Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What Crats really wanted to say, by the way, was
- 0:02Speaker 1: there's some politicians that just want big seats at the
- 0:04Speaker 1: Dodgers camps, so they're gonna put that out there and
- 0:08Speaker 1: then it'll fade. Look at these these they're nice. Wow,
- 0:18Speaker 1: a j let me actually touch his cleats.
- 0:21Speaker 2: They're not mine.
- 0:23Speaker 1: We're giving these away.
- 0:25Speaker 2: You would not be touching them.
- 0:27Speaker 1: They're really nice at a zero impact. Plus the florals.
- 0:32Speaker 3: These are the j Rods, right, These are the j
- 0:34Speaker 3: Rods who are so light.
- 0:37Speaker 1: They are really light. That's my style.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Well, you like fireworks are flowers?
- 0:45Speaker 1: Do you see this too? There's like the glittery shine,
- 0:49Speaker 1: the glitter and the glittery shine and the green.
- 0:52Speaker 2: I don't know why they went green for the Titan up,
- 0:54Speaker 2: but they went green. I like the four on the bottom.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Yep. Well, hit me for a second. Look at the
- 1:03Speaker 1: bottom and you're like, why are we doing this? Well,
- 1:05Speaker 1: we're giving these away, this exact pair. No, and I'll
- 1:12Speaker 1: tell you why we're not giving this exact pair out because.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Because there's six and a half only fit Scott.
- 1:18Speaker 1: I'm a twelve big boy. The giveaway on socials, Twitter
- 1:24Speaker 1: and Instagram is probably the easiest entry rules of all time,
- 1:30Speaker 1: like the post comment your favorite player. We don't need
- 1:33Speaker 1: anything witty, although if you do great, it doesn't have
- 1:35Speaker 1: to do with that. We'll put it in a generator
- 1:38Speaker 1: and we'll pick out a winner. And the reason we're
- 1:39Speaker 1: not giving out the exact ones that Aj has in
- 1:41Speaker 1: his hands in that photo is because we are going
- 1:44Speaker 1: to give you your rightful size within reason. If you
- 1:49Speaker 1: ask for size twenty eight, they don't make that. Yeah,
- 1:53Speaker 1: but within reason, within the parameters of normality, So go
- 1:58Speaker 1: for it. We're running that for a few more days.
- 2:02Speaker 2: I get it exactly, But how do we know what
- 2:07Speaker 2: size Bigfoot is? If Bigfoot's not real?
- 2:10Speaker 1: He needs to like a comment his favorite player, But
- 2:13Speaker 1: how do you know. I don't know if he's real.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Watching I don't want to ruin anything for that.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Those are the footprint. Like you said, you're trying to
- 2:22Speaker 2: tell me that Easter money is not coming on Sunday
- 2:24Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks.
- 2:25Speaker 1: I don't talk about Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Bigfoot, locked
- 2:30Speaker 1: and sponsor. I don't want to ruin it for the kids, mascots,
- 2:35Speaker 1: what are you ruining? I don't want to be like
- 2:38Speaker 1: the Red Sox with they ruined, they ruined Wally.
- 2:44Speaker 2: So wait, Wally's not real.
- 2:46Speaker 1: That's the problem. If you're five, you just told me this. Now,
- 2:50Speaker 1: No I'm not that's the thing. I am not saying anything.
- 2:54Speaker 2: I hate you. You just told me that Wally wasn't real.
- 2:56Speaker 1: I thought Wally was real. Were you on that show
- 2:58Speaker 1: the other day when we talked about Wally. You know,
- 3:02Speaker 1: the Red Sox have the new Wally celebration.
- 3:04Speaker 2: But that's like, not the same. That's not Wally's actual head.
- 3:07Speaker 2: They didn't chop his head off and give it to him.
- 3:08Speaker 1: Of course. But here's my question, this is actually a
- 3:10Speaker 1: serious question. Let's say when your kids were little, you
- 3:13Speaker 1: take them to the Red Sox gamer. They're going to
- 3:15Speaker 1: watch you play for the socks, and they love Wall
- 3:17Speaker 1: and they want to say hi to Wally, and then
- 3:18Speaker 1: they see dad with Wally's head on and nothing else,
- 3:21Speaker 1: celebrating a dinger.
- 3:24Speaker 2: I'd like to think my kids are smarter than that,
- 3:25Speaker 2: but you never know a young.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Age, or like when they're really young and they don't know.
- 3:29Speaker 2: I have a picture of my kid was south on
- 3:31Speaker 2: me and.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Were they crying or they were into it?
- 3:34Speaker 2: I mean they were happy, to see who's head the
- 3:40Speaker 2: White Sox.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Yeah, if it was his head was on yours, your
- 3:44Speaker 1: head and you were walking around with your.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Normal body playing games. Let's get back on task here.
- 3:49Speaker 1: All right, let's go yeah, not role play, charge it.
- 3:57Speaker 2: When you turn off the producer lady. Scott even threw
- 4:02Speaker 2: up producer lady with his role play.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Pick a comeback? You want to talk about crats, You're
- 4:07Speaker 1: nicer to me. Pick a comeback? Do you want to
- 4:08Speaker 1: talk about the Giants or the Mariners? First Mariners? We
- 4:12Speaker 1: got to bring some love to the Mariners. Giants are
- 4:15Speaker 1: their first place in the West. So let's go with
- 4:18Speaker 1: the Mariners. They need some love, they do, and they
- 4:22Speaker 1: needed it. They needed that game. I gut it was
- 4:26Speaker 1: Hater was down.
- 4:27Speaker 2: I guess because he didn't pitch.
- 4:29Speaker 1: What was his schedule he picked?
- 4:30Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 4:31Speaker 2: I don't know. He must have been down because they
- 4:32Speaker 2: used random guy, not random guy, but I don't It
- 4:35Speaker 2: wasn't usually a Brady You in the eighth, Hater in
- 4:37Speaker 2: the ninth, and they did not use that combination. Gave
- 4:41Speaker 2: up no. But there was somebody before Okret that got
- 4:43Speaker 2: him to the base load. They brought Ochred and he
- 4:44Speaker 2: gave up the Grand Slam to Randy and then the
- 4:48Speaker 2: Braidia blew it in the ninth. But I guess I'm
- 4:50Speaker 2: assuming Hater wasn't available, which is why they didn't use him.
- 4:54Speaker 2: But man, what a good what a great comeback for
- 4:56Speaker 2: Seattle and their fans, and what a bad loss for
- 4:58Speaker 2: By the way, did the someone moved from monitor?
- 5:01Speaker 1: Yes? Why because mine is French fried and we're ordering
- 5:05Speaker 1: a new one in a few days.
- 5:07Speaker 2: That's weird because now it looks like.
- 5:10Speaker 1: It's so.
- 5:14Speaker 2: He also forgot his keys in New Jersey. Crats like,
- 5:17Speaker 2: I just don't, I mean, we got to move them.
- 5:18Speaker 2: I don't think it's for Scott's well being, that's forget that. Man,
- 5:25Speaker 2: These these millennials are crazy.
- 5:28Speaker 1: It's like when dogs digging something up wherever they go,
- 5:30Speaker 1: and they wanted what do you?
- 5:32Speaker 2: I know? What you leave here? There's too many things
- 5:33Speaker 2: to list, like we don't have we don't have enough show,
- 5:37Speaker 2: we don't have enough show to list all the things
- 5:38Speaker 2: Scott has left at my house and will never apparently
- 5:41Speaker 2: never get out of here.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Krats, I have a time capsule here, just things that
- 5:44Speaker 1: annoy a j And I put him in here, and
- 5:47Speaker 1: I just dig them under the rug or the.
- 5:50Speaker 2: I mean, if we can show over here krats. I
- 5:52Speaker 2: know this is way off target, but here's the thing,
- 5:56Speaker 2: Like between all the junk and the choch keys he
- 5:58Speaker 2: has over here, and the shirt and the hats and
- 6:01Speaker 2: the Bible heads and the random met stuff that we have,
- 6:03Speaker 2: it's like, you know, it's like I need.
- 6:06Speaker 4: As ye chogs all these random flair, his extra flair.
- 6:13Speaker 1: You know what, while we're while we're on this, I'm
- 6:17Speaker 1: gonna let everyone in on a little secret.
- 6:19Speaker 2: Okay.
- 6:19Speaker 1: I worked in television before this for twelve years, and
- 6:24Speaker 1: I probably shouted out a few hundred sponsors right for segments,
- 6:28Speaker 1: for reads, all kinds of stuff. That's how this works, right,
- 6:31Speaker 1: You get free content. We read stuff out, although where
- 6:34Speaker 1: I worked isn't really free anymore. But anyway, I never
- 6:37Speaker 1: once touched one product that I spoke about, not once.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Hundreds of products talked about. Not once did I get
- 6:44Speaker 1: to touch it, talk about it, know it well. I
- 6:46Speaker 1: talked about it, but actually not experience it. Right, Obviously,
- 6:49Speaker 1: I can go get it myself. I'm not asking for
- 6:51Speaker 1: everything to be free, but not once. Now, let's flip
- 6:54Speaker 1: it ft motto which I'm part of is we would
- 6:58Speaker 1: like you to send us stuff, then we actually experience
- 7:01Speaker 1: it and talk about it better than what happens. Aja says,
- 7:04Speaker 1: there's too much. No, that's not true. That's not true.
- 7:10Speaker 2: That's not true because I will only, if you know,
- 7:12Speaker 2: I will only talk about stuff that I actually get
- 7:14Speaker 2: in my hands. I will not endorse. We're on the show,
- 7:16Speaker 2: say something about something that.
- 7:18Speaker 1: I do not have.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Harry's I have, Harries, I shaved yesterday, Harry clean. It
- 7:22Speaker 2: looks nicely, right. So what's the problem though, hold on,
- 7:25Speaker 2: hold on, the problem is you have the nineteen eighty
- 7:28Speaker 2: six Mets subway trains over there, which we didn't get
- 7:31Speaker 2: you brought from wherever it is, whatever hole you crawled out.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Let's put it on the test well.
- 7:34Speaker 2: It's way over there. You're gonna get up and get it.
- 7:36Speaker 2: There's so much junkers, all this Mets here. There's a
- 7:38Speaker 2: Walt Weis's Rockies, bobbleheads. I mean, there's makeup kids. I
- 7:42Speaker 2: mean there's stuff over there, Scott that you don't even know,
- 7:45Speaker 2: you don't even.
- 7:45Speaker 4: Know you have.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I don't think all of it's me.
- 7:49Speaker 2: I know it's mine, and I know what's yours.
- 7:51Speaker 4: It's our other co host, I know, the Mariners one.
- 7:56Speaker 2: It was an awesome walk off, Yes, you know it
- 7:58Speaker 2: was great. The Mets, the men that's Pete Alonzo hit
- 8:01Speaker 2: that ball and the I don't know what the dude's
- 8:02Speaker 2: name was, but he he was beheaded by the wall.
- 8:05Speaker 2: The catch in center field that was like one of
- 8:09Speaker 2: the best catches of all time. I mean that was unbelievable.
- 8:12Speaker 2: I know, I won't go down to get a lot
- 8:14Speaker 2: of love for him to die the wall like that.
- 8:17Speaker 2: I mean, he like he went headfirst into the wall.
- 8:21Speaker 1: You thought it was better than Derek Hill's caps the
- 8:22Speaker 1: day before, Yes, because you hit the wall wall.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Derek Hill was just diving. This dude went full extension boom.
- 8:30Speaker 2: You can break your neck, That's what I'm saying.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Yes, Aj, it is time for people to get some
- 8:37Speaker 1: new clubs, and to do that, they need to go
- 8:39Speaker 1: to their local PXG for a fitting, right.
- 8:42Speaker 2: No doubt. I was there today, I've been there before.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Last time I was there, they gave me this killer gap.
- 8:47Speaker 2: You look at that sweet spot, Scott, it is worn out.
- 8:49Speaker 2: That is right in the sweet spot right there. So
- 8:51Speaker 2: I went and got new clubs today, New irons, but
- 8:54Speaker 2: more importantly, I got this bad boy. I got me
- 8:56Speaker 2: a new putter. This is my old putter. It's on order. Yes,
- 8:58Speaker 2: that's my putter cover PXG Mustang. Now I'm going to
- 9:01Speaker 2: the Allen putter. They talked me into it because I
- 9:03Speaker 2: was draining some putts today. Bob, the guy who helped
- 9:06Speaker 2: me out, he helped me with my irons. He got
- 9:08Speaker 2: him teed up perfectly. But then we went to the
- 9:10Speaker 2: putt and green. I was draining them putts because that's
- 9:12Speaker 2: the most important part of golf.
- 9:13Speaker 1: PG fittings are fun. Schedule you're fitting today, as you
- 9:17Speaker 1: can hear from AJ For a limited time, you could
- 9:19Speaker 1: save up to twenty percent on your entire order. Head
- 9:22Speaker 1: over to PXG dot com slash foul that's PXG dot
- 9:26Speaker 1: com slash foul to save up to twenty percent on
- 9:28Speaker 1: your entire order PXG dot com slash f o u
- 9:32Speaker 1: L restrictions apply see site for details. So anyway, that's
- 9:37Speaker 1: why you helmets your heads up, kid. Uh. The Astros
- 9:42Speaker 1: bullpen has question marks behind it. Obviously, Presley's gone. Hayter's
- 9:46Speaker 1: still there. He wasn't pitching yesterday. Randy A Rosereina two
- 9:49Speaker 1: out brand slam in the bottom of the athof o.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Kurt Julio ties at bottom nine off of brave Randy
- 9:55Speaker 1: gets the walkoff walk to win the game.
- 10:00Speaker 2: You want to add three two break them all right there, cratsy,
- 10:02Speaker 2: I don't know about that one. You got to throw
- 10:04Speaker 2: a pitching throw for a strike, make him get a hit.
- 10:07Speaker 2: He can't, he can't walk them right there? Right? Am
- 10:09Speaker 2: I wrong in that? And I was watching it live or.
- 10:15Speaker 4: Was watching it was it looked like he was controlling
- 10:18Speaker 4: his fastball. He was just nibbling with his fastball, so
- 10:21Speaker 4: maybe he wasn't controlling it.
- 10:23Speaker 2: But I don't know.
- 10:26Speaker 4: Another problem the Astros have is they cannot shut down
- 10:29Speaker 4: the running game. Teams get on and they go, oh yeah,
- 10:33Speaker 4: the Mariners in steel bases, they were running wild on them.
- 10:37Speaker 1: I think the number seven for eighteen. Yeah, now for
- 10:41Speaker 1: the season. And and Chandler Rome, who's our crush shitty
- 10:45Speaker 1: territory host, has replied to a number of fans over
- 10:48Speaker 1: the past few days that are like, what the heck
- 10:50Speaker 1: is wrong with our catchers? And he was like, pitchers
- 10:53Speaker 1: are not varying looks or timing. Stop playing it.
- 10:57Speaker 2: It's not the catchers and I'm a catcher.
- 11:01Speaker 4: I think six out of the eighteen wasn't even a throw.
- 11:04Speaker 4: That's how big of jumps they were getting.
- 11:07Speaker 2: How many times do you do that as a catcher, Like
- 11:09Speaker 2: there were times where guys just get a jump and
- 11:10Speaker 2: I just wouldn't even I'd just be like, right back
- 11:13Speaker 2: to the picture, you know why, because then the people
- 11:15Speaker 2: realize it's not your fault. You're just like, I got
- 11:18Speaker 2: no chance. What the hell am I gonna waste a bullet.
- 11:19Speaker 2: The only thing that can happen is something bad, like
- 11:21Speaker 2: me chucking it into the center field because I try
- 11:24Speaker 2: to rush, Like, nope, I'm just throwing it right back
- 11:27Speaker 2: to the picture.
- 11:28Speaker 4: I'll tell you why. I used to always throw it anyway.
- 11:32Speaker 4: I used to always throw it anyway because of crazy legs.
- 11:35Speaker 4: Raj Davis. Raje Davis would always slide past second base.
- 11:40Speaker 4: And my thought was, somebody's gonna slide past second base.
- 11:43Speaker 4: Keep the tag on, maybe you get them. It's called stealing.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta stick the tags at all times these
- 11:51Speaker 1: days with replay, no.
- 11:52Speaker 2: You come off by besides of Scott's feet and you're out.
- 11:56Speaker 1: The twelve spot and you're out. The asters are five
- 11:59Speaker 1: and set. I mean they're they're fine. They started off
- 12:01Speaker 1: way worse last year. I just want to throw that
- 12:03Speaker 1: out there. The Mariners are five and eight.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Nobody's nobody's great in that division. I know the Rangers
- 12:07Speaker 2: are supposed to be the team. Yeah, but they you know,
- 12:10Speaker 2: some of their banged upness already. I don't know. I
- 12:14Speaker 2: think that. Listen, the Angels say what you want, but
- 12:17Speaker 2: they're in this now because the division is not great.
- 12:20Speaker 1: I know it's early that we're gonna talk to Sam
- 12:22Speaker 1: Blom later. I think the Rangers are.
- 12:24Speaker 2: I think the Rangers are the fast team they should be,
- 12:26Speaker 2: but they keep masching Homers like they did of Imanaga.
- 12:29Speaker 2: It's gonna be They're gonna be all right.
- 12:31Speaker 1: I want to finish with this. Do you know who
- 12:33Speaker 1: the players of the week are in the NL and
- 12:35Speaker 1: the al.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Kyle Tucker and Alex Briklan Boo nailed at ex Astros's
- 12:42Speaker 2: kind of hurts. That's kind of that kind of hurts
- 12:44Speaker 2: when the walk off.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, pop corner, let's tail. You can learn more
- 12:53Speaker 1: about Ken Rosenthal's story on Laddie Junior's ridiculous signing bonus
- 12:59Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty five million dollars by reading his
- 13:02Speaker 1: article in The Athletic, or by watching or listening to
- 13:05Speaker 1: Fair Territory. We're going to talk about it right now.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Sixty five percent of his five hundred million dollar contract,
- 13:13Speaker 1: which includes no deferrals, will be paid out in a
- 13:16Speaker 1: signing bonus spread out over the course of the fourteen years.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Signing bonus means you already get the money regardless of
- 13:25Speaker 1: what happens after that, even though the money doesn't all
- 13:27Speaker 1: get paid out right away. The clarification for people to
- 13:30Speaker 1: understand is that if we have a lockout, it doesn't matter.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Glad he's still getting his paycheck.
- 13:38Speaker 2: It don't matter what. This whole thing was really smart.
- 13:41Speaker 2: I've said it from the get go. Not only was
- 13:42Speaker 2: he smart with how he got it done, meaning how
- 13:45Speaker 2: he basically made the Blue Jays have to sign him
- 13:48Speaker 2: because of the way he played him, but then to
- 13:51Speaker 2: do this with the signing bonuses, knowing there's a potential lockout.
- 13:54Speaker 2: Not only that, he also doesn't have to get paid
- 13:57Speaker 2: in Canada the bulk of it. He's getting the bulk
- 13:59Speaker 2: of it in Florida. He lives and there's no state tax,
- 14:01Speaker 2: and he's gonna save a crazy amount of money doing
- 14:04Speaker 2: it this way. Listen, I give him and I give
- 14:06Speaker 2: his agents a ton of credit for what they did
- 14:08Speaker 2: and how how they structured this is unbelievable. And the
- 14:11Speaker 2: blue Jay is like, sure, we'll do it. Why because
- 14:13Speaker 2: it's chunk payments. It's better that way for games. Boss akins,
- 14:18Speaker 2: I don't know if you get but here's my question,
- 14:20Speaker 2: is you get him at the end of every year?
- 14:21Speaker 2: Does he get him like in January? Because like I
- 14:23Speaker 2: used to always try to sign before the new year
- 14:27Speaker 2: and then I could throw my signing bonus. I'd always
- 14:29Speaker 2: try to get a signing bonus and I'd get it
- 14:31Speaker 2: thrown in before the new year so that I could
- 14:34Speaker 2: use it on my taxes the year before and I
- 14:35Speaker 2: could use it in Florida, so that way.
- 14:38Speaker 1: See, yes, I think you could go either. I think
- 14:40Speaker 1: you do it. So you're saying, is it December January,
- 14:43Speaker 1: because there's a difference there. The only thing I do
- 14:45Speaker 1: know is it doesn't count on the season because it's
- 14:47Speaker 1: after the season for the team's luxury.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Tax or whatever it must be in December probably whenever.
- 14:55Speaker 1: The yeah, whenever, right, the cycle cycle, whatever, the new cycle?
- 15:00Speaker 1: Why does so that's why Toronto does a lot of
- 15:02Speaker 1: people are like, why does Toronto say yes to this?
- 15:04Speaker 1: And also is he so smart? Wouldn't every player ask
- 15:07Speaker 1: for this? It's just that he has the leverage to.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Actually, as I said, he played them, played them perfectly.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're a player in Floridocrat, every player wants
- 15:15Speaker 1: to get as much of their signing bonus as possible.
- 15:18Speaker 1: I mean, if it's up to a player, they'd get
- 15:19Speaker 1: the whole signing bonus sent to them in their contract
- 15:22Speaker 1: because then they don't have to pay taxes and wherever.
- 15:24Speaker 4: Else it is, I would have I mean I lived
- 15:27Speaker 4: in Virginia when I played. I would have loved to
- 15:29Speaker 4: have gotten a signing bonus. I mean Virginia state tax
- 15:31Speaker 4: I think it was like six percent. Canada was fourteen percent.
- 15:36Speaker 4: Fourteen percent on top of everything that you're earning, like normal,
- 15:41Speaker 4: your normal taxes. So if it's if he say fourteen
- 15:45Speaker 4: percent on three hundred and twenty five million, that's forty
- 15:47Speaker 4: five point five million. Obviously, I don't know, you know,
- 15:50Speaker 4: it's probably ways to work around that tax. But remember
- 15:53Speaker 4: what Shai DAVIDI said when he was on here too,
- 15:56Speaker 4: right after he signed, talking about how the Canadian dollar.
- 15:59Speaker 4: The exchange wasn't great. I wonder if, like currently, I
- 16:03Speaker 4: wonder if the Blue Jays get some benefit from that,
- 16:07Speaker 4: because maybe they don't have to they can use different
- 16:11Speaker 4: funds to pay those signing bonuses because it's technically not
- 16:14Speaker 4: paying somebody that's in Canada. You follow what I'm saying, Like,
- 16:18Speaker 4: I wonder if somebody smarter than me would have to
- 16:20Speaker 4: look that up. But he was talking about that, so
- 16:23Speaker 4: that would be maybe another reason that the Blue Jays
- 16:25Speaker 4: were like, yeah, sure, we'll do it.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Ftfam. If you love ripping packs of cards, there is

- 17:30Speaker 1: understand what you're saying, and I'm not smart enough to
- 17:32Speaker 1: explain it to others, but yes, there are smart people
- 17:36Speaker 1: that work for every team or every team's owner that
- 17:39Speaker 1: know how to manipulate books to make it as best
- 17:42Speaker 1: as possible, which is fine, that's normal. That's how you do.
- 17:45Speaker 2: Let's say, let's say for the Blue Jays. You know
- 17:47Speaker 2: they're owned by Rogers, right yep. So if they do
- 17:49Speaker 2: this at the end. I don't know how the Canadian
- 17:50Speaker 2: tax cycle works, but it works, you know, December December, January,
- 17:53Speaker 2: December December thirty first, if they cut that checked to lad,
- 17:57Speaker 2: that's a loss for them, so they can say, oh,
- 17:59Speaker 2: we lost you know, fifteen million extra at the end. See,
- 18:02Speaker 2: so I mean there's there's there. It's all about how
- 18:05Speaker 2: you play with the money.
- 18:06Speaker 1: Do you think that they might have dynamic signing bonus
- 18:10Speaker 1: years where they're like, hey, we want to balance it
- 18:13Speaker 1: out kind of like how like if you have an investment,
- 18:15Speaker 1: you know, you would report the loss at the end
- 18:17Speaker 1: of the year to counter it. I don't know, that
- 18:19Speaker 1: might be two in the weeds.
- 18:21Speaker 2: I don't know, we need an account on here.
- 18:23Speaker 1: But three hundred and twenty five million dollars in a
- 18:25Speaker 1: signing bonus. That was an eye popping number that came in.
- 18:29Speaker 2: It is because you don't usually see that. You expect
- 18:31Speaker 2: everyone just you know, he got fourteen years five hundred
- 18:33Speaker 2: eyone's trying to figure out how many millions per year
- 18:35Speaker 2: is that?
- 18:36Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 18:36Speaker 2: But the way he did it, I mean again, dude,
- 18:38Speaker 2: it's kind of like the show. Hey thing, California is
- 18:41Speaker 2: changing the law because show Hay the way he did
- 18:43Speaker 2: his you know, deferred money. They're trying to change the law. Yeah,
- 18:47Speaker 2: they're trying to change the law because they want they
- 18:49Speaker 2: What he's gonna do is he's gonna get the money
- 18:51Speaker 2: somewhere else. He's gonna get the bulk of his money,
- 18:53Speaker 2: so he doesn't have to pay in California. It's smart.
- 18:55Speaker 2: It is if the team will do it and you
- 18:58Speaker 2: can do it, you can do it that way. The
- 19:01Speaker 2: thing about lad that's smartest. He still gets his money
- 19:05Speaker 2: the same timeframe, it's just broken up differently. He just
- 19:08Speaker 2: gets smaller checks from here. He gets one giant check
- 19:10Speaker 2: at the beginning of the year, and he gets a
- 19:11Speaker 2: bunch of smaller chicks. Now, I remember when I was
- 19:13Speaker 2: playing guy. There was a couple of guys he got
- 19:15Speaker 2: paid year round, and there there's some teams will be like,
- 19:19Speaker 2: do you want to get paid twelve months or six months.
- 19:20Speaker 2: I'm like, I'll just take the six months.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Some guys, yeah, so you get a monthly every deposit.
- 19:27Speaker 2: Yeah, so you get it the whole off season too.
- 19:29Speaker 1: So let's project this forward. Do you think this becomes
- 19:32Speaker 1: more of a trend when we see things happen right,
- 19:34Speaker 1: like the first opt out whatever amount of years ago
- 19:37Speaker 1: that was, and it's like, oh, I wonder if they'll
- 19:39Speaker 1: there will be more of these. And I remember at
- 19:41Speaker 1: the time some people are like, Nah, that's just for
- 19:43Speaker 1: this player. Nope, there's a ton of opt outs now right,
- 19:46Speaker 1: because you bring up comps. So let's push this forward.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker is about to be a free agent. He
- 19:51Speaker 1: lives in Florida. If he signs with the Yankees and
- 19:54Speaker 1: has that New York City tax, which is awful, I
- 19:57Speaker 1: dealt with it for years, does he say, cool, I'm
- 20:01Speaker 1: getting five hundred and I want three fifty on the
- 20:04Speaker 1: signing bonus. If they'll do it, and then do states
- 20:07Speaker 1: start to try to come after this and change laws
- 20:11Speaker 1: all across the country because it's going to be billions
- 20:13Speaker 1: of dollars.
- 20:14Speaker 2: I mean they'll try, but I don't know how they
- 20:15Speaker 2: can do it. Yeah, because they have.
- 20:18Speaker 1: A battle if it becomes a trend right on the
- 20:21Speaker 1: team side, if that's another leverage point for them to
- 20:23Speaker 1: be like, sure, we'll do that.
- 20:26Speaker 2: I would think, I don't know, We'll see. We'll have
- 20:28Speaker 2: to see how it plays. There's very select few guys
- 20:30Speaker 2: that can get this done though. Yeah, yes, tuckeruld be
- 20:32Speaker 2: one of them.
- 20:34Speaker 4: And you have to think about the fact that you
- 20:36Speaker 4: talk about like changing laws, like these politicians who are
- 20:40Speaker 4: going after show Hayese money are funded by people who
- 20:45Speaker 4: are making show has money for a lot longer than
- 20:49Speaker 4: ten years. Like people that fund their fund their campaigns
- 20:54Speaker 4: and stuff.
- 20:55Speaker 2: So I get it. It's like big forward facing.
- 20:58Speaker 4: But they change these laws for athletes, they're going to
- 21:01Speaker 4: start changing for other.
- 21:02Speaker 2: People and teams. Teams want deferred money. Teams want to.
- 21:07Speaker 4: Not like if you have, let's say he's getting a
- 21:10Speaker 4: twenty million dollars signing bonus, Teams do not want to
- 21:13Speaker 4: pay him twenty million dollars from March to September. They
- 21:17Speaker 4: would much rather hold that twenty million and then take
- 21:21Speaker 4: it out of a fund that they put in there
- 21:24Speaker 4: themselves made money. They're not paying the whole money, so
- 21:27Speaker 4: if they can pay that lump sum at the end
- 21:29Speaker 4: of the year, teams, big corporations.
- 21:32Speaker 2: Always want to do that.
- 21:33Speaker 4: Yes, always, especially when you're talking about this kind of money,
- 21:36Speaker 4: because they're making extra millions on that money that they're
- 21:40Speaker 4: paying out that they wouldn't had they had to pay
- 21:42Speaker 4: him on the first and fifteenth of every year. So
- 21:45Speaker 4: teams want deferred and I'm sure teams probably even want
- 21:47Speaker 4: the signing bonus, but I don't know all the schematics
- 21:50Speaker 4: of it.
- 21:51Speaker 1: The only thing with the signing bonus risk is you
- 21:53Speaker 1: do have a legit chance that games will be missed
- 21:55Speaker 1: coming up, and then you aren't getting that discount on
- 21:59Speaker 1: the games missed, right, I mean they shouldn't be. But
- 22:05Speaker 1: I'm saying if you give a guy almost all of
- 22:08Speaker 1: it in the signing bonus. What Crats really wanted to say,
- 22:10Speaker 1: by the way, was there's some politicians that just want
- 22:13Speaker 1: good seats at a Dodgers camp. So they're going to
- 22:15Speaker 1: put that out there and then it'll fade. Has been
- 22:20Speaker 1: talked about for a while, exactly went.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Away once they won the World Series and went away
- 22:23Speaker 2: kind of qud.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Get my binocular see who's sitting in the suites in
- 22:26Speaker 1: these days? Oh, I saw you yelling about the taxes. Yeah, well, anyway,
- 22:32Speaker 1: it was interesting. I know some of you are going
- 22:34Speaker 1: to watch this afterwards and be like, oh, it's so
- 22:36Speaker 1: gross to talk about how the taxman inflation works. It's
- 22:39Speaker 1: not or just giving you the information. We're not doing it.
- 22:41Speaker 2: No, I've got but I'll say this, by the way,
- 22:46Speaker 2: every person, I mean, I'm assuming you guys have accountants.
- 22:49Speaker 2: People have accountants when you do write offs. That's kind
- 22:52Speaker 2: of this. I mean, it's not the same thing, but
- 22:53Speaker 2: it's similar.
- 22:54Speaker 1: That's in the category.
- 22:55Speaker 2: Yes, you're trying to save money on your taxes. Everybody
- 22:58Speaker 2: drives to save money on their taxes. Yeah, I mean
- 23:00Speaker 2: I write off Scott as a dependent.
- 23:03Speaker 1: Really is Devin Williams Okay?
- 23:10Speaker 2: Yeah, look at his career r in April and he's fine.
- 23:13Speaker 1: March in April, he's the top story on the site
- 23:16Speaker 1: that I usually used to check a lot of baseball news.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Was like, Devin Williams says he's okay, and so I
- 23:22Speaker 1: clicked on it. I mean, it's kind of clickbaity. I'm like,
- 23:25Speaker 1: what happened? And they're like, yeah, he's given up four
- 23:28Speaker 1: and runs in four appearances, Like, yeah, I know a
- 23:32Speaker 1: few of them came in yesterday's game. His whiff right
- 23:35Speaker 1: on his change up has gone down from fifty percent
- 23:38Speaker 1: to twenty five percent. I'm like, yeah, he's made four
- 23:41Speaker 1: appearances and he says he's a slow starter.
- 23:46Speaker 4: Let's get it. Let's give Aaron. Let's give Aaron Boone
- 23:49Speaker 4: some credit too. Some managers don't have the kajones to
- 23:54Speaker 4: pull out a closer who was the best closer in
- 23:56Speaker 4: the game and just got to your team. Some of
- 23:59Speaker 4: them just say, hey, it's not my fault. We got
- 24:02Speaker 4: Devin Williams. He was evaluating the game. It was going
- 24:06Speaker 4: off the rails. He helped his team win the game
- 24:08Speaker 4: in that situation. What's the value to Aaron Boom that
- 24:11Speaker 4: Aaron Boone brings is a prime example of taking the
- 24:16Speaker 4: best closer in the game out in a situation he
- 24:18Speaker 4: didn't think he was going to get.
- 24:19Speaker 2: The job done.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Winning move. He's got cachet. That stuff matters. I know
- 24:25Speaker 1: fans don't see that because they, for the most part,
- 24:29Speaker 1: look at the manager as an extension of the front office,
- 24:32Speaker 1: and so whatever results happened on the field, it's the
- 24:35Speaker 1: manager's fault too. But you're right. I mean that's a
- 24:38Speaker 1: loss for some managers yesterday, isn't it. Yeah, probably about
- 24:42Speaker 1: half the mattergers Ae.
- 24:45Speaker 2: I bring you through a lot of pitches. He weren't
- 24:46Speaker 2: getting done therecause there was a chance there for a
- 24:48Speaker 2: spot to go to someone else. You get it. I
- 24:49Speaker 2: don't know what they're again, I don't know what their
- 24:51Speaker 2: bullpen situation was, But you're right, it's a.
- 24:54Speaker 1: Good call, Krats, So yes, we all agree. He's okay.
- 24:59Speaker 1: Ft FI. You gotta check out what Harry's brings to

- 26:00Speaker 1: Let's talk about a Ken Rosenthal story that covered Corbyn
- 26:04Speaker 1: Burn's departure from the Baltimore Orioles. So we finally got
- 26:08Speaker 1: some numbers on what the offer was for him, and
- 26:12Speaker 1: people are like, why are you talking about that now?
- 26:13Speaker 1: Because we just got the information. If we brought this
- 26:15Speaker 1: up in the off season, this would be the biggest
- 26:18Speaker 1: story for a few days. So he basically said, the
- 26:21Speaker 1: Red Sox made a short term offer and the Orioles
- 26:23Speaker 1: made a short term offer. The Oorls one we got
- 26:26Speaker 1: the details on four years, one hundred and eighty million
- 26:28Speaker 1: dollars forty five million dollars a year would have set
- 26:31Speaker 1: a record for a pitcher, not counting the Unicorn show.
- 26:34Speaker 1: Heyo tany. It would have been the highest average annual value.
- 26:37Speaker 1: But it was not the most guaranteed money offered. And
- 26:42Speaker 1: I would say ninety percent of the time, if not more,
- 26:46Speaker 1: the most guaranteed money in free agency is what is
- 26:49Speaker 1: going to command the pitcher.
- 26:52Speaker 3: Especially another Homer de center. By the way, just saying
- 26:55Speaker 3: that is insane, Wow, like clip talking. Sorry, I know
- 26:59Speaker 3: you're going I actually burns. But another Homer at.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Steinberg I'm talking like, way I get that one. Tayler
- 27:06Speaker 2: warded alone.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Jeesh Steinburner field right field.
- 27:10Speaker 2: This one was just like left just left of side.
- 27:12Speaker 2: But I mean it went out by who went out
- 27:15Speaker 2: there almost on Delmay.
- 27:16Speaker 1: With gorgeous day outside I'm in Florida. We're close enough
- 27:18Speaker 1: that the weather's the same. Anyway, this was cute, but
- 27:23Speaker 1: it was never gone over.
- 27:25Speaker 2: What was the Red Sox offer?
- 27:26Speaker 1: We didn't get that, but we got the oil.
- 27:28Speaker 2: It was oils are four.
- 27:30Speaker 1: Yeah, so the Red Sox he signed for four years.
- 27:32Speaker 1: He signed for six years to ten. Now there were
- 27:35Speaker 1: deferrals in the deal that he signed, so it wasn't
- 27:38Speaker 1: as far apart as it looks on paper.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Okay, yes, but two things about this. Where does he live?
- 27:47Speaker 1: Arizona?
- 27:48Speaker 2: But it was over. They offered more years, more money.
- 27:51Speaker 1: It was over. Can I it was over.
- 27:53Speaker 2: I don't care. The Ools made a nice little run,
- 27:55Speaker 2: but if you have a guy six fifty, they would
- 27:58Speaker 2: have to overpay him. That's had to beat it by
- 28:00Speaker 2: a big.
- 28:01Speaker 1: But we always knew that, I agree.
- 28:02Speaker 2: But we never thought the Oriols would get to four
- 28:04Speaker 2: poet eighty, did we?
- 28:05Speaker 1: I guess not. But the Ools acted like they you know,
- 28:08Speaker 1: they did everything they could? Did they do everything they
- 28:11Speaker 1: could when you make a four year offer to the
- 28:13Speaker 1: best pitcher on the market, who's looking for more years
- 28:15Speaker 1: and obviously the biggest guarantee, like they didn't beat the offers,
- 28:19Speaker 1: So for them to say like, oh, yeah, we did
- 28:21Speaker 1: what we were supposed to do. He wanted to go
- 28:22Speaker 1: to Arizona, Well he did, but if you he did
- 28:25Speaker 1: want to go there, but anybody Arizona.
- 28:27Speaker 2: If you remember when you talked to him, he said,
- 28:28Speaker 2: Arizona wasn't even in until the end. Yes, and they're like, wait,
- 28:31Speaker 2: we can actually get Corven birds for this, We'll take it.
- 28:33Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying is so if you're Baltimore and
- 28:35Speaker 1: you threw a six to twenty at him before that
- 28:38Speaker 1: even popular, he.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Would have taken it.
- 28:40Speaker 1: You would have taken it.
- 28:41Speaker 2: But listen, for him to get to go home where
- 28:43Speaker 2: he lives with his family and pitch in a place
- 28:45Speaker 2: where he doesn't have to move for spring training and
- 28:47Speaker 2: he's there year round. He knows he's going to be there,
- 28:49Speaker 2: they would have had to blow it out of the
- 28:51Speaker 2: water once he got that offer, and they weren't going
- 28:52Speaker 2: to do that.
- 28:53Speaker 1: Listen.
- 28:53Speaker 2: The four one eighty is nice, it's cool and all,
- 28:55Speaker 2: but you know Corbyn was looking for at least five.
- 28:57Speaker 2: He got six. Now he can end his career at
- 29:00Speaker 2: home and be happy. So good for you, Corbyn, but
- 29:03Speaker 2: kind of what good for the Diamondbacks.
- 29:05Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, but the story here the Orioles.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Said they tried and they didn't get to the number
- 29:11Speaker 2: that was good enough.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Yeah, and so people are like, that's cool that you
- 29:15Speaker 1: offered him a lot of short term money. That stuff's
- 29:17Speaker 1: happened a lot over the years. Remember the Dodgers made
- 29:19Speaker 1: that big offer to Bryce Harper, but it was for
- 29:21Speaker 1: a low year total. How often does that really happen
- 29:25Speaker 1: unless it's got the big opt out in it, like Bregman,
- 29:27Speaker 1: which really you can just look at it as a
- 29:29Speaker 1: one year deal unless it's got an opt out right away.
- 29:32Speaker 1: And the Orioles one didn't have an opt out. The
- 29:34Speaker 1: Diamondbacks one has an opt out after two years. I
- 29:38Speaker 1: don't see him opting out, I agree. Maybe he was saying,
- 29:40Speaker 1: I don't.
- 29:41Speaker 2: Know, I don't know. I don't know that he is.
- 29:44Speaker 2: I don't know that he will maybe, but I can't.
- 29:47Speaker 2: I mean, I can't imagine being in the place. The
- 29:49Speaker 2: only way I could see him opting out is doing
- 29:51Speaker 2: something where he could get more money from the Diamondbacks
- 29:53Speaker 2: because he wants to stay there. But he has two
- 29:54Speaker 2: young and he has young kids. He's happy there. His
- 29:57Speaker 2: kids are going to be getting into school age at
- 29:58Speaker 2: that time. You know, I just don't I just don't
- 30:01Speaker 2: see him. I mean maybe, but if he goes out
- 30:03Speaker 2: and has two great years, maybe, but still I think
- 30:05Speaker 2: he'd it'd be one of those like I'm gonna opt out.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Wink wink, give me a little bit more for the
- 30:09Speaker 2: same amount of time and we'll call it even.
- 30:12Speaker 1: Yeah, I can tell Marte just kind of helped them
- 30:14Speaker 1: spread out money. Yeah, Ools have a five to three
- 30:17Speaker 1: seven starting pitching yards Orioles.
- 30:19Speaker 2: I know, Krats put them three on their power ankles.
- 30:21Speaker 2: Not as bad as me putting the Nats one on
- 30:23Speaker 2: mine because they just beat the Dodgers in the series.
- 30:25Speaker 2: But they're starting pitching with Efflyn down, Grayson down. They're
- 30:31Speaker 2: starting pitchings in trouble. Kramer got whacked yesterday.
- 30:33Speaker 1: Kramer and Morton have Bras to the moon right now.
- 30:36Speaker 1: They have the two worst starting pitching the Ras.
- 30:38Speaker 2: This this is the thing we said going into it,
- 30:41Speaker 2: and we didn't think they addressed it enough with what's Seganogiano.
- 30:45Speaker 1: Chicano and Morton were the big moves, big.
- 30:48Speaker 2: Moves and listen, Charlie Morton's forty two years old.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Eventually it catches up to everything it does. And I
- 30:56Speaker 1: don't want to be that guy because you don't like
- 30:57Speaker 1: to know root for your prediction when it's like this.
- 31:00Speaker 1: But I do Baltimore radio spots a lot, and I'm like, guys,
- 31:02Speaker 1: I'm worried that it don't enough and it just stops
- 31:06Speaker 1: for Charlie eventually, he's just up there. You're not going
- 31:08Speaker 1: to pitch till you're forty eight right Wayno, did it
- 31:11Speaker 1: for a while and then it just it went away.
- 31:14Speaker 1: They've got some similarities.
- 31:16Speaker 2: By the way, another homer right down the right field
- 31:18Speaker 2: line for Mike Trout, I mean right three hundred.
- 31:20Speaker 1: And fifteen feet in like five home.
- 31:22Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, and the wind's blown out. Guess which
- 31:25Speaker 2: way left to right?
- 31:28Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 31:29Speaker 2: Yes, I mean everyone was just in like Mike Trut
- 31:31Speaker 2: literally popped it up and it went in the first
- 31:33Speaker 2: row at Steinberg. It's amazing.
- 31:35Speaker 1: It's fun. Fun people like homers. But anyway, their rotation
- 31:38Speaker 1: right now is Morton Kramer, Chicano, Kid Povic And sure
- 31:42Speaker 1: there's gonna be guys coming back, but you got to
- 31:44Speaker 1: get to the playoffs.
- 31:46Speaker 2: That's what we're worried about. And if you have a
- 31:48Speaker 2: dude's hurt. I don't know. We'll see, we'll see how
- 31:51Speaker 2: they react.
- 31:52Speaker 1: My thing was on this story. Okay, you didn't get Burns,
- 31:57Speaker 1: that's cool. Jeffrey Springs was available via trade. Obviously, Crochet
- 32:02Speaker 1: was the big prize available via trade. Who else? There
- 32:07Speaker 1: were plenty of names available.
- 32:09Speaker 2: Names you could have won. Dylan Sees was talking about
- 32:10Speaker 2: being possible trade.
- 32:11Speaker 1: I mean, Freed was available, Blake Snell was available.
- 32:16Speaker 2: Blake Snell wasn't going there.
- 32:18Speaker 1: There were who else was traded to?
- 32:22Speaker 2: I don't know, dude, that was a long time ago.
- 32:24Speaker 2: On Sodo got traded.
- 32:25Speaker 1: How about hayeszeus Lozardo.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Oh there's a good one.
- 32:30Speaker 1: No phone call for haesus Lozardo.
- 32:32Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe they did call. I don't know. Okay,
- 32:35Speaker 2: they made a trade with the Marlins last year didn't
- 32:37Speaker 2: go so good.
- 32:38Speaker 1: Yeah, they traded for the wrong dude. Hayesus Lozardo was
- 32:41Speaker 1: the one, not Trevor Rodgers. Yeah.
- 32:44Speaker 2: Oo, fans, I feel for you. It's you know, you
- 32:48Speaker 2: have the offense to get there. Do you have enough pitching?
- 32:50Speaker 2: That's the question.
- 32:50Speaker 1: You built it, but you didn't put the cherry on top,
- 32:55Speaker 1: and you could have it wasn't. It's not saying it
- 32:57Speaker 1: added sixty six million dollars a payroll.
- 32:59Speaker 2: This is on a knock on Michae Olias. But he's
- 33:01Speaker 2: never been in this situation to get He's always been
- 33:04Speaker 2: kind of He was a member in Houston, he was
- 33:05Speaker 2: behind Lunaw and then he goes to Baltimore. So he's
- 33:09Speaker 2: never been in charge when he had to take that
- 33:10Speaker 2: next step. Does I'm not saying he doesn't know how
- 33:14Speaker 2: to do it, but do you know how to take
- 33:16Speaker 2: that next step? Like when THEO went to Chicago, right,
- 33:18Speaker 2: he had done it with the Red Sox, so when
- 33:20Speaker 2: it came time for him to go get John Lester
- 33:22Speaker 2: and John Lackey and Jason Hayward and these guys to
- 33:24Speaker 2: finish the deal, he went out and did it. Now
- 33:26Speaker 2: he had backing from the ownership, which the new ownership Rothstein.
- 33:32Speaker 1: With Reuben Simonstein sorry yeah.
- 33:35Speaker 2: With Baltimore said they're gonna he has the backing to
- 33:37Speaker 2: go do it. But did he go about it the
- 33:39Speaker 2: rail way? I know he got Tyler O'Neal, and he
- 33:40Speaker 2: got Chigano and he got some other pieces. He got Morton.
- 33:43Speaker 2: They added money, but did they add the piece that
- 33:45Speaker 2: could take him to the next send. They haven't won
- 33:47Speaker 2: a playoff game with this group, not a series, a game.
- 33:50Speaker 2: They've been swept twice.
- 33:53Speaker 1: To me, Elias in his situation right now reminds me
- 33:56Speaker 1: of this is gonna be a weird one. Alex Anthopolis.
- 33:59Speaker 1: With the Blue Jays, there were a couple of times
- 34:01Speaker 1: where he went for it though no, well, he went
- 34:03Speaker 1: for it after he.
- 34:05Speaker 2: Learned David Price, Josh Donaldson. I mean he went after it.
- 34:08Speaker 1: After he originally for previous seasons was being very cautious.
- 34:14Speaker 1: He's he's on the record on it. I learned my lesson.
- 34:16Speaker 1: I did that, and then all of a sudden everything
- 34:18Speaker 1: was hitting right. Like it wasn't just success on the field,
- 34:22Speaker 1: like the whole vibe of the team changed because Bautista
- 34:24Speaker 1: called him out. I think it was the year before
- 34:26Speaker 1: when they did nothing and they were in range. So anyway,
- 34:29Speaker 1: he still talks about that now and says how that
- 34:31Speaker 1: experience in Toronto made him who he is now and
- 34:33Speaker 1: he is one of the best GMS or president of
- 34:35Speaker 1: baseball operations in baseball. So I think Elias is going
- 34:39Speaker 1: through that learning curve right now. That's what it feels like.
- 34:41Speaker 2: Always as a player, always go for it. You always
- 34:44Speaker 2: want your team to go for Yeah, of course as
- 34:46Speaker 2: a player, because I saw your money.
- 34:48Speaker 1: Yeah, but they had money to spend. I just I'm
- 34:50Speaker 1: still confused about what happened in this offseason and right
- 34:53Speaker 1: now it's playing out that way in the Weeds. So
- 34:57Speaker 1: two things from yesterday with plays a the plate. One
- 35:01Speaker 1: you brought up yesterday because it happened during our show,
- 35:04Speaker 1: and then I got to watch the clip after keep
- 35:07Speaker 1: Brian Hayes. Wait, man, but if you just run into
- 35:10Speaker 1: the players that collided or kind of act like you do,
- 35:13Speaker 1: isn't it obstruction?
- 35:14Speaker 2: Yeah? That was That was weird base running because the
- 35:16Speaker 2: guy was trying to do just do it. I didn't
- 35:17Speaker 2: step on Aaron Boone's back, and it doesn't matter. He
- 35:20Speaker 2: was being so polite, being so polit himself and out Yeah,
- 35:23Speaker 2: keep Brian Hayes, was I mean? And they were like,
- 35:25Speaker 2: oh what a heads up playing? I mean, the ball
- 35:26Speaker 2: land right there and you could hear the pitcher going
- 35:28Speaker 2: tag them, tagging. He picked him up, tags him before
- 35:30Speaker 2: he That collision was nasty. That's why I always told
- 35:32Speaker 2: my infielders or not because I sucked the pop ups,
- 35:34Speaker 2: I'll be honest, I sucked at him. I'd be like
- 35:36Speaker 2: my first and third basement. You catch them all and
- 35:38Speaker 2: I'll left they're behind. If they're from behind home play back,
- 35:41Speaker 2: I'll do my best. But if they're if I have
- 35:43Speaker 2: to go into anywhere foul counting towards the dugouts meaning
- 35:47Speaker 2: towards fair territory, that's your ball. Go get them. Yep,
- 35:50Speaker 2: catch them all because the ball is going away from
- 35:51Speaker 2: me as a catcher. How many time you see the
- 35:53Speaker 2: catcher go oh and they miss it because it's spinning
- 35:56Speaker 2: the back to you. So the first basemin was doing
- 35:57Speaker 2: the right thing. He was charging and he was they
- 36:00Speaker 2: smashed into chill. Likely they were both okay. But the
- 36:02Speaker 2: base runner he was kind of in a weird spot
- 36:05Speaker 2: because he was trying to score. He's trying to be nice,
- 36:06Speaker 2: and he went around and the ball just happened to
- 36:08Speaker 2: go on the right spot for Cobrian has to pick
- 36:10Speaker 2: it up and tag in the ball six inches left
- 36:13Speaker 2: or six inches lady safe. It just went in a
- 36:14Speaker 2: perfect spot.
- 36:15Speaker 1: Yeah, but some guys would just be badasses and they
- 36:18Speaker 1: would just truck stick and say obstruction or they'd get home. Yeah,
- 36:22Speaker 1: guys are a little nicer these days. All right, the
- 36:24Speaker 1: White Sox play. He got hurt Rojas right on his
- 36:28Speaker 1: way home. That was Rojas? No was it? What did
- 36:33Speaker 1: you want to talk about with the White Sox game?
- 36:34Speaker 2: Oh, the white nose talkman, the White Sox game.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Sorry, well, Josh Ross, Yeah, confusing And he's already hurt,
- 36:42Speaker 1: isn't he?
- 36:42Speaker 2: Yeah? Talking me yesterday? I mean, listen, this is the
- 36:45Speaker 2: most White Sox thing I've ever seen. On how to
- 36:48Speaker 2: lose a game. You've lost seven, you've lost six in
- 36:50Speaker 2: a row. You get the class A, you have the base,
- 36:52Speaker 2: a load of two houts. Vargas gets to hit the left,
- 36:54Speaker 2: makes it three to two. Talkment's coming around and he
- 36:57Speaker 2: pulls a hamstring and he's out by twenty five feet.
- 37:00Speaker 2: He probably would have scored. And what a pick, by
- 37:01Speaker 2: the way by Austin Hedges at home play. It's gonna
- 37:03Speaker 2: get overlooked. But it was a short hop and he
- 37:05Speaker 2: picked it and and I mean obviously, but if he
- 37:07Speaker 2: misses it, talking and limps home and they still tie
- 37:09Speaker 2: the game, he picks it tags talking me out and
- 37:11Speaker 2: you can just see talking is like he throws his helmi.
- 37:13Speaker 2: He's like gets on his knees. He's like, no, but
- 37:15Speaker 2: like the most White Sox way to lose all. I mean,
- 37:17Speaker 2: it's unbelievable with that a hammy, it's a hammy. He
- 37:19Speaker 2: went on the aisle. Then they lose. They lose Corey
- 37:21Speaker 2: Lee to a left uh ankle sprain getting back on
- 37:25Speaker 2: a pick off, and then they also lost Ben attending
- 37:27Speaker 2: to an adductor abductor. I don't know the difference. He's out.
- 37:32Speaker 2: My question is is like, okay, so if you're the
- 37:37Speaker 2: White Sox, and I know they called up Narvaias to
- 37:41Speaker 2: catch right, why don't we call Kyle Teal. I know
- 37:43Speaker 2: he's struggling a little bit in triple A, but why
- 37:44Speaker 2: not call him up and give him a shot? You
- 37:45Speaker 2: already have dice there. I guess they're both left handed hitters.
- 37:48Speaker 2: Maybe that's the reason service, but you would like give
- 37:51Speaker 2: him a shot. He's struggling. I know he's only hitting
- 37:53Speaker 2: like one ninety in triple A, but he did some
- 37:55Speaker 2: special things for in spring train. Just get him out.
- 37:57Speaker 2: If Cory Lee's only gonna be out for a couple
- 37:58Speaker 2: of weeks, ten give him those ten days. Le don't
- 38:01Speaker 2: catch four or five games and start the process of
- 38:03Speaker 2: getting them used to being in the big leagues. I
- 38:05Speaker 2: mean Narvaia's they're not. You're not winning the division. If
- 38:07Speaker 2: you're the White Sox this year.
- 38:09Speaker 1: You win, the season's already over. Yeah, your season.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Today, you're already two and eight, so they're gonna be
- 38:13Speaker 2: two and nine.
- 38:14Speaker 1: Let him learn in the bag, Let him learn, Give
- 38:16Speaker 1: them a.
- 38:16Speaker 2: Couple of games, throw them out there, let them get
- 38:18Speaker 2: used to catching the pictures is gonna be catching for
- 38:19Speaker 2: the next few.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Years service time after the Super two deadline thing.
- 38:25Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's not gonna stay. If you know Corey
- 38:26Speaker 2: Lee's coming back, he's not gonna stay. You say, hey,
- 38:28Speaker 2: you're here for ten days. But if you catch for
- 38:30Speaker 2: he's not though, you're just you just know he's not sure.
- 38:33Speaker 2: But I guess they would have two left handed hitting catchers.
- 38:35Speaker 2: But face stuff left. You give it to Dice and
- 38:36Speaker 2: you give til the.
- 38:37Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yes to me.
- 38:41Speaker 2: To me, that's the question is why don't we bring
- 38:43Speaker 2: him up?
- 38:44Speaker 1: I don't know, They're like, why don't we bring up this?
- 38:48Speaker 2: I mean, no offense to Narvaias, who's had a nice career,
- 38:51Speaker 2: but he's kind of proven this thing.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, what are we doing and.
- 38:54Speaker 2: They have him in Double A so we can catch
- 38:56Speaker 2: schultzen Hagen Smith, So like, let him stay down there
- 38:58Speaker 2: and get them them.
- 38:59Speaker 1: You know, I don't know.
- 39:00Speaker 2: Again, I don't know. I'm not there day to day,
- 39:02Speaker 2: but I'm just I just I don't know why. If
- 39:04Speaker 2: it was me, I'd be like, you know what, Cayle Teel,
- 39:06Speaker 2: you're coming up for ten days or however long Cory
- 39:07Speaker 2: leaves out and as soon as he comes back, you're
- 39:09Speaker 2: going back down to Triple A. But just get some
- 39:11Speaker 2: get some under your belts. When you do come up,
- 39:13Speaker 2: everything's not new. At least you get a couple of games.
- 39:15Speaker 1: In four or five games and go they're gonna wait
- 39:18Speaker 1: it out.
- 39:19Speaker 2: Sorry, I mean, it's just a little ram. I just
- 39:20Speaker 2: don't understand why, you know. I mean, the thing is,
- 39:22Speaker 2: you look at their position player prospects right now til
- 39:25Speaker 2: calls the Montgomery hitting O eighty and I know it's
- 39:27Speaker 2: Chilly and Charlotte, but you know Cayle Teel's not hitting either. There.
- 39:31Speaker 1: You got to is there a case to be made
- 39:33Speaker 1: that you want to call guys up when they're clicking
- 39:35Speaker 1: in the minors, or it doesn't matter, It.
- 39:37Speaker 2: Doesn't matter for catcher. The thing is like, get them there.
- 39:40Speaker 2: You have Dice, you have Drew Viterra. Get them there
- 39:43Speaker 2: and get them four or five games under their belt,
- 39:45Speaker 2: because what happens is God forbid, something happens for the
- 39:48Speaker 2: longer term and you won't you know, And you said
- 39:49Speaker 2: super two manipulation. I don't know if it's that that's
- 39:52Speaker 2: the case, because he's not going to stay there the
- 39:54Speaker 2: whole year. Now, maybe something happened and he might, but
- 39:57Speaker 2: that's a chance you take if he comes up and
- 39:58Speaker 2: does really well, you know what. Cool we found somebody like,
- 40:01Speaker 2: let's roll with this dude.
- 40:02Speaker 1: And give him a taste kind of.
- 40:04Speaker 2: I remember Tory Hunter, Like I used Tory Hunter as example.
- 40:06Speaker 2: We were he was in Double A nineteen ninety seven
- 40:09Speaker 2: New Britain and they called him up. He was gonna
- 40:12Speaker 2: quit because he's like, this sucks, not very good. They
- 40:14Speaker 2: called him up to pinch Run in Baltimore for like
- 40:16Speaker 2: two games. He pinched Ran. He's like, man, this big
- 40:18Speaker 2: leagu stuff's ptty cool, almost stick with it. Worked out
- 40:20Speaker 2: pretty good for that guy.
- 40:21Speaker 1: Hell yeah right, but he was, Yeah, he was.
- 40:24Speaker 2: Gonna quit and go home and play football. They called
- 40:27Speaker 2: him up for two days someone got hurt they needed him,
- 40:29Speaker 2: or fraternityly, whatever it was. They called him out of
- 40:32Speaker 2: Baltimore for two days. He got to pinch run. He's like, man,
- 40:34Speaker 2: this big league stuffs awesome. Man.
- 40:35Speaker 1: Man, did he ever talk about that publicly? I don't know,
- 40:39Speaker 1: but I mean that's that's a crazy story though.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they've I mean they literally called him up
- 40:44Speaker 2: just to basically he was like he was struggling in
- 40:46Speaker 2: Double A because then the extra ninety eight I was
- 40:48Speaker 2: there in Double A with him, and that was when
- 40:50Speaker 2: he kind of started figuring some stuff out and then
- 40:53Speaker 2: we went you know, the rest is history, and Tory
- 40:55Speaker 2: and I don't have an unbelievable career.
- 40:57Speaker 1: That's my thing is there's the whole balance of, oh,
- 41:01Speaker 1: we don't want to call him up and have him
- 41:03Speaker 1: discouraged and then get demoted. I'm like, damn, you call
- 41:06Speaker 1: a guy up and even if he struggles and gets
- 41:08Speaker 1: a taste, I don't care how motivated you are, You're
- 41:11Speaker 1: going to be that much more motivated when you go
- 41:13Speaker 1: back down and be like, I want that back, right,
- 41:15Speaker 1: I want to taste that exactly. So I'm like, do
- 41:18Speaker 1: you really think their feeling is going to be so
- 41:19Speaker 1: hurt if they get called up for a week or
- 41:21Speaker 1: two in struggle. For me, personally, I have no relation
- 41:24Speaker 1: to this situation. But if I was called up and
- 41:26Speaker 1: I got to see what the big leagues was like
- 41:28Speaker 1: in any capacity, it would make I'd be up at
- 41:31Speaker 1: five a m. Instead of five point thirty. You know
- 41:33Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Just because I'm like, I'm getting back there.
- 41:36Speaker 1: That was freaking awesome.
- 41:38Speaker 2: Once you get a little taste of you want to
- 41:39Speaker 2: get back. Yeah, And we talked about Kyraen Parris with
- 41:41Speaker 2: the Angels. I mean he he busted his tail to
- 41:44Speaker 2: get back there, made some swing changes and did some
- 41:46Speaker 2: stuff and now look at him.
- 41:47Speaker 1: Yep.
- 41:48Speaker 2: Once you get a taste you want to get back.
- 41:49Speaker 1: I think it's smart. Dodger's Territory coming up next with
- 41:57Speaker 1: Alana and Clint after they worried there. We did the
- 42:03Speaker 1: game last night, the playback. It was fun. It went
- 42:06Speaker 1: really well. Daniel Murphy was really good. He had a
- 42:08Speaker 1: He had a great time. He loves the game. Yeah,
- 42:10Speaker 1: it's fun to talk to guys they love the game. Yeah.
- 42:13Speaker 1: He brings up some philosophies that you've never heard before,
- 42:17Speaker 1: but they make sense. Yeah, And they help relate with
- 42:20Speaker 1: young fans. So I thought it was cool. He was
- 42:22Speaker 1: really good. And you know what, for a guy who's
- 42:25Speaker 1: got plenty of old school thoughts in him, he's he
- 42:28Speaker 1: thrived by getting more lyft on the baseball at one point.
- 42:31Speaker 2: Remember, he made some he made some big changes. Big
- 42:33Speaker 2: changes went off for those couple of years.
- 42:34Speaker 1: And he's all about it now, right, but not in
- 42:37Speaker 1: like a super analytical or launch anglely way. You know.
- 42:42Speaker 1: It's just when he's watching the game with us yesterday,
- 42:44Speaker 1: he's just like that was on you. You know, He's like,
- 42:48Speaker 1: you gave it that. You gave that to the infield, right,
- 42:50Speaker 1: He's like, your jobs, get it over the infield. Like
- 42:52Speaker 1: he had some simple philosophies that he brings now to
- 42:54Speaker 1: the kids that he coaches. I think he's got like
- 42:56Speaker 1: an eleven year old. So anyway, he was really good. Actually,
- 42:58Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you this question for the last two
- 43:01Speaker 1: minutes of today because then I'm gonna ask it tomorrow.
- 43:02Speaker 1: We're gonna do a segment on it. I'm actually into
- 43:05Speaker 1: this one. His favorite question that he asks almost any
- 43:10Speaker 1: baseball fan, who will finish, who will have more career
- 43:15Speaker 1: innings pitched? Babe Ruth obviously show or show hey o Tani,
- 43:21Speaker 1: I mean, does have Babe Ruth has one two hundred
- 43:29Speaker 1: and twenty one and a third. No chance he's getting there,
- 43:32Speaker 1: no chance for eighty one and two thirds?
- 43:35Speaker 2: Noe, Fay Ruth. You think he's gonna be eight hundred
- 43:39Speaker 2: more innings in eight years?
- 43:40Speaker 1: You know? And I'm gonna go into more.
