00:00There are people talking here in New York, as you know, about Eugenio Suarez, Carol,

00:07a gallon of milk, that the Yankees are going to get these three guys.

00:11And I think people are tripping.

00:13Now, come on.

00:13Like, there's no way that team's giving all three of those guys to the Yankees.

00:17I'll be surprised if one of them ends up a Yankee.

00:19It's all going to come down to how this last couple of weeks go for the Diamondbacks,

00:23because they're still hovering around 500.

00:24And you can make the argument they can still make a move.

00:27The problem is they've been hovering around 500 this entire time.

00:29And for the last month, I've been saying, if the D-backs go ahead and sell,

00:33they got a couple of pieces that are very big, gallon being one and Suarez being the other.

00:37I'm glad everybody else is caught up on the Suarez train.

00:39This guy's had, what, 24 home runs.

00:41The Yankees have not been remotely quiet about their need of a third baseman,

00:45not to mention letting go of D.J. LeMahieu.

00:47And everybody knows, and their cousin knows, that Jazz is a second baseman.

00:51So, Eugenio is the bigger need.

00:54But at the end of the day, pitching is everybody's need.

00:57At the end of the day, everybody needs an arm.

00:59They already lost Garrett Cole.

01:01You better believe the Mets are going to be looking for an arm.

01:03The Dodgers will look for an arm.

01:04They've got 17 arms on the I.L. right now.

01:07So, I watched, I lost that 1-0 game the other night at Petco with those two home runs yanked

01:12by Merrill and Tatis.

01:14That killed me.

01:15But I bet on them all three nights.

01:18And then they won again last night.

01:20But tonight, I bet on the Padres.

01:22Who do you like in that last game of that series tonight in San Diego?

01:25I like the Pods.

01:26I like the Pods at home.

01:27Even though they haven't been as good at home this season, I just think they're going to

01:30take this and start anew in this second half.

01:33Because I do think the Padres are the biggest, biggest threat to the Los Angeles Dodgers in

01:37the National League.

01:38And make no mistake, I think the best team in the American League, who is the Detroit Tigers,

01:43I think they're the best team by a wide margin at this point.

01:46I think the second best team in the American League might be the eighth best team in the National

01:50League.

01:50Yeah, fair enough.

01:52Do you think the Dodgers get straight in San Francisco and the Devers thing has not gone

01:58well?

01:59Dude, I do think the Dodgers are going to get right in San Francisco.

02:02But if they don't, I think they're going to get right.

02:04They're the Dodgers.

02:04They've lost six in a row and they still have the second best record in the American and

02:07the Major League Baseball, not to mention the best record in the National League, despite

02:11losing six in a row.

02:12This team will win when they choose to win and lose when they decide to just take their foot

02:17off the pedal.

02:17The Giants, though, I understood the Devers trade.

02:20I was excited for them on the Devers trade.

02:22But you had to know something was up if the Red Sox were so happy to get rid of them.

02:28And by the way, the Red Sox have been playing some pretty good baseball since getting rid

02:30of them.

02:31I wouldn't be shocked if the Red Sox were only, what, a game and a half out of a wild card

02:34spot right now.

02:36Who's to say they don't go all in and try to make something crazy happen?

02:39Chris Sale may be available.

02:41Maybe a reunion there.

02:43I'll tell you what, they've been raking hits every night and winning and cashing tickets

02:47real quick.

02:49I got 40 seconds.

02:50Your thoughts on Atlanta and the Home Run Derby and the All-Star game.

02:54Are you excited for Hot Town next week?

02:57Very much.

02:58And I'll be more excited once I hear the news that Seiya Suzuki is added because that guy's

03:02got 25 home runs and 77 RBIs and somehow is not an All-Star.

03:06It's mind-blowing to me.

03:07He shouldn't just be an All-Star.

03:08He should be in the Home Run Derby.

03:10I want me some Seiya Suzuki, my man.
