"How are you? I'm fine, thanks, but Cleveland rocks. Philly, so does San Diego? LA Dodgers and the reigning champs. The Atlanta Braves are having problems. What do other things shape up for you? Well, things are heating up, Scott. Things are heating up really, really quickly. We have a new playoff format now where you have more playoff teams and historically as we talked about last week that baseball is supposed to be the sport where the best team has the best chance to win it. Now, it's a tournament. You have the 111 wind Dodgers. One game away from getting knocked out if they don't win tonight against the San Diego Padres or team that they were 22 games better than they won that division by 22 games over the Padres. And now the Padres have a chance to knock them out and go to the NLCS. You've got the braves who won a 101 games. And they're a game away from getting knocked out by Philadelphia who's not a very good team during the season they won in 87 games. They're 14 games out behind the braves. And so, you know, there is a chance that you could have three 100 win teams. In the national league and have none of them make the national league championship series, but this is what we've asked for. This is the new sport on the other hand. If you're a hundred win team and if you're a great team, the way you're supposed to be when you have that those big lofty numbers, then you can win two games in a row and you prove that you're the better team. But we really have entered a new space in baseball now where the postseason is a tournament and if you've got a 10% chance to win, it's not a guarantee anymore that all those big numbers are going to do much for you. I say this is an Aaron judge fam. He's been a little cold at the plate, hasn't he? That's a that is an understatement, Aaron judge is zero for 8 with 7 strikeouts and hit 62 home runs and everyone's expecting the big guys to show up, but it doesn't always work that way in the postseason, especially when they're concentrating on you. They're making sure that you're the guy that doesn't beat them. However, if the Yankees are gonna do anything going forward, they're another one. They won 99 games. They're not gonna do anything. If judge isn't gonna be the guy, then they're in big trouble too, and they're really up against it against Cleveland. And let's give some props as well instead of talking about the big guys. Let's talk about Terry Francona for a second. See you in cooperstown Tito. He's one of the best to ever do it and he's proving it again with this young team. And no matter what they do, he's been he's just always always got his teams ready to play. Yeah. NHL NBA are back. Even have skates this show. Well, the team, of course, we're watching this cold McCarthy and the Colorado avalanche. They hoisted their championship banner, see if they can do it again, of course. We say this all the time, Scott, the Toronto Maple Leafs, is this gonna be their year for the leafs, the leafs have not been to the Stanley Cup championship round since 1967 in one of the great hockey capitals of the world. So is this the year for the Maple Leafs? You're asking me? I'm asking. I'm asking the universe. I'm all right. I'm a habs fan myself. But you know, but that's a question that obviously is going to hang all season, isn't it? It is. Yeah, I'm also a hawks fan and dark times on that ice.

A federal judge has ruled the U.S. government isn't doing enough to protect a rare and declining species of whale. I'm Ben Thomas with details. North Atlantic right whale number less than 340. Once numerous, they were decimated during the commercial whaling era and recent years have seen their population decline rapidly. Friday, a federal judge ruled the government is violating both the endangered species act and the marine mammal protection act by failing to protect the right whale from lethal entanglement in lobster fishing gear. The judge writes the ruling does not suggest the government must immediately shutter the American lobster fishery, but it does need to come up with new rules to protect the right whale from extinction, right whales give birth off Florida and Georgia and come north to the waters of New England and Canada to feed. Scientists say warming ocean temperatures are causing them to stray from protected areas in search of food, leaving them more vulnerable to entanglement and the lethal collisions with ships.

"It could be worse than what I'm saying. And to be clear, real differentiation to be made, lions to be drawn, barriers to be erected between running around the ballpark outside and being in the press box inside. I think that those are those are different states of being one might say. Yes. And in another follow-up to our most recent episode where we talked about another pressing issue, which is how many baseball players can juggle and how proficient at juggling are they. We also got a number of tweets and emails from people who were responding to eugenio Suarez of the Mariners, sort of juggling, juggling with his feet right after we talked about that. Isn't this just playing hacky sack with a baseball band? Yeah, he's playing hacky sack. He's maybe in soccer. Oh, this is a soccer thing. Okay, so I'm now, which I think is very amusing. Upbeat. Keep it upbeat. Look. I'm not here to judge other sports because a good deal of this podcast is remarking on the bizarre nature of some baseball traditions. The funk, the weirdness, but keeping up B I'm just saying you guys want to like have your sport taken seriously as like a mainstay of the American sporting landscape and you're doing keep you up he has a serious turn. I don't know, that might be that might be what's getting in the way of MLS like really ascending is keepy upy. It sounds like the first draft, you know? What could we call this? Well, keeping it up, keep you upy. Yeah, let's just go with that. I guess it's also called keep ups or kick ups. Sometimes anyway, that's what he was doing here as far as he's from Venezuela. I'm sure he has some soccer player passed and it showed here. And yeah, he was at the plate and he ended up juggling a bow with his feet very casually and pretty athletically and impressively. Anyway, I saw on the baseball subreddit thread about this. There were a few people who pointed out the effectively wild connection. Oh, good. Someone said, this dude listened to effectively wild today and saw his chance. Yeah. But yeah, we were not talking about that kind of juggling specifically. We were talking about the kind where you use your hands, which you are specifically prohibited from doing in soccer, but this was a form of juggling and it was a pretty impressive display and if Suarez can do it that readily with his feet, then I imagine that there are many baseball players who can do it with their hands. Yes, I think that that is right. Is hacky sack? Do people still hacky sack? Is that a thing that people still do? Or is this one of those? Is it not like pogs where young people are like, what is that? What is a pog? I don't know if it's that localized to an era and a region. I really couldn't tell you the rise and fall of hacky sack if it has fallen. I'm sure that if one were to walk across a college quad, one might still see hacky sack occurring these days. Yeah, I guess that that could be true. I guess that that could be true. It's been a while since we've been on a college. Yeah. So I have some to share. We may meet some major leaguers. I guess a couple more baseball related topics than juggling with your feet and opossums with rabies, although that matters. There were ten U.S. baseball connections there. Just a couple of things. Did you see Tony La Russa's explanation for why he was batting Andrew von 9th for the White Sox on Wednesday? This was interesting. You're already oh boy. On the one hand, I'm saying, oh boy, 'cause, you know, this feels like it has strong oh boy potential. Your telegraphing, oh boy. But on the other hand, I just contemplated the rise and fall of hacky sack. And that made me feel old and I have a feeling this is about to make me feel young. Yeah, now we're going to get emails about the popularity of hacky sacks. As opposed to previous errors. Yeah. It's okay. We like to learn. We do. But Andrew Ron has been one of the better White Sox hitters this year, even though he missed a little time and was playing through a little bit of a nagging injury. He has a one 31 WRC plus so far this season. And the White Sox offense has surprisingly not been their strong suit this season. We've talked a little bit about the white sex disappointing start to the year and a lot of that is offense. There are 27th in run scored, sandwiched between the royals and the Orioles, not where you want to be, not where I would have expected them to be. They're 24th in WRC plus, entering Thursday's games again, just to between the Red Sox and the royals, Red Sox also not where you would expect them to be offensively, but things have not been going great for the White Sox on offense. And just in general, partly because of injury, partly because of underperformance. But Tony Russo has shaken things up a little bit when it comes to the lineup. Anyway, Andrew von, again, one of their better hitters, he was batting 9th on Wednesday and la Russa explained if you'll remember the times we had a position player 9th in the national league was all because of this. The second leadoff hitter is a reality in the American League. He hits right in front of your best hitters, so if you've got a guy hitting two 52 75 and 300, a lot of managers, including myself, hit the 300 guy 9th. A lot of managers. I think that's not true. Yeah, first of all, they're barely our 300 guys in this day and age, but I doubt that many of them would be batting night that many managers would make that choice. Yeah. Lewis has said he isn't the 9th best hitter on our team, but it definitely deepens our lineup. And so he is talking about when in the national league and he was a proponent or pioneer of this strategy, which I wrote about back at Greenland, but often during the pre universal DH era, you would have your pitcher bat 8th maybe, and then you'd have a real hitter bat 9th, and the idea was that, well, you don't want just an automatic out coming up before the top of your lineup. You want to have someone on base before your best tutors come up. And there is some justification to that. Again, as with all batting order stuff, it barely matters, you know, you're talking about a matter of a few runs over the course of a season, generally with any of these decisions, or at least with any reasonable decisions that you would generally see managers make, perhaps, unlike that interval night. So the principle that Lewis is talking about here, there is some justification for that. But I think he's misapplying it here or taking it way too far, and I saw Tom tango way in about this. Of course, it's one of the co authors of the book. He did a lot of the foundational batting order analysis, and he wrote on Twitter while it is somewhat true. You don't want your worst hitter batting 9th. The most you can say is to put your second or maybe third worst better 9th. Certainly, not anyone in your top 6. The second leadoff theory can only be pushed so far. So you want someone who is not necessarily going to make an out so that when you're good hitters come up, they could have someone on base ahead of them, but you also don't want to cost one of your best hitters, played appearances because when they're batting night, they're going to get a lot fewer plate appearances than if they were batting at the top of the lineup, so this seems to be shooting himself in his team in the foot here based on maybe a misunderstanding or over application of a principle that he has applied in the past and I don't know if this is emblematic of the game kind of passing TLR by or the fact that he actually was kind of a cutting edge managerial thinker. Decades ago, but the times have changed and maybe he hasn't completely caught up with them..

"However, and I think that's the honor she's okay. On the outfield, I don't think he's the worst outfield I've ever seen, but I mean, this team is not good defensively and to lose, you know, basically one of two or three average or better defenders, I think that's raises a red flag with the Phillies again. I mean, you know, this is a team that's gonna have trouble defending and, you know, I mean, obviously real Muto is very good, but you know, defensively, they're not going to be good. And I do think they're starting pitching is really good. They're hitting as good. They should be better than 500 right now they're hovering there. But they've been around 500 forever. It just feels like they're always underachieving. And you know, there's a little pressure on Girardi, I would say at this point because they better be over 5 with all the money they spent and well, and they spent it well. Harper's got a really good Wheeler's been good. Castellanos and schwarber just got there, but doing what you would expect them to do. You know, I think there's pressure on Girardi. They better at least they don't make the playoffs. They better get close. And by close, I mean, even closer than last year. Yeah, no, listen. It's really team is extremely talented. Defensively, they lack. And it just seems like, you know, as you said, the big pieces are all working just fine. It seems to be kind of the glue pieces that haven't quite come together. It'll be interesting to see if the defense will cost them in a big way. Because certainly, it's interesting. I can't believe that we can even say that. I never thought there would be a time where we would say Bryce Harper is underrated. But he is underrated. I mean, we've seen him since the time he came into the league. You wouldn't have been able to tell me that early on, but his value, he just, he's become very consistent. You know what you're going to get from Bryce. And I always feel like that's like the ultimate thing, a team once. Let's talk a little bit about and you know, I hate doing the MVP talk here in Maine, but you know, it's kind of what we got to do. In American League, I mean, actually, I don't think there is anybody close to my man Manny Machado right now. I think he would be if there was an MVP right now. He'd be at the top of the list. And listen, Otani's having another phenomenal season. His teammate is also having a good season as well. I mean, how do you see that right now? The MVP talk. First, I'll say in the national league, I'm with you, Machado is clearly the leader at this point. He's been the best of anybody in baseball, offensively defensively, everything. Great story in the times about I didn't realize he was a man. Well, yeah. Jeff Miller some reps there, give him a very nice story, but he's clearly the leader. I will say, I mean Arenado. It's turned his game around and is awful. This year, we talked about Harper as well. It is interesting that the big names have really come to the fore. I do kind of think that the deadening of the ball has made it so that not everybody's hitting the home runs now. How about that John players are the great players. So I think that's positive. What do you think about that? I think that's one of the positives that, you know, you guys now have roles united place hitter who's sometimes second baseman. It's not going to pop one out opposite way now. You know, it's the stars that teams are going to depend on. Listen, I like it. I think that's a positive. One negative, but I think people around baseball will say is it's made the Yankees even better because, you know, we got judge and Stanton, you know, their 450 foot shots are now four 25. They still go out, whereas, you know, you have your average player, which is 400. It's now three 80 it's an iffy whether it goes out. So that's the number one reason why the Yankees are so much better than certainly that I thought, but a lot of people. In terms of the Yankees and we'll get to the Yankees here in a second. It is a piece of that, but let's not forget that judge and statin have been healthy all season long so far. That is also a reason why those two guys, they're swinging the bat so well, consistently. Not in and out of the lineup. In growing companies, there's two kinds of CFOs. The one.

"With Tony gwyn junior John hayman and Cody decker. John, we got a few house cleaning notes to talk about. I'm sure you saw the pirates get no hit and still find a way to win a game against the red yesterday. It just seems like the reds, they just seems like they are destined to struggle all season long. Poor reds. They find a way, you know, almost every day. It's really unreal. We were not expecting this. I mean, I thought they would, you know, we know they had the fire sample, but we thought they'd be better than the pirates and the Orioles and a few other teams, but they are clearly the worst team right now. Yeah, and in their defense, they've actually 6 in four in their last ten games. So they played better, but this is as tough. I think this is the worst way you could possibly lose a game. Hunter Greene goes out pitches the best, at least game of his short career so far. And gives up nothing, along with the rest of the staff and they still find a way to lose the game. The other big news John is Albert Pujols. I never thought in my lifetime. I would ever have said this, but Albert Pujols pitched in a game last night in a blowout win over the Giants last night. That was pretty crazy to see. Well, it was certainly entertaining. So I give the Cardinals credit for entertainment value. I thought it was interesting on the broadcast. They mentioned that the new manager who's younger than toolson obviously Wainwright and Molina as well, Ali mormo. In staying in his house. And you know, I think at this point he probably had to do whatever fools told him to do anyway. But, you know, if you're renting the house and getting a good deal for pools, probably which is not a slum house. It's probably a very nice house. I'm guessing, I don't know. You know, you probably have to you probably have to do it every Saturday. And he wanted a pitch, so, you know, should be okay. We've seen this happen before. The only time that it really didn't work out was when they can take our pitch for the Red Sox and hurt himself. Which is good, which is what we're in the business of. Yeah. We definitely are. He also put himself on a very short list. Him and Babe Ruth of guys with 600 home runs and have pitched in a game. He just continues to go along. Let's get into some Babe Ruth was a little bit better at the pitching. Yeah, yeah, no, I think that's I think that's safe to say. We're safe to say. Let's get into some real baseball stuff. Nash, let's start with the national league. Obviously the mets are setting the pace in the national league east. However, they did lose their first series of the year to the Seattle Mariners. Mariners hadn't been playing at welcoming in, but they take two or three from the mets, a little bit of eye opening. Yeah, good for the Mariners. I mean, I had them as a playoff team. I'm not feeling too confident about that. I did go to two of those three games and, you know, I was very impressed by Kirby, the young pitcher from rye New York looks very good. In fact, I know that some of the mets people thought that was going to be the toughest game, and that was the actual game that they did win. So, you know, baseball not very predictable. I also ran into Steve Cohen the owner of the team and, you know, just making polite conversation. I noted him as before the game that they'd want every day, and that lost a series yet. And you know, when his answer was predictably, he said, I'd like to sweep on one of these days. So he wants to. That's what bosses are like. You know, but he's been terrific. I mean, he's been a terrific owner for the players. They love him. The media obviously he's out there on Twitter and certainly I'm sure that the front office has got to love him too with that $290 million savings over that two 90 million. That's the magic bark. Some people have them at two 91. Some people say two 86, but I have a feeling when they get to that trade deadline and they start loading up some more players. They're going to fly past that two 90. That's hard. It's hard, it's hard to see this roster that's already super talented adding more talent. But you just know, by the way, Steve Cohen talks, they're going to add talent. If they need to have a break, the other thing you said you were at two of the three games. Tell me, tell us a little bit about the whole Jesse winker and his relationship with the fans. Well, you know, you go through this about met's fans. They're interested, you know, I had even forgotten. This was three years ago. When winker had hit a big home run, he made a nice sliding catch and I guess the Met fans were giving him some grief and he kind of gave him a sarcastic wave. You know, three years ago, they did not forget he's getting like the Pete Rose treatment. I mean, we're not talking about Pete Rose here. You know, we're talking about a, you know, a regular guy who did not beat up their shortstop or he didn't take any swing at Lindor as rose did with bud harrelson. You know, it's quite something to see the amount of booing this poor guy is gay, but you know what he said he loved it. So it's good he's got the personality. He does. We need that's baseball needs. They need these type of back and forth. And it's within, you know, the boundaries. Nobody's going, you know, beyond it, and it's fun for everybody to kind of see JC weaker certainly has the right mindset for it. The personality is a great thing. We saw that with that. If you watch the game last night, Harrison Bader miked up. That's a guy with a personality. Now, and he's certainly a very confident young man. He was kind of disputing with Tim kirchen said that he had said that he has the best bling in the game. He said he was the best dressed. He was a, it was a minor distinction, but in any case, you know, he's out there and he also even said that he's won some gold gloves now. It's time that he went to silver slugger. He did mention he's got a ways to go before we get this silver slugger. So he knows where he stands, but I like to see that kind of personality kind of out there guy. I love the confidence that he rightfully so. My man can, in my opinion, the best defensive center Fielder in basement. Wow, we got some good ones. He can go get it for sure. Thrillist, interesting team. They're keeping it at 5 and a half, they're chasing the mets right now. All of a sudden, they're bad to have started to heat up. They did it in a huge way, almost sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in LA. This is how good this Philly team is going right now. But Bryce Harper is not playing now Phil. He's probably going to have to be DH the rest of the year. UCL a torn UCL, how are they going to manage this I personally don't think this is that big a deal as long as you have somebody that can defensively play in right? Because I think it would be a bigger deal if you lost his bet. But it seems like he can swing pretty fine. It's all I'm swinging bat very well in that Dodgers series. I mean, how are they going to manage this? Yeah, I mean, you're absolutely right. The reason he got the $330 million contract is generally because of the bad. I mean, it's pretty decent outfielder, but $30 million for that. So that's clearly where the value is with Bryce Harper, but and they're hitting as outstanding as we expected it to be. I mean, because the schwarber terrific hitters as well, who they just picked up for a combined 179 million Harper already has two MVPs, not even 30 years old. He's been famous since he's 15 and he went from, I think kind of maybe saving at least over publicized, maybe not overrated. I don't want to say that but over publicized. It took almost underrated at this point at least the league title at home runs title league league in doubles, and naturally, if you have those two coverage, you lead the league in extra base hits again, so we led the league last year. I mean, he's one of the best hitters in the game. So it's great that he can still hit..

He was a steady hand of the Giants bullpen more from like the 2014 to 2018 era. But here he is in Milwaukee's bullpen, and this is available. A spot is available on the 40 Man roster because of the injury to Travis Shaw, who was moved to the 60 Day injured list. So welcome to the Milwaukee Brewers. Hunter Strickland. But you see him in a game tonight. I'll tell you who you're not going to see. That's Josh hater. He's pitched in three straight games each of the games against Pittsburgh so not likely That hater will be available tonight for Craig Counsell in this series against threats, all right, It's a very important day. Greg Hill producing the program. Do you know what day today is? Today is flag day. That is right. Well done. You are a patriot. You are a fine American Greg Hill. Do you know why Flight day is such an important day in the baseball calendar? Why is that you don't you don't even want to take a guess I'll take a guess It's probably your line that baseball season has quotes Began. Well, okay. Yes, I don't know if that's the correct grammar, but I think we're knocking on the door here. Close in. Many like to look at Mother's Day is a first check in on the standings. Right. There's always a day where you look at the season and say, Yeah, it's early, and then there's sort of a switch or a date where it's Yeah, it's no longer early. You kind of know who the team is. And while many look at Mother's Day I like a little more of a sample size. I like that West Coast trip. I like a little more interleague play. I like all that mixed in other brewers have, uh, mixed in games against each division in the National League. They've had a little tasting. Of interleague play, and they've had a number of games against the division as you might imagine, So I like to look at flying day as the first check in day. Now I look at the standings. Now I look at who's positioning themselves to be active or on the trade deadline. You start doing that around Mother's Day. Yeah, Too many teams involved too many teams in the mix too many good players not performing yet or too many players who have outperformed expectations and have yet to come back to Earth. Flag. Dane. Things have sort of stabilized. Can you look at the brewers and say I know who the Brewers are? They're a team with outstanding pitching with aces. I'm really three, maybe four All stars and their pitching staff. And occasional hitting that appears to be moving in the right direction. I can say that with a high degree of certainty on Flag Day Mother's Day. I'm looking at the pitching, not feeling good about the offense at all. Today, I feel better about the offense. But as I start to look at things from a trade deadline's line standpoint, there was enough of a sample size for me to look at it and say, Yeah, the Brewers could probably use a little bit of help. Corner infield makes a little bit of sense to me. Outfield still seems to be okay, assuming Lorenzo Cain comes back for the second half of the season. Pitching his donkey strong, but you can always use another armed. I certainly wouldn't be mad at the Brewers found another back end bullpen piece, The 7th 8th inning guy. That doesn't hurt. Remember. They traded away a couple of those guys about a month ago. So Flag day Greg Hill use Flag Day as your representative day for assessing where teams across the major league baseball landscape are in the standings. Who's for real? Or for Ils, as I know, you like to say. Who is not, who is a pretender. Can look at things right now and say that in the National League, the Brewers and Cubs are starting to separate from the rest of the division. The Cardinals have fallen on their face losing nine of the last 10. The Reds have caught a bit of a groove here. They won 8 to 10 only derailed momentarily by the Brewers about a week ago. The pirate Sorry rebuilding team, So there's your NL Central snapshot. I can say comfortably on flag day. Mother's Day would have been too early. In the West. Would you have thought the Giants would be the first team in the National League? 2 40 wins? Yeah, Here we go. 40 and 25. They are leading the Dodgers and Padres. Although both teams are right on their heels. They have separated very clearly from the Rockies and the lowly Diamondbacks and in the East. I know a team is going to have to win that division. I assume they'll be above 500. But right now it's not a great division. It is the bottom feeder division. If you're lining all them up in the National League, so let's look at flag day going forward, shall we? Let's assess contenders and pretenders on Flag Day, not Mother's Day. We don't have to wait to the All Star break because now is the time where you start positioning yourself or at least aligning your thoughts and dreams. When it comes to the trade deadline. You start assessing who might be a buyer and who might be a seller. Flag day, Ladies and gentlemen. Flag Day, a critical day on baseball's calendar that you did not know about coming up next. The sound you need to hear from Craig Counsell. Entering tonight's game will give you the lineup as well.

It is coming back in a way, if you remember if you have followed along through everything that's happened. And this in this world we live in sometimes two areas kind of collide and with the end game video and Major League baseball It was a case of covert protocols and the reaction to the Astros cheating scandal colliding when they closed down all the video rooms because you already had the scandal and Major league Baseball was trying to make sure that there was no funny business going on with the video, and then you don't want people congregating in these video rooms together. When you got Cove it going strong. So last year, there was no in game video. When hitters got done with that bats. There was no way for them to go Look at the video, and you might not think it's a big deal and kind on the surface level. I understand what people don't think It's a big deal. Let me tell you That's a big deal. It's a really big deal. Ah lot of hitters and major League baseball heavily rely on the end game video and it was not coming to them during during the season this past year and Often ill. I've said this statistic nine million times since the season ended, the Brewers just had their worst season hitting ever worst season ever worst team batting average ever. And they were second in the National League Central in here. It is. It is one of the most astounding statistics that I've ever seen in my years of being around baseball, and there are a lot of reasons that that's true. But one of those reasons, absolutely, was the not having video anymore. In game video going to be back in a way, although video rooms will not be back.

You could name drop here is the biggest celebrity you've seen while you've been Out about town. Um, you know, we actually did a silvery softball game. Uh, the last couple of years to start our charity south with a strong so we have some pretty cool celebrities after that. Charlie Sheen without their Jamie Foxx had him so often people. Adam Sandler came out, so it's pretty cool to have those guys out there for that, Um, they they live around the area so you can see them occasionally. Let's talk about your offseason. Little bit. You talked about spending time with the family. The kids, I'm sure they keep you busy. What? What is the off season? Like for you? I know you're a guy that likes to get out. Get the line in the water a little bit. Do some fishing. Are you doing much of that? Yeah, not not really. Haven't been able to go to get on the water, actually at all. Um, but I've been playing a little bit of gold. Um, you know, I got I got three kids now, So they take up a lot of my time, I'd have it. It's fun being able to be at home and that's all of it. And especially when I'm leaving so soon to go to spring training, and I'm going to see them hardly at all. For the next couple of months ago, I spent much time the service possible. What type of off season do you normally have? Some guys start hitting early? Some don't hit until very, very late. How long have you been hitting? What's your regimen? Yeah, I don't. I'm one of you guys. It doesn't doesn't hit till a little later on during the off season. Um, just because when I get camp I hit so much and I'm I'm in a cage for early work and post work and all that stuff so I just try and get my get my body ready. So when I do get the spring training that everything feels good, everything, eyes working the right way. And then when I get to spring training, it's time to go. But I've started hitting now for about a week or two and just just lives getting getting getting ready to go. Oh, you girl you for this upcoming season? I mean, you look at last year certainly got got the seem to the postseason. Certainly didn't have the outcome that you guys wanted on. I feel like when you look at the numbers of this team offensively, there was certainly some room for improvement. There s so how much how eager does that make you for this season? Yeah, absolutely eager. Um, you know, we have a great team had a great team last year. Um, and like, he said, you know, we offensively we could have done, uh, done a lot better than we did. Um, but again, we made the postseason. We did what we had to do to get there. On then when we got there just weren't warning of the score any runs. Our pitching staff did a phenomenal job, but we just just didn't score any runs. So looking back on it now is a learning experience for us and We'll take what happened last year and using moving forward, and I think we're gonna be better off for for it with what happened last year. Throughout my experience playing sports covering sports, I chip on the shoulder is not a bad thing. Do you think that you guys might have a chip on your shoulder? Um, um, A good one. Good one. I could Offense. You know, the last couple of games kind of left left a bad taste in our mouth and we want to go out there and, um, you know, show show what we're able to do, Especially offensively and throughout the season Now we don't have the best offensive beers. But again, our pitching staff did a phenomenal job keeping us in those games and eventually getting us into the postseason, So I think it's an offense. We want to go out there and show what we're capable of doing. And I think we're gonna be just fine. When we get out there you talked about. It was a learning experience from an offensive perspective for this team. What kind of things did you feel like this team learned about itself off offensively because it certainly felt like You guys did a little better job toward the end of the season of producing runs and may be taking advantage of some opportunities that perhaps you didn't earlier in the season? No, that's you're exactly right. You know, we did a lot better job of, you know, producing in manufacturing runs. Not just relying on Leon hitting home runs, which is kind of a trap We fell into early in the season. Uh uh. You know that's something Obviously we have a bunch of power up and down the lineup, but we got to be able to score runs in other ways, and I think you did a better job of that. And you know, going into spring training. I think as an offense that's going to be a focus of ours. Just You'll find wait..

"If you can see players play so the Giants this week and I guess it's not finalize this recording on Thursday morning, and it is the corpse and Crowley podcast by the way on candy are one of 456 80 dot com. But the the Giants apparently had reached there are reaching an agreement or in conversations trying to sign. Ah, pretty good player, and it'll be the longest deal that far out. Assigned anyone to in his tenure is Giants president of baseball Ops and its atomic Estella, the former Oakland A. The former and I'm Angel. What do you know about this? One of the details of this and what do you think of the movie Carrie not just the longest deal. But according to Susan Slusser, with Sam Prescott Chronicle, who just put this out on Thursday morning could be the biggest deal the Giants have given out under far, anxiety, is she Saying it's in the neighborhood of 19 million. I had heard really close to what jerks and pro far got from the San Diego Padres, which was three years 21 million. And so right around that three years 20 million years, beginning gaining 6.5 7 million average annual value, which to me? Eyes a little bit surprising because the Giants don't like to make long term commitments. This is going to be the first player that they've really said you were going to be a part of the future when we think that we can win again, and I think that Tommy lost. Ella is not just a winning 2020 22 or 2023 move. It's also a hey, Let's see what we can do in 2021. Let's see if you know the Padres of the Dodgers get Severe injuries or something chaotic happens where there's issues with them where the Giants are all of a sudden challenging for the second wild card spot because the NL East is going to be tough. There's gonna be teams that emerge from there, but you look at this light up and timing was selling. Let's assume he hits leadoff for the Giants against right handed pitchers. You remember lineup that has Mikey Stransky, Brandon Belt Alex Dickerson, Tommy let Stella and Brandon Crawford probably hitting down in the seventh or a slot. That's gonna be really good. That's gonna be a really, really tough light up on these pictures in the National League. And so the patients the plate discipline the amount of balls that are in play with these guys. It's just a group that kind of syncs up really well, so he was always going to be the most obvious edition. And I think that it's no surprise to anyone who follows the Giants, whose followed far anxieties tenure that he was the guy they ultimately settled on for their left handed back. Yeah, I think the question for me is where he fits in beyond this season, and it's not that he doesn't fit in. It's so many players are coming off the roster after this year. You and I have talked about Brandon Belt a free agent Brandon Crawford's offer. Basically, if you run through the Giants roster. What's so funny is the only guys they're actually committed to a fate. Decide not to bring back Buster Posey, your pick up that option if they decide not to bring back Johnny Cueto. It's like a few relief pitchers. It's Evan Longoria over there. Third base. You got some arbitration, guys. You Stransky and Alex Dickerson, our guys you're gonna have to deal with arbitration lives. But like Donovan, Solano free agent after this year's It's a guy you say See you later to do you say the same to Wilmer Flores? Who's got? Is it a team option? I think team options for three million. I mean, that is a bargain for Wilmer deals. Yeah, exactly like he would be making way more if he was still arbitration eligible, so But you're right. Also look at the pitching staff. The rotation Gosman Cueto de Sclafani. Alex would who just signed one year three million who's gonna be back next year? Who's going to be wearing the orange, black and 2022? Because we have no genuine concept? A clue of what that roster is gonna look like? So they haven't locked themselves into basically anything, and I just what's What's a little worrisome is like I look at the free agent market next off season and there are it's going to be one of the best, and I assume that some of these guys are going to get extensions. It's going to be one of the best free agent classes of all time. I think when you talk about young Thomas greatness is a free agent. Corey Seager is a free agent Nolan era. Nada has an opt out. Trevor Story's going to be a free agent. Not just a whole lot of great short stops and infielders and power bats and young guys coming up. But a lot of guys in the NL West that could either shuffle within the division or move outside of the division that could really have an impact on what happens with the powers that be as far as the Padres and the Dodgers go, so I'm also wondering like, Do you think the Giants and I assume they have looked at a couple of these guys and said, Like Corey Seager's Our number one option, you can pull him from the Dodgers. Or whatever, but also you're gonna have to fill out of rotation of five guys. You have no pictures under contract as far as the rotation goes beyond this season, so first off the guy who stands out to me, Picture wise Lance McCullers Junior because he's got that sensational curveball. Everything about his analytics profile screams. The San Francisco Giants like he is going to work with Brian Banister. I've already put Lance McCullers and a giant uniform for 2022. Because I'm not confident that they're gonna have interest in him is just totally unrestricted free agent. I believe I believe so. I believe so I have to go back and check because there is some arbitration stuff that makes someone unclear, But he was on my list of guys who's like when he comes up when the time comes, put him in a Giants uniform because it makes too much sense. But you go back to the shortstop conversation. Obviously, this is the last year Brandon Crawford. In a giant uniform. We know far anxiety loves Corey Seager. We know he loves left handed hitters at premium positions that power can play it Oracle Park. We have seen it time and time again. The guy has popped balls into the arcade throughout his career. It has not hindered him hitting it. Oracle Park him or Trevor story. You were weakening an opponent within your own division by going out inside in one of those guys. I just think that if the Giants going to target signing someone from this massive free agent class, those two are the guys who make the biggest difference and have the track record of performance in Oracle Park that would make them so fun, just foundational pieces for that extra and score. It is super tantalizing to think about, like one or two big free agent because I imagine like next offseason. This is where Scott Harrison Farhaan. They get the shopping. Clark. They start walking around like, Who do we want? It doesn't have to be bargain bin guys. Maybe you could get Kevin Gossman assigned extension at the end of this year or near the and based on what he does. Maybe Alex Wood is a guy who starts to see the young players coming up and thinks this is somewhere I want to be. I buy into the system I buy into Farhaan, which is Effectively. What he said when he signed his deal because we're going to start to see these young guys this year..
