00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: that and much more. Let's go up to lead off.

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: It's getting robbed and keep him on. Rob's hot take

13
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: on the three biggest stories in Major League Baseball Number one.

14
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Wednesday was a historic day in Major League Baseball. All

15
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: after the Milwaukee Bucks decided that they would uh boycott

16
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: playing Game five of their NBA playoff series against the

17
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: Orlando Magic. The Milwaukee Brewers, showing a sign of solidarity,

18
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: joined in and decided they didn't want to play. The

19
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Reds agreed, they also agreed not to play in

20
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: the game, and then there was the Seattle Mariners, who

21
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: have ten African American players on their roster, and they

22
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: also voted not to play their game against the Padres.

23
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: This all because of the shooting of Jacob Blake, a

24
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: black man in Wisconsin after an altercation with police. So

25
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: baseball also following the lead of the NBA deciding to

26
00:01:53,680 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: that it stands against racial injustice and police brutality, and

27
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: other black players around baseball also joined in. This was

28
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: something to watch and it shouldn't have come as a

29
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: total surprise by the Brewers because manager Craig Counsel had

30
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: this to say, quote, a black man was shot and

31
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: his life is imperiled, and frankly, it shouldn't be. Counsel said,

32
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: we have a systemic problem that we need to address.

33
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: We all need to educate ourselves. Whether you agree or

34
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: disagree with what I'm saying, I think it's important that

35
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: we continue to think, we continue to pursue policy change,

36
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: we continue to act because there's violence happening that just

37
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: absolutely should not be happening, and we can't stay quiet

38
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: about it. End quote. I can understand why right Counsel

39
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: was emotional about it. Obviously, it happened in Wisconsin, and uh,

40
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: people watch this on television, on video and social media,

41
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: and these things keep happening. And I love the idea

42
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: that the sports community, baseball included, will not turn a

43
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: blind eye to some of the injustices going on in

44
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: this country. Number two, the pitch to Gonzanes blond shot

45
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: at the right coming in US ain't going. He's got

46
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: the ball and this one's over. Hey, look as Stealito

47
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: has thrown a no hitter here at guaranteed right field August.

48
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: Look as Gelito no hits the Pirates. Amazing feed Lucas

49
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: gi Alito with the no no. You know how hard

50
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: it is to throw a no hitter in the Big League.

51
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: There's so many good hitters, broken bats, anything can happen.

52
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: But he did it for the White Sox. And you know,

53
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: people were talking about the White Sox pitching. They got

54
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: some mashes on that team, but do they have enough pitching?

55
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: He might have just sparked the answer for the White Sox.

56
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: And here's a little nugget. Are you ready? When he

57
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: was a twelve year old playing baseball in California, guess

58
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: who one of his coaches was? Hall of Famer Dave Winfield. Yes, indeed,

59
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: that's gotta be pretty special for both Lucas and for

60
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Dave to see one of the kids he helped nurtured

61
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: come full circle and wind up pitching a no no

62
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: in the major leagues. Hats off and bravo number three.

63
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: Coming into Wednesday start against the Atlanta Braves in the

64
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: first game of a doubleheader, Garrett Cole was twenty and

65
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: oh with the one point nine seven e erra and

66
00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: it's past starts? Did you hear what I said? Twenty

67
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: and all one point nine seven That start undefeated streak

68
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: was tied with two other players for the second longest

69
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball history. That is an incredible streak.

70
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: And as we all know, all good things come to

71
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: an end. But what a ride by Garrett Cole, and

72
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: I think anybody would take that streak. Here comes the

73
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: big interview listener. Good, all right, let's welcome in, of course,

74
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: a guy who I think belongs in the Baseball Hall

75
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: of Fame and who gets my vote every year, Mr

76
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: Gary Sheffield, who, of course UH hit over five hundred

77
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,200

79
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: Welcome to the podcast. Gary. How you doing. I'm doing good.

80
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me, no doubt, Gary, that's just the

81
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: news of the of the day is. And you're a

82
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: conscious brother, you know what's going on out here in

83
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: the world. The boycott of the NBA started with the

84
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks and then the rest of the teams joined

85
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: in at least and did not play playoff games on Wednesday.

86
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: What do you make of that? Well, I I just think,

87
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: you know, we're in different times, and I think, um,

88
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: it starts with Lebron James being the leader of the NBA. Uh.

89
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: He's been doing a lot of different things and uh,

90
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: and the community, Um, you know, I promise you know, schools.

91
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: He's the man of his actions. He's been doing a

92
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: lot of wonderful things. And uh, that's why I tell

93
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: people all the time, if if uh it's one guy

94
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: that I ever want my kids to try to be like,

95
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: I want to be like. Usually as an example, Lebron James,

96
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: and he stepped up for these guys, and I think

97
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: his leadership quality to have gotten all these guys on

98
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: board to take a stance on the social injustice and

99
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: the police brutality and things like that so, um, they're

100
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: going in the political world that a lot of baseball players,

101
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: football player, of basketball player, hockey players never went went

102
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: that route. But I think now that times are different

103
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: because these younger kids are they really get it, no

104
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: doubt about it. And speaking of different times, the COVID

105
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: nineteen and trying to play baseball through it. For the

106
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,559
Speaker 1: most part without a bubble, baseball has only been about

107
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: three teams that have really been hit by it. Are

108
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: you surprised? And if you were still playing, Gary, would

109
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: you have taken part in this season? That's a good question. Uh,

110
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, it depends on the situation. You know. I

111
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: don't have anybody in my family that has any kind

112
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: of effects from you know, having diseases or things like

113
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: that that that can be affected by it. So I

114
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: have to understand, you know, the the disease, which I

115
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: don't think anybody does at this point. But uh, you know,

116
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: knowing me and knowing what's going on. And I just

117
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: talked to Derrik g the other day and and he

118
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: we were talking about him having eight team players missing

119
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: and and still having to compete. Um, you know, you know,

120
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: I just probably would I would be at this point.

121
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what I would do at that time

122
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: if I was still playing, but I think I'll be

123
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: fifty fifty on it. Our guest is Gary Sheffield, of course,

124
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: the former outfielder and uh infielder in the Big leagues.

125
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: And Gary, let's talk about baseball and some of the players.

126
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: Mookie Bets, of course, before the season started, signed a

127
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: huge contract with the Dodgers, contract extension for Bookoo Bucks

128
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: and boys. He having a season for the Dodgers. Tell

129
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: me about him. Do you like Mookie Bets as a

130
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: player and what do you like the most. I don't

131
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: just like him. I love him, you know, I think

132
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, he's a great example for the game. He's

133
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: a great adbassador half for your game. You know, this

134
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: kid plays like he's having fawn out there. Uh. It

135
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: makes the game look easy. Um. You know. Uh, the

136
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 1: little bit that I know about him, you know, it

137
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: seemed like anything he puts his mind to, he can

138
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: he could probably be the best at it, bowling, basketball,

139
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be. Um. So when you're

140
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: talking about a kid like that, you know, I don't

141
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: just want to limit him and like most people do

142
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: and say, you know, he's just athletic. No, this guy

143
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: has good genes. You know, he's a small guy. So

144
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, this guy here is one of the probably

145
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: the best player in the game all around player. I

146
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: would say, you know, Mike Taut based on the bat

147
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: in his hand, I think he's the best player in

148
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: the game. But Mookie Betts is the best all around player.

149
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: Mookie Betts the other day became the first Dodger to

150
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: have two home runs and two stolen bases in the

151
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: same game. Doesn't that seem almost impossible that as long

152
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: as the Dodgers have been around and all the great

153
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: players who have played there, that he's the first guy

154
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: to make that happen. You mean to come, I didn't

155
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: do that. I know you did not. You did not?

156
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: Did you you do that? Well? I might have had

157
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: one stolen base with two home runs, right, you gotta

158
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: go look that up. Oh, I'm sure you had that.

159
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm not positive now, but I'm not surprised. You know

160
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: this this guy, uh, he can do anything on the

161
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: baseball field. Um, you know, he probably can hit third

162
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: and I line up, but they line up so deep.

163
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: You know, he's more dangerous for that team, and he's

164
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: more effective being in that number one spot, and uh,

165
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: any time you got him at the top of your order.

166
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: I mean that problem started when the game started. And uh,

167
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: this guy can go deep and hit the ball in

168
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: the gap. He can get a walk still basis I mean,

169
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: these guys that hit behind him, you know they're gonna

170
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: they're gonna love having him there. You played with the Yankees,

171
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: and the Yankees always like of late, they still win

172
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: a lot of games even though their big guys are

173
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: out standing and Judge are injured again, you know, not playing,

174
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: but they seem to still keep in the mix. Why

175
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: is that? And why why are the Yankees able to sustain?

176
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it that they're just deep and they

177
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: have a lot of talent sitting around who probably you know,

178
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: would be playing for other teams. But the Yankees seem

179
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: to be able to reload even when they're missing people.

180
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: You know, that's a good question. Uh is that? You know,

181
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: I played on eight different teams and I watched how

182
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: each team go about UM player personnel. Um, you know

183
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: how deep my rotation? How deep is my team? The

184
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: Yankees have the best resources I think of all the

185
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: baseball Um, they don't just settle on you know man roster,

186
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: and then uh, they leave it at that. They might

187
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: have another ten fifteen kids that can come up and

188
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: help you any given day. There's kids that used to

189
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: come up during the season and I didn't I didn't

190
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: even remember. There was my teammates. You know, they would

191
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: come in and picture day and pitched six innings and

192
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: give you some quality innings and we will win that game.

193
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, he's out of there. Then all

194
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're here an outfield to come up

195
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: and he might get two hits and and score a run.

196
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, you only find that stuff out

197
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: when it's time for to do the Time Shares meeting.

198
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: And when you do the time Shares meeting, you said,

199
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: well what about this guy, Like I don't remember that guy, Well,

200
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: he threw six scorers innings for that he got us

201
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: to win. And so just you're looking at all of

202
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: that stuff and I think that just that alone, just

203
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: the resources that Yankees have. Um, you know, during the playoffs,

204
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: we never saw scouts, but when the playoffs came, they

205
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: had they had probably twenty scouts to show up to

206
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: the uh, to the locker, and we're like, who all

207
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: these people he's advanced scouting and so and then when

208
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: you have the advance scouting telling you that every single

209
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: thing about every single picture and every single player on

210
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: the other team, it's an advantage. Now, chef, you coach.

211
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: Along with being a sports agent, you also coach baseball.

212
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: You coach your What are your son's high schools at

213
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: Tampa Prep. We've seen We've seen all these guys tattoos jr. Uh.

214
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: You know, Um, there's so many guys who have sons

215
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: now in the big leagues. It's incredible. Uh. Toronto has

216
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: a slew of former players sons playing. Uh. Tell me

217
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: about your son, Uh, how good he is and what

218
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: position he plays and and his future? Does he have

219
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: a chance to make it to the big league while

220
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: all of my boys have a chance? You know, I

221
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: have one in south West West Georgia. He's playing center field. Um,

222
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: I have one. Uh he's a center field that he's

223
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: going into a senior year. Uh. He's been recruited at

224
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: Dartmouth University. Um, you got the Vanderbills, you got the St. John's,

225
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: you got all of these schools that's recruiting him. His

226
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: upside is tremendous, you know, He's like identical size as

227
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: I was in high school, maybe a little bigger and longer.

228
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: Uh he's a lot faster. Uh. He hits the ball

229
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: just as far as I did. The thing about him

230
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: was he was a standout football player that was recruited

231
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: all over the place for football, and he got away

232
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: from it for a while. But now he's just committed

233
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: to baseball and he's a raw kid, and I think

234
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: he's upside is so high, and the skies the limit.

235
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: And then my four team, Oh he's the he's the

236
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: chosen one. Everybody says that this kid is special. Um

237
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: on the baseball field, he does things with ease. And

238
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: then I got my twelve year olds. His hands as

239
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: big as mine already, so I think he's gonna be

240
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: my biggest kid. So you know, I'm on the grind

241
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: with these kids all day every day. But you know

242
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: one thing that we got to change in this world,

243
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: and like you said, as a crazy world, is getting

244
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: these black kids in these D one schools and giving

245
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: them the opportunity to play D one baseball, no doubt.

246
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: All right. His name is Gary Cheffield, and as usual, Chef,

247
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna get my hall of Fame vote

248
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: because you are a Hall of Fame of my man.

249
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining the podcast, and I

250
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: really appreciate j rob Man. Keep keep doing what you're doing,

251
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: doing wonderful work. It's time for the pocket Protector Central,

252
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: the analytic numbers you need to know. Well, maybe Anthony

253
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: Masterson is his name. B S Analytics is his game.

254
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: What do you got for me, Anthony? Well, we've seen

255
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: plenty of consternation about the three oh pitch lately, most

256
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: notably for Nao Tati Juniors grand slam on a three

257
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: oh pitch with his team up seven runs a few

258
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: weeks back. Now, putting all the insane hot takes aside,

259
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: Tati Juniors diinger was a microcosmos something we're seeing more

260
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: and more lately in Major League Baseball fantastic. Andrew Simon

261
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: over MLB dot Com did a deep dive on this

262
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: exact phenomen and on recently, showing that players are swinging

263
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: at three oh more than they have as far back

264
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: as when pitch tracking became a thing. At the rate

265
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: of swings on three occounts of risen in nine of

266
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: the last ten years. For a few reasons, for starters

267
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: it's normally the best pitch you're gonna see internet bat.

268
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: According to stab cast, last year, thirty four point two

269
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: percent of fastballs were in the heart of the zone

270
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: on three occounts, by far the highest mark of any count,

271
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: and if you don't swing there. With the ridiculous stuff

272
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: pitchers possessed these days, you probably won't see anything close

273
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: or straight the rest of the a B. Now through

274
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: the games on Monday, too, hitters are opsic nearly two

275
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: thousand on three accounts, which would be the highest mark

276
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: since they've already been twelve home runs on three occounts

277
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: this year and only a month's worth of games. Or

278
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: put another way, one fewer than was hit in the

279
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: entire nineteen season. Guys forget to take sign let it eat,

280
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: no matter the count that it was a big week

281
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: in the Big League? Who's Who's? Is it followed? Or

282
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: is it fair? And now here? Shadow League dot Com

283
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: MLB insider JR Gambo Jr. Is it foul or fair

284
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: to say that the Gnats should have let Steven Strasburg

285
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: leaving free agency having completed the job of winning a

286
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: World Series m v P in twenty nineteen, rather than

287
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: invest two hundred and forty five million dollars in an

288
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: injury prone picture. Fair. That's a fair all. Strasburg has

289
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: been talented but injury prone in his career. In two

290
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: thousand tended was the Tommy John surgery that he had

291
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: prior that limited him in his debut season in two

292
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: thousand eleven was a wash, and he came back from

293
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: elbow ligament replacement surgery in two thousand twelve where they

294
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: basically rebuilt his arm and he pitched great, but in

295
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: any of his limit kept him out of the playoffs.

296
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: After that, he made two hundred starts with that arm,

297
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: and he was an All star doing it. Injuries aside.

298
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: He lived up to the top building he came into

299
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: the league with. But we all know he's fragile. The

300
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: six three, two hundred forty five town frame is intricately constructed.

301
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: It was a matter of time before he got hurt again.

302
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: To give him a hundred and forty five million dollar

303
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: raised was honorable, but highly questionable, So I thought already

304
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: gave the Washington Nationals his best ten years two thousand

305
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: twelve to two thousand nineteen, five trips to the playoffs

306
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: for NL East titles and he was the NATZ leader

307
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: in War thirty three point three. It might have been

308
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: best to cut ties and look at it as a

309
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: great decade. Now they are stuck with the thirty five

310
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: million dollar per year thirty two year old Albatroz until

311
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: two thousand twenty six. Now it's time for some diamond

312
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: dust with wish TVs. Phil Sanchez. He played baseball in college.

313
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: Now Here is MLB knowledge. Well, baseball is the numbers game,

314
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: so let's talk numbers. Eleven thousand, that's how many wins

315
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: the Chicago Cubs have as a franchise, the team reaching

316
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: that milestone this week with a win over the Detroit Tigers.

317
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: Congrats to the Cubbies, who now only trailed the Giants

318
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: for the second most victories in the history of Major

319
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: League Baseball two thousand eighty seven. That's the number of

320
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: RBIs that Albert Pouholt now has in his career Wells,

321
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: surpassing Alex Rodriguez earlier this week, placing Cools second on

322
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: the all time list behind Hank Aaron one hundred as

323
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: in one hundred years. That's when Ray Chapman died one

324
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: hundred years ago. Chapman is the only major League player

325
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: to be killed by a pitched ball. But Chapman isn't

326
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: only known for that terrible incident. He's also happens to

327
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: own a record, albeit lesser known, even the single season

328
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: leader in sacrifice bunts with sixty seven in nineteen seventeen,

329
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: and finally four oh five. That's what Rockies right fielder

330
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: Charlie Blackman was hitting heading into this week, sparking conversation

331
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: that Blackman could become the first player since Ted Williams

332
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: hit four hundred on the season. Well, if that happens,

333
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: there will, no doubt definitely be an asterisk to the accomplishment. Still,

334
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: a four hundred batting average in a sixty game season

335
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: not easy to do, especially considering how difficult it is

336
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: to hit for average in today's game, or perspective the

337
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: league wide batting average. The league why batting average just

338
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: two thirty five, and that's the lowest in baseball history.

339
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: Now bring in the closer. Here's why MLB is better

340
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: than the NFL or NBA, and it isn't even close.

341
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: Here's another reason why baseball is better than the nb

342
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: A and the NFL. It's because of players like Pirates

343
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: second baseman Kevin Newman. He's not only swinging a beat

344
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: to try to help the pirates win, but he's also

345
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: trying to help the community during this COVID nineteen. How

346
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: you feeling, Buddy, feeling good? Feeling good? Thank you for

347
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: having me Rob, I appreciate it. Kevin, you also have

348
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: a fund ways of going on you and your wife,

349
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: which is pretty impressive in aid to try to help

350
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: support COVID relief efforts in Pittsburgh. Can you tell people

351
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: about that and how they can get involved? Yeah? So,

352
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: um so, my wife and I are really trying to

353
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: think of some ways that we could help the community.

354
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: Obviously just a really tough time now for everybody. Um So,

355
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: what we ended up doing was partnering with the Pittsburgh

356
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: Foundations Emergency Action Funds UM you know, which is targeting

357

402
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: was a you know, kind of precautionary sort of deal.

403
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: It just felt a little something on the swing. Um,

404
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: there was a lower lower apps strain pretty mild, so Um,

405
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: just day to day right now, and um, you know

406
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: you have taken it one day at a time. Hopefully

407
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: get back out there soon. Awesome. I know it's been

408
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: a tough year for the Pirates. How how tough is

409
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: it to play under these conditions? Kevin? Yeah, you know

410
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: it's definitely strange. Um, it's not anything that we've ever

411
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: um you know, done before, and uh it's certainly weird.

412
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: It's different. Um, but you know every team is doing

413
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: it so um, so it's just, uh, it's hard. It's

414
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: hard to describe. But um, but yeah, something something kind

415
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: of weird. Did you ever think about not taking part

416
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: in this? Um? I did not personally. Um, you know

417
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: I was gonna play regardless. So UM, you know, the

418
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: league done a good job of keeping it safe for

419
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: us and putting in um some good guidelines to help

420
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: protect the players. So I think that helps a lot

421
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: of people. UM, you know, definitely makes us a little

422
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: more comfortable. You had a tremendous uh rookie season about

423
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: at three oh eight? Uh the adjustment? How difficult was

424
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: it or or is it still an adjustment as you

425
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: go on? You know, after you had success for first year,

426
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: they are they pitching. You any different lead this year, Um,

427
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's definitely always an adjustment. Um yeah,

428
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: you know, had a good gear, came back just trying

429
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: to build on that. Um you know. It's it's funny, man,

430
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: it's hard to it's hard to see if they're Jimmy

431
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: differently or if they're just um, you know, trying to

432
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: battle through the coronavirus. Um. You know, spring training one,

433
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: spring training to the whole deal, kind of like the

434
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: hitters are. So it's um, you know, I think I

435
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: think everything is just a little bit strange right now.

436
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I haven't seen much different pitches

437
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: or pitching, um, you know, tendencies. But but everybody's kind

438
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: of just going out there trying to trying to do

439
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: everything they can, you know, trying to stay healthy and

440
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,840
