00:00They're not going to play them versus lefties.
00:01Dumb.
00:02It's so dumb.
00:03And one thing if your team was a wagon and you're like, hey, these guys are going to spot in here
00:08and they're sort of complimentary players for a potential World Series team,
00:12you are not that.
00:14You are not that right now.
00:15You are still several games under .500.
00:18And if the whole idea of these guys not starting the year with the exception of Campbell
00:22with the big league club was so they could get at bats and play every day,
00:25they should get at bats and play every day.
00:27I don't care if you're going up against Randy Johnson.
00:30It doesn't matter.
00:32These guys eventually are going to be hopefully all-star players that aren't platoon guys.
00:37They're going to have to hit lefties.
00:38Well, and this is what I don't get either.
00:40I've heard Lou say this.
00:41I heard Cora say this, I think, prior to the game yesterday, where, oh, well,
00:45there are no lefties in the minors.
00:47All the good lefties get promoted really quickly, and so Roman Anthony hasn't seen anything like this.
00:50Okay, I've heard that.
00:51But it's like, all right, well, now when are they ever going to learn?
00:54If you don't play them against them, when are they ever going to learn against them?
00:56We're going to have Rob Refsner hit for all of those guys.
00:58Right, no, the way to learn to hit lefties that you've never faced before is to just rot on the bench
01:05when these lefties are in there?
01:06How does that make sense?
01:06I disagree.
01:07And if you want to hit them 7, 8, 9 or whatever in those games or whatever,
01:11whatever it might be, but they need to take some hacks against those lefties.
01:15Yeah, and I think there's a difference, too, in what happened the other night,
01:17where a tough lefty comes in and you go, all right, we're going to take Marcelo Meyer out.
01:21Yeah, he's already had four.
01:23Meyer only had one or two, but in extras, we're going to take Roman Anthony out.
01:25Two are bats that game.
01:26And there is something different about a lefty specialist coming in versus a lefty starter.
01:31You're not going to play against lefty starters?
01:32Oh, if you are tie game bottom of the 10th inning and there's like a lefty closer
01:36or reliever on the mound, runner on second, and you want to put Rob Refsner up there
01:41who has been smashing lefties, fine.
01:44But are you going to sit them down until you get into the bullpen?
01:47I don't like that.
01:48Honestly, the one positive of being where they're at right now, 33 and 36,
01:56would be play these guys every night.
