1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: A lot of complaints from fans yesterday just due to

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: the fact that there were barely any games last night.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: I know, I'm aware they mostly left Monday open for

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: potential rain out situations to reschedule them for last night

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: because aja they had to do that last year when

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: the Mets and Braves had Oh wait, they didn't do

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: that last year. Remember they could have done it earlier

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: in the week and they didn't.

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the thing. They're going to give them

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: Monday or Thursday off. Would you rather have Monday off

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: or Thursday off for most teams?

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: You tell me, if you were playing, what would you want.

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't matter to me, But I mean,

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: either way, you're going to complain about Monday or Thursday.

15
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: Even also, they went with Monday. That was the last

16
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 2: six games are protected.

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: And you can't really split it, right, because then you'd

18
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: create problems if you're trying to do a rain makeup

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: where both teams are going somewhere. Right, I mean, there

20
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: weren't no games, there were still six teams that could

21
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: have been in trouble. Right, For example, if the Raves

22
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: needed to make up a game in Atlanta because they

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: were in a Pennant Race and there was some rain

24
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: out situation. Let's say they had to play the Mets.

25
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: AJ wouldn't have happened. They had a game yesterday, So.

26
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: That's applied to some chance. They took a chance and

27
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: they worked out.

28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: It just kind of sucks when it's the last week

29
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: of the season and it's so so light. I just

30
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: wish there was a different way. That's all just a

31
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: friendly complain.

32
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: Everyone wanted more off days, they got more off days,

33
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: and now they complain about the off days.

34
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: Well, who wants more off days?

35
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: The players, players, right.

36
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: The fans don't want more off days. They want less

37
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: off days. They want games every day.

38
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 3: Yes, yes they do, especially this time of year. Everybody's

39
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: like there's no game one I want to see a

40
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: game exactly.

41
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: It's last week of the season. I mean, we have

Speaker 1: hitting upfowl Territory shop dot com. A lot of work

62
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: behind the scenes was put together. Oh John John said,

63
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: you guys, keep up at work. I bought a lightweight hooddie.

64
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: Thank you, and now let's talk ball.

65
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: Charge about.

66
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: That was fun. We did actually have a really good

67
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: game last night AJ the Padres with a walkoff win

68
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: in the bottom of the eleventh. Being that the other

69
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: two games didn't matter, I mostly just watched this one

70
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 1: and it was great. The Padres like to keep things

71
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: exciting for their fans this year, and they do so,

72
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: even down to the buzzer of when they clinched this

73
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: scenario against a Brewers team that was putting up a fight.

74
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: So what do you think about the Padres making it

75
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: to the postseason for the fourth time in the past

76
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: six years after not being that kind of team for

77
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: a long period of time.

78
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: Good for them. Listen, this is a team that has

79
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: been there. They've done it. They know how they win

80
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: in the postseason. They've made their run. They haven't gotten

81
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: to the final hurdle. They haven't been in the World

82
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: Series in a while, but they made some runs. They've

83
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: beaten They beat the Dodgers not long ago. So this

84
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: is a team that can make a run. If Pavetta pitches,

85
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: well you Darvis pitch as well, Dylan Seize figures it

86
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: out in the postseason, and we all know about their

87
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: stack bullpen. So congratulations to the Padres and Mike Shild

88
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: and aj Preller and everyone out there, because they do

89
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: have some of the best fans in the game. They

90
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: show up every game and it was an awesome scene

91
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 2: last night, So good for them. Now let's see if

92
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: they can do some with it. Because they're more than

93
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: likely going to have to travel to Wrigley Field. It's

94
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: gonna be a little chilly there. Can they win two

95
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: out of three against the Cubs and then go play

96
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: possibly the Brewers.

97
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: It's good, good playoff matchup. I mean, I think they're

98
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: better than the Cubs. Can they score enough runs? Can

99
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 3: the Cubs score enough runs? You know, last night they

100
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: got a home run from Jose Galasias. I don't think

101
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 3: you're gonna be seeing a lot of homers in the

102
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 3: playoffs from Jose Galasias. But they are a team that

103
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: needs to scrap and claw. They're not going to strike

104
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 3: out that much. Freddy Peralta didn't have any strikeouts. He

105
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,119
Speaker 3: was only going like seventy five pitches. So to me,

106
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 3: I think it's something that if Pavetta gives you five

107
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: in Game one, which Mike Schiltz said most likely he's

108
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 3: lining up for Game one, I think they I think

109
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 3: they end up taking the series. If they can't. If

110
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 3: your starter can't get you deep enough, they're gonna have

111
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 3: a tough time scoring enough runs. Just they have to

112
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: score more runs.

113
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: How about on the road, So aj the Padres are

114
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: forty eight and twenty eight at home. They had their

115
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: sixty seventh sellout last night. It's playoff vibes every night there.

116
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: They're thirty eight and forty three away from home. The

117
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: Cubs are forty six and twenty nine at home, forty

118
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: two and thirty nine on the road. These two teams

119
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: are likely to match up in the Wildcard round, like

120
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: you mentioned, and guess where all two or three of

121
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: the games are going to be played.

122
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: They're gonna be in really yeah, So listen, it could

123
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: be an advantage for the Padres. Actually, if the wind's

124
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 2: blowing in and the Cubs, who are built more on power,

125
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: they can't hit their home runs. The Padres has done

126
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: with less power the entire year, so maybe it's in

127
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 2: advantage for him. It's gonna be chilly more than likely

128
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: in Chicago, we'll see, I mean, listen. Homefield advantage means

129
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: almost nothing sometimes in the postseason. Sometimes it means a lot.

130
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: Sometimes it doesn't. Was the twenty nineteen World Series where

131
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: the road team won every game, so and then you

132
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: could go back some years in eighty seven to ninety

133
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: one where the Twins won all their home games in

134
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 2: the postseason and one World Series. So sometimes it means some,

135
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: sometimes it doesn't.

136
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 3: I know this.

137
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: I like to be in the road team a lot

138
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: of times because if you score early, it puts so

139
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: much pressure on the home team.

140
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: Ft fam, it's still time for you to check out

141
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: what bathing suit you're wearing and why it's not Fair Harbor.

142

Speaker 1: foul twenty so they know ft sent you and hey,

159
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: you got to jump this team early because most likely

160
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: you're going to get the fearsome. Forsome used to be

161
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: five now four that are going to get rolled out

162
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: right Morey Holan's been sick this year and the least

163
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: talked about of the group. Estrada's in there. And then

164
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: of course you've got the new edition Mason Miller and

165
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: Robert Suarez to lock things down. Kratz. That's as good

166
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: as it gets bullpen wise. If they're going to win games.

167
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean, they might win some lower scoring games, and

168
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: they're capable of doing that if the starters can get

169
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: them through a little bit early on. It was cool

170
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: also that the walk off hit yesterday occurs from one

171
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: of their trade deadline pickups and Freddy for me and

172
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: I watched a good chunk of the celebration. Couple things

173
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: that stood out. One Manny Machado's shirtless running with different alcohol.

174
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: He was passed around tequila. I was like, I don't

175
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: know if the sponsors are gonna like that. I saw

176
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: a lot of tequila, certain tequila.

177
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: Brand getting probably doesn't. Oh, he definitely doesn'tee with a

178
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: unique bottle. I would forget what my kind's called but.

179
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: Class a a zool. Yeah, I don't think they're a sponsor.

180
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: And if Manny got a call, he'd be like, cool,

181
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: I've given you fifteen years my career. I don't give

182
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: a crap. And also they were yelling for aj Preller,

183
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 1: you know, because think about it, there's so many players

184
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: on that team that wouldn't be there if aj Preller

185
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: weren't a psychopath at the trade deadline and loves to

186
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: make deals like that, all.

187
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: Right, but he made deals for guys who have who have?

188
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: Who have? You know, they're they're controllable. It's not like

189
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 3: like everybody's gonna look at this lineup and they're gonna

190
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: say wow, you know, look at all the money and

191
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 3: they spend on their lineup in free agency trade deadline,

192
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 3: you're talking about being a psycho. At the trade deadline,

193
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 3: most fans are like, we gotta go get the best

194
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 3: available free agent, whoever, whoever that is, you know, whoever's

195
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: gonna become a free agent. Look at this list. Mason

196
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: Miller controllable for three years. JP Sears still has control.

197
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 3: Ryan O'Hearn is going to be a free agent. Uh

198
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 3: Leriano has been one of the best pickups of all

199
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: these guys, Nestor Cortez. I think it's a free agent

200
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 3: unless he has one more year for me, and I

201
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: think it's for four or five more years. And I'm

202
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 3: not sure about Will Wagner. Like they like teams that

203
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 3: are like, hey, we'll just get a bunch of guys.

204
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: They got a bunch of guys, but they got a

205
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: bunch of good players too, and just decimated their farm

206
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: system to do exactly what they did last night, pop bottles.

207
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, Loriano's a free agent the end of the year.

208
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: No, he's got one more Oh he does, he's got

209
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: an option. Yeah, and I think they're gonna pick it up.

210
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 2: Okay, well then, but uh, their closer is a free

211
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: agent at the end.

212
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 3: Of the year.

213
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna opt out.

214
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: Suarez is gonna be more likely gone. That's why they

215
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: went out and got Mason Miller. Dylan Seize is a

216
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: free agent at the end of the year. So Michael

217
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 2: King is a free agent at the end of the year.

218
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: So they have they have a lot of holes they

219
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: still have to fill. Yeah, they did a nice job

220
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: of the trade deadline, but they went and got Mason

221
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: Miller in case, he either starts or can close for

222
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: him next year. JP Series is an option for him

223
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: next year. Nestor's gone, Loreano's I don't know what they'll

224
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: do with him, or Hearn's probably gone. So they do

225
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: have some holes they have to fill. That's that's why

226
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: the trade Dylan was important. He went out and got controllable. Yeah,

227
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 2: they gave up a lot, but they're trying to set

228
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 2: this up for the long term. This is the best

229
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 2: run in Padre's history.

230
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeahlexwirez is a good example. His contract is unique. He

231
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: can opt out or take eight million dollars for twenty

232
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: six and eight million for twenty seven, so either option

233
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: for two sixteen or opts out. He's obviously opting out

234
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: from that. So they're well aware they're stacked with bullpen arms.

235
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: I mean, this was five with Jason Adam, who I

236
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: think is still under control for maybe one or two

237
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: more seasons, although I don't know what his timetable is.

238
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: But anyway, it's a special group. It was a really

239
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: special trade deadline, and for some teams the trade deadline

240
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: did not work out. I think it's safe to save

241
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: for the Padres, the trade deadline did work out. So

242
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with them. Let's talk Braves for

243
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: two minutes. They had a game yesterday. Osi Albees fractured

244
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 1: his left hamlet bone. That is not good. He fractured

245
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: that left wrist in twenty twenty four and then some

246
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: people think that's why he had a really really slow start.

247
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: So now again he's going to be coming off a

248
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: major injury for twenty twenty six. And this is why.

249
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the team didn't say this even before the injury,

250
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: but you don't talk about an option until you get

251
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: to the offseason. So there is a chance that the

252
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: Braves move on. I doubt it, given how much of

253
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: a bargain he's been. I think there's multiple years left,

254
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: but that sucks. Speak of the year. It's like garbage time.

255
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: And I mean, I think he would be back for

256
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,479
Speaker 1: spring training.

257
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: But it's a tough It's a month. It's a month

258
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: I had this. It's a month like this is not

259
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 2: a major injury, yep, this is I have the scar

260
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: I had it happen. It's a month. You're you can

261
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: be back in less than that, but why rush it.

262
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: It's a month to six weeks of just you really

263
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: do nothing. They cut it out and then it's just

264
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 2: healing the scar and there's nothing more to it. It's

265
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 2: not a it's not a when Mark Bowman, who should

266
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: know better, rights that this is a major injury, it's

267
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: not a major injury.

268
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: This is a.

269
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: Month at most, and it happened in the last week

270
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: of this season, so this should not affect them picking

271
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: up his option. That was That was not a good tweet.

272
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: And the only thing that sucks is Albie's was going

273
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,599
Speaker 3: to play one hundred and sixty two games. He's I

274
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: don't think he's ever done that in his career. I'd

275
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: have to look it up. I didn't look it up

276
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: before this, but he was on pace. He had played

277
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: every game so far. And you know those braves, dudes,

278
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 3: they they all want to play out play there every

279
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: single day.

280
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: Big stake celebration for Patrick Zelepsky and friends. He is

281

Speaker 2: But no congratulations to Patrick. Yeah, this is a big

290
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 2: deal for Tampa. They're supposed to be keeping the team

291
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: in Tampa. We'll see where they find a spot to

292
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: do it. They're supposed to have public and private funding

293
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: for a new stadium. Hopefully it works out. But yeah,

294
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: this is great for Patrick and some other people that

295
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 2: I know, the Rick Workman who's in this group. It's uh,

296
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: it's it's pretty cool that they've they've got this done,

297
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 2: got it out from under Sternberg. Now we'll see what

298
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: they can do with it.

299
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: If it doesn't work out, we're available, right, We're still available.

300
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: Orlando's available, but I don't think that's going to happen.

301
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: Okay, what's going to change.

302
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: The previous contract is now Nolan void the Saint Pete

303
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 3: whatever they were going to do with the whole like

304
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 3: all the living area and everything around where the stadium

305
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: is now that's all because it's a new owner.

306
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: Well, that deal got broken anyway, then.

307
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 2: The race couldn't pull up their end of the bargain.

308
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 2: That was a long time ago.

309
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 3: Oh I thought that guy. I thought it was just

310
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 3: tabled until he could get the money, and then that's

311
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 3: when he sold it. So it just got because Stu

312
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 3: didn't bring up his portion of the money.

313
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: Crats.

314
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,360

334
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: some ft breaking news. We learn that MLB officially will

335
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: implement a challenge system for balls and strikes in the

336
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six season. The league's Competition Committee voted, and

337
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: it is happening. Robot umpiring begins, not with every pitch.

338
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: Teams received two challenges to dispute calls by the home

339
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: plate umpire, two per team. That puts a little heat

340
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: on the lineup AJ So what do you think is

341
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: to the right number? We knew this was going to happen,

342
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: so let's go over the details.

343
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: We knew this was gonna happen. This is like the

344
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: biggest non surprise of all time. What do I think

345
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: will happen? I think it'll make umpires lock in for

346
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: nine innings if there's still challenges on the board. I

347
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: think sometimes when you get it laid into games and

348
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 2: the games you get out of hand, sometimes umpires open

349
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: up the strike zone a little bit, try to get

350
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: games moving. That'll be taken away. And I also think

351
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: it's gonna be fascinating to see who's allowed to challenge

352
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 2: and who's not. Most teams that I've talked to about it,

353
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: so they don't want pitchers challenging. It's mostly catchers and hitters.

354
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: But do you have your nine hole hitter challenging when

355
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: it could cost Aaron Judge or Wan so Too a

356
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: pitch later in the game. I don't know, it's gonna

357
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: be fascinating to see, but you know it's here. It's

358
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 2: not going anywhere, and we knew it was coming. So

359
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 2: welcome coming from the nine hole hitter.

360
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 3: You better be right. It better be an egregious, egregious

361
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 3: mistake and not like that fifty to fifty. The reason

362
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 3: it's a fifty two percent, I think was the challenges

363
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 3: is because they're fifty to fifty pitches. Very few umpires

364
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 3: are missing regularly pitches that are this far off or

365
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: this far on. It's the borderline pitches, and so it's

366
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: a fifty to fifty pitch. I think it's great because

367
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 3: it eliminates those massively huge mistakes. Last night, Roberto Ortiz

368
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: was calling pitches that were let or high, and the

369
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 3: strike zone is below that. I think it's gonna be

370
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: interesting to see how it goes. But something AJ brought

371
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 3: up was the length of game. Umpires start to kind

372
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 3: of stretch it a little bit. Okay, I get it.

373
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: You know we got to move, We got to keep

374
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 3: the game moving a little bit. It's an eight run game.

375
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: Is it going to lengthen those games? Are we going

376
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 3: to have more offense? Because the balls now on the plate,

377
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 3: we'll see.

378
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: I think that they should call it the end Hernandez

379
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: Abs Challenge system. It's probably gonna have a sponsor or

380
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: something to it. But I'll always remember Angel calling out,

381
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: why att Langford on three pitches in another planet? And

382
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen anymore. You challenge that. But

383
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: for me, Aja, when you have just two challenges, it

384
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: does put heat on you early on in the game.

385
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: You better be right, and you mentioned the stars. Let's

386
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: flip it. What if you are Juan Soto and you

387
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,719
Speaker 1: take a lot of really close pitches and you're up

388
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: for your second AB middle of the game and you

389
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: say challenge, you're wrong because it was a borderline pitch

390
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: and you were off, and then later in the game

391
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: you don't have that to use do you think that

392
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: there will be some pissed off teammates? And I'm just

393
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: using Sodo as an example, but this could happen with

394
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: anyone in the league, right if there was a challenge

395
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: blown earlier on in a game where a player felt

396
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: like it was definitely his side and it wasn't, and

397
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: then they're aud of challenges at a time when they

398
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: really need one.

399
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: That's why the strategy those whole thing's gonna be fascinating.

400
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the whole thing of this is who's

401
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: going to challenge when? And who's going to be really

402
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 2: good at and who isn't And we'll see after a

403
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: few months who should be and coaches and managers will

404
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: make adjustments and then they'll go from there. But yeah,

405
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: that's the whole thing, is the strategy of who and

406
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 2: Wayne gets a challenge because if you miss, you can

407
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: screw your teammates.

408
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: And we know that front offices love to make everything

409
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: into an advanced stat and a number and a probability.

410
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: So Kratz, do you think there will actually be a

411
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: strategy implemented by teams like will a front office sit

412
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: down with the coaching staff? Then coaching staff sit down

413
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: with players and say hey, this is how it's going

414
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: to work on our team. These are the scenarios where

415
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: you have to look out. Of course, again, like you mentioned,

416
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: there might be one where it's so obvious the entire

417
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: world except for the person behind on plate, knows it.

418
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: But in many other cases, I think players are going

419
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: to be looking to leadership for when they are comfortable

420
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: to make the challenge.

421
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 3: I mean players should have the confidence that they know

422
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: the strike zone, catchers, hitters, pitchers they just need to

423
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 3: stay out of this one hundred percent. Pitchers stay out

424
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 3: of it. But they have to have that confidence. But

425
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 3: you gain that confidence because the front office is like,

426
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: go for it. I'm guaranteeing you. Just from talking to

427
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 3: the people with the rays, They're saying, hey, you know what,

428
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 3: let's test the limits on this. Let's see let's let's

429
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 3: learn it, let's try to see what we can do

430
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: early in the season, spring training, all that stuff with this,

431
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 3: because they're not afraid of making mistakes. If your front

432
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 3: office and your coaching staff comes to the players and goes, hey,

433
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: everybody but Aaron Judge and Ben Rice, who you know,

434
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 3: Cody Bellinger, the three four five guys in our lineup.

435
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 3: Don't don't challenge, don't challenge anything. Then you're gonna be

436
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 3: like up there, like, well, I think it's a ball,

437
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: but I don't want to get in trouble. So it's

438
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: really how I mean, it's like anything. Players, as confident

439
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 3: as you can be, you're still looking to your coaches

440
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: and your front office like, oh, you're pissed at me

441
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: because I challenge that. Well, I thought it was a ball,

442
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 3: so that's why I challenged it.

443
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: Jeff Passen just tweeted some big miss from last night,

444
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: and he's right, and there's people in the chat talking

445
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: about it too. The Padres Brewers game had plenty of

446
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: pretty obvious misses, and Passing said they're typically around one

447
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: thousand missed calls a week, saying that the challenge system

448
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: is going to get plenty of use. We are going

449
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: to have games where there's like twelve fourteen challenges because

450
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: the umpire keeps missing and the teams are on the money, right,

451
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen all the time. We're also gonna

452
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: have games where maybe only five or six challenges get

453
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: used because teams blow them early and they're wrong. But

454
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some games aj where a bad umpire

455
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: gets exposed and that's actually going to go viral. People

456
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: are gonna be like, look, they're using twelve challenges from

457
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: one team.

458
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 2: Nothing's going to happen, nothing's going to change. So I

459
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: don't know why it's a big deal. Yeah, it'll affect

460
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: the game, but it might slow it down a little bit.

461
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: But it's like the umpires. I mean, it's not like

462
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: the top five routed umpires get to go to the

463
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 2: World Series every year. I mean, that's the way it

464
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 2: was supposed to be, but it hasn't happened. So I

465
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 2: don't know what it's gonna change other than maybe the

466
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: length of the game and the challenges, and but everyone

467
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 2: already knows what the good umpires and the bad empires are,

468
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 2: so I don't think it's And what's the margin of error?

469
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: I mean, what's the margin of error from the strike zone?

470
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: If it's this far out and the umpire calls it

471
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,239
Speaker 2: a ball, we challenge it, right, I mean, or they

472
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: said at one point it was half an inch or something,

473
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 2: So what's what's the Because even the things in tennis

474
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: that they use aren't one hundred percent accurate, So how

475
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: do we know this little thing they're doing is I

476
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 2: don't know. There's a lot of a lot of questions.

477
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: There are some questions in the chat, so I'll dressed

478
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: a couple of them right now. One is shading MLB

479
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: for trying to trim down game time and then saying

480
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: this is going to extend it. I'm going to go

481
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: hard against that comment. They have done a really nice

482
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: job trimming down game time with the pitch clock. That's

483
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: dead time that pitchers taking an hour between pitches. We

484
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: had plenty of offenders like that back in the day,

485
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: and you'd have certain batters taking a ton of time

486
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: in between pitches. To me, this is different and also

487
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: from what I've seen, unless it's going to be something different,

488
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: we're talking like five is seconds to get the response,

489
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: So I don't think you're going to add that much

490
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: time Kratz. If you get a challenge and it has

491
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: to be instant, this is not replay where you look

492
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: at the manager they have like fifteen seconds they got

493
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: to come up with it. This is instant. And if

494
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: it's not instant and from the player himself, nothing to

495
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: do with the coaches, then we move on. So let's

496
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: say there are ten challenges in a game, and let's

497
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 1: just say it takes ten seconds total for the player

498
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: to signal it and then the call going to the computer.

499
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: That's one hundred seconds. That's not even two minutes. So

500
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: if you think this is contradictory to what MLB is

501
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: trying to do, you're damn wrong. It's going to be

502
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: entertaining for fans. That's a two minutes I'll sign up for.

503
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 3: Go to a Triple A game. There's a week left,

504
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 3: there's half a week left. Go to a Triple A

505
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 3: game and watch it. I went to an Iron Pigs

506
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: game about two or three weeks ago, and there was

507
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 3: three challenges. Umpire was right on one, the players were

508
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 3: right on the other two, and there was also two

509
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 3: where the hitter took strike three, took one step, looked

510
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 3: in the in the dugout and the umpire and then

511
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 3: he turned around and was like no, no, no, I

512
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 3: want to challenge, and the umpire was like no, no, no,

513
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 3: Like it looked like he was saying, you looked into

514
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 3: the dugout and they gave you. So it's like umpire's

515
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 3: discretion if you took too long, because it was kind

516
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 3: of quick. But it wasn't as quick as the other ones,

517
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: or if someone else gave you the gave you the

518
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 3: oh go ahead challenge it it was low or it

519
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 3: was you know, obviously in and out you can't see

520
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 3: from the dugout. But so I saw it where you

521
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,159
Speaker 3: don't have They don't always get it if it's not

522
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 3: in on time.

523
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 1: Thoughts on that.

524
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got to be quick. It's gotta be quick

525
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: it it's gotta be quick. It's got to be it's

526
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 2: supposed to be quick on the TV and on the scoreboard.

527
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's gonna effect. It's not gonna

528
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 2: make the game that much longer. It's just gonna make

529
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 2: people pay attention more. Like I said, I've talked umpires

530
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: about this and they just say, hey, it's gonna make

531
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 2: us walk in for nine innings. And if god forbid,

532
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: a guy gets some big couple wrong early, they're gonna

533
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 2: make it in their head and make it a little

534
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: bit strange. But this is baseball in twenty twenty six.

535
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 2: This is this is what we're throwing out there, and

536
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 2: I hope it's for the positive. I think it will be.

537
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 3: My question My question is, and obviously this is rules

538
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: stuff and we'll have it ironed out, but you have

539
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 3: it instantly on the bench. You can have it instantly.

540
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 3: Track man has it. That's how they're getting it. You know,

541
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 3: they have the Hawkeye system. All that stuff is instant.

542
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 3: If you're the catcher, can you have something where bang

543
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 3: you look at it and you're looking over with your

544
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 3: hand up. Can they have a green light from the

545
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 3: dugout where it's telling you, you know where the system

546
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,959
Speaker 3: that you have in your dugout can tell you if

547
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 3: it was a ball or strike. I'm not I'm thinking

548
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 3: that's probably against the rules. But is that allowed? Like

549
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 3: or or are they going to get in trouble for

550
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 3: doing that?

551
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: Wait? Say that again. I was fighting with people online.

552
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 3: If the pitch comes in and you're like, you know

553
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: it's that fifty to fifty ball, you know it's close,

554
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 3: the catcher basically like turns and he has his hand up.

555
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:36,479
Speaker 3: He's turning to his dugout to give the challenge. And

556
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 3: if it's a green light and a dugout, yes, go

557
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 3: for it. Because they have the pitch instantly. They have

558
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 3: the pitch instantly on their own system in the dugout.

559
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 3: Tell me.

560
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 2: They don't trouble they banded it.

561
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 3: You can't. You don't can't. They don't have talking about one.

562
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about on the camera. I'm talking about

563
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 3: in their own your own track man system. It populates

564
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 3: if you're watching it on the iPad. I get it.

565
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: The iPads now don't have that. Is that using too

566
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: much technology?

567
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: No, you don't have that right now?

568
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: Have that?

569
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: They can't do that right now. They're not going to

570
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: add that.

571
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 3: The teams have it, just not in the dugout. Could

572
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: you have a system where would that break the rules?

573
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: Yes?

574
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't have that though.

575
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're not doing You're not gonna be allowed

576
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 1: to have that. Also, if you even see a catcher

577
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 1: go like that. This is where the umpire's job is

578
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: going to expanse. If you're an ump aja and you

579
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: see a catcher catch a ball and get a little

580
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: pissed and go like this, you're gonna be like, Nope,

581
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: can't challenge it. You looked over to your dugout, right,

582
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: I think that's part of it. You have to be

583
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: the one to make the call. The coaches are not

584
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: involved with it.

585
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: They don't have track man in their dugout. They can't

586
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: have like they don't have instantaneous information. That was the

587
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 2: whole Astros red sox iphoned, I watch Bang the trash

588
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,959
Speaker 2: can all that stuff. That That was what they eliminated.

589
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: A good question by uh one of our director, Jeremy

590
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 1: bind the scenes said, can a dugout whistle or do something?

591
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, but how do they know for sure?

592
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: They don't? You're right, I mean, what's the vantage point

593
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: in the dugout?

594
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: But if they want to be wrong, then they've done.

595
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 2: Everyone blames that whoever whistle.

596
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: Don't you think the catcher has a better vantage point

597
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: than anyone in the dugout? Anyway? Always you would think, yeah, okay, So.

598
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be to have the best

599
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 2: vantage points.

600
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be fascinating. Sorry, I'm just

601
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: getting into it online with people that are now trying

602
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: to take the game back and say if they don't

603
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: like the pitch clock, they probably don't like instant replay.

604
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean, let's just strip everything and have eight hour

605
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: games again, because I called games during that time period

606
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: in a normal game would be ninety hours. Ft fan

607
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: Superpower believes that every human has one hundred year potential

608
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: and they're going to help you get there. I like

609
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: the sweatshirt, Aer Kratz, and I also love the way

610
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: that Superpower takes care of its members.

611
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, you go get your lab test. You become the

612
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 3: best you. You be a member of this group, and

613
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 3: your test will come back. It's unlocking things that you

614
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 3: didn't know about yourself. Off. This is stuff that players

615
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 3: used all the time. You can do it now too.

616

627
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: Your Blueprint Activated with Superpower Looking Ahead, I think we

628
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: have to start with the Trade and Cleveland, right, Okay,

629
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: because the season series is on the line too, so Cleveland,

630
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: so they need to win one more and then they

631
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: have the season series, which.

632
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: Means one out of three. Then they're two down with

633
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 2: three to play, so they have to Cleveland has to

634
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: win the series at the middlem.

635
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: But they don't have to sweep them, but.

636
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: They have to win this. If they win two out

637
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 2: of three, then they have they control their own destiny.

638
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: Okay, the big one here is can Gavin Williams take

639
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: down Trek Schooble If not really good man, he has been,

640
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: I agree, if not. Game two features Biby and Jack Flaherty,

641
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: which I think is kind of a toss of Byby's

642
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: been much better again lately.

643
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 2: Parker America or Messi has been really good.

644
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: Messi has been good for Cleveland.

645
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: Whoever for Detroit.

646
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: Might be Kaider Montero. I think they've got the edge

647
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: on that third game, right, who with Messick fornbelievable? Right?

648
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,959
Speaker 2: If Gavin Williams can can land his curveball, he's going

649
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 2: to give the Tigers fits because they don't hit the

650
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: curveball very well and his curveball is one of the

651
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: best in the game. And last time they faced Schoobley,

652
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: they held him. They only scored one run, but they

653
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 2: beat it. They won the game in the long game.

654
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 2: So can they hold the Tigers down? Because the Tiger's

655
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: offense has been struggling, So can they hold him down?

656
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 2: Get to a bull that can be got in the

657
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 2: Tigers versus the Cleveland bullpen. The whole key is can

658
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: the Guardian starters keep it close until the Guardians hoping

659
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: gets into the game. That's kind of how it's how

660
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: they have to win. And if you look, was the

661
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 2: seventeenth straight games where Cleveland starters had given up two

662
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: arned runs or less. It's pretty good. And they're home,

663
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: and they're home, and they're giving away free tickets and

664
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: they want or no fees or something. There was a

665
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: whole big thing about how they're trying to get people

666
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 2: there for their last two home stands, and good for you, Cleveland,

667
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 2: but Cleveland, show up. Come on, Cleveland, show up for

668
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: this team. Where they're at, where they've put you, I mean,

669
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 2: come on, show up. I was there, I've been there

670
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: when Jacobs Field, Progressive Field has been packed. Show up

671
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: and make it fun again to go to Cleveland Baseball

672
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: because they have them, And then they have Texas coming

673
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: in and Texas is already out of it. So listen,

674
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: you win this series, you got a great chance to

675
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: go not only do the postseason, but win the division.

676
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: How many people make the two and a half hour

677
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: drive from Detroit, isn't it two and a half hours?

678
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 2: Issue to to an hour?

679
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it should be a few. Yeah. I think

680
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very busy there, especially tonight, because if

681
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm in Detroit and I'm like, I'm gonna try and

682
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: catch one game, I want to see school.

683
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 3: This is a must win for the Tigers. You can't.

684
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 3: You can't lose the Schoobale game. You can't lose. That's it. Look,

685
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 3: if it was the third game in the series, maybe

686
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: it wouldn't be as much of a must win. But

687
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 3: they just sat through an entire off day thinking we

688
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 3: didn't play very well. Okay, we still have a one

689
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 3: game lead. Scooble Tonight, he might he might go all nine.

690
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 3: Hinch might have to drag him off the mound. To me,

691
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 3: he's that kind of guy, and that's how they win

692
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 3: this game.

693
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: Cards Van Cane and the Chat said, why not Detroit

694
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: and Cleveland both make it and Houston misses the can't

695
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: that's possible. But actually I was looking last night. I

696
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: think the Astro schedule, so they're in Sacramento for three

697
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: a's are good. I mean, that's not a pushover Seas.

698
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: But Houston's got their big boys pitching in that one,

699
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: and then they finished with three against the Angels. I mean,

700
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: if you can't win four or five out of six

701
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: of those last six, then you probably don't deserve to

702
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: make it anyway.

703
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: But Cleveland has the tiebreaker over Houston.

704
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: Boston's still in play too, like we talked about.

705
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: But Boston has the tiebreaker over Houston, I know, and

706
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 2: I think they have it over Cleveland too. I'm not

707
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: one hundred percent sure on that.

708
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: Okay, here here's my thing.

709
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 2: The other game, O, go ahead, go ahead.

710
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, we need a cheat sheet

711
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 3: to figure out who has the tiebreaker on who that's

712
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 3: it all. I know have it over the Mets.

713
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: Okay, and the Diamondbacks and that X right, all right,

714
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: So what's the other one you're looking at?

715
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: Well, here's my thing. The Reds and the Pirates play right, yep.

716
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 2: Brady Singer has been outstanding, but the Reds have one

717
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 2: huge advantage in this because they're checker. Who are they

718
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: chasing the Mets. Basically, they start over an hour and

719
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 2: a half of form. If they can jump on the

720
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 2: Pirates and score some runs and get a four or

721
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: five nothing eat early, and the Mets are sitting in

722
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: regularly going, oh my gosh, they're winning. We have to win. Like,

723
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: the pressure shifts significantly. This is where it an advantage

724
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 2: to be on the East Coast because you can put

725
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 2: up a number and a score, especially for like Houston.

726
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 2: They're in Sacramento, they're already gonna know how the Guardians

727
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 2: and Tiger before they even kick off, they're gonna be

728
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 2: looking going, oh man, Cleveland one or Detroit one. All right,

729
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: we can win and we're good, or we don't they

730
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: or you know whatever.

731
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: Oh man, but that's bad. You're saying it can be bad, yeah.

732
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 2: Because you look up and you say, oh crap, they've

733
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,359
Speaker 2: already won. Especially if you're the Mets, you're like, oh man,

734
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: the Red's already one. So basically because they're tied, but

735
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 2: the Mets are really one game behind because of the tiebreaker,

736
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 2: they look up and say the Mets are up four

737
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: to nothing in the third inning, five nothing in third inning.

738
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 2: We gotta win or we're two games out with five

739
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 2: to play.

740
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: That's tough.

741
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 2: That's tough, man, knowing that you have not only they

742
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 2: have the Cubs, and then who the Mets finished with

743
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 2: someone else? Pretty difficult. Oh the Marlins. We're lining up

744
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 2: the rotation him.

745
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: So yeah, they play an hour later. It's an hour later,

746
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: they'll be ahead. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati start at six point

747
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: forty Eastern time. Pittsburgh does have a skeens game in

748
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: this series. For Cincinnati, they gotta score runs too. Oh

749
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: you know he's pitching tonight for Pittsburgh. Kratz's boy. Yea,

750
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: oh Biado. He's got good numbers. He's pitched well, he's

751
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: pitched well.

752
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 3: He's coming back from injury. The Pirates. I'm surprised they're

753
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,479
Speaker 3: actually starting him. He's a starter, but the Pirates would

754
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 3: like ease him back in the major league play and

755
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 3: oh wait no, that's probably Chandler.

756
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 1: The Pirates are so random. They either like they'll either

757
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: sweep Cincinnati here or they're gonna get swept. Hey a

758
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: Wikler reminder that you can get tickets for the Playmaker's Classic.

759
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: It's February eighteenth, twenty twenty six, and you're like, what,

760
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: that's so far away. But if you're trying to plan

761
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: your spring training trip, then check out the Playmaker's Classic.

762
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: We highly recommend it in downtown Phoenix. It's the fourth

763
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: annual Playmakers Class they've already done for of these now

764
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: run by the Players Trust, and it's the thirtieth anniversary

765
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 1: this year of the Players Trust. So it is I

766
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: think one of the premier ways to actually not just

767
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: meet and greet players, but actually spend time with them

768
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: throughout the evening. Many of them there really kind of

769
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: just letting loose for a few hours, enjoying themselves and

770
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: hanging out with the vip you fans that are there.

771
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 1: So if you want to check it out, Players Trust

772
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:32,960

773
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: all night, and the players don't just show up for

774
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: five minutes and leave. They're there for the entire night.

775
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 3: I said it last time we talked about this. They

776
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 3: want to be there. They understand that the money that's raised,

777
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 3: what it's going for, and what a great cause of

778
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 3: what all the stuff that Players Trust does. They want

779
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 3: to be there. It's a unique environment. It's not a

780
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 3: paid appearance type of environment, which can kind of be disingenuous.

781
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 3: This is this is cool.

782
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll be prizes, auctions, all kinds of things going

783

790
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: slap and I want to shout out our friends part

791
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: of the FT network. Baseball America. They threw out their

792
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: big awards over the last twenty four hours. So yesterday

793
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: they announced Player of the Year Connor Griffin. This is

794
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: for the minor leagues in the Pirates organization. Brilliant Year,

795
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: super Young, Bright Future. And then today they announced joonahtan

796
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: is the picture of the Year. Life comes at you fast. Joanatongue,

797
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: You're the minor league pitcher of the Year and now

798
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: the Mets need you.

799
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what happens. Connor Griffins got a chance to

800
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 2: make an impact with the Pirates at some point, and

801
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 2: Jonah Tong is already making an impact with the Mets.

802
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: Just had Mendos to say how important he's been to them.

803
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 2: So we'll see if he gets into the postseason, if

804
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 2: he gets a chance to pitch. But it's pretty cool

805
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 2: for both those young men, and congratulations.

806
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: And we interviewed Connor Griffin right after the announcement was

807
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: made on Hot Sheet yesterday, so let's give some love

808
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: to Hot Sheet and give you a little clip from it.

809
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 4: Outfield definitely comes more natural to me, but being a short,

810
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 4: I just I just I just want to make plays,

811
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 4: and so when those kind of in between balls are

812
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 4: right behind me, I just I feel like I'm a

813
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 4: center fielder again. I go back and try to track

814
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 4: them down. But I think I think it is it's cool.

815
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 4: It's really cool how outfield and in field kind of

816
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 4: worked together. I feel like I feel like they stuck

817
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 4: me a short most of the year just because, you know,

818
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 4: kept my my footwork sharp and if I needed to

819
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 4: go to the outfield, I could. But I think in

820
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 4: spring training they really didn't know whether I was gonna

821
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 4: play centerfield or sure s out there, just giving me

822
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 4: reps at both spots. And then when the season started,

823
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 4: they said, hey, let's sick it short and we'll let

824
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 4: you play some centerfield if you want. But but I

825
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 4: spent most of the year short and I loved it.

826
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 1: You like the graphics, Krats, I did.

827
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 3: I like that background sick A big shout out to jeriber.

828
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: Yep producer director, behind the scenes putting Hatchet together. But

829
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 1: it was cool to get Knor Griffin on the show.

830
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 1: And Crats, don't worry. I stepped in to ask the classic, Hey,

831
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: I did it in a unique way. But are you

832
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: gonna rescue Pittsburgh and make the Pirates a playoff team again?

833
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: And are you talking to Skiings? He said, Skins is

834
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: keeping in touch with him, so I like that part

835
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: of it, right, Paul Skins is just putting his head

836
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 1: down and mowing down hitters for the first couple of

837
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: seasons of his career to an historic pace. But if

838
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 1: we sat down with him on on off the record

839
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: conversation or had dinner with him, whatever, he would probably

840
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 1: say what about his first couple of years? Knowing how

841
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: much of a gamer he is, What do you think

842
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 1: he would say if you were sitting down with him

843
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: at dinner and like, Hey, tell me how you really

844
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: feeling about being there right now?

845
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 3: He's frustrated. He would explain why, he would explain why

846
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 3: he does the scheme stare. He punches a dude out

847
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 3: and it's maybe his fifth or sixth strikeout, and he'd

848
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 3: be like kind of looks up. He's not looking at

849
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 3: the radar gun, which is clearly over there. He just

850
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 3: kind of looks up like, damn, I am good. Why

851
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 3: can't I get players around me? So when he guys

852
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 3: has a guy like Connor Griffin, who AJ probably remembers

853
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 3: seeing him when he was a junior playing with a

854
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 3: bunch of seniors when we coached the All American Game,

855
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 3: Like you knew he had some something, but she also

856
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 3: knew like this dude puts a lot of work in

857
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 3: He talked about it in the interview. He put on

858
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 3: fifteen pounds and he had the season that he had.

859
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 3: Paul Skeins wants to bring that guy onto his boat

860
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 3: as soon as possible. Pirates, they'll try to manipulate it

861
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 3: however they want to say it. But this dude torched

862
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 3: the minor leagues. And if Paul Skeins is texting him

863
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 3: and keeping him keeping in touch. That means he knows

864
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 3: that this dude's going to be a guy that can

865
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 3: play behind him and maybe help him get a few

866
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 3: more ws.

867
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: So AJ, I'm looking at the lineup right now for

868
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh this year. They have one player in the Fangraft's

869
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 1: top one hundred three hitter, Brian Reynolds, who's still below

870
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety nine ops plus. I mean for him,

871
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 1: it's more of a down year. Nobody else is in

872
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: the top one hundred.

873
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 2: You can't have that, can't they're pitching. We all went

874
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 2: into the year sayd they're pitching was going to be

875
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 2: really Jorjo was went down. Skeins has had a great hair,

876
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 2: probably the Nlsy Young Award a winner pretty easily. Bubba

877
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 2: Chandler hasn't got hasn't been done anything at the big

878
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 2: league level other than come out of the bullpen. I

879
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: think he started one game and Oviedo's back, but the

880
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 2: rest of it has been kind of set and well fired.

881
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 2: A manager trying to make different moves. But the Saint

882
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 2: it guys, the Saint the s Ain't it pirates fans.

883
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, It's got to get better than this.

884
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: Do you think Ben Charrington is back. Nobody knows because.

885
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what his contract status is.

886
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,439
Speaker 1: I want to say he's got a year or two

887
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: left on there.

888
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 2: Don't see I'm getting rid of.

889
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: Him because he doesn't want to pay guys. Yeah, I

890
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: mean most teams do that. It's rare that a GM

891
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,479
Speaker 1: is a lame duck. But you're saying he's not gonna

892
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: do it. I know Ken was asked about this yesterday,

893
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: and from what I recall I watched the show, it's

894
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 1: a little punch drunk from a long flight. But I

895
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 1: think he said something along the lines of Bob Nutting

896
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: being too unpredictable, that it's hard for him to pinpoint

897
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: what he's going to do.

898
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 3: But if you do what unpredictable, you know exactly what

899
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 3: Bob Nutting is gonna do, whatever the cheapest route is.

900
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 3: He has not ever made a decision in since I've

901
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 3: watched The Pirates when he has been the owner that

902
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 3: has been anything less than about the money from cutting

903
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 3: guys before they get their bonuses, to making sure that

904
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 3: when a player, a historic player in the organization's contract

905
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 3: is going to be ten million dollars, he's traded before that.

906
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,720
Speaker 3: Two not signing any free agency. He's very dependable. He's

907
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 3: exactly who he always is. The money so Ben Sherdon

908
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 3: has an extra year. Exactly what AJ said. They're not

909
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 3: paying two guys to do one spot.

910
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,920
Speaker 1: Conflicting reports on here, but at least some of the

911
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: articles I'm looking at, including one here on the CBS

912
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: saying to believed he signed through twenty six or twenty seven.

913
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 2: They're not going to get rid of him.

914
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 1: So he's still going to run point there. Okay, but

915
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: good job on Connor Griffin back to the top of

916
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: the conversation. Also, happy birthday to our FT teammate Trevor May.

917
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: Ken Rosenthal is joining us on tomorrow's show, So we'll

918
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: check in with Ken on the races and enjoy the

919
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: gamesnight because there's playoff vibes with quite a few of them,

920
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: even if it's only one team fighting for their playoff lives.

921
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: The Cubs are in, but the Mets are fighting. The
