WEBVTT - Fair Territory: Best Brewers, Roman Anthony's $$$, Naylor/Suárez mash

0:00:01.600 --> 0:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to the Thursday episode of

0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>A Fair Territory with Ken Rosenthal. Do not adjust your screens.

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Ken Rosenthal is finally taking a few days off to

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>reflect on his life choices. I am your host for

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 1>the day, Alana Rizzo, joined by Robert Murray, MLB insider

0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:23.560
<v Speaker 1>for Fan Sided. Obviously great to have Robert with us.

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for being here, Thank you for doing this

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 1>for us. Looking forward to a good day. Because there's

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot to talk about, Robert, Let's get right to

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>it and start with the lead.

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So, the Roman Anthony extension here with the Boston

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox sent shockwaves throughout baseball because it was not

0:00:40.159 --> 0:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>something that anybody really anticipated. There were some conversations early

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 2>on in the off season, but as soon as the

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 2>trade deadline ended up getting done, the Boston Red Sox

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 2>were very aggressive in trying to get Roman Anthony extended.

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 2>And from what I gather from start to finish it

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 2>may have taken about forty eight hours. And by keeping

0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Roman Anthony in Boston long term, this was a huge

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.559
<v Speaker 2>move for the Red Sox and for Roman Anthony as well.

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>And for the Red Sox it gets Anthony, who's one

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 2>of the top young players in Boston long term one

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>hundred and thirty million, which could end up being a

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 2>huge steal in the long run. And for Anthony, it

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 2>gets him in Boston for at least eight seasons, perhaps

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 2>nine with a club option for all sides. It's a

0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:29.559
<v Speaker 2>good move. I know there's some controversy and some people

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.759
<v Speaker 2>who think it maybe wasn't like the best move for Anthony,

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:34.759
<v Speaker 2>but you can't fault the gap for taking one hundred

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 2>and thirty million.

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh, absolutely not. I also want to welcome our new

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:41.279
<v Speaker 1>friends watching on NBC Sports in Philadelphia, the Bay Area

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>as well as California and Robert. You bring up a

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.759
<v Speaker 1>really good point. Now. Some folks are saying, why would

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Roman Anthony do this. He's just twenty one years old,

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>He's leaving money on the table. He is expected to

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>be one of the big superstars of the game. But

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you know what he said, yes, and I guarantee you

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't just him making this decision. I know, having

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>been at Fenway this week and listening to what everything

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>was going on with Roman Anthony. He talked about it

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 1>with his family, he talked about it with his agents

0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>and this is a place that he made clear he

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>wanted to play for a long time. What do you

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>make of what he was saying in his press conference.

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.679
<v Speaker 2>No, it's by taking this deal. It's very clear that

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 2>he wanted to be in Boston if he if he

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 2>had waited, he may have gotten three, four, maybe even

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>five hundred million dollars. And that's that's a projection for sure.

0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 2>But it's also a good projection considering just how good

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>and talented he is and how highly tauted he was

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 2>coming through the miners. But figure, you're twenty one years old,

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 2>you have one hundred and thirty million dollars thrown at you,

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:45.839
<v Speaker 2>You're in the town that you want to play in,

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>and I mean, that's just a situation that's too good

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>to pass up, if you're Anthony, or if you're any player.

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>We even saw Jackson Merril do it, we saw Corman

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Carroll do it. There's been other players who have done it. Anthony,

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I can't blame him at all. I know

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.040
<v Speaker 2>there's some people in the background and around baseball where

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.679
<v Speaker 2>questioning why he took it, But he took it for

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 2>all the right reasons, because he wanted to be in Boston,

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 2>and I can never fault the guy for that, all.

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Right, So let me ask you this. Do you think

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>the age is a factor in this, Robert, Because he's

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>only twenty one years old, and when he does end

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>this contract, even if the club picks up the option,

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>he's still entering a free agent period at around thirty

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>years old. It's not as if he's going to be

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty six when he's able to go to another team.

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that has to play a factor into it

0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>as well. I would imagine.

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it totally does, and as it should. I mean,

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.839
<v Speaker 2>from his age twenty one to the thirty seasons, he's

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 2>going to make a hundred the thirty million obviously it

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 2>bought out some free agent years, and maybe that could

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 2>cost him some money then, but he's still going to

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 2>be in a position where he can land a maybe

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 2>ten plus year contract, could end up getting three four

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>hundred million dollars. So by the time it's all said

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 2>and done, he could be in a position to really

0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>maximize his value and get maybe five hundred plus million

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.120
<v Speaker 2>throughout his entire career. So even though he may have

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 2>left some money on the table now, he's going to

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 2>be able to make it up in the future for sure.

0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 2>So for him, for his family, they're in a very

0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 2>good spot to be set for life. I mean, shoot,

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 2>is even his great great great grandkids could end up

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.280
<v Speaker 2>being several life But no, it's a great deal and

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 2>it sets them up for future success in earnings as well.

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Roman Anthony is gonna get paid and make no

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>mistake about that. Okay, Robert, switching our focus now to

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the Milwaukee Brewers. I'm not certain entering the twenty twenty

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>five season if either one of us would have thought

0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>that the brew Crew would be the first team to

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>reach seventy wins on the season. Are you buying what

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>they're selling?

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh? I'm totally buying, And how could you not? With

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Pat Murphy, I mean, Murphy is he is such a

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 2>common presence. He's intimidating for sure, Like if you're around him,

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 2>like you can you can sense he's like a grizzly bear,

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 2>but he's also a teddy bear at the same time,

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 2>And he cares about his guys so much and he

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:02.039
<v Speaker 2>has them believing and that ross feels like exactly like

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 2>what Pat Murphy is. He's hard nosed, he's aggressive, and

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 2>he just he plays the game. That entire team plays

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>the game the right way, and we even saw throughout

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 2>this entire wind streak and throughout this entire stretch they've

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.200
<v Speaker 2>been by far the best team in baseball. They're putting

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.840
<v Speaker 2>up runs, they're pitching really well, they're playing great defense

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.840
<v Speaker 2>as well. Throughout the stretch. Their last win streak here,

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.919
<v Speaker 2>they haven't had any errors on defense, so they're just

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:29.719
<v Speaker 2>playing really good, fundamental baseball. I think they're here to stay,

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and to me, they may not have the payroll of

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.919
<v Speaker 2>the Dodgers or the trade deadline of the Padres, but

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 2>there's still a really freaking good baseball team. So I'm

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.159
<v Speaker 2>absolutely buying everything that's that's going on with the Brewers

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.919
<v Speaker 2>right now, and I would not be surprised by the

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 2>time it's all said and done if they actually represent

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>the National League in the World Series.

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Wow, the whole thing, HU, Why do you have so

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 1>much confidence in Milwaukee being the pennant winner in the

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:55.560
<v Speaker 1>National League.

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.240
<v Speaker 2>That you look at their pitching. Their pitching has been

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 2>their foundation throughout, I mean to shoot, the last five

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 2>ten years, and now they have offense as well. They

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 2>have Jackson Curio, Christian Yelich, Isaac Collins South Freelick is there.

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 2>They have, I mean, so many young pieces on that

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 2>team who were just emerging and playing really good, like

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.840
<v Speaker 2>as I said, fundamental baseball. And their bullpen is very

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.000
<v Speaker 2>good as well, even after trading Devin Williams, even after

0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.920
<v Speaker 2>trading Josh Hater a couple of years ago, and they

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 2>added Shelby Miller at the trade DeLine, and that was

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 2>one that actually I was able to drop about twenty

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 2>five or so minutes after the trade deadline, and they

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 2>only gave up a player to be named later cash

0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 2>in the deal, and it just it felt like a

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 2>classic Brewers move. Well, actually maybe not classic Brewers move

0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 2>because they added Salary and Jeordan Montgomery, but a under

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.400
<v Speaker 2>the radar arm even when that wasn't the most pressing

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:51.480
<v Speaker 2>need for him. He's going to be debuting in the

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.400
<v Speaker 2>next couple of days. I think it was a great

0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 2>move by Milwaukee and it strengthened what was already a

0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 2>really good unit for them. So I think they have

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.719
<v Speaker 2>all the ingredients, especially them on defense as well, to

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:05.280
<v Speaker 2>just be a force in the postseason.

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, going back and forth with the Chicago Cubs and

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 1>then NL Central, changing our focus now to the AL

0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>West and the Seattle Mariners. Everybody arguing perhaps that the

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Mariners did the best job at the deadline, getting not

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>only a U HENNYO Suarez, but also getting Josh Naylor,

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>and Naylor seems to like playing there because he's raking.

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.360
<v Speaker 1>What do you make of what Seattle did at the

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 1>deadline and are they for real in the AL West

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 1>perhaps to win that division against the Astros.

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>I think they're also I'm on the on the hype

0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:37.760
<v Speaker 2>train this morning, but I'm also thinking they're legit. They

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:42.400
<v Speaker 2>added Josh Naylorano Suarez and they all they almost got

0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Joean Duran and there was at one point that morning

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 2>that he was traded that I thought he was going

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 2>to be in Seattle, but they ended up getting the

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 2>two sluggers, and both of them have been very good

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 2>since coming to Seattle, and Naylor has provided it with power,

0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 2>but he's also doing it with stolen bases as well.

0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>From the from the I'm spotting the lineup, so everything

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 2>that they could have hoped for so far has been

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 2>reality with both of those players. But I don't think

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 2>anybody necessarily expected Naylor to go ten for ten and

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 2>stolen basis since going to Seattle. It's a stroke of

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 2>genius by Jerry Depoto, and it's something that I've said repeatedly.

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.239
<v Speaker 2>I've said it on Fall Territory a bunch that the Mariners,

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 2>they have such a talented team that it only made

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 2>sense for them to go all in at the deadline

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 2>or even in the off season because I wanted to

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 2>design Pete Alonzo. Obviously that didn't happen, but I got

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.439
<v Speaker 2>to give them credit where credits due. They actually went

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 2>all in, didn't sacrifice the future as well, and their

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 2>chances of advancing into the World Series this year are

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 2>about as good as they've ever been.

0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.199
<v Speaker 1>Do you think they have enough offense to hold off

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.040
<v Speaker 1>the likes of the New York Yankees, who I am

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>very well aware or struggling right now, but the New

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>York Yankees, the Cleveland Guardians who are still in the mix,

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the Texas Rangers that are still a part of the conversation.

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Do the Ems have enough?

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 2>I think they do. I just need to see him

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.319
<v Speaker 2>actually do it in order to believe it, because it's

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 2>it's one thing to do it in the regular season,

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.079
<v Speaker 2>but doing it in the postseason is a whole other

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 2>beast And they haven't proven that they've They've been able

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.920
<v Speaker 2>to do that in recent years, but this year it

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 2>feels like it's they're set up to be different and

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 2>adding Suarez and adding Naylor provides veteran leadership, and they're

0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 2>they're talking about Naylor being a being one of the

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>better leaders that they've seen in the clubhouse, even since

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Corey Seger. There was a Mariners reporter who ended up

0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 2>mentioning that yesterday. I thought it was a really astute

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.560
<v Speaker 2>point by them. But to me, they're they're in very

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 2>good shape. I'm not rolling out Texas by any means,

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:38.520
<v Speaker 2>because they got better at the deadline. They added Merrill Kelly. Obviously,

0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.199
<v Speaker 2>they have de Gram, But the most underrated pitcher in

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 2>baseball who is not getting enough national recognition is Nathan Yavaldi.

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 2>He has been phenomenal for them this year. He's got

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.880
<v Speaker 2>an era I believe in the ones and he's just

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 2>been been remarkable for them. So the Rangers feel like

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 2>the scary team. The Yankees are still scary for sure,

0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 2>but this latest stretch for them has been wondering how

0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 2>far exactly they get to the postseason, if they even

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 2>make it at all.

0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I had that question. Yesterday over on Nissan on

0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:09.559
<v Speaker 1>Unobstructed Views, we were talking about how many teams in

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the American League East actually make the postseason. So let

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.680
<v Speaker 1>me ask you this, do you think well, I'll ask

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.679
<v Speaker 1>you how many teams in the AL East make the

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 1>postseason and how many teams in the AL West make

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:22.160
<v Speaker 1>it into the playoffs.

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:24.959
<v Speaker 2>So it's a great question, and I'm pulling up the

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 2>standings right now, so I'll make sure I don't forget anybody.

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.040
<v Speaker 2>The Blue Jays to me, I think they absolutely make

0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.439
<v Speaker 2>it for sure. The Red Sox to me, they're in

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.240
<v Speaker 2>a position to make it as well. And the vibes

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>are in Boston are just very good, especially after extending

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Roman Anthony. The vibes before that were good, but now

0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.080
<v Speaker 2>that they got Anthony in town and signed long term,

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the vibes there are great. I'm going I'm gonna leave

0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.440
<v Speaker 2>it at that as of this point. Maybe it's an

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.839
<v Speaker 2>overreaction to their latest stretch, but I don't think that

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 2>the Yankees are gonna end up making the postseason. That's

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of my hot take for right now. So if

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong, people can clip this and expose me, which

0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I would deserve. That for sure. But going to the

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Ale West, I have the Astros making it, I have

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 2>the Maritors making it, and I somehow have the Rangers

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 2>squeaking in even after their early season struggles. So I

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.680
<v Speaker 2>think we see more teams out of the Al West

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 2>than we do the Ale East.

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Wow, Okay, I do agree with you. On the Al East.

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox. I don't think the Yankees make it, and

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.559
<v Speaker 1>I think there's two also in the Al West, the

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Astros and the M's all right. Much more to come

0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.679
<v Speaker 1>with Robert Murray here on Fair Territory with Ken Rosenthal.

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.680

0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and Robert. Of course we're talking with Robert Murray, MLB

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 1>insider of Fan Sided. Robert, we have a couple of

0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.320
<v Speaker 1>questions before we get to our folks on the YouTube chat.

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I want to ask you what this is like. I mean,

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:01.319
<v Speaker 1>being an MLB insider is not an easy job. It's

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 1>not for the week. So tell me a bit about

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>your trade deadline recovery program. How you feeling?

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:10.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you would have asked me that question

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:12.719
<v Speaker 2>about three days ago, I could barely speak. I was

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 2>I was mentally exhausted. I was in Chicago and usually

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:20.079
<v Speaker 2>you're out doing different things, and I was in bed

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 2>by about seven o'clock, So that was. That was pretty

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 2>pathetic of me. But now I'm starting to feel a

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 2>lot better. The recovery has just been trying to stay

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 2>off my phone as much as possible because my social

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.400
<v Speaker 2>battery was at about a zero. Because my days throughout

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 2>the trade deadline typically start around four am and got

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:39.600
<v Speaker 2>done around eleven or twelve pm, so long days for sure,

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.840
<v Speaker 2>but staying off my phone, trying to cuddle with my dog, Cooper,

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 2>who is showing behind me right now. I mean, you

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 2>got to give Cooper a shout on the show, but

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 2>that was He's been an absolute hero throughout this entire stretch.

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Yes, Cooper, my guy. Love dogs, Love Cooper. Okay, let

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 1>me ask you this. This is a question from our

0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 1>chat on YouTube. Thanks for being here, you guys always appreciate.

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Rothenberg wants to know question for you and I

0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.839
<v Speaker 1>do you think any interim managers will stay on for

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 1>next year? If not? Who were the top manager candidates

0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Who's going to get rewarded?

0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:14:11.880 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if there's any interim managers who end

0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 2>up staying in place this year, maybe in Washington, but

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm going to try to branch out a

0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:23.840
<v Speaker 2>little bit here. The obvious one is Skip Schumacher, and

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 2>he is going to be the top candidate for so

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 2>many different teams throughout the league. And when he left

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Miami he was asked about plenty like behind the scenes

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 2>with me, people were wondering where he could end up

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.400
<v Speaker 2>going or what his future may end up looking like.

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 2>He's in Texas now. I don't expect it to be

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 2>a very long stay in Texas unless he ends up

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 2>replacing Bruce Bochie down the line. But he stands out

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 2>to me almost immediately. I'm going to go under the

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 2>radar candidate here, and this is going back to my

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 2>ties with the Milwaukee Brewers, but I would go with

0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 2>Walker mckinvin. He's the current bench coach of the Chicago

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 2>White Socks. He is as respected of a coach or

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 2>just a baseball person as I've been around in Milwaukee.

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:12.400
<v Speaker 2>And he's smart, he's analytical, former player in college. He's

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 2>somebody who I'm I'm definitely keeping an eye on for sure.

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.040
<v Speaker 2>And the last one would be would be Walt Weiss.

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 2>I could see him being a candidate in Atlanta should

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Brian Snicker end up retiring at the end of the

0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 2>year as expected. So those are the three names that

0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm keeping an eye on both now.

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.400
<v Speaker 1>In long term. Yeah. Well, Weiss has had managerial experience

0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 1>obviously with the Colorado Rockies, longtime baseball man. All right,

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.320
<v Speaker 1>our focus is now on the New York Yankees. We

0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 1>cannot make it through a show without talking about the

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 1>pin Stripers. They are struggling. Zach Ge wants to know

0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 1>from you, Robert, do the Yankees have an Aaron Boone

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 1>problem or a player problem? Devin Williams was chosen to

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.000
<v Speaker 1>pitch Game one and two in Texas and handed the

0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 1>win to the Rangers both games. That is zach GE's opinion.

0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Is it a managerial issue or is it a player issue.

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 2>It's a good question, Zach Gie, and I wonder if

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 2>it could end up actually being like an organizational issue,

0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 2>because you see just the overall mistakes that they make.

0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 2>They I talked before about the Brewers and just how

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 2>fundamental they are on the baseball field and just how

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.960
<v Speaker 2>well they play the Yankees make so many mistakes on

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 2>the on the on the field that it just makes

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 2>you wonder what exactly that they're being taught in the

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.680
<v Speaker 2>minors or or just in general. So I can see

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 2>it being an organizational issue, but I also think it's

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 2>also a managerial issue issue as well, and clearly something

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 2>is not going right in New York. I don't think

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 2>they're going to end up making a change anytime sooner,

0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.360
<v Speaker 2>like during the season. Year. If they make a change,

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:42.400
<v Speaker 2>you would probably be after the season. But I don't

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 2>they They're about as patient of an organization as there

0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 2>possibly is. But something has to change there, like whether

0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 2>it's the way they're teaching the players, the message to

0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 2>the players, or just whatever they have to do. Something

0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 2>needs to change. And that absolutely stems with with Aaron

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Boone because Brian Cashman's handed him very good roster.

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Sticking along the lines, the topic of managers is Pat

0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Murphy the man to beat as far as n EL

0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.840
<v Speaker 1>manager of the year. If it's not Pat and his pancakes,

0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:13.399
<v Speaker 1>who is it?

0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how can you turn on a pancake man

0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.560
<v Speaker 2>for this? Absolutely it's Pat Murphy. The job that he's

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:24.440
<v Speaker 2>done in Milwaukee is remarkable, and they they were written

0:17:24.480 --> 0:17:27.720
<v Speaker 2>off going into the year after losing William Damas, after

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.920
<v Speaker 2>losing Devin Williams. It felt like how we were talking

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 2>about them in previous years after they traded away some

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.920
<v Speaker 2>of their best players, and yet time and time again

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.159
<v Speaker 2>they've been able to just prove people wrong. And this

0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 2>year has been their finst performance. And to me, Pat

0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:45.280
<v Speaker 2>Murphy is absolutely the favorite to win Manager of the Year.

0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.200
<v Speaker 2>He's deserving of it going back to back, and I

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.160
<v Speaker 2>mean he's got competition in Miami because what the Marlins

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:53.920
<v Speaker 2>are doing in Clayton McCollough. The job that he's done

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.600
<v Speaker 2>there has been tremendous, but it's got to go to

0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.159
<v Speaker 2>Pat Murphy. I mean, who expected this deep into the

0:17:59.200 --> 0:18:01.240
<v Speaker 2>regular season for the Brewers to have the best record

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 2>in baseball? Not me, even though I did have them

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:06.440
<v Speaker 2>winning the division at least I think. I think that's

0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 2>something that I that I have, but no, it's just

0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:12.680
<v Speaker 2>incredibly impressive the job that he's done.

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Pat Murphy's a lot of fun to be around too,

0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and as you mentioned, he's very stern, but he also

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:21.000
<v Speaker 1>has a very fun and playful side about him as well. Obviously,

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.680
<v Speaker 1>the guys like playing for him. He's probably the front

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.480
<v Speaker 1>runner as far as that category is concerned. All right, Max,

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:28.960
<v Speaker 1>what's up. Great to have you with us. What do

0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:31.879
<v Speaker 1>you think the plan is for Reese Hoskins upon return

0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:35.200
<v Speaker 1>from the IL, given King Vaughan's emergence for the Brewers.

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:40.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a great question, Max, And for the Brewers,

0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.119
<v Speaker 2>they got to figure that out. And something that I

0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:46.000
<v Speaker 2>found out during the trade deadline is is they were

0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:49.479
<v Speaker 2>looking for infielders and they were looking at Ryan O'Hearn.

0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 2>They were looking at Ehano Suarez. They were interested in

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.200
<v Speaker 2>both players and tried acquiring either one. Obviously didn't get either.

0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 2>So I'm wondering what exactly it could end up meaning

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:03.760
<v Speaker 2>for Hoskins. It's future in Milwaukee this year. I mean,

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:05.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you end up keeping a gully

0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Andrew Vaughn out of the lot. The job that he's

0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:12.480
<v Speaker 2>done is just incredible. Hoskins is obviously a very talented player,

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:16.520
<v Speaker 2>but if I'm Milwaukee, you got to ride the hot

0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.840
<v Speaker 2>hand and you got to keep Vaughn in there, and

0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 2>that could end up meeting a lesser role for a

0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:22.840
<v Speaker 2>Galy Hoskins, or even moving them to a DH spot

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:25.760
<v Speaker 2>or something along those lines. But you have to end

0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 2>up keeping Vaughn in the lineup for sure.

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:29.760
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, make sure you guys tune into

0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Foul Territory today. Scott Braun of course as the host

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.880
<v Speaker 1>with the other guys, but Andrew Vaughan of the Brewers

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.200
<v Speaker 1>is going to be one of their guests on Foul Today.

0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:41.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, much more with Robert Murray coming up here

0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>on Fair Territory, we're going to talk about Dude and

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Dork of the Week right after this.

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.440
<v Speaker 3>It's summertime. It's bathing suit time, and it's time to

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.639
<v Speaker 3>get a better bathing suit liner. It's twenty twenty five krats.

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:55.800
<v Speaker 3>I would like to feel more comfortable, and I would

0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:57.359
<v Speaker 3>like to thank Fair Harbor for doing that.

0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.200
<v Speaker 2>It's super easy. Get the Fair Harbor breezon it liner

0:20:01.600 --> 0:20:02.360
<v Speaker 2>in your shorts.

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 3>You can go play football on the beach, you can

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:08.000
<v Speaker 3>play paddle ball, and you don't got to worry about

0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:12.159
<v Speaker 3>that crappy liner that other bathing suits have. It is

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:14.879
<v Speaker 3>so comfortable. You gotta check it out. I'm telling you,

0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 3>it's like Butta but a baby. You gotta check out

0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.480

<v Speaker 2>Dude, dude, dude.

0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:59.040
<v Speaker 1>All right, Robert, this is where you and I get

0:20:59.080 --> 0:21:02.639
<v Speaker 1>to give props, give our flowers, give praise to a person,

0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 1>a person's an organization that is doing something good. Who

0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:08.400
<v Speaker 1>is your dude of the week.

0:21:09.560 --> 0:21:11.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how could it not be a J. Prazinski

0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:13.960
<v Speaker 2>and of being Hall of pretty good? I believe that's

0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:16.439
<v Speaker 2>what he's what he got elected to. I mean, does

0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:18.680
<v Speaker 2>it get absolutely better than that? To me, that's better

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.360
<v Speaker 2>than being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Ah good,

0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:26.360
<v Speaker 2>you gotta make AJ feel pretty good on this show.

0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.840
<v Speaker 2>But the that along with his speech that he ended

0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:32.440
<v Speaker 2>up having, I mean, that's as good as it gets.

0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:34.840
<v Speaker 2>So major props to AJ. If you haven't had a

0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:36.680
<v Speaker 2>chance go watch a speech which I believe is on

0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:39.600
<v Speaker 2>the Fall Territory Twitter account, So props to him.

0:21:39.680 --> 0:21:43.159
<v Speaker 1>But what about you, Yeah, Aj Pierzinsky, we love you.

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Congratulations on being in the Hall of pretty good. You

0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:49.800
<v Speaker 1>got you gotta love it, my dude, to the week

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 1>is an organization, it's actually both sides of the equation, Robert.

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to give props to Craig Breslo, the Boston

0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox front office team, their ownership group, and Roman

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Anthony and his team for coming together on what was

0:22:02.680 --> 0:22:06.640
<v Speaker 1>a very tight lipped but very quick deal to extend

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:10.399
<v Speaker 1>the Roman Empire for the foreseeable future at Fenway and

0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:12.800
<v Speaker 1>with the Boston Red Sox. This is a kid, obviously

0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that is going to likely be a superstar, right He

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:19.520
<v Speaker 1>just assigned an eight year extension. I believe one hundred

0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and thirty million could have waited, could have forced it

0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:26.480
<v Speaker 1>into you know, arbitration, free agency, all those types of things,

0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:29.360
<v Speaker 1>but knew he wanted to be in Boston. And good

0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 1>for Craig Breslo and the Red Sox for realizing that

0:22:33.200 --> 0:22:35.400
<v Speaker 1>they needed to lock up one of their young stars

0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and maybe atone for the sins if you will of

0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:43.000
<v Speaker 1>letting the likes of the Mookie Bets type go, you know,

0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:45.440
<v Speaker 1>getting rid of devors, which I understand that whole thing,

0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 1>but maybe they're turning a page with how they're handling

0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:51.200
<v Speaker 1>young stars. Now, the next order of business is to

0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 1>sign Alex Bregman to a long term deal. I live

0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 1>in the Boston area. Vibes are high. You mentioned that

0:22:58.960 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 1>people are feeling good. Let's get Briggie locked up. Congratulations

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:05.680
<v Speaker 1>to Roman Anthony. Those guys are my dude of the week.

0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Time now for our dork of the week, Robert. This

0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 1>is when we're like, what are these people doing? Who's

0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 1>your dork of the week.

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 2>We talked about how high the vibes were in Boston,

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 2>but you also you got to look at the New

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:29.440
<v Speaker 2>York Yankees and their struggles end up being contributing to

0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:32.920
<v Speaker 2>the high vibes in Boston. So I'm going with Brian

0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Cashman and Aaron Boone as the dark of the weeks

0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:39.320
<v Speaker 2>or dorks of the week. Cashman acquired three different bullpen

0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:41.960
<v Speaker 2>arms at the trade deadline, and Jake Byrd, after a

0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:46.280
<v Speaker 2>couple outings, was immediately demoted to triple A. The rest

0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 2>of the relievers David Bednar struggled right away. Camillo d'vall

0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:53.199
<v Speaker 2>has struggled. So all three of the guys that they

0:23:53.280 --> 0:23:56.680
<v Speaker 2>targeted to have this Super bowlpen have struggled almost immediately.

0:23:57.480 --> 0:24:00.200
<v Speaker 2>So I absolutely have to have them as Dork the

0:24:00.280 --> 0:24:03.159
<v Speaker 2>Week because it just it feels right. I expect them

0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 2>to bounce back at some point, but the struggles right

0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:07.600
<v Speaker 2>now with the Yankees are too much to ignore. So

0:24:08.160 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Cashman and Boone, I'm sorry, but you are indeed the

0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 2>dorks of the Week.

0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they are struggling, but at least they're not the

0:24:13.520 --> 0:24:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Colorado Rockies. Robert, I tell you why the Rockies have

0:24:16.880 --> 0:24:19.320
<v Speaker 1>a run deferential. Listen to this, and I'm this is

0:24:19.400 --> 0:24:22.800
<v Speaker 1>not a misspeak. They have a run differential of minus

0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 1>three sixteen for the season. They're one hundred and fourteen games,

0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 1>are the fewest to reach a minus three hundred run

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:35.200
<v Speaker 1>differential since nineteen hundred, surpassing the nineteen eleven Boston Braves

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Boston Rustlers. Rather with the one hundred and eighteen games.

0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:40.280
<v Speaker 1>The last team to reach the mark and fewer games

0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:44.800
<v Speaker 1>was the eighteen ninety nine You weren't breaking news back then,

0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:49.679
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Spiders. In seventy three games. The Colorado Rockies, I believe,

0:24:49.800 --> 0:24:53.399
<v Speaker 1>gave up sixty three runs over the course of their

0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 1>most recent series sixty three runs the Colorado Rockies. The

0:24:58.840 --> 0:25:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Monforts are my dorks of the week. Something with that

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:08.840
<v Speaker 1>organization absolutely needs to change. It is unbelievably embarrassing. They're

0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:11.600
<v Speaker 1>not even a big league team. I do not fault

0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the players. This is not from a lack of effort

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:16.400
<v Speaker 1>for the players at all. I know that they want

0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to win. It obviously wasn't Bud Black's fault because they're

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 1>still not winning with their interim manager. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing,

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:26.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sorry for the fans, and I'm sorry for

0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the players. All Right, that is my dork of the week.

0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Much more here. If you're watching on TV, thank you

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:33.640

0:25:56.640 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 3>a hat, a T shirt, and a lot more coffee

0:26:00.119 --> 0:26:02.800
<v Speaker 3>in the morning. Foul territoryshop dot com is the.

0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Spot, all right, we appreciate that Scotti Bee don't forget

0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:10.639
<v Speaker 1>fair territory or foul territory follows us. Right after this,

0:26:10.800 --> 0:26:14.280
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about Kyle Schwarber right now leading the league

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:17.240
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the National League in home runs. This

0:26:17.359 --> 0:26:20.840
<v Speaker 1>guy's so much fun. I love this team. I love

0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Schwarber. How much fun is it to watch what

0:26:23.520 --> 0:26:25.560
<v Speaker 1>he's been able to do. We know he's a banger,

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:27.639
<v Speaker 1>but he's easy to root for.

0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Oh, he totally is. And in my eyes, besides Shoe Otani,

0:26:33.080 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 2>he's my favorite player in ball and schworbombs are absolutely electrics.

0:26:38.520 --> 0:26:42.399
<v Speaker 2>He's thrived in Philadelphia, He's thrived in Boston, He's thrived

0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:45.080
<v Speaker 2>almost everywhere that he's been. I mean, he did so

0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:48.399
<v Speaker 2>in Chicago, but not to this level. And we're at

0:26:48.440 --> 0:26:52.280
<v Speaker 2>the point now where he absolutely belongs in the MVP conversation.

0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Do I expect him to win it? Like no, but

0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:56.960
<v Speaker 2>his name should absolutely be mentioned within like the top

0:26:57.080 --> 0:26:59.879
<v Speaker 2>five or even top three candidates for sure, And It

0:27:00.160 --> 0:27:02.760
<v Speaker 2>is setting up for what should be the one of

0:27:02.800 --> 0:27:06.600
<v Speaker 2>the most interesting free agencies of this entire offseason, and

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Schwarber is going to have a huge market with I

0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:11.959
<v Speaker 2>would expect Philly to be involved. Boston makes a lot

0:27:12.000 --> 0:27:15.320
<v Speaker 2>of sense as well. And for a guy who was

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:18.560
<v Speaker 2>once non tendered by the Chicago Cubs, he's probably going

0:27:18.640 --> 0:27:20.800
<v Speaker 2>to have five hundred home runs throughout his entire career.

0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Is a very strong candidate for the Hall of Fame,

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:26.680
<v Speaker 2>especially the Hall of pretty Good. He's better than pretty good,

0:27:27.760 --> 0:27:30.359
<v Speaker 2>but he is absolutely the most one of the more

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:33.359
<v Speaker 2>underrated players in ball and he should be rewarded for

0:27:33.600 --> 0:27:34.200
<v Speaker 2>this offseason.

0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:36.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, less than a minute to go in the show,

0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:39.639
<v Speaker 1>does Kyle Schwarber win the home run race in the

0:27:39.760 --> 0:27:42.680
<v Speaker 1>National League? And if so, who is it? If he's

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:44.560
<v Speaker 1>not it? And what about the American League?

0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it'll end up being Shorber in the

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:50.920
<v Speaker 2>National League. I'm not going to bet against Kyle Schwarber,

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:53.840
<v Speaker 2>especially leading the National League in home runs going into

0:27:53.880 --> 0:27:56.359
<v Speaker 2>a free agent year, that to me is a pretty

0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:59.440
<v Speaker 2>special deal. In the American League, I'm gonna I'm gonna

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:01.800
<v Speaker 2>bet on cal Rawley. I think he ends up doing it.

0:28:02.760 --> 0:28:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I know what Judge is as a Fears competitor, but

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go with cal.

0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:06.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:08.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a pretty safe bet in the American lead. Robert,
