0:05
Speaker 2: What do I need to sacrifice?
0:10

0:28
Speaker 4: Start with Crat's question. Go ahead.
0:30
Speaker 3: From last segment, you said you wanted to ask, already
0:33
Speaker 3: asked who's the m v P in the first half?
0:37
Speaker 3: Out a prediction like from the first half of the season.
0:40
Speaker 5: Who had the best first half? Andrew Jones, Andrew Jones,
0:44
Speaker 5: Aaron Judge or Cal Rowley.
0:49
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I got you got to catchers
0:52
Speaker 2: out here.
0:54
Speaker 6: He's a he's a he's a Judge, guys.
0:56
Speaker 5: Judge, I said Judge had a better first half. I
1:00
Speaker 5: still think Cal could win the m v P.
1:02
Speaker 7: I think you're looking at Judge average because he stay
1:05
Speaker 7: up there like four hundred for ever, and those things
1:08
Speaker 7: you don't see for a big guy. And you know,
1:10
Speaker 7: we talk about a lot of hitting a bunch of times,
1:13
Speaker 7: and you know, for a guy that big to stay
1:15
Speaker 7: consistent as a.
1:16
Speaker 1: Hitter, that's pretty good. But I can't give that m
1:20
Speaker 1: v P first half. We don't have first half trophies.
1:25
Speaker 6: How many go gloves you win?
1:26
Speaker 2: I got a couple.
1:27
Speaker 6: How many and how many platinum gloves you win?
1:30
Speaker 2: I mean we didn't have that.
1:31
Speaker 8: Because cal Le's got a platinum glove that you take
1:34
Speaker 8: your ten, that doesn't equal one platinum.
1:36
Speaker 6: I don't think.
1:36
Speaker 4: I don't know they didn't have platinum.
1:40
Speaker 9: That's not the point.
1:41
Speaker 6: Just because they didn't have them doesn't mean you didn't
1:43
Speaker 6: win one. You didn't win one.
1:45
Speaker 2: It was going so I didn't win one. I totally
1:47
Speaker 2: agree with you.
1:48
Speaker 1: He's if he keep it off, I think he's going
1:52
Speaker 1: to be probably tough.
1:54
Speaker 6: If he hits fifty as the catchers, he's gonna win MVP.
1:56
Speaker 6: Thank you.
1:57
Speaker 8: He's got he's got, But he's got he's got.
2:03
Speaker 6: He's got thirty four homers at the All Star break.
2:05
Speaker 6: That's a that's like a career year for like it's
2:08
Speaker 6: the league.
2:10
Speaker 2: Everybody basically thirty three.
2:13
Speaker 4: He might be at thirty eight.
2:14
Speaker 1: By the All Star Still, we can be honest you
2:18
Speaker 1: he hit in a tough stadium.
2:19
Speaker 2: By the way, too. It's a tough stadium to hit him.
2:23
Speaker 1: And hey, if you have to say, oh, we're gonna
2:28
Speaker 1: give him a half, that's what I'm saying. VP he
2:31
Speaker 1: probably will get it. Okay, there you go, he will
2:33
Speaker 1: get it. A lot of respect to judge of his average.
2:37
Speaker 1: I mean, like we say, it's crazy. It's tough to
2:40
Speaker 1: stay up four hundred for yeah, three months, you know
2:43
Speaker 1: what I mean. Somebody snipped that only like April.
2:45
Speaker 8: Also, when plays in Yankee Stadium, one plays in Seattle.
2:51
Speaker 2: I mean it's a.
2:53
Speaker 6: Little easier to hit homers in one than the other.
2:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, you still gotta hit him, you still got I'm
2:59
Speaker 2: just saying how much?
3:00
Speaker 5: How much has anybody ever talked about the fact that
3:03
Speaker 5: cal Rowley got an extension this year? Does that make
3:05
Speaker 5: him play free and easier? And say, because if it doesn't,
3:10
Speaker 5: obviously he's the.
3:11
Speaker 2: Only one that can.
3:12
Speaker 5: He's the only one that can say that, you get
3:14
Speaker 5: some money, what's the difference in how you're playing well?
3:18
Speaker 5: I mean, oh, I got more pressure now.
3:19
Speaker 1: No, you feel more comfortable. You're making your home and
3:22
Speaker 1: you know it, just feel comfortable. I mean, you know,
3:25
Speaker 1: obviously he got drafted by right by by Seattle, and
3:29
Speaker 1: you know, the Seattle is a team that gave him
3:31
Speaker 1: the opportunity to.
3:34
Speaker 2: Chase his stream.
3:34
Speaker 1: And and you know, when you lock a guy early up,
3:38
Speaker 1: it's gonna have a freedom to just go out there
3:39
Speaker 1: and have fun and play the game the way you
3:42
Speaker 1: want to play. Sometimes guy tends a little bit when
3:45
Speaker 1: they come to free agency because they want to have
3:46
Speaker 1: a good year of going to free agency. But I
3:49
Speaker 1: think if you get kids, you know, a good standard
3:52
Speaker 1: early they go out there and have fun and you know,
3:55
Speaker 1: put numbers like that.
3:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're seeing some of that.
3:58
Speaker 3: I want to take us to the World Baseball Classic,
4:02
Speaker 3: but you're the manager for team now.
4:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to be I might. I might do
4:05
Speaker 2: a Bobby Cox. You know, wear my spikes out there.
4:08
Speaker 1: You won't, no, no, my knees will be barking too much.
4:15
Speaker 2: Man.
4:15
Speaker 1: We played that game in freaking in Alabama the to
4:20
Speaker 1: day and I just don't feel good about it.
4:22
Speaker 3: Wait, but you know, I don't think it would bother
4:24
Speaker 3: you as much as you think, because you'd only last
4:27
Speaker 3: a few innings. If you're gonna do your full Bobby Fox.
4:31
Speaker 3: As soon as the player comes up to you and says, hey, Bobby,
4:33
Speaker 3: they're squeezing me.
4:35
Speaker 4: You got to have their back, you know what, don't.
4:39
Speaker 2: I can't get thrown out of the game.
4:40
Speaker 1: I never got thrown out of the game a whole career,
4:42
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to try.
4:44
Speaker 6: Not one because Bobby got thrown out every time.
4:48
Speaker 1: Bobby, every time when we tell him something that this
4:51
Speaker 1: guy squeezing this hell and out of this guy.
4:53
Speaker 2: You really, next, bitch, go on?
4:55
Speaker 4: Is that what he would do when you guys went
4:57
Speaker 4: up to him, he would.
4:58
Speaker 1: Go, he would go as soon as somebody gets squeezed,
5:02
Speaker 1: and don't let those big guys game squeeze.
5:04
Speaker 2: He's gonna get tossed quick.
5:06
Speaker 4: If it's Maddox or Glavin or Small. He's there.
5:09
Speaker 1: First inning, he got thrown out of the game in
5:13
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium. First inning we go playing the interleague game,
5:20
Speaker 1: and first inning he go, is this freaking f brace
5:26

7:17
Speaker 2: Kind of want to.
7:18
Speaker 1: I would love to have him because I see how
7:20
Speaker 1: they're doing through the minor league and you know it's
7:23
Speaker 1: a short series and you know, you just you need
7:26
Speaker 1: arms position players. I talk with Profar, I talk with Albi's,
7:30
Speaker 1: I talk with Rafaela. Talk with a couple of guys
7:35
Speaker 1: that's playing in Mexico, like Didi Gregoria's and and uh
7:39
Speaker 1: Scope Jonathan Scope.
7:41
Speaker 2: You know. I talk with Karly Jensen.
7:43
Speaker 1: I told him, I say, even if he don't pitch,
7:46
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be on the team so you
7:47
Speaker 1: can help these young guys, you know, with with you
7:51
Speaker 1: know how you learn all the craft that you that
7:53
Speaker 1: you do, and you know it would be a good
7:55
Speaker 1: good thing for him. How about Drew True, he's on
7:58
Speaker 1: the roster, but seem you know, we'll see if we
8:02
Speaker 1: you know.
8:02
Speaker 2: If we need a guy to go out there and play.
8:04
Speaker 6: You'll see if he plays good enough.
8:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's gonna make the team.
8:08
Speaker 2: He's got to make the team.
8:10
Speaker 5: Would his mom be the one that would keep him
8:12
Speaker 5: off the team or on the team?
8:13
Speaker 6: Like who would push more?
8:14
Speaker 2: Would you be like his mom hit me up? You go?
8:18
Speaker 1: Is he gonna play on the team. I say he's
8:19
Speaker 1: on the roster. We'll see. You gotta heard it, Yeah,
8:23
Speaker 1: you gotta, Hey, you gotta show up. You got to
8:25
Speaker 1: show me that you can do it.
8:27
Speaker 5: Any of your legends obviously nobody really knows these legends,
8:29
Speaker 5: but playing against Team Netherlands, any of the legends gonna
8:33
Speaker 5: play Charndl the caster.
8:35
Speaker 2: Those guys are gire Jersey.
8:37
Speaker 6: We had Gyre on the other scene.
8:38
Speaker 10: Now you know what, he's pitching independent league, so I
8:42
Speaker 10: know we never you know, the last two vengeance Herkus
8:49
Speaker 10: last three times that you know, I play one in
8:52
Speaker 10: twenty thirteen, and then I coached the next two ones.
8:57
Speaker 1: He was the pitching coach. He's the fun I love him.
9:00
Speaker 1: He's he's a great, great, great man. So it's gonna
9:03
Speaker 1: be interesting, you know, obviously, like I say, it's a
9:05
Speaker 1: short series, or you want to have arm and you
9:08
Speaker 1: know the things that you know, the Kingdom always have
9:12
Speaker 1: problem with it's arms. You know, we had every all
9:14
Speaker 1: the position players, but we don't have arms. So I
9:17
Speaker 1: think right now we have quite a few good arms
9:18
Speaker 1: for the minor league and hopefully the micro to catch
9:22
Speaker 1: and pitch. I don't think he's gonna get down there
9:24
Speaker 1: no more. If he gets down there, he will not.
9:29
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I got bo guards boards is plained. He
9:32
Speaker 1: equal mere too. So you know we're gonna have a
9:34
Speaker 1: good squad. We're gonna have them. You know, we're not
9:37
Speaker 1: gonna have that that easy division that we used to have.
9:41
Speaker 2: When we go play overseas in in in Korea, Japan.
9:45
Speaker 1: But you know we're gonna have to face you know,
9:47
Speaker 1: American Republic, Venezuela, Israel, Israel's I think Israel is my
9:52
Speaker 1: my underdog teams. Sneaky, sneaky, sleeper, sneaky because they got
9:58
Speaker 1: all all the American.
9:59
Speaker 2: Guys gonna be they are this time right Yeah, that
10:06
Speaker 2: you know have some family Jewish they can play on it.
10:11
Speaker 4: So that's the four Those are the four ends in
10:13
Speaker 4: that group. And Venezuela from the jump, and.
10:16
Speaker 2: I think it's okay.
10:20
Speaker 1: But what's Puerto Rico have Puerto Rico is they're gonna
10:23
Speaker 1: start in Puerto Rico. I think they're gonna start in
10:25
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico.
10:28
Speaker 2: Where's Poland starting?
10:30
Speaker 4: Because they want a jugger not to start. You're in
10:32
Speaker 4: the same pool right off the jump with d R
10:35
Speaker 4: and Venezuela.
10:36
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, So it's gonna be tough.
10:39
Speaker 4: What to come out of the pool, Oh my gosh.
10:42
Speaker 2: And I'm telling you he's sneaky. They sneaky there.
10:46
Speaker 4: So it's five teams and to come out, yes, to.
10:49
Speaker 1: Come up and it's goal you know, run, deferation, run,
10:53
Speaker 1: you know, I mean your runs you scored and all
10:55
Speaker 1: this stuff.
10:56
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be tough.
10:57
Speaker 6: That's tough.
10:57
Speaker 5: That's a tough How important do you think that that
11:00
Speaker 5: development for young players because you always talk about like, oh,
11:04
Speaker 5: he's young, I don't know if the organization will let
11:07
Speaker 5: him play. My opinion of it is those international baseball,
11:11
Speaker 5: whether it's winter Ball, whether it's Olympic qualifiers, all that
11:15
Speaker 5: stuff is the only time some minor leaguers ever get.
11:19
Speaker 2: A chance to compete.
11:20
Speaker 5: How important do you think it is for those guys
11:23
Speaker 5: to get that opportunity to grow and be a better
11:26
Speaker 5: big leaguer.
11:27
Speaker 2: Win.
11:27
Speaker 1: Well, I mean you if you get those opportunity to
11:29
Speaker 1: go to those teams, you're gonna play with some of
11:32
Speaker 1: big league players already, so you can get a chance
11:35
Speaker 1: to pick the brain being around them, see how they
11:37
Speaker 1: go about their business.
11:38
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not saying in the minor league you
11:40
Speaker 2: don't compete.
11:41
Speaker 1: You know, you compete every day, but you know it's
11:43
Speaker 1: not like a you know, a very high standard competition
11:47
Speaker 1: or like a playoff. In these international games, every game
11:51
Speaker 1: is like Game seven the World Series. Yeah, you know
11:54
Speaker 1: what I mean. So's it's a little bit more oppression.
11:56
Speaker 1: It's a little bit more enthusiasm to go, you know,
11:59
Speaker 1: trying to score, make the perfect pitch, trying not to
12:02
Speaker 1: make mistakes.
12:02
Speaker 2: So, you know, it's it's good for the young kids.
12:05
Speaker 2: I love it.
12:06
Speaker 1: I mean, we had a bunch of young kids when
12:07
Speaker 1: we when we you know, when I first played in
12:10
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, you know, Bogarts were coming, Jonathan Scope was coming.
12:15
Speaker 1: We had a lot of young guys, and Anathon Simmons
12:18
Speaker 1: was coming to so those guys were part of that
12:20
Speaker 1: group that kind of develop and and and and start
12:23
Speaker 1: growing up and trying to reach the level where they
12:26
Speaker 1: wanted to be.
12:27
Speaker 8: You guys have the group of death, by the way,
12:28
Speaker 8: like in soccer they talk about it in the World
12:30
Speaker 8: Cup and places did Venezuela, Dominican, Netherlands, Israel, n Nicaragua
12:36
Speaker 8: was in trouble. Yeah, but then you look at like
12:38
Speaker 8: all came again, Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, Canada, Panama, Columbia,
12:42
Speaker 8: like out of a nice for yall even listen, no
12:45
Speaker 8: offense in USA, USA, Mexico, Italy, Great Britain with their
12:49
Speaker 8: jerseys that don't even work.
12:50
Speaker 6: Letters fall off in.
12:52
Speaker 2: Brazil, Zil.
12:53
Speaker 4: They need to get them to the next round for ratings.
12:55
Speaker 2: But it's fistly going to be the match.
12:58
Speaker 6: But I don't think he's doing it, the know.
13:00
Speaker 8: I think maybe Civilian is but I thought he was
13:03
Speaker 8: Venezuelan or maybe whatever's most advantagous.
13:07
Speaker 4: Andrew it is ridiculous, I know, I guess.
13:09
Speaker 11: I mean Japan, Australia, Korea, check chick tape. I mean
13:14
Speaker 11: Japan is like that's why, that's why we used to
13:16
Speaker 11: be all the time. We used to play Chinese to
13:18
Speaker 11: pay you know, Australia and you know we we will
13:21
Speaker 11: run through them or litter have to beat Korea, you
13:23
Speaker 11: know what I mean. We we beat Korea, we'll be Korea.
13:26
Speaker 11: We beat Japan you know before. But those are easy
13:32
Speaker 11: year your rules.
13:34
Speaker 4: You guys are getting worked. I'm telling you that division,
13:37
Speaker 4: that pool is by far the toughest. That's not even closed.
13:40
Speaker 1: That's that's why you know, I say we need pitching.
13:43
Speaker 1: You know, we need we need armed because if somebody
13:45
Speaker 1: you got to get out.
13:46
Speaker 6: At least you get to go to Miami for like
13:47
Speaker 6: four days.
13:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it can be a vacation. It can
13:51
Speaker 1: be a long one too. If we know, we might
13:52
Speaker 1: we might surprise somebody. We don't never know, you know,
13:55
Speaker 1: we never know. If if the guys do what they
13:57
Speaker 1: need to do and and if I get you know,
13:59
Speaker 1: the arms that that is available.
14:02
Speaker 2: We got, you know, we actually we got you know,
14:03
Speaker 2: I look at the russ We got a.
14:04
Speaker 1: Couple you know, good American pitchers that is in triple
14:08
Speaker 1: A and double A that's American.
14:10
Speaker 2: That the family are Dutch. So you know we have
14:14
Speaker 2: them on the rustle. So we'll see what happened.
14:16
Speaker 6: Let's go to something a little more this year. Okay,
14:18
Speaker 6: the heck's wrong with your braves?
14:20
Speaker 2: Oh man, struggle boss? Why though?
14:23
Speaker 8: I mean because they couldn't hit last year and they
14:25
Speaker 8: still weren't really hitting this year.
14:27
Speaker 2: Well, I mean.
14:30
Speaker 1: The way it finished that year. You know, they they
14:32
Speaker 1: barrel to get into the playoffs. So it was just
14:35
Speaker 1: drained out already, and you know, it was kind of
14:38
Speaker 1: weird the way the situation went. You know, we played
14:40
Speaker 1: doublehanda to go into the playoffs. Who win, who lose,
14:44
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs. So it was kind of like
14:46
Speaker 1: a kind of set up, I think, kind of thing,
14:48
Speaker 1: be honest with you, because one team gave up. One
14:51
Speaker 1: team was like, Okay, I don't want to go to
14:53
Speaker 1: San Diego, so let these guys go to San Diego,
14:55
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it fell bad for

Speaker 4: Do you think there are two many extensions?
17:01
Speaker 3: Going back to what we talked about earlier, this was
17:03
Speaker 3: brought up on one of our shows a week and
17:04
Speaker 3: a half ago, Like, are there too many guys comfortably
17:07
Speaker 3: set up in long term contracts?
17:12
Speaker 2: I mean yes and no in the same time. Be
17:20
Speaker 2: honest with you.
17:21
Speaker 1: The contracts that they signed these guys up are you know,
17:24
Speaker 1: pretty decent contract for everybody, But it's not what like
17:29
Speaker 1: a WHO contract, you know what I mean. So if
17:31
Speaker 1: you can lock a guy young and you know, be
17:34
Speaker 1: donated it's good. I think, you know, we went a
17:37
Speaker 1: little bit too quick on a couple of guys, but
17:41
Speaker 1: you know, you just kinda let them perform.
17:42
Speaker 2: I mean, we all did that before.
17:44
Speaker 1: You know, we had to go to almost free agency
17:48
Speaker 1: before you get to the extension or or you got
17:50
Speaker 1: to go free agent, so you know, you got to
17:53
Speaker 1: do arbitration. You know, never no arbitration cases can go
17:57
Speaker 1: one to the team and one to the player.
17:58
Speaker 2: But I think that.
18:01
Speaker 1: Money is too high now that that that's why they're
18:03
Speaker 1: trying to avoid that and give the kids, you know,
18:06
Speaker 1: extension real quick to avoid those those high you know.
18:10
Speaker 1: I think in vitation that was like twenty million or
18:12
Speaker 1: something like that, only your thirty year, you know. So
18:15
Speaker 1: it's it's it's you know, the money's going high.
18:19
Speaker 2: Yeah.
18:21
Speaker 3: How how much are you watching, you know, with the
18:24
Speaker 3: Braves also versus watching your son Drew.
18:27
Speaker 1: I watch both, you know, I get chances because these
18:30
Speaker 1: games start laid and I watch, you know, I watch
18:32
Speaker 1: Braves early, so I watch all the games and I
18:35
Speaker 1: go to the game all the time.
18:36
Speaker 2: I still I still do stuff.
18:38
Speaker 1: With with the Braves, you know, spring training, I go
18:40
Speaker 1: out to the clubhouse and talk with the guys and
18:43
Speaker 1: you know, asking what's going on or what you're feeling,
18:45
Speaker 1: are your family or whatever?
18:46
Speaker 2: So just just baseball operation with him.
18:49
Speaker 3: Are you mentoring? I remember, like there's sometimes specific players.
18:53
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's just the Braves or if
18:55
Speaker 3: there's other players in the league. Like I know, weren't
18:58
Speaker 3: you working with Christian Poche at one point?
19:01
Speaker 1: Be honestly, I went to see all those kids, you
19:03
Speaker 1: know by shay Akuna, you know Riley, you know Swans
19:07
Speaker 1: and all those guys when they would you know, through
19:09
Speaker 1: the minor league. And that's why we had a different
19:11
Speaker 1: minor league coordinator than he wanted us. To go there
19:14
Speaker 1: and and then talk to guys, watch him and see
19:16
Speaker 1: what they do and talk with him. Being the dugout
19:18
Speaker 1: during the game, you know, say hey, you know, if
19:21
Speaker 1: you just hit, if you just hit a ninety five
19:23
Speaker 1: miles while fastball up in the zone for Homer, you're
19:26
Speaker 1: not gonna see a fastball, the knacks a bat. Just
19:29
Speaker 1: just take it out of your head, So why are
19:32
Speaker 1: you gonna look for something else?
19:34
Speaker 2: Right?
19:34
Speaker 1: So you know, just lit the stuff that you know,
19:36
Speaker 1: put in the head of the kids and just so
19:38
Speaker 1: they can you know, go out there and and and
19:41
Speaker 1: and and put numbers and have fun.

Speaker 1: good numbers, and you know, all of a sudden then
22:48
Speaker 1: you you know, your names start falling in this in
22:50
Speaker 1: this category with you know, some of the greatest guys
22:53

23:39
Speaker 6: We're gonna have to go.
23:40
Speaker 3: I think center fielders are disrespected though with the voting.
23:43
Speaker 3: I think there's certain positions that are not getting enough love,
23:46
Speaker 3: and I think centerfield one of them.
23:47
Speaker 4: He's talked about Tory.
23:49
Speaker 6: I say, if you go in, Tory, Hunter's got to
23:51
Speaker 6: be on your coattails because if.
23:52
Speaker 12: You look at your numbers, belt run two, uh, Jim Edmonds,
23:56
Speaker 12: there's a lot of guys often that just I'm just
24:02
Speaker 12: you know, we were talking about it in the group
24:04
Speaker 12: that we have, and you know, we would talk about
24:07
Speaker 12: when when Dave Parker passed away, and we would talk about,
24:10
Speaker 12: you know, many guys that that you know, belonging to
24:13
Speaker 12: the Hall of Fame, that had an Hall of Fame
24:15
Speaker 12: career that get overlooked because the guys before before them
24:19
Speaker 12: had tremendous numbers.
24:22
Speaker 1: And you was there, but you were not going to
24:26
Speaker 1: be that person. You're not going to be really amazing.
24:29
Speaker 1: You're not going to be Kan Gravey junior. It's going
24:31
Speaker 1: to be only one of those guys. But you play
24:33
Speaker 1: on the higher level with them, you know, you should
24:36
Speaker 1: get a recognition of what your number was with them,
24:38
Speaker 1: and then you know, respect the guy as you know,
24:42
Speaker 1: he was one of the great ones that played the position.
24:45
Speaker 1: I mean those guys that you know, they had great numbers.
24:48
Speaker 1: I mean Jen Aplink got great numbers, Kenny Lovelin got
24:51
Speaker 1: great numbers, Tory Hunter got great numbers.
24:54
Speaker 2: You know those guys.
24:54
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's it's just, you know, they
24:58
Speaker 1: just push them away from it because the guys before had.
25:03
Speaker 2: Trompendous.
25:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, top ten in all of everything, so
25:08
Speaker 5: and so it ruined it for the other center.
