00:00Congratulations to school bull and then you just kind of get into all right
00:06You know, what? What does this mean moving forward?
00:10Did school bull sneak up on anybody last year?
00:14And I and I mean that I don't mean I just mean on a start in style basis
00:20Did he have the respect where you were getting everybody's a game everybody's attention?
00:26Because he'd only once in his career
00:30Thrown more than 21 games started more than 21 games and that was his second season. He started 29
00:38Then it was 21 15 and then last year 31
00:43So it isn't a shock to us because we saw him have a 2.8 era and a 0.9 whip
00:49But it's seven and three had some injuries
00:53So I do think there's a little bit of an element of at the beginning of this season
01:00While he was living up to what we probably were aware of and I'm sure people in the game were but it's a little bit
01:05Different when you're the Cy Young Award winner
01:08He has your attention from day one next year, right?
01:11Without question he better
01:15He's he's outstanding and a workhorse and
01:20I think he's a player that wants more of a workload
01:23And yet I totally understand what the Tigers would be cautious with it because of all the injuries
01:28He's had in his career, but he is and they have to arm events at Seattle
01:32I think he did and then he's had a couple of things happen
01:37Since being a tiger and that's University of Seattle or Seattle University not the Mariners, correct?
01:42That's where he that's where he was in college for people don't know that's what I'm referencing
01:46Now I'm not saying that what hitters are taking him lightly. I think everybody knew he was good
01:51But I just think it hits different when you're facing the reigning American League Cy Young Award winner. Would you not agree?
01:57That it affects teams psychologically, yeah now does it affect it could it affect them negatively could they be like a holy crap
02:05This is the Cy Young guy. I mean, there's a professional hitters
02:09But it you know, you're facing the Cy Young Award winner you full attention
02:13I think it really depends on the individual
02:15I do I think some some rookies might feel that way might be a little star-struck at first and then okay
02:20I just struck out on four pitches. Let's let's get locked in here
02:24Mm-hmm. I don't know if that affects veterans. I imagine it might affect some it'll have different effects on different people
02:30I don't know if you can universally say one way or the other but
02:33We as fans when we can say that we've got the Cy Young Award winner in our team
02:37It feels pretty good. He can be chesty about it and because he is in his late 20s
02:42This is the prime of his career. And so we feel like this is gonna be here for a while. This is sustainable
02:48This is not a flash in the pan type thing
02:50This isn't some guy that showed up out of nowhere for one season or one half season lit the world on fire and then completely
02:58Disappeared this is a guy who you feel like okay. So starting with last year with
03:032023 that maybe through 2030 this guy could be the best pitcher in baseball
03:08so let's go back to our experience with this and
03:13when Justin Furlander
03:16Should we look at Justin Verlander when he was 28, or should we look at Justin Verlander in his
03:22Fifth fifth season probably his fifth season four or five. It's gonna be pretty good. Justin Verlander's fifth season. He went 19 and 9
03:323.45 era and a 1.18 whip. Okay scoob on his fifth season went 18 and 4
03:39239 era 0.9 to whip so scooble in his fifth season was better
03:45than Verlander in his fifth season and
03:50Verlander
03:52Under pitched a lot more in his five years a lot more than
03:56Then school because school has been banged up each each and every year feels like in Verlander had
04:00You know a couple starts that first year says real rookie year was 2006 when they went the World Series. It was good
04:06The next year and the year I made was the third year was when it really started to kick in but I mean he was
04:11Pitching 200 innings. Yeah
04:14So if you look back when JV won the Cy Young that was the first time that was yeah
04:22That was 2011
04:24It was a 2011. Hold on. Let me double-check. Yeah, it was 2011. So that's six years and it was yeah
04:29And that year he went 24 and 5 with a 2.4 era and a 0.92 whip
04:36Wow, look at that
04:38eras to era
04:40Scooble and his ear in his Cy Young or year
04:432.39 Verlander in his Cy Young year 2.4
04:49scoobles whip in his Cy Young year 0.92
04:54Verlander's whip 0.92
04:57Mm-hmm. The difference between era and whip is
05:01110th of a point on era. Do you have both guys up there so you can make the comparison?
05:05What about innings pitched innings pitched because I mentioned Verlander's like 240
05:11Verlander was 251 that year and scooble this year was
05:16192 see and this is today's baseball that you're
05:20Will school will get past 200 innings this upcoming season maybe but not much past it because that's just how managers are treating
05:28Pitchers now you they don't go later. It's not that long ago
05:32That Justin Verlander was routinely throwing
05:35230 260 innings a season, but that's not baseball anymore
05:40Crazy thing about Verlander is he went eight years after he won 24 games eight years before he won 20 again
05:48Didn't win 20 again till 2019 and he won the Cy Young again
05:52although I would say I would love to have that eight-year interim for scooble like winning the Cy Young and
05:59If he does after what you know, cuz Verlander still had some really good years mixed in
06:05Then there was some injuries
06:072015
06:09but he wasn't after winning the Cy Young it was
06:12He went from 24 wins to 17 to 13 to 15 to 5 to 16 to 10 to 5
06:19While that last 5 was with Houston. So I'm just talking about his time in Detroit
06:22I hope he doesn't have any kind of significant drop-off at this point scooble
06:26Oh, of course, of course not. Yep. And at the same time, I'm hoping they sign him to an extension, of course and that
