MLB’s new empty "down period” rule + Pap talks Red Sox survival mode · Foul Territory

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Hot corner time.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Jeff Passen reported on a story about MLB telling team
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: officials that they're going to have to wait a little
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: bit longer to monitor amateur players over a winter period.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: So they ordered down period for teams to watch youngsters prospects,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: and that also includes collecting data on them. This will
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: happen in the winter time. So it says there's a
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: warning two executives that the amateur baseball calendar is putting
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: young players at dramatic risk of future injury. That's a
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: memo from the league and it's a seven page document
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: to high ranking personnel all thirty teams. The league said
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: it hoped it's amateur Recovery Period policy, which covers high
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: school juniors and seniors from October fifteenth to January fifteenth
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and college players from November fifteenth to January fifteenth, will
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: quote alleviate the pressure on young players to forego rest
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and recovery, curb overuse, and keep players healthier as they
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: strive for a future in professional baseball. So during that period,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: team employees cannot see any player covered by the policy
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: here that includes video, third party data, et cetera. If
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: you violate it, you can be fined, suspended, placed on
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the game's ineligible list, sanctions on the team, et cetera.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And they're encouraging players to use this period for rest,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: recovery and training for next season rather than high intensity,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: maximum effort activities. This is due to the league finding
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: out that dudes are going too hard all the time.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Will this do anything?
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Most colleges end around the week after November first, anyways,
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: So most colleges end in most high schools, and I
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: think the Big Jupiter Tournament is the week before they
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: ended this, and that's when most high school teams shut
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: down for the fall winter anyways.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: So it doesn't really cover anything.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Only thing this does is it probably kills some showcase
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: events that happening, but doesn't limit colleges, doesn't limit other
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: things to other people to come and watch. So I mean, yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: this is like, oh, we see a rash of injuries,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: we should do something about it. But this is this
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: doesn't really change anything for me. And also a lot
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: of the injuries we're seeing Bigley pictures are throwing all
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: year around. They're going to drive lines and treads and
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: places all winter and throwing all the time, so that
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: doesn't really stop them from going places to throw. So
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I guess it helps a little bit,
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: but I don't know what it really does, because again,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: the biggest tournament of the year is in Jupiter, the WWBA,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: and Jupiter ends I think October twelfth or something. So yeah,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: not like it's not like this is like, oh man,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: we're gonna end that one. No, it's October to January
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: is shut down anyways, and then they can start doing
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: arm arm exercises. Are arm care is like January first
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: or something in high school. So I don't know what
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: this does other than it makes MLB say we did something.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: I wash, nobody's going to blow out when they're going
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: to throw for a scout on a on an October
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: November day in high school. To me, I think high
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: schools should be done. Pitchers should be done before October fifteenth.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: So this is from Major League Baseball. I don't think
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: it's I think this is just a hey, look at
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: what we did. Is it going to make a blip
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: on the radar? Absolutely not until guys are rewarded for
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: staying healthy and going longer into games or just in
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: general staying healthy. Oh wait, you can have a really
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: good career, if you stay healthy and you're always available,
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: So that's the reward. I don't think this is a
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Major League Baseball thing, and I think this is to
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: me it's eyewash.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, colleges can still be at whatever. They can't stop that.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Agents too, You have quiet college has.
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: Quiet period, that's true.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Agents go to everything. They're not going to be stopped.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: No, agents definitely go to everything.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: So I mean, AJ, you would probably speak to this
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: the same too, Like if I had to go to
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: and I think no, Cynegard, we had him on it.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: He was talking about it. If you have to go
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: to a tryout in January and be your absolute best max,
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: you're gonna be either injured because you're getting ready too soon,
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: or your season is going to be brutal because you
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: hit your peak way too soon. You got to be
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: ready when your season starts. For me, I had to
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: be ready at the beginning of spring training because that
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: was the times when I would get my at bats
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: and play in the field, and then the good players
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: would come and they would start playing every day and
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: I would get smattering of at bats. At the end
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: of spring training, I wouldn't play the whole time, like
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: you have to be able to time it. And I
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: think too many kids, whether they throw too much or not,
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: it's they're just not being taught how to take care
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: of their bodies, because there's the holy grail of hitting
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: that number, whatever it is. If you want to go
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: to a low level college, you got to hit ninety.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: You want to go to a high level college, you
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: got to hit ninety five. You want to get drafted,
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: it's ninety eight. And until that changes, these quiet periods,
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: dead periods for pro scouts, not going to save any injuries. Yeah,
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: but I mean, nobody needs to be ramping up in
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: just January December, anyways, it should be. This is again, No,
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: there's no big things unless certain certain places are doing
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: things in December January. I mean I just had a
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: son go through it, and there was at the end
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: of October it was done. There was nothing until January started.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: What thing unless you're paying seven hundred dollars for your
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: kid to go to a showcase, which why do you need.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: To do that?
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Anyways, this doesn't do anything except for those few plays.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Maybe some Jucos, but even though they're not even covered.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, I guess Juco's but you know, most scouts
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: aren't really heavily invested in jucos anyways. So and no
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: colleges are playing. My son's last college game this year
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: is October twenty fifth, so this doesn't cover that. So
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: then they have October, November, December, January.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: What does he do during that time? They just lift
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and they work out. They don't do baseball.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure they do some baseball stuff, but
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: they just lift. But the pitchers get their downtime.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: So I'm confused about this memo.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Guys, does this mean that they're trying to figure out
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: ways to curb the injuries but they don't know how.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they don't know how, or they don't want to.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: If they do know what it is, they don't know.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: They don't want to make that change. My buddy just
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: texts me, who's a scout. He's paid nine months out
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: of the year. He's not paid November, December and January.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: What So what is it?
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: I have a couple buddies that are still scouts and
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: they say they still have to go and do in
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: home visits with prospects. So it's not like they're getting
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: that time off and.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: That'll continue you're allowed to do that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: I did look at the middle, so they're still working,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: they're still gaining information there. They already know who they're
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: gonna look.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: At it more than likely now they can't go have
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: a catch in the backyard.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: If they make if they go visit.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I'm kidding.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I'm kidding, but I'm just trying to figure out what
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: this means.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Nothing.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Nothing, okay, conclusion nothing. If you skipped to the end
• 7:21

  Speaker 2: gonna get one of the wildcard spots. Are they definitely
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: getting in? I think you tweeted about it this morning.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: The schedule is not easy for them the next six games,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: it's not.
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: First off, let me say what's up everybody, how's their
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: boy doing? I love the superpower. I feel like my
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: wallets has some superpower here lately with all my picks.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: They're so hot, So just gonna throw that out there
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: first off.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Now, under your question, Scott.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Red Sox.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, so they're up a game, right, They got three
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: against Toronto Blue Jays, still need to clinch the division.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Then they finished with a three game set against the Tigers,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: team that might be fighting for its postseason life and
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: have a schoobl start in there.
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: Well, there's no question that they're gonna be fighting for
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: their lives with the Scoobal start against the Red Sox.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: It's to me gonna come down to that series, no question. Now.
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: I hope the Blue Jays they clinched. I hope they've
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: been partying. I hope they're hungover a little bit. Maybe
• 9:40
  Speaker 6: hopefully can't play. Some guys might get some rest, I'll know.
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: But the Red Sox gotta win this series, and this
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: is a tough series to win in.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Toronto, and I don't see it happening.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: So I see them going into the Detroit series and
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: kind of some dire straits.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Wait, you're saying that the Red Sox can't beat a
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: another big league team right now? Is that because they
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: don't have a good enough personnel or they're not playing
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: well enough.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: Well, Kratz, if you look at it, man, they've they've
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: really been playing kind of scrappy ball without their best
• 10:13
  Speaker 6: hitter in Roman Anthony, and they've been tanking ever since.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: So to me, he's not coming back. I don't. I
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: don't see him coming back.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: Maybe if they get to the CS or something like that,
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: then maybe, but still you're talking about a rookie coming
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: back and his first ever postseason. You can't expect much
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: out of him after that, just like you can't expect
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: a Brad You just came back and he's supposed to
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: man down right field right now, but you can't expect
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: him to do it. He had to go to break
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: no wait, yes, ye had four strikeouts last night, So
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: you can't expect him to do much because he didn't
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: even go on.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: A rehab stance. He's trying to jump right back.
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: Into it because it's it's all hands on debt for
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: the Red Sox right now.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you what. You can't look in the
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: rearview mirror at all.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: All right, so I won't look. And I guess my
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: question is Nolan void? Then I guess Raffi if he
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: was in this lineup, wouldn't have wouldn't have helped them
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: at all right, but they got some pieces back. Jordan
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Hicks hasn't really helped out. Really, what is what is
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: the formula for them to win these last six games,
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: win enough games to keep their their one game lead,
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: because they can't just recreate and get you know, you're
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: not getting Rumman Anthony back say, ain't Raphael is not
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: just gonna all of a sudden like stop swinging at pitches.
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: What is the formula? Because they're playing two really good
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: teams who still have something to play for.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, Kratz, their formula has to go to passing
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: the baton and the line up and playing defense and
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: obviously pitching right.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: So all three of those phases.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: But you can't lead the league in errors and expect
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: to beat Big League Ball clause.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: It's what they do. So until they clean that up,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: nothing's gonna.
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: Really change because there's been I don't think any team
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: to make it even to the World Series that has
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: led the league in error.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: So you got to clean that up. But man, the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: pitching right, You got Peyton totally in the bullpen. Now
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: they've moved him. He's up on his Garrett Crochet is
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: in a spot.
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: Where he's never been right number one, we got playoffs,
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: and number two he's pitched one hundred and eighty some
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: odd innings. I don't know exactly, but I know he's
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: one eighties ish, so he's never done that before, right,
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: So how much can you lean on him as well?
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: And my understanding and the way I think is you
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: you can't lean on him too much because I see
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: a tired Garrett Crochet right now?
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: What do you think about these starters that go to
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: the bullpen? Then if they're tired and these guys are
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: all hitting innings limits and Crochetes at one hundred and
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: ninety seven I believe innings already, And then you have
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Giolito who's at a high limit count Beo's way up there,
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: and then you're gonna would you take it totally? Would
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: you take someone like that and throw him in the
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: bullpen for help? Or who's your what do you do
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: to try to help alleviate some of this pressure on
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: some of these guys once you if you get into
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: the postseason, well, a.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: J somebody's got to step up because they didn't get
• 13:26
  Speaker 6: much help.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Bres though, that's just the one place he didn't get
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: any help.
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: Right, So Hicks is I don't even know if he
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: would make a postseason roster, to be honest with you,
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: but you have to have hope that Slayton steps up
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: and you and you got to hope that Chapman is
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: regular chap He been doing what he's been all year long.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: And more importantly, a guy named Garrett Whitlock.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: If Garrett Whitlock, he's just setup man if if you
• 13:53
  Speaker 6: can't rely on him, and he's already reached his limit
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: of innings or his highest limit of innings he's ever
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: thrown out of the bullpit, so man like, it's you're
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: looking at a team that is already injured and looking
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: to try to get into the postseason and try and
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: maybe do damage in the postseason with a lot of questions.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: In my opinion, Todd, Father, you and me grew up
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: in Jersey. We liked to collect cards, but the way
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: the process got was ridiculous. You open up a pack,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: there's a bunch of cards you don't care about. Then
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: you want to get certain ones graded takes forever right,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: then you want to maybe sell one. It's such a
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: to do. Arena club has been the solution for us.
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: Arena club has been a solution for everybody. You go online,
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: go to Arena Club and you check out what they have.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: Put a little cash down. You might get one of
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: the best cards that you've ever seen in your life
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: and autographed cards and guess what, if you don't like
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: the card, easily you could sell it back and make
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: a little cash. You never know what to expect. It's
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: a cool way of doing it. You're gonna get a
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: surprise every time. And if you're in the cards, this
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: is something you really need to get.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Into right now.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: You can get twenty percent off your first slap pack
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: or card purchase by going to arenaclub dot com, slash
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: foul and use code foul like Todd Father is talking about.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: With those slap packs.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Every pack is a grail that's at least twenty x
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: the price of the pack. Check it out.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: Rookie Peyton Toley does he profile? Is his stuff profile
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: to be able to go to the bullpen?
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: It does Cratzy, It does his fastball plays.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Man, But you know as well as I do.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: Man, when you got that guy and he's coming out
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: of the bullpen and it's like, man, holy smokes, dude,
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: just throw a strike here.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: We got we gotta get we gotta get strike one.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: And when you don't do that out of the bullpen, it,
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: to me, it just seems a little bit more damaging
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: because you're coming in.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: More tighter situations.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: So if you don't get ahead and you don't throw
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: strike one, especially out of the bullpen, you're in trouble.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: So I think his fastball plays. He's just got to
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: located a little bit better.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: He's got other pitches and slurs and cutter and a
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: change up he very rarely throws. But to me, it's
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: let me find one or two right, Let me find
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: one or two that play right now, and you go
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: with it. And as the season goes on, you go
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: to your best two pitches coming out of the bullpen.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Every night.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: If they're on the outside looking in when the playoffs start.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: Is this a failed year? Or is this like the
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: built in? Hey, you know what we did, go get
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Bragman for one year. We knew it was a one
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: year deal. We got rid of Raffie, We reset for
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: next year. Is this a failed year? In the nation?
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: Red Sox Nation is going to say this is a
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: failed yearcratz I myself would say that it's a failed
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: year two. Only reason being, in my opinion is this
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: will be year number four, I believe. Yeah, so four
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: years and that just doesn't play in Boston.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: Man, you know that.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: And you know Breslo can make all the cute moves
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: you want, you can make all of the oh man,
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: we made the best analytical play we could. We were
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: making all the great moves and they're turning out.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: But if you don't win, you don't. It doesn't work here.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: And that's just the way it is.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: And so yeah, you got you got some future young
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: pieces signed here and Saydan and Mayo, but you got
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: it in Crochet and we could go on. But like,
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: here's the thing is is these young kids have got
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: to learn how to win at a high level in playoff,
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: tight atmosphere games and hopefully in the playoffs.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: And none of them have done that except for Bregman.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: So they're they're in trouble in my opinion.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Hey, Pap, A couple other questions around the league. So
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: first off, we just learned officially next year we'll start
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: the ABS challenge system. It just got approved by the
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: rules committee. Two challenges per team. You keep your challenge
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: if you're right, and the umpire is wrong. Your thoughts, well,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: my thoughts are you know you're gonna have a learning
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: curve with it, and you know, like.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: I see now, I see now catchers wanting to call
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: it all the time, so you know.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: It's it's who's gonna call it. I'm I'm not so
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: sure on it. I think the umpires are good enough.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: But two is enough to get a start and say, Okay,
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: let's try to see if this works. And to be
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: honest with you, hadn't been paying a whole lot of
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: attention to myor league. I know they're losing at the
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: minor league level, right, I hadn't been paying a whole
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: lot of attention to it. But I think two is
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: enough just to start with and see.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: I think the empire I agree with you. I think
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: the umpires are good enough. I think they just now
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: have an accountability. They never had any accountability before and
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: they'd just be like, Eh, whatever missed it. You need
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: to go to another pitcher. Show Hey, Otani. Not sure
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: how the rotation is gonna work out if they're gonna
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: need four guys, five guys kershaw or show Hey, there's
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: been a debate, can show hey come out of the
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: pen to pitch. I get it. You know, you could
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: lose them in DH you could throw them. You have
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: to throw him in the outfield. How hard is that
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: of a transition to just go ahead and do that
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: in a big situation like the playoffs.
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: I don't know, Kratz, I wish I knew, but to me, uh,
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: the guy is a unicorn, right, and you have to
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: be able to listen to him, and you have to
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: be able to communicate with that unicorn, that great player,
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: so to speak, and he.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: He has to be able to communicate back to you.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Number one, what do you.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: Feel comfortable doing right? What do you feel like you're
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: going to be best at? What do you what do
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: you feel like you're gonna help this team win the
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: most at? And then secondly, what can you handle? You know, like,
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: what type of load do you think that you can handle?
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: And what are you going to do pregame, post games
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: in order to handle these loads?
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: If we're going to be asking a little.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: Bit extra from you, and I'll be honest with you, man,
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: playoff games, these these last six games the Red Sox
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: will be playing are they're just a different intensity, man,
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: And they take a little bit more out of you
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: a little bit more if your fuel tank just seems
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: to be a little bit lower after each one of
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: these games and just you know, your normal game and
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: the regular season.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Did they get in?
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Oh? I think they get in. I think they have
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: the leadership to get in.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: I think this time of year it boils down to
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: leadership in your clubhouse, you know.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: And kudos to Kershaw Man. I liked how he went
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: out and the way he went out, went out in
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: a good way. You know.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: He didn't do the Derek Jeter or David Ortiz, let
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: me have a party at every city I go to
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: and get a present and blah blah blah, you know,
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: And he went out on his terms. Good way to
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: go out and class act for him.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Man. So I say they get in because of their leadership.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Pap, you're the best. Thanks for swinging by. We'll look
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: for your lot later this week. Thanks Bud.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: All right, see you guys,
