"When it comes to him it's it's quite an experience and it's definitely have to be drinking a lot of odd gar. Whatever the best choices for vladi in his crew to make that seem like it's palatable or that he's actually a professional racing driver but hey they make up the back of the grid. They're willing to pay the trillions of dollars to race and make themselves make fools out of themselves on weekly basis and let people like me who liked upon. Kate goof on people. Like ed go and speak about is is amazing ability to suck on a weekly basis which he is consistent at an has been his whole life so Four more races of him doing that this year. Many more years of him doing that until haas folds but yeah I'm just glad that the stewart haas cars are running well in the nascar race right now because if not to be a pretty ugly situation for Gene and all the hundreds of millions of dollars. He wastes to run tailback. Never never ceases. Surveys fills dumps about half. And i would love to see it out though you know how they have the the st was investigating or like a black and white flight for so much the clown flag the knock-on of benign. That's what i wanna see it itself not just be an egg with his face a superimposed on it and then then you'd be like oh that's me i need to move over. Then he might actually respected instead of the stupid blue flags because he can't see them or he must be colorblind that might be as excuse So if you put an egg with his face superimposed on might move out of the way better appreciate that he was gonna let of place on lap one and then he was yeah laps and lost by twenty by this consistently concerning four laps of that was under safety car as well. What did he shut his car off. Pitstop everyone else is people anyway but maybe was their pit. Stop for an hour. Like how do you can six laps. I mean i mean i know. He's he's horrible but it's like six laps. I mean i get a short lap there. It's not like red bull ring. Words like literally a minute in a couple of seconds. You have to do a little bit of work. He probably gets kind of his fourteen laps from the restarts him being laughed and he was at eleven three loss. Was it fifteen a lot. Yeah but so. It's about five five and a second the mop. Yeah well approach. He's gonna get lap like five six times this week coming weekend at brazil then at that rate even show. Yeah and he's going to get in a way of maximum stop and using the waiver stopping. You might go on o'connor which would be great for for the world championship. And that fight would be hilarious to to see max for stop in yasser stopping and then the mass weapons for the dushi as people on earth all sitting together. That would be great. Come here come the aiders.

"Yeah no that. That's what scares you about them. In in the playoffs right is is they. They haven't had a lot of consistency as you said they'd been the best team or they've been the one of the worst teams in the league and so you get into the playoffs You don't is not that they can't win. You just don't know what to expect from you. Can't it's hard to predict exactly what you're going to get from them. So i just think when when it comes to a team like the yankees I if their offense isn't doing what they needed to do it's going to be. It's going to be tough. It's going to be tough warm and I just don't know that they have the dependable. Starters that that you would need you know aside from from garrett cole In order to compete in a deep run in the postseason. Yeah and it's been. It's been a little worrisome about that team but they do have the top slot with seven to go one game above boss this this series coming up against toronto is is their chance to kind of put some separation between them and everybody else It's but at the same time for toronto. I think we find out who they are. This is one of the. This'll be one of the biggest series because they follow that with the baltimore orioles who they're baltimore so you you know what that that series is going to likely end up back but This is a big series for both teams. Oh for sure if toronto can win this series against the new york yankees. We are going to be sitting. We're going to have toronto in the playoffs. They are currently one game behind the boston. Red sox and by the way all you nineties fans out there the seattle mariners are two games out there till games out. I want it to happen so bad. Tony so so bad i want. I want to run on seattle to get these top two slots so bad just because it would be different and it would feel like a bit of the changing of the guard in baseball for me. And i do think i quite frankly i'd welcome it. I wouldn't be mad at liz. I always like enjoy seeing good teams. Get in. I have a personal connection. With the mayor's mad tie francis over there got traded from san diego to seattle and at the time it was like man. You're going from a really good team to a really bad team last year and a year later is it's that team is is ahead of where we're the padres are and still pushing for A playoff spot. And you know that team it would it would be. It would be cool to see. Both of them in the The toronto blue jays narrow. We'll give it a different feel for shore. Both squads are are really young Love love crawford over there at shortstop kind of coming into his own You got the grizzled veteran seger. In his last year on his deal over there it it makes for for gray storyline and people will tune in to watch. Yeah and i know i would. And and at the end of the day after that mock brawl. That took place last week. I am clamoring for a raise blue jays. Lds series so so very bad. I just wanna see it and listen. I'm really excited going into this last week. Like we mentioned this the fact that we have we. We got a separation of literally three games. That is separating five spots the two spots. That's just incredible between five teams. It's just this is where baseball is at. Its best and you better believe. My eyes are all over this new york yankees and blue jay series. I'm fired up. There's nothing else to say about it. Other than i'm fired up but i do. I did look at the rundown. And i want to mention something that our producer dylan put out there and this is what i love about this thing because you just i know. He didn't mean it this way but i read it as this guy is so mad that he's a mets fan because he just wrote down if you had to put a percentage of what chance he would give the blue jays to make a late push like one hundred percent there one game out man there one day right there that screams. I hate that. I'm a mets fan. It's one hundred percent does. It is not a surprise. We know our producer dylan puts wears his heart on his sleeve when it comes to his medicine as you said they have packed it in but yeah the the percentages is as you said. It's one hundred percent they will make late push does late push being get in. I don't know we'll find out. But i certainly think They got a good chance in here in. This is their opportunity this series against the yankees I think we'll tell us all we need to know about the blue jays in terms of. Are they ready to make that next. Big step yeah and all those people that are sitting around clamoring for vladi junior to be the mvp. Which by the way anyone who thinks that you're wrong. But i will say that person on that team. I'd actually say who has mixed just as much of a cases. Vladi is marcus simeon the year. Having right now. I mean you could say everything one about vladi. Simeon right now is about to set a new record for home runs by a second baseman major league baseball. It's been around for one hundred fifty years he's gonna break a record that's existed for one hundred fifty years. He's going to be the best ever at that. I mean that's just incredible to me that we actually are getting this. I mean talk about plan your best baseball when you need to. I mean the blue jays is needed him. He's going into free agency. There's just so much that lines up for him And as you know what has been fun to watch he. He's not your prototypical superstar like he discount goes about his business and plays the game and he seemingly has gotten better and better and better and right now. He's playing as well as he's played ever. I think in his career question for you. Tony going into the final week of baseball. What are you hoping for. What are you hoping to see. Breakout with this wildcard and more importantly what do you think is going to happen with. This wildcard oke. What i think will happen with the american league east wildcards specifically the american league. Wild-card what do you think is going to happen. And what do you want to happen because those could be very different. I would love to see some crazy fourteen. Tie at the top where you get like a one sixty three one sixty three And then you have to go into your wild car. You know that would i. It's your first wildcard game. I would love to see a large tie at the thing. What i think what happened. I ultimately think the yankees. And i think the blue jays get in. I think they find a way to get into this playoffs. I think ultimately they'll still in the season with baltimore. And i know anything can happen in baseball but as long as i think. They don't get swept by the yankees. I think they'll find a way to get in because of those last three games against baltimore. I like it and what you said when you said what you were hoping for tony. Have you been reading my diary because yes. That's exactly what i want. I want a four way tie. And i want the four way tie to be decided with a game. Six one sixty three into the wild card game my goodness it would just be the greatest thing that ever happened. However what i think is going to happen. Is i agree with you on the blue jays. I do think the blue jays are going to.

"Was there anything else. Sorry craig go head to that point about you mentioning that. He's not the we need to be but he doesn't need to be a semi more at the moment. We just need him to get us some solid innings if he gives me five innings next start a couple of runs against yankees and we can actually manage to get some offense. It's still win. Yeah that's right now. yeah. I'm just. I'm not a fan of it to start off because then you had to win. The next to your cushion is gone leg. Especially he's performing the way he has been. Your cushion has gone. I like the idea. Starting bats if we can find that out mats and that would have been like filled up against that. That's interesting and i thought so. Berea starts friday right. And then you go ray manila. You have your off day. Monday and you go to matt's that puts brio and line for wednesday that would be short rest for potential. Gave one sixty two so. I'm not sure how they're going to manage that. And that would actually lineup. Stephen matt's for the last game of the regular season which would be interesting at that point. So yeah they have some tough calls to make in terms of what's going to happen with the way they lay out the rotation. But i don't know guys. I mean the twin series. I think that went just as we expected. I think we all hoped for sweep. Just because they're weaker opponent. Real obviously didn't start very well. Josh donaldson burn them quite a bit on friday. And everybody's was starting to think just say it was right. Yeah right again saturday. When they got off to their early lead to run homer again. Like oh shit. This guy is going to single handily. Keep them out of the postseason and he has another opportunity to do it again for four games this week at his home ballpark by i don't know. Is there anything else you guys wanted to add onto the twin series. They're pretty as expected. Maths went pitch. Well and saturday burritos pitch well on sunday during nfl. Sunday and whatnot or anything else. You wanted to add onto the twin series. Now it was nice little. I don't want to cushion but is exactly what the need and coming out of this series. Which i'm sure we're going to get into a four game. Stint against minnesota is exactly what the jay's need to this right yup hundred percents. I just wanted to point out a point here. That was a. I think a little bit bigger than sports that was going on in the rogers centre which styles and coming home. I don't know if you guys saw that highlighted them changing vladi and him. Changing jesse's at church cool things i've ever seen you know baseball players. Don't do that as such a football thing. And it's been a basketball a little bit too. But the fact that they took not only the jersey exchange but they took time to sign each of their jerseys before they exchanged. I thought that was really cool and Was that the official passing the torch that we didn't get yes during the fact that we didn't get to see josh donaldson and his last season as a blue jay so it was really really cool and then as what is it sucks. Lose that the twins. I am not shocked that he went off during that series. Johnson's career in the rogers centre has been something incredible even before he was a blue jay playing with those few series against the oakland a.'s..

"A hot take. No it's not a heartache. He said it that way because like it's almost like people are afraid or will argue that a west coast team outside of mike trout and shohei otani could have like the best anything like mookie betts. Yeah whatever there's guys over here that are that are as good just not. It's not sexy for one of the best players to be on the oakland a.'s But it's real. It's very very feel that way. And i think we're getting away from that. I think we're getting away from people. Fans not acknowledging good good players in the west coast good players on small marketing. People knocking shohei ohtani because the angels suck like those people exist they breathe air that other people could be breathing like they're gonna fight that because of the team what you sound like absolute ask clown like there's no way you can watch not olsen do what he does an watch any other baseball and think that there's multiple people that are better than him at what he does ostensibly defensively. Not that vlad as anything to write home about. But he's gonna be in the conversation. But i mean it's it's vladi. Muncie freddy freeman mandelson. That's the conversation. Whatever order you wanna put them in they. Obviously the conversation obviously starts with vladi. But after that. Like muncie. Mattio freddy freeman who defensively at all those dudes. Oh it's no question you're taking mandelson. That's not even like an opinion. I think everyone everyone would take matt olsen number one defensively. I would. Yeah who wouldn't would so from there. It's and i've just. I've always been this way like. I don't get enamored with the insane ridiculous offensive output like. I'm a fan of balance. I appreciate a full and complete ballplayer. And when i say full and complete if five is is median. Okay is gladis offense. A nine point five but his defense a four point five. If so i give you a point. And a half offense to raise his defense appoint and a half to make him just slightly above average and give me still a killer killer at bat every time. Be the power threat. He's going to be maybe he's not going to be a triple. A perennial triple crown threat. But you're telling me he's not a liability defensively and i'm not saying glad liability defensively. I'm just saying raising the completeness of a ballplayer..

"Oh my god. They are hyping hot in twelve of their last thirteen. They are just annihilating teams and they had their way with the baltimore orioles on the weekend. That's to be expected at twenty two runs in that last game double digits. I think in every game and just the way. They're lighting it up at the plate it's phenomenal but when the tampa bay rays of the opponent you're thinking okay. They'll keep things close to the end of that run. Maybe a at the best team in the american league. No the jays kept it going and mold tampa bay in the opener of their series against them. The three gamera here in the in the early part of this week and just right. Now the jason. Let's put this thing into historical perspective. First of all they're fifteen two fifteen into run yup. They're batting three twelve with four forty. Three home runs in that seventeen game stretch in september alone. Three home runs. Yeah so in the month of september alone batting three thirty one. Get a load of these two numbers in september alone. Thirteen games batting three thirty one. Thirty six home runs. No team has done that in this century or the last one in a thirteen game. Run so just a nominal. Wow yeah just like why i. I wonder what happened. I wonder what happened. Like teams can be a little flat right. There were going from there from vladi. Having a having a bad run bouchette not not playing every game to. Oh i was watching the king the other night and i like the guy Showman right tv canaan guy ranked. Does dan schulman. Dan schulman i. I love that guy you know. And i always have the game on tv. As i told you when i'm home i've always got it on although maybe not sitting in front of it and all i heard was that that high pitched voice his when he go. He's go like this and internet is hit another run you know and that is that is five hits now in one game. Vladi now forty four. Yeah i got the volume up. You know it was just like every every call was this. This is unbelievable. What they're doing what it is crazy. How they really about all the all. The bats right. That's the answer when everybody's mashing at the same time as the jays are this is the result of an it rarely happens there lightning in a bottle. Whatever cliche you wanna use. But it's just been phenomenal to watch and think about where they were..

"He's been through this before. The astros yasser has been wild races. They've been division races type playoff game. So this is a guy you can lean on and a guy you should lean on especially with the race coming up they still. I think when we were going through the schedules. Austin is now done with tampa. It seems like the yankees only one series left tampa between now and the end of the year. We have the most race games out of those three teams so we need them for those series and i would like him to play in those six race games. Yeah right now. I'm the offense ain't broke. I don't need him in the moment. So i'm trying to find a way that at least he's available for a the Situation leading the ballgame. I tomorrow maybe through the weekend just so that you know there's somewhere to get them in our play. A game ran. William there I want him next week. Ready to go. Is betsy kennedy h spot but right now there's enough hot hands that i fled offense go until the wheels saul often need him back in that catalyst role to spin offense. Backup right. now. There's enough things going right that i'm him to get a few days off and get as close to right to to the point. That brand needs him to have them through those race games. That's my but then again. Like i said i love kim kirk so there is that well i mean i think i fall in the same sort of general area with you guys except I'm a little bit more lenient in I towards playing it safe Look at this we already got the split against the yankees. That's not to say that anymore wins. Wouldn't be beneficial for the blue jays. Of course they'd be advantageous. But i don't know that you need him against baltimore. And i just i don't they do especially with we'll we'll talk about more in detail later but with how kirk has been playing lord has woken up. Vladi seems to be back bulges. Looks like he wants to murder the ball. And oh yeah. Simeon is by far the best. Marcus s that has ever played in period. Homs so yeah. I don't know that you need them. I don't know that you need to rush him back especially to finish out if they win tonight. You don't need him tomorrow agreed if they lose. I don't think you necessarily yeah. I don't think you necessarily need him. And if you can battle through the orioles which you should be able to use shooting yes you should be able to at least win three. Save them for tampa at home. Let them come on. Because then you have a rest day right after that. That thursday before facing the twins at home again and then you have tampa bay right after that. So i say restroom wrestling until monday and take it from there and just as long as these bats remain hot on you can pummel. The orioles had give yourself some confidence against tampa bay and then tampa bay all. Hey you got george springer. I mean typically doesn't give a shit they're gonna win the division anyway. They might even win..

"Out there. Okay that's something too. That's something to consider but the comfort and the success of the team right now in the trajectory of the team. Right now is what makes that decision for charlie morton. Easy my life. Yeah congrats to chuck mo- Junior has got forty tanks. Doesn't doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because the shohei ohtani show rolls on he's going to win the mvp. Salvador perez. who. I o n knowledge what you do. Own apology sal. And i'm glad you're going to give that to him. But we skip over vladi hitting forty. We got to put some respect on him and his dad's name because they are just one of two father son duos to ever hit forty tanks in the same season. We're not in the same season. But for forty teams that in the same season editor joining prince fielder and sessile filter vladi is going be of lad vlad. He's going to be a. I'm seeing megi type. Shit flashes of mickey type stuff from vlad right now like sunday. I think it was three balls the other way. Nice and easy being one off the end still looked like it was barreled mildly and it was just because that's where the pitch was the field on the right side was opened up and he just hit the whole just as easy as like you got the sense that if he were to take that approach every time he could hit seven hundred. That's just what it felt like. No it's not true. But that's just what the reason i draw that compares to mickey is because mickey's the gold standard when it comes to him and pools cutting the swing down and taking what's pitched and taking the game is giving you and to see vladi. Hit the ball as hard as he does because he's in the top when it comes to exit velocities in the top when it comes to barrels per plate appearance like the dude hammers the baseball so for him to have the ability to just use the other field and shorten it up. It's kind of scary to think about because a hell fucking good. The kid is already junior. Is what twenty two. Yeah probably twenty two. And he'll these he won't turn twenty three until maybe like two or three weeks before opening day next year so having a forty home run season. I wanna i wanna see an actual list. Hitting forty home. Runs in a season is impressive. No matter how old you are but to see a list of guys who have hit forty home runs at twenty two or younger. That's gotta be a smallest what it's probably chock-full a horse. Yeah i never. I don't think you can hit forty as twenty two old vladi as it sets today. Two hundred twenty eight balls hit ninety five miles an hour or harder from him. The next closest has two hundred and thirteen. You wanna take a shot at who. That is wait. Say that again. Don't cheat i'm no. I was googling. Googling bonds are not baseball referencing bonds to see how old he was when he hit forty for the first time he was twenty eight. Yeah two hundred. Thirteen is the second highest number of balls. Hit ninety five miles an hour or harder this year Do you know who that person is. Who's number one. I told you who's number one. Vladi stanton you an apology. Which we're gonna let you get salvador press you've.

"You know what's the situation that. Hopefully we're going to be doing good enough on those. You know the other four rotation pieces. Hopefully i don't want to say it. But even tanner roark is looked. Okay can hurt. But i really think that's where you gotta be hanging your hat. We're hoping to get goodness through one through four that right now you minds will just play the wild card in that fifth spot and hope that stripling whoever can fill in that spot and that boy just enough the hammer down there. It's a fifty fifty chance to win every night because the other catch on that to us guys. We've talked about this if we can hold somebody within three or four runs every night. This is gonna be a very interesting team just because of the fact that we have the ability to score easily that every night. And we've been seeing it with the dusting that we've seen in most spring training games when the regular lineup is in it. How many hits vladi have the other night or the other day and four hits and then the rest of the offense scored seventeen runs as it's like okay. That's that was against major league stars that the beginning of that game anyways so there is something tangible there that we just enough in that fifth spot. I'm not saying bring josh towers out of retirement..

"Jays are hanging around hanging around the wild card race. Love to see that and vladimir guerrero junior. I want to close with him today. Just the statue. Just continue to be eye-popping gaudy as all get out thirty one dong's seventy eight. Rbi those are pretty smooth stats for a complete season. That's a hell of a season but it's july eighteenth and there. i think i'm not positive to the number. But i believe there. Seventy two games left for the blue jays already. I'd say yeah. There's only twenty blue jay players in history who've had thirty one homers or more in a season vladimir guerrero is the twentieth and he only needed this many games to get there still a seventy two to go. Yuck coleman go. I'm a i'm ajay's fan. Is you know i watch a lot of the games. I always have it on the host fantastic. I like those. I like squad. Stevie and they're they're getting more and more and more and more exciting each game from your cells to your to your dawn. I them dante. That's his dad.

"Has twenty eight and he's third in slugging consider. I know it's only half a season. But i'm willing to say that this is the type of hitter that grow junior is and he's not he's not going down. He's an e this is what he is and he's he's going to stay this this at this level and i consider that to be a comeback. You look even last year. His defense you say okay. Well as offense was decent. Say to seventy to sixty average is necessarily bad but considering that you're expecting three forty average or that you're getting three forty average this season you were kind of expecting something closer to that or at least three hundred and aside from his offense defense. Last season was okay. I mean like there was someplace where you'd make some errors. A lot of them were intuition based where he should have gone to the base instead of played the ball or or whatever but this season. It's a complete turnaround. And i think he has one or two errors and i think those plays were on ones where it was like a bobble but it was. It was a tough play for him to make any ways. But regardless you look at a lot of these plays like if you watch a lot of the games and if the numbers don't won't reflect this they won't say like oh perfect catch by vladi but if you go look and watch those games you'll see that there was a play where it should have been an error on third baseman or the shortstop or second baseman or somebody else on the infield and he caught up all and he's his defense has improved so much the point where maybe you can argue that. He's a gold lover. I don't know depends. But i think considering what we expected from vladi last season what. He didn't do last season and what he was able to do. This season after putting all that work in the offseason. He's got to be the comeback player..

"With states three colon cancer last year and he worked his way back from that and now he'll be in the homerun derby on monday. I got a chance to catch up with them on thursday trae. What's the best advice you've gotten about participating in the derby. I honestly haven't gotten too much advice yet on my talk to- vladi the other day though when i was on first base and You know he said other than just enjoying it. you know. that's the most important thing. No matter what happens. You gotta soak it all in and and it's such a cool experience but He said it can get pretty tiring. So you know. I don't know if that means you know taking a little bit less of an effort level out of the swings or things like that Obviously still wanna hit it. Heart and far says why people are watching. But i'm trying to pace yourself. Maybe taking a break at the right time. But it's something. I haven't thought about too much yet. Who's throwing to you. And why so. The pitching coach at notre dame. His name is chuck restano his first year. There was my first year there During the twenty eleven season. So i promised him back then that he can throw to me if i was ever if i was ever in the major league homerun derby he threw me in the big east homerun derby in twenty twelve and we won that. So kind of jokingly kind of serious. I told him that he can throw to me immediately. Derby if it ever happened and and sure enough it did so. He's going to be the ones around. Tell me what that phone call or text messages. Liked to to deliver to him. To ask him to participate. It was great We keep in touch a good amount. And i called them and and i don't think he was sheriff. It was good news or bad news since i was calling him. Obviously i've been through a lot in the last year and a half and getting to call them with that news that it was good news that i was asking him to throw him in. The roman derby was really cool. I think he was fighting back tears a little bit. He was in the airport recruiting. Actually he was on the way back to south. Bend when i call them so you know him and you've also watched the derby. Sometimes it can come down to. How nervous the beef injuries Do you think you'll handle that. I think will handle a great. He's practicing a lot and and You know. I think he can handle the spotlight and handle it really well. And he's said that your job is if you'd be as the p. pitcher is to be invisible as possible When you're out there a little bit even though. He deserves a lot of the spotlight as well. But i think he's going to be great. What's your typical beat me regiment. So typical bp. I'm never really trying to hit to hit too. Many home runs in bp. I'd say on. Normally i just kinda do a progression and then maybe the last couple of rounds let it loose a little bit but obviously homerun derby you gotta let it loose from the get. Go especially with the timer. So there's no there's no punching it through the four hold. The beginning and kind of progressing in homerun derby. You got to be ready to go. So i'll make sure to do that in my warm beforehand and then be ready to go when render starts what your sweet spot in decaying. I'll be like right down the middle all kinda hit it wherever i actually like going up a lot. Mvp to center center in. Apo but i think you know. I'm probably gonna ask for a little bit in on the inter- half of the plate is probably where i'm going to want for any kind of strategy that you've thought about not too much Honestly i i haven't really thought about it too much since we have a few games left before the break and i've been more concerned about that just as my swing hasn't particularly felt amazing The last few weeks in the game. So you know if the thing's true about some people think that the homerun derby can mess up your swing. I you know right now. I'm hoping that it's the opposite. My swing doesn't feel great. Maybe it will give me locked in and right for the second half here. So how much have you practiced a coach. Restano's in south bend so we're not really getting to practice until that day but Darren homes are bullpen. Coach is going to go out with me one day. And we're going to kind of we're gonna practice. And i'll get the pacing down and do that a little bit so i am going to practice year this weekend at some point but i haven't yet. What does it mean for you to get this. Invite this year given everything has gone on for you. It's really special. I was a little surprised her. When i got the invite but at the same time it was something that i no doubt wanted to do it. So the in event that i watched every year growing up it was one of my favorite things of the year. I was always at the beach with my family watching the homerun derby and all star game every year so There is no doubt about it that i wanted to do this. And and for the bigger picture. I wanted to do to inspire people to let you know that You know even a year. After getting diagnosed.

Believable they need we need. We need hero in this area and it could be the blue jays. Well i mean this this sort of. I don't want to call back to whether or not. This team is a playoff team. I just think the just having sort of the levity of having them back at all even if they aren't chasing playoff games at that point. Let's just say come mid august. They're out of it. Which isn't that much of an impossibility. But it's it's you know it's on the table. I think people in toronto or in the surrounding area. The gta will be more than happy to have something to do right. Have somewhere to go into to sort of. It celebrate washing their teen their only enormous team. Yeah like had that sort of normality back in their lives. I think important i. I can't really comment when it comes to the safety of it and what science is telling The the local governments of the provincial governor. I am not a scientist. So i don't have that data in front of me so i can't really make that decision but i'm not denying the fact that this is a political game at the vaccination rates are as good as you say they are no reason to doubt you. I mean here in the states where it's open season for basically everything right so i don't see a bike just for just for a little context i'm gonna say on average there's been twenty five to thirty cases maybe twenty will go on a broader range. There's been twenty five to thirty five cases a day in toronto. That's crazy good. That's really good. And their step two of the reopening settled.

Are you concerned a with the turf and be that the shuffling and now playing in a legitimate major league ballpark not say anything bad about salan outstanding job. But i'm just saying you know offense. Production might be a little dwindling. Are you concerned now with moving back because some of these players have not played in toronto. Like fun fact. Joe panic. Never played a game in toronto. Right semi-in as the best player that ever now play in the trial or something like that. The did not mean. He's played games in toronto. But not as a blue jay. So i maybe george springer is a bad example. But we're having breakout players. Like bo. Like obviously vladi. We've seen do it. So maybe he can you know. Pick right back up but lord is are we do. We have concerns with these players at home. Multiple games in big league ballpark. Personally i think it's going to help him..

Bs analytics is his game. What do you got for me anthony. I know people keep talking about shohei otani. But i really don't think we can talk enough about what he's doing the season it's made even more crazy by comparing him to his peers. Let's pitching surpise. Great obviously to fifty eight. Era fifth in the american league. Better than garrett. Cole and tyler glass now. His strikeout percentage of thirty three point one percent also fifth better than lucas g lido opponents hitting one eighty eight autumn. Better than yu darvish including an absurd. Oh eighty-six against his splitter as a hitter easily not only to show. Hey lead all of baseball extra-base hits he's only behind vladi junior and fernando. Todd s- junior opie and slugging. Going deeper he leads the league in barrels and barrel rate and his average exit velocities only behind guys like judge vladi a kunia and machado while his heart hit percentage. The number of it's above ninety five miles. An hour is only behind judge. But that's not all. He's one of only three players this season with twenty homers and ten steals joining totti's and kunia and he's a sprint speed of twenty eight point nine feet per second. Anything above thirty is considered a lead faster than guys like what airfield cedric mullins and trevor story. Plus he'll be the first japanese-born player and first pitcher in the homerun derby in a few weeks in colorado. He's a unicorn he's captain of the varsity team. He's literally doing all money into more money. Now it's time for betting on the basis with dave guess guy love that money that money rob. We got some interesting games over the weekend. Fridays menu looks awfully good dodgers or in dc against the nationals padres and phillies from philadelphia. And the mets and the yankees. I know new york. The mets that is they've been led by jacob degrom. He's not pitching in this ball. Game on friday they're going up against garrett cole though they been laboring as the late yankees only a couple games over five hundred. I'm not gonna touch them at all this weekend series games that will be looking at first off. I'm looking at the angels and orioles. That game is in anaheim. I'm taking the angels in this one. Shohei ohtani continues to swing a red hot bat on taking the team in that affair. Taking the giants there in arizona it gets the diamondbacks. Alex will be thrown for san francisco in that context. And i'm also taking the chicago white sox. They're on the road against your lowly detroit tigers lance. Lynn is on the bump seven three this season. Era two oh six. I'm taking the white sox and the victory in that one as well pay cash. It's time for trash. Talk twitter wing with your chance to trash anyone or anything in major league baseball. This week's trash comes from the bronx. Da ro annex from 'em brown at pro meal one six one and he is not happy with google gate and he tweeted me. This the yanks got scammed by garrett cole for three hundred twenty four million dollars no sticky stuff. Now he's back to who he was in pittsburgh and i'm pissed if you wanna have your trash on the podcast. Hit me up all my twitter at rob parker f s one. When rob was a newspaper columnist he lived by this motto. If i'm writing i'm rippin. Let's bring in a writer. Broadcaster older new i. Now let's welcome to the program brandon. Carr who is a content reporter for mlb bro dot com and. He has a piece on the website today. July first of course is bobby bo. Nia day brandon. Welcome to the podcast and tell us for all the people who don't know why today is bobbi baena day. Could they say it's a special day especially people of color for outsmarting a million getting one over on the man so bobby bruyneel Back in nineteen ninety nine. He was old. I'm gonna say almost six million dollars. But due to the mets being involved with bernie madoff find schemes. They didn't have the money to pay them so basics like oh man we just work a deal get you away from us man you over one point. Two million dollars Starting in twenty eleven for twenty four years and we give you eight percent interest rate or whatever so they use thinking you know the cost on price inflation or whatever may be down. I mean i'd be up or whatever so it's like a gamble and he's like you know what i think they're doing. Whatever long story short how. He's one of the mets are highest. Paid player still. He hasn't played baseball for the nineteen ninety nine. So it's a gorgeous day for black baseball players. It is crazy that the mets could make a deal brandon where they owe somebody five point nine million and instead from twenty eleven to twenty thirty five. I mean this is twenty twenty one. He still has fourteen years and on july first year. It's going to get one point nine million dollars a year. I who who in the world could have come up with this idea when you when you do your research and you were writing your story about this. Did you scratch your head and say how did this happen or give all products to say about it here but which is agent. I think his name was like a demon gobert. and hopefully. that's his name and He he had coding office and he was just working out in the negotions. Whatever with the organization he was like you know what compensated with here and he was down for the for payments. And at the time you know it was it's not really new for players of that magnitude and a half of furry payments. But like i said he was like you know what i'll take it. It is what it is. I have the money for the future. Honey right now has some money. When i'm old man and like i said this can't you're rich and he looked like agendas right now. So you gotta give it to him and give two days and there's no doubt about it. I may not see bobby boondi. Every so often at all star games and see him around always has a big smile on his face and for good reason because anybody who could broker a deal like this and and still have another eleven years to go is pretty amazing but thanks for that piece on.

"I mean when i look at the standings you know we've talked about this. Are the blue jays. Going to be better than the raise. Next year i could happen. I think that's probably the biggest competition i mean. The the yankees are still going to be decent. You know they were both them and the blue jays made the playoffs last year. Actually there was only one game Between the two of them with the yankees having one extra win. But that's probably the most accurate prediction. I'd i mean ninth. In the league really depends. I mean any normal year that means they make the playoffs but even this year with In twenty twenty. I think the instead of having. What was the sixteen team playoffs this year. They're looking at maybe fourteen or twelve something less than sixteen so ninth bassin's that you know they make the playoffs. I mean do. I think ninth is accurate. I don't know it really depends on how. How big a lead. The bluejays take this year. So you ask for the two players that were called out in terms of charleena montoya vladimiro junior. I think it's interesting with montoya because it seems as if so many aspects so many people within the media whether it's a manager of the year voting last year this year their predictions a buck. Martinez has said that. He predicted a ton of votes. Would go charlie's way. I think you know maybe there are a lot of things that maybe we are a little. I don't know if two is the right word you know. Maybe maybe i'm the one that has it wrong. Maybe he is a lot better manager than i think but Watching watching him every day. It's just there are. He's not a terrible manager. And i think the players do really like him. But i think there are a lot of ways but he could improve as for vladi. Mvp seems a little bit farfetched. Think he you know he. He's a good player. He's been putting in a ton of work in the off season. I don't think we can discredit that. He's seems as if every couple days a new story poster new instagram post of him. You running or something but it honored to be the mvp union to you. You need to take a massive leap forward which he could do. You think he is. A very good player has a very high ceiling. Obviously he was projected to be very good even his rookie days with the number one prospect in baseball before he came up. But.

What Made the Prehistoric 'Hell Ant' So Diabolical?
"Hey brains of is Christian, Sager here fire ants, carpenter ants, bull ants there. A lot of ant species that can cause a great deal of harm. The worst one alive today about two Guinness World. Records is the bulldog ant. It has killed at least three human some within fifteen minutes. But perhaps, the worst aunt ever was the hell aunt, a prehistoric insect that was recently discovered encased in a chunk of Myanmar amber dating to the late. Cretaceous period evolutionary. Biologist Phillip Barden of the Jersey Institute of Technology and his team wrote about the Hell Aunt discovery in the journal systemic entomology. The hell aunt got its name from its anatomy and behavior instead. Of having a typical mouth, the hell aunt had blades that stuck upward think like tusks plus a horn that was reinforced with metal scientists don't know for sure how the hell used. It's unusual appendages but they have some theories i. it clear that the ants tusks and horn were mainly used for catching prey. So here's one possible mo when it came to finding dinner when a tasty insect passed nearby the hell aunts jaw tusks would flip the insect up an onto its horn impaling it spearing prey does take a toll though which is probably why the Hell Lance Horn was clad with metal and if that isn't gruesome, enough researchers say this prehistoric insect. Some vampire like tendencies two when the ant snagged its prey, it's Tusk like jaws close to form a gutter, which may have been a means of funneling the insects blood right down into the ants. Gullit, the Helen scientifically known as Lingua Mir Mex- vladi was discovered in chunk of amber that was ninety, nine, million years old although it's unusual appendages were likely used to catch its food researchers say they may have occasionally been used defensively. This is not the only insect sporting metal either some present day termite species actually have zinc and manganese in their manuals. However, there are no modern ants similarly equipped.
