00:00You know what?
00:00You brought up something, and I have been thinking this,
00:06and this feels like what we went through with Chaz McCormick.
00:16I don't know how I feel about this, Tyler.
00:18I really don't.
00:20Yeah, it's been a minute, boy.
00:22That right there put a smile on your face.
00:23I don't think I agree with the playing of this, Tyler.
00:26I mean, you just came rolling out.
00:28Good to see you smile.
00:30Well, he didn't play it for white boy Chaz.
00:32I think he just played it.
00:33He's just hunting any reason to play it, yeah.
00:36You'll come at me about white boy Chaz.
00:38But I do think we have potentially a situation like that.
00:43Not only do the numbers show it, and you can look them up.
00:48I mean, their numbers are – Taylor Trammell's numbers have been tracking
00:53to be better than Jake Myers right now.
00:55But it's just like when you watch them, just the eye test.
01:00When you sit there, I am way more confident when Taylor is at the plate
01:06than when Jake is at the plate.
01:08Without a doubt.
01:08Now, I don't know if we've gotten back to the space where Jake was when he was
01:13at rock bottom getting struck out by that second baseman for the White Sox.
01:17They had to come in and pitch.
01:19But you just – I just – it feels more confident when he's out there,
01:24and there's just – like there's just not anything really to me
01:29when I watch them every – that I look at it and say, like, man,
01:32Jake does this, and it has to keep others off the field.
01:38I'll be honest with you, I don't know that I've ever thought that.
01:41I know he's – he won that bronze gold glove.
01:47But, like, I mean, he tracks the ball, which is, like,
01:50probably the best thing that he does on the field.
01:54I'm just saying the ball is probably the best thing he does on the field,
01:57but that ain't enough to keep him in.
02:00And I just – I look at this, and I just – I'm just like,
02:04Taylor Trammell is the better player right now.
02:06I hate to do this to Jake because I feel like he's probably a nice guy.
02:10No, you don't if it's good. Just do it.
02:10But look, man.
02:11Feeling good right now.
02:12I mean, we're talking about a major league baseball center fielder.
02:16I don't know how he keeps getting these episodes.
02:18If – when – yeah, and we've seen – what have we seen, four years of it now?
02:22Four seasons?
02:23I screwed it up.
02:24I mean, if – if when we get to Jake, we immediately start with,
02:29man, he tracks the ball well.
02:30He doesn't throw it well.
02:32He doesn't.
02:33What did Tyler say?
02:33They – anytime they show the – who to run on.
02:37The outfield arm strength.
02:38Who to run on.
02:39Whether you've got a green light, yellow light, a red light.
02:40Go, go, go.
02:41I mean, they've got a flashing green light on his forehead.
02:43They just put the Packers up there.
02:45They just put the Packers jersey up there.
02:47Hit that gas.
02:48It's green.
02:48Yeah, look, man.
02:50I mean, I just – I mean, I'm exhausted even talking about this center field rotation
02:55that's been going on.
02:56It seems like, Joe, like they create the rotation.
03:00They don't even – they don't even allow Jake to be the guy that they want him to be.
03:05I'm trying to do the best I can.
03:06But when we're – the conversations about Jake borderline make me laugh.
03:12It's like – look, I don't care who they start in center field, to be completely honest with you.
03:16I'm with you.
03:17I think – I got a lot more confidence in Taylor.
03:18I think it's just –
03:19I mean, how many guys are going to come along that we say, man, I just feel better.
03:22I just got more confidence in this other guy.
03:23It's been Dubon.
03:24It's been White Boy Chaz.
03:25It's been – now it's Taylor Tramiel.
03:27So, right, and I don't know that Bryce Matthews hadn't been there a time or two this year.
03:30By the way, real quick, Taylor has played 36 games, 101 played appearances, 49, 132 played appearances.
03:39Right now, Jake's got 27 hits.
03:42Taylor's got 25 hits.
03:44Jake's got three home runs.
03:45Taylor's got three home runs.
03:46And they've, like, happened in the last week when he's been getting – when he's been getting time.
03:51Like, I mean, Jake's got six doubles.
03:54He's got five doubles.
03:56He's hitting 275.
03:57Taylor Tramiel, Jake's hitting 204.
04:00I mean, it's on-base percentage, 340 for Taylor Tramiel, 260.
04:05I mean, it is across the board.
04:08He is better.
04:09And then it's just – it is the eye test, too.
04:12I just, like – to me, I do wonder, is he a player that gets exposed if he gets more
04:18at-bats?
04:19Who, Taylor Tramiel?
04:19Taylor.
04:19Or is he a player that you might see more consistency?
04:23I'm going to tell you, that left-handed bat is a bigger deal to the Astros than it is to
04:28us as well.
04:28So you might as well throw that in there as a feather in his cap.
04:31That being able to swing it with some pop from the left side of the plate is big.
04:35I just – again, the Jake Myers stuff, if, you know, if we're going to start the conversation with our
04:43center fielder that he tracks the ball well,
04:45we're in a really bad spot.
04:46Like, what other above-average thing does Jake do?
04:51To average – what other average thing does –
04:54Wear the hell out of them khakis.
04:56What about a jump?
04:57Jump?
04:58Does he get a jump on the ball?
04:59I think that's all it.
05:00That's all – let's all incorporate the hell there's one.
05:02That's all incorporating the tracking.
05:02Yeah, tracking, jump.
05:03Like, yeah, he – and I think he does a really good job with that, Patrick.
05:08I think he does, but –
05:09I think he's somewhere madder than a Hornet right now.
05:11No, I think Pat's throwing it in.
05:13But I just – I don't –
05:15No, I don't feel 7-1-3-5-7-2-4-16, YouTube, and Twitch.
05:18When I watch, I just feel better about Taylor Trammell being out there.
05:24I think Taylor Trammell defensively, it's fine.
05:27There's not a huge difference.
05:29Yeah, there's just not a huge difference to me, just like it wasn't with Chaz,
05:32just like it wasn't with Dubon.
05:34Right.
05:37Man, I don't know, man.
05:38Taylor's in the lineup in center field again today, by the way, so.
05:42That makes sense.
05:48Someone text in, Ron, Jake is 30.
05:50What are we talking about?
05:51I don't know why they – I don't know what it is.
05:53Is Jake really 30?
05:55I just know he's from Nebraska.
05:57I mean, I still – I still look at Jake and think –
05:59He's probably from Omaha.
06:0018 or 19?
06:01He's probably kicked it in Omaha.
06:02Oh, no question.
06:04I mean, he owns –
06:0430 on the dot.
06:05He owns Omaha.
06:06What part of Nebraska is he from?
06:08Is he where close to Omaha?
06:10He looks like a Lincoln kid.
06:12See, I just did it.
06:12I'm not going to do it again.
06:13Yes, you are.
06:13Just do it.
06:14Man, it's fine, man.
06:14I leaned into you just wearing out Omaha.
06:16Just stop.
06:17I think everything I've heard about Omaha, Nebraska is this tremendous place.
06:20Oh, he's straight up from Omaha.
06:21He's from Omaha.
06:22Is he really?
06:23I just found it.
06:25No wonder Ron doesn't like him.
06:27I didn't.
06:28I just –
06:28Anything associated with that town in Nebraska.
06:31It's not that I don't like it, and it's one of the most overrated towns,
06:35but it's not that I – and I don't know why they keep getting good things.
06:39Des Moines has got to be like saying, look at us.
06:41Like, anyway, but it's –
06:42I didn't eat any corn.
06:43I mean, it's just like – I mean, Jackson, Mississippi is fun for some.
06:46But, I mean, like he – but I just don't understand how he keeps holding people off.
06:53Oh, yeah.
06:54Chaz is out of the –
06:57Dubon.
06:58Dubon had bounced.
06:59It is going to be a potential all-star for the Braves at 17 positions.
07:05And they held him off.
07:07Traylor Trammell right now until they do something at the break,
07:10unless they go get something.
07:11He should be the everyday center fielder to me.
07:14Bro, the one thing we do know is the Astros don't want an everyday center fielder.
07:19Or they want Jake to be it.
07:21They don't want one or they want Jake to be it.
07:24And, damn it, Dana and Jed, and they're crossing their arms and saying, no.
07:28No, damn it.
07:28Every year they find somebody to rotate through there.
07:31Thanks, God.
07:31Thanks,� Mater.
07:31Thanks,
07:31guys. Thanks,
