1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,840
Speaker 1: You know, I think if they're able to stay really healthy,

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: that will at the very least put them in position

3
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: to maybe compute this season or be in better position

4
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: than they were last year. But when it comes to

5
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: that depth, that's where the biggest question mark is.

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: Here we go, Sam Blumba joining us right now.

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 3: I never forgot what Sam, because we had to talk

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 3: the other day about Bobby Jenks and I've I didn't.

9
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,159
Speaker 4: I forgot what Sam looked like.

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 5: So, oh good, is how's it going?

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 3: Hey?

12
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: What's up?

13
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: Heanks?

14
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 6: Damn, let's talk, angels. Are you buying this? What do

15
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 6: you think so far? What's going right?

16
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: It's tough because, like I think, I've seen this before

17
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: to some extent. I mean, I look back to twenty

18
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,959
Speaker 1: twenty two, they started twenty seven to seventeen. Even last

19
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: year they were I think, you know, pretty good in

20
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks. So I think there are

21
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: elements of this that are sustainable. Like, you know, I

22
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: think some of the growth from the younger players is legitimate.

23
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: Logan o Hoppy Karen Paris. What he's doing and I'm

24
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: sure you guys will ask about him is absurd, you know.

25
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: So I think that that improved and obviously Paris probably

26
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: won't hit four hundred. But you know, if there's parts

27
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: of this team that I think are real, I like

28
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: Jose Soriano is pitching right now, Jack o'hanowitz, Yusa Kikuchi, Mean,

29
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: these guys look like they can maybe be the anchors

30
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: in a rotation.

31
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 5: But again, you know, it's it's so early.

32
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: I think that there's elements of the Angels organization and

33
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: the way they have operated that that haven't necessarily changed,

34
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: and you know, those are the reasons why they've not.

35
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 5: Really succeeded over the years.

36
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: So you know, when you get to the point where

37
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: you know you need to reach into the depths of

38
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: your organization when you you know, when you sustain a

39
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: losing streak, like, how do you respond to that?

40
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 5: I think there are there are parts of this that,

41
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 5: you know, the jury.

42
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Is still very much out ten to eleven games into

43
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: the season, but it's it's optimistic I think, based on

44
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: maybe what the expectations were just a couple of weeks ago.

45
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 7: But didn't Perim and Asian come on our show and say, oh,

46
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 7: we're building this team for more slug What do they

47
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 7: have in the first week and a half two weeks

48
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 7: of the season more slug. So isn't this a perfection

49
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 7: of what Paramanagian was was trying to build that they

50
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 7: didn't have last year.

51
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely think the first like eleven games has

52
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: been could not have drawn up any better for them,

53
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, they they and it's not just slug. I mean,

54
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone thought Kiren Parris put a five

55
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: home runs and in you know what like eight games.

56
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean I think the idea was when

57
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 1: you when they brought in Horace Hilaire, I mean, you'd

58
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: have like a legitimate middle of the order bat. It's

59
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: also interesting that Mike Traut's like hitting what one seventy

60
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: eighty right now and they're still doing this, so if

61
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: he ever gets hot, you know, when he gets hot,

62
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: like that will be you know, an added boost. Same

63
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: same as getting Zach nettoback, which I think they were

64
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: hoping to have happened at the end of the month.

65
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: So you know, there's a reinforcements potentially even coming along.

66
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean this is kind of exactly as

67
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: they drew it up. I just want to see it

68
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: over a longer period of time. But this is, like

69
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: I said, it's an optimistic outlook, you know, a week

70
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: and a half in.

71
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 4: Sam, I'm ass this because they're playing in Steinbrennerfield. Is

72
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 4: this the product of Steinbrenner Field?

73
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 3: Because the I mean Ward hit a home run to

74
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 3: right field today that probably wasn't a homer anywhere except

75
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: for Yankee Stadium and steinbinner Field. All their home runs

76
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: seem to be going to right field. We need to

77
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: wait because the last four games they've hit a ton

78
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 3: of home run or three games in four counting today

79
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: they've hit a ton of home runs in Steinberfield. Do

80
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 3: we need to wait until they get back to Annaeim

81
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: when the green layer comes in and they're trying to

82
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: hit you know, the balls off the rocks out there

83
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: and left center and see what if this team really

84
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: has this power? Or is this a product of where

85
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: they played and who they played?

86
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 8: Well?

87
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 5: Probably a little.

88
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean I think the game, the home runs this

89
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: week have been I mean, I think that ballpark is

90
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: going to be ridiculous all summer. I mean, just from

91
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: watching the last three days, it's you know, everything, especially

92
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: at the right field. I think there were like six

93
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: home runs yesterday if I'm not mistaken, Like all went

94
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: to right field and two of them were like less

95
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: than three hundred and thirty feet, So yeah, that's gonna

96
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: be an interesting ballpark. I think big picture that that's

97
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: not necessarily you know, they were hitting home runs over

98
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: the weekend against Cleveland, you know, quite in a lot

99
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: of in high numbers. So are they gonna be the

100
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: best power team ever?

101
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know.

102
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think at the end of the day,

103
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: we're talking about such a small sample size that it's

104
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: it's hard to know.

105
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 8: Exactly what what you get.

106
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the Angels I think have a negative run

107
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: differential on the season, so it's you know, there's certain

108
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: things that look really good.

109
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 8: There are certain things you've got to wait to see.

110
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: But as far as the home runs, I do think

111
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: the lineup has more pop. But yeah, playing in starnbenter

112
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: Field for every team this year is going to be

113
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: a boost. That's that's my takeaway from watching from just

114
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: a few days, especially when when it gets to the

115
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: summer months and you know, you're you're talking about a

116
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: lot of humidity and the ball traveling maybe more than

117
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: a would a Yankee stadium under the same dimensions.

118
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 7: What about that depth? You said the depth, and we

119
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 7: know all their depth is in the big leagues. Do

120
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 7: they have anybody when those injuries start to come up?

121
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 7: Because they have a draft pick from last year. Ryan

122
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 7: Johnson's in the big leagues was drafted last year. So

123
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 7: where's that depth gonna come from?

124
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be the biggest question because, you know,

125
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: I mean the last couple of years, the Angels have

126
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: used sixty six players each of the you know, the

127
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: last two seasons. You know this is that that's where

128
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: it always kind of falls apart for them, and so,

129
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, I think if they're able to stay really healthy,

130
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: that will at the very least put them in position

131
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: to maybe compete this season or be in better position

132
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: than they were last year. But when it comes to

133
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: that depth, that's where the biggest question mark is. Today

134
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: they called up J. D. Davis because Jan Moncatta went

135
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: on the il. You know, not the Moncatta was lighting

136
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: the world on fire. But you know, now you're now

137
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: you're kind of testing that this is you know, maybe

138
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: that first guy, you know, first guy up at least

139
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: of the position player corps, and you got to see

140
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: what you have.

141
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 8: I mean J. D.

142
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: Davis really wasn't a very good big league player last year,

143
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: really wasn't very good in spring. So you know, is

144
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: is he going to come in and you know, be

145
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: maybe what he was two or three years ago, or

146
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: is he going to be you know, the player that

147
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: maybe gotten used to seeing more recently. So it's I

148
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: think those are the That's that's what it is. I mean,

149
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: like in the minor leagues, they don't I don't think

150
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: they really have tons of options, tons of big lea

151
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: gretty options, especially in the outfield.

152
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 5: That's going to be an issue.

153
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: You know, so they got to keep guys healthy and uh,

154
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: if they're able to do that, I think they'll be

155
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: in position to at least compete. But you know, if

156
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: they don't, I would be hard pressed to see it

157
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: really paying off because it's unless you got a bunch

158
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: of Kien paris Is who just kind of come out

159
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: of nowhere to be the best player in baseball. Like

160
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be, It's gonna be tough.

161
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: By the way, I can't believe Moncado's on the al

162
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 3: No way. I mean, as a White Sox fan, I

163
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: never saw that one coming. Yeah, just saying Tim Anderson's.

164
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: Doing all right. Defensively. Defensively, he's doing all right. Not

165
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: on offense, but defensively, he's doing fine.

166
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: AJ.

167
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 6: It is time for people to get some new clubs,

168
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 6: and to do that they need to go to their

169
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 6: local PXG for a fitting, right.

170
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: No doubt.

171
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: I was there today, I've been there before. Last time

172
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: I was there, they gave me this killer gap edge.

173
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 3: Look at that sweet spot, Scott, it is worn out.

174
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: That is right in the sweet spot right there. So

175
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 3: I went and got it. New clubs today, new irons,

176
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: but more importantly, I got this bad boy. I got

177
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 3: me a new putter. This is my old putter. It's

178
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 3: on order. Yes, that's my putter cover PXG Mustang putter.

179
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: Now I'm going to the Allen putter. They talked me

180
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: into it because I was draining some putts today. Bob,

181
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: the guy who helped me out. He helped me with

182
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: my irons. You got them teed up perfectly. But then

183
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 3: we went to the putt and green. I was draining

184
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 3: them putts because that's the most important part of golf.

185
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: PCHG fittings are fun. Schedule.

193
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 4: You mentioned Kyron Paris. Did anybody see this coming?

194
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: I mean, Logan, Ohabby, Okay, I can understand because he's

195
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 3: had a little bit of a track record, he had

196
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 3: some success, but Paris really hasn't. And then all of

197
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: a sudden, he seems like every time he steps into

198
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: the plate, he's a home run threat. Did anybody in

199
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: the Angels organization see this coming?

200
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 5: I don't.

201
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 8: I mean listen. I mean, he's been a prospect.

202
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: He's been in the big leagues a couple of times,

203
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: but like last year at Double A he had ninety one.

204
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: I think like he was really just and that's it's

205
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: a credit to him because I think he recognized, you know,

206
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: I can maybe be a guy that comes up and

207
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: down and plays some big league games every year, but

208
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: am I going to be a legit him a big

209
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: leaguer with the way that I go about things now.

210
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: And I think he realized that the answer to that

211
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: was no, and so he went and you know, sought out.

212
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: You know, Aaron Judge's hitting coach was an interesting guy

213
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: if you look him up on on Twitter. But he yeah,

214
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he basically revamped his entire approach and it's

215
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: it paid off for him, like immediately. And I think

216
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: he started seeing that in spring training. I mean, he

217
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: was not expected to make the big league roster. They

218
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: cut Mickey Moniac to get him on the big league roster,

219
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: and then even when the season started, he was not

220
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: an everyday player.

221
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 8: You know.

222
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: Ron Washington was like booed heavily before the season opener

223
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: at like a you know kind of like they do

224
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: a red carpet event and he was getting interviewed and

225
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: they asked if he was if Karen Parris is in

226
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: the lineup? Washed the no, and he got booed. And

227
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: it's just like the fans are picking up on this.

228
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: I think the organization is slowly starting to realize, Okay,

229
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: we got to play this guy like every single game.

230
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: He's just worked his way into this position. So I

231
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: to answer your question, No, I don't think anybody really

232
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: saw this coming, but they're certainly willing to capitalize on it.

233
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: Now, Okay, let's go to another great story.

234
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 3: And I'd love to hear stories like that where guys

235
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: go to work, make changes and become become what they

236
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 3: can become.

237
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 4: It's it's awesome. No hard work pays off.

238
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 3: Hard working guy, Kenley Jansen, I said yesterday he's a

239
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer. Do you think you and your writer

240
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 3: friends will vote him into.

241
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 4: The Hall of Fame?

242
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: Man? You know, I've I don't have a vote from

243
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: their I guess my vote probably will come up right

244
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: when Janson's eligible. I mean, although he could still be

245
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: pitching for a couple of years, I know he's chasing

246
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: five hundred. Yeah, I mean it's tough to answer that

247
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: without like really being someone that studies, you know, all

248
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: the criteria. But I mean if he's like, you know,

249
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: gonna finish third all time and career saves, I mean

250
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: that's yeah, I don't see why.

251
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 8: To me, it seems like a showin'.

252
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: But again, I haven't really studied all the advanced numbers

253
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: behind it. And you know, maybe that's something I'll get

254
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: to do in five years, but or six years or

255
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: whatever long it is.

256
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 8: But yeah, what he's.

257
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: Doing, and I think it's cool that he's doing it

258
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: back in southern California. You know, he's he seems to

259
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: really be, you know, vibing with this team. And you know,

260
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: the way he got his save, his forageer fiftieth the

261
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: other night with stranding a runner at third with zero

262
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: outs in a one run game, I think was really cool.

263
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: And you know, it's just it's been a really good

264
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: start for him and and you know, we'll see if

265
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: he's able to get if he's able to get five

266
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: hundred this year, they will have had a very good season.

267
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: If he's fifty more saves this year, the Angels have

268
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: had an incredible zeon.

269
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, seriously.

270
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: We're talking we're talking about Yeah.

271
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: We're talking about definitely a playoff team, I don't know,

272
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: the world serious team.

273
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 4: Definitely, we'll get to see Mike Tron the playoffs. Yeah,

274
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 4: it was good move. It was good move.

275
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: In the off season.

276
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 3: I questioned it too, because I didn't know what they're

277
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: gonna do with Ben Joyce. But Ben Joyce has been

278
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: a weapon for him in in you know, the seventh

279
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: in the eight to get to Kenley.

280
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: So, yeah, is he okay? By the way, a few

281
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 2: ticks down the other day?

282
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just not in Tampa to Houston tomorrow,

283
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: but from what I've read from reporters there, Blue Jeff

284
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: Fletcher said that it wasn't it wasn't a serious injury

285
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: or anything.

286
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 8: He just wasn't hitting his spots.

287
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean again, his villa was down, So you know,

288
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: that's that would be concerning to me, to be honest

289
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: with you. But uh, you know, we'll see the next

290
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: time he comes out and how that looks. And you know,

291
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 1: with Ben Joy's big picture, you know, he's talked so

292
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: much about wanting to throw like one hundred and seven

293
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: hundred and eight, like it's legitimate.

294
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 8: Goal for him to to reach those Velo numbers.

295
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: And my my thing, and I'm not a scientist, an expert,

296
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: a pitching guy, but like that just seems like a

297
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: silly kind of He's he's so effective at one on one, one,

298
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: o two, but really with the sinker, that's the most

299
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: effective pitch for him. I don't, you know, I don't

300
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily see the value in him, like really,

301
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, rearing back and trying to throw one oh seven,

302
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 1: especially with his injury history. So you know, if he

303
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: can kind of stay in that one oh one range,

304
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: which is really where he kind of sits, to be

305
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: honest with you, then that's a that's quite good for him.

306
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 6: Imagine sitting down with Ben Joyce like, Hey, we're just

307
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 6: gonna need you to stay around that one oh one range.

308
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: Let's not push.

309
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you told me, I'd be like, that's a

310
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 6: fake movie.

311
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 2: Okay.

312
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 3: Uh.

313
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 6: Next up, I wanted to ask you about Logan o'

314
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 6: hoppy off to a hot start with the Bat and

315
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 6: he comes on the show pretty frequently. Something that stood

316
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 6: out was a conversation he said he had with Travis Darnaut,

317
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 6: who told him that he should be himself more and

318
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 6: just have fun. Have you seen that from him? You know,

319
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 6: we tried to get into it more with him and

320
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 6: he kind of gave us a TBD, like, let me

321
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 6: see how I let my emotions out a little bit differently.

322
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 6: But it was it was about trying to not be

323
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 6: a certain way because everyone else wants you to be,

324
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 6: you know, buttoned up and serious.

325
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: Like if you're goofy, be goofy. If you're super emotional,

326
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: be super emotional.

327
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 6: Have you seen any of that from him, and if not,

328
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 6: at least any impact that Travis is making there.

329
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's I think that's really well said,

330
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: because you know, with with Logan, like you know, being

331
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: around that team last year when they would lose, it

332
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: was something that he took incredibly personally. And I think

333
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: that you know, sometimes you know, you see guys upset

334
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: after losses and it feels like, you know, that's just

335
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: kind of where you have to be because you lost.

336
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: I think with Logan it was something that really really

337
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: like it wasn't an act. It was like very legitimately

338
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: tough for him to kind of deal with a lot

339
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: of the failures of last season, not just with that team,

340
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 1: but he really struggled himself down the stretch in the

341
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: last two months, just wasn't wasn't a very good hitter.

342
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: And so I think, what what we've seen so far

343
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: this year, and I'll be curious to see kind of

344
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: how he responds to a slump and how he responds

345
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: to a losing streak in these things when there is adversity.

346
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: But I think to your point, like he's someone that

347
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: you know, he's talked about being very proactive about, you know,

348
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: working on himself being a little more neutral even when

349
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: they win, you know, even when things are good to

350
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: not like let that that emotion be too high or

351
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: too low. And you know, it sounds cliche, but I

352
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: do think there's a legitimate element to it, especially with him,

353
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: and especially kind of what I've seen from him last

354
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: year and the way he kind of handled that stuff

355
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: and I wrote all story about that, so you know,

356
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: he he's I think I think there's a lot of

357
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: maturity there. He's always been, you know, someone that came

358
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: across to me is incredibly mature. But you know, they're

359
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: looking at him to be the leader, you know, when

360
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: things when they lose. You know, he's the guy you

361
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: go to when they when they win, He's the guy

362
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: you go to in the in the clubhouse. I'm talking

363
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: about the beat writers. So you know, he's kind of

364
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: taken on that team leader role. And I think the

365
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: older he gets, and uh, you know that's going to

366
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: be something he does even more. And I honestly think

367
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 1: the angel should should look into, you know, an extension

368
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: for him. They haven't done that with any of the

369
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: young players, and you know, you're seeing it this year,

370
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: the way that the season started, like, there's a value

371
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: in keeping some of these guys long term. Other teams

372
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: are doing that, and I don't think the Angels will

373
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: be in a position to afford guys like Ohapi and

374
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: Netto or Sorryana when they hit free agency, if you know,

375
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: they don't start, you know, making that proactive effort to

376
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: you know, get a one or two extra years out

377
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: of you know. Maybe it's some sort of early extension.

378
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: I love it.

379
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 7: I love it.

380
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: I love Logan, the former catcher. Guess what.

381
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: Guess Who's always the guy who stands there and answers

382
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 3: the question, usually the catcher. So because you have you

383
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 3: see everything, and everyone will usually your smartest and they

384
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: want to know what you have to say. So I

385
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 3: love that about Logan. I love he's taking the next step.

386
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 4: In his career.

387
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 3: Before I let you go, Sam, I mentioned that we

388
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 3: had talked on the phone. I don't know, have you

389
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: has the article that we talked about. Has that come

390
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: out yet?

391
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 8: It has not, not till not till ower the next one,

392
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 8: But okay.

393
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: So I don't want to dig too much into your story,

394
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 3: but we had a conversation about a former teammate of mine.

395
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 7: I lost.

396
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: We lost Octavio Dotel recently. He was a former teammate

397
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: of mine. We have another teammate of mine who was

398
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 3: an Angels prospect, Bobby Jenks, who's battle and the cancer

399
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: right now. Any updates on the story, I know I've

400
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 3: you know, I've talked about a little bit on hearing

401
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: people out there.

402
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 4: I don't know how many know the story.

403
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: I don't want to ruin your story, but you know,

404
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 3: we talked to he asked me for Bobby Janks stories

405
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: and and and what was going on and what I

406
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: thought of Bobby as a person. So I don't know, Sam,

407
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 3: if you can get into it or not.

408
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I would love for people to read the

409
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: story when it comes out next week. But you know,

410
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: I would say that it's you know, I talked to

411
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: him on the phone. You know, it's I think, what

412
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: with the challenge is so great for his family right now,

413
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's it's hard to like really

414
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: describe it when I'm just sitting here talking about about

415
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: him and about it, but I appreciated that he you know,

416
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: he gave me this time and he's he's you know,

417
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: he's dealing with a really, really tough diagnosis. But one

418
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: of the reasons I asked to talk to him, and

419
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: the reason I wanted to do the story is, you know,

420
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: I read some of his comments that he gives to

421
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: Scott Murkan a couple of months ago about just you know,

422
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: trying to stay positive through this, and it came through

423
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: in the way that he talked about it and his

424
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: belief I believe is genuine that he will battle this

425
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: and you know, I know he's very, very motivated to

426
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: get back to Chicago in early July when you guys

427
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: have your twenty year reunion. I think that's you know,

428
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: that's something that he made very clear to his doctors

429
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: from my understanding, and it's something that I think he's

430
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: he's incredibly incredibly motivated by.

431
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 5: So, you know, you know, there's there's.

432
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: Science, there's medicine, there's a lot of reasons that maybe

433
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: we'll prevent him from being able to do it, and

434
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: I think we can all just hope and pray that

435
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's well enough and he's healthy enough

436
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: to be able to have that moment, because it would

437
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: be special, you know, not just for you and your teammates,

438
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: not just for Bobby, but also for just like the

439
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of white Sox fans that really really

440
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: care about him. And that's something I've learned a lot

441
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: by reporting the story too, So and I appreciate your

442
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: time talking with me about it, and you know, hope

443
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: everyone reads it when it comes out next week.

444
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 3: I'll definitely read it. But I just want to say

445
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 3: thank you for doing that and bringing a light. And

446
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 3: then also, I mean, the thing about Bobby is that

447
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 3: if people that remember him, he was like a larger

448
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 3: than life figure. So then to have him be the

449
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 3: one that has going through this, it seems like it's

450
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 3: not real, right because he was such a big guy.

451
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 3: You know, he's like three hundred pounds and just this

452
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 3: barrel chest to do that would walk out there with

453
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 3: the long go.

454
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 4: Tea and the whole deal.

455
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: That's why I think I think for a lot of people,

456
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 3: it's hard for them to look at.

457
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 4: And say, man, how does Bobby Jenks be the one

458
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 4: that gets this? You know?

459
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 3: And so to hear that he's being so positive and

460
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 3: being handling it as well as you could, because I

461
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 3: don't know how I would personally handle it. If a

462
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 3: doctor Ken to me and said, yeah, you have the

463
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: cancer and it's not a great diagnosis, so how do

464
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 3: you go? But I mean, I know, talking to him,

465
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 3: texting with him, he's very positive about it.

466
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 4: We'll see.

467
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 3: So prayers to Bobby obviously, and obviously I'll read your

468
