00:00They put me in this situation and, you know, they told me that they didn't want to allow me to play any other position.

00:08And now, you know, I think they should do their job, essentially, and hit the market and look for another player.

00:20I'm not sure why they want me to be in between the way they have me now.

00:25That's incredible.

00:26I mean.

00:27Hey, Craig, why don't you go do your job?

00:30Yeah.

00:30Hit the market.

00:31Get me a player.

00:32We got you players.

00:33And then you had to move position and you were mad about that.

00:36So if we get another player, how mad are you going to be?

00:37Go get a DH then.

00:39That is unbelievable.

00:40Is DH a position?

00:41Let's stop you right there.

00:42Quote unquote.

00:43Let's rewind that.

00:44He's like, I'm learning a new position.

00:45It's not a position.

00:47You're just hitting.

00:48You already hit.

00:49You're just doing less.

00:50They're actually asking you to do less.

00:52It's an unbelievable thing to be so concerned about.

00:54He's legit making it sound like he played third base, center field, and now they're asking him to catch.

00:59No, no, no.

00:59That's what he's making it sound like.

01:00Keith, he said it's a slippery slope.

01:02Like, pretty soon, if he plays first base, they're going to ask him to play out.

01:04So that was my favorite part.

01:05That's a great line.

01:05That was my favorite part because I say a lot of dumb stuff.

01:08That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

01:09Like, Devers, they're never going to ask you to play in the outfield.

01:11You don't have to worry about that.

01:13And why would they?

01:13An injury?

01:14Like, they actually have that covered.

01:16They got a bunch of outfielders.

01:17They don't have a bunch of first basemen.

01:18Go get me a goddamn first baseman.

01:20Desperate times call for desperate measures.

01:22That was Devers.

01:23That was Lou translating the Spanish.

01:24Yes, that was Devers.

01:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:25He was like, please go out and get somebody.

01:27Which is also funny because that's also burying the guys you have.

01:30Right?

01:30Like, that's just another shot at Romy.

01:32It's one thing for you and I to dump on Romy and Toro.

01:35That's what he's doing.

01:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:36We don't have a first base.

01:37Those guys are like, at least we're willing to play it.

01:39We're also third basemen.

01:41Isn't Romy and Toro both third basemen?

01:42Or at least came up as like shortstop third basemen?

01:44Who knows?

01:45Right, who knows?

01:45But they're willing to play first base.

01:46Of course they are.

01:47Marcelo Myers, willing to play first base.

01:49All these guys are willing to play first base, except for Devers.

01:52They're professionals.

01:53They're all, this guy's not a professional.

01:54He's a baby.

01:55Guy's a great hitter.

01:57Great might be strong.

01:58That's a stretch.

01:59Guy's a good hitter.

01:59He's a good hitter.

02:00Good hitter.

02:01He's good.

02:01He's a good hitter.

02:03And he makes a lot of money.

02:04No, but he is just a horrible, horrible teammate, and he's not a professional.

02:08They asked me to change positions.

02:10It's such a wild phrase, considering you went from third base, where half of your job is hitting,

02:15half of it is playing third.

02:17They said, don't worry about playing third.

02:18Yeah, just hit.
