00:00Mason Miller's shutting people down.
00:02This guy's ridiculous.
00:04I mean, how old is Mason Miller?
00:08How many years?
00:10Because not everyone wants to be a closer,
00:12so they don't kind of accept this role this early.
00:16My guess is he's 33, 32, 33.
00:20No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:22Gabe, he's 27.
00:23Oh, he's 27.
00:25Oh, yeah, he's a little younger than I thought.
00:26Yeah, yeah.
00:26I thought he was a little older.
00:28Because, no, because, Gabe, usually guys that have his kind of stuff.
00:31It's a good point.
00:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:32Right?
00:32You're like, I want to, like, Mason Miller, Gabe, could go down as,
00:37I know you hate when I do this, but it is what it is.
00:39If he stays on the trajectory,
00:40he'll go down as one of the five greatest closers in the history of baseball.
00:43He has to stay on the trajectory.
00:46But.
00:46Yeah.
00:47Yes and no.
00:47That's where we are.
00:49That's where we are.
00:51Like.
00:51Yeah, you know what, though?
00:53My whole deal with closers is.
00:57Is, has he ever done, is he doing it in, like, big games?
01:01You know what I mean?
01:02See, I actually wouldn't agree with that with a closer.
01:04I think every game's big if you're a closer.
01:06It's always the same.
01:07Like, I'm just saying, no, but, but there's a difference if you're on a crappy team.
01:10If not.
01:11There's not the same pressure.
01:13Like, put it this way.
01:14Like, he could have better numbers than Mariano Rivera, but is he Mariano Rivera?
01:18Like, did you do it in a little series on a, like, different?
01:21You know what I mean?
01:21I mean, like, that's my whole point.
01:24Joe Lisi used to do that to me.
01:26I would say Ladd McConkie's good at football.
01:28He goes, so you're saying he's Jamar Chase?
01:30You're saying he's Justin Jefferson?
01:32I go, I'm certainly not.
01:34I'm certainly not doing that.
01:36I wouldn't do that.
01:37Well, you said best ever.
01:37I didn't say best ever, so I was like.
01:39I said top five.
01:40I said one of the best ever top five.
01:42No, he is.
01:43He is.
01:43He is.
01:44He is.
01:45Although, and once again, I always have a butt.
01:47I always have a butt.
01:48But, although, and I'm not, listen, there's no effing way I'm going to die on a hill.
01:54I'm like, there's no way in hell I'm going to die on a hill arguing against a guy that
01:58hasn't, like, given up a single hit this year or whatever.
02:03I'm not going to say, nah, he's overrated.
02:06I can get into LeBron if you want, but I'm not going to get into him.
02:09Right.
02:10His ERA is like a .8.
02:13My only thing I'll say is, I don't know, everybody strikes out now.
02:17Like, baseball's a little different.
02:19Like, the stats are different now.
02:24I am fascinated to see if they trade this kid, man.
02:27I mean, this Padres team is just the most fascinating.
02:30They might be the most interesting team in baseball.
02:33Yeah, I don't know.
02:34I don't believe in trading them personally.
02:36I always say, and they're going to surprise people, and they're going to acquire somebody.
02:40Like, they always surprise people.
02:41They're the only team that enters every deadline, regardless of the record, buyers and sellers.
02:46They will do both.
02:48They don't care.
02:49What are you going to get for Miller, too?
02:54As good as he is, he's a closer.
02:56I saw a pass-in quote that apparently the Padres have said to teams, just to be very clear, don't
03:05tell us someone's off limits.
03:06If you call for Mason Miller, don't go, this guy's off limits.
03:11That's not how they...
03:12So, their thought game...
03:14Yeah, if you want one of the greatest, greatest closers of all time, then you're going to have to pay
03:18for it.
03:19Correct.
03:19Yeah, they don't want to hear...
03:21What's his contract, though?
03:23What's his contract?
03:23He hasn't even hit arbitration, Gabe.
03:25I mean, he's a pup.
03:27He's a pup.
03:28Yeah, he's only in a second deal here, 27 years old.
03:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:33So, you're dealing with club control.
03:35And, I mean, listen, if they put a salary cap in, by the time it would be to pay Mason
03:40Miller, I mean, closers will be making, like, 11 million bucks.
03:45I see this right now, Kevin.
03:47He grew up a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
03:50Uh-oh.
03:51Imagine him and Skeens on the same team.
03:53I got real nervous you were going to say, the L.A. Dodgers.
03:57Oh, what?
03:57The L.A. Dodgers.
03:58This conversation turning from, Mason Miller isn't that good, to he's going to be a Dodger, I was a little...
04:04No, no, no, no.
04:05We got Edwin Diaz.
04:07We're good.
04:07We're good.
04:08Do you?
04:09Do you?
04:11Wait, is Edwin back?
04:13As long as he doesn't get arrested.
04:15For cockfighting.
04:17We should be all right.
04:19Is he healthy?
04:20What is Edwin's deal?
04:23I haven't seen Edwin Diaz.
04:25He's not stolen.
04:26They're going to activate him.
04:29When are they activating this guy?
04:30This is from four hours ago, actually.
04:33Here we go.
04:35The Dodgers just activated him.
04:38There it is.
04:39He's pitching tonight.
04:40Happy Edwin Diaz Day.
04:42There he is.
04:42I told you he's back.
04:43Yeah, yeah.
04:44I'm like, no, I knew he was back.
04:46He worked out with the team the other day, pitched like, and he's been with the team type
04:49thing.
04:50Like, he's been throwing simulated games, blah, blah, and all that type stuff against the
04:54team.
04:55So, yeah, he's back.
04:56Speak of the devil.
04:57Diaz activated today.
04:58He's available tonight for the Dodgers.
05:00He's going to do it for the crackers.
05:00Anyway, I'll just wandering up today.
