WEBVTT - AJ Pierzynski (6-12-26) 

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:04.800
<v Speaker 1>And now an exclusive interview with David Bassey for Dodger Talking.

0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:08.800
<v Speaker 1>We're joined right now by a man that you see

0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:12.960
<v Speaker 1>on Fox Sports and you also see on foul Territory

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>ten to noon Pacific time during the week days. He's

0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.840
<v Speaker 1>a World Series catcher, and he certainly has a lot

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.040
<v Speaker 1>of experience with a few different teams during his nineteen

0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:28.319
<v Speaker 1>major league seasons. And that's the one and only AJ Prazinski. AJ,

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>thanks a lot for the time. Appreciate it, no, bro,

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:32.239
<v Speaker 1>happy to be on.

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:34.919
<v Speaker 2>You know, since I saw you in Milwaukee, I hope

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 2>you've gotten better because you really stuck to doing pool tabs.

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>I know, right, who knows? Aj Prasinski and I could

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>bond in Milwaukee just being able to try to get

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>some poll tabs, which are essentially traps of baseball cards

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and lottery tickets combined into one, right, AJ, Exactly.

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you have to be from the Midwest,

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 2>even though what a poll tab is, I think I

0:00:57.240 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 2>think that might be the only place where we have them.

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, so basically, like in scratch off lottery ticket

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 2>that you pay like a dollar for and you win

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.160
<v Speaker 2>nothing out of by like fifty of them, you win

0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 2>like zero dollars.

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, exactly, instead of looking at your phone, you're pulling

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>these tabs and you're coming up with nothing.

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Exactly. But they're fun. They're fun. They are fun.

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll say that they were fun and you got you

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>got to see the Dodgers in Milwaukee and obviously keep

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 1>tabs on them. Are the Braves the only team that

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 1>could possibly stop the Dodgers at this point in October?

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think so. I think most of the

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers are still the best team going. But I think

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 2>the Phillies, now what they're starting pitcher, I mean Christopher Sanchez,

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Zach Wheeler, Aaron Nola, Pays's WIZARDO in the back end

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>of Duran and the rest of that back end brag

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 2>Keller are healthy in their lineup because they can hit

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>homers and they have guys that have been there. I

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>think the Phillies are a threat. I think the Brewers

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>are a threat. I think if the Brewers can go

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 2>out and find one more pitcher. Listen, you have Mizz

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and Harrison going. That's pretty good. One two punches the

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>back end of their bullpen with your Rebay and McGill

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 2>and some of their other guys they mix a matches great,

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.920
<v Speaker 2>But if they go out and find a hitter, a

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 2>legitimate hitter. And this is not a knock on Bryce Terrang,

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Christian Yelich and some of the other guys that they have,

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 2>William Contreras. But if they could go out and find

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 2>a hitter, and when I say a hitter, I mean

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 2>a guy that is a force, like I don't know

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 2>who that could be, but if they could find a

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 2>guy that is an absolute force where the Dodgers or

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>any other team goes Man, we got a really game

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>plan for this guy because he could at any point

0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 2>can hit a homer against us and change his game.

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.640
<v Speaker 2>I think they could be dangerous just because Pat Murphy

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 2>knows how to handle his team. He knows how to

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>mix a match with the best of them. So there

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>are other teams in the American and the National League

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>that could derail the Dodgers. And let's not forget the

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 2>Dodgers for the last few years have been considered the

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 2>greatest team in history in there about four inches away

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>from losing the World Series last year. So it is possible.

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Is it likely? I don't think so, but it is possible.

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Hey, when you were calling that game in Milwaukee Doween

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers and Brewers. There is a report by Ken

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Rosenthal that kind of went under the radar during that

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>broadcast that the Brewers mine actually kick the tires on

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>bringing in Schooble the way they brought in CC Sabbathia.

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you buy in that they would actually consider that?

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 2>I would if I was them, because then you go

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 2>school bol Masarowski and Harrison, So absolutely I would consider that.

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know. I actually was surprised when Ken

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 2>did that. I told him this after the game that

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.679
<v Speaker 2>after he did that report, I thought he was gonna say, Dodgers,

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 2>We're going to get terror school, and then the whole

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 2>baseball world would go crazy. But when he dropped the Brewers,

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:38.839
<v Speaker 2>I was like, wait, Brewers, waits, what are we talking

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 2>about here? But they did do that the year they

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 2>brought in CC. We saw how well it went for him.

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Would they do that again? I don't know if Matt

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Arnold and the Brewer's front office would be willing to

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 2>do that and meet the prospect costs, But I think

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 2>it would be great for the game if the team,

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 2>like the Brewers, went out and made a crazy move

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 2>like that. Now for me, I'd rather see it be

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 2>a pitch I hit her. But hey, Terry Schoob will

0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>look as in any uniform.

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>AJ. You had a lot of stops in your career.

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 1>One of them was in Atlanta while Freddie Freeman was

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 1>playing there. What was your experience as a teammate with

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Freddie Freeman and did you ever believe that he would

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 1>be going strong at age thirty six? Did you see

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.080
<v Speaker 1>that when you were playing in Atlanta?

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Freddy Freeman was a monster back then and a great

0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you guys, Dodger fans have gotten you know

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 2>what a great person Freddy is. So yes, there was

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.480
<v Speaker 2>never a doubt. Freddy was always special. I mean every

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 2>coach I talked to that knew Freddy. I knew the

0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 2>hitting coach for the Braves before I got there, and

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 2>he told me all about it. He's like, this guy's

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 2>a monster. This is like two thousand, a couple of

0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 2>years before I even went and played there. He's like,

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 2>you got to see this guy and what he can

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 2>do with the bat. And then when I got to

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 2>play with him and seeing on a first hand basis

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 2>it it only made it more. It just amplified it

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.039
<v Speaker 2>even more to a point where I'm like, man, this

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 2>guy really is special. He had to play with him

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 2>for two years, seeing him on a daily basis, the

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.840
<v Speaker 2>way he goes about his work, it has not surprised

0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 2>me at all that he's got a chance to get

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 2>three thousand hits. And you know, the one thing about

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Freddy that was so funny is that when I played

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.600
<v Speaker 2>with Freddy, all he cared about was he just said,

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, Freddy, man, you're going to go to the

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Hall of Fame probably one day with it you as

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 2>good as you are. And he would laugh. He goes,

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 2>you know what all I want is one ring. He's like,

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 2>you have a ring. I don't have a ring. I

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 2>haven't com closed at the time in Atlanta at getting

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 2>a ring because we weren't very good. And now I

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 2>look at Freddy and I'm like, Freddy, you got like

0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:21.760
<v Speaker 2>ten rings, dude. It feels like I feel like you're

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:24.159
<v Speaker 2>winning the ring every year. So one thing about Freddy

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.760
<v Speaker 2>is Freddy wanted to win at all times. And he's

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:28.800
<v Speaker 2>kind of proven out the way. He'll play through paying,

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 2>he'll play injured, and he just shows up every day

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 2>wanting to make his team better, and that is a

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 2>big thing for Freddy Freeman.

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.359
<v Speaker 1>Aj Prasinski, you were behind the scenes with Freddy. Is

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 1>it true that he takes minimal amount of swings in

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the cage to get ready for a game, and how

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 1>abnormal is that, especially in twenty twenty six.

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think I took less of him. I was

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 2>Predy Wow, one of the few guys that actually did

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.760
<v Speaker 2>take less than Freddy. But one thing Freddy figured out

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 2>was it's not how hard you just listen when you

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>take minimal swings, they have to be really good swings.

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 2>But Freddy developed a routine and he would take minimal

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 2>swings and he'd find the one thing he was looking for. Now.

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I see Freddy take a lot of swings when he's struggling,

0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 2>but there are times where you know what, if you're

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 2>feeling it, just take a few swings and go on.

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 2>And Nick Markakas was there at the time. And one

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.080
<v Speaker 2>thing Freddy learned from Nick was Nick was the first

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 2>guy and never saw it take VP on the field.

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 2>He took it. He took it in the cage a lot, right,

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, man, what does this guy doing?

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 2>But all Nick Markakos to do is go out there

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 2>and get hit after hit after hit, and I'm like, man,

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 2>there's something to this. Freddy picked up on it. So

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Freddy kind of became another guy that didn't want to

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 2>take a lot of VP on the field. And hey,

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 2>for some people that work, some people like me, I

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 2>wanted to feel it. I wanted to see it on

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.479
<v Speaker 2>the field. So I was a little bit different. But

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Freddy knew his no, especially now that he's a veteran guy.

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 2>He knows what it takes for him to be ready

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 2>to play, and he shows up every day and he

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:48.040
<v Speaker 2>wants to play. He's ready to play. So you can

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 2>never question Freddy Freeman's work ethic or hey, he takes

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 2>not as many swings, who care as long as he

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.720
<v Speaker 2>shows up at seven o five, takes zero swings, take

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a million swings, just be ready to go that clock strikes.

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Out, and he always is. Aj Prazinski is our guest.

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, you have a strong connection to the White Sox.

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.160
<v Speaker 1>The Dodgers will be in Chicago to start a three

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 1>game series against the Chai Socks on Friday night. What

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.760
<v Speaker 1>can you tell us about the change in Miguel Vargas.

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Everybody knows about Miguel Vargas being one of those hyped

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 1>up prospects, and the trade that the Dodgers made with

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals and White Sox seem to have paid off

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>for the Dodgers in White Sox more than the Cardinals,

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>so it wasn't even trade. But how has Miguel Vargas

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>come into his own Did you see this coming?

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I mean, I think the biggest thing

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 2>that happened to Miguel Vargas is he went to a

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 2>place in Chicago where gets to play every day. Right,

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 2>you got to find a place where you get to

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 2>play and you get to develop. In LA, that wasn't

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 2>going to happen because they were trying to win World Series.

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>They're trying to do all these special things, which obviously

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 2>they're doing. But you got to trade into Chicago. Listen,

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.200
<v Speaker 2>say what you want about LA. There's a little more

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 2>pressure on your in LA when you're trying to win

0:07:58.400 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 2>than there is in Chicago when you're losing a Hunter

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 2>in twenty games. But what it allowed for me Go

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Marts to do is he made some adjustments in his swing.

0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 2>He didn't have to go up there saying man, I

0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.600
<v Speaker 2>want to. I want to. I got to get a

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 2>hit because I want to play tomorrow, right, So if

0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't get a hit, that I'm not going to

0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 2>play and then I'm gonna get platoons and I'm gonna

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 2>have to do this and i'mna to do that. Like hey,

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 2>just go out and play every day. It makes some

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 2>adjustments and learn from it, and that's been a good thing.

0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Some players need that and then they find themselves after

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years. Not everyone is ready the day

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 2>they get to the big leagues. You have to make

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.280
<v Speaker 2>that adjustment. But go Martins has turned him into a

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 2>heck of a player, and he's got a chance to

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.800
<v Speaker 2>do something that hasn't happened in like ninety years, and

0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 2>not to be a starting third baseman from the Chicago

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 2>White Sox in an All Star Game. And if you

0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:38.840
<v Speaker 2>had told Dodgers fans out a couple of years ago,

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 2>they have said no chance. Even maybe White Sox fans.

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're right, Aj. And could you imagine Max Munsey's

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 1>starting at third base for the National League and Vargas

0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:50.680
<v Speaker 1>starting for the American League in the All Star Game.

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>That would be pretty cool.

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well, I love Max, so I hope Max gets

0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 2>every everything he can get. He's one of my he's

0:08:56.800 --> 0:08:59.280
<v Speaker 2>one of our favorite guests on foul Territory. He's awesome.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I love Max to death and I wanted, of course,

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 2>I want him to start.

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Of course you do. He's a connection to foul Territory.

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 1>A j. I could talk to you all day, we

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.680
<v Speaker 1>could spend two hours again like we did together in Milwaukee,

0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 1>but I know you got a busy day. And it's

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:18.440
<v Speaker 1>awesome to share you with la Dodger fans and certainly

0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 1>great to get to know you over the years, but

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>especially bonding in Milwaukee.

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, of course. And listen for Dodgers fans that

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 2>think they're going to go into Chicago and just have

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.599
<v Speaker 2>an easy three games. I'm telling you right now, this

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 2>White Sox team, and they're fun to watch, man. They

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 2>got some offensive power. They're a little bit better if

0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 2>you guys see Davis Martin and Sean Burke and some

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 2>of their other young starters. They got some arms. So

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 2>you know it's not gonna be a cakewalk like he

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.320
<v Speaker 2>used to be for the Dodgers. Just just know that

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 2>going into.

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>It, all right, fair warning, fair warning, And I'm sure

0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>the Young White Sox want to prove something to the

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers that they can be on the same field.

0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Of course, listen, every team when you're a two time

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 2>defending world champion. I remember when I used to play

0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 2>the Yankees, right, the Yankees, said Jeter and that whole team,

0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 2>Bernie and a Rod, and they were coming off all

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.560
<v Speaker 2>their World Series and I was on the Young Twins

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 2>team and you played the Yankees. It was the World Series.

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.000
<v Speaker 2>You're I could compete with these guys. Right when you

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 2>face the Pedro Martinez back in the day, You're, yeah,

0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:15.439
<v Speaker 2>I want to prove to everybody that I can hit

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 2>this guy. Well, Yankees, the Yankees used to get everyone's

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.359
<v Speaker 2>best shot. And guess what now the Dodgers.

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Do, no doubt. AJ Prasinski World Series Champion, All Star,

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 1>nineteen year Major leaguer, and you could see that backwards

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.400
