Speaker 3: our show notes. Jack Arham have yet to talk about

39
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: Opening weekend with ARM have yet to talk about going

40
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: to Opening Day for the first time in a couple

41
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: of years you said that you were going to go.

42
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 3: We have not gotten a recap. Sandy kind of stunk

43
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: it up. Yesser was fine, but how is opening day?

44
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 3: And then how is opening weekend? Man? It was good.

45
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 4: It was good to be there. It was It was

46
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: a total bitch to get to Traffic sucked. It seemed

47
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 4: like everything that went so smoothly with the WBC. I

48
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: think they just like went bare bones, you know, and

49
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 4: like kind of trend the staff back a little bit.

50
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 4: I was in a parking garage for an hour after

51
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 4: the game, so like that's of things kind of stunk.

52
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 4: The game itself great, you know, the Marlins gave you

53
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 4: just enough offense to make the game interesting. Garrett Cooper

54
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,799
Speaker 4: big home run. That was fun. But it was pretty

55
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 4: interesting to see Sandy struggle like that. I've never really

56
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 4: seen Sandy fight command issues quite to that degree. Schureser,

57
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: you said fine, Like I thought he was really good

58
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 4: up until that that Garrett Cooper swing really like he

59
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 4: had been pretty damn sharp. Obviously, the Marlins lineup's not great,

60
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 4: but it was just nice to be there, man. Like

61
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 4: decent crowd, a lot of Mets fans. Steve Cohen was

62
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 4: in the stands, which was very funny over with the

63
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: Mets section, just kind of walking around doing his thing.

64
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 4: But it was fun. It was a good environment. I

65
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 4: saw Serena there. That was pretty cool, Serena Williams the goat.

66
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 4: But yeah, it was just cool to see the pace

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 4: of the game. It was so fast, but it was

68
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: really engaging, and I mean, what's better. What's a better

69
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 4: example of the pitch clock? When he got Sandy and

70
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 4: Shurs are going. Obviously, if they were sharper, we would

71
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: have saw it, you know, cruising a bit more, but

72
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: it was. It was still a good ballgame, and you know,

73
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 4: brought me a lot of that feeling to be the

74
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 4: kid again an opening day.

75
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Steve Cohen being in the stands kind of

76
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: feels like what I read on I'm not going to

77
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 3: say which website I read it on, but I did

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 3: read that Starbucks new CEO, which took over yesterday for

79
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: Howard Schultz, the longtime CEO, plans on being a barista

80
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 3: in several Starbucks stores on any given month, which like

81
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 3: is kind of eyewash, but I also kind of love it,

82
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 3: Like that's cool.

83
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: It depends how you do it. It depends how you

84
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 4: do it.

85
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it feels like it feels like Steve Cohen

86
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 3: was very low key ed more.

87
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 4: I think he just wanted to feel like a fan.

88
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 4: I really do like that guy. Steve Cohen is a fan,

89
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 4: but he is not allowed to be a fan because

90
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 4: he's the owner of the team and he's a multi

91
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 4: multi billionaire. So I think it just made him feel

92
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 4: like a fan a little bit, just being in that

93
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 4: crowd and just trying to be like a normal person.

94
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 4: I guess like I didn't. I didn't see it as

95
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 4: a me show. It wasn't like kind of that the

96
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 4: eyewash kind of thing that I thought it might be.

97
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so like the new CEO of Starbucks, like this

98
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: is a me show.

99
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 4: Ye look at me with the common folk. Look at

100
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 4: me just like while we're in myself to the common folk.

101
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 4: That's that's how much of a normal guy I could

102
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 4: be like that. That's kind of Gabe Kapler taking the

103
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 4: zoom at Starbucks kind of the same same vein there.

104
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: I'm hanging with the poor people. Someone take a photo.

105
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, take a picture real quick. I love it.

106
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, So I'm gonna ask you a really

107
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: loaded question that I asked Peter. We already did like

108
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: an opening weekend recap, but there are some trends that

109
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 3: you and I both saw that we want to talk about.

110
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: There is one when it comes to command or lack thereof,

111
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: that I thought was pretty jarring from box score, looking

112
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: from condense game watching, and from live game watching. I

113
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: was like, guys are not finding the strike zone right now.

114
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: And this loaded question that Peter and I had a good,

115
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: you know, five to ten minute conversation about on yesterday's

116
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 3: show is pretty indicative of that. Jack Flaherty, we think

117
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: finally healthy dealt with shoulder stuff for the last couple

118
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 3: of years really hasn't been healthy since he was awesome

119
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen, five innings of no hit ball, shut

120
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 3: out ball. He struck out four, he walked seven, he

121
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: hit one hitter. I asked, Peter, did Jack flerity pitch well?

122
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 3: Yes or no? We both fell somewhere in between yes

123
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: and no. I think Peter was more yes than I was.

124
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 3: I mean, he allowed free eight passes, and he allowed

125
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: eight free passes in five innings. Granted, no hits, no runs,

126
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 3: But where do you lie on the yes or no question,

127
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 3: did Jack Flarerity pitch well on Saturday?

128
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 4: I think he showed some good things, right, Like the

129
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 4: breaking ball looked good and it was what allowed him

130
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: to get out of danger. But he created the danger

131
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 4: all by himself. Anytime you walk seven and give up

132
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 4: eight free passes, it's not a good adding. It's simply not.

133
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 4: Whether you're a high school pitching coach, a college pitching coach,

134
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 4: a major league pitching coach. Number one thing they're going

135
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 4: to tell you to prevent his walks. I understand he

136
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 4: didn't give up any hits, and that's the one thing

137
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 4: that salvaged it, because if he gave up one or

138
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 4: two hits, he probably would have given up several runs.

139
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 4: That's the difference. You can't always count on not giving

140
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: up any hits, right, So, yeah, if you walk seven guys,

141
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 4: it's a red flag. It's a concern, and I think

142
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: Jack Flaherty will say that I felt good about certain things.

143
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: I don't think he's chasing results at this point. I

144
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: think he's chasing health and and you know execution. Obviously

145
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 4: didn't execute in some ways, but did execute in others

146
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 4: to be able to get some swings and misses. On

147
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 4: the break, he threw a couple of nasty sliders that

148
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 4: were on pitching ninja. But I mean the v well fluctuated.

149
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 4: He did show a cutter that was interesting, so maybe

150
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 4: that was why he wasn't commanding it well. But to

151
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: answer your question directly, if you walk seven batters and

152
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 4: give up eight free passes, you did not pitch well.

153
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: I don't care if you threw five no hit innings,

154
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 4: and so to me, he didn't pitch well. But there

155
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 4: were some decent signs there from him.

156
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: Yes, So that is kind of where I stand too.

157
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: And Peter was of the thinking, where hey, that's a

158
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: really good Blue Jays lineup, and he ended up throwing

159
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: five shutout innings. Okay, I can see that side of it,

160
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: and I told Peter that, But I mean he created

161
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: you said it perfectly. He created so much trouble for himself.

162
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: He put himself in so many high leverage situations where

163
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: one mispitch would have gotten him burned badly, and he

164
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 3: had tons of mispitches when it didn't burn him. So

165
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: I can appreciate that he did throw five shutout innings,

166
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: But what I can't appreciate is you know, the whip

167
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: is closer to one to five than it is one.

168
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly, So I mean like that that's something

169
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 4: that if you're doing that consistently, obviously it's gonna catch

170
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 4: up to you. There's so many stats around walks and

171
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 4: lead off walks and things like that. But also like

172
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: the whip kind of speaks for itself, and he would

173
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 4: it be a FIP disaster if he's walking that many

174
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 4: guys and just doesn't get enough swings and misses with

175
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 4: the fastball to succeed that way. But I do think

176
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 4: if the stuff is diminished, a cutter would be a

177
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: great help. So that's something to follow there real quick.

178
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 4: I just want to mention it before we forget because

179
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: it probably might not be on your Like pre show notes,

180
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 4: the Braves designated Jordan Luplow and selected Dylan Dodd. Okay,

181
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 4: and interesting, Jared Schuster was optioned.

182
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 3: To triple A.

183
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, why I guess for Dylan Dodd.

184
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: Why would that make any sense because they need both

185
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 3: of them?

186
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 4: Now?

187
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 3: What is that rotation? This just happened. We're recording it too.

188
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: On Monday after it.

189
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 4: Was at one ten while we were recording the call up.

190
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: So you've got freed Interstcly headed of the IL. You've

191
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 3: got Kyle Wright on the IL, I mean freed Strider Morton.

192
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: Who am I missing? That's like healthy, that's going to

193
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 3: make start for them.

194
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 4: What's interesting that Schuster after one bad start too, they said,

195
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 4: you know Seeya.

196
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 3: But but who's coming up right Elder.

197
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 4: I guess that's something that I shouldn't have bought this up.

198
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 4: I guess that's so weird.

199
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: But like Ian Anderson, Stunk gets good that we're thinking

200
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: out loud.

201
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 4: I mean, like, so this is this is what Rosters says,

202
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 4: Max Free, it says Schuster is still there. So I

203
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 4: don't understand why it's saying they optioned.

204
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: Schuster, missus Stard, He's going to the I l It sounds.

205
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 4: Like Dodd is going to start the fourth tomorrow, Yes

206
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 4: to today today for those listening, Yeah, I don't. I

207
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 4: don't understand.

208
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 3: That's so weird. Okay, looplow kind of makes sense for

209
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,239
Speaker 3: me because now that clears up a spot for Audrianzas.

210
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 3: So it's the bench is Darnault Adrianza, who is a

211
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 3: true utility guy, Sam Hilliard and Kevin palar So I

212
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 3: understand getting Looplow off the roster, but the Shuster DoD

213
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: juggle is weird.

214
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 4: I think so, I think just for for transparency. Like

215
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure they haven't decided what the other spot's

216
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 4: going to be, so maybe they're going to bring up

217
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 4: Elder and let Schuster go work on something triple That's

218
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 4: pretty surprising given that it was just it was a

219
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 4: bad start. It was a really bad start against the Nationals.

220
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 4: But like he was great in the spring, why would

221
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 4: you just send Shuster down?

222
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: I have no idea. Also, real quick, we know it's

223
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 3: probably not going to be Ian Anderson because that guy

224
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: just can't find it right now?

225
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: What's no that that was really rough to see. He

226
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 4: gave up six against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. I mean

227
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 4: that's Triple A Marlins. The MLB Marlins are not good.

228
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 4: Triple A Marlins wanta been that good either, Really tough

229
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 4: to see. Ian Anderson's going to be a dive that

230
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 4: I'm interested to do very soon.

231
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 3: That you said he gave up six, He didn't make

232
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 3: it out of the first inning. He got two hours.

233
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like that's just just super It was.

234
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 4: It was just rough. I think Burdick hit one one

235
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 4: thirteen off of him like it was. It was rough. Oh,

236
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 4: So here's the announcement from the Braves. Braves today selected

237
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 4: the contract to Dylan Dodd. So Lanna Braves optioned Jared

238
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: Schuster to triple A Gwenett to make room for on

239
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 4: the forty man roster. Atlanta designated Jordan Luplow for assignment.

240
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 4: So I think we're waiting for one more move, to have.

241
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 3: One more corresponding move to Shuster getting optioned. But because

242
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 3: Looplow got dfayed.

243
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: Was loophole on the active roster though that's the question.

244
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: Oh, I guess he might have not been.

245
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 4: You don't think he was on the active roster, so

246
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 4: that's the difference. So they just swapped them out, and

247
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 4: then they had to create a spot on the forty

248
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: man because Shuster had been added to the forty man.

249
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 4: So it's such a it's such such a mind fuck

250
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 4: sometimes with all this shit. But Dodd wasn't on the

251
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 4: forty man, so they had to also clear up a

252
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 4: spot on the forty man because even though you're optioning

253
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 4: Shuster to triple A, right, he still was on the

254
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 4: forty man roster. Right, you'd have to designate him for assignment,

255
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 4: so to clear him off the forty man. Obviously he'd

256
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 4: get claimed and you don't do that. Yeah, yeah, So

257
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 4: thank you for stringing along with us for this mental exercise.

258
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 4: But that is how we got to where we are at,

259
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 4: and that's how it all makes sense. I'm sure a

260
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 4: lot of people probably had the same questions and then

261
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: had the same kind of follow along there with us.

262
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: So there and Schuster is a pretty good transition to

263
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: the next point that I want to make. Command was

264
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: just down across the board in the first couple games

265
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 3: of the Major league slate. The first weekend of the

266
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 3: major league slate, we mentioned Flaherty walk seven, hit a

267
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: guy in five innings. Schuster walked five guys in four

268
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: and two thirds. He did not do that at the

269
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 3: minor league level last year. He hardly did that at

270
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 3: weight when he was a demon Deacon. Edward Cabrera, Sandy

271
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 3: al Contra, Sandy walked four in five thirds. I've never

272
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 3: seen that weird. Edward Cabrera walked six and four innings,

273
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: Lance Lynn, Jesus Lozardo Merril, Kelly Sonny Gray. Guys that

274
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 3: are not walk prone walked four guys, So then I

275
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: started to dive into the overall trends. Overall, there were

276
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 3: fifteen starting pitchers this weekend that walked four or more guys.

277
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 3: Compare that number fifteen with eleven that walked four or

278
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: more in the first weekend of last year. There were

279
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: thirty that walked three or more guys this past weekend.

280
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 3: Compared that number thirty with twenty three that did that

281
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two. Really odd. I think I point

282
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: to the pitch clock.

283
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 4: You brought that up on the call up, and I think,

284
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 4: I think you're totally right. You know, in the minor

285
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: leagues it was weird because they've had the pitch clock,

286
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 4: so it was a little bit more layered. Major leagues,

287
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 4: it's cutting dry, right. You talked about it when we

288
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 4: recorded about you know, just not having that second to recalibrate,

289
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 4: you know, and if you're on, it's a blessing because

290
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 4: you want to get you want to get on the

291
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 4: rubber and go. And oftentimes we see hitters try to

292
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 4: disrupt the rhythm of a pitcher. That said pictures are

293
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 4: trying to get into rhythm, and sometimes when you aren't

294
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 4: in rhythm, it's hard to just magically get there without

295
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 4: taking a breather, taking a lap around the mound, kind

296
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 4: of doing your thing, whatever your mo is to get rolling.

297
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 4: So I one hundred percent think that was part of it.

298
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 4: And I think, you know, also you have the fatigue

299
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: that might come with it a bit too, because you

300
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 4: are go, go, go go, don't have as many breathers,

301
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 4: as many chances to kind of slow down. So, you know,

302
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: I think that's one hundred percent a factor here. It's

303
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 4: something that I think pitchers will adjust to. But there's

304
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 4: no doubt that I don't think it's a coincidence that

305
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 4: we saw walks up through this first series.

306
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, again, you need a rhythm breaker, and like that

307
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: was my worry last year. I think when we were

308
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: getting into the Triple A season and you had the

309
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: pitch clock, how are these guys going to find a

310
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 3: quicker rhythm breaker or a quicker lack of rhythm breaker

311
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: almost slamming the reset button hard, and we see a

312
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 3: lot of guys go grab the rosin back. You kind

313
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 3: of have to like speed walk to the rosen bag

314
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 3: to get it and be ready to go. Now, So

315
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: is there a quick queue that guys can figure out

316
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 3: during bullpens where it's all right, I need to feel

317
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 3: this nasal inhale in, through the nose, out through the mouth.

318
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: Let's go. You know, a simple shoulder shrug. If you

319
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 3: can find a five second reset as opposed to the

320
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 3: fifteen twenty second reset that some of these guys had,

321
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 3: then good. Obviously it's going to take a lot more

322
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: than one start to find that reset.

323
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 4: One hundred percent, and these guys will find it. Right Like,

324
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 4: I'm not worried about it, but it is an interesting

325
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 4: note out of the gate, you know, for someone like

326
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 4: Jared Schuster. I don't think that's why he struggled, and

327
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 4: I think that's why we see him in Triple A,

328
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 4: because he works quicker than anybody I saw in the

329
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: minor leagues last year. Both of us said that, and

330
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 4: you know, ultimately it just seemed like he just had

331
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 4: that the pregame Jitters, they're the first game Jitters. What's

332
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 4: interesting is Peter talks about his betting systems, and one

333
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 4: of the most fool proof for him has been rookie

334
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 4: pitchers making their MLB debut on the road. It's it's

335
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 4: so niche and so weird, but he has brought it

336
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 4: up to me almost every single time a guy debuts now,

337
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: and like, I don't have the stats in front of me,

338
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 4: but I can just tell you anecdotally it's like the

339
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 4: last the last five times the guys have gotten racked

340
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 4: and I'm like, all right, man, Peter, like I'll buy

341
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 4: this one from me, Like it really is real. So

342
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 4: you know that that is something that is interesting. But

343
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 4: clearly I think there was a release point issue, a

344
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 4: mechanical issue that they wouldn't just send him down. The

345
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 4: good news is is they have DoD kind of plug

346
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 4: and ride back in. But with some of the veteran guys,

347
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 4: like a Sandy you know Sandy, Remember he didn't have

348
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 4: spring training. He threw in the World Baseball Classic, which

349
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 4: I think got him ready on an intensity level, but

350
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 4: didn't get him ready on a rhythm level. And I

351
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 4: think Sandy was this was one of his you know,

352
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 4: he didn't have nearly as many starts with a pitchclock

353
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 4: because the World Baseball Classic was slow as all hell.

354
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 4: We didn't even care because it was sick. But like

355
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 4: that was kind of the one of the first legit

356
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 4: legit starts with the pitchclock for him.

357
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 3: Great point because three of those four other names that

358
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 3: I mentioned that walked for in their first start, Lance

359
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 3: Lynn Team USA, Merrill Kelly Team USA, Jesu's Lizardo Team Venezuela.

360
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 3: So you've got these guys that didn't get those two

361
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 3: or three more starts that they would have gotten in

362
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 3: spring training with the pitch clock. Instead, they were rearing

363
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 3: up and they were at one hundred percent every pitch.

364
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 3: You have twenty to thirty second between pitches to do that.

365
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: A hell, you have as much time as you want.

366
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 3: So yeah, I guess these guys were just not ready

367
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 3: maybe with the rhythm breaker that they were hoping they

368
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: would have.

369
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,239
Speaker 4: I really think that that's one hundred percent what it was.

370
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 4: And it's funny you look at the hitting side. Yeah,

371
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 4: a lot of the WBC participators are raking, yeah, you know,

372
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 4: because I think those are guys that had had things

373
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 4: going offensively and it was higher intensity than spring training,

374
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 4: force them to lock in a little bit more, and

375
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 4: I mean they are more locked in going in Trace

376
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 4: Thompson at three home runs. We were talking about I'm

377
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 4: on Bozo watch for saying that that Trace Thompson was

378
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 4: a fluke last year. We'll see it's one game. But

379
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 4: just to say like he's locked in, right, I mean,

380
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 4: that's three bombs from him. You've got some other guys

381
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 4: that played in the WBC. Even Joan Mancata is off

382
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 4: to start, Mullen's off to a great start. A lot

383
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 4: of the WBC guys kick Hernandez swinging it really well

384
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 4: out of the gate. A lot of these WBC guys

385
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 4: are off two great starts offensively, I don't think it's

386
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 4: a coincidence. So while while the adjustments to the pitchclock

387
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 4: may be, you know, a little bit counterproductive for the

388
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 4: pitchers that we're pitching in the WBC, I think for

389
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 4: the hitters they are a little bit more locked in

390
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 4: because there's a lot of guys that we're playing in

391
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 4: that that. Of course, Randy off to a great start

392
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 4: as well through these first few games, small sample, but

393
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 4: I don't think it's a coincidence that many of the

394
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 4: top hitters through the first three games where guys that

395
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 4: you know, we're playing the highest intensity ballgames, you know,

396
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 4: just a few weeks ago.

397
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 3: So I've got a Randy a Roseorana question for you.

398
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 3: And Randy is a guy that, like everybody, has fallen

399
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 3: in love with whether it be in the postseason or

400
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 3: in the World Baseball Classic, note those environments. This is

401
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 3: tournament guy that we're talking about, Randy A. Rose Arena,

402
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 3: and he has a Rookie of the Year. He is

403
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 3: a career eight ten ops guy in the regular season,

404
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: but when you go to the postseason, Randy Arose Arena

405
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 3: is an eleven hundred ops guy. He ops. I think

406
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 3: close to fourteen Hundred's.

407
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 4: What's his WRC plus and the postseas two three?

408
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 3: I think so, I think it's over two hundred. I

409
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 3: don't have that now because I'm on Baseball Reference, but

410
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 3: I mean I.

411
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 4: Think it's two o three. I want you to pull

412
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 4: that up later.

413
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: Yes I will. But like a ros Arana dude, I mean,

414
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 3: he is such a joke in the postseason, and he

415
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 3: was such a joke during the World Baseball Classic in

416
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 3: a good way. You know, we're we're talking about this

417
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 3: guy is like one of the best players on the

418
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,719
Speaker 3: planet when the lights are on, when the lights are

419
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 3: relatively off, what does Randy E. Ros Arana look like?

420
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: And I think the answer has been good player. But

421
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: now in the first three games, he's three for ten

422
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 3: with a double, a homer. He's gotten eleven hundred ohps

423
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 3: through thirteen plate appearances. So I ask you, does Randy

424
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 3: relatively break out this year? Does he become a great

425
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 3: player or do you think he is an eight hundred

426
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 3: ops guy? And when the Rays get into the postseason

427
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: he ups it again? Like is this just the Randy

428
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 3: that we have to come to assume.

429
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 4: It's weird because I think it's a great question. I mean,

430
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 4: we've roughly talked about it in the past, but never

431
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 4: really like gave our full thoughts on what we think

432
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 4: he will be. It's kind of just like an interesting situation.

433
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 4: I'm not a big believer in guys becoming different players

434
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 4: in the postseason, Like I really am not. I think

435
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 4: great players perform in the postseason, and I think some

436
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 4: players maintain that low heart rate a little bit better

437
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 4: than others. But I'm not a believer and like good

438
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 4: player becoming great in the postseason, I just don't really

439
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 4: think that's a thing. Randy Roseraina is, you know the exception.

440
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 4: I'm one hundred percent. You can't deny what he has done.

441
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 4: The sample size is too big. We have over one

442
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 4: hundred played appearances in the playoffs and then we have

443
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 4: the World Baseball Classic, so clearly there's something there for

444
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 4: him when when that intensity level rises. For me, I

445
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 4: think he's talented enough to be not a two to

446
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 4: zero three WRC plus or whatever it is on Fancrafts,

447
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 4: but in the postseason, I think he's good enough to

448
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: be a fringe All Star. And I think he has

449
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 4: to find a way to lock in for one sixty

450
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 4: two because we've seen him go through stretches. He's a

451
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 4: streaky player. He goes through stretches in the big league

452
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 4: season where it's it's Torrin and he looks like the

453
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 4: guy that we see in the playoffs. I think for

454
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 4: him it is just a matter of finding a way

455
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 4: to get yourself that fired up, locked in and amped

456
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 4: up for one sixty two. I think every guy has

457
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 4: that struggle. But I think we see what's in there

458
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 4: for Ronald acunia or excuse me, for Randy A. Rosereina

459
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 4: or I'm looking at I'm looking at Acunya's stats through

460
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 4: the first three games too, But with Randy A. Rose Araino, like,

461
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 4: I think that's he's got to find a way to

462
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 4: get that intensity out and maybe he did so if

463
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 4: he did, if he found a way to get himself

464
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 4: that locked in, that could just be the difference. So

465
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 4: I think it's very possible that we could see more

466
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 4: from a Rose Rain at this point. It doesn't help

467
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 4: that he plays his regular season games and one of

468
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 4: the biggest just kind of deserts that there are in

469
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 4: baseball stadiums, with the way rays fans are and with

470
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 4: the way that stadium kind of is set up. So

471
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 4: if he finds a way to get himself locked in,

472
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 4: I do think that could be a difference.

473
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 3: He jumps from a one thirty WRC plus guy on

474
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 3: his career in the regular season to two oh three

475
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 3: in the postseason.

476
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 4: I got it.

477
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, spot on two oh three WRC plus in the postseason,

478
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 3: one thirty WRC plus in the regular season and a

479
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 3: one thirty WRC plus. There's really good. He is not

480
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 3: a great defender traditionally in the regular season. That's a

481
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 3: focus thing too, man, It's a think about Oh, that

482
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 3: is like the focus thing. I think every major league

483
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 3: hitter dials in for plate appearances, right because like that's

484
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 3: where they earn their money, Like that's where they win

485
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 3: arbitration cases. You don't lose one hundred million dollar contracts

486
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 3: by playing a shitty corner outfield, like Wan Soto is

487
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 3: terrible in a corner and he's gonna be a half

488
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 3: a billion dollar player. Nobody has any doubts about that.

489
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 3: Wan Soto knows that his money is made at the plates.

490
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 3: Randy Arose Arena, like he knows the plate is where

491
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 3: you got to lock in. If he locks in defensively

492
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 3: like he was in the World Baseball Classic. I mean,

493
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 3: we could be talking about an All Star and we

494
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 3: could be talking about a nine figure type guy instead

495
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 3: of an eight figure type guy, which is still really good.

496
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 4: I think it would be fair to call Randy Arose

497
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 4: Arena the most fascinating player in baseball for that exact reason,

498
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 4: just because like we don't know, like he might just

499
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 4: still be the same guy, or he could be a

500
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 4: nine figure player. There's not that many guys that it's

501
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 4: that wide of a range, and I'm really excited to see.

502
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 4: I think after this year, it's pretty much cut and dry,

503
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 4: like if he doesn't level up to another another point

504
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 4: this year, I think we kind of know that it's

505
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 4: just the dichotomy of Randy Rose Arena and that's just

506
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 4: gonna be what it is so.

507
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 3: Yes or no? Does he level up?

508
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 4: I think he does. I don't think he levels up

509
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 4: to like Superstar or whatever. Like, I think he levels

510
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 4: up just a full notch. I think the defense is

511
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 4: a notch better. And again, I think I think he

512
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 4: realizes that there's money coming soon. He's you know, the

513
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 4: years of arbitration are dwindling. I think he's gonna be

514
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 4: a free agent in two years.

515
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 3: I think so.

516
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 4: So Like, I think he realizes, like, hey, if I

517
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 4: if I can prove that I can do this over

518
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty, you know, it doesn't even have

519
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 4: to be all one sixty two defensively. And also it's

520
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 4: just like you know, sometimes guys will take a pitch

521
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 4: off or two, you know, like in the even it's

522
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 4: a five run game in the eighth, he might not

523
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 4: be as locked in. I agree that they probably don't

524
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 4: do it as much as they do it in the field.

525
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 4: Guys definitely do it in the field. Yeah I've heard

526
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 4: that firsthand. But you know, yeah, it's it's definitely something

527
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 4: that could be a difference maker for him. I mean,

528
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 4: we could talk about good defense could put him with

529
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 4: the offense that he already puts up of it. If

530
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 4: that's a slight improvement offensively, good defense can make him

531
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 4: a five to win player.

532
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 3: Twenty one, he won the Rookie of the Year with

533
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: a three point eight F four. I think he can

534
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 3: be a five win guy like I think he could

535
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 3: better that by a whole win, which is really impressive

536
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: from Randy. And I do think even though he has

537
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 3: been good, this could be a massive breakout coming from him.

538
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 4: And the Rays may kick themselves if they don't extend

539
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 4: him if he puts up a monster year this year.

540
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 3: Which is why I think we're going to get a

541
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 3: news release at some point soon.

542
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 4: Five years seventy five million with an option on the

543
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 4: back end.

544
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 3: I think yes. If I were a betting man, I

545
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 3: would say that Eric Neander and Randy Rose Arena's people

546
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 3: are already sitting down. I think that he knows what

547
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 3: they could have here and what they already do have

548
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 3: in terms of appeal. Randy a Rose Arena is going

549
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 3: to bring people to Tropicana Field, and that's a really

550
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 3: hard thing to do. But the duo of Wander and

551
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 3: Randy in that lineup on a mcclanahan's start day or

552
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 3: on a glass Now start day, or the way Rasmus

553
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 3: it is trending on a rasmusen start day, must CETV,

554
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 3: must see TV. So now I know one of your

555
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 3: takeaways was that weekend at the Trap.

556
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they looked lights out. Jeffrey Springs is

557
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 4: that dude? And that was going to be my question.

558
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 4: So I wanted to pose a question to you because

559
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 4: we I think we have statistically. You talked about in

560
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 4: the last episode, right, who the worst offense was through

561
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 4: the first week. Did you talk about that?

562
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 3: I didn't mention the WRC plus number. I saw this

563
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: on Twitter and I'll hunt down who put it out.

564
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 4: But so do you have a WRC plus number? Then

565
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 4: I'll pose a question.

566
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 3: The Detroit Tigers put up a fifteen WRC plus in

567
00:26:58,680 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: the first three games.

568
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 4: So they faced the Rays through those first three games.

569
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 4: Is that more of a terrible Tigers lineup or a

570
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 4: lights out Rays pitching staff? And I know that the

571
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 4: correct answer is probably a little of both. But it's

572
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 4: not gonna be fifty to fifty split down the middle, right,

573
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 4: There's gonna be a slight favor to one of them.

574
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 4: Which one is it? To you?

575
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: I think the raise rotation is that good.

576
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 4: Yes, I think that's a correct answer too. I think

577
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 4: the Tigers are not going to hit that well this year,

578
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 4: but I do think they're gonna hit better. Hasn't changed

579
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 4: from what I said before the season. I think they're

580
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 4: gonna hit better than a lot of people think. And

581
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 4: I think that a lot of young hitters and a

582
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 4: lot of bounce back candidates in you know meadows, even

583
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 4: Haave Bias just got thrown into a buzzsaw for the

584
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 4: first week on the road, like the first the first series,

585
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 4: and they got carved up. Watching the video of those games,

586
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 4: I was watching a quick pitch and then d Row

587
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 4: was also breaking down Springs and a couple of these

588
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 4: these guys. It wasn't just like challenge you and blow

589
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 4: it by you. They were just dicing hitting their spots.

590
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 4: It was a tunneling master class. Like these guys were

591
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 4: all locked in specifically springs. Yeah, are the Tigers. Is

592
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 4: the Tigers offense, you know, on the weaker side, potentially, sure,

593
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 4: But I think that this was a statement from the

594
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 4: Ray's pitching staff like I don't. I don't think that

595
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 4: that's going to taper off anytime soon. And I think

596
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 4: that the Tiger's lineup's gonna bounce back in the next

597
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 4: couple of series. I think they're gonna put up some

598
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 4: good numbers against the Red Sox pitching staff.

599
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 3: I too, Yes, And we're going to see Rasmussen start

600
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 3: in Washington tonight. We're talking about that last night, and

601
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 3: then we're going to see Josh Fleming start a game

602
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 3: tonight in Washington. Then it turns back over to McClanahan.

603
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 3: Off day, you got e Flyn starting a series at

604
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 3: home against Oakland. So it does really help the narrative

605
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 3: that the Tigers are opening with or that the Rays

606
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 3: are opening with the Tigers, the Nats and the A's.

607
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, but.

608
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 3: When fully healthy. They just handed Zach Efflin forty million

609
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 3: dollars and he may not even be in the five

610
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: man rotation. That's how good they could be in August.

611
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: McClanahan springs Rasmussen, glass Now and Taj Bradley if he

612
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 3: bounces back after this tough first start, Like, dude, you

613
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 3: could trade one of them and not feel it.

614
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, I agree, and they won't. But maybe

615
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 4: in the offseason.

616
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: Figure it out, like if they go six man rotation,

617
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 3: that that could be they could run away with the

618
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 3: staff Era title.

619
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 4: So I on the on the zach Eflin point because

620
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 4: I thought he looked really good already. And that's the thing.

621
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 4: They got so many different options so they can ride

622
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 4: different hot hands and there's no fall off like we

623
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 4: talked about so many rotations where it's like good top three,

624
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 4: but man, that four or five not a problem with

625
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 4: the Rays at all. Uh quick plug to our random

626
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 4: MLB Trades Twitter account that I sporadically rewind that I've

627
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 4: been called on recently. This trade's gonna make get right

628
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 4: after this episode, zach Eflin was involved in a trade

629
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 4: in twenty fourteen. It was involved in two trades in

630
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 4: two days in twenty fourteen, and they're both hilarious. Zach

631
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 4: Eflin was traded by the San Diego Padres with Gasmani

632
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 4: Grondal and Joe Wheeland Wiland to the Los Angeles Dodgers

633
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 4: for Matt Kemp, Tim Fedorovich and cash.

634
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 3: Right, you don't remember Tim Federovitch catching legend.

635
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 4: Not really. Next day he is traded by the Los

636
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 4: Angeles Dodgers with Tom Windela Minor Leaguer to the Philadelphia

637
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 4: Fillies for Jimmy Rollins. That's just like, that's a sick

638
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 4: trade resume. He was involved in trades with Grondal Kemp

639
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 4: and j Rowl.

640
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 3: That's really good. Shoutout Zach eflin Man. Guy's been around

641
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: the block. All of a sudden, he's.

642
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 4: Been around the block. There was a first round pick

643
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 4: thirty third overall in twenty twelve.

644
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 3: That is really cool. McClanahan looked awesome. I like, I

645
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 3: don't want to take anything away from McLanahan because it's, oh,

646
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: it's the Tigers, but McClanahan just looked great. And I

647
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 3: think that that guy, you know, people are already talking

648
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 3: about him as like a top ten pitcher in baseball.

649
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: I think, inarguably that guy is going to be a

650
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 3: top ten pitcher in baseball by years after.

651
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 4: I think it's already kind of an arguable. But also

652
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 4: when you when you then list out ten arms, I'm

653
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 4: my gosh, shit, So I gotta know, like it's one

654
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 4: of those things where you're like, oh, a top ten,

655
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 4: no doubt, and then you list him out. But that said, like,

656
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 4: I think it's pretty inarguable that he's right there.

657
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that people are are going to

658
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,959
Speaker 3: put Rodan over McClanahan. Right now. But you know, if

659
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 3: Rodan can't make it through the whole season, I know

660
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 3: he's probably due back in a month or two. If Rodan,

661
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 3: you know, struggles when he's back, and McClanahan looks like McClanahan,

662
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 3: I think we're talking about McClanahan cease and Sandy as

663
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 3: the new guard of pitching.

664
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 4: I can I can get with that one hundred percent.

665
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 4: Speaking of which, yeah, I was ho about, could I Sanga.

666
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 3: So speak king of which fourteen arms that threw three

667
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,479
Speaker 3: innings or more in an outing this weekend SAT ninety

668
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 3: seven or above? Think about that? Think about New Baseball

669
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 3: fourteen starting pitchers. There's one swingman in here, Dray Jamison,

670
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 3: who's flat out awesome against the Dodgers. But Hunter Green

671
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 3: the only one to sit one hundred plus understandably, So

672
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: it's Hunter Green. Green. De gram Otani was third strider, McClanahan,

673
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 3: Dustin May, who was great, Sandy Lozardo, Garrett Cole, Jamison,

674
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 3: Dylan Ceese, code I, Sanga, Brandon Woodruff, Luis Castile Sat.

675
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: Ninety seven with their heater. This is a new age. Baby,

676
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 3: enjoy it.

677
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 4: It's fun to watch, man, It's fun to watch and

678
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,479
Speaker 4: a lot of some of those guys are you know,

679
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 4: sitting upper nineties with with run and sink like Dustin

680
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 4: May and Sandy. And what was crazy too, is off

681
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 4: of that heater yet Code, I Sanga throwing that ghost

682
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 4: fork man and I don't know if I've really seen

683
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 4: anything like that. Again, he diced up a Marlins lineup.

684
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 4: I don't care that that pitch, the way that pitch

685
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 4: was moving, that'd be a problem against any lineup. That

686
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 4: was really fun to see, Uh, Sanga we talked about.

687
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 4: I think he could be one of the best threes,

688
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 4: if not the best three three starter in baseball. I'm

689
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 4: excited to see him against some other some other lineups

690
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 4: and you know, really show that off because that pitch

691
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 4: works the lefties and rioties. It's gonna be a lot

692
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 4: of fun.

693
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 3: The consensus around Code is Sanga was seventy five million

694
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 3: dollars was very cheap for him.

695
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 4: I think we saw that right away, one hundred percent.

696
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 4: I got a question for you off of that Mets

697
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 4: Marlins situation. Yeah, Aluisi Loisa Rias is that dude, But

698
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 4: I think it encapsulates like Louisa Rias got on base

699
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 4: four times in the game and did not score. Yeah,

700
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 4: like that is you know like that, you see the

701
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 4: the meme of the Bugatti and like the trailer park

702
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 4: house right like like that, that kind of is the

703
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 4: way it is because I look at what they got

704
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 4: with jash Chisholm now at center field, which is I'm

705
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 4: going to give you a question on that. You're negating

706
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 4: value of your most talented player and having him out there.

707
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 4: I'm here for them to try it. We'll see what happens.

708
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 4: But aria Is is gonna get on base. He's hitting

709
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 4: over five hundred. He looks like he is going to

710
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 4: just pick apart those gaps because he can just flick

711
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 4: balls that are going to land over there, and he

712
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 4: hits it hard enough tour, you still have to give

713
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 4: him respect over the head right like we saw him

714
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 4: footballs out like he's gonna hit it hard enough tour.

715
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 4: You can't just play him shallow. You can't give him that.

716
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 4: So he's still he's going to use those one deepow

717
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 4: gaps to his advantage. I think if he's healthy, he's

718
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 4: gonna win the batting title again because not only are

719
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 4: you going to give him a lot to hit as

720
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 4: a ladoff gucks. You're not really worried about anybody after him.

721
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 4: Go after him if he hits a single strand him.

722
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 4: But there's no reason to walk him. I think he's

723
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 4: gonna hit for the bating title again, I really do.

724
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 4: But that's my overreaction early here. But how long do

725
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 4: you give gas chicks on the center field another bad play?

726
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 4: He was shaded over because of the because of like

727
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 4: this shift or the Q cards that they had, but

728
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 4: it doesn't really matter. He made a play that you know,

729
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 4: I'd say almost every single center fielder, most outfielders probably

730
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,839
Speaker 4: catching stride with brutal dove got by him. Didn't make

731
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 4: a difference. It was five to one already or four

732
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 4: one already. But this will make a difference. And the

733
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 4: Marlins are, you know, trying not to be out of

734
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 4: it in the first two months of the season. The

735
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 4: worst thing that can happen for a franchise like the

736
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 4: Marlins is indifference early in the season. Then no one

737
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 4: shows up and they're already you know, battling with that.

738
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 4: So my question is how long do you let this

739
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 4: this experiment go in center field with jazz chiselm.

740
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, so not much longer. In the play that you're

741
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 3: referring to. He was shaded a little bit towards right center,

742
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 3: and the ball was hit dead center to left center,

743
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 3: and he was running to his backhand, And you're right,

744
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 3: so many other center fielders, I think any natural center

745
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 3: fielder gets a way better jump, even at the triple

746
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 3: A level, gets a way better jump and will make

747
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 3: that catch and stride. What you saw from Jazz was

748
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 3: a late dive and an even later like jab with

749
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 3: the glove at the ball. It was so weird because.

750
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 4: It just got on him way quicker than it got

751
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 4: on him, way quicker than he thought. Yeah, like he

752
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 4: hasn't hasn't seen he hasn't red balls like that. Like

753
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 4: it just got on him way faster. Yeah.

754
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 3: Like, mechanically, I think any baseball fan can say mechanically,

755
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: that was terrible outfield defense. And I think that you know,

756
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 3: Jazz would probably say that that was terrible outfield defense.

757
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 4: No, he'd say he'd say that he was deaking them

758
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 4: or something like that.

759
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, Yeah for sure, Like I thought, you know,

760
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 3: maybe if I let that drop and hit the wall,

761
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 3: we could throw him at a third Yeah, exactly, No, man,

762
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,919
Speaker 3: I mean I wouldn't give it much longer at all.

763
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 3: I ask you, you know, how do you restructure the

764
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 3: infield to get him back there? Do you think that

765
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 3: Jazz can play short like his Wendell, just not the shorts.

766
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 4: That's the thing I'm thinking about, though, is like, Okay,

767
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 4: they moved him off a short because he was kind

768
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 4: of shaky there, and now after you make him try

769
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 4: to sink or swim in center, now you're going to

770
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 4: move into shortstop where he hasn't played in over a

771
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 4: year and say, sink or swim there. Obviously he'll be

772
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 4: better there, but it might not be you know, wonderful

773
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 4: there too. So I would probably say I would ride

774
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 4: it out as long as you can't like, as long

775
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 4: as you can take Joey Wendall at short because the

776
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 4: big problem with this is that Joey Wendall has been

777
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 4: terrible through three games. We'll see how he does. He

778
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 4: needs more time. Yeah, but I think John Birdie is

779
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 4: the bigger you know, and we don't need to spend

780
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 4: too much time on this Marlin scene, but I think

781
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 4: John Birdie is the big factor here. He can play

782
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 4: center at a decent level, and he can play short

783
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 4: stop and that guy led this the league in steels

784
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 4: last year and we're still stolen bases almost up double

785
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 4: on opening day. So that's a guy that should be

786
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 4: in this lineup way more. Maybe they give him some

787
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 4: action at short, see how he does. If both Birdie

788
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 4: and Wendell struggle at short, then at that point I

789
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 4: say screw it and put Jazz there. But I think

790
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 4: you know you already are kind of making him try

791
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 4: to figure it out at one spot. You know, why

792
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 4: put him through that again? His offense is going to

793
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 4: struggle at that point. So as much as it is

794
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 4: tough to watch, I think you got to give it

795
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 4: like a full calendar month. I think you got to

796
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 4: give it this whole month and just see what happens,

797
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 4: because otherwise you are you're gonna be fucking with this

798
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 4: kid way too much. And this is your best hitter,

799
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 4: like at least your best upside ops hitter. You know,

800
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 4: obviously Arise is your most you know, polished hitter, But

801
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 4: in terms of like who's going to take you to

802
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 4: the Promised Land, it's Jazz Chisholm with an eight fifty ops.

803
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 4: It's the only way this team can win anything. So

804
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 4: you know that that that, to me, is just too

805
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 4: much for this guy. So I think they got to

806
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 4: just let it go for a month and see how

807
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,759
Speaker 4: disastrous it is and also hope that they get more

808
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 4: from their short stop position. But what did they think

809
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 4: was going to happen? I said this, you know, I

810
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 4: said this off on Twitter. It's after that play. Like

811
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 4: it turns out a prerequisite to playing center field at

812
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 4: a decent level with the major leagues is having played

813
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 4: center field at all in your entire life.

814
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 3: Like, of course it is.

815
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 4: What do we think was gonna happen? That kid made

816
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 4: some great moves, a rise deal being one of them.

817
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,439
Speaker 4: But come on, like this is just like the least

818
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 4: surprising thing, you know, Like it's just it's just it's

819
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 4: just shocking to me. I feel like other major league

820
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 4: gms and major league front offices have to be sitting

821
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,439
Speaker 4: there and thinking what are they doing?

822
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, like why did they do that to him? And

823
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 3: you know, I think that construction around Jazz didn't necessarily

824
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 3: go according to play, Like I think Wendel is just

825
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 3: an anchor for your roster right now. Installing sucks. Like

826
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 3: I think Nick Foortes might be the catcher y, Yeah,

827
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 3: he looks good. Yeah, so obviously, like you've got Wendel

828
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 3: short if you want to make Jazz the most comfortable.

829
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 3: He's back at second base. A Rise stays in the lineup,

830
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: he goes to first. We know he played first, uh

831
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 3: in Minnesota. But then what happens to Garrett Cooper? You

832
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like Juli Gurriel, that's there's no

833
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 3: way to attach to him, like you can, you know,

834
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 3: nip that if you want. But what happens to Garrett Cooper?

835
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 3: Does Garrett Cooper? D? H Okay? Then what happens to Solaire?

836
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 3: Like there's a lot of just like there's so many

837
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 3: like puzzles, you know, those puzzles that are like within

838
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 3: a box and there's one open space and you need

839
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 3: to complete the photo. It's like, dude, those are impossible

840
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 3: to solve. And that's what the Marlins life is right now.

841
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 4: You know what that's called? What or roster construction?

842
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 3: Correct?

843
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we'll see how that goes. But you're one

844
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 4: hundred percent right, You're on a hundred percent right. And

845
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 4: you know what, I think that the big thing that's

846
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 4: going to kind of clear things up for them is

847
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 4: once Abby Garcia gets relegated to the bench, which I

848
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 4: think is not far away from happening very soon. Right, yep,

849
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 4: sounds like it does.

850
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 3: Sandy bounce back tonight he takes on Kenta Mayita at

851
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 3: six forty.

852
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 4: Yes, I do think so, I do think so.

853
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 3: Couple other arms. Do you have one more takeaway? Because

854
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 3: I kind of want to run through the notable pitching

855
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 3: matchups for tonight. That's kind of something I want to do,

856
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 3: like for every episode, Like, Hey, here's your viewing primer

857
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 3: for tonight.

858
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. Now, nothing really from me.

859
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 3: Sure's are looking to bounce back in Milwaukee's against Wade

860
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 3: Miley at seven point forty sures er, I guess is

861
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 3: pretty interesting there. Dylan dodd is major league debut against

862
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 3: what I called the best lineup in baseball right now

863
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 3: with Al twove out in Saint Louis. Steven Mattz makes

864
00:40:58,200 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 3: his season debut pretty interesting.

865
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 4: I'm very interested in that he looked good in the spring.

866
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Saint Louis the only team through the opening

867
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 3: weekend with the WRC plus over two hundred. Like they

868
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 3: shit on the Blue Jays. They were good top to bottom.

869
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 3: Are you drunk on the Brendan Donovan kool Aid Like,

870
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:14,479
Speaker 3: I am.

871
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, it's clear man, he's been just taking over games. Dude,

872
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 4: Bro's been taken over. How about Burley too, Burl listen

873
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 4: swinging it no one. Gorman looks more refined in the box.

874
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 4: Swing looks way better. His moves look way better. That guy,

875
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 4: I think just figured something out. It's not fair what

876
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 4: they have over here now, Like Dylan Carlson's a bench player.

877
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 4: A bench player, I know.

878
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,479
Speaker 3: Tyler O'Neill was a pinch hit or Dylan Carlson stayed

879
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,240
Speaker 3: in the line of O'Neill pinch hit for burlesson on Sunday.

880
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,399
Speaker 4: I like that a lot, though, because that that that's

881
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 4: going to allow them to keep a lot of guys fresh,

882
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 4: especially someone like O'Neill who's often injured. Even some of

883
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 4: the older guys. Can get Goldie a day off here

884
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 4: and there. You can get Aaron Otto who's not even

885
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 4: really old, but like, get him a day off here

886
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 4: and there. Like they're gonna talk about the opposite. They

887
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 4: can mix and match and the puzzle pieces fit perfectly.

888
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 4: It's like Master of Tetris. The way that this Cardinals roster,

889
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 4: it allows them to move and shake so easily I will.

890
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 3: I'll take my take a step farther. Actually, I think

891
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 3: the Cardinals could build themselves enough capital that by the

892
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 3: time AL two B comes back, even with L two

893
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 3: Bay and that Astro's lineup, they could still be the

894
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 3: best lineup in baseball.

895
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 4: I don't think it's crazy at all. I mean, I

896
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 4: think I think the big factor would be how good

897
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 4: is Jordan Walker and how good is Tommy Edmond offensively?

898
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 4: If those two guys are putting up good numbers, I'd

899
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 4: take that lineup with any I.

900
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 3: Am gonna watch an Oakland A's game tonight at nine

901
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 3: to forty. Sorry, I want to hear Dallas Braden analyze

902
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 3: Shane Bieber. I think that that is going to be

903
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,800
Speaker 3: pitching porn. So if you are interested in that. Bieber

904
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 3: looked flat out unbelievable on Thursday Night in Seattle last week.

905
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 3: I think that obviously he he's gonna carve through in

906
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 3: A's lineup, and I think Dallas Braden talking about that

907
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 3: on the A's telecast is gonna be great.

908
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 4: I like that. I'm actually I might have to tune

909
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 4: in that. And you know, is it in Oakland.

910
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 3: It's in Oakland.

911
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 4: You know, Biaver is gonna just be aggressive and just

912
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 4: he paints, but like can paint with a little bit

913
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 4: more aggression. That's gonna be fun to watch. That should

914
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 4: be minus three hundred by our friends at bet MGM.

915
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 4: That should be That should legitimately be minus three hundred.

916
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 4: I don't know what it is, but it should.

917
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 3: Be that one afternoon game today you tuned in for

918
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 3: Gallon and Darbish in San Diego.

919
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to see Darvish is he is he

920
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 4: thrown yet this year? No season debut, so that should

921
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 4: be interestings.

922
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 3: I'm buying the stock in Rowanzi right now. He makes

923
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 3: his season debut against King Nick Pivetta at Fenway Park.

924
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 4: It's a good chest, that's a good test for Rolancey,

925
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 4: tough place to pitch, not the worst lineup. I'm excited

926
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 4: to see that. The stuff is silly, it's just about

927
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 4: the command. And then also somebody that if you're ever

928
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 4: watching a Brewers game, we've got the next Hunter Pence

929
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 4: who just got called up in Joey Weimer. Joey Weimer,

930
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 4: awesome guy, friend of the call up. He's been on

931
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 4: the show multiple times. Just so much fun to watch

932
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 4: elite power. Brewers brought him up after Arius went down

933
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 4: with an injury. He's gonna take over the outfield for now.

934
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 4: And he's got thirty home run power and twenty plus

935
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 4: stolen base potential. Like he's he you won't see someone

936
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 4: that hits more frantically. He plays like his hair's on fire.

937
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 4: That's why I call him Hunter Pence. But he is

938
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 4: so much fun. I hope he succeeds. But that's a

939
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 4: guy that if you're ever tuned into a game, look

940
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 4: out for him because I can tell you he's a

941
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 4: good dude, and I can tell you he is really

942
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 4: fun to watch.

943
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 3: And he has a legit eighty grade arm like always.

944
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,800
Speaker 4: It's too much. Sometimes he like throws into the backstop

945
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 4: like bro like he's like one of those guys. He's

946
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 4: a big janitor throw guy.

947
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love that.

948
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 4: We love that. No, I'm telling you he's he's a

949
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 4: must watch player. And for the Brewers though, to add

950
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 4: that kind of pop. Of course he's not proven like Arieus,

951
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 4: but to be able to just plug in another guy

952
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 4: into the outfield that can that can mishit baseballs out

953
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 4: of American Family Field, and that's in your your eight

954
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 4: or nine hole with his speed too. This is a

955
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 4: really dynamic lineup now. Terrang has looked great hitting four

956
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 4: twenty nine to start the season. That's my guy. I

957
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 4: think he's gonna steal bags. But they've got speed, more

958
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 4: power than before, good on base ability. This Brewers lineup

959
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 4: is a lot more dynamic than it's been previous years

960
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 4: thanks to a balance of the prospects and some of

961
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 4: the guys that they brought in.

962
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 3: And Weimer is gonna catch a fastball at some point

963
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,399
Speaker 3: and get hit it forty yeah, like and get every

964
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 3: stitch of it, and it's gonna be like Stantonian, like

965
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 3: we're talking about this ball. That video is gonna go megaviral.

966
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. I can't wait real quick.

967
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 3: You assembled your second so rare lineup, our friends, it's

968
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 3: so rare. It's it's the perfect blend between like almost

969
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 3: fantasy baseball and collectibles. It's not daily fantasy because you

970
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 3: set your lineup for the whole week.

971
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 4: Yes, so for those listening now, they would have just

972
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 4: missed on this week. But you can get it set

973
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,359
Speaker 4: up for next week if you haven't done it yet.

974
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 4: If you made a lineup already Week one, and then

975
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 4: those are the cards that you have. And the way

976
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 4: it works is you can either buy cards to you know,

977
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 4: accentuate your lineup or continue to enter competitions with the

978
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 4: cards that you picked last week, and depending on how

979
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 4: you finish, you'll get rewards. So that's I'm learning on

980
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 4: the fly here too. So I finished pretty well with

981
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 4: my last lineup and I got a random common card

982
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 4: that ended up being Francisco Lindor. So now I entered

983
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 4: the same competition for week two and I was able

984
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,279
Speaker 4: to swap out like Jonathan India for Lind'or because that

985
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 4: was the card that I was able to add for

986
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 4: free to my collection. So you can build off of

987
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 4: just the free initial lineup and then continue to finish

988
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 4: well in these competitions and get free cards as rewards,

989
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 4: or if you're really loving this and want to spend

990
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 4: a few bucks, then that's where you can buy you know,

991
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 4: the rare cards or the super rare cards that can

992
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 4: put you into competitions where you can win you know,

993
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 4: thousands of dollars in ethereum, and then also you get

994
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 4: card rewards that are worth a lot more too.

995
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 3: Ethereum where you're gonna be Armlton dot.

996
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 4: Dot eth No if I come in first maybe, but

997
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,879
Speaker 4: you know so, I'm still doing the free competition. It's

998
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 4: the minor league competition. I think it's called the Miners,

999
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 4: but join that. Send me your lineups and a few

1000
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 4: people DM me their lineups. I love it. Keep in

1001
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 4: mind if you if this is the first lineup you're making,

1002
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 4: these will be the cards that you have as your

1003
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 4: baseline for the season. But you will get a ton

1004
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 4: of rewards as you continue to put together decent lineups,

1005
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 4: get better cards. And that link is in the description

1006
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,240
Speaker 4: so that they know that we sent you. That's always

1007
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 4: very helpful as well. But so rare is a lot

1008
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 4: of fun. I'm honestly like you know, I know when

1009
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,479
Speaker 4: we do partnerships and things like that, you know, people

1010
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 4: might think, oh, they're just pushing something. This is one

1011
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 4: that I actually know, I'm good. Yeah, this is one

1012
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 4: that I actually am going to be playing a lot

1013
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 4: and have a lot of fun with. And I'll kind

1014
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 4: of share what I'm warning. I already did buy my

1015
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 4: first card though, but I'm going low budget. I bought

1016
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 4: a rare Michael Mass so I'm trying to buy like

1017
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 4: the rare cards that I think are going to be

1018
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 4: cheaper because people don't realize they're about to go off.

1019
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 4: I'm gonna buy a gram Ashcraft soon too enter those

1020
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 4: higher stake competitions. But also in the meantime, I'm trying

1021
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 4: to build up my collection with those common cards, and

1022
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 4: I gotta Lindor which is gonna help me. We'll see

1023
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 4: if I can finish high enough to get another good

1024
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 4: common card and try to finish higher this week.
