Deuces Wild with Eric Byrnes & Will Clark
Giants vs Braves on DEUCES WILD with Eric Byrnes & Will Clark
(dramatic music) - Oh my, EPM Banditos, ah, deuces, boy old motherfuckers! Oh my goodness gracious, hello there, Mr. Burns, how are you? Thrill and scared to have you back, man. I've done the show a couple times solo, and it's just, it's not the same in his topic, try to get somebody to replace you 'cause you just can't fucking do it. - Hey, you know what, I mean you and I are like, two peas in a pod, and I hate to say it, but people in the chat room have fired some stuff at the Thrill's way, and they said it ain't the same. I said, don't worry, I'm coming to EB's rescue, I'm coming to his rescue. - Yeah, there we go. - Oh, and by the way, this right here, I know you're gonna read awesome stuff, but rub dirt on it, okay? Oh, baseball's saying, dude, these shirts right here come from that baseball-ism store right there, right across from the ballpark, right across from William Isplato, those baseball-ism people treat the Thrill and his family real good, Trey Clark loves the shirts, I think they're great time, I fire them up, so baseball-ism, tip of the cat thing. - Yeah, that's incredible what they've done, because the gear has become world-renowned and you see these stores fucking everywhere, man. And it's, and I'm talking prime-time locations like right across the street from the ballpark. The OG one, though, was in Scottsdale, downtown Scottsdale, it's still there, it's still firing, but they certainly have done a terrific job. You know who else has done a terrific job? Oh, I know who you're gonna tell me, fire away, please. - Bed Online, it's the world's most trusted betting platform.

So, I want to take it from being a flat build hat, like, huh, E-B has all the time, and we're gonna redneck it, all right? So here we go, this is how you redneck a hat, E-B. Look, you just take it, you bend it, you bend it in the middle, you take it, you bend this side in there a little bit, you bend that side in there, you just keep bending, bending, bending, and look. Yeah, I got a redneck hat, Jack. That's how you do it. - You're just ruined a perfectly good hat, you know. - But it's a freaking beautiful hat now, it covers everything around here, it don't get no shadows, all of that stuff, instead of, one of them numbers that y'all do when you're skateboarding or pickleballing or whatever you do way out yonder. - Oh, all of the above. Hey, dude, before we get into the Giants, because there's a lot to talk about and a lot to unpack there, obviously, with Blake Stell and everything that you want on. I want to hit up this topic of conversation that came to my attention the other day, and I was trying to figure out what had happened, because I read an article and then watched the clips that the Marlins take exception to the second hard slide of the series by the San Diego Padres. So it's real, it says, "Bentures of bullpen's cleared "in the middle of the fourth inning "of the Marlins' chaotic 76 victory in the series "for now against the pods on Sunday afternoon, "with runners at the corners and one out "manning Machado grounded a pitch "from Marlins' starter, Max Meyer, "to shortstop Xavier Edwards, "who filled the ball and threw two-second baseman, "Otto Lopez, to begin an ending double play. "Lopez took offense to Jake Croner's slide, "as his spikes caught Lopez' left ankle, "attempting to break up the double play." Okay, there were some words exchanged, they went back and forth through your thoughts on the slide. - You even mentioned this to me this morning, so I went back, I was like, all right, what happened here, let me go check it out. Jake Croner's was at first, he goes in a second and it's a routine double play ball, but he goes directly into the bag and Lopez legitimately stands like right on top of the bag and turns the double play and doesn't ever get out the way. So, Croner's momentum took him into the bag and evidently what the problem was, was Lopez got spiked. Well, if you don't wanna get spiked, get the fuck out the way you moron, and on top of that, I told you this when we went, when we went to break a second ago, he was in the Giants organization in spring training, and I saw him turn double plays out there, and I told him, I said, you better get the hell out the way. I said, you stand right there, I said, somebody's gonna hit you, now look what happens. He gets hit, he gets spiked, now all of a sudden he's like, man, man, man, hey, you wanna play in the middle of the field? That's like we were talking about who was it? It was McNeil that was opening day with the Mets. You wanna play in the middle of the field, you wanna turn double play, you better get your ass out the way, otherwise you're gonna get hit. 'Cause guys like me there coming in there, if I gotta run 90 feet, I'm hitting somebody. So the rules at second base certainly have changed in both you and I play the game. - Yeah, you're just straight in, this is nothing out the ordinary, dude. - That's what I'm saying is that if I'm a base runner in today's game, when I'm going into second base, I'm still trying to break up a double play. The way in which I would do it is slide hard in the bag and then fucking pop up in your face and try to initiate contact while still maintaining directly into the bag and on the base. And it was like from more slide, didn't even fucking do that through. - No, no, and on top of that, the slide that you just said right there, where you go in there and you pop up, you're not trying to hit the guy and hurt the guy or anything, but you're trying to alter his throw. So he can't get off a good throw, he's gotta go over the top of you, he's gotta go around you, something like that. And with this slide that they took exception to, you know what, this is the pansy-fied baseball that we're seeing now. It's a bunch of fricking little boys playing the game instead of a bunch of men. Hey, rub dirt on it, you bastard. You wanna fucking stand in there above second base? You're gonna get hit. Guess what, you're gonna get hit again too, because now people know you're scared. - I'll tell you dude, it's not a good look. And I got a lot of respect for Skip Schumacher and the Marlin staff over there and fucking I love those guys. But if I'm scared, I'm going to my second base, man. I'm going, dude, bro, get the fuck out the way, right? - Yeah, right. - Like this isn't a day and age, this isn't fucking powder puff, man. Like there is legit contact that's still gonna happen. It's middle infielders becoming way too comfortable in the middle of the field and they think they're not gonna get hit. Well, guess what? There's motherfuckers out there, like Jake homework, dude, that guy plays the game the right way, that guy plays hard. And even with that, again, like I think he can do even better. I would like to actually like nominate myself and you, like the deuce's wild curve. We could go into hands and teach these motherfuckers out to number one, slide into second and still disrupt a double play legally. Number two, for the middle infielders, teach them how to get the fuck out the way. Boom, all you gotta do is the second baseman, all right? So you're on second base and you're throwing the ball this way. All you gotta do is take one step back and throw. You get the bag right there and you're behind the bag. So now you can't go over the bag. So you're using the bag for protection. Instead of standing right over the top of it saying, oh, you're not gonna hit me. Oh, well, guess what? There are people that are gonna hit you and props to chroma. And next time you go in there, Jake, bust him on his ass, knock him over even worse. - So just like you said, throw him into mechanics and it's just simple. You're the second baseman. You're coming in. It's you hit it with your left foot, pop back, clear out and go. The other option is if the throw takes you across, okay, now I'm gonna come across and I'll go the other side. But this isn't hard. This is a way that I teach the LTP boys. Like it's not rocket science. - Yeah, no, no. And that's what's happening right now with the way the game's being played. You know, these guys getting complacent out there. They're like, oh, this guy's gonna stop running or this guy's gonna peel off and he's not gonna come in here and hit me. So, you know what, you and I talked about this. We beat up on McNeil earlier in the year when he did it. Now we've beaten up on Auto Lopez. Guess what? You second baseman, you short stops. You guys stand over the top of that bag. You will be hit 'cause I don't care what they say. Baseball is a contact sport in certain regards. - All right, Thrill. So we've been privileged to watch Blade Snell pitch. And look, I've been watching from afar. You happen to have caught the last three games and been at the ballpark when Blade Snell has thrown. I mean, what's it been like, dude? 'Cause it's been insane. Just watching the shit on TV. - Oh man, in person, it's been unbelievable. So I was in San Francisco when he did the 15 strikeout job. And I went up to him the next day. He was sitting in his locker by himself. And I walked up to him and I go, I go, Blake. I go, that shit was fun to watch. I said, that was a man against boys. And he knew what he was doing. He had his A-game stuff and he came right at him. And he pretty much kind of agreed. And he was like, hey, look, I've been studying how Harrison threw to him and what they were missing off of Harrison. And so he actually got a scouting report off of a frickin' rookie, believe it or not, throwing against the same team. And then he goes out there, dude, the no hitter was, the no hitter was frickin' dominant. I mean, you just can't say anything else. And then I just caught him in Washington, D.C. where he went six and no, punched out 12. And he wound up giving a few runs. He hung a curve ball and that cost him a three run homer. But other than that, he was pretty much lights out in Washington too. So he's been on a roll. He's figured some stuff out, not only in his delivery, but tightening up kind of his misses. His misses were starting to be big, now his misses are small. And if you remember last year, when he was a Cy Young winner, he went off in the second half. He had like a, who was it, like a 0-6-9 ERA or something like that. - Yeah. - And so he's going off in the second half right now, which is what the San Francisco Giants need right now. You know, we just talked about it. You and I talked about it. You know, they lost last night to the Braves. They were gaming a half out of the wildcard. Now they're two and a half out. But, you know, they get hot. I mean, they get hot right now. I mean, we talked about this too. They are playing all teams, besides the Braves that they're playing right now, they're playing all teams below 500 in August. These are the teams you need to beat up on. These are the teams where you can get right back in everything. - So, I think there's something to be said for pitchers and teams that get hot down the stretch. One of the things, if you remember from Bob Melvin, even last year with the Padres, Bob Melvin teams get hot down the stretch, man. Like they have a way and he's got a way of managing a 162 game ultra marathon season where he's got the boys firing on all cylinders as you come down the home stretch. The big question is, are they going to be able to pull off enough victories to get into the postseason? I got a statistic for you that I just heard earlier tonight. For the first time in a long-ass time, I want to say it fucking like 40, 50 years, some crazy. At this point of the season, there is not one team in Major League Baseball that is on pace to win over 95 games. A lot of parity. - I did not know that. - Crazy, huh? - Really? - Yeah. - Wow, that's interesting. - Yeah, I'm wondering, like, what do you think that tells us because we do have a lot of good teams. We don't have a dominant team though. We just don't know. - You know, I mean, and you know this and everybody in chat room knows it, we talk about it all the time. But in baseball, you have the teams that fricking come out at a gate, it's like a bat out of hell and then they cool off a little bit. And you know, everybody tries to play catch up. You know, and then vice versa. You have a team that comes out like a piece of shit and then all of a sudden they catch fire. Perfect example would be like the Cardinals. I mean, it came out terrible. - Sure, terrible. - Now we have them, you know. So what we're seeing right now is a little bit of parity, but then we're also seeing these teams that in the past have like gotten like on fire and stayed on fire for like three months, that's not happening right now. And so it's kind of bringing everybody into the play and field. Like I said, if you look at the wild card standing right now, I mean, it's our fricking stack load of teams in there. So yeah, I mean, even tonight, dude, just say for example, right? You got the Mets fighting for a playoff spot. The A's are fucking beating them nine to four in New York. - Unbelievable, huh? It's unbelievable. I mean, you just, you sit there and shake your head. Like some of the stuff that's going on nowadays, like whoa, that team should have beat the hell out of that team. And then you have the game like last night, you have the game where Snell is pitching against Chris Sale who might be the Cy Young winner this year. And it's a zero to zero battle all the way through the 9th and they won't wind up getting a sack fly with that stupid ass piece of shit, run around second base, Rob Manfred thing. Fuck. - What would you like to see done in eight minutes? - Or 18 innings, you never know. So what would you like to see? No change, just play it out? - Yeah, play it out. - That's why baseball is big. You play it out. Hey, I'm not playing nine innings and have my freaking ace nail down some shit now. We talk about the Giants and the Braves. Both of their aces down some shit. We're not doing that. And then in the 10th inning go, oh, we gotta give everybody a break. Here's a runner on second base. You guys can start with a runner on second base. Fuck that, make 'em earn a shit. And thrill, I respect and appreciate where you're coming from. If I had it my way once they got into the 11th inning, so 10th inning we're gonna play out normal. You got another inning, boys. Go out there, do it. We'll see how it ends. If they don't get it done in 10 and the 11th inning, I load up the bases. There's one out and it's a Texas fucking tiebreaker. And it's on. And it's just action. - Yeah. All right, all right, I'll give you one better. All right, if you wanna take it a little further, I'll give you your bases loaded, but do two outs. Now you have to get a base hit. Or the pitcher can't throw a 55 footer. So everybody's kinda balls are in a ring. - Okay, okay, I like that. In the 12th, we'll go to one out. How's that? But we get further in the game. This is bullshit. You know, we're in the 10th. You know, you get a routine grounder and then you get a high fastball, whack, sacrifice, fly with those. It's like, that bullshit. - Yeah, oh, you can say it's execution, right? - That wasn't the fucking game, boys. - That was bullshit. - Plus on top of that. - Yeah, I'm with you, I do agree. I do agree. - I told you we started. You got me on a roll already, God damn it. - I agree. I do agree that it is bullshit because you have this masterful fucking pitching performance by Chris Sale and Blake Stein. And then the bullpen's were good too after those guys came out. - Yeah. - And then we get to the chat that it's like, yeah, so anti-fucking climatic. When the Braves scored that run, I was like looking at it and it's like, man. Like I don't know how I felt because I think if you're the visiting team and you score that one run, like are you feeling comfortable? 'Cause you know the other teams starting with the runner at first, right? Or a runner at second in the same scenario. I think if I score two, I'm feeling good. - Right, right. - But as a giant fan, I watched him score one. I'm like, no problem, we got this shit. Well, sure enough. No, it didn't fucking happen. - Yup, yup. - Want to teach your kids financial literacy, but not sure where to start? Greenlight can help.

(bell ringing) - Right, you're right. Hey, while we're on the Giants, this is an anniversary of, well, I don't know when exactly it was, but an anniversary of my buddy Dave Dravicki in my trial, you wanted to talk about that, so. - I did, really? I read an article about it and about Dave and just what a special human being. You were quoted extensively in the article. Take us back to that day in Montreal. - Yeah, that article was done by Maddie Rowanda. I mean, I've done some stuff with him. He's from MLB, good dude. And I've done some stuff for the Giants in the past with him and he wanted to do something about Dave and, you know, for me personally, it's very emotional because as a rookie, I broke my elbow in Montreal and I was laying on a turf out there and fricking ahead and nobody out there until the medical staff could get there from all the way across the field, you know? So, you know, it was very emotional and then, you know, you fast forward a few years and Dave throws a pitch and I mean, it just sounded like a rifle going off and he went down and the ball, the ball went in front of me and went into the exposed dugout and I just made a beeline for him and when I got to him, he was just breathing around and pain and I grabbed his arm to kind of stabilize it and I can't go into the details, but it wasn't pretty. And, you know, I had been there a few years before, I was on the ground rolling around and pain and, you know, nobody was there and I just wanted him to know I was there for him and the only thing I could think of at the time was, you know, 'cause he's going in a shock, was, hey, breathe in through, you know, it's out through your mouth, in through, you know, it's out through your mouth, in through, you know, it's out through your mouth and about that time the medical staff was out there and they'll let them do their thing. - Certainly one of the most horrific injuries that-- - Oh, I've never seen that. - I wish, I wish I could say that was the only one I saw but I also saw Tom Browning's. He did the same thing, threw it whacked down, he went and same crap out there on the mound. So I've seen it a few times and it's a pretty devastating injury. - So walk me through the process of when this happened to Dave Dravakie, they said he would never pitch again. - Yeah. - And then he began this miraculous comeback. - Yeah, I mean, you know, if you know Dave and you know what kind of person he is, you knew that he's coming back. He's gonna do anything to come back. And you know, it took a graft and a surgery and then this and that and you know, I don't know the exact timeline of everything, but I know when he came back, it was against Cincinnati, it was in candlestick. The place was packed. You know, I think it was a week game if I had to. - Yes, I'm not sure, maybe somebody can do, in the chat room can do the history on that. But all I know is man, he went seven innings and did not give up a run after breaking his freaking arm in half. I mean, I just, I just shake my head and that's, all I can say is that's Dave, that's my buddy Dave. So. - I had an opportunity to meet Dave and talk to him extensively through your retirement ceremony. - Yeah. - And I mean, that's what a special human being and it's someone that, you know, it's the spirit about him that is different, right? Like he's just. - I'm humbled, it's so, so cool, so inspirational. A man of faith and just, I really enjoyed my time with him and I just love how, you know, he's just out there sharing his message and sharing what he went through and. - No. - And it's super cool. - Without a shadow of a doubt. And matter of fact, thanks, DH. He came on the chat room and said his August 10th and he made his highly publicized return to the Major League's pitching eight innings in a four to three win. I mean, it was, it was unbelievable what Dave Dravicki did that day coming back from that horrendous injury. And to show you what kind of person he is, this is the kind of person he is. He later on has his arm amputated as everybody well knows, right? He decided that he is going to switch over and sign his autograph right handed now and he's gonna sign it exactly as he did left handed and he cracks it, cracks it, cracks it. So now he has the same penmanship right handed that he had left handed before he freaking got his arm cut off. - Yeah, before he did. - Unbelievable. What kind of human being this guy is? - So he had cancer and that's eventually what, you know, I don't know if that led to the break. A lot of times they'll discover the cancer when that happens. I know there's this amazing triathlete Mr. Crow that when I was going across the country, the Challenged Athletes Foundation set me up with her, they had made her prosthetic and we biked a few miles, ran a few miles together. I'm really super cool. But, you know, she was saying that like she had broken her leg and then in the process of her breaking the leg they figured out that like, holy shit, like you have cancer. - But guess what? That was probably the best thing that ever happened to her. I mean, looking back on it was because otherwise, you'd have just went on and not known you had cancer. - What killed her? - You know, anyway, it didn't want to kill Dave. - Yeah, exactly, it had killed you, you know? So, you know what I mean? You look at it, you look at it both of those ways and, you know, until this day, I see Dave probably, I don't know, maybe four or five times a year and, you know, every time I see him, it's a big, huge hug. You know, he kisses me, I kiss him, whatever it is. And just two guys being teammates again. - Hey, Thrill, I have a question and, you know, we're just, we're on Montreal and it's just a real, really, really cool city. It's not a place, actually, that unfortunately like, I've never been, I did play against the Expos, but I've never been there. But I've heard just amazing things about it. All the Ex-Ball players just rant and rave and say how awesome a place it was. I got this photo, we got this photo from one Giuseppe Pepe-Manuela. (laughing) - You have to tell the audience what is. - It says, "Cheers, Paray." - You have to cry, hang on. (laughing) - Oh, shit. - I love it. - I mean, look, this is great, bringing it back to reality here. What sort of establishment is this, Rill? Giuseppe Pepe-Manuela, he sent us this man. I'm like, "Dude, this is lookin'." - As soon as I saw it, I put my head in my hands, I'm like, "Oh my God." (laughing) So, the picture that you guys can't see was in his phone was a place called the Shea Perry. - Yeah. - It was literally a strip joint, two blocks down from our hotel in Montreal, and it was on the way to the subway when you had to go to the ballpark and on the way back for the subway when you were returning from the ballpark. And there were a lot of beers consumed in that place by the San Francisco Giants. - Boy, as there should've been, I've got the boys need to unwind and... - I mean, I don't know. I imagine they probably had some good seafood in there. - That's amazing. (laughing) - Seafood. - Yeah, yeah, that was a place to go for Happy Hour. Sure, there you go. Yeah, we had too much fun. I can't say anything. I was single and in the big leagues for nine years. So, I can't say anything, I was single. - Oh, there's no casting judgment here, man. I mean, I do think that... - You know, it's a toy thing. I can tell you what thing, when you go into the ballpark, you'd pass by, you look in there and you'd be like, seeing about four hours. (laughing) - Well, I mean, the question would actually be, I was passing by there and say I was going to the subway and then to go to the stadium and then come back, I would walk by and I would ask the gentleman at the door, I would say, "What time does the A team arise?" (laughing) - Oh my God. - Oh, dude. - All right, bro, so, hey, dude, I don't know if you know this and I haven't even told you this, but this is something that I wanted to do. So, today is National Left Handers Day. - It is, and it's not national, it's International Left Handers Day. - It's really-- - It's really mine for us freaky people. - So, yeah, I mean, you obviously, have gotten all sorts of notices from the people and the buddies and everything else about this. I figure, let's take a moment here. There's a couple different routes we can go with this. We do have a great audience on tonight, so you guys can fire away if you like. Let's do two different things. First and foremost, let's try to figure out and rank. The top five left-handed pitchers of all time. - Oh my God. - Yup. I mean, if I'm gonna select the number one name in our generation that comes to mind, Randy fucking Johnson. - Right. - Right? - Right. - Of our generation. We had to face Randy a bunch, so he's into top five. Okay, number, I have a feeling, all right, now this is the generation before me, but I'm gonna go with the Mr. Dodger's South Paw Sandy Kofax. - Yup. It's tough because we didn't play against Sandy, but hearing the stories of how good he was. - Yeah, but he also retired early because arm issues and stuff like that, but when he was like in his prime, nobody could hit him. I mean, Willie Mays told me stories about Sandy. He said, "And Drysdale used to knock him down all day long." He goes, "I'll face Drysdale, knock him me down all day long for our face Kofax." - Yup. - Yeah, so they were seeing Kofax would run it up there about a hundred miles per hour or two in his prime. - Oh, oh, that and a fricking nasty hook on top of that. - So we can't go much further, just because, and I'm gonna bring him up and I'm not putting him in the top five, but because we're talking about Dodger's left-handers, Clayton fucking Kershaw, dude, like. - Dude, dude, in this like latest generation, one of the better ones, one of the better ones. He's got, put it this way. He, even though, you know, naysayers, whatever. He's racked up Hall of Fame credentials. I can tell you that. - I would be shocked if this guy doesn't get elected into the Hall of Fame on his first ballot. Jason's on here and he brings up a guy that is near the top of every list that I've looked at, Warren Spahn. - Oh, I was just gonna say him. I was just gonna say him. He was another one from the, you know, Ted Williams era and all that sort of stuff, and he was another one where nobody said, I wanna face him, you know, or, or, hey, I'm gonna, I'm gonna get a good at bad off of it. - Mm-hmm. - Okay, a guy, I imagine you probably faced Steve Carlton. - Yeah, I saw Josh just brought up, Josh just brought up Carlton in the chat room. Probably, I caught him at the end of his career. - Yeah. - Like the generation right before me, the most dominant left-hander. The most dominant left-hander. I mean, up until Randy broke his record like the left-handed strikeout leader. You know? - Yeah, it didn't. - Yeah. - It's tough because, and I'm sure you feel the same way I do it, but I'll give you an example, Greg Maddox. We've talked about him a little bit before. - Yeah. - But there's no other way to put that. I fucking own Greg Maddox. - Yeah, you feel it. - Yeah. - When people talk about Greg Maddox being one of the best pitchers of all time, they said, and I'm like, yeah, dude, I'm a fan. I get it, I watch it. And even though I had success off him, I still thought Greg Maddox was, that's his ball would fucking run this much. - Yeah. - He just, everything he threw would break into me. And so that did me a favor, right? It was almost like I was facing a lefty, and that's what made him so effective against lefties 'cause he'd run the two-seamer away, he'd front door, whatever, but I had this shit coming in. I just fucking buggy with his ass down the line. But, you know, I have to separate. There's like the fan boy in me, and then the player in me, 'cause the player in me, I obviously wasn't scared to grab a mat. Now, I also didn't necessarily see Greg Maddox in the prime of his prime, right? I got it towards the tail end of his career as well. I'm the same, same with Randy and a couple of these other guys. - And you didn't get Maddox when Maddox was Maddox and he was getting extensions off the plate too. That was a different Greg Maddox you had to face. - Oh, that was a fucking joke. - You know, what does your crying shape your generation? - We need to go out and go out and the other guy. We need to bring up. - You and I have had that talk, but guess what? That's what we had to deal with, so, I mean, - Like that bolt right there, as we transitioned here into the Giants, given Harrison on the mound, that bolt missed by about what? Four inches off the plate, like, dude, that was a strike every fucking time. - Every time, every time, yep. And that's why you had to know which side to plate somebody was going to, and you had to move around to Maddox's box, so there you go. You know, another thing too, you know, I mean, there are other guys, there are other guys that are, I guess you want to say for lack of a better term, they're like intimidating. So like, you know, Warren Spahn, or Steve Carlson, Randy Johnson, Sandy Kofax, these guys that were naming, they're very intimidating. - A Maddox is throwing 88 with a change-up. Glavin, he's throwing 89 with a change-up. It's nothing that's intimidating, it's just the fact that they make pitches on you and they were getting some help behind the dish. So, you know, that's kind of the difference in those guys that we're talking about right there. - So by far and away, Randy Johnson was the most intimidating pitcher that I ever faced. Who was the most intimidating pitcher you ever faced? - Oh, the guy I faced in my first half bat in the major leagues. - Oh, you did not, you did not mess around in the batter's box with Nolan Ryan. You didn't do it, I mean, it just, it wasn't, it wasn't, you know, one of these like all this bullshit that they're doing, these celebratory bullshit or another. You did that, you're wearing something on your body, your next half bat. So you might as well just suck it up and, you know, you gotta remember something, too. I'm facing Nolan in his third decade, third decade. He pitches six studies and I'm facing him in the eighties. So pretty unbelievable, pretty unbelievable. - So there's another guy that was cut from the same cloth as a Randy Johnson and Nolan Ryan that we haven't even brought up yet. But certainly, if you look at his post-season credential, he'll go down as one of the best left-handed pitchers of all time, Madison Bumbunner. - You know, he's, he's, you know, very close to my heart because, you know, he and I were like two peas in a pod in the clubhouse, but then he single-handedly won the 2014 World Series. So, you know, I mean, you know, his body of work wasn't as extensive as everybody else, but when it came down to winning the big game that you needed one, the mad bum was all up in there. - Runners at first and second, no else. Marcella Suna at the plate. Harrison's got himself in a little bit of a jam. One, two, foul ball. He wasn't getting the call just off the plate thrill and he ended up walking the lead-off guy and then he just got a nice call against Suna, Suna was pissed about it, but it was sort of that ball that used to always be called this right that no longer. And look, hitting his heart these days. So, I'm not even saying that they should, but there's strike three as Suna goes down. That's a big strikeout. - All right, I think this one out, all right? So, he walks Jorge Solaire, a former teammate. Guess what? We've walked Jorge Solaire three times in two games. We know this guy. He was in our lineup for the last half of a year. What are we doing walking him? Make him hit the ball. - Matt Olson deep to center. Ramos holds it in, Solaire's going to tag and go to third. Riley says it first. So, runners at the corners and two outs. A good swing thrill. He just missed this right here. - Yeah, no, so that's the old pitching away, playing away and hit it to the big part of yard. Look, right at the 399 side, good luck. And he just didn't quite get enough of it. - So, a big hit back coming right now, Travis Darno. It's interesting 'cause he looks like he's standing pretty far off the plate. Daring him to go inside. He gets that inside fastball and swings right through at 93 miles per hour from Harrison. Harrison does have that foreseen run though, that just, you know, it's 93, but it plays more like 96, 97. - Yeah, yeah, he's got that funky kind of delivery. You know, he's kind of almost like, he's very similar to old Sid Fernandez from the Mets. He gets up underneath the ball and pushes it, and the ball like rides up a little bit. - The 1-1 pitch is a change up down. That's the pitch that he got more solo soon on. Darno, I mean, he's had a great career, man. You know what, he has. He's like rallied himself last few years. He went from being kind of in obscurity to now. All right, he's a starting catcher and-- - Fucking world champion catcher, it does it, right? I mean, everyone needs that dude. - And he's a great clubhouse guy, he's a great guy. - Yeah, yeah. - Follows me on Instagram. All fucking double thumbs up for this guy. Thrilled two balls, two strikes now. I mean, do we stick with the heater or do we go back to the changer? - Oh, high-chee, high-chee, baby. - Okay, here it is. Yes! - Are you like, I'm saying 95% on calling pitches? - Thank you. That's how we roll. Everybody wants to know how I know because I pay attention to how Patrick Bailey calls the ballgame. So if Patrick Bailey ever gets traded, I know how he calls the ballgame, and I'm gonna beat on him. - Summer is supposed to be an opportunity to slow down, but when you look at your kids, you can't help but notice that your kids are growing up fast.

So, I retire with the Cardinals, and then Larissa brings me back next few years. And I come in to spring training, and I'm the special guy, you know, whatever. And three years in a row, my locker was right next to Bob Gibson. And I come in and I'm like, "Oh, Jesus. Hi, Mr. Bob. Hi. How are you doing?" You know that kind of thing. And Dusty Baker had told me the story about Bob Gibson and Hank Aaron. And I go, "Oh, really?" Yeah, and Dusty told me this one when I was playing. And so, anyway, so I told him, "Mr. Bob." I'm like, "Mr. Bob." I said, "You know, Dusty Baker told me that Hank Aaron told him to not dig in when he faced you because you were real serious out there and you would bury him." And he kind of shook his head like, "Yeah, you know that kind of thing." And so, anyway, so I go, and Dusty told me that it was like a rookie about two years later. He gave him the same advice off of you, and he was digging a hole up there at home plate. And you were just standing there on the mound like this, you know? And all of a sudden, the rookie looked out there and saw you and started to cover the dirt up. And he's like, "Oh, I forgot about it. I forgot about it." And I said, "Dusty told me that you said, "Don't worry. Go ahead and keep digging that hole because that's what I'm going to bury you in." He drilled him to the next pitch, and he goes, "Will?" He goes, "Every bit of that is the truth." He goes, "I hit the crap out of him." [laughter] And the best part is Bob Gibson, besides being this large human being and all that, he's a gold glove boxer. You're not going to go out on the mound and try to kick his ass. He's going to beat that shit out of you. And here I am in the Cardinals' clubhouse, and I'm in the locker next to him. I'm like, "What the hell am I doing here? I'm here. Blue blocks across the clubhouse. There's skin mutual over there. There's red shandy's over there. What am I doing here?" It's like, "Wow." Unbelievable. That's super cool, man. Yeah, Bob's intimidating presence. I mean, it was big ol' arms, hands. When you shook his hand, it was like, he just got all up in there. He was like, "Jesus." And because of going to spring training with him, I actually played -- he had it going on for a few years up until he started to get sick, but he had a Bob Gibson golf tournament, and it was in Omaha, Nebraska, and I went and played in it about four or five years in a row, and he was just superhuman being super. So, I mean, that will somewhat conclude our top five lefty list. I mean, obviously not. Hey, Bob Gibson on the list. That was really good. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed that. That was good revisiting some of that stuff. Well, there's a couple others that I -- By the way, while I'm thinking about this, Wes just came on there and said he met Dusty. You know, Dusty and I had two peas in a pod. I saw him the last time I was in San Francisco. We had a chance to spend two days together watching the ballgame and talking, and he and I legitimately called 90% of the pitches that came in. And he's looking at me. I'm looking at him, and I go, "Do you think that any of those guys out there know what we're doing right here in the beginning?" He goes, "No." He says, "I've talked to them." I said, "I've talked to them too. I'm blue in the face." And they don't listen. So I don't know. Dusty, what a fucking baseball guy, right? Frickin' unbelievable. And he keeps it real. I mean, he talks like you and I talk. It ain't -- it ain't like, you know, you go, you know, talk to somebody, and it's like he's talking over the top of you. It's like two friends, just bullshit. But when he starts talking technical shit, you better shut the fuck up and you better listen, because that man knows what he's talking about. Ramos drills the ball right field. He's going three. Easy triple. Little Pete Rose hit first night, too. Very nicely done. Fuck yeah, man. Charlie Morton was cruising until he just leaves the 96 mile-per-hour two-seamer out of the outer half. Exactly what I'd be looking for. You know what? Charlie Morton's got good stuff, man. He does. He's got good stuff. One of the things that I noticed is when you go to San Francisco, it's amazing how our right fielder plays way to shit him over there in Frickin' with Triple's alley. And none of the visiting teams ever play that far over. We cut that frickin' triple off for the most part. And if you're going to get a triple, you actually got to hit it down the line, down the right field line. All right, conformo. Watch. This ball's going to be away from you. Go the other way. Two-seamer away. It's funny because they tried to come in and look like. He's trying to come in, but he left it out. Doesn't matter. If you look in a way, you just walk right into that. That's a routine sack fly. Two out-sell. He's not. All right, so now Morton missed with his location. He wanted to come in and he missed out over to play. So, pretty good chance. He might be coming back in to get back to his location again. Oh, it's 0-2. You got to be a little careful with your Morton because you don't want to throw a dirt ball. Right, runner on third. Two out. I mean, I'd rather give up a hit than throw a ball in the dirt. Yeah, man. Let's see if he could get something elevated. There it is. Good block by Darno. That's why he gets paid the big bucks. Huge, huge block. All right, what you think is coming right here? This is your pitch right here, brother. I think, honestly, you probably try to run a two-seamer in and get him to freeze up and lock up on the inside. Yeah, that's what's coming. Nope, curve ball away. Bad pitch. Good, good. How do you blow heaters right by somebody and throw him three straight brake balls? That's the kind of bullshit that we used to talk about after the game. It's like, why did you throw him three straight brake balls? You blew him out of the water with the fastballs. Come on, man. You throw him in. There it is. The payoff pitch. Filthy. What the fuck was that? That's another brake ball. Holy shit, though, man. Did you see how much that one broke? Yeah. How do you throw that many shitty brake balls, like three in a row, and then you throw the brake ball in your life? You got me. Who knows? Hey, let me ask you this. You had texted me something about Fitzgerald swinging three and oh, and you said Otani swung three and oh or something. What was that? Let's talk about that. Yeah. So, Otani hit his first three-oh-homer last night of his career, right? All right. 428 foot opposite field shot. Oppo Taco. I wanted to know your approach on three-oh. What were you looking to do? Three-oh for me was generally because I was in the three-oh. Three-oh for me was generally a take because I'm setting up four and five, so I'm trying to walk right there three-oh. I had the green light every time I got three-oh. I only swung maybe three times in my career. One was three-oh, two of my homers. One of them was off Pedro Guerrero and one of them was off a Pasquale Perez. Not Pedro Guerrero. Pedro Martinez, excuse me. Pedro Martinez and Pasquale Perez. Those were two of my homers on three-oh. The other three-oh, I don't remember what I did. But I did not generally cut it loose three-oh because I wanted to bring the big boys up behind us with more runners-on. I mean, especially if you have Kevin Mitchell and fucking Matt Williams and Barry Bonds hit behind you, right? Or when I went to Texas, two-time MVP, one Gonzalez. Those guys are going to drive the runs in if you're out there for them. For me personally, it was more about making the guys throw more pitches and having those guys see more pitches up at the plate. Yeah. So three-oh for me because I played for the A's was like a fucking no-go. Just not swinging. Yeah. That's it. Take one. Yeah. It was bullshit because that set the tone for the career. I used to swing to real in college all the time. All the time. I used to rate it. And look, you know what I mean? Hey, look, a lot of people say, you know what I mean? They just throw the ball right out over the plate. That's bullshit. A lot of times on three-oh. That was on the corner. I was like, how the hell did you make that pitch after you missed the other three pitches by six feet? I'm not sure if I ever got to hit three-oh. I actually, I can count on one hand at the time I swung. When I did it was with the Diamondbacks. No, okay. And it was Bob Belbin going to swing the fucking back. Right? Yeah, I gotcha. And it is aggressive nature, which I love. But I wasn't confident to swing three-oh. You have to have a mentality. And this is one I've tried doing still within the left-down playboys because that's a mentality I want them to have. We're fucking swinging. A thousand percent we're swinging. You get a good pitch to hit. We're looking to do damage. My thing, my thing was, all right, if I'm going to cut it loose three-oh, it's going to be the exact pitch that I want to hit. I mean, like the exact pitch. I'm talking about, like, I'm looking pitch and location and up and down. So let's say, let's say I say it's going to be fast ball down and in. If it is not a fast ball down and in, let it go. Juan Soto, by the way, breaking news. [MUSIC] His third homer of the night. It is the first time that he's done it in his big league career. It's three home runs for Juan Soto, the pending free agent. I mean, he's making himself some fucking cash. Oh, man, man, you ain't kidding. Somebody asked me that the other day. They were asking me, you know, who do you like to watch as far as a hitter goes in today's game? And he was the guy that popped in my brain. And not only because of, you know, what he can do as far as, you know, I guess you want to say power and RBIs and all that. But he's so disciplined up at the plate. He rarely swings at bad pitches. So he's kind of a throwback, you know? No, he is. I mean, he says he's one of the best hitters I've seen. Well, I'm serious. Like he, his plate disciplines and say he just doesn't, he doesn't swing a ball. Yeah. Does not swing a ball. He, if you think that he's doing this, you know, at such a young age, Loriana drills one, God, holy shit. Up the cocklicker. The former Oakland athletic and don't see many right hitters going there, but Loriana. Absolutely fucking destroys a baseball to right field. The Braves lead one nothing. Hey, I tell you what, you don't see right handers going the other way in San Francisco. Never. That'd be so rare. That, that right there. That ball put it this way. He had to have hit the shit out of that ball. It shot off his bat, man. Yeah. It had, it's like your turn. You have that sound. Wait. So now let's take this a step further. All right. Here's your learning lesson. All right. And they can't do it now because you got the easy. You can only go out to the mound a certain amount of times. I would actually go out to the mound right there and I'd tell Harrison. Hey, look. Every now and then you got to tip your cap to a big leader. You made a fucking good pitch and he whacked the fuck out of it. All right. But guess what? That's not going to change how we pitch. Go back in there again. Do the same goddamn thing. Yeah. You know, it kind of, you know, I mean, you know, he gives a guy like Kyle Harrison, who's young kid, gives him a little pat on the back that, hey, look, you know, those guys that are in the other dug out of fucking pros too. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And they're paid to do a good job against you. He did a good job. Okay. Shit happens. Let's move on. Let's go. What's crazy. I'd say crazy because we've seen Lori on him hit, but this is a guy that was hitting 201 on the year. I mean, it's just not necessarily a swing that we think we're going to see from a 201 hitter. Right. Right. I mean, hitting seven, I mean, 644, OPS, he's knowing more for his defense and his good arm, 242 career average, 75 homers, 739 OPS was not terrible. But the Giants fall behind one nothing. They need this one here. They got to keep pace and just keep that above 500 thing going. Yeah. Sorry. Okay. Throw the other guy I want to talk to you about is the dude that has been absolutely killing it for the Giants. The shortstop Tyler Fitzgerald, he has not cooled down. What have you seen from him? Oh, so, you know, you and I kind of talked about it and Tommy Luke and Josh, we talk about it, you know, on an everyday basis, but Tyler Fitzgerald, I've been a proponent of his for two years now. I've been wanting to make the jump into the big leagues. He got a chance last year, you know, then earlier this year, he had a chance and he got sent down and believe it or not, rightfully so because he didn't do crap earlier in the year. So, Tyler Fitzgerald is a notorious slow starter and so it's like one of those things where, you know, when I saw him, you know, I patented him on the back and told me, look, you know, I'll see you later. I said, get your shit right. And sure enough, here we go, June, July, Tyler Fitzgerald is Tyler Fitzgerald, he catches fire and here he goes and, you know, you guys, you guys saw that little streak he was on. I don't know, you guys know the numbers better than I do. I mean, eight out of 12, 10 out of 15, whatever the shit it was, he was whacking a bunch of homers around there and it's just Tyler getting hot late in the year, which is what he has done the last three or four years I've seen him. His last 30 games, 330 average, 389 on base percentage, 728 slugging, 11 homers. I mean, the dude's been in Fuego. He's cooled down a little bit. I mean, I guess you can see the last seven games, but dude, he's treading water and you know those, you know, those like weeks, right where it's like, okay, if I could tread water and hit 250 for the week, it's fucking on, because I'm going to get right back into my groove and that's what he did, right? 250, G33 on base. Yeah. Yeah. So you're on fire, right, and you're going to cool off. Everybody's going to cool off. All right. So, waymo, he cools off instead of being cooled off at like 250, you want to frickin mix in a walk here or a sack here and then cool off at maybe 270 and your average doesn't come balin back down. And that's why I teach these guys, hey, you got a grunge, you got it. Oh shit. Yeah. Harrison's getting pummeled, bro. No way to put it. I didn't say it. I just caught it at the end. Was that just one right there? That's fucking so rare. I mean, how many former giants are going to come back and stick it in their frickin rear ends, bro. I'm fucking dumb ass. You know, I was fucking you pitched him last time. Oh, these fastballs are all up and away though, drill like it's these guys have an approach. So you got to jam that fucker inside. That's don't let him get extended. He's not doing. He's not he's not finishing it off. So it's it's sailing on him high and away if he finishes it off, it'd be in well on the heels of Nick on it. He's a huge hombron against the giant, just like a week after they released them. Now you're so layered doing damage against them. Yeah. And that's the thing. That's the thing. And you know, I mean, I've I've told several people that there's a reason why I beat up on my teammates. Yeah, it goes back it goes all the way back to Mississippi State. We used to have what they call the banana split series. So it was a fall it was a fall series. It was best two out of three and they had to like pick they picked teams and you had to face your teammates is what you had to do and you had to beat them two out of three three years in a row. I won the banana split I never lost because I knew how my teammates pitched and I told all the rest of my teammates how they were going to get pitched and we beat up on our we beat up on Jeff Brantley two years in a row who was our ace and frickin is the SEC Hall of Famer is a college Hall of Famer all right. We beat up beat up on him two years in a row because I told everybody was coming. Riley pops it up. We're lucky to get out of that two nothing brave but I feel like it's nine nothing. Well put it this way put it this way all that's a in in the baseball gods realm. That's a blooping summer is supposed to be an opportunity to slow down but when you look at your kids you can't help but notice that your kids are growing up fast help them build independence as they grow with green light green light is a debit card and money app for families where parents can keep an eye on kids money habits while kids learn how to save invest and spend wisely it's the easy convenient way to raise financially smart kids get your first month free when you sign up at green light dot com slash pod.

Oh look at him look at him oh oh Jorge so there's a stud oh yeah there you go there you go ammo wait a minute jump on the train after he hits a frickin triple nice job he certainly not a kunya but a great dude to temporarily fill the role he's got a point I love how they put it right in the fucking lead-off spot too like this is a guy that wasn't hitting shit for the Giants hey six foot four two hundred and forty pounds frickin strong as an ox lead-off hitter excuse me lead-off hitter yeah that sounds like somebody don't want to be in the middle of the lineup and face all of the frickin stuff coming at you so I got a question yep because I think it's an indicator of success you strike out the walk ratio so if I look at Tyler Fitzgerald and if there's one thing that I would get pick on yes you know at least in the past you know you say the past 30 games he's got eight walks eight walks 28 strikeouts and 103 at bats so that's below the 10% threshold yes the last ready for this last 15 games so 58 at bats he only has two walks and 16 strikeouts so the question becomes you know at some point will this catch up to him he's part of that new generation that has not bought into a look I need to stand in front the mirror and say six foot four and I can fucking haul ass maybe I need to put the ball and play a little bit more and strike out of the less and so don't worry the thrill will be talking about that quite a bit all right let's go one more half inning right here and watch Matt Chapman hit thrill here's a guy that you spent a lot of time with I love Matt I love Matt he he is definitely our duty be he's old school plays game the right way all the way across the board dude you would you give me you give me nine Matt Chapman's we're gonna win we are gonna frickin win he's not breaking ball it's rilled up the middle base it there's there's nothing that's gonna frickin light you up but everything he does is being a true pro and he's that guy what have we seen from your strum sheet this season all right so frickin hit or miss his big thing watch look look Eevee and then my after this go ahead watch so he goes like this all right he ducks that hit in there so that elbow comes up that back shoulder drops I've talked to him about six times about it whether he listens or not I don't know oh you know what imagine that the head just dropped up in there hey that's that's interesting because I know you're saying I think that's his natural move but if you remind him look stay tall stay tall they'll at least keep it a little bit higher and allow him to get on top of the ball like he did right there base it up the middle so so when you are look when you're up high and you duck your head in there like that the only ball you can hits down and that was the ball he just hit just there if you start and that's what people are doing when they start elevating up the ladder that's when he has problems Giants are in business rotors the first and third no outs and here he is Patrick Bailey 238 on the season let's see Bailey 654 OPS so not great taking a look at the defensive positioning another big hole right up there to the middle that should get a run home good job by Morton all right I'll take I'll take that right yeah RBI we got a run home one run gain now we got a runner on second base one out advanced the guy yeah gotta do it there's a piece of shit at bat but it came out smelling like a rose so there you go amo says you might have hit on it the last night's manfred rule outcome was tough either way it would have been rough after such great kitchen outings yes amo we did hit him we already visited that early in the show that's what you get to be in late motherfucker we already did already already dropped the frickin yeah who the frickin manfred so see you later yeah room stay out the chair of motherfucker you're a brave fan ha what about a drawer in karnacion I don't know anything about it I don't know I don't know a oh god I don't know anything about him but I watched him in Washington when when he was with the team and he whacked won the right center whack won the left center and I mean he pissed on both of those balls and he didn't get no love right there he hit that ball pretty good too well dude he's a big presence I mean it's yeah all right why these big thing is he's another guy that he gets going and starts up underneath the ball so he's another guy that they elevate fastballs on that's that nasty break of all he takes it Morton Morton inside you got to remember he he came for in the American League so that's how he grew up pitching backwards yeah I feel like everybody pitches backwards Gulf Coast College Community College for wisely big swing in a minute right here see that right there so look he goes like this and he goes me and he drops up underneath it me he didn't even he didn't even fall that ball off that ball is right there one ball one strike runner at second base giants trailing two on in the bottom of the second inning Charlie Morton another filthy slider that wisely fell off going up underneath it that curveball's working for him now does he throw another one or is he going to come back with the fastball better throw another one better throw another one just this one be down wisely got a piece of it theoretically he could throw in the dirt if he has to because the runners at second and not third so you could give up that base if you had to but Charlie Morton I mean this guy this guy's been a savage for a while man I mean he always had great stuff and then I think it was when Houston when he finally got there I mean that's what he like elevated his game the next level he was there there's another breaking ball that's just you like I mean come on I'm sorry you said you call it you and I are you and I are sitting here with microphones about this far away from us and we know what's coming and the guys in the batter box don't know what's coming well look so you said another breaking balls coming and then immediately I went to this was going to be in the dirt because he doesn't give a fuck if that guy scores right so that's he did is having a guy on third as opposed to a guy on second if you're an offense because if the guys on third he throwing that shit in the dirt he don't want he does not want that run to score but Morton's breaking ball right now to the lefties is fucking filthy man with then here's another thing he's falling into a pattern these are the things that you and I have talked about before if you go back a few hitters before wisely comes up there he flipped up some breaking balls or runs in scoring position guess what he's going to try to get you out with you're down in the order can get you out with that shit amo says he's a big thrill and burns he fan too even though he's a brave span amo we love yeah keep coming back Linda I look I'm not saying this Linda said this she said manfred can eat a bag of dicks Linda you have
