Jeff Blair 0:06
Well, my condolences.
Kevin Barker 0:09
Well, tell people what we're laughing about.
Jeff Blair 0:11
It's just the technical director saying the camera can see you, which is nice to be, you know, to be seen. Well, it's nice to be seen. So I don't do something, you know. Yeah. Embarrassing. So I do appreciate it. Oh, boy. You know. Every now and then you let people see a peek.
Kevin Barker 0:30
Kind of where we're at in the season.
Jeff Blair 0:32
Peek behind the curtain. It truly is.
Kevin Barker 0:33
It really is. Have we talked about the Jays all day today?
No.
Jeff Blair 0:37
It's been so good. It is awesome, huh? I shouldn't say that. That's not fair. That isn't fair. They won. They won yesterday. That isn't fair. And they've got the Cardinals coming up in the three games.
Kevin Barker 0:49
And if I listened to you after the game, it would have seemed like they lost 15 to nothing. Well, that's not true. It is true because they scored runs and got hits when it mattered. Listen, the manager opened the door by saying that. You had to follow or you could have been a little tough on the manager. It's not like they pounded the ball over the ballpark. When you wake up this morning, that hit Okamoto got. It's 114 mile an hour line drive to right.
Jeff Blair 1:17
Standards have fallen. That's all I'll say. That's all I'll say. You criticize me for, as you say, you're begging. You qualify, or you criticize me for that.
Kevin Barker 1:29
Well, it is when you say things like, I trust the athlete. Like, what's wrong with that?
Jeff Blair 1:37
I mean, I was proven right last year. What have you done for me lately, big fella? I was proven right last year. You're ready to get rid of Vladdy. You're criticizing the contract that they signed. I said, I trust the guy.
Kevin Barker 1:49
I still trust Vladdy.
Jeff Blair 1:51
You're crazy.
Kevin Barker 1:51
No, I trust Vladdy. The only guy that I criticized the contract was the guy that catches. I trust Vladdy. I was the only guy that didn't understand that one.
Jeff Blair 2:01
What, the Kirky?
Kevin Barker 2:02
Yeah. Yeah, it makes sense. Made sense or it makes sense?
Jeff Blair 2:06
No, it made sense. To me, it made sense. It made no sense. To me, it made sense. It made zero sense.
Kevin Barker 2:11
Anyhow. Well, I had to throw some Jay stuff in there, and I knew I'd get you fired up.
Yeah.
Kevin Barker 2:17
There it is. It'll be fine. They had a bad year. They'll figure it out. They have better players. I get them a cleanup hitter.
Jeff Blair 2:27
This could be sort of an emotional weekend for the Blue Jays if you buy into the trade deadline stuff. Well, Kevin Gossman's pitching on Saturday. Could very well be his last start. You'd let him make a start?
Kevin Barker 2:43
Uh...
Jeff Blair 2:44
Yeah.
Kevin Barker 2:45
It's a good question.
Jeff Blair 2:46
No, yeah, I would. Max Scherzer starting on Sunday and Dylan See starting on Friday. You know, if you don't let Kevin, I mean, I don't know. You know what? Can I say it doesn't matter? Because if I don't let Kevin Gossman start, I don't think anybody's going to go, oh, the Jays are hiding something from us. So I don't know.
Kevin Barker 3:11
I don't know. I think you got to make sure you do your homework. Know the phone calls that you've gotten about him that if you, you know, don't let him pitch that you could get what you think you deserve if you gave him up. Now, I'm not saying it's going to be a ton, but, you know, maybe you get a top 25 prospect. Who knows? But it's a thought.
Jeff Blair 3:34
You know, I would be more concerned about a guy like Dalton Farshall getting hurt than Kevin Costner.
Kevin Barker 3:41
You think it's a given he's getting traded, Dalton?
Jeff Blair 3:44
Oh, I don't think – as I've said, I don't know. They could – I'm prepared to be underwhelmed. I'm prepared to be surprised. I'm prepared to be bored. I'm just – I'm prepared for anything at this deadline. Could I see – I just – I can't see them doing something like adding a scooble, obviously. But – Yeah, I don't know. I'm prepared for everything. Yeah. It could go in any direction. Mm-hmm.
Kevin Barker 4:18
You know, and that's – There'll be some disappointed fans, I would think. There's some popular players that might have to be traded. Yep. There's nothing wrong with that. You're trying to make your team better next year. You want to put a better product on the field. You want to score more runs. Yep. Give up some people.
Jeff Blair 4:34
So, as we mentioned, the Cardinals are in town for a three-game series starting tomorrow night. Dylan Cease against Kyle Leahy.
