1
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Here we go, Pap, great to see you. It's time, man,

2
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: all the fake games are done. It's time for real baseball. Baby,

3
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: let's do this Happy opening week to you. How you

4
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: doing and what are your expectations for the season here? Like,

5
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: did you see the ABS challenges floating left and right

6
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: and wish that you had those when you were pitching?

7
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: Well? First off was Hattening boys phrase, cratsy, what's happening? Man?

8
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: I do not wish the ABS was in affair because

9
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: I'll probably be challenging everything because I wanted every pitch

10
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: to go my way. But you know, for me, it's

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: gonna change a little bit of the landscape of the

12
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: betting world here. You know, I think this is advantage

13
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: to the hitters a little bit more to the pitcher,

14
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: and I think we're gonna start seeing some more runs

15
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: come across the plate this year than we did last year.

16
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna wait and see what happens. But I'm

17
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: gonna start tending to some of these overs a little

18
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: bit more. But I do like it. I think it

19
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 2: does give the umpires some kind of check, you know,

20
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: checks and balances for him. So we'll see how it goes.

21
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: The rest of the year, but so far I like it.

22
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can confirm, and I'm gonna talk this whole

23
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 3: time without blinking, so that you know what it looked

24
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 3: like to catch Jonathan papplebond in the ninth inning. I

25
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: can confirm that he was not going to get that

26
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 3: correct and I did blink there. Pap didn't blink the

27
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: entire ninth inning, and he would not blink during his

28
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: postgame interviews. He was not the guy to challenge because

29
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: he was just sitting there. Yeah, you didn't miss a lot,

30
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 3: but you didn't blink either, So no, we couldn't give

31
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: you the ABS challenge system.

32
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know. I mean for me though, it

33
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: all boils down to, you know, the hitters being able

34
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: to have an opportunity to challenge. I think the hitters

35
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 2: have a better view at balls at the plate, so

36
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: the advantages for the hitters. But you know, at the

37
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: same time, you know you looked at yesterday's Red Sox game,

38
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: I think the advantage was to the Red Sox, you know,

39
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 2: in that big inning when they were able to make

40
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: that big challenge. So we'll see some interesting games this

41
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: year for sure because of it.

42
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 4: All right, let's let's jump right into the game here.

43
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 5: Garrett Crochet had a awesome start, got out of a

44
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 5: big gem there in one of the innings, striking out

45
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 5: me and Gene and getting the next batter out to

46
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 5: it to strike out. Spring training didn't look good, and

47
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 5: I hope people understand that spring training is there for

48
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 5: reasons so people can get work. We're not worried about that.

49
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 5: He comes out, shoves, does what he does best, sing

50
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 5: sending eight.

51
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 4: K's over three heads.

52
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 5: Talk a little about his performance and him being the

53
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 5: ace again for the Socks.

54
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, fraise. This man has been needed in Boston for

55
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 2: a while now. They've been missing that ace, and last

56
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: year he came along and and you know, there's a

57
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: difference between a bona fide ace and someone that's trying

58
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: to be an ace. This guy's a bona fide ace.

59
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: I think the biggest thing that I saw yesterday from

60
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: his performance was he was able to get out of

61
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: some big jams, whereas before, you know, those big jams

62
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: tend to tend to roll over on them. And you know,

63
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: for me, I love seeing that. I love seeing him

64
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: be able to get out of the jams. And you know,

65
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: he was throwing his cutter to get out of his jams.

66
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: Well this year, this free training, you know, he's he's

67
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: trying to throw this split finger a little bit more.

68
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 2: He's starting to kind of tweak his his split finger

69
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: a little bit more instead of a true change up.

70
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: Now I'm not sure exactly how he's throwing it, but

71
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: I'll find out come open the day in Boston. I'm

72
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: gonna find out how he's throwing it. Because I threw

73
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: my split as a true two seam split. But I

74
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: think that if Garrett Crochet can add a split finger

75
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: or some sort of a split to his repertoire, it's

76
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: gonna take him to the moon. Man. He this Everything

77
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: he throws is hard, right, And I think when a

78
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: hitter gets in the box they can they can put

79
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: it into one gear and kind of think, okay, I'm

80
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: gonna see everything hard. But when a hitter has to

81
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: sit there and say, oh wait, I have to change

82
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: gears for a ten mile an hour pitch or difference

83
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 2: between a ten mile an hour pitch, that makes it

84
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: a lot harder. So I'm looking for him to dominate

85
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: this year. I should have taken him from my cy

86
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: young candidate this year for the ft bets for within

87
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: the company, but I didn't. I took pauls Keens. So

88
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 2: that's not looking too good so far. But I'm really

89
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: excited to watch this guy dominate this year.

90
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 3: Well, you can take Paul Skeens and Crochet. I took

91
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: Paul Skins and Crochet because you had the NL and AL,

92
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 3: so you clearly went that. You clearly went scooball in Ao,

93
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: you're such a chalk, You're you're so chop. But what

94
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 3: is that What does that pitch need to look like

95
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 3: for for fans to say, Okay, this change up splitter,

96
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: whichever whichever he's gonna call it, What does that velocity

97
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 3: change need to be? Because I completely agree. I think

98
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 3: he throws everything just so freaking hard and if you

99
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: can just square it up, you'll be able, you'll be

100
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: making able to make contact. But we're talking about a

101
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: guy who's going from like a number one to like

102
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: an ace like not that he's washed to like a

103
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: number one. What does that is that splitter need to

104
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: look like early in the season for him to trust it,

105
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: Because that's the biggest thing is pitchers don't trust their

106
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 3: new or their pitches that they're throwing a different way

107
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: coming into a new season.

108
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, first of all, I think he has to

109
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: start throwing it in situations that matter and gain that

110
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: confidence in it, you know. But for me, there has

111
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: to be an eight to ten mile an hour difference.

112
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: And you know, from from Cratzy to Vertec, to choose

113
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 2: to any any one of my catchers, I used to

114
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: tell them, you know, make sure that I throw my

115
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: change up with some velocity that has less than what

116
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 2: my fastball does, so because I wanted to look like

117
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: my fastball. But you know, I think at the end

118
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: of the day, if he stays between that eight to

119
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 2: ten mile an hour range difference, he'll be good. But

120
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: that's the key is for him to start throwing it

121
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 2: in situations that matter, and the catchers sometimes are gonna

122
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 2: have to make him throw it in situations where you know,

123
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: the catcher may know it's the right pitch to throw there,

124
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: but he may not have confidence in it. But let's

125
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: build a confidence in it and make him throw in

126
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: situations where it matters, and he can gain more confidence

127
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 2: in that pitch. And I think that if he does that,

128
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: shoot Man, by all Star break, he should be cooking.

129
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: Hey, it might be time to have a heart to

153
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 4: talking about for.

154
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 5: A long time, go over his day and what you

155
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 5: expect to see from him this year.

156
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: Well, I think number one, as you look at this

157
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: kid and he's not a rookie anymore. He is a

158
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 2: proven veteran and goes about his business like a veteran.

159
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: I think that the WBC for him was a huge

160
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: step forward facing all the great pitching that he saw

161
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: on the WBC and had a phenomenal WBC at that.

162
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: But you know, we talk a lot in Boston about

163
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: his plate discipline, and that's gonna have to continue. I

164
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 2: think he's one of the best guys in our lineup

165
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 2: that has plate discipline. And for me as a pitcher,

166
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 2: whenever I saw a hitter that had great plate discipline,

167
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: I always knew that I have my work cut out

168
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: for me and meaning that I had to come with

169
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: my best game in order to beat him. So I

170
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 2: think that has to continue. But secondly, I mean, this

171
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: is a man child. I mean, this dude is ripped up.

172
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 2: He's shred He's not noh row as Chapman, but he's

173
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: a man child. And I think that, you know, with

174
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: him producing more home runs this year, I looked at

175
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: him to be close to fifty home runs this year. Yeah,

176
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: I said it, fifty home runs. This kid can really

177
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: put him out of the ballpark, and especially with a

178
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: short porch and Fenway Park in right field, I think

179
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 2: he can do it. And you know, he's gonna be

180
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 2: hitting leadoffs, so we're gonna see a lot of leadoff

181
00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: home runs from him this year.

182
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: I think I'll take the under. I'll take the under

183
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: considering that Jonathan Paplevan picked Saidan Rafaela last year to

184
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: be the MVP of the league. So I'll take the under.

185
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: But thank you for that easy under that I just got.

186
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: Should he be the leadoff? Should he have a lead off?

187
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: You know, Kratz, that's a great point. I would rather

188
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: see somebody else that lead off, even even in the

189
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 2: two or three spot. I like him, but I think

190
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: that's something that you know, Alex kra and these managers

191
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 2: today are all going towards, is putting their best hitter

192
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: number one, you know, in the lineup and hoping that

193
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: they can roll that lineup over that one extra time

194
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: so that in the ninth inning you can get him

195
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 2: back up. You see Shoho Tani back first and You're like, well,

196
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: should he be a three or four whole hitter? But

197
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: that's what the managers are doing, this these these these

198
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 2: times of the year, and and so, you know, so

199
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: I like it a little bit, but I'd like to

200
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: see him in a more run product producing spot in

201
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: the lineup.

202
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 3: And I get it, you only hit lead off once

203
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 3: and Kyle Schwarber hit lead off, and I feel like

204
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: it's everybody's trying to make it their own stick. I'm

205
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 3: gonna go to a guy that didn't even start yesterday

206
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 3: but was in on a lot of the action. Fortunately

207
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 3: he didn't fall going around third base that on that

208
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 3: one play, Marcella Meyer. Is Marcella Meyer going to be

209
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 3: an everyday guy after.

210
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: May?

211
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 3: Because clearly the left he's on the mount and Andrew Abbott,

212
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 3: we're gonna go ahead and start Isaiah Kiner Fileff And

213
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: you didn't bring him into. You didn't bring him in

214
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: to sit in the bench against lefties. Will they let

215
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 3: Meyer play every day by the end of the month

216
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 3: of May.

217
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: By the end of the month of May. That's a

218
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: tough one for me. Kratz. I'm gonna go with yes,

219
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: just simply because I think that they're gonna eventually hand

220
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: this kid the torch. And what I mean by that

221
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: is they're gonna want to see what he can do

222
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: every day. And Isaiah Connor Fileff is going to start

223
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: into a role playing position and and come off the bench.

224
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: You know, the biggest the biggest difference between him and

225
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: Roman Anthony is that is Marcelo Meyer doesn't have the

226
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 2: plate discipline that Roman Anthony does. And that's the reason

227
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 2: why Roman Anthony is is where he is. And so

228
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: for me, I think swinging at bad pitches and some

229
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: plate discipline for Marcelo Meyer will be key and in

230
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 2: order to see if he can take over that everyday role,

231
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 2: because I think he has the ability to take that

232
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: role over every day. It's just that let's clean some

233
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 2: few things up here, like swinging at bad pitches and

234
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: a little bit more plate discipline. And I believe that

235
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 2: the job is his and I believe that he can

236
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 2: handle it. I just think that this is the last

237
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: part of his growth in order to become an everyday

238
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: starter in an every day Big leaguer.

239
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 3: All Right, I got one more question from about the lineup.

240
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 3: If we put that if we put that graphic up

241
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 3: of their lineup projected lineup.

242
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 4: For the year.

243
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 3: Are they a little short in your opinion? Are they

244
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 3: a little short? I get it, they open they want

245
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 3: opening day, But is that lineup short for you for

246
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 3: an entire one hundred and sixty two games.

247
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 2: Well, you were just talking earlier, Kratz about staying healthy.

248
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: I think it's a lineup that has to stay healthy

249
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: in order to succeed because what they have behind them

250
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: is not very much. And as you get down towards

251
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: the bottom of the lineup, yeah, you're looking at Marcelo

252
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: Meyer and Raphael and Normaiaz. But to me, I'm not

253
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 2: worried about Narbias. You know, he's a catcher that can

254
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,599
Speaker 2: do it behind the play and control the game and

255
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: control the staff, So I'm not necessarily worried about him hitting.

256
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: I need, say Doan to finally step up, and I

257
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 2: need him to be able to start putting the ball

258
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 2: out of the park because I know that he can

259
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: uh and being able to stop getting himself in situations

260
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: where every time you look up it seems like he's

261
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: either er two or one two. You know, it's just

262
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 2: it's just the young Saydan, that we've seen so much,

263
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: and this needs to be the improvement in his game.

264
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: But you know, crats, if they stay healthy, I think

265
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: this lineup has some fortitwo to be able to make

266
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: it through the entire season and really carrying themselves into

267
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: the playoff seasons, because not only do I expect a

268
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: lot out of him this year, but I know a

269
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: lot of Boston is expecting a lot, And to me,

270
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: it's it's World Series or bust this year. I really

271
00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 2: do think that they have the pitching staff and and

272
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: the lineup if they stay healthy, to make it all

273
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: the way to the World Series and win it.

274
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 3: Hey, if you hit the age where everything feels a

275
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 3: little bit more difficult. The gym, yes, but everything like

276
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 3: energy crashes in the afternoon.

277
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: You know, you might have been reading about low te

278
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: and you see your doctor about it and they want

279
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: to give you basically shots every week for the rest

280
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: of your life. Oh cool, that sounds fun. And then

281
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: you dig deeper and you realize what you're signing up for,

282
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: and it's three grand a year to shut down your

283
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: body's natural production forever. That is brutal.

284
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,120

00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: hormone factory instead of shutting it down for.

00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:51,800

Speaker 1: sent you. Wow, they get there, they can do it.

296
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: There's a chance they don't even get there. I mean,

297
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: we'll see. Just because of how good the Al East is,

298
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: that's how crazy the division is and how competitive it is. Right,

299
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: you're going to have a team we talked about it

300
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: yesterday out of the Yankees, Blue Jays, Oriols and Red

301
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: Sox that doesn't make the postseason, I mean most likely,

302
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: we're most likely not getting a division winner plus three

303
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: wildcards out of one division.

304
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 4: It's it's not highly likely.

305
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But yes, I'm with you. I think

306
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: Boston's going to be good. I got two more for you.

307
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: One is, as we're talking about the line of in depth,

308
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: because injuries will happen where we at. On Christian Campbell,

309
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: I didn't follow him much obviously. I know he's still

310
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: trying to crack it in the minor leagues right now,

311
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: But do you think there's a pathway for him to

312
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: eventually become an impactful big league player? You know they

313
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: signed him. I think it's sixty mili is the overall

314
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: guaranteed money? And is this going to turn into a

315
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: Scott Kingry situation or do we have to be very

316
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: patient with a guy who kind of took a burst

317
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: with some analytics helping him in his swing, and then

318
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he's up in the bigs. Life

319
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: came out him fast, and now he's learning all kinds

320
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: of different positioning. What do you got on him, Scotty?

321
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: That's a great point, man. I think that you said

322
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: it best. I think that life in the game of

323
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: baseball came at him too fast, and I think that

324
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: the Red Sox kind of jumped a little bit early

325
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: at this position and tried to say, hey, let's lock

326
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 2: him up because he had such a great start to

327
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 2: his career. But as we know, it's it's not how

328
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 2: you start it's how you finish, and he wasn't able

329
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 2: to finish. So for me, it's it's it's one thing.

330
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: He came out of Georgia Tech, didn't play much in

331
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 2: the minor leagues. They tossed him into a big league

332
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: situation right away, and now you're almost getting you know,

333
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: they almost gave him the keys to second base last year,

334
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: and and to me, he didn't really prove much. So

335
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 2: I don't know what their plans are for him in

336
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 2: the long term, but I know short term he will

337
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 2: be in Triple A and he will be playing there

338
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 2: for a while. It's just, you know, it's his maturity

339
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: and his plate discipline and his ability to play every

340
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 2: day is just not there yet. So I think not

341
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: only him, but another guy in my opinion that the

342
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: roads there's no roads anymore for him to go down,

343
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: is Yoshidah. I mean, Yoshidah is stuck. I mean there's

344
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: nowhere for him to go. I don't see him playing

345
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: very much either, and yet he's still gonna be at

346
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: the big league levels, So what do you do with

347
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: him as well? So maybe there would be some trades

348
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 2: come trade deadline this year, but it's gonna be hard

349
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 2: to get rid of those guys now that you know

350
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 2: they're not producing, right, Yeah.

351
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: And they're making good cash. You're gonna have to eat money,

352
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: trade in away someone like Yoshida and a team wants

353
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,640
Speaker 1: to take them all right. My last one for you

354
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: is an interesting player slash media dynamic question. So this

355
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: comes from a minute ago at this point, probably six

356
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: to eight weeks ago, at the start of spring training,

357
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: where IKF said that nobody approached him after the World

358
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: Series Game seven about the lead off of third and

359
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 1: that whole deal. You remember that right where he was criticized,

360
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays were criticized, So spin it forward. Our

361
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: show has had over eight hundred play player appearances. We

362
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: ask people, we get knows. Sometimes we respectfully say okay.

363
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: When we did Red Sox spring training, we got to

364
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: his team and his people and we got a hard know.

365
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: So my question to you.

366
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,919
Speaker 1: Is when a guy is kind of calling out the

367
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: media for not giving him a platform, but then we

368
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: try and ask him and maybe it wasn't the right timing,

369
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: what are we supposed to do as media members?

370
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 3: Right?

371
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: So, like, I felt like my group got called out

372
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: for not approaching someone, and also like in today's world,

373
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: you know this, you could get your story out in

374
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: five minutes via article, you know, via going on a

375
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: show whatever. So I don't know the guy well and

376
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: I'm not calling him out. I'm more just acting like

377
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: on to defend the media side. What are we supposed

378
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: to do when someone says, oh, well, no one got

379
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: my side of the story, and then we ask, and

380
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 1: I think others to too, and then you get a no.

381
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, you know, in today's world, I think you

382
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 2: said it best. If if you have a problem or

383
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 2: you want to get a story out, or you want

384
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: to get your side of the story out, it's not

385
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: that hard. And then when someone approaches you to get

386
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 2: it out and make it that much easier, and you

387
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 2: still want to blame him, I've got a problem with that.

388
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: So to me, if this continues and and you know

389
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: he wants to have problems with the media, especially in Boston,

390
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 2: this ain't gonna fly, brother, This ain't gonna fly because

391
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 2: you will get chewed up and spit out like one

392
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 2: of the other. And so to me, the best thing

393
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: for him to do is just shut up and produce, right,

394
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: Just shut up and produce, and then whenever you want

395
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: to get something out, then you have all the opportunity

396
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: and all the media in the world in Boston to

397
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: do that with, then do it. But to me, I

398
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: kf man, you got to shut up and produce right now.

399
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: Nobody cares about anything else.

400
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: Buddy Well I cared, but he wouldn't come on and

401
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: talk to us, and we were like, let's share the story.

402
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: That's why I'm with you. You can't. You can't play it

403
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: both ways. That was my point. I'm like, if you're

404
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: going to cry, oh, no one's giving me the platform,

405
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: then you're there. And like you said, now you're in Boston.

406
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: So if you want to get anything out at any

407
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,239
Speaker 1: point ever, you're going to have an opportunity. There are

408
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: begging to talk to players and get access, so Well

409
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: said
