1
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: All right, this is our first ever live show on

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: splash Hit Territory.

3
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: We're so excited.

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Susan and I are at the ballpark right now, the

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: Giants of Sauce eleven to three to the Rockies. There

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: are some good things that happened today, some bad things

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: that happened today. We want to see your comments. So

8
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: if you guys comment, we're gonna read your comments and

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: talk to you guys. So we're really excited to do

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: this and just roll with us. We really don't know

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: what we're doing, but we're gonna have fun with this.

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: From the ballpark, Scottsdale Stadium, Giants lose to the Rockies

13
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: eleven to three.

14
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: Look we've got a hello already. Look at that?

15
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: No way?

16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right?

17
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: This works.

18
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 3: It works against against Stall Odds, the elderly sportswriter.

19
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: Somehow.

20
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: We're in the booth.

21
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: Joe, Ritzo and I just did the game on the

22
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: audio cast, and now we're switching gears to our show,

23
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Splash Hit. So I guess Susan, let's just start with

24
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: the game. This is the first time I been here.

25
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: We're together now in Scottsdale. We get to talk about

26
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: an actual baseball game. We're not making up topics in

27
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: the off season because nothing's going on. We're actually going

28
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: to talk about it. So I think the biggest story

29
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: today was Hayden bird Song.

30
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: You want to start, Yeah, I mean this is what

31
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 3: we've seen from Hayden Birdsong, including last year when things

32
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 3: kind of started to go south. He just doesn't look right,

33
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: you know, the strike throwing, you know, like one walk today,

34
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: but he's not. It's not you know that. Sometimes I

35
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: hate the phrase quality strikes because it's a little bit

36
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,639
Speaker 3: meaningless in this case. You know, he's just not putting

37
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: the ball exactly where he wants at that pret precise control.

38
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: And we asked Tony Vaytello. Uh well, I asked Tony

39
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 3: Byttel after the game, what are you seeing going on

40
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: with him? And he said, it's almost the same thing.

41
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: The body language isn't quite what they're looking for. Likes,

42
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: he's like, he can throw better than this. We know this.

43
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: He even said, we've been talking about the good stuff

44
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: sort of ad nauseum, but the other things that he's

45
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: seen is just it's just not quite there. I think

46
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: they feel pretty optimistic about it. Well, we haven't seen

47
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: signs of the last April May Haidenbird Sun for a while.

48
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: Now, well, he's a big piece of this puzzle. Whether

49
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: he's a reliever, whether he's a starter.

50
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're going to do with him,

51
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: but ideally I'm sure, and I don't want to speak

52
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: for the organization, but I'm sure that they want him

53
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: to get off to a fast start to build that

54
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 1: confidence that maybe was a little bit wobbly toward the

55
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: end of last year before he got sent down to

56
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: Triple A. So I mean, there's a lot of spring

57
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: training left. Is the positive take on this, So hopefully

58
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: you can figure it out. But I'm with you, you know,

59
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: watching the game, I commentated on the air today that

60
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: the body language wasn't great, the command wasn't great, the

61
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: crispness and maybe we're being a little too harsh early

62
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: in camp is something fine later. But the slider looked

63
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: a little bit flat to me at times. The off

64
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: speed looked a little bit flat. But he's got a

65
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: lot of time to correct this.

66
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: I would I said this on the air, I'd be worried.

67
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: If this was a couple of weeks from now. I

68
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: mean three weeks from now. They're getting ready to break camp.

69
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: You got to make a decision. But he's made it

70
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: tougher on himself. Where if you come out like Gangbusters

71
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: and your padel was strike zone and you're aggressive in

72
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: your body language, is this versus this?

73
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: A couple times to day, he lost his balance after

74
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: a pitch where he fell off the mound. Not his

75
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: best start.

76
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: But I'm not panicking yet, but I think there's cause

77
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: for a little bit of concern.

78
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they always say in February, you really

79
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 3: don't freak out. Don't freak out. It's still so early,

80
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: Like you know, most guys have won maybe two appearances.

81
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 3: They're working on things. But when it's somebody like birds

82
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: Song and you know he was so good and we

83
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: see that, we know the talent. That's the thing is

84
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: the talent's so undeniable. I've spoken to pictures around the

85
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: league who have been like, who is that? Like he's

86
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: that kind of like make you sit up and notice

87
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 3: kind of guy when he's on the other side. So

88
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 3: he's a special talent. It's in there. That's what's kind

89
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: of Maddy like what happened. And I know we talked

90
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: about the the yip word. We don't like to say,

91
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: but I don't think he has it, but something's just

92
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 3: not quite right. And I hope that the new coaching

93
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: staff and Birdsong get on the same page really quickly.

94
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 3: Like you know, at times he has not wanted to

95
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: change the pitch mixes. You know, there was the thing

96
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 3: last year where he suddenly went to a full wind up,

97
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: having not been a guy who had a wind up

98
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: at all before, but he was out of the bullpen

99
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 3: to start to see this, Like, that's some of that stuff.

100
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: Just everybody get on the same page with what he's

101
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: doing and get them right.

102
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: Well, those are good points.

103
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: I think we talked about confidence a lot, and at

104
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: this level, confidence is key, right. We talked to a

105
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: couple of episodes ago about how I can see if

106
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: a picture is doubting himself just by his body language.

107
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: That's why you have to fake it even if you're

108
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: not confident. But like, what is confidence and how do

109
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: you get confidence? It's from little successes, little accomplishments, and

110
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: they build and they build and build, and to be

111
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: like I got this. It's not something we could flip

112
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: a switch and be like, guess what, I'm confident now

113
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: here I come. You have to do well first, and

114
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: it's preparation always gave me confidence.

115
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: If I was preparing over preparing, then you taking the game.

116
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 1: It works in the game, and then you have success

117
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: in the game, and all of a sudden, you start

118
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: to stand a little bigger in the batter's box.

119
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: You feel good about yourself.

120
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: And then when the swagger's off the charts, like we've

121
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: seen him before, we've talked about that where he was

122
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: just kind of digging himself on the mound, walking around

123
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: after a strikeout, talking to himself, saying that pitch was nasty.

124
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: That's in there still, and I know the organization knows

125
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: it's in there. But he's a big key to this

126
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: whole thing. Whether he's a starter, whether he's a reliever.

127
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: Maybe you figure that out which one we're just gonna

128
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: stick with, because if he keeps doing both, that could

129
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: be hard. But I never pitched, so I don't know.

130
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't think it's the end of the world.

131
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: But he's had two little rough outings here to start

132
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: spring training. And like I said, when I asked Tony

133
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Vaitello at one of our meet and greets at the ballpark,

134
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: who's the person you're most anxious to manage.

135
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 2: Somebody asks him that and he said, Hayden bird song.

136
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 3: It's really interesting. So, yeah, he is a I mean,

137
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 3: he is a big, big potential piece for a team

138
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 3: that has some pitching question marks. But Blay Timwell was

139
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 3: out there. He's another guy who's kind of in that

140
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 3: maybe he could start if they wind up having to

141
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: need in the rotation. He definitely could be a guy

142
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 3: in the bullpen, and he's talked about a guy might

143
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: profile maybe even more as a reliever in the big leagues.

144
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 3: What did you think of Blade Tidwell today? I lost

145
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: a great name, best name, my favorite.

146
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the name itself sounds like a country musician. It's

147
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: one of a bunch of Grammy Awards, or maybe.

148
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: An Iceike of course, Yeah, like a dude in hockey.

149
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: He looked the bart. Yeah, I read the media guy

150
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: and said two oh seven. But he's thicker than that.

151
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: They get the tree trucks down low, and he's broad shouldered.

152
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: I would say he's about two thirty two forty maybe

153
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: maybe that was his freshman year in college. When he's

154
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: two o seven, it's hard to I'm not going to

155
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: sit here and judge a guy off a one start.

156
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: I thought that the mound presence was good. I think

157
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: he gave up a home run and a couple of

158
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: runs in two innings. Award walked a batter or two,

159
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: but the sweepers is pitch and that's his go to

160
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: and I saw some.

161
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: The good ones today.

162
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: It's hard to see when you're doing have a monitor

163
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 1: in the booth and you're not watching on TV from

164
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: the center field camera, so it was kind of like

165
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: old school up here today. We did have the exit

166
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: velocities and in the distance on all the home runs

167
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: that were hit, the ball was flying the right field today.

168
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: It a h looking at Chara Lodge right now as

169
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: we speak, But if you hit a fly ball to right,

170
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: it was cours Field today. So maybe that's what the

171
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: Rockies had going for him.

172
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

173
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: I think Tony talked about him today and your guys

174
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: is a little presser about how when he came to

175
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee he was very mature. The work ethic between starts

176
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: was very professional, even at a young age. And then

177
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: it can be a little goofyer a little bit. When

178
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: he takes the mound. Nothing affects him. And I saw

179
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: the body language today from him, and I always look

180
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: for that.

181
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the older of me. He looked the part.

182
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: He looked like a big league pitcher today, So I'm

183
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: excited to see him pitch again.

184
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like this stuff. I think he could be

185
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: I think I'll help them at some point. I don't

186
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 3: know in which role, but I don't I don't hate

187
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: the idea of having him and that I think at

188
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: a one inning stint, that dude could be super nasty.

189
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 3: We have a question.

190
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: But before we get the questions, here's the thing, and

191
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: I want to say this to you guys. Every time

192
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: you take a mound in a big league game, every

193
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: time you get in that bat in a big league game,

194
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: whether it's in the eighth inning, the ninth inning, the

195
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: first inning, it doesn't matter. There's so many eyes on you.

196
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: The whole organization is here. We had the whole front

197
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: office sitting to our left, right here in the booth,

198
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: and they're all writing things down and taking notes. So

199
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: it's not a small thing. When you get a chance

200
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: to go out there and press how you make a

201
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: team in big league camp is you become a story

202
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, oh my gosh, that's another

203
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: good outing, and he struck out two today and his

204
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: fastballs at ninety eight or he got three hits today.

205
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: But the thing I remember most is how he went

206
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: first to third on that base, hit to right like

207
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: Beata read a ball the other day where he knew

208
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,599
Speaker 1: immediately was going to drop. So there's little things that

209
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: start to pile up, and that's how you make a team.

210
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: But if you start playing from behind and your sam

211
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: and switch swimming upstream, it's hard to make a big

212
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: league team. So even though it's early and there's no panic,

213
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: like we've seen these stories before, you've been doing this

214
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: for thirty years, the story becomes the guy starts to

215
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: mount good.

216
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 2: Games, good outings, and all of a.

217
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: Sudden you're talking about him, and then the media is

218
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: talking about him, and then the meetings more importantly with

219
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: the front office and the coaches are talking about him,

220
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: and so you know, long way to go.

221
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: Though, long way to go. Let's take some question.

222
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a there's already some good ones. I'm loving

223
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 3: this well first of all, but the first question we

224
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 3: have is, well, do you think Walker will end up

225
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 3: as closer? Will be more like closer by committee. That's

226
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 3: from JB. Coleman, Thanks for asking, JBH. I you know,

227
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 3: I think it will be Walker. It just makes the

228
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: most sense. He's the guy with the most experience. He's

229
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: declared openly he wants it, which I really like. But

230
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: Tony Raitello has said that he is okay with closer

231
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 3: closer by committee. Now he has not. I mean we've

232
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 3: been talking about this since the day he got the job.

233
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: He has not managed a big league bullpen, which is

234
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: really a different beast from a college bullpen, and typically

235
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 3: you go with a closer, So I don't know even

236
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: what a J. Hinchin never seems to name a closer

237
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: that's pretty good.

238
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: Team well, I mean, you can take the ball by

239
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: the horns and just start piling up some good audience.

240
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: But I still think the test for Ryan Walker, no

241
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: matter how well he does here in spring training, is

242
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: when he takes that mound for the first time in

243
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: a real regular season game. I gainst the New York

244
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: Yankees on opening Day, the only game on TV. The

245
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: lights go on, you jog in from the bullpen, and

246
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: is he the guy that he was in twenty twenty

247
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: four or does he have.

248
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: That confidence once again?

249
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: Confidence is so much at this level, believing in yourself,

250
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: knowing that you're better than the guy you're facing, in

251
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: like embracing the role, whatever your role is. If you're

252
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: a bench guy, embraced that role. If you're the three

253
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: hitter and you had thirty five home runs last year,

254
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: embrace that role. If you're the closer, I'm going to

255
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: be the best stamp closer I can possibly be on

256
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: this day, and you ain't getting a hit off me

257
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: or hating bird song, Like I'm standing on that mall mountain,

258
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm six foot five inches tall, I'm throwing downhill. Here's

259
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: my best bold like all of that separates good from great,

260
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: Like on the PGA Tour. What separates the great golfers

261
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday and being in those moments and being

262
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: able to handle the pressure and embrace the pressure and

263
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: make the firework for you.

264
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you always liked hearing when coaches or scouts call

265
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: somebody like the guy who wants to be the guy,

266
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: wants to be the guy who's in the moment. And

267
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: I've covered guys and you've played with guys who don't

268
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 3: necessarily want to be some great players even who are

269
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 3: kind of like you. Know, I'm kind of happy being

270
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 3: like the number two guy on this team, Like if

271
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,359
Speaker 3: that guy's kind of the big bat, I don't necessarily

272
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: am I bigger. If I'm in this situation, the biggest

273
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 3: situation in the game, I'm going to necessarily be the

274
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: guy you wanted up there.

275
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: I've covered those guys. I always wanted to be in

276
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: that situation rather being a thing. I didn't mean you no,

277
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: But even if I failed, I want to be in

278
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: that situation. And I probably failed at those situations more

279
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: than I succeeded. Should we take care of some business

280
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: real quick? This could be fun and then we'll get

281
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: back to your questions. I almost said, like eight away,

282
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: Camrired call in, but this is funding in life.

283
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 2: I rather do this.

284
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: Let's take care of some bissus.

285
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:08,319

00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: to see an elevated WBC this year, and hopefully Logan

313
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: Web does a great job.

314
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure he will all right, six more questions.

315
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 3: This is great, Well, you know what a couple of

316
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 3: people have asked, or the giants done making moves and

317
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 3: mentioned you know, chi Alito is still out there, Kopex

318
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: still out there.

319
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: Two.

320
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 3: I am terrible at these kind of guessing games. Every

321
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 3: time I declare they're absolutely done, like Buster says they're done,

322
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 3: which he has said, they immediately turn around and do something.

323
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 3: But so many times it depends on is somebody maybe

324
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 3: not performing the way they expected, maybe we should go

325
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 3: out and to look at up, or of course an injury.

326
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: So you never say never. But I do distinctly recall

327
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: this year that Farhunxiety signed Snell. They were they kept saying, no,

328
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 3: we're out, We're not in on that, We're not we

329
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 3: are out. Oh we just signed him, by the way,

330
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 3: So you never know.

331
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think it's a front office and

332
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 2: I've never done it.

333
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: You got to keep your cards close to your Why

334
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: would you say like, yeah, we're still in the market,

335
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: or yeah we're gonna we're you know, we're gonna sign

336
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: Blake Snow. That drives everything up. That drives it the

337
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: asking price up. If you're going to do a trade.

338
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, if I'm buster, I'm not telling you guys

339
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: an yeah, or I might I tell you the op

340
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: the opposite. Hey, why no, I don't want you guys

341
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: to know what I'm doing until I do it. But

342
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: I just raised my voice.

343
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: Until This is the most tenuous argument I think a

344
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 3: sportswriter can make. But but we are representing the people,

345
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: the fans like you, don't you would be lying then

346
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 3: to the fans.

347
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: I will lie to you.

348
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 3: I would one of the conduits to the banker.

349
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: So if it means to me getting better players for

350
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: the Giants, to make them a better team, I'm lying

351
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: to you.

352
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 2: All day until I get the job.

353
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 3: Well sure well, sure, like in a trade situation.

354
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: But dayline, I just said, well yeah.

355
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: And typically most front offices during free agency will say,

356
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: like our blanket policy as we do not talk about

357
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 3: free agentcy. Now, there's almost always somebody an organization who

358
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 3: will you know, is a little bit more willing than

359
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: others to talk about, well, you know, we might have

360
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 3: an interest in this kind of guy that kind of guy,

361
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 3: but that's often all you're going to get. I don't

362
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: think it's a mystery that the agents are the ones

363
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: who are often going like, hey, we're talking to this team,

364
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 3: we're talking to that team, or he didn't hear it

365
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: from me, but you know, hey, Like it's no fun

366
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: if the whole off season is just like nobody knows anything.

367
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 3: You guys check back when a deal is done.

368
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: I'm very biased in this because I've known Lucas Giolito

369
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: since the day he signed with the Washington Nationals. I'm

370
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: a big fan of the person and a big fan

371
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: of the picture. I'm friends with.

372
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: The whole family. You know, he grew up in Hollywood.

373
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: Lindsay Frost is his mother, who's a big time actress.

374
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: But more importantly than all the side stories and his family,

375
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: like he's got that short arm delivery, he's tall.

376
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: He went from this big, long armstroke.

377
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: Where he couldn't repeat his delivery to where he almost

378
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: was like a catcher. Now he had a lot of

379
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: success in Boston. I would love that move. It's not

380
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: my decision, obviously, we're just doing a podcast. But like

381
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of the person, big fan of

382
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: the player. I would love to see him in a

383
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: Giant's uniform. I think in that ballpark, with this ball

384
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: club and the way the ball doesn't carry for eighty

385
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: one games.

386
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 2: He just pitching a launching pad.

387
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: If and we park and had success, that would be

388
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: somebody that I think would look good in the orange black.

389
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I think either one of those guys would

390
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 3: be great. But I'm with you. I'm always like Cheetledo.

391
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: I mean, just you know, a few years ago, just

392
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 3: one of the elites in the American League.

393
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, I like that question. Right there? Can you see.

394
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: It is Bryce on the opening day.

395
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: Roster right now? Opening day roster? Yes, yes, yes, yes.

396
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 2: I talked to arm Washington today. I said, how's Bryce

397
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: doing it? First base?

398
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: And we Washington I caught up. He's the best man.

399
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: He just makes your day when you're in the five

400
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: feet of them. So we got to talk and I said,

401
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: how's Bryce doing it first? And he goes FP. He's

402
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: improving every day, he's putting in the work.

403
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 2: We're watching.

404
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: You made a nice play yesterday. So I think it's

405
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: more the reason I'm talking about the defense. I think

406
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: it's more about the defense. Even though he probably with

407
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: DH to start, I watched Rafi at first say he

408
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: looked fantastic, and I want to get into that A

409
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: little bit their infield today and spring training is the

410
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: most intense game speed infield I've ever seen taken in

411
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: spring training. Usually it's just like you get it, you

412
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: feather it to first, you get another one. We're taking

413
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, we're just getting loose out there. They were

414
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: Chapman's doing all of the plays you see on TV,

415
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: slow rollers, throwing it on the run, falling in the

416
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: dugout over here Adamis is firing the ball to home plate.

417
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: When they did doing plays at home and they're turning

418
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: double plays, it was like you were watching during the game.

419
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: So the intensity level is very, very high, and then

420
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: you don't have to turn it.

421
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: Up a notch an opening day happens.

422
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: But getting to the point about Bryce, like wash was

423
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: gushing about his progress at first base, So when I

424
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: heard that then he hit the home run? Did he

425
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: hit a home run a street something that I know

426
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: he longed? Yeah, he hit a home run yesterday in

427
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: the thirteen to twelve lost. I just want to make

428
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: sure that it didn't hit the wall because I saw

429
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: the highlight on Instagram.

430
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 2: Now I can see it for myself as I'm here,

431
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: But like.

432
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: That was an armburner. Yesterday I was thirteen eleven. Yeah, yeah,

433
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: well actually it was a terrible gad at the end.

434
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 3: But Bader hitter Vader hit that one that knocked a

435
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 3: big chunk into a food truck. It was awesome, and

436
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 3: then he went and signed it. That was hilarious.

437
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 2: One hundred and fourteen miles an hour.

438
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: I talked to Harrison today and he said I talked

439
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: to the people in the truck and they said it

440
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: almost knocked the truck over.

441
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, you got that kind of pop to knock

442
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 2: a food truck truck over with the home run. So

443
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 2: I got to meet him to say, what a wonderful

444
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: human being. Yeah, great, he's going to be a broadcaster

445
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 2: when he's done.

446
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 3: They were going to give him free food and he

447
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 3: was like too much. It was us a e Buls,

448
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 3: which I was like, I'll take her side. Yeah, but

449
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: he was like too much sugar.

450
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: Really?

451
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, his body's a temple.

452
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah sure, I'm like right to here in the

453
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: cloathhouse today, wog around.

454
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 3: He wears the same shirts even.

455
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 2: All right, let's do another question.

456
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 3: Well there's been one sitting here, but this cold Dunston's

457
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 3: asked a few good ones but who do you think

458
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 3: of the cool the er pictures is most likely to

459
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: break camp with the team. I don't know if anybody's

460
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 3: going to break camp with the team, but you're correct,

461
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 3: probably Fulmer is the guy who maybe at least fits

462
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: the bill of what they might need most. So that

463
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 3: bullpen is just an absolute mystery still at this point,

464
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 3: Ye competition excellence, Well, I mean you want more, and

465
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 3: this is he's a good option. Now. Yes, he was

466
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 3: with a bunch of different organizations last year. It's been

467
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 3: a while, but former Rookie of the Year and he's

468
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 3: been a closer, so he knows what he's doing. He

469
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 3: also just seems like like just because he's kind of

470
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 3: been through it the last few years, he's just right here.

471
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 3: That is exactly what you want for a for a guy,

472
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 3: especially if they're pitching at their back end. But anybody

473
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 3: in the bullpen, if you've got like the low heartbeat

474
00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 3: thing going on.

475
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, resume plays, Yeah, I mean you know what you're

476
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: getting as long as the stuff matches the resume. So

477
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a pitch yet, so I have no

478
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: room to comment here at all. Let's keep going to

479
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 1: the questions. Have we got ninety people watching right now.

480
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: Let's go call your family, call your friends, call everybody.

481
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 1: We're doing a live podcast for the first time, or show.

482
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're supposed to ask if they're going to steal bases?

483
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: You know what, I was chatting, This is weird. This

484
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 3: is a weird source of my information today. I was

485
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 3: chatting to some Tennessee fans right after the game. They

486
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 3: were waiting to try to get Tony Battella's autograph Sharker.

487
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 3: They weren't friends of his or just hardcore Tennessee fans,

488
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: and they were like, his teams were so aggressive and

489
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 3: they stole bases, or like if the Giants are even

490
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 3: like half as aggressive or even less than that, they're

491
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 3: going to be, there's still gonna be a fource. So

492
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: but we've been hearing this for how long? Every year,

493
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 3: I always used to hear it with the A's too

494
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 3: at both sides of the bay, like we're going to

495
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 3: steal or do you remember.

496
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: Coming down here last year series and then the Giants

497
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: were running crazy in spring training.

498
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I love this. They're going to be

499
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: aggressive on the bases, and.

500
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 3: For it every year, even when Farhan.

501
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: Was here and he didn't want them to steal bases.

502
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: There were stealing bases in spring The Rockies were all

503
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: over the place today run to stealing left and right.

504
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: So maybe it's just something like, to you be overly

505
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: aggressive in spring training.

506
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 2: We want to see who can steal bases, who can't.

507
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: I want to get into the ABS system today, Like

508
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: I was having all kinds of deep thoughts on the

509
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: broadcast about ABS, the strategy of it. And you don't

510
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: want to burn it early. You don't want to burn

511
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: it on like the first pitch. So it's going to

512
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: be the manager scene. Who knows the ABS, who knows

513
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: the strike zone. You don't want to burn them early on.

514
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: Maybe strike water, strike to do if it determines the

515
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: outcome at bat, maybe you do it early.

516
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: But like the Rockies use their challenges early today, they

517
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: didn't need them late.

518
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: But what if, like I got to fly in my face,

519
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: what if the Giants came back and they needed those

520
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: challenges late in the game. And then I also was

521
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: like just riffing today the broadcast. If it's like eighteen

522
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: to two and you're hitting and you're the team that's

523
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: ahead and you tap your helmet, is that going to

524
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: be another unwritten rule where you piss the other team

525
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: off because you're tapping your helmet in eighteen to two games.

526
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: I mean, we've been asking people about this, and I

527
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: think most of the consensus usually is that you want

528
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: to you want to take advantage of it. You want

529
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 3: the call to be right no matter what the situation is,

530
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 3: which I kind of I kind of go along with.

531
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: But at the same time, you don't want track games

532
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: to drag out forever. We think we had eleven challenges

533
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 3: yesterday and that thirteen to eleven games, so teams were right,

534
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 3: they were right. It was a I think one of

535
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 3: the younger like kind of one of the minor league umpires.

536
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 3: But that's too many challenges. They're pretty quick, they're fun.

537
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 3: Unlike two days before in Tempe. We could at least

538
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 3: watch on the scoreboard. That's fun. I like doing that.

539
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: The one the only thing I've really come to one

540
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: hundred percent think about the ABS is if Patrick Bailey

541
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 3: is calling it, that's fine. He can do it in

542
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 3: any situation because he's going to be right way more

543
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 3: often than not. He's he just knows. We thought the

544
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 3: ABS might be a detriment to him with the pitch

545
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 3: frame and everything. I think it's going to make his

546
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 3: game even better. He's so good at the challenges.

547
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 4: So do you want a guy hitting one ninety hitting

548
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 4: ninth challenging strike one or do you want to save

549
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 4: that for Raffi Devers on a two to two pitch

550
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 4: that he thinks is a blast that he gets another pitch.

551
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: I don't mean he can. He can call it any

552
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 3: time when.

553
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: He's hitting, But I'm just saying, like, for instance, like

554
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: when you're seventy eight nine hitters, I mean, do you

555
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: want to blow through the challenges and not have any

556
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: for Raffi Devers in the bottom of the ninth that

557
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: can get one more swing off?

558
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: You're to say always leave one sort of you know,

559
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 3: maybe use one early, but try to do it in

560
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 3: a big situation theoretically, But that's not how we're seeing it.

561
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 3: Maybe everybody's just trying to get used to it, but

562
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 3: you know, they had a chance last year. It's interesting.

563
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 2: You should be aggressive with it down here and find

564
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 2: out who knows what they're doing and.

565
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: Who doesn't, and then you have meetings with each individual

566
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: hitter and you get to use it.

567
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 2: You don't get to use it sorry.

568
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, but we're with you. We would love to

569
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 3: see more stolen bases. Sadly, the front office does not

570
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 3: necessarily listen to us, but if they did, you would

571
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: like to see more stolen bases. There's guys that can

572
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 3: do it too, right, I mean Drew Gilbert certainly can.

573
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 3: Jungle League can steal basis. Bader can steal basis. He's

574
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 3: talked about wanting to steal more bases.

575
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 2: Oh, really can steal bases. Chappie can steal bases.

576
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 3: Patrick Bailey can steal basis. Kidding Ambusha, Yeah, he can

577
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: get inside the park.

578
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: If you're not paying attention, you can only works for

579
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: a couple of times and they're like, hen's up, He'll

580
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: he'll run. Berdie Freeman's a guy that can steal bases

581
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: that you never think about because he's got sneaking good

582
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: speed and he's a great base runner. But you got

583
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 1: to pay attention to him if you don't throw over

584
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: his steal a base.

585
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,200
Speaker 3: Sons of Gilasker Hello, love always loves sons of Johnya mask.

586
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 3: If MLB players play in the twenty eight Olympics, could

587
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 3: we see a shorter regular season schedule Considering the All

588
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 3: Star Game would happen right before the Olympics, which as

589
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 3: last July. I remember, it's probably going to be in

590
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 3: San Francisco if the big league players and.

591
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: Matt loses a tooth in the last game and they

592
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: win and he's an American hero.

593
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 3: What oh oh because of the hockey. Yeah, because really

594
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 3: fixated on that.

595
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,479
Speaker 2: I loved it. I think it's going to ramp up

596
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 2: the WBC.

597
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: And if you could, if you could replicate what just

598
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: happened in Italy with baseball, that'd be so cool.

599
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 3: I love that all of you guys out there get

600
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,679
Speaker 3: to see what it's like being FP's friend, where you

601
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 3: just hop around from like topic to topic, and sometimes

602
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 3: he's just talking about something completely different, and I'm like,

603
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 3: what how did we get bill that.

604
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 2: They listened to k they listened to Giants broadcast.

605
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 3: It's weird when it's your friend. So wait, oh, so

606
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 3: shorter shorter season. No, they will figure out a way

607
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 3: to jam everything in there.

608
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: You know it last days off on the schedule, and

609
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 2: you have a tournament.

610
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 3: Around the off spring training, maybe shortened spring training a

611
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 3: little bit. Yeah, I would be so in on that

612
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 3: later off season. You would have to even shorter because

613
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 3: the postseason will go along.

614
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: You would have to increase the rosters during the regular season,

615
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: maybe like twenty nine or thirty, which.

616
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: I'm in favor of anyway. You know, I have long

617
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 3: said because I also covered some hockey in my life.

618
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 3: I love hockey. I think baseball should go to the

619
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: scratch system. I think they should expand the roster by

620
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 3: at least two, but I prefer three, and then make

621
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 3: allow for two or three healthy scratches, and that would

622
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 3: be your starting pitchers that aren't going to see any game.

623
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 3: And then you can actually have like guys on the

624
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 3: bench because right now, you know, the extra guys are

625
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 3: all in the bullpen. You've got to usually got a

626
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 3: three man bench. When's your second? So anyway, who is

627
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 3: hopping from topic to topic? Now?

628
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 2: Hot kettle bosops?

629
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was there, Liverpool Premier League coming out with

630
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: the scratches.

631
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 2: Should we do a couple more questions and then call it?

632
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: Ninety six viewers?

633
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 3: You guys are an Oh my gosh, we've heard it

634
00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 3: twenty six minutes. What's your record projection? Oh man, that

635
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 3: still be tough. No way, now, I'll do it.

636
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: I never do it.

637
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: Never, No, I'm must say eighty seven.

638
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: One hundred and sixty two and other.

639
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 3: Sticking with that, Jung, who, how do you like a

640
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: stat so far? I mean, stats don't not matter at

641
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 3: all right now. I hope he does one on the WBC.

642
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 3: That's good.

643
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: That's a good one. Though.

644
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: Stats don't matter in spring training, like as a player,

645
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: you just want to barrel up.

646
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 2: The baseball and go back to the dugout.

647
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: You don't want to run the bases all day, like

648
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: you want to have good at bats like Luisa Ryce

649
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: had a couple of really good at bats today with

650
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: nothing to show for it. But that's like a really

651
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: good day in spring training. You get to the season,

652
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: I don't care what my hits look like. There's no

653
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: pride involved. You can break my bat in sixteen pieces

654
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: it falls in the outfield.

655
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 2: I'm good.

656
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: But in spring training you're just trying to get your timing,

657
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: your strike zone locked in. You're trying to see velocity

658
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: and slow that down because your eyes don't handle.

659
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 2: Velocity very well.

660
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: Early in camp ninety four looks like one hundred and two,

661
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: and so the more you see pitches, the more you

662
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: see rotation, the more you get your strike zone set.

663
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: The more you get your feet under you and you

664
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: get on time as a hitter, you want that to

665
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: peak right at the end of camp. So if you're

666
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: lining out and you guys look and you don't watch games,

667
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: and you see Jung Whu hitting one hundred in a

668
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but he's having good at bads.

669
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 2: You don't care.

670
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: The batting average in spring training never goes on the

671
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: back of your baseball card. Nobody cares about that.

672
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 3: There are a couple of good ones for you that

673
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: we're going to have to take because I like them.

674
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 3: Who is the toughest pitcher? You faced?

675
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: Two righty's and lefties, starters and relievers. Those are the

676
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: two toughests.

677
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 3: It took me for a second. I was like, wait,

678
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 3: which ones.

679
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: Randy Johnson probably was the hardest. I never really saw

680
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: the baseball. He threw a fastball once at Candlestick that

681
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: I went.

682
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: And the catcher on shaft at me and they're like,

683
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 2: what's wrong. I'm like, I did not see that pitch.

684
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: You're golda hit me right between the eyes because he's

685
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: so close to you, and he just let go of

686
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: the ball like right in your face.

687
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 2: He was nasty. I want to answer that one.

688
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I left this one. I guess I get

689
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: asked it and I do know what it is. But

690
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: this is one for you FP. When you're at home,

691
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 3: we have a sign with numbers hanging behind you. What

692
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: do those mean? It's been driving me nuts.

693
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: Also, thank you for my favorite podcast, You're Welcome. You

694
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: guys are awesome. We got one hundred and three people

695
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: watch right now. It's pretty cool that. So when you

696
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: get called up to the big leagues, you get a

697
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: signed a number. So that number I was a sixteen thousand,

698
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: seven hundred and thirty eighth player in Major League history.

699
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: So the day you get called up, you get a number.

700
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: So I don't have any tattoos, but if I ever

701
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: got a tattoo, I would get that somewhere, like on

702
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: my hand or something, because that's a very important number

703
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: to me. And a friend of mine gave me that

704
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: gift framed and now I put it on my wall.

705
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: Sixteen thousand and seven thirty eight. I believe you messing

706
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: that up, but I think that's the number.

707
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, I'm the tattoo one. Maybe maybe in

708
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: a future live one I'll number you get some of

709
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 3: my tattoos.

710
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 2: Do you get a number when you're a beat writer

711
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: in the big.

712
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: Leagues, Well, we do get a number. We actually know

713
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 3: we get a number. So yeah, and our show that's true.

714
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 3: I don't show that I can that thing on on

715
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 3: the baseball writer's card. It just show your number. Mine

716
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 3: only went down of one, so they go down every

717
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 3: fifty eight. But I'm fifty eight. Yeah, last year I

718
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 3: was my age, So I was fifty nine when I

719
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 3: was fifty nine, which which was really I was like, oh,

720
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 3: But in the kind of the joke and baseball rider

721
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 3: circles is because the number goes down, and it goes

722
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 3: down because either people retire or you know, get fired

723
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 3: or die.

724
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 2: Oh really good.

725
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so ultimate, so as you get the closer down,

726
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,959
Speaker 3: you get into like double like single digits and stuff like.

727
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 3: That's your I mean, you're you're you're getting pretty creaky.

728
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 3: That's my colleague Jenkins is kind of down around the twelves.

729
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 2: Or when you get to one, we'll go party because

730
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 2: the end is near.

731
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 3: I'll be quite a party. That a musical party.

732
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: Us a live we should do live?

733
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 3: We should questions are way better than our ideas to talk.

734
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: About and I have way more energy live. I hate

735
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: taping things. I told Susan. She was a little bit

736
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: nervous because she's not you. I've been doing live on

737
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: TV and radio for twenty years now, and I always

738
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: think my best stuff is live. I probably watching it

739
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: again and be like, no, maybe we should take but

740
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: this is fun.

741
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 2: I love interacting with the fans. Yeah.

742
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 3: No, I like the lives like I do TV and

743
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 3: radio and stuff. I love that stuff, and I just

744
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: don't like being the person, like having to be in

745
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 3: charge of like looking the questions. But when did we

746
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 3: do the But you did a beautiful job of like

747
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: introducing the ads, So thanks, thanks. Discount that for a living?

748
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 2: Is that all the questions we have right here? Oh?

749
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 3: I think there's way more we could be here forever.

750
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 2: Let's do a couple more and shut it down. I

751
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 2: just actually read them. Yeah, I can read them. I

752
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 2: got my contexts in.

753
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: There's lots of old people podcasts all of a sudden,

754
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: can you read them?

755
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: Oh?

756
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, what does that say? All right? I have some

757
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 3: good questions here? Abs do we like?

758
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 2: We just answered? Yeah?

759
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 3: I don't know. Nice is match? Havn't going to hit

760
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 3: second during the season. You know what, I am so

761
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 3: interested in what the lineup's going to look like, or

762
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 3: even if we're going to have, like the semblance of

763
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 3: a pretty regular lineup. I like a regular lamp. I

764
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 3: think everybody does. But you could go all sorts of

765
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 3: different ways, especially now with a Rise you know, he's

766
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 3: you know, the ultimate contact hit. Or where do you

767
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 3: put him? And then who do you put behind him?

768
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: And then you've got Chapman and you've got Devors, and

769
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 3: you've got a Domis Elliott Elliott. It's going to be fascinating.

770
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 3: But I don't hate Chapman. Second, I think I'd rather

771
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 3: have him bat and third because I've got about it

772
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 3: either right in front of her, right behind Devers.

773
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: I like the first five. I like the way that

774
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 2: thing flow.

775
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, get to a rhythm to a lineup where you

776
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: just stamp it right or left et because their eyes

777
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: can it left these too.

778
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 3: How much do you think we put too much on

779
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 3: the lineup on a given day?

780
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 2: You mean now?

781
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think people sometimes sometimes people just go nuts

782
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 3: on a given day looking at the lineup like this

783
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 3: is terrible.

784
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: I talked about it during the broadcast today. I might

785
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: hit Patrick Bailey first one day because he needs that

786
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: bats I might hit him third.

787
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 3: Oh you mean during the spring. No, I mean, I'm

788
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 3: well the spring for sure, but during the regular season,

789
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 3: I think sometimes there's too much. But on the lineup,

790
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 3: you know, it's it really sometimes doesn't matter after really

791
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: the first in in first inning.

792
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: Yes, but I like, I like, you know, as a

793
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: former leadoff hitter that that whole traditional rolls out the

794
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: window when you see a guy like Showy Atani do it.

795
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: But I like putting pressure on the opponent and being

796
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: offensive in the first anywhere. If you come out of

797
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: that bullpen and you shake hands in the dugout and

798
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: you take that mount and you got to face show Atani,

799
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: you don't have time to settle in. So pitchers like

800
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: to settle in, you know, get my rhythm. But if

801
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: you're throwing your very best hitter up there first and

802
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: your second best hitter second, it's not it's not the

803
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 1: Ricky Henderson leadoff hitter type thing anymore.

804
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: Where you get the guy that works account steals a base.

805
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: Although with a rise up there he hit a good

806
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: first at bat three two count, I think he filed

807
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: off a pitch hit a bulling up the middle and

808
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: got robbed of the head. That's the traditional leadoff hitter.

809
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: But I like putting pressure on the on the pitcher

810
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: right out of the gat. You better come out there

811
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: with the closer's mentality. Baby, if you're facing show you

812
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: a tiny Mookie Bets and Freddie Freeman in the first inning.

813
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 3: That's fun left right, left right. If you've got a

814
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 3: good lineup, I feel like you should be able to

815
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 3: kind of plug and play.

816
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, I don't.

817
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 3: I don't know. Sometimes I sometimes I look at it

818
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 3: and I go what, But it's usually like if somebody

819
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 3: isn't in there at all that I think should be

820
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 3: be in there, it's got to be something pretty egregious

821
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 3: for me to go like, oh, that lineup looks weird.

822
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: Do you want to do one more question? And then

823
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 1: we'll turn it down and then I'll wrap it up. Sure,

824
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: one hundred and eight viewers, though, where it's just turning

825
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: to get rolling.

826
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 3: Are you doing radio again this year with Ritzo? Yes

827
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 3: he is.

828
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: We did one today. It was like riding a bike. Baby,

829
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: love Joe. He's great at what he does. I'm super

830
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: thankful to be any part of it. Like right as

831
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: you guys, No, your giants fans, who best broadcast?

832
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 3: I'm not waving at you, guys. I'm waving at this

833
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: bud best broadcast team basement. You know that who gets

834
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 3: more leadoff? AB's John who were or Arias? Because we

835
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 3: just talked about that. Who do you think who's there

836
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 3: more often?

837
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: I heard on.

838
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: The broadcast the other day that Jung who tried to

839
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: lay down a bun. If he adds that to his game,

840
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: he's a three hundred hitter if he gets one or

841
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: two hits a month via base hit bun and he

842
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: starts to become a past at the top of the

843
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: order and having super competitive at bats and more aggressive

844
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: at first base stealing basis. I think he's a prototypical

845
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: leadoff hitter and just contradicting my point about Shoya Tani.

846
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: But if that's what your lineup and your team dictates,

847
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: I think probably Jung.

848
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 2: Hu more than her eyes, but either I'm fine with

849
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 2: either one.

850
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 3: I like her eyes. I love a contact hitor man

851
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 3: Jay Sharon sixteen forty four someone on the rosters impressed

852
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,360
Speaker 3: you guys so far. I'm taking this because I really

853
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 3: have loved the looks of Heesus Rodriguez. I don't know

854
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 3: if he's going to be on the opening day roster,

855
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 3: but he's definitely want to watch. And he is, uh

856
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 3: such a nifty player. He's a good catcher, he's got

857
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: a good arm, but he also plays a really nice

858
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 3: second base. He made a great player there the other day. Andy.

859
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 3: He's mostly known for his bath. That's pretty good. I

860
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 3: can catch play a second, has a good arm, and

861
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 3: can hit.

862
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 2: I gotta see more. I can't even answer that question.

863
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 3: Super nice kid too.

864
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 2: The first game I saw.

865
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 3: I can't answer now that the guy that kind of

866
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 3: pops out to me. So far, very small sample size.

867
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, I took that one. Did you want to

868
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 3: do another one? Did you want to go like on

869
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 3: some big like big one or something?

870
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 2: Is that?

871
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 3: Is that what we're looking for?

872
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 2: I don't care.

873
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 3: You have like a summation or something.

874
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 2: People are thanking us for answering.

875
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 3: I meant you are comments. You guys are all super.

876
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: Nice, super nice. This is so cool. Let's kind a

877
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 2: bad one and read it. You guys suck.

878
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 3: Which pitcher makes the land and route leap this year?

879
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: That's a great question.

880
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 2: Okay, let's end on that one. I know who I

881
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: want to the guy that pitched today, Hayden Berson.

882
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's probably everybody's leader in the clubhouse.

883
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 3: I really. I mean, I think all these kids have

884
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 3: enormous talent. Of course they do that, otherwise it wouldn't

885
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 3: be here. But I think this might be wizzend hunts here.

886
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 3: He didn't look great in his second any yesterday. Cool,

887
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 3: but he looked terrific his first inning, and then he

888
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 3: had to sit through the giants batting around, and he

889
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 3: did not use that as an excuse. I'm the only

890
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: one that went and talked to him afterwards, because I

891
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 3: was like, what happened? Because he just walked the park

892
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 3: after and I was like, were you sitting too long?

893
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 3: Wouldn't use it as an excuse, said, you know it

894
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 3: was off. I need to fix some things, and you know,

895
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 3: I was taking it all on himself and the stuff

896
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 3: the I love guys.

897
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: He's throwing super change up anyway, Well, if he's throwing

898
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: ninety seven as a hitter, man, I got to respect

899
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: ninety seven. That opens up the change up big time.

900
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: So if I have to cheat to your velocity as

901
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: a hitter and start my swing early and then you

902
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: dropped the nasty change.

903
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: Up on me. I'm done? Am I right? And then

904
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 2: he looks a little more filled out this year.

905
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: It's a little bit yeah, a little.

906
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: More like sturdy, Yeah, like grown up, maybe more of

907
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: a man body because he's so young.

908
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm going to just take this. We could go forever.

909
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, shouldn't be our last one, but specifically me

910
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 3: Thursday night, I got of course, I have nothing to do. Uh, Susan,

911
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 3: I have the Giants off season edition satisfied you. You

912
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 3: preach a lot about the Giants steam to bolst of

913
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 3: the lineup, which I agree with some. I'm curious if

914
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 3: you feel these are improvements? Did I? Did I think

915
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 3: Cody Bellinger would be the perfect edition for them?

916
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 2: Yes?

917
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 3: Did they get them? No? Get them?

918
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 4: No?

919
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 3: But I like Batter a lot. I think Bater is

920
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 3: a very If you're not going to get Bellinger, Bader

921
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 3: is the absolute next best guy to get. And man,

922
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 3: I did not see your eyes coming. And I checked

923
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 3: in with his age and a couple of times and

924
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 3: the age it was he didn't tell you, but this

925
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 3: is like ages ago. But usually they say yes, they

926
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: all say yes. And he was kind of like, eh,

927
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 3: so like all right, because they want everybody to think

928
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 3: everybody's in right, like every team was this guy. But

929
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 3: I didn't get the impression that there was much of

930
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 3: a fit that I think it did come. But I

931
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 3: love her too, so yeah, I'll want you know what,

932
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 3: I'll take it. I think they're there, but I think

933
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 3: the lineup is better. Is the book been better? No,

934
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 3: but we you can't have everything. I guess it's better.

935
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 3: I'm not sure.

936
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 2: Well it's February.

937
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: Let me let me tell you in March, before they

938
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: break camp and see where they're at. Then then then

939
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: we could all make like really educated decisions and comments

940
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: about how things are going.

941
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 3: They they do need one of these kid starters, and

942
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 3: we keep calling them kids and young. Most of them

943
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 3: are not quite that young anymore. They need one of

944
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 3: them to step up and they'll be okay if they do.

945
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: I agree, let's wrap up. So I just wanted like

946
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,959
Speaker 1: she's been here a while, Susan's been here for a while.

947
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: Today's my first day, so it's like the first day

948
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,919
Speaker 1: of school. Like I turned into a little kid today.

949
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: I was bouncing around the clubhouse, talking to Tony, talking

950
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: uh to Hunter ments the new pitching, the new coach

951
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: stuff that I could do a whole podcast on the

952
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: what he told me today about strikeouts and the.

953
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: Blue Jays and their philosophy.

954
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: So I want to save that as a tease for

955
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: the for maybe the next podcast, and maybe I'll get

956
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 1: him on because he's outstanding, Like I got goosebumps twice

957
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: talking to him today talking so before we're hitting coach,

958
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: he was outstanding. And then to watch them take infield

959
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: today and you come down here and it's usually just

960
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: like h.

961
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 3: It was.

962
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: It was crisp, it was intense. It was game speed.

963
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: And I've always contended that we take ground balls every

964
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 1: day at a certain speed and then all of a sudden,

965
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 1: the ball's hit to you one hundred and two miles

966
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 1: an hour and it's itchy. Were running from the batter's

967
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: box and you've got to speed everything up. We don't

968
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: practice defense at game speed ever, and maybe it's because

969
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: the season so long, But what I saw today and

970
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: talking to Ron Washington and when they want to emphasize defense,

971
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: it was like ten out of ten, Like I was

972
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: super fired up about that, and just seeing all the

973
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,439
Speaker 1: guys and hugging all the guys and talking to them

974
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: and catching up first day of school.

975
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 2: It was great.

976
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 3: That's awesome. We'll have to do this again. Sometimes I

977
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 3: think we have to be in the same place because

978
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 3: I don't think it would work. We can't do it

979
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 3: too different. I don't know. That is way beyond my.

980
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 2: In the background, my degree.

981
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 3: But we'll just add more an excuse to just hang

982
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:21,800
Speaker 3: out more often we're left hanging out.
