1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to the Monday edition of Fair Territory. Memorial

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: Day has come and gone. It is time to take

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: stock of several teams, numerous teams around Major League Baseball.

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: It's no longer early. It is time for us to

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: start judging a little bit, knowing that the season still

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: has four months to go, knowing that a lot can

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: happen in those four months. But hey, the Memorial Day

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: marker is traditionally one where you do take stock. And

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: my producer, Jeremy Meyer, the brains of this operation, suggested

10
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 1: this segment and it's going to be a good one.

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: So let's go, and let's start with teams that have

12
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: a stock up. Now, here's the disclaimer before we get

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: going at all. Not every team will be included in

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: this list or these two lists or three lists that

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: we're about to do. So if your favorite team is

16
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: not there for whatever reason, calm down. We'll talk about

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: your favorite team eventually. These are the teams that we

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: think have a stock up or stock down or in between,

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: based on where we are right now. Okay, let's start

20
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: with stock up, and we're gonna start with some surprise teams,

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: shocking teams. Frankly, the Nationals for one. The Washington Nationals, rebuilding,

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: lead the majors in runs per game. They're the highest

23
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: scoring team in baseball. They are over five hundred this

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: at this point in the season for the first time

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: since July one, twenty twenty one. Are they the game's

26
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: biggest surprise? I don't know. Maybe the White Sox are

27
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: the White Sox. Okay. They went two and four on

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: their trip to Seattle and San Francisco, but they're twenty

29
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: seven and twenty six overall. They meet the Twins on Monday.

30
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: Twins right in the middle of the ALE wildcard race

31
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: with everyone else, and right now the White Sox hold

32
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: the second al wildcard. Okay, are the White Sox the

33
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: biggest surprise? Bigger than the Nationals, bigger than the Saint

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Louis Cardinals. This is another team with its stock up now.

35
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: The Cardinals were not coming from as bad a place

36
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: as the White Sox or even the Nationals, but they

37
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: too are rebuilding. Remember what they did in the offseason.

38
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: Traded Contreras, traded Gray, traded Arnado, and here they are.

39
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: Never mind yesterday getting beat by the miz that's going

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: to happen. They are along with the Nationals and White

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: Sox right in the thick of their races, and they

42
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: are six games over, two and a half games out

43
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: of first place in the National League Central and they're

44
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: holding the second wild card. Another team to discuss. This

45
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: is a team that has come on of late and

46
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: come on against weaker opponents. So I'm not sure we

47
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: can take them all that seriously just yet. But the Diamondbacks.

48
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: Of all these teams that were just talking about, Nationals,

49
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: White Sox, Cardinals, this team is arguably the most talented.

50
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: They have three really good offensive players, Marte Carol Perdomo,

51
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: and after a slow start, they're coming on now. They've

52
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: won nine of eleven. All those games were against the

53
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: Rockies and the Giants. And at the same time, Marte

54
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: finally is hot. And the Diamondbacks, unlike the teams previously mentioned,

55
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: have the hope that they're going to get some really

56
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: good players back as the season progresses. Corbyn Burns foremost

57
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: among them, also aj Puck and Martinez the reliever. These guys,

58
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: justin Martinez, these guys, assuming they come back healthy and effective,

59
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: will really enhance their pitching staff. It's a good team. Now,

60
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: some other teams that their stock is up, but not

61
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: necessarily falling into the surprise category. The Brewers are a

62
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: mild surprise because we always we me and others always

63
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: think they're going to take a step back. I actually

64
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: thought this was the year again that they're going to

65
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: take a step back, and it hasn't happened again. Even

66
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: after trading Freddie Peralta, even after losing Brandon Woodruff and

67
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: several other at the start of the season, several hitters

68
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: Andrew Vaughn and Christian Yelich, Jackson Curio, here they are again.

69
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:12,839
Speaker 1: Now Misrowski, Jacob Misserowski, the Miz legitimate ace. We saw

70
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: it again yesterday. It's incredible what he's doing. He hit

71
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: one hundred and three miles per hour eight times in

72
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: the first inning, triple digits fifty seven times on the day,

73
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: fifty seven times one hundred or more in that one game.

74
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: That's ten more than any pitcher has ever accomplished, at

75
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: least in the pitch tracking eraror which began in two

76
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. The Miz is a phenomenon. He is

77
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: a sy young contender, and he's not their only ace.

78
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: Like picture right now, Kyle Harrison acquired in the trade

79
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: from the Red Sox one point seven to seven ERA

80
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,119
Speaker 1: in nine starts. If he goes six and a third

81
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: tonight in pitch as well, keeps that ERA down around

82
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: where it is, he'll move into the top five in

83
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: ERA as well. So the Brewers are doing it again.

84
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: They are top the Al Central lust two of three

85
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers. But of course mis comes back yesterday

86
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: and shuts down the Cardinals and finally in the stock

87
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: up category, a team that began the season poorly fired

88
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: its manager and has since found its footing. I'm talking,

89
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: of course, about the Philadelphia Phillies. The Philadelphia Phillies. They

90
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 1: had a two and four home stand last week against

91
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and Cleveland slowed down a little bit, But after

92
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: starting nine and nineteen under Rob Thompson, they're eighteen and

93
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: eight under Don Mattingly, eighteen and eight. And this is

94
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: a team now that Zach Wheeler is healthy, and that

95
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: was his pivotal move, if not a more pivotal move

96
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: than a change of managers. With Zach Wheeler healthy, you've

97
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: got Wheeler and Sanchez at the top of the rotation. Sanchez,

98
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: with a consecutive scoreless inning streak, is one of the

99
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: most dominant pitchers in Major League Baseball. Wheeler, of course,

100
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: is one of the great aces in Major League baseball.

101
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: You've got those two guys going really well. You've also

102
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 1: got from an offensive standpoint, Kyle Schwarber leading the majors

103
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: at homer home runs, Bryce Harper doing his thing again,

104
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: looking like, yes, an elite player. So the Phillies, while

105
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: they have some others in their lineup that they need

106
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: to get going, trade Turner among them, they are a

107
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: team that looks like it's going to be quite formidable again.

108
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: So so much for the stock up. And yes, I

109
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: know I didn't talk about the Braves and the Yankees.

110
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about them. The Dodgers, they're good.

111
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: We know that, Todd Bother. I'm a last minute guy.

112
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: Sometimes you're a last minutic guy where you all of

113
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 3: a sudden see a night open up and you want

114
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 3: to go grab some tickets and you hadn't gotten them already,

115
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: So you're gonna seek geek, and you're gonna go look

116
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: for a green dot and see where the good seats are.

117
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 2: And the good value is send have a little night

118
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: with the fam.

119
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 4: Right without a doubt, and I'm looking for some of

Speaker 3: you can use it later.

137
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: Okay, now stock down Territory Now the first team I

138
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: could have put in the stock up and stock down

139
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: category because they've been both this year at various points,

140
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs, as Michael Bush, the first baseman,

141
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: said yesterday, are going through a season of extremes. The

142
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,119
Speaker 1: Cubs have two ten game winning streaks at some point

143
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: this season, and they're in the current nine game losing streak.

144
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: They've lost nine in a row after winning ten in

145
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: a row twice. Call up Jason Stark. He's got to

146
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: figure out if the team's ever done that. I'm sure

147
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: it has happened, but Jason will find out at some

148
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: point whether it's happened of late. So here are the

149
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: Cubs during their nine game losing streak. They've scored only

150
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: twenty four runs. More alarming because they're going to hit.

151
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: They've got four starting pitchers on the injured list, Matthew Boyd,

152
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: Edward Cabrera of course, Justin Steele, and Kate Horton. That's

153
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: going to hurt any team, and that's part of the

154
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: reason they're in the position they are now. Okay, so

155
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: they're a team that at least has done some good things.

156
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk now about some teams that haven't been

157
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: as good. The Texas Rangers, in case you missed it,

158
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: the Texas Rangers were no hit yesterday by the Houston Astros.

159
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: It was a combined no hitter. It was one of

160
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: the more improbable no hitters in Major League history. The

161
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: game was started by Tatsuya Amai, entered with an era

162
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: over eight. The game was finished two winnings finished in

163
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: the final two winnings by a guy making his major

164
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: league debut, Major league debut, alimber Santa Incredible. How did

165
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: these pitchers who have not been successful, not even been

166
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: in the major leagues? No hit? The Texas Rangers, Well,

167
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: Texas is in the middle of a three year running

168
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: problem since winning the twenty twenty three World Series. Their

169
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: problem is that they don't hit, and they were below

170
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: average in twenty four, they were near the bottom in

171
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: twenty five, and now they ranked twenty eighth in runs

172
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: per game. I know they're missing Seger and Langford and

173
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: Josh Smith of course as well, but my goodness, this

174
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: team is one of the great disappointments of the season

175
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: so far. Okay, those are two teams we've talked about

176
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: that are not in a great place. Let's get to

177
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: some others. The Detroit Tigers. Here are the Tigers. They

178
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: entered this season having signed Valdez thinking that they were

179
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: going to be the dominant team in the Ales Central. Well,

180
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: of course it hasn't happened. Right now, eight game losing

181
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: streak that finally ended on Sunday in the second game

182
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: of a doubleheader. But they're ten out in the Division,

183
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: five out in the wildcard race, and they're still waiting,

184
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: of course for Trek Scruble. And they've had some injuries

185
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: beyond Schooble, of course, that have really damaged them. The

186
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: question now people are asking around the game. It's premature,

187
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: but it's a question that is going to be asked

188
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: until the Tigers recover. Will they trade Trek Scruble again?

189
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: Two months until the deadline? So much can change. The

190
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: American League Central not good. American League in general not good.

191
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Tigers, one Schooble returns, once

192
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: they find their footing again, can consider themselves out of contention. Now,

193
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they will keep Schooble. They may view

194
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: their chances as not good enough even with Schooble, but

195
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 1: it's a little early to count them out yet, all right.

196
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: Also in the Als Central, another team like the Rangers

197
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: not getting enough attention for how bad they've been, Kansas

198
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: City Royals. They're only one game ahead of the Tigers.

199
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: The last place Tigers in the Central, losers of eleven

200
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: of their last fourteen. Needed to fix their offense in

201
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: the offseason and did not. Continuing on the Boston Red Sox.

202
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: The Boston Red Sox, well, we know that they've been

203
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: a major disappointment. They fired their manager. Not much changed.

204
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: They were ten and seventeen d Korra, They're twelve and

205
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: fourteen under Chad Tracy, and they're eight and seventeen. Eight

206
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: and seventeen at Fenway Park. That's the worst home record

207
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: in baseball and last, but not least two other teams,

208
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: the Angels. Not much to say about them. They're bad again.

209
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 1: I don't even know that they're worth our time. Then

210
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: there are the Mets, second highest payroll in the major leagues,

211
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: of course, swept by the Marlins over the weekend, last

212
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: in the Analyst fourteen games out, seven and a half

213
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: games out in the Wildcard, still with a number of

214
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: injured players not close to returning. And as if all

215
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: that is not bad enough, their great young ace Nolan

216
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: McClain has struggled in his last two starts. Not a

217
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: lot has gone right for the Mets. This is a team,

218
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: shockingly that, for the second time in three years, could

219
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: be a seller at the deadline. So that's it, stock up,

220
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: stock down. One other thing I want to mention, there

221
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: are a bunch of teams in between. The reason that

222
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: they're in between is because they play in the American League.

223
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm talking about teams that haven't necessarily impressed, but at

224
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: the same time are still in the race. Baltimore Orioles

225
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: best win of the season yesterday. Minnesota Twins been surprising

226
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: so far. They're actually a team that, while below five hundred,

227
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: are currently hold the third al wildcard. And you can

228
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: look at the Blue Jays in this regard as well.

229
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: They've been disappointing. They've had a lot of injuries. Don't

230
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: cease the latest. But in the American League, you can

231
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: see it right there, you're never really out of it.

232
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: So that is it for our stock segment, stock up,

233
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: stock down, stock in Between. We'll be back right after

234
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: this with the Inside Dish, all right, as you can

235
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: see right there at his time. For the Inside Dish,

236
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: the part of the show where I talk about a

237
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: story i've written, something going on in the game, something

238
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: else entirely. But today I'm going to talk about the

239
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: column that I published this morning in the Athletic and

240
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: It's a column about Freddie Freeman, and you can see

241
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: it right there. Wife, Freddie Freeman's baby daughter is making

242
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: him reevaluate his baseball longevity. That's the main theme of

243
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: the column. Freddie Freeman and his wife Chelsea. They have

244
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: four children, and their most recent, born a little over

245
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: a month ago, was their first girl. And Freddie talks

246
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: in the column about how, for whatever reason, it's more

247
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: difficult he feels to be away from his daughter, London

248
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: Rosemary Joy Freeman than it was with his three sons. Basically,

249
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: what he said is, my three sons love baseball, they

250
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: love seeing me play. My daughter, I'm thirty six now

251
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: she's maybe not ever going to see me play or

252
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: remember me as a baseball player. And he just feels,

253
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: like all parents do who are away from work or

254
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: who are missing time with their children. He feels torn

255
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: pangs of regret that he's not with his child. That

256
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: is the gist of the column. I thought it was

257
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: really interesting to hear Freddy expound upon this. All players

258
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: go through this. A lot of people in the real world,

259
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: as Freddie acknowledges, go through this. It is not an

260
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: uncommon thing, but it is something that makes it difficult

261
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: for him to keep going even though he loves the game,

262
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: and he is approaching three milestones that he considers pretty important.

263
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: Three thousand hits, a thousand extra base hits, and five

264
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: thousand total bases. So that is what the column is

265
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: mainly about. But it's also about an element that I

266
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: will want to get into a little bit deeper here.

267
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: It's about Freddie Freeman as a hitter, and it's about

268
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: the state of hitting in today's game. And I remember

269
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: back in the late nineteen eighties and early nineteen nineties

270
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: that was basically the start of my career. Back then,

271
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: analytics were just starting to come into the game. There

272
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: were a few analysts with different teams, and basically back

273
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: then they had to shout to be heard because they

274
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: were derided, they were dismissed. They were guys that people

275
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: thought were adding maybe something, but they didn't want to

276
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: hear it. The old school people in baseball did not

277
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: want to hear it. And this went on for quite

278
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: some time, and the analysts felt like they were being overlooked,

279
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: and rightly so it was wrong that they were not

280
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: taken more seriously at the start. So now analytics are

281
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: a huge part of the game. Of course, they provide

282
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: measurements that help players get better. They give us more

283
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: detailed portraits of who players are and what they can do,

284
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: and they inform us in ways that we've never been

285
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: informed before. And every year it seems that cast provides

286
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: more information and it's been a really cool development in

287
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: the game and something that has enhanced the game. At

288
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: the same time, sometimes I feel that we're at the

289
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: other extreme from where we were in the late eighties

290
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: and early nineteen nineties. Pitching isn't just about velocity and

291
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: spin rate. Hitting isn't just about exit velocity and pulling

292
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: the ball in the air. I always think in baseball

293
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: when you talk about absolutes, when you put things in

294
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: absolutes and say this has to be the way, then

295
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: you're getting into dangerous territory. And as I wrote such

296
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: as the focus on metrics today, that people often lose

297
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: sight or occasionally lose sight of the results. And in

298
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: talking with Dave Roberts over the weekend in Milwaukee, this

299
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: subject came up, and the subject of luck constantly about

300
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: luck with hitters even pitchers too, and how sometimes well

301
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: they're getting unlucky. It's okay it's going to change, and yes,

302
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: more often than not that is the case. But Roberts

303
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: gave two examples that I thought were interesting. The first

304
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: was a situation in which a left handed hitter hits

305
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: a back door slider on the outside part of the

306
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: plate over the shortstop's head. Dave Roberts said, that's not luck,

307
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: that's intent. That is a hitter who is not simply conceding.

308
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: He's going to chase that pitch and try to do

309
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: what he can with it. He is letting that ball

310
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: travel deep, he is getting his bat to the ball,

311
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: and he is skillfully, skillfully putting that ball over the

312
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: shortstop's head, even though it might not be at a

313
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: very high exit velocity. The other example Roberts gave was

314
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: any situation two on two outs first and second, second,

315
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: or third. He said, in that situation, it's not just

316
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: about exit velocity. You're putting the ball in the air.

317
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: In that situation, you need to get a hit. As

318
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: he put it, you've got to hit the outfield grass. Now,

319
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: that's a skill, and the way Dave Roberts described it,

320
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: that's a skill that has to be practiced. And one

321
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: of the reasons Freddie Freeman is so great is that,

322
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: according to Roberts, it is a skill that he does practice,

323
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: practicing the art of getting base hits. Now, it's really

324
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: important to know that. Yes, the numbers point to one thing,

325
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: or a point to at least exit velocity being good,

326
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 1: pulling the ball in the air being good. We know that,

327
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: But there are certain situations and certain players in the

328
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: game that aren't necessarily going to perform in that manner.

329
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: Luis Rise, of course, might be the best example from

330
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: a hitting standpoint. Freddie is something of an example too,

331
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: even though his metrics other than batspeed, which since they

332
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: started measuring it has always been well below average. It's

333
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: other metrics underlying stuff quite good. But at the same time,

334
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: when you're talking about hitting, and when you're talking about

335
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: a hitter and the skill of a hitter, there's more

336
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: to it in certain situations than simply hitting the ball hard. Now,

337
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: I don't want anyone to take this wrong. I don't

338
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: want anyone to get me wrong. I'm not saying the

339
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: numbers are wrong, that we should go back to the

340
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: old days, and nuh, it's old school. We need to

341
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: go back to old school, and this game has just

342
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: gotten away from itself. No, But there is a phrase

343
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: baseball people use called playing the game. And when they

344
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: say playing the game, what they're talking about is not

345
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: just seeking the best metrics, but also trying to do

346
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: things in a nuanced way that will help you win.

347
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: There are all kinds of examples you can use, base running, offense, defense,

348
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: pitching that are examples of playing the game. Pitching in

349
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: a certain way where you are reading hitters swings, there's

350
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: one example. So all of these things they come into

351
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: it too. And there is hope among some baseball people

352
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: that this kind of thing, sort of a thinking man's game,

353
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: is coming back into it. We'll see. And certainly the

354
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: analytics kind of hold sway over many organizations right now

355
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: and are the dominant thing in the game. But there

356
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: is room for everything. There is room for a hitter

357
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: like Luisa Rise. There is a hit room for a

358
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: pitcher who doesn't throw one hundred miles an hour, even

359
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: though it's fun to watch those guys. There is room

360
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 1: for it all. And again, I'm going to say it

361
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 1: one more time, it is dangerous to ever think baseball

362
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: about this being the absolute way or that being the

363
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 1: absolute way. There is not one way to succeed. All right,

364
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: we'll be back with Grill and Ken. Your questions after.

365

Speaker 1: All right, Tifer, Grill and Ken, We'll get to your

388
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: questions in this segment. Let's get right to him. First

389
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: question comes from Foul Territory show. Has the Mis taking

390
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: control of the NLCI Young Race, the NLCY Young Race,

391
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: and Jason Stark has written about this and others have

392
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: mentioned it too. Could be could be one of the

393
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: best in history. Right now, we have five starters, five

394
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: major league starters with eras under two. Is one of them,

395
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: Christopher Sanchez, another, Chris Sale, Bryce Elder and who am

396
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: I missing here? I'm missing somebody. Otani's in there, but

397
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't have enough innings to qualify for the league leaders. Anyway,

398
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: we have a number of great pictures going right now,

399
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: and Paul Stein's doesn't have an ERA under two, but

400
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: he's certainly going to be in the conversation. So the

401
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: first test of who the best pitcher in the National

402
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: League is will be who starts the All Star Game.

403
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: And if I had to guess right now, nothing changes,

404
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: nobody gets hurt. I would say the Mis would be

405
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: the choice to start the All Star Game, just to

406
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: see if he hits one oh five whatever he might do.

407
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: And he is, as you saw yesterday with the twelve

408
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: strikeouts at the Cardinals, just the dominant force in the

409
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: game right now. So it's going to be really interesting

410
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: to see how this develops. And again, we need everyone

411
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: to stay healthy to make this the race that we

412
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: all want it to be. But right now I would

413
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: say yes, mis is the leading contender for the National

414
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: League side. All right, next question this comes from just

415
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: Flu who says, with their recent success, do you expect

416
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: the White Sox to actually be buyers at the deadline? Okay,

417
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: I can answer this, not just for the White Sox,

418
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: but for the Cardinals and the Nationals. What I would

419
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: expect from those three teams, if in two months they

420
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: are still kind of in contention, would be for them

421
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 1: to buy, but not aggressively. Maybe try to enhance their

422
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: team in different ways. Maybe add a bullpen piece here

423
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: or there, or if there's an offensive position where they

424
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: might need help, maybe do that. But they're not going

425
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: to deviate, none of them will from their overall rebuilding plan.

426
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: They are where they are and they are not going

427
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: to jump ahead simply because they've had a good start,

428
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: and that is the right way to go. They should

429
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 1: not ignore what they've accomplished, and they should not send

430
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: them poor message to the clubhouse by doing nothing. But

431
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: at the same time, you don't go for broke and

432
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: try to win a World Series in a rebuilding year.

433
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: It just doesn't work like that. It's not a very

434
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: smart strategic way to go. So I would expect, yes,

435
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: the White Sox to add, the Nets to add, and

436
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: the Cardinals to add if they are still in contention,

437
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,719
Speaker 1: but I don't expect those additions to be really anything

438
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: of a meaningful way. In a meaningful way, they're not

439
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: getting Trek Schoolble, for example, if he becomes available. So okay,

440
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: that's it for the show. I want to thank everyone

441
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: for watching and for listening. Foul Territory coming up at
