1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: You usually have to throw it on a guy in

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: a long term deal, so that would mean Lindor or

3
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: you're not going to give it the Soto just signed.

4
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you have to have a debate about it,

5
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: then I agree with themo. It's not where you're.

6
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: At all, right, So let's spend some time here on

7
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: a story that emerged in the past twenty four hours.

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: Always a hot topic. Should Pete Rose be in the

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame? Should he be banned from baseball?

10
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: Now?

11
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: Pete passed away late last year in September, and Commissioner

12
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: Manfred is considering removing him from MLB's and eligible list.

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: We saw the President Trump talk about pardoning him. But

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: Don Van Natta Junior, who represents Pete Rose, sent a

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 2: request in on January eighth and said, hey, he should

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: be taken off the ineligible list because it's a lifetime

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 2: ban and the ban is over, and the Commissioner of Baseball,

18
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: Rob Manfred, is considering it. They had a one hour

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: meeting December seventeenth, very busy schedule, but he did fit

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: them in for a one hour meeting, and you know,

21
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 2: obviously Pete Rose bet on baseball. Also, there's been a

22
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: lot of chatter on social media the last couple of

23
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: days saying, well, he only bet on his team to win,

24
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: but he didn't bet on his team to win every

25
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: single game. I just want to throw that out there.

26
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: So if you don't bet on your team to win

27
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: every single game, why don't you believe in them the

28
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: other games? Just start to do some math there on

29
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: why that part does not make a lot of sense.

30
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: But anyway, AJ he has passed away. The Hall of

31
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: Fame always tries to blame this on MLB, saying, oh, well,

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: he's on the ineligible list, So if MLB does take

33
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: him off of that list, then it is on the

34
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame because they created the Pete Rose rule

35
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 2: to keep him out of the Hall of Fame. So

36
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: what do you think is going to happen and what

37
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: should happen?

38
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: Well, if Pete Rose is what is eligible now, then

39
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: why is your list Joe Jackson not eligible now? Right?

40
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he passed away a long time ago, and

41
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: he's not in the Hall of Fame. He's still on

42
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: the ineligible list. I think this is just a lot

43
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: to do about nothing. I'm sorry you broke the cardinal rule.

44
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: Pete and God rest her soul. But he broke the

45
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: cardinal rule of baseball. You cannot bet on baseball games.

46
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: You cannot do. We saw what happened with Pat Hoiberg

47
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: the other a couple weeks ago, where he didn't even bet.

48
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: He just, you know, his friend used his account to

49
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: bet on baseball and he suspended. He just can't do

50
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: it. It sucks. He did it. He you know what, the

51
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: biggest thing is, it took him thirty years to him

52
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: and he did it. So you know, even if he

53
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: gets off the ineligibleist, will he get into the Hall

54
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: of Fame. I don't know how he go in the

55
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: Veterans Committee, the other eras committee, whatever it is. But

56
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: would people vote him in. That's a bigger question because

57
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: even if Baseball declares am eligible, the Hall of Fame

58
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: still has to vote him in. So I don't know.

59
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: But for me, listen, I've been hard to know on

60
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: this the whole time. People can get mad at me.

61
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: I don't really care. But to me, there's one rule

62
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: in baseball you can't break, and it is the gambling rule,

63
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: especially when you're gambling on your own team. I know

64
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: you only bet there's teams to win but still, I

65
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: mean he was the manager. He did maybe, Scott Eric

66
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: he might have had a little inside information on certain

67
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: games as the manager of a team.

68
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 4: And some guys are rested and not rested anyway. I mean,

69
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 4: I still say no, he's not allowed in. Should there

70
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 4: be something in the Hall of Fame to commemorate his

71
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 4: unbelievable achievements too, because it's the you know, it's more

72
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 4: than just the plaques and the people that are in there.

73
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 4: There's a lot of pieces of history. There's a lot

74
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 4: of things that mark the history in the game, and

75
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 4: I think he is one hundred percent part of that.

76
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 4: So do I think he'll ever get in? Was one

77
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: of your questions, Scott. Yes, I think he will get in.

78
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 4: I think they have I think they've played it out

79
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: and if the family really wants that, I don't know.

80
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: You know, there's a lot of people that have broken

81
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 4: rules that people feel like are more important or less

82
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 4: important than that, and they don't have any more repercussions.

83
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 4: This was a blanket statement, you will be banned for

84
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 4: life if you get caught betting on baseball. They put

85
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 4: it out there, never said you'll be banned for life,

86
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: You'll be banned from all awards if you get caught

87
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 4: and doing steroids. No, this is something it was put

88
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 4: out there, it's read to you ever spring training. So

89
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 4: I feel like it's kind of cut and dry.

90
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask you this cratzy. So if you

91
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: think Pete Rosegan in, why is Bonds none? And why

92
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: is Clemens not in? Why is whoever else will acquire Sosa?

93
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: All these guys that are ped linked, why are they

94
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: not in? Paul Marrow? Pal Marrow's three thousand, five hundred

95
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: dollars runs that was that's two autos. He's not in?

96
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: Why not? Now? Can the Veterans Committee vote him in?

97
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: So is what they did? Now I'm gonna I'm gonna

98
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: preface this was not against the rules of Major League

99
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: Baseball when they allegedly did things. Gambling is one hundred

100
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: percent against the rules, and you know you're out for life.

101
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: So which one's worse? So if Pete gets in, why

102
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: do we not let the other guys in? It Just

103
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: there's a slippery slope here. And if we're gonna if

104
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna say, well, oh well, gambling, he's not that bad.

105
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: He's dead now within Zemi, Bonds and Clemmens and and

106
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: uh maguire and Sosa and all these guys that did

107
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: all these great things. Are they going to get in

108
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: after they pass away? I think they should get in.

109
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 4: Now we weren't talking about the steroid guys, but I

110
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 4: think that to me, that's not even close. Like I

111
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 4: think they should have been in. And I think people

112
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 4: just want to be on their high horse and be like, no,

113
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 4: I didn't vote those guys in. You also didn't face

114
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 4: what they were facing. They weren't the only guys doing this.

115
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: They were not the only ones out on an island.

116
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, those guys are steroid guys. There are

117
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 4: steroid guys already in the Hall of Fame. You didn't

118
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 4: get it right. Put the best in. They are the best.

119
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 4: Don't have another wing, don't have any asterisks. That's that's

120
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 4: my soapbox for those guys. They should be in bar

121
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: non flat out, that's it.

122
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: What about what about the astros guys? Al Tuvey, he's

123
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: going to get three thousand hits more than likely. Yes,

124
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: Carlos Beltrom was on that team. He's more than likely

125
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: going to get in. Would you consider them cheating having

126
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: cheated because a lot of fans will say they cheated.

127
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 4: They cheated, yes, but we're talking about the Hall of Fame.

128
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 4: We're talking about dudes that created things like what pictures,

129
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 4: what pictures, put some substance on the balls and got

130
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 4: into got into the Hall of Fame like that in

131
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: In and In Carls Beltron and josel In.

132
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: Okay, you see what I'm saying. Like, it's just there's

133
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 1: so many different ways you can you can frame however

134
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: you want to frame it, right.

135
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 2: That's the thing, because the way you guys are talking,

136
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, well Pete Rose was one of the

137
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: best players ever, so he was what happened there when

138
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: he was a player, you know, And should he be

139
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: punished just for the manager's side.

140
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: Of greenies or greenies are banned then banned now they

141
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: weren't banned then, So should every player that took a

142
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: greenie not be allowed in the Hall of Fame? I

143
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: don't know.

144
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Royds, by the way, we're illegal. You can't use

145
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: them in the country back then too.

146
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: But I get what you're saying.

147
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of things you can't do,

148
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: but I mean the eighty six mets we're doing illegal stuff,

149
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: and you know, people cheer them all the time.

150
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: But this is why most people are like, yo, can

151
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: we just put them in? He clearly is near and

152
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: dear to so many people and such a big part

153
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: of childhood and love of the game and the whole thing.

154
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: And he definitely should not have been involved in baseball.

155
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: Once he was caught. That was accomplished. He is now

156
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 2: not alive, and it was called a lifetime ban, so

157
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: they're like, can they strip it? And the earliest this

158
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 2: was what I was saying before, that he could be

159
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: inducted as twenty twenty eight. According to Ken Rosenthal, who

160
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: was doing some check and buying the scenes, that's based

161
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: on the current process that the Hall of Fame has

162
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: because he would be considered part of the Classic Era

163
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: because his big biggest contributions to the sport game before

164
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty. So the Classic era players aren't scheduled to

165
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: be considered again until they do that voting process in

166
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: the winter of twenty twenty seven. That's a committee of

167
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: former players. Do you think they would vote him in

168
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 2: if he's taken off of the ineligible list, because it

169
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: seems like they're not into that that level or those

170
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: players from long ago that are on that board, it

171
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 2: seems like they're pretty anti steroid guys.

172
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: But would they be anti depends on who's At one

173
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: point it was like Jill Morgan and I don't know

174
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: who else. Jill Morgan was one of the outspoke, most

175
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: outspoken guys. I mean, he was a teammate with p

176
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: Rose for a long time. So I don't know, it's

177
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: it's it's it'll be interesting to see this. I just

178
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: don't know that there it will be enough pressure for

179
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: Rob Manfred to reinstate him to whatever level he has

180
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: the power to, because let's not forget it, he still

181
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: has to get voted into the Hall of Fame. It's

182
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: not like, oh, he automatically goes into the Hall of

183
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: Fame if Rob Manfred comes out and changes this. But

184
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: if he changes this and you got to get shoeless

185
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: show but in the Hall of Fame, also.

186
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: Should we just say screw it and just open up

187
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: the floodgates and let everyone in. I'm not even giving

188
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: my opinion here because the more that time moves on,

189
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 2: the more I'm just like, whatever, let the people in.

190
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: If it's going to make everyone happy, and obviously we

191
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 2: have better rules in place, Like the game is modernized nowadays.

192
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: There's at least a better testing system. There's more strict

193
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: penalties if you do get caught with Ryd's say it

194
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 2: however you want. People are so misinformed on this topic.

195
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: We are so much better now in the past few

196
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: years at catching people doing shady things with betting than

197
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: we ever ever were for the first one hundred some

198
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: odd years of baseball because it's regulated, so they can

199
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: catch people, even people who kind of made a mistake,

200
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: you know, at least that's what Pat Hoberg said, who

201
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: we spoke about earlier, the umpire who got caught and

202
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: now he's banned from the game. The reason you catch

203
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: those people is because they're betting on apps that are

204
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: actually regulated. So the people that are like, oh, MLB

205
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: markets betting.

206
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 4: I've said my piece about it, and I just think

207
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 4: I think that the fact that we have more gambling

208
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 4: than we ever have as far as like oh, it's

209
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 4: being sponsored and all that stuff, to me, that's so

210
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 4: much safer. It's so much more regulated, there's so much

211
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 4: more we have a much more ability to track it all.

212
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: Now.

213
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you think that the commissioner will take him

214
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 2: off the list. And do you think if that's the case,

215
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: he will end up in the Hall of Fame. I

216
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 2: actually think yes to both of those too.

217
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 4: With it, I know he's gonna take him off the list.

218
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 4: How he gets voted in and what you know what

219
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 4: that process is. It would have to be like if

220
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 4: he gets in, Like how do those guys feel about it?

221
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 4: The guys that vote vote that player? Those players in.

222
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: But I think he gets taken off the list ft fam.

223
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 2: If you love ripping packs of cards, there is a

224
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: modern way to do that now on Arena Club with

225
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: their slap packs and crats. I know you love ripping

226

Speaker 2: slap packs and getting that sweet card that you've always

227
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 2: been looking for.

228
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you don't have to go through all the

229
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 4: other ones, all the crats cards that are in there. Bang,

245
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 2: we probably won't have time for later, so we'll do

246
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 2: the shout out here. Billy Eppler back in the game

247
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: and he joins the Milwaukee Brewers front office whatever title

248
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: special assistant to the regional manager blah blah blah blah blah.

249
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: But he'll be part of the front office to help

250
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: them out there. It is taking a position special advisor

251
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: scouting and baseball ops for the Brewers. According to Andy Martino,

252
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: who covers the Mets, Eppler, of course gott in I mean,

253
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: in my mind, without knowing the whole story, fake trouble

254
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: for using the PHANTOMI l sounds like maybe someone pulled

255
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: on him or something. It's something that every team does,

256
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: so I don't give a crap, but I had to

257
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 2: just sit it out because there was probably a disgruntled employee.

258
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 3: But welcome back to the sport to a good dude.

259
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: One hundred percent.

260
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 4: And when I talked to him before, you know, wanting

261
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 4: to have him on the show, he was like, you

262
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: know what, I don't know, Like I've done the GM thing.

263
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: He had two little stints and he's like, I love

264
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 4: the scouting part. So for him to be able to

265
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 4: be that advisor, to join an organization that loves great

266
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 4: people in the Brewers, to be him be able to

267
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: advise them and give them like some counsel, but also

268
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 4: be in that scouting realm.

269
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's juiced. I haven't.

270
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 4: I haven't heard back from him since I texted him

271
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: when I saw the news. But I'm excited to see

272
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: see where it goes and see where it continues to

273
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,839
Speaker 4: help an organization that continues to find value on the edges,

274
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 4: probably better than any team in the game right now.

275
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, even if he does want to jump back into

276
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: a higher level role at some point, being in that

277
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: system for a little bit will be helpful.

278
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 3: Right He had to lead the charge with the Mets

279
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: that was a team even.

280
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: On the ownership side going through transitions, and they had

281
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 2: some messy former GM situations. Right, I'm forgetting the other

282
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: dude's name, not Zack Scott, who had his own thing,

283
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: but there was one, Oh.

284
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 3: Jared Porter's.

285
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was google that if you want to be like,

286
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 2: what the heck's going on in life? But anyway, that

287
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: was a very short stint, and then he was with

288
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 2: the Angels, who also have tons of flaws within their organizations.

289
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: Then you get to go to a big boy org

290
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: in terms of how they're run and see how Milwaukee

291
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: is run.

292
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 3: I thought that was.

293
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: Very important for someone like alex Anthopolis. Right, he was

294
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: running the Jays at such a young age. I just

295
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 2: don't know how much he was able to learn from

296
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: everyone else. Right, he was often learning from himself. So

297
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 2: I thought that was cool for him to go to

298
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: the Dodgers and then run the Braves. We do have

299
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: one injury that's fresh from today that sucks. Sean Murphy

300
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 2: cracked a rib when he was hit by a pitch

301
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: on Friday. The Braves say he's expected to miss four

302
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 2: to six weeks. Top prospect Drake Baldwin likely to get

303
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: an opportunity to begin this season as the starting catcher

304
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: for the Atlanta Braves. This according to David O'Brien of

305
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: The Athletic. Oh, that's a big jump in to join

306
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 2: a team like that too, Kratz, But this is their guy,

307
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 2: Baseball America top prospect. We actually have a great video

308
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: on him that you can check out if it's not

309
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: up there now, pretty soon on the Baseball America channel.

310
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: But can you describe what this will be like for

311
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: a young, highly regarded prospect to take over at the

312
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: start of the season.

313
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: Uh?

314
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: Tough? Right now.

315
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 4: Drake Baldwin's sitting there going if he heard that news

316
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 4: this weekend. He's drinking water from a fire hose right now.

317
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 4: Not saying he wasn't he's not ready. Just more of

318
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 4: the idea that you have to lead this team that

319
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 4: you they're going to tell you, well, just be your

320
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 4: just be who you are. But he's got to take

321
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 4: over a role that he's done in the minor leagues.

322
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 4: And it's not just a seamless transition. You're learning a

323
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 4: lot of things. You're getting a crash course and a

324
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 4: lot of stuff. But fortunately Sean Murphy I assume will

325
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 4: be around and he is a pros pro who will

326
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 4: be able to help him navigate this. This is why

327
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 4: teams spend a little extra cash for a really good

328
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 4: backup though, like a Kyle Higashioka, like the Braves have

329
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 4: done for the last nineteen years on Travis Darnault. Like,

330
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 4: this is why you do it, because a playoff aspiration

331
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 4: World Series aspiring team can't miss six weeks of their

332
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 4: starting catchers. So there's a lot put on his shoulders

333
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 4: here to boom start the season.

334
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know we're still several weeks away from

335
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: the season starting, so we'll do the math and you know,

336
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: maybe Sean Murphy won't miss that much time. The one

337
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: thing I'll point out is don't sleep on number for

338
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: catchers in the postseason, especially nowadays. If you look, there

339
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: was a great article about how catchers kind of suck

340
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: most of them at hitting in October because they wear down.

341
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: So I'm just like, the Braves should be a playoff team,

342
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 2: and if this dude is legit, how do I get

343
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: him from opening Day through October to still be his

344
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: best self? Most teams have not cracked that case yet,

345
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: even with veterans. You know, the catching stats hitting wise,

346
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: now more than ever plummet in the playoffs. So how

347
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: do you keep a rookie in a good spot? Francisco

348
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: Alvarez example A. You just saw that with the Mets

349
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: this past October injury sucks starring the New York Yankees.

350
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: There are three Gean Carlos Stanton's gonna start the season

351
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: on the il PRP injections on both elbows. The Yanks

352
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: reportedly had some combos with JD Martinez to fill that

353
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 2: righty hitting DH slot. JD with a down second half,

354
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: was pretty good in the first half with the Mets.

355
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: It's one number two DJ lemayhew tweaked calf High, get

356
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: Nolan Aronato on the line, and the Saint Louis Cardinals

357
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: and number three AJ Luise heel is temporarily shut down.

358
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: So hello, Marcus Stroman. No debate there.

359
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, I thought JD. Martinez was a

360
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: pickleball player now because everything I see on social media

361
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: is that he wants to be a pickle ball player

362
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: when he retires. And then, yes, maybe Arnotto knew something

363
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: when he snuck up to Tampa the other day, although

364
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 1: he said it was to see Goldschmian some other players,

365
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: and then The biggest one to me is the Luis

366
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: Eel injury, because that's a starting member of the Rookie

367
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: of the Year and that's a starting pitcher, and no

368
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: team I don't care how many starters they say they have,

369
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: even the Dodgers have enough starting pitching. You get through

370
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: a year, you can't. You can only sustain so many injuries.

371
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: So yes, they're lucky they have Marcus Stroman. And guess what, Marcus,

372
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: You're going to get to be a starter like you

373
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: wanted now at the beginning of the year.

374
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 4: Hopefully these things aren't super severe again, it's a World

375
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 4: Series aspiring team. I don't like load managed any of

376
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 4: that stuff, but when this stuff creeps up in spring training,

377
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 4: nip it in the bud. You can get like ten

378
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 4: at bats in one day on field three and four.

379
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 4: I know AJ said you never liked that, and it's

380
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 4: not the same. All these guys are vets. The one

381
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 4: that I think is going to hurt them the most

382
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 4: is the heel injury. Yes, it alleviates the Stroman stuff,

383
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 4: but this guy carried this team last year and a

384
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 4: lot of the pitching staff did too. When Garret Cole

385
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 4: was out, a lot of people forget he was out

386
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 4: to start the season last year, and this dude stepped

387
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 4: up and almost was the starting starting pitcher for the

388
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,959
Speaker 4: American League in the All Star Game. So yeah, you

389
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 4: just you don't love seeing that, especially with a younger

390
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 4: guy too.

391
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 2: For me, third base is still a problem. I mean,

392
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: you're allowed to have a more of a question mark,

393
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 2: a weaker spot. But if you're the Yanks and you

394
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 2: want to be the best team in the American League,

395
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 2: there's a hole there. Who's playing third? Who's a starting

396
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: third baseman?

397
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: Who's on first? Yeah? Who is on? And what's on second? Yes,

398
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: I don't know it's on third. I don't know it's

399
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: on third, Scott, just so I don't know he's playing third.

400
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 3: Okay, Well he's not that good. He's a negative win player.

401
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 1: So do you okay? So then let's answer the question.

402
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: If you're the Yankees, you go trade for Arnauto?

403
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 3: Yes, I do.

404
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: Okay.

405
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,239
Speaker 3: We got to keep up with the Dodgers, but they

406
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 3: can't afford it. Did you guys?

407
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 2: See this Yandy Diaz quote to Mark Topkin in his

408
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: article The Interpreter Quote. In previous years, there was always

409
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 2: one or two guys that they kind of do whatever

410
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 2: they want to do.

411
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 3: Talking about the Rays quote.

412
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 2: So it's good that he talks about that, and that's

413
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: what we're trying to do this year so we can

414
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 2: have a good chemistry in the clubhouse. Talking about how

415
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: the Jays are going to try to work on team

416
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 2: bonding and all that. A lot of people in the

417
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 2: comments were like, Randy Rose Arena and Yandi didn't get along.

418
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 2: Might be referred to a few others in the past

419
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: as well. Obviously Wander Franco had his issues and whatever.

420
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: I'm not going to start speculating on who it was,

421
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: but many people called out Randy in particular not getting

422
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: along with Yandy. Not irregular for two teammates to not

423
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: see eye to eye, AJ, But could that whole back

424
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: chemistry and team performance. I know you're not always the

425
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 2: biggest person on that. You're like, you can hate each

426
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 2: other and still slug and be a good team.

427
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: No, but I thought it was you know, I mean,

428
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: we all kind of guess who he's talking about, because

429
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: you're going to make these assumptions. But I mean, I

430
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: just looked back to when Randy last year Tad was

431
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: playing for Traded and he went and sat in the

432
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: stands instead of flying to his next game. I mean,

433
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: those are what happened. So, I mean, you know, there's

434
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 1: there's things that happen in the course of seasons, in

435
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: the course of careers that sometimes don't always rub people

436
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: the right way. And Yandi is expressing his feelings. We

437
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: don't know who he's talking about. We can only assume,

438
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: but it's just a weird dynamic to have Yandi Diaz

439
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: come out because Krat's played with Yandi, so he knows

440
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: everything I've heard about Yandi. He's a nice guy, he's

441
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: a great guy. So to hear him say some of

442
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: the things, maybe he's taking that next step as a

443
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: leader for the race. This is big to hear Yandy

444
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: say this.

445
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 4: I mean, he's if you don't and if you don't

446
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 4: get along with Yandy, if you find out like you're

447
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 4: one of the one or two guys that he's talking about,

448
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 4: like you're really doing something wrong.

449
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: Because this dude is so chill.

450
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 4: Yes, obviously he's gonna go in and do his biceps

451
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 4: and lift and everything.

452
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: This guy just wants to go out and play baseball.

453
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: He has a great time.

454
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 4: I've never seen anybody get into get into it with

455
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 4: Yandy or like even like piss him off. He is

456
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 4: super chill, So you got to be doing something egregious

457
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 4: to have Yanni say something like this.

458
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: But I love it. I love the leader Yandy.

459
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 3: M hmm.

460
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: It's hard for me because I also want players to

461
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 2: be themselves and be fun with fans, but I get

462
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 2: how that can cause a problem. Sometimes your teammates might

463
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 2: not want you, you know, signing baseball's during an inning

464
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 2: break or something, but.

465
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:00,520

00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: for the strike zone.

470
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:11,959
Speaker 3: Did you guys see this?

472
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,640

473
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,760

00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 2: Nolan jones And Michael tolia and The rockies on who's

475
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: the tallest player Because tolio was listed, taller But Nolan

476
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: jones is actually. Taller but if you read this, article

477
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: it's pretty, specific guys in terms of how they actually

478
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 2: figure this. Out SO i thought it was interesting they

479
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: settled on the zone with and then the height is

480
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,439
Speaker 2: between twenty seven percent of a batter's height to fifty

481
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 2: three and a half percent of a batter's, height roughly

482
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 2: the letters to the. Knees when you're in your normal,

483
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: stance they do all these things aj to try and

484
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: make sure that you're not like cheating and slouching down

485
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 2: a little.

486
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 3: Bit they have you hold in your.

487
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: Breath they do the count multiple, times or they do

488
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 2: the measurement multiple. Times did you like? That because they

489
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 2: said the vets are the ones who try and actually

490
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: kind of slatch a little, bit while the young guys

491
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,080

Speaker 1: Tall, yeah i'd like to be five foot two for

493
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: my strike, zone but six foot four in real life

494
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: and that's a real. Memory then that's a real, measurement,

495
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: kids Because i'm six three and three, quarters so we round, up. Right,

496
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: Yeah So i'm just letting you know that that's a real.

497
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: Thing but, YEAH i, mean this is kind of, funny

498
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: but it takes away the little guy that's like bending,

499
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: down you, know and trying to make this strike zone

500

Speaker 1: shorter than what it. Is so, yeah it's kind of,

501
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: funny BUT i, mean whatever like this is only for

502
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: spring training until they make it next year into the real.

503

Speaker 1: Roles they have come.

504
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 4: A long way since twenty twenty, camp WHEN i saw

505
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 4: even The Great Aaron judge slouching a little bit just

506
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,320

507
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,800
