Now 308 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 2: all the underlying numbers are pretty much on par. Too, 309 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: like he just looks like a solid back end of 310 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: the rotation.

Future and he seems 322 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 2: like he's kind of built to be that innings. Eater 323 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 2: but he had a four to nine In TRIPLE a last, 324 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 2: year got up to the big leagues and got shelled 325 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 2: in his one, start and then even in the first 326 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: couple starts this year In TRIPLE i. Struggled SO i 327 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: was kind of probably too quick to move off of 328 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 2: him and did not expect him, to you, know have 329 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: this resurgence this year and really settle in at the highest. 330 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 1: LEVEL i can't believe how quickly he adjusted with how 331 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: young he, Is like you said to, yourself twenty three years, 332 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: old twenty three and he's doing what he's. Doing and 333 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: WHAT i like About Simon Wood, richardson and you, know 334 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: it's it's a little similar To Zebbi matthews in that. 335 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: Way it's not quite to that level of, command but 336 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: just having confidence in your stuff when you don't throw 337 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: ninety seven at that, age when you know that you're 338 00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: in the low. 339 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 3: Nineties especially when he got right last year. 340 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: Exactly like that's a testament to his mental more than 341 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: anything that he's a bulldog on the. Mount so those 342 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: type of Guys i'm always going to gravitate. Towards do 343 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: you have another, GUY i have an OFFENSIVE i have 344 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: one more hitter that you know is more about the defensive. 345 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: Side and by the, Way Woods richardson was part of 346 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: That Jose barrios. Trade so now it's starting to look 347 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: better after it was looking a little shaky With Austin 348 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: martin not. 349 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: Really being the guy THAT i think people had hoped 350 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 2: when he got. Drafted but, yeah this is more about the. 351 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 2: Glove but STILL i wasn't a guy that was on 352 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 2: my radar at. All Is Jacob? Young is he going 353 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: to be an above average like star or is it 354 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 2: gonna be an above average? 355 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 3: Regular maybe, NOT i don't. 356 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 2: Know but he's an elite center fielder who you, know 357 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 2: if he provides AN idwrc plus for the entirety of his, 358 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: career he's a three to win PLAYER i think most. 359 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 2: Seasons SO i didn't even really see him as being 360 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: a regular at, all let alone being a guy that 361 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 2: can really hold it down in center, field Like Dylan 362 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 2: cruz is a phenomenal center fielder and they've got him 363 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 2: in right right, now Because Jacob young is so elite 364 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 2: up the, middle and the fact the bat's been fine, 365 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: enough like close enough to league, average and, he's you, 366 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 2: know a menace on the base. PATHS i just didn't 367 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 2: really see this guy's a, piece and, clearly like even 368 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 2: if they do end up relegating him to more of 369 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 2: this like part time, role he's just clearly a big 370 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 2: league piece for. Them and, again just totally wasn't on 371 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 2: my radar going into this. Year and he's gonna finish 372 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 2: with a three win season If i'm not. 373 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: Mistaken, okay SO i Wrote Jacob young down. Too i'll 374 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: find somebody else off the top of my. Head BUT 375 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: i just want to add on to what you were 376 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: saying About Jacob. Young the guy is as good of 377 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: a center fielder as we have when it comes to, 378 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: range and that helps when you're in the ninety eighth 379 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: percent of the sprint, speed the dude just. Flies he's 380 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: in the one hundredth. Percentile he is the major league 381 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: leader in the outfield and ou it's above average with 382 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, right which is just. Absurd and the fact 383 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: is that he has thirty one stolen bases as. Well 384 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: so that speed in the outfield then translates to the 385 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 1: bass paths and he doesn't strike out a. Lot he 386 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: doesn't really with. Either so he makes a lot of 387 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: contact and a lot of these ground, balls these infield, 388 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,959 Speaker 1: grounders like he's getting to first and then turning that 389 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,919 Speaker 1: into a. Double so you look at you, know his 390 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: quality of, contact and you're, like, well he doesn't really 391 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: hit the ball all that. Hard, LIKE i get it, 392 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: Right he's probably gonna be a nine, Hitter but IF 393 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,200 Speaker 1: i told you your nine hitter is going to steal 394 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: thirty to forty bags, year play, elite, elite elite defense 395 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 1: in center, field and just LIKE i feel like every 396 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 1: team wants a guy Like Jacob young just to do 397 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: it all kind Of swiss army, knife fun player to, 398 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: watch gritty like he comes up with the nine hole 399 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: and you're not thinking, yourself, well this is an auto. 400 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: Out you say to, yourself What's Jacob young going to do? 401 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: Today AND i Think Jacob young is a great. Answer 402 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: my last one that is kind of in that same 403 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: breath of a GUY i personally just didn't see. Coming 404 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: he hasn't had this amazing year of. Anything David hamilton 405 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: of The Red. 406 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 3: SOX i was thinking about him. Too he's been. 407 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: Good now the ops has come down a little, bit, 408 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: Right he's at a six ninety SEVEN ops this, year 409 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: but eight home runs thirty three stolen bases doesn't strike 410 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: out that much. Either he's also got seventeen doubles in 411 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: ninety eight. Games it's just way more impact with the 412 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: bat THAN i. Thought, LIKE i thought there was an 413 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: opportunity where he was just never gonna make it. Offensively, 414 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: yeah but he is this year at the young age 415 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: of how old is he and he's still kind of twenty. 416 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: Six but the speed is what's important for. Me it's 417 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: The Red sox have so many. Bats jack AND i 418 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: talked about this on episode a few days, ago that 419 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: there's such a log, jam and especially in a season 420 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: Where Von grissom isn't going to, Help Trevor story isn't 421 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 1: going to, help they had to find some sort of 422 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: answer at second, base And David hamilton has kind of 423 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: been that. Answer he's JUST i just didn't see this 424 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: coming at. 425 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 3: All, Yeah and that's the. 426 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: Thing it's all, relative, Right so, like even though he 427 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 2: might not be an everyday, player this guy's clearly carved 428 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: out a big league. Role AND i, remember you know 429 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 2: when when The Red sox Preferred hamilton Over Thad WORL 430 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 2: i believe it Was hamilton in The role five. Draft 431 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 2: they Added hamilton to the forty men and Lost ward 432 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 2: as the number one pick in the real five. EIVE 433 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 2: i was pretty critical of. THAT i thought it was 434 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 2: a surprisingly bad move at the, time and it looks 435 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 2: like at this point it's aged really well for, them 436 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 2: AND i know that was a high and blue, move 437 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 2: but that actually seemed to be the right. DECISION i 438 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: THINK i was off on that, one because at the very, 439 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 2: least you've got a guy that can pick it very 440 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 2: well at second, base can fill in at short and absolute. 441 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 2: Pinch he stretched a little thin, there but just the 442 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 2: fact that he can plug in there and not be 443 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 2: a disaster is helpful and just as a great utility 444 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 2: type of bench. Piece that, again you value those guys 445 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: when you can find, them and usually they end up 446 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 2: getting thrown into the fire because players get hurt in 447 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 2: this long season that we. Have AND i love that 448 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 2: you mentioned the impact that he had flashed it in 449 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 2: the minor, leagues wasn't quite doing it as much in 450 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 2: the upper levels or at least at the big league 451 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 2: level when we. 452 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 3: Saw him early and now starting to do. 453 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 2: That so he's another guy that even if he's a 454 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 2: NINETY wrc plus elite based, dealer can play a great second, 455 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 2: base can move around the infield a little, Bit AND 456 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: i think as a role for The Red sox for 457 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 2: the foreseeable future as that kind of bench and part 458 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,919 Speaker 2: time guy and definitely definitely a speed up base runner 459 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,239 Speaker 2: that could always fill in in that regard as. 460 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: Well AND i also want to answer a question That 461 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: i've gotten damned a couple. Times i've also seen it 462 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: in our comment, sections Like Lawrence butler is technically not a, 463 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: rookie but For oakland he has been just. Fantastic technically doesn't, 464 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: qualified he had just too many at bats last. Year 465 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: but if you remember or who Is Lawrence butler to, 466 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: be do you? 467 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 2: Rever, well he's the swaggy guy from The Futures.

Vp he 470 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 2: saw the pit. 471 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,239 Speaker 3: Vipers he just looked like a. 472 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: BALLPLAYER i, mean he just had everything that confidenced the 473 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: swag the GUY i never seen him, before never seen 474 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: him take a swing yet never seen him run the, 475 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: bases never see him play.

AUGUST 520 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: i Love Lawrence. Butler he's like one of my favorite 521 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: young players at. Baseball so let's unless you have anybody, 522 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: else we can move on to question that was? 523 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 3: It, yeah it's. 524 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: One of these ones where they asked a question like 525 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: name a picture on a hitter and we're, like how about? Seven, 526 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: yeah here's about seven of, them all? Right question number, 527 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: two and this is mostly going to be for, you 528 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: what are the most overrated and underrated analytical tools for 529 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: evaluating players slash? Prospects asked By Jim, Underscore henny On 530 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: twitter or x. Whatever i'm gonna throw that over to you. 531 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: First obviously you're the one in weeds evaluating prospects all the. 532 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 1: Time LIKE i think there's a difference, too because you're 533 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: evaluating guys for the long. Term i'm evaluating guys in 534 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: the sense of will they perform, today WHICH i think 535 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: is much different than a long term track. Record so for, 536 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: me there aren't really any overrated or underrated stats when 537 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,719 Speaker 1: it comes to making predictions for that. Day that's WHY 538 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: i don't think the question was geared for. ME i 539 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: think it was more geared for. You so floor is? 540 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 2: Yours, yeah you. Know it's it's funny BECAUSE i think 541 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 2: there's it's really hard to find an underrated stat, nowadays 542 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: when you know everything is so like readily, available and 543 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 2: you Have baseball savant the way that it, is and 544 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: you have all these different tools and resources and so 545 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: many interesting people On twitter that are presenting all these 546 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 2: different statistics and models and all these. 547 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 3: Things but so it is gonna be. 548 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 2: Nitpicky BUT i think one of the stats THAT i 549 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 2: do see kind of get blanketed too much in terms 550 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 2: of like maybe not having the nuance and adding other 551 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 2: aspects to it to to really complete the picture would 552 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 2: probably be barrel. Rate and again barrel rate's going to 553 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 2: of course overlap with the best a lot of the 554 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 2: best performers in. Baseball and just to kind of explain 555 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 2: how a ball is considered a, barrel it's a batted 556 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 2: ball that requires an exit velocity of at least ninety 557 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 2: eight miles per hour and is struck between twenty six 558 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 2: and thirty. Degrees and then for every mile per hour above, 559 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 2: THAT i believe you can like go one more degree 560 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 2: in either. Direction so, obviously like balls that are hit 561 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 2: at that trajectory at that speed have a really really 562 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 2: high batting average thing it's like over at least five 563 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 2: hundred and the slugging percentage of fifteen. Hundred the reason 564 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 2: Why I'M i think it's a little bit of a 565 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 2: LIKE i don't think it goes beneath the surface enough 566 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: is THAT i do think it lacks the nuance and 567 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 2: kind of ignores a large pool of batted balls that 568 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,719 Speaker 2: are quite. Valuable AND i USE i remember when we 569 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: were talking about, THIS i think early in the, SEASON 570 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 2: i was talking about numbers from last, year AND i 571 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 2: feel like guys Like, Adlei Yani diez and and Like 572 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 2: Jay ram are all examples of like a lot of 573 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 2: their batted balls don't get qualified as, barrels but are 574 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 2: high batting average or expected batting average batted. Balls like for, 575 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: Example adley last year hit seven forty five on batted 576 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 2: balls ninety seven miles per hour between thirteen twenty three, 577 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 2: Degrees so those thirty five hits wouldn't count towards his barrel. 578 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 2: Rate but you know that's a guy that's typically below 579 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 2: average in the barrel rate, Department Matt chapman only had 580 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 2: four hits between that those angles last, year but he 581 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: was second in baseball in barrel rate with a ninety 582 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 2: EIGHT wrc. Plus so like, again it's not really to 583 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: say like barrel right's a bad. Stat it's a great 584 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 2: stat because how often are you hitting the ball at 585 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 2: the desired angle at a high exit velocity WHERE i 586 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 2: see maybe that it can be a little bit blanketed too, 587 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,360 Speaker 2: MUCH i, think or maybe oversimplified As, okay this guy 588 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 2: had a high barrel, rate so he's due, to you, 589 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 2: know have a better stretch ahead because he's not performing right, 590 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: now but his barrel rate's really, high so he's going 591 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 2: to be really. Good there's a lot of swing and 592 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,199 Speaker 2: miss guys that when they connect their, barrels but they 593 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 2: don't have the nuance in, between and that's why you 594 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 2: have guys Like Nolan, Gorman Michael, Tolia Jose siri all 595 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 2: in the top fifteen this year in barrel. Rate so you, 596 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 2: know Like i'd rather have somebody that's a little bit 597 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 2: lower in barrel rate than those guys and still spraying 598 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 2: hard ground balls or low line drives or you, know 599 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 2: sometimes a b, swing AND i always talk about, that 600 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 2: like you shoot a ball the other, way you, know 601 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 2: ninety four miles an, hour that's a good, Swing like 602 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 2: that's a that's a good, piece and it's not going 603 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 2: to be a. Barrel SO i just think for the 604 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 2: more well rounded, hitters AND i think for you, know 605 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 2: the hitters that have kind of been ignored a little 606 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 2: bit and now are starting to become more popular, AGAIN 607 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 2: i think it does kind of overlook those types of. 608 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 3: Guys AND i, think you, Know Jay ram is a 609 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 3: perfect example of. 610 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: That to be, HONEST i love. It is there any 611 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: other stats that maybe came to your? Mind or is 612 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 1: it more just barrel? 613 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 2: RATE i see people talking about bat, speed and of 614 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,479 Speaker 2: course bat speed is going to correlate with with with 615 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 2: a lot of good, things but average bat speed is 616 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 2: another one where there's just so much more nuance to. 617 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 2: It And i'm pretty Sure Jay ram is low on 618 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 2: that regard To Jackson merrill is super, LOW i think 619 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 2: relatives to what people would, expect and it's longer than 620 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 2: what people would. Expect SO i think those like the 621 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 2: average of these swings is kind of off because, again 622 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 2: it's it doesn't really take into, account like be swings 623 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: and you know what guys are doing even when they're 624 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 2: not getting their best wing, off Like John Carlo stanton, 625 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 2: is you, know the highest average swing glossy but is 626 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 2: one swing for one spot and you see the result 627 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 2: of having one swing for one spot going to polarize 628 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 2: balls into certain, locations but also a lot of swing 629 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 2: and miss and some frustrations and inconsistencies. There SO i 630 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 2: think that speed is a great, start AND i think 631 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 2: it's a really cool thing to add TO, savant BUT 632 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 2: i think there's a lot more context that needs to be, 633 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 2: provided AND i think a lot more that needs to 634 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 2: kind of be added in terms of how we analyze 635 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 2: those things to really use it as a clear cut 636 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 2: tool to kind of predict future. 637 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 3: Success but with, prospects a lot of the. 638 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 2: Stuff THAT i look at ends up being kind of, 639 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 2: proprietary so it's hard to like talk about those. Things 640 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: AND i, know like there's not just a lot of 641 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,719 Speaker 2: access to some minor league stuff in. General but WHAT 642 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 2: i would say when it comes to the minor, leagues 643 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: AND i think one of the things that gets the 644 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 2: most overlooked is the. Environment AND i KNOW wrc plus 645 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 2: gives you, that but the minor leagues is a little 646 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 2: bit less like on. TRACK i think there's times WHERE 647 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 2: wrcqus doesn't totally nail the whole. Story there's a lot 648 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 2: of environments in the minor leagues that are just totally. 649 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 2: Different AND i think certain leagues certain, situations like if 650 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 2: you're digging into a player and you want to have 651 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 2: like a you, know a strong take on, them i'd 652 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 2: whether it's a pitcher or a, hitter look at those 653 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: league averages and also kind of look at the environments 654 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 2: that they're, in BECAUSE i think that ends up getting 655 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 2: overlooked a little bit too. 656 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: Often, YEAH i love. It one stat THAT i just 657 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: see people asking me, about like in my ride, ups 658 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: why never include it whip going much simpler walks and 659 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: hits per innings. PITCHED i don't love whip because half 660 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: the equation or not half of, it but walks and. 661 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: Hits what type of hits are you? Allowing like is 662 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,560 Speaker 1: there a lot of? Singles is it a lot of home? 663 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: Runs is it a lot of? Doubles those are very very. 664 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: Different that's, why like with, fielding independent, pitching and some 665 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: of these other, stats when it doesn't include quality of, 666 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: contact Like Andre, polante for, example highest ground ball rate in, 667 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: Baseball like that's not being factored, in, right or guys 668 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: allowing softter, contact but a lot of it is in the. 669 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: Air maybe to. Regress one guy is allowing a lot 670 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 1: of tweener, singles one guy's allowing a lot of four 671 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty foot home. Runs, whip it's calculated the. 672 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: Same so that's why Whip, LIKE i don't look at 673 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: whip at, All Like i'll even look AT, era which 674 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: is even simpler than whip batting. Average i've thrown whip 675 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: completely out the. 676 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 2: Window, well building off of, THAT i think you know 677 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 2: if you're going to go on those kind of like 678 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 2: surface level, Stats katie MINUS bb percentage is one of 679 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 2: the more consistent predictors of success among starting, Pitchers AND i, 680 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 2: think like that's kind of the funny cyclical nature of 681 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 2: this whole, thing, too IS i think sometimes those stats 682 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 2: end up getting overlooked in terms of LIKE i agree 683 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 2: with you on, whip but then you have km out AS, 684 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 2: bb which of course just cound be your strikeout rate 685 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: minus you walk. Rate Like there's been a lot of 686 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 2: like research done that it is almost one of the more. 687 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 2: Consistent it is one of the more consistent predictors of 688 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 2: success and correlations with. Success and if you look at 689 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 2: the top guys in that department this year on the, 690 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 2: mound It's Chris, Sale It's Jack, flaherty It's Tariks, Google 691 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 2: It's Sonny, Gray, Logan Gilbert Dylan. 692 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 3: Ceese you Say, kakuci. 693 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 2: Which is which is? Crazy but that was more of 694 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: the recent Stretch Showedy, Monoga Cole reagan's And Zach. Wheeler 695 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 2: so like that's one that it's super, Simple but sometimes 696 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 2: it is just more simple and you, know to the 697 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 2: point of like quality of contact all those. Things if 698 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 2: you're not walking guys and you're striking out a lot of, 699 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 2: them odds are your whip will end up normalizing and being. 700 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 2: Lower and and that's Why i'd rather look at. 701 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: That, yeah what do you? Think and just we're keep 702 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: building off this. Question but like the most overrated simple 703 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: stat LIKE i think the most overrated simple status? Whip 704 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: do you, have like one that is just along the 705 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: regular slash line across regular? Things is there just something 706 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: that like you never look at for, ANYTHING i. 707 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 2: Mean with, PROSPECTS i almost never look at batting average 708 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 2: to be, honest, like Because i'm just looking at contact, 709 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 2: Rates i'm looking at end, zone out of, Zone i'm 710 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 2: looking at all those. Things so like When jack will 711 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 2: do When jack will do the trivia of like who's 712 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 2: leading this league and batting, AVERAGE i have no freaking 713 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 2: Clue BECAUSE i can tell you THEIR zwn contact. RATE 714 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 2: i could probably tell you what their chase rate. IS 715 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 2: i have no. Idea so with, PROSPECTS i really, YEAH 716 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 2: i don't look at it as much because it goes both. 717 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 2: WAYS a lot of these these environments are are more 718 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 2: hit or, friendly but also these, guys a lot of 719 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 2: them suck defense in the minor, leagues, right you have 720 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 2: teams that are still trying to force their guys to 721 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 2: stick it short or third or set whatever it. Is 722 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 2: you got teams that are trying to get their guys 723 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 2: to stick in the, outfield and so balls are just 724 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 2: falling way more than they. 725 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 3: Should that actually chocks. 726 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 2: Me on another, ONE i think people over USE babbitb as, 727 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 2: well where it's, like, oh HIS babbitb is, high so 728 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:49,080 Speaker 2: he's due to. 729 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 3: Regress there's gonna. 730 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 2: Be a correlation. There like there are guys that typically 731 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 2: if they do have a high. Babbite, yes they could 732 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 2: be due for. Regression but there's also guys that if 733 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 2: you're hitting the ball hard, consistently you know on the, 734 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 2: line you're gonna have a high, babbitt, Right aaron judges 735 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 2: a three seventy. Babbitt but is he due to? Regress, No, 736 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: so like that's one too Where i'll see people are just, like, 737 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 2: oh this guy's babbitb is, high he's due to, regress 738 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 2: dig a little. Deeper and sometimes that might be, true 739 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 2: but other times it might, not you, Know AND i 740 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 2: think there's a lot of times where it's not, true 741 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 2: AND i think it can more often work the other, 742 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 2: way where it's a guy is a low babbit and 743 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 2: you can, say, okay well we better days are. Ahead 744 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 2: but also like it might just be the way that 745 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 2: that hitter is right more home. Runs if you're more 746 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,080 Speaker 2: of a three true outcome, guy Your babbitb's always going 747 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 2: to be. Lower so you got to look at the 748 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,560 Speaker 2: archetype of the player and who they are and then 749 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 2: go from. There BUT i just don't think babbit is 750 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 2: enough context to, say, oh he's due for. 751 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 3: Regression you, know one way or. 752 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 1: Another the baseball fan and me hopes all these stat 753 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: websites cease to, exist and it's just an eye tests and. 754 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: Vibes that guy looks fast to. Me i'm giving him 755 00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 1: an eighty eighth percent tiles spread speed because he looks 756 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: fast to me today in my. Feelings all, right let's 757 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,720 Speaker 1: get to question number, three and this is a. Banger 758 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: if THE mlb adopted awards similar to THE, nba who 759 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: would win awards like most Improved, player Sixth man of The, 760 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: year or tenth man FOR.

Imagination last year he put 859 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: up an eight SEVENTEEN. Ops he hit thirty home, runs 860 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: but he has less at. Back right we're In, september 861 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: he already has thirty three home. Runs he doubled his 862 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: stolen base output from four to. Eight this guy slashing 863 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: two ninety, five three seventy, one five seventy eight for 864 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: a nine to forty NINE. Ops if we're talking ABOUT 865 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 1: wrc plus, rankings he's right there With Vladimir Garrow. Junior 866 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 1: this guy is sixth In Major League baseball IN wrc. 867 00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 1: Plus he went from a GOOD, dh GOOD dh batto 868 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,240 Speaker 1: can hit some bombs to one of the best haders 869 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: in the entire league this. Year AND i also think 870 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 1: about there's context for every. Hitter, right you can look 871 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: at some sort of stats and then, it's, well what 872 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: was his role In? Oakland think about. It if you're 873 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,919 Speaker 1: facing The Oakland a's why would you pitch to that? Guy, 874 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:43,719 Speaker 1: Right he's gonna get pitched around every single? Second and 875 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 1: he's still got thirty three. Bombs he's still hitting two ninety. Five, 876 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: Right this isn't a two forty hitter with thirty three. 877 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 1: Bombs this guy's almost hitting three hundred with a nine 878 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:57,239 Speaker 1: to FIFTY. Ops SO i understand it's not the this 879 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,879 Speaker 1: guy was horrible and now he's. Good, no this guy 880 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 1: was pretty good and now he's elite among hitters In 881 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: Major League. Baseball and the only thing that also gave 882 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 1: it a little bit of credence in twenty twenty, two 883 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: the guy had thirty two at bats in a three 884 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 1: seventy EIGHT. Ops so this is also relatively. New so for, 885 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 1: me it Was Brent, Rooker But i'm curious to who 886 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,399 Speaker 1: you have that is a good. 887 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,520 Speaker 2: One and it's kind of similar in the regard, that, 888 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 2: like this was a player that was good last, Year 889 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,720 Speaker 2: But i'm Just i've just been floored at how great 890 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 2: he has been this. YEAR i had to go With 891 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 2: Jaron duran and maybe there's a little bit of bias 892 00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 2: from the PIECE i put out on his swing adjustments 893 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 2: and everything. Too but it's not just, that, Right it's 894 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 2: not just the fact that last year it was a 895 00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 2: two and a half win, season a one TWENTY wrc, 896 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 2: plus which is, great eight home runs and twenty four 897 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 2: bags and one hundred and two. Games but this, year in 898 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty six. Games he is a six 899 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,760 Speaker 2: point eight F r twenty one, homers which is absurd 900 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,960 Speaker 2: that how much more power he stapped into and he's 901 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,399 Speaker 2: stolen thirty two bags, Already but that's just the tip 902 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 2: of the, iceberg right if it was just the offensive 903 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 2: side one hundred, Percent Idleen. Rooker what ended up swaying 904 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 2: me Towards duran was the, defense because he was always fine, 905 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,759 Speaker 2: SOLID i mean last year kind of graded out as 906 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 2: like fringy. Defensively this, YEAR i, mean he's been an 907 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,359 Speaker 2: elite center, fielder and then when they put him in other, 908 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 2: spots he's been great there. Too this is a dude 909 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 2: that can combined in twelve hundred innings now in the, 910 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:21,760 Speaker 2: outfield eight outs above, average twenty two defensive run. Saved 911 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,360 Speaker 2: so this dude has been elite in the. Outfield he 912 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 2: has been elite at the plate with a one FORTY 913 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 2: wrc plus and he's gonna probably steal close to forty. 914 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 2: Bags he's been one of the best players In Major 915 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,360 Speaker 2: League baseball this. Year SO i had to go With 916 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,000 Speaker 2: duran just because of the multifaceted leap that he's made this, 917 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,440 Speaker 2: year and like, again to put it in, Perspective. 918 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,319 Speaker 3: Gunnar Gunnar hendersons played one hundred thirty seven. 919 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 2: Games he has a one to fifty TWO wrc plus 920 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,439 Speaker 2: and a six point EIGHT f. Four Jared durant played 921 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty six. Games he's a one FORTY 922 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 2: wrc plus and a six point EIGHT f. Four that is. 923 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 2: NUTS i know there's more of the game than, that 924 00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 2: BUT i think it puts in perspective just how Incredible 925 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 2: duran has been this. 926 00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,760 Speaker 1: Year so for all those watching on, YouTube you probably 927 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,799 Speaker 1: saw me laughing when arm was, talking and it had 928 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 1: nothing to do with What arm's.

Miss now there's still 976 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 1: a lot of swing and. Miss but when you cut 977 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: it down to twenty four point eight percent this, year 978 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:29,439 Speaker 1: a five percent, Drop i'm gonna notice he's walking more 979 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 1: than he ever, has three thirty three on. Base he's 980 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,520 Speaker 1: still hitting for power one SEVENTEEN wrc plus seventeen percent 981 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,120 Speaker 1: better than the league average hitter three point four f 982 00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 1: Wour because he's played all over the. DIAMOND i got 983 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,120 Speaker 1: to say arm, like this was a guy WHO i 984 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 1: was routinely killing on this. SHOW i did not like 985 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,920 Speaker 1: how he approached an at. BAT i didn't believe in 986 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,799 Speaker 1: him truly as a. DEFENDER i thought he took bad. 987 00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 1: Routes it didn't look like he was engaged in the. 988 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 1: Game maybe a change of scenery was just what is. 989 00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,280 Speaker 1: Needed because ever since he's come over to The, a's 990 00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 1: he's one of my favorite. Players So i'm gonna eat that, 991 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 1: one And i've become A Jazz chisholm. Fan i'll be. 992 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 2: HONEST i had a feeling you would just because at 993 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 2: THAT i figured he'd have a different level buy. 994 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:10,879 Speaker 3: In AND i think you've seen it, Right, like. 995 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,399 Speaker 2: Oh, yeah the way he just jumped over to third 996 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,040 Speaker 2: base and has made some good plays there, already and 997 00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 2: he's just more locked, In and we figured that would 998 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,880 Speaker 2: be the, case, right playing more meaningful baseball and the 999 00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 2: pressure and expectations that come With New. York he doesn't 1000 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 2: feel pressure, though like you could tell, that BUT i 1001 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 2: think he notices the expectations AND i think having more 1002 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,400 Speaker 2: expectations is actually good for a player Like Jazz. Chisholms 1003 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 2: SO i think we're seeing the results. THERE i went even, 1004 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 2: deeper like in terms of like really picking up like 1005 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:38,280 Speaker 2: a bench, guy. 1006 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: One quick thing just before you just to highlight what 1007 00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,680 Speaker 1: you're talking about about the buy, in and like coming 1008 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 1: over to The. Yankees with The marlins this, year in 1009 00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and one, games he slashed two forty nine 1010 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,880 Speaker 1: three twenty three four oh. Seven with The yankees so 1011 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 1: far in twenty four, games he's slashing three thirty, three 1012 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:59,399 Speaker 1: three seventy, four six sixty seven for a ten forty OH. 1013 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,280 Speaker 1: Ps and he has nine home runs in those twenty 1014 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,879 Speaker 1: four games versus thirteen home runs in one hundred and one. 1015 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,759 Speaker 1: Games so and he already has ten steals with us. 1016 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 1: Too and this guy is a ten to ten guy 1017 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,520 Speaker 1: in twenty four games with a ten to FORTY ops 1018 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,839 Speaker 1: playing third. Base he's never played, Before and. 1019 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 2: They were worried about how his personality was gonna fit 1020 00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,360 Speaker 2: In New. York, like, LOOK i think his personality is, 1021 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 2: big BUT i think they've had much more difficult personalities 1022 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,840 Speaker 2: in that clubhouse in recent. Years, YES i got to 1023 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,960 Speaker 2: go with my favorite like utility guy out, there and 1024 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 2: it's In Mondo, Sosa like that is My he to 1025 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 2: me is like the epitome of baseball six, man where you, 1026 00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,839 Speaker 2: know maybe not playing as much as a jazz jazz 1027 00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:43,960 Speaker 2: is more of that true super. Utility In mundo's probably 1028 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 2: more of just that. Utility BUT i had to just highlight. 1029 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,439 Speaker 2: Him and this was kind of like in the eyes 1030 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 2: of the beholder the, question since it's open ended and 1031 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 2: like it's really hard to relate those things across. Sports 1032 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,360 Speaker 2: SO i wanted to go with like one of the 1033 00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 2: few true bench players that actually plays enough to make an, 1034 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,279 Speaker 2: impact but also not enough to say that he's more 1035 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 2: than a utility. Player it's only been eighty games this 1036 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 2: year for The, phillies but in those eighty, games seven home, 1037 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,280 Speaker 2: runs Seven stone, bases a one to TEN wrc plus 1038 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,719 Speaker 2: and a two point one f, Woar like he can 1039 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 2: really go get, it you, know defensively in terms of 1040 00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,439 Speaker 2: he plays a great, shortstop plays a good third, base 1041 00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,960 Speaker 2: plays a good second, base like he's a really good 1042 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 2: defender at three different infield.

Question in light of O'Neil cruz 1139 00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,040 Speaker 1: moving to center, field who are some players you are 1140 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:30,240 Speaker 1: most interested in slash could benefit the most from a position. 1141 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,760 Speaker 1: Change this was asked By joey THH E a KEY 1142 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:39,480 Speaker 1: K E r two four ON.

Letters joey appreciate the. 1144 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 1: QUESTION i have one answer AND i can START. Cj 1145 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:53,520 Speaker 1: abrams is minus fifteen in terms of out it's above. 1146 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:57,560 Speaker 1: Average Second worsd shortstop is about minus. Eight so in 1147 00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,799 Speaker 1: terms of the range for a guy who's fe, asked 1148 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:05,480 Speaker 1: he's not getting to. Balls and there was also another 1149 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:10,000 Speaker 1: shortstop In washington a little while ago who never changed, 1150 00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:12,720 Speaker 1: positions WHO i ACTUALLY i think answered maybe this question 1151 00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:14,799 Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty, one like the first time we 1152 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,840 Speaker 1: ever had a, mailbag BECAUSE i think that's WHERE i 1153 00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,880 Speaker 1: Remember Trey. Turner, Now Trey turner never kind of moved 1154 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:22,719 Speaker 1: off short, right he was second, baseman moved over to 1155 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,040 Speaker 1: short and kind of stuck. THERE i always didn't really 1156 00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:29,160 Speaker 1: think he. Was but, whatever he's a. SHORTSTOP i THINK. 1157 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:33,760 Speaker 1: Cj abrams could potentially move off shortstop at some. POINT 1158 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,879 Speaker 1: i just the defense really hasn't been there for. Him 1159 00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:39,680 Speaker 1: he'd been the bat in the, lineup no doubt about 1160 00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:41,359 Speaker 1: it at this. POINT i, mean the guy's been a 1161 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 1: star this season For, washington but in terms of playing, 1162 00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,000 Speaker 1: shortstop and, Unfortunately i'm presenting you on him with a 1163 00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:51,680 Speaker 1: problem not a, Solution LIKE i don't, think, well does 1164 00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 1: he move to? 1165 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,600 Speaker 4: CENTER i don't. KNOW i don't really want to move 1166 00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 4: him to. Second he can't really move to center because 1167 00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:58,160 Speaker 4: they got young and. 1168 00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 2: Cross So i'm with, you like it is where maybe 1169 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:03,840 Speaker 2: he placed, third but the arm is like, eh but 1170 00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,880 Speaker 2: maybe that's something that he can get more comfortable with. 1171 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,759 Speaker 3: There but then they got the house coming. 1172 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,000 Speaker 1: Up you think Oldamar vargas is just going to give 1173 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:10,880 Speaker 1: up his position like. 1174 00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:12,719 Speaker 3: That, No, no he's gonna help right. 1175 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 2: Away, yeah, like it's that is the challenge, is, like, 1176 00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,359 Speaker 2: yes he's a candidate to move. Off AND i, agree 1177 00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,279 Speaker 2: that's the number one GUY i. Have AND i think 1178 00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,360 Speaker 2: it's starting to affect him offensively. Too he's really swamped 1179 00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,520 Speaker 2: in the second. Half but, yeah where do you put? 1180 00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,960 Speaker 2: Him you, know Because Goulise garcie has actually looks like 1181 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,040 Speaker 2: a Solid he's not even the best defensive second, base 1182 00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:32,480 Speaker 2: but he looks like a solid bat for. Them it 1183 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 2: looks like a guy that could be holding it down. 1184 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:38,000 Speaker 2: There And Brady house is a great third. Baseman SO 1185 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,279 Speaker 2: i don't, Know, Like i'm very interested to see how 1186 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:43,919 Speaker 2: they approach, it but just, objectively without looking at the roster, 1187 00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:47,360 Speaker 2: situation he would be better off not playing, SHORTSTOP i 1188 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,880 Speaker 2: think moving, forward AND i think it is starting to 1189 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 2: affect him offensively as, well and he has cost him 1190 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,880 Speaker 2: some games as short and you, know it just seems 1191 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,719 Speaker 2: like he's not totally comfortable. There so that was the 1192 00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:01,399 Speaker 2: first NAME i had. 1193 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 1: Too and then also let's say he moves off short, 1194 00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,840 Speaker 1: now who's your? Shortstop was also my Issue Nasim. Nunez, 1195 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,560 Speaker 1: yeah like and AND i was thinking in my head 1196 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:15,360 Speaker 1: an outfield Of Dylan cruz in, Center James wood and, 1197 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:19,040 Speaker 1: right AND. C J abramson left gets me fired. Up 1198 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:20,880 Speaker 1: BUT i feel like that's kind of a pipe. Dream 1199 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:23,359 Speaker 1: first of, all that's Moving wood from left to. Right 1200 00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:25,279 Speaker 1: he's played a lot of left. Field i'm sure he 1201 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:27,600 Speaker 1: can make that transition very very. EASILY i Think i've 1202 00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:28,600 Speaker 1: seen him play some right. 1203 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:29,279 Speaker 3: Field, yeah But. 1204 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 1: I've turned on A nationals. Game i'm pretty sure i. 1205 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:32,279 Speaker 1: Have But i've also seen him plays him. 1206 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 2: Left. 1207 00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,080 Speaker 1: Whatever but to maybe MOVE. C, JAMES i feel like 1208 00:56:35,080 --> 00:56:37,880 Speaker 1: you're just you're not using the speed well putting him 1209 00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 1: in a corner like. 1210 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:41,440 Speaker 2: That but and Then Jacob can it depends that they 1211 00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:43,359 Speaker 2: see him as in every, day but Then Jacob young 1212 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:46,239 Speaker 2: ends up. MOVING i still think Like Jacob young makes 1213 00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,800 Speaker 2: the most. Sense is like this fourth outfielder that plays 1214 00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:53,080 Speaker 2: more than your average fourth, outfielder but if he takes 1215 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:54,839 Speaker 2: a step forward, offensively you got to keep that guy 1216 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:56,319 Speaker 2: in the lineup every single. Day and we just talked 1217 00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,560 Speaker 2: about like how solid he, isn't especially on the defensive. 1218 00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,319 Speaker 2: Side so they've got some interesting DECISIONS i think to. 1219 00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,520 Speaker 2: Make and, YEAH i think you Give abrams this offseason 1220 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 2: to try to make that leap, defensively BUT i just 1221 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 2: think it's going to be too much of a, Leap 1222 00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,239 Speaker 2: so they got to sort that. Out BUT i do 1223 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,040 Speaker 2: think he's costing them pretty pretty dearly. Defensively at short 1224 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,440 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter as much right now because you know 1225 00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:18,920 Speaker 2: they're they're out of, it but you know there's a 1226 00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,760 Speaker 2: team that could sneakly be a surprise contender next year 1227 00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:25,040 Speaker 2: and definitely could be in it in two. Years so, 1228 00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 2: YEAH i think they need to to kind of figure 1229 00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:29,720 Speaker 2: that out and sort that. OUT i was looking At, 1230 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,000 Speaker 2: YEAH i, know he's like it needs to hit for 1231 00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:33,920 Speaker 2: this to be a thing anyways and to stick up 1232 00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:34,240 Speaker 2: in the big. 1233 00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,840 Speaker 3: Leagues But Nolan gorman another guy that, LIKE i want. 1234 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,040 Speaker 2: To see him just swing it more consistently and swing it, 1235 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:43,040 Speaker 2: Better but he's rough man at second, base AND i 1236 00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:44,959 Speaker 2: think that's a guy that ultimately would just be best 1237 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:49,000 Speaker 2: off playing first and slugging and focusing on masching like second. 1238 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,440 Speaker 2: Bass it just looks brutal and stiff, there and that's 1239 00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:54,400 Speaker 2: a guy THAT i just think would be better off playing. 1240 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,920 Speaker 2: First and then a vet that, LIKE i just think 1241 00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,720 Speaker 2: if you're going to sign this guy and wanted to 1242 00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,640 Speaker 2: keep going and be the most Valuable jerkson Profar. 1243 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:06,920 Speaker 3: Man he is horrible in the.

Year but then, 1295 01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 1: also like what if they decide to sign a second, Baseman, 1296 01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,320 Speaker 1: LIKE i don't know what they're going to. DO i 1297 01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,520 Speaker 1: have my opinions on what they should, do which we'll 1298 01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,000 Speaker 1: talk about in the offseason when we play general. Manager 1299 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:26,560 Speaker 1: SO i don't want to get that deep into it right, 1300 01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 1: now but it kind of depends on the direction that 1301 01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:32,120 Speaker 1: they want to. GO i think the good part about 1302 01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:36,560 Speaker 1: Having jazz is you can splurge on the person that you, 1303 01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,880 Speaker 1: want whether that be third base or second, base because 1304 01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,760 Speaker 1: you know That jazz can play either. Or And jazz 1305 01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:44,840 Speaker 1: has shown that when he's come, over a lot of 1306 01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,080 Speaker 1: great quotes coming out of him. Too just wants to, 1307 01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,560 Speaker 1: win doesn't really give a shit where he plays as 1308 01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:51,960 Speaker 1: long as he's in the lineup and, playing And i'm 1309 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:55,080 Speaker 1: rooting for. That so for, ME i feel like that's 1310 01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:58,720 Speaker 1: a problem that we find out after we as a 1311 01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:02,480 Speaker 1: time a part of the after The yankees make their 1312 01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,360 Speaker 1: roster and then it's, like all, right we have a hole. 1313 01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,120 Speaker 1: Here that's Where jazz. Plays AND i think that's Why 1314 01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,400 Speaker 1: jazz is so valuable to The, yankees is that he 1315 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,560 Speaker 1: can really be versatile whichever they need at the. 1316 01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,120 Speaker 2: Moment, yeah makes. 1317 01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,000 Speaker 3: Sense all, right let's. 1318 01:01:14,800 --> 01:01:21,800 Speaker 1: Go to question number. Six but before that quick. Break all, 1319 01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,080 Speaker 1: right we're back with the mail, bag and we moved 1320 01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 1: to question number, six which teams out of contention right 1321 01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,600 Speaker 1: now are the best setup to make a playoff? Run 1322 01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:35,200 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, five that was asked By Nate Underscore 1323 01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:39,400 Speaker 1: perez four ON. X i got my. ANSWER i can 1324 01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,640 Speaker 1: get into it, first OR i could throw it over to. 1325 01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:42,720 Speaker 1: You what do you think you go. 1326 01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 2: AHEAD i feel Like i've snagged a couple of year, 1327 01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,040 Speaker 2: answers SO i think we're gonna overlap out and one of. 1328 01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:51,600 Speaker 3: Them maybe HERE i have two, teams SO i might 1329 01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:51,920 Speaker 3: have one. 1330 01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:56,040 Speaker 1: Difference so here's a team That i've already been planning 1331 01:01:56,240 --> 01:02:00,280 Speaker 1: on investing in for next. Season, now of, course are 1332 01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 1: not out because of the season ain't, over but this 1333 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,720 Speaker 1: is already a Team i'm starting to really dive INTO 1334 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,640 Speaker 1: i think that The Cincinnati reds are primed for a, 1335 01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 1: really really good. Year last, year we forgot they lost 1336 01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,600 Speaker 1: one of their key cogs in the lineup In matt. 1337 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:17,800 Speaker 1: McClain you probably forgot About matt McClain because he has 1338 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,000 Speaker 1: barely played this entire. SEASON i don't even know if 1339 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,800 Speaker 1: he has a game under his. Belt Heimerk, candelario they 1340 01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:25,440 Speaker 1: signed him to a multi year. Deal DO i think 1341 01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:28,800 Speaker 1: he's just terrible? Now, NO i do. Not Noel Vie 1342 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:32,120 Speaker 1: marte missed eighty games because of A pd, suspension and 1343 01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,120 Speaker 1: then he comes. Back is he really as bad as he? 1344 01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:38,280 Speaker 1: SHOWN i don't think so. Either they have so many 1345 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,800 Speaker 1: good pieces on, offense where a lot of them have 1346 01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,880 Speaker 1: been injured for the entire. SEASON i think next year 1347 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:45,840 Speaker 1: is a big proven year for a guy Like Nick. 1348 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,560 Speaker 1: LODOLO i Think Hunter green has established himself as an 1349 01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,040 Speaker 1: ace in this. LEAGUE i think they have a lot 1350 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:55,040 Speaker 1: of good bullpen arms as. Well LIKE i look up 1351 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,120 Speaker 1: and down the roster AND i think to, myself this 1352 01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,880 Speaker 1: team is way too good to be performing like that 1353 01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,600 Speaker 1: have this. Year when you look at their overall record 1354 01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,640 Speaker 1: and THEN i, realize, well this team is one of 1355 01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:09,640 Speaker 1: the worst in one run games and now it's not 1356 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,800 Speaker 1: a bullpen, issue which is WHAT i look. 1357 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:12,960 Speaker 2: At. 1358 01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:16,480 Speaker 1: Right some teams are really bad in one run games 1359 01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,280 Speaker 1: and they have a, really really bad. Bullpen that makes 1360 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:22,680 Speaker 1: sense to, Me like The marlins last. YEAR a big 1361 01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,640 Speaker 1: reason why we faded the hell out of them is 1362 01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,840 Speaker 1: because they were unbelievable last year one run. Games they're 1363 01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,120 Speaker 1: always on the right side of. Them those things tend to, 1364 01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,600 Speaker 1: regress And i'm thinking to, myself they didn't have a good. 1365 01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,520 Speaker 1: Bullpen that doesn't even make. Sense that's pure. Luck The 1366 01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:40,480 Speaker 1: reds have a good bullpen and they've been getting crushed 1367 01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,960 Speaker 1: in these one run. Games LIKE i Think Alexis diaz bounces. 1368 01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:44,600 Speaker 1: BACK i think it was a bad year for, him, 1369 01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,640 Speaker 1: Right SO i look at a lot of guys Where i'm, Like, 1370 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:49,760 Speaker 1: okay you were. Injured there's some bad years guys coming. 1371 01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:54,680 Speaker 1: Over this is a, team they're. YOUNG i also think 1372 01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,480 Speaker 1: that they have shown in offseasons past that they're willing to. Spend, 1373 01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:00,840 Speaker 1: Right they're not going to go Get Juan soto this, 1374 01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,560 Speaker 1: offseason but can they give out a couple three four 1375 01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,400 Speaker 1: year deals where it makes. Sense they've also proven that 1376 01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,080 Speaker 1: they're pretty good at the, deadline making good, trades Getting 1377 01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:12,360 Speaker 1: Spencer steer, right The Luis castillo trade as. Well they've 1378 01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,040 Speaker 1: proven that they can be able to do. That So 1379 01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:15,960 Speaker 1: i'm going to be buying a lot of stock in 1380 01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,240 Speaker 1: The reds for next. Year who's your? 1381 01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:20,720 Speaker 2: TEAM i like that because you, know you Figure alie 1382 01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,280 Speaker 2: De lacruz takes another step forward and and you know 1383 01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:25,400 Speaker 2: could become THAT mvp candidate type of. 1384 01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:26,200 Speaker 3: Player you. 1385 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,560 Speaker 2: Figure OUTFIELD i think is one of the easier right 1386 01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:29,920 Speaker 2: hand and hitting outfielders is what they. 1387 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:30,960 Speaker 3: NEED i think they can find. 1388 01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:33,560 Speaker 2: That and you know that's not even mentioning That christian 1389 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,320 Speaker 2: And Carnassian strand has been you, know out pretty much 1390 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,320 Speaker 2: for the entirety of the. Year a power back THAT 1391 01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:40,160 Speaker 2: i think a lot of people were excited about this. 1392 01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:43,400 Speaker 2: SEASON i agree Like candelario can't be. Worse McClain was 1393 01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:47,320 Speaker 2: a key, guy AND i think the leap That Hunter 1394 01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 2: green has made this year is absolutely. Huge they haven't 1395 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,360 Speaker 2: Had ashcraft all. Year abbott has been hurt for portions 1396 01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:54,480 Speaker 2: of the. Year, lodolo you, KNOW i don't think you 1397 01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 2: can use that now as, like, oh better days, ahead 1398 01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,800 Speaker 2: because he seems to be potetially. Hurt but that is 1399 01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,000 Speaker 2: still another guy that you hope can give you more. 1400 01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,720 Speaker 2: Endings williamson's been out the whole. Year Rhet louder just came, 1401 01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:05,720 Speaker 2: up and you, KNOW i think has looked really good 1402 01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:07,800 Speaker 2: in the in the upper, miners down the stretch here 1403 01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:09,880 Speaker 2: and you, know turn into decent big league. Debut so 1404 01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,120 Speaker 2: the pitching is still, there and you, KNOW i think 1405 01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,360 Speaker 2: they've got other guys that that could be coming up. 1406 01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,040 Speaker 2: To SO i think The reds were one THAT i 1407 01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:21,240 Speaker 2: was looking, at BUT i ended up kind of pivoting 1408 01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,400 Speaker 2: a little bit more towards AND i think they're more 1409 01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,040 Speaker 2: of an obvious, pick quite, literally because they're they're not 1410 01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 2: even that far out of the out of it right. 1411 01:05:27,840 --> 01:05:29,760 Speaker 2: Now So i'll get to go with two picks BECAUSE 1412 01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:31,200 Speaker 2: i think this one's a little, obvious But i'd be 1413 01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:34,520 Speaker 2: remiss not to mention.

FUTURE i think that could 1429 01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:12,680 Speaker 2: be a decent backup at the very least In dingler 1430 01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,680 Speaker 2: And Jake rodgers has been. Fine but you know WHAT 1431 01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:17,960 Speaker 2: i really like about them is the pitching side of, 1432 01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:20,480 Speaker 2: things where you, have you, know The Cy young favorite 1433 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:21,800 Speaker 2: here And Derek scooble. 1434 01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:22,840 Speaker 3: Was probably almost surely gonna win. 1435 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,720 Speaker 2: It you've Got Casey mayes finally, back and like a 1436 01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:27,560 Speaker 2: bunch of other back end types of arms Like Ti 1437 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,360 Speaker 2: madden who's been pretty decent in his big league, debut 1438 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,480 Speaker 2: but Rees olsen's been, hurt and that's a guy that 1439 01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,560 Speaker 2: looks like a solid middle of the rotation arm went, 1440 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,720 Speaker 2: healthy it was a strange. Shoulder Sawyer Gibson WONG i 1441 01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:39,520 Speaker 2: think is a solid back end of the rotation, arm 1442 01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,040 Speaker 2: not even Mentioning jackson job who has front line up 1443 01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:45,080 Speaker 2: side like they've got DUDES i think throughout here and 1444 01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,720 Speaker 2: again just filling guys like In Matt Manning Wilmer flores 1445 01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:49,880 Speaker 2: has been hurt for most of the. YEAR i think 1446 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,200 Speaker 2: could be a really solid high leverage, arm and they've 1447 01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,480 Speaker 2: got some decent high leverage. Arms SO i think this 1448 01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:56,720 Speaker 2: is a team that the offense has really started to come. 1449 01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,200 Speaker 2: Together they definitely need to find a short. STOP i 1450 01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,960 Speaker 2: don't Think Trayce sweeney he's the, guy and Definitely Hovey bayez. 1451 01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,760 Speaker 2: Isn't but they've got a lot of pieces here and 1452 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,440 Speaker 2: some youth THAT i think has really matured this, season 1453 01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,080 Speaker 2: and then arms as, well and then, YEAH i think 1454 01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:11,560 Speaker 2: the other, team unless you have something to add on 1455 01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 2: The pirates or excuse me on The, tigers is The, 1456 01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,760 Speaker 2: pirates because, look they need to figure some things out, 1457 01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:21,160 Speaker 2: offensively no. Doubt but this STAFF i think has the 1458 01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:24,720 Speaker 2: potential to be one of the most electrifying young staffs 1459 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:27,480 Speaker 2: In Major League baseball as soon as next. YEAR i 1460 01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,240 Speaker 2: don't need to sell you On Paul.

Heater the floor is so high with those. 1473 01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:00,920 Speaker 2: Guys so that side of things is really. Fascinating and 1474 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,080 Speaker 2: then not to, mention you know what's been a frustrating 1475 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:07,920 Speaker 2: position for The pirates this year catcher And Andy rodriguez 1476 01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,000 Speaker 2: has missed the whole year with That Tommy john. Surgery 1477 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,960 Speaker 2: he was one of the top prospects in. Baseball guy 1478 01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:17,200 Speaker 2: THAT i have loved for a long. Time switch, hitter solid, 1479 01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:19,599 Speaker 2: defender has a potential to be an above average power 1480 01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:22,040 Speaker 2: guy as, well goodfield to. Hit like that's going to 1481 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:24,519 Speaker 2: be their catcher moving, FORWARD i, think and adding him 1482 01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,280 Speaker 2: now back to the. Fold ikf looks like he could 1483 01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:29,559 Speaker 2: be a solid shortstot for. Them, yes they need to 1484 01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:31,800 Speaker 2: go get some more offensive, pieces no doubt about, It 1485 01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:33,800 Speaker 2: BUT i think they can go sign a couple of 1486 01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,040 Speaker 2: decent bats knowing that their rotation is going to be 1487 01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:39,000 Speaker 2: mostly on the minimum for the next several, years and 1488 01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:41,200 Speaker 2: move forward that. WAY i think this team is real 1489 01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:43,680 Speaker 2: close to being, solid and there's no Way Cabrian hayes is. 1490 01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:46,600 Speaker 2: Worse i've given up on the breakout thing or anything like, 1491 01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:47,920 Speaker 2: that but there's no way he's. 1492 01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:48,879 Speaker 3: Worse next, year. 1493 01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,680 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about The pirates a little bit 1494 01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:56,200 Speaker 1: more when we get to some questions about coaches and 1495 01:08:56,400 --> 01:09:00,000 Speaker 1: general managers THAT i have questions for, you AND i guess, 1496 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,360 Speaker 1: yes the last, Team like the thing, IS i wrote 1497 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,800 Speaker 1: them down and we already kind of talked about them at. 1498 01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:09,040 Speaker 1: Nauseum BUT i think The nationals are getting kind of sneaky. 1499 01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:11,759 Speaker 1: Here not only have they had a pretty good, season 1500 01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:15,439 Speaker 1: based on. EXPECTATIONS i know there's fifteen games under five, 1501 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,120 Speaker 1: hundred but there were lines at the beginning of the 1502 01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:21,840 Speaker 1: season where it, said will The a's or The nationals 1503 01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,720 Speaker 1: have a worse? Record and that was after The a's 1504 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,320 Speaker 1: had one of the worst seasons in recent. Memory but 1505 01:09:27,400 --> 01:09:30,040 Speaker 1: The White sox took everybody's pain. Away so the fact 1506 01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:33,160 Speaker 1: is that they've been well over. Expectations we already see what. 1507 01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:36,280 Speaker 1: Cj abrams can. Do James wood is a freak of, 1508 01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:40,080 Speaker 1: Nature Dylan cruz is. Phenomenal Luis, garcia like those four 1509 01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:43,639 Speaker 1: guys are all twenty four or. Younger we're talking About 1510 01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,240 Speaker 1: jacob young as. Well but then in the, rotation like 1511 01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:49,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of interesting young arms here and that's 1512 01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,679 Speaker 1: Why i'm not fully buying in for next. Year might 1513 01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:54,960 Speaker 1: be more twenty twenty, six but when you Got, Gore Irvin, 1514 01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:59,040 Speaker 1: herz And Mitchell, parker like those are all four arms 1515 01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:01,599 Speaker 1: where you're hoping like two of them can become really 1516 01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,040 Speaker 1: good and two of them are pretty. Good and that's 1517 01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:06,880 Speaker 1: a pretty solid rotation led by a lot of firepower 1518 01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:10,040 Speaker 1: on offense at the top and also in The nationals, 1519 01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:13,600 Speaker 1: bullpen like it's mostly not very. Good but there are 1520 01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,599 Speaker 1: a couple of arms down, there which kind of tells 1521 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:20,280 Speaker 1: me that The nationals are pretty good at identifying relievers 1522 01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:23,200 Speaker 1: in the offseason to bring in where they might not 1523 01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:26,400 Speaker 1: be very good maybe developing them in their. System so 1524 01:10:26,720 --> 01:10:29,200 Speaker 1: they're a team THAT i don't think perfectly illustrates this 1525 01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,840 Speaker 1: answer for next, year BUT i think when we're doing 1526 01:10:31,840 --> 01:10:35,360 Speaker 1: this mailbag episode On september fourth of twenty twenty, five 1527 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:38,120 Speaker 1: they will be the answer. Then SO i just wanted 1528 01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:39,639 Speaker 1: to mention as SOMEONE i got my eyes. 1529 01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:42,080 Speaker 2: On i'm glad you mentioned them, too because like there's 1530 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:43,719 Speaker 2: going to be a couple of different arms that they can plug, 1531 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:46,120 Speaker 2: in and they've got two top one hundred arms In 1532 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:49,680 Speaker 2: Arlin susana And Travis akora who will will be in 1533 01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,519 Speaker 2: their rotation probably in two. Years But Patrick corbyn's five 1534 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:55,960 Speaker 2: to five era pitching every fifth day is going to be, 1535 01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:57,880 Speaker 2: gone and the money's going to be gone, too so 1536 01:10:58,160 --> 01:10:59,439 Speaker 2: they might be able to go sign a couple of 1537 01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:01,200 Speaker 2: vets if they want, on and that part of it's 1538 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:04,240 Speaker 2: interesting as. WELL i think the rotation that'll be an 1539 01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:07,280 Speaker 2: addition by, subtraction and they've got some guys that you, 1540 01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,920 Speaker 2: know could be of. Interest you Hope Kate cavali will be. 1541 01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:12,120 Speaker 2: Available they shut them down with dead arm after coming 1542 01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:14,200 Speaker 2: off WITH. Tj but If Kie cavali's, available you know 1543 01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:16,559 Speaker 2: that would be. Awesome Trevor williams was really solid last 1544 01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:18,400 Speaker 2: year and then you know it was just banged up this, 1545 01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,439 Speaker 2: year just never really got a chance to get it. 1546 01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:22,479 Speaker 2: Going but he could be a solid back end of 1547 01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:25,559 Speaker 2: the rotation. Arm so, like they've got, bodies AND i 1548 01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:28,840 Speaker 2: think that that is a team that with the young 1549 01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:32,280 Speaker 2: stars or the young high upside players maybe progressing, here 1550 01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,600 Speaker 2: you can get really excited about what the future holds In. 1551 01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:37,800 Speaker 2: Washington AND i do think that they will spend whether 1552 01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:39,280 Speaker 2: it's this coming off season or the one after. 1553 01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:43,439 Speaker 1: THAT i. Agree let's get to question number, seven another great, 1554 01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,800 Speaker 1: One which medium or small market team do you think 1555 01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:51,080 Speaker 1: we'll push in serious chips and spend big this? Offseason 1556 01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:54,960 Speaker 1: that was asked by Krabby PATTY o five On. INSTAGRAM 1557 01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:57,960 Speaker 1: i have one BECAUSE i think it's kind of been 1558 01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:03,960 Speaker 1: impossible to correctly predict some of these small media market, 1559 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:07,519 Speaker 1: teams like what exactly they're going to. Do So i've 1560 01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:10,320 Speaker 1: come to it FROM i really want this team to 1561 01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,080 Speaker 1: do something AND i also think that they have the 1562 01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:18,320 Speaker 1: wherewithal to do. It So i'll start The. Royals. Bang 1563 01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:22,720 Speaker 1: Michael waka has sixteen million coming off the. Shelf you're 1564 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:26,280 Speaker 1: nearing the end Of Salvador perez's, contract and you're also 1565 01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:30,479 Speaker 1: twentieth in payroll among thirty teams this, season and a 1566 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:32,960 Speaker 1: lot of that money is going To bobby Wit. Junior 1567 01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:35,439 Speaker 1: so you prove to your fan base and you prove 1568 01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:37,720 Speaker 1: to the rest Of Major League baseball that you have 1569 01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:42,160 Speaker 1: the money to make big time signings like. This and 1570 01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:45,439 Speaker 1: now this is the, window, Right this Is Bobby. Whitt 1571 01:12:45,479 --> 01:12:47,120 Speaker 1: he hit his prime a lot quicker than we all. 1572 01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:50,400 Speaker 1: Thought start building around. Him you also Have Cole Reagan's 1573 01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,800 Speaker 1: it's not often that you get a left handed pitcher 1574 01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:54,800 Speaker 1: with that type of stuff just kind of fall into 1575 01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,160 Speaker 1: your lap from an Rolled As chapman type. Deal you're 1576 01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,599 Speaker 1: Seeing Seth lugo take a step. Up you still have 1577 01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,080 Speaker 1: him another. Year so what are kind of The royals? 1578 01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:04,280 Speaker 1: Weaknesses while we look at the bottom of their, lineup 1579 01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:07,640 Speaker 1: could they add some big time offensive. Pieces could they 1580 01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,799 Speaker 1: also go out and add a big time starting. Pitcher 1581 01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:14,600 Speaker 1: This royals team has this. Skeleton they just need to 1582 01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:18,080 Speaker 1: go out in free agency and add some meat to the. 1583 01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,639 Speaker 1: Bones AND i think that they are in a really 1584 01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:25,000 Speaker 1: good position to do that this. Offseason go, Pounce go 1585 01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:28,000 Speaker 1: watch what you can do in the, playoffs BECAUSE i 1586 01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:29,880 Speaker 1: think they're going to make. It maybe they go in 1587 01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:31,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of, run maybe they get bounced. EARLY 1588 01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:34,800 Speaker 1: i don't, know but they're going to see that their 1589 01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,160 Speaker 1: window is starting to. Open go add some big time. 1590 01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:41,679 Speaker 1: Pieces the lane is. Here you could be the best 1591 01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,880 Speaker 1: team in The American league next. Year you never know 1592 01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:46,439 Speaker 1: what's gonna. Happen Maybe houston takes a little step, back 1593 01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:48,439 Speaker 1: maybe The guardians take a little bit of a step. 1594 01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:51,559 Speaker 1: Back The twins aren't spending because OF tv, deals and 1595 01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:53,639 Speaker 1: then you look at The American League east like anything can. 1596 01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:56,000 Speaker 1: Happen so If i'm The, Royals i'm spending big this. 1597 01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,080 Speaker 1: OFFSEASON i know my areas of concern And i'm pouncing 1598 01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:00,200 Speaker 1: And i'm really excited for. 1599 01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:02,400 Speaker 2: Them i'm just gonna add to that because that's Who 1600 01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:05,720 Speaker 2: i've got, Too and, really this is the window now 1601 01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:07,800 Speaker 2: to do, it because they've got a lot of their 1602 01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:11,160 Speaker 2: complimentary and solid pieces all in PRE.

Year it's a no brainer to go spend right, 1622 01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:05,960 Speaker 2: now and we give them credit this, offseason right like 1623 01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,800 Speaker 2: the fact that they added some decent pieces around and 1624 01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:11,240 Speaker 2: spent a little bit to try to give This royals 1625 01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:13,559 Speaker 2: team a, shot and we, said, like it's, nice it'll 1626 01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:15,880 Speaker 2: be good experience for The royals to play games going 1627 01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,519 Speaker 2: into the, season just knowing that it's not already over before, 1628 01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:21,200 Speaker 2: that before it, started and now we're seeing even just 1629 01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:23,320 Speaker 2: that even adding pieces that we thought would just make 1630 01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:25,880 Speaker 2: them a five hundred ball club have actually been enough 1631 01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,120 Speaker 2: to make them a playoff contender and a team that 1632 01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:29,200 Speaker 2: we expect to make the playoffs. 1633 01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:30,240 Speaker 3: Now so imagine what. 1634 01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:31,880 Speaker 2: Would happen, if you, know they go out and add 1635 01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:36,479 Speaker 2: some impactful, pieces like some high high impact like one 1636 01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:38,519 Speaker 2: hundred million dollar. Player MAYBE i don't know if they 1637 01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:40,360 Speaker 2: go that. High maybe it's a couple fifty million dollar, 1638 01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:44,360 Speaker 2: guys whatever it may. Be but there's clearly an opportunity 1639 01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:47,120 Speaker 2: here from a financial perspective and FROM i think the 1640 01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:50,960 Speaker 2: just overall roster construction, perspective that is a no. Brainer 1641 01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:52,599 Speaker 2: and if they make the, playoffs it's so much more 1642 01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:55,400 Speaker 2: revenue for the team as. Well so even just making, 1643 01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:57,840 Speaker 2: it you, know into the first round or whatever it may, 1644 01:15:57,880 --> 01:15:59,439 Speaker 2: be like that's gonna be more money for them to. 1645 01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:02,200 Speaker 2: SPEND i fully expect them to spend a good amount 1646 01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:05,040 Speaker 2: of money going into next, season and as you, mentioned Like, 1647 01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:07,479 Speaker 2: salvey a couple more, years but then that's gonna be 1648 01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:09,080 Speaker 2: off the books in a couple of seasons as. Well 1649 01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:11,640 Speaker 2: so when you're giving out a long term, deal you 1650 01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:13,240 Speaker 2: can feel good about the short term and the long. 1651 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:15,439 Speaker 2: Term SO i think The rules are the most obvious, 1652 01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:17,240 Speaker 2: spender AND i wouldn't be surprised if they're players for 1653 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:18,000 Speaker 2: like some big. 1654 01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:21,320 Speaker 1: NAMES i also think that The reds fit this. CRITERIA 1655 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:23,400 Speaker 1: i think The reds are going to be spenders next 1656 01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:24,519 Speaker 1: year now NOT i. 1657 01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:26,240 Speaker 3: Think Castill ay won't be a broke. 1658 01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:29,360 Speaker 1: Boy that's the. Thing it's, LIKE i know their ownership 1659 01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:34,120 Speaker 1: and that's more of a want than a. Prediction but 1660 01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,280 Speaker 1: they have PROVEN i, mean they did Sign. Candelario it's 1661 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:40,719 Speaker 1: not like they're not signing. Anybody and there's holes. Here 1662 01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,280 Speaker 1: and maybe it's more through the trade market where they're 1663 01:16:44,479 --> 01:16:46,639 Speaker 1: moving off some guys in order to get new. Pieces 1664 01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:48,840 Speaker 1: maybe that's really how they're going to change their. Team 1665 01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,879 Speaker 1: BUT i think The reds they're just in an interesting 1666 01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:54,040 Speaker 1: spot next season And i'm very excited to see what they. 1667 01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:56,200 Speaker 1: Do BUT i don't have the confidence in them to 1668 01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:58,240 Speaker 1: spend LIKE i do with The. Royals was there any 1669 01:16:58,280 --> 01:16:59,760 Speaker 1: other teams that kind of came to mind as a 1670 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:03,200 Speaker 1: team that you think would. SPEND i think The tigers 1671 01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:05,280 Speaker 1: potentially could spend a little bit. Too they. 1672 01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:06,800 Speaker 3: COULD i wonder if they're traumatized at. 1673 01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:09,080 Speaker 2: ALL i, mean it wasn't it obviously Wasn't Scott, harris 1674 01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:12,320 Speaker 2: but with with the you, Know Javier bias. Situation but 1675 01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:14,439 Speaker 2: just knowing like okay eat that you look at the 1676 01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:16,639 Speaker 2: rest of the, team there's really not that many large financial. 1677 01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:19,240 Speaker 2: COMMITMENTS i don't know how much is going to be 1678 01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,599 Speaker 2: owed over the next few years to Like Miguel cabrera 1679 01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,439 Speaker 2: and how that all. Works but you figure on a 1680 01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:27,559 Speaker 2: long term, deal if it's, backloaded they could go do, 1681 01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 2: that and you. 1682 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:29,439 Speaker 3: Know you see the core that they have. 1683 01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:32,200 Speaker 2: There it wouldn't be shocking if to me if they 1684 01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:35,920 Speaker 2: went that direction, Either SO i could see. That i'm 1685 01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,120 Speaker 2: just kind of curious to see How Scott harris operates 1686 01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:40,800 Speaker 2: and everything in kind of an open free agency now 1687 01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:43,439 Speaker 2: where they're they're getting closer to that winning.

Year LIKE i think you mentioned The pirates 1865 01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:24,720 Speaker 1: more just because of the, pitching, yes the, offense like 1866 01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:27,120 Speaker 1: how do we not really have anybody on? Offense like 1867 01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:29,760 Speaker 1: how IS i mean O'Neil cruz is, great Like Brian 1868 01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:34,840 Speaker 1: reynolds is?

Helped but, STILL i Mean eve the 1876 01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:54,360 Speaker 2: number one, pick like you got cute with it and 1877 01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:59,200 Speaker 2: you know it didn't work out there that The Ryan 1878 01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:02,960 Speaker 2: hayes extension is aging, terribly. 1879 01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:04,360 Speaker 1: You. 1880 01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:08,880 Speaker 2: Know there he seems to have built a stable of 1881 01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:11,960 Speaker 2: really good arms and they're pitching prospects are. Insane they've 1882 01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:14,200 Speaker 2: got plenty of other arms too that are really, intriguing 1883 01:27:14,479 --> 01:27:16,400 Speaker 2: but just the offensive side of things has been a total. 1884 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:17,880 Speaker 3: STRUGGLE i Think shelton could be. 1885 01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:20,640 Speaker 2: Gone BUT i think from the front office, perspective AND 1886 01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:23,240 Speaker 2: i might be wrong, HERE i think he's you got 1887 01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:25,719 Speaker 2: to Give chrrington one more, year especially with the rotation 1888 01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:28,120 Speaker 2: that they've kind of cultivated here, now like give him 1889 01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:29,920 Speaker 2: one more year to try to piece together the offense 1890 01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:32,639 Speaker 2: and then. Go but if it doesn't go well next, 1891 01:27:32,680 --> 01:27:35,280 Speaker 2: YEAR i do think that then he's very much on 1892 01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:36,720 Speaker 2: the hot. Seats how much more patience can you? Have 1893 01:27:36,840 --> 01:27:39,000 Speaker 2: but nothing doesn't give him any money to, spend so 1894 01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 2: that part makes it difficult really together a low budget 1895 01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,679 Speaker 2: rotation in terms of just homegrown, talent but he can't 1896 01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:48,560 Speaker 2: do it's so hard to do.

Lock and it's not just the fact that 1953 01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:10,120 Speaker 2: they continue to struggle and underachieve and they've spent right like. 1954 01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:13,679 Speaker 2: That it's the fact that everybody in their moms knows 1955 01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:16,920 Speaker 2: what's going on and like where they're, Deficient and, Yeah 1956 01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:19,839 Speaker 2: Sonny gray was a nice, addition but like still continue 1957 01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:22,439 Speaker 2: to be deficient in certain. Areas the way that they've 1958 01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:25,960 Speaker 2: ragged alled certain players and handled SITUATIONS i think have been. 1959 01:30:26,040 --> 01:30:29,400 Speaker 2: BRUTAL i don't know why they were so quick to 1960 01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:32,280 Speaker 2: give an extension To Ali, Marmal like why do that? 1961 01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:35,800 Speaker 2: Now like you, know is this the guy who now 1962 01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:38,400 Speaker 2: you paid them to? Be LIKE i JUST i think 1963 01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:39,840 Speaker 2: there has to be a point in time where What 1964 01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:43,880 Speaker 2: john Moseay lock did shouldn't outweigh what he is, doing 1965 01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:46,519 Speaker 2: and right NOW i still think it Has and to, 1966 01:30:46,560 --> 01:30:50,320 Speaker 2: me this another year of. DISAPPOINTMENT i think he should 1967 01:30:50,320 --> 01:30:52,920 Speaker 2: be on the hot seat this offseason BECAUSE i think 1968 01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:55,240 Speaker 2: from the manager, situation from the way that they've handled their, 1969 01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:57,720 Speaker 2: players from the way that they Handled Wilson carcerez last, 1970 01:30:57,760 --> 01:30:58,960 Speaker 2: year and, NOW i, look you let him be a, 1971 01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:00,680 Speaker 2: catcher and he's a great. One so that was a 1972 01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:02,840 Speaker 2: great move for. Them but like it just to, me 1973 01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:05,160 Speaker 2: a lot of it's very, puzzling and you, know whether 1974 01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:06,920 Speaker 2: it's the development of some of the young their young, 1975 01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:10,559 Speaker 2: guys or the roster construction in, GENERAL i think there's 1976 01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:12,439 Speaker 2: been a lot of faux pause From Mosey locke AND i, 1977 01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:14,479 Speaker 2: think you, know he should start to be put on 1978 01:31:14,520 --> 01:31:15,000 Speaker 2: the hot. 1979 01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:18,200 Speaker 1: Seat one hundred. Percent one more manager THAT i wrote 1980 01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:21,040 Speaker 1: down THAT i think is gone after the, Year Ron 1981 01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:25,519 Speaker 1: washington with The angels Because perry's getting. Extended so it Ain't, 1982 01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:29,200 Speaker 1: perry but someone's got to. Go and not only have 1983 01:31:29,240 --> 01:31:34,439 Speaker 1: The angels been just downright, Terrible Ron washington's. Rhetoric whether 1984 01:31:34,520 --> 01:31:38,200 Speaker 1: you agree that you, know the old timing, managers they'd 1985 01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:42,120 Speaker 1: call out, players you, KNOW i get, THAT i, Understand 1986 01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:43,920 Speaker 1: but WHAT i am telling you now is that just 1987 01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:46,599 Speaker 1: doesn't fly in locker rooms these days now with today's, 1988 01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:49,880 Speaker 1: players not to today's, players like you can hate, that 1989 01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:52,680 Speaker 1: but you have to understand that that is a matter of, 1990 01:31:52,720 --> 01:31:55,960 Speaker 1: fact and the fact that he's consistently calling out, guys 1991 01:31:56,600 --> 01:32:00,240 Speaker 1: never taking responsibility for some of his, decisions and the 1992 01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:04,040 Speaker 1: team is horrible when you're worse than The a's and 1993 01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:06,839 Speaker 1: you've got a big time payroll because you're The, Angels, 1994 01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:09,839 Speaker 1: like this team is so broken in so many, ways 1995 01:32:10,160 --> 01:32:12,400 Speaker 1: and bringing in a manager that is calling out players 1996 01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:16,240 Speaker 1: and not taking responsibility is the opposite of. Building SO 1997 01:32:16,400 --> 01:32:16,759 Speaker 1: i think. 1998 01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:18,960 Speaker 2: Especially when you're rushing guys up to the big leagues and, like, 1999 01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:21,760 Speaker 2: oh like, yeah they're adjusting, mentally they're adjusting in a 2000 01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:23,840 Speaker 2: lot of different, ways and you have a manager that's 2001 01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:26,880 Speaker 2: probably gonna throw them under the, Bus like, yeah, YEAH 2002 01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:30,800 Speaker 2: i think the game is at least from a managerial, 2003 01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:32,840 Speaker 2: perspective this is kind of passed her on by a little, 2004 01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,519 Speaker 2: Bit LIKE i Just i'm always going to be out 2005 01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:38,160 Speaker 2: on that. Approach and, again maybe people, say, oh these 2006 01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:40,680 Speaker 2: kids needs toughing up, Whatever maybe you're, right but the 2007 01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:43,280 Speaker 2: reality is they're not gonna be that, Way, like they're 2008 01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:44,760 Speaker 2: not gonna be most of them are not gonna be 2009 01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:46,800 Speaker 2: receptive to. That so whether you think that they should 2010 01:32:46,800 --> 01:32:49,599 Speaker 2: be or not is a moot point because most players 2011 01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:52,600 Speaker 2: do not handle that well, nowadays so like it just 2012 01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:53,559 Speaker 2: isn't conducive to. 2013 01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:55,599 Speaker 3: Success SO i, mean and. 2014 01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:58,519 Speaker 2: Even active players will tell you, that you, know SO 2015 01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:01,680 Speaker 2: i think that's that's definitely a name that fits the, 2016 01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:02,920 Speaker 2: bill but who knows what the freaking. 2017 01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:09,280 Speaker 1: Angels, well hopefully everybody enjoyed this Mail bag.
