1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: So savior drama for someone else that cares. But don't

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: call me out when I'm right. Okay, you want to

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: call me out when I'm wrong, I'm fine with it. I'll

4
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: do with it, but don't call me out when I'm right.

5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 2: What a day. We're doing new things in the FT Network.

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: So two things. One last night we had the Kratz

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 2: not invited Yankees Diamondbacks game that we ran on playback

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: and it was great. We did an all cast cam

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: abn was on, Derek Lewandowski also Jesse Friedman. Will do

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: more of those one a week. But Kratz, I promise

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: invite coming soon and AJ you'll like this. I believe

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: this was our first ever owner interview under the FT Network.

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: Thirty minutes ago. John Middleton was live i'd Citizens Bank

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: Park on the Philly Show. We'll show some clips from

15
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 2: it later on, but we speak pretty highly of him

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: as someone who represents the game and the ownership voice

17
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: really well. They should have him do like all of

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: the press. I listened to the full thing. Not only

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: is he just really good, well spoken and passionate about ball,

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: he knows ball. That's the difference too. When you hear

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: him talk about baseball, talk about players, talk about scouting reports,

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: talk about pitching, repertoire, et cetera. He knows baseball. So

23
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: it really helps for anyone like me, a super fan,

24
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 2: to connect when I hear someone like this who is

25
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: talking about how this is everything for him, screw the money,

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: this is his legacy, and then really going over intricacies

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: of his team, minor league prospects, going over how Roy

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: Halliday changed his whole arsenal. He's like going pitch by pitch,

29
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: just really really insightful from him. So I recommend everyone

30
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,919
Speaker 2: give that one a listen. It's up on their YouTube channels,

31
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: so check it out later.

32
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what you want owners to be, right. You

33
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: want owners to be involved. Do you want to owners to

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: spend money? And you want owners that care. And I

35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: think the ones that you see that do that usually

36
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: do the best. I mean, the Dodgers ownership group is involved.

37
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: They let Andrew Freeman and those guys run the team

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: the way they want to. You look at you know,

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: use Jim Crane for example, he's involved. The Astros have

40
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: been successful. The Steine Runners for years were involved, right

41
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: Henry John Henry and his Fenway Sports group finally got

42
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: back involved, and now there's no chance to be good

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: again because they finally decided, Hey, we're gonna try again

44
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna spend some money. So it's the owners

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: that are disconnected, and we know who they are. We

46
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: don't have to call him out, you know, in West

47
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: Sacramento or in Pennsylvania, the other Pennsylvania team. But you know,

48
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: it is what it is. The owners that care, They try,

49
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: They do their best to put the best team on

50
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: the field, or used the teams that have the most success.

51
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been critical of Henry over the past few years,

52
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: rightfully so. But he actually knows ball too. He looks

53
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: at it in a different way from the interviews I

54
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: have heard. He doesn't do as many anymore, but he's

55
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: more of an analytics guy. Middleton is more of a

56
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: balanced analytics plus scouting I watch the game, you know,

57
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: without any numbers in front of me kind of guy

58
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: sometimes too, which I guess you get with the flavor

59
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: of the front office with someone like David. Anyway, let's

60
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: get into the lit division in baseball right now. Let's

61
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: charge charge about holy in l West, not just the Dodgers,

62
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 2: not just the Padres the Giants too, but let's start

63
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers because it was show Hey Bobblehead night,

64
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: AJ There's people lined up for hours and I'm not

65
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: out there, but I saw this on multiple spots, including

66
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: ft Twitter, which is the best on the planet. Everyone

67
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: got a bobble So why are.

68
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: They getting out? They get well because, you know, normally,

69
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they've read the fine print. Normally it's

70
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: only ten thousands, the first ten thousand, so maybe they

71
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: wanted to be the first to get it on eBay,

72
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, but they gave one to the whole stadium.

73
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: They had how many god bless you, how many over

74
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: people Dodger Stadium hold, which is like almost sixty thousand

75
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: or whatever it is, right, so everybody got one. I think,

76
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, Joe Davis got one, Oral Hersheiser got one,

77
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: Sandy Kofax going Magic Johnson got one. Everybody going right.

78
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: So I love this look. I don't know what teams

79
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: do this, but this is crazy. These people didn't read

80
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: the fine print, man read the fine print, or they

81
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: knew show he was going to hit a walk off

82
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: and they just wanted to be on foul territory. Twitter.

83
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: Oh man, I mean bobbleheads. I just I don't get

84
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: the craze for bibbleheads. I don't get why you'd stand

85
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: in line for everybody getting one. But it was just

86
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't you can't write it any different

87
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: on a bibblehead night. It's not his first bobblehead. It's

88
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 3: not his first walk off. Like the guy's just a

89
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 3: doesn't look like show hit at all, by the way,

90
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: but that does look like a softball bat. So I

91
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: wonder if he's going to be maybe he's gonna be

92
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 3: the next torpedo bat guy.

93
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: Huh maybe no, somebody, No, you know what those are called?

94
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: You know what those were called back in the day,

95
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: those were called what bottle bats? Weren't they called bottle bats?

96
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: Because when I played little league, Bronson Royal used to

97
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: use when I'd be like, you cheater, right, because Ronson

98
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: Royo played little league. We played in the same little league,

99
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: and he used to use a bottle. I thought it

100
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: was called a bottle bat, and it was like the

101
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: whole thing was had until the handle. And I thought

102
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: they were mostly you in softball, right, spotball? Yeah? Yeah, yeah?

103
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: And Bronson and Royal used to use one of those

104
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: when we were like twelve years old with each other,

105
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you cheater, But I mean I guess

106
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't cheating because nobody knew the difference.

107
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: Do you know what changed yesterday's game more than anything,

108
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: Max Munsey ditching his torpedo bat. He had it hit

109
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: several abs and then he's like, screw it, I don't

110
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 2: like it. And he hits it. Yeah, he hits a

111
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: gap or double, two strikes, two outs, and ties up

112
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: the game. Of course, it was a dream night for

113
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: Dodger fans. I mean, fifty two thousand plus they all

114
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: get the bobble. Otani hits the walk off. They're talking

115
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 2: about it leading up to it. Dodgers are eight and

116
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 2: oh and that passes the nineteen thirty three Yankees for

117
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 2: most consecutive wins after a World Series title to start

118
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: the next season. There's that change up heading across the

119
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: plate from mycel Iglesias. For example, if you look at

120
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: that pitch and where it landed, right, it's a change up.

121
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: It's a little bit up. It's you know, it's not

122
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: over the middle of the plate, but it's coming across

123
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: the plate. Correct me, If I'm wrong here, right, I'm

124
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: trying to learn. That's a bad pitch, right, Aja.

125
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: That's a bad pitch, Yeah, Nole's.

126
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 2: I know it's all late, but it's it's coming across

127
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: the plate and change up supposed to be a little lower.

128
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: No, it's a good. That's a good Pitchy doumb balls

129
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: knee high off the plate away. I mean, I don't

130
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: know what else you want, Rossy the old guys he

131
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: used to do craps. Tell me that's a good That's

132
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: a not a bad pitch at all. It's a pretty

133
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: good pitch. It's just a guy who is stronger than

134
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: most human beings and can go out there and hit

135
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: a ball to left center that carries out at nighttime

136
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium. And you know what else, Sometimes stuff

137
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: ain't going right. It just the ball goes over the

138
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: fence when it's not supposed to have a five to

139
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: nothing lead, and you don't win the game, you know,

140
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: with everything lined up. So sometimes it's just it's just

141
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: not your season.

142
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 3: Maybe if we're splitting hairs, maybe he wanted it lower.

143
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: I get that, but like you can't just you can't

144
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: just I guess you can pitch around him. But you also,

145
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 3: there's no cheap home runs at Chavez Ravine at night.

146
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 3: There's no way you should be able to as a

147
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: lefty who that ball's going away from him. He's able

148
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: to take that ball out to center. Maybe if he

149
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: really dives on that ball and show hey, never dives

150
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: to the pitch away, he could take it down the

151
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: left field line.

152
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: But where he hit that.

153
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: That's a joke, like that ball should could it be

154
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 3: a little lower, Yes, we're splitting hairs. It was an

155
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: unbelievable swing.

156
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sliding show, hey, just asking for a

157
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: little analysis on, you know, what they should have done

158
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: and how they could have pitched him differently, because he

159
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: still looks like last year's show. Hey, that's the way four.

160
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: Fingers I mean, I mean, listen, that was a good pitch.

161
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: Listen the hit he wins. Sometimes the hitter wins. Man,

162
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: these guys are good. We used to always say that,

163
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: like you'd strike out and you'd be like, man, I

164
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,559
Speaker 1: don't know, But then you realize these guys are getting

165
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: paid a lot of money to strike you out, too,

166
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: so they make good pitches sometimes and sometimes pictures would

167
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: come off the Mountain and crawts. I think would have

168
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: tested this too. They'd make their pitch and a guy

169
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: would get a hit, break his bat, throw it over

170
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: the outfielder or whatever, and the pitcher would be like that,

171
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't have a bad pitch. You're like, no, but that

172
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: guy's pretty good too. He can hit and he gets

173
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: paid to hit the ball, So sometimes these guys are

174
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: just good.

175
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: Yep, ft, fam, I hope you have as much confidence

176
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,360

194
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: magical start to the season for the Dodgers. They're going

195
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: to go through some adversity at some point, I think,

196
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: but they've trailed in six of the eight games. They've

197
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: got a lot of late offense. They all right, No,

198
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: here's a tweet from Blake Harris, who covers the team.

199
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: Despite being eight No, it feels like the Dodgers haven't

200
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: even been close to playing their best ball yet. Trailed

201
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: in six of eight starters yet to pitch into the sixth.

202
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: And by the way, Snell gave up five. They were

203
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: all unearned, but he gave up five. Mookie missed three games,

204
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: Freddy has missed five games. He goes, just wait until

205
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: they start clicking. Also, they were trailing five nothing yesterday

206
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: aj which reminded some fans of last year's epic World

207
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: Series comeback when they were trailing by five to the Yankees.

208
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: Bencus farius I think had the moment of the game,

209
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: top of the sixth bases loaded, no outs, gets them

210
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: out of the jam. He was hyped. We're covering Dodgers

211
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: in the NL West here because we're gonna talk Braves

212
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 2: later on. We'll get Grant McCauley on to go over

213
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 2: how they came up empty here. But I mean, whoo,

214
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: that is a really fun way to go to a ballpark.

215
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: You get a freebie, you get the best player on

216
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: the planet with the walk off, and you get the

217
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: five nothing comeback.

218
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: Yes, what a game. Listen, what a game? I mean,

219
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: what an incredible When it was five to three, they

220
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: had the bases loaded, the Braves didn't no out. You're like, oh,

221
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: this game they're gonna win and the Dodgers are gonna lose.

222
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: And then the Spirius gets out of it. And then

223
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 1: show Hey comes up and Mouncey hits the big double

224
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: in the eighth off. How important excuse me, Kratz? How

225
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: important was It didn't quite sneeze, but it was close.

226
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: But how important was this game to the Braves? It

227
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: was I Glaciers was in in the eighth to phase.

228
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: Monsie he was in and there to shut it down

229
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: for Brian Stickers, they can get that one on their

230
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: win column, right, A win ah win. Instead, he gave

231
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: with the double Demonsie. Then he gave up the home

232
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: run to show Hey. But as soon as the Dodgers

233
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: tied that game, it was like, Okay, the Dodgers are

234
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: going to win this game. And then obviously show Hay

235
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: hits the walk off.

236
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: Yep. Exactly. One of our Hammer Territory hosts was like, oh,

237
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: if you think the first six losses were bad, and

238
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: this was when they were still winning, they were up

239
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: five to three, and he goes, if you think the

240
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 2: first six losses were bad, can I interest you in

241
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: a five nothing comeback loss? Blah blah blah. So anyway,

242
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 2: let's move to the Padres. I want to get to

243
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: the rest of the division. Here for the next few minutes.

244
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: Padres are undefeated too, and they took down the Cleveland Guardians. Krats.

245
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: They're looking really, really good. Jackson Merril signs the extension.

246
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: We talked about it yesterday. He homered right after the extension,

247
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: makes himself a little richer. He was cool in his

248
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: press conference too. He's like, yeah, I mean, you know

249
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: your value. You know you could do even more. But

250
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 2: it's like I want to be in San Diego. I

251
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: wanted to get this done now. Also, I mean, it's

252
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 2: got a chance to make two hundred plus million dollars.

253
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: I mean two hundred versus three fifty whatever when you're

254
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 2: that young in your career. I think the point is

255
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: he fits in perfectly there. They love him, and this

256
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: team can crank it on offense. They didn't lose much

257
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: on offense. I mean, I know they lost some pitching.

258
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 2: Hasan Kim two years ago was a pretty good offensive player.

259
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: He didn't really do much for them last year. Then

260
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: he got hurt. So their offense looks really good and

261
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 2: you still got guys in their prime. Tatis should be

262
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: in his prime. Jackson Merril already looks like in his

263
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: prime unless he's going to get even better than this.

264
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 2: But our rise obviously gives you the contact. What do

265
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: you think about the Padres high flying, high speed offense,

266
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 2: like Tatis stealing home here.

267
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: That's one thing they're running. They're running the basis. They're

268
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: running the basis like they're like they're youthful. And if

269
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 3: Tatis can run like this, he creates havoc in that

270
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 3: in that spot in the lineup. They did lose some offense.

271
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 3: I mean they lost Profars. Profar's bat last year was

272
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: it was kind of big. And they've easily easily supplemented that.

273
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 3: They've easily supplemented that, and they are flying high. I

274
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 3: Mean one of the things we talked about was starting

275
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: pitching after after a cease, and King didn't really have

276
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 3: great outings their first outings. They just came back and

277
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 3: they're just like, oh yeah, I'll just kind of jump

278
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 3: in line.

279
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: And we'll give that.

280
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: We'll give the bullpen a little bit of time off, like,

281
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 3: and the bullpen's been really carrying them.

282
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: This is a winning team.

283
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 3: Sometimes you watch teams, you watch them after like something

284
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 3: cool happens in the game.

285
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: And they're like whatever.

286
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 3: Not these guys, not the Dodgers, like you can tell

287
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 3: the they just they're out there. They have a goal

288
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 3: in mind and they have confidence. If Jackson Merrill had

289
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 3: just waited one more day, he could have been like, Hey,

290
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: I just had another dinger. You gotta give me another

291
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 3: million dollars, Like every day I hit a dinger, it's

292
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,479
Speaker 3: more millions.

293
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: Listen, Manny mcnugat's whatever the guys name is in the

294
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: chat that is the super Padres fans to say we

295
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: hate the Padres, and he called me out when I

296
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: said that the Padres are stealing more bases than they

297
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: did last year. Look at the numbers their meat, because

298
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: the numbers are ridiculous. How much more aggressive they're being

299
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: on the bases than they were last year. So savior

300
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: drama for someone else that cares. But don't call me

301
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: out when I'm right. Okay, you want to call me

302
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: out when I'm wrong, I'm fine with it. I'll deal

303
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: with it, but don't call me out when I'm right. Okay.

304
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: They're being ultra aggressive. They don't think they have the

305
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: power that they had last year. But what they're doing

306
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: pitching wise is what's been carrying the Padres. Look at

307
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: what they've done pitching wise. And I know the Braves

308
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: offensive suck, but still their bullpen and their starters have

309
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: been really good. And then the Guardians who offense is

310
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: what it is. But still to be seven to zero

311
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: with the way they've started. They're still in touch with

312
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. They're going to be in touch with the

313
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: Dodgers all year. I don't know if they can keep

314
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: it up. They need Darvish back and they need their

315
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: bullpen to stay healthy. But it's a fun start for

316
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: one of the best atmospheres in baseball. Had a friend

317
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: go to the Padres game for the first time on

318
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: Monday and they were like, this is the coolest atmosphere ever.

319
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, it's an amazing atmosphere. What

320
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: the Padres fans have done to Petco in the way

321
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: it is around the park, So way to go. Padres fans.

322
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: Keep it up, and I hope this team keeps it

323
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: up because I want to see somebody competitive with the

324
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: Dodgers like everyone else.

325
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 3: Hey, j hates the Padres. I can confirm atim. Thank you,

326
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: miss McNugget or whatever your name was.

327
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: Grimis all right. So the West is twenty five and seven.

328
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: Let's also give love to the other non Rockies teams

329
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: that care. The Diamondbacks will talk more about later because

330
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: Gallon deserves a few minutes on his own. But the

331
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: Giants just swept the Astros. Good for them. I mean,

332
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: the Giants are five and one to start the year.

333
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: It's the best start for them since twenty fourteen. Alex Pavlovich,

334
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: who writes about the Giants for NBC said best start

335
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: for them in over a decade. But also this division

336
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: has two teams that are undefeated above them. There you go,

337
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 2: and that was at the time when they when they swept. Now,

338
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: obviously the Dodgers picked up one more wins, so they're

339
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: eight No, Padres are seven to no. Giants are five

340
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: and one. Either of you buying the Giants as a

341
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 2: legit playoff team or do you think they're just off

342
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 2: to a nice, cute little start. I've got the Diamondbacks

343
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: ahead of the Giants for sure.

344
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: Ajau No, I think there's a nice start. It's good

345
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: for Buster Posey in his new regime.

346
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 4: I want.

347
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: I want to see former players succeed in their new roles,

348
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: but I don't think over the long term they can

349
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: they can keep this up because of the division they're in,

350
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: and also because I'm just not sold on their team.

351
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 3: They're pitching in defense. Can they play defense? Can they

352
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 3: pitch the entire season? So they're build on they have

353
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 3: some they have an elite arm at the top of

354
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: their rotation.

355
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: Is that going to hold up?

356
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: Because if you get any if you have to fill

357
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 3: in for one of those elite defensive pieces with someone

358
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 3: who's not elite all of a sudden, it's like it's

359
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: kind of the chink in the armor. It's kind of

360
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,199
Speaker 3: that like underbelly off. Are they gonna hit enough? But

361
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: they're gonna pick it. They stay healthy, they're gonna pick it,

362
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 3: and they're gonna hang around and that because that plays

363
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 3: in San Francisco and they're doing this on the road

364
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: in Houston. Like it, it plays, it plays. I don't

365
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 3: think they're gonna They're gonna fall a little short of

366
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 3: the playoffs.

367
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: Though. By the way, we're talking about the nl Wes.

368
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: Why are we not talking about the Al Central? The

369
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: White Sox are in first place. I don't know what

370
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: you guys are looking at, you guys looking to the

371
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 1: nl Wes. How about the Al Central White Sox are

372
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: in first place at two and four with every other

373
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: team in the division? Is everyone?

374
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

375
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly?

376
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: Old division is two and four?

377
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 2: Tell everyone we gotta go.

378
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: What do you mean White Sox first place? Playoffs?

379
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: Playoff loss yesterday. We'll get to it. Let's talk about Skeens.

380
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: Skeens was good first pitcher since earned runs became an

381
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 2: official stat to post a sub to e R one

382
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five plus case in your first twenty

383
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: five big league appearances. Also Dennis Santana looking like maybe

384
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: the new closer for the Pirates instead of Bednar. What

385
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: are you confused about, Krafts?

386
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: The game is easy.

387
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 3: You always you always look for like a dude who's like, ah, man,

388
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 3: like he's gonna have a clunker, He's gonna right now.

389
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: And him and Zach Wheeler are two of the hottest

390
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 3: pitchers on the planet, and they both pitched yesterday. It's like,

391
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 3: you just don't see a clunker from Paul Skeens. Nobody's

392
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: given him that clunker. The last one I remember was

393
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: that the second time I think the Cubs got to

394
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 3: face him, wasn't even really a clunker.

395
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: They just got hits. He has been dominant, true, true,

396
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: And I'm mad. I wanted to go to this game

397
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 1: yesterday because it was it was actually goable too for me,

398
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: doable for me because it was in Tampa, but it

399
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: was on at one o'clock, so I couldn't go and

400
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: it was too hot. And by the way, he has

401
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 1: a better era now if in his big league career,

402
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: by the way, than he did in his college For

403
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: just saying.

404
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: So, yeah, so the SEC is just different and they

405
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 2: are better.

406
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: He hit a two point hit a two point one

407
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 1: eight career college e RA as a one point nine

408
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: to two career big league Just that is freaking impressive.

409
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 2: I mean, he has not had any adversity yet.

410
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: It is crazy just saying he's had a better e

411
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: RA in the big leagues. Maybe they used torpedo bats

412
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 1: in l s U when he was you know, an

413
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: air force in the SEC. I don't know, but I would.

414
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: I wanted to go yesterday to go to see him

415
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: pitch live in Tampa, but you know, this show called

416
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: feul Territory got in the way, so I couldn't go.

417
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: Are you gonna do it live one time?

418
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

419
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: You're gonna take it from a.

420
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 2: Minor league game in Tampa? Are we gonna do a

421
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 2: show from Tampa? It's kind of closer for us. Should

422
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 2: we doing from the ballpark?

423
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: Did you just say a minor league game? Is? I mean,

424
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: it's like the uh, what's his name, Bob Fisher?

425
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: What's at a minor league park?

426
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: Ball Fisher? John Fisher said, you know, look at the atmosphere.

427
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: The Cubs in the in the West Sacramento as they're

428
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: playing in front of fourteen thousand people, they shouldn't be

429
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: playing in front of fifty thousand people.

430
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 2: Exactly. That's why I ran for a moment. Media has

431
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: changed a lot in sports. I don't know every other

432
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 2: sport as much as I do baseball, of course, in

433
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: terms of how they deal with the media, but some

434
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 2: teams treat it like they're in the way. Some teams

435
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: are great, they are genuinely great. They provide info, they

436
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 2: treat people like people. But in some cases it's like, oh,

437
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 2: media is here there in the way. But then when

438
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: they need something promoted, you're getting flooded with press releases.

439
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 2: Oh you should come on or have so and so

440
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 2: on to talk about this. So it's just weird the

441
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: way that handles is handled. And I just feel like,

442
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 2: if you're a sport, or you're any entertainment platform, you

443
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: have people, places, outlets covering you, You do not pay them.

444
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: They're they're giving you free promotion. It's free advertising, right.

445
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 2: They spend millions of dollars on marketing to try and

446
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: get people to the park and to watch games. You

447
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: have media. So I'm not saying they have to be

448
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: your best friends, but you should treat them very respectfully.

449
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: Some don't think. Some don't think. So I've heard I've

450
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: heard it said we don't owe them anything.

451
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: Fine, they don't owe you anything. You should disappear. Then

452
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: then nobody should cover you, and you should disappear. I'm

453
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: telling you, even the top teams. There are some top

454
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 2: teams out there that will say our ratings are down

455
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: and oh, we should get more coverage, but we're not

456
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: going to help you with any of that coverage. And

457
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, do you know this isn't nineteen eighty anymore?

458
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 2: There are other sports, there are other options. People don't

459
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 2: just automatically flip on the TV. There's three channels, and

460
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 2: they're like, well, got to watch them, even though nothing's

461
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: being promoted about them. So I have to ran a little.

462
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: I'm part of media for a while. This even goes

463
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 2: back to when I worked for MLB. Even with MLB,

464
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 2: sometimes there would be several teams in particular where You're like,

465
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: do they know that we're on the same team. We're

466
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 2: just going to promote them. I don't know. It's weird.

467
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: Inside Edge Data Dish, we've got access to some stats,

468
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 2: so we're throwing them out there. This one was posted

469
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 2: this morning. Kyle Tucker is off to a hot start,

470
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: his slug percentage seven eighty four. He was on a

471
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 2: hot start last year too. And AJ that's the other

472
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: side of this A's Cubs conversation. We just spoke about

473
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: the A's for a while. The Cubs looked really good.

474
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: Was it the ballpark? Was it bad A's pitching? Or

475
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 2: do the Cubs have a much better offense now with

476
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: someone like Tucker as a legit superstar in their lineup?

477
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 2: And see Suzuki went off this past weekend too. I

478
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 2: think he's going to be way better because he doesn't

479
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 2: have to worry about the outfield. He's not a good outfielder.

480
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 2: But anyway, your thoughts.

481
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: First of all, let's take a little bit of a

482
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: step back. In seven games, or they've actually played eight games.

483
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: I think it is nine games, So let's take a

484
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: little bit of a step back. It's a small sample size.

485
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: A Scott's best friend on another channel, I used to say,

486
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 1: but let's understand that Kyle Tucker's gonna help their offense.

487
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: But they also haven't played in Wrigley yet, where it's

488
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: going to be freezing and the Win's gonna be blowing

489
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: in for two months, so let's get get back to

490
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: me in about June before it warms up. You know,

491
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: they played in Tokyo, they didn't score a bunch of

492
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: runs in Tokyo. Then they went to where Arizona I

493
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: think to start, which is a good place to hit,

494
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: and then they went to Sacramento, where it's a great

495
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: place to hit. And listen, Kyle Tucker's a really good player.

496
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: Is he gonna slick seven eighty four? Probably not, but

497
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: he's a great player when he's healthy. So let's take

498
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of a step back. But he's only

499
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: fifth in the NL. It's like he's first in the NL,

500
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: so let's also take a step back.

501
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 3: I mean, let's think about the last few years. Who

502
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 3: is the anchor of that lineup, the one year when

503
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 3: Cody Belnder did what he did. He has a couple

504
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 3: MVP finishes you're talking about. Kyle Tucker is an MVP

505
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 3: candidate and he's doing that so far, so that's great.

506
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 3: This lineup has has a lot of pieces at the

507
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 3: top of it. Can the rest of the guys. Carson

508
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 3: Kelly's probably not going to hit for the cycle ever,

509
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 3: again this season. But who knew that he was going

510
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: to hit for it then? But you sit there and

511
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 3: you go, is this lineup going to be good enough

512
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 3: to be able to withstand what's gonna happen when you

513
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 3: go back to Wrigley and you don't have those balls

514
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 3: flying out? You don't have a consistent a consistent weather

515
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 3: like the Is a lineup going to be good enough

516
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 3: to scratch runs out? I love Ian Happit at the

517
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: top of their lineup gets on base and the other

518
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: guys drive him in. How are they going to sustain

519
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 3: the success that they've had so far to start the season.

520
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: I don't know.

521
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 3: Let's there's a few teams where you go, whoa, this

522
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 3: is a really good team. A few teams that are

523
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 3: have a hot start. You go, okay, pump the brakes

524
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: a little bit. Let's let's just wait and see. I'm

525
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 3: there a wait and see team for me.

526
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: Okay, one more inside edge note Juan Soto on non fastballs.

527
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 2: The swing percentage is fourteen percent, lowest in baseball. Mets,

528
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: by the way, picked up an extra innings when which

529
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: Mets fans felt pretty good about yesterday. Because you don't

530
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 2: want to lose a series early on to the Marlins

531
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: when you just had the offseason that you had. But anyway,

532
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 2: anything to read into here, AJ.

533
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: That wasn't it's not pissed poor hitting by one Soto.

534
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: I know that. Oh want so sorry too soon, guys,

535
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know what I'm no not.

536
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 2: I love it. We can explain it.

537
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: Mike, Yeah, Mike moment he's like, uh, what they say

538
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: they they didn't score an extra innings. He's like, that's

539
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: just pissed poor hitting. And the mic caught him because

540
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: but it only so here's the thing you have to

541
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: understand it only I think caught him on the app.

542
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: It's the same way Tom Brenneman got in trouble for

543
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: what he said, which what he said we obviously you

544
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: shouldn't say anyways, but the app comes back sooner than

545
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: the actual camera. So Scott, you know this from doing

546
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: the games and crats you probably know this from doing radio.

547
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: In your ear, the producer's like, all right, we're back

548
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: in five four three two, and that's the TV feed,

549
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: but the MLB dot TV feed comes back a few

550
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 1: seconds earlier, so you kind of got to give it

551
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: like a ten second buffer window. There with say anything.

552
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 1: But I thought it was hilarious that you know, Keith

553
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, it's pissed poor hitting, which it was.

554
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: But the midst the one, and Polar Bear was a

555
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,719
Speaker 1: huge homeer. Dude, he's in balls to center and right

556
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: center in Miami. That's not supposed to have.

557
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 2: Happ Dude, Polar Bear is gonna just have this sneaky

558
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: monster year. Now. Nobody's talking about him nationally yet until

559
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 2: he starts racking up you know, homers and gets to

560
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: the top of the list. But anyway, that is true Kratz.

561
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: For me, what I learned when I was calling games

562
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:56,239
Speaker 2: consistently was you put the headset on. You're on right

563
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 2: obviously that you're on a record so people can hear,

564
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: but even once step further is that often through the app,

565
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: it's not only when you're coming back, but also often

566
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: when you go to break, it doesn't get turned off

567
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: right away. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes,

568
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 2: probably maybe someone has to do it manually. But you're on,

569
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 2: so we knew that hot Mike.

570
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: Hot Mike.

571
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 3: That's what they tell you. It's hot Mike. Don't even

572
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 3: like when you hit your cough button. When you hit

573
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 3: your cough button. Don't even like just it's a hot mic.

574
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 3: That's that's what you need to know. What's also hot

575
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 3: about that stat? And I was going to say, Pete Statt,

576
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 3: he hit three balls yesterday at one hundred and thirteen

577
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 3: miles per hour or or harder like he was smashing

578
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 3: the ball, and what AJ said to hit it where

579
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: he was hitting it in. While Marlin's Park isn't what

580
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 3: it used to be, it used to be farther. Those

581
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 3: are bombs. But Wan Soto that fourteen percent on non

582
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 3: fast he doesn't even swing at non fastballs. As a catcher,

583
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 3: I go, hey, you know what, you get a free strike,

584
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 3: you're down one to zero. Drop a curveball in for

585
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 3: a strike. Doesn't even need to be a really good pitch,

586
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 3: Just drop the curveball in. The dude just smashes fastballs

587
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: and he doesn't chase out of his own So I

588
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 3: like that stat. That's a good stat for pitchers who

589
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 3: are like, how do I get one Soto out?

590
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 2: Exactly why we're going to do more of this and

591
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 2: ask you guys about this. Get the catcher perspective, all right,

592
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 2: deep breath for the twins and the Brewers. They were

593
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: winless a few days ago. They've both won a couple

594
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: of games in a row. Everyone, okay, well, are you

595
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 2: not supposed to be making sure making sure?

596
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's not okay Rosenthal's World Series pick with

597
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: the Braves. I don't know if we're going to get

598
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: to that. I don't know wh whatever picked the Braves

599
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: to win the World Series. I mean, I couldn'tname another person.

600
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: Can't do it this way. Who didn't you pick the

601
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 2: Braves to win the World Series.

602
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm not here to talk about the power, miss I misremembered.

603
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: Wow, all right, well anyway, yes, we will get to

604
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: the Braves with Grant McCauley. The Brewers had a nice

605
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: pick me up these last couple of games after getting

606
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: beat up by the Royals. I think it was eleven

607
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 2: to one in the first game of the series. They

608
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 2: really held him down. Freddy Peralta was the stopper yesterday too, well,

609
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 2: not the stopper they had won the day before, but

610
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 2: eight innings for him, and then you know, they came back.

611
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 2: They ended up winning an extra's cheerio looked really good

612
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: yesterday and then Baters had uh homers and back to

613
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: back games for the Twinkies. White Sox offense was pretty

614
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: quiet the last couple of games. You gotta beat the

615
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: White Sox, the three the Twins, that's your one gimme

616
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: in the division A j earmups, but it's true. One

617
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 2: more shout out, actually I want to do because we

618
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 2: won't have time for this. But Evon Horrera had three

619
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 2: homers yesterday for the Cardinals.

620
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: Far far homers.

621
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: Far pulled the crap out of them. All different pitches

622
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: to two were from Kiku g I think one was

623
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 2: a breaker, one was maybe a change up and then

624
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: and then a heater late in the game. All lefties,

625
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 2: all lefties. That's cool.

626
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 3: Big macklan, he was just Pepper and Big Maclan. It

627
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: was I mean, he was pimping on him.

628
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: He was.

629
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 3: He had a going yesterday. And you know he's the

630
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: first Cardinals catcher to ever hit three home runs in

631
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 3: a game. Yes, that I did not believe that when

632
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 3: they said that on the on the telecast.

633
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 2: Yadi was their catcher for the last hundred years and

634
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 2: if he didn't have a three homer game, I guess,

635
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: I mean.

636
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: That's that's crazy, that's crazy to think history. Yeah, I didn't.

637
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: I didn't even have a three hundred three homer game

638
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: as a cardinal. They would have taken out before Yeah,

639
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: oh easy. If I would have, I could had I

640
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: could have been three for three with three homers. It's

641
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: a fifth inning. Mike Mathene would have been like, you're

642
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: doing too good. Let's get you out. We need him

643
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: back in.

644
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 2: You would have gotten out of you, you know.

645
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: Just too It was funny, Scott, that was my limit.

646
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 2: Better than box scores. This series is continuing already right now,

647
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: so we'll talk about it in two ways. Yesterday, Garrett

648
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: Crochet's first start after getting a lot of money was

649
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 2: super successful and eight innings because you don't need to

650
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 2: have any kid gloves anymore. You've got him locked in.

651
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 2: He can just eat no runs, four hits, eight k's,

652
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 2: one walk against the very good Baltimore Orioles offense. Team

653
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: wins yesterday, and they're right now beating Charlie Moore in

654
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 2: and the Oriols more than last. I checked at like

655
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 2: seven k's and I think four innings, but they've got

656
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 2: a couple homers off them. Christian Gamble, the newly Richer,

657
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: Christian Campbell, and who else homered so far today Bregman,

658
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: first homer for Bregman, right, Reggie baumb Yeah, Boston's gonna

659
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 2: be good. I slapped a little money on.

660
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: This win the division, some of them, some of us

661
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: picked him to win the division.

662
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: I'm just saying many of us did. Actually I here.

663
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: Talking about the past Crochet.

664
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 3: I was surprised that he did this well right after

665
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 3: the extension. I remember when Cole Hamil's got his extension

666
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 3: from the Phillies.

667
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: It was like, Oh, is he going to be traded?

668
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: Is he not?

669
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: They made him get a MRI. I guess which is

670
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: the one where they shoot the die in your shoulder.

671
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 3: I think that's an MRI. But anyway, they shot it

672
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 3: in there and he had a start two days after

673
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 3: and it was kind of a clunker, and I remember

674
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 3: him being before the game like, oh man, that die

675
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 3: is still killing me. So I'm like, you know, they

676
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 3: did a physical for you know, they did a physical

677
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 3: for Crochet to be able to lock in that much

678
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 3: money for him. Maybe they didn't, or maybe he's a

679
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 3: cyborg and that kind of stuff doesn't hurt him.

680
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: Or he was already coming off of a spring training

681
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: physical and they already had it and they didn't need

682
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: to do it again. That also could be that it's

683
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: not that. Maybe maybe it's close enough. Yeah, I don't know.

684
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: But you know who else is pitching really well today?

685
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: And I know this is Pods. Will hear it later.

686
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: But Kratz's guy who he said was not gonna have

687
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: a good year, Taiwan Walker, and he's out there just

688
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: shoving against the Rockies. So he's got here we are.

689
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, I said Kratz. Yeah he didn't put

690
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:25,479
Speaker 2: that out there.

691
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: You didn't say that. Pretty sure.

692
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 3: No, his his his velo was up all spring two

693
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 3: to three miles an hour, which gives him more separation

694
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 3: from his splitter, Olive.

695
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: Philly hates him. Olive Philly does not want Taiwan Walker

696
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: out there. That is, that is for sure. I can

697
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: hear that on the radio, and my radio is not

698
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:48,239
Speaker 1: even on right now.

699
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 2: You know who Philly wants. They want Spencer Turnbull back.

700
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: I can't believe he's still a free agent. He's still

701
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: just chucking. I think at the Boris facility in Marcot, Tanasio,

702
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 2: the brewers own apparently said I think yesterday that they

703
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: were still having some combos about a Boris Client a pitcher, like,

704
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 2: it's definitely him. People were joking there, like it's either

705
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 2: him or Joey Gallo. I think it's Turnbull. But anyway,

706
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 2: Boston looked good yesterday. That looked good so far today.

707
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: On the other side, I know I'm the down guy

708
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 2: on the Orioles, but when I was on Oriols Radio

709
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 2: two days ago, they were like thoughts on Chicano and

710
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 2: more in I'm like, well, Chicano, I think got one

711
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 2: strikeout and I'm not swinging missing his first outing. I

712
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: was like, I'm very concerned that Charlie Morion could show

713
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 2: that this is his last year Adam wayIn Wright style,

714
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 2: and so far today again he's got punch outs, but

715
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 2: this is another clunker outing for him so far. So

716
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 2: they're gonna need to figure out better starting pitching to

717
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 2: keep up.

718
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 1: I'll be very interested than any Grayson back obviously. Yeah,

719
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: I'll be very interested to see how Chicano does because

720
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: I I talked to some money that played with him

721
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 1: in Japan. I forget who it was, but they said

722
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: just just watch him because he's They didn't think that

723
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: his stuff or saw them. I don't know if they

724
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: saw him in Japan or played with I don't know,

725
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: somebody that knew him from Japan, and they said, just

726
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 1: just watch him, because I'm not sold that his game

727
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: translates to the Major League Baseball game. And sometimes that happens.

728
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: It works over there, it doesn't work over here. Sometimes

729
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: it's vice versa. Guys work over there and they don't

730
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: work over here. You know, so they work over here

731
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 1: and they don't work over there. So it'll be interesting

732
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,479
Speaker 1: to see how he does over one hundred and sixty

733
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: two game season.

734
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 2: A lot of teams weren't into him. Several years ago,

735
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 2: a lot of teams weren't into him, so he pulled

736
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 2: back right he was going to get posted, and then

737
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 2: he was like, all right, never mind, there's not enough

738
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: interest here. So we'll see what happens. Let's move to

739
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks taking down the Yankees again and the Catel

740
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 2: Marte extension. He had years to go Kratz, but they

741
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: just added more years on. So now he could be

742
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 2: signed up through twenty thirty one. If he takes a

743
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 2: player option for eleven and a half mil during that year,

744
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 2: they're essentially locking him up for life. Why not? I mean,

745
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 2: he was an MVP candidate for most of last year

746
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: until injury bug hit him a little bit late, but

747
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 2: he was what finished third I think for MVP, I

748
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: think it was Otani Lindor and then Katel Marte. He's

749
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 2: one of the best players in the National League, and

750
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 2: nowadays that kind of money on an extension looks like

751
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 2: nothing there there were years locked in already, so you're

752
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 2: just tacking on more on top. But this is a

753
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 2: no brainer.

754
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 3: I realized he was there since twenty seventeen. I knew

755
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,840
Speaker 3: he was at the Mariners. They traded him over, and

756
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 3: this is second top five MVP finished. He might be

757
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 3: he might be one of the more underrated players in

758
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 3: the game, obviously coming off the year he had last year.

759
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 3: Here in top three, all of a sudden, everybody knows

760
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 3: about you, but how many people knew about a switch

761
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 3: hitting athletic player that could tell Marte is to me,

762
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 3: he and I read the one quote he said, I

763
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 3: wanted to be in Arizona, so why wouldn't I do this?

764
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 3: They're starting to build something in Arizona too that people

765
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 3: want to be there, they want to stay. They're not

766
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 3: just like I'm pushing it. I'm pushing as much as.

767
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: I can, and this enables Arizona to get a little

768
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: bit better price. I love this move. This guy is

769
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: a snake. He should be a snake for life and

770
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: now he's probably going to be so good for you

771
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: to tell Marte. Good for your Diamondbacks. This and the

772
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 1: Diamonbacks have spent the money. We yell at owners all

773
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: the time. Ken Kendrick's going out spending the money. No,

774
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: I mean, does he wish he had the Jordan Montgomery

775
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: contract back? Absolutely, especially after his year last year and

776
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 1: then he you know, had Tommy John So I love

777
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: this though. I love the Diamonbacks are going out spending

778
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: their money and it's great. It's a great topic for

779
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:47,959
Speaker 1: Snake's Territory for them to talk about.

780
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 2: That's right QR codes on your screen if you're a

781
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 2: Diamondbacks fan or you just want to hear about what's

782
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,280
Speaker 2: going on with the team. Brand new show FT Network

783
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 2: Snake's Territory. Check it out and shout out to Gallon.

784
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 2: Two thirds, shutout, three hits, no walks, thirteen strikeouts. He

785
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 2: torpedoed the ank.

786
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: He owns the Yankees. He owns the Yankees, by the way,

787
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: owns the Jersey guy yeap owns them.

788
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:14,959
Speaker 2: He gets up for these starts.

789
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: In our game. Is in our Yeah.

790
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 3: I mean maybe maybe he's a free agent, maybe they

791
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 3: might want to sign him. But anyway, in our high

792
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 3: school game yesterday, the pitcher that threw for us through

793
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 3: a complete game, seven incomplete game, and he had thirteen strikeouts,

794
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 3: and it felt like he struck out everybody. So to

795
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 3: do that in a big league game, it was just

796
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 3: like the curveball. I guess the Yankees are they're gonna

797
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 3: ditch the torpedo bat and they're gonna go with the

798
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 3: curveball machine. Or maybe they should put the curveballs in

799
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 3: the curveball machine and see what happens, because that's another

800
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 3: thing long with torpedo bats. Go get the torpedo bats,

801
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 3: the box of steam, the key to the batter's box,

802
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 3: the left handed breaking balls, all those.

803
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 2: Okay, hey j you have media members taking photos in

804
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 2: the trap and it looks broken.

805
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: It looks like what you would expect to look like

806
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: if there was no roof on it. I mean I

807
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: drove by. I posted a picture of when I drove

808
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: by it when we were in spring training, and it

809
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,360
Speaker 1: looked like that without the roof from the outside. But

810
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: there's something. When we went to the Rays, I was

811
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: asking some of the people about it, and they said,

812
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: you know, the problem is every time it rains, more

813
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 1: stuff gets wet, and more stuff gets more water seeps

814
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: into places they hadn't found before. So first thing they

815
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: gotta do is put a roof on that bad boy

816
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: before they even start about thinking about playing their next

817
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: possibly next year. I don't know, man, I don't know.

818
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 2: It's crazy that they're gonna sink money back into that thing.

819
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 1: What else they gonna do. They're not gonna play at

820
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: Steinberger Field.

821
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 2: You had twenty years to figure this out. Twenty years,

822
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 2: and you know what finally happencrats mother Nature hit and

823
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 2: was like, too late. You guys should have put every

824
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 2: body in a safer, newer, fresher spot. You had twenty

825
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 2: freaking years. I can't believe that this has gone so

826
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 2: long for both of these teams. It's still hard to

827
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 2: fathom that we're actually here. We've got two minor league parks. Obviously,

828
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 2: it looks like a shell of itself. Back at the

829
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 2: trop If I was commissioner and this was what the

830
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: commissioner was made for, in the past, not to be

831
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 2: you know, a boot lickor and just do whatever everyone

832
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 2: says in the past. When it initially was created, it

833
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 2: was so that you could make decisions and not be

834
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 2: listening to that one person right you would say, hey,

835
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 2: you've got five years to figure this out, otherwise penalties

836
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 2: are coming. That is what the role was created for.

837
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 2: So the fact that they're may be going to pour

838
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 2: public money back into that place instead of a new

839
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: place and people are gonna have to go to that

840
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 2: again is insane. That looks like an ancient artifact of

841
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 2: a place where it's like apocalypse years from now or

842
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 2: something and people are gonna be like, is this the coliseum?

843
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: There used to be actual fish in right field. There

844
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: was a pool here. I don't I don't know.

845
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if I agree with you that, like

846
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 3: the storm rip the roof off, should they have fixt

847
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 3: to the point where the roof was better?

848
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 2: Yeah?

849
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 1: Maybe, but I mean there was a lot of damage

850
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: in that storm.

851
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 3: They have to figure it out though they had, and

852
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 3: they're they're gonna get a lot more rain the summer.

853
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 3: It rains all the time, so they're gonna figure out

854
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 3: where the water's coming in from But it's just a

855
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 3: crazy thing to think about, Like everything inside is supposed

856
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 3: to be inside. They didn't like, oh well, we better

857
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 3: weather proof this so in case we get rain. No,

858
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 3: there might be like a leak or something from the roof.

859
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 3: It is just it's coming in.

860
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 2: The roof was not made to last for that long.

861
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 2: It was paper mache. A new place would have held.

862
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what he said.

863
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 2: That's what he said.

864
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: That's what he said.

865
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:53,479
Speaker 2: That's what he said.

866
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 4: You got to come back hungry and hungrier every year.

867
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 4: And everybody knows that an athlete's career is short. That

868
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 4: there's been you know, this is now the fourth year,

869
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 4: and that's a pretty big chunk of a pro athlete's

870
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 4: career unless you're twenty two years old and you think, well,

871
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 4: I got I can do this forever. But most of

872
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 4: these guys aren't, and they realize that they're closer to

873
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 4: the end than they are to the beginning. And I

874
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 4: think that's a great motivation for players. What I do

875
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 4: see though, I think this team Ruben is because of

876
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 4: the strength and the pitching staff, and that if you

877
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 4: look at like ten and eleven in particular, I think

878
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 4: those two teams, and especially eleven, were really driven by

879
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 4: their pitching stats. And I mean, as Dave Dombrowski has said,

880
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 4: you know, whenever you have a match, when you can

881
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 4: put a matchup out there that generally favors you one

882
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty two games every night, you're gonna you're

883
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 4: gonna win an awful lot of games. I mean, they

884
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 4: may not be perfect, but they are strong, and they

885
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 4: can go deep into the games.

886
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: They could go deep in the season.

887
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 4: And I think that's where if you combined the motivation

888
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 4: of the eighty team to this the fifth team, and

889
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 4: you look at the kind of the way these both

890
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 4: A eleven and this team are comprised. You know, the

891
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 4: way that Gruven organized Who's eleven team and the way

892
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 4: Pat has organized Pack sorry Dave has organized this team.

893
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 4: I think I think they're really I think those two

894
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 4: teams are more similar in their composition where their strength

895
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 4: slot lay right uh and frankly where some of their

896
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 4: their weaknesses.

897
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: Are all right.

898
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 2: So that's John Middleton really good on The Philly Show

899
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 2: earlier today with our hosts Ruby Tomorrow, Jim Salisberry and

900
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 2: Todd z a Lecky. I want to give you one more. Okay,

901
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 2: one one more bite from him as they asked them

902
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 2: about the National League competition, the Dodgers, the whole deal.

903
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 2: So we'll run that, then we'll react quick after because

904
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 2: he gave us a nice media answer. Here it is.

905
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 4: But look, if you want to win the World Series,

906
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 4: whether they're in the American League of the National League,

907
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 4: the National League West of the National League East, you're

908
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 4: gonna have to beat them at some point in time.

909
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:02,879
Speaker 2: To be the best, you have to beat the best.

910
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 2: And so you know, it's.

911
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 4: Difficult because the financial resources that the Yankees have, the

912
00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 4: Mets have, and you know the Dodgers have is it's

913
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 4: just significantly more than other people. In fact, how Steinbrenner

914
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 4: is quoted as saying, you know, we're at a huge

915
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 4: disadvantage to compared to the Dodgers. So I gives you

916
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 4: a sense of a where how perceives the competition and

917
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 4: where he stands. But I'll also remind people that I

918
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 4: think it was starting in nineteen eighty one, the Yankees

919
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 4: had the highest payroll in baseball for fifteen consecutive years

920
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 4: and they never managed to win the East, the Eastern

921
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 4: Division title and make the postseason.

922
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 2: So it's not just about money.

923
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 4: It's about having the right players and developing them and

924
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 4: keeping them healthy, and as Pat Gillick loved to say,

925
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 4: having the luck that you have twenty five healthy players

926
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 4: playing at the best of the game at precisely the

927
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 4: right moment in time. So you know, that's why you

928
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 4: play one hundred and sixty two games and then you

929
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 4: play you know, seven, five and seven game series because

930
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 4: you don't win it on paper, you don't win in

931
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 4: the offseason, and you don't win it in the media

932
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 4: talk rooms.

933
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 2: You win it on the field. So the beginning of

934
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 2: this Kratz was them saying, hey, you've got the Dodgers

935
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 2: coming to town this weekend. He's like, yeah, we beat

936
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 2: them in both series last year, and he essentially was like,

937
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 2: look at the scoreboard. It wasn't even that close.

938
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 3: He's a confident person. He's a confident person, but he

939
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 3: he exudes that because he wants that out of his team.

940
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 3: He wants that in his all the relationships that he's in. Like,

941
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 3: he's like, just go out and do it. Stop being like.

942
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 3: His message to the team was be adaptive. Be adaptive.

943
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 3: He didn't say, hey, striking out on breaking balls, or

944
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 3: chasing this, or he said.

945
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: Be adaptive.

946
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 3: You have to figure out how to learn how to

947
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 3: pit better, hit better, feel better one day at a time.

948
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,839
Speaker 1: He is, he is the he's a top three owner

949
00:45:58,920 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: right now.

950
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 2: That was a great passion for him.

951
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: Why didn't he even compare it to THEA team. Why

952
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 1: is he talking about eleven? Eleven didn't win anything. Let's

953
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: talk about the oaight team. He should be like, I

954
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: want to be like the eight team.

955
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 2: Let's slap anything the Yankees do kind of goes viral

956
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 2: these days. No, that's not torpedo juice. That's bone broth

957
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,800
Speaker 2: in the dugout, and people are like, really, bone broth.

958
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 2: You know what I was thinking, Aja tomorrow, every big

959
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 2: league team and every little league team is going to

960
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 2: have it in their dugout.

961
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is every team already has this

962
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: in their dugout. So it's not a story, not a story,

963
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,359
Speaker 1: not a story, not a story either. Bone broth? Why

964
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: bone broth? Because it's easy on the stomach, it's hot

965
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: and it goes into you when it's cold. Or we

966
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: used to have like chicken noodle soup and it was

967
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: basically they take all the chicken and the noodles out

968
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: of it, so you basically had chicken broth, so you

969
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't get a full stomach, but it would warm you inside. Yep.

970
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: And you'd see the trainer would come up to you

971
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: with a cup and be like, are you that cold?

972
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 1: You need chicken broth or bone broth or whatever. So

973
00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 1: this is nothing new, have it for years. The coolest

974
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,400
Speaker 1: thing I ever saw to fight the cold though, And

975
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know this until Paul Canerco taught me. Take vasiline.

976
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 1: Put it all over your body, closes the pores, It

977
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 1: keeps you warm. You don't have to wear sleeves. I

978
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 1: didn't believe it. I never tried it, but he had

979
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: to take his word for it. Wow. I hate the

980
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: newses vazelene Ye.

982
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 2: comment through our tweet up right now. Dick Peters on

983
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 2: Twitter goes, imagine striking out and going back to the

984
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 2: dugout for a nice warm bowl of soup while you

985
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 2: watch your tablet to sound it funny.

986
