From the Burke shears to the sound from wherever you live in MLB America. This is inside the Parker. You give us twenty two minutes and we'll give you the scoop on major League Baseball. Now here's Baseball Hall of Fame voter number fifty seven.

You have another hot take.

Will not NOC make the playoffs show? Hey me the money, Rob Parker.

Come on, I've been covering Major League Baseball for almost forty years now, in New York, in Cincinnati, in Detroit, in LA.

I love this game. Let's go. Welcome into the podcast.

I'm your host, Rob Parker, and what a show we have for you today on tap. Coming up, Cleveland Guardian's pitcher Tristan mackenzie joins us. Also from WFAN in New York, Keith McPherson.

He drops by, let's go better up to lead off. It's getting rocked to keep him. Rob's hot take on the three biggest stories in Major League Baseball.

Number one, Washington Nationals left fielder James Wood has arrived. Yes he has. We saw that in the first two games against the Dodgers down in DC. In that series where Wood hit three home runs, all against lefties in the first two games, and coming into Wednesday he had four home runs, ten rbi, batting two seventy five and was balling out. He's, as advertised. The Washington Nationals very high on him. He was the hidden gym in that trade with the Padres. You remember when they gave up Juan Soto, James Wood was in it. And for the Nationals, He's the perfect star. Big strong handed swinger, home run hitter from suburban Maryland.

He's a local kid.

You want to talk about trying to sell somebody and have them be the face of your organization moving on. Nothing better than a big, strong, left handed home run hitter who's local. So listen out and watch out for James Wood all year.

Man.

He's six foot seven, probably should have played basketball, but he's a great baseball player, a young up and coming star in Major League Baseball.

Number two.

The Toronto Blue Jays they anted up and rightfully sold for Vladimir Guerrero Junior.

That's right.

A fourteen year extension for five hundred million dollars. Don't scratch your head. It makes total sense. That's like thirty five million dollars a year. Okay, I know you look at fourteen years and you say, oh my god, how they gonna pay somebody that long.

You're not worried about that.

If he gives you eight good years and you can win a World Series and have that production, and then that contract eight or ten years from now, thirty five million dollars will be nothing.

This is good to be able to keep one of your own.

He just turned twenty six. This guy's led the major leagues in home run, he's won a Gold Glove, He does a lot of stuff. You gotta sell tickets. This is baseball. You can't let all your star players go because you don't want to pay their lucky The ceiling or the big price was seven hundred and sixty five right by Juan Soto, and you got them for five hundred, not for six hundred or seven hundred. For five hundred, that's a bargain. We saw Oltani get seven hundred, We saw Sodo get seven sixty five. I know all players are trying to get as much as they can. Five hundred is a great price, long term deal. And guess what the Blue Jays are set at first base or DH for the next ten years.

Good deal on both sides. Number three.

The Cincinnati Reds have their race for years to come.

His name is Hunter Green.

The only thing that really has derailed Green with injuries the last couple of years, but when he's out there, he's as good as anybody. Recently, he had his five hundred strikeout, which he became the fastest Reds pitcher the five hundred k's, and then we saw him pitch are Jim this past week eight and two thirds against the red hot San Francisco Giants. He gave up four hits, only an eight and two third innings, no runs, and only one walk and that walk was the last battle before he was taken out of the game and he got the win. He lowered his eer Rader one point three to one. And don't forget the way he finished last season where he was so good after coming back from injury and pitching down the stretch that he was mentioned for National League Cy Young. He was in that race because he was so good. Hunter Green is a stud pitcher and we'll see him for a while. The Red's gotta be thrilled to have an ace at the top of their rotation for years to come. And he's been signed long term, so the Reds got a gem in Hunter Green.

Here comes the big interview. Listen and learn. It's so good.

All right, let's welcome in Tristan Mackenzie, of course pitcher for the Cleveland Guardians. Tristan, thanks for joining the podcast.

My pleasure, thank you for having me always.

My man.

Uh, let's just talk about you when the start of the season. How are you feeling this year?

Yeah, biggest thing is health. Feeling healthy, feeling strong, ready to go out there and just try and get some mouths for the voice.

And of course this year you're in the bullpen and start. Just talk about the chain you have to make from being a starter to a reliever and a mindset.

Yeah, I mean, I think the preparation is a lot more structured from a starter stack. From a starter aspect, you have like a routine. You know that I'm throwing on this specific day, so you have four days leading up to it to get your mind right, get your body right. Whereas as a reliever you have to have more of a concise routine. You have to know that I need this certain amount of pitches to get my body ready in a short amount of time to get ready to go out there and get some.

Mouths, and you know, when you're a starter, obviously it's once every fifth day. But as a reliever, you might not pitch as long obviously, but but you could pitch a few days. What's the difference there about getting your arm ready?

Yeah, I mean, I think it's just staying ready on a day to day basis and figuring out what makes you feel good every day. I feel like as a starter, the highs and lowser are a lot larger, whereas you're not throwing as many pitches out of the pen, so you're not getting as sore. But it's more about maintaining that soreness and figuring out, like what you're going to throw through, what feels good it doesn't then what you really need to hit on.

And last year, you know, if it's not wasn't a injury struggled you got sent to the miners last Yune? What was that?

Like?

I mean, it was just a tough year in general, just trying to figure out coming back from injury in twenty three, just trying to figure out like what I felt like, what I look like on the mountain, just kind of redefining my identity. And I think that's why this move has been made this year and going to the pen has kind of helped me find myself a little bit more.

Yeah, when you went through it though, I mean, did you gotta be a little down or depressed a little bit? You know what I mean? You've had success in the big leagues and you go to the miners, you know, and you know you have to work on stuff.

How did you work through that?

I mean, I think, like the game is a game. I think it's built for us to fail. So I never I never took me failing out there as anything more than like, that's what the game, That's what the game required to me. And I think everybody's got to feel at some point. So just figuring out a way to fight through adversity and figure out what makes me good and getting back to where I was to be.

Our guess is Tristan McKenzie. Of course, pitch it with the Cleveland Guardians, And as you look into this season, is there a timetable? Is there some sort of formula is where you'll get back to being a starter or what is the game plan?

I mean I have no thought process forward like that. I think it's trying to be where my feet are every day and figuring out, figuring out like how I'm able to have success today, whether that be and my catch play, whether that be in my bullpen routine, whether that be a bullpen outing, just going out there and figuring out how to have some success there.

And is there more pressure as a believer because the impact of what you do when you're brought in is huge, not that as a starter it isn't, but you figure got innings to pitch, and you could pitch out of jams. As a reliever, you really don't have that luxury.

Yeah, I definitely think it's a little bit different in terms of like the level of stress when you're coming into the game initially. I think as a starter, you kind of have some time to work into it, and you also have like a longer period of time to kind of adjust to your maladies if something bad happens, whereas like a reliever, it's like do or die. But I think it's also like you embrace that that energy, embrace that pressure, You embrace that almost anxiety or that that excitement you get knowing that like that adrenaline like oh I got to come in here and do my job.

How about this team this year. It's good to have high expectations. Obviously, Josh Naila was traded. What was that like to I know, he's one of your close guys of friends on the team.

Yeah, I mean losing him, losing him hurt just as a friend. But I think just knowing what the team is capable of what we did last year, knowing that we have a majority of the same pieces this year, maybe an addition of a Santana or maybe some bullpen arms. Just knowing that we're gonna be the same team. We're gonna go out there and compete. So I'm excited for.

How about the division. Obviously, the Tigers came back roaring last year. The Twins are usually in the mixed Kansas City it's it's tough.

Yeah, I mean, I think the White Sox are even going to be I don't think they can be as bad as they were last year, and I think they already looked better. And I think around the division, you're seeing Kansas City with Bobby Witt really play up. You're seeing Detroit at the end of there, especially having a guy like Schooble and some of their young stars. I think the Central is really competitive and I think we're overlooked a lot in the past, and I think last year kind of opened some people's eyes. So we're excited to have some competition with on our division and kind of show the rest of the league what we can.

Do, all right, Tristan Mackenzie, appreciate you joining us here on Inside the Parker.

Thank you, my man, Thank you for having me up. In case you missed Rob Parker on the MLB Networds, here's his latest appearance on Pamlbina The Showdown.

Rob Parker's weekly for us here on the show, always on the program. Always great to have him.

Special day. You're at your.

Old high school in Queens, New York right now, Rob, and there's our young Rob Parker right behind you. You're in a mural in your own high school.

That's huge. Congratulations, Thank you so much.

BK Yes, Martin Van Buren High School here in Queen's Village, graduated here in nineteen eighty two, and they have a new media work room where kids can do podcasts and all kinds of stuff. We want to get it interested in the media. So I came to check it out first time.

That's Madeline Kahn, right, Madeline Excellent High School.

Donnie Deutsch is all the way to the right, Donnie Deutsch, you know that name?

Yep. And Spike Lee's there, he did not go to Van Buren.

And then the other guy is a writer who used to write the Old Odd Couple of TV shows.

Really they allt to Van Buren except for Spike. So why Spike there? I don't know. Spike got that big I guess.

Should be the Rob should be Rob Parker High School. That's what I think I'm going with that, right, although Madelin KHN High School sounds good too from back in the day. And the biggest wait, the guy who wrote the Odd Couple.

All right, that's that's huge.

Good for you?

All right?

Uh, you know this is the start of the showdown should be? I told you because we.

Had a list of time. I got a little list from Rob what.

He wants to talk about, and so I told you about what the padres winning the West.

So you're still going there, right, I am looking where the padres on.

They've had some injuries and then a first team to ten wins last year. You know this, BK. They choked against the Dodgers. They should have had to beat.

Had him beat yeah, had him on the canvas, Dodgers taken account, should have been over there.

You know what.

They're a different team though, they're a good team.

And I know what you mean.

Look at this point, the Dodgers deserve to be the bad guys. They're doing a global hedge fun takeover. But they have very few issues. Rob That's still a very good and their bullpen is deeper than it's ever been.

There's no doubt about it.

I mean, I know they're gonna win a lot of games.

I'm just saying.

I saw in DC, though, I gotta admit sloppy fielding, some misplays in the infield.

It ain't automatic. Yeah, you know that. You gotta button up all those things. We saw the bullpen.

They had to go go to the minor leagues to get a starting picture against Washington.

Gave up home runs, you know what I mean, gave up run I saw it.

Look last week would they the game that they beat the Braves when the Braves still didn't have a win. They looked terrible for three innings. I mean they look like they were like just waking up or something. Here's where they ranked, though, I I wanted to do a general snapshot because.

Guys are hitting.

They've got like, you know, Will Smith is hitting five hundred, Mookie's hitting show as hitting, Confordo is hitting, taoscar is hitting their seventh in runs per game, a seventh in overall hitting. Base running is a little below league average.

There's the weakness there. Defense. They are an older club.

They don't have Freddie Freeman right now, right so like that's a superstar they don't have.

Let they look weak.

You mentioned the base running show.

Hay had the biggest blunder I've seen in baseball on a long time. Runners on first and third, two outs, Mookie bets.

Up the tying run and why isn't your second base?

And is thrown out, ends the inning, and then Mookie doubles the lead off the ninth. You cannot have that. That's bad base running, and then dakes can bite you.

You're making sense.

Look, there's a reason there's a mural of you in your high school. You know that reminds me of I go into Detroit Tiger's camp a bunch of years ago for spring training, and up on the on the wall the mural is, of course mister Tiger al Kline, who comes walking around the corner, al Kline himself. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. That's what the kids feel like seeing you now, Rob.

I don't know if.

I'm olklne Hey the Hall of Fager, but it is great to be here at my high school and be able to you know, I've sat in these same classrooms and my dream was to be a sports writer and guess bu r if it happened.

All We went over next year's free agent class a few minutes ago, Rob, hope you got to see a little bit of that. And we've had people wonder, hey, how will the Vladimir Guerrero contract affect Pete Alonso who signed very late and has an opt out. But to me, I'm not I don't think Alonzo's competing with Vladimir Guerrero. He's competing with Josh Naylor. Naylor and Alonzo are much more similar.

Yeah, I think Pete people are gonna re examine Pete.

I think he got the short end of this thing.

I would have never resigned with the Mets when they didn't want to pay him. The Mets had seven hundred and sixty five million dollars for Juan Soto, but they really didn't have any money for Pete. Nobody hit bigger home runs in the postseason than Pete Alonso.

He's carried the mess you can't.

Take You're right, but you can't take it personally. If that, I think he went best offer Mets. He's got a high aav they are paying him short time.

I just I would have taken less to go somewhere else.

You taking it very personally, you can't do that.

Because they wouldn't have made They wouldn't have made the playoff run that they made without Pete's home runs and no question to unbelievable.

And he's their own guy, and he's been successful at every level, working up all that. But it's like in The Godfather. You know you're taking this very personal. You can't take it personal.

But also he's two things that I love about Pete. He's available, he doesn't get hurt, he plays, and he plays under the pressure of new York. Everybody can't play in New York, so you got to give him some credit.

But after his rookie season, here's like the bottom line, he's slugging just under five hundred. If he's slugging six hundred, now he's looking at hundreds of millions of dollars. But he's just not not over the last few years. Sorry, last thing I know, you see Cody Bellinger giving up chicken wings. Like every time we do a bet, you're saying, b ker you and me chicken wings. I always grab my stomach. I go, no, thank you. Bellinger's right, no more chicken.

Wings, are you?

He's crazy. Let me tell you something, Bellinger.

If he gives up the chicken wings, what I'll say is more for us. I'll eat all the wings that Bellinger's not gonna eat, cause.

Chicken wings are a part of my diet. I must have all flat Pauma John and a diet cocon with you.

You'll get it there in Queens, by the way, that's that's a lol gans. They're tell me just want to get this right, odd couple.

That's big.

You are in terrific company there, Rob, great having you back on the show. Thank you so much enjoy queens always.

Thank you, b Kem. We'll see you next week. When Rob was a newspaper columnist, he lived by this motto, if I'm writing, I'm ripping. Let's bring in a writer or broadcaster, old or new.

Now let's welcome into the podcast one of my favorite guys on the radio, Keith McPherson from w f A N in New York.

Keith Man, thanks for joining the podcast here. What up?

Rob?

Thanks for having me Man.

Good to see you, no doubt always and uh great to listen to you on the radio.

Uh you always got stuff to talk about. And I love your love for baseball.

So let's jump into it with both New York baseball teams. First, I want to say I thought the mess did Pete Alonzo dirty? I really did. They really didn't offer him the kind of contract.

I think that he deserved.

And so far in the start of the season he's been lights out for the Mets.

Yeah, I mean me, not being a a Mets fan and being a Yankee fan, I got no reason to hate on Pete, and so the whole offseason, I'm like, you gotta pay that man. This man is about to be your all time home run leader. You got to pay that man. He's been the face of the franchise. He's been there through all these different managers and owners and different iterations of that clubhouse. And you know the way he started off earlier this season, it's clear that, you know, just a little bit of security, a little bit of money. I've been on the air calling him paid Pete. You know, he's a different man now that he's papered up. He's got fifteen RBI. This guy is hitting home runs, hit a Grand Slam, and all to talk about Juan Soto, the highest paid player in the history of all sports, it's been Pete Alonso, the guy that they can rely on.

Well, let's go there to a Wan Sodo. Of course, a big catch for the Metropolitans. They get them seven hundred and sixty five million dollars, not a fake NFL contract or anything.

This is real dollars. He's gonna get every single nickel.

What's been the reception of a Wan Soto, obviously moving from the Bronx to Queens.

Yeah, well, you know, the Yankee fans, A lot of Yankee fans are scoring lovers, a lot of Yankee fans are tight about it. They feel some kind of way about it. They're hating on Juan Soto and the Mets, But you know, Yankee fans been hating on the Mets since they began. So with Juan Soto, I think so many people were expecting them to come out and hit home runs, so many people were expecting them to come out and be dominant. They started calling him Juan Soso because his performance has been so so.

But he's got a you know, on bass streak.

He's getting on base, he's working his walks, he has driven some runs in it's gonna come. It's been freezing cold, so you can't, you know, you can't really look at these guys and judge them when they're out there with you know, ski cat and long sleeves and trying to warm up. You know, it's so early in baseball. Eventually they're gonna they're gonna cut this part of the season off and short in the season. But Juan Soto has been Juan Soto from what I saw from him last year.

The power numbers will come, let's go here.

The expectations, the realistic expectations of the Mets when you think about it. Keith the National league is strong here we are earlier in the season and the Dodgers are in third place in the NL West. I mean, you talk about the Giants are good so far. You talk about the Padres. We know about the Phillies, we know about the Braids, we know about the Mets. Even though the Braids are off to a shaky start. There are a lot of good teams in the National League. Does this team make it to the World Series?

Nah, They're not making it to the World Series.

And I know I sound like a hater, but like they are getting by right now with Clay Holmes and Griffin Canning and Tyler McGill and David Peter and Kodi Sanga. Their bullpen has been the best in baseball. They've been in lights out phenomenal. Shot out to Mendoza managing that pen. But you know, there's gonna come a stretch of the season where they're not playing against the Marlins. They've had two series against the Marlins. There's gonna come a stretch of the season where they're not playing against the Blue Jays. You know they're gonna face some teams that have an axe to grind in their division. Right they knocked off the Braves. They knocked off the Phillies last year. And they're gonna face some teams with some star power, you know, like the Dodgers, and even like the Giants have made some noise, the Diamondbacks have made some noise.

The Brewers have.

Figured it out after getting swept their first series. Like there are teams in the National League the Cubs, there are teams in the National League with some star power too, that are gonna want to go toe to toe with them and have better starting pitching than them. Where it's gonna come down to, you know, if you have an ace or not that can get you through five, six, seven innings. And I don't know if they have those guys, and I don't know how long their bullpen is gonna hold. Their pitching has been ahead of their their lineup right there. They've been able to win games three to two, two to one, two nothing. That's not gonna hold all year. You're gonna have to put.

Up some runs. So I don't think they're a World.

Series team this year, but I do think they can be a postseason team, a playoff team. It's hard enough in the Mets history for them to go back to back years making the postseason, so I think they can get the wild card again.

Our guest is Keith McPherson, of course, radio host of WFAN in New York, the original all sports station in this country. Let's go to the Bronx, Bombers and the Yankees, and of course Aaron Judge got off to a fantastic start. And the crazy thing is when you look at the numbers between him and Babe Ruth in the same amount of games and they had identical home runs. When you see that, it tells you where he fits in historically. He's got to be one of the greatest sluggers that we've ever seen in baseball.

They were a couple of stats with Babe Ruth somewhere with Garrig and DiMaggio. And we laugh as Yankee fans, especially as young Yankee fans that have you know, we've never even kind of.

Seen, you know, the old days, and like.

We we almost look at those as like fables and fairy tales, like yeah, you know, it sounds good, and you know they were this good back then.

But Judges this good right now. And what I'm hoping for.

Judge is that he does statistically have his best season, another MVP season, and he could just do it in October.

Here's the other question.

Last thing on the Yankees and their expectations. Obviously, they went to the World Series for the first time since two thousand and nine. People have not counted them out, even though you know, you lose your ace pitcher for the year. But they did sign Max Freed and they have other pictures. Do they have enough pitching in the al to make it out and get back to the World Series and try to win a World.

Series right now?

No?

Right now?

No.

The same way I just went through the names pitching for the Mets.

You got Carlos Carrasco going out there, and Carlos Carrasco is.

At the end of his career. He's you know, Cookie is about done.

You have Will Warren, who is a whole rookie, he's still at single digit starts in Major League Baseball. You have guys like Marcus Stroman going who in the offseason, all the conversation was, they're trading him, They're trading them, They're trading him. And he didn't pitch in October and was shut down for a lot of the end of the season. So like you're relying on that. Carlos Rodan is shaky, and then you mentioned Max Freed. Max Freed, I mean, Yankee fans are glad to have him because he's an ace. When you lose Cole he is an ace. He's gotten all the run support, but there's going to come a time where he's got to hold it down and he's not getting run support.

The bullpen has been solid, but at the.

Same time, you know they're signing Adam Ottavino, dropping him bringing them back. They're relying on guys like Ryan Yarborough who was cut. They're kind of patching this thing together and waiting for guys to come back. You need to solid starters in October to get you through.

No doubt. He is Keith McPherson. He knows the game of baseball. Listen to him on wf in New York. Man, Keith appreciate it, loved it.

Thank you, my man, Rob you the man, appreciate you.

Keep doing your thing, Bro, It's time for the pocket protector centrum. The analytic numbers. You need to know.

Well, maybe Anthony Masterson is his name, BS, analytics is his game.

What do you got for me, Anthony?

It would be easy to talk about torpedo bats and what they're doing for the game so far in twenty twenty five, but that's last week's news. What's interesting to me through the first two weeks is the new metrics we have for batter stands and positioning. Yeah, I know, I'm a hoot at parties. Like most new metrics through stat Cast, the stance metrics are things we always learn growing up. Hey, close your stands, put your feet farther apart, scoop back in the box, et cetera. But with official data now provided for it, you can find out how deep a batter is in the box, how far from the plate, the distance between their feet and their stance angle. Now on the outset, the info might not tell you a lot, but look at players who maybe struggled last year and have started strong this year, you can see where some of the adjustments were made. Look no further than former number one pick of the Tigers, Spencer Torkelsen. Torque scuffled so mightily last season he was sent back down to Triple A and left off the playoff roster. Now, looking at his feet from last year, he's moved back in the box over five inches moved back off the plate two inches, brought his feet ten inches closer together, and opened up his stands nearly fifteen degrees. That resulted in improvements from a two to nineteen average and just ten homers last year to a three to eleven mark and already three homers this year. He didn't hit his third homer last year until May nineteenth, New Year, new metrics, New lease on life for certain players.

No, this is boloon. It's the Parker pushback. Shut hear, Rob tackles the outlandish takes in Major League Baseball. You idiot, shut up.

I'm pushing back at all those baseball fans who were mad at Cincinnati Red shortstop Elie de la Cruz for trying to bunt in a game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Where sure, the Brewers pitcher had a no hitter through five innings, but this was the sixth inning of a game. The Reds were coming off three straight one nothing losses. They had no offense going talking about it's an unwritten rule. You don't bunt during a no hitter.

You don't button the ninth inning. If a guy has a no hitter, you gotta swing the bat. I'm with that that unwritten rule.

But in the sixth inning of a game where your team needs to spark and you need to do something to get on base and give your team a chance. Come on, man, you guys are getting too crazy with this. The idea that one of the fastest guys in baseball can't button the sixth inning because his team is being.

No hit what. The game was far from over.

Ellie day La Cruz was in legal right to bunt do whatever he wanted to do to get on base during that time. Man, Come on, it's baseball, belly aken. Stop trying to help people get no hitters. And the ninth inning is one thing. The rest of the game, all bets are off.

Make way for weekend wagers.

Yo, it's shabo. Fire up those bed naps, let's go. Let's get into it in week three. And you know week two was fired two and zero. Go ahead and market in the books.

Three wins up, one win down, and we're gonna keep that hot streak going this week as we visit the Bronx. And you know it wouldn't be right if we're not taking plus money dogs and the San Francisco Giants are them.

Go ahead and take Robbie Ray on Friday. Two wins, zero losses so far, and I'm sorry to do this to our fellow mal marauder Marcus Stroman, but the Black ace has not looked good and those bats are not swinging for the Yankees, and we're gonna stay there on Saturday. Go ahead and bet on the young black age.

Short and hits.

Yes, we're taking the Giants back to back in the Bronx. Take that plus money again for the hottest him in baseball, looking for that number one spot in the NL West. Bending on the Giants all weekend long, and we see y'all next week. Mlbbro dot Com Inside the Parker Hi.
