1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Well, that was a fun weekend. That was a really

2
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: fun first weekend of games. There was a little boost

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: which we're going to get into. I'm not going to

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: do much exactly. Kratz do it again for us.

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 2: Boom boom boom.

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, your old buddy Salvey did that a few times

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: and had some success with it. We have so much

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: to cover with the ABS Challenge System, so I'm not

9
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: going to waste much time because we're going to talk

10
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: to Mason Miller in about fifteen minutes. I want to

11
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: make sure we have a good, chunky, twelve minute segment

12
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: to go over all of the ABS Challenge System virality.

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: From the weekend it took over.

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: People were like, Oh my gosh, I can't believe how

15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: good this is. We were like, yeah, we've been talking

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: about this for a long time.

17
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: So here we go.

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: Snee right, Well, ce B Buckner has to lead off

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: the UMP show. I think that was the true viviality

20
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: from the weekend. People were like, the ABS Challenge System

21
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: is what is going to bring world peace. Everybody loves

22
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: it except for CB. Everybody else loves it. So take

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: me through that game and your experience with CB and

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: the year that he's going to have and he's not

25
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: the only one. But eight challenges on Saturday, six of

26
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 1: them were overturned Red Sox reds, including Gino Suarez consecutive

27
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: strike three calls that were.

28
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 4: Not No, that we're not And like before we go

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 4: on to Ceb, like this is going to exploit some

30
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 4: umpires and you know, hopefully for the good, but there's

31
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 4: going to be a lot And again, balls are missing

32
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 4: by that much. Well, I've always talked about it. Forget

33
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 4: about the buffer zone. Listen, A ball is a ball,

34
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: ste B Buckner been doing it for a long time now.

35
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: This guy right here has missed some calls over the years,

36
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 4: and we've talked about it. Everybody has cratzy. You know

37
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 4: he misses a call. Hey, Ceb, I got that off

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 4: straight face. Okay, I'm like, okay, that's not Yeah. He

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 4: would be real quick with it, and he wouldn't. He

40
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 4: never his face was subtle. Cratzy. Tell me if I'm wrong.

41
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: The guy never had a peep and then he would

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 4: all of a sudden. He would explode every once in

43
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 4: a while. But now you can't get bitter at this.

44
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 4: These are the new rules. You missed a call me

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 4: and Jene got it right. Don't get better, get better

46
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 4: and that would be my my my thing to him.

47
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I wouldn't even say straight face. He

48
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 5: just gives you one.

49
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 2: Of these yes.

50
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, And that's more irritating than anything else it is.

51
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 5: It's more irritating how you react to mistakes or how

52
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 5: you react to like people questioning you. That's how the

53
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 5: that's how the whole like relationship is built. The best umpire,

54
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 5: the umpires that you really enjoy are the ones that

55
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 5: you know you can have a conversation with. And the

56
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 5: first one here I felt like with with with Gino,

57
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 5: I felt like, you know that one he reacted fine,

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 5: his reaction right here, when he calls it, he gives them,

59
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 5: he gives them like the hands down, like, oh, you're

60
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 5: gonna challenge me? Oh, like, oh okay, I'll go and

61
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 5: check it again, like to me, if there's any other reaction,

62
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 5: then okay, yeah, I'll challenge it. Then it tells me

63
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 5: that it's like you're getting a little too personal with it,

64
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 5: like it's either right or wrong, that's it, whether it's

65
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 5: by a tenth of an inch or whether it's by

66
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 5: two inches.

67
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: The Red Sox ran out of challenges. Otherwise they could

68
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: have had more fun with this. And then do you

69
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: feel like CB was taking a shot back at them

70
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: by not checking on the Trevor story check swing?

71
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, well that would be my That would be my

72
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 5: other gripe with Cbe and Angel Hernandez, they both on

73
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 5: separate occasions told me you can tell if a guy

74
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 5: check swung or not by looking at his face. Now,

75
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 5: I don't think he was taking a shot. I don't

76
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 5: think he was taking a shot. I don't think he

77
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 5: was like, Oh, you guys showed me up by challenging

78
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 5: so many. I hope that's not the case. That's that's

79
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 5: vindictive and that's not helpful. They both said, at separate times,

80
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 5: look at their eyes, so they'll like, they'll like, tilt

81
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 5: and look at their eyes. If you watch the replay,

82
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 5: he looks, he looks right at him. He looks right

83
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 5: at his face. I was like, so what are you

84
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 5: looking for? He goes, you'll know, like what.

85
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: Did he bring a polygraph out too? For each of

86
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: them to make sure that they actually believe what they're saying,

87
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 3: it's ridiculous, agreed.

88
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: And now called him out postgame. So for me, the

89
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: difference isn't just your percentage, it's where your misses are.

90
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: So there's abs challenges the C. B. Buckner effect. We're

91
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: showing the Reds just bringing it in that game. But

92
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: I also want to show the actual pitch graph of

93
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: the ones that he did miss Could we take that

94
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: pull screen too, so we can show you know, krats

95
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: breaking down some of the pitches that were outside of

96
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: the zone and by how much outside the zone. Some

97
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: of these are pretty egregious.

98
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 5: Number four is agreed. Just number six and number eight

99
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 5: aregreed just too because they're not as far, but they're

100
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 5: on his strong side. They're on the side that he's on, Like,

101
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 5: you can't miss the balls. You can't miss the balls

102
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 5: that you're when you're set up in and those two,

103
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 5: I think seven and one are are kind of stacked

104
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 5: on top of each other. They weren't. They weren't against uh, righty,

105
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 5: so he wasn't inside on those pitches. But I'm sorry,

106
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 5: they weren't against lefties, so he wasn't inside. But if

107
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 5: you're you just you just gotta like number three, so

108
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 5: what like that one's that one touched his own? That

109
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 5: one we're gonna we're gonna figure that out, I hope.

110
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 5: But the biggest thing is if umpires want to make

111
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 5: the change, if they want to, or if they're gonna

112
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 5: be like whatever, you don't have a this This is

113
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 5: where I think a huge value might be. They're not

114
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 5: gonna have any more challenges now. It just might turn

115
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 5: into like an old school game, like a Eric greg game,

116
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 5: where it's just like hat hat hat, and you're like,

117
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 5: oh boy, what do we do now.

118
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 4: Yesterday and watching the game with my son and he's

119
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 4: a Mets fan. As you guys know, I probably talk

120
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 4: about a one hundred times. So I'm sitting there watching

121
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 4: the game for a little bit before I do something else.

122
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 4: And there was a pitch that was up he called

123
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 4: a strike and it was a ball. And this is

124
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 4: the best part of myself, like challenge, challenge, Like you

125
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: got young kids that are screaming at the TV screen

126
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 4: and then you see the guy they're like.

127
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: M like they want to, but they don't.

128
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 4: Like I wonder after each game how many calls they

129
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 4: miss and how many calls like a player misses. They

130
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 4: should challenge and player misses. That's what I was trying

131
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,799
Speaker 4: to Yeah, and like listen, cebe Buckner. He called strike

132
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 4: that it was going to be strike three no matter what.

133
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 4: Let's just be honest with you, unless it was a

134
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 4: ball that went over his head or in the dirt.

135
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 4: He was mad that he challenged a call and he lost.

136
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 4: Next pitch was as far off, know what bang them? Anyway,

137
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 4: hopefully it doesn't challenge challenge it again. Looked up at him.

138
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 4: He's like, really, you're gonna challenge Yeah, it's it's gonna

139
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 4: be it's gonna be fun, it's gonna be interesting as

140
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 4: we move forward here. Because some pumpires don't want this crap.

141
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter and I don't think.

142
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: But that's how they're saying.

143
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: And a lot of umpires are like, okay, want to

144
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 4: challenge me a hundred times, and if they get it right,

145
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 4: they're like, inside they got a little pride, you know

146
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 4: what I mean. So you saw in Cincinnati how excited

147
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 4: the crowd got.

148
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: That was. That was that was fun to watch the

149
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: game exactly.

150
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: But it's the game inside the game too, crowd is

151
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: because it is bringing more fan engagement.

152
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: We knew this was going to happen. Some people are surprised.

153
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, no, no, this is the change that takes

154
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: the sport to another entertainment level.

155
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 5: It is definitely because we're getting it right. We're getting

156
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 5: it right and there's intrigued to it. That's like a

157
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 5: pause in the game, which we're trying to eliminate, but

158
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 5: that pause in the game is exciting. Like people aren't

159
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 5: going another challenge on my phone. No, it's like a challenge. Oh,

160
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 5: I want to see what happens? Yeah? Or no, why'd

161
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 5: you challenge?

162
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 6: There?

163
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 5: You shop, You're not one of our better players. Like

164
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 5: I want to see what I want to see at

165
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 5: the end of the season, and we can't wait. Maybe

166
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 5: we could see it by the All Star break halfway

167
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 5: through the season. Is we have the umpire scorecards from

168
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 5: every year from last year to this year. I want

169
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 5: to see who improves and to me, it'll be directly

170
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,679
Speaker 5: correlated to the ABS challenge system.

189
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: Well.

190
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: I found one instance.

191
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: So the other day when the Cubs lost, or were

192
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: losing at the time, and they lost to the Nationals.

193
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: It was eight four two runners on one out Nico

194
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: Horner at the plate bottom of the seventh three to

195
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: one pitch.

196
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: It was inside. It was called a strike. He would

197
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: have walked to load up the.

198
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: Bases and then that would have put up Carson Kelly

199
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: representing the tying run. Instead, next pitch grounded into a

200
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: double play ended it. So it's those types of late

201
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: situations where one inning can change it all, right, one

202
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: pitch in that inning can change it all that players

203
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: will get smarter with and say, hey, this is the time.

204
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: I can't be gun shy on a time like this

205
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: because this could decide the game.

206
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 3: So that part's important.

207
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: We had a bunch of stats from over the weekend,

208
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: so I think Salvador presment viral forgetting three for three,

209
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: but he wasn't the only one, and also over since

210
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: now then four for four total. He was three for

211
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: three in one game. Real Muto was perfect three for

212
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: three in these first several games. Same with Austin Wells

213
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: on the umpire side Pad Witson in the Giants Yanks

214
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: game the other day actually had seven challenges, all of

215
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: them overturned.

216
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: He was worse than Buckner by numbers. Now, some pitches

217
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 3: are closer.

218
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: That's why I want everyone to see the Buckner chart

219
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: and how some of those misses were. But Buckner was

220
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: at seventy five percent. Chris Siegel in the Orioles Twins

221
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: game had ten challenges, seven of them overturned. And let's

222
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: go to that game for a moment, because we actually

223
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: saw our first ejection as a result of the ABS

224
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: Challenge system. Some were worried, including some on this show,

225
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: that we would not have any animosity between coaches, players

226
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: and umpires. I think we've seen plenty already. We'll run

227
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: through a few examples, but let's start with Derek Shelton,

228
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: who was ejected from Sunday's game.

229
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 3: Was it Sunday or Saturday? I think it was Saturday.

230
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 5: Saturday, Yeah, yeah, because Helsley was on the mound.

231
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hellsley. Well, I think he closed out both.

232
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: But Helsley tapped in the Shelton said he tapped too

233
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: quick or not too quick, too slightly.

234
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 4: I saw the replay on that he went, he went one.

235
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 4: He didn't he didn't exaggerate it. It looked like right,

236
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 4: and then he went back and did it.

237
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: I don't know.

238
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 4: They might have to do something about that and what

239
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 4: I don't know. That's what I'm saying, like you got

240
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 4: to be really egregious with the tapping or because he

241
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 4: kind of went like that, like boom like that, I

242
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 4: don't know what the ruling is.

243
00:11:59,120 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: And then he went.

244
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 4: He won a couple more times, so I don't know

245
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 4: that one there. I was in between on but it

246
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 4: deals with last ds, so there's always a controversy there exactly.

247
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: Well, you're still gonna have plenty of fun, yeah, and Kratz.

248
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: There was also Doug Eddings who said that Matt Olsen

249
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: took too long to challenge a strike call and you

250
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: didn't give it to him. We saw that happen a

251
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: few times in spring training, and I was like, oh,

252
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: that's only happening a few times in spring training. That's

253
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: going to happen a lot in the regular season, at

254
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: least at the start of the season. That's kind of

255
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: a way for an umpire to be like, hey, you

256
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: better be super definitive right away. And also it's going

257
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: to affect some ups that are a little bit delayed

258
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: with their calls, because then you know how a player

259
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: kind of thinks he's going one way if he's got

260
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: a walk, but then the strike's called. But then if

261
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: you make a motion, then did you make a motion

262
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: and then try to tap your head and you can't

263
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: do that. The nuances might actually change the way that

264
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: somebody does something like they might actually wait at the

265
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: plate regardless, make sure the call is made, and then

266
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: if they don't agree with the call, do the tap

267
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: before they move over to first.

268
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 5: It changes, It changes your timing. We talked. I talk

269
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 5: about all the time with the high school kids, like

270
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 5: there's timing in baseball, like if you're if you're not

271
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 5: onto the next thing when this happens, like you're too late,

272
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 5: And so I think, like, uh, I think it was

273
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 5: four test. Nick fourtest caught one. It was a slider

274
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 5: from a lefty I forget, and he caught it and

275
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 5: it was it looked like a very definitive strike and

276
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 5: he caught it and he brought it up to throw

277
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 5: it back and the umpire and umpire balled it. He

278
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 5: put the ball in his glove and then he was

279
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 5: like he went like this. The umpire said, no, no, no, no,

280
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 5: that took too long. It was not I need to

281
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 5: know what that time span is. I need to know

282
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 5: what is Is it three seconds? Like that's the number

283
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 5: I keep hearing, but what are we Three seconds is

284
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 5: a long time? Like to me, I don't think Hellsley's

285
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 5: challenge was too late. I didn't think Olsen's challenge was

286
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 5: too late or Nick Fortes's challenge. But Nick Fortes just

287
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 5: does what he does. Catches. Oh yeah, definitely a strike.

288
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 5: Catch it go to throw back? Well, I mean he's

289
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 5: got to go with the ball in his hand. So

290
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 5: he put the ball in his glove, put the ball

291
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 5: right in the mitt and went right to the tap

292
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 5: and the umpire leaned over. He's like, nope, nope, not

293
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 5: gonna happen.

294
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 4: Crazy, Yeah, it's crazy. It's crazy fun. You listen, crazy fun.

295
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 4: It's gonna exploit some people.

296
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: Yep.

297
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 4: Some people are gonna be okay. Yeah, man, I got

298
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 4: I got some work to do. Some people were like,

299
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 4: these sons are guns. You know, that's life. That's any

300
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 4: job you go to, that's part of it. You're gonna

301
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 4: have some people who are better, but most people want

302
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 4: to get better.

303
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: Some players are gonna get pissed at each other too.

304
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: So Matt Walner had what was it a full count

305
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: pitch that was basically down the middle, and people called

306
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: it a rage challenge because he didn't swing. But they

307
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: were like, dude, that's a strike. Oh what are you

308
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: doing in the middle quadrant a little bit, you know,

309
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: took more towards the knees, but middle lower quadrit good there,

310
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: Monsey fifteen in our chat, not Max Amuncie fan I

311
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: Guess said of Kuna challenging bottom of the first, right

312
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: after Baldwin lost a challenge in the top of the

313
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: first for the braves, can't happen. Got to be used

314
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: in better situations. Completely agree. You cannot lose your challenges

315
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: in the first inning. You can't lose your challenges in

316
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: the fourth inning.

317
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 4: That's why you save them until the seventh, eighth, and ninth.

318
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: In my opinion, when it gets.

319
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: I think after the one burned, it's got to be

320
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 3: agreed just to start right or on a huge moment,

321
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: bases loaded, third inning, someone's up, this is your chance

322
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: to blow up in the game. Bad call, you feel

323
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,359
Speaker 3: like you've got it okay.

324
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 4: But I and I also think it's gonna hurt some

325
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 4: players hitting because they're like like I saw, like Sodo,

326
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 4: He's like a kind of picks you out of your

327
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 4: rhythm a little bit too. If I'm looking at the

328
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 4: other side of it, like they're professional hitters. Don't get

329
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 4: me wrong, but if you're thinking about maybe I should

330
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 4: have challenged, maybe not, And now it's like ringing in

331
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 4: your head now pictures like ah gotch you bud, let's go,

332
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 4: you know. So that's where on the flip side, it's

333
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 4: a little different, like, all right, you didn't challenge it,

334
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 4: let go and move on.

335
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: If it's borderline, if you gotta think.

336
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 4: If I'm a manager and I tell my guys, if

337
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 4: you got a second, guess yourself and you're in between,

338
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 4: you better not challenge.

339
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: That would be my answer to all that.

340
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then to finish here, there's some swagginess where

341
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: Randy Roseeran it was so confident that it was going

342
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: to be overturned that he just starts taking off his

343
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: equipment and walking to first base before the.

344
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 3: Ruling came in. He's just like, boom boom, challenge.

345
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: And also you can see some guys are making eye contacts,

346
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: some guys are not right, some guys are just doing this,

347
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: and some guys are looking back like you are wrong.

348
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: So there will be plenty of animosity.

349
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 3: Do not worry. The game will still have tons of

350
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: human element to it.

351
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: Hey, we're back.

352
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: Let's show you this little nugget from the weekend. We'll

353
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: talk later about the Giants getting swept by the Yankees.

354
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: But did you see where third base coach Luis Rojas

355
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: stood so he didn't get smoked under these new rules?

356
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: When Jim Carlo stand was at the plate, would.

357
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 4: You say, it's amazing, that's only you're only allowed to

358
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 4: stand there.

359
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: That's unbelievable.

360
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 3: Well, you gotta be in the box or back up.

361
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. I guess it's a safety hazard.

362
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: But well that's why they complained, but nobody's done anything

363
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: about it as well.

364
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: Put him in the dark out, you're in the seats.

365
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 3: Maybe see I'm in the dog out.

366
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 4: But you know, like but yes, whatever, Hey, if that's

367
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 4: that's a simple rule that has to be fixed, so

368
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 4: be it.

369
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: There's other rules where you like your mind bothering, but

370
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: safety for sure.

371
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: What about a prison cell, like a square prison cell

372
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: like solitary confinement that has class or that you.

373
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 2: Got candy in there too, Yeah you can have yep.

374
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: And it's just you have to be right there, and

375
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: that's foul ground. I mean, crats, you could be warm crats.

376
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: He was way back. I mean he's basically against the

377
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: the wall.

378
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 5: I've seen guys. I've seen guys far back with extreme

379
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 5: pool hitters. I've seen him like that. But I think

380
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 5: he's trying to make a trying to make an example too,

381
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 5: Like it's it's ridiculous. Let them go farther down the line.

382
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 5: I get it. Even in this case, there's no there's

383
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 5: no runners on the pictures. The pictures come and set,

384
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 5: not even coming set. He's just standing on the mound

385
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 5: and his and his hands in his glove like this.

386
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 5: If you look at the picture, you know, was he

387
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 5: picking it up because he's directly across but just farther

388
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 5: down the line. Well, he's also in a safer area.

389
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 5: I mean, John Carlos Stanton hits the ball one hundred

390
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,479
Speaker 5: and twenty miles an hour, like you just you just

391
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 5: don't have enough time from where the boxes are to

392
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 5: be safe. So you got to be out there.

393
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 2: Safety. Safety, that's all.

394
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 5: What they don't care. They don't care.

395
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 3: Well, the lead's just gonna say that's fine, didn't stand

396
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 3: back there.

397
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, maybe I don't know.

398
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well there's there's more paranoia on the pitch tipping

399
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: part and that they can't make everyone happy.

400
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 3: I'm just laying it down. That's the message that has

401
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: been sent so far.

402
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: Hey, it might be time to have a heart to

403
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: heart with your phone and be like, I love you,

404
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: but you cost too much.

405
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not paying this much anymore. That's it. I mean,

406
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 5: why would I go more than fifteen dollars a month.

422
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: on Carlos' seves? If you look at the pitching chart here,

423
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: the blown save on Saturday led to a great moment,

424
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: which we'll get to later. For Tom Smith, the grand

425
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: Slam walk off, but six earned runs charged to his account.

426
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: The velocity was down and Kratz I heard Mac Qutrar,

427
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: the Royals manager, talking about it. He said his velo

428
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: was downspring training last year and then it pumped back up.

429
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 3: It just didn't happen this time.

430
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: You know, some guys kind of save it, and you

431
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: want some guys to do that, but in this case,

432
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't in good shape. And then also it sounds

433
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: like he's got an ankle contusion. He was in a

434
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: boot yesterday morning, Sunday morning. So what do you do here?

435
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 5: I mean, you gotta keep running them out there, but

436
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 5: maybe with a little bit of a shorter leash. I mean,

437
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 5: the fact that he gave up six earned runs, that's tough,

438
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 5: great for Dom Smith, but the fact that they do

439
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 5: have Lucas Ersig that can come out of that bullpen.

440
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 5: I think he's legit in the eighth inning, so he

441
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 5: got to save yesterday. But I think it's something that

442
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 5: rarely would you have a season like carlos O Stevas

443
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 5: had last year and go, uh, you know what, we

444
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 5: need lower leverage situations. But when you have that drastic

445
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 5: of a velocity change, Okay, well we need to get

446
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 5: you going here. I get it, like spring training. It

447
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 5: was the same way, we need to get you going.

448
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 5: Where do you get him going at I don't know.

449
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 5: I mean that's between quatrro and estevas where it's like, no,

450
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 5: I need that adrenaline from the ninth inning, or hey,

451
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 5: be honest with me. Is something hanging are we feeling?

452
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 5: Are we feeling a little ill here?

453
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 3: You might say it's early. This might be one of

454
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 3: the better rookie classes that we have ever seen in

455
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 3: the game's history. We can't project every player's future.

456
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: And I'm talking about impact right now because you have

457
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 1: guys like Kevin McGonagall, JJ Weatherholt you're forgetting because he

458
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: made his debut last year. But Sal Stewart's still a rookie.

459
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: McLean will talk about of course as the season goes on.

460
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: Chase the Lotter put on a show, We'll talk about

461
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 1: him in a moment. The reason Crats why I think

462
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: it could be one of the better classes is that

463
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: you do have guys who are designated as rookies even

464
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: though they have prior pro seasons. And I know it

465
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 1: was a tough start for Tatsuyami, but Okamoto looks super legit,

466
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: especially with the bat for the Blue Jays and Murakami

467
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: hit three home runs already for.

468
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 3: The White Sox.

469
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: Did the White Sox actually make a move that nobody

470
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: else did and should have in terms of giving some

471
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: money to Murakami? I mean, I think most of the

472
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: league kind of kind of looked at him and yeah,

473
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: swiped him away.

474
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 2: They did.

475
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: I mean, he received so much less money than people anticipated.

476
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: And I know he ended up taking a shorter term deal,

477
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: but even if he took longer when it was going

478
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: to be nowhere close to what most people thought, he

479
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: was going to get.

480
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: Correct and the.

481
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 5: White Sox got it. But how many of those homers

482
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 5: were on what people said? He struggles with ninety five plus?

483
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 5: It's hard. It's hard to hit a home er in

484
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 5: the big leagues. And I think AJ and I both

485
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 5: talked about it. He could end up with thirty five plus.

486
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 5: But I don't know that the league necessarily missed on

487
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 5: this guy watching his swing, watching his swing path. He's

488
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 5: gonna have to figure out how to maybe cheat to

489
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 5: the heater a couple times, Todd, you know, anybody can

490
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 5: cheat to a heater, Like to me, if he's able

491
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 5: to get a couple, he's got to able to pump

492
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 5: a couple at ninety five plus. Now all of a sudden, Okay,

493
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 5: now you've got a guy who's able to just punish

494
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 5: mistake off speed pitches in the zone. Punish that that,

495
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 5: you know, that weak comeback sinker, that that stays middle.

496
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 5: So to me, yeah, I get it. People people looked

497
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 5: over him. But let's let's make sure. Let's make sure

498
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 5: he can do he can consistently hit. What a lot

499
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 5: of bullpens are thrown out there, A lot a lot

500
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 5: of starters are throwing out there. So but man, what

501
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 5: a freaking start. Three dangers in your first three games

502
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 5: that were.

503
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 2: Wow.

504
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 4: I mean, hater's gonna hate me.

505
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

506
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 4: The guy's got three games in his book and this

507
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 4: guy ain't giving him credit right now.

508
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 3: Only three homers in those three games.

509
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 4: I mean, the dudes on pace for one sixty due

510
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 4: but cratzy, he talks all that, I want to see

511
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 4: this and that. But hey, congratulations on a great game.

512
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 4: Hey listen, it's fantastic. That's why we do a show. Though,

513
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 4: say it with your test. Sometimes you guys are right, yeah,

514
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 4: you guys.

515
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: You guys called out a couple guys that were new

516
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: on the scene and got a lot of flak for it. Right,

517
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember who they were. I think the

518
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: main one, but maybe Roki Sazaki. You guys were a

519
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: little shaky.

520
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was.

521
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, he got beat up the first game, but now

522
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 4: he's he's figuring it out.

523
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 2: In my opinion, who the right handed picture now.

524
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 3: Rookie, are you talking about no Yamamoto is Yamamotos Dude,

525
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 3: I was wrong about Moto Yamamoto.

526
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what I was talking about.

527
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: Right, And while we're on all these you know, players

528
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: coming over from Japan, it is hard to project sometimes

529
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: it is very hard. When they hit, they really hit,

530
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: and they do and I think that both of them

531
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: are going to be good players in very different ways.

532
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: Okamotos might hit two eighty five, Murakami might hit two twenty.

533
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 2: But listen, what do you see. I see a ballplayer.

534
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 4: I see a guy that he's talking about thirty five

535
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 4: plus I'm saying forty. I think he has it in him. Cratzy,

536
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 4: I don't think you're wrong. It's just the way you

537
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 4: came out a little hoard. And I say hoard like

538
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 4: that horde, like, hey, give this man some credit. He

539
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 4: hit a Brewers club with three homers. I don't care

540
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 4: what they're throwing up there. He had three bing bangs. Okay,

541
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 4: let's see how consistent he is. Okay, deal, fine, shake

542
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 4: your hand, we'll move on. But give my man a

543
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 4: little slack here, doog. That's three homers in his first

544
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 4: time playing in USA. That's the USA, So give him

545
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 4: man some slack. Chicago, stand up for the guy. Let's go.

546
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 5: Yes, Chicago, you guys need to definitely stand up for

547
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 5: your guy. I completely apologize. That is so neat. He

548
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 5: hit three home runs. The question Todd was is he

549
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 5: going to be able to sustain it? And the question

550
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 5: has to be answered over a longer term. The fact

551
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 5: that the fact that he can, the fact that he

552
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 5: can hit the ball out of the ballpark with ease

553
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 5: you talk, I mean, everybody knew that eighty. I think

554
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 5: somebody put an eighty power grade on him, Like that's

555
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 5: legit power. You're talking about top ten power guys in

556
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 5: the league. If it's an eighty power and he showed

557
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 5: it like he showed it in Milwaukee. He showed it

558
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 5: in the situations that he hit it in. But when

559
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 5: you go to Oklamota over up in Toronto. To me,

560
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 5: what is a more valuable season if Kazuma hits twenty

561
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 5: five homers and hits to ninety or if Morikami hits

562
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 5: to ten and hits forty homers. To me, I I

563
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 5: take the forty homers because two for four what's the

564
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 5: score in my opinion? But I like that. It's one

565
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 5: of the It's one of those things that you know,

566
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 5: who do you look at when you watch a swing path,

567
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 5: when you watch the approach at the plate and you

568
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 5: get to see fifteen twenty at bats compared to one

569
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty at bats, and who's going to come

570
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 5: out on top as the better hitter. That's what's exciting

571
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 5: about this first week. We can overreact like crazy.

572
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course, enough so I remember Markami, he signed

573
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 4: what a.

574
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 2: Two year deal?

575
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 4: Okay, so yeah, I'm taking Akamoto of course, because he's

576
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 4: gonna be on the winning ball club too.

577
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 2: This team's gonna make the playoff.

578
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 3: You're saying for a rookie of the Year.

579
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,719
Speaker 4: Oh no, I'm just saying just overall, like, yeah, who

580
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 4: wouldn't want Mark Kami or Akamoto on the team? But

581
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 4: Mark Commy's playing for himself. Chicago's not going to make

582
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 4: the playoffs. He's basically playing for himself. So every homer

583
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 4: he hits, that's more money he's gonna make after the

584
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 4: next two years. So he needs to keep that rate

585
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 4: going and not worry about the wins and losses, which

586
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 4: is said to say, but you know, if we're going

587
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 4: individualized with both of these, yeah, I would want a

588
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 4: Kamoto because he's with a winning ball.

589
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: Club, four year, sixty mil, totally different player, totally different player,

590
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: right one's the first basement, one's playing third, get it

591
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: right now, so he has I want this though. This

592
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 1: is why we do this. I want you to call

593
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: stuff out. And if you're wrong, I mean, you're doing

594
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 1: a show every day, then let him hit forty homers

595
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: and be in a five win player or whatever he is,

596
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: then awesome, that's great, okay, But if Krat says everybody's

597
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: going to be amazing, then this is not the right

598
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: network for you.

599
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 3: So what about Okamoto?

600
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 5: I think his approach his I forget which which I

601
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 5: bat it was. He took a walk and it was

602
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 5: a borderline pitch a guy that is you know, it

603
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 5: looks like his approach is gap to Gap, it looks

604
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 5: like he has a very not advanced approach, because more

605
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 5: Tommy has an advanced approach. And in the big leagues,

606
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 5: you walk because guys are afraid of you, not because

607
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 5: oh this guy just can't find the zone. Those are

608
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 5: few and far between. And to me, Okamoto has the

609
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 5: ability and he showed it going APO in that situation

610
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 5: taking the walk later later in the game. I always

611
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 5: remember who was again since my fault, but it's it's

612
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 5: one of those things. To me, I feel like the numbers,

613
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 5: the money that they got, that each of those guys

614
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 5: got right now, just watching them against big league pitchers

615
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 5: is is about right. I obviously the defense for Okamoto's

616
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 5: is there too, So it's it's it's fun, it's fun

617
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 5: to watch. I made. I made a bold prediction, and

618
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 5: people might say I'm an idiot because I have a

619
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 5: you know, a two ZHO five career batting average. But

620
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 5: in twenty eighteen I got to see Juan Soto and

621
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 5: Ronald Acuna Junior for the first time, and I said,

622
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:01,719
Speaker 5: whose career do you want more when they're done? So

623
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 5: I pose that question to anybody who has all these

624
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 5: rookies that we're talking about here today, whose career do

625
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 5: you want more? And then then you make the choice,

626
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 5: and then it's fun because all these guys are young,

627
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 5: even the guys from Japan, they're going to be around

628
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 5: here for five six years. So yes, we had an

629
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,239
Speaker 5: awesome fun weekend. But choose who you think is going

630
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 5: to be the best based on the skill set. And

631
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 5: I thought Jan Sota was going to have a better

632
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 5: career so far. Akunyas showing me that, Hey, you know what,

633
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 5: athleticism and the ability to win MVP in seven fifty

634
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 5: seventy whatever, forty seventy you know. So I don't think

635
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 5: that jury's out yet, but I think these are the

636
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 5: discussions that are fun to have from a baseball sense,

637
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 5: not just a oh need O gang. He went four for.

638
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: Five, Well you started it, so let's finish with this

639
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: last minute here. Chase de Lotter hit four home runs

640
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 1: in his first three games, a big reason why the

641
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: Guardians ended up splitting a series with the Ironers. He

642
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: ended up breaking the no hip bid from Emerson Hancock,

643
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: who looks different this year too. We can cover that

644
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: a different day, But pick one guy out of the

645
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: billion rookies that shine so far in the first few games.

646
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 3: Who do you want long term? If you're in a

647
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: draft right now, which guy do you want?

648
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: Chase? Really? Yeah, I do seeing him.

649
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 4: He dropped the fly ball in the playoffs last year

650
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 4: and first guy come up got a knock.

651
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 2: They didn't win. The flyball didn't hurt him.

652
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 4: But to see him come back and just keep battling,

653
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 4: putting a smile on his face and doing what he's

654
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 4: doing now, that would be long term for me.

655
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: Chase for the later for sure.

656
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 3: That's the swing for you. Okay, Crats, that's a nice swing.

657
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 5: It's a nice swing. It's not like the most beautiful swing,

658
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 5: but man, he does some really really good things. I'm

659
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 5: taking Kevin McGonagall. I think that there's short arms. If

660
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 5: there's a trait I want, I want somebody to be

661
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 5: six foot three with five foot ten arms, like he's

662
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 5: got short arms, just like Mason Miller just said. He's

663
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 5: on the plate, he stays through the zone a long time,

664
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 5: and he's got a quick bat. I just I just

665
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 5: feel like guys who control the zone with a quick

666
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 5: bat and aren't only trying to do damage, but can

667
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 5: do damage. They have a longer, long sustained career.

668
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 4: And one we haven't talked about because he's not up

669
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 4: yet is Old Connor.

670
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 3: Ro Oh yeah, oh my god, we've seen him.

671
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: We will get his heini up there, let's go. We will.

672
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 2: We're gonna see him. Why talk to me? Why? Why not?

673
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 5: Because because I hate the Pirates, That's what it is.

674
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 5: Twitter thinks I hate the Pirates. That's why he's not. No,

675
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 5: the reason he's not up there is because he didn't

676
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 5: accept his one hundred million dollar extension. That's why he's

677
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 5: not up there. That dude should be playing in the

678
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 5: big leagues and should be learning in the big leagues.

679
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: Bingo, He's gonna come up as soon as he's eligible

680
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: for them to get the extra year because with this

681
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: rookie class, I think the chance of him winning an

682
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: l Rookie of the Year is lower, or being top

683
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: two whatever it is for them to get the pick.

684
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: So once you take that out of the equation, they

685
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: just want him up in the bigs as quick as possible.

686
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: And one last shoutout Owen Casey Atlas also looked really good.

687
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: You forget that he's a rookie since he had some

688
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: time last year. But part of that Edward Cabrera trade.

689
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what he said.

690
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: That's what he said.

691
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 5: That's what he said.

692
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: That's what he said. We have some good ones.

693
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: Both of them revolve around booing and slow starts. So

694
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: we're going to hit Tony Vitello and Boba Schett. We'll

695
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: start with Vitello. There is a microscope on him because

696
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: of where he's coming from. In the modern game, we

697
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: have not seen a college coach jump from there to

698
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: the big leagues as a manager, and he happens to

699
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: be jumping to a team that's They're okay, they've been

700
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: five hundred dish, I feel like for a minute, right

701
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: since what twenty twenty one I think was their big

702
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: year for the Giants where they overtook the Dodgers.

703
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 3: For the division.

704
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: But anyway, they got swept dusted by the Yankees like

705
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 1: a clean sweep.

706
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 3: Never looked like they had a shot. They scored a

707
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 3: run in the series. Vitello. And this from a producer

708
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 3: out in San Francisco, Stephen Risoto posted this works for

709
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 3: ninety five seven the game.

710
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

711
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: He posted this about Vytello. He said mention the emotion

712
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: level for the Giants was too high for perhaps from

713
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: a speech he made a few days ago to start

714
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: off the season. Robbie Ray and Hilliott Ramos downplayed it.

715
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: Ray said, we're all major league players. Ramos mentioned the

716
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: fact that it's just been two games, two games, and

717
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 1: obviously eventually it became three games in your sweep, But

718
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: still your thoughts on the Giants starting slow and how

719
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: much Vaytello is going to get scrutinized for every word

720
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: he said. He already has said he is unfiltered and

721
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: he is going to stay that way. I respect him

722
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: for that. I want to hear his honest take. My

723
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: only thing is is he playing this up too much?

724
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 3: In college?

725
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: If you got swept early on, it means more because

726
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: they play like a third of the games.

727
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 4: Oh, it means a lot more. It means oh my god,

728
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 4: this might be the end of the world.

729
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 2: No, but.

730
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 3: Fortunate enough for he.

731
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 2: Fortunate enough for Tony.

732
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 4: I feel like he wants to come out of the

733
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 4: shell and do you know, get the boys going and

734
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 4: do some chance and raw ros stuff. Its just not

735
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 4: gonna happen, you know, it is. It is what it is,

736
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 4: and you know I mean that with the best of

737
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 4: my heart. Oho and three, he wants I I honestly,

738
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 4: and I'm you know, I'm with the Yankees. I work

739
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 4: for the Yes Network. I honestly want him to win

740
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 4: the game so he can get one and say for

741
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 4: his family. The first game I ever won was against

742
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 4: the New York Yankees. Honestly, that's what I felt inside.

743
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 4: And then on the other side of my Yankees need

744
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 4: to win. So unfortunately for him, he didn't get to win.

745
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 4: Now he's probably you know, off day or whatever, and

746
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 4: now he's coming back like, Okay, man, I need to

747
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 4: find a way to get a win so I can

748
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 4: breathe a little bit. And I think that's what the

749
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 4: problem is right now. Getting off the schnide and getting

750
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 4: that first win for him. I think he's gonna get,

751
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 4: you know, be able to breathe a little bit better.

752
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 4: The Boys might do something fun for him, but it's

753
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 4: a different San Francisco team.

754
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 2: Man, I don't know, I don't know. They didn't They

755
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 2: didn't really look too good to me.

756
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 3: No, No, Yankees pitching is really good. Yeah, they're fast starters,

757
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 3: Todd you know, right like everything.

758
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: Was cranked and cam sch looked.

759
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 4: Phil Felix number one yelled at but they looked absolutely

760
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 4: insane and Giants just had nothing for him.

761
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 3: No, the offense was not there.

762
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: They picked up some guys you know Bader or some

763
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: others in the offseason, some pitching, but the hitting was

764
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: the problem to they they were completely shut down by

765
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: the Yanks.

766
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 3: Here's the deal, too, Krats.

767
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: They're about to go to San Diego for a three gamer,

768
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: then they're back home to take on the Mets and

769
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: the Phillies, and then they're on the road for the Orioles.

770
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 3: That's the start of their season.

771
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,320
Speaker 1: That is a rough schedule to start the year in

772
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: terms of opponents, so it might not look pretty. And hey,

773
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: the Giants were pretty bad last year and then came

774
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: on strong towards the end of the season. Right, They

775
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: almost snuck in towards the end. I think they finished

776
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: maybe like two or three games out. But anyway, your

777
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 1: thoughts on all of this, and I think the main

778
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: response I want to get from you is to what

779
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: Todd father said about doing the ra ra and that

780
00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: just doesn't work, because that's the key here is if

781
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: you're a college coach and you're successful, do you bring

782
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: the same game plan to the major leagues or do

783
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 1: you have to severely adjust the way that you operate

784
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: from personality perspective.

785
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 5: Why do you have to change? They hired you, they

786
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 5: didn't hire if they wanted somebody different, they would have

787
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,959
Speaker 5: hired somebody that didn't need to change their their personality.

788
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 5: Buster Posey, there's very few GMS front office guys that

789
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 5: I would be like whatever he says, I'm on board

790
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 5: with Buster Posey's one of them, though, And this is

791
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 5: an overreaction to what's happened so far this year, three games,

792
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 5: like we can't you can't overreact too much. But you

793
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 5: also can't say, Wow, the manager is going to be

794
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 5: the one that's going to change this whole thing. No,

795
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 5: you hired him to be the guy that he is,

796
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 5: so he has to come in and fully embrace who

797
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 5: he is. And it's either going to work or it's not.

798
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 5: You got to go down. You got to go down

799
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 5: with your best punches. You can't try to like Gabe

800
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 5: kapler It and fake who you are. You have to

801
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 5: be who you are, and when you do well, you're like, Okay,

802
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 5: it worked, And when you're not doing well, okay, it's

803
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 5: not working. How can I adjust to the guys around me?

804
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 5: I think that's why they brought him in that Tony

805
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 5: Vaitello's not sitting here going, oh, you know, I know

806
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 5: everything there is about the big leagues. No, he's sitting

807
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 5: here saying this is who I am. He The only

808
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 5: part that was a little concerning to me was the

809
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 5: fact that the answer from Ilio Ramos and Robbie Ray

810
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 5: was you know, we're we're big leaders, like we got this,

811
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 5: Like he had a speech. And when you're losing, the

812
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 5: speeches kind of get annoying. And when you're winning, the

813
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 5: speeches are probably still annoying, but you can laugh them

814
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 5: off and say, ah, whatever, go for it Tony if

815
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 5: you know. But you just don't want early in the

816
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:03,720
Speaker 5: see to be like, oh great, here we go. Here's

817
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 5: another speech. And Tony knows that people act like, oh

818
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 5: he came from college. He doesn't even speak the language

819
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 5: of Major League Baseball. No, like he got this job.

820
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 5: He will be fine. But the Giants have to swing

821
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 5: the bat and connect with the baseball.

822
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 3: Yes, that's the thing right where the Giants in the NLS,

823
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 3: they might be third or fourth. That's part of the

824
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 3: problem too.

825
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: He did mention, now there's a little try hard right

826
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: now again, like all that stuff's early.

827
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 3: You get more of like the buy the book.

828
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: Answer from many other managers, and he just said, like

829
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: he's just gonna tell it like it is. If that's

830
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: what he feels, He's gonna say it, even if it's

831
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: only been two or three games. This episode is brought

852
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: great answer in my opinion here it is.

853
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:51,719

Speaker 3: How do you not love that?

857
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 4: You're a good answer because New York they were waiting

858
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 4: for something different, the old. Yeah, I'm giving him my

859
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 4: best shot, you know, you know, I feel good and

860
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 4: answer I will give.

861
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 2: I still feel good. You know, I'm just missing them

862
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 2: all about.

863
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 4: I watched the game of my son, Like I said,

864
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 4: I think he got five or six fastballs in one

865
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 4: of bat and he was either in between or late,

866
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, he's not there right now, He's

867
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 4: not there. And that was like the one in bat

868
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 4: I saw the like big time aut and then he

869
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 4: had an opportunity to win the game and one of

870
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 4: the extra innings and Lindor Soto and he with bases loaded,

871
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 4: nobody out there, one nothing, two out, didn't do anything.

872
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 4: And I'm like, ooh, I texted my son. I'm like

873
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 4: not good, Like I bust my son's chops because he's

874
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 4: a big time that's.

875
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: But it's five minutes and Boba Schet's got the elite

876
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: hit tool.

877
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 2: He will be fine, right, well, pump the brakes, right.

878
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 2: What are we gonna say to Kratzy?

879
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 4: Maybe I should be like Kratzy then and be like, man, yeah, no,

880
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 4: swing's not there.

881
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 2: He's not gonna do good. He's gonna do great.

882
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 5: Exactly.

883
00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 2: Sorry, he's gonna do great.

884
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 5: Now, that's exactly what you just said. You got you

885
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 5: got on me for forgetting for being honest. You saw it,

886
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 5: you saw the honest he was laid on the fastball.

887
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 5: That's it's part of the season. Like you can't you

888
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 5: can't go up. You can't go up in the big

889
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 5: leagues and be like, you know what, I'm not feeling it.

890
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 5: Just you know, I'm I'm gonna be able to I'll

891
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,439
Speaker 5: be fine, Like I'll get hits. He knows heard John

892
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 5: Crupp say at one time he was like nobody ever

893
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 5: got booed in Philly as the home player because they

894
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,479
Speaker 5: were booing them or in a situation where you weren't

895
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 5: booing yourself, like Bobachett's not sitting there, Like, how could

896
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 5: these guys be saying this New York is a monster? No,

897
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 5: it's not like relax like Boba Schett is going to

898
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 5: probably lead the league in hits. And I'll tell you

899
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 5: why because unless he's injured, which I don't think he's injured,

900
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 5: he is going to get pitches to hit, and he

901
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 5: can hit pitches out of the zone. When he gets

902
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 5: his timing going, he will be one of the better

903
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 5: hitters and he'll be up in the top top three

904
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 5: in hits in the league. I think he's gonna lead

905
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 5: the league in hits because of the fact that he

906
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 5: has Lindor around him, that he has Juan Soto around him,

907
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:21,280
Speaker 5: that he has a lineup that is going to enable

908
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 5: him to get pitches. He's gonna swing at a lot of pitches,

909
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 5: so Mets fans pump the brakes when he swings at

910
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:31,439
Speaker 5: a bad pitch. It's okay because Boba Schet's not gonna walk.

911
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 5: You're gonna have Juan Soto hitting near him in the lineup,

912
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 5: and you're gonna be like, well, why doesn't he just

913
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 5: do it like Wan does Yo? I love Sodo. He's

914
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 5: always walking all the time. No, Like, that's not bo.

915
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 5: Bo's gonna He's gonna get close to two hundred hits.

916
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 5: If not, he clips it. This year. So you're going

917
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 5: to have days where the swing and the timing of

918
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 5: the pitches aren't quite there, and that's okay.

919
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,799
Speaker 3: Yeah he's gonna be fine. Great, great answer, just an

920
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 3: A plus answer to the crowd.

921
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 4: And if you're a Mets fan, you're like, all right, respect,

922
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 4: I'll put a smile.

923
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 3: Yep, respect. I should have buded me sooner. That's good.

924
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: It's like taking a shot, but for fun in a

925
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: way where you understand your fan base. Now, we have

926
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: a quick graphic to show everyone on the opening day

927
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: rosters who was old and who is young? Talking about teams, krats,

928
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,959
Speaker 1: the oldest team is the Atlanta Braves. The youngest team

929
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: the Saint Louis Cardinals.

930
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 5: And look at the LA Dodgers. Everyone's like, oh, they

931
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 5: got their middle of the pack. Saint Louis Cardinals. Good

932
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 5: for you. You got rid of all your players. That's

933
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 5: all that means. Atlanta has been building this roster. They're

934
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 5: not I wouldn't even say they're that old. I would

935
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 5: not have said that, but they're all aging together.

936
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 2: Yeah.

937
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 1: There just aren't many rookies on that team, right. If

938
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: you get a few, well there's one. How you say,

939
00:44:55,520 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: dider Fuentes. He's twenty, right, so he brings that average down.

940
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: But then basically everybody else is dirting their spikes. So

941
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: that's a big difference there, and that includes even you know,

942
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: a more veteran bullpen, right. You just look up and

943
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: down the board, and Chris Sale obviously brings the number up.

944
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: But yeah, I agree. I don't look at that team

945
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: and go, oh, this team's old. I just I think

946
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys are or should be in

947
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 1: their prime years. When you go by the yeah, I

948
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: think it's like.

949
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 5: You said, it's the average, it's the average age of

950
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 5: the team. It brings it all up because they don't

951
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 5: have those young guys. I'm sure the Padres. I didn't

952
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 5: even see the Padres on there. I forgot to look

953
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 5: at it. But talking to Mason Miller, I was like,

954
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 5: in my head, I'm going through their roster. I'm like,

955
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:39,880
Speaker 5: they don't have a lot of young guys on there.

956
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 5: I mean, I get it, Jackson Merrill's on there, Fernando

957
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 5: Tatis isn't that old. But teams that want to win

958
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 5: usually are going for those prime age veterans that will

959
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 5: bring your age. I was surprised the Phillies. The Phillies

960
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 5: aren't one of the I thought the Phillies would be

961
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 5: one of the top old teams. But they're ten, top five,

962
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 5: they're top ten.

963
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: They're top ten. They look like they're eight or nine.

964
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: San Diego's right next to them. Texas Yankees Mets are

965
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: also very old.

966
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 5: Show me the Money.

967
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 1: This one slipped in right after our show ended on Friday.

968
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: Shane Boz an extension with the Baltimore Orioles, So he's

969
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: going to spend more time with the team sixty eight

970
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:34,279
Speaker 1: million bucks five years. And it was funny when they

971
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:34,839
Speaker 1: talked to him.

972
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:35,240
Speaker 3: Kratz.

973
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 1: He was like, no, you don't know me well yet

974
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: Os fans, but I'm going to bring it for you

975
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:42,240
Speaker 1: every day.

976
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 3: I mean he just joined the team.

977
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 5: I mean just joined the team. And they said, you

978
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,400
Speaker 5: know what, we like the fact that you made all

979
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 5: your starts last year. We like the fact that I

980
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 5: get it you're with the Rays, but they don't have

981
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,439
Speaker 5: all the answers and the number the numbers not bad

982
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 5: on both sides. Like I get it. People are like, oh, man,

983
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 5: if he hits his potential, yeah, I get that too,

984
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 5: But good for the Orioles, saying you know what, We're

985
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 5: not gonna go out and make that mega splash in

986
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 5: the free agency market, but we're definitely not gonna let

987
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 5: some of these guys go after I was kind of

988
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 5: against them letting Grayson Rodriguez go because I thought he

989
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 5: would kind of be that guy. They didn't see it

990
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 5: that way. So good for them not only going and

991
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 5: making the move for a guy they like, but doubling

992
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,280
Speaker 5: down on it and saying we're gonna keep him around.

993
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 5: I thought they should have done this with Corbyn Burns. Hey,

994
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 5: you know what, Corbyn Burns missed the entire year with

995
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 5: Tommy John So the Orioles they're making moves. Obviously, he's

996
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 5: got to go out and do what he did last

997
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 5: year because making all your starts. This, if he just

998
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 5: makes all his starts, I don't care really how he does.

999
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 5: He makes his starts in the big leagues. This contract's

1000
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 5: worth every penny.

1001
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Burns is getting four x on guaranteed dollars

1002
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: compared to this. It's different because Boz is going through

1003
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,720
Speaker 1: his arbitration years right now. They bought out two years

1004
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: of free agency for Boz last year. Full starts, the peripherals,

1005
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: the stuff plus numbers things that front offices love looked good.

1006
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 1: The road numbers and the or sorry, the home numbers

1007
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 1: and the home homer numbers were not great, but he

1008
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: was pitching in a minor league park where there were

1009
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: more homers, so that was part of the mix there too.

1010
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1011
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that this is going to turn

1012
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,399
Speaker 1: out to be quite the bargain. I think this guy's

1013
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,239
Speaker 1: going to be good. I think the floor is like

1014
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: a three starter and the ceiling is a two or

1015
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: one starter in terms of stuff. And he was drafted

1016
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen. Last year was his full, first full season.

1017
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: It's like eight years later, you're a pitcher, arms of

1018
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,000
Speaker 1: taking time bomb. You take these deals when you get

1019
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,760
Speaker 1: that opportunity, and you're Shane Boss quickly on Nico Horner,

1020
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: we learned it's one forty one over six because we

1021
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: did that talk last week, and there are ten million dollars.

1022
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 3: Of deferred money. Deferred money in there.

1023
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: Let's show the Bob Night and l Tweed, he said,

1024
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: anyone accusing the Cubs for ruining baseball. They have easily

1025
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: spent more money than any team in baseball this winter,

1026
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: four hundred eighty eight million dollars after Nico Horner's six.

1027
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna comment on the tweet.

1028
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 5: That's exactly right, Bob. All it is is people hating

1029
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 5: on the Dodgers because they ate him. Don't hate him

1030
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,240
Speaker 5: because you ain't them. You know what, people had opportunities

1031
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 5: to knock the big bad Dodgers off. Now the Cubs

1032
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 5: are gonna be the big bad Cubs. And if they win,

1033
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 5: are people gonna say the same thing. I don't know,

1034
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 5: but like no, like good for the Cubs, good for

1035
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 5: Nico Horner, good and deferred money cheaters, freaking cheaters, all.

1036
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: Of them, all fifteen teams that are doing it. Thirty

1037
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: six career homers entering this year, and gets that kind

1038
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: of money for everything else he.

1039
00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 3: Does, which is really cool.

1040
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 1: Hey, let's slap and a shout out to Dom Smith,

1041
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: who unfortunately lost his mother just thirteen days prior to

1042
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: that walk off Grand Slam he had over the weekend.

1043
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 1: She lost a battle with cancer. Dom had the big

1044
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: Granny in front of a pat house in Atlanta. Just

1045
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: a really cool moment for Himocrat, a guy who's bounced

1046
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: around the league a little bit. And then he said,

1047
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: Ronald mccuney Junior signed a baseball for the fan who

1048
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 1: caught it so that they could get the baseball back.

1049
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 5: That's awesome, that's awesome. She was diagnosed in September, I think,

1050
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 5: is what I remember him saying, and like he had

1051
00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 5: to deal with it the entire offseason. Here's a lot

1052
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 5: of uneasiness, uncertainty about, oh am, I going to do

1053
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 5: well this year. I worked so hard all this stuff.

1054
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 5: Spring went good, it went bad, blah blah blah. To

1055
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 5: deal with that off the field also, and then to

1056
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 5: be able to hit this absolutely awesome home run coming

1057
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 5: off the bench. He's never going to be the starter

1058
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,839
Speaker 5: on this team because unless there's injuries, so I mean,

1059
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:09,760
Speaker 5: just epic story. Feel awful for him is for losing

1060
00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 5: his mom, but to be able to do this on

1061
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 5: the field, it kind of gave him, hopefully, gave him

1062
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 5: some reprieve during a tough time.

1063
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: And for the Braves a much better start to their

1064
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 1: season than last year when they went oh and seven.

1065
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,360
Speaker 1: Alex Anthopolis was talking about how they also were on

1066
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: the road right before that for an exhibition series against

1067
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 1: the Cubs. Then they went there, so they felt like

1068
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 1: they were on the road forever. Did you know that

1069
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,799
Speaker 1: this was the first home opener for Austin Riley. That's

1070
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: how long it had been since the Braves played at

1071
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 1: home to start their season. The schedule at the beginning

1072
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: of the year is always so weird strange. Who do

1073
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: you got today?

1074
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 3: By the way?

1075
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1076
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:48,399
Speaker 5: Chinese typeey little WBC Chinese typey hat. The WBC hats

1077
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 5: are so cool. The logo just popped. But that opening

1078
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 5: day stuff, I don't get it. All cold weather teams

1079
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 5: should be down south.
