1
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: And we've got Max Munzi ready to go back to

2
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: back champ with us on FT Max, good to see you.

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: While we were talking about it for a moment, AJ

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: and me were in some silly deferrals debate yesterday. I'm

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: not going to bring that to this, but I do

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: want to bring this part of the conversation up.

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: Max.

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: Did you know that the Dodgers are actually not the

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: only team that gives out deferrals? Almost every deal I've

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: been reading this offseason involves other teams giving out deferrals.

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Dylan c Scott a chunk of deferrals. So

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: it's it's maybe not as unfair in the landscape as

13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: we thought it was going to be, or as some

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: people are told by the league.

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: What do you think? Yeah, I mean, every team's always

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 2: been allowed to do it. It's not like we crack

17
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: some secret code. Yeah. Like I said, every team's always

18
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 2: been allowed to do it, and that's that's how it's

19
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: always been. It's uh uh, it just you have to

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: as a player, you have to, you know, want to

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: agree to that. And then you know, my understanding of

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: how the deferrals work is the club has to be

23
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: able to front that money even though they're not paying

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: it to you. They stuff to be able to cover

25
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 2: that money right away. And so that might be where

26
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: it gets tricky with the clubs and not want to

27
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: do deferrals. But uh yeah, every team has always been

28
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: allowed to do it.

29
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: I mean, this is I wasn't gonna ask this until

30
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: you said it. But did you ever see a time

31
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 3: when Showhey was like, guys, can I borrow a few

32
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 3: bucks because he was only making two million dollars this year?

33
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 3: Or was he was? He totally find the same generous

34
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 3: show Hey that he's always been a.

35
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: Mean shows never changed. I mean, let's be honest, Shows

36
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,119
Speaker 2: doing just fine with with his off the field stuff.

37
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: So h you know, I think I think he's doing

38
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: all right.

39
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 3: Okay, good, I'm glad you. I'm glad you clean that up.

40
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: But I'm going to go to your teammates because another

41
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: team had something come up that I thought was kind

42
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: of a know nothingness to talk about. But it was

43
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: arguments between players. Certain players will argue about how somebody

44
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 3: made a play or whatever. You guys won the World

45
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: Series this year, did you have any arguments at all

46
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: during one hundred and sixty two game plus spring training,

47
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,119
Speaker 3: plus World Series moment where somebody had to call somebody out,

48
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: somebody was mad at somebody else during the entire season.

49
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: You know, one of the unique things with our roster

50
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: is there's so much experience and you know, veterancy that

51
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: you know, when people get called out, it's never an argument.

52
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: It's always you know, hey, this is how we probably

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: should have done this, this is how you need to

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: do this. And like, there's so much respect for everyone

55
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: inside the clubhouse that that never turns into an argument.

56
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: It's always a discussion. It's you know, if if someone

57
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: came to me and was like, hey, you should do this,

58
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: I would tell them, all right, this is what I

59
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: was thinking. You're right, I prob I should have done

60
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: this way, But this is what was going through my

61
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: head at that moment. That's why I did it this way.

62
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: And that's happened several times throughout the course, you know,

63
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: of all the seasons I've been there, where they's just

64
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: it just turns into discussions instead of hey, what are

65
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 2: you doing. You need to pull your head out of

66
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: your you know, pull your head out of your butt,

67
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: and you know, it's it's never it's never been that

68
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: way since I've been here with the Dodgers, and you know,

69
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: there's been a lot of discussions that go on with

70
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 2: but it's it's it's just grown men having conversations about

71
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: what we need to do to be better at certain things.

72
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: And you know that that's just the whole team holding

73
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 2: each other accountable and it's never escalated to the point

74
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: of being you know, an argument that's that's caught on camera.

75
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 4: Max, Is that from Dave? Is that from Doc?

76
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 5: Or is that from guys like you and Freddie and

77
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 5: Mookie and Clayton.

78
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: And guys like that?

79
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 5: Because I listen, I've been on teams where guys we

80
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 5: won and you didn't always get along. There was there

81
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 5: was arguments or discussions or whatever you want to call it.

82
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 5: But does that think it's a day or is that

83
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 5: just think you guys are all really good and you're like,

84
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 5: you know what, we can have mature argument.

85
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 2: I think it's a it's an all the above thing.

86
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: You know, Doc has always had his finger on the

87
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: pulse of the clubhouse. He knows exactly what's going on

88
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: with people. He knows, you know, who he can talk

89
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 2: to certain ways. Uh, you know, because everyone's different there's

90
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: some guys that need to have you know, they need

91
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: to get chewed out a little bit, and there's other

92
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 2: guys you need to coddle them a little bit, and

93
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes you have to go outside the norm.

94
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: But but Doc always knows who he can talk to

95
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: and how he can approach certain ways and what he

96
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: needs to do to get the most out of players.

97
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: And then the other part of it is it's just

98
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: everyone in the clubhouse knowing. You know, if if if

99
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: Freddy is coming up to you and saying something, you're

100
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: not just going to immediately jump back at Freddie and

101
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: you know, start getting mad at him because it's like, Okay,

102
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: this guy's been around a long time, he knows what

103
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 2: he's doing. If Mookie's saying that, you know, I remember

104
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: very clearly, you know, within the first month of us

105
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: having show, Hey, there was a a play where he

106
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: was running the bases and he didn't get necessarily get

107
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: as good as secondary le. He wasn't able to score

108
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 2: on a certain play. And after the game it was

109
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 2: like Freddie Mookie Clayton, our first base coach, uh, you know,

110
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: several of us grabbed him and we just said, hey,

111
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 2: we just want to show you something. You know, this

112
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: is this is what you did on your secondary that

113
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: you need to be a little bit better at this

114
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: and that would allow you to score. And you know,

115
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: he was just like, oh, this is great. People were

116
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: approaching me and wanting to talk to me about that,

117
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: you know, And that's just that's how we've always done

118
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 2: things here and it's just, uh, you know, that's part

119
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: of the culture that we've created.

120
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 5: But by the way, your answer to the question is

121
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 5: you see over your one, I think it's this shoulder,

122
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 5: see the trophy, and then you're gonna have one over

123
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 5: this shoulder.

124
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that one, that's Oh, you're bad. Oh, and then

125
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 4: you're gonna have a third one.

126
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 5: What are you gonna do with it? You're gonna stack

127
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 5: on like a pyramid. You're gonna take the two, want

128
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 5: the third one on top? I mean, you're bad.

129
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: We're still we're still figuring that one out. You know

130
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: that that one's on the way. I don't know when

131
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: to get here, but yeah, well we'll figure out what

132
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: to do with it. I love that, I love I

133
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: love that.

134
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: Is there anybody is there anybody on the team that like,

135
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: you know, they don't respond to like the oh great job, Max. Oh,

136
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: that's like the example I give is d D. Gregorious

137
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: was always he like he would yell at somebody if

138
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 3: they if they said, oh, good swing, d D. He's like,

139
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: good swing.

140
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: He's like, I got out.

141
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 3: I don't care if I hit every ball hard and

142
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: I get out, I'm pissed. Who's that guy on the

143
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 3: Dodgers that just is like, no, it's all about like it.

144
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: Do not coddle me at all.

145
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Freddy's that way a little bit. Freddie always

146
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: thinks his swing sucks, and then he's hitting three thirty

147
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: at the end of the year and it's like, you know,

148
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: you know, it's just that that but that that's how

149
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 2: Freddie operates. That's what makes him, you know, one of

150
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: the best for his basement. Ever, that's just how he

151
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: that's how his mind operates. He he always thinks he

152
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: needs to fix something in his swing. And even though

153
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: his swing is super simple, it's it's you know, that's

154
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: just how he's always thinking. He's, oh, my swing's cutty.

155
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: You today, it's not going to work. And then he

156
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: has three doubles later in the game and he's still

157
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: sitting on the bench saying my swing's just not right,

158
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 2: and it's like, man, I wish my swing wasn't right.

159

180
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 5: Freddy is he'd be like, oh, I can't wait to

181
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 5: go home and see fred his dad and he's like, oh,

182
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 5: get me right, And you're like, Freddy, you're hitting three

183
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 5: thirty with thirty and one hundred and it's June. Oh yeah,

184
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 5: I can't wait to see what happens when your dad

185
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 5: sees you, because then you're what else can you do?

186
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 5: I used to love that because I played with Freddy,

187
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 5: you know, a long time ago, and he'd get three hits.

188
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 4: He'd be like, gosh, I had a bad night.

189
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 5: I'm like, Freddy, you had three hits, dude, Like, what

190
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 5: can you possibly complain about?

191
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 2: Exactly? But you know that that's just how he operates

192
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 2: and that's what makes him so good. And you know,

193
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: Mooki's a little bit of the same way, where you know,

194
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: the whole Mookie's whole work day. He'll sit there and

195
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: say that something's not working in a swing, and then

196
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: he goes out there and you know, he's hitting rockets

197
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: all over the field. And you know there's certain guys

198
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: that that's just how they operate. And then I've seen

199
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: the complete opposite side of that, where you know a

200
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: guy will take five swings and go, yep, I'm good,

201
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: and then he goes out there and he has three

202
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 2: hits and it's you know, everyone's different in how they work.

203
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: Maax, hold on, I got someone that wants to talk

204
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: to you. Hold on, Sit down, sit down. Do you

205
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 4: know do you remember guy any brad Hand. Yeah, so

206
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 4: he said that he owned you.

207
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 5: So I just just tell him, tell him whatever you

208
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 5: want to tell him.

209
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: And so that I mean, I'm sure he did. But

210
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: I know for a fact there was a maybe a

211
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 2: two run double in Washington off him, So you know,

212
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: he there might be like ten other strikeouts in there,

213
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 2: but there was a two run double off them.

214
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 4: You got to sit on the slider.

215
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: The problem is I was waiting for the heater to come. No, no,

216
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 2: I never I didn't wait for the heater off you.

217
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: I was trying to get that slider that started at

218
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: my face and try to find a way to stay

219
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: in there on it. No doubt, smart man, he.

220
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 5: Said, he said, you weren't easier out than who is

221
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 5: anybody you?

222
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 4: Oh, I mean, comparing us is like not even fair.

223
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 2: But he told me.

224
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 5: We were playing golf today and he goes, Max Muncey

225
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 5: was a tough route than Corey Seeger.

226
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, which, I think that's a pretty good compliment that man.

227
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: I'll take it. You know. My My whole goal off

228
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: guys like him is hopefully he's gonna throw enough pitches

229
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 2: that I don't swing at that I'm gonna walk and

230
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: then the guy behind me can do the damage. Or

231
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: I might just get that one slider like I said,

232
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: that just starts in the right spot and I can

233
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: do some damage on it. Yeah, no doubt.

234
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 6: I mean, you gotta you gotta pick your spots.

235
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, when you get the tough

236
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: lefties in the pen, you hope you get him to

237
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 2: throw enough pitches that they can't throw it again the

238
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 2: next day. Yeah, for sure.

239
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 6: I mean I thought I faced you a lot more

240
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 6: times than three times being in That was three times,

241
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 6: one for.

242
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 4: Three, two punch he's a double a walk in RBI.

243
00:10:58,280 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 4: So who wins that night?

244
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 5: If you're one for three of the double and two

245
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 5: punches in a walk, who wins?

246
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: Look, you're you're supposed to strake me out, So when

247
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: I get that hit, I win.

248
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 6: I would say you win that. That's a win for you.

249
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: That's one for three, that's over three hundred. I'll take it.

250
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Well thanks, thanks for the stop by Brad.

251
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 2: Good to see you. Thanks. He just pulled me in there. Sorry. Sorry,

252
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: that is what he does. That is what he does.

253
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Exactly love it while AJ gets his ears back.

254
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: Max. Question for you.

255
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the off season is young, but we've seen

256
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: some pitchers sign some big money deals and uh, you know,

257
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: Sorrus Online was talking about how it's funny that so

258
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: many four plus e r RA guys from this past

259
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: season are getting big money. He's saying it sarcastically because

260
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: he's like, teams don't look at ERA the way that

261
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: most people do. And there are other stats like that,

262
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: of course that are easy to use for the casual

263
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: fan or just for our game in general. But what

264
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on what you observe that's most important

265
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: not just to you, but to teams when they're evaluating

266
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: hitters and pitchers these days.

267
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: You know, Uh, ERA is such a tough stat for me. Obviously,

268
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: you want that guy that's got the super lower RA,

269
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 2: especially as like as a starting pitcher. I feel like

270
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: you could look at ERA a little bit, maybe not

271
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: so much as a reliever, because you know, as a

272
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: reliever you just don't get enough innings throughout the course

273
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: of a year. If you have one really bad outing,

274
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: that just sets your RA back for you know, the

275
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: whole season pretty much. You know, I've seen guys who

276
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: have a four r A and then you look at

277
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 2: their numbers and it's like they haven't given up a

278
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: run in the last thirty games. They just had one

279
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: game where they gave up six runs and it just

280
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 2: ruined their RA. And it's so for me, the relievers,

281
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 2: you don't you can't necessarily take into account the RA.

282
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: There's just not enough like bulk innings to where if

283
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: they have one, you know, bad outing, it kind of

284
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: ruins it. But as a starter, you know, you'd obviously

285
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 2: want a guy with a lower RA and then that

286
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: that's also where it's because you have to look at

287
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: the when is that era coming into you know, coming

288
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: into account. Is it is it the fifth inning? On

289
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: is it the first inning? You know, if you if

290
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: you can give me five good innings as a starter,

291
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: that's that's that's really good. Obviously you'd love to have

292
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 2: six or seven. Makes it easier on your bullpen. But

293
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: if you have a guy that can give you five

294
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: clean innings every single time out and then the sixth

295
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: and seven starts getting a little squarely, it's you know,

296
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: that's that's a little different to me.

297
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 4: All right, your option? Your option?

298
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: Good? What do you mean?

299
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 5: I don't know, Scott sat we got picked up?

300
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like that was like that was like a

301
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: month ago.

302
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 4: Well we haven't spoken since, so I spoke.

303
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: Right after the World Series, so we just got to

304
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: officially congratulate and also, yeah, give us the juicy details.

305
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: Is it like a five second phone caller.

306
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 4: Brandon go agent call you?

307
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: You want to know what it actually was? It was

308
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: an email?

309
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 5: Oh no, boy, they emailed you and say congratulations back

310
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 5: you're a Dodger again.

311
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's one of those things where

312
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: like we all knew it was getting picked up, and

313
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 2: so my agent calls me and he's like, hey, they

314
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 2: picked up the option. Here's the email they sent and

315
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: he just forwarded it over and it was you know,

316
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, sweet, I'm back again. That's that's

317
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: what I wanted, you know, and we'll go from there.

318
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's it. Wasn't one of those things where

319
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: it was like a coming down to the wire situation.

320
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: I think they had to make a couple moves, just

321
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: you know, with at the end of the season, everyone

322
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 2: has to come off the sixty day, and so they

323
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: had to figure out, you know, what moves they were

324
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: doing there. I think that was the only reason it

325
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: took to the last day. But yeah, we had felt

326
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: pretty good it was gonna get picked up.

327
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 5: Were you like, there were sixty and forty when I

328
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 5: was in the lineup and without me we were barely

329
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 5: over five hundred? So can I get an extension? Did

330
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 5: you email that back to like was there like? Do

331
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 5: not reply? Because I'd have been like, I'm there were

332
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 5: sixteen forty when I was in the lineup, so let's

333
00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 5: get another year.

334
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 4: Put on that option.

335
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: Well, you know, they they got they got some other

336
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: things that they're working on right now.

337
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: Do tail?

338
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 4: No, No, do tail? What do you mean what are

339
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 4: they working on?

340
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: I have no idea what they're working on. I'm just

341
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: saying they already got me, you know, for next year,

342
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: So I'm not if we wanted to discuss something like that,

343
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: that's that's not at the top of the page at

344
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: the moment.

345
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait, you're but you're the two year man.

346
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: You're you're always getting that two year extension extension. Doesn't

347
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: that normally happen? Like for somebody who never got any extensions?

348
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 3: Doesn't that normally happen when hey, you know what, we're

349
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: going to pick your option up, we'd love to actually

350
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: make it two years kind of like extend it back

351
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 3: out again or does that? Is that not when that

352
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: happens for you?

353
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: You know, I think that I think we've created such

354
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: a good relationship with with you know, Andrew and Brandon

355
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: and and Alex and all those guys over there, that

356
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: you know, there's just not really any rush to get

357
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: to that point, you know. And that's that's really how

358
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 2: it's always been with with me. Is you know, we'll

359
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: well we'll talk to them and say, hey, we'd love

360
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: to discuss something like this, and they'll they'll respond back

361
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: and say, yeah, let's discuss it later on in the year.

362
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: And you know, it's really how it's how it's always gone.

363
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: And so it's just, uh, you know, I don't know

364
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: what they have in the works with with who they're

365
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: looking at, you know, obviously I don't get I don't

366
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: get up. They don't send out like organizational updates on

367
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: what they're doing, you know. So I'm sure they're they're

368
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: looking at pieces that are out there and you know

369
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 2: who they might try to go after and all that stuff.

370
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: And then you know, once that's done, maybe we'll have discussion.

371
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: Maybe we won't, you know, I I honestly don't know.

372
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 2: I would love to clearly, but uh yeah, you know,

373
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: we just have to see see how things unfold.

374
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: Okay, So just to clarify for all the fans who

375
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: keep saying this is what, No, the Dodgers do not

376
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: call Max Munsey to see if he'll change positions for

377
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: Alex Bregman or a Kamoto or all that stuff. Max

378
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: Mounsey is just ready to start playing as a Dodger.

379
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: But you do want another starting pitcher, and Tatsuya Mai

380
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 3: has come out and said he would love to take

381
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 3: the Dodgers down. When you hear that from somebody who

382
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 3: is probably one of the best starting pitchers available, does

383
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 3: that mean does that give you like a little bit

384
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 3: of like a like a peacock strut where you're like, yeah,

385
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 3: I hope, I hope he wants to, but then you

386
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: also hope he signs with the Giants, right.

387
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 2: I mean, to be honest, it's no different than any

388
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: other starting pitcher out there where they all want to

389
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 2: take us down. So it's you know, I haven't looked

390
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 2: into this guy at all. I don't know what his

391
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: stuff is, and I'm sure he's amazing, as we've seen

392
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: a lot of the Japanese pictures that have come over

393
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: have been extremely good. You know, you look at the

394
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 2: guys on our staff, so I'm sure he's very, very

395
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: talented and very good. I haven't looked into him. But again,

396
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: I mean, every picture that's not on our team is

397
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 2: saying the same thing. They want to take us down.

398
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: They want to be the one to beat us, and

399
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: you know, it's just that's what makes it fun to

400
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 2: go out there and play for the Dodgers. You're gonna

401
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: get everyone's best every single night. KP.

432
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,120

433
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 2: it in the language you have.

434

00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: it's the eleven thirty star and he's he's a little grumpy,

00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 5: to you the mike trout about against Shohy or Yamamoto

445
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 5: or Suzaki and you take them deep to win the game,

446
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 5: are you talking trash as you run around the bases,

447
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,479
Speaker 5: or are you like, I am so sorry because we

448
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,960

449
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: In that moment, I'm celebrating with the team. And however

450
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: that celebration comes out, it's gonna come out. I can't

451
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: tell you how that would happen. I will tell you

452
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 2: that if that did happen throughout the course of the

453
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 2: entire season, you know, I would just throw a little

454
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: jabs here and there, you know, just hey, good morning.

455
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: Remember when I took you deep to win? Yeah, I

456
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: do too, and just walk away. You don't got to

457
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 2: make it long. You just throw little jabs here and there.

458
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: You know, That's probably how I would do that one.

459
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: All right. We have producer lady who checks you in

460
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 3: every time you come on the show. She has a

461
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 3: theory which I don't disagree with. Show Hey enjoys a

462
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 3: little bit of trolling, just a little bit. Like when

528
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: That was like Gavin looks his wedding.

529
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 4: Were you at the wedding?

530
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: No? I was not at the wedding. My uh my wife,

531
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 2: one of her best friends was getting married at the

532
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 2: same time, and so we we were always going to

533
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 2: that one. First, you know, we told LuxI, Hey, sorry, Bud,

534
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 2: but uh uh, this is one of my wife's time friends.

535
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 2: So we were we were going to be at that one.

536
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 5: Okay, because I just wanted to know, like, were you

537
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 5: pushing Freddy to do the worm? Because remember the first

538
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 5: time he did it and the second time he's like, oh, no,

539
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 5: I don't really know if you guys must make me.

540
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: Oh, you know, I think I think with that it

541
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 2: depends on how much fun Freddy's been having at the party.

542
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 2: True Okay, it was It was a wedding, so it

543
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 2: was a wedding, so I'm sure he was having a

544
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 2: great time.

545
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 3: Are you a good gift giver? Like, do you have

546
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 3: a certain gift that you give at a wedding? Because

547
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like if you get, if you

548
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 3: know you have this like aura about you as a

549
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 3: big leaguer World Series champion, you got to be a

550
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 3: good gift giver.

551
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 2: You know what's great about weddings is they have this

552
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 2: thing called the wedding registry and you can just find

553
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 2: out what they really want.

554
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 4: Unless you go on Scott's.

555
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 5: Unless you go on Scott's and then it's like super

556
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 5: awkward because his isn't his doesn't make any sense. It's

557
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 5: like cash for a rave, cash for other things at

558
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 5: a rave that's purple sunglasses. Like, that's not a normal

559
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 5: wedding registry.

560
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: That's that's what he wanted. That's probably what he would get.

561
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: Then exactly what because because you don't like collecting random

562
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: dishes that nobody uses in a living room or something

563
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: like that, Sorry about it doesn't make any sense.

564
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what those random business come in handy

565
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 2: for the holidays.

566
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, or if you want to put your world series

567
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: title over him. But also, I mean last thing. I

568
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: always get yelled at for having too much stuff in

569
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: the studio with AJ, and then he wants me to

570
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: put things on a registry. It's like, uh, what do

571
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: you want? You want me to collect stuff or get

572
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: ridden of stuff? I can't do both.

573
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 4: Anyway.

574
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 8: You Yeah, yeah, you can't collect see in your in

575
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 8: your situation, what you do is collect collect the most

576
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 8: stuff that would annoy AJ, and then that's what that's

577
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 8: what you go with.

578
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: Okay, that is my new idea and ft registries.

579
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 5: I have a room full of ship from Scott that

580
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 5: I he will not get rid of. Like he has

581
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 5: like he has like a like a r the most

582
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 5: random two thousands Mets player bibblehead, like name the most

583
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 5: random Mets two thousands.

584
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 3: He's got six.

585
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's got six of them sitting in my room.

586
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 5: And I'm like, Scott, sounds that.

587
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 2: Sounds like you're just mad that none of them are yours.

588
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 4: Then I got plenty of my own.

589
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: I got plenty of Max. You'll see one day, one day.

590
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: Long from now, you'll be in like the digital space

591
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: podcast world doing a show and they send you all

592
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff, and AJ doesn't want to keep half

593
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: of it, so you'll be able to give it out

594
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: to your friends.

595
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 2: But it's it's not perfect. I'm I'm put a block

596
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 2: on AJ's name to not have gifts show up to

597
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 2: my house. Seriously, that's the act. I don't know what

598
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 2: he's going to be sending me.

599
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 4: Trust me, I get random. But okay, I know we

600
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 4: got to go. But have you ever gotten random stuff

601
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 4: sent you in the mail?

602
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 5: Because I get like once a year I'll get something

603
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 5: random and I don't know who it's from. So it's

604
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 5: happened to me the last four years where like somebody

605
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 5: will just send me something and they don't sign it,

606
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 5: and they're not like things you want to display. They're

607
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 5: like the things you would get at Spencer Gifts for

608
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 5: people that remember Spencer Gifts, Like I mean, I remember

609
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 5: the ball the ball thing Scott I had, like someone

610
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 5: sent it to me I didn't know who was from.

611
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 5: One year, I got a chocolate chocolate a chocolate giant

612
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 5: male organ.

613
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: Right when he says ultimately too, he means like Justin Turner.

614
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 5: Yes, the Justin Turner thing that he has that's just

615
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 5: a randomly in the mail, like, yes.

616
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 4: And I don't know who sent it to me. And

617
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 4: then a couple of years ago, I got like a.

618
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 5: Chocolate one of those things I don't know and they

619
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 5: don't sign it, and then I have to play the

620
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 5: guessing game.

621
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 4: Oh who sent this to me? Said, I'm texting people

622
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 4: like did you do this?

623
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: And then when you.

624
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 4: Finally figured it out years later, like you finally figured

625
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 4: it out?

626
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a joke. That's the whole point of it.

627
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 2: You don't need to know who it's from.

628
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: Exactly you're getting. You're getting random magic gifts, all right, Max.

629
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 1: On that note, Good to see you enjoy wedding season,

630
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: the holidays, the whole thing. Congrats on the option being

631
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: picked back up. Great to see you man appreciate it.

632
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks for having me on. Guys.

633
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: As always, Hey, we can get into this a little bit.

634
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: We're supposed to talk to f P Santangele. If we

635
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: don't today, we'll get them on a different day. But

636
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: the giants for the NL pennant right now are plus

637
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: two thousand and twenty to one. It's still crazy when

638
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: you see this, because I'm pretty sure that heading into

639
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: this season or this past season, that Blue Jays were

640
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: I think plus six thousand. Does that sound right, Kratz.

641
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 3: I don't know how. I didn't remember seeing it.

642
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: They were sixty to one. But anyway, for the Giants,

643
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 1: they're twenty to one odds right now to win the

644
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: National League. And yet we're gonna get FP on a

645
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: different day this week. We're going to reschedule with him.

646
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: He's overseas. Yeah, I know you don't like it.

647
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 2: AJ.

648
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this report with FP when we get

649
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: him on at some point this week. But I'm still

650
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: shocked at the story here about the Giants not really

651
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: interested in playing in the big kids pool that much

652
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: this season because they feel like they already did that

653
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: with Adamis and with Devers. I mean, they are not

654
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: a help signing or two away. Don't they need more.

655
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 2: Help than that?

656
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 5: Yes, they needmore. Okay, Bailey had a down year. Some

657
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 5: of the other guys that were counting on a down

658
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 5: yere they're going to need somebody to step up. I

659
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 5: mean Chapman wasn't great for him, A Damas ended up

660
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 5: where he was where he's been about his whole career.

661
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 5: I mean, Logan Webb has been really good for him,

662
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 5: Robbie Rady. They have pitching, they can figure out their bullpen,

663
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 5: but they need people to take the next step. Is

664
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 5: Eldridge the guy? Do they think Bryce Eldridge is the guy?

665
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 2: Maybe?

666
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they hope so, But I mean, I think it's

667
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: a pretty big problem for the Giants that, you know,

668
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: they're not necessarily going to do much in terms of

669
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: spending this offseason. So the article in the Athletics says

670
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: that they could lavish sixty million on the twenty twenty

671
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: six roster and still reside comfortably beneath the initial that

672
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: first tax threshold, that firstle light salary cap marker of

673
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty four million bucks. But their cash

674
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: payroll cash basis payroll commitments include seventeen million in deferred

675
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: signing bonus money owed to Blake Snell in January. I'm like,

676
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: whatever that that to me? I get it, it's on

677
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: your books right now, but like, that's what we're blaming

678
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: for this shit. And then they also said that they're

679
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: spending ten and a half million dollars on the manager

680
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: position next season because you have the Bob Melvin four

681
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: million dollar I guess essentially buy out plus the three

682
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: million buyout they paid for Tony Battello. Crime me a

683
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: fucking river, Like, that's what we're worried about here?

684
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 4: Wait, what did I Tello get? How much did I

685
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 4: Tello get?

686
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: Like three and a half ish? But they had to

687
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: do the buyout for him to get out of Tennessee

688
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: for three I guess Come on, bro, that's what you're

689
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: worried about here.

690
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 2: You're the Giants.

691
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 4: If you ever been to a Giants king, they sell

692
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 4: out every game crowds. Did you play? I played for

693
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 4: the Giants? You played for the Giants?

694
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 5: Like when they're good, they're the greatest, And they have

695
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 5: uh Kype and Kruko as their freaking announcers and everyone

696
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 5: tunes into their games and.

697
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 4: Like don't what, don't tell me? Because the manager got fired,

698
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 4: they can't afford players, like.

699
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: Stop, attendance is up. Posey's done a good job. The

700
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: whole problem with them with the last regime was that

701
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: like nobody even knew who the guys were. Everything was

702
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: so vanilla. There wasn't star power. Posey, what makes two

703
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: moves and attendance skyrockets for them? Now you didn't see

704
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: great results on the field, You see okay results on

705
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: the field. But that's why, to me, the story was

706
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: so shocking, because you had little rumblings that the Giants

707
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: might be interested in a guy like Amai, and then

708
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: this story just absolutely shot it dead, like they are

709
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: not playing in those waters at all. And it also

710
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: went into how the Giants have made attempts to get

711
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: some recent Japanese stars and they've come up empty.

712
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 4: Right, they had Arson Judge. Though they had Arson Judge.

713
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: They did almost have that's true, almost have Arson Judge.

714
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: But they've gone over. These are some of the guys

715
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: that they've gone after in recent years. Not how hard

716
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: and how deep into the process, I don't know. But

717
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: Otani Yamamoto, could I sanga say Suzuki Roki Suzaki. Here's

718
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: the real stinger in the article, it's been over a

719
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: decade since the last born and raised Japanese player they employed,

720
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: left fielder Noriaoki in twenty fifteen, was on the team,

721
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: And embarrassingly, it's been much longer since a Japanese player

722
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: spent multiple seasons in a Giant's uniform. It was left

723
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: hander Montassori Murakami. And you're like, wait, why don't I

724
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: know that name? Because he was the pioneering reliever who

725
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: became the first Japanese Major leaguer when he pitched for

726
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: the team in nineteen sixty four.

727
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 4: Sixty four, Shinjo didn't have Shinjo.

728
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: For one season. Probably they said multiple years, multiple years.

729
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: They haven't had someone since the sixties. It's it's kind

730
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: of surprising, right, Like you talk about how the Japanese

731
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: players want to be on the West coast, low coast,

732
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: or to home whatever. Seattle at one point was a hotbed.

733
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: Now the Dodgers are a hotbed. The fact that the

734
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: Giants haven't been able to create that and this, in

735
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: my mind, AJ is the off season to strike. This

736
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: is the off season to do this.

737
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 4: You've got the Dodgers, go sign him. He just said

738
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 4: he wants to kill the Dodgers.

739
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: That should be your dream player, like they must they

740
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: must be. I mean there's two things scrats. Either they're

741
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: internal metrics don't like him, which I find hard to believe,

742
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: or they're getting orders that they've already done their heavy

743
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: damage and they can't dip in those waters, am I.

744
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna cost a lot of money, There's no doubt

745
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: about that. He's probably gonna be two to two fifty

746
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: something like that.

747
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: I don't know.

748
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 3: Just don't just don't come out and say this if

749
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: you're because the fact that the fans are starting to

750
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: come out like that's a it's kind of a slap

751
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 3: in the face. So to me, if you're not going

752
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 3: to dip into those waters, you're not gonna go and

753
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 3: get that guy. It's tough to get that guy on

754
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 3: the offense in San Francisco that's going to push you

755
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 3: over the line. So you might as well get that

756
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 3: guy on the mound that's gonna push you over the line.

757
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 3: Get you to where your fans are coming out because

758
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 3: they know they're not watching Buster posey on the field.

759
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 3: They're out there. They're out there supporting their team like

760
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 3: they want to be out supporting a team. They don't

761
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 3: want to come out to a five hundred team. Because essentially,

762
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 3: right now, without any upgrades, you're telling your fan base,

763
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 3: we're fine, we just need to see the players that

764
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 3: we have, like, just do better and then we'll make

765
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: the playoffs. No, you push it over the line with

766
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 3: another signing like look like you saved money. You saved money.

767
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 3: The last regime did a good job of just doing

768
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 3: one year deals and trying to piecemeal your platoon group

769
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 3: together like it was boring baseball. So they were saved

770
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 3: money there, don't give me the like like that's not

771
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 3: even part of your that's not even on your payroll.

772
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 3: I get it. You have to pay that money to

773
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 3: Blake Snell, to Bob Melvin, like, but this fans are

774
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 3: coming out because they want to see a winner. You

775
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 3: made the moves last year, you hoped what would happen

776
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 3: this year or this past year didn't now push it

777
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 3: over the line. And I think a signing like am

778
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 3: I would do that based on what I've seen of him.

779
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: And you know can alluded to this too. It's been

780
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: kind of a weird offseason and this story makes a

781
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: lot weirder for the Giants. The one other factor in

782
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: play here there's some speculation that Buster Posey doesn't necessarily

783
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: want to sign Scott Boris' clients. Buster, you're going to

784
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: have to engage with every agent. Now, wait, there's more

785
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: to this. Okay, there's two things in here. One is,

786
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: you know this story talks about how like Buster is

787
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: like pretty adamant that he doesn't like opt outs and

788
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 1: a lot of Boris clients have opt outs. I mean,

789
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: plenty of other players have opt outs too, But okay,

790
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: and then the other part, here is someone who's been

791
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: on our show before and he won't come on anymore

792
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,439
Speaker 1: because now he works for the team again and calling

793
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: him out. But it's true Jeff Barry who used to

794
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: be an agent, and that was whatever a guy who

795
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: was a rival of him. So I'm like, you know,

796
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: the Giants have signed two players that were with Jeff

797
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 1: Barry's old agency. There's always those kind of games going on,

798
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: you know about that stuff, Kratz. Some people love this guy,

799
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: they don't love this guy, and they try and make

800
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: deals to make that happen. Like, you can't just sidestep

801
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: the agent that reps a ton of the big stars

802
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: in the sport. So I'm not necessarily buying that. But

803
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: the story did speculate there and say that Jeff is

804
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: an advisor in the team. So is that holding the

805
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: Giants back from some of the biggest players on the market.

806
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 3: Let's let's speculation. I want I want to hear I

807
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 3: want to hear it out of their their mouth, because are.

808
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:46,919
Speaker 2: Not going to say that.

809
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: You can't say that, oh hey, we're going to skip

810
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 1: a lot of the best players on the market because

811
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 1: the advisor was with a different agency. Bet MGM players

812
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: will receive in any sport parlay boost token and use

813
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,800
Speaker 1: that at a parlay wager made of entirely any sport
