00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:46,760

00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: really doesn't like you and thinks that you don't know

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,880

21
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: good stuff. So we'll get to that. But first off,

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: let's give away some Adidas cleats, shall we. So we

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: threw this up there on Twitter this morning, like this post.

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: It's on ft Twitter right now at foul Territory TV.

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: Very easy to find and you can comment. The comment

26
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: is a really tough question. Your favorite player? We were

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: not specific. We just want to see that you have

00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: a pair of Adidas at a zero impact plus florals

31
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: in your size, keywords at the end in your size.

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: So if you're like, oh, I don't want that pair

33
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't fit, We're going to get you the pair

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: that fits your foot. So good luck to everyone. Did

35
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 2: you guys comment on it? I put Ricky Henderson. I

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: IP love Ricky and actually the shirt kind of helps

37
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: to represent the the A's fam a little bit. The

38
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: green is for the Gators today. But still love Ricky.

39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: Did you guys comment? And if not, do it now?

40
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: But who would you put as your favorite player? Many

41
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: people put kratz in Aj as their favorite players, but

42
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: I feel like they were just kissing up to the contest.

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: It is a randomly selected contest, so that doesn't work.

44
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 4: You can always huh, who'd you say? You can always

45
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 4: say always say one player?

46
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah?

47
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, you know you don't have to take

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: it too seriously. But who would you put on there?

49
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 4: I would probably I mean, I grew up being a

50
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 4: Griffy fan.

51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 3: I'm the eighties baby, so it's kind of It was Griffy,

52
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: Andrew Jones and Mike Cameron, but I probably would have

53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: put Griffy.

54
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: You were barely in the eighties. You ain't that old kid,

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: you like you were like you were just you were

56
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: getting on the end of the end of the eighties.

57
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: I put Guard Stubbs with my face favorite player.

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 4: Well, it was cool.

59
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: One of the first commenters, Michael Sockman Beer, he put

60
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: me as a favorite player, So, I mean, I feel

61
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: like I feel like he never saw me play. But

62
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: that's okay. I'm not against it. Thank you, Michael Sockman Beer.

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Appreciate you.

64
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: Wow, that's good. That's deep with that shout out. I

65
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: thought you were originally talking about Tocman, your buddy in

00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: the Biggs, but you went next level on.

67
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,000

Speaker 2: join us. More on that tomorrow. Let's charge.

81
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: Let's charge about?

82
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: Can we gotta start with Hunter Green eight and two

83
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: third shutout innings, four hits. The era is down to

84
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: one three to one after a few starts as the

85
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 2: Reds and the Giant seven game winning streak with a

86
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: two to nothing dub. So some really good pitching performances yesterday.

87
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 2: This one stood out. This is a guy who I

88
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: think is reminding everyone that last year he was very

89
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,559
Speaker 2: much in the running for Cy Young and he's doing

90
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: things that even in a game with so much VLO,

91
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: no one else is doing. Carrying that Vello into the

92
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: ninth inning, He's pumping ninety nine plus in the ninth

93
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,119
Speaker 2: inning with the eighty nine slider, almost got the CG.

94
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 2: He's had one before. What did you think of these swings,

95
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: missus and Takes?

96
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was phenomenal.

97
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: The thing that stood out to me more than anything

98
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 3: is where his confidence level is right now. I mean

99
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: he was pumping ninety nine to one hundred throughout the game,

100
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: but now you can tell that he's starting to pitch.

101
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: And I even wonder, and I would love to hear

102
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 3: from Cratzy when you talk about a pitching standpoint. I

103
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: think he's still learning, right. I saw a couple of

104
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 3: two seamers at ninety nine. You saw the fourth seamer.

105
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: I mean he was north and south with it the slider.

106
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: But I think back early Verlander, right when Verlander could

107
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 3: pitch around ninety five ninety six and then go get

108
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: that one hundred, because when I watched guys in that game,

109
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: there were a few balls that were squared up right

110
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 3: because guys are sitting ninety nine and one hundred. But

111
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 3: I think he could even mess with timing even more

112
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: if he could find a way to maybe just back

113
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: off early in the game.

114
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: Here and there.

115
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 3: But it was a phenomenal performance and he needed to

116
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: have that kind of performance because when you look at

117
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: what Logan Webb.

118
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 4: Been on the other end, he was nasty as well.

119
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: So it was it was fun fun to watch that

120
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: out in between those two guys.

121
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was just there was nothing to be had

122
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: on the offensive side, especially when when Hunter Green, you

123
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: know we're talking about specifically, is able to spot that

124
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: fastball down in a way. That is something that is

125
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: it's forgotten. Not that teams don't want to do it,

126
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: not that players don't pitchers don't want to do it,

127
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: but that's what the Braves have built their entire pitching

128
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: philosophy on. People come back at me and say, ah,

129
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: Strider did this. Strider, I get it. There's some dudes

130
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: that get into more of the new pitcher mold, and

131
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: I think Hunter Green coming out of high school, being

132
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: a dude that threw triple digits out of high school,

133
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: Everyone's like, Oh, he's going to be in the big

134
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: leagues immediately. Doesn't happen for everybody. He's still twenty five.

135
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: He's still twenty five years old. This is now his

136
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: fourth full season in the big leagues, and he has

137
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: the tutelage of Derek Johnson. DJ is one of the

138
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: best pitching coaches to be able to know how to

139
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: make your mechanics really streamlined, but also be able to

140
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: make all your pitches usable in the zone for outs.

141
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's what I've seen in the last

142
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: two years is he doesn't need to be a twelve

143
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: to fifteen punch out guy a game. He can go

144
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: a little bit longer, hopefully with this new ability to

145
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: mix and match in the zone. He's still pumping one hundred.

146
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: It's not like he's a thumber now, like he's still

147
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: pumping a hundred. But to me, a big change for

148
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: him this year that I think could elevate him from

149
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: last year being a cy Young contender to this year

150
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: being a top three guy. Travino behind the plate, Jose

151
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: Travino has caught some aces before in his career, He's

152
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: had success, and I think that relationship will just continue

153
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: to grow. He did an amazing job last night with

154
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: him back there, so it's exciting for me to watch

155
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: this guy.

156
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: Kratz, do you like spending an hour on grocery shopping?

157
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,880

Speaker 2: choice for life.

178
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: Cratzy makes a great point that I think is really huge,

179
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: and it takes a guy like Hunter Green with that

180
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: type of stuff to buy in. When you watch that game,

181
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: Cratzy's right. He attacked in spots in the zone where

182
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 3: he wanted to get contact, where he wanted to get

183
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: early outs. Because when you're throwing ninety eight to one hundred,

184
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 3: guys are looking to ambush, right, They're not trying to

185
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: get behind the count.

186
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 4: They want to get to you early. But you watching Crassy,

187
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: that's a great point. Early, early in those counts, there

188
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 4: were fastballs up up on the up, up, outer, half down,

189
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 4: and end right below the zone where even some of

190
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 4: them square it up. They were outs and they were

191
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 4: quick outs.

192
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: So I think right there learning that and understanding like, yes,

193
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: I want to punch out and you're gonna get it,

194
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 3: but if I get these quick outs, that's gonna really

195
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: benefit me well.

196
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 4: And that bullpen also.

197
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean to your point, Cam, look at

198
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: what Green just did yesterday, and let's comp a team

199
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: that's gonna be high up on our war power rankings

200
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: later the Dodgers do they have a picture that can

201
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: go that kind of deep. Now, the quick counter I'm

202
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: gonna take away from people is they don't need it.

203
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 2: Their bullpens, dasty I agree, but do they have a

204
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: guy that can go that deep? And the reason I

205
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 2: ask it is Hunter gring out hurt last year and

206
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: he's had TJ and all of that. But is there

207
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: any correlation to guys that are kind of letting it

208
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: all eat for four or five innings versus a guy

209
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 2: who's figuring out how to navigate a lineup and get

210
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 2: through an entire game, right, not throwing your max blow

211
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 2: at all times. I guess Hunter Green might not be

212
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: the best example for this case since he throws so

213
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: freaking hard, but he can throw even harder. I mean,

214
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: you can go one oh one. I think he's got

215
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: as high as one o two or one o three.

216
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: So I know there's been reports out there trying to

217
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 2: figure out. You know, of course every pitcher is a

218
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: taking time bomb, but what's causing more of an issue?

219
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 2: And I wonder if you know cruise control helps to

220
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 2: at least prevent larger.

221
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: Issues, right, and again when you mentioned that, hell, Hunter

222
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: Green might be trying to be around cruise control pitching

223
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: around ninety seven to ninety nine, like that might be

224
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 3: his crew control, because I mean, Kratzy's been behind the

225
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 3: play catching it. I've hit it, but it looks pretty

226
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 3: effortless when you watch him throw, so he could be going, hey,

227
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: I am kind of taking backing off a little bit,

228
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 3: so I can have that one hundred and maybe one

229
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 3: hundred and one late in the game.

230
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 4: So I don't know, Scott, but that's a great point.

231
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 3: And but to answer your question about the Dodgers, I

232
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 3: think the Dodgers have two guys. I think Yamamoto's the

233
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: guy that can go deep in games. And watching Glass

234
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: now and I know it was raining watching his breaking

235
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: ball Cratzy, I mean, I think he might have the

236
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: best curveball in the game. So I think it's a

237
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: matter of him being in the strike zone, watching that

238
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 3: hundred great performance right finding his areas that he needs

239
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 3: to tunnel and get those early outs. But I think

240
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 3: Glass now facing him and then watching him now, even

241
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: the progression of his off speed stuff, I think he

242
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 3: has that wipeout type of stuff where he could go

243
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 3: CG if.

244
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: Not a no no, at some point, here's the best curveball.

245
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 1: Here's the best curveball in the game. I mean, I

246
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: guess I'm trying to think of like any other bullpen

247
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: pieces that would have just like a wipeout curveball. Nobody

248
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: has the twelve six curveball like him coming from six

249
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: foot seven and pairing off of it ninety nine with

250
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: cut like, could he go that distance? Absolutely he could.

251
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that everybody can throttle throttle pitches back.

252
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that they can. I would love to

253
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: see it, and I think that's where Hunter Green could be.

254
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: But even Hunter Green, is he you know, is he

255
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: a ninety seven and ninety nine guy and then pop

256
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: a one oh two or you know, I think each

257
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: guy has to learn that, and each guy has to

258
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: have the backing of the organization because if Tyler Glass

259
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: now tries to like throttle his fastball and he gets

260
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: throttled and he gives up two pumps during that time,

261
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: you know, the team's gonna be like, wait a minute,

262
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: Like we're looking for you to throw all of your

263
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: best pitches ninety two, one hundred times, and then we'll

264
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: go ahead and get the next guy in there who's

265
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: going to do the exact same thing, and we're gonna

266
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: win the ball game. So it's it's not just a

267
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: pitcher thing. It's an organizational thing too.

268
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: And by the way, to finish this and then we'll

269
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: get to Max Munty and the Reds are focusing on

270
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: pitching development more than people think. It's great American small park.

271
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: The offense actually has been the problem for them to

272
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 2: start the year. Even yesterday they scored two runs. What

273
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 2: did my notes that they took down say when I

274
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: did some math on their scoring, So they scored in

275
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 2: a two game span, believe it was twenty five runs

276
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: in a two game span. And the other nine they've played,

277
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: they've scored sixteen times. And they had the two run

278
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: double late from done. Obviously Web was really good. But

279
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 2: they might be a pitching heavy team. They might be

280
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: a team that's identity is their pitching staff, giving them

281
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: length and giving them swing and miss, which you know

282
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: has been a problem for them for a long time.

283
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: Chase Burns, their first round pick last year, was a

284
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: shocker for many instead of Charlie Condent, Rat Lauder was

285
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: a first round pick for them the year before. They

286
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: are hunting for pitching right now because it's tough sometimes

287
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: for them to recruit it, so good for them. A

288
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 2: little bit of a different flavor of the Reds than

289
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: we're used to, and we'll see if Obviously the offense

290
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: can bounce back. Let's hit some inside edge stats, shall we.

291
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: Christian Campbell, you're up first, since you got paid in

292
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: the past week. He's set in the table a lot

293
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: for the Red Sox when nobody's on base. So here

294
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: it is the on base percentage is at around fifty

295
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: seven percent when the bases are empty. It is early

296
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: in the season. We get it. But we're looking him up,

297
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: seeing where he leads in a category, and Cam that's

298
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: a good one because when the bases are empty, I

299
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: care less about slug than I would if there's people

300
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: on or driving in a runner. Obviously with a runner

301
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 2: a third and less than two outside whole deal, this

302
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: is empty. Get someone on.

303
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 4: Base, absolutely, listen those situations. Situations great great rallies.

304
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, I talk about team

305
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: at bats through him getting on base, I guarantee you

306
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 3: he's having some.

307
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 4: And if you watch him, he grinds his at bats out.

308
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: He's not easy out, he's taking his walks, he's doing

309
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: everything that you need a leadoff guy to do so.

310
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 3: And he has the potential to have a rookie rally.

311
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: You talked about your favorite player, Ricky Henderson. He can

312
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: he has the ability to make it one nothing before

313
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: you know it. So I've said it before. I talked

314
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: in spring training. I'm a huge Christian campbell guy, and

315
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 3: he is only going to get better, especially around guys

316
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: like Alex Bregnant.

317
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: How do you do this? How do you come up

318
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: to the big leagues and have much good great? It's

319
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: wild to me. I don't care if you come up

320
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: at thirty or twenty two years old. It's something I

321
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: don't know if it's able to be taught. But if

322
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: it is, and the Red Sox are doing it in

323
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: the minor leagues, whoa like that's a game changer? Does

324
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: look at one so too? People will be like, ah, man,

325
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: they only hit two eighty this year. Last year, he

326
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: only hit this batting average. He's got like a four

327
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: something on base percentage like four like hot, like man,

328
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: four hundreds Like to me, that's crazy to be able

329
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: to do. And he's an elite star. To be able

330
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: to get this from a rookie is huge, and how

331
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: he does it this early in his career is awesome

332
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: and should have held out every time he gets on,

333
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: I say, there's an extra million pocket. Should have held

334
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: out longer Hey, he is.

335
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: Fifth fifth lowest in the American League in swing rate. Right,

336
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: so he's taken a lot of pitches. He got thirty

337
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: nine percent on that category, and best in baseball in

338
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 2: batting average on fastballs this season five hundred. Again, it's

339
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: two weeks, but it's cool.

340
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 4: But but those two things tell something huge.

341
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: He's gonna do a lot of damage because, like Crassy said,

342
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: the league right now is going, Okay, young guy, let's say,

343
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 3: if you can lay off of this one and you

344
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 3: can lay off of that one. Oh, well, now he's

345
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 3: in a two zero count. Now he's in a two

346
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 3: to one count. Well, we don't want to walk this guy.

347
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 3: We don't want to put him off. So have a

348
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: lot of opportunities to get good pitches to hit. So

349
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 3: it's gonna be scary. Like Crazy said that he controls

350
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 3: his own like this right now.

351
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 4: His numbers.

352
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: If he could continue to keep that right there, oh

353
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 3: my goodness, the sky's the women for Christian Campbell.

354
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: If I were to tell a young kid to get

355
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: when he gets called up, what's the one piece or

356
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 1: what's the hitting advice that you would give me, I

357
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: would say, don't miss a single heater. Don't swing at

358
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: any of the breaking balls. Like if you can train

359
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: your brain, train your eyes and your body to do that,

360
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: Max Monsey, Max was talking about it there. He's like,

361
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: hew Nola's curveball is is pretty tough. If you watch

362
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: Max's at bats back and he's one of the best

363
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: at staying in the zone. He doesn't chase out the zone.

364
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: He won't swing at that curveball until two strikes. So

365
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: if you're Christian Campbell and that's the recipe for success,

366
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: best way to not strike out on a splitter, a curveball.

367
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: You know the pitches that you see guys getting sworded

368
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: on and swing and miss on hit the fastball that

369
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: he throws right before the curveball he's gonna throw and

370
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: he's doing that right now, So kudos to him and

371
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: the hitting coaches that are around him.

372
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: Two weeks into the big leagues. Right now, we'll do

373
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: some injuries suck. Here's one. Zach Eflin exited with shoulder fatigue.

374
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: His manager Brandon Hyde said he's gonna get more testing done.

375
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 2: They're missing Grayson Rodriguez right now. Obviously, Kyle Bradish was

376
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: a big boy starter for them, but has been out

377
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 2: and you know, missed, He's gonna miss what a year

378
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: or whatever? So is he gonna come back later this year?

379
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 2: And I don't know what the update is on him yet.

380
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 2: I Mean, the point we're getting to here is the

381
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 2: starting pitching depth is thin for this team. I'm gonna

382
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 2: leave this one okay, because I'm basically battling certain Orioles

383
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 2: fans that are trying to defend what they've done with

384
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: their rotation. So I've talked about it. I feel like

385
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 2: almost every day, you know, their rotation looks like shit,

386
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 2: and they did not work on it this offseason and

387
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 2: now injuries are appearing. Cam. So what do you think

388
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: of this Oriols team that could win a World Series

389
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: if they did what they were supposed to do and

390
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 2: grab an ace this offseason.

391
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 3: I think we've all said it, you know, and I

392
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: think this, and this is the issue that will continue

393
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: to arise as we watched them for the last two

394
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 3: seasons put together an extremely competitive group. Right, But you

395
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: can get in trouble holding on the prospects.

396
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: Right.

397
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 3: There becomes a time where in the big leagues veterans

398
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: do matter. And I know, you get these prospects and

399
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 3: you want to bring them up when and the transition

400
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: to jump from the from Triple A, Double A to

401
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 3: the big leagues isn't always that easily. Watched Jackson Holliday

402
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 3: last year struggle a little bit. Now he's starting to

403
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: come into his own, starting to look the part. But

404
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 3: you know, when you have those moments where injuries happen,

405
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 3: you need betteran guys that can step.

406
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 4: Into those roles where you don't lose as much.

407
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 3: They had the opportunity possibly use some of those prospects

408
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 3: as chips to go out and get some pieces that

409
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 3: you still could have control control of.

410
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 4: AKA Garrett Crochet, he's one of them.

411
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: But you look, you know the lack of Lance Lynn,

412
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 3: a guy that's out there who eats innings. There were

413
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 3: moves to be made that they didn't make. And right

414
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 3: now it's you know it has it. They won last night,

415
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: but I believe it will come back to bite them

416
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 3: in the blood. The one place where I really are

417
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: okay is when I look at this bullpen. If they

418
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 3: can find a way to have a league going into

419
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 3: the seventh, eighth, and ninth, I like the back end

420
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 3: guys so uh that that's the plus right now for

421
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 3: the for the o's.

422
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: Mh, I'm really high on the o's. I think they're

423
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: going to figure out this pitching issue. I don't love

424
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: what they did. I don't love that they didn't get

425
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: crochet push harder from Burns.

426
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 2: Let's go over an injury. Spencer Arraghetty part of that

427
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 2: Astro's rotation looks like he's gonna miss significant time because

428
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: he broke his thumb and it's on his pitching hand

429
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: line drive playing catch yesterday in Seattle Astros Mariners series

430
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: cam during VP. They're actually accidents all the time in

431
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 2: situations like this where I look around, how many times

432
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: have you seen this?

433
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: Right?

434
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 2: Because you guys were on the field every day?

435
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: Oh oh that almost got him?

436
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: Oh right, all the time with baseball's I mean, I

437
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 2: would get that I'm on the field reporting and you

438
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 2: would just look and you're like, oh, the phant almost

439
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: got smoked, or oh that player out there playing catch

440
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: almost got smoked.

441
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: It happens a.

442
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: Lot, and then of course you have this situation where

443
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 2: he's gonna miss a little I would say probably a

444
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: month or two with something.

445
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 4: Like this and a much needed arm.

446
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: When you talk about Spencer Arraghedy and how good he's

447
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 3: been and the glimpses of dominance that he's been able

448
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 3: to show.

449
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 4: But man, it gave me goosebumps.

450
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 3: How many times you've been in the cage or being

451
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: behind the turtle as guys are hitting VP and and

452
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,360
Speaker 3: not no offense to my pictures, but you know, they're

453
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 3: usually talking ball usually, you know, trying to figure out

454
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 3: how to get better and hold that grip. But they're

455
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 3: those are the guys that are usually not paying attention.

456
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 3: Those are the guys that usually get caught sleeping, sleeping

457
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 3: out there. And unfortunately, I've seen guys get hit. I've

458
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: seen position players get hit as well. But yeah, man,

459
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 3: this this is definitely a bummer, especially when you talk

460
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: about a guy not getting hurt, you know, actually competing.

461
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 4: So this is a big one for the astros.

462
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: It's so tough to actually get hit by something. Only

463
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: one ball is hit during VP at a time. Pictures

464
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: like throwing, they're like, can you have some stand and

465
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: watch for me? Like unless your back is too Like

466
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: let's say your left field and your right hander and

467
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 1: you're rowing down the line farther. I get it, but

468
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: how tough is it to go? He hit? Okay, come

469
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: set like the pitch. Watch again, Okay, get the ball back,

470
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: Guys Like I don't want to be bothered with that.

471
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: That's tough, especially when something like this happens. I bet

472
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: every astro pitcher is gonna have somebody watching them. You

473
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: can't have nine guys lined up on the line and

474
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: one bullpen catcher. That's like, I got you, guys, I

475
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: got you guys. Yeah, it's like the ball's getting rocketed

476
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: out there. The low low chance the ball is actually

477
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: gonna hit you. All you have to do is move.

478
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: Sucks that he couldn't see it coming, so tough.

479
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 3: Or don't move kratzy even you know what they used

480
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 3: to say, if you don't move, it won't hit you.

00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,960

501
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 2: you can see how he brings it and where he

502
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 2: points out something that might get questioned. They'll run through

503
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 2: his one through ten. Then we'll get your thoughts after that,

504
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: and we like to make fun of each other after

505
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: we lay out our one through ten, like where was

506
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: this team? Kratz?

507
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: You go first, all right? Because Aj is not here,

508
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: we can enjoy our power rankings. Hates power rankings, so

509
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: we can enjoy them today my power rankings go as

510
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 1: they have the whole year. It's gonna take a lot

511
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: to up, you know, take the take out the top two.

512
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: I go Dodgers, Phillies, and now I got the American League,

513
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: which I didn't have the American League before the top

514
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: five last time. I'm going Orioles just because I love

515
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 1: to see Scott squirm. I think this team's gonna do

516
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: awesome stuff and I'm buying that Gunner Henderson's back since

517
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: the last time we did this, Rangers might be the

518
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: best team in the American League. I just couldn't put

519
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 1: them third yet, so that's fine. Yankees have done nothing

520
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: but beat the teams that they've played. The d Backs

521
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: are probably the worst record of those top eight teams.

522
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: I think. I just think could tell Marte injury might

523
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: come back to by me having them in the top six.

524
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: But I'm fine with it. The Red Sox have proven

525
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: and they weren't in my top ten before. They've proven

526
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: that they should be because they can swing it, they

527
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: still can't pitch. The Padres have somehow captured my imagination

528
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: right now because this offense just absolutely smacks the ball.

529
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: But what I love is they're running the bases, the Mets,

530
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: because there's an whole group of Mets fans on Twitter.

531
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: They have to stay in my top ten or they

532
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 1: will burn my Twitter count down. And the one defense

533
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,479
Speaker 1: team that I have in the top ten now because

534
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: they play some elite defense is the Giants. Everybody else

535
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: on here is pitch hit elite MVP. I don't think

536
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: the Giants have an MVP candidate on their team, and

537
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: yet they all pick it. They got gold or possibility

538
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: of gold everywhere around there, and they're fun to watch.

539
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: You can't not put a now eight and two team

540
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: in your top ten going ten games into the season.

541
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: Most cool, Cam, I think he's a psycho for putting

542
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 2: the Orioles that high. Everybody looks at power rankings a

543
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 2: little bit differently, right, You're not going just off the record,

544
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 2: you see right now. You're going on some recency bias,

545
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: but not too much. You gotta take a grain of salt.

546
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: But they're five and six and their starting rotation is

547
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 2: kind of in shambles. You think they're a top three

548
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: team for power rankings? Cam, do you want to pile

549
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: on with me?

550
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 3: No, I'm just like you said, people look at power

551
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: rankings differently, And it makes me want to say that

552
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 3: was kind of lazy of e K, Like.

553
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 4: No, where are we right now? Ten games? Eleven games in?

554
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: Like I get if we were going back and talking

555
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 3: about at the beginning of the season, but right now

556
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:55,959
Speaker 3: eleven games in?

557
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 4: I love e K. I just feel like this was

558
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 4: a little lazy. I feel like it was a little lazy.

559
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, should I put the Dodgers farther

560
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: because their third in their division? Should I put them?

561
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: Should I put them behind behind the Padres? And if

562
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: we're going ten games in? Is that how we're doing

563
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: it now? Eric?

564
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 2: They're nine and three, The Oarls are five and six series.

565
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 1: They split a.

566
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 2: Series with the Blue Jays, the Orioles, they lost the

567
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: Red Sox, they lost a series to the Royals. They

568
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: haven't won a series yet. So did you Did you

569
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 2: have them in your top three before the season started?

570
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: Like what vaulted them in the last two weeks?

571
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: The Braves and the uh Diamondbacks jumped out, So it

572
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: just moved just slid up into my slit up in

573
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: the bracket.

574
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 2: Okay, all good. I can't wait to see them in

575
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 2: the World Series.

576
00:28:52,480 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: Game one is Grayson rod Ris true hope. So games

577
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: the Mariners are out of it and they'll be Brian

578
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: wo in game two.

579
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: Okay, now we're talking. Then I would vault them up

580
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 2: the power rankings. All right, Cam, you're up.

581
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 4: Look, let's just pull it up. Let's just pull it up.

582
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 4: Let's let it out. Cam's power rankings right here.

583
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 3: You know, unlike Cratzy, I'm gonna go from teen and

584
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 3: down to one. I've got the Diamondbacks right there. You know,

585
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 3: we cover them the other night, Scottie, and not one

586
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 3: thing that I still like, even with the Katel Marte

587
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: and the offense hasn't got to where they're gonna go,

588
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 3: and they still find a way to manufacture runs. And

589
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: I look at the starting rotation. I still like the

590
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 3: rotation out there. There are some question marks for me

591
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 3: in the bullpen, but I had to bump. But I

592
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 3: had to bump the O's out of ten because I

593
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 3: still like the d Backs ability to find a way

594
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 3: to score runs and win.

595
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 4: The Angels. I've got to give the Angels some love

596
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 4: right now.

597
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 3: I don't know if if it's the cell phones that

598
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 3: they're still sticking to it, but right now they are

599
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: athletic Mike Trout is healthy. They have one of the

600
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: better catchers in the game that I think nobody knew

601
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 3: about because he was hurt last year, and Logan o'hoppy,

602
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 3: and they have the best backup catcher in baseball in d'arneau.

603
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: And then you look at the athletes around the field.

604
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: I like what they've done. And then you talk about

605
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 3: the rotation. They have a veteran rotation. They have some

606
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 3: veteran guys in the back. The law firm of Jensen

607
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 3: and Joyce is as nasty as they.

608
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 4: Get right now. So I've got the Angels right there.

609
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 3: The Giants they deserve to be right there, because they

610
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 3: started off as hot as they worried. It took hundred

611
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 3: Green to kind of slow them down. I like what

612
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 3: they've done as well.

613
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 4: My Tigers.

614
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 3: They do a little bit of everything well right they're

615
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 3: the complete team. And they also have maybe the smartest

616
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 3: guy at the helm calling the plays or putting on

617
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 3: the hitting runs or managing the bullpen of aj Hint.

618
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 3: So I love my Tigers right there. I'm with Cratzy.

619
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 3: The Mets have to stay right there because you know

620
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 3: the Mets fan base right now, they are rabbit they believe,

621
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 3: and again last night.

622
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 4: Was fun to watch.

623
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 3: They still have something a mystique about that lineup that

624
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: I like. The pitching is still somewhat of a question mark.

625
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: I have the Mets there, then the Cubs. The Cubs

626
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 3: started out slow, and I was sitting here, I was

627
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 3: one of those people questioning, what does their identity look like?

628
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what their identity is. It's Kyle Tucker.

629
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 3: When he goes the Cubs go, everything seems to be

630
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 3: falling into place when this guy is locked in. And

631
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: I think, looking at that Vladdie deal, he is locked

632
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 3: in right now. He is going show me the money.

633
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 3: So I've got the Cubs right there. The Padres, I

634
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 3: think the NLS might be the best best division in baseball,

635
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 3: or you can argue it.

636
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 4: The Padres. I think they still have a formidable rotation.

637
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 3: We've seen what the back end of their bullpen looks

638
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 3: like when you get when you give them a league.

639
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 3: Fernando Tatis is proven even with the past PD stuff,

640
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 3: he's still one of the best players in our game.

641
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 3: And then the Yankees. The Yankees, I love what they're

642
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: doing right now. I love the dynamic. I love the

643
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 3: veteran guys that they brought in a like gold Schmid Jazz.

644
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 3: They got the torpedo bats going, They've got the Internet

645
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: in the frenzy. We know the starting rotation is. It's

646
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: a coin flip right now, it's a coin flip. It's

647
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 3: a toss up. But I like the Yankees and then

648
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 3: the Phillies and the Dodgers. They speak for themselves. I

649
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 3: had the Phillies first, but when I look at it,

650
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 3: the Phillies kind of.

651
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 4: Always do this right.

652
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 3: They win their in the regular season, but when it matters,

653
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 3: the Dodgers are still the Bee's knees.

654
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 4: So that is what a power ranking should look like.

655
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: Boys, I love it. I love it. Cam. You're a

656
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: great person and you make a great power ranking. I

657
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: think your opinions are mattered and valid. Great job.

658
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 4: You say, like my wife, thank you.

659
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: I know you have a.

660
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah angels in the nine spot right now, Cam, And.

661
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm only going again. Like you said, everybody

662
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: looks at power rankings differently. I'm looking at these first

663
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: eleven games. I'm not looking at the projections preseason. I'm

664
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 3: looking at where we are right now. Listen, they've won

665
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 3: every series. I know it's the White Sox. They beat

666
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 3: the Guardians. We all believe in the Guardians, and they

667
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: beat Saint Louis so until they go backwards right now

668
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 3: and they continue to play for around Washington, that's where

669
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: they deserve to be in my power rankings as of today.

670
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 3: I don't know where they might be two east from now.

671
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 3: That could drastic me change, But as of today, that's

672
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 3: how I'm looking out power rankings, not the rosters, not

673
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 3: the personnel. I'm looking at who's performing right now.

674
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 2: It's not it's power rankings.

675
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 3: Right I get it, I get it right now, they're

676
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 3: they're in my power rankings.

677
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 4: There are they winning series?

678
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 3: They've won three series in the ROWNA.

679
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: He thinks Kyrion Parris is gonna win a batting title too,

680
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: So that's why he's and and I think Cam is

681
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: he's pining for a job on that staff. Say if

682
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: gonna I'm good a job or not?

683
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 4: East Coast guy, Excuse.

684
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 2: Me, I have a question. I just want to ask

685
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 2: again something about the Angels. It's less hate on the Angels,

686
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 2: just like do they deserve to be in the top

687
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 2: ten yet? You know? And yes, I go more off

688
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 2: projection still mixed in with what things are looking like

689
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 2: right now. I mean, fangrafts, including the current record, has

690
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: them projected to be a seventy seven win team. I'll

691
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 2: keep it real simple on my angel's question, why the

692
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: Angels and not the Rangers or eight and three? And

693
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 2: they don't see on this list?

694
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 3: And you know what that is where I dropped the ball.

695
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 3: Now that I look at my list, I probably and

696
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 3: I still.

697
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 4: Honestly and honestly, honestly.

698
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 3: What I would do is I'll probably still bump the

699
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 3: d Backs out and I will still leave the Angels

700
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 3: at ten, and I will still probably put the Rangers

701
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 3: in the top five. Right now, now that I look

702
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 3: at it, players mess up, But still I like what

703
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 3: the Angels are doing. Now I'm giving them credit for

704
00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 3: what they're doing in these first eleven great catcher Mike Trell, Kinley, Janssen,

705
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:09,720
Speaker 3: Joyce Netto. I mean, listen, I like the moves they made.

706
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 3: I like them now that I'm watching it kind of

707
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 3: come to fruition. We don't have long that those guys

708
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 3: will be out there on the field. Right Longevity has

709
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 3: been tough for the Angels, But right now, you know what, Hey,

710
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 3: who's better to know hockey.

711
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,839
Speaker 4: Where is he on your top catchers in the game

712
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 4: right now?

713
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: Healthy?

714
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 2: I like him too, you know, Oh for Crats, I'm

715
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,280
Speaker 2: sure what Kratz he's pushing top five these days.

716
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 1: He's probably out of my top five. I was going

717
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: through it. He's probably out of my top five. He's

718
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: got a lot of potential, definitely potential. But to me,

719
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: you gotta accumulate some stuff behind the dish. Four homers

720
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: in four days. It's a good hot start. I think

721
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: his knowing him as a person helps me get him

722
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: closer to the top five. But I mean it's a

723
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: I'd have to to break it all down. He's right there.

724
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: I don't think I can put him in the top

725
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: five right now, but let me let me get back

726
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: to you on.

727
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: That's fine, we'll do those lists a different day. Let's

728
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: q up mine here. I was stewing this morning working

729
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 2: on it. So we're gonna start with the Dodgers, the Phillies,

730
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: the Padres. I was the high guy on the padres

731
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 2: entering the season, so I'm going to push them up

732
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 2: a few spots. I had them firmly in my top

733
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: ten to start the year. The hot start I'm buying

734
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: into the pitching, starting bullpen. Obviously, the stars look like stars.

735
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 2: Jackson Merrill looks like he's gonna be the guy from

736
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: last year, So I'll put them in the three spot here.

737
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 2: Some of you might look at this later on in comment, Well,

738
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 2: the Phillies just beat the Dodgers in a series. Okay again,

739
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,280
Speaker 2: I'm not going off one series here. Relax, the Dodgers

740
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 2: won the World Series. We're two weeks into the season.

741
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 2: Mets looked pretty good. Could I sing? I had a

742
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 2: really nice adding yesterday. I get it. It was the Marlins.

743
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 2: Tyler McGill looks like he's bringing what he had last year.

744
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 2: They've got some starters out right now, but they're off

745
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 2: to a nice start. The Mets are seven and three.

746
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 2: I got to get a five and six team in

747
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: there because Kratz said so, I'm not going to go

748
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 2: with two five and six teams, but I will take

749
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks at the five spot. There's nothing I'm looking

750
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 2: at right now telling me that they're not going to

751
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 2: be a version of last year's team. Plus Corbyn burns.

752
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: I know Catel Marte is out for a little bit.

753
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 2: Corbyn Carrol's back offense looks really good. Detroit six and

754
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: four got swept to start the season by a hot

755
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 2: Dodgers team. I really like the Tigers. If Torkolsen's back

756
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 2: and Casey miz finally has his breakout season, sign me up.

757
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,439
Speaker 2: Texas eight and three looking good. Injuries, I would say

758
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 2: scarier on their side than most other teams. De Gram obviously,

759
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 2: Young's already out, but I really like them. Yankees at

760
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 2: six and four offenses off to a really nice start.

761
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 2: They're the Torpedo Boys, Jazz bowlpy et cetera. Even Trent Grisham.

762
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: I have them right over Boston six and five. This

763
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: is my first time putting them in the top ten

764
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 2: here in twenty twenty five because the offense looks legit.

765
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: Willia or Brady looks insane. Devers is already back. I'm

766
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 2: worried about the back half of the bullpen. Yanks have

767
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 2: a better bullpen right now. Atlanta's still in there. For me.

768
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 2: I'm not just going to kick them completely out of

769
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 2: my top ten because they're off to a slow start

770
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 2: and Lopez is out. Streyder sounds like he could be

771
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 2: back in the next week or two. Acuna Junior is

772
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 2: going to be back in three to four weeks, and

773
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: I still think this team is going to level out.

774
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: So there's my top ten. Can make fun of it

775
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: since Kratz is too.

776
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 4: Nice, you know what. I The only one I kind of.

777
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 3: Question is the Braves move, but they do still have

778
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 3: so many weapons in that lineup.

779
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 4: The only thing that worries me. I think that the

780
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 4: expactor for me is Olson.

781
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 3: I think you know, we've seen a Matt Olson in

782
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 3: Oakland where it was Feaster Family, Like we've seen the

783
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 3: ups and downs and you know, so I think he's

784
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 3: the ex factor for me and their pitching staff. I

785
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 3: just I don't see it like if team that has

786
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 3: the Braves on that you know, on this schedule, I'm

787
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 3: I'm running to the back rack like like, nobody scares

788
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 3: me right now in that rotation stop except for really

789
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 3: scares me.

790
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 2: Swellenbach. That's an easy a B.

791
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 4: Listen. I'm just telling you, like you might not see him.

792
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 4: I'm just I just you just.

793
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 2: Said sales It, okay, sell is this cy young winner.

794
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: Swelling By looks like another set.

795
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: The bullpen doesn't scare me either, Like I just I

796
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 3: don't know, I don't know. I don't see it. I don't,

797
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,479
Speaker 3: I don't know. I like Washington over the Braves right now.

798
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: I think a J. Smith Shauper is going to break

799
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 2: out too. Yes, who you calling?

800
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 4: Oh?

801
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: No, Buster called me? If Buster Posey called me and

802
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: said I put together a baseball team. I thought Scott

803
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: was a big baseball fan I put together. Would you say, oh,

804
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: I put together a good baseball team, not an analytic darling.

805
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: And you don't want to put me in your top ten?

806
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: All right, Scott? Well, uh oh, but you said he's

807
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: got a nice byep. Okay, I'll tell him Buster, thank you.

808
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, wait, hold on, just text him say it's it's

809
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 2: called it's a website. It's new. It's called too Soon

810
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 2: dot Com eight and two. Relax buster too soon dot com.

811
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 2: If you're still in this spot.

812
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: I thought you I thought you're old school, Scott. I

813
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: thought you were old school. But you're not.

814
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 2: It's mid school.

815
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 1: I know, I know what it, I know what it

816
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: takes to win, but orry about it.

817
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 2: The Braves are projected to win eighty eight games despite

818
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: the slow start. Clearly, I'm already the high guy on

819
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 2: the Braves. I don't think this is a bad team.

820
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: Tell me where I missed. So you think that I

821
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 2: should have the Braves out in the Giants, and you

822
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 2: think the Giants are a better team this year than

823
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 2: the Braves, because.

824
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I don't.

825
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 4: I don't know if you missed, but I don't know

826
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 4: if you actually missed. I just think I don't know

827
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 4: if the Mets are for for me. I think that

828
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 4: I like the line of the Mets. The Mets line

829
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 4: up looks. I don't know.

830
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 3: The de Bet like the deep Backs at five is

831
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 3: a little tough for me. I think the Tiger. I

832
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 3: like the Tiger. I like the Rangers. I miss I

833
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,240
Speaker 3: missed the Rangers in my in my rankings, but you're right.

834
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 4: You sell me on the Rangers. I just think it's

835
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 4: the order.

836
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 3: I think these teams are in everybody but the Braves

837
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 3: is okay.

838
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 4: I don't think the Braves should be in the top

839
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 4: I don't think.

840
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 3: They deserve today again today to be in the top ten.

841
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 4: So just that's it.

842
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: But I don't.

843
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 4: I don't mind the teams that you have in it

844
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 4: though I don't. I don't at all.

845
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 1: And Andres pitching starting rotation, are they better than the Braves?

846
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: Starting rotation.

847
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 4: I think I think so.

848
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: And so there's seven spots better because their bullpen is

849
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: light years ahead of a lot of teams in the

850
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 1: big leagues.

851
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 2: Yes, their bullpen is better than the Braves. And right

852
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 2: now their lineup is better than the Braves lineup.

853
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: Yes, but is it better you're talking, You're talking about

854
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,839
Speaker 1: the projection of the Braves. You're still you're still high

855
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: on them. Is their lineup better than the Braves lineup?

856
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: It's a Padres lineup better than the Brave lineup.

857
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 2: Right now.

858
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: Yes, Well, you didn't say right now. You said you're

859
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 1: projecting the Braves to still be good.

860
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 2: That's why I said, I take the first couple of

861
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 2: weeks into effect. I take projections into effect. I take

862
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 2: track record of players into effect. When we're two weeks

863
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 2: into the season.

864
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: So who do you think, who do you think them

865
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: end up better? Braves or the Padres this year?

866
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 2: Padres? I mean we went into the year thinking Phillies,

867
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 2: Mets and Braves. In the East. Something in the Central Cubs, Brewers,

868
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 2: some said reds, Okay, nothing's changed there.

869
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 4: For me.

870
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 2: I got one team there and then out West, Dodgers, Diamondbacks,

871
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 2: Padres Giants, at least for this first couple of weeks,

872
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 2: are making some noise. I don't feel like a lot

873
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 2: that I've looked at yet has convinced me of anything. Right, Like,

874
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 2: even the Braves slow start for the offense, terrible with

875
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: runners in scoring position. Do we really think that's going

876
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 2: to last the entire year? That's like the easiest stat

877
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 2: usually to look at and see that it's going to

878
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 2: level out when there are players with good track records,

879
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 2: isn't it?

880
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: I agree?

881
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 2: Do you know which team is crushed it in that category?

882
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 2: The Giants.

883
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: Out a little?

884
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 3: Okay, let me let me ask you this. Who do

885
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 3: you think it has a better rotation? The Giants for

886
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 3: the brains Braves? You think that You think the Braves

887
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 3: have a better rotation and logan with than Jordan Hicks,

888
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 3: than Robbie Ray even with Berlander, you think that's a

889
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 3: better starting rotation.

890
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: For sure?

891
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:51,919
Speaker 2: The top three, right sale Schwellenbach. Also Strider's coming back

892
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 2: very soon. Yeah, that three definitely much better than San Francisco. No,

893
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 2: he didn't have tej had internal brain surgery?

894
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 4: Was yes he did?

895
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: Excuse me?

896
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 3: Internal braiks, yes, No, this is no it matters it matters,

897
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 3: It matters, it matters.

898
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 4: They come back faster. So internal brak, excuse.

899
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 2: Me, better rotation than the Brave.

900
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 3: I do, I do, I do. I watched Jordan Hicks

901
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 3: other night. Bro that I'm trying not to curse. That

902
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 3: stuff he's throwing up there is gross dog. I mean

903
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 3: it is nasty, like he has no hitter type stuff. Logan, well,

904
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 3: we saw what he continues to do. Robbie Ray is

905
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 3: now you're removed after injury? He should I like, I

906
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 3: still like Robbie Ray. I'm still begging on Bertlander. If

907
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 3: Kyle hereon Verlander is a good four or five, I'm

908
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 3: just saying like that, if Berlander's going against the Braves

909
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 3: four or five, I like the Giants on top of

910
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 3: those other three guys I.

911
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 4: Name, even with even with the rating side young Award winner, right,

912
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 4: I think three.

913
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 3: I like those top three right there, and Berlanders is

914
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 3: your four. I like that better than the Braves.

915
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 2: For I'll take Schreider, Schwellenbach, Sale and Smith schauber Kratz.

916
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 4: Today or you mean like projecting right, We're projected.

917
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: Even if I call Spencer Schreider right now and say

918
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 2: we need you to pitch today. I think I'm still

919
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 2: taking him over over everyone else on this list. Right now.

920
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 2: I think he is going to be back and normal

921
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 2: pretty much right away with kid gloves. They're gonna have

922
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 2: to watch him right Hey, the Braves have a problem

923
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 2: right now. Their fit starter Bryce Elder has never been

924
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 2: the same since he had that big first half a

925
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. But this is where you're going

926
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,479
Speaker 2: to replace that. For me, Grant Holmes A five cool,

927
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: I'm good with that. Sale, Schwellenbach, Schreider, Schmith, Schwaber. It's

928
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 2: a good list. I'm just the high guy on the

929
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 2: Braids for me. Losing Lopez, losing Profar for half the year,

930
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 2: plus he's not going to be eligible for the playoffs

931
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: because did Royd's or did PDS whatever that hurts them.

932
00:45:56,239 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 2: I put them below the Mets and the Phillies and

933
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 2: now it's going to be easier. They're gonna have to

934
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: play catch up the whole year. But they still have stars.

935
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 2: The kun is coming back, Strider's coming back.

936
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 3: It took a clear almost two years to come back

937
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 3: to like, so I'm just so I get it, But

938
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 3: I'm also like, is he gonna be the coonan that

939
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 3: slow seventy or is he gonna be the cleaner the

940
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 3: probably the year before.

941
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 4: Who's still kind of filling it out.

942
00:46:21,200 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 3: He's not gonna be running as much, probably not gonna

943
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 3: score as many runs.

944
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 4: I'm just saying I get it.

945
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 3: But we're talking about two guys coming off andrey, so

946
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 3: I just I gotta see it first before I say

947
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 3: they're better than the guys that are healthy.

948
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 2: Right now, Okay, do you guys think that both will

949
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 2: be good this year, recover and be starser and cuna

950
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 2: I do.

951
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 3: From everything I'm hearing from Streider, it sounds like he

952
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 3: is definitely on pace. I'm not sure about the updates.

953
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 3: I don't I haven't really heard to the updates on

954
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 3: where Ronald is.

955
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:52,479
Speaker 1: I don't.

956
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 3: I don't really know where he is, has he has

957
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 3: he looking? But Spencer sounds like he is right on

958
00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 3: right on track.

959
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 2: Quick here and then we're gonna break in talk Cubs

960
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 2: and Kyle Tucker and all of that. Kratz, I actually

961
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 2: think that Akunya would be back quicker.

962
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 4: You know.

963
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 2: It sounds like he's ready to hit now in the

964
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 2: big leagues. He's not going to just DH. They want

965
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 2: him to be back full strength outfield right if they

966
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,600
Speaker 2: didn't have Marcela Zuna clogging up the DH spot. And

967
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 2: he's been great, he's been off to a nice start

968
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 2: for them. Do you think that in this scenario they

969
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 2: would have brought Ronald back a little bit sooner to

970
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 2: start swinging the bat for them.

971
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know, because I know their

972
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,879
Speaker 1: biggest hurdle that they wanted to get to get over

973
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 1: was the running the sprints on back to back days.

974
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 1: And once you bring a guy up, he's on your roster.

975
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: You're not sitting Ronald Acunya. Yes, it's gonna extend it

976
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 1: a few, you know, two to three weeks, maybe because

977
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: they have to have him in the outfield. But I

978
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 1: don't think they I don't know. I don't know if

979
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,280
Speaker 1: they would have brought him up ready. I don't think organizations,

980
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 1: as much as fans might want them to make gross

981
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: adjustments just because the team started one in you know,

982
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: oh and six oh and seven. Oh. You know, they

983
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: start out poorly, you're gonna make a You're gonna make

984
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: a rash move and bring an injured player up because

985
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: it's not the World Series, like when they brought Kyle

986
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: Schwarber back for the Cubs. You don't have those like

987
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: worked in days off. To me, when you bring a

988
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: guy back like like Ronald Acune Junior, he's ready to

989
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: play five out of six days. And I think that's

990
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 1: where they'll still take the time even if they didn't

991
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 1: have Marcel like I still think you're going to take

992
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: that time to make sure he's fully one h ready.

993
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 2: Yep, all right. I'll conclude with this because I'm looking

994
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 2: back at some people in the chat, agree to disagree.

995
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 2: If you want standings, we can literally just show the standings.

996
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 2: Power rankings are not the same standings. Ye do we

997
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 2: all agree on that?

998
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: Agree totally?

999
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 2: Okay? Just making sure because I was told that I

1000
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 2: can't really use projections really, so I can't look at

1001
00:49:10,480 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 2: track record of players, which is what projections do, and

1002
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,439
Speaker 2: say this team's going to be okay. And I still

1003
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 2: like what I see on paper and even what I

1004
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 2: see on the field. Pretty sure I can do that.

1005
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 2: It's not standing.

1006
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 4: You can do whatever, you can do, whatever you want, Scottie.

1007
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:27,720
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. I still like my gutter rankings

1008
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 2: idea where we look at the bottom five or the

1009
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 2: bottom ten, So we'll do that maybe at some point

1010
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 2: we'll give it a little bit of time. Kratz doesn't

1011
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 2: like that. He's too positive. Nice your slap hands.

1012
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: Well done, well done behind the scenes, Pa, This.

1013
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 2: Isn't me saying that you made a bad call, Krats.

1014
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 2: I just asked him for Kratz hats.

1015
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 1: Oh, Dodgers d. It's not the Dragons. It's not the Dragons.

1016
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: It's not Tom Selik and the Dragons. It's the Dodge

1017
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: d from spring training. The blue though it is, so,

1018
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm glad the camera. I'm glad Jared got the great

1019
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: great like just locked in the camera because this blue

1020
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: is a ridiculously deep dark blue. I love it.

1021
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 2: I haven't seen that one. Is this the first time

1022
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 2: you're shown him?

1023
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:36,479
Speaker 3: Is that one?

1024
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: It is? It is? I warn't the day that we

1025
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,400
Speaker 1: went to Dodgers camp, but I left early so we

1026
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: didn't get into it.

1027
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 2: I was gonna say it was it one of those

1028
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 2: days where I forgot to tee up Kratz hats because

1029
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 2: it's not.

1030
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,280
