Pujols OUT for Angels gig, Posey hiring Vitello from Vols for Giants? · Foul Territory

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: It spreading rumors and this is breaking news that happened
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: right around when the show started. Albert pooholes out on
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the Angels managerial open ning opening. Sam Blum done great
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: reporting as usual early on in his article that he
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: just released, which is talking about Pooles not being considered
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a candidate anymore. There had been mutual interest, but the
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: two sides could not get close on dollars and years.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Team also has wanted to speak with ex managers like
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Brandon Hyde and Rock Oball Delhi. Unclear if there's mutual interest.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Kurtzuzuki's in the mix, Tory Hunters in the Yeah. So
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: it sounded like Artie Marina wanted Albert Albert I think
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: wanted to be the man he wanted to be, Yeah,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and they couldn't see to eye on money. There was
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a prior article from sam Blum about that money, and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: he kind of mentioned how the Angels have a little
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: bit of leverage because they have this seven years left.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I think on the personal services agreement, it's a million
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: bucks a year in baseball terms. That's not like massive
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: numbers for a team. Although Arty Moreno likes to yes,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: this is different, but Artie.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Is not going to double dip either, like I'll pay
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: seven to manage in one to.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: That's a problem.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: But if the way I understood it was if Poohols
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: signed elsewhere as a manager, that comes off. It's not
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: going to be quote working for the Angels and a
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: manager for another team.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: That makes sense. You can't do that either, right.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: So the Angels would have gotten that money removed each
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: year that he was managing elsewhere, so that gives them
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a little play. And I think Artie used that as
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: his chip. Albert said, now I'm a superstar, I'm super rich.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I want to get paid pretty well. Then they both
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: said screw you to each other on the phone.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, I thought this was gonna be done. I really,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: when I talked to you, thought this was a done
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: deal with Arty though already something always seems apart. They
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: could come back and kiss and make up and Nick
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: tomorrow sham Blum could be writing Albert Poolholes as the
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: new manager of the Angels. You just never know.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Artie's a wake up and change your mind guy.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Remember when Garret Colton signed there, He went out
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: and signed Rendon.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Remember when he put the team up for sale and
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: then woke up and said, JK. I mean it happens.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: It's his team.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: I always bring up like I always bring up old stuff.
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, maybe maybe Artie's changing. He sees this youth
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: movement in LA and he says, this is gonna be
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: the new team.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: This is gonna be the new Angels.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: We're phasing Mike Trout out for the next seven years.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: I'm not just going for advertising dollars. Even though I
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: wanted Albert Pool host because I figured he would sell
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: more tickets and more advertising, I'm not. I'm not the
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: same Ardie anymore.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, it is a good point.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, Arty Morin acts big names as much as
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: anybody in the sport, and he really cares about having that.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: That ticket that wouldn't care about winning.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: No, he doesn't always.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe just told before the starting pitching conversation for years back,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: real person Abob with the Angels said, why would I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: spend some money and care as much about a starter
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: when they only pitch every fifth day? Need every day
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: guys that we can market around. Well, it's funny. That's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: really not how baseball.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Well then you know what, then he should go on
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: hire the crap out of some bullpen guys. Because they
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: pitch every day.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: That's true. You can market market.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Bullpen guy guys.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Go sign edwin Dnley Jansen, Henley Jansen when he was there.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: They did that already.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like, if he doesn't like starting pitchers,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: then go out there and go get some guys to
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: pitch everything, some bullpen guys.
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: He wants guys to play every day. He wants guys
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: to play every day. But he signed You wouldn't know.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I know, as much as we're joking around, I actually
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: thought if Albert was going to hop into a rold,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: this was a good.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Spot for him.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: So no pressure's fun.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Like if you're going to the Orioles or the Braves, right,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: one of these teams that should be a playoff mixed
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: team nextres Padres, there's heat right, because it is a
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: little bit of an experiment when you bring someone in
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that hasn't really done anything coaching wise in baseball yet
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: besides the Winner League.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, oh, there's been guys that have done Okay.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, boony Cora. Right, there's guys that are managing
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: now that didn't.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Come across a bench coach before.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: That's true. That's true.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: So he was in TV, but yes he had the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: prior experience. That might not be the best example. But anyway,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: don't you think that it's a he's a risky hire
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: for a team that's contended. Yeah, yeah, okay, I think
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that if you don't believe that, you're a little delirious
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: like it might work out great or it might be
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a disaster.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: We'll see.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: It's a risky higher when you have other guys that
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: are out there that are not as risky. That's if
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: there was nobody else out if there was a Brandon
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: Hyde out there, if there wasn't a Rocketball Deli out there,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: then I would have Then then maybe you know what,
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: go for it, Go for your superstar. He connects with
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: your stars, and you hope your stars lead the team
• 5:02

• 6:17
  Speaker 3: The brewers are expected to listen to offers for.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Freddie Peralta, I'm surprised Contreras hasn't been mentioned either.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: Also, well, he has more time left.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It's usually a year or two left, and then they
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: start to make moves. I don't know what Contreras is at.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Do you this is an arbitration? I know that. I
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: don't know what early.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Ist free agency twenty twenty eighth.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: So he said out of time, maybe after next season,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: because then you'd have two more.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Years after his rookie year. Right, But for Freddie p
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: this is last year of his deal.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and his contract is eight million bucks.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: As crazy still get his numbers of this year.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: He's top five pitcher in the National League. I know, Yeah,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: he's a nice I know.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: He's going to be highly coveted if that's what they
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: end up doing, and that is.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: He's durable. But this is what they do. I mean,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: they did this with Corbyn Burns. They did this with
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Devin Williams. I mean Devin Williams for example. Caleb Durbin
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: alone had a really nice year for them. Is totally
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a Brewers player. I actually think the Yankees could have
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: used him at shortstop. But still, I mean they've been
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: able to.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Swing Julie Ortiz.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all all contributors. Obviously, you know Hall maybe not
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: as much as they thought.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: And well it's because he got hurt to hit more.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: But he can really freaking pick it. You know, It's
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: worked out for them. They do these deals with the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: year ago. We'll talk more about it in the offseason
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: in the wed good reporting over the weekend from the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Athletic and Rosenbaulin Company talking about the Giants closing in
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: on hiring a Tennessee coach, Tony Bytello as next manager.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: And if you're you're watching right now and you're not
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: into the college game, you might be like, wait, they
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: already got the team in Nashville. No, this is a
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: college coach. It's a very successful program. It wasn't a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: very successful program before he took over.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: He's, i would say, a media darling, right.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: He's just very highly regarded in a number of components.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Is he the number one most successful college baseball coach? No,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: but what he's done has stood out anyway. Buster Posey's like,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I'm into it. Let's do something outside the box. It's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: not official yet, but it looks like it's gonna happen.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: The forty seven year old taking over the Giants so
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: this never happens. How do you think it's gonna work?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't I don't know. I don't know because I
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: just don't know how you just go from college to
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the big leagues. You go from controlling a bunch of
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: eighteen to twenty two year olds. Well there's like twenty
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: five year olds still hanging around there, but obtuly twenty
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: two year olds to dealing with guys that are thirty
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: plus years old that have had established careers. You can't
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: scare them do this. You're getta run, Yeah, Tony kick rocks, Dude, you.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Have whatever eight year contract. Get out of mind?
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Like, was he gonna tell Raffie Devers? You know, like,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: oh you're doing bad in school, Raffie, you lose your meal?
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Pro Like, no, like you can't. You can't forced guys
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: to transfer like they can in college. But I don't know.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be fascinating. Do I think you'll do a
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: good job. Sure, but it's just such a big jump
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: with no experience. And what I want to try to
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: figure out is where is the the connection between Buster
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: and him? That's someone I can't figure out. Why is
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: there a connection?
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: There?
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Is there? Am I missing something because I keep looking
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: through is he went to Missouri, and he coached at Missouri,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and he coached at TCU, he coached at Arkansas. But
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: there's no Florida State in there. I just don't now
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: he's at Tennessee. I just don't know where it is.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's anywhere he wants to do
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: it Kratz because he was in the mix for another
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: team too.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: I was listening to a show that was.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Like two weeks old, the Front Office show that Jim
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Bowden does, Who's on with Us all the time? And
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: they caller who was asking about by Tello as an
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: outside the box higher for the Braves. So it must
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: be a thing where Tony's also trying to.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know who his agent is, but his agent,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: you know his agent is, is like Jimmy Sexton in
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: the college football world. Like Jimmy Sexton controls all the
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: college football coaches. He's like, Oh, Kirk Signetti, the guy
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: in Indiana, you might be the coach and say, oh,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: six years, eighty million, Oh this guy might be a candidate.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Just leaks it out there and oh the school has
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: to pay him. This guy's and then he gets to
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: buy it. I mean, this guy, so whoever Tony Vytello's
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: agent is, is nailing this. Even if he doesn't get
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: this job, Tennessee's gonna be like, well, we might need
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: to pay him more. Now.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to get into any conspiracy theory. I'm
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: glad this gave us two days. We're allowed to have
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: two days to think about it. Because when I saw
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: the news on Saturday, I was like, really, And my
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: first thought was exactly what Aj said, like, how do
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: you how do you all of a sudden just become
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: a big league manager? And Scott he said, well, because
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: he wants. You know, this is something he wants to do.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: A lot of dudes that probably want to do it.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of Maybe I'm wrong, I think
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: a lot of college coaches are like, yeah, I'd love
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: to be a big league manager one day. I don't
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: think they could bounce around to like six different colleges
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: to just all of a sudden, one day get this
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: top college job. But the more I thought about it,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: the more I said, Okay, I don't know things that
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: are surrounding. I don't know how much he's getting paid.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know all this stuff or if he's using
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: his leverage. The thing I do know is Buster Posey.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: I know Buster Posey's not jacking around. I know he
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: is going from Bob Melvin, who maybe is a little
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: bit more laid back, maybe says, hey, you know what, guys,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: you know, go out and get the job done, and
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Buster's like, no, I don't want that. I want to
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: find somebody who wants to get after it. I want
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: somebody who is willing to maybe kick these guys in
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: the butt a little bit. And can he change Yes,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: I think Tony can. He doesn't need to be jumping
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: into the bleachers like he did in omahall after they won.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: But I trust Buster Posey, and that might be naive
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: of me. Might be I only played a month and
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: a half with them, I only hung out with him
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: in the offseason a few times. But knowing him and
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: his drive to be successful and his desire to win
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: for the Giants organization, if he thinks Tony Vittello's the guy,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: I'm one hundred percent behind him.
• 12:29

• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, I just want to say every GM president that
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: ires a manager, they think they're the guy. They're not
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: hiring a guy because they think he's gonna suck when
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the Giants are gage gap, or they thought he was
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: going to be good, right, So of course they have
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: to think they're the guy. They're not hiring the person
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: to be Like, I don't. I just hired this guy
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: as a sacrificial lamb for a couple of years so
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I can get five more years down the road. Like, no,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: they always think they're the guy.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: But doesn't this seem like a more high risk h.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: This is a very high risk move one problem. Only
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: somebody like Buster Posey can get away.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: With how many gms? How many gms do you trust?
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: I'm saying I trust him.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: I get it.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: I get it that when the Giants hired Gabe cap Where,
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: they were like, it's somebody that Farhans Aedi and his
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: minions can puppeteer, and Gabe was.
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Like, I will do whatever it takes because I am
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: the most robotic analytic manager that there ever has been
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: in all the land. And Clayton mccallug got hired by
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: the Marlins because he's like an amazing dude, and the
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: Marlins are like, well, we can't hire anybody that wants
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: to win because or that has had experience, so we
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: need to take the next best available. I get it
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: that they're hiring their best guys. I'm saying Buster Posey
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: is going so outside the box that if he's going
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: to go this far outside.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: The box, he's not looking to hope to win. He's
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: all in and expects greatness right away.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: And also gonna pay him.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's the second highest paid college baseball coach
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: over three million bucks. That's more than at least like
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: half the manager's out there already. Again, there's there's tennish
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: openings right now.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's gonna have to get probably five million
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: to make up for having a move and all that.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Stuff, and probably at least four years maybe five. Right
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: if you're proaching a guy because you can you can
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: run that program for a long time. You don't think, Sokratz,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: you think he's only getting two or three.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: I think he's getting under Do you think? Do you
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: think and maybe, hey, you know what, maybe Buster's like,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: I don't care what anybody else thinks. I think a
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: manager is important and they should get paid. You think
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: the rest of Major League Baseball's gonna allow the Giants
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: to without like just saying like, hey, bro, like we
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: can't be hiring a first year manager. I get it,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: he's got experience, nobody's gonna come in with as much
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: college experience, but a first year manager getting more than
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: three million Kevin Cash is gonna be like, uh, STU,
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: can you give me the name of the new owners
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: of the team, because I need a race, Eric Meander, Please,
• 16:02

• 16:04

• 17:23
  Speaker 4: an elite level, and the other things. Teams understood that

  Speaker 4: pitch calling was a huge value. Maybe he didn't offer
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: a lot with the bat, especially late in his career,

  Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, I mean it takes it. It's really special
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: if someone calls me an answer.

  Speaker 1: In your answer, Yeah, especially like unprompted. You don't know
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: they're calling and you're or I mean if it's not
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: a number, you know.

  Speaker 2: don't answer. So don't nobody take it personally?
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: The Astros signed up Nate Pearson one year, one point
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: three five million dollars major league contract. They're going to
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: give him a chance to be a starting pitcher. He
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: used to be a big deal pitching prospect in the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Toronto Blue Jays system. Remember, I mean he was like
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: a top three pitching prospect. Yeah, he was a big
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: time Yeah, he's twenty nine now.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: It hasn't worked out.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: He was hurt though. For a while. They tried him
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: as a reliever. They tried him as a starter.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: You can't throw strikes this this past year he barely
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: pitched in the major thing. It was like fifteen innings.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: He was mostly in Triple A. But twenty nine. It's
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: not thirty nine.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: You never know.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: I think Dana Brown was working maybe for the Blue
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Jays or something when he was picked. There's a connection
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: there because some people are looking like wait, free agency started. No,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: he was cut by the Cubs in September, so then
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: you can sign early like this a million.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: One point three five million.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, teams do this.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Sometimes they'll try and catch a guy and give him
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit more than he would get on a
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: minimum or whatever now to just beat the competition, right.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Because they don't want him to go and have a
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: showcase and come out firing and then yeah.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you throw something at him now and see if
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: it sticks.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: He looks good in the showcase.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: What is he like?
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Six six six', seven over the top banger some reason
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: you could see the ball out of his hand really,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: Well i'm not sure what it. WAS i just remember
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: facing him when he first came up
