1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Brent Rooker is very good on Twitter slash x. He's

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: at camp and he said a few reminders for everyone

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: as guys start reporting to camp. One, no one in

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,319
Speaker 1: the locker room carries it all. If you show up

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: with your stuff in your old team's bag, cough cough.

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to add this part, Luke Weaver moving over

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: from the Yankees to the met showing up at the

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: Yanks bag, which our show jokes about all the time.

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 1: And then it's funny how that played out. Number two,

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 1: I want to do both. Number two, it is pretty

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: much physically impossible to gain quote, fifteen to twenty pounds

12
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,319
Speaker 1: of muscle, not weeight of muscle in four months of

13
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: off season training. And that is I will say I

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: can't be the expert on most things. I will say

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: that is essentially true. Fifteen to twenty pounds Todd Father

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: in four months easy, fifteen to twenty pounds every is

17
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: considered lean muscle near impossible without help, significant help, illegal help.

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: So anyway, what do you think of those two little

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: nuggets from Ruck?

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: That's great, fantastic.

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 3: I would have loved the game fifteen to twenty pounds

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: where there was more more mush than it was of gush.

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: You know.

24
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's a big moment because the only reason

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: it's a big problem not a problem. It's funny to

26
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: see him with the Yankees gear because he's if he

27
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: went from Yankees to Milwaukee. It's everybody he went to

28
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: the Mets marking the Yankee bag. That's why it's a

29
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 3: big thing. I think it's funny you laugh about it,

30
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: but people are like, oh man, he still misses the Yankees.

31
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: Now.

32
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: I just think that's the only big bag he had,

33
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: and those bags are very good of storing things before

34
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 3: you get the spring training. So yeah, in the Yankee

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: met world it's a big thing, but anywhere else it's.

36
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 2: Not that big.

37
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Kratz looks like he's going to bring show and tell.

38
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: There's his Yankee bag. Before we get to Trevor May's

39
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: thoughts on this. He did this on May Day. There's

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: the Phillies bag. They are beautiful Krats, I mean not.

41
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: Some fans that care about this stuff are really perturbed.

42
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: There's another beautiful Yankee bag. They think that once you

43
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: join a different army, you should not be wearing your

44
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend's stuff. Just using analogies, they're like, I see

45
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: your Brewers won. They're great, but krats My question to you,

46
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: fans want to know they're like number one players are rich,

47
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: many of them right, not the league? Mean, guys, we

48
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: can have that discussion. But Luke Weaver has money, right,

49
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: he could get a bag to bring a camp so

50
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: that it's not this number two. A team could send

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: them a bag in advance. That's like the two somewhat

52
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: okay arguments that a fan throws out there. Now, that's

53
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: if you care. Do I care about day one? That happening? No,

54
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: we talk about this all the time, but fans want

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: an answer to that. Why can't you just get rid

56
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: of the noise and bringing a bag from day one?

57
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 4: It's only noise because they're making it noise because Keith

58
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 4: went on you know is New York radio station and

59
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 4: made it noise. And then fans clap because they're jealous

60
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 4: of a different organization, all that stuff, like you have

61
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: your bag. Hey, I'm going to the field today, what

62
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: am I gonna take? I'm gonna take my Brewers bag.

63
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, but you're playing for the Rays. Oh all right,

64
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 4: Well I'll just put my stuff in there and then

65
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 4: when I get to the field. They actually the equipment guy. Actually,

66
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 4: because I've just showed you all the bags that I had.

67
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: Those are the.

68
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: Teams that I ended seasons with, so that's why I

69
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 4: have them. You show up to the field, you have

70
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: a bat bag from the team, and you have an

71
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 4: equipment bag. Some teams even gave me a catcher's bag.

72
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 4: So I had three bags with the team's logos on it.

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: And you know what they do. They take those, they

74
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 4: give you a new one. They put your stuff in

75
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: the new Yankees bag, Brewers bag, Rai's bag, Philly's bag,

76
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 4: and then they send that bag back to the team

77
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: that you used to play for. That's it, like you're

78
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: actually helping the other teams out. Like Luke Weaver did

79
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 4: not take the Yankees bag back and then go out

80
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 4: to the gym the local Planet Fitness and go, yep,

81
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: just hanging out here with my Yankees bag even though

82
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: I'm even though I'm a met he had his stuff

83
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: and there's a good chance half his stuff was probably

84
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 4: in his Yankees bag from the season prior and it

85
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: didn't get taken out. That's what I did. Some years.

86
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: Yea all said, Okay, I usually I didn't send him

87
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: usually kept them in the back there and then probably

88
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: I would fill up this stuff I didn't need from

89
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: spring training and ship that bag back home or whatever

90
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 3: it is.

91
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: So there you go. We're gonna get the full scope here. Okay,

92
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: So you guys are position players. Trevor May explained this

93
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: on May Day. So we're gonna run that, and then

94
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: right off that, Miles Micheliss will be ready and we'll

95
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: ask him the same question because he's going from the

96
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: Cardinals to the Nationals this year. Here we go, this

97
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: is the this is the full experience.

98
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 5: On FT, it was reported that new Mets reliever Luke Weaver,

99
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 5: spent the last three season with the Yankees, arrived to

100
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 5: Port Saint Lucy with his old Yankees bag. I need

101
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 5: a minute, Just give me one minute. How could you loke?

102
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: Sorry about that.

103
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 5: I'm okay, I'm okay, I can do this. The move

104
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 5: that seemed to upset some fans and media personality, including

105
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 5: popular and YC radio host Keith Peerson and Michaelmichael Kay.

106
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 5: Weaver addressed the incident the New York Post John Hayman

107
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 5: to The New York Post John Hayman and Joel Sherman

108
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 5: on their show on the Show podcast. All right, here's

109
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 5: the quote from Luke Weaver. I thought it was a

110
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,239
Speaker 5: bit silly personally. I understand why people are I wouldn't

111
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 5: say an uproar, but why they're talking about it. I

112
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 5: get it to your point. It's very common to bring

113
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 5: your old bag your new team. They don't like, they

114
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 5: don't like first class airmail a new bag. So I

115
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 5: didn't get a new bag from the Mets, like a

116
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 5: double bag. Just personally don't have like besides grocery bags

117
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 5: or something. I just don't have anything to put my

118
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 5: stuff in. Yeah, it's completely normal. That is exactly what

119
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 5: everyone does. You get there the first day with all

120
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 5: your crap in your bag, but you didn't chance and

121
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 5: transfer to another bag, and then you get a new

122
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 5: bag immediately. Don't worry. Kk's got it, dude, Kevin Kiers,

123
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 5: He's got him hooked up with the bag immediately. Holy crap,

124
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 5: Who cares?

125
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: Miles Michaels, new to the Washington Nationalists joining us right now.

126
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: The FT network is all over this bag gate story.

127
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: We'll get into plenty more with Miles, but for a

128
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: live report from a current player, Miles, your thoughts on

129
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: this controversy involving Luke Weaver's bag going from a Yankees

130
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: camp now to Mets camp this year before he got

131
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: a new one in one day.

132
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 6: My only thing would be if he drove to camp,

133
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 6: he could have put his stuff, like in any other

134
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 6: bag that he might have had laying around. But if

135
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 6: he flew, you need a nice big bag that you're

136
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 6: flying and you're shipping. And I played with Weave, you know,

137
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 6: in Saint Louis for a little bit, and I feel

138
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 6: like he's a he's a pretty simple, really well meaning guy,

139
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 6: and he's not gonna go out and like spend money

140
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 6: on a on a big bag just to travel with.

141
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 6: When he has a perfectly good Yankees bag, he's gonna

142
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 6: use that, and then he probably ditched it or shipped

143
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 6: home and now he's gonna use his Mets stuff.

144
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 4: Wait, Miles, are you two pieces here? Did you just

145
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: call Luke Waiver cheap? And did you bring your Saint

146
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 4: Louis bag to natscamp?

147
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: No?

148
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 6: I did not call him cheap. He's resourceful. I would

149
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 6: do the same thing. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna

150
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 6: go out and you know, you've got all these bags

151
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 6: laying around you've got these big baseball bags laying around.

152
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 6: I've got a Rangers one, a Cardinals one. I've got

153
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 6: like a big token Giants bag laying around. If I

154
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 6: need a big bag for something, I'm gonna grab one

155
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 6: of those old probably my most recent, you know, nicest,

156
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 6: good quality baseball bag to transport some stuff. That being said,

157
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 6: I was only making a short drive to camp. I

158
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 6: threw some cleats and turfs in a in a non

159
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 6: team related bag and just brought them over in my car,

160
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 6: so I didn't I didn't have to travel far, so

161
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 6: I I kind of had that luxury that he may

162
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 6: have not had.

163
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: That's that's great, that's great. I'd like to move on

164
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 2: from this now.

165
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 3: But round your background right now is incredible.

166
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: Is your phone on the ground or are you are?

167

186
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: your experience to a very young team. So can you

187
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: tell us how it all went down? How was the

188
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: off season? Uh?

189
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 6: You know, it was a pretty slow market for you know,

190
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 6: for a lot of pitchers. But we had been you know,

191
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 6: talking to the Nats for most of the time. I

192
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 6: mean it's a team, you know, coming on my list,

193
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 6: you know, on my radar. I know there's you know,

194
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 6: there's some opportunity there with their with their young players

195
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 6: and you know veteran guys. Sometimes teams look for, you know,

196
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 6: someone on the older end of the spectrum to to

197
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 6: share some of their experience and you know when I

198
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 6: found out what they were what they were doing in

199
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 6: Washington with the you know, they've got a new front

200
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 6: office and they've got this new coaching staff and it's

201
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 6: kind of like everyone's starting from scratch a little bit.

202
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 6: So I feel good about getting in there, you know,

203
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 6: kind of on their ground floor.

204
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 4: Uh.

205
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 6: You know, they talked to me a lot about you know,

206
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 6: wanting to have this really good clubhouse culture and you know,

207
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 6: keep things like moving forward, and you know, they're going

208
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 6: to be doing a lot of great stuff with their

209
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 6: their player development, and I thought it'd be fun too

210
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 6: to be a part of that. And you know, I'm

211
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 6: not gonna lie. Being being home for spring training again

212
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 6: is you know, always a plus. I get to enjoy

213
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 6: this beautiful weather hang out of my my house that

214
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 6: we just moved into this last offseason.

215
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 7: So it's a it's a good fit all around.

216
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, A big house that you just moved into this offseason.

217
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: Good for you. Anytime you can be home. It makes

218
00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 4: other spring trainings that much worse. So good luck enjoying

219
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 4: your time at home, your afternoon naps after the games

220
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 4: are over. But you said, most of the time you're

221
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 4: talking to the nats most of the time. What do

222
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 4: you feel or what held up the fact that you

223
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 4: didn't sign until now? Was it one of those things

224
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 4: where they contacted you or like, hey, we want to

225
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: make you an offer, but we're not going to tell

226
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 4: you what the offer is until we see what other

227
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 4: guys make and what other teams offer you contracts.

228
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 6: Well, I mean teams have to do their due diligence, right,

229
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 6: they have to explore their options. They wanted to, you know,

230
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 6: I had a nice zoom call with them. I know

231
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 6: they want a zoom call with some guys. Get a

232
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 6: feel for everyone. They were. I feel like they were

233
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 6: being a little particular in who they bring in, you know,

234
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 6: from a veterans standpoint, because they want someone that's you know,

235
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 6: going to be maybe you know, while spoken is going

236
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 6: to be good with the young guys, gonna you know,

237
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 6: I think I can do a good job. I'm pretty

238
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 6: good with my work in the way room, the training room.

239
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 6: I'm always busy, so you know, hopefully I can you know,

240
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 6: lead by example and you know, just be a part

241
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 6: of a part of a fun group. So maybe they

242
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 6: were just narrowing that down. I know they made some trades.

243
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 6: Maybe they're waiting to see if they're going to trade.

244
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 6: Some guys are not to see if that spot would

245
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 6: would would open up, And everything just kind of came

246
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 6: together at the end, you know, by the skin of

247
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 6: my teeth, getting into spring training, getting into spring training

248
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 6: right on time.

249
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 4: Did you talk to any other teams? Was there any

250
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 4: other teams as it kind of really ramped up with

251
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 4: the Nets?

252
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 6: I believe there were, Yeah, there were, there were a

253
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 6: few teams, you know, some teams out in Arizona, you know, talking.

254
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 6: But you know, when you started thinking about the deals

255
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 6: and you know, what's the best fit, it's not always about,

256
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 6: you know, necessarily, you know, the the dollar amounts or

257
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 6: things like that. Not to say I had like giant

258
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 6: offers like poorn In you know, I not really that situation.

259
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 6: But when you think about the overall scenario of what

260
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 6: teams and you know, what what kind of team I

261
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 6: could be a part of, and where they're going with that,

262
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 6: and where I am in my career and what I

263
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 6: have to offer, you know, specific teams in general, and

264
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 6: what my role is going to be. And you know,

265
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 6: I slept the Nats ended up being a team that

266
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 6: was a better fit than most.

267
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 4: I mean, I wish you could just play that on

268
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 4: repeat because all the times people are like, well, why

269
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 4: would you sign there, what's the deal with that? What's

270
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 4: the you know what, You're a human like this guy

271
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 4: right over here, he's human. He's a human person with

272
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 4: a family. So good for you for saying that, and

273
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: good for you for making every one of your freaking starts.

274
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 4: One of the things I was thinking about when I'm

275
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 4: looking at your at your stat page is people are

276
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 4: gonna say, oh, you know, strikeout racos down, this goes down.

277
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: Baseball is always about all the negative, negative, negative.

278
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, you make every one of your starts?

279
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,599
Speaker 1: What does that mean to you?

280
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 4: And what does that mean to the team that you're

281
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 4: going to, because it is a rare, rare thing. Even

282
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 4: on the best teams, they're like, we're totally fine if

283
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 4: one of our best pictures only gets twenty five starts,

284
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 4: because that's not a big deal for us.

285
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, it speaks to a lot. Is like

286
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 6: just what I put into my my body and my

287
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 6: overall routine. You know, I try to eat healthy when

288
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 6: I can. You know, I like to exercise, I like

289
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 6: to be outside. I'm I'm power shagging. I'm in the

290
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 6: training room. I have a good routine. The training staff

291
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 6: in Saint Louis was great, and the experience I've had

292
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 6: so far in Washington's been great as well. But you

293
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 6: have to have a little bit of discipline to make

294
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 6: to make all those starts and to stay healthy. And

295
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 6: you know, I know there's a lot of stats you

296
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 6: know that don't shine the best lot on me, other

297
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 6: than you know, durability, which is one of the five abilities,

298
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 6: durability availability.

299
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 7: But there's when I look, they.

300
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 6: Hitted me a sheet of paper with with my my

301
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 6: numbers and some percentages, and while some of them aren't encouraging,

302
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 6: there's a lot of good ones there. I throw a

303
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 6: lot of strikes. I attack it as really well, and

304
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 6: I know that with with some you know, maybe a

305
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 6: little more deeper dive into the metrics, or you know

306
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 6: a little bit of more work with with some of

307
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 6: their pitching guys over there who I've talked to that

308
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 6: I really like. So I think there is a lot

309
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 6: of room for improvement there. You know, different approach with

310
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 6: two strikes, getting outside the zone, you know, setting up

311
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 6: pitches that I can get out of the zone a

312
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 6: little bit better, you know, maybe some sequencing changes, because

313
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 6: one thing I do do is I'm healthy and I

314
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 6: throw strikes and I'm going to attack hitters, but then

315
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 6: getting them to chase and you know, trying to use

316
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 6: this new zone the way they're going to have it.

317
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 7: I think it's fun. I think it's exciting. It's going

318
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 7: to be a fun year.

319
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 3: We know about Japan, how you loved it over there,

320
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: and they consider you one of their favorites of what

321
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 3: you did and how good you were.

322
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: Did any NPP team try and throw the bag at

323
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: you and maybe say, hey, dog, we want you back

324
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: coming through. Have you considered that?

325
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 7: No, No, I've definitely considered it. But last year I

326
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 7: got to my nine years.

327
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 6: So this year, if I can remain healthy and remain

328
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 6: effective and you know, being the major leagues the whole year,

329
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 6: that's my ten years. That's something I've I really want

330
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 6: to get to. I really want to take pride in that.

331
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 6: I know that's a you know, that's a mile so

332
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 6: and that a lot of guys are looking for, you know.

333
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 6: And then after that, I'd love to have another really

334
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 6: good year. I think I've got some more good baseball

335
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 6: in me. I'd love to play a couple more years

336
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 6: here in the States, but I would love a little

337
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 6: a little sign ar tour they called a sin Ar tour,

338
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 6: you go over to Japan for for one last hurrah.

339
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 6: I did recently hear they were getting rid of pictures

340
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 6: hitting over there, which was one reason I kind of

341
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 6: wanted to go back because I know that I think

342
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 6: this is their last year hitting. Had I known that, maybe,

343
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 6: but the baseball over there was was so wonderful, and

344
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 6: you know, their fans were so great over there, and

345
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 6: Japan is such a wonderful, beautiful place, whether it's playing

346
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 6: baseball or just on a nice long vacation. It's definitely

347
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 6: something I want to do all my kids to experience.

348
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 4: Well, that's a lot farther away from home. Just just

349
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 4: so you know, I just want to make sure you

350
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 4: know that on Google Maps, so that you know, oh,

351
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 4: but yes, it'll be an amazing opportunity for your kids

352
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 4: will be older, your kids, I don't even know if

353
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 4: your kids we were with you when you were over

354
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 4: there or not.

355
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 6: We had we had just had our first, our oldest

356
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 6: my daughter was born my last year there.

357
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 4: So okay, yeah, all right, so the team you just

358
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 4: came from the Cardinals. You were kind of in the

359
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 4: middle of the tear down, and now they really tore

360
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 4: it down. Yeah, what are your opinions of it and

361
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 4: what you've seen because you were there when they were

362
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 4: having success and the last few years it hasn't gone

363
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 4: well and now it's a shell of the team that

364
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 4: it used that you played with.

365
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, you know the Cardinals, you know, and

366
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 6: I know they were kind of in between the teardown

367
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 6: and the rebuil, but you know, sometimes you have to

368
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 6: you have to wipe the board clean before you can,

369
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 6: you know, you have to grab a new sheet of

370
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 6: paper before you can you know, paint that next masterpiece.

371
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 6: And you know, they got a new front office and

372
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 6: they're going forward with that, and I'm sure you know,

373
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 6: that's a really good, smart group of guys there. Know

374
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 6: they're gonna make the moves that obviously you know that

375
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 6: that they think are best. And it's definitely different. You know,

376
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 6: you had a team that was loaded with veterans my

377
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 6: first couple of years there, and then you know, I

378
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 6: was a little bit younger, but I think anytime you

379
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 6: get caught in between, right, like if you're going to

380
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 6: steal a bag and you're in between whether you're gonna

381
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 6: go or not. You need to thrown out every time.

382
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 6: So being able to what they you know, accomplish what

383
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 6: they want to do, and you know, get rid of

384
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 6: those contracts and get rid of some of those older

385
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 6: guys and bring in some some younger, fresher faces, and

386
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 6: they're gonna, you know, dip into that minor league system

387
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 6: that they've been working on the last couple of years.

388
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 6: You got to develop those guys, you know, I mean

389
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 6: at some point you have to roll over. I mean,

390
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 6: you had guys there for you know, ten, fifteen, twenty

391
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 6: years that have been part of that system, and you know,

392
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 6: understandably they want to go in in a different direction

393
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 6: because we you know, hadn't played good. We caught some

394
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 6: bad breaks the last couple of seasons. You know, we'd

395
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 6: lost some guys, guys had some down years. You know,

396
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 6: I'm gonna regret forever, uh not pitching better or you know,

397
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 6: my last couple of years in the Carlos uniform.

398
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 7: But that's the way baseball is. You know, you have

399
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 7: you have good years, you have bad years.

400
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 6: You bounce back, you have you know, comeback seasons and

401
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 6: things like that, and you know, wish all the best

402
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 6: for all my buddies over there on the team.

403
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 7: You know, I hope they do great, except for the

404
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 7: games that that I'm you know that that we're playing.

405
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 4: Did you see the new rule that they just came

406
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 4: out with or just officially came out with yesterday about

407
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 4: the first and third base coaches. Oh no, what's that

408
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 4: They have to stay in the box, which I'm pretty

409
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 4: sure you had mentioned. Hey, you know what, maybe we

410
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 4: need to keep these guys in there allotted box. But

411
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 4: it's going to me it's not a rule. It was

412
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 4: always a rule, it was just never enforced. How do

413
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 4: you feel about the fact that they said now they're

414
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 4: going to enforce it, except they can move closer to

415
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 4: their dugout if a pool side hitter is up for

416
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 4: safety purposes.

417
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 6: Has had a couple of really good jokes fly through

418
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 6: my head. I'm gonna hold back on those for now,

419
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 6: but I think it's good. I mean, if you know,

420
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 6: if you've got big pull side here and you want

421
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 6: to get out of the way, you know they're wearing

422
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 6: helmets now, you know there is definitely some safety concerned there.

423
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 6: You know, my issue was with you know, I was

424
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 6: tipping pitches. I was doing almost everything short of just

425
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 6: showing my glove to the guy. And that's on me,

426
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 6: you know, some of that's on me. It's not all that.

427
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 6: But you know how far back you're gonna go to

428
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 6: look to to sneak a peek at something? Right, like

429
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 6: you're gonna sneak a peak you know, if you're sitting

430
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 6: in class and the kid next to you is hiding

431
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 6: his test, if you're really looking, you know, are you cheating?

432
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 6: If he's just showing it to you, you know, just

433
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 6: giving you the answers. I was just giving him the

434
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 6: answers for for a couple of you know, goes there.

435
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 6: But I think it's good, you know. I mean, you

436
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 6: have these rules too, you know, if you're gonna have

437
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 6: these rules, enforce them, we'll just take the box away

438
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 6: right like it's it's there, you might as well use it.

439
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 4: Was it cheating? Was it cheating if let's say let's

440
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 4: say the guy was standing one foot in the box

441
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 4: and he's going, like he said, he's like, oh, he's

442
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 4: craning to get his head over there to see, or

443
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 4: if he's just is it cheating?

444
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 6: If no, if you're by the cut of the outfield grass,

445
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 6: which I know some teams will get there or they'll

446
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 6: get pretty close to there. But if you're on the

447
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 6: other side of first base and then getting close towards

448
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 6: the cut of the outfield grass, you know, and you're

449
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 6: if you're moving deliberately to see something that's not available

450
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 6: from a previous line of sight, and then you're signaling it.

451
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 6: I mean, that's not far from banging on a trash can,

452
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 6: right mm hmm.

453
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 4: And And for everybody who Miles doesn't need to say it.

454
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 4: We have we have humid we have tracking devices on

455
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 4: the field. So if you just look it up, I

456
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 4: think it's baseball savant. You can see where the first

457
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 4: and third base coaches are for each team and where

458
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 4: they were on place. It's just like it's just a dot.

459
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 4: It's it's a dot, just like the third basement. People

460
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 4: can look it up themselves.

461
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 6: Do they have do they have the metrics for that?

462
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 6: Like does does the positioning of the first base and

463
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 6: third base coach correlate to higher batting averages? That would

464
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 6: be really interesting, a really interesting stat Do you can say, like, oh,

465
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 6: the five best hitting teams they had, you know, their

466
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 6: coach was the furthest the details of the line. I

467
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 6: wonder maybe they'll start recruiting really tall now that you

468
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 6: can't go that way. They're gonna recruit the tallest first

469
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 6: and third base coaches so they can try to look

470
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 6: down into your mint.

471
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: I love that.

472
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 4: I love that, the whole Bowl family, all the balls.

473
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 6: Coach, doll mean coaching third base, just looking in that mint,

474
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 6: just all over it.

475
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna have a five, right, So if you're

476
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 1: over six five, you can't be a base coach. If

477
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: you're under, you get a little stool or you can

478
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: wear a little heel so that it's equal. Okay, we

479
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: want everything to be equal eventually, same stats, same tech,

480
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: same payroll for everyone. Everything's gonna be equal one day.

481
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: That makes a lot of sense. I'm kidding them.

482
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 6: No, no, you can't have that.

483
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: No, no, exactly. Well you thought you would like that.

484
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 6: One said. You gotta have a storyline. You gotta have

485
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 6: your your your David and Goliath. You're you're good versus evil,

486
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 6: your you know, your big teams versus small teams, your you.

487
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 7: Know, stacked farm system, young guy, old vets. You gotta

488
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 7: have all that.

489
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 6: It's makes for more story. It's more fun that way.

490
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: It's it's the spice of life. I'm with you and

491
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: Twitter to the game. Yeah, You're Goliath. Is gonna be

492
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: when Bayana from the NBA over at third base is

493
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: the new third base coach for whatever team is going

494
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: to pay him in the off season to steal some pitch.

495
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,959
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, those guys aren't doing much in the summer, right,

496
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 6: get a tan baseball.

497
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm in, I'm in. I love it. Dude, You're the best.

498
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for catching up with us. Really

499
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: appreciate the time. Congrats on the deal, and we will

500
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: see you in camp. You'll run into Pierzanski in a

501
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: few weeks over at camp when we make the stop

502
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: on the tour, all right.

503
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 7: Always looking forward to seeing him. Thanks for having me on.

504
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Next up, an interesting one from Leo. I

505
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: like these specials, Oh, Kratz. We had so much fun

506
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: with this a couple of years ago. Run it back.

507
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: Fewest regular season wins minus four hundred for the Rockies,

508
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: and then if you want to play the rest of

509
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: the field, we'll give you a few names to consider.

510
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: White Sox plus seven hundred, Nationals plus eight hundred Cardinals

511
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: and Angels plus sixteen hundred, Marlins and Twins plus thirty

512
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: five hundred. Ooh, I see something on the board that's

513
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: very enticing, But I also just want a blanket state

514
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: in this Todd Father, remember when we talked to Ken

515
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: earlier in the show about how I think that tanking

516
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: has at least been helped a little bit by the

517
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: last CBA. When you look at this board, you're like,

518
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's not that many terrible teams in

519
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: baseball right now.

520
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: No, I mean, Colorado is definitely a top pick that

521
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 3: you really have to consider.

522
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: They're the white size man plus seven hundred for the

523
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: White Sox. That's interesting.

524
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: Man.

525
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 3: My one team that I mentioned and we talked about earlier, Dude,

526
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 3: the Marlins could could could be that worst team too

527
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 3: as well with the teams they have to play. So

528
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 3: I would I would throw a little bit on the

529
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 3: Marlins just just to do it. I mean, a plus

530
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: thirty five hundred, you can't go wrong with that. So

531
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 3: I don't see the Nationals being that team. I don't see.

532
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 3: I don't see Angels. They'll find some way. Saint Louis, we.

533
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: Talked about a little bit, yeah, I would say, I

534
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: would say.

535
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 3: I put a little on Miami and you know, sorry, yeah,

536
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 3: I apologize, but it's a tough bet.

537
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: You got to pick one.

538
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. I mean, hey, when you

539
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: get odds like that, it's the odds that it's enticing. Wait,

540
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: but hold up. I'm looking right next to them, and

541
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: I'm like, could Minnesota be that team at thirty one

542
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: or thirty five to one odds where it gets bad

543
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: and then it gets really bad when they start trading

544
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: off some of the bigger names at the trade deadline.

545
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's see Kratz, well, well, get yeah,

546
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: I was gonna Saykratz, let's get his pick, but also

547
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: we'll see if he likes your Miami pick or my

548
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: my Minnesota pick.

549
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 4: I actually don't like the Miami pick, but I know

550
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 4: why you're going after the thirty five hundred. I don't

551
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 4: like the Minnesota pick because I think Minnesota. Yeah, did

552
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 4: they get rid of Byron Buxton? Maybe, like, does Joe

553
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 4: Ryan go somewhere?

554
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 6: Sure?

555
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 4: I get that. Does it get awful? I don't know

556
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 4: if it gets awful to me. A place that could

557
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 4: get awful is Saint Louis and at sixteen hundred, I

558
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 4: love that number. Now. Obviously, the lingering effect here is

559
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 4: the Rockies, like the Rockies are gonna be the worst team.

560
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 4: If I'm going somewhere where it's gonna be bad, where

561
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get the worst, and I get some good

562
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 4: numbers at plus sixteen hundred, I feel like I have to.

563
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 4: I had to pick Saint Louis.

564
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I Todd Father since he said he didn't like

565
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: either of our suggestions, I really don't like his. I'm

566
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: not with you on that one. I do not see

567
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: Saint Louis with the worst record in all of baseball.

568
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 4: They got rid of Funny Gray. Yes, they don't have

569
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 4: Miles Michaelis, who made thirty one starts. They need to

570
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 4: our thirty two starts. You need to find someone else.

571
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 4: Wilson Catreras has gone. I get it. You know, Ernato

572
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 4: wasn't that great. You lost your one all star Brendan Donovan.

573
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 4: You still have Mason Wynn. I get that. Large Newt

574
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 4: Bar's got a lot going on, so hey, you know what,

575
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 4: that's cool? Alex Burlow.

576
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: Lineup's not bad. Who the lineup's not bad? Lars Newbar

577
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm just giving you the fan grafts against Righty's Von Herrera,

578
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: uh Alec Burlason, Nolan Gorman, Mason Win, JJ Weatherholt. They

579
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: think he'll break camp, Jordan Walker, Pedro Pajes, Victor Scott, Like, yeah,

580
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: a lot of those guys haven't done a ton yet,

581
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: but I think there's enough potential there where it's going

582
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: to be like f it mode. You know, we know

583
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: we're bad. Let's have fun and they'll shock I don't

584
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: want to say shocked the world. But they weren't as

585
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: bad as people think. Yeah, but I just don't think

586
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: they're a terrible fifth place team.

587
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 4: So okay, that's fair.

588
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, with how the with how the percentages are and

589
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 3: the juice, you could take a couple of teams.

590
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: Just put a little, yeah, little little something on it. Yeah,

591
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 2: why not.

592
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 4: It's it's the Rockies though. I mean, the Rockies got

593
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 4: to play in the National League East. They gotta play

594
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 4: in the National League. They gotta play in nationally Sorry

595
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 4: minus four hundred, I'm not touching that.
