It's been a long time since we put ourselves here in play and I think that as It has happened previously, no matter how long ago that was. It is coming back into the equation because I've conceded early last night so we did not want to go overboard. This is I think the 8th time, 7th time, whatever it is. In the last 10 games it has not Andrea Wolff played effective games. a chond o'r rhan o holleg o gweistiau. Ond dyna ato Feidlenol ar hyd yn ddweud Rydym ni'n gwneud. Rydym ni'n gwneud.

If not, and it's something we can't control, then crack on. That's how I see life and certainly management and football. You can only try to influence the things that are under your concern. If there's other things outside that, that's why waste energy or time, think about it. So, it's just trying to give the players a confidence that if you want to be successful, you have to overcome challenges, you have to overcome a lot of competitors. Teams do play differently here, they do approach games differently here. So, I'm obviously relatively new here in home games, so I'm learning about that aspect of it. And like it is with anything in life, if there's a thing there that I think I can fix, I talk to the people around me, the people involved, and we try and find the solution. So, that's what we're trying to do. So, if that happens again to us, if we do concede and we go round, what do we do next time? Because listen, we are not going to, for whatever many months and years, keep clean sheet after clean sheet and win every game. So, next time this happens, how do we correct it and go about it and overcome it to win the game of football? That's it, isn't it? I mean, everyone's playing the same game, a game of football. But each club has their own unique difficulties, challenges, problems to solve, and each club has their own respective histories as well. And I just wonder, as a manager who has worked at different football clubs, when you inherit a club with its own particular challenges and issues to overcome, how important it is to have that overall general perspective. I can talk about there about just reminding the players that this was, you know, it was a bolt out the blue, six games of good form and then just one defeat. How important is it to have that perspective when you balance it with, I guess, the own respective issues that you inherit from a particular football club? Yeah, it's important you have that perspective because, you know, football can be a rollercoaster at times and I think the last two games has been a rollercoaster for us, you know, the highs and the lows. But, you know, we can't afford to let that happen to us and we've got, in some time, to take a step back and go, you can't, we don't want to sugarcoat the disappointment we felt last night and ignore it, but also we've got to take it into the bigger picture and say, well, our last six games have produced this, so let's not, you know, let's not blow effing it out and be defeatist and negative about it, but let's be honest and actually confront anything that we need to fix. And that goes from week to week, you know, it's not just on the back of a negative result, that could be on the back of a positive result. Yeah, that was great but look, we just need to improve this before it becomes a problem. So we can't see analysing stuff like that, but yeah, every club I think has, I wouldn't say, challenges or nuances or, you know, different variables and it's how you frame them in your own mind, for me. You can either look at it and go, well, 16, 18,000, the pressure that, or you go 16, 18,000, brilliant, that's what I wanted to play in front of when I was eight years old. It's how you look at that scenario and situation, you know, so we talked about the uniqueness of Bradford City in League 2 and the size of the support and that, and we all sign up for that. That's why we come to Bradford for that, but it comes with a responsibility to be able to perform in front of that, so it comes at a price.  It's all one way, so we have to produce for that. So that's, I would just say it's how we reframe potential issues or things that are there into a positive sense or one that we can control, and that's what we're trying to do. It's right, what can we control when we play this stadium if this happens? Well, this is what we can control, so that's what we'll focus on, and if there's something we can control, forget about it. Yeah, and I guess you've seen what can be achieved at that stadium albeit you didn't get the result that you wanted, but the performance merited the response that you received in the Wiccan defeat, and I know it's a performance that we've referenced a lot since then. I feel like it will be a performance that's referenced a lot between now and the end of the season, maybe even seasons to come, because it felt like such a significant performance in the way that you invested within the supporters and they did the same likewise. Yeah, I agree, I think it was almost a blueprint for what we want our games at Valley Parade to look like, and I would say Wiccan came with a plan to frustrate and hold us back, but we managed to play through it and create loads of chances and stuff like that, so it did have a different feel though, it's a knockout game, it's a cup competition where teams in the league come here and they don't have to win to get a positive result. I think a draw is seen as a positive result as well, so there's a slightly different side to that sort of opponent. We always try to reference games where it didn't go so well, but we responded in a great fashion because I think it's important that they go, well look, they say we responded, so as much as we talk about the Wiccan game as a high of performance and level we want to get to, we always reference now and then the Knox County game when we're falling down at halftime, and how we put ourselves in that situation but then how we responded to it, so there was a negative or positive coming from the negatives, and you always do that because it's relevant to the people that are here. It's no good me talking about a game I played in 15 years ago or someone else, it's because it involves us, our supporters, our players, our staff, so it's an easy reference point for us to talk about and then, but for me that's what I wanted to speak to the players today, whenever you've gone through a game, win or lose a draw, it's always about the one in front of you, and that's what we have to focus on now, and it's certainly a big one. Focusing on that then, moving on to Mansfield, and when you say that teams will possibly see a point at that parade as a good result, do you think Mansfield will come with that approach this weekend? No, I don't think they will. I think they'll come to win the game, but afterwards, if it is a draw, they might look at it differently and say, you know what I mean in the grand scheme of things, I don't know, so the first and foremost for us is we have to get back on the saddle and straight into it. It was a real body blow last night to lose the game in that fashion and certainly with the potential opportunity we had in front of us to close the gap, but as I said last night, there's always another opportunity right around the corner and those opportunities are still there for us, so we have to keep believing that we will put this behind us, that one result, regain the form that we showed in the previous six, seven, eight games and get closer to where we want to be, but we can only do that by getting a positive result on Saturday. Just final one from me on the team news front, Graham. I know he's spoken about Matty Platten. I think the hope was that he might return to full training this week or at least be back out on the grass, just what's the situation? Yeah, he hasn't returned back to full training. We had the lads who didn't play last night. We trained today, but Platty was doing his own stuff with Alex Patterson and the medical team, so he might have a bit part on Friday in our training, but he won't be available to train fully worse until after the weekend, unfortunately. Thanks, Graham. Appreciate it. OK, thanks, Jeremy. Hi, Graham. Hi, mate. Are you OK? Yeah, I'm worked out where the camera's gone, so I'm just a voice in the dark. I can see that. Obviously, you were saying about Mansfield, obviously getting back in the saddle. In a sense, possibly, would you say it's a great game to do it because you've gone from finding it against a team that was crap of the line, found the bottom, all the expectation was on you and, as you say, it played into their hands. And now you've got to, A, go straight back out of value bright and you've got to do it against a team that are currently the best team in the league. Yeah, that's the challenge in front of us and we have to head on. We have to understand, and that's what we just wanted to show. We didn't go through the whole game, but we just showed a contrast of what we did well at the start in the Atkinson game and what we didn't do at the start yesterday. So we can correct that. The players are intelligent guys. They will take it on board. They are extremely ambitious to be successful and if you want to be a successful team, then you have to take on all comers. You can't just want to play and be certain teams. You have to go up against the best and currently Mansfield are the best in the division. So it will be a tough task, but I think for me, I think this is when we've seen the best of our team and it's other games that I feel where we have our work cut out to improve. But regardless of how well we'll play, it will certainly be a big challenge for us on Saturday, but we've got to believe that we can certainly play our part in a winning game for them. One of these teams have been knocking on the door for several seasons now. It's seasoned top 17, aren't they really? Yeah, they've been striving to get out of this division for a good few years and they've gone really close and they've got a vastly experienced manager who's been there for a little while now and gone through the ups and downs there with the playoffs and so forth, and he's got them rolling along really well this season. So yeah, they have similar aspirations to us, I would expect, but they're in a much better position. So that's where we have to show in this one-off occasion, a one-off game that we can compete with the best in this division and if we can do that on a one-off game, then we have to show that we can be consistent in the next game, after that, but they are all different challenges as we will probably see on Saturday compared to what we faced last night. Talking to the players themselves, do you sense there is still that belief that you can achieve what you're trying to do? I mean, people will say, there's lots of points to play for lots of games yet, but can you sense that there is still that belief?  OK, we've got to be, but that's it. There wasn't that. I didn't sense it today, I didn't sense it after the game last night. I've never sensed it with this group, to be honest. Since we came in, the team was not a 16-17 for anything, something like that, so I've never felt the team, the players as individuals have given up anything and we certainly am as a staff, so we still have a lot to fight for, a lot to play for. Whatever we do this season, if we do have aspirations being successful, even if we win our next three, four games on the bounce, we're still going to be in a tight situation where the pressure is on to win the next game, that's going to be there for us. I hope it is there for us right till the last game. If it's not, I don't think we'll be in the picture that we want to be in, so we've got almost become accustomed and used to this pressure that we're putting on ourselves to be successful and so almost take the hits, take the waves of emotion and keep playing through until the end of the season. That's what we have to do. Is it possible to almost predict the points? Is there a points tally in your mind you think you've got to go to get the chance? Or is it that many teams it's difficult to tell? Impossible, I think. I don't think it is to be honest. I don't think it's relevant for us to be honest. Even if there was a line where we go, this will definitely do that. We've just got to focus on the next game. If we start doing that going on, we might get three here, one here, three there. You're just not focusing on what you need to focus on, that's what your action is, what your job is for the team, what your responsibility is for your teammates, for me and my staff. For me, if we start looking at that and trying to imagine that, then we're torturing ourselves in one sense because you can't tell the future. The only thing we need to focus on is how do we get three points on Saturday against Manchester Hotel? Last night, obviously, there weren't loads of positives, but Jeremy Walker coming on, playing a half, he looked bright in patches, didn't he? You can sort of see that the Jeremy Walkie you want is coming back in me. He's missed three months of football and training. To be honest, he hasn't been training with us that long. I think probably if we were at an earlier stage of the season and had a lot longer left, he's returned to play. He might have took another week to ten days, but the games are running out. James is absolutely desperate to help us be successful. He's not up to full-match speed or preparation, but neither is Tyreek. That was his first 90 minutes for a long, long time. But they're both creative players. They're both really good attacking players for us. They're great options for us, but we just have to give them the minutes to get up to speed because we know how valuable they are to us and how creative they are. I think we finished the game with two defenders on the pitch the other night because Tyreek had left back and we had two wingers. It was just as much attack and threat as possible. We'll always put teams out to go and attack games. James Walkie gives us something that we've missed for a couple of months, because he's slightly different from any other player and that's what I would feel. There was one instance when he nicked a ball on the halfway line. That's the play you love, isn't it? He's got a great sense. We talk about that a lot. We're an aggressive team. We press a lot. He's got this natural intuition to understand which side the opposition player is going to take the ball and he changes angle of press right at the last minute. He's just got that natural timing and understanding where the ball is going to land and where the player is going to take it and his timing is just arriving when they can't see him. That was him all over. It was a great pass through to Tyreek who had a really good shot at the end of it. Jamie was a real bright spot for us when we first came in. Unfortunately we lost him for three months and it's great to have him back. Fingers crossed he stays fit for the rest of the season. I was going to ask about Tyreek. Is it a little bit of a pain barrier? Has he played through at the moment after the whack he took at the weekend? That's not a real concern really with Tyreek. I think the pain management is something that a lot of players will go through season to season. It's a physical sport and you're always going to be carrying some bump or other. It's just his lack of actual game time because he's an explosive player. His data is through the roof in training and games and it's making sure that we don't lose him again like we did when we brought him in. It's more that exposure to full matches and how he plays rather than a little bump on his foot. A little bump I'm doing at this service. A sofa. Great stuff. Thanks man. Hi Adream, how are you? I'm not so many questions. Without brushing it on the carpet, obviously disappointing. You're still in a quarter of the season to guard me. If you're going to have a little blow it's not going to knack of your season. You've still got just enough time haven't you? It's not fatal. It was an opportunity for Ivo for three points which we made extremely difficult for ourselves. It's not fatal. It's only fatal if you imagine it to be and allow it to be in your own mind. If you've got a positive outlook in you and you see nothing but opportunity in front of you then you've got a chance of creating opportunities. I'll see everything. That's certainly the case for us. There's no teams that are putting in massive runs of form like long 10-15 games to suggest that we can't be one of those teams competing for the playoffs coming the end of the season but there's a lot of work in front of us. We're just trying to focus on the next bit of work we have to do in that Saturday's game.  I suppose at this time of the season it's even more imperative isn't it? It's massive isn't it getting that right attitude at this point of the season and not having excuses, that sort of thing? Yeah, 100%. I think that's why I'm being like, when we recruit, when we do pre-season that because I know what challenges come ahead in a season of football and there's times where it doesn't go your way. You'll expect criticism, take criticism. You'll be unlucky sometimes. It's going against you. Do you turn into a victim and you try and deal with it and crack on and this comes from the mind. It comes from a mentality that you can encourage and gano it within a squad but you certainly need individuals that represent those best qualities at all times. I 100% feel we have those players without a shallow doubt and I will always support those players in the work because I never ever have to admonish the players or talk about their effort in training our games. It's not through that. We just have to help and guide them to be the best version of themselves. I was going to ask you finally about the cases and a lot has been said about it. Is it almost you've got to treat it like a ban word almost because it becomes so debilitating doesn't it? People can reference it and you've just got to try and blank it out haven't you really and just deal with it and try to do it? It's just another challenge. We talk about mindset because you don't know what's going to be thrown at you.   Where's your mindset?  It's like that. You can look at pitch and use it in an excuse or you can go, well actually I'm just going to make the best of it. That's it. It's how you reframe everything that goes on in your life and I just don't want us to be a group of people that look for excuses without taking our own accountability and responsibility for what we can do and what we can do better. It's like what I was saying earlier. We cannot control the pitch so ignore it and just crack on with how we want to play. There's loads of circumstances why it's done that. It's no one's particular fault. So let's just forget about it and then crack on with playing football. I'm sure all our players have included myself in our days I've played on absolute cabbage patches as kids and played there for hours on end enjoying our football so let's look at it that way rather than the negative side.


The Nationals are set to shock the world. They take game two in demanding fashion. Let's talk all about it. What's going on everybody? Welcome to Talking Baseball. My name is John Boyd.  Jake, how you doing? Pretty accurate description, James. I'm doing well, man.  I'm enjoying it. I've got a lot of thoughts. Oh, wow.  Dude, I wrote down a couple notes. I'm like, I'm freaking, I'm loaded and I'm literally loaded up and sipping the syrup. How many of your notes are spin zones and apologies to the Washington DC crowd? None. None at all. OK. Wow. I will not apologize and I've even got compliments for myself from the Washington people.  I just write down compliments on myself. No, man. There's so many storylines for this series and for individual players that are just becoming so awesome that's just really exciting. So yeah, it was pretty wild. It's crazy. I mean, even just getting back in the box score this morning and seeing 12 to 3 and then looking at the fact that it was 2 to 2 into the 7. Yeah, it doesn't matter. Holy crap. A.J. Hinch actually said a quote like, it was a good game and three terrible innings. It wasn't like a terrible game. Which is one inning can make or break your game. But I understand.  Come on. And then I was like, you know what, though?  Right. But I think more importantly, it's something that you and I have been harping on and if people kind of haven't known what we've been saying, but every baseball game has these little moments where an inch fair and inch foul or pitch off the plate or if you're Alex Bregman and inch off your glove. I mean, it just changes a whole dynamic of the series. And I think last night had a lot of those examples too. I have like one scalding take to come away from yesterday. Oh my God. I wish Adam Eaton was a likeable dude off the field because his play on the field is exactly so likable. Right. What does all the Adam Eaton, because I mean, I don't even fully know this, but I know you've been saying it for a little while. It comes from his White Sox days or what? Yeah. Todd Frazier said no one likes Adam Eaton. And right, Todd Frazier has a reputation for being one of the nicest guys in baseball and you will never hear someone say anything bad about Todd Frazier. And then Ozzy Guyon also says like, yeah, no one likes Adam Eaton.  I was like, what? What? So anyway, but his play on the field like in the first inning, when he just slapped that pitch past Bregman down the third baseline, I was like, hell, yes, Adam Eaton. Nice. I love, I love that approach. So I'm going to buy it there. That was the compliment I was going to give myself that I knew that I knew you will have my back on Jimmy. It said I'm the best. No, it's that I've been on the Adam Eaton Nationals train from day one. I just thought he was the key to unlocking this offense. Trey Turner won me over and I've got a lot of stuff on Trey Turner too. But Adam Eaton was the guy in the top of that lineup that it was like, one of these things is not like the other. And that's that's not a shot at Adam Eaton, but Rendon, Soto. And I mean, Trey Turner doing his thing. Adam Eaton, when when he's doing what he's doing, that unlocks the whole offense. Yeah, someone in Jeff, Jeff in the chat just said he's the Nats gardener. And the MLB thinks that Gardner is this big, hard-o, red-ass, but he's actually the team jokester and prankster. And everyone loves it. I mean, they're talking on the field, I think. Yeah. I wish Gardner played like Eaton on the field this postseason. Yeah. Well, that's tough. He had a great year in the postseason. I said, Jake. Yeah. I know. I said the postseason. I did. OK. Jeez. Wow. Strasburg is a story. There's a lot of stories. We have a burn. Oh, before we get into the burn, how do we want to handle like all this news? The first off day of the World Series is a notorious news dump day because you don't want to take away anything from a World Series game.   Eric Cooper, the ump passed away. And then you have the Taubman stuff with the Astros. They handled it terribly. So there's a lot going on right now.  Yeah. Eric Cooper stuff's terrible because someone passed away before they should have. And then the Taubman stuff's terrible because you got like sexism, you know, you got a lot of stuff going on the MLB. It's all of it. Yeah. Yeah. They're like touching all the touchy topics. And then you have the Padres hiring a guy who has never really coached before in the MLB. So do we want to talk about any of this today? No. It's for another time. It's World Series season. I'm sorry.  I think that'll even be a fun episode. I think we can do some fun games off of that, like which managers we like the most. The Houston stuff, I mean, we covered a little bit. It's obviously not really the voice of the show, but it's awful. They slaughtered the whole thing. And I mean, maybe I'll throw some backhanded insults at them throughout episodes going forward. I mentioned storylines and things we talked about a little bit, Jim. And I think there'd be some really good clips. I don't know if we want to sick work or bill on it. But you and I were talking about the Astros about to become the bad guys. And with that assistant GM, they became the bad guys overnight. Dude, I wanted to tweet out last night. I've been doing a lot of tweeting. Before I hit send, I delete it because I just don't want to start that. And so many people don't understand my tone anymore because I have a lot of new followers. I wanted to tweet. What's the guy's name? Taubman. Taubman. I want to tweet out, I wonder if Taubman knows this is entirely his fault. Yeah. Like, does he know? Yeah. But then there's even people that will listen to the show on YouTube that will be like, do you really think it's Taubman's fault?   Sucks. Yeah.  He ruined the Astros. There was a couple tweets out there that they were like, yeah, and you thought an assistant GM couldn't affect the team. Yeah, but no, I truly do think that, A, and I'll take a dig at myself, I talked about how the Astros, you know, they were the better team. And they went through the Yankees, so now they're going to go through this. And maybe there was some Yankees bias attached. But the Astros have been playing like they had my same attitude.  Yeah, Verlinder and Cole will do a thing and we'll get three runs and it'll be good. Yeah, and that's a, and they kind of got straight embarrassed. So it'll be interesting to see if they can change the narrative, if it's, if there is a swing or a game or a moment that can happen. But right now, they are the bad guys and they're having a bad time. Yeah, yeah. Speaking of other tweets, you see, I mobilized my followers to kindly tell John Heyman I had a scoop before him. I also tweeted that like five times and deleted it because I was like, I don't want to do this. And then I was like, I do though because John Heyman's the worst. Yeah, no, we're done with Heyman.  So he's a good friend of mine. But yeah, he's awful. Yeah, if you follow John Heyman on Twitter, don't follow him or follow him for comedy's sake because it's just the dumbest. I think he's probably a good reporter off of Twitter, but he like has no idea of what you can and can't tweet as a reporter, so whatever. All right, you want to burn this game? I can burn this. Do we Patreon, Matt Turner? Oh yeah, Matt Turner is our sole newest Patreon joiner. Yeah, well, we're doing these shows every day, so it's hard to really reel them in. No, thank you, Matt Turner.

All right, let's start with a quick break, and then we'll come back with Jake is burned. Here we go, Jake World Series Game Numero 2. On your mark, get set, burn. Game two of the 2019 World Series, the Nationals and the artist formerly known as the asterisk, Steven Strasberg. Try to go up two games to none versus the Astros, and Justin, I am the Verlander in H-Town. Top one, rice, rice, baby. Anthony Rendon, the pride of the Owls, two RBIs for Tony, two bags, but bottom one, I am sick of your natitude, young lady. I don't want a brag, man, but Alex just hit a two-run yacker to tie it, two to two after one. Strasberg and Verlander went on all John Taffer until the seventh, because they shut it down until I'm thinking about getting a sporty motorcycle.  Kurt Motors went out of the stadium, three, two Nats. Can they hold? They do much more than that. Kendrick, RBI infield single, pregnant.  The pride of the Nats, Ryan Zimmerman infield single and a throwing error, pregnant. Nats put up a six spot in the seventh, a couple more late in the eighth and the ninth, boogity boogity, Strasberg to Rodney to Rainey to Carrera. Nats win 12-3 and take the 2-0 lead back to the capital. It was looking like a really good game. Jake, the John Taffer, usually go music, some actors. It's a lot of music, usually. Throwing a bar rescue in there, not bad.   I wanted to say to you something. Nice. And after that, I'll say many other things. That's kind of the format of the show. I say things to you. Don't give too much away. Yeah, that's the formula right there. No, but I'm stalling right now as I try to remember the thing I wanted to say. Oh, Pregman, Pregman. Yeah. Pregman. What about him? Did that two-run homer, sorry, I sneezed during that burn. Since last year's postseason. Right.  And the Yankees got Gio Urschella, whose top tier defensively third baseman can really do some wizardly stuff. Pregman is, but Gio does make like the innocent error every now and then. Pregman is like as solid as they come at third and he makes the craziest plays. And it's brutal for him because he was having a bad series offensively. We marked, talked about it, how like he was taking a lot of walks. He wasn't getting a lot of hits. There was not a lot of extra base hits at all. So he finally comes through with the homerun, crushes that change up from Strasburg, pimped it. I loved the pimp job. I like Pregman. I like his force thing.  So I like those guys. Yeah, that's a good call. Pregman's very much in his own skin. Like he's, this is who he would be if you saw him at a bar shooting pool, he'd be the same dude. That's what I like about guys. Like you're like, yeah. So anyway, when he hits that homerun, I feel good for him because I'm like, okay, that's a monkey off his back. But now the storyline is the errors and that inning. And the second one was a great stop. He should have ate the throw. Yeah, but I just, it was just interesting that he finally came through offensively and then the tables like the seesaw effect like, well, this is what you get. So, but six sport. That's what it comes down to. It's one of the most solid, best, flashiest third baseman. And that's, it's where I started. I mean that, you know, the ball ended up in his glove kind of on that first play. It was basically a snow cone. Like he, a most third baseman want to get there. It's like Pregman, Aronato, Chapman. That's the other thing. Yeah. That's where that one inch is a different. If that ball is one inch closer, I think it's in the pocket of his glove. He throws the second for the force out. If that ball is one inch further away, it probably goes past him and you're like, oh, look at the effort by Pregman. But he basically snow cones. It can't get it. That inning starts to unravel. And that's why he ends up forcing the throw later because you're just trying to do anything to get off the field. And then if I remember correctly, if it was either that inning or the next inning, there was another like swinging bunt that he actually made a nice play on to end the inning. I think it was the same one. And it's just like, man, if you don't think there's something as real as the baseball gods finding you when they want to, look at that inning. And I also want to note that if Pregman makes both of those plays, they're a spectacular place.  So it's hard to blame him. You know what I mean? It's hard to be like Pregman lost the inning because he didn't. They would have been in crazy plays. But Pregman usually makes those. Or not the second one. The second one he should have is eight. Yeah, I mean, he was trying to make up for one there, but no, brutal.  Because that is going to be a big focus today. You know, Pregman, well, A, Cole Verlander getting beat back to back. That hasn't happened this season. But what's going to get overlooked so much, and they were trying to bring it back in, but there's too many good storylines around it.  Kurt Suzuki tied 2-2 game. It's been locked up that way since the first inning. And he catches a Verlander high home run. He's got great numbers versus Verlander. Did you? Sorry. I was just going to say he's part of this storyline I'm falling in love with that we've talked about some of the old national guys. And you know this is something I do on baseball reference anyways. But I mean, when you start thinking about some of the paths that these guys have been on and just written off, and Kurt Suzuki's first MLB season was 2007 on the A's, their D.H. that year was Mike Piazza. Like, it's insane. It's insane. Kurt Suzuki hits that home run that in theory, if the wheels don't fall off, and if the nationals bullpen would have held, which god, that was going to be so exciting. Rodney coming into that game. But the Nats took all the fun out of it and Braggman. How old is Ascrab's? Ascrab's, if I had to guess. He's a guy that feels and looks older than he is. I'd guess he's like 33. Crush it, he is 33. One point, Jake. Nice. So a 33-year-old had three RBI's. 30-year-old had two RBI's. And Rendon's, what, 28? 29. 29, yeah. That's not that young. No. They're an old team, and it's pretty cool that doing it. And Suzuki is, what, 30-hundred? He was 23 in 2007, because that's something I know. 36. 36. Not good with my parents' middle names, but I know that.  Linda Karen. Karen. Karen. So I go to Carol on HR. Yeah. Two to two, I was like, damn, this is like a repeat of the Yankees Astro series. Yankees took game one, and then it's tied at two, going later into the game. But what was Verlander's miles per hour at? Because the fastball that Suzuki hit was 94. Yeah. So I didn't know if that was a get me over fastball. If he has naturally been slowing down the miles per hours as the game went on, if he was never up to full gear Verlander miles per hour, when that home run hit, and I was like, oh, it was 94, I was mad at myself for not paying attention to how fast his fastball was all game. Yeah. Because yeah, I feel like he was floating around 95. Let me see if I can, how he Kendrick. It looks like he was a little below, Astro Bookabreira, 94, 94, Zimmerman. I guess we didn't see him dial it up. And maybe that is part of the story, because he has been sitting kind of around 94, 95. But if he still needs one, you could see him put a 97 up there. It looks like he had a 96 in the fifth. But again, I'm very much hunting these out at this point. And yeah, it's so nuts with baseball. Because you know what? The Astros could turn it on with one switch, and they could be that dominated Astros team that we thought we were going to see this series. Like, seven games is a long time in baseball, if it goes that far. But I teased you a little bit with this gym. And I don't know if we brought this to talking baseball, or if this was just on talking yanks. But there was a bad storyline with the Astros team. Never mind all the real-life bad stuff that came out. But you know, Garrett Cole is going to be a free agent. Justin Verlander isn't the spring chicken he used to be. I mean, we saw that road start on short rest in Tampa. We're talking about his miles per hour right now. Zach Grinke makes a lot of money, and he's old too. So there's a world where if the Astros do go down this series, it's like, OK, Cole's gone. I don't think there's even a discussion he's coming back to Houston. Verlander, I mean, is he aging? And more so, is he just not Justin Verlander that's blinded us for the past two years? And Grinke, I mean, he's good, but it's kind of Zach Grinke. Like, we haven't been scared of him this postseason. He's also getting older.  There, I think they'll be fine. They have Springer. Like, their hitters are great, and they clearly are fine with paying money to go get pitching. I think they'll be in on Cole. But I don't think they land Cole, but we'll see. But the Verlander thing's crazy, man. And it just sucks, because obviously Verlander's still a very good pitcher. But he's not a sure thing. For the last two seasons, a sure thing. Still going to win the Cy Young and all that. But Katie Sharp had a really good tweet. I think Cole might get them. Yeah, well, I'm supposed to say one of them is still going to win it, like, despite this. Katie Sharp had a really good tweet that Bubak is sharing with me in the chat. I saw yesterday, but Astros lost back-to-back games started by Justin Verlander and Garen Cole twice. April 2nd and 3rd at Texas. And June 18th and 19th at Cincinnati. It never happened in Houston. So this is the first time all season Verlander and Cole lost back-to-back games in Houston. It's crazy. It's crazy to think that that happened. I mean, really, I don't know how to say it.   And I don't slap in the face. Alvarez gets out of his slump still. I mean, I don't know. What are the other talking points here besides Strasburg? We haven't mentioned Tim at all. We need to mention Strasburg. Yeah, Strasburg locks in again, the formerly known as the asterisk. Dude's dealing. Dude's one of the best post-season starting pitchers of all time. The asterisk was not a knock on Strasburg. It was just there. He just didn't have enough games. Now he has more than enough games. He and his beard are the real deal. If you like small sample size and playoff stuff, Justin Verlander is now 0 and 5 in World Series starts.  Yeah, it's a tight sample. But it's what we got. For six World Series starts in Justin Verlander, it's not what you'd expect. And that's why they're saying it. What's his like, ERA and stuff? Because like, wind off. I think it's in the fives. Well, that's bad. Yeah. So I mean, it's a real thing. I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm one of the kings of chopping up stats. And that sucks, especially everything else around Verlander. But I mean, he has a 573, ERA, and 33 innings in the World Series. Want to know a little secret? Sure. This dude, Jose Altuve? Yes. Is so good. Yeah. I mean, I've said this. I don't know if I said it on this show, I had to. He is the head of the snake for me. Yeah. And I think he was injured last playoffs. He was playing on like a bum leg or I don't know if it was last year. Last year as a whole, yeah. But especially in the playoffs, if he wasn't, I think they beat the Red Sox. I think he is dynamite in the playoffs. He's so fun to watch. He had three hits yesterday, Jake. Yeah. He's so good. Yeah. He's great. And yeah, you and I, I think we did this on there. I mean, I think Springer, and they lose yesterday. Springer does nothing. And he goes underrated. He had that hard hit ball that Turner picked. Oh my god. And yeah, so this spins into one of my theories. Well, A, there's so many storylines. Give us some of your notes already. Yeah, dude. I'm about to roll. So stay with me. So A, we've got the old guys and just this old team, right? We've already done this. I have a question. Sure. Do you have like bullet pointed notes or are they long notes? Bullet points. OK, so can you like, once we get into the bullet points, let me know. You give me one bullet point. I'm going to respond with a drop. OK. OK. OK. So this is one of the bigger, overlying ones. Just all the old guys on the team. But like Kurt Suzuki, they interviewed him after the game. Tom Verducci, which A, if you like good comedy, watch Tom Verducci do an interview. OK. It's the most dramatic thing you'll ever see. But so they interviewed Kurt Suzuki. And he goes, yeah, you know, we're this kind of group of older guys, you know, Los Viejos. And he looks at Tom Verducci. Like he just said, the punchline of a hilarious joke. And Verducci didn't even respond. And then Kurt Suzuki goes, and yeah, we played a good game, blah, blah, blah. But it's just like that's part of this team, that they're kind of old guys that aren't like hilarious. Like it's the whole baby shark thing. Car accident, because that joke was a car accident. OK. They have a dad vibe to them. We said this earlier. Like they're having so much fun. But it's old man fun. Yeah. Kurt, Kurt Suzuki, and Ian doing the car thing. Doing the race car, yeah. Is such like a, like that's not cool. But it's cool because it's so uncool. Yes. And again. No 20-year-old is watching that thinking like, damn, those guys are cool. Yeah. That's badass. It's dad. It's dad humor. Baby shark, all that. And he turn, I can't emphasize this enough. He looks at Verducci and goes, Los Viejos. And there's a pause. And Verducci's like, that's not even a joke. And Kurt Suzuki's like, OK, yeah, you're right. That's not funny at all. OK. So that's part of the recurring old guy storyline. And part of that storyline that this is a generic one, but it's Kurt Suzuki, Howie Kendrick. How many teams, Fernando Rodney, how many teams passed on these guys this off season? Because it's the new age of baseball where it's like, am I going to really sign Kurt Suzuki? Or should I just give our 24-year-old triple A catcher a shot for less money? Like there's so much money, so much of that around baseball this year that I think that's the thing. All right. Next. Secondary follow-up. I mentioned this when I was talking about the Yankees starting pitching after Tanaka shoved. When I talked about the Nationals, we both said that these teams are similar, but it just seemed like the Astros were better in every aspect. They're starting pitching. I guess that one was kind of a coin flip. But you lean Cole and Verlander because they're Cole and Verlander.  That Soto dude is the most special dude on the field. Rendon, he's not a fake MVP. He's just his own guy. And Trey Turner's just as good. And Adam Eaton, angry guy. So I think there's that. OK, that one is going to be thunder, a storm of anger. OK, yeah. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Really throwing you at these, huh? Yeah, no, you're throwing. All right, so this one is the silliest and I think the most fun one I have. OK, didn't say yet. Prepping. Anthony Rendon.  A, the ice in his veins stuff is just unbelievable.  B, there's an Anthony Rendon day in Houston. Why? Because he was on rice and he grew up in Houston. Like, he's a Houston guy. So he's going against like his city. And he's doing it, which A, that's cool. But B, this is what I think you like. So I was trying to figure out Rendon. Yeah. I was like, who is this dude? He's a monk. Speaking of playing incredible defense at third base, the plays he's been making are unbelievable. Never mind what he's doing with the bat. Anthony Rendon, and this ties into the Astros just being slightly better than the Nats. Anthony Rendon is the second best player on your Little League team. Are you with me? I need more. OK. So I feel like the second best kid on the Little League team, he's like, I don't know. He's really talented, but it almost seems like he doesn't care.  He's never rushed.  But if I'm forced to, I'll make it. And it just seems like he's that dude. And almost having Soto and having Harper there for the previous years, he likes that. Like, he's there to do his thing. If you want to give the attention to the other guys, but he's just calm, cool, collected at all times. And he has this look like he doesn't care, but he really does. And he's awesome. So on the outside, he's like a monk. But on the inside, you think he's like this. Not fully, but I know you want to use that sound. Yeah, that's the best sound effect we have. That's just our best sound.  Are you kidding me? Know what the look Ryan Zimmerman has on his face? That I was once the number one pick for this team. I was the future of this team. And the look on his- First gotta hit a home run in the World Series for the team. That look you see on his face of like focus and deep breathing, I think is like a young Ryan Zimmerman being like, oh, I'm going to be the future of this franchise. We're going to win titles. They're going to retire my jersey. And then that kind of passed him.  Like I am not blowing this. Like that's the look on his face. And dude, it's just, it's everywhere. Strasburg, he used to be a phenom. Then he kind of got overlooked and almost like disliked by baseball. Scherzer, this is his chance to win a World Series. That's the generic one. Soto, the most special dude in the game now. It's unreal. Yeah, it is.  Astros have to win game three. Yeah. Must win. Cranky and a must win. Yes. You think they can? Absolutely. Is Corbin going? No, they're going Anibal then Corbin. Anibal? Anibal. I hope Anibal. Anibal versus Cranky, that's kind of a fun matchup. Yeah, dude, top. And that's, well, What's the top, what's the hardest pitch thrown there? Like 93, maybe? Yeah, Cranky turns one up with a big runt. What else is there on game two? Cause maybe we kick it before we go to game. Verlander threw the ball at his own foot. That was really funny. That was pretty wild. Yeah. Really nice play. Really nice play. Damn late down in the way.  He wasn't, I never, like, cause I, he's my favorite pitcher to watch. Right. That's not a Yankee. I mean, if he was, he'd be my favorite pitcher to watch. When, on. Right. Like I still like watching Verlander on more than watching Cole, just cause he just has this bravado about him. Right.  It's like, so he's my favorite pitcher to watch and I didn't ever get that feeling and Astros fans are, are anything you say about the Astros, they think you hate their team. So I was excited to like show them like, no, I love Verlander and make some gifts but we never really got that performance. It never felt like, ooh, this is Verlander's game. Even though he did pitch good up. I mean, he had six innings, two on runs and all that, but it just never felt like that for me. I mean, little things, and some people could argue this isn't a little thing. He opened up with a four-pitch walk. It's only the third time in his career, he's ever done that. Well, I mean, and I say this not because I care, but because it's close to fact, they re-upped a lot of pintar after that. You could see Chorino's come out and his shin pad, did you see that? There was before and after. No.  It was like the scene in like major league where like they got like three different kinds of goops all over them. Sure. And I don't care. I do think that- Yeah, don't care at all. I do think MLB, what Trevor Bauer was saying like, firmly say it's allowed and put a bit of pintar behind the mound just like the rosin bag, but this limbo area where everyone's like, are they gonna call them out?  Right. The Paxton was using it the same way Verlander was when the Yankees played. It was on their hats. But I love looking for it. And like, yeah, they geared up afterwards. It was pretty funny. Either way, and I mean, he gives up two runs at inning, but either way, don't open up with a four pitch walk, which I don't think he'd done since like 2009 or something like that. Really? Yeah, it's insane. And again, that's the other part of this.  The other side of this is the Astros. Cole loses his winning streak. Verlander and Cole hadn't been beaten back to back. You know, they had, didn't they lose a lead last game? And that was the first time they lost a 2-0 plus lead. I think they were 52-0 or something like that.  The Astros have a lot of stuff like caving in on them right now. I mean, it's tough times for Houston, but they're feeling what we felt a little bit. Yeah. It's time to win though. I mean, if you win tonight. Absolutely. You're fine. But who are they going to go to in game four? Bullpen Day? Or give me? I think Bullpen Day, Peacock, Bullpen. And then it would be Corbin. And then it would be Corbin game four, yeah. Hard to put it any other way. Nationals are sitting pretty. Yeah, but it's, and I think this is the whole mantra about how quickly a series can turn. So say the Astros come out, Grinky has a great performance, the offense brings it, they win game three. That game four becomes the next teeter point. Because if the Astros can find a way to win that Bullpen Day, which spoiler they did against the Yankees, now you're getting back to Cole and Verlander. So a series can turn quick. This game three, we've talked about the importance of a game three. Yeah, I mean the Nats can drive the stake. Let's take a quick break and we'll talk about game three a little more. All right, game three, Jake. We won't have an episode tomorrow on Friday. Enjoy your Fridays. We'll have one on Saturday morning, recapping the Friday game. Game three, it's a must win for Houston and everyone knows that. It is Granky versus Anibal. Anibal Sanchez, Anibal Sanchez, had a no-hitter against the Cardinals for a long time. Two older guys again. First World Series game in Washington, D.C. ever. I expect a good turnout and a fun crowd. I'm excited about that. We'll see. The Nationals fans, they emote hard. We've learned that. They're like the most miserable crowd or so into it. There's very much in between, which is cool. Yeah, they interviewed Dave Martinez after the game. Scott Van Pelt did. Like Dave Martinez, it wasn't a corny. Scott Van Pelt, because he's from the D.C. area. He's a fan of a lot of those teams. And he was like, Scott Van Pelt's like, man, that city's going nuts. Like, it's not a joke. The wild card game was intense. The clinching game was intense. He's like, what do you think the environment's going to be like for game three in the capital? And Dave Martinez got like genuinely emotional. He was like, yo, these people have been going crazy. I mean, he ended up saying the generic stuff that you expect a manager to say. But yeah, man, that place is going to be nuts. Like there's a chance, I mean, you could roll. By the way, Anibal Sanchez is rookie year. 2006, Florida Marlins. Who is his manager on that team, Jim? Joe Girardi. Joe Girardi, who just made the news recently. One manager of the year that year. It's not an 0-6, they had a losing record. But I think after that. Didn't he only manage the Marlins for one season? He took 2007 off, went to Yes Network then 2008. He was the Yankees manager. But yeah, he didn't win the manager of the year that year, though. I thought he did. Well, now I got to click that. But yeah, Anibal Sanchez and Grinky, two just old. I don't know, it's kind of, it'll be interesting to see Zach Grinky's first year was in 2004, holy smokes. Yes, he won manager of the year in 2006. He only managed the Marlins for one year, it was that year. And it was a big deal, because he won manager of the year and then didn't come back, because he didn't like management. They brought in Jack McKinnon. How did he win manager of the year? Because I think the Marlins were trying to lose and he was good. I got to drive into that later. Joe Girardi won manager of the year in 2016, then was let go. He was one game away from the World Series in 2017. And then was let go. Top times. Damn. Good luck Phillies. I think it'll be a good fit out there. Good. God. I'm dry. Should be the Girardi course. He'll come in, he'll be good and then I'll wear the players out three, four years and I'll move on. Yeah. Y'all. Yo, he's got a topper, Rob Thompson as his bench coach. So that's like nice. Topper. Where are you at with Granky? Well, Granky has seen the Nationals, which is kind of interesting, right? Because he was in the National League for a while. So I was trying to see if he saw him this year. And let me see. Let me see if he faced them this year. I'm not really that down on Granky. Yeah, he had one start against them, 7.1 innings pitched. Two hits, zero earned, runs. Damn, back on June 13th. Nationals lineup was Trey Turner, Adam Eaton, Rendon, Soto, Suzuki, Para, Dozer, Robles. Not bad. I mean, you got a lot of guys there. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Trying to see if anyone's good numbers versus him and Suzuki does, Ascrabbs does. Rendon, wow. One for 12. We also got Granky hitting. Right. Which is fun. I actually, I have like some faith in Granky here. Is there a discussion that, like if this was talking Stroes, I feel like Jordan Alvarez would be a talking point. You can't, you don't start him in the field, right?  Yeah, yeah, you have to. Yeah. Granky's career batting average is 225. Got a career 600 OPS. Nine home runs, not bad. He had three home, what? Granky hit three home runs in this season. It's a beast. That's pretty cool. Do you think Zach Granky still remembers anything Jason Grimsley taught him from that 04 Royals team he was on? No, I do not. I don't think he remembers Jason Grimsley at all. I think he made a cognitive effort to never remember Jason Grimsley. Joe Randa had the second highest war on that team. The Joker, so there's some 2019 teams. One of the home runs Granky hit was off of Adam Warren, Palmer. No, I think the question here is, would bullpen day being the Astra strategy in game four and with these being must wins, right? How many at bats do they let Granky get because they need him to eat innings to save some bullpen for game four? So if it's close in the fifth inning and the pitching spot comes up with some men on base, do they pinch hit Granky to try and drive those in with Alvarez and then you have to use four innings of bullpen when that's kind of your strategy for the next day.  Yeah, that will be interesting to watch. And for the Astros, I think something they have going in their favor because they're known as this analytical team is that I don't know if you saw the hinge interview after the game, but he basically answered it very Houston analytically and Hinchly, if you will. He was just like, yeah, I mean, the game happened. He basically looked at it as like a probability and statistics program. He's like, yeah, there was, they're a good team. They played their game. We played our game. We have to go to Houston and win. And yeah, it'll be interesting to see what rumors come from that Houston flight if the team was really focused, if they stayed loose, if someone gave a speech. They had a player's only meeting. Do you know that? Oh yeah, yeah. Verlander now too, they let it. And according to someone, they said everything that needed to be said, which I'm sure was, we're a good team. This is nothing. We just gotta start blah, blah and blah. Don't lose faith. Let's go get them. Did you see when I threw the ball at my leg? Zach Grinke was talking about him and Benito San Diego's relationship from the 04 Royal season.  Nobody bring up Jason Grimsley. Yeah, yeah.  Oh, I like that. That's all, that's all.  Tony Graffinino was on that team.  Everyone like Tony Graffinino, are you kidding me? Yeah, that's probably true. Where are you at with this series? Like, do you think the Nats are going to win? Yes, I do.   Yeah, I think the Nats are going to win the series. They just don't know. It's just funny to say. They took a Verlander game, they took a Cole game. You know, we all, you and I thought, you were very much thought that Astros would win this series. I was like, I think it's going to be a close series. I think the games are going to be close, but I think the Astros win it. Nationals stunned the world. Nationals fans had faith, Nats here. And right now they've won me over, sure. I'll flip-flop in the breeze. If the Astros win the next two, you might get a different answer.   Anibal Sanchez almost threw a no-hitter last round. And yeah, I mean the Astros game three is a must win. That's pretty obvious. That's not hot takey. But I'll tell you what, if they do win game three, the pressure goes right back to the Nationals, which is insane. Yeah, I wanted to disagree with you, but yeah, if they win game three and then they're bullpending game four and the Nats have Corbin, the pressure's on the Nationals to win game four. Like you have to win. Yeah. Yeah, interesting. All right, do you have anything else to say? Do you want to tell people about your glasses? I don't think so. You opened up the show with that oddly enough, but yeah. Did you have a good day yesterday? We had a day off. Love to my Nats fans. I was Nick's day yesterday, man, Nick's opening night.  They lost a real shocker. They actually played a good game for a little bit and then they, in the fourth quarter, they went on, they let the Spurs go on a 14 and a run. Well, that's bad. Bad strategy by them, but no, I'm good. I want to love to the Nats, man. I love what's going on there. I know I was tough on them. Houston was rolling. But yeah, the Nats are fun, man. There's good vibes. Lindsay Adler, who covers the Yankees for the Athletics, she was watching the game with her grandparents and she said something kind of silly and then someone replied and was like, who are they rooting for? And she goes, well, they're Giants fans, but grandma loves the vibe of this Nats team. And I was like, yeah.  Yeah, absolutely. Do you think MLB is upset because the Nats aren't catering to the young audience? That image of Strasburg being hugged by Sanchez and Para and he's kind of got the classic like, man, I don't really love hugs, but I'm loving this. Yeah, and then Scherzer came in at the end. Yeah, Scherzer's having a blast. He's a weirdo, man. He's grade A weirdo. Did you see him running outside the stadium before the game? Yeah, do you just see when they show him in the dugout and he's just like staring? He's an interesting fella. He's a weirdo. I like him. I like him. Big fan. Good. All right, I'm rooting for the Asher as game three. Series-wise, it would be cool. It's either that or Nats just dump truck them. Nah, I don't want that. I want a series. It'd be cool to watch Verlander and Cole get a second shot. Yeah, Cole was looking sad in the dugout yesterday. Yeah. Dude, he hasn't lost since May. Yeah, me neither, if we're being like real honest. Yeah, that's fair. I haven't lost since like, I don't know, a long time. Are we counting your softball games? That's what I was going back to. And that's like 2017. Yeah. So, and I was pretty good. Because you were on the bump for a lot of those too. Oh yeah, I was on the bump. Yeah, shoot the middle.  I would love if you tried to shoot the middle right now.  I was like, so sorry, so sorry. I'm like, oh, I fucking, I loved it. Shoot the middle again. He loved it. Yeah. That ends the show. Thanks for hanging out with us. We'll be back Saturday morning to recap game three and preview game four. And Jake is going to, you'll see.


The Fish Fad Program of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is working to improve access to tuna and pelagic fishes by promoting domestic anchored fad programs in the Pacific Islands region. This video will demonstrate specialized fad fishing gear and techniques that can improve your skills and catch around fads. Sometimes we hear that a particular fad has no fish on it, or that fishing that fad is a waste of time. These thoughts often come from fishers that arrive late in the morning and only use standard trolling gear. They'll make two or three trolling passes on the fad, catch nothing, and head off in search of other fish. The issue is clear. Trolling on fads is most productive early in the morning, but is one of the less effective fishing methods on fads later in the day. The importance of arriving at the fad early in the morning cannot be stressed enough. This will mean starting your trip before sunrise, as long as it is safe to do so, and arriving at the fad just when it is light enough to locate it. This is where a marker flag on your fad is so useful. Set up for trolling a few miles before you reach the fad area. Sometimes a fish strike is your first sign that a fad is close. Once the fad is located, it is important to determine the direction of the current and drift. This should be obvious by looking at how the current streams past the fad floats. It's important to keep track of where you are in relation to the fad, so you can keep track of where you're catching fish. One way is to divide the area into two up current and two down current areas centered on the fad. Take note of where you get strikes and keep returning to productive areas. Trolling from just before sunrise until about 8am can be very productive and worth doing as long as you're catching fish. Remember, mahi mahi can be dangerous when fresh. They should be gaffed or quickly tossed into an ice hold. When they settle down, spike the brain to reduce struggling and submerge in a slurry of ice and seawater. After a few trolling passes without a strike, it's time to slow down and use some other tricks. Try throttling back to 4 or 5 knots and put out some other types of lures. A rubber squid can be very effective at these speeds, especially if you pull the line causing the squid to splash and jump a bit. When exploring the four areas around a fad, try to develop an image of where you think the fish schools are holding. Yellowfin and big-eyed tuna often stay up current from the fad. Mahi mahi may be all around the fad float or very close to it with wahoo. Skipjack may be hundreds of meters away chasing bait in all directions. If you have a depth sounder, keep track of where you see fish marks. Small tuna may show as grainy blue marks, often around 30 to 40 meters below the surface. Larger tuna will appear as dark lines or check marks with more red and yellow visible. These marks may show up down to 100 meters or more. Keep track of areas where these larger fish are marking and try some midwater fad fishing techniques to get your lure or bait down to where the fish are. When tuna are holding near a fad, dropping a heavy metal lure down to them can be very effective. They come in a wide range of sizes and styles. The jigs can have a treble hook on the bottom or sharp single hooks hanging from the top or bottom on tough braided line. The simplest type is the chrome diamond jig, which are heavy and dense and sink quickly to where the tuna are. Areas up current from the fad and around 60 to 80 meters in depth are a good place to try them. Metal jigs can be fished from a hand line or a rod and reel. The most important rule is to drop your jig where the fish are and to fish your line as straight up and down as possible.  Then drop another five count before repeating. Tuna may hit the jig as it is falling or being jigged, so always be ready for a strike. Repeat until you get down to a 40 or 50 count. Now begin to retrieve your jig by gripping the line and sweeping your arm upward. Keep track of the depth you get strikes and concentrate on those depths when you drop your gear. Using a jigging rod and reel can be an advantage due to the faster retrieved speed of the reel and springy nature of the rod. An effective way to put fish in the box is the use of what we call a spreader bar. This technique uses a weighted steel rod to take a lure that can normally only be used at the surface down to where the tuna are. The technique uses a long monofilament leader of four to five arms bands in length. The lure on the spreader bar is a small trolling skirt on a single number 24 circle hook or small silvery metal lures. If your boat has an echo sounder, locate the school. Otherwise, through trial and error, you'll learn where the schools normally hold. Deploy the lure clear of the boat letting the leader stretch out fully and drop the bar to your chosen depth. This can be assisted by marking your line or by using the countdown method. It is important to have your spreader bar and lure directly below you during retrieval so the lure is rising vertically. If using a hand line, retrieve in long arm length pulls. If using a fishing rod, lift and crank in long, steady pulls. After five pulls, hesitate, then start pulling again. Often a tuna will hit when you pause. When you get to the spreader bar, place it on the gunnel and grab the leader. If the fish runs, the bar must be able to fly off the rail without tangling. When landing fish like tuna and wahoo, always wear gloves and be ready with a hook gaff, a backup gaff, a fish bat, a knife for bleeding, and a steel spike. Leader the fish close to the side of the boat to where it is just below the surface. Never pull the head of the fish out of the water. Never gaff a fish in the belly or side as it ruins the meat and may rip free and escape. Try to sink the gaff in the side of the head, at or behind the eye in a lifting or drawing motion. If the first gaff strike is off target, having a backup gaff can save the day.  Spiking the brain assures that the fish will not struggle and also preserves flesh quality. The spike should be inserted into the top of the head, between and behind the eyes at a downward angle into the brain. A quick quiver or tail flick lets you know that you've hit the spot. A sharpened screwdriver makes a good spiking tool. Spiking tuna will help to cool them down and preserve meat quality. Smaller tuna can be bled by cutting the gills or between the gills and gill cover opening and placing it head down in a bucket of seawater. Larger tuna should be bled by making a shallow cut in the side of the fish, at two to three finger widths behind the pectoral or side fin. Running a deck hose or buckets of water can help to flush out blood. Now rinse off the fish and immediately bury it in a brine mix of two parts ice to one part seawater. Always take care to ice your fish properly. Once an area of tuna have been located near a fad, various midwater handline techniques can be used to target the larger tuna that hang out below the smaller fish. This all started with the traditional Pacific Island dropstone fishing technique. They did not have fads, but practiced the technique at special areas off their islands where tuna were known to school. A baited circle hook and chum is placed on the flat side of a rock or chunk of coral and wrapped in a large fresh leaf. Several wraps of the leader are made to secure the leaf, bait and chum in a tight package. Make two winds around your thumb and pass the line through loose coils to form a slip knot. A variety of cut or whole bait fish can be used on a single circle hook. Here are two ways to hide a circle hook and strips of skipjack. Using the skin to secure the hook but leaving the bar exposed to promote a solid hook up. The boat is positioned up current of where fish are holding near the fad. Spare line is paid out and the stone package is dropped with slack line paid out quickly to the desired depth. A sharp pull frees the slip knot, releasing the weight and leaves the baited hook inside a cloud of chum. Another few fathoms of line is paid out to allow the hook to drift freely to simulate a natural bait. This method will require you to gather and bring stones or coral chunks to use as weights. These should be about the size of one or two fists and 1.5 to 2 kilograms in weight. It's good to have one flat side to secure your bait and chum on. Paluahi gear is basically the modern day version of dropstone fishing. The idea is the same, to drop your baited hand line down to where the big tuna are. But a lead weight is attached to your line instead of a stone that falls free and is lost. In this way, we can keep dropping many times using the same setup, which consists of a sturdy hand line, square chum cloth, weight, leader, and circle hook. The hand line is stored and fished from a round plastic basin, such as a plant container or a plastic laundry bin. The hand line is made from multi-strand, no stretch braided line of about 100 to 200 kilogram test. It's good to have at least 200 to 300 meters of line attached to a monofilament leader tied or crimped to a tuna circle hook in size 10 to 12 odd. Be sure to fasten the end of your line to the boat or make a loop available at the end ready to attach to extra line if needed. Check to see that your hand line is free and clear of tangles. You may want to drop your line overboard before your first drop and neatly stack it back so that it pays out smoothly. Now you need to prepare some chum. You can use any fish, bait fish, or squid chopped up into small pieces.  Some of the best baits to use are live appellu or mackerel scad and akule or big-eye scad. These can be jigged close to shore or on the fat itself. Light monofilament rigs with three to five dropper lines can be used for live bait capture. Small curly tail lures or hooks rigged with chicken feathers or shiny thread make effective lures. Handle your fresh bait carefully and keep them alive and circulating seawater. If your boat is not equipped to do so, fresh bait kept on ice is still very effective. Now to wrap up the bag. Throw your hook overboard so that it can uncoil without twists and carefully coil your leader. Place the leader coil underneath your weight in the center of the bag. Now cover the weight in leader with a handful of chum.  Often, you will use a bait made from the same fish as your chum. You can even drop a live bait inside appellu ahi bag and nothing can be better for bait tuna. Now carefully hook your bait. Fold over the bottom corner, place your hooked bait here, which helps to separate it from your leader and reduces the chance of tangling. Fold over the two side corners.  You can wrap two ways or just one depending on the shape of your weight. Hook the line around your thumb and reverse it to form a loop in the opposite direction of your line. Take one or two overhand wraps around your line to secure the chum and bait inside a tight package. The most important thing about midwater fad fishing is to drop your bait where the fish are. This is often just up current from the fad and fad mooring. Using his experience, observations of birds and an echo sounder, the captain will now position the boat just up current of where he believes fish are. The captain moves to this area and signals to the crew to drop their polu bag to a depth where he thinks the fish are holding. On fads, this can be quite deep, like 60 to 100 meters or more. Care must be taken to not drop too close to the fad and tangle with the fads mooring line. When ready to drop, extra line is paid out before dropping the polu bag. The package must fall free so that it remains tightly bound together as it sinks. The main line should be marked so that it can be reliably deployed to the proper depth. Another technique is to slowly count as it sinks. Sometimes you can see the polu bag on the echo sounder as it drops and determine how your counting relates to depth. When you reach your target depth, take a wrap on the hand line.  You should feel the weight unrolling. Slowly take in line until you feel that it is fully unwrapped. Give a long, steady pull, repeated by another slow pull of about arms length. This will spread out the chum and stretch out your leader, leaving your baited hook inside the cloud of chum. Now take one wrap on your line and get ready. A bite often comes within a minute or so of opening your polu bag.  Instead, provide steady pressure and let the fish hook itself in the corner of the mouth as circle hooks do. If no bite occurs, you can slowly pay out line to keep your bait close to the chum. After drifting past the fad, retrieve your line and repeat the process. Sometimes, releasing chum at the same depth will attract tuna to the area. If the polu ahi method is used with a basket of hand line, the fisherman will hold up the line waiting for a bite. You can also use a set amount of line and attach floats that are cast overboard, allowing the line to drift past the fad. This is a very effective way to drift fish the fad while you move around trying other methods. One boat can deploy many buoy lines.  In this example, the lead weight is attached to a swivel that is bound to the chum cloth. Your hand line passes through the same swivel then to another swivel, your leader and hook. Another way to get your bait down to the bigger fish is to use what we call a cone bag. This is a very simple system that uses a cloth bag sewn into a triangular cone that holds your chum. You can use the same hand line basket in line that you use for dropstone or polu ahi gear.  Attach a lead weight about half to one kilogram near the pointed end of the cone. Thread your hand line through the weight to a large swivel. Your fishing leader is attached to the other end of the swivel. Use a good quality clear monofilament of 50 to 150 kilogram test and about three to four meters long attached to a 10-odd to 12-odd circle hook. Bait your circle hook. A strip of fresh skipjack or tuna works great. Hole or cut appellu or mackerel scat is another proven bait. Cone bag fishing is very fast because you don't even have to coil the leader. Fill the bag with chopped chum and bury the hook bait inside. Position the boat over where you think the fish are. Throw some extra line on the water and carefully drop your bag, pointy end first. As long as you pay outline faster than it's dropping, the chum and bait will remain inside the bag. When your desired depth is reached, wrap the line around your hand to stop the bag and pull up sharply on the line. This will flip the cone bag over and release the chum in your baited hook. If for some reason you experience tangles, you can also coil the leader and bury it inside the chum instead. Remember, if you feel a bite, do not pull back sharply which will pop the circle hook free. Just hold steady and let the fish hook itself. Most bites occur right away, so be ready. Tuna are often hanging around a fad but will not strike on standard trolling lures or jigs. This can be really frustrating but they can often be taken on fresh cut tuna chunks or whole bait fish. Chunking is one of the simplest fishing techniques but can also be one of the most effective ways to fill your box. The gear is simple, a conventional fishing rod and reel loaded with 20 to 30 kilogram line. A multi-strand braided hand line of 100 kilogram test will also work. The best hooks to use are short shank, live bait style hooks. Remember, circle hooks are not used when chunking. Sneller tie your hook rigidly to the hook eye which helps make solid hookups. Prepare your chum by mixing chopped bait and a small amount of water in a bucket. It's best to smash and crush the bait so all the large pieces are gone and the water becomes brown.  Move about 50 to 100 meters up current from the fad to begin your drift depending on the speed of the current. Position the boat so that it will pass the fad by about 20 meters on either side. Ideally, you have a fresh skipjack, kava kava or mackerel scad that you can use for bait. Cut a cube of flesh about two centimeters on a side or sized to your hook. A strip of skipjack belly or small bait fish is also effective. Carefully hide your hook inside the bait. When the boat is drifting in position, move to the upwind side and put your rod in the nearest rod holder. Now drop the bucket of chum overboard and drop your hooked bait in the cloud of crushed chum. Make sure your reel is on the clicker setting and start stripping line as fast as the boat is drifting. It's important to strip enough line so that your bait drifts freely with no drag.   Keep chumming the same drift and you will eventually bring the fish up and in a biting mood. Vertical long line gear sets baited branch lines on a vertical main line to target the larger deeper swimming tuna on fads. One line may fish 10 to 15 baited circle hooks down to 300 meters. Vertical long lines can be buoyed off to drift past a fad or fish directly from a drifting vessel in combination with other gears such as Paluahi and Dropstone. Here we see a simple line storage system rigged from two plastic wash basins taped together. A section of three strand rope is spliced to the swivel and used to connect the branch line leader using a single sheet bend. If you have them, stainless steel long line snaps are used to attach the three to six meter branch lines to a spliced loop on the main line. They can also be clipped to the eye of very large swivels. Here we see a homemade hook bucket. The hook is baited and thrown over before clipping the snap to the main line. The process is simply reversed when retrieving the line. Be careful to attach each hook to its corresponding snap to avoid tangles. This is the FAO wooden handrail that can store, deploy, and retrieve the main line when securely mounted to the vessel. A simple weight is made from three sections of steel construction bar bound together. Weight should be two to five kilograms. A variety of cut or hole baits can be used for your vertical long line. And when deploying the vertical long line, the circle hook is baited, thrown over, then clipped to the main line that is slowly let out to prevent tangling. It is important that the hooks are in the water before branch lines are attached for safety reasons. This process continues until all branch lines are set. Floats and a flag marker buoy are attached and allowed to drift past the fad. Setting must be done carefully to avoid tangling the fad mooring line. When the long line has been drifting for an hour or more, approach it from downwind to begin the retrieval. Clip the line into the reel and retrieve branch lines, storing them carefully to avoid tangling on the next deployment. The SPC manual on vertical long lining should be consulted for additional details on gearing up, setting and operating vertical long lines. The manual can be found online by searching SPC vertical long line. Consult the manual also for details on the other fad fishing techniques. We hope this video will encourage you to try some fad fishing methods to improve your catch of larger tuna and your access to fish throughout the day. There are different ways to rig each particular method, so it will be up to you to adapt the gear to match your local conditions. Good and safe fishing to all.


Robinhood, a stock trading app. If you go ahead and look online, a lot of people have a lot of bad things to say about Robinhood. It would seem like it's one of the worst apps, and it has all these negatives to it. But in reality, it's the first stock trading app I ever used. And after trying multiple different kinds, it's still my favorite stock trading app. Hey, what's up guys? It's Josh here. I have been trading stocks and crypto for a few years now. I kind of wanted to do a video showcasing my crypto portfolio and my stock portfolio, although it's super down right now because stocks are super down. But I've tried almost every different kind of stock trading app. And Robinhood was the first one that I used. And I got to say it's still my favorite stock trading app. I don't know why it gets all the hate. It's just so easy to use and there's no fees for right now. And I love it. Real quick, before I go into the pros and the cons, I do want to say I'll put it down below. But there is a referral link. So if you do click on my affiliate link and you end up getting signed up for Robinhood, once it's all gone through, you will get a free stock and I will get a free stock, which is pretty nice. So you don't have to do that. But just by signing up, you literally will get free money. It will probably be only a few dollar stock, but it's free and there's no hidden fees or any BS for Robinhood. That's what I like. So if you don't already have Robinhood and you want a free stock, the link is down below and we'll both get one. All right guys, let's jump into the pros that I have with Robinhood. And the main pro is that it has legit no fees like zero none. Now I mainly trade crypto on the other apps, but almost every other app I've used, there's all sorts of fees. Crypto.com is like a percentage of the purchase they'll take in fees and then Coinbase, they also take some weird percentage. But every other stock trading app I've ever used, they always charge at least a little bit for trades and it's so nice and Robinhood having none.   And then when you sell, they also take a 3% fee. So that's like 6% right there. So in order for you to make money, it has to go up over 6% where as in Robinhood, if it goes up 3% and you pull out, that's what she said, you get that 3%. And they also have something called limit buy and limit sell, which is very common. And I'm pretty sure all stock apps have this, but sometimes if you go on Robinhood, it'll be one price and you hit buy, it'll charge you a little bit more than the price that they show you. But if you put a limit buy and limit sell, it will only buy at a specific price. So like if you look at the stock and it's like $43 and you buy it and then Robinhood charges you like $43.50 or something. It's because Robinhood's trying to make the trade and that's the only available trade. It's a little bit higher than what the stock is at now. But if you're like, hey, I don't want this for any more than $43, you go and put a limit buy on it. It will only buy at $43. So there's a way to make sure that you pay exactly what you think you're going to pay every time with no fees. And there also is a limit sell option. So if you buy it at 35 and you want to sell at 50, even if it spikes at 50 for a few minutes, you have a limit sell and it'll sell like that. So limit buys, limit sells are amazing. They're on all stock apps, but because this is free, it's just so much more nice to avoid those fees. And if you wanted the day trade, you get more of a percentage of your stock back. I just love it. They also have multiple other ways to earn money.  Give them to somebody else temporarily. And when they use your stocks, they give you 1% of the total value of them. So you're essentially getting money for free. And if you wanted to sell, you could sell at any time. It's a great addition to any stock trading app because you have all the freedom to buy and sell whenever you want. And you have a chance of earning 1% just because you own the stock, which is crazy. I'm pretty sure if you just have money in the app and you haven't bought stocks yet, I think it's like 1.5% they give you back, which isn't the most, but it's more than you would make in the bank. So essentially just moving your money into Robinhood and not buying any stocks, you'll get a bigger percentage just putting it in Robinhood, which is crazy. And also if you go to Robinhood Gold, which is like a paid service, I think they give you like 4% cashback if you're on Robinhood Gold. So if you did have enough money, you could probably pay for that gold membership and probably earn more because you're getting 4% back that way, which I really like. Also, there was something called a Roth IRA and I just recently got into them, but it's essentially a portfolio that is somehow untaxed. I haven't really looked into it. Maybe you have to take it out as a retirement thing or you have to wait to a certain time or you can only withdraw it once.  And for a long time, Robinhood didn't have Roth IRA and I was fine with it because there's no fees.  Like I'm not going to pay a lot of taxes unless I make banks. So I was kind of fine with it, but now that they have this Roth IRA, it just sweetens the deal, makes it even better. This is another feature that's on a lot of stock apps, but I love that they have it here and that is dividend reinvestment. So I don't know if you guys are familiar with stocks, but certain stocks have something called a dividend. So just by owning the stock, they end up giving you money every quarter, every month, every year, whatever cycle it's on. So you can choose to have the dividends that they give you be immediately reinvested back into the stock. So if you're somebody who's like, I just want this to build and I don't even want to look at it, you could literally keep buying a certain stock and you're going to keep getting dividends for that stock and keep reinvesting. So on top of the stock being able to go up, you're just getting free stock because you own it. And then on top of that, there's also the stock lending thing as well. So it's just like so many percentages in one here. Alright guys, if I were to jump into the cons that I had with Robinhood, the main con that I have, and this isn't really a crypto dominant trading platform, like it's mainly about stocks. There are some cryptos on here, but it's not crypto dominant. But if you go to Coinbase, if you go to crypto.com and a lot of the other ones, they have options called crypto staking. So you essentially buy crypto, you vault it or like send it away for a one month, two months, three months, whatever it is. And the whole time you're sending it away, you're getting a really nice percentage back. I think on Coinbase, all you have to do is buy it once and you get a percentage back if it's a staking coin. So if you go to these other crypto platforms, they have crypto staking, which essentially gives you free crypto the more that you buy crypto. So it's very similar to dividends, but Robinhood does not have the dividend style staking for crypto. They only have it for the stocks. But at the same time, every time you buy crypto on Coinbase or crypto.com, they always charge you a fee. So you can earn more through the staking, but at the same time, every purchase you make, they're taking much more from you than Robinhood would. Again, there's no fees for Robinhood and you could put a limit by limit sell. So you know exactly what you're paying. You don't pay a penny over. I don't expect this to last forever, but right now it's perfect. So another con with it is it doesn't have overly in depth market data. Now they do have Robinhood Gold. So maybe on Robinhood Gold, they have better market data, but one of my coworkers was more into stocks than I was when I first got in and he would use Weeble or Tastyworks and he would get his information about stocks on those apps and then come back to Robinhood to buy them because Robinhood didn't have the most information, but you could buy without fees. So it doesn't have the most in depth stock information, but it has tons of information more than I would need right now. So it's not as in depth as other sites, maybe it is on the gold, but at least at one point, it didn't have the most in depth market data.  Like I would probably expect it to take maybe 20, 30 minutes to sign up. It was definitely the longest and hardest to set up, but at the same time, I just love the platform. I like that all the purchases are free. And when you actually sign up, you're getting a stock literally for free. So you could literally sign up, get this stock, cash it out back into your bank account, even though the stock's probably going to be like two, three bucks, you get a free one.  I also wanted to do a video on all the crypto that I own and all the stocks that I own. Let me know if you guys want to see that video down below. I have no idea if this video is going to be successful, not successful, could be a bomb. You guys could be super into it, but if you want more, I will do a video on all the crypto that I hold and all the stocks that I hold. Although the stocks are super low for me and I'm getting absolutely annihilated right now, I can still show you. Anyways guys, have you traded stocks in your life? You trade crypto at all? I'd be very interested to see. If you do, what is your favorite trading platform? I'd be very interested to see down below. We're on the road of 50,000 subscribers and I couldn't do without any regrets. I hope you guys are the best. Having a great day out here. Hopefully, having a great day at home. See you all in the next video. Peace.
