6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:16,479

9
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: What I posted on Twitter last night and stuff, but

10
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: I posted like a fake Pablo Lopez initials card.

11
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

12
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 2: Do you see some of the things that I wrote

13
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: on that because I just did.

14
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: A two minute Google search. Yeah, he I believe.

15
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: I think both of his parents were doctors and he

16
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 2: was accepted to medical school and he was sixteen years old.

17
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 3: He had friends, I think on the Marlins.

18
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: I think that called him Google because he just knew everything.

19
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: So they would ask him questions and he would know.

20
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 2: So that nickname was Yeah. But you guys, Matt Burke

21
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: went to Harvard. You guys beat him? Do Young Park's

22
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: been on Jeopardy? You guys beat him once? Right, But

23
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's so Pablo might be super super smart,

24
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean he's going to beat this game.

25
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: It's a different beast.

26
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: So his memory still works.

27
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: His memory probably still works, So I guess he's extremely

28
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,240

Speaker 3: I am on the most western state, which borders with Colombia,

160
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 3: and then I'm on like the city that's like on

161
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: on a lake, on a huge lake. I think it's

162
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 3: the largest lake lake atlant America. And it's particularly cool

163
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: because it connects with the Caribbean. So it's very very hot.

164
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 3: It's very hot, very warm, it's very flat, but it's

165
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,679
Speaker 3: so culturally diverse, culturally rich, rich, so it's just a

166
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: really cool place and I have so many fun memories. Baseball.

167
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: It's the biggest sport back in Venezuela, so I grew

168
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,119
Speaker 3: up playing baseball along some other sports. I play tennis,

169
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 3: I play volleyball. So but it's just there's the people

170
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: are just very warm, Like Latin culture is very warm.

171
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: I'm very warm, very affectionate as it is. So that's

172
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: like one of the things I miss the most when

173
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 3: I go home. And then like I say, at my

174
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: grandma's house, I say that, like I sleep with in

175
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: her bunk bed. And it's just such a cool place

176
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 3: to be. And it's geographically located. I'm like four hours

177
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: away from the mountains, four hours away from the beach,

178
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: four hours away from like the big prairies, kind of

179
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: like our Midwest to say, like just flat like farmland.

180
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: So it's it's a really cool place that I try

181
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: to go back every single year.

182
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: What's the what's the flora and the fauna aspects of

183
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: that area? What do we got for animals and stuff?

184
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 2: What are you dealing with down there in Venezuela. Sure

185
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: we have the kapi Wata, like the biggest roading in

186
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: the world. It's originated to like the Amazon part of

187
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: like Venezuela.

188
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: Are we talking I don't know, like twenty pounds for

189
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: our roading, Hey, that's a twenty pound much big is roading?

190
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 3: But they're pretty cute.

191
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: He's got to hit it. You's got to hit it.

192
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: That's gross. Are they dangerous or they're just big? They're

193
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 3: just there and they's just like a live stuffed animal. Yeah,

194
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 3: so they're just there. They're they're cute.

195
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: And it's a huge lake. Looking at a picture of

196
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: it right now, that is a giant lake.

197
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 3: I know. Wow.

198
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 4: Uh.

199
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: And you were talking about how everybody played baseball. That's

200
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: how it was when I was growing up here. Not

201
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: so much anymore, but was that a situation where everybody

202
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: met in the park and played baseball.

203
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: Everybody everybody like so cool. I grew up playing baseball

204
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 3: with the people I went to school with, like my neighbors,

205
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: and it was just playing baseball like either on the

206
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: field or we used to go to these banks that

207
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 3: had a huge part in love, and we used to

208
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: go and we used to play baseball with our hands.

209
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 3: So we would just like either grab tennis balls or

210
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 3: like a much softer like cross ball and hit it

211
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 3: with our hands. And we used to play like two

212
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 3: bases like baseball, so it was only two bases and

213
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 3: you would play like that, or we would play with

214
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 3: bottle caps you threw the bottle caps and hit it

215
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 3: with a broomstick, So like God, so pretty cool. Rules

216
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: Like if the catcher caught it without you swinging, it

217
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 3: didn't matter where he caught, it would be a strike.

218
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: But if you swing amazon the catcher catches it, then

219
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: it's a strikeout. Then you want to speed up the game,

220
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: and you would play up to like three innings and

221
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: it was just a fun time. So everything is like

222
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: baseball related. You're always moving, you're always making a swing motion,

223
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: you're always doing like a throwing motion. So baseball's just

224
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: a huge bar. And now that I'm able to fortunately

225
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 3: be in the situation, I mean, it's just really cool

226
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 3: to like go back and like look back to like

227
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 3: the status I used to play when I was little,

228
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: and see how how much of the passion is still

229
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 3: growing down there.

230
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: Learning with a bottle cap should make it feel like

231
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 2: a baseball is the size of a beach ball.

232
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: At baseball with that bad after that, it's like hitting

233
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: with the church's door. Yeah, you're hitting a beach with

234
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: the church's door. That thing is just massive. But my

235
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 3: dad also used to throw beans, like black beans or

236
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 3: like any kind stuff like that. He would like throw

237
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: that to me in the backyard is just like we

238
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 3: gotta train your eye. We gotta train your eyes. It

239
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: didn't work because I have to wear contact the house.

240
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe I was just focusing so much on heat

241
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: of the beans that my eyes got all messed up.

242
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: But it was just a lot of baseball, which is fun, damn.

243
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: And you you hit left handed and throw right handed

244
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: the other way around? Which one is it?

245
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 3: I throw riety? He had left and I heavy living

246
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 3: hits in the big leags, right, we can't. I have

247
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 3: to mention that. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah, that stat ready

248
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 3: to go right, one hundred and thirty one batting average.

249
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 3: When did you realize you could pitch like you can?

250
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 3: They made me. Yeah, I wanted to. I wanted to

251
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: be a position player because I like to hit. I

252
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 3: like to, you know, shag baseballs in the outfield. But

253
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: when I was trying out, I was just very slow.

254
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: So when I was fourteen fifteen, I was still very

255
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: good at baseball for that age, but I was just

256
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 3: very slow. But I gave it a try. So my

257
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 3: dad took me to track and feel less. And so

258
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 3: when I make it there, the track and field Coach's like,

259
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 3: let me see your form and I do my phone.

260
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 3: It's like, well, the good thing is your form sucks,

261
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 3: so we can get you better. We can bet you faster.

262
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: So I ran the sixty sixty yard ash and I

263
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 3: was like a seven point six, which is super slow.

264
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: So within a few months he got me down to

265
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 3: like a seventh flat. But then my fifteen year old me,

266
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: I was playing a Picico game and I'd play hard

267
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: and I was leading to home plane. I broke my

268
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 3: ankle because I crashed with a catcher. So by the

269
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: time I came back, I was back to my seven

270
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 3: point six. And it was October of twenty eleven and

271
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: my signing period was July twenty twelve. So I was

272
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 3: super slow, but the arm was still there. So a

273
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 3: couple of scouts were like they invited me to a tryout,

274
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 3: making me think I was gonna go as an outfield.

275
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 3: They were like, why don't you just get on the

276
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 3: mound real quick? And I'm like, sure, why not? Then

277
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 3: I started like getting on the mound, and I started

278
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 3: like creeping up every time I got on the mount,

279
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: until like I finally made the transition, and I didn't

280
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: want to. I honestly didn't want to. But then I

281
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 3: knew like I was running out of time and the

282
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: windows to sign are super short, like as an international

283
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 3: free agent. So my dad convinced me, like, just like,

284
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 3: let's just take the opportunity. Let's get in the business,

285
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 3: like getting the into the into Pro Bowl. And after that,

286
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: if for whatever reason you try to like make a

287
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: switch or like we can persuade someone to make make

288
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: a position player. Never happened. I sucked a pitching, but

289
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 3: I started developing that love for it, and I mean

290
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: here I am.

291
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 5: Now.

292
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: Wow, and you signed with the marriage at sixteen? Is

319
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,640

00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 8: and normally he plays all twelve minutes of the first quarter,

471
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 8: and it things like that can throw him off, and

472
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 8: that threw him off, and he just didn't I don't know.

473
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 8: He never looked like himself. He was missing shots in

474
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 8: the lane that he would normally fall for him. He

475
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 8: was nine for twenty five, had twenty points, which you

476
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 8: have these nights.

477
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 9: He is human and he is allowed to have.

478
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 8: An off night. It just wasn't a good night to

479
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 8: have an off night. And the Wolves defense just is

480
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 8: not good enough right now, and it needs to it

481
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 8: needs to correct. And I don't think that we should

482
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 8: lower our expectations because this from week to week we

483
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 8: could think we're challenging for a championship or our ship

484
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 8: is sinking as you phrased it sas thank you, and

485
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 8: it will go back to we can contend for a

486
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 8: championship in a week as soon as this kind of

487
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 8: straightens itself out.

488
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 3: They desperately need a point guard.

489
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 9: They need something else.

490
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 3: Mike Condley, great, dude, now it's over.

491
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 6: Devincenzo can't really do it, and Dillingham doesn't get off

492
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 6: the bench.

493
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, and bones Highland here and there is a great option.

494
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 8: But last night he was one for six and had

495
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 8: three points. So the bench total had twenty eight points.

496
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 8: NAS had twenty of them. So outside of NAS read

497
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 8: the bench yes, just probably doesn't have enough.

498
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 9: Probably play any basketball in Venezuela.

499
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: Only because I was toll during recess in school. But

500
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: actually so we do have a basketball league, which is

501
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 3: not good enough. It's not very good. But I used

502
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 3: to go basketball games with my dad, and my dad

503
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: played more basketball than I did. I would just play

504
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 3: for fun. But it's you have to be insanely athletic

505
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 3: to play basketball, and I don't know how those people

506
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 3: move that will when they're that tall, Like they make

507
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 3: me look short, and they make me look like I'm

508
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 3: not that athletic. So I do admire and respect what

509
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 3: they do. And I hear some people say like, oh,

510
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 3: they only play twelve minutes four times, like that's just

511
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 3: non stop back and forth, not even doing suicides, like

512
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 3: back and forth and never stuff, never ending. So I

513
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 3: don't know much about basketball, but from athletes standpoint, I

514
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 3: admire like what they can do physically and the way

515
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: they perform.

516
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: They're in good shame, super dumb question because I know

517
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: every team has their own athletic trainer and staff and

518
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 2: nutritionists and doctors and stuff, but how often do Minnesota

519
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 2: Twins players overlap with other sports teams in the Twin Cities?

520
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 2: Like do you ever cross paths with a trainer with

521
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: a wild member of Vikings player?

522
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 3: Wolf? And anything like that doesn't happen too much. But

523
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 3: these last season in twenty twenty five, I was injured

524
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 3: most of it, and then there was a moment where

525
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 3: I was doing my rehabit target field and I know

526
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 3: that Wolves were using target field to run like stands,

527
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 3: like them running up and down the stands, and Anthony

528
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 3: Others was one of them, and that was super cool.

529
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 3: So our pitt for the Twins was really good friends

530
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: with I think the strengths coach for the Wolves. So

531
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 3: we overlap a target field once or twice, so that

532
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 3: was pretty cool. Cool, Yeah, right, Saus.

533
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 6: The Baltimore Ravens are hiring former Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse

534
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 6: Minter is their head coach, ats a five year deal.

535
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 9: Duh.

536
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 6: The NFL Final Four set and the Showdown starts on

537
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 6: Sunday with the Pats at Denver. The Patriots are a

538
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 6: four and a half point favorite over the home team,

539
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 6: the Denver Broncos. Then at five thirty, the Seahawks battle

540
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 6: the Rams. The Seahawks are a two and a half

541
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 6: point favorite.

542
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: Wow, I can't wait. Yeah, you like football, American football

543
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: at all, Pablo.

544
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 3: I like it. I'm still learning in Yeah. Mitch, who

545
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 3: drove me here from the Twins, actually was my GM

546
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 3: for my first ever fantasy football league. I never got

547
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 3: a text that we won, so I assume we did

548
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 3: now win, but too it was fun. I think we

549
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 3: swore the most points a couple of weeks here and there.

550
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: If you never got a text, is there a chance

551
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: that you just deposited the money and it just ran.

552
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 3: I don't think so, but you never know. But it

553
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 3: was fun. It was cool to learn about that. He

554
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 3: was mad at me because I didn't go to the draft,

555
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: but he drafted the one player I wanted him to draft,

556
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 3: so that was good, which was the kicker for the Patriots.

557
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 3: I know, the only Venice Swelling in the NFL right now,

558
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 3: but I wanted him to drafting in the first round then.

559
00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: But he did make a good point. If I'm a

560
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 3: GM and I draft I think the last round the

561
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 3: player you wanted me to be drafting the first round

562
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 3: them is I'm a good gem. I'm like, you know,

563
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 3: you're not wrong.

564
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did say that, and he got him, got

565
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 2: him late, Yes, he got him late.

566
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 3: Last pick. See.

567
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 8: Does that make the Patriots your favorite NFL team because

568
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 8: of that connection?

569
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: Yes? But the originally is a forty nine Ers just

570
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 3: because it's like fun, I'm number forty nine and I'm

571
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 3: not like really like into football. Sorry, I'm number forty nine.

572
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 3: Let me just be a forty nine Ers fan just

573
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 3: to just to make it fun. But yeah, right now,

574
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: like the four that are left, I'm going for the

575
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 3: Patriots because of the kicker. How'd you find the love

576
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 3: of forty nine?

577
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 2: Do you have some kind of personal significance to that

578
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: or is that just a number you picked up early?

579
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 3: I actually didn't pick it, but when they gave it

580
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 3: to me, there was a couple of pitchers that I

581
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 3: admired with number forty nine. Ja Corietto was one of

582
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: them who was like super super good when he was

583
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 3: with his Chicago Cubs once. So when they gave me

584
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 3: forty nine, I'm like, you know, it's a really good

585
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 3: pitching number. By the time I considered changing in my

586
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 3: family had gear with forty nine all over, so I'm like, well,

587
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 3: I can't do this to them, So I just stuck

588
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 3: with it. And anymore, if I want to go somewhere now,

589
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 3: I have to like buy the number. Like that's a

590
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 3: tradition in sports where you go somewhere, and like if

591
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: you want that number, you have to buy it. So

592
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 3: when I came to the Twins, I had to buy

593
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 3: it from Louis Varln. So I call him and I'm like, hey,

594
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 3: like can I take forty nine? So like yeah, you

595
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: can take it. And then like spring training, I bought

596
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: him a couple of suits with like some tailor that

597
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 3: went to our camp. Not a bad deal.

Speaker 3: we can like bring back into our culture and you know,

627
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 3: get a good vibe going get something good in the clubhouse.

628
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: So when you get good, good people, good people that

629
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: are also good players, like into the clubhouse, you know,

630
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 3: like we're gonna be able to change a lot of

631
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 3: We're gonna be able to bring a lot of good

632
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 3: things into like our philosophy, our community. So super excited

633
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 3: to meet and him. Hopefully I get to meet him

634
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 3: this weekend.

635
00:27:59,600 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: Go ahead.

636
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 8: I was just gonna ask about his entrance song, because

637
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 8: didn't Michigan confirm, didn't Taylor Rogers have the chain by

638
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 8: Fleetwood Mac. His entrance from the bullpen was awesome and

639
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 8: the ribbon board would have chains on it. And if

640
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 8: you think of Fleetwood Mac, you've I've seen you sing

641
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 8: this in concert.

642
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: Ye, huh, great song.

643
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 8: I would never think what a great baseball entrance song,

644
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 8: but then you hear it and it's sort of dark

645
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 8: and it will never break because it doesn't on the surface,

646
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 8: so like a good pick, but it worked.

647
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: Huh.

648
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 9: And you, as a starter, don't have a bullpen entrance song.

649
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 3: No, I don't have a bullpen entrance, but well I

650
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 3: do get the luxury they play my song for like

651
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: a good thirty forty seconds. Some relievers they get, some

652
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 3: relievers they get get the short end on the stick

653
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 3: because someone comes in and like they're doing some promo

654
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 3: and then by the time the promo's over, the picture

655
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 3: has to pitch, so if some relivers do get the

656
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 3: short end on the stick, I get a little spoiled

657
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 3: because I do get like at least thirty seconds of

658
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 3: my song with a little hype of video. So I mean,

659
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 3: you win some, you lose some. But the closer entrance

660
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: are really really cool. That's been so fun to see

661
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 3: in the last I don't know, anywhere from five to

662
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: six years, how teams are making a cool, like cool

663
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 3: experience when you bring your closer, making light shows, turning

664
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 3: the lights off, like obviously we all know they joined

665
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 3: RAM one and then anywhere around the league you see

666
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 3: teams trying to wind up each other with the entrances.

667
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 3: So it's really cool to see.

668
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 8: Because they used to just jog in from the bullpen

669
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 8: and pitch. Yeah, there was nothing, and now it's.

670
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 3: And now it's now it's a part of the game.

671
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: It's awesome. Yeah, what's your what's your song? I usually

672
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 3: stick to song by Venezuelan artists, so like last year

673
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 3: I had one by this Banayana, which is like my

674
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 3: favorite band right now. But I always try to go

675
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 3: for something that's a little like HiPE, so like I

676
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 3: won Venezuela, but I want something that people can like

677
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 3: move to or dance to, so but I usually try

678
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 3: to stick to like that kind of like that artist

679
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 3: love It sounds good.

680
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 2: All right, More with Pablo Lopez is the Minnesota Twins

681
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: After this Power Drew Morning Joe on the Fan.

682
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: All right, too quick back bathroom break. But don't worry.

683
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: Perry's here and I'm here.

684
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 3: We got we got this covered. We don't need anyone else.

685
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: Can you want to talk about like other sports, like

686
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: basketball stuff like that. Yeah, let's let's break down our

687
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: experts in phone and stuff like that.

688
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're going to break down to the Celtics Golden

689
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 5: State Hawk.

690
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 9: Thanks for the unrivaled assist.

691
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: You're welcome.

692
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 9: Usually Corey isn't here to guide me through that that grid.

693
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, you know you can tell the ones that

694
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 8: the real radio professionals, sure, those that just kind.

695
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 9: Of dip in and out.

696
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 3: She was actually just making fun of me for not

697
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: being able to read that. That's why I can't do

698
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 3: live spots.

699
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 5: So I kind of enjoyed the fact that she messed

700
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 5: it up, you.

701
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: Know, Corey, Yes, sir, I love when we have guests

702
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: in and I try to learn a little bit more

703
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: about him and Pablo Lopez is here, the Minnesota Twins,

704
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: of course, and his home country of Venezuela. Here's something

705
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:08,959
Speaker 1: I did not know until this morning. Christopher Columbus discovered essentially,

706
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: you know what, as we say, Venezuela on his third voyage.

707
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: I didn't know he did more than one, did you guys?

708
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: Oh no, fourteen ninety two we've heard about that. But

709
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: in fourteen ninety eight, I'm the current drug him over

710
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: to Venezuela. There he was, how about that? Didn't know that?

711
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: Learning about your beautiful country and when I say beautiful,

712
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: my goodness, the pictures, holy moly.

713
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know you know it's called Venezuela.

714
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: I do not.

715
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 3: So when people first made it to like what it's,

716
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 3: what's Venezuela right now? They made it actually to my

717
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 3: state through the lake and they saw these like little

718
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 3: houses floating in the water, and then they say like, oh,

719
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 3: it looks like Venice. So Venezuela pretty much meant little Venice.

720
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 3: Oh so, because he gave that feeling. So like these

721
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 3: houses were called parafitos that's pa la fa a no

722
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 3: f I t o s. And then like these were

723
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 3: just like floating houses, so people were moving like in boats.

724
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 3: So they gave like this like Spanish like girls that

725
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 3: impression of like little Venice. Oh wow, I did not

726
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: know that, never thought of that. That makes sense.

727
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 8: Did all the kids and especially all the boys played

728
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 8: baseball all the time when you were growing up?

729
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 3: Most of us, like most of us were always at

730
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 3: the baseball field. That's why I said, like my my

731
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 3: classmates were also my teammates, my team, like my neighbors

732
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 3: were also my teammates, and we were always just playing baseball.

733
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: And like soccer is also big play, but soccers was

734
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 3: more like what you would play either on recess at

735
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 3: school or like sometimes played on the streets, just like

736
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 3: play soccer, Like you would put like two rocks like

737
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 3: at the end of the street and two rocks on

738
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 3: the other like that. That was like the gold sos

739
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 3: like if the if the ball went through those, you

740
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: would score. But it was mainly baseball. Baseball was like

741
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: the most organized to play for a team like little

742
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 3: leagues and then do a lot of like travel ball

743
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 3: within they so it was yeah, like the passion for it.

744
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: It's crazy and it's cool that at least, like my

745
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 3: hometown is still keeping up with the baseball tradition, and

746
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 3: I try to help out as much as I can now,

747
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 3: like sending like supplies for like my brand deals with

748
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 3: like Mizuno that they send me equipment. I also have

749
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 3: a worked on my deal that I get some donation money,

750
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 3: so like I get to buy a decent amount of

751
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 3: gear and equipment and I send it back home to

752
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 3: like the little league where I play. That Wow, awesome.

753
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: I've got a bunch of random baseball questions that okay

754
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: with you, Absolutely okay. As a pitcher, do you have

755
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: to throw the baseball every day or do you feel

756
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: like you should?

757
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 3: So I'm on a five day cycle. The only day

758
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 3: I don't throw it's a day after pitching, and it's

759
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 3: for two reasons. Number one is for rest, like recovery,

760
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 3: like I do enough to recover with like working out

761
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 3: and shoulder exercises. The second reason is because I'm so

762
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 3: sorry the day after pitching that I'm not really getting

763
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: anything out of throwing that day, Like I'm not like

764
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 3: I'm not getting stronger, I'm not getting better at throwing

765
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 3: that day because I'm just so beat up. So the

766
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 3: other days I do throw consistently, so Each day has

767
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 3: a certain distance and volumes. So Day one, I don't throw.

768
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 3: Day two it's like a moderate free covery day. Day

769
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 3: three we call it a bullpen day, which is a

770
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 3: high intensity to day. And then day four it's like

771
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 3: moderate too low because I'm getting ready for day five,

772
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 3: which is game day.

773
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry minding a figure. My You max out, according

774
00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: to Wikipedia at ninety seven miles per hour fastball, but

775
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: your average velocities ninety two to ninety five. Can you

776
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: tell the difference between a ninety one mile prior fastball

777
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: and a ninety eight mile prior fastball or ninety seven

778
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: mile pro fastball when it leaves your hand?

779
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely kill? Really, I mean, and you can tell, like

780
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 3: on the pregame bullpen like oh I'm pumping today, or like, oh,

781
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to figure it out today. And it

782
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 3: just is the nature of the game, is the nature

783
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 3: of life, you know, Like I wish every single day

784
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,240
Speaker 3: I felt my best or like I had my a stuff,

785
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,720
Speaker 3: but it's all gonna happen. Like over thirty two starts

786
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 3: in a season, I may have my best stuff like

787
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 3: eight times. So you're talking like for twenty four stars.

788
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 3: You're just grinding, like you're just like three out of

789
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 3: four times, you're like have to figure out with why

790
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 3: you have you you may not have your A stuff,

791
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 3: but I have to bake my beast off my A

792
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 3: stuff for the day. But like when those eight stars

793
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 3: that I do have myself, like nothing's gonna stop me.

794
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 3: Like I'm gonna be pumping those ninety sevens ninety eight,

795
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 3: so I'm gonna be able to like hit my spots

796
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 3: and every time I'm gonna be able to throw whatever

797
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 3: pitch in any count. So those are the fun days

798
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 3: and those are when those are like your elite stars.

799
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 3: We're all bound to have, like those stars, we're bound

800
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 3: to like have to battle through some and then. So

801
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 3: but you can definitely tell when you have your A stuff.

802
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 3: You can definitely tell when like when the balls like

803
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 3: have like that downhel angle and it's just like you're

804
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 3: never gonna go Like.

805
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 2: Can the opposing team know before the game like, oh crap,

806
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: like Pablo's got it. They can they see it on

807
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: the mound before the game even starts at year that

808
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 2: you're just flinging it.

809
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 3: They can see in big trouble, they can see it

810
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 3: within the first five pitches. The first five pitches, the

811
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 3: first two batters, they can see it. They can also

812
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 3: see it the other way. They can also see it

813
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 3: if you don't have it. So that's why I try

814
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 3: to be like very emotionless on the mound, like I

815
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 3: try to make it. I try emphasize on the trick.

816
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 3: I try to make it seem like everything I'm doing

817
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 3: is by design, Like if I'm all over the place,

818
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 3: I'm like try to be composed to be like that's

819
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 3: my plan. I may be freaking out on the inside,

820
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 3: like what was my stuff right? Like why am I

821
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 3: not throwing strikes when I want to throw strikes? But

822
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 3: on the outside, you have to make it seem like

823
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 3: that's your plan for the day, Like you, that's you,

824
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 3: that's your approach for the day, Like, oh, I'm gonna

825
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 3: be effectively wild today. In the meantime, trying to throw

826
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 3: middle middle and it is just going open in on

827
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 3: these guys. But the opposing team, they're like sharks man.

828
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 3: They smell the blood, Like if they see you bleeding,

829
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 3: they're gonna make you bleed. They're gonna step on you.

830
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 3: They're gonna like find little things to do to row

831
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: you up. Even more so, you have to like find

832
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 3: ways within yourself to stay composed and then externalize that

833
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 3: sense of confidence. I always say that most of life's

834
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 3: most of life is about confidence. And the tricky thing

835
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 3: about confidence someone knows if it's real or fake. So

836
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 3: if you look confident people, my thing you are and

837
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 3: then you try to go with it. And then as

838
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 3: a start, do I get the luxury to try to

839
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 3: go deep into the game. So then like, Okay, I'm

840
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 3: gonna figure out and let me let me try to,

841
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 3: let me try in this moment where it's not a

842
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 3: high livered situation to see if I can find this pitch.

843
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 3: And then when you find it, and then things are

844
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 3: if they start getting in this proof and then like

845
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 3: back the fourth, the fifth to sixth in and like

846
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 3: I'm locked in and I'm able to give the depth

847
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 3: that I want to give. Who's the top? Oh?

848
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 6: Sorry, mart who's the toughest pitcher you you face? Or

849
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 6: excuse me, hitter that you just even if you have

850
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,399
Speaker 6: your ace stuff, you can't get out.

851
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 3: Who is? Who's somebody that comes to mind? Corey Sieger? Yeah,

852
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 3: who's now with the Texas Rangers? Like he, I don't know.

853
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 3: It's mostly one of the And I've heard these things before,

854
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 3: Like some batters, whether it's because of their batting stands

855
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 3: or where they stand in the box, they might be

856
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 3: able to see the ball better out of like any

857
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 3: specific any particular pictures hands. So like Corey Seekers has here.

858
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 3: I think you see like three homers off of me,

859
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 3: all three on different pitches. So I'm so the last

860
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 3: time I face him, like I usually do reports for

861
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 3: the nine guys, I'm gonna face like, I'm just gonna

862
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 3: emphasize some Corey Siger, it was you. It was just

863
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,800
Speaker 3: like a personal thing. I made it personal, like my

864
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 3: reports were so specific for him. I'm like, let me

865
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 3: just find where all the blue blues good like blues

866
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 3: means where they're cold in the batting zone, in the

867
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 3: strike zone. So I'm like, let me find all the

868
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 3: blue So where the blue is with what pitch, what location,

869
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 3: what count So like I made all this plan like

870
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 3: Cory Seekers, Mi g He's not gonna beat me. You

871
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 3: always hear like this is a guy that cannot beat you.

872
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,879
Speaker 3: You want to get after this guy. So I found

873
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 3: the spot, and I'm like, I'm just gonna pepper him

874
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 3: with fastballs inside because in the last two weeks leading

875
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 3: up to that game, he was not getting to that spot.

876
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 3: So I was just peppering him. And that day, thankfully

877
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 3: I had my a stuff, so I was pumping ninety

878
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 3: seven ninety eight opening his kitchen. And then when you

879
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 3: see them cheat, then you buy. Then you buy yourself

880
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 3: some real estate out there. So they always say for pitching,

881
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,920
Speaker 3: like batters can't cover and can't cover everything. If you're thinking,

882
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 3: you can cover outside. So once I made him aware

883
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 3: of in, then I exposed him outside and then that's

884
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 3: just the back and forth. That's just the back and forth.

885
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 3: You use something to open something else. You want to

886
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 3: be one step ahead, Like if I'm going to get

887
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 3: you out with a change up, I have to make

888
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 3: you respect the other part of the zone. So about

889
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 3: it like him that day, I just made it like

890
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 3: my mission to be one step ahead of him. Genius. Wow.

891
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 8: The in the course of a game, when you often

892
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 8: see like an umpire throw a fresh ball or get

893
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 8: the catcher, get a fresh ball from the umpire and

894
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 8: throw to the pitcher and then it's an immediate like

895
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 8: a couple of spins around the hand and toss that

896
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 8: one out.

897
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 9: I need anyone when that happens to you.

898
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 8: What is it that you feel on the baseball that

899
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 8: you don't like most often that you need to feel

900
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 8: when you get a fresh pearl.

901
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 3: They just feel slippery, they feel sleeppery, they feel wet.

902
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 3: Just because some games are so hot, the umpires are

903
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 3: also sweating, and the umpires kip their balls on the

904
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 3: packets next to them, so sometimes you get one and

905
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 3: there's zkim wet. I'm like, this is just sweating. As

906
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 3: much as I am. I'm behind the patcher. So I

907
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 3: actually have a fun joke with my friend Fred, who's

908
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 3: the security guard for the Twins. He sits at the

909
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 3: end of the dog out, so he's like, I'm gonna

910
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 3: count how many of baseballs you throw out, because I

911
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 3: throw a get a load of baseballs. Like every time

912
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 3: I get a baseball, I toss it out. I mean,

913
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 3: I get a baseball and I don't like it, I

914
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 3: toss it out. So he keeps strake up how many

915
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 3: I do. So it's quite a bit.

916
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 9: But why are you tossing them?

917
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 4: What?

918
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 3: They're all wet, They're just slippery, They're slippery. They just

919
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 3: feel like.

920
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 9: Well, then you get one all of a sudden it's sandpaper,

921
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 9: like there it is.

922
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 3: Well, that's just like some sometimes there's no consistence because

923
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 3: it's actually people who's roping these baseballs with a special

924
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 3: mud that they use. But like you know, it's a

925
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 3: human element of it. Like some might be a little darker,

926
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 3: so it might be a little clearer. So there's just

927
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 3: there's just a few that just feel too slippery. But

928
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 3: then also I feel bad if I ask for a

929
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 3: new one and I get one it's also sleepery. I'm like, well,

930
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 3: I can't do I can't be these guys. So I

931
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 3: just then then if I get it a second time,

932
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 3: I have to deal with in.

933
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 2: So a couple of months ago, we had your new manager,

934
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 2: Derek Shelton.

935
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 3: It seems like a great dude. We liked him a

936
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 3: lot fun times.

937
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 2: How much in game difference can a manager make for

938
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 2: a starting pitcher? Like what is the role during the game,

939
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 2: not necessarily coaching off the field before the game?

940
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 3: Like what what?

941
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 2: How important is the relationship between you and Derek. It's

942
00:40:59,880 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 2: a It's a huge relationship.

943
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 3: It's a huge component and the biggest thing it's about confidence.

944
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 3: You know, you want your manager to trust you when

945
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 3: you're in the mountain, then you are the best guy.

946
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 3: You are the best picture to get get this better out. Now,

947
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 3: that's earned. You don't get that for free. You gotta

948
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 3: earn it. So you have to find moments in a

949
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 3: season where like it's one of those situations where like, oh,

950
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 3: the manager might take me out, but I want to

951
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 3: prove to him that in these situations I can still perform.

952
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 3: I'm still your better option, your best option. It could

953
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 3: be later in the game, I'm better than any reliever

954
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 3: right now. Like, that's the mentality you have to have,

955
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 3: and you got to earn that. So you have to

956
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 3: like have conversations with your manager, like leading up to

957
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 3: the game or like the relationship you build with him

958
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 3: to let them let the manager know like, hey, I'm

959
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 3: a competitor. I get the luxury to be spoiled for

960
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 3: four days to get ready for this game. But on

961
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 3: this game, you gotta let me die on that mound.

962
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 3: You gotta let me just blead for my guys. You

963
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 3: gotta let me just be your best option. Like I

964
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 3: have four days to recover, just let me go all out.

965
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 3: So you let the manager know that that's your mentality,

966
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 3: Like that's just how I prepare mysel and then when

967
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 3: you're on the mountain, like that's six seventh inning basis loading, No, ou,

968
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 3: it's late in the game. Like the manager knows that

969
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 3: your built for those moments, and then when he gives

970
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 3: you the opportunity, then you can screw up because then

971
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 3: you're not gonna get it again. Then like the next situation,

972
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 3: it's a high leverage moment, then he's gonna take you out,

973
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 3: which is fine. That's why we have a great bullpen set.

974
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 3: That's why relievers are so nasty nowadays, so they can

975
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 3: get you out of those situations. But like you know,

976
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 3: it's that like ego that we all have as athletes,

977
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 3: Like I want to be the guy to get out

978
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 3: of any situation. So like the manager having your back

979
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 3: in those moments, it just makes a huge difference. And

980
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 3: that's like the kind of guy that Shelton looks to be.

981
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 3: Like he called me the day after he got higher,

982
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 3: which I thought was a super professional move, and like

983
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 3: I appreciated it to no end. So I'm excited to

984
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 3: meet him in person two because then we had a

985
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 3: couple of zoom sessions. But I'm super excited.

986
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: Pablo Lopezigan's our guests in the Minsota Twins, and I

987
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: want to be your best friend now if that's possible.

988
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: You throw a baseball ninety eight miles per hour. You

989
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: have a weapon in your hand every time you throw

990
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: the ball. Do you ever does that ever factor into

991
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 1: your head that you you know, have you ever clobbered anybody?

992
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 3: Does that?

993
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: Does that wear you? Do you? Do you? And if

994
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 1: you do, do you stay up late feeling bad about it?

995
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: How do you deal with that?

996
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,439
Speaker 3: I have? I have my first share of uh hit

997
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: by pitches, And it's a it's a mentality, like when

998
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 3: you're on the mound, you you just know that you

999
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 3: can be afraid of like making people aware that you

1000
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 3: have that weapon. You know the way you word it,

1001
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 3: and like you have that weapon, you never like you

1002
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 3: never want to hurt anybody. Let's like, let me let

1003
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: me just make sure that I'm saying that you never

1004
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,720
Speaker 3: want to hurt anybody, Like if anything has a pitcher,

1005
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 3: I never want to throw balls. I want to throw

1006
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 3: high quality pitches. I want to throw high quality strikes.

1007
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 3: But there's some situations and you know, you may not

1008
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 3: be feeling that you're hitting all of your spots, but

1009
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 3: you also don't want to miss over the zone and

1010
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 3: then like you end up and you end up hitting somebody.

1011
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 3: But I took about being emotionless. I talk about being

1012
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 3: kind of like stoic on the mount, and you can

1013
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 3: show a little bit of like remorse when that happen,

1014
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 3: and you have to just make it seem like, hey,

1015
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 3: I may you aware that I'm gonna pitch inside, and

1016
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,720
Speaker 3: then the batter like the battery on the ondex circles

1017
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 3: paying attention to add the batters and the dog or

1018
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 3: paying attention to that, like this guy's not afraid to

1019
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,799
Speaker 3: pitch in. This guy's not afraid to show that we

1020
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 3: can't get to come from the mount. So you can

1021
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 3: you can flip in to be a little bit positive,

1022
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 3: like I'm gonna use this to make them aware that

1023
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pitch inside. But you also don't want to

1024
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 3: do that. Like a few years back, I was pitching

1025
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 3: against the Saint Louis Cardinals and there was a guy

1026
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 3: that we had to throw inside and I hit him

1027
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 3: in the hand on accident and I actually broke something.

1028
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 3: And he was a Venezuelan guy. So after the game,

1029
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 3: I DM him on Instagram'm like, dude, I'm really sorry,

1030
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,800
Speaker 3: like I heard the news. I hope, like you know,

1031
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,319
Speaker 3: speed of recovery. He's like the warmant's part of the game,

1032
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 3: Like I know you're a true pro, so like you

1033
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 3: do you do feel bad after the fact. Or one

1034
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 3: time it happened and the player, the other player for

1035
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 3: the Royals had to get X raised in our clubhouse

1036
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 3: after and I saw him and I'm like, dude, I'm sorry.

1037
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 3: He's like, don't worry about it. So we do have

1038
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 3: that like after the game, after the fact, once we

1039
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 3: flipped to switch off to like, shoot, I'm not pitching anymore,

1040
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 3: Like how's the guy doing?

1041
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, yep, wow, all right, that's Pablo Lopezant and

1042
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Twins.

1043
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 3: We'll do one more segment with him before we play Initials.

1044
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 2: In like fifteen minutes, one hundred and eight thousand dollars

Speaker 2: up for grabs with the Saint Paul Federal Credit Union Initials.
