Otherwise Aaron judge 265 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 5: Is Aaron.

Leaderboards 270 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 5: but right, NOW i think The American LEAGUE mvp race 271 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 5: is my second take for, you is way more wide 272 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 5: open than anybody wants to think it. 273 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 4: IS i think, So AND i think some of THE 274 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 4: i talked about going into the. 275 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 2: SEASON i do think there's just gonna be a little 276 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 2: bit of voter fatigue With, JUDGE i, think and that's not. 277 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 4: Fair i'm acknowledging that it's not. 278 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: Fair But, otani you can't really get fatigued towards because 279 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: he's just doing something so outwardly, unmatched assuming he's doing 280 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 2: both all the. 281 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 4: Time but when it's you, know corner guy putting. 282 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: Up ridiculous, numbers it could start to get watered down 283 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: by other corner guy putting up ridiculous Numbers alla Yord, 284 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: on and then they could start to you, know compete 285 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 2: with each other in that. Respect it doesn't look as 286 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: because the old thing that the whole point With, Aaron 287 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: judge was always that his, numbers even if you started 288 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: to value guys defense a little bit, more little things 289 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 2: like that his offensive numbers were so disproportionate to everybody. 290 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 2: Else as you, said who cares about all the other 291 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 2: aspects of? It but If jordon is there as like 292 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 2: one be offensively too or the same, thing then all 293 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: of a sudden he starts to look at some other 294 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 2: candidates doing other things as well in addition To. Yordon 295 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 2: AND i think a more cluttered situation definitely works, Again, 296 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 2: judge as people, are it's human. NATURE i think voters 297 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 2: tend to itch to do something, different AND i do 298 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 2: think that this is going to be wide freaking. 299 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 4: Open but Then, judge has a. 300 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: Couple of the months that we're used, to and all 301 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 2: of a sudden it becomes, yeah The judge show. 302 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 5: Again who knows So Lebron, James i'm pulling up His 303 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 5: basketball reference page right.

Mvp lebron 305 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 5: should probably have three more MVPs to his name right, 306 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 5: Now but voter fatigue got in the. Way, OTANI i 307 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 5: don't think voter fatigue's going to get in the. 308 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 3: Way he could be SETTING mvp. 309 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 5: Records But, JUDGE i do think voter fatigue could get 310 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 5: in the way here to your, point And jordan should 311 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 5: be in the.

High 347 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 2: i'll a judge even though he's towards the lower end 348 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 2: of you, know qualified hitters in overall contact. Rate if 349 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 2: If Jordan alvarez puts, together you, know it basically extrapolates 350 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 2: what he's doing right. 351 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 4: Now And i'm not. 352 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: Saying a two twenty FIVE wrc plus but continuing to 353 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 2: walk seven percent more than he's striking out and only 354 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 2: strike out a ten percent. Clip, like if we're looking 355 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: at a guy that has A wrc plus in the 356 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: one eighty to two hundred range and he's striking out 357 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 2: below fifteen percent of the, time this would be one 358 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 2: of the greatest offensive seasons we've ever. Seen but also 359 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 2: that affirmative league that we could measure with the metrics 360 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 2: that we're able to measure, with AND i think that 361 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 2: needs to be part of the calculus now as we 362 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: vote on. Awards we have so much information at our, 363 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: disposal AND i guess the surface level stats are of 364 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: course very, important but when guys are doing things metro 365 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 2: that we've never, seen that, also you, know corroborate the ridiculous. 366 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 2: OUTPUT i think you got to look at, that and 367 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 2: we're looking at a player here that contact rait wise 368 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 2: is in the upper echelon of the, league but then 369 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: it is also pacing the league in. Homers so if 370 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 2: you get a guy that's gonna hit you forty plus 371 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: or fifty, potentially which is what he's on pace, for 372 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: and he's not whiffing at, ALL i don't know how 373 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 2: you look anywhere else than that guy for THE, mvp 374 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 2: and especially if he's near a two HUNDRED wrc. 375 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 4: Plus BUT i think the number one thing. 376 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 2: That stands out to me is that he literally is 377 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 2: the perfect hitter right. Now like right, now he feels 378 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 2: like AN mlb the show when you can just manipulate 379 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 2: the overalls and completely jack up all of the sliders 380 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 2: where there's no flaw in the guy and it's almost 381 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 2: an automatic home. Run like he doesn't, chase he doesn't, 382 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 2: Whiff he hits the ball as hard as. Anybody it's 383 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 2: at optimal. Angles he's one of the best left on 384 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 2: left hitters of all. Time it doesn't, really it's almost. 385 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 2: Unfathomable the only, issue the only flaw has been that 386 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 2: we haven't been able to turn injuries. Off that button 387 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 2: hasn't been, working and that's literally been In, otherwise he's. 388 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 2: Perfect you can talk about the, defense but, Whatever who, 389 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 2: Cares i'm talking about the. 390 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 4: Bat. 391 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. 392 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 5: Uh Jordon, alvarez by the, way a ninety four percent 393 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 5: zone contact rate right, now that's a better note zone. Contact, 394 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 5: again when you lift the barrel off your shoulder and 395 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 5: you fire at a pitch in the strike, zone how 396 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 5: many times are you making? Contact Jordon alvarez is at 397 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 5: a ninety three point eight percent zone contact. Rate for, 398 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 5: Reference Luisa rise is at ninety four point, Four Xavier 399 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,239 Speaker 5: edwards is at ninety four point. Four jordon is at 400 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 5: a higher zone contact rate than guys Like Jose ramirez 401 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 5: and slap hitters Like Andre simenez And Jacob. Wilson he's 402 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 5: better Than kevin McGonagall right now in terms of his own. 403 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 5: Contact it's just amazing that there's a guy that's like 404 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,479 Speaker 5: six six twot fifty that can hit a ball one 405 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 5: hundred and eight ten miles an hour that is at 406 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 5: a ninety four percent zone contact rate and he doesn't. 407 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 5: Chase it's like If Nico horner had, juice like, serious serious. 408 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 5: Juice that's what we're talking about with Jord On alparez 409 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 5: at the. 410 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 2: Moment that that's the craziest part is usually these insane 411 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 2: contact guys. Chase that's the biggest frustration With Jacob wilson 412 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 2: And Luisa rice is because those guys are almost always 413 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 2: in swing mode because they. 414 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 4: Feel like they can get to. 415 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 2: Everything so when you're at a zone contact rate that 416 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 2: is and he's historically been in the upper eighties Like jordon, 417 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 2: has that's the amazing. 418 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 4: Party you can get a. 419 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 2: Seventy hit tool that right now is playing like an 420 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 2: eighty and then seventy to eighty. Power we've never seen 421 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 2: anything like, That like the scouting grades will be a 422 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,719 Speaker 2: joke if you were to try to compare that to 423 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 2: what he's doing right. Now historically it's always been kind 424 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 2: of like sixty seventy hit tool and then seventy, power 425 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 2: which is already outrageous with seventy plate, discipline like it's 426 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 2: legitimately eighties across the board right, Now and that's WHY 427 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: i think if we see him stay, healthy this could 428 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 2: be one of the best best offensive seasons we've ever. 429 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 4: SEEN i don't think that's crazy to. Say On april twenty, First. 430 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 5: No this could all be a moot point Because Aaron 431 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 5: judge so far as nine, homers sixteen driven, in he's 432 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 5: got a nine to twenty eight ops and again he 433 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 5: could go. Berserk But Jordan, alvarez what he is doing 434 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 5: is just. Generational next hot take coming up in a 435 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 5: Moment Just Baseball show, continues of, course has always brought 436 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 5: to you by BET Mgm jack McMullin arm Lighton peyton. 437 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 5: Genis my next hot take for you is a pitching. 438 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 5: Take Dylan ceese was at ninety nine pitches through four 439 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 5: and third innings. Yesterday seas only lasted five, innings But 440 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 5: Dylan czek twelve In anaheim last. Night Dylan cees is 441 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 5: Pacing Major League baseball right now in punchouts and through 442 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 5: five turns in the, Rotation Dylan ceese has forty four 443 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 5: k's and twenty five and two thirds. Innings he's got 444 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 5: a two point one to ZERO, era opponents are hitting 445 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 5: two hundred against, him and he has yet to be. 446 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 5: BARRELED i think no homers Against dylan ces so far 447 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 5: in his front five. Turns so my take for, you 448 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 5: there was only one guy last, year and the last 449 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 5: guy to do that before that Was Spencer strider in 450 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,679 Speaker 5: his two hundred and eighty k. SEASON i believe in 451 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 5: twenty twenty, THREE i Think Dylan SE's has a two 452 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 5: hundred and fifty strikeout. 453 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 3: Season it's your take on. 454 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 4: That it's kind of hard to argue right. 455 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 2: NOW i, mean just look at the hitter reactions and 456 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 2: like this is this is one where you just you 457 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 2: can look at all the. Metrics they're all off the charts. 458 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 2: Right opponents are chasing forty percent of the, time so 459 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: one of the highest figures are gonna see from a starting, 460 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 2: pitcher and as a, result they're striking out forty percent 461 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: of the. Time BUT i think the biggest thing with 462 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 2: him is that it looks like the stuff across the 463 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 2: board is just ratcheted up a little. Bit and then 464 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: With seas now like he's effectively wild when he's off 465 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 2: a little. BIT i think you see him get just 466 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: wild and take himself out of. Situations here he's getting 467 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 2: himself back into, counts, like, yes he's still walking. 468 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 4: Hitters at a pretty high. 469 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: Clip but for the most part he's able to turn 470 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 2: the page and walk back, in whether it's getting back 471 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 2: into account or when AND i bet gets away from 472 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 2: him saying all, right take first. 473 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 4: Base i'm just gonna strike the next guy. 474 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 2: Out and that's like The Blake snell thing that we had, 475 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: seen you, know through the stretches where he was so 476 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 2: good as. WELL i think he's gonna get pretty darn 477 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 2: close to. That AND i JUST i don't see how he, 478 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: doesn't because again he is going a little bit deeper 479 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 2: into outings and giving himself more opportunities to rack up these. 480 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 4: Kids was it two outings already with twelve k's this. 481 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 5: Year, Yeah so we're not sitting here saying, like, OH i. 482 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 5: DON'T i really don't think anybody watching or listening to 483 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 5: this show right now is, saying you, know come, on 484 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 5: be more, gutsy give us three hundred.

Now 541 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 5: Because Garrett crochet has struggled mightily in a couple of 542 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 5: different starts now like major major blips on the. 543 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 4: Radar it's, wild you. 544 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 2: KNOW i think it just shows you how hard it 545 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 2: is to just consistently be. GREAT i think a little 546 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: bit of it has just been the execution side of. 547 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 2: Things and, YEAH i mean you look at the expected 548 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 2: era expected batting, average both are in the twentieth percentile 549 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 2: In Major League. Baseball AND i WISH i had a specific, 550 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 2: answer but when you look at just the heat maps 551 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 2: of where the pitch locasions, are, like he loves that, cutter, 552 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 2: right and that cutter has been over the heart of 553 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 2: the plate a lot more than it has been in 554 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 2: the past this, year and that's a pitch he throws 555 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 2: nearly thirty percent of the. 556 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,199 Speaker 4: Time you look at the, sinker that's a picture that he. 557 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 2: Usually likes to wear at the bottom of the zone 558 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 2: and working off the plate away that's been closer towards 559 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 2: the center of the plate more, frequently SO i think 560 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 2: it's fallen behind and, counts and then a lot of 561 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 2: misses over the middle that have him, just you, know 562 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 2: not really able to leverage that big time swing and 563 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 2: miss stuff that usually works in different. 564 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 5: Directions, Yep So Garrett, crochet he's really struggling right.

Ten 587 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,000 Speaker 5: The dodgers, meanwhile they are sixteen and. Six But Edwin 588 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 5: diz just underwent surgery to take loose bodies out of his. 589 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 5: Elbow it sounds like a three to four month, recovery 590 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 5: likely three month recovery For Edwin. 591 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 3: Diaz they signed a closer to have a. 592 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,159 Speaker 5: Closer they have had a closer identity problem over the 593 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 5: last handful of. Years it has been The dodgers' non 594 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 5: fatal flaw because they've won back to Back World, series 595 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 5: but it has been The dodger. Flaw and now the 596 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 5: guy that you just signed to a fifty million dollars 597 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 5: contract to handle the ninth, inning cannot handle the ninth 598 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 5: inning for the bulk of the. Season i'm not saying 599 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 5: The padres win the. Division i'm just saying they're gonna 600 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 5: be pesky as heck and they're just gonna stick around 601 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 5: atop THE Nl west with The, dodgers and they're gonna 602 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 5: give him a fight this. 603 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 4: YEAR i like. 604 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 2: It you, KNOW i Know peter does so well on 605 00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 2: his futures and, LIKE i know he's gonna win more 606 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 2: than he doesn't on those. 607 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 4: Future predictions and those future. Picks but this was the one. 608 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 2: THAT i was a little bit skeptical, of just because 609 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 2: when he was Leaning padres, under just BECAUSE i think 610 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 2: this offense is so much better from where we saw. It, 611 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 2: remember at this point last, year at the start of the, 612 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 2: season the back half of that lineup was. Horrendous now 613 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 2: the catching situation is even far, better BECAUSE i, think for, 614 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 2: me is still going to be a solid player compared 615 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 2: to what they've had in the. Past even as bad 616 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 2: as he's, been he's grading out always well as a, 617 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 2: defender but even if he. Struggles looks Like Louis campusano 618 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 2: is starting to really settle in as a player both 619 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 2: defensively and. 620 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 4: Offensively there and. 621 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 5: Real, quick sorry to cut you off, there BUT i 622 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 5: thought it was really cool to Hear campusano talk about 623 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 5: what Having Craig stamon as a manager does for. Him 624 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 5: campusano has been a project for a really long, time 625 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 5: so much so That Craig stamon was a teammate Of 626 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 5: Louis campissano's and a former battery mate Of Louis. Campusano's 627 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 5: campusano we still consider like this young catching project and 628 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 5: like we'll, see he's not a vet by any, means 629 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 5: But campusano was talking about the confidence that having a 630 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 5: former teammate as his manager In stanmon instills in. HIM 631 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 5: i just thought like that subplot was a perfect microcosmo 632 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:07,959 Speaker 5: what's happening In San diego right. 633 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 2: Now AND i think with Campus ono the last, piece 634 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 2: it just seemed like it was, mental you. Know SO 635 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 2: i think having that comfort and settling in at the 636 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 2: big league level in, GENERAL i think is absolutely. HUGE 637 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 2: i think a lot of things are going well internally, 638 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 2: Too like you're seeing the pitching side of things and 639 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 2: development of A Randy. Vasquez but, also and that's what 640 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 2: they've always leaned into with rub Min. Diebolo but how 641 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 2: About Walker bueller AND i hope he can continue doing. 642 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 4: It but he looked really good last time. 643 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 2: Out he's talking about how good he, feels giving credit 644 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 2: to the, coaches AND i mean the v low was 645 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 2: backup last. Outing we're gonna see him PITCH i think 646 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 2: today or, tomorrow depending on when you're listening to this. 647 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 2: Again AND i, mean If bueller is is just even 648 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 2: sixty percent of what we've seen from, HIM i think 649 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 2: that's huge for this. Rotation and then you know that 650 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 2: this is going to be the best bullpen In Major 651 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 2: League baseball if it's not statistically, LIKE i trust it 652 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 2: more than any bullpen In Major League. BASEBALL i Hope 653 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 2: Jeremiah strata gets, back you, know even within a couple of. 654 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 2: Months they're fine because they just Got Jason adam, back 655 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 2: and then The Nick Pivetta Joe musgrove wrinkle is. Huge 656 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 2: BUT i think for the regular season side of, things 657 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 2: this offense is going to keep you. Afloat you Have 658 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 2: king And vasquez holding it down a little bit at the. 659 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 2: Top at, least you, know you Hope waldron can just 660 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 2: come in and eat some innings for you and the 661 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 2: bullpen is going to be. 662 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,239 Speaker 4: FANTASTIC i love this.

FINE i 725 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 2: don't love the. BULLPEN i don't Think camillo Dov all 726 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 2: is very. GOOD i think he was one of those 727 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 2: guys that we saw the best right when he came. 728 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 2: UP i just don't know if he has that definitive 729 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: putaway stuff that you want from a GUY i.

Stuff he walks the, world 735 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 2: AND i Like David bednar a, lot but he's not 736 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 2: Necessarily Greg maddix out there. Either SO i think this, 737 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 2: bullpen when everything's, clicking everyone's, hot it can be pretty. 738 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 2: Good BUT i also think it's a definitive weakness for. 739 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 2: Them that's the only THING i can really point towards 740 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 2: and say this will do them in BECAUSE i think 741 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 2: the offense is only going to get better as other 742 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 2: guys starts to inevitably pick up and this pitching staff is. 743 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 5: Stupid, Okay so my counter to that, is why Can't 744 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,959 Speaker 5: Brian cashman pick up the phone On june tenth and 745 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,240 Speaker 5: Call Dana brown and say we Want brian a bray 746 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 5: you in a walk. 747 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 4: Here and then just fix. HIM i know he's really, 748 00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 4: struggled but, like, yeah they could do. 749 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 2: That they've very aggressively addressed the bullpen in the last 750 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 2: couple of, years AND i think that's something that you'll 751 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 2: See cashman do. 752 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 4: Again so that's the, Thing Like i'm just trying to 753 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 4: give you some some. 754 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 2: Pushback the BULLPEN i don't like at, all but you 755 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 2: hedge that with ridiculous rotation. 756 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 4: DEPTH i Think luis heel ends up being in that. 757 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 2: Bullpen we'll, see maybe he ends up performing better when 758 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 2: he is relegated to that. 759 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:33,399 Speaker 4: Role but this. 760 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,879 Speaker 2: Pitching staff, man it's crazy you pair that With Ben, 761 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,880 Speaker 2: rice you, know emerging into this offensive. 762 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,160 Speaker 4: Star whether he maintains this. 763 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 2: Or, NOT i think it's very obvious that this guy 764 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 2: is going to absolutely. Rake and then all the other 765 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 2: pieces THAT i don't really have to sell you. ON 766 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 2: i think the big thing too would be shortstop slash third, 767 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,280 Speaker 2: base just the left side of the endfield like McMahon 768 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 2: can't really. Hit and then It's caballero And vulpi Like 769 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 2: caballero hasn't been swinging it grade.

Games you are 837 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,160 Speaker 5: splitting hairs between these, two AND i do think that 838 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 5: these two are the gold standard of second base play 839 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 5: In Major league. 840 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:57,759 Speaker 3: Baseball right. 841 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 2: Now, yeah that's the part that's really difficult because Like 842 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,400 Speaker 2: katel is so, Different Like katel is gonna just go 843 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,320 Speaker 2: hit you thirty five home runs and net neutral defend 844 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 2: like at second, base and you're gonna be happy with, it, 845 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:16,399 Speaker 2: OBVIOUSLY i and he's still gonna dh a decent bit 846 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,759 Speaker 2: here and there. Too when you look at a war 847 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 2: at the war, OUTPUT i think there's a very real 848 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,799 Speaker 2: scenario where both those guys could turn out turn out 849 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:28,359 Speaker 2: at higher. War but If i'm hitting thirty homers From 850 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 2: Katel marte in a one to FIFTY wrc plus and 851 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 2: he's not a liability, Defensively i'm probably still taking. That that, 852 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 2: SAID i think by the end of this year it's 853 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 2: not looked at as Like Kutel marte to your, point 854 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 2: and then everybody, ELSE i do think that when you 855 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 2: have a guy, that's you, know one of the, BEST 856 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 2: i didn't just so far and ahead offensively everybody else 857 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 2: at the, POSITION i do think that that is a 858 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 2: unique opportunity for a switch hitter with that kind of. 859 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:08,280 Speaker 2: Power but to your, point like what you get From 860 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 2: terrang And horner is really hard to. Match and If 861 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,359 Speaker 2: Kadel marte isn't thirty percent better than them, offensively you're 862 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 2: twenty percent better than them. 863 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,240 Speaker 4: Offensively then they make up that ground. 864 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 2: With the, speed with the, defense and with all the 865 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,680 Speaker 2: little intangibles that they bring to the. Table So i'm 866 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,399 Speaker 2: gonna be like the status quo guy here and, say, 867 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,839 Speaker 2: Look katel hasn't even turned it on. Yet he's got four. 868 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,720 Speaker 2: Homers LIKE i Think catel's gonna hit thirty plus and he's. 869 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 4: Gonna eat up. 870 00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 2: Here but it would not surprise me at, all especially 871 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 2: the fact that terreng already has the four homers in nineteen. 872 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 2: Games and, uh you, Know nico got his.

Way, okay 1017 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 5: we're not necessarily going to do it by walk off 1018 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 5: homers or by eighth inning homers or by save. Situations 1019 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 5: when you can flip in at that upside, down that 1020 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 5: is strategic. Excellence AND i want to talk about some 1021 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 5: of the catchers that have been best AT abs so 1022 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 5: far this, year because this is a development that like 1023 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 5: literally every casual baseball fan is asking me, about and 1024 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 5: even non baseball, fans what do you think of THE? 1025 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:33,360 Speaker 3: Abs The Challenge. 1026 00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 5: System people that say what do you think of THE, 1027 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 5: abs chances are they have no idea that it stands 1028 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,959 Speaker 5: for automated ball. Strike it's so much fun to watch 1029 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 5: The Challenge system come out to play in such a 1030 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 5: humongous way at the outset of this, year AND i 1031 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,760 Speaker 5: just wanted to showcase the top ten catchers in baseball 1032 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:54,120 Speaker 5: in terms of just correctly overturned abs challenge, calls and 1033 00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,160 Speaker 5: one of the best just from a projection and a percentage, 1034 00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,239 Speaker 5: Standpoint Dylan ding In. Detroit we have raved about him, 1035 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 5: constantly but, dude he's eleven for thirteen in the challenge. 1036 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,160 Speaker 5: System that's just another wrinkle added to his game that 1037 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 5: makes no. Sense and this guy may be a top 1038 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,160 Speaker 5: three catcher in the. SPORT i mean that's a huge 1039 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,440 Speaker 5: separator there. TOO i think that that's the fun thing 1040 00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:21,040 Speaker 5: about this is like it is going to be a 1041 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:25,640 Speaker 5: very important supplemental value to framing as. Well like you 1042 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,399 Speaker 5: could steal strikes in two. 1043 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,880 Speaker 2: Ways, now you can steal strikes by uh, one presenting 1044 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 2: them well consistently and hoping that hitters don't challenge. Them but, 1045 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 2: two you could steal strikes by properly challenging calls that 1046 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,600 Speaker 2: were you, know one or two pitches off and or 1047 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 2: one or two balls off or that in either direction 1048 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,760 Speaker 2: and just consistently being right versus. 1049 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,239 Speaker 4: Wrong because there's also some gravity to being. 1050 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,040 Speaker 2: Wrong it's not just, like, oh, great you stole a, 1051 00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,120 Speaker 2: strike it's also good you didn't burn a challenge for 1052 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,839 Speaker 2: your hitters or you again later at higher leverage later 1053 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 2: in the. Ballgame so like being wrong is like compoundingly bad. 1054 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 4: Dingler, dude he's just got a great feel for the. 1055 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 2: Zone he's frames, well and he's east stealing strikes with 1056 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 2: with the. 1057 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:14,760 Speaker 5: Abs so there are a couple other guys that jump 1058 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 5: out to me on that catcher. List Salvador perez has 1059 00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 5: overturned sixteen. Calls, now he's challenging all the. Time but 1060 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,839 Speaker 5: there are some not very good defensive catchers that are 1061 00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,360 Speaker 5: operating at a pretty high clip, here and that adds 1062 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 5: a whole bunch of value to. You and the guy 1063 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,480 Speaker 5: that jumps out to me Is Hunter goodman In. Colorado 1064 00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 5: goodman won A Silver slugger last. Year he had a 1065 00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 5: thirty home run. Season he's thirteen for seventeen in the abs. 1066 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 5: Department so we're talking about this guy being a not 1067 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,439 Speaker 5: great defensive. Catcher, okay the running game is still going 1068 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,960 Speaker 5: to be a big factor For Hunter goodman caught. Games, 1069 00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 5: okay you, know maybe framing is going to be a 1070 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 5: big factor. There but if he understands the strike zone 1071 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,160 Speaker 5: and if he can use abs to his, advantage for, 1072 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 5: Me i'm gonna have to recalibrate at some point soon 1073 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 5: and start Calling Hunter goodman a better defensive catcher than 1074 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:00,319 Speaker 5: WHAT i WANT i thought he. 1075 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,279 Speaker 2: Was, yeah BECAUSE i mean, again if you're stealing a 1076 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,359 Speaker 2: couple strikes per game with the, abs or even if 1077 00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 2: it's one to two you get the elite, framers it 1078 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 2: grades out to roughly one to two stolen strikes per 1079 00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 2: game like. 1080 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:17,200 Speaker 4: That that's a lot of the best framers that we're 1081 00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 4: looking at are stealing about that. 1082 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 2: Many so that's the craziest part is this actually is 1083 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 2: going to BECOME i wouldn't say almost as valuable because 1084 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,719 Speaker 2: it's it's not as, consistent AND i feel like you 1085 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 2: can also it's hard to fully quantify now this because 1086 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,799 Speaker 2: you're also even when you're not stealing, strikes if you're 1087 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,560 Speaker 2: really good at, presenting you're putting hitters in a in 1088 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,360 Speaker 2: a very complex situation where they got to, decide you, 1089 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,160 Speaker 2: know whether they're going to challenge or. Not AND i 1090 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,440 Speaker 2: think that in itself is. Valuable but this is going 1091 00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,759 Speaker 2: to be more, VALUABLE i think than people were. Anticipating 1092 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,600 Speaker 2: and the fact that we have the ability to measure 1093 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 2: it with STATCAST i think is really. 1094 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:56,719 Speaker 4: Important and, yeah if you're not a good. 1095 00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,880 Speaker 2: Receiver this can chip away at that pretty SIGNIFIC i 1096 00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:02,240 Speaker 2: look at even A Mitch Garver. 1097 00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:05,719 Speaker 4: Garver six for six for The, Mariners, Like garver's not 1098 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,880 Speaker 4: a great help defensive catcher at this stage of his, 1099 00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 4: career but that's a great value add for a veteran, here. 1100 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:13,960 Speaker 3: Such a huge value. 1101 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,239 Speaker 5: Add so THE abs challenge system been such a joy 1102 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,480 Speaker 5: to see implemented in, baseball very pitch.
