  Speaker 1: Happy Monday.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Brewers Camp today, and for those of you that we're
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: not paying attention to us this weekend, we did not one,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: but two live shows over the weekend full on FTS,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Rangers Camp and Mariners.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Camp, so I encourage you to go back to those.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: If you missed them, you might be like, wait, I'm
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: not used to have tea on a weekend. Besides the
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: postgame shows that we do for the postseason, and we'll
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: do some stuff for the World Baseball Classic, but again.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Make sure you check those out.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: It's brawn, it's crats, and it's the snowbird Krizinski.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Do you know why I call you that?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Because it's warmer here and I'm here while you it's
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: cold there in Florida.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Woke up this morning. We had the feelds like in
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: the thirties this morning. Now I think got into the
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: upper forties.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: But the feels like is pretty intense here. So we
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: miss you.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Global Warming, Scott, global Warming.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's working strong, real strong.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: But we have a lot of great content in your
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: way today on FT because the Brewers are a first
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: class with lining up guests, so we're excited about it.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: You'll hear from many of the notable names with the organization.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: But let's charge first, let's charge out. You know, it's
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: crazy Kratz. You look at spring training basically just starting
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: games on Friday for the first sign. It's now Monday,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: and many guys are already on their way or just
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: about on their way to work with their World Baseball
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Classic teams. So we can bring up show hey Otani.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: For example, Yamamoto pitched at what an inning the other day,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and then Dave Roberts comes out and he's like, good job,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: good luck in the WBC. Otani's getting all the WBC questions.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Should we stir some controversy up right off the jump
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: here and go over what he told everyone about a
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: potential pitching performance in the WBC even though the Dodgers
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: don't want him to pitch. We can show a little
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: o Tani talking about the possibility, the inkling of a chance.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, so ninth inning it could be Japan versus USA
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: and the World Baseball Classic.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: You have said and the team has said you're not pitching.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Do you feel like you will?
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: Is there any guarantees that you won't volunteer if they
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: need you in the ninth inning?
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Or do you feel like you're disciplined enough not to
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: do that. It comes from next year.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Hard to say it, but if child shows up, it's tempting.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: So you're saying, there's a chance, what's all this one
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: in a million talk? No, I know AJ's going to
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: be the adult in the room. He's going to say no,
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: he's not going to do it. And the Dodgers would
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: be like, they would turn it. They would turn the
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: TV off. As much as I think Andrew Friedman and
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: Brandon Gomes wants Team USA to win or Japan, whatever
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: their rooting interest is, they would turn the TV off.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: If Sho Hao Tani would even warm up for half
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: an inning in the bullpen.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that it would be great because everyone
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: remembers the way the last game ended with Otani striking
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: out Trout on just a filthy, filthy pitch. So I
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: think it would be great. But listen, the Dodgers come first,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the health of show, Heo Tani comes first. So I
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: don't think it's gonna happen, but it would be really
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: cool if it came down to Aaron Judge, because Trout's
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: obviously not playing this year. If it came down to
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Aaron Judge or Bobby Witt or Cal Rawley or Bryce
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Terang or Will Smith or one of the many other
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: stars on the team USA verus show Hay. But to
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: be honest with you, I hope USA has about a
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: seven or lead in the night. Then they don't have
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: to worry about They can worry about striking out show
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: hated in the game this year.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: And just to clarify for those that were asking in
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the chat, no Mike Trout in the World Baball Classic
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: this year. They wanted him on the roster. Insurance does
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: not clear him based on the recent medical history for him. So, AJ,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: do you think that Shoho Tani would consider it if
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: it was a tight game and he saw ninth inning
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Judge looming? No, you don't think so. You don't think
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: we would get a rerun of last time around?
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: I think he would.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: He would. He would probably like to do it, but
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: I don't think the Dodgers will let him, and I
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: don't think Japan would do that because Japan would have
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: to answer to the Dodgers, and I don't think and
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: God forbid something happen, right, No, let him hit, let
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: him play. Like I said, USA, he's gonna have about
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: a seven run lead in the night, so it won't
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: really matter. Hey also gets there, by the way, because
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: they could lose to you know, Czech Republic or something
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: along the way.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Sure, sure, doubtful. Japan's going to be stacked this year.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: They have a really good team and it keeps getting
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: better there too, with the talent flowing through. But do
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: you think that for show Hey, he's got the unique
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: situation of not being able to pitch in spring training games,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: that the Dogs might.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Ease him into the season. It sounded like they're going
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to let him meet.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: For example, Mark Pryor was on Dodgers' territory a couple
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: of weeks ago and said, Hey, I'm excited to see
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: a full run here. I think Dave Roberts mentioned blest year.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I think Dave Roberts mentioned how you know he could
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: be in the Sight Young conversation. Well, if that's going
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to be the case, I mean he should be pitching
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: in week one of the season. He's not going to
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: pitch in a spring training game until most likely late March.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Like he might get one start. He's going to do
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: sim games. He can't do both. He's the only guy
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: where you can't. I mean, if you're not pitching the
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: WBC and you're not playing in spring training or pitching
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: in spring training.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: He's hitting in the WBC.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I know he's show hey, how many games does he
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: really need to pitch in spring training?
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: But it is still a thing.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: He didn't pitch last year before he pitched well.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Much later.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but he also ramped up with SIM games before
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: they threw him into big league games. We asked this
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: question last year, how's he going to be ready to start?
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: But because they have one major advantage, God, do you
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: know what? That major advantage that the Dodgers have over
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: every other team salarchaster spot, the extra roster spot because
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: of show Hey, they get an extra picture because of it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: It's funny, right, And no salary cap is not the answer,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: crats and or deferring of money is not the answer either,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: But they get the extra roster spot so they can
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: cover him because Major League Baseball wants show Hey. They
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: want these unbelievably good two way players. Now we've only
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: found one of them, and his name is Shoheyo Tani,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: and that's why they made the rule. But they have
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: an advantage because of that one roster spot that they
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: can use because he can start a game and only
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: go an inning or two, and then they can bring
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: somebody else whereas another team doesn't have that luxury because
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: they would have to use a picture that they might
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: not necessarily wanted to use in that way.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: New sponsor alert shout out to seat Geek over thirty
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: five million downloads, the number one rated ticketing app. It
• 6:56

  Speaker 2: after the games have already started on Monday.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: But we have Ranger.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Suarez making his debut down in Fort Myers for the

• 7:29
  Speaker 2: spring training debut for the Cubbies out in Arizona, Andrew
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Abbott for the Reds. Actually, Angel Serpa too is going
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: to start for the Brewers on Tuesday. He was in
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: their mind a pretty big acquisition coming over from the Royals.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: He's always had good stuff.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Gavin Stone against Gavin Williams with the Guardians and the Dodgers.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: George Kirby is starting his first spring trading outing for
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: the Mariners. So there are some good spots to look

• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you to Seek.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they kind of laid it out last
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: year how it worked out. Just gonna start it in
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: April now, I wouldn't even be surprised if they if
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: he doesn't throw more than three innings in a game
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: until mid May. And that's not gonna because of it.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: It's just gonna take you think about the fact that
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: it takes six weeks of spring training for teams to
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: feel like they have their starting pitchers where they need
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: to be. Now, last year, he wasn't up to ninety
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: five pitches his first outing in the big leagues.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: But like this guy's he's a unicorn for a reason.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: And you know they've already had kind of the blueprint
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: of how they'll do it. But do you want him
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: to ramp up super fast and then have to like
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: slowly go down and then ramp back up as they're
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: going into the playoffs. No, so I think it's just
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: a it's just gonna be a crescendo, just like it
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: was last year, all the.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: Way to the end. And Cy Young.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Sorry, I don't see I don't see that happening. That
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: is not a knock on Shoho Tani. If there's anything
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: that he if there's anything that he can't do, I
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: just don't think the schedule will enable him to win
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: a sy Young. Does he have the ability to if
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: he only pitched and he made all thirty of it,
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: thirty two of his starts, Yes he does. But something
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: has to give. And it's just you know, that individual
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: sim Award, and that's okay. I think he's got enough
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: other awards that he that he has.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're saying he's not going to rack up enough
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: volume during this season, totally.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: I mean you would have to have him, you would
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: have to have him.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Be this like something ridiculous, like one hundred innings, two
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: hundred strikeouts, like something that we haven't ever seen. And again,
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: it's not a knock on him, it's a knock on
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: just the fact that what he's doing is so difficult
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: to put in enough work to fight against the other
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: guys who will eventually win it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I will say five innings per start average for twenty
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: eight starts, that's one hundred forty inning. I mean, it's
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: on the lower side, but you have good winn a
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Sky Young Award if those innings are pristine. Depending on
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: what the competition looks like, I mean, I guess you
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: would need a that's fine, something weird from Skeens, because
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Skeen's is going to be bulldog in his way towards
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: the two hundred mark if he can.
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean honestly, but yeah, if I mean, it's
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: just like saying, AJ's gonna go and face go and
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: face big wu here in a few minutes.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: And if few lines is bad, up, he's.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Right behind me, and he's scared. He already told.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Them perfect time.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: If everything lines up perfectly, his career, if hold on,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: my my my headset fell out, so hold on, I
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: can't hear you, but he's right behind me. He's warming up.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: And I went to Murph, I went to Matt Arnold,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I went to everybody and asked him. And the only
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: thing I was told is that I need to sign
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: a waiver, and I'm like, I'll sign whatever you want,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: but I don't want to ruin Brandon Woodrif season before
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: it starts. And then I saw big Woo in the
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: tunnel and I said, I'm trying everything I can and
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: he said what I said, he get in a bat
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: off of you and he said he'd hit me. And
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: then I said, well, what happens when I take you
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: over the Rayfield wall? Would it ruin your season? He
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: said he would feel great about that. So I don't know.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: It's right there, he's warming up.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, mister Woodriff him.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: Oh no, not quite.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: He's just below us right there.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: We got Noan Ryan and Robin Venturre. Just so it's
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: in the way.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: That's right, our little charge and mound graphic very nice.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: By the way. Wow, he looks good by the way.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I hope. So he's got a big man.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: He's got his hair cut. I mean, he looks, he looks.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: He looks like he might be in the best shape
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: of his life.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, I hope.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: So he's a he's a rich man this year? What
• 12:48

• 12:51

  Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's the most we've ever done.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: It is really difficult to fit them all into spring training,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: plus cover WBC.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Et cetera. So props, props, props to.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: The scheduling here and then we'll do three weeks in Florida.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Poopgate has arrived.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Kratz, you're a former Yankee, and the team invests money
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: in everything around it.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: There is no doubt about that.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: But they did have a little sewage leak and it
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: caused hysteria for a twenty four hour period.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: So it seeped into.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: The bathroom inside the Yanks clubhouse. Fans had to avoid dirty,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: crappy pools of water during a game on Saturday afternoon.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: One Yankee spokesperson said that it is spring training for
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the toilets. Two great articles with quotes in The Athletic
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: and in Yahoo Aaron Boone said, it's not great.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: It's all over the place.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Hopefully we'll get it cleared up overnight and back in
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: business the next day.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Have you ever experienced any of this?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I know sometimes we've made fun of how John Fisher
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: was quiet quitting on the coliseum and it was a
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: sewage mess there. But did you ever come across any
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: crappy conditions?
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, it sounds like Florida just in general. But
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: just got got from there, got back from there. Look
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: like this is unfortunate, but I mean, who knows what happened.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: Obviously they're gonna get it done. Like that picture that
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: we just showed of it, like just sitting on the sidewalk.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: I'm assuming that's not rain because we were just down
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: in Florida and the people who stayed with they said
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: they haven't been getting a lot of rain. So if
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: that's the poopy water there, like that's a main thoroughfare
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: coming into the park, Like that's the main entrance there
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: at Steinbrenner Field, and it sucks, it stinks, It sucks
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: all the fun dad jokes, but no, I never had that.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: I mean, we had we had dugouts, flood, we had
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: clear water. The one hurricane, guys were kayaking in the
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: stadium at bright House Field, So yeah, all this stuff
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: happens like that. Honestly looked like some of the showers
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: from from Rookie Ball and Lowa AJ remembers those days.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Hey, sometimes we do a little game on Foul Territory
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: called role play.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: It's not what you think.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: We're just picking up our phones and we're talking as
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: if we're somebody in baseball. But if you'd like that
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: phone to be a little bit cheaper for making phone calls,

• 17:25
  Speaker 1: Save money get after a FTFAM.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: I do, I do. But here's the thing. The Yankees
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: are do everything right, and they spend money more than
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: any other team on everything.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: So not the Dodgers. They spend more.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: Oh sorry, well that's just payroll. I'm talking about everything
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: included Scott. So they're not a cheap organization.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: They good one. They they So.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just it's something that happened. Maybe
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: somebody used too much toilet paper one time when they
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: were after they were run. I don't know, Like I
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: remember Oakland used to have this problem the showers, and
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: we would be like, we can't use shower, A, B,
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: and C. Everyone has a shower under the fourth shower
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: because of things coming out of the out of the drain.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: So I don't know. I mean, it's just an unfortunate incident.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: But it's just funny that it happened, of course to
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: the Yankees, because everybody likes to crap on the Yankees.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: How many times in one segment.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: First of all, the Rays used the facility in the
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: past year.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: So maybe they maybe they had a delayed maybe they
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: did something where they delayed, they had something in the
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: pipes that delayed until spring training. Now they're out of
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: there just to throw off the Yankees one game in
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: spring training.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, yeah there was devils.
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: I'll be honest, Yeah, I mean I was just like
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: I said, I was just I was down in Cape
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: Coral and like it's essentially like all bay slash canals
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: slash like Florida I think of is, Oh, it's sand,
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: you dig not that far and you're gonna get to
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: like you're gonna get closer to water. So the fact
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: that we don't hear more about this from spring training complexes,
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: which yes they're used during the season, but they're not
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: used like day in and day out, Like it just
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: it sucks. It sucks for them because it's the because
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: it's like this is the time when they make the
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: most money.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: What do you by the way, Like, what do you
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: guys think Florida is? I don't understand, Like, oh, it's
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: just sand and I'm not surprised this doesn't happen. More like,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: what do you think we just dumped the poop into
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: the into the sand?
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: There's just like we have septic tanks, we have all
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: this normal stuff that you guys, you elites up in
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: the North have.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I mean you guys me, I'm loving it down here.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: You were born in New York. You you claim to
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: be born in.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: New York, the elite.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: I was born in small town suburb of New Jersey,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: crats in middle of nowhere, Pennsylvania, and you're Bougie Hampton's boy.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Come on, you were born yeah, just because which.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Is because Florida is the center of the sports universe. Okay,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: the Florida has now. We used to have football, we
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: have basketball, now we have hockey because not only does
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: the Cup only go through Florida now, but the guy
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: who scored the gold medal winning goal was also born
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: in Orlando. So pretty much Florida rules the world at
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: this point.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right here.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Good.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: If people don't know where Florida is, it's like, if
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: you live in the United States, it's like grey.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: You're trying to do the armpit thing.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: But if you have good deodorant, an armpit can be
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: a really fresh smell. And that's what we always met
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: with in New Jersey. When you pass through everybody, everybody.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium or everybody. I'm burner Field for a day.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: Everybody up north, they always want to hate on Florida
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: except for when they want to move there. So it's funny.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Everybody like every all of Kross's people, right, all of
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Scott's people, all of Marx people, all producer ladies people,
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: they all hate want to hate on Florida, and then
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: the spring training hits. They all want to come to
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Florida for the great weather and for everything else that
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: comes along with it. So you guys just stay up
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: there in your latest world up north. What's fine. We'll
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: be fine down in Florida. You know, We'll just we'll
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: just stay down there with our all our bugs, in
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: our poopy water, in our alligators, in our everything else
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: that we have happening down You guys, just stay up
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: there and enjoy your two feet of snow. We'll just
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: enjoy our weather.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: No, we're infiltrating and raising property tax or whatever else
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: is going on.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: Florida's trying to get rid of property. I mean, what else,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: what else?
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: What else do you want? No?
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I will say I grew up in the town where
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: we glorified Florida because people would go on vacation there.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: That's that was the average vacation.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: And then people are like, oh, they went to Florida,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Tan they got out of the cold.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Last thing, in conclusion, if AJ thought that that somebody
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: use too much toilet paper, you can take a page
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: out of the White Sox book, as the White Sox
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: have invested more in their team in the last couple
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: of years, and they did invest in a bidet this offseason.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: More bidets is the answer in baseball this season. Let's
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: get to the abs system. Craig Mish, who has been
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: on this show before and often will report on the Marlins,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: gave us a little video footage of a nice quick
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: ABS challenge situation. Here it is guys ready ann yez
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: rung Up disagrees a very I would say respectful tap
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: of the helmet. I'm giving the play by play because
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: I used to do that, and also there are people listening.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Then we look at the screen Umpire calls for it.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Seconds later we see ump missed and that's a ball.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Nice right, nice sequence.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: They're doing that behind us, by the way, they're they're
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: with the the sim game with mcgill'sprote woodrift thing they
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: have an umpire and they're they're telling them to check
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: challenge as much as possible so they can they can
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: learn what's a strike and what's not a strike.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean you're gonna see in spring training. I
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: saw I think he's Raphael Marshawn challenged like it was
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: either a one to oh or a two to oh pitch,
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: so it was like the second or third pitch of
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: the game, and he challenged it like, this is a
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: time see it.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Use it.
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: I think the Angels just got theirs installed. So but
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: they don't have a they don't have a screen to
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: see how close it was to show what it was.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: They don't have that technology.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: Shocker the Angels, but use it. Figure it out because
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: it's not changing. It's not gonna float. Except I do
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: have a conspiracy theory that I think. I think the
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: one in Texas is different than all the other ones.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: But that's just a conspiracy. We'll get into it another time. Yeah,
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: that's what he said.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: That's what he said.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: That's what he said.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: That's what he said.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Deep breaths, as we begin this one. Okay, AJ commented
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: on this story the other day, but there's a part
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: two as to Arti Moreno calling winning not in the
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: top five for fans based on this magic survey that
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: nobody can find. I'm starting to think they grabbed three
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: three year olds at a game one day and said
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: why are you here? And they said, we're here for
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: the vibes, the ice cream, and the rally monkey. But
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: in all seriousness, Ardi Moreno really did say this that
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: winning is not among fans top five priority. Sam Blum
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: is an excellent reporter, investigative reporter nationally and also of
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: course ends up having to do a lot of investigative work.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: On Artie and the team here.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: So he searched far and wide and has not found
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: one single soul that participated in this survey. This survey
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: won't be shared publicly, So here we stand with a
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: survey that is one of the I would say worst
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: quotes in sports history. I think we should go that far.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: And Kratz, you weren't on the show the other day,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: so you get to pile on first here. Kevin Pillar,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: former Angel had some great comments. So again I encourage
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: everyone to check out the other YouTube clip that we
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: have or the live show from the other day.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: But it's one of the worst quotes in history. Winning
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: is not in the top fucking five. You've got to
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: be kidding me. There's not one person that can look
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: at that. It doesn't matter.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: It could be a family member, it could be someone
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: that works for the league, it could be another owner,
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: you name it. Not one person looks at that and says, yeah,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I can see what he's saying there.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: I mean, it is such an out of touch, off
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: base thing to say. Fans fan is short for fanatic.
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: You want to go and see the team that you
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: care about, go and win the game that you're at, Like,
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: isn't an event. Absolutely, do you make memories whether or
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: not the team wins the game you go to. If
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: you save up to go to a game as a family,
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: absolutely you make tons of memories. But ultimately, at the
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: end of the year, you want to have your Angels
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: Mike Trout jersey to wear in the playoffs. You want
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: to see your team year in and year out in
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: the playoffs. So winning is winning is important. And it
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: just feels like it's such an out of touch comment
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: that even if he never did the survey and he
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: just like asked people in his circle, whatever his circle is,
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: they're just appeasing him, Like if he got actually got
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: this information from somebody else, they're just appeasing him and like, hey,
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: it's okay. It's really tough until you get a salary cap,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: you know. He just that's what he leans on. Is
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: just this all Hi? You know, we don't want to
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: change the infrastructure. We don't want to do the things
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: that it takes to win. And if you never do that,
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: you're never gonna win.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Aja.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: If that was a real survey put out by a
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: company that they paid money to, they got scammed.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Already comment on this, I don't need to comment on
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: it anymore.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's a part too. We can't find the survey.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: No nobody can want to know where the survey came from.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I feel like we deserve that right.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: As a fan of Major League Baseball, and you get
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: public money almost every team does, right, I think you
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: deserve to see a survey that says fans don't really
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: give a shit about winning. It's about affordability, it's about safety,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: and cue the T shirts. There's going to be great
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: T shirt sales. People are going to be like, I'm
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: here for the affordability. Wins don't matter, But in all seriousness,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: we should see that. I think that needs to be
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: shared to put this thing to bed, so that at least,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I guess the blame can be put on the survey contact.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Otherwise it's not happening. Why because just like you can't
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: share the books, you can't share the survey. This is
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: so embarrassing and I don't think it'll ever go away.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: This is the quote that will summarize the career the
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: legacy of Ardy Mareno it is.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: I can't argue. I mean, what do you want me
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: to say? I mean, yes, yeah, to all of it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: The surveys should be out there. Yes, this is a
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: terrible quote. Yes, fans are up in arms. Go on
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: anybody's ex Twitter comments after we ran this the other day.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: It just it's so out of touch with everything. The
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: reason fans want are clamoring for more I don't want
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: to say salary cap things in Major League Baseball is
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: because they want their teams to be able to compete
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: with other teams, even though teams like the Brewers where
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: we are today can so. I just think that this
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: is one of those out of touch things that already
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: said he probably wishes he could take it back, and
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: I'm sure certain people in Major League Baseball didn't love
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: the fact that he came out right before a collective
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: bargaining agreement said winning is not the most important thing
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: when you're about to go to war with the players.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I also want to clarify. They're in the LA area.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: They call themselves the Los Angeles Angels now, right, So
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: that's the number two market in the country, and they
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: have consistently now been spending below what's called a big market, right,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: So they haven't gone over their de facto salary cap, right,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: which is the luxury tax for them. They have not
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: gone over that since two thousand and three, which was
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: the first season that Mareno in the team. That was
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: a really long time ago, and that was a year
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: after they won the World Series title. Since then, they
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: have treated the luxury tax number like a salary cap
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: and always kept themselves below that. So if you're a fan,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: say of the Angels, and you're complaining about the current
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: state of the game, there's nothing to complain about. And
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Angels fans know this, Kratz. They're complaining about one person.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: They know that they can be a behemoth, but they
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: can under these circumstances, not when it's not in the
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: top five. And this place to the quote that I
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: shared on our show many years ago when we first started.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I shared this story pretty early on. I said, and
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: it was a fact behind the scenes. I don't know
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: how it is this second, but for a long time
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: he would not give money to pitching because they don't
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: play every day, so the fans don't get to see
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: that show every day.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: What are we talking about. We talk about growing an
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: entire organization to win. That's what we're doing. We're at
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: the Brewers right now, the Dodgers, he has. They spend
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: a lot on their big league salaries, but they invest
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: in their infrastructure. I know an ex GM who was
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: in the last few years, was offered a president of
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: Baseball operations job there and he said, okay, I have
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: to lay out what I feel like it would take
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: for this organization. And he had the opportunity to go
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: under the hood look at what was going on in
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: the organization. I'm sure he wasn't the only one, and
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: he said, look, you have to invest in the people
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: in your organization. You have a lot invested different ways
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: in the big league, big league salaries, but he said,
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: the infrastructure. You have to pay your minor league coaches
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: more so that they can have a positive life, so
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: they can live on the money that they're given. You
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: have to add more coaches, you have to add amenities
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: for the players, because the game is about the players.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: Already came back to him and he said, I love
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: what you do. I understand, like this is what would
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: make us better, but I'm out, We're not going to
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: do that. That's not how we're going to invest our money.
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: So it's not for me. Unfortunately for Angels fans, this
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: is just going to continue to happen. And for him
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: to say this that winning isn't the most important thing
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: is slightly against the CBA, Like, there has to be
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: a competitive There has to be a competitive aspect to
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: a baseball team when you're part of a monopolistic league,
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: because if you're not, then you're taking advantage of fans,
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: not taking advantage of the game, You're taking advantage of
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: fans coming to the ballpark and not putting the most
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: competitive product out on the field day in and day out.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if we can't be on the same page about
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: caring about winning, we've got issues. And in this story
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: from Sam Blum. He points out how players on the
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: current team have taken notice of the comments. A if
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: you're in the clubhouse and you saw those comments or
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: crats right, what would the clubhouse be saying for the
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: next several days.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: They just roll their eyes. They roll their eyes. I mean,
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: what are you gonna do. You're not gonna go out
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: and play any worse because that's your career. But nobody's
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: ever gonna nobody's ever gonna step up and say anything
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: because the only person that could say anything would be Mike.
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: Mike Trout might be able to say something because he's
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: he's there and he's been a good soldier for the
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: whole time. But like, nobody can say anything. That's their boss.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: It's just it's the players really don't have any aspect
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: to this. It's not like it's a rallying cry. Kurtsuzuki's
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: coming in. No, guys, screw already, We're gonna win. Like
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: even Kurtzuzuki got a one year deal. He's the only
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: manager I know of that got a one year deal
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: in his first year to come and be the manager
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: of a major League baseball team.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: It's it's unreal. The story just keeps writing itself and
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: players are noticing. Okay, on the player front, this is
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: interesting news.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: AJ.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: This just came in during the show Terror Scooble talking
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: to the media about how he'll start for the USA
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: team in the WBC against Great Britain.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: So he's scheduled to just start on March seventh against
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: the Broken Unis in their second game of the WBC,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: and that's it. He's going to try and lobby to
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: be at the Semis or the finals, something like that.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: He was saying.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: But if I'm a fan of Team USA, I'm a
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: little disappointed in this news. I'm assuming that there was
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: some back and forth. I mean, Tigers Schoogle his team
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: the whole deal to figure out what would be the
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: right mix.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: But what do you think about Schooble popping up in
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: a like I don't want to. I mean it's a
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: low leverage game too.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: I mean they can probably roll Britain with.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: With most number five starters on major league teams.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: I'm excited because I'm doing that game for Fox, so
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: I'm excited that school was pitching that game. So want
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: I told you all this, I told you all this
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: a while ago, School and I thought, I think Schemes
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: might only be throwing one game too, So as excited
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: as everybody is, I had heard this, and now it
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: just became official that Schooble and Skiings. I don't know
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: about Skins, but School's only going to pitch the one game.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know when Skeens is pitching now. I thought
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: it would be later in the tournament when it was
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: like loop winner go home games, so just to see
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: him pitches. But listen, at the end of the day,
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: you guys don't like this. These are exhibitions and they
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: are still ramping up for the season with the Detroit Tigers.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: So schoobl wants to be there. It's his last year
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: before free agency. He wants to win with the Tigers.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: The Tigers have made moves to help him win this year.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: The end of the day, he has to be there
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: for the Tigers. I applaud him for doing the one game,
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: and I really applaud you, Terrek for picking the game.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: One of the games that I get to call, so
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: I get to see you, talk about you for the
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: two or three you're out there and ch'er on the
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: USA secretly, of course.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: Does this affect their championship hopes?
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Crats, I mean, you're not going to have Schooble in
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: a high leverage game, in a do or die game,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: in a game against a team that is highly rated.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean somebody can get hot. Obviously, you think
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: it's gonna be the you know, Venezuela, Dominican Japan US.
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: You would think those are the favorites to be in
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: the finals. But whatever team it is is gonna be hot.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: Their hitters are going to be laiden, big league, laid
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: in lineup, and so you want you want those guys,
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: You want those guys to throw the best. But I
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: think we talked when we talked to Waka, he had said, yeah,
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: you know, he kind of hit it around. Maybe he
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: was piggybacking with somebody else. So maybe you know, they've
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: already scheduled who would throw in the semi finals if
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: they make it there. I don't blame Schooble, but I
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: am disappointed.
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not blaming him either.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there are a billion conversations going on behind
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: the scenes, but it does certainly make things a lot
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: more interesting. It is a dream lineup, It's a ridiculous
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: lineup for Team USA. But the best pitchers on the
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: planet right now are Schooble and Skians. We'll see what
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: happens with Skeens. I hope Skeens is like, no, screw it,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: I'm pitching. I haven't been able to pitch for meaningful
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: playoff games or anything.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: Close to it.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I'm getting my two, maybe even three starts of the WBC.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: But we don't know, We'll see. We just know Schooble
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: not going to be a factor in the big games
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: for Team USA. We'll let you know what else we
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: hear about that front.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: But let's laugh.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: So it's like two something in the morning and I
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: see John Haymon breaking Cub sign Michael Knford. I was like, oh,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: minor league contract. I mean, he had a nice little
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: run for a while.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: With the Mets.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: It was a really steep drop off for him last
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: year with the Dodgers. Dodger fans were not happy with
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: his performance, and he gets a chance to rebound here
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: and try to make the team out of camp. Little
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: outfield depth for the team at another bat. Also keep
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: in mind AJ the Cubs are down quite a few
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: players for the next few weeks.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: In spring training.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: It's a good opportunity to go in there and be
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: hot and make the team. Just adds depth. If he
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: makes a team, it just adds more depth. And if
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: he has a great spring, you never know, he could
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: end up on a different roster because he struggled last
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: year in LA So we'll see, but we'll see how.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: It comes yep, and we'll be able to see him.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: We can take a look at.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: The spring training calendar engineered by Fast and All. Cubs
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: camp Wednesday, Thank you Milwaukee Brewers, Mike Vassallo pr Superstar.
• 37:50

  Speaker 2: on Tuesday. Yeah, after Cubs Wednesday, we do Diamondbacks and
• 37:57
