[SPEAKER_00]: Three, six, we on this, so true.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, welcome to Birdland.
[SPEAKER_03]: Ladies and gentlemen boys and girls bottom more sports fans of all ages welcome to section three three six Welcome, it's been a while It's been a couple of weeks remember week for for at least ten years We would start and tell people all the time.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, we've never missed a week
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: But now what life gets in the way?
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you attribute this our latest sporadic podcast do?
[SPEAKER_03]: The the Orioles struggles, the rise in ticket prices, school nights and traffic and dangers in the city of Baltimore?
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you what's the blame here?
[SPEAKER_02]: What's the blame from 326?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think um little league.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, pretty much.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's your little
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Salas has he plays twice a week and like the games now are 730 is when the game starts.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so the end at about like 845 or 9 and so we don't get home till after 9.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I think your busy with school being in session and preparing classes, my thing is I end up podcasting all day during the day that like I don't feel like podcasting at night.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're a little podcast out a little podcast out, but I want I want to do 3336.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's why we snuck in it in daytime a few times there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think that that's on your end.
[SPEAKER_03]: And on my end, the work stuff too, there's a transition happening at the college level that I'm experiencing first hand where I'm teaching more and more in the evenings and meeting with students more and more in the evenings.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is that a college transition that colleges are starting to offer more evening classes?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, because the deal is, um, for a couple of reasons, one is we're attracting a lot more now, working adults who especially put up education, who would another tracks that and now they want to get into teaching and okay, families, they have jobs and now they get so we're dealing with that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pop.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pop.
[UNKNOWN]: Pop.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pop.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pop.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pop.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pop.
[SPEAKER_03]: Pop.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pop.
[UNKNOWN]: Pop
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we haven't actually expanded outside of like all my students are Georgia, like we haven't expanded outside of Georgia.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so there's all, but they're but like the goals.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, but, but I think part of your problem Josh is, yes, 336 used to be the only space in area for you to air out some of your opinions.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, totally.
[SPEAKER_03]: And now you have the Michael Marisho.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a way you can air out your opinions.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it, this podcast become less important for you.
[SPEAKER_02]: It may hit me and part of it is that it's Orioles off season and Orioles off season.
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of times for us when we weren't doing
[SPEAKER_02]: Football talk shows three thirty six has become off season like let's talk about what's going on in our lives and you're right I have the micomercial now every day.
[SPEAKER_02]: I do five episodes of that a week then maybe an extra which is six and I do Hicks next which is seven podcasts.
[SPEAKER_02]: I could be doing a week Plus there's other podcasts.
[SPEAKER_02]: I produce that I'm not on the air with but you're right that It's much easier to go and complain over there about some frustrating thing in my life
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm going to be even more reliant on you.
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like for this for the or my or else talking discussion, because I think I shared this with you a few weeks ago.
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe a month ago now.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've completely unplugged from social media and stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: I still have.
[SPEAKER_03]: I still go on Facebook on my laptop.
[SPEAKER_03]: I log in to Facebook.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I scroll my sister and stuff, give it to the vets.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I literally haven't been on Twitter or Instagram in weeks.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't even, and that was my main Twitter was my main way to say, okay, what are real fans thinking?
[SPEAKER_03]: I've been unplugged from that for a while.
[SPEAKER_03]: So even when the new hire will get to, and some of the action around the world, I have no idea what people are thinking and I'm talking about.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm curious to get your tips on some of this stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'll be great.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm excited.
[SPEAKER_02]: How is things with Little League?
[SPEAKER_02]: People love the little league talk.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, things are really good.
[SPEAKER_03]: I shared with you, Josh, and we haven't been on since this happened.
[SPEAKER_03]: But two weekends ago, Silas hit his first home run over the fence.
[SPEAKER_02]: I took the video to the Michael mayor show and shared because I was so excited for silence.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was amazing.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was pretty wild.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, he's eight.
[SPEAKER_03]: You just don't have eight year olds hit the ball over the fence very often.
[SPEAKER_03]: But it was also like, silence is a big kid.
[SPEAKER_03]: And a lot of power, you know, this age, the biggest kids can hit them all the further.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just, you know, he has the biggest bat.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's, you know, so just.
[SPEAKER_03]: But every time we play at one of these, these travel ball fields,
[SPEAKER_03]: where the fences are pushed in a little bit.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like they're not defensive.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it was 150 feet to write in the field.
[SPEAKER_03]: But he's eight.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's eight.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, yeah, he was the only person that's teamed up at home around.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's no one else in this, in this.
[SPEAKER_03]: And Gordon, that was that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And let's be hit around.
[SPEAKER_02]: That fence, he hit that dead center.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he hit it 20 feet past the fence.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And
[SPEAKER_03]: But there's always been pressure on Salis because they know he's the only one that really has a shot.
[SPEAKER_03]: So they're always like, Salis, you got to humor us out.
[SPEAKER_03]: So there's always been like, oh, stretch your goto.
[SPEAKER_03]: Salis, every time we play, they're like, if someone's going to humor, it's got to be you, Salis.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can hit him run.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so he hears this all the time.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's finally did.
[SPEAKER_03]: He finally hit him run.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I showed you the video of how I've had celebrating.
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't show you in the dugout.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like he was emotional.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, I got it.
[SPEAKER_03]: But just because, I mean, it has to be an amazing feeling.
[SPEAKER_03]: You did this thing that people knew you could do, but I don't know if he knew he could do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: I never hit a home run over the fence until I was like, dirty, maybe.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I told him.
[SPEAKER_02]: I said, I was 33, I think.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think I was 33.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I was definitely first shot like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was in my 30s.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I definitely was in my 30s for like, first I over the fan some run.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, and for, and for me for, from the doubt perspective, it was so funny because, I mean, every dad on the team ran up to me and like, slap him in the back and he had to do something.
[SPEAKER_03]: We had to go like, I hit the home run.
[SPEAKER_03]: I yeah, one dad came running from the outfield like a full-on sprint waving his hand in the air.
[SPEAKER_03]: He had the ball.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so he gave me the home run ball.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's awesome.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad you got the ball.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah and so it was just it was just a really fun cool event.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was also against the context it's pretty cool too because it was against the team that we'd lost to in the previous tournament in the championship game, lost to them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so it was a big rematch game.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's the first step bat.
[SPEAKER_03]: We were down three nothing.
[SPEAKER_03]: He came with two two runners on.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the any struck out he struck out in coach pitch like this is coach pitch and struck out, which is embarrassing.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so like a Casey at the bat situation.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's I had mixed feelings whenever he strikes out of mixed feelings like part of me is like Mad because you know, this was a big moment in the game and this would cost us the game against this rival that we have the other part of music feels bad for him that he struck out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, the other part is like, I'm just curious.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I'm kind of glad to see him face some failure.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm curious.
[SPEAKER_03]: How is he going to react?
[SPEAKER_03]: He's going to go to no got to cry about it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, what's he going to do up a striking out, but he was fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: When he came back up his next time up and hit a RBI single to drive and two runs and next time up hit a home run.
[SPEAKER_03]: So bounce back.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, and so just had a great game and we end up going to the championship and winning.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he had that home run.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, yeah, that's my, I mean, it's pretty, and that's not the tournament two of the of the season of the year.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I was pretty good way to end it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's cool.
[SPEAKER_02]: I, uh, I don't think I told you with my senior softball with my old man's softball.
[SPEAKER_02]: I, uh, I broke my softball back.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, the, I, um,
[SPEAKER_02]: last season on the last game of the season, I swung and the top of the bat split and cracked.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's a, it's a trash bat.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have, but when I'm got this bat, it's an axe bat.
[SPEAKER_02]: And when I got it, they accidentally sent me an end, an end-loaded version.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's like heavier on the top.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then corrected and sent me the proper one.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's similar to a torpedo bat.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's, it's to get you more power because it's heavier swinging around, like an axe head.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, so I had this one and I don't use it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But my bat broke.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I had to be, I had to use this and load it back.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I've been using it for weeks and I suck and it sucks and I'm so frustrated that I went
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said, this is ridiculous, I want to buy a senior bat because then I get to use like, you know, the bats that everyone like would throw out of the softball leagues we were in because they got too much pop or then allowed when you're too old.
[SPEAKER_03]: But there's not team bats here.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can't borrow bat.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, everyone's got their own bat.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't want to ask to borrow bat.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I went
[SPEAKER_02]: So what's that 27-year-old baseball bat?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's all ball bat.
[SPEAKER_02]: I stuck in my bag.
[SPEAKER_02]: I went out the past two weeks.
[SPEAKER_02]: All I do is hit line drives.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just waiting for the fans.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's line drive, line drive.
[SPEAKER_02]: I get them on every time.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now I'm totally like this whole bat thing's a scam.
[SPEAKER_02]: This one that I used that I bought 27 years ago is still killing it for me.
[UNKNOWN]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I could buy him to bat their scam.
[SPEAKER_03]: I could buy him to that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think a lot of it's been full stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's some mental stuff there, definitely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Except for the torpedo bats.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the torpedo bats are legit.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, remember when with, I guess the, I guess that's yeah, he did hit a lot of home runs.
[SPEAKER_03]: But that calm down really fast.
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought they would hit a million home runs.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, that calmed down real fast.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and everyone would have a torpedo bat.
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't count that they'd calm down.
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't hear any torpedo bat talk in the real series.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the Yankees weren't there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but there was, I mean, Yankees aren't only- What's this?
[SPEAKER_02]: The best world series ever.
[SPEAKER_03]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the only reason I didn't- Here's my reason why I didn't make it.
[SPEAKER_03]: The best of the series.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because it was the Rogers and Blue Jays.
[SPEAKER_03]: The game itself, yeah, you could make it argument.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was just mad with his in there.
[SPEAKER_02]: But I was- I didn't plan on watching these games, but then when the game goes into 11-12-18-in-ins, you have to turn it on and watch.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then, when game 7-7 goes in the experience, you can't sit in a watch.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it wasn't just that.
[SPEAKER_03]: This, I, I mean, about the teams because I don't like either team, but the star elements were there.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, Vladimir Jr., like he's a superstar, of course, of Tony, like the entire pitching staff was nodgers.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're just not lucky to be a rookie pitcher for the people.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: How does that, how do you, how do you, how do you start this season in single eye?
[SPEAKER_02]: How does that happen?
[SPEAKER_02]: Why cannot magic not happen in Baltimore?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, who knows that we have made the playoffs, maybe it may, maybe it wasn't.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, really?
[SPEAKER_02]: Did we have someone from Singlei that made it all the way up to double a trip away to see if he could make a start?
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the license argument.
[SPEAKER_03]: You just got to get the playoffs and magic stuff magical things happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, that guy spent all season going up, level to level to level, because he had something special going on.
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't have any pictures that have something special going on.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I don't think that's fair.
[SPEAKER_03]: Josh, we have we have had some fast risers in the minors, the silo and Jackson holiday.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they got here 90 years old.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and many machado.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, go back in the day, machado, sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but how about pictures?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, if you never draft pictures, it's hard to have fast risers.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a, you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you think of the stuck ball in the wall?
[SPEAKER_02]: Crap play, I'm just connected.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's just a normal baseball thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is there controversy about that?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean, it just ended up happening in the world series.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm gonna happens all the time.
[SPEAKER_03]: You throw your hands up and, just what it is.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I think it was pretty cool to see, maybe the Dodgers have all those stars and the unlike list of heroes, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: It hits the home round to send the game and the extra enemies.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then makes that great play, throw into home.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, there's a lot of excitement.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, and it wasn't even 18 in the game.
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't stay up for it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Obviously, but I thought I was going up for it, but even even like watching the Cadence game and all the highlights, it wasn't like you think 18 innings.
[SPEAKER_03]: You think, oh, this is going to be like there was base runners every and it was like 30 runners left on race.
[SPEAKER_03]: There was basically every inning.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it was like, it was the outs start with.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no ghost runner.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was great time.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so yeah, all in all it was.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it was good.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was, I, I found myself at the beginning of the series.
[SPEAKER_03]: We were in for the Dodgers and I transitioned over to room for the Blue Jays.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then, um, I mean, I was kind of happy to see Jeff Hoffman, who I don't like, blow the save, but I was hoping that the, uh, Blue Jays would come back and win that one.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that there was some talk to in the press conference for the new or his manager about
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, the Blue Jays going from worst to world series champs or when I'm sorry, both series runner-ups as kind of a road map, perhaps for the Orioles as well in the AL East to mimic what the Blue Jays did this past year.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so now let's, as we get into Orioles, there's, there's been signs and everything this week and the seasons are over.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're definitely in full swing off swing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, let's get into Craig Auburn as I mean, that's the big news, I think.
[SPEAKER_03]: We, we, we knew the hours were looking for a manager.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm glad they jump in this quick because there's a bunch of teams looking for managers.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we address this thing pretty quickly.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I'm curious that you're a take on, I mean, I watched the press conference.
[SPEAKER_03]: I read what other people said about him.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so I've done a good bit of research on this great awareness guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Josh, what's your initial take?
[SPEAKER_03]: I know you were rooting for Adam Jones.
[SPEAKER_03]: What was your mistake on this deal?
[SPEAKER_02]: I love this move.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a young guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a guy that doesn't have experience managing, but he has respect in made really baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: And funny thing is, it reminds me so much of the hiring of Brim and Hyde, which I hated.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't know, I think it's, he the guy's got a good personality.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that he drives his whole family out.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that his kids have a similar haircut as mine.
[SPEAKER_02]: So maybe that style's coming at back with a little faux hawk.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that Rubenstein was at the press conference, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: You didn't see that in previous years with Angela's.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And no, that judge real quick for the,
[SPEAKER_03]: The Rubenstein, he said, him and the ownership group was part of the hiring process, so that they were involved in getting crank here.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so, that was interesting too.
[SPEAKER_03]: They seem to be, I think when this ownership group initially signed on, we thought maybe they'd be hands off.
[SPEAKER_03]: They seemed to be pretty hands-on.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think they were hands-on.
[SPEAKER_03]: We speculate they were hands-on off the firing of Red and Hyde, and it seemed like they were hands-on for the hiring of Cragabranas.
[SPEAKER_02]: Totally agree.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's 43 years old.
[SPEAKER_02]: He definitely has a Boston accent.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that takes a little adjusting to.
[SPEAKER_02]: But just because it's odd to see out of an oil.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I think Abernes is excited to be here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Abernes believes, at least he projects that he believes in this team and these young guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: And it seems like Michael Ias is handing over more control to Abernes than he did to Brandon Hyde.
[SPEAKER_02]: Would you like to see?
[SPEAKER_02]: Just from what I was reading about, I did not watch the press conference, but from what I was reading and people talking about how Alice believes in him, Rubenstein believes in him, and they really think that he can go in and kind of look at the Orioles with a different kind of philosophy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: I, I, I, I, I think that's a good take.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he sucked up a little bit by saying, uh, when speaking about analytics, he said, well, the analytics show that the Orioles struggles in 2025 were to because of injury.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he talked about then he talked to and went to talk about a diverse offense.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't really know what he means by a diverse offense.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm curious to see what that means.
[SPEAKER_03]: hopefully it means an offensive strikes out less.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I think it would mean an offense that's not all all or nothing like let's not all swing for the fence.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, so some things I like about him.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think he just seems first impression to have a good baseball face.
[SPEAKER_03]: I kind of like his face.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's got a baseball face.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's a young guy, but he looks like he looks like a baseball guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's older than me.
[SPEAKER_03]: I appreciate that too.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's older than me.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's younger than me.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, and I don't, I like the bald head.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm okay with the bald head.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, it seems like that was, I don't know if that's a choice or I assume it's not a choice.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think people are bald by a choice.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I assume there's a point where you, there's a point where you give up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where you say, well, I'm going to accept the bald head versus patchy hair.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, did Brennan hide?
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm trying to remember to he, I feel like he had some patchy hair up there.
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like he did it fully shave it off.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: I only think of Brennan hide with a hat on, just like this guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't care if you're bald, you're going to be wearing an Orioles hat.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I feel like maybe there were some patches on Brennan hide, but this guy's bald is a cue ball.
[SPEAKER_03]: I liked that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I liked that he's been on winning teams.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was in Cleveland.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was when they were winning.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was on the race when they were winning.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like all that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the other thing, and there's a couple of things I don't like, but the other thing I like is, to that point, not not only as you've been on the teams, all the other coaches and people around him have nothing but good things to say about him.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, and I think this is an important point because any time we're applying for a job and I've been on both ends, right, and we'll all been on both ends where we've applied for jobs and we've also been on the hiring process.
[SPEAKER_03]: Who there's a couple people who I've put on my kind of reckless who would literally like do anything to get me hired they would say all the nicest things in the world about me and it frankly it would all be true and they would believe it and if they needed to fly here whatever they would do it and when I'm right in recommendations for students because I do this a lot students apply for jobs after the graduate.
[SPEAKER_03]: or apply to grad school, I read recommendations.
[SPEAKER_03]: And there's some students who I say to schools or principals and even principals call me all the time and I talk to them.
[SPEAKER_03]: And there's some students who I say, listen, this person is amazing.
[SPEAKER_03]: You need this person in your school.
[SPEAKER_03]: They'll make you better than me, everyone.
[SPEAKER_03]: And there's some other people who I say, this student is a good student.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think she'll be a good teacher.
[SPEAKER_03]: right, but I'm not it's not true to the point where I'm saying you need to hire this person.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Josh, Steven vote.
[SPEAKER_03]: He literally like came to Baltimore for the press conference.
[SPEAKER_02]: He Steven vote said that Albert is the hardest working guy in baseball that he stays up all night diving into every little detail to try to get a little tick better.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he said the best part I believe it was vote that also said.
[SPEAKER_02]: As much as a baseball guy he is, he's even an even better person, which goes back to what I've been saying that these young players need is that type of mentor, that type of leader.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, there's a quote, because I wrote that quote down to Josh, here's a book book said, he's the hardest worker I've ever been around.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's from a guy who's coached in the league.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, for a while, it's been around a lot of players and coaches, and he's saying, now he's the hardest coach.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's the hardest work.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've got this quote from a minor league coach.
[SPEAKER_02]: The attitude, the attitude, the work ethic, that's
[SPEAKER_02]: Craig is a leader from the minute he walks into the room, people follow him.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I want from our coach.
[SPEAKER_03]: What?
[SPEAKER_03]: And see even though he went on to say that Craig's going to absolutely crush it and bring people together and create an unbelievable winning culture in one or more.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's what I, that's what, when you laugh at me for Adam Jones, it was my whole thing was to build the culture in that clubhouse.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's what excites me about that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And people weren't bashing Tony, mental only.
[SPEAKER_03]: People weren't bashing bread and hide.
[SPEAKER_03]: But like the praise was not quite effusive as effusive as the praise has been for Cregabranas across the league.
[SPEAKER_03]: So everyone thinks this was a slam dot car.
[SPEAKER_03]: In fact, it seemed like me, interview with the nationals last year, the both the white socks and the marlins from what I read, we're ready to give him the job.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he didn't want to take it
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Which means he wants to be in Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_02]: He sees the excitement that he can win.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: What you, I totally get.
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course you turned him white socks in the marlins.
[SPEAKER_02]: You wait for the opportunity that's that you think you can win with and he thinks that's in Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a total sense.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a good gig in Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you see the press conference when they asked if he talked to any players yet?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and he said he talked to six or seven.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did he?
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you see why he talked to those six or seven?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, his kids.
[SPEAKER_02]: His kids were pushing him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Call Gunner Henderson.
[SPEAKER_02]: Call Jackson Howard.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: His kids love baseball.
[SPEAKER_02]: So they love these guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just love the host.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love his family.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am so excited for this guy to be the manager of the Orioles.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that he was a not on anyone's radar.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like inside of baseball, he was on people's radar.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, everyone knows what.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, but no one, no reporters were writing about this guy as an option.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love this move.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: The before I get to my my two down sides of them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, I watched an interview.
[SPEAKER_03]: I listened to an interview with him after the press conference.
[SPEAKER_03]: He went on WBL and was interviewed.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, and he talked about conversation with players and he said the two things that stuck out to him with the talk and on the phone with these players is one their desire to win one of wins and kind of take the game next level and two like their desire to just how much they just love playing with one
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, which I think comes across here like I think we can criticize the play on the field, but I think we all agree like our core group gets along really well together and they want to win and he spoke about that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: With that clubhouse, he said we're with each other for 162 games more than we see our own families.
[SPEAKER_02]: So this has to be a place where guys want to show up every day.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Then he went on talking about games.
[SPEAKER_03]: If your own deal, it might be 10 games, but everyone else.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, he said, but that leader, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: He said, players play their best when they're loose when they're having fun and when they feel connected, because this is still a kid's game, we just played on the biggest stage.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know about that quote.
[SPEAKER_03]: That makes sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that quote.
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I, I think that leads right into the clubhouse.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, then.
[SPEAKER_03]: Weaver would not approve of that quote or weaver.
[SPEAKER_03]: No,
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, here's how about this for some discipline.
[SPEAKER_02]: When you tell a player the truth, he might be mad at you for a day, but if you lie to him, you'll lose him forever.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's a good teacher quote that I like for the clubhouse.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, put put that in a
[SPEAKER_03]: A couple of concerns, a couple of red flags.
[SPEAKER_03]: You mentioned both these red flags.
[SPEAKER_03]: One is the accent.
[SPEAKER_03]: We got to do something about that.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's the most accent.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's the big, long talk.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's an accent.
[SPEAKER_03]: A little bit too heavy.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not very heavy.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's very heavy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, the other thing is, I mean, you did talk a lot about his family brought his, is the daughter's name really GG or is that a nickname?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, the daughter's name is GG.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's a little bit of a yellow flag for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, that's a good name.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd like that multiple times to make sure I read that probably.
[SPEAKER_03]: That may be a family name, perhaps.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's probably a family name.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, okay, but I prefer judge actually my take on this is and maybe because I'm watching the cowboys documentary on Netflix with Jimmy Johnson, but I prefer my managers to be divorced or to not have families can I want that 100% all in focused on winning.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I feel like, he said a quote about how, you know, the family keeps and grounded because they don't care whether it was my kids or the greatest gift.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, you know, I want the kids to boo him when he comes in after a loss.
[SPEAKER_03]: And, and frankly, I want him to be sleeping at the warehouse now in the game table day that his wife leaves him because he's in love so much with the sport of baseball.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so I look at families and coaches as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll see, but see the way I see it.
[SPEAKER_02]: is his kids his boys they love the game of baseball they're pushing him to reach out to these kids to these players they what these kids are going to be around the clubhouse these kids are going to be around candy darts there's things guys you want to watch more game tape here dad no get ready this is the new rippkins oh the rippkin family this is the rippkin family
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought the holidays were going to do it, but maybe what the neighborhoods are going to swoop in there.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're split up between multiple teams.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a little hard.
[SPEAKER_03]: We can fix that.
[SPEAKER_03]: We can fix that up.
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, I feel as you do.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think from listening to some of the local talk radio I listened to, I'm not plugged into social media anymore, so I don't know that,
[SPEAKER_03]: And just as the national reporters, I feel like everyone agrees, this sounds like the best higher we've put it down.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm also part of his also just a side relief.
[SPEAKER_03]: We didn't hire Aberpool hosts.
[SPEAKER_02]: Totally.
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't want poor homes.
[SPEAKER_02]: I never wanted poor homes.
[SPEAKER_03]: Or some other unexperienced managers never done before.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so we have a competent manager who's ballspoken and I also listen.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm glad we didn't go with Tony either.
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like this was a fresh blood situation needed, a fresh voice, and it sounds like he's gonna be a really good fresh voice.
[SPEAKER_03]: I might be singing a different tune out of October, but right now this sounds like a really good hire.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now I feel like this is a new page, a new page turn of the Orioles organization that this is Rubinstein and put in his mark on the manager.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, and it's just this is such a, I've seen about this today, how crucial of a time this is for the Orioles organization, right, you had this young.
[SPEAKER_03]: team tanking for all these top draft picks.
[SPEAKER_03]: They're here, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's worked.
[SPEAKER_03]: We got all these young stars.
[SPEAKER_03]: Last year was a disaster.
[SPEAKER_03]: this year it's going to determine if the whole thing was a disaster, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like if we again missed the playoffs this year, it might be time to explore trading some of these players, blown up a lot, like this whole failure.
[SPEAKER_03]: And on the other hand, last year could have just been a blip on the radar a little step back when our road to where we wanted to on to on to lift off.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this is a little blip and lift off, a little engine trouble, but now we're back at lift off.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so this year's just seems so crucial.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so I'm glad we have a guy who feels like the right fit in this crucial year.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, did you see Rubenstein asked about the fact that Alberna's has never played in the major that majors?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, and they've originally spoke to every Oriental fan's heart, where he said, we had a manager before who never played in the major leagues named Earl Weaver.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Earl was also not a tall person.
[SPEAKER_02]: He was a little shorter than Earl.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, you never did on Craig's height, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and then Albert and I said, you nailed it or something like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, I don't think the playing in the major thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think is one of the most both as like a commentator and a coach is one of the most silly.
[SPEAKER_03]: He played for years in the minors.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not he's never picked up a baseball.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's been coaching for minors for years.
[SPEAKER_05]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I also think there's something true to the fact that, you know, players who don't play teach.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, again, those who are super gifted and talented, where it comes naturally to do them, sometimes have a hard time coaching because they have all this natural God giving gifts that these other players don't.
[SPEAKER_03]: And all the players didn't have all the natural gifts, or you would have been in the majors.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you ready to have some players?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, no, before we to players, all right, you mentioned Rubenstein and some of the cameras and some of the things I got to talk about this.
[SPEAKER_03]: He also in the same press conference with Craig talked about the finances and we got to talk about this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the whole deal.
[SPEAKER_02]: He didn't say let's spend the ton of money.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's the quote.
[SPEAKER_03]: We have here's the first part of the quote and the second part of the quote and I feel like I wish I just heard the first part and didn't hear the second part, but here's the first part.
[SPEAKER_03]: He said, we have the resources to acquire the players that we need to make the team work.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, leave it there, leave it there, leave it there, shut up, turn off his mics.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, it's good.
[SPEAKER_02]: He continues.
[SPEAKER_02]: we don't have particular financial constraints.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, good.
[SPEAKER_02]: I, Mike, still on.
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't turn it off, turn it off, turn it off.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no, no, turn this part up.
[SPEAKER_02]: Turn up the light.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hold on, there's a point where he's going across the line.
[SPEAKER_02]: I see it coming.
[SPEAKER_03]: We have an investor group that's pretty deep pocketed.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, all right, I like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so we're able to do what we need to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, and you see Mr. Cohen.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so we will do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, there we go.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, here's another part, here's the next part.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, see, see, stop it there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I knew it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I knew you were going to give me great news.
[SPEAKER_02]: And now here's the, but there's no need to open our wallets.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, you know the first part of the bad news or the first part of the other news begins with a name.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know what name is going with the team or a player.
[SPEAKER_02]: Michael, Michael Lies.
[SPEAKER_03]: Michael Lies has a lot of authority to go out and find the best players that we can get.
[SPEAKER_03]: And of course, I'm not always the case that the highest payroll wins.
[SPEAKER_03]: Clearly, the last couple of years, it's probably been the case, but it's always the case.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, and then here's the last, I don't want to ask about that part.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is he through Michael, I lies under the bus there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is he saying we've got all the money?
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know why Michael eyes isn't signing big names.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, if this offseason Josh, we don't spend money.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's clearly saying here.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's told Michael Ice.
[SPEAKER_02]: He can.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mike has been given permission to send the money and we've talked on here.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm pretty sure we've talked about our theory that maybe Michael Ice is so
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, completely on my.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, not on ownership ownership is very to spend.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's one of the highest.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so if I'm if I'm like Elias, by the way, if I'm like Elias, I'm sitting here in this, in this, in this tester, it makes me a bit uncomfortable because reality of it is Josh, even giving my credit that he wants to get these top free agents.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, wanting to get a top free agent.
[SPEAKER_03]: Does it mean you get the top for agent, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Like they have to want to, we saw this with corporate burns.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they want to want to come here too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so now there's just a lot of more pressure now in Mike, I think, because, you know, well, it's not like just because you have the money, you will necessarily get the prior that you want.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, Mike, I cannot wait for you to announce Cody Belancher and Peter Lanzo for this year.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so and the quote goes on.
[SPEAKER_03]: So we don't feel the need to break records by setting payroll records.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because look how that worked out for the Dodgers.
[SPEAKER_02]: What a failure.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: But we think we want to get good players who want to be part of organization that is really very cohesive, a part of helping to rebuild Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, all right, the first I should see cut the mic at the first time.
[SPEAKER_02]: I told you you have to cut the mic these guys talk too much.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah Even even if you left it to I told my allies he could go spend all the money in the world.
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't cut it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah
[SPEAKER_02]: And then he just threw Michael ice under the bus.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but there was a lot of throughout with that said, throughout this press conference from Craig, like Craig said, Mike has full power over the roster.
[SPEAKER_03]: And Mike is really good at that part.
[SPEAKER_03]: And Rubenstein said about Mike winning, I think, Jim of the year and the promotion, I asked about the promotion.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he said, he's kind of shy, said, Michael ice is shy or something.
[SPEAKER_03]: But everyone was very kind of heaping on praise.
[SPEAKER_03]: for megalious about this press conference.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I don't think megalious is on the hot seat at all.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, they have all accepted the fact that injuries ruin last year.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's no pressure on a life.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, but I could, but Rubenstein and his team is clearly involved in what's happening here.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so if they don't see any movement, now that we know they've even given authority to sign big for agents, I would be shocked if we don't see one or two big names,
[SPEAKER_03]: not just rumored about but actually nine with orals based on this conversation and 100% don't I think legalized is going to have to answer some questions to the ownership yes agreed i totally agree i think that was if not thrown him under the bus put in a little pressure on yeah don't don't don't cry poor yet the message could not be clear
[SPEAKER_03]: The answer to this offseason is not, you know, is not Jordan Liles, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: The answer is not some washed up 5th starter, who's 38 years old.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, when it's from America or Japan, that's not the answer.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you mean we haven't, I'm going to get the players in a few minutes, but you mean we haven't solved our issues yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: Michael, I hasn't done enough in the first week.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, I actually liked what he's done.
[SPEAKER_02]: I do too, but they're not answers.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I'm just saying, he was, um, like last off season, our big free of the signings was what, um, Sagano, there he is, and Tyler or Neil.
[SPEAKER_03]: Chaloneo like it's got to be a little bit better.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, and we got another the Morton Charlie Morton.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you're Charlie Morton.
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't really want.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we we got you a little bit better than that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yes, please.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, now can we talk about players this week.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: We got Tyler O'Neill human's left took his option.
[SPEAKER_02]: that we all, we expected that.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've been right because Tyler and he had a bad year, he won't make that money anywhere else.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, when you only play five games, people don't want to spit to pay that on a why.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you going to bet on an open and day home run from Tyler or Neil?
[SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_03]: You have to do it at this point.
[SPEAKER_03]: He'll be injured by week by week seven.
[SPEAKER_03]: Whatever is the over under total home runs, but the under.
[SPEAKER_02]: But just open and day.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, who they declined.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I do.
[SPEAKER_03]: Jorge Mateo.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your Jorge Mateo.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think Jorge Mateo stays in Baltimore?
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think this shuts the door on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I don't think it shuts the door either.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you could get him cheaper.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, we do have more depth now.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there is a chance he goes someplace else.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's why you're willing to not give him the option and kind of just see if you can get him cheaper.
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, I think the question for Jorge Mateo is,
[SPEAKER_03]: Is there a roster spot for him on some, maybe like, is there a major roster spot for him?
[SPEAKER_03]: Because I think if he starts with us, it's going to be playing most of his days of AAA.
[SPEAKER_03]: Unless he's angry.
[SPEAKER_03]: Agreed.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so if you can find a spot on a 26-man roster, I think he'll take that.
[SPEAKER_02]: But if he can't, it's a good guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: So yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I like him as a depth piece.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I also like that we're saying no we we can do better than her material.
[SPEAKER_03]: I also like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: I need this one to says.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_02]: Next one my list.
[SPEAKER_02]: Dietrich and that we get my deal for 2025 or for 2026 with a club option for 2027.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love this move.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know you like him for some weird reason.
[SPEAKER_02]: And ends turned out to be our only
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I think this is more about the whole penance, but yeah, I also love the story of ends of going and pitching overseas in Japan in Korea and then coming back.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I like, I like players who have like five years, six year gaps in their baseball reference page.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they just dropped out the face years for five years and right back.
[SPEAKER_03]: I appreciate this story there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's a gamer.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and he pitch well for us, I think we certainly are going to have a lot of holes in the bullpen we need to fill, so it makes sense.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's armed to have in there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Josh Walker.
[SPEAKER_02]: Who?
[SPEAKER_02]: Josh Walker.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know who Josh Walker is.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know any about Josh Walker.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's another left hand.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a left hand picture we gave a one year deal, too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: He has a 439 ERA over 174 AAA and then nothing special.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I guess he was with the Orioles, any left for the Mets and Blue Jays and then he came back.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's nothing there.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, we made a trade.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like this trade.
[SPEAKER_02]: We traded cash considerations, which I never know what that is.
[SPEAKER_02]: No way.
[SPEAKER_02]: It all depends on how good the guy does, I imagine.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But we got back Andrew Kittridge, which I love this on twofold.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love it because I like Andrew Kittridge and our pen.
[SPEAKER_02]: And to I love the trade that we made this season, send an Andrew Kittridge away to bring in some minor league players
[SPEAKER_02]: So I think we already know Batista's gonna be out all next there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is Kittridge the option?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Batista could be out for the next 100 years.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm coming Grayson gonna go retire somewhere together.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I mean, I don't know Batista ever.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I think this is a really bad Batista's.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, but I don't see Kittridge as I hope Kittridge's not our closure going into the season.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think at minimum he's a setup guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, he's a seventh in a guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: The eighth and ninth in a guy are one of the team, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, I hope you're right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: But this is a good, you're right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like we got, um, well, this is right, uh, de-cruze or something.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll free de-cruze.
[SPEAKER_03]: They, de-cruze.
[SPEAKER_03]: We got him.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then this is the idea of situation.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's do the same thing with Brian, Brian or hern.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's sign all these guys to one your deals.
[SPEAKER_03]: Trade and then sign them right back.
[SPEAKER_03]: So you get the piece.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then, I mean, this is what the Or is wanted to begin with.
[SPEAKER_03]: They gave my, I year, a second, your option.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so it's you think they're picking up the second your option, but they also got this 18 year old short set prospect somehow on this deal as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, it's a it's a good deal.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Kitchell is a good bullpen arm.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm yeah, makes you I don't it's just funny the way pictures with this little with this arms out, you need a little stare down.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, and it doesn't, no, it's like, no, oh, that's the other guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's not fit rich.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it means like, well, what's his nickname like the drunk on cool or something?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
[SPEAKER_03]: I saw that news that he was just cleaned up waivers.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and he sounds good guy that's gonna be dropped and picked up off waivers About six more times before this off season.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he might be I know his name only because he was a jumbo shrimp So I saw him here in Jacksonville.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've seen the name a few times But I don't know anything about the guy Yeah, he's a right hand.
[SPEAKER_03]: He'll be up and down about a dozen times.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think so don't don't I hope don't I want to I want to go out and buy a George story ono jersey just quite yet
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, so those are the moves you're also made so far.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, free agency officially starts tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_02]: So this is all agency starts tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Free, free agent, mess claims in your own player's step.
[SPEAKER_02]: Based on cleaning up some stuff this week, signing an Alberna's right away in an ounce of that this week.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you feeling the same way I am about the Orioles that we're going to make us posture early?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, if we're signing a big name, we're doing it in November, December.
[SPEAKER_03]: I would think so, Josh, because, yeah, you're right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Other people are still looking for their managers.
[SPEAKER_03]: Or is it getting right on this?
[SPEAKER_03]: That the next step is for Abernaz to kind of fill his staff.
[SPEAKER_03]: I imagine that's gonna happen next week or two.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: To bring in his own guys.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then, yeah, so I think in keeping with this, clearly we don't want to be left.
[SPEAKER_03]: on the outside looking at and clearly ownership group doesn't want to be left on the on the outside looking in.
[SPEAKER_03]: In some ways you think about it, this losing season Josh could be one of the best things that happened to us, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: We get a new manager, no, let's be honest, neither of us really liked hide to begin with.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's a new round of your life.
[SPEAKER_03]: And if the worst kept winning, you never would have been fired.
[SPEAKER_03]: So we get a new manager like, also, like, losing is can be a wake up call to the ownership group to say, okay, make the lives.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know you want to do this, maybe without spending money, but hey, listen, just based on what happened last year.
[SPEAKER_03]: We need to spend money, and so it might be kicking the pants to actually do something to spend money Does that maybe it feels like I'm with you Josh it feels like a I earned and see around this organization and so something could happen pretty I think we signed a big name Before the end of this month Yeah, which you got to have him join throughout there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got a guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was gonna say you and I each pick a guy and whoever gets signed with the Orioles whoever they signed first wins Do you have your guy
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, this is why I think it's going to be our top free agent signing.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've got mine too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hopefully we don't have the same name.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mine is Dylan cease.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I was going to go to pitching right as well, but I was going to go with Franber about this.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Another, either one of those guys, I'll be happy with.
[SPEAKER_02]: And my prediction is that Dylan cease is an Oriole by the end of November.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: that we have something that will give you a lot of money and big name when we pull around and do our Thanksgiving episode in just a couple weeks we will be giving thanks for Dylan Sees and if it's about as we will also be giving thanks to him.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that would help to identify either of those guys or rotation.
[SPEAKER_03]: That'd be great.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I think there's a chance for some veteran, like a Pete Luanzo, or I don't know, or an outfielder.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but I think your Orioles are going to focus on pitching.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I wonder.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's can I just throw a crazy theory out there?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because the outfielders that are out there are somewhat, I mean, there's Cal Tucker and there's Cody Belinger.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the Belinger is the one.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the only exciting one to me.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I would rather have Cal Tucker than Belinger.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, then I'll give you him too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I think that's kind of the list of kind of great outfielders.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, remember, Cody Bellon's are also place for space.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so can we have four first spacemen?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but we'd love to have a bunch of first spacemen so we could get rid of some of them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Josh, where are you going?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm going to throw out a different idea, though, because... Ramon, Loriano.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm going to throw out a name for center field that's going to blow your mind.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, center field.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, say with me now.
[SPEAKER_02]: He is not in the organization currently.
[SPEAKER_03]: He is an organization.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think we do this in-house.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you ready to bring him up already?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not calling him but he up either.
[SPEAKER_03]: We got this on the raster.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you're just, you're just bumping Colton over.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, codecallusor cannot be your everyday.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, he needs the platoon with Tyloneel and get my Jackson over there.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: So who's on the roster that you're comfortable at center field?
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is he never played center field before, but you're going to try it out.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, we're, Jorge Mateo's no longer on the roster.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, but teams do this.
[SPEAKER_03]: Teams taking part.
[SPEAKER_03]: Who, who are we going to try out?
[SPEAKER_03]: Josh, what about Jackson holiday instead?
[SPEAKER_02]: These two small.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's too small.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's just tall, centric, mollins.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're not too small.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's got to be better on the centric, mollins.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jackson, oh, he has never played the outfield.
[SPEAKER_03]: He can play it, Josh.
[SPEAKER_03]: People would do this all the time.
[SPEAKER_03]: They take athletic, short stops, and infielders, and they put it in the center field.
[SPEAKER_03]: How many centerfielders are there?
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, outfielders started a short stop for infielders, and they just moved him.
[SPEAKER_02]: Not in the majors, they played, they were short-stopping high school, and they'd be college because that's where your best players are.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jackson holiday is not going to go to center field where he will not touch the ball as much as he is in the, in the infield.
[SPEAKER_02]: I just Google Jackson holiday center field to see if he's ever played it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And no story comes up.
[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't, didn't, um, Jackson, Torch, Torio, didn't he?
[SPEAKER_03]: I feel like he was an infielder and just in the majors jumping into the, this is the versiony now filter.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is even more ridiculous than me saying higher Adam Jones's manager.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because if you do a Josh, if you just try it out.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you just try it out, all of a sudden, it opens you up to a free agent second basement or third basement because West, you can do second or third and there's a lot more better players as second or third than just looking for a center fielder.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's just an idea when it's out there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I found someone that agrees with you.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know where am I even at?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, yeah, I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm taking credit like this is my idea.
[SPEAKER_03]: I heard this on when I was listening to WBL radio when they had to Craig Abernes interview, he was talking before the interview and he mentioned this idea, I'm just gonna have, I don't mean that's a terrible idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not a horrible idea.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just starting out there as an option because then you could add, because our influence kind of stuck right now with the player.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can, it is, it is stuck.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can we, is it time for Bradfield?
[SPEAKER_02]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't think he can come up yet.
[SPEAKER_02]: No way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because he, he doesn't end the bad.
[SPEAKER_03]: He doesn't have the bat, and cows are doesn't have the bat.
[SPEAKER_03]: cows are strikes out too much.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's true.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's a fourth out footer right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: cows are all right.
[SPEAKER_03]: I want him pletuning with a kneel until a kneel gets hurt and then Jeremiah Jackson in the offfield.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we have beavers on the other side.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: And if you can get Cal Tucker or Cody Belinger, okay, you took it stupid idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you somehow made me sit here and start to think about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's athletic enough to do it.
[SPEAKER_03]: playing outfield is not that a horror material played outfield.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, there's a reason you put has to curse dad and DJ Stewart on their weapons out there in the outfield.
[SPEAKER_03]: And Jack's holiday is isn't a lead athlete, which has to be called.
[SPEAKER_02]: Really ranked as the third worst defensive second basement in the American League.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the other thing.
[SPEAKER_03]: His second-based metrics are not good.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, they're not.
[SPEAKER_03]: So you would be, you could be getting defensive upgrades.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, let's try it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Let's try it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just saying.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just turn out there.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't have a bad idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: Jackson's got that whole facility.
[SPEAKER_02]: He spent all last season, ground beef.
[SPEAKER_02]: If he spends all of season taking flybow balls, his dad and him can work out there.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can get the best center field or coaches out there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was not.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's fast.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's all center field is all about that first step that first jump Jackson how they got has that speed.
[SPEAKER_03]: baseball instincts.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like your idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'll get it to you.
[SPEAKER_02]: You convinced me.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're going to center field.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's because we don't do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then the outfit's kind of set.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then we don't need to dig it at free agent.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you got me because of the how there is no flexibility in our infield.
[SPEAKER_02]: And when you go through, we have a crowded infield that would help out.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep, and then we can look at our boba shed out of Spragman, um, Eugenio Suarez, Clebertores, so will you just as more options?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, the door definitely opens.
[SPEAKER_03]: So just think about it, all right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Just think about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think you're on the something.
[SPEAKER_03]: Are there any other, you imagine it?
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, maybe I'll make a TikTok and steal your idea.
[SPEAKER_03]: OK. You mentioned Dylan Sees, and I mentioned it from about as, we just, those are the top two, and listen, it's going to be hard to get the top pitching because, you know, every team won't starting pitching.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's will go after him.
[SPEAKER_03]: The fillets will go after these guys.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's going to be blue jays, will go prior, go after him, start and pitch it like,
[SPEAKER_03]: Teams of deep pockets are going to be going after these pictures.
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're going to have to pay top dollars.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's no discounts from top to top.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: And there's going to be a lot of big money deals.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I like Josh.
[SPEAKER_03]: You look at that.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're like.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where should we go?
[SPEAKER_02]: Michael Lorenzo.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he's not a top end, but I think we've seen good stuff out of him.
[SPEAKER_02]: I see, I'm seeing him on the list here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I know who I want.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want the guy from the, I want Michael Soroka.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't stop it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I want him in my bullpen.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no, something's up with Michael Saroka, seriously, because he was a good pitcher in Atlanta.
[SPEAKER_02]: And something happened.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's only 28 years old.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, all right.
[SPEAKER_02]: And he hasn't been in the same sense.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: So maybe not nor, nor focus a good destination or have.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's a guy I like and here's here's a good.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think there's a connection here too.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, if we want to go, oh, there's a reliever, I think we could sign in the next three weeks.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're talking relievers,
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm stuck in first basement.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: You'll find a connection because he used to play for the Guardians with Craig, and he played with Seattle, a good leader on that team, Josh Nailer.
[SPEAKER_03]: I loved in the way jumped up to try to break up with a play and didn't kind of hit him ball trick earlier And I guess he just seems like a gamer plays the game really hard and Seems like a good kind of one of those.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, sure.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's one of those baseball guys.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah Any any's a good player you'd be an upgrade at first base over Ryan Maccouse, certainly and so I like the idea of Josh Nailer as as our Everything for a spaceman
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: When you talk about guys connected, and we talked about how we need an eight and nine in a guy, do you think it's time for the return of certain Anthony Domingos?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, I'd be good with that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would love that move.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we saw we saw him go to Toronto and pitch excellent.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So he guessed it there.
[SPEAKER_02]: He gets out of experience of getting in postseason and world series pitch in big games, big moments, jumping back.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you know who I also like as a retiree?
[SPEAKER_03]: I've always liked this guy.
[SPEAKER_03]: And so this is my bias getting in the way.
[SPEAKER_03]: Another form of oil, who I think you're going with.
[SPEAKER_03]: A former oil who classic case of high top draft pick, going to be a stud, too many injuries, and then leaves Baltimore and gets his act together.
[SPEAKER_03]: But now in the bullpen hunter Harvey.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I just said.
[SPEAKER_02]: I knew you were going hard Yeah, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was trying to think and I was like you're either going hunter Harvey or you're killing like Danny Colum And but Harvey.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, is that cool.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think I don't know that would be a bad movie either They're bringing no fool them back now.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's just a little older.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I like but he I don't think you ever relied on like super hard velocity So I think he could he might age well
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's a lot of interest in options like that for our bullpen.
[SPEAKER_03]: The other bullpen on our like for our talking bullpen arms is, you know, we got Albert's War as to get his brother Robert's War as and Robert's War as if we got him.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that's he's he could be our closure.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's closure stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now that's a closer stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: He had 40 saves last year with San Diego.
[SPEAKER_03]: So Robert's War as I think would be a great pick up.
[SPEAKER_02]: I agree.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think there are options, there's options out there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: And let's see.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this offseason we could see the oils making news every couple weeks.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: How many?
[SPEAKER_03]: big, free agent signings for you to be satisfied that, yeah, Michaelized it is job, Ruben signed it is job.
[SPEAKER_03]: They opened up the first strike.
[SPEAKER_03]: How many, if they sign, you know, Dylan Seas, is that enough for you?
[SPEAKER_02]: If it's, all right, if it's top tier, like top five, because Dylan Seas, you can think as much money as anybody this is for you, Dylan Seas.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I also think you sign a big name like Dylan Seas that puts the depth of our rotation,
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because we talk about these eight nine slot that could easily be Tyler Wells either one of those slots Well, that's true.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's got the arm for it.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's true, Josh, and when we sign starting pictures and hopefully they say healthy that that's guys like Chase McDermott can go to the bullpen yep Trevor Wells can go to the bullpen Maybe even certainly Swarès can go to the bullpen and who's the kid?
[SPEAKER_02]: Who's that young guy who looks like he's 16?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, Brendan Young, I don't know what you're talking about.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hold on, Orioles rotation.
[SPEAKER_03]: Chase McDermott, hate Pulvitz?
[SPEAKER_02]: Pulvitz, Pulvitz.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, Pulvitz.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, however, as far as our pobish can move, can get moved.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, move for the bullpen.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's why I'm saying, if you sign Dylan Cs, that's enough for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm happy.
[SPEAKER_02]: If it's not Dylan Cs, I need to give me a reliable starter and give me a bat and I'm happy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But Dylan Cs, and I'm great.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I kind of tend to agree with that.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you give me,
[SPEAKER_03]: like frameravades, and then, you know, a hunter harvey or even better a barber's sorrows, I think you can be good with that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Or if you, if you, if you don't get the top tier, give me kind of two guys from, from, yeah, from right below that list.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I could, I get behind that, too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I could buy that.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, um, all right.
[SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, and then we haven't explored yet.
[SPEAKER_03]: We talked about it, but there's also the trade route.
[SPEAKER_03]: And we could take on more money and stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we could easily do that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: To win.
[SPEAKER_03]: What I don't want to hear about is, oh, big payroll increases because of arbitration.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to hear about that.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, there will be some payroll now.
[SPEAKER_03]: That way as well.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't want to hear fear of a lock out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, for not doing a long-term deal.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, good luck.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to hear any of that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: When does our free agency open?
[SPEAKER_03]: tomorrow.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, my glass had a great quote.
[SPEAKER_03]: I wrote this down because he said the W word.
[SPEAKER_03]: He never says a W word.
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's a quote from Mega Lies.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mega Lies said, we believe this time at Craig.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: Craig ominous.
[SPEAKER_03]: We believe he is the right person at the right time to elevate our baseball operations and guide our team back to the playoffs.
[SPEAKER_03]: And a world series championship.
[SPEAKER_03]: Usually a Mega Lies just talks about one and make the playoffs, but he already mentioned the world series.
[SPEAKER_03]: So that's a good mentality too, Mike, like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: And don't forget, there are a few players in Japan that the talk is that are moving over next year as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: With after we saw the great success in the Dodgers, so that could be a place the Orioles go as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I haven't paid much after, Rukus Azaki.
[SPEAKER_03]: I haven't paid much attention to that, but yeah, there's a couple of big bats and then there's a picture.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, I assume all the good ones would be Dodgers, but maybe we can get a Dodgers the Dodgers say they've paid they've made all their money back from the 700 million in one year.
[SPEAKER_02]: So they can sign them all apparently.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I believe that.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, yeah, I'm curious.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm just going to be interesting with something to do the Dodgers Yankees both have.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, the Yankees have I mean, just think about their staff of.
[SPEAKER_03]: Um, Max Fried and Garrett Cole.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the other guy that they signed, the lefty, that I went all the way to the side, like just the money they got tied up and started pitching.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the money, like I just wonder, I mean, I hope maybe some of these big teams have so much money tied up that maybe they won't be, you know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe they'll be a little hesitant.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe they'll be a little hesitant.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, maybe they'll be a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a mid-market teams to have some fun.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know, maybe that's being too.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's a small market, a small market, but all right, Rubin Santoxic, we've been market.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, let's get out of here.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, that's good.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we'll try to get back to being more regular.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was a goal because I've been brainstorming about some ideas too.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm related to baseball that we didn't have time to get into.
[SPEAKER_03]: I had this groundbreaking idea about ice cubes next show.
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to share with you.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just a little teaser.
[SPEAKER_03]: Ice cubes haven't really gone anywhere in a while.
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to take a few different levels.
[SPEAKER_03]: So let's talk about it next time.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, make ice cubes great again.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Great again.
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't like that market in better than ever.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ice cream was pretty, ice cubes was pretty good in like the 30s or whenever it was invented.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Before that, I would have to drink warm.
[SPEAKER_03]: When they were less, when they were more rare.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now people take for granted.
[SPEAKER_02]: When you needed the ice cube to make your freeze or work.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, where they take the giant one and stick it in there.
[SPEAKER_03]: Or they had the separate kind of ice house.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now we all just.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, let's get out on that.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you like us, if you like the show and you want us to do it more, we'll then help us by spreading the news and writing review on iTunes or Apple podcasts.
[SPEAKER_03]: Tell your friends about the show.
[SPEAKER_03]: Send Josh nasty emails when we don't record for a couple of weeks or join our I still have this on my own or discord and you want to know this for your course.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have one fun story before we get out of here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, okay I'm with this 12 12 years ago.
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe we were a year in the section 336 maybe two years in the same two years
[SPEAKER_02]: I sent an email to section 336 at gmail.com and I said, hey man, I'm not sure if you use this email or anything, I can't really see it tied to anything.
[SPEAKER_02]: Would you mind if I could have this email address?
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: 12 years ago.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Never responded to me.
[SPEAKER_03]: Practically didn't ever check it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yesterday, I got a response.
[SPEAKER_02]: No way.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yesterday, I got a response saying.
[SPEAKER_02]: After 12 years of response,
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, he asked the turn off the two factors so I can get into it.
[SPEAKER_02]: But 12 years later, he emailed me and said you can have this path.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is going to be our new email account.
[SPEAKER_02]: Only if I can really get into it, we'll see.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't know how that works.
[SPEAKER_02]: But right now, you can send all your complaint emails by going to sectionsweet36.com.
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's a feedback spot there.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's also a donation spot.
[SPEAKER_02]: If you want to help us out financially.
[SPEAKER_03]: What do you think, girl?
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I put it in your way to share the show.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Gosh, are the Ravens fixed real quick?
[SPEAKER_03]: Are they better?
[SPEAKER_03]: Are they fixed?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they don't.
[SPEAKER_01]: The Ravens are fit.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's my family seat, hopefully.
[SPEAKER_03]: So if I were to go with the Ravens on on my survival report this week, to beat the Vikings, what would you rate to accomplish on the beat of Vikings?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this is the week to take the Ravens.
[SPEAKER_03]: They play the Jets of Browns match, but they're not, but they know they could be from this week.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but you're going to have to look at the next year.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because if you haven't picked Jets of the Browns yet, you're not going to pick them against the Ravens.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know.
[SPEAKER_03]: But they're playing each other this week.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm actually going to play the Browns.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's the Jets trailer we can play.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Anyway, we got to get out of here.
[SPEAKER_03]: Alright, boys and girls.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you for listening.
[SPEAKER_02]: Play the Browns this week because you can pick the Ravens when they play the Browns.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no way you'll block those going.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come on, dude.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, I just don't like the idea of losing much of a hyperphysical background.
[SPEAKER_03]: I understand.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm trying to live with you this the week.
[SPEAKER_03]: All right boys and girls, thanks for listening.
