Skenes IN for WBC, Braves trending up, Cards fly, Mets CATCH break · Foul Territory

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And my view of the play was, if I'm willing
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to put myself at risk, I should be allowed to
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: block the plate and not take that away from me.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's do a show today. Strats. We don't ask
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: you about this a lot, but I will throw this
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: out there. High school baseball update.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: High school baseball update. We got waffled last night. I
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: appreciate you asking now, So now it's okay. We played
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: a good team, kind of kicked the ball around a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: little bit, but we're we're winding up the end of
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the season. We're going to be the number one ranked
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: team in the district, so it's our district to win
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and then move on to States. But next week starts districts.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Is this your second consecutive year or three now of coaching,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: three years of high school coaching? Is this the most
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: success you've had. I know you don't want to say like, oh,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: these are my favorite, because then the guys from three
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: years ago we'll get jealous. But is this the most
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: talented team or the best record you've put together so far?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: No, the best record was three years ago, the first
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: year I had a Rookie of the Year coaching award. Yeah,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: we were like, I think we only lost three games
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: all season. We made it to semi finals of States and.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Absolutely blew it. But that's okay.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: What have you learned?
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I learned that coaching kids of all different like ability levels,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I need to make sure I start at step A because,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: as you know, a big leaguer being around the game,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: minor leagues, all that stuff, you're on step CE sometimes
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and dudes are just like, ah, what's an infield fly rule?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And you're like, gotta go back over that because sometimes
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: even big league empires screw that up.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: That's true. There's a lot of rules in baseball.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: There are, but if you just walk you can figure out.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: But there's like little things that happen sometimes were you
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I mean I do I watch them, Like, wait, what's
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the rule for that? Again?
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's weak experience. We had to play the other day.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Guy stepped off the mound, tried to backpick our stepped
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: off the rubber, tried to backpick our runner at first,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: threw the ballway that's high school baseball ball is thrown away,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: goes out of play, just missus offense goes out of play.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: We should win on a walk off because it was
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: first and second. They were trying to get the runner
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: at first sleeping. The umpire in the field said he
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: didn't step off the back of the rubber. The umpire
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: behome home behind home plate said he did step off
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the back of the rubber.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: But the rule isn't that.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: If you step off the back of the rubber and
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the ball gets thrown out of play, that it's two bases.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: So the one guy missed the play, the other guy
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: didn't know the rules. So that's what you're dealing with.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: And then you say, hey, I played Major league baseball.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you how it really is. You can't
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you can't throw that out there.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: But it's only one base if the ball goes out
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of play in the field. So how would you have
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: one on a walk off?
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: I don't understand. Now.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: If it steps, if you step back off the mount,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: you become a fielder. If you step off the rubber,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: back off the back of the rubber, you establish yourself
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: as a fielder, and it's two bases. But if you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: throw it away, if you're the short side, you throw
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: it away, that's one base. It's always one base. You
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: don't get two bases, No, it's two bases. You get home,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you get from home to second. It's always two bases.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: It's where the runner is. It's where the runner is
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: when you throw the ball. Wait, so I'll take your
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: word on that one, but I mean I've seen it
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: in the big leagues. They throw a ball away and
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the guy goes from first to second.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, where does he throw it? Where does he
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: throw it from?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Because he's he's from he's between home and first, so
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: he hasn't made it to first base yet. If the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: if the infielder, like let's say the play goes, shortstop
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: bobbles it runner first base, runner, runner bust it through
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the line, gets to first and like something weird happens,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and the shortstops like, oh, I'm still gonna get it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: He's already touched first. He throws it into the stands.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Runner goes to third. You always get two bases, except
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: for the pitcher throwing from the rubber like a pickoff
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: where he's not declared a fielder.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, if you're between first and second, then you
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: get third. So that's second.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: It's two bases.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: You could look at I get what you're saying. You
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: could look at it as he's going to second, he's
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: getting second. Now he gets third, he gets one more base.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Is that what you mean?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't I don't know that.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I I'll take your word for it. I don't think
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: we're talking the same day.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: But that's fine.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's get into the way.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: My kids in the state semifinals. That's all I care about.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: That's so sick. Are they playing at Fort Myers? Yeah,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: they played at the twin Stadium next week. So when
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not here next week, you don't know why?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: That's so soon?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Early next week? Right?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: They play Tuesday semis hopefully Wednesday finals.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: If they win Tuesday, they play Wednesday. Got it?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And full disclosure, full disclosure. I love my team, but
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: a small school in Florida versus a small school in Pennsylvania.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Not the same.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: Unfair advantage. Unfair advantage, and all those players make millions.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: No, but our let's see our starting outfield wallby is
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: d one, our catcher, shortstop, three pitchers first, so we
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: have we're gonna have about ten kids that end up
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: probably signing a Division one schools.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: That's good on this team, which is good.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Hold, that's really impressive.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Your whole team needs to be on hot sheet.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: There's a couple there's a couple of kids that are
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: going like, our center fielder is going to jucode, but
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: he's doing there for the draft. Our third basement is
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: going to Juco. He could play Division one second basements stacked. Yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: it's a pretty good team. Yeah, but we'll see. We
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: got we got some we got to tough games.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Obviously works. There's other stack teams in Florida.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: So yeah. The team we would have to play if
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: we win on Tuesday and they win is called Trinity
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Christian and from Jacksonville. They're like top ten team in
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the country.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's funny. I will say this last thing
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: because I saw aj Son Austin yesterday. I hadn't seen
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: him in a minute.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Let's get big. Yeah, he's left in a good Yeah.

• 6:31
  Speaker 1: we had the awards last night. He had a good
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: night last year and so it was good.

• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and you're all set. Let's charge charge about Paul Sken's
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: just announced that he is going to pitch for Team
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: USA in the World Baseball Classic. We're looking right now
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: at his Instagram with a cool video saying Team USA
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: on the screen, and then it's superimposed the uniform on
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: his body, which will be hopefully a more successful team
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: than the one that he's currently on. But anyway, I
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: was surprised when I saw this. He makes this announcement
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: pretty early. It's a guy who has not gotten paid yet,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: and we haven't seen this much from young top level
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: starters playing for Team USA. I think this is pretty cool,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: at least for now.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts, It is cool for now, but there's so
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: many There's such a long way to go to get
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: skins on this team. I mean, this thing isn't until March,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: so all it takes is a little tweak anywhere during
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the season and the Pirates are going to say no.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: That's why the big the Jipean League has has kind
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of an advantage because they let their guys do this
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and they build up for like months for this. I
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: mean they build up and build up and build up,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: whereas USA goes to their spring training and they have
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: like a week together and then they're like, let's go play,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and a lot of the times. We don't as USA,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: we don't get as Americans, we don't get our best
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: pictures because teams are so scared to let their best
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: pictures go.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: And it's up to generally team.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Ultimately, the team can say no.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Generally obviously the owner has say, but also the GM
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: slash president base bops, whoever's in charge of the front
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: office has say. News flashcrats, that might be someone else.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: For the Pirates, Ben Cherrington might not make it ten
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: more months with this team. It's real, I'm serious. It's
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: year six. They suck. He might not make it through.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Derek Shelton being canned was just phase one when you
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: do it early in a season. If this team ends
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: up terrible, then they're probably going to reevaluate the front
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: office and make a move like that too. Just throwing
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: disclaimers out there. Someone else might come in and be like, yeah, Paul,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: that was the old front office. It's like what they
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: told Ralphie Devers when he signed his big contract. Yeah,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: that was your agreement with Bloom. I'm Bresla.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: But you have as a team, especially a team like
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the Pirates, you have about for Paul before this, he
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: had about three opportunity. They had about three opportunities to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: make this man think I want to stay in Pittsburgh
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and it's the first year, second year, and third year
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of arbitration. That is the only way you can really,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you know, get some get some good will with Paul Skeens.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Paul Skeens comes to you and says, I want to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: play for Team USA because I'm one of the best
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: young pitchers in the game. They say, no, Paul, we
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: better not all right, ah minus one right now. And
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he's gonna stay a pirate. Everyone's like,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: there's no chance he ever stays a pirate. If there's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: any chance, you let this man do something like this,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: And in my opinion, if guys are ready for it,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: they can just build their off seasons for it, you
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: know they I don't know. I just think a big
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: monster dude like this, he's not going to hurt himself
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: going to pitch for Team USA more than he is
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: pitching for the Pirates when they're out of.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: It in June.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: He's going to pitch the same level. And if you
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: have time to prepare for it, now's the time to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: do it. Okay, Hold up, if you think that if
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the Pirates tell him don't, he's not allowed to pitch
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: in tam Usa. He's gonna get mad at the Pirates.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: He's not staying for the with the Pirates past at
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the very latest is six year anyway, So that has
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. The Pirates just have the power. Listen.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I was told no by the White Sox were the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: first WBC after we won the World Series. I kind
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: of tweaked my hamsterring not I was running on a
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: beach and I kind of tweaked my hamstering a little
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: bit and they're like, Nope, no WBC for you. And
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I was like, that was the one that had Clemens
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and Griffy and Jeter and all of them on. It
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: was the first Huh was it much of a discussion, Well,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: because no one really understood what it was then. So
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: I was like, Buck Martinez is the manager. He called
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: me and said, well you do this, and I was like,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: let me think about it. And I called him back
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a couple of days and the way he's like, well, sorry,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: you're out. The White Sox said no, and I was like,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: damn it. So but yeah, I mean the teams can
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: say no. I know that. We're like, oh, the player
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: gonna do whatever he wants, but ultimately the team has
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the power. But the team said yes, the team originally
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: the team said yes. Now of course is because if
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: but here's the thing, he's gonna pitch more innings than
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: he's ever pitched. If he pitches every time. If there
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: is the slightest thing, I mean, the slightest oblique or
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: ham string or knee pain or elbow.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Pain, you're out, dude.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Because the Pirates are going to maximize his starts until
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the moment they trade him or he walks out as
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: a free agency. They should maximize everyone as scheme starts.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: And unless the team tanks and sells all of its parts.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: They're not gonna do. They're not gonna sell schemes no
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: matter what until they have to and they know he's leaving.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not why would they.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, let's say the Pirates actually dump some other
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: players and they put the reset button on again because
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: they have a new front offen because they're gonna dump.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I'm saying they're not going to do that, So next
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: year is still a big deal. They've been bad for
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: a long time, don't you think they're going to be like, hey,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: there's a lot going on here. We need to show
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: signs of a turnaround. You pitching in the World Baseball
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Classic doesn't help us. It's kind of my point, and
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: most stars do think that there is more of an
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: injury risk when you're pitching high level competition before your
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Edwin Diaz and that wasn't even from that, that was
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: from jumping over And now I go, I'll give you
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: a name, Drew Smiley. Look up Drew Smiley and what
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: he was doing and then he ran into the WBC.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not blaming it. I love the WBC, so I'll
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: put that out there. But I do get the point
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: when we've had conversations with active starters who are like, yeah,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: do you want to up my risk of injury by
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: whatever that number is? Then no one will know the
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: exact but do you want to up my risk of
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: injury by ten fifteen percent? Is it worth it for
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: your team, for your owner, for your fan base. That's
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: what we're dealing with here, Kratz, so I was surprised
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: to see him say yes. I hope that more starters
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: say yes. I think there's a better chance that guys
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: who have been in the bigs for a while, have contracts,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: know their bodies really well, say yes to stuff like this,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: but you tell me.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: And then this guy went to Air Force originally, so
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: maybe the Team USA thing. I played with Noah Song
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: for Team USA and he went to Navy. Now I'm forgetting.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I think it went to Navy, but no Song like
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that was an honor for him to wear the USA jersey.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: And my question is you said, you're surprised Paul Skeens
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: said yes, or you're surprised the Pirates said yes, the Pirates,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: not schemes. Listen, it's an honor for anybody to put
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: on their team, their country's jersey. Like to talk to
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: anybody that's played in the WBC, talk to guys all
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: over the place of the Olympics people. I mean, it's
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: an honor to put on the Team USA jersey. You know. Yes,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Paul Skans went the Air Force and he's big in
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the military. There's a lot of guys that have I mean,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I have people in my family that were in the military,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and I love USA so and I would have been
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: honored to wear the USA jersey at some point in
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: my career, right, But it's not that, it's the fact
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: that the pirates have to they ultimately, that's it. The
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: byrates have to say. And if Bob Nutting wakes up
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: whe and says, you know what, I don't want Skins
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to pitch because I want his thirty two starts in
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: a Pirates uniform. And I want him to pitch in
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Bradenton and draw crowds when he pitches in Pirate City
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: and they get that they have a good Hamburger. They're
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a pirate city, So outside of a food truck, I
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: want a lot of people to come and eat the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: food truck.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Don't you think Bob's just gonna ask his GM or
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: whoever his front office leader.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: If it's an I think the chances are less if
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: there's a new GM too, then there are if Huntington's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: stays or Charrington stays.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, because if it's a new guy, he might
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: be like.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: List listen, I don't want this dude to get hurt.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: He's my piece. Like, it's a less of a chance
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: of Charrington's gone for me.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Agreed.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Whoever they bring in is going to be like, my
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: first thing is I don't want I don't want to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: lose scheens for time. And then also if I'm the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: new GM. As much as I hate to say this,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: you got to look into thinking about maybe.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: No matter what competing or trading, if you're a new GM,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: and this is your prize piece, whether you're competing or
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: you're building for the future, this is your prized piece.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: So the owner is probably going to say, hey, in
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: this case, I don't know baseball, you tell me what
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: we should do here. This is now your rains, tell
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: me what to do. It's interesting. That's why I was like,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I just don't think that. I don't I don't know
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: that Bob Nutting. Bob Nutting can stay out of it
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: that much.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: What do you think is more What do you think is
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: more likely?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Scheme's actually pitching for the WBC or US seeing the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: video of AJ running on the beach when he tore
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: his hamstring so he couldn't play in a WBC. Well,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, there is no video of meat pulling my hand, right,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: that's a zero, So it's a zero. So the SKO
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: just running on the beach. Ever, I mean, I usually
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: don't film myself. I'm not Rocky. I don't film myself
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: when I.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Run on the beach.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Mike Piazza taking swings in full uniform
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: on the beach for no reason. I love you, Mike,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: but come on, that was a bad scene. You could
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: have at least taken your shirt off. At the time.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Pam Anderson was still gonna like you and you've never
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: seen that. There's are they're old. Yeah, Mike Piazza full
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Mike Piazza jersey on the beach taking hacks and and
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Pamela Anderson's like, oh, I wonder who that is. Well,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Pam.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: That's how you guys us see.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And the thing like people in the chat are like well,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: judges on the team. Yeah. Position players is a completely
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: different animal. Position player is completely different pitchers, you only
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: have so many bullets. And the fact that teams just
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: don't want their best guys and listen, there's certain guys
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that have power, you know, that have pitched for long enough,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: and they're just like, I want to do this, I'm
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: doing it. I'm under contract. I don't know is there
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: any I don't even know it's you know, Jeremy's asking
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: if there's insurance, there's got to be some sort of
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: an interest. But I don't know what it's huge, it's
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: it's even monstrous. It's decently big insurance for like the
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: little things like when I went over to Japan, for
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: all those stars, there's insurance that has to be taken
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: out and it's not now now those guys are mostly
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: on big time contracts. But the insurance part of it.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: When a dude is obviously there's tears. When the dude's
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a big leaguer, it's more than a minor leaguer. When
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the dude is a top prospect, it's more than a
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: nothing big leaguer. When dudes are all stars, it's more
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: than just a regular big leaguer. Like it's it's tiered.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: But there's some big, big insurance policies. I mean, if
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you look at if you look at the if you
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: look at the team USA, what it could be. I
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: mean schooble schemes. I mean Logan web I mean there's
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: some names out there, endless starting pitching team, I mean
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Logan Gilbert. When you can name them, you can go
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Jacob deGrom, But all these guys aren't gonna get cleared.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: De gram will ever get cleared. Schemes are schooble, probably
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: won't get clear because he said arm problems in the past.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: And if you're the Tigers and he's not signed and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: he's I think it's his last year of ARB next year,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: you think they're gonna say, hell, hey, Terrek, go ahead
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and pitch for Tim, say we just and then just
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: sit there and go God, Please don't let anything, Pope,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: mister Pope. I know you're a White Sox fan and
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the Tiger's in your division, but please don't let anything
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: happen to Trek' school. We like, come on like rider. No,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Sale is gonna be no because he's too old. They're
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: gonna say, I think I'll go he Sale probably has
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a chance, but I don't think it's the end of
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: his career. Yeah, I don't know. He would be one,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I would think. But here's a lot of guys.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I see your point. AJ. If you're Alex Anthopolis and
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Sale is ready to go for the season, do.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I really want him possibly his last year?
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: If I'm Alex, I'm like, WBC's cool, but screw off.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: It's my starter. It's had a checkered injury pasted in
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: his thirties.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: There you go, I'm with you.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: That's why it's complicated, it's bumping up against her.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: It's cool. It's a cool announcement.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Though.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: He nail the announcement.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I agree, he nailed the announcement. It's cool that he's
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: doing it. Aaron Judge has nothing to do with Paul
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Schemes in any way. Position players have nothing to do
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: with pitchers. And also so the last team had plenty
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: of superstars for their Team USA. That's not the problem
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: starting pitch.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: It's the hitting problem.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: No, even relievers you can get away with, I think
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: much better than you can get away with starters.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just such a pain in the ask for
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the manager because they have they can't pitch back to
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: back and teams call him and they have to I mean,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: if you talked to d Row about it, I mean
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: it's like, well, we can't pitch this guy this day. Hey,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: he can't pitch because and they have back to back games,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: and sometimes you don't get the best against the best
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: because you have to wait, you have It's it's a lot.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: It's a lot.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: So Mark de Rosa was on the Philly Show. He's
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: the Team USA manager, former Big leaguer, and he spoke
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: about this. I encourage you to check out that episode.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: We also posted it on our Foul Territory podcast feed
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: maybe two weeks ago, and they asked him about what
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: he learned, and the biggest thing that he was giving
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: back to them was the fact that he had to
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: deal with way too much communication and rules with teams.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to change that much, but
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: his point is that he would like to get players
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: that he has more leeway with. It sounds like he'll
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: do that even if that costs him some talent, So
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. But you could feel the frustration
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: in his answer. He was pissed off that he was
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: told so many rules by so many different people, and
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: it limits you so greatly. I don't know if you're
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: going to escape that completely, but there's probably a way
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: to at least get yourself to certain players that won't
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: have as many restrictions. It's fascinating. It's far away. We're
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: not going to announce every player and spend ten minutes
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: on it on our show. It's so far away. We'll
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: obviously be all over it when it's happening in March,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: but this particular case I felt like was super fascinating.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: So anyway, let us know your thoughts. Hey. By the way,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: the Pirates are fourteen and twenty eight after last night's
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: lossile back and forth with the Mets, sloppy game on
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: both sides late, but Pete Alonzo with the walk off
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: sackfly he leads to the National League in RBIs with
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: thirty six quietly having a monster monster polar Bear year.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: There's the walk off. We're looking at it right now,
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: and that's already the fourth time this season Pittsburgh's lost
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: a game in which Skeian's allowed two runs or Fewerssess
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: with his family barbecue with the tweet. So that's a
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: lot of good Skiins days wasted by a Pirates offense
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: that can't do much. And the play with Henry Davis
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: we'll get into, I guess later in the show. Drove
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: the Mets broadcast crazy. But anyway, Mets a home.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: It shouldn't. It shouldn't have driven them crazy. What they're
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: going to talk about it, Okay, but it shouldn't. It
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: should have. They should have been jumping up and down
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: because it helped them win the game.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're that broadcast team is they're very They're
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: very like that style I did too. Yeah, they treated
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: almost like a national game.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they root for their but they they heavy root
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: for their team.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Of course they do.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: But they also criticize, which most a lot of hometown
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: announcers do not do.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Which makes it such a better broadcast because they're actually
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: being real.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: I agree, be real, be who you are, don't fake it.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Tell me what's going on, tell me the good the
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: bad on both sides. For me, that's a huge difference
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: in a broadcast like that versus some others. Hey, for

• 24:19
  Speaker 2: record since he was called up, and he had the
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: walkoff knock yesterday for the team. But the outfield is lurking.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: It's gonna get a little stronger. Superstar Ronald Kunya junior
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: rehab assignment starts today and he posted on his instagram
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: is that Planet of the Apes or King Kong k
• 24:38

• 24:42
  Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty three National League MVP, He's going
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: to play a little Florida Complex Rookie League ball and
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: he's gonna play in the outfield right off the jump,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: he's been playing.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: He's getting a best I know that I've said that,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: but by the way, can we just get him off
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: social media? Because last time even on social media to
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: an end before. But can I just ask you guys
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: a question. I know we're talking about ron Lakuny, but
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: does anybody have a privacy screen? Do you guys have
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: privacy screens on your I don't products, so I recently
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: got one on my iPad, I just because I don't
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: want when I fly so much, and I watch a
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: lot of movies and sometimes there's scenes that are inappropriate.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: But how do you keep it clean? Sorry, way off
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the rails here, but how do you keep it clean?
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Because it gets so dirty it's like the screen itself does.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you have to clean it all the time. Annoying.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Well, the funny thing is Kratz Ronald Acuna Junior actually
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: knows how to solve this. But AJ just said he
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: can't post on.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Sold But there you goes see I say he can't post.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I just said last time he posted didn't go so good.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: True, true, I don't know. I don't know how to
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: answer that. I mean there's got to be if you hey,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: you can google anything, there's got to be a way
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: where you know, there's some trick you watch it under
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: something and then the screen gets better.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I know, it's fine, it's fine.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: Maybe watch appropriate movies.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but even if there's movies where you're sitting next
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: to like a nice older lady and there's you know,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: a couple of people start well, every show has some
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: sort of action action scene in it, you know, and
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: you're like, you know, the stewardess is walking by, and
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: there's like some naked people on your You're like, I
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: get that ten seconds. Ten seconds.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: It is weird, right, That is always weird when you're
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: on a plane. I mean, and most of my flights
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: are are even if you're.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Watching it on like I fly Delta a lot, so
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: like you're watching Delta on the seatback, and the movies
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: still have it on there, and you know at the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: beginning says if you're not matured and don't watch this movie,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: and I'll just be like whatever proceed. But there are
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: times where and you're like uh, and everyone can see it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: It's like two people doing adult things.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of kids on flights to Orlando.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I know it's like a little bit awkward.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: It is a little bit of sorry.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to the cool cool that went on
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Coon's back. King Kong better better play like King Kong.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: I mean he does, he does sometimes in the sport
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: he does. We'll see. How do you think he's going
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: to come back from a second ACL surgery? Do you
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: think it's gonna take?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: I think he should be better than the first because
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: has already done it.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think they're also slow playing it most.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: They've definitely slow played this one the last time.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I think he's going to be better. Is
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: he going to be twenty twenty three Ronald Acunya Junior Cratz?
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: That's a tall task.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: No.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I would take the under, and I think Braves fans
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: have to appreciate that. Is he going to be better
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: than the other right fielders that they're running out there?
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, So that's an upgrade.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Whatever you get from him to me is probably going
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: to be better than what you already had running out there.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: It's just going to be a matter of making sure
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: he comes along slow, which is really tough to do
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: when you have a dude that just wants to go
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: out and play Ronald 'cunya. He goes and plays winter ball.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Why because he likes to play baseball. He likes to
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: be out there. He's a showman. He wants to be
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: out on the field. Like that's going to be the
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Braves the Mike frost had there. No, Frosty's not their trainer.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: George Pulis is gonna have to make sure he talks
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: to Snit and says, we gotta back them off a
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: little bit. We just played extra innings. We played eleven
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: innings last night. Let's not even pinch hit with him
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: in the seventh, Like give him the full day off,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: which is hard to do. It's like having a race
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: car and not driving.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: It fast, especially when you're going to likely be in
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: no wildcard race. Hey, Sprucey said, use the little micro
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: fiber cloth that they come with.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have one. I have one. I mean, I
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: have one. It's just weird.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: You're sitting here going, yeah, you have to screen.
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Watching your weird films, right, yeah, my weird films, Like,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, I watch it, so I go through shows
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: like I just watched The Righteous Gemstones. There's nudity in
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: that show and it's part of a comedy. It's not
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: like it's an adult film. Yeah right, Or you watch
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: any show like I watched, uh, any show you watch nowadays,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: because they're all on Netflix or HBO or Apple or Hulu,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: they all have adult themes in them.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Even if it's a fortune right, well, come on, if.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: It's what South Park, Wheel of Fortune has adult teams.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: If there's a ten year old sitting next to me,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: I don't want him watching Narcos when I'm watching that.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I mean they're chopping off body parts.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's a million things.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: So anyway, Aliocratz, this is all you for two minutes.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Read the tweet and react.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: John Clark and NBCs Bryce Harper shaved his head trying
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: to turn around his season, just like Nick Sirianne did
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: earlier in the Eagles eventual Super Bowl season.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: But it didn't work.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Bryce Harper is batting two thirty two in the Phillies tonight,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: were just one for seven of runners in the score position.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: They only managed just two runs in the loss to
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the second hottest team in baseball now the hottest team
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: in baseball, Cardinals. So you know what didn't work? But
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: you know what, you know what Nick Swisher's dad always said,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: I'm forgetting Nick Swisher's dad's name, but he would say, Steve,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: thank you. He would say, if you look good, you
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: play good. If you feel good, you play good, go
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: get a haircut. If you don't have a if you
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: don't have any hits, believe me, look at me. I
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: tried it, no hits. I tried it all. But the haircut.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Bryce can shave his head, and then two days later
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: he comes back in with a fauxhawk. The man grows
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: hair like like AJ grows dollar bills on his trees.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: AJ tells me, I suck at this all the time.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: And then I try to get a haircut in Orlando.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I just can't. It's most exclusive.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: About who you know. Scott's all about who you know.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: In the world for the show, for the show.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but anyway, the Phillies are fine. It's one of
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: those teams.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: It's still not even June. We're still about thirty five
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: games in. We're not even at forty games. We're about
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: forty Yeah. Yeah, But Bryce Harper's gonna be fine. He's
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: gonna get hot. He's gonna go on like a three
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: week tear where he just hits like seven hundred hits
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: like homers in three weeks. So everyone's be like, wait,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: he's right back where he is.
• 30:58

• 31:00

  Speaker 2: P xg dot Com slash foul restrictions apply see site
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: for details. In the Weeds Catcher edition, Let's start with
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Pirates Catcher Henry Davis in yesterday's game getting roasted by
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Ron Darling for setting up behind the plate. It led
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: to damn, who was it a Kunya scoring the run?
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Whatever doesn't well, we're about to see, okay, obviously led
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: to the Mets taking a lead, Pirates caught back up,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Mets walk it off, but anyway, it is a huge
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: run at the time of the game, and Ron's like,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: are you kidding me? There are so many reasons why
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: setting up where you did are wrong, including obviously you're
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: letting him come in and you have to reach over. Also,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: the ball getting to you quicker if you're in front.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: And that's all I'm going to say. The rest is
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: you guys, You guys caught.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna let Rads go first on this one because
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: he played after he finished, after I was done, So
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna let Krads go first, and then I'll go
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go back to two thousand and fourteen.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I think when they eliminated the collisions at the plate,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: everybody thought it was just gonna be well, wait, we
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: got to do this.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: We got to try this.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: You got to put one knee down, you gotta do this,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: you got to set up. I remember practicing that exact
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: thing that they talked that he did right there in
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: practice for like six throws, and I was sitting there like,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: what are we doing? What base do you ever teach?
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: When do you ever teach the third basement or the
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: second baseman who tagged people all the time, to stand
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: in foul territory if you're the pun intended, if you
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: are the third baseman, you would you would straddle the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: bag and you would tag him, or you would get
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: to the front of the base to be able to
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: put the tag down right at the base.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Like the ball.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I get the idea that the ball is always going
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: to travel faster than you catching it and swipe tagging,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: But the fact that you have to allow a path
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: does not mean you have to allow the entire path
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: of home plate. So after we did this in twenty fourteen,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: we were like, just go back to doing what you
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: were doing. Just don't stand in front of home plate
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: until you have the ball. Then get in front of
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: home plate. Here's my thing. Thank you Buster Posey for
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: this rule. This is what they're taught.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Ron Drawn can say whatever he wants about this and
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: that and blah blah blah, but this is what guys
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: are taught. Like Kret said, they are taught to get
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: the heck out of the way, and that is the problem.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: They are afraid of, just what Kret said, getting in
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: the way. And we practiced two in twenty fourteen. We
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: remember I was with the Red Sox and we had
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: an hour after hour on how to block the plate.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I'm like, can't we just block the plate like we
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: used to. I never got a hurricane blocking the plate,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: Like I don't understand. It was fun, it was part
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: of the game and it all changed. But this is
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: what they're taught. This is how they're taught to do it.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: They're taught to give the runner rate a runner lane.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: And Tyler Flowers, who I played with it and is kind
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: of he was kind of the guy who started the
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: one knee in the whole way they catch now, but
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: he would go if the line was here, he would
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: always go behind the plate and try to catch the
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: ball and go forward. And I was like, dude, it
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: this makes it easier for the runner and the guy's sliding,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: you're trying to catch the ball behind him. He's like, yeah,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: but this is the way. I know I'm not blocking
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: the lane, but I'm like like this, if you move
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: to this side of the plate and then you have
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: to reach, like, it doesn't make it. Like if he
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: catches it and goes forward, he's probably gonna be out.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: But he catches it and then he has to reach
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: because they're afraid of contact. This is what they're taught.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: This is not a this isn't anything on Henry Davis.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: This is how he's taught to catch.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: This is the way they teach it, right or wrong.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: It's the way they teach it. And well, he did
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: everything right except get the tag down quick enough.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: I know this. I haven't heard back from Jordan yet.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Jordan Comma is what we called him, but Commandena is
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: the catching code from the Pirates. I haven't heard back
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: from him, but I reached out to somebody else and
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: they're not one hundred percent. I didn't see Jordan teaching this,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: so I don't know if this was just a Henry
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Davis thing another and that people need to understand. I
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: don't think this is this this situation, but sometimes you
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: get lost when you're at home plate. Sometimes the play
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: doesn't develop the way you think, and you know, your
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: footwork gets off and like you didn't have a chance
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: to look back down at home plate to make sure
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: you're at the right at the right place. So this
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: is something that guys practice to be in this situation
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: where he was at. It wasn't like he was moving
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: backwards for a long hop and then going to get it.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: He was set up there and essentially cost him the game.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Not essentially it did.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, huge moment in the game.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, I don't know, Listen, Comma or
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: whatever can say that he doesn't teach that, but they
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: teach not to. You have to get off a home plate.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: You can't like what I would have just stood there
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: and I would have taken the throw and gotten hit
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: and tried to tag them right or you know, I
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: would have tried to catch it and have my momentum
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: going towards the runner. But they're just so every one's
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: so taught to avoid contact.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Now, I saw Darnaud get run over. I think it
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: was last night, and they had to remind on the broadcast. Hey,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: you're actually still allowed to make contact. You just don't
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: very often. I know it's crazy.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: But everyone's taught from Little League up you can't touch
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: the catcher, you can't touch the second basement, so nobody
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: thinks about doing it.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: A lot of changes in today's game.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Some people say for the better.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but in that case, I think you got to
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: set up somewhere else.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the problem is he's got to set up
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: in front of the plate.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: If he because that throws perfect money.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's got to be in front of the plate.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know why in the heck he was back there.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I guess he took Maybe he took a step back
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: for the hop. It's the only thing I can think of.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: He's way too far. He's way too far Back's crazy.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: That is crazy. If he didn't know he was that
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: far back, he wouldn't have reached out forward. He would
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: have just knee down and swiped like you normally would.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: But here's here's my thing about the collision at the plate.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: When we had this. When I was on that twenty
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: person call, I didn't know all of who was on
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: that call about changing the rule or not changing the rule.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: It was all big league catchers, and I was actually
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: a big league catcher at the time, and I said,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: my argument with this is, and this is kind of
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: where Henry Davis is at in his career. He has
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to help his team. He's not hitting the
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: ball real well. I got one hundred and fifty to
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: two hundred at bats in a big league season, so
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: that's not as many opportunities as a Buster Posey, Aj Prazinski,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: Yadier Molina. Guess they get five hundred and fifty at
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: bats a season to help their team. Henry Davis had
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: a chance to essentially defensive wise hit a home run
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: right there and take a run off the board. And
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: my view of the play was, if I'm willing to
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: put myself at risk, I should be allowed to block
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: the plate and not take that away from me. So essentially,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: you catered the game to superstars. But it's refreshing for
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: me to hear Aj, who was a superstar, say I
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: still wanted that in the game. What call were you
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: talking about? I wasn't on a call that I wish
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I would have been on a call because I would
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: have told Buster Posey the same thing. I told Jim
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Barry when he was on here, this is for This
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: is not the game that we should be doing. This
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: is not the rules should be changing. If he doesn't,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: if he doesn't get in himself, and if he doesn't
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: put himself in a bad position, then he doesn't get hurt.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: He could put himself in a bad position. It's it's
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: it's simple. The first thing I was taught is when
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: I got to the big leagues. Tom Prince who had
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: been run over a million times, he was older guy.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: He goes, first thing you do, get your feet out
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: of the ground. That's how you get hurt. And that's
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: what I'm to buster posey. He was in a bad position.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Now did the cousins guy veer a little bit, but
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: that's what he was taught. He's like, his leg is
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: in the way. I'm gonna get him, and that's the
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: only way I can score. I knew, like I there
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: were times where it was coming. I'm like, I'm gonna
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: get crushed right here, but I'm gonna go flying. I'm
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: gonna look crazy, but I'm gonna catch the ball. He's
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: gonna be out yep. And that was my whole thing.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Get my feet out of the ground and and go flying.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: It's good combo, but it leads now to moments like this,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: which costs the Pirates the game. Check out moyses by Asteros.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: The dude can rake. He's a catcher. I don't know
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: how much catching he'll do because the Cubs have Amaya
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: and Carson Kelly, but they just called him up Ianhapp
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: to the shelf. They've had Saya Suzuki playing more in
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: the outfield because App's been hurt for what four or
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: five days now, and Justin Turner's not hitting. So you're
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: the Cubs. It's getting close. It's time to keep hitting
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: full throttle with the offense. And here's what JJ Cooper,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: our Baseball America hotsheet host, had to say about moyses Man.
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: What a fun week to be a Cubs fan. We
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: saw Caid Horton make his big league debut this past weekend.
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: Now Moys's Ballasteros is coming up. This is the thing
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: that stands out about this Cubs club. They're not only
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: first in the NL Central right now, but they have
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: more big league ready or right on the cusp of
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: big league ready prospects than almost anyone. Ballisto's a key
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: member of that. Dude just hits. He's hit everywhere he's
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: ever gone. There's really not a whole lot of questions
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: about whether this guy has a big league bat Ballistaros
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: has really above average hitting ability. The question has always been,
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: he's a bigger dude to be a catcher. Is the
• 41:19
  Speaker 5: defense big league ready looks like right now, that's not
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: really the concern. They want him to hit. They want
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: him to DH. Yes, he can't catch if they need
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: it to, but for now, just let Moys's Ballistaro's hit.
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: He was hitting three sixty eight in triple A. Dude
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: can hit. That's not gonna be a big problem for him.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Just if you're the Cubs, make sure you don't say
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: throw your glove away. Apparently that's not good.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: Catchers have been good, though, No I know, I know.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: So that's why this is kind of a little bit
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: of a weird call of no, because they're just gonna DH. Yeah, no,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I know that, but still their catchers have been really
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Kurt Kelly and im I have been good.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he might not catch at all right now.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: He's going Kyle SCHWARBERO.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: This is saying Justin Turner's not hit we're putting you
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: at DH because we want to keep thriving offensively. Hot
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Sheets the show with JJ Cooper on it, we cover prospects.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: But yeah, this guy has question marks about he's catching ability.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Big spot for him, like, let's just plug him in
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: and see if he can rake at the big league
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: level because he is paching minor league pitch. All right,
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: we're back. Let's saw Cardinals for a few minutes. I
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: want to make sure that we're giving attention to the
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: right places. This team won again yesterday. They took down
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: a Philadelphia Phillies club by a run with some late
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: offense and now have won nine games in a row. Kratz,
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: what did you think of the performance there for the
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Cards against the team you get to watch the most.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's the same mo. I mean I should
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: have taken the first five with the with the Phillies again,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: you know, taking Cardinals first five yesterday.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: It's a hot team.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: It's a hot team is getting big swings in big spots,
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: and the Phillies have a tough time with the curveball.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: They have a tough time with the curve ball, but
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: they also have a tough time facing starting pitching the
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Phillies will be fine. The Cardinals have surprised me so much.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: It is an old it's almost like old school baseball,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: like don't strike out, don't swing at balls. It's like
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: it'll never work. You got to hit homers. Well showed
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: they had a nice little win last night.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Bob Knight and guest said, weren't this Cardinals team
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: we're with the Saint Louis Cardon's supposed to be rebuilding
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: this year.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: They never said that were building. They said they never
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: said they were rebuilding. They just said they were kind
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: of retooling. But they just didn't spend money. It wasn't
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: that they never said they were rebuilding. They just said
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: they're kind of reevaluating with High and Bloom taking over
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: for John mos Alog. But they never said rebuilding. They
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: just basically said, we're not going to go out and
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: spend a lot of money.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Rebuilding would be trading away Wilson, Contreras, Sonny Gray, go
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: down the line. Maybe even some guys that are not
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, they tried to move Arnat of course.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: They had guys to move me Michael. They could probably
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: get someone Fetti. There's some names they have. They could
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: probably they tried to they tried to move guys. That
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: to me, that's a retool, reboot, rebuild whatever. They didn't
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: get it, So to me, you can't say they weren't
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: trying to rebuild. But I guess all those decisions, those
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: guys aren't getting in the way of people that they
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: want to play. Look what Look what Herrera's doing. He's hitting,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: he went onto al He's hit hit another dinger last night.
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Like if they had Wilson Contreres behind a dish, he
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be he wouldn't be getting his opportunity. Pajes is
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: one of the one of the big leaders. So if
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: two dudes behind the plate that are not being blocked
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: by Wilson Contreres, I don't know that Nolan Arnado's blocking
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: anybody other than you know, they're playing guys in different spots,
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: either Nolan Gorman or Brennan Donovan, somebody.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: He's blocking some spots.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: But if you're getting at bats for guys, it's not
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: necessarily a rebuild where you just broke everything down. But
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: they they tried to do that in the off season.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: They tried to trade Sonny Gray. He said no, they
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: tried to trade Nolan Aernato. He said not yet, and
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: they probably asked Wilson, but he said, nah, I'd rather
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: play first.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: Can we finish with this? I'm gonna mention the Buster
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: only tweet just because it's another component of the team
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: that's really working for them right now. We talked about
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: a few components yesterday, starting pitching, giving length, defense, playing well,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: bullpen nails lately their third and on base percentage in
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. Brendan Donovan's having a banger year. He's
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: on base so over thirty seven percent of the time.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Same with Lars new Bar. Victor Scott's getting on board,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: and he's annoying to deal with once he's on base
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: because he's fastest lightning. Nolan Aronado's on base obviously thirty
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: five percent of the time.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: But I thought Brent Brown didn't know what he was doing.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: He said that the Mariners, right, that's right.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: The Mariner's about this time last year.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: New hitting coach who it is? Yep, new phone who
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: did So it's working. It's working.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: It's all about personnel. It's all about finding the right
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: hitting coach for your personnel. I'm serious. That's what it
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: could boils down to.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: That's why some teams have different approaches with hitting coaches, right,
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: two or three guys nowadays, because like you said, sometimes
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: one guy just totally doesn't vibe and it's like no offense.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: But this is not for me. Yeah, good for the car.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: It's fun story and that's why the and they stay
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: in it though we'll see, but they'll add if they're
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: in this spot at the deadline, and that's why the close.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Like I said yesterday, Mozayalak doesn't want to go out
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: having a bad season. He would much much rather go
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: out having a good season.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: He's loving this.
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: He's loving this.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: He's like he's basically giving the middle finger to everybody
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: that said he sucked. He's like, oh, really, look at
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: how we're doing now. And if they maintain this because
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: and he really can give some middle fingers.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Cubs called up one of their top hitting prospects just now.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: They're looking behind them seeing the car. Now they know
• 46:55

• 48:09
  Speaker 2: Night last night was probably Padre's Angels because of how
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: wild they got late and also.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: I would say Me's Pirates with Schemes on the Mountain
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Pirates thing that.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: Entering the night. Then when you watch the games.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: It was still a great game. The Mets got to
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: walk off.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: It was a great game. Okay, But before.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: We dig into whatever you're gonna say, I have a
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: question for crowds. We just showed in the commercials we
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: have like these little clips of games that are run
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: and if you saw that it was a throw home
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: and Henry Davis kind of knocked it down. My question
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: for crowds is if there was no play at the
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: play crafts, would you catch the ball because dudes would
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: throw it like, I would just let it go and
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: I'd just be like, I'm my kidding, app ballou. I
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: would never like, I would never like, I would just
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: let it go.
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: I go.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: When I knew, when I knew it was an automatic,
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: like we're not getting them. There were times who have
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: pissed me off so much, I would just let it go.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: I hope it caught somebody's ankle. I know they're gonna
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: feel it because they're celebrating. I hope it caught somebody's ankle.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: See uh huh. Like there are times where you're just
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: pissed and you're just like especially if it was like
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: coming from right field and the team was coming out
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: of this dug out or the other doug You'd just
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: be like, just let it go, see what happens.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: And you have to have self awareness if you're a player,
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: make sure you don't get smoking of.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Most of them are paying attention, is still inactive pay attention. Okay,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: but I'm just saying like I unless it was there
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: was a chance I would then I would try and
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: catch it. Sure, but there were so many times I'd
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: just be like, o E, let's see where it goes.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't ball around.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Back there on a sack fly. Most of the time
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: it's deep enough, you're like, Okay, the outfielder's gonna throw,
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: but it's stupid.
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, Robert Suarez had a five one e R,
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: a fifteen saves. You walk to people, had four consecutive walks,
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: gave up five runs andres will be fine. They had
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: a five to three lead in the ninth Angels. I
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: feel I feel good for them. You know, they needed
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: something like this. They won nine to five.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: They need a day game on a getaway today. That's
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: what they need.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: They do, you know what, And they had good karma
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: because Logan o hoppies back down to two knee catching
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: two foot catching right, no knee, no kneed, Yeah, no
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: one knee.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Him and him and Jiggy might be the last two.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know what we're gonna ask him when
• 50:30
