Tokyo Series Reax: Dodgers beat Cubs, Max Muncy joins, Season starts! · Foul Territory

0:01
Speaker 1: Get hold of much.
0:13
Speaker 2: Real baseball.
0:14
Speaker 3: The twenty twenty five season has started. It's Scott Ron,
0:17
Speaker 3: Eric Kratz, and Aj Perzinski just called the Dodgers Cubs
0:20
Speaker 3: first game of the year. Is going to join us
0:22
Speaker 3: soon and Max Munty is scheduled to join us later
0:25
Speaker 3: in the show as well as the Dodgers just pulled
0:27
Speaker 3: off their first win of the year over the Cubs
0:30
Speaker 3: four to one. Kratz, I'm gonna use a lot of
0:32
Speaker 3: sarcasm all year with the Dodgers. This postgame show, by
0:35
Speaker 3: the way, is powered by MLB Rivals. More on that
0:38
Speaker 3: a little bit later on. But for the Dodgers, their
0:40
Speaker 3: quest for an undefeated season started today and they were victorious.
0:45
Speaker 2: What did you see in this one?
0:47
Speaker 1: It's still intact, that's it.
0:49
Speaker 4: I saw a deep lineup that didn't have Mookie, didn't
0:52
Speaker 4: have Freddy late scratch like this. This team came out
0:57
Speaker 4: and did exactly what they need to do.
0:59
Speaker 1: I don't think they.
1:00
Speaker 4: Really we're gonna get to the starter, and they were
1:04
Speaker 4: okay with that. Look at Max Muncy's first we'll talk
1:07
Speaker 4: about it with him. His first three at bats, I
1:09
Speaker 4: think he saw like twenty five pitches. They just grinded
1:13
Speaker 4: down the pitchers who they weren't able to score anything
1:16
Speaker 4: off of, and then when guys made mistakes or when
1:19
Speaker 4: show Hey came up to hit, they were able to
1:23
Speaker 4: get the runs across that they needed, and they even struck.
1:25
Speaker 4: Ben Brown came up and got a big strike out
1:29
Speaker 4: of show Hey. But the electric environment in Tokyo showed
1:33
Speaker 4: that we as Major League Baseball need to keep doing this.
1:37
Speaker 3: Yes, it is everything out there, and it was the
1:40
Speaker 3: toughest ticket to get a hold of too, I mean
1:43
Speaker 3: the toughest ticket.
1:44
Speaker 2: It is Super Bowl status.
1:46
Speaker 3: Apparently tickets for the game were so tough to find
1:50
Speaker 3: because also they have some stricter rules on the resale
1:52
Speaker 3: market that the cheapest ticket in the upper deck was
1:55
Speaker 3: thirty five hundred dollars.
2:00
Speaker 1: Hear that that's crazy, Well that's what.
2:02
Speaker 3: I'm seeing here from some tweets. So if you were
2:06
Speaker 3: super rich and bougie, you could go to the game. Otherwise,
2:09
Speaker 3: you watched like us, and you listened to Jason Benetti
2:11
Speaker 3: and AJ Prazinski, who were awesome on the call. Aj
2:14
Speaker 3: joining us soon. But hey, the Cubs did crack the scoreboard.
2:16
Speaker 2: First.
2:17
Speaker 3: Miguel Amaya, who's a promising young catcher for the Covees,
2:21
Speaker 3: nice defensive catcher, and then obviously got things started with
2:24
Speaker 3: the knock off the four seen fastball from Yamamoto to
2:27
Speaker 3: go up one nothing. But that was all the scoring
2:31
Speaker 3: for the Coves here. It is nice little apo piece deep.
2:35
Speaker 4: I mean, he just put the ball, put the ball
2:37
Speaker 4: out in play and found a gap. But I always say,
2:41
Speaker 4: you always say in that situation, that was selfish of
2:47
Speaker 4: Amaya because then it just didn't get a single fastball
2:50
Speaker 4: in the zone. So it's like the best way to
2:53
Speaker 4: get him to stop throwing his fastball. The pitch I
2:55
Speaker 4: think guys have the best time hitting against is, so
3:00
Speaker 4: don't swing at it.
3:01
Speaker 1: Don't swing at it. He'll keep throwing it.
3:03
Speaker 4: But you know, he threw a strike there, drove it
3:07
Speaker 4: to the gap, and then you sit there and you go, okay,
3:10
Speaker 4: why would we ever get hurt on another fastball again?
3:12
Speaker 4: And they just it became a lot of splits, a
3:15
Speaker 4: lot of that cutter down in a way, cutter slider
3:18
Speaker 4: hybrid thing. They just gave up a hit on this
3:21
Speaker 4: curveball they tried to throw to Swanson never went back
3:25
Speaker 4: to that one again. So it really it really shows,
3:29
Speaker 4: it really shows Yaomoto's stuff.
3:32
Speaker 3: Him and Aga is really good, uncharacteristic. I mean his
3:35
Speaker 3: fastball had an extra tick or two to it. It
3:38
Speaker 3: saw a lot of ninety fours from him. It's already
3:40
Speaker 3: got a lot of good ride. Gave up No hits
3:42
Speaker 3: career high four walks, but they only let him go
3:45
Speaker 3: four innings. We're early in the season. So after that,
3:48
Speaker 3: Ben Brown came in and here's a Managa. Of course,
3:51
Speaker 3: let's remind everyone how big of a deal this is
3:54
Speaker 3: in Japan. It's not just to the Dodgers being Japan's
3:58
Speaker 3: team these days. The Cubs have se asked Azuki, you
4:00
Speaker 3: didn't do anything today. I mean he was in the
4:02
Speaker 3: lineup but didn't get anything done. Immanaga is also beloved
4:06
Speaker 3: out there, and he's fun to watch. He's fun to
4:08
Speaker 3: listen to. So they were cheering for the Dodgers more
4:11
Speaker 3: than the Cubs, but they were also cheering hard for
4:14
Speaker 3: Immanaga and for Seas Suzuki when they came up. So overall,
4:18
Speaker 3: fine work from Immanaga. But then Ben Brown comes in.
4:21
Speaker 3: Couldn't locate his fastball well, especially early in the outing.
4:24
Speaker 3: And tell me if you've heard this one before the game,
4:26
Speaker 3: decided in the fifth inning for the Dodgers.
4:28
Speaker 2: The game turns in the fifth inning for the.
4:30
Speaker 3: Dodgers, if you want a little flashback to last year's
4:33
Speaker 3: World Series. But a three run fifth Otani was part
4:36
Speaker 3: of it, and they ended up obviously not needing anything
4:39
Speaker 3: else after this.
4:41
Speaker 1: I mean the fifth inning. I mean, they just re
4:44
Speaker 1: they just rehashed.
4:45
Speaker 4: They just did the same storyline as from last year
4:48
Speaker 4: in the World Series when they ended the season Blake
4:51
Speaker 4: Tryn and you knew he was gonna come out. You
4:53
Speaker 4: knew that they were going to maybe score a few
4:56
Speaker 4: runs on a couple airs. It was like, oh, fifth inning,
4:59
Speaker 4: here we go. Ben Brown's slider thing didn't look great
5:03
Speaker 4: later on in his outing though, because he ended up
5:06
Speaker 4: going through the lineup. I think he went all the
5:08
Speaker 4: way through the lineup, started to really really is what
5:13
Speaker 4: is what I think Council wanted to bring him in for.
5:16
Speaker 1: Either it was a slider or a split or whatever
5:18
Speaker 1: it was.
5:18
Speaker 4: But he was getting a lot of swings on it,
5:20
Speaker 4: and it was like three miles an hour harder too.
5:23
Speaker 4: So again the Dodgers just wait for you know, one
5:27
Speaker 4: little one, little like little leeway into scoring some runs,
5:32
Speaker 4: getting some guys on base and it was really Ben
5:35
Speaker 4: Brown just in the fifth inning.
5:37
Speaker 2: All right, here's the deal.
5:39
Speaker 3: We should have Max Muncy ready after we swing back
5:42
Speaker 3: from a quick break, perfect live Kratz.
5:48
Speaker 2: What time is it.
5:50
Speaker 4: Time to stop overpaying for wireless with these bogus fees
5:52
Speaker 4: in quote free perks that actually cost more in.
5:55
Speaker 1: The long run. You know what I'm saying.

6:58
Speaker 3: much for joining us right after a big moment out there. Dude,
7:00
Speaker 3: how is it just first tell us how cool this
7:02
Speaker 3: was for the last few hours.
7:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's pretty awesome. The the atmosphere over here is electric.
7:08
Speaker 6: It's uh, it's not really like anything, you know, it's
7:13
Speaker 6: it's pretty much like the World Series game over here.
7:15
Speaker 6: That's kind of the atmosphere that's going on right now.
7:17
Speaker 6: Named The stadium still completely packed right now. It's twenty
7:19
Speaker 6: twenty minutes after the game ended. They just it's it's
7:24
Speaker 6: just different over here. They loved it, and it's it's
7:26
Speaker 6: been a lot of fun so far.
7:28
Speaker 4: Who's the hero over there besides all Japanese players aside
7:31
Speaker 4: because we heard this, we heard the ovation for for Saya,
7:35
Speaker 4: for Yaomoto, for Otani, who's the Who's the American hero
7:39
Speaker 4: that got the loudest ovations?
7:44
Speaker 6: I mean everyone, really? They kind of just they love
7:47
Speaker 6: all the players over here. Uh too, got a pretty
7:49
Speaker 6: good one. I think Freddie maybe got the biggest one
7:52
Speaker 6: during the exhibition games. I'm sure if Luke is playing,
7:55
Speaker 6: he would be the one. But yeah, definitely guys. You know,
7:58
Speaker 6: they they love their home guys here and it's been
8:01
Speaker 6: fun to see.
8:04
Speaker 2: Max.
8:04
Speaker 3: We found out really close to game time that Freddy
8:07
Speaker 3: wasn't going to be able to play in this one.
8:09
Speaker 2: Have you seen him?
8:10
Speaker 3: And when did you guys find out that he wouldn't
8:12
Speaker 3: be a part of this one today? And obviously, if
8:14
Speaker 3: you want to add on Mookie as well, I'm sure
8:16
Speaker 3: he wanted to be in this game.
8:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, we probably found out at the same
8:21
Speaker 6: time that you guys found out was read before game time.
8:24
Speaker 6: Uh just wasn't able to go and uh, you know,
8:27
Speaker 6: it's kind of a kind of a hard blow to
8:29
Speaker 6: get get dealt ten minutes fifteen minutes before the game.
8:31
Speaker 6: And uh but you know, thankfully that's why we have
8:34
Speaker 6: the depth that we have with the fight through to
8:36
Speaker 6: be a work it, Uh, you know, we gotta get
8:38
Speaker 6: into that problem getting field up and be ready to go. Yeah,
8:41
Speaker 6: he wasn't feeling really good and uh, uh, you know,
8:44
Speaker 6: we all know that he wanted to be out there
8:45
Speaker 6: with us, but we got to. We gotta gi guys,
8:47
Speaker 6: heal with you each about eight months. It's sound about
8:49
Speaker 6: this long game.
8:53
Speaker 7: Max, dude?
8:55
Speaker 1: What's up?
8:55
Speaker 5: First of all, nice game, but I have to ask,
8:59
Speaker 5: why the heck did you swing at the first pitch?
9:01
Speaker 5: And what about you saw thirty one pitches the other
9:03
Speaker 5: what three or four backs and you swung at the
9:05
Speaker 5: first pitch?
9:06
Speaker 7: What the heck are you doing?
9:09
Speaker 6: A lot of the few heaters that I saw, I
9:11
Speaker 6: want to miss it. I missed it. So uh you know,
9:15
Speaker 6: that was also the only ball that went forward for me.
9:18
Speaker 6: I saw a lot of pitches, a lot of them
9:20
Speaker 6: more backwards. The sweet things start going to the lids anymore,
9:22
Speaker 6: we'll be in a pretty good spot once that happens.
9:24
Speaker 6: To you know, the ball does a little bit different
9:28
Speaker 6: things over here in the Tokyo round. They can get
9:30
Speaker 6: compressed air for the loose and being at sea levels,
9:34
Speaker 6: just state, the ball has a lot more rise. Even
9:38
Speaker 6: the American balls, they had a lot more rise. We
9:40
Speaker 6: found that out there for the exifferent games, and so
9:43
Speaker 6: the balls aren't doing entirely what they're supposed to. Do
9:46
Speaker 6: so a lot of guys. I mean they falls missed
9:47
Speaker 6: them and popping them up. And if we saw that tonight.
9:51
Speaker 7: I saw it.
9:51
Speaker 5: I saw a lot of pop ups, and I mean
9:53
Speaker 5: Yamamoto had a lot of grounders because he was still
9:55
Speaker 5: in that splitter.
9:56
Speaker 1: It was filthy.
9:57
Speaker 5: But I want to know, did you hear the stat
9:58
Speaker 5: we were talking about on the air that you could
10:01
Speaker 5: have if you get a hit tomorrow, you'll be the
10:03
Speaker 5: first guy to get a hit in five different countries
10:07
Speaker 5: or territories.
10:08
Speaker 7: So you have to get a hit.
10:09
Speaker 5: Tomorrow, no pressure, not because you just want to get
10:11
Speaker 5: a hit, but we need to see history tomorrow.
10:15
Speaker 6: Oh thanks for thanks for having that on on top
10:17
Speaker 6: of my play chair. You know, I'm already trying to
10:18
Speaker 6: move off. For lord now, I gottadrink. No, that'd be
10:23
Speaker 6: you know, that'd be really cool. So well, hopefully I
10:27
Speaker 6: can get one, get one to molo at it out.
10:28
Speaker 6: It could be really cool. I guess my my hit
10:31
Speaker 6: and the exit the game doesn't count for that until
10:33
Speaker 6: it's only but yeah, it'd be nice to to get
10:36
Speaker 6: one out there, find some clariff and uh, you know,
10:38
Speaker 6: tot do a little dance on the baseless to the boys.
10:41
Speaker 5: Hey, I want to hear about this show here tony
10:44
Speaker 5: dinner last night. He bought like a four hundred, five
10:46
Speaker 5: hundred pound tuna for you guys. Is that why Freddy
10:49
Speaker 5: couldn't play today? He had a little tuna belly or whatever.
10:52
Speaker 7: So hey didn't he.
10:52
Speaker 5: Have like the bluefin tuna like bigger than all y'all
10:55
Speaker 5: combined that?
10:56
Speaker 7: He had you guys for dinner.
10:57
Speaker 6: For yeah, I mean, and it was, uh, the tune
11:02
Speaker 6: it was gigantic, it was you know, it was about
11:05
Speaker 6: the side of hill. He standing up probably it was
11:08
Speaker 6: a big fish. And then they brought in uh he
11:12
Speaker 6: was he's like the best tunic slicer in all of Japan.
11:15
Speaker 6: That brought him into put on a phil for you know,
11:18
Speaker 6: he got that thing that that thing sliced out for
11:20
Speaker 6: him and in about about five minutes. It was really cool,
11:23
Speaker 6: a lot really impressive and the food was unbelievable. Obviously,
11:27
Speaker 6: you know, we all had a great time. And let's uh,
11:29
Speaker 6: it was the great starts this season for us. Just
11:31
Speaker 6: let's that's what we let the deals to let people
11:33
Speaker 6: both together. We let's have a lot of dinners and
11:36
Speaker 6: on a good, good note for.
11:37
Speaker 1: Us, what did you see from Yamamoto.
11:42
Speaker 6: He's electrics tonight. Ball is kind of hot.
11:45
Speaker 1: You know.
11:46
Speaker 6: He was panning the ball decently, probably not as well
11:49
Speaker 6: as he would have liked to, but I thought he
11:50
Speaker 6: was standing it well. Just made the one mistake, but
11:53
Speaker 6: uh got hit and the election on her death. But
11:55
Speaker 6: for the most part he was he was He was Yama.
11:57
Speaker 6: He's you know who we've expective we launched year and
12:00
Speaker 6: you know, he's We think he's only going to be
12:02
Speaker 6: better this year. He's what Tom to do and you
12:04
Speaker 6: know we've seen that all spring, just how he's gonnaut
12:06
Speaker 6: and we definitely just feels it out to do instant.
12:08
Speaker 6: He's gonna he's really gonna go out this year to this.
12:12
Speaker 7: How good was your bullpen? That's what I want to know.
12:14
Speaker 7: I mean your bullpen was disgusting.
12:16
Speaker 5: Oh for like twenty one, I think there was trying
12:18
Speaker 5: and through a turbo sinker that.
12:20
Speaker 7: That hit Verdie. Other than that, they didn't even get
12:21
Speaker 7: a ball close to a hit. So I mean, how
12:23
Speaker 7: good And oh, by the way, we're throwing Tanner Scott
12:25
Speaker 7: and I just for fun because nobody hits in.
12:29
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, that was a It's kind of like
12:31
Speaker 6: the whole game for us this year, Just get the
12:33
Speaker 6: ball to the sixth names, you know, get those guys
12:36
Speaker 6: that lead and watch them do what they'll do. And
12:38
Speaker 6: you know, tonight was just the kind of a start
12:40
Speaker 6: of how it's going to be for us, I think,
12:42
Speaker 6: and uh, you know those guys that have left the
12:43
Speaker 6: back there. Hopefully we can score some more runs so
12:46
Speaker 6: well the six and for ourself, for those guys, and they
12:48
Speaker 6: won't have to be used their reason much for we
12:50
Speaker 6: know that all we're gonna do is just get a
12:51
Speaker 6: read and it takes a lot of trectro off the
12:53
Speaker 6: offense before.
12:55
Speaker 1: What are we going to.
12:55
Speaker 4: See from Rokie tomorrow? Because yeah, I got it, you
12:58
Speaker 4: want to get to the sixth inning. But oh you
13:00
Speaker 4: got another star star starter thrown for you tomorrow.
13:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm really excited. You know, we we saw we
13:08
Speaker 6: saw what he did in spring training for us, and
13:10
Speaker 6: a couple adding that he had and you know, fastball
13:13
Speaker 6: thumbs out a little hot. That splitter is absolutely disgusting.
13:17
Speaker 6: The crazy thing is, no one knows what directions it's
13:19
Speaker 6: gonna go at length. I don't think he knows what
13:21
Speaker 6: the rector it's gonna do. Sometimes with that sometimes since
13:23
Speaker 6: it's just you know, you tried to have been lived
13:26
Speaker 6: with play and uh yeah, the one game he fits
13:29
Speaker 6: us in the spring, he threw kind of them that
13:32
Speaker 6: well and one missed it by like ten feet. I
13:34
Speaker 6: feel like, you know, he I'm sure he's gonna be
13:38
Speaker 6: pretty amped up for his first start for us. Well,
13:40
Speaker 6: you know, hopefully he can get his runner control and
13:43
Speaker 6: not be too at it. But uh, you know, it's
13:46
Speaker 6: we tried to tell him that there's no press from him.
13:49
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, my force last year in Thread, you know,
13:52
Speaker 6: hardly maybe out the first day Lingland, so you know,
13:54
Speaker 6: there's there's there's no prep for it. You'll still out
13:56
Speaker 6: there to be who you are, have some funnels it
13:59
Speaker 6: and let us work behind you. Look like the offense
14:02
Speaker 6: gets new runs and you know we'll both from them.
14:05
Speaker 4: I know you don't know Roki as much, but Yamamoto
14:08
Speaker 4: and Otana you saw him last year. Did you see
14:11
Speaker 4: any nerves from them or like a different player where
14:15
Speaker 4: they were like kind of like a little giddy about
14:18
Speaker 4: these games or this whole time being over here.
14:22
Speaker 6: Not so much out of show. Hey, you know, maybe
14:25
Speaker 6: in the playoffs there might have been a little bit
14:27
Speaker 6: out of thin but he was. He was the same
14:29
Speaker 6: guy all year long, and that was pretty impressive considering
14:32
Speaker 6: what he went with you last year. You know, he
14:34
Speaker 6: was just even peeled the entire the entire season, and
14:37
Speaker 6: like I said, maybe a tiny bit in the playoffs
14:39
Speaker 6: are still but you know, Yama was definitely his That's
14:43
Speaker 6: his first time over in the States, and so just
14:45
Speaker 6: throughout the year, you could easily tell that he got,
14:48
Speaker 6: you know, much more comfortable and much more comfortable with
14:50
Speaker 6: us as teammates, you know, the pitching staff, the environments,
14:54
Speaker 6: just you know, his your team. You could tell he
14:56
Speaker 6: just got a lot more comfortable with everything that he
14:58
Speaker 6: was doing as the year progressed than them. That's why
15:00
Speaker 6: I said this year in Spring showed up and you
15:02
Speaker 6: know he kind of knew how everything is gonna work,
15:04
Speaker 6: and uh, it's not new to him, and so he was,
15:08
Speaker 6: you know, he was relaxes could be with Spring and uh,
15:11
Speaker 6: you know, he shed it tonight. He he just went
15:13
Speaker 6: out there and he was himself.
15:16
Speaker 1: Max.
15:16
Speaker 5: Let me just said this last one, it's amazing that
15:18
Speaker 5: we can do this from You're in Tokyo and we're
15:20
Speaker 5: in parts unknown. So it's amazing that we're literally doing Yeah,
15:23
Speaker 5: that was right after It's it's pretty awesome.
15:27
Speaker 6: I was just thinking that that's a pretty crazy you
15:30
Speaker 6: guys look like you're still haf asleep over there.
15:32
Speaker 7: I'm not gonna lie, hey, I was just hey, hey,
15:35
Speaker 7: I grinded it with you, bro, I was. I was
15:37
Speaker 7: talking to dog at two am. Okay, So don't give
15:40
Speaker 7: me that none of that.
15:41
Speaker 1: Like, you know, you look like I grinded with you
15:44
Speaker 1: a little the whole game, all right, But I gotta
15:46
Speaker 1: ask earlier with that.
15:49
Speaker 5: Speaking of grinding, did we showed Glass now and Snell
15:52
Speaker 5: in the dugout? I mean, are they enjoying their vacation
15:55
Speaker 5: because they're not doing anything for two days.
15:57
Speaker 7: They're over there, kicked back, feet up, They're like, this
16:00
Speaker 7: is great, man, we got deliver. I mean, do you
16:03
Speaker 7: give them grief the fact that they're on a vacation.
16:07
Speaker 6: No, No, they wanted to make the trip. And you know,
16:09
Speaker 6: I definitely can't blame him wanting to make the trip.
16:12
Speaker 6: They got some working in the exhibition game. It was
16:14
Speaker 6: fun to watch him pitch. Glass was he looks like himself.
16:18
Speaker 6: He looks like he's healthy. That's huge for us, and
16:19
Speaker 6: Snell is a you know, I think it's important for
16:22
Speaker 6: us for him, for him to a pitch in that game,
16:24
Speaker 6: so that you know, it's kind of the first time
16:27
Speaker 6: that you get the whole line up, the whole team
16:28
Speaker 6: out there pitching with or you know, on defense with him,
16:31
Speaker 6: so you can kind of he can get comfortable with
16:32
Speaker 6: the guys, you know how we're moving them behind him
16:35
Speaker 6: on defense. Let him, let him trust I'll say, you
16:36
Speaker 6: did it. I think that's big for him. You know,
16:39
Speaker 6: you can't really get that when you're pitching on the
16:40
Speaker 6: back four game back on, so you know, tell us
16:43
Speaker 6: it's important to smell was on this trip. So you
16:45
Speaker 6: get put on the exhibition game and you know he's
16:47
Speaker 6: he's fund the Left's fun to play behind them all.
16:49
Speaker 3: You and Max, awesome to have you, like you mentioned,
16:52
Speaker 3: and thanks for the wake up call, Thanks for the
16:55
Speaker 3: entertainment here early this morning, and congrats on the first
16:58
Speaker 3: win of the season.
16:59
Speaker 2: All right on the pathway to one sixty two and up.
17:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll get I'll give a look, but he looks away.
17:05
Speaker 6: If you get two guys, you get some coffee in
17:07
Speaker 6: you or something.
17:08
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, we're slacking.
17:09
Speaker 7: We're slacking right, understand the grind, understanding grind. And by
17:16
Speaker 7: the way, I think On, I think is a cub
17:19
Speaker 7: sat On. I mean you should give him a little grief.
17:23
Speaker 1: That's all right. I don't.
17:24
Speaker 6: I don't hold it against him. I know he he
17:27
Speaker 6: doesn't think too high of this. I understand that.
17:31
Speaker 2: You just think they're going to lose a few games
17:33
Speaker 2: this year.
17:35
Speaker 1: And oh, Max, no chance.
17:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's impossible. You know, It's just it's just impossible
17:41
Speaker 6: to do. It's baseball. We're gonna we're gonna run into
17:43
Speaker 6: a guy on a on on a certain night, and
17:45
Speaker 6: he's gonna have his best stuff. And you know, baseball's here.
17:48
Speaker 6: It's round bat, round ball guys. On guess and hy
17:51
Speaker 6: the teams are the Major leagueaseball players too, so they
17:54
Speaker 6: they're they're just as good. And on any good night,
17:57
Speaker 6: any team can beat us, that's for sure. And you
17:59
Speaker 6: know we we obviously trust ourselves over here, but you're
18:02
Speaker 6: we're not going to win every game. It's just impossible.
18:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, team looks damn good. It's gonna be a fun year, Max. Thanks,
18:07
Speaker 3: enjoy the rest of the trip. All right, we'll talk
18:09
Speaker 3: to you in you're back.
18:11
Speaker 6: All right, sounds good, guys, Thanks for tracking him.
18:13
Speaker 3: Thank you, Max Monty with us after the Dodgers take
18:15
Speaker 3: down the Cubs in the first game of the season,
18:18
Speaker 3: the first real game of the season.
18:20
Speaker 1: Right.
18:20
Speaker 3: AJ's here with us too, AJ, you just called the
18:22
Speaker 3: game with Jasonnetty was awesome on Fox.
18:24
Speaker 2: So how was that for you?
18:25
Speaker 3: And give us your thoughts on what happened in terms
18:28
Speaker 3: of the actual play on the field too.
18:31
Speaker 1: It was awesome.
18:33
Speaker 5: Again, It's amazing that we can do this the way
18:36
Speaker 5: we're doing it. But let me let me just say this.
18:39
Speaker 5: It was a great game. The atmosphere looked incredible in
18:43
Speaker 5: the Tokyo Dome. And show, Hey put on a show.
18:46
Speaker 5: Yamamoto put on a show. I mean showed up.
18:48
Speaker 7: Oh man, he is so good by the way, I
18:50
Speaker 7: mean nobody I loved.
18:51
Speaker 5: How Max did the ball rises more? You know, you
18:53
Speaker 5: don't want to phase if you're in a place where
18:55
Speaker 5: the ball rises more. Show to aim Naga because he was.
18:59
Speaker 5: He had a career four walks, but other than that
19:01
Speaker 5: he gave up no hits.
19:02
Speaker 1: He was dominant.
19:03
Speaker 5: The Dodgers did what the Dodgers do. They kind of
19:05
Speaker 5: pitch count of people out of the game. They get
19:07
Speaker 5: the mistakes they make adjustments and they got the hits
19:10
Speaker 5: when they needed to their bullpen. Oh my gosh it,
19:13
Speaker 5: I mean Caspirius. Casparius came in. I mean he started
19:18
Speaker 5: a game in the World Series for him. He was
19:20
Speaker 5: throwing one hundred ninety nine, one hundred ridiculous. I mean,
19:25
Speaker 5: it was just a dominant Dodger win. This is what
19:26
Speaker 5: you just expect out of the Dodgers to be able
19:28
Speaker 5: to do this. So, I mean, it was an entertaining game,
19:32
Speaker 5: it was fun, the fans were into it, and it
19:33
Speaker 5: was just a dominant Dodger win.
19:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was Hey, we even had a little delay
19:38
Speaker 3: and it was some dude with a laser pointer in
19:41
Speaker 3: the outfields. So great, shame out there in Tokyo.
19:45
Speaker 2: You can't do that.
19:48
Speaker 1: Now.
19:48
Speaker 7: The best part was the music. We talked about it
19:50
Speaker 7: on the air.
19:51
Speaker 5: The music they were playing, you know, four non blogs
19:54
Speaker 5: that's going on, and then they played, you know, all
19:56
Speaker 5: the music to go along because nobody knew what was happening.
19:59
Speaker 5: So the d I think his name was DJ EJ
20:02
Speaker 5: was the DJ out there, so he knew he knew
20:05
Speaker 5: what he knew what was going on because he crushed
20:08
Speaker 5: it with all their stuff and you know, I don't know.
20:11
Speaker 7: Listen to the atmosphere. They should. We should. We didn't
20:13
Speaker 7: show it on the air, but off the air they
20:15
Speaker 7: had the sushi race and the Giant Chopstick Challenge, and
20:19
Speaker 7: I mean there was just a lot of the crowd
20:20
Speaker 7: was into it. They had the cheerleaders going, I mean,
20:22
Speaker 7: just what a what a showcase for Major League Baseball.
20:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Dodgers win the game to AJ So
20:29
Speaker 3: we talked about the three run fifth for them that
20:31
Speaker 3: basically decided the game, which included Edmund contributing. I mean,
20:35
Speaker 3: a lot of the same faces you saw from last year.
20:37
Speaker 3: But number one, they did this without Freddy Freeman and
20:39
Speaker 3: Mookie Betts. Those are what two of their best three hitters,
20:43
Speaker 3: you know, Tani Freeman, Bets. And then also, I just
20:48
Speaker 3: want to echo what you said, that bullpen looks disgusting.
20:53
Speaker 2: Did nobody want some of those back end the guys?
20:57
Speaker 2: I would have.
20:57
Speaker 3: Paid a little bit more for them. There's Mookie who
21:00
Speaker 3: unfortunately actually had to drive back home.
21:02
Speaker 7: Think how good Ryan Brasier was last year and they
21:04
Speaker 7: dfad him for Kirby Ah didn't even pitch in this.
21:06
Speaker 1: Game, by the way. He also had a ton of
21:08
Speaker 1: saves last year.
21:09
Speaker 7: But think about that.
21:10
Speaker 5: Brian Brazier, who the Cubs are going to be counting
21:12
Speaker 5: on as one of their late ending guys, got defayd
21:14
Speaker 5: by the Dods because they didn't have room.
21:16
Speaker 7: They had too many dudes that were good.
21:19
Speaker 3: Insane, dude, insane. I mean Brazier pitched in this game,
21:25
Speaker 3: Blake Trying looked just like he did last year. And
21:28
Speaker 3: then Tanner Scott is new to the party too.
21:33
Speaker 7: Good luck, good luck, guys, Dodgers are going We know this,
21:37
Speaker 7: but wow, if Y'allmamoto pitches like this and the glassnow
21:40
Speaker 7: and Snow stay healthy and they and they get whatever
21:43
Speaker 7: they get out of Sazaki. But like like Max just said,
21:45
Speaker 7: if they get into the sixth of the league, guess what,
21:48
Speaker 7: the ball game is over because their stuff is filled.
21:51
Speaker 1: And it's not just one night. Some teams are stacked
21:53
Speaker 1: like this and it's one night.
21:55
Speaker 4: They didn't even go to everybody, They didn't even go
21:59
Speaker 4: I mean, you have clos you closers on deck. Those
22:01
Speaker 4: three guys at the end of the game can all
22:04
Speaker 4: close a game. So if one of them goes two
22:06
Speaker 4: nights in a row, you're not gonna have all three
22:08
Speaker 4: go two nights in a row, so you just you're
22:11
Speaker 4: always fresh, You're.
22:13
Speaker 1: Always giving different looks to teams throughout a series. It's crazy.
22:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just want to, you know, give a minute
22:21
Speaker 3: for the Cubs and then we'll sign off here as
22:23
Speaker 3: we'll get ready for foul Territory later on. We're at
22:25
Speaker 3: Twins camp today. But on the Cubs side, AJ, this
22:29
Speaker 3: is a team that needs to get going. It's it's
22:31
Speaker 3: the first game of the season. All good, it'd be
22:33
Speaker 3: nice for them to at least pull off one of
22:35
Speaker 3: these and now that if they win to Mark, can
22:37
Speaker 3: they come back and at least be one and one
22:38
Speaker 3: to start the season. It's one sixty two. Nobody's gonna
22:41
Speaker 3: get all caught up. But in the National League Central,
22:45
Speaker 3: the Cubs have been a disappointment the last few years.
22:47
Speaker 3: They add Kyle Tucker, Saya Suzuki is gonna be more
22:50
Speaker 3: of a DH for this team. They did bolster their bullpen.
22:54
Speaker 3: We saw some of those new faces like an Eli
22:56
Speaker 3: Morgan pitching this game. Like you mentioned, immanaguluks just as
22:59
Speaker 3: now as he did last year. Matt Shawn made his.
23:03
Speaker 2: Debut in the big leagues.
23:04
Speaker 3: Had one hiccup on defense, but should be a nice
23:07
Speaker 3: bat for them. What do you think about the first
23:09
Speaker 3: look of the twenty twenty five Chicago Cubs.
23:12
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna be Okay, I think they're gonna
23:15
Speaker 5: be They're gonna be in this race, and we kind
23:17
Speaker 5: of said it on the air that it's their year.
23:20
Speaker 5: I think where they have to take the next step,
23:22
Speaker 5: at least for me, because the Cardinals are going to
23:25
Speaker 5: be down, the Pirates are still where the Pirates are.
23:28
Speaker 5: The Brewers, yes, they always overperformed, but how many hits
23:31
Speaker 5: can they take? How many losses can the Brewers take?
23:33
Speaker 5: And then you have the Reds, who are we don't
23:35
Speaker 5: know with Tito and is their pitching staff gonna stay healthy?
23:38
Speaker 7: So this should be the Cubs year to take this division.
23:41
Speaker 5: Now will they do it? We don't know because health
23:44
Speaker 5: and every you know, there's a million factors. But you
23:46
Speaker 5: bring in Craig Council, you bring in Kyle Tucker, you
23:49
Speaker 5: bring in some of these guys. Was this the year
23:52
Speaker 5: where the Cubs take that step and win the division
23:54
Speaker 5: and get to the postseason and finally unsea Crowds's brew crew?
24:00
Speaker 1: And yet I guess we'll never know. Just like Alex
24:02
Speaker 1: Bregman said, but.
24:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, they didn't want to pay him, didn't didn't get enough,
24:11
Speaker 4: wasn't enough, didn't structure it correctly, whatever it was.
24:15
Speaker 1: This lineup needs a boost.
24:17
Speaker 4: If you're starting a rookie, if you're starting a rookie
24:20
Speaker 4: hitting fifth, he's got to have a he's got to
24:23
Speaker 4: have a Rookie of the Year type of year. If
24:25
Speaker 4: you have if you trade what you traded for Kyle Tucker,
24:29
Speaker 4: he's got to be an MVP Kyle Tucker. Those things
24:33
Speaker 4: go well, it's going to be a fun summer in Chicago.
24:36
Speaker 4: They don't go well, and his bullpen gets over exposed.
24:41
Speaker 4: Certain guys don't step up in the roles.
24:43
Speaker 1: That they're in.
24:45
Speaker 4: It's going to be a long season of really sludging
24:48
Speaker 4: right around five hundred and that might be enough in
24:50
Speaker 4: the central to then make a strike right at the
24:53
Speaker 4: end of the season. But you just don't want a
24:56
Speaker 4: team to get hot. You don't want the Reds to
24:58
Speaker 4: get hot in the Division because they have that youth
25:02
Speaker 4: and almost naivity and a great pitching staff that they
25:06
Speaker 4: get hot, they could run away with the Division two.
25:09
Speaker 3: And the Dodgers look like they're going to win a
25:11
Speaker 3: lot of four to one games this year, maybe some
25:13
Speaker 3: eight to one games as well. Once Freddy and Mookie
25:16
Speaker 3: are feeling okay, this team looks insane, absolutely insane. Might
25:20
Speaker 3: have to look over the over under again for this team.
25:23
Speaker 3: But anyway, we'll talk about that on Foul Territory later on.
25:26
Speaker 3: You'll see Krats later with Cam Mayben there at Twins camp.
25:29
Speaker 3: AJ good call, get some rest. Dude, Yes, snap, you're
25:32
Speaker 3: now on Tokyo Time. We'll hear you tomorrow for the
25:35
Speaker 3: game again on Fox. You've got Adam Amean with you,
25:38
Speaker 3: and dude, you get to call Roki Sasaki's debut tomorrow.
25:43
Speaker 7: That's really cool, aesome, It's gonna be lit. We mentioned it.
25:47
Speaker 5: Jason Bennetti mentioned it on the Open today when he
25:49
Speaker 5: said there's you know, five years from now, there's going
25:51
Speaker 5: to be seven million fans that said they were at
25:53
Speaker 5: these two games.
25:54
Speaker 7: Well, it's pretty cool that we get to be a
25:56
Speaker 7: small part of it.
25:57
Speaker 5: And it's just historically from Major League Baseball what they've
26:01
Speaker 5: done these games, and then with the two Japanese starters
26:03
Speaker 5: pitching in Japan over the year, let's show hey on
26:06
Speaker 5: the team was pretty incredible.
26:08
Speaker 7: It's just an amazing atmosphere.
26:10
Speaker 1: Yeah.
