We are back. We got new managers getting hired. We got a manager search still going on free agents opt-outs opt-ins Let's do it What's going on everybody welcome back to talking baseball the first official kind of off-season Episode and we're gonna find our own gears here Obviously this show has not had an off-season Episodes as we go, but we are excited to figure out what it is how it works and all that my name's John Boy I'm coming to you from New Jersey. I got my co-host Jake coming from Denver Rockin a Knicks hat, but this is a baseball podcast not a basketball podcast. This is just the number nine Oh, just isn't a Knicks hat. It's just number nine and I want to correct you on another thing again This isn't this is your talking baseball first off-season podcast I was doing talking baseball 94 95 Just talking to my wall and my dog. So I'm pretty well traveled in this. So don't you know, this is technically year I mean like year 15 or so You're 15 of talking baseball off-season, right usually it hasn't been recorded or shown That's that's my bad and a mistake. I shall not make again, and it's alright. Okay Patreon new Patreons this week sponsoring this episode are Christina Thelon That's a tough one Talon Felon You know I have no I have no no gauge on that one. What do you got? I like Thelon.

I've got to do the October raffle actually cool. All right Anyway, Jake, it's been a little bit. I think the longest break we've had on the show in a while because we're doing daily episodes How are how are you doing? I'm great man. I'm I'm excited.  Yeah But nothing will happen in the NBA world that leads to like 48 hours of pure chaos and it's awesome In MLB, it's like all right like honestly the chaos is gonna be in the next couple hours With a couple opt-ins opt-outs to be decided a couple, you know for the Yankees I know we're kind of assuming that they're gonna reach a contract with Brett Gardner before free agency starts and other teams Have situations like that Cole Calhoun. We like putting those two in a bucket. Anyways, but it is exciting it it it You know, it feels like the World Series just happened the Nats just had their parade, but now it's like all right 2020 free agency. It's a little bit of a bummer. It's not gonna be like I'm not gonna know Garrett Cole's team in the next 24 hours, which in the NBA I would but I'm excited and it's I Do like as I joked about I've always been a huge baseball fan And you know, I I like this side of baseball a little bit more of the the free agency that coming together The teams or are you gonna trust your minor league third baseman?  So I love that stuff and there's there's a couple fun teams that I'm already locked into so I'm good man I'm good. How are you nice? I'm doing well. I'm in the midst of a move Yeah, the lease a couple days ago today is Monday. I think Tuesday Wednesday are two full move days And then I'll be in New York City. Oh, wow. Okay, like it's it's happening quick Yeah, my credit card is Getting really tested. We got a furnish a whole apartment two bedrooms We haven't bought a couch yet because all the couches at Ikea can go Kill themselves.  It's like give me a good. Well, there's also there's also a big divide between looks nice and Kitchy and new and modern in the living room Versus comfortability very hard to get both.  Or would you rather try out the young guy and your your farm? I think that's what you're trying to say you I was hoping you were gonna make a great Comparison, but no you started bad and then quit. Yeah Okay, so as we've been doing do you have a burn for us? Oh I Could what do you need burnt? No burn Starling Marta he's opting in No Yeah, alright, so there's we're gonna start actually with the managers and that whole situation Because a lot of this happened while we were covering the world series and we just kind of skipped it And so we'll get to this later on There were how many openings take one two three four five six seven eight openings for manager Six of them have been filled two are still searching and Let's just go down the list. Is that cool with you? That's cool with me, Jim Brad osmos gets fired from the angels and they bring in Joe Madden I like this. I treat as soon as Joe Madden left the Cubs. I tweeted the angels should go get him right away I Trout needs a chance Like Trout needs to be in a playoff race I'm not saying this gets them in the playoffs not in that division, but hopefully Madden can help them get into the race He is a good manager. He grinds my gears I think he's the most exhausting man in baseball and I think he exhausts places that he goes and Then starts fresh but I do think Madden going into a new team if they can put some talent and He he has now managed the rays who had not a lot of talent but he got them to a world series and he did the most shifting and the most Weird line-ups and all this crazy shit to get the most out of his players when he was with the rays And then when he got traded to the Cubs and he had all this talent He shifted the least amount in all of baseball and they asked him and he said well, I have good players now I don't need to do that stuff. So he's kind of equipped to manage two kinds of teams I think he's a good manager still personally. I think he's exhausting But I like this move for the angels Yeah, and so we we were Connecting the dots on this a little bit because it seemed a little bit a plus B trout Madden LA Madden's time running out in Chicago He was with if you don't know he was with the angels organization for 31 years before he went to the rays He was with the California slash Anaheim slash Los Angeles angels 1975 to 2005 so I'll tell you what I'm gonna be honest. I didn't know that So there's there's a comfort level there Just in the organization. He was Mike Socia's bench coach During during some of their high times during the world series in 2002 So yeah when when all the connected dots came out on this and made a lot of sense And yeah, and you'd like to think that they're gonna be spending in free agency a little bit Obviously the West Coast co-rumors will get into that But yeah, I if you're a baseball fan, you should be rooting for Mike trout to get to October somehow and It's he's a good manager. There's no argument against that Yeah, you can't really you can dislike him cuz I kind of don't like Joe Madden Yeah, but I can't say he's not a good manager. You're a hard no magicians in the clubhouse guy So are you if we're being fair? Well, if I I'm allowing my players to beat up the magician It's like kind of it's letting out steam. Don't bring a magician into the clubhouse It's your number one rule. Hey magicians. I Like the dress-up parties that Madden does don't bring penguins into my clubhouse. Oh See, that's where you and I are gonna. Yeah, you're a hard line in the same You've made out with a penguin and I might have a team penguin in there So the cubs got rid of Joe Madden. They parted ways and they bring in David Ross this is a complete change in In Manager it feels like David Ross has never managed before very much an Aaron Boone situation almost the same exact thing a player's player Everyone love everyone loves him goes into broadcasting people love him Goes and manages he's never been a coach in the dugout. He's never been anything now He has a catcher which is a little more game management ship than third baseman one in the comparison to Boone. I Think he'll do a good job. I think the managing position changes now and David Ross is one of these guys. That's gonna be more like an Aaron Boone.  I will say this. I don't think David Ross I think he was always a authority figure because that team was so young that cubs team It's not like he's gonna be managing guys that he literally was eye-level teammates with Like Joe Girardi when he came to the Yankees with Posada and Jeter and Williams and stuff or Bernie wasn't there anymore, but they were kind of you know They didn't think of Joe Girardi as like a father figure Grizzled vet listened to what he says as much as this seems to be on the surface Well, it's Sports you often can't relate things to the to the real-life business world But you know there is like If you're someone's boss, you're not supposed to get crazy drunk and go out partying with them and like I don't know like yes Rossi was an authoritative figure in their clubhouse But when they were in the world series like that's someone you poor champ pain down his throat Yeah, that's that's someone you just look at differently a little bit that being said and we are Yankee fans That's a hot take you leave one of those hot take five-star reviews that says hey these guys are Yankee fans Those are our favorites It the Aaron Boone thing has worked out really well for the Yankees and it's it's not like completely out of left field I mean he was a catcher like you said he's so well like throughout but he's like one of the more well-liked baseball players Currently now just from being on like dancing with the stars and shit like that. So It's it's a popular hire and Again, I think the interesting thing because didn't you have one quote that was like he's he's in for analytics But he still definitely believes in being a baseball guy and stuff like that. I don't know I like that quote though because that's what it is Yeah, put that on a shirt So, yeah, I don't know it's it's gonna be and this was and maybe this is the advice We could give to cubs fans is that you know a lot of the shots nowadays and this will probably be different than Joe Madden to a degree a lot of the shots come from the GM and the analytics team So there's only so much decision-making that truly happens that a manager sometimes is a scapegoat or Aaron Boone looks like a genius this year because half the roster gets hurt and a lot of those guys thrive. Yep All right. Well, we talked about Joe Girardi. He's going to Philadelphia replacing Gabe Kapler who was never a fit and kind of just Didn't gave Kapler's first game. He made like an illegal substitution in the bullpen that couldn't happen or something he brought I think it was like the first two weeks. He made a couple of ones and it was like, oh boy Yeah, and then it never panned out like you wrote he was in over his head from the jump. Anyway, Joe Girardi gets the filly's job What's his deal? Three I don't they don't have it here. He has a three-year deal. I don't know Joe Girardi is gonna bring a determined Ness, what's the word there determinism to this Philadelphia team?  I Think this is the interesting part with Joe Girardi It's it's will he change a little bit because at the end of his Yankees run It was kind of this revolution of managers and you know You kind of got to be the the Joe Madden loose guy or the young guy because baseball's such a long season that if you're someone like Joe Girardi who was pretty rigid with the dudes it kind of the word we heard was that it kind of wore thin amongst some of the young guys So and when he went to the MLB network, we saw more of Joe Girardi being his personality Like he has a good personality, but when he puts on the manager cap, he gets a little more militaristic So it's gonna be interesting to see if he just goes straight back to that because that has been what's worked for him As a manager or if he is a little looser around the edges because I think the guys would love that They've had some clubhouse like I don't know if they've actually had clubhouse issues But there was the whole Santana and area to fight Areata through Harper under the bus area throws everyone under the bus It might be area. It might be area is the problem who just opted into his contract. So he's still there so we'll see all that gets handled because I Don't know.  I can't see Joe Girardi like Joe Girardi was so tight for a while that there was a big story that he took the team on a bowling trip And that was him like loosening up. Yeah, if that's the loosening up How's the fortnight in the clubhouse gonna work? So you think Girardi's not playing fortnight? Okay, man Yeah, and I I think we we have to say this because it's well they are clearly different levels of players at this point But we mentioned Mike Trout instantly when we hear Joe Madden It's gonna be Bryce Harper. Can he get the best out of Bryce Harper? I think I think what you and I think is that those personalities are gonna actually line up pretty well Like they're both kind of intense locked in dudes. So that relationship seems to make sense there So, I mean that's good and that's a guy that this team just invested so much money in And yeah, just circling back on Jake Arietta No, it's funny yet People like you more when you pitch better. So don't have a four six four ERA next year And maybe some of your clubhouse stuff. I wish we were doing a talking bait I wish we were doing a talking baseball back when Arietta was a free agent Because I remember just shouting from the rooftops like there's no way he's gonna be good They get nothing nothing in his Abilities said he was gonna sustain that success for another five years Yeah, God couple couple big years for the cubbies I young winner. I know but and it was great.  I wonder look at their age and stats and all that Yeah, damn. All right Jace Tingler Replaces dude, I'll let you roll with Jace Tingler because he's kind of you've been on him For five ten years. It's the most unique hire This dude has never been a manager or coach in a dugout He had some weird half-assed title. He was in the Rangers dugout for a little bit He managed in winter ball and stuff like that, but he really has no coaching experience in the MOB level but Apparently he speaks two languages, which is actually I think very important these days he because especially the Padres they have a lot of Latin young players and Everyone loves him and it seems like this was their guy like they didn't do a round of interviews. They're like no We want Jace Tingler it's a bold hire and I Reward them for their boldness Yeah, and with with the boldness it could he could end really sour really quick too, but And I think the the BS position I forget the title of it But I think the if you're looking for a parallel from recent years I believe Rocco Baldele before he got hired in Minnesota. He was in that same position. It was what's the title? It's something Player organizer or something. I don't know It's a it's a very new age MLB position, but I think it normally goes to the well-liked guy That kind of knows analytics. It's kind of the guy that has been behind the scenes Calling a lot of the shots and now they're going to the forefront.  It can easily be a situation where he fails But if if he does find success Then we're have a we or might have a big shift in how managers get hired because you have David Ross Aaron Boone That's the old school like their new school managers, but like hey hire baseball guys. They've been around baseball They know baseball now. You got Schmidt or am I saying that wrong? Cardinals manager oh Snip his name no snicker. No, that's that's waves. I Am having a brain. I always think of dry chute now shilt shilt Shilts he never played in the majors I don't even think he played in the minors and he never managed in the majors at all He never sat in an MLB dugout before getting hired He went through like college pitching coach college assistant up the ranks up the ranks of college and then to MLB And he he put the Cardinals on a pretty nice run there to end the season So if he works out if Tingler works out this whole thing might get a little revamped Yeah, it's kind of the last last time I'll reference business stuff because I was pretty bad in that world But it's it's like it's just having a good leader like It doesn't matter if Mike Schilt used to be that good by at baseball Can he get the 25 dudes on the Cardinals to play their best baseball because that's what we're trying to do So Tingler's lot previous like names of his positions were field coordinator and player development coordinator You hate those titles. I just what are they? Yeah, do other teams have these titles or did you just say hey, we want you around What would you say you do here, Jayce? Jayce Tingler good for him good for I hope it works for the Padres because they're about to hit their window And if he's the guy it's kind of crazy, but that's cool Well, it's so crazy and we'll talk about this a little bit in our next segment But you know how how much of Jayce Tingler is gonna be decided like oh, hey the Padres Opened up the bankroll. They signed Garrett Cole I bet Jayce Tingler would look a little better as a manager if he had Garrett Cole for 33 starts instead of Whoever's gonna be on the end of that rotation Quantral your guy I'm gonna go to the Mets. They just announced Carlos Beltran Carlos Beltran if you're surprised that he's a manager There's been a lot of people that have been paying attention aren't surprised he He is highly respected in the MLB when the Red Sox played the Yankees This season Alex Cora and the Yankees beat the Red Sox in a couple series Alex Cora said you can tell Carlos Beltran's On their side now like that's like he's like the kind of the fucking baseball whisperer that travels around He spent time with the Astros and Their club when they won the World Series He spent time in the Yankees front office when they just went on this run and the craziness of this player development and new players So he's gaining this knowledge. He he Interviewed for the MLB for the Yankees position back in 2017 But he had no idea what an interview to be a manager even was he just kind of got called in But then he got like experienced that so he gets this Mets job. He was a met great for a little bit there This one I like this one for the Mets Beltran Seem set up for success. We'll see I think he's bringing Collins Terry Collins to be his bench coach So we can have that dude who knows the day-to-day of like, hey, this is you better schedule out You're that's the thing that like I think gets overlooked is planning ahead like Terry Collins and say like this is good But you got to think about this series in June like we got to get to that or like we got to get to there Or who's your shortstop after you know and just how much you have to think about how far to expand how close I don't know. I've never managed. These are things that a manager can help with so I actually like that Is that official that Collins is his bench coach? I'm not sure. I I can I can I saw that real quick. I saw that out There and I thought that was a smart, but I like that for the Mets good for them Yeah, and we've seen that with a lot of these these new managers You know is to have a guy who's done it before Larry Rothschild was there with Boonee I wouldn't be surprised if David Ross has has someone like that around the team Yeah, I think I think Beltran's my favorite signing And again normally in a society where as you mentioned I am a Knicks fan It's easy to do lol Knicks. It's easy to do lol Mets They get Beltran and I how many times did you hear me say during this regular season Jim that if you're hiring? Why don't you hire someone from Houston's pitching department? You hire someone from the Yankees hitting department put it together and you're gonna have a good team That's kind of what Beltran's been doing And and I don't know I I don't want to underplay all the managerial stuff because I I do believe in top top-down run organizations But Carlos Beltran is so well respected by the players He's so well respected throughout baseball and I mean even if you know if Carlos Beltran can Unlock one or two guys on the Mets. I Mean that could take them to another level. So I love the hire Yeah, and then the last hire of the six that have been finalized is Mike Matheny going to the Royals and I break down all these hires Jake as Okay, you got an established dude and Joe Madden and Joe Girardi or Okay, you have a new rookie manager, but they're your guy the Cubs seem to like David Ross from the jump the Padres I don't even know if they looked at anyone else Jase Tingler was their guy The Mets looked at a lot of hires, but Carlos Beltran has Been rumored to become a manager and be you know primed for that for a while So you either have okay the young guy coming in for his first time But you have faith in him or an established great manager the The Royals go with Mike Matheny who is as safe and vanilla and boring as a choice You can get and I think the Royals are still a couple years away And this might just be a placeholder. They can't think he's the dude Yeah, a couple different things going here and one one thing that I'll I'll set you up is basically like like you were saying you Like the Jase Tingler hire because it's bold and maybe there's a chance it works out. Matheny is basically the opposite. Yeah So that that's kind of the scope you're looking for it's It's not exciting.  It's gonna take a couple years, but buckle up We'd be like all right Royals. We'll see you there. Hopefully this is cool They brought Matheny in as a special advisor last year so the organization does like him and You know, they they did know that well, they knew this could be Yoast's last year So I don't know they do like Mike Matheny. It does seem a little vanilla, but he's familiar He he already has a year familiarity with the organization Year familiarity with some of the players. So yeah, it's not exciting, but I don't know It's it's what do the Royals have coming up the farm I mean, do they believe that they they like the way their whole organization is set up for the next couple years that if They can get better the next two years Mike Matheny's in a in a good place to give him a chance I don't know but yeah, not not the sexiest of hires his numbers from st. Louis look pretty okay But the the end of that run was pretty pretty mad Yeah, I think he was Disliked by fans. I think they were like get him out of here. Yeah Yeah So Jake the other two teams left that need managers are the San Francisco Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates There is still Buck show Walter who wants to manage hmm, I Think he fits with Pittsburgh pretty well just kind of attitude Yeah, but I don't know who wants that Pittsburgh job like if we'll buck show Walter Take one of these jobs. Will he be wanted for one of these jobs or we wait out another year? It's tough.  Yeah So, yeah, it kind of depends where bucks had added and yet It seems like San Fran's not fully a fit for for buck show Walter in my head Like I want the geekiest dude ever because I think their their GM they hired is a geek So like just go with that. You see what the Giants are doing. They like gave capitalers in consideration Yeah Why? That's that's the guy you fire before the next guy Well, that's like we're gonna have a bad year and a half. So we need to hear the other news Bruce Bochie isn't retired Love that. He's taking a one-year sabbatical. He wants to manage again in 2021 It's genius. Everyone thought he was retired and he went on mad dog radio and was like, no, no, no, no This is a sabbatical. I want to get back out there. See how I feel retired from the Giants I don't like where that's headed Well, maybe the Giants do a one-year manager change up and bring him back Bring back Bochie. That would be that would be awesome I I now have to root for that unfortunately, but I think part of it was to they brought in like They did the whole analytics full revamp, but they were gonna give Bochie one last year to be Bruce Bochie So I think that dream might be fading away a little bit, but I still like it. Yeah Crazy, I don't I don't even know if there's any leads for these these Pittsburgh or whatever Twins bench coach Derek Shelton has interviewed for the job for the Pirates Pirates job kind of sucks man Yeah, that's a beautiful view in a nice ballpark. I don't know why you'd go there Hey, man, those are two of my favorite things. I'm in. All right higher Jake. You got anything else on managers I mean, obviously we'll update where there's a lot to go through right there since we missed it all In the end like I'm not here.  That's true. That's good. He should be stable He should be able to run through the motions and then it's you know, can you Can you get something else out of these out of these guys? All right, we're gonna take a quick break then we're gonna come back and talk about the pitchers that are topping the free agent list All right Free agent season is Coming and as this rolls and This will probably be the only episode where we kind of deep dive into the top free agents and our thoughts and then hopefully It's more reactions to where they sign and news and that's how the episodes will go forward But if you're doing a baseball episode you got to do this conversation Jake With Strasburg opting out which is fucking nuts that he has a hundred million dollars guaranteed 100 million dollars guaranteed for four years and he gets like 35 a year at the end of it guaranteed and He says Nah, I'm gonna go get myself more and it's the smartest move Because he will easily get himself more money and more years It's just wild to really think about it Yeah, we we don't get thrown in those positions a lot But yeah, it's a and I was blown away because the last year of that contract when Strasburg was 34 years old He was due to make 45 million that year So in my head I had mentally turned off the Strasburg switch and I was like oh you don't turn down that ever ever And then he goes out. He has an incredible season. I think he pitches the most innings. He obviously does his World series and playoff heroics He's like the perfect candidate the former number one pick. It's not not fluky or anything So yeah, I mean he's he's probably gonna get the same AAV ooh, it's been a while since we've talked about Annual value of contracts, but yeah, he's gonna get two or three more years He's gonna get six or seven at the value that he was gonna get for four and at this age You have to go and do that. I think this is going to be Garrett Cole and Strasburg will be the Machado Harper where are they represent? Are they both Boris clients? I Believe so I could double-check pretty cuz that kind of actually changes things Because then it's Boris bidding against Boris Last year is Harper Machado is Boris versus I forget who Machado's agent was but they are both Boris So they're both Boris.  I mean Garrett Cole.  It's kind of weird Boris versus Boris We bought we got both of them like what seven years. I mean they will have to beat the Corbin contract That's how it works.  They're gonna wreck David Price's Most most money gotten by a pitcher, I think it's two twenty one million or something like that or two two eleven But yeah, I think both of these guys are gonna be north of that they're They're in semi in their primes and they just did special things both of them Garrett Cole's last two seasons are about as good as they can get and Steven Strasburg Just won the World Series MVP with some of the best playoff stats You'll see and there's like Steven Strasburg has a little bit of the story like we saw him He's like, yeah, it's too tight than these We hired these crazy Anibal Sanchez and Gerardo Paris started hugging me and I was more relaxed and it's like okay So you have to sign them with Strasburg. That's the catch. Yes, baby shark comes Is this two years in a row? Is this two years in a row now that the World Series MVP becomes a free agent after the World Series? Steve Pierce last year Pierce yeah, try to go back before that I Guess it was springer before that right and He didn't yeah for Houston. So so two years in a row and I think Strasburg will get more than Pierce Don't talk out of your butt hot takes early hot takes Jake I like this starting pitching spread for this year. Okay. I Think you've got top dogs, right? You've got Garrett Cole and Strasburg and those are the two Then I think you've got solid Upper echelon, but not Garrett Cole Strasburg Like you've got then maybe two starters, but like okay a solid three you could be happy about I Mean you got bum Garner and Ryu and Wheeler Those three You'd be happy with them, you know like the upside is there the middling middle road is also there But Wheeler has so much upside give that dude some pine tar, please Yeah, and enjoy Houston Zack I've I've been been been dreading that been dreading that been dreading that tweet for about six months now But I mean all we learn is a perfect fit for Houston if Zach Wheeler goes to Houston. He will replicate Garrett Cole. Yeah With Brett Strom pitching coach over there and their their analytics department and whatever like yes He's got the same peripherals that Cole had before Going to Houston. They're like pretty similar so it's it's so funny and obviously we're anticipating a lot here, but I mean, it's this whole circle that's going around in baseball and we've seen it with Yankee fans where it's like Oh, the Yankees they they regret not trading for Garrett Cole a few years ago It's like well the Yankees probably wouldn't have made Garrett Cole as good as he has become now because Houston has a special sauce with their Pitching right now. So using that formula Zach. We learn Houston. It's a Hads up it adds up Ryu. I think he's got to stay in the NL same with bum You and I are very much albias guys There's a little albias. We're not too shy about that. I don't know about Ryu. I Mean I he had an incredible year. Someone's got to get excited about Ryu. I have heard some cubs rumors I Don't know. I mean who was um, who's our guy a little while that came over From the Dodgers and was hated baseball, but was the Yankees ace for a couple years. Corota Corota Yeah, I don't know. I think what Ryu did last year that plays anywhere Yeah All right, then then you have Where is it where that where the hell is it you got Dallas Kajko? I don't know if he's gonna have to wait as long this time Someone might be like, oh, so he he doesn't have the the draft pick attached to him So that's that's a story with a couple of guys this year grand al when we get to the hitters But yeah, Kajko has no pick attached to him so he can kind of get settled in with the team if he wants Oh to Rizzy. I mean he's gonna get picked up by someone as you know a 3-4 maybe potentially a 2 But and probably a more of a 3-4 pitcher on that rotation if it's a team trying to Win now. I don't know what yeah, he will look like but oh derizy will probably get some money He had a good year and I think his slide are graded out pretty top notch So that it seems like some team will definitely fall in love with that call Hamels He's an older guy that probably just wants to get signed.   I but I mean his arm has been through a lot. He's he's 34 going on 44 No, I think what you were saying is that like okay this when when we go into the hitters late later There's a couple positions where it's like.  Please go back to St. Louis Tanner Rourke Wade Miley Brett Anderson These are guys that have you signed them like I don't know you can kind of pencil in 160 innings of Okay, baseball, which hey some teams actually no not some teams every team needs that Yeah, we're at Homer Bailey didn't he didn't need wasn't he doing pretty good after the trade or am I making that up? He's got he's got two starts After the trade he's got two blow-up starts. Otherwise. He was he was pretty good Yeah, he's settled in I mean he had a 43 era and like you mentioned two of those are blowouts, but yeah, he kind of locked in in Oakland Yeah, yeah, his era is not gonna look good. He's got a two innings pitch nine earned runs But if you take it game by game, he was actually pretty good post trade. So he might get One year to your dear. I've no bring him back Cincinnati No, he went to the A's I know but I'm saying Cincinnati game the giant contract. Let's run it back Sure. The first one didn't work out Good time. Do you have a sleeper here? Oh Like do you if okay, let me give you five guys Okay, and you tell me Who you would want the most and who you think's gonna get the best deal Just don't put don't put Jordan Lyles in there No, I'm gonna I'm going kind of like the the second tier bum gardener. Are you Wheeler? Kikel odor is he I think Wheeler gets the best deal out of those five guys. I think so too just because he has the arm talent and Basically what analytics and all these teams now think is that if you have that we can mold you So yeah, I think you're right. Honestly, man I if if I'm a team so basically we have to do this like without Houston because Houston's kind of an unfair advantage Because if they bring in Zach Wheeler, like yes, I think Zach Wheeler's gonna have a chance to almost contend for the side young But any other team I'm gonna assume he's gonna be Zach Wheeler So I'm gonna kind of eliminate Houston for now. I would love for a you man.  I mean, he's older. He's he's 30. He's 32. He'll be 33 start of next season But 2018 he had a big injury that cut his season in half 2016 and pitch it all because of injury So that's two of the last four years have been shut down due to injury Yeah, and I mean he's older So the teams would be a little scared anyways, but Jim his last 44 games started over the past two seasons He's 21 and eight with a 2 2 1 er a like I'm sorry like put those put those stats next to Zach Wheeler stats and you're gonna say no contest So I don't know. I think I'm more in If your team ends up with Ryu and Zach Wheeler got more money I think you should sit there and be pretty happy with yourselves. Yeah. All right. Okay. What about this this now the second tier? like the Bumgarner Oda Rizzi. No, no even lower. Oh All right, which Okay, here's here's a random five at the bottom of this list ready. Oh Boy Drew Smiley Ivan Nova Michael Waka Homer Bailey who you want out of those four? This is tough. I think you and me secretly like Ivan Nova I Liked what I saw from Homer Bailey. I mean this is this is tough.  The relief pools pretty thin The relief pools really thin and last year it was pretty good.  He's not gonna like Fernando Rodney technically a free agent. What um, Joe Smith Is this just all the Astros relievers? Yes Chris Martin the guy who got hurt for the Braves, but had been pitching really well Um, what reliever is gonna get the most money is it is it will Smith? There's like parents if it's pop if pomerances are getting reliever getting you sign as a reliever really There's not a lot out here. It's very thin. Yeah I don't know. I could I could see a team convincing themselves that Daniel Hudson figured something out, right No, I mean to your deal Not a lot of money. I mean look at what's that look at what zack britain and adamadovino got and and uh, David robertson no one's getting that here Yeah, that's uh Yeah, sorry for our uh If you're a team out there that bullpen is is the red flag. There's uh It's slim pickets. Yeah, my bullpen is also the easiest to fix in your in your farm system sometimes Sometimes because any starter you can be like go give us a minix right All right another quick break then we'll come back and do the uh offensive free agents All right, jake Another national is the most coveted offensive free agent strasburg ops out But rendon man, he is going to set the market. I think here as An offensive player or a field player wherever you want to talk about him He's the guy, right? He's the leader of this free agency class Easily easily and we are we are waiting to hear because the only hitter that could that could give rendon a conversation Will be jady martinez We're we're going to know in the next couple hours if he's opting interrupting out, but he's a pure dh at this point I mean rendon plays a quality third base. He has to opt out, right? Um, we'll see it's kind of an interesting situation because there was this stigma that free agents don't get paid Anymore even though last year's guys actually did get paid decently. He's only a dh. So I mean jady martinez has The nl teams are out So it's how many al teams need a dh And he has been really good. He's owed 20 million. I think he's going to opt out I think you can talk yourself into like I could see the white socks or texas rangers Um, and it would be similar to kind of what happened with the raaldus Chapman opting in place for the rays How about that the old jady martinez for kime trade? Yeah, um, so I I think he's going to and this is one of those weird things and I think it's funny that it well, we haven't brought it up to this point But it's so funny that there are family factors and things that tie into these decisions that like that I mean, there's there's a lot going on for these guys like you you have to decide where you're gonna live in stuff Uh, but yeah, I think jady martinez It seems like the city of boston kind of wants him to opt out I've I've heard some mixed things, but I think boston if jady does opt out They'll start talking themselves that they can resign mookie if he doesn't mookie's fully gone Um, but yeah, I mean rendone easily easily will set the position player market And then if jd's opts out, he's the second and then we were saying this before we started recording third base Has some good depth if you're looking for A third baseman you got Josh johnelson who went off the bringer of rain you got todd frazier who had a decent year and Is respected highly regarded also my best friend, so Right shut up about it. Um There were some others I saw that i'm blanking on remembering right now Pablo sandoval mike moustakis Uh Ask crabs he could play a little third if he needs to ask cabs is out there Um, yeah, I mean rendone's the special guy if if you sign donaldson I mean you're gonna fully be bought into that and the potential of him having a pretty special year And then yeah, like someone like moustakis. He's he's an impactful guy todd frazier astruble cabrera If those guys come into town you you feel comfortable with your third base position. It's not a question mark Um, so the third base has has some decent options out there in free agency Yeah, do you know what his uh, what just someone in the chat just asked what's jade is opt in Do you know the numbers? Uh, I want to say it's 20 it's 20 mil per year. He has another option next year Um And I I forget if that's the final two if that would be two years or three years But it it seems like jade martinez would at least be able to get the same money and an extra year or so Um, because he is 32 now Let me see if I could get his contract up. So, yeah, if he if he ops in it's 20 23 mil and then 2021 is 20 mil 2020 is 20 mil So third base, there's a good amount of options shortstop. Do you want de de gregorias? Because that's your option Yeah, hey, jose glacius. He'll tell you he hit in the 280s last year. Um, but yeah Shortstop is uh, is pretty empty and you and I have circled around the the de de gregorias conversation a couple times I just don't know a team is going to talk themselves into de de gregorias because a he's the only guy And his hitting numbers are pretty impressive all things considered.  That's why Um, I I got into it with yankees twitter a little bit because I said if de de gregorias comes back and plays Like the de de gregorias we've seen the past two years Um, he was gonna get huge paid Um, he didn't his ops was down 100 points. Uh, he had tommy john surgery So he's uh, he's a full-on wildcard this this free agency and there's some trades that can happen as well But we're just doing free agency right now You also got echeveria and floras, but you're not going to get these guys to be your everyday short stop No, if you're going free agency, it's de de and glacis, but really de de First baseman jake mitch morland ryan zimmerman matt adams jose abray you edwin incarnacion justin smoke eric thames For for me jose abray who's not being talked about enough. He's he's 33 He can't he's not great at first base anymore. I don't think he ever was but bodies started going in so you have to have to plan on him being Mostly a dh with a little bit of first base He led the al and runs batted in this year On on kind of a sad Well, no, it was a fun white socks team, but it was a white socks team that wasn't heading anywhere I don't know. He seems like a guy if he's on the right ball team and gets a little spark like He can still hit he had 33. Yeah 33 home runs 123 rbi's So one of the more solid hitters you can get What what team needs someone like that? That's um the team that I just keep in the al you have so many teams not even trying still right So you have to find a team that's trying to win in the next two years and needs a first base dh and Who who is that that can afford free agents like what does that limit it down to one or two teams? White socks red socks the team the team that keeps popping up for me. That's really interesting Um that I think they're going to make a big splash or if they don't someone like jose abray It would be a good consolation surprise. It's a texas rangers. They've got a new stadium. They had two pitchers emerge last year Um like they are going to sign someone flashy. I don't know if it's one of the top guys There's there's some links to rendone too, but if they come short on rendone like Bringing jose abray you bringing a couple of those pitchers we talked about and you can really You can make the depth of that ranger team so much better because last year it was like Okay, if we run into lance lin and mic minor We're kind of fucked like those guys are dealing. Um, if you don't see them, it's like, all right The rangers kind of suck you'd rather have jose abray or than edwin and crassione doing the same kind of thing, right? It's interesting. I I think it's a conversation. Edwin's a little older Um, and I don't know we saw edwin play the field when he needed to and it wasn't horrible. So Um, I I I think you'd be more locked into a braille for a solid season Second baseman there's a good amount of options here. You got, uh jonathan scope scooter jenet dozier who might be hung over still kipnis Um zobarist that's kind of an interesting one moustakas can technically play some second base So there's there's uh, it's not like like I don't know if you're in love with scope or scooter jenet Who you don't know what you're getting at all But I think it's I don't know. That's kind of weak pool It yeah, it feels like a classic case of If if you bring any of those guys to be your eighth or ninth hole hitter, you're like, okay, sure Like let's let's see if we could get some good stuff out of jonathan scope that if he can find the His his swing again, but yeah, those guys don't get you too excited Someone who's kind of first base second base who we haven't mentioned yet, jim who he might get a little bit paid Howie kendrick Yeah, if you're looking for contact I mean dude hit fifth for the world series champions Yeah crazy Starlin castra is a free agent. They didn't pick up his option Talk about how easy it is to fall off the baseball map.   I don't know Two full seasons duty played 162 games last year Oh Awesome, but come on Pretty average numbers like at pedestrian numbers not great Only 22 home runs Which is his career high By one Yeah, so set his career high in rbi's 86 starlin went out there and swung it last year, babe Damn All right. The other infield position is catcher. There's a good amount here.   Those are some besides simian on oakland. That's miami, kansas city and baltimore field and guys up 162 Run it out there.    There's a lot jake Well, yeah, there's there's a lot of guys that are Fillers and you're you're comfortable with them at spring training Grand dawg's the guy who can change your lineup, man. He's the only one that's like going to be coveted the rest You're getting them as a platoon catcher. I don't think you're going to get any of those other guys and be like He's our number one. Maybe churrinos give him a shot. Maybe jason castro, but the rest are kind of You have a platoon situation or a spring training battle or something like that Or they're yeah, they're they're a guy that A lot of these guys would be if you had both of them on your team You'd be like, oh we've we like to think we've got a solid one a and one b Like that that that would be the the kind of bse here But yeah a couple if your team needs a catcher you should be pretty happy with this This'll kind of be an interesting group to see how the dominoes fall in free agency because I don't know. I mean our team's going to really be Fight in each other between some of these guys are they going to be saying? Oh, well if we waited out, maybe we could sign one of them for two million instead of four million I have no idea Right. I had no idea how it plays out. I think it's going to take a while for some of those guys to get looks We'll see. All right Outfield and then we'll wrap this up kind of a weird long-winded episode. So I hope you that we didn't lose you at any point Outfield Jake You got Hunter Pence JD Martinez obviously number one Number two is kind of Ozuna Marcel Marcel's gonna be looked at pretty nicely I like Marcel his he is a violent bat. He can play the corner Yeah, a couple teams are gonna talk themselves into Marcel then you got Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Pueg? Yeah, yeah And Brett gardeners up there Alex Gordon gold glove winners up there Castellanos Nicholas Castellanos gets traded off the tigers and goes off for the cubs Be cool if he can find himself on a contender and have some fun. I think he'll get a good look And then some other big names here are Let's see that new guy from japan yashi tomo Tutsugo No idea how you say them need him another guy from japan shogo akiyama or is that I'm blanking Avasail Garcia He'll get some looks Corey Dickerson contact guy Arzuna is the exciting one Brett Gardner. I think the Yankees will try to lock up Pueg you're bringing a lot. You're taking a lot on if you get Pueg Where do you want wait? Where do you want Pueg to land? Oh, that's a fun game How about like This is rant literally This is me not thinking at all, but I like them in the Padres, right? Like just getting some excitement going in san diego Just having him being kind of the The crazy guy that gets them going on a day-to-day basis Yeah, I don't I don't even think it's a fit, but that's that's where my mind went Where would you want to see Pueg? I just need him in bright lights. He didn't belong in cincinac Okay Damn, sorry sensei. No, like don't go to the brewers Okay, wow Don't go to the diamondbacks. Don't go to the Rockies. Don't go to the marlins Oh, how about uh the angels put them next to trout boom done Calhoun leaves Pueg comes in Pueg and Madden. Yeah, I think we're I think we're still looking for the Calhoun Option news.  Sure Madden doing weird stuff Pueg trying to play off of it gets a little weird at points. Yeah, I'm all for it. Give it to me Okay, cool like it All right, I think that kind of ends this episode jake. Do you have any uh big takeaways after going through all this and looking all these names Me this was too much. Like I need I'm ready to react to news instead This is a lot of guys. It's a lot of guys a lot of free agents a lot to talk about No, I I mean, I love it because you could just go down so many different avenues I mean if if this was talking red socks, you'd say, okay, JD's gonna opt out We'll bring in castellanos for a similar price. We make him our our dh You just the wheels start turning and if you're every fan base You see two or three guys on here that you're like, hey I think if we bring in a stribble cabrera and he hits like he did on the gnats He could be a pretty good two-hole hitter for us and then you know four months from now We're like, hey cabrera looks terrible and that's baseball. So I I don't know I I love it I'm interested to see What teams come out of left field? Um And you're right like they're kind of what we ended with Pueg is You know, you want those guys to end up somewhere that matters and like we lost a year of Manny Machado last year I I didn't watch him play Um, I only saw him when I made a breakdown of him Yeah, so and uh, that's and hey, maybe the Padres turn it around. We like Jay Stingler But uh, yeah, you just you you want these guys to be in people's faces because they're some of them are just So talented. Yeah All right, thanks guys. We will be back if anything major breaks. Obviously, we'll jump on right away to do that otherwise, we are still kind of Figuring out the format here as we go through the off season But thanks for hanging out with us. If you have suggestions, send them in follow us on twitter Leave a review five stars only appreciate you. See you later. Enjoy your week.

He didn't understand all what happened in this weekend, but he hopes that what he learned and what he saw and what he understood will help him being one of us today. It was a pleasure to be here and I hope to see you next time. It was great, thanks to all the people who organized it and were donating their weekend for it. Thank you very much. Thank you everybody for this weekend and hope to see you everybody in France for the next weekend. I would like to ask our Skoli Linux members to help KDE at you, helping you by telling us what you need for applications, what is good, what is bad, we need feedback. I have nothing to say, just to love. To see all your faces I've never seen before, only known everyone of mailing lists and wiki, and so I really enjoyed this weekend here and thanks for the team. I'd like to thank the local team to enable Skoli Linux, DBNHRU to get even more international and to have all these face-to-face contacts which are really important I think. Thank you. I enjoyed this event and I liked the nice infrastructure and that we all got together coming from different nations and met each other in these days. People that I just know from the mailing lists for instance, so now I have a name on many nicks. I'd like to put a face on each of us and a great event, thanks for everybody, great place, nothing more to say. See you next time. No need to repeat all the things that have already been said, I just want to say I'm very pleased to know that some of us are going to spend a lot of time improving the user interface of Skoli Linux and getting rid of the crap packages and putting some great thoughts in there instead. I've learned a lot and it was fun, I've learned many interesting people, thank you. It was a great event and I'm glad to be here and I'd like to thank everyone for some chats, it was very interesting. And you want to join because you're really women. Thank you very much. Can somebody give you my microphone? Okay, thanks to the rest of my team, without you it has not been possible to organize it. And thanks to all people who came to their clients. Yeah, thank you very much. I enjoyed the weekend, it was great to see all those people and it was quite interesting and it was a great experience. I'm missing something. You want to say Skoli Linux team is really interesting to join? Okay, thank you very much. I've seen it was a great weekend with great people and I think we had a lot of fun. It was a team work of everybody and it was a great week. And I enjoyed it. Skoli Linux meeting and I met a lot of nice people, learned some interesting technical stuff and enjoyed the great organization. It was a very nice meeting and I want to thank everyone who made it possible. It's good to see that not only our software works well as one package but that we actually do work well together. Thank you everybody. Thank you very much. Although I was just present on Sunday and I'm looking forward to our next workshop, our Skoli Linux QT for working group. Yes, I think it was a really nice day and that's all. Before I came here but I think I will never forget it. Actually for me it's the first Skoli Linux meeting as well and what's more important, the first free software developer meeting ever I've been to where I could go home at night. I think it's great that there was so many international guests here. Okay, thank you for all and I hope to see you in France. Of the organization Patrick and his team and thank you for the invitation to pass but don't forget you are all invited to Gütersloh, a small town in Germany. First of all thanks to the organizer that made this possible and I think this was an important gathering both for our technical improvements and for the social improvements from the Skoli Linux from Norway, Germany, France and... Very important. A few are still open. I'm looking forward to the release and bugs be careful, the bugs policy will catch you. All for the contributions this weekend. We have really achieved a lot. It's going to be interesting to see when our next release will be and how good that will be and this developer gathering really made a big leap forward against the next release. So I'm really going to looking forward to what's going to happen in the next weeks. I hope to see every one of you soon. The sooner the better. So thank you for this gathering. Also a local group that did all the nice work here and gave us so many hours of productive time. Thank you. I don't want to repeat all the things also I should. So I just say goodbye and see you again.


What is up these stairs? We started in Perth for the year, now we're in Melbourne. What are your thoughts? It's the best basketball festival, and the biggest basketball festival in Australia. Look at YKTV, two of the goals. Three of the goals!  What's on your feet? Ah, some air forces. The Arizona State, dunk clothes. If you see me, you'll see Jordan. Who's your favourite shoe brand? Jordan's. Do you start with the shoes? Nah, start with having a shower, you know? What did you almost wear today? The Jordan 4 is per PSG. Ripple and YT ends? J-R-E-E-Elevance. It's his fault, it's his fault.


Before understanding the laws of heredity, there are some genetic terminologies. It is necessary to understand those genetic terminologies for the better understanding about the laws which were formulated by the Grieger Mendel in the mid-19th century. Character. What is the meaning of character? The character feature is called as character, like the skin color, color of the eyes, they will be called as character. While what is the meaning of trait? Trait is variant of a character.  This variation is called as traits. While true breed, if all the offspring are produced of same variety, like the tall plants, they will produce tall offspring and short plants, they will produce short plants, those varieties will be called as true breeds. Grieger Mendel labeled different generations by parental generation, F1 generation and F2 generation. What is the meaning of parental generation, F1 generation and F2 generation? If we take the example of the humans, grandparents, they will be called as parental generation. Like daughter and sons, they will be called as F1 generation. While their grand daughter and grand sons, they will be called as F2 generation. What is the meaning of pure cross and hybrid cross? The cross between two true breeding plants is called as pure cross. While a cross between two hybrid plants, that is called as between the plants which were produced as a result of pure cross. If we cross those plants, that cross is called as hybrid cross. What is the meaning of genotype and phenotype? Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. Like the number of chromosomes, the number of genes or the sequence of dead genes in a particular organism is the genetic makeup of that organism. While the physical appearance of that individual, like the height of an individual, the skin color of an individual or the color of the eyes, these are the physical appearance and these are called as a phenotype of that individual. If we take here the example of genotype and phenotype, if we take phenotype, there are three purple color flowers and one white color flower. These are the three purple color flower and one is white color flower. So these are phenotypes, purple color and white color. These are phenotype. While if we say that purple color have two type of genotype, one is homozygous. These are homozygous capital P and capital P while this plant that is heterozygous. One is capital P and one is small p. So purple color has two type of genotypes. One that is homozygous and the second one that is heterozygous. What is the meaning of dominant and recessive during a cross when one trait expresses itself over the other? That trait is called as dominant. While that trait which is masked by the other trait is called as recessive trait. If we take the example of dominant and recessive like a round is dominant over a wrinkle. So round is a dominant trait while wrinkle seed, they are the recessive trait.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the following question which says, simplify 4x upon x square minus 1 plus x plus 1 upon x minus 1. Let's proceed with the solution now. We have to simplify the expression 4x upon x square minus 1 plus x plus 1 upon x minus 1. To add these two algebraic fractions, we first need to find the LCM of the denominators of these two algebraic fractions. Consider the expression or the polynomial x square minus 1. This can be factorized as x plus 1, the whole multiplied by x minus 1. Using the identity a square minus b square is equal to a plus b, the whole multiplied by a minus b. Now for the LCM of x square minus 1 and x minus 1, we first write the common factor of the two polynomials, which is x minus 1. Then we write the remaining factors which is x plus 1. So LCM of x square minus 1 and x minus 1 is the product of x minus 1 and x plus 1.  Now the LCM of the denominators here is x minus 1 multiplied by x plus 1. Here in the numerator we have 4x multiplied by 1 plus x plus 1, the whole square. So further we have this is equal to 4x plus. Now we expand x plus 1, the whole square using the identity a plus b, the whole square is equal to a square plus 2ab plus b square. So this could be written as x square plus 2x plus 1, this upon x square minus 1. Since x minus 1, the whole multiplied by x plus 1 is x square minus 1. So we get this is further equal to x square plus 4x plus 2x is 6x plus 1 upon x square minus 1.  This is the sum of the two algebraic fractions that we have added. So this is our final answer, x square plus 6x plus 1 upon x square minus 1. This completes the session, hope you have understood the solution of this question.


Hello everyone, my name is Femishito. I work for the Bank of Industry. I work in the Credit Analysis Division. I came into the Brown Consulting to learn about Power BI and my expectations were at least, but the time I'm done with this course, I should be able to have learned certain things that I will be able to apply to my job and be more proficient and better. So, for the past three days, I must really commend the Brown Consulting. The delivery of the course has been quite excellent. The facilitator is well versed in the subject area and was able to actually deliver the course to the best of my knowledge and I have learned quite a lot of things. My expectations have been made. One of the things that I'm taking away and which is something that I would like to actually congratulate the Brown Consulting is for letting us become life partners. You know, you attend a lot of trainings and then just after that day, that's the end. But they are actually telling us that we can keep coming back because this is a technical course. There is a need for you to keep practicing over and over again and you will need help. They have opened their doors to us. We have their learning management system where we can always go back to go and learn and also see if we are stuck, they are giving us phone numbers. I believe that this in itself is a master stroke and it is something that I want to commend the management and staff of the Brown Consulting. I have really learned a lot and I'm even actually saying to some of my colleagues at work that they should try this out. Thank you.


We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used Ram headquarters today. We are checking out the all-new 2019 Ram 1500 with the Laramie package. From this HD video, you will be able to tell just how good-looking the new Ram is, some of the new features. This one has just about every option that you could get on the new Rams for the Laramie package. And we will go through all those options and give you a good walk around here to get a little bit more knowledgeable about those options and how everything works. Completely redesigned for 2019. This is a crew cab with the 6 foot 4 inch box. It has the 5.7 liter V8 Hemi motor. Dual exhaust on this one. Has the power drop-down tailgate, which we'll check out in a little bit. But I always want to do on these videos do a quick walk around of the vehicle just to check out the styling cues and everything before we really get into the meat and potatoes of the vehicle. So first thing we'll notice is that it does come with the 20 inch painted and polished aluminum rims. These are new for this year, really good-looking, and now the bridge they come with Bridgestone Duhler 275-55R20 tires on them. Black diamond is the color on this truck. It has the front sonar. This one also has the adaptive cruise, forward collision warning and 360 surround camera. It comes with the LED lighting group. So you get LED headlights, LED running lights, and LED fog lights. You'll notice how they hid those sensors in the bumper in the plastic there so you can barely notice them. Look a lot better than the old silver ones that they painted to match the chrome. Never really matched. They took a styling cue from the Laramie Limited on the old body style and you have the ram stamped grill. You can see that 360 camera is right there for the front view. Redesign the hood. This has the power fold out running boards, so you just have to open up the door and those boards deploy like so. They'll stay open for about four to five seconds and then they'll go back in. Nice and smooth. They're really sturdy. This one has the wheel liner. Wheel well liners on it, I should say. Helps keep your undercarriage nice and clean. My favorite part about the new Rams is the power drop-down tailgate. So I got the key fob right here. Just press this button twice. That tailgate drops down nice and slowly. It has a spray-in bed liner. New for 2019 is the rail cargo management system. So you get four cleats in that rail system so you can tie down stuff wherever you want. It has the LED lighting group with the button so you can turn those off and on whenever you want. And that tailgate is super light to lift up. Very, very easy. I really like the ram icon on the back here. Back-up camera is right there. Also, this is an electronic handle right now. So you just press it and that comes down. Very cool. They hid those sensors in the back bumper too. New for 2019 as well is the capitalist fuel fill on all the Rams, which is a really nice feature. You don't get gas on your hands or mess around with a cap. Even the mirrors are all new this year. You have built-in directional signals, but you also have the blind spot indicators.  They also power fold in, which is cool. The interior is completely redesigned as well. The Laramie packages now come with these leather and suede seats. So you got little suede inserts right here and on the backrest the Laramie stitching on the backrest as well. Both these seats are heated and cooled. Driver's seat lumbar. The floor mats are all new. Power windows, power locks, power mirrors. This is really the only thing they didn't change on the Ram. It's still the same instrument cluster as the old ones, but the power folding mirrors. Really nice feature as well. And you do have a memory driver's seat. Auto headlamps, power pedals. TFT display is all redesigned for 2019. Really good instrument cluster right there. Good looking. You have your compass, outside temperature display, your battery controls, digital speedometer, and you can change all that stuff.  I mean, there's just a million things that we could go through in here. You can set up the screen as well, but I don't want to make the video too long. And we got stuff to get to like this 12 inch screen. So this is brand new for 2019. This is the screen everybody's been talking about. Very similar to the Tesla screen that takes up almost all the dash. This is a 12 inch. You connect screen. What's nice about the 12 inch screen here, and it being the U connect, it has all the same controls as you're used to on your old 8.4 screen. They just made it bigger. The navigation screen is very nice that you can, it's more map you can see and just a very good setup. You also have your controls here for your climate. So you got your heated seats, your vented seats, heated wheel. You can deploy those step bars on the fly from this screen, which is really cool. You can do your backup camera. You can also do your surround camera. So as you can see, this is around the vehicle, and you can choose what camera you want to look at. So very cool stuff there, or you just choose the backup camera. They have a CD player in the dash now. They actually put it in a couple different spots depending on what trim level you get. Down here you have your USB AUGS and then a USB-C jack. You have your wireless charging. So this works for your, it works per Apple, and it works for your Android devices. So depending on what you have, it doesn't really matter. It still works on the RAM charger. You have your turn dial, 8-speed automatic transmission, your push-button four-wheel drive, and your start or push-button start right there as well. Up here you have your SOS and assist buttons. You can do your power tailgate right there. You also have your home link, map lights, and now these buttons, these are for the all-new panoramic sunroof. So very good looking sunroof. It really brightens everything up in the truck. Over here you have dual glove boxes. You got a little hidden glove box. You got your normal glove box, pretty good size. Let's take a look at that. All the stitching and design on the seats, all the craftsmanship that goes into these trucks. The nice wood-grain trim, factory formats. When I said this thing has just about every option, I wasn't lying. This one even has the Harman Kardon sound system, the upgrade sound system. Sounds great. So I wanted to show this too. So this is all new. They got a little storage container in here. You can move that along and the whole bottom is full of storage. So very, very good stuff. They even have some cool mathematical equations and stuff on the bottom side of this center council here in case you ever forgot the Pythagorean theorem, or if you forgot your sign and cosine and tangent formulas. But very cool stuff underneath, little stuff that Ram does to add to their vehicles. I have a steering wheel here. It's all redesigned as well. You have your Bluetooth audio. Your adaptive cruise is right here. You have your normal cruise. You can select your gears. This is a heated steering wheel. And we'll take a quick look at the back seats. Just a really good looking steering wheel. Also, this one has perpendicular and parallel park assist. That's what that button is right there. And we'll do a video here shortly on how to work that system. But basically the truck will park itself pretty neat system to see and experience. The steering wheel goes all by itself. Very cool. We'll take a quick look at the back seats because they've added some new stuff back here as well. First, all the stitching and everything if you want to see that has the power slide in your window. You can see those speakers part of that Harman Kardon sound system up there. And these seats fold up like so. And you'll notice that the whole back is completely flat, which is really nice if you've got a haul of some extra stuff. Or if you've got pets or something, they have a nice flat place to lay. They're not on your seats, wrecking your seats. They've given the bins in the back in an official name, the Ram bin. So you've got storage under there. Those still come out. And what they've added on here is they have a 15 inch ruler. So I guess if you were fishing or whatever you were doing, you could measure your fish right there. And then put them in here for storage when you come back from the lake. These back seats are heated. You also have two USBs and two USB C's back here along with a 115 volt 400 watt plug-in. But one thing I wanted to show you is with these seats, they do, you almost have to be in them for it to work, but they do recline. So there's a little handle underneath here. You can see how much those seats recline. It doesn't look like a lot, but when you're sitting back there, it's actually really comfortable when you recline those seats. To put it back, just press the handle and push it back.   So you've got cup holders in there and an actual council to store stuff in. And yeah, really, really cool stuff with the all new RAM. Well, thank you for checking out the video. And this is our first Laramie with all the goodies on it with the 12 inch radio and the panoramic sunroof. We have a whole bunch more coming.

TubeTek CL-1B style compressors have been at the heart of many great recordings over the years and the great news is they've just become affordable. Hi folks I'm Mike and I hope you're well. The TubeTek CL-1B has been an incredibly popular opto compressor especially for vocals but also for other instruments as well and if you were to go and buy one today it would cost you around about four thousand US dollars but thankfully Warm Audio just released the WA-1B which is a product very similar to the original CL-1B at around about a quarter of the price and by the way if you happen to be one of my Australian viewers follow the link in the description down below and use the discount code because I've found a special deal for you at the moment. So what is it that makes this opto compressor so special? We're going to be finding out in this video by using it with acoustic guitar, bass guitar and also vocals as well and we'll be talking about how it differs from some other popular compressors. Before we dive into all of that I'd like to thank our sponsor DistroKid. If you follow their discount link in the description down below you'll get 7% off an already amazing price to distribute your music to the world. So let's start off by applying this compressor to some acoustic guitar. So for the acoustic guitar I'm using something called fixed mode for the attack and release. You can see this control in the middle here is set to fixed. Now while we're in this mode these two controls the attack and release control actually don't do anything. Instead the attack and release are set to 1 millisecond and 50 milliseconds respectively. Now that means that we're in kind of simple mode if you like because the only two controls that really affect compression now are the threshold control here where we set the level in terms of decibels, where compression kicks in and the ratio control which controls the amount of compression. Now with this compressor we have ratios from 2 to 1 all the way through to 10 to 1 and for this acoustic guitar I have it set to around about 7 to 1 which is sort of reasonably high I guess but I think you've got to go for what sounds best for the material you're working with. Now in a moment when I play this acoustic guitar you're going to see the VU meter move over here. Now just as a little bit of a side note on this particular compressor from Warm Audio we have a calibration knob for the VU meter down here so I can adjust that as you can see like so which is really handy because a lot of these have sort of internal screws and things like that. And what we're going to be seeing is the amount of gain reduction we get from the compression and that's because this is set to compression here for the VU meter. Now you could also use the VU meter to monitor input or output which would be kind of handy if you're doing some volume matching if you want to make sure that your output is roughly the same as your input. Now if you did want to adjust the actual output you would use this control over here the gain control this is actually an output or makeup gain control. I've seen some people who describe this as an input gain that is incorrect so do keep that in mind if you're using this compressor. And finally before we actually start to listen to the acoustic guitar I want to point out that I'll be using this bypass switch over here. This is a true bypass meaning that when we're in this mode there is no signal going through the electronics of this unit whatsoever it's just directly going from the input to the output jacks on the back. Now I have gone for some fairly mild compression with this you're going to see one two and maybe up to three decibels of gain reduction happening as we play this piece. Let's start off with it without the compression to begin with and you'll see me flick this switch to switch the compression on. So the goal here for me is just to actually control the guitar I'm not doing anything that would make you feel like you can really hear some compression it still sounds natural but we are controlling some of those transits some of those peaks. So my goal with the bass guitar was to even out a fairly uneven performance meaning that some of the notes I played were much louder than others nothing unusual about that so I wanted to even that out and I also wanted to emphasize the sustain of the bass guitar as well. So I went for manual control over the attack and release in this case and on this unit the attack ranges from 0.5 to 300 milliseconds and the release goes from 0.5 to 10 seconds okay so quite a long release time available there. I set the ratio to around about five to one in this case I've got a pretty fast attack meaning I want to sort of allow some of the transient through but then clamped down on it and also had a pretty fast release because I didn't want to be compressing the sustain of the bass guitar in this case. Now I'm going to play this in context with the acoustic guitar that we already heard because I think it's important when you're you know compressing things like bass guitars to be listening to them in context of other instruments so let's have a listen to the result. Don't forget when you do release your music to use our sponsor DistroKid it's really easy you just have to upload your track some artwork fill in a simple form and they do the rest for you they get it out to all of the major platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Google Play all of the places you should care about just follow the VIP link in the description down below and get 7% off. So now we're on to the main event in my opinion because I love this compressor on vocals. Again I've gone for the manual setting for attack and release and I've set a fairly fast attack not the fastest I want to let some of those transients through but reasonably fast and then an almost as fast as possible release time as well so I'm focusing on transients at the beginning of words and things controlling those in turn allows me to sort of elevate the quieter parts of the vocal as well. I'm using a ratio of around about four to one on this occasion so not quite as aggressive as I was using earlier on and I'm going to start off by playing these vocals in solo however I'm then going to switch over and listen to them in the context of the rest of the song including the bass and the guitar that we compressed earlier on using this compressor let's have a listen in solo first and now in the context of the other instruments in the song it sounds like this so I just want to talk about a couple of features that we didn't use in the examples here first of all with our attack and release times we used fixed earlier and then later on we used manual but you can also select a combination of the two now this particularly affects the release time which is much more nuanced and non-linear and you can have one initial release curve followed by a different release curve towards the end so it's worth experimenting with that. The other thing I'd like to point out is the sidechain feature there's actually two sidechain connections on the back of the unit and we can select between them here now in the original manual and the warm audio manual they both state that the intention of this is to combine several compressors together so that would be something worth experimenting with. I'm a massive fan of both the LA2A and 1176 style compressors and in fact I've got a WA2A and a WA76 from Warm Audio and I love them both but they're very very different beats on one hand you have the 2A another opto compressor like the 1B that we've been looking at today but with a very different characteristic to it it's got a very slow attack and release time you don't have direct control over those elements of it but it does what it does really well it works really nicely on vocals and bass guitar for me and it just is easy to dial in a setting and it just seems to work wonders on the other hand if you want something with much more control and is much more aggressive then the 1176 is the way to go this is a FET compressor it's got really fast attack and release times you've got really high ratios that you can use and it's just fantastic especially for me in controlling those sort of big transients that you can get sometimes I love it and I often use in combination with the 2A so where does this new compressor sit with those two well I would say squarely in the middle it's nowhere near as gentle as the 2A you've got a lot more control with it but it's not as aggressive as the 76 and I would suggest that if you can't afford both the 2A and the 76 go for this one it really is kind of the best of both worlds and you're going to get great results on all kinds of instruments don't forget if you're an Australian viewer to check that link in the description down below with the discount code to get a great deal from sounds easy today and if you're from some other part of the world there are links for you in the description as well now if you'd like to know more about the difference between 2A and 76 style compressors you may want to take a look in fact you should take a look at this video right here


Welcome back everybody to the channel. I'm Titus and today we're going to be reviewing or reacting to Elliot from freelance duck hunting's video and I'm really excited about this today.  I'm sure it's gonna be great from the thumbnail I know I've seen this video before do me a favor go check out Elliot from freelance duck hunting's channel You will not be disappointed. They do really good with camera work. He's very good about Making sure he gets the content on a camera recorder. So it makes it better for the viewers So what we're going to be watching today is this is the duck hunt. We all dream of mallard and pinta limits You had me right there Elliot. So Looks like the beginning. Let's go ahead and get into this video Check out his channel and go subscribe to Elliot from freelance duck hunting. Here we go Season six he's been doing this while As far as recording and he's been duck hunting for a long time. They always have a good time Those birds are right there. Oh and Georgie Georgie made her debut this year and then in this season right here in the 2020 season. My goodness I'm getting withdrawals Well, here we are in the morning This just makes me drool watching this stuff So messed up. We pulled in here. Aiden pulled a monstrous sled I never would have pulled a million years and I pulled. There's my little old man sled I pulled that Fumblers is over sitting on the bank And right now we are going to be hunting Somewhere off in the distance and there are mallards quacking everywhere really had fun hunting with carl From freelance duck hunting two years ago Really fun guy to shoot to hunt with and hang out with flushing from everywhere around us and also Oh boy, like like you could hunt him like that We're struggling to find a hole to set up in Maybe there's a hole right back here. Sounds like they're just trying to find a spot to get set up in Smoked him Georgie by the way, they're good shots all three of them Aiden, Elliot and Carl. They're all very good shots and look at okay You can already tell watching this they got the sun at their back basically so they're sitting in the shadows. It's perfect If you guys ever do that just a tip Keep the sun at your back if you can and the wind at your back, but you know, that's not always possible Smoked them two drake mallards down already I really like I wish sometimes it'd be nice to hunt with another dog Depending on me the dog still needs to be trained Maybe nice to end up with another dog to have like rocky, you know learn um Basically to share and uh, what's the word honor? That was what I was looking for So they take turns him and Georgie and Carl's dog I didn't want it to get away. Oh, yeah, we are gonna try really hard to shoot only green And we're even holding out on our bonus duck for something special The goal's always the grand slam is five green heads and a pentail drape There's a there's two Georgie's hands all Who's that one? Georgie she is like a lightning bolt. Did you say we should have waited for that whole group? No Oh, that's all right Say as a group we are three for three my friends Well fumbles busted the all green rule here took all of 30 minutes for fumbles to break the all green rule Constantly harassing him We are three for three at the group though Susie Slayer-Snyder Susie Slayer-Snyder Killing broods and broods and ducks for the future.  I just love that. I mean it's like me and toss for constantly going at it I feel like we're off to a good. We're not taking it serious, but people sometimes watch it and get all defensive It's funny talk to elliot about that before We look for a good hour. Just that's just having fun guys as some people are different than others We haven't exactly scouted this exact spot of this complex. So We're at three. We got all day for this deal We're on the day we're at tomorrow. So I would kind of be surprised if we didn't shoot our limit today He only knew it was about to go down A lot of mallets around you got all day to get at them Two hands Susie Slayer. You don't need to tell I'm telling you big green. No, that's a him And we found the open pool over there now that it's light out and we just had missed it by about 100 yards So we're set way off to the wrong spot So we're probably gonna I don't know we've got three so we'll give it a little bit longer, but we'll probably make a move Get over there put the a-frame up and go at it good I'm ready for the flyways collected meetup this year This will be the third year that we've went and hunted together Location undisclosed as of yet, but we do have a location. Can't wait never hunted there Oh, that's awesome. Oh my goodness Oh good shot Is that yours? Yeah, you got three Dude, dang it.  That's name of Carl's dog candy Man, they know I'm trying to let him get in close Well, how many you got now four three three greens I'm giving you a run for your 60 buddy. Yeah, you're three for three Those are good numbers three greens Snyder the hence layers over there with one hand Oh, we're just having this big debate because we know where the X is it's about 300 400 yards that way But I mean we've got four And there's birds over there. We're pulling off and once this wind picks up Who knows how well we'll do here. I mean there's birds interested And there are that's I almost wonder if we shouldn't just go ahead and set the a-frame up We're just I mean, we're not as hidden as we could be to say the least Yeah, we've got no movement on the water I mean the wind right now is supposed to be the wind right now. They're reporting 12 It's zero Once again, the weatherman's never accurate I mean That's why I didn't bring the jerk the motion duck decoy spreader Because of the wind and see I've done that right there We've not brought the motion ducks spreader because it was supposed to be winny always take it I've learned that listen always take a uh jerk rig system with you in case. Oh man, right? Is that two drinks? Oh, man, that's close boys. Awesome. Is that Pintel? Pintel I want you to send Georgie after this Georgie! Okay, he's like all right. That was awesome. That was awesome. Good job boys. Is he taking a split on the second one?  Let me tell you what this guy did Two drinks float in perfect. All right I'm supposed to be the one calling the shot Not only nobody ever said anything about calling any shot. That's pretty much been how it's been ever since I've been hunting, right? I mean, I've been calling the shot all morning, but For us so yeah Then not only does he shoot he shoots the one on my side. I know what the heck I know how you feel Alia.  Then hold on. I'm not done. Then he goes for the second drink too Greed throughout that entire process major greed People see green and it just turns to greed What do you have to say for yourself talk about some greed my man? I I'm saying I have no shame No shame in this game I shot him both Didn't even hear elliot shoot. I would be happy to give that one to elliot so I can still go ahead and shoot him Yeah, he'll give that one to you elliot. Lead all the way around on that one my father Smart though. He's smart shoot the one on the That's not on his side Oh, yeah, that's so funny Oh pintile. I saw pintile somewhere didn't I? I'm tripping. I must be want to see a pintile for some reason. Those are all Four drinks in a hint maybe It's kind of going out of focus. I can't right there we go. Yeah Oh my goodness doing it right Get him textbook sometimes I did not know how ducks Well, I think we're a little farther than I thought they'd take some times.  I know Good girl G. Oh, there we go now. There's he's coming in. Yeah, I just heard him say Good job. That was awesome. That was awesome Nice the curse has been broken Georgie. Good job Carl Good job.  Let's see yours dad Good job. That was the best seat right there. How close were they when they banked around here? Oh, man. Oh, you guys killed those at 15 to 20 yards. Oh awesome. Do you want to shoot? And then keep shooting man. Okay, taking another one. I've got Because I've got three and you've got two Or do you have three? Yeah, I got two drakes. Yeah, you shoot another pass here and I'll take three. That's awesome This is turning into white. That is it. That is a day we dream of candy Candy still did really good for her age last year Come on. Can't That is that's a nice bird Very nice bird how many mallard rakes I have I'm shooting that duck if it comes in every time and look at that That very nice cock top Dang, that's almost a freezer duck. Yeah, that is a freezer duck. It's beautiful You could just see that That white on his head That's a nice one. All right. So you got four ducks now two way from your limit. Yes Oh, yeah, it's gotta that's as bad as good as spring as you get on. It's a mature bird. Awesome. Definitely. I might have to keep this one Yeah, that's a beauty Good job, man. What a hunt this time of the year by far ran I will tell you what and I think these guys will agree This hunt right here is What you dream about having you're sitting on a bank. It's nice and comfortable with your very best buddies Yeah, for sure. Absolutely And birds just floating down into the decoys And and there's no one else out here. We got we got the place. We got the place to ourselves. There's no one else out here So, man What Pretty epic day. Yeah, I wish I had my camera I just double up on what you said Yeah, I think that the word epic may be in the title. Yeah, I would say you can use the word epic in this But this one's epic. Yeah, for sure. If we could just get a couple groups of mileage of like 10 Then that would just be like the ultimate Got the wind finally is kicking up to It almost I don't have to see the water again, but it almost looked like it was kind of pushing towards them surely not Two drinks coming in That's gone dead here. We know where the X is.  So I think this will be a good one for us We don't have much to do it would be easy to get back to the truck get over there. Boom. Get on the X Well, here we are part two of this awesome, huh? We've got 10 Bumbles that has a pentail drake a hen and a drake I've got two drakes and a pentail hen Golden's got three drakes and a witch and drake. So we need eight And here we are set up In this yes, you know, they got the wind at their back and this is this one I'm thinking the wind wasn't kind of in the face over there.  Oh my good Expression on his face That's what we're in for store for. Oh my I think this is going to be pretty dang good. Oh, look dad. Look Oh my gosh. All right, get down. Let's get down and get ready That's your panic. Oh my gosh We were just finishing a group of 40. Do you think there was 40 in that group? Yeah, I think there was 40 in that group I'd say There's a drake color right here Here comes two Oh this might is this a pentail?  That was a sweet group. And I think Aiden's not even out there If that's what we're in store for this is going to be pretty awesome That is insane. Oh, you smoked him I haven't said it for a while the assassin strikes Place place and good dog Here you go the assassin assassinage So we just finished basically we've had two massive groups trying to come in Where's Aiden? Aiden he's probably Seeing that from the truck trying to get back and I can just just Fluttering in There he is. He's back Susie Slayer still has one Susie left Yeah, you can shoot one more. I can shoot one more. Yeah. Oh, I should have taken that little girl that landed that I think she was banded Can't ask for any better Yeah, good job. That was perfect. He landed. Yeah, wait for him to get up and smoke him one more. You need one more Just want that spot Those decals look good too in that in that breeze moving back and forth Oh, they got two there I thought they missed the first one, but that wasn't in the frame with the other shot.  Yeah, the second one's slinking See him slinking out there She sees him Nice shoot, man There we go. Good job, Georgie. Yeah, I saw I let that one was down and I'm like, okay, there's another drink there It's awesome. I didn't get the first one. I got the second one. I was just on that pair So double Out of the boy. Oh nice. All he shot double. That was sweet So you hit him killed the first one. Missed your second. Hate the third. Yeah, the suzie and the drake. I let him hit the water Killed This one dead and then took me two shots. I missed and then Yeah, nice Still a good shoot. Good girl. Five back behind them. So There's one low one one up front and five behind There one there we go. They're gonna do it right here a bit We're trying to get you guys both landed a little bit far out there. There's a shot called perhaps one with that kill Yeah, well happens. It happens. It was just so nothing you can do about it sometimes Just dropping straight down. I was just mesmerized and watching Don't worry. There's plenty more that came from I just love watching birds do that when they want to land Nice shot That's actually a kind of a hard shot for me when they're coming in down fast to the water It's kind of hard. I have a tendency to shoot over top of them, I think Wouldn't be the first time this has happened to mr. Elliot over here. Actually it is. Really the first time. No, I did happen on stoku something with snow one time Somebody's burl went took a nose dive.  How'd that happen?  I just probably put a shelf through it and uh, just clean it out like that Now you're thinking like Dan There you go, sir.  All right, let's roll And working in and they're just Banging them out. Yeah one more buddy and you'll be done Nice fatty two more You could even call these ducks too late too late mallets The rest of ours are back in the actually at the truck from our transition. Yeah, so I've got one two three four until drake Got one two three four five Oh, no, here we shot his moustache.  We're done boys Jackie No, no, baby Kenny, no, I don't know. Good job, man, but we're done, man. We're done That was awesome. That was sweet. That was sweet. What an awesome soft day In your hands, I'm gonna run george on a double Awesome awesome day my goodness There you go, george good girl Candy and george did really good on this hunt and the guy shot really good too. You could tell Really good. That's a crazy idea. This is probably after over there. Just coming in like crazy I have wrote in that book That was a good hunt boys. I will say So you guys need to go in check all your channel out Freelance duck hunting you can see the other guys on there. You can see carl and aidan And aidan's guys on channel two does really really well. Good guys great selection on their shots You will not be disappointed and don't forget to check out all the other guys from the flyways collective Again, we're getting together this year. Haven't released where we're going yet But we know we're getting it all planned out and booked and everything like that So we're really excited. Hope you guys enjoyed this video Give it a thumbs up if you did and we'll see you on the next one
