(00:01):
Now I want to thank you forchecking in here on the Michael j Podcast,
and I got my baseball buddy,Amy Jennings. And Amy, you
know I'm normally happy and smiling andyou can usually pull myself together for our
conversation. Oh, Michael Jess AmyJennings, I have to say something.
(00:24):
This is the lowest we've been inone hundred and seven series. That would
take us back to the eighteen sixties. Yes, eighteen sixties, the last
time the worlds have been swept.But oh, I've missed talking to you,
and I'm sad that, uh ithas to come after a bad start
to the week, But you're right, the first time they've been swept in
(00:44):
over two years at this point.And yesterday the second game was just like
an accumulation of everything that could gowrong. They had two heirs. One
came from Gunner Henderson and the otherfrom James McCann. That running mistake by
Cedric Mullen in the ninth inning waskind of bizarre. I mean, I
guess you could maybe not call themistake, but you have to get back
(01:07):
on that play, and he wasthe game tying run that can't happen in
the ninth inning, especially when youcut it to just one run and you
have the chance of not kidding swept. And then the worst news of all
is John means, yeah, Johnmiss got today fifteen day disabled less.
What is going on with me?He strained a muscle or something. Yeah,
(01:27):
he had elbow soreness, and youcould kind of tell in the he
didn't pitch back yesterday. I onlygave up one hit in those three innings,
but you could just tell he didn'tlook right, wasn't locating really well.
His misses weren't even close. Hewas shaking his arm after a couple
pitches, and his velocity was down. He was sitting fastball was sitting right
(01:47):
around eighty eight. Usually it's atninety ninety one. So that was a
telltale sign and you kind of justwaited to see what happened. Brandon Hyde
said he had elbow soreness after thegame, and then we find out today
after MRI that he's going on thefifteen day I l So in a corresponding
move, they're bringing up Jonathan Heasley. I'm guessing that means means this next
start was supposed to be this comingMonday. So I'm guessing we're probably going
(02:12):
to see Cole Irvin and Jonathan Easleywill join this bullpen and Cole irban spot.
But and who is this guy?Who is it Jonathan Easley? Yeah,
he came up, pitched out ofthe bullpen a couple of games earlier
in the year, came back down, went back down, and now he's
coming back up. Didn't do realwell. I think his era was over
(02:34):
six and he's outing, So we'llsee what he can do. But I
think that's more they need somebody orto fill in the bullpen. And the
who news is they have They weregonna go with the six man rotation,
now they're not, but they stillhave another starter that's in the bullpen right
now. So's the worst news,but bad news for John Means, whose
career has just been lagged by injuryinjury, injury injury. Yeah, and
(02:55):
and to make matters worse, KyleGibson beat us. Yes, I mean,
did you see did you see thesign he put in the ye no
hoses? But yeah, that thatkind of stuff kind of hurts just a
little bit more. The good newsis though, they get to go to
(03:15):
Chicago and face the White Sox,who are lacked in the central only have
fifteen wins. They have a reallyweak lineup right now. Alloi Jamenez and
Louise Robert are both out on theIL, so that's good. They only
have a couple of guys hitting overtwo hundred, so this is definitely a
chance to redeem themselves this week.And while this is all going on,
(03:38):
I don't know if you noticed thisor not, but Heston Kurse Dad just
got another home run at Norfolk.Yeah. Yeah, I don't know what
to say about him. He justhe's gonna continue to hit. He's such
a solid baseball player. It's we'regoing to see him up here one day.
I don't know where it's going tofit in, and we're gonna see
(03:59):
him hit at the big league level. But it's just gonna have to be
the right opportunity. But those guysjust just continue to impress me that that
lineup at Triple A Norfolk is probablythe most talented roster we've seen ever in
the miners, which makes sense sincethis farm system is just so great,
But when you look at the guysat Triple A, it's it's insane.
(04:20):
And then on top of that,I have one other question I got to
ask you about I'm reading about thiswhole deal with Mike Bauman and the trade,
and now we traded for a catcher, So explain that to me.
We get this guy, I don'tknow much about him outside of the fact
that he's a catcher, And yeah, does that mean they're thinking about getting
(04:42):
rid of McCann or why would youneed a third catcher. I think what
it came down to it was justa matter of they had to dfa Mike
Bawman to make that move for makeroom for Grayson Rodriguez, And I think
it's just a matter of he wasn'tgoing to clear waivers and they wanted to
get something for him. So Ithink this just works out. In that
(05:02):
deal, they also traded triple Acatcher, Michael Perez, so kind of
makes sense. You definitely don't needthat triple A catcher because you have Samuel
Bosio, a top prospect, andall of baseball on the horizon. Of
course, have Adley Rushman at thebig league level and James McCann, which
they're an outstanding one and two duo, probably the best in all of the
(05:24):
majors. So I think it wasjust a matter of wanting to get something
for Mike Bauman. But Blake Huntsitting just under three hundred this year in
Triple A. He's the twenty thirdranked prospect in the Mariners system, so
we'll see. He's probably gonna replacethat spot as the Triple A catcher.
And Michael Perez came up a coupleof times when they had the extra guy
(05:45):
on the taxi squad in doubleheaders thisyear, so maybe he'll be that kind
of guy for the meantime, andthen at the trade deadline, you know,
who knows what you'll be able todo with him or what you'll be
able to do with James McCann.So just I think a matter of moving
Mike salmon Amy. You know,you're really impressive. You know everything about
everything, don't you. You mustlike see I appreciate it. I like
(06:08):
talking about it now. I loveit. But I mean, you know
everything about guys we never even heardof before. We're just hearing about,
you know what I mean? AndI love that well, I appreciate it.
So is there anything else going onwithin the Orioles that you can tell
us? Any hot gossip, anyanything you know kind of rumbling under under
the the misery of the last threelosses. I don't nothing, nothing too
(06:33):
exciting. I think, yeah,I think. Uh, I don't know
if you heard, Connor Morby gothurt. He like went to dive for
a ball, broke a couple ofribs. So hopefully he'll be that'll be
a quick recovery. He's another bigguy, right, Wow, I didn't
know that. Yeah, So sowe'll see. But this week is a
(06:54):
good time for them to redeem themselvesand we'll see right to do. I'm
not freaking out or anything. Imean, it's only May, obviously,
and uh, you know, it'sa long, long season and you're you're
gonna have your ups and downs.And the Yankees are not going to continue
to be this hot all year long. I mean, they're they're gonna have
there. They'll cool off at somepoint too. It's just it was just
(07:15):
that we were within one run andwe could have saved that that silly thing
that we haven't lost or been sweptsince the sixteen hundreds, and you know,
I just thought that, like youcould somehow pull it out. We
were so close, so close.I know, it's it's oh and you
know what, I just mispooked.I meant to say, Kobe Mayo.
I said Connor Norby. I getthose two mixed up because they're both just
(07:38):
so awesome. That's okay, KobeMayo, excuse me, that broke the
ribs. Connor Norby's coming back.He had an injured wrist, but he
just came back. But it's it'sKobe Mayo that broke those ribs, so
probably that's a quick recovery. That'snever fun. But I just wanted to
clarify. But I know it's you'regonna You're gonna get swept at some point.
It's gonna happen. The Yankees aregonna cool off, are going to
(08:00):
see them. Hopefully they're on thedownfall and the Ools are on the upswing
when they face them in a coupleof weeks and coming up. I'm glad
to Oils stop this out of thesystem now because we're going into June,
which they have one off day.It's if you look at their June schedule,
it's absolutely insane. So hopefully getthis out of their system now and
they're able to get back on track. You know, this is the first
(08:20):
time they were swept since since Adliejoined the team, exactly yep, May
twenty twenty two when Adley got calledup. So he's gotten to experience some
exciting baseball. He's the main reasonfor it actually, But it's gonna happen
sometimes. Yeah, Well, they'regonna they'll be back, they'll be fine,
(08:41):
all right. Well, hopefully theycan smack the crap out of the
White Sox and enjoy some Chicago DeepDish pizza all at the same time.
That's what I said. That's right, that's right, all right, Amy
Jennings. I'll talk to you againhopefully, if not, tomorrow will very
soon. We'll catch up again.Tomorrow's gonna be a little crazy. We're
giving away a and uh excited.It is pretty exciting. We've got a
(09:03):
seven thousand dollars hot tub to giveaway and somebody, I mean, wouldn't
that be awesome to win going intoMemorial Day weekend. Absolutely, they can
just break it out and bite everybodyover. That's what I'm saying. The
neighbors are gonna be jealous. Amy. I will talk to you again soon.
And go oh's, go oh's.
