1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,320
Speaker 1: Ten fifty two.

2
00:00:01,439 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 2: It is matten Ross with you, all right, So we

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,359
have to eliminate the comment. If you tweet about Posey

4
00:00:10,439 --> 00:00:12,960
L two Bay not being in the WBC, or for

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:18,239
that matter, any of your favorite players, I would like

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,879
for all of us to admit to delete the following comment. Well,

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,800
it could happen just as easy in a spring training

8
00:00:23,839 --> 00:00:26,280
game that it kind of happened in WBC. And in

9
00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:29,199
theory that is accurate, okay, because when you get on

10
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:32,840
a diamond, you are playing. But the reality there are

11
00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:36,520
there are some differences. One, the intensity and the pressure

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,679
is five hundredfold over a spring training game. There couldn't

13
00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:44,359
be anything more less stressful than a spring training game.

14
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: Really in an athletic event less stressing. Yeah, right.

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:54,719
Speaker 2: Number two, your body, whether it be the arm of

16
00:00:54,799 --> 00:00:58,560
the pitcher you swinging, is going to be different. When

17
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,840
you're playing in the middle of the season on an

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,840
eight fifteenth May fifteenth, June fifteenth, then it would be

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,519
in late February early March, and you can you can

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,480
get yourself ready for off season workouts, and you can

21
00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:10,319
go to the drills, you can go to spring training early.

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,719
You're just not going to be a body clock adjusted

23
00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:17,840
to playing at your very best or pitching at your

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,200
very best in a game in March, so you have

25
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,799
pitchers who may not be as sharp as they need

26
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,599
to be. Case in point, when Jose got hitting the

27
00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:28,280
rest and you're saying, well, okay, well that could certainly

28
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:28,959
happen spring training.

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,719
Speaker 1: Two. There's also a part I'm trying to think of the.

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: Parallel on this or the analogy, which you know, I'm

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:42,000
terrible about. If something happens wrong with your employees, at

32
00:01:42,079 --> 00:01:44,519
least it happened on your watch.

33
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,239
Speaker 3: Like an NFL player getting hurt in practice rather than

34
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:50,000
at the Pro Bowl, very very easily.

35
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:52,079
Speaker 2: But there are some things about if it was on

36
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:56,359
my watch and my clock. While I'm not happy about it,

37
00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:58,519
it makes better sense than if I send off Jose

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,200
L two B to go play with Team Bennets and

39
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,519
we say good luck, see in three weeks. I think

40
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,280
the Astros, and I know Carlos Kray would like to

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,599
play in WBC, but I think the Astros are hesitant.

42
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:10,759
They don't want to have to come back, you know,

43
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,919
because Carlos Crez is a huge part of this baseball team.

44
00:02:13,039 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: He just is.

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,879
Speaker 2: And especially if the boys this morning we're talking about this.

46
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,280
If Puerto Rico puts him as a shortstop, that does

47
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,520
him no good. He needs to play third base. Being

48
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,680
in the WBC and playing shorts, I don't know what

49
00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:29,599
the search up situation is Puerto Rican, I don't have

50
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,039
the roster in front of me here. Let me get

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,439
the Puerto Rican roster. He needs to play third base.

52
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,000
Playing shortstop does mean no good to get my guy

53
00:02:38,039 --> 00:02:39,199
ready for the start of the season.

54
00:02:40,159 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: They still come back in the middle of spring training,

55
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,639
don't they they do. I'm not going to.

56
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 3: I'm more I get more of the injury thing than

57
00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:51,560
the third short stop. The human body goes from light workout,

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,520
light workout, step it up, step it up big time WBC.

59
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:57,759
Then you get back to after playing WBC light workout,

60
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:05,360
light workout. They got from Cisco Lindor, Okay, it'd be fine.

61
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,560
Hey put them at second. Apparently they got Nolan Rana. Well,

62
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:09,639
Puerto Rico got a squad.

63
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:10,719
Speaker 1: Do you know what?

64
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,319
Speaker 2: You know what? Tell Carlos you didn't make the team,

65
00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:20,159
thanks for playing and Ross You're never gonna be able

66
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:21,919
to shake me of this. I don't care if there's

67
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,199
forty thousand people at DIIK in park and everybody's chanting

68
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,879
and playing their US and put in their international flags

69
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:30,439
out there, and I know the pomp and circumstance and

70
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,840
pageantry is amazing. I worry about big picture and I

71
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:41,240
worry about the Houston Astros, and I I just will

72
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,199
I I just can't change my stance, and I know

73
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,120
that maybe a detriment to I'm not telling you to

74
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:48,000
change yourself. No, I get it because as you said,

75
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,599
the intensity is gonna be higher, They're gonna play more innings,

76
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:52,919
probably get more at bats in the average. I don't

77
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:54,520
know what's gonna all add up in a crew too

78
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,639
in a spring training But as you said, where are

79
00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:59,120
you more likely to be pushing your body to the limit,

80
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:01,879
like trying to go and run to the outfield and

81
00:04:01,919 --> 00:04:04,159
rip a handstring or something like that. It probably more

82
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:07,039
in a WBC game than a spring training game. And

83
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,120
it can happen anywhere.

84
00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely, we're talking about not necessarily splitting hairs, but percentages

85
00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:17,160
of it's in a smaller increase an uptick in the

86
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:19,399
WBC but the spring training. But it's also not nothing.

87
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,920
And you don't watch and I don't watch the WC either.

88
00:04:24,519 --> 00:04:26,800
I don't get into it, but many of the players do,

89
00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:30,560
so that's that's kind of why it's their prerogative. Like

90
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:33,240
I don't care about I don't know the Olympic triple jumping.

91
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,079
That doesn't mean people don't care about the ross. There

92
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:35,560
are people.

93
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,199
Speaker 2: There are sporting events where the athletes care about something

94
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,680
and they don't think about the big picture.
