00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: on Major League Baseball. Now here's Baseball Hall of Fame

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: voter number eight six, Rob Parker. Welcome into the show today.

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Rob Parker. What a podcast we have

7
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: planned for you. Andrew Jones, the five time All Star

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: and ten time Gold Glub winner. He will join us. Also,

9
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: Preston Wilson, who won a World Series with the Cardinals,

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: does TV and radio work, will chat with him. Plus

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: Phil Sanchez's Diamond Dust. Let's go to lead off. It's

12
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: getting robbed and keep him on. Rob's hot take on

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: the three biggest stories in Major League Baseball. Number one,

14
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: stop the presses. You mean it's not automatic that the

15
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: Dodgers are gonna win the National League West. They've won

16
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: the previous seven National League West titles. And now there's

17
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: the team from the South down in San Diego, the Padres,

18
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: who are scorching hot as of Monday, beating the Dodgers

19
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: and on an eight game winning streak. And you know

20
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: what the Padres have already assured themselves of their first

21
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: winning season in ten years, and soon they'll lock up

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: their first trip to the playoffs since. So a lot

23
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: has happened. Signing Manny Machado a year ago, people scoffed

24
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: at it. Fernando Tattoos Jr. Has blossomed into a big star.

25
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: They picked up Mike Clevinger from the Indians. He pitched

26
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: a shutout in his first start for the Padres. This

27
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: team is for real, and uh, I don't know if

28
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: it's just about winning the NL West or if they

29
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: do not have a shot to maybe even win the

30
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: World Series or get to the World Series in the

31
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: sixty games shortened season. What a fun team to watch.

32
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 1: You hear those footsteps? Those are the San Diego Padres.

33
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: Number two, Albert pool Holts has done it. On Sunday,

34
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: he tied Willie Mays with six hundred and sixty major

35
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: league home runs, yes, tying in for fifth place on

36
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: baseball's all time home run list. Only four players in

37
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball history of now hit more home runs

38
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: in Albert pool Hosts. What a career he has had,

39
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: first with the St. Louis Cardinals and now with the Angels.

40
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: Of Anaheim, and think about this. His twenty year career

41
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: includes reaching three thousand hits and ten He recently also

42
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: passed a Rod and became second on the all time

43
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: RBI list, and pool Hols also passed Craig Bigo for

44
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: five on the all times doubles list with six hundred

45
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: and sixty nine and he is the only player to

46
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: ever joined the six hundred and fifty home run and

47
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: six hundred and fifty doubles club. What an unbelievable career

48
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: for Albert pool Hols. I know a lot of people

49
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: of pooh pooed him since he went to Anaheim and

50
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: the winning has stopped, and maybe he doesn't hit for

51
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: the average that he used to when he was in St. Louis,

52
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: But what a magnificent career that Albert Poohls has had.

53
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: You're witnessing one of the greatest players in baseball history.

54
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: Number three. Major League Baseball has announced this postseason schedule,

55
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: and you know what, it's highlighted by the first neutral

56
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: site fall Classic in modern history. That's right. Major League

57
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: Baseball will play the World Series in Arlington at the

58
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: New Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers. That

59
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: open that stadium this year, unfortunately with no fans. Game

60
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: one of the World Series UH starts Tuesday October in Arlington,

61
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: and uh wow to think that that's where we are.

62
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: We know that there's a new playoff for format. Uh.

63
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: The wild Cards get started with the best of three,

64
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: the division series are best of five, and of course

65
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: best of seven in the league championship series and the

66
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: World Series. Uh so that'll be very very interesting. And

67
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: uh the other part is uh the new format of

68
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: course has the eight teams in each league making the playoffs.

69
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: So that will be the first time sixteen of the

70
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: thirty teams will make the Major League Baseball playoffs. But

71
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: this will definitely be interesting to see the World Series

72
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 1: played on one field, one bubble, if you will, uh

73
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: in Arlington come October. Yes, October baseball is the best.

74
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: This is just a twist that we've never seen. But

75
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: then again, this is when Rob was a newspaper columnist.

76
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: He lived by this motto, if I'm writing, I'm ripping.

77
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: Let's bring in a writer, a broadcaster, older new all right,

78
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: let's welcome into the podcast a guy who could track

79
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: it down in the outfield. Atlanta Braves Hall of famer

80
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: Andrew Jones. Welcome to the podcast, Andrew. How you doing

81
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: Doing Great? Andrew is brought to you here today by

82
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Prize Picks. Will get into that and a little bit,

83
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: but first, Andrew, Yes, I would like to talk about

84
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: your Atlanta Braves, who currently in first place in the

85
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: n l E's. They got a good, young, exciting team.

86
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: Ronald Lacon, your junior Freddy Freeman. I love that team.

87
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: Do you like that team? I love the team and

88
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: actually I still worked for them, so um yeah, I

89
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: mean they're excited. They they you know, too bad right now.

90
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: We're as probably good, probably too good arms. But you know,

91
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: this year is one of those years that we just

92
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen. You know a lot

93
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: of people want, you know, you know, if you're a

94
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: big fan, you wanted to go out there and find

95
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: a piece to get to the championship. But it's hard

96
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: to you know, let some good prospects go right now

97
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: for such a short period of the time. So I

98
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: think they just have to kind of block it together

99
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: and and and make you know, make whatever you have

100
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: worked and hopefully it clicked right in the right time

101
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,559
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and you know, you end up winning

102
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: the World Series. Last year was disappointing. The Brids had

103
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: a great season and then they got knocked out in

104
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So young team, when guys able to seem

105
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: like they were able to bounce back though you know

106
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: that it wasn't the end of the world because they're

107
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: right back in first place this year. Well, I think

108
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: what kind of was You know, it hurt a little

109
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: bit because the way they went down with the Cardinals, um,

110
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: but they know they were better than that and they

111
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: know that they you know, they got a great team.

112
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: So when we came into spring training, every you know,

113
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: while we were talking about is let's bounce back and

114
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: and have a great season and get back to the playoffs,

115
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: and we know what we need to do to carry

116
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: it on to the to the Wall Series. Our guests

117
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: is Andrew Jones. Jesse won ten Gold Gloves, five time

118
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: All Star, played with the Braves, of course, Dodgers, Rangers,

119
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: White Sox, Yankees, even in Japan. What do you make

120
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: of this short season? You know, sixty games, it's unbelievable, Andrew,

121
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: we got less than two weeks to play and the

122
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: baseball season is gonna be over. We'll start the playoffs.

123
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: How do you think it's gone so far with no

124
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: fans and and playing like every day almost be honest

125
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: with you, I will just talk about it, uh, yesterday

126
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: with a body and I just say, we only got

127
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: loving games to the playoffs starts. So, um, it's weird,

128
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's very weird. Um. You know, I'm trying

129
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: to keep up with them to a TV sometimes, but

130
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: it's weird that you cannot go there and and and

131
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: support your team and watch the game. So um, you know,

132
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: sixty games. Like I said, sameything is so soft with this,

133
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: you know, with this whole Corona buyas pandemic thing. Um,

134
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: you know, they work something out to play baseball. So

135
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: I'm happy that they came home to agreement to let

136
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: those guys go out there and and and and play

137
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: play the game that they love, that they that they

138
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: you know, and that the fans love to see them play.

139
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: So um, it's tough, but I'm happy that they you know,

140
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: they got got games going. So like I said, it's

141
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: it's it's such a short season. We don't know what

142
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: can happen. You can see a lot of teams that

143
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: that's gonna make the playoffs. That people didn't think that

144
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: they were going to be close to make the playoffs. So, um,

145
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: this is this is this is a weird change. But

146
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: I think it's really good for those teams that are

147
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: small market then that it is getting an opportunity to

148
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: be in the playoffs. This this whole season, no doubt,

149
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: it looks like the Marlins got a shot to be

150
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I don't think most people thought about that.

151
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: One thing that's different coming up that was announced Andrew

152
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: is that there will be no days off for players

153
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: because there's no travel. Everybody's going to be in the

154
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: same spot. So what do you make of that? Just

155
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: to play every day at least to the first three rounds.

156
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: There will be days off for the World Series, but

157
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: not for the first three rounds. You think that's a

158
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: good idea of baseball just every day. Um. I know

159
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: for the bassom seven um in the in the and

160
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: n LS or the LS, I think you know best

161
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: of seven is off to go with our day off.

162
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: But I think the first two ones are very premanaged

163
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: Wall because like you say, it's no travel, um, people

164
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: people can handle them. Be there and it's played the

165
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: game and and move on. I think the last day

166
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: off you have the better you can. You know, you

167
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: can manage it because you cannot lay lay your head

168
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: down on the on the next day. You're just gonna

169
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: keep moving on, you know. You know. It's like like

170
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: we always say, the team that stay hot in the

171
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: playoff is the one that's going to carry on and

172
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: go all the way to the World Series. In the

173
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: National League, I just want to ask you the Dodgers,

174
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: Padres Braves. There's some really good teams, all right. Tell

175
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: me about prize picks, which which is basically what a

176
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: single game. Uh, and you can bet whether a player

177
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: will go over under their projected stats. That sounds like

178
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. And it doesn't take that long to play,

179
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: two or five minutes to play. Uh, tell me tell

180
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: me about it. Well, I mean I've been when prices

181
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: uh two thousand nineteen. UM, I got involved with them.

182
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: UM we part them up. We you know, I'm part

183
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: of the company. So why do I like more about it?

184
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: Was easy to play. It's so easy. All you have

185
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: to do open the app big four players under all

186
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: over and you press one button and is a so

187
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: you get chances to to compete. So Um, that's what

188
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: I like about it. You don't you know, you don't

189
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: have to do it for the whole week. You don't

190
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: have to do it every day, but if you want to,

191
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: if you if it's a game, I was good, it's

192
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna be it's gonna be a pick to pick. So, um,

193
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: that's what I like about all right, it sounds good,

194
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: prize pick. Check it out. His name is Andrew Jones,

195
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: one of the best guys out there. We appreciate you

196
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: so much. Thank you, Thank you, guys, thanks for having

197
00:11:55,160 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: me be safe. You too. It's time for the pocket

198
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: Protector Centrum. The analytic numbers you need to know? Well,

199
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: maybe Anthony Masterson is his name. BS analytics is his game.

200
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: What do you got from me, Anthony? Everyone loves a dinger, right,

201
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: But are they all created equal? Of all the major sports,

202
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: baseball has the ability to be the quirkiest. Sure, arenas

203
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: and other sports might be different or nicer than others,

204
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: but once you stop on the court, or the ice

205
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: or the field, the game is the same, played with

206
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: the same rules and same dimensions. However, baseball stadiums, a

207
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: three fifteen foot flyball to right field can clear the

208
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: short porch at Yeekee Stadium, but that same flyball would

209
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: be cut fifty feet in front of the wall at

210
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: cors Field in Denver. Now, stack cast data much more prevalent.

211
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: Now we can overlay every flyball hit with every stadium

212
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: around the rigue to determine how much of a no

213
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: doubter the home run actually was. Baseball Savant now has

214
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: all home runs broken down into categories doubters mostly gone,

215
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: and no doubters no doubters. Of course, home runs that

216
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: would be out at all thirty stadiums mostly gone between

217
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 1: eight and twenty nine stadiums, and doubters from seven stadiums

218
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: or fewer. Now, digging into the data reveals another beauty

219
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: of baseball massad age. Ain't nothing but a number the

220
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: leaders in no doubters this season, or forty year old

221
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: Nelson Cruz And twenty one year old Fernando Tatis Jr.

222
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: With eleven no doubters. In fact, Tatis's home runs will

223
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: be out at an average of seventeen point four ballparks

224
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: around the league, far and away the highest market baseball Now,

225
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: is there any doubt about Tatis winning the MVP this season?

226
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: Maybe you only Mookie will have something to say about it.

227
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: That is, it was a big week in the big leagues?

228
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: Is it followed? Or is it fair? And now here?

229
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: Shadow League dot Com MLB insider Jr. Gamble. After thirty

230
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: four years, the Mets and the Sterling Group finally completed

231
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: a sale off the team to Stephen Cohen for two

232
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: point four billion dollars Jr? Is it foul or fair

233
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: to say that this is a good thing for Mets fans? Fair?

234
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: That's a fair ball. The day most Mets fans have

235
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: been waiting for is finally here. They actually should be

236
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: a status. Mets have been majority owned by the Wilpons

237
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: family since nine and in two thousand two they bought

238
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: the remaining shares of the franchise. The only World Series

239
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: title they have to show is the year the Wilpons

240
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: brought the team, so basically it's been all downhill since then.

241
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: They did manage to get the two World Series, but

242
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: those teams were always a piece short, a couple of

243
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: Wilpon dollars. Short fans have long complained that the Wilpons

244
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: are more interested in keeping their billions rather than going

245
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: out and getting high price free agents who can help

246
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: the team over the World Series out. Ever since the

247
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: mad Off fiasco where they reportedly lost the grip in

248
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: his Ponzi scheme, the Mets have been penny pictures in

249
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: comparison to the Yankees and other big market clubs. It's

250
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: been obvious this is a day of rejoice for the

251
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: Mets fans, as Eve Cohen sixty four has an estimated

252
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: net worth of more than fourteen billion dollars per four.

253
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: I was personally rooted for a Rod and j Lo

254
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: to win the bid because of their youth, popularity and excitement,

255
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: as well as the fact that a Rod would be

256
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: an owner that actually understands the game from the players

257
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: on up, which benefits the fans as is rare in ownership.

258
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: On the flip side, this is just another business endeavor

259
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: for Cohen, a new toy for guy with so much money.

260
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: So we'll have to see how he treats his players

261
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: and how much say he wants to have in personal decisions.

262
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: It could be a godsend to be stepped back opens

263
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: up the wallet unless the baseball people do what they do.

264
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: Major market, like the Mets needs more star power. The

265
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: fans deserve better. Maybe Cohen is the guy to finally

266
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: change three decades of being step children dozing at the

267
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: wheel in a city that never sleeps. Take out the

268
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: papers in the trash. It's time for trash talk. Twitter

273
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: comes from Ken in Detroit. I'm trashing Tigers GM ala

274
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: Vila because it's fun. The Tigers, I believe, with one

275
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: game out of the final playoffs spot when the trade

276
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: deadline came and while he didn't sell, he just sat

277
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: there and did nothing in this shortened season, there was

278
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: an opportunity to bring some hope back to Tigers fans. Instead,

279
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: we'll wind up suffering through who knows how many more

280
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: years of rebuild as they just don't have the horses

281
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: for a hundred and sixty two games. There you go.

Speaker 1: listen held. All right, now, let's welcome to the podcast

286
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: Preston Wilson, who of course won a World Series with

287
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: the St. Louis Cardinals, was the National League RBI leader

288
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: in two thousand and three and All Star that season

289
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: as well. Preston, Welcome to the podcast. How you doing, buddy,

290
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: I'll do well. Thank you guys for having me. Man, Man,

291
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. And uh, I wanna pepper you. Of

292
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: course you've done TV work as well, analyzing the game

293
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 1: after you're playing days. I wanna pepper you with a

294
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: couple of questions about baseball in the Marlins, Let's start there.

295
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: They have a shot to make the plan. Are they

296
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: for real? The Marlins? You know what with this new

297
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: with this new uh, with the way they had been

298
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: setting it out now with the new wild card spots

299
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: and all of that. Oh, man, I think they got

300
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: a chance. You know, they just took five and seven

301
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: from the Phillies. Uh, they got a good, exciting young

302
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: cord And one thing they have now that they didn't

303
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: have a few years ago. They have guys that have talent.

304
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: They make struggle every now and then, but they have

305
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: talent that's gonna pop. And they added uh, Marte Rojas

306
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: coming back with a big shot in arm for them.

307
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: I think they might be all right, man, I think

308
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: they can hold off of this thing. Yeah, because people

309
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: were criticizing Jeter when they stripped the team down. But

310
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 1: maybe they do have a plan and maybe it'll work.

311
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: Tell me this, when was the last time, well before

312
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: Jeter took over, name the last Marlins prospect that anybody

313
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: was ever talking about. That's the point. That's the point,

314
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: like there should be one that pops off the top

315
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: of your head. Like there's every organization where there's this

316
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: one guy coming. And once, once Josie Fernandez was in

317
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: the leagues, they had nobody that anybody was like, this

318
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: guy is gonna be the next guy. Who's gonna be

319
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: a star for the team, who's gonna be you know,

320
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: and every day all star possibly type player. So what

321
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: they did was they get at the minor league organization

322
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: and they went out and got good talent evaluators and

323
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: they found athletes. I knew the Models were in tuple

324
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: a few years ago when they needed a player and

325
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: they had to trade for Steve Lombardozi. Now that's not

326
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: a knock on Steve BOMBARDOZI. I think he did uh

327
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: the best he could with his talent he got. He

328
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: had a good career loan career. But if you're a team,

329
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: you should not have to train for that guy. You

330
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: should have two of those guys in the organization already,

331
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: no doubt. What about the raise? Can they make it

332
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: to the World Series with their pitching staff? They lead

333
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: the a l least and uh they got arms. They

334
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: got a lot of arms, and they seemed they have

335
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: some more of that they can just call on at

336
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: any time. I mean, you look at the guys that

337
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: can pull out of that bolt in the castillo. Uh,

338
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: I mean, just fairback. These guys are under Nick and them.

339
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: These guys are top notch guys. And you add a

340
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: smell at the top of that rotation, Glassgow that has

341
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: the problems that he has with that big arm. Uh.

342
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: I think they can do it, I really do. I

343
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: think they can do it. They pitching is what you need.

344
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: The one thing that stops, uh, any good team in

345
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: the post season is pitching, and they got that. Our

346
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: guest is Preston Wilson, the former Major League outfielder broadcaster A. Preston,

347
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 1: what about did the Indians make a mistake trading Mike Clevinger.

348
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: He pitched a shut out for the Padres in his

349
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: first start. Uh. This is a tough one for me.

350
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: And I will say this simply because that the Indians

351
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: have proven, uh that they really do care about your

352
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: character as far as what you are, you know, what

353
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: you bring to the table uh in the clubhouse. And

354
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: I think there was a very big Uh. There's a

355
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: lot of damage done in the ask of that organization

356
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: with Cleveringer being part of uh, you know, the whole

357
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: deal with with police Sack and those guys not maintaining

358
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: the protocols that they had. Um do I think it

359
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: hurt the Indians. That definitely hurt the ends. I mean,

360
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: he's got a great army's got great stuff, he knows

361
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: how to pitch. Uh. Is it a mistake that depends

362
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: on what they've been looking at? Like, how are you

363
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: judging this as far is it a mistake as far

364
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: as wins in WS or is it a mistake as

365
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: far as what you're trying to establish it as far

366
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: as what you want your team in your organization to

367
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: be about. No doubt, Uh, you know, Uh, everybody knows

368
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: you're a stepdad. Is Mookie Wilson of course won the

369
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: World Series in Nix with the Mets, a part of

370
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: one of the most famous plays in the history of baseball,

371
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: the ball going through Bill Buckner's legs. But uh, Preston,

372
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: there's a lot of fathers and sons in the major leagues,

373
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: a lot of sons of fathers. I should say, who

374
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: are who's the best kid out there? Uh there's tattoos, Uh,

375
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: there's uh. I mean, he's gotten all the headlines this year,

376
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: but there's a number of young players out there. Charlie Hayes,

377
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: his son just came up. Who do you like, man,

378
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: I've been impressed with a lot of these kids. I

379
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: think I think Bladimir Guerreroll's son it's going to uh,

380
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna make it. He's gonna, you know, be and

381
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: be what people thought he was. You know. I think

382
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: he just see a little time of adjustment. And I

383
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: think he was the guy in Toronto that he did

384
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: so much damage journey that everybody really studied him and

385
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: try to figure out how to expose him. Cavin Diggio,

386
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be really good. I like him

387
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: a lot. Um. But when you talk about the the

388
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: guy who right now is just bringing it every day

389
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: seemingly and it's affecting every game, whether it be on

390
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: defense or offense. You gotta go with Taxis Jr. And

391
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: It'sid's amazing. He he he really is. I think he

392
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 1: has a chance to win the m v P. Uh.

393
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: The other thing, last thing, Uh, the Dodgers have won

394
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: seven straight National League West Division titles. What's your hunch

395
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: to do the Padres catch him? What did the Dodgers

396
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: hold him off? I feel like the Dodgers gonna hold

397
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: on to that man. Uh I left Dave Roberts. Uh.

398
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: You know, I think he's a from in the stabilizing

399
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,479
Speaker 1: force for that team. Um. You know, if they if

400
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: they can if they can stay healthy, if they can

401
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: keep Kershaw's back healthy, and keep that lineup in tac

402
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: I think they hold onto it. And I think this

403
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: might be the year that doctors when at all, I

404
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: really do so, it would be about time. Since his

405
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: name is Preston Wilson, the former Major league outfield the

406
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: Preston thanks for joining the podcast. Appreciate you. Thank you anytime,

407
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: man call me whatever you want me on again. I

408
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: love talking baseball with you. Now it's time for some

409
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: diamond Dust with wish TVs. Phil Sanchez. He played baseball

410
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: in college. Now here is MLB knowledge Well, Christmas came

411
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: early in Queens, New York. Mets fans are ecstatic over

412
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: the news that the team is finally being sold. This

413
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: after the team released the statement saying they have come

414
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 1: to an agreement to sell the team for two point

415
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: six billion dollars. The new owner, billionaire and lifelong Mets

416
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: fan Steve Cohen. The deal still needs to be approved

417
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: by Major League Baseball and a majority of the other

418
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: owners in the league. But the hardest part is done,

419
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 1: and that, of course, was to get Will Ponds, who

420
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: owned the team, to finally realize that they were awful

421
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: and needed to sell. So once Cohen takes over control,

422
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: he will easily become the richest owner in all of

423
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball history. Is net worth fourteen billion dollars.

424
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: In fact, he's the second wealthiest owner in all of sports,

425
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: behind the Clippers Steve Ballmer. And if you're wondering is

426
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: he going to spend money, of course on the team.

427
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: We'll just think about this for a second. The guy

428
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: has an art collection estimated to be worth one billion

429
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: dollars and He's said to have been the inspiration for

430
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: the character Bobby axel Rod on the show Billions. In short,

431
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: Steve Cohen doesn't like to lose, and as a die

432
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: hard Mets fan, this is our World Series. Now bringing

433
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: the closer. Here's why MLB is better than the NFL

434
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 1: or NBA, and it isn't even close. Here's another reason

435
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: why Major League Baseball is better than the NBA and

436
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: the NFL. Just take a look at the sale of

437
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: the New York Mets to Steve Cohen. When you're thinking

438
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: of Mets, they were a middle of the road Major

439
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: League Baseball team then, not one of the primo franchises.

440
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: And guess what they went for two point four billion dollars,

441
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: more than the Brooklyn Nets went for, more than the

442
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers went for in team. Think about that. That's

443
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: how healthy major League Baseball is that it also ran

444
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: team like the Mets that have won one World Series

445
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: since fetches two point four billion dollars in in a sale.

446
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: That is an incredible number. Can you imagine if the Yankees,

447
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: Red Sox or Dodgers wing on the market what they

448
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: would fetch. Unbelievable money keeps pouring in to major League Baseball.

449
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: In the words of New York TV legend the late

450
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: Bill Jorgensen, thanking you for your time this time until
