1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think it's funny, but let's not 2 00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: make it so obvious. Giants like hey good, hey good, 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: look at me, look at me. 4 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 2: Out of love when news breaks minutes before the show starts. 5 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just a moment. It is 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 2: a live show every day all year round. 7 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: No, they haven't Scott, they haven't named the pope yet, 8 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: so we don't have to we don't have to talk 9 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: about that. He's wait, that is waiting patiently. There is 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: a new one. There was white smoke today, no black, Okay, 11 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: white smoke. 12 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 2: I'm gonna rely on you to report when we get 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 2: the name. You have to say it and pronounce it correctly. 14 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 3: Thank you. Yes, you are a pope expert on the 15 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 3: show today. 16 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 4: A lot of pressure, yeah, a lot of a lot 17 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 4: of pressure on me to name the pope if they ever, 18 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 4: if they ever get to it, because honestly, I've been 19 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 4: watching this thing for like forty five to fifty minutes 20 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 4: and it's just a lot of pop and circumstance, which 21 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 4: is cool. 22 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: Tradition is cool and all, you know and everything, but 23 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: I mean, let's let's get this poke out here. 24 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: TV networks are loving it because they get to go. 25 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: Maybe we'll get a name when we come back. After 26 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 2: you watch three minutes of commercials. I'm not gonna hate 27 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: on commercials. They pay the bills for everyone, including us. Yes, 28 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 2: exactly before we begin, AJ, you were just named dork 29 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 2: of the week on Fair Territory. We talked about it 30 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: a couple days ago, but it actually did happen. Fair 31 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: Territory just completed. If you want to check it out 32 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 2: after our show, go for it. But any quick reply, 33 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: I know you caught some of it. 34 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 5: Well. 35 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: First of all, Ken, I don't. I find it extremely unprofessional, 36 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: and I think Ken's going to join us here in 37 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: a minute that he showed text messages that I sent 38 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: in a private chat. I feel like there's a lawsuit 39 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: somewhere involved in that them. Maybe I could suit him 40 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: for a bow tie or something. I don't know. I 41 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: feel like listen, Ken's just mad because his raindolay was 42 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: three plus hours and we were done with a fifty 43 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: seven minute raindolay. Before we were done, they were just starting. 44 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: It was perfect for Fox. We went from Baltimore, Kansas, 45 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: City of Baltimore right in to Dodgers of Braves. It 46 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: was like the perfect segue. They got home at one thirty. 47 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: I was sleeping by the time. You know, I was 48 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: long since I sleep by the time they got on 49 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: the air. 50 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 3: Fair trade off crats. 51 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 2: I think instead of the lawsuit settlement with the bow tie, 52 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: is Ken wearing a backwards hat at some point in 53 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 2: life and taking a photo for us. 54 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 6: I have a picture of Ken and Grimace, so that's 55 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 6: the only photo I need. This is between This is 56 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 6: between AJ and Ken. I'm sitting my non fox face 57 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 6: out of this. 58 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 3: Fair Okay, can can make it? 59 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: Can can make it up to me? This weekend I 60 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: am going to see him in New York. But we 61 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: all know that Ken's wallet has never been seen, so 62 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 1: we don't have to worry about It's fine. 63 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 3: The alligator arm battle is on. 64 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: Oh man, what's up? Oh? I can't get down there. 65 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 1: I can't get to my pocket. 66 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 2: Ken's gonna join us in a couple minutes. But let's 67 00:02:53,639 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: chime in on this topic first. On our side, breaking news, absolutely, 68 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: we love breaking news on this show. You don't love 69 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 2: when someone loses their job. And this is actually a 70 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 2: guy who is very well respected, a super nice guy 71 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: in the game. Derek Shelton and the manager of the 72 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: Pirates for about five years now has been let go 73 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: by the team. The team sucks. They're twelve and twenty 74 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: six to start the year. They did nothing in the offseason, 75 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 2: just like they always do. They lost Jared Jones to 76 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 2: start the season, so they haven't seen him yet. They're 77 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: in shambles a j in a variety of ways right now, 78 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 2: and he's just the fall guy. 79 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, this is not Derek Shelton's fault, not 80 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: Derek Shelden's fault. They didn't bring in any offensive so 81 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: offseason they didn't go out and try it with Skeins 82 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: and Keller, and I know Jared Jones was heard and 83 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: then Chandler coming, but like. 84 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 7: It's not his fault. 85 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: He did the best he could, I think. I mean, listen, 86 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: I've known Derek Shelton for a really long time, from 87 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: back when he was a hitting coach forever ago. So 88 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: he's had a great run. He'll get another job. He's 89 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: well liked in baseball and he'll find another job. Will 90 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: he be a manager again anytime soon? I don't know. 91 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: But it's not Derek Shelton's fault. I know they fired him, 92 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: but you know, listen, I love Don Kelly too. I 93 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: love Don Kelly. I played against Don Kelly for a 94 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: long time. He's kind of the next guy in waiting. 95 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: They had him sitting there. They're trying a different voice. 96 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: I mean, are the Pirates going to the playoffs? 97 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 7: Scott Kratz. 98 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: Probably not. 99 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 7: No, they're not. 100 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 6: And that's not Derek Shelton's fault. That's not gonna be 101 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 6: Don Kelly's fault, who I also think is gonna be 102 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 6: a great manager. But unlike some of the managers that 103 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 6: just recently got fired in the last year, Derek Shelton 104 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 6: should get another managerial job, and this time it'll be 105 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 6: a job that's not like a tryout job, because the 106 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 6: Pirates essentially said, hey, we want you to make apple juice, 107 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 6: but we're gonna give you a bunch of lemons. Go 108 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 6: at it like to me the way that you grade 109 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 6: how Derek Shelton did. Ask the players what they thought of, 110 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 6: Ask the players what it was like for them to 111 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 6: come to the park, Ask players who have improved under him, 112 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 6: how he is, how he is as a manager. And 113 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 6: to me, that's his resume, not the record that Bob 114 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 6: Nutting refused to try to improve for his manager. 115 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's be real. 116 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: Most people are looking at this team not expecting much, 117 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: and that's what we're getting. So let's get more here 118 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: from our FT senior insider Ken Rosenthal, fresh off of 119 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 2: Fair Territory but more time to digest the news. Ken, 120 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 2: I'm assuming you're not surprised, but what do you think 121 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: about what's been a disaster start to the year for 122 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 2: the organization. I'm gonna say that not just the product 123 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 2: on the field. 124 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 5: Not at all surprised by this. And while everything AJ 125 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 5: and Eric just said is true about Derek Shelton, they 126 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 5: were in classic fire the Manager Territory twelve and twenty six, 127 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 5: there seems to be a malaise about them. Is it 128 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 5: his fault? As AJ said, it's absolutely not his fault. 129 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 5: This problem that they have goes so much deeper. It 130 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 5: goes to the general manager who has not done enough 131 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 5: with limited resources, and it goes to the owner who 132 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 5: continually provides limited resources. And I just pointed this out 133 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 5: on Fair Territory. There are teams in similar financial circumstances Milwaukee, Tampa, Bay, Cleveland. 134 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 5: You can even put the A's in that situation right 135 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 5: now or that category. They seem to find a way. 136 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 5: They seem to come up with players. They seem to 137 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 5: just keep it going in a competitive sense. The A's 138 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 5: are new to this relatively speaking. They're just getting competitive now. 139 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 5: But those other three teams, Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Tampa Bay, 140 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 5: they're pretty good year after year. If you're the Pittsburgh Pirates, 141 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 5: why can't you do that now? They don't spend enough, 142 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 5: no question. Their off season was dismal in my opinion, 143 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 5: and then they had injuries on top of that. Spencer Horwitz, 144 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 5: their main acquisition, has been out the whole year. But 145 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 5: they need to do better. They need to find players, 146 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 5: they need to develop players, They need to put together 147 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 5: a greater depth of talent than they have. And right 148 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 5: now what's going to happen is the scrutiny is now 149 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 5: going to go to Ben Sherrington, as it should in fairness, 150 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 5: I just don't know the answers there when the owner 151 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 5: is ultimately the biggest problem. 152 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 6: The five year plan for Ben Sherrington is obviously at 153 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 6: the end, and you just mentioned it is is it 154 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 6: unprecedented to think, well, you know what, this guy's done it. 155 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 6: He's done it in a sense that you haven't heard 156 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 6: any peep from Ben Sherrington saying, well, you know, I 157 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 6: haven't really gotten anything. It's been positive. We're pushing in 158 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 6: the right direction that he gets another five year plan 159 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 6: under Bob Nutting. 160 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 5: I would be shocked if he got another five years. 161 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 5: And I don't know what his contractual situation is exactly, 162 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 5: but I believe, if I'm not mistaken, this is year 163 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 5: six of this regime, the Sherrington Shelton regime. Nutting for 164 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 5: the past two off seasons has raised expectations, has said 165 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 5: he expects more. So from that perspective to this is 166 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 5: not surprising. But at some point this does fall in 167 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 5: the general manager. And then when it falls in the 168 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 5: general manager, which it almost inevitably will hear you asked 169 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 5: the question, Okay, how does this get better? Hard to 170 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 5: imagine it's get better under this owner. And then you're 171 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 5: talking about, well, why not sell the team? A lot 172 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 5: of people in Pittsburgh want him to sell the team. 173 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 5: A lot of people in baseball, I imagine, want him 174 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 5: to sell the team because he is not putting out 175 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 5: a competitive product and they can talk about their investment 176 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 5: in infrastructure. Some low revenue teams always do. We're spending 177 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 5: in the miners we're spending on. 178 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 3: That's fine. 179 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 5: There's a major league team too. That's the main product, 180 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 5: and that's the product that you have to figure out 181 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 5: a way to make competitive. 182 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: Ken, you mentioned the Rays and the Guardians and the A's. 183 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: They have good players. Though, they have good players, and 184 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: they go out and they do supplement him with other 185 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: good players. 186 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 7: Right. 187 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: The Guardians, they went out, they couldn't keep Naylor, so 188 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: they went out and got Carlos Santana. And they're always 189 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: making moves to try to get better. And they do 190 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: sign some free agents, like they brought back Shane Bieber, right, 191 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: they brought in Alex Kybb last year to try to help, 192 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: and they do make some moves. So to me, it's 193 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: apples and order just because the Pirates, I mean Tommy 194 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: fam Okay, we love Tommy, right, but he's not taking 195 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: your team to the next level along with what you 196 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: already have, right, right, they a spend money like so 197 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: to me, this is a complete failure from top to 198 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: bottom of development. And they develop some pitchers, we'll give 199 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: them that, right, but some of their position players haven't 200 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: done what they thought. O'Neil Kruz comes to mind, right, 201 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: why was he not in center field in the minor league, 202 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: so when he gets there, he doesn't have to learn that. 203 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: So to me, this is just it's hard to say, like, oh, 204 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: we're going to compare him to this team or that 205 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: team because this is a different animal. You know, talk 206 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: about the race the Rays develop. 207 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 5: Right, here's way the comparison is valid. The comparison is 208 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 5: valid because the financial resources are similar. And those teams 209 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 5: that you just said make more with less in a 210 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 5: way that the Pirates do not. So when a manager 211 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 5: is fired, it's an organizational failure. Let's not mistake that 212 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 5: it is an organizational failure when the manager gets fired. 213 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 5: And that's true for a big market team or a 214 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 5: small market team. It's never just on the manager. But 215 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 5: while you're right in saying, yes, those teams spend more 216 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 5: money from a payroll perspective, it's not that dramatic a difference. 217 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 7: It's not. 218 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 5: The Dodgers and the Marlins and Milwaukee didn't do much 219 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 5: this off season. They seem to find a way to 220 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 5: keep it going. Tampa Bay they signed the guy that 221 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 5: hasn't even played yet, Kim, and that was their big expenditure. 222 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 5: So you're right, those teams are more aggressive in the 223 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 5: way they go about it, but there's still no excuse 224 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 5: for the pirates to be this far behind those clubs. 225 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: It is complicated enough to figure out what type of 226 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 2: car you want, but when it comes to pricing and 227 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: best time to buy and all that information that you're 228 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 2: looking for, car gurus is the only destination that you 229 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 2: should be thinking about. 230 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 3: Kratz. 231 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 6: Why because I don't have to question what the price is. 232 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 7: It's going to be there. 233 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 6: If the price changes and comes down to where I 234 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 6: want it to be, Bang, I get a notification.

So how 251 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: do you see the next month or two playing out 252 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 2: for Pittsburgh assuming that it doesn't get that much better 253 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 2: and they're not I don't know the Tigers of the 254 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,319 Speaker 2: second half of the year because it's not the same talent. 255 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 5: It's interesting, Scott I was just talking to general manager 256 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 5: this morning and he said, you know what, the Pirates 257 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 5: are a team. You can't look at them like the 258 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 5: Marlins and Rockies because come the second half of the season, 259 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 5: if they get Bubba Chandler in the rotation, if Jared 260 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 5: Jones gets healthy, and they get some of their offensive 261 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 5: players back horward, it's kind of filefa et cetera. They'll 262 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 5: be a more competitive, kind of pesky team that I 263 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 5: would imagine is still their idea in making this change. 264 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 5: They want to be better, but at the deadline short 265 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 5: they will be sellers. And Andrew Heeney, I would imagine 266 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 5: if he keeps pitching well, will be someone who is attractive, 267 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 5: maybe one of their relievers. It's not like that's been 268 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 5: a strength for them. So yeah, they're sellers, But what 269 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 5: are they selling. 270 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 7: Are they gonna sell. 271 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 5: Cabrian Hayes or Brian Reynolds or one of those guys. 272 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,199 Speaker 5: Are they gonna sell Paul Skins? I don't see that happening. 273 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: So they're in a really. 274 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 5: Interesting and difficult spot because they're not much they can 275 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 5: do to improve in that sense. What they need to do, 276 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 5: obviously is draft better, develop better, spend more money. I 277 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 5: mean all of these things again, organizational failure. 278 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: Okay, Ken, before we get into a different subject, I 279 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 1: got a couple of things. One, why not just keep 280 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: Derek Shelton until those guys get there and then see 281 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: what you can do with the full team. 282 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 5: But that's okay, hey, let me answer that. I think 283 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 5: in this situation, Derek Shelton seemed to be out of answers, 284 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 5: and every night they were talking about we just need 285 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 5: to be more consistent and better. Yes, all true, but 286 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 5: what they're looking for with Kelly is a. 287 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 3: Spark and a new voice. 288 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 5: You see this all the time in the game with 289 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 5: hitting coaches, sometimes pitching coaches, often managers. That's all they're 290 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 5: looking for here, and again it's not his fault. I 291 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 5: can see the argument for keeping him, but they needed 292 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 5: to change something, and this is the first change. I 293 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 5: don't expect it will be the last. 294 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: Okay, And then let me go to the league wide 295 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: question of this, ken is is this the first domino 296 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: to fall? Because we've heard about other managers. You've talked 297 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: to other managers on the hot seat. One team's done it. 298 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: It's a copy count league, as other teams that are 299 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: managers might be on that seat. Does this make it 300 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: easier for them to make a change. 301 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 5: It shouldn't have any effect on any other team. Every 302 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 5: team is its own organism. But you're right, Aj, that 303 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 5: often does happen. In fact, I often tell the story 304 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 5: of when my son was born in nineteen ninety one, 305 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 5: the first three days of his life, a manager was 306 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 5: fired Cubs, Royals and then the Oriols, and I was 307 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 5: covering the Ools at the time, and of course I 308 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 5: had to work two days after my son was born. 309 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 5: But yes, these things do tend to run in waves, 310 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 5: and they often take place around this time of the year, 311 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 5: when the season is getting a little bit more deeper 312 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 5: or getting deeper into the season, and this is a 313 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 5: little early. Maybe we're about twenty three percent in usually 314 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 5: at the forty five percent mark or halfway, not halfway. 315 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 5: But even before that things will happen. I would not 316 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 5: be surprised to see other managers get fired. Two guys 317 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 5: that I thought would might or would be in trouble, 318 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 5: Rockaballdeli and Brandon hyde Hide still could be, I guess 319 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 5: because they can't get out of their own way, but 320 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 5: that is purely a question of their rotation not being 321 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 5: able to get them any kind of quality at all. 322 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 5: Ball Deli. His team's playing better and that's a good 323 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 5: sign for the twins. They're healthy again. So I don't 324 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 5: necessarily see either of those happening. But yes, these things 325 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 5: do tend to run in waves. 326 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: Okay, Ken, Now my last thing. I know, I was 327 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: dork of the week, and that's fine. I deserve it. 328 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: But do you retain a lawyer? Do you have a 329 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: lawyer on retainer? Because there could be a lawsuit coming 330 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: for you showing text messages that were sent privately amongst people, 331 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: and then you showing go on the air that is 332 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: not legal. Ken, so there could be a lawsuit coming 333 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: your way. Just be prepared. 334 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 5: I am married to an attorney. I am the son 335 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 5: of an attorney. 336 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 7: Bringing on. 337 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 8: Oh okay, okay, like that, Morgan. We have Morgan and Morgan, 338 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 8: and they're for the people. 339 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 5: Ken, Okay, I would say those texts were pretty indocuous. 340 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: Reveal whatever that means. Ken, But I just because you're 341 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: jealous that we had an hour rain delay and we're 342 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: still done before you guys went on the air. So 343 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: I understand, you're you're you're all right. 344 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 3: Hold on a second. 345 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 5: For those who weren't watching our show, here's what happened. 346 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 5: AJ is doing the Royals Orioles game last week. 347 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: And again there's a new pope. Wait, there's a new pope. 348 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:44,359 Speaker 1: Can't wait, we'll finish this later. Wait no, no, go again. 349 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 5: All right, So what happened was AJ starts a text 350 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 5: chain and at that point we're in a rain delay 351 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 5: and the Oriols Royals game that he is doing is 352 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 5: not and AJ says in the text chain, hey guys, 353 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 5: watch and learn see how it's done. Because of course 354 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 5: we're not gonna be on the air. He's going to 355 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 5: be on the air commanding the entire country within minutes. 356 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 5: His game went into a rain delay, and I said, huh, 357 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 5: the baseball God's got your buddy. That's why AJ is 358 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 5: dork of the Week. 359 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: No, they didn't get me, because I would take you 360 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,880 Speaker 1: a picture. I was home in bed and you guys 361 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: were doing the open. Ken had even gone on the air, 362 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, check out my pj's Ken, 363 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: because you guys aren't even on the air and I'm 364 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: in bed with my feet up. 365 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 5: Well, that was true. We had a three hour rain delay. 366 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 5: Very true. 367 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 2: These are all real things, and you get to see 368 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 2: inside the life of AJ and Ken, including text messages, 369 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 2: which I'm a fan of. So I would be rooting 370 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: in Ken's favor if I'm the jury during this epic 371 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 2: court case that we're gonna have someday on Foul Territory 372 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: with all of our families involved. 373 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 3: All right, Ken, thank you. We'll talk to you about USA. 374 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: By the way, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA new car. 375 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: The new Pope is American, so usay baby. 376 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 5: Well, thanks for the breaking news. 377 00:17:58,240 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: AJ. 378 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 7: I appreciate I. 379 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 3: All fled full circle, full service show. 380 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 7: Thank you. Ken. Thanks. 381 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's spend two. 382 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 2: More minutes on the pirates Kratz, I hate on them 383 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 2: pretty good since this show has existed. 384 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 3: And we all know the root of the problem. 385 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: So at some point it does feel like you're beating 386 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 2: a dead horse, But you can't change the owner. That's 387 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 2: not going to change, most likely for a while. Then 388 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 2: you have to look down and for me, the failures 389 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 2: on Ben charingteam, right, I mean, other teams are able 390 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: to put this together. The manager's not winning them an 391 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 2: extra ten to fifteen to twenty games to get them 392 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: into the playoffs. 393 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 6: No, and the next GM has to come in and 394 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 6: be willing to maybe even change the culture of the 395 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 6: coaching staff, not the people, just the culture of it 396 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 6: in the minor leagues, not in the big leagues. In 397 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 6: the minor leagues, because they clearly have to do it 398 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 6: from within and produce not just pitchers. They had a 399 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 6: wave of position players that came through and that was 400 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 6: that was the core of that play off run. They 401 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 6: had a few pitchers smattered in there. It has to 402 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 6: be everybody. They can't make missteps. And when you're a GM, 403 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 6: you're the one that's gonna have to take the blame. Yeah, 404 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 6: you didn't get any money, it's not your fault age. 405 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 3: I meant it. 406 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 2: I've watched probably eight to ten Pirates games this year, 407 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 2: a good chunk of them. 408 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 3: Rike's you gotta spread it out. They suck. 409 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: Well, they're not the worst team in the league, but 410 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 1: they're not any good either. But yeah, I mean, Paul 411 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 1: Skeins already has four losses. He only had three last year, 412 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: and a lot of them. His numbers aren't that there, 413 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: still has great numbers, but they don't score any runs. 414 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 1: So I just don't know what you expect out of 415 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: the manager to do if you just you know, there's 416 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: an old saying you can't make chicken salad out of 417 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: chicken something else, and that's kind of It's just it 418 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: sucks for Chelty because he's a great dude. 419 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: He'll thrive elsewhere. 420 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 7: Feathers, chicken beat, what is it? 421 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 3: Chicken pooh for the Pirate. 422 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 2: If you want to be bougie and have your own 423 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 2: personal shopper, Hungry Root is actually the spot, and you 424 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 2: can do it at an affordable price. 425 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, without a doubt.

Castio, so there is your trade alert. 447 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 2: The Mariners get money, the Orioles get an arm. And 448 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: there were some discussions in the offseason, or at least 449 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 2: rumors flying between these two teams that maybe that deal 450 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 2: could have happened for the really good Louis Castillo. 451 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 3: I'm sure the Mariners. 452 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 2: Are pretty glad that they didn't end up figuring something 453 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,959 Speaker 2: out because right now, Aj they are humming and I mean, 454 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 2: this is a top five offense by most metrics at 455 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 2: the moment. Ken Rosenthal let off fair territory talking about 456 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: a Seattle team that's one, I think, nine straight series 457 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 2: in a row, first place in the AL West, off 458 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 2: to an awesome start. All you got to do is 459 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 2: sign Raddy Tulez and not put some weird plate appearance 460 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 2: incentives around it and screw them over at the end 461 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 2: of the season like the Pirates. 462 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: Mariners are doing it right now. Give them credit in 463 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: this move. I guess it helps the Oriols. They need 464 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: more arms. They're beat up big time, but no Mariners. 465 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Orioles are thirteen and twenty two. Now they've 466 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 2: dropped a couple here to the Twins. Another tough loss yesterday. 467 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 2: It's getting late early. This is the prime example of, Hey, 468 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: you can lose a season this early in the season. 469 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 2: You have a lot of ground to make up. The 470 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 2: AL East in general, Kratz is not in a great spot. 471 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 2: Besides the Yankees and the Red Sox. 472 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 7: Everybody's gonna look at the Astro. All the Astros struggled 473 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 7: last year. 474 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 6: The Astros had six years of history of making the playoffs, 475 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 6: making a bunch of World Series during that time. 476 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 7: The Oos don't have that. 477 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: Okay, Kratz, you want to help us explain what happened 478 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 2: in the Red Sox game yesterday? Alex Korra said that 479 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 2: he was confused the call of the runner safe at 480 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 2: first stood after they went to replay. This went semi 481 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 2: viral on Foul Territory's Twitter account. 482 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 3: What did you see? 483 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 6: That's all play? That tanner Houck didn't set his feet 484 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 6: to throw. He tried to just launch it right here. 485 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 6: The first baseman does not have control of the baseball, 486 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 6: so being in the runner's lane, he becomes its interference, 487 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 6: and if the runner is not able to touch first base, 488 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 6: he is considered safe, or else you would just have 489 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 6: the first baseman stand in front of the base until 490 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 6: he gets the ball. The guy would have to run 491 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 6: around him or slow down. And so it's basically, I 492 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 6: don't know the exact verbiage, but because he was he 493 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 6: impeded his route to first base without having control of 494 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 6: the ball. 495 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 7: He's considered safe even though he did not touch the base. 496 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: I mean, you're right. What you said was right. I 497 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 1: mean because people with Boston's arguing is he got the 498 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: ball back and touch the base before Wyat Langford was 499 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: able to get there, and I think it was White. Yeah, 500 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: it was White Langford. 501 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 7: They did it. 502 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: I mean, wire Lancers should have just trucked him. But 503 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: is this the problem with Boston's first basement. They don't 504 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: know what they're doing because they've never played over there, right, Like, 505 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: it goes back to that they got. I think it 506 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: was Romy Gonzalez. He's never he's really never played over there, 507 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: so this is their first basement. This is what they got. 508 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: So I mean, this is all goes back to that. 509 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: I mean, they they won the game and cost me 510 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: my my over under. But that's fine. 511 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 6: And another thing for kids who are watching, if we 512 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 6: show the replay again, the ball's on the ground, don't 513 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 6: pick the ball up with your glove. You have a 514 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 6: first basement's mid especially pick it up with your bare hand. 515 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 6: If he picks it up with his bare hand and 516 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 6: his foot's on the base, he's trying to he's trying 517 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 6: to find it, find it right. Yeah, so yeah, it's 518 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 6: part of it. But this isn't I mean, it was 519 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 6: help throw an absolute lawn dark to him. So that's 520 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 6: not fair either. But actually maybe it wasn't that bad. 521 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 6: He was stretched inside the baseline there. Hey, everybody says, 522 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 6: you know what this guy struggles in the outfield, move 523 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 6: him the first Oh, on this catcher's off day, just 524 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 6: play him at first base. First base is well, it's 525 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 6: not a very valued position from a analytics standpoint. You 526 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 6: need to know how to play first base. It is 527 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 6: not as simple as people think. 528 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, even a week spent. If you spent 529 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 2: a week and you watch Christian Walker play first base 530 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 2: over the last five years, and then for example this season, 531 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 2: you watch Tristan Cossis play first base for a week, 532 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 2: you can see how much of an impact it makes 533 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 2: in a game where I don't know if numbers are 534 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 2: doing the position justice aj. I mean you're affecting every 535 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 2: ground ball essentially in the infield, And I mean if 536 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 2: you watch a game, you're gonna see multiple times often 537 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: per game, it make a huge difference, whether it's a pick, 538 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 2: it's footwork, it's position right for your second basement, how 539 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 2: much ground you're covering. I mean, there are some guys 540 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 2: that really stand out. It just it doesn't get a 541 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 2: lot of love from the analytics staff. It's true, right, 542 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 2: I know Walker discussion yesterday, but that's why watch Walker. 543 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: Do you think they signed Christian Walker versus Joseah Brady 544 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: who was there? Jose Brady could hardly when he was 545 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: there at the end. He could barely even catch a 546 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: ground ball, for get a ball in the dirt, right, 547 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: I mean, the guys that can pick the ball aren't valuable. 548 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: You can't put a you know, we try to put 549 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: a number on everything, but you can't put a value 550 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: on guys that can pick the ball. I mean, until 551 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: someone comes up with a stat that tells me, like 552 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: this guy's a better at this or that at first base, 553 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna be undervalued. And it's a shame because the 554 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: guys that can really pick it and can hold down 555 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: that place every day and hit should be worth a 556 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: lot of money. 557 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 6: Outs Above average defensive runs saved are not kind to 558 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 6: first baseman. Christian Walker has been the best for the 559 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 6: last three years statistically, and he's like he I mean 560 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 6: he's already been eclipsed by all positions, by the best 561 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 6: position players at other positions. First base, the value for 562 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 6: you is all in your range, and you're never supposed 563 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 6: to go to your right if you have a second 564 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 6: basement that covers a lot of ground, because you're always 565 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 6: going to your left to cover first base. If they 566 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 6: put a value and I've seen teams that use data 567 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 6: on balls thrown to you, that is where there's so 568 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 6: much value. Yes, the one rate here super easy, you 569 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 6: should catch it, But that's like docking. A catcher who 570 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 6: catches the ball right down the middle for a strike, Well, 571 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 6: you know what, he didn't have anything to do with it. 572 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 6: Technically you do. And so then they created a value 573 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 6: around the edges for first baseman, and that value goes 574 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 6: through the roof when you have a guy that can 575 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 6: get everything because you have so many throws thrown to 576 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 6: you that it is a very undervalued thing to be 577 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 6: able to catch the ball at first base on a 578 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 6: consistent basis. 579 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 3: Why can't you run a guy over on that play? 580 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: He can, he can, but he wasn't. I mean by 581 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: Langford's too nice. He should have went back to his 582 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: Trenton High School football days and just smashing them out 583 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: of been awesome. Florida versus Miami. We know who's gonna 584 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 1: win that fight. You can run a catcher over still, 585 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: everyone says buster or posey rule, blah blah blah. If 586 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,959 Speaker 1: the catcher is standing in the lane and he doesn't 587 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 1: have the ball. Even if he does have the ball, 588 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: you can still run over. You just cannot divert your 589 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: path out of the base path to hit the catcher anymore. 590 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 6: You can run him over. It's not a collision free league. 591 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 6: It is a almost collision free league. 592 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 7: Mm hm. 593 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: No, it's collision free because they don't teach guys to 594 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: go get guys anymore. So it's clear. 595 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:46,959 Speaker 7: It used to be. 596 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I remember, you knew the guys they were 597 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: coming around third, they were coming to get you, and 598 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: that was fine. I knew it. Let's go come get 599 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: some want some Scott. 600 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 7: Scott would not make it me. 601 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, you're trying to run one of us over. I'm sorry, 602 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 6: I wouldn't. It wouldn't work. 603 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 2: I mean, also, you still have to have a brain. 604 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 2: I think when you know, the word now is avoidance, 605 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 2: but it was collision back then. But I mean, be 606 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 2: smart about your collision. I mean, if you're trying to 607 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 2: run into a huge dude and you don't have the momentum, 608 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 2: you might want to think twice about what you're doing. Right, Yeah, 609 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 2: I'm going to think about who I'm trying to truck stick. 610 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 2: So no, I think there's something to it. But right now, 611 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 2: to me, it means avoidance, right like, oh, someone's in 612 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 2: the way, let's avoid this, which the injury prevention part 613 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 2: I get. We have enough injuries in the game. It's 614 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 2: pretty annoying right now, So that part I understand. You know, 615 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 2: even if it's the aggressor that's running into a player 616 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 2: and he's allowed to be running into that player and 617 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,719 Speaker 2: he gets hurt, it's like, damn, was that worth it? 618 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 2: So I get that part, but still I do miss 619 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 2: a little bit of it. Ft FAM, we're excited to 620 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 2: introduce you to row Back with the subtle dog logo 621 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 2: and two stripes on the back of every product. 622 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 3: Krats, what do you rock for us? 623 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 6: I'm rocking the polo, which never feel like a T 624 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 6: shirt until now.

He had gotten one interview. 637 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 6: Why he didn't get any others? He was like, you 638 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 6: know what, maybe it's gonna put myself out there enough. 639 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 6: They live in Pittsburgh from he married. He married, uh 640 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 6: Neil Walker's sister, so like there's that like Pittsburgh royalty 641 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 6: that they're there.

I could see 647 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 3: him being a coach some day. 648 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 7: No, he's on TV. 649 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 2: I know he's on TV. But you could still hop 650 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 2: from TV. Hey, Brett Boone just hopped from podcast World 651 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,120 Speaker 2: to go you can. 652 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: But why would why would why would Neil Walker want 653 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:26,959 Speaker 1: to do that? 654 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 3: Not with this team. 655 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 2: I mean, if your task is trying to fix this offense, 656 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 2: you're setting yourself up for a bad looking resume right 657 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 2: off the jump of your coaching career. 658 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 3: It's true. 659 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 6: The coaches coaches don't. Coaches don't haven issues. Bench coaches. 660 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 6: They never get to blame. It's the managers to get 661 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 6: to blame, and they didn't coaches. And the paychecks, well, 662 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 6: the pirates are the theme of the day. 663 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 2: So I don't want to overlook how much ship has 664 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 2: gone on for this franchise in the first six weeks 665 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 2: of the season, because sometimes even during their tanking rebuild days, 666 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 2: they'll start twelve and eight, people will get excited and 667 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 2: then I'll kill their hopes. 668 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 3: But this time. 669 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 2: Around, I mean, the on field product's bad. They're switching 670 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 2: the manager. I don't think that's going to make a 671 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 2: huge difference. They had the Roberto Clemente wall issue, the 672 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 2: steps or whatever that was, the bricks that they messed up, 673 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 2: and then. 674 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 3: The latest you got to google it. 675 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 2: We're not going to show it, but there was a 676 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 2: there was a big fight with an employee and some 677 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 2: fans that seemed like they were getting out of hand 678 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 2: and that's going to turn into some type of lawsuit 679 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 2: or something, and it was pretty bad. I don't know 680 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 2: all the context, but aj it is piling up. They 681 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 2: have had a season's worth of chaos in six weeks. 682 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: Did you talk about when the owner walked through the 683 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 1: stands on opening day? Did you mention that one and 684 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: then sell the team and all that you did? Forgot 685 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: about that one, but the guy the guy fell over 686 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: the rail, and I mean, wow, it was. It's been 687 00:32:55,720 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: a rough start for the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. So I 688 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe the Steelers will be better if they 689 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: traded George Pickens the Cowboys. I don't know. I just 690 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: don't know what there is to look forward to in Pittsburgh, 691 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: because especially on the Pirates side of the stadium's great 692 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: and it's wonderful and it's got great views. But they 693 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: messed up the Clemente sign. I mean, it's just one 694 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 1: thing after another and at some point you got to 695 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: change something and I don't know what that is, but 696 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 1: we all know what they say where a fishting's from? 697 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 3: What's up? Hey, A J. 698 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 2: I know you hate wins and losses, but Robbie Ray 699 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 2: is the first. 700 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 3: It's me. 701 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 2: Robbie Ray is the first Giants pitcher to go five 702 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 2: and zero the first eight starts of a season since 703 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 2: Tim Linsey come in twenty ten. Just wanted to give 704 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 2: some love to Robbie Ray. That's looking like a good 705 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 2: trade for the Giants right now. You can never have 706 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 2: enough starting pitching depths. That was a money dump move 707 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 2: in my mind from the Mariners a couple of years ago, 708 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 2: and it's really paying dividends for the Giants. Mariners are 709 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 2: in a great spot all for them. But I was 710 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 2: one that shredded that trade back then because I thought 711 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,479 Speaker 2: that the Giants picked up a guy who went healthy. 712 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 2: AJ is one of the better swinging miss pitchers in baseball. 713 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:10,919 Speaker 3: If you can locate. 714 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: No the whole well, no, here's the bottom line, the 715 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 1: rug you're righty. Does he throw it over the plate? 716 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: That's it, throw it over the plate. If he throws 717 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: it over the plate, he's really good. And that's the 718 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: big thing for him right now is his walks are down. 719 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 1: Is the only I mean He has twenty three walks 720 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: in forty four innings, which doesn't seem that great, but 721 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: for him, that's pretty good because he strikes out a 722 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: lot of guys. He doesn't give up a lot of contact, 723 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 1: hard contact. So the whole key for him is throw 724 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 1: it over the plate, Robbie. If he throws it over 725 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: the plate, he's usually pretty darn good. So throw it 726 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: over the plate, Robbie, you got a chance to be 727 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:42,399 Speaker 1: really good. 728 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:49,439 Speaker 6: Throwing strikes shocker on the mound, Throwing strikes his cy 729 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 6: young ear. He only had fifty two walks in one 730 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 6: hundred and ninety three innings. Other yeah, I mean he 731 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 6: was punching. He was getting seventy eighty sixty some walks. 732 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 6: It's just too many. He's got good enough stuff to 733 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 6: get outs in the zone, and that's rare in baseball. 734 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 6: If you continue to do it, that's how you win syongs. 735 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:12,800 Speaker 3: For the people. 736 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 2: All right, let's go over tipping for a moment. It 737 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 2: comes up every once in a while. AJ, I know 738 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 2: you caught John Boy breaking down some Nick Povetta tipping 739 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 2: that was going on. 740 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 3: So what did you see. 741 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: Well, here's my thing with this. First of all, I 742 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 1: don't know you guys answered this for me, and I 743 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: just want to know, is it okay for somewhere like 744 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 1: John Boy to call out Nick Povetta for tipping and 745 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: go through it. I don't know, because I know I've 746 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: been a part of games where I know a guy's 747 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: tipping and then we don't really talk about it, and 748 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: it's like it's one of those things where you don't 749 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: say it because you don't. And I know this is 750 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: on ex Twitter, so maybe it's a little bit different. 751 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: Before I dig into this, do you guys have an 752 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: opinion on whether it's okay for them to call this 753 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: guy out and show everybody what he's doing before someone 754 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: on a team says something. 755 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 7: I don't think it's an issue. 756 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 6: I've heard you say that before, maybe live game, when 757 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 6: you're calling a live game and you see it. To me, 758 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 6: that's kind of affecting the game or the I don't 759 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,240 Speaker 6: want to say gamesmanshit. 760 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 7: But like you're you're in. 761 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 6: That game and if somebody has it on in the clubhouse, 762 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,800 Speaker 6: they're like, wait, what did he say. It's kind of 763 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 6: like the whole Kenny Rodgers thing where we had the 764 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 6: had the pine tar on his hand and then the 765 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,120 Speaker 6: next inning it was gone, like they made a big 766 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,359 Speaker 6: deal of it. So maybe in the game I can 767 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:30,320 Speaker 6: see why on Twitter or something, somebody finds it, somebody 768 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 6: tips somebody else off. To me, I don't have an 769 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 6: issue with it. It's happening. There's guys on teams that 770 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:42,959 Speaker 6: are employed almost solely to do that, and they are 771 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 6: pouring over video and saying figuring out tips. 772 00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 2: From guys exactly. So AJ, I'm pretty strong on this one. 773 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 2: For me, it's public domain right, like it's going on. 774 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,800 Speaker 2: Anyone can see it. So the best people at cracking 775 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 2: it are, like crack said, guys that are getting paid 776 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 2: to do it, and then no one finds out about it. 777 00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 2: So if I'm a pitcher, I would love for a 778 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 2: fan to point out that I'm tipping to catch that 779 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 2: instead of my division rival knowing it all season long 780 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 2: or the entire league knowing it all season long. 781 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: The pitcher savvy, but all the hitters are pissed because 782 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: they're like, damnit, he sold us all out. We had something. 783 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: And I mean Pavetta obviously isn't affecting him that much 784 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 1: because he's out to a great start, so that I 785 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 1: don't know, it's just a simple question. No, let's get 786 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 1: back to what actually happened on the field. It was 787 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 1: giants and padres and Nick Pavetta's pitching. Patrick Bailey was 788 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: on second Eric six's favorite catcher, and when he grabbed 789 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 1: his shirt, fastball, and when he grabbed tapped his helmet 790 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 1: like that breaking ball. And then the pitching coach saw 791 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: it and went out to the mound like right there, 792 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: grabs his shirt, tries to do the whole light. Oh, nobody, 793 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: look at me. I'm just relaxing my arms. I'm gonna 794 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: go helmet here. Blah blah blah. Oh there we go. Well, 795 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,239 Speaker 1: you know, do the arm thing like, come on, like, 796 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,359 Speaker 1: don't all make it so obvious. The catcher sees it. 797 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 1: The pitching coach comes out, Look, let's do the old stretch, 798 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,479 Speaker 1: eat of the arm thingy. I'm gonna give the high target. Huh, 799 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: just kidding. Breaking ball. Pitching coach Rubn Diieoblo comes out 800 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: and goes, we gotta change something up here. Brother changes 801 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,240 Speaker 1: the way he loads in his glove. Patrick Bailey can't 802 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 1: see it. Can't do the shirt, can't do the helmet, 803 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 1: can't do the whole Uh, don't really look at me. 804 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: But everybody look at me while I wave my arms 805 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: around and then he punched him out and Nick Pavetta 806 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: walked off the mountain was like, hey, Patrick, good job, 807 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 1: you screwed your own hitter because you couldn't get that one. 808 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think it's funny, but let's 809 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: not make it so obvious. Giants like hey, guys, hey guys, 810 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 1: look at me, look at me right so right here, 811 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't know what's coming. He takes a heater right 812 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 1: down the middle. Pavetta turns right around and goes, what 813 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: you got now, bro? Again, John Boyd does a better 814 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: job of breaking it down than I just did. But 815 00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,959 Speaker 1: I don't know. Those things used to get contentious, man, 816 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: if you caught a dude. I mean, I were times 817 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: when I walked out to the mound act like I 818 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 1: was had the rosin bag in my hand, and I 819 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: was like, stop giving signs. We're gonna change him. You're 820 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: gonna get someone hurt, or you're someone else on your 821 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: team is gonna get hurt because we're gonna take care 822 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 1: of this, and that usually shut him down for a 823 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 1: little bit. But it's also on the picture and the 824 00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: catcher to know what's going on, so good on the 825 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: Podjets for changing it up, but bad on the Giants 826 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: were just making it so damn obvious. I mean, Patrick 827 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,680 Speaker 1: Bailey was the one, the one part of the video. 828 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: It's definitely worth going back and watching for everybody who 829 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 1: hasn't seen it. 830 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:24,319 Speaker 7: He's like. 831 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 6: Trying to like look trying to look over when he 832 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,560 Speaker 6: was holding his gloot like it wasn't even he wasn't 833 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 6: trying to hide it at all. Like that's why I 834 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 6: love I loved getting on second base. I rarely got 835 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 6: on second base, but when I did, I love like 836 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,600 Speaker 6: moving around and like getting people to think, if you 837 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,880 Speaker 6: can get the catcher because we didn't have mound visits 838 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 6: most of my career, get the catcher to come out 839 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 6: to change the signs. You kind of did your kind 840 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 6: of did your due diligence, you did your gamesmanship. I 841 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 6: just think it's a it's something that is part of 842 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,399 Speaker 6: the game. And when guys would be like, hey, we're 843 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,799 Speaker 6: gonna hit somebody, like AJ's talking about, okay, we'll hit 844 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 6: somebody if we got somebody on first, like it's always 845 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 6: gonna happen. You're gonna change your signs, And then they're 846 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,839 Speaker 6: gonna try to relay them again. You're gonna change how 847 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 6: you're moving your feet. It's part of the game. It's 848 00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 6: not just hey, throw the ball, Hey catch or catches it, 849 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 6: throw it back to the pitcher. There's stuff going on 850 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,960 Speaker 6: all the time. And that's when you see young guys. 851 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 6: The game's speeding up on them because they're not seeing everything. 852 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 6: All they're seeing is throw the strike, catch the strike. 853 00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 2: And from a fan perspective, that's fun for early may ball. 854 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,400 Speaker 2: That's fun. Keeps things exciting in a game that otherwise, 855 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 2: you know, could be who hum during a regular season. Hey, 856 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 2: there's a long season kind of situation. It's fun to 857 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 2: pick that stuff out. 858 00:40:49,480 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 3: So that was good. That was fun. All right, we're 859 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 3: going full circle here. 860 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,919 Speaker 2: We started off the show without knowing who the pope 861 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,400 Speaker 2: would be, and now we know that the Pope is 862 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 2: I think a. 863 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 3: Cubs fan, even though the picture that we put here, 864 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 3: I don't think. 865 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 1: They know he's a Villanova fan. I think though didn't 866 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: he wasn't he in charge of Villanova there for a 867 00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,359 Speaker 1: little while the Villanova area, So he's a Villanova fan. 868 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 3: I mean, we've been on the show the entire time 869 00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 3: that he's been announced, So I've done zero homework so 870 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 3: far in the Pope. 871 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,520 Speaker 1: I just know he was born in Chicago and he 872 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 1: worked in Peru, which you haven't been. If you haven't 873 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 1: been to Peru, it's pretty awesome. Macha Picci is well 874 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 1: worth the visit. So but yeah, he's he's a Chicago 875 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 1: born in Chicago, but he worked at Villanova, I believe 876 00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 1: for a while. You know, it's being reported he's a 877 00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: Cubs fan, but you know, Cubs fans have been known 878 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: to get in high positions and mess it up, So 879 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: don't mess it up, Pope Leo the fourteenth. By the way, 880 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,560 Speaker 1: if I was Pope, wouldn't I want to take a 881 00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 1: name where I was the first?
