 What do you think Nick and that we know Houston you just talked about how good they are so they're the cream of the crop in the West Maybe all of baseball. Who's the second best team I think ten in a row? I mean, I mean, it's got to be the Oakland a's right now Exactly where they're at these guys know exactly who there are Billy B knows who his team is He knows his payroll. He knows he's not going to be bringing over high-powered You know stars getting paid a whole lot of money right now It's the same as it was when I was there as it is right now these dudes do everything great They don't do anything great, but they do everything well They're a team that kind of plays together and think about it right now put it in perspective They have the same amount of wins as the Boston Red Sox do right now I mean you can't sleep on Texas offenses that they have Oakland in batting average home runs Mm-hmm doubles the only thing that concerns me is who's gonna fill in for the rotation for the Texas They can continue to pitch down the season and stay in that race I love what minor has turned into especially being the a's the veteran Asian Lance Lane has looked solid But after that it's gonna be tough Especially pitching in Arlington with a ball flies out of the ballpark. So what does the back of the rotation in the bullpen do? I don't think they're gonna be there in the end I love the a's defense and a's can score runs with anybody anyway, and you know come August it gets hot and it kind of wears down Oh guys, you know what? And disappointing that you know Mike trout best player in baseball is not on the contending team once again with the angels At least it appears that way. We'll be missing him Yeah, but you were hoping that maybe they could hang around for a wild card or something But they've had pitching problems for for years the angels have cure Meyer is made a living up these catches So let's look at some of the other catches of the other candidates Lorenzo Cain Closing out the Brewers victory against the Cardinals that was on opening day Byron Buxton to the wall Christian Stewart of the Tigers got movement wow Kevin Polar now with the Giants here Nick that's cold bloody at a homer. He climbed the wall and took it away from Senzel I'm a little Oriano Showy Vado thought he had a homer and Mike fires kept the no-hitter intact and got it because of that grab And Jackie Bradley Jr Over the wall here. It's like I was on a Southwest flight He made that look too easy That's too easy Please wish I never seen you do none like that. No, what's you kidding me Josh Reddick? This would have been a go-ahead three-run homer in the ninth But he takes it away from Hunter Pence. He brought that out of the side. So what do you think if we have they're all great? That's a terrific baseball defense underrated when we sit and watch we take it for granted Which one with cure Meyer in that mix would you put at the top? Oh, that's a lot of good catch You like the Loriado grab. Yeah, I like the Loriado catch only because it saved that no-hitter and normally in a no-hitter There's always that little pressure this play that kind of comes out. I think you know Ramon has been doing this the second time He's done that. I mean the kid is absolute cannon out there really kind of making a name for himself on the defensive side Jackie Bradley Jr. Has continued to make a name of himself for being an outfield one of the best outfielders in all of baseball He's fun to watch. He makes it look so casual. I mean it looks there's a lot of gold sprinkled around that outfield They save a lot of runs because of athleticism of Jackie Bradley and Mookie Bats been attendee But he is the guy in the middle of that field that makes it easy. He can cover a lot of ground really really proud of this Yeah, and any time a guy goes you play the all over a wall Just to balance the timing so many things have to go right on that you got to remember these guys are running full speed Into the wall. I would let it go in their steps the whole not making sure they get a spike in the wall Get themselves over the wall make the catch pause a little bit take your picture It's it's really it's a fun fun part of the game
