Suzuki Motor Corporation

I think last year hinged on a lot of players having career years.

And as great as Suzuki and Caufield was, I wouldn't necessarily expect them to do that again.

But before last year, I think the baseline was a 92-point team.

So if they're raising that to 98, 99, 100, like, they're banging on the door of being a true contender, and I think they showed that they can be, advancing to the third round.

They brought in Chris Bassett for a deal very similar to that.

The top of the outfield class, you know, Ian Happ, Randy Arozarena, Seiya Suzuki, Trent Grisham, Dalton Varsho, George Springer.

There's a couple of guys maybe coming over from NPB in Japan.

There's no, like, stars, superstars in that group.

He's still only 27.

He could absolutely be a guy who moves back and transitions back to being a starter and is signed as a starter in free agency this year.

The other guy I would look at is Seiya Suzuki, 32-year-old right-handed hitting corner outfielder with the Cubs.

He was pretty bad recently in right field, but this year he's moved to a plus eight fielding run value.

... uh, we spent the day there, didn't we? Um, it used to be a Skoda showroom, huge site that's been mothballed for quite some time.

Actually, I think it was Skoda, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, and maybe one other.

Can you remember, John? I don't know.

One other brand.

They were talking about the Habs a little bit yesterday, and Montreal has seven guys, like their seven core guys signed up for 52 mil.

Seven guys, Suzuki, Demidov, Slafkovsky, Hudson, Dobesh.

Who else was it? Dobson, maybe.

And was there another one? Did I say Suzuki? Did I say Suzuki? He's in that mix, too.

They've got all those guys done for 52 mil.

It's insane.

Eight.

What country did the automobile brand Suzuki originate from?

Japan.

What rapper's real name is Dwayne Carter Jr.? Drake.

Oh, I can't even tell you guys what it meant to me.

We were in the middle of a convention at the Anaheim Convention Center, and the man that was my boss at the time He was setting behind the, we were putting in a big trade show at the Anaheim Convention Center for the Suzuki company, all about outboard motors.

And he was sitting there.

He's an older, couple of years older than me.

And I'll tell you what, my whole life changed at that moment, just like you guys'.

It was just absolutely incredible.

that we stopped everything and the Suzuki company said they weren't coming to America.

They were supposed to be there the next day.

And the count goes full to 3-2.

Suzuki has walked one batter.

It was Adolfo Phillips on a 3-2 pitch.

He has struck

You know, there was no Nicholas Jackson.

There was no half that, you know, Suzuki.

And Jael Gomez individually had a corridor.

Jael Gomez, exactly.

Suzuki obviously wasn't in the side.

Like, I think when I look at this Villa side now, they are definitely a lot better compared to when they faced off against Brighton.

They probably should have beaten

I'm going to just stick to him.

I was thinking of Suzuki, but he looks better at putting the ball where he wants to put it right now than he does just conceding shots.

Newcastle is shooting a lot of shots.

Yeah.

Suzuki was great against Hull, looked brutal against Arsenal.

So, yeah, it's kind of...

Jury's still out a little bit on that one, but yeah.
