00:00like the pressure is going to be on him and so if he starts booting the ball around early in the

00:05season it's so much worse than years past because you actually have a replacement ready to go it's

00:11also because you were so adamant who are you going to bench him for nobody's asked him before if you'd

00:14move positions this has never come up before so now that everybody's gonna be watching him and so

00:19you know close game and he he commits a big error like that's gonna be the number one talking point

00:25until they do something about it uh cora was just asked about tristan cassis you want this yeah of

00:30course okay i don't think this rises to the last couple i don't want to over probably not but here's

00:35what he said i'll just read it he said he's had a night to think about what he's gonna say people

00:39sit here and we don't want to put limits on them he said what he said but at the end of the day

00:43we're in the winning business from my end we're gonna make decisions based on competition roster

00:48flexibility and versatility we're gonna try to take our 26 best guys to texas uh so that's more

00:53of what he said yesterday all right like similar to what he said yesterday it's about the team

00:57effectively more cora on cassis i played with guys who were very thoughtful in what they wanted to

01:03say in their opinions i don't know then there's this guy i played with kurt shilling he was very

01:09thoughtful and said his thing like he said his thing i don't know how thoughtful he was so we're

01:13comparing tristan costs to kurt shilling that's cora yeah all right so you think this is juicier

01:18than i was giving it credit for yeah okay how do you how do people view kurt shilling i mean not

01:21well uh people he's legit not in the hall of fame because he's like a psychopath off the field he's

01:27a great player all his ex-teammates you know can't stand him for very valid reasons not just political

01:33put that to the side but like you know telling people about tim wakefield and his health

01:38yeah which is awful so now he's kurt shilling uh people will express what they feel okay so i like

01:44where you're going with this this is juicier than i thought i would say so people will express what

01:48they feel some people are going to agree some people aren't going to agree some people are

01:51going to like it others aren't at the end of the day we like the first baseman he's going to play

01:55and he's going to hit but he is comparing him to shilling yeah that's tough and if kurt shilling

01:59wasn't winning 20 games for you it wasn't dominating i think a lot of guys would want him around
