1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,639
Speaker 1: I think this is a good move for Joe y'all.

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: If he's done hitting with his hittings are and if

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: you got an armed to go be a pitcher, why

4
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: not try it out. I would if I would have

5
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: done it, but I'm glad I could hit because I

6
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: would have hated it.

7
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

8
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 3: Charge about.

9
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: All right, let's charge the damn mound and talk about

10
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: real regular season baseball games that count. The Tokyo Series

11
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 2: is coming up. Let's preview it right now. Okay, I

12
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: am very excited for this. AJ You're gonna lead us

13
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: off because you are calling these games, So tell us

14
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 2: what we need to know about both games. But really,

15
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: let's start with Yamamoto on the mound for the defending

16
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: champion World Series, defending champion Dodgers going up against Showa Immenaga.

17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: What do you want to know. Mokie Benz is out.

18
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: Rookie Benz is sick. He got that sicky sick, so

19
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: he's out. So that's a big blow. Start with that.

20
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: But also I think people most people don't realize im

21
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: monogavers Yamamoto, two Japanese born pitchers starting for the first

22
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: time on opening day and then starting in Japan it's

23
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: an incredible story. It's going to be an incredible moment,

24
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: and I think people shouldn't sleep on what a historic

25
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: moment this is for baseball. Everyone says, hey, we want

26
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: to grow this game globally. Guess what this morning or

27
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, or whatever you want to call it, wherever

28
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: you're based, it's going to be a historic moment for

29
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: Major League baseball and especially Japanese born players. Think about

30
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: the size of the Japanese influence with started kind of

31
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: with each Row. I know there were some others before him,

32
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: but each Row is the first star. And now you

33
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: look at what show Hay brings every day. Then you

34
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: look at him Monaga, what he did, Yomoto, Broki Sazaki's

35
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: pitching tomorrow, say a Suzuki. I mean, listen, there's five

36
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: legit major league players in this game that mean a

37
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: lot to their team. And if Japanese fans are going

38
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: to show out, it's going to be a show.

39
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: You said show a lot of times, Cam, So while

40
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: you talk about this game, we can show.

41
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: That because show's going to go deep. You can book it.

42
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: Show Hay is going to go deep because what he.

43
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: Does my house on it.

44
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 4: I'm with AJ going deep. For sure, he has a

45
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 4: flare from the dramatic. But to add to AJ's point two,

46
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: you know, I think what gets overshadowed at time is

47
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 4: how good in Monaga was last year.

48
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 3: I mean he was dominant, he was a star for

49
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 3: the Cubs.

50
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 4: And what he's able to do, Like you said those

51
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 4: two starting opening day, this is what we wanted our game.

52
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: Want to grow our game, and it's growing in a

53
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: fast way, and this is just the beginning.

54
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: What AJ said, there's more dominant players continue to come

55
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: over and show their dominance in our league.

56
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: So it's it's fun to watch.

57
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: It was a good quote from Will Smith. He was like,

58
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: now I'm surprised that it took two abs for Otany

59
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: to Homer. You know, they were playing exhibition games against

60
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: your Muri Giants. But in all seriousness, AJ, on the

61
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: strategy side, this is a real game. The Cubs might

62
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: make or miss the playoffs by a game or two

63
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: they need to win. Okay, are you avoiding show Hey

64
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: based on who he is and where he is? Not

65
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: completely avoiding him? But isn't he the guy you're circling

66
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: and being very careful against, because already he is a

67
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: tip whatever three hitter on the planet. Dude, he's going,

68
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: like you guys said, he's going to go off in

69
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 2: this game if you give him pitches to hit. So

70
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: that's not my problem. If I'm Craig Council in the cups.

71
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm I just got to look at the lineup construction

72
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: and see who's hitting bind him, and he's Freddie hitting

73
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: behind him? Who's going to hit behind him? I mean, listen,

74
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: they ain't like the Dodgers go out. Yeah, but do

75
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: they bounce Tajo? Do they bounce excuse me? Do they

76
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: bounced Taale there? Do they put Will Smith there? Do

77
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: they put Freddie behind? Show?

78
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 5: Hey?

79
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Do they who do they put there? Do they put

80
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: a you know, I don't know who they're going to

81
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: put there. That's the key for me. Yeah, So am I careful, Yes,

82
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: one hundred percent. But at the same time, listen, em

83
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: Andague is going to say, hey, I can punch this

84
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: dude out with my high fastball combo that I have

85
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: with my slider. He's done it before, so I think

86
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: Shoda is going to go after him, but he's going

87
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: to be careful in a big situation. Also, let's not

88
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: forget you know, you can't always early in these years.

89
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: You can't say, all right, well the starter's going to

90
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: go five, six, seven innings because they're not built up

91
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: that much. So in a big game like this, especially

92
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: look for this starting pitchers early in the year, they

93
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: lose their stamina, especially their first one or two starts,

94
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: because they're adrenaline is just rushing. Imagine Emmenagua pitching back

95
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: in Japan, Yamamoto pitching back in Japan. In these games,

96
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: their adrenaline is going to be through the roof. So

97
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: a lot of times they have a little bit of

98
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: a crash, So they might go an inning or two

99
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: really great, that adrenaline comes back down to normal. There's

100
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: usually a little bit of a crash. That's when they

101
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: give up some runs. So there used to be an

102
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: old saying that we used to have. We love Mark

103
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: Burley on opening Day, Why because everybody wants to get

104
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: off to a fast star hit homers, hit homers. Early's

105
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: going eighty two, eighty four, right, rollover, rollover, rollover. The

106
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: slower the guy throws an opening day usually the better

107
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: they are.

108
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember last year Yamamoto in South Korea was

109
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: well frazzled. It was also his major league debut, but

110
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 2: just all things to keep in mind and rested bullpens

111
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: obviously both ways, like, you don't have to worry after

112
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: these two games. You get some time off before they

113
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: play regular season games again. They get a week and change,

114
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: so a lot more we'll do with the two Okio series.

115
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: And lastly, yeah, Mookie Bets apparently lost about fifteen pounds.

116
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 2: They're worried that he could get hurt by rushing back

117
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: too quickly, so he's been pretty sick. He might even

118
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: fly home and not be there for the games. Spreading rumors. Okay,

119
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: so let's continue the Raphael Devers saga. It's been going

120
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: on all off season, so the off seat or the

121
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: spring training, sorry off spring training. Spring training started with

122
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: Devers saying no, I'm not moving off third. Then we

123
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: just recently had him say that he would do what

124
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: the team wants him to do. In between that, we

125
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: did get this little rumor out there that he even

126
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: thought about asking for a trade. And then Lumer Looney

127
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: wanted to clarify things, but he said, I didn't say

128
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: Devers was over it. Yes, he's pissed he lost his job.

129
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: I'm saying he considered to ask for a trade, and

130
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: that's getting blown out of proportion. Soon the headline will

131
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: be Devers asks for trade. It's come the way people

132
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: are talking about it now. In fairness, once you throw

133
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 2: even an iota of a thought in your brain ham

134
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 2: of a player thinking about moving on, I think the

135
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: general public and fans of sports have the right to

136
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: be like, WHOA, this is big, even if he didn't

137
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: formally send a request in if it's true that he

138
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: even thought about leaving Boston. Because of this, we are

139
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: allowed to talk about this topic. Don't act like, oh, oh,

140
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: you're blowing this up. Like to me, it was a

141
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: level of pissed off that I think is worth scrutinizing

142
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 2: and dissecting.

143
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it was a level of pissed off,

144
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: a level of I think, an element of surprise, so

145
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 4: to speak. I think even when we looked at this move, right,

146
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 4: where was Alex Regman going to sign? It almost struck

147
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 4: me as if, regardless of if it was Boston or

148
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 4: not roth Field, Devers was kind of taken back from it.

149
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 4: Right if he does come here all of a sudden,

150
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 4: now I'm a first base DH or I'm losing playing

151
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 4: time at a spot that I've played my whole entire life.

152
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 4: So I think it's it's definitely a conversation, right, because

153
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 4: at the end of the day too, if your front

154
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 4: office also what you don't want to happening is Rafael

155
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: never is showing up, you know, in spite or pissed

156
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 4: off or showing up this gruntle, right, because.

157
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: That affects your clubhouse also too, Right.

158
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 4: The chemistry, the energy that you you bring into that building, it.

159
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 3: Rubs off on people.

160
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 4: You know, I had a coach tell me one time,

161
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 4: Alonzo Powell, you tell me when I was just saying,

162
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 4: they go, hey, man, I don't care how.

163
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 3: You feel in that day. You're a guy that you

164
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 3: affect other people in that clubhouse.

165
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 4: So if you're in a pissy mood, if you're in

166
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: a crappy mood, you may affect two or three people

167
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: that we need to win that day. So you you know,

168
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 4: this is a conversation that has to be had. Like

169
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: you said, even if it was a thought in his

170
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: mind that you know, I don't want to be here,

171
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 4: this is what they're going to me. It's a conversation

172
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: and it creates an atmosphere that you definitely want to

173
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 4: get ahead of you're the Boston Red Sox.

174
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: My problem is Liver Maloney in this situation. What is

175
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: m He came out and said he was mad. I mean,

176
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: I get it, but you know, Lou's like, oh, he

177
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: didn't say, you know, I considered you know, whatever he said.

178
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: I didn't say it was this or that. But I

179
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: mean Devers came out was mad. He admitted it. I

180
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: mean he was. He said what he said because he

181
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: was mad about the way he was handled. I don't know,

182
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: I don't know why lum Malone's trying to like speak

183
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: for Raffie Devers. Let's like, let's let Raffie Devers speak

184
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: for himself here. And he did, and now he's changed

185
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: his tune and said listen, I'll do whatever I need

186
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: to do to help the team win. So I just

187
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: this is this seems like it's like lum Maroloni. I

188
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: know he's a radio guy and we've had Lou on.

189
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: I like Lou and I respect Lou, but it seems

190
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: like he's the guy trying because he does do a

191
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: radio show a lot in Boston, So how do you

192
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: try to get people to tune in and argue with

193
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: you on a radio show. You say things that people

194
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: are like, wait, that's not exactly what he meant, or

195
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: he didn't mean this. Tune into w E I to

196
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: see what I really mean. That's that's what this was

197
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: to me.

198
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: Kratz.

199
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: What time is it time to stop overpaying for wireless

200
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: with these bogus fees and quote free perks that actually

201
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: cost more in the long run. You know what I'm saying.

202
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: What he's saying is it's to switch to Mintmobile with

Speaker 2: All right, here we are. Paul Skeins is starting Opening Day.

219
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 2: And did you guys see the video? They kind of

220
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: did it as if he was getting called up to

221
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 2: the sh show, bringing him in, sitting them down at

222
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: the desk, the whole deal, which is great, But it

223
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: was the news that we all could have told you

224
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: as long as he was healthy. What September of twenty

225
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 2: twenty four, we could have said, hey.

226
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: Day when he was draft wrote this right exactly in

227
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: twenty three. Yeah, he's going to start an opening day.

228
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: We have the clip, let's show it.

229
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

230
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 6: I mean the cool thing is, you know he sent

231
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 6: me a text when the video came out today and

232
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 6: he said, you know, it's gonna be tough next year

233
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 6: when you're when you're starting day two. So that's that's

234
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 6: what we need. That's what we have with Jared and

235
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 6: Mitch and you know, Bailey and Heen.

236
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 2: And that was him talking to some local Pittsburgh media

237
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: about Bubba Chandler texting him that I'm next there. It

238
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: is a serious confidence boost for the rotation with another

239
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: big dude coming, and obviously they'll need it because they

240
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 2: didn't really participate in the off season. But yeah, you

241
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: had some jokes on social scam with people being like,

242
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: you know that that's like telling Lebron, hey, you're in

243
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: the starting lineup tomorrow.

244
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

245
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess, right, Pittsburgh trying to create some

246
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 4: type of.

247
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 3: Energy around camp, right.

248
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 4: I think a lot of Pittsburgh fans, honestly, probably a

249
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 4: little disappointed in the.

250
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 3: Lack of moves this year.

251
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 4: So I think it's just one of those things you're

252
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 4: trying to create a storyline that we already know was

253
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 4: going to happen. I mean, if you didn't have Paul skin,

254
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 4: if you didn't have Paul Skins open, you know, the

255
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 4: season up, who.

256
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 3: Would that be?

257
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: I mean, the headlines will be ridiculous, right talking about

258
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 4: why would you not? So, I don't know, it's really

259
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 4: not much to talk about. Like you said, it's kind

260
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 4: of the writing has been on the wall for years.

261
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 4: We know that at this point Paul Skins is one

262
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 4: of the best arms in our league. Hell, at this point,

263
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 4: he might you know, take that role as the best

264
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 4: picture in the game. He has that type of stuff.

265
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: So Tom will tail. But we all we all knew

266
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 4: what was gonna happen. When you talk about who's the

267
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 4: opening day starter for the Pittsburgh Pirates, it could only

268
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 4: be one guy.

269
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: Only would have been funny and viral if they brought

270
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: him in and they were like, so you didn't learn

271
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: to kick change this off season, We're going with Jared Jones.

272
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: That would have been great and pranked the crap out

273
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: of him.

274
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would have been That would have been better.

275
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: As we had Bubba Chandler on. We should have had

276
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: They should have had Bubba in there in on it

277
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: and been like, hey, Paul, sorry, we're giving it to him,

278
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: and had Bubba Chandler. And then.

279
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: We've got Paul Sport joining us right now, fangrafts writer.

280
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 2: We're gonna cover some fantasy baseball, which we don't get

281
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: to enough in my mind. And also he's the content

282
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: designer for Out of the Park Baseball game just released

283
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: on Friday. We'll get to that as well. Paul. Great

284
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: to have you on and how was it for you

285
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 2: to put together your starting pitching rankings, specifically Fantasy baseball

286
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 2: wise this year, did you really feel like you had

287
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 2: to like tug and pull on a lot of decisions

288
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: or felt like you were in a good spot?

289
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 5: Gentleally, great to speak with you. I really appreciate y'all

290
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 5: having me on. Yeah, I mean the pitching rankings. I

291
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 5: could spend so much time on them. You know, they're

292
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 5: always like a snapshot. I really doing this process for

293
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 5: the last several years. I kind of get how prospect

294
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 5: folks are, you know, because they always say, hey, this

295
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 5: is a snapshot in time. It can change if you

296
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 5: asked me an hour later, I might feel differently, not

297
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 5: because the guy's pitch, but because you see a little

298
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 5: bit more data on things, and things move, And then

299
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 5: of course we start spring and all the injuries start coming.

300
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 5: So I'm consistently updating them. So if you go to fangrabs,

301
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 5: you'll see that there's been many updates. There'll be a

302
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 5: few this week with two more big weekends of fantasy

303
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 5: drafts coming. But I feel pretty good about where we're

304
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 5: at as the pool is. But again, those small little

305
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 5: changes that you can make. The top is secured though,

306
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 5: and obviously I'm wearing my Tigers hat here because we

307
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 5: know who the top guy is, Trek Scougble, but Paul

308
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 5: Skeins is right there, and a Pauls with a great

309
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 5: mustache is somebody I'm gonna have some favoritism toward, you know,

310
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 5: just by default there with being a Pauls myself with

311
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 5: a mediocre mustache. And then of course Wheeler. Wheeler might

312
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 5: actually be a bit underrated right now, because when you're

313
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 5: looking at fantasy aces, you want somebody who's got that

314
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 5: track record, and let's be honest, neither Schooble nor Skeens

315
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 5: has a lengthy track record. Schooble has done some things

316
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 5: in the past to have some confidence in, but obviously

317
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 5: Skeens is a sophomore. Meanwhile, Wheeler, while a bit older,

318
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 5: has been doing it for a long time, so he's

319
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 5: almost a bit underrated at this juncture. And then you

320
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 5: get back into the risky but high upside with Garrett

321
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 5: Crochet and Jacob de Grom there for different reasons, young

322
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 5: and old, but injury and lack of recent innings for

323
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 5: de Grom and overall innings for Crochet. So it's a

324
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 5: really interesting pool at the top this year, and I

325
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 5: think it's had some people maybe pushing pitching down a

326
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 5: little bit and going for hitters in those first few

327
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 5: rounds and then starting to tackle the pitching.

328
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm gonna I'm gonna go back on you on

329
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: this because what you said at the end is the

330
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: most important thing. Help, right, Okay, Yes, kerk Scoobel was healthy.

331
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: Paul Schames has never pitched thirty starts in a year,

332
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: so that's that worries me. But then Wheeler, yes, has

333
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: done it for years and years, including the postseason. My

334
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: problem is you get the crochet last year he was

335
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: so limited an innings it's it's hard for me to

336
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: want to And then to Grom, we don't know what

337
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: you're getting out of him. Then you have Sale, who

338
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: I love to death. But again one healthy year in

339
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: the last like five years. Right, So to me, Burns, Gilbert,

340
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: Wheeler and scoobal or this should be the top four

341
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 1: if we're just counting on health, because he can't always

342
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, we always say the best ability is availability.

343
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: To me, this is obviously a everything goes right scenario.

344
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: George Kirby's on that list. He's already injured, right so

345
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: to me, he got.

346
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 5: Moved down though too I know that did get ranked

347
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 5: down a little bit for his current health.

348
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: So obviously this is everything goes perfectly, everyone stays healthy

349
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: and makes thirty starts less.

350
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, because you're a thousand percent right about best ability

351
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 5: is availability. The problem is is we're not super precise

352
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 5: in determining who's going to get hurt. To me, if

353
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 5: you're pitching, you're at severe risk of getting hurt. So

354
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 5: while Wheeler is safer, I don't think I think that's

355
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 5: a false sense of security there that he's going to

356
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 5: pitch a two hundred innings this year versus somebody even

357
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 5: like de Gram who hasn't reached over one hundred in

358
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 5: the last four or five seasons. Right, So I have

359
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 5: like a very small split between the safety there just

360
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 5: because pitching. That's just the way pitching is.

361
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: Right.

362
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 5: We're seeing guys fall every day lately, So give me

363
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 5: the most talented guys and I will roll the dice

364
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 5: on injury.

365
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm not unique there.

366
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 5: I'm not alone, but I am in the minority as

367
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 5: far as people who draft. I understand moving up Burns logan, Gilbert,

368
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 5: They've got the better track records. I just don't think

369
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 5: that that safety in the track record is super bankable

370
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 5: because if you're throwing pitches every five days, you are

371
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 5: a massive, massive injury risk. Regardless of how healthy you've

372
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 5: been in the past, it cannot be guaranteed for the future.

373
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 5: So I'll take the best guys on a parenting basis

374
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 5: and kind of let the chips.

375
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 7: Fall where they may health wives, Paul, that was great

376
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 7: from a position player standpoint, boring, let's talk about Let's

377
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 7: talk position players.

378
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: Does not talk pitchers anymore. Let's talk position players.

379
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 4: Who in your eyes, right, we saw Jackson Merrill really

380
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 4: outplay his adp more to the last year.

381
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: Who in this year's season is You're Jackson Merrill.

382
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 4: Who's the guy, the young guy that we may not

383
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 4: be focused on, but you say this guy is going

384
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 4: to have a big year for fantasy baseball.

385
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 3: Well, I have a.

386
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 5: Hard time not gravitating toward O'Neal Cruz. You know he's

387
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 5: big in the fantasy community as well. You know you

388
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 5: have Ellie Da La Cruz and oneo Cruz. Ellie did it,

389
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 5: so he's up there, He's in the first round. Onneo

390
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 5: Cruz is still a pretty expensive guy. He goes in

391
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 5: the top four or five rounds. But we haven't fully

392
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 5: seen it yet. Twenty twenty season move to center field,

393
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 5: has all the skills in the world. He's a huge

394
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 5: expector right that Pittsburgh team. I really think they should

395
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 5: have gone out and gotten at least another bat or

396
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 5: two to really help themselves. But O'Neil Cruz could be

397
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 5: that game changer. If he goes thirty thirty this year,

398
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 5: watch out, things could go absolutely crazy. And then a

399
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 5: couple guys who have not debuted yet that I've got

400
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 5: my eyes on, Matt Shaw for the Cubs and Cam

401
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 5: Smith for the Astros, two guys who were just drafted

402
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 5: but have zipped up the rankings and zipped through the organizations,

403
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 5: and they're gonna break camp for both their teams. Shaw

404
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 5: already did, he went, you know, he went, played to

405
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 5: Tokyo there and is going to play in the Tokyo

406
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 5: Games this week. Cam Smith is right there on the CUSP,

407
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 5: but it's looking like he's gonna break camp for the Astros.

408
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 5: He's actually a former Cub.

409
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 2: He was part of the Kyle Tucker Deals.

410
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 5: That tells you what the Cubs are doing with their

411
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 5: draft and development ability. So I'm really excited about both

412
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 5: Shaw and Cam Smith, and they're probably better comparisons for

413
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 5: the Jackson Merrill right, because we didn't really know what

414
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 5: to do with Jackson Merril in the fantasy community last

415
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 5: year we saw that he was maybe gonna get the job,

416
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 5: and again, like Shaw, he went to Tokyo, which was

417
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 5: kind of a big indicator that they're in on him.

418
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 5: But he was playing a new position. Remember he shifted

419
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 5: from short to center, and then Boom had an amazing season.

420
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 5: So Shaw's probably the perfect parallel. But again I'll throw

421
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 5: in Cam Smith, who's angling for a job there in Houston,

422
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 5: who I really really like as well.

423
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: Well, Paul, I'm going to reject Cam's claim and bring

424
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: us back to pitching again. One other component I wanted

425
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: to get to, which is the pitchers that are one

426
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 2: step away from acehood. You covered this will show this

427
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: as you run through it for us what he got.

428
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 5: So these are the guys that are right there on

429
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 5: the cusp. They've in some cases have even shown it before,

430
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 5: but they have a lingering concern Cole Reagan's probably track record.

431
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 5: Now again you could counter me and say, how does

432
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 5: Cole Reagan's be one step for me? So, but Garrett

433
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 5: Crochet isn't, and I don't have a great answer for

434
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 5: that other than I think the super upside that we

435
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 5: saw from Crochet last year was a bit higher. He's

436
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 5: also going to the Red Sox, which are just a

437
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 5: better team than the Royals right now. I think the

438
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 5: Royals are confident, capable team, but I do think the

439
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 5: Red Sox are a bit better, So that's their little

440
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 5: split there. Michael King's transition from reliever to starter has

441
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 5: been incredible and I really love everything he's doing out

442
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 5: in San Diego. Max Freed, he's done right, like this

443
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 5: is the guy. The only thing we need is if

444
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 5: you could turn off injuries. If Rob Manfred you know

445
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 5: you can do in video games. I don't know why

446
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 5: Rob Manfred can't just turn off injuries in real baseball

447
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 5: for us, because if Max Freed could be guaranteed one

448
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 5: hundred and eighty plus innings every year, I think I'd

449
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 5: be ranking him top ten on a parenting basis. He

450
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 5: is one of the best pitchers out there now. The

451
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 5: tough part is are they going to start him every

452
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 5: day in New York Because they lose a new pitcher

453
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 5: every day it seems like, which is really unfortunate for

454
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 5: the Yankees, although no one's feeling bad for Yankees fans,

455
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 5: let's be honest. Tanner Biby had a great sophomore campaign

456
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 5: last year. He was really the only starter outside of

457
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 5: Ben Lively, who kind of surprised that was delivering for Cleveland.

458
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 5: They had to lean on that bullpen so much. But

459
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 5: they're looking for Biby and youngster Gavin Williams to maybe

460
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 5: take some pressure off of that bullpen. And then I

461
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 5: love the Minnesota guys Bailey Over, Pablo Lopez, Joe Ryan,

462
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 5: They're all three very similar. I have both Over and

463
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 5: Ryan here. If either of them can cut into their homers,

464
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 5: they've got sky high capability. Of course, you can see

465
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 5: I had to move Grayson Rodriguez down with his injury,

466
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 5: but he's already working his way back and if we

467
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 5: could ever get health from him, he still has ace upside.

468
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 5: To me, Shane McClanahan has shown the flashes of the

469
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 5: ace upside. We've heard from Tampa Bay that they're going

470
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 5: to give him about one hundred and fifty innings, and

471
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 5: in today's game, especially for fantasy purposes, if you can

472
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 5: get to about one hundred and fifty that's enough to

473
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 5: be a superstar, and then showed to Imanaga showed a

474
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 5: lot last year. I do worry about his second half

475
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 5: homers and how that's going to play in a full season,

476
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 5: but I cannot deny the skills that showed to Ima.

477
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 2: Naga showed.

478
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: Wow. I just there's so many injuries concerns. I can't

479
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: but I love it because I don't play fantasy, so

480
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: I understand one hundred and fifty innings is what you

481
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: guys look for. It still amazes me all right. Out

482
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: of the Park Baseball launched recently. What should we be

483
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 1: looking for? What's new? What are we looking for? And

484
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: if I get this when I download this game, what

485
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: am I looking for? As far as card wall player wise,

486
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: what's the big hit that I need to give?

487
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 5: So there's a lot of different ways to play. It's

488
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 5: called Perfect Team. If you play Out of the Park Baseball,

489
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 5: maybe you've played the Bass game before, where you do

490
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 5: the simulator, you know, against the computer. Our Perfect Team

491
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 5: mode is where you play against other players and it's

492
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 5: a card collecting game, which you've probably seen a lot of.

493
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 5: If you're a sports video game player, you know they're

494
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 5: on MLB the show they're not mad and all that,

495
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 5: where you're collecting real life player cards, putting your team

496
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 5: together and playing against others. The difference here in OTP

497
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 5: versus those other games that you're not getting on a

498
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 5: controller and playing. It's all about the mental so you know,

499
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 5: it's kind of the moneyball version of it. You're the

500
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 5: GM and manager more than you are the actual player.

501
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 5: So you put your team together, and we have leagues

502
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 5: that run all week, so Monday through Saturday, each day

503
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 5: is a month of the season, and you just go through.

504
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 5: You play thirty games, you know, however many games there are.

505
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 5: Sometimes you got some off days whenever, and then Sunday

506
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 5: is the playoffs. So it plays like a real regular season.

507
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 5: You put your team together and you're trying to win

508
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 5: a World Series. You can collect cards from today. You know,

509
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 5: we have all the players who are going to be

510
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 5: in Major League Baseball this year, even the guys who

511
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 5: are hurt. So you can get a Garrett Cole card

512
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 5: and virtually play with him this year, even though he's hurt.

513
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 5: All the way back throughout history, Negro leagues, historical players,

514
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 5: and this year our guy Rich Grisham got one of

515
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 5: the greatest contracts possible. He secured the rights to Honess Wagner.

516
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 5: So our number one card right now, our top card

517
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 5: to chase is the T two O six Tobacco card,

518
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 5: the most famous baseball the most famous sports card in history.

519
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 5: We have it in our game, and you can work

520
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 5: your way toward collecting that, putting him on your team.

521
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 5: And he is the best player we've got right now.

522
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 5: So there's a lot of things to do in Perfect

523
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 5: Team with collecting your team, but that is the main

524
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 5: target right now that everyone's working their way toward is

525
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 5: getting themselves a honest Wagner.

526
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a beauty. That is a digital beauty

527
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: right there. Well, Paul, appreciate the insight, Thank you for

573
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 2: you're out of this one since you're calling the game,

574
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 2: but we'll talk to Cam about the Tokyo series Game one.

575
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: It's Yamamoto on the mound against Imanaga. I'll go first, Cam,

576
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 2: since I saw your pick and it's gonna take you

577
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: a second. We only have two minutes, so for me,

578
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 2: nice and simple laying down one oh five to win

579
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 2: one hundred seas Suzuki, I need two or more of

580
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 2: the following combined hits runs RBI. So, for example, if

581
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 2: I get an RBI double, I'm good to go. Okay,

582
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: if he hits a single and then scores, I'm good

583
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: to go. I think Sea Suzuki is gonna have a

584
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 2: huge year. I love him getting mostly DH time, and

585
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 2: of course he is playing in Japan, so I think

586
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 2: he'll thrive and be the start for the Cubs. Now,

587
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: what do you have cooked up for us cam O.

588
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 4: Well, if you follow me, last year, I was pretty

589
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 4: much horrible at making the picks. But this year I'm

590
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 4: going out from the jump, going out hot. Parlay three

591
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 4: leg give me over seven and a half on the

592
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 4: total Cubs money line at Amanaga four and a half.

593
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 4: K's let's get that a plus set five to seventy five.

594
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 3: Let's get into the money early on this season. Let's

595
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 3: go ahead, a good start.

596
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, until you're throwing down a hondo to win five

597
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 2: to seventy.

598
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 3: Five, right right now?

599
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: Okay, see, we'll see. I like the Cubs play too

600
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 2: for an upset in Game one. I think showeda Naga

601
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 2: will be good. And you know, I think the Cubs,

602
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 2: I mean, both teams obviously are going to manage to

603
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: try to win these games, but the Cubs are definitely

604
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: going to get aggressive with their bullpen. It is a

605
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 2: much better bullpen this year. Dodgers are really damn good.

606
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,880
Speaker 2: We know that, but no MOOKI all right, March Madness

Speaker 2: By the way, Tiger's camp today, Twins camp tomorrow, Red

620
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 2: Sox camp on Wednesday, Braves camp on Thursday. Cam running

621
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: through those camps and then that is it normal show

622
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 2: on Friday and we'll get ready for the regular season. Also,

623
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: I want to point this out. The next two mornings,

624
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 2: Cam You're good, don't worry. You get to sleep an

625
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 2: extra I don't know hour or two because you're hustling

626
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 2: early for these camps. But I'll be up at five

627
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 2: in the morning the next two days to watch a

628
00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 2: baseball game. I think technically what it starts at six? AJ? Yeah, sorry,

629
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: already get ready for my day, breakfast, coffee, the whole thing,

630
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: and then I'm going to be kicking back watching Persiansky

631
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 2: on the call with Benetti for one game, I mean

632
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: for the other it's on Fox, and then what did

633
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 2: I mess that up?

634
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: No, you crushed it before you're crushing it.

635
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: And then a postgame show after each game there you

636
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 2: go postgame reactions from FT just like we do in

637
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and we did this last year for the

638
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: games in South Korea, live reactions after Dodgers Cubs that

639
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: includes special guests Max Mounsey after game one on Tuesday.

640
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: I think, AJ, you might be with us for one

641
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: of those games and then krats for the other one.

642
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: Does that sound right?

643
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: I believe I'm on tomorrow.

644
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, so you me and Max Monsey tomorrow on Wednesday.

645
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: I have Wednesday. I hate to say this, but I

646
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,479
Speaker 1: have another obligation for my Fox contract, I have to

647
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: do a Fox show after game two on Wednesdays.

648
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:00,959
Speaker 2: So there you go.

649
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: I'll be there. I'll be there tomorrow though.

650
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: And we'll hear your voice plenty the next two mornings, bright.

651
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: And early if you're awake, gets breakfast with me.

652
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, We'll be there and they're real games. That's right,

653
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: all right, let's try and figure out these stats. Joey

654
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: Gallo as a hitter versus upcoming Joey Gallo as a

655
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 2: pitcher if he makes it. So apparently he told the

656
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 2: White Sox he was done. It wasn't working out for

657
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: him in camp. It's the worst team in baseball, and

658
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: he's like, all right, I've had a cannon for an arm.

659
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,719
Speaker 2: He's gonna try it out. He first tweeted it's been

660
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: fun outfield with highlights and people are like he's retiring,

661
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: and then he's like, nah, I'm coming back as a pitcher.

662
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 2: So we've seen others try to do this. We see

663
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: others doing this right now. I'm saying position players who

664
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 2: made it to the bigs. Anthony Gos has had some time.

665
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: Charlie Culberson tried last year. Tyler Naquins trying right now.

666
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: So it's been done, but not much. Do you think

667
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 2: Joey Gallo can make it as a pitcher in the

668
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 2: big leagues.

669
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: Joey Gallo the pitcher would strike out Joey Gallo the hitter.

670
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: I know that, But do you mean that's rude?

671
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: You're my wrong, I'm kidding swing and missing his game, You're.

672
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: Not right now, Listen, if he works out for him,

673
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: this guy really, you know, this is what he wants

674
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: to do. I mean, I saw when I was at

675
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: White Sox camp, I saw Sergio Santos, who's the trip

676
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: a manager is going to be a big league coach

677
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: at some point. I was there when they transitioned him.

678
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: I was there when they switched him over. I was

679
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: on the field. They were like, you need to watch

680
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: this dude throw. He was in campus a third baseman.

681
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: He couldn't hit, and he couldn't feel, And they're like,

682
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 1: but this dude's got a great army. He went on

683
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:36,760
Speaker 1: a pitch in the big leagues for a long time.

684
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: Now because of that, he knows how to play, he

685
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: knows how to talk to hitters, and he knows how

686
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: to talk to pictures. So I think this is a

687
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: good move for Joey Gallop. He's done hitting us and

688
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: hitting is hard, and if you got an arm to

689
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: go be a pitcher, why not try it out. I

690
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: would if I would have done it, but I'm glad

691
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: I could hit because I would have.

692
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 2: Hated injury suck. We got some tough ones. Let's start

693
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: with Royce Lewis. Strange left hamstring running out of ground

694
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: ball yesterday. Unlikely for opening Day. We're gonna be in

695
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 2: Twins camp tomorrow, right, is that smile? Yeah? M so

696
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: we probably we'll get some questions and answers on his status.

697
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 2: This is the thing, Cam, You'll be there. The Twins

698
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: have a few stars. They can't get them all on

699
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 2: the field at the same time. And you know they

700
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: didn't really do anything in the offseason. Royce Lewis is

701
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: a huge part of this lineup.

702
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, he has showed that he has superstar potential. He's

703
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 4: shown that he is a guy that has a flir

704
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 4: for the dramatic. When the time when when, when the

705
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 4: moment really needs him, He's been a guy that steps up.

706
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 3: But like you said, I think this has been a

707
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 3: frustrating part.

708
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 4: If you're a Minnesota Twins fan is you know, having

709
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 4: three year superstars not being able to be on the field.

710
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 3: You look at Buston just a year ago.

711
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 4: They tried to go the whole year out playing him

712
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 4: a center to try to keep him healthy. We know

713
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 4: Carlas Korea has battled his injury. So these are three pieces.

714
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 4: And then you talk about Royce Lewis, who was an

715
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 4: intricate piece of that lineup. Well, he's in that lineup.

716
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 4: Special things happens for the happens for the Twins. So

717
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 4: to see him down early, it's gonna be one of

718
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 4: those things where I'm sure they're not gonna rush him back,

719
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 4: right because you want to have him healthy as long

720
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 4: as possible, So they're gonna probably slow play this thing

721
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 4: to make sure they get the best version of Royce

722
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 4: Lewis when he is able to return.

723
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, it sucks. I mean, there's no other

724
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: way to put it. This sucks for the Twins. It

725
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: sucks for you know what, It sucks for more than

726
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: anything baseball because you know certain guys that are special,

727
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: like a Royce Lewis when he swings the bat or special,

728
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: and to lose him for an extended period of time. Again,

729
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: just sucks for baseball, man. I'm sorry, it just it

730
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: just it's not good. It's not good for the Twins

731
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: obviously first and foremost, but just not having his bat

732
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: and his energy because it's a smile on that energy

733
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: brings is special, man. So it sucks for him, it

734
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: sucks for the Twins, but it also sucks for baseball.

735
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's torn his ACL a couple of times. Remember

736
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 2: last year was game one of the season he had

737
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: the quad strain that kept him out for a while.

738
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 2: So you know, he's had these what are those soft

739
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 2: tissue injuries that are popping up for him, which is

740
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: never great. You know. It's it's the injuries where you're

741
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 2: running and all of a sudden, it's not a contact,

742
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: you know, it's not like he's running into a you know,

743
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: a wall or whatever. Although he did right for one

744
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: of those ACL injuries. I think he did when they

745
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: tried to put him in the outfield. So we'll see

746
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 2: what happens. Hopefully we get some news that it's not

747
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 2: too long for him. And then one more quick one

748
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 2: here the Rangers shutting down John Gray. They also had

749
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: to shut down Corey Bradford, so it looks like on

750
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,919
Speaker 2: the positive side, for the youngsters, Kumar Rocker and Jack

751
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 2: Ledder will step in and be part of the rotation

752
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 2: in the first week of the season. But obviously sucks

753
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 2: to take two hits here really quickly with these guys

754
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: just quick coming and forget me and right and and

755
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 2: Tyler may Molly they're checking out right now.

756
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, but Gray wasn't shut down because

757
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 1: of an injury. He got hit by a line drive

758
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: and broke his wrist, So it's a.

759
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 2: Little bit different, right. I mean, we can blame Evan

760
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 2: Grant for the way that he structured this tweet. He

761
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 2: said shut down at least six weeks. But yeah, he

762
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 2: fractured his wrist on a comebacker, So sucks for the Rangers.

763
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 2: Very competitive. Al West just wanted to let everyone know

764
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 2: about that, and we'll get more info on those guys

765
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 2: as well. And yeah, it looks like you could get

766
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 2: both the youngsters in the opening day rotation or the

767
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 2: opening week rotation for the Rangers. Does this affect anything

768
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: for you guys with the Rangers or you think they'll

769
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 2: be okay?

770
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: This is what we worried about from the get go.

771
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: Is it not did we not worry about them and

772
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: they're pitching injuries. I mean, this was their big thing and.

773
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 3: They have a history of it too.

774
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 4: Like you say, like this is just John Granted hit

775
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 4: by comebackers different, but he's had a history of injuries

776
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 4: and the groam and the list goes on. You know,

777
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 4: only thing I don't worry about Sky is that division.

778
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 4: I think that division still is very much up in

779
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 4: the air.

780
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 3: So I think with those.

781
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 4: Young guys, Kamar Rocker, he looked like he is back healthy,

782
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 4: got his stuff back. I think it'll be fun for

783
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 4: the Rangers fans to see what their young guys have

784
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 4: and and let them get their feet weet early in

785
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 4: the season. I think it'll be good for him. It

786
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 4: might be I don't know what, what do you think

787
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 4: he might be time for youth movement.

788
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 3: Go get some younger guys, some healthier guys.

789
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. We interviewed Kumar Rocker. I wouldn't want

790
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: to see him on the other side of a defensive

791
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: line from me.

792
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 2: I know, no, seriously, he's a big boy, but there's

793
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 2: still talent.

794
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 3: It didn't I'm mess drafting him too right. They dropped

795
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 3: that ball too well.

796
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 2: They drafted him essentially injury. He did get hurt. Yeah,

797
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 2: and then now he's back. He came back obviously last

798
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 2: year looked pretty good in his short stint. We were

799
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 2: in Rangers camp last week asking both about their chances

800
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 2: of making the team. I mean, I think there's almost

801
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 2: no doubt you'll see them both, So I'm excited. Yeah,

802
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 2: I mean, this is the time. They're not twenty one

803
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 2: twenty two year old pitchers either. I think they're both

804
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 2: in the twenty five range. Now it's time. It's time

805
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: to see what these guys have so good for the Rangers.

806
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 2: Let's slap good story here. Brandon Woodruff makes his return

807
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 2: to a spring training mount and he was so wired this.

808
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 2: Adamcalviy covers the team every day. He said, he what

809
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 2: he was so wired that when Corey Blazer went to

810
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 2: check for sticky stuff, would you just shook his hand.

811
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 2: He thought he was congratulating him for getting back on

812
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 2: a major league mound, and he said, for me, it

813
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: was a big deal talking about Woody. So that's pretty funny.

814
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 2: And I'm sure AJ would make fun of him after

815
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 2: the game. But he's such a nice guy. He's like, oh,

816
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 2: he's excited for me. Yeah, I'm back.

817
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: Man. Pard didn't even know who he was. Coort Blazer

818
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 1: didn't even know who he was. He was just going

819
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: up to shake his hand. Welcome back. Come on, I

820
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: love you, Woody. Well, come on, no, Pars, don't pay

821
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 1: that much attention.

822
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 4: Hey, that lets you know how much he missed the game, man,

823
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,720
Speaker 4: And when you're out, when you're injured, you really really

824
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 4: realize how much you appreciate and love the game. That's

825
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 4: one thing you do is it's a humbling moment when

826
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 4: you're away and you're watching all your boys play, because

827
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 4: AJ knows when you're hurt, nobody really cares about you.

828
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 3: But your family.

829
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 2: That's it.

830
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,959
Speaker 3: He means, what have you done for me lately?

831
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 4: So to see him back on the mound in that rotation,

832
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 4: looking at what the Brewers have been able to do

833
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 4: without him, I think this is a huge lift for

834
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 4: the organization and I'm happy to see him back out

835
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 4: there healthy.

836
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 3: It's awesome.

837
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 2: We have a minute left. But one other quick thing

838
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 2: I wanted to get to we didn't have time earlier.

839
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 2: You hat another twist and race stadium saga. They pitched

840
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: a plan to upgrade the chop and stay through twenty

841
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 2: thirty eight. Stop it, stop it.

842
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: Cut it out, please the team, please Bullo already.

843
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 2: Twenty years for resolution and you're just gonna upgrade the dungeon.

844
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 2: Stop it. That is not the spot. Very disappointing. So

845
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: hopefully that one gets smashed. I think it will. They

846
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 2: are gonna upgrade it for next year because there is

847
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 2: still at least going for a while. All right. Lastly,

848
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 2: spring training Tour continues the rest of the week. Like

849
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 2: we mentioned, Twins, Red Sox, and Braves, our last three

850
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: stops and double FT shows the next two days. Tuesday morning,

851
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 2: you can catch us live on YouTube right after the

852
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 2: Dodgers and the Cubs, which you'll listen to AJ on

853
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: the call for on Fox. Same thing on Wednesday. We'll

854
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 2: be live right after those games end, nice and early

855
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 2: for you, and then we'll have regular FT cam. Good stuff, man,

856
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: we'll see on the next stop.

857
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 3: Let's go.

858
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 2: All right, we're back, so we have an extra three

859
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: minutes on this. I mean they're pitching twenty thirty eight

860
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 2: to crazy, upgrade the trop and stay there longer. You're

861
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 2: gonna put more money into that and then figure it

862
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 2: out again in whatever what is that twelve this year's

863
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 2: from now, and also however long it takes to upgrade it.

864
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, stop stop. I think MLB is feeling this

865
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 2: way at this point too, including Commissioner Rob Manfred. The

866
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 2: one thing he's been pretty steadfast about is that he

867
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 2: wants to get expansion figured out before he essentially retires

868
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 2: from his job, which is four or five years away

869
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 2: whatever it is. They're not going to have the expansion

870
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 2: teams ready, but they want to have them announced and

871
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 2: cam Ian we covered it a lot last week. It's

872
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 2: just annoying at this point to the amount of times

873
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 2: that we've had the Rays and really the a's to

874
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 2: tease us with projects and then pull back on them

875
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 2: to try and get a better business deal. It's exhausting,

876
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 2: it really is.

877
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 3: And you know who is really exhausting for the fans.

878
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 4: You know, I think as a player going to the Trap,

879
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 4: going to Oakland, you're really starting to feel bad for

880
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 4: the fan base. People that really invent, that really have

881
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 4: a passion and a love for these teams, and they

882
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 4: continue to get the same products. So those are those

883
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 4: are the people don't really feel for and like you said,

884
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 4: this guy, they've got to find a way to do better.

885
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 2: AJ. You got a lot of love for your Orlando push,

886
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,919
Speaker 2: so we'll see. I mean, you're at least step closer.

887
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 3: Calling the raise for years.

888
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. But they gotta find a place to put the stadium. Yeah,

889
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: find a place to put a stadium. That's the big

890
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: problem with Tampa. I love Tampa, but they gotta find

891
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 1: a place. And they don't have any money. And by

892
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: the way, I want to say, it's st Patrick's day.

893
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: I got my green on and I can't see it.

894
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: Scott's colored blendeds hell, this is green. This is green. Patrick.

895
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 1: Nothing says you're irish like Prazinski. Okay, listen, nothing says

00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: you're irish.

897
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 2: Damn help me out here on the way out, gray

Speaker 2: with green underneath. No, is that green?

899
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: That's bad? That's bad.
