1:28Are we going to get this flag copy right if we go too deep into that song? Maybe. As long as we don't do any Adele songs, then we won't get copy right because pretty much I sound exactly like Adele when I sing or songs. So, hello. Right, so no Adele and no Frank Sinatra, or we will be fine for copy right, with Crafts and with Todd Father. Todd, good to see you. I was little league. It was good, man. It was good. Another fun year, another good series between a bunch of states and countries. It's always a fun time, man. It always is. Kira Sal came out on top. They were the best team. They had the best pitching. They were dynamite, dominant, excuse me. Yeah, another fun year and another record-breaking year for some guys too. And little league, there was a lot of records broken this year. It was crazy. Was there one moment, one exchange, one stat, one player, give me something like from

2:34the beginning? I will give you the kid name from Ohio. Hamilton, Ohio has been there six times now. That little league, a kid named Boone Treadway. He actually broke two records of mine. One was the most walks in the little league world series. I had eight or nine, he broke it with 11. He broke our team record. Their team broke our team record in walks too. They lead Williams for, I don't think that'll ever be broken. 11 walks in, I mean, what do you play? Six, seven, eight games, something like that. He was lead off hitter. I think he only got one hit too. It was crazy. Boone Treadway. What a big league name. Treadway. Treadway. Treadway. That's a big league name. Is it different? Was it different for you this year, Todd? Because you were coaching your son's team trying to get to this spot? Definitely, definitely was. You know, you kind of see all the kids, you're like, kind of comparing them a little bit. When my son been out playing against these kids,

3:36most definitely would have. But you know, you got to have the team, you got to have the town, you got to have the right pieces to play the part. We just, you know, we weren't as deserving to go. We lost to the same team twice in the sectionals. We won the districts, but, you know, Baleon from New Jersey put on a really good show and it was fun to have a Jersey team in there. It's been a while, but it was, it was fun times broadcasting them, not trying to be as biased, but, you know, pretty cool to see them do what they did. For sure. Lake Tredway. That sounds like front office, darling too, with the plate discipline already. Front office is really like, look at all the walks, the on base percentage, the OPS possibilities, but good for you, like good series. Way to break some records of Todd Fathers. We love that. All right, let's charge.

4:38The battle for the National League East is on. Crafts, did you think the Phillies were going to be in this place? They have seven still to play against Atlanta. That series is getting going and it's going to be intense because, well, you're kind of shaking your head. You did think they were going to be in this spot. I mean, did you think they were going to be in this spot a month ago when they were barely hanging on to a wild card position at all? I mean, this spot, what is this spot? Like, to me, I think we need to set our grounds of like, what is four games back with seven to play against the same team? Is it real? Like, are they, are they really close? I guess, you know, to play the hype train, yeah, but I just think it's so hard to beat the top teams to make up four games when you're talking about the top teams. We can talk about like, the Cardinals catching the Marlins or something like that. Yeah, you know, I think there's that next tier. So, are they this close? I mean,

5:42did I think these two teams would be the best two teams in National League East? Yes. When they had a 10 game lead, when the Braves had a 10 or 11 game lead earlier in the season, did I think the Phillies were going to catch them? No, I don't think the Phillies have actually caught them. I think they've just made it closer and, you know, water levels out. I would have to agree with him and ultimately, look how many games are left. 22 games, four games. It seems like you can get there and I'm not saying they can't, but the EBS and Flows, they got close one time, kind of fizzled off a little bit. Everything really has to go right for this to happen. I think honestly, the biggest thing is when they play against each other, they have to find a way, not only to win that series, but win it, you know, three to one. Not it can't, it can't be or two to one or three to one, whatever it is in their last final games they have. They need to game two games just to be like, all right. So now we need help. And that's the worst part about the whole thing,

6:45Chris, when you need other teams to help you out and you look back on the end of the year and black man, there was four to six games where we probably should have won those games if it wasn't for this happening or that happening. And there's always a handful where you can look back and say, don't we're up for in the ninth inning, what happened or, you know, just to give an example. Graves of one five of six in the series so far this season, it starts on Friday by the way. And the pitching is lined up really nicely. It's going to be fun. The matchups are good, sale against Sanchez to kick off the series on Friday. I mean, you're going to put your big boys out there. So, hey, we're just saying, is there a chance that the Phillies continue this? They were just 21 and seven in August? Yes. Best record in the month of August. How far can you carry momentum like that? We'll see. I mean, this is the series, right? Crats, they take three out of four. We start to talk about the possibilities. Yeah, call me call me Monday. Yeah, but all the

7:49Monday they play again, it's a wrap around. I know it's a four game wrap around, Joan. There's there's schedule. I mean, you see Atlanta's finishing schedule, who they play? I mean, there are no slouches. So this is something. I mean, yeah, I agreed, but oh, man, I got washing in. They got the meth in there. Oh, man, every 10 to play and, you know, it's going to be very interesting. It's going to be very interesting.

Okay, I'm going to read it, keep it up there just so I can tell the podcast crowd because we're at the point where you can go through a schedule. It takes 20 seconds. That's how many games are left. So after this Philly's Brave series, the Braves are home against the Reyes and then they welcome in the Philly's again, that will end the season series with Philly at that point.

9:57Then they hit the road to the Cubs and the Ashros and then they're back home for three against the Reds and then they hit the road for three against the Marlins. Marlins are usually pesky at the end of a season two. They're into that. And then for the Philly's, we can show you what they have going on to to compare and contrast after they play Atlanta. There's a lot of similarities here. I mean, they're home hosting Houston. Then they've got that Atlanta series again, right? So we've talked about that sandwiching the Houston series with the Philly's and the Braves. Then the Philly's are in DC. Then they're in Queens against the Met and they finish all home against good teams, but teams that could be prepping for the playoffs. That's Milwaukee and Tampa Bay. Now when I say prepping for the playoffs, yes, maybe your foot is a drop off the pedal, but if you're Milwaukee and Tampa Bay, those are the last competitive games that you're going to play for a bit. Those are two teams in the Bay. So just throwing all of that out there when you look at it, you feel like there's much

11:00chauvin edge for one side or the other technically by strength of schedule. The Braves have it a little bit tougher. It's a top five toughest schedule down the stretch. Then Philadelphia. I mean, Philly has the the Nats in the Met's in there. And I mean, the Met's are playing better lately. The Nats are not. So there's an opportunity here. That's all. There's an opportunity, but it happens exactly like Todd said, this series. I'm not saying like it has to be must win game one, but you can't say, yeah, we got four games set. You know, if we could split this, you know, no, that's why the Braves four game lead is such a massive lead. It's such a it's so tough to take three or four from a first place team that has beaten you five of six times this year. I think it's so tough even with I mean, the four starters, the edge for the Bra for the Phillies is definitely with the starting rotation. Nothing against Tyler Malley, what he's done. Martin Perez has had really,

12:05really good starts. Bryce Elder has had his moments when Chris sales probably the runner-up, Sy Young, the board winner in the National League, but to go Christopher Sanchez, Zach Wheeler, Aaron Nola, and Jesus Lazardo, you're honestly right now in their last five to seven starts, depending on who I selectively choose. Christopher Sanchez and Zach Wheeler are the two worst pictures of those four recently. Lazardo's been lights out. Nola has his last five starts have been like vintage Nola. So you have to come out and beat this team a tough part for the Phillies is. Even if you get to those starters, that bullpen is suffocating. Agreed. And there's seven games. These two teams got to play seven games. Philly in order to be into this, they have to go five into in those games. Half of it. And I don't know if they can. It's going to be very critical.

13:06Four and three, you gain one game. You know what I mean? Yes. I would say a five and two to make it okay. Here we go. Like this is going to be awesome to watch. So and yes, four games in a row starts now. So put your best foot forward. This is fucking up. This is where baseball becomes really fun. I think this is I think this is also like what is each team focusing on? The Braves are a game back. I think either gamer game and a half back of the Dodgers. This is a team that plays every single one of their starting position players. Every game that they're healthy. I mean, Blake Drake Baldwin hasn't played every game this year because he was hurt. But when he's been when he's been healthy, he's out there, D.H. and catching, whatever it is. Like these guys play every single day. I think they're focused on catching the Dodgers. And sometimes when you focus on something that's out of your control, something that's not what's right in front of you, then you miss out on that.

14:10And so if the Braves say we got to catch the Dodgers, we're catching them. What are the Dodgers doing? All of a sudden the Phillies are going to be like swoop in there and take a few follow them. So you got to keep your focus on the right things at this time of year. So after sale against Sanchez, martin prez faces Zach Wheeler. Prez actually has the edge in ERA. I know there's plenty of other stats that I sect. Sale as the edge in ERA over Sanchez. But Prez on Saturday, 305 ERA Wheeler had that hiccup for a bit. And then the bounce back. But he's at the 3-3-1 on the season. Then it's Tyler Mollie who's been much better with Atlanta than he was before going up against NOLA. That should actually be an advantage. Braves pitching matchup. And then on Monday, elder faces, Lazardo. And that should be advantage Phillies. Lazardo has been ridiculous. We're going to talk more about the Phillies too. We have Tom McCarthy joining us on the show soon. So that's your series. It's going to be fun. Buckle up. Erichratz lives in Pennsylvania. So he gets last word.

15:12All I got to say is the Phillies new approach of not striking out as much will be very interesting to see how they face this entire Braves pitching staff. Bullpen and starters. Oh, they yeah. Oh, my shirt. Bryce Harper animated shirt. Very good. The Phillies required Luis Arise. He hasn't been great with them. But they also just acquired his aura. And they're making more contact striking out less. Bryce Harper's on fire too, by the way. Oh, they're pretty. We got new animated shirt. You're looking at some of them. Tristan Peters who comes from Banana Ball. Hence the banana on their Pitalonzo and their crap from Baltimore. This is a personal favorite. The magician. I love the nickname for Esmeralyn Baldes. So new animated shirts. FoutaireTorch.com. There's a Jackson Marrow one. Crats is wearing the OG Bryce Harper animated shirt. I've got the Ben O'Rose Cunpoio. Ben Rice. Boom. There it is. And chicken with chicken. Just Bryce Harper just

16:18giving them this one with the with the Permabird to Permabird. I want to see players make their own shirts too. I think that would be a cool one where they're like, I want a little input on this. I think this is I think this is legit. I like that. I like that. I roast one. Crats you have a little piece of paper anywhere around the house. You just write it down and then drop it into the suggestion box. To the comment box. Because there's definitely some artistic players that could definitely create their own like thoughts. Draw it? No. But think of hey, something that I connect with. Yes. And then we can make that happen. I like the idea. While we're on the topic of players, Todd Fother, stat, name, pronunciation, whatever kind of change from the top of the show on a future major league player. Yeah, I said Blake Treadway. It was Boone. His name is Boone Treadway. Even better name. Wow. The name that you will want to remember. Boone

17:19Treadway. I thought you said Boone. I thought you said Boone. He might have said it once and then it might have transitioned to Blake and in fairness, Todd. There's a Blake Frazier. That's that's true. And then you kept saying, why are you always stuck with Blake? One time Blake. I just ran with it. All good. Boone. Big league name. Not only a good ball player, even a good person too. Were you the person when you were in the little league time? When you get interviews? Were you like, yeah, I just like to play and my team is fun and have any jolly ranchers? No, I was jolly, man. I would answer with full sentences. They might not been the longest like I do now, but they were fine. I learned it. But you liked it. You liked the limelight. You had fun with it. Love it. Love it. Yeah. It was it was good times there. Tom. At corner time, the Miz actually gave up a career high five earned runs. His team still won.

18:24But the slippery mound issues continue for the Miz, right? He finishes in a different spot from everyone else. So let's get his thoughts post game on what he thought happened. And for us to dissect, could this be a problem in the playoffs where everyone will start talking about it and it's mound gate. Here's Miz. You know, I mean, did feel wonderful. Did it feel great? You know, obviously the felt soggy the whole time, you know, whether played a factor in that, so lost grip, but you know, had to make it work. Can you explain the challenge of that when the mound gets soft when it's wet and that leg starts to slip? How difficult it is to feel comfortable? Yeah. I mean, you start second guessing everything, you know, start trying to make pitches too big and, you know, it's chart trying to make things too spot on. So, you know, start leaking places and, you know, you got to calm yourself down and figure out a way to get through it. Miz, this seems like something that has come up now your last couple of road starts. And we saw you throw a ball pen on the actual mound, not fun. Is there

19:27anything else you're able to do? Yeah, I mean, there's a lot we can do. You know, there's stuff that I can't tell you guys and I really don't want to with that fact. But, no, I mean, our guys over here are trying their best and trying to make everything come out the best back in better. So it's fun. Well, they're having fun in Milwaukee. That's a loud clubhouse. Usually it's kind of quiet when the media is in there and it sounded like someone was having a doozy of a conversation about something in life. But I digress, crats, if you're the Miz's catcher, what do you have for me here? I mean, I'm the Miz's catcher. I'm trying to pump this guy up. I'm trying to make him feel as good as he can every day no matter where he's at. But the reality is, I don't think like the more this comes to light, the more that this is like a thing. We talked about the other day. Like, when he goes into wherever they're going to go into, do you think the, do you think Majority Baseball is going to go to the Dodger Stadium grounds crew and go, hey, you guys need to add one more

20:35foot of clay in the landing area. They're like, what? Why would we have to change our field to, you know, help or enable another pitcher? So I think this is something that for him, for Huki, his pitching coach, they have to figure out what it takes. Sometimes, you know, the conditions make you make adjustments and he's going to have to do that because unless he's pitching in Milwaukee, clearly he's slipping wherever he's going.

Like people get sweaty feet, and it can leak into your cleats and all of anything else. I mean, I don't know. I mean, is there anything else they've thought of? Because it's just it's weird. It's a weird situation. I'm not saying it's not the dirt. I'm not saying they can't fix it either, but maybe it's the cleat. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe where he's landing all of a sudden, the cleats not there. I mean, people are like, oh, you're crazy. This and that. But there's been crazy or thing. So have they had conversations about that? And also, you know, if it doesn't get fixed, they got to find a way.

23:40Because and if he's the only one, then we got a big problem. I don't know what's going on. I mean, he clearly is the best pitcher in the national league this year. He's going to win the Saiyong unless something crazy happens. And to me, I think if you're a freak among freaks, like, majorly baseball's the best players in the world. And he's the best pitcher right now. And he's doing something that's out of the boundaries of what, you know, were used to it, far as a pitcher. Like if you if you were somebody that really steps way cross body and the other pitcher creates a hole, that is like right where your foot's going to be kind of landing. But you're, you know, it kind of rolls your ankle. You would make the adjustment. So he has to make the adjustments somehow. I doubt it's his sweaty socks. But what you said before Todd, I could 100% get behind when you're playing like the Premier League. If the field isn't soak and wet, they wear different types of cleats. If it's soak and wet because they they wet the field and

24:43soccer like excessively, they put in huge long studs to be able to get better grip and they like playing on a wet field. Maybe there's a different cleat. Like you said, that he could start using. Because when he's slipping like that, it's clearly not just physically making his pitches, not be able to be executed as perfectly as he feels like he can. But it's also what he said, mentally, you're like, I'm kind of second guessing. Am I going to slip? Do I know where this is going to be? So yeah, I'm sure I'm sure they're trying a bunch of different stuff. Yeah. For sure. Well, they have a month to figure it out. That's the important part from Milwaukee. They're they're not playing for nothing, right? They're, but the division's over. Okay. Cut over done. Done. Seeding matters. You need to maintain what you've got. Ideally, you'd like to have the number one seed. But you need to figure out what's going on here. Because if what we saw yesterday

25:48happens in October, it could be the difference of the Brewers advancing in a playoff round. I mean, this is their guy. And you can't it can't be the excuse. It can't be the excuse. It would be like a team going into the first round of playoffs and saying we steal more bases than any other team. It is the most elite stolen base team of all time. You know what the team that you're playing is going to do? They're going to have that track so wet. It is going to be so wet running the bases that it's going to slow you down. Whoa, man. It was so wet. How are we supposed to how are we supposed to steal bases? Like, oh, I'm slipping on every pitch. How am I supposed to pitch my best? And look, he's slipping at a lot of these places. And he's still going to win the Sai Young. So he is a freak. It's not that he's not good enough to get through it. It's when you're in the playoffs. You can't allow you can't you can't give any advantage to the other team to diminish your super

26:53powers. And right now, I think the Milwaukee Brewers, even though they score more runs than anybody in the league, win or lose on Jagam Mizorowski's back. I have a tactical question for you guys. And this is going to sound a little bit dirty, but I just want to throw it out there. How much does the ground screw impact all of this? Right? Like, you can obviously call for the ground screw to help you out, but you know how some ground screws will set up the infield a certain way for a team that likes to bond or a team that wants a hotter infield and hotter as in the ground balls will fly. Does any of this apply to a mound when we get to the playoffs? Is there a conversation that says, hey, you can't rig anything. But they're like, hey, let's make the mound this way because we got the Miz coming and he slipped. I don't think so. Oh, really? Ty, was your first year, the only thing I agree with is in front of home plate, they wet

27:59in that thing like nobody's business on a sinker ball or something like that. Other than that, they're not going to they're not going to tip toe with the mound. I think that's bush league in my opinion. Really? Why? Because they're trying to get another advantage and all of a sudden somebody slips and actually hurts themselves. I don't think that would be very smart. No, I'm not saying they're not they're not tinkering with it. They're not doing anything that's like they're just not doing the extra from what I've heard the ground screw Milwaukee adds extra clay when I say extra clay, they just take it out farther so that he has a solid place to land. Now when he's going into other places, you see you see the ground screw come out. I think it's been the one game. It was two or three times the ground screw came out in I want to say Oakland, but it may have been anaheim. Don't quote me on that. They're extending the clay because the part where he's landing is either too wet or it's not that tacky clay. So why would if he goes into play the Braves? Why would the Braves

29:04take a call from Major League Baseball and be like, hey, Major League Baseball says we're supposed to extend how far we put our clay out there. Like to me, if that I think it definitely is a game'smanship. I don't know if it's bush league or not. They're not they're not like shortening it because they're like, well, the Miz is coming in. So we're going to shorten the clay area. I just don't think they're extending it out. Like, like, for instance, Derek Jeter's last year when we went into play the Yankees, the grass in the infield because Jeter's range was not like it was before. The grass in the infield was like playing on Notre Dame's football field. It was like this long and they were like, well, it's because of all the wear and tear and you would hit a ground ball in there and you like couldn't get a ground ball through the infield because it was so thick. So I think teams would do it. You're saying they were trying to counter Derek Jeter's lack of range at that point. Yes. Yep. And so you're making the tea you're making the field

30:06conducive to exactly what you said. Synchro Baller. Brandon Webb would come in with his massive synchro baller. It was like a puddle in front. Your first hit you would bang hit it right into the dirt. It would go nowhere where, you know, I remember teams on the Astro turf, Minnesota twins, Christian Guzman, he would just go boom and the ball would bounce over the third baseman's head off the turf. I think it is a I think it is fully within the realm and you're asking does it happen? I saw pitching coaches tip groundskeepers very well to manipulate what the field looks like for certain guys starts. Wow. I've never heard of that. That's interesting to me. God bless. And you're like Todd's like, wait, what could I have done? Could I have asked them to to mo to mo third base a little bit longer? Like leave it go a little bit long. Slow the ball down a little

31:09bit for you. Get that get that DRS up a little bit. I always used to mess with the guys when they come in between every three innings. Like, yo, man, you missed a spot here. It'd be like that big. We would have a few. They were screwing you because no, they weren't. I just didn't. I was not good at third. I was okay.

32:13Um, spelling? Well, they are spelled differently, but no. While both are ways to access your home's equity, they're very different. You see, a Helac comes with monthly payments. Boo! While a splotero HCI doesn't, it's essentially a smarter way to access your home's value. You get cash up front, and then you can repurchase your option when you cash settle, refinance or sell. Hurray! Are you going to cheer through this whole explanation? Yes! Excellent. Okay, a Helac has strict income and credit requirements. Boo! Hiss! While an HCI from Splotero is open to people with homes that are worth $200,000 and have a 500 minimum credit score. And there's no income requirement. Haza! Did you say Haza?

First of all, there was a tweet that went viral of somebody who

34:19bought tickets for Dodgers Angels in 2025, and then they were saying they won't buy any more Angels tickets as long as Arty Marina's owner. So one of the ticket reps goes right after the sale with an email to this person and says, hello, Arty is officially sold to team. Please let me know if you'd be interested in attending games in the future. They're working off commission crafts. That's brilliant. That's brilliant. My guy's on the hustle. He is hustling to get some extra sales, but good for that person, whoever sent the email, good for them. They're like, you know what? Hey, you said this. Now the person's like, maybe I will come to a game. I wish the title was ding dong, the witch is gone. Here we go. Come back to the ballpark. Go for it. If you're going to go for it, go for it. Get his attention. Next up, Danny Vieti pointing out the contracts given out the largest ones during Marina's tenure, right? It's not like you never spent, but 426 and a half over 12 years for Trout, Rendon 7245 was a buy-up, who voles 10 240, the Fade, Josh Hamilton 5125 traded 5106 for upton released,

35:22and then some others below $100 million that did not work out too well. A Tory Hunter was fine. And weaver had his moment. CJ Wilson got hurt. That was a while back. Lastly, Joe Pompleyano, who will probably talk to a lot this off season. He's a biz dude, a biz reporter posting about what the Angel Stadium lease looks like. $0 in rent paid annually. $415,000 in net revenue sharing over 30 years. No right to inspect the stadium for upkeep and multiple extension options at no additional cost. Talk about the worst deal of all time. And remember, already Marina got in trouble for trying to bribe like some past mayor who got in trouble. I mean, the way that deal looks means to me that someone else was brived a long time ago. What is in it for the city? You own the thing and you don't make a dime off of it? I don't get it. That's crazy. 30 years, 415,000. Just so people know, that's a great deal for Angel's ownership. The city of Anaheim's like, damn it. We're cooked. And I think that area is an awesome area. So,

36:26$415,000 in 30 years is what they've made. That is wild. That's insane. Yeah, you rent. If you rent it, you don't own it. Yeah, you pay some rent. Millions of dollars. $415K for 30 years. Hey, newsy stuff. Ken said next homestand, we might get our njudged back. That was on fair territory today. And then Ken will be on the show on Friday. That's very soon. That actually gives you a good chunk of time to get right. Get your head. Love that. Love that. There's a lot of things. Oh, we got. Oh, we got. Pretty great for me. Oh, my God. Look where they're doing. Look at all the, we got cameras. We got

37:33track man. We got two rehab and Yankees. We got. They're in the mountains right there. They've found a spot. Oh, wait, wait for people who don't know because they don't watch, because they don't watch games because the team's been irrelevant. Oh, that was anaheim. What a beautiful backdrop, by the way. That looks like a movie shoot. It looks like. Frank training backfield. Like Aaron, we're doing a commercial. You know, they're actually just kidding. We're just tracking our pictures. He's got a new nose at bats. He's going to need those at bats. You can do track man. All you want. But I bet he's, I bet he's standing in on other people's bullpen's too. Just get that timing. I know, I know I needed that timing. Very few hitters. That's guy. I'm still looking, I'm still looking for that timing, but like you need it. You need it. Still here for a few. Stay away. Give me three minutes. Dodgers territory live in three minutes.

38:37And actually, you know what they're going to talk about. What's up with Otoni? So is he going to pitch? And now he doesn't look right at the plate. They're definitely going to give him a little blow, a little break. Is it going to be a couple days? Is it going to be an I else? Then anything can happen. I think there's a lot on the table here because we've gotten past the point of, hey, how much of a factor can he be on the mound in the postseason? And they still do think he can do that. But Dave Roberts, this is from Fabian Ardaya from the athletic yesterday. Doc said he noticed Otoni looking off physically called it the tibethe iceberg with what he's seen out of him lately. Said he expects to talk to him tomorrow, which is today about how he's feeling and downplayed the idea of an IELL stint with Shohei. Well, that's also crats because he's going to downplay it. Otoni's going to be like, not trick. I'm not doing that. And Andrew Friedman said, Tuesday, he believes Otoni is going to pitch again this season, but no update on when his next bullpen session will be. And Friedman said, we will get him in a game at some point when I don't

39:40know exactly yet. And it's not September 20th. I mean, it's September 3rd. Yeah, interesting. I see him. Let's get the guy ready to throw an inning as an opener for the playoffs. Like that's it. That's the only way it works. There's no way they stretch them back out to be a full blown starter, but maybe he can come back. But it's, I mean, Dave Roberts is the guy. He's got to look at his body, his mannerisms, the ways walking around, the ways moving. He's got to be the one to say we got to sit you down. I don't think Otoni wants to sit down. He wants to be out there. He needs the office and quicker than a lot of people. I don't want him to, but I'm saying he needs. He needs to need to need to everybody's guest right now. A dude that does everything has to be guest. I got kids that are dying to play fall baseball. And I told him, no, like stop. Go play a different sport. Please, not a bit,

40:41not big. I'm playing hundreds of games for kids to either. Sorry. Show, show Hey and 12 and 13 year olds are the same. They don't get it. You need time off. Todd Frazier, Dave Roberts, same, same. But really, it is like you're trying to help them and coach them. Dave Roberts, this is where he makes his money. Sorry, show Hey, if I think you need to sit down, we're going to have this conversation. He's got to be the eyes there. Good for him. Well, only there was a show to keep talking about this or you don't care. And that's okay. You can hate watch or there are 25 total team shows within the FT network that you can check out, which team is yours. Maybe one of yours is a team that's missing and we're working on it. Falt territory shop.com new shirts posted in the last 24 hours. Go check that out. Otherwise, this same crew back on Friday, no show Monday. So it would be our last show for a few days.
