And we were about to get 175 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: that band together and you know, have him, you know 176 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 3: in that seven hole, which, man, that's a dangerous dude 177 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 3: in that spot. But he's gonna be out. It's gonna 178 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 3: be out for a while. You know, how deep we 179 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 3: go determines how likely he is to get back. 180 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: Does it hurt? 181 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 6: Yes? 182 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 3: You know, the one sound we have in our clubhouse 183 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 3: is you know, winters find solutions and you know we're 184 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 3: gonna be their support, promote and and and be there 185 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 3: for him to help him get back. 186 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: But no one's gonna feel sorry for us. 187 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: And you know, we got a deep team and we'll 188 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: ride what we got and we'll feel good about. 189 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: It, krats. 190 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: At some point we're gonna laugh about how healthcare was 191 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: so reactive and not proactive, and we're starting to change 192 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: that with Superpower.

It's probably unlikely. 220 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 5: So you're kind of locked into the five, which means 221 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 5: you're going to go to Chicago.

We 278 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 3: haven't announced our Game one starter, but I don't think 279 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 3: we need to, you know, do too much detective work 280 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 3: on that one, and then it's just a matter of 281 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 3: you know, making sure we're in the right spot for 282 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 3: games two, thinking about a game three if necessary. 283 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: You know, there's three. 284 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 3: We got multiple starters that to pitch well for us, 285 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 3: So there's gonna be some discussions there. And the good 286 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 3: news about our club is two things will happen when 287 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 3: those discussions take place. One, guys will, rightfully, you know, 288 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 3: potentially be disappointed and frustrated because they want to compete, 289 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 3: which I love that they care that much and and 290 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 3: what the moments. And then two, they'll go and do 291 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: what the role they need to do for the team, 292 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 3: because it's a very team first oriented group. So you know, 293 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 3: we'll we'll. 294 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 2: Have them ready and go compete and get after it 295 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: and take our shot. 296 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 4: With the bullpen that you have. 297 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 7: Talking about your rotation, how much are you as a 298 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 7: staff saying, no, we're not scripting this, We're gonna watch 299 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 7: the game because Nick Pavetta has been giving you guys 300 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 7: ridiculous innings and has gone out there and been dominant. 301 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 7: But you have monsters in the pen, and you have 302 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 7: monsters lined up to just mow dudes down. Are you saying, 303 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 7: all right, fourth inning, he gets one runner on in 304 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 7: a one run game or one runner on three run game, 305 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 7: We're going right to our boys because you have you 306 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 7: have weapons that you can go right too. How much 307 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 7: are you scripting it and how much are you watching 308 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 7: the actual game at hand, and how they're seeing your pitchers, 309 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 7: your starting rotation. 310 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, great question. Not scripted, absolutely. 311 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 6: You know, I don't feel and believe. 312 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 3: In that the script the aware and this really is 313 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 3: where the best matchups are at certain points in the game, 314 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 3: not only for the game at that moment, because as 315 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 3: we all know, you know, there are just moments in 316 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 3: the game that you can feel that that are you 317 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 3: know this, this is a big. 318 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 2: Part of the game. 319 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 3: This can sway the game one way or the other 320 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: and be ready for what those possibilities are and then 321 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 3: make the decision for who's the best to to take 322 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 3: care of that situation at that moment. So it's a 323 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 3: it's a balancing act, you know, there's one of which 324 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 3: that I'm gonna look and see what's in front of 325 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 3: us and see what we have. If if, as your example, 326 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 3: Nick's commanded the baseball throwing, well, the matchups are still good. 327 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 3: It's at a point in the game where it makes sense. Yes, 328 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 3: he's gonna ride, you know that. That's that For me, 329 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 3: it's more common sense. You know, there's no clear science 330 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 3: to this. You take your best understanding of the situation 331 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 3: and the big picture of the game relative to where 332 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 3: it is, what ending, that is what you know you 333 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 3: have relative to the rest of the game. And then 334 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 3: you also clearly have an awareness that, yeah, we have 335 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 3: a back in the bullpen. It's very talented, and you know, 336 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 3: in a shorter series the bullpen can come into play, 337 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 3: more guys can grab you know, we do have a 338 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 3: three potentially three games in a row scenario. But you know, 339 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 3: you're you're scratching and calling to get too man and 340 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 3: you take down that first, and you take it down 341 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 3: and you know, you know the guys that have a 342 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 3: chance to get extended a little bit more than they're 343 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 3: used to, and you just you weigh it out so 344 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 3: you really see the game in. 345 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 2: Front of you. 346 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 3: You know where the inflection points are for the matchups, 347 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 3: and then when you hit those spots, you read what 348 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 3: the situation is, you make your decision and go from there. 349 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 5: All right, so it's gonna be Paveta, we know, and 350 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 5: then the one we know that, okay, But then then 351 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 5: you have your choice of you Darvius who is three 352 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 5: and two of the two three six against the Cubs. 353 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 5: Dylan Sees is four and two of the two four 354 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 5: seven against the Cubs, and he used to be a Cup. 355 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 5: So he hates the Cubs like we all do. So 356 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 5: we know that he wants to pitch against the Cubs. 357 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 5: But then you have Michael King, so I mean you 358 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 5: have some options. Would you think about bumping one of 359 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 5: those guys, especially in the short series, to the bullpen 360 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 5: and saying, hey, you're my length guy if we need it. 361 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 2: I think that'll be on the table. 362 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 3: You know, we haven't thought os anything, but just the 363 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 3: math tells you it's on the table with two games 364 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 3: and three guys that we trust. And you mentioned that 365 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 3: that the pet success there pitching there, you know, obviously 366 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 3: Darbish just you know, pitched years there. So yeah, oh 367 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 3: that's on the table. 368 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 5: Okay, Yeah, Darvish also hates the Cups because he played there, 369 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 5: so we know anyone that played in Chicago that you know, 370 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 5: they all everyone hates the Cups, including you. 371 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 4: Don't die. 372 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 5: Don't deny because you're a cardinal guy at Hart, so 373 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 5: you can deny it, but we know it's right, Okay, exactly, 374 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 5: it's okay, I. 375 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 4: Admit all the time. Right before I let you go. 376 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 5: He got ejected last night, only the second time this year, 377 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 5: So I'm proud of you. It's only your second one 378 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 5: this year. But what is the average fine for a manager? 379 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 5: Is it like five hundred bucks to fifty one thousand? 380 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 5: And is that why your your apartment that you're in 381 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 5: is one it doesn't look like it's on the beach. 382 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 5: And too, it doesn't look like it has any furniture 383 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 5: in it.
