1
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: It's baseball season.

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: Congrats to the Seahawks, AJ's favorite team, second second favorite.

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 3: Whoa whoa whoa Scott.

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: Second, thank you, love you, great job. Won a ton

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: of bets last night. And I don't like the Patriots.

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 3: Chase imagination there. It is chasing just Sam Donald legend,

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 3: Sam Donald Jets legend.

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: Jet's Legend's good for him. The redemption story so good.

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 3: Crowds, I don't think you have your mic on. I don't.

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: I just wanted to see it as sick.

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 3: First time I've ever done that, first time I've ever

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 3: done it. The game last night, by the way, wasn't

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: very good unless you were a Seahawks man.

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 2: It was good for a party because there's just like

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: a few big moments where and it was just like

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: nice background.

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but no, it wasn't a thriller, which is fine.

18
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 3: I didn't want to thriller. I didn't, and that's what

19
00:00:59,520 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: the Patriots.

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: It was the best game, like if you had your

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: bets rolling, there was no sweating.

22
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: It was so nice.

23
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: Dave Poor annoying those guys, all those Pats lovers, hats lovers,

24
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 3: Lucy Burge to come on here a lot.

25
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, well at least Belichick's in the Hall of Fame.

26
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: No, did you see her shirt? And Robert crafton did

27
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: you see Belichick's Girlfriend's shirt?

28
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: I heard she did some slight at them.

29
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: Was it so? When at the she was at the

30
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: UNC Duke game, which, by the way, it was great

31
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 3: college basketball this weekend to the UNC Duke, The Illinois

32
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: Michigan State game was unbelievable. The Kentucky Tennessee game was awesome.

33
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: I know we're a baseball show, but yes, Belichick's girlfriend

34
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 3: wore a Tears of Asia or whatever it was in Jupiter, Florida,

35
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 3: where Robert Kraft got arrested for whoa. Yeah, like the

36
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: shirt she's taking shots. It was bad. I'm like, well,

37
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: that can't Is that real? Like, is that really real?

38
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 3: She wore that shirt? Wow, I forget what it's called,

39
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 3: but it's.

40
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: Like I thought she was taking a shot at the

41
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. She's taking a shot.

42
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: Craft one or the other.

43
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: Jeez.

44
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: I know, I didn't know. I didn't do a lot

45
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: of research on all of that, but she knows how

46
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: to stay in the headlines.

47
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 3: Well now it's over, though, so now we can move

48
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 3: to baseball because football is officially that ball game is over.

49
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: We have spring training photos videos I'm seeing on social

50
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: media already.

51
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: Like, oh, there's Judge, there's Bragman, some guys popping up

52
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: at camp.

53
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: The last thing I'll put to bed here is baseball

54
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: does not beat the NFL in overall numbers in many categories,

55
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: but they do have some advantages. NFL does not make

56
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 2: their Hall of Fame voting public ever, so you never

57
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 2: know what.

58
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: Tony Dungee got asked about it, and he would not

59
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: you would say who he voted for. And then Rodney

60
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: Harrison called him out on it too, right to his face, which.

61
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: I like the Hall of Fame for baseball released anyone

62
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: that wanted it to be.

63
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: Probably it's eighty two percent of people, which is great.

64
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 3: They vote out, So if you have that power, you

65
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: should have to answer to people questioning your out And like,

66
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: there's certain people that vote for one person and they

67
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: get ten right.

68
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: And our All Star Game is awesome, and the NFL

69
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: is on life support with their Pro Bowl, flag football

70
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 2: e Tuesday Night whatever thing. Ratings were by far the

71
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: lowest ever. Also on the parody front, Jason Stark writing

72
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 2: how Champs over the last ten seasons six in the NFL,

73
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: seven and MLB teams in the finals the last ten seasons,

74
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: thirteen in baseball, nine in the NFL. I love seeing

75
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 2: people reply to tweets like this and just like cherry picking.

76
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you can cherry pick anything, but Kratz.

77
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: They'll be like, well, that doesn't include this, this and this,

78
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: and oh, it's not going to look like that over

79
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: the next ten years.

80
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 3: Okay, well who knows what anything's going to look like

81
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 3: over the next ten years. Like it's clearly there's no

82
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 3: parody in the NFL, So sorry the cat. The cat

83
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 3: ain't bringing it. What is also not cap is I

84
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: won my only FT bet and that was heads or tails.

85
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 3: Suck it, Todd father nice.

86
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: It was a it was a great night. It was

87
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: a lucrative night. But there's a lot of money flying

88
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: around right now. Moves wise, we seem to be hitting

89
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: our like little deadline stretch of players in.

90
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: Because people are showing up the camp and players are

91
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 3: getting nervous. I mean it happens every year.

92
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: We'll take it. Let's do it.

93
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, agreed, I mean that's kind of how it goes.

94
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: Let's start it, let's chuck it about.

95
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: Marcel A Zuna one year, twelve million dollars DH, Pirates.

96
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: What do you think?

97
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: Good? Good for him?

98
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: I mean, what about for the Pirates? Though?

99
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: Good for them. It's a good move for the Pirates.

100
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: It gives them a study DH. A guy who will

101
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: hit you twenty to thirty homers probably doesn't have to

102
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 3: worry about playing defense and can just go out there

103
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: and give us his bats. And it helps our offense.

104
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: I mean, their offense has vastly improved from where they

105
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: were at the end of last season. So O'Hearn, Brandon

106
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: lw Now you bring in Azuna. I mean, I like

107
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: the moves that they have made. They're trying to shore

108
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: up this team with the pitching that they have for

109
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 3: the next few years.

110
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: I liked.

111
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: And there are a lot of are short term deals.

112
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: They're just for a year or two and then we

113
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: move on.

114
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: Yep.

115
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: And I know the year was down and there were

116
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: some injuries whatever, But I mean look at the prior

117
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: to years for Azuna. An he's thirty five, Like you

118
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: might not get back to that play. Discipline is still

119
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: off the charts. To Kratz, walk percentages among the best

120
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: in baseball.

121
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 3: Azuna from the Pirates. Yeah, I mean it's definitely. You know,

122
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: they were felt like he was more valuable than Andrew

123
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: McCutchen what he was going to bring him. And I

124
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 3: would say, as much as I would want Andrew McCutchen

125
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 3: to be a Pirate, I think right now, Marcelo Zuna

126
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: they see it as an upgrade. The issue is last

127
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: year they did run into a little bit of an

128
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: issue with Reynolds getting hurt and saying, Okay, you gotta

129
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: go play the outfield because Reynolds could still he could

130
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 3: still DH, but he wasn't able to be out there running.

131
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 3: It was it was really about his throwing. It was

132
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 3: something of his lap. But it is really hamstringing you

133
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 3: when Marcelo's in there. Marcelo is DH. But like AJ said,

134
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: it's a one year thing. This team is so much

135
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: better than it was at the end of last year.

136
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: Is it enough offense to push them over the line

137
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: of being a playoff contending team? You need big you

138
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: need big years. There's gonna be You're gonna need big years.

139
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: Is the is the drop in the fact that you

140
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: won't get a three quarters of a year of key

141
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: Brian Hayes defense, You know there's gonna be a drop

142
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 3: in Brandon Lowe's defense. Is that gonna affect their pitching

143
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: or is this team built to score enough runs because

144
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 3: this pitching is that good? In my opinion, I think

145
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 3: it is. I think they're definitely still a little short

146
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: of the Cubs. I mean, I think the Cubs are

147
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 3: the class of the central right now for sure.

148
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: Aja.

149
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: You know what I love about Hello Fresh the variety.

150
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 2: Every single week, I can choose from over one hundred recipes.

151
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: That's a lot of recipes.

152
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: Agreed, you can go and you can narrow it down,

153
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: Scott to whatever you want. Family friendly because you know,

154
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,760

00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: can go family friendly, pescatarian, vegetarian, whatever you want to do.

169
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 2: Can we go back to that graphic too, so we

170
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: can just run through the updated lineup with the Pirates.

171
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: There it is, let me read it real quick.

172
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: So Spencer Horriwitz at first, and we're showing ops plus

173
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 2: from last year next to it. Brandon Looe acquired for second,

174
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: Brian Reynolds in right field, Ryan o'harnon left. I mean

175
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: that's not every day. I mean, left field in Pittsburgh

176
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: is no joke. So I think he's going to also

177
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: play quite a bit of first. Azon A's got d h.

178
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not letting him play the outfield at

179
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: all if it's up to me O Neil Cruz in center,

180
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: and then Nick Gonzales Jared Trilla at third. That's really

181
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: nothing against Trillo, but more of a utility player. That's

182
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: where they really blew it, you know, yeah.

183
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: Still in the mix.

184
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they still could get estock creators who I

185
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: think would be a huge.

186
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 3: Additional files that. But I think they still need one more.

187
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 3: I mean Henry Davis and Jommy Barter are gonna, you know,

188
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: because Henry Davis catch his schemes almost every start.

189
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: But they need a third basement.

190
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 3: They need a third base. Yes, yes, it's Time'neil Cruz

191
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 3: is time. It's been enough. You can't use shortstop as

192
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 3: Oh he's playing shortstop. Oh now he's switched positions. So

193
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 3: I mean he's had the great Kevin Kiermeyer on there

194
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 3: working with him for a couple of days. So outfield

195
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: has figured out. So now it's time to swing. There's

196
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 3: no way. There's no way Connor Griffin doesn't make the

197
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 3: team out of camp. There's no way. Third base. He's

198
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: played third base. Can you play third base? He's playing shortstop. Sorry,

199
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 3: he's gonna play shortstop. I think I think Jared Triolo

200
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: is a really good player. I get it. East Parades

201
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: is an upgrade. How big of an upgrade? I do

202
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 3: like Jared Triolo and there's gonna be he's a productive player.

203
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a spotlight on him for it. But

204
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 3: Connor Griffin has to make the team. Let's say he

205
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: struggles in April, you can send him down then. But

206
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 3: if he makes the team and plays like you think

207
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 3: he's gonna play on a team that wants to win,

208
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 3: it's got a chance to give you a pick at

209
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: the end of the year. Like the Pirates are willing

210
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: to willing to roll the dice on that one. They're

211
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: they're pushing their chips in. Did they have a lot

212
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: of chips, I don't know, but they're pushing them in

213
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: and I have a hard time believing he is not

214
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 3: in that opening day lineup.

215
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: Go make that one big move.

216
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: Paratus is the guy because the Ashers are trying to

217
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: trade him. We'll talk about the red tax trade later,

218
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: but that's off the table now. I mean, Gino Suarez

219
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: would have been a great fit for this team, but

220
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: they blew it on that one. So you got Ozuna.

221
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 2: That's the one more piece to me that puts them

222
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: as a wildcard contender.

223
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: They needed they need another, need one.

224
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: More because they're also always thin, right that things.

225
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 3: Someone gets hurt, then you're really they're screwed.

226
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: You can't rely on everybody being healthy the who whole year? Yea,

227
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: but who do you want much better?

228
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: I'm not smashing them crats, right, this is this is

229
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: a lot better. This is yeah, I mean the first

230
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 2: three years.

231
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: I laugh at them. I am not laughing anymore.

232
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 3: Who do you want first? Quickly? Who do you want first?

233
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 3: Gino Suarez or.

234
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: Marcelo Zuna Ginosuire is no question for me? What about you, guys?

235
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: I would take Geno two.

236
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: That was the fit.

237
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: Now Marcelo Zuna plus e sac paratus, I'll take that

238
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: for sure.

239
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 3: They gotta get it, they gotta pay. What's Esac making.

240
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: I'll find he just twelve or something like that.

241
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 3: Ten or something.

242
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just did some type of settle, So I'll

243
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: get that for you, and then we'll bring.

244
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 3: In the eight.

245
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: But he's at nine and change about nine and a half.

246
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 3: Okay, again, I'm gonna say this, and I know budgets

247
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: and this and that, but that's not a franchise killing

248
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 3: move for one year because it's a one year thing.

249
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: And if that gets vaulted into the playoffs.

250
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: Or vaulting okay, not even into the playoffs, like the

251
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 3: playoffs are tough in the National League, because just the

252
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: National League is really hard anyways, But if at least

253
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 3: it gets your fans excited. There's people coming to the

254
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: ballpark excited. There's in Hey, we're in it until September.

255
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 3: Maybe we don't make it. We win eighty five games

256
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: or eighty three games, and we missed the playoffs by

257
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 3: a few games. At least people are like, hey, the

258
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: pirates are trying, and it buys you some trust.

259
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 2: It's a good call owner Bob Nutting, who controls the purse.

260
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: Of course, go get one more piece, Go get esac paratus.

261
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: You will make that money back. I promise you.

262
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: You will make that money back in fans filling up seats. Yes,

263
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: I think you will. They've had attendance issues. You could

264
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: have a team that is in it for the entire year,

265
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: like AJ said, even if they don't make the playoffs,

266
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: in the mix for the whole year.

267
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: It hasn't happened in a while.

268
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 3: I can't wait to stay with Michael again. This in

269
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 3: about a week. You guys gotta shake it up. That'll

270
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 3: be nice. I can't wait for him to sleep in

271
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 3: the same room as me. You guys aren't doing that anymore,

272
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 3: I know, thank god, because otherwise someone might not make

273
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 3: it back from Arizona.

274
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: I think everybody on empty might not make it back.

275
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: But we'll talk more about spring training schedule at some point,

276
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: maybe tomorrow. Let's keep rolling on this trade right now.

277
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: With the Red Sox picking up Caleb Durban, I mean,

278
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: when you see that headline this morning, that's a shocker.

279
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 3: Well just shocker because the Brewers, you know, I mean,

280
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 3: I guess Hamilton is going to replace what Caleb Durban

281
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: can do. But then you know the way the Jet

282
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: Williams it's like, But then I guess they want Harrison

283
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: really bad. I mean, Monastereo got some big hits for him,

284
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 3: and they have one other big prospects bigger prospects.

285
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Fisher, there was either first round pick last year

286
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: and he's going to play in the WBC.

287
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: You know they're waiting for those guys.

288
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: But it's like, you're trying to have the best record

289
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: in baseball and make the playoffs again, and.

290
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: I think they are. And now have.

291
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: They any money in free agency? I know, I know,

292
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 3: I know woodrift in his qualifying offer, but have they

293
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: have they signed anybody in free agency? I don't think so.

294
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 3: I was trying to look it up. I was trying

295
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 3: to look it up before the show, and I don't

296
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: think they have unless they made I thought they made

297
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 3: a signing early early, and it was like, I know

298
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 3: it wasn't Colin Ray, but it was like that type

299
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: of like that type of like starter signing where it

300
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: was like, Okay, I see where they're at, but it's

301
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 3: not like replacing Freddy Peralta. I don't know. Scotty's better

302
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: at that stuff.

303
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: I don't believe. So.

304
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, woodrift and arbitration avoidance with Jake Bauers,

305
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: but not that they.

306
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 3: Traded away a lot Freddy Parolta, a lot of Durbin Monasterio.

307
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: These are guys that were like on their team, on

308
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: their team. They're counting on Miserowski to be able to

309
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: start for him, right, They're counting on Brandon woodrif hasn't

310
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: been healthy gut I mean sadly in a long time

311
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: for full season. I mean they're counting on guys Quinn

312
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 3: Priester and some of these guys to have really great

313
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: years that haven't done it multiple times in a row

314
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 3: in a row. I mean last year they brought in Kintana,

315
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: who helped them a huge amount. Right, they brought in

316
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 3: Reez Hoskins, who say what you want. They brought in

317
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 3: Rander Vaughan who went off to help them. They did

318
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 3: britt make some moves last year to help them. They

319
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: they made the trade for Durbin, so they last year

320
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: they were doing things and this year it's like, okay, yes,

321
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: I understand Jet Williams and some of the other things

322
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 3: they've done, but they're not. At some point, you got

323
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: to play in the big boy pool. We always say this,

324
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 3: and right now the Brewers are not. And they've had success,

325
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: so I can't knock them, but they haven't had that

326
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 3: much success because this is the first year they won

327
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 3: a playoff series in a long time.

328
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: Too.

329
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: Are they okay with just making the playoffs? Like that's

330
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: my that's my thing. Are they okay with doing that?

331
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 3: Because if that's the case, then you know what, man,

332
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: they got this cool formula to make the playoffs. As

333
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 3: a Brewer fan, like, yes, I am a fan of

334
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 3: the Brewer or the organization, the people in the front office,

335
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: the way everything's run, like it's cool. Stories, But how

336
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 3: can you get rid of two guys who finished third

337
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 3: and fourth in the National League and Rookie of the

338
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 3: Year voting like, did they win it? No, they didn't

339
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 3: win it. You know, Isaac Collins and Caleb Durbin are

340
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: off this team. They were guys that personified what the

341
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 3: Brewers are. Are they getting rid of them because it's

342
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 3: max value? Okay, how many times can you keep hitting

343
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: on that? How many times can you can? You have

344
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 3: a team? Then they have their superstar. They have Jackson Churio.

345
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 3: Can he stay healthy? Like he's still learning how to

346
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 3: stay healthy and be a player in the game. Does

347
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 3: Bryce Terrang take his August September and become an MVP

348
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 3: candidate because he's got an elite glove. I don't know

349
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: if he's got like that level. He's an All Star.

350
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 3: So you have your pieces on the team. But the

351
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 3: last few years, everyone's like, oh, they've done this. The

352
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 3: last few years. They had Josh Hater, they had Devin Williams,

353
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 3: they had Freddy Peralta, they had Corbyn Burns, they had

354
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 3: all those guys throughout that time. It's a lot to

355
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 3: put on the Miz. It's a lot to put on

356
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 3: Big Wu to carry this team if you keep decimating it.

357
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 3: Unless they really do find this value in Kyle Harrison

358
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 3: and in Drohan in you know, in Hamilton, being that

359
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 3: guy that steps in as the next piece. It's just

360
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: it's tough to see as a brewer, as a fan

361
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 3: of the brewers.

362
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: Hey, sometimes we do a little game on foul.

363
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: Territory called role play.

364
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 2: It's not what you think. We're just picking up our

365
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 2: phones and we're talking as if we're somebody in baseball.

366
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: But if you'd like that phone to be a little

367
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: bit cheaper for making phone calls, who should you call?

Speaker 1: I'm with you.

383
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: I mean, this team at the best record in baseball,

384
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: they got dusted by the Dodgers, and you look at

385
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: their off season and you're like, do they believe this

386
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: is their winning window? Are they trying to play the

387
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: percentages game of how many cracks can we get at

388
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: the postseason and eventually it'll work.

389
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: They've been doing that for like a decade.

390
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's again, I'm going to say this and listen,

391
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 3: the National League is really hard. Yeah right now, the

392
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 3: way the National League is set up, it's really hard.

393
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: But they were the best record in baseball.

394
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,360
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, But then I'll ask this. I know they

395
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: didn't they like sweep the Dodgers in the regular season.

396
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 3: The Dodgers just bounded them in the playoffs. Sure, right,

397
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 3: They also lost the first four games the Torpedo bats

398
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: and the Yankees lost the first four games like one

399
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 3: hundred and six.

400
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: Right.

401
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 3: Murph made a joke about it in his speech, but

402
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 3: being great in the regular season, and krat says this,

403
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 3: there's regularly you know, he thinks there's regular season teams

404
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 3: and there's playoff teams. Being great in the regular season

405
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 3: if you don't win the World Series. And how many

406
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 3: World Series have the Brewers ever won in their in

407
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 3: their history of the Fair Chicks, how many times have

408
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: they been to the World Series Once? Once nineteen eighty two,

409
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 3: Harvey's Wallbangers lost to the Cardinals, So they haven't gotten

410
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 3: to eighty two. Okay, that's we're forty four years from then.

411
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: They don't believe in the all in thing.

412
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: They do believe in all in, but they can only

413
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 3: do what they're giving. I think Matt Arnold does a

414
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 3: terrific job with what he's given to work with. He's like,

415
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: h I just blanked on the guy in Seattle Poto.

416
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah right. The Poto's given a budget and he tries

417
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 3: to make all these moves to try to make them better,

418
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 3: but he has to keep a certain budget. Right. It's

419
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: kind of what the Rays did for so long. They're like, oh,

420
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: we got to keep it around this payroll and they

421
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: would flip guys here and there. The Brewers are trying

422
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 3: to do that, and they've had success doing it, much

423
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: like the Rays. The Race haven't won a World Series either, right,

424
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 3: But eventually that bubble burst and then you almost got

425
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 3: to start over with a new crew. Sorry, brew Crew,

426
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 3: I didn't mean that was non intentional. That played well,

427
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 3: but you have to start over with like a new crew, right.

428
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: Isn't that what the Rays are going through right now?

429
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 3: The Rays are kind of going through it right now

430
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: because also the American the yeast has gotten better, because

431
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 3: Toronto now is really good. The Yankees are usually pretty good.

432
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 3: The Red Sox went through a little lull. Now they're

433
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: bring coming it back, right. The Orioles finally got it

434
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: figured out a little bit, so now the Rays are like, man, shit,

435
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 3: we got to do something different. So now they're trying

436
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: something different, right. The thing with the Brewers are they've

437
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 3: also caught. The Cardinals have been in a down right.

438
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 3: The Pirates haven't been good for ten years. The Cubs

439
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 3: have been they won in twenty sixteen, but since then

440
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 3: they've kind of been meh. Right, So the division also

441
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 3: was kind of lined up for him, where Hey Burns,

442
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 3: pralta Woodrow, all these guys, I mean, Yellows is a

443
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: year older. Yellows, you can't make it through a full

444
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: year anymore. And it sucks because he's really good when

445
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 3: he's out there, right, Controras is about at the end

446
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,679
Speaker 3: of his Brewer tenure. So then you're like, Okay, well,

447
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 3: who are you counting on? And they keep making these trades,

448
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 3: but at some point you're gonna have to hit on.

449
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 3: You're gonna have to you have to hit on every

450
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 3: single one of these.

451
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: They're becoming the race they can turn.

452
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,479
Speaker 2: They're really good to stars and there's massive amounts of

453
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: churn and it's causing them to be competitive every year.

454
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 2: Like you said, how much of that has to do

455
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 2: with all of this success in the organization and some

456
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: of it to do with a very down division over.

457
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 3: The last But they're really good at it. They've done

458
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 3: they've been successful, so you can't knock them, right, Yah,

459
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 3: Donald has been really good at it.

460
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: It's just frustrating to not I don't think this is

461
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: a front off.

462
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 2: But the ballpark probably packed. Yeah, Like you didn't make

463
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: any extra money last year?

464
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 3: The ballpark was packed. Right. They beat the Cubs in

465
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: five games in the DS, right, I mean they obviously

466
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: they lost with Todgers, but I mean they I don't

467
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 3: know what else you want if you're a Brewer, if

468
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 3: you're a Brewers fan, Like they come back, they come

469
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 3: to every game I do for Fox. There is packed,

470
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: I mean not an empty seat in the place. And

471
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 3: they're they're crazy, they go crazy, and they love their guys.

472
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 3: They love their team.

473
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: I know.

474
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: It's like the Bucks, Like they have the Bucks too,

475
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 3: right in Milwaukee, right, so they have the Bucks really

476
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: in the Brewers. Okay, Green Bay is not in Milwaukee, people,

477
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 3: it's not. It's like two hours away, right, whatever, But

478
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 3: they love those teams. I mean you walk around Milwaukee,

479
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 3: you see Brewers stuff everywhere, and you see Bucks stuff everywhere.

480
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 3: They support the heck out of that team.

481
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: Can I throw this out there because I think this

482
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: is the comp I feel as if the Diamondbacks approach

483
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 2: is a little more boom or bust, and then all

484
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 2: of a sudden they end up, say twenty twenty.

485
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: Three in the World Series.

486
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 2: Right, they make some moves that it's like this is

487
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 2: going to really work or this is going to be

488
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: a disaster. I feel like the Brewers are super safe,

489
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: so their ceiling I think is lower and their floor

490
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: is higher. I'd rather be a Diamondbacks fan in terms

491
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 2: of the way that the team looks at themselves. Right,

492
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: there's some guys that you know, are going to be

493
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: there for a while. It causes some continuity, you take

494
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 2: some big risks, and some years you go through mini

495
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,959
Speaker 2: rebuild at the very least. And I think fans are

496
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: okay with that if they felt like they had that

497
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: all in push. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe you're just like

498
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: I want my team to be good every year and

499
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: be borderline or playoffs every year?

500
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 3: Would you rather have a team that makes the playoffs

501
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,199
Speaker 3: and never wins a World Series?

502
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: No question?

503
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 3: We're about to talk to the Ohios. What city is

504
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 3: he in?

505
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: He is in Pittsburgh, Okay, no question. I want the

506
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 2: team that's going for it. And then, okay, Mike Mike

507
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 2: Tomlin just resigned. Ohios covered him.

508
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin nineteenth straight years, never had a losing record,

509
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 3: he won one super Bowl, okay, but the last I

510
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 3: don't know how many every years since he won that

511
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 3: super Bowl, they've been nine and eight, ten and six,

512
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 3: but they lose in the first round every year. Would

513
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 3: you do you want that team? The Atlanta Braves all

514
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 3: those years they and all those division champions, they won

515
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 3: one World Series? The Brewers the last how many every

516
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: years have made the playoffs? Right? They were great guys

517
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 3: were in the playoffs, let's go team and then they lose.

518
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 3: It's like, or would you rather have the Diamondbacks won

519
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: a World Series? I was twenty five years ago. Yeah,

520
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 3: but they got to ask You got to ask a

521
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 3: Brewers fan, not just a fan of baseball. Ok, you

522
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 3: got to ask a Brewers fan, because they're exactly like

523
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 3: I know we're gonna get to Noah, but they're exactly

524
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: like what AJ said. Brewis fans are there. They support

525
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 3: they support the Bucks, they support the Brewers, they support

526
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 3: the loser players like me, just like they support the

527
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 3: superstars like Yellye and Cheerio. Like they really delve into

528
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 3: their team. So that question, I think has to be

529
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 3: asked by that fan base. Do the Guardians won a

530
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 3: World Series or just every other year in the playoffs

531
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 3: type of type of run? Do the Brewers won a

532
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 3: World Series? Or seven straight playoff runs where your heart

533
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 3: gets b or seven of eight?

534
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 2: The Diamondbacks is a very recent example. It's twenty twenty three.

535
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: They were in the National League. National League was pretty loaded,

536
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: and they figured out a way to get through.

537
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 3: So they had nunbelievab They first of all, they got

538
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 3: hottest all hell fire and brimstone for that for those

539
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 3: two weeks. Sure, the Phillies, the Phillies, they're down three

540
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 3: to one. It never should have happened. And they just said,

541
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 3: you know what, Phillies, We're just gonna throw you slider

542
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 3: on every pitch. And their Phillies like, we've never seen

543
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 3: one of those before. We forgot how balls, fastballs for

544
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: balls in and sliders. I mean that was three straight games,

545
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,880
Speaker 3: that's all they did. Fastballs in ball, Oh, they're gonna

546
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 3: throw me another one. Slider, slider, slider, oh, fastball. It

547
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 3: was like and they couldn't beat them, and then they

548
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,679
Speaker 3: ran into the Rangers, who obviously took them down in

549
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: the twenty three. But are you happier with that? Every one?

550
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 3: Once every ten years you make a deep run to

551
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 3: the World Series.

552
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: It's not like you don't make the playoffs at all.

553
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 2: Around that, I'm just saying, you have more variants. Have

554
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 2: a few years where you're contender, you have a few

555
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 2: years where you're not.

556
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: So you'd rather just be Mike tom.

557
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:01,239
Speaker 1: No, no me.

558
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 2: I want the Diamondbacks. That's my whole point. I want

559
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: the ride. Give me the ride. Winter Time speed Round,

560
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 2: lots of signings happening with veterans finding homes. Let's start

561
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 2: with Paul Goldschmith from the Weekend one year, four million

562
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 2: dollars back to the Yankees, two million dollars in additional

563
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: plate appearance bonuses. His production fell off in the second

564
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 2: half of the year. He raked overall against left handed pitching.

565
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 2: This past season. Ben Rice should continue to have more

566
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: of a role. He apparently turned down more money opportunities

567
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 2: elsewhere aj so that he could fit in nicely again

568
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: with the Yankees.

569
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on the Yanks running it back.

570
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 3: It's the same team. I mean, essentially they lost Weaver

571
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 3: and Devin Williams. They made a couple of small tweaks,

572
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: but it's literally the same exact team. And they can

573
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 3: say it's not, but I think it's twenty three to

574
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 3: the twenty six guys are back from that roster that

575
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 3: finished the season last year with the Yankees.

576
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: That's rare.

577
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 3: Now you're adding now you're gonna add Garrett Cole at

578
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 3: some point, which you will help, right And you added

579
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 3: Ryan Weathers who will help you. But other than that,

580
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 3: it literally is the same exact team. I mean, they

581
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 3: didn't win ninety four games last year and they tied

582
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 3: the Blue Jays and didn't win the division because they

583
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 3: had to head but they did make the playoffs and

584
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: did okay, So I don't know, it's just interesting to

585
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 3: you see a team bring back twenty three of the

586
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 3: twenty six guys.

587
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: When they got bounced in the DS.

588
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 3: They eat the Red Sox, though, did they get bounced

589
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 3: because they weren't good enough or did they get bounced

590
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 3: because in that series they weren't good enough. That's always

591
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 3: gonna be the Red the Yankees, m I mean, even

592
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 3: if you bring in different guys, they're still looking for

593
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 3: the same archetype. So they might have a different name

594
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 3: on their jersey. Well, they don't have any names on

595
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 3: their jerseys because of the Yankees, but they might have

596
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 3: a different name, but it's gonna be the same archetype.

597
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 3: I still like this lineup. I don't I don't hate

598
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 3: this lineup. I love that Paul Goldschmid's coming back. It

599
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 3: came from the Cardinals, which have just a major deficiency

600
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 3: in their analytic department when he was there, and he

601
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 3: came to the Yankees, which is one of the most proficient,

602
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 3: one of the most like giving you the information and

603
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 3: Paul Goldschmidt is a very analytical like really dives into

604
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 3: every little thing, so it shows he liked it. I

605
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 3: don't hate this signing. Is Paul gold Schmid a Hall

606
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 3: of Famer? Probably not for this session, but check the numbers.

607
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 2: Out another time, another time. We don't have time. But

608
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 2: for me, yeah, this should be a very strong, solid team.

609
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: The blue Jays playoff team was better than the Yankees'

610
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 2: playoff mix.

611
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: I think that part's obvious, right.

612
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: They won the same amount of games, so they were

613
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 2: evenly matched in the regular season, but the Blue Jays

614
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: looked like the better team. It was not like one

615
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: of those like you actually the comp I mean, the

616
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 2: Blue Jays and Dodgers were matched up as close as

617
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: you can be with different strengths. And that's why that

618
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: series was crazy. The DS series, and I know it's

619
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: a short series, wasn't crazy. The Blue Jays looked like

620
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 2: a better built playoff team. Yes, I don't think that's

621
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 2: a I think that's the only take. I don't think

622
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: anybody's looking at the Yankees like yep that they you know,

623
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: they did that series over and over again.

624
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: The Yankees win it more than the Blue Jays do.

625
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think it was like

626
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: a small sample size thing, you know. But I run

627
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 2: that series ten times. I think the Blue Jays win

628
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: seven or eight of them.

629
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: I think I think the Yankees, like I said, though,

630
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 3: they're like, if they were gonna go out and make

631
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 3: a move, they would have made a move to replace

632
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: the guy that was, and it's gonna be a similar

633
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 3: type of move. They're not just gonna all of a

634
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 3: sudden shift. Well, the blue Jays beat us. They beat

635
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 3: us in the regular season, Yeah, we finished with the

636
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 3: same record, but they beat us in the playoffs. We

637
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 3: got to shift over to what the Blue Jays did. No,

638
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 3: they're just gonna keep doing what they do because they

639
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 3: had the best offense in baseball, not you know, opinion wise,

640
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 3: just statistically.

641
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I'm not knocking them, and I'm especially not.

642
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 3: Not just saying it's the same thing.

643
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: It's just an interesting storyline that they're running with these

644
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 2: exact team. And if it was up to be I

645
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: wouldn't do that, right, if you had the choice, you'd

646
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: like I would prefer switching something up.

647
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: I just don't know if they had the lane for that, right.

648
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 3: We can switch it out, you'd upgrade a shortstop. I mean,

649
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 3: everybody's real quick to jump on the Anthony Volpi trade.

650
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: Everybody you know, Oh no, get him out of there,

651
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 3: Get him out of there. I mean he's not evenna

652
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 3: start the season. So you kind of have like a

653
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 3: two piece shortstop. Yes, you guys can't play left field. Well,

654
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 3: it took care of that. They brought bell in your back.

655
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: I don't know that they thought Trent Grisham would accept

656
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 3: the qualifying offer, or if they knew he would accept it.

657
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna see some aggression from him. He

658
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 3: had a career year. But anybody hitting around Aaron Judge

659
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 3: behind in front of you're just gonna get different pitches

660
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 3: than you are when you're in a different lineup. So, like,

661
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 3: I don't see where they would make the changes. I know,

662
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: you can't just change to make a change. You got

663
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 3: to make a change somewhere. So who you to bounce out?

664
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you you gave the layup to start

665
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 2: the shortstop upgrade. But there there's nothing really out there

666
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: in their minds. What wasn't really anyone out.

667
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 3: There base Maybe they could have upgraded, but they like

668
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 3: McMahon's defense right catcher. Maybe they could have upgraded, but

669
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: who's out there nobody? Yeah, I mean base Yeah, But

670
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 3: I mean it all depends on what you're looking for.

671
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you are, but you are.

672
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 3: Counting on Aaron Judge to just continue to be the

673
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 3: best hitter we've seen in a long time, correct, Like

674
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 3: you are just counting This lineup is just again, if

675
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: Aaron Judge goes down for any amount of time, it's

676
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 3: huge for this team.

677
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: They're built around Judge, which is fine.

678
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: I get it, because Aaron Judge is one of the

679
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 3: top two hitters in baseball right now. So I I

680
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:41,479
Speaker 3: one hundred percent get it.

681
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

682
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 3: So, but if he goes down, if he misses any

683
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 3: sort of time, and then you know, you can count

684
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 3: on Stanton missing times. Sucks as much as it sucks

685
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 3: to say that. You know, Vulpi is what Vulty is

686
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 3: at this point. I mean we're three three plus years

687
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 3: into this now, so he's what he is.

688
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 2: Most of the rosters just homer mashers. That's what you want,

689
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 2: homer mashers. But is there enough? I don't want to

690
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 2: get into like the classic like oh they need more contact. No,

691
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 2: I mean the ideal is contact plus slug and that's

692
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: what the Blue Jays had in the post Sauero.

693
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 3: Is he going to start this year church stuff for him?

694
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean to me, that's what goes. Super utility

695
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: guy is his role.

696
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 2: But he's going to be the guy at least to

697
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: start the season while Wolpee works his way back.

698
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 3: The Yankees are going to be fascinating to me just

699
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 3: because they need Rodan to come back for you don't

700
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 3: have a good other good year? Probably what does what

701
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 3: does he'll give him? Because he yeah he was mass Schlitzler.

702
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 3: What does he do for him? For with a full

703
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 3: year Will Warren? I mean, they have options Bednar closing

704
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 3: for him for a full season.

705
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: They've got arms.

706
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be fascinating just to see.

707
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get to a few more here. Hey, their

708
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 2: division got a little better. Nick Martinez has been a

709
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: really solid pitcher in the bigs for a while now.

710
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 3: And you got thirteen the ultimate Rays signing right here.

711
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: Yep, thirteen million bucks.

712
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 2: And guess what if the Rays aren't good at the

713
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: trade deadline, they're only paying sixty percent of this contract.

714
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 2: He gone, he's the if he's healthy, he is one

715
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 2: of the easiest guys to deal away.

716
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: He can do it all.

717
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 3: So this is the perfect rate. He can start, he

718
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: can relieve, he can close if they need him to.

719
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: They want him to start. I think that was the

720
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 2: agreement here to start the season. But that doesn't mean

721
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 2: he doesn't get flipped.

722
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm saying, but he's done everything, so he

723
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 3: can do it all.

724
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: Great, good he is. It makes sense. That's an easy one.

725
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 3: That's great. I love it. Thirteen million for him. Go

726
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 3: go back and look at what other teams have paid,

727
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 3: like fifteen and eighteen million per year, and you go.

728
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 3: Nick Martinez is kind of nice, but other teams see

729
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,479
Speaker 3: him as that Swiss army knife. And I think he

730
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 3: really wants to start. I think he wants to make

731
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 3: thirty two starts.

732
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: And if the race end up being bad at the deadline,

733
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 2: he'll move around and he'll go to a team that

734
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: can even if they put him in the rotation to

735
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 2: eat innings, then in the playoffs they could move him

736
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: to the swingman role. Like he's he's valuable. Remember he

737
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 2: what he took the qualifying offer last year. He made

738
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 2: about twenty one million bucks in twenty twenty five. Next up,

739
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 2: Eric Vetti and the White Sox married again.

740
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 1: One year contract, reunited and it feels so good. Sure

741
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: League figured him out a little bit lately.

742
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, but last time they traded him for Miguel Vargas.

743
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: Right, he was the centerpiece, you know.

744
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 3: They traded him in copec to all over the place

745
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 3: for Miguel Argus, who's turned into be you know, a

746
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 3: player for the White Sox. He's in the lineup every day.

747
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 3: So and the two A ball kids, I guess said,

748
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 3: I don't know what happened to them, but I'm sure

749
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 3: Justin in the chat will tell us how much we

750
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 3: don't know the White Sox prospects. So fire away justin

751
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 3: love you, Justin, Yeah, we love you, but fire away

752
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 3: that we don't know every White Sox player in the organization.

753
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 3: I apologize because there's twenty one other teams.

754
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 1: But Baseball America Hotchiet tomorrow.

755
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 3: They I do. Listen, this is a good depth signing

756
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 3: for the White Sox, But I still want you still

757
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 3: want Martin, and you still want Smith, and you still

758
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 3: want some of the younger guys to Anthony Kaid to

759
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 3: get their innings and then use fetti where you can

760
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 3: for me, that's it.

761
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: I will say Kratz Fetti is one of those guys

762
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 2: where the league didn't love him, And yes they got

763
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: Vargas in that deal, but remember he was rolling that

764
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: year with the Era.

765
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: But there's other peripheral numbers that didn't love.

766
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 2: Him and stuff metrics and then you saw that play

767
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 2: out last year with a five and a half RA

768
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 2: He's probably somewhat in between that right back end starter.

769
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 3: Good for the White Sox. Hopefully he's a guy that

770
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 3: he feels comfortable in Chicago because he was there. They

771
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 3: gave him that shot after he came after he came

772
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 3: back overseas from overseas. But to me, this is a

773
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 3: great signing because of the fact that he can add

774
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 3: that veteran leadership to the guys that aj just mentioned,

775
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 3: like if you want them to take the next step,

776
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 3: you gotta You don't want them to struggle, You want

777
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 3: them to hear about struggles, so they stay away from

778
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 3: him from other guys, and I think Fetty's Fetty's a

779
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 3: great guy in the sense that he was a top prospect.

780
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 3: You know, everything looked golden peachy. Then he then he

781
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 3: had to go. Then he had to go overseas to play.

782
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 3: Now he came back and he had a good, good run.

783
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 3: But it's like, hey, just because you see certain success,

784
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 3: it's okay to be like, No, I'm not I'm not complacent.

785
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 3: I'm not getting complacent. And I think that's what veterans

786
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 3: in that locker room can do.

787
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 1: And one more, Chris Paddock to the Marlins rotation depth.

788
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 3: But I thought the Marlins had all the rotational pieces

789
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 3: in the world because they.

790
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: Traded away Weathers and Edward Cabrera.

791
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 3: Remember somebody on somebody in the chatter on Twitter crushed us,

792
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 3: crushed us. They have the best pitching depthitely And why

793
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 3: did they Chris about it?

794
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: That is so true. You need to.

795
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 3: Crush for saying like, hey, Weather's in Cabrero expendable. Yes, yeah,

796
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 3: we have so much pitching Marlins. Come on, guys, Sandy'll

797
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 3: be gone too before too much longer.

798
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: Agreed. If he pitches, well he gone.

799
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 3: Yeah. But he signed with the Marlins because it's a

800
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 3: big league deal. He probably wasn't getting a big league

801
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 3: deal elsewhere. I don't know about that.

802
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 2: I think Paddock, no, he was getting a big league deal.

803
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 2: I think the big league deal might have been two

804
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 2: or three million, and the Marlins are giving.

805
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: Him four plus pitcher k incentives.

806
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 3: Chris Paddick has not pitched well in a while. Look

807
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 3: at the numbers.

808
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 2: The Marlins always get about four million bucks to sign

809
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: a guy like this. Cal Quantrell was what last year

810
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 2: of the year before they get that one allowance in February.

811
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's like you're begging your parents.

812
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 3: For a loan and they're hoping he pitches well and

813
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 3: they trade.

814
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: Him correct so they'll pay half this.

815
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, and for Paddock, I mean, you're right, he hasn't

816
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: put it all together in a while. But low walks

817
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: guy still is like so is some stuff. He's always

818
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 2: had good stuff, right.

819
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: Gives up a lot of homers, gives up a lot

820
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 1: of homers.

821
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 3: Doesn't strike anybody out.

822
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Corilla strikeout rate last year. Remember, traded to Detroit

823
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 2: at the deadline. But what I recall, didn't pitch well there.

824
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 3: No, he was even on the playoff roster. He wasn't

825
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 3: even on them, he was.

826
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: I don't remember him being there. I mean he was. Yeah.

827
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 2: He made seven starts and five relief appearances for Detroit.

828
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 2: With Minnesota, he made twenty one starts, had a just

829
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 2: shy of five y plus was below league average, so

830
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 2: back end inning Zeter hopefully pitch as well.

831
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: This is a guy where Marlin's.

832
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 2: I think they have the special sauce like the race

833
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: because they stole some people from the race front office

834
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 2: and they see if they can catch some fire with

835
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 2: a fun loving guy in a clubhouse.

836
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:52,839
Speaker 1: Hey.

837
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, he was a lot of people in our sport.

838
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 2: There's so many people connected to the game, and you know,

839
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 2: we can't take to everyone all the time, but we

840
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 2: do want to make sure we get a minute here

841
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 2: for Tyron score. You know, gone way too freaking soon.

842
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, stunning, devastating news over the weekend. It

843
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 2: sounded like there was a surgery complication that wasn't supposed

844
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 2: to be a complicated surgery, So just shocking, awful. You know,

845
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,279

Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I was there when he got called up

851
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 3: in September and fourteen. I was there when he did

852
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 3: all those rookie Shenanigans to twenty twenty four. We you know,

853
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 3: we were, we were. We hung out a ton for

854

Speaker 3: the Royals reunion twenty fifteen, we did the caravan together

855
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 3: like we played in nineteen together in Triple A as

856
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 3: he was, you know, trying to come back or just

857
00:39:55,080 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 3: always coming back through super unique career, incredible, huge human being.

858
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 3: To see him come up as a rookie at twenty

859
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 3: three years old and just be so green but be

860
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 3: able to do something in the game of baseball that

861
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 3: was at an elite level was something I still have

862
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: never seen. I still have never seen. But the fact

863
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 3: that like he's gone at thirty four years old, the

864
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:23,400
Speaker 3: fact that he you know, just was an incredible person

865
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 3: an incredible like he just had this infectious personality. I

866
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 3: watched a lot of since I heard the news. I

867
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 3: watched a lot of different interviews from from him throughout

868
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 3: the years with the different teams that he's been on,

869
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 3: and he's just he truly and not just because he

870
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 3: was he was a little guy and we called him

871
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 3: g baby, but he's truly so thankful and just like

872
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 3: a kid playing the game and he was just like,

873
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 3: you ain't gonna throw me out there ain't no way.

874
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 3: I think he was caught one time in the postseason,

875
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 3: and that was on a replay. He stole third, he

876
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 3: was safe, and the whole like, oh, his cleat just

877
00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 3: came off the base. I mean, just an incredible person.

00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 3: And I couldn't be sadder for Brittany and his three kids,

879
