00:00Oh, how do you feel about that?
00:01So they have three weeks or whatever until the first regular season game
00:05But it is obnoxious that you have your 300 million dollar guy who made a big deal about not moving off a third base
00:12Not doing what's best for the team but doing what's best for himself, but he's also not even ready to go
00:16Like showing up
00:18Out of shape or showing up kind of banged up from what like what what's the problem here?
00:23Like modern day athletes are supposed to be in shape all year round
00:28Yeah way back in the day
00:30Sure, you use spring training or you use training camp to get into shape
00:34But those guys also had other jobs and they weren't making 300 million dollars
00:37So it's just annoying and we've seen what can happen
00:40When a guy gets off to a slow start it wasn't due to injury, but jeremy swayman and the bruins
00:46They dragged out the contract thing
00:48he wasn't able to go opening day, but he played in the second game and then he and the team just
00:53Couldn't get out of their own way and then we're kind of in this situation now
00:57So i'll give you another one
00:58We it came up and we were talking about swayman the other day and he's the guy the patriots have been linked to brandon
01:02Ayuk, it was also contract related. It wasn't injury related. He had a tough year. The guy had no offseason
01:07He got off to a slow start once he started to hit his stride. He got hurt
01:10There's probably correlation there when you don't go through the offseason the way you're supposed to same thing with jeremy swayman
01:16Same thing with this guy jordan montgomery blake snell
01:18They're both pitchers, but they signed right before the season and there there's a lost year for both of them. They're both terrible
01:24And it's march 5th, so we still have some time but
01:28Really not ideal. Like how are you not ready to go yet?
01:31And then how long is this going to go baseball players seemingly always take forever
01:34So if you're not ready now, like when what are you gonna be ready?
01:37Yeah, and I would just I would just file it under something that that certainly isn't good news
01:42Like you can tell me it's it's not a huge deal
01:44You can tell me that what you just said keith
01:46There's still a lot of time to sort this out. Like i'll allow for all of that
01:49Don't tell me it's good news in any way how about he's behind schedule spin it. Yeah, go ahead spin into a uh,
01:55a good news scenario
01:56This is what you use to convince him that he's just going to be a dh and you say all right
02:01You're going to work your way back
02:03Just focus on what you can do hitting wise. We don't want any kind of setbacks in the field
02:07Don't even worry. Don't even don't even put your glove on it doesn't make any sense
02:11Everything you're doing from this moment forward is going to be about being the best hitter. You can be possible
