00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 5: I was like, well, I award at the point right now.

91

92
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 6: I was texting with John Shaye this morning. Oh nice,

93
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 6: just texting about his William May's book.

94
00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: Oh sweet.

95
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, So I was just you know, just texting. It's

96
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 6: cool because it's like it's it's like seasonal. But I

97
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 6: used to have this one well, I mean my family

98
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 6: still Mamasusi and her brother Michael, Bob and and that

99
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 6: side of the family still season ticket holders.

100
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: But we didn't we had a package. We didn't go

101
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: to every game.

102
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 6: It was a shared group of four seats, so we'd

103
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 6: get certain number of games a year out of the group, right,

104
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 6: But we do like our draft of tickets every year

105
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 6: with the group, which was always a fun party. But

106
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 6: when you sit in seats for a long time, and

107
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 6: my buddy Jason, best friend Jason had seats in three

108
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 6: twenty one in in view box where I saw tons

109
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 6: of games for a number of years, you get to

110
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 6: know the people around your section. You get to know

111
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 6: your ushers a lot of times, especially at the ballpark.

112
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 6: They've done this for years, which I love. It'll be

113
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 6: the same usher at the same section for like a decade, Yeah,

114
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. And they get to move

115
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 6: up and then you're like, if you're in the club level,

116
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 6: I think as an usher, you've made it. You can

117
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 6: stand inside, I mean st out of the cold a

118
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 6: little bit exactly. I think that's a that's a good

119
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 6: area to be. More to the point is it's like

120
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 6: they're part of your summertime family.

121
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: You get them.

122
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 6: It's part of the bar of the routine against all

123
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 6: these there's all these is why baseball to me is

124
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 6: just different. There's all these layers to it. There's a

125
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 6: daily element to it, and I think that's what makes

126
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 6: it such a companion, you know.

127
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: I mean, it's different football. I go all in. I

128
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: love it.

129
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 6: I love the grand of football. I love the storyline,

130
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 6: the big game. Then you talk about it. It's almost

131
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 6: like pro wrestling, right. The storylines happen off the field.

132
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 6: You get into the ring and you settle one thing,

133
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 6: but then that ring creates a whole bunch of new

134
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 6: storylines that build off of it, and then you do

135
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 6: all the drama and everything that happens.

136
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: All week long, all the talk and all the smack talk, and.

137
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 6: Then you do it again, you get back in the ring.

138
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 6: It's sort of like watching SmackDown once a week. Baseball

139
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 6: is different, and that's just a layer that I hadn't

140
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 6: really thought about until I was you know, we got

141
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 6: Susan selesterom, we got contest coming on.

142
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: Got excited. I talked to it to Shaye this morning.

143
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 6: I'm like, I'm starting to feel the baseball, as Polly

144
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 6: Mack would say, the pangs.

145
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 5: It's more routine. Like it's more routine as like, you know,

146
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 5: in comparison to the NFL, where weekly you don't really

147
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 5: have your habits with baseball. Yeah, you see you go

148
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 5: to the ballpark, you see your friends, you see people

149
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 5: working the concession stands. We'll see our guys at fifty

150
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 5: eight social. That always hook us up. So we're gonna

151
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 5: have a lot of fun doing that tomorrow with Murphy

152
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 5: and Marcus, Greg Silver and JD. Doing that for two hours.

153
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,359

Speaker 6: and romantic to open the show.

155
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 5: As you should. You know what I mean, how could

156
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 5: you not be romantic about baseball?

157
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 3: How could you not do And there's no crying in baseball.

158
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 5: There is no crying.

159
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 6: What is your what's your favorite baseball movie? Because you,

160
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 6: I mean, you're just as as a fan. And my

161
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 6: dad has got to love baseball movies.

162
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 5: Yes, but he hates Moneyball though, even though he's in it.

163
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: I love Cobb with Tommy Lae Jones.

164
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 5: Yes, I thought Tommy Lee Jones really epitomized Ty Cobb.

165
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 6: My two favorite is Cob Tommy Lee Dude. Remember in Cobb,

166
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 6: Tommy Lee Jones is sitting in the dug out. He's

167
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 6: like sharpening his spikes.

168
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 5: I've actually never seen Cob, but I need to get around.

169
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: You're not you're okay, it's not. I mean, it's fine.

170
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 3: It's just it's it's fine.

171
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 6: It's like, yeah, I think it wanted to be I

172
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 6: mean it tries to be epic, and Tommy Lee Jones like,

173
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 6: for the most part, whatever he touches, I think it's

174
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 6: pretty good.

175
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like he's in something. It's I mean, it's

176
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: damn good.

177
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 5: He makes Batman forever.

178
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: He's great. Oh yeah, he's great.

179
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: Face.

180
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny he took that role.

181
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 5: My favorite baseball movie. Honestly, I think you and I

182
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 5: had this conversation a couple of years ago, and I

183
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 5: always get the name wrong for for.

184
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 6: Love of the game or love of the game, the

185
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 6: third Kevin Costner Baseball. I think it's actually more forgotten one.

186
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 6: It's actually pretty well done.

187
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 5: Where it pretty much epitomizes an older pitch, sure in

188
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 5: the later stage of his career, and you know, the

189
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 5: whole element of having.

190
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 3: The premise disease or women, you know, off.

191
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 5: The field, and coming back to a city you go

192
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 5: to every year, kind of being pushed out by an organization,

193
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 5: having all those memories while you're pitching a perfect game. Yeah, yeah,

194
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 5: I think I think that movie's pretty well done.

195
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 6: It's a really good movie. It's a little slow. It's

196
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 6: baseball and it's a love story. And the premise is

197
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 6: that he's a like a thirty eight or thirty nine

198
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 6: year old maybe forty year old pitcher pitching for the Tigers.

199
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 6: And he's pitched his whole career for the Tigers. Okay,

200
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 6: do you remember how it ends?

201
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 8: Though?

202
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know exactly how it. I've seen the movie

203
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: one hundred times.

204
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 5: He gets traded the Giants. He's like, no way in

205
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 5: hell am I going.

206
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 6: This is what happens is He's like, it's near the

207
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 6: end of his career. It's the final day of the season.

208
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,119
Speaker 6: The Tigers are way out of it, but they're facing

209
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 6: the Yankees and they got to beat the Yankees to

210
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 6: help out Cleveland or somebody else. Right, So he's in

211
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 6: Yankee Stadium and it's cool because the day the game

212
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 6: is done, like it's a broadcast on Fox. It's like

213
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 6: Fox Sunday Baseball and it's Vin Sculling and Steve Lyons

214
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 6: beautiful and it's really really good because the character's name

215
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 6: is Billy Chappell.

216
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the name.

217
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 6: That of Kevin costems So and his catcher is do

218
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 6: you remember it's a it's John c Ryan, Yes, Johnson.

219
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 5: The manager is JK. Simmons.

220
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 3: That's right, dude.

221
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 6: And so what happens is before the game, the owner

222
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 6: tells him I've sold the team and you were my guy.

223
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 3: I've been with you forever.

224
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 6: And he and the owner have like a good relationship,

225
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 6: and the owner tells him and this this new team,

226
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 6: this new ownership group, they're gonna trade d to the Giants.

227
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,119
Speaker 6: Is what's gonna happen, ton paper. We're still in season,

228
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 6: but that's gonna happen when the offseason. I think the

229
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 6: Giants are gonna trade for you, and I won't have

230
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 6: anything I can I can do about it. And so

231
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 6: then he goes out and he pitches his final game.

232
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 6: But while he's pitching, you're getting flashbacks of his life

233
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 6: throughout his career in baseball, the injuries he's faced, this

234
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 6: relationship he has, and then are all kind of glues

235
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 6: together at the end. But the the best part about

236
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 6: that movie to me is that movie might have, in

237
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 6: my opinion, the best on screen like baseball, You know

238
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 6: what I mean, Like you know when you watch a

239
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 6: movie and you're like it's a football movie. You're like, man,

240
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 6: the football is the sport has to look realistic enough. Absolutely,

241
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 6: it is really good baseball in that that nov like

242
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 6: they do they buy, I'm buying like the other athletes

243
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 6: and the other players they get to play in the

244
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 6: game like they don't look foolish. No, And it's filmed right,

245
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 6: and Vin Scully's got some crazy lines because at the

246
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 6: end he basically the premise if you haven't seen it, sorry,

247
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 6: it's been like twenty years. He throws a perfect game

248
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 6: to end his career, and then he signs a baseball

249
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 6: and retires and he writes he tells him I'm retiring

250
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 6: and he writes on the ball for love of the game. Yeah,

251
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 6: he's only going to play for the Tigers. He threw

252
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 6: a perfect game. What else you have to do? Walk away?

253
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 5: I know there's like other movies that are like, you know,

254
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 5: kind of more celebrated with like Bull Durham, the other

255
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 5: Chemicost movies Filled the Dreams, but that one even like

256
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 5: the interactions between a pitcher and a catch and it's underrated.

257
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 6: Yeah I would. I'm totally with you that it's underrated, dude.

258
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 6: And then he has this Vin Scully's got a line

259
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 6: because Billy Chapel. Yeah, dude, he's the lines Vin Scully

260
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 6: as he's waxing, poetic.

261
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: The loneliest place in all of sports.

262
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 6: And I was more like Harry Howard Gossel, Yeah, a

263
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 6: little bit Mohammed Dale.

264
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 5: Can you believe Billy Chapel, But he that truly is

265
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 5: an active guy.

266
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 6: He goes that cathedral that has Yankee Stadium now belongs

267
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 6: to a Chapel.

268
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: I have a damn good line.

269
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 5: That's pretty good.

270
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 3: I don't know if he wrote it, but it's it's

271
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 3: a good line. Knowing him.

272
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 5: It probably came off the dome. So you're gonna go

273
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 5: for love of the game, Well, honestly, I want to.

274
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 5: I want to talk about this one too. We didn't

275
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 5: talk about this while you were gone. I watched the

276
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 5: movie Caught Stealing.

277
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 6: I mean, oh, that's all Netflix, I think right now,

278
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 6: the one with U highly recommend.

279
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 5: In the movie Honesty that man, the main character is

280
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 5: a Giants fanatic, like I think of you. Like Austin

281
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 5: Butler plays this this this picture that got into a

282
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 5: car accident, messed up his arm. He wanted to play

283
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 5: for the Giants. He goes to New York. He's working

284
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 5: at the Bartenders. This whole movie about him getting caughtup

285
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 5: in the rush of mafia and everything. But the story,

286
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 5: the story four stories nuts. But yeah, he's a Giants

287
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 5: fanatic and multiple times during the movie he's calling his

288
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 5: mom just being like mom, the the mobsters are after me.

289
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm gonna make it. Okay, I

290
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 5: love you too, all right, go Giants, and it's all settled.

291
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 5: It's all centered around nineteen ninety eight, where the Giants,

292
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 5: I guess we're in. They were trying to make the

293
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 5: postseason with the Cubs. It was like the last day

294
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 5: of the regular season. Obviously the Cubs made it with

295
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 5: Sammy Sosa hav and then Historic ninety eight. Yeah, so

296
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 5: that's when the movie takes place. But that character kind

297
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 5: of reminds me of You where he's obsessed with the

298
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 5: Giants twenty four seven.

299
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I'll check it out.

300
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 6: I like the I thought it's one of those movies

301
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 6: where I thought the premise looked okay, but then the

302
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 6: previews made it look weird, like it just the previews

303
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 6: I thought made it be like I really didn't know

304
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 6: if it was something I wanted to get into it

305
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 6: was I wasn't really crazy.

306
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 5: There's a whole thing about him him watching his his

307
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 5: neighbor's cat, and then yeah, there's people coming over and

308
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 5: asking for drug money and it gets convoluted. But there

309
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 5: is baseball involved.

310
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 6: It's got a little bit of what's that movie that

311
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 6: series of movies.

312
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: With Keanu Reeves John Wick. Yeah, it's got a little wicked.

313
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 3: It's a little it gets a little wicky wick with

314
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,440

325
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:51,400

Speaker 1: Nice.

332
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 6: I was like, it was a Tuesday night in Chicago

333
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 6: against the Pirates. Both the cubs of the Pirates stunk.

334
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 6: Nobody was there.

335
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was like the way Henry Rowan Gardner's.

336
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 6: Here, and he was like making references to the movie.

337
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 6: But I love the movies that I love the movie

338
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 6: sixty one. It's an HBO movie and it might be

339
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 6: my favorite. It's the Billy Crystal directing. Billy Crystal directed it,

340
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 6: Barry Pepper and Thomas Jane playing Mickey Mannle and Roger

341
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 6: Marris and Barry Pepper's awesome in itys Thomas Shane yep,

342
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 6: and you get You get the whole home run chase

343
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 6: of nineteen sixty one.

344
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 3: That's a really, really good one. I love that movie.

345
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 6: I love I love Bull Durham and I think when

346
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 6: I was a kid, part of the reason I loved

347
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 6: it was I remember reading the I read The Sporting

348
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 6: Green every single morning at breakfast, and I would I'd

349
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 6: flip to the back and I remember there was a

350
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 6: quote one time from our guy JT.

351
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 3: Snow.

352
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 6: They were asking players what their favorite baseball movies were,

353
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 6: were best and worst, And I think JT said Major

354
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 6: League might be the worst because it's nothing like Baseball's

355
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 6: said Durham might be the most realistic scope into the

356
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 6: minor leagues and now things, and I was like, Okay,

357
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 6: that's pretty cool and it's like it was done legitimately

358
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 6: and Crash Davis time.

359
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 5: I would say the Fans the most unrealistic movie when

360
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 5: it comes to base fans, so ridiculous.

361
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: Bobby trying the hair off his leg with that blade

362
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:09,840

Speaker 6: I a lot early on in his career about what

472
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 6: a pro he is in terms of he's a coaches

473
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 6: player that you asked him to do something and he'll

474
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 6: do it. You move rotations around and say going to

475
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 6: be a while before you get back in there and

476
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 6: you're not really going to play, and he's like, whenever

477
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 6: you need coach. I mean, he's that kind of guy. Everybody,

478
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 6: seemingly on the team. I mean, you read the quotes.

479
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 6: I was reading the article on the Chronicle about this,

480
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 6: just the quotes from the players after the game. Every

481
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 6: single person, Like Draymond didn't even want to speak after

482
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 6: the game because he was He just gave a quote

483
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 6: to somebody and just said, I'm just feeling for Mo

484
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 6: because they're all they all love this guy.

485
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 3: He's a beloved guy on the team. He works hard.

486
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: They said, you rehabed hard.

487
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 6: He came back yesterday from a ten game absence from

488
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 6: the wrist injury.

489
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 5: Is that what he had risk injury?

490
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 3: Comes back from the wrist.

491
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 6: And then just another gut punch in a game that

492
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 6: was really really cool to see them win down the stretch,

493
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 6: they were up, they give it away, and then they

494
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 6: put it away in overtime. And when they go to overtime,

495
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 6: this team, after being up and giving it away, I

496
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 6: did not think they were going to pull it out.

497
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 6: Raymond missing those free throws, the way he was going

498
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 6: down at the end, and Draymon missing those free throws,

499
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 6: I was like, this is not this is not going well.

500
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 6: So you feel for him, you feel for the team,

501
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 6: and you wonder, like you you asked this in our

502
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 6: rundown for today, like is this a all time bad

503
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 6: Warrior season? And I like my first thought was not, dude,

504
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 6: they won nineteen games and I was in sixth grade.

505
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 6: But as far as that back and I thought yes,

506
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 6: on the scope of a season where there was a

507
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 6: lot of hope, I would say hope was the driver,

508
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 6: but still expectation to be not the ten seed. I mean,

509
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 6: we talked about where they went last year when they

510
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 6: got Jimmy for the tend to nearly to four in

511
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 6: the final couple of games of the year un till

512
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 6: they lost the last two. It was at San Antonio

513
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 6: and LA. They lost to the Clippers the final game

514
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 6: of the season. Last year and they fell back down

515
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 6: and they were in the plane, but they had a

516
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 6: shot to climb up to get as high as like

517
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 6: four in the final couple of weeks once they got Jimmy,

518
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,239
Speaker 6: like this team, I think we'd expected them to have

519
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 6: more of that throughout the year, but even when they

520
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 6: had Jimmy, they weren't quite that as.

521
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 3: Good as they were a bit of a hot start.

522
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,159
Speaker 6: But it's been frustrating, I mean, from the inconsistencies, to

523
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 6: the massive injuries, especially to the big players like Steph

524
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 6: and Jimmy, to the Jonathan Kaminga drama. I mean, and

525
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 6: this has been a really really bad season, maybe the

526
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 6: worst in the Steph Curry era.

527
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 3: I think so because the and I.

528
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 6: Know people would say, well, what about the year they

529
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 6: ended up with with the number two pick, Well, that's

530
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 6: different because we knew that year would be different. We

531
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 6: knew Steph was we did know Steff was gonna be hurt.

532
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 6: But once Clay was out, Kati was gone. I remember

533
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 6: that summer after it did get hurt.

534
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 5: I remember after that summer or after surgery, after Klay

535
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 5: Thompson and Katie sustained those injuries. Steve Krur was honest

536
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 5: it said like we're gonna have a sabbatical this upcoming season,

537
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 5: and yeah, Steph Curry is gonna be there, but it

538
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 5: won't be the same. And sure enough, a couple of

539
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 5: weeks into the season, Steph Curry breaks his hand and

540
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 5: that results in a fifteen win season. But you knew

541
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 5: we were getting for the majority of that season. And

542
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 5: it kind of feels that way right now with Steph

543
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 5: coming back. It's not gonna be tomorrow night. He may

544
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 5: come back Friday, but what is stuff coming back for?

545
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 5: To make? You know, a run for the play in again?

546
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 5: Like you know, you're never gonna tell Steph Curry you

547
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 5: can't compete. And then again, you know the NBA p

548
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 5: A to Day is coming out against the Milwaukee Bucks

549
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 5: saying you gotta like Gianni's play here, so I'm gonna

550
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 5: be a whole thing. It could tension between the Warriors

551
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 5: and Steph there, but you heard from Kolena as we

552
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 5: came in with the with the sound there, he knew

553
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 5: right away was a torn up atteller tendon.

554
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: Yep.

555
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 5: And he is twenty three years old. Do you think

556
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 5: about significant knee injuries like Sean Livingston was a different

557
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 5: type of player before he had his knee injury and

558
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 5: became exactly and became a different player for the Warriors.

559
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say this is gonna impact Moses Moody,

560
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 5: but you think about those things and yeah, like as

561
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 5: far as the youth on this team, like we talked

562
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 5: about a couple weeks ago when when we wereacted to

563
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 5: the fan duel sound there's not really a foundational player

564
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 5: on this roster for the future. But if you're gonna

565
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 5: get a case for somebody, it is Moses Moody because

566
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 5: between the three of the guys that he's linked to,

567
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 5: John the Kaminga, Yes, he had a lot of promise

568
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 5: and talent, but he didn't want to do with Steve

569
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 5: Kerr asked of him and Brandon Pajemski. You know, he's

570
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 5: a hustle guy. You don't really know what the future

571
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 5: holds for him either, but Steve Kerr likes him a lot.

572
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 5: Moss's moody epitomizes everything that you wanted to play right

573
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 5: now where he he's he does what he's told. He's

574
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 5: not having these ridiculous comments saying like I'm the next

575
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 5: I want to be the next. Steph Curry I want

576
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 5: to the next show a Otani. So it just sucks

577
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 5: for the future because again, I don't know how big

578
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 5: Moses Moody was going to be for their success to

579
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 5: win another championship. But you do think about him. You

580
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 5: think about him for the remainder of this season, you

581
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 5: hear about you think about him for next season, and

582
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 5: they're playing come.

583
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 6: A reliable starter, yes, is what I would say, Like,

584
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 6: is he a cornerstone?

585
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 3: I don't know.

586
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 6: He was a reliable starter though. He's a guy you

587
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 6: could start and be comfortable with it. Yeah, at the

588
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 6: NBA level, and you know he's gonna give you consistent play.

589
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 6: He's not gonna play outside of himself. He's definitely a

590
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 6: team player on the floor. He's not a black hole.

591
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 6: And he's the guy who can pass and can rebound

592
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 6: you for twelve points a game or something this year before.

593
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 3: You going like that.

594
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 5: And they had a great performance earlier this year against

595
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 5: New Orleans. But then again, I will say he is

596
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 5: inconsistent at times when he's a younger Slayer, he's still

597
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 5: figuring things out. So when you think about the future

598
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 5: of what the Warriors are, I really don't know. It's

599
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 5: a huge question mark. And now with Moses Moody, that's

600
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,360
Speaker 5: a huge question mark for next year where probably he's

601
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 5: not going to play for the twenty twenty six twenty

602
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 5: twenty seven season. So I don't know. I know there's

603
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 5: a big offseason year and obviously you're planning things for

604
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 5: Steph Curry's last year under I got to believe he

605
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 5: plays more than that. But when you're coming up with

606
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 5: ideas like well will they sign Lebron James well well

607
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 5: and also to that, to.

608
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 3: That, that was my next comment was it's.

609
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 6: Also made like quality of package wise impact anything you might.

610
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 5: Be able to too.

611
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 6: I don't think he is like some cornerstone that they're

612
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 6: they're going, we have to do this and we're taking

613
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 6: him and his money. We want Moody, but his money

614
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 6: doesn't I mean it's not massive or anything like that.

615
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 6: So it's not that big.

616
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 5: No, he's under contract.

617
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 6: Are you saying there's he's a young player that you

618
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 6: might look at as a piece that you could take

619
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 6: and say, this is a guy we can start, Like

620
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 6: I said, so absolutely, all of a sudden, now that's

621
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 6: not a tradable piece either.

622
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 3: You've lost an asset.

623
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 5: So one d per so you know you're gonna be

624
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 5: desperate this offseason to try to make this team competitive,

625
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 5: and maybe that is going out and getting a forty

626
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 5: one year old Lebron James. I want to be down

627
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 5: with that. I think the Giannis move is a pipe dream.

628
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 5: I really don't know what they can do, but yes,

629
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 5: as far as trade options, it was Draymond, it was

630
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 5: Moses Moody, it was Brandon Pajemski, and now you have

631
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 5: one off the table with Moses Moody being out for

632
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 5: the reseeeable future. It just sucks. This is the season

633
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 5: from hell. I know they've had worse season. To believe me,

634
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 5: I grew up as a Warriors fan during the Chris

635
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 5: Cohan days, So look, you know this this sucks. It

636
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,160
Speaker 5: just you know, we've seen more seasons, but the fact

637
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 5: that this is the remaining years of Steph Curry's career,

638
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 5: it just sucks. With all the injuries and you're hoping

639
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 5: they could build off a season ago where they were,

640
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 5: you know, getting Jimmy Jimmy Butler and trying to be

641
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 5: something more than what they were prior to that move.

642
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,719
Speaker 6: It was a surprise to me too, But this segment

00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 5: High drive in the deep left field. Wait back there, goodbye.

691
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 4: It's a three run homer for Bryce Outridge to the

692
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 4: opposite field and that opens it up considerably, eight to

693
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 4: two Giants.

694
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 6: It was Bryce Eldrichs' opposite field three run bomb last night. Also,

695
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 6: Tyler Fitzgerald went yard and somebody else went yard too.

696
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 3: I'm blanking though, helped me out. Nobody.

697
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 6: Uh, Buehler can't say I watched Buehler. William Domins wit yard,

698
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 6: that's what. Yeah, that's right, will hit the end. It

699
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 6: was Willia Domas, Thanks Tim, William Dommins wit yard. Anyway,

700
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 6: three homers for the Giants last night. But that's the

701
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 6: second for Bryce eldridg in two days. He hit one

702
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 6: against the Giants on Sunday in their final Cactus League

703
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 6: Scottsdale scrimmage head to head with each other. Then the

704
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 6: Giants had him play yesterday, shoot it up for the team.

705
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 6: He will start the year in triple A hits a

706
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 6: three run homer to the opposite field. Giants went a

707
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 6: ten to two. That homer put Himp eight to two

708
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 6: at that point. Also good to see, uh see Drew

709
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 6: Gilbert out there running around scoring runs.

710
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 3: Have they made a mistake with him?

711
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 10: No?

712
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 6: This is exactly what they told us or what we've

713
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 6: heard that they want a need to see. Don't forget

714
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 6: he'd only he hit more homers the last two days

715
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 6: that he hit in all of spring training, exactly one

716
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 6: in spring now he still had struck out nineteen times

717
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 6: and fifty played appearances and forty eight bats or whatever

718
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 6: it was official at bats He himself said that he

719
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 6: didn't think he came in comfortable. Himself said he was

720
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 6: behind with his own getting up to speed and training

721
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 6: because he couldn't swing a bat for a lot of

722
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 6: the offseason after he had surgery.

723
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 3: So have they made a mistake No.

724
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 6: I Also, we haven't played a game yet, so like

725
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 6: there's no some mistake to be made. They want to

726
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 6: bring him up, as Susan Slester told us yesterday, when

727
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 6: he's hot. They want guys to earn their way to

728
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 6: the major leagues, not guys who are here by necessity

729
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 6: and sometimes that happens. Sometimes that's you gotta throw a

730
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 6: guy into a role. I said that to you if

731
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 6: I comped it to a niner, I said felt that

732
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 6: way about jyr Brown. I think he was thrust into

733
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 6: a role earlier than he should have been last season

734
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty four as a starter because of all

735
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 6: the injuries in the secondary up in stout this year,

736
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 6: was ready to go in that role, but he was

737
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 6: at a different level when he got here. So was

738
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 6: Malik Mustafa earned his way in last year a little bit,

739
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 6: but wasn't playing two years ago, I mean or twenty

740
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 6: twenty four, but wasn't playing every down and every snap

741
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 6: they needed Jyra Brown to And then he kind of

742
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 6: lost the gig and really wasn't playing a ton early

743
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 6: this year and then really by the end of the season,

744
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 6: I feel like could come on strong. Sometimes getting a

745
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 6: role before you're ready can stunt some of that development too,

746
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. It's not just baptism by fire,

747
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 6: it's are you ready to go now? He hit well

748
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 6: last year and we wanted to see him at the

749
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 6: end of the season, so they brought him up and

750
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 6: he got a taste and I think that's the way

751
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 6: to do it. I think that's because it's the way

752
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 6: Buster did it. Buster came up in September, didn't hit

753
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 6: well at all in September of nine, batting average in

754
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 6: the one hundreds or two hundred. He didn't have a

755
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 6: ton of it bats, but he wasn't playing a ton.

756
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 6: It was just getting a look at big league pitching.

757
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 6: Then you go back down. He started the year, hot,

758
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 6: comes up in May, and the rest is history. I'm

759
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 6: not saying that's where Eldridge is going, but I do

760
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 6: think that's a good philosophy to have with the top prospect.

761
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 6: You bring him up not just because he's a top prospect,

762
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 6: bring him up because you think he's ready. And he's

763
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 6: now tearing the cover off the ball, which means he's

764
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 6: comfortable in the box and he is ready to try

765
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 6: to translate that to the major league. So I don't

766
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 6: think it's a mistake. If he's hitting like this and

767
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 6: does a nine hundred OPS or an eight eighty OPS

768
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 6: in three weeks, he'll probably be here. Like That's the thing,

769
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 6: and Susan said that too. The second somebody goes down

770
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 6: and it doesn't really matter where he's their guy right,

771
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 6: because they can bring him up and maneuver around so

772
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 6: to get his bat in the lineup. So I just

773
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 6: think this is a case of getting him some more bats,

774
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 6: letting him get comfortable hitting at the middle of part

775
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 6: of the lineup. And he's driving the ball nice four

776
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 6: hundred and forty four feet a couple of days ago,

777
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 6: and then big opposite field power. He's one of these

778
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 6: guys where it doesn't really matter where he hits. I

779
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 6: don't think the ball's gonna fly.

780
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 5: It's not a mistake. He needs more reps and this

781
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 5: is where you don't have to rush this, like you know,

782
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago when you were gone, I said, like,

783
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 5: I would like to see Bryce soldiers in this in

784
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 5: the open day lineup. And really that was just for

785
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 5: my excitement because we've heard about this guy. It's been

786
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 5: built up so much and he has that ability to

787
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 5: go yard. But really, what's the rush here, and what's

788
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 5: wrong with him having Luis Matos or Incarnaciona out there

789
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 5: when they're at options. So I know that we're reactioneering

790
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 5: in sports, where all right, you sent him to uh,

791
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 5: you know, down down the miners look at him already

792
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 5: he's going yard and back to back games he looks great.

793
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, but we're not playing meaningful.

794
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 5: Baseball right now, and also.

795
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 6: Sometimes is not a good team exactly. I was more

796
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 6: concerned that he was hitting bombs off the Giants, you

797
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 6: know what I mean. I was like, damn, maybe this

798
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 6: is more about.

799
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 3: Our pitching than right.

800
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 6: But you know what, they optioned him and he hits

801
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 6: your pitching out him, Like damn, what's like that?

802
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 5: I kind of like that. A couple days later, you're

803
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 5: pissed off for greatness. So you're like, Okay, so you

804
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 5: guys don't think I'm good enough right now, that's fine,

805
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 5: and I need that attitude that you guys told me

806
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 5: I needed the box and you said, you know, we

807
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 5: talked about yesterday Copse where his his head wasn't really

808
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 5: focused on, you know, being the best baseball player.

809
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 3: He was coming back from that injury. And now I think.

810
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 5: It's also kind of the pressure has been taken off

811
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:47,959
Speaker 5: where he knows, Okay, I'm not going to be their

812
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 5: opening day, but I still.

813
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 6: Had to and I'm not feeling my absolute best and

814
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 6: he admitted to that. So that's tells me he's pretty

815
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 6: in tune with where he is in his own body,

816
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 6: in his own swing, where his comfort level is. And

817
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 6: he's confident, which means I mean he has had a

818
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 6: lot of confidence since he was drafted in the way

819
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 6: that he speaks to the media and about him himself,

820
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 6: and he's paid that off with performance. So I think

821
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 6: getting some of that confidence back brings that attitude back.

822
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 6: And here's the quot from last night, right after the

823
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 6: home run. After the game, he said, quote, that was cool.

824
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 6: I definitely embraced it. Running around the basis, I was

825
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 6: trying not to smile at all, trying to be cool,

826
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 6: but going around a third I couldn't stop myself from

827
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 6: smiling a little bit. That tells me he does have

828
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 6: some fu in there.

829
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 3: Oh tell me.

830
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 6: He's like, oh, okay, they sent me down. I just

831
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 6: hit one out of your big leau yard. But I

832
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 6: hit it out the other way in a way that

833
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 6: nobody and as a left tanded bat is doing and

834
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 6: has done in a Giant's uniform since bods, and you should.

835
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 5: Be motivated that way. And he knows that he'll be

836
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 5: called up eventually this season only a matter of time.

837
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 5: Just how the season starts. Again, this is a long

838
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 5: ass season. So eventually we will see Bryce Eltry called up,

839
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 5: and I think he will be an impact player for

840
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 5: this baseball team. But yes, just because we've seen him

841
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 5: last night and last night was really impressive going opo.

842
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 5: But the last two nights seeing him, you know, home

843
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 5: run doesn't mean he needs to be their opening day

844
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 5: So I know some fans last night we're like, what

845
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 5: are we doing here? Why is Brice Elverdge not on

846
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 5: the opening day roster? Because let's be real, during spring

847
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 5: training he wasn't doing this every single day and struck

848
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 5: out nineteen times did it?

849
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 6: But he is hitting for power, which is good, and

850
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 6: he's got the gap power. I think this guy wo's

851
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 6: gonna have a lot of doubles too. And hit a

852
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 6: home run, a double on in the game on Sunday,

853
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 6: two for three of the double and then yesterday the

854
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 6: three run homer. So in the last couple of days

855
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 6: he's been uh he's gone three for four with four ribs,

856
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 6: two homers in that double. So he's been really really

857
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 6: good at the plate in the last couple So let

858
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 6: him go down, let him get hot, and then bring

859
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 6: him up when you need him or when he when

860
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 6: he bends down the door and says, why are you

861
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 6: waiting for.

862
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 5: What I'm gonna I'm gona agreeing with you. Wh when

863
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 5: Susan said yesterday, it's gonna be when he's hot. It's

864
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 5: not gonna be based off the team struggling or they

865
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 5: need him to be the savior by any means.

866
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 6: It's not the best the best place for not a

867
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 6: young player, especially of his magnitude. Here's what Buster Posey

868
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 6: had to say. Uh, this is during the game yesterday,

869
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 6: what he said to Bryce Eldridge after telling him he

870
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 6: wasn't making the team.

871
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 3: He was Buster, Yeah, we talked.

872
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 7: I mean, he's uh, he's all the abilities there is

873
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 7: for me. As much as anything, it was it was positivity.

874
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 7: It's like the watching the progress he's made at first

875
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 7: base defensively just shows you a lot about the person

876
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 7: and his willingness to work. And you know, for him

877
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 7: it's still about getting reps, getting reps, getting reps. I

878
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 7: think this spring he got a little bit sideways when

879
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 7: he was trying to to feel for the ball. You

880
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 7: just feel for the ball and getting a little bit technical.

881
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 7: That was my message is you're six foot seven, you're

882
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 7: an intimidating presence and sometimes like, I'm all for the work,

883
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 7: the technical work in the cage, but I'm a big

884
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 7: believer when you step in the box, it's it's a

885
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 7: fight between you and the pitcher. And you know just

886
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 7: I think we saw it last night. He he got simple,

887
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 7: had a good conversation with Randy Winn before the game

888
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 7: about simply seeing the ball, and he scorched a couple

889
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 7: of balls last night. So he's really exciting to think

890
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 7: about for the future because there's just not many guys

891
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,439
Speaker 7: that hit the ball as hard as he does.

892
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 5: Man the Young Hoo crew in his midst he's informed

893
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 5: there to hear that during the.

894
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 3: Joke Joe Jordan nuts while Buster was talking elgrit.

895
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, that's pretty funny anyway, No, I mean he's

896
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 6: I hear everything. Somebody on the Golden State Lumber showroom

897
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 6: text line at two to nine says my buddy, and

898
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,279
Speaker 6: I bet the only reason Eldridge was sent back down

899
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 6: was because somebody else was out of options, and Eldridge

900
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 6: will be back in sixteen games. I think it's twofold.

901
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 6: I think he didn't show them. He didn't he didn't

902
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 6: claim the spot like it was his own. He didn't

903
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 6: put us on notice and alert this year to say, hey,

904
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 6: Bryce Eldridge has arrived. Instead, when he was optioned, he said, yeah,

905
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 6: I didn't feel great in the box. I'm not as

906
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 6: comfortable as I needed to be. So he knows that

907
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 6: it didn't go as well as it needed to. So

908
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 6: sixteen games, I think it's a little bit arbitrary. I

909
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 6: think they do want to get one last look at

910
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 6: Encarnassi own because once you turn away from him and

911
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 6: Monto's that's just it.

912
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 3: You've lost him.

913
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 6: So you may as well see what you have while

914
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 6: you're getting this kid ready. And he didn't totally beat

915
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 6: the door down and say it's my job. So had

916
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 6: he done that, had he hit four hundred or hit

917
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 6: six homers, or you know what I mean, had he

918
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 6: done that, he got enough of bats and not struck

919
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 6: out as much, and then maybe he would be here.

920
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 6: He probably would be here, but they gave him a

921
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 6: chance to earn it. Not quite yet, but I think

922
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 6: he'll be here. I think within the first month.

923
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 3: And a half.

924
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 6: I think usually sixteen games. I think within the first

925
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 6: six weeks. And I wouldn't shock me if it were

926
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 6: within a month.

927
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to be surprised, I said, you know,

928
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 5: probably May or June.

929
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 3: Who knows.

930
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 6: Then where he comes out he slumps to start there,

931
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 6: it happens, Paul's funky.

932
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 3: Ball's weird. So to say he'll be here? What it's about?

933
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 6: When does he get hot enough to let them know?

934
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 6: I figured it out and it's time for me to.

935
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 5: Be But that's the key, when he when he gets

936
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 5: called up. I want to be where he stays here.

937
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 5: It's not where it fluctuates like far hunted back in

938
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 5: the day, where you're up, you're down, you're up, you're down.

939
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 5: Once he's a giant, stay a giant.

940
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, itaway came to our four. One to five, eight, five, six,

941
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 6: two seven is the number to call and attacks. We

942
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 6: were talking favorite baseball movies earlier, kind of breaking them down. Uh,

943
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 6: nine to one six checks in and says Sugar is

944
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 6: an underrated baseball.

945
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 5: I've never heard that.

946
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 3: Fin Actually, Sugar is a good movie. But it's not

947
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 3: like so.

948
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 6: It's about It's about a kid in the Dominican Republic.

949
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 3: It's about. It's pretty. It's kind of intense, dude, it's

950
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 3: sort of sad.

951
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 6: It starts out with like a kid who wants to

952
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 6: be a pro baseball player in the US. But they

953
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 6: have these academies, right. I think he's in like the

954
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 6: Royals Academy in this movie. Yeah, and he's in the

955
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 6: Dominican and he's sitting in like they're basically just like

956
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 6: in a classroom and they're teaching Dominican kids how to

957
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 6: say baseball terminology. It's home, wrong, base hit, grand slam,

958
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 6: like they're all repeating the words on the on the board.

959
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 6: And then I think he ends up getting signed and

960
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 6: he's in like a low eight team. But then he

961
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 6: goes to America and he doesn't speak any English, doesn't

962
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 6: like any of the food. He's in some podunk town

963
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 6: in the middle of nowhere, and isn't he's struggling. Isn't

964
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 6: very good, And I think the movie just kind of

965
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 6: ends with him like working as a dishwasher. Oh my god,

966
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 6: like as a young dude, like is he just it's

967
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 6: so hard, no promise somebody to make the to make

968
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 6: that jump, and it just shows you a different side

969
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 6: of like the struggle on then it's not No, it's

970
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 6: not a it's not a fun movie, Like it's not

971
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 6: a I think I've seen it once or twice.

972
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 5: You have some hope in the end for the audience. Jesus,

973
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 5: it's a sad.

974
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 3: Film, dude. It's it's a film, you know what I mean,

975
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:39,440

1025
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 6: and Tim all week. I said Yankees and Giants opening

1026
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 6: Day on Netflix like God intended.

1027
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right exactly. I think the only thing wrong

1028
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: with that statement is Netflix, You're never getting into the.

1029
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 3: Game now, so they're in the in the baseball game.

1030
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 6: So when you look at this Giants team and I'm wondering,

1031
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 6: from your perspective, like trying to figure out what the

1032
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 6: identity of the team will be. We do that like

1033
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 6: with the Niners all the time. Like we know the

1034
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 6: Warriors identity is Steph Curry, but we're trying to figures

1035
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 6: it offense, defense, running, passing. When it comes to the

1036
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 6: Giants and this team that looks like they've got a

1037
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 6: lineup it may be able to compete, but the pitching

1038
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 6: that's sort of questionable. What are your thoughts on the

1039
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 6: identity of the team as we hit opening to.

1040
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting. I think that that they've had

1041
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: everyone's gone out and put together a pretty good spring,

1042
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: So there's a lot to be excited about, right And

1043
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, the hard and soul of Giants baseball for

1044
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: the longest time has always been solid pitching, starting and

1045
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: relief and good defense, right, not making those silly mistakes

1046
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: and giving away outs and ninety feet and free runs.

1047
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: And when teams have gone out and done that, they've

1048
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: been successful. Looking at the two that I was on

1049
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: that one and then twenty ten, the same way, you

1050
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: played good, solid, solid, fundamental baseball. This team looks like

1051
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: they have a lineup that if everyone stays healthy and

1052
00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: is producing on the same on the same wavelength, they

1053
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 1: could they could go out and make some noise, which

1054
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: is a lot of fun to see. And again I

1055
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: still think that, you know, the bullpen could be a

1056
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: little bit of a question. Marcus, guys kind of get

1057
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: their feet under them where they're going to all end up.

1058
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: You assume Ryan Walker and Eric Miller will be at

1059
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: the back end, and some guys are gonna have to

1060
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,799
Speaker 1: kind of need to step up and and fill some

1061
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: of those roles, which I think that they have, you know,

1062
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: you know that type of you know mentality that they're

1063
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: able to do that. And you know, I think it's

1064
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: going to be interesting. The first few series of the

1065
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 1: season will be will be telling. It's the kind of

1066
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: what kind of team that we're going to see out

1067
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: of the gate.

1068
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, Georg, let's let's get to the bullpen a little

1069
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 5: bit more, because I think that's the biggest question going

1070
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 5: into the season. Where was their strength the season ago?

1071
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 5: And I think we can assume as you just send,

1072
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 5: Ryan Walker will be the closer along with Eric Miller,

1073
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 5: and you gotta believe Ryan Burrook is going to be

1074
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 5: there and with with with them acquiring him the other day,

1075
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 5: but everything else seems up in the air at the moment.

1076
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 5: So what were your impressions of the bullpen as we

1077
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 5: go into the season.

1078
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: You know, there are some guys that did a really

1079
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: nice job. Obviously you have some you know guys coming

1080
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: back and you know, Spencer Bibvens, who I think has

1081
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: done a really nice job and being able to be

1082
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: that type of swing man guy. He can go eat

1083
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: two three innings for you, or he can go and

1084
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 1: pitch in the higher leverage situation. Uh, you know, JT.

1085
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: Brubaker is a guy that's going to be interesting. You

1086
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 1: have obviously Ryan Burrooki, who had a really nice spring

1087
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I've known Ryan for a long time.

1088
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: He's from the Chicago area around here, so he's a

1089
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: lefty that that has a newly emerged split finger fastball

1090
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: that's been really effective. So it's just going to be,

1091
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 1: you know what, how these guys come out of the

1092
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 1: gate the gates and just establish and grab their roles.

1093
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we've seen with Ryan Walker when he's

1094
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: on his game, he's as dominant as they come in

1095
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,879
Speaker 1: the big leagues. And Eric Miller, same thing. A guy

1096
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 1: he's thrown from a six to sixth release point. With

1097
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: that sinker and that changeup and that and that breaking

1098
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: ball that he has, you could you have the ability

1099
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: to be very devastating in those you know, seventh, eighth,

1100
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: ninth innings, and it's just kind of about getting the

1101
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: ball to those guys. But I think I think everyone

1102
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: will step up and hopefully do their job and the

1103
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: biggest thing for those bullpen guys is some of the

1104
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: ones who haven't been there or who are newer to

1105
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 1: the team and to the big League is just no

1106
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: free passes. Free passes at the end of a game

1107
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: or in the later innings of a game will kill you.

1108
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: And I think if you can avoid those and get

1109
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: ahead of hitters that everything will fall into place nicely.

1110
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 6: Nothing pisses off managers like bullpen does coming in and

1111
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 6: issue and walks right. Talking to George Conto's on the

1112
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 6: Yuma guest line, what was so I don't think it

1113
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 6: was unique, But what was so fun about the championship

1114
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 6: era with you guys was I think fans always kind

1115
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 6: of knew who was coming in at what point, Like

1116
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 6: you had an idea based on the situation where Buach

1117
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 6: was going to go with a guy at a certain role.

1118
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 3: And I think roles are really important because.

1119
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 6: I think guys get comfortable in them in the bullpen,

1120
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 6: but things shuffle and change. How long does it take

1121
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 6: because it seems like we're almost starting from scratch. I mean,

1122
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 6: Walker is going to be the closer, but we're starting

1123
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 6: from scratch sort of with figuring out bullpen rolls. How

1124
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 6: long does that take to develop you think? I mean,

1125
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 6: it's obviously about performance, and then is it really important

1126
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 6: to stay fluid and not get rigid into that role?

1127
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: You know, it's really interesting. I think, first and foremost,

1128
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 1: as a guy who I mean, all of my almost

1129
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: four hundred games in the Big Leagues were out of

1130
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: the bullpen, so the majority of those games I had

1131
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 1: a really good understanding of what my roll or situation

1132
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 1: was going to be. And that was just kudos to

1133
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, for the most part, Boach, because I made

1134
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: three hundred appearances as a Giant, and you know, when

1135
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 1: he puts you in a position to understand when the

1136
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: phone rings it's going to be your name, it allows

1137
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: you to be a lot more comfortable and confident when

1138
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: that phone rings, as opposed to the adrenaline goes through

1139
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 1: the roof and you have four guys potentially looking at

1140
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: themselves being like, is it gonna be me? Is it

1141
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: going to be you? It's like that Spider Man meme

1142
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: where everyone's posts poting their fingers at each other. But

1143
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: I think that, look, this is the big Leagues and

1144
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: you're also dealing with the guy in Tony Vipello who

1145
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,919
Speaker 1: hasn't managed at this level before, and I think he's

1146
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: going to do just fine. But it also takes a

1147
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: little bit of getting to know your guys, getting to

1148
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: know how everybody responds in certain situations, because that's just,

1149
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: in my opinion, that's the manager's main job is to

1150
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: understand your players and putting them into positions where they're

1151
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: going to be most successful, knowing what makes them tick,

1152
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: knowing what'sircumstances and situations they can handle and have a

1153
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: lot of success in. And I think early on in

1154
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: the season it's kind of going to be a feeling

1155
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: out process because you know, he's gotten his feet wet

1156
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: in spring training obviously, and you know, how you manage

1157
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: your major league bullpen is one of the most important

1158
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: things to having success is navigating how you you know,

1159
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: go through the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth innings when you're

1160
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: winning a ballgame. And he's a really bright guy. I

1161
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: think he's going to pull the right strings. And he's

1162
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: obviously got Boach and Dusty and a lot of people

1163
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: behind him, Buster who caught all those games for all

1164
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: those teams. So I think it's going to be just fine.

1165
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: And we'll see if things start to settle in over

1166
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:38,720
Speaker 1: the course of the first month of the season.

1167
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,760
Speaker 5: Talking George Kantos on the UMA guest line, the starting

1168
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 5: rotation is going to look different as well, with the

1169
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 5: additions of Tyler Molly and Adrian hauserd What have you

1170
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 5: seen for both of them this spring, George.

1171
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: Well, the stuff out of Hauser was great when I

1172
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: saw him pitch against Team USA and he you know,

1173
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,359
Speaker 1: the stuff trickled up nicely, and obviously Molly had had

1174
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: a really nice spring, so you know, you got you.

1175
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 1: You have the standard, uh Logan Web and Robbie Ray,

1176
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: and I think that again, if if you can stay healthy,

1177
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 1: if that rotation can stay healthy and go out there

1178
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: and do what it's supposed to, it could be a

1179
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: very very solid rotation. I mean, you know exactly what

1180
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,479
Speaker 1: you're going to get out of Logan Web. He's proved

1181
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: it for his entire career and he's kind of on

1182
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: cruise control and you hope that he continues to stay healthy.

1183
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: Robbie Ray obviously has put the Tommy John behind him

1184
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: and had a great season last year. You got Landing

1185
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: Roupe at the end, who I think is poised to

1186
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: make a really nice year for himself now that he's

1187
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: kind of got the uh, the strings and the rains

1188
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: kind of let let go a little bit from evolving

1189
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: into a true starter and adding that good change up

1190
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: that him and web You have worked on. And you know,

1191
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: I think the new guys coming in and have something

1192
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: to prove, right, you want to go to a new

1193
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: organization with new threat, with new threads on and make

1194
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: sure that you do everything you can and make a

1195
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: good impression. And there's no better way to you know,

1196
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: make friends in your new clubhouse than going out there

1197
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: and keeping up with the big with the big boys

1198
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: at the top of the rotation.

1199
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm confident in the lineup and what they've put together.

1200
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 3: The bottom of the lineup has to perform.

1201
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 6: I mean, there's a lot of strength outs there with

1202
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 6: Batter and we're looking for much more from Bailey, but

1203
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 6: I think he's put together some betteran Bats already. He

1204
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 6: looks different this spring than he did last season, and

1205
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 6: then at the end of the year last year he

1206
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 6: came on strong. He ate a much better late second half,

1207
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 6: did Patrick Bailey. I sort of view that as the

1208
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 6: strength of the team. If I were going to pick

1209
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 6: a weakness. I would maybe say the rotating I was

1210
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 6: not a weakness. Something that concerns me is the rotation,

1211
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 6: because you just named all those guys, but it is

1212
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 6: a lot of ifs.

1213
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, I mean, look, that's the one thing that

1214
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: we've seen, at least in our organization is and I

1215
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: saw it a lot more with boats just because I

1216
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: was watching every game obviously and in it. But the starters.

1217
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 1: The starters would come out of the gate. And what

1218
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: I loved about kind of those older, those older teams

1219
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: of a few years back, was the starters would come

1220
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: out of the game and in the first few months

1221
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 1: of the season, they would be going six to seven

1222
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 1: sometimes eight innings with Timmy and Bum and Kaner and Voguee.

1223
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 1: You know, all those guys would come out of spring

1224
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: training feeling great. And the one thing that I can

1225
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: say that's always going to be a benefit is barring.

1226
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,839
Speaker 1: You know, starters aren't going out there and not pitching well.

1227
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: But if you let those guys the first couple of

1228
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: months through the rotation through of the season, if you

1229
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: let them go that extra inning or that extra fifteen

1230
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: to seventeen pitches and save some of those bullpen innings

1231
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,280
Speaker 1: that's going to pay huge dividends for August in September

1232
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: and a potential playoff push. So I think that if

1233
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 1: these guys can just stay healthy first and foremost, that's

1234
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. Obviously, you know Birdie and bird Song.

1235
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: He's had a little bit of the health bug obviously,

1236
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: But if you can keep these guys healthy, the star rotation,

1237
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 1: there's no reason why it's not going to be another strength.

1238
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I want to ask you about bird Song. He

1239
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 5: had his struggles a season ago and they carried over

1240
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 5: to spring training. But now he'll be out the year

1241
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 5: with Tommy John. So he's still twenty four years old

1242
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 5: and his whole career ahead ahead of him. But what

1243
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 5: advice would you give to him at this at his

1244
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 5: at this point in his career, George.

1245
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: You know, he came on and his first four or

1246
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 1: five starts. I was just so impressed with his ability

1247
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 1: to handle some of the chaos and stress within each

1248
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: of his outings, because he had an inning or two

1249
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: where things could have really gotten sideways and he's on

1250
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: the mound, he was talking to himself, he made big pitches,

1251
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: he did a great job getting out of it, and

1252
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 1: then you just kind of saw him not maybe take

1253
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: that next step in being able to replicate that in

1254
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: his second year when the league sees you a little

1255
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,439
Speaker 1: bit more. You know, I think location was a little

1256
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: bit of an issue for him. We all know that

1257
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 1: the stuff is just very very good, with the fastball

1258
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:31,479
Speaker 1: and the two breaking balls, the slider and the curve

1259
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: and the change up. All that stuff is very very good.

1260
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing with him is kind of, I

1261
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: think the five inches in between the ears and knowing

1262
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,919
Speaker 1: that when you have to make a good pitch, either

1263
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: behind in the count or a putaway pitch, whatever that is,

1264
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: knowing that you just have to go out there and

1265
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,359
Speaker 1: execute it and you don't have to do too much

1266
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: jump to make it the nastiest pitch you've ever thrown.

1267
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: You just have to go out and execute it. And

1268
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: I think that once he gets the grasp of that,

1269
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 1: once he comes back from this elbow procedure and rehabs

1270
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 1: it all, there's saw a ton of high upside for him,

1271
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: and I think that he can really go and have

1272
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: a really nice career. You just got to kind of

1273
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: get out of your way a little bit sometimes and

1274
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:08,840
Speaker 1: just believe in the stuff.

1275
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,919
Speaker 6: That you have a few more minutes in with George

1276
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 6: Contest on the Yuma guest line. Interested in your thoughts

1277
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 6: on the ABS system, the challenge system coming into play

1278
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 6: and how would you have used it? Would Boach have

1279
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,399
Speaker 6: let you use it? Would you have given you free run?

1280
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: Probably not. I think everything's a strike. I mean I

1281
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: remember when when we would have we would when I

1282
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: was still playing. Obviously, the bullpens were on the sides

1283
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: of the field, so we were always in the uh.

1284
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 1: We were always in our little bullpen nook underneath the

1285
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: dugout there and we had a TV with a live

1286
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,720
Speaker 1: feed on it, and we would all have our little

1287
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 1: bullpen there and they would throw close pitches and I

1288
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 1: was one of the more vocal ones that would just

1289
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: start screaming if it was close. And I would start screaming,

1290
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 1: and then Boat would start yelling at the umpire and

1291
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 1: then somebody would come down like Lois and then he'd

1292
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: be like, was that a strike? And I'm like, it

1293
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: could have been. It should have been right there. But Brandon,

1294
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Crawford is one of the guys that he would

1295
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 1: always just he would he would give me such a

1296
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: hard time because he goes you think everything is a strike.

1297
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: I go, yeah, well it's close enough. You guys should protect. Yeah,

1298
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,239
Speaker 1: you know, now the now, the the eyes and the

1299
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,840
Speaker 1: strike zone has gotten so defined that you know, I

1300
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,919
Speaker 1: think what's going to end up happening is the strike

1301
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: zone over the last six seven years has gotten a

1302
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,759
Speaker 1: lot thinner and a lot taller. So what what you

1303
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,240
Speaker 1: saw with you know, Greg Maddox and guys like Roger Clemens,

1304
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: who would who would start pitches on the black and

1305
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: then start expanding off the plate. Those days are gone now.

1306
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just the strike zone is the strike zone.

1307
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:35,919
Speaker 1: You have to come in the zone a lot more

1308
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 1: with what is now defined as as something that can

1309
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: be overturned. So it kind of takes what Patrick Bailey

1310
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 1: is so so good at and framing and stealing strikes.

1311
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: It makes that a little bit less valuable unfortunately. But

1312
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,439
Speaker 1: to answer your initial question, Boats would have probably never

1313
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,840
Speaker 1: given me free reign to just start tapping on my

1314
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: head on the mound.

1315
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, when you have a guy back

1316
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 6: there like Buster or Patrick Bailey, like you just let

1317
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 6: let him handle you, let him be, especially for the bulletend,

1318
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. You gotta trust me exactly,

1319
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 6: trust those guys. I sort of think, and I know

1320
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 6: we're talking about, you know, him maybe taking some away

1321
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,720
Speaker 6: of his his strike stealing because there's so few challenges

1322
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 6: and I know, if you get it right, you get

1323
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 6: to keep it. You're not going to challenge everything. I

1324
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 6: still think he's going to get away with a lot

1325
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 6: more than other people will. And because he's such a

1326
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 6: smart player, because he's such I mean, may be the

1327
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 6: best catcher in all of baseball. I and Cal Rawley

1328
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 6: maybe at this point, I think this is going to

1329
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 6: be beneficial, even from his standpoint of losing some of

1330
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 6: that talent.

1331
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree with you. I would say you

1332
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: have to be a little bit tactical with when you're

1333
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: going to use those I mean, you're not going to

1334
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,280
Speaker 1: use things in the first inning or you know, stuff

1335
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: like that unless there's a big situation. But but yeah,

1336
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think that to your point. I mean,

1337
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: the guy's a Gold Glove winner, so he's obviously one

1338
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: of the best catchers in all of baseball, and his

1339
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: ability to catch and throw and frame and do those

1340
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: things is is just really irreplaceable. So the fact that

1341
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 1: he's back there. He's he is going to do such

1342
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: a good job as he has been of just reining

1343
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 1: in these pitchers. You know what he's got to do.

1344
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 1: He knows what he's got to save these guys, what

1345
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 1: signals to put down, where to, where to you know,

1346
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 1: set up behind home plate when guys are maybe not

1347
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: feeling it. So he knows what he's got to do

1348
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: to get the most out of his pitchers. And that

1349
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 1: is a very important skill for a catcher to have,

1350
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: and not all of them have it.

1351
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 5: Last one for you, George, me and Coach were talking

1352
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 5: about a last segment where we were talking about our

1353
00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 5: favorite baseball movies getting ready for the start of the season.

1354
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 5: Do you have one in particular that comes to mind

1355
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 5: when it comes to your favorite baseball movie?

1356
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 3: Oh?

1357
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: Man, I'm asked this question all the time, and I'm

1358
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 1: never really able to pinpoint just one movie. So I'll

1359
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,200
Speaker 1: give you three. Ye I'm gonna I'm gonna go ahead

1360
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: and say Major League, the Sam Lot, and for Love

1361
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 1: of the Game.

1362
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 5: There you go.

1363
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 6: Nice, Drek's Something for Love of the Game Day. I

1364
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 6: like that movie too. A lot of people on our

1365
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 6: text line didn't like it. I said, I think the

1366
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 6: baseball in that movie might be some of the best

1367
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 6: like on screen baseball in any film.

1368
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: Well, I want to say that Kevin Costler like played

1369
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: college baseball, which is why it looks kind of like

1370
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: he knew what he was doing on the mountain.

1371
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 3: Was his first baseball movie either, you know what I mean,

1372
00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 3: Like he's got three of them.

1373
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 6: George Kahn the voice you hear on the Yuma guests

1374
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 6: And when are you in town?

1375
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:03,280
Speaker 3: Man? When's your first series?

1376
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: My first series is the Dodgers in about three and

1377
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:09,200
Speaker 1: a half weeks.

1378
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 6: Three and a half weeks. Yeah, that third week of

1379
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 6: April Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I think they get the Dodgers. Yeah, well, George,

1380
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 6: I looking forward to opening Day. I always appreciate the time, man,

1381
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 6: And we'll see you in a couple of weeks.

1382
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 5: Thanks George.

1383
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: Sounds good, guys, Thanks for having me there.

1384
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 3: You go at the great George Contost.

1385
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, I know what he means about, like setting up

1386
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 6: outside or challenging early in the game. When I was

1387
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 6: when I caught, like even in high school, that was

1388
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,240
Speaker 6: stuff that catching teachers or catching coaches used to say,

1389
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 6: like as a catcher, you didn't want to try to

1390
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 6: paint a pitch or like steal a strike early in

1391
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 6: the game, like if it's barely on the corner, they'd

1392
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,680
Speaker 6: be like, throw it back. You don't need it that early,

1393
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 6: but late in the game if you do it, and

1394
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 6: if you catch it and throw it back immediately one

1395
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 6: that you think was close late in the game, if

1396
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 6: you pin one maybe in the same spot, the Empire

1397
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 6: might think differently about it, Like there is a manipulation

1398
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 6: going on with what I think versus what the umpire

1399
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 6: things versus what I show you and want you to think.

1400
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 5: That's so interesting to me. Where yes, like.

1401
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 6: There were things that like you would things that you

1402
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 6: would do in the first that you wouldn't do early

1403
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 6: in the game, that you would do late where you're like, oh,

1404
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 6: I'm holding this one because even though he didn't give

1405
00:54:58,800 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 6: it to me earlier.

1406
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 3: Now I'm going to make it looked like I thought

1407
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 3: this was a strike.

1408
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1409
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 5: No, it's all a game of catchers in the umpires.

1410
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 5: So it's gonna be very interesting this year to see

1411
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 5: what happens with the ABS system.

1412
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,560
