Boo coming in hot. Shinji, what’s going on, brother? On a Monday. On a Monday, you got a little not a case of the Mondays as like a downer. Sean Casey was burning the midnight oil all weekend, rocking out. Tell us what happened, dude. Dude, great weekend, dude. Pearl Jam came into Pittsburgh and they haven’t been here in 12 years, which is incredible. Just an incredible weekend, dude. Um, you know, the band was on fire. Ed was on fire. You know, Friday night’s show was great. Uh, Saturday was great. Saturday, I got a chance to on the off day. I picked up Ed at the hotel, brought him out to the Casey’s Clubhouse. Dude, it was awesome. Did Did everybody in shock? I saw the pictures like we Well, you know what? I I I I came in kind of stealth because I just I didn’t want like it to be too crazy and obviously you know he had a game show Sunday night so I brought him in the back through the clubhouse through the through the playground which is cool with the playground up at our facility when you come in through the playground this huge playground on the other side of the playground it butts up to the field so then you see the game going on. So initially I show in the playground. We walk over and a couple people were like, “Oh yeah, do you think we get a picture and great show last night?” Because he had just played Friday night. Sure. So it was cool. And Ed’s the best. He’s just a great guy, you know, just an unbelievable human. So we went out, we’re there, and it was me, Ed, and Sarah. And then uh and you know, Tim Gart was in town, you know, for the weekend from Seattle. And dude, it was the it was we we you know, we’ve re rebranded from Miracle League of the South Hills to Casey’s Clubhouse. So we have like a legit mascot now which is a buffalo like you know when the whole thought of breakthrough pro run charging the storm charging life you know I mean our kids our kids are resilient you know we have 500 special needs kids we’re resilient they’re going to keep charging this wonderful life we have so I was telling Ed about about the and the buffalo’s name is case the buffalo nice dude first time we unveil it was that day so I’m with Ed Veter standing there and here comes case the buffalo and I’m like dude I’ve never seen that either like me and Ed were like what? So, we had a great time um you know with that and then we watched games and was great. But here’s a quick story. One of our players Andy Wagner who’s been with us since day one. So, I want to say he was 12 when we started something like that. Now he’s 24 25. I could have that wrong but saying he has been around and Andy’s the best man. He’s he’s got Down syndrome, but like and like, you know, he’s so loving and he’s such a great kid and he’s he’s fearless. You want to talk about Buffalo? Andy Wagner’s feel fearless. When he threw out the first pitch in Cincinnati a couple years ago, he went he went he was throwing it out to me. He went right to the bump, right to the freaking mound. Threw it. I I threw it out at opening day last year and I’m terrified, dude. I’m like I wish I was Andy Wagner right now because I’m terrified. I got on the mound. I was terrified. So Andy, when we got there, he wanted to volunteer. He’s been playing our league. He wanted to volunteer at our league. So he wanted to be an announcer. Nice. So Andy’s on the mic and and Gbby, you know, Tim tells tells Ed, “Hey, this is Andy Wagner on the mic. He’s one of our players, but he’s he’s volunteering.” And Ed thought that was so cool. That’s incredible. So when when the when the game was over, Ed wanted to meet Andy Wagner, but he got in the car with with his dad, Doug, and they left. So the next day on Saturday, Ed calls me. He’s like, he’s like, “Case, I got an idea.” I was like, “What do you got?” He’s like, “Do you think Andy Wagner will come up and announce a song for us?” on Sunday night cuz he’s an announcer. Like Ed was like so passionate. He’s an announcer. Would he come up and announce Even Flow? Holy. And I’m like, “Bro, he I think he would love that.” So I call his dad, Doug. Turns out Doug’s one of the biggest Pearl Jam fans ever. It was so funny. I’m like I’m like, “Hey Doug, I don’t know. I just talked to Eddie Veter. He wants to know if Andy would come up and introduce of Even Flow during the show.” And and and Doug’s like, “Can I get a picture?” Like, so dude, we go backstage. So Ed’s like, “Okay, come on in. Bring Andy back at 8:00 and I’m going to write a script for him.” So dude, have you ever seen Ed’s handwriting? It’s the nicest handwriting in the world. In the world. Yeah. those guitars he signs. Yeah, it’s beautiful. Right. So, so we go backstage at 8. I bring Doug and his, you know, his wife and and uh Andy back there and and we meet Ed and Ed’s like, “All right, let me let me let me write out, you know, he had sent me the script.” So, we like, “Let me write a new one out.” So, Ed sits down at the desk, writes out the script. “Hello, Pittsburgh. My name is Andy. I love, you know, sports and rock and roll.” And then he goes, and he does this incredible, and I I’ll send you the video. Maybe you can even post the video. Yes, absolutely. So, so sure enough, dude, here we go. And Andy Andy recites it in the back. I’m like, “Dude, he’s gonna nail this.” He has. So, I I’m on side side stage with Andy, you know, I got the set list for the night. So, and I’m like, “Andy, you ready to go?” And he’s like, “Yeah, I’m ready.” Meanwhile, I’m I’m nervous. I’m not even doing anything, but I’m nervous, bro. Sure enough, Ed gets up there right after uh I believe it was immortality. Right after immortality. No, Faithful. Faithful. Right after Faithful, he goes into his thing. Like Ed’s so good on the mic, he’s able to bring everybody in. And he talks about the day, Saturday, spending his off day coming to the Casey’s Clubhouse and seeing Andy announce. He’s like, I want to bring up my new friend who’s part of Casey’s Clubhouse. I’m want Sean Casey to bring up my new friend Andy. So, I went up with him. Oh, dude. I went up. So, I went up on stage, dude. And I was like, you know me. I’m like, let’s go. And the place just starts going starts going nuts, dude. And like, dude, I’ve hit in front of 50,000 people before. I’ve hit in front of a 100,000 people before. I’ve been in the World Series. Something about a rock and roll crowd is so different, dude. Because the energy, the vibe, Pearl Jam, the way they do it, the way they rock out. They’re such good guys, community. So, I’m on that stage, dude, and I’m looking out at 16,000 people, and I’m like, “Wow.” I look at Andy, I’m like, “You ready to go?” He’s, you know, he’s like, “Yeah.” So, we walk up and there’s Ed. Ed. Ed’s standing here. I’m standing here and Andy’s in between us. The whole crowd before Andy can get even say a word. Chinch. They start chanting 16,000. Andy, Andy, Andy. And it was like and and it was great was because Ed looks at me, I look at Ed. We were talking about this afterwards. Ed looks at me, I look at Ed, and I’m like kind of like that. Hey, well done, dude. Like, this was the right call. This is the right call. Like this is this was this what you thought it was going to be. It is. It’s more. Yeah, it’s more. And I look at the band members like they’re those guys are all great. Jeff Aman, Mike McCree, Matt Cameron, Stone Gotcha. Look at all that. And they’re all like kind of like this is awesome. They’re all like this is awesome. Right. So Andy goes through his thing. He reads exactly what Ed says and at the end he says and I want to play my favorite song for the last show. It’s the last show of the tour. Dude, these guys are done. And then he comes out and he goes, “Even flow.” And the place just goes, they go nuts. I grab Andy, you know, Ed puts his arm on it. I look at Ed, I go, “Nice work.” Grab Andy, we walk off and the band just boom. They just go right into even. It was incredible, dude. It was actually incredible moment. Like, I walked off that stage with goosebumps all over my body, dude. It was amazing. And Andy nailed it like he always does. Just Oh, by the way, by the way, Andy had a powerlifting competition that morning. A strong kid. And so we’re about to go up on stage and I was just thinking lately. I’m like, I gotta get my I gota start working legs, dude. I look like I’m riding a chicken. I’m like, what are we doing? And and I go, Andy, what what’d you do with the what you do with the powerlifting? How’d the competition go this morning? He goes, great. He goes Andy goes, I squatted 302 lbs. Can you imagine putting 302 pounds on your shoulders right now, change? No. My knee, first of all, my kneecaps would shoot up my body like same thing. I’m like frisbes. And so I look at him right before Ed calls us up and I’m like, “You did 302 pounds today? A squat?” Like God, dude, I’m trying to do body squats in the kitchen like trying to get going. But dude, that was my weekend, man. And and it was incredible, man. It was incredible. One of the greatest moments of my life, probably. But but but not not only for me, but the Casey’s Clubhouse community, you know, Tim Gart, you know, just everybody that’s involved, you know, my wife was there, Sarah, you know, everybody’s involved. But but to give that moment to Andy Wagner with Ed knowing the impact that this guy Ed knowing the impact that he has on people, dude, that’s a Pearl Jam concert. You know, he rarely will bring people up. For him to bring up, you know, Andy who’s got Down syndrome, but he’s the greatest kid, strong, obviously strongest kid, most resilient kid, toughest kid. And you want to talk about fear? No fear, bro. It doesn’t live in this kid. It was incredible. Wow. Well, I’m not telling you what I did this weekend. I want you to build a shed even I’m not even gonna talk like this. Nothing bad. I thought I had a good weekend apparently. Jeez. Start making plans, right? That’s seriously though. That’s a That’s unbelievable. Unbelievable, dude. Unbelievable. And like I said, I’ll send you the video. Maybe you see if you can post. It was funny. My phone start, you know, I didn’t realize how many of my buddies were at the phone start blowing up like this is incredible. This is amazing. But I actually think that moment elevated elevated the the crowd. I I felt like from that moment on everyone’s like that just the Pittsburgh fans, dude, they’re the best. That blue collar, let’s get it, you know? Yeah. Plus, they’re like such a baseball town and he’s such a baseball fan. Like I watched I watched like a quarter of the the Friday’s concert because Jay Gilly Jason Gley was like live streaming for there. Hope I don’t get in trouble for that. I know he was Yeah. Gley was with me. He’s like, “Yeah, Case.” I’m like, “What are you doing?” He’s like, “Instagram live.” I’m like, “Get a hold of yourself, Grill.” Jesus. All right, let’s keep the momentum going because it was a big weekend, dude. It was rivalry weekend. So much to talk about. Sean Casey, producerhost, had a great idea of how we can navigate all the stuff that happened because MLB.com will Leech just came out with his uh, you know, power rankings and it’s an interesting power rankings, but it almost also parallels what happened this weekend with where the teams are and how it’s structured. So, we’re going to go down a list. Here’s what I’ll do first is I’ll read them from 10 back and then we’ll go back down the line and explain what’s going on. So, 10 Mariners, previously nine. Nine twins, previously 18. Giants. That’s what a 13game winning streak will do for you. Yeah, there you go. Giants are eight. They were previously eight, but they’re playing well. Wilbur Flores looks like an MVP. What are we doing? Yeah, right. Cubs seven. They dropped a couple points. Phillies are six, but they had a big matchup against Paul to talk about. Yankees five. They were seven. Oh boy. Mets are three. They were four. Padres’s in between them at four. And then number two, the Dto Tigers. And number one, the Dodgers, they got to be number one until somebody, I don’t know, sets fire to Dodger Stadium. So, where do we begin? You want to start from the top and go down? Yeah, let’s start from the top because, dude, it changers back season debut and then they’re talking about they’re like he’s with his two strikeouts, he’s only 30 away from 3,000 career strikeouts. And it brings me back, dude. I was the first big leager he ever faced. I don’t give a crap what anybody in spring training dominating. I was the first person that Clayton Kershaw ever faced in 2008, my last year in the big leagues. I go to Terry Franone. I’m dude, who’s this dude like 88 on the 89 on the mound. Oh, some rookie from the back field. Oh, okay. I go up there, bro. He hits me with 98 at the black at the knees. I kind I kind of like I It rattled me. I’m like I looked over Joe Tory. They’re kind of giving like they know something. I don’t know. Like, right. Next pitch, he hits me with a freaking hammer that like totally buckles me. like, oh, wham, strike two. I’m like, wow, that that’s impressive. So, now I’m like, okay, this guy’s got to be a top prospect, right? J, she hits me with another fuel. 98 outside black. It was strike three. I took it, calls it a ball. I’m like, oh god, respect. I’m like, I’m getting abused right here. Yeah, total respect, dude. Total respect, dude. And I, like you said, and like, you know, I don’t strike out a lot. No. He hits me, dude, with a curveball. a ZTO curveball with like spin rate, you know, they didn’t there was no spin rate back then. I was like, “Wow, it was at my face.” I just Tony frozen pizza like, “Oh, whoa, whoa.” I in and out, strike three. And I come back and I remember telling Tito, I go, “You don’t know who this guy is.” He goes, “No, but I’m just glad I’m not you right now.” I go, “That was that was abuse. That was abused.” And it was. But I’m looking at him now. Guy’s been in the big leagues 18 years. He’s back for another season about to get his 13 third 3,000 strikeout. And I always saw I always thought when he got to the big leagues and he was punching tickets, I always thought, “Oh, good. I don’t feel so bad.” Yeah. Anomaly. The guy’s like a Hall of Famer. Like at first ballot, no question. It’s amazing. Yeah. And it’s amazing how good the Dodgers are. They’re they’re loaded. Yeah. They’re doing it right. But that we expected. What we did not expect this season is from our number two team, the Tigers. Why are they number two? Yeah. Just Javi Bayz. the resurgence of Javi Bayas. He I think it was John Hman. Somebody I was reading the other day was like just give him the comeback player of the year right now already. Yeah, that’s incredible. Well, how do you quantify that, Sean? Like, you know, I think I think I honestly think he was frustrated the last couple years, especially last year when they made that run the Tigers and like he got benched like whether like we’re worse if you’re in the lineup, you know, and they gave him the big money a few years ago, but Jav Bayz moving to center field. Maybe that took some meant some stuff mentally. He’s played great center field. Oh, what an athlete, dude. What an athlete to just go out there and like Tatis. Oh, go go go from short to center to outfield. Okay. Yeah. And then become a goal glover. But I just think, dude, I think I think right now he’s, you know, he’s he’s he’s hitting ground balls up the middle. He’s starting to drive the ball to left center gap again. He looks like he’s on more breaking balls. Like I I remember when I was with the Yankees and we’re like, “Let’s just throw him a couple sliders.” He came up with the game on the line a couple times in 2023. We’re like, “Oh, we’re going to win this game. He’s gonna punch out.” and he did and now I feel like he’s on those pitches. Um, so happy for him, really happy for Jav because he’s a good dude and and getting booed like that for a couple years isn’t easy. But Spencer Spencer Torqulson might be the story. He’s got more home runs I think now than he did all last year and he’s tied for second in the AL in RBI’s. So he’s driving in runs. The the the the um rotation’s been great. The bullpin’s been great. AJ Hinch, you know, the way they use that lineup has been pretty impressive. And then the first team to 30 wins. Who’d have thought that we’d be saying the Detroit Tigers are the first team to 30 wins in the 2025 season? I don’t think anybody. Right. And they have an ace upon an ace. He looks like skins. You think? Yes. And you know what did you see? I don’t know if you saw like last week uh he was going back and forth with uh um Breman. Bregman. But just the fact that he can be loose and intense at the exact same time and still just gas you and props to Bregman by the way. three knocks off of him. The guy’s legit baseball players, dude. So, that’s where we are there. Okay, let’s talk about three team and a five team. It’s the Mets and the Yankees. The Yankees took the series. Mets got game two even though the Yankees could have won that. But, dude, the stat, this is what all New York is talking about right now. First Subway series of the year, right? Juan Stoes 1 for 10, no homers, no ribbies, a bunch of walks. Cody Bellinger for the New York Yankees went seven for 111. Two bombs, seven ribbies, including a grand slam, of course, over Sodto’s head in right field. It’s It’s something, dude. That’s what So, the Yankees are hanging their fans are hanging their hats on that. Mets fans are going, “Oh, this was your World Series cuz we’re going to play in a real one.” New York is a disaster right now. Everybody’s a Knicks fan. The only thing uniting is the Knicks. Knicks right now is the Knicks. Carla and Cat was in the stands last night for and the whole place erupted. You know, it erupted on Friday night when they put the Knicks score up. Like very cool, dude. When New York when multiple teams are doing well in New York, it’s a very special, strange, different type of a situation. But anyway, let’s get to the bottom of this though. Sodto’s struggling and I saw one stat from one uh not a stat one of the fans wrote they pulled up one of his at bats from that Cleveland series last year where he’s doing a dance and whatever and he hits a bomb and he just goes nuts and it was a meth fan going I haven’t seen this from him. This is why we got him kind of thing. So what’s your take on what what I mean listen he’s still having a pretty I mean he’s having a good year. He’s not having a 700 million No. Yeah. Yeah. Well, he’s having a good year, but when you get $765 million, you need to be close to Aaron Judge in my opinion. In my opinion, you’re getting paid to be what? Top two players in the game. Getting paid twice as much as much as Aaron Judge, right? You know, so I also believe if you go back to to Francisco Lindor, his first year, you’re like, what’s going on with this guy? I think I think I I think, you know, there’s a lot, you know, the he’s a human being, too. The expectations are real. He hasn’t looked like the Juan Sodto of last year. And the the bottom line is his numbers, you know, have been really good throughout his career. He did have one down year in 2022. I believe he hit like 240 something when the tra at the trade to San Diego and uh with the Nationals, but then he bounced back the next year. Um you know, I think one thing you’re right with Juan Sto is like that swagger is what Juan Sto’s about. That like you know, oh take a pitch and does that like little dance. We haven’t really seen that yet in New York. So, I think he’s still getting his feet wet. I really think he’s going to go on a tear. He’s got some damage numbers. He’s a little He’s 820 OPS right now. He’s got eight home runs, you know, which is good. You can never take those damage numbers away. He’s a guy that can get really hot. He’s still putting together good at bats. His uh you know, his on base percentage is high, you know, what is 380, something like that, which is it’s usually around 400. So, he’s not off to a Jan Sodto start. Mhm. Um but I do think that Yankee fans were very happy about this weekend cuz their plan B really came through. Gold Schmidt had a couple big hits that won a game. Bellinger freaking went you know seven for 11 grand slam drove in six yesterday. Uh you know a lot of the guy Max Freed’s you know in the So they took all that $760 million they what put the stood they got Max Freed they got uh they got um Bellinger they got Goldmint for a lot less. I mean, Goldman’s one year 12 million. Bellinger, he picked up his contract. So, I think the Yankee fans are very, very happy about, you know, the weekend. That was There you go. One team not happy about the weekend is number four team on the top 10 list here, Padres’s. They were they dropped a couple spots that they got swept by the M’s, dude. Yeah. And you know what? It’s funny, James. If you look at them, they were 14 and three to start the year, but since since April 15th, they’re under a 500 team for about a about a month now. So, I guess the question is, you know, are the Padre who are the Padres? Are they team that came out the gate super hot or are they a team that’s pretty good? I think they’re a team that’s going to be really good. Yeah, I really do. I think I think, you know, I think that lineup has star power. Machado and Tatis and Jackson Merrill and Bogey, all those, you know, they got they got some guys that can bang. Um, Darvish is coming back, I believe. Uh, that rotation’s really really good. Um, Michael King is a real deal. Uh, so yeah, they it’ be interesting to see, but the Padres, I believe, are going to get hot again. There you go. Uh, another team kind of just talk about a bad weekend. Phillies lose arguably their best reliever so far this season in uh Alvarado who got banged 80 games plus postseason tested positive for exogenous testosterone. I’m glad I don’t know what that means but it’s something and you don’t get to play baseball with it. Not eligible for the postseason yet. And the whole uh I just didn’t know. We got to stop that because all you have to do is ask your trainer, hey listen, bring it in. These are the supplements I’m taking. This is what they tell us to do every year. I just want to know is there exogenous testosterone in here? I’m just wondering is there are you know is there um estrogen in this uh protein powder that I’m taking here like okay let’s stop with that excuse that like I didn’t know. No, you knew like I really believe guys know guys know and and I I do know that baseball’s testing is at another level. You know what I mean? I really believe that. Um, so they they do a good job of that. But listen, if you if if you don’t give your trainer stuff that’s approved, you have all the resources. You have all the resources. And there’s a lot of good supplements out there, you know, you’re going to get banged. Here’s my analogy to if you get banged in in Major League Baseball. Now, you can’t say, “I don’t know.” The it’s my analogy to me is like when you see a very very very rich celebrity get a DUI or a DWI, you’re like why didn’t you just take a car service like why? Or an Uber or an Uber. You have they have these new ones waybo. You don’t even need a human. You don’t need a driver. You don’t even need a human. You just call Waybo and they pick you up. Main thing like hey first of all you can go to your What am I wrong? Go to your trainer, be like, “Hey, I’m feeling I need to lose some weight.” Okay, I’ll get a little program together. I’ll give you six different programs you can figure out. All under the guys the guidelines of Major League Baseball, so you’re not going to lose your job. So, I agree. Like, I don’t know if you’re getting busted. Yeah. Fasting. You want to lose some weight, start fasting. Yeah. Exactly. Like I just took I have this like these like energy shot things, whatever. Yeah. Like you can’t just Sean Casey, if you were playing, you can’t just go to the store and just chug one of those. You just can’t do that. Give it to your trainer. You have 900 trainers. There’s 900 trainers in East. There you go. You have to just You have They have people that This is all they do. I think I think the trainer’s doing his thing. I think the trainer turns it over to this one dude and goes, “Oh, hey, this is your job. We pay you a lot of six figures. Is this okay?” Yeah, that’s it. End of the story. Yeah. Hey, hey, Alvarado, you’re good. Yeah. Meanwhile, hey, I forgot to submit it to the trainer. Yeah. Meanwhile, you got that news and then you got to go face Paul Skins who just dominated. That’s first of all, we we weren’t on the air yet. Uh says he’s going you said he was gonna play for uh Team USA. He is playing for Team USA and then he goes out and has arguably one of the best games of his career so far, which is so small. Uh dude, three pitches to in a strikeout of Bryce Harper 99 99 and 100 on a f He threw a 100 mile per hour fast ball chest high right at him and struck him out. Did he really, dude? B b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b basically said I think skins when he lines up with Harper’s like, “Hey man, much respect for you. Let’s just get it on.” Yeah, I honestly think Paul Ski, you know, he does that everybody. He did it with uh Otani. With Otani, he he went head to as a rookie. As a rookie, he was like, “Let’s get it on.” He I love that, dude. Because you know what? You’re going to face him. We always talk John Smoltz always talks about like he would have an at bat in the regular season with Barry Bonds thinking of the playoffs when he was going to face him. Right. Right. has that kind of mentality like let’s see how he’s not No’s not thinking about the playoffs. Well, that’s hard to that’s the only difference between Smoltz Maddox and Ski not thinking about the playoffs. He’s thinking about uh his offseason vacation. There you go. All right. So, rounding out uh top 10, you got the Cubs, you got the Giants, you got the Twinkies who are in Fuego, and you got the M’s. Where do you want to hit before we get out of here? Well, I mean the I just want to talk really quick about the Cubs. That offense has been incredible. You know, we talk about Tucker, you talk about Hap, you talk about all these incredible guys. And uh you know what’s what’s funny is this one um line where it says first place in the majors right now in war. Aaron Judge, no surprise. Second place, Fernando Tatis. That makes sense. Third place, Pete Crow Armstrong for the Cubs who’s on pace chance. You ready for this? Yes. I can’t wait to get 43 home runs, 130 RBI’s, 122 runs scored, 47 stolen bases, and play an incredible center field. Do you think the Mets did might have dropped the ball in this one? Who did he get? He got traded for Jav Bayz. Yes, he got traded for hobby for a rental. He got traded for a two-month rental. Pro Armstrong was the number one prospect for the Mets couple years ago. He got traded. I think he was an A-ball. He got traded. I remember this happening because Pete Crow was was their their number one pick a few years earlier. I coached him in this All-American Under Armour All-American game. And I remember thinking that’s going to come back to bite them one day, dude. And Jav Bayas was a two and a half month rental. And here you got Pico Armstrong, one of the best players in baseball, young players in baseball. You basically gave him away. Yes. Because Jav Bayas didn’t really do anything for you. It was like that’s like trading when when the Buckos got Chris Archer for Yeah. Uh Tyler Glass now Shane Bos and and uh Austin Meadows. Whoops. It’s an it’s a it’s an all it’s going to go down as an all-timer if he’s this good, which he is, dude. That’s that line. That’s that stat that line. That’s a that is a Willie Maze season, right? Insane. That’s a Willie Maze. arguably some people call him the greatest baseball player of all time. Has stat lines like that and this dude is just grinding it out like too like very chill.
