Tonight, we turn our attention to the global stage. The 2026 World Baseball Classic is right around the corner, and the Blue Jays roster is well-represented. From Vladdy Guerrero Jr. finally suiting up for the Dominican Republic to our newest star Kazuma Okamoto defending the title with Team Japan, the Jays are going to be playing high-intensity baseball before Opening Day even hits.
We discuss:
- Vladdyβs Return: Why playing for the DR could unlock an MVP start to the season.
- The Okamoto Factor: Getting our first look at the new third baseman on the world stage.
* The "WBC Bump": Will playing in playoff-atmosphere games in March lead to a "Red Hot" start in April?
Join Liz and Jason in the Bar Room as they break down the rosters and make their tournament predictions!

[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's some sort of...

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what that is.

[SPEAKER_01]: They're giving away to the locomotive t-shirt.

[SPEAKER_01]: We don't know if that's going to be up.
03:33.871 --> 03:36.795
[SPEAKER_01]: But I like a good hat or t-shirt on the nights where nobody shows up.
03:36.815 --> 03:38.137
[SPEAKER_01]: And you can just kind of swing in and get it.
03:38.979 --> 03:42.564
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a cool, uh, it looks like a cool university for on the university call.

03:51.257 --> 03:51.657
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no.
03:51.677 --> 03:53.179
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I mean, the good times are there.
03:53.219 --> 03:59.407
[SPEAKER_02]: Like every time I go to Arizona, I usually ditched my family and go hang out at ASU at least for a one night.
03:59.447 --> 04:00.228
[SPEAKER_02]: There we go.
04:00.248 --> 04:03.632
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you've got to live like you're 22 again for a little bit.
04:03.832 --> 04:04.213
[SPEAKER_01]: My time.
04:04.233 --> 04:05.154
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't seem to care.
04:05.515 --> 04:08.618
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I think we're going to see some cool stuff coming out for the 50th.
04:08.819 --> 04:11.342
[SPEAKER_01]: That's, I hope we see more stuff coming out, retro stuff.
04:11.722 --> 04:16.348
[SPEAKER_01]: There was a rumor they're dropping the red sleeveless jersey for Canada days from home.
04:16.396 --> 04:20.101
[SPEAKER_02]: we saw that and I looked awesome and somebody put that into our discord.
04:20.121 --> 04:31.515
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're not, if you're not following us or not, part of our discord, you should get on that because there's some really cool people in there that really know a lot of what's going on in the world of baseball and blue jays and all that stuff.
04:31.816 --> 04:41.167
[SPEAKER_02]: Deeper, deeper than we know, or than I know, and you know, speaking of one right there, there's Colin right there, the inmates are running the asylum this weekend.
04:41.227 --> 04:43.230
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to be more correct.
04:43.210 --> 04:45.252
[SPEAKER_02]: So, keep your eye out for that.
04:45.332 --> 04:51.539
[SPEAKER_02]: Also, if you guys see any of the 50th anniversary stuff out there, anything we'd love to see it drop it into our socials.
04:52.179 --> 04:53.401
[SPEAKER_02]: We want to be able to put it up there.
04:53.461 --> 04:55.563
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure there's going to be some really cool stuff.
04:56.284 --> 05:09.117
[SPEAKER_02]: And of course, if anyone, because I'm not in Toronto, if anyone goes and they get the stuff and they want to just give it to me, yeah, I will gladly accept or I will trade for one of our brand new jaybird watching t-shirts.
05:09.097 --> 05:15.651
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're going to start giving away over the next couple of weeks, which we're all excited about.
05:15.792 --> 05:17.235
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that's pretty rad.
05:18.297 --> 05:23.629
[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, just to speak more about our t-shirts in the celebratory nature of all that is baseball give away t-shirts.
05:24.010 --> 05:26.515
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you only make them an XXX XXXL?
05:26.495 --> 05:33.088
[SPEAKER_02]: I actually got them from that store that when you go to it, like it goes, sure, it's go to your knees.
05:33.509 --> 05:36.375
[SPEAKER_02]: They need shirt, but they go to your knees.
05:37.277 --> 05:42.968
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a baseball jersey, like extra extension for booty coverage.
05:42.948 --> 05:44.070
[SPEAKER_02]: it's the right way to do it.
05:44.271 --> 05:50.043
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we'll have a variety of, we're working on getting some more obviously with our sponsor Jay Birdie.
05:50.064 --> 05:52.068
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to be able to drop that cool thing.
05:52.128 --> 05:56.097
[SPEAKER_02]: I was going to get a piece of paper and hold it up like real buggy, but it's right up here.
05:56.237 --> 05:57.660
[SPEAKER_02]: Jay Birdie is all good.
05:58.061 --> 05:58.682
[SPEAKER_02]: Go to the site.
05:59.023 --> 06:00.526
[SPEAKER_02]: We're working on some collabs with them.
06:00.546 --> 06:01.328
[SPEAKER_02]: We got a, uh,
06:01.308 --> 06:03.031
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I don't want to let the cat out of the bag.
06:03.051 --> 06:05.696
[SPEAKER_02]: We just have some cool stuff coming from them as well.
06:05.716 --> 06:08.401
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll get the shirts and some other cool fun options.
06:09.183 --> 06:11.948
[SPEAKER_02]: Craig and I are talking about some cool shirts from the website.
06:12.268 --> 06:16.536
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, if you're, if you're down, then, then keep watching.
06:16.817 --> 06:18.119
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and be down and keep it.
06:18.139 --> 06:18.480
[SPEAKER_02]: Stay down.
06:18.520 --> 06:19.241
[SPEAKER_02]: Stay down.
06:19.261 --> 06:21.325
[SPEAKER_02]: Four flat tires.
06:21.305 --> 06:33.313
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think Liz and I are only going to do about 30 minutes tonight, not that we don't have a ton of stuff to talk about, but I think probably the main thing on everyone's mind right now is the world baseball classic.
06:33.674 --> 06:39.027
[SPEAKER_02]: Now Liz, we all know that the US came basically one hit away
06:39.007 --> 06:40.389
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, what are you doing?
06:40.970 --> 06:43.213
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, what are you doing?
06:43.233 --> 06:43.573
[SPEAKER_01]: Cinema.
06:43.954 --> 06:44.154
[SPEAKER_01]: Cinema.
06:44.174 --> 06:44.334
[SPEAKER_01]: Cinema.
06:44.755 --> 06:45.476
[SPEAKER_02]: Unbelievable.
06:45.696 --> 06:49.822
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're sort of running up on potentially the exactly the same thing.
06:49.842 --> 06:51.484
[SPEAKER_01]: Now go look for those who were not there.
06:51.504 --> 06:54.368
[SPEAKER_01]: And the last event was Mike Trout with Joyo Tiny Pitching.
06:54.729 --> 06:55.089
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
06:55.109 --> 06:57.032
[SPEAKER_01]: Team USA versus Team Japan.
06:58.160 --> 07:01.844
[SPEAKER_02]: It was amazing and Showhade didn't back down at all.
07:02.104 --> 07:03.446
[SPEAKER_01]: And they were playing on the same team.
07:03.546 --> 07:04.527
[SPEAKER_01]: I think just previously.
07:04.867 --> 07:08.251
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, he had just, I think, you know, you hadn't been traded yet.
07:08.311 --> 07:11.935
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think I think he was still, I think he was still an angel at that.
07:11.955 --> 07:15.498
[SPEAKER_02]: But Colin will correct me if I'm, I'm incorrect with that stat.
07:15.779 --> 07:25.669
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think he was a Dodger yet, but yeah, I mean, there's so many things to talk about from the last World Baseball Classic, other than the fact that it was absolutely
07:25.649 --> 07:28.712
[SPEAKER_02]: So so charged with baseball fun.
07:28.752 --> 07:30.934
[SPEAKER_02]: There were there were fights.
07:31.474 --> 07:34.157
[SPEAKER_02]: There was incredible homers.
07:34.177 --> 07:36.539
[SPEAKER_02]: There was, you know, like, homers that were robbed.
07:36.579 --> 07:37.840
[SPEAKER_02]: There was always magic.
07:38.220 --> 07:38.941
[SPEAKER_02]: It had everything.
07:39.121 --> 07:50.251
[SPEAKER_02]: And the thing for me is that we finally got to see not only some of these guys, these players, not only where they're from, but also talk about the weird ones, like Lars Nupar being from Japan.
07:50.631 --> 07:55.656
[SPEAKER_01]: Or, I mean, it's grandfather having a grandparent from,
07:55.636 --> 07:59.908
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, that like, you'll see.
08:01.154 --> 08:03.657
[SPEAKER_01]: You'll see like, you know, some really good baseball players.
08:03.777 --> 08:07.342
[SPEAKER_01]: And then a plumber who can just throw real fast all the same thing.
08:08.403 --> 08:16.233
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's, you know, when the teams gets, like, you know, like, I was kind of going through some of the teams and some of the, some of the long, the long odds ones.
08:16.313 --> 08:19.497
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think what you'll see from like Australia is just what you said.
08:19.637 --> 08:25.124
[SPEAKER_02]: Like you've got guys who probably are playing, you know, some guys that are playing some minor league ball.
08:25.165 --> 08:27.407
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they've got one major league or on the team.
08:27.808 --> 08:29.490
[SPEAKER_02]: And the rest of the guys, I mean,
08:29.470 --> 08:34.137
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they'll probably be a cricket player in there and be an English handler or I don't know.
08:34.457 --> 08:55.189
[SPEAKER_02]: So if we quickly just, you know, if we just take some, let's just take a quick second, um, I think so if we start from the bottom sort of working upwards, um, I think, you know, the Czech Republic Brazil, Chinese Taipei and Nicaragua and Great Britain who will feature, jazz chism, if you can believe it.
08:55.209 --> 08:57.452
[SPEAKER_01]: And you will, who will they not feature?
08:57.432 --> 08:59.848
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, we're all this shot, man.
09:00.082 --> 09:00.663
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, really?
09:01.083 --> 09:05.006
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he wasn't British enough, and he got his shoe.
09:05.347 --> 09:07.589
[SPEAKER_01]: They couldn't prove his lineage, so he got booted.
09:07.609 --> 09:09.830
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's, yeah, and there's a bunch of that, too.
09:09.951 --> 09:10.691
[SPEAKER_02]: It was interesting.
09:10.771 --> 09:13.734
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't done a ton of reading on the entire thing.
09:13.774 --> 09:30.088
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think one of the things we should also talk about is, you know, the, I find like with the world cup coming and what the other thing that this creates is, there's obviously there's a temperature change
09:30.068 --> 09:37.060
[SPEAKER_02]: Puerto Rico may not be in the world baseball classic, which would be a detriment to the entire tournament.
09:38.302 --> 09:42.308
[SPEAKER_02]: The discussion is around insurance, and it's also around a few other things.
09:43.510 --> 09:54.068
[SPEAKER_02]: But do you think that there's genuinely some concern that if you do land on US soil and you're playing in a tournament like this, you could potentially, you know,
09:54.588 --> 10:03.151
[SPEAKER_01]: be caught up and actually jailed based on here's my thing Jason, if we're talking about that could be possibility that's spooky enough for me.
10:04.474 --> 10:06.319
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you know, I mean it like
10:07.109 --> 10:14.862
[SPEAKER_02]: It's bizarre to me and I know that like, I know FIFA has already, you know, put their foot down about a few different things.
10:15.003 --> 10:22.996
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that the world baseball classic has, you know, put those those things into place to make sure that there aren't any, you know, situations like that.
10:23.076 --> 10:27.203
[SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, very, very scary when it comes right down to it.
10:27.264 --> 10:28.105
[SPEAKER_02]: So
10:28.085 --> 10:38.560
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, like with all due respect to the checks, the Brazil, the Brazilian Chinese Taipei, who I happen to know, one of the strengthened conditioning coaches for Donglin, who hopefully we can get them on the show when it's on.
10:39.000 --> 10:39.902
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just so busy.
10:39.922 --> 10:40.703
[SPEAKER_02]: It's hard to get him.
10:40.723 --> 10:41.925
[SPEAKER_02]: Nicaragua and Graeprin.
10:42.225 --> 10:48.153
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you know, with all due respect, they're going to, they're going to, you know, they'll be punching bags for the first couple rounds.
10:48.274 --> 10:51.358
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, apparently the Boshep Brothers are playing for Team Brazil.
10:51.338 --> 10:52.840
[SPEAKER_02]: The team Brazil, Bolpashets.
10:52.860 --> 10:57.446
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, which does, I mean, that will add a little bit of credit to them, but I don't think it's enough to sort of even get them.
10:57.546 --> 10:59.488
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, you're not going to need the Americans.
11:00.069 --> 11:00.930
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I don't think so.
11:01.090 --> 11:19.573
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you're sort of next group behind that is as the Australians, Panama, Columbia, the Netherlands and Israel.
11:19.553 --> 11:49.206
[SPEAKER_02]: that was cool or memorable or something, I think it's super interesting that like the team from Israel, that team has produced the literally world series as a team has seen a team from Israel now twice back to back, which is super cool, so that means baseball is growing in parts of the world that are far away from us and disconnected from us, so we don't even see what's happening, but when you get guys at the major league level who are playing and they start to shine a
11:49.186 --> 11:59.581
[SPEAKER_02]: of a better light on it, and I mean, it's like you said, like, you know, jazz or whoever said it, Colin said it, jazz chasms from the Bahamas, but I mean, he's going to play for Great Britain.
11:59.601 --> 12:10.296
[SPEAKER_02]: So as long as you've got some lineage that allows you to, you know, to play for one of those, there's actually a couple of kids from North Vancouver here that are going to be playing for Great Britain this year, as well, which is pretty cool.
12:10.556 --> 12:11.177
[SPEAKER_02]: That's like,
12:11.157 --> 12:20.075
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, you've got like the Netherlands, like would you have ever thought Aussie albums, Exander Bogarts, and Raphael, we're going to be like, would be no, I love it.
12:20.135 --> 12:21.157
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so fun.
12:21.177 --> 12:28.592
[SPEAKER_02]: There's like no, if you this, it's like an off-brand coach, like throw the sticks in the middle pick.
12:28.572 --> 12:36.512
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I mean, it's too bad I'm afraid he was going to play with Team Canada and he backed out Unless he's on their team list.
12:36.873 --> 12:37.554
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, he's off.
12:37.735 --> 12:38.336
[SPEAKER_01]: Freddy's off.
12:38.737 --> 12:39.599
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Freddy backed off.
12:39.980 --> 12:41.063
[SPEAKER_01]: Some's going on with Freddy either.
12:41.083 --> 12:42.587
[SPEAKER_01]: He's in like health or something.
12:42.607 --> 12:44.893
[SPEAKER_01]: But Freddy was like he stepped off to him.
12:45.033 --> 12:45.113
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah
12:45.835 --> 12:55.619
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, the last I looked, and like I said, I was trying, this is a, the world-based ball classic is like trying to find, uh, there's a Barutor films like I mean, I think it's true.
12:55.999 --> 13:02.134
[SPEAKER_02]: And every single website seems to list, that's why I was adding at the end of the list on the Blue Jacer.
13:02.154 --> 13:02.916
[UNKNOWN]: No, no.
13:02.896 --> 13:10.447
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I mean, I think to let's talk about who, you know, I consider to be the, I'd like you to pick a sleeper and I'll pick a sleeper.
13:10.847 --> 13:23.605
[SPEAKER_02]: Obviously, you know, we're, we can talk about about, you know, the DR Japan and I'll read off the United States roster just just for shits and gigs just so, so,
13:24.648 --> 13:50.065
[SPEAKER_02]: Braggman, Buxton, Corbin Carroll, Ernie Clement, PCA, Gunner Henderson, Clay Holmes, Griffin Jacks, Aaron Judge, Clayton Kershaw, Brad Keller, Kyle Rally, Kyle Schworber, Paul Skeens, Scooble, Will Smith, Logan Web, and Bobby Witt Jr. Like, it's like when Mr. Burns reads off the Springfield, I should have seen it's like that.
13:52.154 --> 13:53.255
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, so good.
13:53.615 --> 13:56.859
[SPEAKER_01]: Matt, I think, okay, okay, this I'm, I always push for Mexico.
13:57.019 --> 13:58.300
[SPEAKER_01]: I always push for Mexico.
13:59.141 --> 14:01.603
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, and we got two j's on them on team Mexico.
14:01.623 --> 14:07.389
[SPEAKER_02]: So if you want to, if you want to, if you want to quickly pivot, we can talk about the j's that are going on the following pivot.
14:07.409 --> 14:08.350
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you got to pick it.
14:08.370 --> 14:09.812
[SPEAKER_01]: Has the cutest outfit.
14:09.832 --> 14:11.713
[SPEAKER_01]: They're either, they're either, they're either hats or sick.
14:12.214 --> 14:13.275
[SPEAKER_01]: They're uniforms or sick.
14:13.575 --> 14:15.798
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I love cheering for Mexico.
14:15.978 --> 14:16.658
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, let's do it.
14:16.678 --> 14:17.299
[SPEAKER_02]: So let's go.
14:17.359 --> 14:21.283
[SPEAKER_02]: So I mean, if it would they be your dark horse then.
14:21.449 --> 14:22.791
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, I think I got it.
14:22.811 --> 14:25.015
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know a main, I just pick, listen, listen.
14:25.656 --> 14:30.002
[SPEAKER_01]: I, a view world-based, my classic very much like a child views any sports.
14:30.423 --> 14:31.465
[SPEAKER_01]: You picked the coolest jersey.
14:31.785 --> 14:32.727
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what you do.
14:32.907 --> 14:33.889
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what you do.
14:33.909 --> 14:34.950
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going for Mexico.
14:34.970 --> 14:36.553
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so let's start there.
14:36.713 --> 14:39.798
[SPEAKER_02]: And I would either go for Canada as my dark horse or Mexico.
14:39.838 --> 14:40.860
[SPEAKER_02]: Those would be my two picks.
14:41.300 --> 14:46.208
[SPEAKER_02]: A Canada is probably getting the deepest pitching and possibly the deepest lineup they've ever had.
14:46.323 --> 14:48.489
[SPEAKER_02]: this year, which will be so much fun to watch.
14:48.509 --> 15:01.345
[SPEAKER_02]: But again, so obviously, where they've got a Alejandro Kirk on T-Mexico, our new addition Cody Ponce has actually been and added to T-Mexico as far as their roster says.
15:01.325 --> 15:06.514
[SPEAKER_02]: Any comment obviously as I just said will be playing for team USA, which I mean it couldn't be cooler for him.
15:07.315 --> 15:27.889
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know if you've seen I feel like a lot of people don't know who any Clement is so the blurb on him on the MLB site is longer than anyone else's and it hits on all these highlighted things and one that I noticed is he has the highest barrel rate in the majors at 97%.
15:27.869 --> 15:32.739
[SPEAKER_02]: So when he hits the ball, he burrows the ball 97% of the time he hits it.
15:32.940 --> 15:39.673
[SPEAKER_02]: Which is very easy to think about a guy who is not a household name, certainly outside of Toronto.
15:39.894 --> 15:47.650
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, people are starting to get to know him because he's handsome, jack and he's always smiling and he's always having a good time.
15:47.630 --> 16:08.294
[SPEAKER_02]: Major League baseball needs to get him and Bobby Witt and a few of these other cool fun young guys together and Gunner Henderson and start doing some stuff Because when you start to watch old baseball stuff like with Maddox and Clavin and and Mark McWire and all that stuff it was fun and I feel like some of that is gone But yeah get on that MLB.
16:08.314 --> 16:15.122
[SPEAKER_02]: There's another marketing another marketing dollar you owe To J. Bird watching here just you know, we're kicking it down the road
16:15.389 --> 16:22.779
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so then we've got obviously we've got Vladdy, Vladdy is unfortunately not playing for Canada.
16:23.340 --> 16:37.340
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope one time he does just for fun, he'll be playing for the DR. We've got for Canada, for Blue Jays, we have Adam Mako, who's a left-handed pitcher, great, great pitcher.
16:37.941 --> 16:43.168
[SPEAKER_02]: He's actually Slovakian, but he spent his whole life in Canada, his family, litigages
16:43.148 --> 16:46.856
[SPEAKER_02]: Canadian as far as I guess far enough back that they didn't put them through.
16:47.478 --> 16:50.444
[SPEAKER_02]: Jose Brio's is on team Puerto Rico.
16:50.484 --> 16:55.496
[SPEAKER_02]: And then there's a prospect that the J's have.
16:56.819 --> 17:00.567
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd like to try Hachavaria.
17:00.547 --> 17:07.701
[SPEAKER_02]: So he turned down and offered by Cuba to go pitch so he could keep in the J system and keep working his way.
17:07.761 --> 17:12.971
[SPEAKER_02]: He pitched in Vancouver a bit this year, he didn't even have it this year.
17:12.991 --> 17:18.842
[SPEAKER_02]: I had a really great season and then
17:18.822 --> 17:27.681
[SPEAKER_02]: There was a lot of almost made, like I know Andre's Emanes was a consideration as was a Santander of Venezuela.
17:28.303 --> 17:31.249
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I forgot Kaz, Kaz made Japan, obviously.
17:32.572 --> 17:35.077
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, he'll be there starting through a base.
17:35.298 --> 17:35.418
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
17:35.438 --> 17:37.202
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Rod and Cuba.
17:37.182 --> 17:47.411
[SPEAKER_02]: Lee OEM and as in Panama, Jimmy Garcia, Jimmy Garcia for the DR, Dylan C C USA, Kevin Gosman USA.
17:48.532 --> 17:50.414
[SPEAKER_01]: Is Jimmy back, he's okay?
17:50.614 --> 17:52.836
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, I don't know about okay.
17:53.216 --> 17:54.337
[SPEAKER_02]: He was in consideration.
17:54.638 --> 18:00.143
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, Rod is pitching for Cuba, but yeah, that runs down your blue jays.
18:01.043 --> 18:07.189
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I mean, I guess it begs the question, do you think that anyone is a miss from that
18:07.169 --> 18:12.398
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I feel like Santander's a bit of a mess, but I'm well, I think so.
18:12.458 --> 18:13.260
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't know.
18:13.280 --> 18:16.866
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess maybe even it is like he's he's really good.
18:17.226 --> 18:20.452
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like defense of position But yeah, I don't know.
18:20.492 --> 18:21.133
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe someone there.
18:21.574 --> 18:22.475
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what's going on with him.
18:22.616 --> 18:23.958
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, we don't know what's going on with him.
18:24.479 --> 18:26.542
[SPEAKER_02]: Kevin Gosman over Clayton Kersha.
18:27.304 --> 18:29.768
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, yeah
18:30.237 --> 18:39.836
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, there's actually other guys other than Kevin Gosman that I was like, you know, I would consider slotting in over allowing Kursha to be the backboy for the for Team USA.
18:39.996 --> 18:40.838
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's Kursha.
18:41.419 --> 18:41.880
[SPEAKER_02]: He's old.
18:41.920 --> 18:45.647
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like 38 or 39.
18:45.627 --> 18:47.209
[SPEAKER_02]: They have to check with the gooks on that.
18:47.249 --> 18:48.931
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm afraid I'm going to go.
18:49.011 --> 18:51.334
[SPEAKER_01]: I remember hated watching and hated to watch him pitch.
18:51.634 --> 18:52.675
[SPEAKER_01]: He was weird position.
18:52.756 --> 18:53.196
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
18:53.356 --> 18:56.880
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, he needs his methodical and slow and a lot of people don't love that.
18:56.941 --> 19:00.064
[SPEAKER_02]: But I mean, he's he can certainly throw a curveball.
19:00.204 --> 19:06.592
[SPEAKER_02]: And yes, he can even tell you, like, remember when he struck Latio at an all star game, he was speaking loud enough that Latio could hear him.
19:06.812 --> 19:08.294
[SPEAKER_02]: He's like, I'm going to see what will Smith call.
19:08.314 --> 19:09.415
[SPEAKER_02]: So I want to go back to the curveball.
19:09.636 --> 19:11.618
[SPEAKER_02]: Throwes it right by him and it's like, yeah.
19:11.598 --> 19:16.149
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's tumbling in at 86, you know, it's, it's, yeah, 37 be 38 March.
19:16.210 --> 19:17.673
[SPEAKER_02]: So old is hell.
19:18.375 --> 19:19.799
[SPEAKER_02]: That's you give up at that point.
19:19.819 --> 19:20.741
[SPEAKER_01]: There you just got it.
19:20.761 --> 19:21.804
[SPEAKER_01]: You got to give up at that point.
19:21.864 --> 19:22.766
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's your George Springer.
19:23.087 --> 19:25.894
[SPEAKER_02]: Then you just start to accelerate.
19:27.005 --> 19:30.331
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what you think is going to be going on with yours this year.
19:31.292 --> 19:35.620
[SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I feel like George has one more good one in the tank.
19:36.161 --> 19:44.275
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I don't think you could be in as good a shape or look as good as he did last year and have a significant drop off.
19:44.295 --> 19:51.527
[SPEAKER_02]: If he can stay healthy, he might be one of those like super dark horses for the J is this year.
19:51.507 --> 20:08.267
[SPEAKER_02]: Just, you know, we've run down the sort of the lineup a number of different times and I feel like, you know, I feel like we, we just sort of, he fits in in a, in a, in a number of different places, but we really need him to DH and we really need him on the bench.
20:08.247 --> 20:12.852
[SPEAKER_02]: We need him there, you know, and I know that there's- You like that he likes the beach?
20:12.872 --> 20:13.333
[SPEAKER_02]: I know he does.
20:13.513 --> 20:18.739
[SPEAKER_02]: I who wouldn't, you know, could you talk about a better gig other than maybe being bullpen catcher?
20:19.320 --> 20:19.820
[SPEAKER_02]: Seriously.
20:20.941 --> 20:27.249
[SPEAKER_02]: But now I've heard that the jays are considering tabling and offer to Chris Bassett as a reliever.
20:27.609 --> 20:28.049
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, really?
20:28.350 --> 20:29.872
[SPEAKER_02]: Again, I think is a great idea.
20:29.892 --> 20:32.955
[SPEAKER_02]: Any news or a guy Max Schusser?
20:32.935 --> 20:35.101
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you just kind of hide in the bushes.
20:35.121 --> 20:44.388
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know where he lives in the offseason, but if you see him, if anybody sees him, just crews in the streets of Connecticut or wherever the hell he lives.
20:45.050 --> 20:45.972
[SPEAKER_02]: See if he can find out.
20:46.333 --> 20:48.379
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know again.
20:48.359 --> 20:53.026
[SPEAKER_02]: I wouldn't be surprised if the jays were to add him as some sort of a pitching coach.
20:53.887 --> 20:54.769
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think he's done.
20:55.329 --> 21:04.824
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think he's got, I mean, he's probably got enough gas in the tank to go, maybe one more year, but I mean, I think you're really putting stress on an arm that doesn't necessarily need it.
21:05.405 --> 21:12.375
[SPEAKER_02]: And if he wants to tear his shoulder out of the socket and keep going, I mean, I haven't seen him pushing, you know, like,
21:12.558 --> 21:33.081
[SPEAKER_02]: Nothing that I've seen out there has been like Max, Max is a agent is pushing to try and get him to anywhere, so I feel like, you know, I feel like it's one of those things where, you know, you just, you get what you get and that's what we're going to see from from him and and maybe it's nothing, maybe it's something, but yeah.
21:33.061 --> 21:50.600
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's an interesting one with Max, I mean, it has been kind of interesting that we haven't heard a word, you know, other than a little bit of grumbling sort of just after the season ended, but I still feel like there's room for him to be on the bench.
21:51.080 --> 21:53.863
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I feel like you'd be a great coach.
21:53.883 --> 21:57.127
[SPEAKER_01]: Hey, wait, I mean, also it's a fishing round of whatever for us.
21:57.367 --> 21:58.408
[SPEAKER_01]: He's still on the team.
21:58.849 --> 22:00.030
[SPEAKER_01]: No one's talking about him.
22:00.010 --> 22:03.335
[SPEAKER_01]: No, he's a legit thing is we have too many guys too many guys.
22:03.716 --> 22:18.880
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I know this is what winning does unfortunately winning unfortunately gives you too many guys and so you either have to be like like like like the Dodgers and put active MLB players on your you know on your your farm team
22:18.860 --> 22:27.310
[SPEAKER_02]: or you run, you know, at a deficit, which a lot of teams actually do, like the fillies, don't have a great internal system.
22:27.350 --> 22:37.683
[SPEAKER_02]: They have a few guys obviously coming up at all times, but they just don't have the bulk that some of the other teams do because they'd rather train that talent away in some cases and pick stuff up.
22:38.484 --> 22:42.589
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's, I feel like, you know, it kind of,
22:42.873 --> 23:02.316
[SPEAKER_02]: It goes in a million different directions and I think we started to see this with the NHL as well, where the American hockey league teams used to sort of carry a couple of veterans just to be veterans and I just don't think that the roster sizes in any sport anymore afford you.
23:02.296 --> 23:04.740
[SPEAKER_02]: to carry those guys as active players.
23:04.940 --> 23:12.171
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's why you see, you know, like Edwin and Karnasyon is the executive to the travel like secretary.
23:12.211 --> 23:16.718
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I mean, they make positions up for these guys to stick around, not that Edwin could still be playing.
23:17.059 --> 23:22.387
[SPEAKER_02]: But a guy like Max could be added on as a, you know, a special... Well, again, it's KK, right?
23:22.407 --> 23:23.629
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, KK, exactly.
23:23.609 --> 23:39.707
[SPEAKER_02]: And I mean, if it came down to it halfway through the season, could Max pitch or play for sure, you could sign them if they, if they, if they added them as a, you'd have to drop somebody on the rest of that stuff or do you sign them and have them play in a really limited capacity.
23:40.428 --> 23:52.401
[SPEAKER_02]: Some more fakeies on the long term are one of those, you know, one of those moves, but yeah, I mean, it's, you know, I think that if they want him around, they'll make room for them.
23:52.668 --> 23:57.575
[SPEAKER_02]: and hopefully they do, I've enjoyed my time with Max.
23:57.635 --> 24:04.385
[SPEAKER_02]: I know why now, where he's played, people have liked them, and that he's a scary intense dude that wants to win this ball games.
24:04.485 --> 24:05.186
[SPEAKER_01]: I went in a pair.
24:05.246 --> 24:12.677
[SPEAKER_01]: I was talking to somebody who had randomly ran into him outside the dome, and they were like, yeah, we talked for a while.
24:12.697 --> 24:16.022
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, if I want to stuck around, he would have kept talking to me about baseball.
24:16.363 --> 24:17.224
[SPEAKER_01]: Super nice guy.
24:17.491 --> 24:30.522
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he seems like a bassett strikes me as being similar where if you got him going, he would just keep talking about baseball until you were done and like I got to go to like I mean, or you do to like you you're probably better than me.
24:32.257 --> 24:34.240
[SPEAKER_02]: Mike, be checkin' in, Mikey, how's it goin' buddy?
24:35.541 --> 24:50.321
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, spring training is on the way, we've got some good shows coming up in the next little while focusing on, well, I think we'll probably do Craig and I talked about this a little bit, we'll focus on hitting, we'll focus on pitching, we'll focus on the field in different episodes.
24:51.202 --> 24:58.592
[SPEAKER_02]: We've got some special guests coming up that we will talk about at a later date, one confirmed today, which is a big one.
24:59.213 --> 25:00.154
[SPEAKER_02]: Here you go.
25:00.134 --> 25:07.865
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, BlueJace fans, if you like, if you like dudes with their shirts off, you might want to tune in for that one, as Liz has can can confirm.
25:08.806 --> 25:09.247
[SPEAKER_02]: Brilliant.
25:09.267 --> 25:23.847
[SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, I mean, it's, you know, I think that, that, that, you know, what we're looking at right now is, I mean, I couldn't be more excited for the WBC, I can mean it.
25:23.827 --> 25:32.003
[SPEAKER_01]: And like, I don't get too excited because like this is the thing that's great training when they win I'm like it doesn't count when they lose I'm like the season's over.
25:32.043 --> 25:32.925
[SPEAKER_01]: It's over.
25:32.965 --> 25:33.727
[SPEAKER_01]: It's over.
25:33.787 --> 25:38.055
[SPEAKER_01]: So I got a cool it out on my free training.
25:38.103 --> 25:43.170
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that going to be your new year's resolution to cool it out on spring training results?
25:43.731 --> 25:44.011
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
25:44.272 --> 25:47.216
[SPEAKER_01]: I love we won the Golden Grade Fruit last year, which is a thing.
25:47.236 --> 25:49.179
[SPEAKER_02]: We did, which, you know, you're serious artists.
25:49.219 --> 25:51.362
[SPEAKER_01]: But I need to cool out like this is a thing.
25:51.462 --> 25:52.564
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a long season.
25:52.624 --> 25:54.967
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't get burned out before even begins.
25:55.388 --> 25:55.969
[SPEAKER_01]: I just can't.
25:56.069 --> 25:57.050
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, it's not true.
25:57.391 --> 25:58.392
[SPEAKER_01]: We haven't just been training.
25:58.632 --> 25:59.454
[SPEAKER_01]: It's testing zone.
25:59.734 --> 26:02.758
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember how we felt about George Springer coming out of spring training?
26:03.499 --> 26:04.100
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't real.
26:04.140 --> 26:05.342
[SPEAKER_01]: He was just trying to understand.
26:05.457 --> 26:28.457
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I mean, it's, I think, you know, as we discussed last week, you know, one of the things with making small adjustments to your swing is that's what you're trying to bring training like I mean, that's the time to try this stuff out so that if you do come up against, you know, somebody like you save it, you throws a can unbelievable splitter, have you worked on something to change your stance for that kind of a hit or when you do a picture when you run into them.
26:28.477 --> 26:29.980
[SPEAKER_02]: So, um,
26:29.960 --> 26:32.463
[SPEAKER_02]: you know, I don't ever take to any stock.
26:32.944 --> 26:37.749
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why I think the WVC is cool because we're invested in it and it actually means something.
26:37.890 --> 26:41.874
[SPEAKER_02]: And so like the silly games they play in preseason, they don't mean anything.
26:42.195 --> 26:54.750
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they're great because you get to see some of these studs and you're like, wow, I hope this guy gets there, you know, before too long or we don't have to trade him or whatever, it is a bit heartbreaking to see them and then never see them again in some cases.
26:54.970 --> 26:59.916
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, that's where I first suck every right, every COVID one spring as my
26:59.896 --> 27:07.046
[SPEAKER_01]: Shings free training and that's where I saw a guy named Nathan Nathan Lucas like there you go I was and we got him back again.
27:07.126 --> 27:08.088
[SPEAKER_01]: He came back over and over.
27:08.769 --> 27:12.694
[SPEAKER_01]: Um But that's how that's how he was old.
27:12.754 --> 27:19.023
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought he's never gonna make it up and he did and be good Don't don't don't don't try it on your dreams kids.
27:19.224 --> 27:27.135
[SPEAKER_02]: You can make it happen even if you And I don't think he's as old as his beard makes him look I know he says he's gonna look together uh back to my uh that
27:27.115 --> 27:30.943
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think that's, anyway, but I also prefer the world baseball classic.
27:31.244 --> 27:33.128
[SPEAKER_01]: We're seeing baseball in different cultures.
27:33.489 --> 27:33.950
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
27:34.331 --> 27:36.576
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, we're, the MLB's pretty buttoned up.
27:36.616 --> 27:46.137
[SPEAKER_01]: It's gotten a little better in the last 10 years, but it's still pretty, you know, and then you see the swagger of the, you know, the Latin baseball teams and you're like, yes,
27:46.117 --> 27:46.677
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's go.
27:47.138 --> 27:59.609
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, I also think that the next, like, I mean, I think the discussion hopefully moves to, and I mean, they have some games down there, which is great, the fans go nuts and, you know, as we had, you know, the hitting coach last, on last week.
27:59.849 --> 28:09.377
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, he was saying to us that even they're just, when they have just sessions, they have hundreds of people, thousands of people sometimes showing up to watch these kids play.
28:09.858 --> 28:16.123
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's like, and then we'll go down the road and watch some kids that don't have shoes
28:16.103 --> 28:22.013
[SPEAKER_02]: Like it's the coolest, you know, it's the coolest thing and I love that.
28:22.093 --> 28:28.524
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that they get, you know, we start to see more, you know, we wouldn't know anything about those Japanese players without the World Baseball class.
28:28.985 --> 28:38.702
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, and I think one of the highest, one of the teams that'll focus on this year because we're starting to see more of them come over into the majors, but I think so Korea will get a lot of focus this year.
28:38.682 --> 28:40.865
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Australia will get focused this year.
28:41.406 --> 28:49.276
[SPEAKER_02]: Anything from sort of central Europe will definitely get some focus this year because there is professional baseball moving into all of these areas.
28:49.596 --> 29:04.456
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's starting to become a thing where if you don't want to go to U.S. college, if you want to go somewhere else and try something else, you can go play in Europe and go to college there and play professional baseball or go to Australia and play professional baseball.
29:04.696 --> 29:06.158
[SPEAKER_02]: And you can still chase it.
29:06.138 --> 29:32.550
[SPEAKER_02]: But you're, it's a little bit different chase, you know, it's, it's moving out of that sort of, you know, college, college push to maybe looking at something that's more of a more advantageous for the player, at least to be able to make some money, get an education because that NIL money is never coming to a baseball player unless I don't know, Tony makes it through NC2A baseball, not that he did.
29:33.644 --> 29:36.547
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so, um, I don't know what I think.
29:36.608 --> 29:37.569
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we're doing it.
29:37.589 --> 29:38.670
[SPEAKER_02]: We're doing it.
29:38.690 --> 29:39.131
[SPEAKER_01]: We're doing it.
29:39.431 --> 29:41.453
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we, uh, I think we rang that cat out.
29:41.473 --> 29:41.914
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you think?
29:42.254 --> 29:42.715
[SPEAKER_01]: I think so.
29:42.875 --> 29:46.800
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, there's a question for me about what is our giveaway disclosed that I'm mostly going to.
29:47.280 --> 29:47.661
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't.
29:47.681 --> 29:52.246
[SPEAKER_01]: And, uh, honestly, man, I love, uh, the Clement hockey jerseys pretty sick.
29:52.527 --> 29:53.047
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
29:53.067 --> 29:56.952
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, and I got like, I've gotten the, the, I got the, the bloody one, the city connect one.
29:56.992 --> 29:57.853
[SPEAKER_01]: I give him to my nephew.
29:57.933 --> 29:59.415
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a 17 year old.
29:59.395 --> 30:00.338
[SPEAKER_01]: big handsome guy.
30:00.899 --> 30:04.809
[SPEAKER_01]: And I also enjoy, because nothing fits me.
30:04.910 --> 30:07.276
[SPEAKER_01]: Also none of these give away mostly fit me.
30:07.376 --> 30:08.319
[SPEAKER_01]: They do not fit me.
30:08.900 --> 30:11.487
[SPEAKER_01]: So I like the hats, like there's a nice looking hat there.
30:11.507 --> 30:15.919
[SPEAKER_01]: And I also, in pulp for the, uh, the barger couch.
30:15.899 --> 30:16.840
[SPEAKER_01]: That's so awesome.
30:17.021 --> 30:18.883
[SPEAKER_01]: I love a good t-shirt giveaway t-shirt.
30:18.903 --> 30:21.026
[SPEAKER_02]: We could even I mean we could even make one of those.
30:21.286 --> 30:24.190
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean there's nothing That's certainly not a trade mark.
30:24.210 --> 30:24.831
[SPEAKER_01]: It is not.
30:24.991 --> 30:29.618
[SPEAKER_01]: There's not a trade mark back in 2010 years ago Whatever our team was like in rebuilt.
30:29.638 --> 30:33.643
[SPEAKER_01]: So every like Tuesday night they just gave away a t-shirt and nobody was going.
30:34.064 --> 30:36.687
[SPEAKER_01]: So I had like a Courts grander some t-shirt.
30:36.988 --> 30:44.758
[SPEAKER_01]: I think there was like a young harvest solar day t-shirt like just like random ass player t-shirts That like I mean
30:45.312 --> 30:50.441
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, it wasn't like, oh, and there was supposed to be, you know, suit a t-shirt, but they had cancel at the night before.
30:50.461 --> 30:52.305
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like maybe like the week before.
30:52.405 --> 30:55.270
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, yeah, but I love a good strand of mass t-shirt giveaway.
30:55.290 --> 30:59.458
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know, and I will, I'm always like, I know, wait.
30:59.538 --> 31:00.880

31:13.678 --> 31:15.340

31:15.660 --> 31:18.182
[SPEAKER_01]: Even it's free, Rogers, I'm taking it from you.
31:18.202 --> 31:23.567
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I've got friends that the only things they wear are promo stuff they've been doing for their one.

31:36.038 --> 31:43.307

31:43.327 --> 31:45.710
[SPEAKER_02]: I bet you none of those fun properties are in kids.
31:45.850 --> 31:50.275
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a whole bit of an extra extra extra extra extra extra extra large.
31:50.736 --> 31:51.456
[SPEAKER_01]: Very large.
31:52.017 --> 31:54.240
[SPEAKER_01]: Although, there's a Barbie bucket hat.
31:54.400 --> 31:55.101
[SPEAKER_01]: I got my face.
31:55.161 --> 31:56.723
[SPEAKER_02]: It's pretty good too.
31:56.743 --> 31:56.843
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
31:56.863 --> 32:01.168
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, like I said earlier, and anybody, you know, fans of
32:01.148 --> 32:07.655
[SPEAKER_02]: fans of Jaybird watching if you go to one of these events and you've got a, you know, a bubble head you don't want send it our way.

[SPEAKER_02]: We'll, uh, we'll take it up to you.
32:09.698 --> 32:12.020
[SPEAKER_01]: It sure somebody mailed me a Barbie shirt.
32:12.360 --> 32:14.042
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, it was not in my size.
32:14.363 --> 32:15.784
[SPEAKER_01]: It was six sizes too large.
32:16.445 --> 32:18.988
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, I don't know what I like.
32:19.268 --> 32:20.109
[SPEAKER_01]: I gave it to my nephew.
32:20.169 --> 32:20.650
[SPEAKER_01]: He looked good.
32:21.190 --> 32:22.572
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, it's really children.
32:22.912 --> 32:23.553
[SPEAKER_01]: They're the children.
32:23.573 --> 32:24.033
[SPEAKER_01]: They're the children.
32:24.053 --> 32:24.594

[SPEAKER_02]: you don't often get to reference trick daddy on a Wednesday afternoon.
32:31.835 --> 32:34.018
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that might be a pretty good way to end it.
32:34.319 --> 32:34.659
[SPEAKER_01]: You did it.
32:35.060 --> 32:35.641
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we did it.

[SPEAKER_01]: Thanks for coming on this ride.
32:38.124 --> 32:42.871
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, as Liz and I were saying earlier, it kind of felt like a parent's were out and we were stealing from the liquor cabinet.
32:42.931 --> 32:46.175
[SPEAKER_02]: But I think we had a winner.
32:46.215 --> 32:49.260
