"Your toilet requires a three inch flapper. I swear I didn't see this. Yeah. It's orange, softball or grapefruit. So the great mindset quirky thinking along the same lines here, so they chose to go with the baseball softball comparison on the packaging, but on the website, baseball or an orange softball or a grapefruit see this is what I'm saying. Maybe they didn't have space on the packaging for both, but I think it adds clarity just to provide the fruit for comparison as well. For the less athletically inclined, but the more fruit inclined among the toilet flapping purchasing public. Don't put grapes down your toilet. No, not grapes. That would be too small for a flapper. It would just go right down. Go right through. Okay, so a couple other follow-ups here. We talked to Evan relic last week about the MLB PAs unionization effort for minor leaguers and there has been further reporting by Evan on that subject and it sounds like there has been a big milestone past, which is that a quote significant majority according to an MLBPA representative Evan spoke to a significant majority of players have voted to authorize this union representation has returned the cards that the MLBPA distributed and said, yes, I would like the MLBPA to represent me. So this now moves on to a different stage, which is the league can voluntarily recognize the union and the MLBPA sent a letter on Tuesday, asking for that voluntary formal recognition. So the ball, the baseball, the orange sized object, is in MLB's court now. They can decide whether they want to voluntarily recognize, or if they decide not to, then the NLRB can hold an election, the mob would file for an election if the voluntary recognition does not grant it. And before an election can be held more than 30% of employees have to show support, so they have already cleared that par by a wide margin. It sounds like so unless a bunch of binary Uighurs were to change their minds, having voted yes to this. If they were to change to no votes by the time that election is held, if it is held, then this seems like it's probably going to be a done deal at some point. I don't know how long they'll wait to see whether voluntary recognition will be granted or how long it would take for an election to be held if not. But if that support remains consistent and steady, then it sounds like there's a pretty good chance that this is going to happen. So that's a major milestone that has seemingly been eclipsed here. What if like your mental image of an orange is like a satsuma? You know, let's not technically an orange though, I don't think. That's not the point. They probably mean like what are they navel oranges? Is that what they're called? Yeah, I mean, you got your tangerines, you got all sorts of orange adjacent fruits. Yeah, then you got all the cross the cross pollinated fruits. You got all kinds of different hybrid fruits, you know? Yeah. Anyway, I think it's just pretty great. Maybe MLB will surprise us and voluntarily recognize the union, and I don't think they'll do it, but I mean, when we talk to Evan, his sense of it and I think we agreed was that they wouldn't have sent the cards and sort of done this and talked about it publicly if they weren't pretty confident that they were going to go to a point where they could say that the bulk of these guys support the unionization effort. I know that Francisco Lindor has come out and he's really been vocal about supporting these guys. So I think that we are on the on ramp for the lead to say, no. And then the NLR beats a facilitator vote and then we'll see where we are, I suppose. But I imagine and Evan said this too. I would be surprised if we hear a lot from them outside of very carefully worded press releases because given the state of affairs between the major league portion of the MLBPA and the league and how contentious those negotiations have been the number of existing grievances. I imagine MLB is going to be like, you can't accuse us of retaliation, you know, I think they're going to be pretty quiet so that they can try to steer clear of any of that stuff, whether they actually do steer clear of that stuff is a slightly separate question, I suppose. But I don't know, it's very, very exciting. I like this thing where we have impressive and important evolution on the labor front while having a fixed opening day. That's a selfish, there's a selfish thing to like. I'm acknowledging that. But it is nice. Yeah. Me. I guess you could say that if this is so likely to happen if an election would be held and that the MLBPA would win the day, then what does everybody have to lose by voluntarily recognizing? Like if the ultimate outcome is not in doubt, then why not just get the PR boost, whatever it would be or not suffer any PR fallout from just being obstinate about it. They just haven't seemed to care about that historically. It doesn't mean that they won't suddenly, that the particular calculus of this moment won't change the way they think about it. I could see them saying, this is very different than the way that we approach the CBA negotiation with existing players where we are trying to continue to claw back gains, but they just don't seem to often care. I think that the audience that Manfred is curious to and keen to satisfy is 30 people. The rest of us. There are technically more than 30 people, but it's ownership and not us, but maybe they'll say, you know, particularly with sentiment around unionization seemingly shifting in the population at large beyond baseball, you know, maybe things have moved for them in a way that they will they will find meaningful and they'll say, yeah, we'll voluntarily recognize and then we can kind of go from there, but they haven't even in moments when they should seemingly when they would seem to serve them well to care more about how this stuff plays with the ultimate consumers of baseball. They just haven't. Yeah, especially when it comes to labor issues, going back to even the battles with Marvin Miller. I don't think MLB owners have a long track record of bowing to the inevitable and being gracious about conceding victories. It's always have to be dragged kicking and screaming, which maybe works for them at the bargaining table, sometimes I don't know that it will make any difference. In this case, but they might just not want to give them that wind right unless they're forced to. But I guess it's not surprising that most minor leaguers would want to do this just given the long, long history of the way that minor leaguers have been treated and not made enough money and not had enough food and not have good places to live. You do that for decades and decades the whole history of the miners and basically all of the active banner leakers, careers, then I guess you shouldn't be shocked when someone comes along and says, hey, do you want better conditions? And they say yes, I would like that. That sounds nice, actually. So maybe if all along, the owners had been more generous, then perhaps players would not be as sympathetic to this appeal, but I guess this is a report you sowed sort of situation, so. Yeah. We can imagine given some of the other political leanings that we know baseball players to be sympathetic to that there might be an alternate timeline where they feel sufficiently taken care of that this isn't the avenue that they choose to pursue, which there are plenty of really compelling and good reasons for people in good workplaces to unionize.

Justin We spent the last five minutes pre show talking about Adam Devil, Jesus Aguilar large Chase Headley. The RB categories of very interesting category and I just You know, like nobody thinks that Adam Duvall is having a great season. But you know, Jose Brave could lead the league in R B i for the third straight year. When's the last time that happened? I'm ago, right? Yeah, worked. We're continuing our geeky stacks of the day or if that we had before the show, Yeah. George Foster 76 to 78. It looks like to me let somebody get across leagues and I'm just missing a guy. That's the last you did. Three. It's hard to do, but it's also It's an opportunity stat I wrote about it today. Bryce Harper's having much better season than Jose, bro, but But because he has 40 fewer R B I Nobody knows it. It's just amazing to me. Let's get into lots of topics today. We're just gonna riff today and for the rest of the season because there's no act like one guy that we have to talk about other than Frank's Rendell. But other than that, I don't think we have to talk about who, what? Where I've heard of them as anyone else. Yes, he's the most added player and ESPN leagues and, yeah, famous discussion on this show a couple weeks ago. Where Christian Yelich had a two homer game. And not since Brenda was the most added player right now is that I told you I told you for further show. I'm really happy that some guy somewhere recommended that I add Swindell to my Christian Yelich team because that's really made the difference in my playoff race. I wish I knew who that was. So I could thank him for the pickup due to I wish I knew who it was Nobody on this show. Um, I mean, we could look at the other add drops this some interesting names. I'm surprised that Jonathan V are still available and 50% of ESPN standard. We ended up having a decent season, You know, Powers big combination. Little underrated, eligible three spots still there When a lot of leagues I thought he was drafted in almost every league. You must have been dropped in every leg, he said. He's uh he's volume, underrated and skills overrated. But the end at the end of the day, he was a good contributor. Multi position and he does. He fills the categories for you. The in haps gotten hot Lourdes Gourriel. He's roster down 88% Adam Divorce so available in 33% of ESPN Standard leagues. He might literally lead the National League in RB this season that he's already 33 home runs. How is it still available? Um, just amazing to me how that's happening. Average Marlins exposure That's the only theory I'd have on that. I love this. Yes, Money. Grandeau is the top most added catcher right now. What are we? Have you seen his numbers this season? Yep. That's the weirdest season. I he has a 24% walk rate. Okay, he's only had he only has 285 p A is not going to qualify for the batting title. But he also has 19 home runs, so he's still a viable catcher and fantasy. Let me see where he is in the player reader. But his batting arms can't hurt you only bad at like 220 times. That hurt you if you had him the first in the first month where the big story was, Hey, he's got a three something on base And he's batting 1 80 that then he heard you, but you're right. He's had a very unusual year. And if you're in anything, sabermetric, you're perfectly happy to have him. Lot of walks. I mean to me that there's some unbelievable numbers right now for the season and Grandal's number 10 among catchers, but Tyler Stevenson's nine What a Weird season. What Salvador Perez is doing, man is on. Unbelievable. Now I've got on my most important teams, and he might set the major league record for most home runs by a catcher. By primary, a primary cap primary. Not when he was in the lineup designated as a catcher right because he's the H but still, if you if you told me before the season that South president 45 home runs and play 160 games, I wouldn't bite even close to either one of those things. The record for home runs by primary casters Johnny Bench with 45 Javi Lopez at 43 South president, one behind Otani, But he's got the R B I Everything about South. Praise should be the number one catch off the board next year's draft. Yeah, do a little bit. Yeah, he's going to have to, and I mean, as you mentioned D. H that almost suggests that he was only a d. H. Not really. I believe it's 110 Game nine. Yeah. Games of catcher, catcher and 30 A. D. H. And the way the Royals have used them. There's only two times he wasn't in the lineup came in late and one of the games as a pinch hitter. They have D HTM and paste it very nicely to give him his rest days then, and I think that that's the Royals design have been giving him that contract. So you look at the historical numbers Guys Primary catcher and I'm talking primary catcher more than just playing half their team's games. Three guys in history reached 160 Total games played as a patron eligible. Ted Simmons, Paula Famer. So congrats, Ted Sevens. Johnny Bench you mentioned Randy Hundley did in 1968 Perez could get the There. And you said the home run record. I mean, he had 28 of those. I think as a catcher eligible, they have been really smart with making sure to use them as that half day off and keep them fresh. I worry about how this plays out five years from now, but next year Great pick. Great pick. Yeah, congrats on the new Hall of Famers Ted Simmons, Derek Jeter, Larry Walker, the family of Marvin Miller. What an accomplishment there for those guys. That was great fun to watch. On Wednesday, you mentioned the D H with South Perez. I really hope that there's no hitter comes from National League next season. Because I can't stand watching these pictures flow away, and it's not their fault. They don't practice it. But like J. T Realmuto, could you make a case that if J. T Realmuto plays a third of his games at D h next season or even first base?.

So you look at the historical numbers Guys Primary catcher and I'm talking primary catcher more than just playing half their team's games. Three guys in history reached 160 Total games played as a patron eligible. Ted Simmons Hall of Famer. So congrats, Ted Simmons. Johnny Bench You mentioned Randy Hundley did it 1968 Perez could get there and you said the home run record. I mean, he had 28 of those. I think as a catcher eligible, they haven't really smart with making sure to use them as that half day off and keep them fresh. I worry about how this plays out five years from now, but next year Great pick. Great pick. Yeah, congrats on the new Hall of Famers Ted Simmons, Derek Jeter, Larry Walker, the family of Marvin Miller. What an accomplishment there for those guys. That was great fun to watch on Wednesday, and you mentioned the D H with South Perez. I really hope that there's no hitter comes from National League next season because I can't stand watching these pictures flow away and it's not their fault. They don't practice it. But like JT Real moto, could you make a case that if J. T Realmuto plays a third of his games at the H next season or even first base?.

"The last five minutes pre show talking about Adam Devil. Jesus Aguilar Large Chase Headley. The RB categories of very interesting category and I just You know, like nobody thinks that Adam Duvall is having a great season. But you know, Jose Brave could lead the league in R B I for the third straight year. When's the last time that happened? I'm ago, right? Yeah, we're continuing our geeky stats of the day or if that we had before the show, Yeah. George Foster 76 to 78. It looks like to me let somebody get across leagues and I'm just missing a guy. That's the last you did. Three. It's hard to do, but it's also It's an opportunity stat I wrote about it today. Bryce Harper's having much better season than Jose, bro, but Cause he has 40 fewer R B I Nobody knows it. It's just amazing to me. Let's get into lots of topics today. We're just gonna riff today and for the rest of the season. Because there's no act like one guy that we have to talk about other than Frank Swindle. But other than that, I don't think we have to talk about who, what? Where I've heard of him as anyone else. Yes, he's the most added player and ESPN leagues and, yeah, famous discussion on this show a couple weeks ago, where Christian Yelich had a two homer game, and not since ensuring that was the most added player right now. Is that I told you. I told you before the show. I'm really happy that some guy somewhere recommended that I had Swindell to my Christian Yelich team because that's really make the difference in my play offers. I wish I knew who that was. So I could thank him for the pickup. Do too. I wish I knew who it was Nobody on this show. Um, I mean, we could look at the other add drops this some interesting names. I'm surprised that Jonathan V are still available in 50% of ESPN standard. We ended up having a decent season. You know Powers be combination little underrated, eligible three spots. Still, there was a lot of leagues. I thought he was drafted in almost every league. You must have been dropped in every league, he said. He's uh he's volume. Underrated and skills overrated, but the end at the end of the day, he was a good contributor multi position and he does. He feels the categories for you, Ian Haps Gotten hot Lourdes Gourriel. He's roster down 88% Adam DeVos still available in 33% of ESPN Standard leagues. He might literally lead the National League in R B I this season that he's already 33 home runs. How is he still available? Uh, just amazing to me how that's happening. Average Marlins exposure That's the only theory I'd have on that. I love this. Yes, Money. Grandeau is the top most added catcher right now. What are we? Have you seen his numbers this season? Yep. That's the weirdest season. I he has a 24% walk rate. Okay, he's only had he only has 285 p A is not going to qualify for the batting title. But he also has 19 home runs, so we still a viable catcher and fantasy. We see where he is in the player reader, but his batting arms can't hurt you only bad at like 220 times. That hurt you if you had in the first few in the first month where the big story was, Hey, he's got a three something on base And he's batting 1 80 that then he heard you, but you're right. He's had a very unusual year. And if you're in anything, sabermetric, you're perfectly happy to have him. Lot of walks. I mean to me that there's some unbelievable numbers right now for the season and Grandal's number 10 among catchers, but Tyler Stevenson's nine What a Weird season. What Salvador Perez is doing. Man is on believable Now I've got on my most important teams, and he might set the major league record for most home runs by a catcher. By primary, a primary cap primary. Not when he was in the lineup designated as a catcher right because he's the H but still, if you if you told me before the season that South Perez would have 45 home runs and play 160 games, I wouldn't bite even close to either one of those things. The record for home runs by a primary casters Johnny Bench with 45 Javi Lopez at 43 South president, one behind Otani, But he's got the R B I everything about South. Praise should be the number one catch off the board next year's draft. Yes, let's do a little bit. Yeah, he's going to have to, and I mean, as you mentioned D. H that almost suggests that he was only a D. H. Not really. I believe it's 110 Game nine. Yeah games of catcher, catcher and 30, a, D. H and the way the Royals have used them. There's only two times he wasn't in the lineup came in. The label one of the games as a pinch hitter. They have D HTM and paste it very nicely to give him his rest days then, and I think that that's the Royals design have been giving him that contract. So you look at the historical numbers Guys Primary catcher and I'm talking primary catcher More than just playing half thirteen's games. Three guys in history reached 160 Total games played as a catcher eligible. Ted Simmons, Paula Famer. So congrats and Ted Simmons, Johnny Bench you mentioned Randy Hundley did it. 1968 Perez could get there and you said the home run record. I mean, he had 28 of those I think as a catcher, eligible date. They have been really smart with making sure to use them as that half day off and keep them fresh. I worry about how this plays out five years from now, but next year Great Pick. Great pick. Yeah, congrats on the new Hall of Famers Ted Simmons, Derek Jeter, Larry Walker, the family of Marvin Miller. What an accomplishment there for those guys. That was great fun to watch. On Wednesday, you mentioned the D H with South Perez. I really hope that there's no hitter comes from National League next season. Because I can't stand watching these pictures flail away, and it's not their fault. They don't practice it. But like JT Real moto, could you make a case that if J. T Realmuto plays a third of his games at D h next season or even first base? I mean, he really more valuable. We want volume. We wanted to play more. He's heard again for the third straight September, and he's just playing through it because the Phillies are kind of contending, but real move has been a disappointment this season. South Press should be the number one catcher off the board next year. But if you added the H, I think that would actually move up some of these catchers in the overall rankings which I hadn't thought about until 10 seconds ago. If I ever moved to as the number 110 player next season, But if there's a D h I might move them up to 90. Because you're playing more. Yeah, and this is the thing I agree with you. I hope there's a d h I I hope especially for the real Moto and the Phillies that they're probably the team that most needs a D. H to come to the National League. They've got eight designated hitters on the field every day. So who's going to play the field? Nobody. Bugs bunny all of running around all over the field. Th th th strike one. Strike two Strike three, Um Realmuto. Yeah, I think he is one of those specific examples who could benefit from this. My worry with him is did the Phillies by using him to the extent they did in the mornings before that, granted, where him down a little bit too soon that Salvador Perez has benefited from having that rest time recovering from the Tommy John surgery, and now he's got all that left in the tank. But the Phillies have used up a lot of Realmuto. So it doesn't matter if they d h him. But it's an interesting thought. The two of them could be the unique catchers who are above and beyond, You know, like they're solid here ahead of the rest of A pack. Makes them primary picks easily in your top 100. Overall, that's going to be a curious debate during the winter. We'll will Smith at a Dodgers having a fantastic the 30 home run catcher..

But before I do, Jonah, the one person who I really wanted to ask you about on on Labor Day is Marvin Miller, the executive director for the Major League Baseball Players Association, died in 2012. But he will be inducted in the Hall of Fame, and I think it's a really important step for Major League baseball. The next one is Maybe Curt flood in his contributions and just on the labour side of things, Marvin Miller hard to find someone who had the outsized impact that he did. And unfortunately, he didn't go into the Hall of Fame or won't go into the Hall of Fame when he's alive. So, uh, every player if they don't know who he is, you know Shame on him. Shame on them because He is a big reason they're making the money They're making, uh, with the conditions there in and, uh, you know, he changed baseball. He went from, uh, you know so many players, you know, Mantle and Mays and all these guys who played Pretty seventies, never had advantage of a union that really served them well. And Marvin Miller came along and forced that on the owners and continued to beat the owners and different labor agreements and pave the path for Free agency, and now every player has an agent that then you represented yourself. You had no say, uh, I hit 35 home runs Mr Owner. Yeah, but your average fell from three or 5 to 3 to. We're going to do occupy grand, and that's what they could do, And they can't do that anymore because players Finally have rights and Curt Flood. I used to vote for him when he was on the ballot.

Star Center field. There are a great defender, uh, you know, played Maybe in the shadow for a while there, you know, Mays was went in the Gold glove every year, but Curt Flood was an amazing player.

I hope one day Curt Flood will follow. John has a retired player, Marvin Miller did so much to the Union and made Players Association, one of the strongest unions in baseball with baseball in the United States, and I remember him coming into the clubhouse every spring training and, of course, Mark Belanger was right next to him because Mark was Another one that was helping Marvin Miller. And when we have those meetings, you not one person spoke. It was like a you know a person like Marvin Miller talking and everybody listened because we adored that man. He really spoke for all the players and and protected us in so many different ways. And, sure enough, the pension in baseball's outrageous It's outstanding. Things that are going on in baseball. All started with Marvin Miller from 1966 to 1982 Tell me a couple more thoughts about Marvin Miller. Well, it's and it's not just Curt Flood. I mean, as you and you were pretty much on the ground floor. It was just kind of getting underway. Uh, they know that the mid seventies is when it really took off with Andy, Mr Smith and Dave McNally. Um, you know, And then when family screw things up in Oakland, Jim Catfish Hunter was able to go to the Yankees for for a bigger prize. And, um, the problem with with with this whole thing was, you know Marvin Miller. The only way he'd be dead into the Hall of Fame is through these veteran committees, and there are often stacked with Management and owners and and it's you know who's going to vote for somebody who who took the power away from owners, and unfortunately it finally happened. I mean, blue coon got in, but silly was unanimous. Uh, you know these commissioners get in, but you don't see it on the other side. And who does the commissioner represent? Well, not the players as much as the owners. Are paid by the owners to make more money for the owners and what what's what's what's one of the main things the commissioner does will fight the Union for more rights for the owners. So so it was a long time coming And and Marvin Miller, who handed the Donald Fear and all the way down. Um You know? And Toni Clarke now, uh, pretty much. He should have gone in 20 years ago. And you know, when he was still living, he died in 2012. That voice you hear on talkin baseball's John Shea as we continue with the Hall of Fame ceremony that's going to be held on September 8th this week and the biggest name going in the Hall of Fame. Of course, the New York Yankee Derek Jeter, just the highlights and awards 14 All Star Games. Five World Series champions. Of course, Here's the M V P of the World Series in 2000 Lro. Key of the year. Five time Gold Glove five time Silver slugger. It just keeps continuing. But the one thing that I really like is there New York Yankee captain from 2000 and 3 to 2014. What an honor for him as he got voted in 99.75%. On the first ballot to get in the Hall of Fame. And I know John Shea, you had to vote for Well, I wasn't the one guy who did Yahoo more. Rivera went in 100%. And then then Peter goes in 99.75. And hey, you know what? It don't knock the guy who didn't vote for him because they were what 23 guys who didn't vote for maize 28 who didn't votes, right? Uh, you know, DiMaggio had to wait more than one year. I mean, There are different rules applied over the years. But with Jeter it's you know, on the conference call with him the other day grown up in Michigan. All he wanted to be in life was a Yankee. He wanted to start as a Yankee, and with the Yankee. I mean, 3400 hits it there. There was just nothing wrong with that guy and he was an ambassador for the game, and he did nothing wrong and Um, it's you know, it's 20 years ago next month that he he made the flip at the Coliseum to help beat the A's and that best ified. And Jeremy Giambi didn't slide, Jeter said. If he did slide, would he have been safe? Probably that's better. That's what he said. We didn't have replayed back then, and nobody contested it because it was one man's call at the plate and whether he's out or safe that will always be debated. But cheaters said if If he slid, he would have been safe. And Jeter says, You know what? People shouldn't be surprised because we always practice that play a ball into the right field corner. Guy hits a double, and if he's not moving to third, and then you back up the cut The first baseman who cuts you know, from the right fielder in case it's an overthrow, and that's exactly what happened and Jeter was in the right place at the right time, he says. They practice it in spring training, he says, but he did say, but you don't practice the flip. Yes, because you don't imagine every everyone back during and trying to score and that's exactly what happened with the Ah be trying to score from first base, but he made a lot of great plays..

"It's not just the MBA, and he's talking about all the professional sports here, and we are going to put Marvin Miller into the Hall of Fame in baseball, and it goes back Torno one of the greats Curt Flood from from Oakland. Challenge, you know, getting traded when he was traded from the Cardinals and the Phillies, you know, years ago. He just said I'm not going so my question would be you know why is this any different? Then this happens all the time. But Andre drama is something happens where he gets hurt, and they can't move his salary and you could make the point in football and John. We have many times you didn't want Kittle coming back and playing, but Kendall's got a contract. They did not bring Garoppolo back to play at the end of the year. So you know, because I think they're worried about you know him getting hurt and not being able to pass a physical. They can't get out from that contract on April 1 so The one thing is it? It's certainly not mark is exclusive to the treatment of players in this league with Raymond's talking about is all of professional sports in this country. Yeah, I don't think he has the problem. Necessarily with like this is how teams handle it right. I don't think that's the issue. I think the issue he has his players aren't allowed the same freedoms and I'm willing to bet this all goes back to him being on inside the NBA getting fined for saying Devin Booker needs to get out of Phoenix, right, which was his take on what needs to go well, like what needs to happen within the book of career, but he, but that's how like You know, the league emphasizes. They don't want players to be public about this stuff and operate this way. And Anthony Davis was fine. So I think dream. I want players to have the same freedom. To operate from the perspective of we're going to do was best for us and we should be free, even talk about that. I think that's what he's saying. Like when they when they participate in this, this type of like, Let's do what's best for us. Then they get criticized. They get penalized, and I think that's what he's saying. You know, like, Hey, they do it and it's just business. But when we do it with the selfish brat, you don't understand how good we got it, So he's It's also a bit of Social commentary to, But there's a lot of what he's talking about is like Social media backlash and public criticism, right which you know, they're probably really isn't a solution for that, right? Is that not what you could do about the fact that people just don't like to these things make millions of dollars, but I don't think he'd be opposed to He had it like this. If players were also allowed to say, Hey, that I want out of here. I'm not gonna play until I get traded and then, uh and not be fined and penalized for that. Does it matter it all. And I understand his his overall point. But Joe Barton from the athletic uncovers the Cavaliers was all with Murph in Mac this morning, and he basically said in Drummond's case, they had gone to him a couple of times because they wanted to go to Jared Allen..
