1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: And now it's day two.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: Yes, wow, that's a different craft stance today, but it

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: is Opening Day still for some teams. Yeah, that was

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: the crab.

5
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 3: What do you call that, the krusty krab.

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Krusty krab. Oh, it's cash because we're money season.

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 2: It is the extension season extended into the regular season.

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: This time, we're not going to do that.

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: Give me one minute first, you know what I want

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 2: to point out becase we're not going to do a whole.

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: Segment on it.

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: My favorite part of Opening Day, Todd Father is debuts.

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: Because you're a kid, you dream of being the big leagues.

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 2: You go through a crazy path. Nowadays it's a quicker

15
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: path usually to the big leagues if you're really good,

16
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: from the draft to the show. But Man even late

17
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: into the night, Chase the latter, in his first regular

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: season game, hit two home runs. McGonagall had four hits

19
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: and two doubles. Carson Bench had a home run in

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: a stolen base for the Mets. Who else am I missing?

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: JJ Weatherholt had a home run for the Cardinals. I mean,

22
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: it's like everybody we were looking forward to seeing all

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: had huge games. Not everybody, but many of the big boys.

24
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's it started in spring training when the

25
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 4: name started coming out and you're trying to figure out, ah, well,

26
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 4: this guy gonna be any good?

27
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: Is he a suspect, is he a prospect? Is he

28
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: a big leaguer?

29
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 4: And these guys, they're more polished, They have more stuff

30
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 4: they can look at to get them ready to go.

31
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: You know, it's not just raw talent anymore.

32
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 4: It's guys that you know, have the film, have the

33
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 4: extent of looking where my body is, two degrees right

34
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 4: left center, all that kind of stuff, you know, all

35
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 4: joking aside that could get them in the right places

36
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 4: and put their bat path in the right better path

37
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 4: on any pitch that they're looking for and squaring the

38
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 4: ball up and they go four for four and McGonagall,

39
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 4: I mean that's absolutely phenomenal. So yeah, pretty good star

40
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 4: for these young men. And then you look like you

41
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 4: look at a veteran guy and Aaron Judge, what the heck?

42
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 4: You know, it's like all the world's coming in and

43
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 4: so four strikeouts for him. So do I think this

44
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: is gonna be the whole rest of the season. No,

45
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: When I think these kids they have a bright future,

46
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 4: of course.

47
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, nerd on technicality McGonagall four for five started the day,

48
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: three for three had a two run double.

49
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: I think it was to start.

50
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: Then he had the double follow up, but yes, still

51
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: same point and Todd, you weren't on yesterday's show, so

52
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: AJ was on. I think like a barstool show where

53
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: one guy was like, oh, and do you think Judge

54
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: is washed? Yeah, dude, one game, that's not really how this.

55
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: This is baseball, not football, So we're gonna let things

56
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: play out a little more than than one game. But Kratz,

57
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: I actually think, for you and me talking so much

58
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: offseason stuff, a day like yesterday proves why teams are

59
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: so stingy with prospects.

60
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, you look at all of them

61
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 5: and you go, who's going to be the best. Who's

62
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 5: going to be the one that has the best not

63
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 5: just career but season this year? And to me, it's

64
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 5: the one. It's the guys that are getting put in

65
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 5: the lineups that are maybe hit sixth or seventh to

66
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 5: start on playoff contending teams, and then if they continue

67
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 5: to have the success that we saw them have on

68
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 5: opening day, then you go, okay, we move them into

69
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 5: a different spot. In the lineup. Like, I don't think

70
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 5: Kevin McGonagle is a seven hitter, but I love that

71
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 5: aj Hinch put him there. A j Hinch gets it.

72
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 5: He understands how to let prospects kind of like transition

73
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 5: into the big leagues. Look at the guys that he's

74
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 5: helped transition in, you know, George Springer, a Carlos Corre,

75
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 5: those kinds of guys that were early in their careers

76
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 5: when he was managing Kyle Tucker.

77
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: There's many, yeah, that aj Hinch saw early in their

78
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: career and they've blossomed.

79
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: So the Tigers win the game.

80
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: By the way, we'll go over some of what we

81
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: saw from day one and we'll push it forward to

82
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: day too.

83
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: But also there's news. Let's talk Kashish, let's charge it out.

84
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: Look at the Cubs.

85
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, Todd Father dropping bills left and right.

86
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: So Nico Horner signed a six year contract extension.

87
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: He was the guy.

88
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: I mean, he was mentioned in trade rumors this offseason,

89
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: but it didn't sound like it was serious on the

90
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: Cub side. And yeah, it wasn't because they wanted to

91
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: keep him and they are keeping him on a six

92
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: year agreement.

93
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: We haven't received the money yet.

94
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: He actually has a press conference and for those of

95
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: you that are watching us right now on TV on Marquee,

96
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 2: you're going to go to that at the top of

97
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: the next hour, so two o'clock eastern, one o'clock your time.

98
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: We'll stay, of course on FT on YouTube like we

99
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: always do. But Top Father Pekar.

100
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: Armstrong just signed an extension with his team.

101
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: Horner is way deeper into his career, so that's why

102
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: I think the money will end up being somewhat similar.

103
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 2: I think you'll end up seeing a number in the

104
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: low to mid one hundreds, maybe one twenty five mil

105
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: something like that for Nico Horner, which is somewhat similar

106
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: to the guaranteed cash that PCA got, but PCA higher ceiling.

107
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: Nico Horner has been one of the best players at

108
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: his position in the sport for about half a decade now.

109
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 2: Our sport loves variations of wins above replacement, and he's

110
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: been like a four or five last I think if

111
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: he went by Baseball Reference in the sixes win player and.

112
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 4: Quietly, you know what I mean, you know about him,

113
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 4: but what's the old Nurses Ryan Little Nico Corner and

114
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 4: Horner sat in the corner in his pines and his curves.

115
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 4: Now he's eating steak and kebab's. This guy has got them.

116
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 4: He's gonna get some cash. This guy is absolutely phenomenal. Quietly,

117
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 4: those are the guys you want on your squad, the

118
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 4: guys that go out there day in and day out

119
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 4: and just perfect their craft. Gold Glover hits the ball, gap,

120
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 4: the gap hits gop, has power, speed, He's got it all.

121
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: And guess what nobody's really heard about this guy. Honestly,

122
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 4: unless you live in the Midwest.

123
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: It's a dude. He's a dude. He's a dude.

124
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: And if you're the Cubs, if thinking about the Cubs

125
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 4: and what they've been doing, absolutely phenomenal.

126
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: This is what you.

127
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 4: Want as a fan, as a baseball fan and a

128
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 4: Cubs fan, this is what they should be doing, This

129
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 4: is what teams should be doing. And seeing what the

130
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 4: Cubs have done, spend in the most money. Hey, kudos

131
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 4: to you, Chicago. Now go out there and get a win.

132
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 5: I mean, I'll be interested to see how much this

133
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 5: this is for. Because he's coming off the best season

134
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 5: of his career from a war standpoint, from an OPS

135
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 5: plus standpoint from every aspect like he but he's also

136
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 5: kind of been blossoming into this everyday player over the

137
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 5: last four years. Like it's kind of been the fact

138
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 5: that the guy just has always put together great at bats,

139
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 5: the fact that he was able to not up his

140
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 5: not up his UH walk rate a ton, but more

141
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 5: lower his strikeout rate from years previous. And to me,

142
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 5: I think it's something that I guess it's like an

143
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 5: old adage like this guy's a ballplayer like this guy,

144
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 5: And I always hate when guys say that because it's like,

145
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 5: what does that mean? Like he just doesn't do anything

146
00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 5: super awesome, Like to me, short arms, quick to the ball, understands,

147
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 5: understands the situation that he's that he's playing in. He's

148
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 5: kind of like a you know, I don't know if

149
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 5: people remember Eric Ibar. Eric Ibar was a switch hitter

150
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 5: back in the day. I think, you know, that was

151
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 5: more my time when I was playing. So for Nico Horner,

152
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 5: is he going to have a better career? To me,

153
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 5: the way he's matured at the plate and the way

154
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 5: that he's been able to when he gets every day

155
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 5: at bats drive the ball to different locations. He's not

156
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 5: going to hit you a ton of dingers, but he's

157
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 5: going to play gold glove defense. So to me, I

158
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 5: think it's it's something that you see the Cubs they

159
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 5: don't want him to go to free agency. Shows what

160
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 5: he means to this team. But it also shows he

161
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 5: likes Chicago. This is his second extension he's signed. I

162
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 5: think he signed a three year piece to kind of

163
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 5: avoid all his arbitration years, and now he stays for

164
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 5: six more years. And I love when I see this

165
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 5: kind of stuff. And I love when I see it

166
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 5: because now you have Gold at Second locked up for

167
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 5: six years, and you have Olden Center locked up for

168
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 5: six years.

169
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: All right, sek kupus get some tickets.

170
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: You know you got the ten percent off with the

171
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: code territory one zero. So let's look at the weekend. Boys,

172
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: you excited about anything in particular? Crats, I'll go to

173
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 2: you first, because when I was looking at the matchups

174
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: for tomorrow Saturday, if I'm trying to grab a seat

175
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: on Sea Geek Aaron Nola against Jacob de Grom. Remember

176
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: the other day, we're like, when's de gram pitching? Only

177
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: he's pitching on Saturday.

178
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 5: That's okay, that's fine, But to me, I'm going where

179
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 5: I thought it was one of the best opening days

180
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 5: because I never got to go to Cincinnati for an

181
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 5: opening day Toronto. Toronto gets to play the A's, which

182
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 5: is kind of a weird team to team I said

183
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 5: this earlier matchup, but you get to see Dylan Cees.

184
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 5: I get to see the guy that the Blue Jays

185
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 5: were like, what nobody's moving in the free agency market,

186
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 5: We'll just go get the best player, best pitcher that

187
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 5: we think is available. Bang, he gets to go and

188
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 5: he gets to pitch in Toronto for his first start

189
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 5: second day of the year, after Gosman goes tonight. That

190
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 5: to me, that's the marquee matchup because the A's they

191
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 5: got a good lineup.

192
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 3: They definitely do. They definitely do. And for me, I'm

193
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: I'm staying close to home.

194
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 5: Man.

195
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 4: Rangers Phillies, Dude, I just think Rangers are going to

196
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 4: be in the mix when we talk about playoff teams.

197
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,239
Speaker 4: Phillies are going to be a mix of NL East champions.

198
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 4: I got the ground throwing with Nola on the mound.

199
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 4: M HM, can't really get anything better than that. So

200
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 4: I'm I'm just gonna take a cab over and uh

201
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: get my get my tickets and uh go watch a

206

00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,120

00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,560

00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

223
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: Last year his wins above replacement from Baseball Reference and

224
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: it was a big gap between fangrafs fangrafts.

225
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: Is four point eight still an awesome number, that is.

226
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: That is all star level wins above replacement for a player,

227
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: but six point two is superstar and he was fourth

228
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: among all National League position players. You can agree or

229
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: disagree with parts of the number, and I know you

230
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 2: know some people do and some people don't that watch

231
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: and listen to this show.

232
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: But it is a key factor in how players are

233
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: evaluated in our league.

234
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: So he is looked at super highly, and he was

235
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: going to get paid more than whatever he gets here.

236
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: He was going to get more on the free agent

237
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: market in my mind. But you get the security here

238
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: heading into your free agent season. Also stole twenty nine bags.

239
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: He makes contact, third lowest strikeout rate among qualifiers last year.

240
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: And here was the key quote that I dug up.

241
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: I was looking for it while you guys were chatting,

242
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: and I know you'll both like it. Craig Council at

243
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: the winter meetings said, Nico's great at some things that

244
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: I think other people think they're good at, and they're

245
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: not as good at it. I'm not talking about just players,

246
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 2: I'm talking about people. When you say show up every

247
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 2: day and compete every day. Every rep is completed perfectly.

248
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 2: That is who Nico is. That seems like that's easy.

249
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 2: Everybody can do that. I do that, well, you don't

250
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 2: do it. I would put Nico at the top of

251
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: the list for how he does that. I think that's

252
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 2: a really good way to put it in and it's

253
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: pointing to what you're talking about. Top father is he

254
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: actually does what he preaches. And there are so many

255
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: players in baseball that think they do that, and they

256
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 2: probably do it better than almost anyone else on the planet.

257
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: But when you get to the elite of the elite, Craig.

258
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: Council is saying, I've seen a ton of baseball and

259
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: a ton of players. This guy is at another level

260
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 2: in terms of his preparation. That means he's got the

261
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 2: respect of him and all of the youngsters that are

262
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: going to come through the Cubs organization.

263
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: One hundred percent. And that's the guy you want to

264
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 3: look up to.

265
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 4: That's the guy you're like, you know what, I want

266
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 4: to emulate my game after When I came up, there

267
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 4: was a couple of guys, Brandon Phillips, Scott Rowland, like

268
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 4: the way they went about their business, the way they

269
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 4: play the game, and they it's just an understanding. Like

270
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 4: it's weird when you come up and you see guys

271
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 4: like they command respect out of you without even saying

272
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 4: a word. And that's the guy you walk by, put

273
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 4: your chest up, walk by, Hey, how you doing?

274
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: Good to see you instead of me? How I was? Hey,

275
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: big dog, what's going on.

276
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: It's a different way of talking to somebody, and you

277
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 4: just respect that kind of person.

278
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: Hey, the Cubs got smacked in the opening game of

279
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: this Who cares, it's one game. They lost ten four

280
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: national sit a bunch of homers. The one thing I

281
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: do want to point out is when you look at

282
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: the box score for that game, and of course you

283
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: see that Saya Suzuki isn't starting off the season. So

284
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 2: if you've been sleeping under a rock and you're a

285
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: Cubs fan, you're like, Okay, Saya's hurt right now, what

286
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 2: does the outfield look like? Well, that's where I think

287
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: the last piece of the puzzle here gets interesting. Last

288
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: year we were talking about Matt Shaw is one of

289
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: the better prospects in baseball and the guy of the

290
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: future for the Cubs at third base. Matt Shaw started

291
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: in right field yesterday for the Cubs. This might be

292
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: a little bit of a shaky season for him because Kratz.

293
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: He's got to learn a new position in the outfield

294
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: now that Bregman is there for many years, Horner's at second,

295
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: Swanson's as short, there's no room for him in the infield.

296
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: Michael Bush, I think, is also one of the more

297
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 2: underrated players in the game. Cubs have done a really

298
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: nice job with their core. For Shaw either gets traded

299
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 2: or I think more likely, he learns outfield and plays

300
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 2: it well.

301
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: They've got free.

302
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: Agents coming up. Ian Happ is a free agent after

303
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: this season. That doesn't mean they're necessarily going to sign him.

304
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: Say a Suzuki is a free agent after the season.

305
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: They traded Owen Casey, who was one of their top prospects,

306
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: to the Mirlands for Edward Cabrera.

307
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: I think they're going to give him a runout there.

308
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: Times like this, Let's say say it takes another couple

309
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: weeks to return, they get to see what they have

310
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: in young Matt Shaw in the outfield.

311
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 5: And I think maybe the extension, I mean, yeah, the

312
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 5: extension for Nico Horner is good for Matt Shaw in

313
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 5: the sense not that because he was he was a

314
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 5: really good defender at third base, and I think his

315
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 5: bat will continue to continue to mature. But there's always

316
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 5: that Okay, well Nico is going to be gone next year,

317
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 5: so maybe I'll learn second while I'm kind of learning outfield.

318
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 5: I might be fluctuating between Triple A and the big leagues,

319
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 5: or I'm going to be that fourth outfielder. Say it

320
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 5: gets hurt, the extension comes out. Now it's almost like, okay,

321
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 5: Matt Shaw, your choice is you can flounder as kind

322
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 5: of that like utility infield guy who doesn't play shortstop

323
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 5: in the big leagues, or you can say I'm all in,

324
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 5: You're I'm athletic. I can learn to play the outfield.

325
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 5: And there's not a lot of ground to pull up

326
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 5: ground to cover in Wrigley Now. The wind is another

327
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 5: is another is another level as we saw last night

328
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 5: and in Ian Hap's dinger that wasn't a dinger, but

329
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 5: I think there's I think it's it's something that may

330
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 5: help him push all in to be an outfielder and

331
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 5: not worry about Okay, well, maybe I'll I'll get back

332
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 5: to second once Nico leaves.

333
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, there were metrics last year that showed Pete ker

334
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: Armstrong is even better than you think based on how

335
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: difficult the wind can get for outfielders a wrigular field.

336
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: So he's probably not going to learn it in the day.

337
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: I mean, Todd father, you didn't go through this exactly,

338
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: but you had to wait your turn a little bit,

339
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 2: in my mind, a little bit longer than you should have.

340
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: But you did, and you came up and did some

341
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: third and eventually some first two for matchaw imagine if

342
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: you're him, you come up, you've been doing third, you

343
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: feel like you've got it right. You've you've barely had

344
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: a minut in the bigs. You were improved on defense

345
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: over time in your first season. And then they're like, oops, sorry,

346
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: we signed Alex Bregmant. You're gonna be part of a

347
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: much better team, but you need to learn the swirly

348
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: outfield at Wrigley.

349
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

350
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 4: It's a punch in the stomach for sure, especially when

351
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 4: you think like you did every when you think you

352
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 4: did everything you were supposed to do. So we saw

353
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 4: yesterday the wind was blowing out the right. It was tricky.

354
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 4: Anything to you was going over you, and anything over

355
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 4: you was going out of the park. I played in

356
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 4: a couple of those games, dere Wrigley Field. If you're

357
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 4: anywhere from if you're looking at second base from the

358
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 4: high camp, from the right side second base, first base,

359
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 4: just understand, any pop up to center field is gonna

360
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 4: come back and you might have to catch it.

361
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: So yeah, you don't see those too often there.

362
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 4: But when the wind is blowing that way, good luck

363
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 4: right side of the field. If you're looking from home plate.

364
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: Move over, ipey.

365
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: There are new thieves to talk about, and it's a

366
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 2: court case, so we'll let it play out first. But

367
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: it does sound like there is some serious, serious conflict

368
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: between Alec Bohm and his parents. He filed a lawsuit,

369
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 2: and of course this news breaks on opening day. Boem

370
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: hits an Opo three run homer. I think it was

371
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 2: three run homer for the Phillies in a win, so

372
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 2: it clearly didn't affect him on the field.

373
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: I can only imagine what he's going through off the field.

374
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 2: But in the lawsuit, he alleges that his parents defrauded

375
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 2: him of millions of dollars, and I highly.

376
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: Encourage you to read it.

377
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 2: It was first what Philly Inquire to report on it,

378
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: but it talks about multiple LLC set up all kinds

379
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: of stuff they got him to sign, all alleged in

380
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: the lawsuit, and then he wants real estate and they're

381
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 2: doing weird things with him. I mean, it is everything

382
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: in the book that you would think looks like a scam.

383
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 2: So if it is true, it is horrific. And then

384
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: when he finally wanted to see the books that his

385
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: parents were keeping, its sounds like they basically got a

386
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: lawyer right away and sentim a note like, oh, we're

387
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: billing you for our time over these past several years

388
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 2: to do your finances, so instead of showing them the books,

389
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 2: they said, pay us money. It sounds like a damn disaster.

390
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: And again, the court case has to play out. We're

391
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: not putting anyone guilty yet, so I'm throwing that out there.

392
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: But if what is alleged is true, Kratz, it is

393
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: a nightmare.

394
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 5: Nightmare because you're sitting there going, okay, I gotta focus

395
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 5: and lock in on playing. And he's not just dealing

396
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 5: with this just because just broke. He's not been dealing

397
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 5: with this like ooh the last two days of spring training,

398
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 5: like this is something that is clearly ongoing. It's clearly

399
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 5: something that maybe over the last few years his mind's

400
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 5: gone like that's kind of weird, that's kinda and people

401
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 5: some people will say, well, why do you have somebody

402
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 5: else working on your finances? It's not how it worked, like,

403
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 5: it's not how it works for everybody, like you graduate

404
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 5: from college. I played with him in twenty nineteen. He

405
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 5: was drafted in eighteen. He was up in the big

406
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 5: league soon after that. He's been in the big league

407
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 5: for a long time. And you're a young you're a

408
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 5: young man getting a ton of money. You need to

409
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 5: focus on what's going on in the field. So you

410
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 5: know what, if your parents come to you and they say, hey,

411
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 5: we'll help you out with this, I don't know about

412
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 5: you guys, but I would trust them. I would trust

413
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 5: my parents. And that's what's tough is now he has

414
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 5: to kind of question if these allegations are true. He

415
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 5: has to question, well, who else can I trust? Because

416
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 5: when you have that much money and you're willing to

417
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 5: trust people, people take advantage of it. People take advantage

418
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 5: of of your and sometimes I think when it's parents,

419
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 5: they feel like they're kind of like owed some of it. Like, Oh,

420
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 5: I did a lot for you, I'm gonna go help you,

421
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 5: and now all of a sudden, it's like you weren't

422
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 5: helping me, You're helping yourself.

423
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 2: Hey, it might be time to have a heart to

424
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: heart with your phone and be like, I love you,

425
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 2: but you cost too much.

426
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not paying this much anymore. That's it. I mean,

427
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 5: why would I go more than fifteen dollars a month.

428
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 5: Mintmobile can give that to me and I get all

Speaker 4: Yeah, this is tough, man, because I think you said

444
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 4: it best. You're gonna be second guessing everybody, and I

445
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 4: think he has a right to do that, you know,

446
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 4: barring all these allegations. If this is all true, Imagine

447
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 4: the conversation you first have with your parents, Hey man,

448
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 4: can I just see the books? What's what are all

449
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 4: the holdings? And then they lawyer up. I mean your

450
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 4: mom and dad, Laurier en up? Oh boy, the family men, holidays, birthdays,

451
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 4: when he has kids. If he does, I mean, you

452
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 4: got to think about everything. They're not going to be around,

453
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 4: like I don't know. Hopefully they can, they can mend

454
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 4: this back together. Money is a root of all evil guys.

455
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 4: We've all been a part of it. We've all been

456
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 4: a part of it. I've lost friendships over it. You know,

457
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 4: it's it's very hard. It brings out the worst in people,

458
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 4: and you know, you've got to always have a backup plan.

459
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 4: You got to always make sure you know where your

460
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 4: money is going through. It's hard to keep up. These

461
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 4: guys are making millions and millions of dollars, but every

462
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 4: day you got to always take ten minutes out of

463
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 4: your day just to look everything up and make sure

464
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 4: everything's going well and happen to be your mom and

465
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 4: dad allegedly part of this. Oh man, this is something

466
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 4: whether you hang out with them again or not, is

467
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 4: something that's going to be Hey, how you doing. You know,

468
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 4: but in the back of your mind, you know you're

469
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 4: not gonna be able to trust it anymore if that's

470
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 4: the case.

471
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 1: And I encourage everyone to read this.

472
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 2: I have in the chat, and some people in the

473
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 2: chat are like, damn, you're making me do homework on

474
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 2: the weekend. It's a two minute article if you go fast,

475
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 2: and it is well worth the read. And this has

476
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 2: been going back to twenty nineteen when he kind of

477
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 2: handed the keys to his parents, who were like, we'll

478
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: handle it for you. But they were just throwing things

479
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 2: at him left and right that don't look like they're real.

480
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: Oh, we need ten percent of this to open up

481
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: this LLC. Oh, it's just what you have to do.

482
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: They weren't saying like, oh, we're charging you.

483
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 2: They were like, Oh, it's just it's what we have

484
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: to do to be able to set this up. Where

485
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 2: the allegations and then within the article it says in

486
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 2: January is where this really blasted off. So Boehm asked

487
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 2: his parents to give him information about his money, his holdings,

488
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: his account statements, his login information. Right, this sounds a

489
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 2: lot like a story that broke a couple of years

490
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 2: ago about Otani, where everyone's like, no, everyone knows everything

491
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: going on. No they don't, And I get it. This

492
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: is parents versus an interpreter, but still same line of story.

493
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: And in the lawsuit, instead of showing their son his

494
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: login information to his own accounts and what do his

495
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 2: accounts look like, they immediately grabbed a lawyer who provided

496
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 2: minimal information this is from the article, and then later

497
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,719
Speaker 2: indicated they were going to bill Boem for all of

498
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 2: the time they spent to administer his affairs at a

499
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: rate of fifty dollars per hour since twenty nineteen. You

500
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: cannot make this garbage up. I mean, the parents clearly

501
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: say he is, but we're going to find out what

502
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: happens in court.

503
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: And if you read that story.

504
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 5: Who this this is just this is just his holdings,

505
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 5: This is just like money he's made. When stuff like

506
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 5: this happens, rarely are parents or family members going, hey,

507
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 5: I'm gonna come and see you. You know, we'll see

508
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,959
Speaker 5: you there. I already got my hotel. No, it's a

509
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 5: lot of like, yeah, can you give me a fly?

510
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 5: Can you give me tickets? Players can be taken advantage of.

511
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 5: And I'm saying the parents did this. I'm just saying

512
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 5: that players can be taken advantage of. And for it

513
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 5: to be at this scale where they're holding and quote

514
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 5: helping with his accounts, that just means to me there's

515
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 5: more than just the monies that they are like that

516
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 5: they're moving and manipulating and allegedly taking from him because

517
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 5: it's like, you know, hey, hey, congratulations, you made this.

518
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 5: You know we'll come to we'll be there. And it's like, well,

519
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 5: who's paying for this? I haven't seen you guys foot

520
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 5: the bill yet. And players get taken advantage of, and

521
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 5: that can really add up. We had Spencer Arraghetti on

522
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 5: he said first year, he's from Texas, so he's playing

523
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 5: in Houston. He spent twenty grand on tickets. He's like,

524
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 5: didn't even know it, million dollar watch, didn't even know it.

525
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: You know what I think of? Do you guys like

526
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: the biopics?

527
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: It's mostly in music where you see the manager take

528
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 2: advantage of the client. Of course this isn't in all cases,

529
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 2: but the point is that this happens frequently, and I

530
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 2: think for some people they look at a story like this, like, how.

531
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: Did you not know twenty nineteen Boem's a kid? You're

532
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: 't during the Biggs. I know you got to grow

533
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: up fast, but there's a lot coming at you.

534
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: You're playing major League Baseball games every day. You think

535
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 2: your parents are going to help you out. But Elvis, Queen,

536
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 2: Elton John, all of those movies have a similar narrative

537
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 2: where there was somebody that was taking advantage of them.

538
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 2: I want to spend this forward, Codfather. This is going

539
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: on for Alec opening day of the season, Philly's win,

540
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 2: fricking party, Weather looked good, Schwarber Appohomer, same with Boem,

541
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: Sanchez with his new money pitching. Well, how does Boem concentrate?

542
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: I mean, clearly it didn't affect him for day one,

543
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: and it's been a thing for I guess years now.

544
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: But really coming to a head, now, can this distract you?

545
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 5: Yes?

546
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 2: Can it also be your escape for a few hours

547
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 2: where he maybe he'll play better because it's the only

548
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: time that he can really just have fun, be a

549
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 2: kid and do his thing for a few hours and

550
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 2: not worry about lawsuits.

551
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's one of those being a professional.

552
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 4: You go to the field, you know, maybe it's on

553
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 4: your mind, but once the lights come on and they're say,

554
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 4: now batting, your mind just flips. And that's in any

555
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 4: sport really, So I think your mind can go away

556
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 4: from me a little bit, maybe on the defensive side,

557
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 4: just because you're standing out there, But when you're in

558
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: the middle of the game, I feel like those two

559
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 4: and a half two hours and forty five minutes of

560
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 4: game time is your time to shine. And you know,

561
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 4: you want to be a professional baseball player a lot

562
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 4: longer then you want to be at home. So he's

563
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 4: going to work his butt off to be great, and

564
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 4: I think he's got a great opportunity for the fellies,

565
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 4: and I think he's going to have a really good year.

566
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: Yemi too. It's free agent year too, Kratz right, Massive Massive.

567
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 5: He just never want anything off the field to effect

568
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 5: on the field. And I know stress fractures are not

569
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 5: caused because of stress, but I think stress does inhibit

570
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 5: your body from recovering. So I hope he has people

571
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 5: around him. I hope he has people that can delve

572
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 5: into him and the only reprieve is at the field.

573
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 5: That would suck, you know. I hope he can get

574
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,239
Speaker 5: this resolved and get people around him so that his

575
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 5: mental space is where he needs to be to be

576
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 5: healthy and to be on the field for one hundred

577
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 5: and sixty two games.

578
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:49,119

596
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 2: I'm back the quote post game, I felt like myself

597
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 2: again out there being in center and stealing bags. It

598
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 2: was a fun win. Trout had a day. They kept walking.

599
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: Them, and then when they didn't, he made them pay.

600
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: Todd Father, we've seen this was it last year of

601
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: the year before where he got off to a banger

602
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: start and he was running and doing the whole deal.

603
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: I'm not doubting that part. And I'm I mean, I'm

604
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: actually on the other side here where Todd Father. People

605
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 2: be like, oh, Trout's washed. I'm like, nah, he's just

606
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: injury prone and the body's breaking down when he plays.

607
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: He's still a star.

608
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 3: Oh, I agree.

609
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 4: One hundred three walks, a monster home run to basically

610
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 4: win the game, to get him up one nutting in

611
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 4: the seventh inning. He looks good. He's a superstar. I

612
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 4: don't care what anybody says. Yeah, he had a couple

613
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 4: of years where you know, it hurt him. It hurt

614
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 4: him a lot, knowing that what could have been he

615
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 4: was breaking all types of records. He's on track to

616
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 4: break some of the oldest records alive, you know, help

617
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 4: by Mickey Mantle and all those guys. But again, he's

618
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 4: a star. He's a stud. I need him healthy for

619
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 4: the whole year, no matter what he does. A good

620
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 4: healthy Mike Trout not only gonna help himself, it's gonna

621
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 4: help the Angels and it's gonna help baseball.

622
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 3: And this is a great start for him. And if

623
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 3: he's talking.

624
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 4: About how he feels right now, sky's the limit for

625
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 4: this guy getting back to being one of the top

626
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 4: five guys in the league for sure.

627
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 5: I mean, he's not gonna sit there on opening Day

628
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 5: and go three walks in a thinger and go ooh,

629
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 5: I'm gassed. The only person that ever did that was

630
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 5: Lorenzo Kane. Lorenzo Kane first opening Day, He's like, my

631
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 5: legs are tired of my feet hurt. But no, it's good.

632
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously we got to see him out there

633
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 5: the whole year. Looked a little looked a little more spelt,

634
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 5: looked a little skinnier. I didn't I didn't read anything

635
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 5: about him losing weight. But he looks good. Maybe he

636
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 5: got that tailored, maybe got that Nike tailored fit this

637
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 5: year instead of just like the boxy one size fits

638
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 5: all jersey. But he looks good. I want to look

639
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 5: at him for one hundred and sixty two games. He'll

640
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 5: be an All Star, that's for sure.

641
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 3: Yep.

642
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's team won three nothing and Jose Soriano shut

643
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 2: down the Astros in that one. Well, I mean they

644
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: were flailing chasing knuckle curves left and right.

645
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: Soriano looked really good.

646
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 2: That's a classic name that basically nobody knows, and he

647
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 2: pitches like what a number two starter.

648
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: I would say, borderline one. I mean, he's their best starter.

649
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: But I'm saying, even on a playoff team like this

650
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 2: is a guy that would start playoff games, And maybe

651
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: this is the year that you know, he makes even

652
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: more noise because even if you're on a crappy team

653
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 2: like you can win a sy Young Award. So maybe

654
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: he puts it together this year. I wouldn't be surprised.

655
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: He's got the stuff to do it.

656
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 5: Yeah. I don't know that he's necessarily got the cy

657
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 5: Young finisher to the season, But to me, I think

658
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 5: his he was he was kind of off and on

659
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 5: hit and miss, and I felt like last year about

660
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 5: three quarters of the season, it just seemed like it

661
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 5: was like a smooth fluid. You know, you could count

662
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 5: on this guy every five days and he Yeah, he's

663
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 5: definitely one of those. He's a top five underrated pitcher

664
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 5: in the game because a lot of guys don't know

665
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 5: about him because he pitches every five days in Anaheim.

666
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: Exactly.

667
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 2: Next up, the late game last night that started a

668
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: round ten ten o'clock East Coast time, seven o'clock in Seattle.

669
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 2: The Guardians beat the Mariners, and Tanner Bybee was on

670
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: the mound to begin that game. He was not on

671
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: the mound for as long as he wanted to be.

672
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 2: He left the game with right shoulder inflammation. Never great

673
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: when you see that news. Cleveland's got some pretty solid pitching,

674
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: but it does not help when bybe leaves I mean technically,

675
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 2: I mean he gave them five innings, so it's not

676
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: I mean seventy eight pitches. Maybe he would have gone

677
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 2: one more, but it was just more about the shoulder.

678
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 2: Never good. So for Cleveland, Todd Father, they still have

679
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: a nasty bullpen. They were able to hold down the

680
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: Mariners for the most part. I think they gave up

681
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: one run, yep, one run After that point, he three

682
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: were charged.

683
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: To Bibbey's account, they won.

684
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: They showed some more pop than I expected because Chase

685
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 2: Dallatter was a dude in his first regular season game.

686
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 2: But to me, Cleveland is playing with fire this year.

687
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: It's just they've got to have a lot of things

688
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: go their way. I know we say that and then

689
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: they still met around and end up swiping the division

690
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 2: from the Tigers. But I do think that it does

691
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: eventually catch up to you when you're barely touching your

692
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 2: big league roster in the offseason.

693
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it does.

694
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 4: You know, you look at Chase the Lauder, who I

695
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 4: don't know about Kratzy, I got him as the rookie

696
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 4: of the Year over there. I think, wow, I think

697
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 4: you guys caught me off guard and I can't speak.

698
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 3: I think they will be good.

699
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 4: I don't know how great they will be, if that

700
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 4: makes any sense to you.

701
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 3: They're gonna win the game.

702
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 4: They're beating a Mariners team whose pitching staff has been

703
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 4: top notched for the past some odd years.

704
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, they beat a really good Gilbert I mean Logan Gilbert.

705
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 3: And you know.

706
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, is this the offense

707
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 4: that's gonna bring it day in and day out. We'll

708
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 4: see Jose Ramirez with a big two out or two

709
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 4: RBI double to get them, you know, in the lead

710
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 4: for good pretty much.

711
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 3: The latter had two home runs.

712
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see, but an injury like this Ah could

713
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 4: hurt him in the long run.

714
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, is Reys Hoskins gonna be able to

715
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 5: hit some dingers for him? Is you know, where are

716
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,879
Speaker 5: they gonna where are they gonna get the offense from? Where?

717
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 5: Where's that which is always the issue? Or the Tigers

718
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 5: going to collapse like they did last year? To me,

719
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 5: they're going to be chasing the Royals again this year.

720
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 5: You know, Royals took kind of a year off last year.

721
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna be better this year. And it's

722
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 5: not gonna happen without Bibby's staying healthy, without Mesek having

723
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 5: you know, a similar year that he did last year

724
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 5: down the stretch, without big truck, Big truck. Gavin Williams

725
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 5: needs to be legit SHACONI has to take the next step,

726
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 5: and I just too many things have to go right

727
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 5: for them to be a playoff team. But it's a

728
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 5: great start for them, except when Bibby goes down with shoulder.

729
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 5: If it was I don't know. You never want to

730
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 5: hear any any injuries, but shoulder inflammation you just you

731
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 5: hate to hear it for a guy, especially for a

732
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 5: guy who is locked in to be a guardian for

733
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 5: I think till twenty thirty. I think he's his extension

734
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 5: took him to twenty thirty, so you know, he's he's

735
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,479
Speaker 5: there for a while, he's he's the guy, or he's

736
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 5: one of the guys, and it's just tough to see

737
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 5: on a team. Fortunately they got the win, but hey,

738
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 5: have you hit the age where everything feels a little

739
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 5: bit more difficult the jim, yes, but everything like energy

740
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 5: crashes in the afternoon.

741
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,439
Speaker 2: You know, you might have been reading about low tee

742
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 2: and you see your doctor about it and they want

743
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: to give you basically shots every week for the rest

744
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 2: of your life. Oh cool, that sounds fun. And then

745
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 2: you dig deeper and you realize what you're signing up for,

746
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 2: and it's three grand a year to shut down your

747
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 2: body's natural production forever.

766
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 2: If there's a problem, this would be the year where

767
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 2: it's an issue.

768
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: I know.

769
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 2: And there's more to the story. You got to look

770
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 2: at peripheral numbers and all that. So the IRA wasn't

771
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: as shiny last year as it was the year before

772
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: or even the first two years really of his career,

773
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 2: but he is still looked at as one of their

774
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 2: top starters. And the extension was last spring training five

775
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,879
Speaker 2: years forty eight, which brought out at least one year

776
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: free agency, maybe two. So yeah, that takes him through

777
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 2: twenty thirty, that is correct. So they're going to make

778
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: sure that everything's good. That's a long term asset making

779
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 2: some cash with the Cleveland Guardians. Okay, next up, one

780
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 2: more debut that I did not mention towards the top,

781
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: just because I mean, unless I miss something, he didn't

782
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 2: do something crazy. Justin Crawford makes his debut yesterday for

783
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 2: the Phillies, and this was him pregame doing what he

784
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 2: apparently does before just about every game, gets to the park,

785
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,720
Speaker 2: takes a walk, takes it all in, and of course

786
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 2: does it without any socks or shoes on, no cleats,

787
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 2: just grounding. So this was Sam Jellinick tweeting. Fun fact,

788
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 2: it's not just a one off stroll for his debut.

789
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 2: He did this every day in Lehigh Valley where he

790
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 2: played there, typically right when he arrived to the park,

791
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 2: like clockwork, headphones, barefoot, warn't in tracking back, very meticulous

792
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: with his routine.

793
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 4: Did you do that Todd grounding? It's called grounding yourself.

794
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 4: I remember Noah Cindergard used to do that in Colorado.

795
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 4: I guess because the high elevations, and I don't know.

796
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 4: They say it's really good for you. So yeah, man, listen,

797
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 4: if you got a routine, stick with it. I don't

798
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 4: care if.

799
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 3: You're the young buck or you're the old veteran.

800
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,479
Speaker 4: That's what he wants to do to get going, keeps

801
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 4: getting knocks and helping his team win.

802
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 3: I might jump in and do it with him too.

803
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 5: I would do it, get it not. I mean, it's

804
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 5: it's a thing like I love that a rookie feels

805
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 5: comfortable enough in the clubhouse to be able to do that. Now,

806
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 5: it's nothing as crazy as like what Tristan Cassis was doing.

807
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 5: And sometimes that kind of stuff borders on the line

808
00:38:54,560 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 5: of distraction. But routines, routines are so important. I couldn't

809
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 5: imagine going to your big league, first big league game

810
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 5: and having to play a different position than you played

811
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 5: in the minor leagues because you don't have a routine.

812
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 5: And so his routine was he comes to the ballpark,

813
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 5: he does grounding, or he walks around on that nice

814
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 5: green painted grass because I'm up here in Philly and

815
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 5: there you no green grass right now, because that John's

816
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 5: been frozen under some snow for the whole year. But

817
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 5: he's walking around on He's walking around on it just

818
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 5: like he did in Lee High. So then his day

819
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 5: starts just like it did in Lee High. Now he

820
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 5: goes out and he's facing a pitcher on the mound

821
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 5: that's gonna throw a baseball over the plate, just like

822
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 5: he did in Lee High. If you make it bigger

823
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 5: than it is, if you make it bigger and you're like,

824
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, we're facing Jacob de Grom in the

825
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 5: second game, we faced Nathan e Valdi. That dude's got

826
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 5: unbelievable stuff. You're cooked. You're cooked because you're building it

827
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 5: up to be more than it really is.

828
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 2: The grounds crew anywhere in baseball is exceptional. They're the

829
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 2: best in the world. So you get to enjoy that.

830
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,279
Speaker 2: On the grass, I like it. You get some of

831
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 2: the freshest, most perfect manicured grass, and you get to

832
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 2: walk on it with your bare feet.

833
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: I would do that every day.

834
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 5: The grass is tremendous. I loved big lea grass. You

835
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 5: laying it, you rub your hand across it.

836
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: You know what you're gonna say, how do you walk

837
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: across the warning track with bare feet?

838
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 5: I'd be getting them stones I'd be like, oh ah,

839
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 5: and then you get to the grass and you're wiping,

840
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 5: you're wiping the dirt off, and then you're like, I

841
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 5: gotta get off the grass back into it. Maybe he's

842
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 5: got his sandals across the track, parks his sandals on

843
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 5: the grass, and then we go to business.

844
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 3: You know one field that you wouldn't do it on

845
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 3: if you can take your guess anybody.

846
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,439
Speaker 5: I can't. I can't think of it.

847
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 3: Tampa ta.

848
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 5: On turt I wouldn't hate I won't hate it. They

849
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 5: got new turf this year too, so it's it's fluffy

850
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 5: like it's fluffy like Scott's hair, that new turf. It's

851
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 5: not Maden down fluffy.

852
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 3: I have a walk on there.

853
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 5: I would welcome you here.

854
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you.

855
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 2: A couple things before we get to Pap while we

856
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 2: wait for him to call us from games yesterday, just

857
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:26,280
Speaker 2: to finish up recapping the miz shut down the White Sox.

858
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,799
Speaker 2: AJ was here with me yesterday. We were watching that

859
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 2: game fourteen to two. The Brewers look good. The White

860
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 2: Sox obviously are not going to be great, but there

861
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 2: were higher expectations for them.

862
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: It is one game Shane Smith did not pitched well.

863
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: That was my big thing Todd Father, was you know,

864
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 2: there's a lot that you can overreact to in the

865
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 2: first game of the season, but I did want to

866
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 2: see Miz control swing and miss the whole deal. Five innings,

867
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 2: a run, eleven strikeouts against an offense that was pretty

868
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 2: good the last few months of the year the White

869
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 2: Sox last year, and Murakami eventually got a home or

870
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: not off Miz but later in the game in the

871
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 2: ninth that was a bomb. But if the mizz can

872
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 2: pitch like that, that's what the Brewers need, right They

873
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 2: lost Freddy. Hopefully Woodroff stays healthy this season. Who did there, well,

874
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 2: Cheerio's hurt. That's on the position player side. But you

875
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 2: need a guy like this, who could be one of

876
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: the top arms in the leaked to put consistency together

877
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 2: in his first full season here coming up and all

878
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 2: of a sudden, it changes the narrative for the Brewers

879
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 2: and actually doesn't change the narrative. It would put them

880
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 2: in the same place where they always are, which is

881
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 2: in the playoff mix.

882
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Krasty eleven k three walks gave up.

883
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,720
Speaker 4: When you saw the game, they gave up the first

884
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 4: inning home the first at bat Homer, and I was like, oh, no,

885
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 4: here we go, that's a miss little left center. And

886
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 4: then got the next strikeout, next strikeout, and it kind

887
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 4: of simmered down after that. So you know, solo home

888
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 4: runs aren't going to beat you, but the first batter

889
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 4: giving it up, you're like, oh, man, what a start

890
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 4: to the year. But he came into his own and

891
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 4: threw really really well. What a presence, What a presence

892
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 4: him on the mound, man, Just the height, the length

893
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 4: when he finishes, he's like forty five feet from home plate.

894
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 4: So if this is where he's going, this is where

895
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 4: he has to be really really good things for Milwaukee.

896
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I don't hate their rotation. I think

897
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 5: their rotation can do a lot of great things. When

898
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 5: you talk about Big WU, you talk about sprot you

899
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 5: talk about what could Kyle Harrison do. If there's a

900
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,760
Speaker 5: place that's not turned guy's careers around but really gotten

901
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 5: them closer to their ceiling, it's Milwaukee. But also you've

902
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 5: sat there and you've had the last few years. You've

903
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 5: had Big WU, You've had freddie p, you've had Corbin Burns,

904
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 5: Guys that had high ceilings, But had they been somewhere else,

905
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 5: they would have done the same thing. To me, it's

906
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 5: about health for this team. If you look at the

907
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 5: fact that you know Roberts on the DL, Logan Henderson's

908
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 5: on the d L, the fact that iol I'm sorry il,

909
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 5: the fact that DL Hall a guy that they had

910
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 5: expected when he came over in the Corbyn Burns trade

911
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 5: to kind of be one of those reclamation projects. Well

912
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 5: now he's in the bullpen currently. Could he be a

913
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 5: starter again? He needs to stay healthy. They need to

914
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 5: stay healthy for them to do what they've done. But

915
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 5: then again, I sit there and I go, they've had

916
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,479
Speaker 5: injuries every year, they've lost, they've lost aces, they've lost

917
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 5: closers or gotten rid of them, not lost them, gotten

918
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 5: rid of them, And all of a sudden, there they

919
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 5: are in the playoffs again. So what it is that

920
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 5: the Brewers do? They just figure out how to win.

921
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 5: But is this bad because they won fourteen to two

922
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 5: on opening Day and they got molly wopped last year

923
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,800
Speaker 5: on opening day in the whole opening series by the

924
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 5: illegal torpedo bats? So is this the opposite reaction? We'll

925
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 5: wait and see.

926
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: One thing.

927
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:16,600

Speaker 4: and enjoyed life.

943
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, sixteen seasons in the Big Oh. When he first

944
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 2: came up, we already knew that he was a super

945
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 2: athlete and he was a great defender, and so then

946
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: we were like the bat. There was a lot of

947
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 2: variants throughout his career, right, and he was always tweaking

948
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 2: and trying to figure out what would get his swing

949
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 2: to the right place. But even through all of that,

950
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 2: he was so good defensively that he always had a

951
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 2: spot that was the thing.

952
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 5: They both came up around the same time. I think

953
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 5: it was very close, Freddy Freeman Jason Hayward, and they

954
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 5: were like, one guy is this type of player? Another

955
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 5: guy is this type of player? And people were like,

956
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 5: I don't know, you know, Jason Hayward ridiculous. He runs

957
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 5: like a deer in the outfield. Freddy Freeman's a first baseman.

958
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,200
Speaker 5: Who's going to have the better career? I remember those

959
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 5: discussions and they both broke into the scene popping. Freddie

960
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 5: Freeman had some big dingers against Roy Holiday, so it

961
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 5: was cool to see now where the careers are.

962
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 2: Yep, Freddy's still going, probably for several more years. He

963
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: wants to all right, enjoy the weekend, the games crats
