"Small guy, and the cubs have a lot of small guys that can break down. He's got something there. He's got that little it factor. I mentioned the first inning. He's also really good late in games. He had his first walk off the other day of sac fly, his two home runs have come late in the game. His OPS is like over a thousand. It's 900 something late in games. So the moment has to be too big for him in ten games, his on base in the first inning is over 800. This is a guy that I think might belong. Yeah, I think if you're going to a page percentage to that high that comes with find a spot form, they'll also likely, I think, find a spot for Wilson Contreras with another team before the trade market. It's very interesting because on one hand, he's having a really good offensive season so far, you know, done the next sort of numbers that I think teams look at. But on the other hand, his defensive numbers are way down. Like his pitch framing numbers are way down. How do you think that contenders will interpret all that Jesse and who are some teams you kind of looking at is maybe potential fits for Contreras once we get into the trade market? Well, I do believe sometimes it could be tough to trade for number one catcher mid season, learning a new pitching staff. But beggars can't be choosers, right? We saw the mets go have an injury with McCann, they're always in contention for anybody that's available if they have a spot open. I would think. I think the cubs were probably correct in going kind of year to year with him. This is a different season. I think he's opened their eyes. He's been a leader in the locker room. He's using the whole field, he's staying on the field, he'll get Nick, but then get back right out there, we're in the past. He's had some injuries. They may still circle back to him. He's got an arbitration hearing in less than a week. That throws a wrench into things, right? They may circle back to him before the deadline and talk about what a long-term contract would look now. I think he wants 20 million a season. I think he's thinking JT real Muto than anyone else that you could compare him to. And just using real mutual as an example buster, you know, he lost an arbitration case with the Phillies. He went to free agency and actually resigned in January. So as long as the relationship is good and I think it's pretty good, you never know what could happen, even going into the off season. Now it's less likely than likely he'd re sign if we're getting to November and stuff. But and I think he's going to move on one way or another. I can't tell you that's August 1st or November 1st. I'm just, I can't read the tea leaves just yet trading number one catchers rentals late in the season, it's not often, right? We don't have a great foundation to look back at and say, this happened, this happened. This happened. You know, I think the mets would be in there. I think that, you know, I have to see who, you know, who's in it there, because here's the thing. There's a lot of people that think the 6 or 7 playoff teams of the 6 playoff teams in each league are set. I think the angels are starting to come back to the pack and the rangers. But if you're set, if you're in the playoff hunt, you're going to give up a lot for a catcher that late in the year. You know, with a two month rental, I'm not sure. So I think the market is yet to emerge for him. Do teams already in the trade for him thinking about October. I'm not sure you do that with a catcher. So it's a little different when you're trading for a number one catcher with two months to go on his contract. And I think that the trade market is yet to emerge from. But I do think he's more likely gone than staying. Yeah, I tend to watch. I think the Yankees are interesting. I mean, it may be that because of their early season success with these two defensive catchers that they're using, that that's the route they'll continue to go. But here's one thing about Contreras. I think you're back me up on this. Teams could look at them as being, you know what? We like our catcher, whoever that is, whatever team that is, we like our catcher, our primary guy, but Wilson Contreras, we can use as a DH because he's a really good offensive player. That's probably why he's played so well. They've been able to get him off his feet. One healthy has been a really good addition to this team. In fact, pitchers really like throwing the yon domes. We also get fres, even with domes down has been DH more PJ Higgins a guy they called up from the miners has been getting time behind the plate. I've seen this on the south side too, yasmani grandal has been a DH more than he's been a catcher. Reese McGuire has been catching, it feels like a little bit of a trend using both your catchers in a game. So yes, you're right, if there's an opening at DH for someone and I don't know if many teams have that opening. We'll see Contreras can play there as well. We got news yesterday about Grayson Rodriguez, one of the best pitching prospects in baseball. He goes down with a lad injury. He's out indefinitely, which the team now has acknowledged. And look, for the Orioles who are building this nice core of young pitching, I was talking with Alex core the other day, the Red Sox manager and he was complimenting how Baltimore staff has gotten better. So for the Orioles, it stinks, but I got to tell you, I felt bad for the kid..

"So it is quite rare. And the last time it happened with catchers was 1985. It's been a while, right? So Donnie Scott and Orlando Mercado were traded for each other to catchers from Texas and Seattle in April of 1985 and I found a story about that from 1985, which I will link to on the show page, but it was basically like, you know, we like this guy a little bit more than that guy. It wasn't like, hey, we think we have a superstar here. So the quote about that trade. Scott said he thinks the mercados got swap will benefit both parties. We saw what Donnie could do, the second half of the rangers season, and in the long run, we feel like Mercado is going to be a little bit better. He's in the same age range as Scott. They were actually both 23. And I guess he was right. Mercado was a little bit better, technically, or at least he played more, but he was not actually better because they were both sub replacement level players. So Riccardo ended up with negative three career war versus Scott's negative 1.7 career war, so I guess you have to decide is playing more, but accruing even more negative value, better than playing less than accruing less. I guess it is. It was probably better for Mercado. But that's kind of the caliber of the trade you get, what do you trade? Players at the same position who are the same age for each other. So in honor of Danny Scott and Oscar Mercado, who you got in the great Zach Collins versus Reese McGuire trade of 2022, which one are you betting on for the greater career war over the rest of their careers? I'd say Rhys Maguire. Yeah. It's probably the safer bet. If only because again, I think he could actually catch. Right. And this is pretty bad at that, so. Okay, well, thank you. Ryan for looking that up. It is not an unprecedented trade, but it is indeed a strange one, and one that I probably would have written an entire article about back in my baseball perspective stays. Now I have stat blessed instead. So that was tenuously connected to the AL east, our next segment will be.

"Until this point we rarely. We really haven't experienced this team playing their fullest potential and then dealing with charlie montoya criticism. So all of a sudden the j.'s. Turn it on in these last two weeks and um answered my question. We have not heard any criticism from people about charlie manteo In this span. And i think. I don't think it's a coincidence. Because that's just something that. I think we've all kind of noticed or at least is three half as much as whoever's listening likes some her not having that that's just the truth. The bullpens been executed when they've been executed. I think you know some decisions made pinch running decisions. Everything like that. A lot of people of actually credit him for that. And i think there's a lot of things that he's done that have actually benefited. The team wanting a comes to my head going back to last week when the the yankee earned the j. swift the new york wasn't one. Jerome dyson came off. the bench. Pinch ran at third base. He scored on a sock fly without even sliding and then everyone was saying. That would not have happened if he wasn't in the game blah blah blah. That's just one thing that comes to my mind all around but you know. I just don't see a reason to hold them accountable for do or for. Not pinching reese mcguire in a situation like that yesterday i understand. That reese mcguire adding. That was his first game in almost a week. Because obviously the jays right at three earth carrying three three catchers. So it's kind of you know it's hard for everyone to kind of get playing time and that's just the way the cards have been following for someone like reese mcguire but yeah i mean i just. It's hard to say. It really is. Because i really don't know about you to how you feel about it. It's just i think it's it's hard for me to explain it. But i don't know if you guys really understand what i'm saying that i didn't criticize him for it but if he decided to do it I think we like obviously probably on paper on a matchup. It would be just better for the team if someone like all one hundred kirk off the bench or something like that. You know what. I'm trying to say so in terms of that but i just i don't see why to you know to hold him so accountable for that at all just the way. The game's going and even going back to what were talking about. Mark is it was frustrating in a different way than what we've seen before just nothing was going right and there was really no signs of ending changing other than the j.'s. Kind of you know having good contact getting unlucky. And that's why. I think part of me to maybe that had a re a reason for not to criticize him for that it. Just there's a lot going on with this one. I think the problem that i have. Because i don't really have a firm answer. Is that were really nitpicking. This way too much. I think we are and then if you want to. Even talk about today would walk him story. I'm in the third game. I mean it was six one. And i think i don't see how you blame him for bringing him in a game like that and then of course the other thing too is. They reacted very quick. They got the bullpen going. I think two batters later so i. I don't know what you want him to do..

"You'll get some of the stack. Gas numbers advanced metrics. They didn't treat him well. The argument then was well danny. Janssen isn't catching right. And his stats. Splits are so different with janssen behind the plate versus someone. Like reese mcguire albuquerque. It was danny janssen behind the plate in the first game of that double header. He was catching ryu in that. Game and review gave up seven runs in less than three innings of work so i was always skeptical on that argument. You can look at the numbers. Yes maybe it favors him in. Yes you look at the argument that like he just knows this guy better you know were you. It's very hard to think along with him on the mound but janssen does his best at doing that. You can make that argument. But it didn't work out this time. I really don't think that's the case with him. And i think it's a serious consideration like you. I think i hate to say it. But i think his status as a player his history as a pitcher requires him to be on that roster at the moment at least from what we know as much as i wanna be partial to the stats that we have in front of us and the trends from the last two months. He has been there before he's gone to the postseason countless of times with the dodgers he's lead them to the postseason in the first place so i would put him in that situation but at the same time i think the numbers over the next three weeks are going to be very dependent in that case the blue jays. Get to the lds or they get to the sob very interesting conversation to have later down the line but another thing to talk about you mentioned. It is vital mirror juniors sneaking up on the triple crown again. I think we'd all at the start of the season. We're all hopeful about it. We saw the stats even though if we didn't think they were sustainable. We were hopeful about it. He is creeping up into triple crown. Watch now again because he had his forty fourth home run of the season today so he is officially tied for the major league. Lead with shohei ohtani. He leads the american league in batting average at three nineteen. He's four points ahead of yuli. I believe it is who is in v Excuse me second place with a three fifteen batting average and then he is fourth in. Rbi he five back of jose. Break you who leads. Major league baseball tied for third. Excuse me with rafael devers. He has one two has one of seven and salvador perez is inbetween them so entirely possible. He is very close. You know if he has a good last few weeks. Shohei otani slow down a Safer salvador perez been really hop. I think he's slowed down as well in vlad heating up and staying hot so i think as far as average and homers go. I would on him finishing first in those two categories. I think the only thing that he might miss out on these rbi and we can talk about how much rbi doesn't matter but if we're looking at the crown of course it's important metric and i think it's possible i. I don't think it's going to happen. But i think it's very possible. It's very exciting to watch. And if you look at where we were with guerrero you know two three weeks ago in the middle of his very bad slump and our concerns about him and our frustrations with him It's nice to see him..

I think it's a situation where it's easier to look a hindsight's twenty twenty but i would like to see someone else in that situation thankfully didn't matter again nitpicking. Not a big deal there. But i do understand the criticism that because it's a pivotal moment in the game. If you give up those runs their nine ten times. You're gonna lose just so happened that the jays didn't lose but it was a big. I would like to see someone better pitching. Yeah that's completely fair and You know. I also had a few other things that i wanted to point out in terms of like a shout i thought braving flair had a really good series. I thought it was kind of kept under the radar in terms of that and he really stepped up some key situations. I mean we go back to the. It was the friday game the first game when the jase had that nine run and we haven't even gotten into that per yet and that it was another at electric part of the series. We see that pretty much throughout the series so bravely blair finishes with five hits a big. Yes so game-tying double on friday looking at it. Now he was tied the and then of course in the eighth inning Of yesterday's game on sunday he was the one that i got on base. And also reese mcguire.

"Now you can prioritize on china re robbie ray maybe re-sign markelle simeon as well. It's going to be tough to get both of them. But i think that. At least one of the to come back and i would definitely bank on robbie ray coming back more than marcus. Simeon than and if you walk in mark Robbery for next year. There's four solid guys right from the start. That's already a much better rotation this year and we're in july twenty twenty one. They're already checking off boxes for next year i'm just saying and they can also focus on the bullpen. We're going to get into brad hand in a sack. And i think it comes back to another thing with brad hand is that you know if people are gonna complain about giving up prospect riley adams or brad hand i mean. Are you okay with watching rafael. Delete entire chat with coming back pitching the eighth inning every game. Because if you are be my guess. But i would be that you'd be the first to know if you're one of those people that want those guys coming in and brad hand is a solid reliever who's at a solid career a three sixty four career average and i believe it was last year as well who led the league in saves or it was tied for the total. He's a solid reliever. Yes he's been up and down this year but he's also coming into a better team now and you know he's definitely going to be better and he's definitely better with the jays have and for giving riley is as well. It's a similar situation. you have. Gabriel moreno who is your top prospect. He's your third prospect now on the organization. You have reese mcguire one hundred hundred kirk danny janssen. You're also crammed in terms of your erdman Forty man roster with catchers. You know it's a good problem to have. It is and credit the ross atkins emerge mexico for rebuilding this farm system for creating these problems. But there's not room for every single one of these guys on this team and a couple of years and you have to remember the pieces that are already here like somebody like boba shop vladimir guerrero junior. Where are all these guys going to play. And we know that the field the outfield right now is also something that's kind of crammed and it was cramped coming into the season. You know. i just don't know why you know. They just can't make a trade without people being at peace with it and then if they don't trade like you're mentioning market burritos. Let's say he goes to the padres bluejays fans would be freaking out jay's missed out on this starter and then all the sudden it's back to the fire shapiro and atkins train and we've seen that for so many years. It's just you can ever win like you said but jose barea is going to come here and you just hope that he can pitch well when the fans over early and somebody that you gotta get used to..

"After that you have i think you have grischuk espinel and usually a d. h. H because they were in the international league park. But usually you'll have espinel grischuk Garri l. guys like that towards the end of the lineup and primarily all year. It's just been the catchers the ninth hitter whether it was. Danny reese mcguire one hundred kirk riley adams any of these guys and without hundred hurt. I think i think he deserves to be higher in the lineup. But i think at best he would be six or seven just simply because we also got to remember he is a righty and if you guys like having. Go hitting you're kind of going to give him a little bit of leverage just because he is a left to break up all those righties top half but maybe move grischuk down to seven th or an espinel down to eighth but even with espinel. He's actually a very good offensive season. he hitting three twenty right now in fifty five games so he's only played about half the games that the team has had although he has bounced around triple a. and the minor the major leagues but still he. In one hundred thirty plate appearances a three twenty average and a three sixty two on base percentage. Look with him. I i if you move him to move him down to the nine spot or something like that and you like switch him in kirk. I think he would have the same debate about whether Whether he should be up higher in the lineup. Something like that. But with that said i think that's just the nature of the blue jays lineup and the fact that it is so deep and you have so many guys guys that are good and then you have guys. That are just kind of surprising. You i mean santiago. I didn't expect them to be this good. I know he was. He had a good season last year. I didn't expect them to be hitting anywhere close to this. I was thinking maybe two fifty to sixty was realistic for him. He's hitting over three hundred. I don't think you move him down. And with one hundred kirke yes. Miss time Hitting two fifty five currently after overnight or only nineteen games. I think you the best option. I think is maybe just to leave him in the nine spot. Not because he doesn't deserve to move up but just because you have so many guys that also don't deserve to move down. And i don't think that deserve to move down should maybe be the way to describe it because i don't think any of these guys deserve to motion ingle lower in the lineup. It's just you have so many guys to the point where naturally when you piece together your lineup. There's going to be guys that are good hitters hitting lower in the lineup. Just because of how many good guys there are. And i mean look at even guri primarily hidden hitting in the eighth spotter. The seven spot. Very slow start to the season but he's currently Sitting with a to sixty six average same thing like at the end of the day. There's just way too many good hitters and that's not a bad problem. I had like. If you're in the world series i would take lord.'. Guerrilla junior as your ater. Allah hundred kirk has your ninth hitter santiago. Spas your seven hitter like those guys. I think could easily string together a rally and could be four or five hundred four or five but like four five six seven hitters on any other average or below average team but just because of how good the d the top five in the top six bluejays..

I think the one that you can do without the most is janson It would really baffled me. If i heard me say this in the beginning of the season but given the fact that re tends to balance out the batting order quite well just being a hint that he's at least reliable defensively. I don't think i've ever had an issue with him when it comes to defense. It's just the offense is hit or miss. But if you have kirk to sort of mitigate that and he can catch three out of the two in the rotation i just jansen needs to put it up right now and i just haven't seen enough. I haven't seen enough. That he can prove it and so far it. I'm surprised he's lasted this long. Because the roster spot is just not justifiable to me. But i think he still has minor league options so right now it is literally like you said you're he's eating a forty man roster spot along with those other guys that we have already of you know mold around in the there the fact that obviously the keep merano you know. He's got an answer for five one. I'm so confused. Why he caught ray on sunday. He hasn't caught them all year. I'm still confused there. There were some pitch selections. I didn't watch the whole game. Branded ended watch it that closely.

But i don't necessarily disagree that all hundred kirk assuming health with all of them assuming all of them at their best is probably the best on both sides of the diamond the best catcher. The blue jays has have right now. I don't think it's outrageous today. To say that reese mcguire is better with this team than danny johnson simply because of the left handed bat or is that the fact that he has shown her something. Actually to the bat. My a lot exac-. I was hitting. It was like okay. Great single single single single single. No extra-base hits so hurting you. You wasn't hurting. Us he wasn't a liability there. The order yes an tyler senate over the last month. I'm ready to shoot myself. I'm not saying this is gonna last. I'm not. I don't have faith that it will. I do. think that reese. It's only a matter of time before he. He ultimately cools down as you mentioned. He's probably already started. But i'm not sure that. I'm willing to trust danny janssen with the predominant role as catcher of this club and i also think that dan adjacent has outside of kirk of. We're looking at danny jason. Reese mcguire if you're going to trade one of them teams are probably clamoring for it. Any janssen not a reese. I don't think reason why are has any trade capital at all to liquidate at all. He could have been picked up by anybody and he wasn't months ago. Yeah i i don't i think. Mlb teams are well disciplined enough to know that like they're not gonna just by short hot streak from a catcher. That could have been picked up by eighteen team months ago right and i'm not trying to take anything away from them but i just don't see a future for dancing on this team that's going to push the blue jays into contention. I just don't see him as a integral piece of this team for their success. I don't know if you agree or disagree with that chris. I'll start because westwood ca me if i didn't bring this up. Because he was the most proud. I've ever heard of him. Come up with some thing with this. His bull. prediction was albuquerque. Will not be blue. Jay after the all star the sad thing is. There's some of that rumbling. Said sit on that for a second oud who catches then recently which is fine until merano is to go in six weeks right now. I'd rather have a chance of containing gabrielle. Marine rainy over the two of those. I'm taking kirk out of the offensive line. He just had surgery two days ago. Yeah so the problem that i see going forward with this team is you have five catchers on the forty man roster and you need a lot of help going.

"Evaluate come the all star break and kind of do a first-half wrap up show which will plan but yeah in terms of trading for a lockdown setup or closer or just any other high leverage. I'm will be allowed to get. Because that's what every team's after these days and i'm not sure they're in a position to truly mortgage the entire farm yet may be part of it. But as craig's point. I think you made the best one so far the beginning other window and yeah things haven't gone their way so far this year especially with the big hundred million dollar man and the closer we thought we were gonna get an elite level closer. We thought we were gonna get in all the injured. It's encouraging to see that they can somehow tread five hundred despite all that. But it's also frustrating to your point win the six last couple of weeks. You're right there behind the raise and in a wildcard spot right. Now so yeah. I don't know. I'm glad that none of us are gm's because that decision will be come trade deadline so on that note though if you were able to get that and you're looking for those guys. I don't know if you guys have been looking around at what we still have left on the farm for miley guys but there is a couple of guys that are still doing really good at the league level and i had their names in front of me. I lost him. Kirby sneed was one of one point four. era in buffalo A couple of other than that. I had as much fun watching as i would have liked to try watching. But there's a couple of guys that are in that like right around one. Era that might be on that tipping point of. Maybe they're okay. They're doing that while yelm shot. See what happens. What's the worst case scenario yet. Somebody like reese mcguire lia wave. I don't know yeah. I mean worst case scenario and my trying to this is straight up answering the question. Worst worst case scenario is maybe other teams are looking at them and they like what they see and they could be utilized trade bait but they come to the majors and they you know cough it up because of inexperience or nerves or what have you look at attractive. Well then if we're just trying to win ballgames you throw them out there and you don't get anything we're still in the same shit spot right right. No i hear you i. I don't know what the answer is. i really don't and i'm at the point now. You got to choose a path if you're as an office you had to choose whether you're all in or not because you don't get a guy like george springer to go in halfway right. It's sort of like how the raptors operated before they traded for hawaii. It was if you had a five percent chance of winning the championship. You make an all in move. So i know what they're two different sports and then will operate the same. Let's say if you had a ten fifteen percent chance of winning the world series all in there. I've said this last week. I don't think this is a playoff. I really don't. I don't think they are a playoff team. And i'm not even sure like bullpen piece or two..

"Have done that. In the statcast arab blue jays being one of them in every previous game the team scored twenty two or more runs. The blue jays scored five. It's just ridiculous what they did that game. And that was the toughest game to watch this season. Because of that was it charlie. Montoya's fault i say not at all in that game mondays entirely different conversation. But friday's game. You look at it. It's not one toya's fault. Ross stripling being there at the game and watching tv. I'm sure you can tell that. Stripling was getting hit. Really hard by the red sox batters coming into that. I think it was the sixth or seventh inning. He was starting to get hit around more. It was time to take him out of the game. We've talked about the blue jays bowl bullpen. They don't have many options to go to. And at that point tyler chat would probably the only option you can go with so i don't blame charlie montoya for that loss again. It comes down to the blue jays. Bullpen needs to be improved. It's kind of criminal at this point that the blue jays haven't made a move that ross atkins haven't has an added a reliever to this point so if anything that's who i blamed for this ross atkins see i. I kind of approaches differently. And i blame the entire team for that loss because there were sadly there were countless things that i that i noticed watching bluejays and thirty which you know that was. That was a sad one to watch the morning after. But the good thing is is. It showed all of the mistakes that i wanted to point out. So you mentioned tyler chat. Would he needed one out and he hit about her two batters he walked one and there was a wild pitch. First of all chat would was terrible in that game. But reese mcguire to. The the wild pitch was just slightly above his shoulder. That was one that he should have caught. And that i'm not gonna say that it was all reese maguire's fault but that was a big mistake and one of the the saddest thing about child chat with none of those runs were charged to him. They were all charged to ross stripling. Because he i mean technically he let the batteries on the basis and then when he left the game those were his responsibility. So i mean that's just the way baseball works. But if i'm rush tripling i'm saying you needed one. How do you not get that one out. And how like. How do you have zero command when all you literally need is three strikes or or one. Good pitcher one relatively good pitch to get a guy out but another problem in the top of the ninth. The blue jays had the bases loaded two outs rookie. Catcher riley adams who. I'm not too critical of just because he is a rookie but he foul he and a foul ball.

"Internship? A senior project. You eating class credits for this stent? Are you leaving for good? Just headed home for the summer semester in Rome. It's always the brains of the XR four ti I, Keith Arnold was the taunt cell. We can all see him, but we're not really sure what he does or why he's there. And Keith. I heard you played baseball at Notre Dame in 98. Well played isn't really the right word seeing if you had one appearance. One appearance for one inning. What do you do throughout the ceremonial first pitch? Were you the guy in terms of warming up the right fielder? In between any Did you shag foul balls and returning to the snack shack? Damn! Keith took some on his way out the door, didn't he? Not to jam a mike an indie clip in the middle of a Dan in Denver profile, But this Mike in indie sound bite. Got cut for time this past Friday, and since we're on the subject of Keith, why the hell not just double back and double down and play it anyway? Rome doesn't exactly have a crew of ass kickers. On the other side of that glass. You got hawking throughout his back putting on his shoes. Hollywood Just hit the dude. Dude. No, no soundbite, while Keith Arnold takes a hands off approach, just like he does every day at work. This guy works like he's got a guaranteed contract. I haven't seen him do a damn thing since he showed up. So back to Dan in Denver. I love a guy who's not afraid to go big game hunting. Because besides tattooing Keith he also took a really good run at the five time champ Shaunie. Look no further than the Cablinasian. He parlayed this thing into his own weekly show. Sean, you host the show once a week, then no one listens to. Who are you? The wood scope, son. You and I both get on CBS Airwaves a couple minutes a week were paid about the same to like How Sean stood up with Carbone last year wearing a Letterman jacket from two decades ago. Beer guts spilling out the front, so it doesn't zip anymore. 10 years between calls, bro. This isn't a high school reunion. You also rented a Ferrari for the night. People didn't even recognize you. They just whispered. That's the guy who used to be really good at calling a radio self Dan in Denver. Going off at 13 1 on stock nut could be some value there for a guy making just his third appearance at the main event. Finally, let's wrap this thing up. Matt in Vancouver. You know the deal with the belligerent Nuck. He is one of the two most famous reps from Canada. I want him to do as well as badly as he wants himself to do. Well, I'm not biased. I just want to prove the Canada Can hang. And I know for a fact that Matt in van can hang. You don't believe me. Just ask. Well, you guessed it. Keith Arnold. Good luck to Keith Man He's following in a long line of former crew members moving onto smaller and worse things. Will he end up like Kyle Brandt losing fake manufactured enthusiasm for some preseason NFL game? Will we end up like J Do picking up a Rodney Peete dry cleaning? We end up like those Mahdi doing whatever the hell those Mahdi's doing, Or maybe he's going to end up like Austin Huff who actually served me my coffee at Starbucks this morning, anyway, Keith, Good luck with one of the worst decisions of your life. That was an incredible grenade. They took out like five people, and it's not the first time that Matt van is piled up A long body count in a short period of time. Smack off season is upon us time to weed out the frogs. My man, namely Dan in Denver, who I called out for being a cowardly punk bitch over a month ago, we still haven't heard a peep from arrest My case and nice to see a cute little gift from left in Laguna Laguna Beach Belly get this free, too busy swapping Q tip techniques with Andrew Siciliano and Adam Silver to call the show. Front running bag. And as for this gas bag, Rick and Buffalo Rick, you look like an angry, screaming human Penis man, mixing a baseball cap. So my man clearly has the regular season jobs. We all know this. I've got to see him put it together when it matters most When it matters most. I'm taking this candidate he personally wrong. I'm a perpetual road team. I'm out, man. I'm outgunned, but I wouldn't want it any other damn way Rich, Just the jungles version of a mall. Cop of fat loser regardless, no respect at all. But it's pepper spray makes him feel like a tough guy. I don't know if this drizzle guy is good or not, but I do know Drizzle is the stupidest name I've ever heard talking about this 40 year old loser has done nothing but record your content for 20 years and put it on his own website.

What Dan in Denver, using a shaken up soda bottle as of the day, and I know you said numerous times. Mark in Boston could win a smack off and man. You're right. If left Vic Mike Jail, Benny Tyler and myself all pass away before the smack off and mark in Boston. Sure, as it has a chance. Can we get Jeff Liver smoothie and go ahead and send him the hell away against damn man? His palatial estate in Virginia?

"I'll be more optimistic so you guys have the by the looks of it. They're playing a four three game series against baltimore scientists. That's what you're looking at. Mark august thirtieth when it's when it starts and that goes into september one an off day and then we against oakland. I will go august twentieth. I'll say that the start of a one two three four five six seven game homestand between detroit for three and then the white sox for four. I'll be optimistic. Especially because right. After that they go to michigan they go back to detroit. It's close august twentieth. The blue jays return. I am calling it. unfortunately for weiner's july one would have been cool like i mentioned. That's not the case. It's not fun but august twentieth detroit. I'll make the prediction. I'll be more optimistic. It only makes sense. Because i was the most optimistic one at the start with you and jacob mark so i will continue to be that person but i am happy that you guys are now or at least you mark for sure that because i know that for sure. Is that you guys are finally on the train that it's pot. It's gonna look possible at some point this year and i'm sure jacob would agree with you on that one as well situation has changed a lot and i'm hopeful. We have to get jacobs opinion next week. But i'm let's talk actually about what happened in this series because of course it was a rough series logistic the first one. And then general you had his uncharacteristically bad outing in game. Two and game three. It didn't go as planned either Us talking about danny janssen because he is like we said day today probably going to go on the ten day i l. What does the blue jays catching situation look like. We know they have reese mcguire. On the twenty six man roster they can call up riley adams. Who's already been on the twenty six man roster this season. Although he hasn't appeared in a game they have gabrielle marino. Down in double a. He's i guess a long shot but technically a possibility especially given how well he's been doing. He's still raking down with the new hampshire fisher cats. So what is the catching situation. Look like from here you know. Can you just have reese mcguire riley adams and wait it out until under kirk comes off the injured list. Do you have to go out and make assigning of a guy like caleb. Joseph from last year that type of guy that kinda veteran who can come in isn't going to give you the production that you necessarily want but can bolster the catching situation. Do you call someone like wangaratta rural who i believe is still in aaa for the blue jays. What's the solution for them here. How do they bridge the gap. Until i'll hundred kirk gets back. And until danny johnson gets back you guys know like when hundred kirk coming back. Because i haven't heard much about that. Yeah i. I don't think we've really done updates from his rehab. It was supposed to be six weeks when he first went on the i l. got bumped up to the got bumped up to the sixty day. I also. i think it's like mid july or early july. The date that we had last. Yeah i was looking at riley adams stasi yesterday and in the nineteen fifty seven zero. Ps w But you don't wanna rush him and you know reasonable wire just going through the catchers you know reasonable guarino easy. He's not very good. You know and janson if he has to go on the i l. He's a good defensive. Catcher used topped iran stat us tops in almost all defensive categories for american league catchers so definitely be missed for the jays also lumbering along. I don't want to rush too much..

"So there's you know there's that he doesn't have a hate yet so it's really going to depend. We heard that reese mcguire was going to get into a lot of games in spring training to really try and re earn his position but it it really is going to depend on. Who performs who and alejandro kirk. I would say has the advantage as of right now. Considering what he did last year in the last. I think he got new ten games. So it's really going to depend on. Who outperforms who We know. Danny janssen's for sure making the roster. That's not a question but it's it really is going to depend on. Is reese mcguire. Able to not only prove that he's good and they can out allah hundred kurt but proved that he last season and the previous years where he wasn't hitting as well really were an outlier and he's able to perform at least league average if not better. I'm i don't know. I like to think like we have all the answers but i really don't know what the blue jays do with this because obviously they don't wanna lose reese mcguire and one hundred kirk only played nine games in the majors but at the same time it looks a whole lot like maguire might be a dud and kirk might be star. So it's like it small sample size all that stuff. But i'm i'm really leaning towards albuquerque and you know whether they try to send reese mcguire down and he gets claimed off waivers by someone. I'm willing to take that risk. I don't know if he really will get claimed off waivers because he hasn't shown himself to be a good catcher in the majors. Of course he talked about his defensive skills. But i don't think even that's really going to any offensive problems that we know he has so i. I don't know that's my question. I don't know what the blue jays are going to do. But i have very hard time envisioning a situation. Where reese mcguire takes a spot from kirk if the blue jays.
