I remember 18 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 4: we used to get who are your top five players? 19 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 4: Or who do you think the best team in the 20 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 4: American League is?

I'm a twenty walker, 32 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 4: so I think my. 33 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 3: Ho Like we were talking about Pooh Holst running on 34 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 3: the lot, do you like kind of have that like 35 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: heavy foot waddle? 36 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, but you're being pooles in a race. You 37 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 4: can't get my legs moving. I think I'd lose. You 38 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 4: think you'd lose to pools. I'm gonna put myself at 39 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 4: the bottom so that anything I do above that is 40 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 4: honestly I get to brag about it. Setting expectations low. 41 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 4: That's how you got to do it. I'm faster than 42 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 4: Albert Pooh Hools. I don't even know if I am. 43 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 3: That's the thing though, it's not that would so true 44 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: to you, like if you get to race. You know, 45 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: Brian SCALABRAINI did something because he was so sick of 46 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 3: everybody saying that they were better than him. He did 47 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 3: the scallenge where you could challenge him to a one 48 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 3: on one and people would submit videos in and challenge 49 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 3: him to a one on one, and of course he 50 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 3: worked everybody, even d one. I think a Syracuse former 51 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 3: basketball Syracuse player got worked. Obviously he's an NBA player. 52 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 3: But on the speed thing, I feel like, if we 53 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 3: had the average civilian race Albert pool Holes, what do 54 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 3: you think I am I being hyperbolic to say, like 55 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: the average twenty to twenty five year old male, Let's say, 56 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 3: are they beating Albert Poohles in a race? 57 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: I think you're being hyperbolic. 58 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 4: Maybe I don't truly understand how slow is I just 59 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 4: I cannot. It doesn't fit in my brain that the 60 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 4: average civilian, even a healthy twenty to twenty four year old, 61 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 4: is still going to beat him. We were just debating 62 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 4: on TikTok as well. I made a TikTok where it 63 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 4: was like with the University of Tennessee, the number one 64 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 4: team in college baseball. Right now, we've seen them with 65 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 4: one oh five point five from Ben Joyce. You know 66 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 4: they have multiple major leaguers probably on that roster one day, 67 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 4: How would they fare against the Cincinnati Rights? 68 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: Could they get them. 69 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 4: On any given day, they would lose by ten runs 70 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 4: on the Red's worst day and the Tennessee best day 71 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 4: Beca's just how it is. So there's levels to this, 72 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 4: and I just don't want to put myself on any 73 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,839 Speaker 4: level that Albert Pools is a best. 74 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: That's fair. That is fair, that is fair. It's funny. 75 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 3: I always thought that question was so nuts in any sport, 76 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: In any. 77 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 4: Sport, Alabama versus Jaguars, Jaguars would win by sixty. Kentucky 78 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 4: verse and Magic a NBA TA, Yeah, the Magic would 79 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 4: win by one hundred. It's just they are professional players. 80 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 4: Ryver san Martin of the Cincinnati Reds would throw a 81 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 4: no hitter against him. 82 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: How it is Martine and forty Yeah, we pick on 83 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: him a lot, but it's very funny. 84 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 3: So we'll start with the Mariners question, which I know 85 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 3: you and I were talking before we started recording, and 86 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: like this was something that it's been awesome to see 87 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 3: JP Crawford ball out. And the question is from just 88 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 3: Lyons on Twitter. Just underscore lines with a Z. That's 89 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 3: my guy, Alex. He's been around since the locked on 90 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 3: MLB Prospects days and I love all the questions he 91 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 3: always asks. 92 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: He's a big Mariners. 93 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: Fan, and it's been cool seeing him follow along because 94 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 3: I've seen him, you know, just all in on the 95 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 3: farm system. 96 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: But now he's seeing the talent go up and he's excited. 97 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 3: I always see him tweet Natas, So I love that 98 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 3: we're leading it off with a question from Alex who's 99 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 3: happy about one thing and not thrilled about another. It's 100 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 3: thoughts on JP Crawford this year, any noticeable changes in 101 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 3: the mechanics. Also, what is wrong with Kelnick? Is it 102 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 3: a mental thing, a huge swing issue, or just flat 103 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 3: out bad. Let's start with the good. JP Crawford has 104 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: been phenomenal this year, Peter, I mean, and there's no 105 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: way around how good he has been. 106 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: The glove. 107 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 3: We always knew the glove was going to be there 108 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: for JP Crawford ever since he was a prospect with 109 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 3: the Phillies, and he has really carved himself out a 110 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 3: role with that glove. But what he's done this year 111 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 3: offensively has been really impressive. Although you and I both 112 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: looked at it. We've looked at the bad ball data. 113 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 3: You look at just the simple swing setup. Nothing looks 114 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 3: too different. But he's hitting three eleven three ninety four 115 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: four eighty four, which is a one to sixty seven 116 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 3: WRC plus. Peter, I think he's getting better with age, right, 117 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 3: I mean he's twenty seven now, he's probably. 118 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: Just learning himself more as a hitter. 119 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 3: But I don't think he's some three to eleven, three 120 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: ninety four to four eighty four guy. 121 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 4: Now all of a sudden agreed and I think he 122 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 4: was asking Alex was asking if he made a major 123 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 4: swing change that developed this and now he's a new player. 124 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 4: I just always think he's been talented. I mean, he 125 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 4: was picked in the first roundback in twenty thirteen. He 126 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 4: was the sixteenth draft pick to the Phillies than traded 127 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 4: to the Mariners. He was always supposed to be this 128 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 4: great guy. We knew about the glove, we knew about 129 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 4: the bat to ball, but the power just never really 130 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 4: came to be. And the power still isn't really coming 131 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 4: to be. But there are a couple of things where 132 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 4: I do see some regression. A three point fifty four 133 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 4: babbit batting average on balls in play that's going to 134 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 4: decrease down to his normal level around three hundred to 135 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 4: three twenty. He's not going to hit three forty seven 136 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 4: off fast balls this year now, but he has proved 137 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 4: that he can hit breaking balls a little bit and 138 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 4: he hasn't hit that well off speed pitches of late. 139 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 4: So do I see JP Crawford hitting three to eleven? 140 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: No? 141 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 4: Do I see you know, four home runs right now? 142 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 4: Do I see him hitting twenty twenty five? Probably not? 143 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 4: But will he hit two eighty with fifteen to twenty 144 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,479 Speaker 4: home runs, plenty of speed and a great glove? 145 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: Yes? Is that? Is that a pretty good shortstop? Absolutely? 146 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: And that's better than last year. 147 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 3: And I think that's that's the larger point is I 148 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 3: don't think either of us have seen any you know, 149 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 3: this isn't one of those where it's like, oh, oh 150 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 3: he changed his setup and now he's lifting the ball 151 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 3: more and it's there's more home runs. No. I think 152 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 3: this is a guy that already kind of figured himself 153 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 3: out last year with yes, with his best offensive season, 154 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 3: and now is applying it more and more. You talk about, 155 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 3: you know, hitting fastball is better, hitting breaking balls even 156 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 3: a little bit better. To start the year, he'll probably 157 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 3: be that two eighty guy like you said, And you 158 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 3: know what, that's even better than last year. And what 159 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: I've seen is there's a little bit more of that 160 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: comfort of picking his spots. I was watching him against 161 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 3: the Marlins and he did a two zero count against Sandy, 162 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 3: and Sandy came in with one hundred miles an hour, 163 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 3: and you could tell he was cheating for it. Which 164 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 3: that's a good spot to cheat, right, look for the 165 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 3: fastball middle end and it got to catch it out 166 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 3: front and launch it, and he launched it for a 167 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 3: home run. So I think those are the nuances that 168 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 3: he's learning. You're not going to find that in the 169 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 3: fangrafts page, but watching that, you know, I was like, WHOA, Okay, 170 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 3: he's starting to learn, like I can pick my spots 171 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 3: to go deep, and he's doing it. And that's why 172 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 3: we've seen four home runs already in thirty four games. 173 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 4: To your point, it's not that he made a swing adjustment. 174 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 4: He's making mental adjustments pitch to pitch, and those are 175 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 4: improving day over day, and he's just getting better. He's 176 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 4: getting more acclimated to the big leagues, and he looks 177 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 4: like an above average shortstup. Like if I asked you are, 178 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 4: who would you rather have for the next couple of years? 179 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 4: JP Crawford to dance be No. I know, because it's 180 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 4: the barometer of average short stup. But again it is 181 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 4: not meaning Dansby is an average player average short shorts. 182 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 4: There are a lot of the shortstops are a lot 183 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 4: of the best players in baseball. So my thinking is 184 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,559 Speaker 4: I would slightly rather have JP Crawford, but it is close. 185 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: That's kind of where he is. 186 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 4: But the fact that you have an above average shortstop 187 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 4: in Seattle a couple of years ago, we were not 188 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 4: saying that about JP Crawford, So that goes to show 189 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 4: the developments that. 190 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: He's made one hundred percent. 191 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 3: And the last thing I'll say, I mean to ask 192 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 3: you the question because I agree i'd take JP. Would 193 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 3: you take JP for his contract, which is fifty one 194 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: million over five years. 195 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 4: Yes, I think that's a solid contract. I think Topoto 196 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 4: did a great job there in Seattle. I love I 197 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: love that deal. So a million, Yeah, come on for 198 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 4: a shortstop and above average short So I'm in twenty 199 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: seven years old. 200 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's gonna get and I think he's gonna keep 201 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 3: getting a little bit better each year going into the 202 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 3: next guy though on the same team now, Jared celnick 203 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 3: uh It has not been pretty for him. He's shown flashes, 204 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 3: and you know, I was convinced that Kellenick's worst days 205 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 3: were behind him when we saw what he did over 206 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 3: the final month of the season last year, where he 207 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 3: mashed baseballs, and that was on a big stage. He 208 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: was leading the charge, you know for a team that 209 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 3: was you know, really making some noise down the stretch, 210 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 3: and he was owning it. He was wearing it, he 211 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 3: was having fun. And all of a sudden it was like, Okay, 212 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 3: this is the Jared Keelnick that we were hearing about 213 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 3: for so long. But then he comes out this yere 214 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 3: Peter sitting one forty nineteen two ninety one. He was 215 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,439 Speaker 3: sent down now to Triple A Tacoma. What is your 216 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 3: thoughts because I know we've talked about it a little 217 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 3: bit in the past. I know you shifted your perception 218 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 3: in some ways. You weren't saying he's cooked, but you're 219 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 3: saying I think we need to reevaluate the ceiling. Has 220 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 3: that changed it all? As he's probably struggled for another 221 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 3: fifty played appearances since you and I had that conversation, You. 222 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 4: Know what I did some soul searching because you're right 223 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 4: I have a reevaluated kind of my expectations on him 224 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 4: because I was pretty high on him. I thought he 225 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 4: could be a potential week of the time at All Star. Yeah, 226 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 4: I mean it's hard not to with the swing and 227 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 4: also his mentality. We've heard that he's just a I 228 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 4: don't give a fuck type player. Yeah, Like it's just 229 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 4: he gets in the box and he's like, try and 230 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 4: beat me, you can't. I love that mentality in a 231 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 4: baseball player. You know, he's athletic out there, he's got speed, 232 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 4: and he's got power. So it's hard not to like him. 233 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 4: But when I said to reevaluate my ceiling, maybe I 234 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 4: need to reevaluate my reevaluation because he's. 235 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: Twenty two years old. 236 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, if he comes up in two years, even at 237 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 4: twenty four, that's still young. 238 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: That's still going to be a good player. There have 239 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: been plenty of players where it just takes a little 240 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: longer to get going. 241 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 4: I mean, this was the guy who was drafted in 242 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 4: sixth overall first round or out of high school, not 243 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 4: a college guy. So it's not this twenty two year 244 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 4: old who we now need to start hitting because he's 245 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 4: only got two years in the minors. 246 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 1: Before he's twenty four. 247 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 4: No, we can give this guy all run, even if 248 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 4: he's not up until next year. 249 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. 250 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 4: For example, they brought up Julio really early. And the 251 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 4: great thing is Julio's just the biggest freak in the world, 252 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 4: so he can take it. But he's going to go 253 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 4: through some slow starts too. I'm I just don't want 254 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 4: to judge him yet because is this product that we 255 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 4: got in twenty twenty two the product that we're gonna 256 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 4: have in twenty twenty four. 257 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: I just don't think so. I think he's gonna make 258 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: major changes and he's still going to be a really 259 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: good player. I agree. I'm really glad you said that, 260 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: because I was. 261 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: I was not sure where you were going to go 262 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 3: on this, to be honest, because you know, we haven't 263 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 3: really talked about Connick, you and I he really even 264 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 3: in person or anything like that. And look, it is 265 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 3: a little bit disappointing that he wasn't able to be 266 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 3: that wonder kin that skips straight to the big leagues. 267 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 3: But like so to your point here, he was drafted 268 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 3: out of high school. He then, you know, plays rookie 269 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 3: level in twenty eighteen. 270 00:11:58,600 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: That's it. 271 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 3: Twenty nineteen, he's traded to Seattle, performs phenomenally as a 272 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 3: nineteen year old, and works his way up to Double 273 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 3: A as a nineteen year old, which is crazy. So 274 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 3: now we're looking at him as this top prospect in baseball. 275 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 3: Twenty twenty season canceled, he balls out in the controlled 276 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 3: environment in the alternate training site. Then twenty twenty one 277 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 3: comes around and he continues to dominate through spring training 278 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 3: and does great in Triple A. So we saw him 279 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 3: climb through the minor leagues quickly. That doesn't necessarily mean 280 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 3: he's big league ready, And now all of a sudden, 281 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 3: we're pitting him against himself because he climbed through the 282 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 3: miner so quickly, Like if he struggled in Double A 283 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 3: and we said, oh, he's struggling to get acclimated and 284 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 3: repeated the level and was not even you know, debuting yet, 285 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 3: I feel like people would be regarding him higher. It's 286 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 3: almost like this weird backwards that come in front of us. 287 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 3: We see them all the time in front of us 288 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 3: at the major league level, and now we're swearing this 289 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 3: guy off. Would you rather see him struggling in Double 290 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 3: A and repeating the level, like I think weirdly. Yes, 291 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 3: I think people would be regarding him higher if he 292 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 3: was just in the miners the whole time. 293 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 4: And also, this is the Seattle Mariners team that's competitive. 294 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 4: They don't have time to give Kelnick all this run. 295 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 4: Bobby wit Junior struggled a lot in his debut with 296 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 4: the Royals, but they keep giving him more run, and 297 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 4: he's going to get better with time. The Seattle Mariners 298 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 4: are competitive. They cannot afford to give Kelnick all this 299 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 4: run when he's not performing. If Julio starts to go 300 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 4: down and Drain, wouldn't be decided, wouldn't be shocked if 301 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 4: they sent him down as well. That's just the reality 302 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 4: of where the Seattle Mariners are. For some other teams 303 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 4: where they're given their prospects more run. If Kelnick was 304 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 4: on the A's, he'd be playing the entire he play 305 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 4: all one sixty two. 306 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter. Yeah, who cares? Who cares? 307 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 3: And that's the big thing too, is that's got to 308 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 3: be you talk about the mentality. He's still human, and 309 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 3: I think the human mentality is crept in a little bit. 310 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 3: Because I was watching some abs and I'd never seen 311 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 3: this version of Jared Kelnick, which was fouled off a 312 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 3: couple of pitches, then two against Corey Knable. I think 313 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 3: it was his last sat bat in the big leagues 314 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: before he was optioned. He took a fastball right down 315 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 3: the middle for strike five, and it was like, that's 316 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 3: that's why it felt to me. 317 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 4: I was like, that's why I felt like I had 318 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 4: to reevaluate because when I watched Kellnick first, when I 319 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 4: watched video of from the minors, so different, completely different. 320 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 4: So I was like, oh, maybe I was watching him wrong. 321 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 4: But then I thought to myself again, dude, he's twenty two. 322 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 4: Have you seen the path that he's had to take. Yeah, 323 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 4: give the man a second, Give the man a second. 324 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm with you. Look, it does stink. 325 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 3: But when we're talking about how hard he hits the ball, too, 326 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 3: this is somebody that hits the ball one hundred and 327 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 3: eighteen miles an hour. I mean that is a least 328 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 3: he got it. And he's twenty two, and he like 329 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 3: got above average athlete. 330 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: We'll be fine. 331 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 3: I will say he's a little pool happy at times. 332 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 3: He's changed his set up like three times now. I 333 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 3: think he needs to find something that works for him, 334 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 3: use it for three hundred plate appearances in triple A, 335 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 3: find that consistency, and then see maybe if we'll see 336 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 3: him back in the second half of the season. It's 337 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 3: no big deal. You shouldn't be swearing him off. Like 338 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 3: Peter said, he's twenty two freaking years old. 339 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: Give the man a second. 340 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 3: Speaking of struggling prospects though, and you know, this was 341 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 3: another really good question from Silvesey twenty six on Twitter. 342 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 3: Why do you believe that many rebuilding teams stick with 343 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 3: certain young prospects, mostly pitchers, who are consistently struggling. Would 344 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 3: this hurt their confidence if they are truly trying to 345 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 3: be developed? Example Joan aid On of the Nationals, which 346 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 3: I know is one of your favorite fades when you 347 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 3: are gambling. Yeah, what do you think about that, Peter, 348 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 3: Because I know you're always looking for like and this 349 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 3: is one of those situations where it's it's always a 350 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 3: great value bet, right if you can find a struggling 351 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 3: rookie that they're rolling out there every fifth day. So 352 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 3: I know that's something you're you're always looking out for 353 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 3: to a degree, But what are your thoughts on this question? 354 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 4: My thoughts first, just eight on or I don't even know. 355 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 4: Jack always pronounces it. For me, I think it's a. 356 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: Done a dome done, A doone on a dome, A 357 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: doone of. 358 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 4: The Washington Nationals. The reason I've fade him is because 359 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 4: he just doesn't look like a starting pitcher. I don't 360 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 4: know what the Nationals are doing. And that's why this 361 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 4: question is tough, because the question in itself is why 362 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 4: do you believe that many rebuilding teams stick with their 363 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 4: current prospects. It's not just any rebuilding team, it's like 364 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 4: they stick with these guys in order to give them 365 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 4: run at the major league level, because if they can't 366 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 4: perform at the major league level, some of these prospects 367 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 4: just won't be big leaguers, kind of like ai a 368 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 4: don The problem with a Dome is that he is young. 369 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 4: They like him in a they like his stuff. I'm 370 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 4: watching almost every single one of his starts because so 371 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 4: I've seen like all of his starts so far, and 372 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 4: they always say he's got the stuff, it's just not 373 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 4: the command. So what the Nationals I think are doing 374 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 4: they see a stuff profile that they think works, and 375 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 4: they're going to continue to give him run until until 376 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 4: I don't know until he figures it out, because that's 377 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 4: the only way I can come across it. Because they 378 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 4: might move the bullpen, they might not. I want to 379 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 4: throw that back over to you because it's so team 380 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 4: by team and it's so player by player. I don't 381 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 4: think generalizing saying that all rebuilding teams all give their 382 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 4: prospects a ton of run. I think every player has 383 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 4: its own moment with a dome. Right now, the Nationals 384 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 4: don't have starting pitching depth. He's the only guy that 385 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 4: can throw out there, and honestly, it can't get any worse. 386 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 4: So they're saying, we might as well try because we 387 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 4: don't have anything else. But if they did have somebody else, 388 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 4: a dome might not be in the major leagues. 389 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 3: I'm glad you hit on the point exactly how I 390 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 3: was going to get on. It's very holistic, right. It's 391 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 3: individual player to player type of situation and team situation. 392 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 3: And you know, for a don the Nationals could say, hey, 393 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 3: we actually want to work on his mechanics. We want 394 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 3: to see him up close and develop him with our 395 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 3: best coaches. And that's the thing with hitting or with pitching, 396 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 3: excuse me, that is often the case. We saw the 397 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 3: Tigers do the same thing with Matt Manning last year. 398 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 3: He was horrible in Triple A, and they have a 399 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 3: lot of confidence in their pitching coach up there and 400 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 3: their development up there, and they said, hey, you know, 401 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 3: we're not competing right now, Let's develop him up here 402 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 3: every fifth day and we don't really have anyone to 403 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 3: put in the rotation anyways. I think that's how the 404 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 3: Nationals feel about it, don't I know, they have a 405 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 3: lot of confidence in their ability to develop. Josiah Gray 406 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 3: has gotten better and better as we've seen him up there, 407 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 3: and I think in that case, that's what we're seeing 408 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 3: with the Nationals. When you look at the Royals, a 409 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 3: guy like Bobby Wait, his case would just be who's 410 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 3: also heating up by the way, And I'm sure you 411 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 3: guys have talked about that on gambling advice, but you 412 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 3: look at him and it's like he's got nothing else 413 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,360 Speaker 3: to let's to prove in Triple A. Even Kellenic only 414 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 3: played thirty games in Triple A. Like we had a 415 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 3: full season at the double and Triple A level, mostly 416 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 3: Triple A for Bobby Witt Junior, and he almost went 417 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 3: thirty thirty so you know those guys, it's like, what 418 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 3: else do they have to prove? 419 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: Just let them keep learning at the big league level. 420 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 3: So that's the other reason why I think we see 421 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 3: teams okay with their prospects continuously struggling, because there is 422 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 3: so much value in learning. As long as you're not 423 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 3: striking out eighty percent of the time or legitimately not 424 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 3: getting out of the first ending of your starts. There's 425 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 3: a ton of value in just getting the experience if 426 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 3: you know you're not playing for anything at the moment. 427 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, that's the point. 428 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 4: It's every player and every team is different, and every 429 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 4: situation is completely different. Because there's some guys haven't played 430 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 4: much above triple A. Maybe yeah, you send them back 431 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 4: down to prove that they can get through triple A. 432 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 4: But if they've dominated triple A already, what else left 433 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 4: is there? So that's that's why we move around in 434 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 4: between players, and everyone has their own situation. That's why 435 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 4: we got to break down everyone situation because they're not 436 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 4: the same. 437 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 3: Another example, real quick before I moved to the next question, 438 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 3: is like Clark Schmidt. I mean, Clark Smith's been really 439 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 3: great out of the bullpen and really in a role 440 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 3: for the big league team. I love Clark Schmidt being 441 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 3: around the big league team and big league veterans and arms. 442 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 3: That guy I don't I don't really want to see 443 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 3: him mix starts in Triple A anymore. 444 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: I want to see what he can do at the 445 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: big league level. 446 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 3: And I think there's a ton of value to the 447 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 3: experience that he's getting in the people that he's able 448 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 3: to work with right now, between the bullpen and the 449 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 3: rotation and the staff. 450 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 4: And before we move on, Luis Heel, a guy who 451 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 4: hasn't played a ton above Triple A, he should probably 452 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 4: get sent down. I know he can be electric, but 453 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 4: he's a guy that I don't want run at the 454 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 4: big leagues. I want him to improve on his command 455 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 4: in the minor leagues before he comes up. Clerk Schmidt 456 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,719 Speaker 4: has proved it enough. Guy like Davy Garcia has not 457 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 4: proved it yet, at least in my eyes. So that's 458 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 4: where I'm at. Everyone has their own situation, which. 459 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 3: Which is the best way to answer it? And I 460 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 3: love I love that example as well. Another question on 461 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 3: a struggling hitter, and I think he just put a ball, 462 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 3: a good swing on the ball, as we were watching 463 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 3: the game and he was I think it was off 464 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 3: of Edwin Diaz, right, But Tyler O'Neill in Saint Louis 465 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 3: has not been swinging it great. And the question comes 466 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,159 Speaker 3: from Mac m andrew on Twitter. It's either that or 467 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 3: it's macmandrew. But I'm gonna guess it's Mac m andrew 468 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 3: on Twitter, and it's what is going on with Tyler 469 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 3: O'Neill in Saint Louis. Big year last year, now looks 470 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 3: like he can't find the swing. Any thoughts? Uh So, Peter, 471 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 3: I looked. 472 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,959 Speaker 1: At, you know, a lot of the numbers. He looks, 473 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: He looks, Okay. 474 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 3: I'm really curious to get your thoughts on this because 475 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm necessarily panicking on Tyler O'Neill yet. 476 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 4: Can I say something, Yeah, don't worry about it. Yeah, 477 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 4: that's what he's just not on time. No, that's what 478 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 4: it seems like to me. Nothing is wrong with the 479 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 4: bad ball profile. I watched a ton of Cardinals game 480 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 4: because I just fricking love this team and I wish 481 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 4: they would trade one of their prospects and go for it, 482 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 4: because I really think that this could be a World 483 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 4: Series team. He's just not on time, that's all it is. 484 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 4: And I hate to be so simple and not get 485 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 4: into it further, but I'm just like, I watch him swing, 486 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 4: looks good. 487 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: He's still tops and Max exsit below. 488 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 4: He's still fast as shit, he's still a great glove 489 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 4: out there, He's got a great arm, he sitting fast, 490 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 4: just not on time right now. He's just not on 491 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 4: time right now. That's all it is. He'll be on 492 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 4: time soon, and he's gonna have an incredible July or 493 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 4: June or August where he hits ten on runs in 494 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 4: a month, and you'll be like, oh, there's Tyler O'Neal, 495 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 4: kind of similar to the way Kyle Tucker started. Just 496 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 4: not on time. It's okay, an awful walkout happens. It's 497 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 4: been a little bit longer than we might have expected, 498 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 4: especially from a guy like Tyler O'Neill. But remember this 499 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 4: is not a Tyler O'Neil who's been amazing year after 500 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 4: year after year after year. He really broke up, broke 501 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 4: on last year, hitter. Yeah, Pitchers made their adjustments. He'll 502 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 4: make his not on time right now, He's gonna be 503 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 4: totally fine. Still elite, Still love him, I think you 504 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 4: hit the nail on that head. And what's crazy, he's 505 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 4: actually walking more, striking out less. So it's not like 506 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 4: we're watching this dude's strikeout. 507 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: Approach is totally fine. Approach is totally fine to me. 508 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 3: It seems like you said the timing slightly off. You 509 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 3: foul off a couple pitches that you should have hit. 510 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 3: Gets he in a two strike count, ends up in 511 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 3: more walks and strikeouts, and I think he's just finding 512 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 3: himself more in deep counts. What's interesting is you look 513 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 3: at last year two forty one hitter through March and 514 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 3: April and then really got things going in May, was 515 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 3: good in June, hit a wall in July, was great 516 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 3: in August, and was great in September. 517 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: So it's interesting. 518 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 3: He's a guy that's super toolsy, super and there's a 519 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 3: lot of moving parts to the swing, and when he's off, 520 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 3: he's going to be off. 521 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: When he's on, he's going to be on. What I 522 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: like is that he's off. 523 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 3: Right now and he's walking more, so you know at 524 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 3: least he's still getting on base. He's still giving yourself 525 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 3: and you know he's going to give you value on defense. 526 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 3: So I wouldn't lose any sleep over Tyler O'Neill if 527 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 3: I'm a Cardinals fan either, any final thoughts on him 528 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 3: before we go to a guy that I would be 529 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 3: losing sleep on. 530 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: Think about it. 531 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 4: The reason Tyler O'Neill is not a top five overall 532 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 4: player because if you look at straight talent, he's right there. 533 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 4: But it's always going to be just the consistency thing 534 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 4: you said. There's a lot of things happening in his swing. 535 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 4: He's going to go through loles, maybe even deeper roles 536 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 4: than other type of guys. I compare his sort of approach, 537 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,719 Speaker 4: not really to Trin Carlos Stanton, but kind of in 538 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 4: that way. So he's going to go through those lolls 539 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 4: and he's going to strike out eighteen times at four games. 540 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 4: He'd be like, oh my gosh, what's going on. But 541 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 4: then he's going to get four home runs the next 542 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 4: four games. You'll be like, Wow, what a player. That's 543 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 4: who Tyler O'Neil is. Still awesome, still. 544 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 3: Awesome, And when you look back at the end of 545 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 3: the season, the strikeout rates palatable, the metrics across the 546 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 3: board look fantastic, and he has a good year, and 547 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 3: so that's just the way it is. And I think 548 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 3: this Cardinals lineup is built to be able to accommodate 549 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 3: the ups and downs of a Tyler O'Neal because Forden 550 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 3: Goldie's consistent, Aeronato's looking consistent. A is how Carlson's heating up, 551 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 3: Bader's heating up. Like this team, Edmund's been really consistent. 552 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 3: This is a really good team and I'm not worried 553 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,479 Speaker 3: about them at all. I would like to see them 554 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 3: go get that arm a team that could be going 555 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 3: to get somebody behind the dish, and I think they 556 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 3: will make a move at some point soon. 557 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: It's about Joey Bart. 558 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 3: And that's the next question we got here from San 559 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 3: Francisco sports fan zero zero, and it is should the 560 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 3: Giants be worried about the slow start from Joey Bart? 561 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 3: Should they look into the trade market for catchers who 562 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 3: might slash will be moved at the deadline? And before 563 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 3: I kick it to you, Peter, I'm gonna just lead 564 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 3: with this. One of the funny things I did earlier 565 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 3: this year was because I really ripped apart Joey Bart. 566 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 3: It was pretty harsh on him. I ranked him sixth 567 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 3: in the Giant's top prospects right up that we did, 568 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 3: which it puts him well outside of the top one hundred. 569 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 3: I think he was on everybody else's top one hundred. 570 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 3: I put him six. 571 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: I watched the video. 572 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 3: I didn't see how that swing was going to work, 573 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 3: especially against Fielo. 574 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: I think he hit one to eleven against Felo. 575 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 3: But the really funny thing that happened was I sent 576 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 3: in our company chat he was facing Sandy al Contra, 577 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 3: who averages the highest fastball VLO and Baseball were up there, 578 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,959 Speaker 3: and I was like, if he hits a home run 579 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 3: off of If Joey Bart hits a home run off 580 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 3: of Sandy al Contra, I'm gonna vend everybody four hundred 581 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 3: dollars next pitch he hits a home run. So theoretically 582 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 3: I do owe our entire staff four hundred dollars bonuses 583 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 3: at some point. 584 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: So hopefully we do so well with just Baseball that 585 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: I can finally fulfill on that joking. 586 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 3: Heavy emphasis on joke comment I ate there, but it's 587 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 3: pretty much been tough sletting for Joey Bart since that 588 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 3: home run. 589 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: He hit a home run off of Albert Poohols as well. 590 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 3: But other than that, he's striking out about forty something 591 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 3: percent of the time. That's always what I thought the 592 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 3: concern was going to be with. He is defending well, 593 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 3: which I think is part of the reason why the 594 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 3: Giants are not, you know, panicking and you know, just 595 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 3: testing whoever they can throw in there. And he's walking 596 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 3: a little bit too. But this is a guy that's 597 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 3: just not going to be able to hit enough to 598 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 3: be an everyday catcher in my opinion, Is his bat 599 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 3: that much different than Bobby Delbeck. No, it's honestly, it's 600 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 3: honestly not that much different. I would say there's a 601 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 3: little bit more swing and this, which is crazy to say. 602 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 4: That's what we're dealing with here. We're dealing with the 603 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 4: guy who, when he connects, can go four to eighty 604 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 4: dead center. 605 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: Yep, no doubt. 606 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 4: And as a catcher, we're if you put Bobby Dalbeck's bat, 607 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 4: and let's say forget Joey Bart's batt you just put 608 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 4: Bobby Delbicks bat in Joey Bart's body and then have 609 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 4: his defensive acumen. 610 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: We'll take that. 611 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 4: You know, there's gonna be some swinging miss. I mean, 612 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 4: Mike Zunino's getting run and he's the worst. So it's 613 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 4: not that like you don't think he's a starting catcher. 614 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 4: I do think he's a starting catcher, but I don't 615 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 4: think he's a very good one. I think he's going 616 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 4: to be a guy's consistently above thirty percent of the 617 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 4: strikeout rate, probably thirty five. He's never gonna hit for 618 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 4: a high average, but at the end of the day, 619 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 4: he's not going to be that far off from what 620 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 4: Gary Sanchez is and Gary Sanchez gets run, Yeah, that's no. 621 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 4: I'm just looking at the rest of the catchers being like, 622 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 4: how could he not like, yeah, so many horrible ones. 623 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 3: I guess to that point, right, it is because the 624 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,679 Speaker 3: catching position is so bad. As long as he's picking 625 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 3: it and he's pictures like like throwing to him, then 626 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 3: I guess theoretically he is a starter, but I don't 627 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 3: think his offense is going to get much better than this. 628 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 3: Like he's a guy that is predetermining his swings. You 629 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 3: can tell like he is swinging before he's deciding if 630 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 3: he's gonna swing. 631 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 4: He watched him live, bro, we saw it like in 632 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 4: person in area, like multiple times. 633 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 1: I was just it's it's. 634 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 4: Getting blown up by night even three, like it's even close, 635 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 4: not even close. 636 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: I'm guessing it looks. 637 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 3: Like it's a His swing is so slow, he's super stiff, 638 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 3: he has he doesn't have much mobility, and by the 639 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 3: time he gets launched and going, it just takes so 640 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 3: long that he needs to cheat. And when you cheat 641 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 3: as a result, like if you need and by cheating, 642 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 3: I mean like starting your swing earlier, you have less 643 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 3: time to pick up the pitch and so you're gonna 644 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 3: chase more. And that's why we're seeing Bart do exactly that. 645 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 3: So to you to your point here, though, then do 646 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 3: they need to go get another catcher? 647 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 4: See no, because they do have Patrick Bailey as well, 648 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 4: who's far far farr He's farther away than Joey Bart 649 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 4: is and correct me if I'm wrong. 650 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: Patrick Bailey is a mid season twenty twenty three. 651 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 3: Guys, that's probably what we have ETAOI is that that's 652 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 3: what I would expect. 653 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: I think you just give it to Joey bart this year. 654 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 4: I don't think you go out and get a catcher, 655 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,239 Speaker 4: because how much better of a catcher are you going 656 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 4: to get? And then you're basically saying to Joey Bart. 657 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 4: If your rookie year, we're done, Yeah, which you gotta 658 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 4: let him go. This year you just lost Buster Posey. 659 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 4: This is the year where you let him go. I 660 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 4: don't think that they should. 661 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: I think that they're the Giants are gonna be good 662 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: kind of regardless. 663 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 4: If he's good, because he's gonna he's gonna pick it 664 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 4: for them defensively and he might get that home run 665 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 4: that they need. 666 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: But the thing is, Joey Bart is also a reverse 667 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:07,719 Speaker 1: splitz guy. 668 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 4: He's got a for eighty seven ops against lefties, seven 669 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 4: to sixty ops against righties, which he's facing righties more so. 670 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 4: At least that's good do I guess? 671 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: I guess just shelter him from the lefties a sense 672 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: as a righty. 673 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 4: But that's why I wouldn't go get another catcher, and 674 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 4: I would let him have as much run this year 675 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 4: as possible, while also saying I don't think he's that 676 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 4: great of a bat, but we've always thought that. I 677 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 4: don't think the Giants have assumed, oh, this is a 678 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 4: great bat and they're sold. I don't think so either. 679 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 3: I think they're gonna try to make it out to 680 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 3: be that, you know, he's he's getting better and he'll 681 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 3: be better than one eighty five three thirty eight three. 682 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: It'll probably be better than that. 683 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 3: But I think he's two ten max. And here's my 684 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 3: one devil's advocate. Would you and we saw the Giants 685 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 3: do it last year with the rental situation. What if 686 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 3: they went out and got and expiring Wilson contraras for 687 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 3: the rest of this season? 688 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: Do the Cubs want to do that? Because the Cubs 689 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: are not living in our world? 690 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 3: I don't know with not living in our world, but 691 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 3: if they're not, if they find out that they don't 692 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 3: think that they can extend. 693 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: Him, then it makes sense. 694 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 4: But at a lot of ball clubs are going to 695 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 4: be looking for that Wilson intars. So would the Giants 696 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 4: be willing to overpay to not have barton the lineup? 697 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 4: I don't think so. I don't think so either. I 698 00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 4: don't think so either. 699 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 3: So I am worried about the slow start, but he 700 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 3: is still valuable enough and good enough, and I think 701 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 3: that's where so they probably shouldn't go to the trade market. 702 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: Is that our final answer? One ninety four expected bat 703 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: tog everage, So it will oh. 704 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 3: Better ahead, better day's ahead for Joey Bart, So what's 705 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 3: your final answer on So you say no trade market. 706 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 4: I say, unless you can get Wilson intreres on a 707 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 4: good deal. 708 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: But I don't make the move for Sean Murphy right now. No, 709 00:30:58,760 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: I don't. 710 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 4: If i'm them, you look across the landscape. Where are 711 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 4: the catchers that are going to be better than giving 712 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 4: your one of your top prospects. I'm in quotes for 713 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 4: all the people on YouTube the run that he deserves 714 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 4: at least as that prospect. I'm going to side with 715 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 4: let him get run. No trade market. Joey Bart is 716 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 4: the catcher for this year. How good will that production be? 717 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 4: We will certainly. 718 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 3: See that we will. But again, been doing a pretty 719 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 3: good job behind the dish, which is the more important 720 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 3: to give this problems with that, And Kurt Casally has 721 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 3: been swinging. 722 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: It really well. That's what I'm saying, Just keep those dudes. 723 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, just like Casally hit the lefties, He's been swinging 724 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 3: it pretty well. So I think that platoon should be 725 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 3: good enough for them, especially with what the offense is 726 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 3: capable of when everybody's healthy and Longoria is back. Another 727 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 3: question that kind of goes off of that same point, 728 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 3: in terms of trade targets, who do you think will 729 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 3: be the big trade deadline target that teams go after? 730 00:31:56,080 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 3: That comes from s yt Ingersol on Instagram. Well, we've 731 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 3: gotten a question from cig or so before. Good question, 732 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 3: because you know it's very open ended. It really boils 733 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 3: down to you know, let me guess, Peter, when you 734 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 3: read this question. 735 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: You went to the standings. 736 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,959 Speaker 3: You looked at the teams that were sucking, because that's 737 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 3: what I do every time, and then you think about 738 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 3: who are the players that could be going from them. 739 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 3: I want to hear who you have first and then 740 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 3: I'll see if I feel like there's anybody you might 741 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 3: be missing. 742 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: But who are some of the big trade targets you're 743 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: looking at? 744 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 4: So I have the obvious one in Luis Castile. I 745 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 4: think Luis Castile will be dealt. We've talked about him before, 746 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 4: the starting pitcher for the Reds. When he's on, he 747 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 4: is electric and he would be an enormous edition. We 748 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 4: have the Frankie Montas of the Oakland A's. Clearly the 749 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 4: A's want to get rid of everybody. He's their best pitcher. 750 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 4: That makes the most sense in the world. Sean Murphy 751 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 4: Catcher A's makes all the sense in the world. 752 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: We've talked about all of those guys. 753 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 4: So I want to go off the beaten path here 754 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 4: and just drum up some names that could be dealt 755 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 4: that have been on trade blocks before and are currently 756 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 4: on teams that most likely will be sellers at the deadline. 757 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 4: And I start in Baltimore with first of all, their bullpen, 758 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 4: because they have a bunch of guys who could be 759 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 4: valuable bullpen additions. 760 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 1: I could just list through them. Yeah, it does. But 761 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: there's like some guys in there that are good, I know. 762 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 4: But I'm gonna stay in Baltimore and I'm going to 763 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 4: talk about Cedric Mullens. Could he be a guy that 764 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 4: is acquired at the deadline. The thing is, I just 765 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,440 Speaker 4: don't know with his contract situation. They already tried, or 766 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 4: it's not like the Baltimore already tried. I mean, he's 767 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 4: been on the block, but guys teams went to them 768 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 4: and said, we'll give you all these top prospects. They 769 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 4: already said no. So I don't really know. But if 770 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 4: we're talking who I think the top you know, trade 771 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 4: deadline target could be. My mind goes to Cedric Mullins. 772 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: Of the Oriels. 773 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 3: I mean, we're seeing what that ballpark is doing to 774 00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 3: a lot of the players offensively. And Mullen's a guy 775 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 3: that likes to use the whole field, so left field 776 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 3: being so deep now is definitely impacting him a little bit. 777 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 3: But we're already seeing him heat up a little bit. 778 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 3: I love Mullens, and I think any team is going 779 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 3: to listen on anybody, So I think that's number one. 780 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 3: That's candidate number one in terms of it's gonna take 781 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 3: a steep price. But for the Orioles, I think they've realized, here, 782 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 3: look what we've got some good pieces. Austin Hayes has 783 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 3: looked pretty good. A lot of their farm system looks 784 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,359 Speaker 3: pretty good. They might say, hey, if the package is right, 785 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 3: because they're pitching is still so thin on the starting side, 786 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 3: right Grayson Rodriguez winning bad, John means now is going 787 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 3: to be out probably for a lot of next year. 788 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 3: Bruce Mman has been a nice development, but like they 789 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 3: need more dudes they do. That's where you trade maybe 790 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 3: a Ciedric Mullins. And we've talked about teams like the 791 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 3: Marlins or the Mariners that have this wealth of pitching 792 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:38,799 Speaker 3: that could go make a deal that the Guardians as well, 793 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 3: having just a ridiculous amount of pitching. Those are all 794 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 3: teams that it could make sense. I don't know if 795 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 3: the Mariners really need to go get another outfielder, but 796 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 3: more Guardians, Marlins other teams. 797 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: That have that kind of wealth of pitching, it makes sense. 798 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 3: Maybe not as high profile, but a guy that I 799 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 3: think could get dealt is Ian Happ. Ian Happ has 800 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 3: been swinging it pretty well this year, and you know, 801 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 3: I like what he it. 802 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: Brings to the table. 803 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 3: Is a switch hitter with some good speed, with some 804 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 3: good power, and you know what, like he's got two 805 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 3: years on the deal, so I'm expecting teams to want that. 806 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: Right. 807 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 3: You have two more years of control that come with 808 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 3: him at about six to eight million, depending on what 809 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 3: the arbitration price is. He's walking as much as he 810 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 3: ever has. His strikeout rate is the lowest it's ever 811 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 3: been two eighty two, four oh five, three eighty eight, 812 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 3: so the power hasn't quite been there, but a one 813 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,760 Speaker 3: thirty one WRC plus. This is a dude that feels 814 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 3: like he's been around forever, Peter, but he's still just 815 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 3: twenty seven. Give me a guy, that's switch hitter with 816 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 3: some power and speed. Although the power hasn't been there 817 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 3: but two years of control. I think it makes sense 818 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 3: for the Cups to sell high now. This is maximum 819 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 3: value for him, probably at the deadline. 820 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 1: This year. 821 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 4: Ianhabs been swinging it and ianhaps the greatest opening day 822 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 4: player of all time, literally of all time. It's incredible 823 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 4: his stats are an opening day How about another guy 824 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 4: who just deserves our respect. 825 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 1: The next trade candidate for me is Josh Bell of 826 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 1: the Washington Nationals. 827 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, this dude breaks, And I know I say that 828 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,839 Speaker 4: a lot sometimes, but this dude rakes three thirty three. 829 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 4: He's hitting right now for twenty three OBP four eighty one, slugging. 830 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 4: Every single time I turn on a freakin' Nationals game, 831 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 4: whether I bet for or against them, he's hitting. He's 832 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 4: gonna have a high ground ball rate, but it doesn't 833 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 4: even matter because he just shoots the balls through those gaps. 834 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 4: He is a fantastic hitter, and at only twenty nine 835 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 4: years old, he could be a huge addition at the 836 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 4: deadline for a team looking for a big first baseman 837 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 4: to put some thump in their lineup. You know, I'm 838 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 4: even thinking if the Guardians going to run someone like that, 839 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 4: you know, but the Guardians will they buy or sell? 840 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 4: They probably not by Josh bell I'm just saying, please, Guardians, 841 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 4: you could, like please, that would make so much sense. 842 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 3: I think that's a perfect target for a Guardian team 843 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 3: that doesn't like to part with like high end prospects. 844 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,479 Speaker 4: They could trade a Maybe Naylor is making his noise 845 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,720 Speaker 4: at first base, but I just keep remembering Bobby Bradley 846 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,319 Speaker 4: and like, yes, someone else. 847 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 3: I think that they could really use a Josh Bellen. 848 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 3: You look at a team like the Guardians, they have 849 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 3: eighteen middle infielders and pitchers, and you trade maybe your 850 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 3: numbers redsucks middle infielder exactly, and go make that move 851 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 3: and Josh bell look, he's gonna be He's gonna get 852 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 3: you a little bit more than I think that they 853 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 3: ever thought the Nationals in terms of prospect return. 854 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: But he's not going to be breaking the bank. 855 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 3: You know, He's still just a first baseman, and you know, 856 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 3: teams are just not giving up a ton for it. 857 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: So I like him as a trade target a lot, as. 858 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 3: Another switch hitter who is striking out the least he 859 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 3: has in his career, extremely encouraging to see those kinds 860 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,839 Speaker 3: of things, uh, you know, from somebody like him. If 861 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 3: if the Red Sox keeps sucking, Xander Bogarts could be 862 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 3: a guy and I know they just said that, you 863 00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 3: know they're they're open, and he's open to re reopening 864 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 3: the extension conversation. But if the Red Sox are shooting 865 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,200 Speaker 3: him ninety million offers, it's not going to happen. If 866 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 3: the Red Sox keeps stinking, that could be the number 867 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 3: one target because they need to cash in instead of 868 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 3: just losing him in free agency like we saw with 869 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 3: Mookie Batts. Imagine if they didn't trade Mookie and never 870 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 3: got Verdugo and never got some of the pieces that 871 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 3: they need, Like, I could see this being a similar 872 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 3: situation if it's clear that Bogarts and the Red Sox 873 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 3: are too far apart agreed. 874 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 1: And another guy who maybe be on there. I just 875 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,160 Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna get traded. 876 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 4: But Zach Gallon, I mean, if the Diamondbacks ever decided that, 877 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 4: you know, they want to cash in right now be 878 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 4: the best time to do so. I mean, you'd get 879 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 4: a king's ransom for a guy who could be a 880 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:26,920 Speaker 4: cy young Award winner one day. Probably not, but maybe 881 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 4: with another team, maybe you could sell that to somebody 882 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 4: getting enormous prospect call. It's just I don't think it's 883 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 4: actually gonna happen. But I'm saying if the Diamonbacks wanted 884 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 4: to come away with four top one hundred prospect types, 885 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 4: Zach Allen's got to do it. 886 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 3: I'm with you, and you know what, man, Like, they're 887 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 3: in a weird spot where it's almost do we keep it? 888 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 1: Keep going? 889 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,120 Speaker 3: They're kind of good? 890 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 1: Are they better than the Padres? Honestly, they're fun. They 891 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: are they are fun. They are fun. 892 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 3: Dalton bar shows a lot of fun, I would say 893 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 3: from that team, though David Peraltza's a definite trade candidates 894 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 3: walk to Christian Walker Gallon could go either way. I 895 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 3: think someone's gonna knock your socks and but realistically, yeah, 896 00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 3: they've got They've got all. 897 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: Really good pieces. Man. 898 00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,320 Speaker 3: You can see the Diamondbacks starting to trend in that 899 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,279 Speaker 3: right direction, so they might want to hold on to Gallon. 900 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,720 Speaker 3: But if someone comes to you with a crazy offer, 901 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 3: I think you got to listen. With some of the 902 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 3: injury concerns he has, I. 903 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 4: Don't think he's going to get traded, just another name 904 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:22,280 Speaker 4: to kind of put. 905 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,720 Speaker 3: I'm sure, I'm sure they'll get some calls. So exactly, 906 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 3: I'm with you one hundred percent.

It's loop dot cards slash 1012 00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 3: Just Baseball to check that out and would really appreciate 1013 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,320 Speaker 3: it if you guys could download that app. So Peter 1014 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,800 Speaker 3: four more questions and very pitcher heavy with the first two, 1015 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 3: actually three, three of the four are pitcher heavy. We're 1016 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 3: going to start with Trek Scooble, who is someone I've 1017 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 3: really enjoyed talking about since you know, he was a 1018 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 3: prospect coming up with the Tigers. Wild story is a 1019 00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 3: guy that pitched at Seattle University and really was had 1020 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,479 Speaker 3: major command issues and has gotten better and better each year. 1021 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 3: I didn't think he was quite big league ready last year. 1022 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,920 Speaker 3: That's why I made a bet with Kolby Olsen that 1023 00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,720 Speaker 3: he would finish with an ERA over four point something, 1024 00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:37,919 Speaker 3: and he did. But he was still really good last 1025 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 3: year and he has taken his game to the next 1026 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,640 Speaker 3: level this year. The question from C six RSN is 1027 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,000 Speaker 3: the Tigers pitching as a whole husban met, But why 1028 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 3: is Trek Scooble so good right now? Peter, what has 1029 00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,879 Speaker 3: really impressed you about Trek Scuble thus far? 1030 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 4: Before I talk about what's impressed me with Schooble, I 1031 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 4: want you to talk about that again, because you didn't 1032 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:01,640 Speaker 4: think that he was big league ready when he was 1033 00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,959 Speaker 4: twenty four, and now he's being elite when he's twenty five. 1034 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: Jared Kalnick is twenty two. 1035 00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,440 Speaker 4: If he was not that good in his first couple starts, 1036 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,399 Speaker 4: but then he's good. When he's twenty four to twenty five, 1037 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,240 Speaker 4: we're gonna be talking way differently, giving him way more respect. 1038 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:17,480 Speaker 1: But he's twenty two. 1039 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,719 Speaker 4: Arrek Scooble is now twenty five, and we're so excited 1040 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 4: to see what we've seen from the guy was at 1041 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 4: two to five oo era, thirty nine innings, forty five 1042 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 4: strikeouts and there. 1043 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:28,840 Speaker 1: Not only have I bet. 1044 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 4: On a couple of games with Tarrek Scooble, so I've 1045 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,240 Speaker 4: seen him firsthand, but also I just genuinely like watching 1046 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 4: him pitch because right now he's attacking the strike zone. 1047 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 4: He's locating the fastball well, he's elevating it, but he's 1048 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,319 Speaker 4: also challenging hitters with it, and he doesn't throw it 1049 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 4: that much those about twenty nine percent of the time, 1050 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 4: but hitters can't really touch it, and the expected stats 1051 00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,440 Speaker 4: point to it being even better than what it has 1052 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,040 Speaker 4: produced so far. The slider is disgusting. He sometimes throws 1053 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 4: it up on the zone, but he mostly keeps it 1054 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 4: down and a way to write headed hitters. The sinker 1055 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 4: he's spotting all over. He's got a change up he's 1056 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,960 Speaker 4: got a curveball. He's thrown all these pitches above eight percent. 1057 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 4: He's a five pitch guy that varies his speeds and 1058 00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,359 Speaker 4: he's just tough to time up, especially with a little 1059 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 4: bit of a funky motion. 1060 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,319 Speaker 3: I really like what I see from this guy one 1061 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:20,280 Speaker 3: hundred percent. So you hit on some really important points. 1062 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 3: The reason why I made the bet with Colby, and 1063 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 3: again it wasn't that I don't didn't like Scooba long term. 1064 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,920 Speaker 3: He was throwing his fastball in the minor leagues seventy 1065 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,920 Speaker 3: percent of the time exactly so because it was so 1066 00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 3: damn good. He's deceptive, he's funky, and it has If 1067 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 3: you look at the movement profile of the fastball, it 1068 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 3: fits under riser, which is you know that that desired 1069 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,880 Speaker 3: that's what everybody wants, right, And so he was throwing 1070 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 3: risers with deception, with a unique arm angle in the 1071 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 3: mid nineties in the minors and just blowing guys up. 1072 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 3: So there wasn't much of this emphasis of like needing 1073 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,680 Speaker 3: to throw secondary stuff you get to the big leagues. Yeah, 1074 00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:00,600 Speaker 3: if you locate that fastball up, as we see with 1075 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 3: Hunter Green, you'll get guys out. 1076 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 1: But if you miss your spots, you're going to struggle. 1077 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,760 Speaker 3: So two things that stand out to me with scoobl 1078 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,480 Speaker 3: He's added the sinker now too, So instead of just 1079 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 3: going heavy four seam, now he's throwing, like you said, 1080 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 3: twenty nine percent four seamer, but then also throwing that 1081 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 3: sinker twenty one percent of the time, so he doesn't 1082 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,800 Speaker 3: need to strike out everybody. He can fall behind in 1083 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,960 Speaker 3: the count, go to the sinker and get a ground 1084 00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 3: ball and get out of the inning, or you know, 1085 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 3: really just get himself to keep the pitch count down. 1086 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,840 Speaker 3: And that is so encouraging. The slider is fantastic, But 1087 00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 3: I think the big difference maker Peter is the sinker. 1088 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,680 Speaker 3: Because you mentioned how he's got the walk right to 1089 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 3: a career low. I think that's because he trusts that 1090 00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,839 Speaker 3: he can throw that heavy sinker and get strikes that 1091 00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,400 Speaker 3: way and not just have to beat guys with elevated 1092 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:45,280 Speaker 3: heat all the time. 1093 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:47,400 Speaker 4: I mean, think about it, all of his pitches just 1094 00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 4: go all these different directions. You got a fastball on 1095 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 4: a sinker that has the same spinner at least very 1096 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,200 Speaker 4: similar same arm angle. One's going a little bit up, 1097 00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:55,960 Speaker 4: one's going a little bit down. Then you have the 1098 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,719 Speaker 4: slider breaking up, but then you have a curve ball, 1099 00:47:57,760 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 4: then you have a changeup. We talked about redetm or 1100 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 4: little bit, just the ability to work within multiple speeds. 1101 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,120 Speaker 4: Right now, he's at ninety four on the fastball, eighty 1102 00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:08,319 Speaker 4: eight on the slider, eighty three on the change up, 1103 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,959 Speaker 4: seventy six and a half on the curveball. It's tough 1104 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 4: to time up those pitches, especially when you said it yourself, 1105 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,040 Speaker 4: fastball sinker. You aren't sure whether it's going to go 1106 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:17,879 Speaker 4: up or down, so you're worried about that. You're thinking 1107 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,239 Speaker 4: about that in your head. And then he's breaking on sliders, 1108 00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 4: and then if you're timing it up, you're sitting in 1109 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 4: the ninety eighty eight to ninety three range. That's what 1110 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,359 Speaker 4: you're timed up for. He'll bend seventy six on you. 1111 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,840 Speaker 4: It's incredible. He's a really, really good pitcher. 1112 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 3: So where do you think he sticks or you know, 1113 00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,680 Speaker 3: kind of swats in here. I think this is a 1114 00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,160 Speaker 3: guy that could be a legit number two. You know, 1115 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 3: I think he continues to get better. I do think 1116 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 3: I think he's a solidified number three. But I see 1117 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 3: some number two upside here. If the command continues to 1118 00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:46,360 Speaker 3: be as good as it is. I mean, this is 1119 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,959 Speaker 3: forty five, forty five strikeouts, eight walks thus far, Peter 1120 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:53,799 Speaker 3: and I mean, he's matching like an ace, and that's 1121 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,279 Speaker 3: pitching like an ace. But will he be an ace 1122 00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:57,000 Speaker 3: is the question. 1123 00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. 1124 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,759 Speaker 3: But with the with the pitch assortment that he has, 1125 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,440 Speaker 3: all of the different you know, I never expected him 1126 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:05,920 Speaker 3: to have this deep of a bag, you know. I 1127 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,239 Speaker 3: always thought he'd be better than he was. 1128 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:09,719 Speaker 1: I didn't. I always thought he'd be fastball slider, and 1129 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 1: he looks amazing. He's blown away my expectations. 1130 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 4: I thought this was a good pitcher, thought he was 1131 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 4: a solid three, and he's developed into this. 1132 00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 1: At worst, he's a good two. At worst, I agree. 1133 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 3: I agree, And Chris, Chris Fetter, you know, the pitching 1134 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 3: coach over in Detroit isn't a phenomenal job. And those 1135 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:30,360 Speaker 3: part of the reason why why they promoted Matt Manning 1136 00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,759 Speaker 3: early even though he wasn't ready, so that he can 1137 00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,919 Speaker 3: get his hands on him before Casey Mais got hurt. 1138 00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:37,120 Speaker 3: We saw mys Max strides and I think Schooble is 1139 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 3: the most talented of the bunch and we've seen, you 1140 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,800 Speaker 3: know what Fetter's been able to do with schoobl speaking 1141 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,479 Speaker 3: of talented starters that you know got to the big leagues, 1142 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 3: had some success. And again a good pitching coach with 1143 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,879 Speaker 3: the Marlins in Mels Statdamyer Junior, who really helped six 1144 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,359 Speaker 3: do Sanchez can't help him stay healthy and unfortunately that's 1145 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,439 Speaker 3: been the deal. He's now throwing from ninety feet, which 1146 00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 3: is this has been a meme in itself, was how 1147 00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,880 Speaker 3: many feet six to oh? Throwing from today? 1148 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 4: Sometimes all just text it would be like a six 1149 00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 4: up throw, Yet like nope, nope. 1150 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 1: He posted a. 1151 00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 3: Video on his Instagram with him throwing like twenty feet 1152 00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:10,520 Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh my gosh, but he's in ninety 1153 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,680 Speaker 3: I don't think he's been from ninety in like a year. 1154 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,880 Speaker 3: That's great to hear. Shoulder is who's have been a lot. 1155 00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,839 Speaker 3: The question comes from Obscure x Reds on Twitter, which 1156 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 3: is such a funny account. It's just all obscure random reds, 1157 00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,719 Speaker 3: but they do a great job of just being fun 1158 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,880 Speaker 3: and engaging on Twitter as well, and obscure x Reds 1159 00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,240 Speaker 3: asks where is six? So Sanchez and the Marlins starting 1160 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,759 Speaker 3: pitching prospect hierarchy seems to have fallen significantly in a 1161 00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,680 Speaker 3: loaded system with starting pitching as someone that's kind of 1162 00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 3: seen it all go as a guy that's wearying the 1163 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,920 Speaker 3: Marlin shirt right now, thank you, thank you found it 1164 00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:45,440 Speaker 3: at the prif shop. The thing with six oh is 1165 00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:49,920 Speaker 3: it's a combination of injury murkiness in terms of what 1166 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,279 Speaker 3: information the team is giving, and then also just a 1167 00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:57,359 Speaker 3: litany of arms, right Like, yeah, it's one thing for 1168 00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:59,799 Speaker 3: six O to just naturally fade because he is not 1169 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,759 Speaker 3: on the field, but also when you got guys like 1170 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:06,200 Speaker 3: Edward Cabrera shoving when he's healthy. You got guys like 1171 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:09,240 Speaker 3: he'sus Zardo, Max Meyer, you know all these other prospects, 1172 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 3: Juri Perez, Jake Eder when he's healthy. Like, there's so 1173 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 3: many arms out there. I just don't think people are 1174 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:16,840 Speaker 3: really losing sleep over six oh at this point, and 1175 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 3: anything that they can get from him is a bonus. 1176 00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 1: Which is crazy to say. 1177 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,720 Speaker 4: You haven't named a name that I wouldn't take over him. 1178 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,000 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. It's not about Jake Eater. 1179 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 4: You talked about Max Meyer, you talked about Edward Cabrera, 1180 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:32,840 Speaker 4: you talked about Haysus Zardo, I'm taking all those guys 1181 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 4: over six. Oh sorry I am. I mean maybe who 1182 00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 4: would I not Eliots or Hernandez. Give me six o 1183 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,640 Speaker 4: over Elias or Hernandez. That's about it. And maybe Elia's 1184 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,560 Speaker 4: Ernane is gonna have a better big leagu career than six. 1185 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,000 Speaker 4: It's not out of the question yet. Which is which 1186 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 4: is terrifying. It's terrifying the thing where are you at? 1187 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,280 Speaker 4: I mean you're the Marlins, Like, where are you placing 1188 00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,759 Speaker 4: him in this? Like with you if you have if 1189 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,400 Speaker 4: you're the gym of the Marlins and you have a 1190 00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,360 Speaker 4: trade partner with another team where they're saying, you know, 1191 00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,359 Speaker 4: the classic pick four from this group of prospects, and 1192 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 4: that group of prospects is Edward Jake Eater six Oh, 1193 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:09,440 Speaker 4: Sanchez and Meyer ad Meyer take six to exactly, Like 1194 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,640 Speaker 4: that's where he is, but he is in that tier. 1195 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:13,879 Speaker 1: But that's where he is within that tier. 1196 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,959 Speaker 3: And I will say this, I was always I always. 1197 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,239 Speaker 1: Really like six. Do I love Eater? I'm a big. 1198 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,520 Speaker 3: Eater's phenomenally, you know, he's people. People might be like, oh, 1199 00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:26,359 Speaker 3: but they're both hurt Eater, Tommy John not worried six doh. 1200 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 3: Third instance of some sort of shoulder issue, this time 1201 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 3: in actual surgery. So and then they're like, oh, he 1202 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,719 Speaker 3: might not need the procedure. Then he get it's just 1203 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,040 Speaker 3: been such a mess that it's a little weird. The 1204 00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:38,799 Speaker 3: other thing with six though, for me, is is you 1205 00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,240 Speaker 3: know you see him a little bit out of shape. 1206 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 3: He's showed up overweight to spring training. You know, he 1207 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,480 Speaker 3: hasn't taken care of his body the best, you know 1208 00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,440 Speaker 3: when we've seen him. And then on top of that, 1209 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,160 Speaker 3: when he is healthy, he's really good. We've seen flashes, 1210 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 3: but he doesn't get the swings and misses you'd expect. 1211 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,399 Speaker 3: Peter and I've always thought he was a little bit 1212 00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,240 Speaker 3: overrated because everyone's like, oh, one oh one with movement, 1213 00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,919 Speaker 3: Look get brutes, star graderol. He was one oh one 1214 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,480 Speaker 3: with movement and it still is. He's one o two 1215 00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,720 Speaker 3: with movement and doesn't get the crazy amount of swings 1216 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 3: and misses. You know that six oh Sanchos leaver one 1217 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 3: never once in his mind league career average more than 1218 00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,080 Speaker 3: eight point six eight strikeouts per nine. 1219 00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 4: We were talking a couple of year was it a 1220 00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,120 Speaker 4: couple of years ago, Now it was a long time ago. 1221 00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:23,480 Speaker 4: We were talking to stuff before six do even had 1222 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:28,440 Speaker 4: these injury concerns? Yes, is he good when healthy? Is 1223 00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 4: he even that great? When healthy? We's gonna be good. Yeah, 1224 00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,720 Speaker 4: But is he gonna be great when healthy? We both 1225 00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 4: were like, I don't know about great. And then now 1226 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:41,040 Speaker 4: he's dealing with all this. It's certainly not helping his production. No, 1227 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:46,320 Speaker 4: So if his ceiling is good, I rest my case. 1228 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:48,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, when he was good was when he was using 1229 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 3: the four seamer up sinker down, and then using the 1230 00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,080 Speaker 3: breaking ball because he was almost always going change up sinker. 1231 00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:58,880 Speaker 1: Everything was down, so he was getting ground balls. But 1232 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 1: he was really a round ball pitch. 1233 00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:03,000 Speaker 3: I mean, he never struck out more than twenty four 1234 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 3: percent of batters twenty five percent of batters, which you 1235 00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:07,880 Speaker 3: know is just not what you would expect from a 1236 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:10,320 Speaker 3: guy with his stuff. So I would put him below 1237 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,399 Speaker 3: all of those other guys right now. But I do 1238 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,480 Speaker 3: think that there's a scenario where you could still be 1239 00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,880 Speaker 3: a really solid big league pitcher. But between the health 1240 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,120 Speaker 3: and the lack of swing and miss, I just don't 1241 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:21,600 Speaker 3: think he's in the conversation. 1242 00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:22,359 Speaker 1: With those other guys at this point. 1243 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 4: Agreed. 1244 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,319 Speaker 3: Next up is a guy who is pretty much heading 1245 00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 3: in the opposite direction, he's as good as as anybody 1246 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,960 Speaker 3: in the game right now in terms of starting pitching 1247 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:34,839 Speaker 3: Shane McClanahan man Koby Olsen. 1248 00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:35,319 Speaker 1: Again bringing him out. 1249 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,759 Speaker 3: He put out a phenomenal piece on Just Baseball dot 1250 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,719 Speaker 3: Com breaking down why Shane McClanahan is a bona fide 1251 00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 3: ace at this point in this game. And I agree, 1252 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,279 Speaker 3: I think Shane McClanahan is a bona fide ace, and 1253 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,279 Speaker 3: that kind of answers the question already. Where does Shane 1254 00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,880 Speaker 3: McClanahan rank among current starters. That's from Berner Underscore Phillips 1255 00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 3: on Twitter. I guess I kind of gave my answer. 1256 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,279 Speaker 3: I think he's an ace. I don't think he's an 1257 00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 3: elite ace, but I think I think he's an ace 1258 00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:00,400 Speaker 3: at this point. Where do you stack up on this? 1259 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:09,560 Speaker 4: I think he's I think he's great. I don't think 1260 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:13,440 Speaker 4: he's an ACE, really, I think he's elite. I think 1261 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,839 Speaker 4: he's having a great start to the season. I think 1262 00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 4: he's a very very good pitcher. Like I still there's 1263 00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:23,640 Speaker 4: a part of me that still thinks BOS will be better. 1264 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,560 Speaker 4: And maybe that's maybe that's to that point, is just 1265 00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:30,480 Speaker 4: the such belief in Boz. But I've seen mcclenahan's command 1266 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,800 Speaker 4: go astray, and when the command goes astray and against 1267 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,760 Speaker 4: and his fastball is hittable. I know it's ninety seven, 1268 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:40,960 Speaker 4: but that's the that's the pitch that opponents are hitting 1269 00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:45,240 Speaker 4: the best off this year. I just don't And maybe, 1270 00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 4: for example, what is the qualification of an ace? I 1271 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,680 Speaker 4: guess when I'm thinking about our top ten pitchers, I'm. 1272 00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,319 Speaker 3: Not No, he's not a shame that he's not in it. 1273 00:55:55,360 --> 00:55:59,880 Speaker 3: I guess, see a top thirty pitcher, Yes, easily, he's 1274 00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,320 Speaker 3: Is he tier that means Tier one starting pitcher. 1275 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:03,200 Speaker 1: That's kind of what I'm looking. 1276 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,280 Speaker 4: Yes, I thought maybe we were talking like ace ace, 1277 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:10,919 Speaker 4: like with the top ten or top No, No, think, Yeah, 1278 00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:12,240 Speaker 4: it's a very vague. 1279 00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,080 Speaker 3: I always think it's funny to when we bring it up, 1280 00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:15,360 Speaker 3: it's like, okay, is he an ace? And we end 1281 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:19,399 Speaker 3: up debating more so what is the quality whether he's 1282 00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,919 Speaker 3: actually an ace? Like, so I guess what the question 1283 00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:24,680 Speaker 3: would be, you know, is he in that Tier one? 1284 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 3: There's Tier one A and there's Tier one B, and 1285 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 3: that's it's broad. But in terms of like the Pablo 1286 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,520 Speaker 3: Wilpez Is of the world, Like, is he better than Pablo? 1287 00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:36,360 Speaker 3: Like I think he might be. I would probably, I 1288 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,800 Speaker 3: would take him over Pablo, And Pablo is. 1289 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:42,440 Speaker 1: A Tier one fringe guy, right, would you take him 1290 00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,799 Speaker 1: over Sandy? I don't think I would. 1291 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,840 Speaker 3: No, But I think Sandy's a top fifteen twenty starter exactly. 1292 00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 4: So he's in that thirty fifteen to twenty range. I 1293 00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,479 Speaker 4: think he's in that. He's like the eighteenth best picture 1294 00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:58,360 Speaker 4: in baseball. Let me put him right there, Shane, not 1295 00:56:58,440 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 4: a random Shane McLanahan. 1296 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,839 Speaker 1: That's what I think. Yeah, I think I think Sandy's better. 1297 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:04,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's anywhere from the eighteen to twenty 1298 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,920 Speaker 3: five range. I think you're you're more than fine putting 1299 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:08,920 Speaker 3: them there if you look at all of you know, 1300 00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,400 Speaker 3: all of the stuff that he's he's been able to 1301 00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:13,759 Speaker 3: really just mix in this year. The curveball has been 1302 00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,760 Speaker 3: just dynamite. The change up is what really impresses me. Peter, 1303 00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,439 Speaker 3: and you have mentioned like that the fastball has gotten hit. 1304 00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,200 Speaker 3: But that's what's crazy is it's getting hit at a 1305 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,560 Speaker 3: three ninety five batting average right now. I mean, like really, 1306 00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,120 Speaker 3: it's it's gotten hit pretty hard, and he's still shoving 1307 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 3: so imagine if he finds a way to mask that 1308 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,320 Speaker 3: fastball a bit more to be more effective with the heater. 1309 00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:38,080 Speaker 3: I mean, the world's his oyster. The world is his oyster. 1310 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 3: But let's do this, like, let's go through some starter pitchers. 1311 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:43,760 Speaker 4: I'm just gonna throw them at you, and you tell 1312 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:46,080 Speaker 4: me who you'd rather have, Like right now. 1313 00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: Do you think that's fair? Yeah, let's do it. 1314 00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:53,000 Speaker 4: Would you rather have him or Alec Manoa? Mania Mania? 1315 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,160 Speaker 4: Would you rather have him or Zach Wheeler? 1316 00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:57,480 Speaker 1: Oh? 1317 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,520 Speaker 3: I mean, after what Wheeler did last year, you gotta 1318 00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,080 Speaker 3: go and again this is like just. 1319 00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 1: For this season, Yeah, this is like right now, who 1320 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:04,240 Speaker 1: do you want? 1321 00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:04,480 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1322 00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:04,800 Speaker 4: Right now? 1323 00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, for the rest of the season. We always gonna 1324 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,520 Speaker 1: turn it around. He's too good. Yeah. Would you rather 1325 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,720 Speaker 1: have him or Freddy? Him? Him? Him? 1326 00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll take mcleannan over Freddy maybe, but like I'm 1327 00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,880 Speaker 4: not sold on that. I'm not super sold on that. 1328 00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:26,720 Speaker 4: Would you rather have McClanahan or Logan Web. That's fucking 1329 00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,360 Speaker 4: tough because web Web is not gonna do a whole episode. 1330 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,720 Speaker 1: On Logan Web right now. 1331 00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go McClanahan with what we're seeing from him 1332 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:38,280 Speaker 3: right now, McLanahan or Joe Musgrove, musk Grove, musk Grove. 1333 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:43,280 Speaker 1: So that's I mean Verlander McClanahan, not for Verlanders phenomenal 1334 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:43,680 Speaker 1: right now. 1335 00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 4: And then you go like Garrett Cole, like you'd rather 1336 00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 4: Garrett Cole? Would you rather Max Free? Oh that's a 1337 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,240 Speaker 4: fun one. There's a lot of really good pictures. That's 1338 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,280 Speaker 4: what I'm thinking. It was like, are we putting mcleannon 1339 00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 4: up right now? I'm like, like, Kelnick, give the man 1340 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:02,040 Speaker 4: a second to he's right here. I don't want April 1341 00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,920 Speaker 4: seventh to May eighteenth now he's top ten because he 1342 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:07,000 Speaker 4: hasn't proved that yet. 1343 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:08,760 Speaker 1: The stuff was always there. I'm not saying that. If 1344 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:09,280 Speaker 1: we're talking to. 1345 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,360 Speaker 4: Straight stuff profile, he is up there with the greats. 1346 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:16,400 Speaker 4: But if we're talking about production game seven, I need 1347 00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,240 Speaker 4: a dude on the mound. There's fifteen to twenty. I'm 1348 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:20,080 Speaker 4: taking over him. Yah. 1349 00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,160 Speaker 3: But to say, Shane McClanahan I think is a top 1350 00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 3: twenty five starter in the game, that's a huge jump 1351 00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,760 Speaker 3: from where he was at, you know, like that is 1352 00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,160 Speaker 3: a huge jump. So all that to say, I mean 1353 00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:34,800 Speaker 3: he is really impressing. He is turning himself into one 1354 00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,680 Speaker 3: of the more exciting young arms in the game, and 1355 00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,600 Speaker 3: again still turn twenty five years old nineteen days ago. 1356 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,160 Speaker 1: It's extremely young in the right organization. 1357 00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,480 Speaker 3: Continues to get better and turned in his second seven 1358 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,120 Speaker 3: inning outing of the season the other day against the Angels, 1359 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:49,959 Speaker 3: which is the big thing for him, you know, going 1360 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,040 Speaker 3: deeper into ballgames. We've seen him now punch outs at 1361 00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:57,040 Speaker 3: least seven batters in every start except for one, so 1362 00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,240 Speaker 3: definitely heading in the right direction. I agree, like, let's 1363 00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:00,960 Speaker 3: see him do it a little a bit longer before 1364 01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,360 Speaker 3: we put him in that conversation, but I'll wrap up 1365 01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,880 Speaker 3: with one question back on you. Would you be surprised 1366 01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,840 Speaker 3: if Shan mcclanahan's a top fifteen starter. 1367 01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 1: By the end of the year. 1368 01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:11,000 Speaker 4: No, I wouldn't because this stuff is so good, meaning 1369 01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,400 Speaker 4: stuff is so me neither so good, mean neither, but 1370 01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 4: just I agree it's May eighteenth. 1371 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:20,080 Speaker 3: Let's we're not going to put him there yet because again, 1372 01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:21,720 Speaker 3: look look at what Logan Web's done this year in 1373 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,320 Speaker 3: terms of the step backwards, and that was after a 1374 01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:23,920 Speaker 3: full season. 1375 01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:25,800 Speaker 1: So we'll see how he goes. 1376 01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,080 Speaker 3: But right now, top twenty five, wouldn't be surprised to 1377 01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:31,920 Speaker 3: see top fifteen by the end of the year. Final question, 1378 01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:33,520 Speaker 3: and it's one that I love because you know, this 1379 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,520 Speaker 3: is a team that I've just been having a blast 1380 01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,520 Speaker 3: with all year long, and it's from multiple people on 1381 01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,520 Speaker 3: Instagram in twitch. Do we think the Twins will make 1382 01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,840 Speaker 3: the postseason? And if they do, how far can they go? 1383 01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 1: I'll leave that. 1384 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,480 Speaker 3: I think those are two very different answers, so I'll 1385 01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,760 Speaker 3: leave it to you and then I'll fill in the 1386 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:52,640 Speaker 3: blanks there. 1387 01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 4: I've said since the beginning of this season. I don't 1388 01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:57,840 Speaker 4: think the Twins are going to make the playoffs. 1389 01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:58,440 Speaker 1: I don't. 1390 01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:00,919 Speaker 4: I think the White Starts will win the Vision and 1391 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:04,360 Speaker 4: because of that, the Twins won't have a shot to 1392 01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,560 Speaker 4: make the Playoffsky because the Angels are gonna be insane, 1393 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,920 Speaker 4: the Blue Jays and the Rays and the Yankees are 1394 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:13,959 Speaker 4: going to be fighting. I don't see the Twins making 1395 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:16,560 Speaker 4: the playoffs unless they win the division. And I still 1396 01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:18,720 Speaker 4: think that the White Socks are gonna get crazy hot. 1397 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:22,040 Speaker 4: Lanceln's going to return, Eloy is going to return at 1398 01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,440 Speaker 4: least at some point this year. The Bats are going 1399 01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:26,480 Speaker 4: to get hot. They are just a better team in 1400 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,200 Speaker 4: my opinion, than the Twins. And I still have them 1401 01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:32,720 Speaker 4: winning the division, So that would say that I don't 1402 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:34,960 Speaker 4: think the Twins do. But that doesn't take anything away 1403 01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 4: from the Twins because they could actually win, you know, 1404 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,160 Speaker 4: eighty eight games and not make the playoffs and be 1405 01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:44,760 Speaker 4: a great team, but just they didn't win more games 1406 01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,600 Speaker 4: than some of the other teams in the American League. 1407 01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. So it's funny because I agree with you one 1408 01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:51,800 Speaker 3: hundred percent. If it was the traditional playoff structure, I'd 1409 01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,600 Speaker 3: be like, it's gonna be tough. But now I don't 1410 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,000 Speaker 3: even know how to like conceptualize it with the new 1411 01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:00,320 Speaker 3: playoff structure of like, okay, do they have enough? Like 1412 01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:01,840 Speaker 3: where are they going to line up there? I guess 1413 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,160 Speaker 3: if you just talk out loud here and go through 1414 01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,120 Speaker 3: it all, it makes sense that they have to win 1415 01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,120 Speaker 3: the division, right. And my concern is this, I actually 1416 01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:10,840 Speaker 3: think the Twins are going to finish really strong, like 1417 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,080 Speaker 3: you said, I do think they're going to win eighty five, 1418 01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,680 Speaker 3: eighty six, eighty seven games. What's crazy is even in 1419 01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,640 Speaker 3: the expanded postseason, that might not get it done. To 1420 01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:23,160 Speaker 3: your point, what scares me in terms of the Twins 1421 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:27,040 Speaker 3: not really being the favorite of the division still is 1422 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:29,800 Speaker 3: that the White Sox have been as bad as it 1423 01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,600 Speaker 3: could be really right now, you know, like that we 1424 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:34,360 Speaker 3: know what they've been doing. Pitching wise, They've been throwing 1425 01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,680 Speaker 3: Vince Falaskas out there. They've been a lot of their 1426 01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,560 Speaker 3: main guys. Mccott has played six games this year. You 1427 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:42,840 Speaker 3: talk about the other injuries. Andrew Vaughan has been up 1428 01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,120 Speaker 3: and down and has been heard as well, Eloy hurt, 1429 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,680 Speaker 3: Lance Lynn out, and Liam Hendricks has been a disaster. 1430 01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 3: And all that considered, this team is still over five 1431 01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,200 Speaker 3: hundred and eighteen and seventeen. So for everything to be 1432 01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,280 Speaker 3: going wrong Aj Pollock out too, for everything to be 1433 01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:01,720 Speaker 3: going wrong for the White Sox and the Twins only 1434 01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:05,200 Speaker 3: have a two and a half game lead, that's that's 1435 01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:07,160 Speaker 3: just that's just not it. You know, like if they 1436 01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:09,800 Speaker 3: had a ten they need to be like separating themselves 1437 01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,400 Speaker 3: right now. They need to be kicking the White Sox 1438 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,360 Speaker 3: when they're down. You know what it's the equivalent of, 1439 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,280 Speaker 3: to me, Peter is like you know, when you watch 1440 01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:20,120 Speaker 3: a horror movie and the bad guys chasing the person 1441 01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:21,880 Speaker 3: and they turn around, they hit him on the head 1442 01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,440 Speaker 3: with a pan and knock him down and the person 1443 01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,240 Speaker 3: the bad guy falls down and instead of like finishing 1444 01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,520 Speaker 3: him so that he can't chase after you. 1445 01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,080 Speaker 1: They leave him and keep running. 1446 01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,480 Speaker 3: Then the guy gets up and comes after you again, 1447 01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:34,840 Speaker 3: Like why didn't you just finish him? Like that's what 1448 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,000 Speaker 3: I look at with the Twins, Like the bad guy 1449 01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,440 Speaker 3: is down with the White Sox, but he's gonna get 1450 01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,120 Speaker 3: up and he's gonna run him down because they didn't 1451 01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,520 Speaker 3: put him up, they didn't put him away, and they can't. 1452 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 4: I think it was a great way to describe it. 1453 01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,320 Speaker 4: It's not taking anything away from the Twins. The White 1454 01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,600 Speaker 4: Socks are playing it their absolute worse and they're still 1455 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,160 Speaker 4: a game over five hundred, just two and a half 1456 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,439 Speaker 4: games out of the Twins. White Sox are a better team. 1457 01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,720 Speaker 4: They've been there before. I like the Twins. Does Joe 1458 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 4: Ryan continue to have an ar ray and or two? 1459 01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,080 Speaker 4: Probably not, But then again, the Twins have had their 1460 01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,400 Speaker 4: injury issues. You know, Carlos Kray has been on the 1461 01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:09,160 Speaker 4: shelf a little bit. They haven't been completely healthy. But 1462 01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:12,240 Speaker 4: you look at the roster from top to bottom. Game one, 1463 01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:16,360 Speaker 4: it's probably Sonny Gray versus Lucas Gilido or Dylan Cees. 1464 01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:20,320 Speaker 4: Then you have Gilido versus like Joe, Ryan or Bundy. 1465 01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:25,440 Speaker 4: It's just it's not the same lethualness. But with that said, 1466 01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,600 Speaker 4: they're exciting rookies in Royce Lewis. But even a guy 1467 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:31,200 Speaker 4: like Miranda came up hasn't hit deck. He's like one 1468 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,880 Speaker 4: O four. Yeah, but I mean I still believe that him. 1469 01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:37,200 Speaker 4: I just yeah, absolutely started. Yeah the man a second. 1470 01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,040 Speaker 4: But it's also May So that's where I'm at with 1471 01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:43,280 Speaker 4: the Twins. So Arn Buckson is playing out of his mind. 1472 01:04:43,600 --> 01:04:45,320 Speaker 3: He's only playing all your games this year. Like that's 1473 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,640 Speaker 3: the target, right, what if he goes down? And I'm 1474 01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:49,320 Speaker 3: cool with that and I hate saying that, but what 1475 01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:53,080 Speaker 3: if he goes down? I mean then it's yeah, it's tough. 1476 01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,360 Speaker 3: And and again, like there's a lot of reliance here 1477 01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:59,040 Speaker 3: on youngsters. Royce Lewis is filling a role. If Ursalla 1478 01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:01,919 Speaker 3: continues to struggle, then like Lewis's role is gonna gonna 1479 01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:02,600 Speaker 3: tick up even more. 1480 01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,760 Speaker 4: They've got Gordon in the outage Twins fans. Can I 1481 01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:06,560 Speaker 4: ask Twins fans something, how do you like g orshellow 1482 01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:11,440 Speaker 4: so far? I told you, yeah, he has not been great? 1483 01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:12,560 Speaker 4: Garanchez so far? 1484 01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:16,080 Speaker 1: Well is what has Gary been doing? I haven't even checked. 1485 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,919 Speaker 1: I think he's in like two twenty. That's great. Yeah, 1486 01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 1: it's great. 1487 01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,920 Speaker 3: But I think to wrap up on that question, it's like, 1488 01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:27,120 Speaker 3: I think the way I went about it, I just like, 1489 01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:28,760 Speaker 3: I've seen so many of this and I was like, 1490 01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:29,880 Speaker 3: I'm telling you what's gonna happen. 1491 01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:30,680 Speaker 1: They're gonna suck. 1492 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,480 Speaker 3: And it's funny because they could really use Donaldson right now. 1493 01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,840 Speaker 3: And I get it was like a real like a 1494 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:40,480 Speaker 3: reallocation of finances to be able to go get a 1495 01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:42,400 Speaker 3: Correau because I don't think they would have got Correa 1496 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,880 Speaker 3: if they didn't move the Donaldson contract. But man, if 1497 01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:48,120 Speaker 3: money wasn't a factor here Donaldson on this team, I 1498 01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:51,080 Speaker 3: think it looks a lot different because they are giving 1499 01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:53,440 Speaker 3: up a lot at a premium offensive spot. I think 1500 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:56,120 Speaker 3: between the pitching questions, although the pitching is better than 1501 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:57,960 Speaker 3: we thought, and it's gonna be enough to have them 1502 01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:02,400 Speaker 3: hang around, between the pitching questions on top of the 1503 01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,280 Speaker 3: bullpen being eh at times, I love what we've seen 1504 01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,600 Speaker 3: from you on Duran. I don't know if I believe 1505 01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:09,440 Speaker 3: in Amelia Pagan to be able to lock it down 1506 01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:11,080 Speaker 3: to the back end all year long, and you know 1507 01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:12,360 Speaker 3: they could be used tale Rodgers. 1508 01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:13,640 Speaker 1: Now Chris Paddock's hurt. 1509 01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,040 Speaker 3: Injuries have bit the Twins a little bit, and they're 1510 01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,160 Speaker 3: just not as deep as the White Sox I think 1511 01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,600 Speaker 3: in terms of just high end talent, it's not yet. 1512 01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:23,040 Speaker 3: But I think next year they're going to be a 1513 01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:24,840 Speaker 3: really popular pick to win the division. And I think 1514 01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:26,680 Speaker 3: they're going to be playing meaningful games all the way 1515 01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:29,400 Speaker 3: down the stretch, which is still a far cry from 1516 01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:31,280 Speaker 3: what it was last year in Minnesota. 1517 01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,240 Speaker 4: See this is where I was wrong on the Twins. 1518 01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 4: I assume the Guardians would be better than the Twins, 1519 01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 4: but actually I think the Twins are probably a better 1520 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:38,840 Speaker 4: team now than the Guardians. But I also wouldn't be 1521 01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:40,760 Speaker 4: shocked if the Twins still finished third in this division 1522 01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,320 Speaker 4: because the Guardians could get hot. But still I would say, 1523 01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:44,600 Speaker 4: right now, if you put a gun in my head 1524 01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:46,880 Speaker 4: and said Guardians are Twins for second place, I would 1525 01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:47,400 Speaker 4: say twins. 1526 01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:50,720 Speaker 3: So one last question to wrap up on this, Correa 1527 01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:52,560 Speaker 3: comes Zach healthy, which we assume is going to happen. 1528 01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:54,400 Speaker 1: It's like a finger bruise, like we talked about. A 1529 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:58,480 Speaker 1: Buckston looks like he's managing his workload well and he 1530 01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:03,120 Speaker 1: is amazing. So he is like, oh, my. 1531 01:07:03,240 --> 01:07:07,600 Speaker 3: One hundred comes from Waxton, will be top fifteen four production, right, I. 1532 01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,320 Speaker 4: Was talking to gambling device, Like you know, I said 1533 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:14,040 Speaker 4: on record Byron Buckson is one of the greatest players 1534 01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 4: I've ever watched play, and he proves it day in 1535 01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:21,000 Speaker 4: and dale when he plays. 1536 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:25,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, very big distinction there often because the best ability 1537 01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:27,840 Speaker 1: is availability. And then when you turn on. 1538 01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:31,520 Speaker 4: A Minnesota Twins game, he runs like the wind. He 1539 01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:36,280 Speaker 4: can defend almost as well as Andrew Jones. Yeah, he's 1540 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,400 Speaker 4: got eleven home runs in twenty four games. I don't 1541 01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:42,440 Speaker 4: know what's on every game, so every other game I'm 1542 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 4: turning on, he's got a home run. He's one of 1543 01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,760 Speaker 4: the fastest players in baseball. In terms of a package 1544 01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,480 Speaker 4: of tools, it is one of the most incredible players 1545 01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:52,880 Speaker 4: we've ever seen in our sport. Doesn't mean he's the 1546 01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:55,880 Speaker 4: best and doesn't mean that he's the greatest, but in 1547 01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,200 Speaker 4: terms of talent, one of the most talented players I've 1548 01:07:58,240 --> 01:07:59,360 Speaker 4: ever seen play. 1549 01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:00,680 Speaker 1: He's he's up there. 1550 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:03,680 Speaker 3: Man. It is so much fun to watch, and to 1551 01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:05,240 Speaker 3: be able to hit with the power that he does 1552 01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:09,240 Speaker 3: without like moving is unbelievable. My question for you then, 1553 01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:11,560 Speaker 3: is if all those things happen, Joe Ryan continues to 1554 01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,000 Speaker 3: pitch well, Sonny Gray is healthy, and they go out 1555 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:15,800 Speaker 3: and get a starting pitcher. So they go out and 1556 01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:19,479 Speaker 3: make a trade for one more legit starter. Could could 1557 01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,799 Speaker 3: you see them doing it and edging out the White Sox. 1558 01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:24,560 Speaker 4: It's almost like then I have to see what the 1559 01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:26,400 Speaker 4: White Sox do because you've seen the White Sox are 1560 01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:27,679 Speaker 4: gonna add too, right, So it's. 1561 01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,479 Speaker 1: If the White Sox do nothing and the Twins at 1562 01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:30,160 Speaker 1: a big time starter. 1563 01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:33,639 Speaker 4: Yes, we're having a different conversation because it is gonna 1564 01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:34,400 Speaker 4: be that close. 1565 01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,880 Speaker 3: And I wonder, I wonder how urgent it is for 1566 01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,040 Speaker 3: the Twins because they do want to convince Correy at 1567 01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:40,360 Speaker 3: the point. 1568 01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,839 Speaker 1: That's a good point. And look, I'm. 1569 01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:44,960 Speaker 3: Not saying that they need to win at all, but 1570 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:47,840 Speaker 3: go get that guy, show that you're trying to win. 1571 01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:49,720 Speaker 3: Finish the year strong. If you come up short, you 1572 01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,280 Speaker 3: come up short. I think Royce, you know, Royce Lewis 1573 01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:53,840 Speaker 3: is gonna get better and better. I think Karay is 1574 01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:55,519 Speaker 3: going to look and say, hey, we got a healthy 1575 01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:57,360 Speaker 3: year of bucks and they figured out how to manage 1576 01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:59,960 Speaker 3: the workload. The pitching's coming together, The young guys are here. 1577 01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,120 Speaker 3: I want to be a part of this, and he's 1578 01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,600 Speaker 3: made it clear that he's open to it. So it 1579 01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:06,599 Speaker 3: should be interesting to see if they feel that urgency 1580 01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:08,760 Speaker 3: to try to, you know, continue to build that team 1581 01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 3: up and make a move. But that's it, dude. We 1582 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:14,679 Speaker 3: got through nine questions. They're all great questions.
