It's Friday, but we 15 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: interrupt your regularly scheduled programming with Pete and I doing 16 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: Factor Fluke Like, I guess that's what everybody loves on TikTok. 17 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: So now we're just like true or False with contenders. 18 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: But you know we're adding a new wrinkle to the 19 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 2: Just Baseball slash project, the plate frame, and I'm really 20 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 2: excited for this new wrinkle. You've heard arm Laden on 21 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: a lot of these podcasts, and this is just like 22 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: a ten minute taster of what's to come. Peter and 23 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: I will still be doing every Tuesday Friday, but with 24 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: Just Baseball set to launch in mid to late June, 25 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: we're really excited to launch a bunch of different aspects 26 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: of this podcast and also just different aspects of the 27 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: multimedia delivery of the new wave of baseball that we 28 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: can offer. So what we're going to do is kind 29 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: of piggyback off of our dialogue when you know, we 30 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: were talking consistently when we were at school, and you know, 31 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: contrary to popular belief, yes there are a lot of 32 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: broadcast centric Syracuse people, but not a lot of them 33 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: are baseball centric. So I think that we kind of 34 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: found our haven together talking about baseball in a way 35 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 2: that we didn't really get to talk about with. 36 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: Many other people. 37 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: So this is just kind of our opportunity once a 38 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: week it'll release on Sundays to dive into one or 39 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 2: two topics that became a parent during that week and 40 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: just kind of get our thoughts out there and put 41 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: together our rant in a cohesive manner. 42 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 43 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely, because I think there's something there like with baseball, 44 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: especially where I think we can talk about who's good 45 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 3: and who's not all the time. That stuff's a ton 46 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 3: of fun, and of course it's a blast, but I 47 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 3: also want to talk about like the deeper issues like 48 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,399 Speaker 3: we're talking about that we see just brought up all 49 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 3: the time of like the three true outcomes, or about 50 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: blackouts or whatever it may be. There's so many things 51 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 3: that go on in baseball. It's a very fluid situation 52 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 3: with a lot of unwritten rules, written rules, and a 53 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 3: lot of controversy. A lot of it I would say 54 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 3: it creates out of itself, but there is so much 55 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 3: to discuss within the sport. And I really like the 56 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 3: idea of being able to jump into some of the 57 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 3: things beyond what meets the eye in terms of just 58 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 3: you know, playing baseball, And I think that this could 59 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 3: be a lot of fun and there's a lot of topics. 60 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 3: I think baseball will always provide us plenty of content. 61 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: Right And the way that we kind of look at 62 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: baseball this is kind of a cliche term, but we 63 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: look at it in a sense of like we're playing 64 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: three D chess. There's so much more going on aside 65 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: from what happens on the field, and you know this 66 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: will release under the Project to Play podcast Umbrella ORM 67 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 2: and I will bring it to you every Sunday. But 68 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: you know, while we talk about the relievers that have 69 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: that great two pitch mix between Peter and I, and 70 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: Peter could also join us some weeks. But you know, 71 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: this is the type of show where we are going 72 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: to spend ten to fifteen minutes talking about service time manipulation. 73 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: And you know that's something that is brought up right 74 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 2: now with Jared Kelnick and Logan Gilbert making their big 75 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 2: league debut last night, you know, and we heard Kevin Mather, 76 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 2: I think his name was, the former team president or owner, 77 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: whatever his title was with the Mariners. 78 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 3: He just decided to. 79 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: Spew some garbage to a rotary club, which is stupid, 80 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 2: but you know, he was really talking about service time 81 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 2: manipulation with Jared Kellnick, and you know that that's what 82 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: robbed Chris Bryant of an unrestricted free agent deal after 83 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty season. There's a lot to talk about 84 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 2: in that sense, and there's a lot of issues that 85 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 2: aren't really uncovered to the depth that they should be 86 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: uncovered too. 87 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know why I'm really excited about it is. 88 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 3: I think it's it's also an outlet for us selfishly, 89 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 3: but also I think it's a lot of the topics 90 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: that people want to hear some perspective on, some discussion on, 91 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 3: but generally it's just not going to be talked about 92 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 3: as much. And it's funny because I feel like that 93 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 3: that Kevin Mather situation was almost the start of us 94 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 3: kind of starting to spit all this idea because I 95 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 3: was like, oh my gosh, there's so many things I 96 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 3: want to unpack on this, and you know, like, I 97 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 3: feel like when you and I get together, we just 98 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 3: start unpacking things crazy with different perspectives and like just 99 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 3: really looking into the issue. And I think that's kind 100 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 3: of what we'll be able to do here. The service 101 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 3: time manipulation thing is crazy. But also I do feel 102 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 3: like in general in the world and also in baseball, 103 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 3: we point out a lot of the issues, but we 104 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 3: don't always offer solutions. And I'm not saying that you 105 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 3: and I can fix baseball. We're not qualified to do that. 106 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 3: But what we can do is kind of float some 107 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 3: different perspectives of to what some solutions could be and 108 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 3: presenting all these different kinds of ideas is to how 109 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 3: we can fix some of these problems. And I think 110 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 3: that's a more interesting aspects of it too, because I 111 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: feel like too often we're just saying, oh, batting averages 112 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 3: are down, strikeout rates are up. Okay, but you know, 113 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 3: what are we going to do about it? Moving the 114 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: mound back is a little extreme, right, Like, let's have 115 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 3: a real discussion here, And that's what I'm excited to 116 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 3: be able to do also. 117 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 2: Right And nobody ever says, go on, you know, and 118 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: we'll give you a little taste right now with you know, 119 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 2: five to ten minutes, just about one of the hottest 120 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: button topics in baseball right now. And you know, just 121 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 2: to dive right in the problem that everybody is pointing 122 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: to is, ah, these games are just too damn long. 123 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 2: You know, something needs to happen. Are you going to 124 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: deaden the baseball? Are like the whole idea of too 125 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 2: many strikeouts and then too many home runs? 126 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 3: You can't deaden the baseball. 127 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: You can't lower the scene because like, what's this going 128 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: to do? What's the manipulation of the baseball going to do? 129 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: And the games being too long? You know, everybody says 130 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: these games are too long. Go on. 131 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: Nobody ever does. 132 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 2: So then they just bitch and moan about how long 133 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 2: they are and nobody offers an alternate solution. So you know, 134 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: I'm not necessarily here to offer that solution. I'm here 135 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: to go on and add to why they're so long 136 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: and how it might not be baseball's fault. And that's 137 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 2: what we're gonna do on this pot. 138 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 3: And you know they've done. There's certain moves, and there's 139 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 3: only so much you can do to speed up the game, 140 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 3: right Like, at the end of the day, it's baseball, 141 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 3: and baseball is baseball. There's certain rules I like, like 142 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 3: being able to uh or not being able to go 143 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 3: one batter in a relief appearance. I think that's a 144 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 3: good rule. 145 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: Now. 146 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 3: I kind of like the strategy that goes into that too, 147 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 3: because now you've got to decide do you put them 148 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 3: in to finish out the inning? Is he gonna come up? 149 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 3: You know, like what are you gonna do to to 150 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 3: manage that? I like that, but like when it comes 151 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 3: to just all of these little, you know, mundane like 152 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 3: just not really going to move the needle type of 153 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 3: things like pitchclock or whatever it may be, that doesn't 154 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 3: even actually get enforced, like, what are we gonna do 155 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 3: shave off a minute or two? You know, you have 156 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 3: one more mound visit, and all of those rules that 157 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 3: you put in to shorten the game are basically done. 158 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 3: You have an extra review and all of those rules 159 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 3: you had to shorten the game don't do anything and 160 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 3: all in replay. I'll be something we'll definitely talk about 161 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 3: down the line, No doubt we'll be talking about replay. 162 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 3: But yeah, I think one hundred percent. And I know 163 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 3: you have something teed up for that with with you 164 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 3: know how it's affected by things outside of baseball, but 165 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 3: to kind of set you up for it. Something that 166 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 3: stood out to me. And I don't think it's a 167 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 3: baseball specific issue because I went to the Miami Hurricanes 168 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: Florida State football game. It was on ESPN, it was 169 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 3: it was, you know, big primetime game, and so I'm 170 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 3: at that game with my mom. It is taking forever. 171 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 3: But nothing bothered me more than when they are ready, 172 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 3: everybody's back on the field ready after a timeout to start, 173 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 3: and there's a clock counting down. Some guy on the 174 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 3: field with like instead of the chains, it's just a 175 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 3: clock and it's counting down and he's legitimately got his 176 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 3: hand on the core saying you can't snap the ball 177 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 3: until this clock hits zero. So they're all ready to play. 178 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 3: It's not about the players, it's about TV, which I 179 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 3: get that's where the money comes from, and nobody's debating that. 180 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 3: But if we're literally holding the field of play from 181 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 3: resuming like that is insane and that's not a baseball 182 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 3: specific issue. And honestly, that game, I know, I'm a 183 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 3: baseball guy, but that football game, I'm a Canes fan. 184 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 3: They blew them out. That was the most boring and 185 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 3: stretched out football game I've ever been to. Is worse 186 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 3: than most baseball games I've watched. That are really slow. 187 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 2: Pace of play across every single sport is going way 188 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 2: down and the time of game is shooting way up 189 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 2: because of the American television model. 190 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 3: And you mentioned it right there. 191 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 2: You know, in television, you call that the red hat, 192 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: and it's always that guy that's wearing a red hat 193 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: that's got that like spear with the with the flashing 194 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 2: led timer on it, and once that gets down to zero, yeah, 195 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 2: then you can snap the ball. Every sporting event pretty 196 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 2: much has a red hat where you've got everybody on 197 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: the floor in a basketball game, and you still have 198 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: to wait for a minute, right, So, after the time out, 199 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 2: after everybody disperses, after the officials, you know, blow the 200 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 2: second whistle, get everybody out on the floor, you still 201 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 2: might be standing there for a minute. And baseball is 202 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 2: no different in that regard. I was listening to Jesse Agler, 203 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 2: who's the radio voice of the San Diego Padres, yesterday 204 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: and they had a doubleheader with the Colorado Rockies in Denver, 205 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 2: and Jesse Agler said, you know, of course Ernie Banks. 206 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 2: Mister let's play too, mister cubb Yes, So Jesse looked 207 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: up the game times of the first double header that 208 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 2: Ernie Banks ever played. I want you to guess the 209 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 2: shorter game time, Like, how long was the shorter of 210 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: the two games? 211 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 3: I'm guessing just because it has to be impressive. Did 212 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 3: they go under two hours? Our fifty? Yeah? Fifty? But 213 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 3: when a game, well play three? 214 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, when one game is double that on a typical night, 215 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 2: when it's you know, eight six, like whenever you get 216 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: a game with the over total hitting like eight or above, 217 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 2: we're pushing four hours now. And that just has to 218 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 2: do with the American television model. And you see that 219 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 2: with basketball taking the full time out. You see that 220 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: with football. I mean you have to step aside for 221 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 2: two and a half minutes worth of gellett ads every 222 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 2: like series. It's so stupid. There's not a way to 223 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 2: fix it because we oversell the hell out of live 224 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 2: game coverage because that's what makes a ton of money. 225 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 2: That's really the only live television that anybody is watching anymore. 226 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, And that's the thing. And when we go on, 227 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 3: you know and watch MLBtv, you can flip around. I'm 228 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 3: not sitting through a commercial. I'll just flip around to 229 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 3: another game. And that's why I think a lot of 230 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 3: people aren't really watching national although the ratings are up 231 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 3: this year, and that's another thing we'll talk about, but 232 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 3: nationally televised games, you have to sit through that one 233 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 3: game for baseball, so like a lot of people don't 234 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 3: just sit down and watch that in entirety because they 235 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 3: can hop around a little bit if it's a good game. 236 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 3: I like it, but I'm not gonna just do that 237 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 3: all the time. So I think there's definitely that issue 238 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 3: with TV, and they're gonna keep making all of these 239 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 3: offsetting like little rules that aren't gonna do much. But 240 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: until you really do something about the programming and about 241 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 3: the way you approach it, there's no point in even 242 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 3: talking about it, honestly, like there's gonna be something to 243 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 3: do about it. There's no solution besides the people that 244 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 3: are lining the pockets of Major League Baseball. 245 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and some of it does fall on the pitchers, 246 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 2: you know, I like Mark Burley is extinct. Now get 247 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: the ball, get on the mountain, throw it, get it back, 248 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 2: get the ball thrown, Get on the mountain, throw it 249 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 2: like that. Those days are over. And when you see 250 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 2: somebody churning through, maybe you see it. Like Jacob Degram 251 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 2: works a lot quicker than other people because he's always succeeding. 252 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 2: But you know, when you miss three times in a row, 253 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 2: guys are gonna get it. They're gonna take off their hat, 254 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 2: They're gonna rub. 255 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 3: Up the ball. I was gonna you gotta sneak in 256 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 3: the pine tar, the pine tar grab. 257 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 2: A little bit too, the bullfrog sunscreen and Rosin comination. 258 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: You gotta get the Rosin on your forearm. You gotta 259 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: rub it around, and then you gotta rub the ball up. 260 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta. 261 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: Another topic which will be discussed. 262 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and like, you know, just my two second thought 263 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 2: on that, I'm for it, man, like if if hitters 264 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 2: can use pine tar on bats, just like like. 265 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no, no, oh god.
