Jimmy O'BrienHOST
They went into run prevention mode.
Jimmy O'BrienHOST
They loved what Tanner Swanson did with, um, Mitch Garver in Minnesota.
Jimmy O'BrienHOST
So they, uh, traded, um, they got Ben Rortved, uh, and they, then they got Trevino, and they really were, like, going in a completely different direction and not doing the offensive catcher but the defensive catcher, knowing it would help the pitching staff and all that.
Jimmy O'BrienHOST
So I mean, Gary Sanchez, I think they did want a new br- a new thing.
Lyle GoldsteinHOST
He started striking out a ton, and some of that was because of injury in '24, but it happened.
Lyle GoldsteinHOST
Mitch Garver wasn't supposed to have a crazy strikeout rate.
Lyle GoldsteinHOST
He was supposed to hit lefties well.
Lyle GoldsteinHOST
He was supposed to do some f- do some damage in the middle of the order.
Jeff WilsonHOST
Um, now against the Rangers, uh, you know, he was with Arizona in the '23 World Series, and he was the winning pitcher for their only win in the World Series, game two here in town, uh, seven innings, three hits, one runs, no walks, nine strikeouts.
Jeff WilsonHOST
The run, anybody remember? Mitch Garver homer in the fifth that made it two to one.
Jeff WilsonHOST
Uh, Arizona got two in the seventh against, uh, Jordan Montgomery and just kept adding on.
Jeff WilsonHOST
Um, this season, you saw the numbers, nine and 13, uh, 5.06 ERA, 27 homers allowed, uh, and right, good timing for the Rangers because they have been hitting a lot of home runs lately.
Jeff WilsonHOST
Uh, game five, of course, Eovaldi escaping somehow six scoreless innings.
Jeff WilsonHOST
Seager broke up Zach Gallen's no-hitter attempt, uh, in the seventh, a little dribbler into left against to beat the shift.
Jeff WilsonHOST
He then scored on Mitch Garver's single.
Jeff WilsonHOST
It's one to nothing.
Dan HayesHOST
The, the lockout ended on a Thursday.
Dan HayesHOST
Mitch Garver got traded on the Saturday.
Dan HayesHOST
Um, I wanna say that Josh Donaldson got traded on Sunday.
Dan HayesHOST
for Gary Sanchez and, and, uh, like that, that all went down like-
Jake EllenbogenHOST
I don't want him anywhere near the Yankees.
Jake EllenbogenHOST
You're doing that, but tell me you want Mitch Garver right now.
Jake EllenbogenHOST
No, I'm not
Gary Sheffield Jr.HOST
saying I want Mitch Garver.
Gary Sheffield Jr.HOST
I thought you were going to give me an answer, and you're like, I saw your wheels spinning.
Gary Sheffield Jr.HOST
By the way, rest in peace, Connection.
Brock HuardHOST
For three or four years, we have seen this, unfortunately.
Brock HuardHOST
How come Mitch Garver not hit left-handers?
Mike SalkHOST
All right, I understand-
Brock HuardHOST
How can AJ Pollock not hit left-handers?
Derek SheltonGUEST
list? It's extremely important.
Derek SheltonGUEST
I'll go back to 2018 here with Mitch Garver, where it was concussion-based.
Derek SheltonGUEST
And it was a really good learning experience for me, but talking about getting back on the field just to catch a game, just to be back.
Derek SheltonGUEST
You go into the offseason knowing that you're okay.
Bob SteltonHOST
For a backup catcher, he hits just fine.
Bob SteltonHOST
He hasn't had a ton of opportunity, but I have more confidence in what he's going to give you than what Mitch Garver was giving you.
Bob SteltonHOST
In fact, I think this move that they ultimately made should have been made a while before.
Bob SteltonHOST
Is any part of
Adam WeinribHOST
So you got to upgrade that.
Adam WeinribHOST
You just throw a dart at the board, bring Mitch Garver in, and he's not showing you anything either.
Adam WeinribHOST
But sticking with Austin Wells, looking like a very smart move, and... again, nerdier people than I, the athletic, noted that his intercept points from July and August where he makes contact are the kind that indicate he's finally seeing the ball well and connecting where he should be on the bat.
Adam WeinribHOST
And he wasn't in June, May, April.
RyanUNKNOWN
This one's not as impactful either, but, I mean, Ali Sanchez is really just like, I'm just completely over this experiment.
RyanUNKNOWN
Like, call up Mitch Garver, if anything.
RyanUNKNOWN
There's no way he's worse than what Ali Sanchez is giving you.
Chris McMonigleHOST
No, it's true.
