Latest / Tiger Territory: A Detroit Tigers Podcast / Tigers spring training stock report: Who's up? Who's down?
Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: And welcome into another episode of Tiger Territory. Foul Territory Network,
- 0:13Speaker 1: Detroit Tiger's podcast. I'm Karen Seckley with me as always
- 0:16Speaker 1: a man that believes ties along with suits and not ballgames.
- 0:20Speaker 1: He's Coday Savinaggan.
- 0:20Speaker 2: How you doing, Hey? Doing all right? I agree with that.
- 0:24Speaker 2: I think I don't know. I don't want X trainings
- 0:25Speaker 2: in spring training, but ties come on ties.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Really, there's there's probably some way that they could have
- 0:34Speaker 1: an official winner. In fact, I think the Tigers have
- 0:37Speaker 1: was it two five and three? I'm not really tracking
- 0:39Speaker 1: the record that that closely, but I believe they have
- 0:41Speaker 1: more ties than wins, so.
- 0:43Speaker 2: There's a killer instinct.
- 0:47Speaker 1: These are the hard hitting questions you can expect on
- 0:50Speaker 1: Tiger Territory. Please subscribe on YouTube, Apple and Spotify if
- 0:53Speaker 1: you haven't already.
- 0:54Speaker 3: We appreciate all of you.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Uh really, it's pretty simple here what we're gonna talk about.
- 0:59Speaker 1: We're gonna do stock up and stock down report on
- 1:02Speaker 1: several Tigers. But the important thing to note, Cody is
- 1:06Speaker 1: that in twenty twenty six spring training, the world belongs
- 1:11Speaker 1: to Kevin McGonagall.
- 1:12Speaker 3: Like that's it.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Like Kevin McGonagall, Like for all the all right, yeah
- 1:18Speaker 1: it's spring training or yeah it's the competition, and you
- 1:21Speaker 1: know whatever, I'm not sure we could possibly have gotten
- 1:26Speaker 1: like a better like result that matched the hype coming
- 1:31Speaker 1: in for Kevin McGonagall. And I think and I actually think, like, look,
- 1:34Speaker 1: whether we'll talk about, you know, to make the team
- 1:36Speaker 1: aspect of it here in a second, but if nothing else,
- 1:39Speaker 1: I actually do believe that is important. And obviously a
- 1:43Speaker 1: really good sign is that, like there, if you were
- 1:46Speaker 1: like which I don't think there were very many, if
- 1:49Speaker 1: you were like somewhat of a skeptic of Kevin McGonagall,
- 1:53Speaker 1: you don't have any evidence based on spring training, like
- 1:57Speaker 1: like you're just like taking l's left and right, and
- 2:00Speaker 1: and even today, like you know, we're recording this Sunday afternoon,
- 2:04Speaker 1: after the latest Tigers tie, Kevin McGonagall is looking like
- 2:09Speaker 1: a capable shortstop. I'm trying to use my words like
- 2:13Speaker 1: carefully here, like I'm not trying to overrate stuff, but
- 2:16Speaker 1: he's looking like a capable shortstop, which if you have
- 2:19Speaker 1: the bat profile of McGonagall, capable shortstop is you know,
- 2:25Speaker 1: quite doable to say the least. So anyway, he's had
- 2:28Speaker 1: a big week. You know, we can throw some stats
- 2:31Speaker 1: in spring training. He's batting four sixty two. I don't
- 2:33Speaker 1: know if you think that's a good thing or not. Uh,
- 2:35Speaker 1: he's got a two twenty six WRC plus he had
- 2:39Speaker 1: two uh and we have a more information here, a
- 2:42Speaker 1: graphic on our on our YouTube, UH to one hundred
- 2:46Speaker 1: and seven plus basically one hundred and eight mile per
- 2:49Speaker 1: hour hits in the same inning.
- 2:53Speaker 3: I mean, look, look, look like.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Whatever happens from here on out in terms of roster stuff,
- 2:58Speaker 1: the dude came ready to go.
- 3:02Speaker 3: And I think he at.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Least I think that is at least like something that
- 3:05Speaker 1: we ought to spend a little bit of time.
- 3:06Speaker 3: One. In terms of the Ken McGonagall story.
- 3:11Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we talked a loud camp. Could he
- 3:14Speaker 2: have a loud camp? Could he push his way onto
- 3:16Speaker 2: this team? We don't really know the answers to can
- 3:19Speaker 2: he push his way onto this team? But if you
- 3:22Speaker 2: want to know what that process looks like, he's he's
- 3:24Speaker 2: kind of doing it right now. And it's very easy
- 3:27Speaker 2: to be fooled by spring training results and batting average
- 3:30Speaker 2: and all that. I would just say the esthetic of
- 3:33Speaker 2: Kevin McGonagall at the plate passes every test. The exit
- 3:36Speaker 2: velocities prove it. The way he manages his at bats
- 3:40Speaker 2: using the whole field like has been incredibly impressive shortstop.
- 3:45Speaker 2: I would like to see him test it a little
- 3:47Speaker 2: bit more, just like range wise, going to backhand side
- 3:50Speaker 2: things like that. But we did see him in some
- 3:52Speaker 2: different situations Sunday. The double plays made a nice play
- 3:55Speaker 2: on a slow roller. Like the quick hands. The quick
- 3:58Speaker 2: exchange is a real thing that I think might help
- 4:01Speaker 2: make up for probably not elite range. You know, aj
- 4:06Speaker 2: Hinch talks about his baseball timing and it is really good.
- 4:09Speaker 2: I think some of the little things pre pitch, which
- 4:13Speaker 2: they already kind of dove into it. After the first
- 4:17Speaker 2: spring training game, he was landing a little bit late
- 4:19Speaker 2: on his pre pitch set up, and that's really important
- 4:22Speaker 2: because he might not have this elite range, but if
- 4:25Speaker 2: he does all the little things right, which he generally does,
- 4:28Speaker 2: he can kind of find ways to make up for that.
- 4:30Speaker 2: So he has good instincts in that regard in the
- 4:33Speaker 2: first place. Working with the major league staff, they're already
- 4:36Speaker 2: diving into some little things to help get them even better.
- 4:39Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly what that's gonna mean. But man,
- 4:42Speaker 2: it is very hard to not be impressed by Kevin
- 4:45Speaker 2: McGonagall right now.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Well, look the.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Like the phrasing that you know, us on the outside use,
- 4:55Speaker 1: and then I think he also kind of alluded to
- 4:58Speaker 1: it is like, you know, put pressure on the front
- 5:00Speaker 1: office and the coaching staff to say no essentially in
- 5:03Speaker 1: terms of him breaking with the team. I like, you know,
- 5:08Speaker 1: like I live in two different spaces with Kevin McGonagall
- 5:11Speaker 1: where it's like, I don't know how given that he's
- 5:14Speaker 1: done everything you've asked, Like there's a certain element of fairness.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Isn't quite what I mean, but there's a certain level
- 5:21Speaker 1: of like he's done everything you've asked of him. He
- 5:24Speaker 1: has shown the ability to be one of your top
- 5:28Speaker 1: you know, a top nine hitter, like you know, one
- 5:30Speaker 1: through nine, and the defense is fine, you know, we'll
- 5:34Speaker 1: see I guess, but like like he like he deserves.
- 5:37Speaker 1: We don't really like deserve is not necessarily always like
- 5:41Speaker 1: the way it goes, but he kind of deserves to
- 5:44Speaker 1: be on this team. Uh. But I just the other
- 5:46Speaker 1: side my brain is like I just don't I don't
- 5:48Speaker 1: see it.
- 5:49Speaker 3: It would it would it would.
- 5:51Speaker 1: Be a and I don't even think I don't even
- 5:53Speaker 1: care about the service time element. I saw somebody kind
- 5:55Speaker 1: of suggesting that on X, and I don't think that's
- 5:58Speaker 1: a uh really at play here. I could be wrong,
- 6:01Speaker 1: but that doesn't enter my mind into the calculus. I
- 6:05Speaker 1: just think the Tigers tend to be meticulous with their
- 6:09Speaker 1: process and it would be quite an outlier to skip
- 6:13Speaker 1: a whole level of play, obviously being triple A, and
- 6:18Speaker 1: he's so young. I just it's hard for me to
- 6:21Speaker 1: get there from a logic standpoint.
- 6:23Speaker 3: Emotionally I'm there.
- 6:23Speaker 1: Emotionally I'm all the way there, but logically I just
- 6:27Speaker 1: don't see it. And so I'm wondering, Cody, which one
- 6:31Speaker 1: is more right, and not necessarily like right now, not
- 6:35Speaker 1: like for a prediction, but like right now, which one
- 6:37Speaker 1: is more right?
- 6:37Speaker 3: Because I don't know.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still kind of airing on the conservative side
- 6:42Speaker 2: here that Kevin McGonagall will start in triple A. I
- 6:45Speaker 2: don't know that I have a super high degree of
- 6:47Speaker 2: confidence in that, just because he is answering so many
- 6:50Speaker 2: questions and checking so many boxes right now. But in
- 6:54Speaker 2: a way that almost shows me like Scott Harris might
- 6:57Speaker 2: be watching that and thinking, oh, this guy's legit, this
- 7:00Speaker 2: is our future. So it almost reinforces the fact that
- 7:03Speaker 2: they are going to handle him very cautiously. That they
- 7:06Speaker 2: are going to handle him. Maybe responsibly is a better
- 7:10Speaker 2: word than cautious. Take their time, get them some AB's
- 7:14Speaker 2: and triple A, let them get tested. Even though this
- 7:17Speaker 2: is spring training, he has faced some major league arms.
- 7:19Speaker 2: It's a little different than facing guys who are, you know,
- 7:24Speaker 2: sure thing big league starters every single day. It's still
- 7:27Speaker 2: a different beast. The playing, the travel, the day after day,
- 7:32Speaker 2: the day game after night game, all those things are
- 7:34Speaker 2: more heightened in the major leagues. It's tougher. Is Kevin
- 7:37Speaker 2: mcgonaga go one of your best nine or best thirteen
- 7:40Speaker 2: hitters right now? He sure looks like it, you know,
- 7:43Speaker 2: and it's kind of hard to argue against that. But
- 7:46Speaker 2: does that mean he's on the opening day roster. I'm
- 7:50Speaker 2: not sure it does. And spring training is long too,
- 7:53Speaker 2: so if he continues to hit above four hundred through
- 7:58Speaker 2: all of camp, there was in a little extra power,
- 8:01Speaker 2: like I don't know, maybe it does get to a
- 8:03Speaker 2: point where it's just too good to deny, But for
- 8:05Speaker 2: right now, I'm staying on the conservative side of that line.
- 8:11Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you're right.
- 8:12Speaker 1: And I also, you know, look at the big picture,
- 8:15Speaker 1: like it's okay if he goes to Toledo for you
- 8:19Speaker 1: know whatever, three weeks, a month, you know whatever, Like
- 8:22Speaker 1: the Tigers in theory should be okay, and then him
- 8:26Speaker 1: long term, you know, should be okay. But like it's
- 8:30Speaker 1: hard not to just recognize, you know, our eyes are
- 8:33Speaker 1: not lying to us, Like there is some context that's important,
- 8:36Speaker 1: but our eyes are not lying to us. He looks
- 8:38Speaker 1: like a major league baseball player right now. Random little
- 8:44Speaker 1: quick topic here, Cody. I did not prep you for this,
- 8:47Speaker 1: so I apologize in advance. But I had a thought
- 8:50Speaker 1: today as I was watching and listening to the game.
- 8:53Speaker 1: Are they wearing the alternative jerseys a little bit too
- 8:56Speaker 1: much in spring training? Yes, because it feels like it's
- 9:00Speaker 1: it's supposed to be a special kind of new look,
- 9:03Speaker 1: fresh thing.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Now they're just basically they're the.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Spring jersey jerseys right now, and I just don't want
- 9:10Speaker 1: that to be like looped together, so they wait them
- 9:13Speaker 1: too much? Yeah?
- 9:14Speaker 2: I think so. I think there might be some rule
- 9:17Speaker 2: where you can only have a set amount of jerseys,
- 9:19Speaker 2: and the spring training jerseys count as one of those.
- 9:22Speaker 2: So maybe they've been like phased out. I don't know.
- 9:24Speaker 2: I think if that's a rule, that's a stupid rule.
- 9:26Speaker 2: They should get rid of it. I think it's very
- 9:30Speaker 2: Tigers in that, like they do something nice, they do
- 9:32Speaker 2: something good, and it's like almost over like like overdoing it.
- 9:36Speaker 2: I feel like they do that in different aspects of
- 9:38Speaker 2: the organization. I don't I don't really know why you
- 9:42Speaker 2: release the jerseys. The reception was pretty positive. They look nice,
- 9:45Speaker 2: but a lot of people are buying them. You do
- 9:49Speaker 2: want them to maintain some level of a special feel.
- 9:51Speaker 2: And now it's just like all right, you're you know,
- 9:53Speaker 2: they're they're gonna feel old again by by the time
- 9:55Speaker 2: they're worn in the major in the major league season.
- 9:58Speaker 1: I think, yeah, No, I mean it's just like, you know,
- 10:02Speaker 1: these images like the Kevin McGonagall and a Tiger's uniform
- 10:06Speaker 1: images for like the history of mankind or his the
- 10:09Speaker 1: rest of Mankind is gonna be including these jerseys, but
- 10:11Speaker 1: they're gonna be like in spring training, so like in
- 10:13Speaker 1: fifty years might be like, are those the spring training jerseys?
- 10:16Speaker 1: You know you look at the yeah, when you when
- 10:18Speaker 1: you're when you're looking back at Kevin mcgonagall's Hall of
- 10:20Speaker 1: Fame career. You're gonna be like, assuming they're they're spring
- 10:23Speaker 1: training Jersey. So it's just, you know, just just just
- 10:26Speaker 1: a thought I had. So I'm glad we're on this.
- 10:28Speaker 1: We're on the same page there. Uh all right, let's
- 10:31Speaker 1: get to speaking of unique like one of the more
- 10:35Speaker 1: unique aspects of this spring training is obviously the World
- 10:39Speaker 1: Baseball Classic. And by the way, every uh, all of
- 10:42Speaker 1: our coverage of the World Baseball Classes, which there will
- 10:45Speaker 1: be plenty, is brought to you by our friends of
- 10:47Speaker 1: Fox One. Uh. The Tigers are going to play a
- 10:51Speaker 1: game in the Dominican Republic. You will be there a
- 10:54Speaker 1: couple of games, actually, including against the Dominican Republic World
- 10:58Speaker 1: Baseball Classic team, and we have the roster for that.
- 11:01Speaker 1: So I was gonna read that off real quick and
- 11:03Speaker 1: then throw it to you, Cody about what you're kind
- 11:05Speaker 1: of looking forward to.
- 11:06Speaker 3: So bear with me for a second.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Everybody got fifteen Pitcherscot f Rost, Shawn Gunther, Brendan handfee Brand, Hurder,
- 11:12Speaker 1: Ty Madden, Tyler, Matt Madison, Connor Pinkington, Bryan Sammons, Matt Singler,
- 11:18Speaker 1: Burch Smith, Dylan Smith, Cole Waits, Carlos Penya, Johann Simon
- 11:24Speaker 1: and Tanner col heep catchers Brasenio, Lorenzo Rogers and Bennett Lee.
- 11:30Speaker 1: And then infielders Hobby Bias, Cole, Keith, Kevin mcgonagall's at McKinstry,
- 11:34Speaker 1: John Peck, Spencer, Torklsen, Chris Meyers, Jack Penny, Gage Workman,
- 11:38Speaker 1: and then the outfield Max Clark, Riley Green, Corey Jolkes,
- 11:41Speaker 1: Ben Muljerry Wentzel, Perez, Seth Stevenson, and Woody Hayden. So
- 11:47Speaker 1: pretty h I would say, a pretty pretty solid like
- 11:51Speaker 1: line up there, Like in terms of like if you're
- 11:52Speaker 1: looking forward to watching it, like, you get a lot there,
- 11:55Speaker 1: you get you know mcgonagall's, you get the stars, and
- 11:57Speaker 1: you get some interesting pitchers.
- 11:59Speaker 3: So anyway you're gonn be there.
- 12:00Speaker 1: What are you looking forward to to, like seeing you know,
- 12:03Speaker 1: this kind of unique event?
- 12:05Speaker 2: I think just the atmosphere, right. You hear all the
- 12:07Speaker 2: time about how good the the atmosphere is in the
- 12:10Speaker 2: Caribbean Series and Latin American baseball in general. This will
- 12:13Speaker 2: be my first time in the DR, first time in
- 12:16Speaker 2: an event like that. I think people are really excited
- 12:19Speaker 2: about the Dominican national team. So just seeing some of
- 12:21Speaker 2: the stars that will be there, I think is probably
- 12:25Speaker 2: the most exciting thing from a Tiger's perspective. You know,
- 12:30Speaker 2: I don't know, They're they're bringing some good position players,
- 12:33Speaker 2: they are not bringing premium pitchers. They're bringing some names
- 12:38Speaker 2: that that you and others struggle to pronounce, which is understandable.
- 12:42Speaker 2: So I don't know that I'm I don't know, like,
- 12:45Speaker 2: I don't think there's one thing I'm locking in on
- 12:47Speaker 2: an other than just the atmosphere. I think it'll be
- 12:49Speaker 2: fun for guys, It'll be meaningful for Wincel Perez and
- 12:54Speaker 2: and others from that country. From Bravaldez is not pitching,
- 12:56Speaker 2: but will make the trip just to just to kind
- 12:59Speaker 2: of be there. So I think that's all good.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you know, like I think if we had
- 13:07Speaker 1: ajax on, he would probably say, like you know this,
- 13:12Speaker 1: you know, like the competition aspect would get him fired
- 13:15Speaker 1: up to go up against like, you know, go up
- 13:17Speaker 1: against a national team, like you know, that's obviously gonna
- 13:21Speaker 1: feel feel different than you know, playing in Lakeland. You know,
- 13:25Speaker 1: it just is so like seeing seeing the guys kind
- 13:28Speaker 1: of respond, like I'm I'm telling you right now, I'm
- 13:30Speaker 1: already prepared to like if McGonagall hits like a three
- 13:34Speaker 1: run home run, Like I'm just telling you, there's gonna
- 13:37Speaker 1: be an overreaction on this podcast, you know, the next day.
- 13:40Speaker 2: So Hobby bay is I think Hobby is gonna show out.
- 13:43Speaker 2: It seems like something Hobby's made for Hobby.
- 13:46Speaker 3: Yeah, this is.
- 13:48Speaker 1: If Hobby was not on this ruster, he would have
- 13:51Speaker 1: just flown himself to go over there and uh and
- 13:55Speaker 1: playing the game sort of Wesley Snipe style in UH
- 13:57Speaker 1: in Major League.
- 13:58Speaker 2: And probably wishes he was with Team Puerto Rico and
- 14:01Speaker 2: he's not, which might might fuel his his motivation to
- 14:05Speaker 2: show out in the dr for a couple of days.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you know, Hobby loves the moments, right
- 14:12Speaker 1: so so anyway, yeah, I think it's it's a fun
- 14:14Speaker 1: thing that the Tigers get to do. And and yeah,
- 14:16Speaker 1: and aj Hinch obviously like he knows how to read
- 14:19Speaker 1: the room, like, you know, putting this this group together,
- 14:23Speaker 1: like you know, he made sure to include guys that
- 14:25Speaker 1: it was gonna you know, get a lot of meaning
- 14:26Speaker 1: from So shout out to the Tigers for doing this
- 14:30Speaker 1: the right way. All right, let's get to the meat
- 14:37Speaker 1: of this podcast, Cody, And that's a little bit of
- 14:39Speaker 1: a stock report. As we are into March now and
- 14:45Speaker 1: spring training is is is heating up with again some
- 14:47Speaker 1: more important games. Some more guys are gonna get opportunities
- 14:50Speaker 1: because of you know, World Baseball Classic obligations and and
- 14:54Speaker 1: all that stuff. And obviously the number one name for
- 14:58Speaker 1: stock up is Ken McGonagall. We already talked about him,
- 15:02Speaker 1: but Kevin McGonagall could not The stock could not be
- 15:04Speaker 1: more up for Kevin McGonagall, So I had to give
- 15:07Speaker 1: that a.
- 15:07Speaker 3: Mention and then stuck down.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Uh we mentioned this a little bit last time
- 15:15Speaker 1: we were on. But Troy Melton obviously he hasn't not
- 15:20Speaker 1: like he played.
- 15:21Speaker 3: Portly pitch poorly.
- 15:22Speaker 1: He's hurt and those things, you know, they they tend
- 15:25Speaker 1: to go a little bit optimistic when they talk about it.
- 15:29Speaker 3: But it's hard.
- 15:32Speaker 1: For me to just you know, get me to the
- 15:35Speaker 1: diagnosis and then we'll see. But I don't know, man,
- 15:39Speaker 1: I can't help but be nervous about anything related to this.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. It was it was
- 15:44Speaker 2: general arms soreness. I think we've since learned that is
- 15:46Speaker 2: right elbow inflammation. Troy Melton talked to Chris mccoskey and
- 15:51Speaker 2: some others. I really don't know how much I can say,
- 15:54Speaker 2: he said, but I don't want to say it. But honestly,
- 15:57Speaker 2: I'm not too concerned about anything long term. Will know
- 16:01Speaker 2: more for sure in a couple of days or a week,
- 16:03Speaker 2: but I'm pretty positive for the time being. Not real
- 16:08Speaker 2: sure what to make of those comments. And they've heard
- 16:12Speaker 2: it before, right, Guys always say they're fine and sometimes
- 16:15Speaker 2: they end up not being fine. So yeah, I think
- 16:19Speaker 2: we got to fast forward this one to the actual diagnosis.
- 16:21Speaker 2: He's shut down from throwing right now. When you hear
- 16:24Speaker 2: elbow and not throwing, that is immediately concerning. And even
- 16:28Speaker 2: if let's say he ends up getting good news and
- 16:32Speaker 2: can resume a throwing program, this is something that will
- 16:34Speaker 2: kind of linger, at least in the back of my
- 16:37Speaker 2: mind for a while. Again, like managing pictures in this
- 16:41Speaker 2: day and age is so tough and they're just so
- 16:43Speaker 2: prone to to, you know, major arm injuries. I if
- 16:48Speaker 2: you guys recall I was worried last year in this
- 16:50Speaker 2: offseason about Troy Melton just because his usage was kind
- 16:54Speaker 2: of non conventional. You know, he was a starter and
- 16:56Speaker 2: then he went to the pin, but then he would
- 16:58Speaker 2: be used in some longer stints quite when he was
- 17:00Speaker 2: coming in. And I don't even know that I'm like
- 17:03Speaker 2: accusing the Tigers of doing something wrong there. I just
- 17:07Speaker 2: think anytime a pitcher's routine deviates, it's natural to get nervous.
- 17:12Speaker 2: And here we are already in the spring with a
- 17:15Speaker 2: young pitcher who's on the shelf with an elbow injury.
- 17:18Speaker 2: So we'll see what comes of it. Certainly concerning if
- 17:21Speaker 2: the Tigers aren't able to have Melton, it probably would
- 17:24Speaker 2: have started the year in Triple A. Definitely gonna start
- 17:27Speaker 2: the year in Triple A. Now's if he's healthy. It's
- 17:30Speaker 2: pretty exciting to think, oh, that could be your sixth guy,
- 17:33Speaker 2: that could be your next guy up, and just jeopardizing
- 17:36Speaker 2: that maybe even looking forward to twenty twenty seven. Those
- 17:39Speaker 2: aren't fun conversations to have. So we'll check back on
- 17:43Speaker 2: this again once we get more definitive word.
- 17:49Speaker 1: All right, Well, you know, essentially the guy who you
- 17:53Speaker 1: know pushed him out of the starring rotation.
- 17:57Speaker 3: Justin Verlander.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Obviously has not pitched in a spring training game, but
- 18:02Speaker 1: he's getting a lot of work and he has to
- 18:04Speaker 1: be still be a stock up guy, because the reverence
- 18:08Speaker 1: in which people talk about Justin Verlanders still like it's
- 18:13Speaker 1: kind of funny, like, you know, we basically saw him
- 18:15Speaker 1: grow up if you're a Tigers fan and he goes
- 18:17Speaker 1: away for you know, several years and he comes back,
- 18:19Speaker 1: but there's still like a novelty to Justin Verland, and
- 18:22Speaker 1: I mean that is like, you know, I think that's
- 18:24Speaker 1: really cool that it's like, oh, look at the way
- 18:26Speaker 1: he prepares and you know how he's doing these live
- 18:28Speaker 1: vps and like all this stuff, like there's not that
- 18:31Speaker 1: like approval ready and like near one hundred percent of
- 18:36Speaker 1: not one hundred percent with Justin Berland right now, So
- 18:40Speaker 1: hard not to say stock up there.
- 18:43Speaker 2: It's stock up for the whole team. Just having him around,
- 18:45Speaker 2: there's no doubt. I'm really fascinated because as much as
- 18:48Speaker 2: we've talked about him, it's like a total wild card
- 18:51Speaker 2: in terms of what his performance is going to be.
- 18:53Speaker 2: I have zero idea what to expect. It could be
- 18:56Speaker 2: anywhere on the spectrum from dominant to like unusable. I
- 19:01Speaker 2: think the hope is that he's probably somewhere in that
- 19:03Speaker 2: middle ground, right and he's solid but really no idea
- 19:07Speaker 2: where to place actual expectations. We've talked about before. There's
- 19:10Speaker 2: some signs the way you finished last year that he
- 19:12Speaker 2: could be good, but you know, he's forty three, who knows.
- 19:15Speaker 2: So I'm ready to see him getting some games and
- 19:17Speaker 2: getting some live action, no doubt.
- 19:21Speaker 3: All right, and stock Down, sorry to say.
- 19:25Speaker 1: It, Trek Schooble, like you know, like, look, look, let's
- 19:31Speaker 1: be honest, we're gonna do we talk about terrorf school.
- 19:34Speaker 1: There's not very many times that we get to include
- 19:36Speaker 1: him in some sort of negative categories. So when I
- 19:38Speaker 1: have the chance, I'm going to take advantage of it.
- 19:41Speaker 1: And he'll still be a front of the show after this,
- 19:44Speaker 1: but you know, the optics of the World Baseball Classic thing,
- 19:47Speaker 1: and then you know, he gave up two runs today,
- 19:49Speaker 1: so stock Down, Trek Schooble, I won't be able to
- 19:51Speaker 1: do this again, so I gotta take advantage.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Yeah, if that's stock dips at all, I would be
- 19:56Speaker 2: buying it. No, where's here, He'll be fine.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Uh, let's go to you know, this is under the
- 20:05Speaker 1: category of ask and you shall receive. I had mentioned
- 20:10Speaker 1: that I wanted to see like a couple, Like, oh yeah,
- 20:13Speaker 1: that's Matt Vierling like plays and we got him this week.
- 20:18Speaker 1: You know, he's he seems like he is like, you know,
- 20:22Speaker 1: not like great analysis here, but it looks like Matt
- 20:24Speaker 1: vierlely like he looks like Maddy V. The player that
- 20:27Speaker 1: we love, the player that's so useful. He's doing it,
- 20:30Speaker 1: you know, doing at the plate and then you know,
- 20:32Speaker 1: threw a guy out at home. I'm kind of like
- 20:35Speaker 1: a you know, like I would say, like a heads
- 20:37Speaker 1: he play and a great throw for you know, to
- 20:39Speaker 1: to take advantage of the situation there. And so yeah,
- 20:42Speaker 1: I mean, like like Maddy V. Easy to forget how
- 20:47Speaker 1: valuable he was in twenty twenty four. And if you
- 20:49Speaker 1: can get something like that, I think it really does
- 20:53Speaker 1: change the complexion of this team.
- 20:54Speaker 3: So suck up, Maddy V.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you would said a couple episodes ago,
- 20:59Speaker 2: like it'd be nice to have some feel good moments
- 21:00Speaker 2: from some of these guys, even though it's just spring training,
- 21:03Speaker 2: Like it'd be nice. And in terms of guys who
- 21:06Speaker 2: are sure things on the major league roster, we still
- 21:08Speaker 2: haven't had a ton of those. We've got a couple
- 21:10Speaker 2: from Matt Vierling. We'll talk about Riley Green. We got
- 21:13Speaker 2: some of that. So that was good to see. I
- 21:15Speaker 2: think especially important for a guy like Vierling who missed
- 21:19Speaker 2: so much time last year to get back in the
- 21:22Speaker 2: swing of things. Look natural, look like himself, is encouraging.
- 21:26Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll see some moments from other guys as
- 21:28Speaker 2: camp goes along, because you're you know, I was thinking
- 21:31Speaker 2: about it more like you can't read too much into
- 21:33Speaker 2: spring straining performance and all that, but especially after the
- 21:37Speaker 2: way last year ended, I think I think you just
- 21:39Speaker 2: want to have a good taste in your mouth. You
- 21:42Speaker 2: want to see some of these guys look comfortable, look confident.
- 21:44Speaker 2: So Matt Vierling's high on that list, and it's good
- 21:47Speaker 2: to see him kind of check some of those boxes
- 21:49Speaker 2: here early.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Absolutely, let's let's go. Let's go with Max Clark. Like, look,
- 21:58Speaker 1: we talked a lot about like the Max Clark situation.
- 22:01Speaker 1: We had Austin's perspective on it, and like I'm obviously
- 22:06Speaker 1: not in the you know, talk about selling I'm not
- 22:08Speaker 1: selling any Max Clark stock.
- 22:11Speaker 3: But when you have a.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Game that where you essentially have two errors in the
- 22:16Speaker 1: same ending in the outfield, and then all this kind
- 22:19Speaker 1: of like Max clarky type conversations keep coming up. I
- 22:23Speaker 1: just feel like you can't necessarily say it's a stock up,
- 22:26Speaker 1: you know, so just you know, stock down from Max Clark,
- 22:29Speaker 1: Like he hasn't like he you know, all those things
- 22:32Speaker 1: we said about McGonagall, Like Max Clark is obviously doing
- 22:35Speaker 1: like everything that's asked, but he hasn't had any like
- 22:38Speaker 1: wow moments, and we know that he's capable of it.
- 22:41Speaker 1: I'm sure there will be several by the time spring
- 22:44Speaker 1: training is over. But he had like the worst ending
- 22:49Speaker 1: of his professional career, I'm guessing, so you have to
- 22:52Speaker 1: go stock down.
- 22:53Speaker 2: Yeah, be nice to see Max have a kind of
- 22:56Speaker 2: a big moment maybe to just erase the lingering memory
- 23:00Speaker 2: of you know, a bad inning he had. Yeah, not
- 23:03Speaker 2: really worried about it here, but it is just such
- 23:05Speaker 2: an interesting like, if he's getting this much flak from
- 23:08Speaker 2: the outside for something that happened in a spring training game,
- 23:12Speaker 2: that is probably a preview of things to come in
- 23:15Speaker 2: the Max Clark experience, for better or for worse. I
- 23:18Speaker 2: think it's gonna be really interesting to follow, all right, you.
- 23:25Speaker 1: Know, speaking of being yourself stock up Jack flaherity.
- 23:29Speaker 2: For Jack and Max with the tweets man.
- 23:37Speaker 1: In case you guys didn't see it and are listening
- 23:40Speaker 1: instead of watching this episode. Jack Flaherty tweeted, you guys
- 23:43Speaker 1: are so ridiculous, ridiculous. Sorry, I don't pitch well for
- 23:47Speaker 1: you guys. These are all their own paragraphs. By the way,
- 23:50Speaker 1: my bad for having some fun with a bad challenge.
- 23:53Speaker 2: He was quote an Orioles fan, you know Flaerty's a
- 23:56Speaker 2: couple of months with the Orioles where disasters stared down
- 24:01Speaker 2: a prospect after a bad challenge. Whatever, guess find I
- 24:08Speaker 2: think it probably wasn't in good fun in the moment.
- 24:10Speaker 2: I think Jack probably was actually a little salty about it.
- 24:13Speaker 2: But hey, he was right, So I think he can
- 24:17Speaker 2: act that way if he wants, fine by me.
- 24:19Speaker 1: Look, if you want to come swim with the big boys,
- 24:22Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta know what that entail. So if
- 24:24Speaker 1: you make a bad challenge like they're gonna let you
- 24:26Speaker 1: know about, there's nothing wrong with that.
- 24:27Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with that at all.
- 24:29Speaker 1: It's you know, that's again I bring up Austin again,
- 24:32Speaker 1: Like I think Austin had been fired up about that
- 24:34Speaker 1: from both sides, like from the hitter side, and then
- 24:36Speaker 1: you know seen his picture do that, so uh, look,
- 24:39Speaker 1: it's a game and it means something.
- 24:41Speaker 2: All right, we probably just get off Twitter, though, Like
- 24:43Speaker 2: you're not, You're not doing yourself any good by seeing
- 24:47Speaker 2: who's mad at you for staring down a prospect in
- 24:49Speaker 2: the spring training game.
- 24:50Speaker 1: Come on, good advice for everybody as well. There, So
- 24:58Speaker 1: let's let's keep stuck up. Drew Anderson. So I was
- 25:00Speaker 1: actually I had the stock Cody. I was, like, you know,
- 25:04Speaker 1: had the Tigers offseason that ended with like the Fromber
- 25:08Speaker 1: edition and the Verlander edition, and we were like having
- 25:11Speaker 1: like real Drew Anderson conversations about like, man, he's really
- 25:17Speaker 1: going to be one of your five and you know,
- 25:18Speaker 1: how do you feel about that?
- 25:19Speaker 3: And like and then how.
- 25:21Speaker 1: He's pitched so far, like he would be maybe the
- 25:25Speaker 1: hype man of spring training without Fromber and JV being
- 25:28Speaker 1: here and kind of pushing him to an expected bullpen
- 25:31Speaker 1: roll because he's looked good, Like he looks like like
- 25:35Speaker 1: he looks like man, that front office, those those guys
- 25:38Speaker 1: you know, identify talent, don't they Like like he's been
- 25:42Speaker 1: the hype has been taken away from him, like based
- 25:45Speaker 1: on how he's been pitching.
- 25:47Speaker 2: Yeah, couldn't be more impressed. Did not think I would
- 25:51Speaker 2: be as impressed as I have been. But Fastball averaged
- 25:54Speaker 2: ninety five in his most recent start. Change up looked nasty,
- 25:59Speaker 2: miss having bats, got a few punch outs. I like,
- 26:04Speaker 2: really impressive. Right now, now, it's like, Okay, this guy's
- 26:07Speaker 2: probably gonna start the season in your bullpen. Like you
- 26:10Speaker 2: can live with that. The shapes are there. Again, when
- 26:13Speaker 2: he's facing elite lineups, you know, will it be different.
- 26:18Speaker 2: We've seen guys come out and have very good springs
- 26:21Speaker 2: before and then it just doesn't translate to the regular season.
- 26:25Speaker 2: So he certainly has a lot more to prove, but
- 26:28Speaker 2: off to a pretty good start. I think everyone is
- 26:31Speaker 2: a little bit pleasantly surprised that not only does he
- 26:34Speaker 2: look capable of pitching the major leagues right now, he
- 26:37Speaker 2: looks really nasty.
- 26:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 26:41Speaker 1: Again, something that kind of gives you a thought of,
- 26:44Speaker 1: like what the possibilities of how this guy could be used, Like,
- 26:48Speaker 1: seems like it could could be pretty fun, pretty fun
- 26:50Speaker 1: to follow. Let's go with like Riley Green here stock
- 26:55Speaker 1: up as well. Riley Green had an RBI double today
- 26:58Speaker 1: and also he's got three walks in spring training. So
- 27:03Speaker 1: like the conversations about Riley Green, I was even listening
- 27:06Speaker 1: to Dan Dickerson and Chris mccowski on the radio today
- 27:10Speaker 1: and just like the way they're talking about Riley Green,
- 27:13Speaker 1: and it's like, we just don't have the ability to
- 27:17Speaker 1: properly talk about Riley Green. By the way, President Company included, like,
- 27:20Speaker 1: like we just as a collective do not have the
- 27:22Speaker 1: ability to properly talk about him because anything that you
- 27:26Speaker 1: say great, you bring up this, like you know, the
- 27:28Speaker 1: strikeout thing to get you know, drags him down or
- 27:30Speaker 1: even sometimes helf. But like if you harp on that
- 27:33Speaker 1: too much, it's like, Okay, well he was a silver slugger,
- 27:35Speaker 1: he had thirty six home runs, he started the All
- 27:37Speaker 1: Star Game, he's a two time All Star.
- 27:39Speaker 3: Like, you know, what are we talking about here?
- 27:41Speaker 1: But patient at the plate had a timely hit today,
- 27:44Speaker 1: sock Riley Green.
- 27:46Speaker 2: I thought we talked about him really well a couple
- 27:48Speaker 2: of weeks ago when we kind of did our first
- 27:50Speaker 2: big Riley Green conversation. I thought it was deep and
- 27:53Speaker 2: nuanced and talked about the good and the bad, and
- 27:56Speaker 2: people were still mad at us. So that just goes
- 27:59Speaker 2: to prove the point. Round of applause for Riley Green
- 28:03Speaker 2: taking a few walks a little inside out OPO double
- 28:06Speaker 2: good work. I think, you know, putting some actions behind
- 28:09Speaker 2: the words and having a more patient approach is great.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Probably a little easier to do that in Lakeland versus
- 28:17Speaker 2: you're playing in front of thirty five thousand people and
- 28:19Speaker 2: there's a runner on base and it's loud and the
- 28:21Speaker 2: juices are really flowing. But that approach starts here. So
- 28:26Speaker 2: good job so far, Riley. We'll love to see it.
- 28:31Speaker 1: Something you hate to see stock down Jake Rogers. He's
- 28:33Speaker 1: over two on ABS challenges, so you know, I'm not
- 28:36Speaker 1: a good start. Yeah, it doesn't know, you know, talk
- 28:39Speaker 1: about controlling the strike zone, they don't catch it doesn't
- 28:41Speaker 1: even know the strike zone.
- 28:41Speaker 3: So over two.
- 28:44Speaker 2: How stat cast is going to be tracking you know,
- 28:46Speaker 2: people's challenge record and percentage throughout the year. Some guys
- 28:50Speaker 2: are really going to get roasted on that, but both
- 28:53Speaker 2: internally and publicly. Let's hope Jake's challenge percentage improves by
- 28:59Speaker 2: the regulation.
- 29:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Let's go with Emanuel DeJesus, another one of these guys
- 29:06Speaker 1: that like, you know, we're obviously we're fresh. He had
- 29:09Speaker 1: seven strikeouts today and so in three endings of work
- 29:13Speaker 1: today he became the team leader in strikeouts so far
- 29:16Speaker 1: in spring training. Just just getting over Drew Anderson. Another
- 29:22Speaker 1: guy that's interesting and they'll be interesting to follow and see,
- 29:25Speaker 1: like what his usage will be, but one that I
- 29:30Speaker 1: would say, don't be surprised if he is an impactful
- 29:33Speaker 1: guy in some fashion this season.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Yeah. I think just the fact he's a left he
- 29:37Speaker 2: is gonna put him in this mix. He was someone
- 29:40Speaker 2: the Tigers had kind of talked up and we're talking
- 29:44Speaker 2: highly of early in camp. I watched him in live
- 29:47Speaker 2: vps in his first couple of spring games. I'm gonna
- 29:49Speaker 2: be honest, I was like, I mean, I'm not really
- 29:51Speaker 2: seeing it for a guy who supposedly built up having
- 29:54Speaker 2: played in winter ball. But a reminder that spring is long.
- 29:58Speaker 2: And that's why I'm not overreacting positively or negatively to
- 30:01Speaker 2: any of these things we're talking about. Because then he
- 30:03Speaker 2: goes out and out of nowhere booms seven punchies, fourteen,
- 30:07Speaker 2: swing and miss. He has three different four different pitches working.
- 30:12Speaker 2: Wasn't exactly facing murderers row late there in that game,
- 30:16Speaker 2: but clearly the shapes were working. Clearly hitters weren't uncomfortable.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Certainly of all these non roster guys. I think him
- 30:23Speaker 2: and Cole Waits might be kind of the most intriguing,
- 30:27Speaker 2: or I get the sense the Tigers are most interested in,
- 30:30Speaker 2: So let's keep more of an eye on in Manuel DeJesus,
- 30:33Speaker 2: No doubt.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Is it worth keeping an eye on Corey Jolks, who
- 30:42Speaker 1: as I look at the stats right now, he's got
- 30:45Speaker 1: a couple homrhns glin a grand slam, leads the team
- 30:47Speaker 1: and Ribby's I think he's got triple.
- 30:50Speaker 3: Too, right, Yes he does.
- 30:53Speaker 1: So. Look he's a thirty year old, out right handed
- 30:56Speaker 1: hitting outfielder. He might be the early candidate for Camp Darling,
- 31:04Speaker 1: Like you know, mcgonagall's gonna get that probably on a pole,
- 31:07Speaker 1: a straw pole. But you know he's number two prospect
- 31:11Speaker 1: in baseball. Where's the fun in that being a Camp Darling?
- 31:13Speaker 1: Corey jokes, I mean, has has the has the opportunity
- 31:17Speaker 1: in front of him to kind of be like the
- 31:18Speaker 1: twenty twenty six like Spring Train MVP, where it's like,
- 31:21Speaker 1: what what is this?
- 31:22Speaker 2: You know?
- 31:23Speaker 3: And look, he's been fun to.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Watch and focus a lot on some of these younger guys,
- 31:27Speaker 2: Trey Cruz, Eduardo Valencia, Max Anderson, how you Lee is
- 31:31Speaker 2: being like guys who could push for the roster, but
- 31:34Speaker 2: there can always be other surprises, and right now it's
- 31:37Speaker 2: Corey Joelkes. He's kind of this year's version of Jami Jones.
- 31:42Speaker 2: The problem is Jami Jones exists on the roster this
- 31:46Speaker 2: year as constructed right now, jolkes path to the roster
- 31:51Speaker 2: is pretty tough. It's going to require an injury, maybe
- 31:54Speaker 2: multiple injuries to outfielders, I would think. But he's certainly
- 31:58Speaker 2: making a good impression, probably a little more defensively useful
- 32:03Speaker 2: than Jami.
- 32:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 32:04Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna unseat Jami Jones or anything
- 32:07Speaker 2: like that, but you want to get yourself on the radar,
- 32:10Speaker 2: this is one way to do it. I think, you know,
- 32:12Speaker 2: we'll keep an eye on what happens. Joke's putting himself
- 32:15Speaker 2: in this conversation, and even if it's not right now,
- 32:18Speaker 2: a guy has the skill set, you could see him
- 32:21Speaker 2: getting a call at some point this season if an
- 32:23Speaker 2: opportunity presents itself.
- 32:27Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think he's gonna be a guy that.
- 32:31Speaker 1: Like aj trust, you know, obviously with age and you
- 32:34Speaker 1: know he's you know, been been through the big league
- 32:37Speaker 1: ringer and I think that's something on the quiet.
- 32:40Speaker 2: Professional guy tried to talk to him after his first homer,
- 32:42Speaker 2: and you know, he just wasn't gonna say much. He's like, yeah,
- 32:46Speaker 2: you know, I thought there's an opportunity here here to
- 32:48Speaker 2: work hard, see what I can do. I kind of
- 32:51Speaker 2: like it. You know, seems seems serious, seems to know
- 32:54Speaker 2: what his role here is, and it seems to be
- 32:57Speaker 2: about having what it takes and be ready if his
- 33:00Speaker 2: name ever gets called.
- 33:03Speaker 1: Well, some guys that you know, like sort of like
- 33:06Speaker 1: the I would call him like core, like the core prospects,
- 33:11Speaker 1: like not the top obviously not the Clark in McGonagall,
- 33:13Speaker 1: but like the you know, like the Lee's and the
- 33:15Speaker 1: Anderson's that that you mentioned. Even Loronzo to a certain extent,
- 33:19Speaker 1: will get in there. I feel like all of them
- 33:20Speaker 1: kind of had moments here. So if you're again, if
- 33:22Speaker 1: you're looking for like how deep really is the farm? Uh,
- 33:27Speaker 1: these are some guys that like have at least shown
- 33:29Speaker 1: the ability to like kind of hold their weight to
- 33:31Speaker 1: this point in spring training.
- 33:34Speaker 3: And even you know you mentioned Valencia, you know he's
- 33:36Speaker 3: had moments too.
- 33:37Speaker 1: I mean, all these guys that you're kind of looking for,
- 33:39Speaker 1: you got to give stock up because like they have
- 33:43Speaker 1: shown like like a fit to be where they're like
- 33:46Speaker 1: there's a they're where they're supposed to be, and they
- 33:48Speaker 1: played like it, I guess is the way I would
- 33:49Speaker 1: phrase it.
- 33:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Loronzo in particular is worth talking about
- 33:53Speaker 2: a little bit, just because he had a bad year
- 33:56Speaker 2: and it seemed like his stock was really down entering
- 33:58Speaker 2: this camp. He shows up having lost what thirty thirty
- 34:02Speaker 2: five pounds, looks completely different. Again, There's some things in
- 34:07Speaker 2: the swing, like timing wise, I'm a little worried how's
- 34:10Speaker 2: he going to handle ninety eight every day? But for
- 34:13Speaker 2: right now, you know, behind the plate, he's certainly not
- 34:18Speaker 2: the most gifted receiver I've ever watched. But to see
- 34:21Speaker 2: him do some things the arm is real, we know
- 34:24Speaker 2: there is ability in that bat. To see him come out,
- 34:27Speaker 2: look comfortable, do some good things early, I think is
- 34:30Speaker 2: a good sign for someone who kind of needs to
- 34:33Speaker 2: reassert themselves and have a little bit of a stock up,
- 34:36Speaker 2: you know, for the entire season.
- 34:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think like all these guys, you know,
- 34:42Speaker 1: the catcher prospects, the Tigers, you know, love the hole
- 34:45Speaker 1: onto for for obvious reasons like the amount of work
- 34:50Speaker 1: that they get by just kind of being here, and
- 34:53Speaker 1: the ability to like almost get like extra like extra
- 34:58Speaker 1: time in just because you're you know, you might not
- 35:00Speaker 1: end up being a catcher, but you're gonna be at
- 35:02Speaker 1: spring train a week early.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're gonna get some fascinating because he can
- 35:08Speaker 2: really hit. Other than McGonagall, he might, you know, have
- 35:10Speaker 2: the best hitting ability of this whole bunch, but I don't.
- 35:14Speaker 2: He's a big boy man. I don't know if he's
- 35:16Speaker 2: going to be a catcher. He doesn't even really move
- 35:18Speaker 2: well at first base. I don't know what that looks like.
- 35:22Speaker 2: So I think the dude can hit. But if you know,
- 35:26Speaker 2: the way he moves now probably isn't going to get
- 35:29Speaker 2: better as he probably is still growing and he gets
- 35:32Speaker 2: a little older. I know a couple of scouts who
- 35:35Speaker 2: are like really worried about that with him, But then
- 35:37Speaker 2: you watch him swing it. You know, he hits the
- 35:39Speaker 2: ball hard all the time. I'm not sure what player
- 35:43Speaker 2: he's going to one day look like at the major
- 35:45Speaker 2: league level. And I don't know if that's a good thing,
- 35:48Speaker 2: a bad thing, whatever, But yeah, that's just kind of
- 35:52Speaker 2: been a thought that's entered my mind a couple of times.
- 35:55Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean it's.
- 35:59Speaker 1: It's fun to see like some bounce back guys like
- 36:01Speaker 1: Theronzo and and then guys you know, getting their first opportunities.
- 36:05Speaker 3: That's what spring Train's all about.
- 36:06Speaker 1: So like, you know, like like what I looked for
- 36:09Speaker 1: when I did this list was like moment stuff, like
- 36:12Speaker 1: moments that could you know, show us something down the
- 36:14Speaker 1: road or or you know, maybe not.
- 36:16Speaker 2: Moments that we will all forget about in a month.
- 36:20Speaker 1: Right, but but that But now we get to do
- 36:22Speaker 1: it on a podcast, so it's on records, so we
- 36:24Speaker 1: can always go back and see if we were right
- 36:26Speaker 1: or if we were wrong.
- 36:27Speaker 2: We probably should not go back through past spring training podcast.
- 36:32Speaker 2: I know there were some bad some bad takes in there.
- 36:37Speaker 1: Oh man, any other good or bad takes you want
- 36:40Speaker 1: to get in Cody before we jet.
- 36:41Speaker 3: Out of here.
- 36:42Speaker 2: I think that covers it all for now. We will
- 36:44Speaker 2: be back. We'll have some updates from the Dominican. We're
- 36:47Speaker 2: kind of getting into the thick of camp here. We've
- 36:49Speaker 2: already seen them them thinning out the locker room a
- 36:52Speaker 2: little bit. Tym Madden among others have already been you know,
- 36:57Speaker 2: sent out of the Big League clubhouse, and we'll see
- 37:00Speaker 2: some more of that. We're gonna start to see things
- 37:02Speaker 2: get a little more serious here in the next week
- 37:05Speaker 2: or two, I think, and.
- 37:07Speaker 3: Looking forward to covering it all.
