What humorous observations do the hosts make about sports personalities?
This guy ran like he had two left feet. I mean, big dumb animal in the best way possible.
There were a lot of pieces of sound that I feel like may come back later in the hour that Clay was here. That was a dangerous hour for us all.
We know one clip that's coming back for sure.
I don't know what you're talking about. Thanks to our guests, Clay Harbor, Danny Parkins, Carrie Pinkowski. Thanks to Grant Leader, Tyler Buterbaugh, Brandon Fryer, Cody Westerlin, Connor O'Donnell, Jacob Stutz, Max Curtis. Our transition is brought to you by Torque Coatings. High performance coatings for your home or business. TorqueCoatings.com. And now we bring in the two men of the afternoon show, Lawrence Holmes and Matt Spiegel. Hello, guys.
That was a lot of people. Takes a village to do middays as well as you guys do. Damn. We're just hanging out. You got Jacob and Max and Connor and producers and everybody.
Who are the special guests featured in this episode?
And Grant. And Grant. Absolutely. Props, Grant. Good to see you. Thank you. And... Wait, wait, why was that such a regal thank you? Dynamite drop in there, Grant. Come on, do another one. Thank you? Sorry. It's all good.
You are the leader of Grants. Thank you, Greg. Yep.
Grant's been awesome the last couple days.
Shout out to Ray Diaz.
What insights do the hosts share about broadcasting challenges?
Hope Ray's feeling better. We've been missing Ray the last couple days. Hopefully he will be back with us tomorrow when we are at the way. We will be at Gallagher Way.
Yes, we're back at home tomorrow. Our home, Gallagher Way.
Unless, of course. Oh, no, it's a real possibility. Yeah. It is.
Maybe we won't be out there. Yeah, the forecast is forecasting. Yes.
I have Gallagher Way broadcast envy. I like broadcasting.
Well, we were supposed to do the one, but then there was weather. That was like wind, right? Not rain? Right. It was mostly wind, but it was also a fear.
I was outside when you guys were broadcasting inside and there was rain. So for the record, I felt it.
Grody doesn't care about the rain. They broadcast it straight.
How do the hosts discuss the impact of weather on outdoor broadcasts?
straight through it, right, Groats? Can't stop the rain. Yeah, no, absolutely. When it starts to fall. I mean, I have to accept that I'm going to get wet because I just refuse to have an umbrella whenever it rains. I am hitting about 150 or so while walking in the city and having an umbrella. I never have the umbrella when it rains.
I don't think it's 150. It's probably lower. You're the Dansby Swanson of walking with an umbrella. Oh, yeah. Thank you very much, everybody. Good night, everybody. That means we're going to put you in the sixth hole tonight. You're going to get elevated. Whatever you want.
Alex Bregman.
Whatever you think. Try to get me going.
Hey, Spiegel, they wasted a Michael Bush 12-pitch at-bat RBI triple last night. You can't have that.
That's why he should lead. off it's an interesting moment last night when cliff floyd says you know i don't like to say a game in june is a must win but this one kind of feels like a must win and boog was silent and i know that goes against boog's entire sense of philosophy but cliff is talking to you as a player Like, you're up 4-2 in that thing, and then it's 4-4, and you're home, and you're like, we better win this thing. And Cliff knows what it's like to go down in the freaking well psychologically. And I thought that was compelling.
You make a good play. They try to run themselves out of an inning. And then you don't hit again. Yeah.
And again. And again. And their bullpen. Amen. Caleb Fieldbar is not supposed to be like your eighth inning guy against lefties and righties.
The whole choice, but also the fact that he's just. What else are they going to do? Right now. He's had a season, man. He's had some up and downs this season.
But Phil Maton is a disaster. Trent Thornton is a scrap heap guy. Jacob Webb, who gave up a lot. Jacob Webb was pretty good last night in the seventh, but he's another guy who throws like 95, and he's doing it with guile. They don't have any answers.
They don't have any answers. Ethan Roberts gave up the 10th inning hit to Nick Kurtz, but Ethan Roberts has been okay.
He's been okay, but he's been up and down, what, seven times over the last two years?
