1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Charging about.

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: I tell you what Pat Murphy good for him an extension,

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: And it's actually not even an extension.

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 3: Aj.

5
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: It is a brand new contract for Pat Murphy, the

6
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 2: manager of the Milwaukee Brewers. It is said to be

7
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: let's see here, with a club option for twenty twenty nine.

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 2: It adds two years onto his contract, guaranteed eight point

9
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 2: nine to five million in new money, makes him one

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: of the highest paid managers in Major League Baseball.

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 3: So Todd, let's start with you.

12
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 2: Pat Murphy is a guy people seem to love to

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: play for, and it just speaks to what the Brewers

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: and Mark Antanasio think about him going ahead and giving

15
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: him a new deal before the season starts.

16
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 3: What do you make of it?

17
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think this is fantastic.

18
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 5: You know, you hear a lot of players getting big deals,

19
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 5: and now you're seeing managers getting big.

20
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 4: Deals too as well. He's a players coach man. This guy.

21
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 5: He's funny, he's witty, but ultimately he's serious at the

22
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 5: times that need be a lot out of his players.

23
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 5: I never got to play with him or for him.

24
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 5: Excuse me, I would have loved to. I played for

25
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 5: some really good managers, but this guy he's an old soul.

26
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 5: He loves the game and he respects the game. Like

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 5: I said, he wants a lot out of you, and

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 5: deservingly so good for him. Man, there's not many good

29
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 5: managers out there. This guy right now, he deserves it,

30
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 5: and I'm happy for him. And hopefully the Brewers understand,

31
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 5: the players understand that this is a big step for

32
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 5: them to keep stepping up and winning their their divisions,

33
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 5: because guess what, He's not going anywhere anytime soon.

34
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: A Jay under Pat Murphy's tutelage the Brewers one ninety

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 2: and one thirty four. He's a baseball rat, a grinder

36
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: kind of guy. Old school mentality obviously came up of

37
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: course in the college ranks with ASU and Notre Dame.

38
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: I believe, and these guys just like to be around him,

39
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: and the Brewers have rewarded him for it.

40
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, and if had success back to back manager of

41
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 6: the Year, back to back ALE Central titles. They won

42
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 6: the most games baseball last year with a team that

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 6: many people didn't think was going to do a whole

44
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 6: lot except.

45
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: For Eric Kratz.

46
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's great to talk to. He's engaging when you

47
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 6: talk to him. He's intelligent when you talk to him.

48
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 6: He's also funny when you talk to him. He's sarcastic

49
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 6: at times, but he knows how to communicate with people,

50
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 6: and he knows how to connect with people. And I

51
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 6: think that's what being a big league manager is all about.

52
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 6: And he has his thing and he has a way

53
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 6: that he wants this team to play. And the Brewers

54
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 6: give Matt Arnold and the Brewers' front office a huge

55
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 6: pat on the back. Also, they have molded this team

56
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 6: into a team that Pat Murphy wants. It's not just

57
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 6: let's go slug, let's go hit homers. Murphy's about small

58
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 6: ball times and they do hit home runs, but he

59
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 6: wants to take the extra base. Played great defense, pitch

60
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 6: really well. And I said this last year when we

61
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 6: talked about it a lot. The Brewers almost shocked you

62
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 6: the way they played because when he went in there

63
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 6: for a three game series and they swept the Dodgers

64
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 6: for the whole year, right, but the Dodgers got him

65
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 6: the postseason. But they had a way of because it

66
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 6: was so different than what so many other teams did,

67
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 6: where they bunt and they'd hit run and they'd steal bases,

68
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 6: they'd take the extra base. They just put so much

69
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 6: pressure on all the other teams. Teams weren't used to it,

70
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 6: and for those three games, it just whoa. When you're

71
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 6: in the middle middle of a long twenty you say

72
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 6: your twenty games twenty days, and in the middle of

73
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 6: that is three games of the Brewers and you're not

74
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 6: ready for it. It's shock teams, and good for them

75
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 6: for finding a different way to do it with obviously

76
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 6: not the highest payroll. But they always pitch, they always

77
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 6: play defense, they always run the bases, and they put

78
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 6: the ball in play.

79
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: They've been a good team.

80
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: And you never hear the Brewers complain about anything small

81
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: rod team, that type of thing.

82
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't seem like they.

83
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: Do, though.

84
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: They seem to be in the mix, certainly in the

85
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: hunt every single season in the National League Central and

86
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: have made it to the postseason more times than not

87
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: over the course of the last decade. And I tell

88
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: you what, Todd will talk about this in terms of

89
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: managerial salaries, there seems to be a new trend that

90
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: these guys are finally starting to make some actual coin.

91
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: Because of course you had Craig Counsel with then the

92
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: Brewers and obviously now with the Cubs. The Cubs given

93
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: him a five year, forty million dollar deal, so about

94
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: an eight million dollar average value in terms of that salary.

95
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts, of course, recently March of twenty twenty five,

96
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: that new contract was for twenty twenty nine average slightly

97
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: over eight million for Roberts. Of course, the manager of

98
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, and then Alex Cora on a contract are

99
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 2: twenty twenty seven seven point three million, for a total

100
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: of twenty one point seventy five. So it seems like

101
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: the managers, the good ones anyway, are starting to be

102
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: paid as such.

103
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I.

104
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 5: Think you're seeing a trend here a little bit too.

105
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 5: And I'm actually for it.

106
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 4: I don't know.

107
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 5: I would love to hear what AJ thinks, but for me,

108
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 5: they're ex players. These guys played the game, they understand

109
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 5: the game. They're going to know how to control the

110
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 5: game too as well. I had a guy in Dusty

111
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 5: Baker who absolute gem of a guy, absolute gem of

112
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 5: a coach.

113
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 4: He understood, Hey, you know, Frise, we're gonna give you

114
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 4: a day off here, Mike, all right?

115
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: Cool?

116
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 4: Well, he knew it.

117
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 5: In my mind, it's like I want to play every game,

118
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 5: but he understands the grind and he understand And I

119
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 5: think these ex players, and you know now, managers coming

120
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 5: into the league here have a name for themselves not

121
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 5: only from playing, but now from managing. And I think

122
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 5: the more ex players we can get to manage it

123
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 5: better in my opinion.

124
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 6: Agreed, But Pat Murphy didn't play. Pat Murphy was a

125
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 6: football player. Does you know Pat Murphy played football.

126
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 4: Player?

127
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 1: I agree, man, I think players.

128
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 6: I think players give the best insight to the game

129
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 6: and understand the game better. And they got away from

130
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 6: that for a little while, and some organizations are still

131
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 6: away from that. And I have no problem if you

132
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 6: didn't play in the major leagues or have a nice

133
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 6: career that you can be a good manager.

134
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: I think you can.

135
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 6: It just gives you a little one extra notch of

136
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 6: credibility to players when you've done it, you did it

137
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 6: for a long time and you were a successful player.

138
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: It helps.

139
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 6: It just gives you a little bit more respect, a

140
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 6: little more cachet with the players. But I'm happy managers

141
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 6: who get getting paid more. Now they need to figure

142
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 6: out a way to pay coaches more, not only just

143
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 6: the managers, but all the coaches down because for people

144
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 6: inside the industry, they know that coaches don't get paid nothing.

145
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: They get paid they have the worst schedule, They have

146
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: the worst schedules. They have to be here, you know,

147
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: for seven o'clock game. They get here like some guys

148
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: get there like ten in the morning.

149
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 2: Are there talking to Chris Woodward yesterday, who obviously is

150
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: a base coach here for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and

151
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: we were talking about the fact he lives in Santa Monica.

152
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, my god, that's so hard to get to

153
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium. He's like, I leave my house at ten am.

154
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: You know, they get their schedules are crazy, Their pay

155
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: is not good, and I would love to see them

156
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: get paid more as well. But you were talking, you

157
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 2: and Todd were talking about, you know, the fact that

158
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: major league coaches, major league managers the experience factor and

159
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: the respect factor. So does that mean in your opinion,

160
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 2: guys in Asia, I'll tee you up first on this.

161
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: Do you think Tony Vittello with the Giants will have

162
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: a tougher hill to climb because he wasn't a major

163
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: league player and he's coming from the college level.

164
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: No, no, no, again.

165
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 6: I don't think that you have to be a major

166
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 6: league player to be a good major league manager. There's

167
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 6: been people that have proven that. But I feel like

168
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 6: you just have a better understanding from day one of

169
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 6: what it takes. Now, Tony Vaitel is going to have

170
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 6: to be a quick learner about how the major leagues

171
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 6: work because he's never had to do one hundred and

172
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 6: sixty two games in one hundred and eighty days or

173
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,239
Speaker 6: whatever it is, plus run a spring training, plus handle

174
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 6: guys going up and down, plus handle the front office,

175
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 6: plus handle a bullpen for that long, plus handle personalities

176
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 6: that long.

177
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: He's done it.

178
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 6: He's done it for fifty to sixty games, which is,

179
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 6: you know, a nice run. But Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday off, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,

180
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 6: use the same pitchers on Friday, Saturday Sunday, use your

181
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 6: different guys in the midweek games. Whereas this is twenty

182
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 6: games of twenty days. How do I make sure the

183
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 6: bullpen's good? Now? He made some good hires in people,

184
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 6: But you can't. It doesn't mean you just can't be

185
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 6: a good manager. It just means again, there's just a

186
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 6: little extra respect from players when you talk to other players.

187
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 6: It's like, you know, reporters when they talk to other

188
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 6: reporters that are on the grind every day, Hey, I

189
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 6: know what you're going through well as a player, when

190
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 6: you look at guys and you say hey, I as

191
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 6: people you say hey, I know what you're going through

192
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 6: and you've been through it, so it just gives you

193
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 6: that it's not a big deal. It is now we're

194
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 6: making it into I should say.

195
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 5: And I think the biggest thing that probably in his

196
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 5: mind is expectations, so he's probably thinking of his mind,

197
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 5: I gotta do this, I got to make sure here,

198
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 5: I gotta do that, And hopefully that's not the only

199
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 5: thing he's thinking about. I would like for him to

200
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 5: come in be his own man, and come in and

201
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 5: be a manager and do what he does best. I

202
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 5: know a lot of things he did at Tennessee were awesome.

203
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 5: It's going to be a different type of atmosphere now,

204
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 5: you know, not the raw rack kind of stuff, which

205
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 5: I don't I don't mind it all. College baseball is

206
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 5: great with all that stuff, but he's got to understand

207
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 5: he's going to be with professionals and I think the

208
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 5: biggest thing in.

209
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: His mind maybe or our minds, is expectations.

210
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 5: So understand, you're gonna have to take the good with

211
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 5: the bed as a manager and ride that wave until

212
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 5: you know, you find they find a way to lose

213
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 5: a ballgame.

214
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 2: Todd, what's going to be the biggest thing for him

215
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: to realize quickly? Do you think might be one of

216
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: the bigger hurdles that he's going to have to transition from.

217
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 3: The baseball level. Obviously at a high level.

218
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: They won the National Championship, but to the big league

219
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: level of things are very different between these whitelines.

220
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's managing different ballplayers. You know, it's

221
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 5: gonna be hard to mold every single guy to what

222
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 5: you expect. And that's the part of those expectations I'm

223
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 5: talking about. You know, you got your big names, Let

224
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 5: those guys be Let them, you know, be the leaders

225
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 5: of the team, and just understand there's going to be

226
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 5: a lot of different things you can't control going out there,

227
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 5: but you can control, you know how what you want

228
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 5: out of your players. You know, you can control making

229
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 5: sure everybody's on time, doing their due diligence.

230
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 4: But at the same time, you're gonna have.

231
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 5: To take the good with the bad because it's going

232
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 5: to be a different type of managing. And you got

233
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 5: to understand not everybody is the same in the major leagues.

234
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: I also tell you he doesn't get to pick his

235
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: players here. He doesn't get to He.

236
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 6: Went out and recruited, right, He recruited thirty five guys

237
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 6: right nowadays, But Posey gets to pick them and they

238
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 6: who they draft. And there's players that were already there,

239
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 6: so you don't get to pick your players in there.

240
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 6: They can be there for Raffie Devers as a long

241
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 6: term contract, right, So he can't just say, oh, you

242
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 6: got to transfer. I don't like you, We'll go find

243
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 6: someone else. Doesn't work like that in the big leagues.

244
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 6: You can't just have always a new shuffle coming in.

245
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 6: So that's going to be fascinating. Plus the other thing

246
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 6: the other day, remember this, the where he corrected all

247
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 6: the media people after that.

248
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: You got it.

249
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 6: You need those guys on your side, right, And he

250
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 6: didn't really get on them, but he was just like hey,

251
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 6: first press conference, he's like, hey, I want to sit

252
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 6: down and explain, guys, you got this wrong, Tony.

253
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: Nobody's really nobody really cared that much.

254
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: He's certainly not used to having to address the media

255
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: twice a day. I mean, that's something that's very different.

256
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: No other sport does that, except for baseball, where the

257
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: manager has to address the team twice a day. Oftentimes

258
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: it is said that they will have to rip the

259
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: jersey off of your back before you, guys are ready

260
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: to give it up. Freddy Freeman kind of has a

261
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: timeline Fobby and Ardaia, who writes for the Athletic Covers

262
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. Freeman again today floated the idea of playing

263
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: four more years, which would lead him to retired at

264
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: age forty after twenty big league seasons. He said this

265
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 2: yesterday during his press conference. Didn't want to open a

266
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 2: campaign for another contract. He's signed through twenty twenty seven,

267
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 2: but added he would like for it to come in

268
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, so aj he has a two more years

269
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 2: left on his deal here and then, of course he

270
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: did that say that yesterday. He was not going to

271
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: talk about a new contract and want to talk about

272
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: an extension as of yet, but he would like to

273
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: finish his career guys, as a Los Angeles Dodger.

274
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 3: Do you think that happens.

275
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: I hope it does.

276
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 6: But then Alana comes to the real question Hall of Famers,

277
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 6: does a Dodge, Dodger or Brave.

278
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 3: He goes in as a Dodger.

279
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: He won a World Series in Atlanta, has.

280
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 3: Two with La, and he's going to have.

281
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: Such hard he's gonna have two more before he so

282
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: in the next two years, he's gonna win two more.

283
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: He's gonna be here for another four. I do believe

284
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: they will sign him to another contract to finish his

285
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: career here.

286
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: If he gets four, then yes, he definitely goes in.

287
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: He's going in as I don't think he goes in

288
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: as a Brave because the Braves didn't bring him back.

289
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: Okay.

290
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 6: I also remember playing with him with the Braves, and

291
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 6: all he wanted and all he ever said was I

292
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 6: just want to win a World Series like you've done.

293
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: And now he's got three.

294
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 6: So Freddie, I don't feel sorry for you at all,

295
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 6: So don't give you that anymore.

296
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 3: I really believe he goes in as a door.

297
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair.

298
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 6: I mean, if you know, he's got a chance to

299
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 6: get to three thousand hits and he's gonna play until

300
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 6: he's forty one. Minute ttil I was. I mean I

301
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 6: was turning forty in the offseason that year. So good

302
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 6: for Freddy Man. If he can do this and keep

303
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 6: playing at the level he's done as long as he

304
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 6: stays healthy. His family wants him to do it. He

305
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 6: lives right there in California. He's he's from right there

306
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 6: in California. He loves it in California. So good for you, Freddy.

307
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 6: If you can do this, go get him.

308
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: Buddy and Todd.

309
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: He said yesterday during the press conference that he was

310
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: very irked that his batting average last season did not

311
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: start with a three. And he said, and I asked him,

312
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: how irked were you? And he said that it really

313
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 2: bothered him because if he's hitting three hundred, it means

314
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: he's getting on base, it means he's driving his teammates in.

315
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: And while we may not pay a lot of attention

316
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: or put a lot of value in batting average anymore,

317
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 2: it matters to him. So an opportunity for him to

318
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 2: have a kind of a comeback year. Obviously he was

319
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 2: very banged up last year, so comeback season offensively for him.

320
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 3: And he's still chasing three thousand hits.

321
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, and now before I go on, I want to

322
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 4: go back to that forty comment.

323
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 5: I just turned forty. I can't see myself playing more

324
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 5: than a week and any I don't know how these

325
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 5: guys do it. I mean a week might be pushing

326
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 5: it because I know the next day I'm going to

327
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 5: be in trouble.

328
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean I love that about him. It

329
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 4: did irk him.

330
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 5: I think anybody would take what he has done, even

331
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 5: when he's injured. I never batted over three hundred. I

332
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 5: think two seventy three was the highest I ever did.

333
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 5: Guys don't understand average with guys that are older, are big,

334
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 5: are key. I still think it's something that needs to

335
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 5: be blown up a little bit more. I believe if

336
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 5: you have a good batting average, what does that mean.

337
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 5: For one, you're getting on base, for do you're helping

338
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 5: your team out? And for three, power numbers are probably

339
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 5: in there too, so for most people. So for that

340
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 5: love that about him. I hope he gets over three

341
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 5: hundred next year. I hope he stays healthy. He's great

342
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 5: for the game. I would love to see him play

343
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 5: until he's forty. I think that would be fantastic, And

344
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 5: I don't think he's gonna slow down man. He's big

345
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 5: in stature, he works hard, his swing is beautiful. Everything

346
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 5: about him, you know, maybe the defense a little bit,

347
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 5: But I just think the way he goes and if

348
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 5: he stays healthy, he's going to be pretty good for

349
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 5: a couple more years.

350
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 2: Todd, do you think he finishes his career as a Dodger?

351
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: Do you think the Dodgers, you know, find a way

352
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: to give him those extra two years so he can

353
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: finish his career here.

354
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 5: I do, just on the fact they brought Clayton Kershaw back.

355
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 5: I think it's one of those things where they if

356
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 5: you produce and you have fun, and fans love you

357
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 5: and the brass likes you, which we've seen, I think ultimately,

358
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 5: why wouldn't you bring him out. He's a team guy,

359
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 5: he's a leader, and you don't see that aj. You

360
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 5: don't see that too often anymore either. Clubs don't like

361
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 5: the older guys around. They want this young crop coming

362
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 5: up and age and Freddie will teach these young kids

363
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 5: the rights and wrongs and everything else that goes unseen

364
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 5: during baseball season.

365
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what he said.

366
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 3: That's what he said.

367
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: That's what he said.

368
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: That's what he said.

369
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: We will start the segment with a comment Todd, and

370
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: I will defer to you since you are a Yankee lover.

371
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: Jazz Chisholm says that he is going to be the

372
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: next member of the fifty to fifty club. And for

373
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 2: those that don't know what that is, that's fifty stolen

374
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 2: bases as well as fifty home runs, a club that

375
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: Shoheo Tani invented. Okay, I love the confidence. I love that,

376
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: But Todd, he weighs about fourteen pounds. I'm not certain

377
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: that Jazz is going to be the guy to get

378
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty.

379
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: What say you?

380
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 5: I can't believe you said that. That's incredible. Yeah, you're

381
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 5: you're a woman of your word. Listen, he HiT's fifty

382
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 5: to fifty. That'd be awesome.

383
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 4: Man. I I love jazz Chishlm. I do love jazz Chishlm.

384
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 5: This is so hard to do, though, Jazz getting thirty

385
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 5: thirty would be absolutely incredible.

386
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 4: Sky's the limit for the guy, but it is.

387
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 5: Listen, it's gonna be very hard to reach for anybody,

388
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 5: So not just Jazz, but for anybody in baseball right now,

389
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 5: it's gonna be very hard to do. I always like

390
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 5: to set my goals high, but that is really really

391
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 5: high set right there for the big dog and I

392
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 5: we'll see.

393
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: Make thirty thirty last year. He did make thirty thirty.

394
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: He didn go thirty thirty last year, thirty one. That

395
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: was his career high.

396
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 6: That was his career high in Homer's and he did

397
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 6: have forty stolen bases one year. So he's gonna have

398
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 6: to make a huge jump from thirty.

399
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 3: Nineteen ninety homers.

400
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 6: I mean, he's got a career, He's got a one

401
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 6: hundred and eight career homers. So for him to hit fifty,

402
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 6: he almost I mean he's half of almost half of

403
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 6: his whole career total.

404
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: So that's a huge jump. And the fifty careers sould

405
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: I hope he does.

406
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 4: I hope he does.

407
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: I mean I hope he does too.

408
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 6: That would be that would be incredible. I just don't

409
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 6: know that it's gonna happen.

410
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 3: I just I mean, that's a lot of goal. I

411
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: love the confidence, though.

412
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: I mean you want.

413
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 6: I also thought I was going to hit sixty and

414
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 6: steal sixty bases one year, but it didn't happen, Todd,

415
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 6: I don't know.

416
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: Maybe it was because they wouldn't give me the green

417
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: light to steal the bases, so I lost my confidence

418
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: for the sixty homers.

419
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 3: You really think you're gonna steal sixty back?

420
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: No, no, a lot. That's kind of my point. But

421
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: like Todd said, I like to set my goals high.

422
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 6: Just because they don't come true doesn't mean I can't

423
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 6: make him come up, make him high.

424
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 4: Jazz is one for one today in the spring.

425
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 3: So was it a homer?

426
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 4: No?

427
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 5: No, it's zero zero in the sixth inning, so we

428
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 5: had to get some runs on the board there. But

429
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 5: listen to button this up. I love its confidence. I

430
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 5: love where he's at. This is only a good sign

431
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 5: for the Yankees. Be confident, be under control with what

432
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 5: you say. Jazz, take off, big dog. That would be

433
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 5: awesome for Yankee baseball, all right.

434
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 2: He also said that if Robot umpires were behind the

435
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 2: plate and all calls were correct, he probably.

436
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 3: Have ninety to one hundred walks this season.

437
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 6: So but that's less times you swing, so therefore that's

438
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 6: less homers that you can hit. So there goes the

439
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 6: fifty homers. Yeah, you're walking. That's Barry Buns. When they

440
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 6: started walking him two hundred and fifty times as homers went.

441
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's saying he has a good knack for his

442
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 5: own The best knack for his own person I've ever

443
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 5: seen was Joeyvado playing. Just from playing with him, ball

444
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 5: would be like that far off and all of a

445
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 5: sudden like boom ball and he would get the call.

446
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 5: I wouldn't get those calls. So yeah, good dude. Listen,

447
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 5: this dude breeds confidence. And if you're a Yankee fan,

448
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 5: you love every second of this. You hope he does this.

449
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 5: He stays healthy and he goes out there and dominates.

450
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 5: I'm not saying he can't hit ten homers in a

451
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 5: you never know what can happen. But again, thirty thirty,

452
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 5: what he did last year is incredible. Let's get to

453
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 5: thirty five thirty five and then keep mentioning our way up.

454
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 2: You want the confidence and you can get away with

455
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: that type of confidence if you produce though, Right.

456
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 6: He's just gonna jump from thirty thirty to fifty to

457
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 6: fifty skip forty forty.

458
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: He's just gonna jump. He's just not good for him, man,

459
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: I hope he does it.

460
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 2: Do you know what asually, skip, here's what the you

461
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: have to hit forty before you get.

462
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 6: But what if he hits fifty homers, it's going to

463
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,360
Speaker 6: be fifty forty. See, so you never do forty four, Clona,

464
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 6: you're ruining the story. But I hope he does it

465
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 6: because if he does it, guess what he could give

466
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 6: his own teammate, Aaron Judge a run for his money

467
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 6: for MVP.

468
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: Then what would we do.

469
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 3: It's gonna go to Judge. Probably, Okay, I'm gonna Judge, probably.

470
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: All right.

471
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 2: Brutal injury update for the guys with the Baltimore Orioles guys,

472
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 2: assuming he responds to treatment. We're talking about Westburg, it'll

473
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: be interesting to see where he plays second or third.

474
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: Given the nature of his injury.

475
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: It looks like he has a part Marsehall tear of

476
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: the UCL in the right elbow. Buster only tweeting this

477
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 2: out and Jake Real as well. He's gonna be getting

478
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: a PRP injection today per Orioles player but President of

479
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: Baseball Operations that's the POBO GM, Michael Lias. Westburg will

480
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 2: be out for all of April. Timeline is TBD after that,

481
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 2: So let's first of all discuss what a PRP is, Todd.

482
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: This is something have you had it in your career

483
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 2: and explain to folks at home what a PRP is

484
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: that injection.

485
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 5: And let me explain. I'm not a doctor, for one,

486
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 5: but for two. When I had it, I had a

487
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 5: PRP injection. So they took blood out of my hip.

488
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 5: So when I was in Cincinnati or I forget where

489
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 5: I was, I forget what t was on, they took

490
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 5: blood out of my hip and put it actually into

491
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 5: my hand. I had a hand problem at the time.

492
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 5: Really good doctors over there, my man, Luigi, I appreciate you.

493
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 4: And they mix it.

494
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 5: They take the blood, they put it in this little

495
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 5: cylinder thing, mix it around for a long time. They

496
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 5: want to get all that blood moved around. I don't

497
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 5: know what the specifics of it were, but it's new

498
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 5: blood that forms that they put into the spot that's hurt,

499
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 5: and that's supposed to help, you know, calm down and

500
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 5: make it better and make it stronger, faster, and very painful,

501
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 5: very painful for.

502
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 4: About you know, five to seven days.

503
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 5: I could put my hand in any position you want

504
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 5: while I was sleeping, and it was pain everywhere.

505
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 4: And that was it.

506
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 5: You know, you can use PRP in any parts of

507
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 5: your body wherever it's hurting. But again it's the procedure

508
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 5: wasn't painful, but afterwards it took a little while for

509
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 5: that to subside.

510
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 4: And it's just your own blood.

511
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 5: They say, your own blood is better than anything in

512
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 5: the world that can help you out with ailments for sure.

513
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: Apparently it's concentrated to contain a high number of platelets,

514
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 2: growth factors, and proteins.

515
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 6: So most guys, especially elbow. The only one I've ever

516
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 6: heard that's ever done this was Yama Mo or not

517
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 6: Tanaka with the Yankees, right that needed Tommy John towards

518
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 6: UCL and did the PRP and came back And probably yeah, right,

519
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 6: that I know about, because those guys, even in the UCL,

520
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 6: when they have the p r P, they still eventually

521
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 6: have to get the surgery done the surgery done, so

522
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 6: maybe this might be a short term fix.

523
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: I don't know.

524
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 2: That's the thing though, I mean, why why rip the

525
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: b why just have it as a band aid?

526
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 6: I mean, well, because they figure if they can do

527
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 6: pr PRP and get him back in a month or

528
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 6: two months, it's better than HI because if he has

529
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 6: Tommy John's gonna miss the whole season.

530
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: I guess Bryce did it? Didn't Bryce do it? Not

531
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: have the he got through the season surgery? He never

532
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: had the surgery.

533
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. Fact check us on that. I don't.

534
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,719
Speaker 3: I don't think Bryce he did PRP.

535
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 6: He missed one week DH the rest of the season,

536
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 6: and then he got Tommy John in the off season.

537
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 3: What does this mean?

538
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 6: But Bryce also moved to first base and played DH.

539
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 6: Jordan Westburg is a third baseman, second baseman, shortsw what

540
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 6: utility guy? Right, So and there he had to throw,

541
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 6: He's gonna have to throw. And their DH is Mount

542
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 6: Castle or a lot And they now.

543
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 2: Don't have Jackson Holiday to start the season. And now

544
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 2: they don't have Jordan Westburg to start the season. So

545
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: what does this mean short term?

546
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: I guess for the O's they.

547
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: Need a third base. I don't know. I don't know.

548
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 5: Somebody need to step up. They had all those prospects,

549
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. I was I was two

550
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 5: years ago. I was the guy that was bashing them.

551
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 5: Trade these guys away. Trade these guys away.

552
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 4: You're gonna get a lot of a lot of good.

553
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 5: Players in return. And they have a couple guys that

554
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 5: are producing, but a lot of them. You know, you

555
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 5: don't really hear about too much. And Mayo needs to

556
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 5: step up. Man, he has to step up this year.

557
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 5: But when you hear partial tear, it always worries me.

558
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 5: I don't care if it's partial, if it's zero point

559
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 5: one percent. Yeah, that's I've always believed in that. And again,

560
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 5: I hate to say that, but I'm not a doctor.

561
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 5: It would if somebody said, oh, you have a partial

562
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 5: ligament spasm or whatever you want it partial, you know,

563
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 5: knee separation, it's still a separation, and I don't know, man,

564
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 5: and this stuff might linger, it might linger, and it

565
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 5: could get you know, maybe they tell him, oh, it

566
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 5: can't get any worse.

567
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 4: Hopefully that that's the case, but I don't know.

568
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: See, that's my concern is, like, if they do it

569
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 2: as a band aid now just to get him back

570
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: in a month, what if it, you know, continues to

571
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 2: happen and then he still has to get the surgery,

572
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 2: let's say mid season, and then he's out additionally for

573
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: the year even further.

574
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agreed. I don't know. We'll see, we'll see

575
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: if he can do it.

576
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 6: But I mean, you know, Bryce Harper's the own who

577
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 6: did it, but he dh Westbrook's not going to be

578
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 6: their dh oh year.

579
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: So he's gonna have to throw. No, it's not that's

580
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: that's a major difference.

581
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 6: You have to he's gonna play third base probably, and

582
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 6: he's gonna have to throw across the diamond multiple times

583
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 6: a game.

584
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: You can't hide a third baseman.

585
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I know it's it's a bummer.

586
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: But Todd, think about it.

587
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 6: If you played third and you had an army you

588
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 6: couldn't throw with how many times every team would bunt?

589
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 6: Every team would bunt. I mean, guys can well, but

590
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 6: he'd just be like, just bunt it to him. He's

591
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 6: gonna throw a couple of them away and not feel it,

592
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 6: you know, I don't know.

593
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 4: I don't know.

594
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: Some other news for the Oakland Athletics.

595
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 3: Timer.

596
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: When I think of Bob Melvin, guys, I think of

597
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 2: the Athletics, and he is going back to the club

598
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 2: as a as a special assistant, if you will. Obviously

599
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: he was the Giants manager for a time that didn't

600
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 2: work out very well. So Melvin back with the a's

601
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: right place.

602
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a Bay Area guy. He vanaged the Giants

603
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: for a while.

604
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 6: Like you said, I remember him being with the Oakland

605
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 6: now Sacramento as and he's going to come back, and
