1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Hey, busy, busy news weekend, and I do want to

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: hear about Baltimore too. Hey, jay Mine, just give me

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: a clip notes. We're going to get into the team.

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: Uh we got a rain delay and we still only

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: had a two hour and twenty minute game, which was awesome. Uh,

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 2: Baltimore is not hitting the ball very well right now.

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: I know they scored some runs, but they do not

8
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: hit lefties or the worst team against lefties in baseball.

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: My flight got diverted my way up there. That was amazing.

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: I had some hotel issues. We're not going to get

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: into that because we're not allowed to. And uh, yeah,

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: that was it. It was a hell of a weekend.

13
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: Hell of a weekend. Wow, Not if you're traveling, though,

14
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: it wasn't a hell of a weekend. Not if you're

15
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 2: on the plane and you know, walk to a hotel

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 2: one in the morning they tell you, oh, just kidding,

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: we had a reservation for you, but it doesn't really

18
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: count because we're just kidding.

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,959
Speaker 1: Kratz has nothing for you. Anyway, Let's go over real

20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: quick before we charge. Attendance number that have come out.

21
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: They look really good. This could be the first time

22
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: period since two thousand and five through two thousand and seven,

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: that we have attendance going up in three consecutive years, krats,

24
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: and the numbers might look even more favorable due to

25
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: the fact that obviously weather was not great as it

26
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: mostly isn't these days the first couple weeks of the

27
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: season in the Northeast and the Midwest. So numbers look

28
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: really stromp in attendance in Major League Baseball. And do

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: you know who has by far the biggest spike in baseball?

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: It is not even close by percentage.

31
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: In those three years, the Padres. I don't know.

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 1: Right now this year, first month and change of the season,

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: the Mets correct, I should agree the numbers just as

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: they stood out that much so the Dodgers always leading

35
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: this category the biggest ballpark and fifty one thousand and

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: three sixty four Right now for home the Mets are

37
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: at thirty six thousand, one ninety eight per game. I

38
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: know that's a lot less than LA, but it's still

39
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: a very healthy number for baseball. They're up by more

40
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: than fifty six percent per game. What aj I think

41
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: Juan Soto sells tickets?

42
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you think good players sell tickets. Good players sell tickets.

43
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: Weird how that works. The more good players you have,

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: the more excited to fan base kits, and the more

45
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: tickets they want to go buy, and the more people

46
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: they want to see and all that stuff. It's weird.

47
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: That's crazy that if you actually spend money on your

48
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: product you can get money back. I never would have

49
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 2: thought of that. Warren Buffett recently anounced he's retiring. I

50
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: wonder if he's thought of that.

51
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 3: No, there's no way.

52
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: There's no way if you put money into your team

53
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 4: that people will want to come see them, because if

54
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: you get free agents, then ticket prices might go up,

55
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: and that's when that's when fans don't come out.

56
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 3: Right.

57
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 4: Oh wait, there's no correlation to that. It's a winning,

58
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 4: exciting team that they've built. They added to it with

59
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: the best player available in the free agent market, and

60
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 4: oh yeah, and they're winning at home.

61
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, good formula, keep it up.

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, winning helps, for sure, always does. But when they

63
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: made that move in the offseason, I was told by

64
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: very good sources that phones were off the hook, and

65
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: clearly they are. If you can see what's going on

66
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: right now. All right, let's charge charging about the Texas

67
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: Rangers have some offensive issues. Aside from yesterdays game where

68
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: they scored eight, but they are worst in the American

69
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: League and runs scored second worst in all of baseball

70
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: to the Rockies and aj You weren't here Friday, but

71
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: we talked about Jake Berger getting optioned. Then Leodi Taveres

72
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: was just cut DFA. You can get claimed. He won't.

73
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: He'll probably be in Triple A with them. And then

74
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: Donnie Ecker, their offensive coordinator, including their OC during their

75
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three World Series winning season, has been let go.

76
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: Chris Young very vocal about how they are not scoring runs.

77
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: That's very What do you think do you think this

78
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: is going to make a difference.

79
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: Listen, they got rid of their hitting coaches offseason. Chris

80
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: Hires is in Atlanta. I believe so. He was their

81
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: hitting coach the last couple of years. They got rid

82
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: of him. Now they get rid of Donniecker. They're OC,

83
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: which I don't really know what he does. Maybe Krafts

84
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: can explain. I don't know if he calls a draw

85
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 2: on third and ten or if he calls a screenplay

86
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: when the rush is getting to the QB. I don't

87
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: really know what he does. But uh, it's the same players,

88
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 2: Like it sucks for Jake Berger getting sit down, but

89
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: it's the same players. You need seeger back, You need

90
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: to send me in to get going. You need Doli

91
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: Scarcia go back to where he was two years ago. Man,

92
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: I don't know will make a change. Will it help?

93
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: Probably because it's a new voice. But at the end

94
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: of the day, man, I listen, I was on a

95
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: team where managers and coaches get fired. You look yourself

96
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: in the mirror as a player and say this is

97
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: this is my fault.

98
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 4: It sucks to it sucks to have any coach or

99
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: managers fired during the season because it's exactly what AJ said.

100
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 3: It sucks.

101
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 4: But to me, this is like a stark difference in

102
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 4: this offense. This is an underperforming offense. Touch on a

103
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 4: little bit how Baltimore's hitting. I thought this lineup would

104
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 4: be as good as Baltimore's and they're both brutal.

105
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure.

106
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 4: Either I guess my evaluation suck or there's glaring issues

107
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 4: in just a overall game strategy standpoint. So maybe this

108
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 4: is the reason that the coach got fired. But it's

109
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 4: still the players. They have to hit a fastball and

110
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: they're not.

111
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: Does this send a message in your mind? Aj to

112
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: the current group? I mean they're not going to do

113
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: anything with some of the stars.

114
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: No, who would send a message to Seeger he's hurt.

115
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: Simeon he's not going anywhere, Josh Young, he's not going anywhere,

116
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 2: Jonah him Gashioka, Adolis Garcia. I mean, no, it doesn't.

117
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: It just says, hey, be careful, we're we need to

118
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: get better. But no, it doesn't. I don't know what

119
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: message it sends other than we need to be better

120
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 2: and listen. As a player, man, you hate when people

121
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: that you have known and gone to battle with and

122
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: have had your back lose their job because it means

123
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: you're not performing the way you think you're capable of.

124
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: That's the biggest thing. It sucks as a player when

125
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: guys get fired.

126
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, I don't unders stand what message it would

127
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: be sending, like, oh, you're firing coaches the goodness I'm

128
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 4: a player man, no accountability for me? Like oh you

129
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 4: said Like I actually kind of liked as much as

130
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: I don't like seeing guys get sent down. The Jake

131
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 4: Berger thing in the sense of there was a guy

132
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 4: in Tripaa that is an older player twenty seven, twenty

133
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 4: eight years old that was sitting there going, I'm hitting

134
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: and I got called up to the big leagues. Now

135
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 4: other guys in the bushes are like, okay, if I

136
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 4: perform the way that he was performing, I could also

137
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: get called up. I think that sends a little bit

138
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 4: more of a message to players. Jake Burger's gonna be

139
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: back in the big leagues. Jake Berger might actually end

140
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 4: up with more than twenty home runs this year too. Like,

141
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 4: it doesn't mean that you get sent down you're a

142
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 4: bad player. It means that message that was sent maybe

143
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 4: kind of gets the gets the Triple A team going

144
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: a little bit in a sense of like, okay, we'll

145
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 4: be able to come and step in and help out.

146
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: And other guys can say, Marcus Simeon got dropped down

147
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 4: in the order. Those kind of moves send a message

148
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 4: firing or hitting coach and didn't send a message because

149
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: now you got a new dude that's coming in and hey,

150
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 4: he's gonna talk about this. Is this gonna connect when

151
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: the whole time it's just I gotta go out and

152
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,119
Speaker 4: perform better.

153
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on, you just said that. It sends

154
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: a message to Triple A who cares. No, no pairs with

155
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: the message great, like they get a big if we

156
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: do good, we're gonna get called up.

157
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 4: Like no kidding sends messages to players. It sends messages

158
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 4: to players because you have to. You have to keep

159
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 4: player layers know them some way. The players know though.

160
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 4: The players know if you suck, something happens.

161
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: But they're not. They're not going to get rid of

162
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: certain guys, Simeon Seger. These guys that are locked in

163
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: the long term contracts, they're not sending them to Triple A.

164
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: I mean it's cool that, well, I don't even know

165
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: the guy's name. I got called up for Burger. That's

166
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: great for him, but doesn't do anything Triple A. Everybody

167
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: in Triple A wants a big league job. That shouldn't change.

168
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: It shouldn't be like, oh, they're really gonna do it, guys,

169
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 2: let's go wherever Round Rock or Frisco or whatever it is.

170
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: No, I mean, I mean more of Look, we're not

171
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 4: afraid of sending guys down. You're right, Simeon Seeger. Josh

172
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 4: Smith is killing it like other guys are not. Not

173
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 4: every clearly not everybody's hitting. So if you show that

174
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 4: you know what, We're willing to use other guys in

175
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 4: your spot if you don't perform to me, that sends

176
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: a message.

177
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: How about Bruce Bochie never doing this? I think this

178
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: is his call. How does this decision get and put together?

179
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: Now it's just from the front office. Well, this is

180
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: a twenty eight year managerial career, and I think this

181
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: is the first time he's ever done this with a

182
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: significant coaching staff change in the season.

183
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 2: This was a front office where you need to do

184
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 2: something different here Boach, and Boach is like, okay, what

185
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: can we do to try to change this? I know

186
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: he's frustrated. Everyone there is frustrated. It's not like you know,

187
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: Ecker the offensive coordinator isn't frustrated. The players are frustrated.

188
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 2: Everyone's frustrated. So I don't know. I don't know. I

189
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: never understood making changes in the middle of the season.

190
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: You hired that guy at the beginning of the season

191
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 2: to because you believed in him. You've had this guy

192
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: around for years because you believed in him. He didn't

193
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 2: change his stripes, he didn't do something different. Guys aren't

194
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: playing well.

195
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: It sucks.

196
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: It sucks as a player. It sucks.

197
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: It is complicated enough to figure out what type of

198
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: car you want, but when it comes to pricing and

199
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,480

Speaker 4: Why because I don't have to question what the price is.

203
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: It's going to be there.

204
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,160

Speaker 4: A year and a half is the average lifespan of

221
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: a hitting coach in Major League Baseball, Like it's just

222
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 4: they're just the easy scapegoat, and it's it's to me,

223
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 4: it's a lazy it's a lazy thing, but it's something

224
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 4: that all teams do. Look, the Rockies don't even care

225
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 4: about winning and they fired Bam Bam mulens Hensley.

226
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: So the Rangers are seventeen and eighteen on the season,

227
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: and the Mariners, who just took them down in a

228
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: series this week and are twenty and thirteen. Got the

229
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: A's playing pretty good ball. I know it is the

230
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: Marlins this weekend, but the A's are playing pretty good

231
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: ball right now at nineteen sixteen on the year. Astros

232
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: are probably always going to hang around, right seventeen and sixteen.

233
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: And then there's Texas at seventeen and eighteen in fourth place.

234
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: The Angels are a mess right now. We talked plenty

235
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: about them last week. Is there a high level of

236
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: concern for a sexy World Series pick and a team

237
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: that many thought would do some damage in the Al West?

238
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: Or too early? Dot Com aj.

239
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: Tall you get your team back until you get secret back.

240
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't just say like it's too early,

241
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,599
Speaker 2: but their pitching has been really good. Thing is the

242
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 2: need to score runs. But until they get Seeger back

243
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: and plug him in the middle of the order, Langford's

244
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: been good for him, you know, Smith has been good

245
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: for him. They got to get their full lineup back,

246
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 2: but they need them back sooner rather than later. Because

247
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 2: the division is not getting any easier, especially the way

248
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: Seattle's playing and the way Seattle's swinging the bat.

249
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 4: I would say, I would say it's not gonna get

250
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 4: easier either, because every team you're playing, besides the Angels

251
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 4: right now, are gonna give you a battle. So you're

252
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 4: not if you get four games back, five games back.

253
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 4: Before you could you could run into the A's, you

254
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 4: could run into the Angels and they were they were

255
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 4: playing brutal and you could get five of six. Now

256
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 4: teams you got a battle to be able to get

257
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: four of six, even to win two series in a row.

258
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: And you can't get too far behind.

259
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 4: Not a super level concern yet, but because they're covering

260
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 4: at five hundred. But this division right now, the way

261
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 4: it seems everyone's kind of playing, and everyone's kind of

262
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 4: playing and gonna be able to beat up on each other.

263
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 4: So you just can't. You can't let it get too

264
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: too big of a lead.

265
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: Man. I know he's streaky as hell always. They gotta

266
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: get Drack Peterson going. They gotta get him on a

267
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: heater again.

268
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 2: That happened. What happened to Dole's Garcia? What happened to

269
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: him two years ago? He was hitting homers on everything?

270
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 3: Now, what happened?

271
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 2: Where'd it go?

272
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 5: What?

273
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: That's a question. Josh Young can't stay healthy. They you know,

274
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: maybe they should have kept Nathaniel Low. I don't know.

275
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 2: There's These are all questions you could ask, but until

276
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: they figured out, we can keep asking him.

277
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: And it's too early to make trades. For the most part,

278
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: you're not going to make any significant trades yet. We're

279
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: going to talk about trades later. Go ahead, Craft's last word,

280
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: and they're gonna to get it to the other big

281
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: story of the weekend. Go ahead.

282
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 4: No, just that, like you, you have, you have to

283
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 4: be able to know your personnel, and this early in

284
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: the season to make changes. They brought in Peterson and

285
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 4: Jake Berger to hit heaters, even Higashioka, who plays on

286
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 4: kind of a you know, a backup role, guys that

287
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: could hit heaters and yet they haven't, So where is

288
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 4: that adjustment that needs to be made?

289
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 3: And I also think Marcus Simeon needs to step up too.

290
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 4: He's you can't just wait on Seger to come back

291
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 4: all the time. I think he's a guy that needs

292
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 4: to be a huge piece of this lineup.

293
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: From what I recall, he wasn't great last year either.

294
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: How old is Marcus? You got to start playing that game?

295
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 3: Thirty four to thirty thirty four? Just turned thirty four.

296
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: Yeah he'll be thirty five. No, sorry, he'll be thirty

297
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 4: five sooner, sooner than later.

298
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: Just saying father time starts to slow you down. It does.

299
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: It's real, it happens to them all.

300
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: How many how many more years does he have on

301
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: that contract?

302
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: Till twenty eight? So he's got four including this season.

303
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got some time. Yes, I was just counting

304
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: four years left including this season. But in superstar levels,

305
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Also super durbly, I mean, played almost

306
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: every game for the majority of his career. That doesn't

307
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: necessarily mean that he's going to age well, like, it's

308
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: just how the game is played. You know, guys get

309
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: to their mid thirties and sometimes you know, it falls

310
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: off a cliff. I mean, Jack Peterson might be going

311
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: through that right now because he can't catch up to

312
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: a heater. Here comes Chris Catillomasslab dot com Red Sox

313
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: Beat reporter, joining us right now. Chris, good to see you.

314
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: Although tough news for the Red Sox as far as

315
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: their lineup and their depth, what did you think of

316
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: the Tristan Cosas injury and the aftermath here on how

317
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: they're going to replace him? Let's just get right to Bizma.

318
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's a you know, horrible, horrible, horrible

319
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 5: thing for him. This is a guy that I think

320
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 5: a lot of people identified as a guy going into

321
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 5: him not necessarily a make or break season, but definitely

322
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 5: a big one. Right This guy has all the talent

323
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 5: in the world. The Red Sox view him as a

324
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 5: guy who can give him thirty forty homers in the

325
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 5: middle of their lineup, and he had a really freak

326
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 5: weird injury last year that cost him a lot of

327
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 5: the season, and now this is going to cost him

328
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 5: five months of it. So I think it starts there.

329
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 5: We'll obviously get into the replacement options and all the

330
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 5: craziness and the potentials with Devers and the top prospects

331
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 5: and maybe Anthony Rizzo and all that stuff, But really

332
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 5: I think just this is a guy who could not

333
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 5: afford to have this happen. It's you know, people always

334
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 5: wonder like, oh is it the torn acl or what

335
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 5: is it? Like this injury might be worse. It's a rough,

336
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 5: hard pteller tendon, very very serious. He had surgery yesterday

337
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 5: and it's a long recovery. It's going to be a

338
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 5: brutal one for him at twenty five. Obviously, you know,

339
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 5: there's a lot of his story yet to be told.

340
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 5: But I think just on a human basis, and especially

341
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 5: you know, for a guy who is so talented, just

342
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 5: a brutal one for the red side him for everybody.

343
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 4: Is there any before we get onto other guys playing

344
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 4: other positions, is there is there any other players recently

345
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 4: that have had a ruptured protell attendant. It feels like

346
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 4: that's more of a football type of injury from what

347
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 4: I was looking at, So like recovery wise, do we

348
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 4: have any even timeline or like prognosis of how much

349
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 4: this will linger for him?

350
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 5: Yeah? I looked it up. He did the quick Google search,

351
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 5: and I think Edwin Diaz, I think when he got

352
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 5: hurt in the WBC, I think that's what it was.

353
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 5: Not one hundred percent sure it's mister Catillo, not doctor so,

354
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 5: but I just think it's It's one of those things

355
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 5: that you do see with you know, offensive linemen. You

356
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 5: see that with like a lot of offensive linemen. Have

357
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 5: it happened. Patriots had a guy called Strange who had

358
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 5: it happened too, because you know it's the planting and

359
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 5: obviously those big bodies, but this is not something you

360
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 5: see from a guy running down the first base line.

361
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 5: You know, like he he did it before he hit

362
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 5: the base, He was trying to avoid ty Frantz running

363
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 5: down the line on a dribbler and just like took

364
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 5: an awkward step running at full speed trying to beat

365
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 5: it out, and you know, the tendon completely you know,

366
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 5: ruptured snauts, whatever you want to call it. It's a

367
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 5: gruesome one. I think. You know, when a guy stretchered

368
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 5: off and there's that amount of concern right then as

369
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 5: there was, it looked bad and it turned out being

370
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 5: that way. So nothing minor at all.

371
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 4: Are you surprised at how much Alice Korra was just

372
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: staunching his approach that Devers Raphael Devers is not going

373
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 4: to be playing first base. Like even before the injury,

374
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure his quote was he will not play

375
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 4: in the field this year, and then after the injury

376
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 4: he doubled and tripled down on Are you surprised at

377
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 4: that in the sense of how he approached it and

378
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 4: not like, hey, we're open, we'll see yeah.

379
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:57,959
Speaker 5: I mean the Red Sox. I think as a lot

380
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 5: of these teams do now like they take that we're

381
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 5: open anything, we're open minded approach all the time. We

382
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 5: talked to Breslo like five minutes before we talked to

383
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 5: Kora the other day and he was asked that question

384
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 5: and he said, you know, we haven't ruled anything out.

385
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 5: We would not rule Devers out. It's not like you said, oh,

386
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 5: we're going to try that. And five minutes later we

387
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 5: go up to do the Cora pregame presser and he said,

388
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,959
Speaker 5: from my end, no, we're not going to do this.

389
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 5: We asked him to be the DHS. He didn't like it,

390
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 5: but he came around. He's hitting, well, now he's hitting

391
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 5: rockets all over the field, like, let's just keep him

392
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 5: where he is, And I think that's kind of the

393
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 5: organization'll take that they're having some self awareness that you know,

394
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 5: we just in their mind they just got through basically

395
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 5: kind of a big storm with DEVS.

396
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: You know.

397
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 5: I think people thought it was a media creation and stuff.

398
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 5: I think people thought it was just controversy for controversy's sake,

399
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 5: But he was really upset with how it went down

400
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 5: when they moved him off third base to dh I

401
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 5: don't think they handled it behind the scenes, being upfront

402
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 5: with him about the Bregman pursuit, about the Aeronauda pursuit

403
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 5: and what it would mean. You know, Cora even said

404
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 5: publicly Bregman could be a Gold Globe second baseman. That

405
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 5: was kind of a smoke screen, and then you know,

406
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 5: when it did happen in spring training, he was not

407
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 5: very happy about it, as everybody knows. He came around,

408
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 5: tensions cooled, and he's been, you know, pretty good. I

409
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 5: think that, you know, you just the way he's hitting

410
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 5: the ball hard, the way he's taking walks. He's really

411
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 5: coming into that DH roll after a very bizarre start

412
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 5: where his timing was off for those first few days.

413
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 5: So I think that they're sticking with that just because

414
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 5: they kind of have the awareness that, like, hey, we

415
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 5: just this was a big ask. This was an earth

416
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 5: shaking move in Deavor's career. He came around, We're in

417
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 5: a good spot with him. Let's not you know, upset

418
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 5: the apple cart, whatever the phrase is. Again, I think

419
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 5: the wild card in this is if Devers walks into

420
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 5: Cora's office and says, hey, I like playing the field

421
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 5: and I think I could do this. Let's start working

422
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 5: me out at first base. If he does that, if

423
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 5: he initiates it, I think all bets are off. But

424
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 5: at this point, you know, they're sticking with at least

425
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 5: yesterday and Saturday and probably for you know tomorrow rain

426
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 5: pending against Texas Romigan Zalez and Abraham Toro, and they're

427
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 5: assessing from there.

428
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: If you want to be bougie and have your own

429
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: personal shopper, Hungry Root is actually the spot, and you

Speaker 6: with kids on the run all the time, baseball, gymnastics,

433
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 6: I need a source that's gonna get me going and

Speaker 6: my kids as well. So I'll pop in an easy

435
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 6: chicken palm or grilled chicken. Put it in a nice container,

436
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 6: get it to go, and the kids are excited and

437
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 6: they're full, and they're nutritional, and it's ready to rock

438
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 6: for their games.

451
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: Why would Devers do that? Though they've been so adamant

452
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 2: about him, I wouldn't do that. If I was Raffie Devers,

453
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 2: I'd be like, you need me to play first, you

454
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,479
Speaker 2: come to me. I mean, Alex Score has been adamant adamant, adamant. Oh,

455
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 2: he's never gonna play the field. Basically like, if I'm

456
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: Raffi Devers, I'm like, I'm just getting comfortable. No, I'm

457
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 2: not doing it. Why would I. You guys treated me this,

458
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 2: There's no reason for him to do That'd be like

459
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: I'm at dah. You guys figure out the rest.

460
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think to completely agree that it's his right

461
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 5: to if he wants to have that stance. That is

462
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 5: totally within bounds. And I agree probably the way that

463
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 5: I would personally approach it if I had any athletic

464
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 5: talents whatsoever. With him, Like, there is a chance though

465
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 5: that he has this ship on his shoulder thing where

466
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 5: he wants to prove that he can play the field

467
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 5: because he liked it so much at third and was

468
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 5: so you know, worked really hard at it and I know

469
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 5: the results with the errors and stuff didn't always bear out,

470
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 5: but he, you know, was a guy that worked tirelessly

471
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 5: with the infield staff all that type of stuff. It

472
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,719
Speaker 5: was a big piece of his routine his day to day. Obviously,

473
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 5: I think there's a world in which he says like, hey,

474
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 5: like I want to do this. Maybe not. We've tried

475
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 5: to ask him a couple times the last couple of days.

476
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 5: He's decided that he doesn't want to take the questions

477
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 5: right now. Again, within his rights and, as I tweeted yesterday,

478
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 5: not a big deal. So I don't know where he

479
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 5: stands on this, and I don't know where Breslo stands

480
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 5: on it, but we do know Korra doesn't want to

481
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 5: do it, and I think that was pretty interesting.

482
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: What's the real plan then, I mean, are they going

483
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: with Rome Gonzalez and Abraham Toro for the rest of

484
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: the season or at least until the trade deadline. I mean,

485
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: we're going to host a Baseball America Hot Sheet show

486
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: later on and talk about this. So I'd like to

487
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 1: ask you as well. Roman Anthony is pretty damn good.

488
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: It looks like he could hit in the big leagues

489
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: right now. It's a very competitive division and you want

490
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: to make sure if you're the Red Sox you get

491
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: back in the playoffs. It has not been good times

492
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: the last few years. He is capable of playing first base.

493
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: It sounds like they already shot that down as well.

494
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 5: Why yeah, I just think with Roman Anthony and Marcelo Meyer,

495
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 5: these guys are so young and they want them developed

496
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 5: at their positions. You know, on the defensive side, Marcelo's

497
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 5: pretty good and Anthony has made strides in the outfield.

498
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 5: They moved him to all three spots. I think that,

499
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 5: you know, with guys that are that good, even when

500
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 5: the hit tool is probably big league ready, Like, they

501
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 5: don't want to add another wrinkle to the development right

502
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 5: now and have them play a position that neither of

503
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 5: them have, you know, really at any level. Maybe in

504
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 5: the future, maybe they have this conversation down the line.

505
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 5: I think you know where those guys fit in. I

506
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 5: think there's zero percent chance either of them play first

507
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,239
Speaker 5: base for the Red Sox this year. I do think

508
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,239
Speaker 5: there are ways where the Red Sox could, you know,

509
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 5: figure something out. It's a little hard when you look

510
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 5: at who they have in the outfield, but you know,

511
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 5: is there a world in which Christian Campbell gets to

512
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 5: first kind of the same thing we're just talking about right,

513
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 5: Like he's a top prospect even though he's been in

514
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 5: the big leagues for a month. Do they want to

515
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 5: add another position to him? Maybe not, But maybe Marcelo

516
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 5: Meyer comes up and plays short and Trevor Story goes

517
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 5: to first. Like I wouldn't rule that fully out right

518
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 5: now it's Rome and Toro, and I think they're looking

519
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 5: at that opt out market. You know, last year, costas

520
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 5: went down and they got Garrett Cooper and Tom Smith

521
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 5: to platoon. I don't think that options like that are

522
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 5: really premier options for them, just because they know now

523
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 5: unlike they did last year, that Cosas will be out

524
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 5: the rest of the year. They didn't know and he

525
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 5: was going to come back. And also, this team has

526
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 5: designs on, you know, really contending and hopefully for them

527
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 5: being among the best teams in the AL and so

528
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 5: the ceiling is higher. So therefore the ceiling should be

529
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 5: higher on who they replace Cossas with, higher than Tom

530
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 5: Smith and Garrett Cooper and Tom Smith was okay. I

531
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 5: think the wild card here, and you know, you guys

532
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 5: might know the situation better than I do, is Anthony Rizzo.

533
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 5: I don't know if he has interest in playing at

534
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 5: this point. I don't know if the Red Sox of

535
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 5: interest in bringing him in. If he's going to demand

536
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 5: a major league deal with a four or five million

537
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 5: dollars salary, I could doubt that they would do it.

538
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,120
Speaker 5: But if he is going to take a minor league deal,

539
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,919
Speaker 5: something he said earlier that he didn't want to do,

540
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 5: maybe they bring him in see it what he has

541
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 5: left in the tank for his original organization he was

542
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 5: drafted by Maybe that's your break to the trade deadline.

543
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean I think that everything is

544
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 5: on the table, but I do you know, as you said,

545
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 5: find it hard to believe that Gonzales and Toro are

546
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 5: the options for the next you know, five months. I

547
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 5: just don't see that being the case right now. I

548
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 5: think they need a solution to get them to the

549
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 5: trade deadline at minimum and then address it from there,

550
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 5: or you know, that kind of drastic Devers thing, or

551
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 5: you know, maybe Rizzo comes in is good. Who knows.

552
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 5: But it's a position where they definitely didn't have that

553
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 5: much depth, you know, like they Roami was playing when

554
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 5: Costas wasn't starting against lefties at Triple A. They've worked

555
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 5: von Grissom out there. He's only played four or five games,

556
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 5: just in an effort to get some more depth. So,

557
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 5: you know, the injury is obviously brutal for Casas chiefly

558
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 5: and for the Red Sox lineup, but it's also at

559
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 5: a position where they just don't have bodies.

560
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 4: Well, you mentioned bodies, Go ahead, Crutch. Sorry, I was

561
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 4: just going to say getting offense at first base. I

562
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 4: feel like there's offense to be had this team's defense

563
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 4: is not very good and first base is a cornerstone,

564
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 4: would it be easier for them to find defense, not

565
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 4: for go offense. But ultimately, if your first basement isn't good,

566
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 4: your infielders stink too, because normally you have a really

567
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 4: good first baseman when your infielders win gold gloves because

568
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 4: they're picking stuff. Is that a route that they're willing

569
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 4: to go to, or are they just thinking, you know what,

570
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 4: if we can find any kind of offense or just

571
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 4: a warm body over there.

572
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think the defense part of it

573
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 5: is very very important. That's the reason one of many,

574
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 5: but one of the big ones that they went out

575
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 5: and got Bregman and moved Evers because their infield defense

576
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 5: has not been very good for a long time. You know,

577
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 5: second base has been a revolving door. Story has been hurt,

578
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 5: so that's they've had to have these constant you know,

579
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 5: fill ins short too. But Endeavor is always you know,

580
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 5: near the league lead and errors as hard as he

581
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 5: does work at it. So I think, you know, installing

582
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 5: Bregman in story a very professional, at times elite left

583
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 5: side there, I think was important to them because they

584
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 5: knew that Campbell, there might be a learning curve at

585
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 5: second he settled in and been okay and cosas you know,

586
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 5: the big body and you know, okay, am out of

587
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 5: major league experience. Now I think they were okay with

588
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 5: but you know, we're always looking for ways to improve.

589
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 5: So I think it's a it's an important piece of it.

590
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 5: You know, they weren't getting a ton from costUS offensively already.

591
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 5: I think that they thought he was gonna go on

592
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 5: a big heater and be you know, really good, you know,

593
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 5: as things heated up here. But at this point it's

594
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 5: almost a bigger scamp be choosers thing, right, Like it's

595
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 5: May fifth. This is not a time where you can

596
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 5: go out and get a lot in the way of

597
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 5: options that are out there. Big trades usually aren't made.

598
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 5: So I think, you know, they're gonna have to you know,

599
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 5: it's not gonna be a perfect solution whatever it is, right,

600
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 5: and guys are gonna have to move around. If one

601
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 5: of these top prospects was the first basement, it would

602
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 5: be perfect. Other than that, you know, there's just not one.

603
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: Ay j you get you're.

604
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: Back, yeah it was never gone.

605
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: Oh okay, just making sure all right, what about Do

606
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: you think there's there's external options that could be in

607
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: play here as well, Chris.

608
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you know, Rizzo's the one that sticks

609
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 5: out just because he is available. And again, I don't

610
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 5: know about a situation. So but a guy who's obviously

611
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 5: a pro, a guy who's a lot of big market experience,

612
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 5: championship pedigree, like I said, a guy who the Red

613
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 5: Sox originally drafted. They traded in the Adrian Gazalez trade

614
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 5: years ago, so maybe that. You know, again, it's just

615
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 5: it's tough to make a trade on May fifth. You know,

616
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 5: the Padres did it with Arise last year. Other than that,

617
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 5: you don't really see those blockbusters go down now, So

618
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 5: I'm sure they're they're calling teams and seeing who's out there,

619
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 5: but you're gonna have to pay a premium, so you know,

620
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 5: Like like I said, a bridge that gets them to

621
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 5: the trade deadline to where they can really address it

622
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 5: might make the most sense. But I think they're open

623
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 5: to really anything other than Anthony or Meyer moving to

624
00:29:54,480 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 5: first on a whim.

625
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: Ft, fam, We're excited to introduce you to Rowback with

626

Speaker 1: of every product. Kratz, what are you rocking for us?

628
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 4: I'm rocking the polo, which never feel like a T

629
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 4: shirt until now. Out on the course, I'm gonna stay

630
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 4: cool and as much as I sweat, I won't be wet.

631

635
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's move to Walker Bueller. We haven't really

636
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: covered that one yet either. So what do you know

637
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: about his injury?

638
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, he talked yesterday for the first time since going down,

639
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 5: and he was really upbeat and really pretty sure that

640
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 5: it's nothing major at all. He said he learned from

641
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 5: Max shus Or when they were teammates in LA that

642
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 5: if you can't throw through the ball, then it's not

643
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,719
Speaker 5: something you can pitch through. And his last three starts,

644
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 5: even though he's been pretty good, he's had a really

645
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 5: good four start stretch, he just didn't feel like he was,

646
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 5: you know, delivering at the level where he was comfortable.

647
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 5: And he said he had a shoulder thing that no

648
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 5: one ever talked about was never public before. That was

649
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 5: a Grade three tear and his shoulder years ago, and

650
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 5: this felt similar. So he was really terrified and worried

651
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 5: it was something serious. But the MRI showed Versidas he

652
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 5: is going to be back throwing today. He hopes to

653
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 5: miss just two or three starts. And this is a

654
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 5: guy who, you know, talk about an X factor for

655
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 5: the Red Sox if you can pencil and Crochet being

656
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 5: really really good every five days. They needed number two

657
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 5: to step up, you know, Bueller, Bo and howck all

658
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 5: in that mix. Howk has not been great to start

659
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 5: the year. Bueller's been up and down, BeO, you know,

660
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 5: was hurt, so they need somebody to be that number two.

661
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 5: Bueller's obviously the guy with the most experienced of that group,

662
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 5: and I think a guy who has plenty to prove

663
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 5: this year on a one year deal, so he wants

664
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 5: to be back sooner rather than later. And I would guess,

665
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 5: you know, somewhere around May fifteenth, May twenty if he

666
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 5: will be.

667
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 4: Chris, We're going to get to something a little bit

668
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 4: more positive, actually a lot positive. Huge signing an off

669
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 4: season with Alex pregnant, has he like, could he have

670
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 4: done anything more coming in on the contract that he

671
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 4: came in on.

672
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 3: Then he's done so far.

673
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 5: No, it's been unbelievable. I mean home road, he had

674
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 5: a couple of errors the first couple of weeks that

675
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 5: put him in a bad spot. Maybe that'll be the

676
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 5: negative option there, but other I mean, offensively, this is

677
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 5: a guy who's always started slow. You know, his OPS

678
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 5: is way lower in March slash April than it is

679
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,719
Speaker 5: and all the other months of his career historically. You know,

680
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 5: it's been a thing in Houston. It's something Scott Morris

681
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 5: even brought up in the introductory pressor in Fort Myers.

682
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 5: But he has been incredible, you know, big hits, run producer, homers,

683
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 5: wearing out the Monster, a stabilizing force at Third clubhouse, leader,

684
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 5: all that stuff. I mean, it's going to be, you know,

685
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 5: fascinating with the opt out decision at the end of

686
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 5: the year. But he has if he you know, plays

687
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 5: well enough where he does opt out, the Red Sox

688
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 5: will be in a good spot because that'll mean that

689
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 5: he produced all year. He's you know, showed no signs

690
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 5: of slowing down. And like he's a guy that's just

691
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 5: been excellent, especially offensively, I think some of the cold

692
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 5: weather games he didn't love on the defensive side of things.

693
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 5: It was thirty five degrees the first pitch one night.

694
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 5: But he's been, you know, a lot better the last

695
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 5: few weeks. And he's been the forty million a year.

696
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 5: I know it's deferred, but that looks like an underpay.

697
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 4: What is the history with the Red Sox not letting

698
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 4: him get the free agency finished the job that they

699
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 4: did when they went out and got him and they

700
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 4: went forty a year. Yes, deferred, but forty a year. Hey,

701
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 4: you're making a big commitment. It seemed like the Red

702
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 4: Sox were all in. You went and got Crochet, you

703
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 4: got gave up a few, you know, some of your prospects.

704
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 4: Why would they pull back if he's done what he's done.

705
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 4: I know he's a Boris client. Boris' clients don't extend

706
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 4: very often, except Boris clients that go to free agency

707
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 4: and don't quite get what they want. Are the Red

708
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 4: Sox inclined or ever in a position.

709
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 3: To do that?

710
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think like they have kind of

711
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 5: a crowded infield mix already, So I think it depends on,

712
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 5: you know, the long term future of where they see

713
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 5: Marcela Meyer playing. You know, they are going to have

714
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 5: Trevor Story under contract. He hasn't opt out, but that's

715
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 5: going to be tough to see him exercising that. He

716
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 5: had a great couple of weeks. He's been very slow

717
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 5: the last couple so they do have a lot of

718
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 5: infield options. You know, if if Story is still there,

719
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 5: uh and they can't trade him and they want to

720
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 5: keep him around, then that you know, clogs up one

721
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 5: spot for a couple of years. You have Campbell probably

722
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:28,800
Speaker 5: is the long term first baseman obviously, you know, I

723
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 5: would have said Costas is your long term first basement

724
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 5: five days ago. Now it's you know, going to be

725
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 5: a long recovery. So who knows at the end of that.

726
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 5: You know, just because they move Devers to DH for

727
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 5: this year, he's still going to be, you know, a

728
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 5: pretty young player as of next year and he could

729
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 5: move back there. So there's just a lot up in

730
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 5: the air. I think when it comes to the infield,

731
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 5: you know, and they have you know, Meyer, I think

732
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 5: is the key to all of it when he does

733
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 5: come up. So at the end of the year, I'm

734
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 5: not saying there's not going to be a need for

735
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 5: a guy like Alex Bragman if he's producing like this,

736
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 5: of course there is, and of course leadership wise, the

737
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 5: swing f fanway, it's a perfect fit in a lot

738
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 5: of ways. But it's a crowded mix. There's going to

739
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 5: be tough decisions that are going to be made their

740
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 5: position player wise. Obviously they have too many outfielders too,

741
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 5: so we'll see where it goes. They have a lot

742
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 5: of talented players. It's just about making the the pieces

743
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 5: work together, which is something they have not done for

744
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 5: a long time, and I think that that's going to

745
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 5: be a focus moving forward.

746
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: Chris, thanks for swinging by Man. You're the best. Appreciate

747
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: it and everyone check out Chris's workmass live dot com.

748
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: Plus you can follow all the action with him on

749
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 1: Twitter at Chris Catillo cot I L l oh.

750
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 5: Thanks Chris, Thanks guys to you.

751
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: I will say this, I mean, it's easy to look back,

752
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: but if the Red Sox had an opportunity to say,

753
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: trade for a Mariners pitcher and give away a Tristan Cassus,

754
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean they should have done it. We don't know

755
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: the injury history, but I'm even pointing to the fact

756
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: that in the first month of the season age. I

757
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: mean he was really struggling at the plate.

758
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was, And he struggled last year too. One

759
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: of the question marks and what would he do? Would

760
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 2: he be able to bounce back? And he didn't show

761
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 2: it this year. And then you never want to see

762
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 2: anybody get injured. Just injuries are the worst thing that

763
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: can happen to anybody, Just a terrible, terrible injury. But

764
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,879
Speaker 2: is this the end for Christian Costs in Boston? That's

765
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 2: the question. I mean, he's getting into RB eligible now

766
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: and after two years basically not being able to play,

767
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 2: you have to start asking the question, is this it

768
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 2: for him in Boston? And we don't know, but they

769
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 2: got to find a solution at first base. I don't

770
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 2: think Anthony Rizzo's the answer. He hasn't played. He's probably

771
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 2: not even ready to go. He won't take a minor

772
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 2: league deal, so that's not an option. Let's stop with that. Chris,

773
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 2: we love you, but that's not an option. And then

774
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 2: they got to figure it out. I don't know who

775
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 2: the answer is. Do they go get a Andrew Vaughan

776
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 2: from the White Sox or someone like that. Bobby Dahlbeck

777
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: was just Dfasia in the White Sox. I don't know.

778
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking of names that you could try there

779
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: because they need somebody. Rome Gonzalez and you know, Toro,

780
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 2: I don't think are the answer either. So what are

781
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: the Red Sox going to do? Because they've made this

782
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 2: push to be a team that can compete, but you

783
00:36:58,239 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 2: need a first baseman.

784
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's get right to the tweet here. We

785
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 1: have two minutes, and it's kind of a long quote

786
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 1: from Ron Washington, But aj, this team has been a mess.

787
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: They've lost fifteen of nineteen games. Have they won since

788
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: the travel day fiasco? Anyway? They were asking. He said,

789
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: I've had many conversations with the team. I'm tired of

790
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: having meetings. I've had a lot of meetings, and sometimes

791
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: when you have too many meetings, it falls on deaf ears.

792
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: I call a meeting when I think it's important. Right now,

793
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: it's not like we're playing terrible baseball. The score might

794
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: look like it. We've just got to start getting some

795
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: outs late in the game. And if we start getting

796
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: outslate in the game, that'll turn it around. The attitude

797
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: is good, the atmosphere in the clubhouse is good. We've

798
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: just got to figure out a way to win some

799
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: ball games.

800
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 2: Listen, I go back to what Ozzy Gehan used to

801
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 2: say all the time when people would ask about team meetings.

802
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 2: Bad teams have meetings, good teams win. There's only so

803
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 2: many meetings you can have. At the end of the day,

804
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 2: you got what you got, and you just go out

805
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 2: and play. And I listen, the score is the ultimate

806
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 2: indicator where you're at. Yes, have they won since that?

807
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 2: They did beat the Tigers on Saturday, I believe Scott,

808
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 2: so they have won a game since then? Yeah, I

809
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 2: agree with Washing this like, how many meetings can you have?

810
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 5: It?

811
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 2: It ain't a meeting. This isn't football, where you can

812
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 2: like run harder and tackle stronger and make a better block.

813
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 2: This is baseball where you have to kind of be

814
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 2: like this. So unless you see something blatantly wrong, meaning

815
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 2: with effort, which Wash doesn't see, or with preparation, which

816
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 2: he says he doesn't see, a team meeting doesn't really

817
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 2: do you any good other than I don't know, let's

818
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 2: have a meeting to have a meeting. I don't get it.

819
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: Hot corner, let's sizzle. The Blue Jays are trying to

820
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: pick up some reinforcements for their starting rotation. Of course,

821
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: Minoa is still missing for a bit and Max Scherzer

822
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: is on the sixty day IL. Now they pick up

823
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: Jose Arena that's on a minor league deal. It'd made

824
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: one appearance for the Mets. Actually put up ok numbers

825
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: last year. A bunch of starts thirty something starts last

826
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: year with Texas and then I don't remember which one

827
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: of you it was, but Spencer Turnbull is signing with

828
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: the Blue Jays. He's going to go to a complex league,

829
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: get himself ramped back up kind of situation. He had

830
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: a two and a half ish era last year. He

831
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: was really damn good. When he added a sweeper, it

832
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: was a money pitch for him. It really made a

833
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: difference for him. He looked really good. I mean small

834
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: sample size. He got hurt for the second half of

835
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 1: the year. But was it aj? Was it? I mean

836
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: usually I had default to you. Were you making fun

837
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: of me when you said I mentioned him too much

838
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 1: and why he should sign on with a team.

839
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 3: Oh?

840
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: Yes, I was making fun of you because you talked

841
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 2: about him every day like he was a difference maker,

842
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: like he was like they were bringing in like I

843
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 2: don't know Clayton Kershaw or Justin Verlander in their prime

844
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 2: of their career. I don't know. Spencer Turmble had a

845
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 2: greatyear last year. Good for him, and I'm glad he

846
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 2: signed with somebody, but he's not I mean, is Jose

847
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 2: Urania and Spencer Turnbull gonna make the Blue Jays hit

848
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,720
Speaker 2: more homers and do more damage offensively? Because their pitching

849
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 2: has been okay, it's been more of the fact that

850
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 2: they haven't really hit. So I don't know. I mean,

851
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 2: they're sixteen and eighteen right now, they're in fourth place,

852
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 2: tied for third with the Rays. I guess so depending

853
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: on how you look at it, But I don't know.

854
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 2: I mean, these are nice moves for the people. But

855
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 2: does it does it change the direction of the Blue

856
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 2: Jay season?

857
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 3: Ast you?

858
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 2: I'll ask you that Scott.

859
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: Does it change the direction of the season?

860
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 6: No?

861
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: Does it help them tread water? I think it could, right,

862
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 1: I mean, Spencer Turnbull, if he's healthy, is a big

863
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: league starting pitcher in my mind, And so I don't

864
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: know what the money ended up being. But there was

865
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: a standoff there and teams were just like not which

866
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: has happened with quite a few other free agents. To me,

867
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: this was just a case of a guy who's not

868
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,880
Speaker 1: that old. He's thirty two years old. Again, it was

869
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: fifty some out innings last year, but a one fifty

870
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: six ra plus. I mean, he was dynamite. That is

871
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: actually probably comparable to Erland er Kershaw prime numbers. They

872
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: just did it for like two hundred something innings instead

873
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: of like fifty six innings. I get it, okay, but

874
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: he could help the offense is to me, you know

875
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 1: it's not there. Santander's had a slow start. Boba Schett

876
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: finally at his first home run of the season this

877
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: past weekend. I mean, to me, Kratz, I think that's

878
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: the biggest X factor in the offense. In the offseason

879
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: we were like, cool, Santandera gets added, Laddie should do

880
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 1: Laddie things. Bo's gonna bounce back. The power is not

881
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: bounced back for him.

882
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 3: It hasn't.

883
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,399
Speaker 4: I'm not sure where it went, whether he was dealing

884
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 4: with the elbow last year. As batting averages up higher

885
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 4: this year. But this is this is really a make

886
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 4: or break season. Boba Schet's is going to be in

887
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 4: the big leagues next year. It's a matter of is

888
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 4: he going to get a nice little shortstop deal or

889
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 4: is he going to get a Dansby Swanson type of

890
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 4: one hundred plus million dollar deal When he goes out

891
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,879
Speaker 4: into free agency and this team needs him, he's hitting

892
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 4: at the top of their order. But even if he

893
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 4: does turn it around like a team that has Andre Simenez, again,

894
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 4: we love andres, we love him, and he's got platinum

895
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 4: in his glove, but he doesn't have platinum.

896
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 3: In his back.

897
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 4: If he's hitting fourth or fifth in your lineup, you

898
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 4: need other guys to step up that haven't yet. And

899
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 4: it's really through this entire team.

900
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm with you, I mean, bo this year, you know,

901
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,439
Speaker 1: it's definitely a better year for him. I mean last

902
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: year was a seventy ops plus five ninety eight ops.

903
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 1: He's had a seven oh six right now, two eighty

904
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: eight batting average, three twenty three on base, but the

905
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: slugs three eighty four. I mean, that's the difference because

906
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: he was really consistent. AJ. That was the one thing

907
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 1: we looked at at the start of his career was

908
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: season after season he is putting up well above average

909
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: offensive numbers, and part of that, of course, was the

910
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: slugin percentage at least in the mid to upper four hundreds.

911
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you're just not seeing that from him yet,

912
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 1: and maybe the Homer gets it going, but I mean,

913
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 1: to me, it goes a big standout. I don't know

914
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: what twenty seven.

915
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 2: That's that's why I wonder where did it go? What happened?

916
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 2: It's not like he's, you know, thirty seven, he's twenty seven.

917
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 2: What happened? I know you have rough months and rough

918
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 2: this and rough that, but gosh, Bobashitt was such a

919
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 2: dynamic player for so long. You just wonder where did

920
00:42:59,040 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 2: it go?

921
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 3: Really interesting to me, I have no idea.

922
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 4: The swing is the swing to me, physically, effort wise,

923
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,919
Speaker 4: still looks the same. You know, he was always kind

924
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 4: of it looked like he was off balance in the

925
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 4: sense of like he would put some serious torque into it.

926
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 4: And he still does that hand eye coordination. It just

927
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 4: looks like it looks like he's not able to drive

928
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 4: the ball to the gaps the same because he's always

929
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 4: had that super quick batspeed, snap hooking doubles down the line.

930
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 4: It's it is definitely a case that is intriguing to

931
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 4: me to figure out why.

932
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's happening for Santander right now. He's

933
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: got four homers sitting in a buck, seventy eight sludding

934
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: three ten, got a little better.

935
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 2: That's that's more pressure to me, Like I just signed

936
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 2: a deal. I need to I need to perform. Give

937
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 2: him a little bit of time. It happens to a

938
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 2: lot of guys. I mean, let's let's give him a

939
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 2: little bit of time. We're still in May. Let's get

940
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 2: till June and then we'll talk about it. But that's

941
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 2: that to me is a I signed a big contract,

942
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 2: I got a press and we're not hitting, so I

943
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 2: needed to carry it.

944
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 4: Hey, sometimes there Santander is not a year in and

945
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 4: year out forty guy.

946
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 3: Early in his career he was here here, here, here.

947
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 4: And then he started to really the last couple of years,

948
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 4: started to figure out how to have that consistent doing

949
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,800
Speaker 4: consistent damage from year from season to season.

950
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: A Jath. I think it's also just fair to say

951
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 1: that this is a team that relies on starting pitching

952
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 1: and defense more than anything else. You know, we we've

953
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: looked on paper for years like, oh wow, this should

954
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,959
Speaker 1: be a really good lineup. But George Springer's getting up there.

955
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: Bar Show is definitely more of a glove guy Bo

956
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have the power. Santander's off to a slow start.

957
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,959
Speaker 1: The bottom of the lineup's not intimidating, so you start

958
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: to look up and you're like, yeah, I mean, go ahead,

959
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: load up your rotation, make sure that you win those

960
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: three two games because they're going to have to to

961
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 1: stick around.

962
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 2: You are what the numbers say you are at the

963
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 2: end of the day, Scott. You can try to sugarcoat

964
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 2: it with expected eras and expected batting averages and all this,

965
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 2: but you are what your numbers say you are, and

966
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 2: you're right. That's what this offense has been for the

967
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 2: last few years. And when they've gotten into the playoffs,

968
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 2: they haven't done anything offensively. That's why they much like

969
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 2: the Orioles, right, the Oriols have bad, great offenses and

970
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 2: they go to the postseason and they disappear. Why. Nobody knows, right,

971
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 2: So at some point you are what you are. I

972
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 2: don't know. There's no easy answer, because trust me, if

973
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 2: there was an easy answer, GMS and owners and President

974
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 2: of Baseball off so that have already figured this out.

975
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 2: But it's just such a fickle game. Baseball it's so hard.

976
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: Let's finish with this right now. Just in terms of

977
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 1: teams that you like in the division, go one through

978
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: five for me on the American League East, teams that

979
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: you like, dunk off the standings, just you know, teams

980
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: you like, teams you think are going to be legit

981
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 1: playoff contenders, the whole deal. Go down the line, Crats,

982
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: you want to go first?

983
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 3: Yankees, Red Sox.

984
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 4: I get I get it, I'm wrong in this, But

985
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 4: I love the Orioles. I really think they just they

986
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 4: have to turn it around and I don't see how.

987
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 4: But and then the Jays and then the race. I

988
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 4: think the Rays, I don't know if they can continue

989
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 4: to hit the magic button this year without that one

990
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 4: ace stepping up for their staff.

991
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: AJ anything different from yours.

992
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 2: I'm just going Yankees, Red Sox. If you're just asking

993
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 2: playoff contenders right now, that's it. I mean another three are.

994
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 2: But unless Baltimore does something, turns it around to prove

995
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 2: me wrong, I can't. I just can't do it right

996
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: now with the other teams in this especially the AL West,

997
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 2: with where they're standing. And then I look at the

998
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 2: center with the Tigers and the Royals, the Royals are

999
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 2: a better team than than the Orioles. I just watched it.

1000
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: They beat them two out of three this weekend. I

1001
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 2: think they beat them two out of three in Kansas City,

1002
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: So I mean the Royals are a better team. So

1003
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 2: there's your six playoff teams. If you go Yankees, Red Sox,

1004
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 2: two of the West and two of the Central. There's

1005
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 2: your sick and where are the Orioles. They're out.

1006
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 4: I thought you meant to just rank the American League East.

1007
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 4: Sorry I didn't. I wasn't giving you my five playoff

1008
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 4: teams all coming from the East. But do you think

1009
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 4: the Day's signed Spencer Turnbull to not allow the Orioles.

1010
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 3: To sign him because happened?

1011
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 4: If he is a big league pitcher, why would the

1012
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 4: Oriols not The Orioles don't have five starting pitchers currently.

1013
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: That's a great question. I think that he was one

1014
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: of the veterans. In a standoff, he was in the

1015
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: Lance Lynn category, except they're two very different pitching profiles

1016
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: right now. I think Lance would also tell you, you know,

1017
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,240
Speaker 1: like he was at the late stages of his career,

1018
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: he's okay stepping away. Spencer Turnbull's thirty two coming off

1019
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: the best results we've seen from him. He was not

1020
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: trying to step away. I mean, I don't know. We'll

1021
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 1: get the number at some point, but I don't know

1022
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: why Baltimore or plenty of other teams wouldn't jump at

1023
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: starter if he's available like this. But we haven't talked

1024
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 1: about in a while, so I'm okay doing this. AJ.

1025
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: David Robertson's still out there too, and he was a

1026
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: damn good reliever last year. It's not like, oh, it's

1027
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: been a couple of years. No, he's been good year

1028
00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: after year, even though he's up there in age. So

1029
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: he'll probably sign if he wants to still play halfway

1030
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: through the season, and he'll get the number that he

1031
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: wanted there, you know where Let's say he wanted ten,

1032
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: and maybe a team at the deadline is like, you

1033
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: know what, instead of signing prospects, let's get David Robertson

1034
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: to try. He's been throwing the whole time here, and

1035
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,439
Speaker 1: we'll sign him for five you know, ten pro rated

1036
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year or something like that.

1037
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see. I mean, it's kind of like Lancelyn

1038
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 2: and Ross stripling in front of the show Chicken Strim

1039
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 2: who announced his retirement. Right at some point, the juice

1040
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 2: isn't worth the squeeze, isn't worth the juice. What is it?

1041
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 2: The juice isn't worth the squeeze. Whatever it is, what

1042
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 2: the saying is, and they just don't want to do

1043
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 2: it anymore. And you realize, you know what, I'm okay

1044
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 2: not playing baseball. You can't play baseball your whole life.

1045
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,640
Speaker 2: So I don't know if David Robertson's going to come back.

1046
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 2: I mean, listen Spencer Turnbull to say he did Blue

1047
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 2: Jay sign him to keep him away from the Orioles.

1048
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 2: I think the Blue jayson him because Ross Atkins and

1049
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 2: Martin and Shapiro think there might be in trouble and

1050
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 2: they need to try to do everything they can to

1051
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 2: win this year. And they look at the other teams

1052
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 2: in division say this division is possibly winnable if we

1053
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 2: can get it right. So I don't know if it

1054
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 2: was to keep them away from the Oarls. I think

1055
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 2: it was more to improve their team. And you know what,

1056
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 2: if he does good, guess what they can do with

1057
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 2: them if they're out of it, they can trade them

1058
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 2: and try and get some prospects. So this is a

1059
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:23,879
Speaker 2: win win for the for the Blue Jays. I don't

1060
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 2: think anything to do with the Oarls. I think it's

1061
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 2: just they were like, he can improve our team, because

1062
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: who do we have out there?

1063
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: Yep, agreed, brilliant. Yeah, if you're not in a good

1064
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: spot and he looks good, then you can flip them

1065
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: at that point. And he's had injury concerns in his career,

1066
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: well now you're really only going to get him for

1067
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: about a half a season, so you kind of limit

1068
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: that risk a little bit too, all right. Hes Sung

1069
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 1: Kim has been called up by the Dodgers, so he

1070
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: was an off season signing. We're kind of looking around,

1071
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: like does nobody else want this guy? And then the

1072
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 1: Dodgers have so much depth, ayja, they talk them into

1073
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: going down to the minor leagues for a bit. Eight

1074
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: oh one ops down at Triple A. Not not a

1075
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 1: big power guy, not a big exit velocity guy, which

1076
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: obviously you know a lot of front offices look at

1077
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 1: and see if you're at a certain threshold to kind

1078
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: of be a big leaguer. I was looking up the

1079
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: numbers for him. I'll get him in a sec on

1080
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: you know where he was at at least in triple A.

1081
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: So average exibilo was eighty seven point three miles an

1082
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: hour cleared ninety five, which is the hard hit rate

1083
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: number thirty one percent of the time. So that number

1084
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: would rank two thirty seven out of two hundred and

1085
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 1: sixty qualified hitters. I know what you're gonna say, that's

1086
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: not what he's known for. Start all over the Diamonds,

1087
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: make contact, run around. He didn't even get in that bat,

1088
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: yet they put him for an inning, in in at

1089
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: second base, in an inning at a pinch front.

1090
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 2: His nickname is the comment why because he runs fast right,

1091
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 2: stole a base last night. He's got the double oven

1092
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 2: mits going. Yeah. I mean his game is not power.

1093
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 2: That Dodgers did not sign him for power. They signed

1094
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 2: him for pinch running, defense and whatever else he can do.

1095
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 2: Get some hits, bunt, put some pressure on the defense.

1096
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 2: So book him to the big leagues, Hassan Kim. I

1097
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 2: hope it goes well for you. But a team like

1098
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:09,760
Speaker 2: the Dodgers, I mean, it's hard to find a bats

1099
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,800
Speaker 2: on that team, you know, because of who they have everywhere.

1100
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 2: But I think he can help them because I think

1101
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,479
Speaker 2: he does bring in athleticism that they need, especially later

1102
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 2: in the games. And their manager he knows something about

1103
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 2: stealing bases.

1104
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 4: He knows he knows how important it is to get

1105
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 4: ninety feet. And this dude the other night when he

1106
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:31,400
Speaker 4: came in, he got his team ninety feet. Yes, he

1107
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 4: stole base, obviously it was it was a I mean,

1108
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 4: it was no contest stolen base. But the play where

1109
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 4: it was a groundball, I think it was ground I

1110
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 4: forget where it was, but he advanced after the throw

1111
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 4: to third and Olsen tried to throw him out a

1112
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 4: third like it was. It was a legit play like

1113
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 4: that was a big league base running that Dave Roberts

1114
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 4: he loves that stuff because he used to do it.

1115
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I assume he'll get a start, obviously in

1116
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: the next day or two, just to get him some

1117
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: AB's see what he looks like at the plate. The

1118
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 1: strikeerd percentage is a little high, but a small sample size.

1119
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 1: He's coming over from Overseas's let's give him a second here.

1120
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: But I mean, this was a guy who you know

1121
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: they brought in. Remember then they traded away Gavin Lux

1122
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 1: And by the way, he gets the playing time because

1123
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: Tommy Edmond hits the shelf ankle inflammation, So it doesn't

1124
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: sound like it's if he's serious.

1125
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 4: If he's getting a lot of at bats, the Dodgers

1126
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,680
Speaker 4: are not in a good place. But that's not a

1127
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 4: knock against him, It's a knock against how deep this

1128
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 4: team is. Look at the dudes that are on the bench.

1129
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 4: I need to give key k at bats versus right handers.

1130
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 4: Chris Taylor when he's healthy like this is he should

1131
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 4: not be getting a ton of at bats with the

1132
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,720
Speaker 4: way that this team is constructed. But he can step

1133
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 4: in and be a veteran spark plug, which is rare

1134
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 4: to find an older and older player with a lot

1135
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 4: of experience that can step in and.

1136
00:52:58,280 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 3: Do that kind of thing.

1137
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: And then I just want to point this out, and

1138
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: I'll pair the two together. Aj Yamamoto for the Dodgers

1139
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: and then Max Free who pitched on Friday for the

1140
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: Yanks and shoved again. I mean, those two right now

1141
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: are front runners for SI. We're super early, but I

1142
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: feel like now that we're, you know, six weeks or

1143
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: so into the season, we can give them some extra love.

1144
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 2: They've been ridiculous, they have, And my question is is

1145
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 2: is Yamamoto just going to be the Friday night college

1146
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 2: starter and Sazaki Saturday, and then it was Glass now Sunday.

1147
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,439
Speaker 2: Like they're on a once a week schedule here, it's

1148
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 2: like college, right, they have a Friday night starter Saturday.

1149
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 2: I mean eventually they're going to have to mix that up, right?

1150
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 2: Do the Dodgers have enough depth to keep doing bullpen

1151
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 2: games to keep them on this once a week schedule?

1152
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 1: Hey, it's working for Yamamoto. I wouldn't change a thing, Yamamoto.

1153
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: Fridays are a vibe right now.

1154
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 2: You're right, Just Sazaki's on Saturday and it was Glass

1155
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 2: now on Sunday. So I don't know. Do they have

1156
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 2: enough depth to keep that going the whole year? I know,

1157
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 2: or what's thirty five games in? But do they have

1158
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 2: enough depth to keep it going?

1159
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 4: Yes, And they have a good enough lineup to keep

1160
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 4: it going where the other night's ah, yeah, you know what.

1161
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 4: Ultimately it's probably gonna end up screwing somebody else. But

1162
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 4: leave him on Fridays. Hey, you're playing Friday, like, we'll

1163
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 4: see you the rest of the week. To me, I

1164
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 4: want to hit I want to hit him Freed, Max Freed.

1165
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 4: It almost looks like he brings a different intensity that

1166
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 4: I don't always see out of Yankees' pitchers. You know,

1167
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,720
Speaker 4: you have the superstars, and you know they got rodin

1168
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 4: the year that he was the best available. They got

1169
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:37,959
Speaker 4: Garrett Cole his cashman's white whale. Max Freed is gonna

1170
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 4: usher in kind of the next era of Yankee starting

1171
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 4: pitching free agents. And he couldn't have been He couldn't

1172
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 4: have been more you know, well received the way he's

1173
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 4: been pitching. He also keeps the running game down like

1174
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 4: it's something like he's like full he's full service for

1175
00:54:56,960 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 4: the Yankees, and I think Garrett Cole, who this year.

1176
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 1: Let's slap. I mean, it's a perfect topic for slap.

1177
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:20,080
Speaker 1: Lance mccullors junior is back three and two thirds, four strikeouts,

1178
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: a few hits, nowhere runs. I mean, he was getting

1179
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,840
Speaker 1: a lot of crap for years from fans on socials.

1180
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: I get it. It's not fun, but he made it

1181
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: back aj which is incredible. I mean, it had been years,

1182
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: he hadn't pitched since what was it, the twenty twenty

1183
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: two Playoffs.

1184
00:55:35,680 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 2: Game three, Game three. Damn, he looked pretty good. He

1185
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 2: threw the ball pretty well, So yeah, good for you. Lance,

1186
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 2: welcome back. I know it's been a long road. We

1187
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 2: interviewed you last year in spring training and he said

1188
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,399
Speaker 2: he was getting close and it never happened. But I'm

1189
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 2: glad he's back. It's a plus. It's a plus when

1190
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 2: guys get back after all the time that he missed.

1191
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 2: Guys that go through it injuries, it's one thing, but

1192
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 2: guys that go through injuries that stack on top of

1193
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 2: injuries on top of injuries, and you're almost back.

1194
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 3: He never really knew.

1195
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 4: He was like, I almost can't believe that I'm actually

1196
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 4: getting back out there because he got close sometimes to

1197
00:56:15,640 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 4: get to that next threshold and then something else set

1198
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,439
Speaker 4: him back. So that's awesome. He's got to be proud

1199
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 4: of himself for making it back through all of that.

1200
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, credit to Lance. Hopefully we can get him on

1201
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 1: the show soon. Russ Stripling announced his retirement, someone who's

Speaker 4: That's that's tough. You're gonna have to really do something.

1221
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 4: He made a lot of money, but he also.

1222
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 3: Broke in late.

1223
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,280

1224
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,200
