1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: Charge about. 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 2: Hey, Max Schurzer's back, Kip. 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 3: So here's a guy that you faced probably pretty frequently 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 3: in your career, and he's still trying to get the 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 3: job done in the big leagues. I mean, he had 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 3: a really up and down season last year. He's been 7 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 3: going through it, but then he pops up and pitches 8 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,959 Speaker 3: valuable innings in the playoffs for the Blue Jays. 9 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 2: So it's a unique contract. 10 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 3: One year, three million dollars, ten million dollars in incentives. 11 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 3: What happens is he gets a million bucks if he 12 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 3: hits the sixty five innings pitched threshold. 13 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: Also has no trade production. 14 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 3: By the way, every ten innings after that he gets 15 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 3: a million bucks, So it's incentivized for him to pitch. 16 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 3: At the same time, Max is rich, Kip, and I 17 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 3: don't think he's worried about that. He just wants to 18 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 3: go out there on the team side to just get 19 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 3: some protection because he has been through quite a bit 20 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 3: injury wise, thumb issues that have plagued him for the 21 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 3: previous three seasons, and I guess that is also spilled 22 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 3: into causing soreness in his arm and his shoulder. He 23 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 3: said that the shots in his injured thumb were making 24 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 3: it difficult for him to pitch even the games and 25 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 3: causing him to miss time. But then of course he 26 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,479 Speaker 3: pops up in the postseason three, seven, seven, and three 27 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 3: October outings started Game seven, held the Dodgers to one 28 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 3: run in four and third kept them in the game. 29 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 3: I mean, gave him their money's worth, just in a 30 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 3: unique way. So what do you think about Max joining 31 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 3: the Blue Jays again and giving them depth whenever he 32 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 3: is able to pitch. They are in good shape right now. 33 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 3: They have like six or seven starters as it is. 34 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 4: I like it a lot. 35 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 5: I think, like you just hinted on, I don't think 36 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 5: it's for the money. Max doesn't need the money. He's 37 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 5: certainly made more than enough in his career. This is 38 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 5: a guy who just can tell. I think he knows 39 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 5: he has at least one more year left in his 40 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 5: body and love for the game and wants to go 41 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 5: out there and play. I think he from the sounds 42 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 5: all things in considering Toronto and the group that they 43 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 5: have there is a very fun place to play. 44 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 4: I think he really liked the guys. 45 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 5: And the team and it gives him with the depth 46 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 5: of the starting rotation, it gives him a little bit 47 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 5: time to build back into it. He doesn't have to 48 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 5: be an every fit day guy and going to the 49 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 5: World Series. He likes where he's at and wants to 50 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 5: run it back with him. And I think your body 51 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 5: can can break down, and certainly does the older you get, 52 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 5: But I think the playoffs and a guy a competitor 53 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 5: of the level that Max is that adrenaline. So I'm 54 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 5: not surprised at all that his success comes back to 55 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 5: him in the playoffs again. And I think that's what 56 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,119 Speaker 5: they're counting on one more time, is when that adrenaline hits, 57 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 5: that playoff baseball hits. Here's not too many guys he'd 58 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 5: like handing the ball off or you feel good about 59 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 5: handing the ball off more than Max Scherzer in his career. 60 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: He was great in the postseason last year. I mean 61 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: everyone's like, why is he starting? And then boom, he 62 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: goes out and delivers some great games for him and 63 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: almost got him another World Ses. People forget who was 64 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: on Texas in twenty three when they won. Right, he's 65 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: got so he's got two rings, right because nineteen with 66 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,679 Speaker 1: Washington and twenty three with the Rangers. So why is 67 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: he doing this this look. I know Max very well. 68 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: I saw him. 69 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 4: He was he Nationals with Strasburg. 70 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was him, and it was Strasburg and Corbyn 71 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: where the three that led that staff to that World 72 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: Series in nineteen. So but I played golf with Max 73 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: this offseason and he was like, I want to go 74 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: back to the Blue Jays. I mean, he pretty much 75 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: said it. He said, I want to go back to 76 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. And why why do you want to 77 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: go back to the Blue Jays? Just the atmosphere, the 78 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: way they treated him and his family, everything about the 79 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: Blue Jays was where he wanted to be. And he said, 80 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: if this is my last year, I want to go 81 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: out on a team that I like, the players I 82 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 1: respect and all the things. You know, in a winning team, 83 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: the team has a chance to win. Well, he got 84 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: his wish. Was it the money he wanted? I don't 85 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: think he needs the money he's got. He's got like 86 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: three hundred million in the bank with about two hundred 87 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: to million of it deferred, right Scott, So I think 88 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: that this is a great place for him and if 89 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: this is his last year, Max, I tipped my cap team, man, 90 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: you're one of my favorite dudes of all time. You're 91 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: one of my favorite people to interview, and you were 92 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: one of my favorite people to play again because of 93 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: the intensity showed. You got me out. It was respectful. 94 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: I got to hit off you, it was respectful. It 95 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: was always just a fun battle. So if this is 96 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: it and this is where the way he goes out, 97 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: good for you, Max. I hope you're healthy and give 98 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: him a full year. And if a full year, if 99 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: he only means twenty starts and four of those come 100 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: in the postseason, again, let's go. 101 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 2: Postseason wins are worth a lot of money. 102 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 3: If Max is going to give you some innings in 103 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: the postseason and their effective innings like last year, it's 104 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 3: worth something. The intensity, too, is really fun to watch 105 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 3: as a fan, appreciate this. It could be the last 106 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 3: year of Max. So as a fan, check out starts 107 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 3: or just games sometimes where Max is in the dugout 108 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 3: and he looks lit and he's running around and he's 109 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 3: fired up. And then yeah, if he gets you know what, 110 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 3: if he tries to get taken out of a start 111 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 3: where he's feeling it, you might have to you know, 112 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 3: duck or wear a helmet. Be careful, right, it takes. 113 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 5: It takes you a little bit to get used to 114 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 5: it as a competitor is going going against him. It's 115 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 5: like you think, first you he's screaming at you on 116 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 5: the mound, which there probably are times where he is, 117 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 5: but like he's kind of just talking to himself. You 118 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,119 Speaker 5: see this guy that is just circling the mound, talking loud, 119 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 5: coming with it, and he's just all intense, and you're like, 120 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 5: you have to kind of choose which way you want 121 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 5: to react to it. Where it's like you're like, buddy, 122 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 5: what are you doing to call him down? But you 123 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 5: can't because if you take that route, he's already got 124 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 5: you where he wants you. So you kind of have 125 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 5: to meet him head on with the intensity and you 126 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 5: be like, all right, let's do this then. So he 127 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 5: makes a game of baseball better just the way he 128 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 5: approaches it himself. 129 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 4: But he is a competitor through and. 130 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 5: Through and has been a bulldog on that mound for 131 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 5: years and he has been a pleasure to watch. 132 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 3: He's got a bunch of kids, So one of them, 133 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 3: I know, is a competitor and was trying to line 134 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 3: all of this up and she got her wish this 135 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 3: was cute. We're gonna throw this out there. So this 136 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: post by m A sway back in December, is that 137 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 3: maybe that is that Max's wife maybe posting on there. 138 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 3: Back in December, Brooke wrote this letter. This is his 139 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 3: eight year old daughter put it in an envelope and asked, yeah, 140 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 3: the shurs are fam to mail it to the Blue Jays, 141 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 3: and now she gets her wish. Last season had an 142 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 3: amazing impact on the surs Er family and they're very 143 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 3: excited to be back. So she wrote, dear Blue Jays, 144 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 3: I am so sorry that you didn't win the World Series. 145 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 3: I hope that you win next time. I hope my 146 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 3: dad is back on the team. My whole family loves 147 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 3: spending time in Toronto with our dad. We loved the aquarium, 148 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 3: sand Tower, and of course the stadium. I'm looking forward 149 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 3: to coming back next season. Love, Max Suzer's daughter. 150 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 2: That's good, that's awesome. 151 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: You got a wish, she got it. It's always went out. 152 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 3: That's a really nicely put together note too, Like appropriately, 153 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 3: I apologize. 154 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: I feel bad that you guys didn't win. 155 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 3: So I'm thinking about you and I look forward to 156 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 3: hopefully seeing you again. 157 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 2: And there it is. 158 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we said that's probably why he signed 159 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 5: back there. I think you hear stories how well they're 160 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 5: treated and how well the group gets along with each other, 161 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 5: the wives get along with each other. You hear stories 162 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 5: maybe about other organizations where they just don't treat the 163 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 5: families as well or something like that. So that's not nothing. 164 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 5: When you start to find out some organization really takes 165 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 5: care of its own and really does things the right way, 166 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 5: that's definitely not nothing. When people are looking at where 167 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 5: to sign. 168 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: Now, let me ask you this, will Max pitch in April? 169 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: I would say no. 170 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: Okay. 171 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 4: I would say no as well. 172 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 2: Okay. 173 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: I ask because it sounds like he could be eased 174 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: into the season and you're careful with innings and workload 175 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 3: and trying to make sure that you get him to 176 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 3: his best place by October. Of course, the Blue Jays 177 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 3: need to make the playoffs. I mean, they were a 178 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 3: very good team last year. It's a very competitive division. 179 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 3: The reason I bring it up is Gosswan's in the rotation. 180 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 3: Dylan Ceese was signed, Trey esavaged the rookie in there, 181 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 3: Jose Burrios coming back, Cody Ponce was signed, Shane Bieber 182 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 3: is eventually going to come back. They have options here, 183 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 3: and if they don't suffer significant injuries over the next 184 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 3: few weeks, they technically don't have a spot for Max, 185 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 3: or you have I guess a six man and you 186 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 3: got to get crafty. 187 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: I think they'll figure out a way to get Max 188 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: in there. I don't know that at the beginning of 189 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: the year because he's already late to camp. I know 190 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: it's not that late to camp, but he's already a 191 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: couple weeks behind. So I think they're gonna take it 192 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: slow with Max and make sure he's ready. And then 193 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: do you know what's funny is these things always play out. 194 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: Remember last year we said, oh, the Dodgers have twelve 195 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: starting pitchers and they barely scrape through at the end, 196 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: right every year? And then the Blue Jays had a 197 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: bunch of starters and they throw guys in the bullpen 198 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: and they use guys. And then Barrios was heard and 199 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: he didn't show up to the World Series, and there's 200 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: all these things, and these things all work themselves out 201 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: one way or another. It's crazy, Kip. It's always like 202 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: we have too many outfielders. And then the first week 203 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: in spring training something happens where an outfitlder goes down 204 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: or gets traded or something. It always seemed to work 205 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: its way out. 206 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 4: It works its way out. 207 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 5: And I'll say, if Toronto doesn't make the playoffs, it 208 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 5: will not be cut be because Max Shuars are going 209 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 5: to throw in April. 210 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: For no doubt. 211 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 3: And the smart teams know that you need to load up. 212 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: And it's not easy to do a j If you 213 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 3: have say seven or eight big league starters, you still 214 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 3: have to figure out what you're doing with them at 215 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: the start of the year, right, I mean, if you're 216 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 3: a good team, you need at least that in terms 217 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 3: of guys that you feel really good about. I'm not 218 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,479 Speaker 3: talking about other guys that could emerged throughout. 219 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 2: The season from the minor leagues. 220 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 3: But if you do have eight starters, some of them 221 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 3: might not feel comfortable going to the bullpen. Max Shurtz 222 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 3: is not pitching out of the bullpen for the Blue 223 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 3: Jays during the regular season. 224 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: No, he might know, he might think, so, he might listen. 225 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: He might well, you just don't know. I mean, they 226 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: can't hold him down forever. They can't just say, you know, 227 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: he's in rookie ball or whatever. And stay in duneeding forever. 228 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: He's gonna have to pitch and if if there's not 229 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: a spot available, then maybe he's the long guy. I 230 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 1: don't know, they'll figure it out. That's almost they didn't 231 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: sign him put him on. I mean it's a big 232 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: league heal he signed. He didn't sign a minor league deal. 233 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: Oh no, So I mean he's gonna be on the team. 234 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: They got to have to use him at some point. 235 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 2: They're just prett yeah things. 236 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: Trust me. One thing we know about Max from having 237 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: him on the show multiple times. Max's didn't go into 238 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: those blindfolded. It's like he went into this. This was like, yeah, 239 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: I just want to sign no matter what, I guarantee you. 240 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: He said. Talks with the Blue Jays and they said, Max, 241 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: here's your role, here's how many starts you're gonna get. 242 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: We'll go from there. 243 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 3: Let's do a little look at Sea geeks upcoming matchups. 244 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 3: First of all, I just want to shout this out 245 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 3: and we're going to talk a lot more about the 246 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 3: World Baseball Classic coming up.

So he's got the Baltimore Orioles 285 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 3: at ten. I do want to make an important note 286 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 3: right off the jump here. This list came out a 287 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 3: little over a week ago. It was before the Jordan 288 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 3: Westburg elbow injury, So take that with however you want. 289 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 3: He did already put this out when we learned about 290 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 3: the Jackson Holiday Hammett injury. He'll be back hopefully a 291 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 3: few weeks into the season. Nine Phillies eight, Cubs, Blue 292 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 3: Jays at seven. He puts the Mariners at six, the 293 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 3: A's at five, the Mets at four, Braves offense at three, 294 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 3: Yankees at to, Dodgers ed one. Same thing like we 295 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 3: said yesterday with the rotations. He's looking for star power, 296 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 3: he's looking for depth. He said, he's only one person. 297 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 3: Last year he put the Braves at two. They ended 298 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 3: up more middle of the pack. Also didn't have a 299 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 3: Kunya for the beginning of the year. Riley took a 300 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 3: step back anyway, Slice and dice. I actually had a 301 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 3: lot of opinions here, not as much of who should 302 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 3: be in and who should be out, but I didn't 303 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 3: love the way everything was ranked. 304 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna start with the mirrors. Don't we always 305 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: say the mirrors can't When did they do this offseason? 306 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 2: They picked up Brendan Donovan, and. 307 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: They traded Suarez for Donovan at the end of the year, right, 308 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: and they brought back Naylor and they lost Polanco, they 309 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: lost Polonko. 310 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 2: I think the offense for I. 311 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: Mean Adams, I mean I think they should be closer 312 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 1: to eight or nine. I think six is a little 313 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: bit high for me. I think there's a little bit 314 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: of not saying that the Mirrors don't have a good lineup, 315 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: but I think Julio have a better year start to finish. Possibly. 316 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if Cal is going to hit sixty again, 317 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: but I mean I like this lineup. I mean, I 318 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: just look at the ops. Plus, I mean, Victor Roblaze 319 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,599 Speaker 1: has had had that great month and a half. He 320 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: got him a nice contract, and he was kind of 321 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: Cole Young. We don't know what we're going to get 322 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: out of JP. Crawford is a nice player. I don't know. 323 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: To me, that's that's kind of a little bit high. 324 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: At six, I. 325 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 3: Think last the Mariners offense in the regular season. Of course, yeah, 326 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 3: Cal had a ridiculous year, But I'm with you, maybe 327 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: lower towards the you know, seven to ten range. 328 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I think six is a little bit high. 329 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: Okay. 330 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: Uh the Orioles to me at ten is high too. 331 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: I think really just because Okay, look at their offense 332 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: last year. I mean, I know they added Pete Adley 333 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: down Yere, Gunner down Yere, Jackson Holliday hasn't proven himself yet. 334 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 2: Westburg's hurt Westburg's always hurt. 335 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: They did Calser didn't do much last year, right, I mean, Okay, 336 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: Taylor Ward great, but Pete great. But Gunner needs to 337 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: have a good year. Adley needs to figure it out. 338 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: Dylan Beaver's proved nothing, Blaze Alexander Kobe Mayo hasn't done anything. 339 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 5: Desios a lot of potential for their I think if 340 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 5: they reach more potentials. I think Orioles do belong in 341 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 5: the top ten. But you can definitely make a case, 342 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 5: like you are right now that they might not be 343 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 5: there yet. 344 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: I mean, kif how many teams did you play on that? 345 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: Like if man, if everything goes right, we're gonna win 346 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: the World Series. I mean it's like there's always there's 347 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: so many ifs. I don't know. 348 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I think they are. I think they could, yeah, 349 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 3: go back a drop. I think, let me give you 350 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 3: a few because we're pushing teams back. Let me give 351 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 3: you a few that I think should go up. 352 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: Okay, give me some up. 353 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 3: The Blue Jays are at seven. I think they should 354 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 3: be at two. Okay, l a one cool, get it, 355 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 3: Roger's fine, Yeah, two Blue Jays, Blattie Prime. The big 356 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 3: thing is yes, they lost bo. I'm very high on Okamodo, 357 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 3: and I think Ernie Clement has found something and is 358 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 3: going to go from more of like a slightly above 359 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 3: average bat to as someone who could be all star status. 360 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 3: I think what we saw in the postseason, it's not 361 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 3: going to be that all year. He's not gonna hit 362 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 3: four hundred, but I think he's going to be special. 363 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 3: That lineup has the right mix of slug and contact. 364 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 3: I think it's a really good lineup. Also, are we 365 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 3: talking about these power rankings for regular season or overall 366 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 3: for the year. For me, I'm factoring in how I 367 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 3: think these teams and these offenses are going to do, 368 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 3: not just in the regular season, Kip, but in the playoffs. 369 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 3: And for me, the Yankees are going to score more 370 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 3: runs most likely than the Blue Jays. They're a home 371 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 3: run machine right they were last year. But which lineup 372 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 3: do you like better in the playoffs? Toronto's lineup for 373 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 3: the Yankees lineup? 374 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 4: Toronto's I think, yeah, I have the Yankees. 375 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 3: So for me, when I was trying to rewrite this 376 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 3: up for my top three, I kept the Dodgers at one, 377 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 3: I put the Blue Jays at two, and the Yankees 378 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 3: at three. 379 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 4: I think the Cubs should be a little bit higher too. 380 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 5: I like the way they they had a really good 381 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 5: balance of they beat a lot of people in a 382 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 5: lot of different ways. I thought that they extend they go, 383 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 5: they go for the extra bases, they run the base 384 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 5: as well, and they steal a lot of bases, so 385 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 5: I think they create a lot of runs too. Adding Bragman, 386 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 5: then adding a year of experience for PCA and some 387 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 5: of these other guys, I think they should maybe move 388 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 5: up there will be up there by. 389 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 4: The end of the year as well. 390 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 2: I agree. That was my other team that I think 391 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 2: should jump up. 392 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 5: Trying to think of some other teams that aren't on 393 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 5: this list or aren't that aren't should. 394 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: Go down for me a little bit too, Yeah, Braves 395 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: should go down just because last year they just weren't 396 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: there a lot. It's been two years now since they've 397 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,959 Speaker 1: been a great offense. I think everyone's still looking at 398 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: from the year they said all those records that was 399 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: a long time ago. 400 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 5: Now, is there any team that's not on the list 401 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 5: that either of you two would have? 402 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 3: So I started going through this, I actually think the 403 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 3: ten on here is pretty solid. 404 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: Diamond we're at Diamondbacks camp today, Kip. They've scored a 405 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: lot of runs the last few years. 406 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 2: They lost Naylor and Gino something. 407 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: But they brought Arnauto in and they and they. 408 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 5: First place Santana and some others. But I think they 409 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,120 Speaker 5: were their problem last year was they were very top heavy. 410 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 5: They're they're the top through top four hitters in their 411 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 5: lineup were kind of. 412 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 4: Carrying most of the bulk of that run scoring. 413 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 5: I think as if you got to the bottom of 414 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 5: that order, they weren't turning over the lineup to be 415 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 5: I guess in this top ten they weren't turning it 416 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 5: over enough. 417 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: You can look at every team when you had Juri 418 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: Gurriel over that, how long. 419 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 2: Is he o? For a while? 420 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: Okay, but at some point he's coming back. I mean, 421 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: we just showed the Maricers. The bottom two were very 422 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: similar to these two. 423 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: These bottom Oh, I think this team can definitely make 424 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 2: a case. 425 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: I mean, if Corman, Carroll, Cote, Marte, Perdomo, Gaby Marino, 426 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: Peven Smith, can Rake, Arnatto we talk to he's gonna 427 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: have a bounce back here. I think, I mean, you 428 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: throw Gurriel in there, that's a pretty damn good lineup. 429 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Guriel might not be until late in 430 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 3: the season. They could looks pretty bad. But I'm with you. 431 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 3: I think they could sneak in. So what would you do? 432 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 3: Maybe put them in and take Baltimore out. No, yeah, 433 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 3: I think the Oils offense is gonna be good, though. 434 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 3: I do think some guys are gonna bounce back here, 435 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 3: so hey, we're gonna get. 436 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: What about the White Sox. The White Sox had the 437 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: best offense in the American League the second half last year. 438 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 4: That can't be true. Is that true? 439 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: They look at the number, it was one of the best. 440 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was the best, but it 441 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: was one of the best. Wow, the numbers were crazy. 442 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 2: I do like kIPS call out for the Cubs Mets. 443 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 2: For me, four is too high. 444 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 3: I think putting them, you know, more in the again, 445 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 3: maybe six to eight, six to nine range. They did 446 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 3: lose Pete Nimo's pretty consistent in there. There's some question, right, 447 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 3: I know they added some offense. Luise Robert, what does 448 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 3: he look like? How much does it wanlay Beau Blanco bo. 449 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 2: So it's good. I just I don't know is it 450 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 2: top five good? I don't know. 451 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,479 Speaker 3: So all right, that was fun, a little mixing and matching. 452 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 3: Do we have time to do a quick read or 453 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 3: we're going right to the conversation here? 454 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: Hold on before we go. So the Yankees game is 455 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: on on TV right here. Yes, they're showing a hotel 456 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: that is not in Tampa. Aren't they based in Tampa? 457 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: That's the dances are that is not in Tampa. It's 458 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay, but it's in Saint Pete. 459 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 2: So you're saying they messed up there. 460 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: Well, I'm just asking is that strange because they're based 461 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: in Tampa Tampa like Tampa proper. I think it is 462 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: where the Rays play and that's like kind of close 463 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: to the race stadium. I don't know. 464 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 2: I think they're just showing scenes from the area. 465 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, and who knows, maybe they were talking 466 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 3: about something specifically out there, like hey, I went to 467 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 3: this great spot in Saint Pete. 468 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: An hour away. Yeah no, I don't think Michael k 469 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: is driving there, just. 470 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 2: I like Saint Pete. Yeah. 471 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm told we have seconds to go and then 472 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 3: we're going to bring in our guest joining us. 473 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 4: Flat. 474 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: Is he good? 475 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 2: We're adjusting the mic? Hold on? Hold on, all right? 476 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 2: Come back to us. Thank you. 477 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: So do you see what I'm saying? Though? I think 478 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: I get it. Like if you say Tampa Rays, they're like, 479 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: it's Tampa Bay Rays. Like the Pampa fans get really 480 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: mad about that thing. So then when they it's the 481 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: Tampa Tarpans or the Yankees team. So there's no Tarpans 482 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: in Tampa. 483 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 2: But Tampa Bay includes Saint Pete and Tampa. 484 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: I know it also includes like Sarasota. Like that's all 485 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: considered the Tampa Bay area, right, I don't know, That's 486 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: what I'm just I don't know. It's just a conversation question. 487 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 2: We can text one of the Yankee people and ask 488 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: them what's going on there. 489 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: It's not cheap to stay there. I know that. 490 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 2: Oh. Frankie made a good point here. 491 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 3: He said, it's like when there's a Jets or a 492 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 3: Giants game and the TV networks will show the Empire 493 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 3: State Building. Are you okay with that because that's not 494 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 3: even in the same state. 495 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: Well, why aren't they the New Jersey Jets? And then 496 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: it's like the Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles, of Orange County, 497 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 1: of Newport Coast. 498 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,160 Speaker 2: They just won't give us the credit. In Jersey. 499 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: I mean, nobody wants to claim New Jersey. 500 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 2: I'm claiming Zach Allin. 501 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: Zach Allen's the only person I've ever met that claims 502 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: New Jersey. 503 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 2: We covered chures earlier. 504 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 3: That's a major league contract for him with the Blue Jays, 505 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 3: minor league signing for the Yankees. Also around that same 506 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 3: time period that it was reported one year, two and 507 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 3: a half million bucks if he makes the major league team. 508 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 3: Talking about Randall, Gritchik and the Yankees were looking for 509 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 3: a right handed, power bat outfielder supposedly to play a 510 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 3: little left field against lefties. Instead of Grisham, they'd sit 511 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 3: him and move Bellinger over to center field. So this 512 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 3: one has a pretty legit chance to stick. I think 513 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 3: the minor league deal gives the Yankees the flexibility aj 514 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 3: to just make sure that he looks like himself. I mean, 515 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 3: from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty four, is ops 516 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 3: against left handed pitching nine to one. That was ninth 517 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 3: best in baseball. Last year that number plunged to seven 518 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 3: oh three. So you see him maybe for a few 519 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 3: weeks in camp. Yankees are analytic nerds. They go, okay, 520 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 3: the bat speed. 521 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 2: And this and that is looking like it did, and 522 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 2: then if that's good, he makes the team. 523 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: Who plays center field for the Yankees. Grisham left handed, 524 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: who plays left field for the Aches. Belly Belly left handed, Domingus. 525 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: Where's he played probably Triple A now well, but he 526 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: could he was a better Which side of the plate 527 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: was he better on? 528 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 2: He was better left handed handed right? 529 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: So this gives them protection for when they face those 530 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: lefties he faced. Someone needs a day off, or they 531 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: want to give someone a break, and he can play 532 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: center field and he can play left field. So this 533 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: is a perfect signing for a team to come in 534 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: and help build their roster to be not only great 535 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: against right handed pitching, but also great against left handed 536 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: pitch well. 537 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 3: And they I mean Belly and Grisham can play center, 538 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 3: so you figure Grisham, Yes. 539 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: But if you need to give someone a day off, Belly, 540 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: maybe maybe Belly's banged up and you need to give 541 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: him a d H day. 542 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 2: Or if a first baseman gets hurt and then he 543 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 2: needs to play first. 544 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a million different options. Yes, and maybe lefties 545 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: you don't want to you don't want to use somebody. 546 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: Let's say Stanton can't play and you don't want to 547 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: use Ben Rice, you know you you can put him 548 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: at the This is a depth signing. That's a nice signing. 549 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 2: Agreed. 550 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, And this is a guy who many thought was 551 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 3: going to get a major league contract, ends up having 552 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 3: to wait a while and still will make himself close 553 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,719 Speaker 3: to three million bucks if he makes the team. So 554 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 3: it's just a little bit of a proved situation for 555 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 3: a few weeks during spring training to see if he 556 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 3: breaks camp.

We're 578 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 3: looking at trends for the World Baseball Classic, which technically 579 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 3: starts middle of next week and then the first games 580 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 3: in the United States or next week on Friday. USA 581 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 3: is getting thirty five point five percent of the ticket, 582 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,719 Speaker 3: Japan thirty point three percent, and the Dominican Republic fifteen 583 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 3: point three percent. 584 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 2: It was cute. 585 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 3: I heard you guys the other day trying to learn 586 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 3: the difference between ticket and handle when I wasn't on. 587 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: That we needed to do that day. 588 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 2: Was that Trisha Aorlana? I think it was Trician. 589 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: I think it was I still don't know the difference. 590 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 3: You guys were like, ticket handle it okay, it's simple. Here, 591 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 3: ticket bets, right, so I can place Let's say ten 592 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 3: bets were placed on the WBC winner and eight of 593 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 3: them were placed on the USA. That means eighty percent 594 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 3: of tickets were placed on USA. To me, ticket is 595 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 3: cool to just show the quantity and how many different 596 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 3: people are placing. But obviously handle is where the heavy 597 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 3: money goes. I like looking at both because handle also 598 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 3: is going to the heavy hitters and what they're doing, right, 599 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 3: Like there are guys that are slowing down. 600 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I like to see both. Does that make sense? 601 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: So now on the handle is the money spent the 602 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 1: tickets or people? Now like, there could be a million 603 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: people that buy a five dollars ticket, correct for five million, 604 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: but there could be ten people that could see spend 605 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: ten million. That's a higher handle. Yeah. 606 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 3: So if it's ten million bucks that was thrown on 607 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 3: WBC winners and let's say eight million of that was 608 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 3: thrown on USA, then we're at the eighty percent. Again, 609 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 3: the one's looking at money ones looking at ticket quantity. 610 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 2: Okay, so this is ticket quantity. 611 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 1: And it's mostly the USA. Yeah I know that again. 612 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 3: But actually the thing to point out here is Japan 613 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 3: is getting a lot of love as well. And I 614 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 3: pointed because they want three of these things and there's 615 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 3: good value there, so if you're placing the twenty dollars ticket, 616 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 3: it doesn't get you a long way on Team USA. 617 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 3: When they're minus, they've been hanging around, you know, minus 618 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 3: won ten. 619 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: Actually liked the Dominicans chances. I do too, just because 620 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: because there's one thing that they have. I don't know 621 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 1: how the brackets match up, but I like the way 622 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: that they're like they wouldn't. I don't think they'd have 623 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: to see USA maybe till semifinals, or Japan maybe to 624 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: the semi finals. So I think they can go a 625 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: long way until they I don't know exactly how I 626 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,240 Speaker 1: got to look. I'll dig in next week when I 627 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: start preparing for them. Yeah, but I think Dominican because 628 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: they play where they play, and then they play they 629 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: and then when they play in Miami while the US 630 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: is still in Houston for the quarterfinals, am I right? 631 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: And then they then they come together in Miami for 632 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: the Semis. 633 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 3: I don't remember who faces who in the Semis if 634 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 3: we get to that point. I got to do my 635 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 3: homework on the bracket side too, but I did do 636 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 3: this last night. 637 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 2: I was looking at what. 638 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 3: The rotation will be for the pool stage for them 639 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 3: their first four games. Here's their rotation for the Dominican 640 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 3: Christopher Sanchez, Louis Severino, Brian BeO, Sandy al Contra. 641 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 2: It's a good four. 642 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: Say that again. 643 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 3: Christopher Sanchez, Louis Severino, Brian BeO, Sandy al Contra. 644 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. 645 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 2: It's really good four. 646 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not skiing school, but it's pretty darn good. 647 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 3: But I think that four might just go in rotation 648 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 3: for the most part. Pitch, you know, they might give 649 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 3: them what three the three starts. I think you can 650 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 3: kind of pull off in this tournament. 651 00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: Too. 652 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 3: You can get too maybe two starts three because oh 653 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 3: you're right, it's over eleven ish days because they start 654 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 3: on Friday. 655 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, so so two starts from them. 656 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 3: But you you wrap that back or you plan that, 657 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 3: I mean, make sure you The tricky thing is it's 658 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 3: like quarterfinals. Do you throw your best starter out there? 659 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 3: Do you save them for semis or for finals. Some 660 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 3: of it has to do, of course, with the rest 661 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 3: of recovery days. But that's a good four. I mean, 662 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 3: those guys can pitch and do or die games and 663 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 3: shut you down. 664 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 5: Did Japan or Dominican get hit at all with that 665 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 5: with guys not being able to play. From insurance standpoints. 666 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 3: I think every team got hit a little, but every 667 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 3: team technically got hit a little, and we don't know 668 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 3: all of the players, but they didn't get hit like 669 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 3: Puerto Rico or or even Mexico as far as I know. 670 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 3: So the Dominican team is sacked. Like those are four 671 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 3: good starters. Their lineup is sick. Their lineup can keep up. 672 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 2: I mean, their lineup is as good as they. 673 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 4: They'll always have a nasty lineup. 674 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,440 Speaker 1: By the way. Yeah interesting. I know people are gonna 675 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: say whatever they want to say on this, but if 676 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: you look at the two the four pool, Yeah right, 677 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 1: so US has Mexico, Italy, great brand in Brazil, they 678 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: should win that pool, I mean obviously barring major upset. 679 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: But then if you go to Pool A, it's Puerto Rico, Cuba, Canada, Panama, Columbia. 680 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,479 Speaker 1: They've kind of set it up for a little bit 681 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: of an easier path for them because they wouldn't play 682 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 1: the other side of the bracket to the finals. Okay, 683 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: the other side of the bracket pool see is Japan, Austaria, Korea, 684 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 1: check and type A. Okay, Japan Korea probably okay, but 685 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: then you go Venezuelan and Dominican, Israel Nicaragua like, okay, 686 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: Venezuelan and Dominican, fine. 687 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 2: Those are two of the top four teams. 688 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: But then those two teams have to play each other. 689 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: So Japan, Korea, Venezuela and Dominican have to play each 690 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: other in the quarterfinals. The winners and losers they play 691 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: each other, right, and then you get to the semifinals 692 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: where Dominican, Venezuela and Korea Japan have to two of 693 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: those will have to play to get to the finals, 694 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: whereas USA could be like playing like Puerto Rico with 695 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: Outland door Corea and all those guys Canada without Freddy 696 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: Freeman and all those guys Cuba with Alexi Rmier who's 697 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: seventy two years old playing shortstoff for him. I mean, 698 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: it's just interesting when you look at now that I've 699 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: looked at it, it's like, whoa, Okay. 700 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 2: We're gonna spend a lot of time on this. 701 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 3: It's interesting the way the tournaments set up, and then 702 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 3: you get to do or die of course after pool play, 703 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 3: so hey, we also of course have march right around 704 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 3: the corner, so if you're a better and you're on 705 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 3: the bedmgm app, you can potentially win a chance to 706 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 3: go to Vegas for a VIP trip to the Court 707 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 3: of Legend event featuring those two on the screen.

Gambling 716 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 3: problem more concern called Wyne Andred Gambler. Two things to 717 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 3: do here. In slap number one, there was this article 718 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 3: put out by Randy Miller with some quotes from Carlo 719 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 3: to stand that he's gonna try and play, obviously as 720 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 3: much as he can this year. But he can't open 721 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 3: a bag of chips, he can't open a bottle like 722 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 3: a bottle cap. He's that much pain from his elbows 723 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 3: what would they call tennis elbow or whatever. So I'm like, 724 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 3: how it's hard for Okay, take me right, no hitting skills. 725 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 3: It's hard to hear from one of the strongest dudes 726 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 3: that he can't open sewda bottle or a bag of chips, 727 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 3: and he can hit rockets. 728 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 4: What's not ideal. 729 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 5: It's not what you want to hear going into the seasons. 730 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 5: As players, you you literally design and shape your body 731 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 5: for the motions of the game. So I think the 732 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 5: rest of his body is built to do the swinging motion. 733 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 5: I think that's all the Yankees really need out of 734 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 5: him is to be able to swing. But don't love 735 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 5: hearing that quote going into a season where you're counting 736 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 5: on this guy or to give you maybe four hundred, 737 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 5: five hundred, four hundred bats at least. But it's just 738 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 5: that can't be a good sign AJ going into the season. 739 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: Kip. But I never heard of such a thing. I'm sorry, 740 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: I just never heard. I never heard of such a thing. 741 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: He can't open. 742 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 4: I'd be like, yeah, I know, I don't, I don't. 743 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 1: You can't do this, or you can't open a bag 744 00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: of chip. 745 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 2: But then you can go which you can. 746 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: Go home, because then how do you get your like extension, 747 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: Like your elbows are moving when you swing. It's like 748 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: it's not like you just stand there and go and 749 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: they never move like you got to get extension. I 750 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: don't know. Listen, if you can do it, good for him. 751 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: But the only thing I can say is adrenaline. Adrenaline 752 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: kicks in and he's got those five at bats a 753 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,520 Speaker 1: game where he gets maybe five to ten swings a game, 754 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,760 Speaker 1: and for those five to ten swings, he just guts 755 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: it out court zone. I don't know if I'm not. 756 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,719 Speaker 5: If I'm on the il too, I'm opening a lot 757 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 5: of bad chips and there's a bottles, So it's it's 758 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:04,239 Speaker 5: gonna be a rough go for him. 759 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 3: Then you might be able to do it differently too, 760 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 3: like with your swing where it's like to open the 761 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 3: bag of chips. 762 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 4: I don't if his teeth, I don't like that. I'm 763 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 4: not one of those guys. 764 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: Tools teeth or tools kipped. 765 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 4: They are tools. I'm just saying I'm not one of 766 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:20,280 Speaker 4: those guys. 767 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, he's got the pearly whites. He's good. 768 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 3: He's probably got the nice years in there too. Yeah, 769 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 3: no knowing big g. He takes care of the smile. 770 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 3: But hope he feels better. Legitimately, we're fabing ale fun 771 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 3: with it, but I mean for Yankee fans, that definitely 772 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 3: doesn't sound great. You'd rather have a guy that's not 773 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 3: in that kind of pain. So we'll keep an eye 774 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 3: on it. 775 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 4: Uh. 776 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 3: Fasten All engineering the spring training tour.
