1 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: USA Today insider FT insider Bob Nightingale joining us right now. 2 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 2: Well, Bob, happy Opening Day to you. 3 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: And what did you think of the opening night festivities 4 00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: between the Yankees and the Giants. 5 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 3: It was cool having the taxi cabs outside of the 6 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 3: Yankee dugout, having the street car outside of the Giants. 7 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 3: So yeah, great pomp and circumstance. And you know the 8 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,040 Speaker 3: game it starts about a half hour after is supposed 9 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 3: to be. But yeah, it was fine. The past game. 10 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 3: I think it lasts about two five or so. 11 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 2: That's true. 12 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: Yes, it was fast and not the best work of 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: course from Logan Web, but I don't think anybody is concerned. 14 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 2: Do you have any concern about the Giants as a 15 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 2: whole in their offense. 16 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked about how they did some things 17 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: this offseason, not a lot, not the heavy hitters. They've 18 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: done some heavy hitters like adamis En Devers acquisitions in 19 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: the last year, but it was more like a Rise 20 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 1: Baier type moves. And I think everyone was waiting for 21 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: a big pitcher. So what did you think of their 22 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: offseason now leading into an overreaction loss on Day one? 23 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 3: That was an okay off season, and they, you know, 24 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 3: keep saying, well, we would have been signed Devers. To 25 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 3: trade for Devers in the off season, then people say 26 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 3: a great off season. So hey, Devers has got to 27 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 3: be the Devers of Boston or you know, they're gonna 28 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 3: have a long year. And Domas has got to be 29 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 3: the Domins of Milwaukee. You know, we saw that Spurs 30 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 3: last year, but wasn't the same guy. So uh, you know, 31 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 3: the big guys have got to produce. I love the 32 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 3: Arise uh you know, I mean hear he draws a 33 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 3: four pitch walk, you know, lead off the Giants half 34 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 3: in the first inning and then gets the base hit 35 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 3: later on. I think a Rise was a great signing. 36 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 3: I think he's going to help them a lot, and 37 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 3: I think Ron Washington will help him as well playing 38 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 3: second base. 39 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 4: Bob, Why is everyone worried about Aaron Judge? I mean, 40 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 4: he had one bad game. He's gonna be fine. I'll 41 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 4: probably win another MVP. There was one game Logan Web. 42 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 4: You know, they kept talking about the shadows, the shadows, 43 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 4: the shadows. Everyone has bad games, right just I guess 44 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 4: it's Opening Day, so it's overreaction. Tuesday, whatever date? 45 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 5: What is today? 46 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 4: Thursday overreaction, so I get confused on what day Opening 47 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 4: day is now? 48 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: Absolutely talk to uh, you know both guys after the game, 49 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 3: you know, Aaron in the in the clubhouse and Logan 50 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: at the team hotel later on and uh, but yeah, 51 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: I mean those things happened. Logan couple said a couple 52 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: of times to man Man, Sorry, it's stunt tonight, as 53 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 3: Logan one start, who cares? Same thing? You know, Aaron, Judge, 54 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 3: if you're gonna have a forest rackout game and you 55 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 3: win seven zero, you'll take it, you know, all that long. 56 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 3: That's a reflection of how deep the Yankee lineup is 57 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 3: in the sense that he can have a game like 58 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 3: that and then on blank. Uh you know that, you know, 59 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 3: everybody in that lineup, you know except for Judge got 60 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 3: a hit. Uh, Everybody but Judge either drove in a 61 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 3: run or score to run. And that's how you win 62 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 3: a lot of ball games. 63 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 6: Should this game continue, I'm not saying contracts from Netflix 64 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 6: or PlayStation or the Switch, whatever the contract's going to be. 65 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 6: I'm saying a Marquee game, and does it have to 66 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 6: be at a Marquee stadium? Does it have to be historic? 67 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 6: As they kept saying all night historic franchises, because if 68 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 6: that's the case, then it's just another example of the 69 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 6: rich getting richer. 70 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 3: I think you should go to whoeber wins the World Series, 71 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: you know, like the NFL, Hey, you win the Super Bowl, 72 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 3: you know you're going to be playing in the first 73 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: game of the NFL season. I think same thing here. 74 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: I mean used to be. You know, I ust to 75 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 3: love Cincinnati having the first game the day games before 76 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 3: everybody else. But I think whoever wins the World Series 77 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 3: deserves to have play that game either, you know, doesn't 78 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 3: matter where it's going to be, what ballpark, but it 79 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 3: should be that featured that team. That'd be. My only 80 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 3: thing is like you don't always have to have Marquis 81 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 3: franchises and the champion. 82 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 4: It used to be like that because I remember we won. 83 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 4: We were on the next year two thousand and six, 84 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 4: we were on Sunday night on ESPN. We smash smashed 85 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 4: the Indians and I was like sixteen to nothing, and 86 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 4: then we got the day game off the next the 87 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 4: day off the next day. 88 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 5: It was great. 89 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 4: But yeah, I agree, I think it should be if 90 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 4: you want to, it should be the Dodgers, right playing 91 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 4: and then if you want to do a marquee game, 92 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 4: then make the Dodgers play. 93 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 5: If you want to do the Giants, if you want 94 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 5: to do. 95 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 4: The whoever, whoever the Mats, or whoever, I mean, whoever 96 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 4: you want, whoever you. 97 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 5: Think is the market. 98 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 4: I agree, Bob with you. It should be the team 99 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 4: that won the World Series. They're trying to make like 100 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 4: the NFL anyway, so let's do it. And then the 101 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 4: other thing for me is I couldn't believe when they 102 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 4: said that was only the sixth time since what's it 103 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 4: called Team O PNC pack Belly, What's what's the stadium. 104 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 5: Called in San Francisco now a park? 105 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: It's only the. 106 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 4: Sixth, only the sixth time they've had opened their opener 107 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 4: in that park. That seems absurd to me because it's 108 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 4: it's in the West Coast. It's usually I mean, the 109 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 4: weather doesn't change, actually gets worse as the year goes on. 110 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 5: You would think the Giants would open a home a lot. 111 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 3: You know, they used to volunteer. They wanted to start 112 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 3: every year on the road. I'm not sure why, and 113 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 3: that was always a request in Major League Baseball. Can 114 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: we start to seize on the road so that that 115 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 3: was their own doing. And hey, it works out well 116 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 3: for the Yankees. You know, now they get to spend 117 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: today at wine Country. A bunch of guys are going 118 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 3: to Napa, guys are going to Sonoma. So pretty cool 119 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: for them having a day off and enjoy the wine 120 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 3: country up there. 121 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 6: That's the biggest smile we've seen on this on the 122 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 6: show by you Bob talking about a day off going 123 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 6: to wine country. I love it. 124 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 5: Okay, I'm in La now, so I'm not with them. 125 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 5: All right, Well, then let's talk about La. 126 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 6: Let's talk about the Dodgers and how they're ruining baseball, 127 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 6: and yet you wrote an article about how there's some 128 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 6: teams that are pretty close payroll wise, but they don't 129 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 6: get blamed for ruining baseball. 130 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean that the Mets payrolls gave about fifty 131 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 3: million dollars more than the Dodgers last five years, and 132 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 3: Mets have spent more than the Dodgers. But yeah, teams 133 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 3: are right there. You know, the Yankees are right there, 134 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 3: the Phillies are there. Uh, you know, Atlanta's get up there. 135 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean there's too many teams that are closed. So, 136 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: like I said, the Mets. You know, are people scream 137 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 3: at the Mets because their payrolls about forty million dollars 138 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 3: more than Dodgers. They're not, so you know, hey, let's 139 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 3: let's be honest. And the Dodgers geld lost two years ago, 140 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: the Podreys, they could, they should lost the Phillies last 141 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 3: in the first round. Definitely should lost the World Series. 142 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 3: Things happen, and uh, you know, we'll see. I mean, 143 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 3: there would be no compeation in the regular season because 144 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 3: the Dodgers probably win, you know, ninety six wins. It 145 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 3: just kind of coach the playoffs. And then people will 146 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 3: get upset because all those guys would be healthy come 147 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 3: playoff time, whether it all banged up. Right now, Hey, with. 148 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: Sea keek, we're looking ahead that game. So let's look 149 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 1: at the weekend. Let's start with Friday. What else do 150 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: we have. 151 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 2: Cam Schlitzler is making his season debut. 152 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: We'll see if Luis Severino is the usual dude on 153 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: the road versus at home. Kevin Gossman pitching in that 154 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: game for Toronto. Chris Sale will pitch for Atlanta. Sandy 155 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: al Contra on the mound for the Marlins against the Rockies. 156 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: Atlanta by the way, is playing the the Royals on 157 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: the weekend here that includes what's your game? 158 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: Do you know who's pitching? 159 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 3: Oh? 160 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 2: No, they've started to lay them out. 161 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 6: Matchups are good. The matchups are good because it's all 162 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 6: the best starting pitchers going against each other. But like 163 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 6: the team matchups Pirates, Mets, not a lot of fight in, 164 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 6: you know, not like, oh, you know, we're really banging 165 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 6: heads here, Twins Orioles, White Sox, Brewers. It just feels 166 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 6: like I wanted to look down the list and go, man, 167 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 6: I'm seeing all these all these number ones on the mound, 168 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 6: and I'm like, Red Sox, Reds like what Rangers feel. 169 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 6: They have a long history of what opening days like. 170 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 6: It just feels like a weird, weird mishmash of teams. 171 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 2: I agree, some make sense, some don't. 172 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: By the way, AJ's game on Saturday is Waka against 173 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: Ronaldo Lopez. 174 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 5: Yeah it'd be good. Yeah, two good good names, Walka 175 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 5: and Naldo's teammate Ronaldo. Yeah, Villa was. 176 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: He didn't really pitch last year. 177 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 4: No, but they said as Villa was down the spring, 178 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 4: so we'll see. We'll find out together. But who can't 179 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 4: wait to go to the Atlanta. It's gonna be fun 180 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 4: see Vinnie, see Jack, see a bunch of the Royals, 181 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 4: and then see a bunch of braised people that I 182 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 4: know from from a long time ago. 183 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: Code for you if you want to go to any 184 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: of those games that we're talking about, Territory one zero 185 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: ten percent off tickets at Sea Geek, and you can 186 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: make sure you click the link in the description of 187 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: this episode to download the app and have the code 188 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: automatically added to your account so that you can use 189 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: it later.

Hey, Bob, some little news and notes from today. 193 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: I'll just throw them both at you to get both answers. 194 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: What did you think of the Brewers losing Jackson Churio 195 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: and how that injury started actually with an exhibition game 196 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: back in the World Baseball Classic, and then also the 197 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: Tommy fam signing, which we didn't get to yet on 198 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: our show, but a minor league contract with the Mets. 199 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, Tommy Fam. He was actually texting when I was 200 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 3: on the plane this morning from San Francisco, to La, 201 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 3: got there close, and it got the deal done. He 202 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 3: had been very very's fresh grade all winter and spring, like, 203 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 3: my god, I can't get a job here. And some 204 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 3: teams you know, lied to him, say we're staying within, 205 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 3: and then they went and went got someone from the outside. 206 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 3: So he gets a two point twenty five million if 207 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 3: he makes it, makes a team. He does have an 208 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 3: opt out on April twenty fifth, so he doesn't have 209 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 3: to be the miners long for the mess to make 210 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 3: a decision. I think it's a good fit for FAM. 211 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 3: I think it's a good fit for the Matt's too. 212 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 3: Uh Yeah, bad break Injurio. Just strange that that happened 213 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 3: in March fourth is only being diingosed now. You know 214 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 3: he didn't look that good in the WBC just okay, 215 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 3: Uh you know he was about a ninth throughout the tournament. 216 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 3: Uh but yeah, you know, bad timing for the Brewers 217 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 3: to you know, find out now. So if I won't 218 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: see him until you know, mid late April. Uh, just 219 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 3: a smaller airline fracture, but still the thing should have 220 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 3: been diagnosed a long time ago. 221 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 6: Is there another move obviously, Tommy Famm is you know 222 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 6: a late addition to the start of the season, and 223 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 6: we'll see if he gets called up. Is there another 224 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 6: move that you suspect happening? Obviously the name Lucas Giolito 225 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 6: comes comes to mind. But is there another team besides 226 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 6: the Braves, because everyone's linking him to the Braves. 227 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean if Atlanta wanted to sign him, they 228 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 3: would have signed him by now. Obviously they think he's 229 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 3: asking for too much money and they don't think you 230 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 3: can help right now, that trouble with Giolito is a 231 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 3: little bit like when Gallon sounded Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks went 232 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 3: through that thing already, where hey, if a guy misses 233 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 3: a good chunk of spring trail, like Jordan Montgomery, did 234 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 3: you know he's gonna struggle during the year. I think 235 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 3: Giledo's going through that right now. Teams see the research 236 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 3: like equal be position player in need maybe just four 237 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 3: or five days of spring to be fine. You can't 238 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 3: do that as a pitcher. So I think a lot 239 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 3: of teams are saying, yeah, I like to have Gilito, 240 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 3: but what am I really getting And how long will 241 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 3: it take for Henry right? I mean, that's that's a 242 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 3: long time for a pitcher, and I think that hurts 243 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 3: his value. 244 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 4: But can't he just sign and then go through it? 245 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 4: Doesn't it seem like you? I mean, and then maybe 246 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 4: he might have to take less. What's he gonna do? 247 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 4: Sit out a year and then sign, try to sign 248 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 4: next year, go pitch an independent ball ball. 249 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 5: He doesn't. 250 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 4: He's too good of a picture for someone not to 251 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 4: have signed him, and for him to have never lowered 252 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 4: his standards or what he signed for. 253 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 5: It doesn't make sense. 254 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean sometimes he's got lower as a demand. 255 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 3: I mean, it wasn't like I had a draft pick conversation. Uh, 256 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 3: you know, everybody knows his track work everything else. I 257 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 3: don't know what he's asking for, but obviously it's more 258 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 3: than anybody wants to give him or he would been 259 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 3: to sign you know, a long time ago. Uh you know, 260 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 3: maybe he's waiting for some other team to have key 261 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 3: injury besides Atlanta. But you know, how long is it 262 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 3: going to take for him to be ready? Uh? You 263 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 3: know mid May, late May, and you know, what are 264 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 3: you gonna get? That's a lot of time missed for him, Bob. 265 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: What about overall storylines for you heading into this season? 266 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: Like pick out one or two that you're really curious 267 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: to watch, whether it's a team, a player A rule 268 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: of course, the obvious ABS challenge system is out there, 269 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: which began last night. 270 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 3: I'm so fascinated by Detroit. I love the fact they 271 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 3: signed Framer Belt as uh and you know now that 272 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 3: you have the the two races. I mean he got 273 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 3: flaring number three Berlin and number four. Love to see 274 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 3: Berlin or have such a great season where it, you know, 275 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 3: thinks about coming back. He still has that three hundred 276 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 3: in his mind. He should have won more games last year. 277 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 3: Just a bad break. I think that's two giants in 278 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 3: the America League. I mean, obviously we got the Al East, 279 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 3: but just with Chiel and Detroit. And he's almost a 280 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 3: Quinn flit between those two in two Juggernauts, and of 281 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 3: course the nationally like, okay, who's going to knock off 282 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 3: the Dodgers. I still think people don't talk enough about 283 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 3: the Phillies. I still think the Phillies have another run 284 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 3: left in him. I pick Bryce Harper to win the MVP. 285 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: I think he's going to come in with a chip 286 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: on his shoulder and show people that you know what 287 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 3: you know. I haven't been considering a top ten player 288 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 3: now for a few years. And the MVP belting and stuff. 289 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 3: Let me show me what I can still do. 290 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 5: Talk about awards. 291 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 6: What about the Rookie of the Year, because there's a 292 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 6: lot of Connor Griffin isn't up, so people wanted to 293 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 6: pick him as Rookie of the Year. But then you 294 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 6: have Kevin McGonagall, then you have some guys coming over 295 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 6: from Japan. 296 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 5: Where do you feel like the Rookie of the Year race? 297 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 6: Where do you feel like it goes through here going 298 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,079 Speaker 6: on Opening Day? 299 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: Well, certain America that I think McGonagall as long as 300 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 3: Detroit wins. I mean, if you can have a good, 301 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 3: solid year and your team, you know, wins the UH Division, 302 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 3: that really, you know, gives you a lot of extra 303 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 3: credit points and you should have an advantage over someone 304 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 3: might have better stats, but whose team doesn't make the playoffs. 305 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 3: And then nationally, I think, you know, Nolan McLean's got 306 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 3: a huge advantage just because uh, you know, he's already 307 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 3: got eight starts in the big leagues. Uh if you 308 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 3: just fell short of rookie status, so, uh, he knows 309 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 3: how to pitch a tough guy. I think He's a 310 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 3: clear cut favorite in the nationally to be that guy. 311 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 3: Uh You, We'll see about somebody else, but I like 312 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 3: McLean a lot. Uh So, just just to have that 313 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 3: advantage aboard of being a rookie. It's almost like, you know, 314 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 3: rookie two point zero. 315 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: We're a live show. 316 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: So I'll throw a team your way because it's the 317 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: first game of the day, and we had O'Neil Cruz 318 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: with a little knock in the center field. He sets 319 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: the ta able for Brandon Loud New Pittsburgh Pirates to 320 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: hit a two run home run off of Freddie Peraltez. 321 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: Opening days underway in Queens. But I'll do the big 322 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: picture question. Do you think that the Pirates have done 323 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: enough to put themselves in the playoff mix. I'm not 324 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: even gonna say make the playoffs, but like we're going 325 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: to talk about the Pirates in September and be like 326 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: they're within two three games, they have a shot. And 327 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: you've seen them now in spring training. You've seen, of 328 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: course that Connor Griffin's not starting the year with the team. 329 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: But where are we at with the Pirates? 330 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 3: I think if they finished five hundred, it's a great 331 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 3: year for him. I used to think that instead of 332 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: being a contenders, dat's about disrespectability. And they spent some money, 333 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 3: they still just spend more money. 334 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: I mean. 335 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 3: The bottom line is this is, you know, one of 336 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 3: the most profitable teams in all of baseball, and you've 337 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 3: got to take advantage of schemes and in these you know, 338 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 3: young pitchers. I do like the fact they got some offense, 339 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 3: but you still in that division, you still got to 340 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 3: go through the Cubs and the Brewers. The Reds are 341 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 3: a bitter team. So no matter what to Pirates do, 342 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 3: it is still hard. You know, for see that these 343 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 3: guys a going to finish higher than third place, if not, 344 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 3: you know, if not fourth place. I just think Brewers 345 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 3: and Cubs the Reds are just you know, better teams 346 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 3: than they are. 347 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 6: All right, there are so many new managers. Which of 348 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 6: the new managers has the best record at the end 349 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 6: of the season. I wasn't gonna say playoffs, just which 350 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 6: of the new managers teams has the best record at 351 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 6: the end of the season. 352 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 3: I'll go Baltimore. I just think it's a Goldman. I 353 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 3: don't think that got Red Band high. I think Van 354 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 3: Hyde should have got a job for what he did 355 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 3: bringing that team from nothing and you know, one one 356 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 3: hundred games a couple of years ago. So I think 357 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: that team bounces back no matter who is going to 358 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 3: be the manager. So I'll go Baltimore. I think they 359 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 3: knocking their worth for the playoffs, should make the playoffs. 360 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 3: They wish they got that one more big started. They 361 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 3: never got that guy. But it's still a much better 362 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 3: team that showed a year ago, and I think they 363 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 3: bounced back, So I'll go ball More Bob. 364 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 2: Last one for you. 365 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: Did you hear the Barry Bond story last night about 366 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: George Steinberner And what was your reaction to that? 367 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 2: You have anything to it? 368 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I've heard a story. I know his agent, well, 369 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 3: uh ag knows versus White Sox and is Gilbert. Remember 370 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 3: now Starnberger was suspended at that time. He wasn't even 371 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 3: in the picture. Bonds. Uh you know that time. I 372 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 3: don't care if you want to play for New York 373 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 3: or not. You've got to pretend like you want to 374 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 3: play for the Yankees just to get that bending up. 375 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 3: And you know he wanted the bending up for San Francisco, 376 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 3: So that never would have happen if it was going 377 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 3: to happen to hang up the phone. Fine, you know 378 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 3: that the agent in this case, Denis Gilbert, would be called, hey, 379 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 3: sorry about that. I think is uh his phone got 380 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 3: cut off. He's sutainly gonna. I've got ties with you. 381 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 3: But you're not going to cut ties with the Yankees 382 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 3: and George Starnberg. You know, no matter if you had 383 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 3: any interest in going to the Yankees, you won the 384 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 3: Yankees being involved, you were not going to upset Starnberger, 385 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 3: and Starnberger was a spending at that time. 386 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: Well, Barry put on a good show last night. He 387 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: was telling some good stories, so I enjoyed it. 388 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 2: Bob, Thank you, Happy Opening Day to you. 389 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 3: All right, my pleasure.

Finishing up on the opening broadcast, 410 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: what did you think of that story from Barry with 411 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: stein Berner. 412 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd love to know how I mean, I think 413 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 5: Bob said, is it? I mean, I'm. 414 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 4: Assuming it's true, But it was one of those like, 415 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 4: I mean, does he really hang up on George Steinbrener? 416 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 4: But he ended up where he wanted it up San Francisco. 417 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 4: So good for Barry. Listen, Barry. The better story for 418 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 4: me was when Barry told the real story when he 419 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 4: said I wasn't a great teammate off the field, but 420 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 4: on the field he was, and that is true. There 421 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 4: was no better teammate to have in the batter's box 422 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 4: than Barry Bonds. So listen, I got along with Barry. 423 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 4: I like Barry. He didn't bother me because he would 424 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 4: dish it out and I would give it back to him. 425 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 4: And that was fine, and I had but I thought 426 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 4: that was a I thought that was a great story 427 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 4: when he said, hey, I wasn't a great teammate outfield, 428 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 4: which never saw him, but he's like I was the 429 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 4: best on the field. 430 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 5: He was right about that. 431 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: So that would be my question. 432 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: Do players need Barry to be leading the charge and 433 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: a sea on his chest and taking everyone out to 434 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: dinner or does he just need to show up, hit 435 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: dangers and get on base. 436 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, as you said, he was the best teammate when 437 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 4: he got in the box, the best team that I 438 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 4: ever played with by far right when he stepped in 439 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 4: the batter's box. So I mean, listen, did he talk yeah? 440 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 4: Did he hang out no? Did he have his own hotel? 441 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 5: Yes? 442 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 4: I understood why because he was staying away from people 443 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 4: like I. I had no problem with any Did I get 444 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 4: to go to his birthday party. 445 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 2: Yes. 446 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 5: Did I get to do things Yes with Barry, Yes, 447 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 5: But I mean. 448 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 4: He wasn't a guy that was going to hang out 449 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 4: at the hotel bar and drink with you and have 450 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 4: a beer and talk. No, it wasn't baring, but he 451 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 4: knew that going in. He showed up when he wanted to, 452 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 4: He did what he wanted to. But as long as 453 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 4: he was great when he stepped on that field, I 454 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 4: didn't care. 455 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 6: The reality is, if you're an average player, you do 456 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 6: need to do those other things so that you bring 457 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 6: extra value. Barry bonds, if he chooses not to do that, 458 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 6: he's bringing all that value. So until you have more 459 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,719 Speaker 6: value than him to your team. Yeah, maybe you do 460 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 6: need to hang out with the boys, Maybe you do 461 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 6: need to be a different type of teammate. But to me, 462 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 6: all the people that complained about that, it's like you don't. 463 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 6: Everybody has their issues or or just their own personalities. 464 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 6: Like you don't have to be somebody you're not. That 465 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 6: doesn't that doesn't give that doesn't give any value to 466 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 6: the team. 467 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,200 Speaker 1: Award season is here, preseason awards picks, predictions, what's gonna 468 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: happen for the rest of the year. We already went 469 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 1: through teams, who's gonna win divisions, make the playoffs, when 470 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: the World Series, the whole deal. Now, let's go over 471 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: the individual accolades and where we think it will go down. 472 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: So AJ, would you like to start and give us 473 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: I guess take us Rookie of the Year, Manager of 474 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: the Year SI, and then into MVP, and we'll throw 475 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 1: Reliever of the Year in there too, since that's a 476 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: new award that'll be at BBWAA Awards. 477 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 4: Okay, Rookie of the Year, I'm going Mark COMMI check 478 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 4: out my shirt. I think he's gonna hit thirty five plus. 479 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 4: So we're going Maricami n l JJ Weatherholt. Why because 480 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 4: he's in Saint Louis. They'll hpe him up and he'll 481 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 4: get to play every day. So I think that's you 482 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 4: know McLain, Yes, I understand that argument, but he's in 483 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 4: New York and I just think that. 484 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 5: And then we're going. 485 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 4: Manager of the Year Texas. I'm going skip Manager of 486 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 4: the Year in the NL. I'm going Tory Lavello in 487 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 4: Arizona because I picked him both to make the playoffs. 488 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 5: Al Sig, I'm going my guy Hunter Brown. 489 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 4: I just think he's gonna have a great year for 490 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 4: the Houston Astros NLSI I'm not going Paul Skeanes. I'm 491 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,959 Speaker 4: going Christopher Sanchez. I just think he's really good. He's 492 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 4: left handed, and he's gonna have an opportunity MVP shot 493 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 4: Judge o'tanni and listen, if cal Rawly didn't win the 494 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 4: MVP un lists Aaron Judge gets hurt, he's gonna win 495 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 4: it again. And if show Hay doesn't get hurt, he's 496 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 4: gonna win it again. Okay, just you just they might 497 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 4: have to rename the awards Judge and o'tawni because they're. 498 00:22:59,280 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 5: Never gonna not win. 499 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 4: And then really over the year, Andres Munoz because I 500 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 4: think the Mariners are going to be really good. 501 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 5: And for an I'm going off the grid a little bit. 502 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 4: I'm going Devin Williams because I think in the Mets 503 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 4: camp he's gonna get a lot of opportunities for saves 504 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 4: and I think he's gonna improve in year two in Europe. 505 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: Nice, Okay, any thoughts Kratz or would you like to 506 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: start rolling yours? 507 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 5: I like it. 508 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 6: I think I think A J's right on with the 509 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 6: more COMI I don't think he's gonna win the Rookie 510 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 6: of the Year, but I think he's gonna hit thirty 511 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 6: five homers. I love that and I completely agree. Obviously 512 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 6: Otani is going to win it. But you'll see my 513 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 6: picks in a little bit, and I like, I like 514 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 6: your manager of the year picks. I know that's not 515 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 6: like a big, a big thing. I like that because 516 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 6: I think they're two teams that nobody's expecting and yet 517 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 6: they have a chance to make the playoffs. 518 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 5: Yeah. 519 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: For example, I'll just pick up the manager of the year. 520 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: Our buddy Jim Boden on his GM Territory show, I 521 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: think it was him. He said Aaron Boone was his 522 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: pick for Manager of the Year. Here's my take on that. 523 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: It's so difficult for someone like Boone because the expectations 524 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: are already high. 525 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 2: It's much easier to pick. 526 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: A manager of the Year candidate who's with a team 527 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: where you're like, hey, I think they could take another 528 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: step where I think they could surprise some people, right, 529 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: or they're a fringe team, and if they make the 530 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: playoffs and there's a good narrative to it, then I 531 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: go that route. 532 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 2: Skip Schumacher is the prime example. 533 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: He won it right in the past, he won it 534 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: with a Marlins team, then had the weird situation with Miami. 535 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: Nothing on him, they just were making changes, and then 536 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: takes over a Rangers team that didn't make the playoffs 537 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: last year. That adds up a lot more than say Boone. 538 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: Boone just has a lot. It's like the Yankees would 539 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: have to like crush the division and win one hundred games. 540 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 2: Or something like that. That's just asking a lot, all right. 541 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: So if you don't think Murakami's gonna win AL Rookie 542 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: of the Year, who do you have? 543 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 5: Kevin mcgonagd. 544 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,959 Speaker 6: I think Kevin McGonagall just like AJ said about JJ Weatherholt, 545 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 6: I think he's going to get a little lot of 546 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 6: at bats, and I think it's a team that's going 547 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 6: to be winning, and I think that's I know it's 548 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 6: a chalk pick, but watching his at bats last year 549 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,719 Speaker 6: in the minor leagues and then this year in spring training, 550 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 6: like it's the type of hitter that you're like, that's 551 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 6: how you should swing if you are not six foot five, 552 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 6: two hundred and seventy pounds, Like, that's that's how you 553 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 6: can be an all around hitter. And then I'm going 554 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 6: NL Rookie of the Year. This was my toughest of 555 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 6: all my predictions. I really wanted to put Bubba Chandler 556 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 6: in there. I think Bubba Chandler just his stuff. I 557 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 6: think his moxie. I think just his like like unafraid 558 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 6: to be the guy that he is. I think he's 559 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 6: he's gonna have a really good year. But I think 560 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 6: Noel McClain ends up winning it. Matt Katruro Katrro because 561 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 6: the Royals are gonna make it. And if the Royals 562 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 6: make it, I don't care who your manager is, He's 563 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 6: going to be Manager of the Year. Tito because the 564 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 6: Reds are not expected to do anything. I mean, CBS 565 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 6: had him as the twenty second best team in the game, 566 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 6: and I had the Reds making the playoffs and Tito 567 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 6: does his thing. American League. Second toughest decision. I thought 568 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 6: it was going to be Scoobale, but then I thought, 569 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 6: you know what, it's time. It's time for somebody in Seattle. 570 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 6: The team I picked to go. I think I picked 571 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,199 Speaker 6: him to have the best record or second best record 572 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 6: in the American League behind the Tigers, and I think 573 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 6: I think it will be Logan Gilbert's year to win 574 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 6: the SIUM. I picked Paul Skeins. Not off to a 575 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 6: great start today, but that's okay. Paul Skeins will be 576 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 6: at the end of the year's era will probably still 577 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 6: be down below two and to al MVP. I do 578 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 6: think if one of the two, Judge or Otani can 579 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 6: be beaten, it's Judge. 580 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 5: Otani has no. 581 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 6: Chance of being beaten unless he's only doing one of 582 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 6: the two things that he's really good at. And so 583 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 6: I'm thinking Bobby Witt Junior, Bobby wit Junior is going 584 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 6: to lead this Royal team to the playoffs, and he's 585 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,479 Speaker 6: gonna do it with the elite defense, elite base running 586 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,160 Speaker 6: he might have. He might have a forty to forty 587 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 6: type of season, like that type of thing. Historic type 588 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 6: of things from shortstops usually gets you a lot of notoriety. 589 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 6: Andres Munos continuing, the Mariners winning a lot of games 590 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 6: in the American League West and the newest ex met 591 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 6: to go to the Dodgers, Edwin Diaz National League Reliever 592 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 6: of the Year. 593 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 5: Very nice. 594 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 2: So you've got Wit over Judge. 595 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: He's probably the guy that has the best shot, right, 596 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: Is that your number two? 597 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:40,199 Speaker 5: Probably? 598 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, because he can steal bases, plays defense plays an elite. 599 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 5: But cal Rawley, again, if cal Raly didn't win it 600 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 5: last year, how did someone win it? You can't. It's 601 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 5: the same with Totani. 602 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 6: If Judge doesn't hit three point thirty, that's how wit 603 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 6: will look. If Judge does what he does, like people 604 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 6: are saying, well, that was a historic season. What he's 605 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 6: done in the years he stays healthy, he's almost unbeatable. 606 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 6: He's almost like you can't stop Aaron Judge because his 607 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 6: own base per sage is going to be over four hundred. 608 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 6: But when you hit three point thirty with his power, 609 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 6: like that's it's unstoppable. 610 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 5: It's not like he was. 611 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 6: He was outpacing the entire league, not just cal Rawley, 612 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 6: the entire league. 613 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: I also think that when we've talked about this in 614 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: the offseason, catchers don't get as much love in the 615 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: war category as they should. I think they should get more. 616 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: I know they get some, they should get more. Yeah, 617 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: So I think that's part of it. Obviously, Yeah, catchers 618 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: get more love, shortstops, whatever, But I don't think they 619 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: get enough a catcher compared to an outfielder. But that's 620 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: last year's topic. Let's get to stat leaders, so AJ 621 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: will show your board. You want to run through offense 622 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: and then pitching for us? 623 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 4: Uh sure, I'm going Judge home runs, RBIs, Peter Alonzo. 624 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 4: I just think he's in a good lineup, Bobby Witt, 625 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 4: stolen bases, free him e er a leader schemes. Not today, 626 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 4: but he'll be better. Like I said, Freddy Parl Tay 627 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 4: got off to a rough star fine Andres Munio saves 628 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 4: leader because of their in the K leader Sanchez look 629 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,959 Speaker 4: up how many case he had last year? He had 630 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 4: a lot of strikeouts, and I think he's just gonna improve. 631 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, he keeps getting better. The team just took care 632 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: of him too. They really took care of him. They 633 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: give him a lot more money for one extra year, sign. 634 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 6: Sign a nice team, nice team deal. And they said, wow, 635 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 6: great job, we'll re up you again. And he said, okay, cool, 636 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 6: I'll take it. He's a He's a sneaky, really really 637 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 6: tall guy too. By the way, if you ever get 638 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 6: to see him in person, I think he's like six'. 639 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 2: Six so, anyway what about your, list how does it? 640 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 5: Differ Uh, Aron, judge it's going to be the home run. 641 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 6: LEADER i think the RBIs i had to go to 642 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 6: a place where a lot of runs are, scored AND 643 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 6: i think they have a really good. Offense So i'm 644 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 6: Going Nick. Kurtz an entire year Of Nick. Kurtz i'm 645 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 6: not gonna say he's gonna get one hundred and, fifty 646 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 6: But i'm saying if he eclipses one, thirty we're talking 647 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 6: about like a dude that's just gonna be able to 648 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 6: drive so many runs in because of his bats and 649 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 6: his team around. Him stone base Leader Jose ramirez is 650 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 6: sick and freaking tired of not leading the league in one, 651 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 6: category SO i think he's going to take it this. 652 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 6: YEAR i think at forty some last, year he's gonna 653 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 6: flirt with forty forty. Again like he's a guaranteed thirty 654 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 6: thirty every.
