00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 5: And today we got a mail bag.

10
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 4: Let's do it questions from Instagram and our Twitter on

11
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 4: Twitter at just bb Media on Instagram at Just Baseball Show.

12
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 4: What's up, dude, It's nice to see you. It's maze

13
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 4: to see.

Speaker 6: You with some color on your face and hear your

00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah. It was one of those forty eight hour guys.

00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 5: Right you feel you look good? You sound good? Feel good?

18
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 4: Had our bug? I think I ate something weird. I've

19
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 4: just been in pain in my stomach and even my

20
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 4: picks have suffered as a result. We were on an

21
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 4: absolute heater went two and two on a day that

22
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 4: I was really sick, one and two on the day

23
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 4: that I was pretty sick, and now I wasn't sick.

24
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: As we're talking on Tuesday, this is going to be

25
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 4: released Wednesday. I'm feeling good, so hopefully the picks go

26
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 4: that way as well. But we have a mail bag today.

27
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 4: But it is also that weird day in the calendar

28
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 4: where may the fourth Star Wars. When you when you

29
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 4: grow up, were you a Star Wars guy?

30
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 5: No, not at all.

31
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 4: Really, I was a huge Star Wars guy. Really anything

32
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 4: science fiction at all, because that was it was always

33
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: Star Wars and Marvel for me, those have been my

34
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 4: all right now that I turn off the game, if

35
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 4: I've one thing that I'm gonna watch that has nothing

36
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 4: to do with sports, it was always that.

37
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 6: I loved Batman. I love that Batman. I probably saw

38
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 6: it like all of the anything back, and Scooby Doo

39
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 6: was like my number one. I know that's off like Kilter.

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 6: I loved whenever I.

41
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 5: Was sick all day, Scooby Doo all day. Like that

42
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 5: was really I don't know about Scooby do. I love dogs.

43
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's tunny. I didn't even think about

44
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 5: that so recently.

45
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 6: I was like I used to love Scooby Doo, like

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 6: I still have stuffed animals and stuff like that, like

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 6: in my closet, stowed away of Scooby Doo. But for

48
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 6: whatever reason, science fit, I don't know why. I know

49
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 6: you were never a Pokemon guy. I never got into Pokemon.

50
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 6: I used to like Star Wars, never.

51
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 5: Got too into it. But yeah, Scooby Doo.

52
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: We just got into baseball and sports so early. And

53
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 4: I know for the same thing for you. Jack always

54
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: makes funny me about this, But we're just not here

55
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: pop culture guys because we never got the opportunity to

56
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 4: do so, because we just weren't that interested in it.

57
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 4: That's why we host a podcast and we're about to

58
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 4: answer a bunch of questions about baseball, because that's what

59
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: we love to talk about.

60
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, even like my nerdy, like niche collecting, it was

61
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 6: it was based vintage baseball, like vintage baseball cards. Like

62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 6: for my twelfth birthday, it was my dad giving me

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 6: like a trist Speaker card.

64
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 7: It's like, everyone's like, what's wrong with your son? That's

65
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 7: what he wants for his birthday. And the only collection

66
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 7: that I made, I mean obviously had my baseball cards,

67
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 7: but another collection I guess that I had I collected pennants.

68
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 7: I got a bunch of pennants back in my house

69
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 7: back in California. But that's really all that I kind

70
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 7: of did. It was just all baseball, and that's why

71
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 7: we are pretty one sided. But this is a side

72
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 7: that we're pretty good at, and that's talking baseball. So again,

73
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 7: these questions were asked on our Twitter and on our

74
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 7: Instagram and you can see all the questions in the

75
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 7: episode link description with the tags. So question number one

76
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 7: are what are your favorite examples of random MLB players

77
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 7: who own a certain franchise? Asked by at real Eli

78
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 7: on Twitter. This is a good one because I wrote

79
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 7: an article on Just Baseball dot com called Who's Your Daddy?

80
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 5: Probably one of the first articles like ever one of

81
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 5: the first stars goes.

82
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 4: I always find it so interesting which player crushes another player,

83
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 4: which team dominates a player, which player dominates that team,

84
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 4: and it's just out of nowhere. And I think this

85
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: got sparked, of course, because of the Just Baseball Cheap game.

86
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 4: Ak Eric Fetti against the Marlins. He's had this unbelievable

87
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: undertoo era type career against the Miami Marlins wall In reality,

88
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 4: his ERA is closer to a six, but against the Marlins,

89
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 4: he's cy young who's another example of a guy who

90
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 4: you thought you just couldn't imagine that he actually dominated

91
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 4: this team.

92
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 6: So I want to first give give a nod to

93
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 6: our advisor Jeff Conine.

94
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 5: Who made and I know a lot of people hit well.

95
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 6: In course, what Jeff Conine did to cors was was criminal,

96
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 6: but he also did it at home against the Rockies too,

97
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 6: So I wanted to give a quick shout out to Jeff.

98
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 6: He hit and this was in sixty six starts, so

99
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 6: seventy four appearances against the Rockies, two hundred ninety five

100
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 6: light appearances. Jeff slashed three seventy six, four forty eight,

101
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 6: six point eighty four against the Rockies with sixteen homers

102
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 6: and sixty three driven in in sixty six starts. He's

103
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 6: havaturing like an RMBI game against the Rockies. That is nasty,

104
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 6: absolutely nasty. So I had to give a shout out

105
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 6: to Jeff.

106
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 5: On that one.

107
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 4: And do you have do you have any other ones?

108
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 4: Or is that is that your main one? No, so

109
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 4: my modern current player one.

110
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 5: Jeff's gonna be so mad that I didn't call him

111
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 5: a modern player.

112
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 8: The current player one is Kyle Schwarber. Dude, Kyle Schwarber

113
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 8: absolutely owns the Mets. Nine home runs in ten games

114
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 8: against the Mets last year, remember that streak that he

115
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 8: was on that was all against the Mets. And then

116
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 8: you and I were just at the game where unfortunately

117
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 8: the Phillies got no hit. But later the series, Schwarber

118
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 8: ends up hitting a home run against him, starts to

119
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 8: get it going again, and now I was thinking, I

120
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 8: was like, what has he done against the Mets? Three

121
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 8: twenty four oh nine, seven forty six slash line. Sixteen

122
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 8: homers in thirty three games for Kyle Schwarber sixteen homers

123
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 8: and one hundred and twenty two at bats.

124
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 5: That's insanity. He owns the Mets. He owns the Mets.

125
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 4: And I encourage you guys because I wrote the article

126
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 4: and it's it's one player on every team and who

127
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 4: they dominate and vice versa. So it has all listed out.

128
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: So if you're worried that your favorite team isn't on here,

129
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: I guarantee you it's in the article. So I chose

130
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: a different that's not in that article because I just

131
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 4: love doing this. Adam Wainwright has a ten and fifteen

132
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 4: record with a five to two nine ERA in his

133
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: career against the Reds. I don't know why he could

134
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 4: be a Hall of Fame pitcher one day. Probably won't be,

135
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 4: but will be in that level of conversation. He has

136
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 4: a career array around three but against the Cincinnati Reds

137
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 4: of all teamo point twenty nine ERA on the other

138
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 4: side a role this Chapman has given up one run

139
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 4: since twenty sixteen against the Orioles in over thirty one

140
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 4: innings of innings pitched. And then my last one. This

141
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 4: is a current one that's still progressing, and he pitches

142
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 4: on Tuesdays. You'll be hearing this episode on Wednesday, so

143
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 4: you'll see if this trend is still continuing. But alec

144
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 4: Manoa against the Yankees, alec Manoah has dominated them through

145
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 4: first nineteen and a third innings. He's given up three

146
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 4: or runs to give him a one four to two

147
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 4: ERA against them in his first start ever in the

148
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: big leagues. Normally a rookie pitcher might struggle in their

149
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 4: first you know, outing in the major leagues. But alec

150
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: Manoah threw six innings, two hits, seven k's against the

151
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 4: New York Yankees. We were talking pre record, you had

152
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 4: a great point about his intensity that he's going to

153
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 4: bring to every Yankee start.

154
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly right.

155
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 6: I mean you know it when when you're a player,

156
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 6: that's the types of players I think that have like

157
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 6: that fire in them. You pitch against the Yankees, it

158
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 6: brings it out a little bit. I don't care what

159
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 6: people say. You see the pinstripe sixty feet six inches

160
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 6: from you, You level up, especially if you're pitching in

161
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 6: Yankee Stadium. And then you brought up a good point

162
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 6: that I mean, what's Manoa's best pitch?

163
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 5: A slider?

164
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 6: What do many of these Yankees power hitters flail at

165
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 6: the slider?

166
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 5: Like you pointed out.

167
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 6: If I had to pick the worst matchup for Stanton,

168
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 6: I don't know what his numbers are against Manoa. I'd

169
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 6: assume they're bad. And yeah, but Manoa is a fiery dude.

170
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 6: There's already a little bit of that back and forth

171
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 6: that we've seen between the two teams. I love watching

172
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 6: Manoa pitch against the Yankees because you see him get

173
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 6: even more intense. I know you hate it, but like

174
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 6: from a baseball fun fans.

175
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 5: At that point, it's sweet. Absolutely, it's sweet. It's awesome.

176
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 4: I would never of course, my Yankee fandom can get

177
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 4: in the way and we're like, well, I don't want

178
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: alec Minoa to pitch well, but you can appreciate a

179
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 4: baseball It's awesome and I love when they face each other.

180
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 5: Number two, This is.

181
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 4: An interesting one because I think you can take it

182
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 4: a couple of different ways. Are they surprising you by

183
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 4: how good they are? Are they surprising you by how

184
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 4: terrible they are? So the question is who's a player

185
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 4: that surprised you guys the most so far through the

186
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 4: first month of the season. Asked by side dot ingersoll

187
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 4: on Instagram. Do you want to go first or do

188
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 4: you want me to?

189
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: I'll go for so.

190
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 6: I took a sneak peak at yours and I honestly

191
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 6: didn't even realize how bad he was doing.

192
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 5: So I'm excited for you to get into that. I'll

193
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 5: go quick.

194
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 6: On a positive, I got a shout out Eric Cosmer

195
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 6: Pride to Broward County. You know down Lagrup. He's a legend,

196
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 6: you know, just because he was such a good high

197
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 6: school player. Obviously a great big league player, but has

198
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 6: been a disaster over the last few years. The narrative was,

199
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 6: you know, what are we gonna do with Hasmer. There

200
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 6: was talk that the Padres were literally gonna pay the

201
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 6: Mats to take him. They ultimately decided to hold on

202
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 6: to him. And Hosmer has not only been great, he's

203
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 6: been one of the best hitters in Major League Baseball

204
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 6: so far. I know it's only twenty one games. Who

205
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 6: knows how it's gonna go, But I mean he has

206
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 6: been unbelievable. Two seven, five seventy.

207
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 5: Nine slash line Peter, it's a two hundred WRC plus.

208
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 6: I don't I don't expect it to continue the entire year,

209
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 6: but I'm floor to how good. I mean, he hasn't

210
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 6: had a stretch this good, probably since Kansas City.

211
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 5: I would venture to say.

212
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 4: Maybe all the noise that we were talking should about

213
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 4: him got to his head. Maybe he's out there everybody

214
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 4: art that we you know, we can't really quantify right

215
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 4: now because it's just like it's Aerk Cosmer. He's hitting

216
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 4: right now. But will this continue? My thing is with

217
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 4: Arek Cosmer? You know, do you think it's going to continue?

218
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 4: I don't know how what a better word? How to

219
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 4: word that better? Do you think it's going to continue?

220
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 5: My no?

221
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 6: Well, first, first of all like, no to a degree, no, like,

222
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 6: because you look, his ground ball rate actually went up,

223
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 6: so he's not getting the ball in the air. What

224
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 6: I will say, though, is he's hitting all he's hitting

225
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 6: the ball hard, like when he's spring it up, he's

226
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 6: hitting it hard.

227
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 4: So it's like seven hundred is Babbitt like seven hundred?

228
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 5: That is a good question.

229
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 6: Actually, let me see four twenty six, so it makes sense.

230
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 6: I will say this. I think it continues in the

231
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 6: respect that he will be a serviceable player. Like I

232
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 6: think he's going to be better than he was last year.

233
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 6: But you know, twenty twenty he was a one twenty

234
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 6: eight WRC plus guy, so like, I think he can

235
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 6: still be something close to that, something decent. I don't

236
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 6: think he's going to be the best hitter in Major

237
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 6: League Baseball, so I think we'll taper off. But I

238
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 6: do think he's made some marginal improvements, and I mean

239
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 6: that's good news for the Padres, it is good news

240
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 6: for the post All.

241
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.

242
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 4: He not only Eric Osman not only looks serviceable, but

243
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 4: he looks pretty good. And I don't think he's gonna

244
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 4: hit three point fifty four hundred for the year, but

245
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 4: I could see him putting up a respectable year and

246
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 4: really having a bounce back type here.

247
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 5: In that sense.

248
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: My biggest surprise is how bad Mark kauz Semion has

249
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 4: been for the Rangers. I mean, one of the worst

250
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 4: overall hitters in baseball, and that's not hyperbole.

251
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 5: One of the worst.

252
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: Hitters in baseball when you look at WRC plus, he's

253
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 4: in the bottom ten and base This guy finished top

254
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: three in MVP voting.

255
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 5: Last year.

256
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 4: He hit over forty home runs, the most by a

257
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 4: second basement in MLB history, and now he has zero

258
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 4: home runs through ninety eight polate appearances so far, slashing

259
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 4: one nine two twenty four, two oh seven, slugging and arum.

260
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 4: This isn't right now a case of oh, he's hitting

261
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 4: the ball hard, just you know, getting unlucky. He's putting

262
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 4: the ball in the air and things will work itself

263
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 4: out for him. You see the savant page, I bet

264
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 4: you got it pulled up right now, and you're seeing icicles,

265
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 4: not just blue icicles, percent digit lower single the digits

266
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 4: and all this stuff. And he's not even playing a

267
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 4: good defensive position at second base either. This guy is

268
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 4: thirty one years old. He's not a twenty seven year

269
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 4: old who's off to a rough start. He's a thirty

270
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 4: one year old. I'm not willing to press the panic button.

271
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 4: I'm not, but there hasn't been anything so far that

272
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 4: tells me, oh, he's gonna be totally fine, the expected stats,

273
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: anything you I test watching the Rangers, he's having bad

274
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 4: at bats. Everything's on the ground, no power, still fast,

275
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 4: and he's not playing a good defensive shortstop. This could

276
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 4: be worrisome. I just don't. It's hard because I don't.

277
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 4: I'm trying to evaluate him better, but I don't really

278
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 4: have anything to work off right now, do you.

279
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 6: It's just it's just been bad. It's just he's just

280
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 6: not hitting the ball hard, honestly.

281
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 5: Like it.

282
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 6: To me, it looks like he's almost playing through something right,

283
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 6: like like he's hurt.

284
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 5: I just don't know because what it is.

285
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 4: That's what it feels like to me, because it's not.

286
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 5: He just doesn't look the same. He just doesn't look right. So,

287
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 5: I mean, it's weird.

288
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 6: He's thirty one, like he said, like, it's not like

289
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 6: he's it's his thirty sixth birthday and he's tapering off.

290
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 6: He's coming off of a phenomenal year and a year

291
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 6: before that where he was great as well. I'm not,

292
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 6: like you said, I'm not going to slam the panic button.

293
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 6: He's still running well ninetieth percent islend print speed again,

294
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 6: like he's not chasing and whiffing an egregious amount, which

295
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 6: I almost wish he was, because then you just say, Okay,

296
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 6: he's just a little bit over aggressive, new contract, trying

297
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 6: to do too much, blah blah blah. But that's not

298
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 6: the case. Is with rates and chase rates are pretty normal.

299
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 6: It's just not impacting the baseball at all. That's the concern.

300
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 4: That's just the concern. And I'm sorry if that's not

301
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: good enough analysis. If you're listening, I don't know what

302
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 4: to tell you. He's just not hitting the ball. I

303
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 4: don't know if it's injury. We haven't heard anything.

304
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 5: We're just worried.

305
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, or Cassemian watch That's all I gotta say. Yeah,

306
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 4: let's move on to some breakout guys. Question number three,

311
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 5: So I'll try to answer this one.

312
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 6: But it's funny to me because there's almost like a

313
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 6: different answer within it all. Like Lizardo to me has

314
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 6: the highest ceiling of the trio. Right, Like just in

315
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 6: terms of there's only one guy on this list that

316
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 6: there is a lefty who throws ninety nine with a

317
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 6: curveball that has the best whiff rate or top.

318
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 5: Three wilf Right in the league. But Lower has looked absolutely.

319
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 6: Unbelievable and has seen his viewo tick up a mile

320
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 6: per hour and a half. And Kyle Right, I just

321
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 6: wrote a whole thing, as we've talked about on here,

322
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 6: about how sold I am on his adjustments thus far.

323
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 5: I would lean.

324
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 6: That's tough, like that, I think they're all gonna be

325
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 6: I think they're all going to sustain a level of

326
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 6: their performance.

327
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 5: So I want to preface with that I lean either.

328
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 6: Lower or Lizardo just off of the fact that, I mean,

329
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 6: these guys get the whiffs and bunches right now, they

330
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 6: get the wins, like when we're talking about top of

331
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 6: the line. I just don't know if Lour is going

332
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 6: to be able to get sustain forty plus wifth rate

333
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 6: on a fastball like he has this year, I don't

334
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 6: know if that's going to continue.

335
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 5: Lizardo.

336
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 6: I hope that he can continue with the command. That's

337
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 6: my only concern. But the curveball has been phenomenal and right,

338
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 6: you know, he has been able to maximize and be pinpoint.

339
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 5: But again, another guy that I wonder about the Command,

340
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go.

341
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 6: I think the safest pick is lower. I think the

342
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 6: safest pick is lower because I don't think he'll bottom out.

343
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 6: But I think Wizardo has a chance to be the

344
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 6: best of the bunch. But I'm buying all of them.

345
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 6: If that, I know that's a cop out, but I'm

346
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 6: buying all of them.

347
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 4: No, that's not a cop up, because I mean, what

348
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 4: are we going to say that we don't buy a

349
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 4: breakout that we don't believe in. I mean, we believe

350
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 4: in all of these guys. And we've talked so much

351
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: about hay Zarta. We had him on the Just Baseball Show,

352
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 4: when you wrote an article about Kyle Wright. We've been

353
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 4: all over the Kyle Wright. So I want to take

354
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 4: this time to just talk about Eric Lauer for a second,

355
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 4: because Eric Lower has made tangible a just Smith's now

356
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 4: that he's twenty six years old. Remember this was a

357
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 4: first round pick. Eric Lower and Luis a Rias were

358
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 4: traded for Trent Grisham. Now Who's what kind of trade

359
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 4: is that? Because at first it was seeing, oh yeah,

360
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 4: the padres crush that they got Trent Grisham. He looks

361
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 4: like this also type level outfielder. Luis a Rias, you

362
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 4: might rather have him than Trent Grisham. And Eric Lawer

363
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 4: is the prize. Not only on is Eric Lower throwing

364
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 4: a full mile an hour harder, But the great thing

365
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 4: is he's using his fastball different. You could see that

366
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 4: the usage is down. That slider that did so well

367
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 4: for him last year, he's now using it twenty one

368
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 4: percent of the time, up from twelve percent last year.

369
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 4: So he took his best off speed pitch. He's throwing

370
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 4: it more and it's elite. The fastball he's throwing a

371
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 4: little bit less and it's coming in harder, and then

372
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 4: all the other off speed pitches are working well.

373
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 5: Off it.

374
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 4: Think about it if I told you just a blind resume,

375
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 4: because Eric Lawer in all actuality. He looks like a

376
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 4: really boring guy, kind of looks at the Gogert if

377
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 4: you think about it, I mean, it's like a little

378
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 4: white guy, you know, the fourth pitcher in Milwaukee. He's

379
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 4: not the sexiest name, like Eric Lower is not very

380
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 4: sexy when you hear that either, just a.

381
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 5: Guy named Eric. I mean, I don't know.

382
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 4: But when I just give you the resume, if I

383
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 4: told you I have a first round guy who's twenty

384
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 4: six years old throwing ninety four to ninety five, nobody

385
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 4: can hit his best off speed pitch and then his

386
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 4: other best off speed pitch is pretty good. The command

387
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 4: is ticking up. Maybe he's not gonna get this forty

388
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 4: four percent with rate on the fastball all year, and

389
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 4: maybe he's not gonna have a one to nine to

390
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 4: three era. But the reality of the fact is that

391
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 4: since twenty twenty, Eric Lower has a better ERA than

392
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 4: Zach Wheeler, Garrett Cole, Robbie Ray, Clayton Kershaw, so many

393
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 4: high marquee names. It is only in one hundred and

394
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 4: thirty two innings, that's the thing, And it hasn't been

395
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 4: a ton of innings yet. But from those innings, I

396
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 4: really believe it. And it's not a trio in Milwaukee.

397
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 4: It's a what's a what's the name for a four?

398
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 4: It's a it's a quadruple. Yeah, that's not the right word.

399
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 4: I know, a quadrant five.

400
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I know it's four guys that are good.

401
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 5: It's it's square four dudes that are good. Yeah.

402
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 6: But also the slider a little bit of like building

403
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 6: on that. I love that he's you know, I love

404
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 6: seeing him use that pitch more obviously because that's been

405
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 6: a really good offering for him. Kind of phasing out

406
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 6: that the cutter a little bit as well, and the

407
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 6: slider has more sweep now, so he's he has a

408
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 6: little bit more going on with that, uh, and then

409
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 6: using all of the secondaries too, so when your fastball

410
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 6: ticks up and then you have a slider that's improved

411
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 6: and then you can mix in a curveball and the

412
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 6: occasional change up. Like, you got to be really amped

413
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 6: about what you're seeing from Eric Klauer. And it's not

414
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 6: like he's doing this in some organization that has no

415
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 6: ability to develop pitching, right, Like this is an organization

416
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 6: that continues to squeeze the most out of their pitchers.

417
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 6: And I think Wower' is the latest edition. And like

418
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 6: you said, he's twenty. This isn't a guy that's thirty

419
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 6: two that's having a little flash in the pan. This

420
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 6: is a guy that may have actually figured it out.

421
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 6: Same thing with Kyle Wright, he's about twenty six. Same

422
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 6: thing with WIZARDO he's twenty five or might still be

423
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 6: twenty four. So it's like, you have these young guys

424
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 6: that still are in an opportunity to make these tweaks.

425
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 5: Have all have first round pedigree.

426
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 6: By the way, I know Lozardo wasn't a first round pick,

427
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 6: but he got first round bonus money out of high school.

428
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 6: These are all first round guys quote unquote, and they

429
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 6: have the talent now they're squeezing it out. I'm sold

430
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 6: on all of them. And I like, I don't even

431
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 6: think it's a cop. I think is the best answer

432
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 6: we can give because it's like, yeah, that's good news.

433
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 5: Why that's good news?

434
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, like if we could poke hold, I mean, we

435
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 4: just believe in all these guys. I believe in Lozardo,

436
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 4: I believe in Kyle Wright. And the other reason we

437
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 4: decided to focus on Eric Lauer in this episode is

438
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 4: because we've talked so.

439
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 5: Much much about the other guy.

440
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 4: I believe that Asus Wuzardo, and then you even wrote

441
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 4: a article Aboutkyle Wright. We've spent multiple episodes so far

442
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 4: talking about Kyle Wright. So we'll move on to the

443
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 4: fourth question. And this one was recently asked. It was

444
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 4: a new addition, and it's because Miguel Sinot just hit

445
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 4: the IL, tearing his meniscus. No timetable for a return,

446
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 4: so this new question is is pretty pertinent. The Twins

447
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 4: right now have a log jam at first base. I

448
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 4: want to know what you think they should do. Snow

449
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 4: is on the IL. They have Rias playing first base,

450
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 4: Miranda can play first base, and kir Lof, who is

451
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 4: in triple A, is really a first baseman. Asked by

452
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 4: Wade Wald eight on ig I'm gonna throw that over

453
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 4: to you because not only are you the mega twenty

454
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 4: twenty two Twins truther, but you're also the person who

455
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 4: found Hose Miranda when he was five years old.

456
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 5: I love that.

457
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 3: No.

458
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 6: I appreciate the tossover because I was unfortunate to see

459
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 6: SNeW go down like that, especially in a celebration. That's

460
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 6: not the way I want to see Hose Miranda get

461
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 6: called up. But I'm answer to see Jose Miranda get

462
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 6: caught up, and I think he's going to be an

463
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 6: upgrade for them.

464
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 5: I really do.

465
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 6: But I have a question for you, Peter, because I'm

466
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 6: looking at it this way. Arias is just he's a

467
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 6: batsball machine. You want to have that guy in your

468
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 6: lineup because they have so much power. Otherwise, is Gio

469
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 6: Urshela really a guy that needs to be in the

470
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 6: lineup every single day at third base?

471
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 5: I don't think. Sorry, I told you after this scene.

472
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 4: Do you remember when we did like that Yankees recap

473
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 4: and I was just getting so pissed off about Yankees

474
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 4: losing the wild card and I went off about Gio Orshella.

475
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 4: And it's not that I think Gio Orshella is a

476
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 4: bad player. I just don't think he is a starting

477
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 4: caliber third baseman on a playoff team. The position is good,

478
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 4: first of all positions, too good. He is an overrated

479
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 4: defender in my eyes. I think he's a good defender.

480
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 4: I think he could possibly be a great defender, but

481
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 4: he's not an all world defender. So it's not you

482
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 4: have to have an all world type glove to make

483
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 4: sense for the bat to be in that premium type

484
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 4: of position.

485
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 5: And it's not.

486
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 4: He caught Flash in a pan with the Yankees, with

487
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: the Guardians and the Blue Jays, like he was never

488
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 4: really a hitter, caught Flash with the Yankees, then teetered off,

489
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 4: and then ever since he's teetered off, he's not been

490
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 4: that great of a bat. I don't think he should

491
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 4: be playing third for a team that should be in

492
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 4: playoff contention.

493
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 6: I agree, So that's why I wanted to lead with that,

494
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 6: because I think he should still have a good role

495
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 6: with the team. He can play a good thirty froll

496
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 6: in here and there, you can play all over. But

497
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 6: I think Miranda should be getting some starts at third.

498
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 6: He should be getting some starts at first. And I

499
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 6: think you should use some of that defensive versatility that

500
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 6: Rayas and Miranda have. Both are not good defenders, but

501
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 6: at least they're capable of playing multiple positions, so kind

502
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 6: of move them around, disguise them in different positions. I

503
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 6: would prefer Miranda at first, but right now, if you

504
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 6: want to keep Ariahs in the lineup, you're probably gonna

505
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 6: have to put Miranda at third and Arias at first,

506
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 6: which you know that that could hurt the defense a

507
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 6: little bit, but I'm okay with that. When you have

508
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 6: Buxton and center, Correa at short who you know, all

509
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 6: that's an all world defender right there.

510
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 5: He's pretty good.

511
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 6: Guys are right and Kaplour and the rest of the

512
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 6: the rest of the defense is fine enough. That's how

513
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 6: I feel about it, because personally, I don't know if

514
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 6: Urchelle should really be in the lineup every single day,

515
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 6: and the way a Riz is hitting, you probably got

516
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 6: to stick him in there.

517
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 5: So I want to get Miranda.

518
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 6: The abs though, because dude, he is good. He can

519
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 6: hit for average, he can hit for power.

520
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 5: He is a really, really.

521
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 6: Exciting offensive piece, and I think can give you more

522
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,239
Speaker 6: production than Snow has been giving you.

523
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 4: I think that's the main point of this. We want

524
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 4: Jose Miranda and Alex Kirloff getting way more at bats

525
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 4: than Miguel Sino and Gio Urshella. Yeah, however you want

526
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 4: to slice that. We are not the manager of the Twins,

527
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 4: We're not the GM of the Twins. What we know

528
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 4: is we want to see more Jose Miranda and more

529
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 4: Alex Kureloff and way less Miguel Sono and just a

530
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 4: little bit less of je orschelle Yes, way less. Miguel Stono.

531
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 4: Miguel SnO, I don't mean to pile on. I know

532
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 4: you got injured. I'm sorry, brother. I hope you come

533
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 4: back well. But there's a reality to the situation. You

534
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 4: are a too true outcome guy and you're not walking.

535
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, these two true outcomes. That's really exciting. But yeah,

536
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 6: I think Miranda will help them big time. So I'm

537
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 6: excited to see how they how they get him some

538
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 6: consistent abs.

539
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 4: Question number five, do you think the Phillies will figure

540
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 4: it out and make a.

541
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 5: Push for the division?

542
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 4: Asked by at Bryce underscore Palm ninety five on Twitter.

543
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 4: Arum here, let me let me just do this for you.

544
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 4: I'm just going to give you where the Phillies right

545
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 4: now rank in terms in a bunch of different stats,

546
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 4: and then you could take it from there. Hitting, we

547
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 4: know about the offense. They're eighth and average, they're tenth

548
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 4: and obp fourth and ops. They're sixth in home runs.

549
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 4: Starting pitching, we knew it was going to be a

550
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 4: little bit of a struggle. Twenty first in era sixteenth

551
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 4: and whip seventeenth and k per nine relief pitchers. They're

552
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 4: twenty third in era, they're twenty fourth and whip and

553
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 4: they're twenty sixth in hits per nine. Isn't that kind

554
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 4: of exactly what we thought was going to happen? That

555
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 4: the offense was going to be great. We know they're

556
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 4: going to bang, and I really think that this could

557
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 4: be a top five offense when it's all said up.

558
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: Starting pitching inconsistent and we saw firsthand when Aaronola was

559
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 4: pitching for the Phillies. No wonder the X fit is

560
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 4: so high. The Phillies cannot play defense your people, and

561
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 4: then the relief options in the bullpen they're not very good.

562
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 4: So AREM. When I think about the Phillies, I'm still

563
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 4: on this same feeling of I wouldn't want to take

564
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 4: their over on wins because this team is too polarizing.

565
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 4: But then also I know that they could make moves

566
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 4: of the deadline. But we've said it before. They're right

567
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 4: up against the tax threshold. Do they want to pay it?

568
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 5: We'll see.

569
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 4: Maybe they don't care, maybe they do, but I think

570
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 4: that they do. So what do we do with the Phillies.

571
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 4: I think they're going to finish third, and I don't

572
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 4: think that they're going to make the playoffs. That's where

573
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 4: I'm at right now.

574
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 5: And I mean with the way the Marlins pitching is

575
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 5: look too.

576
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 6: You know, I'm not saying they're gonna finish ahead of

577
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 6: the Phillies, but they're definitely not going to roll over

578
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 6: and give the.

579
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 5: Phillies automatic wins like the Nationals.

580
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be three or two or three games difference,

581
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 4: I think.

582
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 6: And so now you're dealing with the Mets, the Braves

583
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 6: and the Marlins, who are you know, gonna definitely be

584
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 6: difficult on a lot of your games. We saw how

585
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 6: bad the defense was first first hand. It was it

586
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,239
Speaker 6: was rough to watch that team out there. And then

587
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 6: I went again on Sunday and I'm watching Schwarber like

588
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 6: unable to cut balls off in the gap, you know,

589
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 6: like those are little things that, in the grand.

590
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 5: Scheme of a one hundred and sixty two game season,

591
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 5: will continue to cost you wins and continue to cost

592
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 5: you wins and continue to cost you wins. And that's

593
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 5: what I'm worried about. Like that you mentioned it. They

594
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 5: could make moves.

595
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 6: Their system has has gone from one of the worst

596
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 6: to improving slightly in terms of trade pieces because you know,

597
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 6: their last two first round picks, Mick Abel and Andy Paynter,

598
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 6: have been phenomenal and probably are you know, well, inside

599
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 6: top one hundred guys by the time we do the

600
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 6: mid season update.

601
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 5: Stott's still a good piece. Bom is swinging it. Like

602
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 5: you mentioned, offense, I think right now is even underperforming.

603
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 5: I think it could be bad.

604
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 4: I think it will be Literally are by the numbers too,

605
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 4: by all the expected numbers, all that they'll be better

606
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 4: or even underperforming.

607
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 5: And they've been doing well.

608
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 4: They are a great offense, but no doubt, you.

609
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 5: Can't win that way man.

610
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 6: Like you've probably you've seen some Yankee teams that were

611
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 6: all offense and what I honestly kind of built pretty similar. Right,

612
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 6: How many Yankee teams did we see with questionable pitching,

613
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 6: amazing offense and questionable defense.

614
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 4: Just think about this, Phillies fans. From a Yankee guy

615
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 4: to a Philly guy, like I don't have anything against you,

616
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 4: think about this.

617
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 5: I have been.

618
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 4: So upset at the way the Yankees have formulated these

619
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 4: teams and all of these teams have done nothing. Yes,

620
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 4: we've made the playoffs, but we lose in the wildcard

621
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 4: game we lose in the divisional series, and you know why,

622
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 4: because it's all based around big bats that once they

623
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 4: get going, it's unstoppable to stop them. But once they

624
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 4: aren't their inept the starting pitching can be inconsistent. The

625
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 4: Yankees defense was never that good to help shoulder the load,

626
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 4: and the Yankees always had a better bullpen than the

627
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 4: Phillies have always had. So right now you are just

628
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 4: approaching what those Yankee teams have done that never could

629
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 4: actually get over the hump, and you're not even there yet.

630
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 4: That's how I feel about the Phillies. I'm just watching

631
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 4: a little bit worse of Yankees teams that already failed

632
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 4: and like.

633
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 5: To build off of that.

634
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 6: It's baseball bro like, as you know, no matter how

635
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 6: loaded your offense is, there's gonna be days where the

636
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 6: offense doesn't show up. There's gonna be days where the

637
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 6: Dodgers offense doesn't show up. Right, we watched the Phillies

638
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 6: just get no hit.

639
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 4: Yes, but if the offense doesn't show up, they almost

640
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 4: have no chance a toast, no chance, no chance.

641
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 5: That's the thing.

642
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 4: So and again that doesn't win in the playoffs.

643
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 6: And that's in a division again, where the Marlins I

644
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 6: think are gonna be a pest for them because the

645
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 6: Marlins are going to keep the score low for the

646
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 6: most part, like they pitched well. It's part of the

647
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 6: reason why I think the Marlins have handled the Phillies

648
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 6: over the last year. That's why I think that the Braves,

649
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 6: when they're pitching is going right, they could be a

650
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 6: problem for them. I just I just don't don't love

651
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 6: I don't love it. And the Mets don't get me started.

652
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 6: I mean, the Mets can carve them up, they just

653
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,719
Speaker 6: no hit them. They can continue to do that. So

654
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 6: no matter who you have on your offense, good pitching

655
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 6: always beats good hitting. And I mean it's just not

656
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 6: sustainable that way. I don't think and there and.

657
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 4: There might be people in the comments who say, well,

658
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 4: there have been teams historically that have been able to

659
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 4: hit their way through championships, maybe with a bad defense,

660
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 4: maybe with a because the starting pitching is like each

661
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 4: individual player, I do kind of like, like I love

662
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 4: Zach Wheeler, Aaron Nola. You know, we still think Eron

663
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 4: Nola's a good pitcher. They just Warez is a good pitcher.

664
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 4: Kyle Gibson is decent and Zach Efflin has his numbers

665
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 4: are actually great, Like his advanced stuff is great. I mean,

666
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 4: I test you look at Zach Eflin, You're like, he's

667
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 4: pretty good. So all side was pretty good. He's pretty good.

668
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 4: See they have they have a deeper rotation. But then,

669
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 4: like each individual guy also has his issues.

670
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 5: Is Ranger Suarez giving you seven shutout? Right? No? Not

671
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 5: the playoffs?

672
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 4: Like wars against the Dodgers in the playoffs, Actually Dodgers

673
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 4: don't hit lefties that well.

674
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:03,959
Speaker 5: Bad example.

675
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 4: Still but still, I mean, still, what do you think

676
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 4: is gonna happen?

677
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 5: Philly.

678
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 6: Let's be honest with each other, right now, Yeah, you

679
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 6: get Wheeler Game one? Okay, Yeah, but whoever he's pitching

680
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 6: against is gonna be just as good. Game two Noah,

681
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 6: Noah's fine, Like he's a good too. But I promise

682
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 6: whoever else you're playing in the playoffs will have a

683
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 6: better number two.

684
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 5: Think about this.

685
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 4: Let's just go through it. Nola versus Logan Web or

686
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 4: Carlos Rodon Nola verse, Brandon Woodruff Nola verse, Max Scherzer,

687
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 4: Like you're just they're You're not winning these games unless

688
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 4: by some freakazoid it happens that it's not freakish that

689
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 4: the offense is rolling at the time, but it ha

690
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 4: that's the only way it's gonna happen. The offense has

691
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 4: to be the best in baseball and rolling come playoff time, and.

692
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 6: It's just it's just gonna take too many things timed

693
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 6: up at the right time. What I will say, though,

694
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 6: is the Phillies are gonna go on their hot streak

695
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 6: where their offense is clicking, and everyone's gonna be like.

696
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 4: Taking out of context, being like they hate the Phillies

697
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 4: and they're gonna go in a thirteen game Wintry. We

698
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 4: said that at the beginning of the year they're going

699
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 4: to have these stretches where it's like, Wow, are the

700
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 4: Phillies the best team in base can't wait.

701
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 5: It's fun. It's gonna be great.

702
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 4: It's gonna be fun to bet on them too, because

703
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 4: then they're gonna go to roll those They're gonna score

704
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 4: seven runs every.

705
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 5: Game, Harper and Schwarber, they're gonna get hot at the

706
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 5: same time.

707
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 6: It's it's so predictable. It's so predictable. But they're not

708
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 6: built for the playoffs. They're not built for one sixty.

709
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 4: Two now that we're saying it's so predictable. Now you

710
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 4: know what, They're probably gonna go undefeated for the rest

711
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 4: of the year. Their piging is gonna be great, their

712
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 4: hitting is gonna be terrible, and.

713
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 5: And and D. D.

714
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 9: Gregori is just winning a gold Glove. It's short, and

715
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 9: so is Alec Boat third base. All right, let's move

716
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 9: on to question number six. This is a great one.

717
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 9: What are some good starter packs to buy on Loop?

718
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 9: Was on there for an hour last night and didn't

719
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 9: know what to buy? That was asked by Bernstein Darien

720
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,239
Speaker 9: on Twitter our good friends at Loop, which you can

721
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 9: find in the episode linked description. We're buying trading cards NonStop.

722
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 9: I freaking love it on Loop. Right now, all we're

723
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 9: doing is trading. I was actually talking with some of

724
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 9: my boys back home. We were on the phone just

725
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 9: talking about, all right, which were going to buy? Which

726
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 9: packs you we're gonna buy?

727
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 4: Because it's so constant and it's just fun all day long.

728
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 4: So I'll throw that over to you, because you really

729
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 4: are the card guy.

730
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

731
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 6: So today, as you're listening to this, finally Bowman Baseball

732
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 6: is out.

733
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 5: I'd say ninety percent of sellers will have the Bowman.

734
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 6: Baseball so on that you can be hunting, you know,

735
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 6: Khalia Watson, George Valeria, Jackensie Nowell, Matt McClain, Like, there's

736
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 6: so many players that you can be hunting in that

737
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 6: that is super fun in that checklist.

738
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 5: And then also I'm a big fan of TOPS Chrome

739
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 5: because it's cheaper as.

740
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 6: Well, So whenever I'm I don't feel like blowing a

741
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 6: ton of money on Bowman, although you can go packs.

742
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 6: That's the great part is you can just buy individual

743
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 6: packs on Loop. But twenty twenty one TOPS Chrome is

744
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 6: one of my favorite because they have a really good

745
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 6: list of rookies from last year. Twenty twenty two Chrome

746
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 6: will be coming out soon as well. But if you're

747
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 6: kind of browsing around and you're looking for something to

748
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 6: open on the Loop map, I know it can kind

749
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 6: of be intimidating, like what should I buy?

750
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 5: All these sellers have so much product.

751
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 6: You can never go wrong with Bowman ever, especially if

752
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 6: you're into prospects, you'll really like that. But TOPS Chrome

753
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 6: is probably one of the most underrated and I'm a

754
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 6: huge fan of that. So whether no matter the year,

755
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 6: but twenty twenty one TOPS Chrome is awesome, and it's

756
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 6: pretty cheap to rip. If you want to go super

757
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 6: super cheap. There's twenty twenty one Tops Baseball that I

758
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 6: know a ton of people have, and then those are

759
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 6: both awesome.

760
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 5: Excuse me.

761
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 6: Twenty twenty two Tops Baseball is out now too, so

762
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 6: that's where you can get the Wander Franco rookies potentially,

763
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 6: and that's what everybody's hunting in twenty twenty two. So

764
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 6: can't go wrong with any of those. But Tops Chrome

765
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 6: and or Bowman Baseball or Bowman Draft, you're in business

766
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 6: and you'll have a lot of fun ripping it. I've

767
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 6: had a blast doing it.

768
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 4: I would like to say, what are my bold takes?

769
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 4: Wander Franco wouldn't the American League MVP.

770
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 5: Hey, he's looking good.

771
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 4: You know.

772
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 5: The crazy thing.

773
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 4: About wander Franco, and the other reason I wanted to

774
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 4: bring him up is not only I want his card

775
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 4: more than anything, but he's not walking at all, and

776
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 4: he's doing everything else, and that's his forte is his

777
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 4: great plate discipline. And now he's able to take walks

778
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 4: like that, he's gonna start taking pitches and it's over.

779
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 6: He's gonna hit three forty this year and it's unbelievable

780
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 6: and he just keeps getting better and better. And by

781
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 6: the way, one last note on Wander. Somebody pulled out

782
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 6: of a Walmart pack. So to show you that you

783
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 6: never know what you can rip and open and pull

784
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 6: on Loop, Wander's one of one rookie card in a

785
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 6: Walmart pack, a two dollars pack of cards. They pulled

786
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 6: Wanders one of one?

787
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 4: How much is that worth?

788
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 5: Right now? No idea, no idea, It's gonna go to auction?

789
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 4: What like? What give me?

790
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 5: I mean you gotta tease me? What do you think?

791
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 5: What could it be?

792
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 6: It's his top rookie, so it won't be as much

793
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 6: as the Bowman, which went for like two hundred it's

794
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 6: got it's probably gonna be sixty seventy eighty thousand.

795
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 4: Can you imagine out of a two dollars pack, just chilling,

796
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 4: eating dinner, playing on the Loop app, pull an eighty

797
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 4: k thing for ten two bucks. Yeah, I'm gonna jump

798
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 4: on that app.

799
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 6: Right after I put some Rally Green based cards. I

800
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 6: put some Raley Green bas cards yesterday and I'm like

801
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 6: thrilled about that.

802
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 4: On this because Radley Green, no one's talking about him

803
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 4: right now is still coming back from that injury, and

804
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 4: then he's gonna come and he's gonna be one of

805
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 4: the best rookies in baseball.

806
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 5: So let's keep going.

807
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 4: We have three questions left, number seven, which playoff hopeful

808
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 4: pitching staff? Are you most concerned about? Asked by at

809
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 4: big Nate two one, four four on Instagram. So am

810
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 4: I have two different ones? You might have taken one

811
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 4: of them, you know, just you agreed with me or

812
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 4: you just thought that it was a good idea. So

813
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 4: who's your first, because I'll then break into my two

814
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 4: unless you take one, so I play. I know that

815
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 4: there's only there's only so many.

816
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 6: So I'll say, man, I know what you've got, and

817
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 6: I'm excited to get into that with you. But I mean,

818
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 6: the Cardinals going into this year was one that I

819
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 6: was always concerned about.

820
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 5: So that's kind of a cop out. They need to

821
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 5: do something. I literally wrote an article about that. Yeah, yes,

822
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 5: good though another Broward County boy.

823
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 6: But there's a few different angles I could take it

824
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 6: this because the White Sox I know you have and

825
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 6: I'm excited to hear you talk about that because they

826
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 6: concern the heck out of me. No, I have another

827
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 6: team with the Braves, the Break the Braves. I want

828
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 6: to talk Braves because I just watched Charlie Morton.

829
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 5: Before we recorded.

830
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm getting a little worried about Charlie Morton, you

831
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 6: know because at first I'm like, Okay, he broke his leg.

832
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 6: You know, he's getting his literally getting his feet back

833
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 6: under him. But also at the same time, man like

834
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 6: Charlie Morton's is also getting up there. And if this

835
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 6: isn't the year where he slows down, then it is

836
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 6: probably going to be next year.

837
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 4: You know.

838
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,280
Speaker 5: So looking at thirty eight year old Charlie Morton really struggle.

839
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 6: Uh is a little bit concerning because we don't know

840
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 6: what Mike Soroka is going to look like when he

841
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 6: comes back, and when he's going to come back. Uh,

842
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 6: we don't know if Wascary Noah is going to be

843
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 6: able to be anything similar to what he was last year.

844
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 5: He got demoted.

845
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 4: Uh.

846
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 6: You look at Ian Anderson. I'm not as worried about him.

847
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 6: I think he's gonna get going. But that's a little

848
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 6: bit concerning. Kyle Wright has been a revelation and that

849
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,919
Speaker 6: is huge. That is I mean, if Kyle Wright wasn't

850
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 6: doing what Kyle Wright was doing, I'd be slamming the

851
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 6: panic button on the pitching situation right now. We were

852
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 6: hoping friend of the podcast Tucker Davidson would be, you know,

853
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 6: shouldering a bit more of a load. They've only gone

854
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 6: to him for two and two thirds, so it's a

855
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 6: little bit suspicious concerning right there. I will say Bryce

856
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 6: Elders looks good and limited looks. I've liked what we've

857
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 6: seen from Bryce Elder, and I know that was a question.

858
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 6: I actually really do like what I've seen from Bryce Elder.

859
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 6: But I'm getting cautiously a little bit concerned about this

860
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 6: Braves pitching staff because outside of Max Freed and the

861
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 6: emergent Kyle Wright, I mean, do you really trust the

862
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 6: rest of this rotation right now?

863
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 4: Peter, I've told you, I've said it before that I

864
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 4: am worried that Ian Anderson is not going to take

865
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 4: this ultimate leap up to being A two. I still

866
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 4: will always believe in Max Fred because I think he's

867
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 4: a freaking stud. I am slightly worried about Charlie Morton

868
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 4: and if Wascar, you KNOWA is not what we thought

869
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 4: at all, can they get by with the combination of

870
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 4: kind of Max Freed and Kyle Wright at this point,

871
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 4: and Ian Anderson of course, so at the top end

872
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 4: they can still win. But I understand for the depth

873
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 4: that what the Braves kind of were built on, right,

874
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 4: is this depth All those outfielders last year, the big

875
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 4: bullpen that we thought they just had dudes coming up

876
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 4: the pipe. Even they got rid of Frery Freeman and

877
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 4: got back medals and that wasn't a depth piece, but

878
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 4: in just they can replace like that.

879
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 5: They got Ronic Junior back.

880
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 4: But now you really see it's not as deep as

881
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 4: we thought. Defending champs, Yeah, defending champs and another team

882
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 4: that's not as deep as we thought at least I

883
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 4: don't think so. And this is not because I'm concerned

884
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 4: about the White Sox, like I don't think we even

885
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 4: need to spend much time though, because I think that's

886
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 4: clearly obvious.

887
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 5: They're like amazing.

888
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 4: But and they're thrown out kaikel and Vince Velasquez. I mean,

889
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 4: what is this the twenty twenty one padres where they're

890
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 4: just throwing out Jake Rietta.

891
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 5: It's April.

892
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 4: It's not August where all the arms are done. It's April.

893
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 4: I know, lance Lynn is gonna come back. So but

894
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 4: it's it's clear that the White Sox are a team

895
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 4: where you need to be beep beep pitching.

896
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 5: They need it now.

897
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 4: But the team that's kind of the I guess outside

898
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 4: because I shouldn't be that worried about them, but I am,

899
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 4: like I just am, and maybe the numbers wouldn't point

900
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 4: towards it because as a rotation, their era is fine.

901
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 4: But dude like come playoff time is a combination of McClanahan,

902
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 4: Drew Rasmussen, Corey Klueber, Josh Fleming. You know this guy,

903
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 4: Chris bos As a sucks. Yeah, Boz is gonna come back,

904
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 4: but then again, he's a rookie. How many inxies he's

905
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 4: gonna throw? Buttino is another guy, not a rook but

906
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 4: young guy whose innings are going to be capped a

907
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 4: little bit. I know that they're gonna get Boss back,

908
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 4: and McClanahan is awesome, and Rasmussen has even proved that

909
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 4: he's pretty good. I'm just I don't feel like this

910
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 4: Rai's pitching unit has the same you know, heat as

911
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 4: it normally does, where every single dude is throwing a

912
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,279
Speaker 4: hundred and you never heard of these guys, Like I

913
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 4: watched them, I'm like, you know, they're pretty good. I

914
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 4: guess the main point of it is as a Yankee fan,

915
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 4: the Rays scare me every single game we face them.

916
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 4: When I'm watching them face the Yankees versus not, I'm

917
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 4: not as scared. I guess that's my main point of

918
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 4: this is I'm not as afraid of the Rais pitching

919
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 4: as in prior years.

920
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 6: So I look at the Rays and like, on the surface,

921
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 6: I could see that, you know, I could see the concern,

922
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:49,720
Speaker 6: especially with the rotation.

923
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 5: But I'm a firm believer in Rasmussen now, I really

924
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 5: am too. Yeah, And that bullpen right now for the

925
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 5: race has been freaking insane, insane. They're the number one

926
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,959
Speaker 5: bullpen in f WUR right now. I believe they're number

927
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 5: one or two, maybe only behind the Giants.

928
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 4: And they accumulate so much war because of the starters,

929
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 4: and it's always relievers in their role.

930
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 6: And they do it like they do it and the

931
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 6: third in era, ah, their second and fifth. They don't

932
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 6: need the starters to do too much. So I look

933
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 6: at it and I'm like, Okay, you just need Rasmusen.

934
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 5: To go five. You just need bos to go five and.

935
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 6: Then McClanahan looks like he's Koby Olsen just put out

936
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 6: an awesome article on McLanahan.

937
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 5: He's certified days.

938
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 6: I do think that there's a level of concern, uh,

939
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 6: you know, across the whole season, right like, how are

940
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 6: they going to keep.

941
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 5: Up with the Blue Jays the Yankees?

942
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 4: Uh?

943
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 6: And how are they gonna do that when when those

944
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 6: teams have pretty much a guy that can go deep

945
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 6: every fifth day and I feel like every fourth day

946
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 6: with the Rays, we're like, how are they piecing together

947
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 6: nine innings today? But they always piece it together, that's

948
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 6: the thing. So it's tough. I understand the concern, but

949
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 6: I also am like their bullpens dominating still at the

950
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 6: same level and the rotation is solid, but I do

951
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,959
Speaker 6: see a little bit more vulnerability than in previous years

952
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 6: and they, you know, an injury or two and things

953
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 6: could get ugly.

954
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 4: The way I thought about it was when they said

955
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 4: playoff rotations, right, So I was thinking about playoff teams,

956
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 4: and then I was thinking about in the playoffs, and

957
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 4: my first thought was, if Shane McClanahan goes down, are

958
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 4: they not kind of screwed.

959
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 5: That's a big one. And Game two Drew Rasmussen versus

960
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 5: you know, and back to the Nola point.

961
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 4: Yeah it's I'm not but again before there's still producing

962
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 4: well like in April there, I'm not saying that this

963
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 4: is a bad rotation and it's not to the White

964
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 4: Sox standard or the Braves. I just looked at the

965
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 4: roster from the eye test, from trying to understand where

966
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 4: they'll be at in the playoffs, thinking to myself, I'm

967
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 4: not as scared about the Raises previous years.

968
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 5: That's how I felt, is that they love that, they

969
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 5: want you to they want you.

970
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 4: They want me to be afraid, and you know what,

971
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 4: I'm not afraid.

972
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 5: I'm not afraid. Raise not afraid anymore. Dix, You're gonna

973
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 5: you're gonna You're gonna regret that one.

974
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 4: I know, they beat this shit out of me with

975
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Springs, and I'm like, who the Jeffrey Sprigs? But

976
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 4: he's got a one forty five expected bat. He ever

977
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 4: to get any.

978
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 5: Shoves, I'm gonna believe it. I'm believing. I think they

979
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 5: can hold it up.

980
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 6: But I think the biggest thing is can McClanahan shoulder

981
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 6: a full season loan, and then how does boswook when

982
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 6: he comes back?

983
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 5: If those two.

984
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 4: Things go the right way, I could be eating my

985
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 4: words in a couple of weeks exactly. Let's move to

986
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 4: number eight, and this is the draft question taking you

987
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 4: back a little bit of prospects, not even minor league

988
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 4: prospects have about college and high school baseball. Who is

989
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 4: your favorite pitcher in this year's draft? Asked by at

990
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 4: d C t O R P e Y doctor P

991
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 4: Right whatever sixteen on Twitter. Arm, who's your favorite pitcher

992
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 4: in this year's draft? Because I have mine? He's a

993
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 4: high school guy. I don't know if you have a

994
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 4: different college guy or maybe a differ.

995
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 6: High school Well, unfortunate that Lasco went down because I think,

996
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 6: you know, far and away the most talented ARM. Don't

997
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 6: Lesco's far and away the most talented ARM. I think

998
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 6: out of the whole draft class, he's still going to

999
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 6: go extremely early. My I even talk to my former

1000
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 6: coach in high school who coaches a summer team now

1001
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,479
Speaker 6: in South Florida, and they faced Lasco and he said

1002
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 6: he's talented of a you know, a high school arm

1003
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 6: as he seen, but yeah, like he is, he is incredible,

1004
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 6: and I'm.

1005
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 5: Very interested to see where he goes.

1006
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 6: I'd assume he's still We're seeing guys still go early,

1007
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 6: and we're seeing guys still get drafted, you know, off

1008
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 6: of the Tommy John.

1009
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 4: Everyone gets Tommy John.

1010
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like it's like a rite a pair of you. No,

1011
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 5: not at all, not at all. But Connor Jerpy of

1012
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,240
Speaker 5: Oregon State. I'm a fan of Connor Jerpy.

1013
00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 6: So he throws from this weird through like three quarters

1014
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 6: almost high high like side arm, left handed release point,

1015
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 6: similar to Chris Sale fastball in the low nineties. Discussing slider.

1016
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 6: If you're left to you don't have a chance. And

1017
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 6: then he's developing feel for the change up and so

1018
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 6: this change up fades away from righties. The slider is disgusting.

1019
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 6: He's over at Oregon State. He's really good. I think

1020
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:21,959
Speaker 6: people are going to see him more on a larger

1021
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 6: stage as we get further into the college baseball postseason.

1022
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 6: Connor Jerby could be a guy that flies up the

1023
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 6: boards very soon for this coming draft.

1024
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 4: Jurpy's another reason why I loved Oregon State. My player,

1025
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 4: My player is a high school pitcher. His name is

1026
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 4: Brock Porter, he's out of He's in the Michigan area.

1027
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,760
Speaker 4: He's like a six y four to two hundred pound righty,

1028
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 4: throws like ninety five to ninety seven miles an hour.

1029
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 4: I was actually I first got word of him through

1030
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 4: a mock draft that Ryan Miller road on Just Baseball

1031
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 4: dot com that mock draft two point zero is coming soon.

1032
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 4: But he was really high on Brockporter. And then I

1033
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 4: did some digging. I just of his stuff, Like I said,

1034
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 4: mid to high nineties fastball with some run too, and

1035
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 4: he throws from this over the top, really herky, jerky angle. Honestly,

1036
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 4: the mechanics make me think that there could be some

1037
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 4: injury concerns within his future.

1038
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 5: But if we're talking.

1039
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 4: About straight stuff projectability, this guy is long, lanky, and

1040
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 4: he already has two really good off speed pitches. Like

1041
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 4: all of his stuff is so freaking electric. And if

1042
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 4: they can tone down the mechanics a little bit, because

1043
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 4: it is kind of like you know, but it's it's

1044
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 4: over the top and the action is crazy. I'm a

1045
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 4: big believer in this guy. Brock Porter out of Michigan

1046
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 4: High School. I'm probably gonna go in the first round.

1047
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 6: So we've been trademarking Jack McMullan analytics, which, uh, this

1048
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 6: is the Jack McMullan analytics type thing. Brock Porter just

1049
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 6: sounds like a power arm, right like yeah, like that,

1050
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 6: that's a that's a Jack likes flip glasses as a

1051
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 6: reason to like old.

1052
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1053
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 6: Brock Porter sounds like a guy who just throws fuzz

1054
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 6: and will blow it by you. So the back analytics trademark,

1055
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 6: he checks that box.

1056
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 5: He has the dog in him, the dog in him.

1057
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,320
Speaker 4: Let's move on to our last question of the podcast,

1058
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 4: which is kind of hilarious and I had to do

1059
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 4: some digging. Are the Reds the worst team ever? Asked

1060
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 4: by out Lion dash Forrest on Twitter.

1061
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 8: Are a.

1062
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 4: The nineteen thirty two Red Sox started seven and thirty five,

1063
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 4: the nineteen fifty two Pirates started five and twenty eight,

1064
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 4: the nineteen eighty eight Orioles started oh in twenty One's

1065
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 4: cross their first twenty one games to start the nineteen

1066
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 4: eighty eight season, and the two thousand and three Tigers

1067
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 4: most recently started three and twenty five, and in two

1068
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 4: thousand and four they got the second pick of the

1069
00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 4: draft and selected Justin ver Worth It. So this is

1070
00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 4: not the worst team ever. But if you could gain

1071
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,439
Speaker 4: any positives from these Reds and what did they start

1072
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 4: the season out?

1073
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 5: What are they right now?

1074
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 4: Three and nineteen. I mean we're recording on Tuesday. They

1075
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 4: might be you know, they just got John Endia back though,

1076
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 4: don't worry.

1077
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 2: Is he back though?

1078
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 4: I saw he's on the ten day DL this morning.

1079
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 5: He's he back? Is he back? I don't know. I

1080
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 5: thought he was supposed to come back. Oh yeah, I

1081
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 5: think he's back. I think that's a team that I

1082
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 5: have just not gets sad. I know I haven't been following,

1083
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 5: but they're they're worth watching.

1084
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 6: Like I'll tune in when when Green's on the bump,

1085
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 6: when Dolo's on the bump. But you know, yeah, right now,

1086
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 6: it's it's rough. I did a dig into watching.

1087
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 4: Who am I watching on the I want to watch

1088
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 4: two players, those two guys, Those two guys, they're interesting

1089
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:45,919
Speaker 4: to watch.

1090
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 6: But a team that certifiably stunk, even though they had

1091
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,760
Speaker 6: some decent names on their team. The twenty thirteen Astros

1092
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 6: went fifty one and one eleven. This was their lineup,

1093
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 6: Jason Castro at catcher, Chris Carter, legend jose Al Tuove,

1094
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 6: but he was twenty three and he had a six

1095
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 6: seventy eight ops that year. Jonathan vr at twenty two

1096
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 6: years old, sixty ops.

1097
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 5: He was sitting fourth. Yeah, Matthew Dominguez, Matt Dominguez who

1098
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 5: was a form No, this can't be their lineup.

1099
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 4: This can't be the how they lined because Chris Carter

1100
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,280
Speaker 4: hit second in josel TV No, No, this is like players.

1101
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 4: I was like, this is the craziest constructed let up

1102
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 4: ever heard.

1103
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 6: But you know, you can mix and match all these guys.

1104
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 6: They're all seven under seven hundred ops. Except the highest

1105
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 6: ops of all these names I'm about to list for

1106
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 6: you is Jason castro So, who is the catcher.

1107
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 4: JD.

1108
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 6: Martinez at twenty five years old had a six fifty ops.

1109
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 6: Brandon Barnes had a six thirty five ops.

1110
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 5: LJ.

1111
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 6: Hose which is one of one of one of the

1112
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 6: coolest names is this jersey literally said hose.

1113
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 5: H o ees.

1114
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,720
Speaker 6: He was one of their better players, which is crazy.

1115
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 6: And Carlos Pany at thirty five years old, who just

1116
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 6: couldn't hit a lick. This is one of the worst

1117
00:50:58,520 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 6: teams ever assembled. And I do think that the Reds

1118
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,919
Speaker 6: can finish better than this. Their ace was a twenty

1119
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 6: five year old Dallas Kicele with a five one five

1120
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 6: e R a uh and or Bud Norris.

1121
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 5: With a three nine three R. He was their best attistics.

1122
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 4: Oh geez, Bud Norris was their best statistical He's one

1123
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 4: of the worst eye test pictures of all time. Bud

1124
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 4: Norris just eye tests like Dylan Bundy. I mean, Dylan

1125
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 4: Buddy isn't actually that bad. But just eye test guys,

1126
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 4: guys you'll want to eight on right now?

1127
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 5: Is my number one?

1128
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 4: Eye test sucks?

1129
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 5: Dude? Like and Bud Norris fell into that.

1130
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 6: He fails every test, I think every test. He went

1131
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 6: to cal Poly State University. Bud Norris did, where's San

1132
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 6: luis uh Abistpo?

1133
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 5: Callie boy, where's that? What did? What did you just

1134
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 5: try and pronounce son Luis Obispo?

1135
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 4: San Luis Obispo? Yeah, yeah, that's two hours north with me.

1136
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 4: That's not cal Poly slow, it's literally where.

1137
00:51:56,360 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 5: Sn louis obispo. That's a sound lous obispo. What we

1138
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 5: call it slow for short? Why am I forgetting?

1139
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 4: Uh? Oh? How could I forget brooks Lee? That's where

1140
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 4: Brookslee is right now?

1141
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 8: Oh?

1142
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 5: Well then so legends come out of there.

1143
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 4: Legends Spencer Howard, another.

1144
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 5: Legend, Spencer Howard. It was really good for Copas Slow.

1145
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 4: But just to wrap it up, give you some bright

1146
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 4: points on the Reds. We just talked about Tyler Malley.

1147
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 4: I am buying him in fantasy. We talked about that

1148
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 4: on not gambling advice. Tyler Malley has the worst ERA

1149
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 4: in baseball. At six point four or five is expected.

1150
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 4: Era A is two eight seven. Brighter days are ahead

1151
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 4: for Tyler Malley. We know m that Dallar Valley could

1152
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 4: not pitch at Great American Ballpark. Most of his starts

1153
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 4: this year have been at Great American Ballpark. There's a

1154
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 4: lot of things to look up to, you know. Come back,

1155
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 4: Castillo's come back, Lodolo Green is great. I mean, you

1156
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 4: got all these prospects too.

1157
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 5: They can't be.

1158
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 6: It's just they're good about Stevenson. Stevenson just came back.

1159
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 6: This team's not good, Don't get me wrong. They're probably

1160
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 6: one of the, if not the worst team in baseball.

1161
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 6: But they're not historically bad.

1162
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:58,520
Speaker 5: They're not historic.

1163
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 6: None of those teams are mad CEO. None of them

1164
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 6: had a Hunter Green, even a young one. None of

1165
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,560
Speaker 6: them had a young Nickelodolo, none of them had the

1166
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 6: defending Rookie of the Year and a good like this

1167
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 6: team isn't good, but they're not historically bad. So I

1168
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 6: guess the answer from us is no, they're not the

1169
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 6: worst team ever. Yay, they are not the worst team.

1170
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:18,759
Speaker 4: Other I thought it was crazy the nineteen eighty eight

1171
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 4: oil started oho to twenty one. Imagine you imagine after

1172
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:23,280
Speaker 4: the lockout.

1173
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 5: Imagine after the lockout.

1174
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 4: Just think about it. Just close your eyes for a

1175
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 4: second while you're listening to the end of this podcast.

1176
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 4: Your favorite team is finally back. Stupid owners opened the

1177
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 4: check book and you finally have baseball back, and your

1178
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 4: team loses the first twenty one game season.

1179
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 5: I know the Reds have only one, three or four,

1180
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 5: but all of them, all lot of them, not one win,

1181
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 5: not one.

1182
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 6: I at that point, I think I'd root for the

1183
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,279
Speaker 6: l every time, like just just for the meme, just

1184
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 6: because it's funny, and so that'll do it.
