1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: Wow, what a first weekend. Can we just run that

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: weekend back in different forms for the rest of the season.

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: It's Braun, It's Kratz, Cam MABN with us today. Good

4
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: to see you, Cam and actually Cam. Before we dive

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: into everything, I do want to announce this and we'll

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: get more details tomorrow. You're gonna be hanging out with

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: us on Wednesday night. This is our first ever playback

8
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: watch party. Yes, Kratz, get jealous, you're not invited to

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: this when I know you have an invitation rejection problem.

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna invite you to one very soon. I promise.

11
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: It's on playback. It's at seven o'clock Eastern time. We've

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: done watch parties before. This is Yankees Diamondbacks. We'll be

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: with you for the entire game. Our Pinstripe Territory leader

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: Derek Lewandowski Jesse Friedman, who covers the Diamondbacks. We're going

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: to get both sides of the equation, plus Cam, plus

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: me playing a little point guard, and we'll guide you

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: through the game like an alt cast and you can

18
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: watch the game with us along the way. So won't

19
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: be one of those watch parties where we're like, hey, pause.

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: Is everybody at the same point. Everybody's going to be

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: looking at the same thing at the same time. I

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: think you need an MLB dot tv account and then

23
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: otherwise you should be good to go. So looking forward

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: to that camp and we can actually kind of call

25
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: a game together, but in our style.

26
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to it. I was excited

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 2: as as soon as I heard about it. I think

28
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: this is going to give a really good perspective from

29
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: ex players point of view, guys that cover their favorite

30
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: teams point of view, and I think this is going

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: to be the first of many to come. So I'm

32
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: super pumped to be doing it. I'm gonna miss my

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: boy Cratzy Cratzy, I know he'd be great at this

34
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: as well. But we're gonna knock it out. I can't wait.

35
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Kratz is gonna get his moment. He's gonna get his

36
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: moment to shine. So we'll get to it. Krats, you

37
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: can talk about this little four box of photos that

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: helped to describe the weekend before we charge the mound.

39
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: You want to run us through this.

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: I mean, poor lighter got hit in the hitten, the thigh.

41
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 3: Let's put it this way. And I wanted to see

42
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 3: what happened to the the rest of that rap that

43
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 3: Wilson just chewed off of there, And that was a

44
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: male male patterned tarpness right there, little thinning of tarp

45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: by the White Sox. And I wish I had this

46
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: bat when I played, because clearly it is.

47
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Duh, dude, are you kidding me? That was it? If

48
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: you just got to the sweet spot every time, you

49
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: would have hit dingers every time, and you were always

50
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: like two inches off the sweet spot. So now we

51
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: have the torpedoes. Let's dive into that right now, let's charge.

52
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 4: Talking about.

53
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: This is what this show is made for. But also,

54
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: torpedo bats are getting ordered in masses this week. Suddenly

55
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: every bat company is like, everybody.

56
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 2: Come in.

57
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 5: I know it's the week, and everybody come in. We

58
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 5: need to make twenty million torpedo bats for every baseball

59
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 5: player on the planet so they can all hitdingers every

60
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 5: time they step up and make any type of contact.

61
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: But Cam, talk us through what you saw this weekend,

62
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: which obviously just caught storm in Major League Baseball. On Saturday,

63
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: the Yanks put together a nine homer performance. They scored

64
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: twenty runs against the Brewers. They swept them this weekend,

65
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: so great weekend for them. Judge doesn't use this, but

66
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: as soon as the torpedo bat was revealed and promoted

67
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: to a worldwide audience via the Yankees broadcast, everyone went

68
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: nuts in different directions. So what did you think?

69
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: Well, first off, what I thought as a baseball fan

70
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: watching the game is, I know there are a ton

71
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: of home runs hit, but I couldn't help. But you know,

72
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: come to the point of, hey, how many of these

73
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: fifteen home runs where the pitches middle middle And I'm

74
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: gonna tell you, out of fifteen of those homers, thirteen

75
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: of them were.

76
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 4: Really well executed pitches.

77
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: Ban Rice hit a slide down and end got his

78
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: hands in, great great swing. Tip your hat, Anthony BOPI

79
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: got to a pitch up and end inside corner, pulled

80
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: his hands in, got to it. Other than that, I

81
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: saw a lot of eighty nine to ninety three. We're

82
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: talking about in the league where guys are locked in,

83
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: are you know, taking extra swings and reps to make

84
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: sure they can hit the fastball?

85
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: And what they got during that Brewer series, what's.

86
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: A bunch of VP. We're talking about the New York

87
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: Yankees who you know. You look at this lineup and cratzy.

88
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: I hope he'll agree. And I said it before. Gold

89
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: Schmidt will be reinvigorated. I think the best version of

90
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: Jazz Chisholm will be in New York. You have guys

91
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: like Aaron Judge, Anthony Bopie another year in of experience.

92
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: They take advantage of mistakes. So before we get to

93
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: the torpedo bats, let's talk about the Brewers and the

94
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 2: mistakes that they made. I'm questioning that pitching staff right now.

95
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: Nothing overpowering other than Freddy Peralta in that rotation. The

96
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: bullpen didn impress me at all. How about giving Yankee's

97
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: credit for taking advantage of a lot of Brewers' mistakes.

98
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent, and I'll go right to the

99
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: torpedo bat. Believe me, you can look up at my stats.

100
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: I could have used a boat or and I probably

101
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 3: still wouldn't have gotten Nothing illegal was done. A lot

102
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 3: of the videos by prominent people, it's satire. Okay, fans, relax,

103
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 3: These bats have been out there for a while. It

104
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: is hard to hit a big league baseball. It is

105
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: hard to do it against nester throwing eighty nine cutters

106
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 3: up and in, but he only had ninety one on

107
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: the speedball, which wasn't getting anybody by anybody, and so

108
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 3: they didn't have to really speed up or it wasn't

109
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: that much of a difference, and they brought guys in

110
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 3: that most likely aren't in games because they were blowouts.

111
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 3: So it compounded. Credit to the Yankees. Credit to the

112
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 3: Yankees for taking care of business against a pitching staff that,

113
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: you know what or minus a lot of velocity. Freddy Peralta,

114
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 3: I think struck out seven or eight the first day,

115
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: gave up a few runs. But you sit there and

116
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 3: you go, this, this lineup is good. If they're going

117
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: to be great, it's not going to be because of

118
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: torpedo bats. It's going to be because they take their walks,

119
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 3: they pass it to the next guy, and they minimize

120
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 3: their strikeouts.

121
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: Give the people what they want. Let's bring that Jazz

122
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: tweet up since that's the most recent one that we've gotten,

123
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he's getting all kinds of love from

124
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: anti Yankee people on socials, he said, Okay, explanation, the

125
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: barrel is bigger and within MLB regulation. For the idiots

126
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: that say it's moved to the label you're an idiot.

127
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: Nobody's trying to get jammed. You just move the wood

128
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: from the parts you don't use to the parts you do.

129
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: You're welcome. No more stress for y'all, caam. We also

130
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: learned about a number of other players that are using

131
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: bats like this. So even though that mit crazy dude

132
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: who came up with it for the Yanks looks like

133
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: a gy, Ryan Jeffers for the Twins was using it

134
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: this weekend. Junior Camonaro Yondi Diaz, you don't have a

135
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: torpedo bat.

136
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: Nick Nico Horner was using one yesterday's game. Junior Camario

137
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: was using it last year. Like Cracy said, these bats

138
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: have been around. But the point, I just want to

139
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: make a point. When I came up, all my idols

140
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: use this CE two seventy one. The sweet spot on

141
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: the C two seventy one is about from here to here,

142
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: very small, very little room for era. I realized very

143
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: shortly I wasn't good enough to use that bat. So

144
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: one time I was very fortunate enough to come across

145
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: a guy named Nelly Cruz, one of the better power

146
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: hitters that we've seen our game.

147
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 4: He used this bat. This is a n C twenty three.

148
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: Look how much Look how much barrel is on this bat.

149
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: It goes from here to here, So.

150
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: I know that you using a torpedo bat. This gave

151
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 4: me more room for era.

152
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 2: So guys have been trying to find the right bat

153
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: for years that will allow them to have more roo

154
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: for error.

155
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 4: Like Jazz stated, it's simple.

156
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: Uh.

157
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 4: They talked about Anthony Voupe.

158
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: But he's a guy that naturally hits the ball down

159
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: the label a little bit, okay, so let's move that

160
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 2: sweet spot.

161
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 4: The game continues to adjust. They do it in golf

162
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: with their pitching wedges, with their wedges, with their irons.

163
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: Right, trying to minimize their maximized spin, trying to cut

164
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: out slices and fades. This is a part of the game.

165
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: It's within the room. Pratsy said, it's all legal. So

166
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: just because it's the Yankees there, there's gonna be a

167
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 2: bigger fuss about it. But how about you know, guys

168
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: on the mound do a better job of executing and hey,

169
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, the next series coming

170
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: up is a big one, the Arizona Diamondbacks. They get

171
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: to see the Yankees the Big Three to see just

172
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: how much those torpo those torpedo bats really help the

173
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: Yankees out.

174
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 4: Still still live, Cratzy.

175
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: Still knocks, still knocks. Wait can I show Trevor McGill's line,

176
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: because you're getting this via quote right from the New

177
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: York Post. We put it up on our socials as well.

178
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: He said when he was asked about the Bats, it's

179
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: the Yankees, so they'll let it slide. I didn't get

180
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: to see any video of this, But do you think

181
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: he was kidding or is he actually you know, a

182
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: little ticked because he's playing for a small market team

183
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: thinking that the Yankees get the advantages first, I mean,

184
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,319
Speaker 1: what do you guys take from this one?

185
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 3: Go ahead? Uh?

186
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 2: Well, you know what I do know Trevor, and he's

187
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 2: the type of guy, good dude. I don't think he

188
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: was being serious about this very very much. I think,

189
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 2: you know, I think all the guys know, all the

190
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: bats have checked. All the bats go through a process

191
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: to get approved by MLB to make sure they're you know,

192
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: they come come up as regulation. I don't think Trevor

193
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: was too serious. I think he might have just been,

194
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: you know, making fun of the situation.

195
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: I don't know. I hope he's not that serious.

196
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: Ft fam, I hope you have as much confidence as

215
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would hope he's not necessario either. But the

216
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: model that I Swung from two thousand and six till

217
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 3: twenty twenty was an I thirteen. The original I thirteen

218
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 3: was Pete Incavillia. Pete Incavillia went straight from college, hitting

219
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 3: like forty nine dangers, right to the big leagues. So

220
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 3: he said, make me a bat that's exactly like my

221
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 3: Oma Hall Classic one whatever. The bat that he used was.

222
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: So the person who made the billets, the person who

223
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 3: took the billets and spun the wooden bats, just made

224
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 3: an exact digital replica of his metal bat. The barrel

225
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: was like two and three quarters or two and five eights.

226
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what the barrels were at that time

227
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: for metal bats, And so the original I thirteen is

228
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: just a monstrous barrel. They have regulations now the I

229
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 3: thirteen is a much skinnier barrel, still long, but much skinnier. So, yes,

230
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: Trevor McGill, you know, if he's being for real. It

231
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: was probably said in the heat of the moment because

232
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 3: he's since retracted it. But I do like some sarcasm,

233
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: so I choose to believe this was sarcastic.

234
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: We've had him on the show. We can try and

235
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: get him back on to talk about this at some

236
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: point soon. The Yankees also started off Saturday with back

237
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: to back to back homers. They were like, yeah, sure,

238
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: let's try Goldsmid at the top, then belly. Then obviously

239
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: Judge had a ridiculous weekend and we'll talk more about

240
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: him later on. The offense was clearly humming. Is Vulpi

241
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: the poster child for something like this cam because you know,

242
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: when you read some of the stories, they were talking

243
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: about how he was consistently not hitting the ball on

244
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: the sweet spot, right, So they said, hey, let's redistribute

245
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: the weight to make a bat that fits what his

246
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: strength is. So is it that simple with someone like him?

247
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: Judge obviously was like, yeah, have you seen what I've

248
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: done in the past few years. I'm not switching.

249
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 4: That was the best quote.

250
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: That was the best quote actually, But no, but that's

251
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: your point, that's your point about Evopee. You know, as

252
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: I thought about this, I just thought it was genius, right,

253
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 2: I thought it was genius When you talk about analytics,

254
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 2: and this is where people really get caught up on it,

255
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 2: and this is where analytics becomes important. Right, instead of

256
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: just giving you informations, giving players the right information to

257
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: maximize their chances to have success. So when you talk

258
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: about Vopie or somebody understanding, hey man, you get a

259
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 2: lot of balls down the barrow, let's just redistribute that

260
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: weight right there and don't change your thing. Keep doing

261
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 2: what you're doing because that's just been your tendency. So uh,

262
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 2: you know, I think it's genius. I think, you know,

263
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: the analytic department should get a lot of credit. And

264
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 2: and uh the gentleman who is now with the Marlins

265
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: who came who I guess came up with the idea

266
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: for Anthony Vopie. Uh, but I think it's just you know,

267
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 2: playing chestnut checkers, staying ahead of the curve. When you

268
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: talk about all of the information and all of the

269
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: science behind the game. I think that's just a great

270
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: job by the Yankees of hiring people to stay ahead

271
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: of the curve.

272
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 3: There's somebody that you the name is. He didn't have

273
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 3: a tremendous career, but he was a big leaguer for

274
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: four years. Toughy Goosowitch came to spring training in two

275
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: thousand and twelve and he had this brand new bat

276
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 3: that he went to somebody who was like who measured

277
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: his hands measured his swing speed and everything. It was

278
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 3: like an r R one sixty one handle, which is

279
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 3: super super thick, and a C two seventy one head.

280
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: It was like the two things that I hated about

281
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: bats more than anything in the world. Like it was

282
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: like the worst bat ever. And I was like, bro,

283
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 3: this thing is brutal. First at bat in spring training

284
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: opposite field. Dinger didn't hit a dinger opposite field the

285
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 3: entire season the year before in the minor leagues, and

286
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: he went up. You think dudes weren't in there at

287
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 3: least trying to swing that table leg that he was

288
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 3: bringing up there as a bat. Like, guys are gonna

289
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 3: try it. Guys are definitely gonna try it if it

290
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 3: helps Volpi awesome. Is it gonna make him a thirty

291
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: home run guy?

292
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: Pump the brakes?

293
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 4: That's the thing. Yeah. People still forgets.

294
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can they think people yet one and it's

295
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: automatically lead to more sweet spot contact for some guys. Yes,

296
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: but you guys are mentioning everybody is a different hitter

297
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: and we don't get into the intricacies like this so often.

298
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: But that's what we need to do here.

299
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know what I can't wait till we

300
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 4: get back on here in a month from now.

301
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: When guys are in slumps and they're like, oh, what

302
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 2: happened with a torpedo mat, I'm.

303
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, because you still have to play the game

304
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 4: at some point.

305
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: Pictures we're still in early We're still in late March,

306
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: about to be in early April. Guys are still working

307
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 2: the kinks out. Pictures are start gonna start executing even more.

308
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: You're gonna see, you know, things start even itself out.

309
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 2: I do believe that. So just it's early. The Brewers

310
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: made a lot of mistakes.

311
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 4: At some point in his game.

312
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: You had to tip your cap and go, hey, Yankees,

313
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: way to go taking advantage of the mistakes.

314
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 4: Aaron Boom, way.

315
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: To go putting ghost from at the top because he's

316
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: been a Brewer killer his entire career. Hey managing execution

317
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: and all went into part of it. I don't think

318
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: the torpedo Bats had a lot.

319
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 4: To do with it.

320
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: Thirty six to fourteen, they outscored the Brewers. So Dave Simms,

321
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: our buddy, was on the call for his first series

322
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: as the voice of Yankees Radio, and his colleague who

323
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: he sits next to, all year now. Susan Waldman, who

324
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: is hilarious, was like, are you okay? Are you used

325
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: to doing this? This is more in one game than

326
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: the Mariners scored in a month last season. Obviously with

327
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: some sarcasm, but not too much. She said, here's the tweet.

328
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: This was after the seventh homer, and eventually they scored

329
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: twenty and hit nine, but they were at thirteen runs

330
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: at the moment. She goes, You're not going to know

331
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: what to do with this. Your old team didn't or

332
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: thirteen runs in a month. Just a perfect line. That's

333
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: why she's incredible, so freaking good.

334
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, she's the best.

335
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 3: She's a leasing Mariners catching strays just in the middle

336
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 3: of a Yankees Brewers game, and it didn't didn't expect

337
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 3: that coming.

338
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 4: Yes, Susan's she's always been up to date with the time.

339
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 4: She continues to impress me. Trolling at its finest.

340
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: Let's go, yes, exactly all right. So coming up next,

341
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: we'll probably ask a torpedo question to Scott Coleman, our

342
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: Hammer Territory host one of four, because the Braves could

343
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: use a few torpedoes. We'll talk to him about them

344
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: losing four in a row, but You can also get

345
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: much more on this story with our guy Derek Lewandowski,

346
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: who of course was talking torpedo bats all weekend long,

347
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 1: so check out what he put together this weekend, and

348
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: also his voicemail show is up there as well, So

349
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: Pinstripe Territory wherever you get your pods or your shows.

350
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: The beginning of the year is for Hope. I watched

351
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: more Marlins Pirates than I would if it was September

352
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 1: and they walk off Magic. I gotta say they were

353
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: entertaining games, But did this say more about the Marlins

354
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: camp or the Pirates, Because the Pirates to me, need

355
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: to get off to good starts to put them in

356
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: a good position they usually do. This is not what

357
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: you want. This is a team where you at least

358
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: have to win a series. And also, David Bannar in

359
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: the ninth inning does not look like he's going to

360
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: last long with that stuff.

361
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm definitely worried about David Bannor. But I'm

362
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 2: laughing because I too was watching way more Pirates than Marlins.

363
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: And I don't know why because I had all the

364
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 2: games going, but I kept going back to that series

365
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 2: because I was just curious one. I didn't know anybody

366
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 2: on the Marlins roster and stuff, for example, in which

367
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 2: that's it Derek Hill, my ex teammate.

368
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 4: I literally knew nobody.

369
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 2: Else, so I was just curious to see, Hey, who

370
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 2: are these new faces and what do they have?

371
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: They have some athletes.

372
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: They are in an athletic bunch, which I do like.

373
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: But when I look at the Pirates, I'm just so

374
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: dis pointing at what they.

375
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 4: Could have done.

376
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 2: Right when you look at O'Neil Cruz, Paul Skeens, you know,

377
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: bringing in fam but cutching.

378
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 4: Rentals, it's like they could have did more.

379
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: So it's just as I watched him, I just couldn't

380
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: help him just be disappointed. I know what the Marlins

381
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: are gonna do when you talk about roster construction, I

382
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: know how they're gonna cut corners, but you watch when

383
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 2: you talk about what could be the Pittsburgh Pirates in

384
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 2: that division in the central I just really feel like

385
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: they dropped the ball this season. And that's why you

386
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 2: have guys like Paul Skeens using his voice because he's

387
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: a guy that should because if Pirates fans are watching that,

388
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: they should be worried and they should be, you know,

389
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 2: really questioning do they want to spend money to go

390
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: see what's out there other than when Paul Skeene takes

391
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 2: the bump.

392
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: Oh man, if only they had added an offensive bat

393
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 3: that could have added one or two runs this series,

394
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 3: they could have swept the series. They could have put

395
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 3: the Marlins exactly where they need to be. Paul Skeins

396
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 3: put them in a spot. What if they shortened the

397
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 3: game at the end of the game with one extra

398
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 3: bullpen piece, like they went out and got Spencer Horowitz

399
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 3: whose wrist is still not healed up yet. He's a

400
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 3: good complimentary piece, not the piece. And to me, the

401
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 3: Marlins they're playing for Clayton McCullough. It's the will venable

402
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 3: Clayton McCullough. Which team loves their manager? Because both teams

403
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 3: are bringing apples in for the teachers so they can

404
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 3: get some playing time. Also, Nick Fortes, what a weekend.

405
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: Yes, ft, fam Legends never die. That is the motto

406
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: for Homage. Go to Homage dot com and get yourself

407
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: maybe one of these teas. This was one of my

408
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: favorites from spring training. Got a little Grapefruit League action,

409
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: nice iconic looking logo and behind me on the back

410
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: is all the teams that are listed for the Grapefruit League.

411
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: You've got. Of course, if you're more of an Arizona person,

412
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: you've got the tea for that too. But Kratz, I

413
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: just love the way that they give you the highest

414
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: quality material and then a little vintage action if you're

415
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: looking for it.

416
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 3: I love the vintage. I've been a baseball fan my

417
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: whole life, and teams changed their logos. If you're looking

418
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: for a logo that your team used to have, Homage

419
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 3: is your place to go. Go cop one of the

420
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 3: old logos from the Major league teams that maybe they

421
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 3: don't use anymore.

422
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Homage dot com slash foul Territory. Go to the

423
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,280

Speaker 1: first time purchaser on the website, go check it out.

426
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: Ftfam better than box scores. Let's get to two series

427
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: if we can three minutes each. Okay, let's start with

428
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. They get their World Series rings. Mookie Betts

429
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: was out for the first two games in Tokyo. He

430
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 1: lost close to twenty five pounds. No big deal. He's

431
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: got pop two home runs in what the second game

432
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: of the season, domestically for this team. Just a crazy

433
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: weekend for them. Cam in my mind, taking on a

434
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: good Tiger team, and nothing changed for me with Detroit.

435
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: I heard some people around baseball like, oh, it's the

436
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: Tigers offense is going to be good enough. I'm like,

437
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: they're taking on the Dodgers' pitching staff. Okay, and Rokie

438
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: we covered with Jim Jim Bowden, so if you want

439
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,479
Speaker 1: to check out our comments on that, then you can

440
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: go there. But what was your take on Mooki and

441
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: those flashy rings.

442
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 2: Well, the rings were sick. I think they're just trying

443
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: to figure out more designs. The years continue to accumulate

444
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 2: and they're going to run out of cool designs. But Mooki,

445
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: it was just so impressive. When you talk about a

446
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: guy who was, you know, at his maxweight one eighty,

447
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: at his max weight, soaking wet, and then you talk

448
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: about him losing twenty pounds. Listen, he clearly has the

449
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 2: weight distributed to his barrel in the right spot because

450
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 2: it did not affect any of his pop. Him back

451
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 2: in that lineup, they roll, they go the Dodgers continue

452
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: to be fun to watch. But I purposely wore my

453
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 2: Tigers year because I still believe if you watch that series,

454
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 2: they have a quality team, good.

455
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 4: Pitching, and they fight. I think they're gonna have a

456
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 4: fun year when it all is said and done.

457
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: Yeah to to homer, Scott. One was a game tie

458
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: or a go ahead homer, and then one was a

459
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 3: game winning homer. Like I mean, the only the Dodgers.

460
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 3: The Dodgers are a wagon, as Scott Coleman said earlier

461
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 3: earlier in the show, they are a wagon and they're

462
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 3: they're that way because they can pitch, they can hit.

463
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 3: But for the Tigers, man, you gotta feel good. You

464
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 3: went in there against a good pitching staff and you

465
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 3: battled them. You had the lead, you didn't hold it.

466
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 3: What was their strength going down to the end of

467
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 3: the season last year? Their bullpen, their bullpen came out

468
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 3: and created chaos, pitching chaos. It's okay if they gave

469
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: it up right now, it doesn't mean that they're all

470
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 3: just one hit wonders. You should be positive. You should

471
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 3: be really positive because they didn't add that extra offensive

472
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 3: piece in Bregman in you know, Pete Alans are not

473
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: saying that they were gonna but just the guys that

474
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 3: were out there, and they still came in two Dodgers

475
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 3: Stadium and still hit the ball very well, had great

476
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 3: at bats. So that's a positive for me.

477
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, very competitive series. And obviously it wasn't just the

478
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: Dodgers coming off the Tokyo Series high, the World Series high.

479
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean the place was packed because they're celebrating Bob

480
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: Knightingale gave us some more details on the bling, more

481
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: than two hundred diamonds on each ring. It not only

482
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 1: features the postseason results against the Padres, the Mets, and

483
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: the Yankees, but it has a row of five diamonds

484
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: on the interior representing the five run deficit the Dodgers

485
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: overcame in the fifth inning Game five over the Yankees

486
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: to win the World Series. As if Yankee fans didn't

487
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 1: hear it enough all off season long from buzzed players

488
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: talking about how the Yankees can't play defense, cam they

489
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: now have it etched in their rings forever.

490
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, And I blame this on social media.

491
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 2: I think with the back and forth that happened after

492
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 2: that World Series. Yeah, I think now too, social media

493
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 2: even the organization's social media's they'd get into it right

494
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 2: and then it's.

495
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 4: Like, you know what, how can we really rub this in?

496
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 2: And even more, let's add those five diamonds for that

497
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 2: five run deficit so they can really have something to

498
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 2: talk about and complain about.

499
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 4: I love the pettiness. It seems petty to me, and

500
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 4: I love every moment of it.

501
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 3: I think these rings, the stories behind rings. Obviously a

502
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 3: ring is ridiculous. They're gaudy. You know, it looks like

503
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 3: this on their finger. You can barely wear it when

504
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 3: you go out anywhere. I love the stories behind it.

505
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 3: Why do they have that many ring diamonds they have?

506
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 2: You know?

507
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: I think the Phillies one had you know on it.

508
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 3: They had the song that they were always dancing on

509
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 3: my own. They had that inscribed on the inside or

510
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 3: the side. Like there's things that create the championship, that

511
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 3: create the team to get to that point, and it's

512
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 3: celebrated forever and commemorated forever in those rings.

513
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 4: I love it.

514
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 3: I love seeing every explanation because they don't just go

515
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 3: you know, we're gonna.

516
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 4: Go gold because I think gold looks good.

517
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 3: I love the explanations of it.

518
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 4: Hey.

519
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: On the topic of money, this one snuck by because

520
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: it was the opening week of the season and it

521
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: was Friday news. Brandon Fought signed an extension with the

522
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks five years, forty five million bucks, and then there's

523
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: an option year that could be added on for twenty

524
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: one million dollars. So you eat up a little bit

525
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: of time here so that the arbitration doesn't get expensive,

526
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: and also get into free agency here with team control limited,

527
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: no trade clauses in there from twenty thirty to twenty

528
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: thirty two. That last mutual option at the end is

529
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: really to help the buyout, right if they end up

530
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: not getting to a point where he's still with the

531
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: team and you can buy him out. Nobody ever actually

532
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: agrees to mutual options. But anyway, Kratz thoughts on Brandon

533
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: Fought getting locked into this rotation long term. And you know,

534
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: we can spend a minute here on the Diamondbacks and

535
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: Cubs putting together a fun series. I mean, they split it.

536
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: It's good. Both teams said they're pros and cons.

537
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 3: Would you think, I mean, this Diamondbacks team is fun

538
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 3: just to watch, but to me, it looks like they're

539
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 3: fun to be on it looks like they have the

540
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 3: energy at the Latin end of the bench and it

541
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: spills over to the American end of the bench, and

542
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 3: rate in between are all the pitchers. All the pitchers

543
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 3: are out on If you watch any of their games,

544
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 3: a lot of their pictures are top step into the game,

545
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: really excited about being there.

546
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 2: I get it.

547
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 3: Zach Gollan probably isn't going to be around, but they

548
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 3: just got the best available starting pitcher on the free

549
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,719
Speaker 3: agent market this offseason. They have MVP candidates and ka

550
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 3: Tell Marte and Corbyn Carroll and you have purple hair

551
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 3: from Guriel. You sit there and you go, this team

552
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 3: wants to win, This team wants to play for each

553
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 3: other and the cities behind them. Why would I not

554
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 3: sign an extension that's going to guarantee me essentially fifty

555
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 3: million dollars with the one year of club option after that,

556
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 3: and then I'm thirty two years old. That to me,

557
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: that is where Brandon Fott did the right thing. And also,

558
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 3: two off seasons ago, not our two postseasons ago, they

559
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 3: were wondering if this guy was gonna even go three

560
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: innings for him. Ever since that Philly series, he has

561
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 3: just elevated himself and continued to learn and continue to improve.

562
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 3: Like it hasn't been that long ago that they were like,

563
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, we could send him down. They sent

564
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 3: him down for like a ten or fifteen game stretch

565
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 3: during that season and like to get forty five million

566
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 3: after a year and a half ago that was happening.

567
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: Hats off to him for signing this.

568
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, Cam, last thing here. I just want to

569
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: show you why we'll have the challenge system next year.

570
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: If we can just flash that of a critical moment

571
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: in the game that gave count leverage to the Cubs.

572
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: Perdomo was at the plate. This was the one to

573
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: zero pitch, right one, and he popped out next pitch, and.

574
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 2: He was and he was pissed off watching him. I

575
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 2: watched that at that too, just so happened. I was

576
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: going back and forth and I caught it and watching him,

577
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: he was so disgusted running off the field. Now, I've

578
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: been in those moments, and I know Cratzy. You know,

579
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: he's behind the plate, so he's he's always very cordial

580
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: with the guys that are calling the games. But those moments, man,

581
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: you know, even this early in the season, they mean

582
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: so much, right and they and it's so big even

583
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: from a momentum, a selfish momentum, standpoint right, you want

584
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 2: to have the opportunity to you know, pick your team

585
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 2: up to come through. So to see that happen. I'm

586
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 2: with you, Scott. I was at home, Scott Scotty going

587
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 2: like this. I was tapping my own head, like what

588
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: are we doing? We need a challenge there. But you know,

589
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: I know a lot of managers like Aaron Boone.

590
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 4: Some guys didn't feel it. Tito didn't like it.

591
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 2: But I just think too many important moments happened where

592
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 2: we have to be able to get it right and

593
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 2: that's egregious.

594
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was doing this. It was texting my friends.

595
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: I was like, this is bs. I can't wait for

596
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: challenge just the next year.

597
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 4: Oh true.

598
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: I was at home like, you're right, that is the

599
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: right motion and it's coming. Someone's gonna get tossed for that,

600
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: but anyway, it was good series. Danzey Swanson also, if

601
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: you missed it, made a sick play to end that

602
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: game as he caught pinch runner Garrett Sampson with a

603
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: little deck got him back at thirty. He didn't have

604
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: a play anywhere else, So it was really fun. I

605
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: watched a good chunk of that series.

606
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 2: Shout out Ron Thompson too, Pinch Pitcher gotten that bat.

607
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 4: It was in college. Ron Nelson, Ron Nelson.

608
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 2: Last time he hit was in what I think twenty

609
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: eighteen as a short stop in college. So hey, he

610
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 2: was ready for the boys too. So shout out shout

Speaker 1: with Max schurz Er right thumb inflammation. I mean, he

617
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: used the word I think danger when he was talking

618
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: about how he was dealing with this, and he hits

619
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,760

621
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: that affects everything. Obviously you need that to pitch. But

622
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: in terms of the recovery timetable, what I do know

623
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: is that Max Scherzer has gone through a ton of

624
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: injury issues over the last several years. This is just

625
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: not what you want to see at the start of

626
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: the season.

627
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: Right here, right here's your right thumb on a fastball.

628
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 3: Now you move it around a little bit, you get

629
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 3: a little different movement how that ball comes out. Now

630
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 3: you move your curveball, maybe you tuck it in a

631
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 3: little bit. Maybe some guy's going to really grip it

632
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 3: a lot harder if he throws that change up farther in.

633
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: Your thumb is like a rudder in a boat. If

634
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 3: your thumb is hurting, you don't know the direction of

635
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 3: where it's going.

636
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 4: And Max.

637
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 3: Max's explanation is reasoning for saying it was dangerous because

638
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 3: now if you're not able to manipulate the ball where

639
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 3: you want to just with your fingers and your hand,

640
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 3: this start to take This starts to take over. That

641
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 3: starts to take over. And that's what he was talking

642
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 3: about dangerous. I want to trust him. I want to

643
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 3: trust every veteran that they know what they need to

644
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: do to get their body right. I also want to say,

645
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: probably wasn't going to make thirty two starts this year.

646
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 3: This is much better. And the training staff in Toronto

647
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 3: vun Chung Jose Ministral epic awesome dudes. They have all

648
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 3: the state of the art recovery stuff. If it's possible

649
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 3: to get him back quick, that's the place to do it.

650
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: Okay, you know the difference, Cam is this isn't a

651
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: team that's going to be in cruise control. There aren't

652
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: many that can do this. But the Blue Jays need

653
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: starts from him now. They need to stay in the

654
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: race all year long. They're not going to run away

655
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: with anything, forget it vision, even a playoff spot. They

656
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: were not a good team last year. They have a

657
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: chance to be a better team this year. They split

658
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: a series against a pretty good Orioles team, so off

659
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: to a nice start. I loved Jeff Hoffman shoving it

660
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: to the Orioles on the last game of the series

661
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: lit one two three when he was on our show

662
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: a month ago, say he likes the smoke where the

663
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: Orioles rejected him because of medical concern So that's all cool, right,

664
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: there's some vibes to this team, Anthony Santander going from

665
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: the Oriols to the Blue Jays. But do you feel

666
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: like they need things to go right at the margins

667
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: and that includes getting I don't know, twenty starts out

668
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: of Max Scherzer.

669
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,959
Speaker 2: You know, when they made his deal, I was kind

670
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: of sharing the thought, the same thought with Cratzy. I

671
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: didn't think this was a deal to personally put them

672
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: over the top, right. I thought this was a great

673
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 2: move to get maybe twenty starts. I don't think they

674
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: were necessarily banking on it. At the end of the day,

675
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: Father Time is undefeated, and I.

676
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 4: Know this is a thumb issue. Is not an Elboys shoulder.

677
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: But I think more so than even just putting on

678
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: the onus on Max listen, Jose Burrios has to pitch better.

679
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 4: He did not pitch good. My brother, George Springer, you know,

680
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 4: has to kind of, you know, find some of that old.

681
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 2: Astros George Springer. You know, they need that offensive guy.

682
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 2: You know, he showed that he still can go get

683
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 2: in the outfield. The athleticism is still there, but offensively

684
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: they need him to be back. They need Boba Schette

685
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 2: to be back. I think the pitching, I think they

686
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 2: have enough in the pitching department, but I think it's

687
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: gotta line up right.

688
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 4: They've got to do things that they hadn't done in

689
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 4: the past.

690
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 2: Hit with the runners in scoring position, you know, to

691
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 2: our RBIs they did not excel in these areas. So

692
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: for me, even more so than the pitching Scottie, I

693
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 2: think they need to get some of that offense back

694
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: to really give the pitching staff some confidence where they

695
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 2: don't have to go out and be so perfect. So

696
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 2: I do think this is a good star splitting that

697
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 2: series with the Orioles. I think that's a great place

698
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: to start up. But I think there's some other guys

699
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 2: that I think they need to worry about instead of

700
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: a you know, forty year old Max Shorer Suresier.

701
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: Okay, and then on the oriol side, they just lost

702
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 1: Colton Kowser for potentially a couple months. Again, the thumb

703
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: is the problem in the case here fractured is left thumb,

704
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: so he's placed on the il. Dylan Carlson is in

705
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: the miners. Now he gets called up krats. That's a

706
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: tough blow for Baltimore. They've got depth. I'm not super

707
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: concerned about their lineup, but it still sucks to lose

708
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: a guy who's an above average hitter with a ton

709
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: of potential.

710
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 3: I mean, look at Michael Lias now, he's saying, see,

711
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 3: we have so much depth. We needed all of those outfielders.

712
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 3: We needed to go get Ramon Leriano. We didn't need

713
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 3: to go get a frontline starter. Hey, you know what's

714
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 3: being tested, Colton Cowser.

715
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 4: It just sucks.

716
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 3: It sucks because you put yourself, especially this early, a

717
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 3: fractured thumb. You put yourself in a situation all off season. Ah,

718
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,959
Speaker 3: you know my flexibility and my strength and that flexibility,

719
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 3: everything's hitting on all cylinders and you're like, okay, that

720
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 3: first series on the turf, I'm gonna make sure everything's hydrated,

721
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,439
Speaker 3: everything's going well. And then you fracture your thumb. Ain't

722
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 3: nothing you can do about. You lift every weight in

723
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 3: the world, you can go to every yoga studio in

724
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 3: the world, and fracturing your thumb ain't gonna have nothing

725
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 3: to do with it. But hopefully Dylan Carlson's ready. He

726
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 3: might have gotten like one at bat, two at bats

727
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 3: down in Norfolk.

728
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 4: No, he's ready.

729
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 2: You know, he's looking at chops. You know, you know,

730
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 2: I got no cratzy in our head. We're all ready

731
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: to get out of Triple A. So I think I

732
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,439
Speaker 2: think it's what you said, ain't done a good job

733
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: of having prospects now dealing cross.

734
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 4: Is going to get his opportunity right. We're gonna continue

735
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 4: to see if this was.

736
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 2: The route to go right, stack to keep the prospects around,

737
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 2: give them opportunity, because moments like this happened, guys get

738
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 2: banged up.

739
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 4: That's why you always hear every single year.

740
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 2: It takes the whole entire forty man roster and at

741
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 2: times from front office moves as well.

742
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 4: So it's a long year.

743
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 2: Like you said, I hate to see this because Cowser

744
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 2: was really starting to look like he was figuring it

745
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 2: out right. He was really looking like that guy that's

746
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 2: going to give you a party at bat. Pretty good defender.

747
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: I really like where he's I love his size, I

748
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:10,479
Speaker 2: love everything that he brought.

749
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 4: So it is a blow. But again, this is why

750
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 4: they stacked their organization with a bunch of prospects.

751
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 2: They didn't get rid of them, to give them opportunity,

752
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: just to continue to save money and see what these

753
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 2: young guys have and also to possibly showcase him right

754
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 2: because we still don't know. This is also a showcase

755
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: moment for Dylan Carlson m M.

756
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: And if it doesn't work out for him, Kobe Mayo.

757
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: Right now, Kratz is like yo I can play in

758
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: the outfield. I mean, if he goes and tears it

759
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: up in the minors for a couple of weeks, he'll

760
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: get his opportunity again. When you've got an injury like

761
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:42,839
Speaker 1: this and this isn't the day to day like we mentioned,

762
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: I mean, this could be a couple months for Kawser. Okay,

763
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: next up. This one sucks because this player has really

764
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: had trouble staying on the field. Josh Young hits the

765
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 1: shelf for the Rangers and they had to make a

766
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: move too because Josh Smith got banged up. That's that's

767
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: next in line to fill his spot. Next spasms for

768
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: Josh Young. It's expected to be the minimum time. This

769
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: from our friend Gared Sandler does a great job with

770
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: all the Rangers coverage, but cam Josh Young has not

771
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: been able to stay healthy, which is a shame. Texas

772
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: obviously missed him last year among other players. But he

773
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: was really really good a couple of years ago.

774
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he came on the scene. You know, I think

775
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 2: he was a little older as a rookie, but he

776
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: showed that he was experiencing. We watched him in the

777
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 2: playoffs come up clutch. So to see this blow to

778
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 2: see the history of injury that the Rangers have had.

779
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 2: This is a team that you just want to see

780
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 2: healthy because when they're healthy, they can compete. They can

781
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: do everything on the field. And not to mention, not

782
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: only was he, you know, outstanding offensively, he was one

783
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 2: of the better gloves at third base.

784
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 4: He I mean that left side of that defense was

785
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 4: locked up.

786
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 2: When we talk about Seeger and Young Jong at third base,

787
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: I mean that also is an area where they hurt

788
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 2: when they lose his defense.

789
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 4: So I hate to hear this for this guy.

790
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 2: And you just hope at some point he can get

791
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 2: things to go his way because next spasms, anything, neck, back,

792
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 2: you just you always worry about.

793
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: Like you said on Friday, hurt my neck in my back.

794
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 3: Now I'm going on the Now I'm going to ten day.

795
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 3: I l I don't know, man, I ain't never hurt

796
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 3: my net. That would suck. I don't know what that

797
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 3: feels like. But yeah, listen, this team's offense is stacked

798
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 3: when you have Josh Smith being able to fill in

799
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 3: get it. He's hurt like this is why this team

800
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 3: I think is one of the consensus picks, maybe the

801
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 3: only consensus pick to win a division on FT here,

802
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 3: I think everybody had the Rangers because I think just

803
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 3: what the offense can do, and obviously Bruce Bochi can

804
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 3: just wins, that's what he does every other year.

805
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, this division's gonna be pretty good, you know. I

806
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: mean the Angels bounce back, they took a couple of

807
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 1: games from the White Sox. Will they improve by several

808
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: games most likely? Right, which hurts the top and how

809
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: you can pad your stats. Then let's go to the

810
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: They should be better. They split a series this weekend

811
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: with the Mariners and that's in Seattle. They should be better.

812
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: Cam The Mariners probably will be about the same because

813
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: they always plan to be about fifty four percent with

814
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: their win percentage, so they should be very solid and competitive.

815
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: And then Houston is definitely still gonna be good too.

816
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: So I do think, yes, the Rangers are gonna win

817
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: the division. But this is a pretty good division from

818
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: one through four, probably now with a chance to make

819
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and probably one through three with a chance

820
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: to make the division to win the division.

821
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like watching this division because you have everything

822
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,239
Speaker 3: from the A's as a startup, like you don't know

823
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 3: what you're gonna get you have. The Astros is like

824
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 3: the Dynasty team, kind of on the way out, But

825
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 3: are they still gonna be good Mariners? Elite pitching. The

826
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 3: Rangers offense is just besides last year they couldn't hit

827
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 3: a heater. I think a Doli's garcia is gonna be ridiculous.

828
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 3: So this offense is awesome to watch. And the Angels,

829
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 3: I mean, they have Mike Trout, so I'm like, I

830
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 3: love the fact that these games are shorter so I

831
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 3: can stay up and not not go to bed at

832
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 3: one in the morning and watch all these West Coast games.

833
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to add on to that too. One

834
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 4: sneaky move and.

835
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 2: They talk about this division being extremely competitive, one move

836
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 2: I really enjoyed. And I think this team, and there's

837
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 2: still a couple pieces of way, may be one more

838
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 2: position player. But I'm gonna tell you one thing that's

839
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 2: gonna go unnoticed and there's no stat for it. The

840
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: intensity that Luis Severino brings to the Oakland A's. I

841
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 2: think Mark Kottsee, for one, is going to love it.

842
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: I love the moves that they made to.

843
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 4: Lock up Rooker and lock up b Low.

844
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 2: I really think that the A's was missing a little

845
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 2: bit of that intensity, Like it was fun to watch

846
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 2: Luis Severino out there fired up and watch those guys

847
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 2: kind of rally behind them. So when you talk about

848
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 2: that team as well, I think they're gonna be more

849
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 2: fun to watch and people actually realize they were fun

850
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 2: to watch last year.

851
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 4: If you watch A's baseball.

852
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 2: Because extremely competitive, fall hard to the end. But I

853
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 2: love what Luis san Reno has brought to that team.

854
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 2: It's a fire where you almost wish you could be

855
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 2: on the field every day.

856
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: Let's slap cratsats you're up first.

857
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,399
Speaker 3: I mean you have to at least wear it once.

858
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 3: The Big A the Braves hopefully they're hopefully they're going

859
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 3: to continue their ways and get blown out by the

860
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 3: Dodgers tonight.

861
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 1: The Big A is the Angels.

862
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but now it's the Big A. That's that's

863
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 3: at the Big A.

864
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: That's right. The Big as the Braves when they're in

865
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: the battery. But they're not there for a few more games,

866
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: So good luck.

867
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 3: To wait to get home.

868
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 4: Question of the day, how will they feel to return

869
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 4: home one in six? Oh?

870
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that would be positive, that would be positive.

871
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely.

872
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: Next question is going to be Braves fans mad about

873
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: how the schedule makers gave them the Padres and Dodgers

874
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: on the road to start the year. But come on,

875
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: they'll be okay, they'll be okay. Deep breaths. Anyway, later
