Last 26 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: time we were on, we really only had the pool 27 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: in Japan going and then there have been a billion 28 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 1: games since then. So we're gonna start with Team USA here, 29 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: let's charge. Let's charge, and it's presented by Fox one. 30 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: That's the app where you can find all of the 31 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic games. 32 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 4: More info on that coming up. All right, AJ just 33 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 4: called the. 34 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: First two games for Team USA blowout wins, and I 35 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 1: want to spin it forward first, then tell me your experience, 36 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: but I want to get your thoughts on, like, okay, 37 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: now you saw it in my mind. They're warm ups. 38 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: Are they gonna crush Mexico or are they gonna lose 39 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: like last time? 40 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 5: I think they'll be fine. I think KP knows us 41 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 5: too as a player, especially early in camp, like they 42 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 5: got too warm, Like I mean, whoever made this schedule? 43 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 5: They they gave them the two warm up games kind 44 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 5: of first tipped your cap, then gave them an off day, 45 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 5: then set up their two supposedly hardest games in pool, 46 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 5: which is Mexico and Italy. Here's what I saw. Their 47 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 5: lineup is disgusting. I mean, let's get here. I mean 48 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 5: they had cal Rawlely hitting six. They had Byron Buckson 49 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 5: hitting eight, Bryce Sraang hitting ninth one game the first game, 50 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 5: and in the next game they kind of made some adjustments. 51 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 5: Pa hitting eight. I mean it's it's like, come on, guy, 52 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 5: Will Smith. I mean it was like, come on, like 53 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 5: this is this isn't fair. The only thing I worry 54 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 5: about with this team is not the names of the pitchers. 55 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 5: It's the work of the pitchers, right, because they're still 56 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 5: being built up. And the one thing Mark de Rosas said, 57 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 5: and I agree with this, is all his guys are 58 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 5: on affiliated teams, obviously in Big League teams, and ninety 59 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 5: nine percent of those guys have been All Stars. Are 60 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 5: really good. They're held more restrictions than the other teams. 61 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 5: So let's say they face a I don't know what 62 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 5: the restrictions are for let's say a japan right, but 63 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 5: they get the Japanese, the NPB guys and that whole thing. 64 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 5: They're not on the same restrictions. Like Mark Russa said, 65 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 5: certain guys can only pitch once and they need two 66 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 5: days off. Nobody can go back to back. If I 67 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 5: get somebody up, I have to bring them in. If 68 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 5: this guy has to pitch every other day, this guy 69 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 5: can only throw fifty pitches, this guy can throw sixty pitches. Right, 70 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 5: So it doesn't matter what the rules of the WBC. 71 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 5: They have to play by the rules of the MLB 72 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 5: teams and other teams don't have to do that. Like 73 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 5: I'll use Mexico as an example. They got some guys 74 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 5: that don't play in the big leagues pitchers wise, they 75 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 5: pitch in the Mexican League, they can pitch. They can 76 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 5: pitch the WBC limits, right, So say the limit is 77 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 5: ninety five or whatever in the Big league teams, like 78 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 5: we only want them throwing seventy. There is no limit 79 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 5: to that number. And so that's the only thing I 80 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 5: worry about is and that's why Kershaw's on this team 81 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 5: because he's the one guy that's not affiliated, so he 82 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 5: can kind of do whatever he wants. Is they get 83 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 5: caught somewhere when it gets to the quarterfinals Semis, because 84 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 5: it's like boom, boom, boom, it's really fast in a 85 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 5: row that they get caught with their pitching up lining up, 86 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 5: I know they're going to bring in some reinforcements. They're 87 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 5: going to bring in some new guys. Well scooball pitching in. 88 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 5: I mean it lines up for him where he could 89 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 5: pitch the final and he'd have another start, so he'd 90 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 5: be another built inning built up. Will he do it? 91 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 5: It'd be awesome if they make it. He does it. 92 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 5: I don't know. That's the only thing I worry about 93 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 5: that Their lineup is ridiculous. I mean, come on, Kae, like, 94 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 5: can you imagine being a guy from Great Britain. I 95 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 5: mean they brought in advance. The two guys who had 96 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 5: a lot of success honestly against the US team are 97 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 5: the guys who were throwing under hitting speed. As soon 98 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 5: as they bring in a guy like ninety three to 99 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 5: ninety nine, they whack, quack quack. It's the guy. It's 100 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 5: the forty year old guys that are throwing eighty two 101 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 5: that they can't hit because they've never seen it. 102 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think there's an ego thing too, 103 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: and rightfully so, because these are some of the best 104 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: players in our game. But does Mark Durosa as the 105 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 2: manager have the freedom to actually ride the hot bat 106 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 2: or the hot pitcher when it comes time to single elimination. Obviously, 107 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: right now, it kind of almost feels like it's like 108 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: the Fall League. You have your priority guys and then 109 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 2: you have your secondary guys, and I think guys probably 110 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 2: know going into it which one you are. 111 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 3: But when it comes time to trying to win. 112 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: A gold medal and you get out of this pool play, 113 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: does he have the freedom to put the guys he 114 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: feels like is the best option to win a game? 115 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 3: And that's the challenge the US always has to face. 116 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 3: And the same goes for like the bullpen. 117 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 2: If it's hard to justify as a Major league where 118 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: as a manager of Team USA, you have a right 119 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 2: handed bullpen guy in there and you have a lefty 120 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 2: coming up, but this is a team's best reliever. Does 121 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: he have the freedom to go out there and match 122 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 2: up left on left or right on right. 123 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 3: You know, when it's time to win a game. 124 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: All right, let's shout out seakeeek.

It would have been US Mexico 173 00:07:59,080 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 5: in the finals. 174 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know who had the go ahead hit in 175 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: that one against Mexico. It's your new boy. 176 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 5: COMI see, I thought he had to hit against the 177 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 5: USA too, didn't he in the left center field gap? 178 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 5: Or is that Mexico? 179 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 4: No? I think he might have had both. 180 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 5: Just study you watched the broadcast. There was white Sox 181 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 5: legend all over that field. But here's the thing with 182 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 5: kp to what you said. I mean, we got long 183 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 5: times with Mark Russa. We got talked to him for 184 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 5: a long time. And the biggest thing he has is 185 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 5: he's talked to these guys like he didn't want to 186 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 5: call a guy and say you're not gonna like Bobby 187 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 5: Whitt last time. He's like, you're not going to get 188 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 5: to play, but you'll be on the team. 189 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 4: Now. 190 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 5: Kershaw was fine with beause Kirshaw doesn't care. But the 191 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 5: rest of this guys. The biggest thing he kept saying 192 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 5: is I got to honor these guys. I gotta honor 193 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 5: him and I gotta get him at bat. 194 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 4: This time he has this time he's. 195 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 5: Saying, I gotta honor him. He's like, we picked this 196 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 5: team so that we could have interchangeable like gold Schmith, right, 197 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 5: he's probably the one guy that he's like, Okay, listen, Paul, 198 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 5: you're a little bit older. But he's also only a 199 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 5: first baseman. You might come in and get it, but 200 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 5: he hasn't gotten a back yet. He's the one guy 201 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 5: who hasn't gotten to start. He came in this thing 202 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 5: the second game to get Price off his feet, right. 203 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: But now all the games are going to be tough too. 204 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm saying, might get to that's 205 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: the whole tournament. 206 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 5: Exactly, That's the whole thing. So he said, he kept 207 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 5: saying that I got to honor these guys that got it. 208 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 5: I mean, because if you look who who do you 209 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 5: take out? And who doesn't deserve to play? Who gets 210 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 5: platooned like nobody, like he said, but he said, he said, 211 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 5: when the games get tougher, especially when they get to 212 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,079 Speaker 5: Miami with the bigger outfield, he's like PCA in the 213 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 5: end of the game we're winning, is in. He's like, 214 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 5: he's coming in wherever we put him left field. I mean, 215 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 5: they have Roman Anthony and left field. But he's like 216 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 5: maybe he's like PCA was taking fly balls and left 217 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 5: and right so he could get used to it. 218 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 4: Do you know what I just thought of? 219 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: Okay, So let's say it's late in the game and 220 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: they're playing a team that actually does have a good 221 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: lefty out of the bullpen, and Harper's up, Like, are 222 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: you going to bitch Harper for Goldie just because Goldie 223 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,679 Speaker 1: hits left as well? Like, that's what I'm saying, You're 224 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: really gonna go call Harper. 225 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 5: Out right, that's what Goldie knows though he knows right, 226 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 5: So Goldie's okay with that heart. I mean, this team 227 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 5: is ridiculous offensively, and if it was let's say it 228 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 5: with this was the middle of July, right right, KP 229 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 5: and you had schemes fully built schoobl Philly built Logan 230 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 5: Webb was disgusting the other night. After the leadoff homer, 231 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 5: so was Scooba after the leadoff homer. It's almost like 232 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 5: they were like, we're in spring training mode. Here's a heater, 233 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 5: Randy Ramirez, this kid hit the homer, and the kid 234 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 5: for Drey Britain hit the homer the first pitch that game. 235 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 5: He's the only guy who got to hit. Yeah, right, 236 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 5: So then after that they're like, oh, that's right, this 237 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 5: isn't spring training discounts and they were just like carve carve, carve, 238 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 5: carf car game over it was. It was crazy, like 239 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 5: the amount how they stepped up their game once they 240 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 5: gave up that home run. 241 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: Well, the thing for Mexico just to focus on this 242 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: game for a moment is last time around, they had 243 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: Patrick Sanderbal in their rotation, they had Julio Urias, remember 244 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: that name. I mean, he's probably gone forever game, but 245 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: he was really good. And then this time around there 246 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: were some names that could have been part of a 247 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: rotation that could have messed around. Taj Bradley, that's big 248 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: time stuff. I mean, I know he's had inconsistency, but 249 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: he dropped out late or Keatie dropped out late. That's 250 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,599 Speaker 1: a big league pitcher. Cody ponceays really good stuff. We 251 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: haven't seen him the the big since he's come back 252 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: here to pitch for the Blue Jays, but he withdrew. 253 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: So they just are missing a lot of their pitching talent. 254 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: And you can't keep going into the well if you're Mexico, like, oh, 255 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: let's go deeper down and find someone else. So that's 256 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: probably going to be the separator here, and why I 257 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: don't think the US is going to have a problem 258 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: this time around, because Mexico, I think, has beat him 259 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: three times in a row. 260 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 5: I want to say it is. 261 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 4: Their offense is their offense is good. They've got guys. 262 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 5: And by the way, is going to be electric Mexico 263 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 5: fans in my mind, Houston. It was. First of all, 264 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 5: let me say this, the first game Brazil was kind 265 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 5: of like an atmosphere. 266 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 4: Yeah. 267 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,599 Speaker 5: The next game against Great Britain, the second game we 268 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 5: did Saturday night was unbelievable. There was everyone was dressed 269 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 5: up in their USA stuff and then the Brits were 270 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 5: dressed up and they're like the guy with the I 271 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 5: showed the guy with the lion and he had the 272 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 5: British like flag painted on his face, but he was 273 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 5: like the lion and he had like a Briton flat. 274 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 5: It was humble. It was super cool. Statues of Liberty people. 275 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 5: Everyone was dressed up like former present. The guy had 276 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 5: the shirt on that said Britain blue. A thirteen colony 277 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 5: lead was great. I mean, there was so many funny 278 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 5: things that were going and and I tweeted this out, KP, 279 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 5: have you ever been to a Blackhawks game? No, I haven't, okay, 280 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 5: So when they do the anthem at the Blackhawks game, 281 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 5: everyone stands and sings it at the top of their voice. 282 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 5: It's it's one of the coolest things as a fan 283 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 5: to experience. They did they actually sang the national anthem 284 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 5: as the fans when whoever African who was sanging it, 285 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 5: but whoever sang it sang it, and the whole crowd 286 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 5: and we have you know, you know, when you do 287 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 5: a game, you stop, right. So they did God Save 288 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 5: the Queen first, and it was just instrumental, and it 289 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 5: was like and it was over, like in like it 290 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 5: seemed like twenty seconds. It was over, and you know, 291 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 5: the little they got, the little cheer, and then they 292 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 5: did the Star Spangled banner and the whole crowd saying it, 293 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 5: and it was like, whoa, people are actually really into this. 294 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 5: Although I will say I have to admit this, and 295 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 5: I as an American, I hate to say this, God Save 296 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 5: the Queen is kind of a better anthem than ours, 297 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 5: just because. 298 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 4: A lot of people love the Canadian. 299 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 5: And the Canadian anthem also is better.

I think 326 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 4: this quote stood out. 327 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: There are people that make real sacrifices for me to 328 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: go out and play a kid's game. That was a 329 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: Schooble quote. Right, He's got a lot on his plate. 330 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: Free agent year. He could be the highest paid starting 331 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: pitcher ever, four hundred million dollar guy maybe whatever it is. 332 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: Tiger's invested in fran Brabaldez and this could be their 333 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: last big shot and he's probably gonna leave after that. 334 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: There's also a scheduling issue, which I can get into 335 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: in a moment. Ken Rosenthald documented it really well, where 336 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: if he pitches in the title game, it puts in 337 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: kind of a weird spot where he'd probably have to 338 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: go eight days without a real start in spring training. Anyway, 339 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: thoughts first on what he's going through and what would 340 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: you do if you're him? 341 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 2: Oh Man, I wish I was in his position, But 342 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 2: I think it also speaks to where he has come 343 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 2: from in his own individual journey to getting to the 344 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 2: big leagues. You know a lot of these players were 345 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: fortunate enough, maybe at a young age, to wear the 346 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: USA uniform, you know, coming up and playing in the 347 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: Pan Am Games or Junior qualifiers, Trek Scouble probably never 348 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 2: thought he would be in this position to pitch for 349 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: Team USA, and he's arguably the best pitcher in our sport, 350 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 2: and it's it's probably really hard to imagine what those 351 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: feelings are going to be like when you put the 352 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 2: USA across your chest, when you get into that clubhouse, 353 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 2: you're surrounded by the best American players in the game, 354 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 2: and then you go out and experience the WBC and 355 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 2: I've been locked in as a fan, and I'm very 356 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 2: envious that I, you know, never got a chance to 357 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: go to that tournament and play in it. 358 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,479 Speaker 3: But he's in a really. 359 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 2: Tough situation because it just shows how much of a 360 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 2: competitor he is, and you think about all the things 361 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 2: he has to look forward to starting another opening day, 362 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: potentially being the highest paid player pitcher, you know, in 363 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 2: our sport a year from now. Those emotions and those 364 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 2: feelings are real when he stepped on that mound, and 365 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: he's in a really tough situation. I know the Tigers 366 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: are in a tough situation, but when you hear him 367 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 2: talking about it, and I'm sure, there's a lot of 368 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 2: things that happened behind closed doors that maybe we don't 369 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 2: know as fans. Maybe they are bringing in former military 370 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 2: or current military members, and they kind of talk about 371 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 2: what it means for these guys to represent them, you know, 372 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 2: and going out and trying to win a gold medal, 373 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 2: and it's really hard to fight those feelings. But if 374 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 2: I'm him, I think you've got to know yourself better 375 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: than anyone else at this point, and if he feels 376 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 2: like it's the right decision not just to represent his country, 377 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: but the right decision for himself to go out and 378 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: pitch in this competitive environment, at this point in time, 379 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 2: he knows how it's on fels, he knows how his 380 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: body feels, he knows how to prepare himself for the 381 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 2: regular season. I really hope that he's able to go 382 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 2: out there and pitch one more time and he feels 383 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 2: comfortable doing it. 384 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: We love Hello Fresh, shout out to them, and over 385 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: one hundred recipes to choose from each week to provide variety. 386 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: There the spice of life.

I don't 407 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: know if they've really strongly publicly said did say he? 408 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 5: But so I think I don't think Scott Morris is 409 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know this but I can't imagine 410 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 5: he's super happy about him going out there. 411 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 4: There's no web. Do you know? Can I go over 412 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 4: the schedule part just for a moment. This from Ken's article. 413 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 5: Yeah you know they well they we uh Derossa explained 414 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 5: it to us. Okay, So then so he said, if 415 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 5: you look at when he pitched, the next one will 416 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 5: be he pitched on the seventh, okay, which yeah, today's 417 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 5: the ninth, right, so we pitched Saturday, the seventh. His 418 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 5: next he could pitch the twelfth, which. 419 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,679 Speaker 4: Is his normal rest in spring. 420 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 5: In spring training, and then he could come back for 421 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 5: the seventeenth, which would be the finals. The problem is 422 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 5: then that puts him online for nine days until opening. 423 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 4: Day, right, That's what I was saying, eight days, nine days, 424 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 4: whatever it is. 425 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 5: And then but then Wayne and then Wayno explained it perfectly. 426 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 5: He's like he could still do it. He just go 427 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 5: and throw like a light one in between. But do 428 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 5: the Tigers want him to do that? 429 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 4: That? 430 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 5: See? That to me is the real question is will 431 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 5: the Tigers want him to do that? And listen, he 432 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 5: first and foremost when he took the mound and everyone's 433 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 5: standing USA, he walked out like we walked out to 434 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 5: the bullpen. Everyone was cheering for him, and he got 435 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 5: a USA chant and then he stood on the mound 436 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 5: and everyone's standing the USA. That hits you no matter 437 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 5: what you say, no matter what you say, this means 438 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 5: that hits you differently. So then I think you see 439 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 5: his quotes changed. Before the game is like one and done, 440 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 5: and then after the game he's like, well, I don't know, 441 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 5: like that was really cool. I'd kind of maybe I 442 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 5: want to do that again. 443 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 3: And then anyways, AJ, you would know better than me. 444 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 2: But I mean, how difficult is that for a starting pitcher, 445 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 2: especially early in the year. I mean once you almost 446 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 2: feel like the couple extra days would kind of benefit 447 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 2: him going in opening day. I know pictures are a 448 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 2: creature of habit, but this scenario maybe not on nine days, 449 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 2: but there are times throughout the year where there's an 450 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 2: off day thrown in there, there's a raino. 451 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 3: Guys get pushed all the time. 452 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: I mean, it feels like if there was ever a 453 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 2: time for him to have the extended period of rest, 454 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 2: to be able to go into a controlled environment in 455 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 2: spring training on a backfield against maybe his own hitters 456 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 2: and you know, throw a three inning sim game. I 457 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 2: feel like it's the perfect kind of scenario for him 458 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 2: to kind of do this. 459 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 5: I agree, And that's exactly what Adam wayn Wright said 460 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 5: the other nine on Fox when we were talking about 461 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 5: this is he said, a lot of times, as you 462 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 5: know this two kp the starters, the big starters, the 463 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 5: last start of spring is only like a couple innings, 464 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 5: and a lot of times they do it on the 465 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 5: backfield and they say, hey, you're gonna throw fifty pitches, 466 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 5: three up downs, You're gonna go out fifteen no matter 467 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 5: how how those fifteen go sit boom, come back out, 468 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 5: or you're fifteen, sit, come back out, or you're fifteen. 469 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 5: They don't just go out there and throw a hundred pit. Now, 470 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 5: some guys do the usually the younger guys, but not 471 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 5: the veteran guys. They already know their body and they're 472 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 5: ready to go. So could he do it one hundred percent? Now? 473 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 5: Will the Tigers let him do it? That's the bigger question. 474 00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 4: Look at the workload too. 475 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he went about two hundred and sixteen I 476 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: think with the number innings last year, if you include 477 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: the playoffs, is the guy who. 478 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 5: In the year before too. 479 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: Also pitched it's on the year before and in the 480 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: past has had injuries. He's had his Tommy John already, right, Like, 481 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: he's gone through a lot to get to this point. 482 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: It wasn't like schemes is a little different. You're like, 483 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,239 Speaker 1: I mean, this is perfection. This dude was shining by 484 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: the time he got to LSU, and then he's had 485 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: no blips in the majors schools in his free agent year. 486 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: If something goes wrong in the beginning of the year, 487 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: everyone's going to play to this. 488 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 5: I know. 489 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 4: It's just how it works. 490 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 5: That's why I don't think he's going to do it. 491 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 5: As much as it would be awesome if he did, 492 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 5: I don't think he's going to do it. I think 493 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 5: he'll go back because he was still in Houston last 494 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 5: I don't know if he's finally back in Lakeland. But 495 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 5: as soon as he gets back to Lakeland, the travel 496 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 5: guy for USA and the travel guy for the Tigers 497 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 5: is going to say you know what, he's going to say, Ah, sorry, 498 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 5: we can't get you a flight to Miami. And no, 499 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 5: there's no rental cars and there's no gas in the 500 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 5: state of Florida that you can drive they're out of 501 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 5: private jets, they're out of everything. Wow, you're just stuck 502 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 5: in Lakeland. If you need a ride, call me, I'll 503 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 5: drive you down. 504 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 3: Is it public knowledge? Is it public knowledge? 505 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 2: Or do you guys know who those like reserve pictures 506 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 2: are that would potentially take his place. 507 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 5: Joe Ryan is one uh and he and he. 508 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 3: Had the back thing. 509 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 4: So it's mostly bullpen guys, but Joe. 510 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 5: Ryan is the main starter. Matt Strom there's another pretty 511 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 5: big name. And Dort listen, I'll give duros A credit. 512 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 5: Mand Arboro is on the team now though he's not 513 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 5: a reserve. He was there, he was in Houston, Yarborough. 514 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, he is on the team. 515 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 5: I'll say this. I know we got a break here 516 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 5: in a second, but Derossa listen, like love hate whatever 517 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 5: it is with Durosa, I'll say this. He's really thought 518 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 5: about this since the last one they lost in twenty three, 519 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 5: and he's like, we want split neutral guys that can 520 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 5: get righty's and lefties out. We want guys who maybe 521 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 5: he can go more than one inning, although we don't 522 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 5: want to have to use them more than one inning. 523 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 5: He's like, we want guys like Ernie Clement. The reason 524 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 5: Ernie Clement's on this team is because he can play 525 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 5: any position, so it frees up some other stuff. I mean, 526 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 5: he's really thought about this. He's like, we talked about 527 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 5: moving Bragman a second so we could play Gunner at third, 528 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 5: but then we have Bryce Raang who's a stud. So 529 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 5: he's listen, he's thought about I mean, they've this wasn't 530 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 5: like just throw together a roster. I mean, he's really 531 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 5: dug into this, and he only wanted people that wanted 532 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 5: to be there. He didn't want to have to call 533 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 5: him bag anybody. Everyone that's on this team kind of 534 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 5: wanted to almost ask to be on the team. So 535 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 5: they've thought about this a lot. It's not just thrown together. 536 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: Now, the US lost last time and it's like why, 537 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: I mean the US is only one once, right, yeah, 538 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: in the tournament's history, and they're like, why why is 539 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: the US not more competitive than this? And they're trying 540 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: to change that. So the drama continues this evening. To me, 541 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 1: this is where we've gotten through the warm up phase 542 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: for Team USA. So let's show the schedule, USA going 543 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: up against Mexico, then No Evidaly, and then we'll go 544 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 1: from there to show you what's happening. But there are 545 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: other games going on this evening too. We're gonna talk 546 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: more about the WBC in general.

We 559 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: talked Team USA and now let's get into everything else, 560 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: and yes, you can catch all the action on Fox one. 561 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: Japan is the first team that knew that they were 562 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: going to advance and head over to the States and 563 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: playing the quarters. Korea also now advancing. That was the 564 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: fresh one where it was actually really. 565 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 5: The run differential. They had to win by five runs 566 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 5: and they did win by five runs. Australia just needed 567 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 5: to score a run like in the bottom of the ninth. 568 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 5: Thing is crazy. That's crazy. 569 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 4: It is crazy, but it's awesome. 570 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 5: But I can't wait. I'm excited. I told you on 571 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 5: Fox You've got it. Saturday. I get Japan for the 572 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 5: quarterfinals no matter what. So that place is going to 573 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 5: be crazy. Whoever they I mean, it lines up Dominican 574 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 5: or Venezuela more than likely, So it's going to be awesome. 575 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 4: There's Yoshida who's had a big series or a big tournament. 576 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 4: Cool picture so far, it is a very cool picture. 577 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, Japan won it last time around. I mean that 578 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: lineup is really good. They actually had a tough test. 579 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: They only beat Australia by a run. 580 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 4: Yeahs hung around with them for a minute. But I 581 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 4: feel like they're going to be able to win. 582 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 5: It's I used this analogy the other day for some 583 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 5: of these teams and KP tell me what you think. 584 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 5: It's like a college football team. It's a top ten 585 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,640 Speaker 5: team named whatever one you want to name, playing a 586 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 5: Samford or a Mercer or a mid major ish team. Right. Yeah, 587 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 5: they can score on the opening touchdown, opening drive because 588 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 5: they scheme up some funky plays that you know, the 589 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 5: big team hasn't really focused on. But then over the 590 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 5: time the depth just wears them down. And that's what 591 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 5: happens when you get into some of these bullpens. They 592 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 5: just don't have the depth of the Basically, it's about 593 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 5: big five teams. I would say US, Japan, Korea, Dominican, Venezuela, 594 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 5: and maybe Mexico Ish or the Big Six maybe, because 595 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 5: even even if you look at Puerto Rico, they don't 596 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 5: have the pitching depth that a lot of the other 597 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,399 Speaker 5: teams have. So eventually just they just get to them 598 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 5: and they were and then they walk a couple guys, 599 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 5: they get to some younger guys and then boom, someone 600 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 5: hits a home run in the game's over. It's a 601 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 5: It's a great tournament. I love it. It's so fun 602 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 5: for the fans. But I wish some of the teams 603 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 5: are other teams were better. It would be even more fun. Well, 604 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:45,920 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't. 605 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 3: I don't think they can. 606 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 2: I don't think they can loosen the rules anymore in 607 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 2: terms of no, I know, I'm not no, I'm saying 608 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 2: that for the teams you qualify for. So I think 609 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 2: players have the ability to play for multiple different countries 610 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 2: now as you've seen multiples that played for multiple countries, 611 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 2: so you know the you know, baseball is just not 612 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 2: the same in every country we go to. But I 613 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 2: do love your analogy with you know, a top ten 614 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 2: team playing a mid major. That's kind of why this 615 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,719 Speaker 2: tournament plays out early in the year. I do think 616 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 2: you see the occasional upset because a lot of these 617 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 2: teams will play down to their competition a little bit. 618 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 2: But I think this we're getting to the point, especially 619 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 2: with the USA game today, where you know, they knew 620 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 2: eventually they could just turn it on and beat the 621 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 2: first two teams they play. You play down to your 622 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 2: competition a little bit. Your you're fresh out of spring training, 623 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 2: your timing's not quite there. You do face the unique 624 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 2: guy who is actually throwing under the comfortable hitting speed. 625 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 2: For a lot of these guys, it works for a 626 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 2: little bit of time, but eventually the good teams, the 627 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 2: great teams, are going to wear down these smaller teams 628 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 2: that just don't have the depth. But this is where 629 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,959 Speaker 2: the tournament gets really exciting. The players have more at 630 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 2: bats under their belt, pitchers have more innings. Log everything 631 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 2: starts to sharpen a little bit and the competition turns 632 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: up a little bit and you start to see a 633 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 2: team like USA play up to their competition with a 634 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 2: team in Mexico today, and I think it can end 635 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 2: up being a very one sided game. I think you 636 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 2: knew Japan was going to be there. I think you 637 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 2: knew Korea was going to be there. It's a shame 638 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 2: with some of the insurance things and the health things 639 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 2: that happened to some of the Puerto Rican players too, 640 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 2: because you could put them in that category of a 641 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 2: team that you expect to kind of be in that 642 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,399 Speaker 2: second round of this tournament. But it's really gonna come 643 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 2: down about four or five teams. They have enough depth 644 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 2: to kind of withstand. You know, the way this tournament 645 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 2: is set up, how. 646 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: Much circling in the lineup and avoiding should teams do 647 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: with Otani? 648 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 4: There are other good names in that lineup. 649 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 5: I tell who wouldn't be wouldn't be Poland? Team Poland, 650 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 5: would not be Tani. 651 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: It's never gonna happen, or at least not right now. 652 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: I mean I don't say never, not never, but well, 653 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: I'll tell you. 654 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 5: What team's never going to be in a Team New Jersey. 655 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 5: So let's not poll in the country, so you're not. 656 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: Taking a shot at me. I identify with many different states. 657 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 5: Okay, I like to touching that one, but I like Florida. 658 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 5: Who do you pitch around that? That's the problem with 659 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 5: some of these lineups like USA, Who do you pitch around? Japan? 660 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 5: Who do you pitch around? Dominican? Who do you pitch around? Venezuela? 661 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 5: Who do you pitch around? Mexico's lineup? Who do you 662 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 5: pitch around? For? 663 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 4: Meo Tani? For Japan? 664 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 5: I mean, you just don't let Otani be So he 665 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 5: walks and he's still second, and then the next guy 666 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 5: bunts him over and then the guy gets STACKI fired 667 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 5: at one oven. 668 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: Sometimes do you disagree because there's five or six other 669 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: names that you feel good about. 670 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 5: So, but like, I mean, the thing is, they have 671 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 5: a lot of lefties, so if you could have a 672 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 5: nasty lefty. That's why scooball makes so much sense in 673 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 5: the finals, because they have so many lefties that you 674 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 5: can if you can neutralize them with a lefty, because 675 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 5: they have a ton of left handed hitters in that lineup, 676 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 5: not the school. I mean, he's split neutral because the changeup. 677 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 4: But anyways, but still yeah, it would help. 678 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 5: So Mark, I know New Jersey is not a country, 679 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 5: so don't say the Polish guy thinks New Jersey is 680 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 5: a country. Okay, so well you have to me come on, 681 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 5: you think I don't know you guys wish you guys 682 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 5: wish New Jersey was a country, and it would really 683 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 5: don't and we would make you guys secede from the 684 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 5: Union if. 685 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 4: It was a country. Of that. I love my country, 686 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 4: I love Usa. 687 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: But anyway, the last point I wanted to make was, yes, 688 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: we didn't see any upsets yet, but I mean Japan 689 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: is a good example. Like we were very close there 690 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: for to three win for Team Japan, and then, like 691 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: you mentioned at the top of this segment, Korea almost 692 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: didn't advance. Not only did they have to beat Australia, 693 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: they had to beat them by five runs. They won 694 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: by five runs with a sackfly in the top of 695 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: the ninth inning. Otherwise they would have beaten Australia six' 696 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: two and gotten knocked. 697 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 4: Out that's just the way it. 698 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: Is you're not playing that many games and if everybody 699 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: has the same number of, losses, Right japan was, good 700 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: but then you Had Korea australia And chinese. Typeey Since 701 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: chinese typey, UPSET i guess. 702 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 4: That was the upset you. 703 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 5: Mentioned it's been like the one upset that's the biggest, 704 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 5: upset the biggest game of this whole. Tournament and you 705 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 5: guys will laugh WHEN i say this is tomorrow or 706 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 5: it might Be, no it might be. Today brazil Versus Great. 707 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 5: Britain the winner doesn't have to qualify for the NEXT, 708 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 5: Wbc so as long as you don't finish last like, 709 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 5: check they're. Out so they have to. Qualify they're gonna 710 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 5: lose The poland in the next. Qualifier hopefully If poland, 711 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 5: can we can figure out how to Get poland in the. 712 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:34,719 Speaker 5: Qualifiers But Brazil, BRITAIN i think it's today at one 713 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 5: o'clock On fox. One the winner doesn't have to. Requalify 714 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 5: they're in the NEXT. Wbc so that even though it's, 715 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 5: like why would anyton want to watch that, game it 716 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 5: means a lot to those. 717 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 2: Teams, hey do you guys consider these home, runs these 718 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 2: walkoffs that create the mercy? 719 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 3: Rule are they considered? Walkoffs? 720 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 5: SEE i said no on the on the broadcast when 721 00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 5: who was A soto hit? One the other, NIGHT i 722 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 5: asked that, question and but Then waino And ADAM i 723 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 5: mean said, yes because it's technically a walk, off. 724 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 4: It ends the, game but it's not. 725 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 5: Really but it's not really it's like a mercy home 726 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 5: or you should call it like the mercy. Homer but 727 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 5: In Red cross, homers. 728 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 4: It wins you the game. THEORETICALLY i, mean if they 729 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 4: were already gonna win the, game. 730 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: Theoretically it's, over, well then it could be a runoff for, 731 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: walkoff but the game is not, Over like you could 732 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: be up nine runs and some team could come back 733 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: from nine runs in the ninth. 734 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 4: Inning is it? 735 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: Likely, No but the point is if you're up ten 736 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: runs through, seven the game is actually. Over so you 737 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: did walk it, off you you won the. 738 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 5: GAME i. Disagree what do you, THINK? KP i don't. 739 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 2: Know If i'd be celebrating LIKE i hit a walkoff, 740 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 2: HOMER i. MAY i would probably feel good that the 741 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 2: game's over and we knew we were going to win the. 742 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 2: Game but you, know when you're up nine runs in 743 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 2: the fifth or sixth, inning you know you're you're pretty 744 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 2: certain your team's gonna. Win BUT i, mean, hey everyone's 745 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 2: got a different. STYLE i mean the guys enjoy hitting 746 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 2: these walk off homers as the home team in the seventh, 747 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 2: inning go enjoy? 748 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 3: Him. 749 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 5: Yep and by the, way should they here's a question for, you. 750 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 5: Gus should they implement the run roll in the regular 751 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 5: season Of Major League baseball ten after seven so you 752 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 5: don't have to see a position player? 753 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 4: PITCH i don't think. SO i don't. KNOW i got 754 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 4: to think more about. It why do you THINK i. 755 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 5: Don't i'm just going out. 756 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 3: THERE i say, YES i say. YES i think. 757 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 5: Then guys on the bench don't get a bat. 758 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 4: SOMETIMES i, MEAN i don't not worry about. That but 759 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 4: does happen enough that it? MATTERS i, GUESS i guess it. 760 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: Does the thing is you still see position players if 761 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: it's a seven run, game you, know in the. 762 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 4: Ninth so what's the, line? 763 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 3: THOUGH i think you should just be able to waive 764 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 3: the white. 765 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 2: FLAG i, mean if you're going to go down that 766 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 2: route of you, know not using a guy to your, 767 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 2: bullpen you're you're clearly sending a message to the other 768 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 2: team that we don't believe we can win this. Game 769 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 2: And i'm gonna save my pitchers for. Tomorrow so let's 770 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 2: allow everyone to get off the field and. 771 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 3: Get home a little bit. 772 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 2: Earlier And i'm all for it because as offensive player, 773 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 2: too it's such a lose lose situation when you go 774 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 2: up to home plate and you have to face a position, 775 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 2: player you get a, hit you're supposed, to you hit 776 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 2: a home. Run, yes ultimately it counts on your. Statistics 777 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 2: does it feel the same way at the end of 778 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 2: the year when you go into harbor free? Agency it 779 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 2: counts just as everyone you, know all the other. Ones 780 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 2: BUT i think at some, point you, know when a 781 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,480 Speaker 2: position player comes out of the bullpen or the dugout to, 782 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 2: pitch it's no longer a good look for the. GAME 783 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,319 Speaker 2: i don't think the people that come to a game 784 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 2: and watch this really enjoy.
