1
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:03,159
Speaker 1: It's here.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 2: It's happening, happy Opening Day after Opening Night, which we'll

3
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: get into. We are here, we are watching baseball today.

4
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 2: There's actually only one early game that starts, and I

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: think about fifteen minutes or so, AJ and me were

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: scrambling to figure out where it was. It's going to

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: be a fun game this year to figure out where

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: games are.

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one knows. No one knows. No local stations

10
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 3: know that. I guess the locals just found out yesterday

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 3: where most of their games are.

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, they just announced it this morning for fans.

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it's fine. Listen, I get it. It's about money.

14
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: You got to grow out what you can. But I

15
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 3: still I'm a big Opening day day guy.

16
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 4: Not at night.

17
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 3: I'm just not a I'm not. I said it the

18
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 3: other day. I just wish that they would go back

19
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 3: to it's opening day.

20
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 4: They should.

21
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 3: You know, kids are excited, they get out of school,

22
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 3: they get to go watch their team whatever, or you know,

23
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: the teacher turns it on or they're trying to watch

24
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: it on their phone.

25
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 4: Whatever. But I'm just a big Opening day guy daytime.

26
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, are you okay with today having some games

27
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:08,559
Speaker 2: spread out?

28
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

29
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: With that okay, but they should be on the same day,

30
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: and I get whether or not I understand, fine, but yeah,

31
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 3: I just wish they were all on most of them

32
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: because some teams fill played on tomorrow and then some

33
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: teams start today, and it's just like, Wow, there's a lot.

34
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: There's a lot to keep up with, and I've even

35
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: reached a point where it is going to be a

36
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: fun game to find where, for example, the Yankees are

37
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: playing on a daily basis. There are double digit options,

38
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: but we have one new option for you if you're

39
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: a Twins fan. So let's announce that because that show

40
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: is ready to go in up there for the world.

41
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: To consume Twin Cities territory.

42
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: Zach Pierce and Dan Hayes will run Point as the

43
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: main two hosts, and Tyler Duffy also will be a

44
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: part of the mix part of the FT Network.

45
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: We're excited about it. There it is. Do you like

46
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: the skyline? I always like to get your logo take.

47
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: I like Minnesota, always have.

48
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: Didn't you play there?

49
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: I did for a while. He did it.

50
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: They're going to have some stuff to talk about, stuff

51
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: to talk about. Yeah, what do you think Kratz?

52
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 5: Great logo? The logo team just killed it every single time.

53
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 5: They even had the Curse of Twins City. Correct, Yeah,

54
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 5: it's legit. I just need my nineteen eighty seven Frank

55
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 5: Viola jersey, and so when he shows up on the show,

56
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 5: the show will be complete.

57
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: Boom, there you go, and we will show you a

58
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: clip from that show a little bit later on. Let's

59
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: get to some news to start charge about. Uh oh,

60
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 2: you hate the opening day I el stints Jackson Cheerio

61
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 2: fractured left hand, so he hurt his hand during an

62
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: exhibition game when his team was prepping for the World

63
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: Baseball Classic.

64
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: I think he missed.

65
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: Two games at the time and then played in the

66
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 2: rest of the Classic, and then this news pops up

67
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: on Opening Days. So I don't know every single detail,

68
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: but clearly it did not heal.

69
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, just bad news. I mean, just added to the

70
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: list of Brewer things. They always seem to get through.

71
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: It material going down. There's a big blow for them,

72
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: but the Brewers find a way. They called up they

73
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 3: called up someone uh jeezu, I'm sorry I went blank,

74
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: but I know they called up someone I had heard of.

75
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 3: So it wasn't like they called up some guy that

76
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: hadn't have a little bit of experience Blake Perkins, who

77
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: has done some nice things. Yeah, so I think that, yeah,

78
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: this is fine. It hurts, But for the Brewers, is

79
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: going to come down to their pitching. Can they pitch

80
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: good enough without losing Freddy will Big, Will Woodruf be

81
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: good enough? I mean, it's just to me, it's about

82
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: their pitching. This is a big blow, yes, but the

83
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: Brewers always seemed to find a way.

84
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: Perkins gives you a nice speed defense combo. Jake Powers

85
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: is going to get the start in Churio's place today.

86
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: It sounds like two to four weeks was the initial

87
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: initial prognosis. I would tend to think with that kind

88
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: of injury in that age player Kratz, it's going to

89
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: be more towards the.

90
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: Four and so we'll see him in mid to late April.

91
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 5: I would say the other way, I would say, yes,

92
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 5: I get it, you don't want to rush it. But

93
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 5: he's twenty two years old, like some people aren't even

94
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 5: graduating college right now, twenty two years old. So I

95
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 5: think he's going to heal pretty quick. I think they

96
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 5: know they can't miss many games without him, because Glenn

97
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 5: Perkins can do some nice things, but you got I

98
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 5: mean Blake Perkins, not Glenn Perkins. Blake Perkins can do

99
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 5: some nice things, but nobody's gonna Obviously, the ceiling is

100
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 5: where you need Jackson Churio to get to, and he

101
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 5: hasn't quite reached that yet, but he adds an electric

102
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 5: piece to that lineup that they desperately need.

103
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 2: Kratz, your former teammate, Christian Yelich wants to play the

104
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 2: outBut field, and it sounds like they're going to give

105
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: him that opportunity with this news.

106
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: Are we good with that?

107
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: He's had what what's been the primary issue to back

108
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 2: for him?

109
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 6: The back? Was it all stemmed? Yeah? He was.

110
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 5: He's been dealing with his back for a shoot back

111
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 5: when I was playing with him. You know, I think

112
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 5: it's just something that the way he the way he

113
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 5: spins and rotates. I think it's something that he's had

114
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 5: to deal with. I think he's got that cleared up.

115
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 5: But after that kneecap injury that you know, cost him

116
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 5: his second MVP, I think it's something that he slowly

117
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 5: worked back. But I think he's really gotten to the

118
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 5: point where he's healthy. How much do you want him

119
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 5: to play in the outfield. He's going to be fine

120
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 5: out there. It's about him being on his feet that

121
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 5: whole time. Does that affect his back, because if it does,

122
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 5: then you got to have somebody else out there, because

123
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 5: he'll play a fine outfield. He does a great job

124
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 5: of keeping the ball in front. He doesn't throw, he

125
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 5: doesn't make bad throws. He doesn't have like the most

126
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 5: tremendous arm, So he'll be serviceable out there.

127
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 6: But for a whole one sixty two Nah.

128
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: A baseball season is finally here, and there's nothing like

129

149
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 2: I'm not too concerned. They didn't really turn it on

150
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: last year until the last two three months.

151
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 3: Well, the first four games it got smashed by the Yankees.

152
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: Remember the Torpedo Bats.

153
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: Were like, oh, the Brewers, they've lost it. No, they

154
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: had the most wins in baseball last year, so yeah,

155
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: it sucks to lose.

156
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: Cher Area is one of your better bats.

157
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: I'm not too concerned about it, especially, like you said,

158
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: on the offensive side of things, they should be a

159
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: pretty solid offense with their own unique flavor. It's going

160
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: to be the same flavor offense. They keep acquiring similar types,

161
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: right you plug in a David Hamilton, a Jet Williams,

162
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: all these kind of guys that they keep acquiring to

163
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: be in their system and the organization. Minor leagues are

164
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: major leagues. No, Kratz, you don't think so.

165
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I get it. Durbin and Collins like

166
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 5: they had success last year. Were they elite players? No,

167
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 5: they weren't elite players. But now you're plugging in guys

168
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 5: that you're like, I hope we have success Andrew Vaughn

169
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 5: thing worked out, Like you can't just constantly keep hitting

170
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 5: on these guys. It's like, oh, we're going to replace

171
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 5: it with the next hopefully the guy works out type

172
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 5: of player. And when you lose a cheerio, I think

173
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 5: that I'm more concerned about it than I think you are.

174
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 6: Scott. Okay.

175
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: Are they plugging a player into a system or they're

176
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 2: finding a player that they think they can tap into

177
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: more or I guess.

178
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: For me, it's more they try to find players that

179
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: they can tap into. That is Murph's style that he

180
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 3: likes around that, Like the lefty pitcher is.

181
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: Harrison, Kyle Harrison, the guy.

182
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: Who is a breakout Kennedy for a lot of people

183
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 3: because he's going to get thrown into the Brewers pitching

184
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 3: lab and the way they do things there. So I

185
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: think they more try to find people that fit into

186
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: their system than going out and finding and Murph does

187
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: a good job of also adjusting to people. But I

188
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 3: think they do a good job of finding people that

189
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 3: they like that have certain skill sets that work together.

190
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: Speeding, yes, speeding defense. And Kratz doesn't have to make

191
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: in the playoffs this year. Yep, I said it with

192
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: my chest. Yep, you did, and you might be right.

193
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: We'll see. Cubs definitely should be better, Pirate should be better.

194
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: Are they going to be great? I don't think so.

195
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: But are they going to be better?

196
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: Yes?

197
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 2: Red should be similar so last year, so Cardinal should

198
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: be worse. So we'll see. All right, let's move on

199
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 2: to the next topic. Last night's game, it was just

200
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 2: one game, but the Yankee smacked the Giants, so first

201
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: off game thoughts.

202
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 3: It was a game logan web, they jumped on logan

203
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 3: web in the second ending. Game was over in the

204
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 3: second ending when they went up five to nothing. Max

205
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 3: feed was great. Uh, a little more speed, a little

206
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 3: more aggressiveness from the Yankees than what we had seen

207
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 3: last year.

208
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 4: Cover Euro when you went first to third in the

209
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 4: leftfielder's face was fun. Stan look good?

210
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: Uh?

211
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 4: Free you pitched well.

212
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 3: Obviously everyone's overreacting about Judge going over five with four punches.

213
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 4: It happens. I mean I did.

214
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 3: I did Barstool this morning, wake up Barstool and Fox

215
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: and they one of the guys asked me if Aaron

216
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 3: Judge was beginning to be washed, and he had Phillies

217
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: Jersey on, so I told him to clown question.

218
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 4: It's one game, I.

219
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: Guarantee, he said, Aaron Judge washed.

220
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 6: It's like, is he.

221
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 3: Starting to get washed after the WBC and his four

222
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: strikeout game?

223
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 4: And I'm like, dude, stop like please.

224
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: But no, I thought it was It was a fine.

225
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: It was a baseball game. You never know what's gonna have.

226
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: Of course, everyone wanted a three to two nail bier

227
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 3: that comes on the last thing he did it. Yankees

228
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: jumped them, they jumped them early. It was fine, it

229
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 3: was It was a nice intro to the season.

230
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: Which is rare for Logan web.

231
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he still gives them five innings. It's amazing.

232
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 4: It's amazing.

233
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: Right after the what was it the second, then the

234
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: third and the fourth went went very nicely. Yeah, and

235
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 2: then in the fit there were a few you know,

236
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: hard contact knocks to start the inning. But what did

237
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: you think, Kratz of the Yankee showing up with some

238
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 2: offense and the Giants showing up with what three hits?

239
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean the whole note hit thing.

240
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 5: That's probably concerning just because you see the guys that

241
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 5: are in the lineup and you're like, Lee's going to

242
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 5: be your fifth hitter, and a lineup that they need

243
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 5: to make contact, and they did that last night. So

244
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 5: I guess that's a positive out of the fact that

245
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 5: they still only had three hits, you know, if I'm

246
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 5: trying to make something positive out of it. But to me,

247
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 5: the story was the fact that the Yankees did it

248
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 5: without needing to beat the ball out of the stadium,

249
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 5: like they did it by putting the ball in play.

250
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 6: How do you do that against logan web? You do

251
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 6: it early.

252
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 5: You jump them early, because then you if you don't,

253
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 5: you know, then that sinker gets a little bit more

254
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 5: sync to it. Then that four steamer changes your eye

255
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 5: level and you never want to face that change up.

256
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 5: So I think they did a good job of just

257
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 5: jumping them early, but hitting as a lineup, and then

258
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 5: Max Free. You give Max Free to lead. He's one

259
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 5: of the better pitchers in the game at pitching with

260
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 5: the lead. And I say that because I think some

261
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 5: guys just have one route to a successful game, and

262
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 5: that is strike one. Go for the strikeout, Go for

263
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 5: the strikeout, go for the strikeout. And I think Max

264
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 5: Freed does a really good job once he gets a lead,

265
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 5: landing pitches that he's like, hey, you know what if

266
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 5: you hit this ball hard at worst as a double,

267
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 5: and then he's ahead and account and he's able to

268
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 5: go deeper into games and give you quality innings. And

269
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 5: so Max Freed off to another off to a good start.

270
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 5: Can he get twenty wins this year?

271
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, if he stays on there.

272
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 4: But we did have only one ABS right last night.

273
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 4: I don't know. I turned it off and it was seven.

274
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 1: Nothing, I believe, just the one from one.

275
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 4: And what was the outcome, I don't even know because

276
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 4: I didn't see it.

277
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: But I was.

278
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 4: I know it was cayby Erra, but it was in

279
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 4: the middle of it.

280
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: People that don't like the manager interviews, fine, but they're

281
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 3: gonna happen, and it just was weird. Normally, I know

282
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: on Fox when we do them, we split the screen

283
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 3: so you can still see what's happening? And also I

284
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 3: know when we have Ken and uh Berducci doing the interviews,

285
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 3: they'll stop and say, hey, hold on, we need to

286
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 3: go to this. They'll stop the guy, which they I mean,

287
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: there's not I'm knock on Lauren at all.

288
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 6: Orange Now.

289
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: It's tricky, but it was.

290
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: It's a tricky thing. So people that were upset, I

291
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 3: get it. I just thought they should have split screen

292
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: instead of and stopped and be like, hey, hold on,

293
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 3: and then they had the manager on. They could have

294
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 3: said what do you think of the abs right then

295
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: and there. Yeah, that was the only thing, Like they

296
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 3: just didn't show it.

297
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a tough spot there. There were some

298
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: technical issues.

299
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 4: You might getting into all that because it was their

300
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 4: first broadcast.

301
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, they have.

302
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 3: Room to grow. Fine exactly, but that was the one

303
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: thing that most people are complaining about.

304
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 4: I get it.

305
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 3: It was the first one ever. Like you could stop

306
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: a manager interview in the middle and say, hey, this

307
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 3: is the first one of this ever.

308
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 4: Let's show it. H That's fine. It didn't happen, but fine.

309
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: Yep, I'm with you.

310
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: Paul Schemes did not make it out of the first

311
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 2: inning in Queens opening day, thirty seven pitches. I mean,

312
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: you can't let him go much past that. Anyway. Mett's

313
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: got to him a little bit, O'Neil Cruz got to

314
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: him a little bit twice.

315
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 4: Baseball is hard. It happened, and I don't even need

316
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 4: to I don't know.

317
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 3: There was a couple of wins blowing when went over

318
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 3: said he lost one in the sun.

319
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 4: Stuff happens.

320
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: Man, Baseball's hard. But does that happen to every center fielder?

321
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: Like where sure every centerfielder has lost the ball in

322
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 3: the sun. He should ask Kevin Blar he's lost one

323
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 3: in the sun.

324
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 4: I'm sure.

325
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: Darren urstaid one time we went to Anaheim and he said,

326
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 3: I've never lost the ball in the twilight, And that

327
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 3: night first game centerfield.

328
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: He lost the ball in the twilight. So, I mean,

329
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: stuff happens.

330
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 6: I don't know.

331
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: Well, worried about skiing skeins will be fine.

332
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 5: Yeah it's not. But here's here's my question. For a

333
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 5: team like the Pirates, what are they build on? Yes,

334
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 5: they added offense, but they're built on pitching. Their defense

335
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 5: actually wasn't that bad. I think it was the sixth

336
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 5: best defense in the game last year, six or eight

337
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 5: somewhere in there. But if you have guys that can

338
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 5: hit playing positions that maybe they normally don't play. O'Neill Kruz,

339
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 5: I think is still learning the position. Last year was

340
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 5: his first year where he got thrust out there. He

341
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 5: did okay, But are you downgrading your defense and upgrading

342
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 5: your offense enough to make the to make to make

343
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 5: up the difference?

344
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: Hey, with Sea Keek, we're looking ahead at games. So

345
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: let's look at the weekend. Let's start with Friday. What

346
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 2: else do we have? Cam Schlittler is making his season debut.

347
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 2: We'll see if Luis Severino is the usual dude on

348
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: the road versus at home. Kevin Gossman pitching in that

349
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: game for Toronto, Chris Sale will pitch for Atlanta. Sandy

350
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: al Contra on the mound for the Marlins against the Rockies.

351
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: Atlanta, by the way.

352
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: Is playing the the Royals on the weekend.

353
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: Here that includes what's your game? Do you know who's pitching?

354
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 4: Oh?

355
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: No, they've started to lay him out.

356
00:15:59,560 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 6: Are good?

357
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 5: The matchups are good because it's all the best starting

358
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 5: pitchers going against each other.

359
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 6: But like the team.

360
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 5: Matchups, Pirates Mets, not a lot of fight in you know,

361
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 5: not like ooh, you know we're really banging heads here,

362
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 5: Twins Orioles, White Sox, Brewers. It just feels like I

363
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 5: wanted to look down the list and go, man, I'm

364
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 5: seeing all these all these number ones on the mound,

365
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 5: and I'm like Red Sox, Reds, like what Rangers, Phillies,

366
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 5: they have a long history of what opening days like.

367
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 5: It just feels like a weird, weird mishmash of teams.

368
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: I agree, some make sense, some don't.

369
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: By the way, AJ's game on Saturday is Waka against

370
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: Ronaldo Lopez.

371
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 4: Yeah it'd be good. Yeah, two good good names. Its

372
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 4: teammate Ronaldo.

373
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: Yea was he didn't really pitched last year.

374
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 3: No, but they said his villa was down the spring,

375
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: So we'll see. We'll find out together. But I can't

376
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 3: wait to go to Atlanta. It's gonna be fun see Vinnie,

377
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 3: see Jack, see a bunch of the Royals, and then

378
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: see a bunch of brave people that I know from

379
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 3: from a long time ago.

380
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: Code for you if you want to go to any

387
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 2: Green means good, red means it's not their favorite offer,

388
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 2: So look for the best values. They help you out

389
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: with that.

390
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: What do you guys think? Uh? Offense, defense balance?

391
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 3: I mean O'Neil Cruz was tought by one of the

392
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: best guys of all time this offseason, so he.

393
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 6: Cracked the code. Crack the code.

394
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 3: But listen, I mean O'Neil Cruz wasn't great at shortstop.

395
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: He definitely hasn't been great at center field. So I

396
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: guess his offense the piratesy can make up for the defense.

397
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 3: But where else do you put them? Where else do

398
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 3: you put If you don't put O'Neil Cruzin centerfield, where

399
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: do you put them corner? Okay, but you have Reynolds

400
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 3: and Ryan O'Hearn, So then who do you put center?

401
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 5: I mean, that's that's the that you're right, he should

402
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 5: be playing center. The question is more about do they

403
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 5: do you know? Is Brandon Lowe's defense ever going to

404
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 5: be as good as say a guy that the Pirates

405
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 5: would have called up or would have put at second base,

406
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 5: where they're like, well, we can't pay for offense, so

407
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 5: we're going to find the best defensive player. And that's

408
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 5: that's honestly where they were like, hey, we're gonna find

409
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 5: value in this defense. Look, they gave Key Brian Hayes

410
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 5: an extension. I don't know that they thought he was

411
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 5: going to be this, you know, twenty five home run

412
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 5: eighty five RBI type of guy. I think I would

413
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 5: hope their evaluations knew he wasn't going to be great offensively,

414
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 5: but he was great. He was elite defensively, and so

415
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 5: they're kind of trying to make that change. They didn't

416
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 5: go like crazy different, but to me, that's where it'll

417
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 5: be interesting to see how they do, because I truly

418
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 5: believe they're built on that pitching. They've built some pitching

419
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 5: from the minor leagues Schemes Keller, Bubba Chandler, and then

420
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 5: you know the other guys that they have coming. Also,

421
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 5: it's like you have to be able to back those guys.

422
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 5: You can't just be like, good job, guys, you've made it.

423
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 5: We're gonna put you on an island out there and

424
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 5: you better strike everybody out or you're not gonna get.

425
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 6: Through the games.

426
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 4: But how important is defense?

427
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 6: He's very important?

428
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 3: Okay, point There was an argument a couple of days

429
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 3: ago about a guy who signed an extension and if

430
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 3: he's only defense only, But now you're talking about how

431
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: defense is this and that I mean Jason Neaewart's und

432
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: a contract and people said basically for his defense, Peter Armstrong, Well,

433
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: what PCA is going to get now? Defense is important,

434
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 3: especially in center field. If you can sign a thirty

435
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: to thirty guy who had a down second imaginef you

436
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: didn't have a down second alps he forty forty, then

437
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: the deal looks like a steal for the team.

438
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 5: So, I mean, I don't know. It's interesting, and honestly,

439
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 5: you got to build, you got it. This is where

440
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 5: the whole like building the whole team. You have a

441
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 5: guy like aj Persinski on your team, one of the

442
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 5: best hitting catchers during his generation. You can have somebody

443
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 5: at another position that is gonna bring mostly just defense

444
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 5: because he's bringing offense at a position that you normally

445
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 5: don't get offense from. If you have me behind the dish,

446
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 5: you're gonna need somebody else to step up at another

447
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 5: position that normally isn't a major offensive position. That's why

448
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 5: teams that have elite players at catcher, shortstop, and center

449
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 5: field that can both hit and play defense at the

450
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 5: big league level, those are the teams that are in

451
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 5: playoff contention. Like it's not like this like crazy formula,

452
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 5: it's are you are you good up the middle?

453
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 6: Are you good.

454
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 5: Close to the ball? And then does the rest do

455
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 5: the rest of the guys hit? And that's the question

456
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 5: that the Pirates and the Pirates fans are gonna need

457
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 5: to watch and or gonna get to watch this year

458
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 5: and see which iteration of the Pirates is the most successful.

459
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 5: It's opening day, it's not even the second inning yet.

460
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 5: I don't think maybe they got to the I didn't

461
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 5: see if they got to the second inning yet.

462
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 6: But like, yeah, we're not overreacting. We're just making comments.

463
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, and this is our job. I mean,

464
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 2: we're doing a live show while there's a game going on,

465
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 2: and the best pitcher in the National League is going

466
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 2: up against the team that basically did a shift change

467
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: with half their rosters.

468
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 1: So you like to see what this all looks like.

469
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: Not all of the blame on O'Neil Cruz three walks

470
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: from schemes to other legit hits besides the two that

471
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 2: were missed by Cruise, but.

472
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 3: Almost an infield hit off the end of the bat

473
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 3: by Polanco and was a jam job by Soto, But

474
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: he did and he did hit Haldays. But yeah, I

475
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 3: mean and he did walk. Uh Luise Robert had a

476
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 3: hell of a bat in there too.

477
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: Did you hear what Louis Roberts said?

478
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 6: By the way he's motivated, He's.

479
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: Like, oh, I didn't get these crowds in Chicago. You

480
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: did for Opening Days.

481
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 4: Save it, dude.

482
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 3: You were on the teams when they won, So say

483
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: that's that's that's spilt milk leaves. Go kick rocks down

484
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: the street. Dude, that's such a lie. You didn't get

485
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 3: the teams. You want to know why you did get

486
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 3: the crowds because you weren't very good. You couldn't play,

487
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 3: that's the answer, do you know what?

488
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 6: Yeah?

489
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 4: Cool?

490
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 3: But if he were twenty one, you weren't complaining about

491
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 3: the crowds. And I was there for the postseason. You

492
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 3: had to blackout in the crazy game with the cane

493
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 3: guy and all that and the crowds were stacked.

494
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 4: You weren't complaining. Dude, don't don't take shots. I hate

495
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 4: when people do this.

496
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: Don't take shots at your old team because you couldn't play,

497
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: You were always hurt and you didn't perform.

498
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: Well, wait can I I think you can take shots

499
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: at your old team, but not in this case.

500
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 6: No.

501
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: Sometimes I think you can, But in this case, he's

502
00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 2: pointing to the fans not showing up.

503
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: The fans didn't show up because the team was terrible.

504
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying. The team weren't good.

505
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, if the fans aren't showing up and they're in

506
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: a hundred win team, yeah, sure you want to call

507
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 2: that out and be like, hey, where the fans at.

508
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: The fans weren't shown up because the team.

509
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 2: Sucked and all of the guys that they signed up

510
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 2: long term became busts.

511
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 5: I played an entire season where there was legally no

512
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 5: fans allowed in the stands. I promise you still get

513
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 5: the same You get still get the same focus level

514
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 5: to go out and perform because you're on a big

515
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 5: league field. You're going out to perform against other big leaguers,

516
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 5: not oh I'm gonna I'm gonna put on a dog

517
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 5: and pony show in front of all these fans.

518
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 6: No, Like does that mean?

519
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 5: Oh no, none of our fans showed up in away game,

520
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 5: So I didn't have enough energy, Like there was not

521
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 5: do you get energy from the stands? I get that,

522
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 5: But I watched I was in an entire season, sixty

523
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 5: two games where there was no fans, and I promise,

524
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 5: you can still go out and compete.

525
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: So overall it looked promising for the Pirates for a minute.

526
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: They had a two run home run from a new

527
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 2: edition in brandon Lau. But then you know, Skiens unravels

528
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: along with cruise on the I mean the second one

529
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: he lost the ball in the sun. The first one,

530
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 2: first step was in I mean, are you blaming that

531
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: also on the sun causing the issue?

532
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 6: I don't know.

533
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 3: I've never played center field. Like, I'm not blaming anyone,

534
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: and I'm not blaming anything. I mean, who knows the

535
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 3: wind's blowing out? Who knows? I mean, stuff happens. The

536
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 3: first game happened.

537
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 2: If it's June twentieth, it's whatever. But because it's today.

538
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: And because it was Skeens, yes, because he gave up

539
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 3: the short I mean, the shortest start of his career,

540
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 3: and he gave up five runs in an inning.

541
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 4: That's why we're talking about it.

542
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 3: If it was June twenty eighth, then it was whoever

543
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 3: name another pitcher on the planet other than probably Trek Scoogle. Okay,

544
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: it was a bad inning. It was a bad start.

545
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 3: Freddy Prout the last year, I don't think made it

546
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 3: out of the first inning on opening there. If he did,

547
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 3: it was much longer and he ended up.

548
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: Okay, do you know what's going to sift through the

549
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 2: toxic so social media airwaves. If there's another starter that

550
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: doesn't perform well that pitched in the World Baseball Classic

551
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: because web and schemes didn't pitch well, it's garbage.

552
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying it will pop up. People be Oh,

553
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have pitched in the Classic.

554
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 6: That's what it was. Okay.

555
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 5: Hey, if you hit the age where everything feels a

556
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 5: little bit more difficult the jim, Yes, but everything like

557
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 5: energy crashes in the afternoon.

558
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 2: You know, you might have been reading about low te

559
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: and you see your doctor about it and they want

560
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 2: to give you basically shots every week for the rest

561
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: of your life. Oh cool, that sounds fun, and then

562
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 2: you dig deeper and you realize what you're signing up for,

563
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: and it's three grand a year to shut down your

564
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 2: body's natural production forever.

565
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,080

578
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: Hey.

579
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 2: Welcome to ABS Challenge System World and umpires Scorecard. The

580
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 2: Twitter account provided some information, so let's go over a

581
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: little bit of it right now. They said, we're excited

582
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 2: to anounce some stats related to the new Challenge system.

583
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: So they said the Yankees had the highest challenge utilization

584
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 2: rate at thirty seven percent, using challenges and situations where

585
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: it would be the right choice. Remember when the Brewers

586
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 2: were trying to do the green card to say, oh,

587
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 2: this would be the right choice time period. Well, you

588
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: can't do that, But the Yankees were doing that well.

589
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: They also had the lowest challenge restraint rate at ninety

590
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: seven point two percent.

591
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: This is going offspring training, by the way.

592
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 2: They challenge when they shouldn't more than any other team.

593
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 2: Combining restraint and utilization, they created the Challenge I score,

594
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 2: the rate at which players and teams make the correct

595
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: challenge decision.

596
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: I feel like you're just gonna love this stat.

597
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: The catchers with the highest Challenge I score this spring

598
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: where will Banfield and Hayzus Rodriguez head close to ninety

599
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 2: eight percent.

600
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: But that's just one of many stats. A great question.

601
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 6: They had a great spring training, did an awesome job.

602
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 6: Good for them. Yeah, teams are also supposed to do.

603
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 5: I know the Yankees are supposed to push the limit

604
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 5: in spring training. Sorry, I mean this is going to

605
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 5: be a cool stat moving forward, But spring training, you're

606
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 5: supposed to push the limit. How many of those fifty

607
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 5: to fifty balls are you getting?

608
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 4: Right?

609
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 5: The umpires are guessing, so are the catchers, and so

610
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 5: are the hitters.

611
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: Isn't the point to point out the egregious stuff early

612
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 2: on in games and be very careful about the borderline pitches.

613
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: Yes, Bryce Trange is challenged on one that was at

614
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 3: all kinds of late so and he lost.

615
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 4: I don't know.

616
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: Umpires might have a good day. They got the they

617
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 2: went one for one yesterday. There was an overturned right

618
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: one in in the Mets game. I mean, we can't

619
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 2: follow everything right now, but crews got wrung up on

620
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 2: a challenge I think in that game. But the stat

621
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: that you want to see is the challenge percentage for hitters, right.

622
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 4: I just want to know who's right and who's not right.

623
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, Because then doesn't that help you cats and hitters, and.

624
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: It helps you choose who can who can who who's

625
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: supposed to challenge catchers? No pitcher should ever be allowed

626
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 3: to challenge if I was a manager. And two, once

627
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 3: you missed a couple as a catcher or a hitter,

628
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 3: then you're told by the manager there's another one right there.

629
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 4: Automated balls and strikes overturned right there?

630
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 2: Oh in the Cubs Game's Cubs, that's just that's just

631
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: did one.

632
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: So if you have a good percentage.

633
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 5: It's gonna fit. It's gonna be fifty two to forty

634
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 5: eight percent. It's really what's gonna happen.

635
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: You think it's gonna be that close?

636
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 2: You don't think there's gonna be a few guys that

637
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 2: are at like sixty two percent.

638
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 4: Tell me some guys that are right more than wrong.

639
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 6: Noh, totally.

640
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, how much more do you think?

641
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: What do you think the variants level will be for

642
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: you know, uh, whatever they qualified as a minimum of

643
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, twenty challenges for the year. What do

644
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 2: you think the variants will be? Like the lowest end

645
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: and the highest end?

646
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean there's gonna be guys that are only

647
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: gonna be They're only gonna they're gonna be ninety percent.

648
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 5: They're gonna get because they're not gonna push the limit

649
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 5: unless it's extreme. I think those are gonna be the

650
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 5: and it's not gonna be the stars because the stars

651
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 5: are gonna be able to use it late in the

652
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 5: game and they're gonna get ones wrong that they're gonna

653
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 5: be like gotta at least try it just ended the game,

654
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 5: so you're gonna get those. It's like saying, oh, my

655
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 5: free My three point percentage is off because I take

656
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 5: the buzzer beaters. You know, a lot of NBA dudes

657
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 5: they don't even shoot the they don't even shoot the

658
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 5: three pointer at the end of the quarter whatever because

659
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 5: the time's running out and it affects their affects their

660
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 5: shot percentage. So to me, it's gonna there's gonna be

661
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 5: the dudes that get go a whole season. They might

662
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 5: do twelve challenges, which would be a lot of challenges

663
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 5: and not get one wrong, and then there's gonna be

664
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 5: dudes who get every single one of them wrong.

665
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 2: We have this tweet from Andy Coska in slap Pans

666
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: here Baltimore banner. He's talking about the video game world

667
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: and injuries. So we can run it. It relates a

668
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: little bit here to Jackson Holliday. He's been using axe

669
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 2: handlebats after breaking the hammetbone. He's not back at he's

670
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: not here to start Opening Day. It's because of Fortnite

671
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: kind of. Heston Kerstad plays Fortnite with Corbyn Carrol, who

672
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: also broke his hammetbone. Carol told kurs ed D to

673
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: tell Holiday try the axe handle.

674
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the Axeandol has been around for a

675
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: few years now. I actually have a bat here. I

676
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 3: actually held the bat like that. I mean, I still

677
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 3: broke my handmate, but I actually held if you can

678
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 3: show my bottom hand, so I didn't hold the bat.

679
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 3: I actually held the bat more like this, which is

680
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: how the axe handle fits pee a loanza is it

681
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 3: as opposed to a lot of guys who hold it

682
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: more straight with the knob or even hang over them.

683
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,479
Speaker 3: But I actually always kind of held it like this,

684
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 3: which is kind of how the axe handle works. See

685
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 3: how it's not straight and flat. It's kind of at

686
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 3: an angle this way. That's what the axe handle does,

687
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 3: and it's supposed to help you get more whip. Now

688
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,479
Speaker 3: whether it helped me or not, I don't know, but

689
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 3: that was just always the way I held the bat.

690
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 3: I could never hold it straight. I always kind of was.

691
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 3: People were like, oh, you're choking up. No, I'm not

692
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 3: choking up. I'm actually on the knob. But I just

693
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 3: hold it. I don't hold it straight. That was just

694
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 3: the way I always did it.

695
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 6: I don't know why.

696
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 3: But now they make a bat and if it helps

697
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 3: them get back sooner from the handmade bone, I'm all

698
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 3: for it. But I know I switched bats one year

699
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 3: and I couldn't wait to switch back.

700
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: Did you tried the axe handle?

701
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 3: I know teammates had it, but I just I held

702
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 3: it like an axe handle. So when never, I never?

703
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 3: I switched bats one time my career was the worst

704
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,959
Speaker 3: decision I made. Paul Kenerko talked me into it.

705
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 4: Terrible, I do, absolutely terrible.

706
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: I do. You just didn't feel comfortable with a different battle.

707
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 3: So Paul I used to break a lot of bats,

708
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 3: and when my bats would break, it would break, and

709
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 3: Paul would always get a thing in his thumb because

710
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 3: he worked thicker. He used thicker handle bats than me,

711
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 3: So then I would get jammed, bat would break, and

712
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 3: then my thumb started hurting, and I'm like, damn, dude,

713
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 3: I'm one of your thumb hurts all the time. So

714
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 3: then I switched back and it went away.

715
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: Right, So he was using the wrong bat or worked

716
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: for plus homers. It worked for him.

717
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 4: I think it worked great for him.

718
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but not for you. You've got to use your

719
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: own back.

720
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 4: He had more balls in the barrel than I did.

721
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 2: Okay, hey for tomorrow's show, Friday show, and yes we're
