I think maybe were we talking about tomorrow Friday? 17 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: Yeah? 18 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, So we'll set a time.

But I'm thinking, you know, what 21 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 3: is it a seven o'clock start tomorrow? Maybe we should 22 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 3: do it like an hour before the game hour and 23 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 3: a half FP and people can throw questions our way, 24 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 3: will answer live. 25 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: We're gonna do it live in a kayak from McCovey Covetory. 26 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 3: Laptops would not would not take well to that. 27 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, well either with all the. 28 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: Dorks and McCovey coves. I mean, all right, we got 29 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 2: lots to talk about. Let's start with what happened in 30 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: the game yesterday. The Giants dropped a tough one. They're 31 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 2: going for the sweep, and things got weird, and Jose 32 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: but came out of there and went of the game 33 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: that he came out We'll get to Jose but a second. 34 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: But something went viral on the internet yesterday and it 35 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: was Matt Chapman. He made a couple of throws across 36 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: the bag. 37 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: There SHANEA. Ruben's article on it from. 38 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: The Chronicle, A couple of throws across the infield and 39 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 2: Casey Schmid, what was up the line? A little bit 40 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: not an easy play, but maybe for a guy that's 41 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 2: playing first his entire career, a little bit easier. And 42 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: then the one that he just stretched too soon, it 43 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: went over his head. He went to the mound just 44 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: a little recap and he told him to catch the 45 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 2: f and ball. 46 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: Catch the f and ball. I'll let you go first. 47 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: Susan, Your thoughts on Chapman's reaction to Smid at first 48 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 2: base yesterday, Well, I. 49 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 3: You know, I like the fact that Matt Chapman's fiery. 50 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: He's always been like this. This is nothing new. I 51 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 3: he wants to win so badly, and he's such an 52 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 3: elite defender. He expects everyone around him to be elite, 53 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: and it's the big leagues. That's fair. I loved Casey 54 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 3: Schmidt's response, which was essentially like, yeah, I gotta be better. 55 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: Chapman's always got my back. He's my guy. I've got 56 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 3: no problem. You know, if you're swearing at a guy 57 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: on the field and the cameras pick it up, it 58 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 3: looks it looks like you're showing your teammate up, and 59 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 3: people might take it that way. But these guys have 60 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 3: a long history together. Chapman has really really supported Casey Schmidt, 61 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 3: and Casey Schmidt is playing out of cazition because of 62 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: Matt Chapman. Otherwise he might be the Giants third basement 63 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 3: right now. That's his position. First base is not his position. 64 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 3: He's got twenty four games well twenty five now in 65 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: the big leagues. He played seven games there this spring, 66 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 3: not the bulk of his time during the spring. I 67 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 3: think he played in twenty four games during the spring, 68 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 3: in seven were at first base, very little time in 69 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 3: the minor leagues. He's not a first baseman. He's a 70 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 3: good fielder, he's got a good glove. But we know 71 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: he misplayed those balls. He said, I've got to get 72 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 3: off the bag on the first one. The second one, 73 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: I hung back a little bit too long, so or 74 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: he actually did did you should have hung back a 75 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 3: little bit more? 76 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: So? 77 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 3: He's learning the position the same way Bryce Eldridge is. 78 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 3: He's better, I think, But Bryce Eldridge is a bigger target. 79 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 3: Obviously he's not on the roster right now. But my 80 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: biggest question is FP. Whyas Gerar and Carnassium on the 81 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 3: roster right now. We assumed he would be sort of 82 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 3: splitting time at first base with Devers and with Devs 83 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 3: not playing first base. Yet we have yet to see 84 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 3: in Carnassi on there. What's happening? 85 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: Not sure I think I'll play there tonight as a 86 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 2: Giants take on the Mets and face a lefty. I 87 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if you see Gerard first base. I 88 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 2: don't know any inside information, but based on the events 89 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 2: of what happened, I'll just say this about Casey, I'm 90 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 2: a huge fan. The big Leagues isn't a place to 91 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: learn how to play first base. The big Leagues isn't 92 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 2: a place to learn how to do anything. It's not 93 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: a try league. 94 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: It's a do league. And so. 95 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: While he hasn't played a lot of first base, everybody 96 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: thinks you could just stick anybody at first and you can't. 97 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: I love the fact that there was some fire for 98 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 2: Matt Chapman. This team needs fire, and I think Tony 99 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 2: Vitello had his greatest quote of the year so far 100 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: when he said, it's like two brothers play in the backyard. 101 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: You throw it to one and he misses it, and 102 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: you say, catch. 103 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: The E F and ball. 104 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 2: And that's what it's kind of been with Chapman and Schmid. 105 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: It's been his little brother chap He's taking Casey under 106 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: his wing, kind of showed him some nuances at third 107 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: base how to be a big league of things in 108 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 2: the club. So that was this big brother, little brother 109 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: kind of thing. But I loved every minute of it. 110 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 2: I went on Twitter yesterday and I said, we should 111 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: all make T shirts that say catch the effing ball 112 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: with the F word on it, and Giants fan should 113 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: I mean you know nothing like it or catch the 114 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,160 Speaker 2: effing ball. I think catch the effing ball should be 115 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,239 Speaker 2: the Giant slogan moving forward. I thought it was great. 116 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 2: I loved everything about it because they want to win. 117 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 2: He was frustrated. And as a player, whether it was 118 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 2: David Sagi or J. T. Snow, I was lucky enough 119 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: to have a lot of great first basement in my career. 120 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: And they pick you up, they save you errors over 121 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 2: the course of a season. They pick balls in the 122 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: dirt that you screw up, they jump up and come 123 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,559 Speaker 2: down and tag the runner on high throws. They save 124 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: you airs. Good first basement, they don't cost you errors. 125 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 2: And yesterday Casey Schmid costs Matt Chapman, who has a 126 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: chance to be a Platinum Glove winner, and air and 127 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: maybe cost them the game. 128 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: But I love the accountability of scoring change. 129 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: It was two errors on Chapman. 130 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: It's two errors on Chapman. 131 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 3: Whereas it was a scoring change today. 132 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, one wasn't. 133 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: Chapman's r Casey Smith went from six feet tall to 134 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: four foot eight when he stretched way too soon on 135 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,119 Speaker 2: that and that was a good throw. So that's dumb 136 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 2: and whoever changed that doesn't know what they're doing. 137 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: If it was changed level, I don't care. I mean, 138 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: I know a little bit about baseball and that wasn't her. 139 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: But I like the fire. 140 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: And when you're with somebody for seven months, eight months, 141 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 2: every single day, there's little arguments in the clubhouse all 142 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 2: the time, we've seen fights. 143 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: None of that's a big. 144 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: Deal when you've done that and been behind closed doors. 145 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 2: I mean, ideally you don't want it to be out 146 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 2: of the mound, but if emotion takes over, emotion takes over, 147 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 2: who cares. I mean, you could have said it, you 148 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 2: could have set it into your glove like gotch daff 149 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: and ball, but who cares? I think it had more 150 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 2: meaning that he just set it and didn't care about 151 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 2: the cameras because Chapman's had a certain status in his 152 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 2: career where he is one of the leaders, if not 153 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 2: the leader of the team and he can say whatever 154 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 2: the hell he wants. 155 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: Well, that was my question for you, since as a 156 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 3: former player, is that showing up your teammate when you're 157 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 3: doing it in camera, whether it's on the mound or 158 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 3: in the dugout or coming off the field. 159 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: No showing up your teammates. 160 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 2: If you threw the ball across and you went like 161 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 2: this with your arms and spun in a circle, like 162 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: come on, you got to make the play, that's showing 163 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 2: your teammate up. If a pitcher does that on the 164 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: mound and I'm out there busting my button center field, 165 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: diving for things and I misjudge. 166 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: A ball and he gives me one of the ease, 167 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: that's showing somebody up. 168 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 2: But like an a mound visit and you're emotional and 169 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: you want to win, and it cost you a couple 170 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 2: of runs, you know. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with what 171 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: Matt Chapman did. And I think Casey handled. 172 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: It really well. 173 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 3: Yeah he did. That's about as well as you can 174 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 3: handle a situation like that period, And I don't This 175 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 3: is Chapman. Chapman is fiery. This is why he's one 176 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: of the team leaders. Here really is the issue. I mean, 177 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 3: we talked about first base. Right now, they don't have 178 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 3: a first basement playing first Their best first basement on 179 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 3: the current roster is Raphael Devers. Devers needs to be 180 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,679 Speaker 3: there now. We saw him run, you know, as fast 181 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 3: as he can run pretty much two nights ago. He's 182 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 3: been working out at First Space. Like there's been this 183 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: sort of idea that, oh, he's so hurt he can't 184 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 3: play First He's been out there working out every day. 185 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 3: It doesn't seem like that's been an issue. I think 186 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 3: they're being extra careful. I don't necessarily mind them being careful. 187 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 3: But if he can play for Space, I think it's 188 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 3: probably pretty close to time to getting him out there. 189 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 3: And I certainly hope, like if incarnacionas as you suspect, 190 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 3: is out there against a left hander tonight, I would 191 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 3: love to see Devers in there at least a game 192 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 3: or two the rest of that pretty long series against 193 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 3: the Mets. 194 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: Well, their best first baseman's playing second, in my opinion, 195 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 2: and that's Louisa Rise. 196 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: He's done a nice job. 197 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: Their other best first baseman that is the president of 198 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: Baseball Operations. 199 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: So I think Deffers is going to be great over there, though. 200 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: He's just got to be able to. 201 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: I think, you know, they're worried about like bending over 202 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 2: in the hamstring. 203 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: Maybe we're straight lines a little bit easier. You had 204 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 1: that little. 205 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: Backing last year too, and I do wonder if that 206 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 3: comes into play, you know, maybe something like that. But 207 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 3: he's working out there. What's the difference. 208 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I don't know anything, but I think 209 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 2: you'll see her in Carnacion over there tonight getting his 210 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 2: first start against the lefty and Devas. Maybe d Agent 211 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 2: or Devers could be playing first base. But you like, 212 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: back to my initial point, you can't learn how to 213 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 2: play a position at the big league level. There's been 214 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 2: so many times in the past, not with this regime, 215 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 2: but the past regime they're just like, oh, let's try 216 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: this guy at third and he's never played it before, 217 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 2: and you're going to play it at the highest level 218 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 2: when the games move with the fastest, with the greatest 219 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 2: players in the world. You can't learn positions at the 220 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 2: big league level. You have to learn them at the 221 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 2: minor league level. You have to learn him at spring training. 222 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 2: It's a tough place to learn, man, it really is. 223 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 224 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about Logan Web in game two of 225 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: the series. 226 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 2: I really want to touch on that today because it 227 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 2: was one of my favorite Logan Web starts in a 228 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 2: long time, and the reason being, and I said this 229 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 2: on KMBR yesterday, is that when I was in DC, I. 230 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: Got to watch Max Schurzer pitch every five days. 231 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: And my favorite Max Surezer starts weren't when he went 232 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 2: seven shut out and struck out fifteen. It was when 233 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 2: he had his B or C stuff and how as 234 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 2: a veteran he had to figure it out on the fly, 235 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 2: what was working, what wasn't working, make adjustments on the 236 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 2: fly and battle and grind to get the win. And 237 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 2: that's exactly what Logan Web reminded me of the other day, 238 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 2: where you know, he had the tough second ending against 239 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 2: the Yankees and all of a sudden, X breaking loose 240 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 2: and he figures it out. And I don't know if 241 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: it was a combination of adjustments or he just got pissed. 242 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: I think he just got pissed after he struck out 243 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: the side in the fifth and he got the three 244 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 2: ground balls out in the sixth. But that's that's what 245 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: veterans do, where maybe younger guys don't do, is you know, 246 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 2: you find a way to get through it, You find 247 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 2: a way to battle, you find a way to grind. 248 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 2: And that was one of my favorite starts. He talked 249 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 2: about the Navy Seals and being at Coronado and how 250 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 2: hard they worked out and that kind of inspired him. 251 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: Whatever happened out there after the fourth inning, he had 252 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 2: a little bit of time to regroup in the dugout, 253 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,199 Speaker 2: he figured it out, battled, and he got the win. 254 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: So kudos to him. That was awesome. 255 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: Well, kudos to him, and kudos to Tony Vitello too 256 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 3: for sticking with him. Tony took some heat in the 257 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 3: opener for not taking web out in the second inning, 258 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 3: which I wouldn't take Logan Web out in the second 259 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 3: inning either. I think he made the right decision there, 260 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 3: but he took some heat. And all eyes are on 261 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 3: Tony Vytello. Right, you make a right move. Nobody says anything. 262 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: You make the wrong mood, everyone jumps on you. That's 263 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 3: the nature of managing basically all the time, but especially 264 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 3: when you're under a microscope the way he is, and 265 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 3: he did the right thing, and with your ace, you 266 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 3: always try to give them a little extra leeway. Oh, 267 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 3: you've got to believe in your ace. And if you 268 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 3: don't believe in Logan web Man, I maybe you lose 269 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 3: the rotation. Just in general, you have got to have 270 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 3: faith in your horse and logan web is that and 271 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 3: they appreciate that and they respond to that kind of belief, right. 272 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 3: I mean, that's what you always hear pitchers say, is like, 273 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 3: like you know, the manager said, like you got him 274 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 3: this inning, go get him, And that's every little bit helps. 275 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: You show confidence in me, I show confidence in you. 276 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: That's how the whole thing works. And I think the 277 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: little eye manager in. 278 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: The minor leagues, as it was told to me by 279 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: a veteran once, that you can see with your eyes 280 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 2: what's happening on the mound real time. 281 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: When you go to the bullpen. 282 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: And those barn doors open up and they run out. 283 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 2: You sometimes don't know what you're gonna get from a reliever, 284 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 2: but you know what you got from your ace. And 285 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 2: he has resume. He earned the right to go back 286 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 2: out there and to figure it out where. That's something 287 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 2: that you learn how to do over the years. And 288 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: I was really proud of him. Yeah, we love him. 289 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 2: He's a guest of the show and he's just one 290 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 2: of the greatest guys in the world. So that was 291 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 2: pretty cool. Speaking of the gates opening up, jose Boutou 292 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: yesterday looked a little bit off from the jump right. 293 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: He's been so reliable for the Giants. It was a 294 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 2: great get from Buster Posey for the Mets last year. 295 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: The guy's got a nasty slider. 296 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: He throws ninety six as the last he was down 297 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: is man was nowhere to be found yesterday, and we 298 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 2: haven't seen that yet. So my first thought was, something's 299 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 2: wrong with them. And I guess something was wrong with him. 300 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 2: He strained his arm some way, shape or form, and 301 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 2: I'm not sure how he'll be back. And I know 302 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 2: you're texting me to go to a commercial right now, 303 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: so I can see you look at your phone. So 304 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 2: let's take care of some business and we'll talk about 305 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 2: Jose Boutteau in a second. 306 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: AJ. 307 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 4: This episode is brought to you by our friends at 308 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 4: Fox one.

Your thoughts on Jose 326 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 2: Bueau I just shared online. 327 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, we always worry about guys who pitch in the 328 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 3: WBC Venezuela went deep, obviously fantastic. I'm a little worry. 329 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 3: You know what guy comes out holding his forearm. It's 330 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 3: usually something that's at least in IL. So, hey, maybe 331 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 3: we get Dylan Smith. It was acquired, you know, a 332 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 3: few days ago when when Luis Matos got traded to 333 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 3: the Brewers and the Giants also picked up right hander 334 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 3: Dylan Smith. Maybe he's an option. Certainly, they've got guys 335 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 3: at Sacramento that we saw during the spring who are 336 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 3: also potential options. But I've got to think that they 337 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 3: want to be careful with Bueaux. You know, they don't 338 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 3: have a lot of back end options, experienced, high leverage 339 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 3: type guys he's one. He's certainly not going to be 340 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 3: availab tonight, so I would say kind of a bomber. Right, 341 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 3: You're facing his old team, and I'm sure he wouldn't 342 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 3: love to be available for this, but I hope they're 343 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 3: extra cautious with him, get him completely checked out. I'm 344 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 3: sure they will, but it'll be interesting to see the 345 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 3: choice in the bullpen. The bullpen's been kind of a 346 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 3: bright spot so far. We touched on that the last show, 347 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 3: you know, after the Yankees series was such a bummer 348 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 3: I think overall, but the not the bullpen. The bullpen 349 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 3: looked pretty good, So I hope this doesn't disrupt things. 350 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 3: I would certainly hope that Jose bhutto it's just like, 351 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 3: you know whatever, one of those little dead arm kind 352 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 3: of things that sometimes guys get near the end of 353 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 3: spring training. You throw in a little bit of WBC. 354 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 3: Maybe it's something like that. But yeah, the velocity was down. 355 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 3: He didn't look right. He hasn't quite looked right, So 356 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 3: fingers crossed, everything goes well there. 357 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: I think I heard somebody say on this show that 358 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: they were strangely confident in the bullpen. 359 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: I'm not going to take a victory lap just yet. 360 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: But so far, so far, so there was this guy 361 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: right here. 362 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 3: I was worried. I'm still worried. I don't I'm not 363 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 3: quite Look I really like a lot of the guys 364 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 3: in the bullpen individually. I'm still not one hundred percent 365 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 3: convinced that this is one of the better bullpens in 366 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 3: the league. And to continue, you really need that. But 367 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 3: maybe some young guys will about Like Keaton Win. You 368 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 3: want one young guy to step up at least to 369 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 3: have a really good bullpen, and right now Keaton Win 370 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 3: looks like he's ready to do it, and a former 371 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 3: starter suddenly kind of blossoing him blossoming into a nice 372 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 3: option in the bullpen. That's what the Giants have kind 373 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 3: of been waiting for. So that might change the complexion 374 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 3: of things. But they still need they need some experienced 375 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 3: leverage guys, so losing Bhuttou would be would be a blow, 376 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 3: especially if it's for any amount of significant significant time. 377 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: Could be closer. Could you hear that? 378 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 3: I don't everyone get that? 379 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: All right? 380 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 2: We got some categories to take care of right now. 381 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 2: The first corny category is coming on, come. 382 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: On, super cool? 383 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 2: I think, all right, Susan, who's coming on strong in 384 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 2: your opinion? 385 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: Next two? 386 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 3: We're two old folks. Nothing we do is cool. Uh 387 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 3: coming on strong? Well, you know what I like? Adamis 388 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 3: is certainly not looking like he did this time last year. 389 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 3: He had the four hit gamee Uh. Nobody in the 390 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 3: Giants lineup really is is hitting a ton a Damas. 391 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 3: I think has the second highest average, and he's now 392 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 3: hitting leadoff, which was kind of unexpected, and he does 393 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 3: seem like maybe he gives them a little bit of 394 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 3: a spark there. I'm not sure that's necessarily the best 395 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 3: place for him, but gosh, he had. He had a 396 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 3: big day when needed, so I'll take it. Willia Domas 397 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 3: is yet another one of the leaders. Is that left 398 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 3: side of the infield. If he's going, especially if he's 399 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 3: up top, the offense is going. You look around the 400 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 3: league and not a lot like hitting is down. I 401 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 3: got to wonder if maybe the abs early in the 402 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 3: season sometimes that's the thing with weather, but I think 403 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 3: some of the abs stuff might be contributing to it too. 404 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 2: Weather and pictures are always ahead of hitters this time 405 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 2: of year, so I'm not really worried about that. It's 406 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 2: a good point about the abs, though, I'm gonna go 407 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 2: with Luisa Rice coming on strong. 408 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: All the worry about him. 409 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 2: At second base in the offseason that he wasn't a 410 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 2: good second base and he's been making plays over there. 411 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 2: He turned a sweet double play with the Damas I 412 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 2: think in Game two of the series that was overturned. 413 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: Did they challenge it and the runner was out? 414 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 2: He made a nice play going into right field and 415 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 2: hitting the pitcher on the fly, which is one of 416 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 2: the hardest things you could do at second base. I 417 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: used to hate that because you used to throw into 418 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 2: a stationary target, but now you have to hit a 419 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 2: moving target like a quarterback after a spin move. So 420 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 2: that was pretty sweet. And I think he's leading the 421 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: team in hitting his he is above three hundred. He 422 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 2: got three hits yesterday. He's turning out to be an 423 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 2: amazing player. And more than any of those things I 424 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 2: just mentioned, he plays with a passion and a spark 425 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 2: every single day. 426 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: His bats are fun to watch. 427 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 2: He's intense between pitches, he steps out, everything's really fast, 428 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 2: and then he calls time out and he's doing his 429 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 2: batting gloves and he gets back in like he's engaged 430 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 2: in everything he does when he stole third against the 431 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 2: Yankees in the home stand because nobody's covering. I love 432 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 2: watching him play baseball. Luis Rise as a baseball player 433 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 2: in every sense of the word. He brings his a 434 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: game every single day. He doesn't take a day off 435 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 2: when he's playing, so I don't know if he's coming 436 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 2: on strong or whatever, but he's playing really well right now. 437 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: All right, our second category is in a funk, so 438 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 2: we covered the guys that are doing well. Susan, I'll 439 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 2: let you go since I just talked who is in 440 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 2: a funk? 441 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 3: In your opinion, Will Devers is the guy. You know, 442 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 3: maybe we could point to you need that big bat 443 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 3: in the lineup going. One of his hits is an 444 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 3: infield hit, which that's great, love him, you know, busting 445 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 3: it to first. But he's not okay like most guys, 446 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 3: he's not really hitting yet. To me, the bigger thing 447 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 3: is that he's not playing first yet. That's not really 448 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 3: on him. I think the medical staff wants to be cautious, 449 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 3: but they need him at first base. It's a little 450 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 3: unfair to say in a funk because he's not playing 451 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 3: the position that really when he's not at the position. 452 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 3: Their lineup is not optimal as far as I'm concerned, 453 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 3: but you know, maybe a little bit. The whole Raphael 454 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 3: Dover's package right now is not quite there, and he 455 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 3: needs to be the big bat and he needs to 456 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 3: be at first I. 457 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: Don't think he likest h I really don't remember. 458 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: Last year he said he felt more part of the 459 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 2: game when he was playing first base. I think when 460 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 2: he starts to play first base, he's. 461 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: Going to start to hit. It's pretty simple. 462 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 2: So hopefully he's out there soon and maybe even tonight 463 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 2: or tomorrow night. Mayana funk Is. Patrick Bailey started the 464 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 2: season two for eighteen. He's at one eleven. I will 465 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 2: say this my greatest year in the big leagues. I 466 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: started one for twenty five, so it's very small sample size. 467 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: It's very early, but I think when. 468 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 2: You couple that with the offensive output he had last year, 469 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 2: the last thing he wanted to do is to get 470 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 2: off to this start offensively. So you might see some 471 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 2: Andrew Susach here coming up a little bit, maybe even 472 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 2: tonight against the lefty. Now that he's back home. He's 473 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 2: from Sacramento. Apparently his whole family's going to be here. 474 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 2: Maybe you see Sussack and the Carnacion both get a 475 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 2: start tonight, But yeah, they need something from Patrick Bailey. 476 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,479 Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be a three hundred hitter, but 477 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 2: it can't be two for eighteen. And I think he 478 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 2: knows that, so I'm not saying anything he doesn't know, 479 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 2: and hopefully as bat picks up a little bit. 480 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. I think more highly of Patrick Bailey 481 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: as a hitter than I think a lot of people do. 482 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 3: I love the way he finished last year, he was 483 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 3: hitting this spring. I think he's a good clutch hitter 484 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 3: to be. The at bats that have been a little 485 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 3: bit more frustrating for him, certainly so far the season 486 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,959 Speaker 3: have been in clutch situations. He's pretty good at getting 487 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 3: runners over, getting runners in. There've been a couple where 488 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 3: he hasn't been able to. I'm sure that's that's rankling him. 489 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 3: The whole lineup's in a little bit of a funk 490 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 3: with you know, Jung hu Lee. Maybe an exception, Arise, 491 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 3: an exception, maybe a Damis, but nobody's really hitting. We 492 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 3: look at the homestad home homestand and the Mets are 493 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 3: coming in, uh for four games. They're not really hitting either. 494 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 3: They're getting superlative pitching. That's going to be the issue 495 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 3: I think in this in this homestand to kind of 496 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 3: jump topics on you, but yeah, I uh, they're They're 497 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 3: really not hitting, maybe even more so than than the Giants. 498 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 3: So it's kind of going around. It's the maybe the 499 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 3: early early season stuff. East Coast teams tend to be 500 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 3: a little bit more affected by stuff like that too early. 501 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Phillies aren't really hitting. They did score six 502 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 2: runs against the Nationals yesterday. 503 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: The Mets were zero. 504 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: For eleven with runners in scoring position yesterday against the Cardinals. 505 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: They lost that one. They're not playing good baseball. 506 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 2: Francisco Lindor was taking a lead and putting on his 507 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 2: ovendmit and the left he just threw over and he 508 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 2: just stood and they tagged him out and then Lindor 509 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 2: got a ground ball. Yesterday, it was a tailor made 510 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 2: double play. He stepped on first and started running into 511 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 2: the dugout and it was only the second out of 512 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 2: the ending. 513 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: He didn't complete the double play. So the Mets aren't 514 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: playing good. 515 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 2: They were one for twenty nine in that series with 516 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 2: runners in scoring position. So it's not who you play 517 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 2: it's when you play them. So we'll see how this 518 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 2: whole thing works out. The Phillies, I've watched a lot 519 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 2: of their games because I'm doing the Philly Series with 520 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 2: John Miller this week on the radio, so I'm excited 521 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 2: for that and been doing my show prep. They're in 522 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 2: a little bit of a funk with runners in scoring position. 523 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: Bryce Harper hasn't heated up yet. They are playing the 524 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 2: Rockies on the way to San Francisco. That tends to 525 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 2: heat up your offense a little bit. Not the Rockies, 526 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 2: and I'm not taking a shot at them. It's just 527 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 2: coors Field. Even when the Rockies were good, they're always 528 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 2: a good place to hit. So we'll see how that goes, 529 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 2: and we'll see how the four game series. 530 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: I hated four game series. 531 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 2: Man, if you're pitching the fourth game of a four 532 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 2: game series and you're on the top step of the 533 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 2: dugout for the first three games, you should know exactly 534 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 2: what you're doing to. 535 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: Every hitter by game four. 536 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 2: And I always thought it was harder to get hits 537 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 2: in game four of a series than it wasn't a 538 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 2: three game series because there's a. 539 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: Lot of recon going on and there's a lot of. 540 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 2: Scouting going on real time, not just the guys advanced scouting, 541 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 2: but there's three games to scout you for Game four, 542 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 2: so we'll see. And that's why I think Dusty used 543 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 2: to always throw out the bench guys on Game four 544 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 2: because there's no book on those guys, and his theory was, 545 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 2: we're all major leaguers and I'm not making my team 546 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 2: any weaker by putting the bench guys out there for 547 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 2: Game four of the series. 548 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: So we'll see big homestand. 549 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 3: Big home stand. Yeah, fun should be. It should be 550 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 3: super fun. I mean, this is two teams that you 551 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 3: know will usually travel pretty well. You know, there will 552 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 3: be some Mets fans there. There certainly will be Phillies 553 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 3: fans there. There always are good teams, all of them. Theoretically, 554 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 3: there's always a little bit of undercurrent there with Bryce 555 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 3: Harper for Giants fans, So extra fun. I'm really looking 556 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 3: forward to it. Weather should be pretty good after maybe 557 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 3: a little bit of rain here today tomorrow, so all 558 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 3: in all fun stuff. But yeah, we'll see what's going 559 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 3: on in first base. To me, that's going to be 560 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 3: the real issue, and the Giants need to get the 561 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 3: bats going. This would be a good time, nice long homestand. 562 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 2: Maybe Bryce gets in a fight with his manager in 563 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 2: Colorado and then the Giants just keep him when he 564 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 2: comes here since they need a first baseman. Maybe maybe, maybe, 565 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 2: maybe that happens. 566 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: So that's my hot take, my super hot take on 567 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: our podcast. 568 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: All right, there's a good job. It's time to go 569 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 2: to the yard. You get ready, I'll see you there 570 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 2: in about it.
