They were excited, 21 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 4: they had joy, they had chance, they had everything going 22 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 4: for him and they fell into this lovely little bond 23 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 4: that they came together with. 24 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 5: And it was. 25 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 4: Fun to watch. And that's one thing I'll take away 26 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 4: from it. I thought everybody played for each other. They 27 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 4: got the bunt down, they got a guy over. I 28 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 4: mean the pitching, the relief pitching for Venezuela. It was 29 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 4: so spot on. They did absolutely everything that they did right. 30 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 4: And you know, on the flip side, you look at USA. 31 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 4: Yeah they did good, but they didn't hit. They didn't hit. 32 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 4: That was the biggest takeaway I got for USA. They 33 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 4: didn't find a way to get the big hit. I 34 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 4: know Harper did, don't get me wrong, But when it 35 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 4: came down to it, two runs is not going to 36 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 4: win you a World Baseball Classic in the last two games. 37 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 4: So for them, it's hard. It's hard to swallow. It's 38 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 4: a hard pill to swallow if you're a USA you 39 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 4: know favorite, if you're a fan of them and you're 40 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 4: from there. 41 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 5: I mean, it's hard. 42 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 4: But you know, Venezuela came out and the excitement was 43 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:03,639 Speaker 4: on their side right. 44 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 5: From Jump Street. 45 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: Eric. 46 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 3: So many people are going to question the moves always right, 47 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 3: hindsight is twenty twenty. Everyone's going to question Derosi's starting, 48 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: you know, Bregman over Gunner, Henderson, Will Smith over cal Rawley, this, 49 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 3: that and the other thing. But it came down to 50 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: the fact that you're right, Todd, they didn't hit. 51 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: Eric what's your takeaway from it? 52 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 6: My takeaways whenever there is superstars out in the field, 53 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 6: superstar pitching majority of the time beats superstar hitting. And 54 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 6: some superstars which I was not a superstar, would argue 55 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 6: with me. But really, like that's the reason they're superstar pitchers. 56 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 6: Those are the dudes that get that normally shut down 57 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 6: the best players, the best players. They will they clip. 58 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 6: Will they clip a guy here and there, absolutely, but 59 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 6: they beat up on the other guys. They beat up 60 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 6: on the guys that are there and aren't as aren't 61 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 6: as good of pitchers as they are of hitters. And 62 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 6: when you go head to head, superstar is superstar, I 63 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 6: don't care what time of year it is. Rarely are 64 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 6: the superstars on the other team. Like if you're facing Scooble, 65 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 6: rarely is Aaron Judges automatically just going three for three 66 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 6: against Scooble. No, you hope he clips them. When he's 67 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 6: facing Garret Crochet, there's gonna be a few strikeouts here there, 68 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 6: but you hope he lasts till the eighth inning and 69 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 6: Judge gets another shot and then clips him, hits a 70 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 6: dinger and you win one. Nothing Like that's how you 71 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 6: got to beat superstars. I just didn't think tonight Eduardo 72 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 6: Ariguez was gonna be that superstar. 73 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: Oh man, did he show up tonight for Venezuela? 74 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 3: So many folks are gonna ask why wasn't Mason Miller 75 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 3: in this game? What's going on with Mark Drosso? Why 76 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 3: didn't he allow Mason Miller to pitch? But there's things 77 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 3: going into this game cratzy that people don't understand. Mason Miller. 78 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: Ken Rosenthaler, our friend and our colleague, talked about the 79 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 3: fact that Mason Miller wasn't necessarily going to be available 80 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 3: to pitch in the game. There's so many different things 81 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 3: that are hamstringing a manager in this situation. 82 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: Mason Miller wasn't available. 83 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 6: And if he was available, I haven't heard that he 84 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 6: wasn't available, But if he was available, I mean, are 85 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 6: you going to not put Garrett Whitlock in the same 86 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 6: inning that he is dominated and hasn't given up a 87 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 6: run the entire WBC. No, the plan was you go 88 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 6: Whitlock and then you go Mason Miller. When if you 89 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 6: need if you need it in extras there like I 90 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 6: get it, I get it. Mason Miller is supposed to 91 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 6: supposed to pitch. Maybe he wasn't available. We I don't know, 92 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 6: I haven't heard. 93 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not certain either. 94 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 3: I mean there was talk, of course that maybe he 95 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: wasn't going to be available based on how he felt. 96 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 3: Craig Stamm and the manager of the Padres, was saying 97 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 3: that we're going to see how this goes. But you're right, 98 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 3: you know, you look at it like Garret Whitlock gave 99 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 3: it up. But then you look at it also that, 100 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 3: well you're a bray you of the Reds is the 101 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 3: one that hit the two run home runs. So I mean, 102 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 3: there's just so many different things that go through your 103 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 3: mind as a as a fan, as an analyst of whatever. 104 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 2: Watching this game, I'm a little shell shocked. 105 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: To be honest with you, I did not Todd give 106 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 3: Venezuela as much credit as I guess maybe I should have. 107 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: I mean, was this was this the better team? The 108 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: better team win? 109 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? 110 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 5: I mean right now I would have to say yes. 111 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 4: Ultimately, they came out fired up, they took the pitches 112 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 4: they need, they got guys on base. It just didn't 113 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 4: seem like USA found a way to pit the ball. 114 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 4: They had one hit for a long time there, and 115 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 4: that's frustrating. You're facing a lefty pitcher and you know, 116 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 4: he absolutely dominated and that's that's the bottom line. They 117 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 4: came out in the last three or four three games, 118 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 4: excuse me, and they pitched the best that they could 119 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 4: do and it was their time. And yeah, I'm shocked too. 120 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 4: I'm ultimately blown away. How I say, did not come 121 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 4: out and hit the baseball and put up six, eight, 122 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 4: ten runs. I was waiting for that output and never came. 123 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 4: And guess what, when you do that in baseball, things 124 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 4: will not go your way because you're playing against the 125 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 4: best of the best from each country. 126 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: Eric is Bryce Harper elite again? 127 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 6: Brice Harper is the same guy he was last year. 128 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 6: He is the same guy that has been motivated to 129 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 6: be the best that he can be. Is he elite 130 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 6: again because of one swing? 131 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: No? Is he clutch? Yes? That never changed. 132 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,559 Speaker 6: Even if he flied that one to the warning track, 133 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 6: He's still he still is the guy that you went 134 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 6: up in the big situations. He's proven that and I 135 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 6: think there's other guys on the team that can do that, 136 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 6: but he's proven it in the playoffs for the Phillies. 137 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 6: And now he did it again in a big spot 138 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 6: to pull Team USA tied to too late in the game. 139 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: What a massive homer that was. 140 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 3: Honestly though, Eduardo Rodriguez Todd four and a third scoreless 141 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 3: innings inning against Team USA. A lineup that is stacked. 142 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 3: We've talked about it so much. This is the best 143 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: American lineup we've ever seen in the WBC. 144 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 2: And it's so funny. 145 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: I mean, I guess not funny, but this is a 146 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 3: guy that struggled with Arizona over the last couple of seasons. 147 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: I mean an ERA over five over a course of 148 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 3: you know, two hundred and four and a third innings pitched. 149 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 3: And he comes out and he just shoves, Like what 150 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 3: does that mean? Like, how does that happen? You have 151 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 3: an elite lineup in the in the United States and 152 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 3: Warder Areas. 153 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: Comes out and just shoves. How does that possible? Baseball 154 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 2: doesn't make sense? Make it make sense to me? 155 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 4: Well, here's why it does make sense. You got Salvador 156 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 4: Perez behind a plate. You got a veteran catcher who 157 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 4: absolutely knows each hit or that he's facing, and he 158 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 4: manipulated that strike zone so perfectly against guy like the 159 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 4: captain Aaron Judge who had a couple of strikeouts. He 160 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 4: was forcing him to throw that hard inside and throw 161 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 4: that change up and nobody else could figure out how 162 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 4: to hit. They got one hit against him. He did 163 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 4: absolutely phenomenal. Give credit to Salvi Perez. They put the 164 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,679 Speaker 4: right catcher in there at the right time. They pushed 165 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 4: all the right buttons and that's ultimately, and when they 166 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 4: went down, or excuse me, when the game got tied. 167 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 4: Next thing, you know, a walk can't do that. That's 168 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 4: a big play in the game. Find a way to 169 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 4: let Luisa rise try and hit one out of the park. 170 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 4: You know what I mean, throw strikes. I know that 171 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 4: three to one pitch I think was a strike, But 172 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 4: ultimately that's the way it goes. That's the human nature 173 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 4: of the game. Gotta find a way to get that out. 174 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: Eric. 175 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. We talked so much the 176 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 2: other day. 177 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 3: When the USA played the Dominican Republic and bested the 178 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 3: DR it was a lot. It was three reasons. Number one, 179 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 3: base running number two. They were two for nine with 180 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 3: runners in scoring position. Number three. USA had really good pitching. 181 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 3: So let me ask you this. When it comes to Venezuela, 182 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 3: it was the Venezuelan hitters that stepped up in the 183 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 3: big moments right, stepped up when they needed it most. 184 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 3: You have a bray you obviously with the home run 185 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 3: Suarez Mikel Garcia early on in the game. Was this 186 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 3: just a matter of the Venezuelan hitters capitalizing when they 187 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 3: needed to at the right time. 188 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 2: I mean, what do you make of it overall? 189 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? 190 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 6: I mean, for sure they capitalized when they needed I 191 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 6: mean they struck out ten times. Team USA struck out 192 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 6: seven times. I mean struck out seven times. Team USA 193 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 6: struck out ten times. The batters did like, they both 194 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 6: walked three times both teams. Venezuela had six hits, Team 195 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 6: USA had three hits. Like they put together overall in 196 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 6: their lineup, they put together better at bats top to 197 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 6: bottom to get them in the situation that they were in. 198 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 6: If you're only ever looking for one swing, well that 199 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 6: could be the case with Venezuela too. Like Hinneo Suarez 200 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 6: is in there for one thing, one swing, and he 201 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 6: got the three to two and he threw him a 202 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 6: change up. He had to throw a strike, or at 203 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 6: least in that moment, he thought he had to throw 204 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 6: a strike because he threw the fastball up the pitch 205 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 6: before and then he just landed the He landed the 206 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 6: strike middle middle, and Suarez came through a guy that 207 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 6: is really boom or bust or walk, and he came 208 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 6: through with a massive double. Like there's plenty of situation. 209 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 6: Not plenty, but there were some situations where you would 210 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 6: have said, Okay, Team USA is going to come through here, 211 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 6: but it was still they were waiting for somebody to 212 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 6: come through with a big homer. They were waiting for 213 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 6: Judge to come through with a big homer with a 214 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 6: runner on first. Like, to me, that's not the way 215 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 6: you normally win close games is by, oh, we got 216 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 6: a guy on. And every time the United States got 217 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 6: a guy on, he was on first base with two outs. 218 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 6: And the only guy that got a hit against at 219 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 6: Guardo Rodriguez early was Bryce terraang so is left on left. 220 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 6: So it's really to me, it's not. 221 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: At all on d Row. To me, it's not at 222 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: all on the pitching. 223 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 6: I really think it's a rest with the lineup and 224 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 6: they weren't able to get that big hit because I 225 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 6: think that's what they were looking for, one big hit 226 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 6: instead of trying to figure out how to string hits together, 227 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 6: which is really tough against the line, which against the 228 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 6: pitchers that Venezuela kept running out there. 229 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 3: Todd, Aaron Judge was zero for four in this game. 230 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 3: Three ks. He's going to take a lot of criticism 231 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 3: just because he's Aaron Judge, right, I mean rightfully? So 232 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 3: we expect so much of this man, captain of the Yankees, 233 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 3: captain of the USA squad. 234 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: Is the criticism. 235 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 3: Justified when it comes to number ninety nine in this 236 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 3: particular tournament or in this particular game rather, Yeah. 237 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 4: I think yes, But I think ultimately Aaron's gonna take 238 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 4: it on the chin and say, hey, you know this 239 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 4: is on me. 240 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 5: I didn't do my job. You know, it's one game. 241 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 4: So if you don't do good, and it's one game, 242 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 4: you're gonna get criticized, and not just the nature of 243 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 4: the beasts. You get one chance to win a World 244 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 4: Baseball Classic. It's not best out of three, it's not 245 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 4: best out of seven. So yeah, he's gonna take the criticism. 246 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 4: He's gonna take it with his chin up high and understand, listen, 247 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 4: I didn't do my job, you know. But in the 248 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 4: back of everybody's mind, is nobody did their job as 249 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 4: the hitters. Nobody came through, They didn't get guys in 250 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 4: scoring position. Give Venezuela the credit. Like we talked about, 251 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 4: USA did not hit, and guess what they didn't win. 252 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 5: That is baseball defense wins championships. We get that. 253 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 4: But if you don't hit and score runs, you're not 254 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 4: gonna win any games. 255 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 5: And that's ultimately what it came down to. 256 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 3: Eric, we talked about the criticism whether or not it's 257 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 3: warranted for Aaron Judge, what about Mark de Rosa? What 258 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 3: does this mean for d row moving forward? Is this 259 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 3: is this his fault? I mean, he can't hit right, 260 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 3: he can't go out there and hit. He's the manager, 261 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 3: he's not the player. 262 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 2: So what is your. 263 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 3: Overall takeaway about the criticism that you know d Ro's 264 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 3: going to face. 265 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 6: I mean, I think from now on, I don't think that. 266 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 6: I don't think it's fair criticism. I didn't see anything 267 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 6: that I would have done differently during this game. I 268 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 6: felt like the lineup construction was there. I felt like 269 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 6: he stuck with Bryce Harper through thick and thin here 270 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 6: and he paid off. He got two of the three 271 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 6: hits tonight and drove the two run homer that tied 272 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 6: the game up late. So to me, I think the 273 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 6: only way, the only way he's not brought back to 274 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 6: do this in the next WBC is if the players 275 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 6: are like, nah, we need a different voice, or nah, 276 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 6: we're looking for somebody that's currently just off the field, 277 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 6: something like that. I mean, look at you. Look at 278 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 6: the guys that they had on the bench. It was 279 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 6: a lot of guys that are very very well respected, 280 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 6: but they don't have a ton of coaching experience in 281 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 6: pro ball. And to me, I don't know that that's 282 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 6: what's needed. I don't know if that's what would have 283 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 6: helped them win the game. No, I don't think so. 284 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 6: So to me, the only way those dudes don't come 285 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 6: back is if they A don't want to or B 286 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 6: the players weren't happy. And to me, all the players 287 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 6: that we've talked to, all the players that we've seen 288 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 6: and heard the way that they're talking, have had a 289 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 6: great time. Like Terry Scoble just talking about driving through 290 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 6: the rainstorm to get back down there to he threw 291 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 6: a pen and he hung out in the dugout and 292 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 6: he's like, I feel like I've known these guys for 293 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 6: a few months, not just a few weeks. And that's 294 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 6: the kind of environment you have to build. And then 295 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 6: you put the guys out there, you throw the balls 296 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 6: out on the field, and you say, go play and 297 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 6: try to win the. 298 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 3: Ball game all right, from the WBC through the World Series, 299 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 3: to the World Cup, to NASCAR and Indy Car with 300 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 3: five you get it all live, guys.

Of course, everyone's like, 307 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 3: why didn't you just put Mason Miller in? It was 308 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 3: known before the game. Mark Deurosis said Todd that Mason 309 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 3: Miller was available. 310 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: Obviously, it was a whole situation. 311 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 3: Garret, Garrett Whitlock comes in instead of Mason Miller. You 312 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 3: could have used Mason Miller at a later time. It's funny, 313 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 3: you know, it's so easy to be a manager when 314 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 3: you're sitting on your couch right or when you're sitting 315 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 3: in your hotel rooms. You're getting ready to do Yankees 316 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 3: games coming up. It's so funny how everybody has the answer. 317 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 3: But there's a reason that Garrett Whitlock was in the 318 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 3: game before Mason Miller was in the game, right, I mean, 319 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 3: everybody has a everyone has an opinion, But there's a 320 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 3: reason that Whitlock was in before Mason Millar. 321 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 5: Yeah. 322 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 4: I mean he's given up zero runs. I mean, the 323 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 4: guy has been absolutely insane. He's been great. I don't 324 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 4: think that that was an easy decision as a manager 325 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 4: to bring him in and then ultimately if they found 326 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 4: a way to get a run. If not, yeah, maybe 327 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 4: you think about bringing Mason Miller in after that. But 328 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 4: you know, I don't second guess that at all. You know, 329 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 4: you think about de Rosa, you talked about him as 330 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 4: a manager. 331 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 5: I thought he did well. 332 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 4: You know, ultimately, the comment was probably a big problem 333 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 4: that people still aren't getting over with, which they should. 334 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 4: He made a mistake and he and it is what 335 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 4: it is. He owned up to it in his own way. 336 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 5: Move on. 337 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 4: They made it to the championship. They didn't hit the ball. 338 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 4: That's what they got to live with and they got 339 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 4: to move on. I'm excited to see if they Finally 340 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 4: they get this team back in the Olympics coming up 341 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 4: in a couple of years, so we'll see about that. 342 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 4: But yeah, this one still stinks. This one's gonna stink 343 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 4: for a little while, especially until you know, the regular 344 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 4: season starts. So hopefully it starts tomorrow. But no, it's not. 345 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 4: But yes, congrats to Venezuela. 346 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 2: They deserved it one hundred percent. 347 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 3: And Eric, let's look at I mean the facts, right, 348 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 3: the US didn't hit you look up and down the lineup. 349 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 3: I mean Harper obviously was two two for four. Rather 350 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 3: I mean Bryce terrang was one for three. That's it, 351 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 3: that's your hits, right, I mean Venezuela doubled up on 352 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 3: the hits and not a ton. I mean they only 353 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 3: had six hits in thirty one at bats, but in 354 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 3: total in thirty one at bats. But the fact of 355 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 3: the matter is they came up clutch in the situations 356 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 3: that they needed to. I mean, obviously Bryce Harper had 357 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 3: the two run home run, but in the little moments 358 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 3: that counted, Venezuela made the most of it. So let's 359 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 3: not take away from what they were able to accomplish totally. 360 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 6: This is less about what the and I think we've 361 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 6: kind of alluded to it. Less about what the what 362 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 6: USA couldn't do, and more about out what Venezuela was 363 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 6: able to do. They were able to overcome the fact 364 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 6: that they played last night they didn't have I guess 365 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 6: they did have almost everybody but Avila, who gave him 366 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 6: some good innings. He wasn't available. Palencia wasn't available unless 367 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 6: it was a safe situation. So if they were tied 368 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 6: in that situation in the bottom of the ninth, Palencia 369 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 6: wouldn't be in there. So things fell in place for them. 370 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,719 Speaker 6: But they fell in place because they took advantage of 371 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 6: situations that I think both teams had at different points. 372 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 6: The close out safe called second base on the stolen base. 373 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 6: Whitlock didn't keep them close because Sinejas is not He's 374 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 6: not fast, he's not like blazing speed, but he's able 375 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 6: to take the base high leg kick. Will Smith made 376 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 6: a good throw, not perfect throw, could have been called out. 377 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 6: Could Like there's so many plays in these types of games, 378 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 6: any kind of winner take all type of game, You're 379 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 6: going to look at all the little plays and say 380 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 6: who played better Venezuela. Venezuela one played better, and they 381 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 6: deserve to win this. They were really close other years, 382 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,160 Speaker 6: I mean they lost. They had the game in hand 383 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 6: in the eighth inning last time they played Team USA 384 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 6: until Trey Turner's home run which sent the US to 385 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 6: the finals and not Venezuela. 386 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 1: And this time Venezuela came out on top. 387 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, congratulations to Venezuela.

It's easily Eduardo Riguez. This team 415 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 6: was playing last night. They had to play a game 416 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 6: within twenty four hours and in these this environment where 417 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 6: all we. 418 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: Talked about the whole time. 419 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 6: Oh, Mark Derosi's hands are tied.

If he doesn't do that, 421 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 6: Venezuela is cooked because they don't have all their guys 422 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 6: in their pen. They don't have they don't have enough 423 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 6: innings really to with that.

I thought they 433 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 6: kind of took at Wardo Riguez out a little early. 434 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 6: So that's my MVP. But the MVP of the tournament 435 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 6: for me is Palencia.

Gee, 497 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 6: I wonder if we could just not have a workstoppage. 498 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 6: Oh G, they just sold out Loan Depot Park in Miami. 499 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 6: You know what, it took a little bit of extra effort. 500 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 6: It took really good players to come down to that ballpark. 501 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 6: Oh man, I guess Miami is just not a great 502 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 6: place for baseball. It's not what it looked like tonight. 503 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 6: I think it's maybe more of the product that you 504 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 6: put on the field.
