  Speaker 1: Hey, what do you have for me on Garrett Crochet.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: We're about to talk to Dan Hayes about the Twins
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: and we can ask him about Crochet. Since the Twins
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: burn all star lefty starters, Crochet ten earned runs eleven
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: runs total. He recorded five outs, no punch outs. It
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: was the most uncharacteristic Garrett Crochet outing ever.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it happens. It happened, everybody. Oh, look at these is.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: He's not the only.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: One scooble fromber Crochet a target field in the past week,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: twenty two earned runs in eleven innings. That's an eighteen
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: twenty eight hit. Seven walks. Don't stop the Twins, machinede.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: They're hot, baby, They're hot on. All you people out
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: there that say the Twins weren't going to be good,
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: look at them.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Go now, we'll take it all back. All you other people.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Wait for the one minute same here for the one
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: minute that we have.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Before your other people. Scott craps.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: With Crochet. This stuff was down a little bit, like
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: they were talking.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I know they were always stuff was down.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And he didn't look yet, you know, like some guys are,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: like I'm looking at every reading right even between innings.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Crochet is clearly not that guy. He probably looks later,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: but he was like, oh, well, my stuff is down?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: What was it? And I think the reports were, oh,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: it's not like a mile an hour. I was like, okay, cool,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I'm fine.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Guy.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: You know, like you would think it.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Was it was cold out. You're right, it was cold out.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: And you know what. We had Tristan Gray on yesterday.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Who does he play for the Twins?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: He didn't play, but we should have known.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: But imagine if like you're a starter, like an ace
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and and you might like you get a million mics
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: in your face and they're like, your stuff's down?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And you're thinking like, oh crap, was my stuff down
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: like three miles an hour? It's down a point, he's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: down one mile an hour? Okay, I'm next.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Would be con question, bro next next?
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Oh no, they were jumping all They had a game
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: plan and the entire team stuck with it. That's the
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: most I've watched a Twins game this year, other than
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Trek Scooble's game. And they had a game plan. Everything
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: that was down, everything that was gonna be an all
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: speed pitch down in his zone. They were just like
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: we're just not gonna swing and they were just hopping
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: on that heater. They hopped on Trek Scooble's heater. They
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: just didn't swing at his change up. Like great, great
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: team approach. It clearly had an approach that they executed
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: against three really good lefties.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: It's really hard to get a team to do that,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: to get especially against guys. I mean, I'll never forget
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: speaking of the Twins. When I was in the White Sox,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Johan Santana, who won two so Young's and was a
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: great pitcher for a long time.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: We had all his pitches.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Okay, we we still couldn't hit him, but we knew
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: when he was doing to change up.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Hey, Dan Hayes is back with us on FT covers
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the Twins for the Athletic and one of the new
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: hosts of Twin Cities Territory. Dan, great to have you on.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: We love having you on the FT team. The show
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: sounds great and the team looks really good. The first
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, what has gotten into the Twins?
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Maybe hater hater?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybeter Pole add the new owner or the new
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: control owner was right. He had been telling you guys
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: all off season. This team's good.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: Look, the hopometer was four point three percent going into
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: the season, the Athletics Hopemeters. There were like six teams
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: below sixty percent in baseball and the Twins were at
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: four point three percent. So thanks to the Twins for
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: doing this to help pump up the show at the start,
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: and you know, have fans want to tune in and listen.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: But you know, you guys were talking about the roller
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: coaster on that last segment and going into that schoobl
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: start a week ago.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: This was a team that.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Was had a five thirty ops against left handed pitching
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: starting pitching so far this season and over the last week,
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: it's been those four games that you guys were the
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: two in Toronto. They didn't win on Friday, but they
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: got to Corman as well, so they've they've hit lefty pitching.
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: It was a matter of time sort of like Lindor,
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: where you knew Buckson was gonna hit better than he
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: had been. You knew that Luke Kishaw was going to
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: start to hit a little bit.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: They weren't performing.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: Through the first nine games, and now here we are,
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: you know, with this the slow run where they took
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: swept Tigers for four and took two of three in
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Toronto and then beat up Crochet last night. And a
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: team that was way at the bottom of the offensive
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: numbers now is fifth and runs scored. So it's a
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: roller coaster. I think that what you're seeing so far.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: You mentioned Eric the approach. I went over and listened
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: to Cora and Crochet just to hear what they had
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: to say. And Cora was said before the game that
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: he knew they jumped on lefties and and said they
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: covered everything up last night. They were so disciplined with it.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: You're right, it's a team that's working together. I think
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: that's going to be the key for this group because
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: there is a lot of high end draft pick talent that's.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: Never really been realized. You look around the room yesterday.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: One of the Red Sox writers came over to us
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: and he's like, I haven't heard a lot of these guys,
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: and I was like, well, first rounder, first rounder, first rounder,
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: second rounder, and they've been in the big leagues for
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: a little while, but it just hasn't happened.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: This is a good start for this group.
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: They needed some good vibes given how down fans are,
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: and I think that's the most optimal way to start
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: a season is just to come out because they're battling cold.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: They're battling miserable temperatures.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: The last time Mick Abel started, or two times ago,
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: it was twenty four degrees wind chill when he started
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: the game. I mean, I don't know how you hit
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: in that. I don't know how you pitching that. They're
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: seventeen April home games this year, so plenty of chances
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: to be in that miserable cold, and they're finding a
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: way to kind of make it work. And it's great
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: for them, it's great for their fans.
• 5:56

• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Just want to make sure I'm not a hater.
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: Me.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Sorry, these are both twins and bableheads of me. Yes,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: that's me. I'm both of them, So I'm not a
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: hater of the twins. But what I mean, what what?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Honestly, you have to be surprised. Everybody's a little bit surprised. Yea,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I know the twins are gonna say, we're not surprised.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: We thought we had this. Everyone's a little bit surprised
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: by this. But what is it? Derek Shelton, is it?
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Dad Levine and that crew in Fallavey being gone? What
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: what has changed Because you mentioned the team approach. It's
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: not like they got a bunch of new players. They
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: just kind of brought guys up from the organization. So
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: what is the new voice that's changed in this clubhouse
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: to make them have this team approach and also be
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: better pitching.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: Well, Derek Shelton, win was the bench coach, was great
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: at the relationship part of things, and players loved him.
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: And he came in and said, we're gonna make sure
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: everybody is on the same page.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: We're gonna communicate.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: Everybody seems to understand their role and for whatever reason,
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: they are a close knit group. Barn Buckson mentioned last night.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: Shelton mentioned it and a lot of team dinners early,
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: guys just trusting in one another. But you're right, I mean,
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: it is surprising you look and the signs for regression
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: are still there. I mean, this is the team with
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: the worst infield defense by defensive run saved in baseball.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: They don't have a bullpen where right now, there have
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: been thirteen fastballs thrown over ninety seven miles prior to
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: ten of those were Andrew Morris in his debut There
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: to day, he's a starter or has been a starter
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: for his whole career, and right now he's up in
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: the bullpen. Who knows what his long term path is.
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: The other three were Mick Abele on the day he piggybacked,
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: So no other Twins relievers hit ninety seven like that bullpen.
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: There's going to be some regression there. And right now,
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: I mean, as it is, that group is maybe twenty
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: second or twenty third in war, so they haven't even
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: been that great to begin with. So yes, this is
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: propped up a little bit, but there's some really good
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: starting pitching. Taj Bradley has been just incredible so far.
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: Mickable finally when he got a good conditions. You know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: the first one was a piggyback. I wouldn't wish a
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: piggyback on any young pitcher. And his second one was
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: that twenty four degree win chill last time out was
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: like forty degrees. He puted six scoreless against Detroit and
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: looked really good. Joe Ryan finally on his last turn,
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: had a really good outing. So the Simeon Woods. Richardson
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: had four scoreless on Friday. Apparently he had a bad
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: case of subway in Toronto and had foods poisoning and
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: like the outing took, you know, went away from him.
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: Bailey over is still working through velocity stuff.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: His command is better, but he needs that velocity. All
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: that said, I think the starting pitching can keep them
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: in a competitive spot and they know that, and so
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: you see those numbers out there. It's helped them stay
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: in games. And the offense. I mean again, they just
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: seemed to be on board with each other. The veterans
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: have said to young guys, they really liked this coaching staff.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: They like the messaging they're hearing. I think the young
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: guys are trusting that the veterans and these are new veterans.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: Josh Bell has coming and had a really nice influence
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: on the clubhouse.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: Vic Carratini has also done the same thing.
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: Both those guys are coming in and just doing whatever
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: it takes for this team. Kartini is a catcher. He's
• 10:16
  Speaker 6: only caught like four times so far. Ryan Jeffers has
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: done most of the catching. Bell would like to be
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: the first baseman. He's mostly been the DH and I
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: think when guys see those examples, they're more willing to platoon.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: You look at that left field platoon right now between
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: Austin Martin and Trevor Larnok. Martin had two more base
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: hits to jump start those first rallies last night off
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: Crochet and going into last night that group had an
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: eight sixteen ops and left field. That's a team. You know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: that's a surprising spot. But both guys understand that's how
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: they're going to be used, and they're comfortable with it.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: And I think that all that stuff has really helped
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: them out early on. And you know, it's a snowball effect.
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: When you have good vibes going, everybody wants in on it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: Everybody feels good. You saw it with brooks.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: Lee with his walk off hit against or his game
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: winning hit against Detroit. He had started six for thirty
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: one before that. The whole dugout was going crazy for him.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: So they're enjoying the upside of this roller coaster ride.
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: And we'll see how long they can go, because certainly
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: it could be regression with some of the flaws that
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: the roster has.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, so you talked about regression, But which of these
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: I want to say breakout because we're what's seventeen games
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: in right, Which of these hot starts is the most
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: sustainable out of the surprising guys. Like you said, a
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: lot of people don't know these guys out of these
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: starts on the offense, not on pitching. We'll get to pitching, okay,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: Which is the most sustainable for an entire one hundred
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: and sixty two game season.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: That's a good question.
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: Look, I think Josh Bell fits nicely and he's not
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: a surprise guy, so actually we'll disqualify that. Martin has
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: been an on base guy always and it wouldn't shock
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: me to see him end up with a three point
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: fifty three sixty on base He knows how to do that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: You know, it's up around four eighty or five hundred
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: right now.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: I didn't look the last minute, but he's been really
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: good and he's still gonna regress. But if he's a
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: three to sixty on base guy and getting in between
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: Keyshaw and Buxton and kind of setting the table, that's
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: that I think can be sustainable. You know, I don't
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: think we're gonna see brooks Lee hitting the way he has,
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: and he still needs to answer questions, but I think
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: you saw him get that first big hit Thursday against
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: Detroit and then had a nice weekend in Toronto.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Afterwards.
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: I think he's got a chance to come up and
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: show a little bit more. He showed power last year.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: He's a really good fastball hitter. I could see that
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: definitely sustaining. But there's certainly some great stories going on
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: right now. Tristan Gray is thirty. Tristan Gray, you know,
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: I think as most oft bats in any season before
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: this was like ninety five. And he's got two homers,
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: eleven RBIs early on.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: He's filled in nicely at shortstop. Is that sustainable?
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: We'll see thirty, you know, but guys definitely are buying
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: in and I think that allows them, that confidence allows
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: them to keep going until you know, you run into
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: a wall essentially, but it certainly could happen. I mean,
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: I don't think anybody saw this being the fifth best
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: offense in runs scored. You know, they need Matt Walner
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: to hit more, they need Trevor Larnak to keep going.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: I do like Josh Bell's influence on those guys just
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: being a middle order bat. It does not have to
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: be a home run, it does not have to be
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: all or nothing. Josh Bell drops isn't afraid to parachute
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: a ball down the line and find a fine grass.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: He's you know, a really professional hitter. I think that
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: influence will be great for some of the the other
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: guys they'd like to be middle order bats.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: We'll see what Royce Lewis can do. The one thing
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: I like.
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: You know, he's on the aisle right now, but he
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: should be back in that Mets series and next week.
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: He has walked, i believe, twelve times so far. His
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: patience is through the roof. He's got a new swing going,
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: he's got a little more time to see pitches, and
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: we have not seen him do a ton of stuff.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: At the bottom line, he's hitting eight and maybe it's
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: eight walks twelve k's, but look, he's the platform for
• 14:14
  Speaker 6: success is there with him. His walk rates tripled this
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: year and I think that you'll see him have a
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: chance to break out and move more towards the middle
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: to order as.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: This season goes.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: And if that happens, you know, looks the Twins need
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: three guys to really hit, without question, Buckston.
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: Keishaw, Royce Lewis. If you have those three.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: Hitting, you have a shot, especially with the starting pitching
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: keeping them in games.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Will that happen?
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: We'll see Royce Lewis has had fourteen months of struggle
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: coming into this opening day, and it's been encouraging to
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: see what he's done so far. But there's definitely more
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: power there for him to tap into and figure out
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: that swing because he overhauled it entirely this offseason.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Hey, surprisingly for me, you mentioned Brian Brookston. He's the
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: all time leader of home runs at target Field. It
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: seems it doesn't seem like that eighty five. I know
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: it's only been there since what twenty ten, I think
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: was the first year in target Field, But.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Eighty five I thought I thought there would be a
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I guess Morne wasn't thereon mauerd didn't hit any homers.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: It just seems like eighty five is a really low number.
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: It is it is, you know, I think early on
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: Guard he said they were waiting for the concrete to
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: settle in and the ball would start traveling more.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I loved it here. I loved him.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: I thought it was, yeah, it's got a great hitters.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: I batters.
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: I like I think that you look at how it's
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: set up, it's a cool park.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: We'll see. I mean, I think Josh Bell I want
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: to see what he can do.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: This year because it feels like this is the first
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: time he played in Arizona a couple of years ago
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: at the end of the season. But this is a
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: chance to be in a non Kansas City, Washington Miami
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: Hitters park for him, and like, I want to.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: See him attack it. I think Keishall can hit. We'll see.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: I agree with you.
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: It's shockingly low number at eighty five for being a
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: fifteen year old park, but you know, it's probably the
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: way the franchise has always been built, which is you've
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: got young guys, you got about five or six year
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: window with them, and it hasn't been historically easy to
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: keep guys around here, so it's hard to build up
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: some of those totals. Buxton took a contract that in
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty one was seen as a win win for
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: both sides because you know his injury history leading up
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: to that. They couldn't afford to give him what he
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: projected to be worth, which was probably a two hundred
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: million dollar contract if he was healthy. But he took
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: seven years and one hundred million with all these performance escalators,
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: and it basically safeguarding against injury and that's allowed him
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: to stick around and he said it last night. He's
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: not done yet, so I expect that to be, you know,
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: in the one thirties.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: He's got at least.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: Three more years here, so he'll build it up and
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: it will be a high number. But it was Max
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: Kepler's eighty four before that, and you know we saw
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: with him, he took an extension, stayed around for a
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: little bit, but then eventually Max Kepler moved on. And
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: that's what a lot of guys have done over the years,
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: is they get to free agency and they move on.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: So it's hard to accrue those stats.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Just cut our count too soon? Sorry, too soon. He
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: got popped, I know.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I'm just letting everyone know because some people probably forgot.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: But he got popped for Royds. He goes for eds,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: whatever drug of choice, for the pe.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Whatever the drug.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: There are others. It's not always Royd. Testosterone is also
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: a thing. I don't remember which one truth is his,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: but we tell it like it is on this show,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: just like Dan does on Twin City's territory. We got
• 17:42
