  Speaker 3: a sweater because they have that's like the one good
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: thing that hockey has over every sport. They call their
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: jersey sweaters. You know who's watching. I have to give
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: him a shout out. Big fan of the show, Jordan.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I met him last night at my son's college college.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: He was a security guard at the college reception. He
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: went to big FT fan. But I'm not going to
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: say his last name because he called our show by
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: the wrong name. So he knows, he knows who he is. Wow,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: So he's as such a big fan. He called the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: show by the wrong name. He got nervous because he
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: wanted me to tell you he absolutely loves every one
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: of AJ's takes.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: AJ's the man nice.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: And we also agreed for the first time ever AJ,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: that we're all rooting for the same team tonight. We
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: all feel the same. That's cool.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for what Scott, You're not rooting against him. That's enough.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: That's enough. By the way, you want to hear you,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: guys want to hear an awesome sweater story about you.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Guys know who Stan Mkita was. Stan Mkita is was.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: He's passed away in the past. He was an all
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: time Chicago Blackhawks fan, our player, right, and his numbers
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: are tired up in the rafters in the United Center.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: And I was in. It was twenty ten when the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Blackhawks won the Cup for the first time in like forever,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and I'm standing there, I'm talking to him and I've
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: known him, I've met him, played some golf of him
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: in the past. And he says, he's in a suit
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and tie, right, And we all have our Blackhawks sweaters
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: they gave us with our names on the back, the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: whole deal. And I said, Stan, I go, why are
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you in a suit and tie? Why aren't you wearing
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: your sweater? It just points like this and I go, yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: he goes, you see what's up there in the rafters, kid?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: He said, yeah, he goes, it's hard to wear it
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: when it's hanging in the rafters. Okay, you win, You win, brother,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you win. Nice. Oh that's epic. Hard to wear Scott,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: when it's hanging in the rafters.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: That is true. One more thing before we dive in.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: It's also a big day because there's baseball being played.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: It doesn't count, but we have things to watch besides
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Junior Cam and Naro ripping it in the Winter League.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: So that's cool. Dodgers Cubs. Some people that are catching this.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: By the time they catch this, the game will already
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: have happened, or the game is happening. So there you go.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Why are the Dodgers and Cubs playing before everyone else?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: That's so unfair. The Dodgers get everything because they're playing
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: earlier this season than everyone else, and so are the Cubs.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: They're playing in Tokyo and those games will count later
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: this month. Why A, you're shaking your.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Head because they're playing first. Because Major League Baseball loves the.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Dodgers, that's right, and we at FT love all teams.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: That's why we're visiting most of them, the ones that
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: are nice to us on our spring training tour. And
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: we have a calendar to show that off. So ooh,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: they have a reveal next week. We begin with the Orioles,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: will be in Sarasota, then Pirates Camp, Yankees Camp, Cardinals Camp,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Mets Camp Tuesday through Friday. Camp. Wait, you'll have some
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: of those shows featuring not only one, but two FT
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: hosts at one camp. That'll be new for the first
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: time this year. So looking forward to all of that.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: By the way, since there's game starting today, does that
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: mean we have to give a lock because I didn't
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: plan my lock in the day very.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Well, Absolutely absolutely not.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm kind of feen and I'm kind
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of feeing.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know. We're gonna wait until the regular season
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: But thank you because that's a lot of pressure at.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is, and it's very difficult to predict spring
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: training games. I just know that the end gets very clunky.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: That's my prediction. The end gets very command issue we
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: at times. That's okay, yes, exactly, all right, let's hit
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: charge the mound because we've got a little news charging
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Aaron boone two year extension. So this year, Counts already
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: twenty five. This will extend him through the twenty twenty
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: seven season. So Yankee fans, Booney is signed up for
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: three more years to run the ship. Our thoughts, krats,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: your former skipper? Is this good for him and for
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the Yanks?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, anytime you get an extension, it's good. Obviously,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: the question has to be two years. When Counts got five,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I get it counts as a free agent, so maybe
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: they push it, but I definitely pushed it with the dollars.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I have to reserve judgment until we hear how much
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: how much he gets. I was hoping when I texted
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: him today, I congratulations, he would just give me his
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: entire contract layout but he didn't. He didn't, so I
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: don't know. Just so he gets this year and then
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: two more, which essentially you don't want to go into
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: the last year as a lame ducks, so then you're
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: back to the whole just a two year deal basically.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what to say about
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the two year part of it. I think it's all
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: he wanted. I think the Yankees aren't going to give
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: him five years. I think Aaron Boone has been there
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: for a long time, and listen, that's three more years
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: under the microscope in New York, and it's only going
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: to get they don't win, it's only gonna get tougher
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and tougher. I think Boone is a great Aaron Boone
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: is a great manager. I think he deserves more than this.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I think he deserves a ton of money. But it's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: ironic that we talked about this yesterday and then Boone
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Boone signed an extension. So I'm happy for Aaron. I'm sure. Listen,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: of course he wanted five years, but at the end
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: of the day, this is basically a three year agreement
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: that he has this year and two more years, so
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: he's not a lame duck. He's got two more years
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: after this one, and in two years, guess what if
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: he's doing a good job, he still loves it, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: everything is good with his health, he can sign another
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: two year extension. He just keep piling it on. I mean,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: I know that. Yeah, we're a little surprised it was
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: only a two year extension, but it's better than a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: new year extension.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Sure, well, is it? Because according to his boss, Brian Cashman,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: teams would have been going after him hard in the
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: offseason if they let him.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: They didn't let him get there for free agency.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I understand. But if they didn't let him get there
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: by offering him more years, that would have been fine too.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: If he was interested in that, like you said, he
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: might have just been like, I'm good, let's just do
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: two years, make this three total, and we'll keep trucking.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: But if the Yankees were like, yeah, we're doing two,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and he was saying I want five like Craig Council,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't have been an unreasonable ask, and it could
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: have gotten to a point where he said, Okay, I
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: guess I'll have to go to free agency. We didn't
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: get to that point. But here's the next layer. Aj
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Does this affect Dave Roberts' contract negotiations? Because I think
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Dave is looking for something very different. I think Dave
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: is saying five years fifty, I am worth two million
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: dollars more than the highest paid manager, and I am
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: in this for the long term. There shouldn't be any
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: disputes here. So if that's the case, then why does
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Boonie only get two? That's my only thought process here
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: is how the val is only two years for a manager.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think it affects him. I think that I
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: think that Dave Roberts is in a different universe because
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: of who he manages and the team that he manages.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I think the Dodgers do things differently. Then the Dodgers
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: don't look at other teams and say, oh, Aaron boon
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: only got two here, it's only going to give Dave
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Roberts to yours. There's one huge difference. Dave Roberts has
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: two World Series rings in his back pocket that Aaron
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Boone does not have as a manager. So I think
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I think Dave Roberts goes to them and they're going
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: to figure it out. And whether you know, if Dave
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Roberts gets a two to three four year deal, again,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys don't want to do this for
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: the rest of their life. Maybe Aaron Boone just only
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: wants to do this for two more years. He'll be what,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: let see, if I'm forty eight, he's a couple of
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: years older than me, so he'd be like fifty four
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: ish around then fifty three fifty four when he gets
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: to that point. I mean, he's had a nice life,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: he's made a lot of money. Maybe he doesn't want
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to do it more than two more years or three
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: more years. Who knows. Maybe after two years he's like, man,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I really love this, Let's do it again if they're
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: still having success. So to me, this doesn't say this
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: isn't a knock on Aaron Boone, and this has no
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: effect on Dave Roberts.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: And it's not a knock on the Yankees for only
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: giving them two years too. You just hear counts as
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: five year deal and you're like, all right, you know,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I assume that's what the next two best managers as
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: far as success would get. I mean, both those guys
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: have had a better resume than than count, so you
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: assume they would get more per year. Sometimes it's not
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: all about the money in the years for guys you
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: don't just lock yourself up for that long and that's
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: a long time being in a big market. That is
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: a draining season on you and your wife. It's you
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: and your family. Also, when you talk about these contracts,
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: you'd have to be remiss to talk about like, okay,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: boone wants to stay around. Okay, well, what's his coaching
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: staff going to look like? What's the you know, is
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: the training staff getting taken care of? Not that it
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: needs to be like dollar per dollar, but you sit
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: there and you go, if I'm extending this guy as
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: a team, do I have to extend out everybody? Are
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: we keeping everybody around? Or is he his own separate entity?
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: And then we're gonna have you know, the organization is
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: going to go in a different direction. So two years
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: allows you to be there with the group that you
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: have in place and go and do what you've been trying,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: what you just fell short of for the Yankees last year,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: and what you accomplished this year this past year for
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, So last thought here, if the Dodgers go to
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Dave Roberts and say we're going to offer you two
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: years after this, is that okay? And is it okay?
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: For Dave to be like, ah, hell no, I'm getting five.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: He can say whatever he wants, but if he wants
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: to leave, he doesn't want to leave. He's he's an
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: LA guy. He's a Southern California guy. I mean, I
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: think it's fine for them to do though, but I
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: think they'll they'll, they'll figure out something in the middle.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Council was kind of an outlier because he was a
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: free agent and a team in his own division wanted
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: him really badly, and they went out and paid for
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: him and got him. So I just think Council is
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: an out er. Yes, he wants to move the managerial market,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: but some teams, again don't value managers like that. So
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: it's not like you're a free agent you have Scott
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Morris negotiating for you against other teams. It's just doesn't
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: work out like that. And and listen, Dave Roberts is
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: going to be the Dodger manager for a while. They
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: love him, he's a great guy. He's handled that team
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: unbelievably well. I just don't see he's not going anywhere
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: anytime soon. For me, I don't see how he goes anywhere.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Two years, five years, whatever it is. To me, I
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: think it just needs to make more than what counts
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: is making. I think that's only fair.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Do you think that there's a large difference in the
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: good and the bad managers in the game? And I
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: have to talk to some fans, you do, right, Some
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: fans are like, well, there is a huge difference that
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: can do it.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: There is a difference. I wouldn't say there's a difference.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I think there's a hundred different difference. I think there's
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: a huge difference in because you talk you said good
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: ones and the bad ones, and it's not necessarily tied
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to wins and losses. To me, there's definitely a huge difference.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: There's guys that are connected, engaged, able to change with
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the times, what the player's needs are, what the coaching
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: staff's needs are, and they have to be they have
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: to be fluid and they can't just be like, this
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: is the only way to do it, and if you
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: don't do it my way, then you're out.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Eventually you're going to be the one that's out if
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: you're constantly saying that.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: So you have to adapt.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, Bucks coming on, he knows about needing to adapt,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: like that's part of to me, that's part of being
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: a manager if you're going to do it for a
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: long time, because there's always standards. But you can't just
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: constantly be just one way. You have to learn how
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: to get the most out of your players.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, I think Buck Showalter coming on, he's managed in
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: both New York teams. Let's ask him what it's like
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: to manage New York and even though he had, you know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: great rosters, or he didn't have great rosters, at certain times,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: he didn't win everyone. You know, everyone says, oh, well,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts have these great teams. Well,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: guess what, it doesn't always work out. Even if you
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: have the greatest so called team in the world, sometimes
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: it just doesn't work out.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Of course, do you think that Chris Woodward to Bruce
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: bochie was a major factor in the Rangers winning the
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: World Series a couple of years ago.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And they had better players. But that doesn't make Chris
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: wood Word a bad manager.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: It makes him not as good as what Boachie was
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: able to unlock. They take it good players absolutely. To me,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I think it's harder to it's harder to manage good
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: players because you have more egos to manage. You have
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: more time that you need to spend with those guys
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: to be able to figure out how to get the
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: most out of them. Yes, if you have a whole
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: team of superstars, you roll the balls out there, absolutely,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: But at one hundred and sixty two games, you can't
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: just roll the balls out there. You got to make
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: sure everybody's touching the rock. You got to make sure
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: everybody's pushing in the right direction and not taking days
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: off against the number one starter from the other team,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: like you got to push these guys. And to me,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: all the talk you hear of Dodgers players, it's an
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: extension of their coaches, which is an extension of their manager.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: And it all leads to a formula that's either successful
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: or not. Obviously, players on the field are the biggest factor,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: but to me, it still has the same component of Okay,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: can the Tigers be really good at third base with
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: what they currently have? Sure, but if you add Bragman,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: it increases your win probability. This is a talent, right,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: just like a coach can increase your win probability on
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: their decision making, on how they operate, personalities in the clubhouse,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: how they make lineup decisions within the front office, how
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: they communicate information from the front office to their players.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: All of this leads to a formula that creates end
• 15:06

• 16:18
  Speaker 2: during the season, like every week.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Why are we doing it every week? It's gonna be
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: overreaction Monday every week? Like, how about like, I don't.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Know if we're gonna do it on Monday. We might
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: do it on Thursdays.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Wow, because it's just do you know what you should do?
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: You should do it on Fridays. Why that's so selfish
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: of you?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Why what happens on Fridays? I don't get it.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: You have the weekend coming up so you can get
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: ready for the baby.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Right, oh, right, right right, So you're trying to work.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: The bench player. The bench player doesn't play every day.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: True.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: True?
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe you know what, maybe we will, Maybe we'll take
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: it off if it bothers you that much, maybe we
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: will do it on Friday.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: It bothered me. I'm just saying that I think that,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: like doing a power ranking every week is too much.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Just my opinion, my opinion on my opinion matters on
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: this show. None none? Can we do it on Fridays?
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Every week?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: On Friday, somebody put a pull up and ask if
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: you are into power rankings once per week just during
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: the season, there's like twenty five ish weeks. You do
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: it twenty five times. A lot changes in a week.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: That's why we do a show every single day. But
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: we'll let the people decide.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I'm all about power ranking management, Okay, I'm all about
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: my load management when it comes to power.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: The thing is, though, you're either going to be in
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: or out because we're gonna do them and it's just
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: a matter of are we going to do them on
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Fridays or non Fridays, So it's h or not.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I voted Fridays every Friday. You get to give his
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: power ranking every Friday. I like you. I'm not a
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: vote to that. I am I am, I am like
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: and Alex Fragman combined into one. I am just here
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: to help everyone win.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Cam Maven will enjoy some power rankings too, and as
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: his power rankings, this might be the only time you
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: ever get them because we're not going to do them
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: every week during spring training. But we wanted to get
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: ourselves all warmed up for this. So what are your
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: power rankings entering spring training exhibition games?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Am I going first?
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're going first because you're going first, and then
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: you're kind of going last for you haven't.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah first. Obviously we all have The Dodgers won,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: so we can skip that one. Now. I went full
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Crats Homer with Philly because that guy on the right
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: I think is in for a big year and I
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: think their pitching is really good. Now, Originally when I
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: did this list, I only had a top five and
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: then we then Scott had to change it to ten,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: so I had Atlanta, Arizona. The Yankees is the first
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: American League team. Yes, the Mets are six. That means
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: they're going to finish third. Crats way to go. And
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: then I had to reach for some American League team
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: because I'm like, man, it's nationally heavy. I think Boston, Baltimore,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the Al East is stacked, Texas down there at the bottom.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And then listen, I'll be honest. I think the A's
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: are going to compete for a playoff your spot this year.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: That's why I have them as a sleeper pick. Thet
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: h are my sleeper pick to compete for a playoff
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: spot this year. And if you notice what team is
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: missing in that that first top ten that people are
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: picking to be really kind of good this.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Year, Cratros, Nope, No and no Central the Cubs. Oh,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: the Mets are right there in six. The Cubs.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: You know why, because I'll never pick the Cubs win anything,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: so they're never going to.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Be There's another reason why AJ won't be part of
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: power rankings, because what if the Cubs are by far
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: the most dominant team in the first month of the
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: season and they're just still outside of his top ten.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they might make it. They might make a sleeper pick.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: That's it. The best chance to go.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Well, all right, you've been eliminated. Good job. This is
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: the first and only time you'll see AJ's power rankings.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Krats go.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: If you ain't first, you layist. Well.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: I like the fact that we're kind of in cahoots here.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: I'm going I bump the Yankees up a little bit more. Arizona,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: We're really close there. I am a huge, huge Orioles fan.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: They had the third best record in the American League
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: last year with the end with the second half that
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: they had. I think they're more of that first half team,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: so I have to lean on that my third place
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: team in the National League East. No Mets fans have
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: ever heard me say that, so make sure they're there.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: I honestly thought about putting the Rangers ahead of the
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Mets because I think the Rangers are going to do
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: some really really special things. And I think the Reds
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: win the NL Central. So that's why I don't have
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: AJ's Cubs in my top ten, because I think the
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Reds are going to win the NL Central. I honestly
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: think the Brewers might come in second, in the Cubs
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: in third, but we'll see. Because I'm a third place guy.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Seattle is going to make huge, huge strides with another
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: one of AJ's favorite friends taking over the helm just
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: going to have to learn to make contact and this
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: pitching staff we're going to stay together. So Seattle's there,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: and as I don't have any any teams from the
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Central on here from the AL Central, so my sleeper
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: pick is KC. I think Case wins because another year older,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: another year wiser of MVP candidate Bobby Witt, and they
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: added a little bit more to that lineup. When I
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: don't know that the lineup needed a ton more in
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: a sense of like they weren't gonna go get an
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Anthony Santander. Oh wait, they did offer him. That would
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: have been a huge pickup. But getting Jonathan India will
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: be bigger than I think people think. And this pitching
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: staff knows how to get outs.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, some Brewers fans.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: They made the playoffs last year. They're not a sleeper pick.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: They made the postseason last year. This is like bol
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: take both take. The Dodgers have the best chance to
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: win the World Series. They're not a sleeper pick. They
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: won that. They made the player else last year. Hang on,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: hang on, let me see what sleeper pick means.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, it means whatever the heck I think it means.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: It was just something from that not in the top ten.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: So maybe it's more of an honorable mention pick. Then
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: you should have said that instead of sleeper pick. The
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Scott's sleeper pick is gonna be a sleeper hole.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: That's fine. Scott's sleeper pick is gonna be the Mariners.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: We already know it. Go ahead, Scott the.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Red touch anything. I'm not talking about them for anything
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: years And I'm curious. Crats I mean, the Mariners are
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: better than the Padres right.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Now, having better than the Padres, Okay, they have the
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: they have the best. They have the most perceived value
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: from the starting rotation, second most it from the pen.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: So they're doing down on the fact that they can
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: just pitch pitch, pitch, pitch pitch. I'm not saying they're
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: scoring runs. I'm saying it's gonna be enough.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, you need to score runs to win. But okay,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: that's fine. Let's go to my top ten. Please, we
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: all are on the same page right now. The Dodgers
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: and I do think the Phillies have a deep starting rotation,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: still a very strong lineup. Actually really like the thought
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: of Trey Turner batting leadoff for the Phillies. I do
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: think they need to switch it up and have a
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: pest at the top. And I think it'll reignite Turner two,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: so he seems excited about it. So Phillies, and this
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: is entering the season, obviously things change here. I got
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: Mets three right now based on obviously the Sodo addition,
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: bullpen gets better. Yes, I know their question marks with
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: the rotation, but I blasted that last year and I
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: was wrong. I got the Diamondbacks four. Diamondbacks were a
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: fringe playoff team last year. They had the best offense
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: in baseball without Corbyn Carol being himself for most of
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: that time. I think he'll be more of the twenty
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: twenty three version, and they added Corpin Burns. I've got
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Atlanta five that can tick up when Strider and Acunya
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: come back. I want to see them come back. I've
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: got the Padre six. They were the second best team
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: in baseball last year to the Dodgers, so I know
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: they lost some pieces, but they didn't lose that many pieces,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: and they did add Piveta to the rotation. I've got
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: the Yankee seven. That's my first American League team, because
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: the American League is far worse than the National League
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: for a second consecutive year, that is not disputable. The
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Tigers eight, an emerging team, did well in the playoffs,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: added some pieces in the offseason. Cleveland did win the
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: division last year, pretty close to the same team. I
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: hate them losing Nailer, but for now I'm going to
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: keep them in here and then I do like what
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Texas did in the offseason, so I kind of finished
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: with those al clubs, Go ahead, make fun of me.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: What do you want? What am I missing? Oh? And
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: my sleeper pick Cincinnati because they didn't make the playoffs
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: last year. That definitely, that definitely qualifies as a sleeper pick. Okay,
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: if the sleeper pick isn't, hey, let's find a super
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: crappy team and say that they should be part of
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: the top ten. It's just like, hey, here's a team
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: that doesn't get a lot of level, lot of respect.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: But I'm thinking about you. That's all right? What did
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I do wrong? Ajay?
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: I mean I can't really. I mean, San Diego, I
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: think you have too high because I'm just worried about
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: their starting pitching. I think that you know, no Muscrove,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: a normal overseas is going to be there. What are
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: we going to get out of almost a forty year
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: old you darvish At this point, I just don't know
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: that San Diego is that high. And plus they lost
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of offensive firepower and profar and so I
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: don't know. I think they're a little bit high. I
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: thought about Detroit and I thought about Cleveland in the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: top ten, but I just I'm not sold on any
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: of those teams because if Detroit would have got bragmant
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I would have bumped them up. But the rest of
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the list is pretty good. Scott, I feel like you
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: know you pretty much nailed it. I get the Cincinnati
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: sleeper pick with Tito. You know Nick Lodolo accordinator Kratz
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: is going to win the cy Young So I mean, yeah,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I get that pick.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: And for me about Diego, I wait, just quick response
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: on San Diego.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Cool.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: If they trade Cease, I'll knock them down. But I
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: just can't do that yet.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Cecin King, Ceci and King have to have mega years
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: for San Diego because that rotation. For me, my PROBLEMI is,
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: I think you gotta have I have no problem with
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Detroit and Cleveland up there. You gotta have Texas above them.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: I truly believe Texas is a better team than both
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: of those teams.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: That's fine, but that's nitpicking. So if that's the biggest
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: criticism you have for me, I included them my top ten.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: They didn't make the playoffs last year. They did have
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: guys with down seasons and injuries. Starting staff, could have
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of injuries, a lot of injury prone guys there.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: So I just want to see them prove it a
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: little bit and then I can bump them up. Cleveland
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: and Detroit obviously both made the playoffs last year, and
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: we're both pretty successful in the playoffs. So that's why
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: I do factor in what they did last year when
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: we were doing spring training power.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Did Cleveland upgrade A ton? Did Cleveland upgrade? I know
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: they made it.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: You could make a click case that they downgraded. Andre
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Semenez gone, Josh Naylor gone. So I don't feel great
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: about Cleveland, but I felt like, out of respect how
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: much damage they did last year in the regular season,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: kind of running away right towards the end with the
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: division that I had to give this to them, and
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: they made it to the ALCS. So sure the bullpen
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: might collapse, but if it doesn't and it looks like
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the way it does, I mean it's an historically good bullpen.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: So I think I think it feel good for now.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: But let us know what you think. What do you like?
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: What do you not like from what we did? Okay,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: and goodbye, AJ great job doing Power rankings. You were awesome.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: One and done. George Costanza, he's out of our building,

  Speaker 2: ATHS and law Dog there it is talking long term extension.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, good move anywhere. Yeah, do it. I'm not
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: always on board. I'm usually on board because I don't
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: know what the numbers are. AJA extension hit percentage is
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: high when you're investing in a player so early on
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: in his service time just doesn't cost as much. So
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: unless you really think the player is not going to
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: stick in the big leagues and be a shell of
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: what you're seeing now, then do it. This is the
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: time to get value. This is how certain teams are
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: able to create a powerhouse. The Atlanta Braves have nailed this.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: And even if you don't get every single player correct,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: you're still gonna get more wins than losses. Acunya alone, right,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Acunya alone, they could have missed on like five others.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Acuna's on an eight year one hundred and I think
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: there might be options or whatever it is. There's there's
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: so much surplus value in savings here. So thoughts on
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Butler getting some cash.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Two times out for this one. I hope he gets it,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: and I hope they do it, and I hope they
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: make it a long one and good for him, and
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: once it's done, he'll be happy. And then we move
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: on to the next guy. I love, I love early
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: extensions for guys to deserve it.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: Get him before he hits an All Star Game, because
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: there's all Star written all over me. He was thirty
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: one percent above average on ops plus, and a lot
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: of that was after he made a swing change and
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: a mental change of how he approaches his at bats.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: His strikeouts went down, his chase percentage went down, Like
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: do it now because tomorrow it's gonna cost you more.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: Like you gotta do it before he starts playing.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: All right, let's slap and we're gonna stay on online
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: for the other crew, so we'll get into some things.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: But good luck to Team USA tonight and four Nations
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: And we don't have time to go over this, but
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: aj I think the NHL dusted the NBA in their
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: mid season plans. The NBA is falling apart with their
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: All Star Game coverage this year was worse than ever.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: This weird gimmicks stopping the freaking game to honor a
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: show that's still going on, and the game sucks. The
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: players don't care anymore. It's like not cool to try
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: as if you're what you're so worried about getting hurt
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: to play a quarter and a half of extra basketball,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: then don't go. It's gross. So Hockey, you crushed it
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: on this.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts is one of the this is this is
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: one of those things that hockey did and they and
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: when you thought about it, you're like, man, someone could
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: really get hurt, someone could mess up big time. But
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is the most attention hockey's gotten in
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: a long time, and good for hockey. Way to go,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: and you know what, even more way to go to
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: the players for playing like they care and they matter. Now.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Baseball I still think has the best All Star Game
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: because it's the most natural all Star game. You still
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: have pitchers pitching, you still have hitters hitting and all that.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: But there are tweaks we can make to the All
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Star Game. We should try some different things. Keep the
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: game the same, but try some different things just to
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: make it a little bit crazy every once in a while.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. But to do what the NBA
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: has done and make it or the NFL make it
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: flag football, you know, whatever, or the NBA, where they're
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: like Chuck versus Shack versus.
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, yeah, the NFL is a tougher
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: sell because they do kill each other on the field. NBA,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: come on, you can't play a quarter and a half
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: of extra basketball. All right, we got a few minutes
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: to we do Dodgers territory and we're just with the
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: YouTube crowd here and bringing a little spice. Okay, question guys,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: how do you wear your hat when you're catching behind
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: the plate?
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Backwards? Okay?
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Backwards? The answers backwards.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Right, It's called a pot not a helmet, by the way, Okay,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: the helmet that you wore.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: The reason I bring this up is twofold. Sometimes, actually
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: pretty often on YouTube comments post show people are like,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: it's so inappropriate for you to wear your hat backwards.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: I'm like, shut up. And then you usually do get
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: a good crowd that jumps in and says, also, whydoucare
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: dot com? And then today one of the fans was like,
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: I don't like Scott's hair. Why do you care? Thank you?
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: They're like, you need to switch it. No, I'm not
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: switching it. Shut up, Stop talking about our looks. We're
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: not going up here inappropriate. Okay, there's nothing on our
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: shirts that are inappropriate. Our offensive. You don't like our
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: hair or hats. I'm so sorry. Do you walk around
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: in life and just point to people on the subway, Hey,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: your hair sucks today? Let me know how that would go.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Your hair does kind of suck Today's I'm not gonna lie. Well,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I can say that your hair does kind of suck today.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: This is what this is what the kids do. And really,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: my girlfriend's three feet away, she likes it. I don't
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: care about everybody else. Kiss my ass.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: And if you want to wear your hat backwards, you
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: got to be a catcher, so that's fair. You can
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: wear it. That's I mean, it's the show is called
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: foul Territory. AJ played his entire career because he was
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: afraid of the baseball in foul Territory. That's where he
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: played his career. I'm not ashamed to admit that.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: I always have a variety of responses. How to catchers
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: wear their hat? How did Griffy wear his hat? I'm
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: just like, do you hate anyone for a backwards hat?
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: And by the way, there's two things. One a hat
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: we used to wear it is called a scully. It
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: was called a skull cap. And my stepdad when I
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: was growing up, people started wearing their hat backwards, said
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: if they were supposed to be worn backwards, they put
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: a logo on the back, and I'm like, well now
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: they do so soon after that they started so that's
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: why they started doing it.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: That is true. Eric Kratz is an MLB logo influencer
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: now krats AT's on our way out.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Good reminder, we were both giants.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Even though we were the same size when we played
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: on other teams, we were still both giants.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Works for Halloween to go get after it. Thanks new
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: era ft BAM see if Friday not AJ but power
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: rankings will come back in the regular season on what
• 34:46
