1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to the Monday edition of Fair Territory. We 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: are coming off a rollicking opening weekend of Major League Baseball. 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: We have a ton to get to. I want to 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: go through the things that struck me the most. We 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: could really sit here all day and talk about that, 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: but I'll go through my highlights. Obviously it's not going 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: to be a complete list, So don't start complaining, what 8 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: about this? What about that? No, we're not doing that. 9 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: We're going to try to get through as much as possible, though, 10 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: because a lot of cool things have happened. All right, 11 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: let's start with the series that I was at, the 12 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: Yankees Giant Series. Yankees look great. They allowed one run 13 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: in three games, swept the series. As I said on 14 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: the broadcast on Saturday, the thing that impresses me most 15 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: about the Yankees is obviously, yes, their team on the 16 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: field is very good, but the depth that they have 17 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: in their organization with players on the injured list, Garrett 18 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: Cole and Carlos Rodin and Clark Schmidt, and then prospects 19 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: who are close to the majors And who am I 20 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: talking about Carlos Legrange, the other pitcher, Elma Rodriguez. Excuse me, 21 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: and then the outfielders Jason Domingiez, I know, we struggled 22 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: on that ball at TRIPLEA the other day. Off the wall, 23 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: Spencer Jones, George Lombard, Cumming and others. They are in 24 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: a position where if injuries strike, as they inevitably will, 25 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: they're in a reasonably good spot to carry on without 26 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: much loss. Obviously, you lose a judge or a stand 27 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: and that's a big deal. But that's what I like 28 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: about the Yankees. And obviously their offense, which was one 29 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: of the best in the elite game last year, is 30 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: back and still rather potent. The Giants, we're gonna be 31 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: talking about them a lot this season. They need to hit, 32 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 1: and if they're not going to hit, then the whole 33 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: thing is not going to work. It's three games. No 34 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: one should be panicking yet, Let's see how this plays 35 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: out for them. They faced some great pitching Freed and 36 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: Schlitler and Warren. The Yankee starters were really good, though 37 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: not quite as good, perhaps as the Blue Jays starters 38 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: in their season opening sweep of the Athletics. Let's look 39 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: at something right here that really impressed me about the 40 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: Blue Jays and kind of an unsung thing right now 41 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: about where they are. Perhaps we all thought their rotation 42 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: would be good. This good, though, I'm not so sure. 43 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: Look at the strikeout totals for each of their starters 44 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: in this opening series. And Eric Lawer is not at 45 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: the level, of course of Gossman and Cease. But my goodness, 46 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: eleven for Gossman, twelve for Seas, nine for Lower thirty. 47 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: Two strikeouts in sixteen and two thirds innings for the 48 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: Blue Jays rotation. That is pretty good, all right? Elsewhere 49 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: excuse me elsewhere? Blue Jays, Yes, they've been great. The 50 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: Brewers too. I know. They had an inferior opponent in 51 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: the Chicago White Sox, and they came back on Sunday. 52 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: They did some really good things in that series. They 53 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: are the Brewers of old again, even with their pitching questions, 54 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: already a two game lead up on the Cubs, and 55 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: the Cubs, well, they didn't have a great opponent either. 56 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: They played the Washington national and lost two of three 57 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: in the opening series. So here we go in the 58 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: NL Central also want to mention with the Nationals, Joey 59 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: Weimer Waiver claim reaches in each of his first eight 60 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: played appearances for Washington. Good for him. Great weekend for 61 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: Joey Weimer. Now, the thing that struck me most about 62 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: this weekend perhaps would be the performances of some of 63 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: the ballyhooed rookies we had all across the league. And 64 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: I can go right down the line. Let's start with 65 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 1: Murakami coming from Japan, three home runs in three games, 66 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: and then go to some of the other players we're 67 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: talking about. Chase the Laughter from the Cleveland Guardians. My goodness, 68 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: four home runs first three games, first player since Trevor 69 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: Story and the only other player since Trevor's Story to 70 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: do that, and three of the guys he took deeper 71 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: among the better pitchers in the game off that Seattle staff, 72 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: Andre Munos Andres Munos, George Kirby, and Logan Gilbert. Pretty 73 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: good group there. He also broke up a no hitter 74 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,839 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Pretty good weekend for Chase the latter Now 75 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: Kevin McGonagall. He had a fantastic debut four for five 76 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: in that game. He's five for twelve overall. He was 77 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: robbed of a home run by Jackson Merrill on Saturday 78 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: and then came back with a ten pitch at bat 79 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: against Wandy Peralta, in which he laced the go ahead single. 80 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: This guy looks like he's going to be a stud 81 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: in the game for a long time. The same might 82 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: be true of the Marlins. Owen Casey, what did he 83 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: do this weekend? He was pretty good too, to run 84 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: walk off home run yesterday. That would be Sunday five 85 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: for ten overall with three extra base hits. He of 86 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: course was the big prize for the Marlins in that 87 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: Edward Cabrera trade, and then the Cardinals Jj weatherhold home 88 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: run and his debut for his first major league hit, 89 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: and then a walk off two run single on Saturday. 90 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: So some really spectacular performances by rookies, and yes, I 91 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: probably of leaving off one or two, but those were 92 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: the ones that stood out perhaps most of me. They 93 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,919 Speaker 1: were really good, these guys, and they're going to be 94 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 1: really good. They're going to be fun to watch. At 95 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 1: some point, we'll get Connor Griffin up here as well, 96 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: and we'll see other rookies impressed in the same way 97 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: that these guys have done. The Rookie of the Year 98 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: races in both leagues could be rather good. Now, on 99 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: a lighter note, perhaps some closer entrances that we saw 100 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: this weekend that were, I don't know, pretty cool. Mason 101 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: Miller of the Padres coming out to the group. Well, 102 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: it's the ah, I'm screwing up this all right. I'm 103 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: not gonna say this song because I'm not sure what 104 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: it is, but Mason Miller has a new great entrance song. 105 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,119 Speaker 1: You see it right there. Obviously, the light's going back 106 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: and forth, and it's really cool. It's a heavy metal song. 107 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: Korn's Blind, I believe, is what it is. So yes, 108 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: Korn's Blind, all right, Sorry for the brand cramp there. 109 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: The other one, well, Edwin Diaz. We've seen his act before. 110 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: We've seen what he does coming into Narco with the Mets, 111 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: and of course he did it with the Dodgers as well. 112 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: You remember timmy trumpet would play live once in a 113 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: while with the Mets when Edwin Diaz was there, he 114 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: would be the guy playing the trumpet part from Narco. 115 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: The Dodgers brought in someone with the same initials, Tatiyana Tate. 116 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: She did the same thing and the Dodgers had kind 117 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: of a raucous time with Edwin Diaz doing the Narco entrance. 118 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: So some cool entrances by closers and a lot of 119 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: good things happening. Now, one thing that was a little 120 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: more troubling, at least in the opening game that the 121 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Pirates played O'Neil Cruz in centerfield. Now, you saw 122 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: some discourse after opening day about Paul Skenes and Matthew 123 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: Boyd and Logan Webb all having rough starts. Well, yes, 124 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: by the pitching lines they did. Problem was Paul Skeins 125 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: would not have had a rough start if not for 126 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: two misplays in centerfield by O'Neil Cruz. The sun obviously 127 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: was a factor here, it was an issue for him. 128 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: You see the tweet there from Noah Hale's of our 129 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: own network, the Foul Territory Network, about this about how 130 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: O'Neal Cruz in centerfield could be an issue. Now, yesterday 131 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: the play that's cut down Lindor at the plate in 132 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: the Pirates extra ending victory over the Mets. O'Neil Cruz 133 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: started that relay with a good throw from centerfield. So 134 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: he's a work in progress. It remains to be seen 135 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: just how good he's going to be or not good 136 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: out there. But O'Neil Cruz with Pittsburgh trying to take 137 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: a step forward here. That's a bit of an issue 138 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: right now. So with that we close out my initial 139 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: impressions of Opening Weekend. We're going to get to ABS 140 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: and the Inside Dish. Trust me on that, and trust 141 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: me as well, I will never forget Korn's blind again. 142 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: Just a brain cram, Folks, Calm down, relax, We're having fun. 143 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: It's Opening Weekend. We'll be back with the Inside Dish 144 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: after this. 145 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 2: This episode is brought to you by Fox One.

Now we're 173 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: not getting political here, but I just want to show 174 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: you this, he tweets last night. ABS is not making 175 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: the game better. He was ratioed like you wouldn't believe. 176 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: Fans love ABS. And that's what I want to talk 177 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: about here. The one unexpected thing from ABS, at least 178 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: for me so far, was and has been the entertainment value. 179 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: And it was perhaps most exemplified by what happened in 180 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,079 Speaker 1: Cincinnati on Saturday, when two straight strike three calls against 181 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: Ajohanni Osuarez by C. B. Buckner were overturned. By the system, 182 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,839 Speaker 1: and the crowd, with the bases loaded and the Reds 183 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: leading but looking to add to their lead, went nuts 184 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: on each of the overturn calls. The play by play 185 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: announcer for the Reds kind of got into it too, 186 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: so it's allowed, as the crowd has been all day 187 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: and the Reds have hit two home runs, and it 188 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: was just really an example of how abs can be 189 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: part of the crowd experience. Now we all knew obviously 190 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: it would be on the scoreboard and it would go 191 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: about it that way, but to see it in action 192 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: and to see it in ballparks all across America. I 193 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: had a game Saturday, the Fox Game in San Francisco, 194 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: in which there were seven challenges and all seven were overturned. 195 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: That's how good the teams were that day in making 196 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: their educated guesses, so to speak. So this was something 197 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: I didn't expect. And there was also a sequence Sunday 198 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: where you saw Minnesota Twins manager Derek Shelton ejected for 199 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: arguing not the call by the robot, but whether it 200 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: took Baltimore Orioles closer Ryan Helsley too long to challenge. Now, 201 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: Hellsley did tap his cap quickly. It wasn't clear whether 202 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 1: the umpire saw it, so he did it again, and 203 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: that's where Shelton probably saw, Hey, WHOA, what's going on here? 204 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: But it seemed to me that it did happen quickly enough. 205 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: And that said overall, when you watch ABS unfold in 206 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: a park or on your television screen, it does move quickly. 207 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: In fact, I remember, or I've seen in tennis when 208 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: the Hawkeye automation comes into play and they're showing it 209 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: on the score, where the crowd will clap rhythmically as 210 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: if like, wow, this is something cool that's coming. In baseball. 211 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: So far, it seems to me it's happened so quick 212 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: that there's not even time for the crowd to get 213 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: into it in that fashion. So ABS, so far, and 214 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: I emphasize the words, so far is a hit. Now. 215 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: What's interesting is that we're in the shiny new toy 216 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: phase of this. Right. We have seen nothing too egregious 217 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: as far as overturned calls. We've seen good things happen, 218 00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: but we've also seen the possibility of not bad things 219 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: is happening, but outcomes that might not be all that desirable. 220 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: We've seen some calls decided by a tenth of an inch, 221 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 1: and as Jason Stark informed us in his article on 222 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: March twenty fourth in The Athletic. And actually we've written 223 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: about this before, Jason and I ourselves, there is margin 224 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: fer error here, and I want to show you what 225 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: Jason wrote. League officials told The Athletic that MLB is 226 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: ninety five percent confident that a pitch would be within 227 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: zero point thirty nine inches of the location where the 228 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: ABS system pinpoints it. The league also is confident, it 229 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: is ninety I'm sorry, ninety nine percent confident that the 230 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: location would be within zero point four to eight inches. 231 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: That's about a half inch of where ABS said it landed. 232 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: That's not one hundred percent, it's ninety nine percent, or 233 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: it's ninety five percent. And the problem with that is, 234 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: as Jason has written, let's say a World Series game 235 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: comes down to a tie score in the ninth inning 236 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: with the basis loaded and a three to two count, 237 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: and a call gets overturned by a tenth of an inch. 238 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: You're within the margin for error. And that's a problem. 239 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: And we're going to see games decided that way. Maybe 240 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 1: not Games seven of the World Series, but it could happen. 241 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: We had Games seven of the World Series get down 242 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: to a pretty nitty gritty last year in the ninth inning, 243 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: so we will see how this all plays out. And 244 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: in his article, Jason wrote how some players were in 245 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: favor of a buffer zone in which umpires would be 246 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: permitted some grace where if a pitch is within a 247 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: certain margin for error, say a half inch as an example, 248 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: then it could be a call stands situation, much as 249 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: we see with instant replay right when the call is 250 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: not overturned. There are problems with that. It creates confusion, 251 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: and ultimately the league decided it didn't want to go there. 252 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: So we're going to see a lot of interesting things happen. 253 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: And as I wrote in my story my column today, 254 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: we've already seen star players regretting not doing certain things 255 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: with abs, either not challenging or challenging too early and 256 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: burning a challenge. We saw that with Roman Anthony and 257 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: Kyle Schwarber. They expressed remorse about not a I'm sorry 258 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 1: challenging when they shouldn't have perhaps, and we saw Spencer 259 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: Torkolsen express regret about, hey, I should have challenged earlier 260 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: in the game when I had a real shot there 261 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: and I didn't and it cost us. You're going to 262 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: see that there are new forms of strategy here, new 263 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: forms of scrutiny, and new things for us to debate. 264 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: And in my view, with baseball, it is the best 265 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: talking sport. It always has been. It's a sport where 266 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: the action is not so fast, where you can't talk 267 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: about things between pitches, between innings, even though it's faster 268 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: with the pitch clock, And it's a sport which, because 269 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: it plays out over six months and one hundred and 270 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: sixty two games, gives us endless opportunities to talk about 271 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: things and debate things and all of that, and that's 272 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: where the strategy element here comes into play. It's really 273 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: interesting to see how players are handling it, and it 274 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: will be really interesting to see how players and teams 275 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: evolve in their thinking with how aggressively to use their challenges. Remembered, 276 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: you're permitted to per game. If you are correct, you 277 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: can keep going. You retain your challenge. If you're incorrect 278 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: and you lose your two by the ninth inning, well 279 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 1: you're out of luck. And Jason has pointed out too 280 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: that what happens if a team loses its challenges, and 281 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: then we see an agreeious call occur in the ninth inning. Well, 282 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: that's too bad. That's part of the system. So I 283 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: am all in favor of anything in baseball that encourages 284 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: more discussion, more debate, more decision making. And I've actually 285 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: in the story in the column mentioned that I would 286 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: like to see draft picks traded. I would like to 287 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: see a second trade deadline at the winter meetings. Again, 288 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: more decision making, more things to discuss, more things to 289 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: debate and have fun with. That is what ABA is 290 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: proving to be so far. You might have seen the 291 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: hilarious Randy A Rose Arena helmet tap after he was 292 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: three steps up the line so convinced of his correctness 293 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: with a challenge the other night in Seattle, and it 294 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: proved to be correct in his case, not by a lot, 295 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: but he was right. So we're gonna see an entertainment 296 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: aspect here that perhaps some people didn't anticipate. I sure didn't. 297 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: And the game is supposed to be fun. ABS is 298 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: making it fun. We're gonna see some unintended consequences. We're 299 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: gonna see some unfortunate things happen at the same time. 300 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: On balance, I'm down with this. I'm good with this. ABS, 301 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: in my view, is a success. All right, with that, 302 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: we will take a break. Grilling Can is coming up 303 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: right after this. All right, time now for Grilling Can 304 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: the part of the program where you guys get to 305 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 1: ask me questions. Let's get going. First question comes from 306 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: videos two seven. Is Murakami better than we thought he was? 307 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: Fair question? And actually at the start of the off 308 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: season the predictions for Murakami in free agency turned out 309 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: to be much higher than what he actually got from 310 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: the White Sox, and there were some questions about swing 311 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: and miss, questions about defense, questions as they always are 312 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: about Japanese players adapting to major league pitching. Well, so far, 313 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: so good. He had the three homers in three games 314 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 1: against the Brewers. Obviously you want to see a play out. 315 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 1: Obviously we are in the small sample overreaction phase of 316 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: the season the opening week. But again it's very encouraging 317 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: and there's no question he has power. That was not 318 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 1: a question coming over from Japan. So the question will 319 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: be as major league pitchers adjust to him, how will 320 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: he adjust in kind, and whether he will be able 321 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: to saying not a one hundred and sixty two homer 322 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: in one hundred and sixty two game performance, but a 323 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: level that is comparable to what he was able to 324 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: do in Japan. All right, next question, This one comes 325 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: from Texas or a fan Rangers fan. Is McCutcheon making 326 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: enough of an impression on the Rangers that they'd be 327 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: willing to buy out Jack Peterson should his struggles continue? Okay, 328 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: slow down, we're talking again about the opening weekend, And yes, 329 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: Andrew McCutcheon had a great opening weekend. I could have 330 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: mentioned him in the open to the show when I 331 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: was running through the things that made the strongest impression 332 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 1: because that exchange that he had with the Phillies fan 333 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: after his home run yesterday in which the Phillies fans saying, 334 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: come on, Cutch, give us a break, and he was like, 335 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: hey man, I'm sorry. That was great. That was hilarious. 336 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: So obviously, over time, if McCutchen has that big an impact, yes, 337 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: they could be looking at a different perspective on Jock Peterson, 338 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: but they go to they are going to need Jack 339 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: Peterson to be really good too, and offense has been 340 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 1: an issue for the Rangers. We need to see more 341 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: from Cutch. We need to see more from Jock. Again, 342 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,719 Speaker 1: It's the opening weekend, not time to overreact. All right, 343 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: Let's get to the next question. This one comes from 344 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: John C. Ninety who says, if a team like the 345 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: Pirates suddenly had as much money as the Dodgers, where 346 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 1: they develop the same level success of success or is 347 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: it more than money? Great question, and I would say 348 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: to you, it is more than money, And yes, the 349 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: Dodgers spend more than other teams. But I will point 350 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: you to a story by the athletics Fabian our Diet 351 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 1: last week about the Dodgers' culture and about the way 352 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: players hold each other accountable and how the emphasis there 353 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: is on winning and winning only that's part of it. 354 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: With the Dodgers. They are also excellent at developing players 355 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: in the minor leagues, identifying which players to draft, identifying 356 00:19:54,520 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: players to or who might be undervalued by other teams 357 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 1: but could play valuable roles for them. There have been 358 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 1: countless examples of that. So the Dodgers, at every level 359 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: of evaluation are operating on a higher level than every 360 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: other team. So the Pirates would not be the Dodgers 361 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: if they were simply spending the same amount of money 362 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,479 Speaker 1: and you see this in other leagues as well, salary 363 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: cap pleagues. Certain teams are run better than others, and 364 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: that is how they are enabled to be so successful 365 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 1: over extended periods of time. All right, next question from 366 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: Foul Territory Show. Are you worried about Bobashett? I will 367 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: point you to a column by Joel Sherman of the 368 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: New York Post, my friend and someone I admire greatly, 369 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: who writes about Bobashet on Monday today and basically says, 370 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: don't worry about Bobashet. If you're the Mets, You've got 371 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: other issues. Maybe Bobashet's defense a little bit Polanco's defense 372 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 1: at first, Maybe Sean man I is lack of velocity. 373 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: There are other issues that are surfacing with the Mets. 374 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: Bobashet being able to hit is not going to be 375 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: one of them. Bobashett is going to hit. They have 376 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:10,360 Speaker 1: every reason to believe that. It was interesting to hear 377 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: his own view of his opening start with the Nets. 378 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 1: Basically said he was surprised it took the fans as 379 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: long to boo him as it did. So Bobashett clearly 380 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: knows what is ahead of him. Clearly knows what he 381 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: has to do for the Mets and him hitting, I 382 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: do not expect to be a problem. All right, let's 383 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: get to another question here. We're ripping through him. This morning. 384 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: Video Game Nation twenty six asked, do you think teams 385 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: at some point in the future will need three ABS 386 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 1: challenges instead of only two? There is a reason it's 387 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: only two, and that's because Baseball wants to keep the 388 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 1: game moving and they want teams to approach this not 389 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 1: as oh, we can challenge at any time, but to 390 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: use those challenges selectively and only in certain situations where 391 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: they believe it's the most leverage. Okay, so I am 392 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: quite certain the system at some point will require tweaks. 393 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that baseball is ever going to want 394 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: to get to three, four or five challenges. Now, the 395 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: next question to come out of that would be why 396 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: not full ABS? And I address this in my column. 397 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: I don't want full ABS. I don't know that anyone 398 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: should want full ABS. You're taking the human element out 399 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: of it entirely. At that point. You're taking framing out 400 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: of it from a player's perspective, and there's still great 401 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: value in framing. And you're also removing the homeplate umpire. 402 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: And let's face it, these guys do a great job 403 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,959 Speaker 1: on balance, and you see that by the percentage of 404 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 1: pitches challenged, it's not a great percentage. The umpires, if anything, 405 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: with ABS are only going to be helped because yes, 406 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: on occasion, when they miss a call, it does happen. 407 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: We're all human. This will be able to help them 408 00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: this system. So I don't see an increasing challenges being 409 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: something that Baseball looks at in the future, and I 410 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: don't see full ABS being the answer. This system is 411 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 1: pretty good right now the way it is, at least 412 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: based on the opening weekend, and again small sample, we 413 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: haven't seen some of these unintended consequences that I have 414 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: feared come to pass yet in a big way. I'm 415 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: sure we will in time. And then in time also 416 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: MLBU can look at the system and decide whether tweaks 417 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: are necessary. All right, let's get to another question here. 418 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: This one comes from Slice Life, who asks, with the 419 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: struggle of the top of the star lineup of the Phillies, 420 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: would you make a lineup change to switch things up? 421 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: What would your approach to this be. You're talking there 422 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: about Bryce Harper, and I understand it. But at the 423 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: same time, my goodness, this is the smallest of samples, 424 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: and I am referring all morning to Opening week overreaction. 425 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: This is a case where if the Phillies made a 426 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: change now, it would be Opening week overreaction. Are going 427 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: to settle down. If in two months we have the 428 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: same kind of problem, even two weeks, then maybe maybe 429 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: you look at it a little bit differently. But right 430 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: now it's not time to start changing lineups or anything 431 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,239 Speaker 1: like that. And I'll refer also to another team in 432 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,719 Speaker 1: this kind of category. San Francisco Giants just saw them 433 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: all weekend again. One run in three games not ideal, 434 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: and that offense might not be as good as the 435 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: names on paper would suggest. But Tony v. Teller the 436 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: managers basically said, this is who we're sticking with. We'll 437 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: tweak at times. They tweak their lineup Saturday, but overall 438 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna stick with the guys who at least have 439 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: gotten them to this point, or at least the guys 440 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: that they've envisioned getting them to where they need to be. 441 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: It's not time yet to change anything dramatically, all right. 442 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,679 Speaker 1: I want to thank everyone for watching and for listening. 443 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: Foul Territory coming up at one pm Easton.
