I 48 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: was telling the guys yesterday we had dinner and we 49 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: were talking about you know, tipping and this and that, 50 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: and uh, you know how people kind of like they 51 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: paranoia is real, right, Okay, click saying, uh, there were 52 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: two years there that we finished last and uh, they 53 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: were all over us. Oh they got this guy, they 54 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: got the bro. 55 00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 3: If we have. 56 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: Everybody like people claim we did, we'll be in first place. Man, 57 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: Like we were in last place for two years. But 58 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: going back to the question, isn't art is something that 59 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: it benefits a player. We're gonna help him to go 60 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: through a process and learn from it. And some guys 61 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: are good, some guys are not. And as you guys know, 62 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: you guys play with with guys that they live and 63 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: die kind of like with tips and tails, right, Like, Hey, 64 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: if you give me five pitches, I'm good, right, Sean Green, 65 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: you say give me three out of ten, I'll take 66 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: advantage of it. But to see the ball hit the ball, 67 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: especially now ninety seven ninety eight sing cut right, it's 68 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: really it's hard man. So any advantage man we can, 69 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: we can give to our hitters, help them in the 70 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: vitor room and kind of study guys. We'll do it. 71 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: We'll do it. I thought for sure two things. 72 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: First of all, I thought, for sure, you bring Alex 73 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: Cintron in here, because when I played with Alex Centron, 74 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: he said he had every. 75 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Guy, had everybody, but he hit one eighty. 76 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: I'm like, imagine how bad you would have been if 77 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 2: you didn't have everyone's pitches, dude. 78 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: Jerry Corus having the Alex Center experience now in Team 79 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: Puerto Rico as a coach, Alex is a bench coach. 80 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: Joey's the third base coach. Bro I mean like he 81 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: is the whole experience play together. I got him, I 82 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: got him, I got no we score one run or 83 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: two runs against we don't have everybody he uh. And 84 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: then the other thing is is Bregman. 85 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 2: Bregman was big because there is good about finding things right, 86 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: because he'll and then he tells teammates too. 87 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: Like, hey, you know who you know? Alex was good. 88 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: Roberto Alomar. I played with him in winter ball and 89 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: he was excellent about it. But like you guys know, 90 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: sometimes you try like do I see it? 91 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 3: You know? 92 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: And no, he's making that up. No, it worked for him. 93 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: You know, likes you have your check points, you have 94 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: your ideas, and you're convicted about it. But uh not 95 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: everybody has everybody man, Like, I'm not telling you. 96 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 2: Centron told me he had every pitch and I'm like, dude, 97 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: you hit one a any bro. 98 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't work nough. But hey man, you gotta pay 99 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: attention to the ship too. That's true. 100 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 4: Pictures, Yeah, for sure, for sure we were hit on 101 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 4: Alex Bragman. There just one more. I thought it was 102 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 4: a slam dunk. 103 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: What is that? 104 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 4: What is that off season like for you? Because you're 105 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 4: saying you saw firsthand the connections he made with those 106 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 4: young guys. What is that off season like for you 107 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 4: when you're watching? Could he could he sign here? Could 108 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 4: he sign here? Eventually he didn't end up signing an 109 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 4: he went to the Cubs. 110 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this time around, Scott did a good 111 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: job with Alex coaching him through the process. At one 112 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: point the communication was off, and not in a bad way. 113 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: I think it was more business right. Alex needed to 114 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: do what was best for Scott Boris and for Alex, 115 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, and uh, you know, our relationship is great. 116 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: We we stay in touch a little bit through the 117 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: off season and you know, at one point we didn't 118 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: talk because of that. But uh, that Saturday in Boston, 119 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: it was a tough one, you know, because we I 120 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: thought he was gonna come back. You know, at one 121 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: point between Friday and Saturday, I think I was like, Okay, 122 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: this is gonna happen. And then we were in a 123 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: bowling event, you know, as a team because he was 124 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: fan fast, and all of a sudden, everything came out 125 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: bro Like, everybody left the building and it was not 126 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: hard or tough. It was, you know, okay, what we're 127 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: gonna do now? And credit to correct, you know. Three 128 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: days later we pivot, you know, run prevention pitching Ranger Suarez, 129 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: and then he made the trade right before spring train started, 130 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: Caleb Durban. He's he's a good player. He's a good player. 131 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: We got Monastereo ironic enough, you know, we have a 132 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: better team now than what we had. I don't want 133 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: to say last year during spring training because last year 134 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: we had Raffie, we had Alex, we had Casas. But 135 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: is a good baseball team athletic defensive. We're gonna hit 136 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: and I feel very comfortab where we're at. 137 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 3: I want to talk a little bit about that. 138 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 5: I'm trying not to bring up last year, but you 139 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 5: guys got a little bit of a taste back in 140 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 5: the playoffs, ended up losing in a wild card series. 141 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 5: A lot of different guys, a lot of moving parts. 142 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 5: I know you're looking for maybe another upgrade at second base. 143 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 5: There's a lot going on, Like what's the mindset right 144 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 5: now for you as you inch closer, you know, to 145 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 5: starting the season in major leagues here. 146 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the most important thing is getting our 147 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: guys back. He's been no Roman, no Duran, Noah, Bruce 148 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: Duran is back tomorrow. He's back tomorrow. So we got 149 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: tackle Tuesday for Mexico. Yeah, now I'll get outside. You know, 150 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: our guys back is very important because, as you guys know, 151 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: is the chemistry. We get it, I understand. But to 152 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: get those guys in the lineup and see how he's 153 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: gonna play out, that's very important. And by Wednesday we 154 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: get everybody back, we play them. I think that there's 155 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: two or three decisions that we have to make roster wise. 156 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: The other thing is lineup wise. We talked about it yesterday. 157 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: We got Yoshida, Rafaela, A braw Anthony, Am I missing 158 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: somebody else? I'm duran right. We got five outfielders for 159 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: four spots. Three are gonna play, one is gonna be 160 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: the age. How are we gonna manage that whole rotation? 161 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: And we will make it work. I tell you that 162 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: how we're gonna deploy Yoshida when he doesn't start, or 163 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: a bread when he doesn't start. You know, like we're 164 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: gonna have good players on the bench, which is not 165 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: a problem, it's actually a blessing. But we have to 166 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: talk players. This is how we're gonna do it, and 167 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: then at Tacks Cincinnati when we get there and hopefully 168 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: have a good season. 169 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 4: Rom and Anthony could have been in spring training with 170 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 4: you guys and could have denied going to Team USA. 171 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 4: Do you do you like playing in this international tournament 172 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 4: as AJ calls it, an exhibition, the WBC with all 173 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 4: the superstars, is better for his development? Or would have 174 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 4: been better for him to be in spring training this 175 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 4: year for your team in twenty twenty six? 176 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, we had that conversation and I was a full 177 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: yes go When the Rosa call me. Being around Judge 178 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: and Kyle Schwarber is going to be very important that 179 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: I told him we have a relationship with Alex. I 180 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: get it. You know, he's our guy. We play with 181 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: him and we're gonna hang out with Braggy. But talk 182 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: to Judge, talk to Schwarve about facing lefties. He's going 183 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: to be huge. He's having a great tournament. You see 184 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: the pois Man, the bats. Even in that Italy game, 185 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: right it seems like people were anxious and there are 186 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: bats and all that. He was calm and that's who 187 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: he is. And I think this whole experience in the 188 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: exhibition tournament is going to be only an exhibition if 189 00:09:59,360 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: the USA. 190 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 2: By the way, just so you know, like when Puerto 191 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: Rico loses, you'll say it's an exhibition. 192 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean as much. It means a lot, but you 193 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Like for him, he's probably the 194 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: only opportunity for him to play with Judge. He will 195 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: always play against Judge. He's an opportunity for him to 196 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,959 Speaker 1: play with Kyle. Kyle just sign a big contract with 197 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: the Phillies, they're not going to play together, So having 198 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: that time with them and talk about baseball and hitting 199 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: and you know the other aspects of the game is 200 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: going to be great for him and for us. 201 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 5: To I want to talk a little about Jaron Duran. 202 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 5: He's been playing for a couple of years now. I 203 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 5: actually had an opportunity and privilege to play with him 204 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 5: in the Olympics or in the pre pre trials. 205 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 3: I mean, absolute study. He can fly. 206 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 5: He was coming into his own little bit, a little immature, 207 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 5: but at the end of the day, he's a beast. 208 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 5: And I want to ask you this question about him. 209 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 5: Are you looking for him kind of to take that 210 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 5: next step being a leader on this team and you know, 211 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 5: moving forward because we've seen a lot of really good 212 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 5: things out of him. 213 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: He's important for us. And just reading articles and then 214 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: you know, watching interviews and the people talking about him. 215 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: This offseason, you know, he was a four win player. 216 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: Pretty good. That's pretty good, and that was a bad season, right, 217 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: So I mean, if he shows up here and plays 218 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: like he did last year, he's gonna help us win games. 219 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: The one thing about him he got here in twenty one, 220 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: so he's been through everything here. He was a backup 221 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: player in twenty one. He was part of the roster 222 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: squat or in the wildcard game. So he saw the 223 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: good days and then he saw the bad days. And 224 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: now that we were able to take that step forward, 225 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: we got better. We have high expectations this year and 226 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: happy for him because you know how it is man 227 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: Losing sucks, you know, and finishing last, especially in this city, 228 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: it's hard. He's hard on your family, on the player, 229 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: on the coaches, everybody else. So for him to be 230 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: able to still be in that clubhouse and let the 231 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: kids know how it is is important for me, you know, 232 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: as I always said, Yes the manager is important on 233 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: the big league level, he's less of Alex in the clubhouse. 234 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: It's better, you know, like let the players take care 235 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: of the players. I'll do my thing, you know, making 236 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: sure they you know, they're in the right spots. I 237 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: thought that was Duran. I saw some bad bags, but 238 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, my job is to 239 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: set up the lineup, put him in right spots, make 240 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 1: sure they're good at their jobs. But having Jaron Durant 241 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: the clubhouse is used for us. 242 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 2: You mentioned your roster construction a little bit earlier, and 243 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 2: you mentioned Durban. 244 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: You traded for Monasterio came over. 245 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 2: Is it true that you're trying to go to Pat 246 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 2: Murphy route and go whole bunch of little guys because. 247 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: He won back. 248 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 2: Yes, he went back to back Manager of the Year. 249 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 2: So are you trying to go that route so you 250 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 2: can win the award? 251 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: I mean, if I didn't win in twenty eighteen, I'm 252 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: never gonna win it. 253 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 2: I mean that's the reality one like what one hundred 254 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: and five. 255 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: Games, one hundred and eight or something like that. Yeah, 256 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: but now, good players athletic versatility is very important at 257 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: this level. If you look, people talk about the Jays 258 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: last year, but they were versatile. Clement was amazing for them. 259 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: He played third, he played short, he played second. And 260 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: when you have those type of players, is this here now, IKF? 261 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: You know, like we can use him to help Trevor 262 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: survive quote unquote the whole season. You have really good 263 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: players on the bench, and when you do that, you 264 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: know you can maximize the roster. You can win a 265 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: lot of games. And going back to the little guys, 266 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: man the strike zone will say it plays out. You know, 267 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: maybe it's something that our front office they recognize and 268 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: they don't take advantage of it. But by the way 269 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 1: you mentioned Ike's here. 270 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 2: Did you talk to Carlos Febles, who used to work 271 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: for you here about the base running at third and 272 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: how ikf should have had a bigger lead in the 273 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: whole deal because he was there was. 274 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: Actually I talked to Iksy the other day. We talk 275 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 1: about it. You know. 276 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 3: It is. 277 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: I mean, like the thing is like if Rojas doesn't slip, 278 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: we're not talking about the play, yeah, Or if we 279 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: don't have true media and we can filter our show 280 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: against rities with bases loaded and one out, he never 281 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: hits the line right to third base. You know what, 282 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: I don't have true media in the dugout to kind 283 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: of like make decisions based on the filters, you know, 284 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: and man, it sucks for for them. It's something that 285 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: you know. I know Carlos took it very hard because 286 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: the criticism was. I mean, at one point in the 287 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: off season I have to call him a few times, 288 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: are you okay? Are you okay? And h yeah he was. 289 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: But it's part of coaching it. He stops smiling because 290 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: that did smiles more than anyway. I'll tell you why 291 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: he's smiling right now. He's coaching the Dominicans. 292 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 2: One more game, one more game, you never know, one 293 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: more game then then it will be smiling. 294 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: That's true, that's from now. That's how it works. Do 295 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: or die? Make sure we got to make sure everyone 296 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: knows the rule. It's either an exhibition, exhibition, a tournament 297 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: of the work of the world tournament. 298 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 4: Right, you said, you said less Alex in the clubhouse? 299 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 4: Who's that guy? Since you can't be in the clubhouse 300 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 4: and Braggie can't be in the clubhouse, who can Who 301 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 4: do you feel like today on March thirteenth, can be 302 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 4: that guy? 303 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: Crochet and Trevor Story, those two. I mean what Trevor 304 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: did last year? He played one hundred and fifty four games, right, 305 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: So that that that says a lot right the way 306 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: he goes about it. He's not a vocal leader, he's 307 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: not gonna get on people's faces, but he will show 308 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: up and prepare and he's gonna play hard, which is 309 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: very important. And then you got Crochet every five days. 310 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: You know that that's something that good teams have. Max 311 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: Free last year, Derek Cole with the Yankees a few 312 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 1: years ago, right, he's back this year school ball with Detroit. 313 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: You know there's other teams in the Al East besides 314 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: the Yankees, right, oh yeah, I mean both More is 315 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: a good team too, really good Toronto, They're great Tampa. 316 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: They're gonna pitch this here again. Back to the Trump 317 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: which is painting the butt, you know, But having Cruche 318 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: every five days, that's that's a leader right there. It's 319 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: like Randy Johnson, Bank of the Day, Kurt Schill and 320 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: Pedro Martinez every five days. You know, you're gonna have 321 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 1: that guy that either he's going to extend the winning 322 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: streak or stop the losing streak. And that's a luxury 323 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: that we have. 324 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 2: Well, you also have Sonny Yes, Stranger, Yes, Mayo Crochet, 325 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 2: Viedo Oviedo, that's that's his favorite guy. 326 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: By the way, he loves Oviedo. 327 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 4: That that guy's a hugante man. He's a giant. Like 328 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 4: I think he's very underrated. 329 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: So good luck giant. That is throwing strikes now, so 330 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: hopefully we can continue to do that. And when he's 331 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: in the strike zone, he's up there with the best 332 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: of the best. So we just got to throw strikes early. 333 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: We have a lot of too many Wilsa is gonna 334 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: be loaded. 335 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 2: Why do you navigate the Al East because honestly, I mean, 336 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 2: Yankees are obviously always the rival of the Red Sox, 337 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: but the Blue Jays were a few inches from winning 338 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,719 Speaker 2: the World Series. The Oriols in Tampa's just kind of Tampa, right, 339 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 2: they figure it out somehow, and they you know, they're 340 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 2: in it. 341 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: They will pitch, they're gonna play defense. Last year, I 342 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: remember around this time, nobody was talking about Toronto the 343 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: previous year. They just had a bad season. Bo was hurt, 344 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 1: Laddy didn't play well. George West banged up. Your star 345 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: players played at stars. You know what's gonna happen. You're 346 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 1: gonna make the playoffs. And they have pitching, right, they 347 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: will have pitching this year. Again, Baltimore is kind of 348 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: like the same. It's basically Toronto last year. And with 349 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: young teams you have to be patient, right, Like it 350 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: was like Houston in sixteen fifteen they make it, do 351 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: plaoffs in fifteen. They don't make it in sixteen because 352 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: the league is kind of like, oh, they're good, so 353 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: we have to fucking play hard against them, right, same 354 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 1: thing with Baltimore this year. They have talent. Man, they're 355 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: gonna be in the hunt. We're gonna be in the hunt. 356 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: I don't know how many teams are gonna make it 357 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: out of the Al East because we're gonna be banging heads, 358 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: but man, it is I think all around the league 359 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: is very competitive. We are in a great I mean 360 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: as a sport, we're in a great spot. You know, 361 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: like any night, any team can beat you because somebody 362 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: in that mound is going to be throwing ninety seven 363 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: and if they're throwing strikes that night, they can go 364 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: five or six and then the bull bullpens are impossible. 365 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: So Bro, we go to Cincinnati right away, Ludolo, I 366 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: mean right away, abbot abbot, Yeah, but still the good 367 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: it's a good rotation. Then we go to Houston. Then 368 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: we got the Padres. I mean it's not easy. I'm 369 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: not saying that he used to be easy when we play, 370 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: but it's a little bit harder because of the pitching. 371 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 2: So we just got to be ready. Well, Excorra, thank you. 372 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 2: We wish you nothing but the US and go USA. 373 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go there for sure.

It's our twenty seventh straight year of 394 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 6: releasing this game. It is a computer game, and it 395 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 6: is a strategy game. So when a lot of people 396 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 6: think about baseball video games, they think about how quick 397 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 6: they can be with their thumbs on the controllers and stuff. 398 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 6: But out of the park baseball is all about managing 399 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 6: a franchise, managing a game, managing being a general manager 400 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 6: of a real Major League Baseball franchise. So when you 401 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 6: when you take the chair of the general manager and 402 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 6: out of the park baseball, you know you pick your 403 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 6: franchise and you're in complete charge, not just the major 404 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 6: league club, but the minor league club. You know, every 405 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 6: single player in your organization is under your purview. You 406 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 6: make all the trades, you sign, all the free agents 407 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 6: you you know, you can even manage all the games, 408 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 6: you set your lineups, you'reations. 409 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: It is. 410 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 6: It's everything about about major League Baseball that you know 411 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 6: that you could possibly have to do. It charges you 412 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 6: to do, and you can do as much of it 413 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 6: as you want to, or you can you know, you 414 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 6: can delegate as much as you want to. But either way, 415 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 6: at the end of the day, if your team wins 416 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 6: the World Series or if your team has the worst 417 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 6: record in baseball, it's all on you and uh and 418 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 6: and you've got the entire world of baseball at your fingertips, 419 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 6: and you can be caught. 420 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 4: If you're the one charge of the game. You can 421 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 4: be caught misspeaking at a interview after a poor decision. 422 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 4: But anyway, No, the one person that's not on the 423 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 4: show today has used it the most and that's Scott. 424 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 4: He started using it before we ever made this connection, 425 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 4: and he has used it so much. But you've you've 426 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 4: seen the maturation of this product. Oh oh otp. Twenty seven. 427 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 4: What is the best? What is what is your most 428 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 4: exciting thing about the twenty seventh version compared to some 429 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 4: of the earlier versions. 430 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 6: So it's a great question. So a couple of things. 431 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 6: I mean, number one, what's awesome right now is today 432 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 6: the game comes out today worldwide and we have the 433 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 6: Real World Baseball Classic in it, and this is the 434 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 6: first time we've ever had the real World Baseball Class 435 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 6: Again it when I say the real meaning it's license. 436 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 6: Like we've worked with Major League Baseball in the World 437 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 6: Baseball Classic to have the real federations and the real players, 438 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 6: and that was unthinkable not that long ago, just because 439 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 6: we didn't have the resources available to us to do 440 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 6: something incredible like this. So that that's something to me 441 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 6: that you know, I know, you know, five ten, fifteen 442 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 6: years ago, just that wouldn't have been able to happen it, 443 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 6: but it did now, you know. And another thing that 444 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 6: is pretty amazing when you look at the twenty seven 445 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 6: years that this game has been made, you know, and 446 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 6: you guys have seen it in action, right Like if 447 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 6: you're managing a game in real time, you're you're playing 448 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 6: it and it's being played in a beautiful three D stadium, 449 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 6: you know, with with dynamic crowds and players running and 450 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 6: jumping and swinging, and it looks like real baseball. It 451 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 6: wasn't that long ago, five, six, seven, eight years ago 452 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 6: that when you would manage a game in real time 453 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 6: you would just see a flat screen and little tiny 454 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 6: chest pawns sort of you know, walking around the screen. 455 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 6: Like it's not only has it become really just beautiful 456 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 6: to watch in action, uh, but also now that we 457 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 6: have all of the different three D animations and the 458 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 6: stadiums and stuff, it really it's a compelling experience. Whether 459 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 6: you're you know, you're you're looking at all the different 460 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 6: statistics of your guys, or whether you're managing the game. 461 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 6: It's sort of like no matter where you go, it 462 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 6: really just it's really just looks looks so nice, especially 463 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 6: compared to what it did three, five, seven years ago. 464 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 6: It's it's it's amazing the progress that it's made. 465 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 1: Richard. 466 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 2: I know you guys run simulations on this, and you 467 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 2: mentioned the World Baseball Classic. 468 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: Who wins? 469 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 2: Who wins on the simulation what country wins this year's 470 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic? So that way I know what I'm 471 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 2: looking forward to. 472 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 6: Well, I will tell you this. We've been running some 473 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 6: sims the last few days based upon the current situation, 474 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 6: and I'll tell you this, I don't think it's gonna 475 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 6: be a big surprise. 476 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 3: Man. 477 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 6: The Dominican Republic team looks really, really good. We run 478 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 6: a lot of sims, and I'm telling you right now 479 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 6: these days, the Dominican Republic wins the most out of 480 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 6: all of them. But I will tell you so, you know, 481 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 6: we run a lot of simulations for the Major League 482 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 6: Baseball season, and there's not a tremendous amount of discrepancy 483 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 6: at the top, but there's you know, there's usually some 484 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 6: material difference between Okay, well, we think, you know this 485 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 6: team is going to win. This team with a World 486 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 6: Baseball Classic, the margins are very thin. So the Dominican 487 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 6: Republic is coming out on top of the most but 488 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 6: it is razor razor thin margins between them and the 489 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 6: United States and Japan, Like, those are the three teams 490 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 6: that are when when we run those seams, one of 491 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 6: those three teams is winning almost all the time. Dominican 492 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 6: Republic as a slight as but boy, it's close. 493 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 5: I want to ask you, know, you said you can 494 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,640 Speaker 5: manage a team you pick and choose. Are there any 495 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 5: other different ways that you could play this game? Or 496 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 5: is it all just about managing your way through the 497 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 5: whole process of out of the park baseball? 498 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 6: There are so many ways to play perfect to play 499 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 6: out of the park baseball, including perfect team and also 500 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 6: drive for the pennant. So those are just a couple 501 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 6: of different ways. So one of the reasons out of 502 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 6: the park baseball is so popular is because it is 503 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 6: so big, right, and you literally can manage every aspect 504 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 6: of a major league team, not just the rosters, but 505 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 6: the finances and the scouting and and everything. But to 506 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 6: some people that can and be kind of overwhelming because 507 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 6: running a major League baseball franchise is a big job 508 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 6: and it's very complex. So there's other ways, Like if 509 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 6: you're just a regular baseball fan, right, but you're not 510 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 6: necessarily looking to make sure you know how much your 511 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 6: backup shortstops fourth year salary option guarantee is you just 512 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 6: want to experience the entire history of baseball. You know, 513 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 6: you can jump into a mode called Drive for the 514 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 6: Pennant that allows you to say, well, I want to 515 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 6: go back to you know, nineteen seventy five and play 516 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:33,959 Speaker 6: the Red Sox and it'll just guide you on a 517 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 6: path and various points during the season, it'll give you 518 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 6: a decision, Oh, do you want to make this trade? 519 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 6: Or oh, it's the seventh inning of a of a 520 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 6: tie game, so now it's your opportunity to decide what 521 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 6: to do. Or oh, you know this this injury just happened, 522 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 6: so do you want to bring up, you know, one 523 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 6: of your your your young guys, or do you want 524 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 6: to go try to sign a veteran presence or something 525 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 6: like that. So there's a mode it'll just sort of 526 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 6: guide you on the rails of the course of a 527 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 6: few hours over a season and you get to make decisions. 528 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 6: That's a really fun way to play the game without 529 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 6: having to feel like you need to manage everything. And 530 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 6: then we also have an online competitive mode called Perfect 531 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:20,239 Speaker 6: Team where you can open digital baseball card packs and 532 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 6: you can get current players and historical players, and you 533 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 6: can just set a lineup in a rotation and you 534 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 6: can send that team out to play against your friends 535 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 6: or against a deep pool of players. And there's tournaments 536 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 6: and there's drafts, and there's all sorts of different ways 537 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 6: to just have fun building your team that way. So 538 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 6: there's a bunch of different ways. And the best thing 539 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 6: is you can you can just dip your toe in 540 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 6: the water and have a little fun, or you can 541 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 6: go all in and take over everything and anything in between. 542 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: Richard, I just want to know. 543 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 2: For twenty seven, Todd wants to know, did you fix 544 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 2: the thing where the five white Sox beat the twenty 545 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 2: twelve Reds. Still every time he swears that you rigged 546 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 2: at game when we simulated the game against each other. 547 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 2: So I just want to make sure that you fix 548 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 2: that so if we do it again, Todd can win 549 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 2: so I don't have to hear about it anymore. 550 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 6: Listen, there's absolutely no rigging of anything out of the 551 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 6: bark baseball.
