00:00And then you mentioned your Guardians there, and I'm a big believer in what they did.
00:04I love what they did.
00:05They pushed all in.
00:06They addressed exactly what they needed to address to make a run at this, including,
00:12I think, getting one of the better pitchers that were available there in Foster Griffin.
00:18But what do you do now with some of these teams that have nothing to play for?
00:22Like the Mets, who are already terrible, you know, fire sale, 22 and 32 on the road,
00:29six worst road record.
00:31Now they got to go into Progressive here and take on a team that's got to be excited to play
00:40now,
00:40because ownership is obviously backing them.
00:44But what could that possibly be like in the Mets locker room right now, Craig?
00:48Horrible.
00:49It's a horrible feeling being in there, seeing everybody traded.
00:52And it's even worse feeling for guys like Polanco and Luis Robert,
00:57who were thinking there by maybe some miracle that we could get out of here.
01:00And now they're stuck there.
01:03That's probably the worst clubhouse going right now in baseball, I would guess.
01:06And I'm not there.
01:07And I don't want to put, you know, point fingers or anything.
01:10But, you know, look, I like Francisco Lindor, okay?
01:15Like, I think he's a great player.
01:17I think he's got a great attitude.
01:18I've always liked him.
01:19I know the Soto stuff came up.
01:21I'm, and I'm not on team anyone, but I definitely like Francisco Lindor.
01:26So I want to make that clear.
01:27But the rest of that squad has got to be feeling awful.
01:30And that's what the problem is that, like, another team that has to be feeling like that, Joe, right now,
01:36and they've already been in a spiral, they're going to keep going.
01:38How are those guys on the A's feeling right now?
01:41They lost a million games and didn't do any, they didn't do anything.
01:45They didn't trade anybody.
01:46How did the A's get out of this deadline without doing a thing?
01:49There was 100 trades yesterday.
01:51So that's another team I wouldn't be surprised to see just slide.
01:55And then, you know, clearly we're going to find out there's a lot of speculation with Tony Vitello,
02:01who is the first-year manager, of course.
02:03It's been well-documented.
02:04He came from college and managed the Giants.
02:07Is he a one-and-done guy, Joe?
02:09I don't know, but we're going to learn a lot about him now with that team that looks like half
02:13the team they had at the start of the season.
02:15So that's another team to keep an eye on as well.
