  Speaker 1: So savior drama for someone else that cares. But don't
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: call me out when I'm right. Okay, you want to
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: call me out when I'm wrong, I'm fine with it. I'll
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: do with it, but don't call me out when I'm right.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: What a day. We're doing new things in the FT Network.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: So two things. One last night we had the Kratz
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: not invited Yankees Diamondbacks game that we ran on playback
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: and it was great. We did an all cast cam
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: abn was on, Derek Lewandowski also Jesse Friedman. Will do
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: more of those one a week. But Kratz, I promise
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: invite coming soon and AJ you'll like this. I believe
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: this was our first ever owner interview under the FT Network.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Thirty minutes ago. John Middleton was live i'd Citizens Bank
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Park on the Philly Show. We'll show some clips from
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: it later on, but we speak pretty highly of him
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: as someone who represents the game and the ownership voice
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: really well. They should have him do like all of
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the press. I listened to the full thing. Not only
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: is he just really good, well spoken and passionate about ball,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: he knows ball. That's the difference too. When you hear
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: him talk about baseball, talk about players, talk about scouting reports,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: talk about pitching, repertoire, et cetera. He knows baseball. So
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: it really helps for anyone like me, a super fan,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: to connect when I hear someone like this who is
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: talking about how this is everything for him, screw the money,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: this is his legacy, and then really going over intricacies
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: of his team, minor league prospects, going over how Roy
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Halliday changed his whole arsenal. He's like going pitch by pitch,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: just really really insightful from him. So I recommend everyone
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: give that one a listen. It's up on their YouTube channels,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: so check it out later.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what you want owners to be, right. You
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: want owners to be involved. Do you want to owners to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: spend money? And you want owners that care. And I
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: think the ones that you see that do that usually
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: do the best. I mean, the Dodgers ownership group is involved.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: They let Andrew Freeman and those guys run the team
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: the way they want to. You look at you know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: use Jim Crane for example, he's involved. The Astros have
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: been successful. The Steine Runners for years were involved, right
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Henry John Henry and his Fenway Sports group finally got
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: back involved, and now there's no chance to be good
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: again because they finally decided, Hey, we're gonna try again
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna spend some money. So it's the owners
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that are disconnected, and we know who they are. We
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: don't have to call him out, you know, in West
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Sacramento or in Pennsylvania, the other Pennsylvania team. But you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. The owners that care, They try,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: They do their best to put the best team on
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the field, or used the teams that have the most success.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've been critical of Henry over the past few years,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: rightfully so. But he actually knows ball too. He looks
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: at it in a different way from the interviews I
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: have heard. He doesn't do as many anymore, but he's
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: more of an analytics guy. Middleton is more of a
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: balanced analytics plus scouting I watch the game, you know,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: without any numbers in front of me kind of guy
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: sometimes too, which I guess you get with the flavor
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: of the front office with someone like David. Anyway, let's
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: get into the lit division in baseball right now. Let's
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: charge charge about holy in l West, not just the Dodgers,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: not just the Padres the Giants too, but let's start
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: with the Dodgers because it was show Hey Bobblehead night,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: AJ There's people lined up for hours and I'm not
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: out there, but I saw this on multiple spots, including
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: ft Twitter, which is the best on the planet. Everyone
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: got a bobble So why are.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: They getting out? They get well because, you know, normally,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think they've read the fine print. Normally it's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: only ten thousands, the first ten thousand, so maybe they
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: wanted to be the first to get it on eBay,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but they gave one to the whole stadium.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: They had how many god bless you, how many over
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: people Dodger Stadium hold, which is like almost sixty thousand
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: or whatever it is, right, so everybody got one. I think,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you know, Joe Davis got one, Oral Hersheiser got one,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Sandy Kofax going Magic Johnson got one. Everybody going right.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So I love this look. I don't know what teams
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: do this, but this is crazy. These people didn't read
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the fine print, man read the fine print, or they
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: knew show he was going to hit a walk off
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and they just wanted to be on foul territory. Twitter.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Oh man, I mean bobbleheads. I just I don't get
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: the craze for bibbleheads. I don't get why you'd stand
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: in line for everybody getting one. But it was just
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, you can't you can't write it any different
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: on a bibblehead night. It's not his first bobblehead. It's
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: not his first walk off. Like the guy's just a
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: doesn't look like show hit at all, by the way,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: but that does look like a softball bat. So I
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: wonder if he's going to be maybe he's gonna be
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: the next torpedo bat guy.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Huh maybe no, somebody, No, you know what those are called?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: You know what those were called back in the day,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: those were called what bottle bats? Weren't they called bottle bats?
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Because when I played little league, Bronson Royal used to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: use when I'd be like, you cheater, right, because Ronson
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Royo played little league. We played in the same little league,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and he used to use a bottle. I thought it
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: was called a bottle bat, and it was like the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: whole thing was had until the handle. And I thought
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: they were mostly you in softball, right, spotball? Yeah? Yeah, yeah?
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And Bronson and Royal used to use one of those
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: when we were like twelve years old with each other,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, you cheater, But I mean I guess
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it wasn't cheating because nobody knew the difference.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Do you know what changed yesterday's game more than anything,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Max Munsey ditching his torpedo bat. He had it hit
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: several abs and then he's like, screw it, I don't
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: like it. And he hits it. Yeah, he hits a
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: gap or double, two strikes, two outs, and ties up
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the game. Of course, it was a dream night for
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Dodger fans. I mean, fifty two thousand plus they all
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: get the bobble. Otani hits the walk off. They're talking
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: about it leading up to it. Dodgers are eight and
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: oh and that passes the nineteen thirty three Yankees for
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: most consecutive wins after a World Series title to start
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the next season. There's that change up heading across the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: plate from mycel Iglesias. For example, if you look at
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that pitch and where it landed, right, it's a change up.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: It's a little bit up. It's you know, it's not
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: over the middle of the plate, but it's coming across
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: the plate. Correct me, If I'm wrong here, right, I'm
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: trying to learn. That's a bad pitch, right, Aja.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: That's a bad pitch, Yeah, Nole's.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I know it's all late, but it's it's coming across
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the plate and change up supposed to be a little lower.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: No, it's a good. That's a good Pitchy doumb balls
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: knee high off the plate away. I mean, I don't
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: know what else you want, Rossy the old guys he
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: used to do craps. Tell me that's a good That's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a not a bad pitch at all. It's a pretty
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: good pitch. It's just a guy who is stronger than
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: most human beings and can go out there and hit
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a ball to left center that carries out at nighttime
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: at Dodger Stadium. And you know what else, Sometimes stuff
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: ain't going right. It just the ball goes over the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: fence when it's not supposed to have a five to
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: nothing lead, and you don't win the game, you know,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: with everything lined up. So sometimes it's just it's just
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: not your season.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Maybe if we're splitting hairs, maybe he wanted it lower.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I get that, but like you can't just you can't
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: just I guess you can pitch around him. But you also,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: there's no cheap home runs at Chavez Ravine at night.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: There's no way you should be able to as a
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: lefty who that ball's going away from him. He's able
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: to take that ball out to center. Maybe if he
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: really dives on that ball and show hey, never dives
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: to the pitch away, he could take it down the
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: left field line.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: But where he hit that.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: That's a joke, like that ball should could it be
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: a little lower, Yes, we're splitting hairs. It was an
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: unbelievable swing.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sliding show, hey, just asking for a
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: little analysis on, you know, what they should have done
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and how they could have pitched him differently, because he
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: still looks like last year's show. Hey, that's the way four.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Fingers I mean, I mean, listen, that was a good pitch.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Listen the hit he wins. Sometimes the hitter wins. Man,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: these guys are good. We used to always say that,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: like you'd strike out and you'd be like, man, I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: don't know, But then you realize these guys are getting
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: paid a lot of money to strike you out, too,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: so they make good pitches sometimes and sometimes pictures would
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: come off the Mountain and crawts. I think would have
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: tested this too. They'd make their pitch and a guy
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: would get a hit, break his bat, throw it over
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the outfielder or whatever, and the pitcher would be like that,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have a bad pitch. You're like, no, but that
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: guy's pretty good too. He can hit and he gets
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: paid to hit the ball, So sometimes these guys are
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: just good.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Yep, ft, fam, I hope you have as much confidence
• 8:24

• 9:17
  Speaker 2: spotan tango dot com fa foul foul. It's been a
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: magical start to the season for the Dodgers. They're going
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: to go through some adversity at some point, I think,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: but they've trailed in six of the eight games. They've
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: got a lot of late offense. They all right, No,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: here's a tweet from Blake Harris, who covers the team.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Despite being eight No, it feels like the Dodgers haven't
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: even been close to playing their best ball yet. Trailed
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: in six of eight starters yet to pitch into the sixth.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: And by the way, Snell gave up five. They were
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: all unearned, but he gave up five. Mookie missed three games,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Freddy has missed five games. He goes, just wait until
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: they start clicking. Also, they were trailing five nothing yesterday
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: aj which reminded some fans of last year's epic World
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Series comeback when they were trailing by five to the Yankees.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Bencus farius I think had the moment of the game,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: top of the sixth bases loaded, no outs, gets them
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: out of the jam. He was hyped. We're covering Dodgers
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: in the NL West here because we're gonna talk Braves
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: later on. We'll get Grant McCauley on to go over
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: how they came up empty here. But I mean, whoo,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: that is a really fun way to go to a ballpark.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: You get a freebie, you get the best player on
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the planet with the walk off, and you get the
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: five nothing comeback.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, what a game. Listen, what a game? I mean,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: what an incredible When it was five to three, they
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: had the bases loaded, the Braves didn't no out. You're like, oh,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: this game they're gonna win and the Dodgers are gonna lose.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: And then the Spirius gets out of it. And then
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: show Hey comes up and Mouncey hits the big double
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: in the eighth off. How important excuse me, Kratz? How
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: important was It didn't quite sneeze, but it was close.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: But how important was this game to the Braves? It
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: was I Glaciers was in in the eighth to phase.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Monsie he was in and there to shut it down
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: for Brian Stickers, they can get that one on their
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: win column, right, A win ah win. Instead, he gave
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: with the double Demonsie. Then he gave up the home
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: run to show Hey. But as soon as the Dodgers
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: tied that game, it was like, Okay, the Dodgers are
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: going to win this game. And then obviously show Hay
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: hits the walk off.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Yep. Exactly. One of our Hammer Territory hosts was like, oh,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: if you think the first six losses were bad, and
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: this was when they were still winning, they were up
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: five to three, and he goes, if you think the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: first six losses were bad, can I interest you in
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: a five nothing comeback loss? Blah blah blah. So anyway,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: let's move to the Padres. I want to get to
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the rest of the division. Here for the next few minutes.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Padres are undefeated too, and they took down the Cleveland Guardians. Krats.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: They're looking really, really good. Jackson Merril signs the extension.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: We talked about it yesterday. He homered right after the extension,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: makes himself a little richer. He was cool in his
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: press conference too. He's like, yeah, I mean, you know
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: your value. You know you could do even more. But
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: it's like I want to be in San Diego. I
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: wanted to get this done now. Also, I mean, it's
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: got a chance to make two hundred plus million dollars.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: I mean two hundred versus three fifty whatever when you're
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: that young in your career. I think the point is
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: he fits in perfectly there. They love him, and this
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: team can crank it on offense. They didn't lose much
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: on offense. I mean, I know they lost some pitching.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Hasan Kim two years ago was a pretty good offensive player.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: He didn't really do much for them last year. Then
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: he got hurt. So their offense looks really good and
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: you still got guys in their prime. Tatis should be
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: in his prime. Jackson Merril already looks like in his
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: prime unless he's going to get even better than this.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: But our rise obviously gives you the contact. What do
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: you think about the Padres high flying, high speed offense,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: like Tatis stealing home here.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: That's one thing they're running. They're running the basis. They're
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: running the basis like they're like they're youthful. And if
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Tatis can run like this, he creates havoc in that
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: in that spot in the lineup. They did lose some offense.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I mean they lost Profars. Profar's bat last year was
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: it was kind of big. And they've easily easily supplemented that.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: They've easily supplemented that, and they are flying high. I
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Mean one of the things we talked about was starting
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: pitching after after a cease, and King didn't really have
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: great outings their first outings. They just came back and
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: they're just like, oh yeah, I'll just kind of jump
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: in line.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And we'll give that.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: We'll give the bullpen a little bit of time off, like,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: and the bullpen's been really carrying them.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: This is a winning team.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you watch teams, you watch them after like something
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: cool happens in the game.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And they're like whatever.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Not these guys, not the Dodgers, like you can tell
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: the they just they're out there. They have a goal
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: in mind and they have confidence. If Jackson Merrill had
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: just waited one more day, he could have been like, Hey,
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I just had another dinger. You gotta give me another
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: million dollars, Like every day I hit a dinger, it's
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: more millions.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Listen, Manny mcnugat's whatever the guys name is in the
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: chat that is the super Padres fans to say we
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: hate the Padres, and he called me out when I
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: said that the Padres are stealing more bases than they
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: did last year. Look at the numbers their meat, because
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the numbers are ridiculous. How much more aggressive they're being
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: on the bases than they were last year. So savior
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: drama for someone else that cares. But don't call me
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: out when I'm right. Okay, you want to call me
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: out when I'm wrong, I'm fine with it. I'll deal
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: with it, but don't call me out when I'm right. Okay.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: They're being ultra aggressive. They don't think they have the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: power that they had last year. But what they're doing
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: pitching wise is what's been carrying the Padres. Look at
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: what they've done pitching wise. And I know the Braves
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: offensive suck, but still their bullpen and their starters have
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: been really good. And then the Guardians who offense is
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: what it is. But still to be seven to zero
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: with the way they've started. They're still in touch with
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. They're going to be in touch with the
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Dodgers all year. I don't know if they can keep
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: it up. They need Darvish back and they need their
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: bullpen to stay healthy. But it's a fun start for
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: one of the best atmospheres in baseball. Had a friend
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: go to the Padres game for the first time on
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Monday and they were like, this is the coolest atmosphere ever.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, it's an amazing atmosphere. What
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the Padres fans have done to Petco in the way
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: it is around the park, So way to go. Padres fans.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Keep it up, and I hope this team keeps it
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: up because I want to see somebody competitive with the
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Dodgers like everyone else.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Hey, j hates the Padres. I can confirm atim. Thank you,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: miss McNugget or whatever your name was.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Grimis all right. So the West is twenty five and seven.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Let's also give love to the other non Rockies teams
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: that care. The Diamondbacks will talk more about later because
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Gallon deserves a few minutes on his own. But the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Giants just swept the Astros. Good for them. I mean,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: the Giants are five and one to start the year.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: It's the best start for them since twenty fourteen. Alex Pavlovich,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: who writes about the Giants for NBC said best start
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: for them in over a decade. But also this division
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: has two teams that are undefeated above them. There you go,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: and that was at the time when they when they swept. Now,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: obviously the Dodgers picked up one more wins, so they're
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: eight No, Padres are seven to no. Giants are five
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: and one. Either of you buying the Giants as a
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: legit playoff team or do you think they're just off
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: to a nice, cute little start. I've got the Diamondbacks
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: ahead of the Giants for sure.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Ajau No, I think there's a nice start. It's good
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: for Buster Posey in his new regime.
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: I want.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I want to see former players succeed in their new roles,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: but I don't think over the long term they can
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: they can keep this up because of the division they're in,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and also because I'm just not sold on their team.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: They're pitching in defense. Can they play defense? Can they
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: pitch the entire season? So they're build on they have
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: some they have an elite arm at the top of
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: their rotation.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Is that going to hold up?
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Because if you get any if you have to fill
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: in for one of those elite defensive pieces with someone
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: who's not elite all of a sudden, it's like it's
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: kind of the chink in the armor. It's kind of
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: that like underbelly off. Are they gonna hit enough? But
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: they're gonna pick it. They stay healthy, they're gonna pick it,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: and they're gonna hang around and that because that plays
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: in San Francisco and they're doing this on the road
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: in Houston. Like it, it plays, it plays. I don't
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: think they're gonna They're gonna fall a little short of
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: the playoffs.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Though. By the way, we're talking about the nl Wes.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Why are we not talking about the Al Central? The
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: White Sox are in first place. I don't know what
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: you guys are looking at, you guys looking to the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: nl Wes. How about the Al Central White Sox are
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in first place at two and four with every other
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: team in the division? Is everyone?
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Exactly exactly?
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Old division is two and four?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Tell everyone we gotta go.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: What do you mean White Sox first place? Playoffs?
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Playoff loss yesterday. We'll get to it. Let's talk about Skeens.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Skeens was good first pitcher since earned runs became an
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: official stat to post a sub to e R one
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five plus case in your first twenty
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: five big league appearances. Also Dennis Santana looking like maybe
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: the new closer for the Pirates instead of Bednar. What
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: are you confused about, Krafts?
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: The game is easy.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: You always you always look for like a dude who's like, ah, man,
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: like he's gonna have a clunker, He's gonna right now.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: And him and Zach Wheeler are two of the hottest
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: pitchers on the planet, and they both pitched yesterday. It's like,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: you just don't see a clunker from Paul Skeens. Nobody's
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: given him that clunker. The last one I remember was
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: that the second time I think the Cubs got to
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: face him, wasn't even really a clunker.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: They just got hits. He has been dominant, true, true,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: And I'm mad. I wanted to go to this game
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: yesterday because it was it was actually goable too for me,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: doable for me because it was in Tampa, but it
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: was on at one o'clock, so I couldn't go and
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: it was too hot. And by the way, he has
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: a better era now if in his big league career,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: by the way, than he did in his college For
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: just saying.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, so the SEC is just different and they
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: are better.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: He hit a two point hit a two point one
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: eight career college e RA as a one point nine
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to two career big league Just that is freaking impressive.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, he has not had any adversity yet.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: It is crazy just saying he's had a better e
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: RA in the big leagues. Maybe they used torpedo bats
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: in l s U when he was you know, an
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: air force in the SEC. I don't know, but I would.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I wanted to go yesterday to go to see him
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: pitch live in Tampa, but you know, this show called
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: feul Territory got in the way, so I couldn't go.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Are you gonna do it live one time?
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: You're gonna take it from a.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Minor league game in Tampa? Are we gonna do a
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: show from Tampa? It's kind of closer for us. Should
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: we doing from the ballpark?
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Did you just say a minor league game? Is? I mean,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: it's like the uh, what's his name, Bob Fisher?
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: What's at a minor league park?
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Ball Fisher? John Fisher said, you know, look at the atmosphere.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: The Cubs in the in the West Sacramento as they're
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: playing in front of fourteen thousand people, they shouldn't be
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: playing in front of fifty thousand people.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Exactly. That's why I ran for a moment. Media has
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: changed a lot in sports. I don't know every other
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: sport as much as I do baseball, of course, in
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: terms of how they deal with the media, but some
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: teams treat it like they're in the way. Some teams
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: are great, they are genuinely great. They provide info, they
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: treat people like people. But in some cases it's like, oh,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: media is here there in the way. But then when
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: they need something promoted, you're getting flooded with press releases.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Oh you should come on or have so and so
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: on to talk about this. So it's just weird the
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: way that handles is handled. And I just feel like,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: if you're a sport, or you're any entertainment platform, you
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: have people, places, outlets covering you, You do not pay them.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: They're they're giving you free promotion. It's free advertising, right.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: They spend millions of dollars on marketing to try and
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: get people to the park and to watch games. You
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: have media. So I'm not saying they have to be
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: your best friends, but you should treat them very respectfully.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Some don't think. Some don't think. So I've heard I've
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: heard it said we don't owe them anything.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Fine, they don't owe you anything. You should disappear. Then
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: then nobody should cover you, and you should disappear. I'm
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: telling you, even the top teams. There are some top
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: teams out there that will say our ratings are down
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: and oh, we should get more coverage, but we're not
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: going to help you with any of that coverage. And
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, do you know this isn't nineteen eighty anymore?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: There are other sports, there are other options. People don't
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: just automatically flip on the TV. There's three channels, and
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: they're like, well, got to watch them, even though nothing's
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: being promoted about them. So I have to ran a little.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I'm part of media for a while. This even goes
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: back to when I worked for MLB. Even with MLB,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: sometimes there would be several teams in particular where You're like,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: do they know that we're on the same team. We're
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: just going to promote them. I don't know. It's weird.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Inside Edge Data Dish, we've got access to some stats,
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: so we're throwing them out there. This one was posted
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: this morning. Kyle Tucker is off to a hot start,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: his slug percentage seven eighty four. He was on a
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: hot start last year too. And AJ that's the other
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: side of this A's Cubs conversation. We just spoke about
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: the A's for a while. The Cubs looked really good.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Was it the ballpark? Was it bad A's pitching? Or
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: do the Cubs have a much better offense now with
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: someone like Tucker as a legit superstar in their lineup?
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: And see Suzuki went off this past weekend too. I
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: think he's going to be way better because he doesn't
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: have to worry about the outfield. He's not a good outfielder.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: But anyway, your thoughts.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: First of all, let's take a little bit of a
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: step back. In seven games, or they've actually played eight games.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I think it is nine games, So let's take a
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: little bit of a step back. It's a small sample size.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: A Scott's best friend on another channel, I used to say,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: but let's understand that Kyle Tucker's gonna help their offense.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: But they also haven't played in Wrigley yet, where it's
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: going to be freezing and the Win's gonna be blowing
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: in for two months, so let's get get back to
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: me in about June before it warms up. You know,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: they played in Tokyo, they didn't score a bunch of
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: runs in Tokyo. Then they went to where Arizona I
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: think to start, which is a good place to hit,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: and then they went to Sacramento, where it's a great
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: place to hit. And listen, Kyle Tucker's a really good player.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Is he gonna slick seven eighty four? Probably not, but
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: he's a great player when he's healthy. So let's take
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: a little bit of a step back. But he's only
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: fifth in the NL. It's like he's first in the NL,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: so let's also take a step back.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, let's think about the last few years. Who
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: is the anchor of that lineup, the one year when
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Cody Belnder did what he did. He has a couple
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: MVP finishes you're talking about. Kyle Tucker is an MVP
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: candidate and he's doing that so far, so that's great.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: This lineup has has a lot of pieces at the
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: top of it. Can the rest of the guys. Carson
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Kelly's probably not going to hit for the cycle ever,
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: again this season. But who knew that he was going
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: to hit for it then? But you sit there and
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: you go, is this lineup going to be good enough
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: to be able to withstand what's gonna happen when you
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: go back to Wrigley and you don't have those balls
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: flying out? You don't have a consistent a consistent weather
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: like the Is a lineup going to be good enough
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: to scratch runs out? I love Ian Happit at the
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: top of their lineup gets on base and the other
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: guys drive him in. How are they going to sustain
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: the success that they've had so far to start the season.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Let's there's a few teams where you go, whoa, this
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: is a really good team. A few teams that are
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: have a hot start. You go, okay, pump the brakes
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: a little bit. Let's let's just wait and see. I'm
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: there a wait and see team for me.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, one more inside edge note Juan Soto on non fastballs.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: The swing percentage is fourteen percent, lowest in baseball. Mets,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: by the way, picked up an extra innings when which
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Mets fans felt pretty good about yesterday. Because you don't
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: want to lose a series early on to the Marlins
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: when you just had the offseason that you had. But anyway,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: anything to read into here, AJ.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: That wasn't it's not pissed poor hitting by one Soto.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I know that. Oh want so sorry too soon, guys,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know what I'm no not.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I love it. We can explain it.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Mike, Yeah, Mike moment he's like, uh, what they say
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: they they didn't score an extra innings. He's like, that's
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: just pissed poor hitting. And the mic caught him because
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: but it only so here's the thing you have to
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: understand it only I think caught him on the app.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: It's the same way Tom Brenneman got in trouble for
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: what he said, which what he said we obviously you
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: shouldn't say anyways, but the app comes back sooner than
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the actual camera. So Scott, you know this from doing
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: the games and crats you probably know this from doing radio.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: In your ear, the producer's like, all right, we're back
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: in five four three two, and that's the TV feed,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: but the MLB dot TV feed comes back a few
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: seconds earlier, so you kind of got to give it
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: like a ten second buffer window. There with say anything.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: But I thought it was hilarious that you know, Keith
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: is like, yeah, it's pissed poor hitting, which it was.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: But the midst the one, and Polar Bear was a
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: huge homeer. Dude, he's in balls to center and right
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: center in Miami. That's not supposed to have.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Happ Dude, Polar Bear is gonna just have this sneaky
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: monster year. Now. Nobody's talking about him nationally yet until
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: he starts racking up you know, homers and gets to
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the top of the list. But anyway, that is true Kratz.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: For me, what I learned when I was calling games
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: consistently was you put the headset on. You're on right
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: obviously that you're on a record so people can hear,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: but even once step further is that often through the app,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: it's not only when you're coming back, but also often
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: when you go to break, it doesn't get turned off
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: right away. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: probably maybe someone has to do it manually. But you're on,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: so we knew that hot Mike.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Hot Mike.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: That's what they tell you. It's hot Mike. Don't even
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: like when you hit your cough button. When you hit
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: your cough button. Don't even like just it's a hot mic.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: That's that's what you need to know. What's also hot
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: about that stat? And I was going to say, Pete Statt,
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: he hit three balls yesterday at one hundred and thirteen
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: miles per hour or or harder like he was smashing
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: the ball, and what AJ said to hit it where
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: he was hitting it in. While Marlin's Park isn't what
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: it used to be, it used to be farther. Those
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: are bombs. But Wan Soto that fourteen percent on non
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: fast he doesn't even swing at non fastballs. As a catcher,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: I go, hey, you know what, you get a free strike,
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: you're down one to zero. Drop a curveball in for
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: a strike. Doesn't even need to be a really good pitch,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Just drop the curveball in. The dude just smashes fastballs
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: and he doesn't chase out of his own So I
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: like that stat. That's a good stat for pitchers who
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: are like, how do I get one Soto out?
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Exactly why we're going to do more of this and
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: ask you guys about this. Get the catcher perspective, all right,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: deep breath for the twins and the Brewers. They were
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: winless a few days ago. They've both won a couple
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: of games in a row. Everyone, okay, well, are you
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: not supposed to be making sure making sure?
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I mean it's not okay Rosenthal's World Series pick with
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the Braves. I don't know if we're going to get
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: to that. I don't know wh whatever picked the Braves
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: to win the World Series. I mean, I couldn'tname another person.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Can't do it this way. Who didn't you pick the
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Braves to win the World Series.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to talk about the power, miss I misremembered.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Wow, all right, well anyway, yes, we will get to
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: the Braves with Grant McCauley. The Brewers had a nice
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: pick me up these last couple of games after getting
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: beat up by the Royals. I think it was eleven
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: to one in the first game of the series. They
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: really held him down. Freddy Peralta was the stopper yesterday too, well,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: not the stopper they had won the day before, but
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: eight innings for him, and then you know, they came back.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: They ended up winning an extra's cheerio looked really good
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: yesterday and then Baters had uh homers and back to
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: back games for the Twinkies. White Sox offense was pretty
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: quiet the last couple of games. You gotta beat the
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: White Sox, the three the Twins, that's your one gimme
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: in the division A j earmups, but it's true. One
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: more shout out, actually I want to do because we
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: won't have time for this. But Evon Horrera had three
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: homers yesterday for the Cardinals.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Far far homers.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Far pulled the crap out of them. All different pitches
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: to two were from Kiku g I think one was
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: a breaker, one was maybe a change up and then
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: and then a heater late in the game. All lefties,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: all lefties. That's cool.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: Big macklan, he was just Pepper and Big Maclan. It
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: was I mean, he was pimping on him.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: He was.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: He had a going yesterday. And you know he's the
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: first Cardinals catcher to ever hit three home runs in
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: a game. Yes, that I did not believe that when
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: they said that on the on the telecast.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Yadi was their catcher for the last hundred years and
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: if he didn't have a three homer game, I guess,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: That's that's crazy, that's crazy to think history. Yeah, I didn't.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't even have a three hundred three homer game
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: as a cardinal. They would have taken out before Yeah,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: oh easy. If I would have, I could had I
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: could have been three for three with three homers. It's
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: a fifth inning. Mike Mathene would have been like, you're
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: doing too good. Let's get you out. We need him
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: back in.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: You would have gotten out of you, you know.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Just too It was funny, Scott, that was my limit.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Better than box scores. This series is continuing already right now,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: so we'll talk about it in two ways. Yesterday, Garrett
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Crochet's first start after getting a lot of money was
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: super successful and eight innings because you don't need to
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: have any kid gloves anymore. You've got him locked in.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: He can just eat no runs, four hits, eight k's,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: one walk against the very good Baltimore Orioles offense. Team
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: wins yesterday, and they're right now beating Charlie Moore in
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: and the Oriols more than last. I checked at like
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: seven k's and I think four innings, but they've got
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: a couple homers off them. Christian Gamble, the newly Richer,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: Christian Campbell, and who else homered so far today Bregman,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: first homer for Bregman, right, Reggie baumb Yeah, Boston's gonna
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: be good. I slapped a little money on.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: This win the division, some of them, some of us
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: picked him to win the division.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying many of us did. Actually I here.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Talking about the past Crochet.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: I was surprised that he did this well right after
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: the extension. I remember when Cole Hamil's got his extension
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: from the Phillies.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: It was like, Oh, is he going to be traded?
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Is he not?
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: They made him get a MRI. I guess which is
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: the one where they shoot the die in your shoulder.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: I think that's an MRI. But anyway, they shot it
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: in there and he had a start two days after
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: and it was kind of a clunker, and I remember
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: him being before the game like, oh man, that die
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: is still killing me. So I'm like, you know, they
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: did a physical for you know, they did a physical
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: for Crochet to be able to lock in that much
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: money for him. Maybe they didn't, or maybe he's a
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: cyborg and that kind of stuff doesn't hurt him.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Or he was already coming off of a spring training
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: physical and they already had it and they didn't need
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: to do it again. That also could be that it's
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: not that. Maybe maybe it's close enough. Yeah, I don't know.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: But you know who else is pitching really well today?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: And I know this is Pods. Will hear it later.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: But Kratz's guy who he said was not gonna have
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: a good year, Taiwan Walker, and he's out there just
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: shoving against the Rockies. So he's got here we are.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, I said Kratz. Yeah he didn't put
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: that out there.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: You didn't say that. Pretty sure.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: No, his his his velo was up all spring two
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: to three miles an hour, which gives him more separation
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: from his splitter, Olive.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Philly hates him. Olive Philly does not want Taiwan Walker
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: out there. That is, that is for sure. I can
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: hear that on the radio, and my radio is not
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: even on right now.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: You know who Philly wants. They want Spencer Turnbull back.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: I can't believe he's still a free agent. He's still
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: just chucking. I think at the Boris facility in Marcot, Tanasio,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: the brewers own apparently said I think yesterday that they
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: were still having some combos about a Boris Client a pitcher, like,
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: it's definitely him. People were joking there, like it's either
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: him or Joey Gallo. I think it's Turnbull. But anyway,
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Boston looked good yesterday. That looked good so far today.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: On the other side, I know I'm the down guy
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: on the Orioles, but when I was on Oriols Radio
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: two days ago, they were like thoughts on Chicano and
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: more in I'm like, well, Chicano, I think got one
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: strikeout and I'm not swinging missing his first outing. I
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm very concerned that Charlie Morion could show
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: that this is his last year Adam wayIn Wright style,
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: and so far today again he's got punch outs, but
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: this is another clunker outing for him so far. So
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: they're gonna need to figure out better starting pitching to
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: keep up.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I'll be very interested than any Grayson back obviously. Yeah,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: I'll be very interested to see how Chicano does because
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: I I talked to some money that played with him
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: in Japan. I forget who it was, but they said
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: just just watch him because he's They didn't think that
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: his stuff or saw them. I don't know if they
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: saw him in Japan or played with I don't know,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: somebody that knew him from Japan, and they said, just
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: just watch him, because I'm not sold that his game
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: translates to the Major League Baseball game. And sometimes that happens.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: It works over there, it doesn't work over here. Sometimes
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: it's vice versa. Guys work over there and they don't
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: work over here. You know, so they work over here
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: and they don't work over there. So it'll be interesting
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: to see how he does over one hundred and sixty
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: two game season.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: A lot of teams weren't into him. Several years ago,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of teams weren't into him, so he pulled
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: back right he was going to get posted, and then
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: he was like, all right, never mind, there's not enough
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: interest here. So we'll see what happens. Let's move to
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: the Diamondbacks taking down the Yankees again and the Catel
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Marte extension. He had years to go Kratz, but they
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: just added more years on. So now he could be
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: signed up through twenty thirty one. If he takes a
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: player option for eleven and a half mil during that year,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: they're essentially locking him up for life. Why not? I mean,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: he was an MVP candidate for most of last year
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: until injury bug hit him a little bit late, but
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: he was what finished third I think for MVP, I
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: think it was Otani Lindor and then Katel Marte. He's
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: one of the best players in the National League, and
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: nowadays that kind of money on an extension looks like
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: nothing there there were years locked in already, so you're
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: just tacking on more on top. But this is a
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: no brainer.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: I realized he was there since twenty seventeen. I knew
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: he was at the Mariners. They traded him over, and
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: this is second top five MVP finished. He might be
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: he might be one of the more underrated players in
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: the game, obviously coming off the year he had last year.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Here in top three, all of a sudden, everybody knows
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: about you, but how many people knew about a switch
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: hitting athletic player that could tell Marte is to me,
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: he and I read the one quote he said, I
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: wanted to be in Arizona, so why wouldn't I do this?
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: They're starting to build something in Arizona too that people
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: want to be there, they want to stay. They're not
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: just like I'm pushing it. I'm pushing as much as.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I can, and this enables Arizona to get a little
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: bit better price. I love this move. This guy is
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: a snake. He should be a snake for life and
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: now he's probably going to be so good for you
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to tell Marte. Good for your Diamondbacks. This and the
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Diamonbacks have spent the money. We yell at owners all
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the time. Ken Kendrick's going out spending the money. No,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, does he wish he had the Jordan Montgomery
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: contract back? Absolutely, especially after his year last year and
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: then he you know, had Tommy John So I love
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: this though. I love the Diamonbacks are going out spending
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: their money and it's great. It's a great topic for
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Snake's Territory for them to talk about.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: That's right QR codes on your screen if you're a
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Diamondbacks fan or you just want to hear about what's
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: going on with the team. Brand new show FT Network
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Snake's Territory. Check it out and shout out to Gallon.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Two thirds, shutout, three hits, no walks, thirteen strikeouts. He
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: torpedoed the ank.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: He owns the Yankees. He owns the Yankees, by the way,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: owns the Jersey guy yeap owns them.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: He gets up for these starts.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: In our game. Is in our Yeah.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: I mean maybe maybe he's a free agent, maybe they
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: might want to sign him. But anyway, in our high
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: school game yesterday, the pitcher that threw for us through
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: a complete game, seven incomplete game, and he had thirteen strikeouts,
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: and it felt like he struck out everybody. So to
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: do that in a big league game, it was just
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: like the curveball. I guess the Yankees are they're gonna
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: ditch the torpedo bat and they're gonna go with the
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: curveball machine. Or maybe they should put the curveballs in
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: the curveball machine and see what happens, because that's another
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: thing long with torpedo bats. Go get the torpedo bats,
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: the box of steam, the key to the batter's box,
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: the left handed breaking balls, all those.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, hey j you have media members taking photos in
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: the trap and it looks broken.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: It looks like what you would expect to look like
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: if there was no roof on it. I mean I
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: drove by. I posted a picture of when I drove
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: by it when we were in spring training, and it
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: looked like that without the roof from the outside. But
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: there's something. When we went to the Rays, I was
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: asking some of the people about it, and they said,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: you know, the problem is every time it rains, more
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: stuff gets wet, and more stuff gets more water seeps
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: into places they hadn't found before. So first thing they
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: gotta do is put a roof on that bad boy
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: before they even start about thinking about playing their next
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: possibly next year. I don't know, man, I don't know.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: It's crazy that they're gonna sink money back into that thing.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: What else they gonna do. They're not gonna play at
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Steinberger Field.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: You had twenty years to figure this out. Twenty years,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: and you know what finally happencrats mother Nature hit and
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: was like, too late. You guys should have put every
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: body in a safer, newer, fresher spot. You had twenty
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: freaking years. I can't believe that this has gone so
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: long for both of these teams. It's still hard to
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: fathom that we're actually here. We've got two minor league parks. Obviously,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: it looks like a shell of itself. Back at the
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: trop If I was commissioner and this was what the
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: commissioner was made for, in the past, not to be
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: you know, a boot lickor and just do whatever everyone
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: says in the past. When it initially was created, it
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: was so that you could make decisions and not be
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: listening to that one person right you would say, hey,
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: you've got five years to figure this out, otherwise penalties
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: are coming. That is what the role was created for.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: So the fact that they're may be going to pour
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: public money back into that place instead of a new
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: place and people are gonna have to go to that
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: again is insane. That looks like an ancient artifact of
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: a place where it's like apocalypse years from now or
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: something and people are gonna be like, is this the coliseum?
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: There used to be actual fish in right field. There
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: was a pool here. I don't I don't know.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know if I agree with you that, like
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: the storm rip the roof off, should they have fixt
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: to the point where the roof was better?
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe, but I mean there was a lot of damage
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: in that storm.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: They have to figure it out though they had, and
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: they're they're gonna get a lot more rain the summer.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: It rains all the time, so they're gonna figure out
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: where the water's coming in from But it's just a
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: crazy thing to think about, Like everything inside is supposed
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: to be inside. They didn't like, oh well, we better
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: weather proof this so in case we get rain. No,
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: there might be like a leak or something from the roof.
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: It is just it's coming in.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: The roof was not made to last for that long.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: It was paper mache. A new place would have held.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what he said.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: That's what he said.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: That's what he said.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: You got to come back hungry and hungrier every year.
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: And everybody knows that an athlete's career is short. That
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: there's been you know, this is now the fourth year,
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: and that's a pretty big chunk of a pro athlete's
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: career unless you're twenty two years old and you think, well,
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: I got I can do this forever. But most of
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: these guys aren't, and they realize that they're closer to
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: the end than they are to the beginning. And I
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: think that's a great motivation for players. What I do
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: see though, I think this team Ruben is because of
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: the strength and the pitching staff, and that if you
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: look at like ten and eleven in particular, I think
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: those two teams, and especially eleven, were really driven by
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: their pitching stats. And I mean, as Dave Dombrowski has said,
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: you know, whenever you have a match, when you can
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: put a matchup out there that generally favors you one
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: hundred and sixty two games every night, you're gonna you're
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: gonna win an awful lot of games. I mean, they
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: may not be perfect, but they are strong, and they
• 42:53
  Speaker 4: can go deep into the games.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: They could go deep in the season.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: And I think that's where if you combined the motivation
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: of the eighty team to this the fifth team, and
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: you look at the kind of the way these both
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: A eleven and this team are comprised. You know, the
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: way that Gruven organized Who's eleven team and the way
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: Pat has organized Pack sorry Dave has organized this team.
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: I think I think they're really I think those two
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: teams are more similar in their composition where their strength
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: slot lay right uh and frankly where some of their
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: their weaknesses.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Are all right.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: So that's John Middleton really good on The Philly Show
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: earlier today with our hosts Ruby Tomorrow, Jim Salisberry and
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Todd z a Lecky. I want to give you one more. Okay,
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: one one more bite from him as they asked them
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: about the National League competition, the Dodgers, the whole deal.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: So we'll run that, then we'll react quick after because
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: he gave us a nice media answer. Here it is.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: But look, if you want to win the World Series,
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: whether they're in the American League of the National League,
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: the National League West of the National League East, you're
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: gonna have to beat them at some point in time.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: To be the best, you have to beat the best.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: And so you know, it's.
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: Difficult because the financial resources that the Yankees have, the
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: Mets have, and you know the Dodgers have is it's
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: just significantly more than other people. In fact, how Steinbrenner
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: is quoted as saying, you know, we're at a huge
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: disadvantage to compared to the Dodgers. So I gives you
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: a sense of a where how perceives the competition and
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: where he stands. But I'll also remind people that I
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: think it was starting in nineteen eighty one, the Yankees
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: had the highest payroll in baseball for fifteen consecutive years
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: and they never managed to win the East, the Eastern
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: Division title and make the postseason.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: So it's not just about money.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: It's about having the right players and developing them and
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: keeping them healthy, and as Pat Gillick loved to say,
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: having the luck that you have twenty five healthy players
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: playing at the best of the game at precisely the
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: right moment in time. So you know, that's why you
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: play one hundred and sixty two games and then you
• 45:03
  Speaker 4: play you know, seven, five and seven game series because
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: you don't win it on paper, you don't win in
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: the offseason, and you don't win it in the media
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: talk rooms.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: You win it on the field. So the beginning of
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: this Kratz was them saying, hey, you've got the Dodgers
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: coming to town this weekend. He's like, yeah, we beat
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: them in both series last year, and he essentially was like,
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: look at the scoreboard. It wasn't even that close.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: He's a confident person. He's a confident person, but he
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: he exudes that because he wants that out of his team.
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: He wants that in his all the relationships that he's in. Like,
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: he's like, just go out and do it. Stop being like.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: His message to the team was be adaptive. Be adaptive.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: He didn't say, hey, striking out on breaking balls, or
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: chasing this, or he said.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Be adaptive.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: You have to figure out how to learn how to
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: pit better, hit better, feel better one day at a time.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: He is, he is the he's a top three owner
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: That was a great passion for him.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Why didn't he even compare it to THEA team. Why
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: is he talking about eleven? Eleven didn't win anything. Let's
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: talk about the oaight team. He should be like, I
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: want to be like the eight team.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: Let's slap anything the Yankees do kind of goes viral
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: these days. No, that's not torpedo juice. That's bone broth
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: in the dugout, and people are like, really, bone broth.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: You know what I was thinking, Aja tomorrow, every big
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: league team and every little league team is going to
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: have it in their dugout.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: You know what's funny is every team already has this
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: in their dugout. So it's not a story, not a story,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: not a story, not a story either. Bone broth? Why
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: bone broth? Because it's easy on the stomach, it's hot
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: and it goes into you when it's cold. Or we
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: used to have like chicken noodle soup and it was
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: basically they take all the chicken and the noodles out
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: of it, so you basically had chicken broth, so you
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: wouldn't get a full stomach, but it would warm you inside. Yep.
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: And you'd see the trainer would come up to you
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: with a cup and be like, are you that cold?
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: You need chicken broth or bone broth or whatever. So
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: this is nothing new, have it for years. The coolest
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: thing I ever saw to fight the cold though, And
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: I didn't know this until Paul Canerco taught me. Take vasiline.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Put it all over your body, closes the pores, It
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: keeps you warm. You don't have to wear sleeves. I
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: didn't believe it. I never tried it, but he had
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: to take his word for it. Wow. I hate the
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: newses vazelene Ye.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know that song, but there was a good
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: comment through our tweet up right now. Dick Peters on
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Twitter goes, imagine striking out and going back to the
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: dugout for a nice warm bowl of soup while you
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: watch your tablet to sound it funny.
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: Pulling it and watching it. It got cold there you
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: can see everybody's breath in the game
