1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,040
Speaker 1: They bet on himself.

2
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 2: You know what, was it a one year, one million

3
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: dollar contract and all of a sudden he comes out

4
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: and tears it up.

5
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: Good moment for him and his family too as well.

6
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: This is awesome.

7
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 3: The season has started. Opening Day was incredible. Scottie Broad,

8
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 3: Todd Fraser, Danny Graves in Cincinnati, Aeric Kratz from Parts Unknown.

9
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: But that was fun. Yesterday.

10
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 3: I was my first Opening Day experience in Cincinnati. I

11
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 3: did some radio appearances this morning, and I was their

12
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 3: best promoter.

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: My Opening days have been to many of them. They're good.

14
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 3: This is holiday pomp and circumstance. Parade almost has an

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 3: All Star Game vibe to it.

16
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you know about All Star Games. I

17
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: know about all for sure. No, it was there was

18
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: definitely a beautiful thing. Again, one of the best places

19
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: to come for Opening Day. It's fantastic to bed the

20
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: ninth in it came. That was unfortunate, but again the

21
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: crowd was still bumping afterwards, and it's exciting times during

22
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: the Queen don't worry about one game and focus on.

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: The whole rest of the year.

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a special day Opening Day in Cincinnati

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 4: every year. I really feel like we've talked about it yesterday.

26
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 4: It should be a national holiday, but it certainly should

27
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 4: be a holiday here in Cincinnati for everybody. But yeah,

28
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: even after the tough loss, the crowd was still going nuts.

29
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 4: The streets were still packed, and I had to go

30
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 4: to bed early or try to go to bed early because.

31
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: I couldn't walk around. They understood that it is just

32
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: one game. Yeah, because not everybody does, which we'll get

33
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: into in just a moment. But also, this will be

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 3: our last show from Cincinnati, and there's our first show

35
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,480

47
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: underreactions from opening day krats, let's shout out the FT network.

48
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 3: We'll look at some of the fifteen total shows that

49
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 3: are under the FT Network. We don't need you to

50
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 3: name them all, but if you want to shout out

51
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: maybe one or two, Oh, this is nice, like this graphic.

52
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 5: Our guy Derek with Pinstrip Territory. Obviously, right down the

53
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 5: street we got Philly's show messed up that. I mean,

54
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 5: there might be there might be just anarchy on the

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 5: Mets up show right now. They're on to one. Juan

56
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 5: Soda was supposed to make them one sixty two, and

57
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 5: Oher and Austin Wells of Cheap Home Run and Yankee

58
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 5: Stadium mess up is so pissed.

59
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: You know who else is very ticked off? Hammer Territory.

60
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 3: Listen to about three quarters of the episode this morning.

61
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: They were freaking out. We'll get into that later, but

62
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: let's dive into overreactions and maybe under reactions. Let's charge toodfather.

63
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: What do you think was the least big deal from

64
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: yesterday that had some people worked up?

65
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it coincides with both of them here.

66
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the New York Mets they're gonna win games. Guys,

67
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: they're gonna score runs. Understand that the focus is over

68
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 2: a long haul. We know Jan Soda is gonna be

69
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: really good as well, so pump the brakes there. The

70
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: Mets are gonna be a pretty good team. The Astros

71
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: just brought it. Framburg Valdez had a really good game.

72
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: We didn't know which Frameburgh we're gonna get. And understand

73
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: they're gonna be really good. So relax, Queen City or Queens,

74
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: it's Queen. Excuse me, I'm great Queen Queen City. Relax

75
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: New York Mets fans and understand they will be good.

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: Focus on what you can control, and that's tomorrow's day,

77
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: meaning today, go get him today.

78
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: Okay, Danny, do you have an overreaction?

79
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 5: Yeah?

80
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: I do, so I know the we just talked about

81
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 4: the Reds bullpen kind of giving it up yesterday, and

82
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 4: the over reaction for me is people are saying it's

83
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 4: just game one of one sixty two. That is absolutely correct,

84
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 4: but that still doesn't fix the bullpen for the red

85
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 4: So that's why I think it's an overreaction. Everybody's like, oh,

86
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 4: they'll be okay, Well, the team will be Okay, but

87
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 4: that doesn't mean that they're going to win unless they

88
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 4: fix the bullpen somehow and whether they have somebody else

89
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 4: as a closer trade for a closer. I know it's

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 4: still early. Yeah, but he's also got some not just

91
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 4: physical issues. I think it's confidence issues when he's when

92
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 4: he's out there, and that's what's what's a big deal.

93
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 4: So when he comes back or whenever he comes back,

94
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: they got to do something in the meantime.

95
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, So Alexis Diez. Hopefully we'll be back in maybe

96
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 3: a week or two ish. I don't know the exact timeline.

97
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: But yesterday Hunter Green was a strikeout machine for Cincinnati

98
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: and their six to four loss to the Giants. Punched

99
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: out eight in his five innings. I mean he did

100
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 3: his job right. Yeah, them in a position to win.

101
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: Scott Barlow one scoreless inning, Millio Pagan one scoreless inning,

102
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: and all these guys I'm listening to at a couple

103
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: punch outs. Tony Centien also with two strikeouts in his

104
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: scoreless inning, and the problem was Ian Jibo, who ended

105
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: up being charged with four total earned runs, including the

106
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: three run home run to Wilmer Flores and then Sam

107
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: mule came in to clean things up.

108
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: Where was Rogers? Good question, that's a really good question.

109
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: They spent a lot of money on him this offseason

110
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: and he's at US career saves, right. Yeah, so yeah,

111
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: maybe there was something physically wrong.

112
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: With them, something that we might not know about. I mean,

113
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 2: or maybe Twoto was like, let me give let me

114
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: give this guy a chance, you know. Yeah, Yeah, he

115
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: got the first out in the ninth and they're like, ah, cruising.

116
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: And then what was it?

117
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 3: A walk started it?

118
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then a single to ride first and third,

119
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: another single and then the big one by Wilmer. Wilmer

120
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 2: Flores has been doing this for a long time. I've

121
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 2: seen it first hand. That's one guy you don't want

122
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: to see in the ninth inning for sure. He's probably

123
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: got seven or eight game winners.

124
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: Put him on base and see what you can do

125
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: after that.

126
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: I think I saw it was seven.

127
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably five of them, which was pretty cool.

128
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: But again, it is what it is. The Reds are

129
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 2: gonna be okay, the Giants are gonna be okay. But

130
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 2: that's a good start for San Francisco coming here to

131
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati and taking care of business.

132
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,240

133

Speaker 6: men deal with. From stress and nutrition to hormones to lifestyle.

134

Speaker 6: So many internal factors affect what you see on the outside. Luckily,

Speaker 3: Those two teams made a trade this offseason, and Taylor

152
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: Rogers is a pretty expensive reliever. He's making twelve million dollars.

153
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: The Giants picked up a little bit of the money,

154
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: but Cincinnati's taken on a good chunk of it. You

155
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: would think Kratz, that's the guy, right, How does he

156
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: not pitch on opening Day?

157
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 5: Not his lane? There's a lot of bullpen questions of

158
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 5: how teams use certain guys. That was kind of my overreaction.

159
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 5: But maybe it's not his lane. Maybe the Reds don't

160
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 5: view him as the guy that should have stepped in

161
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 5: when they were at that spot in the lineup. I

162
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 5: don't know. That's it's perplexing to me.

163
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: H Okay, let's keep running through over reactions. We're gonna

164
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: get help from fans on socials. So we did some

165
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 3: digging on social media and found fans losing their mind.

166
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: Let's start with the team that I think is going

167
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 3: to win it all, the Arizona Diamondbacks. I watched almost

168
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: that entire game. I was back and forth between that

169
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: and the A's and the Mariners. They fall to the

170
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: Cubs ten to six last night, and one fan said,

171
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: I'm officially.

172
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: Done with the Bats.

173
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 3: This is it must be from New York, right he

174
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: retired out there, done with the Diamondbacks after one game.

175
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: Crats, that's harsh.

176
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 5: That's fine. There's a lot of other teams that you

177
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 5: can cheer on. I mean, go be a Dodgers fan

178
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 5: if you're if you're done with what I think is

179
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 5: a top five team in all of baseball, not just

180
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 5: the National League. So hey, if you're done, go be

181
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 5: a Dodgers fan, or actually just go north, go north

182
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 5: up into the Rockies and be a Rockies fan. If

183
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 5: you're done with.

184
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: A right, if you want to really get kicked off,

185
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 3: then there's a team in your division. So anyway, next up,

186
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 3: this fan, Laker guy so out in La Area, says

187
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 3: Ron Washington.

188
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: Gotta go.

189
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: That was embarrassing in so many ways. One game into

190
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 3: the season. It is the second year for Ron Washington

191
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 3: running the Angels, and they did get embarrassed Podfather by Chicago.

192
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: The White Sox pick up an eight to one dub.

193
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: The Angels have a position player pitching in game one

194
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 3: of the season. That's never good.

195
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: I listen, the Angels make all these acquisitions off season.

196
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: You and I were talking. We're like, well, at least

197
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: they're doing something. And then they go out here. I

198
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: mean it's not a goosegg, but you know, pretty much

199
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: a gooseg out there, and you're like, what the heck

200
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 2: is going on here? We thought there would be just

201
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 2: an okay team and they come out and all of

202
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: a sudden, we're like one game. We know it's one game,

203
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: but giving up eight runs to the White Sox. Wow,

204
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: that's not a good sign to start the year.

205
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 4: Well, I think Laker guy should be worried about more

206
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 4: what the Lakers did last night. Oh, they're going against

207
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 4: the Bulls. I wonder what he said about them.

208
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's in trouble both ways. He was trying to

209
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: get double dip.

210
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 5: Why should run Washington go? Ron Washington scored zero runs

211
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 5: through the first twenty five outs of the game. They

212
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 5: were losing three to one. Kakuchi, he did fine, Ron Washington.

213
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 5: Ain't the hitting coach. Beat it hitting coach. If you're

214
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 5: firing people like, relax, they're gonna come out today and

215
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 5: win and beat the White Sock So you'll be fine.

216
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you think they'll recover and win this series?

217
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, we know where he's going to that.

218
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's not well.

219
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 3: There, there's an Orioles Blue Jays series going on. Let's

220
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: table that part of the discussion. Krats The biggest l

221
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 3: from yesterday the MLBA dot tv app and games outages.

222
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: Early on they were running the wrong intro for one

223
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: of the games. Then for me late night this didn't

224
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: get a lot of coverage. But I'm a diehard. I'm

225
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 3: on that thing every day just about right. I'm watching

226
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: games either on there or on one of the apps

227
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 3: that has games for whatever particular team I'm looking for.

228
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: And what happens every ten minutes, it just scrolls you

229
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 3: back to the beginning of the game automatically. Oh no,

230
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 3: like really, I gotta switch and go back to Live

231
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 3: every ten minutes. So perfectly put together meme here by

232
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 3: our fearless Twitter leader Michael.

233
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: Behind the scenes, they had how long to get this right?

234
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: I's only one open Yeah, that's true. You only have

235
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: one opening day, man, So if I'm a fan, I'm

236
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: frustrated and understandably you got to be able to fix

237
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: this and get after it here an opening day that's tough.

238
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: That's unacceptable.

239
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 4: Yes, that should have had some uh people tweeting about

240
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 4: that or exing about that.

241
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: There are tons.

242
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it took over for the first hour or so

243
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: of opening day. That was the problem. And they want

244
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: to run crats all of the teams. So we have

245
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 3: I think they have five. Maybe I'm like, let's hold

246
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: our horses here. You can't cut employees and then add teams.

247
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: Bad.

248
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 5: But they already got their yearly subscriptions so they don't care.

249
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: And they show a mini injury suck here during the break,

250
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: William Hendrix goes down for.

251
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 5: Right Fifteenji l It's okay. The guy is coming off

252
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 5: of quite a significant last three years of injuries off injuries,

253
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 5: Tommy John, It's okay. You want this guy full boat.

254
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 5: They got the bullpen loped down. If they score like

255
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 5: they did the other day, you don't need Liam right away.

256
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 5: But he's gonna be a good insurance policy when he

257
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 5: comes back fully healthy. And he knows when he's fully healthy.

258
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: Well.

259
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 3: Will Yard Brady was a one man wrecking machine for

260
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 3: Boston yesterday and that Texas wain. I don't know if

261
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: we'll get time for it, I mean, for the Red

262
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 3: Sox went over Texas. I think we will. Actually, we're

263
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: going to talk about it more. Actually in the next

264
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 3: break stee right, the Ump Show is back. The Marlins

265
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 3: walked off the Pirates yesterday. But wait, there was a

266
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 3: questionable call Bill Miller, Oh, Colin balls and strikes yesterday

267
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: and everyone was shaking their head and actually everyone was

268
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: trying to tap their head. But we were like, nope,

269
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 3: that's not until next year the abs challenge system.

270
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: So here it is one two oh oh bye. I'm fortunate.

271
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: Break for Dane Myers.

272
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: Can he make him pay lines?

273
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 5: Right?

274
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: Set feel the patent for Myers?

275
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: Here comes the low pez.

276
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: We're tied on opening day. There you go, Kratz, there's

277
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 3: your boy. That's a strike, and then you get an

278
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: extra life and you come through. Good for Dane Myers,

279
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: but bad call.

280
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 5: Bag call, I get it. You know Joey Joey Bart

281
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 5: caught it well. You know he moved the glove. Analytics

282
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 5: would say he moved the glove well, but if you

283
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 5: watch the video, he actually moves his whole body and

284
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 5: moves the glove. Well. To me, I think that's what

285
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 5: lost it for him, and he lost me two hundred

286
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 5: and seventy four bones on my lock?

287
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,479
Speaker 3: Are you saying anything to Bill Miller after that cratzy.

288
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 5: After he gets the hit. Yeah yeah, not after the pitch,

289
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 5: because dudes miss him after he get it's the hit.

290
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 5: Oh man, I am so pissed. I am so pissed.

291
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 5: There's there's one Brian Knight called a ball on Cody

292
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 5: Bellinger in eighteen, and Cody the next pitch hits a

293
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 5: grand slam. He Brian Knight called every single pitch a

294
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 5: strike the rest of the game. I think it was

295
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 5: maybe my best framing game of all time, but we

296
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 5: were already down by four runs by that time. I

297
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 5: was so pissed and he knew he missed the call.

298
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 5: That's the other hard part is you get pissed because

299
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 5: your team is now well, in their case, tied up

300
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 5: or in our case, we're losing by four and he

301
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 5: knows he missed it, and so you sit there and

302
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 5: you're like, he knows he missed it. Ah, Like what

303
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 5: am I supposed to say?

304
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: Let him know right away, dude.

305
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: Right we're in the pitcher, we're about to throw to

306
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: first because the enning's all with You're like, hey, where

307
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 2: you got that one?

308
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: Dude? That's strike three? You know, Miller.

309
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: Miller's a fisty guy back there. But at the end

310
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: of the day, Now, when the guy gets the hit,

311
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 2: you're like, thank you.

312
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: I would have to say something.

313
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 5: Oh, that's when you get it, That's when you let it.

314
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 5: That's when you let it eat. I'm letting it eat.

315
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 5: But I'm never I'm not turning around and yelling at him.

316
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 5: I'm letting it eat ahead of time. And Bill Miller

317
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 5: is not the most talkative during game off the field. Awesome,

318
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 5: super talkative on the field. No, nope, mess it yeah, nope.

319
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 5: It wasn't there borderline and you're like, I don't say

320
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 5: something more.

321
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 3: I don't want to overreact. But I think we all

322
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: know that Pittsburgh needs every win that it can get.

323
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 3: You have Paul Skins opening day, Sandi al Contra looked

324
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: really good too, right, It wasn't that. I mean, I

325
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: think they basically canceled each other out right, Yeah, five

326
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 3: and a third from Schemes to earn run seven punchouts

327
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 3: and four and two thirds from al Contra to earn

328
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: run seven strikeouts. But still Skien's day. No team that

329
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 3: didn't do anything as usual for the most part in

330
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 3: the off season. They do have a good starting staff

331
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 3: this is not good. And actually did I say it

332
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 3: to you, Danny yesterday? I was like worried about the bullpen.

333
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: I'm not going to put it all on one pitch.

334
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 3: But Holderman does blow the save. Bednar was not good

335
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: yes or last year. Yesterday gives up the walk off

336
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: hit to Sours. So here we go again. It's just

337
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: not the way you want to start things off for

338
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: a team that actually usually starts off hot.

339
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

340
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 4: Well, it's not good for the Pirates to lose the

341
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 4: Paul Skiing start, but especially not good for Derek Shelton

342
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 4: and his you know, job security. He's a guy that's

343
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 4: been around for a few years with the Pirates and

344
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 4: just kind of, you know, trying to get them through this.

345
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 4: But if they're not winning Paul Skien starts, you're in trouble.

346
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 3: If you're looking for premium clothes at an affordable price,

368
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 3: I think this is your five or six that he's

369
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 3: running the team. Isn't he on the hot seat just

370
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: as much as the manager?

371
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 5: I couldn't. I couldn't have. I mean, when you get

372
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 5: the when you get the Pirates job, you you you

373
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 5: pick some you pick somebody from a Latin country, from

374
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 5: Theminican Republicans saying, well, you know these guys, they don't

375
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 5: make it to the big leagues till you know, at

376
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 5: least six years, and you're just you're paving your road

377
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 5: for that five to six year plan. You know, oh,

378
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 5: five to six years out, we're gonna be good. Ben Cherrington,

379
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 5: you've been there a minute now. I think this is

380
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 5: actually his sixth or seventh year, if I'm not mistaken,

381
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 5: six or seventh season. But either way, didn't do enough.

382
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 5: I think last offseason he had a good offseason in

383
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 5: a pirate sense where he was going out and getting

384
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 5: little supmental pieces that could give them some depth. Hey,

385
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 5: you know what, it didn't work out. They lost ten

386
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 5: straight after the trade deadline or like leading up the

387
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 5: trade deadline, and they didn't trade. You know, they're raw

388
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 5: of this Chapman. We didn't agree with it, but hey,

389
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 5: you know he pushed in. Now you start doing that

390
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 5: kind of stuff, you got to you gotta push, you

391
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 5: gotta keep pushing, you gotta you can't just keep adding

392
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 5: the you know, the veteran pieces there that you got

393
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 5: to make something happen. Trade from some of your prospect

394
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 5: depth and make a player happen that comes in and

395
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 5: is a difference maker.

396
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 3: Hold on, they didn't do anything last year at the deadline,

397
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: they just did nothing. I mean they added what Brian

398
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: Dala cruise, I mean Isaiah Connor fileff Okay, okay, I'm

399
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: just making sure like they didn't sell, which was fine,

400
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 3: but were you going for it or you were just

401
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 3: cruising through the rest of the season.

402
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 5: He went up my set. What I meant was he

403
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 5: went on his path. He's like, we're gonna keep Eroaldis Chapman,

404
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 5: We're gonna add Connor Philip for next year. The Brian

405
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 5: Dayla cruise thing, I have no idea. I mean, they

406
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 5: def hate him, but there was no four shadowing for

407
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 5: planning there. It was just we just did it. To me,

408
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 5: that was their plan, and to me, if you're gonna

409
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 5: if you're gonna say, well, I got a five year plan.

410
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 5: That was a bold move in the Pirates landscape of

411
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 5: player development, because it's nothing compared to what to me,

412
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 5: I think they need to do. But it's also like

413
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 5: that was their bold move. So you put yourself in

414
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 5: the hot seat, which gms don't ever want to do.

415
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 5: GM's are always saying five years out. We always got

416
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 5: these guys in low. Ah. This class is unbelievable. Baba

417
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 5: Chandler he's gonna be so awesome. He is. But you

418
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 5: need this team to start playing together now because Paul

419
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 5: Skeene's clock, just like Marissa Tomay said, my biological clock

420
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 5: is ticking.

421
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 3: Well, they used to call it a five year plan.

422
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 3: Maybe it's an eight year plan over there. All right,

423
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 3: let's go to Seattle. So that was a fun game.

424
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 3: I got to check most of that one out. It

425
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 3: was the Tyler schudershrom show for a little bit too.

426
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 3: He had a couple of home runs in this one. Y. Yeah,

427
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 3: it was looking like a classic Mariners game for a while.

428
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: Logan Gilbert was great. Looks like a Cy Young contender.

429
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 3: Some of us picked him for Cy Young this year.

430
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: It's one nothing late. They did score late. They also

431
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,959
Speaker 3: had a really tough play where, uh, there was a

432
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 3: bunch attempt from I think it was Roblaze.

433
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: Did you see this play?

434
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: And then Ryan Bliss was chugging home he scores because

435
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 3: some people thought there was contact with the bat, there wasn't,

436
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 3: so it was just missed by Sodershum here comes Bliss

437
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 3: scores tying run with who he popped up? You never

438
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 3: touched the home plate.

439
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 2: You see this too often now you teach us at

440
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 2: the little league level. When you slide that front foot,

441
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: it's got to come down. But sometimes when you slide, boom,

442
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: the heel hits and it pops up. That was the

443
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: easy one there, I mean there was. This is why

444
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 2: baseball is the best board in the world. I tell

445
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: people this all the time. Game of interes and you

446
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: don't know how to slide? Did they do that in

447
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 2: spring training? We do it all the time. Get that

448
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: front foot down.

449
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

450
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 4: Pitchers used to practice sliding too when they were allowed

451
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 4: to hit. They also made us put our hands way

452
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 4: up like this, and I never see a guy sliding

453
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 4: like this, So yeah, you.

454
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: See people sliding in there.

455
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 4: It's popping up all the time, and that's when usually

456
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 4: the middle infielders keep their their glove on the guy

457
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 4: it bumps up.

458
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 3: One atch, you're out dragon throw. Well, they ended up

459
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 3: getting laid offense, so they did winn. Randy Rose Arena

460
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 3: had a home run and a really epic batspike. There's

461
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 3: Julio Rodriguez entering the ballpark with Old U. He was

462
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 3: using his Adidas clets as a phone, which hey, I

463
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: mean it worked out for him. He was styling the

464
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 3: cleats were awesome by the way too. But this is

465
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 3: a big year for him. He's been off the slow

466
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 3: starts in the past. His teammates picked up the pace

467
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 3: yesterday late. Like I mentioned, it was Randy and Kratz.

468
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 3: It was also Jorge Polanco, who they did retain right

469
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 3: he was a free agent this year.

470
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: They kept him.

471
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: Three for three, get a big two run home run

472
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: to center field for the dub.

473
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 5: Guess the balls flying. I guess the balls flying and

474
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 5: they and they straightened out the batter's eye. It was

475
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 5: the same. But Luk who got the game winning run?

476
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 5: Or was it the game winning run because it wasn't

477
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 5: a walkof JP Crawford was all over this game. JP

478
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 5: Crawford was making plays. He was to me when he's healthy.

479
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 5: Obviously you have the captain behind a dish. Obviously you

480
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 5: have the every year Julio should be a rookie, I mean,

481
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 5: a MVP candidate. JP Crawford anchoring shortstop me. He's got

482
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 5: that energy. You see him after the game, everybody's kind

483
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 5: of crowding around him. He just got that. He's he's

484
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 5: just he's just got it. He's he's him, He's him

485
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 5: for that team. I think.

486
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: More than Julio.

487
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 5: I think because of the energy that he brings. I

488
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 5: think Julio is the best player. I think he has

489
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 5: the highest ceiling. I think Cal is the steadiest rock

490
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 5: on that team. I think your shortstop you look at,

491
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 5: you look at really good teams. Shortstops have that, teams

492
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 5: that have that alpha male, and obviously this pitching staff

493
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 5: is the alpha male on the tired in the entire league.

494
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 5: But Jp, to me, just brings something and he's matured

495
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 5: ever since they gave him that contract. I think it

496
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 5: was five years sixty or something. It almost felt like

497
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 5: he looked like he was he was like, Okay, I'm here,

498
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 5: this is my place. Let's go boys, And he's missed

499
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 5: some time, and I feel like the team kind of

500
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 5: suffers when he's not in there, obviously, as any team

501
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 5: would when you don't have a big lead shortstop playing

502
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 5: your position. Not saying Dylan Moore is not a big

503
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 5: lead shortstop. He's not JP Crawford, and I think he's

504
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 5: a guy that kind of gets an engine going.

505
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, five years fifty one was that extension a few

506
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 3: years ago? I think it was opening day of twenty

507
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 3: twenty two, so that play that Crawford made end the

508
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 3: game last night too. Was was ridiculous.

509
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 4: To sprint on that little chopper and to be able

510
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 4: to get Lawrence Butler before he got by him and

511
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 4: still complete the double play.

512
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 3: That's huge, and I mean not many guys can do.

513
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: That at.

514
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're built on what they've got up the middle.

515
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: So good for the Mariners they start. Want to know,

516
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 3: I'm gonna read this quote from Dan Shaughnessy and the

517
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 3: Boston Globe. In a refreshing burst of innocence, Alex Cora,

518
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 3: Red Sox manager revealed that when he told Christian Campbell

519
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,919
Speaker 3: he was making the big league club, Campbell asked his manager, quote,

520
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 3: Who's going to be my roommate?

521
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 5: Wow?

522
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: Really funny? That is funny. Where's the veteran guys that

523
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: letting him know?

524
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 5: I think is coming up?

525
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: What's that?

526
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 5: I think he was trolling them? Roommate? Y'all talk about

527
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 5: that all the time. Kreak Campbell, he was a stun

528
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 5: in the minor leagues. He probably didn't even live with

529
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 5: anybody in the minor leagues. No, he ain't got no roommate.

530
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 5: But it is an idea because I know a lot

531
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 5: of guys really like roommates, and so they would get

532
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 5: joining rooms and they'd open the center door and just

533
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 5: yell at each other as long as the other dude

534
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 5: doesn't like me. I couldn't be a roommate with somebody

535
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 5: in the big leagues. I snored too much.

536
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 4: Well, I did have a roommate in the big leagues

537
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 4: when I first got called up, because you had to

538
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 4: and I had to do. Well was thankfully it was

539
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 4: only for a couple of months. But Brian Giles was

540
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 4: my roommate. Oh that's a big boy roommate, right, talented roommate.

541
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 4: I got to watch him shave his body every day.

542
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: Now you're going to clean this up?

543
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 3: Wait, so what happened? Did they get rid of it

544
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: soon after that?

545
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:29,640
Speaker 5: Yeah?

546
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 4: I think it was the next year Player Association put

547
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 4: it in that we couldn't have roommates.

548
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 5: Okay, hmmm, we always talk what about why do they

549
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 5: have the CBA? Oh, thank you Danny Graves for the

550
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 5: CBA getting changed that we don't have to have a

551
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 5: roommate and grown men don't we need to share a

552
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 5: room in the ritz?

553
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: Yes?

554
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 4: Right, and especially back then there was no cell phone,

555
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 4: so we had to share the one phone.

556
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 3: Wow, right, I got the hotel phone to make the

557
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 3: phone call to fam.

558
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, who gets to pay for the long distance call

559
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 4: at the end of the road trip.

560
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're a dinosaur. You're a dinosaur.

561
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 3: Danny ninety eight years old. Yeah, that was something for me.

562
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 3: Said first. Better than box Scores of the year, Tiger's

563
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 3: Dodgers was awesome, really good, feeally good. They obviously were

564
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 3: doing all the big stuff beforehand to celebrate the.

565
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: Title with the home crowd.

566
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 3: Then the game was back and forth star power. It

567
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 3: was fun and also a flashback from last playoffs because

568
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 3: you had Tommy Tanks Tommy Edmond with a homer. Suddenly

569
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: he's a home run hitter with the Dodgers. It's crazy.

570
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 3: The oscar and ed has had a huge homer late.

571
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 3: Of course, sho Hey had the massive home run that

572
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: made it what five to three in the bottom of

573
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 3: the seventh, so technically that was the one that put

574
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 3: him over the top. You had Scooble against Snell making

575
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 3: his debut with the Dodgers. That had it all man.

576
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 3: That was really fun.

577
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: And the Tigers probably should have won that game. They

578
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: were I think at one point they were one for

579
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: thirteen with the runners in scoring position. It could have

580
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: been a lot worse too, as well. Snell got his

581
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: way out of a couple of gams. Uh Tokosen made

582
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: a bad base running mistake at third base when the

583
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: ball got nubbed right in front of home plate, was

584
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 2: gonna go to first, Snell told him to go to third.

585
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 2: Gotten a quick rundown out. Just a couple of mistakes

586
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: by the Tigers. If they they limit half of that,

587
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 2: they might have won that game.

588
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 4: Danny, Yeah, it was almost like no chance to win though,

589
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 4: when ice Cube shows up before the game and he's

590
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 4: hanging out with the lineup bringing the World Series trophy.

591
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 4: You really have no chance when ice Cube shows up.

592
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: But it wasn't.

593
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 3: It was a great game.

594
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 4: I think the Dodgers had a great game plan against

595
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 4: Scooball Scooble broke some bats, broke Show Hayes bat before

596
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 4: the homer, but he only struck.

597
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 3: Out two batters.

598
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 4: They they know that Scoobale is in the strike zone,

599
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 4: so they were attacking pitches early in the strike zone.

600
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 4: So it was a great game plan game.

601
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 5: I thought was gonna be a lot of punchies. This

602
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 5: homer by Show Hey, like, this is a homer, that

603
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 5: righty's that righty's hit like it looked like like the

604
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 5: ball just was rocket to go to the opposite field. I

605
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 5: love that homer, and I love Torkelsen's homer. Torkleson getting

606
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 5: walked three times, this dude was ticketed for triple A

607
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 5: was all the talk. There's no spot. He comes out

608
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 5: and gets an opportunity versus a lefty hits a dinger

609
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 5: on a pitch way in off by Vessia that he

610
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 5: kept fair and three walks. To me, that's a you

611
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 5: can't have much of a better first day in the

612
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 5: big leagues when they were talking about possibly optioning you

613
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 5: to triple A before the season, but I couldn't believe

614
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 5: there wasn't more strikeouts. If you tell me to pick

615
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 5: the over in the game, it's gonna be Snell and

616
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 5: Derek Skubele to have over. Whatever the strikeouts were gonna

617
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 5: be in I think they each have two because those

618
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 5: dudes are gonna be double digit k all year long.

619
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 3: I think if you're a Tigers fan, you should be like, Okay,

620
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 3: this could be a really good year. You lost by

621
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 3: a run to the best team in baseball. They're missing

622
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 3: some outfielders right now, including Parker Meadows. He had actually

623
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: a guy like Manny Margo who's just picked up with

624
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 3: a nice game. But here's the biggest thing for Tigers fans,

625
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 3: because this is unexpected if it happens. Spencer Torkelsen was

626
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 3: on fire yesterday and he was seeing the zone great.

627
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: He's got a new swing that was showed off yesterday

628
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: to three walks in the game yesterday plus a homer

629
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 3: and a good one four walk. Sorry I shorted him

630
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 3: one walk, four walks yesterday plus a homer. Former first

631
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 3: overall pick. At this point you're looking at him and

632
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: saying bust. But he's still young, and he was humbled,

633
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: especially this offseason by the moves that they made to

634
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 3: pick up Labor Torres, move Cole Keith over to first.

635
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 3: He's trying out anything he can do. He's like, I'll

636
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 3: play obviously first. H outfield time now for him too,

637
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 3: And all of a sudden, if he looks like I

638
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 3: want to say, a star, But if he looks like

639
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 3: a different player and even a shell of what we

640
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 3: thought he was going to be, it completely changes the

641
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 3: dynamic of the lineup for me.

642
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: I get it. One game.

643
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,959
Speaker 3: I'm sounding like I'm overreacting, but he looked different.

644
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 4: He certainly looked different, especially the last at bad against

645
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 4: Blake Trinon and Tryon's got that filthy sweeper and Torklesen

646
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 4: spit on those pitches and ends up getting a walk

647
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 4: to extend the inning. But just he looked completely last year.

648
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 4: That would ate him up, and kudos for him.

649
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 2: It's hard to change when you're already established as a

650
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: major league hitter. But going through struggles and saying, you

651
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 2: know what, let me change my approach, let me change

652
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: my path, it looked pretty darn good. He looked so smooth,

653
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: nice and slow. His lower half was so slow to

654
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: the ball, and he let his hands work. It was

655
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 2: nice to watch.

656
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: Did you see on the broadcast they showed the line, Yeah,

657
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 3: of his perfectly Yeah, yeah, well I don't know body struck.

658
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you didn't see that grounds the money, I

659
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: didn't see it.

660
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 3: No, they were showing the difference and and how they

661
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: felt like he was off mechanically.

662
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: More center of the hitter.

663
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 5: Like he was leaned over, or he was more upright

664
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 5: or something.

665
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 4: Well, on the actual home run at the point of contact,

666
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 4: how his body wasn't like off centered where one part

667
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 4: is going too much forward. His head's not centered over

668
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: his body.

669
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: It was like a standing behind the ball.

670
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, perfectly straight line.

671
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 5: Scott, you love ops plus after that game by Torkilsen.

672
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 5: What do you think his ops plus plu was after

673
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 5: one game?

674
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: I would say three fifty.

675
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 5: One and ninety three was his is his ops plus

676
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 5: now he's.

677
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: Leading stop the rest of the season.

678
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 3: Just walk outdoped the mic.

679
00:33:58,360 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 5: So there you go. If you ever wondered what op

680
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 5: yes plus really means, there it is.

681
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 3: It means they love you, they love them some walks

682
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 3: and Homer and nothing else out at all. Yeah, I

683
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 3: wait on that staff for about a month. But still

684
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 3: I was a big performance. But I like that though.

685
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 3: I'm glad you look that up for me. All right,

686
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 3: let's get to the White Sox again. I know we

687
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 3: touched on them for a moment, but I really want

688
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 3: to show the Will Venable celebration that we had too.

689
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 3: So the Angels got beat up by the White Sox

690
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 3: and Venable gets his first win as manager. Some people online,

691
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 3: of course, are like, oh, this is too much. I'm like, no,

692
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,479
Speaker 3: it's not. I mean, you guys know when a dude

693
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 3: gets his first hit or any big moment right a picture,

694
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 3: gets what his first win or something like that. You

695
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 3: throw a part, you throw baby powder, catch up. Yeah,

696
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 3: it's a little party. It's like, hey, you made it

697
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 3: and you're doing things. So they've done this for managers before.

698
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 3: The White Socks are just going to catch the brunt

699
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 3: of jokes because of what they experienced last year.

700
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: And obviously it's.

701
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 3: Not going to be a good team.

702
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 1: They're not going to be a playoff team.

703
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 3: But when you went on opening day and Will Vena,

704
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 3: Will gets his first crack as manager and gets it up,

705
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 3: yeah you party.

706
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: You should one hundred. Listen.

707
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 2: You're a first time manager. You've been, you've played, you're

708
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 2: a third base coach, you're a first base coach, and now,

709
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you get your first win when

710
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 2: everybody's expecting this team to just.

711
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: Tank the whole year and not be that good.

712
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,479
Speaker 2: You celebrate as much as you can, and you stay

713
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 2: in that locker room as long as you can too,

714
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 2: and then you give your wife or whoever your significant

715
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 2: others are hugs and kisses. But you get the the scorecard,

716
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 2: you get everything, and you make a nice little mantle

717
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: out of it.

718
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 4: I mean they were supposed to lose one hundred and

719
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 4: sixty two, so he's already beat that, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

720
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 5: Then when we watched this last night at home at supper,

721
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 5: I think it was at supper that my kids watch it,

722
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 5: and my boys go, what did they do for your

723
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 5: first hit? Because they were like, well, that's weird. Do

724
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 5: they always do that? Like, oh, yeah, you take them,

725
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 5: you take them in the shower, you dump mayonnaise, mustard, gatorade,

726
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 5: baby powder, shampoo, anything you can dump on them. So

727
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 5: it's a fun celebration. And my buddy, my sons go,

728
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 5: what did they do for your first big league hit?

729
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 5: And I was like, we weren't a very good team.

730
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 5: And I specifically remember it's a long walk from the

731
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 5: dugout all the way up to the clubhouse in Pittsburgh.

732
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 5: There was guys. As I was coming into the locker

733
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 5: room showering to already showered and leaving. There was no celebration.

734
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 5: There's and my son's like, oh that is so sad, Dad,

735
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 5: maybe we should have a celebration for you now. I

736
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 5: was like, no, thank you, but do you have the ball?

737
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 5: I do, and normally like some teams they do, like

738
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 5: a ball and a bat, like in like a nice

739
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 5: case hold boomed, Scottie Bonet wrote, wrote on my ball

740
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 5: for me, and so I still have it.

741
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 3: But you didn't get the fancy souped up gift for it.

742
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 5: No, I gotta I got the lineup card as Diaz

743
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 5: gave me his lineup card, and I think the bench

744
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 5: coach gave me. Yeah, Gary Varshow gave me his lineup card.

745
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 5: They stacked him on my on my care so that

746
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 5: could take them home. Like some teams they put together

747
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 5: like the whole, like plaque and like three D case

748
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 5: and all that stuff that plays a continuous loop of

749
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 5: your first hit.

750
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 3: Ever, No, well we have we have some video evidence

751
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 3: of Venable partying here it is.

752
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 6: Hey, thank you guys, a lot more to come, way

753
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 6: to go, dude, thank you man.

754
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: That's cool. That's awesome.

755
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 3: Good things young and good to get out of that bat.

756
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, ketchup mustard mayonnaise, not hot sauce.

757
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: That was that was coin. That was coin.

758
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 3: That's nice little league vibes, but in a good way.

759
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

760
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 5: They all still they all still want playing times. So

761
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 5: nobody's dumping mayonnaise on the amazed on how young the

762
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 5: White Socks are. They might be doing this every night.

763
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 5: They might be just running through stuff. You know, any

764
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 5: young team, the Marlins, they're just pushing guys in the

765
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 5: shower all the time.

766
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 3: All right, lastly, let's get to the Braves falling to

767
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 3: the Padres.

768
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: So Atlanta looked good.

769
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 3: Early Braves fans, including our Hammer Territory hosts, were very

770
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 3: critical of the bullpen usage by Brian Snicker, which included

771
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 3: Hector Nary's in a big spot. They didn't like how

772
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 3: Dave spell Hernandez wasn't used, and they talked about it

773
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 3: in the off season as a reason why they didn't

774
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 3: go after another big gun reliever. They're like, well, then

775
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 3: why are you using him in the big Scott Coleman

776
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 3: of Hammer Territory tweeted Snicker's gonna use Naries over a

777
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 3: day spell or Bummer in a one run game after

778
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 3: the team had six months off, It's just awesome. So

779
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 3: later says, Hey, this guy who was available in March

780
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 3: on a minor league deal and got one strikeout in

781
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,439
Speaker 3: three spring training appearances, Let's make him our seventh inning

782
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 3: setup men. On the very first day of the season.

783
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 3: So they fall seven to four on opening day. They

784
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 3: also went zero for seven with runners in scoring position.

785
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 3: They left ten on days right, they scored four. They

786
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 3: didn't score ten. But there was, you know, a very

787
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 3: large critical base of fans about how they use their bullpen. Yesterday,

788
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 3: Kratz is shaking his head. I think Snicker said after

789
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,320
Speaker 3: the game something along the lines of, hey, it's seven

790
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 3: games in a row, Padres and Dodgers. They're gonna have

791
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 3: to spread it out. Can't use all the big guns

792
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: at once. The Hammer hosts said, that's cool, but let's

793
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 3: win game one. If you're there and you're winning, and

794
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: even later in the game then they're losing. They bring

795
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 3: in Grant Holmes, who's gonna start, I guess in a

796
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,439
Speaker 3: few days. So what are you puzzled about.

797
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 5: I'm puzzled about, Like Hector Narius isn't good just because

798
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 5: you picked him up part way through March, Like you

799
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 5: picked him up to be a piece of your bullpen.

800
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 5: You needed a dude to come in. That was his lane.

801
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 5: I know, I've said it twice now. That was his

802
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 5: lane in the lineup, And like, don't like one strikeout

803
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 5: in three spring training innings. I was just compiling some

804
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 5: stats here. Matt Olsen hit one eighty four in spring training,

805
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,719
Speaker 5: Austin Riley hit two sixty one. So are we are

806
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 5: we benching those guys? Are we moving them down in

807
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 5: the lineup? Stop? You didn't have six months to prepare

808
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 5: for this game. You came out, you put the best

809
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 5: players out there. Brian Sinecker is taking this team to

810
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 5: a World Series. This was gonna be my over over reaction. Oh,

811
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 5: we don't have defined roles. Look around baseball, nobody has

812
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 5: to find roles. The Dodgers three and zero, they don't

813
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 5: know who's gonna close because everybody can. Hector Narius is

814
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,879
Speaker 5: gonna be a big part of this bullpen. I mean

815
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 5: they have Pierce Johnson, they have you know, they have

816
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 5: Aaron Bummer, they have they have so many pieces. They

817
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 5: have Rice Iglesias, they have they have a lot down there.

818
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 5: It's okay, They're gonna be fine. Going to Hector Narius

819
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 5: was not a bad call. It didn't work out.

820
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 3: Hector Naris has over six hundred career games pitching the

821
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 3: big leagues with a three to three something e er.

822
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 4: The dude has been successful in those roles. I don't

823
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 4: see a problem bringing him in.

824
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, the seventh, it was the seventh, Dinny. But I'm

825
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 2: gonna go on the other side. I know you guys

826
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 2: are with He's got two pitches, okay, yeah, fastball and

827
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 2: that's what right, right, Eric, If I'm mistaken, split Chames

828
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: and fastball, he's been good. But I mean, for me

829
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 2: from recently, I don't know if you put him in

830
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 2: that situation, he's he's not a guy that has anything else.

831
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 2: You sit on one pitch and hopefully you get it. So again,

832
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 2: I do hear where the rights guys are coming from.

833
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say it's that big of a deal.

834
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: But at the same time, he's got to find a

835
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 2: mix and match one to put him in.

836
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: He's not that guy anymore. In my opinion, I.

837
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 5: Disagree he's in that bullpen to get you big outs.

838
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 5: He got hurt. To me, if you want a second,

839
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 5: get something, he got hurt on a heater up in

840
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 5: the zone. Like Hector Narrys doesn't throw heaters for strikes.

841
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 5: He doesn't throw splitters for strikes. And yet he has

842
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 5: what did you say, Danny? Six hundred appearances with a below.

843
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,359
Speaker 3: A three three era it's three yep, yep.

844
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 5: He's had two pitches since he came out the womb.

845
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 5: He's he doesn't he doesn't throw any more pitches. He's

846
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 5: just a straight top to bottom guy, and he gets

847
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 5: those swings and misses. He left a fastball flat in

848
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,879
Speaker 5: the zone up and he never his fastball. Even when

849
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 5: he was like ninety seven to ninety eight, his fastball

850
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 5: wouldn't get by guys. It was just the fear of

851
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:04,240
Speaker 5: that because that splitters almost like fork sometimes it almot

852
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 5: is like a forkball where it just drops off the

853
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 5: table and it's tough to it's tough to keep in

854
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 5: his own but dude just keeps swinging and he keeps pitching.

855
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 3: Also, the Braves knocked out Michael King pretty early and

856
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 3: make it through the third inning. The Braves are gonna

857
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 3: be fine, Okay. And I said this. I was on

858
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 3: a radio station this morning talking about the Braves. They're

859
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 3: about to face more Padres and then Dodgers to start

860
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 3: the season, and it's seven games in a row. Don't

861
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 3: be surprised if they return home two and five and

862
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 3: don't care.

863
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.

864
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 3: They're going to be good. They just happen to be

865
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 3: going through a gauntlet right away to start the year.

866
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 3: Dodgers are totally feeling themselves and they're healthy. Usually there's

867
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 3: problems as the year goes on for them. Padre is

868
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 3: the same thing. They're a little bit thinner this year.

869
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 3: But Jackson Merrill four RBIs he looks like he's going

870
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 3: to be a stud again, just like he was last year.

871
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 3: Tatist was a big story too. He stole two bags.

872
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 3: He didn't steal two bags in one game all of

873
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 3: last year. And he's fast and he spoke postgame and

874
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 3: it sounds like krats. You better check out a little

875
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 3: over under on the stolen basis for Fernando Tatis, because

876
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 3: apparently he went from one leg to two.

877
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:17,000
Speaker 1: Be the quote.

878
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 5: That's the first time I saw it. When I saw

879
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 5: the quote today, I was like, I didn't know about

880
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 5: I didn't about that, and I forget who it was.

881
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 5: Was it profar was profar On talking about how like

882
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 5: Acunya Tatus Soto like he put Tatis, whoever it was

883
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 5: I was talking about it put Tatis in a category.

884
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 5: I was like, I don't know, like I don't know

885
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 5: if he's in that category, but if he was, literally

886
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 5: did what he did last year on one leg, Like

887
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 5: if he was if he was grinding through something, there's

888
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 5: another gear. There's another gear for that dude, Because maybe

889
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 5: he could be the electric player that we saw when

890
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 5: he first came up. He had that, he had that

891
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 5: little break that he took for a little bit of

892
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 5: a good good And yeah, maybe he's mature. Maybe he's

893
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 5: got his body healthy now. And two bags two bags

894
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:17,879
Speaker 5: in one game and zero multi stolen based games all

895
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 5: of last year. So that's a telling sign.

896
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 3: Here, it is he goes. I mean last year I

897
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 3: was standing on one leg. You can really see how

898
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 3: healthy I am right now. It's a huge part of

899
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 3: my game, one of my favorite parts of the game.

900
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 3: I really missed it. They're gonna let him run loose

901
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 3: a little bit, That's what I was saying about the Padres.

902
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 1: I mean, look at this lineup.

903
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 3: If you think Tatis is Tatis, I mean that's an

904
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 3: MVP candidate.

905
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 1: He went three for four, scored a couple times yesterday.

906
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 3: Obviously, I'm a big fan of Luisa Rise and the

907
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 3: kind of difference that he makes in a lineup because

908
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 3: he's such a contact king. Of course, he didn't strike

909
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 3: out yesterday, I didn't do anything, but he had an

910
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 3: RBI machado. If he's feeling better, because remember last year,

911
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 3: especially in the first half of the year, he was

912
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 3: still coming back from big surgery. Bogarts should at least

913
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,439
Speaker 3: still be an average bat, if not a little bit better.

914
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: I know, you know, they expect more from him.

915
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 3: Now you're already down to Jackson Merrill, who I mean

916
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 3: could be an MVP candidate.

917
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: He's that good. I'm just saying this lineup is pretty good.

918
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,400
Speaker 3: Obviously, she said the big home run late and he

919
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 3: moves away from the White Sox. So the Padres were

920
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 3: went away from taking down the Dodgers and probably winning

921
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 3: the World Series. They lost the guys, but not everybody.

922
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it's true, it's true.

923
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: It is.

924
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 3: I just I feel like they got kicked this offseason

925
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 3: by some people in their lists. They're like, oh, you know,

926
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 3: they're looking at our predictions yesterday even or just our

927
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,439
Speaker 3: power rankings, like I had him in my top ten

928
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 3: power ranks, and people I got watched baseball like I

929
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 3: watched baseball and I saw them almost beat the best

930
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 3: team in baseball last year.

931
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I have them making the playoffs too. Do

932
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,240
Speaker 2: I think the Dodgers will win the division, of course,

933
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 2: but yes, they have a squad man and they play

934
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 2: and now Tatis is healthy. I mean, look out, King

935
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 2: didn't have his best outing yesterday. He's still going to

936
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 2: be a really good pitcher and they're ready to rock Man.

937
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 2: So watch out for them to make a move. Beating

938
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 2: a good Braves team. That's a really good start. They

939
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 2: got a couple more to go.

940
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 3: You also had Profar returning to San Diego and that

941
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 3: was cool. That was a big deal for him. Kratz

942
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 3: to not only put the season together that he did

943
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 3: last year and completely change generations of family with the

944
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 3: money that he made with that contract. Right, he was

945
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 3: coming off of one year, one million dollar deal there

946
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 3: it is. I mean, he was one step away from

947
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,520
Speaker 3: being out of the game, and now look at him.

948
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 3: A big signing for the Braves. He wanted to return

949
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 3: to the Padres, they were not going to be able

950
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 3: to offer him that much based on budgeting, and he

951
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 3: gets a really, really nice ovation. If he's on your team,

952
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 3: he is really fun to root for.

953
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 5: It yeah, one hundred percent, and he was he was

954
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,439
Speaker 5: their team last year. To come out and do that's

955
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 5: that's where I have the Padres out of the top ten.

956
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 5: Where are they going to get enough depth from their

957
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 5: starting pitching and how are they going to be able

958
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 5: to make up for what he provided? Is somebody gonna

959
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 5: step up? Is is Jackson Merrill going to have the

960
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 5: same season plus what Profar did? And to me, you know,

961
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 5: he was in the middle of some scrums like that

962
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 5: play where they you know, he got I think it

963
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 5: was the Nats got pissed off because they walked the guy.

964
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 5: They walked somebody in front of him and then he

965
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 5: got the walk off hit. That's the kind of stuff

966
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 5: that brings teams together. Who's going to make make up

967
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 5: for the production on the field that he left? But

968
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 5: also that energy?

969
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,479
Speaker 1: Yep, and you think about this guy too as well.

970
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 2: Like before last year, you know he was he was

971
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 2: a good player, but he wasn't he bet on himself.

972
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: You know what was it?

973
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 2: A one year, one million dollar contract and all of

974
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 2: a sudden he comes out and tears it up. Good

975
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 2: for him, good moment for him and his family too

976
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 2: as well. This is awesome And to see the crowd

977
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 2: cheer for him like that. He had an impact not

978
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 2: only with the team, but with the city as well.

979
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, good player, really really good on bass. Guy very good.

980
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 5: And he raised his average ex of velocity, his average

981
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 5: ex of velocity by five mile per hour.

982
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: Wow, which is insane.

983
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 5: Which is insane at that point in your career. I

984
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 5: don't know how you.

985
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 3: Do that, That is true.

986
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: Probably went down a weight size and bat.

987
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 5: Is that what it was? He went higher, he went

988
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 5: a longer and heavier bat, and so he just started hitting.

989
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: Longer and longer and shorter, longer.

990
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 5: Shorter, darker, and lighter bat. Yes, two tones, flame tempered bats.

991
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 5: And he was taking he was taking a bone and

992
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 5: boning down the bat, That's what it.

993
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 1: Was, and not the knob was not there anymore. And

994
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: do that with your hands.

995
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 5: Don't do that with that.

996
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 3: All right, let's slap. We're gonna go over matchups for tonight.

997
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,800
Speaker 3: But first, I actually really want to know what is

998
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 3: Crafts wearing today?

999
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: What do you guess?

1000
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 5: Take a guess before I spin it around?

1001
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: Pirates?

1002
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 3: I think that would be too easy. Yeah, what about

1003
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 3: Rwards where it's.

1004
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 4: Got the yellow and I'm going I'm going Padres yellow

1005
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 4: and brown.

1006
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: Maybe Arizona can't be the pirates. Oh, I think you're right, nice,

1007
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:19,720
Speaker 1: very nice.

1008
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 5: So it is so clean. If I had some yellow Jordan's,

1009
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:26,400
Speaker 5: I would rock these Jones with this hat. It's a

1010
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 5: clean hat.

1011
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 1: Let's tell you what four crats is on that picture.

1012
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 1: That's that's scary. Yeah, that's a lot of crats.

1013
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 5: There's a minimal hair.

1014
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 3: All right, let's go over matchups. Anything stand out for

1015
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 3: this evening. So I think for the Rangers, I mentioned

1016
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 3: how Tanner Hawk's pitching on the red Sox side, we

1017
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 3: get Jack Lighter cracking the open rotation as well.

1018
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: Pick it up.

1019
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it hasn't been a smooth ride to this path.

1020
00:50:57,239 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 3: At one point, he was, if not the best past

1021
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 3: whatever pitcher in college baseball. Road's like, oh, this guy's

1022
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,160
Speaker 3: gonna be fast to the bigs. It's taking some time.

1023
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 1: So we'll see.

1024
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,240
Speaker 3: If you know, he did things in the off season

1025
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 3: in spring training that'll lead to more success here he needs.

1026
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:14,760
Speaker 2: This is a big year for him, big year, Cratzy, Sorry,

1027
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 2: this is let's see what he's touted to be. He's

1028
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,479
Speaker 2: a very good ballplayer. Let's see what the adjustments he made.

1029
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,879
Speaker 2: I know Big Al's gonna probably be there supporting them.

1030
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 2: Go out there and just be who you are, find

1031
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 2: his own throw strikes. You're not going to overpower these guys.

1032
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 2: You gotta find a way to manipulate the zone on

1033
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,759
Speaker 2: them and focus on what you can control and let

1034
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 2: your catcher call a really good game.

1035
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 5: If we can get an explanation of why the Rays

1036
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:45,960
Speaker 5: and Rockies didn't play on opening Day, today's their opening day. Yay.

1037
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 4: Someone must have been going on at George Steinbrenner Field,

1038
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 4: but they.

1039
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 5: Had a birthday party. They couldn't have the game because

1040
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 5: they didn't think anybody was gonna be playing there because

1041
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 5: it's a mighty league park.

1042
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 1: True, it is very true.

1043
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 3: We're gonna see the first game of the year here

1044
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 3: at a minor league park. Ryan Pepio pitching for the

1045
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 3: Rays against Kyle Freeland. Weird, weird, but packed. It'll be

1046
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 3: sold out. They're gonna do really well on attendance. Their

1047
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,840
Speaker 3: percentage of ballpark filled is going to be maybe highest

1048
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 3: in baseball because they've been waiting to go to games

1049
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 3: and not sit through an extra hour of traffic across

1050
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 3: the causeway. It's true, yeah, very true. So easy to

1051
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,439
Speaker 3: get to that place. It's a game changer for me too.

1052
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 3: AJ and me. We did not get to a race

1053
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 3: game last year because we always would look the show ends,

1054
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 3: we want to get there a little early, and we're like,

1055
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 3: by the time we leave, we're not gonna get there

1056
00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 3: until after first pitch. So this year it's gonna happen. Especially,

1057
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:44,240
Speaker 3: they're gonna be some history.

1058
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 5: But the fans are gonna be sweating like milky compared

1059
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:50,799
Speaker 5: to drum Test. Like it's gonna be so hot that's

1060
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:52,959
Speaker 5: being driven, like it's gonna suck.

1061
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 3: Gratz is on fire today. It's right, you're right, not

1062
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 3: yet though it's actually gorgeous right now. It's like a

1063
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 3: good eighty in July. Get back to me and we'll

1064
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 3: go over things, all right. A couple others that stand

1065
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: out before we go. Jeffrey Springs is making his A's

1066
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 3: debut in that matchup against the Mariners, and then the

1067
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 3: night clarity against Yamamoto Tigers Dodgers Round two.

1068
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: Sign me up.

1069
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's really good.

1070
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:19,799
Speaker 1: All right.

1071
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,560
Speaker 3: So we had an awesome few days here, bittersweet, but

1072
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 3: we'll be back. We'll be back Innatti for some warmer

1073
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 3: weather too. So this was awesome, great few days. Thank

1074

1078

1079
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 3: It is the best opening day in baseball confirmed. I

1080
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:49,919
Speaker 3: know you guys already knew that, but this was really fun.

1081
