00:00my guess the simplest thing they do and roman roman holiday no i think that would be easy but

00:05obviously something's standing in the way of that they're manipulating his service time in some way

00:09shape or form the deadline is passed on the uh the seventh year of control right like they're

00:16in the clear with that myers up here prospects all over baseball are up there is still a way that he

00:21could uh shave that year back off if he finishes first or second rookie of the year i didn't realize

00:26this i was reading about this last night um and this has happened with a a number of prospects

00:31harris with atlanta won rookie of the year uh there were a few other players off top of my head i'm

00:35trying to remember who they were finished first or second the other one yeah rutschman might have

00:38been one of them first or second in rookie of the year voting even if you're you're after the deadline

00:43you can still get that year back towards free agency and so i'm sure they're playing around

00:47with that in some way shape or form the easy one i bet it doesn't make much of a difference but it's

00:51easy fire the hitting coach you know now what what that does nothing i don't think it does anything

00:56but i also don't really think he's doing anything positively or negatively i think it's more about

01:01the players but maybe you mix up the messaging they're probably not firing cora they should

01:06probably look at firing cora but they're probably not gonna fire him thing like it doesn't look like

01:11they're calling up roman anthony so does it change their philosophy at the plate though if you fire the

01:14coach you're still doing the the nonsense no jim rice was on the other night but maybe but maybe

01:19there's a difference in messaging i just i don't think i don't think the hitting coach does much

01:22either way so so fire the guy all right and i i wasn't beating the drum for this a couple of weeks

01:27ago but you gotta do you have to do something you have to do something doing nothing not an option no

01:33yeah so i think the obvious thing would be call broman anthony give that a couple of games you know

01:39marcelo meyer's been up and he's been doing the best he can but they're still losing with him up there

01:42so that happens with roman anthony then i think you have to go to the next more drastic thing

01:46which is either you reassigning trevor story i man i'd be surprised about the cora thing i i don't

01:53think that's i'm shocked that that cotillo even wrote that like i don't do you think that's in

01:58play cora isn't in jeopardy now i mean what does that even mean well does that mean in like a ref

02:03snyder we suck right now does that mean next year does that mean the offseason does that mean the

02:07all-star break like what does that mean would you bet that cora makes it through the year yes

02:10i would wager i never even thought i'd be on the board keith i lose bets like you read i mean i

02:15have slime out of my wallet i lose so many
