Mike, Jason, I could use a virtual hug. We all know this as dads, we're all the dads listening. Nothing more painful than when you're coaching your kid's team and they lose.
What makes Shohei Ohtani a unique player in baseball history?
We had our rec league playoff game last night. I knew we were the underdog. We were up 1-0 in the top of the first and led the entire game until they walked it off against us in the bottom of the fifth. We lose 4-3. And my wife after asked me, so were the kids crying? I said no, but I was on the verge of doing so. Couldn't sleep until 1 in the morning. Tossing and turning. Should I put this guy in right field? Maybe I should have moved the lineup around. There's nothing better and also nothing worse.
Yeah, let's dive deep into this because we were just criticizing Marty St. Louis for not having in-game adjustments yesterday as the Habs couldn't muster any offense. What changes could you have made, Adnan, that kept you up until 1 o'clock in the morning?
Well, the key, Mike and Jay, as you guys know, they call it rec league baseball estates.
What historical records are being challenged by Christopher Sanchez?
I think back home we call it house league, right? Meaning it's for fun. You're supposed to rotate guys through. So the rule is at least one inning, a kid, exactly. At least one inning, a kid plays in the infield. And of course everyone bats. And I noticed on their team, Ozzie Smith was playing shortstop because they did not rotate any of their players. So I should have appealed and said, Hey man, you can't play your best players all the time in the infield. You're supposed to rotate. But, I put my worst player in right field. And, of course, as you guys know, the ball will find you. That is where the ball went. And I emphasize, Mike, I told these kids in the outfield, just keep the ball in front of you. It's okay if they get a hit.
What are the implications of the upcoming NHL Entry Draft for the Vancouver Canucks?
But, of course, the ball bounded past him. Then he slipped. His throw was a wet noodle. And they inside the park run to beat it. It's absolutely.
So, this is funny. This is amazing. In the Little League, I don't coach Little League anymore. But when I coached, one of the technical directors or whatever came up with this idea that every week you were going to have what he called a developmental game. And that was flip your batting order so the kids that are normally at the bottom go to the top and make sure that the kids that don't pitch get to pitch. I do that. Yeah. So, of course, there's the one coach who decided to take issue with the notion of development. He's like, well, I am developing my best players, and that's why they're all pitching against you tonight. I'm like, come on, man.
Who are the top prospects that the Canucks should consider drafting?
The kid up there, I don't even know if he's right or left-handed. That's how poorly he throws.
