1 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 1: There he is into the World Series, right, Yeah, well, 2 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: we have a lot to catch up on. We do 3 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: have a lot to catch up on. And also there's 4 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: breaking news basically as we're starting here about Tonyo Btello, 5 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: which we'll get to in like twenty minutes or so. 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna do World Series first. We've covered that story 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: a lot, and we'll definitely get Kip's perspective there. Before 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: we charge Kip, we're gonna talk more. I guess we 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: could do it within the opening segment. I want to 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: talk about Boba Schett and how you try and welcome 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: someone back like that, and then we'll go over the 12 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: pitching pairing to start the series for the Dodgers. You 13 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: know what, let's just charge and then we'll put Kip 14 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:50,360 Speaker 1: on the hot seat, right charge about all right, so 15 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: we know that the Dodgers are rolling out the same 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: one too to start the World Series, just like the 17 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: n I'll see because you know that worked out pretty 18 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,959 Speaker 1: well for them to Kip. So it's Blake's Snell in 19 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: game one and it's Yamamoto in game two. First off, 20 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: your thoughts on what they're rolling out from a starting 21 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: rotation perspective and how you would try and crack that 22 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: mess it up and not look like the Brewers did. Uh. 23 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 2: Well, I hope Toronto welcomes Bo Bashad back better than 24 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: you guys welcome me back. Just throwing me right into 25 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: the fire, just right into the deep end, immediately, hold on. 26 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 3: No, no, no, before we get into the pitching. 27 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 4: I'm gonna ask you the question then, because because I said, 28 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 4: I don't even know if you can welcome Bo back, 29 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 4: not that I don't like Boba shit, But then some 30 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 4: fans on the comments were like, just put him at 31 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 4: second He's never played second base? 32 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 3: How hard is that transition before we even dig into 33 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 3: the pitcher. 34 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 2: Uh, that would be an uncomfortable transition for anybody to 35 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 2: switch positions, especially in that big of a stage. It's easier, 36 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 2: I guess going from just one side of the infield 37 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 2: to the other. I think he's still a good defender 38 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: enough to where now he's just given more Timebviously, second 39 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: base is going to be the easier position than the 40 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: short stop short to throw more time to get the 41 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 2: guy out. So I wouldn't doubt that he could make 42 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: the transition, But uh, it's not the ideal situation, and 43 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: I do welcome him back, maybe a little bit more 44 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: than you do AJ, just because I think, uh, what 45 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 2: I mean, what do we mean by welcoming back? Like 46 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 2: he's one of the better players. He's in You're already 47 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: probably the underdog in this series, and he's an X 48 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: factor that can probably give you more on the offensive 49 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: side if it clicks right away obviously a big if, 50 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 2: then maybe what you've been getting from those middle infield positions. 51 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: So I think you're going for it if you welcome 52 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,119 Speaker 2: him back. 53 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 5: I think I. 54 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: Think the key here that we've been discussing is George Springer. 55 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: A lot of the comments to what we bring up 56 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,440 Speaker 1: have to do with the obvious or according to fans, 57 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: Springer in the outfield, Barger to third earning Clement to 58 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: second KF to the bench, that is definitely their best 59 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: offensive setup if you're bringing Bo back. But wait, George 60 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: Springer rates as a poor defender. He innings wise, I 61 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: added it up. I think it was about forty eight 62 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: games worth if you're going you know about his total 63 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: innings divided by nine, and most of that was in 64 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: right field. And I think a lot of Springer playing 65 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: well this year, especially down the stretch, had to do 66 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: with him not playing in the outfield. Okay, even with 67 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: all of that being said, Kip, I'd still throw him 68 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: out there if I'm getting a big offensive boost. But wait, 69 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: Springer got clocked in the knee and obviously the biggest 70 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 1: swing in you know, the century here for the Toronto 71 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: Blue Jays, But that doesn't mean that he can man 72 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: the outfield. Pretty big difference between that and what he 73 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: can do at the plate. 74 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: Yes, But at the same time, like think about I'm 75 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 2: just going off my own which is now we're coming 76 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: up on almost a decade ago. But like we put 77 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: Carlos Santana normal first basement out and left field. This 78 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: is when alnl and pitchers were still hitting and stuff 79 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: like that. So it's like, if it's an offensive boost, 80 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: which you're gonna need versus this Dodger team to keep 81 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: up with them their run scored, I think he gotta 82 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: just throw them out there. And as far as his 83 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 2: knee will be fine, AJ canntestas too. 84 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 5: You'll have enough. It's a World Series. 85 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: You're gonna have enough adrenaline and enough doctors on hand, 86 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: enough stuff to get you through whatever game you need 87 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: to and feel great for the game. 88 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 5: So I'm not really worried about the knee. 89 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: Okay, so spring in the outfield, bo Dh, I mean, 90 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: there's still a chance that bo plays shortstop, and he. 91 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 3: Know, it's just it's just, you know, Kip. 92 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 4: In twenty sixteen, when Kyle Schwarber came back for the 93 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 4: Cubs and he had missed all year with his you know, 94 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 4: it's a different situation for me because Schwarber was never 95 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 4: really going to play defense. He was only there to hit, 96 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 4: and he'd been getting at bats for a while and 97 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 4: the down in Arizona, and I know it's not the 98 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 4: big leagues, but when he got thrown back in there, 99 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 4: he had been doing it. 100 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 3: Boba Shd has not as far as I know. Maybe 101 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 3: he's getting a bat here and there, like in sim games, 102 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 3: but he's not getting like. 103 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 4: Actual game reps at shortstop. He's not getting game rep 104 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 4: at bats. It's a different thing. It's just hard to 105 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 4: come back for him. 106 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: Sorry. 107 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: I think if you if you, if you don't start him, 108 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: if you don't put him in right away, I don't 109 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 2: see how he should really I'm in at all, I guess, 110 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: And I think that's what AJ is trying to say 111 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: a little bit unless you have a bats because you're 112 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: not just going to give him. He's not going to 113 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: be a late pinch hit. You're not going to use 114 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 2: him as a late pinch hit in a big situation 115 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: when the guy hasn't seen live pitching or hasn't been 116 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 2: doing that. So if you're not going to use him then, 117 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 2: and if you don't start him at the beginning, then 118 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: where is he going to come in? So I think you, 119 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 2: I think you start maybe game one, game two. It's 120 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 2: and listen, you're you're going against an elite pitching staff too. 121 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 2: If these are your first at bats back, good luck. 122 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 2: But it's it's hard, but anything goes and anything can happen. 123 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 5: It's just I. 124 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 2: If you're not getting anything maybe from I KF or 125 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 2: whoever has been there or something, I'm just going off 126 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: of what they've been doing. Then it's like you don't 127 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 2: really have much to lose. And you tried it early 128 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 2: and then you can switch later switch the second half. 129 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you got to read you have to you're 130 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 4: down a couple of games. This isn't right, that's what 131 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 4: do you have to lose? You just have this thing 132 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 4: called the World Series to lose. 133 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: Kid, Yeah, and I, but I also don't want to 134 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 2: be there if you're down with say you're down three 135 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: to zero and then you finally put him in and 136 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: he has a big game, and you're like, well, we 137 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 2: should have done this much earlier. So I'd rather know 138 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 2: ahead of time or as early as possible, what we 139 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 2: have in him. 140 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess fair, And I. 141 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: Know Barger can play third man. He's played really well infield. 142 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: He's had a great I mean that defensive outfield for 143 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays has been really good. 144 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 4: I don't know that I would want to mess with that. 145 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 4: And Jim and az An Ikf in the middle are 146 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 4: really good too. Yeah, as we get the Ikf whenever 147 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 4: they turned the double play, does the. 148 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what the fly ball percentage is, but 149 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure it's sky high. I mean, the Dodgers are 150 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: a top three home run hitting team, Like you want 151 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 1: the outfield tight. But anyway, let's go over a couple 152 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 1: other notes from the series. Mike Petriello putting out some statistics. 153 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: I thought this one was interesting, And Mike's a big 154 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: proponent of slug over contact. That's a little precursor here, 155 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: but he does do really good research on topics like this, 156 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: where he said the Jays offense has the fourth highest 157 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: October slugging percentage since nine teen sixty nine. So as 158 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: much as they make contact, they are also making very 159 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: good contact. It's damage contact. They're going against Dodgers pitching, 160 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: which has the second lowest October slug in percentage allowed 161 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: since nineteen sixty nine. He said, forget small bombss. This 162 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: series is going to come down to whether Toronto bats 163 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: keeps slugging versus an elite LA rotation. I mean, that's cool, 164 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: that's historical information to point out how good the Dodgers 165 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: have been preventing damage and how the Blue Jays starters right, 166 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: especially their starters. But I think it's underrated. Like we 167 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: look at the Blue Jays like it. They're not just hitting. 168 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: I mean they have singles, but there's a lot of 169 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: doubles and homers in there too. 170 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, there are more facing the Dodgers pitching either, right, 171 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 4: So starters the facing. 172 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 3: Snell Yamamoto. 173 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 4: Show, Hey, Glass now they don't give up damage a lot, 174 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 4: and Snow we already talked about dominated them earlier this year. 175 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 4: I mean Glass now dominated them. He didn't get a decision, 176 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 4: but dominated them, y'all. Moto hasn't seen them, so it's 177 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 4: a little different, you know, show he hasn't seen him 178 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 4: in a few years. But it's a different thing. I mean, listen, 179 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 4: we talked about this yesterday. Can the can the Blue 180 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 4: Jays starters match the Dodger starters and to make it 181 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 4: a battle of the bullpen because both bullpens aren't terrific, 182 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 4: And then can the lefties of the dog of the 183 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 4: of the Jays who didn't get to pitch a whole 184 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 4: lot against the Mariners because they're so right hand dominant, 185 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 4: little and flew hardy and if they use lour come 186 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 4: in and the gate show, Hey, Munsey and Freddy, that's 187 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 4: where it's gonna That's kind of the margins you're looking 188 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 4: for if you're the Blue Jays. 189 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: I mean, the thing also is, Kip, you need a 190 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: starter to be off right, like those guys are amazing. 191 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: They're not going to do that every single start. Y'amamoto 192 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: had a blit, not the last start to start before 193 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: right the Reds. 194 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, against the Phillies. 195 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: Against the Phillies, yeah, yeah, Reds. He had the first 196 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: inning issue was more tasker and its fault and then 197 00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 1: the Phillies got to him a little bit. So you 198 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: need one of those where it's like, eh, command's not 199 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: as sharp or he's missing a pitch right now, and 200 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: then they capitalize. 201 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, you need them to be off. 202 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: But again, this starting rotation is that good at keeping 203 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 2: down the slug and you kind of have to force 204 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 2: your way to make them off a little bit. You 205 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: got to take your singles, you got to create a 206 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 2: little havoc on the bass pass, you got to find listen. 207 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 2: Is this kind of I say this a little bit 208 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 2: about like whether the Yankees have done where they kind 209 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 2: of live and die too much by the home run 210 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: ball at times, and you just don't want it all 211 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: to come down to whether Vladdy hits a home run 212 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 2: or Springer hits a home run. You got to create 213 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 2: runs in another way and force that pressure. Because if 214 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: it's coming down and just home runs, this pitching staff 215 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 2: does such a good job at eliminating that. So they 216 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 2: throw too hard and their stuff's too nasty, So you 217 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 2: really got to find other ways to score sometimes and 218 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: not just count on the long ball. 219 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: Well, we got a super chat here from Music to 220 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 1: My Ears, Shane Bieber has three pitches which could be 221 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: affected against the Dodgers, but not where he places them 222 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: curve slider and change ups start low and low seventy 223 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: percent of the time, or not swinging at low pitches. 224 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: A Dodger fan here commenting on Shane Bieber's game. 225 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 4: Well, that's a long ways away. But yeah, listen, one 226 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 4: thing about the Dodgers. They don't chase a whole lot. 227 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 4: You have to try to get him out on the 228 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 4: strike zone or strike the ball, and they do a 229 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 4: good job eliminating a lot of different pitches. And that's 230 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 4: going to be another thing, Like with even with Gosman, 231 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 4: how will they handle that split that he throws right 232 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 4: Game two? You savage with the split we saw the 233 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 4: Marriers made an adjustment and kind of laid off of that. 234 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 3: They got better as they saw him, especially the second 235 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 3: time he saw him, right. 236 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 4: So can they Can the Dodgers do this for the 237 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 4: first time they see a lot of these Dodgers have 238 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 4: seen Kevin Gosman a lot because he's been around for 239 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 4: so long. So but they Yeah, the Dodgers are really 240 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 4: good at this, and the Blue Jays are blue Jays 241 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 4: are good at it. 242 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 3: The differences between the Dodgers and the Blue Jays. 243 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 4: When the Dodgers do it, it seems like they build 244 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 4: pitch counts up. The Blue Jays do it by swinging 245 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 4: earlier in the count and not getting to two strikes 246 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 4: a lot of times, and that's why their contact rate 247 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 4: is higher. 248 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: I think you got to keep with that or don't 249 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: let those guys get ahead, right they're going to fill 250 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: up the zone, then go for it. And if it 251 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: doesn't work out one of the games and a pitch 252 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: counts that nothing and the guy deals with the complete game, 253 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 1: oh well, you know, out of the next all and 254 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: fall where he wanted it to.

I faced Kevin 320 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 4: Gosman back then. It was a lot different than what 321 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 4: he now. 322 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like I had a when Wade Davis went 323 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 2: from Starter to Closer and they're like, oh, you own 324 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 2: this guy, go get.

Yeah, 327 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: pictures evolve. I do think that's helpful. Sometimes that does happen, 328 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: and we probably get fooled by it where we're like, oh, 329 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: he's got great numbers.

I don't really care. I mean, that's 353 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: pretty common where. But he's just pointing out that, at 354 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: least according to his sources, Tony Vitelo will make less 355 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: per season to start here with San. 356 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 3: Francisco play pro ball. 357 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: No, no, he did not. 358 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 3: He has no pro experience at all. 359 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, like not even like I could like, at least 360 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 4: Murph played a little bit, you know, a Murph coach 361 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 4: for a while, and he went from you know, then 362 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 4: he was a bench coach before you know, he did 363 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 4: a bunch of things in the minor leagues, managed in 364 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 4: the minor leagues and stuff before he got a job. 365 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 4: But to go right from college to the big leagues, man, 366 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 4: I don't know care if you're gonna have talk on this. 367 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 4: I didn't go to college. But you don't have to 368 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 4: run a spring training in college. You can't threaten kids 369 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 4: with today if you don't, if you don't do what 370 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 4: I say, I'll make you transfer and take your scholarship. 371 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 3: There's none of that. You get what you get in college. 372 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 3: You get to pick the players. Man. 373 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 4: You get to say I'm recruiting you, and I'm recruiting you, 374 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 4: and I'm recruiting you. In the big leagues, they just say, 375 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 4: here's your team, go play with them. 376 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: And it's short term too. In college, I mean in 377 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: the big league sometimes you might have a guy for 378 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: ten years. You got to be really careful about how 379 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: you manage relationships. All right, So enough from us. Kip 380 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: played college ball and you actually played for Pat Murphy, 381 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: who did not do this a direct route. Brewers manager 382 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: spent plenty of time in the big league bench coach 383 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: a whole deal. But anyway, give us the context of 384 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: how you think this is going to play out. 385 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 2: I think it's going to play out. It's going to 386 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 2: play out well. But it's because the same way for Murf. 387 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 2: Murph is a players manager. He is someone who gets 388 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,120 Speaker 2: the team together. You want to play hard for him. 389 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 2: People guys like playing for Murph. I think that's a 390 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 2: big thing here that I've seen with Matello is it 391 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 2: looks like guys like playing for him. He's going to 392 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: have his bumps and bruises on how to run the 393 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 2: big league team compared to a college team. Obviously, but 394 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 2: this kind of strikes me as and I want to 395 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: get both yours. 396 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 5: Thoughts on this right back to you. 397 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: Is this a he checks the box of players want 398 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,399 Speaker 2: to play for him like a murph. But this is 399 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 2: also where a new guy with no grounds or no 400 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 2: pillars to stand on can kind of be just a 401 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 2: yes man for the front office to make the lineups 402 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 2: and all that stuff too. 403 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 3: Well, that's who we don't know. The most fascinating thing 404 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 3: to me is like a. 405 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 2: Little bit to me, And I don't want to discredit 406 00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: Ptello before he's even started or anything like that, or 407 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 2: saying that he can't make his own moves. But it's 408 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 2: like you see a lot of front offices and kind 409 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 2: of where the old school where the manager makes all 410 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: the decisions just isn't isn't around as much. 411 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 4: Well, you go for making all the decisions to making 412 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 4: almost no decisions, right is from a college to a 413 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 4: big league manager. I'm not saying you don't make any decisions, 414 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 4: but they're they're limited. 415 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 2: But it'll still be a players guy that that enjoys 416 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 2: it and looks like he's had success wherever he's gone 417 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 2: and looks like guys would like to play for him. 418 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 2: So when you can check that box, front office sees 419 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 2: that and then they can just do the other stuff 420 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 2: that they want to do. 421 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 5: The hiring makes sense. 422 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, but that can only take you so far being 423 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 4: being a nice guy. I mean, come on, I played 424 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 4: for you played for nice guys. I played for nice guys, 425 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 4: guys you want to play for. Robin Ventura was the 426 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 4: nicest guy in the world, and you want to play 427 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 4: for him. But he wasn't a great manager like that. 428 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 4: That's to me is you have to have that Joe 429 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 4: Madden people love playing for some people hated playing for 430 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 4: Joe Madden, but he got the most out of people 431 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 4: and he knew how to do that. 432 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 2: This guy, I like having a guy with He has 433 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 2: managerial experience, whether it's is at the college levels, so 434 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 2: you're is gonna have to see the nuances of the 435 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 2: game and how different it is from the big leagues 436 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 2: to the college game. But I do like someone with 437 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 2: managerial experience over maybe say a former player to start 438 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 2: right away. 439 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 4: My two cents, The biggest thing is who's he gonna hire. 440 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 4: Who's he gonna hire as a coach. That's a huge thing. 441 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 4: I've got to have veteran coaches, right He's guys, have 442 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 4: a veteran bench coach, veteran pitching coaches, Guys that have 443 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 4: been around. 444 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 3: Because if he just goes out and says, oh, I'm. 445 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 4: Just gonna bring my Tennessee staff over here, and they're like, hey, 446 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 4: spring training starts next week. 447 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 3: What's the plan. 448 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 4: Oh, well, just scrimmage every day like they do in college. 449 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,719 Speaker 4: Like that's not how it works exactly, you know, like 450 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 4: that's where it's gonna be. How do I run a bullpen? 451 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 4: You know, in the big leagues you have twenty six guys. 452 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 4: In college you have well, it used to be like 453 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 4: forty guys. Now it's not a thirty six inning. Yeah, 454 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 4: so many more options. You know, guys only pitch once 455 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 4: a week. Who do I set up here and there? 456 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 4: I'm not I don't have to recruit guy. I don't 457 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 4: know it's gonna It's fascinating to me. This is a 458 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 4: fascinating hire, good or bad, however it works out. 459 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: Here's the one thing where I disagree with people that say, 460 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: why would he lead there? I mean, he's a coach 461 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: slash manager. Just because he's doing this successfully at Tennessee 462 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,479 Speaker 1: for years doesn't mean that he doesn't have goals of 463 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: being a big league manager and winning a World Series. 464 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: How many kids grow up and say I want to 465 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 1: win a World Series versus how many kids grow up 466 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: and say I want to win a college World Series. 467 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: You always start with World Series. So I don't want 468 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: to discount that part, Kip. I mean, is he taking 469 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,679 Speaker 1: a pay cut? Maybe probably right according to the report, 470 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: but he might have gotten more than three years, so 471 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: there's still some security there. And he spent eight seasons 472 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: already at Tennessee. He's won there, like you kind of 473 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: accomplished it all. You have to deal with more of 474 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: the nil crap now, which a lot of college coaches 475 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,239 Speaker 1: that have a lot of power get pissed about. So 476 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: it makes sense to me. You get to be under 477 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: Buster Posey, who is a very different front office exec 478 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: from most of the others. And he played and he 479 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: has a lot of respect for the college game. He 480 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: loved his time at FSU. So to me, it all 481 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: adds up. It makes sense. And here's the cherry on 482 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: top for me, Ki Tony Vytello is going to be 483 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: known forever as the guy that did this, and if 484 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: he does this successfully, he will pave the way for 485 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: others to do this and will be a pioneer. That's cool. 486 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: That's a legacy building moment. 487 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: Oh, I don't question at all why he's doing it. 488 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 2: I completely understand his side. I comp it is such 489 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,959 Speaker 2: a big jump, and like you said, the personal goals 490 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 2: and aspirations and you want to be a World Series 491 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 2: manager and you want to be a major league manager. 492 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 2: The guy's taking a pay cut to do it. That 493 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 2: is absolutely The goal is to get to the big 494 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 2: leagues in any aspect of the sport. So no, I 495 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 2: don't question why Vitel's doing it. And there will be 496 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 2: the entire rest of the league will be watching how 497 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 2: this plays out to see if it can work or not, 498 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 2: and then that'll open up the floodgates to more college 499 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 2: coaches maybe doing it down the road if this works out. 500 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: Let's take you through the arena club slab pack experience. 501 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: This is part two because Todd Father last week pulled 502 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: a card that he didn't love, yet he sold it 503 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: back for actually more than what the slab pack cost. 504 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: This time pulls a card that he likes. 505 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, and this is the best part of it. Ronnie 506 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 7: Mauricio and Me's stand out, you know, rookie sensation. He's 507 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 7: been absolutely phenomenal. I like the itch of seeing what 508 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 7: you're gonna get, you know, I like prospects I don't 509 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 7: love them, but seeing this kind of card is actually 510 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 7: absolutely beautiful thing. I know a couple people around town 511 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 7: that would absolutely love that card. So there's gonna be 512 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 7: a lot of conversations going on here for Arena Club. 513 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: And what you do is you have it in your 514 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: digital showroom. If you want to hand it out locally, 515 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: then cool. You ask Arena Club to send it to 516 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: you and they do, or you can sell it back 517 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: like you see there instant offer for one hundred and 518 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: ninety three bucks. But he's keeping it, And you can 519 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: do what Todd father does by going to Arena club 520 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,239 Speaker 1: dot com slash foul and getting twenty percent off your 521 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: first card purchase or your first slab pack purchase. What 522 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: do you think is going to be the toughest thing 523 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: for him at the jump? Like Lancelyn's on this show 524 00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: sometimes and I heard him the other day on the 525 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: radio say that the speech in spring training for him 526 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,959 Speaker 1: actually matters more than most because it's different and you 527 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: just want to hear what he has to say and 528 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: just the way that he's perceived right from the jump 529 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: in spring training, like, hey, let's give this guy a chance. 530 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: He has had a lot of success. Do you think 531 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: that you know something in spring training really matters, Like 532 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: what's the moment where it's going to be like, Okay, 533 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: he's got these guys. 534 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 5: I think he's going to be good at that. 535 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 2: I think it's going to be more comes down to 536 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: what AJ was saying, more about running a bullpen, running 537 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 2: an organization, almost a big league team for the first time, 538 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 2: rather than a college team. I think the differences of those, 539 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 2: I think is what it's going to come down to. 540 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 2: I think he'll get the room behind him and with 541 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 2: a good speech, and he'll have the respect of the 542 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 2: guys by it before the season starts. But it'll be 543 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,959 Speaker 2: interested to see maybe in that first month, let's say 544 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 2: April comes around, and you see maybe make a couple 545 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 2: wrong moves or put in the wrong guys, or start 546 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: different players that aren't supposed to be starting. It's like 547 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 2: that's when you'll start to question it. But going into it, 548 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 2: I think he'll be He'll be fine with getting the 549 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 2: team behind him. 550 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 4: I just I think it starts now. The minute he's hired. 551 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 4: He's gonna start having to reach out to guys. I 552 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 4: feel like he's gonna start reaching out to Logan Web 553 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 4: and Raffie Devers and Williadomas and getting getting them on 554 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 4: his side. You know, I mentioned Robin Ventura before. One 555 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 4: of the things I think where Robin messed up is 556 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 4: my I was there his first year. He didn't call 557 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 4: anybody in the offseason because he's like, oh, I didn't 558 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 4: want to see act people like I was playing favorites 559 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 4: or anything.

They were kind of stuck in 591 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: the mud in my mind for several years after that 592 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season.

What did I see here? 628 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: A little note on Bolpi, the most talked about ady 629 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: ops plus of all time. Chris Kershner with the tweet, 630 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: spoke with an orthopedic surgeon about a surgery. Big takeaways 631 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 1: that would happen immediately after the quarter zone injections probably 632 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: indicates how much his shoulder affected his season. That that also 633 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: means excuses are now over. I disagree. Which has been 634 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 1: the same player for three years. It is the same 635 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 1: player for three years, Kip. He's also now going to 636 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 1: be coming off shoulder surgery, which is actually always almost 637 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: always an issue for players often coming off shoulder surgery 638 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 1: as a bat is usually an issue, And where the 639 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 1: hell were the Yankees on this not realizing that his 640 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: shoulders messed up and it was causing a problem. Like, 641 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: I don't know. This whole story is trash to me, 642 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: and if I'm a Yankee fan, yeah, I want to 643 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: move on. 644 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 5: Do I think it affected him? 645 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 2: Yes, But I think if you're good enough to play, 646 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 2: that means you're good enough to hit BP, hitting the cage, 647 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 2: work on your craft, and you find what works for 648 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 2: you that day. So I think this struggle was more 649 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 2: than just a soldier shoulder surgery explanation. 650 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 5: So, like you said, it's been going on for a while. 651 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, Kip eighty one, eighty six and eighty three. That's 652 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 4: his ops plus his first three years in the big leagues. 653 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 2: He just yeah, I mean we saw how good he 654 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 2: can be when he plays well. Obviously, anybody it's a 655 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 2: no brainer comment, But I just yeah, No, it's there's 656 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: enough stats now behind it where something's off or something. 657 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 4: Or he's an eighty or ops plus guy the. 658 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: Guy, Hey, we have a tweet on World Series ticket pricing. 659 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: Joe Pompliano does a lot of sports bids.

Let's 735 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: bring this up from you know, sorry, right from the jump, here. 736 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: I know for the production team mind scenes, if you 737 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: can bring up that tweet from you know, I'm curious 738 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 1: to get the player perspective here and to push it forward. 739 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: So he wrote about how the Mariners had twenty five 740 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: instances where a reliever was seeing a hitter for the 741 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:06,479 Speaker 1: third time in a series, including when Bizardo saw George 742 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: Springer for the third time in the ALCS. He said, 743 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: the Dodgers have had one. Now, I think there's important 744 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: context here. The Dodgers don't have to use their relievers 745 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: as much in the playoffs because their starters goes. 746 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 3: And they've won every series very easily. 747 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: There's that, But regardless, I do want to get your take, 748 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: like you're seeing the same reliever over and over again. 749 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: How much of a factor is that? And clearly there 750 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 1: are front offices that should be game planning. Hey, this 751 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: hitter has seen this picture this many times. Eventually it's 752 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: going to click. So let's try to avoid that, right, Yes, okay, 753 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: no matter who it. 754 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 3: Is, I mean, you should do this in the in 755 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 3: the regular season. Kid Kip knows this. 756 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 4: When you played teams nineteen times, you get the same 757 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 4: lefty ten times in a year and you're like, Okay, 758 00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 4: I bet you I'm. 759 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 3: Gonna figure out how to get some kind of hit 760 00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 3: off this guy. Do something off this guy. 761 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: You know, I used to call Mets spring training games 762 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: for U S and Y, and I remember multiple times 763 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: we thought that there was going to be one starter 764 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,920 Speaker 1: and then they were like, nope, Mets are playing the 765 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 1: Phillies today. They're having him pitch in the B game 766 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 1: or in the back or whatever because they just don't 767 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: want him to see them and what he looks like 768 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 1: in spring training coming up. 769 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 2: So it's all it's all just more information for the hitter. 770 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 2: Think about like a long at bat. He's getting more 771 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 2: and more information every pitch. Now, just multiply that when 772 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 2: he has more and more at bats versus the guy 773 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 2: then and if he's like ag said, if he's tried 774 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 2: new things, if he tried ambushing this time, if he 775 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 2: tried sitting curveball on the left on left this time, 776 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 2: he's just he's gathering information and data, and he's if 777 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,239 Speaker 2: you don't want it to be in the playoffs, if 778 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 2: you're the pitcher where here's a hitter, he might might 779 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 2: have finally found the answer to how to get a 780 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,719 Speaker 2: hit off you, And that's where Aja is saying, it's 781 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 2: just there's sometimes it's just time where he's due, He's 782 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:52,839 Speaker 2: he tried everything else. 783 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:56,960 Speaker 5: You don't want to give a hit or too much information. 784 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: Okay, So how do we spin this forward to you 785 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: the World Series? Like? Is there anything you should keep 786 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: in mind? My big thing on the Blue Jay side 787 00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:08,359 Speaker 1: is to use that variety. I don't think that there's 788 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: a clear cut circle of trust for John Schneider. So 789 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: I know I pushed this the other day with you, 790 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: but I'm like, let me see a little Kevin Gossman 791 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 1: out of the bullpen on his throat. Ay, let me 792 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: see Bassett a little bit more frequently, Like, let's just 793 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: keep throwing different things at the Dodgers. I don't want 794 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,800 Speaker 1: the same game plan middle innings every time from Toronto. 795 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 1: You know, every day Louis Varland is going to give 796 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 1: up some dingers. If he's pitching every game in an 797 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: extended series like this, that's been the case. It's a trend. 798 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 4: I hate to bring this up for Kip, but like 799 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,319 Speaker 4: Andrew Miller in twenty sixteen, he already mentioned it like 800 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 4: they I mean, Francona wore him out even a rolled 801 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 4: as Chatman got worn out until and when Raja hit. 802 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 3: The home run. 803 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 4: He was worn out because he don't if they're pitch 804 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 4: him every game in multiple innings. It was like, dude, 805 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,280 Speaker 4: at some point, you gotta give these guys a break. 806 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 5: It affected both. It affected both. 807 00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:01,760 Speaker 2: H Miller shouldn't have thrown in game five and Chapman 808 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 2: shouldn't have thrown in Game six. I think we were 809 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,720 Speaker 2: a static that we came back enough to get Chapman 810 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 2: into the game, even though we still ended up losing 811 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 2: six and seven, but we got him into the game 812 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 2: on six, and we felt like that was a win 813 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 2: in and of itself right there, because he was gonna 814 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:18,719 Speaker 2: be more tired. More guys would have seen him then. 815 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 2: So there are those little things where you just and 816 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 2: you got to have the two different pitchers. You got 817 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 2: to have one who can get you an out and 818 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 2: one when. 819 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,399 Speaker 5: You need a strikeout. So are there are different ones 820 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:28,839 Speaker 5: there too? 821 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 1: You know who I just thought of. We might have 822 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 1: brought him up once a while back on the show. 823 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 1: But remember Brandon Morow for the Dodgers. 824 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 3: There's a blue jac Yeah, but he pitched for the Dodgers. 825 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: He was a blue Jay. At one point. But he 826 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 1: pitched for the Dodgers in what was it the twenty 827 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: seventeen World Series I believe, right, never came back. Yeah 828 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 1: against the Astros. Right, well, then yeah, he got ended 829 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: up getting hurt. And he did say afterward that you know, 830 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:00,840 Speaker 1: he was also feeling it a little. I mean, they were, 831 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,040 Speaker 1: they were going to him every game, and then he 832 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: wasn't feeling like he had this stuff for one of 833 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:05,919 Speaker 1: those games. 834 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 3: That's what Matt Brash looked like for the Blue Jays 835 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 3: at the end. 836 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: I'm running out of gas, I. 837 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 3: Mean for the Mariners. Yeah, that's why he didn't pitched 838 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 3: instead of bizarre. 839 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 1: Though, they pitched him the day before. 840 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 4: What I'm saying, but he looked tired, right, some of 841 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 4: these guys get tired. Man, you pitch, they don't pitch 842 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,399 Speaker 4: as much. If you talk to a manager and keep 843 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 4: you knows we talk to your managers, I'd be like, oh, 844 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:26,240 Speaker 4: he's thrown. 845 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 3: Three out of four. 846 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 4: Definitely giving him the day off when the playoffs are 847 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 4: like okay, well you can give me one day. You 848 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 4: can go four out of five. Men, he pitched in 849 00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:38,960 Speaker 4: four out of five days regular season, they just were like, hey, 850 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 4: don't even take spikes. Today, we're not you're not we'll 851 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 4: give up this game. You're down to Yeah, you're down. 852 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 3: But in the playoffs and then they have to try 853 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 3: to get it up, that's. 854 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 2: Where it's the most important. Uh, the managerially use of 855 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 2: a bullpen comes into play. The biggest is the playoffs 856 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 2: and especially the World Series. Now you can get away 857 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 2: with stuff during the regular season, you guys down because 858 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,240 Speaker 2: no and no, nobody's going to say no, No pitcher 859 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 2: is going to be like I'm hanging today in the postseason. 860 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 2: So you're always going to have use of everyone. But 861 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 2: it just comes down to how the manager works the bullpen, 862 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 2: which Stringsy pulls. 863 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: Mara pitching fourteen out of the Dodgers fifteen playoff games 864 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. That was his sanity, the trash Can Astros. 865 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: But yeah, it was five. 866 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 3: He was hurt before that. 867 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 1: He was hurt before, I mean the history of his 868 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 1: whole career. And then yeah, that was his moment. In 869 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 1: the beginning of the playoffs, he was money for them, 870 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: and I think he started to wear down of course, 871 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,439 Speaker 1: and then also, I mean World Series twenty seventeen. There's 872 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,200 Speaker 1: there's a lot to it. There. I mean the game 873 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 1: five that he pitched in where he gave up like 874 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: four or five runs. That game was thirteen twelve exactly 875 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: twenty five runs in that camp. I remember watching. I 876 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: was like, is this going to be how baseball is now? 877 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,800 Speaker 1: But anyway, I just wanted to go over the thought 878 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: exercise with you guys on how to play this out. 879 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: The Dodgers definitely seemed to have the easier decision making 880 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 1: for Dave Roberts. As long as they continue this, it'll 881 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: be interesting because we haven't really seen this, Kip. What 882 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,359 Speaker 1: if a starter for the Dodgers does have a bad 883 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: day and you have to script the rest of the 884 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,160 Speaker 1: game or play it out with your believers. So let's 885 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,399 Speaker 1: say a dude doesn't make it past the second inning 886 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,600 Speaker 1: and you got to fill a lot of time cursh off. 887 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 3: And to cover some in. 888 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 2: They are they are set up so perfectly for so 889 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 2: many things with just how good their staff is. It 890 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 2: can handle so many different ways of they're rested, they go, 891 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 2: the starters go long, so yeah, and then they have 892 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 2: guys in their bullpen who are starters and are stretched 893 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 2: out as well too, so they really are capable of 894 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 2: handling almost each situation, and like if if the starter, 895 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 2: let's say game one or two only goes too innings, 896 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 2: they're out of the game. Now you bullpen it or 897 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:56,400 Speaker 2: you go Kershaw Like you're saying you still have Yamamoto 898 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,440 Speaker 2: and show, Hey, guys who are willing, who are able 899 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 2: to go six, seven. 900 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 5: Eight, nine innings themselves. 901 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 2: So that's the luxury of these guys who are just 902 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 2: dominating get late in the games all the time. 903 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,839 Speaker 1: Anyways, it's funny if you're in Toronto, you're like, guys, 904 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 1: let's let's get one of these starters knocked out so 905 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: we get Kershaw. Just sounds funny, he did. I mean 906 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 1: he always puts up good run prevention numbers, no matter 907 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: what the stuff. 908 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,919 Speaker 5: Looks like, and that it used to be not got 909 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,240 Speaker 5: the starter to get to the bullpen. 910 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 2: Well here's here's a Hall of Famer waiting for you. 911 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 5: Yeah. 912 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:32,240 Speaker 1: Good, but stuff wise, I mean, you'd much rather face 913 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:37,240 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw than a good day for Blake Snell, Tyler Glass, 914 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: now Yamamoto or Otani. 915 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 5: True, True, I'm just disappointed. 916 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 3: Show he's only if this game, if it goes seven, 917 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 3: it only get to pitch a once. 918 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: No twice, he'll come out of the bullpen in Game seven. 919 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,640 Speaker 3: Do you think his dream give up, give up the 920 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 3: DH his dream to. 921 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: Do exactly what he did in the World Baseball. 922 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 3: Class, It's got to be Kershaw for me. 923 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,120 Speaker 1: I actually think Shotani, as robotic as he is, has 924 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: one dream right Game seven, World Series, tight game and 925 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: he closes it out.

The number is still 985 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,879 Speaker 1: a large number of openings. Scott Coleman, part of our 986 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:50,160 Speaker 1: Hammer Territory crew, said Mark Bowman's reporting, it seems the 987 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,720 Speaker 1: Braves are down to three candidates. Clubs bench coach Ryan Flaherty, 988 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:58,439 Speaker 1: Downders bench coach Danny Lahman. Who's the third Somebody send 989 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: me who the third one is on there?

But he said he confidently removed David Ross, 993 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: Mark de Rosa, and John Gibbons from the list. I 994 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: remember when I worked with DeRosa at MLB, that was 995 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,200 Speaker 1: like what he was waiting for at one point. That was, 996 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: but that was a while ago.

I don't 999 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 1: know what the deal is. Maybe he's waiting till his 1000 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:36,359 Speaker 1: kids are out. 1001 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:37,840 Speaker 3: Too good of a gig right now. 1002 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: It's a good gig. And also I. 1003 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,839 Speaker 3: Paid a lot of money from MLB to talk really 1004 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:44,920 Speaker 3: well about MLB on MLB Central, right. 1005 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a big. 1006 00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 3: He gets to go around with Rob Manford and hang 1007 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 3: out and play golf. 1008 00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:51,399 Speaker 1: It's a good gig. 1009 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,960 Speaker 4: It's a lot because the Dratetage team USA every year 1010 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,040 Speaker 4: every few years. 1011 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean he's got a pretty good gig 1012 00:44:58,520 --> 00:44:58,799 Speaker 3: right now. 1013 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. At some point, when you know, the the channel 1014 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 1: keeps changing like it does, then maybe he gets interested 1015 00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,240 Speaker 1: in the manager role, because I mean the manager roles grind. 1016 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,800 Speaker 1: The very big difference from doing a little bit of 1017 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:16,240 Speaker 1: TV right a lot more heat. I mean, Braves fans, 1018 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 1: they've got a great team and a great organization. Braves 1019 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 1: fans have high expectations, rightfully so, But Kip, whenever I 1020 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: go on like this year, I'll go on a radio 1021 00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,120 Speaker 1: station in Atlanta and I'll make just just want to 1022 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 1: make sure everyone listening here is aware, like the world 1023 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:33,880 Speaker 1: is not ending.

Like, I get it, this is 1025 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,080 Speaker 1: not a good year, but this fan base has experienced 1026 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: really good baseball and almost every way, sorry you didn't 1027 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 1: have time for that. 1028 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 5: Were spoiled in a good way.

By Tello was the pitching coach at Missouri 1033 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,560 Speaker 1: when Max Scherzer was there. I tell he is not 1034 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,919 Speaker 1: that much older than Max. Max is what forty one 1035 00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 1: ish forty two? I tell he's forty seven. But anyway, 1036 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 1: Max said, I absolutely believe in him. He's to this 1037 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,760 Speaker 1: day one of my closest friends, and I absolutely believe 1038 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 1: he's going to get it done at the big league level. 1039 00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:32,239 Speaker 1: It sounds like at some point we're gonna have to 1040 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 1: talk to forty one year old Max about toy Bytello. 1041 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 1: Max a little busy right now. He's got a World 1042 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 1: Series that he's going to pitch in. 1043 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 3: M He's a little busier right now. 1044 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, but mac Max is a big fan of foul 1045 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 1: Territory as well, so we'll get him probably right after 1046 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 1: World Series, I would say at this point to recap 1047 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 1: it right. 1048 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:52,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1049 00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1050 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 4: By the way, I got a couple of birthdays that 1051 00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 4: we have to shout out. One, Yes, Carbon Burns used 1052 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,640 Speaker 4: to be my favorite player, but not anymore. Two, eat 1053 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:08,640 Speaker 4: your row. Three Brad Thomas. If you don't know who 1054 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 4: Brad Thomas is, he was a left handed pitcher. He 1055 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 4: started came up with the Twins. Was supposed to be 1056 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 4: on the plane in nine to eleven flying home to Australia, 1057 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,640 Speaker 4: one of the ones that was crashed. Michael Kadyer hit 1058 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 4: a home run in the Double A Playoffs kept him 1059 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 4: from being on that plane, so he missed that plane. 1060 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 4: He would not be here today. So Brad X team 1061 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 4: made of mind. Great story. And last, but not least, 1062 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 4: Hector Carrasco.

I never figured it out, 1066 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 4: and then they'd have to give him money for his 1067 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,680 Speaker 4: clothing his luggage. So every like every third flight, he'd 1068 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 4: be like, I lost my luggage, and they'd have to 1069 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 4: give him a check for his clothing.
