Aaron Judge out a while, Brayan Bello optioned, Bailey Ober files complaint about quality of baseballs · Foul Territory

  Speaker 1: Happy Friday. It's Perzinski Friday with Kratz and me. So, guys,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: we have a lot to cover today. AJ there's two
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: things I want to do at the top. One is,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: of course, talk about your favorite team before we dive
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: into the judge injury. The Cubs game was really fun
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: to watch yesterday because they had been so bad at
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: home for a while and then the PCA thing happens.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: The reason I'm bringing this up is sometimes when people
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: ask me where my allegiance is, I root for cool
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: stories and storylines. For example, when you see PCA miss
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: a baseball out there, get lost in the lights, team
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: can't win a game, and then he hits a homer
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and then he has the walk off. I like that stuff.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: And one other example from yesterday Carmen Macinski who pops
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: up in the bullpen with four innings of one run
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: ball for the Pirates to piggyback Gared Jones in a
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: win for Pittsburgh and really help the team that has
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a really bad bullpen right now, those two storylines, for me,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that's what I root for.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean PA has had a rough go, the
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Cubs have had a rough go, and PC eight does
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: the thing where he loses the inside the park to
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Shay Langoliers and then all of a sudden, they score
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: all those runs at the end of the game to
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: come back and win a PC up to walk off
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: of redemption whatever you want to call was pretty cool.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: It's actually really awesome.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, the Pirates needed it, and they got
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: it from the guy who they had just restricted. Right,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: but he figured it out. He came back and said,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: you know what, I need to be a part of
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: this team. And he did a great thing. And he
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: gave him four innings, one run, got a save, which
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he had him getting any saves
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: on his card for this year, but he got him
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a nice save, and the Pirates won a game that
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: they needed to win.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: It was It was a nice redemption night for a.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Couple of guys.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, doesn't that count an arbitration Kratz, because I know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: you know, you can be pissed if you're a guy
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: with the mid three Zra you get sent to the bullpen.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: But you know, in arbitration he could be like, excuse me.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: During let's say he ends up spending a month in
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the bullpen. I picked up three saves during that time period,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: including the three inning plus variety, which sometimes can mean
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: even more because you're picking up innings.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: So first time arbitration eligible guys twenty eight years old
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: with three saves and seventeen wins under their belt. Eh,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: I don't think the three saves are really getting there
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: unless he becomes their closer. What a story.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Hey, that could happen too anyway. I thought that was
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: fun from yesterday. Now the bad stuff from yesterday. Let's charge.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: What do you have for us? We've been covering this
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: all week.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: AJ the.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Rib situation for Aaron Judge a stress a stress fracture
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of the first rib on his right side of the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yankees announce. So he's not out four to six weeks.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: He's going to be reassessed in the next four to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: six weeks. Who's got the construction action going on?
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I think that's me. I think there's someone in my
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: in the backyard beeping. I don't know who it is,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: but sorry, I can't control I can't control the cars
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: that are around.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Me that brings truck. That's what it is.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for Aaron Judge, exactly. Yeah, this sucks.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I remember we talked about this yesterday Scott. What's the injury?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: We didn't know where is it, how did it happen?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: All these questions we had, and now we know his
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: first rib. So that's like way up here right like
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: that's I think at one point they thought he might
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: need the the what is it where they go in
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and they have to open.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: The vein drastic outlet. That was one of the worries.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: I think for a while.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: It's not littled out yet.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Oh well, that's that would be worse.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: That would be what Zack Wheeler had, right, So I
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: at least they think they figured out what it is,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: stress reaction in the right rib, but it's so high
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: up there it's hard to get imaging of it. They
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: figured it out now that now he's got to get better.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: But these stress fractures can last a long time. He
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: can't really do anything. So even if he's out, let's
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: say he's out four weeks, they reassess he's better, then.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: He's got to go.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: He's gonna have to go on at least probably a
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: two week rehab to once he starts being able to
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: do stuff. So I mean, I think minimum he's out
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: six weeks, and that sucks for the Yankees. They can
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: cover it because they're swinging the bats. Well, they're pitching
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: really well. But it sucks, and you can, you know
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: what's the craziest part. You can pretty much take him
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: out of the MVP discussion.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Now, yeah, well I didn't even think about that part
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: of it. But obviously when you hear thoracic outlet and
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: you think of Wheeler, you're like, like, if we're talking
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: blood clots, that's like life altering, not to sport altering.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Haven't heard anything about blood clots. But basically, when you
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: have that pinching, if there's if there's no space there,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: the rib can get irritated, the you know, your arm
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: can get irritated. How long was he dealing with it?
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Was it caused by something? Hopefully we find more information out,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: but this is this is a big blow for any
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: lineup to lose their MVP candidate. I don't care what
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: he was hitting. It's a big blow.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: How big. Let's assume that it's about two months eight weeks.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Let's assume that it some point in that four to
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: six week window, he gets checked, he gets cleared, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: returns a few weeks after that. Right, Let's say it's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: five weeks and then three weeks to get him back
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: in terms of rehab, and then eventually in even just
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a week of games. AJ, how much does it hurt
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the Yankees? Do you think that it could risk their
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: playoff chances? Or do you think there is enough around
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: him with Ballinger and Trent Grisham was unlucky in the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: beginning of the year, now playing better, John Carlow on
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: his way back, Jason Dominguez on his way back. I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: mean I don't have to name every player. Obviously, Ben
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Rice has been their superstar. He's been better than Judge.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Numbers wise, we're showing one chart here, Yanks year by
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: year without Aren Judge twenty nineteen, they went forty two
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and eighteen without him. But since then, since twenty twenty
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I did the math here real quick. There are one
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight games over five hundred when he plays,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: there eight games under five hundred when he's not in
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the lineup. And the one other caveat I'll mention AJ
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: is how how much does it affect the rest of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the offense being that they'll be focused on more Like,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: now you can circle Ben Rice, but this guy can't
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: beat us.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Well, they can just play five hundred. Even if there
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: are a couple of games under five hundred. With the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: way the American League is, they'll be fine. Again, They're
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: pitching has been so good. I mean, they're twelve games
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: over right now, right, they're thirty seven and twenty five,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: so we're sixty two games and they have one hundred
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: games remaining. Let's say he misses two months, that puts
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: him into August. That's eight weeks. You know, just guessing here.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: If they go.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Twenty five and twenty five and those next even if
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: they go you know, a couple games under twenty two
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: and twenty four or something like that, you know, whatever
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the numbers are, they'll be fine because I don't see
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: another team that's gonna jump and catch up, even the Orioles. Right,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: they're three games under. They'd have to go fifteen games
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: over five hundred in those two months to get back
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to Yankees if they just play five hundred, and I
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: think because their pitching is so good, and Ben Rice,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: like you mentioned, some of these other guys have really
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: stepped up Stanton's coming back, I think they can do that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I think they're going to be okay and I think
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: when Judge comes back, it'll be like, hey, we got
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: another guy from the trade deadline. Now we're rolling with
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: our captain. Here we go, boys and slide right into
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the playoffs and see where they're at.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Kratz. I know you love dad jokes. This is not
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a joke. Ridges five and one Travel Power Bank is

• 7:34

• 7:36

• 8:15
  Speaker 4: I think everybody gets pissed about John Carlow getting hurt,
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: but you know what, when he's out there and he's
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: on his streak when he's on, when he's on, I
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: mean he's he's clipping five homers a series. So to me,
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: I think Gee's close enough to coming back. This gives
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: them enough flexibility. And I also think they're still athletic
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: enough to be able to say, okay, belly slides over,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Spencer Jones comes up. Now, Spencer Jones gets to play
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: his natural position that he's played his entire career. And
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: they still in the minor leagues, and so I think
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: they're structured well enough. The lineup is never going to
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: be the same without him in it. Teams just do
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: not They would much rather pitch to Cody Bellinger, Ben Rice,
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Paul Goldschmid, whoever it is, with nobody on base, but
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: they sure as heck do not want to let Aaron
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Judge do what Aaron Judge does and score a run
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: by himself by hitting a homer. So that's why a
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: guy like Judge changes a line up more than anybody
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: else in the game.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: And he had a nine oh seven OPS this year.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: But Chris Kershner in The Athletic pointed out he's chase
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: pitches out of the strike zone at his highest rate
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: since twenty sixteen, swung at pitches inside the strike zone
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: at his lowest rates since twenty sixteen, swung at the
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: fewest meat balls aka pitch is thrown in the heart
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: of the strike zone since twenty sixteen, and his ground
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: ball rate was the highest since twenty twenty one. So
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: it's still produced a nine oh seven OPS. But for Judge,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: that's not good enough, right Judge wants to be the MVP,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: best player on the planet, best hitter on the planet
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: that he's been, and so for the Yankees, you try
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and take that exchange. I know it sucks to not
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: have him, but AJ if he actually can completely heal
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and come back and be thousand plus opss, Aaron, Judge,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: that's what you want. I would trade one or two months,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: especially with the supporting cast. Now, this is not twenty
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: twenty three when they went twenty five and thirty one
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: without him, and there are only two above average hitters
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: that season by ops plus were DJ Lemayhew and I
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: just lost my spot. But there was one other back then,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and this year is very different. They have five guys
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: with above apps pluses. It was glaber tourists. There's five
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: guys now and that's not including gold Schmid and Rosario
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: not qualifying. But they've been good off the bench. They
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: have way more offensive depth.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what he said.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: That's what he said.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: That's what he said.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: That's what he said. The quality of the baseballs, it
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: will always, well for the near future, be a topic
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: in our sport until we get a uniform baseball. So
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: let's cue the latest. First off, did you guys see
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the other day Ronald Cunya Junior was staring at two
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: baseballs and apparently he was at actually trying to see
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: what the difference was. Mark Bowman asked him what he
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: was doing there, and he laughed and said he had
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: kept staring at the baseballs because it looked like one
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: was bigger than the other. Stay tuned for further updates.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: So that was kind of funny. And then a day
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: later we actually get a story out that Bailey Ober
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: has filed an official complaint with Major League Baseball. So
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: he's on the IL right now, and he's got a
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: mild flexer strain, right flexer strain. This is Bob Nightingale
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: putting this story out, and I'll reach you some quotes
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: from the story with Ober talking about the baseball's in
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: his last start in Boston before he hit the shelf
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: as the worst in his six year career. He said,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I haven't dealt with poorly rubbed up baseballs to that extent. Ever,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the only way to be able to throw slick baseballs
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: is to grip them harder so you can execute your pitches.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: If not, you're not going to know where the ball
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: is going, especially with breaking pitches. Everyone that came in
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: after me, the believers, they all said the same thing.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Then he said he checked on the other clubhouse two
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: with some of his friends there, like Sonny Gray and
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Danny Klum right after the game. They both said the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: same thing. So, AJ, do we think we have a
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: problem here? When someone mentions the worst baseballs he's ever
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: dealt with.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: You hear about this sometimes you hear about guys complaining
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: about the balls. I mean, everyone rubs up the balls differently.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: It's not like there's a uniform way to rub up
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: the balls. The umpires look at them. Usually before the game,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: they get a big bag of them or two where
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: someone usually the bullpen catcher, someone on the home side
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: has rubbed up the balls.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: And I don't know, maybe they didn't.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Use enough of the what is it the Maryland mud
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: or the Delaware mud or whatever the specific mud they
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: have to use. Maybe they got a bad batch, maybe rained.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I've heard guys complain about the balls, but usually they
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: just throw them out and find one and they're like, Okay,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: this one's good, I'll use this one. Oh, that one's
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: not good. You see guys throw them out. So I've
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: heard guys complain. I've never said I've never heard anyone
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: say they got injured because of it. But I just
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: don't know why we can't figure out some sort of
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: something to put on the baseball like they do in Japan,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: to make them tacky and make them sticky, and make
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: it uniform so nobody has to worry about this anymore.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: It seems like an easy fix, but it also seems
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: like we're not anywhere close to that we don't want.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: Them tacky tacky though, so we just want them a
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: little tacky, but not tacky tacky. This is some people
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: will say, oh, he's making excuses and the fact that
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: when ronald'cuny's thing where he had the two baseballs, that
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: that's what I said the next day, like I was like, yeah,
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: that's how you would you feel you can tell a difference.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: And that's a position player. That's a dude that plays
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: right field that barely touches the baseball. A pitcher comes
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: out and complains this much, this boldly, They one hundred percent, no,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: they know if there's like they grip the ball, wait
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: a minute, they look at it and one side feels
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: different than the other one. You one hundred percent know
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: when you are that specific in your craft, you one
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: hundred percent know if there's something different in the ball.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: And I think something needs to be seen about or
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: checked about this because if Bailey Ober did hurt his
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: elbow because of this, because there was some kind of
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: negligence or there was some kind of like, oh, we're
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: trying something different, then somebody needs to be held responsible
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: because this is what guys complained about when they took
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: the spider tack or any tackiness or any sticky anything
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: that you can put on the ball. You had to
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: grip it tighter. You have to grip it tighter to
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: have that same feel, which ultimately, when you grip a
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: ball tighter, you can see my forearm flexes more, which
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: gives more pressure to that elbow. And anybody that argues
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: against that, they are have never thrown a baseball over
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: ninety miles an hour.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: So aj I guess the question I have is, because
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: it comes up every year, do we need to work
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: harder as a sport to fix it? Or it comes
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: up a few times and then it goes away. Right,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: it costs money. I mean the league spends money on
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: other stuff. I just we have a hard time looking
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: at our world being like, all right, we can go
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: to the moon, we might go to Mars. We can't
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: have uniform baseballs.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Japan figured it out, right, The other leagues have figured
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: it out. It's just Major League Baseball that hasn't figured
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: it out. Everyone out Japan. You go to Japan, they're like, oh,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: the balls are a little bit sticky, and pitchers love them.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: They get used to them. They know what they're going
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: to get every time. So and the fact that baseballs
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: are still hand stitched in Costa Rica is also amazing.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: And you know, they'll never say that they can change
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: how tight or how loose they're wound, but we all
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: have our theories on that. So it's just amazing to
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: me at this day and age and we can't figure
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: out how to make a uniform across the board. They
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: used to have practice balls that were softer that teams
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: would pay pay for for batting practice, so they wouldn't
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: go as far and they'd save money on baseballs or
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: batting practice. So it's just crazy in twenty twenty six
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: that we can't figure this out, especially for the highest
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: level of baseball in the world.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: It's all about money in the end. It's all about money.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: It's who is paying what to get what certified and
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: to allow a certain stipulation. And Major League Baseball they
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: tested I wish I remember I couldn't find it when
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: you were talking there, Aj, But it wasn't just our theory.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: There was proven evidence that the balls from I think
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: it was twenty nineteen, correct me if I'm wrong, But
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: there was proven evidence when they were testing those baseballs,
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: and it's just a It was a ploy by Major
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: League Baseball to be able to maybe help offense, maybe
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: change what was happening with offense without anybody noticing. And
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: you notice big leaguers noticed, like whoa, how did that
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: ball go out? WHOA? Why did that ball not go out?
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: Wait a minute, Certain fields are using it in certain times,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: certain humidifiers or turned a different error, like all that stuff.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: You change little things with elite athletes and it has
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: big consequences. But you talk about money if it's about
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: money that they're not getting this ball like ball uniform
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: thing done. Injuries cost money. If your picture gets injured.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: If you're the Twins ownership and you do care about
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: winning in your picture's health, you need to be the
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: first one banging the table saying we need a uniform
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: baseball because I lost one of my big lead pictures
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: and that's costing me. However, many millions of dollars Baillyover
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: is making this year.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Well that's my point, Kratz. I know you mentioned money,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: but the money saved if you actually get one or
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: even one or two by pictures, Yeah, that's it. That's
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, right, We're not This isn't like a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: one hundred million dollar project. This is preventing a few
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: guys from getting hurt and being worth it. But that
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: that's the whole arm injury epidemic in general. AJ, is
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: that whatever you're able to figure out, even if it's
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: little things or big things right now, like the baseball,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: it's going to prevent injuries and save all of baseball
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: money from guys going on the injured list. Right il,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: and we're going to talk more about the injured list
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: later in a cool story. Iel stints are like the
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: costliest thing in the game, right I mean teams suddenly
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: having forty man rosters that become sixty man rosters because
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: so many guys are hurt.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what happens. I mean injuries.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Whatever the reason, they want to have bigger training staffs
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: and bigger this and bigger that. But guys are getting
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: injured more now than ever. So if it's a little
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: thing like the baseball, maybe we need to figure that out.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Again.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I've never heard of this. I've never
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: I've heard guys complain about balls. I've never seen a
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: guy complain out this publicly. But Baiyover has his thoughts
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: and if he thinks that's what it was, then we
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: need to be better as a sport and figure out
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: figure it out how to make it safer for everybody
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: and make the ball's uniform.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: I would love to bring him on. We've had him on.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I would love to just do twenty minutes on this
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: because he's dealing with it. He's outspoken about it, so
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I'd love to just dive in more.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Or even last year, like guys pitching in Sacramento. I
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: think Correa sat out the last game in Sacramento because
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: he was like, you could definitely feel it, you can
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: feel the box was I think he said getting harder
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: or so. I don't one hundred percent remember the quotes,
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: but there shouldn't be. And I know it makes players
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: sound bougie. It makes them, well, we know my high
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: school team played on a goat drive the other day.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Like these areas who are doing things at the highest level,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: and if we don't provide them, we as in like
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: people who provide the field and the baseballs and the
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: uniforms and all this stuff with the best quality that
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: give makes them the safest. We're not putting the best
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: product out on the field, and we're not really caring
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: for the player's health and the game's health. In an
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: overarching statement.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Goat track baseball catching strays. It's like goat yoga. I mean,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: come on, dude, you don't like playing baseball with baby
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: goats running around.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: I don't like I don't like watching kids. I don't
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: play anything anymore. So it's beautiful, but I don't like
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: watching kids having to go to a baseball game at
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: a city at a city field where the dirt baselines are.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: The entire field is just the baseline. So you got
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: to lip between first and second, and you got a
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: lip in the back of first and second. There's no dirt.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: There's like like it's high school. That's high school baseball.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: We shouldn't have little things like this in the big leagues.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: A right, good talk. Let's get to the next topic here.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: And that's what he said. And it's Brian Bayo getting optioned,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: so aj he got roughed up again yesterday. He's going
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: down Christian Campbell's down there in Woosted. That's one hundred
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: and twenty five million bucks and guaranteed money. Hanging out
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: in the minor leagues to try and get themselves fixed
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: up right that tweet pointed out by John Martinello, it
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: actually just sparked a memory of rus Snake Castillo for them,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and now he had to down there. That was different.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: There was a formality there. We can talk about another time.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: But your thoughts on Bao first, and then he was
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: asked postgame, of course about starting versus bulcaning reliever, and
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: he seemed kind of pissed off about the question. We've
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: certainly smashed that, although I have said BeO different for me,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: he's been in the league now for a minute, couldn't
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: figure out the first inning. You want to try something,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: go for it with a baby who just gets called
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: up to the league. That's different for me. But anyway,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on what he's dealing with.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Uh, he was good a couple of years ago, right,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was my luck all the time for strikeouts,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: and then it's it's like he hasn't improved.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: He was really good and then he's kind of leveled
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: off and if anything, he's declined.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if it's an injury thing, if
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: it's a mental thing, I don't know what it is.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: But he hasn't taken the next step. That's why they
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: gave him that contract. They thought he'd take the next step.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Maybe down in Worcester he can figure it out. Maybe
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: he's a trade candidate, maybe Christian Campbell. You know, they
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: did that to Vaughan Grisham after he didn't work out,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. But he shouldn't have to answer the
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: starter vers bulk. He wanted to be a starter and
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: they made him a bulk reliever and he hasn't pitched
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: good in either.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: So he's in triple it.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Beo's everybody's gonna say, this is a
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: new guys that have strikeouts. If you don't strike out guys,
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: this is the type of thing that's gonna happen. He's
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: got to figure it out. He's got to figure out
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: how to continue to He's not a strikeout pitcher. He
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: is a contact, weak contact type of pitcher, and it
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: has not been weak contact this year, and so hopefully
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: he can figure that out and what that is for him,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: probably more pitches down in his zone, probably being able
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: to locate that change up to both sides of the
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: plate a little bit better, and getting ahead if he's
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: not getting ahead and his walk rate is upwards. His
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: ball rate is up, his walk rate, I don't think
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: he's actually that much higher, but he's not throwing as
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: many strikes ahead, so he's always behind in the count.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: So he needs to get that get that back, and
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: he needs to be able to reassess his value or
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: he's gonna be making a lot of money in Worcester.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Thoughts on the Red Sox development. I don't want to
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: say issues, but you know the name that pops up
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: right now is yet Kyle Harrison right there? What happened?
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: You know? Why did the Brewers take him in? And
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: he's one of the best pitchers in baseball so far
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: in the first third of the season. Am I being
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: too harsh? I'm not. I'm not even trying to like
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: shit on them right now. I'm just saying this is
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: a guy homegrown they invest in who has not gotten better.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: I'm bringing up a res example of someone who leaves
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: under their watch and immediately shines with another ball club.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: And there's some other examples too, And I know you
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: can find this aj with any almost any team. You
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: can cherry pick right and be like, even even the
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Rays have guys like Christopher Sanchez.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Hey, what happened.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: What did you guys do? Why did you trade him away?
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: But in the recent history here with Boston is their
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: concern that the plan they have behind the scenes is
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: not really working.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you can look at the position player
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: side for sure. I mean, I know that Roman Anthony's
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: a star, but he's been hurt a lot, right Marcelo
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Meyer hasn't been great for him, when's a lot. Tristan
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Kassas another guy who'shurt all the time. Look at their
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: roster right now. It is guys who were either developed
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: or signed from free agency, especially the position player side,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: so it hasn't been a great track record the last
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: few years. And then the pitching side of it. Crochet
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: was traded for a lot of their guys. Yes, now
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: they've done a little bit better for me on the
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: pitching side, but for me, where are the position players
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: that they've developed. That's a big question. And people are
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: going to say Roman Anthony, I know he's hurt, but
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: he did it for what half a year last year,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: and he did he was great, But he's going to
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: have to do it for years on end, especially with
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: that contract. So it's a question that needs to be asked,
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: but I don't know if we're going to get an answer.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Obviously, what Kyle Harrison's doing that sucks for the Red Sox.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: It's great for the Brewers, but you traded essentially, you
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: salary dumped Raffie Devers. And Kyle Harrison said it when
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: he was on the show early this year. You know,
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: there were some things, you know, I got sent down
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: to Triple A, and there's some things that I didn't
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: one hundred percent agree with pitch development, and he goes
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: to the Brewers and allows them to be them. So
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: maybe they're getting a little bit of flak right now.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: But I think in general, I think the Red Sox
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: are doing a good job of developing players. I think
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: they had the players to be there, just not the
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: players that are going to lead a team to the
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: playoffs or to the World Series. And I think that's
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: where the front office needed to supplement other guys in there,
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: and I think they fell a little short in that sense.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: There have been articles about how things are getting lost
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: in translation at times there right, I mean we joked
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: about it, Craig Breslow having an interpreter, but could there
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: be some communication issues with what the team thinks the
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: players should do right Kyle Harrison. In this case, I'll
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: bring up one other example I read about this morning. AJ.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Did you hear about Caleb Durban. A couple things just
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: came out over the last twenty four hours, so he
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: was off to a super slow start, and it's only
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: been a week that he's smashing the ball. He is
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: now before every game driving to Waltham to hit at
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: a swing facility with a private hitting coach. Watham with
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: a private hitting coach. It was Carlos narvaias the Red
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Sox catcher, one of the catchers there, who said, hey,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: you should look into this, and he did, and he's
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: swinging the bat much better in the past week. A
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: small sample size, I get it, but I remember that
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: story came out with key Brian Hayes a few years ago,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: and a lot of guys have private hitting coaches. But
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: this is like the extreme May Before every game, I'm
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: going to this facility and I'm going to work with
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: essentially an outside coaching staff because it's not working for
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: me right now for the first start of the season.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've talked to hitting coaches about this, and a
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: lot of them are okay with this. They have to
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: figure out how to work with this. Because guys do
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: have their own hitting coaches. There was never I mean
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: playing there was nobody had their own hitting coach. You
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: had the hitting coach that was on the team you
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: were playing for, and you talk to him and you
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: figure it out, and there might have been an assistant
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: hitting coach. And I remember when we first got an
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: assistant hitting coach. I'm like, man, what's assistant hitting coach
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: going to do? But this is what guys do now.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: They have their own guy. They believe in certain things.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: It's someone they've known for a long time and they trust.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: And that's the hardest job of being a pitching a
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: hitting coach is you got to earn the players trust.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: But sometimes players don't give you that opportunity, and then
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: they go to their own guys. And every time I
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: talk to every time I talk to hitting coaches, they say,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: you know what, guys have their own guy. I need
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: to talk to them. I need to figure out what
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: they're telling our guys because I'm around them every day.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: What happens when Durbin goes on the road. You can't
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: go to Waltham that day, so how does he figure
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: it out that day. So the hitting coach has to
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: be on the same page. So it's a tough job.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: As a hitting coach used to say, the hitting coach
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: makes his money at the bar after the game, because
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: everyone go to the bar and we talk about our
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: bats and have a beer and talk to the hitting
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: coach and he'd pump you up even if you were
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: in a slump. But nowadays they go to their own guy,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: and you got it. As a hitting you got to
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: be on that side. You've got to be able to
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: relate what you see along with what their personal guy says.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: Kobe Rasmus got in deep, deep with Tony LaRussa because
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: he was taking He was going in the morning hitting
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: at a high school field in Saint Louis with his dad,
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: his personal hitting coach, and trying to get him right,
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: and he got hot and he found out about it.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: LaRussa found out about it and called the high school
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: coach and told him to lock the field and not
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: let him there. So Kobe Rasmus didn't play that long ago.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: So for hitting coaches to say, hey, I'm letting my
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: guy or letting their guy go see their guy, then
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: you know time has changed, but I remember Kolbe told
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: me that story and the Razzle Dazzle was not too pleased.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, times have changed. It's still definitely hurts the egos
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: when you hear about that, especially at the guy's success.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: But ultimately, if you're the team, you should want the
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: guy to have success. I did want to dive deeper
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: into the Padres guys for a moment. Aj. I know,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: we talked about them for a bit yesterday and then
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: asked Ken. They've lost nine to ten. They went zero
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: to six and an eleven day span against the Phillies.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: They have the worst offense in baseball, and you add
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: that all up and I mean they're still not in
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: a bad spot, but just wondering if it looks like
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: some spiral or a team that they just matched up
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: really poorly against in Philadelphia. I mean they had their number.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: No, they can't hit. This has always been the thing.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: If you have Tattoos, Machado and Jackson Merril all three
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: not hitting, that's a lot of offense to try to
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: make up from guys like Gavin Sheets and Miguel and
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: Duhar and some of the others. So's it's a weird
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: situation in San Diego. They're still in a good spot
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: for the postseason. They're pitching really well, they're bullpen as
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: always again really well. They've gotten huge hits from a
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: lot of people so far this year, but right now
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: they need Machado, Tatis and Jackson Merrill to start swinging
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: the bats.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: It's amazing because people are going to bang the drama.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: They don't have enough slug well, they don't and do
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: a lot of other things either. Besides Sheets, they have
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: no regular everyday player over an eight hundred ops and
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Gavin Sheets is just barely over at eight oh six.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: So it's one of those things that they clearly made
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: the roster to be the type of team because we've
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: seen this for the last few years. And for them,
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: they have to play really good defense. They have to
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: shorten games with their bullpen, and unfortunately, when you have
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: a team that has four or five good guys in
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: the bullpen, you're gonna win one run games. But you
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: could actually help and save those guys by scoring a
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: few more runs and not needing to go to Maury
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: home Estrada and Adam and Mason Miller on back to
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: back to back to back nights and you start wearing
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: those guys down when it could get really bad. In July.
• 31:07
