[SPEAKER_05]: We're watching land to high M. Your host, Craig Boren, we're here with the usual gang of suspects to talk all things, Toronto Blue Jays and tonight, specifically the American League East battle that we are all in Florida's coming season.

00:37.496 --> 00:38.959
[SPEAKER_05]: It's going to be slightly wild.

00:38.999 --> 00:42.306
[SPEAKER_05]: So as I'm getting feedback from my other microphone here,

00:43.585 --> 00:46.208
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, anyway, Jason, how you doing, buddy?

00:47.330 --> 01:04.952
[SPEAKER_06]: I really good, uh, as you can see, right, right off the grindstone and right into the podcast and even have chance to, uh, to take my shirt off or do anything fun like that, which, uh, you know, I mean, you might as well just dive right in when you've got, uh, important offseason baseball stuff to discuss, uh, it's sleeting here.

01:04.932 --> 01:08.698
[SPEAKER_06]: which is disgusting, and so just pile it on.

01:08.798 --> 01:11.121
[SPEAKER_06]: And people say everyone wants to move to Vancouver.

01:11.141 --> 01:12.643
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a land of milk and honey out here.

01:12.723 --> 01:17.891
[SPEAKER_06]: Don't, it's not, it's depressing and cold.

01:19.593 --> 01:20.955
[SPEAKER_05]: Sounds like Rochester, New York here.

01:21.036 --> 01:28.046
[SPEAKER_05]: Just, so Liz, I know you're dealing with the same horrible weather that I'm dealing with on the other side of Lake Ontario.

01:28.066 --> 01:28.847
[SPEAKER_05]: How the heck are you?

01:29.063 --> 01:30.705
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm good man, it's cloudy.

01:30.726 --> 01:34.171
[SPEAKER_02]: It's plus one today in, what's else?

01:34.191 --> 01:35.653
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I don't know if that isn't fair.

01:35.733 --> 01:37.436
[SPEAKER_02]: I can't do the math but four million.

01:38.377 --> 01:40.540
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so things are good, man.

01:40.821 --> 01:45.448
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm, you know, I am curious to what the fragrance is going to happen with Boba Shet.

01:46.009 --> 01:49.854
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm generally pleased about what's going on on the off season.

01:51.116 --> 01:52.138
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think that's it, man.

01:52.158 --> 01:58.227
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just like, when we compare last year again this year, I'm breezy, man.

01:59.017 --> 02:00.098
[SPEAKER_05]: There you go.

02:00.118 --> 02:04.144
[SPEAKER_05]: And let's see, and you actually know our guest, why don't you do the introduction?

02:04.164 --> 02:09.972
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, she has runs Babes Babes Media, which is the greatest company name of all time.

02:10.312 --> 02:16.320
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it is from Babe Ruth, but it's also a tribute to the fact that she is a babe and women all over are also babes.

02:17.462 --> 02:20.386
[SPEAKER_02]: Why don't discriminate in terms of babes where all are own babes?

02:21.307 --> 02:23.009
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and she was kind enough to join us here.

02:23.089 --> 02:27.235
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been on her pod and she's going to

02:27.215 --> 02:29.501
[SPEAKER_02]: She is a die-hard yokey's fan.

02:29.781 --> 02:36.157
[SPEAKER_02]: In fact, there's pictures of her as a young child, just jacked out me yokey's gear, a true fan and true believer.

02:38.122 --> 02:39.886
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome to the show.

02:39.966 --> 02:41.089
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much.

02:42.942 --> 02:58.604
[SPEAKER_05]: So what's on your mind, how you know, why don't we just dive in and start with, you know, the wonderful news here that, you know, the Toronto Blue Jays have signed a Japanese monster hitter potentially in Kazuma, Aquamado, I don't know what you all have heard.

02:58.624 --> 02:59.626
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know what you all seen.

02:59.646 --> 03:04.613
[SPEAKER_05]: There's very contrasting majorly baseball analysis on this gentleman and.

03:04.593 --> 03:13.785
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know what I'm sifting through some of this, but I do feel like the Blue Jays might stall something in the midst of this whole thing because he has a lot of upside.

03:14.887 --> 03:20.595
[SPEAKER_05]: Jonah, Jonah, I don't know what you were thinking as far as what you've seen from this gentleman in this sports media so far this evening.

03:21.716 --> 03:30.448
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, adding a power hitter like him to what is already like an incredible lineup.

03:31.154 --> 03:33.998
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, literally you're losing boba shit, right?

03:34.078 --> 03:37.042
[SPEAKER_00]: But like he wasn't even really a piece of the postseason.

03:37.363 --> 03:39.486
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, yeah, not necessarily losing.

03:39.506 --> 03:39.866
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't know.

03:39.946 --> 03:41.148
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't know.

03:41.168 --> 03:43.191
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's on time tier to sometimes their count.

03:43.211 --> 03:44.052
[SPEAKER_02]: I also don't know.

03:45.254 --> 03:45.754
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

03:45.774 --> 03:46.596
[SPEAKER_04]: Chris, that's not really.

03:47.377 --> 03:49.800
[SPEAKER_00]: But like he was even really a piece of the puzzle.

03:49.820 --> 03:54.587
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're talking about a world series team and then adding this power hitter.

03:55.468 --> 04:00.435
[SPEAKER_00]: Like literally the best hitter

04:00.668 --> 04:20.837
[SPEAKER_06]: that's insane I mean it's it's fate but I do agree with you like I mean I think that that

04:20.817 --> 04:36.941
[SPEAKER_06]: Just when not just from reading who was interested Yankees being one of the teams that were interested in and and others it seemed to me like the teams that are a little more cerebral in their choices when they are looking at players outside of the majors where the ones that were really in the hunt.

04:37.462 --> 04:39.385
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, the his numbers are good.

04:39.425 --> 04:49.660
[SPEAKER_06]: It's consistency that I've seen from him and if you can move that consistency over into the majors, I mean you're dead on I mean we've absolutely snipe the guy that.

04:49.640 --> 05:01.137
[SPEAKER_06]: you know a couple of weeks ago people weren't even talking about and now everybody seems to be talking about them, which is usually the ammo for the Dodgers, but you know we'll take one.

05:02.880 --> 05:03.380
[SPEAKER_06]: Go Adlers.

05:03.941 --> 05:05.483
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm spoke a little bit.

05:05.563 --> 05:08.648
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how like it carries over, right?

05:08.868 --> 05:18.803
[SPEAKER_02]: From from the Japanese leagues to the MLB, if that is like a guaranteed great situation, I mean

05:19.525 --> 05:21.007
[SPEAKER_02]: Does that count as what I don't know when?

05:21.547 --> 05:23.129
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, right, like, so I am concerned.

05:23.369 --> 05:25.972
[SPEAKER_02]: I get like smoked about things until they're looking front of my face.

05:26.412 --> 05:29.576
[SPEAKER_02]: And even in the middle of the year, I'll get mad and forget that I like them.

05:29.916 --> 05:40.407
[SPEAKER_02]: But in terms of just like the putting up the numbers, I do, I am like maybe unfoundedly concerned that those numbers don't translate, but even if they translate a little bit, like that's left.

05:41.308 --> 05:49.397
[SPEAKER_05]: So the big thing on the translating thing, at least from my point of view, is the fact that the Toronto Blue Jays are getting a guy that they, he doesn't need to come in and be the guy, right?

05:49.934 --> 05:58.189
[SPEAKER_05]: If you're trying about, you know, inserting something to the point here, trying to replace some aggregate of the offense that you're losing from boba shut.

05:58.962 --> 06:00.785
[SPEAKER_05]: You're not going to get somebody hits 200 hits.

06:01.045 --> 06:03.328
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just kind of how it is.

06:03.408 --> 06:11.380
[SPEAKER_05]: But if you can swap in somebody and it's going to hit 20 home runs somewhere in the 60 70 ballpark our barbed eyes, that might be replaceable.

06:12.061 --> 06:19.992
[SPEAKER_05]: And we didn't have really in every day third baseman as much as we all love or any Clement that probably isn't his best position.

06:19.972 --> 06:21.354
[SPEAKER_05]: he's a short stop by trade.

06:21.394 --> 06:25.020
[SPEAKER_05]: I think he is just insanely talented to be able to play second base.

06:25.181 --> 06:28.766
[SPEAKER_05]: And I think that's where he's going to end up with post this, you know, signing.

06:29.568 --> 06:34.897
[SPEAKER_05]: And I think it just spells out how productive he can be at second base for this team going forward.

06:34.937 --> 06:41.828
[SPEAKER_05]: And now you have an everyday third baseman who in the video I've seen, I think his defense is sorely underplayed.

06:43.210 --> 06:44.292
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I grew the other two.

06:45.065 --> 06:55.679
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I saw him come out of that slide like the literal slide that he came out of like the childhood playground slide, and I like that that's like right That was awesome.

06:55.699 --> 06:56.780
[SPEAKER_05]: It was literally like you said.

06:56.800 --> 06:58.702
[SPEAKER_05]: It's like came right out of the slide and this is like here.

06:58.763 --> 07:05.151
[SPEAKER_05]: I am good luck So I know Chris Ripley is actually of you seeing the painting online that he's been working on from that slide.

07:05.391 --> 07:06.212
[SPEAKER_05]: It's really cool that

07:06.412 --> 07:08.355
[SPEAKER_05]: and he does all the blue jay's artwork and stuff.

07:08.515 --> 07:11.059
[SPEAKER_05]: So, but that's the news in BlueJay's land.

07:11.299 --> 07:12.701
[SPEAKER_05]: And everybody is talking about it.

07:12.721 --> 07:13.983
[SPEAKER_05]: Doesn't matter if it's our friend.

07:14.023 --> 07:15.845
[SPEAKER_05]: So, it's the file territory podcast.

07:15.865 --> 07:18.069
[SPEAKER_05]: This thing, that thing, majorly baseball and network.

07:18.289 --> 07:21.654
[SPEAKER_05]: The blue jay's are all of a sudden, once again, the talk of the town.

07:21.674 --> 07:26.901
[SPEAKER_05]: And the next piece, this whole thing, is it sounds like the blue jay's are still not done, which,

07:26.881 --> 07:29.904
[SPEAKER_05]: It's very seemingly crazy for all as Blue J fans.

07:29.964 --> 07:34.949
[SPEAKER_05]: I have no idea what a pocketbook really is because we don't spend money like this.

07:35.109 --> 07:35.849
[SPEAKER_05]: It never happens.

07:36.230 --> 07:39.853
[SPEAKER_05]: We were getting called out on our TikTok account the other day.

07:39.933 --> 07:46.740
[SPEAKER_05]: I put that video out of you saying, Liz, that you wanted the Blue J's to finally dominate something for a change.

07:46.760 --> 07:46.860
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

07:46.880 --> 07:49.282
[SPEAKER_05]: And the amount of hate from all the Dodgers fans.

07:49.302 --> 07:50.383
[SPEAKER_05]: It came to one of that.

07:50.663 --> 07:52.004
[SPEAKER_05]: You just want to be like us now.

07:53.886 --> 07:55.808
[SPEAKER_02]: Here's my thoughts on this.

07:55.788 --> 07:58.350
[SPEAKER_02]: I remember when the Dodgers were buying all the players.

07:58.811 --> 08:01.073
[SPEAKER_02]: And I thought, we have the money to buy all the players.

08:01.674 --> 08:08.000
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, now, okay, for some context here, for our American friends, Rodgers owns everything I do.

08:08.640 --> 08:13.846
[SPEAKER_02]: They own my cable, they own my phone, and I work for the Ted Rodger School of Management.

08:13.866 --> 08:16.088
[SPEAKER_02]: Rodgers like is everywhere.

08:16.168 --> 08:23.635
[SPEAKER_02]: Outside of the stadium, there's a, not a statue of Joe Carter, not a statue of Jose Bautista,

08:24.020 --> 08:47.260
[SPEAKER_02]: what's anyway and they didn't even they bought it they just like bought it anyway but my point is that I've given so much money man please buy me a world series just buy the world series um and because like I think that the second or not first they were just owner and baseball in terms of like not being owned by a family of being owned by a giant corporation um i would say a monopoly if you will

08:47.240 --> 08:48.321
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know, man.

08:48.361 --> 08:51.485
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I want to, I want them to buy me a world series.

08:52.085 --> 08:54.268
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I don't, like, that being said in my rent.

08:54.989 --> 08:59.153
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I don't know what, when all the different payments come into call, I don't know what that looks like.

08:59.173 --> 09:01.276
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you have to be bad for 10 to 15 years?

09:01.716 --> 09:02.757
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want that either.

09:02.797 --> 09:04.559
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway.

09:04.579 --> 09:05.140
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

09:05.400 --> 09:11.227
[SPEAKER_00]: How very bold of Dodgers fans to come in your comments like that, because like, this is the game they've been playing.

09:11.347 --> 09:14.310
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, every British needs to get on their level, I guess.

09:15.067 --> 09:18.371
[SPEAKER_05]: And to that point, I do feel like that that's just where baseball is heading.

09:18.771 --> 09:21.314
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just that this is the second round of escalation.

09:21.354 --> 09:25.459
[SPEAKER_05]: We all saw this in the 90s where the red socks and your Yankees were doing that same thing.

09:25.759 --> 09:27.761
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just you've picked a couple of different teams.

09:28.442 --> 09:33.708
[SPEAKER_05]: And in general, we've seen all the teams in the American League East doing some level of trying to add this year.

09:33.768 --> 09:36.651
[SPEAKER_05]: And it has been to that point very interesting to watch.

09:37.592 --> 09:40.175
[SPEAKER_05]: And we're going to just continue to see that, I think.

09:40.235 --> 09:44.500
[SPEAKER_05]: I really think that this is just the next wave of where contracts and things are going.

09:44.480 --> 09:53.697
[SPEAKER_05]: especially in whatever the hell happens at this next collective bargaining agreement, which we all know is just a dice roll away at this point to see where what's the yes turns in.

09:53.757 --> 09:55.901
[SPEAKER_05]: And we'll go from there.

09:55.921 --> 09:57.865
[SPEAKER_05]: Jason, you got something in the mind, obviously.

09:57.980 --> 10:07.972
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I mean, I think, you know, I think when we started talking about this way back, I mean, I think the one soda was the first part of this, this weird dominoes to start falling.

10:08.133 --> 10:19.026
[SPEAKER_06]: And then, you know, we're talking about Otoni money and then we're talking about, you know, guys like Kyle Tucker, who is going to get paid and insane amount of money, and

10:19.006 --> 10:24.459
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, where do we draw the line at what a baseball player's value is?

10:24.519 --> 10:32.118
[SPEAKER_06]: Because the game isn't drawing in a ton more money than it was even five years ago.

10:32.138 --> 10:36.829
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, obviously, you know, everything increases based on ticket, all that other crap.

10:36.809 --> 10:42.355
[SPEAKER_06]: And, you know, there is some TV money in it, but not like basketball.

10:42.755 --> 10:46.539
[SPEAKER_06]: So, where do, like, when does the rubber hit the road on this?

10:46.719 --> 10:48.861
[SPEAKER_06]: And we just sort of say, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay.

10:48.881 --> 10:52.785
[SPEAKER_06]: We can no longer afford to spend or extend.

10:53.126 --> 10:54.387
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, what's the next deal?

10:54.447 --> 10:57.831
[SPEAKER_06]: Is the next deal past Kyle Tucker going to be a 30 year deal?

10:58.231 --> 10:58.992
[SPEAKER_06]: You know what I mean?

10:59.312 --> 11:01.955
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, are you signing guys until they're 75?

11:02.495 --> 11:05.078
[SPEAKER_06]: Just to be able to mitigate paying them.

11:05.311 --> 11:14.685
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, hey, 100 million or whatever, but we've been able to very nice life still to say, you know, the body, the body, the body, the body, the body, yeah, it's a day before my birthday.

11:14.705 --> 11:21.474
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's awesome every day, but it's it's to me, it's it's just starting to get to the point.

11:21.514 --> 11:28.905
[SPEAKER_06]: And I agree with you, is like, like, I'm surprised in the past, the J's haven't stepped up and attempted to buy a world series before and all

11:28.885 --> 11:31.010
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they try that don't what you wanted to come here.

11:31.050 --> 11:32.333
[SPEAKER_02]: Never know if you want to get any.

11:32.354 --> 11:34.379
[SPEAKER_05]: And to Doug here's my next friend.

11:34.399 --> 11:35.281
[SPEAKER_05]: You spent an A.J.

11:35.301 --> 11:37.667
[SPEAKER_05]: Burnett, DJ Ryan, like Galbot, T.S.

11:37.707 --> 11:40.173
[SPEAKER_05]: and all those years and the unfortunate, you know, this logo year.

11:40.413 --> 11:40.674
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

11:40.915 --> 11:41.817
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

11:42.057 --> 11:44.283
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, you know, we have had our chances.

11:44.383 --> 11:46.388
[SPEAKER_06]: But I think that that.

11:46.368 --> 11:50.033
[SPEAKER_06]: everyone's sort of, you know, taking a step back at this point.

11:50.054 --> 12:01.070
[SPEAKER_06]: And I think this is why we're not seeing the movement on Besheat and on, you know, other guys right now is the teams are just like, holy shit, like, what are we doing here?

12:01.250 --> 12:05.056
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, we're going to get to a point where Otani's going to own the Dodgers.

12:05.376 --> 12:05.777
[SPEAKER_06]: And

12:05.757 --> 12:16.773
[SPEAKER_06]: You know like like guys will to finish out their contracts and I mean this happened to Wayne Grettsky a little bit when he was done He was owed so much money by the Phoenix coyotes that they just said well, we'll make you the coach for a bit.

12:16.814 --> 12:17.515
[SPEAKER_06]: Is that cool?

12:17.535 --> 12:27.850
[SPEAKER_06]: And he was like, yeah, that's a little dude, but it's not gonna yeah, it's not gonna pay my bills and so then they had to keep paying him and eventually they're now in Utah So yeah, I mean

12:27.830 --> 12:29.373
[SPEAKER_06]: You work it.

12:29.914 --> 12:31.677
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, the market will correct itself.

12:31.737 --> 12:44.078
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just like anything else and we even saw that since all the crazy late 2000s early 2000s spending and everything like that That it let it leveled out for a while only major stars like Bryce Harper became the selection deal, right?

12:44.699 --> 12:52.673
[SPEAKER_05]: So it'll figure it out and to that point I do think Jason to your point That's why exactly Boba shut and Kyle Tucker are not

12:52.872 --> 12:57.978
[SPEAKER_05]: And did you hear that the little jab that Scott Boris said during the pressur yesterday with a locomotive?

12:58.539 --> 13:07.989
[SPEAKER_05]: And it was just, it was just, hey, by the way, oh, the market's frozen because Ross here won't pay any, by, yeah, which, it is what it is.

13:08.009 --> 13:08.210
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

13:10.152 --> 13:10.873
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you guys like something?

13:11.193 --> 13:16.980
[SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes they're already starting to try to push back a little bit.

13:17.000 --> 13:17.881
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I don't know, sorry, guys.

13:17.961 --> 13:19.723
[SPEAKER_00]: If I'm lagging on my end a little bit,

13:20.682 --> 13:22.805
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay, it's okay.

13:23.025 --> 13:27.170
[SPEAKER_06]: It's probably the weather all around you coming together to make your internet poor.

13:27.230 --> 13:30.434
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, for some reason we're in some fine.

13:30.594 --> 13:31.956
[SPEAKER_05]: She lives in a nice place.

13:31.996 --> 13:32.617
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

13:34.138 --> 13:37.703
[SPEAKER_05]: So let's dive into your gang.

13:37.763 --> 13:39.024
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I think some teams are.

13:39.325 --> 13:39.966
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

13:41.888 --> 13:45.593
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the meds are saying, you know, we're not giving out any deals right now over three years.

13:45.673 --> 13:50.098
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the Yankees, I think you're obviously pushing back on these kind of deals.

13:50.365 --> 13:54.312
[SPEAKER_00]: teams are starting to push back on that a little bit.

13:55.113 --> 14:08.577
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, what sort of a bust is that a deal where they spent a lot of money and it just didn't work because I think with these deals, if we just see one now, work out, everybody realized, oh yeah, we gotta be careful.

14:09.215 --> 14:10.978
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, but you gotta stay, that's the problem.

14:10.998 --> 14:22.174
[SPEAKER_06]: The Dodgers have created this weird hemisphere or if you don't, if you aren't either the luckiest team to ever play baseball or you don't spend the money, you don't even have a chance anymore.

14:22.415 --> 14:32.710
[SPEAKER_06]: Like I mean, the level is so high of the all-star teams that they're creating and the jays are guilty of this right now as anyone else is.

14:32.730 --> 14:37.838
[SPEAKER_06]: And so, you know, I'm not gonna sit up on my high horse and say that, well, we shouldn't do this, but,

14:37.818 --> 15:05.968
[SPEAKER_06]: is it not time for a team like the angels or the pirates or the a's to start spending some money and at least make themselves competitive because I mean the the Dodgers and the jazer two injuries away from being fifth in their division it's you know that happens if two big that names go

15:07.028 --> 15:11.094
[SPEAKER_00]: We had that and like they have all these young star right now.

15:11.354 --> 15:22.870
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they got a capitalized on these young stars Kurt's and Wilson and yeah We wait in Lawrence Butler is he an A yes, he's cute.

15:23.170 --> 15:23.711
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, he's cute.

15:23.731 --> 15:24.632
[SPEAKER_02]: He introduced good.

15:24.652 --> 15:25.493
[SPEAKER_02]: He's cute.

15:25.633 --> 15:26.775
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if he's good or not

15:27.498 --> 15:42.958
[SPEAKER_02]: he's getting there and they don't have a name also let's just i'm going to take this off path the a's lost the challenge to to like what is it to copyright loss angelist athletics no boss sorry loss Vegas athletics they are nameless

15:43.546 --> 15:44.908
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I think they'll go aces.

15:45.049 --> 15:47.332
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, I think they'll go something that's really close to it.

15:47.392 --> 15:51.099
[SPEAKER_06]: So they can keep a similar logo and then my color.

15:51.119 --> 15:54.464
[SPEAKER_06]: They can just based on what I've seen from, they guess what they normally do.

15:54.785 --> 15:58.912
[SPEAKER_06]: As I think, they'll make the color somewhere in between the golden nights and the raiders.

15:59.333 --> 16:02.618
[SPEAKER_06]: And then they'll have the Kelly Green to go back as is there.

16:02.598 --> 16:08.773
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, they'll bring them out and people will just go, I mean, it's such a great jersey and a great college.

16:08.853 --> 16:13.004
[SPEAKER_06]: So they bring it back and people will just, you know, buy a million jersey.

16:13.024 --> 16:16.793
[SPEAKER_06]: Ricky Henderson jerseys will sell out until the cows come home and, you know,

16:17.870 --> 16:22.458
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so in the comments we got our first one here about our stat correction for the night.

16:22.498 --> 16:26.565
[SPEAKER_05]: We got he has so don't had a down here at four of you three our homerons 100 by Marbi.

16:27.086 --> 16:29.650
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, yeah, Chris Ben was right.

16:30.131 --> 16:30.612
[SPEAKER_06]: That's weird.

16:30.692 --> 16:31.533
[SPEAKER_06]: That's a weird handle.

16:32.154 --> 16:35.620
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I hope that's not his if that's his real name.

16:35.680 --> 16:39.186
[SPEAKER_06]: That's a real heavy piece of fire.

16:39.166 --> 16:45.715
[SPEAKER_05]: But on that note, like I said, I think it is getting that point where it's eventually going to self-correct.

16:45.775 --> 16:47.978
[SPEAKER_05]: And the A's, that is a crazy story, Liz.

16:48.038 --> 16:48.919
[SPEAKER_05]: I didn't know that one.

16:48.940 --> 16:49.681
[SPEAKER_05]: That's a fun one.

16:50.201 --> 16:50.602
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

16:51.163 --> 16:51.924
[SPEAKER_02]: There's two reasons.

16:51.964 --> 16:52.284
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

16:52.324 --> 16:52.865
[SPEAKER_02]: There was one.

16:52.905 --> 17:02.338
[SPEAKER_02]: There's a rumor that either they didn't have enough kind of presence in the city or the name was too generic to copyright.

17:02.538 --> 17:03.320
[SPEAKER_05]: interesting.

17:04.262 --> 17:05.285
[SPEAKER_05]: So, but that's fun.

17:05.726 --> 17:12.823
[SPEAKER_05]: Like I said, that's almost like the, you know, here's somebody swooping in and stealing the internet website name from somebody and saying, sorry to bad you want to pay.

17:13.023 --> 17:14.006
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but that's interesting.

17:14.026 --> 17:18.657
[SPEAKER_02]: Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, because he got net for that very reason.

17:20.206 --> 17:24.110
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, so anyway, let's talk this division scene.

17:24.130 --> 17:27.433
[SPEAKER_05]: We are already 15, almost 20 minutes into this show.

17:27.473 --> 17:29.114
[SPEAKER_05]: Everybody hit us up in the comments.

17:29.154 --> 17:30.455
[SPEAKER_05]: We are having a wonderful time.

17:30.635 --> 17:33.558
[SPEAKER_05]: Got a bunch of y'all already in there, listening and chatting with us.

17:34.479 --> 17:38.182
[SPEAKER_05]: And hit us up with some questions on the AL, the vision that we're going to be talking about here.

17:38.703 --> 17:42.246
[SPEAKER_05]: So let's talk Yankees first and give you a chance to talk a little bit more.

17:42.626 --> 17:44.588
[SPEAKER_05]: What is going on in New York?

17:44.688 --> 17:49.993
[SPEAKER_05]: Because this is not the Yankees off season that we typically tend to see.

17:52.032 --> 17:57.980
[SPEAKER_00]: I got nothing for you.

17:58.040 --> 18:00.844
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're all as confused as you are.

18:00.884 --> 18:07.393
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, are they holding out for the inevitable lockout?

18:08.315 --> 18:10.538
[SPEAKER_00]: Or like what's happening?

18:10.758 --> 18:14.283
[SPEAKER_00]: Or is Cody Ballinger and Scott Boris holding everything up?

18:15.024 --> 18:16.386
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like which one is it?

18:17.159 --> 18:19.822
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, see, yeah, I don't know.

18:20.002 --> 18:21.524
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're all on Cody Belinger.

18:21.604 --> 18:27.091
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're waiting to see what happens there, before and then like before they pivot, I guess.

18:29.214 --> 18:29.314
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

18:29.334 --> 18:31.697
[SPEAKER_05]: On paper, though, the Yankees are still the Yankees.

18:31.857 --> 18:32.358
[SPEAKER_05]: Might as well.

18:32.638 --> 18:32.738
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

18:32.758 --> 18:33.659
[SPEAKER_05]: Cody Belinger right now.

18:33.940 --> 18:36.062
[SPEAKER_05]: And you're going to get this season back.

18:36.082 --> 18:42.390
[SPEAKER_05]: You're going to get picture back in Garrett Cole, who is always a thorn in the Toronto Blue Jay's side, you know, whether it's, you know,

18:43.552 --> 18:44.913
[SPEAKER_05]: It's starting to fight or whatever it might be.

18:45.394 --> 18:46.695
[SPEAKER_05]: It's been pitching very, very well.

18:47.276 --> 18:49.237
[SPEAKER_05]: But you're going to get some pieces back, too.

18:49.418 --> 18:51.159
[SPEAKER_05]: And you're going to get a whole season out of Louis Hill.

18:51.179 --> 18:53.461
[SPEAKER_05]: So the pitching was a piece last year.

18:53.642 --> 18:54.302
[SPEAKER_05]: That was a problem.

18:55.443 --> 18:56.464
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, sort of.

18:56.604 --> 18:58.987
[SPEAKER_00]: But like one of, yeah.

18:59.707 --> 19:02.750
[SPEAKER_00]: So the biggest issue is honestly the bullpen.

19:04.072 --> 19:12.900
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think this year is scary, because we don't know what Garrett Cole we're going to get, right?

19:13.454 --> 19:14.596
[SPEAKER_00]: solid or not.

19:14.977 --> 19:19.525
[SPEAKER_00]: But other than that, we have Carlos or Don and Clark Schmidt out until June.

19:20.227 --> 19:26.719
[SPEAKER_00]: So we've got to get a starting pitcher at least.

19:27.180 --> 19:29.043
[SPEAKER_06]: And Max Fried has not looked great.

19:29.825 --> 19:32.890
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, he's had his moments, but he certainly is not.

19:33.351 --> 19:36.998
[SPEAKER_06]: He's not putting the fear into anybody that's coming up to face them that.

19:37.298 --> 19:42.844
[SPEAKER_06]: I think the Yankees, it's his opinion, yeah, but that a good season.

19:43.285 --> 19:54.077
[SPEAKER_00]: I kind of disagree, because he got excellent season, like most wins in the league, I don't think Max Freeds are a problem for us.

19:54.137 --> 19:57.160
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited for him to be back.

19:57.180 --> 20:01.365
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, Cam Schliller was a huge surprise for all of us.

20:01.750 --> 20:12.940
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that will warn we have enough pieces that can fill in, but yeah, Luis Hill will have, but like again, he's another guy that you don't know what you're going to get.

20:13.721 --> 20:17.064
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's, it's a little up in the air right now.

20:20.147 --> 20:26.453
[SPEAKER_05]: And I, it's, I, this is kind of hot off the presses a little bit because it happened right before we went on the show tonight.

20:26.673 --> 20:30.677
[SPEAKER_05]: I know the Yankees were trying to steal Edward

20:31.062 --> 20:35.346
[SPEAKER_05]: And I honestly thought that was just going to be a done thing and it wasn't even a thought.

20:35.547 --> 20:41.573
[SPEAKER_05]: I, as much as you probably don't want to see some certain players, I figured that was adjacent to Minga's for him and it was just done.

20:42.554 --> 20:45.637
[SPEAKER_05]: And it was going to be very similar to the package that the cubs just gave.

20:46.438 --> 20:51.883
[SPEAKER_05]: But unfortunately for you, he is moving over to the South and our North Side Chicago.

20:52.644 --> 21:00.732
[SPEAKER_00]: But hearing that the cubs had to give up their number on prospect, like makes me feel a little better

21:01.640 --> 21:10.030
[SPEAKER_05]: I think you wouldn't have to give up something majorly ready in that equation, because it's not that you guys have a bad farm system, but there's only so many of those stand out people in any baseball organization.

21:10.731 --> 21:14.495
[SPEAKER_05]: And I just can't believe the cubs have done that two off seasons in a row now.

21:14.515 --> 21:17.278
[SPEAKER_05]: And they got nothing out of the Kyle Tucker thing.

21:17.299 --> 21:17.579
[SPEAKER_05]: I know.

21:18.280 --> 21:18.780
[SPEAKER_05]: It's crazy.

21:20.042 --> 21:20.903
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got to run.

21:21.103 --> 21:26.610
[SPEAKER_00]: Next that like, you know, I mean, you never know, you've got your will warrant in your cams float alert that come up.

21:26.630 --> 21:31.275
[SPEAKER_00]: And I know we've got some guys in our system that they trust,

21:31.745 --> 21:33.968
[SPEAKER_00]: one of the best in the miners, right?

21:34.448 --> 21:41.577
[SPEAKER_00]: So I know that they've got some guys in the system that plan be if we have to go to them until like May, June, whatever.

21:42.619 --> 21:48.246
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll, like I think, we'll be okay if we can just snag one starter, right?

21:48.406 --> 21:54.854
[SPEAKER_00]: Or at least in any theater, we have Ryan Yarro, too, who is such a big piece of our bullpen.

21:55.235 --> 21:58.579
[SPEAKER_00]: And if he hill step up as a starter in the meantime, too, so.

21:59.015 --> 21:59.976
[SPEAKER_05]: You're welcome for that one.

21:59.996 --> 22:00.597
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

22:00.617 --> 22:03.401
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, but we would all feel more comfortable with one or two.

22:03.521 --> 22:03.841
[SPEAKER_00]: Yep.

22:05.743 --> 22:07.285
[SPEAKER_02]: What is your thoughts on, on Boone?

22:16.237 --> 22:17.879
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, everybody asked me this.

22:18.239 --> 22:20.322
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Erin wins a puppet if I'm being honest.

22:20.482 --> 22:23.706
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't blame him for a lot of the issues that we have.

22:23.956 --> 22:29.704
[SPEAKER_00]: he's made a lot of dumb like bullpen mistakes right like game one of the world series last year.

22:29.824 --> 22:35.492
[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, there are just some things that I think we have to blame our analytics team.

22:35.812 --> 22:39.938
[SPEAKER_00]: The Yankees are such a head analytics.

22:40.258 --> 22:44.124
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought in my opinion, it's higher up the chain than Aaron Moon.

22:44.144 --> 22:45.446
[SPEAKER_00]: It's Brian Cashman.

22:45.466 --> 22:47.228
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the analytics department.

22:48.490 --> 22:53.777
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Aaron Moon gets a lot of hate and the guys obviously love him like all the players

22:53.993 --> 22:55.836
[SPEAKER_00]: Aaron judge will go to that for him.

22:56.356 --> 23:01.504
[SPEAKER_00]: So I just think that he gets a lot more flack than he probably deserves.

23:02.486 --> 23:03.487
[SPEAKER_02]: The Jays were like that.

23:03.547 --> 23:05.490
[SPEAKER_02]: Like with the nerds, the nerds wrecking everything.

23:05.991 --> 23:09.035
[SPEAKER_02]: That was, remember, like, do you guys remember when was it?

23:09.055 --> 23:16.306
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, card game two football burrows and Schneider was like, I didn't make the call.

23:16.706 --> 23:18.509
[SPEAKER_02]: And the head office is like, oh, we didn't do it.

23:18.549 --> 23:19.611
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, we didn't do it.

23:19.631 --> 23:20.973
[SPEAKER_04]: Why are two layers?

23:21.093 --> 23:22.515
[SPEAKER_02]: Those nerds made that call.

23:23.592 --> 23:24.153
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

23:24.173 --> 23:25.294
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

23:26.635 --> 23:30.859
[SPEAKER_05]: So I got a couple of good ones here in the comment section per the Yankee discussion here.

23:30.919 --> 23:38.286
[SPEAKER_05]: And one of them here is I forgot about this, but goodbye to our statin fellow Metspan Colin here.

23:39.648 --> 23:49.017
[SPEAKER_05]: Lucas Gielito and him were actually, you know, teammates at would be a front fun signing and he had a pretty good, a little bit of resurgence there at the end of the season for the Red Sox.

23:49.077 --> 23:52.300
[SPEAKER_05]: So that would be an interesting one to see what his contract even would look like.

23:53.410 --> 23:54.111
[SPEAKER_00]: I can see that.

23:54.872 --> 23:55.393
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that.

23:56.194 --> 24:04.526
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think Matt Blake is very confident in his abilities to turn a guy around to and he has done that.

24:04.666 --> 24:08.552
[SPEAKER_00]: Look at Luke Weaver, like, dude thought his career was over.

24:08.993 --> 24:09.253
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

24:09.313 --> 24:19.047
[SPEAKER_00]: And then all of a sudden he was the best closeer and baseball last year, he had an injury that really turned things south for him, but I feel like.

24:19.988 --> 24:23.517
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I trust, I trust map like I like it.

24:24.741 --> 24:36.512
[SPEAKER_05]: Is there anybody that you are like dying to see the Yankees pursue in that pitching thing already in the bullpen, or what's your dream yet for the Yankees fans right now outside of Cody Belladri so.

24:37.943 --> 24:40.847
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, the dream get for anyone as Paul schemes, right?

24:41.028 --> 24:42.370
[SPEAKER_00]: But that's not happening.

24:43.692 --> 24:45.114
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a room was a lovely thing.

24:45.374 --> 24:48.559
[SPEAKER_05]: Maybe I should said, like, you know, at least read some of the list.

24:48.640 --> 24:50.042
[SPEAKER_05]: Basically, the reality.

24:50.062 --> 24:51.384
[SPEAKER_05]: Realistic reality.

24:51.404 --> 24:51.764
[SPEAKER_00]: Great.

24:51.784 --> 24:51.985
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

24:52.005 --> 24:57.012
[SPEAKER_00]: So the Yankees have had their eyes on Alcontra for years, right?

24:57.073 --> 25:03.883
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, the biggest thing might be their worried about his injury history, but like,

25:04.471 --> 25:08.317
[SPEAKER_00]: What picture in the league these days is not a ticking time bomb.

25:09.058 --> 25:10.901
[SPEAKER_00]: It's the way to gain now.

25:12.203 --> 25:25.503
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't know, at this point, if they could snack him, that would be great, but I just don't know if the marlins are going to be willing to give, like, I think that the hang up with the marlins is always a, they just want so much from us.

25:27.125 --> 25:27.305
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

25:27.325 --> 25:32.453
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they just got a number one prospect for

25:32.602 --> 25:38.630
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah, a former cyan winner, it's still in her what two or three years team control, I think, too.

25:38.751 --> 25:46.181
[SPEAKER_05]: So it's not like it's just a, you know, little flip on the radar, but to that point, you would still be buying a little a little bit.

25:47.102 --> 25:54.072
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, I don't know, Friday, but ultimately, obviously an excellent addition.

25:54.252 --> 26:01.242
[SPEAKER_05]: So it'll be.

26:02.015 --> 26:04.559
[SPEAKER_05]: Obviously, I think your offense, though, is still looking pretty girl.

26:04.579 --> 26:08.064
[SPEAKER_05]: At least it's anchored by the raining three-time MVP now.

26:08.144 --> 26:08.524
[SPEAKER_05]: Correct?

26:09.405 --> 26:10.687
[SPEAKER_00]: See time, yeah.

26:12.049 --> 26:16.175
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, let's, let's like some enough to the point that you're a nice, the family.

26:16.676 --> 26:17.397
[SPEAKER_02]: I do like them.

26:17.677 --> 26:18.298
[SPEAKER_02]: I do like them.

26:18.318 --> 26:19.720
[SPEAKER_02]: I like to see them walk.

26:19.700 --> 26:21.845
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, well, you're welcome.

26:21.865 --> 26:23.369
[SPEAKER_06]: I think most people like him.

26:23.770 --> 26:25.714
[SPEAKER_06]: I think that's the interesting thing with Aaron Judge.

26:25.955 --> 26:30.485
[SPEAKER_06]: I think Aaron Judge has generally been the first Yankee.

26:30.986 --> 26:33.392
[SPEAKER_06]: It's kind of universally liked.

26:33.733 --> 26:38.063
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, I mean, obviously there's going to be some places where you go and they're just idiots.

26:38.043 --> 26:45.791
[SPEAKER_06]: But I think universally, most people can appreciate the fact that he's an awesome hit or one of the best ever.

26:46.472 --> 26:49.075
[SPEAKER_06]: And he seems like a really nice genuine guy.

26:49.415 --> 26:53.219
[SPEAKER_06]: And so I think when you put that together, and also he looks like he's 12.

26:53.480 --> 26:59.646
[SPEAKER_06]: Like if you don't look at everything, if you just look at his face, he looks like a little kid.

26:59.686 --> 27:02.329
[SPEAKER_06]: So you can't, you're like, nah, I'm not really gonna get mad at that.

27:02.309 --> 27:03.370
[SPEAKER_06]: Look at him.

27:03.551 --> 27:04.712
[SPEAKER_06]: Look at him way up there.

27:04.792 --> 27:08.317
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, he's a big, he really is like a he's a big teddy bear.

27:08.497 --> 27:09.638
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

27:09.658 --> 27:11.421
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

27:11.481 --> 27:20.152
[SPEAKER_00]: That can be detrimental to like there are a lot of Yankee fans and it's not just Yankee fans being like spoiled grads.

27:20.653 --> 27:23.717
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, look like we are so lucky to have Aaron Judge.

27:24.137 --> 27:31.827
[SPEAKER_00]: But there are times where we just need him to have a little more

27:32.262 --> 27:48.516
[SPEAKER_00]: to be brutally honest, which is what I think John Carlos Dan brings to the table to us at this point, because he's very inconsistent these days for us, but that's one thing that he brings that is invaluable, that kind of leadership.

27:51.500 --> 27:59.068
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and you can see that a little bit across the diamond, too, but to that point, that was from the BlueJay's problems for millions of years and honestly guys 2015.

27:59.288 --> 28:16.427
[SPEAKER_05]: That's what really was the Josh Donaldson effect with him kicking everybody in the ass a little bit, but it's sometimes it does take that John Carlos Stanton that veteran or whoever it might be to be the, you know,

28:17.572 --> 28:21.417
[SPEAKER_05]: He strikes me as the main mentor in that locker room.

28:22.038 --> 28:29.488
[SPEAKER_05]: Everybody's looking to him for that lead by example, tight, but he doesn't, to your point, maybe the one that is the, you know, the push at the same time.

28:29.548 --> 28:30.650
[SPEAKER_05]: Very lead by example.

28:30.750 --> 28:32.753
[SPEAKER_05]: It looks like, I don't know if that's just my thought.

28:32.793 --> 28:37.679
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's like, he's so painfully humble.

28:38.020 --> 28:47.072
[SPEAKER_00]: Like his parents just raised the most like humble, genuine kind person that I don't think he has that mean bone and his

28:47.575 --> 28:51.620
[SPEAKER_00]: to like be the mean guy when he needs to be.

28:51.640 --> 28:53.282
[SPEAKER_00]: So everybody's best friend.

28:53.742 --> 28:55.584
[SPEAKER_06]: I think it's wildly interesting.

28:55.604 --> 29:00.130
[SPEAKER_06]: And I mean, this is just a dichotomy of, and this is why I love baseball so much.

29:00.630 --> 29:11.423
[SPEAKER_06]: The dichotomy of the fact that the leader of the Yankees is too nice is mind-bought, you know, like he's too nice for the fans to find irony moment.

29:11.403 --> 29:16.168
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, I would think right now if I had to pick a leader for the Jays, I'd say it's George Springer.

29:16.208 --> 29:18.230
[SPEAKER_06]: That would be, I think, are you, would you guys give me that one?

29:18.690 --> 29:20.172
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so, yeah, no problem.

29:20.192 --> 29:22.254
[SPEAKER_06]: Again, George Springer couldn't be a nicer guy.

29:22.494 --> 29:29.881
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm sure he loses his shit when he gets in the, in the, you know, in the room every now and again, gets in the dugout, but you don't really see it.

29:30.061 --> 29:33.124
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, he really does genuinely see the early nice guy.

29:33.485 --> 29:39.030
[SPEAKER_06]: And the kind of guy that you've been in a slump or something like that, like he would come up and like take you out for a nice cream culinary.

29:39.010 --> 29:42.634
[SPEAKER_06]: you know, like something like that rather than rather than go kick your stall over.

29:42.694 --> 30:01.377
[SPEAKER_06]: So it's, I just love the dichotomy because I feel like there's teams like Atlanta that need that same thing, like they need the kick in the ass, need Philadelphia, needs Bryce Harper to be an ass, to allow them to, to, you know, whereas, you know, a fan, some of the, the Dodgers don't really need that.

30:01.617 --> 30:08.325
[SPEAKER_06]: And their fans don't, like if there was somebody that was losing their marbles,

30:08.305 --> 30:10.247
[SPEAKER_06]: It's a very interesting thing.

30:10.568 --> 30:11.969
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a really good point.

30:12.069 --> 30:20.259
[SPEAKER_00]: But that is the leadership style or was the leadership style of George Steinbrainer that rubbed off on Derek Cheaters.

30:20.279 --> 30:25.785
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, that's the same mentality that Michael Jordan had to, right, or Kobe Bryant.

30:26.165 --> 30:29.129
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a no, you like, you win or nothing, right?

30:29.149 --> 30:30.951
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we win or it's nothing.

30:31.612 --> 30:33.594
[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what it has to be.

30:33.694 --> 30:34.675
[SPEAKER_00]: I think sometimes.

30:36.838 --> 30:37.198
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

30:37.398 --> 30:42.804
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I feel like the BlueJace finally figured that one out this year and to Jason's a big fan of the show, Shoresy.

30:43.545 --> 30:44.726
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't hate losing enough.

30:44.746 --> 30:45.567
[SPEAKER_05]: You got to figure it out.

30:48.390 --> 30:53.616
[SPEAKER_05]: So let's dive into some of the other teams that are on the periphery of both of our favorites here on this show.

30:53.876 --> 31:02.345
[SPEAKER_05]: And I want to talk, particularly in one, and that is the Baltimore Orioles, are in a very, very, very odd spot.

31:03.086 --> 31:06.510
[SPEAKER_05]: Everybody expected them to be one of the best teams in the

31:06.490 --> 31:08.052
[SPEAKER_05]: plagued by injuries.

31:08.613 --> 31:17.023
[SPEAKER_05]: There's start to the 2025 campaign that literally had a embarrassment of perishes on their injured list.

31:17.243 --> 31:26.534
[SPEAKER_05]: They had a whole five-man starting rotation on the injured list, start the 2025 row, you know, run, and it just was not a good time for them.

31:26.935 --> 31:33.983
[SPEAKER_05]: They come back this year, retooled, refreshed with all their young players, Jackson Holiday, Gunner Henderson, and Company.

31:34.435 --> 31:42.305
[SPEAKER_05]: And this offseason, they have found a way to add to what was a really ravaged, you know, pitching rotation.

31:42.366 --> 31:48.093
[SPEAKER_05]: They add the polar bear to come a little bit south and hang out and ball to more in Peter Lanzo.

31:48.614 --> 31:55.643
[SPEAKER_05]: They have made some really, really good moves to accentuate a very, very good Major League baseball team already.

31:56.444 --> 31:59.228
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know who wants to run with the ball first,

32:00.895 --> 32:07.585
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, well, it's wild when you look at their subtractions to their additions, right?

32:07.605 --> 32:09.208
[SPEAKER_00]: Like who have they lost?

32:09.488 --> 32:11.431
[SPEAKER_00]: Like Grayson Rotterie guys, right?

32:11.451 --> 32:13.294
[SPEAKER_00]: Which is kind of a significant loss.

32:13.334 --> 32:19.384
[SPEAKER_00]: But then there's like who Gary Sanchez potentially are their free agent less?

32:19.444 --> 32:22.889
[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's and then when you look at their additions, it's absolutely insane.

32:23.230 --> 32:29.299
[SPEAKER_00]: You're adding in some veteran pieces too that I think are going to be such a great addition to

32:29.414 --> 32:31.577
[SPEAKER_00]: the babies that they have there, right?

32:31.658 --> 32:37.247
[SPEAKER_00]: And like, you know, some of these guys have been around a little while now, Ruchman and like, in Henderson, right?

32:37.307 --> 32:39.350
[SPEAKER_00]: They're in there, like, there are a few years in now.

32:39.450 --> 32:43.276
[SPEAKER_00]: So the leadership that they're going to bring to the table but they're still young enough.

32:43.316 --> 32:46.001
[SPEAKER_00]: They can learn from a guy like Peter Lanzo.

32:46.461 --> 32:49.146
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, now you're adding in like all these arms.

32:49.807 --> 32:50.768
[SPEAKER_00]: They're scary.

32:54.114 --> 32:54.214
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

32:54.234 --> 32:56.097
[SPEAKER_05]: We got one on the, yeah, God, Jason.

32:56.178 --> 33:01.004
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, I was just going to say, I mean, I feel like Baltimore is a really interesting duck.

33:02.726 --> 33:06.070
[SPEAKER_06]: Their young talent is strange to me.

33:07.391 --> 33:13.298
[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like they've got nothing but, you know, yeah, they've got nothing but, you know, positives.

33:13.419 --> 33:19.045
[SPEAKER_06]: And then you watch their games and you watch these young guys kick the ball around and turn on each other a bit.

33:19.206 --> 33:20.447
[SPEAKER_06]: And, you know, you're like,

33:20.427 --> 33:35.668
[SPEAKER_06]: Really like I mean you guys are our five or six of the most talented young players in the league and And I don't know if it was the I like I don't know if Santander was kind of the glue that was holding that team together a little bit based on senior leadership

33:35.648 --> 33:42.745
[SPEAKER_06]: But maybe I mean, we're just watching them last year and I understand they struggled with with losing that much pitching and all the rest of them.

33:42.765 --> 33:44.249
[SPEAKER_06]: They made a shitload of errors.

33:44.549 --> 33:54.012
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, I mean, for guys who are expected to be gold Glovers and top of their position and all of the rest of it, you may, they put the ball around a lot and

33:54.397 --> 34:03.388
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, I don't know, it's, I find it interesting when that they maybe they just didn't have to just point just a second ago.

34:03.408 --> 34:09.176
[SPEAKER_06]: Maybe they didn't have the iron fist putting them down a little bit and keeping them on the grind a little bit more.

34:09.616 --> 34:12.720
[SPEAKER_06]: And so as they get a little farther away from it, they're like, oh, whatever.

34:13.161 --> 34:21.231
[SPEAKER_06]: So, I'll be really interested to see what the Orioles look like this year, because, you know, they remind me of, they remind me of the Royals.

34:21.211 --> 34:25.036
[SPEAKER_06]: you know, aside from having parasas that sort of senior statesmen.

34:25.296 --> 34:27.659
[SPEAKER_06]: I think if the royals didn't have him, they'd be the same.

34:27.879 --> 34:28.981
[SPEAKER_06]: They'd come off the rails.

34:29.241 --> 34:34.227
[SPEAKER_06]: They'd be making it ton of errors and, um, I don't know, interest fear point.

34:34.428 --> 34:35.809
[SPEAKER_05]: They had that true north, right?

34:35.869 --> 34:37.311
[SPEAKER_05]: This is the person that's guiding them.

34:37.331 --> 34:39.234
[SPEAKER_05]: You have the compass point in the right direction.

34:39.314 --> 34:39.454
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.

34:39.854 --> 34:43.379
[SPEAKER_05]: The one that scares me the most in that line-up coming back healthy this year.

34:43.459 --> 34:46.763
[SPEAKER_05]: And this is the weird one, too, because the royals of kind of almost,

34:46.743 --> 34:49.610
[SPEAKER_05]: signed one of their rookies long term right underneath his feet.

34:50.032 --> 34:51.114
[SPEAKER_05]: And that's Adly Rushman.

34:51.656 --> 34:54.383
[SPEAKER_05]: He is always been such an insanely good hitter.

34:54.463 --> 34:59.255
[SPEAKER_05]: You could tell that he never got his feet underneath him last season after being hurt in the spring.

34:59.296 --> 35:01.782
[SPEAKER_05]: And he...

35:01.762 --> 35:10.713
[SPEAKER_05]: There's a couple of years ago that it was just raking in the home run derby, and just putting on a show from both sides of the plate, which nobody really does.

35:10.733 --> 35:20.024
[SPEAKER_05]: And so, and he's always done that in the regular season, too, and has been that leader, but they now have this young kid named San Basalo, that is just insanely good, too.

35:20.925 --> 35:28.073
[SPEAKER_05]: And they have a insanely two-good talent

35:28.171 --> 35:45.393
[SPEAKER_05]: It might be nice to have them just hand them back and forth the age and catching and they go last the whole entire season and just rake at the plate, but it'll be interesting to see how that dynamic really, really, really lands everything out, you know, but yeah, the four wheels are going to be an easy block this year.

35:47.135 --> 35:52.201
[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry, I mean, I think too though, they've run a lot of things to iron out with their leadership.

35:52.261 --> 35:55.225
[SPEAKER_00]: They've had a lot of leadership changes the last few

35:55.610 --> 35:58.934
[SPEAKER_00]: ownership and like all these managerial changes.

35:59.074 --> 36:10.746
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think now having like a year after the revolt with that, like, yeah, I think that that definitely probably played into some of the shenanigans we were hearing with their clubhouse.

36:11.227 --> 36:13.069
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah, definitely.

36:13.509 --> 36:21.177
[SPEAKER_05]: It's amazing how just some of those little toxic things continue to just, you know, leech into all the wrong places and really erode everything.

36:21.317 --> 36:23.760
[SPEAKER_05]: But to your, that's a great point, very, very good point.

36:24.449 --> 36:29.418
[SPEAKER_05]: So, is anybody else having anything I would like to put the cherry on top on the Baltimore conversation before we put this to the other?

36:29.438 --> 36:44.044
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

36:44.480 --> 36:49.568
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, there it is.

36:50.650 --> 36:51.591
[SPEAKER_05]: So go and forward.

36:51.692 --> 36:58.503
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm just going to go down the ranks a little bit here, too, because we'll get to the team that just drives all of us completely insane to put the, you know, the end on it.

36:58.883 --> 37:00.846
[SPEAKER_05]: And let's just talk the Boston Red Sacks.

37:00.987 --> 37:07.998
[SPEAKER_05]: Obviously talking about the main rivalry and all things major league baseball and sports in general.

37:08.058 --> 37:09.981
[SPEAKER_05]: Everybody knows about that rivalry.

37:10.501 --> 37:24.396
[SPEAKER_05]: the red socks that added just enough this off season building off some good things that they have going but to that point I don't know if I'm seeing terribly anything different there but they always last year they found a way to surprise a lot of people.

37:25.517 --> 37:38.331
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah I mean it's I think you know having a curse I kid like Cassie has hurt for the most part you know for the last couple of years even.

37:38.598 --> 37:46.650
[SPEAKER_06]: They've got some really good talent on that team, but again, they kind of, you know,

37:47.626 --> 38:09.263
[SPEAKER_06]: They've struggled when they needed to be good and they've been good What it hasn't really made any difference, and so I mean if they can keep that up then we're up Well, this all four of us will be happy watching them sort of flounder in third or fourth place Yeah, but I mean they're such a good full of last years and so weird for them

38:09.867 --> 38:19.120
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, they don't seem like they had the same identity and then you have the, what could be their new identity really moving in and they're past the Raphael de Verstroma and whatever was going on there.

38:19.420 --> 38:24.467
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's a good going.

38:25.008 --> 38:27.011
[SPEAKER_00]: I have it like they're so confusing to me.

38:27.612 --> 38:37.005
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like they survived somebody, but they only add enough to like fill in that subtraction and they just like they just do the bare minimum that feels like to me.

38:37.576 --> 38:43.528
[SPEAKER_00]: So I like it'll be interesting to see if they get pregnant, then yeah, we're talking about a different team.

38:43.969 --> 38:46.915
[SPEAKER_00]: But right now, like they do not look better than they did last year.

38:47.436 --> 38:50.202
[SPEAKER_00]: Wilson's materials, like he doesn't get there for me.

38:50.890 --> 38:58.003
[SPEAKER_05]: Now, it helps move the needle maybe for the pitching staff to maximize a little bit, but when they did pretty good last year or so, okay, great.

38:58.023 --> 39:05.957
[SPEAKER_05]: That means translates maybe to a couple of extra wins than what they did last season, not the to your point completely moving the needle.

39:06.138 --> 39:11.768
[SPEAKER_05]: The thing that I, if I'm in red sox nation and I'm just, you know, pretending I'm in that nation for a minute.

39:12.018 --> 39:32.946
[SPEAKER_05]: The only thing that really gets me excited is I'm going to see Roman Anthony and Marcel O'Mare play a full season, and those two rookies were playing really, really well and both unfortunately got hurt at the end of the season and didn't get the play out the rest, but really, really cool stuff to see yeah I just love seeing young prospects doesn't matter who's team coming up and having the stories that we have you know, and not every

39:33.128 --> 39:42.742
[SPEAKER_05]: person's a Davis Schneider story that we get to hear and love or any Clement that we love from the blue jays are seeing what Aaron Judge turned into for you over the you know of course his rookie season and everything.

39:43.544 --> 39:52.657
[SPEAKER_05]: It's always just something fun to watch and me being around here in Rochester, New York, I get the pleasure of seeing all the minor leaders come through here and I get to see plenty of those Grant and Wilkesbury Railwriters.

39:53.458 --> 39:55.862
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, we love our railwriters.

39:57.513 --> 40:05.268
[SPEAKER_05]: But to me, that's the one that pushes the needle for the red socks this season, especially if they don't bring Alex Braggman back.

40:06.350 --> 40:08.895
[SPEAKER_05]: What are you going to get out of those two gentlemen for the red socks?

40:09.697 --> 40:13.023
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, and don't you guys agree that the Schwarber deal was weird?

40:13.524 --> 40:19.656
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, why would, I mean, such a strange thing for them to go after do a choir.

40:20.193 --> 40:25.018
[SPEAKER_06]: you know, and why would I mean, I guess he's getting paid, but why would you leave?

40:25.059 --> 40:25.699
[SPEAKER_06]: Why would he leave?

40:25.779 --> 40:28.022
[SPEAKER_02]: I wouldn't have left, I don't know.

40:28.122 --> 40:28.823
[SPEAKER_02]: Look at something that's weird.

40:28.843 --> 40:30.485
[SPEAKER_02]: He seemed like he had that a good thing going there.

40:30.765 --> 40:32.907
[SPEAKER_02]: But I always feel like Billy, I know we're going off again.

40:33.268 --> 40:35.290
[SPEAKER_02]: But it was Billy, it was just like cost for something.

40:35.630 --> 40:36.672
[SPEAKER_02]: And I like Bryce Harper.

40:36.692 --> 40:38.414
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to see him get her ring at some point.

40:39.094 --> 40:44.721
[SPEAKER_02]: They're like usually my, you know, in my playoff team to cheer for, but like, I don't know why, I don't know.

40:44.841 --> 40:46.463
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know why I live, but I guess it's money.

40:46.503 --> 40:48.445
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know.

40:49.032 --> 40:50.294
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, sure.

40:50.314 --> 40:51.455
[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.

40:51.656 --> 40:52.136
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

40:52.296 --> 40:55.841
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, sure.

40:56.042 --> 40:56.502
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

40:56.642 --> 40:57.183
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

40:57.203 --> 40:57.463
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

40:57.704 --> 40:58.345
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

40:58.525 --> 40:59.386
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

40:59.446 --> 40:59.807
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

40:59.847 --> 41:00.007
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

41:00.187 --> 41:00.448
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

41:00.528 --> 41:01.068
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

41:01.189 --> 41:01.729
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

41:01.910 --> 41:02.110
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

41:02.230 --> 41:02.610
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

41:02.671 --> 41:03.131
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

41:03.372 --> 41:03.992
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

41:04.493 --> 41:07.177
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

41:07.197 --> 41:07.697
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

41:07.717 --> 41:07.958
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

41:08.038 --> 41:08.138
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.

41:09.333 --> 41:18.486
[SPEAKER_05]: So the last team that we get to talk about, like I said, me pesky, always the thorn in your side, the Tampa Bay raise.

41:18.586 --> 41:23.233
[SPEAKER_05]: And then we had to deal with our favorite thing in the American League East this year, once again.

41:23.273 --> 41:25.256
[SPEAKER_05]: And that is, they will be once again playing games.

41:25.316 --> 41:27.599
[SPEAKER_05]: It looks like Atropa can't have feel.

41:27.719 --> 41:29.662
[SPEAKER_05]: Take it back really.

41:29.682 --> 41:31.505
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be able to get a fucking truck.

41:31.525 --> 41:31.685
[SPEAKER_02]: Fuck.

41:32.426 --> 41:35.250
[SPEAKER_02]: I asked somebody asked a Blue Jazz reporter.

41:35.310 --> 41:37.213
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, hey, what does Atropa smell like?

41:37.193 --> 41:44.305
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if it was a wet tent, I don't know if it was like center blocks and shame I a little bit to that point back in there.

41:46.488 --> 41:47.530
[SPEAKER_05]: But yeah.

41:47.550 --> 41:50.234
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm like ready to rush a rain up.

41:50.255 --> 41:51.156
[SPEAKER_02]: Where's Randy?

41:51.196 --> 41:52.037
[SPEAKER_02]: Randy plays for?

41:52.418 --> 41:53.780
[SPEAKER_02]: Who's Randy with them?

41:53.820 --> 41:54.221
[SPEAKER_02]: Mariner.

41:54.762 --> 41:55.062
[SPEAKER_06]: Mariner.

41:55.082 --> 41:55.804
[SPEAKER_02]: Mariner, Mariner.

41:56.004 --> 41:56.925
[SPEAKER_02]: He was with Tampa, right?

41:57.006 --> 41:57.747
[SPEAKER_02]: He was a Tampa guy.

41:58.328 --> 41:59.209
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

41:59.229 --> 41:59.590
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.

41:59.610 --> 42:01.513
[SPEAKER_02]: When?

42:02.236 --> 42:07.301
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, when they got rid of Randy, I was like, think fucking God, because Randy was a guy.

42:07.321 --> 42:10.885
[SPEAKER_02]: I was always like, Randy dropped that ball and he never did.

42:10.925 --> 42:16.691
[SPEAKER_02]: And it felt like the J's especially, it's like, you know, like, go on this journey.

42:17.011 --> 42:19.434
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like you're walking down the street and you're carrying something.

42:19.714 --> 42:21.977
[SPEAKER_02]: And you see your ex, and you drop everything, right?

42:22.077 --> 42:29.104
[SPEAKER_02]: If that was the, that was Tampa with the J's, we could have it together be great.

42:29.084 --> 42:39.037
[SPEAKER_02]: to fucking Tampa, the Tampa Bay Race, who are so limp on the slick dick, they don't even have a real logo, most of the time it's a ray of fucking lights.

42:39.378 --> 42:40.479
[SPEAKER_02]: Get out of here.

42:41.100 --> 42:42.742
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, that was my rant.

42:43.243 --> 42:45.786
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what's in the ankle, so I'm a similar situation with the race.

42:50.353 --> 42:52.856
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, they are, they're so pesky.

42:53.176 --> 42:58.163
[SPEAKER_00]: And like my dad always says, you cannot count the rays out.

43:00.202 --> 43:04.687
[SPEAKER_05]: My role as always, you can't out raise the raise because they always think in some way.

43:05.287 --> 43:09.992
[SPEAKER_06]: What the raise have done and they've always done it is they've always picked athletes over position players.

43:10.333 --> 43:23.847
[SPEAKER_06]: They can put somebody in, but they want to, they want to steal bases, they want to hit balls into the gap, they want their outfielders to look like, make it look like the ball's going to hit the ground to shatter your soul when they easily get to it and catch it.

43:23.827 --> 43:32.839
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, and they kind of go back and forth between loading up their infield really solidly and, you know, forgetting about the outfield or vice versa.

43:33.319 --> 43:35.762
[SPEAKER_06]: And I mean, this year, I was just looking at their lineup.

43:35.863 --> 43:43.152
[SPEAKER_06]: And I mean, it is an absolute, just a total mixed bag of,

43:43.132 --> 43:55.264
[SPEAKER_06]: guys you've never heard of like I don't know if I've ever seen so many on a major league roster where there's no picture attached to the guys name to the guys name, which I assume is not a good thing like that.

43:55.324 --> 43:57.786
[SPEAKER_02]: If I don't want it.

43:57.806 --> 44:01.950
[SPEAKER_05]: If it's a movie major league, it's a movie major league in real life.

44:01.970 --> 44:12.160
[SPEAKER_05]: They're going to find a way to own all of us and they won't end up moving the team like they've been threatening for how many damn years and like when

44:12.140 --> 44:13.863
[SPEAKER_05]: Now he got free agent this year.

44:13.963 --> 44:16.287
[SPEAKER_05]: They actually paid Sedric Mullins.

44:16.307 --> 44:17.609
[SPEAKER_05]: Wow, that's weird.

44:18.992 --> 44:21.896
[SPEAKER_05]: Anyways, I mean, it's probably because Disney's going to really buy the team in a year.

44:21.956 --> 44:22.738
[SPEAKER_05]: It's okay.

44:22.758 --> 44:28.127
[SPEAKER_06]: As far as I'm concerned, as long as the J. don't have to face Justin Lo for the whole year, I'll be fine.

44:28.427 --> 44:32.735
[SPEAKER_06]: Like, you know, he is an abs, he could be the biggest J killer ever.

44:32.875 --> 44:33.877
[SPEAKER_06]: And he does it to everybody.

44:33.937 --> 44:36.240
[SPEAKER_06]: Actually, he's quite a good baseball player.

44:36.261 --> 44:36.561
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

44:38.380 --> 44:38.961
[SPEAKER_05]: is what it is.

44:39.402 --> 44:43.613
[SPEAKER_05]: So our buddy Colin in the comments making the content out.

44:43.853 --> 44:46.861
[SPEAKER_05]: Unfortunately, that there won't only be one more juice box left in.

44:46.881 --> 44:54.279
[SPEAKER_05]: It's not like baseball is because traffic can't have field is the only one named after juice anymore after minute made park is no longer minute made park.

44:54.299 --> 44:56.524
[SPEAKER_06]: Thanks, Colin.

44:56.504 --> 45:24.199
[SPEAKER_05]: Always our best stats guy with all the way to you like I watched a little big league the other 90 always reminds me of he's got those stats that are like he's closed in the dome at night when he faces a picture the first time And it's his like stats stats stats that the good job calling God man, I like to like this is the thing so I'm just gonna say some things about the Yankees now That's not Yankees stadium um brought to you by I don't know what I like

45:24.753 --> 45:25.494
[SPEAKER_06]: AT&T.

45:26.135 --> 45:27.357
[SPEAKER_02]: AT&T, right?

45:27.498 --> 45:30.442
[SPEAKER_02]: And they have no bad phase of Yankee's logo.

45:30.883 --> 45:33.007
[SPEAKER_02]: They don't have dark days of logo.

45:33.327 --> 45:34.890
[SPEAKER_02]: They do stay consistent.

45:35.330 --> 45:42.462
[SPEAKER_02]: And they route their brand and their identity in something that I guess they're refused to sell out on.

45:42.763 --> 45:43.404
[SPEAKER_02]: And I like that.

45:43.644 --> 45:45.066
[SPEAKER_02]: I missed the days of the sky dome.

45:45.567 --> 45:50.355
[SPEAKER_02]: Every time I feel like the stadiums are named something different.

45:50.335 --> 46:14.875
[SPEAKER_02]: Every time like we have one here was the air Canada Center that it was something else I don't know where the Raptors play could be the belief so they play I don't know what it's called it changes over two years so anyway, so could also the Yankees for not selling out all the way You know what everyone hates on us for living in the past, but like our entire existence is rooted in

46:15.192 --> 46:18.236
[SPEAKER_00]: nostalgia and history, right?

46:18.996 --> 46:19.637
[SPEAKER_04]: It's great.

46:19.677 --> 46:29.529
[SPEAKER_00]: But one of my main points of living in Denver was I never knew what my Ohio State like it will never not be my Ohio to people who like are from there, right?

46:29.989 --> 46:33.193
[SPEAKER_00]: But every freaking other year is something different.

46:33.273 --> 46:34.354
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know what it is now.

46:35.536 --> 46:36.677
[SPEAKER_00]: So, if that.

46:37.332 --> 46:51.650
[SPEAKER_05]: So, and then in the weirdest rebranding of all time too, my national league team has always been the Milwaukee Brewers because it's been one of the weirdest things that I was like, I'm going here, I was there for work randomly, and it just only smetted that is my national league team.

46:52.090 --> 46:58.879
[SPEAKER_05]: They tailgate, like it's a football game for baseball games, 82 home games a year, and I was like, okay, I feel home being a Bills fan.

46:59.940 --> 47:05.787
[SPEAKER_05]: So in the midst of this, that has always been Miller Park since they moved from county stadium.

47:05.767 --> 47:11.655
[SPEAKER_05]: And the last few years it's been American family insurance field, basically, and it's like, oh my god, come on.

47:12.716 --> 47:14.118
[SPEAKER_05]: That was a beer ball park.

47:14.138 --> 47:19.104
[SPEAKER_05]: There's city connects literally, say, brew crew on it, and you've got a concert shift away from a beer company.

47:19.124 --> 47:21.568
[SPEAKER_05]: Come on.

47:21.588 --> 47:23.370
[SPEAKER_02]: That is a hard turn.

47:23.410 --> 47:26.714
[SPEAKER_02]: From beer to American family.

47:26.734 --> 47:27.235
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

47:28.244 --> 47:29.045
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

47:29.065 --> 47:31.248
[SPEAKER_05]: So all things crazy.

47:31.569 --> 47:35.634
[SPEAKER_05]: So I guess the bigger question is, what do we look?

47:35.654 --> 47:40.341
[SPEAKER_05]: The crystal ball looks like this season for the, you know, what's going on in the American leagues?

47:40.401 --> 47:41.883
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's just talk some bold predictions.

47:41.943 --> 47:46.489
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't care what team they're affiliated with, what you want to chip chat on.

47:46.469 --> 47:49.832
[SPEAKER_05]: Jason's going to probably know that Cedric Mullins is on the race.

47:49.852 --> 47:52.655
[SPEAKER_05]: He's going to be like, oh, NBP, he's going to be back.

47:52.675 --> 47:53.515
[SPEAKER_05]: He was a few years ago.

47:53.776 --> 47:55.877
[SPEAKER_05]: What do you have in your mind?

47:55.897 --> 48:00.642
[SPEAKER_05]: So on that note, let's just go around the table to chat some last few minutes thing here.

48:00.722 --> 48:03.164
[SPEAKER_05]: As we got about 10 minutes left on the clock.

48:03.845 --> 48:15.615
[SPEAKER_05]: And just to be this person because I haven't done that this segment will be brought to you by our friends, Jay Birdie, that our wonderful

48:15.595 --> 48:17.859
[SPEAKER_05]: clothing brand for all things Canadian baseball.

48:18.339 --> 48:21.204
[SPEAKER_05]: So, well prediction time, who wants to go first?

48:22.306 --> 48:23.367
[SPEAKER_05]: Go list.

48:23.427 --> 48:24.589
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, let's take a look.

48:24.609 --> 48:25.310
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, let's take a look.

48:25.551 --> 48:29.457
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I was on a, I think I was on an Orioles podcast or Boston podcast.

48:29.497 --> 48:30.539
[SPEAKER_02]: I was a guest in their podcast.

48:31.200 --> 48:33.343
[SPEAKER_02]: And they were talking about predicting the season.

48:33.704 --> 48:36.388
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said the jays were going to be a little bit above 500.

48:36.468 --> 48:38.872
[SPEAKER_02]: And they laughed at me.

48:39.173 --> 48:40.074
[SPEAKER_02]: No, they laughed at me.

48:40.234 --> 48:41.316
[SPEAKER_02]: How they laughed at me.

48:41.667 --> 48:45.571
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and we weren't, we were, we were great, uh, we won the division.

48:46.552 --> 48:49.896
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, and so you never know where you're going to be, uh, how things can happen.

48:49.916 --> 48:50.597
[SPEAKER_02]: That's baseball.

48:50.637 --> 48:54.581
[SPEAKER_02]: It's wild times, but, but I think this is what I think.

48:54.881 --> 48:59.046
[SPEAKER_02]: I think, uh, I'm just going to do sections of the division.

48:59.446 --> 49:01.468
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's going to be Yankee's chase top half.

49:01.528 --> 49:09.497
[SPEAKER_02]: I think in less, but in less, our friends of the Orioles get really

49:09.950 --> 49:13.215
[SPEAKER_02]: They can say at the bottom with my friends, the Red Sox.

49:13.956 --> 49:17.080
[SPEAKER_02]: But that's like, man, the season is so long, it's crambley.

49:17.441 --> 49:18.522
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't know what's going to happen.

49:18.762 --> 49:19.624
[SPEAKER_02]: Anything can happen.

49:20.825 --> 49:23.689
[SPEAKER_05]: And that's why I want to share some of this saying, random thing about it.

49:23.729 --> 49:24.891
[SPEAKER_05]: That's why it's shenanigans.

49:24.911 --> 49:28.556
[SPEAKER_05]: And then you get to come back to this like a year later and go, see, I was completely out of my mind.

49:28.636 --> 49:29.858
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, I was completely right.

49:29.878 --> 49:32.822
[SPEAKER_02]: So I will predict there will be a few games.

49:33.203 --> 49:36.107
[SPEAKER_02]: I will drink too many beers, and I will high five my friends.

49:36.407 --> 49:36.868
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's go.

49:36.848 --> 49:38.490
[SPEAKER_05]: Yep, and I'll be right there with you.

49:39.591 --> 49:41.213
[SPEAKER_06]: Hopefully I make it to a game this year.

49:41.253 --> 49:45.197
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I know it's a long long drag, but I I'd like to make it.

49:45.597 --> 49:46.578
[SPEAKER_06]: My bull prediction.

49:47.399 --> 49:53.566
[SPEAKER_06]: I feel like the division is going to play out similarly that it did to this year.

49:54.747 --> 50:00.974
[SPEAKER_06]: My hope in my very narrow little baseball mind is that it's chasing.

50:00.994 --> 50:03.296
[SPEAKER_06]: I use again, because that was about the most fun.

50:03.436 --> 50:04.257
[SPEAKER_06]: I had all year.

50:04.237 --> 50:07.081
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, just incredible baseball.

50:07.802 --> 50:32.573
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, I mean, you know, the question remains like does, does, does, does, does, does he now, like, I know there's always going to be vitroal towards red sox fans, but now does,

50:32.553 --> 50:33.574
[SPEAKER_05]: off of that.

50:33.594 --> 50:49.012
[SPEAKER_05]: They start sharing them and do like what they did for Tray Turner and Philadelphia where he was having a bad time and they're like, hey, instead of booing and why don't we turn this one around and the my bowl call is on the other side is I think it different team than a national league is going to be in the world series next year, not the Dodgers.

50:49.032 --> 50:50.955
[SPEAKER_02]: No.

50:50.975 --> 50:52.116
[SPEAKER_05]: There is a bold prediction.

50:53.378 --> 50:59.725
[SPEAKER_05]: We already got some flying around the comments section, so as we're I'm watching you and Joanna and um

50:59.975 --> 51:00.676
[SPEAKER_05]: Emma up there.

51:00.696 --> 51:02.820
[SPEAKER_05]: We got Jay's win 100 in the comments.

51:03.100 --> 51:04.643
[SPEAKER_05]: That's pretty bold.

51:04.743 --> 51:06.546
[SPEAKER_05]: Have we ever 100 wins in a season?

51:06.606 --> 51:08.569
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't think we have even in 92.

51:08.589 --> 51:09.270
[SPEAKER_05]: 93.

51:09.631 --> 51:11.895
[SPEAKER_05]: I think we won literally 92.

51:14.339 --> 51:16.903
[SPEAKER_05]: I know the Yankees have had that in a season.

51:16.883 --> 51:22.889
[SPEAKER_05]: Um, and we always got, you know, the typical Joe go j's go here and all that kind of stuff going on in the comments.

51:22.909 --> 51:23.769
[SPEAKER_05]: So appreciate y'all.

51:23.789 --> 51:26.112
[SPEAKER_05]: You got any other bowl predictions hit us up before you end this show.

51:26.212 --> 51:27.113
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know the beasties.

51:27.193 --> 51:27.813
[SPEAKER_02]: I get nervous.

51:27.853 --> 51:29.335
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's see how it takes play out man.

51:29.395 --> 51:30.776
[SPEAKER_02]: Talk to me after the ulcer break.

51:31.016 --> 51:31.657
[SPEAKER_06]: What do you think?

51:34.720 --> 51:35.300
[SPEAKER_00]: You asking me?

51:35.320 --> 51:36.341
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.

51:36.602 --> 51:37.182
[SPEAKER_06]: What do you think?

51:38.944 --> 51:46.671
[SPEAKER_00]: My prediction is that I'm going to be irrationally thrilled about the team at some point.

51:47.073 --> 51:55.845
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, me or so, and then in July, I will be like, solve the team, solve the team.

51:55.865 --> 51:56.186
[SPEAKER_00]: Every minute.

51:56.286 --> 51:57.308
[SPEAKER_00]: You listen to say.

51:57.328 --> 51:58.990
[SPEAKER_00]: That temper will be good.

51:59.010 --> 52:08.403
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's like, that's my, and that's all I got because I am not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna.

52:08.664 --> 52:09.765
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't wanna jinx it.

52:10.727 --> 52:11.307
[SPEAKER_02]: See, it's good.

52:11.648 --> 52:13.170
[SPEAKER_02]: Not gonna, that's good, it's gonna be okay.

52:13.190 --> 52:16.675
[SPEAKER_02]: I've been like last year, right at the end,

52:16.891 --> 52:18.798
[SPEAKER_02]: be terrible and this is the worst.

52:18.818 --> 52:19.621
[SPEAKER_02]: We're not going to make it.

52:19.662 --> 52:23.095
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything's off of burning all down and then we'll be glad or I was fine.

52:23.697 --> 52:25.062
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, you always are, Liz.

52:25.784 --> 52:33.211
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so just to make the goof here, I got this in the comments from our stack guy, Colin, and then about the hundred one thing.

52:33.512 --> 52:34.472
[SPEAKER_05]: And then I got the reply.

52:34.492 --> 52:35.974
[SPEAKER_05]: 99.99.

52:36.074 --> 52:38.016
[SPEAKER_05]: You missed it by.

52:38.797 --> 52:40.518
[SPEAKER_06]: See, this is the part about this job.

52:40.578 --> 52:42.320
[SPEAKER_06]: We don't have to do research anymore.

52:42.560 --> 52:44.522
[SPEAKER_06]: We just get talent to do our research.

52:44.682 --> 52:48.346
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, but that was make up wild stuff.

52:50.528 --> 52:50.628
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

52:50.648 --> 52:54.492
[SPEAKER_05]: Always back, check by our wonderful friends in the

52:55.889 --> 52:56.712
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, Liz, I see it.

52:57.073 --> 53:03.794
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, my, my, my, my, I see I'm so superstitious, like monkeys' poss shit that if we 100 games, we'll get beat out in the first round.

53:04.276 --> 53:05.701
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah, that would be our luck.

53:06.804 --> 53:08.008
[SPEAKER_05]: So I don't want to.

53:08.748 --> 53:31.474
[SPEAKER_05]: So on that note, and just for my bold prediction, I think to Jason's point, the division is gonna play out eerily similar, but somebody is gonna use Serp that third spot, and I do think for some reason, and it's the raise comments and the things we were talking about, then finally having a hole again, and not being in, you know, Steinrunner, minor league stadium out in the campus.

53:31.494 --> 53:33.156
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't give them your field, Yankees.

53:33.396 --> 53:35.319
[SPEAKER_02]: Why would you do that?

53:35.339 --> 53:36.460
[SPEAKER_02]: They're not our friends.

53:37.520 --> 53:38.961
[SPEAKER_02]: That was a lot.

53:39.121 --> 53:39.842
[SPEAKER_00]: It helped us out.

53:39.902 --> 53:45.607
[SPEAKER_00]: Like the agreement was they were supposed to be you guys a week and when the division and they didn't do their job.

53:45.627 --> 53:47.349
[SPEAKER_02]: I never did not, yeah.

53:47.549 --> 53:51.893
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah, the red socks were the only ones that really even put up a fight on that one.

53:52.794 --> 54:02.763
[SPEAKER_05]: I think we split the season of series with the red socks this past year and it was because we played them mostly early in the year when Garrett Crochet was just stricken throwing darts and everything.

54:02.823 --> 54:05.265
[SPEAKER_05]: So.

54:05.245 --> 54:26.157
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's the bold prediction for me that we're going to have some sneaky competition from the race this year because they were certain levels of a relevant and I think a lot of that was the displacement, the oddities, I mean everything that was going on with that team last year and they always have a way of raking in new top prospects to Jason's point, the pictureless wonders there on their current roster.

54:26.137 --> 54:27.740
[SPEAKER_05]: they're going to find a way to hit.

54:27.821 --> 54:32.711
[SPEAKER_05]: They're going to find a way to pitch and it's going to drive all of our fandoms completely that shit crazy.

54:35.256 --> 54:35.617
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.

54:36.599 --> 54:40.327
[SPEAKER_05]: So I guess it's shameless self promoting time.

54:40.367 --> 54:44.175
[SPEAKER_05]: I guess we got to hear all the wonders that is the babes babes media.

54:44.195 --> 54:45.377
[SPEAKER_05]: So let's

54:46.285 --> 54:47.566
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks guys, though.

54:47.607 --> 54:52.272
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no, you could follow me on Instagram, babes, babes, media, and then I'm on.

54:52.372 --> 54:54.835
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm in the comments over here, 90 Zanks Kid.

54:55.396 --> 54:56.997
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where the 64 came from.

54:57.098 --> 54:58.740
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no freaking clue.

54:59.781 --> 55:00.161
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

55:00.261 --> 55:04.446
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that was a big year for like Mantle or Maris or something, I'm honestly.

55:04.486 --> 55:05.688
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where the 64 came from.

55:05.708 --> 55:09.752
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you want to do my on Twitter on at 90 Zanks Kid?

55:12.936 --> 55:14.638
[SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

55:15.209 --> 55:15.750
[SPEAKER_02]: way to go.

55:15.790 --> 55:16.451
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's go.

55:17.192 --> 55:20.636
[SPEAKER_05]: So what's your latest work thing that you got going on for Baines Baines Media?

55:20.656 --> 55:21.197
[SPEAKER_05]: What's up, too?

55:22.378 --> 55:22.639
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

55:22.659 --> 55:24.061
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, so I didn't mention that.

55:24.101 --> 55:27.485
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm also the baseball content lead for on New Jersey sports.

55:27.605 --> 55:33.814
[SPEAKER_00]: So over there, I just covered the MLB winter meetings, which was an amazing experience.

55:34.354 --> 55:41.023
[SPEAKER_00]: Many of you will be shocked to know that I shook John Schneider's hand and congratulated him on an excellent season.

55:41.043 --> 55:43.967
[SPEAKER_00]: I can't, I don't even know where that came from.

55:55.675 --> 55:57.378
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes, it's awesome.

55:57.398 --> 55:58.439
[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm adding.

55:58.519 --> 56:05.991
[SPEAKER_00]: That's like that and we all get a little offensive of our teams, but I feel like that, you know.

56:06.752 --> 56:06.872
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

56:06.892 --> 56:08.114
[SPEAKER_02]: It was really awesome.

56:08.154 --> 56:08.574
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

56:08.935 --> 56:15.625
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you learn anything at the winter meetings at like you, like any, any goals of coming all my thing I learned which like,

56:18.203 --> 56:40.492
[SPEAKER_00]: The only thing I learned was the Don Maddingly to the Phillies thing which was like we're at the time they were in serious talks they were in serious talks that day that it was going to happen that day and then nothing happened that thing happened and I even like put a tweet out and I just looked like an idiot because people were like huh like when there was this kind of a member.

56:41.192 --> 56:43.215
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's like one later.

56:43.567 --> 56:54.859
[SPEAKER_00]: It gets announced, but that was a really kind of the only thing that the meetings not a lot happened to be honest, I'm training for like the shorter thing happened while we are there, but that was about it.

56:55.717 --> 57:05.288
[SPEAKER_05]: But that's one of those things that's on my bucket list because there's all the other things that go on about just to try to, you know, there's the baseball jobs convention, there's a lot of other people.

57:05.388 --> 57:07.411
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll be the Blue Jason Answers, always go.

57:07.451 --> 57:12.197
[SPEAKER_05]: The minor league guys included who have been on this show that we love and things like that.

57:12.257 --> 57:14.019
[SPEAKER_05]: You just probably got to your point.

57:14.459 --> 57:19.345
[SPEAKER_05]: Shake hands with people like John Schneider and Rub Alboz and Hangup have a good time just talking baseball, right?

57:19.662 --> 57:22.466
[SPEAKER_06]: One day we will be legitimate media Craig.

57:22.706 --> 57:28.874
[SPEAKER_06]: One day you and I and Liz will be legitimate media and be able to do fun stuff like that.

57:29.475 --> 57:31.277
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm still not legit.

57:31.317 --> 57:32.158
[SPEAKER_00]: Let's be honest.

57:32.759 --> 57:35.603
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow, you were a press pass.

57:35.623 --> 57:36.844
[SPEAKER_02]: You were a press pass.

57:36.864 --> 57:37.365
[SPEAKER_02]: You were ready.

57:37.465 --> 57:38.106
[SPEAKER_02]: You were there.

57:38.126 --> 57:38.686
[SPEAKER_02]: I did.

57:39.788 --> 57:39.928
[SPEAKER_05]: I did.

57:39.948 --> 57:43.012
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, meanwhile, we got to tell gay people and we'll follow them and know it's going to be okay.

57:43.052 --> 57:43.893
[SPEAKER_05]: I got to know it.

57:43.913 --> 57:45.315
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's fun with that.

57:45.633 --> 57:47.197
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll be doing that in spring training this year.

57:47.238 --> 57:48.822
[SPEAKER_05]: It's what I'm working on me too.

57:48.842 --> 57:49.845
[SPEAKER_05]: So, there you go.

57:49.865 --> 57:50.286
[SPEAKER_05]: We'll see.

57:50.888 --> 57:52.473
[SPEAKER_05]: We'll be down there, goofing around, having fun.

57:52.493 --> 57:55.541
[SPEAKER_05]: So if you find yourself down in clear water, I will be down there mid-March.

57:55.561 --> 57:57.226
[SPEAKER_05]: I will grab you there and talk to you.

57:57.266 --> 57:57.748
[SPEAKER_05]: Baseball.

57:58.510 --> 57:59.192
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

57:59.212 --> 58:01.077
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll be there at the same time.

58:01.512 --> 58:16.415
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, we could do, we could do a show, just throwing it out there where I was in Arizona at spring training and you guys were in clear water at spring training and I could like, I could set up at the dodge like the Dodgers, they're pretty good access.

58:17.197 --> 58:18.939
[SPEAKER_06]: Mariners have really good access.

58:19.039 --> 58:21.343
[SPEAKER_06]: I could walk right to the field basically.

58:21.323 --> 58:25.990
[SPEAKER_05]: Jason, I feel like you're just trying to do like this like thing where you're trying to get like the high five from like a fire going.

58:26.010 --> 58:29.795
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I'm talking.

58:29.815 --> 58:36.405
[SPEAKER_05]: So I won't want to, I won't want to, it's a beautiful time down there.

58:36.465 --> 58:38.648
[SPEAKER_05]: I've been going up the last few years.

58:38.669 --> 58:42.815
[SPEAKER_05]: I've been slacking because since COVID, it's just been crazy around here and everything like that.

58:42.915 --> 58:43.095
[SPEAKER_05]: But.

58:43.497 --> 58:48.165
[SPEAKER_05]: I had friends that lived and went to college with and everything down in the duty area, clear water area.

58:48.225 --> 58:50.509
[SPEAKER_05]: So I just would go down there and hang out with them on the spring.

58:50.549 --> 58:55.177
[SPEAKER_05]: And then in the fall, I'd go down and drink with them on a beach because nobody was there and knocked over.

58:55.979 --> 58:58.042
[SPEAKER_02]: What's choosing catchers report?

58:58.383 --> 59:00.747
[SPEAKER_02]: When is the date of the pictures and catchers reporting?

59:00.727 --> 59:01.488
[SPEAKER_05]: 33 days.

59:01.708 --> 59:03.551
[SPEAKER_05]: It was on their way to go.

59:03.671 --> 59:09.499
