1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: Expect disaster and everything else that happens is just phonus. 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,120 Speaker 1: I just knew that this was gonna head for disaster. 3 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 2: Time. 4 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 3: Now for power rankings, AJ, you are up. Who do 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 3: you have in your top ten? Why are you laughing? 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 4: Eric? 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 5: Because AJ hates power rankings and he's gonna be He's 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 5: gonna be like that second basement that Jason Worth was 9 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 5: just talking about soft as Sharman had a lot of 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 5: power rankings. 11 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 6: Nope, all right, so number one of my power rankings 12 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 6: is the Rockies, and then the White Sox. 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: And then the Marlins. Okay, oh wait, sorry. 14 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 6: Okay, no, I actually kind of took the seriously. I 15 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 6: did take him seriously. Okay, I'm gonna go because Alano's 16 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 6: on the show today. I want to not to cry. 17 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 6: I took the Dodgers number one, just because a lot 18 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 6: of them cry if I didn't take the Dodgers, They're 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 6: not even my number one. A lot of this is 20 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 6: his time. Stop miting on it this moment. Yes, number 21 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 6: two are the Mets. Then I'm going Padres, Giants, Cubs, Phillies. 22 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 6: Before we get to an American League team, which is 23 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 6: the Yankees. Then we have the Diamondbacks, the Tigers, and 24 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 6: the Red Sox. There's after one month. That's where I stand. 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: I don't care. Say what you want, it doesn't matter. 26 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 2: It's too early. 27 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 6: As Jason Worreh said April, baseball doesn't really matter. 28 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 3: Yes, the power rankings, by the way, powered by n'll 29 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 3: be nine innings twenty five. All right, Eric, your power rankings, sir. 30 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 5: I'm also a big Alana fan, so I put the Dodgers. 31 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 5: I don't think they've been playing the best this month. 32 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 5: That also goes into why I have the Phillies at 33 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 5: number two, because I'm a homer and I also think 34 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 5: the team is built to win for the long term, 35 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 5: and I. 36 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 4: Put number three. 37 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 5: I'm going completely against that theory with the Padres because 38 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 5: the Padres have just have something going from last season 39 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 5: till now. 40 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 4: They lost. 41 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 5: They don't have you Harvest, they don't have musk Roves, 42 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 5: and they're still pitching. The bullpen is elite, and they're 43 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 5: gonna run into a lot of tough NL West opponents, 44 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 5: tough series, but with the Rays at home, but that 45 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 5: place launches them up to third. For me, I went 46 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 5: to an American League team in the Yankees, and I 47 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 5: couldn't not put the number two offense in baseball up 48 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 5: at number four. The Mets. They're moving up my power rankings. 49 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 5: Mets fans, it's okay. I'm not hating on them. I 50 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 5: just am afraid that it's just not quite enough for 51 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 5: the long haul of the season to be the best 52 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 5: team in the National League. But they are right now, 53 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 5: so they earned that number five spot. The Tigers are 54 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 5: doing some things. I know I lost the bet with 55 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 5: them last night, but that's okay. And the Mariners, is 56 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 5: this the year that the Kevin Seitzer led offense is 57 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 5: gonna make the change enough to put this rotation in 58 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 5: to the playoffs, even though some of the rotation is 59 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 5: a little bit decimated, They're gonna be fresh coming into 60 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 5: the playoffs. And the Cubs have played the toughest RPI 61 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 5: strength of schedule in all of baseball, no teams under 62 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 5: five hundred that they have played, and they are leading 63 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 5: the NL Central. They don't know if they win the 64 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 5: NL Central. That's not a lock for me yet. But 65 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 5: the Red Sox all their trades, the you know, I 66 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 5: mean the trade of Crochet, the youth movement that Hein 67 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 5: Bloom made a thing in this organization is now happening. 68 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 5: And the Alex Bragman stuff is I mean just dingers 69 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 5: to left and he hasn't even really gotten that. 70 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 4: Hot in Fenway yet. And the Giants. 71 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 5: I think the Giants might have the most staying power 72 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 5: because they're pitching in defense has really stepped up. 73 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 3: Why did you put the Phillies so far down on 74 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 3: your list? Weren't they won last week? Now they're two. 75 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 4: They've never been one. It's always been Dodgers. 76 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 5: And I think power, I think power rankings are really 77 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 5: what's gonna happen total Who's the toughest looking team? And 78 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 5: I think this team is played together. I think there's 79 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 5: something about having a lineup that's played together and consistently 80 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 5: day in and day out. Besides like Marsh and Rojas 81 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 5: and Kepler getting moved in there, they just know each other, 82 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 5: they know how they need to feed off each other, 83 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 5: and I think they'll be able to make adjustments. 84 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 4: And the starting rotation is pretty sick. 85 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 3: I actually should have asked AJ. It was AJ that 86 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 3: had the Phillies pretty far down on his list this 87 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 3: week versus last time. AJ, why do you have a 88 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 3: Phillies so far down? 89 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: I'm worried about their bullpen. 90 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 6: And I look, also, this is where we're at in 91 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 6: the season right now, and I think the Phillies aren't 92 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 6: playing great. And I don't know how in the world. 93 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 6: Eric Ka Kratz says the Mets fit. They have the 94 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 6: best record in baseball by far. It's not even clothes. 95 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 6: They're playing unbelievable right now. I don't know how you 96 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 6: put the Mets down in fifth just because you're a 97 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 6: homer for the Phillies and the Yankees and the seventeen 98 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 6: other teams you played for, But I mean the Mets. 99 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 2: You got to be crazy. 100 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't know we were doing right. 101 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 5: I didn't know we were doing standings here out you 102 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 5: know what you're doing. 103 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 4: So we're doing hot, We're doing Who's Hot?

That's our exclusive link harrys dot 124 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 5: com slash foul for a six dollars trial set. 125 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 3: Here's my top as far as power rankings are concerned, 126 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 3: powered by MLB nine innings twenty five. I have the 127 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 3: Mets as number one, and yes, partly because of record 128 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 3: nineteen and nine, but we're not doing it based on record. 129 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 3: Their rotation a league best two point twenty nine era 130 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 3: everybody and the return of Jeff McNeil and Francisco Alvarez 131 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 3: has bolstered their lineup a bit. The Dodgers, yes, I 132 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 3: get it. I'm a homer, but it is what it is, 133 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: despite the injuries to key players, key pitchers. Rather Blake Snell, 134 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 3: Tyler Glasnow Decoy is my one of my favorite animals 135 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 3: on the planet, although I wish he was a rescue pup. 136 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: That's for another show. They're eighteen and ten. Their depth 137 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,679 Speaker 3: continues to keep them afloat. They're still competitive. The Cubs 138 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 3: another National League team, of course, potent offense, solid rotation. 139 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 3: The Cubs have impressed early in the season. Their Bullpenny 140 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: ra I'm with aj is problematic five point one point seven, 141 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: but they're still number three for me. The Giants, Jeff Berry, Buster, Posey, 142 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: the whole thing. They've had a strong week. They took 143 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: series from the brew Crew, they took series from Texas. 144 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: They leave the major leagues and walk off wins, which 145 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: is neither here nor there. They could probably use a 146 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 3: few laughers in there instead of having to do it 147 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 3: in walk off fashion. The Padres. I think the Padres 148 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 3: are my number fIF team. They started season incredibly hot, 149 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 3: as we know, but they've had some injuries. Jake Cronilworth 150 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 3: obviously has hurt Luisa Rise with that concussion that was scary, 151 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 3: but their depth it's going to be tested in the 152 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 3: coming weeks. But Padres are in my top five. The Tigers, 153 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 3: that's my first American League team. They are at number six. 154 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 3: A little bit of a surprise contender, if you will, 155 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: leading the majors in everal offensive categories. That would be 156 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 3: the Yankees at number seven. The Rangers, despite struggles at 157 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 3: their DH spot, gentlemen, they've managed to stay competitive. Their 158 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 3: speculation about signing JD. Martinez. Will they do that? Will 159 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 3: it help? I don't know. The Phillies at number nine, 160 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: love them. I would run through a wall for them, 161 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 3: and then the Arizona Diamondbacks. Now the Phillies. My biggest concern, 162 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 3: obviously is a bullpen. We've discussed that. Romano not the answer, 163 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 3: as you might understand with his thirteen and a half 164 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 3: e ra and then the Dbacks. 165 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: There you have it. 166 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 3: That's my top ten. I don't know if this is right. 167 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 3: I don't know if it looks good. I don't even 168 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 3: know if this made any sense. Those are mine. 169 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: The sense part I can't make. 170 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 4: I can't help you with. 171 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: I can't help you with the Sun's part.

No, 173 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: I thought you crushed it. 174 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 6: I just don't know how you don't, you know, the 175 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 6: Mariners over the Rangers, even though the Mariners ahead of 176 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 6: them and playing better. 177 00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: And I don't know, but I don't know. 178 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: Mariners weren't even. 179 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: On my list. 180 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: Oh now, I know. 181 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying. That's so I don't know why 182 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 6: you have the Rangers over the Marriors. That's kind of 183 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 6: my point. 184 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 1: I don't know. 185 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 3: I just like Bruce Bochie. 186 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 4: I guess, my gosh, you're such a sucker.

Pierzinski, Eric, 201 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 3: we're at with you here. You, of course can be 202 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 3: read at the Athletic. You just released an article this 203 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 3: morning when you said the Blue Jays rotation has no 204 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 3: room for bad days. Mitch, explain yourself. 205 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not really about the rotation. It's been kind 206 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: of the strong part of the team. It's been the 207 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: bright spot. The top four, especially the big Dogs, have 208 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: been logging innings for this team, giving them quality starts. 209 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: But the offense is giving them basically no room for air. 210 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: And we've finally seen the rotation kind of slip the 211 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: last few days and that's resulted in three more losses. 212 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: So the offense isn't putting up more than four, which 213 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 1: they haven't done in weeks. It's hard to win a 214 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: lot of baseball games. 215 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 5: How much of this, though, is part of the offense 216 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 5: is you have eight guys playing defense. For those pitchers. 217 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 5: They built this team for that defense, and I get it. 218 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 5: The pitching, you know, has been really good, but it hasn't. 219 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 5: It can't be that good without because they're not striking 220 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 5: out the world without that defense. So as a defense 221 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 5: kind of helped prop that up. Especially now that var 222 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 5: Show's back, that could be a huge, huge exclamation point 223 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 5: for this defense with Golden Center. 224 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, I think the defense definitely helps the 225 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: pitchers get their ears down. We've seen that kind of 226 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: be the story of this team for the last three years. 227 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: But also the story has been they've been a really 228 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: good pitching team, a really good defensive team, and they 229 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: still haven't really made a lot of noise because the 230 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: offense has let them down. They got to find the balance. 231 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: It's hard to do that in the middle of the season. 232 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: I think the Blue Jays thought bringing in Anthony santon 233 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: Dair was going to help. That's he's a big back 234 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: guy who's not really built for defense. He hasn't really 235 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 1: gotten going. So they got to find the balance to 236 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: win games, and I think right now they're a little 237 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: too pitching and defense centric. 238 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 5: We talk about Parks all the time and Rogers Center 239 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 5: when I played there, when AJ played there was kind 240 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 5: of a joke, but they also had Jose Bautista and 241 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 5: Carnacion Brett Lowry Adam lymb like there was some bangers 242 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 5: that were Troy tulwhisky that were going through that team. 243 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 5: Now that they made those renovations, do you hear rumblings 244 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 5: around that the players are like, Ooh, I don't know 245 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 5: what the renovations did, but the ball doesn't travel as 246 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 5: far and when you play in the same place eighty 247 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 5: one times, is that getting under the Blue Jays player's 248 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 5: skin because it's been more than just like a few 249 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 5: months or a year. 250 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, you definitely hear that. I think when they made 251 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: the renovations, the front office and all the people involved 252 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: in that were pretty confident it was going to play 253 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: as a lot closer to a neutral park. And it's 254 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: hard to tell exactly how much it's been the product 255 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays have put on the field, but it 256 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: hasn't quite played as a neutral park. Other teams are 257 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: hitting home runs, the blue Jays aren't. It's kind of 258 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 1: a question. It hasn't necessarily been a long enough time 259 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: since the renovations in my mind to really know if 260 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: it's the Blue Jays struggling offense kind of dragging down 261 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: the park factor numbers, or if it is just an 262 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: overall weird thing with the batter side could be like 263 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: the dome, Like a lot of factors go into park factors, 264 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: and I just don't know what the cause of this 265 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: is yet, but it's definitely not playing how they initially 266 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: thought it would. 267 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 3: Let's talk about the defense there a little bit, Mitch. 268 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 3: I have seen circus catches before, but there's always some 269 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 3: time and when you go to a baseball field and 270 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 3: you see something you've never seen before. I mean Dalton Varshow, 271 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 3: my word, that had to have been one of the 272 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: most unbelievable catches I have ever seen. Where does it 273 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 3: rank for you? 274 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really high up there. The only other one 275 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: that comes to mind was a couple of years ago, 276 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: Kevin Kiermeyer running too that same kind of cutout on 277 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: the renovated wall on opening day, scaled it brought a 278 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: ball back into the park. That's the only one I 279 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: think that really kind of is up there for me. 280 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: But Varshow, first game back, he falls down, he said, 281 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: in his words, he thought of profanity, and then he 282 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: located the ball and it's like, I don't know how 283 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: he made that catch. It was truly incredible, and it 284 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: speaks to how incredible it was. Because when a team 285 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: hits five home runs like the Red Sox did in 286 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: a couple winnings last night, and we're talking about a 287 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: crazy catch, it's got to be a pretty big play. 288 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 6: Let me ask you what you just mentioned home runs. 289 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 6: Vlad hit his third home run last night. Boba Shit 290 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 6: has the same amount of home runs this year that 291 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 6: I have zero? What the heck is going on with 292 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 6: Boba Shit? How much is this hurting him to get 293 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 6: a contract extension like Vlad and then he's also a 294 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 6: free agent. 295 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 2: Is there pressure on Bow to get going? 296 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. And I think that the thing with 297 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: vladim Bo is all of their numbers compared to last 298 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: year kind of look the same, except the power is 299 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: way down. Like they're they're putting up pretty similar batting averages, 300 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: they're walking up pretty similar clips. Obviously, Bo is coming 301 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: off the weird year last year where he was very injured. 302 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: He looks mostly back except for the power, it's just 303 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: not there. He had a hand injury and a calf injury. 304 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: Those aren't necessarily injuries. I think this far out would 305 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: impact the power, and so it's it's really kind of unexplainable. Why, 306 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: especially those two are not hitting for power. If you 307 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: want the positive spin, a lot of these guys in 308 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays offense are objectively struggling, and the numbers 309 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: under the hood kind of are struggling too, Bo and Vlad. 310 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: Their expected power stats are a lot closer to where 311 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: they actually usually sit in their career, So I think 312 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays can have some faith that those guys 313 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: will rebound. I think the question is if it's going 314 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: to be in time before they slide into a hole 315 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: and get close to the deadline for those to get 316 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: back to where they should be. 317 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 3: And it's certainly not just all Bo obviously. Anthony Santander, 318 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 3: who you alluded to a little bit earlier, Mitch, He's 319 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 3: had one hit in his last twenty six at bats. 320 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 3: He's sit in one seventy four to two sixty two 321 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 3: ninety four as far as the slash line, with three 322 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 3: home runs in twenty eight games this season. His fit 323 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 3: FIVEO fifty four ops is seventh worst among ale qualifiers. 324 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 3: Are you noticing something in particular in his offensive approach? 325 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 3: Have there been conversations or what needs to change here? 326 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, they're trying things for sure, because he's the guy 327 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: they brought in to bring the power. Not much else 328 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: changed with this lineup except for Santon there. He was 329 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: kind of supposed to be a solution a lot of 330 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: the problems they had last year. He is a historically 331 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: slow starter. I feel like everyone's talked about that for 332 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: the last month. The slow start has continued. They thought 333 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: he was going to heat up, and then he went 334 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: on that slide that you just mentioned. There, Teams are 335 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: pitching him inside a lot, and he's struggling to either 336 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: lay off of those or to get out in front 337 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: of those. That's definitely a problem. The one thing that 338 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: Jase are trying right now is taking him out of 339 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: the DH spot and putting him in the field. I 340 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: mentioned he's not necessarily a guy known for his defense, 341 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: but they're just trying things to get him engaged in 342 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: the game, to get him kind of feeling more like himself, 343 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: because if this offense is going to go anywhere, they 344 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: need him hitting a lot closer to forty home runs 345 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: than he is right now. 346 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 6: I'm just shocked at they're so low in the home 347 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 6: runs there. What's second to last and home runs for amazing, 348 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 6: that's great. It's craziness to me because I, like krat said, 349 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 6: I you go to Toronto and it's like there's a 350 00:16:58,720 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 6: launch a bad. 351 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 2: I don't know what they change. 352 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 6: I don't know what Rogers did when they change those 353 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 6: walls and then they changed the color of the walls. 354 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 6: I don't know, but they brought the fences in and 355 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 6: the ball stop traveling. So maybe go back to the 356 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 6: old way Toronto. The pitching staff, though, to me, the 357 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 6: starters have been okay. I mean Barrios Gosman. Gosman had 358 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 6: the awesome ejection and fell down the steps the other day, 359 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 6: which is not funny, but it's kind of funny because 360 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 6: he's okay. You know, Allen Francis has been has been 361 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 6: good for these guys. The bullpen hasn't been great. Is 362 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 6: there hope that the pitching staff one A, the starters 363 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 6: can keep it up and the bullpen can get to 364 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 6: where they can help them win some games? 365 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's gonna be hard to ask them 366 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: to do more than they're doing right now. Like the 367 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: weird part what about this pitching staff is yeah, the 368 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: big four starters have been good. Obviously, Max Schurtz are 369 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: as hurt. You're hoping to get them back in the 370 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: next month or two ideally, and then you got your 371 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: five guys the bullpen. They just gotta be in situations 372 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: to lock down games, and they just haven't been. The 373 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: bright spot for this pitching has been Jeff Hoffman, Jimmy 374 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 1: Garcia and Brendan Little have been electric out of the 375 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: back of the pen. But you can't really showcase that 376 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: if you don't have late game leads. So I think 377 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: if the offense comes around even a little bit, even 378 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: if they're scoring four or five runs a game, the 379 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,679 Speaker 1: pitching stuff with the big starters we mentioned and the 380 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: back of the bullpen can get it done. It's just 381 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: hard to do that when you have to throw the 382 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: mop up guys and guys you're not super confident with 383 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: out of the back at the front of the bullpen. 384 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 4: There, Krats. 385 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 7: Let's talk about the number one recommended dermatologist hair growth 386 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 7: supplement brand.

Max Sures are obviously not 409 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 3: coming back until probably late May. What's the long term 410 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 3: fixed for that? And what's the short term answer? 411 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, the short term answers figure it out. The long 412 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: term I think is max stures are getting healthy. But yeah, 413 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: in the short term, it's gonna be a patchwork. They're 414 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: gonna call up Eric Loward. It certainly sounds like today 415 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: for some bulk. Easton Lucas had two really good starts 416 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: and then two really bad starts. He can come back 417 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: in a week if he's figured some stuff out In 418 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: Triple A. Jake bloss top prospect for this team, a 419 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: guy that got back in the Yusa Kakuchi deal, had 420 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: a couple of slow starts in Triple A, looked great 421 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: in his most recent outing. There's some options there. None 422 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: of them are super obvious or super sexy, but they're 423 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: going to have to figure this out for the rest 424 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: of May, probably a little bit of June, and they 425 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: do not want to go to a four man rotation 426 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: like Barrios, Goswin Bassett. Those are guys this team has 427 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: leaned on so much the last couple of years. They're 428 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: all well over thirty. They're not the type of guys 429 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: you want to be skipping starts and making pitch on 430 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: short or normal rest consistently through a season, especially if 431 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: you want them ready for October. 432 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 2: Mitch, the Leafs are playing. Oh go ahead, Alana, Oh no. 433 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 3: I was just going to ask you, in Mitch's opinion, 434 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 3: how hot Schneider's seed is, if it is at all. 435 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's hot, but it's it's kind of 436 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: hard to tell what this organization is going to do 437 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: this year if things go so like there's a lot 438 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: of seats that are hot, there's a lot of contracts 439 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: that are expiring, and this is a team that they've 440 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: invested a lot of money in. They just give flat 441 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars. It's not a team that's gonna 442 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: sit around and just wait for things to go better. 443 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: Santander is a veteran who just got a lot of money. 444 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: This team expected to win this year. They haven't the 445 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: last two years. It's kind of like a three strikes 446 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: in your out situation. But I'm not sure we're quite 447 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: there in April. I think a lot of people still 448 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: have faith it'll turn. But if it doesn't, Like the 449 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: questions are asked. 450 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 6: You, Mitch, you could say it Atkins and Shapiro, they 451 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 6: have to be right, Yeah, for sure. It's their last year, right, 452 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 6: they have to. They have to feel some of the heat. 453 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 6: From the ownership the Rogers Corporation at some point. So 454 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 6: I would think it's fair to say. It's fair to say, 455 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 6: but speaking of hot seats and everything going on in Canada, 456 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 6: because your accent is killer. But the blue Jay, the 457 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 6: blue Jays are one thing in Toronto, but the Maple 458 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 6: Leafs are a whole different level. 459 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 2: Now they had a three nothing lead, it's three to two. 460 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 6: Are we getting nervous in Toronto that the Maple Leafs 461 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 6: could blow a three nothing lead against Ottawa? 462 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: The Maple Leafs blow the lead in the playoffs? 463 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 4: This is no. 464 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: Those things don't happen. I Uh, here's the thing. You 465 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: can't be nervous if you have my approach to the 466 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: Toronto Maple Leafs, which is expect disaster and everything else 467 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 1: that happens is just bonus. And so I came into 468 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: this series like they're playing the Ottawa Senators, a team 469 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: they're objectively better than a Crosstown rifle in Ontario. I 470 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: just knew that this was gonna head for a disaster. Hey, 471 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: if they pull it out, great, but they've put themselves 472 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: in a position for everything to go about as bad 473 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: as it could. 474 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 3: That's the spirit. 475 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 6: Mitch that is like the most you know, that sounds 476 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 6: like that sounds like the Boston Red Sox fans for 477 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 6: so many years, right before they finally won in two 478 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 6: thousand and four, it was like, oh, well, we could 479 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 6: be up three to nothing, a ten run lead in 480 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 6: the bottom of the ninth, and we're gonna blow it somehow, right, 481 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 6: So that is like you. 482 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: Proven you're right, then you gotta listen. 483 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, and the. 484 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 3: Cubs franchise for all of those years as well. It's 485 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 3: the tide's gonna turn, Mitch, the tide is going to turn. 486 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: Thanks so much. 487 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 3: He's like, no, it's not, it's just absolutely not. 488 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 2: Well, thank you for the. 489 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 3: Insight on the Blue Jays. We look forward to seeing 490 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 3: what this club does over the next couple of weeks. 491 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 3: We appreciate you taking the time. 492 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: Sounds good. Thanks for having me.
