00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,110 that, uh, the Dodgers had, uh, Bower. 853 00:42:40,380 --> 00:42:45,750 Um, you know, he got in the, uh, he was, he was the, a highly 854 00:42:45,780 --> 00:42:48,240 touted, uh, free agent pitcher. 855 00:42:49,140 --> 00:42:52,470 And, uh, he got in that little entanglement with that girl 856 00:42:52,470 --> 00:42:55,980 that she, he said, she said he abused her and all that stuff. 857 00:42:56,460 --> 00:42:58,950 So he got suspended for that. 858 00:42:58,950 --> 00:43:00,210 What, that one year. 859 00:43:00,900 --> 00:43:05,340 And so now he gets back and the Dodgers releasing. 860 00:43:05,895 --> 00:43:08,714 Top line pitcher do to Atlanta Braves go after him? 861 00:43:09,045 --> 00:43:09,674 Yes, 862 00:43:09,915 --> 00:43:10,484 Other Guy: absolutely. 863 00:43:10,515 --> 00:43:15,134 I, with the, I guess sh we don't have, 864 00:43:15,615 --> 00:43:15,765 T-Bird: the 865 00:43:15,765 --> 00:43:19,904 Other Guy: Braves don't have the, the, the most depth in, in pitching. 866 00:43:20,714 --> 00:43:24,765 And we've shown that, you know, look at Ozuna, who's had his legal trouble, 867 00:43:24,765 --> 00:43:29,924 Al albeit different, but he's had some troubles and Braves are okay with it. 868 00:43:30,134 --> 00:43:34,035 And I think in this case, he's in the wrong, he's in the wrong sport. 869 00:43:34,035 --> 00:43:36,944 I mean, if you're in the N F L or the N B A, that's, that's common 870 00:43:36,944 --> 00:43:37,605 T-Bird: practice. 871 00:43:38,475 --> 00:43:39,015 Yeah. 872 00:43:39,015 --> 00:43:41,535 I mean, you know, we lost Luke Jackson. 873 00:43:41,595 --> 00:43:46,694 Luke Jackson, the, uh, bullpen guy used to be the closer with the slider. 874 00:43:46,694 --> 00:43:47,924 They call him the slide man. 875 00:43:48,315 --> 00:43:52,875 He's gone to the Giants and we signed, uh, Charlie Martin, the 20 876 00:43:52,875 --> 00:43:56,444 million, which I felt like we should have let Charlie walk and let him 877 00:43:56,450 --> 00:43:57,734 be retired or what he was gonna do. 878 00:43:57,740 --> 00:43:58,845 I think he's lost it. 879 00:43:59,384 --> 00:44:05,024 So I go after this guy and try to make him a part of my starting five. 880 00:44:05,820 --> 00:44:11,370 And, and, uh, I, I, I think you need to, I think after losing Dansby, you need 881 00:44:11,370 --> 00:44:13,860 some kind of big move to pick up the team. 882 00:44:14,070 --> 00:44:14,580 Yeah. 883 00:44:14,740 --> 00:44:15,030 A 884 00:44:15,035 --> 00:44:16,470 Other Guy: and you're gonna get him cheap. 885 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,750 And he, I mean, he's, he's talented. 886 00:44:18,750 --> 00:44:21,000 It's not like he just fell off the, you know, hi, his talent 887 00:44:21,005 --> 00:44:21,720 has falling off the cliff. 888 00:44:21,750 --> 00:44:22,740 He's still got it. 889 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:23,010 Yeah. 890 00:44:23,015 --> 00:44:23,520 He got it. 891 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:29,190 And, and it's gonna be a bargain and it takes a good player away from the Dodgers. 892 00:44:29,220 --> 00:44:29,490 Right. 893 00:44:29,490 --> 00:44:30,420 Who we're gonna see. 894 00:44:30,870 --> 00:44:31,800 And same thing with career. 895 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,170 He's not with the Mets, which is a great move. 896 00:44:34,170 --> 00:44:35,910 He's back on, on on the ai, right. 897 00:44:35,970 --> 00:44:36,360 Yeah. 898 00:44:36,570 --> 00:44:38,160 And, and he's not with a divisional opponent. 899 00:44:38,165 --> 00:44:42,690 So I, I think this is just no fault of the Braves doing anything, but just 900 00:44:42,750 --> 00:44:47,100 the situation around them has provided some better chances than a week ago. 901 00:44:47,130 --> 00:44:47,520 T-Bird: Trevor. 902 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:47,820 Byron. 903 00:44:47,820 --> 00:44:50,790 I think the Braves need to be the front runners in going after him 904 00:44:51,150 --> 00:44:55,110 and let everybody know, Hey, I, we want you in Atlanta because 905 00:44:55,110 --> 00:44:57,330 we, we wanna win another title. 906 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,960 We losing too many big time players og. 907 00:45:01,350 --> 00:45:04,520 So that you got anything on that man. 908 00:45:05,915 --> 00:45:07,425 I think it's just like anything else. 909 00:45:07,425 --> 00:45:10,035 There's gonna be a carousel of people that are coming in and out. 910 00:45:10,395 --> 00:45:13,965 You gotta show up your core people, you gotta switch out the, you know, the people 911 00:45:13,965 --> 00:45:15,555 that aren't really doing their thing. 912 00:45:16,095 --> 00:45:18,005 And that's why we have things like aaa. 913 00:45:18,010 --> 00:45:20,055 So there's always gonna be a Michael Harris somewhere. 914 00:45:20,060 --> 00:45:20,355 So. 915 00:45:20,925 --> 00:45:25,965 Well, you know, the way I, uh, minor leagues has been, you know, we done 916 00:45:25,965 --> 00:45:30,405 gave up a lot of players in trades and we used to be the number one minor 917 00:45:30,405 --> 00:45:32,565 league organization in, in baseball. 918 00:45:32,565 --> 00:45:36,765 Now we're not, because, you know, we've made trades, we pull guys up 919 00:45:36,770 --> 00:45:38,715 and we've, we gotta reboot down there. 920 00:45:39,135 --> 00:45:45,225 So right now you go after Trevor Byer and that's going to give you, 921 00:45:45,255 --> 00:45:49,815 that's going to give that team a, a new morale, uh, boost because we 922 00:45:49,815 --> 00:45:53,205 lost Dansby and this boy is the bomb. 923 00:45:53,205 --> 00:45:56,835 I wanted

00:49:47,025 So the question is, and I know this comes up, what a lot of people, cause 983 00:49:47,135 --> 00:49:53,265 when your team lose and they lose, in a funny way, you wander and the 984 00:49:53,665 --> 00:50:00,165 question is, why do we feel sports may be rigged sometimes or at certain times? 985 00:50:00,345 --> 00:50:01,245 What, what do you think og? 986 00:50:02,235 --> 00:50:06,435 Other Guy: You know, inevitably this question comes up when that flute thing 987 00:50:06,435 --> 00:50:10,665 happens to, to my team and they lose, or they're not getting the calls or the 988 00:50:10,665 --> 00:50:13,305 other team's getting everything and. 989 00:50:14,430 --> 00:50:18,750 Adds fuel to the fire when we've got some of these controversies or, or referees 990 00:50:18,750 --> 00:50:22,259 that are taking money, that there's a whole documentary on Netflix about that. 991 00:50:22,290 --> 00:50:22,590 Yep. 992 00:50:23,190 --> 00:50:27,660 And so of course when the big game comes down in the big moment and somebody either 993 00:50:27,665 --> 00:50:31,290 does or doesn't do something that they've done thousands and thousands of times, 994 00:50:31,860

be a part of that dick? 1003 00:50:57,810 --> 00:50:58,740 Other Guy: Um, I don't 1004 00:50:58,740 --> 00:51:03,780 T-Bird: know, but I can tell you where the rigging is, where it's questionable, where 1005 00:51:03,780 --> 00:51:05,100 the questions can actually be brought up. 1006 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,580 It's usually on a rest call, usually on like a pass play. 1007 00:51:09,510 --> 00:51:11,835 , the DAC will get called for past interference. 1008 00:51:12,195 --> 00:51:12,285 Mm-hmm. 1009 00:51:12,705 --> 00:51:16,245 , you know, um, it just, it's usually plays like that, you know, to where 1010 00:51:16,245 --> 00:51:19,905 things are kind of susceptible at those moments of, and, and, and think about 1011 00:51:19,905 --> 00:51:24,675 it, when you in the N F L now, all the rest, they got a earpiece, all of them. 1012 00:51:24,945 --> 00:51:25,035 Mm-hmm. 1013 00:51:25,395 --> 00:51:30,285 .
