• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Nick pitching the Bigs now he's part of the Cleveland
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: broadcast team. Pumped out him on FT here for the
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: first time. So all right, give us the goods on
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Cleveland so far. Give us a grade for the Guardians
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: in their first week.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I mean it's six games in.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: You know, we had some we had the whole the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: backle with with the food poisoning going on, with Tanner Biby, Uh,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: you know, been lively stepped up, did a great job
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: on opening day.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: It's hard to I mean, you guys know, six games in,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: nobody's too worried about it. Seven games in, Sorry, nobody's
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: too worried about what's going on. I would like to
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: see a little more offense. I'd like to see the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: pitchers go a little deeper in the games. Uh, class
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: a needs to clean up a little bit. But we're
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: just working the jitters out right now. The biggest thing is,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you know, will Steven Vote be able to steer the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: ship like he did last year?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: And I think he will. It's it's still early, man,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it's too early to really call.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: But it was historic last year from the bullpen, like
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: last year's run was historic in the sense that if
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: they need to do that again to make the playoffs.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: You said, I need a little bit more length from
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: the spring rotation. Are they built even do that? Bieber
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: coming off of his surgery but wanting to prove it
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: so he's gonna want to stay out there. Are they
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: going to be able to get more length to be
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: able to not lean on a historic bullpen?
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Well, it's easy for the managers to go, let's get
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: this guy going, Let's get this guy going.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: When they're all studs. It's easy. It's easy to do that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: But you don't want to blow out your bullpen early
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: on in the season, right, being a bullpen guy, you
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: don't want to You don't want to burn the guys
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: out in the first half and then have them limp
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: into the playoffs that during the second half. Right, So
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: it's like you got to find that good balance of
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: being able to maybe go five, maybe go six, and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: then use the guys sparingly. Obviously, it's important to win
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: every single game, but in the beginning, let's just shake
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: some of the rust off. They had a long season
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: last year. You know, I'm assuming some of the guys
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: are a little bit tired. The arms are probably just
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: starting to bounce back. A lot of those guys have
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: never pitched in the postseason, and uh, it will take
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: a little bit of time. But I'm not worried about it, dude.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Cleveland finds a way to win every year.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Everybody.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: On paper, they don't look the best per se, but
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: they find a way to get it done. The other
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: team in the in the central I think it's gonna
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: be good is the Tigers. I think it's gonna be
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Cleveland and the Tigers are gonna be back and forth
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: this year, and that's those are matchups that I can't wait.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: And you spoke on Shane Bieber.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, dude, I mean that's gonna be the biggest
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: get come All Star break any team could ask for.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: You got a veteran presence, and in Bieber you have
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: a cy young and All Star Game MVP.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Cleveland loves them, he loves Cleveland.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, I can't wait for Shane Bieber to get
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: back and and and pitch for the Guardians.
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: Jose Ramirez has He's been an absolute doe his whole career. Man,
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: He's put up some really good numbers, hitting from both sides.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: What are your what are your expectations from him this year?
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: You know, kind of a little slow, but again we
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: talk about you know, it's only seven games. Explain, Explain
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: to me, what do you think you're gonna see from
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: the big Dog as usual? I mean, you see this
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: guy come up to the plate, You're like, no way,
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: and he just absolutely dominates.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, aside for being one of the best Mario
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Kart players I've ever seen my entire life, which I think.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's absolutely incredible at Mario Kart Uh, he's
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: another guy, dude. I mean, he's in the contention for
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: m v P every year. He will be a Cleveland
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. Slow start or not, who cares he can.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: The thing about him is like he can make up
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: for it on defense. If he has a terrible game
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: on offense, he picks it up on defense. And when
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the offense and the defense start clicking. I mean, dude,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: he's in my opinion, he's one of the best pure
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: baseball players in the game. His takes, like his approach
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to the playoff from both sides is incredible. Uh, you know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I thought Michael Brandley was one of the best hitters
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: pure hitters I've ever seen. Jose Ramirez is up there,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: if not a very close second, on just his approach,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the way he takes the balls away, he gets into
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: deep counts, makes the pitcher's work, never gives up anything.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: So like when you're watching them, you're just like, dude,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: how do you get this? How do you get this?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I get this guy out bro' you know, I you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and and and various words there. I I held my tongue.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: But on the mound, You're like, what in the you
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. It's like, but I'm not worried
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: about him. He'll turn it. The whole team will turn on.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: We got Nolan Jones two's making great players out there.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: So I mean, I'm just not Cleveland. I'm not worried
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: about They will find a way, voter will get him
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: back on track. It's it's just like whatever you come
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: out of the gate a little slow. As as the
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: adage goes, it's not how you start, it's how you.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Got it.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: You got it, But there you go.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: You just went. You just went. From Jose Ramirez, one
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: of the guys that Cleveland's extended. This is extension season. Clearly,
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: Jackson Merrow could tell markte got his Christian Campbell's like
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: got four days of cleat, four days of dirt and
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: his cleats. Why do the Guardians not do this more?
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: Why do the Guardians? Is it because they got burned
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: by Miles Straw? Deal? Shouldn't they do it more? And
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: should they be offering a ton of these guys? And
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: who would be your first guy that they should offer?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Right now?
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know how much I can say.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not trying to get canceled right before my first
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: appearance here, but uh, you know, I think, you know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: just back when I played, they they were heavily after Lindor,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: like they were heavily after Lindor, and I just don't
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: think that they can compete monetarily with uh, you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: some of the bigger market teams. I really like as
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: far as extensions, you know that, you know. I like
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: guys in the pen man. I think being comfortable where
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: you're at, knowing where you're gonna be, knowing when you're
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: gonna pitch in the game goes a long way. I
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: like Kate Smith, I like Hunter Gaddis, I like those
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: I like those two. Aside from that, I mean Rochio
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: was pretty good, and I mean Stephen Kwan. Yeah, I don't,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know what their money looks like and how
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: much they can dish out to certain players and whatnot.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I also really like Ben Lively. I mean, he's a
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Florida guy. He's one of my good friends. He's just
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: a guy whos gonna go out eight innings, never complains,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: goes out. I mean, like I said, he called him
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: from Arizona to start on opening day in Kansas City
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: and goes five, Like, you know, you need a guy
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: like that. It's like we're kind of remind I don't know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: like a Trevor Williams type of guy. He goes out,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: he just gets the job done every time, doesn't complain.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: He's somebody that you could you could buy low and
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: and and hopefully has.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: A you know, a great season, which I think you will.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: We know you were a pitcher. You were pretty good
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: at what you did. All these new pitchers that have
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: come out the splinker, the kick change, all these other things.
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: You think you still be pitching. If you knew any
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: of these, would you have tried them out back in
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: the day.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Bro, your boys still got it?
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: Oh baby, don't do that. You were you were a summer,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: you were sliders. You would have tried everyone pitches.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: The thing is, I couldn't get the ball to go
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: to the right.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: I could get it to go to the left, and
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: all the new pictures are getting the ball to go
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: to the right.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Look, Cratzy Carats. He's saying, I'm a thumber. But ask
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: him how his thumb felled after your boy came in.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Just slow it down. More sliders, more sliders. I got
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: to catch.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: I got to catch a nick for like six six seconds,
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: and then he got called up to the vag leagues.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: He abandoned us in.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: So I'll never forget my most memorable bus ride with you, though. Man,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I've been telling you. I need to hear it. I
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: need you to serenade me before this is Oh, I
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: need to hear the vocals.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Oh wow, it won't happen.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I will say this. I will say this.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I the last change up that I threw. All right,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I'll give you this story. I'm in the big leagues.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: We are facing I'm with New York, We're facing Baltimore.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Baltimore absolutely owned me fifteen and sixteen. I owned the
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: White Sox. I got videos of Todd looking but regardless, they.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Absolutely on me. So I go out one night.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I think the whole Baltimore Oriols team had to flu
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: that night, punch out the side like I'm feeling good.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: This is when they had this Scranton Express crat. So
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: you know that I come in the next day Chad
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Green sitting in there, and I'm like what's up, bro?
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Like nice, I'm looking around, like who's getting sit down?
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Like definitely not me. I'll just punched out the side
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: against freaking hardy Chris Davis, you know, Machado. Like I
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: was feeling sexy and about I don't know. Twenty seven
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: seconds later, Larry comes in, Hey, Joe.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Wants to see you. I'm like, ruh, you gotta be
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: kidding me. Go into the office.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: It's Girardi, it's Larry Rothchild, it's our GM Brian Cashman.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: And they gave me this like thirty minute spiel on
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: how I need to throw a change up, how the
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: change up is going to be effective to lefties. I
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: need to throw it. I need to throw it. And
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm just sitting there. At this point, I've
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: been optioned probably I don't know, nine times, bite my
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: lip a little bit.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Finish the meeting.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I'm walking out.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Larry puts his arm around me, and if he watches
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: this show, Larry, I appreciate it. But he's like, man,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: you don't need to throw a change up. He's like,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: you're good. Fast ball slider is good. So I had
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: this thirty minute meeting about how you to throw a
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: change up. How I'm getting option to triple A. And
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: then I got told that I don't need to throw
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: a change up. But me being a douche I am,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I'm like, no, no, no, we're throwing a change up.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: So I get down a triple A. We're playing in Buffalo.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Garry Santez is catching me and Darryl Ceciliani's up. If
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: you remember that name, left handed hitter for Toronto Blue Jays.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I come into the eighth quick work in the eighth inning.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: We go out. In the ninth. I got We're up
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: by two. I get one out.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Cecileoni comes up, get two strikes on him real quick.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Gary put down fastball, shake, puts down fastball inside shake,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: throes down a slider, shake, slider outside, Shake, gives me
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: one of these, and I'm like, oh yeah, you want
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: to change up, you want to change.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Up, I give it to you. Throw an absolute dime.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Bro just.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Sinks right on into his barrel. He hits at about
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: seven hundred feet. Before I turn around, Gary's already Gary's
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: already out the picture's mind with me. He's laughing, He's
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: got his got his glove over his face. Nice can
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: change up throws the ball in my glove walks back.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Last one I ever threw, never threw one.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Do you think I can't change up? You think the
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: change up would have gotten off the torpedo bat. You
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: think it would have missed the torpedo barrel.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Never no chance, bro the torpedo that thing don't miss? Man?
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Have you seen that?
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: What do you?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: What do you think about that? You know?
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: What?
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: What?
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: How from pictures ex pictures standpoint because like we have
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: a we have all position players on here. I won't
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: even say what our opinion of it was, but as
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: a picture, what's your view of it?
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, if it's within the rules, I have no
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: problems with it.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: But you know, I mean they look, you know whatever,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: like the home there. The Yankees are killing it. Other
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: teams are using it.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: They're not hitting it as good as New York is,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: but you know, it is what it is. But if
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: you're gonna use torpedo bats, let the boys use a
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: little stick.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Let the boys use a.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Little pond tar, a little sunscreen and rosin. Let's let's
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: let's get the game back to where it was. And
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: and uh, let's let's even the playing field a little bit.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: You know, that's my thought on it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, you guys know as as hitters. I mean,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: especially in the colder months early on in the year.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: You don't want I mean, you don't want the picture
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: throwing ninety five up and in and has no idea
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: where it's going. You want them to, you know, have
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: a little You would give up I think you as got.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: You can correct me if I'm wrong, but you would
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: give up a little control for stuff, or you would
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: have a little more, a little more control and a
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: little more stuff than being erratic, you agree or not.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: No picture has ever truthfully taken their sunglasses off and
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: looked me in the eye and said, you know what,
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: if I had a little skinky stuff, I could be
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: able to control it. No, they said, if I could
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: have a little sticky stuff that would spin faster, it
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: would spin this way fast. That's the only reason and
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: all that's the only reason that you needed sticky stuff.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you the only year I used sticky
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: stuff was in Triple A, and it's the year that
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: they banned it, and I had supreme control. My stuff
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: was maybe a tick better, just talk, just.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: A little better.
• 14:29
