Welcome back, everybody, Welcome back to 3 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 2: Pinstripe Territory presented by Fox One. Start your seven day 4 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 2: free trial at foxwe dot com. I am here with 5 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 2: the one, the only, the man, the myth, the legend, 6 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 2: Frankie Baseball. And the reason why he is a legend 7 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: is because Frankie stayed up to watch Game three. We 8 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 2: were gonna do a post game last night. I had 9 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,960 Speaker 2: the bright idea of let's do a show at eleven PM. 10 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: Game didn't enduntil like three o'clock in the morning. Frankie, 11 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 2: I got a text from you. I woke up at 12 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 2: six point fifty this morning to go to work, and 13 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 2: I'm getting ready to hop in the shower, and I 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: remember that there was a World Series game that was 15 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 2: tied when I went to sleep at midnight, and I 16 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: look at my phone to see one of the first 17 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: thing I see the text from Frankie that says they're 18 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: still playing, and I see it's two two or it's 19 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: a two in the morning. So Frankie, tell me about 20 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: your night. FRANKI you muted. Oh wait, hang on, hang on, sorry, 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 2: I had you muted. Frankie, go ahead, Okay, that's great. 22 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 3: Hello, Derek. It was a long, long night for all 23 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 3: of us. I'm tired, but ready to go. We were 24 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 3: already talking heading into the game where one time we 25 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: did the show around the ninth inning, we were saying like, 26 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 3: this is a classic World Series game, and that was 27 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 3: just the first half of it. 28 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 2: Amazing. 29 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 3: I think there was a whole another half and this 30 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 3: game definitely slowed down the bullpens. Really, it is amazing 31 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 3: to me that two awful bullpens. I think we all 32 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 3: agreed on we're you're pretty terrible heading into this postseason. 33 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 3: We're the Dodgers in the Blue Jays, and yet they 34 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 3: were like just pitching absolutely lights. I couldn't tell if 35 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 3: it was the bullpens being that light's out or if 36 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: it was the offense is just completely shutting down. It 37 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: was weird, but yeah, from the tenth thening on, the 38 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 3: bullpens were just just toying with the offenses as well. 39 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 3: You had Kershaw come in there in the twelfth and 40 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: that it made for a great moment there getting out 41 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 3: of the bases loaded jam, and then you had it 42 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 3: was the second longest baseball, the second longest World series 43 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 3: game by time, tied for the longest by innings because 44 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 3: in the bottom of the eighteenth win now outs Freddy 45 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: Freeman does what he did last year. To us, the 46 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 3: man just has a knack for pulling it doing it. 47 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 3: In October in the World Series, hits that home run 48 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 3: deep center. It didn't look like it was gonna go 49 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 3: out at first. I think people were kind of skeptical. 50 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 3: They thought it was gonna die at the wall. But 51 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 3: somehow it went over and the Dodgers, with a monumental win, 52 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 3: win Game three, and to me, I think they won 53 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 3: the series. Maybe it's too early to say, but that's 54 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 3: just the kind of loss. I don't know a few 55 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 3: the Blue Jays, I don't know how you bounced back 56 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 3: on that. That is such a crippling loss. To come 57 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: back when you're that close, you have multiple chances to 58 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 3: win the game, and the Dodgers win it in the eighteenth. 59 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 3: You use up a lot of your bullpen. It's gonna 60 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: be very difficult to me for me to see how 61 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: Toronto is able to bounce back. But what a great game. 62 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 3: It was an honor to be able to watch that 63 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 3: and cover that for Foul Territory and just watch it 64 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 3: as a baseball fan. 65 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: It was a really late I was. I was astonished 66 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 2: to see the result. And Frankie, see if you can 67 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: zoom a little bit closer, I'm thinking, we can quite 68 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: see the pores of your skin. So here's the few things. 69 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: I was blown away. Why Yamamoto was gonna warm up 70 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: or he was warming in the to go in the 71 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 2: game after throwing a complete game, which is just absurd 72 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: to me. Uh And that's the kind of guy I 73 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 2: wish we had on our team. And you know, it 74 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,399 Speaker 2: got me thinking about, you know, the alternate universe, which 75 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: we'll talk in a second, where the Yankees could have 76 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: had Otani, they could have had U Yamamoto. They tried 77 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: to get both these guys. But the other thing that 78 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: I want to talk about was how often Otani was 79 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: on base. He was on base nine times, he kept 80 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 2: getting intentionally walked. We got a phone call about this 81 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 2: from Steve from Italy, who always has awesome takes. So 82 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 2: I'm gonna play it and then we can get your response. 83 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: All right, Hey, Derek, this is Stephen from Italy. I'm 84 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: coined because I'm listening to Michael Kay on Tuesday talking 85 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: about the eighteen World Series game, and he's going on 86 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: a point that he's brought up before about intentional walks, right, 87 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: that you're taking the best player in the game out 88 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: at the most crucial moment. And I understand what he's saying, 89 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: and I even can see that there's a point there, 90 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: But I see think he's because there's in no other 91 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: sport can you take out the most important player on 92 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: the field at the crucial point. But I think he's 93 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: missing something, which is that you no, very rarely do 94 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: you see somebody throw it the head or even hit 95 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: in the head, you know, the Arran Judges or Shohio Tani's, 96 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: And the reason is you can intentionally walk them so right, 97 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: But in football you see concussions of quarterbacks all the 98 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: time because you can and you can't intentionally walk the quarterback. 99 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: So I'm afraid that if you got rid of intentional 100 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: walks or limited them, you know, we might start seeing, 101 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, the great hitters in the game start getting 102 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: thrown at to take them out. Maybe I'm remembering, you know, 103 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: I'm sixty five now, I'm a year older than Michael. Okay, 104 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: maybe I'm remembering how baseball used to be, and maybe 105 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: it's become more civilized. I don't know, and so you know, 106 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: I'm anyway. That's just my thought on the subject. 107 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: So yeah, I appreciate the call, Steve from Italy. I 108 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 2: I listened to the Michael Kapiece after I got that call, 109 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,119 Speaker 2: and I was thinking about it. Intentional walks do suck. 110 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: They do suck, But I don't think that I don't 111 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: think that you would start seeing guys get thrown at more. 112 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: I think you would just see like bad pitches. I 113 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 2: think you would just see like guys. I mean, what's 114 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: to stop somebody from just throwing a ball in the 115 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: dirt right or up and away, like really really high. 116 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: You know, I don't think that you would necessarily see 117 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: guys get maliciously thrown out, especially at the head. I mean, 118 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 2: just if people start throwing at or Tani's head, I mean, 119 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: baseball would hand out suspensions like you wouldn't believe or 120 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 2: judge for that matter, or any other other big stars. 121 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: But I do think that the intentional walk does suck. 122 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 2: So maybe maybe this, you know, we've changed the rules 123 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: enough to where we can make a little tweet. We 124 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 2: got a ghost runner at second base to begin extra innings, 125 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: during this I mean, we're gonna have automated balls and 126 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 2: strikes for you know occasionally next year, how about this 127 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 2: one intentional walk per game from A from A that way, 128 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: you know, if Judge is coming up with a runner 129 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 2: on second and one out in the ninth inning, right 130 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 2: and you got Stanton on deck, Okay, maybe it does 131 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 2: make sense to walk Judge in that spot and set 132 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 2: up the double play. But you all have to have 133 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: saved that. You can't walk him with you know, nobody 134 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 2: on in the fourth inning like the Jays did, you 135 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 2: know earlier this year. So give me your thoughts on that. 136 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 3: First of all, watching the game last night and seeing 137 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 3: Schneider intentionally walk Otani over and over again, I'm thinking, like, 138 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 3: we've all seen this as Zankee fans, We've seen him 139 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 3: use this with Judge so many times, just to so 140 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 3: this wasn't surprising to me at all. I thought the 141 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 3: same thing you did when they were talking about banning 142 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: the intentional walk. I'm thinking, if this happens, you know, 143 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 3: like Schneider all of a sudden, it's gonna be like, 144 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 3: you know what, in this sense time, I'm gonna pitt 145 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 3: to a TONI No, it's gonna be more like bad pitches, 146 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 3: and it's gonna be be what intentional walk used to be, 147 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 3: which was, you know, back back in my day, intentional walk. 148 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 3: You you actually had to throw all four balls for 149 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: the intentional walk, and it really right. 150 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: Somebody somebody would occasionally throwing over the catcher. 151 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. I remember one time there was a guy who 152 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 3: I tried to intentionally walk it. I forget who it was, 153 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 3: but he misstimed it and the guy like hit a 154 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: single up the center. I gotta find that highlight, but 155 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 3: it's it's one of my favorite highlights out there was 156 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 3: like oh five or six or something like that. But yeah, 157 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 3: I don't think I think banning the intentional walk is 158 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 3: not going to fix that. I do like the idea 159 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: of maybe one intentional walk of games. I think it 160 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: does add some strategy to it, but like I said, 161 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 3: we're gonna end up with just more fake intentional walks. 162 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: And I appreciate the transparency of it as opposed to 163 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 3: you know, some guys hiding behind and even even the 164 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 3: last that bat that they finally decided not to intentionally 165 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: walk out to any but they threw like four balls, 166 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 3: so it was like it was kind of like intentionally 167 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 3: walking in but not really. So I'd rather just the 168 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 3: honesty of yeah, we're just sending you, send you on 169 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: your way, we'll bring the next guy up. It speeds 170 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 3: the game up. So I'd rather have that than any 171 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 3: banning of the walk. I don't know if that's gonna happen, 172 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 3: but uh, I thought I would. I thought I would. 173 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 2: I'd keep it the way it is, all right, So 174 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: let's talk about the alternate Otani verse, because the Yankees 175 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: were in on him, and in fact, they were considered 176 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: a favorite when he was originally a free agent as 177 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 2: a youngster, and you remember they pivoted. I believe they 178 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: got John Carlos Stanton that winter one. I'm not one 179 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: hundred percent sure that he would still be in New 180 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: York if even if he had signed with the Yankees, 181 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: because you know, he's had you know, he had that 182 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: massive free agent thing. And I don't know if that 183 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 2: hal Steinbrenner would have gone to seven hundred million even 184 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: if they liked him at that point, right, I mean, 185 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: I think that he would have cheaped out at that 186 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 2: but maybe, I mean he went pretty high for for 187 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 2: want Soto, so I could be wrong there, but I'm 188 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 2: just thinking, like, how the how how many championships would 189 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 2: we have won by this point? If Otani had picked 190 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: the Yankees, I think we would have definitely won it 191 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: in twenty two, you know, and Judge on the same 192 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 2: and we might have won one hundred and fifteen games. 193 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 2: You know. I think this year we probably would have 194 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 2: gotten by the Jas with Otani and Judge on the 195 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 2: same team. I mean the way that that changed the 196 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: baseball universe for the Yankees wanting Otani so bad and 197 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 2: not getting him, and I'm sure there's other teams that 198 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 2: are lamenting that they didn't get him also, but the 199 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 2: fact that the Yankees were so heavily linked to the 200 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: point where like I personally was doing like a show, 201 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: Hey O Tani build on MLB show where I was 202 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 2: playing through his MLB career as a Yankee, by the way, 203 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: and I had to have two of them because he 204 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 2: was a pitcher and a hitter, so you had to 205 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 2: have like a duplicate very which was weird. So it 206 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: was anyway, I just I imagine what the world would 207 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: have been like. You think we'd have a couple more 208 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 2: chips if he had chosen New York and and by 209 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 2: that extension, he would have a couple of more chips. 210 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 3: To quote Lebron James, not four, not five, not six. 211 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 3: It would have been It's hard to not see Otani 212 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 3: being on this team and for the Yankees to not 213 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 3: be a potential dynasty. I never really from my recollections 214 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen or from everything I've heard afterwards, it 215 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 3: seems like Otani, while the Yankees wanted it, seems like 216 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 3: he was never interested in living in New York for 217 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 3: some reason. He preferred the La lifestyle. So I mean, 218 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 3: it ended up working out well for him, but it 219 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 3: is a bummer that he wouldn't have that for whatever reason. 220 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 3: He just was never interested in New York. And again, 221 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 3: as you mentioned, the second time, when we had a 222 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 3: chance to go after him and get him, and I 223 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 3: don't feel like he was really linked back in twenty 224 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 3: twenty three, I don't feel like he was was the 225 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 3: Dodgers in the Blue days were like the main although 226 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 3: to be fair, the Blue Jays that may have been. 227 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 3: It seems like he was always gonna go to the Dodgers. 228 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: He just he just likes it out there. He likes 229 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: the West Coast living. But yeah, I can't imagine that 230 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 3: if we don't have Otani out there that this team 231 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 3: is I much rather would have preferred Otani over Stanton 232 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: the last six seven years. It's also crazy because remember 233 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 3: Otani was struggling out of the game. Remember the first 234 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 3: spring training he came up, he was awful. That's when 235 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 3: PRINCESSA made the legendary take about you know, the Yankees 236 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 3: will look at it in goot Otani, which ended up 237 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 3: being right on the money. 238 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 2: It's a pretty bad take for the gold It's a 239 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 2: pretty bad take. 240 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 3: Horrendous, And then he was I never said that, and 241 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 3: then he was injury prone the next few years, and 242 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 3: then it wasn't until twenty twenty one that he finally 243 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 3: got his act together and he was started to be healthy, 244 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 3: and he's ripped off this incredible five year run that 245 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 3: if it wasn't for Judge hitting sixty two, we would 246 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 3: have had five MVPs. 247 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: In a row. 248 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 3: So it is it's quite remarkable what this man has 249 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 3: been able to do. But I do woman, even though 250 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 3: Stanton has been for the most part great for us, 251 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 3: Judge Otani on the same team and then Judge A 252 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 3: Twani and maybe Soto for one year that would have 253 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 3: been that. 254 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: I would have been insane. I doubt they would have 255 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: got him, but you know, yeah, so international stars. I 256 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 2: feel like the Yankees haven't had an international stars since Tanaka. Really, 257 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: I mean, they used to be in on everybody. I 258 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 2: mean back in the nineties you got to Robu and 259 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 2: obviously he didn't end up working out, like he didn't 260 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 2: end up working out in the colloquial sense of, uh, 261 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: you know, he didn't play well, but also I don't 262 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 2: think he worked out very much. But also you know, 263 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 2: he ended up being a little bit of just a 264 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: just a misfit. You know, he didn't he didn't work 265 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: out well with the arrest Rest in peace Hideki, But 266 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 2: then you know, Hideki Matsui ended up being fantastic when 267 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 2: they brought him over. Tanaka ended up being fantastic. Okayagawa 268 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 2: not so much. Jose Contreras the one who earned them 269 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 2: the nickname the Evil Empire. And I'm not sure if 270 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 2: you're familiar with this story, but when the Red Sox 271 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: and Yankees were both going after Jose Contreras, the Yankees 272 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 2: rented out every hotel like on the island, like on 273 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 2: that that in that country, basically so that Contreras couldn't 274 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 2: uh meet with the Red Sox or whatever, and they 275 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 2: still ended up meeting, you know at some point or no, 276 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 2: you know what, I've got it backwards. I've got it backwards. 277 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 2: The Red Sox rented out every hotel room on the 278 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 2: island so he couldn't meet with the Yankees, and the 279 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 2: Yankees still won. And that's that's when that got coined 280 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 2: the Evil Empire, that's what it was. But Contreras didn't 281 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 2: end up being that great. He did win a World 282 00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 2: Series in two thousand and five with the White Sox. Yeah, 283 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 2: he said, l Duke in ninety eight, Uh, they also 284 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: had Little Duque. A lot of people don't remember this guy, 285 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: Adrian Hernandez, who only pitched for the Yankees a couple 286 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: of times, but had a very similar like kick. I 287 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 2: think it's time, Frankie, that the Yankees get back into 288 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 2: the international market, and more specific if if the Dodgers 289 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: are gonna get everybody from Japan, I think the Yankees 290 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 2: need to start going after Cuba. I think they, you know, 291 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 2: because it's much closer. It's like a it's a short 292 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: trip you know to uh, you know, to Florida where 293 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: he can visit the other people who have from his 294 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 2: family who have come over, you know, and nobody wants 295 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 2: to play in Florida. Let's be honest, there's no good 296 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: you know, Marlins stink, the Raised stink. If you're gonna 297 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 2: play on the East Coast for a star team, you're 298 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 2: an international star. You're gonna play for the Yankees. I 299 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: think the Yankees need to make you know Cuba once again. 300 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: Their's thoughts on that? 301 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 3: Well, Uh, first of all, that was a funny statement 302 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 3: that you made of just thinking back to it, now, 303 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 3: the Red Sox and Yankees are gonna being more Pojose contourists. 304 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 3: It's just such a funny thing to imagine back then. Also, 305 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 3: I'll I might get this wrong and the comments section 306 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 3: correct me. Where is our oldest chapman from because is 307 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 3: he from Cuba or not? 308 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 4: Oh? 309 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's from Cuba, but he went I didn't get 310 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 2: him like out of Cuba, you know what I mean. 311 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: Like when I say get an international star, I mean 312 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 2: they also had Harookikrorota, right, But when I say get 313 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 2: an international star, I mean somebody coming to the major leagues, 314 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 2: like debuting as a rookie like Murakami would fit that 315 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 2: that mold, but I don't. I don't want the Yankees 316 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 2: to get Murakami. You know, Saya Suzuki was somebody that 317 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: I was very interested in. Jung Huli was somebody that 318 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 2: I was very interested in. And they they went to 319 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: other teams. You know, uh, the guy for the Red Sox, 320 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: now not in Matsuzaka, the I forget his name, the 321 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 2: left handed hitting outfield, I forget his name. But I 322 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 2: think it's time the Yankees get back in the market. 323 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 3: No, absolutely, I was actually just thinking, like, you know what, 324 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 3: Dodgers have all these Japan stars, Why not you can 325 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 3: you can go out there and get get get one 326 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 3: or two of these guys. The Dodgers can't have all 327 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 3: of them. I'm sorry, La, you can have like there 328 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 3: has to be has to be a. 329 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: Kyosh I'm sorry. 330 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: There should be one cap going on. The cap that 331 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 3: should be discussed is the Dodgers cap on acquiring Japan players. 332 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 3: You gotta let us have some, Okay, let us have 333 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: one of these guys from there. But yeah, international stars. 334 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 3: You get a whole new fan base out of it. 335 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 3: I mean, think about how back to the Dodgers, how 336 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 3: successful it's been for them to bring over how much 337 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 3: money having Otani and Tasaki and Yamamoto, how profitable it's 338 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 3: been for them. So yeah, Yankee should absolutely Yah Cuba, 339 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 3: anyone from over there is great. My favorite international star 340 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 3: Yankees have had. Well, yeah, it's it's probably either a 341 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 3: tie between Matsui because he was the guy that had 342 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 3: when I when he was growing up, and of course 343 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 3: saying the capstone to his Yankee career, that great on 344 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 3: nine World Series that he had, and then Tanaka just 345 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 3: how many times was that guy so reliable fir ust 346 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 3: for so many years, What a fun player to watch, 347 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 3: what a great picture. And I still I know that, 348 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 3: you know, eventually he had to go, but I missed him. 349 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 3: I missed him so much. He was just such an 350 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 3: electrified like that what performance they have Game five of 351 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 3: twenty seventeen, and then he was. 352 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: I think he also had Game three of the Alds 353 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: where he turned the series. That was the Greg Bird 354 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 2: home run game where he was phenomenal. Then of course 355 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 2: he was phenomenal basically throughout the rest of his postseason 356 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: career with the Yankees. All Right, so the game is starting. 357 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: We got two outs in the top of the first inning, 358 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: Otani on the mound. So I'm gonna run a quick 359 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 2: ad and then Frankie and I are going to discuss 360 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 2: how the Yankees get back to the World Series, just 361 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: to wrap things up, and then we'll let you watch 362 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: the game. We started a little bit late, so I 363 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 2: probably shouldn't compete directly with the World Series, but we'll see. 364 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 5: This episode of FT is brought to you by Hule 365 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 5: Cheers Chers.

There's a bug 388 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 2: with my software now where after a video it mutes me. 389 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: And I figured that out last night and figured it 390 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,040 Speaker 2: out today, but I'm slow to react to it. So 391 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 2: E Cam Live if if you're watching, you got a 392 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 2: bug in your new updated software. So we got to 393 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 2: fix that. Okay, So Yankees got to get back to 394 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 2: the World series. What are your two moves that you're 395 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 2: making to you know, put us over the top this winter. 396 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 3: To move, well, it would be fire Aaron Moon and 397 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 3: fire Brian Cassper. 398 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 2: Oh, come on, let's get a place, let's see who would. 399 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 3: I bring in your You give me some ideas first, 400 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 3: I'll me think of someone. 401 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 2: Well. You know, I really like the idea of bringing 402 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,200 Speaker 2: Bellinger back. But I like the idea of Tucker and Bellinger. Okay, 403 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 2: so that's interesting to me because I think Tucker gives 404 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: you an extra offensive dimension. Now, the problem with that 405 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 2: is it makes Dominguez expendable in the outfield unless you 406 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 2: play Bellinger at first base, and then Rice becomes your catcher, 407 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 2: and then I think if you do all that, you 408 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 2: become a little bit too left handed, so you'd have 409 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 2: to make some other moves. But those two, bringing them 410 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 2: both into the lineup next year, I think gives the 411 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: Yankees a really, really good offense. They would need to 412 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 2: supplement it with the right handed bat. I've been advocating 413 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 2: for trading Austin Wells to the Marlins to get Augustine 414 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 2: Ramirez back, who was the guy the Yankees traded away 415 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 2: for Jazz Chisholm. I think they would make that deal 416 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 2: because I think that Wells probably would have will have 417 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 2: a longer career as a catcher than Ramirez. You know, 418 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 2: he's physically he's not I mean, he's bigger, he's I 419 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 2: just don't think he's gonna age as well behind the plate, 420 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 2: but he can match, and he hits right handed, and 421 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 2: I think if you platoon him basically with Ben Rice 422 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 2: behind the plate, you've got basically a thirty five to 423 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 2: forty five home run catching duo that can hit, you know, 424 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: right He's or lefties equally well, and he got Bellinger 425 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 2: at first but base where he's a plus defender. You 426 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 2: bring in Tucker who at Yankee Stadium, I mean, who knows. 427 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 2: I mean, if you hit him in front of Aaron Judge, 428 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 2: he's gonna be the same type of thing that it 429 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 2: was with Otani where he walks so or no with 430 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: Soto where he walks. I got stuck in the alternate 431 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: universe for a minute there, Frankie. I gotta, I gotta 432 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 2: worp myself back into this this reality. Uh when when 433 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 2: Soda was hitting in front of Judge, he got more pitches. 434 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 2: He still drew a lot of walks and got on 435 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 2: base for Judge a lot, which allowed Judge to drive 436 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: in a ton of runs. But he also got a 437 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 2: lot of pitches day hit and he you know, got 438 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 2: a lot of big hits with Judge behind him. I 439 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 2: think if you can get a and I might even 440 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 2: do it like this. I might, even if if won't 441 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 2: be comes back healthy, I might try and hit him. 442 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: Shut shut up, don't don't, Frankie. I might. I might 443 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: hit him lead off and say, we don't even want 444 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 2: you to hit ten home runs this year. Become a 445 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 2: slap hitter. Work on that, you know, and let be 446 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: let him become the player he's supposed to be. And 447 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 2: he might struggle for a bit, but he's gonna get 448 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 2: pitches to hit, hitting in front of Tucker and Judge. 449 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 2: This is an idiotic take, but it might just work. Right, 450 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 2: It might just work because you need a leadoff hitter. 451 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 2: Or I mean you could go Dominga's leadoff and then 452 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 2: he get more pitches to hit as well, and then 453 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 2: as a switch hitter, I mean as a righty you 454 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 2: know you maybe you put somebody else in there a 455 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 2: leadoff spot. But I think that there's still problems to solve. 456 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 2: But you get Tucker, you get Bellinger, and then you 457 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 2: figure it out. 458 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 3: Like you know what, I like that idea about Tucker. 459 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 3: That vaulty idea is so stupid. It might work. That 460 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 3: might look he's gonna come back anyway, you might as 461 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 3: well see what he can do there. But this is 462 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 3: definitely his last chance. 463 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 2: His best time in the major leagues was as a 464 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 2: leadoff hitter the first part of twenty twenty three, yes, 465 00:21:58,680 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: twenty four. 466 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 3: Excuse me, Okay, that's whichever one it was. And then 467 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 3: maya if you can get a good week. We talked 468 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,479 Speaker 3: about this a couple of weeks ago. If you can 469 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 3: get a good deal for him, it would be a 470 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,919 Speaker 3: ridiculous price, and there's like almost no chance it happens. 471 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,959 Speaker 3: But if you can get a good deal for Skiens, 472 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 3: you gotta go out there and do it. But I 473 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 3: just don't see or you know what school is Schooble 474 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 3: free agent this year or is he. 475 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 2: No, he's they're talking about trading him. Well, they that's 476 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 2: the wrong word to say. The internet is speculating that 477 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 2: he might be traded because he's gonna be in the 478 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 2: last year of his contract and the Tigers probably won't 479 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 2: bring won't be able to sign him for the kind 480 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: of deal. My biggest nightmare is that Schooble or Skiens 481 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 2: goes to Boston and pairs with Garrett Crochet. That would 482 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 2: be problem. That would be a problem. 483 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 3: And Boston already has so many good young guys, and 484 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,359 Speaker 3: they got Roman Anthony, who's going to be an absolute 485 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 3: star man. 486 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 2: I mean he he is kind of what I thought 487 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 2: Domingez was gonna be. 488 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 3: He's who I thought Bulby would be. Like, he's just 489 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 3: I mean yeah, to make sense of it, Yeah, he's amazing. 490 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 3: They have so many good, young, talented players are in Boston. 491 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 3: Then to add those one of those two pitchers there 492 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 3: would be just an absolute nightmare. But let's just hope 493 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 3: that they stay at their respective teams for now. 494 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Frankie, we're gonna let everybody go watch the 495 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 2: rest of the game. Frankie, thanks for doing this. Let's 496 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 2: do it again tomorrow night. 497 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 3: What do you say sounds great? I'm here man. We 498 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 3: might be here tomorrow. 499 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe we'll Maybe we'll go before the games. That 500 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 2: way we can watch the game on time.
