00:00You know, Manny Ramirez could have been hitting 150, and Manny Ramirez was like, you know what, my numbers are
00:05just my numbers.
00:05They are not a reflection of who I am as a player.
00:08But there are other guys who look at their stats, and it's like, well, you know what, if I'm, you
00:14know, you're as good as your last game type of thinking, right?
00:17And, you know, one thing Dave Roberts, when I kind of brought that up, he said, yeah, you know, in
00:20this case, kind of, you know, and Kyle Tucker's a nice guy.
00:23From what I, everything from what I've gathered, seems like a really kind of, you know, yeah, you know, dry
00:28sense of humor, but very kind of nice guy.
00:31And, you know, he doesn't kind of have that inner conceit, right?
00:34Where it's just like, oh, you know what, I'm just, I'm just awesome, right?
00:37Which, if we're going to be honest, a lot of times it makes these guys kind of like unpleasant people
00:40to be around, right?
00:41These kind of high-end alpha type of superstars.
00:45But it's, you know, that said, like, they don't go up and down emotionally because they think, like, doesn't matter.
00:50They could go for 30 and they're thinking they're going to hit a home run the next at bat, right?
00:55Whereas here, you know, and one thing that Dave Roberts brought up was like, yeah, Mookie Betts is kind of
00:59like that too, right?
00:59And we have seen Mookie kind of very publicly, you know, talk about kind of his struggles, right, mentally.
01:05And, you know, that's where I'll push back on all that.
01:08You're comparing Kyle Tucker to Manny Ramirez, who is one of the greatest right-handed hitters of all time.
01:14You're comparing Kyle Tucker to a four-time champion and an MVP.
01:18Kyle Tucker's never won the MVP and he's only hit 30 home runs twice in his career.
01:25So I feel like who you're describing, they are on the next level.
01:30And I'm not sure even at his best, Kyle Tucker's on that level.
