The Northeast has been dreary for the last 17 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 4: I don't know, seven or eight decades, so let's get 18 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 4: out west and start the season. 19 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, Yeah, exciting that it's starting on the the 20 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 2: West coast. It is funny we're starting in March on 21 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: Netflix and Giants and Yankees. But this is the new 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 2: age of baseball. So just from from your view and 23 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: Giants Fancer desperate for a playoff Berth, how do you 24 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: view this Giants team entering the season under Tony Vatello, 25 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 2: the first time baseball's ever seen a college manager from 26 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: head coach to MLV manager. 27 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, I maybe I'm missing what some 28 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 4: people in the national media are seeing. I like the 29 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 4: Giants this year. I think the combination of Luisa Rise 30 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 4: and Harrison Vader as really good, kind of late ads, 31 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 4: below the radar at market value, We're great signings for 32 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 4: the team. Like the pitching. I was kind of disappointed 33 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 4: and surprised el Ridge didn't stick. That was surprising. You 34 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 4: guys are in it every day. Maybe you weren't as 35 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 4: surprised as I was. I know the swing and misses there, 36 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 4: and he's not apparently not a great base runner, which 37 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 4: is one of the weirder things I've heard attributed to 38 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 4: a guy not breaking camp with the team. But I 39 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 4: think the Giants are a good team. 40 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 2: Man. 41 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 4: Look, it's the Dodgers and everybody else in that division, 42 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 4: and you put the Giants and Diamondbacks and Padres count 43 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 4: him in the same bucket, and which one of those 44 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 4: is going to have the better head to head record, 45 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 4: which one of those is going to make a push 46 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 4: for the wildcard because you know one of them is 47 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 4: coming out of the NL East, And I think that's 48 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 4: your story for the division this year, and the Giants 49 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 4: should be right there among those teams buying for a 50 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 4: wildcard spot. 51 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 3: Yeah. 52 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 5: Man, I mean, you know Tony Vitello very well. You've 53 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 5: talked to him on MLB Network numerous times. So what 54 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 5: did you think about the unusual, intriguing higher the buster 55 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 5: pose you made, and do you think this could lead 56 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 5: to more managers coming from the college ranks. 57 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 4: I don't actually, I think that you know, there's there's 58 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 4: they're a one of ones. We all thought that Shoheo 59 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 4: Tani was going to open the door for everybody that 60 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 4: wanted to pitch and hit on the same roster spot. 61 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 4: And we thought that Jack Kaglione was going to be 62 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 4: that guy in Kansas City. There are other great college 63 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 4: two way guys and it hasn't happened yet. Look, I 64 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 4: could be wrong and Tony could win Manager of the 65 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 4: Year and have great success, and then everybody's eyes are 66 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 4: open at the college level. I just think he is. 67 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 4: He stood out as as such a perfect fit. I 68 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 4: don't know that you can assume that others are going 69 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 4: to follow in his footsteps. I like everybody else was 70 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 4: surprised when they went to college to bring in a 71 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 4: new manager. Bruce Bochi ain't walking through those doors anymore. 72 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 4: And you know that's another guy who's just so he's 73 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 4: so unique and such an individual you're never going to 74 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 4: recreate boach Uh. Buster was smart enough and is smart 75 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 4: enough to know that, and he has cast his lot 76 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 4: in a completely different Tony is a very transparent guy. 77 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 4: He's a very warm guy. I hope that being in 78 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 4: this chair with the pressures that come with it, don't 79 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 4: change that in him, because I think that's one of 80 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 4: his greatest attributes off the field, and I wish him 81 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 4: a ton of success. I know there are people out 82 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 4: there that are looking at this skeptically, older guys, maybe 83 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 4: guys that had manager experience, and they're like, you know, 84 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 4: I can't wait for this guy to fail. I hope 85 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 4: he has all kinds of success and kind of rewrites 86 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:29,799 Speaker 4: the book. 87 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 2: Talking at Mad Fasters and MLB Network on the UMA 88 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: guest line, he'll be on the call on Netflix on 89 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: Opening Day on Wednesday night for the Giants and the Yankees, 90 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 2: What did you make of the scope of Team USA 91 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: and the WBC? And then I don't know if you 92 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: saw Logan Webb's comments to the Santa s Mercury News 93 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: about how you know, he said, we may have cared 94 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 2: more than anybody did. 95 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 3: But the optics on Team USA, what about that? 96 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 4: You know? I have some real definitive thoughts about that. 97 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: I was disappointed in some of the comparisons that folks 98 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 4: made between the US and some of the livelier Latin rosters. 99 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 4: I don't think that's a fair comparison. And when you 100 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 4: look at Team Venezuela celebrating, you look at Team Dominican 101 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 4: Republics celebrating Puerto Rico Mexico, you can't compare the US 102 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 4: culture to those baseball cultures. It's a different animal. So 103 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 4: why haven't we kind of gotten non Team Japan for 104 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 4: being stoic and not celebratory because that's the way they play, 105 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 4: and that's okay. It didn't mean that the US guys 106 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 4: didn't enjoy themselves. It didn't mean that they didn't want 107 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 4: to win, And I just took exception to that line 108 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 4: of criticism. Look, you can criticize them for not winning it. 109 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 4: You can criticize their lineup for going completely ice cold 110 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 4: against Eduardo Rodriguez in company in that last game, But culturally, 111 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 4: I don't think you can criticize the way they went 112 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 4: about it. The group they together. If you speak to 113 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 4: those guys, and I think I think Logan intimated this 114 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,119 Speaker 4: in the Murk News. They loved the experience they had 115 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 4: with each other. They felt like they were in a 116 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 4: really special room. They tapped into that coaching staff. Kyle 117 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 4: Roley spent a couple of hours sitting with Brian McCann 118 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 4: before that final game, trying to go through things and 119 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 4: because he had been struggling at the plate and you 120 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 4: know the pressures of coming off this massive home run 121 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 4: year he had, and there's look nobody better than Brian 122 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 4: mccannon to get your head right too, is a seven 123 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 4: time All Star when last I looked, so, Look, the 124 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 4: criticisms run fair. Those guys had a great experience and 125 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 4: that's what we should all take away from it. How 126 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 4: did they respond and it was positive. 127 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 5: Talking to Matt vas Kerzhin on the Uma guest line, 128 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 5: he'll be on the call for Yankees and Giants on Netflix, 129 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 5: and Netflix is going all out for this broadcast. Matt, 130 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 5: they got you. They got a hundred pence Albert Poolhols, 131 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 5: CC Sabathia, Anthony rizz El Duncan, Lawrence Shahati, and of 132 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 5: course Barry Bonds, but also some interesting ones. Can you 133 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,559 Speaker 5: tell me any details and what Burt Kreischer and Jamis 134 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 5: Winston will be doing. 135 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 3: On the broadcast? 136 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 4: I was hoping you guys could tell me. I don't 137 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 4: know if I'm telling any company secrets here. I think 138 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 4: there may be a presence for Bert in McCovey Cove 139 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 4: and that's kind of all I know. I know that 140 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 4: the pregame show starts at four pm local times, so 141 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 4: it's an hour of the desk with Barry and company. 142 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 4: And the kudos to Netflix for landing Barry the Golden Goose, 143 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 4: because I mean, everybody has wanted him ever since he 144 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 4: retired to do broadcasting, and with the exception of just 145 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 4: coming up into the Giants booth to say hi to 146 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 4: the guys, he's never really wanted to do Fox, ESPN, 147 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: Turner or any of the other national broadcasters. So look, 148 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 4: when you helicopter in and you get something like Opening Day. 149 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 4: I understand that fans get a little anxious because some 150 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 4: might not know where to find it. Some fans take 151 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 4: exception to the fact that it's on a different streaming platform. 152 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 4: It's not Fruk and Kype, it's not John Miller, it's 153 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 4: not flem Like. Believe me it. Nobody loves that group 154 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 4: more than I do as a kid from the Bay Area, 155 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 4: and I'd probably want Cruk and Kype too. But you 156 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 4: got us, and we're going to service it the best 157 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 4: we can, both sides represented with Hunter and CC and 158 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 4: we might surprise you and maybe cecal dive more onund 159 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 4: on the Giants and don't know the Yankees. Who knows. 160 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 4: But it's going to be great coverage, and I'm really 161 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 4: quite flattered to be a part of it, to be honest. 162 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 2: Definitely, Matt Vesker's in the voice you hear on the 163 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 2: UMA guest line, all right. When you look around baseball 164 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 2: this year, and it doesn't have to be an Ale 165 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 2: team or i'd we could be Ale or n OL. 166 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: Who's got the best chance to knock off the Dodgers 167 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 2: either before the World Series or if it's an AL 168 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: team in the World Series. 169 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 4: Oh man, I feel like the National League's stronger. I 170 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 4: felt like that for the last couple of years. If 171 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 4: Zach Wheeler returns to form, and there's some ifs there, 172 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 4: if some nuts and you know that phrase, I think 173 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 4: the Phillies are strong. I think the Braves are going 174 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 4: to be markedly improved last year to this. And you know, 175 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 4: you could say the same thing about ifs with the 176 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 4: Yankees rotation, because if Garrett Cole comes back at full force, 177 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 4: and he's been pretty impressive according to all reports, a 178 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 4: little ahead of schedule in Yankee camp, if Carlos Rodon 179 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 4: is healthy again, the Yankee should be good. Toronto got 180 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 4: dealt a blow if he Savage's injury, that's no fun. 181 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 4: But I think my answer to that question will be 182 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 4: somewhere in the Philly Yankees two thousand and nine World 183 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 4: Series redo matchup. 184 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,559 Speaker 5: Okay, So, Matt, me and Anna we're talking about the 185 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 5: other day about how this Giant season could go, and 186 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 5: we were talking about maybe Rafael Devers needs to be 187 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 5: the most important player on the team this year. So 188 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 5: in your opinion, how much does this Giant success will 189 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 5: be predicated on the season of Rapie Old Devers? 190 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 4: I think that's a true statement. I would buy that. 191 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 4: I would subscribe to that. He didn't have a bad 192 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 4: year by anybody's standards last year, but they did not 193 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 4: get the big time impact Raffie Devers that had played 194 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 4: in Boston previously that they had envisioned when they traded 195 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 4: for him. If that's the guy they have from opening 196 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 4: day on, and there's no reason to believe that they won't, 197 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 4: because look, he should be settled by now. There's no 198 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 4: more of this. We need you to play different positions. 199 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 4: He knows what his role is, he knows what's expected 200 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 4: of him. He knows that that ballpark is not Fenway, 201 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 4: he knows the NL West is a little bit different 202 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 4: than the ALE East and the summer in particular. So 203 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 4: if he's good, yes, I think that's a true statement. 204 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 4: He has to be the best player on the team 205 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 4: because he's supposed to be. He's the best pure hitter 206 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 4: on the team, and I think there's a lot of 207 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 4: valid merit to that statement. 208 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 2: What do you think of when you look at the Padres, 209 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 2: Are they a team that you think is maybe in 210 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: position for a regression? 211 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 4: You could certainly make that case without Dylan Cease, with 212 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 4: a little different looking starting rotation. Michael king Back, that's helpful. 213 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 4: Bullpen's still good. Not all the same pieces, you know, 214 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,439 Speaker 4: I've had problems with really loving the bottom of their 215 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 4: lineup the last couple of years. Maybe they addressed that, 216 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 4: addressed that with Loreano with the deadline last year. 217 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 3: I don't know. 218 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 4: I think that the Padres are a great example of 219 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 4: maybe this group, we've seen the peak for this group. 220 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 4: That's why for a lot of people, maybe the Giants 221 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 4: are more intriguing, because maybe there's more upside that we 222 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 4: haven't seen yet. I'm not sure how much better the 223 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 4: Padres are going to be. They're good, They're going to 224 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 4: be in it until the end, along with the Diamondbacks 225 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 4: and Giants buying for a walk car spot, but they 226 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 4: could be in for some regression. Man he's not a 227 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 4: young guy anymore. I still don't know, from a different standpoint, 228 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 4: how that payroll is going to be sustained. There's so 229 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 4: much late money coming in, you know, eleven years for 230 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 4: Xander Bogart's at the age of thirty or thirty one. 231 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 4: They gave Darvish another deal, and not to mention that 232 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 4: for the Tattiss and Manny money. How do you make 233 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 4: that how do you make those books work? Does one 234 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 4: of those guys have to go? Like these are real 235 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 4: questions for that organization over the next couple of years. 236 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 4: They don't want to have this discourse publicly, but you know, 237 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 4: I think, you know, a regression maybe or maybe a 238 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 4: personnel change more appropriately for me. 239 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 5: A couple more minutes with Matt Vaskershon on the UMA 240 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 5: guest line, and Matt, you've never been shy about your 241 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 5: love of the Oakland A's, and I say Oakland A's, 242 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 5: so just curious about your thoughts about the organization today 243 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 5: now that they're no longer in your hometown. 244 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 4: I wish him well, not my team anymore. My story's 245 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 4: over there. And it's the same thing with the Raiders 246 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 4: when they left you, I mean the Raiders in particular, 247 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 4: you leave my hometown twice. Ye, I'm out, and that 248 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 4: that is that's a pretty rough product on the field, 249 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 4: and I don't know where it gets better. You know, 250 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 4: I love Markcotse. There are a lot of great people 251 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 4: involved with the A's. I want success for them for 252 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 4: those reasons. But you know, I have a right to 253 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 4: have a bad taste in my mouth about the way 254 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 4: it ended, because I didn't think it needed to end. 255 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 4: I thought the whole thing was orchestrated. And I'm not 256 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 4: sure they love us saying this on Sixth Avenue, where 257 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 4: the Major League Baseball headquarters are. But I you know, 258 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 4: it was a bummer. So my passion for the A's 259 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 4: it's like it's like the book is complete now. It's 260 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 4: my first memories of the A's up until that last 261 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 4: game against the Rangers. And that's that. 262 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 2: Matt Vescersion, the voice here, will be on the call 263 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 2: on Wednesday night on Netflix for the Giants and the 264 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 2: Yankees Opening Day. 265 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 3: Matt, appreciate the time.
