Hello and welcome to Talking Baseball. We had some good NLEs action. The machine Albert puts a stamp on one so much good baseball. It's players only people.

It's players only. Hello and welcome back to Talking Baseball. Coming off a hot Friday. I was out.

The little backstrap party in the hills had a good time. It comes out after you lads record Fernando Tati's junior PED suspension. What is you doing baby?

I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get the ball back. But the boys hop back on the mic. They covered that for you because it's just different. It's just different. And one of those guys who is built entirely differently Trevor Ploof getting nasty from Calabassy. How you doing big dog?

I'm one of the only guys that can transition from front office only to players only I am Diffie and yes I'm still mad at fucking Fernando Tati's junior from making me record an episode on a Friday night. I got shit to do. You know how like kind of popular around here. People pull me all different places. I have my time of work and for andos bringing me back.

Although in saying that boy did I love doing that episode in prompt to like raw thoughts on an app.

That's what the people pay for man. I thought Jimmy and I hoppin on there. I thought we did a good job because that was an hour after the news broke dude that was straight up seriously that was like raw thoughts and I had a more time to process it and we've had more stuff come out about it.

But yeah man we missed you on the app because I think you would have crushed it too. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on it. I know you did a little bit on way conjecture this morning but I haven't been able to catch that yet.

Just one of the many things that happened this weekend is a big weekend for baseball.

Yeah I was happy for you boys little jealous. I mean I was I was a little under the influence but I sent like hey I'll hop on if you need it and then the next text was we're we're already recorded and I was like you know that's probably for the best.

I was enjoying some nice libations and other natural stuff from the mountains but yeah man I.

I've kind of like you just depicted in a I like to hear and Aaron you say it too. Kind of the live processing because you know a lot of baseball this weekend a lot of everything and then the reason we like hopping in front of the mics when something hot like that happens and that's why I wanted you boys to roll.

It's just different you just can't replicate that moment and everything that you're feeling wrong I mean now you know we've got quotes coming out from teammates in the front office that aren't you know not we got our guys back like they are of a very different note they feel spurned by Nando so yeah when I was going through it on way conjecture this morning I I was uncovering some layers that I hadn't fully hadn't fully thought out but also talked myself through and man that's um.

I mean end of the day at I think it's bad for baseball like you know that episode got a ton of views and in this you know it's the old you know is PR bad PR and we did that for the lockout and then it was kind of like well I get actually kind of was good PR because we missed a week but everyone was talking about a lot of baseball so in that sense it worked when we're talking about a generational all time talent and a team that just traded for another generation all time talent it's just stinks man it's just a lot of things that I'm not going to say.

Thanks man it's it's not what we should be talking about we should be talking about how scary the Padres are and as they start to build a legacy down there and now it's just like you.

Well I think we will end up talking about that because I think this team still is really good and like many of the players said when they had the answer questions on behalf of Fernando another thing Fernando thanks for that they said he hasn't been here all year yeah.

So we're in the position with out him and yeah guess what we got one so though Josh Bell and Josh Hader and Brandon jury like Blake Snow said we got everyone yeah.

So that's kind of the vibe they took and I think it's good let's just I want to get your thoughts a little bit more on this and then we'll get into the baseball when I.

When James and I taught I said you know I wasn't sure I was going to play out but I said I do know one thing for sure is like he's moving down the pecking order of people who can say shit in that clubhouse because in each clubhouse there's a handful of guys that can stand in front of the room and can say shit and people listen.

That's not every guy can do that and really come in the room like you have to earn that you have to play for some time you got to put some dirt on your spikes you got to be good.

You got to be respected more so than anything he doesn't have that ability anymore the only thing he can do with that room is apologize and then after that.

He got to earn that back dude because you heard the guys talking about him clever and your had you know he was basically we've been disappointed twice by this guy.
