Speaker 1: rest of the tournament. Rest of the groups starts tomorrow.

Speaker 1: on Fox. I'll be there for that one and all

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: the way through the WBC SOLA. It'll be a WBC

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: heavy show today.

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,920

Speaker 2: next few weeks, and after that, the best Made League

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: Baseball action all season long. So Ken, let's start our

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 2: WBC coverage on this fair territory with one reason from

22
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: you why each of the top four seeds can win

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: the World Baseball Classic. Let us start with Team Venezuela.

24
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 1: All right, Venezuela. Obviously they're depleted a little bit because

25
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: how two BA is not playing due to the insurance

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: issue and Pablo Lopez of course having Tommy John surgery

27
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: that really hurts their pitching staff. But if you ask me,

28
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: the reason to like this team in this tournament is

29
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: the dynamic combination of Ronald Acuna Junior and Jackson Churio.

30
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: These are two of the most electric players in the game.

31
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: Not to take anything away from anyone else on the

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: Venezuela roster, including of course Salvador Perez, but if you're

33
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: going to see them maybe rake a run in this tournament,

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: it's gotta be with a Cunya and Churio doing some

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: big things.

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: Okay, we talked about Venezuela, but what about the Dominican

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: Republic can I don't think people are giving the dr

38
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: perhaps as much credit or credence as they should be

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: A lot of.

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: One thousand percent and their lineup is every bit is dangerous,

41
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: if not more dangerous than Team usas and who am

42
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: I talking about. I'm talking about vlad Junior and Tatis

43
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: and Manny Machado and Julio Rodriguez and Katel Marte and

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: Rado Perdomo, on and on and on. And you might say, okay,

45
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: but they can't pitch with the US. I'm not so

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: sure about that either. It's Christopher Sanchez at the top

47
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: of the rotation, It's Brian Beao from the Red Sox,

48
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: Luis Severino, and overall, this is a team that really

49
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: can do some things in this tournament because of what

50
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: they have offensively. So I do like them, and I

51
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: would think, along with Team USA, they are one of

52
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: the favorites right now.

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: I would certainly think so. All right, Team Japan obviously

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: the champions can the last time the WBC was played

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: three years ago. What about this team do you like

56
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: as far as a reason that they might be champions again?

57
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: This is the team that has won three of the

58
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: five tournaments and a team that you might not recognize

59
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: all of the names because not all of these players

60
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: are in Major League Baseball, a number of them are

61
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: in NPB, but they still have a formidable group. And

62
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: what I like about them the most is what you

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: see there, the team unity and the style of play.

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: These guys go about it the right way. They play

65
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: a fundamentally sound game. We know this from watching them

66
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: over the years. They're a joy to watch actually from

67
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: a baseball standpoint. So their rotation without Otani is not

68
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: going to be necessarily as strong. They still have Yamamoto,

69
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: they still have Chicano from the Colorado Rockies, and they

70
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: still have Kokuchi as well as the reigning Japanese Sawamura

71
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: Award winner. He's a picture named hiromi Eto. So they're

72
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: going to be as always right in the mix. Do

73
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: they have enough firepower with Mura, Kami and Okamoto and

74
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: all of these guys to beat the US and beat

75
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: the Dominican I don't know. Seya Suzuki also with this team,

76
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: Masa Taka, Yoshida, all these guys, But at the same time,

77
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: we know that they're going to be there, no question

78
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: about it.

79
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 2: And let me ask you this about Team Japan in particular,

80
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: when you look at the dr lineup that has of

81
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: course the names that you mentioned, Juan Soto, all of

82
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: the things, and then you have Venezuela as well. And

83
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: then you look at Team USA, which we're going to

84
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: get to. I think power hitters. I think guys that

85
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: are like hitting the ball over the fence. When I

86
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: think of Japan, I don't necessarily think of sluggers, but

87
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: they do have a unique style of play. Perhaps is

88
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: that an advantage for Team Japan.

89
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: It has been in the past, and you're right, Alonge,

90
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: it's interesting because home runs win, we know that they

91
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: have that element. Seya, Suzuki and Murakami, of course are

92
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,239
Speaker 1: great sluggers, but they do put the ball in play

93
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: generally speaking, and they do things to make teams uncomfortable.

94
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: So yes, that does give them an advantage. But in

95
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: this tournament, it's such a short press time frame, and

96
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: then of course the knockout round is one and done.

97
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: It's going to be really interesting to see how this

98
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 1: goes about with them and the Dominican in the US,

99
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: just kind of how they play against each other.

100
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: Yes, Team USA, can you look up and down the

101
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: lineup one through nine, you begin to salivate. I don't

102
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 2: know that there has ever been a more potent lineup

103
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: assembled under one team than Team USA. Why will they

104
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: win if they do well?

105
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: We've seen the last two days the exhibition games, that

106
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: they've played in Arizona, San Francisco Giants, Colorado Rockies. They

107
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: outscored those teams twenty nine to five. Now, granted it's

108
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: a spring training type environment. Those teams, the Giants and Rockies,

109
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: had lost some of their players for the WBC, but

110
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: we saw that potent US lineup on display and that

111
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 1: is the main reason it can win. But as I

112
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: say here, it's the best roster they've brought to the WBC.

113
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: I know they won in seventeen. I know they had

114
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,039
Speaker 1: a strong roster in two thousand and six, but this

115
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: roster top to bottom, including the pitching staff, especially the

116
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: pitching staff, is its strongest. We have not seen both

117
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: Cy Young winners on a team USA entry in the WBC.

118
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: We'll see it in this tournament, Schiens and Scooball. We'll

119
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: see Logan Web, a top five CY Young finisher. He's

120
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: pitching the opening game against Brazil. So they are a

121
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: really balanced, interesting group. To be sure, they seem to be,

122
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: at least so far, on something of a mission. They

123
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: have this togetherness that maybe Mark Durosa has said, they

124
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: didn't quite have to this extent the last time. So

125
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see how they fare here. They are,

126
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: of course, like every other team in this tournament. Hell

127
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: bet on winning now that they've got to go show it. Yeah.

128
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: Mark Durosa, the skipper, said he really wanted to focus

129
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 2: more on assembling a team unit than just putting a

130
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: bunch of different players together. Wanted to make sure that

131
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: they molded together. Well, okay, we've talked about the top four, ken,

132
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: what about a dark Is there a team that maybe

133
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: we're not paying attention to but could shake things up

134
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: a bit.

135
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you two, Alana, and I'm not

136
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: going to mention Team Mexico because they are right outside

137
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: the top four in my opinion. But the two i'll

138
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: give you are Italy and Canada. Italy has a number

139
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: of major leaguers. They're in USA's group, by the way,

140
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: in Houston, Jack Callian one, Michael Lorenzen, Jacob Marci, Aaron Nola,

141
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: Vinnie Pasquentino, and Kyle Tiel. Those are some of the

142
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: major leaguers that they have on their roster. They're going

143
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 1: to be a formidable challenge for anyone that they play.

144
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: And then there's Canada, same kind of thing. A number

145
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: of major leaguers on their roster as well, Jamison Taione,

146
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: the big pitcher, Freddie Freeman not playing this time around,

147
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: but they still have the Naylor brothers, they still have

148
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Tyler O'Neill, Owen Casey Denzel Clark. So they should be

149
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: an interesting team to watch, a fun team to watch,

150
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: and sure I can see either one of these teams

151
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: maybe pulling off an upset or two, maybe even getting

152
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: out of pool play.

153
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: Adam Odovino also with Team Italy, recently retired of course

154
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: for him Team Italy, though the coaches this picture can

155
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: made me laugh. Of course, you don't necessarily have to

156
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: have the same lineage to the country as a coach

157
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: as you do as a player, but you can see

158
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: their manager Francisco Cervelli, the hitting coach Tod Hipposava, of course,

159
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: the great Yankee pitching coach Dave Righetti, bullpen coach Sal Fossanoh,

160
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: that's definitely Italian, and hitting coach Frank Mancino. So good times.

161
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: This is a fun tournament. But I love to see

162
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 2: this and perhaps you're right, perhaps the Italians are the

163
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: dark horse team of the WBC. All right, one more

164
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: question for you. Someone that isn't necessarily a household name yet,

165
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: but could be by the end of this tournament.

166
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: Well, it's hard to find that, I guess in some

167
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: respects because someone who might not be a household name

168
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: in our country might be a household name in their country.

169
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: So I guess we look at a guy like henromi Eto,

170
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: who I mentioned earlier. He's the best pitcher in Japan

171
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: right now, who is not in Major League Baseball. But

172
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: I'll give you a dark horse from Team USA. Now,

173
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: it's the name we all know, but he's going to play,

174
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: and he's going to play more than Alex Regman did

175
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, Bobby Rich Junior in twenty twenty three.

176
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: Those were the young guys on those teams. The young

177
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: guy on this team is Roman Anthony and he already

178
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: is making a strong impression. He's going to be a

179
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: starting outfielder for Team USA at just twenty one years old.

180
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: So I know that I can say Roman Anthony is

181
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: a dark horse. He's got a big contract, he's a

182
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: big prospect, but he is the youngest member of Team USA,

183
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: and I do expect him to make an impact.

184
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, Roman Anthony, the Roman Empire has certainly been all

185
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: the talk for the Boston Red Sox. They think very

186
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: highly of this young man, as they should. Okay, when

187
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: you're looking about the pool play can in terms of

188
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: games that you're most excited to see, of course, Tmosa

189
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 2: takes the field tomorrow for the first time against Brazili.

190
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: You had mentioned you're on the call on Fox. Is

191
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 2: there a pool play game that you're most excited to

192
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: see in this upcoming tournament?

193
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: USA Mexico? And that was a game the last time

194
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: that was incredibly dramatic. It was in Phoenix the last time.

195
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: It'll be in Houston this time, and of course you

196
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: have both those states. Texas and Arizona are quite close

197
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: to Mexico on the Mexican border, so you'll have a

198
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: number of fans from Mexico in dyke In Park in Houston.

199
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: That's one element of this. And the other element is

200
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: Mexico is a really good team and they have something

201
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: this time that if they had the last time, they

202
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: might have won the whole thing. And that's a closer.

203
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: Andres Munos from the Seattle Mariners is in this tournament.

204
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: Now they don't have Julio Urias they had the last time,

205
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: who was packful for them. But at the same time,

206
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: Mexico with Randy Rosaeda and some of the other plays

207
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: that they will boast in this tournament, they're gonna be

208
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: a fun team to watch and that game is going

209
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: to be probably the biggest of the USA's group going forward.

210
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: Here in pool play.

211
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Benji Gill, the team manager for Team Mexico going

212
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: up against Mark Durosa of Team USA. All with WBC.

213
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: All right here, of course from our friends at Fox one. Vote.

Speaker 2: We're gonna go ahead and keep the WBC theme going here.

223
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 2: We're unfair territory with Ken Rosenthal on this Thursday. So

224
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: I'll ask you, because you are as we mentioned on

225
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: the call, how is covering the WBC different from a

226
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: playoff series or a playoff game.

227
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: It's not that much different in Alanna, honestly, because the

228
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: intensity is really high. I don't know that the attention

229
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: and the media contingent for one of these games is

230
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: what it is for an LCS game or a World

231
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: Series game. But I will tell you this story and

232
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: you'll appreciate this, Elana, as a former dugout reporter yourself.

233
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: So for many years really until twenty twenty three, I

234
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: wore in my ear one IFB in just one ear

235
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: after the WBC in twenty twenty three in Miami. It

236
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: was so loud. I needed to do something different, and

237
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: I was talking to our audio people and they said,

238
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: you can get with the rock Stars where the double

239
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: monitors in both ears and they also have as part

240
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: of that kit present. So I turned to that. And

241
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: it was all because of the semifinals and finals in

242
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: the WBC. So it was loud, and from that perspective,

243
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: it is like a playoff game maybe in some respects

244
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: in Miami. If you have say the Dominican Republic playing

245
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: Venezuela or the Dominican Republic playing in the US, it

246
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: can be even louder. The crowd is divided and it's

247
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. It's just incredible atmosphere and an

248
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,719
Speaker 1: absolute blast, different than a playoff game, but unique and

249
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: special in its own way.

250
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 2: Can let's expand on that for a moment. The atmosphere,

251
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 2: I mean, you think about games in the United States,

252
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 2: and of course there are fans and they're boisterous and

253
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 2: they're having a great time. But I would don't think

254
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: of our fans as having a bunch of props. You

255
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: go to these WBC games or you know, winter Ball

256
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: and Venezuela or whatever, and there's props, and there's music,

257
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 2: and there's chants, and there's traditions and speak to the

258
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 2: atmosphere creating to all of that noise that you were

259
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: just talking about. And how much people really get into.

260
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: This, well, the one thing that defines this tournament is passion.

261
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: Passion from the players and yes, passion from the fans.

262
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: And that is at I would say a higher level,

263
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: a more intense level than what you would see normally

264
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: in I don't know, even a playoff game, and certainly,

265
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, playoff games fans are really intense,

266
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: but national pride is at stake here and maybe not

267
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: for the US so much as for the Latin American

268
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: countries and for Japan, Korea, some of the Asian countries.

269
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: That passion, that feeling of needing to win this tournament,

270
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: badly wanting to win this tournament. That takes the fan

271
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: level to another area, and that's what makes it so cool.

272
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: So we've seen it grow in the US and we've

273
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: seen people become more interested, fans become more interested. But

274
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: it's that passion from the other countries that kind of

275
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: is what we had to catch up to, both as fans,

276
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: that level of it, and also from the player's perspective,

277
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: they didn't necessarily see it the same way as they

278
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: do now. Paul Golchman has talked about this. He is

279
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: the only US player to appear for Team USA in

280
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: three WBCs, and he said, going back to twenty seventeen,

281
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: his first one, that a lot of the best players

282
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: didn't play, and the team that took the field kind

283
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: of had a chip on his shoulder because hey, they

284
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: knew that people were saying this is not the best

285
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: US team. That's not a problem anymore.

286
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 2: One more question about the WBC and then we'll get

287
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: into some other baseball related stuff. Questions from our chat.

288
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 2: Why are there not challenges in the WBC. Obviously there

289
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 2: are challenges now in Major League Baseball. The ABS system

290
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: is coming into play this season in twenty twenty six.

291
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: Why not in the World Baseball Classic.

292
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: Well, because ABS has not been used yet in Major

293
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: League Baseball, and I don't know that all of the

294
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: stadiums around the world are equipped with ABS. Fact, I'm

295
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: pretty sure they're not. That is the reason. Once this

296
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: takes hold in Major League Baseball, perhaps in the next WBC,

297
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: we will see ABS, and I can anticipate that happening.

298
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: But that's why this time around it's not going to

299
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: be in effect.

300
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: All right, makes more sense, all right? Some questions now

301
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: coming in from the chat. We always appreciate you guys participating.

302
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: Wicked Better fifty four, can you report it in your

303
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: latest article that the Astros have interest in Lars Nutbar

304
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: and Alex Barlson. Which one is more likely to be

305
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: traded to Houston and would be the better fit?

306
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: All right, Wicked Better, I didn't report it exactly like that.

307
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: I said Saint Louis was a potential fit for the Astros.

308
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that they have serious interest in Newt Bar.

309
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: I would imagine they do in Burlson. He's a really

310
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: good young player, but it seems to me that a

311
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: straight up trade between those two is kind of impossible.

312
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: The player that the Astros would like to move is

313
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 1: Estoc Parades. Esoc Parades is not a player the Cardinals need. Now,

314
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: if the Cardinals could spin parades somewhere else, for instance, Boston,

315
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: then you have something. And this actual combination Houston, Saint Louis,

316
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: Boston discussed the parameters of a Brendan Donovan deal, so

317
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: they've been down this road before. I don't know that

318
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: it's going to happen, but who knows. Maybe it could.

319
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: And the difference here is, if indeed this was to

320
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: come to pass, I would expect that what Houston would

321
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: be getting would be a left handed hitting outfielder from Boston,

322
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: not from Saint Louis. So I don't know how feasible

323
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: it is. But when you're talking about the Astros, they need,

324
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: as I wrote, to trade parades for a left handed

325
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: hitting outfielder, and obviously the Cardinals have those. Perhaps they

326
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: can involve another third team that would take parades.

327
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 2: Keen Ce Carrera nine to five to one. Wants to

328
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: know this. Would it have been crazy to invite Connor

329
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: Griffin to the WBC.

330
00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: Yes, that would have been a leap too far. And

331
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: the question is valid because, as I mentioned in twenty seventeen,

332
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: they took Bregman. In twenty twenty three they took Bobby

333
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: Wick Junior, but those guys were established in the majors

334
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,959
Speaker 1: by then. This year, thanks to the injury to Corbyn

335
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: Carroll Roman, Anthony is like the designated young guy, the

336
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: Christian Lightner nineteen ninety two Dream Team version of what

337
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: we're going to see here. Griffin is not yet a

338
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: major league. He's nineteen years old. He needs to get

339
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: involved in the majors before I would expect the WVC

340
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: would be a place for him.

341
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: Ken, we have a new member to our foul Territory family,

342
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: and it's a family that you know very well. Why

343
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 2: don't you tell us who the latest addition to FT is.

344
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: Well, yes, I'm very happy to announce Alana that the

345
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: Twin Towers from the Baltimore Sun are back under the

346
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: same banner. Foul Territory Network proudly welcomes Tim Kirchen and

347
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: his son Jeff's show. Is this a great game or

348
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: what Now? When we were at the Baltimore Sun, were

349
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: actually at different parts of the Baltimore Son. We were competing.

350
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: He was at the Morning Sun and I was at

351
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: the Evening Sun. You might ask why are we called

352
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: the twin Towers because the late manager of the Baltimore Orioles,

353
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: Frank Robinson, dubbed us as such. This was a time

354
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: when Jakima Ladjawan and Ralph Samson were the actual Twin Towers.

355
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: We obviously, Tim and I are not twin towers. That

356
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: is why Frank gave us that nickname. And in short,

357
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 1: he would just call us sometimes the Towers. What are

358
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: the Towers got for me today?

359
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: That's great? I love that. Obviously neither of you was

360
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 2: blessed with hype, but you were blessed with unbelievable intellect

361
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 2: and unbelievable writing skills. What's the one thing we should

362
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: know about Tim Kirchin?

363
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 1: The one thing people should know about Tim Kirchin is

364
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: that when he was on the beat for the Dallas

365
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: Morning News and then the Baltimore Sun, that nice guy

366
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: you see on television, and that is Tim's personality. He's

367
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: an extremely nice guy, warm, big heart, but that guy

368
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: that wasn't the guy competing against me every day and

369
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: kicking my butt every single day. I was hired at

370
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: twenty four years old basically to compete with him, and

371
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: that was Harlem Globe Trotter's Washington Generals. I mean I

372
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: got smoked literally every day. I beat Tim once. I

373
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: always tell the story in two years I got him once.

374
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: It was not even that big a story. And the

375
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 1: next day he came back Alona with like four different

376
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: things that I didn't have, and it was almost as

377
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: if he was sending a message to me, don't ever

378
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: do that again. It was rather disparaiting, to say the least.

379
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 2: It is a scrappy little guy that Tim Kirchen. Well,

380
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: congratulations to Tim and to Jeff Kirchen. We're very happy

381
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 2: that you are a part of the foul Territory family.

Speaker 2: and it's another one of your colleagues that you have

393
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 2: a great amount of respect for.

394
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: Who isn't the new play by play man for NBC's

395
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Baseball Jason Bennetti Due to the week. Jason

396
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: worked at Fox for some time. Of course, he is

397
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: the Tigers broadcaster on a daily basis. I had the

398
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: privilege of doing some games with him, and believe me,

399
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: it was a privilege. Congratulations to Jason. He is totally

400
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: deserving of this, and if you haven't heard him, I

401
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: highly suggest you listen to him. He is hilarious, he

402
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: is knowledgeable, and he is, as they say in Boston, Alana,

403
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: wicked smart.

404
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 2: Wicked smart. Congratulations did you and Benetti? I have a

405
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 2: little bit of the same kind of line of thinking,

406
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 2: but mine due to the week is the Detroit Tigers

407
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: can the way that they handled the Bennetti announcement kind

408
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 2: of the promotion, of course to getting to NBC Sports,

409
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 2: still praising him, still loving the way that he's going

410
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: about his business. Also though, congratulating him for being able

411
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 2: to take on the new role and national role with NBC,

412
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 2: and obviously saying listen, he's still going to be a

413
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 2: part of our broadcast. He's just going to step away.

414
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: Good for them, Good for the Tigers for letting him

415
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 2: do it, and for praising him as well. All right,

416
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: time now for our dork of the week. All right,

417
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 2: so our dork of the week, go ahead, Ken, you

418
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: have the honors.

419
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: Two words in need, I say more. Jerkson profar. Now,

420
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: his case has not been totally decided yet, but he

421
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: has been suspended for one hundred and sixty two games

422
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: for a second violation of baseball joint drug policy with

423
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: the Union. That decision is under appeal, likely won't be

424
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 1: decided for several weeks, but his suspension will begin Friday.

425
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: I had one time a source who would say to me,

426
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: you gotta be really dumb to failure drug test. Well

427
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: that's two for Jerrekson. So we'll see how this resolves.

428
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: But dork of the week until proven otherwise.

429
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, my dork of the week. The Atlanta Braves not

430
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: because of what Jerks and Profar did. But just because

431
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: they basically copied and pasted most of their Jerks and

432
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 2: Profar statement, And it's unfortunate Ken that they had to

433
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: do it to begin with. I mean, basically, they just

434
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 2: took out that they were, you know, surprised, because in

435
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five they were surprised and extremely disappointed to

436
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: learn that Jerks and Profar tested positive for performance enhancing substance.

437
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: But take a look at the twenty twenty six to one, Ken,

438
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 2: They basically just took out the word surprise and were

439
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 2: incredibly disappointed. I mean, it just basically a copy and

440
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: paste situation. But honestly, fool me once, shame on you

441
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 2: for me twice, or fool me once, shame on me.

442
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: We'll meet to whatever the heck of the thing is.

443
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 2: But the point is, Jerks and Profart, what are you

444
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:05,239
Speaker 2: doing all right?

445
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: Guys?

446
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for watching and listening. We

447
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 2: appreciate it very much. Congratulations again to Jason Benetti, very

448
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 2: proud of you, very happy for you. Don't forget fair

449
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 2: with Ken is back on Monday. Enjoy the World Baseball Classic.

450
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you then,
