The Baltimore Orioles, despite "selling" at the deadline, won their next series against the Los Angeles Angels. You'll hear from Craig Albernaz, Pete Alonso, Mike Elias, and players following the trade deadline decisions. #Birdland #BaltimoreOrioles #MLBonX

SPEAKER_00

We got denim all the reader by the leaders. We know even if a fucking good out of the weather, that's how you feel, man. It's really how you feel. That's you on a photo. You already know though. We only live once that's the model to be yellow, and we bought it every day, every day, every day.

SPEAKER_01

Welcome back in, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of the Charmed City Sports Podcast. I'm your host, Jay Hollyhan. We're back here on this Friday afternoon as we recap the Orioles taking two of three from the Los Angeles Angels earlier in the week. Coming off of the trade deadline, and obviously all of the news that followed there about trading away Adley Rutschman, Taylor Ward, Tyler Wells, Dean Kramer, and the Orioles getting back pitching prospects and not anything that would necessarily put them quote unquote over the hump to for sure be a postseason team. We'll talk about some of that. You'll hear from Craig Albernaz, Pete Alonzo, Mike Elias, who sat down with the broadcast Tuesday evening to discuss the Orioles at the trade deadline and what really happened. Well, I guess he doesn't go into a full detail of what really happened, but gave you or gives you a little bit of an insight about the behind the scenes that went into dealing away Adley Rutchman and some of those other players that would have had an impact down the stretch. So we begin with discussing the series as a whole against the Angels. We'll table some of the other stuff for later. Tuesday, after the trade deadline had passed the 24 hours prior, Monday evening, the Orioles went out and defeated the Angels 3-1. Cade Povich pitched extremely well, had seven strikeouts. The pitching staff as a whole held the Angels to just one for twelve with runners in scoring position. And the Orioles got an early two-run single from Pete Alonso. Tyler O'Neill swatted his eighth homer of the year, and the Orioles held it down to win three-one. So off to a good start Tuesday evening. And then Wednesday saw the Orioles while the day before was a little more of their counterparts, the Angels putting together the offense, getting runners on base, and it was the Orioles who could just come through with a big knock. Tuesday, or I'm sorry, Wednesday, it was the O's who were smacking around the opposition. Trevor Rogers pitched brilliantly. Again, his season since early June has really taken a nice turn. He won six innings, striking out nine, allowing two runs to cross on three hits with no walks. The bullpen was really solid through three innings. Alex Hoppe came into the game and he pitched two-thirds of an inning, gave up a hit. The player that was acquired in the Taylor Ward trade about really the loan. And aside from Christian Franklin, who the Orioles got from the Nationals in a minor league to minor league trade and then promoted him, Hoppy's the only one that really has an opportunity to make an impact on this Orioles team down the stretch coming out of the bullpen. Now, what kind of an impact? That's yet to be seen. But no doubt the Orioles, uh, and we'll talk about this a little bit later, uh, do not necessarily have or did not necessarily acquire players that could have an immediate impact on the team compared to the ones that they obviously traded away. So we'll get into that in a moment. But he did a good job. The Orioles won 5-2. Tyler O'Neill blasted his ninth Homer of the Year in the fourth, and Kobe Mayo hit his fifteenth. He sent it 436 feet over the left center field wall. The Angels would plate one, Jose Siri and Wade Meckler would account for the only two runs for the Angels, the solo homer by Siri, and the RBI single by Meckler to make it three to two. But then Leote Tavares would come off the bench with Gunner on bass, and he would blast his sixth homer of the year to make it five to two, and the Orioles and their bullpen would hold on for the rest of the way for the 5-2 victory. Now, it's important to remember that as we start off here by talking about Tyler O'Neill, it's important to remember that there are players like Tyler O'Neill, like Trevor Rogers, who maybe O'Neal to a much lesser extent, but Trevor Rogers could have been someone that the Orioles moved on from. Now, Tyler O'Neill is a little tricky. He has currently this year and then next year, in which he makes $33 million. So it's or it would have been a lot harder to have moved him than obviously Trevor Rogers, who would just be a free agent, and there are tons of teams out there, I'm sure, who would look for starting pitching help, and specifically even if you can just get someone who can come in and be a fourth option in your rotation. But for Tyler O'Neill, he has been swinging the bat a lot better of late. On the season, he's only hitting 219 with nine home runs and 20 RBIs. It's not, shall we say, all that valuable. Now, what's interesting though is when you look at the summer for Tyler O'Neill, when you look at what's been such a difficult season, such a difficult really last two seasons, in which last year he was hampered by injuries and the play at time when he was healthy wasn't exactly all that impressive. But in July he hit 286 with five home runs and nine RBIs. Now in August he's hitting five hundred. He's eight eight. He's four for eight right now with two home runs and three ribies. So his production is starting to take shape. And in games that the Orioles have won and twenty-three of his starts compared to when they've lost in twenty-six in wins, he's hitting two ninety-six, six homers, and twelve ribies. In losses, he's hitting one sixty with three homers and eight RBIs. So it's clear that Tyler O'Neal's success has had an impact on the Baltimore Orioles when it has been few and far between. But it's good to see him swinging the bat a lot better, and hopefully that can be key down the stretch. But let's hear from Craig Albernaz on O'Neill.

SPEAKER_06

You know, with TO's track record and who he is as a player, his ability to he can change the game with one swing. And you know, we saw that today. It's a testament to TO, his hard work, and not wavering from anything and really owning it and stepping into the the adversity that he's been facing. And now we get to see him come out the other side, and it's been fun to watch.

SPEAKER_01

Now you could ask yourself, well, is that the reason why the Orioles decided to trade away Taylor Ward? And I would say if it is, that's not really the way I would have gone about it. I don't think you'd want to trade two corner outfielders, one that has more production as a whole than the other, because if we know Tyler O'Neill goes cold, he goes ice cold. But we know if Taylor Ward gets going, he can be a table setter for the offense, as we saw throughout his tenure in Baltimore, as little as it was. Now Leote Tavares is another guy that the Orioles could very well have said, you know what, he's under contract for one year here. He's someone that if we are gonna completely sell off, we'd look to move him because hey, we don't necessarily need a center fielder. Uh now he is hitting 220 this year with six home runs and forty-one RBIs, but if it was a small trade, the Oriol could have dealt him away. They didn't. And he has really come up big for them at times. I mean, the home run production's not great, but 41 RBIs off of 66 hits in 346 plate appearances is pretty good. When he's coming up with runners on base, he's been pretty productive for the O's. Um maybe not totally, but in terms of the way it it looks when he is making production, it's usually helping the team score runs and in turn helping win games. And we saw that on Wednesday night where he blasted that two-run homer. And Craig Alberna spoke about Tavaris afterwards.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, my confidence level, just like anything with our team, it hasn't wavered and pinch hitting is really hard, and our guys have have really stepped up and really owned that side of the game and being ready, being getting in the cage, being prepped for that at bat. You know, obviously it's it's not as easy as plug and play, and it's a homer, you know. There's a lot that goes into it, but you know, our guys have been outstanding with getting ready, being diligent with the prep, and and Leote was awesome tonight. Like he was, you know, he was ready for a couple innings, and that moment came up and he was ready and put a great swing on a slider, and that was a huge two runs for us to kind of give us a little more cushion going into the ninth inning. So that Leote, just like all year with Leote, he's such a pro, such a great teammate. So it was great to see him come through for us.

SPEAKER_01

Well, the good news for the Orioles is that with Leote Tavares, with Tyler O'Neill, perhaps if they can continue to swing the bat as well as they were a little bit before the All-Star break, and now after the All-Star Break, hopefully the Oriol can continue to win some of these ball games and in turn continue their push for the postseason. Now, yesterday they would fall to the Angels by a final score of four to one. The O's eight walks, four hits, twelve base runners, unable to get guys moving around, unable to score any run any runs aside from one solo homer from Dipazo, as the Orioles just didn't have it yesterday. Brandon Young, who couldn't make it out of the fifth, unfortunate. You gotta, you know, turn the page and move on to now the Rangers, but see the part here with the O's and the way that this is more so unfolded in terms of the wild card race and where they sit now post-trade deadline. You have to have the mindset of, well, it was kind of just the Angels. Yeah, I think as a fan, you sort of have to sit there and say, well, hold your horses here on getting too excited uh about this team maybe making the postseason. They did only take two or three from an Angels team that's you know, currently last in the American League at 44 and 71. So you can't go gaga over the situation right now. And Dylan Beavers after the game yesterday, he did not seem too enthused about some of the decisions earlier in the week. You'll hear from him in a moment, and the question was asked about where he believes the Orioles are at now after losing in the finale against the Angels and more so where the team sits after the deadline.

SPEAKER_07

Obviously, it was tough, tough day on the deadline. Um we lost really good players and good teammates, but uh, you know, just like them, um, they're gonna they're gonna push forward and try and win every night, you know, for their respective teams. I feel like we kind of have to unfortunately go about it business as usual and uh try and you know win every night. Same same kind of deal as before now.

SPEAKER_01

That could be a pure example of just a young player because obviously Dylan Beavers, this is his first time really going through this at the trade deadline. I mean, having been up with the Orioles all year, last year he came up in August after the deadline and didn't really experience a ton about, you know, what it's like to be in the Bigs, about the business side of things and whatnot. Now, to be honest with you, as I've spoken on here before, I do not necessarily agree with the moves that the Orioles made. And you'll hear from guys in a moment, and then there are some contrasting opinions. As you heard there from Dylan Beavers, who obviously sounded very dejected, one about the Orioles losing yesterday, I think that was a big reason for the kind of sadness in his voice, but I also think if you're a young player drafted by the organization, and you just saw the organization's leader in Adley Rutchman, the fan favorite guy, the guy that's been a catalyst all year, a guy that you've seen all year went healthy, he's done everything just about right, he gets traded, it kind of makes you feel a little wonder, you know, a little worried about I don't want to say the incentive, but it certainly makes you think, well, if it can happen to him, it can happen to me. Now that can have two different effects that can make a guy not necessarily want to play, although, you know, not want to play before the Orioles, although right now he would need to earn more cachet in order for him to up his trade value and get moved. But I'm sure there is a good part there that's like, man, I'm not re-signing with this team when my contract comes up, if that's the way they're gonna treat guys that they develop and turn into big league stars and guys that we look up to in the in the clubhouse. So all that's very very interesting to take in. Now, here were Craig Albanes and Pete Alonso on their post-trade deadline thoughts Tuesday evening.

SPEAKER_06

The game moves on. There's no again, like I said before, no one feels sorry for us, no one feels any type of empathy, you know. You still have to go out and play, and the Angels are trying to win. We're trying to win, we've got to go out and play, and our guys did a great job of of harnessing those emotions and you know, keeping the main thing the main thing, and going out there and playing a complete game of baseball. And yeah, it's not easy, but at the end of the day, you gotta go out and play, and our guys did a great job of that tonight.

SPEAKER_02

Pete, can you take us inside a little bit um what it's like given the trade deadline, given the deals yesterday, and given the fact that you have to come back and play a baseball game tonight without some of your friends?

SPEAKER_11

Well, uh, I'll tell you what, the the people we have in that clubhouse, I mean, they're they're true professionals, and we're gonna go out there giving everything we have, regardless of the circumstances. This group is tough, and uh, we want to win regardless of uh uh of yesterday. But moving forward, we want to win. We know that uh we know that this organization wants to win, we know that the fans in the city want us to win. So we're gonna keep going for you guys and for each other, and uh let's let's have a hell of the rest of the year.

SPEAKER_02

Pete, you're one of the leaders of this club. You've been through this before. Did you have a message for the team yourself about what was going on in the situation and what's left the final 49 games now?

SPEAKER_11

Uh let's roll. Let's let's let's make it happen. We can't sit around and wait. We gotta make it happen. And tonight, getting this win, it's a that's a great that's a great first step. I mean, 49's a a lot of games, and uh we gotta we gotta play our best baseball. We need uh we need the we need the fans to come out and support us, and and we're gonna give the best we can every single night.

SPEAKER_01

So now we're gonna work backwards to forward to forwards with these interviews. So, as I mentioned, contrasting opinions. Pete Alonzo sounded, and you know, hey, he's been there before with the Mets. He saw guys get, I mean, Jacob de Grom, you know, got dealt, or rather signed away by the Texas Rangers, but he saw Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander get dealt at the deadline a couple years ago with the Mets. It's not uncommon for it to obviously happen, but it certainly is it certainly is a different situation when you have a guy in like a Scherzer or Verlander get traded from the Mets, and then a guy like Adley Rutschman. I mean, obviously Shur Scherzer and Verlander were not homegrown Mets, and of course Rutschman was a homegrown Oriole. But the mindset is the way you have to be if you're Pete Alonzo. You can't you you have to put it out there if you are the players, you cannot dwell on it. And now we'll hear from Trevor Rogers, Colton Kowser, Jackson Holliday, and then again Pete Alonzo in the clubhouse ahead of Tuesday's game as they talked about their feelings on Adley Rutschman being traded.

SPEAKER_10

I couldn't believe it. I was like, I you know, I heard that you know it's getting closer, and I'm like, yeah, that's that both I don't think that's gonna happen, and it happened. I was just kind of blown away how shocked and um, you know, it's just the deadline, you never know what's gonna happen, and it's it's a cut through business. You know, it's badly all the best over there. They're really good baseball team right now. He's only gonna make it better. You know, we got it's gonna be really good for us.

SPEAKER_09

Uh interesting player side actual talent, you know. You know, someone who's been anchoring this team for the past past four and a half years, so um you know, he's truly gonna be this tier and you know, as a friend, someone who uh I've grown really close with is you know gonna be gonna be at my wedding and you know someone who's coming to this dearly on a day-to-day basis. And um so you know, that's that's part of the on the human side, you know, that's part that sucks. Um it's not good to see him every day, but um you know, he's gonna do great things and you know always be in his corner. Um but yeah, it's it's tough.

SPEAKER_08

Um it's a sad thing that's a guy that I go that that means so much to the organization uh but it's it's a stucky part of baseball. Um it's a top of baseball. Um we got to keep pushing and going. Um unfortunately we've we've got to go out there and and and beat him. Um he's a great player and great great teammate. Um it's uh it's a tough thing to take out, but uh we gotta go out there.

SPEAKER_11

It's it's uh conflicting emotions because if if you're expected to do something and you fall short, there's consequences to that. And that's that's just the reality of the industry. Um yes, we've lost, yes, we've lost uh uh some some good talents, but also we've gained we've gained some as well. You lose it's I think uh for us, like like I said before, we have a really special day today. We have a major major league debut happening today. Um that that shouldn't be taken lightly. And for us, like to out and and kind of be stuck on it, it would be doing uh this organization uh a huge disservice because we still we have a bunch of talented players. Yes, there's a lot of yes, Adley, Ward, and Wellsy and Dean, those are guys that um that that have meant a lot to uh not just the past, but what's kind of been going on this year. But uh we have to turn the page. Um and that's just that's just the truth.

SPEAKER_01

A couple of guys were with Adley when he got the news. Colton Kowser was there, I believe they were waiting on Gunnar Henderson, and as you heard, Trevor Rogers was with Dean Kramer when he got traded. It was not I I assume, you know, they they get the same report, I mean, uh and even ahead of time than everyone else does. So they know what's kind of going on, but I think as the day maybe was progressing, perhaps a lot of the players thought, hey, Adley's not gonna get moved. You know, I I wouldn't I don't there was no buzz about Dean, and I think that's due in part to the fact that Dean doesn't hold the same cachet as Adley, but there was no real buzz about Ward being moved. There I mean there was there were people and always are who are looking at what right-handed bats could really fit, especially in their outfield, and Taylor Ward's name would pop up, but there was no, hey, this team's checking in on him, that team's checking in on him with Adley. We knew the Yankees were looking in. Didn't necessarily hear about the Red Sox too much, but the Orioles no doubt went out and made the move to trade Adley Rutschman, moved Dean Kramer, and of course Taylor Ward, Tyler Wells, and it kind of shook everyone up a good bit. Now, here was Michaelis on when did the deadline plans change?

SPEAKER_03

Well, number one, we lost two out of three against Philly, um, which was uh a negative impact. We lost some some uh standings uh over the weekend. Uh, but ultimately it was about going out into the market and and seeing what the actual trades were on a case-by-case basis, what the returns would be, what the exchange uh prices would be. And we made trades to uh from a value standpoint in and up there were a lot of other trades that we did not make because we didn't like the price tag, or we didn't like the return. Um and uh as you said, we we didn't um dismantle the team. I still think we have a really good team in place. We've got players that are poised to come up with help here in the second half. Uh but uh at that point in time we made several trades, and many of them were on the sell label, as you said.

SPEAKER_01

So we heard from him after the trade deadline had passed Monday evening and his media availability, and he speaks about the fact that the Phillies series loss is what changed a good bit of what their trade deadline plans were. Well, he came he met with the media Saturday evening ahead of Saturday's game after the Orioles came back and beat the Phillies on Friday. So and he mentioned to the media that there was gonna be no definite label that the Orioles were gonna have heading into the deadline. There was no definite label that they were going to be for sure buyers or for sure sellers. Well you're telling me all that then changed the next two days when you lost a rain-delayed game to the Phillies on Sunday that was kind of you know, in a sense, just sort of BS and the fact that the you you can't control the weather and you lost your starting pitcher for, you know, the the entire game. I mean, who knows how that game plays out? Who knows, you know, I mean, Saturday, I didn't think the Orioles played all that bad, just the Phillies were able to strike and the Orioles weren't. And for the majority, again, since a little bit before the All-Star break until after, they were giving you a reason to at least give them some sort of help, whether it would have been out of the bullpen, whether it could have been maybe another starting pitcher, whatever it could have been. There, you know, or or a bat. Like if you were to trade away Adley Rutschman, at the very least you could be getting something back that could have had an immediate impact instead of pitching prospects, although the Orioles feel very high about the prospects they got back from the Red Sox. And here was Elias again.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, if we're gonna do something like that, we want to make sure it's worthwhile. Uh the uh prospects that we got uh in in the Russian trade in particular, um highly impactful pitching prospects, as you mentioned. Uh Anthony Heights is one of the hottest pitching prospects in baseball. And uh 30, top 40 prospect, 40, 48 first year, let's do the third. And we're now in a position where our our pitching pipeline is as strong as it's ever been, and uh really projects to be a big strength going forward. I want to reiterate, we don't like that we were in this position. Sure. Um and we are not rebuilding the team. We have a very strong competitive team out on the field right now with a ton of talent at the big league level and a very full minor league system again. Um so we're ready to jump back in the fight. Uh, but that's uh you know, that's what happened the other day, and and uh we move forward.

SPEAKER_01

The one other bit about all that that just doesn't make the least bit of sense to me is the fact that it feels like throughout this entire process, it was we want to be aggressive at the deadline, we want to add, and we'll let you know if anything changes. Well, they were kind of treading water, but they were playing a lot better. And it felt like, okay, this is kind of for a degree here since like late April, and at times they're in June, this is the best we have seen the Orioles in quite some time. This is the most competitive baseball they have shown. And unfortunately it wasn't enough for Elias. But I'll tell you what, I think it wasn't just Elias' opinion, I think it came from above him. I think they're in my opinion, and this is not any, you know, quote unquote insider knowledge, but if I had to assume, I would assume that the uh the Orioles brass said, you know what? We don't really like the way we're trending, we're not gonna take on more contracts, we know we can get something back for Rutgman, we know we can get something back for Ward, we need to go this direction because what we're looking at right now is not good enough and not enticing enough for us to go out and trade for talent. And the Orioles, of course, did not do that. But after the series against the Angels, right now, they set a game out of a wild card spot, that final wildcard spot occupied by the Rangers, the Cleveland Guardians who got smacked around this week by the New York Mets, they said a half a game back of the wildcard spot, and the Orioles are only a game back at fifty-six in fifty-nine, tied with the Detroit Tigers, Mariners are a game and a half back, and then the Blue Jays are actually two and a half games back. So a lot of uh interesting news and notes on that. You got the Minnesota Twins who are half a game back, they sit in that final spot, they hold the tiebreaker over Cleveland, so they sit right there waiting for Texas and um who obviously playing the Baltimore Orioles coming off of a series one against the Giants, but the Rangers before that win the other night against the Giants in game two of that series, which then saw them take the series yesterday, the Rangers had lost six in a row. They lost two or three to Tampa Bay, swept by the Astros, lost the first game against the Giants, then came back to beat the Giants back-to-back days. Now, around the American League wildcard, you have so you got the O's and Rangers. That is obviously a huge opportunity for the Orioles to make up ground. Cleveland plays the White Sox, the Twins play the Brewers, which should be interesting to note there. Houston plays San Diego, another wild card hopeful team in the National League, and the Rays play the Mariners. The Tigers also play the Giants, and I mean, hey, the that certainly bodes well all of a sudden for the Tigers to be playing a much lesser opponent than the Giants while everyone else is either playing other postseason wildcard teams like the Orioles taking on the Rangers or teams that are certainly having the upper hand, like taking on the Padres and the Brewers. So that's interesting to note too. Now the Orioles, they take two of three to the Rangers, or if God forbid they sweep, and there is that chance that the Orioles could, by the end of the weekend, hold a wild card spot. But they're gonna have to really go out there and prove it on the field. And here's your starting pitching matchup. Game one tonight, Nathan Iavaldi for the Rangers takes them out. He's 10-9 with a 4-3-1 ERA. Not the type of season that we're too typical of season seeing out of Nathan Evaldi. He versus the Orioles earlier in the year gave up six runs on eight hits and four innings with five strikeouts and three walks. He's five-two with a four-one four ERA and eight starts at home this year. For the Orioles tonight, Shane Bass will take the mound. He's four and ten with a three-eight six ERA. He went, or he's gone rather, eleven innings, giving up six runs on twelve hits and eleven strikeouts and two walks since twenty twenty-four against the Rangers. Those being in two starts. He's one-six with a four-oh one ERA on the road this year and eleven starts. So it should be interesting to see as something's gonna have to give here tonight between him and Ivaldi. Game two will see Jacob deGrom take them out in game one tonight, by the way, on Apple TV. DeGrom's seven and seven with a three-nine six ERA this year. He allowed three runs on six hits and four and two thirds innings with seven strikeouts earlier this season against the O's. He's four and two with a three-oh four ERA at home this year and ten starts. And then Kyle Bradish will take them out. He's seven and ten with a three-seven nine ERA. He hasn't faced the Rangers since 2024. In the two games he started at Arlington, Texas, he's pitched six and two thirds innings, giving up a run on seven hits with seven strikeouts and four walks. In his second of the two starts, he only pitched into the second inning because he was injured after taking a 104 mile per hour ball off the foot. Line drive coming back at him. Tyler Wells pitched five innings in that game. Wells was at that point in the rotation and he said, you know what? I'll take one for the team and I'll go out there and I'll pitch five innings. The Orioles ended up winning that game. Bradish is four and five with a four-two-three ERA on the road this year in eleven starts. So he's gonna have to be right on with the Grom. Game three, Kumar Rocker takes him out for Texas. He's four and eight with a four-oh eight ERA. He's never faced the Orioles in his career, and he's three and seven with a four-two-six ERA in 13 starts at home. Now, Rocker has kind of an interesting career to say the least, was originally drafted by the Mets in 2021, chose not to sign, had injury had uh surgery on his shoulder that September, and then signed with the Rangers ahead of the 22 MLB draft, uh bounced around in their minor league systems throughout the last couple years, uh made his MLB debut last year against the Mariners, made Texas's uh opening day roster ahead of this year, and obviously now has earned himself a spot for a team competing for a postseason spot and the division as well. So for the Orioles, it's TBD. I would uh uh anticipate this to be Cade Povich. It's his spot, it's the number five spot in the rotation. He's two and one with a three-nine one ERA, pitched five innings against the Rangers earlier this season, allowing two runs on five hits with three strikeouts and a walk. He's 0-1 with a 7-1-1 ERA and two starts and an appearance on the road this year. So it could be Povich or it could be Chris Bassett, who's 4-4 with a 5-2-7 ERA. He's been getting some minor league rehab starts, so might we see him on Sunday? He's next scheduled to pitch tonight. We'll see if he misses that start. He allowed four runs on six hits and four and a third innings with three strikeouts and four walks earlier in the season. He's one-three with a 8-1-4 ERA and six starts on the road this year. I would feel better just going with Cade Povich. I understand Bassett at this point in the season wanting to go with the veteran player, but I just think it would be in the Orioles' best interest to say, you know what, let's just go with the kid and give him every opportunity to really show his talents. So we'll see what the Orioles end up doing with the Sunday spot. But thanks everyone for tuning into this episode. We'll be back on throughout the weekend. We are going to be getting into some Baltimore Ravens training camp news and notes coming up here soon, so be on the lookout for that. But until then, thanks everyone for tuning in, and we'll talk to you next time.

SPEAKER_05

Something magic happens. Every time you go, you make the magic happen. The magic of Oreals baseball when the game is close. And the yokes are hot. To give it all they got.
