WEBVTT - 2025 MLB Season Predictions!

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Did you just spread a rumor about Bryan Snicker maybe

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:05.880
<v Speaker 1>retiring after this year because you did say that?

0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Did you say that to you? I didn't hear that.

0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:16.799
<v Speaker 2>All right, here we are Atti, Famu craps. Can you

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:17.919
<v Speaker 2>run through this for us?

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:22.079
<v Speaker 1>You saw yesterday the top hitters or in baseball in

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.279
<v Speaker 1>the next five years or five years from now from

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Aiak Chatch ept bet MGM gave us the top ten

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>pitchers in five years, So give us one through ten

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>real quick.

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:32.920
<v Speaker 2>For the podcraft listening later.

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.879
<v Speaker 3>Those Pulse games still in the pirates, so they've obviously

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:41.200
<v Speaker 3>gotten that wrong. Rokie Sasaki, Hunter Green going to the Yankees,

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 3>Andrew Paynter, Trek Scoogle, Brandon Sprout, George Kirby, Noah Schultz,

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Garrett Crochet, and ten Chase Dolander. Somehow Jackson Joe got

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 3>missed by GPT.

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 4>I don't hey, listen. I think the Hunter Green is

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 4>spot on. He's gonna be a Yankee.

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be a part.

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you are listens still about me. I can get

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.119
<v Speaker 4>away with a couple of things. I don't think that's

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 4>wrong at all. So I think they're spot on with

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 4>that one.

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Do you think Skeins will be one.

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:26.680
<v Speaker 5>Aj Uh yeah, I mean probably if he stays healthy.

0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:28.759
<v Speaker 5>I think he should be. He's got the stuff, he's

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 5>got the ability to do it, and he probably won't

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 5>be in Pittsburgh in five years. So yeah, like krat said,

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:35.319
<v Speaker 5>they probably got the team wrong.

0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Is there one on this list do you think is

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>missing or one on this list where you're like, hey,

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>that might be a stretch.

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 5>Well, my my my thing is Noah Schultz. No Schultz

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 5>is what seven, He's never pitched, He's been third year

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 5>pro ball. He's never pitched into a fifth inning. He's

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 5>never pitched in a fifth inning. Explain that to me

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 5>how you're gonna be a starting pitcher. You're three years

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 5>in your career and you haven't thrown a fifth inning yet.

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 6>I don't understand that one not good. That one's far

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 6>in goods. Not making up stats either, he's not. I

0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 6>mean Jackson Joe's breaking with the team this year. I

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 6>feel like Jackson job should be going.

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 3>There and since we're in Cincinnati, if he ever figures

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 3>it out, and I think I see a big breakout

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 3>year from him this year because he's just so funky

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 3>and the gale Up's easy.

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 7>To him, Mick Dolo, I feel like.

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 3>Lefties just like the age is just like, oh here,

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 3>I'll just sling it up there with this massive breaking

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 3>ball that goes from the lefty box to the righty box.

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Like to me, Nick Widolo's probably not in the top ten,

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 3>but he needs to be talked about.

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there you go.

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Here we go the moment you've been waiting for a

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 1>chance to make fun of our season predictions. AJ is

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna go first. I'm gonna run through just the team

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>side of things. I want who's winning divisions, i want

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 1>wild cards, and then just who's in the World Series

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and who wins and then you know, pick out one

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>or two things you think stand out.

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:56.519
<v Speaker 2>We don't.

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>We don't need help on you know, the Dodgers winning

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the West, if that's what you got, but give us

0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>the list.

0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:04.959
<v Speaker 5>Uh, all right, Well, Dodgers obviously win in the West.

0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 5>In the NL, I got the Cubs in the Central.

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 7>It's tough. That's a tough pick for me.

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 7>And then the Phillies Trouts will be happy with me.

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 7>In the East.

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 5>American League was a little more difficult, but I'm taking

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 5>because we did power rankings.

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.200
<v Speaker 7>You know, a couple of days ago and haven't changed yet. Uh,

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 7>the Red Sox in the East.

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 5>Surprisingly, I'm gonna go Tigers in the Central, and then

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 5>the Rangers in the West, and then my ale champ

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 5>is the Red Sox, and we're gonna have a Boston

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.520
<v Speaker 5>Bean Eater party because the Braves are the NL champs,

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:33.320
<v Speaker 5>and the Braves.

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 8>Win it all.

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 7>Because I didn't want to pick the.

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Boom there it isn't.

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad to pick my Phillies too, by the way.

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 3>Uh for me, I'm gonna start in the American League.

0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go the Orioles are winning the East, the

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 3>Royals are winning the Central. Homer ten year anniversary of

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 3>them winning the World Series. Al West is also the Rangers,

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 3>and I got first wild card Yankees Red SOI is

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 3>my third wild card. And then in the National League,

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 3>I got Phillies in the East, Reds in the Central,

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 3>and the Braves, Diamondbacks and Mets in that order for

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 3>the wild card. And I got the Phillies beating the

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 3>Orioles in the World Series.

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I think the Oriols are gonna pick up a pitcher

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:21.800
<v Speaker 1>or you're just rolling with the staff they have.

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm rolling with another year of this lineup just getting

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 3>better and better.

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 4>That spot on right there, that guy on the screen,

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.320
<v Speaker 4>because some of his picks are like, WHOA out of

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:33.799
<v Speaker 4>this world?

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:38.280
<v Speaker 9>Not not correct? What don't you like the Orioles? I don't.

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 9>I don't see that happening whatsoever?

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Which part them all making it to all of it? Yeah,

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 2>well let's let's get yours.

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 9>Then.

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Do you think they're even making the playoffs? Or you

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 2>got them out?

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 9>I don't have them making the playoffs?

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 2>All right? What do you got?

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 4>So?

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.719
<v Speaker 9>Not trying to crush you here, Eric?

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 4>You know how I am like al least I got

0:04:56.120 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 4>the Yankees still doing their thing. The Central Detroit aj Hinches, Beasts,

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:05.640
<v Speaker 4>Al West, Texas, Rangers, Boston, Seattle, Cleveland as the wildcard picks,

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 4>top seed would be the Rangers, NL East. Kratzi you

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 4>like this, I'd picked the Phillies.

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 9>I got the very.

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:15.800
<v Speaker 4>Own Cincinnati Reds here winning the Central, the Dodgers in

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 4>the West, the Braves, the Padres in Milwaukee. Milwaukee as

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 4>the wild card, Dodgers is the top seed and the

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.119
<v Speaker 4>Rangers is the top seed. I'm picking the Dodgers over

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 4>the Rangers. Dodgers back to back.

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:36.040
<v Speaker 2>I love it. Wow, wait hold out, no Mets.

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 9>No Mets.

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't see it. I don't making the playoffs.

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 4>No, I don't with the pitching staff right now, I

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 4>just don't. I don't see them getting over the hull.

0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm so to well, I'm so he's gonna have a

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 4>great year, but I don't see.

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 9>It right now.

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Danny, Yeah so too, can't pitch either, so.

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.040
<v Speaker 10>But yeah, so I'm also not going with the Mets,

0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 10>in case anybody wanted to know.

0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 2>So my Ale East Champ, I go, I gotta go

0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:02.560
<v Speaker 2>with the Yankees.

0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 10>With that, the Royals win in the AL Central, the

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 10>AL West, the Rangers because Bruce Bochie wins every other year.

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 10>And let's see Al wild wild Cards. I got red Sox, Orioles,

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 10>and Mariners in that order. Top seed is the Rangers

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.600
<v Speaker 10>and at least champ or I got the Phillies the Central.

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 10>It just tasted like Razors saying this, but the Cubs

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 10>are gonna win the Central.

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:28.720
<v Speaker 2>The Dodgers went in.

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 10>The West, but I got Braves, Reds, and d Backs

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 10>for the wild Cards. Top seed in the National League

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 10>the Dodgers, Ale Champ, the Rangers, NL Champ Dodgers. I

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.839
<v Speaker 10>wanted the Phillies cratzy, but I kept looking at that

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:45.520
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers lineup, so I gotta go with the Dodgers winning

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 10>the worlds.

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:45.960

0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll go Ali's champ. I'm rolling with the Red Sox

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Ale Central. I've got the Tigers. I think they're gonna

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>have a big year. I really like their rotation Al West.

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll do the Rangers, which a lot of people are

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 1>into for me. On the Wildcards, I really like the

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Royals still. I think the lineup's gonna be better. I

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>think the pitching's great. I got the Orioles making it

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 1>into the playoffs as a wildcard two seed.

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.840
<v Speaker 2>I got the Yankees out too much pitching missing for me.

0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.679
<v Speaker 1>The Sorcerer also says that the Ashers sneak in a

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>wildcard spot.

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.880
<v Speaker 2>They always make the playoffs. That Wizard has a great beard.

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>The Tigers as the top seed in the AL, but

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>they don't end up making it to the World Series.

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I'll get to that in a sec. Philly's winning, the

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 2>East Brewers winning the Central Crats.

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I was going back and forth on this, and I'm like,

0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what, and this will play unto awards later

0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 1>on Churio. I think Hoskins is gonna have a bounce

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>back year. They lost a Domis. I think they're starting

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>rotation is actually better this year. So I got them

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:18.200
<v Speaker 1>winning the Division. Dodgers obviously, and then my wild cards, Braves, Diamondbacks, Mets.

0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm very high on all three of those teams. I

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.640
<v Speaker 1>think all three of them have a good chance to

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 1>take down the Dodgers, who would get the top seed

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>in the NL. But I have the Dodgers not making

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.080
<v Speaker 1>it to the World Series. I just can't do the

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 1>hangover pick, so I'll go Diamondbacks, Royals, the MLB Dream,

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the Fox Dream, AJ Royals, d Backs. So that everybody

0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.439
<v Speaker 1>can shut the heck up about being complainers that it's

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.320
<v Speaker 1>only about the big markets.

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 2>And the Diamondbacks beat.

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>The Royals in the World Series, who both play a

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>brand of ball that I think fits the modern game

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.719
<v Speaker 1>right now, don't you think it would shut a lot

0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:53.280
<v Speaker 1>of people up.

0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:59.520
<v Speaker 5>Of course it's not gonna happen, but I like her pos.

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:02.600
<v Speaker 5>I mean, that might be the worst World Series pick

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 5>I've ever seen.

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.160
<v Speaker 4>I would have to agree with it. I don't see

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 4>the diamond.

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 5>I picked the Diamondbacks to be good, but I didn't.

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.600
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I'm not picking them to win the World Series.

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 9>But guess what, you never know. That's why they're picks craps.

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 1>They won eighty nine games last year, best offense in

0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 1>baseball last year. Corbyn Kyle was a shell of himself

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 1>until the last couple of months of the year.

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 2>He's going to bounce back.

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>They made some pickups in the offseason, including the top starter.

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 2>That was available in Corbyn Burns. I don't think it's crazy.

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm on team Scott on this one. I don't think

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 3>it's that crazy.

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, appreciate you, all right, and let's finish with no, no, no.

0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:49.680
<v Speaker 7>The Diamondbacks are not the problem. In this pick here. Okay,

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.079
<v Speaker 7>like the Diamondbacks Dimondbacks.

0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 5>No, I said, I picked the Diamondbacks to be good.

0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 7>I just said they're not going to win the World Series.

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 5>But the other side we didn't even You guys are

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 5>all about the diamond What about the Royals?

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 7>But I mean the Royals? Okay, fine, I get it,

0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.440
<v Speaker 7>but it's not a good pitch.

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 2>They made it to the Alds last year.

0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>I liked their offseason as well, including the India pick up.

0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a chance they pick up one more

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>bad at the deadline, like a Luis Robert Jr. They've

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 1>been adding the last couple of years, like Reagan's as

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the Ace.

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 7>White Sox don't train in the division, Scott.

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>That might have to change. That might have to change.

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Otherwise Robert goes to the Reds, and fans here will

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.839
<v Speaker 1>be happy. All right, let's finish with out of the

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:39.720
<v Speaker 1>park Baseball's pick, since they're more accurate than basically anything

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.680
<v Speaker 1>else that's publicly out there over the last several years.

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 1>So let's do this. My eyes are difficult here, but

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:46.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll do my best.

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 2>Right, I got it.

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Al, they've got the wildcard teams as the Blue Jays. Wow,

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.319
<v Speaker 1>the Blue Jays, the Astros and the Rays.

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Division winners, Yankees, Rangers, Twins.

0:11:58.000 --> 0:11:59.840
<v Speaker 1>And then on the other side they've got the Phillies,

0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Me and Padres as wild Cards, division winners, Dodgers, Braves, Cubs,

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 1>and I'll skip to the World Series where they have

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the Braves taking down the Yankees.

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything that we would like to make fun

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>of here?

0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I guess you picked the Braves to win the

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.720
<v Speaker 5>World too, this guy so yeah, not the Royals, the Bridge.

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 7>I love how the park baseball.

0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, and they let you win against me a couple

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 9>of years ago. I remember that.

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 7>See whatever it takes.

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 2>What about the Blue Jays on there? The Rays or

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:32.120
<v Speaker 2>the Rays?

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, we got to figure out when they did this.

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:39.080
<v Speaker 1>So they did it this morning, Davey. They there's no simulation.

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>It's the best sim game out there.

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 4>Is why baseball is the best. Every prediction we still

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.439
<v Speaker 4>don't know. We can make fun of anybody's predictions, but

0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 4>one of us is gonna hopefully one of us is

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 4>gonna come true.

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I don't think the Rays are a bad team.

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they've got good pitching crats. You have any

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:53.840
<v Speaker 1>problems on there?

0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Uh, the Rays is my biggest issue. The Rays, Like,

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't see mcclanahan's gonna miss time.

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 7>You know, other dudes are gonna miss time. That's just

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 7>what the Rays do.

0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 3>They got rid of Jeff Springs, they got you know,

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.520
<v Speaker 3>they just to me, I don't think they have the

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 3>depth that they used to have. And hey, they can,

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 3>they can surprise me, but the East is gonna be

0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 3>a beast. The Blue Jays surprised me less, just because

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 3>I think there's a lot of potential in that lineup

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.320
<v Speaker 3>and they still have a few good rotation pieces. I

0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:29.440
<v Speaker 3>know they've lost Kakuchie, who wasn't actually doing awesome for him,

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.400
<v Speaker 3>another year of Bowden.

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:38.839
<v Speaker 1>Who knows Buden Francis now in Francis Sorry, Okay, no,

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:40.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's fine. I just feel like he was

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.680
<v Speaker 1>really good for the last month and a half of

0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the season, but we still got to give him the

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:45.880
<v Speaker 1>first and last name. I don't I don't feel like

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.319
<v Speaker 1>we have him on a He's not Ellie yet.

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's not Judge.

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:51.080
<v Speaker 7>That's fair.

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I like him with you it's a unique name. Yeah.

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 2>The Blue Jays had a nice offseason.

0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like they get picked on because they didn't

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 1>land the big boys the last couple of years, but

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 1>they did a lot. I mean, we got to see

0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.560
<v Speaker 1>how how Shus is doing with the what is it

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:07.319
<v Speaker 1>the thumb now?

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 4>I think I think the black grow junior thing takes

0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:12.280
<v Speaker 4>precedence over everything because they didn't sign him.

0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Is that good or bad?

0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:13.520
<v Speaker 9>Though?

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 4>I see to me it's good for this year because

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 4>he's pissed off. Yeah, I know, I that's a great

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 4>way of putting it. I agree with that. But you

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.200
<v Speaker 4>know that's all you're thinking about, and you figured about

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 4>the guys that they signed and picked up, that's all.

0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Bobachette bounced back, yere. I like Anthony Santander a lot.

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 1>That's who I think the Orioles are going to really

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 1>miss too in the lineup, but they've got plenty of

0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>young talent.

0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 2>Here we go.

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Part two of our season predictions involves individual awards.

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna start with Air Kratz.

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Kratz, would you like to run through who you've got

0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and you obviously give us a little bit of detail

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:54.240
<v Speaker 1>on a few that stand out.

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 3>One one I went out of the out of the

0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 3>box because I didn't really like the other for the

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.960
<v Speaker 3>American League Rookie of the Year, so I went Christian Moore.

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.440
<v Speaker 3>He was actually gonna be called up in September last year,

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.120
<v Speaker 3>didn't get the opportunity because of an injury. He'll be

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 3>up ston little service time manipulation unless he wins Rookie

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 3>of the Year, which I think he's going to. Dylan Cruz.

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:24.200
<v Speaker 3>To me, there's like it's a lock. I get it

0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 3>rookies in the National League, but I don't know the

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 3>rookie's gonna get enough innings still, and Cruise is gonna

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:33.360
<v Speaker 3>play every day. Macqutruro Manager of the Year because I

0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 3>have the Royals winning the Al Central.

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 7>I could have won it last year.

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Tito is gonna win the Terry Francona and l Manager

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 3>of the Year because the Reds are gonna win the Central.

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Logan Gilbert American League, Cy Young, Zach Wheeler, Bobby Witt

0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 3>is the American League MVP, and in the National League MVP,

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 3>I got Bryce Harper because he's gonna lead the Phillies

0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 3>to like I said, the World Series, a Ron Judge

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.880
<v Speaker 3>will be the home run leader for Major League Baseball,

0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:05.120
<v Speaker 3>but fall short in the MVP voting to Bobby Witt

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 3>show Hey. Last year he went through a stretch where

0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 3>he was like nine for nine or eleven for eleven

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.360
<v Speaker 3>with runners in scoring position. I think hitting more. He

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:17.760
<v Speaker 3>started to unlock what it means to hit with runners

0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 3>of scoring position. Stolen Base Leader Ellie, He's gonna learn

0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 3>to steal bases eighty five. Paul Skeins will lead the

0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 3>American League, I mean the Major League Baseball in era.

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.280
<v Speaker 3>He'll miss a few starts though, so that's why I'm

0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 3>not picking him as the cy Young Saves Leader. Devin Williams,

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:37.920
<v Speaker 3>the Yankee is gonna be a good team. He'll save

0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.040
<v Speaker 3>all their games. Strikeout Leader went to a new team

0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.240
<v Speaker 3>who unlocks normal dudes and strikeouts.

0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.200
<v Speaker 7>Blake Snell is not.

0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 3>A normal dude, and he's going to be unlocked in

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:53.120
<v Speaker 3>the Strikeout Leader. I thought Crochet maybe, but I don't know.

0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 3>Maybe he only makes twenty eight twenty nine starts.

0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Ft fam Legends never die. That is the motto for Homage.

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Go to Homage dot com and get yourself maybe one

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 1>of these teas. This was one of my favorites from

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:11.159
<v Speaker 1>spring training. Got a little Grapefruit League action, nice iconic

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 1>looking logo and behind me on the back is all

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.320

<v Speaker 2>You got.

0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Of course, if you're more of an Arizona person, you've

0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 1>got the T shirt for that too. But Kratz, I

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.320
<v Speaker 1>just love the way that they give you the highest

0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.920
<v Speaker 1>quality material and then a little vintage action if you're

0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:28.560
<v Speaker 1>looking for it.

0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 7>I love the vintage.

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 3>I've been a baseball fan my whole life, and teams

0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:36.120
<v Speaker 3>change their logos. If you're looking for a logo that

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 3>your team used to have, Homage is your place to go.

0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 3>Go cop one of the old logos from the major

0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 3>league teams that maybe they don't use anymore.

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Homage dot com slash foul Territory. Go to the

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.200

<v Speaker 1>first time purchaser on the website, go check it out FTFAM.

0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:01.160
<v Speaker 10>All right, so let's go with mine for American League

0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:04.520
<v Speaker 10>Brookie of the Year. I'm going with Cam Smith made

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 10>the team out of spring training, only thirty two minor

0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:08.280
<v Speaker 10>league games.

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:08.680
<v Speaker 9>That he's played.

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 2>But this dude's legit.

0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.960
<v Speaker 10>He doesn't strike out. He's an on base machine. A

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:14.280
<v Speaker 10>hits ball out of the ballpark.

0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm with theocratzy on the National League Brook of the

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 2>Year Dylan Cruz.

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.520
<v Speaker 10>I really don't think anybody else is close to Saki.

0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:24.240
<v Speaker 10>Might not be able to have many innings or many starts.

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.360
<v Speaker 2>They're so deep with the Dodgers. Who knows if they're

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 2>gonna give him some time off.

0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.120
<v Speaker 10>Ale Manager of the Year Bruce Bochie, because that's who

0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.960
<v Speaker 10>I said earlier, is going to win the West or

0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.840
<v Speaker 10>when the American League and they're gonna you know, he

0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:41.800
<v Speaker 10>wins every other year, So Bochi's the guy.

0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Nation League Manager of the Year Tito Francona.

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:46.560
<v Speaker 10>This team is gonna make it to the playoffs because

0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 10>of Tito Ale Cy Young, kerk Scougle the best pitcher

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:50.640
<v Speaker 10>in baseball.

0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 2>That's an easy one for me. Nationh League sy Young.

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:56.000
<v Speaker 10>I thought about schemes, but kind of the fact that

0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.560
<v Speaker 10>if not if when the Pirates are out of the race,

0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:03.000
<v Speaker 10>are they gonna take care of schemes and kind of

0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:07.879
<v Speaker 10>lessen his workload. So my pick is Zach Wheeler for

0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:11.399
<v Speaker 10>Nation League, Cy Young, American League MVP, Bobby Witt Junior

0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:13.720
<v Speaker 10>National League g m VP. I have to stick with

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.320
<v Speaker 10>show Hey, major League home run leader. I'm gonna stick

0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:18.680
<v Speaker 10>with show Hey with that again.

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:19.560
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.600
<v Speaker 10>The Major League ARBI leader will be Aaron Judge. Stolen

0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 10>based leader, Elie de la Cruz.

0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.719
<v Speaker 2>That's easy. He led the league last year, led all

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:28.040
<v Speaker 2>of baseball. He's gonna do it again.

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:33.160
<v Speaker 10>Ere A leader for major leagues is Tarrek Spoogle Major

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.639
<v Speaker 10>League saves leader, Tanner Scott. I have him because the

0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:37.440
<v Speaker 10>Dodgers is gonna win a ton of games. He's gonna

0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 10>get a ton of opportunities. And the Major League Baseball

0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:43.360
<v Speaker 10>strikeout leader, best pitch on the planet, Trek Spooble.

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:46.960
<v Speaker 9>All right, Well, you.

0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:48.920
<v Speaker 7>Know what's funny is we haven't even looked at these

0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 7>and we.

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:51.440
<v Speaker 5>All have a lot of the same ones. So I'm

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:54.200
<v Speaker 5>gonna start a well, Nashalage Rookie the Year, Dylan Cruz.

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 5>So far everyone's picked him. Why he's from Orlando, so

0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 5>why not. You gotta pick guys from Orlando. Win My

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 5>Ale Rookie of the Year Christian Campbell because I think

0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:06.119
<v Speaker 5>he's on a big market team. He's gonna get plenty

0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.080
<v Speaker 5>of opportunities. And I picked the Red Sox to go

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.080
<v Speaker 5>the World Series. I think he comes out, he's gonna

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:11.640
<v Speaker 5>be the right hand power of the Red Sox. Need

0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:15.000
<v Speaker 5>Ale Manager of the Year. I'm picking a friend, Mark Kottsee,

0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:17.360
<v Speaker 5>just because I picked the A's to be a sleeper team.

0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 5>I think they're gonna be better. I think I love Katte,

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.800
<v Speaker 5>I love his folded hat. I think they're gonna be good.

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.720
<v Speaker 5>NL manager Brian Snicker, I think it's his last year.

0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:26.159
<v Speaker 5>Did he come out and say it's as possibly his

0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:28.199
<v Speaker 5>last year? So I think he's gonna go out on top.

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.280
<v Speaker 5>Picked him to win the World Series, So therefore Snitt

0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:31.840
<v Speaker 5>I was there when you win your first game.

0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 7>Hopefully I'll be there when you win your last game.

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 7>Al Cy Young.

0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:37.040
<v Speaker 5>A little bit off the board, Scott All love this

0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:39.760
<v Speaker 5>logan Gilbert. I think he pitches a lot. He pitches

0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:40.400
<v Speaker 5>deep into.

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:42.320
<v Speaker 7>Games, he gets a ton of strikeouts, and I just

0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:44.520
<v Speaker 7>think he's gonna have a great year. I think Schooble's

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 7>not gonna be as good.

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:47.439
<v Speaker 5>It's always hard to win back to back Cy Young's

0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:49.119
<v Speaker 5>because you almost have to be better than you were

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:49.640
<v Speaker 5>the year before.

0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:51.000
<v Speaker 7>It's tough for schoobl.

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 5>NL, say Young, Zach Wheeler, I think we're three for

0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 5>three on that one too, just because I think some

0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:57.320
<v Speaker 5>other guys are gonna be arrested. Dodgers guys aren't gonna

0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.400
<v Speaker 5>pitch enough. Wheeler takes the ball of your fifth day,

0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:02.160
<v Speaker 5>all right, al MVP, Bobby Wood Junior, he just does

0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:04.080
<v Speaker 5>it all and an m O m v P. I

0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:06.400
<v Speaker 5>can't go without show Hey until someone proves me wrong.

0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:09.159
<v Speaker 5>Show Hay's gonna win the MVP every year unless somebody

0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:10.000
<v Speaker 5>has a historic here.

0:21:10.040 --> 0:21:11.639
<v Speaker 7>Somebody please prove me wrong in that one.

0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:14.640
<v Speaker 5>All right, mL home run leader, krat you love this one,

0:21:14.680 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 5>Kyle Schwarb or why contract here?

0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:17.320
<v Speaker 7>Last year?

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:19.800
<v Speaker 5>Look at his numbers twenty three and twenty two, how

0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:21.919
<v Speaker 5>many homers he hits. I think show Hayes numbers are

0:21:21.920 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 5>gonna be down a little bit because he's gonna be

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:25.760
<v Speaker 5>trying to pitch. So I think Schwarbs has a big year.

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:28.119
<v Speaker 5>Plus he came on our show with the cutoff sleeve.

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 5>So I love that RBI leader Vlad Guerrero Junior because

0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:33.480
<v Speaker 5>he's in a contract year. He's gonna be want to

0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:35.320
<v Speaker 5>get paid, so he's gonna be swinging at everything out

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:38.040
<v Speaker 5>of the zone, especially with dudes on bass stolen base

0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:40.160
<v Speaker 5>easy Ellie Scott, I know you love him.

0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:40.280
<v Speaker 3>Here.

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:42.480
<v Speaker 7>I still have your cards here, Scott here, thank you?

0:21:43.240 --> 0:21:48.919
<v Speaker 7>Go reds are watch Scott, No, don't do that.

0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 8>What I have another one right here. I know I'm

0:21:58.800 --> 0:21:59.680
<v Speaker 8>gonna put him my hat here.

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:04.200
<v Speaker 5>Watch e R Logan Gilbert because I got him winning

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 5>the cy Young Uh saves class A. Because I think

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:08.440
<v Speaker 5>the Guardians played a ton of close games. I don't

0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:11.040
<v Speaker 5>have a huge offense. He's gonna be awesome again. Skate

0:22:11.200 --> 0:22:13.040
<v Speaker 5>uh strikeouts, Trek Scoogle.

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:15.119
<v Speaker 7>There you have it. I think we're pretty similar on

0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:15.760
<v Speaker 7>most of these.

0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I've got some similarities too. But okay, a couple

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:21.879
<v Speaker 1>of things. First of all, a J can you flip

0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:23.359
<v Speaker 1>the card at least if you're gonna put in your

0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 1>hat so we can see mister de la Cruz who's

0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:28.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna lead the world.

0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:30.640
<v Speaker 2>In stolen base is nice? Thank you?

0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Also, did you just spread a rumor about Brian Snicker

0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe retiring after this year.

0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:36.720
<v Speaker 9>Because he didn't say that?

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Did he say that to you? I didn't hear that, oh,

0:22:38.600 --> 0:22:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I asked.

0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:40.680
<v Speaker 7>I don't know. I don't know. I didn't. I thought

0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:43.719
<v Speaker 7>I heard that. I'm probably wrong, but I don't know.

0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if he wins the World Series, maybe he stops,

0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:47.080
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know.

0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I think, I mean, he got a good gig.

0:22:49.280 --> 0:22:51.159
<v Speaker 5>I thought I read something where Snit said, you know,

0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 5>I'm getting older in age, and I don't know.

0:22:52.840 --> 0:22:54.200
<v Speaker 7>I'm probably wrong, but that's fine.

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Everybody that's yeah, everyone on the Braves is signed for life.

0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:02.400
<v Speaker 1>You have to be there for until you croak, So

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:05.919
<v Speaker 1>Snit okunya Olsen everybody. But yeah, I mean, if they

0:23:05.960 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 1>win the World Series, maybe he stops. But otherwise I

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:10.800
<v Speaker 1>don't know. We'll see. We can ask him next time

0:23:10.800 --> 0:23:12.960
<v Speaker 1>we have him on. All right, I'll run through mind quick.

0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.560
<v Speaker 1>A lot of similarities here. I got cam Smith Rookie

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:17.159
<v Speaker 1>of the Year. I know that was at least one

0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:20.880
<v Speaker 1>or two of yours. Position players often get this award.

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I know Skeans obviously got it last year, but outlier

0:23:23.680 --> 0:23:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Cruz on the National league side, I'm going chopped there.

0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Aj hinchrail Manager of the Year.

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:30.120
<v Speaker 1>If I'm picking the Tigers that have the best record

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 1>in the American League, he's gonna win it, and I

0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:34.879
<v Speaker 1>think he does add wins to a team. Here's the

0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:38.399
<v Speaker 1>big one for Kratz. Back to back manager of the

0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Year champ Pat Murphy. If the Brewers run away with

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.760
<v Speaker 1>the Central, I think there's a chance he wins it again.

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:47.520
<v Speaker 2>And also he's plus fifteen hundred.

0:23:47.359 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 1>For that award, so just throwing it out there. AJ

0:23:50.880 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I got Logan Gilbert right back at you for SI.

0:23:53.200 --> 0:23:54.480
<v Speaker 1>That seems to be a sexy pick.

0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:56.200
<v Speaker 2>My sleeper for that one's Hunter Brown.

0:23:56.240 --> 0:23:58.119
<v Speaker 1>I was close, and I still don't feel great that

0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I switched on it. Zach Wheeler just like you as well.

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 1>For NL side, Just think he's the safest pick there.

0:24:05.080 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Writers are desperately desperately looking for Bobby Wit to do

0:24:08.520 --> 0:24:10.680
<v Speaker 1>what he did again last year and then vote him

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 1>for MVP Ellie for MVP on the National League side,

0:24:13.920 --> 0:24:16.879
<v Speaker 1>which is a cool plus eighteen hundred home run leaders.

0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:20.040
<v Speaker 1>This is also a wild one, Brent Rooker, because I

0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:22.919
<v Speaker 1>think there's a chance that Sacramento plays like a freaking

0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>hitters bonanza, so I'll take that chance.

0:24:26.040 --> 0:24:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, he's got long odds for it as well.

0:24:28.280 --> 0:24:31.360
<v Speaker 1>RBI leader Pete Alonzo with Soto in front of him

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:33.480
<v Speaker 1>right Soda is gonna be on base half the time

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:36.000
<v Speaker 1>this year as usual. I think that'll help Pete pize'z

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:39.560
<v Speaker 1>a good RBI guy. Ellie for stolen based leader, obviously,

0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:42.959
<v Speaker 1>eer A leader, Gilbert k leader, Gilbert. I mean, if

0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:45.040
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna have a year, have a year, and Seattle

0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:46.200
<v Speaker 1>still is the toughest.

0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Ballpark by far for hitters.

0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:50.120
<v Speaker 1>And then I'll got Class A for saves leader because

0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland's gonna play a lot of close games.

0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:52.960
<v Speaker 2>You're up.

0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 5>Hold on, Scott, before we go, let me let me

0:24:56.160 --> 0:25:00.960
<v Speaker 5>clarify my Snicker comments. Our own Ken Rosenthal said the

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:04.159
<v Speaker 5>Braves are in the last year and suggested Snyder Snicker

0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:07.360
<v Speaker 5>could transition into a front office role within the Braves organization.

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:10.280
<v Speaker 5>John Haymon decent chance Snicker retires because it's the final

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:12.600
<v Speaker 5>year of his contract. There's been a lot of speculation.

0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:15.000
<v Speaker 5>So I wasn't wrong, Scott. So I'm gonna take your

0:25:15.000 --> 0:25:16.400
<v Speaker 5>Ellie Carter bend it some more.

0:25:16.440 --> 0:25:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Now you weren't wrong, But I still think he's coming

0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:20.880
<v Speaker 2>back next year.

0:25:20.920 --> 0:25:21.600
<v Speaker 9>But you weren't wrong.

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:23.159
<v Speaker 2>That's too good of a job to pass up.

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:25.880
<v Speaker 9>But okay, that's fair coming back somewhere and some bread.

0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:29.280
<v Speaker 2>He's coming back. Yes, I'll round.

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:31.560
<v Speaker 4>It off here. Now, nobody said this, Al rookie. The

0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:33.720
<v Speaker 4>year I'm going with Kumar Rocker I think we've got

0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:34.760
<v Speaker 4>an absolute stud.

0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:37.400
<v Speaker 9>I think he's healthy now he's gonna go out and dominate.

0:25:38.000 --> 0:25:38.200
<v Speaker 2>NL.

0:25:38.280 --> 0:25:41.040
<v Speaker 4>Rookie the Year Dylan Cruz like every pretty much everybody else.

0:25:42.040 --> 0:25:43.480
<v Speaker 4>Manager of the Year a L. A. J.

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 9>Hendry.

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:45.879
<v Speaker 4>I think the Tigers are gonna just take off a

0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:47.840
<v Speaker 4>little bit with his understanding of the game.

0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:50.400
<v Speaker 9>Terry Frank Cone and the n L as we.

0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:53.639
<v Speaker 4>Know, the reds al Cy Young school Ball of course

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:58.719
<v Speaker 4>Wheeler like everybody else. Aaron Judge is the MVP again.

0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:02.680
<v Speaker 4>He plays really well during the regular season n L MVP.

0:26:02.840 --> 0:26:04.800
<v Speaker 4>I think Wan Soto is gonna get after it again.

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:08.359
<v Speaker 4>This guy is an absolute stud. Home run leader Aaron Judge.

0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:13.240
<v Speaker 4>Of course, RBIs will be won. Soto Stone bases, the lawman,

0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:15.719
<v Speaker 4>Lawrence Butler. I think he's gonna have way more than

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:17.919
<v Speaker 4>nineteen and a half. I think he's gonna have a

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:21.840
<v Speaker 4>lot of stolen bases. E L A leader Zach Wheeler saves.

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:24.120
<v Speaker 4>Nobody said this. I'm going with to roll as Chapman

0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:27.639
<v Speaker 4>this year winning the most saves and the k leader.

0:26:28.119 --> 0:26:29.920
<v Speaker 9>Paul Schemes. Wow.

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 1>So Butler over Ellie and Carol and anyone else.

0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:37.880
<v Speaker 4>With the conversation we have with him. I was ready

0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:40.840
<v Speaker 4>to run through a wall. The attitude, the enthusiasm. This

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:43.040
<v Speaker 4>guy wants to do it and wants to do it big,

0:26:43.080 --> 0:26:44.320
<v Speaker 4>and I think he's having fun here.

0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:47.359
<v Speaker 2>A j were you on for the Astro show? You were?

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:47.880
<v Speaker 2>You were there?

0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:49.920
<v Speaker 7>I was there. I talked to him.

0:26:49.960 --> 0:26:55.679
<v Speaker 2>No, nobody picked Jeremy Painya how much? How many but

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:56.439
<v Speaker 2>stolen bases?

0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 9>Did he say?

0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:00.919
<v Speaker 5>He said no. Dave Clark said if he could get fifty,

0:27:00.960 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 5>if he tried fifty, Okay, I thought it was fifty.

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:04.520
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:06.200
<v Speaker 5>But by the way, Cam Smith, the reason I didn't

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:08.359
<v Speaker 5>pick Cam Smith, I'm a little worried about his defense.

0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:10.800
<v Speaker 5>A guy's a monster. He hasn't forgot a lot of time.

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:12.760
<v Speaker 5>He's gonna play white Field. A little word about that.

0:27:12.960 --> 0:27:14.440
<v Speaker 7>And by the way, the reason I didn't pick Aaron

0:27:14.520 --> 0:27:15.600
<v Speaker 7>Judge to win any of these things?

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:18.840
<v Speaker 5>Who the heck's hitting behind Aaron Judge? If I'm crabs,

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:21.159
<v Speaker 5>Why are you throwing Aaron Judge a pitch ever to hit?

0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:23.840
<v Speaker 7>Ever the whole year? Why are you ever gonna throw

0:27:23.880 --> 0:27:25.680
<v Speaker 7>him the pitch? And runners facing load?

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:28.040
<v Speaker 5>It's crew And I'll take my chances with Jeff Chishom

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 5>and his cut up shoes, Austin Wills and his mustache.

0:27:30.920 --> 0:27:35.320
<v Speaker 7>Whoever. Like, I'll take my chances with Hedy has a

0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:37.880
<v Speaker 7>good year. If Cody has a good year.

0:27:38.240 --> 0:27:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Then I think a judge has a good year.

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 9>But without that, can I ask a question?

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:49.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, why has that been the case for judge

0:27:49.680 --> 0:27:50.160
<v Speaker 2>you for a while?

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:54.119
<v Speaker 1>Aside from from Soto last year, I feel like the

0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:56.600
<v Speaker 1>year that he hit whatever the what was the big year?

0:27:56.800 --> 0:27:59.880
<v Speaker 9>Sixty sixty three was it?

0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:01.280
<v Speaker 7>Whatever?

0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:01.960
<v Speaker 9>The number was?

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Obviously the home run numbers. You know, we're never the

0:28:05.320 --> 0:28:07.440
<v Speaker 1>same once we went through the steroid era. But anyway,

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:11.200
<v Speaker 1>that year, I was like, why are people pitching to him?

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:15.119
<v Speaker 1>He's a monster? I mean, he should have been borderline

0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:19.320
<v Speaker 1>intentional walk in almost every scenario status. And then finally

0:28:19.359 --> 0:28:21.719
<v Speaker 1>in the last what six weeks or so of the season,

0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:25.159
<v Speaker 1>his numbers ticked down. They were avoiding him and it

0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:27.720
<v Speaker 1>was working right. They were pitching around him. He was

0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:30.359
<v Speaker 1>getting intentionally walk more often. I was like, why wouldn't

0:28:30.359 --> 0:28:32.320
<v Speaker 1>you do that the whole year just for competition purposes?

0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Like he's two damn good.

0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:35.760
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, and with two catchers here. I want to hear

0:28:35.800 --> 0:28:37.720
<v Speaker 10>what they got to say about this too. I don't

0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:40.320
<v Speaker 10>feel like the pitchers these days know how to pitch

0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:43.640
<v Speaker 10>around hitters like like he used to be.

0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:46.560
<v Speaker 2>So I guess what I'm trying to say.

0:28:46.600 --> 0:28:51.160
<v Speaker 10>Guys are taught to throw hard, elevate the fastball, miss bats.

0:28:51.520 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 10>But when I feel like when we were all playing,

0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 10>you knew how to miss the plate. You knew how

0:28:57.680 --> 0:28:59.680
<v Speaker 10>to if they're gonna swing, they weren't going to hit it,

0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:01.360
<v Speaker 10>but there's gonna be off the plate enough.

0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't think they know how to do that much anymore.

0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:07.080
<v Speaker 5>Hey, Jay, I think sometimes I agree, But I also

0:29:07.120 --> 0:29:09.920
<v Speaker 5>think that it's as important you ask why Judge got

0:29:09.960 --> 0:29:12.200
<v Speaker 5>pitches because Soda was on base all the time. It's

0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:14.560
<v Speaker 5>as important who's hitting in front of you has hitting

0:29:14.640 --> 0:29:16.720
<v Speaker 5>behind you, Like Barry Bond, just always say if the

0:29:16.760 --> 0:29:19.080
<v Speaker 5>dude in front of me gets on first in first

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 5>bases and open teams are less likely to pitch around

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 5>me than they are. It didn't matter really who was

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:25.920
<v Speaker 5>behind him. It was more of because you could have

0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:27.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, Jeff Kent hitting mind and Barry Bond still

0:29:27.920 --> 0:29:29.720
<v Speaker 5>walked a million times. Jeff Kent was sitting all kinds

0:29:29.760 --> 0:29:31.560
<v Speaker 5>of records, right, But if the guy in front of

0:29:31.640 --> 0:29:32.880
<v Speaker 5>Barry got on and lessened it.

0:29:33.000 --> 0:29:35.120
<v Speaker 7>So whoever hits in front of Aaron Judge.

0:29:35.160 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 5>I think I saw Austin Wells is leading off today,

0:29:37.320 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 5>so Austin Wells has to get on so they don't

0:29:39.040 --> 0:29:40.360
<v Speaker 5>pitch around Aaron Judge.

0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:46.000
<v Speaker 1>A couple other lineup notes, by the way, for today,

0:29:46.040 --> 0:29:49.560
<v Speaker 1>because there's some fun matchups. The Blue Jays have Andre

0:29:49.680 --> 0:29:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Samenez hitting clean up. The Reds were here have Gavin

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Lux hitting clean up and he's playing left field. I mean,

0:29:57.480 --> 0:29:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I actually don't hate that one. I think Lux can

0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:02.200
<v Speaker 1>really it. I think you could have a really good year.

0:30:02.240 --> 0:30:06.240
<v Speaker 1>And Kratz, you don't say this often, but change of

0:30:06.280 --> 0:30:08.560
<v Speaker 1>scenery for a guy coming from the Dodgers in his

0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:10.880
<v Speaker 1>case might actually work out.

0:30:10.920 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 1>It's not like the Dodgers necessarily did anything wrong with him,

0:30:14.160 --> 0:30:17.400
<v Speaker 1>but it's the only organization that he knew, and playing

0:30:17.480 --> 0:30:19.640
<v Speaker 1>time and just the way that they have to manage

0:30:19.680 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 1>their ball club is very different from how the Reds

0:30:22.680 --> 0:30:25.200
<v Speaker 1>will do things. They're gonna say, hey, if you can hit,

0:30:25.640 --> 0:30:28.040
<v Speaker 1>you're playing every single day and you might be our

0:30:28.080 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 1>cleanup hitter.

0:30:29.800 --> 0:30:34.080
<v Speaker 3>How about also, more than scenery change, a full year

0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:37.200
<v Speaker 3>on his new knee, he played last year on a

0:30:37.240 --> 0:30:40.720
<v Speaker 3>repaired knee. We gave a Kuna pass after he came

0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:44.520
<v Speaker 3>back from his torn ACL, and his first season was eh.

0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Then the next year it was much better. Guys, yes,

0:30:48.840 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 3>they can play on it, but to me, that second

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:58.840
<v Speaker 3>year on that new ACL, the repaired knee is huge.

0:31:00.160 --> 0:31:00.680
<v Speaker 2>For the Reds.

0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Austin Hayes. I thought it was a nice pickup, but

0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:05.800
<v Speaker 1>he's on the IL right now. Spencer Steers active, but

0:31:05.840 --> 0:31:08.160
<v Speaker 1>he can't really throw yet. And there were a couple

0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:10.800
<v Speaker 1>of names actually that I did not know that that

0:31:10.960 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 1>made the Reds outfield, at least for now. If I

0:31:14.000 --> 0:31:16.520
<v Speaker 1>say them out loud, almost nobody even in the chat

0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:18.520
<v Speaker 1>is going to know. It's no offense to these guys.

0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 1>They just they're in their you know, mid topper twenties.

0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm forgetting the name. I saw them in some spring

0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:27.200
<v Speaker 1>training games and they did pretty well. But ready for it.

0:31:27.480 --> 0:31:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Jacob her Device and Blake Dunn, don't lie. Does anybody

0:31:33.040 --> 0:31:35.400
<v Speaker 1>know either of those players. I'm a prospect nerd they're not,

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to.

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Say that, not prospects. But they made the team, you know,

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:41.960
<v Speaker 2>as depth and guys that have had good minor league careers.

0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:42.400
<v Speaker 2>So far.

0:31:42.560 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, krats, they're actually on your career path,

0:31:45.080 --> 0:31:47.920
<v Speaker 1>which is not a bad thing. You know, twenty they're

0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:50.760
<v Speaker 1>both in once twenty seven, ones almost twenty seven. I

0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:54.440
<v Speaker 1>mean you're you really cracked the bigs and started doing

0:31:54.480 --> 0:31:55.640
<v Speaker 1>things at what age?

0:31:57.280 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean thirty two, But I cracked them basically. He's

0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:01.600
<v Speaker 3>a thirty so they're way ahead of me. They're gonna

0:32:01.640 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 3>make free before before they hit my age.

0:32:05.760 --> 0:32:06.400
<v Speaker 8>No, it's tough.

0:32:06.440 --> 0:32:09.840
<v Speaker 3>It's tough as an older guy play in the outfield.

0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:11.959
<v Speaker 7>I don't know.

0:32:12.040 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean, hey, you know what this is where Terry

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:17.040
<v Speaker 3>Francon's value comes in. How do you get the most

0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 3>out of those guys?

0:32:19.280 --> 0:32:19.440
<v Speaker 9>There?

0:32:19.480 --> 0:32:19.800
<v Speaker 2>You go?

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:20.400
<v Speaker 9>All right?

0:32:20.480 --> 0:32:24.640
<v Speaker 5>Coming up next right? You are a nerd, so you

0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:25.640
<v Speaker 5>got that part of it right.

0:32:26.240 --> 0:32:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. I'm a prospect nerd. You can't get me that.

0:32:29.200 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 7>I didn't say prospect. I just said he said nerd,

0:32:33.120 --> 0:32:33.720
<v Speaker 7>which is funny.

0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Thank you. I'm definitely a nerd.

0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:37.960
<v Speaker 7>Wor the world is run by nerd Scott, we.

0:32:37.960 --> 0:32:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Know, correct? Correct?

0:32:40.520 --> 0:32:43.080
<v Speaker 1>This one is for Jamon in the chat who asked

0:32:43.120 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 1>us to give them futures bets that we like for

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the year.

0:32:46.960 --> 0:32:50.040
<v Speaker 2>So we'll do this throughout the show as well. You

0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:51.760
<v Speaker 2>give me three that you picked out that you like.

0:32:52.120 --> 0:32:57.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh my futures bets are the Phillies over ninety and

0:32:57.080 --> 0:32:59.040
<v Speaker 4>a half wins. I think they're going to be closer

0:32:59.040 --> 0:33:01.680
<v Speaker 4>to one hundred. I think they're gonna have a really

0:33:01.720 --> 0:33:04.760
<v Speaker 4>good year. I also pick Wan Soto have over one

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 4>hundred and four and a half RBIs. I think that's

0:33:08.000 --> 0:33:09.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, I hate to say, but I feel

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:13.200
<v Speaker 4>like that's a lock, you know, yeah, barring any circumstances.

0:33:13.240 --> 0:33:15.360
<v Speaker 4>And I got Hunter Green over one hundred and sixty

0:33:15.360 --> 0:33:17.880
<v Speaker 4>two and a half k's. I feel like he was

0:33:17.920 --> 0:33:19.760
<v Speaker 4>in Talk for the cy Young last year. I think

0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:23.200
<v Speaker 4>he's gonna take another step to even get closer to that.

0:33:23.240 --> 0:33:25.240
<v Speaker 4>I don't think he's gonna win it, but he's gonna

0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 4>go out there and open some more eyes.

0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:28.440
<v Speaker 9>And man, this guy just keeps getting better and better.

0:33:31.040 --> 0:33:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I like it.

0:33:34.080 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's see, we have time for one more AJ you

0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 1>want to run through your three futures that you like.

0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:39.560
<v Speaker 2>We're holding you te these all year.

0:33:40.240 --> 0:33:42.640
<v Speaker 7>That's fine. I don't care. I'll forget. I already forgot,

0:33:42.720 --> 0:33:43.960
<v Speaker 7>so I'll forget by tomorrow.

0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:46.080
<v Speaker 5>So I don't really care. I know I picked the rock.

0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:49.160
<v Speaker 5>The eight's over seventy one and a half is my

0:33:49.400 --> 0:33:55.760
<v Speaker 5>lock of the freaking century. Okay, the lock of the century. Also, Marlin,

0:33:56.200 --> 0:33:58.960
<v Speaker 5>are not gonna win sixty two games, sixty three games.

0:33:58.960 --> 0:34:02.240
<v Speaker 7>They're gonna lose a hundred okay, and then the other one.

0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 7>The White Socks call me a homer. It was fifty

0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:05.760
<v Speaker 7>three and a half. I don't know when it went

0:34:05.760 --> 0:34:06.800
<v Speaker 7>to fifty four and a half.

0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:08.319
<v Speaker 2>Apparently people matter to me.

0:34:09.160 --> 0:34:11.320
<v Speaker 5>It does matter because I think they're around a fifty

0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:13.440
<v Speaker 5>five to fifty seven win team.

0:34:13.560 --> 0:34:15.280
<v Speaker 7>So that happens, it does matter.

0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:18.000
<v Speaker 5>But I've still taken them because they will not be

0:34:18.080 --> 0:34:19.799
<v Speaker 5>as bad as they were last year. They can't lose

0:34:19.800 --> 0:34:22.560
<v Speaker 5>one hundred and twenty one games. It's impossible to lose

0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:24.759
<v Speaker 5>that many games. People don't understand. Is it hard to

0:34:24.760 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 5>win one hundred games? Yes, it's also really hard to

0:34:27.600 --> 0:34:30.000
<v Speaker 5>lose one hundred and ten games. So I feel like

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:31.520
<v Speaker 5>they're not They're going to be one hundred and five

0:34:31.560 --> 0:34:32.080
<v Speaker 5>lost teams.

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay. I mean I like all of those a lot.

0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, some of those I'll include later on in mind. Now,

0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:44.879
<v Speaker 1>we'll do more later. But Kratz did you have any

0:34:44.880 --> 0:34:47.080
<v Speaker 1>problems with those. I think the White Sox one is

0:34:47.120 --> 0:34:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the scariest for me.

0:34:49.360 --> 0:34:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Under under on the White Socks, they if they improve

0:34:52.920 --> 0:34:55.960
<v Speaker 3>by eleven games, they're still at one hundred and ten losses.

0:34:56.320 --> 0:34:59.160
<v Speaker 3>They're in a worst team than they were last year.

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.239
<v Speaker 1>You're saying under on what though their wins are their

0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:07.200
<v Speaker 1>losses under wins? Right, so you think they'll be even

0:35:07.239 --> 0:35:11.520
<v Speaker 1>worse than what's on the board. Yes, okay, I'm with

0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:12.200
<v Speaker 1>you on that one.

0:35:12.080 --> 0:35:14.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I have too, I'm right with you.

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:17.239
<v Speaker 10>I don't think anybody can name the five starters or

0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:18.239
<v Speaker 10>even three starters.

0:35:19.840 --> 0:35:22.600
<v Speaker 1>A j Jason Stark the other day said one hundred

0:35:22.600 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 1>and twenty four losses for the White Sox.

0:35:25.400 --> 0:35:27.479
<v Speaker 5>Jason Stark is trying to get clicks. I love you, Jason.

0:35:27.680 --> 0:35:30.719
<v Speaker 5>Quit trying to get clicks at that one. That one's

0:35:30.760 --> 0:35:31.680
<v Speaker 5>a little expressive.

0:35:35.280 --> 0:35:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Let's keep running futures bets for our guy Jamin and

0:35:37.920 --> 0:35:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the chatter's there every day and said, I need futures

0:35:40.440 --> 0:35:41.560
<v Speaker 1>that we can follow all year.

0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Crats, you're up, all right.

0:35:44.280 --> 0:35:48.160
<v Speaker 3>I got Lawrence Butler stolen bases the over it's at

0:35:48.239 --> 0:35:49.280
<v Speaker 3>nineteen and a half.

0:35:50.040 --> 0:35:50.759
<v Speaker 7>Smash it.

0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:54.319
<v Speaker 3>He's a Paasyde's gonna have a monster year, probably an

0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:58.960
<v Speaker 3>All Star. Even the Rockies under sixty and a half wins.

0:35:59.239 --> 0:36:02.040
<v Speaker 3>I bought that it's now, I think at fifty nine

0:36:02.080 --> 0:36:03.839
<v Speaker 3>and a half, but you get it at plus one

0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:06.319
<v Speaker 3>oh five. I bought it at minus one fifteen for

0:36:06.560 --> 0:36:11.080
<v Speaker 3>sixty and a half wins. And the Cardinals under seventy

0:36:11.080 --> 0:36:12.960
<v Speaker 3>six and a half. I think they're gonna be right

0:36:13.000 --> 0:36:17.520
<v Speaker 3>around the seventy two mark. And I think that's an

0:36:17.560 --> 0:36:21.799
<v Speaker 3>easy under. Again, like I said before, if they do well,

0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:25.440
<v Speaker 3>if they start out doing really well, even guys like

0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Sonny Gray are gonna be up for trade, Nolan Eronado.

0:36:29.560 --> 0:36:31.920
<v Speaker 3>They've been trying to trade them, all that stuff. You know,

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:34.759
<v Speaker 3>guys will be leaving this team. They are gonna lose

0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:37.160
<v Speaker 3>their closer if they're doing well, and if they're not

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:39.040
<v Speaker 3>doing well, seventy six is an easy on.

0:36:40.000 --> 0:36:44.319
<v Speaker 1>Those are really good. Yeah, loocks for futures. Seriously, I'm

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:45.120
<v Speaker 1>very impressed.

0:36:45.640 --> 0:36:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, law Butler. I mean, he said it himself like.

0:36:48.520 --> 0:36:52.120
<v Speaker 1>He's going for thirty, thirty, forty, forty whatever, even if

0:36:52.120 --> 0:36:54.360
<v Speaker 1>he's got that in his head, young player, that's great.

0:36:54.760 --> 0:36:56.440
<v Speaker 1>And I like the other two as well. I'll just

0:36:56.440 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 1>give you three team ones. Obviously, I'm probably the high

0:36:59.560 --> 0:37:02.880
<v Speaker 1>guy on the Tigers. I think they're closer to a

0:37:02.960 --> 0:37:04.640
<v Speaker 1>ninety win team, and I think they're gonna win the

0:37:04.640 --> 0:37:05.720
<v Speaker 1>American League Central.

0:37:06.200 --> 0:37:09.120
<v Speaker 2>So I've got myes with a breakout year.

0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Finally, Schooble Scooble job is gonna be insane for as

0:37:13.080 --> 0:37:15.959
<v Speaker 1>as long as they'll let him go, So over eighty

0:37:16.000 --> 0:37:18.279
<v Speaker 1>three and a half wins for them, I'm with aj

0:37:18.440 --> 0:37:20.960
<v Speaker 1>on the Marlins. That's a one hundred lost team for me.

0:37:21.200 --> 0:37:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I locked that in at sixty two and a half.

0:37:24.080 --> 0:37:26.239
<v Speaker 1>And then if I'm gonna say the Brewers are winning

0:37:26.239 --> 0:37:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the division, they're gonna win more than eighty two games, right,

0:37:29.800 --> 0:37:32.440
<v Speaker 1>so I'll pick them. I mean the Central might be

0:37:32.480 --> 0:37:35.319
<v Speaker 1>eighty six to win the Central, whatever it is, I

0:37:35.320 --> 0:37:37.520
<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna go about that. So those are my

0:37:37.600 --> 0:37:40.680
<v Speaker 1>three cratses are probably better, so jealous.

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:43.160
<v Speaker 9>I think everybody so far has been pretty good.

0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:46.040
<v Speaker 1>They're nice, right, Okay, But we're gonna keep track of

0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:48.239
<v Speaker 1>those for the whole year. We'll check in on them

0:37:48.600 --> 0:37:50.640
<v Speaker 1>every once in a while, especially for a Ja, since

0:37:50.640 --> 0:37:55.120
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna forget his he checked that he already did.

0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:59.080
<v Speaker 5>I don't even remember what I've been I already forgot

0:38:00.960 --> 0:38:01.200
<v Speaker 2>One
