1
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: For the people. The Player's Choice awards were just announced.

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: We're going to focus on the player of the year. Okay,

3
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: the outstanding player in the American League, in the National League.

4
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna start National League'll already tell you American League

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: because that's Kyle versus Judge. They went cal We can

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: talk about that later. To me, the more interesting one

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: here is Kyle Schwarber winning Player of the Year in

8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: the National League.

9
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 2: Fatigue chosen by the player, Showy, and you can make

10
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: a little bit of a show, hey, Fatigue.

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: For sure.

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: We need to read some of the statistical differences stat

13
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: at baseball comping Schwarber and Otani this year for the

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: crowd that's going to listen to this podcast. Wise, both

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: of them playing just about a full season's worth of games,

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: the war number for show He Otani is seven point

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: seven Kyle Schwarber at four point seven. Otani has the

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: edge in patting average, on base percentage, slugging percentage ops

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: ops plus stolen bases. He's one shy of Schwarber's fifty

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: six home runs and he is thirty rbi shot.

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: That's more of a lineup thing, right, and it's I

22
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: mean that doesn't. That doesn't even we didn't even talk

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: about pitching.

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: Oh, right, and he pitched.

25
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: Oh and he pitched.

26
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: But what about Schwarbur's defense.

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 3: He doesn't have defense. He doesn't have defense either.

28
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: We're just looking offensively that that's so many players.

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 3: I told you.

30
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: Fatigue show a fatigue, right, cratzy Like people are just like, oh,

31
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: I'm tired of hearing about Shoreber had a good year.

32
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: I'll vote for him. Plus I'll also say that I

33
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: don't know show at all. I know Swarber a little bit,

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: but Schwarber has such a good reputation among so many

35
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: players are being this great guy. People vote for people

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: they like, and I don't know that how many people

37
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: know show not the show.

38
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: He is not a great guy at all.

39
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: He could be the best guy every time they show

40
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: him on TV, smiling and laughing and having a good time.

41
00:01:59,400 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: But I don't think.

42
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: I don't know that many people outside of the Dodgers

43
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: know him that well or as you see schwarbron like

44
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: college game day, Waring doing all these things. He was

45
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,119
Speaker 2: on Fox One Big Noon the other day talking about Indiana.

46
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: So I think sometimes people see him and they're like, oh,

47
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: I like that guy. I'm gonna vote for him.

48
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: Keep it coming, keep it coming.

49
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 4: I got I got so much hate when I was

50
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 4: saying Otani is better than Ronald Acunya. Akunya was getting

51
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 4: so much he got he won this award over show Hey,

52
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: and I was like, what are we doing?

53
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: He's not a better.

54
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 4: Player, Like the best player in the game will always

55
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 4: be sho Hey Otani. If you're at d H with him,

56
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 4: he's better than you. Sorry, Kyle, Like Kyle Schwarber's season

57
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 4: was awesome, all the things that AJ said, He's an

58
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 4: awesome dude. Like they must have the Players Association must

59
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 4: have left show Hey off the list for players to

60
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 4: not vote for him over Schwarber, or the players are

61
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: just taking this and not and not taking it seriously enough,

62
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: which I think is a travesty, because, like I think

63
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: it's cool to know where you stand from your peers

64
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: probably means more to a player than what writers.

65
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: Think of you.

66
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: Yes, the MVP Award is an awesome, awesome award, but

67
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 4: it's what writers think of you. You know, maybe somebody's

68
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 4: you know, not a fan of you, so they didn't

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: choose you as the m v P, but your fellow players.

70
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 4: To me, I think they need to take a better

71
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 4: do a better job of taking some ownership for this

72
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: because it it would be it would be an honor

73
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 4: to get this award.

74
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Schroerver won't get one first place vote for MVP.

75
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: He won't get one. He won't he's gonna be there.

76
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: What is it gonna be unanious?

77
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 4: Again?

78
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: For it might it might be unanimous. But even if

79
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't, I can probably make a decent case for

80
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: like five to seven other player that should be in

81
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: the running. Kyle Schwarber had a great year with a

82
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: lot of pop. He's a DH, so he doesn't play

83
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: a position at all. That should be a huge, huge

84
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: negative against your case when you're a position player. If

85
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: you're a DH and you're going to win, you have

86
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 1: to be like show Hay in pitch, or you have

87
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: to put up dumb numbers. His numbers weren't dumb. They

88
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: were really good and he had a lot of homers.

89
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: They weren't dumb. If this is show Hey versus cal

90
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: this is where I disagree with Kratz. Show Hey versus

91
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: Cal or going back to show Hey versus Akunya, different

92
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: story to me, This one stands out so much Kratz

93
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: because this isn't even in the same stratosphere. That's what

94
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: he stands out to me. I think with a Kunya

95
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: setting records defense like that is more complete player. We're

96
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: talking about two dh is being matched up, where one

97
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: DH had a better season than the other. Show Hey,

98
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: and then he pitches, Huh, what am I miss?

99
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 4: I agree with you, this is this is a wider

100
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 4: app but I still think we should notice how much

101
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 4: of a gap it is between show Hay and everybody

102
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: else because we're comparing hitting stats with show Hay and

103
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 4: then he pitches.

104
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: We know the question We're going to ask many of

105
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: our current player friends in the off season where you wanted?

106
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 3: Were you one of those?

107
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: He voted for sure, and I'm genuinely curious what you

108
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: saw made you question this year?

109
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: The question should be how much do you actually take

110
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 4: ownership of this or how much do you like?

111
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 3: Hey? Who did who? Did you write down?

112
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 5: Hey?

113
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 4: Can you just fill this out for me? Hey, John

114
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 4: Clubhouse assistant Clubhouse Scott, can you fill this in and

115
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: send it off for me?

116
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 3: Exactly? That's what happens.

117
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: They might have thought it's just an offensive thing and

118
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: then they comp numbers and they go, Homer's RBIs done.

119
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 4: What maybe didn't did the players from the nineteen eighties

120
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 4: vote like show because every says player of the year,

121
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 4: that's why. And then they were like Pitcher of the

122
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 4: year the only thing I can think of, player of

123
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 4: the year.

124
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: And then pitcher of the year. That's why. Maybe they

125
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: didn't combine them.

126
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: But his stuff is supposed to combine, so maybe they

127
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: were just like, again, it's fatigua, it's show, Hey, fatigue Okay,

128
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: just wanted to get a check on that.

129
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: I mean, the rest of these are pretty yeah.

130
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, everything else is fine, and you want over Judge.

131
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 3: I mean, Raley over Judge is interesting.

132
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: But nobody's like what I mean, we're gonna have the

133
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: same debate.

134
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 2: Marvin Miller Man of the Year is awesome. De gram

135
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 2: comeback player of the Year cool?

136
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: Great? Yeah, Acuna comeback player of the Year in the NL.

137
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: Okay, I know that this is not gospel, but just

138
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: to give perspective, I'm on Fangrafts fan Grafts war. It's

139
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: a little higher for shorter than Baseball Reference, which is

140
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: what we just showed, but Fangrafts has them at four

141
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: point nine, that ranks twenty fifth in baseball, twenty fifth

142
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: second on his own league players, right, Christopher Sanchez, no

143
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: turn Trey Turner's and Sanchez zero point seven. But there

144
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: are a number of other players in the National League

145
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: that ranked higher for all their Perdomo, Corp and Carol. Yeah,

146
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: Sanchez had the highest WAR in the National League, didn't

147
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: he Perdomo.

148
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he could be top three MVP.

149
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: Seven point one, Yeah, Lindora Tatis, Soto, Logan Webb, Lizardo, Sanchez, Schemes,

150
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we got a lot on here. We've got

151
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: a lot rolling on here. All right, I'm a moto. Wait, actually,

152
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if Schemes is on here? Is it?

153
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 5: Yeah?

154
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: He is?

155
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah he is.

156
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 4: Schemes is a little bit below Christopher Sanchez. Christopher Sanchez

157
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: somehow has a higher WAR. I don't know, that's right.

158
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 4: And look at war when.

159
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: It's pitchers no, no for pitching.

160
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

161
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: Also it's six point five versus six point four. The

162
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: purpose of this exercise was to say there are so

163
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: many players above him, and again we're not knocking Kyle,

164
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: but there's just a big difference there. So anyway, don't

165
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: forget Otani still exists. This episode of FT is brought

187
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: the running as a finalist for the Padres manager role.

188
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: There's others involved. We don't know the other names, but

189
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: they did the.

190
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: He's not going to the Orioles and he's not going

191
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: to the Angels.

192
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: There's still a lot of other teams, but those are

193
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: the two that he's going to manage. The Rockies, I.

194
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 3: Can manage the Dodgers.

195
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: No, he's not managing I'm talking about the openings. There's

196
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: still like five or six other opening But this seems

197
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: to be.

198
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: If someone really wants them to be a manager, like

199
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 2: they're really trying to get Albert Poole's a managerial job. Yeah,

200
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: somebody him him, I know I know him, But like

201
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: there's a lot of other people that that throw their

202
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: names in these rings. Like we'll use Mark de Rosa.

203
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 2: He's been trying, begging for years to get a managerial

204
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 2: job and he hasn't gotten one. I don't even know

205
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: if he's gotten to the second stage of any of

206
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: the interviews. But here Pools is again. So it's like

207
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: somebody I always felt like if you, especially if you

208
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 2: weren't a coach on a staff that wins, like if

209
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 2: you weren't like Craig Alberny's right, who was on the Guardians.

210
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: He's been around a little bit and he's coached and

211
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 2: everywhere he's kind of gone, they've done well, and then

212
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 2: someone's like.

213
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 3: Oh, we really should look into this guy.

214
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: Right, Will Venable kind of the same way, right coach

215
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 2: under Bochie and coach have been around a little bit

216
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: and did this and that and the boom. Brandon Hyde

217
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: was under Madden right for all those years, and Phil

218
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: Nevin was under Madden and Boone and then gets a job, right.

219
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: But for Albert Pooles, the next player, I always felt

220
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: like he either won a had to know somebody really well,

221
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: one of the front office people or beat. There's got

222
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: to be somebody behind you, whether it's an agent, MLB, whoever,

223
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: pushing you to get a job like we need Albert

224
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: Pools in the dugout ya Yati Molino has been doing this.

225
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 2: He's been kind of he's been kind of politicking a

226
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: little bit, not as much, but he's kind of been

227
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: doing it a little bit.

228
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: I think the difference with those two, without getting into

229
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 1: how you think they'll manage, is the media situation. Poohles

230
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: now is putting himself out there. There are still question

231
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: marks with Yadi about how he'll be as a team ambassador,

232
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: having to talk to media, whether he likes it or

233
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: not every single day. Is he going to be okay

234
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: with that? Is he going to like that? Mean, it's

235
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: an important part of the job these days, you're one.

236
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 3: Of the largest parts.

237
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Pooholes is putting himself out there a lot

238
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 1: since he retired. Yeah, yes, Yadi hasn't And that's okay,

239
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: that's his choice. But I think that makes it easier

240
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: for spots because what do you do to try and

241
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: get the job, the manager jobkrats, What do you have

242
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: to do? What's the main thing that you have to do.

243
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 1: It's what's happening right now. It's a up question.

244
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, just get your name out there, have people talk

245
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 4: about you, give your interviews.

246
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're interviewing, and so owners are like, oh yeah,

247
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: pools like he's been around, he's he's talking. The guys

248
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: are talking about him.

249
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.

250
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: But I feel like, again though, you feel like you

251
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: have to Yeah, but you again, oh, you have to

252
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: have people talking about you. They have to have people

253
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: pushing for it. But again, DeRos has done that. Why

254
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: hasn't he gotten a chance? I mean again, I'm not

255
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: I'm not knocking Mark the Rousse. I'm just amusing him

256
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: because he's on TV every day and he's managed Team

257
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: USA and there's people.

258
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: That have Yeah, I know him. I mean I don't know.

259
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 2: Again, I don't want people to think I'm I'm knocking

260
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: Mark the Rousse. I'm just using him because he's the

261
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: first one.

262
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just know from the past he had younger

263
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: kids at home and now they've gotten older obviously, but

264
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: I know you had, you know, two kids at home

265
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: and it's paid well and has a good setup. I

266
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: don't think you wanted to leave that setup. So I

267
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,599
Speaker 1: don't know how serious he was taking it. So I

268
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: don't now, I don't know what the current situation is,

269
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: but in the past, I know that was part of it.

270
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: But Pooholes is ready to run, Yeah, and he wants

271
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: to go. He's like, send me back into the bigs man.

272
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: He's got the edge. Yeah, it doesn't mean he's gonna

273
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: get the Padres job. And also Padres job is interesting.

274
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on there. It's a good competitive team.

275
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: That's great. There are a lot of strong persons.

276
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 2: Will see how they are next because they've got to

277
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 2: cut payroll again, is what they're saying.

278
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 3: And they have ceased as a free agent, right Suarez King?

279
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 3: Possibly isn't King King? Possibly a free agent. They don't

280
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: really have a catcher.

281
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: They have work to do.

282
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 3: They have some serious work to do. And again their

283
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 3: donors good, now, sorry, I forgot about me.

284
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: They do have a catcher.

285
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 2: I think a rise of free agent. He has one

286
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: more year rise free agent, rise free agent. So they

287
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 2: got some They're gonna have some things to plug in.

288
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: And if I think it wasn't about a few weeks ago,

289
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: wasn't there an article I thought I read whether there's

290
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: been some infighting amongst San Diego people and they want

291
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: to cut.

292
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 3: The payroll a little bit more. I don't know. I

293
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 3: could be wrong on that.

294
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they had in fighting last year just over

295
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: the ownership of the team. And also they've shuffled through

296
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: a lot of managers. And you know, you can blame

297
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: the manager every time, but eventually you're like, why are

298
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: there so many manager shufflings going on here?

299
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 3: Too?

300
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: It's interesting.

301
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: It was a good job though.

302
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

303
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: Now my thing with Poolosts is I'm going to go

304
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 4: back to what Phil Nevin said when Aaron Boone. I

305
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 4: was there when Joe Girardi left and Aaron Boone came in.

306
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 4: Phil Nevin had been in the game, he was managing

307
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 4: in Triple A. He really wanted to be a manager,

308
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 4: and he goes. I really felt like when I came

309
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 4: over to be here with Boone, he would have a

310
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: tough transition into being a manager, coming from coming from TV,

311
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 4: and I would have a with him, and Boonie could

312
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 4: not have done better like he was. He was so

313
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 4: locked in, he knew, he knew what was happening for

314
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 4: not being on the field. So I'll be interested to

315
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 4: see when puhost gets a job, because clearly he's gonna

316
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 4: get a job. And as hard as he's pushing for it,

317
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 4: how how locked in to Like, who's that bench coach?

318
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 4: You know? To me, you need an absolute g as

319
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 4: a bench coach. If you haven't been in the game

320
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 4: like I've been coaching high school baseball. If I would

321
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 4: go back and manage a big league team right now,

322
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 4: you to me, you have to get back up to speed.

323
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 4: I don't think it just happens like that. So I'll

324
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 4: be interested to see who they'd make his bench coach.

325
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: In credit to Kevin Acy good reporting, he's been all

326
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: over the.

327
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: I'm stilling to hear who the coaches for the Giants

328
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: are going to be with, Like Tello.

329
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: I haven't heard any of those names either.

330
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: Well, his press conference is on the off.

331
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: Day, Thursday, so I want to hear that's what That's

332
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: what's going to be interesting to me because he's never

333
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 2: even been in pro ball. I mean, Albert can probably

334
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: call up anybody in baseball and say, hey, you want

335
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: to come coach with me. I don't know Buster does too,

336
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: but like, it's not about Buster, it's about the manager.

337
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: And you got to work with the manager every day.

338
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: That's the thing, right Crash. The coaches have to be

339
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: able to work together. They have to get along, because

340
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: I've been on teams where coaches.

341
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 3: Don't get along. That's a miserable year. When you got

342
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 3: the hitting.

343
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: Coach and the pitching coach fighting, and the GM and

344
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: the manager and the division. It's just like, oh my gosh,

345
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: how would they expect us to win when these guys

346
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 2: are all fighting each other. Back to the Yankees again

347
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 2: in eighteen, they brought in Matt Blake, pitching coach. Was

348
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: in college and I remember looking at like, dude, this

349
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: guy has never he's never been in pro ball. Was

350
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: he was working with the with the Indians before that,

351
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: And I'm like.

352
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 4: Man, how is he going to? Like there's so many

353
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 4: things you don't know. You've never been on a big

354
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 4: league flight. You don't know about, you know, clubhouses and

355
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 4: tipping and all this stuff, and the schedule day to day.

356
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 4: You're just thrown right into the big league stuff that

357
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 4: you kind of learn when you're in the minor leagues.

358
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 4: So Tony Vattello, I assume he's going to get somebody

359
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 4: that is big lea, you know, has big league experience,

360
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 4: because there's a lot going on. You can't be like, hey,

361
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 4: why is our spring training not that efficient? You're like, bro,

362
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 4: you ain't never been to a big league spring training?

363
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 4: How do you know how it's supposed to go? Like

364
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 4: you want us to run sprints, you want us to,

365
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 4: you know, make sure we make it to class like

366
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 4: that's where he's been. So I think having a big

367
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 4: league bench coach and when I say a g I'm

368
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 4: talking about somebody that has run spring training, somebody that

369
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 4: has been through it for years and knows how that works,

370
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 4: because that is a huge, huge undertaking.

371
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: He will, he will. He's not bringing dudes up the street.

372
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: That's and Matt Blake's worked out pretty.

373
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 3: Well, so good.

374
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was awesome, but he's a great person, and

375
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 4: so I think that's where That's where Tony Vittello, from

376
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 4: what I've heard his communication is ability to listen but

377
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 4: then also give instruction has to be, has to be

378
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 4: through the.

379
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: Roof, Padres, Giants, Batello versus Pooholes. That's fun storylines for

380
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: next year. That's what it looks like.

381
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 3: Versus the Rockies.

382
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: Hey, somebody is going to take over the Rockies GM

383
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: and manager soon too. We'll get to all that in

384
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: the off season. We had a few days left world

385
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: series wise,
