00:00 If I was Blake Snell, I would be hoping that some other team would be given a much better
00:07 offer than the Yankees.
00:09 Or if I was going to go to the Yankees, I'd be like, all right, sure, I will.
00:12 I will sign a contract with you, but this better be a seven year contract.
00:17 It better, better not come back to bite me that I'm giving up 15 more home runs per year,
00:22 not only pitching in that stadium, but pitching that division.
00:26 You've got the super short wall there for the right-handed hitters.
00:32 It's just, it's a mess pitching in that division.
00:34 And if I was the starting pitcher, I mean, I think the Giants would probably be the number
00:38 one team that I would want to sign me.
00:41 Just kind of context neutral.
00:43 They have the most pitcher-friendly ballpark in baseball.
00:45 It's the hardest ballpark to hit home runs in.
00:48 They generally have a pretty good pitching coaching staff.
00:53 Generally guys go there.
00:54 They get a little bit better.
00:57 You might have to correct me on this, but I think they were one of the first staffs
01:01 to start to introduce that sweeping fastball pitch that a lot of guys have been adding.
