Transcript
- 0:06Speaker 1: For the people. The Player's Choice awards were just announced.
- 0:11Speaker 1: We're going to focus on the player of the year. Okay,
- 0:16Speaker 1: the outstanding player in the American League, in the National League.
- 0:19Speaker 1: We're gonna start National League'll already tell you American League
- 0:21Speaker 1: because that's Kyle versus Judge. They went cal We can
- 0:24Speaker 1: talk about that later. To me, the more interesting one
- 0:27Speaker 1: here is Kyle Schwarber winning Player of the Year in
- 0:32Speaker 1: the National League.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Fatigue chosen by the player, Showy, and you can make
- 0:36Speaker 2: a little bit of a show, hey, Fatigue.
- 0:38Speaker 3: For sure.
- 0:38Speaker 1: We need to read some of the statistical differences stat
- 0:41Speaker 1: at baseball comping Schwarber and Otani this year for the
- 0:45Speaker 1: crowd that's going to listen to this podcast. Wise, both
- 0:48Speaker 1: of them playing just about a full season's worth of games,
- 0:51Speaker 1: the war number for show He Otani is seven point
- 0:53Speaker 1: seven Kyle Schwarber at four point seven. Otani has the
- 0:58Speaker 1: edge in patting average, on base percentage, slugging percentage ops
- 1:05Speaker 1: ops plus stolen bases. He's one shy of Schwarber's fifty
- 1:10Speaker 1: six home runs and he is thirty rbi shot.
- 1:14Speaker 3: That's more of a lineup thing, right, and it's I
- 1:17Speaker 3: mean that doesn't. That doesn't even we didn't even talk
- 1:19Speaker 3: about pitching.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Oh, right, and he pitched.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Oh and he pitched.
- 1:23Speaker 1: But what about Schwarbur's defense.
- 1:25Speaker 3: He doesn't have defense. He doesn't have defense either.
- 1:28Speaker 1: We're just looking offensively that that's so many players.
- 1:31Speaker 3: I told you.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Fatigue show a fatigue, right, cratzy Like people are just like, oh,
- 1:37Speaker 2: I'm tired of hearing about Shoreber had a good year.
- 1:38Speaker 2: I'll vote for him. Plus I'll also say that I
- 1:42Speaker 2: don't know show at all. I know Swarber a little bit,
- 1:44Speaker 2: but Schwarber has such a good reputation among so many
- 1:47Speaker 2: players are being this great guy. People vote for people
- 1:50Speaker 2: they like, and I don't know that how many people
- 1:52Speaker 2: know show not the show.
- 1:53Speaker 3: He is not a great guy at all.
- 1:55Speaker 2: He could be the best guy every time they show
- 1:57Speaker 2: him on TV, smiling and laughing and having a good time.
- 1:59Speaker 3: But I don't think.
- 2:00Speaker 2: I don't know that many people outside of the Dodgers
- 2:01Speaker 2: know him that well or as you see schwarbron like
- 2:04Speaker 2: college game day, Waring doing all these things. He was
- 2:06Speaker 2: on Fox One Big Noon the other day talking about Indiana.
- 2:10Speaker 2: So I think sometimes people see him and they're like, oh,
- 2:12Speaker 2: I like that guy. I'm gonna vote for him.
- 2:15Speaker 3: Keep it coming, keep it coming.
- 2:17Speaker 4: I got I got so much hate when I was
- 2:20Speaker 4: saying Otani is better than Ronald Acunya. Akunya was getting
- 2:26Speaker 4: so much he got he won this award over show Hey,
- 2:30Speaker 4: and I was like, what are we doing?
- 2:32Speaker 3: He's not a better.
- 2:33Speaker 4: Player, Like the best player in the game will always
- 2:37Speaker 4: be sho Hey Otani. If you're at d H with him,
- 2:40Speaker 4: he's better than you. Sorry, Kyle, Like Kyle Schwarber's season
- 2:44Speaker 4: was awesome, all the things that AJ said, He's an
- 2:47Speaker 4: awesome dude. Like they must have the Players Association must
- 2:52Speaker 4: have left show Hey off the list for players to
- 2:55Speaker 4: not vote for him over Schwarber, or the players are
- 3:01Speaker 4: just taking this and not and not taking it seriously enough,
- 3:04Speaker 4: which I think is a travesty, because, like I think
- 3:09Speaker 4: it's cool to know where you stand from your peers
- 3:12Speaker 4: probably means more to a player than what writers.
- 3:17Speaker 3: Think of you.
- 3:17Speaker 4: Yes, the MVP Award is an awesome, awesome award, but
- 3:21Speaker 4: it's what writers think of you. You know, maybe somebody's
- 3:24Speaker 4: you know, not a fan of you, so they didn't
- 3:26Speaker 4: choose you as the m v P, but your fellow players.
- 3:30Speaker 4: To me, I think they need to take a better
- 3:32Speaker 4: do a better job of taking some ownership for this
- 3:35Speaker 4: because it it would be it would be an honor
- 3:38Speaker 4: to get this award.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Kyle Schroerver won't get one first place vote for MVP.
- 3:46Speaker 1: He won't get one. He won't he's gonna be there.
- 3:50Speaker 1: What is it gonna be unanious?
- 3:51Speaker 4: Again?
- 3:51Speaker 1: For it might it might be unanimous. But even if
- 3:55Speaker 1: it wasn't, I can probably make a decent case for
- 3:58Speaker 1: like five to seven other player that should be in
- 4:01Speaker 1: the running. Kyle Schwarber had a great year with a
- 4:04Speaker 1: lot of pop. He's a DH, so he doesn't play
- 4:07Speaker 1: a position at all. That should be a huge, huge
- 4:10Speaker 1: negative against your case when you're a position player. If
- 4:13Speaker 1: you're a DH and you're going to win, you have
- 4:14Speaker 1: to be like show Hay in pitch, or you have
- 4:16Speaker 1: to put up dumb numbers. His numbers weren't dumb. They
- 4:19Speaker 1: were really good and he had a lot of homers.
- 4:22Speaker 1: They weren't dumb. If this is show Hey versus cal
- 4:26Speaker 1: this is where I disagree with Kratz. Show Hey versus
- 4:29Speaker 1: Cal or going back to show Hey versus Akunya, different
- 4:32Speaker 1: story to me, This one stands out so much Kratz
- 4:35Speaker 1: because this isn't even in the same stratosphere. That's what
- 4:39Speaker 1: he stands out to me. I think with a Kunya
- 4:41Speaker 1: setting records defense like that is more complete player. We're
- 4:45Speaker 1: talking about two dh is being matched up, where one
- 4:48Speaker 1: DH had a better season than the other. Show Hey,
- 4:51Speaker 1: and then he pitches, Huh, what am I miss?
- 4:57Speaker 4: I agree with you, this is this is a wider
- 5:00Speaker 4: app but I still think we should notice how much
- 5:03Speaker 4: of a gap it is between show Hay and everybody
- 5:06Speaker 4: else because we're comparing hitting stats with show Hay and
- 5:10Speaker 4: then he pitches.
- 5:13Speaker 1: We know the question We're going to ask many of
- 5:15Speaker 1: our current player friends in the off season where you wanted?
- 5:20Speaker 3: Were you one of those?
- 5:20Speaker 1: He voted for sure, and I'm genuinely curious what you
- 5:24Speaker 1: saw made you question this year?
- 5:30Speaker 4: The question should be how much do you actually take
- 5:33Speaker 4: ownership of this or how much do you like?
- 5:35Speaker 3: Hey? Who did who? Did you write down?
- 5:38Speaker 5: Hey?
- 5:38Speaker 4: Can you just fill this out for me? Hey, John
- 5:42Speaker 4: Clubhouse assistant Clubhouse Scott, can you fill this in and
- 5:45Speaker 4: send it off for me?
- 5:50Speaker 3: Exactly? That's what happens.
- 5:51Speaker 1: They might have thought it's just an offensive thing and
- 5:54Speaker 1: then they comp numbers and they go, Homer's RBIs done.
- 5:58Speaker 4: What maybe didn't did the players from the nineteen eighties
- 6:01Speaker 4: vote like show because every says player of the year,
- 6:06Speaker 4: that's why. And then they were like Pitcher of the
- 6:08Speaker 4: year the only thing I can think of, player of
- 6:10Speaker 4: the year.
- 6:12Speaker 3: And then pitcher of the year. That's why. Maybe they
- 6:14Speaker 3: didn't combine them.
- 6:15Speaker 1: But his stuff is supposed to combine, so maybe they
- 6:18Speaker 1: were just like, again, it's fatigua, it's show, Hey, fatigue Okay,
- 6:23Speaker 1: just wanted to get a check on that.
- 6:26Speaker 3: I mean, the rest of these are pretty yeah.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Yeah, everything else is fine, and you want over Judge.
- 6:30Speaker 3: I mean, Raley over Judge is interesting.
- 6:32Speaker 1: But nobody's like what I mean, we're gonna have the
- 6:36Speaker 1: same debate.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Marvin Miller Man of the Year is awesome. De gram
- 6:40Speaker 2: comeback player of the Year cool?
- 6:42Speaker 3: Great? Yeah, Acuna comeback player of the Year in the NL.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Okay, I know that this is not gospel, but just
- 6:48Speaker 1: to give perspective, I'm on Fangrafts fan Grafts war. It's
- 6:52Speaker 1: a little higher for shorter than Baseball Reference, which is
- 6:54Speaker 1: what we just showed, but Fangrafts has them at four
- 6:56Speaker 1: point nine, that ranks twenty fifth in baseball, twenty fifth
- 7:03Speaker 1: second on his own league players, right, Christopher Sanchez, no
- 7:09Speaker 1: turn Trey Turner's and Sanchez zero point seven. But there
- 7:14Speaker 1: are a number of other players in the National League
- 7:16Speaker 1: that ranked higher for all their Perdomo, Corp and Carol. Yeah,
- 7:20Speaker 1: Sanchez had the highest WAR in the National League, didn't
- 7:23Speaker 1: he Perdomo.
- 7:24Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he could be top three MVP.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Seven point one, Yeah, Lindora Tatis, Soto, Logan Webb, Lizardo, Sanchez, Schemes,
- 7:39Speaker 1: I mean, we got a lot on here. We've got
- 7:40Speaker 1: a lot rolling on here. All right, I'm a moto. Wait, actually,
- 7:46Speaker 1: I don't know if Schemes is on here? Is it?
- 7:49Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 7:49Speaker 4: He is?
- 7:50Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah he is.
- 7:52Speaker 4: Schemes is a little bit below Christopher Sanchez. Christopher Sanchez
- 7:56Speaker 4: somehow has a higher WAR. I don't know, that's right.
- 8:00Speaker 4: And look at war when.
- 8:00Speaker 1: It's pitchers no, no for pitching.
- 8:03Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Also it's six point five versus six point four. The
- 8:05Speaker 1: purpose of this exercise was to say there are so
- 8:09Speaker 1: many players above him, and again we're not knocking Kyle,
- 8:13Speaker 1: but there's just a big difference there. So anyway, don't
- 8:16Speaker 1: forget Otani still exists. This episode of FT is brought
- 8:23Speaker 1: to you by hul Cheers, Cheers. We got a new

- 9:28Speaker 1: and there's reports out there that Albert Kouhols is in
- 9:31Speaker 1: the running as a finalist for the Padres manager role.
- 9:37Speaker 1: There's others involved. We don't know the other names, but
- 9:39Speaker 1: they did the.
- 9:40Speaker 3: He's not going to the Orioles and he's not going
- 9:43Speaker 3: to the Angels.
- 9:44Speaker 1: There's still a lot of other teams, but those are
- 9:46Speaker 1: the two that he's going to manage. The Rockies, I.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Can manage the Dodgers.
- 9:51Speaker 1: No, he's not managing I'm talking about the openings. There's
- 9:53Speaker 1: still like five or six other opening But this seems
- 9:56Speaker 1: to be.
- 9:58Speaker 2: If someone really wants them to be a manager, like
- 10:00Speaker 2: they're really trying to get Albert Poole's a managerial job. Yeah,
- 10:04Speaker 2: somebody him him, I know I know him, But like
- 10:07Speaker 2: there's a lot of other people that that throw their
- 10:08Speaker 2: names in these rings. Like we'll use Mark de Rosa.
- 10:11Speaker 2: He's been trying, begging for years to get a managerial
- 10:13Speaker 2: job and he hasn't gotten one. I don't even know
- 10:16Speaker 2: if he's gotten to the second stage of any of
- 10:18Speaker 2: the interviews. But here Pools is again. So it's like
- 10:21Speaker 2: somebody I always felt like if you, especially if you
- 10:24Speaker 2: weren't a coach on a staff that wins, like if
- 10:26Speaker 2: you weren't like Craig Alberny's right, who was on the Guardians.
- 10:29Speaker 2: He's been around a little bit and he's coached and
- 10:31Speaker 2: everywhere he's kind of gone, they've done well, and then
- 10:33Speaker 2: someone's like.
- 10:33Speaker 3: Oh, we really should look into this guy.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Right, Will Venable kind of the same way, right coach
- 10:37Speaker 2: under Bochie and coach have been around a little bit
- 10:40Speaker 2: and did this and that and the boom. Brandon Hyde
- 10:43Speaker 2: was under Madden right for all those years, and Phil
- 10:45Speaker 2: Nevin was under Madden and Boone and then gets a job, right.
- 10:48Speaker 2: But for Albert Pooles, the next player, I always felt
- 10:51Speaker 2: like he either won a had to know somebody really well,
- 10:54Speaker 2: one of the front office people or beat. There's got
- 10:56Speaker 2: to be somebody behind you, whether it's an agent, MLB, whoever,
- 10:59Speaker 2: pushing you to get a job like we need Albert
- 11:02Speaker 2: Pools in the dugout ya Yati Molino has been doing this.
- 11:06Speaker 2: He's been kind of he's been kind of politicking a
- 11:09Speaker 2: little bit, not as much, but he's kind of been
- 11:11Speaker 2: doing it a little bit.
- 11:12Speaker 1: I think the difference with those two, without getting into
- 11:15Speaker 1: how you think they'll manage, is the media situation. Poohles
- 11:21Speaker 1: now is putting himself out there. There are still question
- 11:24Speaker 1: marks with Yadi about how he'll be as a team ambassador,
- 11:30Speaker 1: having to talk to media, whether he likes it or
- 11:32Speaker 1: not every single day. Is he going to be okay
- 11:35Speaker 1: with that? Is he going to like that? Mean, it's
- 11:36Speaker 1: an important part of the job these days, you're one.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Of the largest parts.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Yeah, and Pooholes is putting himself out there a lot
- 11:43Speaker 1: since he retired. Yeah, yes, Yadi hasn't And that's okay,
- 11:48Speaker 1: that's his choice. But I think that makes it easier
- 11:51Speaker 1: for spots because what do you do to try and
- 11:54Speaker 1: get the job, the manager jobkrats, What do you have
- 11:56Speaker 1: to do? What's the main thing that you have to do.
- 11:58Speaker 1: It's what's happening right now. It's a up question.
- 12:02Speaker 4: Yeah, just get your name out there, have people talk
- 12:04Speaker 4: about you, give your interviews.
- 12:06Speaker 1: Yeah, you're interviewing, and so owners are like, oh yeah,
- 12:10Speaker 1: pools like he's been around, he's he's talking. The guys
- 12:14Speaker 1: are talking about him.
- 12:19Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying.
- 12:19Speaker 2: But I feel like, again though, you feel like you
- 12:21Speaker 2: have to Yeah, but you again, oh, you have to
- 12:24Speaker 2: have people talking about you. They have to have people
- 12:26Speaker 2: pushing for it. But again, DeRos has done that. Why
- 12:29Speaker 2: hasn't he gotten a chance? I mean again, I'm not
- 12:33Speaker 2: I'm not knocking Mark the Rousse. I'm just amusing him
- 12:35Speaker 2: because he's on TV every day and he's managed Team
- 12:37Speaker 2: USA and there's people.
- 12:38Speaker 1: That have Yeah, I know him. I mean I don't know.
- 12:42Speaker 2: Again, I don't want people to think I'm I'm knocking
- 12:44Speaker 2: Mark the Rousse. I'm just using him because he's the
- 12:46Speaker 2: first one.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I just know from the past he had younger
- 12:50Speaker 1: kids at home and now they've gotten older obviously, but
- 12:53Speaker 1: I know you had, you know, two kids at home
- 12:56Speaker 1: and it's paid well and has a good setup. I
- 13:00Speaker 1: don't think you wanted to leave that setup. So I
- 13:02Speaker 1: don't know how serious he was taking it. So I
- 13:04Speaker 1: don't now, I don't know what the current situation is,
- 13:08Speaker 1: but in the past, I know that was part of it.
- 13:11Speaker 1: But Pooholes is ready to run, Yeah, and he wants
- 13:14Speaker 1: to go. He's like, send me back into the bigs man.
- 13:18Speaker 1: He's got the edge. Yeah, it doesn't mean he's gonna
- 13:21Speaker 1: get the Padres job. And also Padres job is interesting.
- 13:25Speaker 1: There's a lot going on there. It's a good competitive team.
- 13:27Speaker 1: That's great. There are a lot of strong persons.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Will see how they are next because they've got to
- 13:31Speaker 2: cut payroll again, is what they're saying.
- 13:33Speaker 3: And they have ceased as a free agent, right Suarez King?
- 13:38Speaker 3: Possibly isn't King King? Possibly a free agent. They don't
- 13:41Speaker 3: really have a catcher.
- 13:43Speaker 1: They have work to do.
- 13:44Speaker 3: They have some serious work to do. And again their
- 13:46Speaker 3: donors good, now, sorry, I forgot about me.
- 13:51Speaker 1: They do have a catcher.
- 13:52Speaker 2: I think a rise of free agent. He has one
- 13:54Speaker 2: more year rise free agent, rise free agent. So they
- 13:58Speaker 2: got some They're gonna have some things to plug in.
- 14:02Speaker 2: And if I think it wasn't about a few weeks ago,
- 14:05Speaker 2: wasn't there an article I thought I read whether there's
- 14:07Speaker 2: been some infighting amongst San Diego people and they want
- 14:10Speaker 2: to cut.
- 14:11Speaker 3: The payroll a little bit more. I don't know. I
- 14:13Speaker 3: could be wrong on that.
- 14:14Speaker 1: I mean, they had in fighting last year just over
- 14:16Speaker 1: the ownership of the team. And also they've shuffled through
- 14:19Speaker 1: a lot of managers. And you know, you can blame
- 14:23Speaker 1: the manager every time, but eventually you're like, why are
- 14:25Speaker 1: there so many manager shufflings going on here?
- 14:27Speaker 3: Too?
- 14:28Speaker 1: It's interesting.
- 14:29Speaker 3: It was a good job though.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 14:32Speaker 4: Now my thing with Poolosts is I'm going to go
- 14:34Speaker 4: back to what Phil Nevin said when Aaron Boone. I
- 14:38Speaker 4: was there when Joe Girardi left and Aaron Boone came in.
- 14:41Speaker 4: Phil Nevin had been in the game, he was managing
- 14:43Speaker 4: in Triple A. He really wanted to be a manager,
- 14:46Speaker 4: and he goes. I really felt like when I came
- 14:49Speaker 4: over to be here with Boone, he would have a
- 14:52Speaker 4: tough transition into being a manager, coming from coming from TV,
- 14:58Speaker 4: and I would have a with him, and Boonie could
- 15:01Speaker 4: not have done better like he was. He was so
- 15:05Speaker 4: locked in, he knew, he knew what was happening for
- 15:08Speaker 4: not being on the field. So I'll be interested to
- 15:10Speaker 4: see when puhost gets a job, because clearly he's gonna
- 15:13Speaker 4: get a job. And as hard as he's pushing for it,
- 15:17Speaker 4: how how locked in to Like, who's that bench coach?
- 15:22Speaker 4: You know? To me, you need an absolute g as
- 15:26Speaker 4: a bench coach. If you haven't been in the game
- 15:28Speaker 4: like I've been coaching high school baseball. If I would
- 15:31Speaker 4: go back and manage a big league team right now,
- 15:34Speaker 4: you to me, you have to get back up to speed.
- 15:37Speaker 4: I don't think it just happens like that. So I'll
- 15:39Speaker 4: be interested to see who they'd make his bench coach.
- 15:44Speaker 1: In credit to Kevin Acy good reporting, he's been all
- 15:47Speaker 1: over the.
- 15:48Speaker 2: I'm stilling to hear who the coaches for the Giants
- 15:53Speaker 2: are going to be with, Like Tello.
- 15:54Speaker 3: I haven't heard any of those names either.
- 15:56Speaker 1: Well, his press conference is on the off.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Day, Thursday, so I want to hear that's what That's
- 16:02Speaker 2: what's going to be interesting to me because he's never
- 16:03Speaker 2: even been in pro ball. I mean, Albert can probably
- 16:06Speaker 2: call up anybody in baseball and say, hey, you want
- 16:07Speaker 2: to come coach with me. I don't know Buster does too,
- 16:12Speaker 2: but like, it's not about Buster, it's about the manager.
- 16:15Speaker 2: And you got to work with the manager every day.
- 16:17Speaker 2: That's the thing, right Crash. The coaches have to be
- 16:18Speaker 2: able to work together. They have to get along, because
- 16:20Speaker 2: I've been on teams where coaches.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Don't get along. That's a miserable year. When you got
- 16:24Speaker 3: the hitting.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Coach and the pitching coach fighting, and the GM and
- 16:27Speaker 2: the manager and the division. It's just like, oh my gosh,
- 16:31Speaker 2: how would they expect us to win when these guys
- 16:32Speaker 2: are all fighting each other. Back to the Yankees again
- 16:36Speaker 2: in eighteen, they brought in Matt Blake, pitching coach. Was
- 16:39Speaker 2: in college and I remember looking at like, dude, this
- 16:44Speaker 2: guy has never he's never been in pro ball. Was
- 16:47Speaker 2: he was working with the with the Indians before that,
- 16:51Speaker 2: And I'm like.
- 16:51Speaker 4: Man, how is he going to? Like there's so many
- 16:54Speaker 4: things you don't know. You've never been on a big
- 16:55Speaker 4: league flight. You don't know about, you know, clubhouses and
- 16:59Speaker 4: tipping and all this stuff, and the schedule day to day.
- 17:03Speaker 4: You're just thrown right into the big league stuff that
- 17:05Speaker 4: you kind of learn when you're in the minor leagues.
- 17:08Speaker 4: So Tony Vattello, I assume he's going to get somebody
- 17:13Speaker 4: that is big lea, you know, has big league experience,
- 17:17Speaker 4: because there's a lot going on. You can't be like, hey,
- 17:19Speaker 4: why is our spring training not that efficient? You're like, bro,
- 17:23Speaker 4: you ain't never been to a big league spring training?
- 17:25Speaker 4: How do you know how it's supposed to go? Like
- 17:27Speaker 4: you want us to run sprints, you want us to,
- 17:30Speaker 4: you know, make sure we make it to class like
- 17:33Speaker 4: that's where he's been. So I think having a big
- 17:35Speaker 4: league bench coach and when I say a g I'm
- 17:38Speaker 4: talking about somebody that has run spring training, somebody that
- 17:41Speaker 4: has been through it for years and knows how that works,
- 17:45Speaker 4: because that is a huge, huge undertaking.
- 17:49Speaker 1: He will, he will. He's not bringing dudes up the street.
- 17:53Speaker 1: That's and Matt Blake's worked out pretty.
- 17:55Speaker 3: Well, so good.
- 17:57Speaker 4: Yeah, he was awesome, but he's a great person, and
- 17:59Speaker 4: so I think that's where That's where Tony Vittello, from
- 18:02Speaker 4: what I've heard his communication is ability to listen but
- 18:06Speaker 4: then also give instruction has to be, has to be
- 18:11Speaker 4: through the.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Roof, Padres, Giants, Batello versus Pooholes. That's fun storylines for
- 18:18Speaker 1: next year. That's what it looks like.
- 18:20Speaker 3: Versus the Rockies.
- 18:23Speaker 1: Hey, somebody is going to take over the Rockies GM
- 18:25Speaker 1: and manager soon too. We'll get to all that in
- 18:27Speaker 1: the off season. We had a few days left world
