00:00the white socks very much alive very much uh you know in the central fighting what a turnaround
00:07all things being equal the white socks end up making the postseason this year might be one of
00:13the most unbelievable turnarounds that we have seen in a very very long time here uh i i would
00:19put it on par with that's like waking up being like hey the rockies are in playoff like wait a
00:24what it's kind of amazing what they've done here in just uh you know 12 to uh 12 to 16
00:32months
00:32yeah if you think about it joe the last time that we thought the white socks were going to be
00:39like
00:39this was i'm going to go back probably four or five years ago when uh if you remember tony larusso
00:47was
00:47the manager for a year for the white socks joe do you remember that eloy jimenez and yohan mancada
00:53uh and louise robert right like those were the guys that were going to take the white socks into
00:59the the next period of greatness that never happened they got rid of all of them
01:03and the way that i would summarize the white socks a little bit amongst major league baseball fans
01:08is pretty anonymous they don't have a lot of players that the average fan can name
01:13and their pitching staff joe which has been very good and i know burke pitched very well today
01:17a lot of people don't know who these guys are like davis martin it's not like where did they even
01:23find a lot of these guys so it leads me to believe that uh there's some regression maybe coming for
01:30them i i i do think cleveland is better than them and i do think cleveland's going to win the
01:34division
01:34but to your point uh will venable may win manager of the year in the american league i think if
01:39if they
01:40make the playoffs he will but i i don't see them as a major threat uh what's really impressive also
01:46for
01:46them is that the offense which was so good april and may they lost murakami and and hung around for
01:53a while like murakami may have been the best signing of anybody this off season but when he
01:56was out they hung around because this kid colson montgomery was so good too so maybe joe i i just
02:03don't think and i'm not asking the white socks to make crazy moves here in the next couple days
02:07but without that joe do you really think they're as good as cleveland i don't i i think the guardians
02:12are better and so but i i could see it battling to the end but you're right credit to them
02:17even if
02:17they only win 83 84 games still a surprise season and they're in to think of it and nobody gave
02:24them
02:24a shot it's just it's a very good story and it's what baseball is all about is giving teams an
02:30opportunity to turn around in a year and yeah nobody's saying you're not going to win 100 games
02:35but you know what you're in the postseason you're playing extra baseball which can't be said for a lot
02:40of other teams uh that have been absolutely horrific so uh i was gonna say i thought you
02:45were gonna say like i have to go back to the last night of white socks were good i thought
02:49you were
02:49gonna say uh like greg lazinsky i thought you were really gonna go back there so i i thomas like
02:55i i
02:56was like how far back is he gonna go uh here with this no but no joe don't you remember
03:02you remember
03:02when they had eloy jimenez and mancada like that wasn't that long ago 2020 2021
03:09they had chris sale too right but that's how they go but that's how they got mancada and uh i
03:14don't
03:14remember all the guys in that deal but but i know that they got a bunch of guys in that
03:18deal too
03:18but since then remember also two years ago they fired uh kenny williams who was their gm for like
03:2420 years and they brought in chris getz he was getting ripped apart in the media oh he doesn't
03:29know what he's doing i mean getz gets is in line to be executive the year too that murakami signing
03:35joe is one that like like the yankees in particular you know i hate talking about the
03:40yankees all the time but the yankees in particular got to be kicking themselves man like that that was
03:44a perfect guy for that park and he didn't even get a lot of money to play with them you
03:49know like
03:50what did he get for the white socks two years 20 million or something like that like this guy's
03:53a hundred million dollar player it looks like yeah so exactly so so anybody could have signed
03:59really white socks did yep yeah
