1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: A lot of people had them in the playoffs. I

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: didn't see it.

3
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 2: You didn't like them. You were strong about it too,

4
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 2: and people gave you crap. They're like, how dare you

5
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: Todd Father praise for Friday Baby, Let's have a day

6
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: Scottie Brown, fresh off of p Yeah, he always does.

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: He does it subtly. If you're listening to the pod

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: later on, Eric Kratz, sneaky Dancer. I didn't say sneaky

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: good or sneaky bad, just sneaky dancer.

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: You should have seen him in Puerto Rico, man Sis.

11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: That's all we did, all right.

12
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: So Todd Father is a former third Basement also still

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: old first base. So that'll be good in a couple

14
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: of minutes when we get to that whole shebang, that drama.

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: But todd Father is also a former Pittsburgh Pirate. Now

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 2: all of the teams he played for behind me, and

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: I just wanted to get a minute from you on

18
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: how the Pirates, just to say, to blame Derek Shelton

19
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: and hey, this team should be putting together more wins.

20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: It's got to blame somebody besides the owner, who's one

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 2: of the biggest train wrecks. In sports, but they did

22
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 2: use Derek Shelton as the fall guy yesterday after losing

23
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: seven in a row. They're twelve and twenty six. Their

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: season's over, So any thoughts before we jump into the

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: current stuff.

26
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: Listen, It's just it's crazy what's going on over there.

27
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: And again, I only played twenty games. Maybe twenty games

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,919
Speaker 1: I don't remember, but they I just remember little things

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: that just would drive you crazy, like figuring out who

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: should do what, this guy should be on the team.

31
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: I remember when I got paid well not cuts, yeah,

32
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: basically cuts. Sent down to the Triple A practice squad.

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: I had three coaches come up to me and all

34
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: three were like, this guy said this. This guy said that.

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, holy cow. I'm like, okay, great, you know,

36
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: and I'm like here we go, like this is not

37
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: how it should be. But it was nice to hear,

38
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: like somebody, you know, coming out and explaining to you,

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, who had your back and who didn't, and

40
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: that's stuff you don't forget. But at the same time,

41
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: blaming a manager for the faults, I guess that's what

42
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: they do nowadays, and that's you know, that's what these

43
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: these guys that are you know the top dogs. You know,

44
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: he did come out and say, you can't put all

45
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: the blame. It's everybody's got to work. Well, go get

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: some players, spend some money. I mean, it's not that

47
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: it's not that hard. You have the money to spend.

48
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: And we talk about it all the time, these small

49
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: market teams. Oh, you got billions of dollars. You can

50
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: go out and try and get some guys. And you know,

51
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the day you don't get them.

52
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: And you tried, and you figure out a way to say, hey,

53
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: we'll give you the same amount. This person's good respect

54
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: to you. That's just not happening.

55
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: Thank you. That's a good problem right there. That was

56
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: a good rant. And I guess I'll conclude it with this.

57
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: And you played with a team like the Yankees, different

58
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: organization from the Pirates, right, felt a little different when

59
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: you were there. Ters of treatment, of course, yes, not

60
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: as much corner cutting.

61
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: No, it was fantastic, yeah, exactly.

62
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: I mean, no offense krats. But you know when he

63
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: was with the Yanks, they didn't need it, siziy.

64
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 3: No. They had some six hot steaks though Todd knows

65
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 3: what a six oz steak is.

66
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, there's nothing better than than the food

67
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium. I mean even if you're a visitor.

68
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: We talked about that too all the time. I mean,

69
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: five course meals. Like you're sitting there when the game's

70
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: all with, that's one stadium. You're sitting there for another

71
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: hour and a half after you shower, shooting, shooting the

72
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: ship and just eating like you're a king.

73
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 2: They're keeping you there right in a good way. All right,

74
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: let's charge the mound powered by Arena Club. We've got

75
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: some juice to hit. What is going on in Boston Krats?

76
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: This has been a topic all weeks since Tristan Cassis

77
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 2: went down over the weekend with the season ending injury.

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 2: How do they replace him at first base? They don't

79
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: really have a first baseman on the forty man roster.

80
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: Could Rafael Devers move to first Alex chorus says no.

81
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: Craig Breslow basically said no, Rafael Dever's the latest to

82
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 2: speak the man himself, and there are a lot of

83
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: quotes to slice through, so he said, they can't expect

84
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 2: me to play every position out there. He had started

85
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: with saying, I know I'm a ballplayer, but at the

86
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: same time, they can't expect me to play every position

87
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: out there in spring training. They talked to me and

88
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: basically told me to put away my glove. I wasn't

89
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: going to play any other position, but DH so right now,

90
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: I just feel like it's an appropriate decision by them

91
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: to ask me to play another position. Inappropriate. On his end,

92
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: he said he's not willing to play first base, doesn't

93
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: understand why the team wants him to move again after

94
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: asking him to move positions, and he said things are

95
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: fine in the clubhouse, but essentially said that he is

96
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 2: frustrated with Craig Breslow and almost appears as if he's

97
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 2: confused why the conversation is with Breslo and not with

98
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: Alex Cora. On the clubhouse piece, Chris Catillo saying you

99
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: can bet teammates are not going to be thrilled about

100
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: this stance. There were some others saying they felt some

101
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: disappointment essentially in the room from teammates, and there was

102
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: one line about how he's like, what are they going

103
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 2: to do next? Ask me to play outfield? But yeah,

104
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 2: there's Gabrielle Star. Several of them were listening intently around

105
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: the clubhouse, and the reactions were not positive. I will

106
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: add this, Kratz, I was trying to do some homework

107
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: behind the scenes. I know Ken Rosenthal is going to

108
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: join us soon too. It does sound like there is

109
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: not much communication going on between Alex Cora and Rafael Devers.

110
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 2: This is something our show brought up the other day

111
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: and I questioned this to AJ and I'll ask it

112
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: to you again here. Is there a fractured relationship that

113
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: is going to cause a difference on the field for

114
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 2: the Red Sox because of Alex Cora and Rafael Devers

115
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: clearly not seeing eye to eye.

116
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 3: Is it going to be a noticeable angel on the field. No,

117
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 3: But if the team misses the playoffs by one game,

118
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 3: this is when division by one game, that's one of

119
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 3: the things they're gonna point to. That's just what That's

120
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: just the reality of the pressure cooker of being in Boston,

121
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: New York, Philly, probably not Chicago, but you know the

122
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 3: big markets. They're going to point to all that stuff,

123
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: and the Red Sox, while they are no pirates as

124
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: far as shooting themselves in the foot, they are not

125
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 3: doing a great job of staying ahead of this with

126
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: their superstar. He is their superstar. They paid him like

127
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: the super bar superstar. Whether they think he's still they're

128
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 3: superstar or not, they're not staying ahead of this, and

129
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: I don't think it's going to I mean, look at

130
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: the start that Devers had to start the year. He

131
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: was abysmal. I mean, he was as bad as me

132
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 3: out there, and now he's up to like a one

133
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 3: point thirty three oh ps plus like after even after

134
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: that start, so he settled into his roll all the

135
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 3: off field stuff. You get this sometimes with superstars. I

136
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: just don't think they're doing a great job of like

137
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 3: like holding back the water right now.

138
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,600

160
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: The code is simple, it's two letters FT.

161
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: For me, there's a couple of things I want to

162
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: break down here. As a professional, you know, I'm going

163
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: to go kind of lean a little bit against what

164
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: he was saying there, just a little bit. I agree

165
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: with him for the most part, but a little bit.

166
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: If you're a professional baseball player and you know you

167
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: could play the field, and you've been a field of

168
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: your whole life, get out there and work at your position,

169
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: even though they even if they say you're probably not

170
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: going to play there. Well, in my mind, it's like, well,

171
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: I want to keep my feet moving, I want to

172
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: get my body in certain positions just in case of

173
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: an injury like that should be the mindset. Again, I'm

174
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: not siding with you know, the brass, the management with

175
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: the Red Sox. But at the same time, be a professional,

176
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And again it's me not

177
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: bashing another player. It's me explaining, like, go take some

178
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: balls at third. But it doesn't have to be every day.

179
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: You know, you a day game, chill out, get ready

180
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: to dh go out there and you know when Bregman's hitting,

181
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: and go take fifteen to twenty balls and get your

182
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: body in a certain position. So again, if this does

183
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: come up somebody's struggling, well, guess what my legs are

184
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: underneath me. I can still go out there and play

185
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: a little bit and then eventually it's gonna take time

186
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: to get back to where he needs to be. But

187
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: now on the other side of the spectrum, you did

188
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: you told him put away your glove, that's the truth.

189
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: So why are you gonna expect him to come out

190
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: and play in a position. Okay, So there's both different sides.

191
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: I think as a baseball player and as an infielder,

192
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: go in to play first base. That's probably the easiest

193
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: transition from third to first. I easily think he could

194
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: do it. It takes the pressure off him. He's going

195
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: to be in every single play, just like in third base.

196
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: You're in every single play because you've got to react.

197
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: It's about a reaction. A couple of things. He's gonna

198
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: have to work on, picking base balls, how to set

199
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: his feet up at first base, you know when there's

200
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: a lefty throne compared to a righty. Had to get

201
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: all the base playing defense, where to position himself with

202
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: the runnerund first so he can make an easy double play.

203
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that go into it. Again,

204
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: but at the same time, he's a professional. He can

205
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: easily do it. And to hear this riff raff with

206
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: uh several teammates that we're listening, that's a crock of crap.

207
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: I don't you know. I don't believe that. I mean,

208
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: guys might might have said something, but you're gonna write

209
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: something like that and try and ruffle more feathers. I

210
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: just find that little disheartening. I think, honestly, guys are

211
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: always going to talk, and that's baseball in a nutshell.

212
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: Scottie and you know they're Red Sox are are only

213
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: two games out. They're actually playing decent baseball right now.

214
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: And Rafael devils Dev's two knocks yesterday, it's really not

215
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: bothering them anymore. So again, be a professional and going

216
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: to first base isn't the worst thing in the world.

217
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: You're in every play and I think he can do it.

218
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: I mean, has Has Raffie. I don't want what I

219
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: said to be misconstrued that I don't think Raffie should

220
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 3: be out there. I think every player from the high

221
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 3: school level to the All Star game should be willing

222
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 3: to change positions to win the game. You play to

223
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 3: win the game. And if you're not playing to win

224
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: the game, are you out there for personal accolades? Are

225
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: you out there just for yourself? Is it gonna be tough, Absolutely,

226
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: it's gonna be tough. But this is where the organization says,

227
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 3: you know what, We're gonna give you some ground balls. Hey,

228
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 3: then we're gonna put you in there and we're gonna

229
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 3: see how it goes. You never know, it might work

230
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: out for you, but ultimately hopefully will work out for

231
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 3: the team. Because when Yoshida comes back, if he is

232
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: the guy that's gonna be banging balls off the green Monster,

233
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: hitting balls the opposite field like he can when he's

234
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 3: hot and healthy. Now it stretches your lineup out to

235
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: go to the playoffs, to go where you want to go.

236
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 3: The reason you told the team go out and buy somebody, Like,

237
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: why would you not make the change? Oh? Because they

238
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: told me. They told me I wasn't going to I don't,

239
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't buy that.

240
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

241
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: So Alex Korra has even said on our show in

242
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: spring training he likes guys to tell it like it is.

243
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 2: Of course, we love that on this show because we'd

244
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: like to hear the transparency even in the off season.

245
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: Correct me if I'm wrong here. Kratz Cora said he

246
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 2: wanted Bregman, but the front office was a little more

247
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: wishy washy. Obviously everyone wants him, but it was at

248
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 2: a certain price, right. Wasn't there a little bit of

249
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: publicity to them debating who they wanted in free agency?

250
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I know that. I'm just bringing this

251
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 2: up here.

252
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: I don't remember. I don't remember that part.

253
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't remember that.

254
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll ask Ken about it. But the reason I'm

255
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 2: bringing this up is I'm wondering if there's a little

256
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: dissension where Alex Core is like, yeah, I don't want

257
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: him on the field. I want him just dhing. I

258
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: don't even want him at first, and Breslo is like,

259
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 2: I would like to try him there because that would

260
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: maximize the lineup potential if we can get Devers over

261
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: at first first, and we can use that DH slot

262
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 2: for others. And this is still a young kid who,

263
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: like Todd father said, should be able to handle first, right,

264
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: he wasn't playing a good third, but that doesn't mean

265
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 2: he can't handle first. And also nobody is saying grab

266
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: a glove, go play there tomorrow. But for optics purposes too,

267
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: wouldn't you say, hey, I know we told you this.

268
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 2: We messed up. We shouldn't have said throw your glove out.

269
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: We're not having you play DH at all. Go grab

270
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 2: your glove, take a little early ground balls, see what happens,

271
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: and just start to get acclimated with first base. You

272
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: want to be in this league for a long time.

273
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: You're signed up with us for what eight more years?

274
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 2: See if that's going to be a thing for you

275
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: in the future too. Even if you're back at third

276
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: base next year because Bregman ops out and leaves us.

277
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: Do we think that he's going to play third base

278
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: six years from now. Yeah, it's a good position to

279
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: have if you can handle it, and the holster if

280
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: you want to still be out in the.

281
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: Field, and maybe versatility helps there a little bit. It's

282
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: not like they're to them. You got to go to

283
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: the minor leagues and work on this. Ye not happening

284
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: to numerous people, you know, go down the minor leagues,

285
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: work on playing third base. We'll bring you back up,

286
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: never to be seen again.

287
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 2: They're not putting the outfield either, by the way, I

288
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: know he said that.

289
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think. I think it would just

290
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: came out, you know, when you're talking all of a sudden,

291
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, even in the outfield, whatever just

292
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: works out. But I think his focus should be on

293
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: helping the team out. I think, honestly, Yeah, in the beginning,

294
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: I would have been pissed off too. They said, you're

295
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: not playing third base anymore. I understand understandably. Understandably that

296
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: was your position. They brought a guy in who's a

297
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: really good third base and took your spot. Okay, so

298
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: what you moved on now all of a sudden, you know,

299
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: nobody's feeling bad for you. You're gonna be fine. Go

300
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: out there and be the team guy that you know

301
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: you can be, and try and work your butt off

302
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: to win it, you know, in al least if it comes,

303
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: if it comes into fruition.

304
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's get to Ken Rosenthal coming up in

305
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: just a moment. And and yes, by the way, Core

306
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 2: was the front guy in the off season and was

307
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: vocal about it how he wanted bregmant.

308

00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: need that, ballplayers need them.

311
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure the PR team for the Red

312
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: Sox has everything together right now for him either. I

313
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 2: don't know if they have his back, they'll just kind

323
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: Hammer Territory, commented on this little Braves note about them

324
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: selecting Luke Williams to the roster and they designated Eddie

325
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: Rosario for assignment. He said, no joke. I think the

326
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: Braves saw how slow Eddie turned third base in the

327
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: ninth last night and said, yeah, that's enough.

328
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: Williams. It's another USA guy. Played the Trials with him.

329
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: He was our leadoff guy, stud waiting for him to

330
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: get going. Man, give him a shot, let him prosper.

331
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: The kid can play. So I'm rooting for you, rooting

332
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: for you, buddy.

333
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 2: He's a little faster than Eddie.

334
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: Yes, he's quick.

335
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: I'm trying to cueue up the sprint speed for him.

336
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: Hey man, listen, I kid you not. I'm on here

337
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: and it's not popping up.

338
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: Why would it do that?

339
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: Oh, I guess there's not enough plate appearances obviously, So I'm.

340
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: Like Williams, Luke Williams, I get this is the case.

341
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 3: Like Eddie Rosario has had a much better career, but

342
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: Luke Williams is the type of player that you teach

343
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 3: your high school kids to play like. But everybody wants

344
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 3: to be like Eddie Rosario just coming out and just

345
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 3: I remember when he hit seven home runs in seven

346
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 3: straight days and he had that ridiculous NLCS like, and

347
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 3: Luke Williams is like, Okay, you know what, I'm just

348
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 3: gonna do everything right. Run The basis not a lot.

349
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: Lucas the tom Amansky of baseball.

350
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,320

351
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 2: out what type of car you want, but when it

352
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,760

Speaker 3: the span base. What would be your message to them,

Speaker 3: just to keep them in the building as the team tries.

376
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 4: To figure out some of these struggles. You believing us.

377
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 4: Thank you, broduct, Thanks.

378
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: And a little more here After, Kyle Freeland got emotional

379
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 2: and walked off the podium, but Patrick Saunders, who covers

380
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: the team for the Denver Post, said Freeland was asked

381
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: to compare the Tigers and the Royals turnarounds to you

382
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 2: know what they're dealing with. He said, what they're doing

383
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: is right. What we're doing is wrong, and we're not

384
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: winning baseball games. We're playing a bad brand of baseball

385
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 2: all the way around, pitching, fielding, hitting. I mean, they

386
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: might set the record for worst team in baseball a

387
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,199
Speaker 2: year after we saw the worst team in baseball, the

388
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: Chicago White Talks. So first, real quick, Kratz, because I

389
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: know you're an emotional guy. Did you feel that from

390
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: Kyle who's been there for a while, grew up in

391
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: Colorado and also only pitches every five six days, He's

392
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: he's feeling it. It must suck to be on a

393
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: team that loses that bad every day one.

394
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 3: I mean you said he pitches once every five days.

395
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 3: Pitchers are out there every single day for themselves in

396
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 3: the sense that they got their day after throwing. Today

397
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 3: is a tough day. They're sore, they're working out, they're

398
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 3: getting everything going. So like pitchers are invested, they're just

399
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 3: not invested in the same way that like position players are.

400
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 3: And to me, that's where that frustration comes from. I

401
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 3: think he has after last night. I think he has

402
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: like a ten zero point five era exactly at home

403
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 3: in his home starts this year, like he just had

404
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: a stinker. And you see that emotion from him. It

405
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 3: shows he cares. It shows a veteran that's been on

406
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 3: this team when they were good cares and he wants

407
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: he wants them to do well. Nobody's being put around him.

408
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 3: Nobody's been putting around him. So you put all that

409
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: work and effort and daily grind into another stinker where

410
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 3: guys just throw the ball away, balls that are rolling

411
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 3: almost stopping rolling and hitting going between your player's legs

412
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: and bouncing away and runners move up again. Like that's

413
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 3: that's frustrating to work all week for one start and

414
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 3: then you see that effort behind you, or you see

415
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: that those results not about effort, those results behind you

416
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 3: on defense.

417
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's everything, it's everything. You know, when it rains,

418
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: it pours. We know that the record looks dismal. Yeah,

419
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: you come to the ballpark every day like, oh boy,

420
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: here we go again. That's the last thing you got

421
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: to any job, not even ballpark. You go to a job,

422
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: you know where it's struggling. You're not winning, you're not

423
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: getting the you know, getting the job you want, or

424
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: they're not giving you the opportunities. Let me go to

425
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: get another coffee. You know. It's just it's tough and

426
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: it it's hard to get stuff out of your players

427
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: when you're struggling in any profession that you do, and

428
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: especially baseball. Now it's uh going the ballpark, like, here

429
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: we go again, been there, been there, It's it stinks. Todd.

430
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 3: I got a question for you. Have you ever played

431
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: on a bad team that you were like, I just

432
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 3: don't think today we're gonna win. Did you ever think

433
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 3: that in the big leagues? Because I asked Aja that before,

434
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: like you guys were all stars, Like, so, you know,

435
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 3: I want to compare your mindset and process compared to

436
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 3: mine on the teams that I played on.

437
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, there was never a thought in my mind that, oh,

438
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna lose today. When you're struggling, there's doubt. You know,

439
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: sometimes there's doubt, especially with yourself, but team wise, always

440
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: toun came up the next day and let's just get

441
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: after it. And I always thought we always had an

442
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to win. But you know, you always had doubt

443
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: in your mind when you struggle, you're like, oh, no,

444
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: here we go again. No, not this time. But you

445
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: know you find a way to get out of it.

446
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 2: But you never played for the twenty twenty five Colorado Rockies,

447
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: who have already had four six game losing skids. They

448
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 2: were outscored twenty one to three in the doubleheader yesterday

449
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: and out hit twenty nine to nine. They're six and

450
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 2: thirty one on the season. It is May ninth.

451
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: That's it's so funny. We're talking about this now and

452
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: a buddy of mine who works with the Rockies, he says,

453
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: have you seen the Rockies record? He's in the minor

454
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: leagues and we're talking about it right now. I feel

455
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: like Tim Kerchon.

456
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 3: This is crazy. This is unbelievable.

457
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: You know, it's weird how this just popped up. And

458
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: he's not even watching the show right now. I said,

459
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,719
Speaker 1: turn the show on. You'll see we're talking about it.

460
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: That is absolutely insanity.

461
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 2: I don't know what the pace is because I don't

462
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: have the quick math, but it's really bad.

463
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's like seven games below. What the what

464
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 3: the White Sox did currently?

465
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 1: They're on pace for ish?

466
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 3: I think something didn't The White Sox lose one.

467
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 2: One right right?

468
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: Right? Is that it?

469
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 2: One is the all timer last year?

470
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: I don't know.

471
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: They've got work to do.

472
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: And they will get to work and do it.

473
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it just might not be winning work. The thing

474
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 2: is Krafts for me, usually when the team's this bad,

475
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 2: it does usually tumble even more so. I mean the

476
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 2: Rockies aren't big trade deadline sellers because the ownership family

477
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 2: just has no idea what to do with the trade deadline,

478
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: and they'll just keep people their friends with. But you

479
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: get worse usually if you sell off parts and then

480
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,719
Speaker 2: also your depth guest tested as the year goes on.

481
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: It's hard enough for an organization to operate with that

482
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 2: ballpark and in that environment. We haven't seen a lot

483
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 2: of consistent winnings since that franchise started, But I don't

484
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 2: think anyone's asking for that. They're just like, can we

485
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 2: get a competitive team to some extent right now?

486
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 3: You would be excited if you looked at the guys,

487
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 3: like from a prospect standpoint, from a like Ryan McMahon,

488
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 3: Ezekiel Tovar, Brenton Doyle, like you're like, yeah, Like even

489
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: my buddy and my twin Jacob Stallings had to bounce

490
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: back resurgent offensive year last year. He has a goal

491
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 3: glove in his in his arsenal, Like you'd be like, Okay,

492
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 3: they got some cool, nice pieces, but they're so afraid

493
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: as an organization to go outside of what they've done

494
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 3: that a team that, yeah, they didn't hit very well

495
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the season, they fired in the offseason.

496
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 3: They didn't bring back one of their assistant coaches that

497
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: was from the organization. Didn't bring them back for no

498
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: reason because they cut down from three hitting coaches like

499
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 3: most teams have to two. And then they hired Bam

500
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 3: Bam Hensley Mullins and they fired him what like twenty

501
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 3: games into the season, and now they're hitting even worse

502
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 3: since Clint Hurdles that Like, it's just I'm confused the

503
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: message that they're sending the players, not the players not

504
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 3: getting the job done. It's confusing what message is being sent?

505
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: And I'll button this up real short and simple. If

506
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm in double A, triple A, it's go time. Hey,

507
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: get after it, dominate all of a sudden, you're gonna

508
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,439
Speaker 1: be the next one in line, because if they do

509
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: trade some pieces, they're gonna bring some people up because

510
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: they got nobody else. Minor leaguers and Rockies. Get after

511
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: a big dog. It's your turn.

512
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: M hm, time to shine. I mean, they're gonna start

513
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 2: switching things up. They already did a little bit right.

514
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: They had a new hitting coach in there, and Clint Hurdle,

515
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 2: although he it's been part of the mix. There for

516
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: a long time. They need some fresh voices, freshness, get

517
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: a little freshness that. You notice how some of the

518
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: worst teams ever just never really go outside of their

519
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 2: comfort zone to get help. It's almost like they don't dissension.

520
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 2: They don't want someone telling them you're wrong.

521
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: I don't know.

522
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: Maybe you can raise that, we can talk about it more.

523
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 3: Sometimes that's the exact opposite. That's the exact opposite of

524
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 3: what the ras are doing. The rais are like, if

525
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 3: you don't, they get rid of you. If you don't question,

526
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 3: if you're not willing to bring something up that will

527
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 3: help the organization.

528
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 2: Hey we're back. We'll do some fan comments on the

529
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: Kyle Freeland to quote Dodger hater or something like that.

530
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: I don't know what the name is. It's not the

531
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 2: player's faults, the owner's fault. Yes, it's pretty obvious master plan.

532
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 2: Why should people believe in a team that the owners

533
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 2: don't care about. I have nothing against the players. The

534
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: organization is terrible. Jare Bear, I've been hoping this guy

535
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 2: goes to a winning team for a long time. He

536
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 2: deserves so much better, and so does the entire Rockies

537
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: fan base. You know what, I'm gonna stop. There's a

538
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 2: lot more. It's kind of depressing Friday.

539
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 3: Rockies ownership does care about the people. They care about

540
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 3: the people they have on the roster. In my opinion,

541
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: that they don't care about winning. That's my like. They're not.

542
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 3: They're not. They're not treating their players bad. They treat

543
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 3: their players like gold. From what I have heard, the

544
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 3: difference is, I don't think they care about winning as

545
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 3: much as a Major League Baseball ownership should care.

546
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: Why why aren't they? You know, I know we can't

547
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: talk from what we're trying to run here, but what

548
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: about the manager? Like Pirates got rid of theirs? And

549
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: what about good old Bud Black over there? I mean

550
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: been there for a long time. Yeah, I mean is

551
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: it time to start mixing and matching that up a

552
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: little bit?

553
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: I will say the difference between the White Sox and

554
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: Rockies versus the Pirates is the Pirates will actually switch

555
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 2: it up every five to seven years when they retank,

556
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 2: they will bring in a new group.

557
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: But when's the last time that they've been good at

558
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: the Rockies under his management?

559
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: Eighteen eighteen?

560
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's been seven eight years.

561
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber's been hitting on base a lot for a while.

562
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,239
Speaker 2: Forty three games with the knock in the ninth, more

563
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: than halfway to Ted Williams, who has the record at

564
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 2: eighty four, a.

565
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: Little over halfway.

566
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 2: Good luck even Still, when you think about it and

567
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 2: how bad batting averages are these days, and I know

568
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 2: Schwarbs takes a lot of walks. This isn't a hitting streak,

569
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 2: this is on bass streak. Still, the fact that he

570
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: is getting on base in forty three games in.

571
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: A row is damn impressive.

572
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 2: And the way pitching is these days, how advanced it is,

573
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: how you're not getting the same pitcher for you know,

574
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 2: they pull guys like that's impressive. I mean, I think

575
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 2: the pitching's better than when Ted Williams was hit.

576
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: I was school with you, right, A little bit, a

577
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: little bit measured, yeah.

578
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: And they needed to stretch it. They needed that comeback.

579
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 3: He made out and last out the third out and

580
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: the seventh, and they needed to stretch it around. The

581
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: boys needed to come through for him. Obviously, came back

582
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 3: and won. Scott hit a Dukee fly ball for a

583
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 3: three run dinger to get him back up to the plate,

584
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 3: and then he looped it in. He got to first

585
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 3: and like high fived Paco the first base coach, and

586
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 3: was like already running out. He knew he was getting

587
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: pinched run for Rojas, just ran like his feet were

588
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 3: on fire, like it was. It was awesome. Then Den

589
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: Schwarmer was top step cheering for the boys. Anyway. He's

590
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 3: a he's a G. He's a G.

591
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 2: Yes, he's got to get the boys to figure out

592
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 2: the playoffs. You know, I think the Phillies will get there,

593
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 2: but got to figure it out in the postseason. Yep

594

Speaker 2: ft fam, We're excited to introduce you to row Back

Speaker 2: men O Cyrus in the Athletic ten early season MLB

606
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 2: numbers that could be caused for alarm. Let's begin with

607
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. Now this was several days ago, but still

608
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 2: you'll get the effects. He said, one hundred and fifty

609
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: seven innings by starters. That means they're on pace for

610
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: a bottom five innings output of all time. Their starters

611
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 2: are going four and a half innings on average. It's

612
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 2: just how things go in LA these days. I'm reading

613
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: stuff here from the article. Obviously it's been successful for them,

614
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: but over the course of a full season, you know,

615
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: you're looking at an extra two hundred to two hundred

616
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: fifty innings that the bullpen will be taxed with. Now, krats,

617
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: it's not the same roster all year, especially for the Dodgers.

618
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: Their forty man is fit for a twenty six man,

619
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: if that makes sense. But what do you take from

620
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 2: these numbers?

621
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 3: I mean, it's disheartening. It's also disheartening if it comes

622
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 3: with injuries. It's you always look at the rays and

623
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 3: you're like, oh man, the rays are just they don't care.

624
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 3: They're gonna break their bullpen guys. And then they bring

625
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 3: up the next one. Dodgers do it a little bit

626
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 3: different in the sense that they're not pushing their starters

627
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: through some situations just because it's more like, Okay, you

628
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 3: know Yamamoto Sasaki, they came over from Japan. Glass now

629
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 3: is always coming off some type of injury. I thought

630
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: that's why Blake Snell was gonna be a huge piece

631
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: for them, that he would be able to eat more

632
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 3: innings because he can throw more pitches. But they do

633
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 3: it differently in a sense that they're like, we're not

634
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 3: gonna push these guys right now. We're not gonna push them.

635
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 3: We have out of the bullpen. We have Casparius Landon

636
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 3: Nak has thrown out of the bullpen. I know he's

637
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: starting now. They even talked about Dustin May throwing out

638
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 3: a bullpen. He hasn't. But they have a different type

639
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 3: of pitcher that they can call up from the minor

640
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 3: leagues that gives them innings out of the bullpen. Oh yeah.

641
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 3: And then they have foreclosers in their bullpen too, and

642
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 3: that's with Blake trying to not even in their current

643
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 3: active bullpen. So they build it differently. But it's concerning

644
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 3: because those dudes cannot stand up to that the rest

645
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 3: of the year, and they're just gonna start cycling through

646
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 3: a bunch of triple A guys.

647
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, basically all she wrote there with that, I mean,

648
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: that's part of it.

649
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: They have Yamamoto obviously having a cy young ish seasn't

650
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 2: up until last night. By the way. The other problem

651
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: could be the Nashally West is damn good, and we

652
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 2: talked about you thought they were going to look better

653
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 2: than they they are right now, the Dodgers, and they

654
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: certainly look good. But you know, Game one against the Diamondbacks,

655
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 2: they brought it to them and Yamamoto had a mistake pitch.

656
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 2: He really hasn't had many of those, right, it was

657
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 2: it was ninety two down the pipe, Gabrielle Moreno's first

658
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 2: home run of the year, A big timely one, a

659
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 2: grand slam for them there, it is right. I mean,

660
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: Yamamoto has been working those corners. Obviously, he's got great

661
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 2: secondary stuff. So, I mean he's been great so far

662
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: this year, and this was the clunker.

663
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: I do, but I do have like I feel like

664
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: that is alarming about the innings. I don't know, I know,

665
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: we yeah, I do, I do it. I four and

666
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: a half. They have a bunch of guys that could

667
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: do it, and I know they have the injuries, but

668
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: at the same time, it's like, you know, get the

669
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: six you know, get to you know, get get into

670
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: the sixth and listen, they have a good bullpen, but

671
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 1: you know, when everybody is healthy, they're going to be

672
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: absolutely dominant. But still that is an alarm for me.

673
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 2: My point is it just got so overblown in the offseason.

674
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: Crats.

675
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 2: This is not a perfect team.

676
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 3: What how How is this not a perfect team? How

677
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 3: can you just just give them the trophy? Let's just

678
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 3: play for second place. It's not a perfect team. They

679
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 3: have a lot of they have a lot of Hey,

680
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 3: they won it last year after Todd said, oh, they

681
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 3: should just give them the trophy, and then the team

682
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 3: got better. Yes, they got better. They want to win

683
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 3: it again. That's why they brought the players in that

684
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 3: they did. If they were the perfect team, they wouldn't

685
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 3: have brought in all those guys. They would be like,

686
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 3: we don't need all these guys because we'll be fine.

687
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 3: We just have twenty six really good players. No, they

688
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 3: need it, and they know that these kinds of things

689
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 3: are gonna happen. But they also know that it'll set

690
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 3: them up for success in the postseason because they've built

691
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 3: so much depth and they didn't just grind these dudes

692
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 3: into the ground the entire.

693
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 1: Season and ship.

694
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 2: Well, you're saying that in a way where they'll be

695
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 2: better or you don't know if he will pits? Which

696
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 2: way do you mean that?

697
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: I would say they're going to be both both, But

698
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: right now, honestly, the only thing I could think of

699
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: him doing, even if he's one hundred percent, bring him

700
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: out of the bullpen. Don't even you can't do that?

701
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: Why not? Just I do like to do in travel all. Hey, man,

702
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 1: you just bad go warm up? Hopefully the ning takes

703
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: a little longer than usual, so you get hey, why change,

704
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: bro Listen, you want to see him like a little kid.

705
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: Hurry up, get down there, one, two, three, and you

706
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: got three warm ups. You're good. You're good. Just hop

707
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: on the mound. You'll get your warm up.

708
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 2: If anyone could do it, it is him, right. He

709
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 2: is like the little league kid who's just better at

710
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 2: everything than anyone in baseball. Right, You're like, this dude

711
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 2: can lead and stolen bases, strike out. The most interesting

712
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 2: the most power. He could play outfield too. He I

713
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: think will at some point later in his career go

714
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 2: to the outfields because he can, and he might win

715
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: a Gold Glove out there, going.

716
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: That cage underneath the stadium. I'm telling you, man, I

717
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: could see it happening. Might not happen in the regular season,

718
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 1: but we'll see playoffs.

719
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: Things can happen. Who knows playoffs things can get crazy, right.

720
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 2: Could I see him closing out a World Series game?

721
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely this year? Even absolutely? But could I also see

722
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks bouncing the Dodgers early on in the playoffs,

723
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 2: you know, in the first or second round. I could

724
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,800
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks might finish in third or fourth in the division,

725
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: snag a wild card, and then upset the world. I mean,

726
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 2: this is a good team, and I think it's a

727
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 2: team that's built to win in the playoffs if they

728
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: get there. They just missed last year, the year before

729
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 2: they made it to the World Series. Diamondbacks are damn good.

730
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 2: That was pretty good yesterday.

731
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: And the lineup they're a good team. The lineup's good, man.

732
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: The defense is good. I'm just saying this is a

733
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 2: really solid ball club that can upset anyone. And I

734
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 2: think they've put the right mix of people together, crats

735
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 2: like Perdomo, who we've talked about a lot, k Tell Marte, Corbyn, Carroll.

736
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 2: These guys are not scared. Even Kevin Ginkel, who told

737
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 2: us in the offseason how he feels like the Dodgers

738
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 2: tighten up against them, whether that's true or not, that's

739
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 2: the kind of guy I want in my bullpen facing

740
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 2: the Dodgers in a playoff game in the eighth inning,

741
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: when the bases are loaded, They're.

742
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 3: Gonna need a lot of Kevin Ginkles in the bullpen

743
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 3: because that bullpen is shaky, shaky McGrady right now without

744
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 3: Justin Martinez, without aj Puck, Like we're we're a little

745
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 3: we're a little struggle bust in there. But you said

746
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 3: that lineup is ridiculous. You can't. You can't count a

747
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 3: team out that has two MVP candidates on it, Codel, Marte, Corbyn, Carrol.

748
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 3: They lost Christian Walker and they added Josh Naylor. Like,

749
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 3: this lineup is awesome. They run the bases with their

750
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 3: hair on. To me, that's a team that can beat you,

751
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: just like a team that has three really good starters

752
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 3: in the playoffs can beat you. A lineup that can

753
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 3: absolutely do so many different things, not just hit a

754
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 3: home run or not just put the ball in play.

755
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 3: They can do everything that. That's the team that can

756
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: win in the playoffs, and they'll be scary. They have

757
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 3: to get in first. They can't keep playing eight to

758
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 3: seven games.

759
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 2: Well said, well yeah, oh hey, aj Hinch is the

760
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: seventy fifth manager in history with nine hundred wins active

761
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 2: managers to reach that, Mark Bochi, Tito, Melvin Black, Hinch.

762
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: Congrats Hinch.

763
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: I like it.

764
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 2: He's great. Obviously the Tigers are playing great ball. Let

765
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 2: me get to the A's from that article from Mino

766
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 2: Cires because we were running that short on time, because

767
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 2: we're going to get to Ohio's. But he said, right now,

768
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 2: the easiest park to homer in at night is Sacramento.

769
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: The sixth hardest place to hit a homer in during

770
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: the day A Sacramento.

771
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: That's interesting.

772
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 3: Wait say that again. It's opposite.

773
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hotter during the day.

774
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the warmer it is, it should be going out.

775
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 2: No, I think they're looking at night time homers and

776
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,479
Speaker 2: daytime homers. So easiest park to homer in at night

777
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 2: is Sacramento the sixth hardest place to hit a homer

778
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 2: in during the day Sacramento.

779
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: Just wait until, wait till the summer summer heat.

780
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 3: Like I would have said, like like Colorado during the

781
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 3: day day games. Oh, I love hitting it over on

782
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 3: day games, So I would have said it would have

783
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 3: been opposite. It gets you know, it gets dark, it

784
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 3: gets cooler. I don't know. I wonder if like some

785
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 3: wind rolls in or something usually gets calmer at night.

786
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 3: I'm confused by that, but I'll just know.

787
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: Wait, wait until the summer comes and it's scorching degrees

788
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 1: and they play a day game and the ball.

789
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 3: It's gonna be the sun there. It's gonna be a

790
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 3: one ten and the boys are just gonna be cooking.

791
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 3: Like looking, she's a frying out here.

792
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 1: Let me some coke.

793
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 3: Let's go to the pool.

794
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 2: And they both have the wildest swings in home run

795
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 2: environment because the weather matters so much more since their

796
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: minor league parks, they shade their fields less when it

797
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: becomes more of a factor. That's interesting, makes sense though, Yeah,

798
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 2: analyticals and weather riticals, well, you don't have the whole

799
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 2: stadium hover and over your block and stuff coming in right.

800
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: That's how I explained things. That's why I'm not in

801
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: the education world. I ended up here.

802
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:45,919
Speaker 1: I just made up a word.

803
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 2: All right, let's look ahead at the weekend. You want

804
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 2: to pick a series that you'll be watching.

805
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,919
Speaker 1: I mean, for me, I got excited because I thought

806
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: it was Yankees' Mets. But that's next week, next weekend.

807
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: So little crats are here, Philly Cleveland, Philly Cleve. I'm

808
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: feeling a little bit of action. I'm seeing Philly here.

809
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean the Guardians. They find ways to win games.

810
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,720
Speaker 1: You know, Philly's coming off a nice little stretch thereon Tampa.

811
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: So I feel like a little Nola Williams action. Williams

812
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: has been pitching really, really well. In my opinion, he

813
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: just goes after it. He'll get hit every once in

814
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: a while, but he finds a way to throw a

815
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: lot of endings and get after it. So I'm I'm

816
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 1: gonna go over there in the Guardian action.

817
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 2: Okay, rats, I'll go out west.

818
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 3: It's got to either be the Dodgers and Diamondbacks or

819
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 3: it's got to be the Yankees and A's, just because

820
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 3: the A's are playing well. See how they do up

821
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 3: against a team, a lineup like the Yankees. But I mean,

822
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 3: I think the Dodgers Dodgers Diamondbacks is the is the

823
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 3: Marquis series with you know, division division clash. They already

824
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 3: played one game and you're like, this is gonna be

825
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 3: nice all weekend.

826
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 2: I agree, that's the one Roki Sasaki on the Mounta

827
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 2: tonight against Eduardo Rodriguez. But I'll give a few other candidates.

828
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 2: Cubs Mets should produce some offense. Jameson tie On against

829
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,879
Speaker 2: Clay Holmes in the first one. But I mean, these

830
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: are two really good looking lineups that could do damage

831
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 2: even in the playoffs against the Dodgers team. Like when

832
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 2: you look at the lineups right now and how they've operated,

833
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 2: I do think both lineups are capable of keeping up

834
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 2: with LA in a series. And that's saying something. Boston

835
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 2: and Kansas City just the Devers drama continuing. It's more

836
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 2: about the pre and the post game quotes. But also

837
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,439
Speaker 2: Kansas City's one fifteen out of seventeen. That's pretty good.

838
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 2: And then lastly it's really good. Lastly, this one stands

839
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 2: out Kratz because of the urgency. The Orioles just lost

840
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 2: three out of four I believe it was to the

841
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 2: Twins back to back five to two losses to end

842
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 2: the series there, right, that was four. They're playing the Angels,

843
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 2: who are not playing good ball. It's Chicano, like you

844
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier against Kyle Hendricks and the first game. I mean,

845
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 2: the Orioles are ten games under five hundred right now,

846
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 2: ten games under five hundred. When are we panicking? I mean,

847
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 2: I know we have a little bit on this show already.

848
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: Said that a lot of people had them in the playoffs.

849
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 1: I didn't see it.

850
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 2: You didn't like them. You were strong about it too,

851
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 2: and people gave you crap. They're like, how dare you,

852
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 2: Todd father? They're thirteen and twenty three.

853
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: Had the prospects to get rid of, to freaking get

854
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: guys back. Man, prospects are great, It's cool all I'm

855
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: the top guy in the organization. Yeah, a few of them,

856
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, prosper and do well. But how many really

857
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: go out there and are like whoa? You know, like

858
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: they had them to get some key veteran guys that

859
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: are solid and pitching didn't do it. Right now, I'm

860
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 1: just not high on them.

861
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 2: So that's why Krats. I mean this weekend. You watch this,

862
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 2: you're like, you got to put some sweeps together. You

863
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 2: got to get on a win streak here. You know,

864
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,479
Speaker 2: this is one of the worst teams in baseball right now,

865
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 2: talking about the Angels of the Orioles are not far

866
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: off right. You got to put some wins together. You

867
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 2: got to win a series here. The Twins aren't great either,

868
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 2: and the Twins just made them look bad.

869
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 3: It's happening in different aspects. They're getting thrown out on

870
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 3: the basis they're not hitting clearly, you know, you don't know,

871
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 3: they don't they don't have starting pitching Sigano Tonight will

872
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 3: be you know, will be a boost for them. But man,

873
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 3: you're right, it's it's panic time. You asked earlier this

874
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 3: week if it was panic time. It's panic time. Double

875
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 3: digits under five hundred has to turn around.

876
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: Hey, let's lap reminder to everyone. We like when you

877
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 2: make suggestions on guests that we should try and bring

878
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 2: onto the show. Player wise, if there's somebody out there

879
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 2: that you feel like is a good combo, a good interview,

880
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 2: and we're missing them, let us know and we'll reach

881
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 2: out and we'll try and get him on the show

Speaker 2: on the schedule for later in the week.

884
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: It's closer.

885
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 2: Always a fun combo. Cratsats.

00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:28,240
Speaker 3: it's the Nationals. Wait again, it's Miami's Islands.

891
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 2: That could be the Marlins. That's right, that's a cool hat.

892
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 2: What do they call that when you can, you know,

893
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 2: flip something and it's the same either.

894
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: Way, inverted each other.

895
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 2: No, there's a better word for that. Just none of us, knuckleheads.

896
00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: No, CRUs you're wrong one today. Wait a minute, sack,

897
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 1: wait a minute.

898
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 3: Not the Rockies, Not the Rockies.

899
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 1: Rocky, I get it, I get it.

900
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 2: Not Rocket a dub Yeah, yeah, to find a dub

901
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 2: lately with Hey, Kyle Freeland laid his heart out and

902
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: and Kratz is just ripping it.

903
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: Yeah he's he's just become this high school coach and

904
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: he's like.

905
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 2: You because they win too much, that team they do.

906
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: He's a successful high school He's got to win a

907
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: state Championship for him to get some clout. It's this

908
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: time is now? Yeah? Put up for shot.

909
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 3: I don't win anything. I don't have to win anything.

910
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 3: The kids have to win. It's all their fault. If

911
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 3: we win, then it's mine.

912
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,720
Speaker 2: Bet. MGM is the spot for your home run picks.

913
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 2: Why because you get home run base tokens. Activate that

914
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 2: token when you've been on any player to hit a

915
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,760
Speaker 2: homer in any MLB game, If that player hits a dinger,

916
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 2: you got a bigger payout. It's that simple okay gambling

917
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 2: problem more concern called one hundred gambler
