1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: At some point, we got to level off and move 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: towards the act of what you're supposed to be doing 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: as a starting pitcher. That's all I'm saying. So that 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: if we can train guys to stay healthier, this would 5 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: be great, even if it was only five innings. 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 2: Hey, we've got Hall of Famer John Smoltz with us 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 2: now on foul Territory eighteen. 8 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 3: Later eighteen eight team guy eighteen. 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 4: We just had Ken here eighteen and you're skipping your 10 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 4: you're skipping your eight end? 11 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 3: Was this here? 12 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: Is that why the cushion is soul? 13 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 4: That's why it's so fluffed up, And you're skipping your 14 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 4: start next week for your eighth so you get to 15 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 4: fill in, yes, with an All star replacement? 16 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 3: Yeah?

I didn't get my 32 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 3: thirty six holes in Sey. 33 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: This is my pictures. Don't show up to the All 34 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: Star Game? Another one? 35 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 2: Hey, we should start there. What do you think about 36 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: the is it's going to be a massive storyline. Of 37 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 2: course we're excited to see him pitch. 38 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, but played for. 39 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 3: A long time. 40 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 5: You know that deal. 41 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: There's a lot of elements that went wrong and he's 42 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: not one of them. It's not his fault, but a 43 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: lot of people contributed for it even to be a 44 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: situation that we have to discuss. Five or six pitchers 45 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: opted not to be here. That seems to be the 46 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: new thing. And you can understand it. You can make 47 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: an argument with all the injuries and the way the 48 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: game is played and everything else. What what what It 49 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: is very difficult as a former pitcher, is that to 50 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: think that there is not other worthy candidates is where 51 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: the discussion gets awkward. And it's not his fault. He 52 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: is going to be a dynamic, great pitcher. We've just 53 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: never seen this, you know. And I think if you're 54 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: a pitcher and you're playing all first half and you're worthy, 55 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: you're going to feel slighted. You're going to understand some 56 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: components of it. But to me, I don't think you 57 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: can just say it's the one reason why this is wrong. 58 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: There's a lot of reasons that contributed to why it's wrong. 59 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 3: Would which leads me to my next question one, you 60 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: would have never skipped if you were able to pitch right? No, okay, 61 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 3: I figured that knowing you and your competitive as you 62 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 3: always wanted to be out there. 63 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 64 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: But then, second of all, because of things like this 65 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 3: and even schemes last year with only eleven starts, yeah, 66 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: a lot more than five? Right, should they stop using 67 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 3: All Star games? And I've had this conversation with rosendalvar 68 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 3: Ditch yesterday. Should they stop using Hall of Fames for 69 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 3: or sorry, all Star games for Hall of Fame credentials? 70 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 3: If they're just you know, there's seventy nine All. 71 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: Stars this year. That's that's a lot of that's like. 72 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 3: Ten percent over ten percent of the league. 73 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of All Stars. 74 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 3: So oh, you get an All Star game, and you 75 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 3: get an All Star game because all these players are 76 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 3: opting out. 77 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: So is it? Is it? 78 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 3: I don't want to say it's cheapened it, but has 79 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 3: it lessened the aura of I'm in a Major League 80 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 3: All Star. 81 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: You can make that argument and be a strong argument. 82 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: I agree. I went to eight. I went to seven, 83 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: I was selected to eight, I got hurt, and it 84 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: went on the IL. I think the game and the 85 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 1: idea of the game has changed from the expectation of 86 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: the player. A lot of things have changed that take 87 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: it away from where it is an honor. It should 88 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: be an honor. It should be based on your resume, 89 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: and now you can get selected and not even go. 90 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: And I think, look, I'm going to be the old 91 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: guy on the law and if I keep saying that, 92 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: you know, I think the All Star Game, and you've 93 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 1: heard me say this, I am one hundred percent confident 94 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: all the discussions would go away if we had a 95 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: World versus USA All Star Game. I've said it for years. 96 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: Hockey just went through it. It exploded. I don't watch 97 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: a lot of hockey. I didn't miss one second of 98 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: that All Star I didn't. I thought it was compelling. 99 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: I thought it was incredible. Guys were playing hurt, Guys 100 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: missed the second half of their season because of that. 101 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: With that comes that expectation that you are showcasing the 102 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: greatest athletes on our planet, and we would have a 103 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: roster that you could talk about on both sides that 104 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: you could go, I don't know who's gonna win now. 105 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: Is the World Baseball Classic the reason we're not going 106 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: to that? Yes, it could be, it could, But the 107 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic has its own unique other countries that 108 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: other players aren't in the current system that we have. 109 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: And I'm just saying, if you have me, give me 110 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: a chance to put a USA jersey on you gotta 111 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: I gotta have a broken arm to now want to 112 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 1: put a jersey. 113 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 3: That's four Nations Cup that. Remember the Kachucks versus was 114 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: it Russia or Canada? They dropped the gloves and fought 115 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 3: right absolutely and everyone the next game, everyone, the whole 116 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 3: everyone was watching. 117 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: But they think that, but saying that we still have 118 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: the best All Star game of any sport, Yes, it's 119 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: not even We're not. We're not. I'm not saying this 120 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: is not a great game. I'm saying that to your 121 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: point on the amount of players and the amount of 122 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: change to get ready for this game. I don't even 123 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: look at two days leading up because so many things change. 124 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: You could be working on it, you know. So there's 125 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot of discussion every All 126 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: Star game about players picked or not picked. That's never 127 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: going to change. But I'm just I just think that 128 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: USA versus World eventually is going to happen. Scott, You 129 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: have a Built rewards card, right. 130 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: I do CRATS.

Make sure to use our URL 151 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 5: so that they know we sent you. 152 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 4: You would have to still pick the All Stars, so 153 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 4: it couldn't just be the best American players versus the 154 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 4: best world players, because then it would just like guys 155 00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 4: wouldn't make Allso why not? 156 00:06:59,520 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 5: Why not? 157 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 4: Because then you're then they're gonna be like, well, should 158 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 4: Trout be in based on this year? 159 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: Trout shouldn't be. I think you're still picking the All Stars, 160 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: no doubt. I think there's a bigger. 161 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 4: Wilson is your starting shortstop for the American team. I 162 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 4: think that's where I think it would you would lose 163 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 4: kind of the All Star like aspect of wow, he 164 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 4: was a three time All Star, he was a two 165 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 4: time All Star. 166 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: That kind of thing. I think for a change of pace, 167 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: it's a great change of pace. I'm not saying it 168 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: stays that way. I just think it's a change of pace. Look, 169 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: they tried doing home field advantage to it. I mean, 170 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: there's things you can do, and everybody's trying to figure 171 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: out in other sports how to do it. But the 172 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: choices that other sports have had to make, they just 173 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: canceled theirs because it wasn't working. And so I'm just 174 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: thinking for a change of pace, a one off. I 175 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: think it would be a phenomenal showcase from an international 176 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 1: flavor that we have in our sport to what the 177 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: USA could put together. 178 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 2: Has it been discussed, because I don't know, are you 179 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: during the rules committee? 180 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: No? 181 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: Okay, but has it been discussed? You know, people you 182 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: could throw it out there. 183 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: Oh I'm not afraid to throw anything until somebody says 184 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: stop throwing it out there. But I think there is 185 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: definitely interest that won't The WBC is still going to 186 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: take precedent, and I get it. The difference is you've 187 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: got guys in their prime conditioning, ready to go now 188 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: versus what that tournament. To your point, you're not going 189 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: to get certain people in that tournament. I mean, there's 190 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: a bigger issue here that we don't deal with as 191 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: a as an entity and as an organization, and that's injuries. 192 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: Until we start dealing with that until we start looking 193 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: at baseball and seeing why do we keep doing the 194 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: same thing over and over again and not even think 195 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: about prevention of injuries as being a competitive advantage. That 196 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: has to be at the fore front. That has to 197 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: be something that organizations Major League Baseball. We can't keep 198 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: turning our head going it is what it is. Nobody 199 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: gets in trouble when somebody gets hurt. People get in 200 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: trouble when they're era, or their velocity dips or any 201 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: of the stuff. People get hurt. Shucks. 202 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 5: Can you incentivize teams on that front? 203 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: Absolutely, it's going to be coming that that rule change 204 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: is coming. But what I'm shocked at is why, in 205 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: all of our analytical world that we live in today, 206 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: with all the competitive advantage that you want, and let's 207 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: just say it's only two point five between the last 208 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: place team and the greatest team of analytics, it's not 209 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: that big a gap anymore, Why isn't somebody trying to 210 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: zig when everyone else's zagging is saying we're going to 211 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: start having a competitive advantage by keeping our guys healthy 212 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: no matter what happens. And over time, I would argue 213 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: you're going to gain a bigger advantage than if you 214 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: just say, hey, this team had a bunch of injuries, 215 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: we got lucky one year, Like this is not something 216 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: you're escaping and I'm shocked at ten years this has 217 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: been going on that nobody in an organization says we 218 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: are going to reinvestigate, reinvest in different commodities in different ways. 219 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: To see these three pitchers that I have as studs, 220 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: I want them healthy next year or I want them 221 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: healthy in the next two years. If you're put in 222 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: charge of that, what's the first thing that you implement. 223 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: The first thing I'm implementing is getting away from all 224 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: the information that's driving the training to just max effort. 225 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: I'm getting away from it. I'm not going to be 226 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: obsessed by it. If you have the ability to do it, 227 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: use it wisely. Don't use it every single time you 228 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: have to go into the minor leagues and go, guys, 229 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: I don't want you empty in the tank now every 230 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: single pitch. I don't want you to throw one hundred 231 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: miles an hour. But guess what in the sixth inning, 232 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: when you want it, do it. That's the difference. And 233 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: when you're addicted to something, you're going to keep wanting 234 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: that addiction. If you're addicted to velocity, you're on it. 235 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: You can't stand looking at a guy that can pitch. 236 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: It doesn't fit the model. It's like that guy's going 237 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: to give up eight one day, so what, so what 238 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: he's going to pitch thirty five times? He might have 239 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: a three point nine era, so what? You don't want 240 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: five of them? But you got to have some sprinkled 241 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: in that give you the stability to go. That guy's 242 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: not getting hurt unless it's freakish. But why are we 243 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: having a conversation going? Man, these guys are there, by 244 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 1: the way, they're the greatest arms I've ever seen. And 245 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: but what is the narrative? When's he getting his? When's 246 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: COMMI John coming for this guy? No one has escaped it. 247 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: That's what blows my mind. Like everyone that wanted to 248 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: beat me up and cut my legs out ten years ago, 249 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: they're the ones not saying a word right now. They're 250 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: the ones saying, oh, I can't argue with them because 251 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: he's been right. And but yet they're they can't do 252 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: anything about it because they don't like getting away from 253 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: what that model spits out. And when you throw a 254 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: baseball and you and you turn your head and look 255 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: at a computer. There's something inherently wrong with that because 256 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: that's driving the reward system, that's driving what a player thinks, 257 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: and it takes away the athleticism and the ability for 258 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 1: him to be great over a long period of time. 259 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 3: Here's the problem with that, And I agree with everything 260 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,599 Speaker 3: you just said. One, it starts in the youth. Is 261 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 3: even the youth. Now, my high school, my Sun's high 262 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: school has all the all the information, every picture. Oh 263 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 3: how hard was that one? What's the vert what's the horizontal? 264 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 3: It's all there for every and every tournament they play 265 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 3: in has all the information. So you got to get 266 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 3: rid of it there, which is or you use it differently, 267 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 3: which I think people need to be educated to use 268 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 3: it smartly. 269 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 4: Right. 270 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,839 Speaker 3: And then the minor leagues are also a problem. The 271 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: minor leagues is the minor leagues are set up. They 272 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 3: get every Monday off, they play six game series. Pitchers 273 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 3: from high school college minor leagues pitch once a week, 274 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 3: starting pictures. Then we call them up here and say, hey, 275 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 3: by the way, you're pitching every fifth day. 276 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: They've never done in their life. It's a bad reward system. 277 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 1: I've heard this argument until I'm blow in the face 278 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,679 Speaker 1: that it's a youth problem. It is not. It's a 279 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: major League Baseball problem. They're creating the youth problem. It's 280 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: the reward The only way you get signed is you've 281 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: got to have these metrics. And if that's the reward system, 282 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 1: I don't blame a kid, I don't blame a high school. 283 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: I don't blame an academy just getting the most they 284 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: can out of an eight year old. The problem is, 285 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: if we don't change our reward system, none of this 286 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: is going to change. So when you lose pitchers, pitchers, 287 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: guys who know how to pitch that don't even get 288 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: looked at, you're going to have this conversation for a 289 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: lot longer. The reason we're sustaining it at this level 290 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: there are so many guys who know how to throw 291 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: a pitch hard, that don't know how to throw it 292 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: anywhere close to the strike zone. They're going to be 293 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: giving those chances over the guy that. Mark my words, 294 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 1: when I'll give it three years, when the generational three 295 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: year pitchers, the great guys that we know, are going 296 00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: to call it career here in the next three years. 297 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: You're never going to see him again, the Verlanders, the Kershaws, 298 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: Adam Wainwright just retired. You're never gonna see Charlie Morton, 299 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: You're never gonna see Zach Wheeler. Like that, to me, 300 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: should be the narrative that organizations are going. Man, we 301 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: got to find a way to reverse this narrative because 302 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: that commodity is getting shorter and shorter and shorter, and 303 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to replace it more and more. 304 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 2: My only thing is from an incentive or a punishment perspective, 305 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 2: How can you do it with injuries? Isn't it easier 306 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: to do it with starters giving length? 307 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: See, it's more to do with I'm not even I'm 308 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: fine with five innings. How about that. You've never heard 309 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 1: me say that, I'm shocked, But those five innings, let's 310 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: just say that. Guys could never pitch over five innings 311 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: ever again. They still can't stay healthy. It's not an 312 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: inning problem. 313 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 3: We've cut innings and pitches and everything way down every year, 314 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 3: and guys still get hurt. 315 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: This is a trainable. This is not impossible to do. 316 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: What's impossible to do is train for max velocity and 317 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: max spin and longevity. It's just impossible. We think we're 318 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: gonna maybe this is fair or not. Nolan Ryan and 319 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: our generation was a freak. They're supposed to be freaks. 320 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: They're not supposed to be twenty of them. There's not 321 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: supposed to be genetically thirty Nolan Ryans. Would you argue 322 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: that there's at least thirty potential Nolan Ryans are more 323 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: in the game today that have been manufactured that are 324 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: not necessarily freaks. And I think that in and of 325 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: itself when I look at the whole history of the game, 326 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: and yes, regression of innings, regression from nineteen hundred to 327 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: where we're at, at some point we got to level 328 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: off and move towards the act of what you're supposed 329 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: to be doing as a starting pitcher. That's all I'm saying. 330 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: So that if we can train guys to stay healthier, 331 00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: this would be great, even if it was only five innings. 332 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 2: The way to buy, sell, or trade your cards is 333 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: Arena Club. It is the top marketplace in the biz 334 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 2: to get that done. 335 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 5: And crats. 336 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: We love the slab pack situation because rolling through a 337 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 2: ton of cards, physically opening them, finding all kinds of 338 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 2: commons that end up folded or in the garbage is 339 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 2: old news. Why not get a slab pack and get 340 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 2: a chance at a card worth thousands of dollars. 341 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 4: I was a common card. It's okay if you don't 342 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 4: get me in your slab pack, because you put as 343 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 4: little as twenty five dollars into for a slab pack, 344 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 4: and you could pull out something that's worth thousands of 345 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 4: dollars and it's a keepsake that you get to like, wait, 346 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 4: you know what, it might be worth this much today, 347 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 4: but I get to watch the value grow. 348 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 2: And right now, you can get twenty percent off your 349 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 2: first slab pack or card purchase by going to Arena 350 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 2: club dot com slash foul and use the code foul. 351 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 2: That's twenty percent off your first card purchase or slab 352 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: pack at arenaclub dot com slash could foul. That takes 353 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 2: us to the last topic, which is the Brave since 354 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 2: they're hosting this whole thing and it's awesome. 355 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 5: Obviously the battery is the gem of the sport. 356 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 2: Really for owners who want to create something like this, 357 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 2: they're missing almost their entire rotation. 358 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, so what are you seeing that's wrong with them this? 359 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 5: Obviously they're not hitting well, either. 360 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: The thing about the Braves, you couldn't ask for a worse, 361 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: greatest year ever in twenty twenty three, Offensively, they set 362 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: every record. They set the bar so high they signed 363 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: six players that everybody was going to keep going like 364 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: this in the trajectory. It doesn't work that way. You 365 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: guys know that it doesn't. So the expectation offensively was 366 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: going to carry this ball club with timely pitching and 367 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: good starting pitching, Well, that offense has not even come 368 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: close to what twenty twenty three is. So that inconsistency 369 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: and their inability to cover the starting rotation now, which 370 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,479 Speaker 1: was awesome, by the way, really good. That with the 371 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 1: combination that inconsistency, that's why you lose close games. You know, 372 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: everyone wants to figure out how does a team one 373 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: year win a bunch of one run games and then 374 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: next year doesn't, Like, how does that work? Well, if 375 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: you've got some flaws in your club, you're not gonna 376 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 1: win a ton of one run games. That's how it works. 377 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: And is it a model to live by. No, But 378 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: you see the teams that win the one run games 379 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: and the ones that don't, and it's pretty obvious you've 380 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 1: got to have a little bit better consistency in certain 381 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: areas that show up as a weakness. 382 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 5: Last one in that division. You like the Metal the 383 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 5: Phillies better. 384 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: I said from the whole part of the season. This 385 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: is gonna be up and down. They're going to switch 386 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: spots at least twenty different times. I don't think any 387 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: one of those teams run away from it. This has 388 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: been the streak. I feel like I'm repeating myself because 389 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: the last three years I said the same thing. This 390 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: is one of the streakiest seasons I've ever seen where 391 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,239 Speaker 1: I can't believe, like the Dodgers lose seven in a row, 392 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: the Red Sox at won ten in a row, the 393 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: Minnesota Twins won whatever ten. 394 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 5: Or the Ruders won seven in a row just now too, 395 00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 5: and they're back in it. 396 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: To me, this is the streakiest. I don't know if 397 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: it's the imbalance of some teams in the schedule and 398 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: when they're playing them, the injuries take a place. I 399 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 1: would have a hard time picking a winner right now 400 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: out of the East, but it's definitely coming from one 401 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: of those two teams, that's safe to say. And I 402 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: think from the central balance there, the West shouldn't. I mean, 403 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,199 Speaker 1: until recently the West was looking like we were all 404 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: thought that the Dodgers were win by double digits. So 405 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 1: there's flaws on every team because of injuries and because 406 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: of lack of pitching. But then you've got some surprises 407 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: like the Detroit Tigers, where you go, come on, now, 408 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: no one thought there'd be a double digit lead at 409 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: the All Star break. Credit them what they did last 410 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: year and what they're doing now. They got a little, 411 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, beat up over this. I always look at 412 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 1: the week before spring, the All Star Game and the 413 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 1: week after. Watch the teams that either lose or gain 414 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: the most games in those two weeks, and you'll see 415 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: that movement drastically changed. Because it's a it's a it's 416 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 1: a tough week for teams. Players are tired, Some are 417 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: going to All Star Game, are like man, all Star 418 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: breaks almost here. You can't let off the gas, you know, 419 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: And some teams really pick up a lot of games 420 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: in those two ten in that ten day spent. 421 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Tigers got swept by the Marinders heading into 422 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 2: the break just now right, Yeah they're a good team, 423 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 2: but still they didn't look like Them's. 424 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: Not the way I'm impressed with the jim nasium that 425 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: you guys are using while you're doing this show all 426 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: the time. All the time. We just it's like a 427 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: two hour show and then we just go lift. It's awesome. 428 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: That's why we're not good putters and golf. 429 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 5: No, yeah, we know him. 430 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 4: It's worked with me quite a bit. I would I 431 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 4: would be I would be remiss. We just hung out 432 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 4: with Andrew Jones. He was here yesterday. You know, different 433 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 4: guys have run through here in Atlanta. Where do you 434 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 4: rank yourself on the echelon of wouldn't have to buy 435 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 4: a beer if all the Braves guys came into the 436 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 4: same bar. 437 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,239 Speaker 1: Oh, if they all came in the same bar, Well, 438 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 1: I don't drink, so that they're not going to buy 439 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: me too many drinks. Pay for your time. I would say, 440 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: as much as this pains me. And he's a neighbor, 441 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: and I play golf with him, and I really don't 442 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 1: like making him feel even bigger than he is. Chipper 443 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: Jones probably is one. He's He's yeah, okay, then are 444 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 1: you second? I don't know if I'm second. I like 445 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: to think I'm in the top three or four of 446 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: the guys that live here. But if you're talking about 447 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: everybody coming back that don't live here, then that changes. 448 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 5: Like nineties braves you're talking about, I'm talking about nineties braves. 449 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: But I also have to throw in Frank cor Yeah. 450 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 3: I know you're going to say Frank Corn.

Here's how it works now, 453 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: and we all get there. If I go to a 454 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: convenience store or gas station and there's a young person 455 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 1: working behind the counter and there's an older gentleman behind 456 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: me freaking out, the young person goes, why is the 457 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: older gentleman freaking out?
