I want to see how he'd 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.959 handle the diamond notes comparison to you one of them 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:45.080 on Friday. I was like, we'll see, We'll see how 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.160 Derek does relative to John. 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.160 They will not be award winning diamondotes. They will be 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:50.880 the Razzies of Domino of diamond ootes. 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.200 Yeah, Razzy diamond notes. And then giants read it will 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.800 be all over it. He had losers. 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:58.680 Can you imagine if giants read it was all over 0:01:58.720 --> 0:01:59.280 diamond notes. 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.160 Oh they are, I've I've seen it before. Stop better 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.280 than their life. They are not all over diamond notes. 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.040 Oh yeah they are because as I said to you, 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.040 as you guys know, when we do diamond notes, there's 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:10.560 all sorts of sponsors. We got to get to your 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.920 starting pitchers, or who's hot you're hitting the lumber your 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.120 player at a bank on. My favorite is the weather 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.080 report because that's the one that gets me out of 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:18.919 a time jam. 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:20.320 Put your head out the window. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.960 What people don't know, Derek, is that and you know this, 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.160 But what people don't know is that diamond notes are 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.680 all about sponsors. It's all about can you hit every 0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:29.480 sponsor you need to? 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.800 And what people don't know, that's it. 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.359 What people who know about diamond notes is you have 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.280 to finish all ten of the sponsors within a certain 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.280 amount of time, by an exact second. 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:41.400 I don't think people know listening know this. 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.640 So sometimes I do it like yesterday, you heard me 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.240 do it pretty casual, laid back. I'm giving you notes, 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.560 I'm giving you stats. We're talking about the scores. Then 0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.440 two days ago there was a game where we did 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:51.919 the talk back. 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:52.840 We had John it all. 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:53.919 It depends on the talk back. 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.520 By the way, By the way, if John Texas long, 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:57.560 more power to him. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.760 I love John, Love John Miller. I love what he's 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:00.320 got to say. 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.880 I want you talk more than I want you or 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.520 I'm doing this job because I like hearing John. 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:06.720 Miller of course of course, you know what I mean. 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:08.840 Uh, he was talking to us about like a Red 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.520 Sox game that was going on against against Toronto up 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.239 in Toronto, and he was waxing poetic and doing doing 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.320 his John Miller bit, and I was loving pain. 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.120 But then we get out of the John Miller talk. 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:20.600 Back, you and I and I'm like, oh boy, I 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.200 got to hit ten sponsors in like three and a 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.400 half minutes with two minutes in between as a commercial break, 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.080 so people don't know we've got to hit that as 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.239 an exact second. So to me, the weather report, that's 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:31.240 the one that bails us out. 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:31.440 Bro. 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.440 That's the one where I say, weather Report, we're a jacket. 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.720 It's the ball. What are you doing? 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.040 There's yea were doing? But beautiful day at the yard today. 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.120 Unfortunately the Giants don't pull this one out. I do 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:43.520 want to note real quick because we are going to 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.400 talk more football. We're going to talk more about where 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.800 we're going forward because and I do think there's a 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.120 bit of a release for Giants baseball, Like there's a 0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:53.240 bit of a weight off your shoulders. Uh, Like do 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.520 you remember do you remember when Tom got let go? 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.160 Every day? 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.000 How what makes you think of it. 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.040 Yeah, yeah, gigantic shoes to film. 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:04.440 Do you remember though, that you and I kind of 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:05.880 had that moment where we talked to each other and 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.680 we're like, hey, man, like it's sort of it's there's 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.920 something about like the ass screw it mentality of it, like, ah, 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.800 if he's going, then anybody's going, Like there's something week too. 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:16.680 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was. 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.120 I was saying Tom because I didn't want to like 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.520 hit it on the nose, you know, but there's something 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:21.240 freeing about that. 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:21.760 Yeah. 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:23.080 And I think you and I had talked about it 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:24.280 for a couple of months where I said, look, we 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.640 knew this thing was going bad. We kept talking about 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.600 is this the low water mark? Is this rock bottom? Yeah, 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.400 it's not really important anymore. And I know we mentioned 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.600 it yesterday they'd fallen twenty one below. I guess they're 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.520 twenty one below again after winning. 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:37.440 Last Is this rock bottom? 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:38.800 Copes? It doesn't really matter. 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.680 It does because it's almost unfair at this juncture to 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:48.599 gauge or to judge any GM President of Baseball managerial 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.039 move like I'd like to see Tony Vitello use this 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.840 time in the same way that we see the younger 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.359 players getting opportunity to play, not that you need to 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.839 just try new things out, but give guys an opportunity 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.240 to go longer than maybe they have in the month 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:02.200 of May or in the month. 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:03.760 Of June, right when maybe you're in the heart of 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:04.960 the or in the thick of things. 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.719 You want to see guys work through some things you 0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:09.000 haven't things that you haven't seen them do before. I 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:10.920 want to see guys in situations you haven't seen him 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:12.520 in before. I don't know if you've noticed we've seen 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.960 a lot more of Bryce Eldridge at first base. Yeah, 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.680 it's almost like, yeah, why not now at the time, 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:19.720 run that guy out there, let them play, let them 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.640 make the mistakes they need to make. I felt that 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.120 way today about Adrian Hauser, a guy who lost his 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.120 job to go to the bullpen, a guy the one 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.320 of the two guys the Giants signed this offseason, between 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.880 he and Tyler Maalley, who was given a two year contract. 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.159 So you and I keep talking about, well, next year, 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.240 next year, next year, and I said, you know, they've 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.159 got Logan webb they traded Robbie Ray. We thought maybe 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.640 they'd have Trevor McDonald. They've got Landing groupe. But I 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.720 think now looking at Adrian Hauser like they're going to 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:44.560 go into next year with the plan for him to 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.040 be one of the starters, whether it's the two, whether 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.800 it's the three. I don't love the depth of that rotation. 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.160 Even if he's the two or the three. I think 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.279 he tracks more as a four or a five. But 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.440 what I do love is his performance is out of 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.200 the bullpen, and he's the guy who I think is 0:05:57.200 --> 0:05:59.080 more comfortable now than he was early in the season, 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:00.680 and he's pitched up with a little bit of f 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:02.640 you you know what I mean, which is the way 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.120 you should go after it. Nothing to lose, put it 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.120 all on the table, pitch inside. You hit a guy, 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.160 let's go after him and try to get him in 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.719 places that he's uncomfortable. I think that works in the 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.240 same way for young players as it does for veterans 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.600 who are gonna be here beyond this season. And I 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.760 appreciate the way he's gone about it, and it makes 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:21.680 me look forward a bit to more of the depth 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:24.240 of what this rotation could be over the offseason into 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:24.839 next season. 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.880 Of course, if we have a season. We talked to it. 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.800 I was at Morosi. Last week we talked to yes 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:33.159 It said he believed. He's an optimist. 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.440 He said, I believe we're playing baseball by May or 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.560 by the end of May. And I'm like, I Honestly, 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:39.120 to me, that was a little bit of a shock. 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:41.480 I'm like, man, that's the optimistic part of it. That's 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:43.120 tough that we're talking about missing a month. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.080 Well that's what every national guy has said so far, 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.080 which is okay, okay, that's okay. 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:51.239 But in trying to find bridespots, it's almost it's almost 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.840 more relaxing and more enjoyable to go to a ball 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.080 game like this today, where there's just kind of a 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.240 you know, stress is off. Let's see what else we have. 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.760 The Giants today by Baseball America, and I don't want 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.159 to say Baseball America means more than any other entity, 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.159 but in terms of covering prospects and raiding minor league systems, 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.400 they have been the standard of that prior to ESPN, 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:13.840 prior to MLB dot Com and all these other analysts 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.400 who put out what their rankings are. And as of today, 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.200 following the trade deadline, the Giants rank, according to Baseball 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:24.080 America as the number four organization in terms of minor 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.920 league system in all of baseball, and that to me 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.640 in the month of August, where you've gone through the 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.760 trade deadline, you know where the team stands. That makes 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:34.920 it a bit easier to sort of digest a game 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:38.200 like this because I want to see guys in certain situations. 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:39.560 I want to see how they execute. I want to 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:39.920 see how. 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:45.640 They perform, and it makes the endgame or the results 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:50.000 of the game itself almost secondary to what this season 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.480 or the remainder of this season means for the team 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.160 going forward. And it's my first game being here like that. 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:57.000 I wasn't here last night or the night before, so 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.360 first time since the deadline. Then I was like, Okay, 0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:01.600 this is what it's going to be. And I'm I'm 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.800 okay with that because we know what the goal of 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.400 the team is. It's evaluate and it moved forward. 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:06.720 Yep. 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.840 I mean that should be the mentality of every fit 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.360 at this point, where I've said it for the longest time, 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.160 there's certain points of the season where Buster Posey goes 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.880 into evaluation mode and that's what every fan should do 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.520 the rest of the way. Where yes, last night, great 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.920 to see Bryce Elidridge Haite a home run four hundred 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.800 and twenty three feet. It's great to see Carson Wisdon 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.680 and have that performance. It's not good to see Willia 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.400 domis just I don't know what the hell that was 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.240 that with the double play today and in the seventh 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:32.920 inning there. 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.559 I think, I mean, I was going to say, he's 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.920 got something going on with his back and uh. And 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:39.760 I was sitting in the in the stands at that point, 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.679 and my initial thought was I was with Lunda. 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.400 I said he didn't forget how many outs there were, 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:43.679 did he? 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.320 And clearly before yeah. 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.400 But that was kind of the initial thought. Clearly that 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:49.280 was not the situation. 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.800 He's dealing with the health issue with his back, and 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:53.559 that's why he didn't sling it the second which means 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.280 he didn't sling at the first base excuse me, Sabbly 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.720 tried to fire it but didn't have any urgency there. 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.880 And the injuries are concerning. But it seemingly it was 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.599 a backfing more than it was a mental era and 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.200 that's that's just part of the game. 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:07.240 Yeah, it is part of the game. 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.720 But then Victor Barracota and left field drops the ball, 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:11.040 so not great. 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:13.040 But then again, like, as John Lunz said the. 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:14.720 Other day, I thought he hit it on the head 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.439 where it's not about wins and losses anymore. 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.280 It's about individuals. 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:20.960 And it sucks that a lot of these guys are 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.760 injured right now, Casey Schmidt, Daniel Sussex, Trevor McDonald's wait 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.000 for those guys to come back. But yeah, it really 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.480 is just evaluation mode as a fan and also cherishing 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.800 the memories of my Kruco. That's the most important thing 0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.520 to me the rest of the way. So I know 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.360 some fans will be like, screw that. You still got 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.920 to win every game, and I'm sure Tony Vaitelo has 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:40.600 some of that mentality, But. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.800 Well, did you hit him the other night, Derek Well, 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:44.200 Monday night, one day night, there. 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.320 Was there was a question, excuse me, a question about 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.960 why he pulled Tidwell when he did, Yeah, play Tidwell 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:50.599 and he'd been pitching really well. That slur of is 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:53.160 nasty And again, love what I'm seeing from him. But 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.440 for me, it's always about what is the second time 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.240 through the league. Look Like in football, you can be like, wow, 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.079 that quarterback's getting it, he's building, he's game. Same as 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.560 in basketball, not that you don't have, you know, books 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.120 that teams pick up on you. But it's different in 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:09.000 baseball where you hit it, situationally, what pitchers you're swinging at, 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.360 what you really struggle at. It's a little bit different 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.480 in terms of how they view you because it's pitcher 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.800 by pitcher trying to attack a different guy you're not 0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:18.600 In basketball, you're seeing different defenders every night, but that 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.480 team has only got, you know, three guards that are 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.559 going to go up against you. Right baseball, you might 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:26.720 see eight different pitchers in one series, versus in basketball, 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:28.640 in a series, you're gonna see the same starting five 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.240 almost every single night. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.520 So I totally understand all that. 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.960 But it's also about the adjustments you make to the adjustment, 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:36.599 and we haven't seen a lot of that from a 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:38.480 lot of these guys. So when Tidwall got pulled out 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:41.960 of the game Monday night, Vaytella was asked after the game, 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.320 why didn't you leave him in to let him get 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:44.679 through that jam? And he said, we're trying to win 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:49.080 ball games, And I was like, what is that? Like, Yeah, 0:10:49.120 --> 0:10:52.120 it's important, and for him it probably means something different 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:53.760 than it does to us, of course, right, like we're 0:10:53.760 --> 0:10:56.000 willing to accept where we are in the season. He's 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:57.440 the guy who's in his first year as a manager. 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.599 He's like, I'm not trying to lose games, and I 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.480 do you do an extent appreciate that. I also think 0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:06.160 that the victory again and the winning means something, but 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:08.160 winning how is important as well. 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.760 Yeah, I mean he's dictated by wins and losses, so 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.200 I totally understand from his standpoint. 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.160 But he knows the bigger picture here. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.520 He knows what Buster Posey and Zack Manasin are doing 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.000 behind the scenes. He just has to says he just 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.679 has to say that to the media right now. So yes, 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.080 despite what happens, he doesn't really have a say in 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.160 what goes on in the front office. 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:27.320 So he just rolls with the punches. 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.959 Okay, we're gonna trade away Elliott Ramos and Luisa Rise 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:31.440 and Robbie Ray and all these guys, and I have 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:33.400 to find a way to win games. Look, sure they're 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:34.959 more of a plan in the off season. If there 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:36.679 is there will be an off season. But we'll see 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.920 if there's a season. But yeah, I think at this 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.640 point it's evaluation mode for fans as well. Who do 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.360 you like who you don't like and let's see what 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:44.320 happens in the off season. 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.280 Yeah, I mean, who do you like as a fan? 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.880 It's funny, right because you can see something like let 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:52.640 me ask you, just me and you, dude fifty thousand, 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:55.839 all right, you emia nobody else listening in, Like, how 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.280 do you as a fan? You're a fan, I'm a fan. 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:00.360 We're guys who've never played pro sports. 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:01.320 How do you think. 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.560 Fans view the game relative to whether or not they're 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.080 right or wrong about what it is they're seeing? 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.960 Oh, well, go ahead. You know that's where you and 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.560 I step in and tell them how wrong they are. 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:13.320 Right, you would answer this one, bro, well what do 0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:13.600 you think? 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.440 Cause, like, dude, I like, there's a great scene and 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.800 I know people hate on it that movie Fever Pitch 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:19.559 for Jimmy Fallon. 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:20.640 I actually never seen it yet. 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:22.880 It's to me, I don't hate it. I don't think 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.079 it's a great baseball movie. But there are scenes in 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:27.760 it that make me laugh. And there's one where he's okay, 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.040 so he's like a middle school teacher. He's talking to 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.640 Drew berrymore and they've been dating throughout the off season. Yeah, 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.800 and he's trying to tell her, like, a baseball season 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.840 is coming, and you don't know who I am when 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.480 baseball starts, right, So he goes. She invites him to 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:41.120 like go to a birthday thing for her family, and 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.720 he goes, I, So here's the thing. Every spring break, 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.400 me and my buddies go down to spring training in Florida. 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.040 She goes, you go to Florida for spring break at 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.040 your age. He's like, no, no, no, no, it's not spring 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.199 spring break. It's spring training. She goes in the Red 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.760 Sox like, let you train with the team, and he goes, no, no, no, no, no. 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:58.600 We don't get to train with him. But we look 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.200 at the team and we decide who we like, we 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.600 don't like, who they should keep, or who She goes and. 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.320 The Red Sox listen to you, and he goes, well, no, 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:06.520 not he not yet. 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:07.160 Right. 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:08.880 Well, when you bring it down like that, it sounds sad. 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.400 It does. That's kind of the point of what I'm getting. 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.720 But that's sports fandom, that's exactly it is. Like I'm 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.200 evaluating these guys. I want to know who they should take, 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.440 who they should keep, what they should do in the draft, 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.440 who should be the starter next year. Yeah, because you're 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.840 an informed fan and because it all comes back to 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.600 your love and care for the success of this team. Yes, 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.119 So it brings me back to like, fans are emotional. 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.319 I'm emotional. Yes, you're emotional. We've been around the stuff. 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.040 They're called fanatics for a reason, man. 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.600 World, Yeah, that's exactly where the word fan comes from, 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:40.880 that you're a fanatic about this team in and of itself. 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.600 So I just wonder, like when we talk about, Okay, 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.160 who do fans want to see? Who do they want 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.520 to keep? For me, it's less about like does the 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.400 fan like what's happening or does the fan understand how 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.400 the team views this player. That's where That's how I 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.240 view baseball at this point of the year. 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:57.439 I think it's mixed. 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.080 I think that we see, we hear fans call in 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.959 in and it frustrates me. But the fans that call 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.280 in and say, why would you trade Luisa Rise He's 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.000 the heartbeat of the team right now, And I'm like, 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:11.360 I understand, but guys, it's an expiring contract. You're gonna 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.480 lose him anyway, probably in the offseason, so you would 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.200 have to trade him. It's not about this guy inspiring 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.600 your child at the game right now, it's about getting 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:19.720 prospects for him. 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:21.280 That's the ultimate goal here. 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.640 It's not about putting smiles on children in the ballpark. 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:27.520 Eight year old Charlie don't care about the single way 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.200 prospects you got from the dr that's coming over. 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.160 But neither does. But Buster Posey doesn't care about the kid. 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:33.640 I mean he. 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.800 Does because he's the memory making Yeah he is. I 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.000 would say he does care about that kid. But like 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.560 you got a job for the lawn hall, you got 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:43.160 a job to do. 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:44.160 Yes, of course. 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:48.080 My brother texted me today and said, with with that 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.720 that article tag to the text, he said, number four 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.400 Giants prospects system in all of baseball. 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:57.120 He goes, Buster knows what he's doing. I was like, yeah, 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:58.040 I also think that. 0:14:58.120 --> 0:15:02.400 In the Hunter Pence's comment earlier today, he said, look, 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.000 it's gonna take three years before it's Buster's team. I've 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.040 been saying that to you since Paster took the job. Yeah, 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:08.680 I told you that. I was like, dude, went far 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.280 on took the job. People were pissed day one year 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:15.560 one season. People are upset because it's the move on 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.200 from Boach. It's the hiring of Dave Kapler's all this 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.600 stuff people were upset about, and I go, dude, the 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:22.920 guy doesn't even have his system in place. Now we 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.600 find out his system wasn't operating at a super high level. 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.400
