Speaker 1: Good afternoon and happy Friday, everybody. Welcome to fowl Territory.
0:09
Speaker 1: That is Eric Kratz. I am Alana Rizzo, pinch hitting
0:12
Speaker 1: for Scott Braun, who is going to be back on Tuesday.

0:25
Speaker 1: Eric any big plans for the weekend?
0:29
Speaker 2: Big plans I got. We got a baseball game. It's
0:32
Speaker 2: going to be seventy two degrees up.
0:33
Speaker 3: Here on Sunday.
0:34
Speaker 2: I have a rule when I quit playing baseball that
0:37
Speaker 2: I would not go golfing if I went on my own,
0:42
Speaker 2: but if somebody asks me, that's the only time I
0:44
Speaker 2: go golfing.
0:45
Speaker 3: So I got.
0:46
Speaker 2: Invited to go golfing Sunday, and my wife said, of
0:48
Speaker 2: course you can go.
0:52
Speaker 3: Nicely.
0:53
Speaker 1: What a nice wife. Seventy two degrees. I am jealous.
0:56
Speaker 1: We are still in the high thirties, low forties here
1:00
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts, so I am jealous about that. All right, guys,
1:04
Speaker 1: it is time to charge the mound at presented by
1:11
Speaker 1: Fox one. We appreciate Fox one being a partner with us,
1:15
Speaker 1: So what do you think about this being a former
1:17
Speaker 1: catcher yourself. The Mets, apparently eric are calling pitches from
1:21
Speaker 1: the dugout. Apparently they're taking a page out of the
1:25
Speaker 1: Miami Marlins book. Quote. Hey Castillo and Alden Gonzalez, who
1:29
Speaker 1: write for ESPN, said the Mets are experimenting with dugout
1:32
Speaker 1: relaying pitch calls to the catcher. Now take us back
1:35
Speaker 1: to how typically you would have a pitch call relayed
1:39
Speaker 1: to you when you played, and tell us more about
1:42
Speaker 1: what they're trying to do.
1:44
Speaker 2: I mean, for me, I would call the pitches. Whether
1:47
Speaker 2: the pitcher liked how it's going the game or not,
1:51
Speaker 2: they would shake off. So that's the traditional way it's
1:54
Speaker 2: always going. You're reading the swings, you're looking at the situation.
1:59
Speaker 2: You're also remember bring all the numbers in your head.
2:01
Speaker 2: You build out your own scattered report. You remember, oh yeah,
2:05
Speaker 2: how did that picture face this guy in his career?
2:08
Speaker 2: Is it one at bat? Did he have twenty at
2:10
Speaker 2: bats against him? And so all that goes into the
2:13
Speaker 2: decision that now is on a pitch clock. So we
2:17
Speaker 2: heard from the Marlins the Marlins are doing a Hey,
2:20
Speaker 2: we're calling the pitches. But we've also heard from their
2:22
Speaker 2: pictures that if they don't want it, they can shake
2:25
Speaker 2: it off.
2:25
Speaker 3: I don't know how much Lee Way.
2:29
Speaker 2: Augustine Ramirez, a catcher for the Marlins, will have in
2:34
Speaker 2: saying Okay, maybe I don't like that call, or maybe
2:37
Speaker 2: I'm already have something in my mind. I haven't heard
2:41
Speaker 2: enough of that, but we know from the pictures. I
2:42
Speaker 2: think Tyler Phillips was on he said, you know, if
2:45
Speaker 2: you don't like it, it's a suggestion and you can
2:47
Speaker 2: shake it off. The Mets, I think are going what
2:51
Speaker 2: I would consider the next tier down, which is something
2:53
Speaker 2: that I think is has been done. I think it's
2:58
Speaker 2: been done in different places. This is because you sit
3:01
Speaker 2: there and you go. You don't have all the answers
3:04
Speaker 2: as a catcher. Some catchers would say, yeah, you just throw,
3:07
Speaker 2: you just throw whatever I call. I never was a
3:10
Speaker 2: fan of that because I was always looking at it
3:13
Speaker 2: like I'm giving you a suggestion. I want you to
3:16
Speaker 2: feel comfortable with the pitch that you're calling, and this
3:19
Speaker 2: pitch is what I'm seeing and reading, and you know what,
3:22
Speaker 2: if you give up a hit on the pitch I call.
3:24
Speaker 2: I want both of us to have the same ownership
3:26
Speaker 2: on it. So when you add in a third party
3:30
Speaker 2: from the dugout, my issue is, what are you seeing
3:34
Speaker 2: from the dugout that I'm not seeing from the field. Now,
3:38
Speaker 2: I'm not seeing from this hitter. Now, I'm not seeing
3:40
Speaker 2: from the pitcher, and how he's throwing on, what his
3:43
Speaker 2: cutter looks like that day, a slider looks like that day.
3:46
Speaker 2: They're just looking from the dugout. They go to the
3:48
Speaker 2: iPad and they go forty three percent sliders in a
3:53
Speaker 2: two to two count. Okay, we're either going off of
3:56
Speaker 2: that or we're like, oh, this guy can't hit a slider,
3:59
Speaker 2: so we're gonna go rate to it.
4:00
Speaker 3: They're working on the numbers, you're working on the vision.
4:03
Speaker 3: So to me, the.
4:04
Speaker 2: METS, I kind of like it a little bit, But
4:08
Speaker 2: you're really towing the line there, I don't.
4:12
Speaker 1: I think it just adds another wrinkle, another level of communication,
4:16
Speaker 1: another layer. Rather, I think ultimately it is the picture's
4:20
Speaker 1: decision as to what he wants to throw. He will
4:22
Speaker 1: end up having to own it if it is the
4:23
Speaker 1: wrong picture and he is shaking you off. But doesn't
4:26
Speaker 1: it just add another layer of perhaps confusion lost in
4:30
Speaker 1: translation type of situation. Why do we need to get
4:34
Speaker 1: calls now being relaid from the dugout. Do you not
4:37
Speaker 1: trust your catcher enough? Are you relying too much on analytics?
4:42
Speaker 1: What is the other side of this coin.
4:45
Speaker 2: The other side in the negative sense, or I mean
4:48
Speaker 2: in the other side, the other side is that you're
4:52
Speaker 2: just going by the numbers, and just going by the
4:56
Speaker 2: numbers is all find and good.
4:58
Speaker 3: The numbers are the numbers for reason.
5:00
Speaker 2: There's a large sample size, and I am a big
5:05
Speaker 2: proponent of it. But a season can sway on one
5:08
Speaker 2: pitch or another. I heard the twenty eighteen when the
5:12
Speaker 2: Red Sox won the World Series that in one of
5:15
Speaker 2: their post season leading up to the regular season the
5:21
Speaker 2: nineteen regular season, the people from and I don't know
5:25
Speaker 2: exactly who all said it, but it was directed towards
5:29
Speaker 2: the pitching coach, pitching staff, you know, pitch calling people
5:35
Speaker 2: on the big league team. A group from the analytic
5:39
Speaker 2: department said, if you guys would have listened to exactly
5:44
Speaker 2: the pitches that we had on our sheet, you would
5:47
Speaker 2: have had a half a run lower team ERA for
5:51
Speaker 2: the season, to the point the Red Sox that year
5:54
Speaker 2: led the league in ERA. If I'm not mistaken, if
5:57
Speaker 2: they if they didn't lead the league. They were top
5:59
Speaker 2: three in twenty eighteen and they won the World Series.
6:02
Speaker 2: So you could not have had more success than what
6:05
Speaker 2: they had. But analytically they look at it and they
6:07
Speaker 2: go would have been half a run less. And I
6:10
Speaker 2: don't one hundred percent agree with that, because there's situations
6:14
Speaker 2: when Chris Sale goes out there and his slider is
6:17
Speaker 2: not exactly the way it normally looks, you're gonna have
6:20
Speaker 2: to work in more heaters. You go out there in
6:22
Speaker 2: a situation where Chris Sales faced player X and he's
6:27
Speaker 2: had success, and the numbers would say, yes, you need
6:32
Speaker 2: to throw a slider, but history would say if you
6:35
Speaker 2: throw a slider in this situation, he's gonna slowly work
6:38
Speaker 2: the batter into an ability to hit his pitches. And
6:43
Speaker 2: so that's the give and take, that's the push in
6:45
Speaker 2: the pool, and ultimately the one of the things that
6:47
Speaker 2: you said, Alana, is what I'm fearful of. When you
6:51
Speaker 2: used to make a bad pitch call, or when when
6:54
Speaker 2: you used to give up a hit, you'd come in
6:56
Speaker 2: as a catcher and go into the dugout and the
6:58
Speaker 2: pitching coach would sit down there, he put his hand
7:01
Speaker 2: on your leg and be like, what were you thinking
7:02
Speaker 2: right there?
7:03
Speaker 3: What's the deal?
7:05
Speaker 2: And as a catcher, as a young catcher, you sit
7:08
Speaker 2: there and you go, oh man, sorry, like yeah, and
7:12
Speaker 2: then the pitching coach kind of gets back on you
7:14
Speaker 2: and gets back on you, gets back on you, and
7:17
Speaker 2: ultimately it's the result of the pitch. And ultimately, as
7:21
Speaker 2: a catcher, when you take that next step as a
7:23
Speaker 2: pitch caller, you look at that pitching coach and you go,
7:27
Speaker 2: you know what, if you can do better, why don't
7:29
Speaker 2: you call the pitchers Because I'm out there trying to
7:31
Speaker 2: make the best decision. And that's when the pitching coach
7:35
Speaker 2: knows that the catcher has taken that next step, graduated
7:39
Speaker 2: to that next step of I'm confident in my decision
7:42
Speaker 2: because of this. So it's less about the pitch that
7:45
Speaker 2: you're calling and more about the reason you're calling it.
7:49
Speaker 2: And when you're only calling it from the dugout, the
7:51
Speaker 2: reason you're calling it is because you got it on
7:54
Speaker 2: your computer.
7:54
Speaker 3: That's in my opinion, this one's for the dudes looking
7:59
Speaker 3: for peak.

8:58
Speaker 1: Eric, what about the element of feel? You look at
9:02
Speaker 1: your numbers and I can understand that there is a
9:03
Speaker 1: place for saber metrics. I can understand there's a place
9:06
Speaker 1: for analytics in the game. But let's say you're looking
9:09
Speaker 1: at your sheet and you're saying, all right, this guy
9:11
Speaker 1: has this type of average against a slider blah blah blah,
9:14
Speaker 1: and a two to two count or a three to
9:16
Speaker 1: two count, you should throw it here. What if your
9:18
Speaker 1: pitcher that day didn't have the slider in the bullpen session,
9:22
Speaker 1: couldn't transition it to a game. The slider's not working
9:26
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, you have to go a different off
9:28
Speaker 1: speed pitch, or you're just relying on the fastball to
9:30
Speaker 1: figure it out. How much does feel play a part
9:33
Speaker 1: in this? I can understand that they said, Okay, if
9:35
Speaker 1: you want to shake us off, if you don't want
9:37
Speaker 1: to use it, that's fine in terms of our suggestion
9:39
Speaker 1: when we're relaying a certain call. But as the catcher,
9:42
Speaker 1: you know what your pitcher has working that day. I
9:46
Speaker 1: would imagine feel is a huge part of what you're
9:48
Speaker 1: putting down or putting in your PitchCom or whatever it is.
9:52
Speaker 1: In this day and age.
9:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is feel, but it's also you better get
9:57
Speaker 2: it right. You better get it like your look at it.
10:00
Speaker 2: You go into Colorado, we had Cliff Lee and Roy
10:04
Speaker 2: holiday On in the same rotation. Cliff Lee had a
10:07
Speaker 2: great cutter. He would throw his cutter all the time,
10:09
Speaker 2: and his cutter would sink that one the one day
10:12
Speaker 2: that he threw in Colorado when I was there with him.
10:15
Speaker 2: So it was it was sinking or it was staying straight.
10:18
Speaker 2: So you're like, I can't call the cutter because you
10:20
Speaker 2: want to call the cutter in to be able jam
10:22
Speaker 2: guys up inside. But if that stays out over the plate,
10:25
Speaker 2: that's dangers. Roy Holliday, great sinker, also a good cutter.
10:30
Speaker 2: His sinker was cutting. His cutter was sinking. So you
10:33
Speaker 2: sit there and you go, you're looking over and you go,
10:36
Speaker 2: what do you want me to throw?
10:37
Speaker 3: Oh? A cutter?
10:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you. But a sinker right here
10:40
Speaker 2: is what the cutter is. So how can you you know,
10:43
Speaker 2: you're already working those things in your head. You're already
10:47
Speaker 2: talking to the picture in between innings. So I think
10:49
Speaker 2: it's something that the feel is so important. It's so
10:55
Speaker 2: important to be able to say, Okay, this is our
10:57
Speaker 2: game plan. Holy crap, we just gave up a first
11:00
Speaker 2: pitch triple. What do we go to now?
11:03
Speaker 3: Not?
11:03
Speaker 2: Oh, well, now it's a second hitter. Analytically, it doesn't
11:07
Speaker 2: really matter who's on base when you're calling pitches. Well
11:10
Speaker 2: it does because you have different guys that have different approaches.
11:13
Speaker 2: When there's different situations, and so you have to have
11:17
Speaker 2: that feel and it's a constant feel, and I just
11:20
Speaker 2: I'm not completely against it. I'm just wondering how the
11:25
Speaker 2: person calling the pitches from the dugout is going to
11:28
Speaker 2: also have that feel without talking in between innings, which
11:32
Speaker 2: you're doing anyway, without somebody calling the pitches.
11:36
Speaker 1: One other thing about this before we move on and
11:38
Speaker 1: welcome in Susan Slesser, who is a writer for the
11:41
Speaker 1: San Francisco Chronicle covering the Giants. What about this do
11:46
Speaker 1: you fear if you do that, perhaps it will allow
11:49
Speaker 1: a younger catcher to continue to second and guess themselves
11:53
Speaker 1: and not take the next step in their own development
11:57
Speaker 1: of calling pitches. If they're so reliant on someone calling
12:01
Speaker 1: pitches in the dugout laying those pitches to them, are
12:05
Speaker 1: they going to be willing to take a stand and
12:07
Speaker 1: take the next step because of fear of making a mistake.
12:12
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's either way. That's either way you're
12:15
Speaker 2: you're gonna if you're calling them on your own, you
12:17
Speaker 2: feel you're gonna have that fear that you're gonna make
12:20
Speaker 2: a mistake. If you're getting them from them, If you're
12:23
Speaker 2: getting from the dugout. You're gonna have to learn to
12:26
Speaker 2: be like, no, I'm saying this with my chest, I'm
12:29
Speaker 2: calling this pitch. I don't think what you're calling is
12:32
Speaker 2: the right call because you have to step out on
12:34
Speaker 2: a limb and say I think this is best and
12:38
Speaker 2: ultimately the game is played on the field. Ultimately the
12:40
Speaker 2: game is played on the field, and there's there's a
12:43
Speaker 2: there's also a value that I can't quantify, but I
12:46
Speaker 2: think teams might be able to what pressure does this
12:49
Speaker 2: alleviate from some of these younger catchers who can also hit.
12:53
Speaker 2: To me, I couldn't hit. Everybody makes fun of my war,
12:57
Speaker 2: my batting average, all that stuff. I wasn't as good
12:59
Speaker 2: as a hitter as the two teams we're talking about.
13:01
Speaker 2: Francisco or Augustine Ramirez both really good hitters. So does
13:09
Speaker 2: this take some of that onus off of them and
13:13
Speaker 2: get them ten extra hits fifteen extra hits during the year.
13:17
Speaker 2: I don't know, but if that's the case, there is
13:20
Speaker 2: a value to that too.
13:22
Speaker 1: Yeah. I guess it depends on what it is that
13:24
Speaker 1: you're looking for. One Mets player described the dugout sign
13:27
Speaker 1: as a suggestion so the Carlos Mendoza and the Mets
13:31
Speaker 1: working through it. See what they do in terms of
13:34
Speaker 1: transitioning that to the regular season. Well, this episode is

14:00
Speaker 3: That's what he said.
14:01
Speaker 4: That's what he said.
14:07
Speaker 1: We're bothcome me back alive. The foul territory. Bobashet is
14:10
Speaker 1: embracing the New York Spotlight. Aims to be quote, one
14:14
Speaker 1: of the best players in the game. I love this
14:17
Speaker 1: about him, and it continues eric about I am capable
14:20
Speaker 1: of being. This is in the athletic I am capable
14:22
Speaker 1: of being. I don't think you can say the best
14:24
Speaker 1: player in the game, because that is subjective, but I
14:27
Speaker 1: can be one of the best players in the game.
14:29
Speaker 1: I love that. I love that he wants to be that.
14:31
Speaker 1: Understanding the big stage that he's in. He always said
14:34
Speaker 1: he wanted to play on the biggest stage. He didn't
14:36
Speaker 1: necessarily think it was going to be New York as
14:38
Speaker 1: a kid. He was thinking more you know, World Series, WBC,
14:41
Speaker 1: those types of things. But you've got to have that attitude.
14:45
Speaker 1: I think you've played in New York, You've got to
14:46
Speaker 1: have that attitude if you want to embrace what the
14:50
Speaker 1: expectations are.
14:52
Speaker 3: I don't think New York can affect him. I just
14:54
Speaker 3: I just feel like he was.
14:55
Speaker 2: We interviewed him the other day when we were at
14:57
Speaker 2: Mets camp, and like, I just think there's a different
15:03
Speaker 2: confidence swag in there that I think other players maybe
15:08
Speaker 2: sometimes lack, and that's what affects them in New York
15:11
Speaker 2: because you have to be confident in yourself. But you
15:13
Speaker 2: have to be confident in yourself to be one of
15:16
Speaker 2: the best players. And when he said that, he was honest, like, look,
15:20
Speaker 2: the best player in the game is Shoeo Tani. It's
15:22
Speaker 2: everybody else after Shoho Tani. And to be one of
15:27
Speaker 2: the best players in the game, you have to do
15:29
Speaker 2: something better than everybody else. And to me, he he,
15:35
Speaker 2: I mean, he's gonna he's gonna lead the league in
15:36
Speaker 2: hits at some point, in the next three years. Maybe
15:40
Speaker 2: this year he knows how to hit. He has a
15:43
Speaker 2: hit tool, whereas batting average might not be super high
15:46
Speaker 2: because he doesn't walk, but maybe these walks go up
15:49
Speaker 2: this year because you know he's around the guy watching,
15:52
Speaker 2: a guy like Juan Soto. But part of the reason
15:54
Speaker 2: he gets so many hits is because he's able to
15:57
Speaker 2: make contact with so many different pitches and he's able
16:01
Speaker 2: to hit those balls hard still where other guys make
16:04
Speaker 2: weak contact and they're getting out. So could he be
16:07
Speaker 2: one of the best players. Absolutely. I think he's had
16:10
Speaker 2: four two three four seasons where he's gotten MVP votes,
16:15
Speaker 2: so yes, he's in that category. Does he want to
16:17
Speaker 2: get in the top ten and MVP votes, Absolutely, But
16:20
Speaker 2: the only way that happens is if he stays healthy
16:23
Speaker 2: and his team is winning, because he will be a
16:27
Speaker 2: central focal point of this team. Juan Soto's the guy,
16:31
Speaker 2: but he will definitely be a central focal point and
16:33
Speaker 2: if they're winning, that means he's doing good.
16:35
Speaker 1: But I love what his former manager, John Schneider of
16:38
Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue Jays said about him, because I get
16:40
Speaker 1: that sense. And I don't know Bobashut personally, but He
16:43
Speaker 1: said that he's always very quiet, but when he speaks,
16:46
Speaker 1: people listen. People knew he had a lot to offer.
16:49
Speaker 1: He was very meticulous with what he said and how
16:51
Speaker 1: he said it, when he said it to players, to
16:53
Speaker 1: the media. That's what I love about him. He doesn't
16:55
Speaker 1: just speak to speak. It's like, I know, perhaps a
16:58
Speaker 1: lot of the people listening and watching don't remember the
17:00
Speaker 1: commercials about Ef Hutton. I don't even know if you do, Eric,
17:03
Speaker 1: I'm older than you. But it's like when you know,
17:05
Speaker 1: when if Hutton talks, people listen. That's what I feel
17:08
Speaker 1: like Bobashett is. He's not a guy that has to
17:11
Speaker 1: talk a lot, but when he does talk, people are
17:13
Speaker 1: paying attention. It's that quiet confidence that I like about him.
17:19
Speaker 2: Let your bat speak. I guess you let your bat speak.
17:22
Speaker 2: And anybody anybody that says, oh man, that guy talks
17:27
Speaker 2: a lot, he seems really confident, it's not true at all,
17:31
Speaker 2: Especially in sports. The loudest guys are usually the most
17:35
Speaker 2: insecure guys. Not all the time, not all the time.
17:38
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's just personality. But the confident guys don't need
17:42
Speaker 2: to talk a lot. They don't need to say, they
17:44
Speaker 2: don't need to have this like voistous like appearance. Even
17:49
Speaker 2: they just go out, they do their work because they
17:52
Speaker 2: know what it takes to succeed. And I think he definitely,
17:56
Speaker 2: he definitely owns that. And if somebody knows him as
17:58
Speaker 2: a professional, it's Johns. John Schneider coached him at different
18:03
Speaker 2: no way. I think he managed him at a bunch
18:04
Speaker 2: of different levels in the minor leagues with the Blue Jays,
18:07
Speaker 2: and then he became He was a coach when bo
18:10
Speaker 2: first got called up, and now he's been his manager
18:13
Speaker 2: for a few years. So if there's somebody that knows
18:15
Speaker 2: him and Vlad, it's my roomy, John Schneider.
18:18
Speaker 1: What about the protection that he's going to get in
18:21
Speaker 1: the Mets lineup versus the protection that he had in
18:24
Speaker 1: the Jay's lineup. How do you think these lineups compared
18:27
Speaker 1: to talking about getting them, you know, having the most hits,
18:29
Speaker 1: getting some of the most hits, most walks, those types
18:32
Speaker 1: of things, having the different lineup around him, How do
18:35
Speaker 1: you think this lineup will serve him better? If in
18:38
Speaker 1: fact you do, maybe not.
18:41
Speaker 2: I mean I think it depends on where he's hitting
18:44
Speaker 2: in the lineup. And without making a mistake, I am
18:48
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent sure where he's going to hit
18:50
Speaker 2: in the lineup.
18:50
Speaker 3: If he's going to be.
18:51
Speaker 2: In front of one Soto, behind Juan Soto, I think
18:54
Speaker 2: it'll manipulate some of his numbers. If you're hitting in
18:57
Speaker 2: front of Wan Soto, I think you have of the
19:01
Speaker 2: opportunity to get strikes. And with Boba Shet, a guy
19:05
Speaker 2: who does not walk. To me, my scattered report is
19:09
Speaker 2: I need to make him expand, expand, So sometimes you
19:12
Speaker 2: got to go higher than high with your fastball. Sometimes
19:16
Speaker 2: you're just up in the zone. He can still contact
19:19
Speaker 2: that you're just two inches off the play. With your slider,
19:22
Speaker 2: he's able to make good contact and go with that pitch.
19:25
Speaker 2: But when you have if he's hitting in front of
19:28
Speaker 2: Endor or in front of one Sodo, they don't want
19:31
Speaker 2: they don't want you. They don't want to face Juan
19:34
Speaker 2: Soto with a runner on base. They don't want to
19:36
Speaker 2: face Vladimir Guerrero with a runner on base. Those are
19:39
Speaker 2: two guys that can do damage and control the strike
19:42
Speaker 2: zone so well. So to me, the more pitches he gets,
19:46
Speaker 2: the more hits he's gonna get. And because he's he's
19:49
Speaker 2: never gonna really walk. And you big Lee pitchers do
19:52
Speaker 2: not want to go way out of the zone and
19:55
Speaker 2: walk a guy who doesn't walk. But if he's hitting
19:57
Speaker 2: behind those guys, if he was hitting behind Vladimir Guerrero,
20:01
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what the lineup construction was or is
20:03
Speaker 2: going to be for the Mets, then those RBIs are
20:06
Speaker 2: going to go up. Then you're talking about a guy
20:08
Speaker 2: with a hit tool like that that can go to
20:11
Speaker 2: all parts of the ballpark, that can get those hits
20:13
Speaker 2: with runners in scoring position. You're talking about last year,
20:17
Speaker 2: if he didn't get hurt, one hundred plus, one hundred
20:19
Speaker 2: and ten plus RBI guy, he could do that for
20:22
Speaker 2: the Mets. That is where That's where I think his
20:25
Speaker 2: his abilities hitting. It's kind of like a chameleon. It
20:28
Speaker 2: kind of depends on where he's at in the lineup.
20:31
Speaker 1: I feel like so many topics of conversation Eric the
20:34
Speaker 1: last couple of years, maybe even the last three years,
20:37
Speaker 1: was that the window for Vladimir Guerrero Junior and Bobashet
20:40
Speaker 1: we're closing playing together, and then it became the distraction.
20:43
Speaker 1: Perhaps maybe that's not the right term, but then it
20:45
Speaker 1: became the conversation of well, Vladdie's locked up are they
20:48
Speaker 1: going to also lock up, but well, obviously that didn't happen.
20:51
Speaker 1: He is now a New York meant for the foreseeable future.
20:53
Speaker 1: How much can that help him not worry about like
20:55
Speaker 1: he knows where he's playing, he knows where I am.
20:57
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to worry about am I going to
20:59
Speaker 1: be here next year? The the contract talks and those
21:01
Speaker 1: types of things. How much can that help?
21:04
Speaker 2: I think it can definitely help. And I don't know
21:05
Speaker 2: that necessarily hurt Bo this past year. I think it
21:09
Speaker 2: was the year before when, from what I heard, the
21:12
Speaker 2: conversations were already happening about extensions, and maybe his feelings
21:18
Speaker 2: got hurt during that time. All that beside us, all
21:20
Speaker 2: that behind us. This is essentially still a one year deal.
21:24
Speaker 2: Like this is bobashek goes out and has the year
21:28
Speaker 2: that won he wants to have, the Mets want him
21:30
Speaker 2: to have, and the league wants him to have because
21:33
Speaker 2: he can be a star in this league.
21:35
Speaker 3: Not a superstar, but a star.
21:37
Speaker 2: Then he's gonna go back out on the market and
21:40
Speaker 2: he's gonna get an even bigger contract, but for a
21:43
Speaker 2: longer period of time. So it's really a win win
21:47
Speaker 2: for him. So there could still be that pressure of ooh,
21:49
Speaker 2: I'm going back out there. Oh, you know, how does
21:53
Speaker 2: this season if I start out slow? How does this
21:55
Speaker 2: affect my essential free agency?
21:58
Speaker 3: We'll see.
22:00
Speaker 1: There was a rumor last year from some execs eric
22:04
Speaker 1: according to a report on bleacher Report, that the Mets
22:08
Speaker 1: clubhouse last season was a bit of a show, a
22:10
Speaker 1: bit of a shit show, if you will, gripping the
22:13
Speaker 1: Mets clubhouse and offseason moves quote, it was a disaster.
22:17
Speaker 1: At least one MLB executive believe that the Mets had
22:20
Speaker 1: must have must have had serious issues after letting Pete
22:22
Speaker 1: Alonzo walk, Brandon Nimo go, Jeff McNeil is gone, obviously.
22:27
Speaker 1: Do you think bobashett with this, you know what he
22:29
Speaker 1: just said about wanting to be one of the better
22:31
Speaker 1: players in the game can bring some new energy, new light,
22:34
Speaker 1: kind of help with those clubhouse troubles of fact, if
22:39
Speaker 1: they were, or as the new guy in there, are
22:41
Speaker 1: you not even trying to mess with that? And what's
22:43
Speaker 1: going on between perhaps Soto and Lindor and all of
22:46
Speaker 1: those things.
22:48
Speaker 2: That's a lot, I mean, that's a lot going on.
22:50
Speaker 2: It's a lot to ask a guy who we just
22:52
Speaker 2: spoke about it. He's kind of introverted, he's kind of quieter,
22:56
Speaker 2: So I don't think the Mets are necessarily looking for
22:58
Speaker 2: him to be the leader. I think the Mets, if
23:01
Speaker 2: they had clubhouse issues last year, are looking to make
23:05
Speaker 2: the clubhouse feel more more together and less individual. Can
23:11
Speaker 2: you do that with superstars like Lindor and Soto? Can
23:15
Speaker 2: you do that with a whole cavalcade of new guys
23:20
Speaker 2: coming into the clubhouse. That's tough because you're like, Oh,
23:24
Speaker 2: the clubhouse vibe is gonna be so much better this year,
23:26
Speaker 2: Like how do you know? How do you know it
23:29
Speaker 2: will be? Like Pete was a guy that had been
23:31
Speaker 2: there for a long time. Did he not get along
23:34
Speaker 2: with Juan Soto? Did he not get along with Francisco?
23:36
Speaker 2: Like we haven't heard that stuff. We haven't heard, you know,
23:40
Speaker 2: who was complaining about what or why this was said.
23:44
Speaker 2: I have a hard time believing that they had a
23:46
Speaker 2: clubhouse issue, except for the fact that they didn't make
23:50
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So anytime you don't make the playoffs, just
23:53
Speaker 2: like we talked about Team USA with WBC, Oh, they
23:57
Speaker 2: looked listless, they looked lifeless, Like I have a hard
24:01
Speaker 2: time believing it it's just you saw this team every
24:04
Speaker 2: single day like fighting for their life, fighting for the
24:08
Speaker 2: fact that they're trying to make it to the playoffs.
24:11
Speaker 2: And maybe there was a little bit of a riff
24:12
Speaker 2: because the pitchers weren't going.
24:15
Speaker 3: Deep into the games.
24:16
Speaker 2: So then the bullpen guys are like, oh, great, our starters,
24:19
Speaker 2: we can't stay healthy because our starters aren't making aren't making,
24:24
Speaker 2: you know, getting their innings. And the position players go out
24:26
Speaker 2: and score three runs, and the starters give up four runs,
24:29
Speaker 2: and then the bullpen starts giving up runs, and so
24:31
Speaker 2: then the position players and the pitchers have a riff.
24:33
Speaker 3: There's a riff because you're losing the year before you're winning.
24:36
Speaker 2: You beat the Phillies and you move on in the
24:38
Speaker 2: playoffs and you're like, everything's great. We love pumpkins, OMG,
24:42
Speaker 2: Grimace all that stuff.
24:50
Speaker 1: Injuries do suck, and it looks like it's happening to
24:52
Speaker 1: Grayson Rodriguez again. Eric he's dealing with some arm sore,
24:56
Speaker 1: as Kurt Suzuki calling it dead arm. Still a chance
24:58
Speaker 1: he's ready for the season, which by the way, starts
25:00
Speaker 1: in six days if he feels better in the coming days.
25:03
Speaker 1: But they're monitoring him, but could be an IL candidate.
25:07
Speaker 1: This is a guy that had so much fanfare coming
25:09
Speaker 1: up and he just can't seem to stay healthy. That's
25:12
Speaker 1: a bummer for Rodoricuez and obviously for the Angels.
25:16
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's worse to not know what the injury is,
25:20
Speaker 2: like the dead arm. People go through dead arms. But
25:22
Speaker 2: in this day and age, everybody, every pitch, every throw
25:26
Speaker 2: is always on radar, on track, man on rap, sodo,
25:31
Speaker 2: whatever it is, and so it's like.
25:33
Speaker 3: Is everything okay?
25:34
Speaker 2: He is only throwing ninety two in his bullpen andy
25:37
Speaker 2: last week he was throwing ninety four. Your arm just
25:40
Speaker 2: is never going to feel one hundred percent and so
25:45
Speaker 2: arm soreness or dead arm. A lot of guys would
25:47
Speaker 2: go through that and you're like, what is like my
25:50
Speaker 2: arm just hurts for some reason. It's like we'll point
25:53
Speaker 2: to it. It's like, well from my shoulder down to
25:56
Speaker 2: like my wrist, like because you're throwing more and more consistency,
26:01
Speaker 2: with more intent. So hopefully it's not something that he's
26:05
Speaker 2: trying to compensate with because something else is hurting. But
26:11
Speaker 2: take it easy if you only make twenty six starts
26:14
Speaker 2: and Grayson Rodriguez season is a successful season, Like, we're
26:18
Speaker 2: not looking for Grayson Roriguez to throw thirty two starts
26:22
Speaker 2: two hundred innings, which when you look at him physically,
26:24
Speaker 2: you go, yes, that's what he could do. But if
26:27
Speaker 2: it means missing a start two or three, like, get
26:31
Speaker 2: it to the point where he's one hundred percent when
26:33
Speaker 2: he's out there.
26:35
Speaker 1: For somebody eric that has not been blessed with height,
26:38
Speaker 1: this next story kind of made me pause for a second.
26:42
Speaker 1: So look at this. Joe Pompleano tweeted, We're going to
26:45
Speaker 1: see a lot of height changes this year because with
26:47
Speaker 1: the rollout of ABS automated balls and strikes, MLB is
26:50
Speaker 1: now measuring each player's height down to the millimeter. Gavin
26:54
Speaker 1: Stone of Gavin Stone, Gavin Luck's just absolutely shrunk. What
27:00
Speaker 1: are we doing? Look at this the process, super strict guys,
27:02
Speaker 1: no shoes, no hats, knees exposed back against the walls
27:07
Speaker 1: like you're a prisoner. And to account for potential shrinkage,
27:10
Speaker 1: I was in the pool throughout the day. MLB is
27:13
Speaker 1: even requiring all its teams to take measurements between ten
27:16
Speaker 1: am and twelve pm local time on their appointed day.
27:19
Speaker 1: What are we doing?
27:20
Speaker 2: Cratzy all right, we're not talking about shrinkage on the show. Okay,
27:24
Speaker 2: So what we are going to talk about, though, is
27:28
Speaker 2: the fact that women lie and men lie, and the
27:32
Speaker 2: thing that they lie about is their height, and it's pointless.
27:36
Speaker 2: For my entire career, I thought I was six foot
27:39
Speaker 2: four and then I went on to this electronic it's
27:45
Speaker 2: not a scale. It's a scale, but it's also it
27:47
Speaker 2: measures your height. It is not like there's no cheating.
27:51
Speaker 2: They had you set out all the parameters there, and
27:54
Speaker 2: because of the lump on top of my head, I
27:57
Speaker 2: was I was listed at six foot five inches and
28:01
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, this sucks. That means my strike zone
28:04
Speaker 2: is gonna be bigger. Obviously I didn't stick around for
28:07
Speaker 2: abs all the stuff in the minor leagues that ended
28:10
Speaker 2: up happening. But yeah, you can't lie about your height, Like,
28:14
Speaker 2: don't lie about your height. Nobody, nobody wants to, you know,
28:18
Speaker 2: show up and be like, hey, I'm six foot two.
28:21
Speaker 2: My name is Gavin Lux and you show up and
28:23
Speaker 2: you're like, what you're not? I don't think it's on purpose.
28:29
Speaker 2: Like look like we take this as we take this
28:31
Speaker 2: as gospel that when we pull up on baseball reference
28:35
Speaker 2: that Gavin Lux is six foot two, Like.
28:39
Speaker 3: What does it matter? Like who put it in? Was
28:41
Speaker 3: it an intern that put it in?
28:43
Speaker 2: Is there, like is there an FBI agent that's making
28:45
Speaker 2: sure that that's exactly what his height is. I mean
28:48
Speaker 2: there's a guy. There was a guy in the Red
28:51
Speaker 2: Sox organization. I think his name is Gonzalez. I was
28:53
Speaker 2: just talking to their player development guy. He grew like
28:57
Speaker 2: three or four inches and put them fifty pounds within
29:00
Speaker 2: the last year and a half. Like there's a little
29:03
Speaker 2: bit of a change. I think Christopher Sanchez, his height
29:06
Speaker 2: had been listed at like six foot or six one.
29:08
Speaker 3: I think now he's six'.
29:09
Speaker 1: Six so it's a heck.
29:11
Speaker 3: Spain that's.
29:14
Speaker 2: THAT i mean from the time you get drafted at
29:16
Speaker 2: seven sixty or signed at sixteen years, Old, yeah things.
29:20
Speaker 2: Change but also it's like like you put down the
29:24
Speaker 2: wrong birth, Birthplace like you're not going to go into
29:26
Speaker 2: your own baseball reference and change. It it's not like
29:28
Speaker 2: high school basketball where you go how tall are? You
29:32
Speaker 2: six foot six foot? One the whole team everyone's over
29:35
Speaker 2: six foot and you get there and you're.
29:37
Speaker 1: Like that IS i wonder if any of these people
29:41
Speaker 1: that happen to be on dating apps if the people
29:44
Speaker 1: that are looking at the app dating apps are smart
29:46
Speaker 1: enough to cross reference what it actually what their height actually.
29:50
Speaker 1: Is when it comes to the, abs they're, like wait a,
29:52
Speaker 1: minute you, said on Whatever bumbleton or whatever the hell they,
29:56
Speaker 1: are you're six to, two but on this it says
29:58
Speaker 1: you're five to. Seven wait lie about their. Height i'm
30:05
Speaker 1: assuming you're saying women lie about what age and.
30:08
Speaker 2: Weight not Even i'm not going to touch women weight at,
30:12
Speaker 2: all but women wear makeup to cover up what they
30:16
Speaker 2: actually look.
30:17
Speaker 1: Like that's, listen, Listen, Linda, Listen. Linda we had this
30:21
Speaker 1: conversation the other day about why that has to be.
30:23
Speaker 1: Done don't even get me started on the on the
30:25
Speaker 1: on the people that are so mean about women that
30:28
Speaker 1: age and guys just get. Distinguished Kevin garnett had to
30:31
Speaker 1: be listed at six to eleven because seven footers Were
30:34
Speaker 1: OH i, Know, now everybody in THE nba is like
30:39
Speaker 1: seven to, one seven To it's. Bananas it is. Bananas
30:41
Speaker 1: and everybody In Major League baseball throws a bazillion miles an.
30:45
Speaker 1: Hour all, Right so Apparently Aaron boone said that he
30:52
Speaker 1: is the least analytical manager in THE Al. EAST i
30:56
Speaker 1: had to laugh at, This, eric BECAUSE i feel like
31:00
Speaker 1: analytics has taken over The yankee, way and you would
31:05
Speaker 1: know better THAN, i having spent time there in, pinstripes
31:09
Speaker 1: and perhaps the team as an organization, is But Aaron
31:12
Speaker 1: boone is saying that he. Isn't The yankees saw the
31:14
Speaker 1: lowest percentage of pitches from right handed hitters versus left
31:17
Speaker 1: handed pitchers among ALL mlb. Teams it wasn't just a
31:20
Speaker 1: one year. Blip over the past three, Seasons, eric The
31:22
Speaker 1: yankees had the worst right handed platoon. Advantage it is
31:26
Speaker 1: a stat that Makes boone believe he is the least
31:29
Speaker 1: analytical manager in The Al. East what say, You, WELL.
31:34
Speaker 2: I Say Aaron boone should come on and we'll talk about.
31:36
Speaker 2: This but obviously that's not his choice all the. Time
31:39
Speaker 2: but ANYWAY i, WOULD i would lean to the side
31:43
Speaker 2: of agreeing with. HIM i would lean to the side
31:45
Speaker 2: of agreeing with him BECAUSE i really think he's going
31:49
Speaker 2: out there to put the best players out. THERE i
31:52
Speaker 2: think some of this platoon advantage stuff kind of his
31:56
Speaker 2: roster construction, Too like you're not sitting there and, going, oh,
31:59
Speaker 2: well you, know we have this this player for this.
32:02
Speaker 2: Situation it's like some other teams. Do AND i would
32:05
Speaker 2: say of The American League, EAST i would. AGREE i would,
32:11
Speaker 2: AGREE i mean The rays and clearly the analytic quote unquote.
32:16
Speaker 2: Darlings but to, me whoever takes advantage of the, platoons,
32:22
Speaker 2: like is that really where the success?
32:25
Speaker 3: Is?
32:25
Speaker 2: Like what happens if you have a guy like LIKE
32:28
Speaker 2: i hit better against right handed PICTURES i faced right handed.
32:33
Speaker 2: PITCHERS i am a right handed hitting, Better so why
32:37
Speaker 2: would you put me in when it's a left handed
32:40
Speaker 2: hitting when a left handed throwing. Pitcher WHEN i don't
32:42
Speaker 2: fade WHEN i don't hit, well only it's. Lefties SO
32:44
Speaker 2: i think just the like general, ooh you need a
32:47
Speaker 2: better platoon advantage doesn't always. Play AND i think that's
32:49
Speaker 2: where The yankees find value in players because they sit
32:53
Speaker 2: there and they, Go, okay this player might not necessarily
32:59
Speaker 2: do as well against right or, right left on, left
33:03
Speaker 2: but there's an advantage throughout the entire season for him
33:07
Speaker 2: to be on the. Team AND i think that's they
33:09
Speaker 2: had the best offense in baseball last year, Statistically so
33:13
Speaker 2: what he's doing is. Correct BUT i think a lot
33:15
Speaker 2: of the decisions pregame are very, analytical just like they
33:20
Speaker 2: are with any team that wants to.
33:22
Speaker 3: Win The phillies are very.
33:23
Speaker 2: Analytical The rays want to win and they have a
33:26
Speaker 2: lot of analytic. Decisions The dodgers have a lot of analytic.
33:30
Speaker 2: Decisions you, know everybody. Does but in the, MOMENT i
33:34
Speaker 2: think the best managers don't necessarily just lean on.
33:38
Speaker 3: Analytics look At Dave.
33:39
Speaker 2: Roberts Dave roberts made decisions to pitch his starting pitchers
33:43
Speaker 2: when they're supposed to be a team that have just
33:45
Speaker 2: a cavalcade of, relievers and they won The World series
33:48
Speaker 2: the year before with, that and The yankees' that's what
33:50
Speaker 2: the best teams. Do they let their manager make decisions
33:53
Speaker 2: in game to win that particular.
33:56
Speaker 1: Game, today we are checking out the most bet to
34:07
Speaker 1: lead THE mlb IN RBIs, tickets specifically most tickets in

34:26
Speaker 2: RBIs i, mean the reason we're seeing these numbers is
34:30
Speaker 2: plus three thousand For Vinnie, pasquentino a tremendous. NUMBER i,
34:36
Speaker 2: mean the opportunity to get plus two thousand From Nick
34:40
Speaker 2: kurtz is. Incredible like to, me there's there's a ton of.
34:44
Speaker 2: Value and people will, say, well what About Aaron, judge
34:47

34:53
Speaker 2: Up but these are the these are the most bet
34:56
Speaker 2: on guys because the value is. There AND i think
34:58
Speaker 2: everybody on this list at for, SHOWHEY i think and
35:02
Speaker 2: Maybe tucker just BECAUSE i think they're going to be
35:05
Speaker 2: losing out together with them both being on the, list
35:08
Speaker 2: there's other guys that drive a lot of runs. IN
35:10
Speaker 2: i Think Nick kurtz And Vinnie pasquinino are the ABSOLUTE
35:15
Speaker 2: rbi dudes on this team THAT i think they. Have
35:19
Speaker 2: there's a ton of value with both of those, guys
35:21
Speaker 2: AND i, think really the values In Nick kurtz AND
35:24
Speaker 2: i might actually put that in here right, now because
35:26
Speaker 2: they're playing half their games In sacramento and that place
35:30
Speaker 2: the ball. Jumps you see ten to ten to thirteen
35:33

35:39
Speaker 1: numbers have? Anything because he's coming right off of THE
35:43
Speaker 1: wbc at plus three thousand OR i think that's just
35:45
Speaker 1: all from what he's done so.
35:46
Speaker 2: FAR i think if you look at what he's, DONE
35:49
Speaker 2: i think if you look at what he's done in his,

35:53
Speaker 2: HUNDRED rbi guy and he's. Been he's started out, slow you.

36:03
Speaker 2: back to back, season so there's value.
36:06
