Speaker 1: Eric any big plans for the weekend?

8
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: Big plans I got. We got a baseball game. It's

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: going to be seventy two degrees up.

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 3: Here on Sunday.

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: I have a rule when I quit playing baseball that

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: I would not go golfing if I went on my own,

13
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 2: but if somebody asks me, that's the only time I

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: go golfing.

15
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 3: So I got.

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: Invited to go golfing Sunday, and my wife said, of

17
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: course you can go.

18
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 3: Nicely.

19
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: What a nice wife. Seventy two degrees. I am jealous.

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: We are still in the high thirties, low forties here

21
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts, so I am jealous about that. All right, guys,

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: it is time to charge the mound at presented by

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: Fox one. We appreciate Fox one being a partner with us,

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: So what do you think about this being a former

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: catcher yourself. The Mets, apparently eric are calling pitches from

26
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: the dugout. Apparently they're taking a page out of the

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: Miami Marlins book. Quote. Hey Castillo and Alden Gonzalez, who

28
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: write for ESPN, said the Mets are experimenting with dugout

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: relaying pitch calls to the catcher. Now take us back

30
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: to how typically you would have a pitch call relayed

31
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: to you when you played, and tell us more about

32
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do.

33
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: I mean, for me, I would call the pitches. Whether

34
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: the pitcher liked how it's going the game or not,

35
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: they would shake off. So that's the traditional way it's

36
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 2: always going. You're reading the swings, you're looking at the situation.

37
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: You're also remember bring all the numbers in your head.

38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: You build out your own scattered report. You remember, oh yeah,

39
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: how did that picture face this guy in his career?

40
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: Is it one at bat? Did he have twenty at

41
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: bats against him? And so all that goes into the

42
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: decision that now is on a pitch clock. So we

43
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: heard from the Marlins the Marlins are doing a Hey,

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: we're calling the pitches. But we've also heard from their

45
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: pictures that if they don't want it, they can shake

46
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: it off.

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: I don't know how much Lee Way.

48
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 2: Augustine Ramirez, a catcher for the Marlins, will have in

49
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 2: saying Okay, maybe I don't like that call, or maybe

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: I'm already have something in my mind. I haven't heard

51
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: enough of that, but we know from the pictures. I

52
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: think Tyler Phillips was on he said, you know, if

53
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: you don't like it, it's a suggestion and you can

54
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: shake it off. The Mets, I think are going what

55
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: I would consider the next tier down, which is something

56
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 2: that I think is has been done. I think it's

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: been done in different places. This is because you sit

58
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,959
Speaker 2: there and you go. You don't have all the answers

59
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: as a catcher. Some catchers would say, yeah, you just throw,

60
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: you just throw whatever I call. I never was a

61
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: fan of that because I was always looking at it

62
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: like I'm giving you a suggestion. I want you to

63
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: feel comfortable with the pitch that you're calling, and this

64
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: pitch is what I'm seeing and reading, and you know what,

65
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: if you give up a hit on the pitch I call.

66
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: I want both of us to have the same ownership

67
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: on it. So when you add in a third party

68
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: from the dugout, my issue is, what are you seeing

69
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: from the dugout that I'm not seeing from the field. Now,

70
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing from this hitter. Now, I'm not seeing

71
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: from the pitcher, and how he's throwing on, what his

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: cutter looks like that day, a slider looks like that day.

73
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: They're just looking from the dugout. They go to the

74
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: iPad and they go forty three percent sliders in a

75
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: two to two count. Okay, we're either going off of

76
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: that or we're like, oh, this guy can't hit a slider,

77
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: so we're gonna go rate to it.

78
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: They're working on the numbers, you're working on the vision.

79
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: So to me, the.

80
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: METS, I kind of like it a little bit, But

81
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: you're really towing the line there, I don't.

82
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: I think it just adds another wrinkle, another level of communication,

83
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: another layer. Rather, I think ultimately it is the picture's

84
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: decision as to what he wants to throw. He will

85
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: end up having to own it if it is the

86
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: wrong picture and he is shaking you off. But doesn't

87
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: it just add another layer of perhaps confusion lost in

88
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: translation type of situation. Why do we need to get

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: calls now being relaid from the dugout. Do you not

90
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: trust your catcher enough? Are you relying too much on analytics?

91
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: What is the other side of this coin.

92
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: The other side in the negative sense, or I mean

93
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: in the other side, the other side is that you're

94
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: just going by the numbers, and just going by the

95
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: numbers is all find and good.

96
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 3: The numbers are the numbers for reason.

97
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,119
Speaker 2: There's a large sample size, and I am a big

98
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 2: proponent of it. But a season can sway on one

99
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: pitch or another. I heard the twenty eighteen when the

100
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: Red Sox won the World Series that in one of

101
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: their post season leading up to the regular season the

102
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: nineteen regular season, the people from and I don't know

103
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: exactly who all said it, but it was directed towards

104
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 2: the pitching coach, pitching staff, you know, pitch calling people

105
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: on the big league team. A group from the analytic

106
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: department said, if you guys would have listened to exactly

107
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: the pitches that we had on our sheet, you would

108
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: have had a half a run lower team ERA for

109
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: the season, to the point the Red Sox that year

110
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: led the league in ERA. If I'm not mistaken, if

111
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 2: they if they didn't lead the league. They were top

112
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: three in twenty eighteen and they won the World Series.

113
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: So you could not have had more success than what

114
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: they had. But analytically they look at it and they

115
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: go would have been half a run less. And I

116
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: don't one hundred percent agree with that, because there's situations

117
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: when Chris Sale goes out there and his slider is

118
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: not exactly the way it normally looks, you're gonna have

119
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: to work in more heaters. You go out there in

120
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 2: a situation where Chris Sales faced player X and he's

121
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: had success, and the numbers would say, yes, you need

122
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: to throw a slider, but history would say if you

123
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: throw a slider in this situation, he's gonna slowly work

124
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: the batter into an ability to hit his pitches. And

125
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: so that's the give and take, that's the push in

126
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 2: the pool, and ultimately the one of the things that

127
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 2: you said, Alana, is what I'm fearful of. When you

128
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 2: used to make a bad pitch call, or when when

129
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: you used to give up a hit, you'd come in

130
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: as a catcher and go into the dugout and the

131
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: pitching coach would sit down there, he put his hand

132
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 2: on your leg and be like, what were you thinking

133
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 2: right there?

134
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: What's the deal?

135
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 2: And as a catcher, as a young catcher, you sit

136
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: there and you go, oh man, sorry, like yeah, and

137
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: then the pitching coach kind of gets back on you

138
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: and gets back on you, gets back on you, and

139
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 2: ultimately it's the result of the pitch. And ultimately, as

140
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: a catcher, when you take that next step as a

141
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: pitch caller, you look at that pitching coach and you go,

142
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: you know what, if you can do better, why don't

143
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: you call the pitchers Because I'm out there trying to

144
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: make the best decision. And that's when the pitching coach

145
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: knows that the catcher has taken that next step, graduated

146
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: to that next step of I'm confident in my decision

147
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: because of this. So it's less about the pitch that

148
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: you're calling and more about the reason you're calling it.

149
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: And when you're only calling it from the dugout, the

150
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: reason you're calling it is because you got it on

151
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: your computer.

152
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: That's in my opinion, this one's for the dudes looking

153
00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: for peak.

154
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 4: Bedroom Blue Choo is the number one chewable ed brand

155
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 4: and they just dropped their newest innovation. It is called

156
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 4: the Blue Cheo Gold.

157
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: Blue Choo Gold dissolves under your tongue and works in

158

172
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: Eric, what about the element of feel? You look at

173
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: your numbers and I can understand that there is a

174
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: place for saber metrics. I can understand there's a place

175
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: for analytics in the game. But let's say you're looking

176
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: at your sheet and you're saying, all right, this guy

177
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: has this type of average against a slider blah blah blah,

178
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: and a two to two count or a three to

179
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: two count, you should throw it here. What if your

180
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: pitcher that day didn't have the slider in the bullpen session,

181
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: couldn't transition it to a game. The slider's not working

182
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, you have to go a different off

183
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: speed pitch, or you're just relying on the fastball to

184
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: figure it out. How much does feel play a part

185
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: in this? I can understand that they said, Okay, if

186
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: you want to shake us off, if you don't want

187
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: to use it, that's fine in terms of our suggestion

188
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: when we're relaying a certain call. But as the catcher,

189
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: you know what your pitcher has working that day. I

190
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: would imagine feel is a huge part of what you're

191
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: putting down or putting in your PitchCom or whatever it is.

192
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: In this day and age.

193
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is feel, but it's also you better get

194
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: it right. You better get it like your look at it.

195
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: You go into Colorado, we had Cliff Lee and Roy

196
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 2: holiday On in the same rotation. Cliff Lee had a

197
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 2: great cutter. He would throw his cutter all the time,

198
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: and his cutter would sink that one the one day

199
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: that he threw in Colorado when I was there with him.

200
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: So it was it was sinking or it was staying straight.

201
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: So you're like, I can't call the cutter because you

202
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: want to call the cutter in to be able jam

203
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: guys up inside. But if that stays out over the plate,

204
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 2: that's dangers. Roy Holliday, great sinker, also a good cutter.

205
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: His sinker was cutting. His cutter was sinking. So you

206
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: sit there and you go, you're looking over and you go,

207
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: what do you want me to throw?

208
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 3: Oh? A cutter?

209
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. But a sinker right here

210
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: is what the cutter is. So how can you you know,

211
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: you're already working those things in your head. You're already

212
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: talking to the picture in between innings. So I think

213
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: it's something that the feel is so important. It's so

214
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: important to be able to say, Okay, this is our

215
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 2: game plan. Holy crap, we just gave up a first

216
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: pitch triple. What do we go to now?

217
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: Not?

218
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: Oh, well, now it's a second hitter. Analytically, it doesn't

219
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 2: really matter who's on base when you're calling pitches. Well

220
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: it does because you have different guys that have different approaches.

221
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: When there's different situations, and so you have to have

222
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: that feel and it's a constant feel, and I just

223
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: I'm not completely against it. I'm just wondering how the

224
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 2: person calling the pitches from the dugout is going to

225
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: also have that feel without talking in between innings, which

226
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: you're doing anyway, without somebody calling the pitches.

227
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: One other thing about this before we move on and

228
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: welcome in Susan Slesser, who is a writer for the

229
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: San Francisco Chronicle covering the Giants. What about this do

230
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: you fear if you do that, perhaps it will allow

231
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 1: a younger catcher to continue to second and guess themselves

232
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: and not take the next step in their own development

233
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: of calling pitches. If they're so reliant on someone calling

234
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: pitches in the dugout laying those pitches to them, are

235
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: they going to be willing to take a stand and

236
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: take the next step because of fear of making a mistake.

237
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's either way. That's either way you're

238
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: you're gonna if you're calling them on your own, you

239
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 2: feel you're gonna have that fear that you're gonna make

240
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 2: a mistake. If you're getting them from them, If you're

241
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: getting from the dugout. You're gonna have to learn to

242
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: be like, no, I'm saying this with my chest, I'm

243
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: calling this pitch. I don't think what you're calling is

244
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: the right call because you have to step out on

245
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: a limb and say I think this is best and

246
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 2: ultimately the game is played on the field. Ultimately the

247
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 2: game is played on the field, and there's there's a

248
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: there's also a value that I can't quantify, but I

249
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: think teams might be able to what pressure does this

250
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: alleviate from some of these younger catchers who can also hit.

251
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: To me, I couldn't hit. Everybody makes fun of my war,

252
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: my batting average, all that stuff. I wasn't as good

253
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: as a hitter as the two teams we're talking about.

254
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: Francisco or Augustine Ramirez both really good hitters. So does

255
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: this take some of that onus off of them and

256
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 2: get them ten extra hits fifteen extra hits during the year.

257
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, but if that's the case, there is

258
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: a value to that too.

259
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. I guess it depends on what it is that

260
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: you're looking for. One Mets player described the dugout sign

261
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: as a suggestion so the Carlos Mendoza and the Mets

262
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: working through it. See what they do in terms of

263
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: transitioning that to the regular season. Well, this episode is

Speaker 4: That's what he said.

273
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 3: That's what he said.

274
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 4: That's what he said.

275
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: We're bothcome me back alive. The foul territory. Bobashet is

276
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: embracing the New York Spotlight. Aims to be quote, one

277
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: of the best players in the game. I love this

278
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: about him, and it continues eric about I am capable

279
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: of being. This is in the athletic I am capable

280
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: of being. I don't think you can say the best

281
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: player in the game, because that is subjective, but I

282
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: can be one of the best players in the game.

283
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that he wants to be that.

284
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: Understanding the big stage that he's in. He always said

285
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: he wanted to play on the biggest stage. He didn't

286
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: necessarily think it was going to be New York as

287
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 1: a kid. He was thinking more you know, World Series, WBC,

288
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: those types of things. But you've got to have that attitude.

289
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: I think you've played in New York, You've got to

290
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: have that attitude if you want to embrace what the

291
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: expectations are.

292
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: I don't think New York can affect him. I just

293
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 3: I just feel like he was.

294
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: We interviewed him the other day when we were at

295
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: Mets camp, and like, I just think there's a different

296
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: confidence swag in there that I think other players maybe

297
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: sometimes lack, and that's what affects them in New York

298
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: because you have to be confident in yourself. But you

299
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 2: have to be confident in yourself to be one of

300
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 2: the best players. And when he said that, he was honest, like, look,

301
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: the best player in the game is Shoeo Tani. It's

302
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 2: everybody else after Shoho Tani. And to be one of

303
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: the best players in the game, you have to do

304
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: something better than everybody else. And to me, he he,

305
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: I mean, he's gonna he's gonna lead the league in

306
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: hits at some point, in the next three years. Maybe

307
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: this year he knows how to hit. He has a

308
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: hit tool, whereas batting average might not be super high

309
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: because he doesn't walk, but maybe these walks go up

310
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: this year because you know he's around the guy watching,

311
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: a guy like Juan Soto. But part of the reason

312
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: he gets so many hits is because he's able to

313
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 2: make contact with so many different pitches and he's able

314
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: to hit those balls hard still where other guys make

315
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: weak contact and they're getting out. So could he be

316
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 2: one of the best players. Absolutely. I think he's had

317
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: four two three four seasons where he's gotten MVP votes,

318
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: so yes, he's in that category. Does he want to

319
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: get in the top ten and MVP votes, Absolutely, But

320
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: the only way that happens is if he stays healthy

321
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: and his team is winning, because he will be a

322
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: central focal point of this team. Juan Soto's the guy,

323
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: but he will definitely be a central focal point and

324
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: if they're winning, that means he's doing good.

325
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: But I love what his former manager, John Schneider of

326
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays said about him, because I get

327
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: that sense. And I don't know Bobashut personally, but He

328
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: said that he's always very quiet, but when he speaks,

329
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: people listen. People knew he had a lot to offer.

330
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: He was very meticulous with what he said and how

331
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: he said it, when he said it to players, to

332
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: the media. That's what I love about him. He doesn't

333
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: just speak to speak. It's like, I know, perhaps a

334
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: lot of the people listening and watching don't remember the

335
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: commercials about Ef Hutton. I don't even know if you do, Eric,

336
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: I'm older than you. But it's like when you know,

337
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: when if Hutton talks, people listen. That's what I feel

338
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: like Bobashett is. He's not a guy that has to

339
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: talk a lot, but when he does talk, people are

340
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: paying attention. It's that quiet confidence that I like about him.

341
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 2: Let your bat speak. I guess you let your bat speak.

342
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: And anybody anybody that says, oh man, that guy talks

343
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 2: a lot, he seems really confident, it's not true at all,

344
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: Especially in sports. The loudest guys are usually the most

345
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: insecure guys. Not all the time, not all the time.

346
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's just personality. But the confident guys don't need

347
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: to talk a lot. They don't need to say, they

348
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 2: don't need to have this like voistous like appearance. Even

349
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 2: they just go out, they do their work because they

350
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: know what it takes to succeed. And I think he definitely,

351
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 2: he definitely owns that. And if somebody knows him as

352
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: a professional, it's Johns. John Schneider coached him at different

353
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 2: no way. I think he managed him at a bunch

354
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 2: of different levels in the minor leagues with the Blue Jays,

355
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: and then he became He was a coach when bo

356
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,400
Speaker 2: first got called up, and now he's been his manager

357
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 2: for a few years. So if there's somebody that knows

358
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: him and Vlad, it's my roomy, John Schneider.

359
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: What about the protection that he's going to get in

360
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: the Mets lineup versus the protection that he had in

361
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: the Jay's lineup. How do you think these lineups compared

362
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: to talking about getting them, you know, having the most hits,

363
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: getting some of the most hits, most walks, those types

364
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: of things, having the different lineup around him, How do

365
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: you think this lineup will serve him better? If in

366
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: fact you do, maybe not.

367
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: I mean I think it depends on where he's hitting

368
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 2: in the lineup. And without making a mistake, I am

369
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,239
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent sure where he's going to hit

370
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 2: in the lineup.

371
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 3: If he's going to be.

372
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: In front of one Soto, behind Juan Soto, I think

373
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 2: it'll manipulate some of his numbers. If you're hitting in

374
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 2: front of Wan Soto, I think you have of the

375
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 2: opportunity to get strikes. And with Boba Shet, a guy

376
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: who does not walk. To me, my scattered report is

377
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 2: I need to make him expand, expand, So sometimes you

378
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 2: got to go higher than high with your fastball. Sometimes

379
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 2: you're just up in the zone. He can still contact

380
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 2: that you're just two inches off the play. With your slider,

381
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 2: he's able to make good contact and go with that pitch.

382
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 2: But when you have if he's hitting in front of

383
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 2: Endor or in front of one Sodo, they don't want

384
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 2: they don't want you. They don't want to face Juan

385
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 2: Soto with a runner on base. They don't want to

386
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 2: face Vladimir Guerrero with a runner on base. Those are

387
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: two guys that can do damage and control the strike

388
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: zone so well. So to me, the more pitches he gets,

389
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: the more hits he's gonna get. And because he's he's

390
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 2: never gonna really walk. And you big Lee pitchers do

391
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 2: not want to go way out of the zone and

392
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 2: walk a guy who doesn't walk. But if he's hitting

393
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 2: behind those guys, if he was hitting behind Vladimir Guerrero,

394
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what the lineup construction was or is

395
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 2: going to be for the Mets, then those RBIs are

396
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 2: going to go up. Then you're talking about a guy

397
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 2: with a hit tool like that that can go to

398
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: all parts of the ballpark, that can get those hits

399
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 2: with runners in scoring position. You're talking about last year,

400
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: if he didn't get hurt, one hundred plus, one hundred

401
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 2: and ten plus RBI guy, he could do that for

402
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 2: the Mets. That is where That's where I think his

403
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 2: his abilities hitting. It's kind of like a chameleon. It

404
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 2: kind of depends on where he's at in the lineup.

405
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: I feel like so many topics of conversation Eric the

406
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: last couple of years, maybe even the last three years,

407
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: was that the window for Vladimir Guerrero Junior and Bobashet

408
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: we're closing playing together, and then it became the distraction.

409
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: Perhaps maybe that's not the right term, but then it

410
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: became the conversation of well, Vladdie's locked up are they

411
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: going to also lock up, but well, obviously that didn't happen.

412
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: He is now a New York meant for the foreseeable future.

413
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: How much can that help him not worry about like

414
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: he knows where he's playing, he knows where I am.

415
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to worry about am I going to

416
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: be here next year? The the contract talks and those

417
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: types of things. How much can that help?

418
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: I think it can definitely help. And I don't know

419
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 2: that necessarily hurt Bo this past year. I think it

420
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: was the year before when, from what I heard, the

421
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: conversations were already happening about extensions, and maybe his feelings

422
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 2: got hurt during that time. All that beside us, all

423
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: that behind us. This is essentially still a one year deal.

424
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: Like this is bobashek goes out and has the year

425
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: that won he wants to have, the Mets want him

426
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 2: to have, and the league wants him to have because

427
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 2: he can be a star in this league.

428
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 3: Not a superstar, but a star.

429
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: Then he's gonna go back out on the market and

430
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: he's gonna get an even bigger contract, but for a

431
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 2: longer period of time. So it's really a win win

432
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: for him. So there could still be that pressure of ooh,

433
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 2: I'm going back out there. Oh, you know, how does

434
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 2: this season if I start out slow? How does this

435
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: affect my essential free agency?

436
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 3: We'll see.

437
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: There was a rumor last year from some execs eric

438
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: according to a report on bleacher Report, that the Mets

439
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: clubhouse last season was a bit of a show, a

440
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: bit of a shit show, if you will, gripping the

441
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: Mets clubhouse and offseason moves quote, it was a disaster.

442
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: At least one MLB executive believe that the Mets had

443
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: must have must have had serious issues after letting Pete

444
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: Alonzo walk, Brandon Nimo go, Jeff McNeil is gone, obviously.

445
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: Do you think bobashett with this, you know what he

446
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: just said about wanting to be one of the better

447
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: players in the game can bring some new energy, new light,

448
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: kind of help with those clubhouse troubles of fact, if

449
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 1: they were, or as the new guy in there, are

450
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: you not even trying to mess with that? And what's

451
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: going on between perhaps Soto and Lindor and all of

452
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: those things.

453
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 2: That's a lot, I mean, that's a lot going on.

454
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 2: It's a lot to ask a guy who we just

455
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: spoke about it. He's kind of introverted, he's kind of quieter,

456
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: So I don't think the Mets are necessarily looking for

457
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: him to be the leader. I think the Mets, if

458
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 2: they had clubhouse issues last year, are looking to make

459
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 2: the clubhouse feel more more together and less individual. Can

460
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: you do that with superstars like Lindor and Soto? Can

461
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: you do that with a whole cavalcade of new guys

462
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: coming into the clubhouse. That's tough because you're like, Oh,

463
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 2: the clubhouse vibe is gonna be so much better this year,

464
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 2: Like how do you know? How do you know it

465
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,479
Speaker 2: will be? Like Pete was a guy that had been

466
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: there for a long time. Did he not get along

467
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,679
Speaker 2: with Juan Soto? Did he not get along with Francisco?

468
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 2: Like we haven't heard that stuff. We haven't heard, you know,

469
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: who was complaining about what or why this was said.

470
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: I have a hard time believing that they had a

471
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: clubhouse issue, except for the fact that they didn't make

472
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So anytime you don't make the playoffs, just

473
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: like we talked about Team USA with WBC, Oh, they

474
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 2: looked listless, they looked lifeless, Like I have a hard

475
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 2: time believing it it's just you saw this team every

476
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 2: single day like fighting for their life, fighting for the

477
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: fact that they're trying to make it to the playoffs.

478
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: And maybe there was a little bit of a riff

479
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 2: because the pitchers weren't going.

480
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: Deep into the games.

481
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: So then the bullpen guys are like, oh, great, our starters,

482
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: we can't stay healthy because our starters aren't making aren't making,

483
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 2: you know, getting their innings. And the position players go out

484
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 2: and score three runs, and the starters give up four runs,

485
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 2: and then the bullpen starts giving up runs, and so

486
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 2: then the position players and the pitchers have a riff.

487
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 3: There's a riff because you're losing the year before you're winning.

488
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 2: You beat the Phillies and you move on in the

489
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: playoffs and you're like, everything's great. We love pumpkins, OMG,

490
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: Grimace all that stuff.

491
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: Injuries do suck, and it looks like it's happening to

492
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: Grayson Rodriguez again. Eric he's dealing with some arm sore,

493
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: as Kurt Suzuki calling it dead arm. Still a chance

494
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: he's ready for the season, which by the way, starts

495
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: in six days if he feels better in the coming days.

496
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: But they're monitoring him, but could be an IL candidate.

497
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: This is a guy that had so much fanfare coming

498
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: up and he just can't seem to stay healthy. That's

499
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: a bummer for Rodoricuez and obviously for the Angels.

500
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's worse to not know what the injury is,

501
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 2: like the dead arm. People go through dead arms. But

502
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: in this day and age, everybody, every pitch, every throw

503
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 2: is always on radar, on track, man on rap, sodo,

504
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 2: whatever it is, and so it's like.

505
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 3: Is everything okay?

506
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 2: He is only throwing ninety two in his bullpen andy

507
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: last week he was throwing ninety four. Your arm just

508
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 2: is never going to feel one hundred percent and so

509
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 2: arm soreness or dead arm. A lot of guys would

510
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: go through that and you're like, what is like my

511
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: arm just hurts for some reason. It's like we'll point

512
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 2: to it. It's like, well from my shoulder down to

513
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 2: like my wrist, like because you're throwing more and more consistency,

514
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 2: with more intent. So hopefully it's not something that he's

515
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 2: trying to compensate with because something else is hurting. But

516
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 2: take it easy if you only make twenty six starts

517
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 2: and Grayson Rodriguez season is a successful season, Like, we're

518
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 2: not looking for Grayson Roriguez to throw thirty two starts

519
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 2: two hundred innings, which when you look at him physically,

520
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 2: you go, yes, that's what he could do. But if

521
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: it means missing a start two or three, like, get

522
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: it to the point where he's one hundred percent when

523
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: he's out there.

524
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: For somebody eric that has not been blessed with height,

525
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: this next story kind of made me pause for a second.

526
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: So look at this. Joe Pompleano tweeted, We're going to

527
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: see a lot of height changes this year because with

528
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: the rollout of ABS automated balls and strikes, MLB is

529
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: now measuring each player's height down to the millimeter. Gavin

530
00:26:54,200 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: Stone of Gavin Stone, Gavin Luck's just absolutely shrunk. What

531
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: are we doing? Look at this the process, super strict guys,

532
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: no shoes, no hats, knees exposed back against the walls

533
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: like you're a prisoner. And to account for potential shrinkage,

534
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: I was in the pool throughout the day. MLB is

535
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: even requiring all its teams to take measurements between ten

536
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: am and twelve pm local time on their appointed day.

537
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: What are we doing?

538
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 2: Cratzy all right, we're not talking about shrinkage on the show. Okay,

539
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: So what we are going to talk about, though, is

540
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: the fact that women lie and men lie, and the

541
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 2: thing that they lie about is their height, and it's pointless.

542
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: For my entire career, I thought I was six foot

543
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: four and then I went on to this electronic it's

544
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 2: not a scale. It's a scale, but it's also it

545
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: measures your height. It is not like there's no cheating.

546
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 2: They had you set out all the parameters there, and

547
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: because of the lump on top of my head, I

548
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 2: was I was listed at six foot five inches and

549
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, this sucks. That means my strike zone

550
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: is gonna be bigger. Obviously I didn't stick around for

551
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 2: abs all the stuff in the minor leagues that ended

552
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: up happening. But yeah, you can't lie about your height, Like,

553
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 2: don't lie about your height. Nobody, nobody wants to, you know,

554
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 2: show up and be like, hey, I'm six foot two.

555
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: My name is Gavin Lux and you show up and

556
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: you're like, what you're not? I don't think it's on purpose.

557
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 2: Like look like we take this as we take this

558
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: as gospel that when we pull up on baseball reference

559
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: that Gavin Lux is six foot two, Like.

560
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 3: What does it matter? Like who put it in? Was

561
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 3: it an intern that put it in?

562
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 2: Is there, like is there an FBI agent that's making

563
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: sure that that's exactly what his height is. I mean

564
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 2: there's a guy. There was a guy in the Red

565
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: Sox organization. I think his name is Gonzalez. I was

566
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: just talking to their player development guy. He grew like

567
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 2: three or four inches and put them fifty pounds within

568
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: the last year and a half. Like there's a little

569
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 2: bit of a change. I think Christopher Sanchez, his height

570
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: had been listed at like six foot or six one.

571
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 3: I think now he's six'.

572
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: Six so it's a heck.

573
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 3: Spain that's.

574
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 2: THAT i mean from the time you get drafted at

575
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 2: seven sixty or signed at sixteen years, Old, yeah things.

576
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: Change but also it's like like you put down the

577
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: wrong birth, Birthplace like you're not going to go into

578
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 2: your own baseball reference and change. It it's not like

579
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: high school basketball where you go how tall are? You

580
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: six foot six foot? One the whole team everyone's over

581
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: six foot and you get there and you're.

582
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: Like that IS i wonder if any of these people

583
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: that happen to be on dating apps if the people

584
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: that are looking at the app dating apps are smart

585
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: enough to cross reference what it actually what their height actually.

586
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: Is when it comes to the, abs they're, like wait a,

587
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: minute you, said on Whatever bumbleton or whatever the hell they,

588
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: are you're six to, two but on this it says

589
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: you're five to. Seven wait lie about their. Height i'm

590
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: assuming you're saying women lie about what age and.

591
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: Weight not Even i'm not going to touch women weight at,

592
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 2: all but women wear makeup to cover up what they

593
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 2: actually look.

594
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: Like that's, listen, Listen, Linda, Listen. Linda we had this

595
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: conversation the other day about why that has to be.

596
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,719
Speaker 1: Done don't even get me started on the on the

597
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: on the people that are so mean about women that

598
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: age and guys just get. Distinguished Kevin garnett had to

599
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: be listed at six to eleven because seven footers Were

600
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: OH i, Know, now everybody in THE nba is like

601
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: seven to, one seven To it's. Bananas it is. Bananas

602
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: and everybody In Major League baseball throws a bazillion miles an.

603
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: Hour all, Right so Apparently Aaron boone said that he

604
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: is the least analytical manager in THE Al. EAST i

605
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: had to laugh at, This, eric BECAUSE i feel like

606
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: analytics has taken over The yankee, way and you would

607
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: know better THAN, i having spent time there in, pinstripes

608
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: and perhaps the team as an organization, is But Aaron

609
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: boone is saying that he. Isn't The yankees saw the

610
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: lowest percentage of pitches from right handed hitters versus left

611
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: handed pitchers among ALL mlb. Teams it wasn't just a

612
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: one year. Blip over the past three, Seasons, eric The

613
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: yankees had the worst right handed platoon. Advantage it is

614
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: a stat that Makes boone believe he is the least

615
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 1: analytical manager in The Al. East what say, You, WELL.

616
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: I Say Aaron boone should come on and we'll talk about.

617
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: This but obviously that's not his choice all the. Time

618
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 2: but ANYWAY i, WOULD i would lean to the side

619
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: of agreeing with. HIM i would lean to the side

620
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: of agreeing with him BECAUSE i really think he's going

621
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: out there to put the best players out. THERE i

622
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 2: think some of this platoon advantage stuff kind of his

623
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: roster construction, Too like you're not sitting there and, going, oh,

624
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: well you, know we have this this player for this.

625
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: Situation it's like some other teams. Do AND i would

626
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 2: say of The American League, EAST i would. AGREE i would,

627
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: AGREE i mean The rays and clearly the analytic quote unquote.

628
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: Darlings but to, me whoever takes advantage of the, platoons,

629
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 2: like is that really where the success?

630
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: Is?

631
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: Like what happens if you have a guy like LIKE

632
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 2: i hit better against right handed PICTURES i faced right handed.

633
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: PITCHERS i am a right handed hitting, Better so why

634
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: would you put me in when it's a left handed

635
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: hitting when a left handed throwing. Pitcher WHEN i don't

636
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: fade WHEN i don't hit, well only it's. Lefties SO

637
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: i think just the like general, ooh you need a

638
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 2: better platoon advantage doesn't always. Play AND i think that's

639
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: where The yankees find value in players because they sit

640
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 2: there and they, Go, okay this player might not necessarily

641
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 2: do as well against right or, right left on, left

642
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: but there's an advantage throughout the entire season for him

643
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 2: to be on the. Team AND i think that's they

644
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 2: had the best offense in baseball last year, Statistically so

645
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: what he's doing is. Correct BUT i think a lot

646
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 2: of the decisions pregame are very, analytical just like they

647
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 2: are with any team that wants to.

648
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 3: Win The phillies are very.

649
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: Analytical The rays want to win and they have a

650
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 2: lot of analytic. Decisions The dodgers have a lot of analytic.

651
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: Decisions you, know everybody. Does but in the, MOMENT i

652
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 2: think the best managers don't necessarily just lean on.

653
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 3: Analytics look At Dave.

654
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 2: Roberts Dave roberts made decisions to pitch his starting pitchers

655
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 2: when they're supposed to be a team that have just

656
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 2: a cavalcade of, relievers and they won The World series

657
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: the year before with, that and The yankees' that's what

658
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: the best teams. Do they let their manager make decisions

659
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 2: in game to win that particular.

660
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: Game, today we are checking out the most bet to

00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: what do you think about the names on this? List,

665
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: eric most bet to lead The Major League baseball made

666
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: to Lead Major League baseball IN.

667
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 2: RBIs i, mean the reason we're seeing these numbers is

668
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: plus three thousand For Vinnie, pasquentino a tremendous. NUMBER i,

669
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 2: mean the opportunity to get plus two thousand From Nick

670
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 2: kurtz is. Incredible like to, me there's there's a ton of.

671
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 2: Value and people will, say, well what About Aaron, judge

672
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,439
Speaker 2: what About Pete? Alonzo their numbers are. SMALLER i didn't

673
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 2: look them. UP i almost was able to get them looked.

674
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 2: Up but these are the these are the most bet

675
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: on guys because the value is. There AND i think

676
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: everybody on this list at for, SHOWHEY i think and

677
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 2: Maybe tucker just BECAUSE i think they're going to be

678
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 2: losing out together with them both being on the, list

679
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 2: there's other guys that drive a lot of runs. IN

680
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 2: i Think Nick kurtz And Vinnie pasquinino are the ABSOLUTE

681
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 2: rbi dudes on this team THAT i think they. Have

682
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 2: there's a ton of value with both of those, guys

683
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 2: AND i, think really the values In Nick kurtz AND

684
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 2: i might actually put that in here right, now because

685
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 2: they're playing half their games In sacramento and that place

686
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: the ball. Jumps you see ten to ten to thirteen

687
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:33,959
Speaker 2: games every single.

688
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 1: Night, yeah that's. Insane do you think the Past guentino

689
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: numbers have? Anything because he's coming right off of THE

690
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: wbc at plus three thousand OR i think that's just

691
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: all from what he's done so.

692
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 2: FAR i think if you look at what he's, DONE

693
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 2: i think if you look at what he's done in his,

694
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 2: career HE'S i, mean he should be a perennial one

695
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 2: HUNDRED rbi guy and he's. Been he's started out, slow you.

696
00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: KNOW i think another guy on this list could Be Alec.

697
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: Bohm he's another guy that had ninety seven RBIs and

698
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 2: back to back, season so there's value.

699
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: There, okay anything can happen in the, tournament but with

700
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,880

715
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: BAD i can't. SEE i thought transition lenses would be

716
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: a nice, touch but it turns out not so. Much

717
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: they're actually sunglasses because it's light, out but later in

718
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 1: the day they get let's. Bright it's not the most,

719
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: normal but they served me well so. FAR i guess

720
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: do The marlins not have an optometrast that that can

721
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,080

00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 2: it BECAUSE i remember in school anybody that had transition.

Speaker 2: best because the people would come INTO i have glasses.

729
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,400

731
