  Speaker 1: one week away from opening Day from Major League Baseball,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: from real baseball.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I'm tired of watching
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: baseball with palm trees in the background. I need some
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: bad weather baseball. That's what I want.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Give me a snow game.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Come on, Yes, I want snow. I want I want
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: guys hitting a ball and I look into their eyes
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and I see the pain in their hands. I want
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: pictures looking unpleasant. I want all of it. That's what
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I want. That's what Mark.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you hitting with the clear frame because you
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: got snow flourished trying to hit your eyes and stuff,
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: and it's windy. But now I'm not gonna lie. I
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: actually didn't mind playning those those days because.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Nobody wants to play in it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: So it's just like you know what, but like you say,
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: let's you know, it's just a different scene from being
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: you know, palm trees or you know, being out in
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Arizona hot skies.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: It's just one of.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: Those things where the weather may suck, but it's also
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: the exciting thing where you know, these games, these games
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: mean something.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: It also helps that you were born and raised in
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati and you played March baseball in that weather your
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: whole life. You know.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they say, you know, you get used to it,
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: and I was like, no, I don't think you get
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: used to it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I just know how to.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Prepare, you know, double head up, vast, leaning up under.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: So I was good to go, all right.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: So the big thing for today as this show airs
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: on Friday in March twentieth, is the Spring Breakout Game.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: The Pirates have a pretty notable roster for this year's
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Spring Breakout Game. They just published it as we're recording
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: this Thursday morning. You look at some of the names
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: on here. Obviously you see Connor Griffin, Tamar Johnson on there.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: SETH Hernandez is the big name I think that everyone's
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: excited to see in this game, just because we've been
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: seeing Connor Griffin all spring. We saw a lot of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Tamar Johnson this spring. But this is really the first
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: look at Seth Hernandez that most Pirate fans are gonna
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: get because he's only nineteen years old. He wasn't in
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: big league camp this year. He didn't play much at all,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Think last yeah.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So I mean this is a chance for Pirate
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: fans to see this guy who's a top ten pick,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: nineteen years old and could potentially be you know, their
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: next ace, like the next wave of aces. Mark, We'll
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: start with you. Aside from the obvious names, I mean,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: here's another guy when you look at this list that
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: you're excited to see as Valdez.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I love the magician, excited to see him. We saw
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: him open in spring training this year. Another one is
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: like Tamar Johnson's another big name. But one of the
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: guys that I have a lot of fun watching is
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Tony Blanco Junior. Just insane, insane power if you can
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: the raw powers there, So we'll see if you can
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: do that in the games. Also, your Donnie de los
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Santos has had a fantastic spring. A young I think
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: he's like nineteen year old shortstop, so he's been putting
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: up some real big numbers checking in at the end
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: of the spring training games. And then also Christian Christian Kurz.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: I like Christian curves, but Brandon Budos his stuff is nasty.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Yet there's a lot of people hoping that he might
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: end up in the bullpen at some point this year
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: for the MLB team. So a couple of names there,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: but yeah, Seth Hernandez is going to be the headliner
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: for me.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm to add two quick names. And then I
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: got a questioned for Josh Levi. Sterling is a guy
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: that I've heard a lot of really good stuff about.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I believe he was a first round pick in twenty four.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I think he was in the I want to say
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: he was in the Griffin draft class.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: That sounds right.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was one of their supplementary round picks. And
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: then the other one is Calan Moss, who absolutely tore
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the cover off the baseball. He was part of the
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Bailey Falter trade return, an undrafted guy played I believe
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: D two baseball, so he's very much under the radar.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: People were kind of pissed when they saw that he
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: was part of the trade return for Bailey Falter. They
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: were like, who the hell is this guy? But he
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: was probably their best hitter post trade deadline in High
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: A last year. He'll probably play. I would think we
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: see him in Double A this year. He's a first baseman.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know what his ceiling is, but like I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: could see him if he continues to hit well, being
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: like another esmerln Valdez where he just kind of shoots
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: up prospect lists. So, yeah, those are some guys place right,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Oh exactly, Josh. I mean obviously they didn't have stuff
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: like this, you know, when you were coming up in
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the game. But I mean, how valuable is this for
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you know, a young eighteen to twenty year old kid
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: who's been playing on a backfield all day to get
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: some experience under the lights, going up against some guys
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: who are going to be in the major leagues like
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Bubba Chandler played in this game last year, yeah, the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: year before. Connor Griffin will be a big leaguer this year.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: How valuable is that to you know, be told like, hey,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you know, you're one of the top people in our
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: org and we want to see what you got against
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the best of the best from elsewhere.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Definitely an exciting thing for any name that's mentioned on
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: that lifts you mentioned these things weren't around when I
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: was playing. You either had, you know, instructional league, which
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: even an instruction it wasn't really made a big deal.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: And then the other thing is more son the off
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: season would be like the Arizona Fall League, where you know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: notoriety from you know, being like a minor league guy
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: or guys that might have you know, just been on
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: the fringe of breaking the big leagues. I think this
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: is pretty cool because want us in spring, and it
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: gives an opportunity not only for fans to see what's
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: to come. I think what it does is also allows
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: and just speaking here for you know, other teams, other scouts,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: because not everybody mentioned there. You know, you hope that
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: they played for the Pirates or play for the team
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: that they're you know, playing in the Breakthrough Series for.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: But at the same time, you've already mentioned a couple
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: of names on there. I think I've been acquired in trades.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: So it's one of those things where it's just another
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: way to highlight you know, some guys that may be
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: you know, somebody to keep tabs on in the near future.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: And for those guys that are getting to play, I
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: mean It's so much better than being on the backfields
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: where you got the win screen, you got you know,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: daily school bus traffic driving by where you know. It's
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: it's nice for these guys get to play in a
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: big league spring trying to feel be.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Under some lights and they'll kind of have that big
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: league feel.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be so exciting to see seth Rnandez
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: because I mean he's been pitching like on the backfields.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: He just pitched recently against the Braves, and this is
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: a nineteen year old who is throwing one hundred, throws
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: strikes and has a four four pitch mix where he
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: has the slider, curveball, change up, all of which you
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: can rely on and throw pretty well and accurately. So
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: I cannot wait to see him because everything we've been
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: hearing is like, this guy is the next big, big
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: name in the Pirates' pitching system.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: That change up. There's a reason seth Rnandez his change
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: up has an eighty grade. It's yeah, I think it's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: one of the best pitches in the ORG. And I'm talking.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: About so he's got like a he's got like a
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: plus plus change up and throws a hundred.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah at nineteen years old.
• 7:53

  Speaker 1: All right, so Jay, Hey, now what do you got
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: all to?
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Jay? Now?
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: The week out which means you know, things are ramping up,
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: and you know, for those that weren't in the Classic,
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: and you know, guys that have been you know, pretty
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: much in spring ramping up. You know, there's been a
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: pretty decent simple size to see guys getting ready. And
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: a guy that I want to highlight is a guy
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: that we had on here was Ryan O'Hearn. I think
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Ryan has had a pretty solid, you know start to
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: the spring, especially being in new colors, new threads, new
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: organization and just doing what he does. And obviously you
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: see they're one of his home runs. But one of
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: the things that I wanted to highlight was even with
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: things that bats, I want to say he's had maybe
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: close to thirty, but I wanted to highlight the I
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: think seven strikeouts, the seven walks.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: That ratio right there is a good ratio, especially.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Being in the middle of order, driving and runs and
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: you know, just having really good at bats. And for me,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: that that was an acquisition that they signed this this
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: off season and hopes to you know, boast that lineup
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: and this spring right now looks like, you know, it's
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: going to be a sign of good things to come.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: On the note of O'Hearn, I was. I just had
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: a one on one with Don Kelly, which will probably
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: be published by the time this podcast post Friday morning.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I asked him about like the revolving DH spot, right, like,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that's what we talked about, and the acquisition of Ozuna,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and he said, you know, when he called Reynolds and
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: O'Hearn before the move was made, they were both like absolutely,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: like we can get Ozuna, like we will take on
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that extra work. And he expected that from Reynolds because
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: he's known Reynolds for almost his entire major league career, right,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: but O'Hearn's knew and for him to sign a multi
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: year deal here probably to be pitched on like hey,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: half of your games are gonna come out of the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: d H spot and then you know, like I'm sure
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: there was some anxiety on Kelly's end making that phone call,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: being like, hey, we're thinking about signing this guy. I
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: know we just promised you one thing, but like, in mind,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: if we switch it up and ask you to do
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: something you never really done, and for Hearn to be like,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you know, absolutely do this, I think says a lot
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: about him. And for Kelly to share that too, you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: like if if it wasn't like a absolutely yes, I
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: don't think he's like rushing to the media to share
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So yeah, I mean, for all
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the things that Josh said, as far as what he
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: can contribute on the field, what he's looked like this spring,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think this is gonna be a guy
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: that you know you have you have to have guys
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: like that in order to win baseball games, Guys who
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: are flexible, guys who are thinking about the team. Obviously,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you know this is everyone's career, right, You're always you
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: always have to think about yourself because the organization thinks
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: about the team and not about the individuals. That's just
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the reality of pretty much any business here in right.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: It's about the bottom line. It's about the collective goal
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and not the individual goals. But at the same time,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: when you have a guy who can make sure he's
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: taking care of himself but also taking care of the
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: rest of the boys, that's huge And I think that's
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: what they have in O'Hearn, which is invaluable.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was gonna be my first comment as well.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: No Is, I've been so impressed by his buy in
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: with the position change. I mean saying he's like, I'm
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: a right fielder now.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: He doesn't.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: He's like, I'll play some first base if I need to.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I'll dh if I need to. But he's fully bought
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: in and committed to being in that outfield now, which
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: is really cool to see as like a guy that
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: just stepped into the team. That's a lot of transition,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: it's a lot of change, and he's handled it in
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: stride by still hitting well in the spring. He's consistently produced.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: He's consistently had great at bets, as Josh noted, with
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: seven strikeouts, seven walks and thirty plus at bets.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: So I'm yeah, I think he's gonna have a fantastic here,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: maybe compete for another All Star spot, and really contribute
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: for the Pirates. And this is a guy that they
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: just did not have last year. So having more offensive production,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, have been by far and away their best
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: bat last year. So adding him to this lineup is
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: going to make things a lot more fun to watch
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: at P and C this year.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Sure, you use the word that I was thinking by
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: in he bought in, and as basically, when you have
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: guys like that, to your point, to your credit, Noah
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: you know, not only is he worrying about himself for
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: it makes the team better.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Some quick clean up here from last show we talked about, Josh,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I believe you asked if the Pirate if Clevenger has
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: an out contract. So this comes from the Bucks on
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Deck the Bucks on Deck sub stack. There's some very
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: good information there for Pirate fans and even people who
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: cover the team like myself. Mike Clevenger actually does. He
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: has an upward mobility clause on March twentieth, so today,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: so the Pirates are going to have to make a decision,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: make a decisions today, and then he also has release
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: clauses on May first, June first, July first, and August fifth.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: That's a that's a later Pirates problem.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, but I mean that that deal won't
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: be for all three.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: That's why I was like, I was curious.
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: I know some guys will have one, and I thought
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: he might have been a guy that could have potentially
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: had one at the end of spring.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, that'll be an interesting thing to see.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Future no is probably writing about
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: this right now, so we'll see, we'll see what happens. Guys.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Any final thoughts before we wrap this one up.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: To be honest, I can't, did we I mean I
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: was gonna say tough loss for the USA in the Classic.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we mentioned that.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: We don't.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: We don't talk. Yeah what happened.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but I was gonna say, nonetheless, our boy Paul
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: did what he's supposed to, you know.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: But but I thought, you know, really good game.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: And uh, with that being said, that being over World
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: week away and excited for you know, this season to
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: get underway.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'll just piggyback off of that. Paul Skin's
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: walking out of the World Baseball Classic just looking like
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: there's steam coming out of his ears, just pissed off, livid.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I'm excited to see him walk into the season opening
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: day and take all of that pissed off energy out
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: on the Mets. So I can't wait under one week
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: away from baseball now, So get ready.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Mark, That's just kind of how he looks.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: When he watch Yeah, true. Yeah, he's around anyone that's
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: not Bobby with Junior yeah yeah, or like.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: A fire truck.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like those two things.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just kind of how he is. No, but
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: in all seriousness, that was an awesome tournament. I think
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: it was an overwhelmingly net positive for the game of baseball.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Team USA probably didn't do itself any favors with some
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: of the things that happened throughout that tournament, but I
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: think a lot of people. I think it's always good
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: when people get to experience what they love through different culture,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: right there, if they're fans of music, if they're fans
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: of food, if they're fans of art, and in this case,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: fans of baseball. Seeing that, you know what, hey, people
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: who look different than me, who talk different than me,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and who you know, they live a different lifestyle than me.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: They play this game a little differently, but at the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: end of the day, they love it just the way
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I do. And my style might not be the same
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: way as their style. But together, when we all come
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: together and we play in this tournament, we all get
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: to celebrate the thing that we collectively love, which is baseball,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and I hope that, you know, people embrace that. And
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: it seems like they did. It seemed you know, Josh,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: like when not long ago, when you were playing, bat
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: flips were taboo. You were a bad guy if you
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: did it. Now you're getting criticized like tim Usa is
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: getting crapped on because they're not bat flipping and they're
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: of jackets and you know, pop in their chain when
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: they hit a home run. Like that's where the games at.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: You know, they want to see people having fun and
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: playing baseball like a kid's game, because it is a
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: kid's game. And I thought that that was a great
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: overall message to come from this year's World Baseball Classic.
• 17:08
