1
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: What's up everybody. Welcome into another edition of Crush City Territory.

2
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm Chandler Room, joined as always by Tyler Stafford. After

3
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: that was something that was that was something that happened

4
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: to Dyke and Park this weekend.

5
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: A A. It'll go down as a split.

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 3: Uh.

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: The Astros come out of it two and two. There

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: were some very very high highs, there were some very

9
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: very low lows, and had a little bit of everything,

10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: had a little bit of everything to frustrate people, had

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of everything to give people positivity. But

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: what more can you ask for from a season opening

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: series that, Tyler's not sustainable to win the way that

14
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: they won on Saturday and Sunday. It's not sustainable for

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: your starters to have a e r A over seven

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: in a four game series.

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: And win two of them.

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: It's not sustainable for your pitching staff to walk twenty

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: eight batters in four innings. But at the end of

20
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: the day, they don't ask how, they just ask how many?

21
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: And the Astros leave this weekend two and two. I

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: guess let's start here. What give me your biggest takeaway

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: from what we just witnessed from these thirty six innings

24
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: that we just watched.

25
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: Biggest takeaway is winning the last two games the way

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 4: that they did by scoring a lot, makes me a

27
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 4: little more confident than in if they had just won

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,559
Speaker 4: two to one, three to two, or you know, something

29
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 4: like that where they just could not score. But seeing

30
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 4: them score runs over the last two games is very

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 4: encouraging because, as we talked about before the season started,

32
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 4: that's really what I'm concerned with over one hundred and

33
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: sixty two game season, and the first two games were

34
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: just dreadful offensively. So the ability to come back and

35
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 4: score twenty runs in the last two games that is encouraging.

36
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 4: There's some negative takeaways certainly that we can we can

37
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 4: get into. You know who rules on defense is camp Smith?

38
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 4: That dude is I can't believe that he was a

39
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 4: third baseman a year and a half ago. That's so crazy.

40
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw, but I saw a

41
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 4: tweet from someone named the Warmongerer, great name, but he

42
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 4: said that camp Smith covered one hundred and thirty seven

43
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 4: feet to snag that foul ball off zach Netto in

44
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 4: the top of the seventh on Saturday night. It was

45
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 4: the first or his first five star catch of the season,

46
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: and according to his search, Smith covered more than any

47
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 4: outfielder did on a catch during all of twenty twenty five.

48
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 4: He's fast, and he can cover a ton of ground

49
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 4: out there.

50
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: He's a gazelle, I think is how I labeled him.

51
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: I think it was that second game Bryce was playing

52
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: center field and they were like converging and Cam just,

53
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: I mean, when he gets going, when he gets ahead

54
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: of steam going, it is really something to watch. And

55
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: I have actually something coming out on the Athletic tomorrow

56
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: morning about how he wants to use that on the

57
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: bases a little bit more about how jo Aspotas said

58
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: this week that he thinks Cam Smith can steal fifteen

59
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: or twenty bases in the big leagues. And this is

60
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: a guy that until I looked this week, I didn't

61
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: realize it. He stole eight bases total in his last

62
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: two seasons at Florida State. This is a guy that

63
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 1: just does like he's never really had to run. He's

64
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: never had to be a menace on the bases because

65
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: he didn't play minor league baseball hardly, and in college

66
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: that's kind of not the point of the college game.

67
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: And plus Florida State was so good that they didn't

68
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: want to, you know, jeopardize who was at the plate

69
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: with running. But it's interesting, it'll be interesting to see

70
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: if he can kind of exploit that on the basis.

71
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: But as far as the offense goes, this is what

72
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: should This is what should excite you. This is what

73
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: you should come out of this feeling pretty good about.

74
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: They drew twenty three walks in four games, which we went.

75
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: You know, they could have gone three weeks at times

76
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: last year and not drawn twenty three walks. So they

77
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: drew twenty three walks. They have a three point fifty

78
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: two team on base percentage, which is good.

79
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: They are.

80
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: I think we saw some in some instances. You saw

81
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: what was missing last year. You saw you saw good

82
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: at bats, you saw you know, long at bats. You

83
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: saw you know, Joe spot was using a different phrase

84
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: to kind of describe it, and Christian Walker did as well.

85
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: You know, they were dictating the at bats. The hitters

86
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: were dictating the at bats instead of the pitchers being

87
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: able to dictate counts, dictate leverage. And you really saw

88
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: it kind of flip after Opening Day and we talked

89
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: about it, you know, Jose Soriano on Opening Day was filthy,

90
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: like they just ran into a really good pitcher having

91
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: a really good day. And then the next three days,

92
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: I think the at bats, even though on Friday they

93
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: only scored two runs, I thought the at bats on

94
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: Friday were pretty good. Just the quality of the at bats.

95
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: They hit some balls right on the nose, right two people.

96
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: It was some poor luck.

97
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: I get it.

98
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: No one wants to hear that because they only score

99
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: two runs, but yes, they I came away pretty encouraged

100
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: with the at bats and the offense this weekend, but

101
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: it is something. It's a sight to behold that they

102
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: scored twenty two runs this weekend and had one home

103
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: run from jord And Alvarez.

104
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, and one that the roof stole, so we'll count

105
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 4: that one too. But I mean, look, when you're designing

106
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: an offense like home runs are obviously what you're going for,

107
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: but if you can score without hitting home run, because

108
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: that's that's also been a problem with the Astras in

109
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: the last couple of years, where they were too reliant

110
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 4: on on that uh and so again to score twenty

111
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 4: two with just one home run. Now, a lot of

112
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 4: that was thanks to some varying degrees of defense from

113
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 4: the Angels. There were there were some infielders that looked unbelievable. Uh.

114
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 4: And then Logan One hopping into the outfield was struggling

115
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 4: back there. And then Jorge Celaire, poor guy. I mean,

116
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 4: he made a great uh diving catch. He made one

117
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: this series, but yikes, he uh he is not a gazelle.

118
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 4: We can put it that way.

119
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: I thought Joey Lo Brafito really gave them a spark.

120
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: And I know, I mean he struck out three times

121
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: on Sunday, I believe, and and but you know Sunday

122
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: he hits a ball into the gap two So Lair

123
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: who that that was perfect scout You knew that that

124
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: guy knew the scouting report because the minute he saw

125
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: that ball going to Solaier out of the box, he

126
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: was thinking too and he never stopped running head down

127
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: through first stretch it to a double. That's the kind

128
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: of athleticism that Joe Aspota wants. And then that eight

129
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: run inning on Saturday, a spot of goes to low

130
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: Brafito for the against a right handed reliever. He comes

131
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: in single through the right side. And again there was

132
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: a ton of other big hits in that inning, but

133
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: just to keep the line moving and to come off

134
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: the bench cold facing a right handed reliever. That's going

135
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: to be the role when a left hander is on

136
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: the mound. When a left hander starts, you're gonna see

137
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: Joey Loperfido a lot get used late in games the

138
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: minute they go to a right handed reliever. So to

139
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: see him come off the bench and do that was encouraging.

140
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, he showed well. I thought Christian

141
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: Walker was. That's about as encouraging a sign as I

142
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: think of anything that happened this weekend. The most encouraging

143
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: thing from the offensive standpoint has to be Christian Walker

144
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: on a couple of fronts. One he's already hit six

145
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: balls in play one hundred miles an hour or harder.

146
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: And then one other thing. And this is going to

147
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: be in a story on The Athletic tomorrow morning as well,

148
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: if you'd like to read about it. Last season, Christian

149
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: Walker got he got one hundred and two pitches thrown

150
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: to him ninety eight miles an hour or harder, which

151
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: was the most on the team by ten. There was

152
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: no other guy on the team that had more than

153
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: ninety two pitches thrown to him ninety eight miles.

154
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: An hour harder. Why did they do that to Christian Walker?

155
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: Because he showed he couldn't catch up to him off

156
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: They often elevated them, they often went up in the

157
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: strike zone, and he just could not catch up to them.

158
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: In this series alone, Christian Walker had two hits off

159
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: of pitches thrown ninety eight miles an hour or harder.

160
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: Talk to him a little bit. He said, it's something

161
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: that is he was cognizant of. He worked on all

162
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: spring training with his bat path. Essentially, if you're watching

163
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: on YouTube, I can try to maybe I can try

164
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: to maybe demonstrate it as he demonstrated it for me. Essentially,

165
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: when Christian Walker has a natural loft in his swing,

166
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,599
Speaker 1: but when his hands come down, he has to uppercut

167
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: to the ball. And when he comes down has to uppercut,

168
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: he gets under all those high velocity fastballs. So what

169
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: he's had to stop himself from doing is getting pushy

170
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: with his hands. He's had to keep a level batpath

171
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: and keep the bat and the barrel through the plane.

172
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: And again, small sample size, you don't want to overreact

173
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: to four games, but the amount of hard contact and

174
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: the amount of times he caught up with hard thrown pitches.

175
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 2: I was very encouraged when I saw Christian Walker.

176
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I said it after opening Day. That swing looked

177
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 4: a lot like Bragman's, just a real short, choppy like

178
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 4: you chopping down on the ball that gets a lot

179
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 4: of those line drives into the gap. And yeah, I

180
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 4: mean that that is very encouraging if you can see

181
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 4: that from Christian Walker, because boy does it lengthen the

182
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 4: lineup to have somebody that you know can hit like

183
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 4: I mean, he hit seventh most of the most of

184
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 4: the series, and you know, came away again four games

185
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 4: into the season, but hitting three h eight, I mean,

186
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 4: making hard contact. Drew a walk today, so yeah, he

187
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 4: looked very good.

188
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: And then last, but not least, jose Al Tuove drew

189
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: five walks in this series. Ye, you can go a

190
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: month and a half of jose Al Twove's stretches and

191
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: not see him draw five walks.

192
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: He drew five walks.

193
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: His fifth walk came in his sixteenth plate appearance of

194
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: the weekend. He didn't draw his fifth walk last year

195
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: until his ninety second plate appearance. How much of that

196
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: is as my social media wanted to tell me how

197
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: much of that is the new hitting coaches getting their

198
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: philosophy two of fifteen year veteran that has been a

199
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: free swinger since the moment he stepped onto a major

200
00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: league field.

201
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: It's probably some of that, is it? Some of that?

202
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: The Angels have a very bad bullpen, It's probably some

203
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: of that as well. But we've seen al Tuve expand

204
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: though against you know, bad pitchers against, like that's kind

205
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: of part of his game. To see him be selective,

206
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: to see him, you know, pass the baton, you know,

207
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: because I mean when he's hitting a lead off, Jordon

208
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: Alvarez is hitting behind him mostly. He hit lead off

209
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: twice this week and Jordon Alvarez was hitting behind him.

210
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: He had clean up in the other two games to

211
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,479
Speaker 1: get it to Korea.

212
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 2: So that was encouraging as well. You know.

213
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: So all that being said, it's hard to envision after

214
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: Opening Day, and especially after you know, Opening Day and Friday,

215
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: that we were gonna be sitting here talking about what

216
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: encouraging signs we saw from the offense. But I thought

217
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: I saw way more encouraging things from them than I

218
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: saw from the pitching staff.

219
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, I mean outside of you know, a

220
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 4: handful of really blueball and tang I would say, outside

221
00:11:55,080 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 4: of that, not not a ton of exciting pitching performances,

222
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 4: But you got three. You clawed back too, which is

223
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 4: you know huge. I mean again, you could see a team,

224
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 4: you know, getting in the whole O two at the

225
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 4: beginning of the season, feeling this weight of you know,

226
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 4: this is kind of the last big year for this core,

227
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 4: and you could see them pressing and I mean they

228
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 4: stormed back in in the last two games, and you

229
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 4: know that's very, very encouraging.

230
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: We'll talk about some of those pitchers right after this

231
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: message from our friends at foul Territory.

232
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 3: Hey, have you hit the age where everything feels a

233
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: little bit more difficult? The Jim yes, but everything like

234
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: energy crashes in the afternoon.

235
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 5: You know, you might have been reading about low T

236
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 5: and you see your doctor about it and they want

237
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: to give you basically shots every week for the rest

238
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 5: of your life. Oh cool, that sounds fun. And then

239
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 5: you dig deeper and you realize what you're signing up for,

240
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 5: and it's three grand a year to shut down your

241
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 5: body's natural production forever.

242
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 2: That is brutal.

255
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 2: Tyler.

256
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: Do we have a common refrain on this show, don't?

257
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: I don't think we say one thing over and over

258
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: again a lot. But if there's something that we said

259
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: pretty regularly the past, you know, six or seven weeks,

260
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: it was paying no attention to spring training stats, and

261
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: if you paid attention to spring training stats, you were very,

262
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: very upset. On both Friday and Sunday watching the two

263
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: Stars of Spring Training testsu Emi struggled.

264
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm not maybe we can get into this. I'm not

265
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: going to go.

266
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: Out and say that Mike Burrows struggled. He was an

267
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: out away from giving you six innings. Yes, he allowed

268
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: five runs, but that was about as unlucky of an

269
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: outing as you can have.

270
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: From the first pitch of the game.

271
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: When Zach Netto hits a ball that is a can

272
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: of corn in any other ballpark, but not in the

273
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: ballpark that Mike Burrows is going to pitch him for

274
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: the next five years. And then just a lot of

275
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: dink and dunk hits. I think thirteen of the eighteen

276
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: balls in play he allowed were not hard hits, so

277
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: hit softer than ninety five miles an hour. You know,

278
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: you look at kind of the XBA of a lot

279
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: of them. I think there were like four or five

280
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: of his hits had an XBA lower than three hundred. Again,

281
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: it's about what's on the scoreboard. He gave up two

282
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: just absolute rockets of home runs. Josh Lowe went opposite

283
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: field into the Crawford boxes, and then Mike Trout, who,

284
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: by the way, Mike Trout's back.

285
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 4: That was good. Good for baseball. When Mike Trout is good,

286
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 4: it is just it is such a joy to watch.

287
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 4: And I am I am glad. I'm not glad that

288
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 4: he decided to be back for a four game series

289
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 4: against the Astros to start a season, But I love

290
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 4: him being back.

291
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: That wasn't even that bad of a pitch. And Mike

292
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: Burrows that was a sinker. That was a sinker, that

293
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: was not a strike, that was in on his hands.

294
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: I think Trout was just sitting or guessing sinker and

295
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: just guessed right. It was one ten off the bat.

296
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: The fact that he can kept his hands and it

297
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: was that quick to get on that ball at one

298
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: hundred and ten miles an hour, that was pretty impressive.

299
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm not maybe as concerned about Burrows as

300
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: maybe the rest of the general fandom and observers were

301
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: after watching him pitch. But you know, look, when you

302
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: when you go almost twenty great fruit beginnings and don't

303
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: give up a run, the expectations for you going into

304
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: your first start are pretty enormous. I don't think any

305
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: of us thought he was going to go do that

306
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: kind of streak to start the season.

307
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: But I guess what did you think?

308
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: Because I left that start just thinking, you know what,

309
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: like that was a lot of poor luck. He probably

310
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: need he needs to find a way to miss more bats.

311
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: He was behind in way too many counts, but that's fixable.

312
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: Stuff.

313
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: This was not a situation where he just got hit

314
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: around and he was getting rockets hit off of him

315
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: around the ballpark.

316
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean the you know, he gave up

317
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 4: a three run homer too, if that you know that

318
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 4: balls a pop up to left field instead of going out,

319
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 4: he gives up two runs over six. You know, so

320
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 4: those things can change really quickly. I thought, you know,

321
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 4: he's still figuring out throwing the sinker. He threw that

322
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 4: just as often as he did his four seemer. And

323
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 4: again that's I know when we talked to him, he'd

324
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 4: thrown one before, but it's it's still a newer pitch

325
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 4: to him. And you know, those things happened. Emi today

326
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 4: could not control his fastball. I mean, just had no

327
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 4: idea where that was going. I didn't see that as

328
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 4: much from Burrows where you know, it wasn't like he

329
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 4: was just laboring like you said, he had some you know,

330
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 4: I had a couple of walks. He struggled a bit

331
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 4: with command, but it was not it was not so

332
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 4: bad that you're just cringing, which is what a lot

333
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 4: of EMA's start today was, which just like, oh man,

334
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 4: he has no clue where this fastball is going right now.

335
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Burrows's command stuff was more. He just put himself

336
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: in bad counts. He yes, it felt like you looked

337
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: up every time and he was too. Two two to one,

338
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: three to one, one oh. And like when you get

339
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: behind in counts like it just it messes up how

340
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: you want to sequence your pitches. It messes up where

341
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: you can throw pitches, because I mean, if you're if

342
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: you're behind an account two.

343
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 2: Oh, you kind of have to come middle.

344
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: And Mike Burrows, while he's got good stuff, he doesn't

345
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: have the kind of stuff that you can just throw

346
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: over the middle and.

347
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: Say, try to hit it, because you will hit it.

348
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 2: They will hit it.

349
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: He's not generally a guy that gets a ton of whiffs.

350
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: Now, he can miss bats.

351
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: He needs to miss more bats than he did on Friday,

352
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: But in general, and he talked about this after the game,

353
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: in general, his his game is quick outs early in

354
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: the count. It's not a Fromber situation where it's all

355
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: pitch to contact, but that's what he likes. He likes,

356
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, working quickly early count outs, efficiency, you know,

357
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: keeping the defense on its toes, things like that. And again,

358
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: when you fall behind in counts, like he did, that's

359
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: impossible to do. So I'm a little I kind of

360
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: chalk Mike Burrows's start up to kind of a one off,

361
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: just you know, I didn't I didn't see anything in

362
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: that start that would sound alarm bells. As far as

363
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: Tedsuita em I goes, I'm not I'm not gonna be

364
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: as gracious with him, but I will say, like for

365
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: everything that surrounded this thing of his first start in MLB,

366
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: the expectations around him, the pressure that he's probably feeling

367
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: as someone that you know, has been wanting to do

368
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: this his whole life, I don't want to say I

369
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: went into this expecting.

370
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: Him to, you know, maybe struggle a little bit.

371
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: But I wasn't really surprised that this one was was

372
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: rough for him.

373
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: You know.

374
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: I think the the the best thing you can say

375
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: for this one with is it's out of the way.

376
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 1: They got it out of the way. They got the

377
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: they got the nerves, they got the firsts, they got

378
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: everything out of the way. But I think it just

379
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: underscores how much of a work in p progress this

380
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: is going to be all season. Because we try to

381
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: talk about it in spring training, but this is a

382
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: franchise that has never had a player, much less a

383
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: pitcher comes straight from a foreign league, comes straight from

384
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: MPB and have to adjust and have to assimilate to

385
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: Major League baseball. And look, they had six weeks in

386
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: spring training and they learned a lot about him there.

387
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: He got to pitch on the mounds, he got to

388
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: throw at the baseballs for six weeks, so he got

389
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: an introduction. But it's a lot different now. The games matter.

390
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: Jobs are on the line, literally and figuratively. You know,

391
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: he's pitching to see if he's going to opt out

392
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 1: of this contract and go get another one. The stakes

393
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: are higher now, and so it opens up a new

394
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: set of challenges. I think it just underscored that this

395
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: is going to be a work in progress, at least

396
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: for the first you know, four or five starts, for

397
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: everyone to get a feel for, like what works, what

398
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: doesn't work, for him to get a feel of the

399
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: talked about after the game of day. The slope of

400
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: the mound is still something he's he's trying to get

401
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: assimilated to. But what'd you think of Emi, what'd you

402
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: think of what you saw today?

403
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 4: The slider's really fun. I enjoy the slider. They called

404
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 4: it a splitter the first time he threw it, because

405
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 4: it moved so little, and it was it was the slider.

406
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 4: Like I said, the main concern was he just couldn't

407
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 4: locate the four seen fastball. So there's a stat called

408
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 4: called strike plus wift percentage, which is exactly what it

409
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 4: sounds like. It is how often a pitch is called

410
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 4: a strike or whift. Imai threw thirty seven fastballs today.

411
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 4: He got fourteen called strikes and whips on them, So

412
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 4: thirty eight percent of the time that he threw a fastball,

413
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 4: he got the result that he was looking for. He

414
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 4: just couldn't he couldn't locate it. I mean, he was

415
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 4: all over the place with that fastball. I don't know

416
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 4: if it's adrenaline, if it's the man, you know, whatever.

417
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 4: But as far as you know, as far as things

418
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 4: to be concerned about it, that seems to me like

419
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 4: a fixable problem of honing in. Hey, you know how

420
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 4: to throw a fastball, you know how to get it

421
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 4: over the plate like start there. What I would have

422
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 4: been way more concerned with is if his slider just

423
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 4: got lit up like I mean, everyone was just tattooing it.

424
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: I mean, Horace Hilaiir did hit the crap out of

425
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 4: one for a for a basis clearing double. Agreed, But

426
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 4: you know, he still was able to throw that. He

427
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 4: got whiffs on almost half of his sliders today, so

428
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 4: I mean, he that would have been a lot more

429
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 4: concerning to me. But you know, I feel confident that

430
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 4: he will remember how to throw a strike with a fastball.

431
00:22:53,520 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 4: And he sat nine six with that fastball pretty good good,

432
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 4: So you know, it's one start. I mean again, everyone

433
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 4: first time through the rotation this year gets to say, well,

434
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 4: look what happened to Paul Skeens, and nothing counts because

435
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 4: you just go like, well, Paul Skeens is really good

436
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 4: and he didn't make it out of the first inning,

437
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 4: so it's fine. It's one start.

438
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: The thing that surprised me about Emi today and I

439
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: understand that that the fastball and slider are like the

440
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: two biggest pitches in his arsenal, the kind of the

441
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 1: bedrock around which his arsenal forms. But he only threw

442
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: seven splitters in three curve balls. He didn't he didn't

443
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: throw a change up. You know, we asked him, I

444
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: asked him after the game, you know, was that part.

445
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 2: Of the plan.

446
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: Did you want to be mainly fastball slider or did

447
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: does things get away from you? And he said, you know,

448
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 1: he said through an interpreter, he said, you know, I

449
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: am a fastball slider predominant pitcher. But he said, but

450
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: I did figure out today that I do need to

451
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: incorporate the change up more, the splitter more, maybe the

452
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: curve Baltimore like. But he did say, he's like, I've

453
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: got to practice those pitches to get them to where

454
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: I feel comfortable throwing them in a game. So again,

455
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: this is going to be a work in progress kind

456
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: of thing, like as he starts to see different big

457
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: league hitters and how they react to certain things and

458
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: how he can pitch in this league.

459
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 2: It's there's going to be.

460
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: Some trial by some trial by fire, some trial and

461
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: error sort of stuff. But for the first time out,

462
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, talking to his teammates, talking to Christian Vasquez,

463
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: who caught him today, Christian Vasquez said he did not

464
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 1: think he was nervous. He talked to him between innings

465
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: and the look in his eye and the demeanor kind

466
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: of he thought he was calm, cool and collected. Emi

467
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: said he was nervous. He said he was a little

468
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: bit nervous, and that may have contributed to some of

469
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: the command issues, and I'm sure it did. Right, Like,

470
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: just by looking at the velocity, you wouldn't think he

471
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: was overthrowing, because if he was out there overthrowing, he

472
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: have probably been like ninety seven and ninety nine. So

473
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: if he was overthrowing, he did a good job of

474
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: hiding it. But again, like every with all of the

475
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: pomp and circumstance kind of associated with today, I'm not

476
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: gonna say I expected him to pitch poorly, but you

477
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: kind of just knew there were gonna be some some

478
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: growing pains and just some some things, some first start things.

479
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: It's like it's like when a rookie comes up and

480
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: makes his debut. It's like when a it's like when

481
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: they call a prospect up to make a spot start

482
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: or make his debut. You kind of know that, look there,

483
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: the first couple innings are probably gonna be whack because

484
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna be their head's gonna be in a hundred

485
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: different places.

486
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: They're going to try to throw.

487
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: It a million miles an hour, and you know that

488
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to relax a little bit. And one

489
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: thing Christian Vaskaz did say is he said that the

490
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: Angels are really passive. He said they didn't swing because

491
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: they've never seen him before, and so they needed to

492
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: stand up there and just get a feel for, like

493
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: what these pitches are doing. So that's why they were

494
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit passive. But I think the one

495
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: thing that should prompt some concern from that is he

496
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: only generated a fourteen percent chase rate from the Angels today,

497
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: and like you said, most of it was on his slider.

498
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: Like his fastball misses were not competitive enough to get

499
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: chases outside of the strike zone. Like, you can be

500
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: wild with your fastball, but if you're wild around the zone,

501
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: you can get teams to expand he wasn't close with

502
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 1: his fastball today and they just were not able. He

503
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: could not get expansion, he couldn't get swings out of

504
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: the zone, and kind of led to that.

505
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: Concerned is no go.

506
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 4: I'm counting through. I don't know if you I don't

507
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 4: know if we've figured out how to share a screen

508
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 4: efficiently here, but I sent you just his baseball savon

509
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 4: strike zone map from today and he missed one two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven,

510
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 4: times above the strike zone with the fastball, like not

511
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 4: competitively above the strike zone. He missed a lot arm

512
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 4: side or as well, so you know, he he just

513
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 4: struggled to locate the fastball. I mean, I think at

514
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 4: the end of I mean, if you look at this,

515
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 4: this spray chart of pitches, I mean, everything is all

516
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 4: over the place. So you know, I again, I think

517
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 4: that's something that he can hone in on and figure out.

518
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 4: I'm I'm confident that he can do that. You know,

519
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 4: he's still he's still got four strikeouts and two and

520
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 4: two thirds. He just gave up four walks too, and

521
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 4: three hits, and obviously you don't want to make a

522
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 4: habit of that. Like I said, it would have been

523
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 4: a lot more concerning to me if he had given

524
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 4: up nine hits in three and like the walks seemed

525
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 4: like something you can fix. But if you're just getting

526
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 4: tattooed on everything tattooed anyway, you know, that would be

527
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 4: more thank you, that would be more concerning.

528
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the reason why I'm not that concerned about

529
00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 1: the command. I mean, his last two seasons in MPB combined,

530
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: he walked three batters per nine innings, and it was

531
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: and that's like a reper that's like over four hundred innings.

532
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: That's not like, that's not a nothing sample sized and

533
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: then Greatfruit League play. That's what Joe Spotty even said

534
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: after the game, like he didn't really know what to

535
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: expect going in, but he said the one thing he

536
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: kind of didn't expect was him to spray the ball

537
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: around the zone because the one thing he did in

538
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: spring training is he threw strikes. And I mean, we

539
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: consider here and say spring training stats don't matter, and

540
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: they don't, but the one like you can take away

541
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: that he was around the strike zone, he threw strikes,

542
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think again, I really think this was

543
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: a scenario where they're just happy that this one's out

544
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: of the way and his next one's probably gonna be

545
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: at cores Field, which good luck. But yeah, but we'll see.

546
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: But I thought I thought as far as look, they

547
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: needed him to get deeper into game, Like the bullpen

548
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: was absolutely in tatters today and then he got and

549
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: then gets eight outs, Like they needed him to get

550
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: deep in the game. And that's what that's kind of

551
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: the balance you're playing here of like you've got to

552
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: give him some leeway You've got to understand that this

553
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: is all new for him, this is all new for

554
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: the Astros, but these games matter now, and you know,

555
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: they can't keep putting the team in this like, like

556
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: we said earlier, this this was an unsustainable way to

557
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: win these two games with the way the pitching lined up,

558
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: with the way they had to run through their bullpen.

559
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: So they need these guys to get deeper into games.

560
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: And Emi is one of them.

561
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: And then I guess, while we're on this subject, Christian

562
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: Javier was that that was not that was that was

563
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: one that I think you should be concerned about. That

564
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: did not look good.

565
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 4: No, uh, you know, the iv B, which is his

566
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 4: calling card for his fastball, still looks roughly the same.

567
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 4: You know, he was sitting ninety two ninety three, but

568
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 4: I mean we we talked about like he's coming off

569
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 4: some intense injuries. He already had fringe stuff. You know,

570
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 4: it's not like he's fallen from ninety eight and now

571
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 4: he's throwing ninety five. He was already ninety three ninety

572
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 4: four and really living on throwing fastballs down the middle

573
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 4: and people swinging under them and popping up, which is

574
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: a scary way to pitch, but it worked for him

575
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 4: for a long time and it did not work at all.

576
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 4: And yeah, that is that is certainly a concern going

577
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: forward because that that is one that you can't chalk

578
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 4: up to, Oh, just make an adjustment and it'll be

579
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 4: you know, that's that's what his stuff looks like. And yeah,

580
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 4: that's that is a concern for sure.

581
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

582
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: Just and again, like like I kind of always with him,

583
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: there were flashes where it looked good.

584
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 2: There were some fastballs that he got by guys and

585
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 2: it was funny.

586
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: Like I joked with him after the game, I said,

587
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: did you feel like Fromber getting three ground ball double

588
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: plays when he's gotten like a total of two in

589
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: the last three seasons.

590
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: He got three ground ball double plays to bail him out.

591
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: But that's even a sign that that's not a good

592
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: sign either, because that just means that they mishit pitches

593
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: that were ripe to be hit. And usually when you

594
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: get Christian Hobvier, when you get mishit a Christian Hobvier pitch,

595
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: it's a lazy pop fly. It's not a it's not

596
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: three ground ball double plays.

597
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 4: So case you're wondering his fifth percentage on his four

598
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 4: seamer and one twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three, when

599
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 4: he was at and even twenty twenty four was all

600
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 4: around twenty seven percent. It was fifteen percent yesterday. So

601
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 4: that's a concern because again he's he it's the invisible

602
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 4: It's I'm gonna throw this fastball down the middle, and

603
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 4: you're just gonna miss it because you don't understand that

604
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 4: this thing isn't breaking the same way that most ass

605
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 4: balls do, and you just get a lot of whiffs

606
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 4: and you get a lot of pop ups and that

607
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 4: that was not happening.

608
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: We will talk about what's next right after this message

624
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 3: good spot to watch the game.

Speaker 5: your account so you can use it later.

635
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 1: So, Tyler, I think, as we discussed, the Angels are

636
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 1: not any good. The Red Sox, however, they are pretty good,

637
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: and they're going to roll in here and pitch Ranger

638
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: Suarez on Monday, Brian Bayo on Tuesday, and Garrett Crochet

639
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. So three tough assignments for an Astros lineup

640
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: that we just talked about.

641
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: What showed some encouraging things.

642
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: Hit twelve doubles, scored twenty two runs, is getting on

643
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: base at a three fifty clip. But the competition's going

644
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: to ratchet up a little bit with facing two lefties.

645
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: Two Crochet and Suarez are lefties, so you're gonna see

646
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: a lot of Bryce Matthews.

647
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 2: You know, I did find it interesting. Did you find

648
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 2: the did you find the outfield.

649
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,280
Speaker 1: Playing time and configurations interesting this weekend?

650
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 4: Yeah?

651
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 3: I was.

652
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 4: It was surprising to me that low Praffito started in center.

653
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 4: Uh you know, and but I mean he's he's been hitting,

654
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 4: so you know you're you're gonna leave him in there.

655
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 2: Yeah.

656
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 4: I mean, like we said, though, they're gonna just figure

657
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 4: out who's who is going to hit. You know, They're

658
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 4: they're going to just put out there because I think

659
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 4: that they believe that all four of the outfielders that

660
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 4: they have, Jordan notwithstanding, but all four of the outfielders

661
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 4: that they have can play all three positions well. And

662
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 4: so they're just gonna move people around until they figure

663
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 4: out what the best version of this lineup is. But

664
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 4: you know, I mean, they they played well defensively, uh, certainly,

665
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 4: but uh yeah, you need to see you need to

666
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 4: see a little bit more from from Jake Myers. Cam

667
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 4: Smith had a rocket today. Uh, he had the hardest

668
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 4: hit ball of the day. Hadn't had much to show

669
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 4: for it yet, but man, he's he's so good in

670
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 4: in right field. Uh, you're you're going to play him

671
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 4: there as often as possible. You want to talk about, Uh,

672
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 4: who played second base today?

673
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Esak Paradis.

674
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: He can do it once and he can do it

675
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: every once in a while.

676
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 2: That's the whole thing. Every every every time.

677
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: We discussed this, I would say it was rival evaluators

678
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: did not believe he could handle it over the course

679
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: of the season. Can he do it once every week,

680
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: once every two weeks, Sure, But throwing running him out

681
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: there daily or even two or three times a week

682
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: at that position is not what you want to do.

683
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 2: And the Ashers are not going to do that, Isak.

684
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 2: You know. I think you saw this weekend. Now.

685
00:35:58,040 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: They were able to do it a little bit easier

686
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: this weekend because Jeremy Panna didn't play in two of

687
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: the four games, so it allowed them some flexibility. So

688
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: I think the real test of whether this everyone gets

689
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: all everyone gets all sensitive when I use the words

690
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: logjam or surplus. So I'm going to introduce a new one, glut.

691
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna go glut from now on. The word of

692
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: the week is glut. We're going to see how they

693
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:24,800
Speaker 1: handle the glut of infielders. Once Paynia is back playing

694
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: on an everyday basis, I think it's going to be

695
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult for this to work. But

696
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: for this weekend it did. You know estok Paratus played

697
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: where did he played? He played first base, he played third,

698
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: he played second, and he DHD So I mean he

699
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: played three different positions. That's how they're going to have

700
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: to get it done. It's not always going to be

701
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 1: that easy because Jeremy Paynya is going to be an

702
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: everyday player obviously.

703
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, they did it.

704
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 4: They did it the way that the best way they

705
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 4: could do it, and I mean he turned a double play.

706
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: It worked.

707
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 4: That lineup is just it's so much more calm with

708
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,919
Speaker 4: parade is in there. There's there's just a breath every

709
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 4: once in a while where Okay, he's coming up, it's

710
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 4: gonna be a good at bat. Something good is gonna

711
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 4: happen here. Even though you know, again he had two

712
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 4: hits today, you know, two big hits today too. But

713
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 4: he just he's such a good patient hitter, and it's

714
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 4: something that this lineup really needs, you know, rubbing off

715
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 4: on altub Altu had two walks today inspired by Parade's

716
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 4: right in front of him. I think we can trye

717
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 4: they had nine walks today. Uh. And and Christian Vasquez

718
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 4: with two RBI and a nice little and a nice

719
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 4: little bunt, you know, playing small ball. Watch out here

720
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 4: they come.

721
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 3: Well.

722
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: Friend of the pod, Jeff Blam I texted him when

723
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: that at bat was coming up, when I forget what's

724
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: I forget who was on base? But I go, you

725
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: hit Matthews here? Help? Yeah, I was like, you hit

726
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: Matthews here? Hell no, you bunt you bunt Vascaz or

727
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: you steal cam and sure enough bunt Vasquez. Blumber knows

728
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: he was talking about mm hmm surprising. I feel like

729
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: people are gonna revolt if we don't talk about Brian

730
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: a brave you. So we can uh we can maybe

731
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: end on that topic. Yeah, he that was talk about

732
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: not encouraging. That was not encouraging either from the astros.

733
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: Closer of the moment will be the closer of the

734
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: foreseeable future, because Dana Brown said, Josh Haters not facing

735
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: hitters until mid April, so that means he may not be.

736
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 2: Back till May.

737
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: But there was some there was some kind of frustration

738
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: about a bray you coming into Saturday's game, the Astras

739
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: led by five runs. He came in in the in

740
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: the ninth inning. I personally, I under I understand the

741
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: thought process. He had not pitched since Monday in the

742
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: exhibition against uh the Space Cowboys.

743
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 2: These relievers usually.

744
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: Need at least to to at least pitch one every

745
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: three or four days. They needed to get him some work.

746
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: And they've got a lead, you might as well. And

747
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 1: he was facing the bottom of the order. It's like, look,

748
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: let him get some work in. And you have to

749
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: have faith in your guy that look put him in

750
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: like he can. He'll do this in fifteen to eighteen pitches.

751
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: He strikes out the first two guys he faces and

752
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: looks nasty doing it, and then he goes walk walk Homer,

753
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: and it's suddenly he's up to twenty six pitches and

754
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: you're wondering about his availability for today. He comes in

755
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: in a safe situation today. The fastball velocity was non existent. Yeah,

756
00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: Joe's spottled it.

757
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 2: That was Joe.

758
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 4: That was shocking to me that he came in today.

759
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not.

760
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 4: Because I feel like at the beginning of the season,

761
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 4: you you try not to go back to back with

762
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 4: your relievers as much as you can, and especially if

763
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 4: you threw twenty six pitches the day before. Uh, it

764
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 4: just it seemed ear. I mean, that's something that you

765
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 4: can do obviously in the season, but to do it

766
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 4: March twenty ninth seemed early to me.

767
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: Well, so that would be the case if we're talking

768
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: about three days in a row, like going three days

769
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: in ear usually and this is just usually that, especially

770
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: an established veteran relievers like like a Bray New like,

771
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: they're fine to go back to back early in the season,

772
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: like they do it in spring training. That's why they

773
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: do it in spring training like that. The like when

774
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: you see Josh Hayter's rehab when he starts on his rehab,

775
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: like the last hurdle he's going to have to clear

776
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: is pitching back to back days in Sugarland. This they

777
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 1: do the same thing in spring training, like the last hurdle.

778
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: Every relieve rest clear in spring training is pitching on

779
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: back to back days. I didn't really have a problem

780
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: with any of the usage. If you're Joe Aspada, like

781
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: you have to trust that. I mean, this guy is

782
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: your closer and he's about to go to free agency

783
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: in six months and wants to get paid like a closer, Like,

784
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: you've got to trust that he's going to come out

785
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: and attack.

786
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 2: And Joe's spota after the.

787
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: Game today, I'm not don't want to like re try

788
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,479
Speaker 1: to put myself in his head. But he was asked

789
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: about Brian A brad you, and he was kind of

790
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: he's kind of mad. He was kind of like issued

791
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 1: a little bit of a challenge, saying like we need

792
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: him to be a bulldog. We need to go out

793
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: there and attack. We need him to go out there

794
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 1: and establish his presence. And and he and he said,

795
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: and while he was giving this answer, he said, you know,

796
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to go talk to him. And because

797
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: the question was about the velocity, and he's like, I

798
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: gotta go talk to him and see. And then I

799
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 1: was one that asked a questions. I said, do you

800
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: think the back to back affected the velocity? He goes, No,

801
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: it shouldn't have and then he kind of went into

802
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 1: this very impassioned answer about you know, we need into attack,

803
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: we need him to be a bulldog. And then as

804
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: we walked in, because so how it works, as Joe

805
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: gives his postgame news conference and then we walk across

806
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: the hall and go into the clubhouse.

807
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 2: We walked in the clubhouse.

808
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 1: And Joe went and grabbed Brian a bray you like

809
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: as we were walking in to bring him into his

810
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,479
Speaker 1: office to have that conversation. So maybe just a little

811
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: bit of a kind of a reset his his mind,

812
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: kind of let's lock it in, let's lock it in

813
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: the season. The season has begun. So I don't think

814
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: they think there's anything wrong with him. Obviously we'll check tomorrow,

815
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: then we'll ask who knows if they'll tell us. But

816
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 1: I don't think they think it's an injury thing. From

817
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: reading between the lines, I think it was just a

818
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: maybe a mindset thing of just he didn't come into

819
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: the day maybe ready to ready to go, and that

820
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: that's a that's that's a problem.

821
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

822
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 4: I don't know how you have a mindset that allows

823
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 4: you to throw three miles an hour slower than usual.

824
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 4: That that seems like even even if you're not in

825
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 4: the right headspace, you should be able to to throw.

826
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 4: That's that's a concern for sure. But yeah, he threw

827
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 4: fourteen pitches today. He got four strikes sitting ninety three

828
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 4: on his fastball. That's scary. So yeah, hopefully the next

829
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 4: time he comes out things look better. What what was

830
00:42:55,840 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 4: the feel of the Rodery Muno's challenge? I saw, I

831
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 4: saw the question asked, what how did it feel in

832
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 4: the room?

833
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: Uh, very less tense than the abrady thing I just

834
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: told you about. Joe was very much like Yeah, I

835
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: got to talk to him like we're just we're not

836
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: going to do that. Like I mean, he made it.

837
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: He made it clear in spring training that they don't

838
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: have a ton of rules.

839
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: For a bs.

840
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 1: I think if you watch the four games this week,

841
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: you know that they don't have a ton of rules.

842
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 2: For the a b s.

843
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: But the one rule that they did have was that

844
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: pitchers are not going to challenge and that was a

845
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 1: tough one to lose because it was in the next

846
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: inning that you know, Parade I think it was Paradis

847
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: ra Altuve had a close had a close pitch that

848
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: they couldn't challenge. Because they didn't have any because they

849
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: didn't have any challenges left. So yeah, I think that

850
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 1: was a yeah, so that was addressed. But they did

851
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: not win an ABS challenge this weekend, so they get

852
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 1: him next time, I guess.

853
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 4: But uh, ABS rules, By the way, that's awesome. I mean,

854
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 4: it's it's great. You saw the video of the Reds

855
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 4: one where two strikeouts back to back were overturned with

856
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 4: the bases loaded, and the crowd's just going nuts.

857
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 2: And it's fast too.

858
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 4: I mean, when when you're in the stadium they tap

859
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 4: the helmet and by the time the umpire makes the announcement,

860
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 4: it's up on the screen that here comes the pitch.

861
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 4: I mean it, it's really quick. I really like it.

862
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 4: But uh yeah, I can't can't be wasting all of

863
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:32,959
Speaker 4: those early in the game, for sure, and especially I mean, look,

864
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,760
Speaker 4: I get at Munos is fighting for a roster spot.

865
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 4: He's he's well aware that he's a Rule five pick

866
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 4: and he's got to stay on here. But uh not

867
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 4: not too encouraging two outings thus far, and especially with

868
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 4: as tax as the bullpen is, like, you already have

869
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 4: to start thinking do we need to make a move

870
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 4: in the next week or so to bring up some

871
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 4: you know, some fresh arms, like what what are you

872
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 4: gonna have to do? And you know that's that's one

873
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 4: on the chopping block.

874
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 2: Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

875
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 2: They are making a move tonight.

876
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: Former aggie Christian Roa was packing his was packing his

877
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: bags in the clubhouse after the game. They did not

878
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 1: announce that he has been optioned. But you don't pack

879
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 1: your Duffel bags and aren't on the phone with the

880
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 1: traveling secretary in the clubhouse after the game if you

881
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: haven't been optioned. So I would imagine there will be

882
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:29,919
Speaker 1: a fresh arm here on Monday in place of Christian Roa.

883
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: My guest would be Jade Murray only because he's on

884
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: the forty man roster and they wouldn't have to make

885
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 1: a forty man move. Peter Lambert, I believe, pitched today

886
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: in sugar Land, So for those that want Peter Lambert,

887
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: I don't think that'll be the case. But Jade Murray

888
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: could be that guy, could be Logan van Why, like

889
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: it's all the guys that you've heard. So I would

890
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:52,400
Speaker 1: imagine that there will be a fresh arm here on

891
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: Monday because Christian Roa was packing his bags after the game.

892
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: AJ blue Ball continues to be a revelation. Just six

893
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: outs on twenty pitches today just made it look effortless.

894
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: Brian King through some Brian King cleaned up, Brian and

895
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: Brad who's mess today through?

896
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 2: Well?

897
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: I mean so there again, Like I think we said

898
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: this in one pod, like the first week of the

899
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: season's about setting bullpen rolls. The first couple of weeks,

900
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: like figuring out who you can trust in what leverage spots.

901
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: You know, AJ blue Ball is putting himself in a

902
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 1: position to where he can be He's gonna be trusted

903
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: in some big spots.

904
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 2: Brian King.

905
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: We knew that Kaiwai Tang pitched very well in relief

906
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: for Christian Hovier in that multi inning role, so some

907
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: guys stood out, but a pitching staff like look. And

908
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: it's got to set the tone with the starters, right

909
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: like the bullpen through eighteen and the third innings this weekend,

910
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: like yeah, in four games, that can't happen, Like the

911
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: starters have got to get them.

912
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 2: Deeper into games.

913
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: And it was eerily reminiscent, and no one wants to

914
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: hear this. It was eerily reminiscent of twenty twenty four

915
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,320
Speaker 1: when they started, when they had the twelve and twenty

916
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 1: four start, and every game it just seemed like the

917
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: starter was out by the third inning and they were

918
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: running the bullpen unto the ground. But they lost more

919
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: of those games than they won. The fact that they

920
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: were able again, the fact they were able to split

921
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 1: this series. With how everything went, I think they should

922
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: come away, you know, excited about that, as much as

923
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: you can get excited about a split. But as we mentioned,

924
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: the Red Sox are coming to town and that will

925
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: be a much tougher assignment that begins on Monday, and

926
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: we will have all of the takes and all of

927
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: the reactions afterward. But until then, you can follow me
