Mets/Alonso aftermath, Pirates sign Pham, Owners promote...John Fisher?! How good was Randy Johnson? · Foul Territory

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Are you buying what they did at the end of
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: the year or was that start just a you know,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: it was fake.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: It wasn't a real start.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: This is what I picture. Okay, it's seven o'clock West
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Coast time. Actually know what, I got to scratch this
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: idea because they were actually out to dinner Pete Alonzo
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: or drinks or whatever. Stevie Cohen, mister Boris and David Stearns.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: But you know, my theory always aj it's that Boris
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: is working late. He's on the West Coast, so it's
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: even later East Coast. Having a little casual combo with
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: an owner who's got cocktail in hand, finishes cocktail, says
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: screw it, just do it. And that's how deals all
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: get done between about ten and one am in baseball.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Well, the owners were all in Palm Beach this week
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: for the owners meeting, So Tampa to Palm Beach for
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Steve Cohen, that's a short helicopter ride for the layfers,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and that's a pretty long car ride. But for him,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: either helicopter or jet from Palm Beach to Tampa's not
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: very far.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like what twenty minutes in the air, just
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: because you got to get up and speed up and
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: go down maybe ten.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's not very far. It's like a four
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: hour drive, So I mean whatever a four hour drive
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: equates to.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Right, Maybe he has some new vehicle that we don't
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: even know about. They gets you there quicker without.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Even havingcraft m hm, hovercraft.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Underground teleportation todd father to get these deals done. But
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: you were on with us last night. We did a
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: little breaking news, and I just always picture the cocktail
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: in hand, sitting back in the lounge chair, like all right,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: I'm good because you're feeling a little better late at night.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: If you're one of those billionaires.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you just sit back.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: No matter what time it was, wherever they were at.
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: I think the opportunity arose. They had these you know,
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: calling battles back and forth, trying to figure out, you
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: know how much, how many years and once it's all
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: said and done, Like I said yesterday, I think Steve
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Collen made out like a bandit. I honestly did. He
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: He worked like any businessman did. He worked his magic,
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: he goes, he played leverage. He understood that you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: maybe Pete didn't have that many teams on his tail.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: If maybe one other team, and he said, you know what,
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: you're gonna need to take this and leave it pretty much.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: And they tried for three years for seventy one and
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: that didn't work, and they got to two years for
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: fifty four million with a k opt out after the
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: first year.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: So time was running short, time was running thin.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: So you got to make a decision as a player,
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: as an agent, you know, and as a business owner.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: But I do think Steve Cohen made it out on top.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: You bring up an interesting point, So let's charge the
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: damn maun because we're gonna spend ten minutes on this
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: pet A Lionzo returned to the New York Mets charge
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: about the Mets are rich, but they are not going
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: to negotiate against themselves. So there's the news. You got
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: two years opt out after year one. He had the
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: choice of the three seventy one or the two fifty four.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: You're like, why would he take two fifty four? That's
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: less than Christian Walker even goten guaranteed years on the market.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Walker of course did three years sixty but Kratz he
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: gets thirty years or thirty million in year one, so
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: he gets the most money in this case, and then
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: can hop back into the market. I think about the
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Chris Davis situation from years back, when the Orioles were
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: either the only ones or definitely by far the highest bidders,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: and he wanted to go back there, but that one
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: lasted for a while and he got even more money
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: out of it, and I think the Mets were like, yeah,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: we're not going to play like that. They did have
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: to push the chips to the table and say, if
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: you really have something at a larger level, We're okay
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: with Mark Fiantos at first base. You always have to
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: have that risk involved, and clearly David Stearns was okay
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: with that.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: It's a bold move, but it's also like, yeah, I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: think how many first basement ever been paid thirty million
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: dollars a year to exclusively.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: First base two?
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: So do you know who they are?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: He got up? He got it was motto pete.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: And there's only one other Pete. I'm counting Pete. There's
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: only one other that's that's gotten thirty million in a season.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Anyone know?
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Aj do you know thirty million in one season?
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Like an aav of thirty million or more?
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Because ready is it?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Freddy?
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: No, it's not Freddy.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I thought it was I thought it was Fridfield.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Maggie, Oh, Maggie, Maggie. Maggie's at thirty one a year
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: on that last deal. And Pete, if you're just saying
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: he's going to get this one year, is getting thirty,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: which is the second most ever for a free agent
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: first baseman in one season.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: And Jim Bowden said, Jim Bones coming on later, he said,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: he wants Scott Goes in like two different three different wavelengths,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: like he wants the longest term, he wants the largest
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: overall contract.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: He wants some type of AAV.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Now he can say, hey, I got Pete the second
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: most ever for a single season, second most AAV for
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a single season for a first baseman, which pushes all
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: first baseman salaries up.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: So good for Pete in that sense. And you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I think that's.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Where the whole choosing the two year deal over the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: three year deal because both had opt outs after the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: first year, but the other one would have given him
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: twenty seven million AJ.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Do you think Petes okay after all of this? Psychologically?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I think he's fine. Psychologically, I think he's disavointed doing
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: what he got. I mean one year. Thirty is great,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: but he was. We were going in this offseason talking
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: about him getting like two hundred million, remember, and he
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: got thirty four. Now he's guess what he's got to do.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: He's got to go out and bang this year and
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: he's got to absolutely rake this year if he wants
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to get back into free agency next year. Now, I
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: think if you look at the free agents next year,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a weaker class. But he's
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a year older and first baseman just don't get paid.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: And there's competition too. Next year's flatty Junior Naylor. I
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: haven't gone through the deeper end of the list, but
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: there are going to be. I don't think free agents.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think next year's class is as good. I
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: know for Scott Morris is not, but I don't think
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it's as good as it was this year. This year
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: was a pretty solid class.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah it was. And the numbers game, you know, Todd father,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: since we spoke last night, so he needed to beat
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: six years, one hundred and thirty seven and a half million.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Even though the offer is bigger, you got to count
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: the twenty and a half that he got from this
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: past season when we're comparing the offer from two years ago,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: which was one fifty whatever. Okay, So now when we
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: factor in the thirty million he's making this year, he
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: needs to get to five years one no seven point
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: five or basically the rest of his career to not
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: regret taking the deal from two years ago. You know what,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: It sounds crazy, but it's actually still possible. Christian Walker's
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: three or more years older than him and he got sixty.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: So if Pete goes out and crushes it, it's not
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: out of the realm of possibility that he can get
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: himself a little five year, one ten piece and be
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: good or you know what I'm saying, like he can
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: get close to.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: That now when they gave him that offer. Who was
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Boris's agent at the time or was he not?
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Now Boris wasn't his agent, and Stearns wasn't running the
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Mets front office.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: So you can't even say anything about you know, if
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: I'm Pete Alonzo complaining about, well you were my agent,
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: then you know what, why did you tell me this?
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: So it's it's not back and forth battle man. I've
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: been there before, but with not as much money. Don't
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: get me wrong, but you know when some people are saying, now,
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: this is what you're supposed to get, and then people
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: are off in you two of the same amounts from
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: other teams, and it's by far not even close of
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: what you are supposed to get from what you know
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: people are telling you, and it's frustrating. In the back
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: of his mind, he's happy, he's glad, he's set for life,
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: of course, but you know, knowing Pete, he'll be fine,
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: but you know, there's still going to be a little
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: more so in the back of your mind saying you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: you know, did I get the old screw here?
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: So hopefully he blocks that out and goes and plays.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: But everybody's human. You know, people are human. They're allowed
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: to be upset over things. But it's that factor of understanding. Listen,
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: didn't work out, but I still I'm still getting paid,
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: I'm still playing for the team I wanted to, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: hopefully I go out and have a really good year.
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: So I can, you know, shove it in their face
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: and say, you know what, yeah, you want me back,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: guess what two three other teams want me for this price.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: I'm out here, you know what I mean. Hopefully we'll
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: see what happens.
• 8:59

  Speaker 3: for free. That's the Ft Deals that we're always looking
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: out for. Go to one eight hundred flowers dot com
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: slash ft that's one eight hundred flowers dot com slash
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: ft AJ. There's two things I want to push your
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: way from that. One is you go three years ago,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Pete Alonso had a one forty six ops plus that's
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: dominance monster, top ten bat the two seasons since then,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: one twenty three, one twenty three, twenty three percent better
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: than the league average. Very good, very solid, but it's
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: not the one forty six same with So they're they're
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: comparing Pete to Christian Walker, even though there's an age
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: difference in saying Christian Walker's ops plus comps the last
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: three years or one twenty five, two, one twenty one.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: So they're like, you're basically the same bat, and Walker
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: is the sickest, if not one of the top first
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: base gloves in the game. Fan grafts war the last
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: three seasons, says Walker at ten point eight p tot
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: eight point seven. I'd rather Repete, but I'm just saying
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: this is what plays against him, and then he goes back.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: And I also want you to give me your thoughts
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: on this part, because actually the spiciest part of last
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: night's show that we did breaking news was Eric Kratz saying, cool,
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: welcome back Pete. But the Mets are a third place team.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Well, that's Kratz's Homerism coming through.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: So we we know Krats isn't gonna give the Mets
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: any credit. Let's not forget that. We know, we know
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: he's gonna be go full Homerism. I can't argue with
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: him actually on that one, because I think it's gonna
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: be an interesting run. I think it's gonna be an
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: interesting run in the NLS depending on who stays healthy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: But the pitching staff stays the healthiest.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: But as far as the Christian Walker thing goes, the
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: numbers are the numbers, and that's what teams look at.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Now you can say he's a great clubhouse guy, and man,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: he really fits in.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: He's gonna help your young guys.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: The teams go his ops plus and his war is
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: loose than Christian Walker.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Why should we pay him more?
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: The only team that he means more than those numbers
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: two are the New York Mets, because no other team
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: knows Peter Alonzo. The Mets know Pee Alonzo. So again
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: he wanted to be in New York. The fans wonned
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: him in New York. And he's back for one year,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: could be two. I mean, unless he just has a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: disaster year, he's gonna opt out and try again. So
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: it's a one year deal for Pete. He got thirty million.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Good for him, good luck to be a good year
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: to hit fifty homers again.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: I don't I mean, looking at the projected lineup, I
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: know we could pop that up there, you know, if
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: if you're looking top five guys, I mean you got
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: you at the bottom.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Of the lineup. That whoa I don't know. I don't know.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: I mean from the years past. And you know Jeff
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: McNeil I talked about he needs to pick it back
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: up a little bit. If he's the Jeff McNeil old,
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: you can pencil him in for another good year, you know,
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: Winker Alvarez and Siri you got to step up. Listen,
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: Mark Ventos had a really good year. I'm not knocking
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: the guy, but you know, it's only one year. Let's
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: see if he can repeat that too as well. They
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: do have some guys that are coming up that are
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: are coming up that have played before too. Uh that
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Kratzy was talking about I'll let him get his skin
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: in the game too here. But you know, if you're
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: looking at this lineup, it's an okay lineup. It's half helf,
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: a good lineup at the end of the day, and
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: they're gonna have to work their butts off. And you
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: know they have good starting pitching, good starting pitching. Uh,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: their relief they need some more relief. They need some
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: better relief pitching too as well. So there's a lot
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: that still needs work done. Is Steve gonna go out
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: there and get some more guys?
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: I think they've done a lot this offseason, But yeah,
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: I mean it looks like an okay team to me.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: They're gonna they're gonna make some noise, but they're gonna
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: need some help in the bottom of that lineup.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you hit it, you hit everything on the head.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: They have the depth to me in the lineup they
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: don't have. They don't have guys like you just can't
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: run a Team's kind of like they're starting rotation. You
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: can't run a team on the fact of well, if
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: this guy I hope he does I can't he should
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: do this. Like you look at McNeil's projections. Mc meels
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: projected at you know, one hundred ops guy, one hundred
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: ops plus guy.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: You look at.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Josey Series, a below average hitter. You look at Alvarez.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: To me, Alvarez's value he should hit eighth the entire season.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: His value is all behind the dish, the energy that
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: he brings if he hits twenty homers for you, behind
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: a dish, you're talking about an all star catcher. Like,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of potential in the bottom of the lineup,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: but the top is definitely solidified. To me, I don't
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: even think the bottom of the lineup is the is
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the Achilles Heel for them, because I think there's so
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: many guys. I don't think Jesse Winkers are going to
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: DH every day. There's so many guys that are going
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: to have an opportunity to get hot and play and
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: win in this team because this team wants to win.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: The biggest issue is going to be how that rotation
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: holds up, because then that'll dictate how the a little
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: bit beleiaguered bullpen holds up. If they have to be
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: leaned on all year the bullpen, it's gonna be tough
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough for.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, how is aj Minter going to do?
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Is Clay Holme's going to be able to kick it
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: in the starting rotation. If not, that's fine. That's actually
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: a really nice bullpen piece for them to be able
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: to have in the mix that I think could be
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: needed standings back. I mean, they did a lot. They
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: did a lot this offseason. They built a little more
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: outfield depth because they always deal with injuries like a
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Starling Marte who's not gonna be on the field a
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: ton It's just that point of the career for him.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: So we'll see. But I'm with you, I think the
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: starting rotation, just like last year's the biggest question mark.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: And last year the reason that it carried them to
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: the playoffs and then a run is because those dudes
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: had freaking standout seasons. Season of his life. For Manaiah Severino,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: huge bounce back. So can they be the pitching whispers again?
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: I don't feel the same way about Montas. I think
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: we all have documented that throughout the offseason, So we'll see.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I like the team. I could easily see
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: them finishing in third, But I do think they're a
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: wild card team at least, and they would be a
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: problem in the playoffs. On the move, I like this
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: and we had many many options to choose from with
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: our boy Tommy Fam So we showed him in a
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Royals uniform just now, but he signs with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Apparently it came together pretty quickly. It was reported this
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: morning by Katie Wu from Cardinal Territory and the Athletic,
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: along with FT senior insider Ken Rosenthal, also part of
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: the Athletic. So FAM's got one year four million bucks
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: to Todd Father's favorite team, the Pittsburgh Pirates. Todd Father,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: does this put the Pirates over the top and into
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: the postseason.
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: I'm looking at Kratz's face. I want to see what
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: he thought about that. I know it doesn't. I think
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: they'll be a good team with Paul Skins and the
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: team that they do have.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: They find ways to lose games though. Yeah.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: I love Tommy Fam though. Man, he's a pickup that
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: any with love. He's energetic, he's got that swag, you
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: know how he talks, and he's just he's all about
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: team stuff and he puts people in their place when
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: they're not working hard. I think an organization like the
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: Pirates needs a guy like him because he's gonna call
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: some people out in a good way, constructively and make
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: sure you know everybody's doing their job, and hopefully that
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: brings the team together. But nice little solid pickup for
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Tommy Fam and the Pirates and hopefully he can change
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: that organization around a little bit.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Hold up, did you just say the Pirates are a
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: good team with what they have?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: You know, they finished the last place, they finished the
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: last place last year, and they added Tommy Fam.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: No offense to Tommy Fam. But he's not putting it
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: into the World Series with one move.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, I love this with the Pirates because you
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: know what they're gonna do with Tommy Fam.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: They're gonna trade him in July.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Like the like happened with the White Sox last year,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: like what happened the year before that and the year
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: before that and the year before that.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I think it's I.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Think this is a move that more teams should make.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I think, uh, you know, lower revenue teams like the Marlins,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the Rockies, the White Sox. You sign these veteran guys
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: these one year deals and then you hope they have
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: a great start, and you know what you do. You
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: flip them and then your prospect comes up and finishes
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: off the year, and then you get something back in return.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know why more teams don't do this.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Pirates have kind of started to become that team where
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: guys go to and then hopefully get flipped. But we'll
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: see what happens with Tommy. We love Tommy. I love Tommy,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: so wish them the best. Yeah, Tommy, welcome to the
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: ten big league team threshold. Very small group of people
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: that have played playing for that many teams. But call
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: me when you hit fourteen organizations. All right, I have
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to get a few triple A contracts. I don't think
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: you got it in you yet. Tell me, but we'll see.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: All right, So let's define where we have the Pirates
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: and what's good here? Todd father, so he's five hundred good.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: I could see them being a little over five hundred
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: this year.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Here's the lineup? What are we thinking? So I actually
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: think this lineups? I mean it's not great, but it's okay.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: I mean there's to me, there's not superstar bats. There's
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: actually the first half of the lineup featuring like good bats.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Fam is going to give you, I would say at
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: least kind of league average offense and quality of bats
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: at the top. Reynolds and Cruise are the two best
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: bats on the team, but they're not like one forty
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: oh ps plus guys. Right, They're not superstar bats. They're
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: above average bats. Cutches okay, and again gives you a
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: quality of bats, not who you want cleaning up. Joey
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Bart I would actually say is probably an average bat
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: based on what he did with them last year. Spencer Horwitz,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: they're very high on. I haven't seen much of him,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: Nick Gonzales, Kee, Brian Hayes, and ikf is definitely a
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: softer seven eight nine all right, So actually I take
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: it back. I would say below average lineup. I would
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: say the rotation is average because you've got an ace
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: and then you've got some youngsters in Jared Jones. I
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: guess Keller's a vet at this point there, and the
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: back end of the rotation is okay, i'd put. So
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna give their lineup a C. I'm gonna give
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: their rotation a B, and I'm gonna give their bullpen
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: a C minus. I actually think Bennard was really bad
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: last year and there's not a lot of punch. You
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: look at that bullpen, You're like, it's not great. So yeah,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I'm actually lower on them once I actually start looking
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: at everything. What do you think?
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: No, yeah, I was just gonna say, you're you keep
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: bringing that OPS plus on there.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: I'm an I test guy. Man, the numbers are are
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: going to be the numbers, like can these can this
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: guy play? O'Neil Cruz can play, Brian Reynolds can play.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: We'll see what McCutcheon can do. I mean, I'm not
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying they're gonna be great by all means,
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: but I do see them. You know, when they come together,
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: they get on these little runs and then they you know,
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: they'll win seven eight games in a row. So I
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: see them a little bit over five hundred this year
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: playing together as a team.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: You better bet a lot of money on that because
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: they're over under. It's not I mean, if you if
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: you think that's true, you better put you better put
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the ranch down on that kid, because you can we know,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: what do we know about it?
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: What do you mean? I don't know what the number is.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but I know that I know that
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: They're not projected to be five hundred. I know that.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I know they're probably a seventy five win team on Pakoda,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: maybe seventy seven as a max. I mean, Skeens, can
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: he do it for a whole year, to be his
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: first full year right, doing it from start to finish,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: no restrictions. Jones was hurt last year. Keller's been up
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: and down. Bryan Renalds nice player, O'Neill Cruz hasn't proved
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: he can do it. McCutcheon's howell thirty eight, thirty nine. Now,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: Joey Bart was a bust in San Francisco, struggling, had
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: a nice run in Pittsburgh.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: You know some of these other I just I don't know.
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Especially the Cubs are going to be better, The Red
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: should be better. The Brewers are still the Brewers. Yeah,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals are down, But are they better than any
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: other team in their division?
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: For me, no, that's it looks like in the in
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: the high midd eye seventies, like seventy seven and a
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: half range.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I think they finished about the cargo. Okay, you do
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: what's fair. I do.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Cardinal's starting pitching. Wait wait till you look at the
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Cardinals starting pitching, whoa, whoa baby, But.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: The rest, I mean they have a better bullpen and
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: probably a better offense.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Still today they have a better bullpen. Hellsley is not
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: going to be there the whole year. He gone Ernado.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I feel like he still gets moved. Maybe I'm wrong
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: on that, but I just think I think the Pirates
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: just have too much. They just don't have an identity.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Nothing against Joey Bart, but I don't think he's going
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: to be the starter. I think Rodriguez is coming back
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and he'll take that role again. More athletic back there
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: gets a lot done. Bart earned himself some more at
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: bats this year from last season. But I just think,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: what's the Pirates identity? Are they a defensive pitching team,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: then you don't put Tommy fam and sign him and
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: put him out in the right field. Are they a
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: are they an all offensive team? Then where's your MVP
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: candidate in that lineup? Like you have to have some
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: type of identity and I don't feel like they have
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: that right now.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: We'll do this during a break here from the TV crowd,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: but for the YouTube crowd, just because I don't think
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: there's a Ton to add, but at least not from us,
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: but aj all you here there was an article about
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: the Rays and the Saint Pete Mayor and the headline
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: was that the Tampa Bay Times I think it was,
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: is that they're ready to move on without the club
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: because they're battling over these extra costs, you know, from
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: the delays, and I guess they're figuring out how to
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: split it and who's paying for it and all that,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: and it just seems to go on and on.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Man for real, Yeah, front up of Sports I think
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: his name is Welch.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Mayor Welch and and Sat Pete came out and basically said, yeah,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: we're ready to move on if you can't figure this out.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: And if we've talked about in here, March thirty first
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: is the big deadline. We'll find out more here in
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks, but March thirty first is
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: when Sternberg has to put up the money or go away, basically,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and if he doesn't have the money by then to
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: match the bonds, the bonds go away. Now they could
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: extend it for sixty ninety days. I don't know if
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: that changes much, but I love you know, there's some
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: people on Twitter battling over this about this and that.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: But you know, oh the razor in elease until twenty
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: eight or twenty nine.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Great. You know what that tells me?
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: That's three years for Orlando to get their stuff together,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: build a stadium which they can do, move them to
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Orlando if Sternberg can't do it. And I'm not saying
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, I'm just saying Orlando has a lot
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: of things going for it. Public funding, private funding, they found.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Trust me, there's a lot going on in the Orlando space.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's gonna happen, but if it doesn't
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: get you know, this is you know what this is
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: to me? This is no one wants to be the
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: politician that loses a sports team from their town. This
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: is the mayor of Saint Pete saying, listen, we've thrown
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: everything we can at them. We funded it, we we've
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: given them the land, we've found the land, We've given
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: them all these things, and they won't play ball with us.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: He's like, I'm giving up. So now he's basically throwing
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: it back on the racing.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: It's in the ball, is in your core because we've
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: done everything we can and if they leave, it's not
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: my fault as mayor.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Right, and they want them to just acknowledge the agreement
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: they already came to terms on, which seems very fair.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: But it does sound like there is a clock on
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: this one because they want it resolved, and MLB is
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: getting tougher with these situations because I do believe they
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: want expansion. I think Manford wants to at least announce
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: expansion before he's done right, and they're going to add
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: two teams and they've loved They're not going to do
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: that unless they settle the situations. I mean, you can
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: make the case that neither situation settled yet with the
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: a's and the Rays. But it's been the same talk
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: for like twenty years. So I do feel like there's
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: a legit deadline coming soon.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: Perfect picture for Randy Johnson. That's how he looks when
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: he wakes up every morning and stares at the mirror.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: How good was he?
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: Randy Johnson was a crazy wild man on the mound,
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: literally wild for a while in the beginning of his career,
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: and they were like, can this dude koralic? Because if
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: he can, he's going to be a legend, and that's
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: what turned out to be the case for him. Super tall,
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: strikeout machine. So let's run through some stats and then
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: we'll get the personal experiences from you guys. How good
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: was Randy Johnson? He won five cy Young Awards, including
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: racking him up back to back to back to back
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: nineteen ninety nine through two thousand and two. He was
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: a World Series coll MVP twenty two years in the show,
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: ten time all star average season, was a close to
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: six win player in a low threes era, led the
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: league in strikeouts nine times, pitched a perfect game in
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: two thousand and four. He was quite tall, and there
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: were quite a few kind of mythic whole experiences that
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: he had in baseball. We'll get into a Hall of
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: Famer inducted in twenty fifteen. He pitched until he was
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: forty six years old. So, AJ, you want to kick
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: it first, your Randy Johnson experiences and how ridiculous he was?
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Am I the only person that faced him on here? Todd,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: did you face him? Nope? Cratch, you faced him? Oh?
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: So I faced him when he was with the Yankees.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I got one game against so I think I went
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: over three maybe punched once, but he wasn't the same
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Randy Johnson when I faced him. Obviously he was older,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: and he was still throwing at six ten. Imagine Chris
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Sale at six ten instead of six' four throwing it
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: from literally the first base. Dugout it was, crazy, uh you,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: know and interesting at bat was crazy. Wild he would
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: do some crazy, things you, know kind of had that
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: pedro temper where every once in a while he'd let
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: one fly over your. Head BUT i will say, this
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: he was a great. Pitcher the only GUY i ever
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: asked in my life to sign an autograph said.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: No, WOW i Need.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: That's. Fine but, STILL i mean there's, Yeah i'm sure
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: there's other.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: People BUT i mean if your worst enemy came up
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: to you and, said, hey will you sign a jersey
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: for me AND i and they had the, jersey you
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: would still do it out of respect for them being
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: a major league. PLAYER i don't, KNOW i don't know
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: what happened long of. Us it's too long of, us.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Okay so it's. Simple and when we were In, tucson

  Speaker 4: Know it was just a.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Weird it was. Weird that is.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Weird Tod, father your experience Watching randy and hearing no,
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: matter one.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: Of the most imposing figures you'll see on the. MOUND i,
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: mean with his. Stature he just got up there and
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: threw it as hard as. Good the ONE i.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: Remember you, know he probably doesn't. Like mark McGuire hit
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: that home run off him At Seattle's Old. PARK i
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: forget what it was called absolute, messile but that was
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: probably the only time someone took him that far.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: Deep but he was, unbelievable one of the nastiest.
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: Sliders anybody who has ever talked about him says they
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: couldn't see the ball until it was in the. Glove
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: and then he throw that slider and you the all
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: right handers basically falling over the other side of the.
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: Plate fun to, watch and he just gripped it and ripped.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: It and that's old school at its Finest hall Of
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: famer for, Sure AND i Wish i'm. JEALOUS i WISH
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: i got to face them one time Because i'd liked
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: hitting off left handed.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Pitchers there's very few guys that you, know you hear
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: old time guys talk about even When barry was, on
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: like you hit one, homer they're gonna walk you three,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: times or they're gonna throw over your. Head he, Said, now,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: guys don't do. That you're right, Now guys throw you,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: know one hundred miles an. Hour everybody looks comfortable in the.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Box there is an aspect to not being comfortable in the.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Box and clearly the numbers that he put up were
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: making hitters. Uncomfortable when you talk about early in his,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: career he had one hundred and twenty one hundred and
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: fifty two and one hundred and forty four walks leading the.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: League so he had that by his age twenty eight.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Season then he started to figure it. Out drop down
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: to ninety nine, walks drop down the seventy two, walks
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: and he started striking out three hundred plus. Dudes the
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: WAY i look at it is everybody in The Big
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: league has. Talent the elite guys have more, talent and
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: they can play through. Things when you play until you're
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: forty six years. Old when you lead the league at
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: thirty eight years old in, strikeouts, sorry at forty years,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: old he led the league again in, strikeouts it just
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: shows this dude was playing at a different. Level and
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: so when you start to, decline now you're just coming
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: down to the. Pack you're not, like, oh you, Know
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: i'm much worse than everybody. Else you're just coming back
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: down to. REALITY i, mean some of the. Numbers anytime
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: you look at a guy's baseball reference page and it's
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of bold and some, italics which means season,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: leader career, leader all that. Stuff Randy johnson's got a
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: ton of. Bold probably one of the top five pitchers
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: of all.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Time all.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Right by the, WAY i gotta say, THIS i, believe
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: AND i might be wrong in. This he gave up
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: back to back to back homers in two thousand and
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: five against The White, sox maybe the only. Time i'm
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: pretty sure it's the only time in his career he did.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: It BUT i just looked it up yet A Gucci
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Rowan canerico three home runs in a. Row let's just
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: say he wasn't very happy about.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: That that's why he wouldn't sign for, you BECAUSE i didn't.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: PLAY i didn't play in that. Game now this WAS i,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: MEAN i had nothing to do with. IT i didn't.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: PLAY i didn't play against until way later than. That
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: BUT i, mean, YEAH i MEAN i did see it.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Happen he wasn't very, happy but.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Four, times four times in a. Row he wanted to, say,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: young think about that right.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Now he Was he was.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Awesome he was.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Awesome do you think that there are certain legends and
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: sports that have an excuse to kind of be a?
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Jerk Right like some people would, say, like OH mj
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: he was so competitive that that he was a jerk
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: about certain.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Things, OKAY i mean that's a.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Reason that's not an. Excuse that doesn't that doesn't enable
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: you to be a. JERK i just think you live
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: in a different you live in a different. WORLD i
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: don't think anybody understands what it's like to Be Randy.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Johnson and that's, fine so, like but he doesn't have
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: to take it out on everybody else like He like
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: some some superstars are. Introverts they don't want the, attention
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: they don't want somebody calling to ask for for their.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Autograph but it's part of like where like it's like
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: a it's a mutual respect for the other humans that
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: you're in a sport.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: With AND i DON'T i just don't. THINK i don't.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: THINK i don't think there's a place for. It but
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: OBVIOUSLY i was as high up As Randy johnson. WAS
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: i was down, here so AND i get that but
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: on the level of human, beings we're still both human.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Beings so to, me that's WHERE i think everybody should
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: be treated treated fairly and.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Respectfully, well if it's just LIKE i hate the, World Todd,
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: fowler SO i want to strike everyone, out And i'm
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: gonna have to be mean and just sacrifice my character
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: because this is me and this is How i'm at my.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: BEST i don't. KNOW i, Mean i'm probably just creating
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: an excuse for, him BUT i can't get. INSIDE i
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: do remember that. Part, yeah he even he even heard a.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Bird that was what The All Star game in spring
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: training and? Training, oh spring, training spring, Training, yeah The
• 34:43

• 34:57
  Speaker 3: i'm not getting paid extra for this. GAME i don't
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: really want to be. Here this dude's throwing out my
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: head a. Hondo that's what the.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: All that's what The that's what The Pro bowls turned.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Into now his left handed hitters hitting from the right
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: side Like Larry walker did Against Randy.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Johnson, yeah The Pro bowl is definitely not not for
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: competition for. Competitors, yeah all, right well that's our thoughts
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: On Randy. Johnson if you're catching this out forget back.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Without the without i, mean minus the.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Story, listen this dude was awesome on the maw when
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: he took them out and he figured it.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Out ask. Anybody he was one of the toughest of
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: bats for. Lefties, Right he's.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Deserve to be a first Bout hall Of amer at
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: three hundred wins all the Cy Young's, listen this guy was,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: incredible better than ninety nine point nine percent of the
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: players in.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: History so he was.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Great fact twenty five twenty five hundred strikeouts in one,
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: league twenty three hundred in the other.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: League that is, crazy that's crazy. Work.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah we had A Nolan ryan quote you said in
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: the early nineties that he Told randy he could be
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: the most dominating pitcher in baseball if he would just
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: work on his. Game he was a lot like me
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: WHEN i was. Younger he was just pitching and doing
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: a lot of. Thinking did you guys for the catchers
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: experience tall dudes sometimes who struggled more to figure out
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: the control and like figure out their body and then
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: eventually would get it. DOWN i, mean, actually in modern,
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: TIMES i can think of at least one. Example Tyler
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: glass now was supposed to be the next big, thing
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: and it took him a. Minute and he's pretty close
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: To randy's.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Height it's like, tall it's like tall.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Hitters anytime your mechanics have a chance to break, down
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have a tougher time being. Consistent Randy johnson
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: probably just throw a ball one hundred miles an hour
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: forever when he was a. Kid how does that, mechanic
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: how does it do his mechanics not break? Down when
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: you have so many levers and levers and elbows and
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: knees coming at, you you have to condense your. Mechanics
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: you have to make them smaller and shorter because of
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: how tall and long everything. Is and you see you
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: see it a lot with. Pictures you see it a
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: lot with really tall. Pictures and some of the best
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: really tall pictures THAT i caught had this like short,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: stride short arm from a really high. Angle John, Ross Chris,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: young the six' ten kid that was from a super
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: nice kid From, the rays got a cup of coffee
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: in the, big leagues they shortened up. Their stroke they
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: shortened up their stride and everything and their arms swing
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: because it just was so inconsistent trying to find that same.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Release point.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Golfers don't see a lot Of tall that's why you
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: don't see a lot of. Tall golfers they can a
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: lot of tall golfers can mash, the ball but they
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: have a hard time repeating because it's such a long
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: long levers.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: And so many things to get.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: In sync it's it's one of THE like, i said
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: most golfers now, there are but most golfers are.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Fairly short it's almost like when people came up with
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: some of, these sports they, were. Shorter right baseball's how?
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Old now you mean? Like, history, yeah, YEAH yeah i.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: Mean they didn't have all these freaking six to eight
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: monsters walking around. Back then people have. Gotten taller it's,
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: a thing. All right So That's. Randy johnson we've been
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: doing this series for a Minute, Each Row, barry bonds.
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: Et cetera if there's someone we should, talk about let
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: us Know that i'm jam over under over. For Me
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: tarrek schoogle two hundred and eleven and a. Half strikeouts
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: does anyone have under on? This number and if, they
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: do you can go. First pitcher strikeouts for the season,
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: are tough, AND really i think with most guys you're
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: playing the injury. Guessing game strider last year had a
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: number that most people probably looked at, and said, Oh
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: Man spencer strider in, his prime. No problem but he
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: got hurt and that's where you get. Beaten here anyone
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: have an Under on schoobles to eleven and? A, half
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: hey J why.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take around two HUNDRED because i Think with,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: FLARITY back i Think the tigers are going to be
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: better and there might be a starter or to where
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: he's a little sore and they.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Skip, them, so yeah two twenty eight, last year it's
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: not that many starts he has to miss in order
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: to be under. Two Eleven so i'm gonna put him around.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: TWO hundred i.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: WOULD agree i would agree because also there might be
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: a little bit slower. Ramp up he pitched all the Way.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Into october this is a guy that, Hadn't, pitched yeah
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: hadn't pitched but one season in his career before that
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: where he had twenty nine or. More starts he had
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: thirty one plus, The Postseason so i'm. GOING under i
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: do think he eclipses the two hundred, mark though because
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: he's a competitive dude and he's going to see one
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: seventy eight nine one nineties and he's gonna, Be like
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: i'm going to get two HUNDRED because i just.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: WANT It Hm, todd father which way?
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: YOU going I would i would say. THE over i
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: would say the.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: Over again you bring up a good point health maybe
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: taking a skip and a start and knowing that they're in,
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: the playoffs that kind.
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: Of DEAL but i would say two, fifteen range. Two, Twenty.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah i'm in the. SAME range i could see a
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: two twenty. ISH piece i just think he's super, confident
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: TOO and i think he's gonna build off what he did.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: LAST year i think he was kind of still learning
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: what works for him as he was going through, last,
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: season because like, krat said he hasn't pitched a, ton
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: right he hasn't been consistently putting up innings. Like THAT
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: but i do, think that, you know the less wear
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: and tear on the arm now will be to his
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: benefit in this portion of. His, career hey you can
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: bet on a player to find the end zone and
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: win a share of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: Bonus bets if they end up scoring the longest touchdown
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: In The big game coming up, this weekend you got
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: to place at least a ten dollars or more anytime
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: touchdown wager. More concerned i'll win it one, hundred gambling, All.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: RIGHT so i.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: Got many i'm putting, them together as you guys have been.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: Talking here but we'll take One. From Instagram so, kratz
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: Said the mets are a third place team and none
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: of us think you're crazy for, THE record, i mean
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: the braves Of the phillies are. REALLY good i think
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: it's less and knock On the mets and more praise
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: for the other. Two clubs but It was Nick on
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: instagram with, a Comment the mets are the only team
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: who can bring back the same team and add A
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: future Hall of fame player and people think they will. Be, worse.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: Okay they Brought Back. Luis sevarina like, you're like you weren't?
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: YOU were, i mean you look at it's another case,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: of like are you buying what they did at the
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: end of the year or was that start just a,
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: you know it.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Was fake it wasn't a real start. To me they,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: have questions and we kind of broke.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: It down not gonna break down the whole, roster again
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: but there's, Pieces, that yes they brought these, guys back.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: They still have those holes that they're that they need.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: To fill.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: And they were one pitch away from being ousted out of.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: The playoffs they were one loss away at the end
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: of the season from not making, the playoffs And the
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: diamondbacks make it after that doubleheader Against. THE braves, i mean,
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: if somebody if somebody has a legitimate argument, for THAT
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: like i would love to. See it like, TO me
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: i Thought the diamondbacks were a better team Than.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: The mets.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: If they played another week of, the season Would the
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: mets have gotten Overtaken? BY diamondbacks i don't, think so
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Because the diamondbacks started a struggle at the end of,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: the season and he kind of saw it because they
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: could Not Pitch EXHIBIT exhibit b twenty. Twenty, five mets
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: how are they? Gonna pitch can you do the same
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: thing with? Reclamation Projects is senga gonna pitch five games
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: more than the two that he threw? Last year are
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: you Gonna get frankie MONTAS of.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: I.

• 49:11
  Speaker 3: before free agency in addition to getting a salary. Cap
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: floor would that help convince players to get a.
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: Salary cap that'd be, a start be, A start but
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: there you have to be more.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: To it you have to have Open like, aj said
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: you have to have open communication in a way to
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: show what your entire entity That the, cardinals make That the,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: braves make like, all that and you have to be
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: able to show all. Those, books now they do show,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: the books and that's one of the other reasons that people.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Don't remember don't think. About it players see. These books
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: people On The, players association the, union meetings you see.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: The books you cannot put them. Out there they're. Confidential
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: information and you have to reduce. Free agency you have
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: to reduce the amount of time that a player is
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: allowed to be controlled by. A team those would be
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: the largest largest hurdles that teams will never get.
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: Rid of, Next question, jay asks Who's the padres opening day.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: Left fielder that's actually a. Tough one, RIGHT now i

• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Doesn't, strike out doesn't, strike out doesn't walk, a ton
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: but he gets hit, a ton so he'll have that on.

  Speaker 1: braves right so it's Gonna be chris sail In the
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: mountain For.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: The braves so there's not gonna be a left. Handed

  Speaker 3: all right let's finish with this last baseball. Topic here
• 55:42
  Speaker 3: it's playing Off the. Padres conversation there Was some. Mets
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: talk Can the mets put a cherry on top in
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: their off season And Grab DYLAN cease i? Need money in,
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: THE chat i, Was like I'd Love, starling Marte but
• 55:56
  Speaker 3: i'd rather. Keep, seased, Well yeah marte is not getting.
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: IT done, i, mean sure they could throw him in
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: a package and eat most of the money because it's
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: a money dump For, the padres but they're gonna want,
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: some serious long. Term talent so what does that look
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: Like For? San diego can you can you create a
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: trade where you solve some long and short. Term problems
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: can you give them an outfielder Like A starling marte
• 56:22
  Speaker 3: and then also supplement it With A, jet williams who's their,
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: top prospect who can play kind of everywhere and probably
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: get a call up maybe later, this season or maybe
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: a pitcher Like A. BRANDON sprout i think there's a.
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: Fit Here the mets actually have enough of a, farm
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: System right i'm getting some Other names Mauricio can mauricio
• 56:46

• 57:08
  Speaker 3: Right they just NEED a i mean a team to
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: take at least a little bit of.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: The money cease would do it.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: For me cease would definitely push them to the upper
• 57:17
