I 269 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 4: mean that six would be pretty good for right, for base. 270 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 5: Sure, that would be very good. Yes, that would be 271 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 5: a playoff team for sure. 272 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't how what's so all right?

We've lost FP. Let's see 390 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 5: what some big news today. I broke a little story. 391 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 5: The Giants are uh expected to d f a Luis 392 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 5: Mantos tomorrow, like I'm talking about Matos already, and yet 393 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 5: I'm catching you up. That's much better. But we we 394 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 5: have our little categories that we're going to do throughout 395 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 5: the season. So I think that he is part of 396 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 5: a category, right, which will. 397 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 2: Be the category? Tell me you came up with. 398 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 5: The category fb is. Each show will have a couple 399 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 5: of regular categories every week once a week. Uh So 400 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 5: I think in the midweek we'll have come on strong 401 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 5: and in a funk. And uh, I guess we could 402 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 5: say is getting d fad or expected I'm a six 403 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 5: effected to be DFAED just to cover my basis, but 404 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 5: I do believe that's what's happening tomorrow. So in a 405 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 5: fun can we say, get in DFAED. Honestly, I've said 406 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 5: this before on this show. If Luis Matos goes to 407 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,880 Speaker 5: a team where he can play every day, I think 408 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 5: that's great for him, and I think he will. He 409 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 5: will not be in a lot of funks. He could 410 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 5: not come off the bench. That was just not his forte. 411 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on First of all, it probably 412 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 5: means that Jared Oliva makes the team, which is an 413 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 5: extraordinary story to me. But you've been talking him up 414 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 5: for a long time. 415 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: Well, I love Oliva, and as a broadcaster for the team, 416 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: I really can't comment on moves before they're like published 417 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 1: and we get it on the broadcasters chat, So I don't. 418 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen with that, But 419 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: your scoop over there, so maybe you can do this. 420 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: I will talk about Jared Oliva at length. 421 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 5: He's coming on strong. 422 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: This guy just did everything he can to make a team. 423 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: I mean, whether it was his great defense in center field, 424 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: left field, right field, his speed on the base pass. 425 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: Just he's a baseball player in every sense of the word. 426 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: Last night against the Sultanis, he laid down a bunch 427 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: with runners on first and third down the first baseline, 428 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: beat it out for a basit And I was watching 429 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: the game with Glenn Kuiper, and I said, he just 430 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: made the team right. 431 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 2: There, because that's what you need. He gives. He's a weapon, 432 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 2: he can steal the base. 433 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: The Giants aren't known for their team speed, and sometimes 434 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: even in age thirty season, I was a twenty eight year. 435 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: Old rookie, so I can relate to this. Sometimes you 436 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 2: just find your home. 437 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: You find a manager that you vibe with, you find 438 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: teammates that you vibe with, You feel comfortable in a 439 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 1: certain organization where all of your tools and abilities can 440 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: just come to fruition because all of a sudden, you're 441 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: not trying too hard, you're not and you know, he 442 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: has the confidence now of having a great spring training. 443 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: So if he does make the team and it is official, 444 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: he deserves it, maybe more than any player in camp. 445 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: He did everything you can possibly do to make a 446 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: big league team, whether he's pinch running late in a game, 447 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: whether he's starting against a lefty. You can put him anywhere, anytime, 448 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: and this guy's a force, He's a weapon. So if 449 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: he doesn't get into that try too hard mode once 450 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: opening day starts and he keeps playing with the relaxed 451 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: enthusiasm and confidence that he's playing, this is exactly what 452 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: the Giants needed. 453 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 2: Man. And I'm so happy for him. 454 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: Because, like I said, as an older rookie myself, sometimes 455 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: it just happens a little bit later in life. So 456 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: hopefully this guy stays all year, hopefully has a great season, 457 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 1: as you can tell. Like I'm a big fan of Jared, 458 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: all about him, and if he has made the team 459 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: or does make the team, it'll be just such a 460 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 1: great story. 461 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, all signs are pointy that way. I mean that 462 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 5: the expectation is, shall we say strong, that Matos will 463 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 5: be dfa great for both of them. Really, honestly, if 464 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 5: Matos winds up in a situation where he's not platooning 465 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 5: or on the bench, he's a great kid. We've talked 466 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 5: about this before. It's not a secret. He probably made 467 00:22:55,359 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 5: too many mistakes with the Giants in the outfield. On bases. 468 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 5: He got a decent run, you know, he played in 469 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 5: one hundred and seventy eight games. That's not nothing. He 470 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 5: hit two thirty one, hit fifteen homers. He hit homers 471 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 5: and budgets, and I think that always got everybody excited. 472 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 5: He'd go on some nice hot streaks, but then he'd 473 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 5: sit for three or four days, come off the bench 474 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 5: and just not look quite the same and all of us. 475 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 5: An exceptional defender that's really I think important for a 476 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 5: fourth outfielder type. And then the running, oh my gosh, 477 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 5: lead the Cactus League in steals. But just also just 478 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 5: such an amazing story. Not starting for a high school team. 479 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 5: I can't get over that hasn't played in the majors 480 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 5: for five years, was playing in Mexico and the Dominican 481 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 5: last year. I mean, he just this is a guy 482 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 5: who's playing for passion. He told me he felt like 483 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,719 Speaker 5: he wasn't quite ready when he got his shot with 484 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 5: the Pirates, and you know, he's regretted it. He's wanted 485 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 5: to make up for that, to show that he does belong. 486 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 5: You know, he just didn't make the most of that opportunity. 487 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 5: I can assure you he is. If he is on 488 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 5: the team, he is absolutely going to make the most 489 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 5: of this opportunity. 490 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: So when you look at the Brewers and how their 491 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: ball club is tailored, it's all guys like Jared oliva 492 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,719 Speaker 1: It's littler guys that can run, they can bunt, they 493 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: can steal a base, they put pressure on a defense. 494 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: And I've been saying for years that that style of 495 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: baseball and eighty one games at Oracle Park plays, and 496 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,959 Speaker 1: I think, don't. I don't know that anybody over there 497 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: would admit that. But when you have a college coach 498 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,959 Speaker 1: like Tony Vaitello, Pat Murphy coached in college before he 499 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: became a big league manager with the Brewers, you know, 500 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: he's a bench coach for a long time, so he's 501 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: been around it. 502 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 2: And you know, I think he was an NL Manager 503 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 2: of the Year last year. But that style of. 504 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,239 Speaker 1: Baseball, when you just do the little things, because you're 505 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: not going to outslug people at Oracle Park for eighty 506 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: one games just not the ball doesn't carry, and it 507 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: does occasionally. 508 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 2: In a warm day game, but so you've got to play. 509 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 2: You got to do all the things little things right. 510 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: Not that you could win with nine Jared oliv Us, 511 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: but he's just such a nice complimentary piece to the 512 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: big boys, whether it's Devers or a Damis or Chapman 513 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: or a Rise or Jung hu Lee or Harrison Vader. 514 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: He's a nice compliment to these guys that when he plays, 515 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: it's going to give the Giants a different dynamic than 516 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: the one we used to see in maybe the last 517 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: three or four years, where it's stationed to station baseball. 518 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: Nobody goes first to third, nobody scores on a double 519 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: in the gap from first base. Just even the safety 520 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: squeezes he's doing, and all those. 521 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 2: Little things or stuff that I love. 522 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: That's how I stay in the big leagues for seven 523 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: years by finding a way to beat you, whether it's 524 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: with your legs, whether it just making a play, whether 525 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 1: it's getting a bunt down, little things like that. We'll 526 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,240 Speaker 1: keep Jared Oliva if he keeps doing what he's doing 527 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: in the big leagues for a good six years till 528 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: he's thirty six years old. If he can just just 529 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: be that role player and then add something to the 530 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 1: lineup when he's in there. 531 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 5: Well, I mean, we all know how big a one 532 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,719 Speaker 5: run late can be, and we saw during the spring 533 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 5: he is a guy who absolutely can provide you that run. 534 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 5: You get a runner on first base in a late 535 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 5: going you pinch run with him, steal second. Steel's third 536 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 5: scores on a sac of fly. We saw that during 537 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 5: the spring and he made it look easy. It was 538 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 5: like consecutive pitches and he was on third. So he's 539 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 5: fun to watch. I will say this, you know, while 540 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 5: we were talking to the mayor, I said, eighty six 541 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 5: wins therea about I think that's probably fair. But they're 542 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 5: going to be whatever their record, They're going to be 543 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 5: so much more watchable this year because there is nothing 544 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 5: that I think fans like less than a team that 545 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 5: just doesn't score runs. And there were so many stretches 546 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 5: last year where this team struggled to score. They failed 547 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 5: to take advantage of so much good pitching in the 548 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 5: first half last year. You had somebody like a Jared 549 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 5: Oliva to that kind of mix when you're struggling and 550 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 5: he can get things going, like he can be a 551 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 5: momentum changer with that kind of speed. And it's not 552 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 5: just the speed. He knows when to go. He's a 553 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 5: smart base dealer. You know, he is going at the 554 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,959 Speaker 5: right times. He understands pitchers moves, he understands you know, 555 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 5: his leads anything anything about base running, I think he's 556 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 5: going to be on it. So that's he just adds 557 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 5: a little bit more dynamism to this lineup that they 558 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 5: were really lacking last year. 559 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: Big word, Stanford, I like it, dynamism whatever you just said. 560 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: That's yeah, absolutely, whatever you just said. 561 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 5: He's dynamic. 562 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: Felipelu used to say, the value of a stolen base 563 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: is when everybody in the ballpark knows you have to steal, 564 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: and you can still steal the base. So tie game, 565 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: bottom of the eighth. Are you that elite of a 566 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: beat base dealer that you can still rip a bag 567 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: when everybody in the ballpark knows you're going And he's 568 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: that guy, and he's not just going to be a 569 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: pinch runner. 570 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 2: There's way more to his game. But yeah, as you 571 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 2: can tell, well, I'm super excited if he indeed makes 572 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 2: the team, and I don't want to I'm knocking on 573 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 2: wood right now. I'm not going to chink. Is there 574 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 2: anything else you want to cover, Susan before we go. 575 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 5: Well, we we mentioned Ramos is going to be in left, 576 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 5: which is great. Breaks that street. We don't have to 577 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 5: talk about it, well right about it anymore. 578 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 2: There's still a game tonight as we're doing this, so 579 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 2: I'm knocking on wood. 580 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 5: Oh my gosh. 581 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 2: Really baseball players are superstitious even at this age. So 582 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 2: he's still got. 583 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: The game tonight in bubble wrap, and then we'll cross 584 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: that bridge tomorrow. 585 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 5: Harrison Baders in the game tonight too, uh, And Vitella 586 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 5: said he expects him to be, and again, I like you, Okay, 587 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 5: I'll knock on the wood for this one. Harrison Vader 588 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 5: is expected to be. So we'll see that. We'll see 589 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 5: what the lineup looks like tomorrow night. You know, I 590 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 5: think you and I've both been kind of kicking around 591 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 5: various different things. But you know, uh, an Arise Chapman, 592 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 5: Adamis Devs Ramos j who that sounds pretty. 593 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: Good to you, Star starting I'm just ready for I'm 594 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: ready for games account. I really don't give a crap 595 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:04,959 Speaker 1: with the lineup. 596 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 5: We do have something else to talk about. The bullpen 597 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 5: oka that also got into came into a little bit 598 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 5: more clear of Yeah. 599 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: There was some surprising moves today by the Giants. Go 600 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: ahead and you can cover that. 601 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I was very surprised that Spencer Bevens got 602 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 5: optioned out A little less surprised about Tristan Beck, although 603 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 5: you and I both love Tristan Beck and he you know, 604 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,719 Speaker 5: he's been such a good soldier for this team, but 605 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 5: Spencer Bivens was a pretty important piece. Now, look, things 606 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 5: change so fast. The rosters often change after the first game. 607 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 5: I mean we saw that a few years ago, remember, 608 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 5: and after the opener at New York, suddenly like there 609 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 5: was it was like completely different the next day. So, uh, 610 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 5: it can change. But right now, I think they're going 611 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 5: to have free lefties in the bullpen against the Yankees, 612 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 5: and I don't honestly, I don't hate that, but I 613 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 5: think that they're probably going to be a little bit 614 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 5: mixed and match with the roster with the bullpen for 615 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 5: reasons like this. 616 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: I saw Baroki through last night ninety five from the 617 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: left side. He's got a little funk to him, and 618 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: lefties were hitting one twenty five off him last year. 619 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: So a good get by the front office. And we'll 620 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 1: see how this whole thing works out. Yeah, I'm repeating 621 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: myself from our last part, but I'm surprisingly optimistic about 622 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: our bullpen and how I think they're going to be 623 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: better than we all think so, which would bode. 624 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:33,719 Speaker 5: Well, swingman type, probably Keaton Win. You know, he's certainly 625 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 5: still in the running for that. But yeah, we've we've 626 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 5: you know, they've got a couple options, but he's the 627 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 5: only one. All spring. We spent so much time writing 628 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 5: about which of the young starters is going to be 629 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 5: in the bullpen. We're down to Keaton Win as possibility, 630 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 5: so it might not even be him, but again, fluid, 631 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 5: so fluid, especially that spot. 632 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: All right, well, good job today, that was cool having 633 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: the mayor on. We can't thank Mayor daniel Lewi enough. 634 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: I've seen him out and about and I call him 635 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: daniel and I forget to call him mister mayor. 636 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I'm so sorry. He's like, who cares. 637 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 2: He's like the most down to earth dude. I've known 638 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 2: him since before he was mayor. So I shot him 639 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 2: a text, asked him if you come on our podcast, 640 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 2: and then his people call my people and we got 641 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 2: him on. So we can't thank him enough. I do. 642 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: I have lots of people, Susan, I have a whole network. 643 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: I don't have anybody else tex and the mayor I'm 644 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: a big deal, a big deal. 645 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 5: I liked him walking around neighborhoods, so I'm gonna look 646 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 5: for him in Bernal Heights.
