1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Touch out.

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 2: Welcome back to foul territory. We're gonna get into a

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 2: little WBC discussion. Boys, USA versus Canada tonight, our neighbors

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: to the north.

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 3: What do you got?

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: Joe Ryan's gonna come on for Clayton Kershaw if they

7
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: make it past this game. Matthew Boyd has left. We've

8
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: already heard about some roster moves with the bullpen. Tim Hill,

9
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: will vest right, Tyler Rodgers coming on. What do you

10
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: guys think happens tonight in the USA Versus Canada?

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 4: Yeah?

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 5: I think ultimately USA is gonna come out on top.

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 5: That's why I'm wearing this shirt. I think they do.

14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's in the blowout fashion ag.

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 5: I've heard you talk about it a little bit earlier.

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 5: I've talked about a little bit earlier. Canada team is

17
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 5: not a team to be messed with. This is probably

18
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 5: their best team in a long time. They've been playing well.

19
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 5: They beat a good Puerto Rico team. They ended up

20
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 5: beating a good Cuba team, so they're battle tested. USA

21
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 5: should not take this lightly. But I do see them winning,

22
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 5: you know, not by blowof fashion, but I do see

23
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 5: them winning.

24
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 4: You know, A pretty close game for sure.

25
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 6: Obviously this is the time when somebody for Canada needs

26
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 6: to step up in the bullpen. You've got some I

27
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 6: was looking over their roster and you got some guys.

28
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 6: Filipo Mont I mean I played with Filipomnt back in

29
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 6: twenty I think it was twenty twelve and maybe even

30
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 6: twenty eleven, and he was like twenty or twenty one

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 6: years old, came over in the Cliff Lee deal. You

32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 6: have to have somebody that steps up that you're like, oh,

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 6: I remember that name, and you know, oh, he's he's

34
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 6: able to throw for him because they don't have as

35
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 6: many guys as they had before in that bullpen that

36
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 6: were established, like you have a you have different different

37
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 6: Canadian closers that have gone over to Japan and had

38
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 6: great careers.

39
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 7: Scott Mathieson is the one that comes to mind.

40
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 6: I think he played in four of the WBCs. He'll

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 6: probably text me and be like, no, I played in

42
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 6: every single one of them except for this one. So

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 6: it's one of those things that this team has to

44
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 6: be able to have everything hit perfectly because some of

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 6: their strengths are and they're starting pitching with Soroka with

46
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 6: Jamison ty On. Fortunately for them, they have Soroka going tonight,

47
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 6: and can he be the guy that mixes and matches

48
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 6: because he's not gonna blow one hundred miles an hour

49
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 6: past these guys. And that's in my opinion I said

50
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 6: before this, that's not how you try to beat Team USA.

51
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 6: You can't try to outstuff them. You have to do

52
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 6: what Michael Lorenzen did to a T And then you

53
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 6: saw what happened when they got to a little bit

54
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 6: of some of the weaker guys in that Italian bullpen.

55
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 6: They still scored six runs against him. And I'm just

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 6: afraid if Canada can't put up six runs, it's gonna

57
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 6: be tough to keep the US under six runs.

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: All Right, Well, we got the Canada, don't forget the

59
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 2: Naylor brothers lineup is not case. We've talked about the

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: Naylor brothers. They've got some guys that can can swing.

61
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 2: You mentioned who has to step up for Canada. Eric

62
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: Who's the guy for the US that has to step

63
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 2: up and be the guy that leads either the pitching

64
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: staff or the offense.

65
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously it starts with Logan Web but that's

66
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 6: that's an easy one. But to me, it really has

67
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 6: to be the top of the lineup because you can't

68
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 6: pitch around Aaron Judge. And I don't know what the

69
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 6: line's gonna look like, the configuration. I assume Bobby WIT's

70
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 6: gonna be gonna be up there one or two, and

71
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 6: whoever it is ahead of judge.

72
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 7: Everybody says, well, you can't.

73
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 6: You can't pitch the judge because or you have to

74
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 6: pitch the judge because so and so is hitting behind them.

75
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 6: I think in a tournament like this, and Todd can

76
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 6: attest to this. In international baseball, when there's traffic on

77
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 6: the basis, everybody gets a little bit more panicked. It'll

78
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 6: be less with Soroka. And you know, Logan Web is

79
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 6: not gonna panic. These guys with big Lee experience are

80
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 6: gonna have are gonna have less panic in their system.

81
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 6: But it just when the table gets set in front

82
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 6: of judge, it makes them say, crap, we gotta throw

83
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 6: to them, or we can't just put them on to

84
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 6: load the bases for Kyle Swarb or Bryce Harper, whoever's

85
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 6: hitting behind him. I get that, but it really matters

86
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 6: if those guys ahead of them put him in a

87
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 6: spot where he can drive guys in. So am I

88
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,799
Speaker 6: saying Aaron Judge has to step up? No, I'm saying

89
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 6: the guys in front of him have to allow Aaron

90
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 6: Judge to be the best hitter on the planet like

91
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 6: he is.

92
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and to your point, the guys in front of

93
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 5: him have to do well, but also the guys behind

94
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 5: them too, because one or the other. I think there's

95
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 5: gonna be opportunities for both of these guys to step up.

96
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 5: Whoever's hitting in the front or behind. But a name

97
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 5: like a Bryce Harper and now he's two for ten,

98
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:53,239
Speaker 5: but guess what, he's viable to hit three home runs today,

99
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 5: you know, like a Pasquatina. The guy is that good

100
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 5: of a baseball player. I'm not really worried about him,

101
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 5: but he has to be ready to go. And I

102
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 5: think the bullpen too. I think the bullpen better be ready.

103
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 5: Once Web is done. These guys got to step it up,

104
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 5: keep doing what they're doing, get out, throw strikes, and

105
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 5: you know, basically when when and if Canada is losing,

106
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 5: they got to stomp on them and keep the pressure

107
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 5: on them. Because you've seen some of these games. USA

108
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 5: came back down eight nothing. You see Venezuela putting pressure

109
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 5: on Dominican in the last inning, so ultimately win the game,

110
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 5: win it by a lot, and don't keep putting the

111
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 5: pressure on these guys.

112
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: Well, by the way, we keep talking about the USA

113
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 2: and Canada game, there's also another game today, which is

114
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 2: a quarterfinal matchup with a couple of big name teams

115
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 2: in at Korea versus Dominican Republic in Miami is going

116
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: to be absolutely electric. I'm not going to ask you

117
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: all to break down the Korea team because we don't

118
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: know a lot about them. So maybe let's go a

119
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: little bit in the Dominican team. How many homers do

120
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: we think they hit? How many bat flips do we

121
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: think they'll have? How will they're pitching? Hold up Sandy

122
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: al contras That I'll pitch anywhere. I'll pitch five innings,

123
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: I'll pitch the ninth, I'll pitch the seventh. What do

124
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: you guys think happens in the Korea?

125
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 5: Dominican Todd, I'll go Krasty's ready, go ahead, big dog,

126
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 5: your itching.

127
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 6: No, I was just gonna I was gonna take the

128
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 6: tougher part. I'll take Korea. I'll take Korea. Oh God,

129
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 6: so that Todd can say, you know, all all the

130
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 6: home runs in the battlists, because we know Todd loves

131
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 6: all that flash and flare.

132
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 7: But it's Hunging Rio. It's hunting real. We know Hunging Reo.

133
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 6: He he had opportunities to pitch in the big leagues

134
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 6: after he left to go back and pitching Korea, and

135
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 6: he wanted to go back and pitching Korea. And he's

136
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 6: he's done well over there. He knows how to get

137
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 6: big league hitters out. The issue that I see is

138
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 6: Hunting Rio. I don't know where his velocity, his stuff,

139
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 6: any of that stuff is at is He was consistently

140
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 6: a guy that threw that cutter through, that big curveball

141
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 6: that he'd land for a strike, and they'd try to

142
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 6: get you to bounce, but that back door cutter, he'd

143
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 6: run it. He would try to run the back door

144
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 6: cutter more than he would like Clayton Kershaw cut her

145
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 6: down and in cut her up and in kind of thing.

146
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 6: And I'm just afraid if he doesn't establish the inside

147
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 6: part of the plate to these Dominican hitters, the way

148
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 6: that they look in this tournament, but also the way

149
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 6: that they look generally because they're All Stars and MVP

150
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 6: type players.

151
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 7: I'm just afraid it's not.

152
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 6: Going to go well because of the fact that you

153
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 6: can't just live out over the plate or out away

154
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 6: from these guys. You have to be able to get

155
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 6: in on their hands, to be able to neutralize some

156
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 6: of that extension that almost everybody up and down this

157
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:38,360

182
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: I think a few things.

183
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 5: The atmosphere his career going to be ready for the

184
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 5: for the loud music, the craziness of the fans. I

185
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 5: think they are for one, I think they've been around

186
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 5: it before.

187
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 4: It's just going to be a.

188
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 5: Little bit more looser, a little bit more fun, a

189
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 5: little bit more you know, attitude. If they could make

190
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,359
Speaker 5: this game low scoring, I think Korea does have a shot.

191
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 5: And I say that lightly. I think they do have

192
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 5: a shot. And you have a veteran in Hinshew, like

193
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 5: listen if he can manipulate the strike zone and throw

194
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 5: a lot of strikes, because this team has been very

195
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 5: good as hitters, laying off all those pitches that a

196
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 5: lot of the times they usually swing at. But again,

197
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 5: if Korea is gonna keep this score low. The discipline

198
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 5: of this team. They've played together for a long time.

199
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 5: These guys know each other. Yeah, they do have a shot,

200
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 5: but if they start giving up even an infield single,

201
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 5: it doesn't matter. The crowd's gonna go absolutely bonkers. They're

202
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 5: going to be spinning around the bases. This team plays

203
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 5: really well in the Dominican and they have some bats

204
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 5: that are absolutely some of the best in the world.

205
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 5: So finding a way to minimize runs, having those big

206
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 5: innings minimize, then Korea will have their shot.

207
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 6: All right, Well, we know Time's learn his Olympic his

208
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 6: Olympic USA quarter zip, so we know he's for USA.

209
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 6: We know that aj has been born in New York, Florida, Chicago.

210
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 6: He's one hundred percent American. So tonight, are you cheering

211
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 6: for Korea to play the US after they win or

212
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,359
Speaker 6: are you like it's okay whoever they play.

213
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: Whoever praps, it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter. I mean,

214
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: look at how it went against Italy. It doesn't matter

215
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: who they play. It's it's just an easy tournament for

216
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: the US to slide right through. Right now, of course

217
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: I'm hearing, I won't listen I want the best matchups

218
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 2: right in USA versus Dominican in Miami would be absolutely incredible.

219
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: But do we think here's a better question.

220
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: Do we think Dominican is a problem for anybody that

221
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: has to face him if they beat Korea? And then

222
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask both of you guys, is and whoever

223
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: wants to answer, do we think Let's say, Korea is

224
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: really good at playing small ball and not a lot

225
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: of these teams are used to playing and defending the

226
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: small ball. The bunch, the steals, the hit and runs.

227
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 2: Korea does that and Japan does that. That's why they've

228
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: been so successful in this tournament. If it's tight in

229
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 2: the end, Korea gets a guy on, they bunt and

230
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 2: we see someone maybe make a mistake throwing a ball

231
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: to a base. We've seen that from some of these relievers.

232
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: Is Dominican a problem for you guys? And can the

233
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: Korea small ball be a problem for the Dominican today?

234
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think a little bit of both.

235
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 5: And I think with Korea, I talked about it, for

236
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 5: their discipline and their honor of the game and how

237
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 5: these guys play, they're a problem for anybody. Korea, Japan, Chinese,

238
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 5: type pei. You know, Chinese tip pey just didn't have

239
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 5: the firepower. That was their problem. But this Korea team

240
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 5: they play hard. They play hard against Japan. They are

241
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 5: gonna come out and they are going to slap the

242
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 5: ball the other way. They're gonna get the bunt down,

243
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 5: They're gonna go first to third. They're gonna be in

244
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 5: the right positions. You're not gonna see many mistakes. And

245
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 5: if you do see some mistakes, it's because of the

246
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 5: atmosphere and the crowd, and that got to them a

247
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 5: little bit. But this team is ready for it. They're

248
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 5: ready for all the smoke. They're respectful, they honor the

249
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 5: other team. But ultimately this team here, you saw them,

250
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 5: they're crying, they're ready to go. They've wanted this moment

251
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 5: for a long time. It's just a matter of how

252
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 5: the pitching is gonna be and if they're ready for

253
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 5: this moment, you know, coming over here to play against

254
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 5: a really good team.

255
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 6: All right, Well then we got to get to the

256
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 6: next game. Then Japan versus Venezuela A jay. I gotta

257
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 6: ask you first, who do you think has the better

258
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 6: starting pitcher, because then I want it based on the

259
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 6: lineup that they're gonna be facing Ranger Suarez from Venezuela

260
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 6: versus Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Obviously, Yamamoto's had the better season, but

261
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 6: I mean the better career in the big leagues so far.

262
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 6: But do you feel like Rangers' ability to change speeds

263
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 6: will be enough to keep the Japanese lineup down one

264
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 6: hundred percent?

265
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 2: And I also think he's pitched his huge games for

266
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: the Phillies. Let's not forget this. Dude's a monster in

267
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 2: the postseason. He's an absolute monster in the postseason. He's

268
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: had unbelievable postseason success. So he can slow the heart,

269
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: he can breathe, he has all the all the tools

270
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: to be fine. And the one thing I love about

271
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: him is he's left handed cratzy. The Japanese lineup has

272
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 2: a ton of lefties in it. Whether you're going show Hey, Murkami,

273
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 2: whoever you want to go through this list Yoshida. They

274
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: have a ton of lefties, so he can neutralize them

275
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: with his not only has change up with the little

276
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: breaking ball he throws. So I think this is a

277
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: great matchup for Venezuela. Listen, do we all know what

278
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 2: Yamamoto can do we saw it in the World Series. Absolutely,

279
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: But if they can survive that and then get to

280
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: the bullpen, Venezuela, as we talked to Carlos narvaias, they

281
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: have some dudes coming out of the bullpen, and the

282
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: offense for Venezuela is real.

283
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 3: Salvador Prez Suarez rise.

284
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 2: I mean, the names are all names you've heard of

285
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: Akunya right, This offense is real. So I think if

286
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: they keep it close, the pressure starts mounting on Japan,

287
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 2: the crowd will get behind Venezuela. I think this is

288
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 2: an unbelievable matchup. I can't wait to call this game

289
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: tomorrow night on Fox.

290
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, and again, like you said, the big point is

291
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 5: left on left. You know you see Shoheo Tani, he

292
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 5: is just in a different atmosphere. When it comes to that,

293
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 5: he'll be out in front of a ball scoop it

294
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 5: out for a home run.

295
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna be ready to go. He's been.

296
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 5: I've saw some some clips of him teaching guys, get

297
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 5: your elbow up.

298
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 4: Next thing you know he hits a home run. So

299
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 4: these guys are gonna be ready to go.

300
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 5: They understand what the atmosphere is, and I think Showy

301
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 5: is gonna explain to them that too as well. Venezuela

302
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 5: team with Salvador Perez. I mean, he's gonna get these

303
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 5: guys going. He doesn't want to go home. So we'll

304
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 5: see who's gonna throw that first punch, because when it comes,

305
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 5: then the next team is gonna be on the rope.

306
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 4: So it's game. These games are gonna be long, They're

307
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 4: gonna be drawn out.

308
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 5: There's gonna be a lot more timeouts, and we're gonna

309
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 5: see who's gonna come out victorious. I mean, talk about

310
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 5: a guy that hasn't really done much yet. You Henniyo Suarez.

311
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 5: Watch out for him too. He might even be starting

312
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 5: or get a pinch it appearance. Watch out all.

313
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: Right, real quick? Who wins? I can't because I'm commentating.

314
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: I'm commenting. I'm commentating, So who wins?

315
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: Guys?

316
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 2: Give me the give me the give me the fourth

317
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 2: semi finalists? Off these four games we have coming, Who's

318
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 2: who's go ahead?

319
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 4: Time? All right?

320
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 5: I'm going Japan finding a way to win. It's gonna

321
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 5: be a pretty close game. I'm going Usa. I'm going

322
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 5: Italy Verse Japan. Excuse me, I'll go Usa versus Dominicano.

323
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 6: I'm going Puerto Rico versus Puerto Rico's got seth Lugo going,

324
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 6: so I like that Versus Japan. I guess that's chalk

325
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 6: and I'm chalk with the US and Dominican on the

326
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 6: other side.

327
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,480

Speaker 2: write all day. So what's your big news you're breaking today?

344
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 9: No big News AJ But certainly we have a meaningful

345
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 9: game tonight in Houston, and it's going to be really

346
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 9: interesting to see just how this all plays out. Canada,

347
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 9: like Italy, has a number of major league players, and

348
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 9: they're not going to be afraid. Obviously, they've got Mike

349
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 9: Soroka on the mound. He's faced a lot of these guys.

350
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 9: Do I expect the US to win? Of course, I

351
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 9: expect the US to win, But as we all learn

352
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 9: the other night, in one game, and you guys know this,

353
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 9: anything can happen.

354
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 6: If the game goes in Canada's favor early with Soroka

355
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 6: doing well on we assume Logan Web's gonna do well,

356
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 6: so it'll be low scoring. Do they have the punch

357
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 6: in their lineup to be able to push them past

358
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 6: a US team that you assume is gonna score some

359
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 6: runs at some point?

360
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 9: We have assumed that the entire tournament, and they have

361
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 9: at times done that. They've been inconsistent offensively. The US

362
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 9: has now Canada has Josh Naylor, Tyler O'Neill, bow Naylor,

363
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 9: a number of guys who have major League experienced or,

364
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 9: in the case of Owen Casey, major league ready. So yes,

365
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 9: I do believe they have enough punch if it gets

366
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 9: to that kind of game. Sure, But again the question becomes,

367
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 9: how is this going to play out for the US. Now,

368
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 9: keep in mind there are going to be a number

369
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 9: of different relievers in play tonight for the US. Tyler

370
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 9: Rodgers joining the team, Will vest Is here as well,

371
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 9: and there was one other that is also joining the team,

372
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 9: oh Tim Hill. So three new relievers coming in and

373
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 9: we're going to see if the team advances. Joe Ryan

374
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 9: come into play, possibly for the championship game. But they've

375
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 9: got to get there, and they probably learned the other

376
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 9: night that you cannot look past any opponent. Mark Durosis

377
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 9: said yesterday, they probably went into that game a little

378
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 9: overconfident and got a wake up call.

379
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 5: Do you see any or in the foreseeable future for

380
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 5: tonight you see any changes you know, back to the

381
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 5: original lineup? Probably, of course, But is there any names

382
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 5: you think that might hop in there that you don't

383
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 5: think should be playing or should not be playing?

384
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 4: Do you see any of those kind of changes.

385
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 1: No.

386
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 9: I expect to see Harper and Bregman back in the lineup, Todd,

387
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 9: and I expect to see as well Cal Rowley back

388
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 9: in the lineup.

389
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 10: He caught web in that first game.

390
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 9: The one significant move, if you want to call it

391
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 9: that even would be p Crow Armstrong for Byron Buxton,

392
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 9: and that is going to happen. Krol Armstrong is going

393
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 9: to be in there, and of course he's going to

394
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 9: be in there. He had two home runs the other night,

395
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 9: looked great like Buxton is a premier center field. So

396
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 9: that's the one that maybe is different than the previous

397
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 9: lineup we saw with this group.

398
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 8: The number one rated ticketing app is seat geek and

399
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 8: you can get ten percent off on sea geeks app

400
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 8: by using the code territory ten, So you should use it.

401
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 2: Aj Oh, I'm definitely going to use it for WBC

402
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: games and Jami because I want to go to the

403
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: semifinals in the finals.

404
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: And they're going to be sold out.

405
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 2: Absolutely go spring training games for the people out there

406
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: who want to go to spring training games. Absolutely great

407
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: idea best seats radar one through ten, and I recently

408
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 2: had to use seageek to buy tickets to a Florida

409
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: Gators basketball game that was sold out. So I love

410
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: the code territory ten percent off and the rating is

411
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: the best.

412
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 8: Yes, he's talking about each ticket rated on a scale

413
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 8: of one to ten, so you know you're getting a

414
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 8: good deal. So look for the green dots. Green means good,

415
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 8: red means bad. And of course we have a code

416
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 8: for you, like I mentioned, it's Territory ten for ten

417

Speaker 8: E R R I O R why one zero. Make

420
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,159

Speaker 8: the app and have the code automatically added to your account.

422
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 10: So you can use it later. Thank you to see Geek.

423
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 7: Adding those three relievers.

424
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 6: And most likely you said about Joe Ryan possibly if

425
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 6: they make the finals, does that give them a little

426
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 6: bit of different leeway with Nolan McClain. Is there a

427
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 6: chance he'd be ready for a bullpen appearance or the

428
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 6: Mets say no, if he's not going to be used

429
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 6: a certain way, or have you not been privy to

430
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 6: that information.

431
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: No.

432
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 9: If Nolan McClain pitches in the championship game, which is

433
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 9: the expectation, that's how it's lined up. If they get there,

434
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 9: then he would start. That would be my expectation.

435
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 10: Joe Ryan would be not quite an emergency guy, but

436
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 10: not someone you would expect to see start a game.

437
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 9: He just has made one spring training start coming off

438
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 9: that lower back inflammation. He pitched three strong innings in

439
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 9: that spring training start, but he is not.

440
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 10: Built up for anything like a start in a WBC.

441
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 9: I would think it would be one innings max for him,

442
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 9: if indeed they get that far. But guys, we're talking

443
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 9: about a team that just did lose to Italy, faces

444
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 9: Canada tonight and then if it wins, would face the

445
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 9: winner of the Dominican Republic Korea quarterfinal in Miami on Sunday,

446
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 9: And regardless of who wins that game, I think the

447
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 9: Dominican is, of course favored.

448
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 10: It's not going to be easy. So I think if

449
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 10: there's one thing we've all learned here, including the manager of.

450
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 9: This team and the players on this team, don't look

451
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 9: ahead one game at a time.

452
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 2: Ken, what has the strategy changed for the US Because

453
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: Clay Home's gone, right, Matthew Boyd back gone, now they

454
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: have Joe Ryant coming in their Their playing originally was

455
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: kind of to piggyback and and use relievers when they

456
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 2: could if they needed them. Has that strategy changed now

457
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 2: they're hoping Logan Web probably goes five innings at least

458
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: tonight with this new pitch count, and then they can

459
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: then they can deploy their relievers however they won, and

460
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: then they you know, then they get the off day

461
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 2: and then they can then they have schemes going for

462
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: hopefully five or six innings, and then they can use

463
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 2: the kind of the same guys because it won't be

464
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: back to back days, right, So has the strategy for

465
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: the US changed a little bit after what happened, especially

466
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 2: in the Italy game where they were kind of stuck

467
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: with who they had McLean and then Yarborough and then

468
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 2: they were like, oh man, who do we pitch next?

469
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: Or has it changed a little bit?

470
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 9: I don't know aj that it's changed as much as

471
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 9: circumstances have changed. And what has happened here is a

472
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 9: number of pitchers, horse starters, Matthew Boyd being one of them,

473
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 9: Clay Holmes being another, Michael Waka a third. Those guys

474
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 9: have to get ready for the season and they cannot

475
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 9: be guaranteed innings at this point. At this point, Mark

476
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 9: de Ross is going to go with whoever is pitching best,

477
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 9: and the piggyback system that we've seen in other games

478
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 9: does not really apply in the knockout round. They're going

479
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 9: for it, right, So that is one reason why the

480
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 9: starters are shuffling out, some more relievers are shuffling in,

481
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 9: and yes, they want as many bullpen arms as they

482
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 9: can get. Someone asked yesterday if it's a blowout one

483
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 9: way or the other, might we see Clayton kershaw tonight

484
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 9: and DeRosa's answer basically was I've got ten relievers, so

485
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 9: probably the answer that would be no.

486
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 10: And that is why because they.

487
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 9: Are obviously in this particular situation now as opposed to

488
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 9: pool play when there is less urgency.

489
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 10: There's certainly urgency, but now you have to win every night.

490
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 6: Was all this ancillary's stuff with the what he said

491
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 6: miss bo postgame? Now you know other comments that were

492
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 6: different in things taken construed. Has it been a distraction

493
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 6: maybe for the manager and staff, but you feel like

494
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 6: it's been a distraction for the players when you talk to.

495
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 9: Them, I would not say it's been a distraction for

496
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 9: the players, And in talking to some of them yesterday,

497
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 9: I wouldn't say some of them were not aware of it,

498
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 9: but they're certainly not hanging on social media every day

499
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 9: and looking at it and just went wow, look at

500
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 9: what's going on. That's not kind of how they roll

501
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 9: for the most part, so they know what needs to

502
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,959
Speaker 9: be done here. Has it been a distraction for DeRosa

503
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 9: and his staff, Yes, I would say that it's occupied

504
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 9: some of their time, no question about it. They have

505
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 9: talked about it, and DeRosa's gotten a lot of support

506
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 9: from people within the USA Baseball not just of course

507
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 9: the players, but the coaches and others. And he's had

508
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 9: some people reach out to him friends of his of

509
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 9: course throughout the game as well. So yeah, it's been

510
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 9: a distraction certainly for DeRosa, there's no question about that.

511
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 9: I would not say it's really affected the players.

512
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's time to move on from all

513
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 4: that and let's go to try and win a ballgame.

514
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 5: For me, my question to you is Aaron Judge is

515
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 5: probably a guy that Canada is probably gonna try and

516
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 5: stay away from in my opinion, I mean, I feel

517
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 5: like anybody should try and stay away from him. Who's

518
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 5: that guy behind him that's going to have to step up?

519
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 5: You know, they have so many guys that can play

520
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 5: that are you know, productive that have been there before.

521
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 5: Who's the one guy in your opinion, like, hey man,

522
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 5: it's put up her shut up time here, let's go.

523
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 9: I would say Bryce Harper, and I don't know that

524
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 9: I would put it quite in that sense. Todd put

525
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 9: up her shut up up, but he's two for ten.

526
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 9: Didn't play in the last game, DeRosa said. One reason

527
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 9: I didn't play him. He's struggling a little bit. I thought,

528
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 9: get him off his feet, give him a day to

529
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 9: work and just kind of get away and he'll come

530
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 9: back strong. Now, of course, they put themselves in a

531
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 9: position where they might not have had Bryce Harper playing.

532
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 10: At all if not for Team Italy. But here we are.

533
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 10: Bryce Harper is a big game guy.

534
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 9: We know that, and I would expect that he is

535
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 9: someone who is going to want to play a major role.

536
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 4: Now.

537
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 10: The lineup is so deep.

538
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 9: We can be talking about this with any player. Cal Raley,

539
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 9: let's see him do something. Bobby with Junior is capable

540
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 9: of taking over a game at any time, as we

541
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 9: saw against Mexico and right down the line.

542
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 10: So I don't know that anyone has to put up

543
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 10: her shut up.

544
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 9: But Harper is the guy that I'm interested to see tonight,

545
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 9: just how he goes about it and how he fares.

546
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 6: Talking to the players on either side. Have anyone brought

547
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 6: up the fact that team USA Women's Hockey and Canada

548
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 6: Women's hockey played against each other and the men played

549
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 6: against each other.

550
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 7: Have they brought that up?

551
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 6: Because that's what the fans talk about, So it's interesting

552
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 6: to hear what the players have been saying to you.

553
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 9: Yes, that has come up, and yesterday some of the

554
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 9: Canadian players were talking about it, and DeRosa mentioned that

555
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 9: Jack Hughes reached out I believe to him, and then

556
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 9: he's voted the text to a group you know, the

557
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 9: group chat that they have, and seems that there are

558
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 9: going to be some jerseys Warren Hockey jerseys worn by

559
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 9: the US players, either in BP or around the clubhouse

560
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 9: something today along those lines.

561
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 10: Yesterday Josh Naylor was wearing a Paul Koreer jersey. Now

562
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 10: Paul Korea is I don't believe active at he Warre

563
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 10: in hockey. I'm not a hockey fan, so don't hold

564
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 10: me to this.

565
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 9: But he's been wearing a different jersey of a Canadian

566
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 9: hockey legend every day during their workouts. So yes, that

567
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 9: is certainly something that has come up. It's kind of

568
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 9: a cool PostScript here to what happened in the Olympics,

569
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 9: and we'll see how it plays out.

570
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: And we're I know, Canada, they have to be Canada first,

571
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: the USA does to get to the semifinals, Dominican has

572
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 2: to be Korea. What kind of matchup will that be

573
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: if it comes to USA Dominican in Miami semifinals, both

574
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 2: basically all star teams.

575
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 3: How great?

576
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 2: Listen, we got to get there, I know before everyone says,

577
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: but how amazing will that game be if it comes

578
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: to fruition?

579
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 9: Amazing AJ And yes, we've got to get there, as

580
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 9: you just said, But it is something that I would

581
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 9: be definitely looking forward to, and it would be something

582
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 9: that would be a lot of fun to cover. And

583
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 9: just the atmosphere in Miami. It's not as if you

584
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 9: were playing this game in Houston. It's a different.

585
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 10: World in Miami. Miami, my view, is kind.

586
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 9: Of the capital of Latin America, and there are people

587
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 9: from all different Latin American countries in Miami, a great

588
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 9: number of Dominicans, of course, and it would just be

589
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 9: something else to see, particularly given what we've seen so

590
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 9: far from the games involving the Dominican Republic in Miami,

591
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 9: just how electric they've been, how intense and passionate the

592
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 9: fans have been.

593
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 10: So that game would be a blast, no doubt.

594
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 9: And the fact that Skeins would be starting would just

595
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 9: add an element to it because here is or here

596
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 9: would be Paul Skins against Vlad Junior Tatist, Junior Manny Machado,

597
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 9: Katel Marte, Heraldo Podomo right down the line, all of

598
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 9: these great great Dominican players, Junior and Caminar, and I'm

599
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 9: sure I'm missing a few.

600
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 10: So yeah, that would be something to see.

601
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: Okay, so we're talking Dominican, we're talking USA. Now everyone

602
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 2: talks about the Dominican and their home run celebrations, and

603
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: then there's this kind of this, I don't want to

604
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 2: call it a false narrative by people like you Ken

605
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: that say the US isn't having any fun. Right, they

606
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: don't have the home run celebrations.

607
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: They don't have not said that at all, because they

608
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 3: don't have the bats, they don't have the bat flips.

609
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: Right, So if the USA does play Dominican, and let's

610
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: say Aaron Judge is one of the most stoic people

611
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 2: we've ever seen hits a big home run.

612
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 3: Will we get a bat flip?

613
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: Will we get a smile out of Aaron Judge as

614
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 2: he's running around the bases. Will we get a little

615
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 2: extra like the Dominican the Venezuelan players do, I mean

616
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: they hit a home run, it is a pure party

617
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: around the bases.

618
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 9: First of all, I believe we were on the broadcast

619
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 9: together the other day when we addressed this, and I

620
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 9: did say that the US players were playing with joy,

621
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 9: and they might show it a little bit different. And

622
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 9: we also saw in the Mexico game when Judge hit

623
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 9: that two run home or early, he gestured troyed the

624
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 9: dugout and flipped his bat and looked more excited.

625
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 10: Than you usually see Aaron Judge.

626
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 9: So the false narratives, you're asking the question and inventing

627
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 9: the narratives yourself.

628
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 10: Anyway, they just showed joy in a different way.

629
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 9: And this is a cool cultural element here that kind

630
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 9: of defines the different countries. And that's the beauty of

631
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 9: the World Baseball Classic.

632
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 10: It's the beauty of diversity.

633
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 9: You have different points of view, different ways of approaching things,

634
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 9: and I don't know that it makes the US players

635
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 9: any less joyful or any less I don't know what

636
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 9: the word would be, even just as I don't know

637
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 9: that you can criticize the Dominican players for the way

638
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 9: they act. That's just who they are, man, And it

639
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 9: bothers me when people want homogenous kind of reactions, everyone's

640
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 9: got to act. The saying it bothered me in the

641
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 9: old days, Oh my gosh, can't flip a bat. It's

642
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 9: equally kind of silly now to say, why aren't these

643
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 9: guys flipping bats? So I don't know, AJ take your

644
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 9: narrative and you know, just talk somewhere else.

645
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,719
Speaker 6: I should have known this before I asked the question,

646
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 6: how many WBCs have you covered?

647
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 10: All of them? Every one of them?

648
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 6: Is this the most vibrant WBC. Vibrant isn't the right word,

649
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 6: but is it the Have they just continued to get

650
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 6: better with them because the talent increases, or do you

651
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 6: feel like there was another one that like sticks out

652
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 6: where you're like, ah, man, that one was a little

653
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 6: bit better than this one because of this.

654
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 10: The last one, to me was incredible.

655
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 9: And the reason I say that, eric is because every game,

656
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 9: at least in the later portion of the tournament were

657
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 9: really exciting. And I might be exaggerating at some but

658
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 9: I remember just the Mexico Japan game in the semifinal,

659
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 9: What a game that was. The US Venezuela game in

660
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 9: the quarterfinal, that was an incredible game, and those kinds

661
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 9: of moments is what makes a tournament so electric. We

662
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:47,479
Speaker 9: haven't seen quite that consistency of great games, I guess

663
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 9: at this point, but that's not to say it won't happen.

664
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 9: And we're in the quarterfinal round now. The games I

665
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 9: just mentioned were all quarterfinals or later. And of course

666
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 9: the US Japan game to decide that classic was so

667
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 9: the last one to me was really special, but this

668
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 9: one has every potential to be the same.

669
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 3: Well, Ken, thank you.

670
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 2: You can see Ken and I on the Fox one

672
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 2: few nights. And also Ken, by the way, it's not

673
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 2: a false narrative. If you invent it, then it becomes

674
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: true because you invent it. But I am here for

675
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 2: the bat flips, I am here for the fun, I

676
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 2: am here for the parties. And listen, if you watch

677
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 2: A Venezuela, A Dominican or any of those games, if

678
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 2: you're not smiling, when they hit a home run. No

679
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 2: matter what team you're rooting for, then you're doing it wrong.

680
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: So thank you Ken for joining us. Go write your paper,

681

Speaker 6: been having an incredible, incredible tournament for the four and

696
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 6: zero Italians. What is this vibe feeling like and where's

697
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 6: the team going from here?

698
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it's been a ton of fun. I

699
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 11: haven't had this much fun playing baseball in a long time,

700
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 11: and we have a really good group of guys and

701
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 11: it's been a lot of fun to be around. And so,

702
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 11: you know, we're taking it one day at a time.

703
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 11: We got to work out today and preparing for Puerto Rico.

704
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 4: Hey, so you look, you look a little sluggish. You

705
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 4: look a little tired.

706
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 5: Have you not been getting a little bit of that

707
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 5: that espresso, cappuccino whatever you guys are drinking over there?

708
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 11: Uh, probably having too much of it. So I'm staying

709
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 11: up too late. So uh, that's good, that's fun. I

710
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 11: don't know how viny three of them, so I'm not

711
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 11: sure what time he fell asleep the other night.

712
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wanted to ask about that a little bit.

713
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 5: Who came up with the idea and who's making the

714
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 5: batch there, because sometimes it looks like guys are a

715
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 5: little fire too fired up, you know what I'm saying.

716
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a little trial and error.

717
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 11: I'm not sure exactly who came up with it, but uh,

718
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 11: the first first couple of times we did it, we

719
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,479
Speaker 11: were making it right away and so guys were taking

720
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 11: it and just burning their mouth. So we kind of

721
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 11: came up with a little system of making it. Maybe

722
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 11: a little sooner, or adding a little cold water to

723
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 11: it to to help help help go down easier.

724
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 2: John Kratch mentioned you're from Michigan, okay, And I get

725
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: that your your your.

726
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 3: Heritage is Italian.

727
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 2: But was there a little bit of you rooting for

728
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 2: the USA to get through so you guys might get

729
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 2: a chance to play him again or were you just

730
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 2: like completely Italian screw the USA.

731
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 11: I mean, I can't say that part, but no, it's

732
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 11: just we're going out here to win. So whatever happened happened.

733
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 11: So I had some buddies from the other team texting

734
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 11: me and we're just having some fun with it. But

735
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 11: now we came out to win every game, and so

736
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 11: fortunately for the US it worked out.

737
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 6: One of the things that AJ's brought up is like

738
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 6: the US is a little hamstrung with their pitching. Can

739
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 6: you attest to being on another team besides the American

740
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 6: team that your pitching is hamstrung too, just because of

741
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 6: all the regulations or do you feel like do you

742
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 6: feel like Francisco Savelli has carte blanche and he's just

743
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 6: able to throw out there whoever he wants to throw

744
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:42,399
Speaker 6: out there.

745
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 11: No, Unfortunately, yeah, we have a ton of restrictions as well.

746
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 11: Just most of our pitchers are affiliated with an organization,

747
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 11: so yeah, it can be kind of tough to maneuver.

748
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 11: But our starting pitching has done a great job for

749
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 11: us and getting deeper into games, which has been which

750
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 11: has been huge, So we hope for the same come Saturday.

751
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 5: Real quick, if you don't mind moving your camera over

752
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 5: just a little bit maybe the other way.

753
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 4: Sorry, perfect.

754
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 5: My question to you is you got all these guys

755
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 5: coming with Italian heritage. You guys come together, heard the

756
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 5: flights are great, everybody come together. What's one guy on

757
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 5: this team who you you know, maybe heard of or

758
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 5: haven't heard of where you're.

759
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 4: Kind of glueing too, You're like, you're you're.

760
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 5: Hanging out with all the time, like because there's a

761
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 5: lot of different animals on this team, there's a lot

762
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 5: of different perspectives.

763
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 4: Give me a guy that you think.

764
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 5: Right now or that you know that you're you're getting

765
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 5: even friendlier with.

766
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, honestly, it's just crazy how close we've

767
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 11: gotten in such a quick period of time just with

768
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 11: the whole team in general. And so I don't know

769
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 11: if there is one name. It's just been great to

770
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 11: get to know everybody, and obviously Vinnie's got the big

771
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 11: personality and he's been the leader of this clubhouse and

772
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 11: he gets all the credit in the world for having

773
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 11: us as close as we are and helping this be

774
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 11: such a fun experience for everybody.

775
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 7: You guys are four to oh so far.

776
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 6: If it doesn't end up in a championship, is this

777
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 6: an unsuccessful tournament for Team Italy.

778
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 11: I mean, we're not looking at it that way. We're

779
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 11: just trying to take it, you know, one day at

780
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 11: a time. And obviously the last two games probably were

781
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 11: the two biggest wins in Italian baseball history, and so

782
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 11: that's been tremendous. But we haven't reached our goal yet,

783
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 11: and our our goal is to get to Miami and beyond.

784
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,479
Speaker 11: So we have a you know, really tough team coming

785
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 11: up with Puerto Rico, and we gotta be ready for him.

786
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,240
Speaker 3: John Vinni.

787
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 2: If Vinnie is the leader, so he would be the godfather, right,

788
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: he's the godfather. He's doing the double the double kisses

789
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 2: who's like the capo? If he's the godfather, who are

790
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 2: his capo's and his consiglieri? Who are his underlings that

791
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,359
Speaker 2: he's teaching the Italian way.

792
00:37:58,880 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

793
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 11: I mean, we have a bunch of young guys that

794
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 11: are that are really talented that Sam Antonacci has just

795
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 11: been a stone cold killer for us. Andrew Fisher has

796
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 11: been great. We have a ton of young guys and

797
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 11: I'm probably missing out on a handful of them. So

798
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 11: they've all been asking a lot of questions and trying

799
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 11: to learn as best they can. And they're extremely talented,

800
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 11: so they're trying to lean on the veteran guys like

801
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 11: Vinnie and myself and Attavino and some of the guys

802
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 11: that we have here, and so it's been a good mix.

803
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 5: I want to talk a little bit about Andrew Fisher.

804
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 5: Jersey Boy lives down the street actually from me. He's

805
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 5: like fifteen to twenty minutes. I've been talking to him

806
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 5: a lot. He's saying this is probably the best well,

807
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 5: it is the best experience for him because he's a

808
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 5: younger guy. He's a really good baseball player.

809
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 4: Talker.

810
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 5: Just talk about this experience and you know, not only

811
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 5: just being on the Italian team, but just they call

812
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 5: it an exhibition. This is an exhibition to me, this

813
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 5: is more baseball at h go go into how awesome

814
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 5: this has been and you know, you guys are exceeding

815
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 5: all expectations here.

816
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 4: Man, to be honest with you, so talk a little

817
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 4: bit about that.

818
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

819
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 11: Like I said, it's honestly the most fun I've had

820
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 11: playing this game in a long time. And it's their

821
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 11: playoff atmospheres. It feels like a playoff game. You know,

822
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 11: this doesn't feel like March. It feels like October. And

823
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 11: so it's awesome for especially young guys like Fish and

824
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 11: a handful of them to get this kind of experience

825
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 11: that they can lean on hopefully when you know, down

826
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 11: there further down in their careers, when when they're playing

827
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:38,720
Speaker 11: in October for the respective team. So yeah, the crowds

828
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 11: have been great, especially the last couple of nights, and

829
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 11: we expect to have a pretty big crowd again on

830
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 11: Saturday and then hopefully onto Miami.

831
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 6: All right, we're going to talk about you. What the heck, man,

832
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 6: why do you not have a job yet? Is our

833
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 6: guy Storm not doing enough work?

834
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: Now?

Speaker 4: He is? He is?

836
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 11: He's bugging me all the time. So I just h yeah,

837
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 11: I just want to enjoy the w BC, enjoy this

838
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 11: experience and kind of see what comes from it. And

839
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 11: sit down with my family and if there's an opportunity

840
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 11: that excites us, then then we'll go from there.

841
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 6: What does that what does that look like in a

842
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 6: sense of what is your off season look like because

843
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 6: of how your season ended last year and then going

844
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 6: into it knowing what you can still give. What kind

845
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,320

848
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 11: No, it's been spend some time with the family, which

849
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:37,959
Speaker 11: has been really good, and I have a young daughter,

850
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 11: so been fun to be be at home for that,

851
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 11: and then just kind of started training again like a

852
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,359
Speaker 11: regular off season and seeing what was kind of out there,

853
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 11: and when this opportunity arose, it was a no brainer

854
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 11: for me and super pumped. I did it And you know,

855
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 11: we'll make those other life decisions after after this is over.

856
00:40:57,960 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 2: John, John, does this help or hurt you? You think,

857
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 2: because I'm like, Eric, well, how do you not have

858
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: a big league job. You're a big league player, You're

859
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 2: going in the WBC, You're hitting homers off big league pitchers.

860
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 2: This isn't you know this isn't you're facing college guys.

861
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you're facing legitimate big league dudes in big games, right,

862
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,800
Speaker 2: I mean, this isn't. Again, there's thirty thousand people forty

863
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 2: there's five million people watching these games every night on Fox.

864
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 2: So do you think this helps your case for a

865
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 2: job next year or do you think teams look at

866
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 2: it and go, ah, it doesn't really matter?

867
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 3: Because to me this matters.

868
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to me, it matters.

869
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 11: And so I'm playing like it's, you know, the World Series,

870
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 11: you know, and we're taking it that seriously. And I

871
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 11: think as competitors that's all you can do. Anyways, I

872
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 11: kind of treat every game, whether it's a spring training

873
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 11: game or regular season playoff game, doesn't matter. It's you know,

874
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 11: you're trying to win. You're competing against the guys across

875
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 11: from you, and so I think it helps. But I'm

876
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 11: not too worried about that part of it. So they'll

877
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 11: see what they see, and you know, if if an

878
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 11: opportunity comes, then then great.

879
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 4: You kind of alluded to a Puerto Rico.

880
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,240
Speaker 5: I mean, have you guys talked a little bit about

881
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 5: the game plan or how is it in there? How

882
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 5: Survelli is he just hey, guys, go out and play,

883
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 5: or you guys have a little bit of a game plan.

884
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 5: Who's throwing How you guys kind of perceive this game,

885
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 5: and how do you feel going into playing it? You know,

886
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 5: a really good team Molina's team in Puerto Rico.

887
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, no, Servey does a great job with with

888
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 11: this group of keeping it loose. But at the same time,

889
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 11: we still have some meetings and stuff like that just

890
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 11: to be aware of certain things, you know, on the

891
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 11: advanced side of it, and having our hitters meeting and

892
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 11: stuff like that. So now we'll be we'll be as

893
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 11: prepared as we can be. We know Puerto Rico is

894
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 11: a great team when we just faced USA in Mexico,

895
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 11: so it'll be another really good test. And there's all

896
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,959
Speaker 11: really good teams left, so there's no no easy game

897
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,280
Speaker 11: here and we're excited about the challenge.

898
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 6: Jack hagleone, I would say Firmer Deny most power on

899
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 6: the team.

900
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I mean he just its balls really really hard.

901
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 6: Okay, so we'll tell Vinny that he has more power

902
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 6: than quote from John Birdie.

903
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 7: That's totally fine. I love that.

904
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 6: But what do you when you look at a guy

905
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 6: like that when you look at a guy like that

906
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 6: who's just coming into the big leagues, it took you

907
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 6: a long time to get to the big leagues. Does

908
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 6: it make you feel like the game of baseball because

909
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 6: you're playing on an international stage and you said how

910
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 6: much fun it is. The game of baseball can be

911
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 6: played by so many different people. And Jack Hagle own

912
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 6: looks like the prototypical chiseled out baseball player playing with

913
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 6: your blue hair John Birdie old age, all on the

914
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 6: same field and you both are having success.

915
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 1: That's the beauty of baseball.

916
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 11: You know, abilities come in all shapes and sizes, and

917
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 11: obviously it would be nice to be his size. It

918
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 11: would have maybe helped me get to the big leagues

919
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 11: a little quicker, but you know, I wouldn't trade my

920
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 11: journey for anything. And he's got a long, long career

921
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 11: ahead of him, and it's been fun to watch.

922
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 3: Crouch.

923
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,879
Speaker 2: John Krauts has a crush on CAGs. I'm just letting

924
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 2: you know, just so you know that I'll let him know.

925
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 2: That's all right.

926
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 6: We actually that's perfect because I'm the one that's supposed

927
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 6: to thank you to leave, and I'll be the one

928
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 6: to say that I said that, look at look at agent.

929
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 6: He can't even stop smiling, like he's like, he's blushing

930
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 6: right now. He is the biggest Florida Gator fan. He

931
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 6: never went to Florida. He is the biggest Jack Cagly

932
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 6: owned fan. When he was sitting next to him, so

933
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 6: think about this when you sit next to tags in

934
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 6: the dugout or a practice today, he was just looking

935
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 6: at him the whole time.

936
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: He's like, wow, Wow, just blushing.

937
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 7: He was blushing.

938
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 6: We were at Kansas City Camp. We almost got kicked out.

939
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 6: He now has a restraining order. He can't get within

940
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 6: fifty feet of CAGs.

941
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 3: Family friends, crouds. You should try, You should try having

942
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 3: family friends.

943
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,399
Speaker 6: Nervous, nervous. Now he's his family into it. He knows

944
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 6: his family follows him on Facebook, but AJ so that's

945
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 6: only has his Facebook. I appreciate you. We are as

946
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 6: much as we were cheering for you guys to win.

947
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:16,959
Speaker 6: As Americans, we definitely love to see you guys beat

948
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 6: Puerto Rico, continue to move on, and we're cheering for

949
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 6: you no matter what happens.

950
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 7: So thank you for coming on.

951
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, guys.

952
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 6: This is our favorite time right now to check out

953
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 6: how much money Todd is gonna make us when we

954
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 6: check out our money bags.

955
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 7: But he's not up there right now.

956
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:43,280
Speaker 6: That's okay, Scottie Braun's up ninety three, everyone else's even.

957
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 6: So it's positive early on in the season. This is

958
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 6: spring training for everybody. So we're gonna go over our

959
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 6: picks for tonight. We'll go first Todd, then AJ, and

960
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 6: then I'll bring us up with the coin flip of

961
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 6: whether I'm right or wrong.

962
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, So, I mean, for me, I alluded to this earlier.

963
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 5: I think team I said wins the game. Do I

964
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 5: think they win the game convincingly?

965
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 4: I don't.

966
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 5: I think they have a good time playing. I think

967
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 5: they win a close ball game. So I'm gonna go

968
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 5: Canada plus four and a half, you know, hoping that

969
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 5: USA comes through here. But Canada has one of their

970
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 5: better teams they've had in a long time. A lot

971
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 5: of guys are professionals, and we'll see what happens there.

972
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 4: Well.

973
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 2: As much as we're riotting for the USA, Todd, I

974
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 2: don't mind that, bet. I actually thought about going that

975
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 2: we're out because I think it will be closer than

976
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 2: the experts say with the minus four. Now, so I

977
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 2: actually love that bettab but I'm going a different route here.

978
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 2: I just think there's gonna be a lot of run

979
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 2: scored in this game on both sides. I know Logan Web,

980
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,799
Speaker 2: but I think one of the Nailer boys will get

981
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 2: a big hit. I'm just taking the over. I'm going

982
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: over nine and a half. That seems like a low

983
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 2: number for me. With the power on these two teams

984
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 2: and the pitching on these two teams, I just feel

985
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 2: like there's gonna be some run scored. And I think

986
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 2: Canada can score runs with the USA. That's why I

987
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 2: like Todd's bet. But I'm going over nine and a

988
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 2: half and that's minus one fifteen.

989
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 6: I mean, let's let's see if we can see if

990
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 6: we can parlay that jone or something. I mean, that's

991
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 6: some extra so I'll take care of that for the boys.

992
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 6: But I'm going the exact same. I'm going over nine

993
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 6: and a half minus one fifteen, so let's make.

994
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 7: Sure everybody gets a nice little victory.

995
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 4: I love that.

996
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,440

00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,560
