73
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: Well, look, the way I like to celebrate the reopening

74
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: of Kennywood is by rewatching rick seedbacks seminal nineteen eighty

75
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: eight documentary Kennywood Memories, in which we saw maintenance men

76
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: Gino and Brian oiling the track.

77
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 7: Once the track has been checked out, Brian and Gino

78
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 7: will work on the coaster's chain. Then they'll usually give

79
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 7: the empty train a dry run. It all seems okay.

80
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 7: Gino will then get ready to oil the track.

81
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: Now, I want to point out the way that Gino

82
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: oils the track and then they show it in the

83
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: footage is one of the funniest things you will ever see.

84
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: In your entire life. Now Bill famously coined it as

85
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: the inser centaur.

86
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 3: Because he is It's like his body coming out of

87
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 3: the first cart in the roller coaster, and while the

88
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: coaster is moving, he is leaning over and oiling the rails.

89
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: It is the most outrageous violation.

90
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: OSHA would be losing their mind overseeing somebody do this.

91
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: And yet, oh I screwed it up. I hit the

92
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: wrong button and then went back to the beginning again.

93
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to play it anyways, here hold on.

94
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 7: Once the track has been checked out, Brian and Gino

95
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 7: will work on the coaster's chain. Then they'll usually give

96
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 7: the empty train a dry run. It all seems okay.

97
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 7: Gino will then get ready to oil the track and

98
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 7: he hangs out the front of the train, hangs out

99
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 7: the front lock lock.

100
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: I'll just get in here and put money against the pad.

101
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: And then that that sound effect right there with him

102
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: locked in that first cart is one of the funniest

103
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: things I've ever seen.

104
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 2: Is not cliffed in, you know, Yeah, it's no, it's

105
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 2: the bar that comes up and he just wedges himself

106
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: in the.

107
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Bar and he's like, I'm not going anywhere.

108
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: And then of course the famous falling down the stairs

109
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: while they're working on the coaster.

110
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: The catwalks on.

111
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 7: A roller coaster are most dangerous on a morning like this,

112
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 7: just after a rain. The wet, greasy wood can be

113
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 7: like ice.

114
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 8: All right, Gino, sure you all right?

115
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: Oh that is just music to my ears.

116
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: But the all time great line is from Charles jack

117
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 3: West Junior.

118
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 9: Ah. You always say oh at the end of the ride.

119
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: Not everybody.

120
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 2: You always clap when the plane lands. Always trust me,

121
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: I do it. People love it. The pilot likes it,

122
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: wants to know. I think he did a good job.

123
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 2: And who could forget the one and only best Noograss,

124
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: who's joined us on so many of our Kenny Wood

125
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 2: broadcasts through the years.

126
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 10: It's depending on who I talked to, how long I

127
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 10: doubt or around before I gotta get the ticket? Can

128
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 10: do you say? Trying to turn the ride on about corner?

129
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 10: That's twelve and then it heats up. And if someone

130
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 10: else comes and somebody used to ride it, if you're

131
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 10: if you're early enough, and if it's my manager Christ,

132
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 10: then we get coffee and Corky. The slings are clean.

133
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,559
Speaker 1: They are clean, that accent. She's the best Beth from

134
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: Come On Nobody Bethel, Okay, Java's burn.

135
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: Of course, my buddy Ben worked at Kennywood all through college,

136
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: and you know he'd be like brutally, He's like it's

137
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: the worst place when you're brutally hungover, which he often was,

138
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: and he's like, it's like they know because he would

139
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: get there and they'd put him on the raging rapids,

140
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: on the spinning wheel and he would just walk like

141
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 2: a just just walk the wheel like a treadmill, like

142
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: a hamster wheel, essentially all day in the blistering hot sun,

143
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: just like dry mouth, Like, oh god, at Kenny Wood.

144
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a great movie. Greg Mottolo, I believe

145
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 3: directed that. Who's a Carnegie mellingrad Uh? And so when

146
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: he became a big time director and he wanted to

147
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: do a small movie, he had that one in his

148
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: back pocket and had always remembered Kenny Wood. It is

149
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: funny to me the way that Kenny Wood affects people

150
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: who only have a limited exposure to it. You know,

151
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: people who live in Pittsburgh for a little bit, they

152
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: adopt Kenny Wood as this magical place because it is

153
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 3: despite all the ownership changes. Now here's the thing, you know,

154
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 3: Dollywood owns it now, right like the Dolly Parton company.

155
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 3: I did not know that. Yeah, but it's not like

156
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 3: she's not that active and it. Dolly's like ninety you know,

157
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: and as much as we all love Dolly, don't get

158
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 3: me wrong, I do think they ought to put Dolly in.

159
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 3: Maybe instead of laughing sal they're gonna have laughing Dolly

160
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 3: oh and just a little little jiggly yeah.

161
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

162
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: But I think we've been trying to kind of get

163
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: a hold of them to no avail, and we're trying

164
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 3: to establish a relationship with them because I want to

165
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: go back there, because the ownership kind of was not great.

166
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 3: New They were not easy to work with. They were

167
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: little hands off, you know. It's kind of like they

168
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: were like FSG. You know, guy, they came in, they

169
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: purchased one of our institutions, and we're like, great, you're

171
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 3: of the community now right.

172
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: And they're like, yeah, no, that's snow. We're not your

174
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: That was the vibe.

175
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 8: Ye.

176
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 6: All of my high school buddies moved to Orlando twenty

177
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 6: five years ago.

178
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: I think he's been to Disney World maybe twice.

179
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 6: Every summer when he comes home, he has to go

180
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 6: to Kennywood and spend a day there. Yeah, which it

181
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 6: is five miles from Disney World. But when he comes home,

182
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 6: got to go to Kennywood for a day.

183
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: I never went as a kid.

184
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: I only went as an adult because I didn't grow

185
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: up here and then so but then I moved here,

186
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: you know, basically from college on, and even having the

187
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: exposure to it at that late age, it has that

188
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 3: effect on me. I love going to Kennywood and just

189
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: the vibe. I don't even I like a lot of

190
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: the cool rides because I'm too old to just barf,

191
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: hangover or not, but like just the way it feels

192
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 3: hanging out there and the sounds of everything.

193
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: It really is a time machine.

194
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 6: I once rode the Thunderbolt one hundred and one straight times.

195
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: Without getting off. How old were you?

196
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 6: Five and a half hour about twenty five was a

203
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 6: about the middle of the afternoon, we switched sides. We

204
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 6: switched so one was on the right and one was

205
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 6: on the left.

206
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,520

212
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 6: a while, Yeah, that's kind of hilarious. Though hundred one

213
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 6: times is an impressive feat. Well, it was a challenge

Speaker 6: the coaster day for we were working at B ninety

215
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,480

216
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 6: rode one of the roller coasters.

217
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, I ever wrote

218
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: it the most one I.

219
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 6: Think ever ten speed bikes then or mountain bikes or something,

220
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 6: and we had these big plans.

221
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: We were gonna do this. We're gonna do it ninety

222
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: four times.

223
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 6: Well about the ninety four I said we're gonna we're

224
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 6: gonna make a hundred, and we got the hundred and one,

225
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 6: so we were gonna go out have some beers. Afterwards.

226
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 6: We both felt like crap. I went home with straight

227
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 6: to at like six thirty. That would be brutal physical.

228
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 6: The worst part isn't like the fast The worst part

229
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 6: was where you start going up the big hill when

230
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 6: the chain first grabs it. Yeah, it would get to

231
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 6: the point where you were dreading that chain jerking the car.

232
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, hurt your neck and everything.

233
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 6: Oh for these people to set these Guinness Book of

234
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 6: World's records and do it for four and five days,

235
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 6: I don't know.

236
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: How they Ye, I don't know. I don't know.

237
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 3: My equilibrium is not like ever since I got tanitis

238
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 3: or tenus.

239
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: I can't ride this that stuff. It makes me too dizzy.

240
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: It exasperates the Yeah. Yeah, it's like my inner ear situations. Okay, Yeah, so.

241
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 3: Then I just can't get kind of like dizzy, not

242
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: like irreper but just like I'm gonna be uncomfortable the

243
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 3: rest of the day.

244
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: What's the point of this?

245
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, the wooden coasters are great because there's an element

246
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: of danger. Like, this thing's one hundred and twenty five

247
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: years old. What's keeping it up? Well, they had that cinderblock.

248
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 2: Remember there was the picture on the race there.

249
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: Oh, there was just like a cinderblock underneath one of

250
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 3: the posts.

251
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: That's what's keeping it up.

252
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a section section of Gino failed to paint

253
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 6: this year.

254
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: Yes, Gino.

255
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 7: The catwalks on a roller coaster are most dangerous on

256
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 7: a morning like this, just after a rain, the wet,

257
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 7: greasy wood can be like ice.

258
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 8: All right, Gino, damn sure, you're all right.

259
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 3: You know one time I asked Gino for or maybe

260
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 3: it was Brian, and now I have to go back.

261
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: I think Brian gave it to me because Gino and

262
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 3: Brian are legends out there.

263
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: And when it was Shirt Off your Back.

264
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 3: Night for the Penguins, I'm actually successfully campaign for two

265
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: shirts that I've gotten uh through the years. The first

266
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: one was Edzo when I was shirt after your Back

267
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 3: Night for the Penguins and Edso was the coach. I'm like,

268
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 3: did Edzoe give his shirt to anybody? I want Edzo's

269
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 3: And he brought it into me the next day dry play.

270
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: Yes, oh man, it's hilarious. But I said the same

271
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: thing about Brian and Gino.

272
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 3: I'm like, I want one of theirs, I want the

273
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 3: jersey off their bag, and Brian gave it to me.

274
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 3: I have it, yeah, and it's dirty like it's he

275
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 3: didn't take it to the dry cleaner.

276
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: I can tell you that one. Leave one for the

277
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: dog to sniff. No, but maybe we can use that.

278
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 3: You know how they made the DNA beer from for

279
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: the Immaculate Reception football out at NEMA Colan.

280
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: Have you heard about that?

281
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they scraped the football from the Immaculate Reception which

282
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 3: is out at NEMA Colan, and they had somebody at

283
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 3: the brewmaster at Pittsford Brewing made a beer out of

284
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: the DNA culture that they they scraped.

285
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: Put it in the ye off of them.

286
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I am not kidding and uh and

287
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 3: they told him could taste like a football and he goes,

00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 3: I don't, okay, So he.

289

Speaker 3: I haven't been out to Amico and you can only

294
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 3: get it at Amical.

295
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: Welcome to Jurassic Beer.

296
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: Gold Bloom's like, yeah, yeah, you spent so much time

297
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: thinking about whether or not you could. Didn't think about

298
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: whether or not you should make a beer that tastes

299
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: like an old a.

300
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: Really old football tastes like frenchy food.

301
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: Quat wait a minute.

302
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: Oh no, but that means oh he touched the ball. No,

303
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: but if you did that with Brian's shirt and you

304
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: made a Kenny wood logger out of that, you know

305
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: I think there might be who knows, who knows what

306
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 3: would come up with that might have to be a stout.

307
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: It would have to be like a quadruple back, like

308
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 3: sixty five percent alcohol. We had to do it that way.

309
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: This is legally not beer anymore. You can use this

310
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: in your car. It will power you.

Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but it always feels

316
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: like fields.

317
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 6: I've never been to Fenway. I've been Defendway on the outside,

318
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 6: but the socks weren't home. And Wrigley Fields me is

319
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 6: my favorite place to watch baseball.

320
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: I love Wrigly I spent many My brother lived in

321
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: Wrigleyville for like ten years, eleven years, and so we

322
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: used to just go and spend a weekend in the

323
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: meatuers and it was so much fun. Cubby Bear, Oh yeah,

324
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 3: Cubby Bear. And uh, why am I? Why is it

325
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: escaping me? What's the garage right across the streets? The

326
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 3: bar got I've been there eight million times. I don't

327
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: know what I'm blanking on it this morning, but that's

328
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: where I learned how to play past the hat in

329
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 3: the leachers at Wrigly where it's a dollar a batter,

330
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: and if you you know, everybody puts five bucks in

331
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: a hat and then you pass the hat for every batter,

332
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 3: and if he gets a hit, you take a buck.

333
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: If he makes it out, you put a buck in.

334
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: Gets a double, you take two triple three home run,

335
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: you clear the pot, and then everybody and he's up again.

336
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: But if he strikes out looking you match the pot.

337
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: It's a fun game, I'm telling you right now. It's

338
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: a fun way to spend an afternoon at pirates game.

339
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: We've done it at Pirates games, and people around us

340
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 3: have been invested in what's going on, because especially in

341
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 3: the years when they were there was just no hope

342
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 3: for them and they stunk. That was a fun way

343
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 3: to make it through all nine innings. Sure you know

344
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: what I mean, because they would be like, you know,

345
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: seven to two in the seventh like it was, you

346
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: know yesterday, and you'd kind of be like, all right,

347
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 3: let's get out of here. Unless you had money with

348
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 3: your friends and every bat counts.

349
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: It's very fun.

350
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 6: I took my dad to Wrigley Field for his seventieth birthday.

351
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 6: He pitched minor league baseball before he got drafted to

352
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 6: go to Korea. Oh no kidding, And that was the

353
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 6: first time he was on a plane since he flew

354
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 6: home from Korea. And it was one of the best

355
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 6: dad son and I was much closer with my mother

356
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 6: than my dad, but that was the best three days

357
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 6: I ever spent with him. We went to three in fact,

358

00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 6: everybody leaves and we're just sitting there in the stands talk.

Speaker 1: our day. It was cool.

383
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: It was super fun. I grabbed like a handful of

384
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 3: dirt like I was gonna have it my whole life

385
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: or something.

386
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: Well here's one for you.

387
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 6: Today's the date the first game was ever played at

388
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 6: Fenway Park, nineteen nineteen or nineteen twelve. I can't I

389
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 6: remember the year the same way as the Titanic, I

390
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 6: know that, but oh that it'll be nineteen twelve. It

391
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 6: was the Red Sox against I think Harvard. It was

392
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 6: an exhibition game, really it was. It was opening that

393
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 6: season and they played the first game there.

394
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

395
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tiger Stadium, Wrigley Field, Fenway they all had that

396
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 3: same exact kind of design and the thing that you

397
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 3: always noticed in those places. We talked about with Mike

398
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 3: last week because he was at Fenway. It was built

399
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 3: for the body type of people in the early nineteen hundreds.

400
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they just weren't.

401
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 3: As tall or big or wide as we are now,

402
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 3: and it's kind of hard to make your way around those,

403
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 3: especially Stadium Tiger Stadium was. I was never there. Oh god,

404
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 3: it was so fun that it was not in a

405
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 3: great part of town.

406
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: I've driven by it is. It's still up.

407
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 6: It was still when the Penguins played the win Wings

408
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 6: in the playoffs when eight and oh nine. It was

409
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 6: still up and some high school championships were still being

410
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 6: out there. And when we drove by it there was

411
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 6: a lot of boarded up warehouses and yeah, street activity

412
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 6: happening around it.

413
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 3: The bar that was like remember where Roosevela was like

414
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: compared to PNC Park Lace just down the street, like

415
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 3: their version of that.

416
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: There was one of the grittiest bars they've ever been

417
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 1: to my life.

418
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: My dad would always be like, tell you what, this place,

419
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 3: this is not for amateurs.

420
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: And I'd always be like, I know, it's the best.

421
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: Like you have to go in there, and you know,

422
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: it's kind of like the Soup Nazi thing, like don't

00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: don't make a scene here.

00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 6: wooden barrel with suspenders, already lost everything he took out.

444
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 3: Out and then a tiny wooden barrel that he's spitting in.

445
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 8: All right.

446
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: Well, the Pirates of a day off in Chicago.

447
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 6: They started three game series at Wigley Field tomorrow afternoon.

448
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 6: All three of the games this weekend will be two

449
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 6: twenty starts. Carmen Madjinski, Braxton Ashcraft, and Bobbett Chandler all

450
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 6: scheduled to pitch for the Pirates. Hey, they lost yesterday,

451
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 6: but they took four out of six on the homestand

452
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 6: to playing five hundred on the road, he said, you

453
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 6: play five hundred on the road for a year, you

454
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 6: know you would be a postseason team. Big news yesterday,

455
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 6: though what didn't happen on the field. It happened before

456
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 6: they took the field at the PNC Park and when

457
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 6: they signed Connor Griffin to a nine year contract extension.

458
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 6: It's the biggest contract in Pirates history. Their payrolls up,

459
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 6: the highest that's ever been in history. It could be

460
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 6: up to one hundred and fifty million dollars for the

461
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 6: nine years, depending on incentives. Give ben Cherrington and his

462
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 6: guy's a lot of credit. I mean, this guy was

463
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 6: drafted ninth overall. He wasn't you know, a clear cut

464
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 6: number one, as Paul Skeens.

465
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 8: Was since the day Junter signed.

466
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 12: He has not only met every challenge that's been to

467
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 12: the front of him from a baseball perspective, skill development perspective,

468
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 12: but he's done that in a way that has always

469
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 12: been about the team, putting the team first, representing himself,

470
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 12: his family, and the organization in the most first class manner.

471
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 8: And he has earned trust through that.

472
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 12: And you don't get to this point without earning that

473
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 12: level of trust. And it's gonna be fun to see

474
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 12: him continue that journey. Now the group of players we

475
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 12: have in this clubhouse and watch Connor and the teammates

476
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 12: in this room continue to challenge you soether to be

477
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 12: better every day.

478
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 8: It's gonna be fun to see that.

479
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 12: And really, disagreement reflects our belief in this team in

480
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 12: this twenty twenty sixteen and are full focus on making

481
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 12: this team the most important thing in twenty twenty six.

482
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 6: Empty on so interesting too. Do you guys know about

483
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 6: this PPI thing? Have you read about that at all?

484
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 6: It's called the Prospect Promotion Incentive. I wasn't aware of this.

485
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 6: They handled this really well too. What it does in

486
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 6: Major League base player it encourages you to bring up

487
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 6: top one hundred prospects early, don't sit on them so

488
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 6: that you can keep your control. And if you bring

489
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 6: them up early enough and they win a major award,

490
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 6: you get an extra draft pick at the end of

491
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 6: the first round. Now, they didn't get it with Paul's

492
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 6: schemes when he won Rookie of the Year because they

493
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 6: didn't bring him up to May eleventh. And you also

494
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 6: can't have signed him to a contract extension until after

495
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 6: you brought him up. So they did it perfect. They

496
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 6: brought him up. There was no talk of it. You know,

497
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 6: every last week I was like, does this mean he

498
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 6: got an extension? It was very quiet. Well, now yesterday

499
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 6: they announced the extension. So if he would happen to

500
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 6: win Rookie of the Year or finish in the top three,

501
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 6: then VP voting.

502
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: The Pirates will get an extra draft pick. Yeah, at

503
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: the end of the first round. Pretty cool.

504
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people misunderstood that aspect of it.

505
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 3: They thought there was a date. I think April, not today,

506
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: was the date that everyone was saying that he had

507
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 3: to be up.

508
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it was too. I think it's within

509
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 6: the first two weeks. Yeah, that would be right then.

510
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 3: And I think people thought that they were going to

511
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 3: lose a draft pick if he didn't come up before

512
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 3: then or something, and there was a lot of like

513
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: misconception over what that all was. It makes sense that

514
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 3: they handled it the way they did, but you know,

515
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 3: Kevin Gorman did a good job of explaining it to

516
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 3: us a week ago when we did our home opener

517
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 3: broadcast and oh yeah, by the way, Mike Mike spearbar

518
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: great time. That was so much fun last week tat

519
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 3: like we not even planning on it, and Brian Giles

520
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 3: and Jason Kendall show up to hang out with Steve

521
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 3: blasts on the air.

522
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: That was so great, and.

523
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 3: You know, it was funny. I was talking to them

524
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 3: and I don't think they had any sense of how

525
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 3: beloved they are here because they haven't been back forever

526
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: and they weren't unwinning teams.

527
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: And I was like, that does not matter here.

528
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 3: You were tough players, like you played the right way

529
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,440
Speaker 3: in an air whin thing. You were the only bright

530
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: spots on that team. This town loved you and for

531
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 3: a whole generation, you were the only guys that they

532
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 3: were rooting for.

533
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sorry, couldn't join you.

534
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 6: Guys that that originally asked me to do it on Wednesday,

535
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 6: which I could make, and then when I moved to

536
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 6: the Switch on Thursday.

537
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: One of my one of my favorite stories I ever covered.

538
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: They sent me out to Manhattan Beach.

539
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 6: Out there when kendled a nasty able anchor Injery brutal

540
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 6: so when he was rehabbing it that winter, a lot

541
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 6: of what he did was run the sand dunes because

542
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 6: it pronated the ankle with every direction. So they sent

543
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 6: me out there to do a three part series on

544
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 6: him rehabbing.

545
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: And the first day we're there, we interview him.

546
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 6: His dad was there, a former Major leaguer, Yeah, I

547
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 6: think he was coaching for the Rockies at the time.

548
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: And it's a Sunday afternoon and we finished up shooting

549
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: what are you guys doing?

550
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 6: Then I know we're going to go watch the Sunday

551
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 6: night football game somewhere, and he goes, well, we go

552
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 6: to this little bar down at the beach. ME and

553
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 6: a couple of my high school buddies, if you want

554
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 6: to join us, it's just like chili dogs and stuff,

555
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 6: So we go. It was Jason Kendall, a buddy his

556
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 6: who was a custodian. Another guy was working for a

557
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 6: local cable company out there trying to get into sportscasting,

558
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 6: and the next day we went ocean kayaking. He had kayaks.

559
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 6: He said, you do like the ocean. It was the

560
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 6: best three days.

561
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: That's awesome. It was fantastic.

562
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 3: And also that runs counter to the perception of his

563
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: personality at the time, because he was always described being

564
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 3: a very tough duday he.

565
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 6: Could be surly, But that trip I think somehow cemented

566
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 6: our friendship.

567
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: At least. He was always good to me after that.

568
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: But it's fun.

569
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 3: I will say that he was the exact opposite when

570
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: we hung out with him on Thursday night.

571
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: Abbey.

572
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think guys mellow out after they quit playing

573
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 6: to when when someone's not asking him every single day.

574
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: How time you swung it? You know a ball four

575
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: and that seven things? Right?

576
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

577
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 3: Well, also, he was kind of on a crappy team

578
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 3: with bad ownership, and there wasn't a lot he could

579
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 3: say outside of hey, yeah, if we spend any money

580
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 3: on players, maybe we'd have a chance. And you know,

581
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 3: you're expecting to get blood out of a stone here, right,

582
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: you know, like it's not going to happen with this lineup.

583
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: Right, Well, it's a big hockey night.

584
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 6: Uh not in Pittsburgh, but in New Jersey. If the

585
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 6: Penguins win, they clinch a playoff spot for the first

586
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 6: time in four years.

587
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: So how about this.

588
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,919
Speaker 6: If they get into playoffs, which is the ninety nine

589
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 6: percent chance they do, it'll be their seventeenth playoff appearance

590
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 6: in the Crosby Maulkin era, most in the entire NHL.

591
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: Pretty amazing when you think of something would have missed

592
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: four times. Yeah, that's really amazing.

593
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk box with Sean Casey, the mayor when

594
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,359

Speaker 3: but it's up there. Aside from being hard on people,

630
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 6: I have a in my office at home, sewn, I

631
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 6: have a bat you autographed to me.

632
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 1: It's it's on proud display. I still have it.

633
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 9: I appreciate that guy. It must have been a long

634
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 9: time ago, huh.

635
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: I think we did some stuff for the Miracle League

636
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: and you sent it to me.

637
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, thanks dude. Appreciate you man always, man, Thank you well.

638
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 3: Case. We had a great time hanging out at Mike's

639
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 3: beer bar last week to get ready for the home opener,

640
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 3: and that scene with Connor Griffin last Friday, not just

641
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,719
Speaker 3: him knocking in a couple of runs at his first

642
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: bat there or a run.

643
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: But scoring like two pitches later or whatever. I mean.

644
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 3: I remember I was still standing up in just disbelief

645
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 3: that he met the moment like that, because as soon

646
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: as you know, we talked about it last Thursday night,

647
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 3: as soon as they were announcing they were bringing him up,

648
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 3: demand for tickets for that game went through the roof.

649
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: The expectation was sky high.

650
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 3: And in that game, I felt like, you know, that

651
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 3: first at bat he really created a moment for Pirate

652
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 3: fans that they're never going to forget. And then fast

653
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 3: forward a week later and it's a done deal. He

654
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 3: has signed, And I think it's pretty telling case that

655
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 3: at the presser announcing this yesterday.

656
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: The team walked over to be there with him. Yeah.

657
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, that says a lot, right. I mean, man, there's

658
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 9: so much to unpack there, Randy, And you're right, man,

659
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 9: you know, first off, going back to that open day,

660
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 9: I mean, well, I mean I think baseball was excited

661
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 9: and the Pirates officely the Pirate fans. But when he

662
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 9: came to bat and the emotion that was kind of

663
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 9: in the place and everyone was standing.

664
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 12: Uh.

665
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 9: And then he comes through. You know, he starts spitting

666
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 9: on those sliders too, because he's swung in a couple,

667
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 9: and then he started like seeing the spin, did a

668
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 9: great job of kind of bringing it back to him,

669
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 9: and then he shoots one in the gap, which was incredible.

670
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 9: And then you're right, they shows his athleticism scoring on

671
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 9: that ball hit the right field, So that was incredible.

672
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 9: But for the Pirates to be able to lock this

673
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 9: kid up, you know when for nine years, one hundred

674
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 9: and forty million dollars, I mean, I believe it's the

675
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 9: steal for the Pirates and this kid is hits the

676
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 9: steal and this kid's gonna be special.

677
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: Man.

678
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 9: This kid when you talk about you know, teenagers that

679
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 9: have come up in the last so many years. You know,

680
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 9: you're talking guys like you know, Mike Trout and some

681
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 9: of the best guys in the game, and even thinking

682
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 9: about Ken Griffey Junior back in the day coming up,

683
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 9: you know, at nineteen years old. So you don't just

684
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 9: bring up nineteen year olds to the big leagues and

685
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 9: not think that they're going to be star players.

686
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: And he has everything you want.

687
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 9: I mean, this kid is a president six four, two thirty,

688
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 9: can run, can hit, hit for power, hit for average,

689
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 9: has a great approach the plate already at nineteen. I'm

690
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 9: looking at him going, Wow, what an approach he has.

691
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 9: So uh, it's a special special time right now for

692
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 9: Pirate fans and obviously for Connor Griffin and his family.

693
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 3: Okay, I want to talk about that approach at the

694
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 3: plate because after that game he struggled a little bit.

695
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 3: Now it's a very small sample size, only a couple

696
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: of games. And then you had the people who have

697
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 3: been beaten down by the futility of the Pirates over

698
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 3: the last twenty years going, ah, this Cay's not ready and.

699
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: They shouldn't have brought him up. I never saw that.

700
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 3: I saw somebody who was figuring it out and he

701
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 3: was making contact, and it looked like he was not overmatched.

702
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 3: He you know, he was just dicing him up in

703
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 3: Indy before he brought him up.

704
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: So this was the next logical step. I thought.

705
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: He gets a couple of hits on Tuesday night, and

706
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 3: he's looking more and more comfortable.

707
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: Tell us about what you're seeing in his evolution in

708
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: this one week.

709
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: I want to point out for the people who were wondering,

710
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 3: you know, well, he's not hitting the ball yet, he's

711
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 3: only got three hits or whatever, like, yeah, it's it's

712
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 3: been a week.

713
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: Ozuna doesn't have that many.

714
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 9: It's I'm seeing it exactly how you're seeing it, Randy.

715
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 9: I mean, if you go look at some of his

716
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 9: at bats, he lined out the short the one time,

717
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 9: he's put together some good at bats, putting the ball

718
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 9: and play hard. I mean that's your biggest thing. I mean, uh,

719
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 9: you know, when I watch him, I think that first

720
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 9: at bats said a lot, and then the other day

721
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 9: he hit a couple of balls the right. You know,

722
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 9: the biggest thing for me is that you know, he's

723
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 9: quiet up there. I mean, the biggest thing when you

724
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 9: get to the big league is can you slow the

725
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 9: game down, and when you're a nineteen year old kid

726
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 9: with expectations that are through the roof. I've been very

727
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 9: impressed about some of his takes. I've been very impressed

728
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 9: about the way he puts together his approach and the

729
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 9: process of his at bats. And if you do that

730
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 9: over one sixty two, you're gonna put up numbers. And

731
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 9: that's what you're gonna see. This guy put up some

732
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 9: numbers because there's gonna be a week where he's super hot.

733
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,479
Speaker 9: And that's why an average is an average, and average

734
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 9: goes up and average goes down, you know. And I

735
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 9: think the biggest thing with him, You're gonna see a

736
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 9: week where he hits four fifty with a couple of pumps,

737
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 9: gonna be like, this is the greatest guy in the world,

738
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 9: and you're gonna look up when he's sitting two eighty.

739
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 9: It's like, So it's the evolution of learning to play

740
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 9: in the big leagues and learning to play at this level.

741
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 3: In case you played on teams with superstars, well, heck,

742
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 3: you bet a superstar. But with somebody who's a phenom

743
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,239
Speaker 3: like Ken Griffy Junior is on the roster with you,

744
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 3: it's a little different. When a nineteen year old comes

745
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 3: in and now he is lauded as the next guy.

746
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 3: You know, Griffy had that when he was with the Mariners.

747
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 3: But Ken, you know, guy was talking about this earlier

748
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 3: where Connor Griffin was worried about the effect his the

749
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 3: all the attention being thrust upon him was going to

750
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 3: have on the rest of the lineup, which I think

751
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 3: is a very mature thing to even think about. But

752
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 3: what does it do to the rest of the lineup

753
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 3: when you have somebody that is getting that much attention

754
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 3: in the other eight don't have as big of a

755
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 3: light shone on them.

756
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: Is there a negative effect? Or is that just all

757
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: that positive?

758
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 3: Like yep, I get to go about my business and

759
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 3: kind of playing with Sydney Crosby.

760
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 9: It's net positive, man, Especially when you've got a nineteen

761
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 9: year old kid that comes up and you're a veteran player,

762
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 9: it's a joel to energy like, oh man, look at

763
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 9: this kid nineteen. Place is going crazy, like you know,

764
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 9: it's going to give everybody energy and at the end

765
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 9: of the day, you know these I think the biggest

766
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 9: thing about a lot of the veteran guys that they

767
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 9: have up there there's a lot of veteran pros, you know,

768
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 9: know about what they need to do to do to

769
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 9: go about their business. They're not so worried about Connor

770
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 9: Griffin's attention, you know, they're worry about getting hits tonight.

771
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 9: And I think the other thing too, you know, being

772
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 9: around Paul Skins for a few weeks at the WBC,

773
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 9: there's something about Paul Skins that says, hey, listen, you know,

774
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 9: we're a team here and everybody's got to pull their weight.

775
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: So whether you're a nineteen.

776
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 9: Year old superstar, whether you're a guy like O'Hearn who's

777
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 9: been brought in his free agency or Allow has been

778
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 9: traded Ozuna, O'Neill, Reynolds, you know, hey, everybody's got a

779
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 9: job to do and whatever that is, and whatever your

780
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 9: role is, let's make sure we do that. So I

781
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 9: think there's a there's a there's a leadership too from

782
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 9: Schemes and Donnie Kelly right now that you know, is

783
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 9: very positive. And I think all these guys are pulling

784
