Speaker 1: powered by Fox One. All right, WBC quarterfinal ist set. Gentlemen,

10
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: we had a live postgame last night. It was me

11
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: and Eric and Todd AJ. I would like to get

12
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: your thoughts on how it unfolded last night. Of course,

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: Team USA is in because of Team Italy. You're purposely

14
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: looking at the wrong camera just to piss off our doctor.

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: You are unbelievable.

16
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: Am on, I'm looking at the right camera.

17
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: You later on camera.

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 3: Oh am, I I didn't even realize it. Sorry, such

19
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: a trill. Uh Wait, the USA got through.

20
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: I fell I fell asleep once Italy went up like

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: seven nothing in that game, so wait, oh oh, that's right.

23
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: They get through and by the way, Vinnie Pasquentino, what

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 3: an interview after the game three homers and what an interview.

25
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: And Bobby Witt, I guess he's gonna have to buy

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: him dinner or something along the way to uh, thank

27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 3: Vinnie for leading his team Italy to the victory. So

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: therefore us a kind of I don't want to say

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: backdoored their way in, but they didn't get in by winning.

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: The pool, which is what most people thought.

31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 3: So I'm happy USA is through, obviously as a USA fan,

32
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 3: not the way they wanted to get through.

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 2: But now they get Canada.

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: So now they get to be not only Mexico, but

35
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 3: then they're going to get to beat Canada. So we're

36
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: just going to control the whole North American continent in

37
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: baseball as we should.

38
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so are you saying that you like? You like

39
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: the USA's chair moving forward, and we'll talk about the

40
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: quarterfinal matchup between USA and Canada momentarily, but Eric, let's

41
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: talk a bit more about pasquatch. Vinnie Pasquintino has been

42
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: a jolt of energy. And when I say that, I'm

43
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: not just talking about the espresso my friend in that dugout,

44
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: but man, he's been good for that team. You gotta

45
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: love the way he's going about his business and kind

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: of being the leader of Italia.

47
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's definitely taking that captain ship role, I meaning

48
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: being the recruiter trying to get everybody that's ever eaten

49
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: pasta to play for Team Italy. I mean he's got

50
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: asked for the holidays, he asked for Pete Alonzo, like

51
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 4: he's taken all the Italian alana. You might have been

52
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 4: even asked to play for Team Italy. But honestly, like

53
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: that's that's what you need in these things. You need

54
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 4: that guy who is banging the drum for the team

55
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 4: for the federation, and they had a little bit of

56
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 4: turnover because Piazza isn't there anymore. I think he was

57
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 4: that guy that was really banging the drum. I know,

58
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: the Colobello family, different people behind Team Italy have been

59
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 4: pushing for this team to put the best foot forward.

60
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 4: And he was not good up until this game batting wise,

61
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: but he has been a absolute vacuum over at first

62
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: base and the plays he've been making has kept his

63
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: team in the games. But to come out and hit

64
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 4: three home runs, the first guy ever to have three

65
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 4: home runs in a WBC game, Like, I had no

66
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: idea when that graphic came up. I was like, I

67
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 4: was very surprised that nobody had had a three home

68
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: run game because there's some stinker of teams that you

69
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 4: play against. And it was the first WBC game with

70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 4: three homers. And he stepped up and pushed his pushed

71
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 4: his fellow American brethren onto the final, onto the quarterfinals.

72
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: Also the double kiss in the dugout, just I just

73
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: love it so much. And I have an idea for

74
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: the espresso machine, guys. I think they should auction off

75
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: the that exact espresso machine when the tournament is over,

76
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: and they should take the money, auction it off to

77
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: somebody who would like to have that in their home.

78
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: Take all of the money and donate it to the

79
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: Italian American Baseball Foundation. I think that would be an

80
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: awesome idea. Vinnie passed Fuentino with a great postgame interview

81
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: last night. Take a listen.

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 5: I'm caffeinated, I'm beamed up right now. So just yeah,

83
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 5: we're in a good spot. That was unbelievable.

84
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 4: Huh, You're welcome, USA.

85
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 5: We were thinking of you guys over at your hotel.

86
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 5: We were thinking of you guys. So glad you guys

87
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 5: could join us in the party.

88
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: So great.

89
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 2: I love it.

90
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: By the way, the best part of that was earlier

91
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 3: in the game when he hit his first homer and

92
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: they asked Vinnie what the flavors were, and he goes,

93
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: we got yellow, and we got red. I don't know

94
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 3: if one, and then they showed him it was yellow,

95
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: we got I think he's.

96
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: A golden red.

97
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, golden red.

98
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: We have golden red, and you just pick which one

99
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: you want.

100
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 5: It was great.

101
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: I mean, the whole thing is great. Listen, this is tournament.

102
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 3: I love this tournament. I know Kratzy loves this tournament.

103
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: I think you love this tournament, Alto. It's just awesome

104
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 3: to see these guys out there playing having fun, and

105
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: then when upsets happened, like Italy over USA, it makes

106
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 3: it even more interesting and more fun. So excuse me,

107
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 3: my pasta had last night, so I had to eat.

108
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 3: I eat Italian for the team in Italy last night

109
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: to get USA in. But yeah, it's just such a

110
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: cool thing, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger. The

111
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: TV ratings have been unbelievable for this whole thing, so

112
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: I think it's great. I hope we continue to more

113
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: of this, and I hope they figure out a way

114
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 3: to get the best players in the Olympics. Even though

115
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: the teams that are going to be an Olympics we'll

116
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: talk about a later date, there's only going to be

117
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: six teams in the Olympics. It's it's it's sad. But anyways,

118
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: I love the WBC and I think it's awesome for

119
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 3: the game.

120
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the ratings have been great. You've been a

121
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: part of that aj on Fox with your team over there.

122
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: So let's take a look at the bracket. Now we

123
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: know the four games that are setting up for these finals.

124
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: Of course we have Korea and the Dominican Republic. We

125
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: talked about the US and Canada. Of course, Puerto Rico

126
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: going up against Italy and then Venezuela going up against

127
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: Team Japan. Let's talk about Canada and the US. Obviously,

128
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: when you think about these two teams, Eric, you think

129
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: about hockey at least I do. I think about pucks

130
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: with US and Canada. But here we go in the

131
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: quarterfinals between our neighbors to the north.

132
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, before we get to the baseball part

133
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 4: of it, I think Canada's got a little bit of

134
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: a chip on their shoulder because most of Canada probably

135
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 4: could care less if Canadian baseball loses.

136
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 5: To the US.

137
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 4: But so far, America's two to zero in the Canada

138
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 4: VERSUS US exchange here with the women's hockey winning and

139
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 4: men's hockey winning. So really, the baseball team, they've already

140
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: had their little blip in the radar. They have to

141
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 4: come out and they have to they have to show out,

142
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 4: just like the hockey teams did. But all that to say, yes,

143
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: the lineup is so much better. Yes, the pitching, the depth,

144
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,559
Speaker 4: all that stuff is so much better. But knowing Ernie

145
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 4: Witt for a long time manager, longtime manager of WBC

146
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 4: and Team Canada pretty much every international game that they've played,

147
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 4: Stubby Klapp has been a player on there and a

148
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 4: now on the staff for a long time. Larry Walker like,

149
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 4: it's the same cast of guys and does that give

150
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 4: that Does that make them a better team? No, it

151
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 4: makes them more cohesive. They don't have the Justin Moore

152
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 4: knows anymore, the Russell Martins anymore. They don't have those

153
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 4: bigger name guys, but they have guys that can step

154
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: up and be a cohesive unit.

155
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 5: I said it before.

156
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 4: The reason Japan wins this is because they figure out

157
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 4: how to play together. What that looks like statistically, I

158
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 4: don't know, but what it looks like in victories. Japan's

159
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 4: got three victories. Teams have played together. Know the coach

160
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 4: is they have a very cohesive groups. That's how you

161
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 4: win in these torments. That's how you win in international baseball.

162
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: And so you can't count Canada out. But I think

196
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: even ripped their hearts out in the World Series and

197
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,240

198
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: Them, right, So, I mean, at what point is Canada

199
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: just going to give up?

200
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: And you know, Mark, our fearless leader here, he's just

201
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: waiting for him to become the fifty.

202
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: First state, is what I heard him say before the show.

203
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 2: So I mean, where are we at? Okay, Yeah, I'm

204
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: just kidding everybody. It was a joke. Mark did not

205
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: say that.

206
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 4: He said, don't clip it, clip that part out, take

207
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 4: it out.

208
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 5: I'll be like.

209
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: The MLB network and takes shit down and then try

210
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: to just the Internet is forever, Yes, forever.

211
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: And by the way, that's one of the craziest things

212
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 3: I've ever heard. But South Park the other said it best.

213
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: Blame Canada. What was the song Blame Canada? The whole

214
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 3: episode was blame Canada for like everything. So that's where

215
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: we're at as US baseball fans. We're blaming Canada for everything.

216
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 5: Blame Canada.

217
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.

218
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: Anyways, to get Paxxton out of the game, that was funny.

219
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: Did you see his face?

220
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: Yes, because he had one more If he threw one

221
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 3: more pitch, he couldn't pitch right.

222
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: So they were like they.

223
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: Had to get him out and he was like laughing

224
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: about it because he didn't want to because they were

225
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: they already had that huge league and he's.

226
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 5: Still throwing ninety seven.

227
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, by the way, they said he was ninety two.

228
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: He was like ninety six ninety seven. He making a comeback.

229
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: Well, see, if there wasn't the pitch count, he could

230
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: just you could just roll him out there. Because he's

231
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: not he doesn't play for a team. He's retired. You

232
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: can just wear him out. But with the pitch count,

233
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: you can't do that. Oh in casey, guys, he's a player.

234
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: He's a good guy. Up and comers.

235
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: There's a lot of good Naylor brothers are on Canada.

236
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 4: Tian Abraham Toro is having is having a great series.

237
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 4: Mike Soroka has made I mean he was just on

238
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 4: a show just I mean just a couple of weeks ago,

239
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 4: talking about the different changes that he made.

240
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 5: There's not there's that. This is the beauty of baseball.

241
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 4: This is why we say at the beginning of every

242
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 4: year that the Dodgers build their team. Oh man, you know,

243
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 4: Dodgers are just gonna win all one hundred and sixty

244
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 4: two games. It's not for a lack of effort. Players

245
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 4: want to win every single game. But the game of

246
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 4: baseball will humble you because you can hit one hundred

247
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 4: and one out of the ballpark down the left field line,

248
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 4: but you sometimes can't figure out how to hit a

249
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 4: sinker down and a way through the infield. Like it's

250
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 4: just it's a hard game. And when you have Michael

251
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 4: Soroka on the mound, Canada has a chance to win.

252
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 4: When you have Abraham Toro in the batter's box, they

253
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 4: have a chance to win. Oh and Casey, you have

254
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: a chance to win. You have you have Bo Naylor

255
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 4: behind the dish running that pitching staff. They have good pitchers,

256
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 4: they have good players, and you just need to put

257
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 4: together nine innings and you can move on to play

258
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 4: most likely the Dominican or correct.

259
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: So if Canada wins, it's because.

260
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 4: Why because the pitchers were able to execute their pitches

261
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 4: just like just like Lorenzen did, Just like Michael Lorenzen

262
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 4: did for Team Italy, he executed his pitches in the

263
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 4: zones where that vaunted lineup could not hit. And it's

264
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 4: different for each each hitter. So a pitcher has to

265
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 4: be able to make those adjustments and not just try

266
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 4: to out stuff this lineup.

267
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: Aj the US wins, why.

268
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 3: Because we're in the United States and we win. That's

269
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: all we all we do is win win. That's song,

270
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 3: you know, no matter what Marca, DJ Kallen, Doctor Phillips

271
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: High and another one.

272
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: Uh, Listen, US wins just because they're a better team. Listen.

273
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: Can something happen, yes, like it happened against Italy, but

274
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: they had their loss, They got their bad game out

275
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: of the way.

276
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: Now they roll and listen.

277
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 3: You guys can say what you want about Mark Derossa,

278
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 3: but he knew they were through the whole time. Guys,

279
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: so let's stop with the Mark DeRosa slander he did

280
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 3: talking about He said, he said, we're through the quarterfinals.

281
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: They worked through the quarterfinals. He knew.

282
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, their ticket was punched, right, so he knew.

283
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: He knew he was he was he was thinking, he

284
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 2: was thinking ahead of the game.

285
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean somebody should have should have figured out.

286
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: Out anyways, we're not going to go into it. We

287
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 3: went through that yesterday. I feel bad a little bit

288
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 3: for that whole backle Yeah, because there should have been

289
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: other people like we talked about yesterday.

290
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: I want it's telling him no, that's not true. But

291
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: that's either hero or there.

292
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: US wins again because they're the better team and they

293
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 3: should win and they're gonna win.

294
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: Carter Hawkins one one three in our chat says, if

295
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: USA starts hitting with runners in scoring position, guys, they

296
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: are taking gold, and you do more of that, right,

297
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: I would imagine it's a good.

298
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 5: Idea they're going to win.

299
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 4: I don't think they're the favorite to win gold. I

300
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 4: don't even think they're the favorite to go to the

301
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 4: finals from their side of the bracket.

302
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: Really, So they get by Canada, but they don't get.

303
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 4: By dr unless Korea can take down I think they

304
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 4: have a chance if Korea takes down the Dominicans.

305
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 5: Somehow, I just feel like they're they're a train.

306
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 3: Can I just I don't. I swear and I could

307
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 3: be so wrong in this, and that's fine. I'm used

308
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 3: to being wrong. I swear the US couldn't play Dominican

309
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 3: or Japan until the final. But now the way the

310
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 3: brackets lined up, and then it's let's.

311
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: Put the bracket back up if we can, guys, and

312
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: show keeps what you're talking about. So, yeah, they can

313
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: play the Dominican if the Dominican beats Korea, and then

314
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: they would only play Venezuela if they got to the final.

315
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 5: No, no Japan Japan is who Japan?

316
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I originally thought it was Dominican and Korea

317
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: were on the other side of the bracket in Japan

318
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: and Venezuela with Japan and Venezuela, and then Italy and

319
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: Puerto Rico were going to be on the US side

320
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: of the bracket. But I was clearly wrong with that,

321
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: which is good. But I mean that if it's US

322
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 3: Dominican semi final, that is going to be much much

323
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 3: much much fun, much fun.

324
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: So that should probably I mean, all things being considered

325
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: with the talent you guys just talked about. Barring anything crazy,

326
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: it would be USA and the Dominican in the semi final,

327
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: and it's probably going to be let's just say Italy

328
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: and Japan and the other semi.

329
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,359
Speaker 5: Right A Puerto Rico. I think Puerto Rico.

330
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: Can't beat Italy. I'm not. I'm certainly not suggesting that.

331
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 5: I like that.

332
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 4: I like that matchup, Like if you're talking about the

333
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 4: first round, the game that I want, the games I

334
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 4: want to see, I think that might be the closest

335
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 4: matchup I think Puerto Rico's I think they're running seth

336
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 4: Lugo back. If I'm not mistaken, and I think it's

337
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 4: I think it's a good I think that's the matchup

338
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 4: that I really want to see. I think that's going

339
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 4: to be the closest game.

340
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's spot talk about Logan Web, Michael Soroka.

341
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: Where are each of those strengths, guys. As we wait

342
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: for Royce Lewis to join us on set with AJ

343
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: who is live at twins Camp, Eric, I'll let you

344
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: break down Logan Web and AJ, you take Soroka.

345
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 4: I mean, Logan Web's an easy one. I appreciate that

346
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 4: that's a layup. You're talking about a guy who's probably

347
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 4: a top five pitcher in the game right now, and

348
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 4: he does it if you look at his peripherals, things

349
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 4: like his velocity and the fact that he doesn't throw

350
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 4: that big four seamer all the time and just blow

351
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 4: guys up. No, he runs probably, in my opinion, starting

352
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 4: pitching wise, probably one of the best two seam fastballs

353
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 4: both sides of the plate. He's able to run it

354
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 4: in on the hands. When he added that four seam fastball,

355
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 4: now his home run, his home run damage went way

356
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 4: way down. Like he was Guys weren't able to just

357
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 4: stay down, down, down, down and stay on him in

358
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 4: one location and then that change up. It's just it's

359
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 4: one of the best sinker change up combinations in the game.

360
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 4: And he throws strikes if the defense, if US defense

361
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 4: is ready, there's gonna be a lot of ground balls,

362
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 4: There's gonna be a lot of quick outs, and I

363
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: could see him going six innings here. I know they

364
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 4: have a great bullpen, but Logan Webb has the ability

365
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 4: to keep his pitch count low and get deep into

366
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 4: the game.

367
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: Okay, after Logan Web though, eric as we continue to

368
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: talk about this, where do you go from him? Because

369
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: Scooble's gone, right, Skeens is gone, So who do you

370
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: like after Web?

371
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 4: Would it be a starting pitching or relief pitchers starting? Well,

372
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 4: they'll go back to Schemes in the semi finals. Schemes

373
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 4: will pitch. Schemes will pitch again, so that's huge. And

374
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 4: then it's Nolan McClain. I mean, you're talking about the finals,

375
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 4: and I love that Schemes is pitching the semi finals. Well,

376
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 4: I love to have Scooble then Schiens, absolutely, we can't

377
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 4: have it. I also would like to eat a lot

378
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 4: of ice cream and not get fatter. But the opportunity

379
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 4: for schemes to pitch in that game gives them the

380
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 4: chance to because that might be their toughest matchup. The

381
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 4: Dominican might be their toughest matchup, and so I think

382
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 4: it gives them an opportunity to make it.

383
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 5: To the finals.

384
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 4: And I would I would go ahead, if I'm the manager,

385
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 4: I would go ahead and give Nolan McLain another opportunity.

386
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 4: He was in the fire, he saw what it takes,

387
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 4: he knows the feelings that he's gonna have. It's it

388
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 4: was his first playoff type of atmosphere, and you know,

389
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 4: I think I think it sets up really well. But

390
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 4: the game really is gonna be won mostly in the

391
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 4: bullpen and who which team can pitch the best out

392
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 4: of the bullpen? When you start talking about semis semis

393
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 4: in finals.

394
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,359

395
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,439

Speaker 1: regular season starts on the twenty fifth, twenty six were

411
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 1: right around the corner, all right, So let's talk about

412
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: some of the Major League Baseball teams guys in terms

413
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: of their players who are crushing the World Baseball Classic

414
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: as we lay out for the hot corner. Eric, let's

415
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: talk about the Colorado Rockies. Let's talk about Michael Lorenzen.

416
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: I know, I know we don't often do that here

417
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: that we're given us a reason too. And Michael Lorenzen

418
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: has looked really good pitching for Team Italy with you know,

419
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: just so far what he's been able to do. Not

420
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: only Lorenz, but also with Lions as well. So I

421
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: mean they're doing they're doing some good things. Those those

422
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: Colorado Rockies pitchers.

423
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 5: Sure, yeah, no, they are, they are.

424
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 4: And I have no doubt that Michael Lorenzen like he's

425
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 4: he's built for these types of moments in WBC. It

426
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 4: just it hurts my heart to see an older guy

427
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 4: have to go to a place where he's there to

428
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 4: mentor guys.

429
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 5: And then there's nothing wrong with that. I loved.

430
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 4: I loved that part of being a player because I

431
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 4: didn't play that much, but I love the part of

432
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 4: being a player where you get to mentor younger players,

433
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 4: You get to mentor guys that just don't have the

434
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 4: same amount of experience. And he will be a stepping

435
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: stone for the Rockies if they're able to get back

436
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 4: to success, if they're able to get back to the postseason,

437
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 4: there will be guys on the team that'll say, yeah,

438
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 4: you know, back in twenty six, you know, Michael Lorenzen

439
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 4: really had a lot to do with my work ethic,

440
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: my nutrition, the way you know I attacked hitters in Colorado.

441
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 4: Blah blah blah, can go on and on, and to

442
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 4: see him in this stage have success it's just gonna

443
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 4: be another time when he's gonna go and he's going

444
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 4: to he's gonna, you know, have a decent season in

445
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 4: Colorado and then get picked up at the trade deadline.

446
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 4: Like that's pitching in international baseball. Whether you're facing the

447
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 4: lowliest team or you're facing the vaunte the United States,

448
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 4: it is a different environment. You have a different feeling,

449
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 4: your heart is beating at a different rate. And it's

450
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 4: the closest we can get to the playoffs to see

451
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 4: how guys react in different situations. And you see the

452
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 4: success that the Rockies pitchers are having. I'm not really

453
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 4: that surprised. Siicano has plenty of experience. Yeah, maybe it

454
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 4: didn't go as well as the Orioles at Hope, but

455
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 4: to me, I thought it was a decently successful season

456
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 4: for him.

457
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 5: And then Jose Kintana.

458
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 4: Why this guy only gets one year deals every year,

459
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 4: I have no idea, because all he ever does go

460
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 4: out and get out.

461
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: Aj there's shoving the Rockies pitchers that are being represented

462
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: in the WBC. It's it's nice to see these guys

463
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: having some success. Hopefully that can translate back to their

464
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: regular season with their home club.

465
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure a Lona.

466
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 3: Sure you still gotta go pitch in Colorado for any

467
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 3: one games?

468
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, that wasn't an excuse. He wouldn't let nobody Black's

469
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: not there anymore. But he wouldn't. He wouldn't let his

470
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: pitchers say that pitching in Colorado was an excuse. Jim

471
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: Leland hated, hated managing there.

472
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 3: But then they should have won more games. What do

473
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 3: you want me to say? I mean, it's it is

474
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 3: a thing. It's a real thing. I'm sorry, humidor no

475
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 3: humidor I know it's Nobody wants.

476
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 2: To use it as excuse.

477
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to say it, but it is a real thing.

478
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: So listen, the Rockies want to be good. They made

479
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 3: some changes to the front office after a long time.

480
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 3: They're bringing in some different ideas. The Rockies pitchers are

481
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 3: doing good, good and we'll see how it carries over

482
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 3: on that face. The Dodgers, the Diamondbacks, the Padres, and the.

483
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 5: Giants top division, tough Division Division.

484
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: So like the Rockies, the Red Sox specifically Jared Duran,

485
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony, they're having a pretty good WBC as well.

486
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: You got to like what you see, especially with those

487
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: two young guns. Guys in terms of and guns. Not

488
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: I'm not meaning that by arms, but the Jared Duran's

489
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: and the Roman Anthonys of the world, respectfully. Jared Duran

490
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: for Mexico, I know they're not in it anymore, but

491
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: Roman Anthony obviously for Team USA, who is there because

492
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: of the injury to Corbyn. Carrol Future Bright Eric from Boston, Yeah.

493
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 4: We knew this. We knew the future was bright. That's

494
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 4: why we were surprised that they didn't bring Bragman back

495
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 4: and the impact he had on them last year. But

496
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 4: the future is bright, and the Red Sox can thank

497
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 4: Red Sox fans can thank Heim Bloom. The Red Sox

498
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 4: fans can can look to a guy now. Jared Durand's

499
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 4: name was in the mix of possibly getting traded if

500
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 4: they needed to add a bigger piece to their starting rotation,

501
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 4: which they did other ways, and now they still have

502
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 4: them and they continue to have a good logjam. I

503
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 4: just think it's one of those things that when you

504
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 4: have youth, when you have young left handed power hitters, yeah,

505
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess I would consider both of them

506
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 4: power hitters. Jaron Duran is more of a doubles guy,

507
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 4: but he's that like energy and I just hope with

508
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 4: Roman Anthony, I hope he can glean from his time

509
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 4: with Team USA being around MVPs what it takes to

510
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 4: be an MVP.

511
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 5: Does he have the physical skills, absolutely, But it's the pressure.

512
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 5: It's the pressure of.

513
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 4: Thinking in Boston because they didn't bring back a bragman,

514
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 4: because they didn't go get Pete Alonzo, that guy.

515
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 5: That was going to be the aircraft carrier.

516
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 4: To me, I think the Red Sox organization is looking

517
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 4: to Roman Anthony to be the aircraft carrier, which is

518
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 4: a lot to take on as a rookie, as a

519
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 4: young he's not a rookie anymore, I get it, but

520
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 4: as a young guy in the lineup, and I think

521
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 4: it's something that being around Aaron Judge MVP, Paul Goldschmidt MVP,

522
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 4: Bryce Harper MVP, Like you go around the entire room

523
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 4: and you're like talking to these guys, what did you

524
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 4: feel like in July I pulled my oblique and was

525
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 4: out in August?

526
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 5: What did you guys do for this?

527
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: Like?

528
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 5: Those are things that if he's going to carry this

529
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 5: Red Sox organization, which they feel like his talent will

530
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 5: this time with Team USA and being around these guys

531
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 5: could be more valuable than anybody will ever know.

532
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,719
Speaker 1: That is a lot to ask of a twenty one

533
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: year old kid. Obviously he does have the poise and

534
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: the promise, but that's a lot of pressure on a

535
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: young kid. Let me ask you this AJ with Masataka Yoshida,

536
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: when you're around these parts I live in the Boston area,

537
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: when he is your DH, that seems to be a

538
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: little bit problematic if you don't necessarcessarily think of Masataka

539
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,959
Speaker 1: Yoshida as a DH. But right now in the WBC,

540
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: he is a monster. What would you like to see

541
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: him do more of in the regular season to help

542
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:11,959
Speaker 1: lengthen this Red Sox lineup?

543
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 5: A hit that would help hitching.

544
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 3: Probably should hit well, Yes, hit big league pitching. Probably

545
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 3: hit velocity and stay healthy. The biggest thing in Yoshida

546
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 3: is he's never really been healthy for a full season.

547
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 3: It is always something right, It's always something There's a

548
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 3: reason why he had he couldn't play the outfield. He

549
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,479
Speaker 3: had injuries, and now is the Dher're trying to keep

550
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 3: him healthy. So can he stay healthy and can he hit?

551
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: That's it?

552
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 3: I mean, if he doesn't hit then they have casts

553
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 3: and they have some other people that they could bring

554
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 3: in to try.

555
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: To fill that DH roll. So he's got to stay

556
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 2: healthy and he's got a hit.

557
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that Japan just walked through the first

558
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 4: the first their pool play, because we saw what Apple

559
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 4: Us in Italy they got.

560
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 5: You know, anybody can be.

561
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 4: Upset, But to me, Yoshida's doing a really good job against.

562
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 5: The type of that they're facing.

563
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 4: I mean, they faced Korea, they faced Australia, they faced

564
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,880
Speaker 4: was Chechia in there too. The checks were in there,

565
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 4: or at least they were before either way. I want

566
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 4: to see Yoshida come to this next round and I

567
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 4: want to see him face possibly the Dominicans bullpen where

568
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 4: everybody throws a hundred. I want to see Yoshida face

569
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 4: Venezuela's top three guys out of the bullpen that are

570
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 4: all blowing cheese. That's where if I'm going to say

571
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 4: he's going to take it into the season, I'm going

572
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,959
Speaker 4: to see that change where he's able to stay on

573
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 4: that upper velocity, top of the zone type of thing

574
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 4: that I think if he wants to be the guy

575
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 4: to take the next step and get all those dhs

576
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 4: for the Red Sox. That's where I would need to

577
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 4: see it here at the end of this WBC.

578
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: Now the Red Sox have twelve guys in the WBC

579
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: at least when the tournament started, representing their respective countries.

584
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: after this. But MBM World Baseball Classic the updated outright

585
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: winner odds, guys, who are you taking? If you look

586
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: at the outright winner? Some of us are not betting people,

587
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,239
Speaker 1: but one of our producers and today our director and

588
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: our producers well Japan at plus four fifty, Jeremy Meyer

589
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: was saying that maybe that's a good bet, is it?

590
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

591
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, value, Yeah, I think I think the value. I

592
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 4: think the value was before the tournament when I took

593
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 4: when I took the Dominican. So I'm going to keep

594
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 4: riding that train. Now, the numbers, the numbers moving in

595
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 4: the direction that they could be. Before the US got in,

596
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 4: they were the favorite, and then US got in and

597
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 4: now the US is favored again, but I think plus

598
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 4: four fifty for Japan, the team that's learned how to

599
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 4: win this tournament three different times.

600
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's major value right there.

601
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: Eric, did you actually take did you put a bet

602
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: on the Dominican prior to the tournament starting? What were

603
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: what were the odds at that point?

604
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 4: I got it a plus four to fifty when I when

605
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 4: I bought it, So okay, so Dominicans moved, the lines moved.

606
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 5: What was that plus two thirty?

607
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: I think, yes, plus two thirty.

608
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's it's moving. You see, you see where

609
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 4: that's moving at. I mean, after you get past there.

610
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 4: Can Venezuela do it? They could do it, but I

611
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 4: think like Venezuela Puerto Rico, they're they're just too short there.

612
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 4: Their bullpens too short, their lineup is a little too short.

613
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 4: But that's the beauty of this. Do you just have

614
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 4: to win three games to win the whole thing? You

615
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 4: don't have to win a series, you don't have to

616
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 4: win you have to win three games. Could Italy do it?

617
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 4: I mean, Italy is clearly the darling this whole thing.

618
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 1: Could they do it? Is Italy plus two thousand. I mean,

619
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: that's it seems pretty high for them. I think I

620
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: would I would think that they'd have, you know, better

621
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: odds in terms of them being the spoiler winning this thing.

622
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they just won the pool, right, they

623
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 3: just beat the US, So that's that's one thing they have.

624
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: But I don't know if they have enough to win

625
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 2: the whole tournament.

626
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 3: I agree with these odds, but I do agree that

627
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 3: Japan is the is the value in this pick. Dominican

628
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,959
Speaker 3: is a nice value too, But yeah, to me, if

629
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 3: plus four fifty a team that's won this thing three times,

630
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 3: I mean I can't go Italy plus two thousand. I

631
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 3: just as much as I love Vinyp and this whole

632
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 3: you know, the whole thing with the Italians in the

633
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 3: espresso machine and everything they got going, I just I

634
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 3: just think the US is the better team overall, and

635
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 3: I think Japan is the value in the in the

636
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 3: bet MGM odds.

637
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll see how the shakes out. USA, Dominican Republic, Japan, Venezuela.

638
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: The top four in terms of the outright winner. According

Speaker 1: Seat Geek a shout out. Seat Geek is the number

646
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: one rated ticketing app and one player eric that you're

647
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: not going to see if you buy tickets to the

648
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: World Baseball Quarterfinals is Clay Holmes. This is just coming

649
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: out from Anthony to Como that Clay Holmes is actually

650
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: going back to pitch for the Mets in a Greapefruit

651
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: League game tomorrow. The Mets wanted him back, apparently because

652
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 1: tim Usa could not guarantee him the workload he needs

653
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: to build up for the season. What say you about that?

654
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 4: I'm saying that the Mets are saying, we're taking our

655
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 4: ball and we're going home. It's smart, Like if they

656
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 4: can't guarantee that he's going to get in, you know,

657
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 4: we thought maybe he should have gotten in instead of

658
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 4: Ryan Yarborough. You know, I don't know what that what

659
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 4: that discussion is like. Would he have been a better matchup.

660
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 4: Are we saying that because of the fact that Yards

661
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 4: didn't give up some runs against Italy? I don't know,

662
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 4: but to me, if you can't get his innings in,

663
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 4: you can't just stay there and throw bullpens. I don't

664
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 4: care who you're with. It's not like, yeah, it's totally different.

665
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 4: So I'm totally good with it. The Mets want to

666
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 4: win a World Series.

667
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 3: Well, this was the plan all Alonglana. This was the

668
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 3: plan all along. They had Mark Trussa has talked about this,

669
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 3: that they're going to bring in some bullpen guys, and

670
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 3: I think they brought in Tim Hill and Will Vest

671
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 3: and I forget who the third one is, but there

672
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 3: was there's like three bullpen arms they brought in because

673
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 3: I think Matthew Boyd left, I think Clay Holmes left,

674
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 3: and I'm not sure who the third one is. Maybe

675
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 3: they're counting schoobl Is that third guy. I don't know,

676
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 3: But this was the plan all along because now the starters,

677
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 3: I mean Logan Web, I bet you they're count on

678
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 3: a four to five innings at least maybe from Logan

679
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: Web and then use the bullpen arms and then there's

680
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 3: all the restrictions on the bullpen arms. So this was

681
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 3: kind of the plan all along, So this doesn't surprise me.

682
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 3: They're making this out like, oh, Clay Holmes chose to

683
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 3: leave and the Mets ordered him back.

684
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: Now, this is not what happened at all.

685
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,919
Speaker 3: It's just he was going back because the Mets want

686
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 3: to stretch him out, much like the Schooble thing, which

687
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 3: I can't believe is a thing. I mean the fact

688
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 3: that you know, Trek Scooble pitched one game and everyone's like, oh,

689
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 3: he gave up. Would you have been happier if you

690
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 3: just said, no, I'm not pitching, and because I'm a

691
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 3: free agent and I don't want to pitch it all

692
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 3: for Team USA because of that, then people would be like, well,

693
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 3: you're the best pitcher, why don't you want to pitch? Right,

694
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 3: So I give Terrek Scooble credit for the fact that

695
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 3: he actually pitched that one game and then everyone else saying, oh,

696
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 3: well he should pitch again. Well, listen, he did more

697
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 3: than We talked to Freddy Perolta. We love Freddy Perolta.

698
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 3: He said he said no because he was going to

699
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 3: be a free agent at the end of the year

700
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 3: and on a new team. So listen, this was the

701
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 3: plan all along. I think they're also probably worth twins camp.

702
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna add Joe Ryan at some point.

703
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 3: Uh when Again, if they keep going, I think they

704
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 3: can add someone else, maybe in the finals. So this

705
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 3: was always the plan. This shouldn't be a surprise that

706
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 3: people shouldn't be mad about this starting pitchers. They're running

707
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 3: out of need for the starting pitchers.

708
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: What about the other school of thought, guys that says,

709
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 1: if you commit to being on the team, you should

710
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: be there from start to finish, kind of finish what

711
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: you start the whole thing. Obviously with the terror schoobl

712
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: And I know that you just covered it, AJ, But

713
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 1: is there some validity to that argument, Eric.

714
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess there's some validity, Yeah, but I

715
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 4: don't think that's when you're talking about guys needing to

716
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 4: get ready for their season pictures. Now, position players you

717
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 4: can't have. You can't have position players bailing like oh,

718
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 4: we had this guy playing shortstop and then he's like,

719
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 4: you know what, I want to go get some meaningless

720
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 4: at bats and spring training with my team like like that.

721
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 4: That won't happened. But pitchers, it's very fluid. There's no

722
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 4: need to keep Matthew Boyd on the team because of

723
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 4: the fact he was used. He was used correctly. And

724
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 4: then they rebuild their bullpen. All the teams are doing it.

725
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 4: They rebuild the bullpen to be a little bit different

726
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 4: for the next round. So no, I don't think so

727
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 4: as much as I tell kids, hey, you commit to

728
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 4: playing for a team, You're on that team till the

729
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 4: end of the season, even if you want to quit

730
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 4: during the year. That's not at all what's happening here.

731
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 3: But I don't I don't love that analogy because this

732
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 3: is not this is the plan.

733
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 2: This was the plan. Like they didn't quit, like nobody

734
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 2: quit on their team.

735
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 5: Now nobody quit quit.

736
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 3: Nobody said I don't want to I don't want to

737
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 3: be here. R School was like, I still want to

738
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 3: be there. I want to come back if they make

739
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 3: it to the finals, to watch the game in the dugout.

740
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: Like nobody's quitting. This isn't a quitting thing at all.

741
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 3: This is a I got to get ready for my season,

742
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 3: which is where I make my living with my team.

743
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 3: So if you were at a job, Alana and Eric,

744
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 3: if you worked at a job and the and this

745
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 3: place said, hey, we have an opportunity for you to

746
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 3: do some really fun for your country. Let's say you,

747
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 3: I don't know, you work at fasten All, okay, and

748
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 3: they and Fastenal says, you're making this is where you

749
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 3: make your money. If you're making them throwing the random numbers.

750
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 3: You make one hundred grand at fasten All, okay. And

751
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 3: then the USA for some reason has an equipment metal

752
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 3: screwing competition on and you're like, hey, you can come

753
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 3: here and make ten grand for this week, but there's

754
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 3: a chance you can get hurt. But we're okay with

755
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 3: you doing it for a limit of time. But the

756
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 3: plan is if you make it to the third round,

757
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: we're going to bring in the other guy. Okay, they

758
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 3: didn't quit. They just did what they're supposed to do

759
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 3: because they're going back to their team that where they

760
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 3: make their living and try to do the thing, which

761
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 3: is when the World series.

762
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 2: So I don't like the cole.

763
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 3: Let's not say the quitting because nobody quit, Okay, nobody

764
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 3: on their team.

765
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 2: This was the plan.

766
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't think any of us were saying that anybody

767
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: was quitting. Let me ask you this, though, AJ who

768
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: has the final say, because if you look at the

769
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: met situation with Clay Holmes, which to your point, was

770
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: the plan, intended plan all the way. He's going back

771
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: to pitch in a grape Fruit League game. But Sandy

772
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: al Contra, who is a member and an employee of

773
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: the Miami Marlins, said that he is going to pitch

774
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: no matter what, as a reliever, as a starter. He

775
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: is going to be there for the long haul. What

776
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: if the Marlins say the hell you are and ask

777
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: him to come back, who has the say in that?

778
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 2: The team?

779
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 3: The team ultimately has to say I believe because I've

780
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 3: been denied playing in this original one. So from the

781
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 3: team and teams can say no, the insurance can say no. Now,

782
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 3: the teams don't use that a lot because this scene

783
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 3: has gotten bigger and bigger and they know how important

784
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 3: it is to the players. But like people are saying, oh,

785
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 3: why didn't they bring in Clay Holmes against Italy instead

786
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 3: of Ryan Yarbro, Well, he wasn't eligible to pitch, and

787
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 3: the Mets wouldn't like that because he's going to be

788
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 3: a starting pitcher and they need him on his five

789
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 3: day routine to get ready to start for the New

790
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 3: York Mets. Not pitch on Saturday against Great Britain and

791
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 3: then come back and pitch on Tuesday. That's not his routine.

792
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 3: Sandy's a little bit different. Sandy has a long term contract.

793
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 3: Sandy might have a little more power than other players

794
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 3: just because of his name and his recognition, and he's

795
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 3: won some awards in the past. I don't know, but

796
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 3: I'm sure the Marlins aren't super happy that Sandy al

797
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 3: Contra went to him and said, I'm pitching in relief

798
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 3: for this, because they're gonna want him to start an

799
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: opening day and they're gonna need him stretched out and

800
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 3: ready to go. Because if we were at Marlins camp,

801
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 3: they're talking about being competitive this year and they're pitching

802
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 3: is what they're counting on. So I'm sure they're not

803
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 3: super excited about. But it's it's kind of what we

804
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 3: keep going back to though the American team deals. I

805
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 3: feel like, and this.

806
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: Probably people say it's not true.

807
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 3: The rules are the rules, but I feel like the

808
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: American team has to answer more rules and more limitations

809
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 3: than some of the other teams.

810
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: Well, they also want Sandy al Contra to be healthy.

811
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: The Marlins do, so they have some value with him

812
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: when they try to trade him at the deadline. That's

813
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: just my editorializing. And of course, you guys, I have

814

820
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: Let's keep talking a little bit about this in terms

821
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: of the guys going back to their respective teams. When

822
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: you say aj that you think Team USA perhaps has

823
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: a little bit more restrictions on them, why do you

824
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: think that is? Is it the contracts given to these players?

825
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: Although you know other guys with Venezuela Dominican they have

826
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: massive deals as well. But why do you think that is?

827
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: Is just the governing body for Team USA Baseball stricter.

828
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 3: I just think that they listen a little bit more.

829
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 3: I don't say it's stricter, but I also heard a

830
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 3: rumor that other countries have called the teams back and

831
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 3: been like, I'm using your guy wherever I want. They're

832
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 3: on my team, and I'm using them if I want

833
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 3: to use them as a reliever, as a starter two

834
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 3: innings back to back, whatever it is. So and also

835
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 3: other A lot of the other teams don't have now

836
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 3: Dominica and Venezuela, and I would say I'll use you.

837
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 3: In Japan they have you. Do you have some guys

838
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 3: I e. Clayton Kershaw that are not under club control

839
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 3: and they can do whatever they want. So if you're

840
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,959
Speaker 3: not a big leaguer under on a forty man roster

841
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 3: that's going to be in a big league you have

842
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 3: different restrictions than other teams do. Most of these guys

843
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 3: that are left are obviously under a big league team control.

844
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 2: So it's just I don't know.

845
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 3: I feel like we just hear about it more with

846
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 3: the US, and I feel like they use that more

847
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 3: of a I don't want to say as a crutch,

848
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 3: but more of a thing than what you hear from

849
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 3: some of the other teams when they talk about it.

850
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's true or not.

851
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 3: It just seems like they're under a little bit more tight,

852
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 3: tighter grasp than the other teams.

853
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: Do we know If Clay Holmes was available to pitch

854
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: for Team USA, to kind of get some of that

855
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 1: work in. I know Mark de Rosa was warming Clayton Kershaw.

856
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: Was Clay Holmes not available because of usage for every reason?

857
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 3: No, because he's under he Mark de Rosa is basically

858
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,479
Speaker 3: given who he can pitch every night, who he can't pitch,

859
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 3: and who he cannot pitch.

860
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 5: Right.

861
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 3: He is given here's the guys who are available for

862
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 3: this game tonight. You can pitch these guys you can't

863
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 3: use certain guys back to back, can't use. Certain guys

864
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 3: need two days arrest instead of one day of the

865
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 3: rest if they want to pitch. The starters have to

866
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 3: pitch every fifth day. And what were they doing in

867
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 3: the in the pool play they were piggybacking starters. Look

868
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 3: at Logan Web and uh it was Logan Web and

869
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 3: then they brought in uh jeez, I forget who anyways,

870
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 3: but the second Great Britain was uh Schooble play homes right,

871
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 3: then it was Skeens Matthew Boyd right, and then it

872
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 3: was McClain, uh Yarborough. So they were piggybacking starters. That's

873
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 3: how they got through the pool play. Now they're a

874
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 3: little bit more stretched out, they can go a few

875
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 3: more innings, and now that what they do. They brought

876
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 3: in bullpen help so he can get cover innings with

877
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 3: his bullpen.

878
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,360
Speaker 1: And those directives are coming directly from the team, like

879
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: you can't pitch my guy back to back day, you

880
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: can't stretch him out, you know, more than thirty five

881
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: pitches in a certain outing or whatever, and more.

882
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 2: Than twenty five pitches in an inning. Alana, there's another

883
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 2: thing that they've they're's that they're right.

884
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 3: No, that's the MLB teams telling Mark de Rosa that

885
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 3: he can't that he can't pitch guys relievers more than

886
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 3: if they get to twenty five pitches, they have to

887
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 3: come out. And then he's like, well, I don't have

888
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 3: anybody who can start clean innings. Are dirty innings. Everyone's

889
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 3: supposed to start a clean inning. That's the other parts.

890
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 3: There's there's a lot, listen, there's a lot.

891
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, So, Eric, is that the reason why Clayton Kershaw

892
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 1: and James Paxon, those types of guys are so valuable

893
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 1: perhaps to some of these WBC teams because they're not

894
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: beholden to a major league team anymore because they've retired

895
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: or whatever their their situation may be But you know,

896
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 1: Mark de Rosa joked or Clayton joked that he was gonna,

897
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, kind of a break the glass and emergency

898
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: type of situation. But there's role. There's a role for

899
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: that too, is there not?

900
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 5: There is?

901
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 4: And when you're you're not circumventing the rules, but you're

902
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 4: you're circumventing the rules that the teams are putting out there.

903
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 4: Because WBC says you can only throw sixty five pitches

904
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 4: if you're a starter, that's across all WBC doesn't matter

905
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 4: what team. So then when teams say we can't go

906
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 4: over twenty five pitches, that's normal. That's normal in spring training.

907
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 4: Like you, hey, you always get this one from the dugout.

908
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 4: When a guy gets to twenty pitches in a spring

909
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,439
Speaker 4: training outing, why because they got to go get number

910
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 4: ninety eight, who is the jick, the justin case guy

911
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 4: out of the bullpen ready to go.

912
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 5: They're able to control it more. And so if there's.

913
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 4: Teams give you those stipulations, d row Aaron judge schemes.

914
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 4: The guys that recruited these pitchers, they know that this

915
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 4: is the rules, and so they have to recruit guys

916
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 4: that one can throw strikes and can get out of

917
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 4: the inning before twenty five pitches, which is usually the

918
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 4: team's limits. And two you need a guy like Clayton

919
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 4: Kershaw to be on the team because there will be

920
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 4: those blips in the radar, there will be the long

921
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:55,439
Speaker 4: at bats and so it's yeah, it's tough.

922
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 5: It's not just here, go out and play.

923
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 4: It can be there's so many stipulations and regulations set

924
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 4: by different teams.

925
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: This is powered by Fox One.

926
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 4: There he is, can you guys now, I'll introduce them.

927

Speaker 5: The Brewers first base coach too. Like I said before, what's.

931
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 7: Up, guys, thanks for having me on. I'm really excited,

932
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 7: big fan of the show.

933
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 5: Thanks, thank you.

934
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 3: Holy I'm really glad that Krafts could get ahold of

935
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 3: you because I only saw you like seven times in

936
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 3: the airport of Phoenix, and you didn't ask me one

937
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 3: time to bring you on the show. So you must

938
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 3: have reached out to Krafts because you know Krauts is like, oh,

939
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:48,280
Speaker 3: ex teammate Julio and I played together two crouds. Let's

940
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 3: not forget that we played together.

941
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 8: Well, you look like you were quite busy moving all

942
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 8: over the place.

943
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 7: You told me you used to have Florida going on,

944
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 7: so I'm like, man, there's quite a bit. So maybe

945
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 7: we'll catch up and do a little bit of this

946
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 7: later on down the road. But here we are WBC,

947
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 7: so pretty ecstatic about this opportunity.

948
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 8: In what we're in the middle of right now. So

949
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 8: exciting times.

950
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, when I saw you coach a first base when

951
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 4: you guys were down in dr for the exhibition games,

952
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 4: it kind of brought me full circle from when we

953
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 4: played for the Aggie Luccos and we were playing against

954
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 4: lise In in that same exact stadium in Santa Domingo,

955
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 4: And it was cool to have you on that team

956
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 4: because you could give kind of the perspective where you

957
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 4: lived in You lived in America going to the University

958
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 4: of Tennessee, but you knew the country, you knew the heritage,

959
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 4: and to see you there, what was that experience like

960
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 4: before we start getting into the actual tournament.

961
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a key word you mentioned, full circle, even

962
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 7: for me as a as a kid growing up there

963
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 7: and being around all these figures, you know, even the

964
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 7: one Mary Joel's, David Ortiz and you know pretty much

965
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,640
Speaker 7: everybody that's around here are club bells. Now, those are

966
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 7: guys that I got to got a chance to watch

967
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 7: when I was a kid myself, and you know, to

968
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 7: be able to be a part of this happing around

969
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 7: this great group of players and seeing us being able

970
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 7: to bring those guys down there like me as a

971
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 7: kid was able to watch them was pretty special, even

972
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 7: for myself.

973
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 8: So I was pretty happy and ecstatic about that, and just.

974
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 7: You know, over the moon with the situation we're in,

975
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 7: and you know, excited to kind of keep this thing going.

976
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 4: All right, Well, you're the first base coach. Some people

977
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 4: think the first base coach is just a dude that

978
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 4: carries all the drip and the swag that all the

979
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 4: hitters get after they get a knot. Now, and don't

980
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,720
Speaker 4: let me wrong, Dominican, You guys might lead the league

981
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 4: in chrome. You're carrying a lot of stuff, like they

982
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 4: need a wheelbarrower for you. But my question, because I

983
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 4: know how good you are a picking tips of pitchers

984
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 4: for stealing bases all that stuff, have they put a

985
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 4: rain on you have they put the rains on you

986
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 4: where you're like, look like we can drive guys in

987
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,240
Speaker 4: from the parking lot. Don't let these guys run, because

988
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 4: I also see Juan Soto's out here.

989
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 5: He wants to be a forty forty fifty to fifty

990
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 5: kind of guy.

991
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 4: Like is there a given take there or are you

992
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 4: just full car blaunch and you do what you want

993
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 4: to do for sure.

994
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 7: Given the nature of the structure of this tournament too, Eric,

995
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 7: it's like, you know, there's so few games and we

996
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 7: are trying to capitalize on everything.

997
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's a.

998
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 7: Little bit of rain where we can kind of take

999
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 7: take opportunities when the shots are there. But as far

1000
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 7: as our roster, our lineup, I mean, you see the

1001
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 7: way it's structured, like there's a lot of opportunities offensively

1002
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 7: without having to go the extra bag. There's been some

1003
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 7: opportunities where you know, we've we've kind of put guys

1004
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,439
Speaker 7: on the run given certain situations. And you know, even

1005
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 7: having the opportunity to work closely with Pools and his

1006
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:30,400
Speaker 7: staff has been.

1007
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 8: Has been phenomenal, just to learn his style.

1008
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 7: And and the things that he wants to do and

1009
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 7: how he wants to approach his tournament given that, you

1010
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 7: know the phase that we're in now. It's pretty much

1011
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 7: one game and then you keep moving. So we have

1012
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 7: to be smarter. We have to kind of make sure

1013
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 7: we're taking advantage of the things that are there in

1014
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 7: front of us, but also keeping in mind who's who's ahead.

1015
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 7: As you'll know, our lineup from top to bottom. Those

1016
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 7: are things that we kind of always have to keep

1017
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 7: in mind.

1018
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: Your lineup is unbelievable top to bottom. There is not

1019
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: a hole in the lineup. And Julio, you know baseball

1020
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: very well. Obviously you've been a part of it in

1021
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic, You've played parts of five seasons in

1022
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,280
Speaker 1: the United States. You're a baseball man. And we always

1023
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: talk about with the WBC how much it means to

1024
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 1: the players to put on the jersey representing their country.

1025
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,760
Speaker 1: What's the biggest difference in your mind for the Latin

1026
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 1: player versus maybe, you know, guys not from the Dominican

1027
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: or Venezuela or Puerto Rico or the you know, Cuba,

1028
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: those types of places.

1029
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,399
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a great question. It's something that is always

1030
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 8: been a hot topic.

1031
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 7: It's it's just as Eric was mentioning earlier, it's just

1032
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 7: it's just a lifestyle down in the in the dr

1033
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,760
Speaker 7: the way that everybody's brought up there is it's just different,

1034
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 7: like it brings joy unity, it's it's.

1035
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 8: The way that people kind of live and go about it.

1036
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 7: Even throughout my experience of as a player, the support

1037
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 7: that I got from the Dominican people, you know, even

1038
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 7: the years that I got a chance to play down there.

1039
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 7: You know, just walking down the street, how they recognize

1040
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,799
Speaker 7: you you're doing well, they all, you know, want to

1041
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 7: just praise you. If you're not, they want to let

1042
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 7: you know what you're doing wrong. Everybody wants to be

1043
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 7: a hitting coach. So it's kind of just a fun

1044
00:49:56,920 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 7: thing that you got to kind of have to understand

1045
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 7: and embrace because a lot of us grew up seeing that,

1046
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 7: watching all the players that I mentioned from previous generations

1047
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 7: and you know, the Vladdie Juniors, the Fernando Tatteas, all

1048
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 7: those guys among other ones that have grown up in clubhouses.

1049
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 7: They've seen a lot of things that you know, they're

1050
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 7: not phased by it, and it's kind of cool just

1051
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 7: to see come in full circle and the way that

1052
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,240
Speaker 7: they enjoy the game is something that I think brings

1053
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 7: the most out of them and definitely the country when

1054
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,280
Speaker 7: it comes to bringing people together.

1055
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 4: Who's the most impressive that you've seen in your lineup,

1056
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 4: whether it's as a person, as a player, anybody that

1057
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 4: you haven't interacted with before this WBC run that you

1058
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 4: guys are making.

1059
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 7: Fernando Tatis obviously had a chance to have Julio and

1060
00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 7: Soto last last WBC and got a chance to work

1061
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 7: with them closely. Fernando watching him, you know the work

1062
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 7: he puts into little details, just the way he wants

1063
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 7: to position himself in the outfield. Obviously, you have to

1064
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 7: keep in mind all these guys are great athletes, so

1065
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 7: watching the work ethic, the things that we talk about,

1066
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 7: the things that they point out, even going into the game,

1067
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 7: noticing details of the game, instud that you know, he's

1068
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 7: been around a baseball man like his father and just

1069
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 7: been watching baseball from a different perspective, and it's just

1070
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 7: been cold listening to him, and obviously you know the

1071
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 7: whole roster. Obviously, seeing everybody come together is very easy

1072
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 7: to forget that among.

1073
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 8: All these superstars.

1074
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 7: Obviously they're still a big challenge and these guys have

1075
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 7: been able to overcome that, just being able to put

1076
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 7: their egos aside and understand that they're all coming for

1077
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 7: one purpose.

1078
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 5: All right.

1079
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:29,240
Speaker 4: Do the guys make fun of Austin Wells on the team,

1080
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 4: because like you're talking like Dominican royalty, and then you

1081
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 4: got Austin Wells, which I kind of connect with, Like

1082
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 4: I'm like, I feel like he's the gringo that comes

1083
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 4: down to play winter ball and catches and then everyone

1084
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 4: else is like, hey, come on, Greeno, We're gonna make

1085
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 4: you some Dominican food and all that stuff. But then

1086
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 4: they give him a hard time or has he assimilated

1087
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 4: well into the group.

1088
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 8: He's been in awesome. It's been a big topic.

1089
00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 7: I've actually had quite a few discussions with him about

1090
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:58,239
Speaker 7: the culture. Obviously his mother being from Dominican. It's been

1091
00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 7: kind of cool seeing everything you mention it because while

1092
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 7: we were down in d R like one of the

1093
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 7: coolest things and this is kind of to kind of

1094
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 7: encapsulate everything about the Dominican culture when it comes to

1095
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 7: and embracing people and welcoming.

1096
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 8: Then they they were.

1097
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 7: Chanting Bay most primo, Like I mean, the whole stadium

1098
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 7: broke out.

1099
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 8: It was like, let's go cuzin.

1100
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 7: And it's like you're one of us, you know, like

1101
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 7: they know that he took took on the opportunity to

1102
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 7: represent us and and fight for this cause and be

1103
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 7: able to kind of give it everything.

1104
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 8: And he's enjoyed it. He's taking everything in.

1105
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 7: I know some things are moving a little faster, given

1106
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,319
Speaker 7: just the way the tournament works, but but he's he's

1107
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 7: enjoyed it, he's having fun. I think it's going to

1108
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,800
Speaker 7: be something that he's going to cherish and never forget.

1109
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,960
Speaker 1: All right, so the Dominican, the Dominican moves on to

1110
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: the semi finals if they do what correctly.

1111
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 7: I think the little things that from here on on,

1112
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 7: you know, there's a lot of fundamental baseball understanding, you know,

1113
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 7: the situational hitting understanding, you know, like the execution of

1114
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 7: plays obviously from the defense of the offense standpoint of pitching,

1115
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,439
Speaker 7: which has been a big part of us. I think

1116
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 7: I think, as you guys know, once these tournaments go

1117
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 7: down to just one game, obviously the offensive output has

1118
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,280
Speaker 7: been there. But now a lot of these games obviously

1119
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 7: have a chance of be being played a lot closer.

1120
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 7: So we got to be paying attention to a lot

1121
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 7: of things, from backing up, you know, doing doing all

1122
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 7: those things, executing, making sure the owls that are given

1123
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 7: to us we take them and just run hard.

1124
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 8: You know, everything that we've been able to do.

1125
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 7: Just make sure we keep doing it because some of

1126
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 7: those runs are obviously going to be scars now and

1127
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 7: we got to kind of take advantage of that.

1128
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 5: All right.

1129
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 4: You and I have been texting trying to get you

1130
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 4: on the show for the last week. Your schedules a

1131
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 4: little bit different. One of the other hats that you

1132
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 4: wear is you're like the field coordinator kind of thing

1133
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 4: that you.

1134
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 5: You coordinate the schedule.

1135
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 4: And the one thing you told me was, hey, pool

1136
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 4: hosts wants to have pfps, you know, so that they

1137
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 4: can get it you guys can get it done before

1138
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 4: you know, these these final games. And then they threw

1139
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 4: one away last night. Were you like, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

1140
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 5: I scheduled that, I scheduled the pfps.

1141
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 4: What are we doing here when when Elvis, when Elvis

1142
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 4: Alvarado threw it away. You guys ultimately ended up winning,

1143
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 4: but maybe you didn't. Maybe you didn't schedule good enough

1144
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 4: PfP like you told me, you were going.

1145
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 8: To Yeah, it's funny. It was a topic for sure.

1146
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 8: After the game. We actually have it again today.

1147
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 7: Pools has been awesome and making sure that despite the powerhousing,

1148
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 7: the lineup that we have in bullpen and arms like

1149
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 7: that we do stay on top of those details.

1150
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 8: He's been awesome with that. We have it again today.

1151
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 7: We're going to continue to have that the further we

1152
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 7: go because we understand that winning these games these things

1153
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,879
Speaker 7: matter and you know, obviously unfortunately that that was one

1154
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 7: that reflected, but it's also a good reminder that you know,

1155
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 7: even when you don't do everything, like some things, sometimes

1156
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 7: it doesn't work out. But one thing that guarantees not

1157
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 7: succeeding is not preparing. And one thing that we're going

1158
00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 7: to do and make sure that we have these guys

1159
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 7: is on top of those details. Because obviously they have

1160
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 7: the talent, but when it comes to coming together, especially

1161
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 7: this group who hasn't seen each other being around for

1162
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 7: as long as we would like to, we got to

1163
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 7: kind of keep staying on top with that. And and

1164
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 7: we're gonna reiterate that we're going to do it again

1165
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 7: today and any chance we get on practice days, we're

1166
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:06,839
Speaker 7: going to continue to do it.

1167
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: Best dancer on the team. You guys are having a

1168
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: flipping party all all by doing the things the right

1169
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 1: way too, You're you're producing, so you're allowed. Got Nelson Cruz,

1170
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 1: all right? So who is who's the Who's the best dancer?

1171
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 8: Fernando has to be at the top there. I think

1172
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 8: just you know the way, he's just so gifted. He

1173
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 8: just moves the way his body. He's he's very gifted.

1174
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 8: He's a dancer. Maybe his mom taught him. I think

1175
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 8: it comes from runs in the family. But he's got

1176
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 8: to be at the top for me.

1177
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 3: Polliu Mike Kerrman should not be allowed to dance or

1178
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 3: in any videos. He is not from Dominican. Okay, we're

1179
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 3: at Twins camp. He is not Dominican. I know Nelly

1180
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 3: brought him in as the travel traveling secretary for the

1181
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 3: Dominican He should not be allowed to be in any

1182
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 3: videos or ever dance.

1183
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 7: Hey, he's at his handful man with this tournament, and

1184
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 7: he I think given the fact that he's already this,

1185
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 7: he understands the logistics. But yeah, he's enjoyed it. He's

1186
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 7: one guy who's taking it off all the time about

1187
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 7: everything that when it comes to hotels, rooms.

1188
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 8: Or any list In earlier I've been doing a little

1189
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 8: bit of that.

1190
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 7: I've been working closely with him, and even from my

1191
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 7: twins days, we know each other.

1192
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 8: So I'll make sure I relay that message and let

1193
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 8: him know here in a little bit before we leave.

1194
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 4: Right, last one for me, Albert Poolhos you mentioned it

1195
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 4: before his name's been brought up, and be a big

1196
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 4: league manager. You've seen what it takes to be a

1197
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:35,439
Speaker 4: big league manager. Does he have it? And if he does?

1198
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 4: If he does, what's the one thing that he needs

1199
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,240
Speaker 4: to work on a little bit before he really gets

1200
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 4: that solidified role.

1201
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 8: I think rules absolutely has it.

1202
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 7: I think that his presence obviously everything as far as

1203
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 7: his restimen speaks for itself. The way he commands the room,

1204
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 7: the way he interacts with players as a group of individually.

1205
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:54,240
Speaker 8: Has been for me very eye opening.

1206
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 7: I've been able to take away quite a bit from

1207
00:56:57,200 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 7: that interaction. Obviously, not ever haven't been able to be

1208
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 7: a part of his staff or work closely with him.

1209
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 8: Has been has been pretty cool.

1210
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 7: As far as something that I think it needs to work,

1211
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 7: I think I think it's just continue to get more

1212
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 7: experience I think one thing is to you know, have

1213
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 7: had played, and another one with the things that he's

1214
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 7: already done, having one down in the dr being able

1215
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 7: to understand like the things that go on in the game.

1216
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 7: He's he's kind of getting everything now kind of checked

1217
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 7: off as far as those things. So but thinking about it, like,

1218
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 7: I think he's as prepared as anybody.

1219
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 8: And that's one thing that he does.

1220
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 7: He's constantly you know, wanting me to do certain things

1221
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 7: about the schedule, we're staying on top of, We're giving

1222
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 7: ideas and and ironically to one thing that surprised me

1223
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 7: is like he he wants to back and forth. It's

1224
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 7: not like just a one way of the highway, which

1225
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 7: has been cool. He you know, he wants in, but

1226
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 7: he wants to make sure that everybody any ideas that

1227
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 7: we have were bringing forth and that we're we're very

1228
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 7: open to him because he understands that there's some blind sponsors,

1229
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 7: things that despite what he's done.

1230
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 8: That he might not be might not be able to see.

1231
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 7: And I think I think he's as ready as as

1232
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 7: anybody can be with with what he's accomplished so far.

1233
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 4: So Julio, thank you so much for your time. It's

1234
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 4: good to see your beautiful face again, and good luck

1235
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 4: in these next three games.

1236
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,040

1253
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:10,760

1254
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 3: went out and got a bunch of pitching. They traded

1255
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 3: for Contreras, who's obviously still in the WBC, but just

1256

1257
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:20,400

00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 3: one of the best pitcher starting pitchers and one of

1259
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 3: the best starting rotations in baseball. Let's see if they

1260
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 3: can continue it and make take the next step, because

1261
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,280
