00:06:15swinging
00:06:15in the Mets hold on to win 10-9 on Sunday like to turn our attention just for a second
00:06:22to Los Angeles
00:06:24our hearts are heavy this morning as we mourn with one of our baseball players Eliezer Alfonso Jr.
00:06:30who made his MLB debut on Sunday was told before the game that his stepmom and his sister who have
00:06:36been missing in the Venezuelan earthquake had passed and there are no words that we can say I can't
00:06:43imagine the emotion I can't imagine the grief and then he had to play in the game he's been looking
00:06:50forward to his whole entire life so from us at MLB Network our thoughts are with you we are we
00:06:57are lifting
00:06:57you up and I want to go to Los Angeles where all the fans were in support and loving him
00:07:05from afar
00:07:06this was Eliezer Alfonso when he came up in the bottom of the third a standing ovation from
00:07:12just a supportive crowd bigger than baseball listen in
00:07:18continue to receive cheers from the Dodgers crowd he is on our hearts his dad or and I don't know
00:07:25how
00:07:26he was able to go out I don't either like what a testament to him and mental toughness our hearts
00:07:34go
00:07:34out to him I honestly I don't know how many guys could have done it we are thinking of him
00:07:40constantly
00:07:40it's been on our hearts all weekend it's Manny Machado and the Padres lead it five to nothing
00:07:46trying to snap an eight game losing skid here's Shohei in the bottom of the seventh who turned 32 on
00:07:53Sunday a single into left center field a run will score and the Dodgers trail by three and then
00:07:58Mason Miller and the bottom of the ninth looking to close out the game Dalton rushing flies out to
00:08:03center field and Padres win but our minds and our thoughts with Alfonso he spoke on the tragedy
00:08:09after the game this is a tough moment because like three weeks ago she told me that she had a
00:08:18beautiful dream but she wasn't going to tell me anything until the dream came true and I'm pretty
00:08:24sure the dream was something about this and I wish she she was she was alive to watch me playing
00:08:33in the big
00:08:34league's bed I know she's in God's eyes now and she's going to protect me and she's going to enjoy
00:08:44every moment that I'm going to have outside playing she had a beautiful dream for her brother to live out
00:08:51his dream and live it out right here we are lifting that young man up what an incredibly brave person
00:08:58we
00:08:59will be watching him and his career closely sending our love his Dodgers host the Rockies here in Los
00:09:05Angeles tonight one of eight games on the Monday slate after a weekend series with the Padres
00:09:14let's go to Cleveland for the finale of a four game set between the White Sacks and the Guardians
00:09:19in all four games were pretty much nip and tuck Kyle Teal he has hit in eight of his 11
00:09:28games since
00:09:28making his season debut just a couple of weeks ago that's his second home run of the season and the
00:09:33White Sox have a 2-0 lead home half chase DeLauter hey D-Rowe he's putting together a nice rookie
00:09:40campaign man hey he certainly is there's a bunch of them Bazana the Leo Watson the Cooper angle the
00:09:48kitty core but hey a game progressive field the ball jumps DeLauter's first guy he's going potential
00:09:56third button you think Colson Montgomery starting to figure this game out well he's got 23 bombs on the
00:10:03year and the White Sox take a 6-3 lead home half Kyle Manzardo the Gardo oh that ball is
00:10:11misplayed at
00:10:12shortstop Montgomery looks like he got eaten up by a little bit so a potential double play but now
00:10:18it's two on with no one out next batter Gabriel Arias and that error comes back to haunt the White
00:10:25Sox
00:10:26and the Guardians tie it at three in the sixth bases loaded for Sam Antonacci oh with the bases loaded
00:10:40the run scores Antonacci gets the fielder's choice RBI White Sox go on to win 7-6 they split the
00:10:49four
00:10:49game series between the Guardians and they begin the week with a one game lead over the Guardians in the
00:10:56of the American League Central a team that lost 100 games for three straight seasons now very much in
00:11:04the thick of the postseason race and Dero it was so fitting that over the weekend there were so many
00:11:09fireworks there was so much good in our game it was the all-star nominations and so much happening
00:11:15on the field what was your takeaway your biggest takeaway well I want to I want to I want to
00:11:20attack
00:11:20it a little bit different because there was some huge on July 4th on Saturday there were some
00:11:25huge guys stepping up in a big way I know Robert wants to talk about Jordan Alvarez he might have
00:11:30sealed the AL MVP before we even get to the all-star game but I was sitting there Lauren Robert
00:11:37were you
00:11:38able to lock in on a huge fireworks spectacle oh heck yeah over the Hudson yep okay the best one
00:11:44I ever
00:11:44saw I'll never forget 2012 in DC there's nothing better on the Potomac oh in our nation's capital I was
00:11:50there last right well up at the lake up at B-Max house they were blowing off like monster fireworks
00:11:57so
00:11:57I was diving in on chrysanthemums and willows and bombs all the different fireworks they use so I wanted
00:12:04to put them with different guys so let's get into who had monster July 4th okay let's start with your
00:12:11boy Jordan Alvarez is the game moving too slow for this cat he leads the American League in homers RBIs
00:12:19on
00:12:20base percentage slug extra base hits and then Junior Caminero was having a moment and Jordan said no not in
00:12:28my house I'm going walk off dead center and making the game like I said look easy but let's give
00:12:36some
00:12:36love to Junior Caminero as well he is a chrysanthemum he bursts with volume and he lasts forever right now
00:12:44he is now homer 11 times in his last 12 games including a streak of six straight games with a
00:12:52bomb I
00:12:53cannot wait to see him in the home run derby he is turning into a superstar okay the willow was
00:13:00on
00:13:00display in LA on July 4th I love watching Yamamoto take the mound he's elegant he's flowing he takes over
00:13:08the sky over his last eight starts six and two with a 148 ERA opponents are hitting a dollar 63
00:13:17off this
00:13:18pan I know we're going to talk about Yuri Perez but on Saturday it was Sandy's turn Sandy Alcantara and
00:13:25you
00:13:25could start to imagine with Yuri and Max Meyer and Sandy they'd be a tough draw in the postseason he
00:13:33was vintage eight innings six hits one run one walk eight punch outs for the Miami Marlins in Sacramento
00:13:41let's keep it rolling I know Randy Rosarena hit the granny but I think the biggest takeaway for me was
00:13:49Logan Gilbert seven and a third of one hit ball against the Jays on Saturday no runs no walks seven
00:13:57punch outs Seattle is seven one in his last eight starts he has a 178 ERA in that span and
00:14:05the opponents
00:14:06are hitting a dollar fifty four they need him to be the dude Robert talked about it Jordan Walker
00:14:13first time all-star it has been the entire first half for him yeah and over the weekend three for
00:14:20nine
00:14:21all three hits going for extra base hits at Ridley he's now one of three players with 20 plus bombs
00:14:2710 plus stolen bases to go with James Wood and Miguel Vargas who's not falling in love with Colson Montgomery
00:14:34I remember him at the combine he was Mr. Indiana in basketball who I want to decide to play baseball
00:14:42yeah good choice because since he debuted on the fourth of July a year ago he's got 44 big ones
00:14:50and 108 RBIs over 156 games hey watch out in San Francisco Devers is starting to heat up but this
00:15:01guy Bryce Eldridge he sparkled that shine from start to finish this guy's got glitter all over him he hit
00:15:09a majestic 460 foot bomb at Coors it was part of a two for five day with two bomb uh
00:15:15two RBIs he's
00:15:17starting to and he's from your area too Lauren I remember having him on the show talking about some
00:15:22deli Mexican restaurant you got to be careful with all that glitter you can't you got to be careful
00:15:29it doesn't come off it does not okay okay you know you said imagine with Sandy and Yuri I wonder
00:15:36if the Marlins are going to get there past the trade deadline together we're going to talk about
00:15:41that yeah they're their season high seven games above 500 I mean I would love to see them keep it
00:15:45going
00:15:46because I think you're right Dero they could be very interesting if they could find their way into
00:15:50the postseason with without question and Otto Lopez first-time all-star Xavier Edwards you know
00:15:58I don't like first day back to talk about snubs I know you like to honor the all-stars yeah
00:16:03let's

00:19:16there in philadelphia all week so there's a lot of cool things about all-star week but one of them
00:19:23is hearing guys learn that they've been named to the all-star team here's a sample
00:19:31the starting shortstop for the all-star game is in this room cj abrams
00:19:36i appreciate everybody in here oh i look forward to coming to the field every day
00:19:44y'all make it fun um it's not easy to do what we do and we're doing it so let's
00:19:49keep rocking yeah it's
00:19:50amazing i just want to say thank you to the fans for voting me in uh i just special every
00:19:54all-star game
00:19:54i know my uh my boys are happy i would say my girls too but i don't think she knows
00:19:59what's going on yet
00:19:59so uh no it's gonna be awesome 10 all-star games i couldn't ask for a more special experience it
00:20:05was
00:20:05good um like i said before it was definitely on the list when it came out so uh it's uh
00:20:13pretty cool
00:20:13uh i'm gonna just leave family tickets they want to come to the game they can buy them so i've
00:20:18learned
00:20:18my lesson before
00:20:21he's right he has a lot of all-star games now what's interesting laurie is you take a look at
00:20:27the american league starting lineup if you look at the outfield of which mike trout is a part of
00:20:31he's dealing with a bit of an injury he's close to and trending towards a return maybe later this
00:20:38week or early you know maybe this week so but byron buxton had to leave the game with a hip
00:20:43injury
00:20:44aaron judge still dealing with his rib injury so there's a chance that buxton judge who knows what
00:20:50what trout is going to do maybe the outfield looks vastly different than what this graphic is showing
00:20:54d-roll he's right this american league outfield could look so different than it looks right now
00:21:00and that's why we won't know until and the other thing is vladimir guerrero jr dealing with a back
00:21:05issue he is not going to take part in the game nick kurtz will replace him as a start as
00:21:11for your
00:21:12national league it looks like this by the way shout out to brandon marsh what a season season and a
00:21:17half two seasons he's put together and to be starting in his home ballpark that has to feel
00:21:22very good juan soto andy pajes uh shohei otani is your dh freddie freeman at first base ozzy
00:21:29i'll be cj abrams max muncie and drake baldwin 26 first timers are part of the all-star squad
00:21:37in philadelphia as for um yeah d-roll what what do you make of kind of the all-star
00:21:45teams as a whole there yeah a couple things you you want to give love to some of the guys
00:21:50who had
00:21:51monster first halves in the american league shea langoliers has really stepped up and become one of
00:21:56the premier catchers in the game sitting on 20 homers going into the break he's been fantastic
00:22:02nick kurtz probably should have been the starter over vlad to begin with so i think it kind of works
00:22:08itself out that way i'd love i'd love to see mike trout run out on that field in philly he
00:22:14grew up not
00:22:14too far away from that yard and i think the fans would go bonkers to see him ernie clement being
00:22:20the
00:22:21leading vote getter american league yeah blue jay fans and i know byron buxton is probably like you
00:22:28said dealing with the hip but we can't deny this guy's got 25 jacks and ops north of 900 he
00:22:35is
00:22:35fantastic for that and a few notes zero that are worthy of talking about robert said at 26 first
00:22:41time all-star four rookies braves dodgers and phillies each sending five players that's tied for
00:22:47the most of any club but the 26 first time all-stars dear i mean you did it all in
00:22:51this game and you've
00:22:52talked about so much about how much an all-star nomination would have meant to you 26 first time
00:22:58this is a big deal huge deal let's give let's focus on a few guys right let's focus on the
00:23:04fact that
00:23:05kevin mcgonigal was in the futures game leading into the all-star game and now he's an all-star and
00:23:11he's
00:23:11got more walks than strikeouts that's on look at them rice riley green i think the world's starting to
00:23:19figure out he's fantastic so those two tigers going on the flip side in the national league with the
00:23:26reserves butter goodman's got 27 homers he's done most of his damage away from coors field so i love
00:23:35the i love the fact that he's getting his recognition and if we're facing the game on war
00:23:42p crow armstrong's been the most like complete baseball player the entire first half and also
00:23:51just kind of a little to get bryce harper into that game which he should have been there from jump
00:23:57is rob manfred steps up and makes him the legends pick on the national league side so he'll get a
00:24:02rousing ovation when he gets up auto lopez two years ago was waived now he's in the all-star game
00:24:08and i love what you said deservedly deservedly so i love what you said about pco pca because we always
00:24:14talk about that it factor whatever it is he has it but he's also he's so electric but he's learning
00:24:19this
00:24:20in front of our eyes i feel like he's growing up as a ball player on the biggest stage doing
00:24:25the
00:24:25biggest things in the biggest moments in front of our eyes so it's very cool to see that kind of
00:24:29come
00:24:30to fruition cool all-star yeah let's take a look at the pitching staff for both the american league
00:24:35and the national league and which pitchers will be going a lot of first-timers here as you take a
00:24:41look
00:24:41at the american league dylan c spryan baker among those first-timers along with jacob last and parker
00:24:48messick hey d-ro jacob latz might be a name that even our viewers aren't aware of but he's been
00:24:56excellent for that rangers bullpen he's been fantastic he's been a lockdown closer for them
00:25:01he has i mean you can go up and down this list brian baker in tampa i was shocked to
00:25:07learn dylan
00:25:08cease hadn't been to an all-star game and that this will be his first he's been one of the
00:25:12better
00:25:12pitchers you know strikeout wise in the entire game for a while cam schlittler minus the one clunker's
00:25:19been fantastic for the new york yankees and then flip it to the national league chase burns is going to
00:25:25fight for a cy young with miserowski and otani so the guy who kind of jumps out at me here
00:25:32is eduardo rodriguez this being his first all-star game and facing him in the finals for the wbc for
00:25:39venezuela nothing he has taken that and gone right into the season and had an amazing first half so
00:25:47pretty cool up and down the lineup for them to get all-star nods i think what's interesting when
00:25:53you look at that national league graphic it was first second third and chris sails like tenth he's
00:25:58the only he's the only one now as we mentioned when we showed you the american league starting
00:26:04lineup vladimir guerrero jr was listed however he is not going to play he has respectfully declined
00:26:10as a result of an injury he's been dealing with let's hear from what vlad had to say about this
00:26:15over
00:26:15the weekend very grateful for everyone that vote for me but at this time i'm very respectfully i'm
00:26:28declining to go decide to rest and to prepare myself for the for the second half of the season maybe
00:26:36like a week ago before i always take a decision i did i talked to my family some of the
00:26:42veteran guys
00:26:42years as you guys know uh i'm being having a little bit issues with my lower back so i i
00:26:51think that
00:26:51comes first uh for me to to prepare myself uh for me and for my team and to have a
00:26:58strong half uh second
00:26:59half and that was uh the main thing of uh my decision dira what'd you make of this decision and
00:27:06how much
00:27:06of it do you think is health and how much of it is it do you think he's saying i'm
00:27:10hitting 266 with
00:27:11349 it's like that's not me i don't feel worthy of that we love him he came out on the
00:27:17biggest stage
00:27:18in the postseason just we loved on him so much last year but what do you think is it equal
00:27:22parts
00:27:23i i think it is lauren a couple things i go back to the 80s when i was a kid
00:27:27watching a midsummer
00:27:28classic you want to see the stars right right the cal ripken the ricky henderson's regardless of what
00:27:35they were hitting in the first half then you play in the big leagues for 15 years and you realize
00:27:39how
00:27:39important it is to try and make an all-star game and then you want it you want the first
00:27:45half to
00:27:45matter and i love that hit that it's gotten to that point where guys are getting in that have
00:27:50had monster first halves i look at vlad if toronto's going to make a run at this thing he has
00:27:56got to be
00:27:56firing on all cylinders we saw this last year with julio rodriguez he declined he like politely declined and
00:28:04then he went bonkers in the second half for seattle so maybe there's a little bit of that he realizes
00:28:10he
00:28:11has to be the guy 266 with four and 14 doubles and 35 rbis i mean it's not enough and
00:28:19he knows it and
00:28:20if it's something with his low back that he can get right he appreciates the fan support but he
00:28:25understands the the bigger prize at stake in the second half for the blue jays that makes sense uh blue
00:28:30jays in san francisco tonight to take on the giants beginning a series there we're gonna have to
00:28:35leave it there but when we come back six outs away from history and the marlins take yuri perez
00:28:43out of the game coming up we'll unpack the decision and wonder
00:28:48was it the right one we'll talk about that the express train is next
00:29:02all right express train three boxes d rose on his home cam lauren and i are here in beautiful studio
00:29:0821 twins yankees brooks lee in the fourth dero was he one of your stock watches for the month of
00:29:13july
00:29:17that's all i was thinking about yeah i was thinking about the twins winning a series in the bronx for
00:29:22the
00:29:22first time since 2014 that's uh royce lewis there in the fifth but dero the story was joe ryan he
00:29:29has been
00:29:29so good for them seven scoreless nine strikeouts yeah the upshoot heater we're going to talk about
00:29:34them a little bit later when al lighter comes on they're interesting because their lineup has like
00:29:40like buxton and royce lewis and groups lead they can score some runs he'll come down to the starting
00:29:46rotation after joe ryan and potentially taj bradley yeah yankees have lost uh 12 of 15 our top story
00:29:54rays astros rubber game between these two christian walker mom 20th home run of the season
00:30:02won nothing and then isaac paredes oh shocker so weird he pulled it what
00:30:10homer what he's got 12 uh peter lambert was fantastic again josh hater closes it out astros take
00:30:20two of three from the rays this weekend including an epic comeback on saturday we'll discuss that a
00:30:26little bit later now they go to the nation's capital to take on the nats it's a game many of
00:30:30you will see right here on the network a little bit later and the rays have a four game lead
00:30:34in the east
00:30:34yes they do play the yankees uh tigers rangers oh that's a good series beginning jake berger look at
00:30:41where this one goes four hundred and forty seven feet one nothing riley green you mentioned him
00:30:50earlier d-ro he has been hitting hanks he's playing d in left field yeah he made a great catch
00:30:57out there
00:30:57yesterday and then green again he finished a double shy of the cycle tigers win six to three
00:31:03he's made he's going to be making his third straight all-star appearance i believe he's the first tigers
00:31:09outfielder to do that since al calon at least that's what steve they gotta pay him at some point yeah
00:31:15you're right pirates nats brian reynolds pirates have double digit hits in eight of their last nine
00:31:21games according to stuff and research wow hey you know what's a name or a guy that hits and doesn't
00:31:28get talked about i mean at all tell me nationwide league-wide luis garcia jr what does he have nine
00:31:34five homers in his last 13 at bats how many does he have
00:31:40brandon lau b lau pirates go on to win 11 to 5 uh garcia jr his career high 19th homer
00:31:5010 since june 19th
00:31:53and uh connor griffin was excellent in this series and in this game we'll talk more about that
00:31:58aaron griffin's playing shortstop he looks like a dn yeah marlin a's
00:32:04hit eriberto hernandez hit two homers leo jimenez went deep auto lopez went deep
00:32:12marlin set a franchise record with 12 homers in a three-game span they're up eight to nothing but the
00:32:20story was yuri perez and he was dominant struck out seven batters and he's perfect through six
00:32:30in the bottom of the seventh zat geloff grounds out he is perfect through seven on only 92 pitches but
00:32:42they decide to take him out in the bottom of the eighth there goes the perfect game
00:32:48lake bachar with the walk following that walk joshua kuroda grower bloops a single
00:32:57the no-hitter the perfect game it's all over the shutout it's over to jonah heim hit a grand slam
00:33:05to make it close but the marlins hang on but here's what they were saying about yuri afterwards
00:33:15you know he had it really going today and i totally get it and there was a part of my
00:33:27heartstrings
00:33:27pulling at uh you know his opportunity to keep on going but i think i have to think about yuri
00:33:33one
00:33:33and our organization our team and what's you know best moving forward to give us a chance to continue
00:33:39to win games look at his three starts for yuri since coming off the il dependable performances
00:33:45presented by mark west and he was exactly that he's six outs away from pitching the first perfect
00:33:50game in franchise history d row retired all 21 batters he faced he was flawless and you heard
00:33:56clayton mccullough on his thinking and the response to the criticism i get it but there was part of my
00:34:01heart
00:34:01strings pulling but i had to think about what's best for everyone in that moment that moment when
00:34:07they pulled him what were you thinking yeah i could i you know i disagreed with it i i would
00:34:15have went
00:34:15i would have gone hitter to hitter right there the score was eight nothing he was cruising it wasn't
00:34:22like he was over exerting himself i i think it's time and place right if it's a one nothing game
00:34:28and it
00:34:29it's on the line i totally get it he's throwing stressful pitches throughout the game but he was
00:34:34it was buzzsaw all day long 92 pitches when you're cruising we've heard john smoltz come on this show
00:34:41multiple times and talk about every pitch is different whether it's stressful or not and i do think it's
00:34:48case by case last week when i was in carry with our 16u team our number one starter and i
00:34:54hate to i hate
00:34:55to make this comparison there was multiple major universities in the stands from alabama to west
00:35:03virginia on down the line and it was his moment i let him go 95 pitches he was cruising and
00:35:10it was
00:35:10an opportunity for him to get a potential full ride to a major university you have a chance to make
00:35:16history right there in an eight nothing game at least give him the opportunity to go back out there
00:35:22so i i disagreed with it but i also we're not in there we're not dealing with peter bendix and
00:35:30clayton mccullough and they have been with this guy from jump sandy alcantara yuri perez max meyer they
00:35:37have a legitimate chance to like really scare some people in the second half and make a run at this
00:35:43thing their offense with kyle stowers and otto lopez and xavier edwards there's a lot to like here liam
00:35:52hicks so i i get it i would say boots on the ground we're not there we're not privy to
00:35:58all the
00:35:58information from a romantic that's the baseball bull durham type of thinking come on come on yeah but
00:36:09getting back to his performance yesterday dira what specifically were the reasons behind he was able to
00:36:16carve through what is a very but you know we've seen how dynamic that a's offense can be yeah i
00:36:22think for
00:36:23me robert it's the maturation of the full arsenal i i try and think about when you're driving to the
00:36:30yard and you're going to face yuri perez you can't come off the fastball you can't it's just the
00:36:35extensions too much the 99 to 100 miles an hour four seamers too much but if you watch this game
00:36:43he had a little bit of everything working he had incorporated a little sinker into the mix he had
00:36:49the slider working he had weapons to go with the fastball and it showed because there were moments
00:36:57and i want to get into this a little bit yeah let's take a look at it stuff plus taking
00:37:03the totality of
00:37:04the nastiness of what he brings to the table we all know jacob miserowski is going to be on top
00:37:09of this
00:37:10list right there's christopher sanchez who's in third yuri perez hot change me to the next sport
00:37:17devin fastball velocity jacob miserowski sitting at 100.4 bubba chandler and then yuri perez when you're
00:37:25north of 97 miles an hour the opposition cannot come off the heater you can't and if you do and
00:37:35he
00:37:35throws it you're dead i'm going to take you into just two quick at bats i want to look at
00:37:40a lawrence
00:37:41butler ab and i want to look at a max muncie ab in the third and i'll walk you through
00:37:46this right here
00:37:46he shows him a little bit of everything but when he falls behind in the count and he has to
00:37:53execute a
00:37:54pitch here it is big boy you got to get to 99 miles an hour it's fouled off fouled off
00:38:02and then i
00:38:02execute a two-seamer boom spotted in black see see you later right there for lawrence butler
00:38:09here is what i'm talking about when you have an opportunity to come off the fastball max muncie
00:38:16is going to get in a 2-2 count right here he's going to pull a heater and he's going
00:38:21to think maybe
00:38:21he goes slider down and away and he's late you can see it he's late to pull the trigger right
00:38:29there
00:38:29and i get it because if we bring up the next board he was showing a little bit different normally
00:38:3752
00:38:37percent four seamer yesterday 38.4 and then you look at the incorporation of the sinker to get some weak
00:38:46contact and we can go right into the tape i don't want to pick on my man zach gelov but
00:38:52he had three
00:38:52tough babies right here he's going to roll over the little high slider up and away he's on the fastball
00:39:00he's out in front and gives you the little rollover to third now he's telling himself in his second ab
00:39:05i gotta stay back right and what happens he gets beat with the fastball and gets jammed in an 0
00:39:12-0 count
00:39:12so then he comes up his next at bat and he's all flustered you're over two you're fighting for your
00:39:19life
00:39:20you get in a 2-1 count you get jam sandwiched and you're running down the first base wondering
00:39:25why did i even start playing this game when i was a little sparky
00:39:30you're questioning everything
00:39:32jerry perez that's why i would have loved to have seen him i think he had it he had a
00:39:37chance to throw a
00:39:39perfect game in the show and we just take him out weapons to go with the fastball and his marlins
00:39:47by
00:39:47the way tied for a wild card 23 and 8 since the start of june that's the best record in
00:39:51the majors
00:39:52in that span season high seven games above 500 should be yeah what you got can i say something real
00:39:57quick yes you can i'd love the way yuri perez handled the post game he had his manager back absolutely
00:40:04that's a great decision that without that was class by them yes it was uh we're going to talk more
00:40:10about the yuri perez i'm sure in the miami marlins in the days moving forward but first
00:40:15all of these players were named to next week's all-star game but coming up what are the chances
00:40:21that one or more find themselves traded at the deadline john hayman on the inside corner is next
00:40:35my trade deadline comes into focus after all star john hayman here to make it all make sense on
00:40:41deep breath that's your job john hayman on the inside corner i was reading through uh the terek
00:40:46scoogle rumors online this week and the new york media convinced that the yankees need him this is how
00:40:51it works right now right now who's in on terek school let's start there well i think anybody who's a
00:40:57contender who has the money to spend uh is going to be in on terek school bull and i he
00:41:02was here
00:41:03last week with the tigers to a great game against the yankees and he knows the score he knows what's
00:41:08up he knows that there's a good chance that he'll be traded even if they are back in the race
00:41:13this is
00:41:14not a bad team but i i think that they feel that they can get a lot for him and
00:41:19uh doesn't mean they're
00:41:20giving up if they do trade him but i i think that either way whether they're in the race or
00:41:25not there's
00:41:25a good chance that they do trade him because he is obviously a free agent to be there isn't a
00:41:31good
00:41:31chance that they will be able to keep him and uh you know so i think he understands it's fairly
00:41:37likely
00:41:38at this point that he does get traded i'm gonna throw in the phillies there we've heard them their
00:41:42name a little bit but uh obviously they've been looking for a number of different things but we know
00:41:48they have talked about starting pitching more on the back end of the thing but uh i i wouldn't be
00:41:54shocked to beat the dodgers you gotta have left handers obviously they got sanchez and luzardo
00:41:59you add scoobal to that that's a pretty good trio of left handers so i'm gonna throw the phillies in
00:42:05there and you mentioned the yankees yeah it goes up and down back and forth now with the rodon injury
00:42:10he's gonna be out four to six weeks presumably i mean this is a team that came in with a
00:42:15ton of ton of
00:42:16starting pitching and you wouldn't have thought that scoobal would be a possibility for them i still
00:42:21think that they're probably a long shot for scoobal but they are gonna look at starting pitching so
00:42:26you do never know it's interesting to see what team has the most attractive assemblance of players
00:42:32back we will see come the deadline we said it earlier in the show 26 first-time all-stars four
00:42:38rookies john hayman i thought wow but it's the veteran all-stars who could find themselves in a
00:42:43different uniform where do you want to start who do you think yeah there's about seven guys who could
00:42:49be traded uh who are all-stars at this point now we will have guys added so we'll see who
00:42:54else could
00:42:55sure it could look different join in that mix but we got a pretty good list here certainly arise who's
00:43:00a free agent to be buxton's got the full no trade he's having a fantastic season so and he he
00:43:06has a
00:43:06little bit of a hip situation now so probably not that likely with him chapman we don't know with
00:43:11the red sox i mean they're playing better now we don't know it's been going back and forth whether
00:43:15they're a buyer or seller goodman i think that's a big long shot and ryan as well the twins they're
00:43:22they're not out of it right they've played pretty well not just against the yankees but overall
00:43:26waka who's having a terrific season leads in innings pitch in the american league uh potentially there but
00:43:32they do have an option on him for the following year logan webb that's a long shot too because i
00:43:36mean
00:43:37they've said they want to hold on to him he's got a team friendly deal had a 0.71 era
00:43:42last month
00:43:43that's pretty good era so uh it's a collection of guys about seven guys there uh i think the
00:43:48likelihood is we'll see two three or four of them traded most likely number one on that list it's
00:43:53got to be a rise and the rise is having a great year he's in 326 really improved defensively the
00:43:59players voted him in he definitely deserves it i mean it's one of the bright spots with the giants
00:44:04along with lee and schmidt and eldridge so they do have a few bright spots but he's a free agent
00:44:09after the year he had trouble in free agency shouldn't have trouble now i mean they're going
00:44:13to be teams that are interested depends on you know injuries need different things like that i mean
00:44:18tampa potentially could use a second baseman so uh that to me is a fit but uh he should be
00:44:25traded
00:44:25because they're not in the race do you feel the same about michael waka would you put him in that
00:44:29category as well no because they have an option on him for the following year but yeah i
00:44:34i think there's a decent chance that he could get traded they're not in contention i think they
00:44:39have underperformed i do think that team is better than it's played but realistically right now they
00:44:44are one of the few teams in the american league that does not seem to be in contention i feel
00:44:48like
00:44:48we always when all-star selections come out and d rowe said this earlier we always focus on the
00:44:52positive because we want to give these players their due there are inevitably snubs right that's what i'm
00:44:58here you guys are very positive right to negative town i'm kind of balancing things out yeah my
00:45:05negative uh they're too obvious to me snubs sunny gray is 10 and one with a last place he's got
00:45:12a 261
00:45:13area i get ranger suarez but i mean i and i understand they have two guys on the all-star
00:45:18team in their last place but sunny gray should be on the all-star team i i don't see any
00:45:22reason why
00:45:22he's not and he probably will get added so i'm probably complaining for nothing but that's my
00:45:28job uh the other one to me is zach wheeler i mean he's got a 3.8 boy missed the
00:45:33first month of the
00:45:34year and he has a 3.8 war this is the guy's already eight and one he's two three six
00:45:40for him i mean
00:45:41he's an and the game's in philly i mean we've got a lot of philly people in there obviously harper
00:45:47deserved it and i'm glad that he was headed by the commissioner uh definitely deserved it
00:45:52schwarber you we're gonna have philly people in there but zach wheeler needs to be there i agree
00:45:57now you're making me feel negative i'm holding out hope that those guys will hear their names
00:46:02called you'll never be in my category i think you might be right you're the best on the inside
00:46:09corner robert take it away hey coming up in hour number two of mlb central we're going to be joined
00:46:15by
00:46:15joan duran of the philadelphia phillies he's the reliever of the month he's set to go to the all-star
00:46:21game in his home ballpark we'll ask him about that and what's it like closing games for that pitching
00:46:26staff that's all ahead on the other side joan duran is in the ball game for the phills they've got
00:46:35their closer one of the best in all of baseball strike three got it looking swing and a miss joan
00:46:42duran
00:46:43with the score this ninth inning and duran picks up the same swing and a miss he struck him out
00:46:48and you know that duran is there to close out a game when you take the lead it is a
00:46:53show and you
00:46:53want to watch it swing and a miss he got him and the ball game is over one of the
00:46:58big differences
00:46:59you got that guy to lean on joan duran was the reliever of the month of june in the national
00:47:07league
00:47:08and why not look at what he did in the month of june the era of 1.64 opponents ops
00:47:14was just
00:47:15at 220 and what a great way to begin our number two of mlb central we're joined by joan duran

00:49:56game
00:49:56you know because they they want to save me for later uh but like uh if i got uh the
00:50:03opportunity to
00:50:04be in the game i want to be there you know so yep hey johan um i've been seeing some
00:50:10stuff
00:50:10on social media where bryce harper and i want to see him do the home run derby in his home
00:50:14ballpark
00:50:15he's looking for a bp pitcher that he can trust do you think you could sub in and serve up
00:50:22a few
00:50:22bombs for bryce i i don't know man because i i'm not really good when i throw the ball slow
00:50:28you know
00:50:30you only know one speed that's right hey i got a question for you i got a question for if
00:50:35you're
00:50:35closing the door i think i know the answer but what do you want to punch punch a guy out
00:50:41with is
00:50:41it is it a top rail heater do you like the splinker or walk me through because i see you
00:50:47do the hop off
00:50:48the mound every once in a while like it's nasty yeah uh it's hard that is a that's really good
00:50:56question
00:50:56you know uh because i maybe say with my fastball you know when i throw my fireball top of the
00:51:03sun

00:51:08for me and
00:51:09my and my personality uh answer you know yeah so many guys say they hate standing in the box against
00:51:17you who do you hate facing the most in the big leagues give me one hitter oh let me think
00:51:28uh um i maybe say uh otani uh because he yeah he really good hitter and if you miss
00:51:40the pitch they know get they don't give it to you the chance you know they take it so he
00:51:46really good

00:55:08uh they've got
00:55:09an afternoon game in kansas city because they took a game a day off because of the world cup soccer
00:55:15right across the street at arrowhead so that's why they're playing monday to wrap up that series
00:55:20our number two of mlb central is just underway we've got more come on back
00:55:39and now salvey chance to do some damage and give the royals a cushion so a big at bat for
00:55:44the royals captain who swings and busts it toward the left field corner that's all the way to the
00:55:50corner salvador perez worked himself into a hitters count he got a 3-1 pitch to pull and he roped
00:55:57it
00:55:58down the left field line into the corner the royals take advantage of the two walks now have a 5
00:56:04-2 lead
00:56:06it is monday let's have a day an afternoon game on a monday where do we sign but wait there's
00:56:12more
00:56:12there's a bonus christopher sanchez on the mound in kansas city fresh off his all-star bid and perhaps
00:56:18after this start and one more you may see him representing his league on the big stage with a
00:56:23greater honor we will see first task is to get the pills closer to the braves in the standings despite
00:56:29the cubs having a nice week and the brewers showing no signs of weakness winning two of three in arizona
00:56:34their lead in the central remains steady at six games a one-run win over arizona on sunday and now
00:56:41it's to st louis and meeting them there is dustin may he will look to reverse his fortunes after
00:56:46leaving that last start due to an ankle injury hoping for health for him and the yankees have
00:56:51fallen back in the east partly because they've lost nine of ten doesn't help their case the rays
00:56:56won eight of ten during that stretch tampa bay killing the game recently an mlb best 31 and 12
00:57:03at home and ken schlittler tonight gets the ball for the yankees in st petersburg can't wait
00:57:09well the race for the final wild card spot in the american league is well wild coming up we're
00:57:15going to examine the contenders and who has the inside track for october is there a chance that
00:57:20there's some pretenders thrown into the lot as well we'll discuss
00:57:31we are back on mlb central and we are going to dc home sweet home ballpark cam in our nation's
00:57:38capital where the pirates took it to the nationals 11 runs for the pirates on sunday they've scored
00:57:44double digit runs in eight of nine and attention must be paid the nationals
00:57:48get the astros which will be an interesting series starting today as we welcome you back inside say
00:57:56good morning to a lighter dero's not here somewhere in the greatest house not that i'm disappointed but a
00:58:01little bit dero i'm sorry how are you doing hey i'd be right there as well man brooksy doing all
00:58:08right
00:58:10brooksy's doing good we got big game today gonna face a big arm 90 92
00:58:15while you're there we will not steal anything in your place but we do want to talk about
00:58:18what happened either in our nation's capital the middle weekend what stood out to you what were you
00:58:24watching all right so i woke up i grabbed a cup of joe on july 4th and there's an 11
00:58:29a.m game
00:58:30it was nats buckos okay and the first thing that you know my love affair with connor griffin love
00:58:38i didn't know he turned into tj watt he is huge he is absolute monster just creating havoc all over
00:58:48the field and what's crazy is he's just come back from the i.l where he had a little forearm
00:58:53strain
00:58:53this is like his second third and fourth game back he's so impactful great and he just turned 20.
00:59:00we're trying to figure this out on the fly in the big leagues this is what lauren like
00:59:07guys this is a handful of guys who can impact the game the way he's capable of doing i can't
00:59:14wait to
00:59:14watch where his career goes he is going to be an absolute face of the game well i love because
00:59:20guys every conversation i ask you when i'm talking about the draft i say who you take and you say
00:59:25connor griffin can we give some love to luis garcia please this guy's got 19 bombs he's hitting
00:59:35282 with 64 rbi is going into the break since late may he has been the most impactful hitter in
00:59:45the
00:59:45big leagues and i was he's got his 779 ops there was there was a lot to like in this
00:59:51like little series i thought brian reynolds the i i love the way he plays so fundamentally sound
00:59:57baseball hitting some bombs but also doing the little things for the pirates so
01:00:03yeah i was i was fixated on that game before we hit the lake and went to it before you
01:00:08did i was
01:00:08talking with seth in research about louise because he has another year of control so we're talking about
01:00:12pieces that could move from dc that seems like a piece not that i want to give anyone up but
01:00:20i
01:00:20didn't drill down on him much until i knew you were going to talk about him he's got a little
01:00:24ruben
01:00:25sierra in him the fact that he's with the leg kick but watching his ability to go line to line
01:00:31i know
01:00:31he's got i mean 109 108 off of feel off the bat hits the ball i mean his last 15
01:00:37games got 10 10 home
01:00:38runs but it's even less than that dro i've watched a lot of his abs it's it's literally left field
01:00:44line to right field line he doesn't walk a lot but he can mash yeah and the point about maybe
01:00:49moving
01:00:50him the problem is they're they're only three back i'm not moving on the final wild card spot so
01:00:56real quick real quick that saturday game the buckos get first and third to do like a double steel and
01:01:04connor steal home and you know a lot went into them scoring a run and then braxton ashcraft goes out
01:01:10throws the first pitch to dame james woods and he goes third deck tie ball game just like that
01:01:15then that's handsome they have a lot of runs it's just all about run prevention for them
01:01:20gero earlier we showed a graphic where chris sale and all the other national league pitchers that made
01:01:28the all-star game and it's first appearance second appearance third appearance chris sale stood out
01:01:33because this is his tent well you're looking at like sitting next to you was one of the best left
01:01:40handers of my generation right and then kind of yeah watching chris sale no al that's true no that's
01:01:47i see thank you watching chris sale his velo's up when he got traded over to the atlanta braves it
01:01:56was
01:01:56like a risky gamble with alex anthopolis he took on the money he gave up on grissom like there i
01:02:04mean
01:02:05i'm sure boston kicked in some hard cash i don't i don't know the exact specifics of it but i
01:02:10don't think
01:02:12the braves thought they were getting a better version of the early version of chris sale i mean he is
01:02:19on
01:02:19the hall of fame trajectory yes and he is absolute win day for the braves their starting rotation has been
01:02:26decimated by injuries they're gonna have to make a move at the deadline and he he is struck out north
01:02:33of 500 hitters with three different organizations only the 10th player to do that the cap the chris sale
01:02:41when you look at hall of fame candidacy with pitchers what matters to you is longevity is it peak what
01:02:47do
01:02:47you look at first it's a great question because where we are now we're not going to see a 300
01:02:52game
01:02:52winner we're not going to see the 3 000 innings necessarily 3 000 strikeouts i know guys strike
01:02:58out more you know when i looked at his numbers and i know we're talking about hall of fame highway
01:03:01he does have a cy young award only a couple years ago d-ro to your point a couple years
01:03:06ago cy young
01:03:06award after all of the white socks and red socks and injuries what i think alex anthopolis identified was
01:03:13here his delivery is so funky and so unorthodox you would look at it and go if he doesn't go
01:03:19back to
01:03:19throw in upper 90s this is still a tough a b certainly against left-handed batters uh lauren
01:03:25it's hard for me because i'm a body of work guy and i think that the new the voters now
01:03:30are going to
01:03:31look at at at dominance within windows you know the ala sandy koufax you know was he dominant for
01:03:37seven years kind of thing because his body of work for me doesn't say hall of favor but i'm i'm
01:03:42still
01:03:42stuck in the 80s and 70s as he already his lifetime era is below three and phenomenal and if you
01:03:49take
01:03:49row flow you take his seven peak years yeah he's a hall of famer and i think that's where we're
01:03:54going
01:03:54d-ro you know when i look at it you know i just wonder al if he dreamed when he
01:04:00came over to atlanta
01:04:02that he was going to be better that's a great question early version of himself but it was a health
01:04:07thing right and then also the moxie you know this d-ro as we look at your one two three
01:04:12four five
01:04:13six seven one you have nine teams how many teams you play for eight eight you know as you get
01:04:17past
01:04:17and you become the prospect and a big leaguer and then you go to the cubs and cleveland you're a
01:04:22better
01:04:22player as you get along based on the mind and the and the physical so but his beat his velo
01:04:28is like
01:04:29boston kicked in boston kicked in 17 million dollars to complete the steal think about that yeah
01:04:36vaughn grissom hasn't materialized he's moved on to the angel still hasn't materialized and chris sale
01:04:41is uh you know fighting for cy young's real quick his comp if you look at whole of fame comp
01:04:47johan
01:04:47santana okay and david price i mean that's what if you do the baseball reference cop so they're similar
01:04:54as far as where he is in his career right now okay wow it's interesting i know you want to
01:04:59talk about
01:04:59the al wild card and how there's basically only two or three teams that are really potential sellers
01:05:05yeah and everyone kind of i think detroit has got i lauren knows how i feel about aj hinch and
01:05:12their
01:05:12team and it'd be tough to thread the needle here i i do think you got to move on from
01:05:17tarik scuble
01:05:19because you're proving you're not going to pay him right so you got you can't set your organization
01:05:24back so leave them off to the side you want to focus on the red sox real quick well so
01:05:30so thank you but
01:05:31i you know you're looking at this and you're saying wait a minute we we're even gonna in the war
01:05:36room
01:05:36for the tigers just for half a second because i'm with you if i'm the tigers and i can get
01:05:40a haul
01:05:41a juan soto light kind of haul or something significant with top prospects and future stars
01:05:46they're 10 games under 500 but as we say this they're five games back that's the beauty or not of
01:05:52of
01:05:53having 12 teams make the playoffs right so look at what garrick brochet brought back for the white
01:05:57socks they got three big league starters thank you the great example great example so now i start
01:06:03looking at all along like red sox like okay no in the division forget it but wait a minute they're
01:06:08four games back yeah most of red sox they sell out every day that way i don't know do we
01:06:13do we play
01:06:14that game out does crochet get back in time before the the uh trade deadline and all of these teams
01:06:20i want to also circle right here joe ryan they're a game and a half back of of all-star
01:06:25guys this isn't a
01:06:26snapshot of saying hey this is an aberration and get guys healthy we are more than halfway through
01:06:31the year we're almost 90 games in this is your team unless you have significant injury or you're
01:06:37a club that says we're going to go add to our biggest weakness i'm looking at six seven teams that
01:06:42are in it if we play that let's just get in and get hot this is right here you're absolutely
01:06:49right but
01:06:49do you play that game do you always talk about honest evaluator so if you're baltimore the a's in
01:06:55boston and you're in their front office what are you thinking right now
01:07:00yeah i think i i think you gotta listen i think you gotta hold pat certain teams gotta hold pat
01:07:07because i don't think you're necessarily gonna get like baltimore and the a's like what what are you
01:07:13trying to accomplish there where are you going i think the a's are building towards 28 and going into
01:07:17vegas they need starters right i i look at a team like the minnesota twins i want to focus on
01:07:23them
01:07:23because you look at their lineup and what they did over the weekend i know new york's floundering
01:07:30but they have a three-run bomb kind of everywhere in their lineup josh bell can shoot you yeah cody
01:07:36clemens has proven he can shoot brooks lee royce lewis can shoot you yeah they can put joe ryan on
01:07:44the
01:07:44bump that can punch tickets they can put taj bradley on the bump that can punch tickets when you look
01:07:49at
01:07:50them they're glaring weakness they need to go out and get some pen help i mean this is a team
01:07:54that
01:07:54lost their ace and was the biggest seller at the deadline last year joe ryan had 23 called strikes
01:08:01yesterday that's the most in his career he is the most one of the best starters in the american league
01:08:07he is and smooth lunch you get on the mound with him and they're going to get ryan jeffers potentially
01:08:13back i think they're going to get bailey over back you know they're an interesting team i think you
01:08:18fight the fight you pick up a few bullpen pieces and see where you're at do you look during the
01:08:23division that we're talking about the tigers likely uh trading school do you believe in cleveland
01:08:29do you believe in the white socks i mean they've got yes yeah yes okay so but but the twins
01:08:35as you just
01:08:36alluded to this is a better offensive lineup than i ever really dug into i'm with you and you keep
01:08:40buxton healthy i know he had the uh they had hip this over the weekend but this is a potent
01:08:45offense
01:08:46you nailed it i mean what josh bell did yesterday up for ryan uh weathers i mean it looked like
01:08:50it was
01:08:51an excuse me swing i know it's yankee stadium but that was by design you know he's he's a he's
01:08:56a force
01:08:57in the line i don't know if you mentioned brooks lee but that guy's gonna be a star yeah so
01:09:01it could
01:09:02be a day-by-day situation it could be whichever team makes the savviest or best moves at the deadline
01:09:08in the american league that determine which teams ultimately get in and are left at home in the
01:09:14postseason all right let's take a quick time out we're playing worried or whatever next including
01:09:20is it time to worry about the yankees and what about hunter green's season debut over the weekend
01:09:28we're tackling those two topics and others on the other side stay with us
01:09:47there's so much to discuss on a monday i need your attention and your opinion i'll just sat up straight
01:09:52so we are we are focused and we are ready to go you are either worried about what i'm talking
01:09:57about
01:09:58or it is or it is whatever are you ready yes i am live in new york city so yankee
01:10:06fans are very
01:10:09judgy
01:10:11worried but that works as well opinionated yes
01:10:15al the yanks are 3-12 over their past 15 games getting outscored 86 to 41 in that span are
01:10:22you
01:10:22worried or whatever and some floppy play and some errors yeah i'm worried i mean to say you're not
01:10:26worried with uh with what you just alluded to 3 and 12. um but with that said it's the yankees
01:10:34and every single year whether they're in first place by 10 or they're fighting for a wild card
01:10:39this is an organization from ownership to brian cashman they'll figure out what they need but is
01:10:45there enough to be worried about absolutely and part of it what is i i know they're the new york
01:10:50yankees
01:10:51and judge is an aircraft carrier we talk about it all the time when he was in the lineup ben
01:10:55rice
01:10:55was uh mvp have an mvp season that's fallen off a bit bellinger's been streaky and uh i know gold
01:11:02smith kind of carried him for a bit look at this guys i mean it doesn't get any harder than
01:11:07this right
01:11:07here you got four they're four games back of the race i know it's the all-star break and we're
01:11:12about
01:11:1290 games into the season but you know if the race let's play along because they got the best home
01:11:18record they would they sweep us around their top their eight games back i know it's still a long
01:11:22season zero i know that but if we look at that that that schedule up until the trade deadline it's
01:11:28the
01:11:28most difficult schedule for any team i'm going to say whatever okay give it to me
01:11:36he's feeling positive he's feeling good uh dero i can tell you that's not how you hold the guitar
01:11:44i had to get it in the shop okay oh okay you know it's a ukulele
01:11:52the only thing i'm worried about is judge okay judge has covered up
01:11:59roster construction potential flaws for the longest time right so when he's not in there
01:12:06you start to see people try and play above their pay grade and get away from them a little bit
01:12:11i
01:12:12still think listen they're all kicking the baseball around but they got to clean up the defense that
01:12:18that's been the biggest problem but if you go into the postseason and cole's firing and max
01:12:24freed's firing and cam schlittler's firing and judges back in the lineup then i sleep good at night
01:12:31i think that's the bottom line for me so i'm not i'm not going to panic all right no no
01:12:35time
01:12:36now we're not panicking but you got to be a little concerned how about if it said concern
01:12:41well that's not the name of the center because i don't know i don't have a timeline on the best
01:12:47hitter in the game all right here's some good news max freed closer to returning through a bullpen
01:12:51session on friday real quick worried the defense 29 unearned runs given up in the last 15 games
01:12:58that's the part that worries yeah i mean it's sloppy like you've got you're better than that aside
01:13:02from judge i just gotta think you guys do this every year they get like it's like a little boone
01:13:08swoon right and then that's a tape that is a tape to the national league west attention on america's
01:13:14most beautiful team can i say that to the padres we go worried or whatever they've managed to salvage
01:13:19a game in their four game weekend series against the dodgers they're two and eight in their last
01:13:24ten zero worried or whatever yeah i'm worried here well we're not looking at the nl west right now that's
01:13:30i'm worried because the the big boys haven't gotten going all year from manny to tatis on down the line
01:13:38they need some bats in that lineup um i love their bullpen but can you overtax them to the point
01:13:46where
01:13:47if you do sneak in are they burnt out so yeah the pods the pods first night manager craig steaman
01:13:54there's a there's a lot on the line here i'm a little i'm a little concerned with with the pod
01:13:59worried
01:14:00for me for the reasons he just mentioned they do have the diamondbacks and the blue jays coming up
01:14:04how would you sum up there and again we're 90 games in and and you're right they're superstars can
01:14:09you say the machado and and bogarts and and um tatis and those but here's the reality they're 30th
01:14:17in baseball which is last in runs per game they're second to last in baseball on on base
01:14:22and they're last in average in baseball like this isn't like we're two weeks in with three weeks
01:14:28in oh this guy's a little banged up like if you're not worried about this team i don't i don't
01:14:32i'm not sure what team yeah worried worried because of the offense i mean did a.j preller
01:14:38flip the script because he's got he could totally you never know that's why we love him he's
01:14:44unpredictable he just asked a question you know the answer to could he he could you know he could
01:14:49you know he could what do the brewers want to do they lead the central by six games are you
01:14:54worried
01:14:54or whatever about their pitching depth we just learned the brewers place brandon woodruff on the 15 day
01:14:59i yell right shoulder inflammation their staff has been a strength worried or whatever right now for
01:15:06the team at the top of the nl central i'm going to say whatever because i don't believe in the
01:15:11winter
01:15:11time that they were like oh boy we have to have brendan woodruff back in order to do what we
01:15:18did last
01:15:18year and mizerasky is just that good kyle harrison by the way guys excellent san francisco to boston
01:15:25caleb durbin right for in the trade like that that's unbelievable i mean what's my numbers here
01:15:30what is he to do something here right like he's been a dude so you went with brandon woodruff back
01:15:36absolutely coming off injury i figured i would have to slow play it and i hope he comes back obviously
01:15:41so whatever for you yes all right yes i'm going to take out the ukulele again because i agree 100
01:15:48percent without get it oh yeah slap at the base yeah there you go all right at no point was
01:15:55pat murphy
01:15:56and the brew crew counting on brandon woodruff to be a dude for them you can't go into the season
01:16:03with
01:16:03that kind of expectation i think if anything this expedites them at the trade deadline to be go get
01:16:11terrick scuba milwaukee milwaukee go get terrick scuba get somebody and really end this thing
01:16:16whatever so they'll figure it out okay they'll figure it out best era in baseball and we'll
01:16:21at least get logan james yes all right worried or whatever hunter green's debut he's a stud we saw him
01:16:27last year in the postseason in the wild card series against the dodgers allowed eight runs
01:16:31over three and a third did have seven strikeouts so some goodies some he's still working through
01:16:36worried or whatever about you what you saw from him i'm gonna say whatever but i'm worried
01:16:40about he threw uh what he threw 100 pitches how many i should know off that he threw one split
01:16:46finger now look i i know he throws 100 and it might be the second highest average velocity although
01:16:52maybe chase burns is now to jason mizraski you gotta you gotta have two secondary pitches i don't care
01:17:00well i should say mizraski doesn't but very few major leaguers i hear it all the time oh you can
01:17:06hit
01:17:06a speeding bullet hitters can hit a speeding bullet fastball slider that the home run we just showed
01:17:11that was a kind of a spinner you know cement mixer d-roll i i for me if i was
01:17:16the pitching coach there
01:17:17i said i know you don't have confidence in it i need for you to throw 12 change-ups somewhere
01:17:21to just give them another look hey i relent to you i agree with you 100 give it to me
01:17:29whatever on it
01:17:31let him get loose he was dominant in his rehab starts the velo is there he punched out seven
01:17:38give him a chance to get loose nick lodolo has been good for this the pitching is not the problem
01:17:43in
01:17:44cincinnati you're right this guy spends the weekend at the lake and now he's just carefree
01:17:49you're just loving life it's it's whatever for me maybe it's the sunscreen
01:17:54it's whatever the velo as you mentioned the punch outs were there obviously some execution
01:18:00and balls left over the heart of the plate but he'll be fine he the arm is too good all
