11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: I honestly all the time that I spent I spent

12
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: four games in Jupiter, this entire east coast, So this

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: is all new for me. Four games in high A,

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: I sat on the bench and watched games, But this

15
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: is all new for me out here. The sun is

Speaker 3: Okay.

35
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: I think I think they're gonna be fine.

36
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: The old the old elbow to the face, ninety two

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: minter hour speedball, when you thought it was gonna be

38
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: a breaking ball, I think it'll be Okay, it's just

39
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: a bruise.

40
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: The X race came back negative, so exhale.

41
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 5: Those are those are scary. Those are scary.

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 6: I mean listen, people are be like, oh, it's ninety

43
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 6: two miles an hour. No, I mean, any any pitch,

44
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 6: even a breaking ball, if it hits the right spot,

45
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 6: it's gonna do some damage to spin on the ball.

46
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 5: Bruises are good. We don't mind bruises, you know, for anybody.

47
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 6: So whether it's Bryce Harp for anybody else, that was

48
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 6: way up there too, and you can see Love Lady

49
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 6: was you know, he was distraught a little bit. He

50
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 6: knew he made a mistake and that's part of the game,

51
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 6: of course. And this ball was really really close to

52
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 6: the chin and it got him on a good piece

53
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 6: of the you know, four arm arm area popped his

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 6: helmet off too, as we're seeing here. Scary moment. You know,

55
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 6: lefties got to control a little bit and sometimes it

56
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 6: gets away. But that is baseball. I hopefully he'll be okay.

57
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 4: I think the key that you brought up there, Todd Father,

58
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 4: was close to the chin right eight. I mean, that

59
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: could have been a lot worse if it was just

60
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: a hair what up down left?

61
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: Right?

62
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: It was close close to coming problem.

63
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 6: And this is this is this is the tough that

64
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 6: I mean, this is the part about spring training that

65
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 6: you don't like because guys are just starting to get back.

66
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 6: Then you get a minor leader that comes in that

67
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 6: really hasn't pitched. Yeah I'm not I'm not saying he is,

68
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 6: but you get these guys coming in, you know that

69
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 6: aren't totally one hundred percent effective when I mean effective

70
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 6: throwing strikes, and you know some guys as well coming

71
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 6: and you're like all right man. I just want to

72
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 6: see some pitches here, see maybe a little tilt on

73
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 6: a breaking ball, and then boom, one comes up and

74
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 6: in on the chin area.

75
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 5: Scary little moment, but.

76
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 6: You know, hopefully it's something that doesn't happen too often

77
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 6: here in spring training.

78
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: When Bryce Harper is going to see lefties, you're trying

79
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: to get used to seeing lefties for the regular season.

80
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: What do you have to do when you're left and

81
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: left You got to keep that front shoulder in and

82
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: I know he kind of like he even kind of

83
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: like opened up a little bit on it, but that

84
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 1: was because it just last second reaction. But he's trying

85
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: to stay as closed as he possibly can this early.

86
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: Like you're like, I gotta be extreme with it so

87
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: I can stay on that breaking ball. And you know,

88
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: it happens, but you gotta you almost kind of want

89
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: to get it out of the way. I remember Brandon

90
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: Moss used to come into live batting practices. We played

91
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: together for three straight seasons, and he goes, he goes,

92
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: I want the first dude and live VP before games

93
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: even start. I want the first dude to hit me.

94
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: So Joe Blanton came in there and Joe's like, what

95
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: you want me to do?

96
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: What? He goes? Hit me?

97
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: He goes, are you serious? He goes, yeah, I have

98
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: to realize that it hurts, but I'll be okay. So

99
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: Joe's like, all right, cool. First one comes inside and

100
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: misses him. He's like, Brandon Moscus, yeah he almost got me.

101
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: Next one and everybody, all the fans are watching. They

102
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: all go ooh, and Moss is like, he goes, looks

103
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: at him, goes thanks.

104
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: Obviously always positive, but man, you gotta get it out

105
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 2: of the way. Not the way that Harper wanted to

106
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: get it out of the way.

107
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: So Brandon Moss is happy Gilmore.

108
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: He's definitely three hundred and sixty five more days. Wait,

109
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty four more days till next hockey season.

110
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: Wait, but doesn't happy. At one point, go into.

111
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: The batting cage and just get you. That's what he says.

112
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: I'm just giving more detail for the kiddos who probably

113
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,559
Speaker 4: don't even know the movie.

114
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: At this point, he's a hockey player. He's a hockey

115
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: player that ends up playing golf. And then you sit

116
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: there and he's in the batting cage after hockey tryouts,

117
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: which he got cut by because he's got in a

118
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: fight during hockey tryouts and he goes, he goes, stands

119
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: in there in a pitching machine and just lets the

120
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: ball hit him three.

121
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: Hundred and sixty four more days till next hockey season.

122
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's Brandon Moss.

123
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 3: Got toughen up. That's awesome.

Speaker 4: close calls and he's had actual calls in the last

160
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 4: few years. So in twenty twenty two, left thumb broken

161
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 4: hit by pitch surgery, returned a couple months later twenty

162
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 4: twenty one. Hit in the face, not a serious facial injury,

163
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 4: not a concussion, but went on the IL a month

164
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: later with an injured left forearm, and apparently back then took.

165
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: Old time to get comfortable in the box again.

166
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: So rats, all of Philly kind of holds their breath

167
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: for a guy that they love dearly out there, right

168
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 4: I mean, give me the Bryce Harper story in Philadelphia.

169
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 4: Aside from the fact that he hasn't brought him a title,

170
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 4: he's no Jalen Hurts, yet.

171
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: There's there's constantly, there's constantly you know, what have you

172
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: done for me lately in Philly, And he's a guy

173
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: that has escaped that he's a guy they don't even

174
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: bring up the fact that he hasn't brought him a

175
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: title yet he's brought him pretty close. Like he's got

176
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: to pass in Philly right now, because he's performed, He's

177
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: come through in huge moments in the playoffs, and that's

178
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: all they remember. MVPs are cool, but to be on

179
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: that upper echelon, to be in that top five, that

180
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,479
Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore top four.

181
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: In Philly he wins.

182
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: He wins a championship, He'll never throwne Mike Schmidt unless

183
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: he wins two championships. But to go from being a

184
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: gnat that got a national that got hit by Cole

185
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: Hamil's and everyone was like boo Royce Harper to signing

186
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: in Philly and being what he is in that city,

187
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: it's been unbelievable because it is a tough city that

188
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: doesn't deal with ups and downs of baseball very well,

189
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: and everybody's gonna have those. This dude has been nothing

190
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: but their favorite. I mean he is he is the

191
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: guy there and you see threes all over the stadium

192
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: wearing his jersey.

193
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: That's right, number one goal of spring training in most cases,

194
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 4: keep your superstars healthy and on the field. Police, I

195
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 4: know you can't control where the baseball's coming from certain

196
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: pitchers on the mound, but Bryce did not look pleased

197
00:09:52,320 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 4: with mister Lovelady on that one.

198
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: The box scores.

199
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 4: Let's run through some things that you might have missed

200
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 4: from spring training. Will start with your boy Todd father

201
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 4: Mike Trout going long. You know, we had some interesting

202
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 4: combos earlier this week.

203
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: Whoa nice swing.

204
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 4: We had some interesting combos this week, Todd father you

205
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: were in here the other day, but Andrew McCutchen essentially

206
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 4: said he should accept a good amount of DH time

207
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 4: if he can just to stay on the field. And

208
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 4: because father time hits us all. What are your thoughts

209
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: on this swing? And Troudy, you know, having to look

210
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 4: in the mirror and be like, damn, I am probably

211
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: a top ten hitter, but I got to figure out

212
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 4: how to stay on the field.

213
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't think we're far from it.

214
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 6: I think we've also heard put in him in one

215
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 6: of the corner.

216
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 5: Spots as well.

217
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 6: Knowing him, I don't think he will would want to

218
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 6: do that, but I think he'd be up for it,

219
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 6: explaining I think he wants to be that guy in

220
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 6: centerfield that tracks the ball down. He feels like he

221
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 6: still can do it. I know he still can do it,

222
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 6: but will it be better for him in the long run.

223
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 6: I mean, you still got to run, You're still in

224
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 6: the outfield. You still got to find a way to

225
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 6: you know, back up throws and go track down balls.

226
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 5: I don't think it's far fetch at all. I mean, listen.

227
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 6: Every every you know, every three four days, put him

228
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 6: in a DH spot I don't see that being a

229
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 6: problem at all. I think he'll be fine with that,

230
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 6: and I think it will only help him. Again, you

231
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 6: are getting older, understandably do you want to be out

232
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 6: there the whole time yet? But you got to understand too,

233
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 6: you want to be out there for the full season.

234
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 6: So I think there's gonna be a lot of question

235
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 6: marks on that. I think there's gonna be a lot

236
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 6: of talks and conversations. And you know, he does he

237
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 6: kind of looks a little leaner to a little bit,

238
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 6: you know, not not as big and you know, bulky

239
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 6: as he is. I don't think he'll lose any power

240
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 6: to that, and I think he's gonna be just fine.

241
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 1: I think what somebody's I think when somebody's hurt and

242
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: like the narrative is always like, ah, if he just

243
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: stays in the field, I think you start to forget,

244
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: like what kind of player he is and says see

245
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: a homer this early. It puts people who are just

246
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: kind of casual and like haters like back in their place.

247
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: Don't don't forget he had a OPS plus of like

248
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: one forty I think last year. So you're sitting there

249
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: going this dude can still do it. How do we

250
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: get one hundred and sixty out of him? How do

251
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: we get the best one hundred and fifty out of him?

252
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: Because when he's out there, you don't just fall into

253
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: MVP aboards. And he said it before when he's on

254
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: the show, like, hey, you know what, I'm learning some

255
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: new things, things that will keep me out on the field.

256
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see what he can do because

257
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: he's he is, he's a Hall of Famer.

258
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean my bold prediction recently was MVP candidate

259
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 4: Mike Trout, obviously assuming he keep in mind on the field,

260
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 4: and that's a reminder that the talent is still very

261
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 4: much there. We haven't seen the talent dip off. You

262
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: see that with certain players. That has not been the case.

263
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 4: Some guys it's like they can't stay on the field

264
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 4: and you're not seeing the same guy anymore. That's most

265
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 4: players that start to hit that. Not seeing that yet

266
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 4: with Trout, So that's cool.

267
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 3: Hopefully he's good to go.

268
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 4: Okay, next up, Chicano debut for the Orioles to scoreless.

269
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: I think a lot's gonna be riding on this.

270
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 5: Dude.

271
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 3: Kratzy is more of your crafty six pitch guy, command control,

272
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 3: low strikeout, but should give a very different look to hitters.

273
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 4: I feel like sometimes this really works out and sometimes

274
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 4: it really doesn't.

275
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 3: So he was a stud.

276
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 4: I mean, Japan Central League MVP, huge, huge year overseas.

277
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: I know it's not the same once you come over

278
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 4: to the bigs, but they're really really high on this guy.

279
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 4: You know, I was looking at some of the metric right, like,

280
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 4: obviously it's a low blow guy.

281
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 3: In vert which is the sexy word.

282
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 4: For the fastball, also low vert fastball, so you're not

283
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 4: going to necessarily see this guy punching tickets at the

284
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,359
Speaker 4: top of the zone with his heater. But the sweeper

285
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 4: is super super effective, or at least looks like it's

286
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 4: going to be. It's got a ton of horizontal movement

287
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 4: on it, and I'll let you take it away for

288
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 4: the rest. Because we had a pretty good debate last

289
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 4: year about Imenaga, to me, this is very different.

290
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: I was very high on Immenaga. I'm more lukewarm on

291
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 3: this one.

292
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: But he's also not like twenty four, twenty six years

293
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: old and trying to like get his feet under him,

294
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: Like this is a veteran pitcher, who they brought in,

295
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: and he's going to give them innings. He's going to

296
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: give them something that they desperately needed. And he's also

297
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: not gonna be the guy that like, well, you know,

298
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: if Grayson struggles really early, like this is our number one,

299
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: there's not that kind of pressure on him. There's not

300
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: that kind of there's not that kind of expectation. But

301
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: when we were in Orioles camp, like some of the guys,

302
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: I talked to two of their catchers, Adlee and Gary,

303
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: and they were like, he knows what he's doing, Like,

304
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing, and it it alleviates that

305
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: issue of all right, we got to have a young

306
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: guy that comes up. Is this the you know, is

307
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: this a aging veteran who's not going to stay together.

308
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: It really seems like a very solidified spot for the Orioles,

309
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: which they needed.

310
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: Obviously.

311
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: I hope they would they would have gotten another number

312
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: one to pair with Grayson, but they haven't yet. Spring

313
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: training is still going. They're still dudes out there just

314
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: saying but to me, solidifies that four or five spot

315
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: for him, and that was something they needed too.

316
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 4: One year, thirteen million bucks for Chicano to be in

317
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 4: the Orioles rotation. Also, there are some teams that are

318
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 4: trying to open up relations with players coming from Japan. Again,

319
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 4: since the Dodgers have been dominating on that front. The

320
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 4: Cubs done a pretty nice job lately. But Todd Father,

321
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 4: I know the Phillies have been trying to recruit some

322
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 4: players from Japan and the Ools are starting to get

323
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 4: involved here too, So this is a big signing for them.

324
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: They wanted to work out.

325
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 4: Well, do you know the last player to sign out

326
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 4: of Japan to make it to the bigs for the Orioles.

327
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 4: It's in the two thousands. Oh yeah, good good, I asked.

328
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure, I asked Todd Father. I want him

329
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 4: to think about it. But it's like that kidding class

330
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 4: is like then you don't pick on him, and he

331
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 4: still is like coach Uhara nine.

332
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 6: I would not have guessed that. But yeah, we are

333
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 6: seeing a lot more of this. I mean, these guys

334
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 6: are polished, they're well polished, they're trained well, they're respectable,

335
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 6: and they can play the game of baseball and they

336
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 6: know how to pitch.

337
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 5: It just seems that you see it all the time.

338
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 6: You see a lot of American players go to Japan,

339
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 6: kind of polish themselves out, figure some things out, come

340
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 6: back a year or two later, and next thing, you know, boom.

341
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 6: You know, they're starting on another team. Will they be elite, No,

342
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 6: not necessarily, but they find ways and they find their

343
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 6: niches and they find basically you know, maybe let's try this.

344
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 6: They tailor their game to what they need and to

345
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 6: be back in the professional ranks. And Japan is no slouch.

346
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 6: It's right there with you know, professional baseball. They have

347
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 6: some really good ballplayers and the other ones too as well.

348
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 6: So we might see a lot more of this as

349
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 6: we are seeing a lot more come through in the

350
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 6: last couple of years.

351
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 4: Yep, let's get to or all this Chapman. You guys

352
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 4: both know him well, still feeling it? We don't know,

353
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 4: I know, because I think we're gonna say the same thing.

354
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 3: What's yours?

355
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: He's a monster exactly.

356
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: I was going to say.

357
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 4: He can lift monster trucks and probably does that as

358
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 4: part of his offseason training regimen. So if you'd like

359
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 4: to throw like or all this Chapman at his age too,

360
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 4: this guy's bringing it.

361
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: So he'll be in the Red Sox bullpen for me. Kratz.

362
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 4: This is the part of Boston that I'm probably most

363
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 4: concerned about right now is the bullpen.

364
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 3: To me, on.

365
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 4: Paper, it looks okay, But I can often be surprised

366
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 4: on bullpens.

367
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 5: You know.

368
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 4: Bullpens are volatile names that you don't think about at all,

369
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 4: can suddenly become studs for several years and be high

370
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 4: leverage guys.

371
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 3: It's just on paper.

372
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 4: I'm looking at Boston's bullpen and I'm like, that could

373
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 4: hold them back. That could be the part where they're

374
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 4: like they need to trade for some bullpen help at

375
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 4: the deadline.

376
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: One of the things we saw last year of Boston

377
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: was early on their rotation, you were like, okay, Paveta

378
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: Cutter Tanner, So you were sitting there and going, okay,

379
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: beyo's gonna take a next step. They know how to

380
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: get the most out of guys, and I think that

381
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: in bullpen or in organizations where the pitching staff, like

382
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: pitching coaches, know how to get the most out of guys.

383
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: It takes a couple of years to really unlock things

384
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: in the bullpen. I'm not saying from like, Okay, we

385
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: had this guy for three years. I'm saying, hey, we

386
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: want to look for this type of picture. We want

387
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: to think of the Brewers. Everybody in their bullpen last year,

388
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: besides Devin Williams was a DFA candidate. What are they

389
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: looking for? What is the thing that they look for?

390
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: And they're claiming these guys And that's why we don't

391
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: necessarily know all the bullpen guys. But what Boston did

392
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: was they kind of hedged their bet a little bit

393
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: and they were like, Okay, we know this this trajectory

394
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: that this player. We can get this extra value as

395
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: Todd loves it, surplus value out of this picture. And

396
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: we're also going to hedge our bet and get Liam

397
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: Hendricks early on. So now we have Liam for this year,

398
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: we're going to get a raw to us in free agency.

399
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: They don't need to dip into more of the free

400
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: agency because they can really get value out of these

401
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: guys that they're claiming out of the minor leagues and

402
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: all that stuff.

403
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 4: I mean, that's usually what I say for Todd father.

404
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 4: What's Tom Father's two favorite words? Oh, I go surplus value.

405
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: Uh.

406
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: He talks about that with everything in life. Yeah, He'll

407
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 3: be like.

408
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 4: To his kids, it'll be like, give me an extra

409
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 4: you know, give me an extra candy bar surplus value. See,

410
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 4: I got an extra kid. I get to take an

411
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 4: extra candy bar and get away with it.

412
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 3: Now, I'm kidding you.

413
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 4: Go all right, let's get to your boy top father.

414
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: Rowdy Tellez is on the.

415
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 4: Mariners, and I think he's going to crack that roster.

416
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 4: Signed a minor league deal, put together a little four

417
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 4: hundred thirty two foot bomb yesterday in their spring training game.

418
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 4: One hundred and ten miles an hour off the bat.

419
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 4: Minor league contracts for Rowdy, who had a really rough

420
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 4: start with the Pirates in the first couple months last year,

421
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 4: but then picked it up until the end of the

422
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 4: season when they would have had to pay him a

423
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 4: little extra money. So of course they cut him to

424
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 4: save that for the yacht. But this dude is a

425
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 4: big league hitter.

426
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 3: Still.

427
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, he looks really good. If you want the truth,

428
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 6: you know, he's his body looks good. He looks like

429
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 6: he's in better shape as well. I think you said

430
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 6: it best. One hundred and ten miles off the bat,

431
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 6: the bats feed is still there. You cannot sneak cheese

432
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 6: past the rat. That's if it's one guy. As you know,

433
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 6: kind of like a Matt Stairs kind of guy. He

434
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 6: is ready to rip the ball and try and hit

435
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 6: a home run anytime, any place. And if you're gonna

436
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 6: try and blowing fastball a little bit up where he

437
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 6: likes to hit the ball, oh my, it's gonna go far.

438
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 5: So he did.

439
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 6: He looked a little slimmer around on the bases. He

440
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 6: looks focused and he's determined. You know, when you have

441
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 6: a little chip on your shoulder, guess what you're coming

442
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 6: in for a minor league stint. Basically they said, a

443
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 6: minor league contract. You're a little pissed. I'm gonna show

444
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 6: you why he should be on the big league team.

445
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 6: And right now that's a good start. His thirty bat,

446
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 6: going deep, going yammies, and good for him, man four

447
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 6: thirty two. That's the way to start off his spring

448
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 6: trading the season.

449
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: They need him, they they need him, they need if

450
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: the if the Marriners are not going to go out

451
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: and get guys, they need a guy like Rowdy to

452
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, I'll step up and I'll have my

453
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: every other good year like look and down here last

454
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: year he had thirteen Like you sit there and you

455
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: go this is a guy that had thirty five just

456
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: two years ago, and two he's kind of like an every.

457
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: Other year guy.

458
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: So maybe, especially since it's nice for lefties to hit

459
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: in Seattle, Like, hey, maybe he doesn't see the angled

460
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: batter's eye.

461
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 2: Who knows what to ask him?

462
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 5: Hmm.

463
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 4: We will definitely get rowdy on the show at some

464
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 4: point to ask him about that. Oh, Todd Father, remember

465
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 4: the good old days when we would have the cards

466
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 4: and the binders. But then they get all messed up

467
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 4: and we're trying to sell online and it's just real clunky.

468
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: They really actually weren't the good old days, were they?

469
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 6: No, they were definitely not. But now there's a better way.

470
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 6: The Arena Club has been dominant with this. They get

471
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 6: to trade your card, you could sell them, but the

472
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 6: best part for me is getting them graded. I love

473
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 6: everything about that, this new age of getting cards graded.

474
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 6: You could display them on your online showroom, your mobile device.

475
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 5: It's the coolest thing in.

476
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 4: The world, whether you're buying, selling, trading, or displaying. Arena

477
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 4: Club is the all in one trading card platform. You

478
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 4: have to sign up for an account at Arena club

479
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 4: dot com slash foul just like Todd Father mentioned there's

480
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 4: a process that combines AI and human grading to get

481
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 4: the job done right now, twenty percent off your first

482
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 4: slab pack or card purchase by going to Arena club

483
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 4: dot com slash foul use codefoul. That's arenaclub dot com

484
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 4: slash foul codefoul for twenty percent off your first purchase.

485
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 4: In the weeds means not much gets buy ft, but

486
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 4: this one did for a couple days.

487
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 3: Then we bring it to the weeds.

488
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 4: The story here from C Trent Rosecrans from The Athletic

489
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 4: on Terry Francona, who basically said, screwabs testing and spring trading.

490
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 4: All right, So the quote from Ta new Red Skipper

491
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 4: was we're not using it in the regular season, so

492
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 4: why work on a strategy we're not going to use

493
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 4: it just muddies the waters. He basically said that Red's

494
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 4: minor leaguers have the green light, but not big leaguers,

495
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 4: which is the entire reason why we have this going

496
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 4: in spring training. Just for clarification, Okay, we've been doing

497
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 4: this testing in the minor leagues for years. We have

498
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 4: it in spring training so that major leaguers can weigh

499
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 4: in on it. Give feedback vote on it, even if

500
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 4: the vote is fake and MLB's going to implement it anyway.

501
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 4: This is to give them some time to actually experience

502
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 4: it and say we like this, we love this. We

503
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 4: have comments about this, all good, but it's for big leaguers.

504
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 4: Big leaguers are different from minor leaguers. But I'll let

505
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 4: the two former big leaguers here chime in in.

506
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 5: Just a sec.

507
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 4: One more comment from Tito in the story. He said,

508
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 4: I'll be interested in seeing how it works, but I'm

509
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 4: okay with seeing our younger guys do it because they've

510
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 4: done it. It's not a strategy for us at the

511
00:24:59,200 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 4: major league.

512
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 3: Level, so why work on it.

513
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 4: I don't want to make a farce of anything, but

514
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 4: we're here getting ready for a season, and that's not

515
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 4: helping us get ready, Krats. We are trying to make

516
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 4: the game better. And you tell me, like, would this

517
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 4: really affect you? Like you guys are both vets. Did

518
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 4: this really affect you if your manager came to you

519
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 4: and was like, hey, you're going to be a worse

520
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 4: player this year if you're focusing on this thing that

521
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 4: is not going to be implemented yet, So don't do

522
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 4: it for the better of the game.

523
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we just had ali On Alli was just

524
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: sitting right here and he was like, I really don't

525
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 1: want my minor league guys doing and I want these

526
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: guys to kind of get used to it in case

527
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: it happens. Like you don't want to you don't want

528
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: to get ambushed by this. You don't want all of

529
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: a sudden be like, oh wait, we didn't work on this.

530
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: Now all we have is next year's spring training, because

531
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't see him implementing it during the season unless

532
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: it goes like crazy, crazy awesome, but you like an

533
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: extra spring training, it's not gonna take that much. To me,

534
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,160
Speaker 1: it would have helped me because it would have helped

535
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: me lock into the strike zone, which I wasn't good

536
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,400
Speaker 1: at controlling the strike zone, So it helped me lock

537
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: into that and not chase and be like, you know what,

538
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna work on figuring it out so maybe I

539
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: can use it in the game and then oh, okay,

540
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: get one of these. Oh I was right, Wow, there

541
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: is a lot more room out there. You know, I

542
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: don't need to chase that slider away to me. Yeah,

543
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not in the Tito's camp. I

544
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: like avoiding distractions, but I'm not in Tito's camp on

545
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: this one.

546
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, maybe it's just one of those things where it's

547
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 6: like his coaching methods. Like, Listen, I have my plans,

548
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 6: I have my set schedule. I want my guys to

549
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 6: do bang, bang and boom. I'm not really worried about

550
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 6: this right now. This is something that is not in

551
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 6: my possibilities. It's not a part of my plan. You know, Listen,

552
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 6: I don't know how to take it, but I think

553
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 6: you got you gotta talk about it at least and

554
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 6: maybe have some guys try it out for sure. But

555
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 6: you know, Tito's been very successful in what he's been

556
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 6: doing and where he's been coaching and managing, and he's

557
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 6: not going to steer away from that. He wants these

558
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 6: guys focused on, you know, finding a way to win

559
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 6: games and do you know, the little things to win

560
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 6: those games and not find a way to lose those

561
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 6: games early and often.

562
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 5: So this might be a little distraction for him, and

563
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 5: you know, so be it. No, it's time to move on.

564
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 6: But you know, what he's been doing over the years

565
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 6: has been has really it's been successful and at times

566
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 6: been very very good. So he's going to put this

567
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 6: one on the back burner and and you know, he

568
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 6: might just leave it as it is, just you know,

569
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 6: don't know really what else to say about that.

570
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 3: It's freaking spring training, Tito.

571
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 4: Relax, We're not asking you to dial in on every

572
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 4: pitch and freak out and put pressure on people to

573
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 4: use the system or not.

574
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 3: But at the same time.

575
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 4: Todd Father, it's just a casual Oh hey, I think

576
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 4: that was wrong. Let me do one of these, just

577
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 4: like you wouldn't maybe right if you're like I felt

578
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 4: like that one was off. Okay, cool, And even if

579
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 4: the Vets use it in the first couple of innings, fine,

580
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 4: But the other thing is it's going to be a

581
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,959
Speaker 4: part of our game by twenty twenty six. So if

582
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 4: that's the case, don't you want to have a little

583
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 4: bit of input, especially from someone who's been in the

584
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 4: game for a while. And also if there's any Vets

585
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 4: on the team that are like, yo, this is perfect.

586
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 4: Except there's one thing they really need to consider, and

587
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 4: it's this, because otherwise it's going to come next to

588
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 4: your kratz and you might get a complain about a

589
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 4: certain way the system's running.

590
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 5: The league should go.

591
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 3: Sorry about it.

592
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 4: You boycotted it in spring training and we brought it

593
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 4: there for you. Otherwise, why don't we just implement it

594
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 4: now in the regular season. Do you think I'm going

595
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 4: too hard? If everybody felt this way and did it,

596
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 4: then nobody would practice it in spring training and give input,

597
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 4: and then it would make the league worse. And then

598
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 4: also they could just implement it right away. I just

599
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 4: I think it's very shortsighted in not being a team

600
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 4: player with the league. And I would understand it if

601
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 4: it was really hurting the team or the development, but

602
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: it's not.

603
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: I was talking to a guy that has played under

604
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: the challenge system in the minor leagues for the last

605
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: however long they've had it. He's been down there, and

606
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: he's like, there are definitely things you have to get

607
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: used to it. It's not just the size of the zone.

608
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: It's the cadence of the game, and like you're in

609
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: that moment you're like, oh wait, you know, even when

610
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: you're used to it, you're not just like thinking ahead

611
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: of time, Okay, pitch, oh yeah yeah, challenge like this

612
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: pitch might be a ball, I'll challenge like, no, you like,

613
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: you have to get into the rhythm of it, and

614
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: I don't understand because you're not gonna see all the

615
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,479
Speaker 1: things that don't apply in games without actually using it.

616
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, they should totally use it. They need to

617
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: use it so that so that we can get big

618
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: leaguers on the Guardians, not just big leaguers on twenty

619
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: nine other teams, to give their input. Oh no, this

620
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: doesn't work, like we can't see this, or this is

621
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: a big league stadium, this doesn't isn't the same as

622
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: a minor league stadium. So I think I really think

623
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: it should I really think they should use it.

624
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: But hey, Tito's gonna be Tito.

625
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

626
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 4: And lastly, on a high note, some people commenting in

627
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 4: the chat about the beautiful topic bar at the bottom

628
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 4: of the screen, which features flowers that extend beyond the

629
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 4: square or the rectangle that they're placed in to give

630
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 4: you that three D futuristic vibe. Our big man behind

631
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 4: the scenes Jeremy A plus plus on this graphic.

632
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 2: Oh for sure, you.

633
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 4: See that top file, you can actually like pluck one

634
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 4: of the flowers out there.

635
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 5: You go love it.

636
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 4: Beautiful, beautifully nod by the way, very versatile and if

637
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 4: you're new to the party here, say, catching a show

638
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 4: for the first time this week, and you weren't with

639
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 4: us the last few days. There's some new sexy graphics

640
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 4: on your screen. There's some borders, like.

641
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 3: On the screen you're looking at right now that used

642
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 3: to have that red line. They're gone.

643
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 4: Just give you that smooth FaceTime feel. So there was

644
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 4: a lot of hard work put together behind the scenes.

645
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 4: Props on all right, ft fam, we'll be right back.

646
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 4: We'll go over some big boy debuts. Oh there it is.

647
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 4: See that Todd father. You haven't seen these?

648
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's beautiful.

649
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 3: You like that red, that red smoke in the back.

650
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 5: I like it. All to sign a spring to come.

651
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 5: Let's go.

652
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 3: Wins.

653
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 4: You can still bet on wins, folks. It's there for you.

654
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 4: So which pitcher will have the most wins in twenty

655
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 4: twenty five? Top names on the board Zach Wheeler plus

656
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 4: nine hundred, Trek School plus nine hundred, Paul Skins plus

657
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 4: one thousand, Chris Sale plus fourteen hundred, Corbin Burns plus

658
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 4: fourteen hundred. I know where I'm not going, Fellas.

659
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 2: Come on, Paul can win. Paul can win a lot

660
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 2: of games.

661
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 4: He can win a lot of games, but your chances

662
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 4: aren't as high looking for a banger team with a

663
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 4: big offense.

664
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: You're right, You're right, and that's my top and bottom.

665
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: That's why it's at nine hundred plus, nine hundred and

666
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: plus fourteen hundred. Burns and Wheeler. I feel like Burns,

667
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: I feel like the Diamondbacks are going to be a

668
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: focused team. People say, well, they're gonna lose some games

669
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: to Dodgers.

670
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right.

671
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: They're probably also gonna lose a game to the to

672
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: the Rockies. Corbyn Burns, Zach Wheeler to me, are the

673
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: are the values on there? They are the huge values.

674
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: Nothing against Chris Sale, Scooble. You know, I get it.

675
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: I get what those guys can do, but they're on

676
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: teams that have banger offenses and score for them. There's

677
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: plenty of games. Last year Tarrek Scouble was coming out

678
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: of the game winning one nothing. Well, that's not conducing

679
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: to the lead the league and wins.

680
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 5: Listen, see, I think you're you're spot on. I think

681
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 5: you're definitely there.

682
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 6: I think Chris Sale can have another spectacular year if

683
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 6: he's healthy two as well. You can't go wrong with

684
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 6: Zach Wheeler. This guy's an absolute stud. He's been doing

685
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 6: it for a lot of years now, and he has

686
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 6: the same stoic look on his face, and when he

687
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 6: does good or if he does bad, he goes out

688
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 6: there and just dominate. So seeing Zach Wheeler at the

689
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 6: top of that list put the smile on my face

690
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 6: and knowing that that could be easily an easy win

691
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 6: for most wins in Major League Baseball.

692
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 4: I like that when he gives the innings, he's a vet.

693
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 4: You don't have to be careful with him. I feel

694
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 4: the same way with Burns. I'm with you, Krat. So

695
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 4: if I'm picking one, I'm going Burns because I'm gonna

696
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 4: get the value at plus fourteen hundred, so I would

697
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 4: drop a hondo down on that one. And ft FAM

698
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 4: will continue to remind you about the one and a

699
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 4: half mil in guaranteed money that's being thrown out there

700
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 4: in the purse this week on those Poker Winter Online Championships.

701
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 4: It's actually over a several week period. It started already

702
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 4: still going for another week or so, so if you

703
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 4: want more details, just you can even just go to

704
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 4: Google and type in that MGM poker and see all

705
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 4: of the juicy details. Gotta be in Michigan or Jersey

706
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 4: or Pennsylvania if you want to face crafts. All right,

707
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 4: looking ahead, we got some debuts and some news show

708
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 4: how O Tani is going to appear in his first

709
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 4: spring training game on Friday against the Angels.

710
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 3: That's according to Dave Roberts. So that's cool. I get

711
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 3: to see o Tani take some swings.

712
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 5: That's great to.

713
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: See him swing. We saw we saw it happen all

714
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: last year. He's locked in. He doesn't need to take

715
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: any extra swings. I want to see Otani on the mound.

716
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: I want to see it. I don't want to see

717
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: bullpens off of plastic turf mound. I want to see

718
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: I want to see the big fellow sling in some

719
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: rocks up at the up there, and then I want

720
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: to see him hit dangers.

721
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 3: Agreed true.

722
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 4: Also on the topic of the Dodgers, so they go

723
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 4: to Tokyo, of course to play the Cubbies, and then

724
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,800
Speaker 4: they come back and then they've got their home opener.

725
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 4: I think it's on the twenty seventh, and that should

726
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 4: be Blake's snell, is what some are guessing.

727
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if they've officially. Did they officially announced

728
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 3: that or no? I think so, but it sounds like

729
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 3: it's a snell.

730
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 4: Okay, I think it's snell because you'll have Yamamoto and

731
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 4: Rookie Sasaki out in Japan, which is kind of mandatory

732
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 4: that they have the Japanese pitchers for the Dodgers pitching

733
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 4: in that game. Someone joked about that, and of course

734
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 4: I Minaga is going to pitch in one of the

735
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 4: games for the Cubbies. But on the other side, in

736
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 4: that opener matchup in LA. This one is official, and

737
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 4: of course it was never going to be anyone else

738
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 4: but Trek Scougle starts Opening Day for the Tigers. That'll

739
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 4: be their first game of the.

740
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 3: Year in LA. S Google against LA.

741
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 4: I'm kind of excited to bet on that game. I'll

742
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 4: think about it, but I just feel like Gooogle is

743
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 4: going to be hopping and poffin and he loves bringing

744
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,439
Speaker 4: it on the road, going up against the team that's

745
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 4: gonna go one hundred and sixty two and oh can

746
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 4: he put an l on the hoh against the Dodgers

747
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 4: Day one.

748
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: Scott, this is something to think about. We won't discuss it,

749
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: but something to think about. Are the two best pitchers,

750
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: Yamamoda and Roki Sasaki, and the Dodgers because no team

751
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: ever wants to give one game away.

752
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 2: I get it.

753
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: The Dodgers are gonna be fine. They can give you know,

754
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying giving them away. I just want fans

755
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: to think about it. We'll discuss it before their opener.

756
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: But are they the two best pitchers? Because teams are

757
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: throwing their best pictures games one and two in their season,

758
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: are they the Dodgers two best pitchers?

759
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 5: Yeah?

760
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 3: I mean no, no in both cases.

761
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 2: So why are they throwing extra.

762
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 3: Games because it's mandatory?

763
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: No, the Cubs are the If the cubs two best

764
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: pitchers are Imanagua and Tayon, the Cubs are gonna go

765
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: imenagu ti On and then the first two games of

766
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: the season, who are they throwing I and Tyan a break?

767
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 2: Like?

768
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: To me, I'm just saying. I'm just saying, don't let

769
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 1: don't let your don't let your your girth, of your

770
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: dearth of talent.

771
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 2: Get in the way.

772
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 6: You start your your top dogs. Right, Is that what

773
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 6: you're saying? Or you're not you're not agreeing with that?

774
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 5: Okay?

775
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 2: I wanted to run around you start, your.

776
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 6: Your top guys are going because then they'll be ready

777
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 6: to go. What what is that ten days later whatever

778
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 6: whatever it is. Yeah, maybe seven days later that they start.

779
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,319
Speaker 4: I think in some cases it matters. But I just

780
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 4: I get what you're saying. But those guys both can

781
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 4: be top end starters, and.

782
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 5: Yes, and that's why they're going to go through.

783
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 3: They're they're mapping out.

784
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 4: Hey, I got thirty starts for each guy or twenty

785
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 4: five or thirty five or whoever it is. So I

786
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 4: just feel like they map it out. Obviously, a million

787
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 4: things happen, they go wrong during the season. You're saying,

788
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 4: for example, if you feel like your top two arms

789
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 4: on that team are glass Now and Snell, they should

790
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 4: be pitching games one and two, and then they should

791
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 4: be pitching games one and two again because you get

792
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 4: to kind of double up.

793
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That's what every other team is doing.

794
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: And any team that's saying they're not doing that, I

795
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: would say they're lying, Like you have to throw your

796
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: best two guys.

797
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 5: Scott, imagine something else.

798
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 6: Imagine getting seven days off in between starts.

799
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 5: That's how good of a team. Wow, that's right?

800
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 4: Crazy, I get what Kratz is saying, and it's a

801
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 4: topic that's not going to get a lot of play,

802
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 4: but it's not off. It's just that those two talents

803
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 4: are still top end talents. The bigger debate would have

804
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 4: been if you know, those two are really clear cut,

805
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 4: back end starters, and you're like, oh, we got to

806
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 4: pitch him, but you're like, they're not as good, And

807
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 4: what if we don't make the playoffs by a couple

808
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 4: of games, or obviously with the Dodgers that's a pretty

809
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 4: tough sell, but what if we don't get the number

810
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:12,959
Speaker 4: one seed or something like that, and we look back

811
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 4: and you know, our top two dudes, we're not pitching

812
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 4: in those first two games. The case also can be

813
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 4: made for rookie Sasaki because you don't know what you're

814
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 4: gonna get yet. Do you remember Yamamoto last year against

815
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 4: the Padres?

816
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 3: That fast game is first big league started, got real fast.

817
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 5: So we talked about that.

818
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I know, and I know Chicago. He's gonna

819
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: see Chicago. He's be like Chicago, Kyle TiAl does he

820
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: play on this team?

821
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 2: Oh?

822
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: Oh different Chicago team, Like he's already Chicago has already

823
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 1: got It's one nothing on Chicago right now. I know

824
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: it's a White Sox, but Rookie's giving up a dinger.

825
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, as a team, as a competitor, you're

826
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: always looking to put your best team out there, your

827
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 1: best pitchers out there.

828
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 2: Probably more of a discussion when we get closer.

829
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's what this show's for. I don't hate it.

830
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 4: And and lastly, on our way out, I'm going to

831
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 4: work hard on teaching crats what the word dearth means,

832
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 4: because I think it means the opposite.

833
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: I said it the wrong way again. You had called

834
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: me on. I said it

835
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 3: Before a lot dearth a little, yes,
