1
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: What's up?

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,479
Speaker 2: Everybody? Welcome into another edition of Crush City Territory. My

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: name is chandeler Room, along with Tyler Stafford and fresh

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: from Las Vegas Josh Reddick. Josh, did you survive Vegas?

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 2: And did you come back with your dignity intact?

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 3: I did, but I survived, and I started my dignity.

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 1: Played a lot of great golf, didn't lose too much,

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: but lost it pretty pretty good because I think I

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: ran into every hot dealer they had there. I mean

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: I was spinning out eighteens, they were spitting out five

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: and six card twenties. You know, I flip over a twenty,

12
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: they get a black jack, just you know, one of

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: those trips that just couldn't it could never go your way.

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: But yeah, I survived. WrestleMania was awesome, and yeah, so

15
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm here. I'm not hurting anymore, So I'm good.

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not a wrestling person. Who did Who

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: won WrestleMania? Is there like a victor?

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 3: Is there?

19
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: Like?

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: How did that go offul WrestleMania? No, so, everybody, There's

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: all kinds of matches, but the one that you probably know,

22
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: Sena John Cena won his seventeenth world title, which passed

23
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: Rick Flair.

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: For the most in wrestling history.

25
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: So he passed the Nature Boy in the main event

26
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: of Night two at WrestleMania, So pretty historic moment to

27
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: be a part of.

28
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 4: Does that make him like your arch nemesis now that

29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: he took it from Ric Flair?

30
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,479
Speaker 3: No, which is funny though.

31
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sure you saw my Instagram posts, but I

32
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: did dress up as Rick Flair to seal the deal and.

33
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: Help out the moment.

34
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: But it was awesome if you're any kind of follower,

35
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: and to get my first WrestleMania under my belt.

36
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: Especially being in Vegas. Just taste his icing on the cake.

37
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: So it was fun to kind of go out there

38
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: and be the wrestling fan that I don't get to

39
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: be hardly ever.

40
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: I think if you every time Josh, I have to

41
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: drive to mo On Bellevue because there are two giant

42
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 4: like Vape City billboards that have Rick Flair on them,

43
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 4: and it always just cracks me up. It doesn't say anything,

44
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: it's literally just like Vape City. We have a lot

45
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 4: of locations. Here's a picture of Rick Flair, and I

46
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 4: just love that advertising idea.

47
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, all right, there you go.

48
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you're gonna get some head turns just by

49
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: looking at Rick Flair. So advertising word.

50
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: If you haven't looked at Josh's Instagram, I highly recommend

51
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: you do. How many of those robes do you own?

52
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: Uh?

53
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: So I have so the red one, the golden was

54
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: just like a cheap Amazon one that I got for

55
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: my buddy. But I have, like you know they did,

56
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: they did a giveaway in my Houston Astros time with

57
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: the Rogue giveaway. So I have like two of those,

58
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: one with my name on it for that. The red

59
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: one doesn't have my name on it, but I have

60
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: the same person who made Rick Flair's robes that works

61
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: for Wwe made the robes for my wife and I

62
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: on our wedding. If you ever saw those pictures there,

63
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: they're red with the you know, the sparkles on it.

64
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: So I've got that one tucked away very wrapped.

65
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: Up very for keepsafe because it was not a cheap one.

66
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: So I'd probably say around five or six total.

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: It's it's got to be hard for you to pick

68
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: which one you want to wear U on a on

69
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: a daily when when when the when these events come up,

70
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: it's got to be hard for you to pick those.

71
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: Well, that was the first time I actually met full

72
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: costume at a wrestling event, so that one was pretty easy.

73
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: The fun part was getting my buddy convinced to wear his.

74
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: But the wig was great. The sunglasses are great. The

75
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: best part was, you know, you kind of blend in.

76
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: Nobody can know who you are, and not that anybody would,

77
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: but nobody knows where you're looking because you.

78
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: Have sunglasses on and every the best prose.

79
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: Every time we like walked out, we would go into

80
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: the VIP club because you know, I know, triple h

81
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: my bad little we'd go get a refilled. Every time

82
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: we'd walk out, we would just woo with everybody. Everybody

83
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: was just wooing at us, so we'd be strutting and

84
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: profiling and wooing all the way back to our seat.

85
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: So it's kind of like a wrestler's intro. Every time

86
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: we would go get a refill.

87
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: This definitely sounds like your nirvana and I'm I'm very

88
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: happy that you got to experience this while you were

89
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: in Vegas.

90
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

91
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: The the Astros swept the Toronto Blue Jays, who looked

92
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: pretty terrible. My god, the Blue Jays we'll get to

93
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: I mean, we're not this is not a Blue Jays podcast.

94
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: We won't get to them. But they went nine for

95
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: ninety in three games against Astros pitching. The Astros played

96
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: unquestionably their six best games of the year on this

97
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: homestand going five and one against the Padres and the

98
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: Blue Jays. We'll talk a little bit since it's passed

99
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: so much, we're not going to talk too much about

100
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: the games. We'll talk about something that happened before the

101
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: first game against the Blue Jays, and that was Cam

102
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: Smith taking fly balls in center field. It was hilarious.

103
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: So I didn't actually see this happen, but was told

104
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 2: that it was something that they're looking at. So I

105
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: went to interview Cam the next day and Josh, you'll

106
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: get a kick out of this. I was, you know,

107
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: I was asking, you know, this was all on the record,

108
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: so I was asking, you know, how how is transition

109
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 2: to the outfields going, how he feels out there and everything.

110
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: In the last question of the interview, go hey, have

111
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: they started hitting you balls in center field? And he goes, yeah,

112
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: you know they He told me to go out there

113
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: yesterday and catch fly balls in center with Chaz. He goes,

114
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was intentional or not. I

115
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: don't know if that was an accident. Go Cam. This

116
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: is the big leagues, man. They don't do anything on

117
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: accident here. So Cam's He's still he's still very new

118
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 2: to this whole situation. But as I wrote in The

119
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 2: Athletic on Tuesday, look, this is not something that they

120
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: are talking about he's going to be the full time centerfielder.

121
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 2: This is still a situation that is very fluid. This

122
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: is something he could never log an inning in centerfield.

123
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 2: Who knows. They just want to have him ready, and

124
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: they want to have him as an option in center

125
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: field as they look at ways to kind of raise

126
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: the floor of a lineup that is pretty clearly at

127
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: least one bat short, probably two. Josh, as you've watched

128
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: Cam Smith in right field, he looks I mean Dave

129
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: Clark told me for that story I just talked about

130
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: that he looks like he's been in right field for

131
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: his whole career. Think the actual the actual phrase was

132
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: his whole freaking career. As Clark he said PG post

133
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: does he does he look as natural to you as

134
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: he does to maybe us who haven't played the position,

135
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: and and how do you think if they need him,

136
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: how do you think he could translate to center field.

137
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: I think he looks surprisingly better than I think anybody

138
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: expected being out there. He's you know, I think the

139
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: athlete part of him just kind of takes over, which

140
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: is all you need to be as an outfielder. Just

141
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: have a little athleticism and take your right route and

142
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 1: you've got everything pretty much covered. So his route running

143
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: obviously could probably get better, which is something you would

144
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: expect from.

145
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: Not being out there for his whole career.

146
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: But for the most part, I'm giving him an a

147
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: plus on everything he's doing out there.

148
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 3: We've seen the arm. He's got really decent accuracy for.

149
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: A guy who's never been you know, that long motion,

150
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: short arm kind of throw the ball a long way.

151
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 3: So everything he's doing is living up to more than

152
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: what we all expected.

153
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: As for center field, I think it's it's gonna be

154
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: easier for him to learn to make that bump over.

155
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean, center fielder, for any natural outfielder is going

156
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: to be like, well, I'd rather play center because the

157
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: ball's gonna play true. You're not gonna get top spin

158
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: balls out there all you're gonna do is worry about

159
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: ball going one way, ball going the other way.

160
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 3: And like I said, you can.

161
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: React a lot easier and a lot better off the

162
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: bat as well, because everything's right there in front of you.

163
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: As opposed to the corner.

164
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: You're kind of playing with a little bit of movement,

165
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: but you get to see everything more natural. So I

166
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: think center field could be a definite option for him

167
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: if he keeps it up.

168
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that felt like a Cam Smith's story, but

169
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 4: it also feels like a Zach Dezenzo story. It was

170
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 4: a big series for me and my fellow designerates out

171
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 4: there who had a great series. I mean, despite sitting

172
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 4: for a month, it seems he just wakes up and

173
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 4: comes out and is just ripping balls. And so, I mean,

174
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 4: it is so funny. We spent the whole offseason going like,

175
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 4: are the Astros even going to be able to field

176
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 4: a team of outfielders? And now we're watching them goe like, well,

177
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 4: what do we do with all of these outfielders.

178
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 3: Infielders?

179
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 4: But yeah, technically, yes, all I'm hearing Josh is that

180
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: the outfield is a fake position and anybody can do it.

181
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: I mean, major league baseball is making outfield turn like

182
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: into a joke, like anybody can just be put a

183
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: glove on and go out there. But in a war,

184
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: in a world where a hitting is irrelevant anymore, and

185
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: you can just hit homers and strike out, then I guess.

186
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 3: We can just we can put anybody out there.

187
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: Tyler, You're right that this is something that they They

188
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 2: have been actively looking for ways to get Zach Dezenzo

189
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: more involved. And I mean, he's not going to play

190
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: first base over Christian Walker, no matter how much you

191
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: guys clamor for it. Christian Walker is making sixty million dollars.

192
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: They're going to give him a very long runway, and

193
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 2: he's looking better as we'll get to him a little bit.

194
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: He's not going to play third base over Estoc Paratus.

195
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: He's not going to play shortstop over Jeremy Panya. There

196
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: has been some talk, not talk, there's been some fans

197
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: scuttle but is could they hit Zach Desenzo ground balls

198
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 2: at second base? Guys? The reason Jose Al Tuv is

199
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: not playing second base anymore is because they want their

200
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: defensive infield to be better, breaking in another inexperienced guy there.

201
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: I just that runs counter to everything that they did

202
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: this winter. He's not going to play well. It's tough

203
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: for Zach Desenza to play left field over both Altuve

204
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: and Jordan Alvarez. This is really the only place they

205
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 2: can get him in is in right field, and whether

206
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: that's part of a time share with Cam Smith or

207
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: whether that's trying to get them in there together. And

208
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 2: I think another thing that this kind of signals is,

209
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: you know, maybe they don't think this start from Jake

210
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: Myers is real. And I don't mean the Denner great

211
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 2: Jake Myers, who's been very good. I mean he's been

212
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: one of the few kind of bright spots of this

213
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: team offensively early. But I mean this is a guy

214
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: with a career eighty seven ops plus. We saw this

215
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: fast start last year from him of fell off in

216
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: the in the second half. And Josh, it's pretty obvious

217
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: that the upside offensively that both Cam Smith and Zach

218
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: Dezenzo give you really kind of outweighs what Jake Myers

219
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: can give you offensively. But I think there's also a

220
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: debate to be had. Jake Myers is one of the best,

221
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: if not the best, defensive center fielders in baseball. Like,

222
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you kind of size up this

223
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 2: debate or this you know kind of that that Joe

224
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: A Spot and his coaching staff are going to have.

225
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: If Cam Smith acquits himself and shows that he can

226
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 2: be an option in center field.

227
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: I believe it becomes a time share for kind of

228
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: all three of them. You kind of play your matchups.

229
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you definitely are gonna want cam Smith in

230
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: the lineup every day at this point. I would I

231
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: would hope and think, I see you over there, Tyler

232
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: getting getting excited.

233
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: Or the train.

234
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 3: I've been on the train.

235
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: I've been on the train earlier myself, but I don't

236
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: I don't brag about it, but yeah, I think, you know.

237
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 4: What, don't take it from me.

238
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: With the vendos swinging it the way he's swinging it,

239
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: you got you got to get him in there. And

240
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, when tough Pictures can get in there and

241
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: can give you his mismatch, then you can get Jake

242
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: Myers in there and kind of keep him hotter and

243
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: maybe kind of restrict him from that cool off zone and.

244
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: Kind of keep him in a confident frame of mind.

245
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: And then obviously you're gonna want to bump him into

246
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: the outfield in that later inning, close game, and you

247
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: put Cam.

248
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 3: Back over the right.

249
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: Maybe that's where you dropped his Zenzo out of there,

250
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: or even you know, if we're talking about taking out

251
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: two of a out of a close game, if he's

252
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: not anywhere near up to bat, then you can kind.

253
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: Of move him all around.

254
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: But I think right now you just kind of figure

255
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: out a power triangle, so to speak, and you pick

256
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: your two hottest and two best. We have too many

257
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: analytics to freaking worry about that now, anyway, So just

258
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: analyze it up and throw him in the computer. Whatever

259
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: spits out, that's what we put on the lineup sheet anyway,

260
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: ain't it.

261
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 2: That's that's kind of how it's been going. Yeah, yeah,

262
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: uh look, I think I think this does turn into

263
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 2: something you just said. And I want to make clear

264
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: that this is so early, like Cam's Smith. They're not

265
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: going to run Cam Smith out in center field a

266
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: major league game anytime soon. I think their goal is

267
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: to have him as an option or someone that they

268
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 2: could consider doing this with when that they start a

269
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 2: stretch of seventeen consecutive games on May ninth. It goes

270
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: May ninth to May twenty fifth. I think by then

271
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 2: they want to have an idea of if this could work,

272
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: because it's at that point when you play seventeen in

273
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 2: a row, it becomes you got to get thirty. He'll

274
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: be thirty five by then. You gotta get thirty five

275
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: year old jose L two V from DH days. You

276
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 2: got to you gotta protect some guys, and just some

277
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 2: of the younger guys too, Like you don't want to

278
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: play them seventeen, and they're like, you need some options,

279
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 2: you need some flexibility, you need some ability to maneuver

280
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: your infield, your outfield. Excuse me, And I think you

281
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: know that's when they want to see if this is

282
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: a real thing. So again, not permanent position change. Not

283
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: he's not going to be starting in center field any

284
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: of these three games in Kansas City. Like, let's slow

285
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,839
Speaker 2: the breaks on the cam Smith the centerfield thing. But

286
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: it's certainly something that they're considering, something they're thinking about,

287
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: and something that they want to see how it looks.

288
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: And it is all a testament to how good Cam

289
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 2: Smith has looked in right field.

290
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: To put him out there, put him out there on

291
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: Brown's pitching, he probably don't get a ball anyway or

292
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: fromber I mean, yeah, like you throw him back out there.

293
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: You just let him get out there and get as

294
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 1: comfortable as you can, and when one comes his way,

295
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: to make it a surprise.

296
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 4: And yeah, and then you have the bullpen coming in

297
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 4: and like you said, you can move him over. You

298
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: can put Mears or McCormick or whoever out there and uh,

299
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 4: and let him get some reps out there.

300
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 2: And Josh, the one thing you did say before about

301
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: his routes maybe not being great yet, one thing that

302
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: Dave Clark and I talked about, and it's pretty obvious

303
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 2: when you watch him, Like the routes probably aren't like

304
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: one hundred percent yet, but he is so freaking athletic.

305
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 3: Make up for that.

306
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it does not matter that his first step

307
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: may not be ideally how you want it, or like

308
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 2: he breaks in on a ball that you have to

309
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: break back because he is so fast. Man he is

310
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 2: he looks like he looks like a wide receiver out

311
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: there sometimes running the way he runs. He's Uh, he

312
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: can make up for a lot just from athleticism. And

313
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,359
Speaker 2: you can't teach that, Like, you can't.

314
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: Teach that comes natural and he and his movements and

315
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: his body movements are completely natural.

316
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: And we're work great out there.

317
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: Like I mean, like you said, you don't need perfect

318
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: routes when you're you're fast as a kid like that,

319
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: you can just make that adjustment and it helps that

320
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: he's what six' four as, well, yes three six, four six,

321
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: five so he could he could reach a lot of

322
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: other of a lot of balls that people probably can't.

323
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 4: Reach he's gonna have one of those home run robberies

324
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 4: in right field where you can just stand up and

325
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 4: grab and not even have to jump on. That that

326
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 4: fence over, there.

327
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: So easy, fence such an easy fence to rob homers.

328
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: Too the one thing that surprised, Me, josh and maybe

329
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: it shouldn't, have but WHEN i was talking To cam

330
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: about what he's what's been the biggest adjustment out in the,

331
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: outfield he, said you, KNOW i. DIDN'T i didn't realize

332
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: UNTIL i started playing the outfield how much TIME i

333
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: have out, There like how much time there is to

334
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 2: react because they got to remember this guy's coming from

335
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: third base Where, YEAH i, mean the reactions have to

336
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: be like a millisecond of. Contact now he's out, there

337
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 2: it's like he's LIKE i can finally take my time

338
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: a little. BIT i can read the ball and get

339
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: to the. Spot, now it obviously, Helps like we just,

340
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: said he's super, athletic and it's him less time to

341
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: get to his spot than most right. Fielders BUT i

342
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: found that interesting that he talked about how he had

343
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: to adjust to having more time in the outfield when

344
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 2: it comes to reactions when it comes to reading. BALLS

345
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: i thought that was.

346
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: Interesting it, is, yeah because sometimes you can't just go

347
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: off initial ball to. THAT i, mean sometimes when the

348
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: ball's flying, true you know what's going to, happen but you,

349
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: know you get those top spinners that kind of turn

350
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: into the ones that kind of rise up on. You

351
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: you kind of got to wait those out and figure

352
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: out what they're going to. Do so it makes perfect

353
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: sense what he's talking, About AND i can imagine for.

354
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: Me i've never played third base in my in my,

355
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: life SO i can't imagine the reaction time you would

356
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: need for. That SO i GUESS i can understand where

357
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: he's coming from talking, about you, know possibly needing thirty more,

358
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: milliseconds which is a lifetime for a third, basement especially

359
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: at a big league.

360
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 3: Level used to guys just roping balls down the line at.

361
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 3: You so it makes perfect sense what he's talking.

362
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: About kind of gives him a little bit more time

363
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: to kind of run through his mind how it's going to.

364
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 4: Work as MUCH i take, it he's just not a

365
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 4: third baseman. Anymore like that's just ever going to.

366
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 3: HAPPEN i think that ship's.

367
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 4: GONE i, MEAN i, MEAN i think that's what people thought, anyway,

368
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 4: Right BUT.

369
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 2: I, mean estak paratus is here for the next two.

370
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: Years Christian walker's here for. THAT i, mean if you

371
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: wanted to maybe move in the first, base Like Christian

372
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: walker's here for the next Two like he's blocked at

373
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: his at the primary positions on the. Infield he's not

374
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: a second. Baseman he's not going to play. Shortstop, like,

375
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 2: yeah his permanent home is probably in the outfield for

376
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 2: the foreseeable Felt, now could they move him back to

377
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 2: third base if you, know rates gets hurt or if

378
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 2: parade is underperformed or, Sure i'm sure they, could but,

379
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 2: yeah it seems like his permanent home is in the.

380
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: Outfield sounds like they're. Grooing it sounds like to me

381
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: like they're grewed him to be the Next George. Springer

382
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: if they.

383
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: Want him took to move By mood in the center,

384
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: field and he's got potential to be that.

385
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 3: Guy worked out pretty.

386
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:25,600

Speaker 2: history but it's up. There it's it's very. Close Since april,

Speaker 2: twelfth the next. Day Since april, twelfth twenty twenty, Four

424
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: Hunter brown's thrown one hundred and ninety three and a

425
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 2: third Major league. Ginnings he's got a two six ONE

426
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,239
Speaker 2: era only two starters in the big leagues have a

427
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: lower one in that, timeframe and That's Trek scouball And Max.

428
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 2: Freed Hunter brown's an. Ace Hunter brown is the ace

429
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 2: of this. Team he is the ace of he Is

430
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 2: he's an ace in every sense of the. Word and

431
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 2: it has been remarkable to watch his turnaround since that

432
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 2: day In Kansas city WHERE i was there AND i

433
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: thought he was going to get optioned after the, game

434
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: like it was that, bad to the point where the

435
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: start was that, bad the bullpen had to, cover the

436
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: bullpen had to get you, know eight and a third

437
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 2: innings worth of. Outs he was not good in his

438
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: first couple. Starts to watch his turnarounds since then has

439
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: been nothing short of. Remarkable and we've, TALKED i, mean

440
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 2: we've talked so much about what's allowed. It he started

441
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: throwing the, sinker and it's just it's just been. Confidence

442
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: and it's becoming a point With hunter where his starts

443
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 2: are nearing like appointment, Viewing like he's getting in that

444
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: echelon of, like, hey you want to start mapping out

445
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: When Hunter brown's going to, start because you want to

446
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: get tickets to that, game or you want to you

447
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 2: want to get tickets to that. Game you want to tune,

448
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: in you want to be, there you want to see

449
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 2: how it. Goes, TYLER i struggle to bring Up verlander's,

450
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: name and you don't want to put that those lofty

451
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 2: expectations on a. Kid but it's getting to a point

452
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: where like remember when like Peek verlander in eighteen and,

453
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: nineteen you were looking at the schedule to know when

454
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 2: he was going to, start and because you wanted, tickets

455
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 2: you wanted to See Garrett. Cole the same way when

456
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: in nineteen when he struck out three hundred and thirty, Batters,

457
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 2: like it's almost there With Hunter, brown where like he

458
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: is becoming appointment.

459
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 3: Viewing, yes sorry one came.

460
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: In oh, yeah, NO.

461
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 4: I completely. AGREE i mean it's to the point now

462
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 4: where anything less than like six innings one run feels

463
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 4: like what happened? Today you, know it doesn't matter who he's,

464
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 4: Facing he's able to just go out and. Dominate and,

465
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,959
Speaker 4: yes it's the, sinker, RIGHT i mean adding that has

466
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 4: given him, Stuff but it feels like every pitch he

467
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 4: throws is like, whoa that's like the best version of

468
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 4: that pitch and the big. LEAGUES i was saying the

469
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 4: other day That the curve that he throws is a

470
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 4: cartoon pitch and it's not even one that you think

471
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 4: about really with, him but it's. RIDICULOUS i DON'T i

472
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 4: don't understand how anyone hits off of, him and they,

473
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 4: haven't SO i, GUESS i Guess i'm correct that it

474
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 4: might be, Impossible but you, know he's one of those.

475
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 4: Guys to AN i think this is what the definition

476
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 4: of an ace is is even when you don't have

477
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 4: your best, stuff even when you're not, sharp you're still

478
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 4: able to grind. Through and we've seen that a couple

479
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 4: of starts already this, year where you watch him and you're, like,

480
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: oh he doesn't really have it, today and then you

481
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 4: look up and it's the seventh inning and he hasn't

482
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 4: given up a, run and you're, like how did how

483
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 4: did that?

484
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: Happen how was?

485
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 4: He how was he able to do?

486
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: THAT i, mean, yeah he's he's.

487
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 4: Incredible he's a top five pitcher in, baseball AND i

488
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 4: don't even think that's an argument. ANYMORE i, mean he's

489
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 4: he's so.

490
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 2: Good, joshua josh were on those teams With Peak, verlander

491
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: and you've been on teams with like unquestioned, Aces, like

492
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: what is it like in a clubhouse when like you

493
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 2: have a guy like, that where you, know when you

494
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: come to the, ballpark like this dude's, pitching like we're

495
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 2: probably winning.

496
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 3: Today we've got a very good. Shot you, know he

497
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 3: was on the flip side of.

498
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: That you, know when your, fait when your ace is

499
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: going out, there you're pretty much facing the other ace

500
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: most of the time, Too so not necessarily the easiest,

501
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: Task BUT i think when you when you get to

502
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: go to the, ballpark especially when you line up guys

503
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: Like verlander And Garrett cole back to, back you get

504
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: a pretty good field and you're going to win two

505
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: in a row pretty easily with only a you, know,

506
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: ah you go to the easy fields like three, runs

507
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: and you, know with our, lineups that was pretty easy to,

508
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: do was get three. Runs we always seems like we'd

509
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: always get those guys some really good run, support and

510
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: it made our day on defense that much, easier especially

511
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: when you got guys you, know striking.

512
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 3: OUT i think both of them struck out three hundred that,

513
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: year did they.

514
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: Not, yeah when they're both straking out three hundred plus

515
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,479
Speaker 1: and two of the five, days it's it's making not

516
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: only the, outfields making.

517
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 3: The infielders jobs a lot.

518
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: Easier to be able to focus on hitting a lot

519
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: more so makes our day a whole lot.

520
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: Easier did you, Guys like when you're in the grind

521
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: of a, season like a lot of times you don't

522
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 2: have time for, Perspective you don't have time to like

523
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: think about things in a macro. Sense but like and

524
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 2: that nineteen season when When verlander And cole were doing,

525
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: that did, you guys ever just like have that perspective

526
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: to be, like oh my, God like this is. Incredible

527
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: this is like one of the most incredible Things i've ever.

528
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: SEEN i THINK i, did AND i KNOW i did

529
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: for most of the, part you, know with with the

530
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: locker SPOT i had With springer And. BRANTLEY i felt

531
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: like we talked about that plenty of, times just looking

532
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: across the way and going, like, guys.

533
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 3: Do you realize who's in our starting?

534
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: Rotation like the fact that you, know we Got Zach

535
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: greenky and he just gets thrown out into the back

536
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: burner because he's the number three starter on this.

537
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: Team it's pretty.

538
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: Pretty funny and laughable when you can kind of forget

539
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: about a guy like that because when he came, over

540
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: he was pretty much unstoppable as. Well and when you're

541
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: just looking at those, guys you're, like, man you.

542
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 3: Guys let's just focus on our hitting.

543
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: Today it's LIKE i, said just focused on your hitting

544
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: today because these guys are gonna go out there and

545
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: give us seven with ten, punches and you, know just

546
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: keep us off our legs and more focus and.

547
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 3: ENERGIZEMENT i think we sit back and go even if

548
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 3: you're not talking about you just look back across the locker.

549
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 3: Room you're, like we're part of something special.

550
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: Here and that's that's the best way to look at

551
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: because we're very fortunate and not a lot of guys

552
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: get the experience that at any time in their.

553
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 4: Career but the crazy thing is again with With Hunter.

554
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 4: Brown he's got that ability, to you, know punch out

555
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 4: ten guys without breaking a, sweat but also when he

556
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 4: does get, contact as opposed to a lot of strikeout

557
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 4: pitchers where their fly ball out guys and sometimes teams

558
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 4: can just accidentally run into a three run inning because

559
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 4: there's a blop single and a walk and then they

560
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 4: can hit a home run like that doesn't happen To

561
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 4: Hunter brown. EITHER i, mean he gets weak groundball, contact

562
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 4: so he's got that side of the ace and then

563
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 4: also able to strike out anybody at. Will it seems,

564
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 4: LIKE i, mean he seems. UNSTOPPABLE i know it's probably

565
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 4: not gonna last, forever BUT i. DON'T i don't see

566
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 4: how he can be hit right. NOW i just. Don't

567
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 4: he's he's.

568
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, yeah he's not Like verlander And, cole who are

569
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: elevated four seam guys that, LIKE i, Mean, verlander even

570
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: at his, best was giving, up you, know one or

571
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: two homers a. Game they were all solo, homers and

572
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: solo homers don't beat. You same thing With Garrett. Cole but,

573
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: like and that's like the one thing where you, look

574
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: everyone wants to make The Hunter Brown Justin verlander comp

575
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: and look there are some. Similarities you look at the

576
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,959
Speaker 2: Delivery detroit, obviously but Like Hunter brown doesn't rely on

577
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 2: the four seam on the top rail Like Justin. Verlander

578
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 2: did you Know Justin verlander was very much force am

579
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 2: up and then too you, know slider a curveball down

580
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 2: Like Hunter brown's got more. Weapons Like Hunter brown goes

581
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: to the change up a little bit more Than verlander.

582
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 2: Did Hunter brown's got the. Sinker like if if we

583
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 2: remember one thing The astros told Justin, verlanders stopped throwing

584
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 2: your sinker when they acquired. Him, Uh Hunter brown's been

585
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 2: the complete. Opposite it's please throw it, more please Throw

586
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: he threw it to left handed hitters In Saint louis

587
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 2: and it. Worked, Well they're not one and the, same

588
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 2: but you're seeing it done a little bit in a different.

589
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 2: Way he's given up one homer all year and that

590
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 2: was on a cutter that was at the top of.

591
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: It wasn't even a strike that That Juan soto hit

592
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: the other way and kind of, yeah a cap When

593
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: Juan soto just hits a perfect pitch. Out, YEAH i

594
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 2: mean it's he has. Been he's been unquestionably the brightest

595
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: spot of this and we knew he'd be good coming

596
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 2: into the, season but what he has done is exceeded

597
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 2: just about any reasonable EXPECTATIONS i think anyone had for.

598
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 2: Him speaking of not fulfilling, expectations The ashers. Lineup they

599
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: enter this series against The royals with a three forty

600
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: nine team slugging. Percentage that is the sixth s lowest

601
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 2: slugging percentage in, baseball which probably explains why they have

602
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: the six lowest ops in baseball at six fifty. Nine

603
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: there's been a lot to like about this. Offense it

604
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 2: hasn't produced. Runs i'm not sitting here trying to put

605
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: lipstick on a. Pig but the way the bats have

606
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: come like they've they've they're seeing more, pitches they're. Walking,

607
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 2: yeah ats look. Better the production is just not, there

608
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 2: and it's because they have no. Power, like they're not

609
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 2: hitting for, power they're just hitting a bunch of. Singles

610
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 2: they're having a string hits, together which is hard to

611
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 2: do against good, Pitching like it's hard to string three

612
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 2: and four singles together against good. Pitching you're seeing them

613
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: run the bases. Aggressively they're going first to third a,

614
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 2: lot they're going second to home on. Singles it's because

615
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 2: they haven't hit for much power to start this. Year

616
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 2: we just. Talked we spent the first segment talking About

617
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: Cam smith and why they're looking at this center field

618
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 2: thing and it's to get a little bit more upside

619
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 2: in the. Lineup But, josh for this lineup to function

620
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 2: as it wants to get, Power Christian walker has to

Speaker 2: decenzo will. Help but until the middle of their order

625
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: and tell the guys that they pay to produce, runs

00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,960

628
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,120

Speaker 3: Day at the, yard not one at. Home, Uh so

634
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 3: we can kind of ease off The Christian walker.

635
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: Talk he does need to obviously keep the run he's

636
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: going on and he's keep producing them what doing what he's.

637
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 3: Doing but you, know here the picture, is you're. DONE

00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: i mean you're.

639
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: Done we expect it to have at least probably seven

640
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: or eight homers by this. Point he's got two in

641
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: the back. Pocket jiner has won and that's from one good.

642
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: Game he's had one good game at the plate all.

643
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,239
Speaker 1: Year but you focus around those two guys because they

644
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: were your catalystic driving in, runs hitting the ball of

645
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: the ballpark last year and you're just not seeing. That,

646
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: luckily you, know you Get East sauk hitting balls out

647
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: of the ballpark right, now two a doing out two by,

648
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: things and you Know Cam smith loves hitting there At

649
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: dyke And, park it seems. Like but you got to

650
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: have production from those guys that you're supposed to have it.

651
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: From and that's really all you can say about those.

652
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: Guys there's nowhere else to sugarcoat. It put a lipstick

653
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: on a, pig as you, Say but there's no sugarcoating

654
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: anything right.

655
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 3: Now these guys got to get it.

656
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 4: Done, yeah and it you, Know jordon's going to you,

657
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 4: KNOW i think he has earned all of us just

658
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 4: saying like it hasn't happened. Yet But I'm i'm not

659
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 4: worried About jordon. HITTING i think there are very few

660
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 4: things you can count on in, life And jordon hitting

661
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 4: home runs is one of. Them it's going to come

662
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 4: when does he get to play In. Baltimore for some,

663
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,479
Speaker 4: reason in my, head that's that's what is going to unlock,

664
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 4: it because of the you, know crazy home run game

665
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 4: that he had there a few years. Ago SO i

666
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 4: if that comes, soon that's when the breakout comes for.

667
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 4: Me but he's looked better in the past couple of.

668
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 4: Games he's had a, few you, know warning track fly,

669
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 4: balls which you, Know i'm assuming we'll turn into home

670
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 4: runs at some. Point but you, know the thing about

671
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 4: The astros lineup this, year as you've, said is the

672
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 4: production has been, down but it seems like the floor

673
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 4: is much, higher right because even though the power isn't,

674
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 4: there the bats consistently across the entire lineup are just,

675
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 4: better and you have more opportunities for somebody to have

676
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 4: a good game with a couple runners on, base and

677
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 4: you know you can make it through that game where

678
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 4: you don't have to rely On jordan Or yain or

679
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 4: or whoever coming in and saving you from the. Game

680
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 4: because it does feel like top to. Bottom you, know

681
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 4: the ceiling isn't as high because you don't have the,

682
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 4: crazy you, know three true outcome guys who can run

683
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 4: into just a cluster of home. Runs but LIKE i,

684
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 4: said the floor is much higher for getting embarrassed in

685
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 4: a series or something where you know they do have

686
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 4: the ability to put together good at bats and have

687
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 4: runners on, base is just a matter of getting them.

688
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 4: In and you, know like we, Said jordin's going to

689
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 4: get there at some. Point i'm not worried about that.

690
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: YET i have an Encouraging Jordan alvarez stat that would

691
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: back up What tyler just. Said so he enters the,

692
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 2: game first game In Kansas, city with a three thirty

693
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 2: eight slugging, percentage which just saying that feels. Absurd his

694
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 2: expected slugging percentage according To Baseball, savant which is which

695
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 2: takes into, contact which takes into account launch, angle quality of,

696
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 2: contact things like, that his expected slugging percentage is five oh.

697
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 2: Four there's only eight guys in the big leagues that

698
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: have a bigger difference between their actual slugging percentage and

699
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 2: their expected slugging. Percentage to, me what that says, is,

700
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 2: look he's been getting a little. Unlucky but, look you

701
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 2: can say expected stats all you. Want you have to.

702
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: Produce so there is there is some underlying stuff there

703
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 2: that would suggest that he is hitting balls. Hard he

704
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 2: is hitting balls on a, line and he's hitting balls

705
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 2: that you know should fall for extra bases that are

706
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: either right to guys or either the wrong wrong part

707
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 2: of the, ballpark things like. That so there is some

708
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 2: merit to the. Hole he's he's, close he's getting, There,

709
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 2: JOSH i wonder what you thought About joe moving you're

710
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 2: not up to the two. Hole it sounds like something

711
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: that they're gonna keep going here for a little. WHILE

712
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: i liked it for a couple of. Reasons one when

713
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: they kept hitting him With walker And diaz right behind

714
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 2: him scuffling so much like of course he wasn't gonna

715
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: get anything to hit because they're not going to mess with.

716
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 2: Him they're just going to go to the two struggling

717
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 2: guys right behind. Him and THEN i, think you, Know

718
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: Essoc paradus has shown that he's got a knack For

719
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 2: he's not going to strike. Out he's gonna put the

720
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: ball in. Play if you can Get Estac paradus up

721
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 2: with guys with runners on, base with you, Know morse

722
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 2: kind of scoring, situations that's kind of the bat and

723
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 2: that's kind of the profile that you, want maybe up

724
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: with run or Some what do you think about your

742
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,960

743
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: Lineup So i'm all for. It you let you figure

Speaker 1: Order that way you get the best chance of. Scoring

746
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: and then you let that the rest of the thing

747
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: flow in and let your bottom of your line up

748
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 1: hopefully turn it over hopefully and you figures it out.

749
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 3: Soon But i'm all for this.

750
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 2: Move do you like Cam smith at Ninth.

751
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 3: It's not a bad. THING i think the way he's

752
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 3: swinging the, bat he probably could have been moved.

753
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: Up a little bit more in the end a run

754
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,479
Speaker 1: producing roles he handle, it but at the same, time

755
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: it seems to be a comfort level for.

756
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 3: Him. Now he seems very good down.

757
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,399
Speaker 1: There he's swinging the bat a lot, better whether it's

758
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: from you, know his move in the, box whether it's

759
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: the move in the. Lineup but if he's comfortable down,

760
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: there he gives you a great chance to help turn

761
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: over the.

762
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 3: Lineup he's got the best protection of the. Lineup he's

763
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 3: got TWO.

764
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: V jordan right behind, him so you know he's going

765
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: to get some pretty good pitches to. Hit so there

766
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: they're probably trying it out to see how he handles

767
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: getting some better pitches to. Hit so it's it's a

768
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: great it's a great.

769
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 3: MOVE i, REALLY i really like.

770
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 2: It, YEAH i think you, know a lot of people

771
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: don't want to hear this, because let, look the games.

772
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 2: Count every game counts from game one to one sixty

773
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 2: one sixty. Two but a lot of teams use the

774
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 2: first twenty twenty five games of a season to really

775
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 2: kind of get to know their roster a little, bit

776
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 2: to get to know kind of how things, work how

777
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 2: you know who is whose spring training was real and who.

778
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: Wasn't and Like joe and his coaching staff are really

779
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 2: right now still really getting to know kind of how

780
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 2: this roster. Functions we couldn't really talk about this last

781
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 2: year because they started seven and seventeen and they started

782
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 2: chasing wins so quickly that like it didn't really matter

783
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 2: how the roster was. Functioning at that. Point it was

784
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 2: just pedal to the metal to try to get wins

785
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 2: and get out of the. Hole but now that they're you,

786
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 2: know they're thirteen and, eleven it's not these games do

787
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 2: matter and they're trying to win. Them don't misunderstand, Me

788
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: but first month of the, SEASON i Think joe is

789
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: using a lot of time to kind of see which

790
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: lineup construction, works kind of how late game substitutions, work

791
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 2: especially in the, bullpen like who responds to what? Roles

792
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 2: who is you, know trustworthy in certain. ROLES i know

793
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 2: a lot of people were very intense That Taylor scott

794
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: is pitching a, Lot LIKE i, mean you use this

795
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 2: time to see kind of who you can trust and

796
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 2: leverage roles when things really get going in Like may And,

797
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 2: june when you're in a stretch of eighteen nineteen in

798
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: a row and you don't have this luxury of being

799
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 2: able to work with the lineups a little. Bit so

800
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,759
Speaker 2: it's been AND i think that's why you've seen. It

801
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 2: that's why you've seen a lot of you, know. Tinkering

802
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 2: that's why you've seen a lot of different guys in different.

803
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 2: Spaces you've seen a lot of different late game defensive.

804
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 2: Replacements you've seen relievers working in interesting. SITUATIONS i think

805
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 2: it's a it's a case where they're still trying to

806
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 2: figure out how this roster, works because this is a

807
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: this is a roster with a lot of new faces

808
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 2: and a lot of just kind of new skill sets

809
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 2: that this team hasn't had in a.

810
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 4: While, yeah and you know what's crazy is The astros

811
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 4: have not really been good and they have the third

812
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,919
Speaker 4: best run differential in The American. League now granted most

813
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 4: of The American league is in the. Negative that you,

814
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 4: know The astros only have a plus eleven run, differential but,

815
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 4: again they haven't even been playing that well and they're

816
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 4: still you, know in the top of The American. League

817
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,839
Speaker 4: and so you, know once once things start, clicking because

818
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 4: again it's not like they're being held up By, oh

819
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 4: these guys are way over performing what we. Thought and you,

820
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 4: know this is a mirage like it almost seems like

821
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 4: a mirage that they've been this, bad, Right and IT'S i,

822
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 4: mean it's tough to say bad when you know they're

823
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 4: they're doing, fine, Right it's you, know they're thirteen and.

824
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 4: Eleven it's not not like they're, bad but they haven't

825
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 4: been playing their best, certainly and they're still one of

826
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 4: the better teams in The American. League and so, yeah

827
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 4: once those things start, clicking you, KNOW i think they're

828
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 4: still in a really good position to have a good.

829
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 2: Season. YEAH i, mean like it'd be different If jordan

830
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 2: was on an otherworldly tear and you, know al tub

831
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 2: was hitting four fifty and this team was thirteen and,

832
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 2: eleven we'd be, Like, okay this is gonna regress to

833
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 2: a mean at some. Point but, no like they're. Doing

834
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: And Josh hater even said this after the after thee

835
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: the sweep and against The Blue, jays he, said you,

836
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: know we're doing this with guys that we know are

837
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 2: going to, produce that aren't. Producing and HE'S i think he,

838
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 2: said it's a scary thought to think if the if

839
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: and when those guys turn around and start to, produce

840
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,439
Speaker 2: what this team is going to look. Like because it's. Been,

841
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: uh you, know if they can get want one or

842
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 2: two Of, Alvarez walker And diaz just going to their career,

843
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 2: levels then it really kind of transforms this, team and

844
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: it stops us from talking about batting order construction or

845
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 2: like who's going to play center field on a nightly

846
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: base like those. Things those things become moot when Like

847
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 2: Jordan alvarez has a five fifty slugging percentage like or

848
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 2: When Christian walker's hitting twenty five thirty home. Runs but

849
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 2: one interesting, THING i guess we should, SAY i don't

850
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 2: want this to rub salt and. Wounds Kyle tucker has

851
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: seven home runs this year for The. Cubs Jordan, Alvarez Christian,

852
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 2: walker And Yiner diaz have combined for five home. Runs

853
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 2: so that's that's. Tough but good For Kyle, tucker who's

854
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 2: going to be a very very very.

855
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,839
Speaker 3: Rich man have like six or seven as.

856
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,720
Speaker 2: Well, Yeah bregman has like a nine to seventy. Ops,

857
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 2: yeah which like he went out of.

858
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 4: The other, day which was, Cool and THEN i saw

859
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 4: that it was only a home run in two ballparks

860
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 4: because of the way that it goes out Of.

861
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: Fenway but you're gonna see That you're gonna see that

862
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 1: number of pop up For Alex bregman At fenway a

863
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: lot more than anybody In Major League.

864
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 3: Baseball that's.

865
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 4: Cool that's that is probably the most aesthetically. Pleasing he's not.

866
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 3: Dumb alex is not a dumb. Hitter we can say

867
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 3: that he's not a dumb.

868
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 2: Hitter he knew what he was doing too when he

869
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:36,480

870
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 2: park he looked At fenway and was, LIKE i THINK

871
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 2: i knew where there's a lot.

872
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 4: More did you See Kyle tucker had a hit the

873
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:51,000
