Commish considers Pete Rose ban ending, Yandy blasts Randy? Sean Murphy out, Yankees injury hits · Foul Territory

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You usually have to throw it on a guy in
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: a long term deal, so that would mean Lindor or
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: you're not going to give it the Soto just signed.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: So yeah, if you have to have a debate about it,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: then I agree with themo. It's not where you're.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: At all, right, So let's spend some time here on
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: a story that emerged in the past twenty four hours.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Always a hot topic. Should Pete Rose be in the
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame? Should he be banned from baseball?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Pete passed away late last year in September, and Commissioner
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Manfred is considering removing him from MLB's and eligible list.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: We saw the President Trump talk about pardoning him. But
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Don Van Natta Junior, who represents Pete Rose, sent a
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: request in on January eighth and said, hey, he should
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: be taken off the ineligible list because it's a lifetime
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: ban and the ban is over, and the Commissioner of Baseball,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Rob Manfred, is considering it. They had a one hour
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: meeting December seventeenth, very busy schedule, but he did fit
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: them in for a one hour meeting, and you know,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: obviously Pete Rose bet on baseball. Also, there's been a
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: lot of chatter on social media the last couple of
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: days saying, well, he only bet on his team to win,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: but he didn't bet on his team to win every
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: single game. I just want to throw that out there.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: So if you don't bet on your team to win
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: every single game, why don't you believe in them the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: other games? Just start to do some math there on
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: why that part does not make a lot of sense.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: But anyway, AJ he has passed away. The Hall of
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Fame always tries to blame this on MLB, saying, oh, well,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: he's on the ineligible list, So if MLB does take
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: him off of that list, then it is on the
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame because they created the Pete Rose rule
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to keep him out of the Hall of Fame. So
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: what do you think is going to happen and what
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: should happen?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Well, if Pete Rose is what is eligible now, then
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: why is your list Joe Jackson not eligible now? Right?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, he passed away a long time ago, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: he's not in the Hall of Fame. He's still on
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the ineligible list. I think this is just a lot
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: to do about nothing. I'm sorry you broke the cardinal rule.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Pete and God rest her soul. But he broke the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: cardinal rule of baseball. You cannot bet on baseball games.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You cannot do. We saw what happened with Pat Hoiberg
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the other a couple weeks ago, where he didn't even bet.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: He just, you know, his friend used his account to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: bet on baseball and he suspended. He just can't do
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it. It sucks. He did it. He you know what, the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: biggest thing is, it took him thirty years to him
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and he did it. So you know, even if he
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: gets off the ineligibleist, will he get into the Hall
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: of Fame. I don't know how he go in the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Veterans Committee, the other eras committee, whatever it is. But
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: would people vote him in. That's a bigger question because
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: even if Baseball declares am eligible, the Hall of Fame
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: still has to vote him in. So I don't know.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But for me, listen, I've been hard to know on
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: this the whole time. People can get mad at me.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I don't really care. But to me, there's one rule
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: in baseball you can't break, and it is the gambling rule,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: especially when you're gambling on your own team. I know
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you only bet there's teams to win but still, I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: mean he was the manager. He did maybe, Scott Eric
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: he might have had a little inside information on certain
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: games as the manager of a team.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: And some guys are rested and not rested anyway. I mean,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: I still say no, he's not allowed in. Should there
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: be something in the Hall of Fame to commemorate his
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: unbelievable achievements too, because it's the you know, it's more
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: than just the plaques and the people that are in there.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of pieces of history. There's a lot
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: of things that mark the history in the game, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I think he is one hundred percent part of that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: So do I think he'll ever get in? Was one
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: of your questions, Scott. Yes, I think he will get in.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: I think they have I think they've played it out
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: and if the family really wants that, I don't know.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: You know, there's a lot of people that have broken
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: rules that people feel like are more important or less
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: important than that, and they don't have any more repercussions.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: This was a blanket statement, you will be banned for
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: life if you get caught betting on baseball. They put
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: it out there, never said you'll be banned for life,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: You'll be banned from all awards if you get caught
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: and doing steroids. No, this is something it was put
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: out there, it's read to you ever spring training. So
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's kind of cut and dry.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask you this cratzy. So if you
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: think Pete Rosegan in, why is Bonds none? And why
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: is Clemens not in? Why is whoever else will acquire Sosa?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: All these guys that are ped linked, why are they
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: not in? Paul Marrow? Pal Marrow's three thousand, five hundred
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: dollars runs that was that's two autos. He's not in?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Why not? Now? Can the Veterans Committee vote him in?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So is what they did? Now I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: preface this was not against the rules of Major League
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Baseball when they allegedly did things. Gambling is one hundred
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: percent against the rules, and you know you're out for life.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: So which one's worse? So if Pete gets in, why
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: do we not let the other guys in? It Just
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: there's a slippery slope here. And if we're gonna if
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: we're gonna say, well, oh well, gambling, he's not that bad.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: He's dead now within Zemi, Bonds and Clemmens and and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: uh maguire and Sosa and all these guys that did
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: all these great things. Are they going to get in
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: after they pass away? I think they should get in.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Now we weren't talking about the steroid guys, but I
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: think that to me, that's not even close. Like I
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: think they should have been in. And I think people
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: just want to be on their high horse and be like, no,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: I didn't vote those guys in. You also didn't face
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: what they were facing. They weren't the only guys doing this.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: They were not the only ones out on an island.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, those guys are steroid guys. There are
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: steroid guys already in the Hall of Fame. You didn't
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: get it right. Put the best in. They are the best.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Don't have another wing, don't have any asterisks. That's that's
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: my soapbox for those guys. They should be in bar
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: non flat out, that's it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: What about what about the astros guys? Al Tuvey, he's
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: going to get three thousand hits more than likely. Yes,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Carlos Beltrom was on that team. He's more than likely
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: going to get in. Would you consider them cheating having
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: cheated because a lot of fans will say they cheated.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: They cheated, yes, but we're talking about the Hall of Fame.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: We're talking about dudes that created things like what pictures,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: what pictures, put some substance on the balls and got
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: into got into the Hall of Fame like that in
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: In and In Carls Beltron and josel In.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, you see what I'm saying. Like, it's just there's
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: so many different ways you can you can frame however
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you want to frame it, right.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: That's the thing, because the way you guys are talking,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, well Pete Rose was one of the
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: best players ever, so he was what happened there when
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: he was a player, you know, And should he be
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: punished just for the manager's side.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Of greenies or greenies are banned then banned now they
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: weren't banned then, So should every player that took a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: greenie not be allowed in the Hall of Fame? I
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Royds, by the way, we're illegal. You can't use
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: them in the country back then too.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: But I get what you're saying.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of things you can't do,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: but I mean the eighty six mets we're doing illegal stuff,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and you know, people cheer them all the time.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: But this is why most people are like, yo, can
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: we just put them in? He clearly is near and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: dear to so many people and such a big part
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: of childhood and love of the game and the whole thing.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: And he definitely should not have been involved in baseball.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Once he was caught. That was accomplished. He is now
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: not alive, and it was called a lifetime ban, so
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: they're like, can they strip it? And the earliest this
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: was what I was saying before, that he could be
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: inducted as twenty twenty eight. According to Ken Rosenthal, who
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: was doing some check and buying the scenes, that's based
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: on the current process that the Hall of Fame has
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: because he would be considered part of the Classic Era
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: because his big biggest contributions to the sport game before
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: nineteen eighty. So the Classic era players aren't scheduled to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: be considered again until they do that voting process in
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: the winter of twenty twenty seven. That's a committee of
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: former players. Do you think they would vote him in
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: if he's taken off of the ineligible list, because it
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: seems like they're not into that that level or those
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: players from long ago that are on that board, it
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: seems like they're pretty anti steroid guys.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: But would they be anti depends on who's At one
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: point it was like Jill Morgan and I don't know
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: who else. Jill Morgan was one of the outspoke, most
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: outspoken guys. I mean, he was a teammate with p
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Rose for a long time. So I don't know, it's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: it's it's it'll be interesting to see this. I just
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: don't know that there it will be enough pressure for
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Rob Manfred to reinstate him to whatever level he has
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the power to, because let's not forget it, he still
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: has to get voted into the Hall of Fame. It's
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: not like, oh, he automatically goes into the Hall of
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Fame if Rob Manfred comes out and changes this. But
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: if he changes this and you got to get shoeless
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: show but in the Hall of Fame, also.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Should we just say screw it and just open up
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: the floodgates and let everyone in. I'm not even giving
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: my opinion here because the more that time moves on,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the more I'm just like, whatever, let the people in.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: If it's going to make everyone happy, and obviously we
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: have better rules in place, Like the game is modernized nowadays.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: There's at least a better testing system. There's more strict
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: penalties if you do get caught with Ryd's say it
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: however you want. People are so misinformed on this topic.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: We are so much better now in the past few
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: years at catching people doing shady things with betting than
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: we ever ever were for the first one hundred some
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: odd years of baseball because it's regulated, so they can
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: catch people, even people who kind of made a mistake,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: you know, at least that's what Pat Hoberg said, who
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: we spoke about earlier, the umpire who got caught and
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: now he's banned from the game. The reason you catch
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: those people is because they're betting on apps that are
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: actually regulated. So the people that are like, oh, MLB
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: markets betting.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: I've said my piece about it, and I just think
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: I think that the fact that we have more gambling
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: than we ever have as far as like oh, it's
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: being sponsored and all that stuff, to me, that's so
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: much safer. It's so much more regulated, there's so much
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: more we have a much more ability to track it all.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, do you think that the commissioner will take him
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: off the list. And do you think if that's the case,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: he will end up in the Hall of Fame. I
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: actually think yes to both of those too.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: With it, I know he's gonna take him off the list.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: How he gets voted in and what you know what
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: that process is. It would have to be like if
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: he gets in, Like how do those guys feel about it?
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: The guys that vote vote that player? Those players in.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: But I think he gets taken off the list ft fam.
• 10:31

• 11:32
  Speaker 2: we probably won't have time for later, so we'll do
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: the shout out here. Billy Eppler back in the game
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: and he joins the Milwaukee Brewers front office whatever title
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: special assistant to the regional manager blah blah blah blah blah.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: But he'll be part of the front office to help
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: them out there. It is taking a position special advisor
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: scouting and baseball ops for the Brewers. According to Andy Martino,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: who covers the Mets, Eppler, of course gott in I mean,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: in my mind, without knowing the whole story, fake trouble
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: for using the PHANTOMI l sounds like maybe someone pulled
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: on him or something. It's something that every team does,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: so I don't give a crap, but I had to
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: just sit it out because there was probably a disgruntled employee.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: But welcome back to the sport to a good dude.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: And when I talked to him before, you know, wanting
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: to have him on the show, he was like, you
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: know what, I don't know, Like I've done the GM thing.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: He had two little stints and he's like, I love
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: the scouting part. So for him to be able to
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: be that advisor, to join an organization that loves great
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: people in the Brewers, to be him be able to
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: advise them and give them like some counsel, but also
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: be in that scouting realm.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he's juiced. I haven't.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: I haven't heard back from him since I texted him
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: when I saw the news. But I'm excited to see
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: see where it goes and see where it continues to
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: help an organization that continues to find value on the edges,
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: probably better than any team in the game right now.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, even if he does want to jump back into
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: a higher level role at some point, being in that
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: system for a little bit will be helpful.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Right He had to lead the charge with the Mets
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: that was a team even.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: On the ownership side going through transitions, and they had
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: some messy former GM situations. Right, I'm forgetting the other
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: dude's name, not Zack Scott, who had his own thing,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: but there was one, Oh.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Jared Porter's.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was google that if you want to be like,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: what the heck's going on in life? But anyway, that
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: was a very short stint, and then he was with
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: the Angels, who also have tons of flaws within their organizations.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Then you get to go to a big boy org
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: in terms of how they're run and see how Milwaukee
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: is run.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: I thought that was.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Very important for someone like alex Anthopolis. Right, he was
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: running the Jays at such a young age. I just
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: don't know how much he was able to learn from
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: everyone else. Right, he was often learning from himself. So
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I thought that was cool for him to go to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers and then run the Braves. We do have
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: one injury that's fresh from today that sucks. Sean Murphy
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: cracked a rib when he was hit by a pitch
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: on Friday. The Braves say he's expected to miss four
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: to six weeks. Top prospect Drake Baldwin likely to get
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to begin this season as the starting catcher
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: for the Atlanta Braves. This according to David O'Brien of
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: The Athletic. Oh, that's a big jump in to join
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: a team like that too, Kratz, But this is their guy,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Baseball America top prospect. We actually have a great video
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: on him that you can check out if it's not
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: up there now, pretty soon on the Baseball America channel.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: But can you describe what this will be like for
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: a young, highly regarded prospect to take over at the
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: start of the season.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Tough? Right now.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Drake Baldwin's sitting there going if he heard that news
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: this weekend. He's drinking water from a fire hose right now.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Not saying he wasn't he's not ready. Just more of
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: the idea that you have to lead this team that
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: you they're going to tell you, well, just be your
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: just be who you are. But he's got to take
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: over a role that he's done in the minor leagues.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: And it's not just a seamless transition. You're learning a
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: lot of things. You're getting a crash course and a
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: lot of stuff. But fortunately Sean Murphy I assume will
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: be around and he is a pros pro who will
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: be able to help him navigate this. This is why
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: teams spend a little extra cash for a really good
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: backup though, like a Kyle Higashioka, like the Braves have
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: done for the last nineteen years on Travis Darnault. Like,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: this is why you do it, because a playoff aspiration
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: World Series aspiring team can't miss six weeks of their
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: starting catchers. So there's a lot put on his shoulders
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: here to boom start the season.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know we're still several weeks away from
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: the season starting, so we'll do the math and you know,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: maybe Sean Murphy won't miss that much time. The one
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: thing I'll point out is don't sleep on number for
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: catchers in the postseason, especially nowadays. If you look, there
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: was a great article about how catchers kind of suck
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: most of them at hitting in October because they wear down.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: So I'm just like, the Braves should be a playoff team,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: and if this dude is legit, how do I get
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: him from opening Day through October to still be his
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: best self? Most teams have not cracked that case yet,
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: even with veterans. You know, the catching stats hitting wise,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: now more than ever plummet in the playoffs. So how
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: do you keep a rookie in a good spot? Francisco
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Alvarez example A. You just saw that with the Mets
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: this past October injury sucks starring the New York Yankees.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: There are three Gean Carlos Stanton's gonna start the season
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: on the il PRP injections on both elbows. The Yanks
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: reportedly had some combos with JD Martinez to fill that
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: righty hitting DH slot. JD with a down second half,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: was pretty good in the first half with the Mets.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: It's one number two DJ lemayhew tweaked calf High, get
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Nolan Aronato on the line, and the Saint Louis Cardinals
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: and number three AJ Luise heel is temporarily shut down.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: So hello, Marcus Stroman. No debate there.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all, I thought JD. Martinez was a
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: pickleball player now because everything I see on social media
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: is that he wants to be a pickle ball player
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: when he retires. And then, yes, maybe Arnotto knew something
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: when he snuck up to Tampa the other day, although
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: he said it was to see Goldschmian some other players,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: and then The biggest one to me is the Luis
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Eel injury, because that's a starting member of the Rookie
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: of the Year and that's a starting pitcher, and no
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: team I don't care how many starters they say they have,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: even the Dodgers have enough starting pitching. You get through
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a year, you can't. You can only sustain so many injuries.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: So yes, they're lucky they have Marcus Stroman. And guess what, Marcus,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: You're going to get to be a starter like you
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: wanted now at the beginning of the year.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Hopefully these things aren't super severe again, it's a World
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Series aspiring team. I don't like load managed any of
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: that stuff, but when this stuff creeps up in spring training,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: nip it in the bud. You can get like ten
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: at bats in one day on field three and four.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: I know AJ said you never liked that, and it's
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: not the same. All these guys are vets. The one
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: that I think is going to hurt them the most
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: is the heel injury. Yes, it alleviates the Stroman stuff,
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: but this guy carried this team last year and a
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: lot of the pitching staff did too. When Garret Cole
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: was out, a lot of people forget he was out
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: to start the season last year, and this dude stepped
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: up and almost was the starting starting pitcher for the
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: American League in the All Star Game. So yeah, you
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: just you don't love seeing that, especially with a younger
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: guy too.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: For me, third base is still a problem. I mean,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: you're allowed to have a more of a question mark,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: a weaker spot. But if you're the Yanks and you
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: want to be the best team in the American League,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: there's a hole there. Who's playing third? Who's a starting
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: third baseman?
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Who's on first? Yeah? Who is on? And what's on second? Yes,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know it's on third. I don't know it's
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: on third, Scott, just so I don't know he's playing third.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well he's not that good. He's a negative win player.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: So do you okay? So then let's answer the question.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: If you're the Yankees, you go trade for Arnauto?
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Yes, I do.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: We got to keep up with the Dodgers, but they
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: can't afford it. Did you guys?
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: See this Yandy Diaz quote to Mark Topkin in his
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: article The Interpreter Quote. In previous years, there was always
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: one or two guys that they kind of do whatever
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: they want to do.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Talking about the Rays quote.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: So it's good that he talks about that, and that's
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: what we're trying to do this year so we can
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: have a good chemistry in the clubhouse. Talking about how
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the Jays are going to try to work on team
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: bonding and all that. A lot of people in the
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: comments were like, Randy Rose Arena and Yandi didn't get along.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Might be referred to a few others in the past
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: as well. Obviously Wander Franco had his issues and whatever.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to start speculating on who it was,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: but many people called out Randy in particular not getting
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: along with Yandy. Not irregular for two teammates to not
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: see eye to eye, AJ, But could that whole back
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: chemistry and team performance. I know you're not always the
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: biggest person on that. You're like, you can hate each
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: other and still slug and be a good team.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: No, but I thought it was you know, I mean,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: we all kind of guess who he's talking about, because
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: you're going to make these assumptions. But I mean, I
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: just looked back to when Randy last year Tad was
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: playing for Traded and he went and sat in the
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: stands instead of flying to his next game. I mean,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: those are what happened. So, I mean, you know, there's
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: there's things that happen in the course of seasons, in
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the course of careers that sometimes don't always rub people
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the right way. And Yandi is expressing his feelings. We
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: don't know who he's talking about. We can only assume,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: but it's just a weird dynamic to have Yandi Diaz
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: come out because Krat's played with Yandi, so he knows
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: everything I've heard about Yandi. He's a nice guy, he's
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: a great guy. So to hear him say some of
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the things, maybe he's taking that next step as a
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: leader for the race. This is big to hear Yandy
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: say this.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's if you don't and if you don't
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: get along with Yandy, if you find out like you're
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: one of the one or two guys that he's talking about,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: like you're really doing something wrong.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Because this dude is so chill.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, obviously he's gonna go in and do his biceps
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: and lift and everything.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: This guy just wants to go out and play baseball.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: He has a great time.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: I've never seen anybody get into get into it with
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Yandy or like even like piss him off. He is
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: super chill, So you got to be doing something egregious
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: to have Yanni say something like this.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: But I love it. I love the leader Yandy.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: M hmm.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: It's hard for me because I also want players to
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: be themselves and be fun with fans, but I get
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: how that can cause a problem. Sometimes your teammates might
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: not want you, you know, signing baseball's during an inning
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: break or something, but.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: You can ball.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: You can ball anyway. I wanted to bring this one
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: up while we have a moment. Stephanie Epstein article in
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: SI late last week about how they're measuring the players
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: for the strike zone.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Did you guys see this?
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: You got caught if they're like that guy on the
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: dating app who says they're six' one but they're really
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: five to. Ten there was like a good debate Between
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Nolan jones And Michael tolia and The rockies on who's
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: the tallest player Because tolio was listed, taller But Nolan
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: jones is actually. Taller but if you read this, article
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: it's pretty, specific guys in terms of how they actually
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: figure this. Out SO i thought it was interesting they
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: settled on the zone with and then the height is
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: between twenty seven percent of a batter's height to fifty
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: three and a half percent of a batter's, height roughly
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: the letters to the. Knees when you're in your normal,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: stance they do all these things aj to try and
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: make sure that you're not like cheating and slouching down
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: a little.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Bit they have you hold in your.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Breath they do the count multiple, times or they do
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: the measurement multiple. Times did you like? That because they
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: said the vets are the ones who try and actually
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: kind of slatch a little, bit while the young guys
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: want to be, like, Oh i'm super.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Tall, yeah i'd like to be five foot two for
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: my strike, zone but six foot four in real life
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and that's a real. Memory then that's a real, measurement,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: kids Because i'm six three and three, quarters so we round, up. Right,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah So i'm just letting you know that that's a real.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Thing but, YEAH i, mean this is kind of, funny
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: but it takes away the little guy that's like bending,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: down you, know and trying to make this strike zone
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: shorter than what it. Is so, yeah it's kind of,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: funny BUT i, mean whatever like this is only for
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: spring training until they make it next year into the real.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Roles they have come.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: A long way since twenty twenty, camp WHEN i saw
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: even The Great Aaron judge slouching a little bit just
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: as he was getting measured by the electronic whatever hype
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Measurer it's it's not a, scale but it kind of
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: looks like a, scale and it's like he's the guy's,
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: LIKE i don't, know and we were all, like we
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: were all.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Just, LIKE i don't have the. Ruler they didn't use
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the ruler on your head cratch and make sure it's
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: to make yourself taller shorter depending on how you bend
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: it on your, head tilt the tilt the. Ruler yeah,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: no that's that's not what.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Happened BUT i remember getting on there and being, Like
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: i'm not gonna be around for, this SO i don't
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: really care what what exactly my height is because it's
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: not going to affect.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Me they make you wear.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Shorts they send the results to an institute for biomechanical
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: analysis to make sure that everyone was standing up, straight
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: so they're not messing. Around the mets about a lot
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: of debate about you, know who could be their. Captain
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: there was a good article From anthony to como. Age
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: any thoughts on this just a quick hitter thought for.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: ME i don't really, care but it's been discussed a.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Lot so should they make someone Like lindor the?
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Captain?
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: No, YEAH i got the perfect person for. It hose
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Or grimace should be the. Captain those are.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Your not on the. Team but he's the, Captain, kratz.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: He could be the. Captain he can be captain the entertainment,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Captain owen being in The, mets being in The mets.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Clubhouse WHEN i brought up the Word, grimace the eye
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: rolls and the laughter and the association with SOMETHING i
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: can't even talk about on the. Show we have to
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: wait for it to be an uncensored show what they Called.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Grimace he's definitely not the. Captain, no they don't need a,
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: Captain like if it happens, naturally if there's somebody that pops,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: up if they have, to if they have a tough
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: time deciding who the captain, is they're not ready for a.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Captain, Yeah nemo, said slapping the sea on one guy
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: would probably not be a full picture of what's actually
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: going on in.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Here not only, that BUT i mean before the last few,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: years you probably would have Sent, alonzo but he's on
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: a short term, deal so you can't throw it on.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Him you usually have to throw it on a guy
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: in a long term, deal so that would Mean lindor
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Or you're not gonna give it To soto just. Signed so,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: yeah if you have to have a debate about, it
• 26:02

  Speaker 2: Answer when he was asked About shotani Or Travis, hunter
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: and he's.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: A football, player and he went on the baseball player.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Side and then had to give his take on other,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: things which he often.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Does by the, Way Travis, hunter all you got to
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: do is ask your, coach your former coach At, colorado
• 27:39
