42.077 - 48.886 Jake

It's going to be a, I mean, high H, high T show. Trev had a big weekend.

Chapter 2: How are the Atlanta Braves performing this season?

48.986 - 55.654 Jake

I've got a big night coming up. Bobby Golfs is here. Dalton Feely. What is going on, Coach Trev?

0

56.309 - 60.374 Trev

Mark Ellis, 105 career homer, so he's looking up at me.

0

61.275 - 69.225 Jake

Oh, sorry, Mark. Sorry, pal. Nice career, though. Maybe one more rep at the gym, Mark. Maybe.

0

69.265 - 84.346 Trev

Things are good, Jake. Yes, I had a little 40th birthday-ish bash yesterday. You were obviously not there physically. Right. Cause you got some stuff going on in New York, but you were there on FaceTime.

Chapter 3: What recent developments are impacting the Chicago Cubs?

84.366 - 86.518 Trev

Like you always are for big celebrations in my life.

0

86.684 - 112.103 Jake

Yeah, so I told, I was like, Robin Dahl, yeah, I can open with a story today. Because I'm on my couch, it's late, recorded talking Yanks yesterday, go home, throw on some Cubs Giants, but I want to pass the fuck out, pardon my French, because I am going to the Knicks-Spurs game tonight, so I'm very excited about that. So I was like, my only intention last night was get to bed early.

0

112.684 - 138.693 Jake

I'm on my couch, little, uh... A little medical stuff in the system just to help me sleep, you know, relax a little bit. My phone doesn't tell me when people call me, which is a really bad feature. It's supposed to be like the number one thing that happens when a phone. But if someone wants to talk to me, they normally will also text me. So I get a text from a number I don't have at about 10 p.m.

0

139.034 - 148.135 Jake

my time. And I'll make sure I read it verbatim. It says, TJ, stop doing curls. Answer your phone. Trev's 40th.

Chapter 4: Are the Texas Rangers back in contention?

149.416 - 167.115 Jake

I go, okay. That's interesting. So I'm like, oh. I'm like, damn it. That's right. Trev's probably having his birthday party. This is... I still don't know who it is. I don't know if it's your guy Kyle. I don't know. But I was like... And then I look at my calls. Had a missed FaceTime from Trev earlier that I was like, okay. Little stony baloney on the couch.

0

167.435 - 173.995 Jake

Shirtless, always, because that's how I live. Make the FaceTime. Crowd starts getting rowdy.

0

Chapter 5: What is the current status of the Detroit Tigers?

174.075 - 196.061 Jake

Chris Rose is there. He's at the end of the table. He's basically sitting in another room Um, and then literally flashbacks to Jimmy Clawson's wife, the birthday cake comes out and they start singing happy birthday to Trev. And there I am sitting on the phone again. So, uh, it was a delightful moment to be there and not be there, but it was, we wanted you there.

0

196.081 - 200.208 Trev

I know, I know Tyson who was calling you Tyson, my guy.

0

200.228 - 210.517 Jake

Um, okay. Got to save his number right now. Um, Yeah, it was good to be fake included for a minute. It looked like vibes were high, Trev.

0

211.319 - 216.412 Trev

Vibes were high. We had a great day. Some golf, a little spa, and then a nice dinner all together.

Chapter 6: How are the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees faring in their rivalry?

216.492 - 217.114 Trev

It was great.

0

217.229 - 239.549 Jake

The image of Chris Rose seeing me shirtless, so he had to then show everyone what he was operating with. It was a nice moment. And, guys, it's not Trev's birthday yet. Middle, middle. 6'15". He's still 39. With that, I think we dive into some AL baseball because it's Monday.

0

240.11 - 241.352 Trev

Let's get into it, Pop.

0

241.372 - 257.935 Jake

Let's bang it around. Let's bang it around, and we start with the Motor City Kitties. Are they back? They just had a nice week of baseball. Five and one after taking two out of three from the Seattle Cowboys.

257.915 - 281.138 Jake

mariners the game they did not win the vanilla gorilla bryce milla been dropping it all over everyone and so is dominic canzone 451 to left center okay pal outside of that it was the detroit tigers um kevin mcgonigal how's your first career walk off it it goes off of young cole young's glove

Chapter 7: What standout performances occurred in the latest MLB games?

281.118 - 303.205 Jake

That's none of his business, and we get some electricity. Josh Naylor and Frambois Valdez, they're always stirring the pot. We'll talk about that a little bit. Detroit, signs of life. Speaking of, the birds in the east, the Baltimore Orioles and the Toronto Blue Jays. The Orioles win that first game. They put up a 13-burger. Adley's going nuts.

0

303.225 - 324.671 Jake

The Orioles are one of the hottest teams in baseball. They've won 10 out of 14 games. They drop the next two to Toronto. Braddish struggles, mostly because Ernie Clement is on the Toronto Blue Jays, people. And then that final game, down 4-0, the Blue Jays rally. Little controversy, and Ernie's involved, but mostly the two out hits.

0

324.711 - 329.136 Jake

And how about Brandon Valenzuela and what he's been doing, filling in for Kirky.

0

Chapter 8: What insights do Coach Trev and Jake have on the impact of analytics in baseball?

329.417 - 355.022 Jake

Toronto, they take the set. Are the Texas Rangers live? Were they dead? What are they? I don't know, but they won a series over the Cleveland Guard Dogs, winning the bread games. They didn't win the middle game. Tanner is a vibe. Eight-inning shut piece. How do you like that? Ryan Rocchio good, question mark? It's a hot debate on baseball Twitter these days. But enough about them.

0

355.623 - 377.4 Jake

Corey Seager is back. Hey, I think that matters. Wyatt Lankford is back. Hey, I think that matters. Kyle Higashioka, he's been here. I just like him because he was a Yankee. And Jacob DeGrom, through six scoreless innings in that final game. You're going to hear more about Zeke Duran later. Texas, tantalizing.

0

377.901 - 402.17 Jake

The Kansas City Royals win three out of four against Trev's Minnesota Twins, so we're probably going to talk about that too much. The Royals, Starling Marte hit a nice home run in that final game. Bobby Witt exits with a right knee thing. Let's keep tabs on that. Trev's going to talk about it. I'm not. The Boston Red Sox and the Yankees, the rivalry is back. Not really. They played two games.

0

402.912 - 431.942 Jake

The Red Sox win that first game. Some Wilson Contreras and some Yankees. Sloppy defense gives Boston the nod, and then a 1-1 pitcher's duel. Ranger Suarez, Cam Schlittler, Yankees open it up in the eighth inning. Cody Bellinger, along with Jazz going big fly to get it done, they split two. The Astros, are they alive? They take two out of three. From the A's, Astros, big offensive performance.

0

432.022 - 457.297 Jake

Jordan Alvarez, he's been doing this every game, and he's got an MVP. Isak Paredes, everyone wants him, but right now he's on Houston, and he homered for three straight games. Final game, might as well jump. Gage jump, dominant, man. That kid has whatever it is. So did Kurtz and Rooker in that final game. And your final series, the Citrus Bowl. The Tampa Bay Rays and the Miami Marlins.

457.337 - 483.435 Jake

The Rays win that first game. Drew Rasmussen, underrated probably. Caminero reach-based five times. After that, it's all Marlins. My guy, Javier Sanoja with the big game two. And then Sandy is going to be a name we're going to talk about the next couple months. He has a dominant performance. Otto Lopez is just one of the best players in baseball. Fishy, that's what happened in the American League.

486.267 - 488.893 Trev

Nobody better. Nobody better.

488.913 - 495.167 Jake

San Antonio, get the fuck out. You're done. You're done. Nixon 3.

495.228 - 500.059 Trev

Nixon 3. It's Jover. I actually watched other sports. I watched some hockey.
