00:00I am having a son in a couple weeks, and I'm naming him after you, bro.
00:05I swear to you, I'm letting you know right now.
00:07I'm not going to say his full name on the live or whatnot, but his initials are going to be
00:11PTO.
00:12Now, back to Stiney and Guru on 95.7 The Game.
00:15Willow, why are you trying not to? I didn't get the joke, dude. I still don't get it.
00:20Yeah, yeah.
00:20Neither do I, Guru.
00:23Neither do I. Enjoy Friday, by the way. Enjoy Friday.
00:27It's time for the crossover.
00:30Brought to you by Bay Alarm. Rest easy. We've got you covered. Bayalarm.com.
00:34We have people that pay us for that.
00:36Oh, yeah. My bad.
00:38Got a layout.
00:39Good afternoon, guys. Willard and Dibbs in the house.
00:42What's up, buddy?
00:43Hey, how you doing?
00:44What's going on, Dynamite?
00:45Friday, you're off?
00:46Oh, yeah, I'm going to Mexico.
00:47Juneteenth.
00:48I mean, yeah.
00:50Oh, no, it isn't, actually.
00:51No, wow.
00:52Now, whoa.
00:53And he worked last year on Juneteenth.
00:55I know.
00:55And he said he was taking it off this year.
00:58As we all should.
01:00You know what?
01:00I think...
01:01That was bad.
01:02Once we get closer to Juneteenth, I am going to need to ask you some questions.
01:07Yeah, but I thought you were talking about Mexico.
01:09That's what I thought.
01:09Where are you going to Mexico?
01:11Friday through Monday.
01:13No, no, no. Where? Where, where, where?
01:14Encinita.
01:15Oh, okay.
01:15Encinata?
01:16Whatever.
01:17There's a restaurant in San Fermo.
01:19Encinata.
01:20Encinata.
01:21Encinata.
01:22No, that's called Encinata.
01:24Encinata.
01:24Yeah.
01:25Encinata.
01:26It's delicious.
01:26It used to be a plant store.
01:28We tried to go last night, but it was busy.
01:30It was too busy.
01:31Encinata.
01:32Encinata.
01:33What's that?
01:33You over the weekend.
01:34Busy.
01:35Oh, yeah.
01:35He tried to make me out like I was Ray Parker Jr. and having a birthday week because I did
01:42certain things.
01:43Yeah.
01:43But Willard, you were at the park doing it.
01:45We went to Topgolf.
01:46Topgolf.
01:47So, uh...
01:47Which one?
01:48Hold on.
01:48Roseville.
01:49So, Tuesday, Evan and I took him out for drinks for his birthday.
01:53You did that anyway.
01:54No way.
01:55I'm trying to talk.
01:56Oh, boy.
01:57Wednesday, he went out to a steak dinner with his family.
01:59Okay.
02:00That's two days.
02:00Friday, he went with friends to Chaplains.
02:03Okay.
02:03And then Saturday, he went to Topgolf.
02:05That feels a little bit like birthday week.
02:07Yeah.
02:08Can I ask you a question?
02:08Because I heard him do this to you earlier.
02:09Willard, this is not my typo.
02:11You know what I'm getting back to him?
02:12Was Chaplains specific to your birthday, or were you just going out with friends?
02:17All my homies from the U.N., we all made up at Chaplains for my birthday.
02:22And it was for your birthday.
02:23Yeah.
02:24It was for your birthday.
02:24And to watch the game.
02:25Wink, wink.
02:26Sure.
02:26Sure.
02:27And then Topgolf was a family function.
02:30Was the actual outing.
02:31Yeah.
02:31There was the dinner the night of, and then a different outing when you got to the weekend.
02:34Well, the dinner was just the four of us, but then the outing was the in-laws and everything.
02:38Okay.
02:38Oh, wow.
02:38So it almost sounds like two parties.
02:40Hey, Willard, you're making it seem like I'm in Vegas or Acapulco.
02:44I'm just gathering in both.
02:45It wasn't that type.
02:46Just one question.
02:48Did Chris Mullen call into all four functions?
02:51No, he did not.
02:53Stani was behind that.
02:55Yeah.
02:55But I do want to share something.
02:57At Topgolf, not real golf, but it technically is.
03:00I've realized, and I started to show with this, when I'm trying to look at the ball, it's just fade
03:05to black.
03:05What am I doing when I try to focus, it's baseball in my mind, just crushing, but I'm not seeing
03:13my stick hit the ball.
03:14You're looking up.
03:15You're pulling, yeah, you're pulling your head.
03:17Yeah.
03:18You're pulling your head.
03:18You're pulling your head.
03:19I mean.
03:19It's very natural.
03:20It's very unnatural.
03:22Now, I think I'm not pulling my head.
03:24It's just, it's black.
03:26I'm trying to.
03:27You're pulling your head.
03:29Like.
03:29Which is why I'm not seeing.
03:31And.
03:31Right.
03:31You need to, you need to stay down and see it.
03:34And then, like, finally, eventually lift up.
03:37And you'll get to the point where you're not seeing it because it's all kind of second nature.
03:41Have you had someone video the swing yet?
03:44We need to, we need to see the swing.
03:45Only one time, but.
03:46No, I need to go for lessons.
03:47Yeah, I put it out there a couple years.
03:49No, no, no, no, no.
03:49This weekend.
03:50Did you have anyone video?
03:52No, no, no.
03:52And you did Topgolf and nobody took phone video?
03:55No, no.
03:55I'm impressed.
03:56Yeah.
03:56Usually can't go anywhere without everybody filming everything anymore.
03:59Well, you're right.
04:00Yeah.
04:01Well, enough about me.
04:01Take a look at your swing.
04:02So, as much as I think I'm licking down, dummy, you're seeing black because you're turning
04:07your head.
04:07Right.
04:08Yep.
04:08Yep.
04:09No doubt.
04:09Your head goes with your shoulders.
04:10Yeah.
04:11Right?
04:12Anyway.
04:13Yeah.
04:13How about the Giants?
04:14You were at the yard.
04:15I text you, why wasn't Eldridge in the lineup?
04:17And you go, goo, I'm here.
04:19Man, the fans have given up on this team.
04:21Right.
04:21I'll say that.
04:21That's why 100.
04:23Well, 40.
04:24It's not a good one.
04:25Hold on.
04:25Yeah.
04:26I'm just joking.
04:27Obviously.
04:29Over 100.
04:31150,000 people walked through the turnstiles this weekend.
04:39Everyone...
04:39That's not possible.
04:40I was going past it.
04:41It's like 40,000.
04:42No, Friday through Monday.
04:44It was a three-day weekend.
04:45Sure.
04:46Three-day weekend.
04:46Yes, it was four games.
04:47Okay.
04:48And the crowds were all either 38,000 or 40,000.
04:52Right.
04:52All four of them.
04:53Stine said that to me like it was going to shock me.
04:55I guess I'm taking my...
04:57Because that's a beautiful thing.
04:58Shout out to the Bay and the baseball fans, Giant fans.
05:01But what about the product?
05:03What did you see?
05:04Where are you both at?
05:05I know where Stine's at.
05:06Just like, I'm flabbergasted that they just can't get out their own way.
05:11After you win two games.
05:12Two games I went to.
05:13They hit the ball all low.
05:14They hit the shred out of the balls.
05:15Grand slams.
05:16Balls flying everywhere.
05:17They scored 18 runs over the weekend.
05:20So, I don't know.
05:21Maybe I'm not the guy to ask.
05:23I do think there's a discussion to be had, though, when social media sounds like it does.
05:30Sports radio sounds like it does.
05:32Doom and gloom.
05:33And then the ballpark looks like it does.
05:35It's the best ballpark in the world.
05:37It's just people pulling shirts off and having them fly through the air even when you're down 9-2.
05:42It's Darth Vader escorting the umpires onto the field for Grogu's Star Wars Day on Sunday.
05:49I mean, it's the sunshine.
05:50Will, I know you.
05:51I just want to make sure I'm following you.
05:53You're not dare saying me if everything's okay because the fans are having a good time.
05:58I'm telling you what I saw.
06:00I am curious if there's an echo chamber because the fans did not act this weekend like they're pissed.
06:07They acted this weekend like they're having a freaking blast.
06:11And the larger point I would make is that's why the Giants are never going to tear down and rebuild.
06:17Wow.
06:18Why would they?
06:20They're sixth in attendance in all of baseball.
06:23And they stink.
06:23And they're 10 below.
06:24That's where you were headed with that.
06:26And so Friday, like, they're awful.
06:28And it's like tarps off and let's go crazy.
06:30And it becomes viral.
06:32It's like, oh, my God.
06:32There's so many people who are shirtless and they don't care that they're down, whatever, 17 to one or nine
06:38to two or whatever.
06:39And then Mark goes Saturday, Sunday.
06:41It's like, yeah, this team, they're back.
06:43They're them.
06:44And then yesterday, it's like, oh, my God.
06:46Here's a ground ball to short.
06:48Oh, my God, Adamus.
06:50Like, catch the bleeping ball.
06:53Even Manute Bull couldn't have caught that throw.
06:55That was from short.
06:57And then, you know, Casey Schmidt.
06:58Yeah, let's have him play the outfield.
07:00Ooh, maybe not.
07:01But, like, who else can?
07:03Well, not Rodriguez.
07:04Not Schmidt.
07:05Not anybody.
07:06So, yesterday was more, I think, for me, an example of who they really are.
07:11It's like, I mean, their team is, they're good at times, but also at times it's like, oh, my God,
07:16they're kind of a mess.
07:18So, two and two in the four games you talked about.
07:21Big crowds, tarps off, multiple errors, grand slams.
07:26Multiple grand slams.
07:28And they go two and two.
07:29So, here we are.
07:30Ten games below on a Tuesday.
07:33Okay, right back where you all started.
07:37Officially a third of the way through the season.
07:40Exactly.
07:4054 games.
07:41To the number.
07:43And the one thing that hit me today was the trading deadline start until August 3rd.
07:49August 3rd, yeah.
07:49So, that's like nine weeks away.
07:52There's nothing to be done right now.
07:54Correct.
07:54I know a lot of people want a big pound of flesh.
07:58But there's nothing to be done right now.
07:59And that's what I'm getting at.
08:01That this could continue for another three or four weeks.
08:06It could get better.
08:07I mean, anything can happen.
08:09But trading deadline's not for a while.
08:12Like, you've got to get through this somehow into mid to late June at least.
08:17Where you can start talking about how to improve this team if it's still floundering.
08:23If I ask you guys, what is it about this experience or this team?
08:29Like, okay, aside from their record, obviously.
08:34It stinks to stink.
08:35But like, what about all of this has you angry?
08:39I think they're better than they're playing.
08:41Okay.
08:42Even offensively, way better.
08:45But now I sound like a jackass because the numbers are proving me to be wrong.
08:49But that, I just, I didn't have full 90.
08:53Like, I believed in this offense.
08:55So, your mind goes to offense.
08:57Yes.
08:57Any particular players?
09:00Well, obviously, they're heating up a little bit.
09:02But I'm grading on a curve.
09:03The big three.
09:04Adamas, Chapman.
09:05I just told Stiney before you guys walked in here.
09:07I had 90 homers between the three of them.
09:0935, 30, and 25.
09:11And I was being, okay.
09:13I mean, it's optimistic, but it's not nuts.
09:14They're on pace for like 47 now.
09:17Right.
09:18Come on.
09:18Devers, Devers, I, like, Devers is doing fine.
09:21He's ripping the ball all over the yard right now.
09:23And by the way, how many homers does he have?
09:25Was he like seven?
09:26Seven.
09:26He'd have 12 if he were still on the Red Sox.
09:29My God, he hits the ball off the wall.
09:31Oh, get that.
09:31Yeah, man.
09:32That thing was, that thing was out.
09:34He had to be a second, like, damn.
09:36I know.
09:36You ever think they go over there and do that thing with their hands,
09:38but they're actually thinking, you gotta be freaking kidding me.
09:42Like.
09:43Chapman has one.
09:44He has one.
09:46One home run.
09:47We were talking about him.
09:48Yeah.
09:48I mean, Devers, to me, is their best player.
09:51Yes.
09:51It's not even close.
09:53Adamas is good.
09:54He should be playing better.
09:56Chapman, there's no way he's this bad.
09:58There's just no way he's this bad.
10:02But, again, like, when I look at the team,
10:06they're also getting a good year out of Schmidt and Arias.
10:12Like, last year, I just don't think they did a lot since last year.
10:17They added Arias, and then they subbed out a couple pitchers for Verlander,
10:21and I was like, nine games is a lot.
10:25I always thought nine games to win more than last year was a lot.
10:28And so, give them your theory on Chapman and Vitello if you're right.
10:32I think Chapman probably looks at Tony Vitello and is like,
10:36I can't believe they fired Bob Melvin for a college coach.
10:40That doesn't explain one home run, right?
10:42Yeah, that's possible.
10:43But, like, I don't, yeah, does that have anything to do with his numbers?
10:46No, I don't think so.
10:47But you do.
10:49But what I'm saying is, like, if they're, you know,
10:53I just compare it to when Baron Davis was coached by Mike Montgomery
10:57after they traded for Baron and they had a couple veterans,
11:00and, like, Baron was like, you've got to be kidding me.
11:03Like, that's all.
11:04There's total, like, I have no insight on that.
11:07That could be completely true.
11:09You've got to be a pro and go perform.
11:10Further than that, I would argue,
11:13if Matt Chapman is a worthwhile big leaguer and, like, grown man,
11:18and I think he's both of those things,
11:20right now he would not be thinking about anything other than his own production.
11:24He's got to be pissed at himself more than anyone, right?
11:27Yeah, I'm not blaming Bitello at all or having Chapman blame Bitello at all,
11:32but covering the Warriors for as long as I did back in the day,
11:38like, if you have veterans, there can be a malaise when they know
11:42and they look around that locker room that we're not that good.
11:47And I'm wondering if that starts setting in, what do you do?
11:52I get that, but at the same time, this is also an individual sport
11:55where, like, you can feel the malaise and you can feel like, you know,
11:59Tony V is not Bob Melvin, who he's known forever,
12:01but you get in the batter's box and it's you against the pitcher.
12:04It doesn't matter who your skipper is or what's going on,
12:07and Chapman's not actually getting jacked around.
12:10He actually is, what, sat twice where he got pulled out only two times,
12:15and otherwise he's been in there.
12:17So, for me, it's not really a Tony V problem.
12:19It's a Chapman problem.
12:21And if you look at his overall numbers, like batting average and, you know,
12:25bat to ball, it's not terrible.
12:27He's lost his power.
12:28That's the issue.
12:30Yeah, but, yeah, you're listening to 95.7 The Game, KGM, ZFM,
12:34and HD1 San Francisco and Odyssey Sports Station,
12:36always live on the free Odyssey app and now broadcasting from the Laughing Monk Studios.
12:40Yeah, it can be also you're looking around and you press and everybody's pressing,
12:45and one day Willie Adamas throws it over the first baseman's head,
12:49and that costs you in another game.
12:51You know, you got a catcher in right field, and that hurts you.
12:55And then, you know, name the plays that have happened,
13:00and you start thinking, oh, boy, here we go again.
13:03Maybe we're not that good.
13:05Like, they got to put together like 8 of 12.
13:09And I thought yesterday was the start after your 18 runs against them.
13:13I'm like, here they go.
13:14You know, Rube on the bump.
13:16Yesterday had that.
13:16And the defense let him down.
13:17He only gave up two arm runs.
13:19Yep, yep, yep.
13:20I mean, they do that a lot.
13:22I mean, that's the, in a way, the beauty of this team is nobody can get mad at anybody but
13:27themselves.
13:28Whatever it is you do on this team, your group needs to do better.
13:32They have scored the fewest runs in the National League,
13:34and only three other teams in the National League have given up more.
13:38So you don't score and you don't stop.
13:41So that's, it's actually amazing that they're 22 and 32, when you think about it from that perspective.
13:47You don't walk, you don't steal, you don't hit home runs.
13:50Wow.
13:51And, I mean, you're now.
13:52And last in runs.
13:53Second to last now.
13:54They're now up to second to last.
13:56Boston, they crept by Boston with a big weekend.
13:59Talk to me.
13:59So, I mean, there's that, and then.
14:01Last in the National League, though.
14:02Right.
14:03Last in the National League.
14:04But there is no more National League, essentially.
14:07Like, with this cockamamie balanced schedule, like the National League, American League, whatever.
14:12Like, it's just one major league.
14:15Casey Schmidt ruined everything.
14:18That's how I see it this year.
14:21No, seriously.
14:23Casey Schmidt, nobody saw this coming.
14:25And now you can't take him out of the lineup.
14:27Your roster ends up totally misconstructed.
14:30Because now you gave a no-trade clause and a long-term deal to Matt Chapman at third base,
14:35which is Casey's natural position.
14:37Oh, man.
14:38You know, you.
14:39He's tearing it up right now.
14:40You signed Luis to rise, and he ends up playing really well, which is Casey's maybe next best position.
14:46That's where he was at most of last year.
14:46Now we start dipping our toe in the water of let's put him over at first base.
14:50But you trade for Rafi Devers and have Bryce Eldridge.
14:54Now you're sticking him in left field, but that's only because Elliott Ramos is hurt.
14:58What happens when he comes back?
15:00You know, what do you do?
15:01And you cannot, cannot take him out of the lineup.
15:04He's their best player.
15:05Yeah.
15:05And nobody saw this coming.
15:07But does all that equate to this putrid offense when you look at the metrics?
15:12No.
15:12But to me, the number one problem facing the Giants right now is a misconstructed roster.
15:19There's too many people like Jesus Rodriguez.
15:21It's an interesting prospect.
15:23Where do you play him?
15:24Will.
15:25Where do you play him?
15:26Right.
15:27Can Schmidt catch?
15:29Right?
15:29I'm like, let's ask him.
15:31Let's ask him.
15:32Craig Biggio.
15:33You know?
15:34Although.
15:35Oh, no.
15:35He went from catching.
15:36He went from catching.
15:37That's a reverse Biggio.
15:39You're going to do it?
15:40Which sounds dirty.
15:41$113 million for Jung-Hoo Lee to play center field.
15:44Oops.
15:45He's not a center fielder.
15:46Let's acquire Hesteros Rodriguez.
15:48We'll put him in the outfield.
15:50What's Bryce Eldridge's position?
15:51We're not sure yet.
15:52Let's acquire Rafi Devers.
15:54And then he plays first base.
15:56Casey Schmidt ends up being your best player.
15:58You have nowhere to put him.
16:00So you've blocked all of these players.
16:03And then you never really paid attention to the bullpen.
16:08And so now you end up with a bad bullpen.
16:12Well, I collected a bet from Stiney, but I'm worried about two bets I got in Hopper.
16:17The one I joined you and Grandy for the six in a row.
16:20We got a lot of baseball.
16:21All right.
16:22That's not six in a row.
16:23That's get back to 500.
16:25Just touch 500.
16:26Oh, yeah.
16:26You have six in a row.
16:29But the 500, that feels like 90 wins.
16:34It's early, but I'm just...
16:35Just got to go 59 and 49 the rest of the way.
16:38No problem.
16:39I actually think...
16:41Which bet would you lose?
16:43Like, which is a better bet?
16:45That's a good question.
16:46Six in a row to me.
16:47I actually think...
16:48Six in a row.
16:50I think six in a row is...
16:52To me.
16:53That's a lot of wins.
16:55No, it's not.
16:56I think six in a row is more likely than them get back to 500.
16:59Okay, you've lost that a couple times in a row, so you can damn sure win them.
17:03Well, that's the whole starting rotation and then another one.
17:06And then McDonald, if he comes back to earth, you know, and I'm...
17:10Robbie Ray, what did you text?
17:11You had to...
17:12You said he doesn't know where the balls go.
17:14Oh, man.
17:15I'm in my living room.
17:16I'm in the lab.
17:17Like, he's right.
17:19The minor league team I used to work for, all I know is Robbie would have gotten fined a bunch
17:24of times.
17:25That manager, he would fine the players.
17:27If you ever walked anyone with bases empty and two outs...
17:31Oh, man.
17:32You were fine.
17:33Oh, man.
17:33And Robbie was doing that.
17:35And Robbie was leading off innings.
17:37Walk number one.
17:39Walk number two.
17:40Counts 0-2.
17:41I'm still going to walk you.
17:42He had no clue where the ball was going.
17:45Yep.
17:45I mean, might be hurt.
17:47Only time will tell.
17:48But, I mean, Giants yet to win four in a row this year.
17:51They have a couple of threes and, you know, a few of the season.
17:55I do think that, you know, as we get closer to the trade deadline, which is, you mentioned it, two
18:00months away, I think you might act early and trade Luis Arise because, like, his value will not arise much
18:08higher than it is.
18:09And so, you're not going to keep him next year.
18:12It's a two.
18:13It's Monday.
18:13It's five.
18:13You're seven and a half back of the third wild card for the believers and dreamers out there.
18:17Would that be a white flag on that?
18:19It's already a white flag.
18:21Like, you don't have to fly the white flag for everyone to realize the white flag is pretty much out.
18:27I don't even think, like, to me, you don't even think about playoffs.
18:30It's like, you know my rule.
18:32Just play.
18:32Get to 500.
18:33Talk to me.
18:34And now we can talk.
18:35If you start a 10-game win streak tonight, good for you.
18:39Now we can have a conversation about trade deadlines and things like that.
18:43But to Dibbs' point, I less think about it about the standings or even the trade deadline.
18:49I think about it more in terms of when does Elliott Ramos get back.
18:52We were just talking about it.
18:54When Elliott Ramos gets back, you have your roster puzzle problem again.
18:59And people think about how Chapman got benched twice.
19:02They don't even think about how Schmidt has also.
19:04But let me ask you this.
19:05Schmidt has sat three times.
19:07And you're not doing that anymore.
19:09If you've never done anything this year, I'm just being real.
19:13When he comes back, is that really the problem, though?
19:16It's not a problem.
19:17When you've been whole, it still hasn't manifested into anything.
19:21Is that truly a problem?
19:24What's your record when he does come back?
19:26And how committed are you to letting Bryce spend the year up here?
19:29Because what you can't do is have Ramos come back.
19:33Then Casey is your everyday DH.
19:36And now Eldridge is just sitting there watching baseball.
19:39You know, if you're two or three games under .500 at that point, that's one conversation.
19:44If you're 13 below, that's another one.
19:47But to Dibbs' point, I think right now they need to commit to Casey just be the left fielder until
19:54Elliott gets back.
19:55When Elliott gets back, you probably need to look at trading Luis or I.
19:59Dibbs, this is on my heart.
20:00I want to run it by you, too.
20:02And I just did to Stony before you pulled up.
20:04And I did it Friday.
20:04I'm going to do it again.
20:06This could be the perfect me example of being a frontrunner.
20:09But I asked Stony just minutes ago, I would do the Devers trade ten times over if I were the
20:15Giants and Buster at the time they pulled off the trade.
20:18I just, that's how much I believe in Devers and who he is.
20:21But with that said, I cannot ignore Kyle Harrison and what he's doing.
20:27And now I'm wondering, am I being too frontrunner-ish?
20:30Can you pitch some timey by being fixated on what he is and what he was supposed to be here
20:35and now say, like I did, could they have gotten Devers and not included Kyle Harrison?
20:41Or is that the epitome of, you goo, you're frontrunning because you didn't say nothing when it happened because I
20:47thought he was done.
20:49It's frontrunning.
20:50And I also think that you have to look at where he is now and what they do with pitchers.
20:53They make pitchers better.
20:54And you look back to here, like why don't the Giants get a guy like Kyle Harrison and make him
21:00better and figure out how to make him better?
21:03And they didn't and Boston didn't either and Boston shipped him to Milwaukee and Milwaukee's like, oh yeah, try this
21:09arm angle and do this and this grip and this and that and now you're good?
21:13Like, wow.
21:14Where's that with the Giants?
21:15Well, he was struggling with injury a lot and his velocity was down and blah, blah, blah.
21:20So I don't know so much about.
21:22Well, he was here.
21:23Yeah, you know, I don't know so much about the developmental process and what like, you know, would this have
21:29happened with any of the teams?
21:30Like this is when he came of age.
21:32But if you would know, here's how I'll answer it.
21:35If you had known that Schmidt was going to look like this and you had known that Harrison was going
21:40to look like this, you probably don't do the deal.
21:42Wow.
21:43I hadn't even thought of that.
21:45But, but, but Rafi Devers is a guy.
21:48I'm still a big believer in Rafi Devers.
21:51I just had to ask.
21:52You know.
21:52No, for sure.
21:53And I think like right now I'm going toward the deadline.
21:56It's hard to do, but you trade a rise to the Dodgers and you bring back Tibbs.
22:01Look at you.
22:02And I give you Tibbs for a rise.
22:03I mean, you're getting Tibbs.
22:05They need a second baseman.
22:07I mean, they need a second baseman.
22:09Tibbs for a rise.
22:11Come on, Tibbs.
22:12Come on.
22:13Come on, Tibbs.
22:14If you think about it, Devers is almost the same player he was in Boston.
22:19He's on his way.
22:21He's closer to Devers in Boston than Adamus is to Adamus in Milwaukee.
22:27They're both pretty close.
22:28Yep.
22:29Adamus, like Chapman is the one who's not himself.
22:32But that's kind of like, that's kind of, what if I told you that?
22:35Like, you know, Adamus and Devers have been pretty good.
22:39People would be like, really?
22:41Yeah, I agree.
22:42Well, but that's what we do.
22:43He's the worst fielder in the game, though, at the most important.
22:46Who?
22:46Adamus.
22:47Like, his numbers are.
22:48I don't agree with that.
22:49Yeah, but if you're into it, the numbers say this dude has got a frying pan out there.
22:54He doesn't have a frying pan out there.
22:56I mean, he made a terrible throw.
22:58You know my take.
22:59I think people are mainly mad at Adamus because his attitude doesn't work when you're losing.
23:04Because he's too happy.
23:06That's what I call the left side of the issue.
23:08What does that say about our society?
23:09Chappy and happy.
23:10It's a problem over there.
23:13They, like, nobody wants to see your chatty smile Gatorade throwing.
23:17They want to hear your popping pills when you're talking to somebody.
23:20You're 10 games under 500.
23:21We want you to be mopey dopey.
23:23That's what we want.
23:25Damn.
23:25It's not being happy as it is.
23:28You know, Chapman is doing his part.
23:30His attitude looks perfect, doesn't it?
23:31Exactly.
23:32Yeah, no fun.
23:33Oh, man.
23:33That's why the Rises over there pimping ground balls in the left field when they're down by seven runs.
23:38It pisses people off.
23:40Adamus 100 points below his career average in OPS right now.
23:44Man.
23:45He's not.
23:45That's the story.
23:46Career average?
23:47His career OPS is 757.
23:49Oh, yeah, yeah.
23:49And he's at 665.
23:50Yeah, his batting average is pretty commensurate.
23:54It's like.
23:54It is.
23:54Yeah, it's May.
23:56It's May.
23:57About to be June.
23:58Seriously.
23:59Getting close.
24:00It's getting late early.
24:01No, but they're both doing a lot better than they did in April.
24:03Yeah.
24:04Like, we're happier with them because they've been better for three weeks.
24:07All righty.
24:09We'll catch you later.
24:10Thanks, Stiney.
24:11Who you got on the show?
24:13Shayna Rubin of the Chronicle is going to come on here in about 15 minutes.
24:17Love it.
24:17We'll be listening.
24:18Other than that, angry people.
24:20Oh, yeah.
24:21Lots of angry people.
24:21Call and be angry on 95.7 The Game.
