Are you getting affected by this winter 13 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: snowstorm that's hitting the entire country? 14 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: Basically, let me let me check. Uh, nope, it's still 15 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: gorgeous like it is all the time in Los Angeles. 16 00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: So in this episode, we're gonna some voicemails when we 17 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about Oswaldo Cabrera, who's kind of 18 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: a forgotten man. He had that gruesome injury. I feel 19 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: like the Yankees didn't play as well. I don't have 20 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: the numbers in front of me, but I feel like 21 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: they just they lost a little bit of that cohesiveness 22 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: of a unit like without him. And he's not like 23 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: an amazing player. He doesn't put up huge numbers, but 24 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: I feel like he's a very useful player. He rests guys, 25 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: and he can switch hit, and he can play HI 26 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: pretty much anywhere. So we'll talk about how important it 27 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: is going to be having him back. We got some 28 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: voicemails on John Carlos Stanton on who could be the 29 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: next Cam Schlitler, And we have our picks on who 30 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: could be that Yay to step up. And then we'll 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: talk about whether or not we are sleeping on the Yankees, 32 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: like are we underrating the Yankees? I mean, we've talked 33 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: about how we both think that the Blue Jays are 34 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: the team to beat, but you know, the Yankees are 35 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: getting Garrett Cole back, they still have the MVP, and 36 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: they've got some young talent, the Cam Schlittler's, the Ben Rices. 37 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: So we'll talk about all of that. Also, Bellinger's back, 38 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: So running it back a little bit. TK, you ready 39 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: get going. 40 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: Here, Let's do it? 41 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 3: Man? 42 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: All right? First, whoops, hang on, let me reset this. 43 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: I forgot my thing all right. First call today is 44 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: about Oswaldo Cabrera. 45 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 4: Hey there, Derek, So just wondering do you think Oswaldo 46 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 4: Cabrera can come back at one hundred after his injury. 47 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 4: His ankle looked pretty bad. 48 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: I gotta say, like that injury, I couldn't watch it. 49 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: I couldn't. I saw it when it happened, and the 50 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 1: minute that I saw that they captured in slow mo 51 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 1: on the replay that his ankle like snapped, I could 52 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: never watch it again. It was disgusting, Like I just 53 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: I don't have the stomach for that type of thing. 54 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: And I'm rooting for him. I think he's a very 55 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: useful player. I mentioned he can move around the diamond, 56 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: you can switch it. But if you look at his numbers, 57 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: they're not particular fantastic TK He's got six thirty ops. 58 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Oswaldo and the role he's 59 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: going to play this year. 60 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 2: Well, I think that it's pretty clear when you watch 61 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: the the injury, if you if you were able to 62 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: watch it because it was Craig quake grewsome. It's just 63 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 2: like the reaction from just the team in general, I 64 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 2: think says a lot about him. He really is like 65 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 2: a glue guy in the clubhouse. I think that that's important. 66 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: Kyle Schwarber is that for for the Phillies, and he's 67 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 2: obviously a much better player. But that's why they gave 68 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: him the contract they did, is because he not only 69 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: is he a great player, but he is also the 70 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: glue guy in the clubhouse for them. And I think as. 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: Well, I think the fifty plus home runs impacted that salary. 72 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 2: Just a hunt show, of course, but I'm saying the 73 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: the need to bring him back also, I think it 74 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: was a little bit of both of those qualities playing there. 75 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: But for Oswaldo, Yeah, everybody loves him. The fans love him. 76 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: He was always kind of smiling. You hear the the teammates, managers, 77 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: coaches wax poetic about the guy. I think in terms 78 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: of like just as a baseball player, can he come 79 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: back to one hundred percent, I don't know. It's tough 80 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: to say. I mean, I'm not sure if he had 81 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 2: any ligament damage in the ankle. I think it was. 82 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: If it's just structural and it's just a bone thing, 83 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: then I think yes. But ligament damage is always going 84 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: to be what's difficult. There's a lot of a lot 85 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: of turning in baseball, a lot of turning on you 86 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: your foot and stuff like that, especially with a swing. 87 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 2: But as a player, I really I do like him 88 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: a lot, you know, Like I said, he's a glue guy, 89 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 2: but he can play all over the diamond. He plays 90 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: the outfields, which hits. He's a he's a really really 91 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: nice bench piece to have. I think. 92 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, one thing that is interesting. We always thought of 93 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: him as somebody who didn't really hit as well against 94 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: lefties from the right side of the play. But last 95 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: year he hit three sixteen against lefties, So you hope 96 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: he can come back. I agree with you on like 97 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: the turning and the pivoting, especially at the corners. You know, 98 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: at first base and third base, two positions that he 99 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,119 Speaker 1: plays very fundamental work is necessary and if your feet 100 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: are clanky and and not healed properly, it can be 101 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 1: a problem. So let's hope he comes back nimble and 102 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: that we get to see that smile, because he's a 103 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: great guy to have. All Right, got a call here 104 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: about John Carlo Stanton. 105 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 5: Hell, this is Rogie going uh to ask you a question, man, Well, 106 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 5: what's you're thinking if MLB has strike next year. Well, 107 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 5: do you think something stay long enough to hit five 108 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 5: hundred in uh inside, do you think? 109 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 3: Do you let me know? 110 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 5: Do you think you know? 111 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 2: Like you know? 112 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 6: So? 113 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: Well, tell us how you really feel. All have a 114 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: great call. All right, So he's at four hundred and 115 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: fifty three home runs. Yeah, I've been thinking about this 116 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: all day since I got this call. If he hits 117 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: let's see, he has an amazing and amazing year this year. 118 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: Let's say he hits thirty five home runs, which for 119 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: him at this point in his career, unlikely, but if 120 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: he has a mostly healthy season, he's gonna do it. 121 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: He hit twenty four home runs last year. His power 122 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: was great, he missed half the season, he still hit 123 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: twenty four home runs. So thirty five over let's say 124 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty games, I think is possible. Yeah, 125 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: but he would still be, you know, basically twenty short. 126 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: And if there's no baseball in twenty seven, Yankees aren't 127 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: gonna resign him the next year. I can't see anybody 128 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: resigning him, honestly, Like because he can't move, as Raji said, 129 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: he can't run, he's basically, you know, he clogs the bases. 130 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: He's a one dimensional player at this point. I want 131 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: to see him get to five hundred, and that makes 132 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: me wonder, like, how much how much baseball are we 133 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: actually gonna miss in twenty twenty seven. I don't. I 134 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: find it hard to believe they're going to bag a 135 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: full season because that almost killed the sport last time, 136 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 1: and if it wasn't for steroids and Mark McGuire would 137 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: have killed the sport. 138 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, it would be absolutely catastrophic to miss 139 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 2: an entire season, and I am worried that that is 140 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 2: going to happen. But I think that it's totally about 141 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: about the lockout. If you want to split it evenly, right, 142 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: if he hits twenty five home runs each year, then 143 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 2: he gets the five hundred home runs, Like, can you 144 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 2: do that? Yeah? I think he can probably do that. 145 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: But health, it's always about health with Stantony. There is 146 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 2: always going to be a period of time when he misses, like, 147 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,679 Speaker 2: you know, twenty games or so, and he comes along 148 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 2: alive in the playoffs. But it is really kind of, 149 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: I guess, disappointing to see where you know, he's at 150 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: the kind of the twilight years of his career now, 151 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 2: his body starting to really betray him. I mean it 152 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 2: was before, but anounced really bad and he does kind 153 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 2: of handcuffed the entire lineup that it doesn't make it 154 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 2: a very you know, very maneuverable lineup. I think I 155 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 2: could see Derek like at the end of the two years, right, 156 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 2: and he becomes a free agent. I don't know, could 157 00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: you see the Marlins giving him like a one year, 158 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 2: ten million dollar deal like farewell tour, like come hit 159 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: five hundred here if he doesn't do it with the Yankees. 160 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: That's a really fascinating idea. It depends on where the 161 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: Marlins are at that point. If they need a DH, Yeah, 162 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: I can see him doing I could see them bringing 163 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: him in, honestly. Yeah. I mean, because there is a 164 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: you know DH in the National League, you know, trying 165 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,679 Speaker 1: to get to five hundred, finishing it off in Miami. 166 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: I could see him doing that, honestly. That's a really 167 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: good take. TK. We'll see how it shakes out. But 168 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get there with the Yankees, 169 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: just because of the combination of the injuries and the 170 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: lockout looming. I do think they're gonna miss some time 171 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven, But I don't think they're gonna 172 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: bang the whole season, but I can see him missing 173 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,119 Speaker 1: forty or fifty games and having him play an abbreviated 174 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: season like they did in twenty twenty. And I think 175 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: if that happens, gonna be tough for him to get 176 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: there with the Yankees. So we got another call here 177 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: about the Yankees pitching. 178 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 7: Yeah, Derek, he just signing from BAYFDE. 179 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 3: I'm just going I wonder, you know, Ken Schlittler, he. 180 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 7: Can't out of no way last year, you know, we 181 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 7: never really heard about him or anything like that, you know, 182 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 7: coming coming up in them. So I'm just want to 183 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 7: is there a guy that you think that that maybe 184 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 7: we haven't heard about this year that's coming up that 185 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 7: can have maybe the same impact of who knows, maybe 186 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 7: even beta impact. 187 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 2: We just want to get your thoughts on that. 188 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: Thanks, Jerry. Well. I think there's multiple pitchers who could 189 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: impact the Yankees. And every year the Yankees have to 190 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: go six, seven, eight, nine deep in their rotation, right, 191 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: there's always guys who get injured. And I think that 192 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: Chase Hampton coming back, he's somebody that has kind of 193 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: gotten forgotten a little bit because he had Tommy john 194 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: and missed most of the year last year, and and 195 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: TK you're a little bit blurry there. So you know, guys, 196 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: internet's bad. We're coded in ice like here, so I 197 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 1: don't know if it's my connection or his, but the 198 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 1: ice ice baby is not good and uh and uh 199 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: it's it's messing with the Internet. So I think that 200 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: Chase Hampton is somebody to watch out for. Henry Lalane 201 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: is still somebody who's on my radar because he's kind 202 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: of like big and and lefty and lanky and those 203 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: Brandy Johnson vibes. To me, who's on your Who's who's 204 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: like your go to watch guy? 205 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 2: Probably Carlos Lagronhey, to be honest, He's obviously very highly 206 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,599 Speaker 2: touted prospect of the Yankees right now. Pitched well in 207 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 2: the futures game. He's just a physically impressive person as well, 208 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 2: just like as an athlete, he's like six seven, two 209 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 2: forty eight, so he's a big, big guy, throws really 210 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 2: really hard, and they talk about the stuff that his 211 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: stuff plays really well. There was this poll that came 212 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: out a couple of days ago with MLB like ranking 213 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 2: all the minor league pitchers stuff and He's at the 214 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 2: top of the list in terms of that, like a 215 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 2: hundred mount hour fastball with like a both like an 216 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 2: eighty six mile an hour sweeper. So I really do 217 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: think that he could have a big impact with the 218 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 2: team relatively soon. I mean, it kind of depends on 219 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 2: how quickly he kind of sky skyrockets through the miners. 220 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 2: I mean, he's twenty two years old, so he's still 221 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 2: pretty young, and I believe he made it to double Yeah, 222 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 2: he was in Double A last season, so sometimes the 223 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 2: Yankees also like to have guys just skip Triple A 224 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: all together. That has happened before. And if if an 225 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: injury happens with the rotation or with the bullpen, I 226 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 2: could see it happening as well. But I think his 227 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 2: stuff plays in the bullpen the or the rotation. It 228 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 2: really depends, but that is definitely a guy that I'm 229 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 2: looking at as like a potential guy to emerge, kind 230 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 2: of like Schlitzler did last season. 231 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, let's move on. We do another 232 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 1: call here about the Yankees at large. 233 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 6: Let's see, Hey there, this is awesome. I don't know 234 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 6: if this is a hot take or not, but the 235 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 6: Blue Jays might be or are the team to beat 236 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 6: in the American League eest because they won it last year. 237 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 6: But I think the Yankees are still the best team 238 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 6: in the last if you look at their rotation. With 239 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 6: Garrett Cole looking coming back in a couple of months 240 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 6: into the season, you know, Will Warren, I think his 241 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 6: ceiling is higher. We're gonna get full year of Cam Schlitzler. 242 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 6: I really think the bullpen I don't think is as 243 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 6: bad as people think, and pluck that's mouldable throughout the year. 244 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 6: I really think the Yankees actually are still the best 245 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 6: team in the atleast especially after resigning Linger. Even though 246 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 6: it seems like they're running it back, it is going 247 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 6: to be a different team this year. The other the 248 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 6: thing they're missing, I think is a leadoff man, a 249 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 6: true leadoff man, which you know it is what it is, 250 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 6: just going to have to deal with it as it is. 251 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 6: Bolt he could be that, but he's hurt and can't 252 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 6: seem to figure it out. 253 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: But again I do I don't think Volpi can be 254 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: that because he stinks. I don't think he can be 255 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: the leadoff guy because he's not good. He's also hurt. 256 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: I don't think Volpi's going to come back anywhere near 257 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: one hundred percent, And I don't think that he's ever 258 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: going to be the Yankees leadoff man like he was 259 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: in the early part of twenty twenty four. But are 260 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: we sleeping on the Yankees? I mean Cole coming back, 261 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: you know, a full season of Louis Heel if he's healthy. 262 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: You know, what does Cam Schlitzler look like a full year? 263 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: Is he like a dominating young pitcher in this league? 264 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,599 Speaker 1: What does Judge do for an on court? Can he 265 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 1: win another MVP? I mean, it's not out of the 266 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: realm of possibility. If this team wins ninety five games, 267 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're a little fan in the bullpen. 268 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,719 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, the rotation is gonna be 269 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: a little thin to begin the year. But you know, 270 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: if you win some games early and kind of tread 271 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: water until Cole gets back, maybe you can avoid the 272 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: June swoon this year. 273 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. It just seems to be like clockwork 274 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 2: with this team that in the first two months of 275 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 2: the season they're gonna look like the best team in baseball, 276 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 2: and then they're gonna suck until like the All Star break, 277 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: and then they're gonna play five hundred the rest of 278 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 2: the way. That seems to be the pattern the last Yeah, 279 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 2: I guess since Spoon took over as manager, And as 280 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 2: frustrating as it is to watch the season and to 281 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 2: experience the season in that way, they do pretty consistently 282 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 2: make the playoffs, and they do kind of win above 283 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 2: ninety games and then they get in the dance, right, 284 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 2: That's sort of what they are selling you at this point. 285 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 2: But I think it's much more just on paper. They 286 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 2: have a good roster, right, It's all gonna come down 287 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: to health, like it is every season, and it's all 288 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 2: gonna come down to can the player play to the 289 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: back of his baseball card. If they can do that, 290 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 2: I think that they're a pretty good team and that 291 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 2: they are a legitimate threat to Toronto as being the 292 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: best team in the American League. But for me, Toronto, 293 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 2: if you look at it this way, they lost Bassett 294 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 2: and they replaced him with Dylan Ce's. They lost Boba 295 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: Schett and they replaced him with Okamotos, So they didn't 296 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 2: really get that much worse. The only thing I think 297 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: they missed out on is Kyle Tucker. I really thought 298 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: that he was gonna go to Toronto and he ends 299 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: up going to the Dodgers, obviously, But I do think 300 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 2: that the Yankees can be very good, and if they're 301 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 2: not healthy, they won't be just like every season, but 302 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: they have a chance for sure. And also Grisham is 303 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 2: a big question mark. Is Grisham gonna be a pumpkin 304 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 2: this season like he's been for most of his career 305 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 2: or is he gonna hit thirty four jacks? 306 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: Well, we'll see what do you predict he'll do. What 307 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: do you think Christiam's gonna do? Give me his give 308 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: me a slash line right now. 309 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 2: I think he's gonna hit two twenty five something like 310 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: that to twenty two thirty and he's gonna hit like 311 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: maybe fifteen to twenty home runs. 312 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say to twenty eight twenty 313 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: five home runs, all right, because I do think he 314 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: found a little bit of this power stroke last year. 315 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: I think his defense will be better, But if he 316 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: has that kind of performance, I could see them going 317 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: to Bellinger in centerfield and domingezn left a lot against 318 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: lefty against righty's rather and yeah, just move on from him. 319 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: At the end of I mean, it's a sunk cost. 320 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: You know, you're not can't get anybody to take the 321 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: contract if he's playing poorly. So what do you think 322 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna get out? 323 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 2: He would just be a very expensive fourth outfielder at 324 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 2: that point. 325 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. Basically, basically, what do you think we're gonna get 326 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: out of Ryan McMahon this year? You think he's because 327 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: he's always hit the ball hard, But he didn't hit 328 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: the ball enough, you know, I mean he whiffs a lot. 329 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on him? You think they're gonna 330 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: unlock him? 331 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, listen with him, it's play 332 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 2: really good defense. I need you to play really really 333 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 2: good defense. And if you can hit me two twenty 334 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: with twenty five home runs, I will take that. Yeah, 335 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 2: I will take I will take that all day long. 336 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: So that's don't It's not like I'm asking him to 337 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 2: hit forty jacks, you know, like I kind of feel 338 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 2: like Ben Rice can do that. I you know, I 339 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 2: think he can hit thirty five forty home runs on 340 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 2: the other side of the corner. But for yeah, for 341 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: mc mahon, it's it's can you hit me two twenty 342 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 2: and can you give me twenty five home runs. That 343 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: would be amazing, And I feel like that's possible. Am 344 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 2: I asking for a little bit much? Maybe, But I 345 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 2: don't think it's too much that he can't do it. 346 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 2: I think that is achievable for him. 347 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, Ben Rice, if he learns to hit lefties a 348 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: little bit, he will hit forty home runs. He's just 349 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: that kind of power. I mean, he's the ball so hard. 350 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: Chris Pender says we should sign Miguel and Duhar. What 351 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: are your thoughts on that? I love Mickey, Yeah, I 352 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: like him. 353 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 2: Don't sign him. I don't want him. 354 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I don't think he would sign with us. 355 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: I think he can get more playing time elsewhere because 356 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: Yankees will be basically getting him to play a little 357 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: bit of left field against left e's when you know. 358 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 2: I'll tell you this, If Stanton was going to be 359 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 2: out the entire season and there was a hole at DH, 360 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 2: I'd probably sign him. But I just feel like there 361 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 2: isn't really room for him right now. 362 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, right right now, Dimingez is your fourth outfielder, So 363 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: it would be, you know, assuming that Bellinger's not in 364 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: left field that day and Dimingez can't play against the 365 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: lefty like there's just not enough at bats for Enduhar 366 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: at this point. What are your thoughts on the Yankees 367 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: rotation at this point? The rotation options headed into the year, 368 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: We've got obviously Max free coming off a fantastic year. 369 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: Carlos Rodin, it sounds like he's gonna be back earlier 370 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: than anticipated, maybe late April, early May. Will Warren maybe 371 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: take a step forward. Clark Schmid, We're not gonna see 372 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: him till August or September. Schlittler, I mean, this guy, 373 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: he could be a stud. We could I mean I 374 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: could see him winning fifteen eighteen games. I could also 375 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: see him, you know, having the struggles that a rookie 376 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: would have. Ryan Yarbrough, he was pretty consistent filling in Luis. 377 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: I feel like we have a lot of options. Ryan 378 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: Weathers could give you some innings, and then Garrett Cole 379 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: coming back. What are your thoughts on the rotation at large? 380 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: Right now? 381 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 2: It's funny, I'm honestly thinking about just like where baseball is, 382 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 2: we have like ten starting pitchers now, just because the 383 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 2: guys go down so quickly. But anyway, I mean they 384 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 2: have a lot of depth, which I think is what 385 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 2: you need. It's kind of the name of the game 386 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 2: right now, which I like. I do think the Ryan 387 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: Weathers pickup, I think that was a good pickup. I 388 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: think he can be in the bullpen and it can 389 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 2: be a starter as well. Before guys come back. Cole Cole, god, 390 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 2: I really hope he's going to be I don't think 391 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 2: he's going to be Garrett Cole, but I really hope 392 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 2: he'll be like a really good number two or something 393 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 2: like that, like a really good number two between Freed 394 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 2: and Cole. But maybe Schlitler emerges as the legitimate ace 395 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 2: of the team, you know, the legitimate young ace of 396 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 2: the team. I guess it's very possible, and I'll give 397 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 2: you one. Derek as well. I feel like I have 398 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 2: this funny feeling that Matt Blake is going to figure 399 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 2: something out with Camillo d'aval and Dovall's gonna be lights out. 400 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 2: I just think the guy, I just think the guy's 401 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 2: stuff is too nasty and he just has to figure 402 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 2: out the command aspect, but his stuff is too nasty 403 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 2: to just not be good. I really that's my prediction 404 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 2: for the season as Camillo di All being like legitimately 405 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 2: a closing, like a guy who can close out games. 406 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 2: If bed Nord doesn't play to the back of his card, 407 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 2: we'll see. 408 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,719 Speaker 1: We got a couple more voicemaders. You can tell all 409 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: my internets because pictures are taken forever to to pop up. 410 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: So I don't think it's UTK that's blurry. I think 411 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: it's my internet, that's I was mentioning this before the call. 412 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 1: So when whenever it rains real bad, it messes with 413 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: my internet. And this is worse we've had. We've got 414 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: like two inches thick of ice on the ground and 415 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's messing with the signal and stuff. It's 416 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: been giving me problems all day. So sorry about the 417 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: the graphics taking a second to load. Guys, it's all running. 418 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 1: It runs dynamically off the internet, so you know, going 419 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: back in time here, Hopefully it'll it'll improve. Here's another call. 420 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 3: Hey, Derek, this is Jack from Connecticut. This whole off season, 421 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 3: I've been thinking about the idea of the Yankees running 422 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 3: it back. I can resigning Bellinger and Grisham, and my 423 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 3: thought has been, if Grisham doesn't hit thirty five homers, 424 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 3: the Yankees have gotten worse, you know, But that really 425 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 3: might not be the case. The more I'm thinking about it, 426 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 3: I mean, no more detail. 427 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 6: Than Mayhew's thinking it up up the middle. 428 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 3: Love you, DJ Anthony Bolthi's out to start the season. 429 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 3: Caballo is not much of an improvement offensively, but that's 430 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 3: more stolen basis. Kevin Williams isn't blowing games for us 431 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 3: in the back end there, and like Marcus Stroman's not 432 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 3: in the picture anymore. I think the Yankees, if they 433 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 3: do nothing, might even be a better team than they 434 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 3: were last year. Not to mention the increased help from 435 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 3: Ben Rice that I'm expecting. I don't know. I'm this 436 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 3: might just be the Yankees wearing me down and bring 437 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 3: training and filters getting kind of nervous. But I think 438 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 3: we're doing alright, maybe better than I would have thought. 439 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: You know, that's a great call. It's an optimistic call. 440 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: We're going to give him a round of applause. I 441 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: appreciate it. I wo' I shared his optimism. I think 442 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: that if everything goes right, yeah, sure, we can be 443 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: just as good as last year. But it sounds like 444 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: he's banking on everything going right, like nobody's gonna have 445 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: a really bad year out of the bullpen. Nobody's gonna 446 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: get hurt, you know what I mean, Like, there are 447 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: gonna be problems. 448 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I there, it's a baseball season. Things happen, Guys 449 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,479 Speaker 2: get hurt, Guys don't play well. It's a long, long season. 450 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 2: You know, there's not a it's not a sprint, it's 451 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 2: a marathon. They're gonna give you the same colloquialisms that 452 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 2: they give you every single year. But I kind of 453 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: agree to a certain extent that I do think that again, 454 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 2: if if guys are healthy and guys play well, like 455 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: it's one of those things, if all the planets aligned, 456 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 2: if all the stars align and everything comes together, they 457 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: can be a really really good team. They can. But 458 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: right now that's a huge question mark. There's a lot 459 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 2: of guys coming off injury that were hurt last season 460 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 2: or that didn't play well last season. And and look, 461 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 2: I don't think this is gonna happen, Derek, But like, 462 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 2: let me just have fun for a second. What if 463 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 2: Anthony Volpi just gets visited by a god or a 464 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 2: god like being and just touches his forehead and he 465 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 2: hits three thirty this year? 466 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: I mean what I mean, what's going I mean, what 467 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: if I magically grew to seven foot two overnight and 468 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: could dunkle basketball? Like, I mean, it's not gonna happen. 469 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 2: I make an extreme point, but just my point is 470 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: is like, if you get a couple of surprises here 471 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 2: and there, it can change the complexion of things. 472 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, so there there exists the possibility that certain guys 473 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 1: could really take off. We talked about Ben Rice, you know, 474 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe Christiaan really did find it. Maybe he 475 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: does hit thirty five home runs. You know, cal Rawly 476 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: hit sixty home runs last year. Nobody was expecting him 477 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,400 Speaker 1: to hit that many. I mean, he was a good hitter, 478 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: but nobody was expecting that. Like what if you know, 479 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 1: Stanton hits fifty home runs or something. You know, what 480 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: if something crazy like that happens. It's it's that's part 481 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,719 Speaker 1: of the fun of watching the year, and that's why 482 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: we gotta watch it. All right, ladies, gentlem I'm gonna 483 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: give the Internet a break today because it's been fighting 484 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: me all day.
