1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: Listen. I'll be honest. I think the A's are going

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: to compete for a playoff your spot this year. That's

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: why I have them as a sleeper pick. The ahhs

4
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: are my sleeper pick to compete for a playoff spot

5
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: this year.

6
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 2: Big Day, Big night, and also big day, right God,

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 2: And you can tell the people. Some people only hear this,

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 2: so you got to tell them what you're representing today.

9
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: Oh oh, I'm representing USA hockey. By the way, captain

Speaker 1: in the Four Nations Cup. Crats, Yeah, America, America.

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 3: And that's a sweater, Scott, It's not a jersey, it's

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: a sweater because they have that's like the one good

18
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 3: thing that hockey has over every sport. They call their

19
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 3: jersey sweaters. You know who's watching. I have to give

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 3: him a shout out. Big fan of the show, Jordan.

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 3: I met him last night at my son's college college.

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: He was a security guard at the college reception. He

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: went to big FT fan. But I'm not going to

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 3: say his last name because he called our show by

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: the wrong name. So he knows, he knows who he is. Wow,

26
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: So he's as such a big fan. He called the

27
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 3: show by the wrong name. He got nervous because he

28
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 3: wanted me to tell you he absolutely loves every one

29
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: of AJ's takes.

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: AJ's the man nice.

31
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 2: And we also agreed for the first time ever AJ,

32
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: that we're all rooting for the same team tonight. We

33
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 2: all feel the same. That's cool.

34
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, for what Scott, You're not rooting against him. That's enough.

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: That's enough. By the way, you want to hear you,

36
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: guys want to hear an awesome sweater story about you.

37
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: Guys know who Stan Mkita was. Stan Mkita is was.

38
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: He's passed away in the past. He was an all

39
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: time Chicago Blackhawks fan, our player, right, and his numbers

40
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: are tired up in the rafters in the United Center.

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: And I was in. It was twenty ten when the

42
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: Blackhawks won the Cup for the first time in like forever,

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: and I'm standing there, I'm talking to him and I've

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: known him, I've met him, played some golf of him

45
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: in the past. And he says, he's in a suit

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: and tie, right, And we all have our Blackhawks sweaters

47
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: they gave us with our names on the back, the

48
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: whole deal. And I said, Stan, I go, why are

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: you in a suit and tie? Why aren't you wearing

50
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: your sweater? It just points like this and I go, yeah,

51
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: he goes, you see what's up there in the rafters, kid?

52
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: He said, yeah, he goes, it's hard to wear it

53
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: when it's hanging in the rafters. Okay, you win, You win, brother,

54
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: you win. Nice. Oh that's epic. Hard to wear Scott,

55
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: when it's hanging in the rafters.

56
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: That is true. One more thing before we dive in.

57
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 2: It's also a big day because there's baseball being played.

58
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: It doesn't count, but we have things to watch besides

59
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: Junior Cam and Naro ripping it in the Winter League.

60
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: So that's cool. Dodgers Cubs. Some people that are catching this.

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: By the time they catch this, the game will already

62
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: have happened, or the game is happening. So there you go.

63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: Why are the Dodgers and Cubs playing before everyone else?

64
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: That's so unfair. The Dodgers get everything because they're playing

65
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: earlier this season than everyone else, and so are the Cubs.

66
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 2: They're playing in Tokyo and those games will count later

67
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: this month. Why A, you're shaking your.

68
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: Head because they're playing first. Because Major League Baseball loves the.

69
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: Dodgers, that's right, and we at FT love all teams.

70
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: That's why we're visiting most of them, the ones that

71
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: are nice to us on our spring training tour. And

72
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: we have a calendar to show that off. So ooh,

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,839
Speaker 2: they have a reveal next week. We begin with the Orioles,

74
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: will be in Sarasota, then Pirates Camp, Yankees Camp, Cardinals Camp,

75
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: Mets Camp Tuesday through Friday. Camp. Wait, you'll have some

76
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: of those shows featuring not only one, but two FT

77
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: hosts at one camp. That'll be new for the first

78
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: time this year. So looking forward to all of that.

79
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: By the way, since there's game starting today, does that

80
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: mean we have to give a lock because I didn't

81
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: plan my lock in the day very.

82
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: Well, Absolutely absolutely not.

83
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm kind of feen and I'm kind

84
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: of feeing.

85
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. We're gonna wait until the regular season

86
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: to do.

87
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: But thank you because that's a lot of pressure at.

88
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: Yes, it is, and it's very difficult to predict spring

89
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: training games. I just know that the end gets very clunky.

90
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: That's my prediction. The end gets very command issue we

91
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: at times. That's okay, yes, exactly, all right, let's hit

92
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: charge the mound because we've got a little news charging

93
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: Aaron boone two year extension. So this year, Counts already

94
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: twenty five. This will extend him through the twenty twenty

95
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: seven season. So Yankee fans, Booney is signed up for

96
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: three more years to run the ship. Our thoughts, krats,

97
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: your former skipper? Is this good for him and for

98
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: the Yanks?

99
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 3: I mean, anytime you get an extension, it's good. Obviously,

100
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 3: the question has to be two years. When Counts got five,

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 3: I get it counts as a free agent, so maybe

102
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 3: they push it, but I definitely pushed it with the dollars.

103
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: I don't know.

104
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: I have to reserve judgment until we hear how much

105
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 3: how much he gets. I was hoping when I texted

106
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: him today, I congratulations, he would just give me his

107
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 3: entire contract layout but he didn't. He didn't, so I

108
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 3: don't know. Just so he gets this year and then

109
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 3: two more, which essentially you don't want to go into

110
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: the last year as a lame ducks, so then you're

111
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 3: back to the whole just a two year deal basically.

112
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what to say about

113
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: the two year part of it. I think it's all

114
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: he wanted. I think the Yankees aren't going to give

115
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: him five years. I think Aaron Boone has been there

116
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: for a long time, and listen, that's three more years

117
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: under the microscope in New York, and it's only going

118
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: to get they don't win, it's only gonna get tougher

119
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: and tougher. I think Boone is a great Aaron Boone

120
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: is a great manager. I think he deserves more than this.

121
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: I think he deserves a ton of money. But it's

122
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: ironic that we talked about this yesterday and then Boone

123
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: Boone signed an extension. So I'm happy for Aaron. I'm sure. Listen,

124
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: of course he wanted five years, but at the end

125
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: of the day, this is basically a three year agreement

126
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: that he has this year and two more years, so

127
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: he's not a lame duck. He's got two more years

128
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: after this one, and in two years, guess what if

129
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: he's doing a good job, he still loves it, and

130
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: everything is good with his health, he can sign another

131
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: two year extension. He just keep piling it on. I mean,

132
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: I know that. Yeah, we're a little surprised it was

133
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: only a two year extension, but it's better than a

134
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: new year extension.

135
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: Sure, well, is it? Because according to his boss, Brian Cashman,

136
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: teams would have been going after him hard in the

137
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: offseason if they let him.

138
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: They didn't let him get there for free agency.

139
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: I understand. But if they didn't let him get there

140
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: by offering him more years, that would have been fine too.

141
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: If he was interested in that, like you said, he

142
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: might have just been like, I'm good, let's just do

143
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: two years, make this three total, and we'll keep trucking.

144
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: But if the Yankees were like, yeah, we're doing two,

145
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: and he was saying I want five like Craig Council,

146
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: it wouldn't have been an unreasonable ask, and it could

147
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 2: have gotten to a point where he said, Okay, I

148
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 2: guess I'll have to go to free agency. We didn't

149
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: get to that point. But here's the next layer. Aj

150
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: Does this affect Dave Roberts' contract negotiations? Because I think

151
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: Dave is looking for something very different. I think Dave

152
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: is saying five years fifty, I am worth two million

153
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: dollars more than the highest paid manager, and I am

154
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: in this for the long term. There shouldn't be any

155
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: disputes here. So if that's the case, then why does

156
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: Boonie only get two? That's my only thought process here

157
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: is how the val is only two years for a manager.

158
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it affects him. I think that I

159
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: think that Dave Roberts is in a different universe because

160
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: of who he manages and the team that he manages.

161
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: I think the Dodgers do things differently. Then the Dodgers

162
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: don't look at other teams and say, oh, Aaron boon

163
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: only got two here, it's only going to give Dave

164
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: Roberts to yours. There's one huge difference. Dave Roberts has

165
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: two World Series rings in his back pocket that Aaron

166
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: Boone does not have as a manager. So I think

167
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: I think Dave Roberts goes to them and they're going

168
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: to figure it out. And whether you know, if Dave

169
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: Roberts gets a two to three four year deal, again,

170
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: a lot of guys don't want to do this for

171
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: the rest of their life. Maybe Aaron Boone just only

172
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,719
Speaker 1: wants to do this for two more years. He'll be what,

173
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: let see, if I'm forty eight, he's a couple of

174
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: years older than me, so he'd be like fifty four

175
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: ish around then fifty three fifty four when he gets

176
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: to that point. I mean, he's had a nice life,

177
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: he's made a lot of money. Maybe he doesn't want

178
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: to do it more than two more years or three

179
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: more years. Who knows. Maybe after two years he's like, man,

180
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: I really love this, Let's do it again if they're

181
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: still having success. So to me, this doesn't say this

182
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: isn't a knock on Aaron Boone, and this has no

183
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: effect on Dave Roberts.

184
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 3: And it's not a knock on the Yankees for only

185
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: giving them two years too. You just hear counts as

186
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: five year deal and you're like, all right, you know,

187
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: I assume that's what the next two best managers as

188
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 3: far as success would get. I mean, both those guys

189
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: have had a better resume than than count, so you

190
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: assume they would get more per year. Sometimes it's not

191
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: all about the money in the years for guys you

192
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 3: don't just lock yourself up for that long and that's

193
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: a long time being in a big market. That is

194
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 3: a draining season on you and your wife. It's you

195
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: and your family. Also, when you talk about these contracts,

196
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 3: you'd have to be remiss to talk about like, okay,

197
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 3: boone wants to stay around. Okay, well, what's his coaching

198
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 3: staff going to look like? What's the you know, is

199
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 3: the training staff getting taken care of? Not that it

200
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: needs to be like dollar per dollar, but you sit

201
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: there and you go, if I'm extending this guy as

202
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,079
Speaker 3: a team, do I have to extend out everybody? Are

203
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: we keeping everybody around? Or is he his own separate entity?

204
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 3: And then we're gonna have you know, the organization is

205
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 3: going to go in a different direction. So two years

206
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 3: allows you to be there with the group that you

207
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: have in place and go and do what you've been trying,

208
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: what you just fell short of for the Yankees last year,

209
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: and what you accomplished this year this past year for

210
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 3: the Dodgers.

211
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: Okay, So last thought here, if the Dodgers go to

212
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: Dave Roberts and say we're going to offer you two

213
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: years after this, is that okay? And is it okay?

214
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 2: For Dave to be like, ah, hell no, I'm getting five.

215
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: He can say whatever he wants, but if he wants

216
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: to leave, he doesn't want to leave. He's he's an

217
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: LA guy. He's a Southern California guy. I mean, I

218
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: think it's fine for them to do though, but I

219
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: think they'll they'll, they'll figure out something in the middle.

220
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: Council was kind of an outlier because he was a

221
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: free agent and a team in his own division wanted

222
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: him really badly, and they went out and paid for

223
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: him and got him. So I just think Council is

224
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: an out er. Yes, he wants to move the managerial market,

225
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: but some teams, again don't value managers like that. So

226
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: it's not like you're a free agent you have Scott

227
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: Morris negotiating for you against other teams. It's just doesn't

228
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: work out like that. And and listen, Dave Roberts is

229
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: going to be the Dodger manager for a while. They

230
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: love him, he's a great guy. He's handled that team

231
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: unbelievably well. I just don't see he's not going anywhere

232
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: anytime soon. For me, I don't see how he goes anywhere.

233
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 3: Two years, five years, whatever it is. To me, I

234
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 3: think it just needs to make more than what counts

235
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: is making. I think that's only fair.

236
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: Do you think that there's a large difference in the

237
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: good and the bad managers in the game? And I

238
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: have to talk to some fans, you do, right, Some

239
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: fans are like, well, there is a huge difference that

240
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 2: can do it.

241
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: There is a difference. I wouldn't say there's a difference.

242
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: I think there's a hundred different difference. I think there's

243
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: a huge difference in because you talk you said good

244
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: ones and the bad ones, and it's not necessarily tied

245
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: to wins and losses. To me, there's definitely a huge difference.

246
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: There's guys that are connected, engaged, able to change with

247
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: the times, what the player's needs are, what the coaching

248
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: staff's needs are, and they have to be they have

249
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: to be fluid and they can't just be like, this

250
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: is the only way to do it, and if you

251
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: don't do it my way, then you're out.

252
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: Eventually you're going to be the one that's out if

253
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 3: you're constantly saying that.

254
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: So you have to adapt.

255
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: I mean, Bucks coming on, he knows about needing to adapt,

256
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 3: like that's part of to me, that's part of being

257
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: a manager if you're going to do it for a

258
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 3: long time, because there's always standards. But you can't just

259
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 3: constantly be just one way. You have to learn how

260
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: to get the most out of your players.

261
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: Okay, I think Buck Showalter coming on, he's managed in

262
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: both New York teams. Let's ask him what it's like

263
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: to manage New York and even though he had, you know,

264
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: great rosters, or he didn't have great rosters, at certain times,

265
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: he didn't win everyone. You know, everyone says, oh, well,

266
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts have these great teams. Well,

267
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: guess what, it doesn't always work out. Even if you

268
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: have the greatest so called team in the world, sometimes

269
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: it just doesn't work out.

270
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: Of course, do you think that Chris Woodward to Bruce

271
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 2: bochie was a major factor in the Rangers winning the

272
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: World Series a couple of years ago.

273
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: And they had better players. But that doesn't make Chris

274
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: wood Word a bad manager.

275
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 3: It makes him not as good as what Boachie was

276
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 3: able to unlock. They take it good players absolutely. To me,

277
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 3: I think it's harder to it's harder to manage good

278
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: players because you have more egos to manage. You have

279
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 3: more time that you need to spend with those guys

280
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: to be able to figure out how to get the

281
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: most out of them. Yes, if you have a whole

282
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: team of superstars, you roll the balls out there, absolutely,

283
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: But at one hundred and sixty two games, you can't

284
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 3: just roll the balls out there. You got to make

285
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 3: sure everybody's touching the rock. You got to make sure

286
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: everybody's pushing in the right direction and not taking days

287
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 3: off against the number one starter from the other team,

288
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: like you got to push these guys. And to me,

289
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 3: all the talk you hear of Dodgers players, it's an

290
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: extension of their coaches, which is an extension of their manager.

291
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,239
Speaker 2: And it all leads to a formula that's either successful

292
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: or not. Obviously, players on the field are the biggest factor,

293
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: but to me, it still has the same component of Okay,

294
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: can the Tigers be really good at third base with

295
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: what they currently have? Sure, but if you add Bragman,

296
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: it increases your win probability. This is a talent, right,

297
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 2: just like a coach can increase your win probability on

298
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 2: their decision making, on how they operate, personalities in the clubhouse,

299
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: how they make lineup decisions within the front office, how

300
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 2: they communicate information from the front office to their players.

301
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: All of this leads to a formula that creates end

302
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: result winning team or a losing team. Kratz, What time is.

303
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 3: It time to stop overpaying for wireless with these bogus

304
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: fees in quote free perks that actually cost more in

305
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: the long run.

306
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. What he's saying is it's

307
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,200

Speaker 2: maybe a hammer. But we're gonna do this every week

325
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: during the season, like every week.

326
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: Why are we doing it every week? It's gonna be

327
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: overreaction Monday every week? Like, how about like, I don't.

328
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: Know if we're gonna do it on Monday. We might

329
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 2: do it on Thursdays.

330
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: Wow, because it's just do you know what you should do?

331
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: You should do it on Fridays. Why that's so selfish

332
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: of you?

333
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: Why what happens on Fridays? I don't get it.

334
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: You have the weekend coming up so you can get

335
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: ready for the baby.

336
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: Right, oh, right, right right, So you're trying to work.

337
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: The bench player. The bench player doesn't play every day.

338
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: True.

339
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: True?

340
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: Maybe you know what, maybe we will, Maybe we'll take

341
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: it off if it bothers you that much, maybe we

342
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: will do it on Friday.

343
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: It bothered me. I'm just saying that I think that,

344
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: like doing a power ranking every week is too much.

345
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: Just my opinion, my opinion on my opinion matters on

346
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: this show. None none? Can we do it on Fridays?

347
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: Every week?

348
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 2: On Friday, somebody put a pull up and ask if

349
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 2: you are into power rankings once per week just during

350
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 2: the season, there's like twenty five ish weeks. You do

351
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: it twenty five times. A lot changes in a week.

352
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 2: That's why we do a show every single day. But

353
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: we'll let the people decide.

354
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm all about power ranking management, Okay, I'm all about

355
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: my load management when it comes to power.

356
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: The thing is, though, you're either going to be in

357
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: or out because we're gonna do them and it's just

358
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: a matter of are we going to do them on

359
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: Fridays or non Fridays, So it's h or not.

360
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: I voted Fridays every Friday. You get to give his

361
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: power ranking every Friday. I like you. I'm not a

362
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: vote to that. I am I am, I am like

363
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: and Alex Fragman combined into one. I am just here

364
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: to help everyone win.

365
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: Cam Maven will enjoy some power rankings too, and as

366
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 2: his power rankings, this might be the only time you

367
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 2: ever get them because we're not going to do them

368
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: every week during spring training. But we wanted to get

369
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: ourselves all warmed up for this. So what are your

370
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: power rankings entering spring training exhibition games?

371
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: Am I going first?

372
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're going first because you're going first, and then

373
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: you're kind of going last for you haven't.

374
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah first. Obviously we all have The Dodgers won,

375
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: so we can skip that one. Now. I went full

376
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: Crats Homer with Philly because that guy on the right

377
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: I think is in for a big year and I

378
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: think their pitching is really good. Now, Originally when I

379
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: did this list, I only had a top five and

380
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: then we then Scott had to change it to ten,

381
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: so I had Atlanta, Arizona. The Yankees is the first

382
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: American League team. Yes, the Mets are six. That means

383
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: they're going to finish third. Crats way to go. And

384
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: then I had to reach for some American League team

385
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: because I'm like, man, it's nationally heavy. I think Boston, Baltimore,

386
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: the Al East is stacked, Texas down there at the bottom.

387
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: And then listen, I'll be honest. I think the A's

388
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: are going to compete for a playoff your spot this year.

389
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: That's why I have them as a sleeper pick. Thet

390
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: h are my sleeper pick to compete for a playoff

391
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: spot this year. And if you notice what team is

392
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: missing in that that first top ten that people are

393
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: picking to be really kind of good this.

394
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: Year, Cratros, Nope, No and no Central the Cubs. Oh,

395
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 3: the Mets are right there in six. The Cubs.

396
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: You know why, because I'll never pick the Cubs win anything,

397
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: so they're never going to.

398
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 2: Be There's another reason why AJ won't be part of

399
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: power rankings, because what if the Cubs are by far

400
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 2: the most dominant team in the first month of the

401
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 2: season and they're just still outside of his top ten.

402
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, they might make it. They might make a sleeper pick.

403
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: That's it. The best chance to go.

404
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: Well, all right, you've been eliminated. Good job. This is

405
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 2: the first and only time you'll see AJ's power rankings.

406
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: Krats go.

407
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: If you ain't first, you layist. Well.

408
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 3: I like the fact that we're kind of in cahoots here.

409
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 3: I'm going I bump the Yankees up a little bit more. Arizona,

410
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 3: We're really close there. I am a huge, huge Orioles fan.

411
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 3: They had the third best record in the American League

412
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 3: last year with the end with the second half that

413
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 3: they had. I think they're more of that first half team,

414
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 3: so I have to lean on that my third place

415
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 3: team in the National League East. No Mets fans have

416
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 3: ever heard me say that, so make sure they're there.

417
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: I honestly thought about putting the Rangers ahead of the

418
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 3: Mets because I think the Rangers are going to do

419
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: some really really special things. And I think the Reds

420
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,479
Speaker 3: win the NL Central. So that's why I don't have

421
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 3: AJ's Cubs in my top ten, because I think the

422
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 3: Reds are going to win the NL Central. I honestly

423
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 3: think the Brewers might come in second, in the Cubs

424
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 3: in third, but we'll see. Because I'm a third place guy.

425
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 3: Seattle is going to make huge, huge strides with another

426
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 3: one of AJ's favorite friends taking over the helm just

427
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 3: going to have to learn to make contact and this

428
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 3: pitching staff we're going to stay together. So Seattle's there,

429
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 3: and as I don't have any any teams from the

430
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 3: Central on here from the AL Central, so my sleeper

431
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 3: pick is KC. I think Case wins because another year older,

432
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 3: another year wiser of MVP candidate Bobby Witt, and they

433
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 3: added a little bit more to that lineup. When I

434
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 3: don't know that the lineup needed a ton more in

435
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 3: a sense of like they weren't gonna go get an

436
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 3: Anthony Santander. Oh wait, they did offer him. That would

437
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 3: have been a huge pickup. But getting Jonathan India will

438
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: be bigger than I think people think. And this pitching

439
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 3: staff knows how to get outs.

440
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: I mean, some Brewers fans.

441
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: They made the playoffs last year. They're not a sleeper pick.

442
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: They made the postseason last year. This is like bol

443
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: take both take. The Dodgers have the best chance to

444
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: win the World Series. They're not a sleeper pick. They

445
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: won that. They made the player else last year. Hang on,

446
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: hang on, let me see what sleeper pick means.

447
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 3: Oh, it means whatever the heck I think it means.

448
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 3: It was just something from that not in the top ten.

449
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 3: So maybe it's more of an honorable mention pick. Then

450
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: you should have said that instead of sleeper pick. The

451
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 3: Scott's sleeper pick is gonna be a sleeper hole.

452
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: That's fine. Scott's sleeper pick is gonna be the Mariners.

453
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: We already know it. Go ahead, Scott the.

454
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: Red touch anything. I'm not talking about them for anything

455
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 2: years And I'm curious. Crats I mean, the Mariners are

456
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: better than the Padres right.

457
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 3: Now, having better than the Padres, Okay, they have the

458
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 3: they have the best. They have the most perceived value

459
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 3: from the starting rotation, second most it from the pen.

460
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 3: So they're doing down on the fact that they can

461
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 3: just pitch pitch, pitch, pitch pitch. I'm not saying they're

462
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 3: scoring runs. I'm saying it's gonna be enough.

463
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 2: Okay, you need to score runs to win. But okay,

464
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: that's fine. Let's go to my top ten. Please, we

465
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: all are on the same page right now. The Dodgers

466
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 2: and I do think the Phillies have a deep starting rotation,

467
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: still a very strong lineup. Actually really like the thought

468
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: of Trey Turner batting leadoff for the Phillies. I do

469
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 2: think they need to switch it up and have a

470
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 2: pest at the top. And I think it'll reignite Turner two,

471
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 2: so he seems excited about it. So Phillies, and this

472
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: is entering the season, obviously things change here. I got

473
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 2: Mets three right now based on obviously the Sodo addition,

474
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 2: bullpen gets better. Yes, I know their question marks with

475
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: the rotation, but I blasted that last year and I

476
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 2: was wrong. I got the Diamondbacks four. Diamondbacks were a

477
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 2: fringe playoff team last year. They had the best offense

478
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 2: in baseball without Corbyn Carol being himself for most of

479
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 2: that time. I think he'll be more of the twenty

480
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 2: twenty three version, and they added Corpin Burns. I've got

481
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 2: Atlanta five that can tick up when Strider and Acunya

482
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 2: come back. I want to see them come back. I've

483
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: got the Padre six. They were the second best team

484
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 2: in baseball last year to the Dodgers, so I know

485
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: they lost some pieces, but they didn't lose that many pieces,

486
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 2: and they did add Piveta to the rotation. I've got

487
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: the Yankee seven. That's my first American League team, because

488
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 2: the American League is far worse than the National League

489
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 2: for a second consecutive year, that is not disputable. The

490
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: Tigers eight, an emerging team, did well in the playoffs,

491
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 2: added some pieces in the offseason. Cleveland did win the

492
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 2: division last year, pretty close to the same team. I

493
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: hate them losing Nailer, but for now I'm going to

494
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,239
Speaker 2: keep them in here and then I do like what

495
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,479
Speaker 2: Texas did in the offseason, so I kind of finished

496
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 2: with those al clubs, Go ahead, make fun of me.

497
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 2: What do you want? What am I missing? Oh? And

498
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 2: my sleeper pick Cincinnati because they didn't make the playoffs

499
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: last year. That definitely, that definitely qualifies as a sleeper pick. Okay,

500
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 2: if the sleeper pick isn't, hey, let's find a super

501
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: crappy team and say that they should be part of

502
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: the top ten. It's just like, hey, here's a team

503
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 2: that doesn't get a lot of level, lot of respect.

504
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 2: But I'm thinking about you. That's all right? What did

505
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 2: I do wrong? Ajay?

506
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: I mean I can't really. I mean, San Diego, I

507
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: think you have too high because I'm just worried about

508
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: their starting pitching. I think that you know, no Muscrove,

509
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,719
Speaker 1: a normal overseas is going to be there. What are

510
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: we going to get out of almost a forty year

511
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: old you darvish At this point, I just don't know

512
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: that San Diego is that high. And plus they lost

513
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: a lot of offensive firepower and profar and so I

514
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: don't know. I think they're a little bit high. I

515
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: thought about Detroit and I thought about Cleveland in the

516
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: top ten, but I just I'm not sold on any

517
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: of those teams because if Detroit would have got bragmant

518
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: I would have bumped them up. But the rest of

519
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 1: the list is pretty good. Scott, I feel like you

520
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: know you pretty much nailed it. I get the Cincinnati

521
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: sleeper pick with Tito. You know Nick Lodolo accordinator Kratz

522
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: is going to win the cy Young So I mean, yeah,

523
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: I get that pick.

524
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: And for me about Diego, I wait, just quick response

525
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 2: on San Diego.

526
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: Cool.

527
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: If they trade Cease, I'll knock them down. But I

528
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 2: just can't do that yet.

529
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: Cecin King, Ceci and King have to have mega years

530
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: for San Diego because that rotation. For me, my PROBLEMI is,

531
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 3: I think you gotta have I have no problem with

532
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 3: Detroit and Cleveland up there. You gotta have Texas above them.

533
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 3: I truly believe Texas is a better team than both

534
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 3: of those teams.

535
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 2: That's fine, but that's nitpicking. So if that's the biggest

536
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 2: criticism you have for me, I included them my top ten.

537
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 2: They didn't make the playoffs last year. They did have

538
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 2: guys with down seasons and injuries. Starting staff, could have

539
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 2: a lot of injuries, a lot of injury prone guys there.

540
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 2: So I just want to see them prove it a

541
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 2: little bit and then I can bump them up. Cleveland

542
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: and Detroit obviously both made the playoffs last year, and

543
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: we're both pretty successful in the playoffs. So that's why

544
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 2: I do factor in what they did last year when

545
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 2: we were doing spring training power.

546
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 3: Did Cleveland upgrade A ton? Did Cleveland upgrade? I know

547
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 3: they made it.

548
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 2: You could make a click case that they downgraded. Andre

549
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 2: Semenez gone, Josh Naylor gone. So I don't feel great

550
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 2: about Cleveland, but I felt like, out of respect how

551
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: much damage they did last year in the regular season,

552
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 2: kind of running away right towards the end with the

553
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: division that I had to give this to them, and

554
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 2: they made it to the ALCS. So sure the bullpen

555
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 2: might collapse, but if it doesn't and it looks like

556
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 2: the way it does, I mean it's an historically good bullpen.

557
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: So I think I think it feel good for now.

558
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: But let us know what you think. What do you like?

559
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,679
Speaker 2: What do you not like from what we did? Okay,

560
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 2: and goodbye, AJ great job doing Power rankings. You were awesome.

561
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 2: One and done. George Costanza, he's out of our building,

562
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: all right. Ftfan collectors, there is a new, better way

563
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 2: to buy, sell, trade, or display your sports cards. It's

564
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 2: called Arena Club and Kratz, I know you love it.

565
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 2: The ft fans got to go to arenaclub dot com

566
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: slash foul to sign up and get a little extra

567
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 2: something I'll tell you about in a moment. But buying

568
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 2: in the past was clunky, it wasn't easy.

569
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: It wasn't easy.

570
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 3: But now you don't have to worry about any of

571
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: the shipping and it's all just it's easy right there.

572
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 3: It's guaranteed authentic two for me, so I don't have

573
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: to worry about that big exactly.

574
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 2: Arena Club uses blockchain technology to deliver your card immediately.

575
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 2: There's no shipping delays, you don't lose your card in transit,

576
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: there's no oh my dog ate the card and now

577
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 2: you don't have it. So here's a different one instead.

582
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 2: At Corner Hitting a report from Evan Drelik. Here's Laurence

583
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 2: Butler hitting bombs, by the way, But the report from

584
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 2: Drelik is there are talks contract extension, talks between the

585
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 2: ATHS and law Dog there it is talking long term extension.

586
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: I mean, good move anywhere. Yeah, do it. I'm not

587
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: always on board. I'm usually on board because I don't

588
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: know what the numbers are. AJA extension hit percentage is

589
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: high when you're investing in a player so early on

590
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: in his service time just doesn't cost as much. So

591
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 2: unless you really think the player is not going to

592
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,719
Speaker 2: stick in the big leagues and be a shell of

593
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: what you're seeing now, then do it. This is the

594
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 2: time to get value. This is how certain teams are

595
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: able to create a powerhouse. The Atlanta Braves have nailed this.

596
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: And even if you don't get every single player correct,

597
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: you're still gonna get more wins than losses. Acunya alone, right,

598
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: Acunya alone, they could have missed on like five others.

599
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 2: Acuna's on an eight year one hundred and I think

600
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 2: there might be options or whatever it is. There's there's

601
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 2: so much surplus value in savings here. So thoughts on

602
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: Butler getting some cash.

603
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: Two times out for this one. I hope he gets it,

604
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: and I hope they do it, and I hope they

605
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: make it a long one and good for him, and

606
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: once it's done, he'll be happy. And then we move

607
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: on to the next guy. I love, I love early

608
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: extensions for guys to deserve it.

609
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 3: Get him before he hits an All Star Game, because

610
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 3: there's all Star written all over me. He was thirty

611
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 3: one percent above average on ops plus, and a lot

612
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 3: of that was after he made a swing change and

613
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 3: a mental change of how he approaches his at bats.

614
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 3: His strikeouts went down, his chase percentage went down, Like

615
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 3: do it now because tomorrow it's gonna cost you more.

616
00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: Like you gotta do it before he starts playing.

617
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 2: All right, let's slap and we're gonna stay on online

618
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 2: for the other crew, so we'll get into some things.

619
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 2: But good luck to Team USA tonight and four Nations

620
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: And we don't have time to go over this, but

621
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: aj I think the NHL dusted the NBA in their

622
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 2: mid season plans. The NBA is falling apart with their

623
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 2: All Star Game coverage this year was worse than ever.

624
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: This weird gimmicks stopping the freaking game to honor a

625
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: show that's still going on, and the game sucks. The

626
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: players don't care anymore. It's like not cool to try

627
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: as if you're what you're so worried about getting hurt

628
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: to play a quarter and a half of extra basketball,

629
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: then don't go. It's gross. So Hockey, you crushed it

630
00:30:59,720 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 2: on this.

631
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: Your thoughts is one of the this is this is

632
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: one of those things that hockey did and they and

633
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: when you thought about it, you're like, man, someone could

634
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: really get hurt, someone could mess up big time. But

635
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the most attention hockey's gotten in

636
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: a long time, and good for hockey. Way to go,

637
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: and you know what, even more way to go to

638
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: the players for playing like they care and they matter. Now.

639
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: Baseball I still think has the best All Star Game

640
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: because it's the most natural all Star game. You still

641
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: have pitchers pitching, you still have hitters hitting and all that.

642
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: But there are tweaks we can make to the All

643
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: Star Game. We should try some different things. Keep the

644
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: game the same, but try some different things just to

645
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: make it a little bit crazy every once in a while.

646
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. But to do what the NBA

647
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: has done and make it or the NFL make it

648
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: flag football, you know, whatever, or the NBA, where they're

649
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: like Chuck versus Shack versus.

650
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, yeah, the NFL is a tougher

651
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: sell because they do kill each other on the field. NBA,

652
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: come on, you can't play a quarter and a half

653
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: of extra basketball. All right, we got a few minutes

654
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 2: to we do Dodgers territory and we're just with the

655
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: YouTube crowd here and bringing a little spice. Okay, question guys,

656
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: how do you wear your hat when you're catching behind

657
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: the plate?

658
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: Backwards? Okay?

659
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 2: Backwards? The answers backwards.

660
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: Right, It's called a pot not a helmet, by the way, Okay,

661
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: the helmet that you wore.

662
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: The reason I bring this up is twofold. Sometimes, actually

663
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: pretty often on YouTube comments post show people are like,

664
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: it's so inappropriate for you to wear your hat backwards.

665
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, shut up. And then you usually do get

666
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: a good crowd that jumps in and says, also, whydoucare

667
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 2: dot com? And then today one of the fans was like,

668
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: I don't like Scott's hair. Why do you care? Thank you?

669
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 2: They're like, you need to switch it. No, I'm not

670
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 2: switching it. Shut up, Stop talking about our looks. We're

671
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: not going up here inappropriate. Okay, there's nothing on our

672
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: shirts that are inappropriate. Our offensive. You don't like our

673
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: hair or hats. I'm so sorry. Do you walk around

674
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 2: in life and just point to people on the subway, Hey,

675
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 2: your hair sucks today? Let me know how that would go.

676
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: Your hair does kind of suck Today's I'm not gonna lie. Well,

677
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: I can say that your hair does kind of suck today.

678
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 2: This is what this is what the kids do. And really,

679
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 2: my girlfriend's three feet away, she likes it. I don't

680
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 2: care about everybody else. Kiss my ass.

681
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 3: And if you want to wear your hat backwards, you

682
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 3: got to be a catcher, so that's fair. You can

683
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 3: wear it. That's I mean, it's the show is called

684
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 3: foul Territory. AJ played his entire career because he was

685
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 3: afraid of the baseball in foul Territory. That's where he

686
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 3: played his career. I'm not ashamed to admit that.

687
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 2: I always have a variety of responses. How to catchers

688
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 2: wear their hat? How did Griffy wear his hat? I'm

689
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: just like, do you hate anyone for a backwards hat?

690
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: And by the way, there's two things. One a hat

691
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: we used to wear it is called a scully. It

692
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: was called a skull cap. And my stepdad when I

693
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: was growing up, people started wearing their hat backwards, said

694
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: if they were supposed to be worn backwards, they put

695
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: a logo on the back, and I'm like, well now

696
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: they do so soon after that they started so that's

697
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: why they started doing it.

698
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 2: That is true. Eric Kratz is an MLB logo influencer

699
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 2: now krats AT's on our way out.

700
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: Good reminder, we were both giants.

701
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 3: Even though we were the same size when we played

702
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 3: on other teams, we were still both giants.

703
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 2: Works for Halloween to go get after it. Thanks new
