He's 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: hopefully he's getting his MVP candidate shortstop back. 3 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 2: I mean you can hear the cage in the backgrounds 4 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 2: clear water.

I I thank god it When I 13 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 3: left at five in the morning, I checked the weather 14 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 3: and I happen to bring my foul territory get a 15 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 3: foul territory shop dot com, uh hoodie, and I put 16 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 3: pants on because it would have been there would have 17 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 3: been a lot of cold legs if I did not 18 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 3: put on. But yeah, so I was just in the cage. 19 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 3: J Rowl, Ryan Howard, Charlie Manuel, we're in there. We're 20 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 3: talking hitting Kevin Long, who will not come on the show. 21 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 3: By the way, and I've asked him a million times. 22 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 3: I love you, k long. Uh, we're in there. We're 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 3: all talking hitting, so right by the cage like we 24 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 3: were last year. They've changed some things here, Cratzy, since 25 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 3: you were here. They got this brand new food tent 26 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 3: which smells delicious. So I would love to go in there. 27 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 3: But listen, Phillies are strong. Philly's event strong and had 28 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 3: the PA meeting. Tony Clark was here, Bruce Meyer was 29 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 3: here this morning. So it's been a good morning so 30 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 3: far to catch up with some guys. 31 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: Good. I love that. Yeah, we'll have some combos. We will, 32 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 2: we will have some combos. Big day for you too, Kratz. 33 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: Mister Philly, this is your spot. 34 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: I'm at home. I'm in the cold North. I'm in 35 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: the cold North. It's probably the same degrees as it 36 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: is in in Florida right now. 37 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: So what do you call them? You know how you 38 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: called the Mets a third place team? What do you 39 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: call the Phillies. 40 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I'm am I supposed to 41 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: say what they're gonna what spot they're gonna be? 42 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 2: I mean, are they a first place team in the 43 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 2: division or a second place team? 44 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think it's a toss up between 45 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: the two of them. I really think it's who stays 46 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: healthier throughout the season. I do what. 47 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: I think it's the Phillies. Man, I'm surprised. 48 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 3: Me too, Me too, Me too. 49 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 2: This is a regular season first place team in my mind, 50 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 2: based on how they're built. 51 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: I'm a fan. 52 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: But here's my man, here's my pick. I could care 53 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: less and I'll pick whoever ends up. You know, I'll 54 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: pick my pick, my AL East rankings or my n 55 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: L East rankings. But I think the Phillies get it done. 56 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: I think they push it across the line this year 57 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: and they win. 58 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: The World Series. Wow, okay, hey, they're all in. 59 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 3: Listen, this is it right. I mean, you got some 60 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 3: free agents at the end. You got Sharver, you got 61 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 3: jt Is a free agent. There's some free agents. They 62 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 3: lost a couple guys this year often for example, A 63 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 3: stev Is left at the end of their team last year. 64 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 3: So they're all in. The Phillies want to win. John 65 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 3: Middleton wants to win. The Phillies wanna win with this group, 66 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 3: and this is they're gonna go for it. 67 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: Oh well, perfect segue for me, because there's one team 68 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 2: that does not care about winning. Not the players not 69 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: the players, the owner. Let's hit, We'll charge the mound action. 70 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: This one's got spice charging. Justin Turner had a nice 71 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: finish to last season, which ended up earning him a 72 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: one year, six million dollar contract with the Chicago Cubs. 73 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: He wanted to stay in the Pacific Northwest. He loved 74 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: the vibes there, obviously, he loved watching that pitching staff. 75 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: He connected with the fans, and he played well. He 76 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: hit well there. Aj he unloaded on really ownership there 77 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 2: to Bob Nightingale. So there's an article out now, and 78 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: there are so many good quotes. Wait, wait, so I'm 79 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: not the only one that goes after Mariner's ownership. Okay, good, 80 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: just checking, just making sure that there are other humans 81 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: that think this situation is absurd and the most frustrating 82 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 2: in baseball right now, So you're seeing some on the screen. 83 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: I'll read a few for you and then we'll get 84 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 2: thoughts from our players. Quote. The fact that they missed 85 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 2: the playoffs by one game and didn't go out and 86 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: add an impact batter too, when you have the best 87 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: pitching staff in baseball just seems absurd to me, honestly, 88 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 2: as much as I wanted to be back there. If 89 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: I was the only piece they brought back in, I 90 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 2: would be saying the same thing, what the hell are 91 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: we doing? Are you trying? There's not going to be 92 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 2: a better time to go for it, So I don't 93 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: know what they're doing. I'm very confused. It's a head 94 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: scratcher for me, and I'm just taking more and more 95 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: quotes here. These are lines that are mixed throughout the article. 96 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: JT said, I told them several times this offseason, you 97 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: have a unicorn of a pitching staff. This might be 98 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: the best five starting pitchers in the history of the game. 99 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: That can be debated, but still, this is one hundred 100 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: and forty nine of one hundred and sixty two starts 101 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: that last year from five guys aj with a three 102 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 2: to four to ozho Era. JT said, I thought Alonzo 103 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 2: would be a slam dunk. How could you go after him? 104 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 2: He goes, are you kidding me? And then I'll finish 105 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 2: with this. He said he thinks that Jerry Depoto catches 106 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: a bad rap for a lot of the trades and 107 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 2: how crazy some of the trades have been, But he said, 108 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 2: being a part of it, I kind of understand. He 109 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: doesn't have any money to spend, so he's got to 110 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: create money, Like, okay, is it really Jerry's fault? And 111 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: he alluded to the Kendall Graveman trade a few years back, 112 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 2: and he's going, I'm thinking, what in the world is 113 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: this trade? But he said, you probably need to trade 114 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: guys during that season just to be able to spend 115 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 2: money in the next off season, which is nuts. 116 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 3: You know what, the best part of this article was 117 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: besides all the quotes, but this quote stands up out 118 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 3: to me more than anything. As much as I wanted 119 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 3: to be back there, and if I was the only 120 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 3: piece they brought back in, I would be saying the 121 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 3: same thing, what the hell are we doing? Are you trying? 122 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: That's a veteran guy knowing where he's at in his 123 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: career and understand he wanted to be back there, and yes, 124 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 3: could he help that team win? He thinks absolutely, But 125 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 3: what does he think they need more? They need more offense, 126 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 3: they need more power, they need more speed, they need 127 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 3: more just everything on the offensive side of the ball. 128 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 3: And so for him to be that self conscious and 129 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 3: self aware to say with that and then to back 130 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 3: it up with these other quotes, incredible interview. And by 131 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: the way, my hat is on backwards, but I'm gonna 132 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 3: tip my hat to you Justin Turner for saying what 133 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 3: Scott Brown has been saying for almost two years now. 134 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: Way to go, JT, Way to go, Way to just 135 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 3: say what you feel and say it with your chest. 136 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 3: As Krat says, awesome interview and great job by Bob, 137 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 3: and by Justin Turner. 138 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I feel like JT must 139 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: be watching the show because everything he said is exactly 140 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: what we've been saying on this show. I also think 141 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: that Mariner's pitching staff has an easy Slam Dunk T shirt. 142 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: Every pitcher gets a T shirt with a Mariner's symbol 143 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: and a unicorn on it. Like I feel like when 144 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: a guy says this, I want to hit on what 145 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: AJ said about the fact that he's like, what are 146 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: we doing if I'm the only person doesn't mean just 147 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: Turner doesn't think he's a good player. It just means 148 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: that they have an opportunity that they have squandered, and 149 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: another offseason has gone by where they squandered it again. 150 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: I want to just clear this part up too. Most 151 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 2: players apparently were asked about it, they shrugged it off JP. 152 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 2: Crawford said, that's not our job. I know the fans 153 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: are mad at certain people, but they're taking it out 154 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 2: on all of the players. I don't really get that 155 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 2: nobody is taking it out on the players. I just 156 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: want to make that clear, FTFAM.

Get after at FTFAM. Continuing on Seattle, I 178 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 2: mean JT's right, Pete Alonzo, oh my gosh, add him 179 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: to that mix when they needed a first baseman. Of course, 180 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 2: that would have been awesome. They're not spending anywhere close 181 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 2: to that. That's why the last couple off seasons. But 182 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 2: when fans are sending us ideas for who the Mariners 183 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 2: can acquire ninety five percent of them, I'm like, they 184 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 2: they're not spending like that. Their ownership has made it clear. 185 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: It's insane. Right, We're talking about two different cases here. 186 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: I mean we're talking in Phillies Camp today where they 187 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 2: go all out. John Middleton is one of really the 188 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 2: dream owners in our game, and then John Stanton, who's 189 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 2: the owner of the Mariners, the majority owner or whatever. 190 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 2: He's the control guy. I mean, he just doesn't care. 191 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: And props to JT because he's in that point in 192 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: his career. But crats just echo what I said. Please 193 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 2: if you agree, nobody's going after Mariners players. Sure there 194 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: might be some frustration, and you know last year that 195 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 2: they're not hitting as well, But Mariners fans are pissed 196 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 2: at one place, right, and that's ownership slash some front office. 197 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 2: They are not mad at the players. I mean, that's 198 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: a super superstar cast of starters. He gave a ton 199 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 2: of credit to cal Riley to and how damn good 200 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 2: he is in the game as well. 201 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: I think some ownership would probably say, well, one player 202 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: doesn't win you a championship. You're right, one player doesn't. 203 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: But the five dudes you have in your starting rotation 204 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: and the bullpen that you just keep churning over and 205 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: it's the same dudes, they are just legit lights out. 206 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: They do win you a championship. And you already have 207 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: studs up the middle. Cal Raley, JP Crawford and Hollo 208 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: Rodrigez all up the middle. You did a good job, 209 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: just supplement it. Nobody's mad at the players. Yes, you 210 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: want them to do better, but that's just when you 211 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: look at the scoreboard and you see him hitting two ten, 212 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: you're mad at ownership. The ownership is where the anger 213 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: is at, and it should be. And to me, I 214 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: think it's a travesty that two years ago they got 215 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: an All Star Game and they don't spend like it 216 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: should be some type of mandate, like, hey, you want 217 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: an All Star game, you gotta show us you're putting 218 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: trying to put a competitive team on the field, not 219 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: just oh well, your name came up on the wheel 220 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: of haven't had an All Star Game for a while, 221 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: so that's what we'll give it to you now. I 222 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: think there should be just more things tied to competition. Competitive. 223 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: Yes, middle of the pack payroll about one fifty ish mill. 224 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: Nobody's asking you to have two hundred plus every year. 225 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 2: But these are the years that you should have done it. 226 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: You would have made more money if you won a 227 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 2: World Series. 228 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: Oh forever. 229 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 2: So frustrating, Leo. What do we have some weird ones 230 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 2: we're hitting this week? Why not futures number of NL 231 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 2: West teams to make the playoffs? If you need a 232 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 2: reminder on who's in the NL West, the Dodgers, the Padres, 233 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 2: the Giants, the Diamondbacks, and I think the Rockies are 234 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 2: still there. I've heard that they still have a pulse. 235 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 2: So one two, three four two is by far the leader, 236 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: and it makes sense to me. 237 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: It makes a lot of sense. And as Scott says, 238 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: not everybody can Not everybody can be an over, not 239 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: everybody can be an under. So we said yesterday that 240 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: I thought three teams make it from the East. This 241 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: lines up perfectly for me to get a minus one 242 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: twenty five for two teams. I might not touch it 243 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: because I don't like the value that I'm getting there. 244 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: But there's a guaranteed one team. But is it just one? Though? 245 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: I think it's a Diamondbacks. I think I think the 246 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: Diamondbacks are gonna be a clear NL favorite here. Unfortunately 247 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: they're going to get second place in their division. 248 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I still like the Padres too, So plus one 249 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 2: ninety on three teams is not crazy. That's where I 250 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 2: would spend a little DOS on something like this. I'm 251 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 2: not going minus money place over here. So anyway, foul 252 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 2: is the code to use on betmgm dot com or 253 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 2: at the betmgm app. Of course, the code foul gets 254 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: you up to fifteen hundred dollars back in bonus bets 255 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: if you don't win your first bet when you sign up, 256 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: got a deposit at least ten bucks into that account. 257 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 2: Gambling problem or concern called when in hundred gambler here 258 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 2: come back to Kratz and I for a moment. I 259 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 2: want to remind everyone about something. So next week FT 260 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 2: takes the spring training tour to Arizona for the first time. 261 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 2: We've had many questions about the schedule. Yes, so I 262 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 2: want to keep reminding everyone these next couple of days 263 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 2: because people are confused, and that's fair. But also we 264 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 2: are lining up the show with player schedules. Usually the 265 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 2: show all years one o'clock Eastern time, last couple of 266 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 2: weeks we're doing it at eleven Eastern time so we 267 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: can talk to players. I've heard Kyle Schworber. He's going 268 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 2: to join us next by the way, and he'll make 269 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 2: his FT debut next week one pm Eastern time. Back 270 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,079 Speaker 2: to one. Why because if the show is at eleven 271 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: Eastern time, it would be two damn early in Arizona, 272 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 2: and everyone would be cranky, including the players, and they 273 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: wouldn't join us. 274 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: So and in you, and including you, I would cranky. 275 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 2: Yes, I'm still TBD if I'm going to be in 276 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: Arizona or not for other reasons, but either way I 277 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: would be cranky about it. So I'm very happy that 278 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 2: it's one o'clock. The week after that back to eleven 279 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: as we'll be back in Florida for training camps. All right, Kratz, 280 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: let's hit. A few injuries suck. Just during the break. 281 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 2: We hadn't talked about Gunner Henderson well, Intercostal. It's a 282 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: little strain. Hopefully we'll be ready for opening day. This 283 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 2: was actually cover at length on Fair Territory today too 284 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 2: with Ken and Alana, so if you want to check 285 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 2: that show out right after this one, do it. They 286 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: talked about Christian Walker's oblique issue, which we covered yesterday, 287 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 2: but Brandon hyde O's manager very hopeful that he'll be 288 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: ready for opening day and that he is improving. Obviously, 289 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 2: you want to take your time on this one, Kratz. 290 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 2: The one thing that comes to mind is if you 291 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 2: really want the division, everything's going to count. The Yankees 292 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 2: are going to be right there with them. I think 293 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: the Red Sox are going to be a much better 294 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 2: ball club this year too, so even the Blue Jays 295 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 2: are going to be a much better team. A few 296 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: days not going to make too much of a difference, 297 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: but the division could come down to a few games a. 298 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: Few days in spring training is going to make a 299 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: big difference. The games in March, and I think there's 300 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: two for each team in March are exactly the same 301 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: value as the games in September. The end of September. 302 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: So I'd saying I'm very hopeful. Well, yeah, he's hopeful. 303 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: He's hopefully he's getting his MVP candidate shortstop back. Now, 304 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: if he would have said I'm very very optimistic that 305 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: he's ready for opening Day, that would be different. Intercostal 306 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 1: is a little bit different than an oblique, but it's 307 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: in the same it's in the same same genosphere, it's 308 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: in the same like you just got to make sure 309 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: everything's moving around. Okay, you know at his age he'll 310 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: recover quickly, but you just don't want you don't want 311 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: obliques to linger because there's a dude that's gonna be 312 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: out there one hundred and sixty two games and you 313 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: can't just like kind of play through an oblique or 314 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: an intercostal. You gotta let it heal completely and then 315 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: you're ready to go. 316 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 2: And one other quick one. Jordan Walker inflammation left need. 317 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 2: Sounds like they'll stop him for a week and then 318 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 2: ramp him back up. Apparently he kind of stepped on 319 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 2: a sprinkler out in the outfield. I'm like, what, why 320 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 2: is that a thing? They don't have him like completely underground. 321 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was on a backfield or 322 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: what it was. Maybe they need some upgrade, maybe the Cardinals. 323 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: Maybe the Cardinals need to upgrade their stadium. They're sprinklers 324 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: in the outfield. I mean the sprinkler system' don't don't 325 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: get a Twitter. Sprinkler systems are not like they used 326 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 1: to be where it's like this like huge unit that 327 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: comes up out of the ground. No, but if there's 328 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: some inflammation in that knee, this is a big dude 329 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: meeting him in person when I was in the clubhouse 330 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: and in Jupiter the other week last week, Big dude, 331 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: you need the knees just to stay together. 332 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's had a struggle to start his career. All right, 333 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 2: here we are. We have a little Roco Baldelli behind 334 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 2: the scenes speech to his ball club in the Twins clubhouse. 335 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 2: So that's not yet. We're going to run that soon though, 336 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 2: in ten seconds, I'll run that. But this is the 337 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 2: speach that AJ always asks managers before they get to 338 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 2: spring training. What's going to be the speech. What are 339 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: you saying this time around when you're the twins right, 340 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 2: and you're like, we thought we were going to get 341 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 2: sold to these billionaires, but we weren't. So we are 342 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 2: somewhere they were the. 343 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 3: White Sox instead Twins fans. 344 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 2: That's true, all right, we have the clip, all the 345 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 2: work matters. Your families are on the field, everybody's celebrating. 346 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 2: You've got parades. I've never had parade. 347 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 3: I want to prede. 348 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 2: Okay, the community will forever be indebted to you, forever. 349 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: They can love you. I want to give our community again. 350 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 3: Not wrong, I'm freezing. Look at me. This is about 351 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 3: how cold I was when we won the World Series 352 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 3: and had the parade, except I was kind of drunk, 353 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 3: so I wasn't as cold. 354 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 2: Great for graded, how was that? 355 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 3: It was the best experience of your life? I'm telling 356 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 3: you right now, there's other than you know, marriage, kids, 357 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 3: that whole deal. 358 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: The speech, the speech, The speech was solid. 359 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 3: Trust me, that was a good speech. I want to parade. 360 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 3: You know what. I want to parade to Rocco. So 361 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 3: let's go get a parade. Every team wants to how 362 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 3: many Phillies guys that we had here crats and say 363 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 3: I want to win the World Series right everyone. Bryce 364 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 3: was just I just talked to Bryce. What does he want? 365 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 3: Win a World Series? Strong? Boom? Kyle Schwarver's done it. 366 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: You know what? 367 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 3: He wants another parade? Why? Because it's awesome. 368 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: I'll give it a seven. He had a cheat sheet. 369 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: He was going. He had the paper and he was like, 370 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: he just wanted to make sure he didn't miss. I'll 371 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: give it a seven. He hit the right hit the 372 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,640 Speaker 1: right buttons. The boys are going to be fired up, but. 373 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 2: M okay coming up next? 374 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 3: Hold on, I'll say it ain't football scot so like, 375 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 3: you can't be all fired up. There's seven months to go. 376 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 3: So like, remember that speech other than the video that 377 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 3: it was because I I can't tell you one thing. 378 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 3: There's only one speech of an opening manager I ever remember, 379 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 3: and it was Ozzy Gan and I can't say what 380 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 3: he said because it involves some things. That's only one 381 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:09,919 Speaker 3: I ever remember. 382 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 2: There's a hot corner time. The Portland Diamond Project formed 383 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen and they're still working hard. They unveiled renderings. 384 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: Now those are renderings. Okay, that's on the Willemette River 385 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 2: hopefully any Portland, Oregon people are judging me and saying, 386 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 2: either great job, you nailed the pronunciation, or you botched it. 387 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 2: I guess I'll learn more if they get a team. 388 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 2: But it's between two bridges. The backdrop is super sick. 389 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 2: There's public support, there's politician support, which is always a trip. 390 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 2: There's a three and a half year window for them 391 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 2: to buy property at what's called Zidell Yards. And we 392 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,479 Speaker 2: don't know who the big money person behind the scenes 393 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 2: is yet, but there's some unknown own financier. It's some 394 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 2: anonymous person that could purchase the land if they end 395 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 2: up getting the team. And there's a thirty two thousand, 396 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 2: thirty two thousand seat stadium. I was like, what's the 397 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: word seat stadium with a retractable glass roof. I mean 398 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 2: that looks good, a j that's a good look there. 399 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: I mean, we saw renderings from Vegas, the Armadillo Action. 400 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: That's how you do renderings right there. 401 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 3: Maybe the A's might actually end up in Portland instead 402 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 3: of Vegas, because I still haven't seen a shovel in 403 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 3: and ground yet. I know this, if they want a team, 404 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 3: they better get the A's or they you know, they 405 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 3: say they have a guy behind a finance seer, which 406 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 3: is a fancy word for seeing a guy with a 407 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 3: lot of money, a person with a lot of money. 408 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 3: But the financier if he wants an expansion team, and 409 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 3: they better have about five billion in their pocket ready 410 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,880 Speaker 3: to go, which is a lot of money. But good 411 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 3: luck Portland. And if they don't name them the Portland Pickles, 412 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 3: because they do have a team called the Portland Pickles, 413 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 3: I would be very disappointed. 414 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 2: The Portland Pickle is famous for going viral and google 415 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 2: him if you need more help there. But anyway, five billion, 416 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 2: I mean I think the relocation fiatat is going to 417 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:13,680 Speaker 2: be about half that. No, in the. 418 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 3: Twos yeah, but then you got yeah, but then you 419 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 3: got to build a stadium, and you got to do 420 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 3: the minor leagues and there's a whole bunch of stuff. 421 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 3: So it's you're looking at about five billion. 422 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: Hmm, okay, as much as as much as two things. 423 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: We don't want to give away who that financier is 424 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: because we don't want the Orlando group to steal that 425 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: financier from Portland. But we also don't want Vegas to 426 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: understand that they put a rendering out there where the 427 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: sun is not setting in center field of the stadium. 428 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: So don't don't show all your renderings because I know 429 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: Vegas probably has some really really nice renderings and Fishers 430 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: got it all figured out. 431 00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 2: Insert sarcasm and just for your PSA for fans that 432 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 2: haven't consumed us talking about this situation, we are not 433 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 2: knocking Vegas by any means. We go there frequently, we 434 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 2: like it. We are knocking the group that's trying to 435 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 2: go there because they are stupid for a lack of 436 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 2: a better term. But in all seriousness, AJ, it's super impressive, right. 437 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: It sounds like they've got money, they've got public support, 438 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 2: they've got an awesome looking setup there near the water 439 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 2: with the backdrop. The question is when MLB does eventually expand, 440 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 2: and let's say the A's do end up in Vegas. 441 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 2: To me, it's a heavyweight till it's Portland versus Utah. 442 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 2: They are both not going to get an expansion team, 443 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 2: and if they both have availability at that point because 444 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 2: the A's didn't end up in Vegas, one team is 445 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 2: going to land you on the whatever Manfred calls it, 446 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 2: west side of the country. Remember when he said, yeah, 447 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 2: they're going to be west so Utah or Portland. 448 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 4: I played in Utah, so I'm gonna side for Utah 449 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 4: because I loved playing in Salt Lake City, So I mean, 450 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 4: other than it was Triple A, but it was a 451 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 4: great city to play and the fans are amazing, the stadium, 452 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 4: the views are awesome. 453 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 3: So I mean, I'm gonna lean towards Utah. But what 454 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 3: do I know. I also have been to Portland, had 455 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 3: a great time in Portland. 456 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 2: By the way, Hey, I know that guy. 457 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 3: That guy, I've heard of him before. 458 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 2: So Bryce Harper future Portland pickle, He's not a billion 459 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 2: year deal expansion. 460 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 3: Draft Salt Lake, Salt Lake my fly for Bryce, Vegas 461 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 3: Vegas guy. 462 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 2: That's right. But what do you think Kratz to try 463 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 2: and take out any bias, Like where do you actually 464 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 2: think baseball would end up? First? Portland, Oregon, Salt Lake City, Utah? 465 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: Because of what I've heard about Portland, I have to 466 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 1: lean towards Portland. They already have, you know, they have 467 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: a rendering. I guess, you know, I don't know. I 468 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: don't know. I would if I were to pick a city, 469 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: I would pick Portland. And I also like it based 470 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: on the fact that now Seattle, when you're in Seattle, 471 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: you're not traveling two and a half hours from Seattle 472 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: to your next game. That travel can wear on guys, 473 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: and you'd have more of a close proximity there. It's 474 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: right on the coast. I just I I would say 475 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: Portland wins it. 476 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 2: And just to be clear, if there's no other relocation 477 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 2: to me, it is a Portland versus Salt Lake City matchup. 478 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:51,119 Speaker 2: West East looks like Nashville and something Carolina related. Yeah, Riley, 479 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 2: Charlotte versus Nashville and Nashville's not a lot. They were 480 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 2: or they looked like one for a while. But it 481 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 2: would have more to with the fact that MLB is 482 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 2: not getting everything it wants from the city, not that 483 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: the city can't handle baseball. They would love to have baseball. 484 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 3: So Slick City all the way, Slick City all the 485 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 3: way on the West coast. I'm just saying I'm biased, 486 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 3: but Slick City. 487 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 2: Baby, you're not going to get two on one side 488 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 2: or two on the other side. I just want to 489 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 2: be clear on that one. They're going to split it 490 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 2: up that way, and there also probably is going to 491 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 2: be massive re alignment. It's going to piss a lot 492 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 2: of people off. But anyway, if you're catching this later on, 493 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 2: let us know your thoughts. But great job by the 494 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 2: Portland Diamond Project in terms of putting out some cool 495 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 2: public renderings and work there and at least doing the 496 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 2: homework to try and make a bid for a team 497 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 2: when one does become available. The expansion from MLP crats ads, 498 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 2: thank your phills here did we did well today?

Did you play for the Rais for 559 00:28:58,680 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 3: like a second? 560 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: I did number six, number six of your programs, number 561 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: one in your hearts. 562 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 3: I'll tell Kevin Cash you said, Hi. 563 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: The thing with the. 564 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 2: Rays is they're probably the highest turnover team over the 565 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 2: past at least decade. Right, it's just what they do. 566 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 2: There's been a little less of that, not really. Actually 567 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 2: they sold it the deadline and got rid of everyone again, 568 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 2: so they are the turnover team. They also are a 569 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 2: top five team in the past couple decades I think 570 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 2: on win percentage something around that range. So give them 571 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 2: credit for the success, although they haven't won a World Series. 572 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 2: But with all that being said, AJ, there's not many 573 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 2: names that you can throw out to current players and 574 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 2: be like, oh, member, so and so. Nobody's good at 575 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 2: history lessons there because you don't get the connectivity from 576 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 2: one player being there for a long time and passing 577 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 2: the torch to another. I guess you had that with Longo, 578 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 2: but it's a team that doesn't have a lot of 579 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: that overall. 580 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: It was supposed to be Franco soon. 581 00:29:58,960 --> 00:29:59,479 Speaker 2: It was. 582 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 3: Now it's cam Andero. 583 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: Now it's going to be and it was David Prisom. 584 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Blake Snell, Chris Archer, some of those guys 585 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: but none of them were there ten years. 586 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 3: Yandy, I mean, Yandi's been there for a while. 587 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: Now, maybe four years, but no long term extension. And 588 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: you're like, I'll just wait till his jersey gets sold 589 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: in Ross on the discount shelf, and I'll get it 590 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: after they trade him. Uh. 591 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 2: All right, So coming up next Dodgers territory. You've got 592 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 2: Alana in Clint and yes, Dodgers fans will be at 593 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 2: that camp on Monday. Like AJ mentioned, he's visiting his 594 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 2: old stomping grounds on Thursday to talk to the White 595 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 2: Sox and there will be other teams we visit on Tuesday, Wednesday, 596 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 2: and Friday to be announced later. We will see you 597 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 2: Manyana at Ray's camp.
