Speaker 1: one or two things. As we head into a Friday,
Speaker 1: and look, it's rainy, it's miserable here. I just decided
Speaker 1: to stay inside I'm working on black book for football.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know what, I'm not leaving my house today.
Speaker 1: I made that decision. I'm a little tired. It's been
Speaker 1: a long week. What do you got going on this weekend?
Speaker 1: Anything big and fun happening for you?
Speaker 2: Just finding new best friends as I always do. Beautiful
Speaker 2: sunny weather in Arizona where baseball is gorgeous. You're the
Speaker 2: only one complaining. Everyone else's got gorgeous weather. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: watch some baseball, celebrate the mothers, and that's about it.
Speaker 2: And like I said, make new best friends as I
Speaker 2: do in the backfields, which we will talk about here
Speaker 2: in a little bit.
Speaker 1: Happy Mother's Day weekend to everybody out there and any
Speaker 1: of the mom's Washington today also, and of course you
Speaker 1: know it's a weekend, which means it's full of more
Speaker 1: football for me to coach on Saturday and on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna sneak in Mother's Day somewhere around Sunday evening,
Speaker 1: that's my guess. And what we're gonna do. The Rockies,
Speaker 1: it'd be nice if they snuck in some wins once
Speaker 1: in a while, because they are struggle buss the Tigers
Speaker 1: outscored the Rockies twenty one to three and a doubleheader yesterday.
Speaker 1: It's funny to be because yesterday the Pirates moved on from
Speaker 1: their manager, Derek Shelton. He had been there for a
Speaker 1: few years. Some mixed bag results. Obviously not the best
Speaker 1: teams to work with. But I guess my big question
Speaker 1: is how the hell is Bud Black still managing the Rockies?
Speaker 1: And I know they haven't given him a lot to
Speaker 1: work with either, but this is all time embarrassing bad.
Speaker 1: The body language on the players is bad. You look
Speaker 1: at the dugout. It's just a mess right now.
Speaker 2: So how Freedlom was crying during a press conference like, yeah,
Speaker 2: give up on us, And it's like.
Speaker 1: I mean, so, how does Bud Black still have a job?
Speaker 1: What they just don't care? Is that what's going on here?
Speaker 1: They just don't care anymore.
Speaker 2: No, I think they do. But I think it's one
Speaker 2: of those things that the expectations where you were not
Speaker 2: going to really be a winner. What are you served
Speaker 2: by firing mid season a manager for a team that
Speaker 2: is awful when you knew you were going to be awful,
Speaker 2: and what you're building for end of the year should
Speaker 2: be gone, should one hundred percent be gone, but they
Speaker 2: I guess I can't speak to the culture, but the
Speaker 2: construction of the team has been pretty piss poor overall.
Speaker 2: The I don't know the maturation of the young players.
Speaker 2: It's not consistent, you know. I mean, Totally is coming back,
Speaker 2: but Tolia kind of fell off. So yeah, I think
Speaker 2: this is simply just like, oh, just lovable losers. There's
Speaker 2: no reason to create a big fire mid season when
Speaker 2: we were always going to be bad. Let them finish
Speaker 2: it out. I think they move like Clint Hurtle into
Speaker 2: like another spot into the team, and then they'll just
Speaker 2: I think they'll just revamp that Already in the all season.
Speaker 1: Clinton Hurdle already a manager of fire. Like That's what
Speaker 1: I mean. The organization is just so screwed. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: environment is impossible to win in. You can't get free
Speaker 1: agents to go there, especially for pitchers. I know they
Speaker 1: do pretty well in terms of attendance, Like I get it,
Speaker 1: you know, the Rockies are still a place where people
Speaker 1: like to go watch baseball. But until they move that
Speaker 1: team indoors in a controlled temperature environment, I just don't
Speaker 1: think they're going to be able to and it's an
Speaker 1: old stadium too. I mean, was it ninety three right
Speaker 1: when the expansion happened with the Rockies right coursefield, So
Speaker 1: it's not the youngest of stadiums. Right. It was very nice,
Speaker 1: especially for its time. I'm sure it's one of the
Speaker 1: few I haven't been to. I don't know if you've
Speaker 1: been there, but I gotta say, like, at a certain point,
Speaker 1: you have to look at this organization and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: we had one magical run, we had a couple good
Speaker 1: teams in the late nineties when everybody was roight it up.
Speaker 1: What are we doing here? What are we doing here
Speaker 1: as an organization? We're just gonna keep losing, or we're
Speaker 1: gonna get some good baseball people here, get a good
Speaker 1: plan together and figure it out, because top to bottom,
Speaker 1: it's just not working fantasy otherwise. I mean, when you
Speaker 1: can't score runs for Fantasy in Colorado, that's a problem.
Speaker 1: That's a giant red flag. Whodat has a question for us?
Speaker 1: Who do I drop Francisco out? Oh? Sorry? Do I
Speaker 1: drop Francisco Alvarez to activate Ivan Herrera? Is that a
Speaker 1: movie you want to make?
Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to do that. I
Speaker 2: gotta look at Francisco Alvarez. I gotta look at his
Speaker 2: stats because I'm not sure where he's been. My gut
Speaker 2: is to say that I do not want to do that,
Speaker 2: even though I really like Herrera. Alvarez is already over
Speaker 2: a nice three hundred batting average.
Speaker 1: I think he's going to a higher power ceiling for sure,
Speaker 1: probably a lower batting average floor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's a little bit of a higher
Speaker 2: ceiling there also offensively, like the guys are around him,
Speaker 2: like Juan Soto's heating up. There's just a lot of
Speaker 2: RBI opportunities. I'm definitely gonna I'm gonna stick to after
Speaker 2: looking at this, I'm gonna stick to my no here
Speaker 2: on Herrera. There's only a handful of guys that I
Speaker 2: think are justified, like you're not going to drop for
Speaker 2: whether it's Agustin or a guy like Ivan Herrera. I
Speaker 2: think Herrera comes back in and he's like catcher eleven
Speaker 2: or twelve. Francisco Alvarez is probably catcher eight or nine
Speaker 2: or something like that and has a better upside.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the bullpen for a second. Chad Green
Speaker 1: picked up his first save of twenty twenty five, with
Speaker 1: a scoreless ninth inning against the Angels. Now, Hoffman had
Speaker 1: worked back to back games, so they're giving him a break.
Speaker 1: But he wasn't great in those games. So should we
Speaker 1: be on alert here with the Chad Green stuff a
Speaker 1: little bit here for on the closer watch, potentially, I'd.
Speaker 2: See, No, I don't. I think it's always fun to
Speaker 2: pay attention to these if you're in the speculative market, sure,
Speaker 2: but I think they're pretty locked in with Jeff Hoffman.
Speaker 2: He's the guy, so I'm not cutting anything of significance.
Speaker 2: And I think we've talked about a lot of other guys,
Speaker 2: you know, Like I know Shelby is still on some
Speaker 2: even Ginkle. But Shelby and Ginkle are on like weird
Speaker 2: ground for a lot of people. I'd rather have them
Speaker 2: than speculate on Chad Green.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny. I see a lot of folks, you know,
Speaker 1: but Tunda is in there talking about you know. I
Speaker 1: was in you know, Colorado during October. It was amazing
Speaker 1: people talking about you know, it's a great place. It
Speaker 1: is a great.
Speaker 2: Colorado is great. That baseball team is the worst on
Speaker 2: the planet, I know.
Speaker 1: But like, no matter how great the ballpark is no
Speaker 1: matter how good the attendant, Like if you have good
Speaker 1: attendance and you have people who are still excited about
Speaker 1: being Rockies fans and all of that stuff, I understand,
Speaker 1: But how often do we see a team now go
Speaker 1: thirty plus years with the same ballpark, right, Because that's
Speaker 1: basically what we're doing here. We're thirty plus years into
Speaker 1: the same ballpark. And I think it's time to evaluate
Speaker 1: with the mile high issue of the elevation and what
Speaker 1: it does to pitchers and what it does to the
Speaker 1: baseball for hitters. Instead of hating this massive outfield, kind
Speaker 1: a controlled environment make that difference. And I want to
Speaker 1: say that it probably can if you scientifically look into it,
Speaker 1: and we have all the data now and we have,
Speaker 1: you know, really good signs behind a lot of these
Speaker 1: ballparks now in the engineering space to make a better
Speaker 1: environment for baseball. But like it's a little bit more
Speaker 1: even that you could. Know. What I'm saying is you
Speaker 1: can't get Corbyn Burns to go sign there in the
Speaker 1: off season, no matter how much money you give him,
Speaker 1: he ain't going there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I guess my argument, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 2: I think it makes sense but like, what do you
Speaker 2: want them to do? It's a billion billion dollar endeavor
Speaker 2: that would take probably five to ten years to even
Speaker 2: consider and get public fund. Like it's and this team
Speaker 2: sucks and they can't get anybody to get there. Look
Speaker 2: at what just happened with the A's. They couldn't get
Speaker 2: anything and then their their their movement on if I
Speaker 2: don't know how they get.
Speaker 1: Billions of dollars. Area has not been a good area
Speaker 1: for a very long time. It's not been a destination spot.
Speaker 1: You know, Denver is great.
Speaker 2: Everybody in the area in northernt that part.
Speaker 1: Of the Bay Area, the Oakland is not exactly same.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess Alameda is not.
Speaker 1: And I got to tell you San Francisco is not
Speaker 1: exactly you know, the the hot spot it used to
Speaker 1: be either. You know, they've got a lot of issues
Speaker 1: there in that city. So I'm just saying, like, you know,
Speaker 1: the Bay Area, I think that was one where that
Speaker 1: was a long time coming. The Denver area is still destination,
Speaker 1: you know, anything around Colorado in that spot is still destination.
Speaker 1: Still a lot of money going around there. I just
Speaker 1: think it's time I want to ask you about Dean Kremer,
Speaker 1: who was at a seven e ray but over his
Speaker 1: last two starts he's gotten it down to five. The
Speaker 1: last two starts have been really solid. Seven innings yesterday
Speaker 1: to against the Twins, pretty good opponent, eight strikeouts. I
Speaker 1: know the era is disastrous, and I know he's not
Speaker 1: exactly you know, a flamethrowing kind of guy that you're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: Dean Kremer is going to be the next ace of
Speaker 1: my fantasy rotation. But should people be paying attention to
Speaker 1: these last two starts because the last two have been
Speaker 1: solid for Kremer? Is he turning a corner?
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna respectfully saying yes, he's turning in
Speaker 2: a corner. But no, do I have like any outwurs
Speaker 2: in him? Okay, maybe as a spot starter in really
Speaker 2: good situations, I think that's where you can pay attention to.
Speaker 2: But it's a fifteen percent k percentage. It's still an
Speaker 2: expected era that's near four and he's giving up barrels
Speaker 2: over ten percent right now. So he's running into some
Speaker 2: good starts. Maybe he's going to level out. I think
Speaker 2: he's a solid streamer against lower teams like the Rockies.
Speaker 2: Otherwise I'm probably not trying to keep him and hold
Speaker 2: him into my rotation.
Speaker 1: Game over once to know, do I drop Sean Murphy
Speaker 1: four Ivan Herrera that one, I'm more apt to you.
Speaker 2: That one's a lot closer, and I'm pulling up Sean Murphy.
Speaker 2: But Sean Murphy, I believe, at least in the early
Speaker 2: onset was doing good. Yeah, his batting average is absolutely
Speaker 2: tanked again. He's back down to two twenty five. Get
Speaker 2: a big homer run K percentage stinks. Yeah, you can
Speaker 2: drop Sean Murphy for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, So we're gonna put a Rockies poll
Speaker 1: up there, and look, I get it. It's fun, it's
Speaker 1: a nice place. I get it. But the baseball has
Speaker 1: been bad for a very long time. And the decision
Speaker 1: making has been bad too. When you give Daniel Murphy
Speaker 1: a big contract with a no knee issue, when you
Speaker 1: give Chris Bryance a contract of that magnitude, I know
Speaker 1: that was a big investment. They tried to, you know,
Speaker 1: go all in there, and he had a lot of
Speaker 1: health issues and that hasn't worked out. So some of
Speaker 1: the bigger investments that they've made have been disastrous, right,
Speaker 1: not just bad, but just disastrous. So I understand, but
Speaker 1: the problem is you're not really doing a great job
Speaker 1: of prospecting with the Welsh, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like you're you're not bringing up a lot of guys
Speaker 1: that people are getting excited about developmental you know, even
Speaker 1: to the age where they had you know, Carlos Gonzalez
Speaker 1: and those guys. But like again, injuries once again continue
Speaker 1: to they used to take them.
Speaker 2: A really interesting thing too, is like instructional leagues are
Speaker 2: kind of optional and rookie there was like three or
Speaker 2: four years ago the Rockies didn't take part in like
Speaker 2: they weren't having a rookie ball team a complex, and
Speaker 2: they didn't do instructs, like they just didn't take part
Speaker 2: in a lot of stuff that was really solidly developmentally
Speaker 2: and then they changed and did it. So them and
Speaker 2: the Angels have always been a big question out here
Speaker 2: in Arizona.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's get to the Royal something positive.
Speaker 1: You're wit four for five, two steals, a great day
Speaker 1: for him and blah blah blah. Chris Bubach agains the
Speaker 1: White Sox seven innings, picked up another W ten nothing
Speaker 1: victory of the Worlds just powdered the White Sox a
Speaker 1: great day for Boobach, who I think is one of
Speaker 1: these early guys. If you picked him up early on,
Speaker 1: if it went undrafted in some leagues he did. You
Speaker 1: gotta be loving life right now. He's been terrific. And
Speaker 1: Bobby Witt, I'm trying to get himself. I think back
Speaker 1: into that MVP conversation. You know, Aaron Judge is just
Speaker 1: so far and away, just cyborg more than human right now.
Speaker 1: I think that's the best way to describe it. Eventually
Speaker 1: that comes down to earth. But Bobby Witt not missing
Speaker 1: a beat here. What'd you think of the Boobach start
Speaker 1: yesterday against the White Sox.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Boobich is just holding true and this is what
Speaker 2: we've wanted. This is why we were pretty aggressive at
Speaker 2: the beginning of the season to pick him up. I
Speaker 2: watched that first start of the year and you just
Speaker 2: saw how aggressive he was, how that fastball just kind
Speaker 2: of hides. The secondaries were good, and we are now
Speaker 2: six weeks and five six weeks into the season and
Speaker 2: it has been relatively consistent. He is a stronghold and
Speaker 2: I think he's a hold to the level that you
Speaker 2: can take on a couple bad starts, you know, you
Speaker 2: could even if he has like here's a not great one,
Speaker 2: here's a not great one. It's not a quick trigger
Speaker 2: finger like some of these.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like take okay, let me ask you this real quick.
Speaker 2: Boombach or Gavin Williams, who's going today and who's kind
Speaker 2: of had the up and down?
Speaker 1: Who would you rather boom bitch? Yeah? Booh, he's terrible
Speaker 1: for the most part.
Speaker 2: What about Shane bo Shane Boss has kind of come
Speaker 2: back down too. I think it's Boombach too. Eighteen runs
Speaker 2: over the last four games for Boss. The Boss had
Speaker 2: the big strikeout stuff. I think Boobach over him too.
Speaker 1: Here's another all the Herrera questions today, It's Herrera Day.
Speaker 1: Everybody get ready for Ara. I agree August Augustin or Herrera.
Speaker 1: I would go Herrera to better line up around a
Speaker 1: better protection. Let's get to a question from Miktunda. Question
Speaker 1: for you guys Saturday with Toash Bradley, Joe Ryan and
Speaker 1: Rangers swore is who do you choose uh.
Speaker 2: Or Sunday Al contract. He's saying, choose your choose your
Speaker 2: day Saturday, Taj Ryan, Ranger or Sandy Slash Sunday Al
Speaker 2: contra Polanco and Efflyn coming back, which with my league settings,
Speaker 2: I can only start one of those days worth of pitchers,
Speaker 2: so that's weird. So Saturday we get Ryan, Bradley and Suarez,
Speaker 2: or Sunday we get out Contra.
Speaker 1: It's so easy, so easy, Saturday, it's not even close.
Speaker 1: But I do like the name Sunday al Contra. So
Speaker 1: although I would be nice to see you know that
Speaker 1: start as important, I want to see Sandy do well
Speaker 1: against a White Sox team that just got destroyed by Bubla.
Speaker 1: Like Bubola is great, but like Sandy, this is your
Speaker 1: opportunity to take advantage of a subpar line up. I
Speaker 1: got one guy Sunday. Excuse me, Sunday al Contra. I
Speaker 1: want to see a case.
Speaker 2: Of the He's at a case of the Mondays, though,
Speaker 2: so we need to get back to Sunday Sundays over Mondays.
Speaker 1: You know also is at a case of the Mondays lately,
Speaker 1: Jack Lighter Jack Lader gave up four runs, walked four guys,
Speaker 1: five and third innings in a loss to the Red
Speaker 1: Sox yesterday. His last three games here we go. These
Speaker 1: are just numbers with no feelings, just numbers. Last three
Speaker 1: games eight point three one E thirteen innings, twelve and runs,
Speaker 1: ten walks a k's can you say Nepo, baby Welsh?
Speaker 1: Can you say it?
Speaker 2: I still don't know what you're getting out of this.
Speaker 1: I don't think your life is overrated. I'm saying he
Speaker 1: has gotten way tiny chances. I'm saying he is not
Speaker 1: that great and if his name was not lighter, he
Speaker 1: would not be in the major leagues right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just still do not agree with I know
Speaker 2: you want to be so right on this. I said
Speaker 2: he didn't give up foreign runs, gave up four and runs.
Speaker 2: He's not great, Like I'm also gonna say that, like,
Speaker 2: I don't think he's incredible.
Speaker 1: He's not good.
Speaker 2: He gave up some hard He's not good.
Speaker 1: Can we get to He's not good?
Speaker 2: He's in between at best in fantasy. He's like maybe
Speaker 2: a streamer at this point, Like he is showing inconsistencies.
Speaker 2: He was walking again. He gave up four walks of
Speaker 2: feign runs, but he went five the hard hits. Actually
Speaker 2: he didn't give up like an incredible amount of hard hits.
Speaker 2: You want to see more swing and miss stuff, which
Speaker 2: we didn't really get out of this. His slider curveball
Speaker 2: didn't do anything. It was really all fastball. Only a
Speaker 2: seventeen percent whiff rate, which is definitely stinks. Called strike
Speaker 2: rate twenty six percent kind of sucks, but mainly the
Speaker 2: the slider's got to get the workoff of fastball and slider.
Speaker 2: We're both under fifty percent. So like he is a
Speaker 2: below average pitcher. Is he like the worst? No? Can
Speaker 2: he bounce back? I think so with that slider? So
Speaker 2: I don't know, this is a this is a weird one.
Speaker 2: We always do that. It was like, yeah, if he
Speaker 2: would have gotten seven runs, I'd been like, boy, it's
Speaker 2: going in the way of where Joe with it.
Speaker 1: Well, the biggest statistical comp over the last fifteen days
Speaker 1: over three games is Quinn Priester. Do you think he's
Speaker 1: any good? No?
Speaker 2: I think I don't. I don't think he's that great.
Speaker 2: But he is a major league starter. So again that's like, now,
Speaker 2: are these.
Speaker 1: Major league starter for the entire year for that team? No? Way,
Speaker 1: no way?
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: Well they got Logan Henderson rumor coming up again. I
Speaker 2: guess we also have to define what are we talking about? Uh,
Speaker 2: is he not good fantasy or is he not good real?
Speaker 2: I think He's like, he's below average in real life
Speaker 2: and he but he's got a great slider and a
Speaker 2: power fastball, but his command issues are coming back. He's
Speaker 2: worse as a fantasy options. So I don't disagree with you.
Speaker 2: They're like, I'm not. There's a gajillion other starts I
Speaker 2: could have than Jacklider, and instead of like holding onto
Speaker 2: a Jack Lder, you get streaming spots in here. Jack
Speaker 2: is simply a pick on a bad team streamer until
Speaker 2: he starts throwing strikes again.
Speaker 1: Okay, I understand Lighter was a good college prospect, but
Speaker 1: I also understand that he hasn't necessarily lit the minor
Speaker 1: leagues on fire for a very long period of time
Speaker 1: where you would say, yes, this is our future in
Speaker 1: the rotation. And that's where I'm struggling with it. Sandy
Speaker 1: al Contra or Lighter rest of season. Oh Sandy, thank you.
Speaker 2: Even though financially Statilicia.
Speaker 1: Was asking here. So I'm not discounting the fact that
Speaker 1: he was once upon a time a prospect that, again
Speaker 1: from a draft standpoint, made sense. He was a big
Speaker 1: time college pitcher, which brings us to today's Microsoft Chasing
Speaker 1: Challenger segment. Just like the athletes who push boundaries and
Speaker 1: redefine what's possible. Business decision makers today are turning challenges
Speaker 1: into opportunities, and Microsoft meets you where you are with
Speaker 1: tools and guidance to help you make an impact with safe,

Speaker 1: you're facing, Microsoft empowers you with the expertise to say,
Speaker 1: bring it on. And in this segment, we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the challenges facing Major League Baseball teams who get
Speaker 1: obsessed with the last name. Jackson Holliday I still think
Speaker 1: is going to be a good player. Cavin Bigio was not.
Speaker 1: Boba Schett has been very good at times, not so
Speaker 1: good at others. But Jack Lder Jack Glider has no
Speaker 1: business being in that rotation right now. In my opinion.
Speaker 1: Jack Glider is not a guy that has a minor
Speaker 1: league resume that jumps off the page to you. But
Speaker 1: he has the last name that's familiar and is still
Speaker 1: very tied into a big network that has three letters
Speaker 1: in it MLB. And as far as I'm concerned, if
Speaker 1: his last name was not lighter and he didn't have
Speaker 1: the family lineage, he would not get as many opportunities
Speaker 1: as he is getting. He is getting far too many,
Speaker 1: and he has been bad far more than he's been
Speaker 1: good as a professional, as a college pitcher. I totally
Speaker 1: understand the investment. I get it. I understand why of
Speaker 1: the expectations were high, maybe too high because of his
Speaker 1: last name. Perhaps that's the double edged sword of being
Speaker 1: a lighter. But at the end of the day, sorry, folks,
Speaker 1: Jack Leider continues to go out there and get his
Speaker 1: bell rung. And I'm sitting here waiting for my six
Speaker 1: starts in a row where I get to call him
Speaker 1: a good pitcher because I guess what, I feel pretty
Speaker 1: comfortable that period of time has not happened in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, And that, my friends, is the Chasing Challenger segment.

Speaker 2: Oh, I just I just don't know what game is here.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna chang. I'm gonna add a segment and.
Speaker 1: Him as a guy with an eight e R over
Speaker 1: his last three starts that I keep telling everybody is overrated,
Speaker 1: has not done what he's supposed to do to get
Speaker 1: to where he's gotten to, and I like guys to
Speaker 1: earn it. There you go.
Speaker 2: Well the it's I've laughed because someone put in here
Speaker 2: is going to say you conveniently left out Vladimir Guerrero Junior,
Speaker 2: who's pretty good, friend of Tatis Junior, who's pretty good.
Speaker 2: This is some good nepo.
Speaker 1: And then and there's a lot of other guys. We
Speaker 1: can go down the list. I'm just saying what Neo
Speaker 1: baby is. It's getting out of hand of MB a
Speaker 1: little bit.
Speaker 2: I got one for you. Then let's move. I know
Speaker 2: I put this later in the show, but this is
Speaker 2: a perfect transition and it's not Wait, let's wait, Cali,
Speaker 2: if you can pull this up, how about this Nepo baby,
Speaker 2: I got one for you. I was out at the
Speaker 2: complex yesterday, Joe, and we'll just get this out of
Speaker 2: the way, and I saw Manny Ramirez's kid, Lucas Ramirez,
Speaker 2: and I got his first professional home run and this
Speaker 2: will lead to something. Can we show that video speaking
Speaker 2: of let's let's have a Nepo baby segment. It's all
Speaker 2: NEPO baby. Okay, So Lucas Ramirez playing in the Complex
Speaker 2: League getting his first homer. I'm still transitioning to see
Speaker 2: if we can get it here to my boys. Because
Speaker 2: you guys got the video. Here we go. Yeahs do
Speaker 2: you want to talk? And I got a better story
Speaker 2: for you. I love the NEPO babies. You want to
Speaker 2: know why because I'm getting some of my best friends,
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. We have a new best friend added
Speaker 2: to the Welsh list ladies and gentlemen, not lucas well.
Speaker 2: Lucas Ramirez did follow me. But are you ready for
Speaker 2: this drum roll? Manny Ramirez is now my best friend
Speaker 2: because ladies and gentlemen, you can see it right there.
Speaker 2: Not only did he comment on the video look at
Speaker 2: the top, Manny Ramirez is following the Welsh on Instagram.
Speaker 2: We are now best friends. So I just want everyone
Speaker 2: to know it's not just the kid NEPO baby. I'm
Speaker 2: all here for the Nepo babies, but I'm also playcating
Speaker 2: to their father's new best friend. Of the Welsh in
Speaker 2: the show Manny Ramirez, all hail the NEPO babies.
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go. I'm all for that.
Speaker 1: May Or Miror should be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: Kid looks good like the swing. He's got a good
Speaker 1: frame obviously, So hey, I think this is lovely. But again,
Speaker 1: you know, it's my best friend. As somebody who came
Speaker 1: up the hard way. I don't like it when people
Speaker 1: get opportunities they shouldn't get necessarily.
Speaker 2: Oh you know my father, Chris Welsh. The picture could
Speaker 2: be my dad. I am a NEPO fantasy baby. So
Speaker 2: just there you go.
Speaker 1: Look for every major leaguer that's been you know, great,
Speaker 1: uh when they have their kids, there's been two that
Speaker 1: have been terrible, you know, and that never get there.
Speaker 2: But look, yeah, Cavin Bigio has not been good.
Speaker 1: No, I mean, like we can go on and on.
Speaker 1: There's plenty of those guys, but typically we do get
Speaker 1: some of these kids of major leaguers to actually come
Speaker 1: in and be very good. I'm getting in there, you go.
Speaker 1: Some guy named Griffy was pretty good, you know, I
Speaker 1: remember him.
Speaker 2: But you know, like I said, pretty good baby.
Speaker 1: Pretty good NEPO baby, but he earned it, right. The
Speaker 1: guy was unbelievably good. The guy was undeniable. Barry Bonds
Speaker 1: pretty good. Can't call him a NEPO baby, right. So
Speaker 1: a lot of them have this advantage of having all
Speaker 1: of the things in front of them and all of
Speaker 1: the platform in front of them to become great players,
Speaker 1: not just in tutelage, but also in the scouts to
Speaker 1: look at them, whereas a lot of other players don't
Speaker 1: get that right. And I'm just saying, at a certain point,
Speaker 1: what in the minor league profile jumped off the page
Speaker 1: with Jack Lighter where all of a sudden people had
Speaker 1: to go, oh my god.
Speaker 2: But I don't know why we're still talking about it.
Speaker 2: It was a college profile. He's one of the most
Speaker 2: prolific college pictures for.
Speaker 1: But to get to the big leagues, you can't just
Speaker 1: live off your college profile. If that was the case,
Speaker 1: then uh god, what's Nick Senzel would be MVP of
Speaker 1: the league right now? But he's not.
Speaker 2: He wasn't a player, but he wasn't like But again,
Speaker 2: like you're saying, like there minor league, he didn't like
Speaker 2: his college profile wasn't just like he was this average
Speaker 2: cool pitcher. He was one of the best pitchers in
Speaker 2: college baseball, like that was what got him to being
Speaker 2: drafted in high.
Speaker 1: Lever begrudging his draft capital, I'm biggrudging his major league capital.
Speaker 1: That he continues to get opportunities in the big league.
Speaker 2: Which is even a full season.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Again, like I said, if you look
Speaker 1: at the era and you look at the whip and
Speaker 1: all the performances of the minor leagues, a good run
Speaker 1: does not give him again the profile that he's getting.
Speaker 1: It's not fair. Let's go to another subject that I'm
Speaker 1: sure I'm wrong. Oh yeah, let's talk about Uh well,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Evan Carter. Oh for four, another Ranger,
Speaker 1: another Ranger, two for thirteen, Maybe they start evaluating their system.
Speaker 1: So he's two for thirteen since he's been back in
Speaker 1: the in the major leagues. I don't get it. Explain
Speaker 1: this to me like I'm a four year old Welsh
Speaker 1: because I don't understand why he keeps getting opportunities to I.
Speaker 2: Mean, well, I think like you don't just like give
Speaker 2: a well, you don't just give a guy an opportunity
Speaker 2: once and then you're just like all right, I'm done
Speaker 2: with it forever. Like they want to go back to it,
Speaker 2: but it's looking bad, like he cannot hit lefties, the
Speaker 2: power's gone. What he actually ironically, he actually does have
Speaker 2: a hit against lefties right now, but he's he showed
Speaker 2: no power versus lefties right now. He looks pretty lost.
Speaker 2: He's not hitting anything hard. I don't know, But again,
Speaker 2: you have to kind of keep going down this right
Speaker 2: That's why Jordan Maaller comes up. This is why options
Speaker 2: keep happening with players like who else are they? Who
Speaker 2: do they need to hand this ball to? You've got
Speaker 2: to see what you've got in Evan Carter. And unfortunately
Speaker 2: for teams, unlike fantasy owners, we can make a decision
Speaker 2: off of three games, they've got to make it off
Speaker 2: of a couple seasons. But to your point in not
Speaker 2: liking him, doesn't look good right now, and I don't
Speaker 2: think he's gonna be up for long. Even though they
Speaker 2: got rid of Leoti Tavers, I'm not so sure he
Speaker 2: can stick around for longevity, especially hitting like this.
Speaker 1: And my big point on the Waiver Show that we
Speaker 1: did earlier this week is he is not hitting great
Speaker 1: in the minor leagues, so it's not like he was. Also,
Speaker 1: he's not like he was hitting three six and you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: he's figured out. We got to bring him up. We
Speaker 1: got to see what he can do now. And not
Speaker 1: hitting on the PCL. I mean, you know, more places
Speaker 1: like that. This is likely going to endear you, I
Speaker 1: think to anybody who knows anything about baseball. Loup Bund
Speaker 1: has a question morning, gentlemen. Did I mess up trading
Speaker 1: Maze for Kateel Marte? No?
Speaker 2: No, see that bomb last night, bro Kittel's bomb, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, he just good in the box and
Speaker 2: it was barely a homer. Maybe let's not do that,
Speaker 2: but no, you did great. Man.
Speaker 1: Listen, here's the thing about Mis's performance yesterday. It was great,
Speaker 1: but it was against the Rockies and the doubleheader. Okay,
Speaker 1: so just understand that. You know, in that first game too,
Speaker 1: they had some guys sitting. You have to understand the
Speaker 1: context too. Miz's strikeout rate was at six point something
Speaker 1: before that game. Just because he had an eight strikeout
Speaker 1: performance against the Rockies does not cure all the eels.
Speaker 1: It's great performance, and I like my still as a pitcher.
Speaker 1: This is still the cell high point. This might even
Speaker 1: be the higher cell point. Well, would you agree at
Speaker 1: this stage, it's like all that performance, maybe mis you
Speaker 1: can get something uncomfortably oddly good for Casey Mize off
Speaker 1: of how good he was this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm into just like throwing it out there
Speaker 2: and seeing where people are are at on myz. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I think I think like this is like the time
Speaker 2: to start putting those questions in. He's still a little
Speaker 2: bit of one of those like, you know, is it
Speaker 2: gonna be worth what the return is going to be
Speaker 2: than just holding on to see if he continues being
Speaker 2: like a sub three era guy. But I think it's
Speaker 2: I think you're in the rain where you should start
Speaker 2: having those conversations.
Speaker 1: Rest of season Meser Lodolo, I know Loddol has been
Speaker 1: knocked around a little bit lately.
Speaker 2: I think I would lean Mies because the strikeout up tick,
Speaker 2: Lodolo has dropped that up to h.
Speaker 1: So that's a little concern. Speaking of dropping the ball,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the elephant in the room. The real
Speaker 1: reason Shock.
Speaker 2: We didn't start the show with this show because.
Speaker 1: What happens is the start of the show begins and
Speaker 1: people start to file in. I wanted to get I
Speaker 1: wanted to give some people time to warm up. I
Speaker 1: wanted to get my Jack Lyder Joester Damas and I
Speaker 1: haven't Carter joesterra Dramas because I had a major Joster
Speaker 1: Damas just this week. Earlier on the show, Raphfield Devers
Speaker 1: with two for three with a homer. That's great. After
Speaker 1: the game, Raffield Devers told reporters that he's not going
Speaker 1: to play first base, and you've got a quote here
Speaker 1: from him about the why. So here we go from
Speaker 1: Rafaeld Devers interpreter. I know I'm a ballplayer, but at
Speaker 1: the same time, they can't expect me to play every
Speaker 1: single position out there in spring training. They talked to
Speaker 1: me and basically told me to put away my glove,
Speaker 1: that I wasn't going to play any other position. But
Speaker 1: DH so right now, I just feel like it's not
Speaker 1: appropriate decision by them to ask me to play another position.
Speaker 1: It was the GM that I spoke with. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what he has what he has with me. He
Speaker 1: played ball, and I would like to think that he
Speaker 1: knows that changing positions like that isn't easy. End quote
Speaker 1: from Devers through his interpreter. Now, some people have said
Speaker 1: that's not exactly Some of the things he was saying,
Speaker 1: we can discuss that further. But well, here's the thing
Speaker 1: with Raffaeld Devers. I understand where he's coming from, and
Speaker 1: this is an ego thing. And I'm sure at some
Speaker 1: point his teammates are saying to him, well, you know
Speaker 1: you've got you know, we got your back. We understand
Speaker 1: you know. It's it's tough. We're all players and we
Speaker 1: all have thresholds in pride and all that stuff too. However,
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of thing called money that's going
Speaker 1: on around here, right, and Raffield Devers is going to
Speaker 1: pay twenty seven million dollars this year. He is going
Speaker 1: to have basically two hundred and fifty six million dollars
Speaker 1: in total coming to him from the Red Sox here
Speaker 1: over the next couple of years. So Welsh, explain this
Speaker 1: to me. Because when someone's paying you two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars to pick up a glove again in
Speaker 1: a bad situation that caught you off guard, I think
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do that. I think that's what you
Speaker 1: do for business. And Rapfield Devers is basically saying stick it,
Speaker 1: I don't care if your feelings.
Speaker 2: That's what he's saying yeah, I mean this was one
Speaker 2: of the outcomes. It was either that the Red Sox
Speaker 2: were incompetent and weren't willing to maybe they are, by
Speaker 2: the way for not having a depth, but that they
Speaker 2: were unwilling to have the tough conversations about it, or
Speaker 2: they had the conversation and Devers was not willing to
Speaker 2: do it, and then we found out yesterday it was, oh,
Speaker 2: Devers is not willing to do it. This is something
Speaker 2: a player that is looking for their next contract would
Speaker 2: not do or would be advised to not do, because
Speaker 2: this is this is being a bad teammate. Like I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't even if they're saying they were saying, like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, the locker room's find like no, this is
Speaker 2: just being a bad teammate. You can also do this
Speaker 2: whole like it is tough, and it probably is. It's
Speaker 2: tough to change positions in season, but give me a break.
Speaker 2: Winners don't make excuses. Winners win, and winners find ways
Speaker 2: to win. So I can't imagine guys like Bregman and
Speaker 2: Story and Duran and stuff are super happy about a
Speaker 2: player that won't do whatever it takes to win. I
Speaker 2: think it's a horrible look. But he's got his money,
Speaker 2: he's flexing his time with the organization. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of quotes out there too that looks like he's pseudo
Speaker 2: kind of calling out the organization. I think it's as
Speaker 2: bad as bad can be. And I think the hardcore
Speaker 2: Red Sox fans hardcore are on two camps, either hardcore
Speaker 2: defending or hardcore out on him, and frankly, I would
Speaker 2: be out. I think this is just bad across the board,
Speaker 2: so many bad things in the profile we've seen. He's
Speaker 2: been mediocre. He cried about having to move off of it.
Speaker 2: Now he's like, oh, you took my ball away, so
Speaker 2: now I'll never play, and he's doing that, and I
Speaker 2: think it is bad, bad, bad, I personally, to me,
Speaker 2: this is the type of thing where it's like you
Speaker 2: just you try to see if you can find a
Speaker 2: match to get him out of town and get him
Speaker 2: in here, because this is bad for the team. Maybe
Speaker 2: it's good for Devers, it's bad for the team. And
Speaker 2: anytime we're solely focused on the player's benefit, then the
Speaker 2: team's benefit, I think you've lost the locker room. So
Speaker 2: I think this is really garbage. But you know, I
Speaker 2: know there's some people. I've had some people out there
Speaker 2: that are like, oh, you know, can you blame Devers?
Speaker 2: It's like no, sure, he's like a little pissy about it,
Speaker 2: but they didn't take money away from him. They took
Speaker 2: his stupid glove away bad. They didn't take any money.
Speaker 1: On the team. So he was he was hurting the
Speaker 1: team and now his ego couldn't handle it. So now
Speaker 1: he's going to let his ego hurt the team further
Speaker 1: by pouting about it. And I gotta tell you, Welsh,
Speaker 1: I think this is you mentioned his next contract. He's
Speaker 1: been thirty six years old before this contract is up.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: This was it.
Speaker 2: This is com That's why he's comfortable doing that.
Speaker 1: And I know you're seeing a lot of money getting
Speaker 1: thrown around here, and two hundred and fifty million doesn't
Speaker 1: sound like as much as it used to, but still
Speaker 1: a lot of money Raphael Devers, And I agree with you, Welsh.
Speaker 1: I think this is going to come to a head
Speaker 1: at some point, and Raffaeld Devers may not be with
Speaker 1: the Red Sox by the end of this season. One thing,
Speaker 1: the offseason or at the trade deadline. I could see
Speaker 1: them saying, you know what, this is just not working out.
Speaker 1: We like the tone of what we've got going. It's
Speaker 1: a lot for the manager to have to deal with now.
Speaker 1: Right on top of which, we've got all these prospects
Speaker 1: coming through the organization that we like. We expect Causes
Speaker 1: to be back, hopefully healthy next year, and we still
Speaker 1: believe in his ability. I know Raffield Devers is a
Speaker 1: very good player at his best, but this has been
Speaker 1: an absolute disaster, and maybe it's been mismanaged and miscommunicated.
Speaker 1: You could say all those things. At the end of
Speaker 1: the day, I think he's being a big baby about it.
Speaker 1: Can we show the big baby picture? There you go.
Speaker 2: He is, he is about but he's on the field though,
Speaker 2: so's you know, no gloves on the field.
Speaker 1: There's no glove.
Speaker 2: That's true. He doesn't want to play.
Speaker 1: Away. And I'm not saying it's easy to learn a
Speaker 1: new position. I'm not saying any of that is easy.
Speaker 1: I'm saying is there's players who play multiple positions in
Speaker 1: major legue base all the time just to get in
Speaker 1: the lineup, just to stay at the major league level.
Speaker 1: And I get it. You're a star, you're a stud.
Speaker 1: You're a big time player. I understand all of that,
Speaker 1: but it's all ego at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: and you're looking around and the Red Sox nation is
Speaker 1: going to turn on him and turn on him fast
Speaker 1: for this. I'm sorry. I don't see them supporting him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: send him to the Rockies and that'll teach you. At
Speaker 1: the end of the day, Devers is in a really
Speaker 1: precarious spot and he is going to basically ego himself
Speaker 1: out of Boston. I think that's what he wants to do,
Speaker 1: and I think that's what he's going to do, and
Speaker 1: I think the Red Sox will be better off for it.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 2: The one thing I want to say, if someone put
Speaker 2: in there said there's bad translation, that's fine, especially if
Speaker 2: you want.
Speaker 1: To I mentioned that. If the top I mentioned no,
Speaker 1: I know, but people said that's I want to say,
Speaker 1: But you know what, that's what's out there, and that's
Speaker 1: also on you, Raphael Devers.
Speaker 2: Okay, but that I don't even care about that stuff,
Speaker 2: like if you want to pick people like, oh it's
Speaker 2: bad translation, and about the manager. The only there's only
Speaker 2: one piece of the thing that actually matters is if
Speaker 2: they asked him to play first, and he's not willing
Speaker 2: to story. All the other stuff is just more talking
Speaker 2: points for local radio and for people to get more
Speaker 2: pissed off about into light the fire. So whatever's lost
Speaker 2: in translation, okay, understandable. But if what's not lost is
Speaker 2: that they asked him to play first and he said no,
Speaker 2: that's the important piece. That's a bad teammate, regardless of whatever.
Speaker 2: And there's zero point zero chance if he was a
Speaker 2: free agent in a year or two that he would
Speaker 2: be doing Yeah that as the fire would come out,
Speaker 2: and unless that go on, the.
Speaker 1: Glove would go on. The passifire would come out, your
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right. And look here's Todd. He's a
Speaker 1: Red Sox fan. For the other oppost part of this,
Speaker 1: I still support him. I don't want him talking to
Speaker 1: the meat the rest of the season. That's fine, but
Speaker 1: it's already happened, it's already been done. We already know
Speaker 1: we didn't want to move off third base. We already
Speaker 1: know we didn't want Bregman there. He felt like someone
Speaker 1: was taking his position. And you know what, sorry, you
Speaker 1: had the option, which is take a thousand ground balls,
Speaker 1: you know, every week and get better at your position,
Speaker 1: become a great defender. She said, work ethic, so you
Speaker 1: can fix things like fielding right, Like I can't make
Speaker 1: somebody six', four two hundred pounds athlete. Size the things
Speaker 1: you can fix at the major league, level she, could,
Speaker 1: work you can become a better. Defender Pete alonzo was
Speaker 1: not the greatest. Defender he worked his tail off to
Speaker 1: become at least a pretty good first baseman in The.
Speaker 2: These guys all work on this. Stuff by the, way
Speaker 2: they all work on it during shagging sessions and. Stuff
Speaker 2: it's not that. Big but HERE i want to ask you.
Speaker 2: This do you think he gets booed today after all this.
Speaker 2: HAPPENED i think he's Gonna are they In boston?
Speaker 1: TODAY i got to look at the schedule in the,
Speaker 1: MEANTIME i decided, No they're In Kansas. City, yeah well we'll.
Speaker 1: See we'll see what happens next couple of. Days And
Speaker 1: Romean gonzalez is hurt now.
Speaker 2: Too he's getting booed the first game back In. Boston.
Speaker 1: WATCH i think he should be speaking of.
Speaker 3: That.
Speaker 1: ALSO i decided to put INTO ai into CHAT gpt
Speaker 1: a little, BIT a nice little story About Raffaeld, devers
Speaker 1: and it goes a little something like. This one sunny,
Speaker 1: Afternoon Raffael, devers the beloved third basement of The Red,
Speaker 1: sox is enjoying a routine. Practice what a mystery voodoo
Speaker 1: doll falls from the stands when he accidentally touches, it
Speaker 1: and he magically is transformed into a, baby complete with
Speaker 1: diype and. Pacifier as chaos unfolds around, him his teammates
Speaker 1: and fans are baffled by the sight of their star
Speaker 1: player in such an absurd. State now trapped in the
Speaker 1: body of an, Infant Raphael devers must navigate the challenges
Speaker 1: of a toddler world while trying to communicate with his
Speaker 1: confused teammates through comical scenarios like crawling onto the field
Speaker 1: during a game and attempting to swing a tiny. Bat oh.
Speaker 1: Hilarious luckily he wasn't grabbing a big. Glove valuable lessons
Speaker 1: about teamwork and humility will be. Learned and, meanwhile his best,
Speaker 1: friends oh, wait he doesn't have any friends on the
Speaker 1: team to help reverse the. Spell so as they work
Speaker 1: together as an, Organization devers discovers the importance of, family
Speaker 1: friendship and the joy of. Play ultimately a heartfelt moment
Speaker 1: perhaps with the, fans and a final showdown at the
Speaker 1: game leads to the spell being broken when he grabs
Speaker 1: that first basement's, mitt restoring him to his adult self
Speaker 1: just in time for The Red sox that win a,
Speaker 1: championship and, that my, friends is embracing the child. Within
