• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting hold of snow.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Razed for Friday and Adam on Abino's debut on FT
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: as a host.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: Adam, great to have you on here. Man. How you doing.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I'm good. Thanks for having me today. This is fun.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be good.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I have a lot of questions before we dive into
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the juicy stuff. So first of all, Todd Father Savannah
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Banana's appearance yesterday and round.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Two played for the Party Animals. They were in Lakewood,
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: New Jersey, at the Minor League park there for the
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Phillies and played against the Coconuts. I got into fourth inning,
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: I saw Lefty on the mound, fastball about eighty five
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: right down Broadway, and I just swung as hard as
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: I could, and I was Honestly, I haven't felt that
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: good in years. I popped up hit a short stuff,
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: but it was like a skyball, like if I leveled
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: it off.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: Oh man, I don't know what.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know if I would have hit one out,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: but I would I would have hit it really hard.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: I felt good first pitch swing and I didn't waste
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: any time.
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: What are you gonna do?
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Appearance? Another appearance is needed. Evan is feeling good. We
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: got to see him put his money where his mouth is,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not surprised he went after the first pitch. Well,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: honest us that tracks, that tracks for.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Sure, Uh, they do, they do.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sure Todd will appear again special appearance somewhere and
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: we'll get a danger. The other thing I wanted to
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: mention before we start is to just give you guys
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: some flowers. So you two or two of small number
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: of people that are in the media world in a
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: number of spots. Obviously you're doing the show with us today,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: but you can catch Todd Father on Yes, on ESPN, Autos,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: on NBCESPN other spots. Right, So, you guys are all
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: over the media scene. Obviously you had a good playing career.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: You guys do your homework, You're good on shows and
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: all of that. The other thing that you guys both
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: did that I'm going to give you credit for that
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: means a lot to executives and just other people in
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: the industry is you guys were very available as players
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: and spoke as players. Right, So there are a ton
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: of players that listen to this show and watch back
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: clips and all of that, and you'll hear from dozens
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: every year that want to get involved in media, and
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: sometimes you're like, oh.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Where you've been. No one's heard from you for ten
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: fifteen years, right, I used to Adam's been on shows,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: his hosts, all that. Todd's done the same.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Right, even during your playing career, Todd Father, I remember,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: like you'd pop into a studio for some postseason action.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Adam would do that during the regular season two. So
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: that stuff matters, And I think it's important for each
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of you to just give me like thirty seconds so
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: that all the people watching and listening right now that
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: are in their playing days can understand that there are
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: multiple components to putting yourself in the best position to
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: be a broadcaster if that's what you want to do,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: or be in the media in general after your playing career.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean for me, the rule of thumb for
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: me was be nice to everybody until you don't have
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: to be until they're not nice to you. So I
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: was nice to everybody. I had really good relationships. There
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: was maybe a handful of people who I didn't get
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: along with, and rightfully so because of certain things. But
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: if you want to be media related, you gotta be real.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: You gotta be honest, you gotta be upcoming and up
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: fourth with everybody. And I think for me personally, I
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: tried to build as many relationships as possible, and you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: I have a bunch of friends in the industry, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: once I was done playing, it was kind of an
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: easy transition knowing that there was always that opportunity and
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: people always say, listen, you're gonna make it. You know,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: after the game, you're gonna have a good opportunity. And
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: I just tried building as much friendships and working at
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: this craft as much as possible.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I ow you yeah, you know, for me, I mean
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I think back to like as a kid, you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the way that I digested baseball. You know, I would
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: go to the podaigua on the corner and I would
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: get both of the papers, the Post and the daily news,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and I would read every single article and look at
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: all the stats on the baseball stuff. So I always
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: like respected the profession of like the reporters first and foremost.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: And then when I got to the big leagues, like
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I knew that those people had a job to do,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: so I would develop relationships with those people and always
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: just try to be myself and learn from them. Then
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you get comfortable kind of sharing your opinion and talking
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: about the game, and then as time goes by, you
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: start to think, what's going to happen when I'm done playing.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: So we can play the groundwork by doing some things
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: in the off season and just getting some reps. You know,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: if you don't if you don't get any repetition talking
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: on camera or you know, being yourself comfortably in public,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it's going to be really hard on the back side
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of that. So just try to get ahead of it
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: while you still can, while you're still playing. That's a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: little bit of an advantage. That would probably be my
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: best advice.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Guys are often trying to get that first gig too,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and it can be difficult. It's much easier if you're
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: coveted when you're a current player and people would love
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: to have you on to be an interview or a
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: host or you know, a special guest host whatever on
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: a show, and then people can see, oh, look they're good.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: We have to get that person on my platform once
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: he's done with his playing career.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: So good advice there, good stuff.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: One more thing before we dive into some news and happenings.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: That's more on the fun side. Jackson Holliday had the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Grand Slam the other day on Bark in the Park
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: night and he said, quote, I think every night should
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: be bark in the Park. I don't think there should
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: be any rules, Todd father. Should we try and make
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: a stance there. We're going to do a poll in
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: our today. I'm good with it dogs all day.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: I don't mind. I think you're asking a wrong guy.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: I've never had a pet in my life, and I'm
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: not saying I'm not sensitive towards animals. I love them
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: to death, but I wouldn't mind it. I wouldn't mind it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: But I'm not over the skis on it, you know
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: what I mean. So yeah, I mean you just got
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: to make sure they're tamed a little way so they
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: need it. There's a lot that has to go through it.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I think he's got a point, but you got to
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: put you know, what they call little doggie bags in
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: case they go to the bathroom. You know what happens
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: if they urinate everywhere. I don't know something. There's there's
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: a lot more. But I don't think, uh, I don't
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: think he's far from it. I mean, I don't I
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: don't think it's a bad idea.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Otto. I know you have a pup, I have one too.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I was originally thinking, can we find a happy medium
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: here where there's like pups sections, which which you can do,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: but you don't want all the dogs or I guess
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: if you open it up to cats or other animals,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: but you don't want all the pups in one spot,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: because then they're all going to be, you know, having
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: a shouting contest.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough because now that I have a dog,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: like I understand, I understand a little bit of what
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: he's saying. You know, the more the merrier, but there's
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of people out there that don't agree with that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So to me, it's like, I like that it's scheduled
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: on a certain day and people know what they're getting
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: into when they go to the on that day. I
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: would say a section, but then you have that same
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: problem that you just mentioned that they're all together and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that's not always the best combination for disruption and stuff
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: like that. So I don't know, maybe maybe how about
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: how about more often, like we could do like a
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: couple of months, how about that?
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: Okay, all right, did you happen to see the guy
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: that got hurt when the dog was going to get
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: the bat.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: In the minor leagues or in college, did you see that?
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did see that. I did see that. Was
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that was not it?
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's not barking the park because they're in
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: the stands. But what happens if a dog finds his
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: way on the field and guys, you know what I
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: mean that it's a rarity, don't get me wrong, rarity.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: But still you're like, that can't happen, you know.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: I think there's a better chance of that problem with
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the human because you don't leash the humans, but you
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: leash the dogs. I mean, no leash on the dog's auto.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: You're ejected from the ballpark. That's unacceptable. You have to
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: have a leash, even if you think your dog's the
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: star on Earth.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: It's not that complicated. But I like Adam's idea.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Can we mix in more of these that, you know, hey,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: every whatever Tuesday or something like that at the ballpark.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I know you can't totally plan that, sometimes teams go
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: on the road for a while, but maybe we just
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: put two or three on the calendar every month for
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: each ball club. I think that would be cool. We'll
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: do a little poll in the YouTube chat to see
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: what people think.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Let's charge charge. What do we have here.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna start with Adam just because it's Trek Scooble
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: coming back, and this is crazy right with the nano
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: needle being a revolutionary surgery that can get the loose bodies,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: surgery for pitchers done a lot quicker in terms of
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: recovery time. Thirty eight days after the surgery, Trek school
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: was coming back. Usually it would be two three months
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: for that thing. So he's going to return on Saturday.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: This big series coming up for the Tigers against Cleveland.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: They've got a big divisional run going on right now.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Now and the season catches up on you quickly if
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: you have such a bad month of May, like Detroit.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Did they need to keep churning right now? They've won
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: six of eight. I think their record in June is
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: even a little better than that, maybe seven and two
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: something along those lines. They've been much better in June.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: But your thoughts on the Tigers and Schooble's return, Yeah.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: They're obviously connected, right. He's the best pitcher in the
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: world by many measures. This recovery timeline has never been
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: seen before. To your point earlier, it's usually multiple months.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: This is wild one rehab starts throwing ninety eight ninety
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: nine in his rehab start, so I'll be watching him
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: eyes peeled. But this is super important for the Tigers
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: because this is how they're built. I mean, at the
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: end of the day, they're a pitching chaos group with
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: two guys that are supposed to really you know, pull
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the truck along at the front of the rotation between
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Schooble and Framber. So they've dug himself this hole because
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: of the injuries and because of some poor play, and
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the reality is they got to play like a first
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: place team from right now until the deadline. Otherwise it's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: going to be too late and they're going to have
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to make some tough decisions, especially on Terek. So I
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: think that the timeline is like partially just possibly incredible
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: because of the new procedure, but it's also Tigers kind
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of need him to go, you know school. Blake Snell
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: had the same procedure, but he's not coming back for
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: at least the sixty DAYIL. So the Dodgers are in
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a different circumstance. They can take
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: their time, whereas I don't think Detroit can. So I'm
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: curious to see how he actually looks, not just this weekend,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: but also like in a week or two and if
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: this really was the miracle procedure, or if there's some
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: other you know, maybe shoes to drop that we don't
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: know about yet.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: And here's a deal.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: So they're, you know, looking at the standards in nine
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: games out of their division.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: Five and a half out of the wildcard.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: This wildcard is insane if you really think about how
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: many teams are under five hundred still have a really
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: really good shot of making the playoffs. It's absolutely crazy
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: to me, and it's I think it's good for baseball.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: It's good for the fans, of course, but he's only
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: one guy. He doesn't play five days, he doesn't play
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: every day. He plays every fifth day. Yeah, when he
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: goes that fifth day, guess what they're gonna have to
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: win and that and that's even that's hard to do
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: as well.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: So I root for him.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I still think the Tiger trouble Casey Mayes has been hurt.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: They won six out of last eight, which is fine,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: but ultimately, you know, Schooble is you know, one of
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: the best, if not the best pitcher in baseball.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: Right now, I want to make sure he's healthy.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I want to make sure he can get through six
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: to seven innings and feel fine. If even one rehab start, okay,
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: that makes you feel good. But at the same time,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: now you get to a big league game, the adrenaline
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: is pumping more fans, the excitement, Hey, all the pressures
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: on you. I wish the best for this team, but
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: you know, right now, I don't know outside looking in.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a sense of urgence with Detroit and
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: with Scooble Adam because he's gonna be a free agent
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: and he should cash out big time. He's been one
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: of the best pitchers in our sport for quite a
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: few years now.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Detroit desperately needs him back.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Blake Snell just got the nano needle, and he's gonna
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: take an extra like two weeks versus what Scoble did. Right,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: So he had surgery thirteen days after Schooble, whose scheduled
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: starts Saturday. They put Snell on the sixty day IIL.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: So the earliest he can return is July eleven, fifty
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: three days after a surgery. That's the earliest would be
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: two weeks later than Schooble. It could be even later
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: than that. Dodgers are in a very different spot, not
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: just this year, but in all years. The way that
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: they do things is we're gonna wait, no matter what,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: we want this guy healthy for the stretch run. We
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: feel confident enough in the other depth that we have,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: so both individual Snell in a longer term contract and
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Dodgers were okay right now puts us in two different spots.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I'll be curious to see how Scooble looks and then
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: how Snell looks, because these are our test monnies, right.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, We've never i mean, look, we've never seen anything
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: like it. It's it's wild. I mean, there's suck looking
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: bone chips out of his elbow with a tiny needle, like,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, what where are we right now? Where I'm
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: very confused by this procedure. But you watch him play catch,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: even Snell's already throwing, and it looks like nothing happened
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: at all. Which this is a major leap forward if
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: this is the case, because pitchers deal with this stuff
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: all the time. But Schoogle's role on the Tigers is
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: so outsized relative to like Snell on the Dodgers, like
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: they're both star pitchers. But the Tigers cannot win without
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: schoobl There's just no way, there's no Roadmackath back, so
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: they needed him back. I think from his free agency standpoint,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: you'd rather be safe than sorry. So that makes me think, Man,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: they are pretty confident. He's pretty confident that this is good.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I guess there's maybe a little bit of incentive to
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: get back and show a large body of work this year,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: but I honestly, I think it's making me think that
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: this is really this is the real deal. He really
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: feels good and he's going to go out there and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: do his thing like like normal.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Hey, this episode of FT is presented by Seed Geek.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: We'll talk more about Sea Geek, but also this is
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: what we're going to talk about right now.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Tickets this weekend. If you could go to a game,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: where can you go?
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna start because I want to see Yankees and
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Blue Jays matching up all weekend in Toronto. So for me,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the ideal weekend, if I could just draw it up,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: is I watch a little bit of Adam and Todd
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Father on Yes and then I pick a game where
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I actually go to Toronto and I get my ten
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: percent off with the Yuseki code territory ten. But what
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: do you guys have for us on that series this weekend?
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Like if someone's up in Canada, Todd Father, why should
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: they go?
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Well, that's a big one. I mean, Trey Savage is
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: starting for the Blue Jays. He's absolutely failthy remember watching
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Adam to one game and this guy, he's big in stature,
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: throws a nasty split action fastball. He took it to
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: him the last time. I mean, I think they got
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: the lost out, unfortunately.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: For the Blue Jays.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: But him alone makes me want to go watch a
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: baseball game. And these teams were battling last year, so
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: you know, no Aaron Judge, no Stanton. I mean the
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Yankees finding a way to win games in Cleveland, can
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: they do the same in Toronto, which was their bugaboo
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: last year.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: I'm all for this game right now.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: And Schlitler's pitching on Saturday. I want to see him
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: go in Toronto. Also, Paul Skeens is pitching Sunday in Pittsburgh.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: If you want to go, check out tickets in Pittsburgh
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: at him anything else for us on this series, we
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: should keep an eye on the one that you're gonna
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: be more locked in on.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, Toronto needs to get going, and nothing really
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: gets the juices flowing quite like playing the Yankees and
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Rogers Center there. So I mean, I think this is
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: a big opportunity for them to kind of reassert themselves
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and have a good feeling coming after this because they
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: have kind of dominated the Yankees in their building. So
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: just looking just looking for signs of life with Toronto,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: signs of a little momentum for the for that club.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: You know, I think we all think that they have
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: more in the tank and we just haven't seen it
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: quite yet consistently.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: A couple others to keep an eye on here if
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: you're looking for tickets this weekend in Boston, Jacob de
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Grom's pitching against Ranger Suarez on Saturday. The White Sox
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: host the Dodgers this weekend, including Almamoto on Saturday.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: And then we mentioned Schoogle.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: You want to see that game and you're in Cleveland,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: witness a little history with Schoogle coming back from this
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: revolutionary surgery, then go for it. Let's hit the code
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: for you territory one zero on Sea Geek over thirty
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: five million downloads. That is why it's MLB go to
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: spot for tickets. This marketplace also offers you a little
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: green dot red dot situation make it nice and easy
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: on which seats you should target Green, good, red bad.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Go check it out, go hit a game this weekend.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Todd Father talked me through this one. So talking Friars,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: who covered the Padres, he said, Manny went to Judge's
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: hitting coach and got worse. Quote for Manny, I'm not
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: making excuses about anything working with Shank. I think that's
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: teacher Man is not a reason. There were a lot
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: of great things that came out of that, So it's
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: not an excuse.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know the guy personally, but what he does,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: some of the stuff he does, it's just comical talking
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: about the what is his name, teacher Man, that's what
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: his name is.
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: He's trying to reinvent something that only a few people
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: can do. Aaron Judge can do it because he's six'.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Seven in my, opinion there's a lot of holes in
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: the swing he tries. TEACHING i think every kid that
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: you teach in the game from six years old all
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: the way up into the big. Leagues their swing is
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: not meant to be the. Same, yeah with different body,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: structures different hand, movements different, powers different lower halfs that
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: they use to. Swing some people over, rotate some people under,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: rotate some people.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: Just use your. Hands everybody's.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Different and to try and teach somebody one way of
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: hitting that has never done it, before you, know AND
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: i give credit To, manny you, know looking and trying something.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: Different BUT i think Knowing manny and who the, guy
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: he is just going through. It, man that's part of.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: It that's part of. Baseball we all do go through.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: IT i think more of it is up. Here and
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: you don't need some guy coming in and you know telling,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: you well you need to do. This you can't reinvent
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: the wheel where he's at in his. Career and, Again
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: i'm not trying to knock the guy or cause a
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: big commotion or.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: PROBLEM i just don't believe you can teach one.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Person you can teach, Everybody all hitters one way of
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: swinging when their bodies don't go that.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: Way that's all.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Show A otani is the best player on the.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Planet he might be the best player, ever so when anything,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: happens we're gonna cover it at length as we. Should
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Dave roberts Het otani felt discomfort in the back of

  Speaker 2: Game we might even find out if he's going to
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: playing in today's game by the end of this. Show
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: but forget about that for a. Moment, adam you just
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: have to be so careful with this. Guy and it's
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: not even like a knock on his injury. Past it's
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: just that he's doing two things. Right his workload is

  Speaker 2: had the surgery and there's been some. Issues i'll let
• 19:29

  Speaker 1: Lose he's got to be out there in some, capacity
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: pitching or. Hitting being that it's the left, leg it
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: concerns me a little. Bit on the, mound that's your landing.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Leg you really need to brace your body as you
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: come through with that. Leg SO i don't love. THAT
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: i do feel like show he seems to have a
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: total lack of respect for any type of injury he.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Has he just powers and comes right back even. STRONGER
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: i mean throwing one hundred miles an hour off of
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Double Tommy. John so he throws caution into the wind
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: quite a. Bit and that's obviously awesome to watch us a,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: competitor but if you're if you're managing that, situation you
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: got to be careful with this. Guy there's no, way
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: there's no way you can lose him for an extended
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: period of. Time So i'm taking the decision out of
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: his hands if it's if it's up in the air
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: a little bit here.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: And, listen he's he's doing two.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: THINGS i people are, like, OH i wull you know

• 21:13
  Speaker 4: what it, is you, know But i've had that, before
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: had meniscus, surgery SO i understand that's where it usually.
• 21:21

  Speaker 4: All, speculation but you never know exactly what that could.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: Be any discomfort for, him sit him, down take a
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: couple of days, off and you, know we'll see if

  Speaker 1: It.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: Play, yeah it's very.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Concerning, yeah and like you Mentioned, ADAM i, mean he
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: overcomes everything and then looks better and. BETTER i, mean
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: tell me what you're seeing from him on the. Mound for,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: example this year you followed. Him this is the best we've.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Seen it's it's, Unbelievable. SCOTT i mean the Double Tommy.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: John last, year they built him up, slowly it worked out.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Great you, know one ANOTHER, mvp one Another World. SERIES
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: i thought they were going to do the same thing this.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Year BUT i get the feeling like this guy needs
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: a new challenge every single, year and this, year you,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: know he's got his his high set on That Cy Young,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: award so he's come out guns. Blazing he's a different
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: pitcher almost every time he touches the, mound which is
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: what a lot of the best guys in the game
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: are doing right, now switching up their, picks pitch. Mix
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: he's doing an incredible job of throwing ninety, two ninety
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: three and then one hundred when he needs. It he's
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: just it's ridiculous to watch. Him he's so skilled on
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: top of being so physically. Talented so it's just like
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: we want to watch we want to watch him out
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: there as much as. Possible And i'm just a little
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: nervous about this being that it's the left leg but
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: he does seem to find a way to bounce back
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: quicker than other guys and to kind of put it
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: behind him and out of his mind while he's actually.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Competing Todd, father if you're managing, him what's the conversation
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: like if he walks into your office today and, says, Hey,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Skip i'm good.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Today.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, No, well you got to get the prognosis.
• 23:05

• 23:06
  Speaker 4: trainers AND i would wholeheartedly listen to. Them i'm not
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: GOING i understand it that he wants to. PLAY i get.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: It you, know there's a lot of, him there's a
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: lot of awards he can, win but ultimately he has
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: to understand if they're wanting to win another, championship they're
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: going to need him to be one hundred percent well
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: close to one hundred percent. Healthy nobody's ever one hundred
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: percent right. Now you, know during the year after spring,
• 23:28

• 23:31
  Speaker 4: hundred percent ready to, go they'd be lying to you

  Speaker 2: is not engaged in the business of. Insurance, Hey Brian
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: wu spoke on his continued, struggle specifically on the, road,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: quote getting pretty tired of trying to come up with
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: reasons or excuses or. Superlatives i'm just tired of. Sucking
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: it is what it. IS i don't, Know LIKE i,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: SAID i don't have the. Answers i'm looking for. Them
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: that's one of the classic media. Questions i've done it, Too,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: adam where you talk to a picture and you're, like,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: hey WHY au three runs better on the road than
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: home or vice. Versa so sometimes there's reasoning for, it,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: right and often there's.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Not it could be. COINCIDENTAL i actually called the game
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: last night that he pitched In. Baltimore he's a great.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Pitcher he's, nasty he does a lot of things really.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Well he actually LEADS mlb in first pitch strike, percentage
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: which is a really, good you, know a really good
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: process stat like he's should be dictating all these at.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: BATS i did think that he's been getting a little
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: bit predictable out there throwing so many, fastballs AND i
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: know that he has to stay stubborn with that. Approach
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: that's his, game and maybe the home ballpark In seattle
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: plays that a little bit with a little bit of
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the cooler, air and it's you, know it's a little
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: bit of a bigger, ballpark even though this year there's
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: been a lot of home runs actually hit. There SO
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: i don't. KNOW i think it's probably. Coincidental he's too
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: good to struggle for a long period of. Time but
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: at the same, time you, know everybody's aware of him,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: now everybody knows what makes him, special and so the
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: game plan a little bit better and a little bit
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: more efficiently when facing. Him and that's the reality of
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: anybody who's around for a while in the big. Leagues
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: people do start to adjust and you have to punch.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: BACK i agree totally everything he said. THERE i, mean,
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: ULTIMATELY i kind of kind of wish he kept that to.
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: Himself you, know it, shows it Does it shows a
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: little bit of sign of. Weakness you, know we talk
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: about mindset all the time in. Baseball they, got you,
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: know mental strength coaches for all. This most teams, are
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: if not all have. Them If i'm not. Mistaken BUT
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: i know he's a good. ATHLETE i know he's. GOOD
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: i think he's going to get back on this week
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: quicker than we.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Think two of the best pitchers in baseball Are Jacob
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: mizrawski And Christopher, Sanchez and if you're hanging out this
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: weekend In, milwaukee you can catch both in different, games
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: but you can catch Both mizraski pitching On, Friday sanchez On.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Sunday and according To Stats, performed this will be only
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: second series in the last century plus since THE ira
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: became an official stat in nineteen thirteen that featured two
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: starters with AN era under one five to five and
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: a strikeout rate at least thirty. Percent you might think
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: that's cherry picking a little, bit but the point is
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: ridiculous run prevention matched with elite strikeout. Numbers and we're
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: showing you if you're watching right, now not just listening podcast,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: style The sea Of, red The Christmas tree lighting up
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: with the stat cast pages for both miz And Christopher.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Sanchez we've talked a lot about those guys this. Year
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: adam will get you on what you're seeing with those.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Two and also they're very different pitchers and how they're
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: putting it all.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Together yeah they. Are they, are certainly they go about it,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: differently but at the same, time both of their approaches
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: are actually pretty simple in an era now where every
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: guy seems to have, five, six seven, pitches they kind
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: of keep it pretty. Basic. Ms rossi is coming at
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: you with that, fastball there's nothing you can do about
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: it except cheap face off to try to get to.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: It and he's got a couple pitches off of, That
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: sans it's the, sinker it's the change up and a
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: little bit of, slider and him AND. Jt Real mudo
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: are just so locked in back there that they're you, know,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: in they're, out they're, up they're, down they're they're throwing
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: pitches for chase when they need, to and they're just
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: in perfect. Lockstep so it's interesting to, see you, know
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: how a simplistic approach that is, executed you, know at
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: such a high level can yield these. Results but you,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: know these, guys these guys are at the top of
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: their game right. Now and it was crazy to have
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to think about The May picture of The month For National.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: League you, know Miss rowski losing out and he only
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: allowed one run in the entire month with almost sixty,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: strikeouts so that that stat line has almost never not
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: won A picture of The month, award and Yet sanchez
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: won up to them by giving up zero, runs which
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: is incredible for a month when you're pitching seven eight
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: innings at a. Clip so both these guys are locked.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: IN i can't wait to see what they do this.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Weekend, yeah AND i wish they were playing against each
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: other back to back though it would be perfect for you,
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: know baseball fans and everything.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: Else but you, know you.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Have to pick one of these guys From player of The.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: MONTH i thought that was a hard decision, too to.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Make both are. FANTASTIC i think miss right now is
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: the leader in pretty much. EVERYTHING i think right and
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: half we end of the, YEAR i think that's the
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: guy winning the Cy young in my, opinion he's absolutely.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: Filthy he's really. Good it goes, by but at the
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: end of the, day you're looking at one stat how
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: many runs did you give? Up and he gave up
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: the one And sanchez. Didn't but, again if these two
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: are clicking on all, cylinders come playoff, time these two
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: teams are going to be tough to, beat and The
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: dodgers are gonna have to watch out because. One you,
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: know momentum is a big thing in the. Sport so
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: we'll see what happens as we move.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: Forward all, right.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Let's have fun. Today so, yeah.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Sorry one, thing one thing THAT i just want to
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: note that's impressive about these two guys That i've been
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: thinking about a, lot is they're really both tall and.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Lanky you, Know todd can probably speak to this. Too you,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: know growing up you see a really, tall lanky. Pitcher
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: what's the thing that they can't? Do it's throw. Strikes
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: they might throw, hard but all those arms and those,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: limbs guys did not throw. Strikes but with whatever they're
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: doing with the training techniques now in the modern, game
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: it's incredible how both of these guys come out and
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: they pound the strike. ZONE i, mean Miss. Rowski he'd
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: be easy to face if you could stand there and
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: take some, pitches but he's all over the strike zone
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: at one hundred and one, plus so he gives you
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: no choice with the swing the. Bat and to, me
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: that's kind of one of the more impressive things about
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: these guys is just how many strikes they throw given their.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Size M.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: So with, that who do you?
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Like If Todd, father you have your season on the,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: line you got one, game you're gonna have one. Starter
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: i'm gonna hand them to. You season on the line
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: right the specific. Scenario it's not for the whole. YEAR
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: i got one. GAME i need to win.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: It who do you? Want i'm Going.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: MISS i like, THEM i like his powerful, FASTBALL i like.
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: TERMINATION i feel like he hasn't really faltered at all this.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Year you, know When sanchez kind of went on a
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: little spree, there a little bit he.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: Struggled i'm going With miss all, day every.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: Day, YEAH i voted For sanchez for A player of The,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: month But i'd go For miss as. Well to, me
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's just. DIFFERENT i, mean it's, uh it's
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: almost not. Baseball it's, uh go ahead and try to
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: hit this aspirin tablet that's coming at. You SO i
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: don't care who you. Are it's he made Jord On
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: alvarez look. Terrible so if you can do, that you
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: can pitch for me.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Anytime, hey when you say, vote did you have an
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: official vote or it was like a vote on on
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: the morning?
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Show you got on on YouTube baseball And.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Coffee he votes in the bathroom in the mirror when
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: before he brushes his.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Teeth mental, vote that's?
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: It, yeah, yes, yes that's.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Fair, hey there's a little. Deal there's been a. Few
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: The philly's picked Up Derek. Hill that gives them some
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: depth in the, outfield As Johann rojas has now done
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: for the. Season he had THE pd suspension and then
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: the injury to THE uclll have.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Surgery so here's one for The White. Sox they pick.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: Up Nolan jones and cash From cleveland exchange for two
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty k in international bonus pool, money and
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: that money can be very valuable to pick up more,
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: prospects And cleveland takes advantage of that. Frequently jones is
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: going to go To TRIPLE a on a minor league,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: deal but it gives The White sox some. Depth twenty
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: twenty three was when he was a. Star he had
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: a huge year For colorado in his age twenty five,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: season and then since then he struggled and there's been
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of swing and miss in his. GAME i
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: remember when the trade. Happened at the Time adam AND
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: i was, Like, oh this could be a nice pickup For.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Cleveland it hasn't worked out, there and Now cleveland's got
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a logjam starting to. Form they've
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: got a lot coming and for The White, SOX i
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: mean they've been doing this all. Year there's so many
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: guys that have made debuts for them that are now
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: on the. Team but that's starting TO i don't want
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: to say dry, out but this helps them just in
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: case there's an injury or if they can figure Out Nolan.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Jones, yeah for. Sure And Nolan jones is an interesting,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: guy very, toolsy you, know absolute cannon from The outfield's
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: got some power in, there you. Know so from a tool,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: standpoint he's gonna fit really well in a lot of.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Teams models they're going to bring them. In they're gonna
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: think that they're gonna be the team that's going, to you,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: know reunlock him. Here and he did need to change
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: the scenery for whatever. Reason he's been With cleveland twice
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: now and it hasn't worked out there either. Time so
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: now he gets to move. On White sox have a
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: little magic right now with their young, guys and maybe
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: he can be a part of.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: That simple change of scenery sometimes will. Help AND i,
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: think you, know being traded or be on six different
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: teams and a lot of times it did help and
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: sometimes it.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: Didn't so we'll see what he.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Does and he's gone on one of your former, Teams Todd,
• 33:50

  Speaker 2: Apparently you, know there was a story With connor McGregor
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: taking peds after he broke his leg in twenty twenty,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: one and the story claims it was with the support
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: of one of the big time doctors in, baseball Doctor
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Neil La trasha does many of the. Surgeries and Then
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Ela trash has come out already and, said no chance
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: here And.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: I'll give you. More we got to show the, rest,
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Guys we got to show what he.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Said he spoke, Today Ela trash basically denied at, all
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: SAID i haven't done anything. Wrong, EVER mlb can comment the.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Rest i'm totally clean, here but anyway you can see
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: more on. It, Adam i'm sure you know. Him i've
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: seen him on. Interviews he's. Great, OBVIOUSLY i don't know
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: his whole past and everything, else but he has very
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: and this is what you do when you get accused of.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Something he has very strongly come out and been, like, hell,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: NO i haven't done anything. Wrong this story IS bs
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: AND mlb can handle it from, here since you know
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: he's very connected WITH.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Mlb, yeah he.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Said he gave a statement because this is the times
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: in the athletic he's cooperating with. Investigators he's, Like i've
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: done nothing. Wrong i've spoken WITH, mlb very comfortable with
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: the process the league AND i will complete to share the.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: PUBLIC i have followed every rule in regulation in my
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: medical treatment of athletes without. Exception my record is completely,
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: clean including in this. CASE i will leave it TO
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: mlb officials spread any further comment as they see. FIT i,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: mean you can't get more strong right after something comes
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: out than.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: That.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: YEAH i think that he was touching on a little
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: bit of the difference between like illegal and you, know
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: performance enhancing or. Banned you, KNOW i mean, this this
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: kind of regret situation has really nothing to do WITH.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Mlb as long as he's following all of MLB's uh you,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: know drug, laws then there's really nothing to worry about.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: HERE i know he's a team doctor with The, dodgers but,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: YEAH i think this seems like maybe a little bit
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: of a mix up in terms of what actually matters
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: here and where the where the threshold is.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: There.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Yep so if you want, more there's plenty to read
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: in there about what's going. On But todd, father as
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: we always talk, about if someone gets, accused they come
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: out right. Away they don't they don't, sugarcoat they don't
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: throw lawyers in your. Face it's usually a pretty strong
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: sign that the person feels they did nothing.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: Wrong AND i think it's simple simply.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: Put you, know he made sure he got to the,
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: point he said what he had to say and didn't,
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: elaborate which he doesn't have.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: TO i like how it came. Out and if that's
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: the case and he didn't there's no foul play or.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: WHATEVER i don't know how they rule.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: These things because, yeah like Like adam, said it really
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: has nothing to do With Major League. Baseball BUT i don't,
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: KNOW i don't know how this plays. Out but if
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: he didn't do anything, wrong he said it well said right, there.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Let's shake it.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Up we got two guys on that are going to
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: be part of The yankees broadcast this. Weekend we haven't
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: touched on The yanks much this, week so let's do
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: a few minutes on not just, them but also if The, nationals,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: say for, example turn into. Sellers John hayman put in
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: his latest, column one rival SUGGESTS. Cj abrams might make
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: sense for The yankees as an upgrade over The Volpy cabalero.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Duo but while one team already checked On, abrams it
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: was not The, yankees you. Said one issue is The
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: yankees remain clear in their belief that top shortstop Prospect
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: George Lombard junior is not going to be. Dealt they're
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: not they don't want to deal. Him and also he
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: could be up later this. YEAR i, mean he's getting
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: close to. Ready So Todd, father let's kind of hit
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: both sides. Here first of, all for people Like nats
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: fans might get, offended BUT. C. J abrams was dangled
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: in the off, season and he's not signed up long.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Term he's getting close to free. AGENCY i think he's
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: got a year and a half, left so it's not
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: crazy to hear something like, that, Right and on The yankee,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: side what do we have going on here at?
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: Shortstop?
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: YEAH i mean a lot of guys make sense for
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: a lot of. TEAMS i, MEAN. C J abrams does make.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: Sense he can help out a bunch of. TEAMS i
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: think anytime you bring up A New york, team all
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: of a, sudden it's.
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: Like, oh here we.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: Go you, Know, yeah who wouldn't want to see J
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: abrams on their? Team you, Know volpe came. Back he
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: started off really well in the first five six, games
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: and now it's kind of gone back the same way
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: as what he used to. Be you, know a lot
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: of people are wanting Ky bauero to be back in
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: there for. Good you, know Kybe air has been having
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: a pretty good.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: Year, Man he's been really.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: Good and that's the opportunity and that he. Deserved and
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: that's Why volpi went. Down when he came off the
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: shelf in the first. PLACE i, think If I'm Aaron,
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: boone you got to make a, clear precise you got
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: to you gotta pick one or the other, now AND
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: i think you got to ride him for a long
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: time and, see you know where they're. At you. KNOW
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: i Think Ky valero is the clear. FAVORITE i think
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: he's been really good this year so. FAR i, mean
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: if he didn't get, hurt maybe it's a different story
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: or get the. Surgery excuse, me but, YEAH i MEAN.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: Cj abrams would be definitely an upgrade for any, team
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: and that would help The. Yankees BUT i don't see that.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: Happening AND i Love George.
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: Lombard.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: Guys this, KID i, think you know a lot of
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: guys are, like, oh, yeah we've heard about. Him he's
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: going to be pretty. GOOD i think the opportunity is.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: THERE i don't know, when but if not this year
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: and next, YEAR i think that might be the guy
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: that you put out there and let him just roam
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: and see what he can.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Do, YEAH i MEAN. C. J abrams is definitely an.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: UPGRADE i, mean of, course but he's not going to
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: come cheap, either and so you have to ask, yourself
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: is this the upgrade that will push us over the.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: TOP i think they have a lot of things that
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: they have to think about beyond just. SHORTSTOP i agree
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: With todd one hundred percent that they probably need to
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: pick Between anthony And jose right now in, short and
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: give them a long runway to just play every day
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: and get in rhythm and kind of see where you're
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: at at that. Position they're more similar than they are,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: different you, know in a lot of. Ways they're supposed
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: to be pretty good, defenders base. RUNNERS i Think caballero
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: has a little bit more grind and grit and his at,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: bat which is Where i'm leaning right. Now volpi might
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: have a little more of the, upside but he hasn't
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: been able to tap into that all the. TIME i
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: definitely don't want to get in the way Of. LOMBARD
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: i agree as well With todd on that on that.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: Point but, YEAH i, MEAN i guess you just come
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: down to the acquisition cost you and you're going to
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: go ahead and get A. C. J. Abrams he's got
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: a nine hundred ops like he's on the way to
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: The All Star. Game, again he's a really good. Player
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to give up real assets to get,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: him and that might be too rich for their blood right.
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: Now AND i think, Ultimately, scott IF i just jump
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: In tony is not the. Guy he doesn't really come
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: out and tell you what he really likes and doesn't
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: he talks, About, oh, well this guy's been doing.
• 41:57
  Speaker 5: Good, here this guy's been doing.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: Good, yeah those, mistakes but it's been really good, swings
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: it's been really good at.
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: Bats, ultimately are you getting the job?
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: Done and that's where you got to decide who is
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: getting the job done more than an.
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: OTHER i don't care right.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: Now If i'm a manager, coach, yeah you line out five,
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: times you got, out you. Know so for, me if
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: we're going numbers and we're going guys that are, producing
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: you got to find a way and figure out which
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: one you, like who's giving you the better.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Production, well help me out, Here todd, Father why Is
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: volpi stealing playing time From caballero when he was off
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: to a sizzling. Start his defense was, incredible right like
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: you saw it on the. Field the metrics backed it.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Up he was hitting pretty well In. APRIL i think
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: was close to an eight hundred Ops AND i, know you,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: know it's dipped a little.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: Bit For, caberra but not a. Lot it's dipped a
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Over the past month and change or over the past
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: not even that right few. Weeks the whole thing was
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: he goes, Down he's, Like i'm coming back as soon as,
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: possible and you almost have it in the back of.
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: Your head Like i'm not Getting wally pipped, here and.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: He comes back And, bope you had the first week
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: hitting well and then hasn't hit since and he's been
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: really really cold in the month Of. June i'll kind
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: of try to speak for the fans, Here yankee fans
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: that have chosen this guy as someone that hasn't developed
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: well and has not become a starting caliber shortstop based
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: on his offensive production and last year even his defensive.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Production he's coming off his shoulder. Surgery that sucks often
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: it can take a year in change to really be
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: yourself after. That but he's had three years of. Runway
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: someone else is playing better than, him And cabalierra is
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: not playing every day, Again so you're more in the
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: thick of, it both of you, guys THAN i. Am
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: i'm trying to cover all THIRTY i don't just. FOCUS i,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: mean you guys cover all thirty. Two BUT i don't
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: see as Much yankees as you guys, do And i'm
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: certainly not around the Team yankee fans are, like what
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: are we?
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: Doing this is the fourth year of. This we have
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: someone playing.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Better we might get someone else coming, up either from
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: the show or from the miners or via, Trade like
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: why is he stealing playing time away from someone who
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: wants to play every day right now and has earned.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: That it's a really good, question AND i haven't gotten
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: a full throttle answer on the whole, situation But I'm
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: i'm with. YOU i think you Give Ky bayerro the
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: shot and you see what he can. Do he's earned,
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: it he deserves. It but, again when you get the
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: answers From boonie and you hear the questions that are,
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: asked and it's not a full just straight on yes or,
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: no or this guy's gonna, play that guy's gonna play, now,
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: well this guy's gonna go here he's and then then
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: we'll do, this and THAT i think, that's you, know
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: one of the worrisome. Things you gotta go with the
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: guy that has been playing. Better and right, Now i'm
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: not saying it'll happen the whole, time but right, Now
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Ky bayro is that.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Guy it seemed like early, earlier When anthony was still,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: hurt you, know they kept delaying his his comeback, date
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: his rehab, date And cabrera was playing great at that.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Time it seemed like they kind of had made the decision,
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: then you, know and then push came to. Shove they
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: needed to make a move. There they brought him on
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: and Then caballero kind of got, hurt so then you,
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: know they had to play him a little. Bit And
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: i'm talking About volpi, here and they were going back and.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: FORTH i wonder about the dynamic of being a guy
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: that you, drafted you, know and, developed and just falling
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: in love with your own, player you. KNOW i know
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: WHEN i was with like The, rockies for, example there
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: was a lot of that going on because the player
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: development pipeline is the lifeblood of an organization like. THAT
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: i feel like with The, yankees it's it's it's only
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: part of the. Story like at the end of the,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: day if To todd's, point if you're not getting the
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: job done on a regular, basis every player is replaceable
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: on The New York. Yankees and that's just the reality
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: of the. Situation SO i Think cabayras earned the runway.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: Here i'd give. HIM i give it right back to.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: Him i'd give him the keys And i'd see what
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: he does with.
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: Him.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: YEAH i like that point, too where either developing a
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: guy or paying big for a player with money or
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: with trade assets makes you feel more. Invested that really
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: wasn't the case With. Caballero they pick him up last
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: year's a nice. PICKUP i don't remember the exact, return
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: but they didn't give up the, farm, Right it wasn't
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: that type of. PLAYER i almost wonder if you're looking
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: at him just like you would look at him at
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: a first round pick versus a twenty fifth round pick
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: and say they're going to give him every reason to
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: stay up and to succeed and to overcome whatever little
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: issues he.
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Has but to, me, it's, yeah it's.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Been a long, time And caballero is definitely a, gritty
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: A b and a guy that wants to play every.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: Day he hasn't had much of that, opportunity but he
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: was running with, it and and he might not be
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: the perfect, shortstop but he's their best option right. NOW
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: i think that's pretty clear that his game is just better.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Overall it's not like it's been a short sample size
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: at this. Point so that's where the frustration comes, in
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: and that's where fans do want to hear a little
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: bit more about what's going. On AND i know that
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: organizations try and keep it really you, know, tight and
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: they don't want, to you, know call a guy, out
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: but you do get fan frustration here when you see
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: one guy suddenly start to creep in and steal playing.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Time like you, mentioned When caballero went, down they were very.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: CLEAR i remember we did a segment on. It they were,
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: like nothing will change coming, up cabar are starting the.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Day he's back and he's, playing but he's not playing
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: every day like. YOU i, mean IF i really go
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: nitty gritty, here BECAUSE i, remember like you go through
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: the game, log there's been a day or two where he.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Sits there's been a day or two where he's you,
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: know either coming in lake at and one ab whatever it.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: Is that's got to be frustrating if You're cabairo.
• 47:18
  Speaker 4: Too, agreed, agreed you, know went down with the finger.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: Thing didn't want to make that. Worse but it wasn't
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: like he. Was it was out that. Long so, yeah
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: frustrating at some. Points BUT i think he has to
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: understand that being confident has to take over everything, else
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: so he can't control what they pick and who they
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: picked to. Play he just got to be ready when
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: his name is cale.
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: Mhm all, right let's flip it over to The Red
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: sox in The Al east and Get adam's take on
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: the team he spent twenty twenty one.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: With so they're not playing, well that's.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: Obvious Adam Sam, kennedy THE ceo of the team on
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: was on a radio interview and he called the season
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: embarrassing and said if the situation doesn't improve, soon the
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: team could be sellers at the trade. Deadline in that same,
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: interview he offered full support For Craig breslo and, SAID
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: i fully understand the questions about him and his job
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: security and all, that but the issue of change is
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: not on the. Table he's working as hard as anyone
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: to get things back on. Track so your thoughts overall
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: on what's gone wrong For boston this.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: YEAR i think they had a tough. OFFSEASON i think
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: they whiffed on the third base situation pretty. BAD i
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: think they didn't evaluate their own guys that they traded
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: away very. Well you Know Harrison, tibbs who's with The dodgers,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: now who's going to be a factor for, them you
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: know a number of. OTHERS i like the, thought you,
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: know of the pitching being the strength of the. Team
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: but at the end of the, day like on the
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: history of The Red, sox when they're, good they have
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: a really great, lineup and that's a tough place to
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: go in there and get guys, out you, know pitching
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: in front of that green. Monster you think about the twenty,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: eighteen twenty thirteen and even you, know prior to that,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: team so seven h, FOUR i, mean those teams absolutely
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: banged baseballs and it was a horrible place to go
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: in there and try to. PITCH i think they had
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to address that this year in a number of.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Areas they could have brought back old Friend Kyle, schwarber
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: they could have went After PETE. A, Lonzo they could
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: have figured out The bregman. Situation but clearly there was
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: a disconnect there Between alex And, craig AND i Think
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: craig got ahead of, it you, Know brezlo got ahead
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: of it and, said you, KNOW i haven't really gotten
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: to do this my way, yet And John henry, agreed
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: and now it's it's on him And they're going to
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: give him the runway to do, it and maybe that
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: is the right way to go about. Things you don't
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: want to like constantly be changing management up all the,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: time and you got to pick somebody and ride, them you,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: know similar To caba Hero volpe. Conversation. Maybe but, yeah
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: it's just nothing's. Worked they have one of the worst
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: offenses this. Year and that's just Not Red sox baseball to.
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: Me.
• 49:54
  Speaker 5: Talk about a team that was supposed to be up. There,
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: MAN i had him WHEN i had him in a.
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: Wildcard so If i'm not and so, again it could
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: have some good trade pieces coming up here when the deadline.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: Passs i'll give you the fan frustration point on this,
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: One Todd.
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: Father let's show that next.
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: Graphic Tim healy did a deep, dive who writes for
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: The Boston globe does a great job on The devers
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: trade one year. Later, Right so it's been one year
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: and they're still missing a bat like, That AND i
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: know some fans that are really worried, about you, know
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: the pocket of The Red sox are, like, well we
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: saved a ton of money getting rid Of. Devers, Okay
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: so this chart shows You Red sox dhs since the,
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: Trade Red sox number two hitters dever spot since the,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: trade and Then devor's, numbers and keep in Mind evers
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: is now In San. FRANCISCO i know there's league and
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: park adjusted stats that help us with, that BUT i
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: bet You, raphael WHO i think is perfect for a
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: ballpark like, that would have even better, numbers right even
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: talking about the league adjusted and park adjusted stats if
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: he was still, there they are missing significant pop from that.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: Spot so it's one, Thing Todd. Father if you get
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: rid of the player because you guys have dissension and all,
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: that that's, fine. Right clearly that became a mess and
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: you had an opportunity to trade him. Away the problem
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: was you didn't replace. Him AND i Know Roman anthony's
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: been out and that's part of.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: IT i get.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: It miss he's missed most of the. Season but it
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: just like playing to What adams, said you're not investing
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: in the. Offense you're only growing the position. Players really
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: that he And bloom picked, up those are the guys
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: that have come up and been the contributors for. Them
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: contreras was a nice pickup this offseason in terms of
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: his production for the team so, far but they really
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: haven't gone after big boppers like he, mentioned and it's
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: surprising for. Everyone And i'll even use The bregman example,
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: too BECAUSE i thought he made such an impact in
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: so many ways on that. Team and, again if you
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: want to look back and, go, well, look he's not playing.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: Well actually on the, road he's hitting as he usually.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Does the pull fly Ball Alex bregman To rigley has
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: not worked so far at. Home SO i again would,
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: say just Like, devers If bregman was there this, year
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: the stats would be. Different So i'd still be pissed
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: upon A socks fan THAT i don't have either of those.
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: GUYS i, mean and for, me, Ultimately devers was the
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: guy AND i remember him first coming. Up he had
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: a homer against the roll As, Chapman we're, like you,
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: know to go back up or tie the, Game like
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: who is this? Guy flippy, swing, nice loose, hands just
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: whippy all the way. Around just don't know how you
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: how you trade a guy like. THAT i don't fully understand,
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: it whether it's dissension where there's. ANYTHING i, Mean i'd
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: rather have him than anybody else on that.
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: Team that was the.
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: Dude he was coming up he could have been there
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: for a long. TIME a lot of mistakes, there and
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: there's you, know where's the true, leader who's the guy
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: that's taking the bull by the?
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: Horn same, boys let's go, here wake. UP i, KNOW
• 52:39
  Speaker 5: i DON'T i don't.
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: See the contrarass is, there but there's you, Know i'm
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: not saying he's, not but it's just been it's been
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: very very bad year for them considering where they should
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: be and where they could.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: Be, yeah and they'll. Sell BUT i looked through it.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Yesterday there's not like a ton there's not many short term.
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: Rentals they're not trading any of the young core THAT
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: i just alluded. To could be a bullpen, guy you,
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: know A garrett Whit lock somebody like. That BUT i
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: mean Maybe, chapman although he's still got time left on
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: his deal.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Too and.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: It's not like they're going to do super well there
