WEBVTT - 8-07 Around The Park with Kruk & Kuip

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Hey, everybody, it's around the Park of the Crook and Kype.

0:00:02.400 --> 0:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>And today we're going to talk about the lineup tonight

0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>and all the new faces the Giants fans will see.

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:09.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about that when we come back. Hey, everybody,

0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>it's around the Park of the Crook and Kuype. And

0:00:11.560 --> 0:00:14.480
<v Speaker 1>today is game one of this three game series between

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:18.880
<v Speaker 1>the Detroit Tigers and the San Francisco Giants. And this

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>is the first time that the Giants fans are going

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>to see this Giants team at home with this new

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>lineup since the trade deadline. And there are some players

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:35.040
<v Speaker 1>that the Giants fans have to have to learn who

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.879
<v Speaker 1>they are and what their game is, what their talents are,

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>because that's kind of where we are between now and

0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>what's going to happen at the end of the season.

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Is going to be a lot of opportunity for young

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>players who have earned the right to be here, but

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>now they have to find the comfort zone and they

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>have to prove that they can stay here. And the

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 1>old saying in baseball is it's easy to get to

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>the big leagues, which it's not hard to stay here,

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and that's what we're going to be witnessing these last

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:04.679
<v Speaker 1>couple of months.

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know, look, there's always a little bit

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 2>of I don't know what's the word anxiety. I mean

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 2>you you know, you're trying to win as many games

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.000
<v Speaker 2>as you can, but you just don't have the horses

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.680
<v Speaker 2>that you had before the trade deadline. I mean, you

0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 2>look at the Giants lineup. From Daniel Sussac, who's hitting fifth,

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 2>I'll go down the line from there with RBIs twenty two,

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, eight, two and one. So that's what you

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 2>have to live with, and you have to understand that

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 2>this team is probably not going to score a lot

0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 2>of runs. But it's also a time where you have

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 2>to find out what each guy can do and can

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 2>they help you in twenty twenty seven. And from their standpoint,

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to make the team for twenty twenty seven

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and they're trying to get noticed. And and that's why

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>a lot of times it's going to be fun to

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:06.320
<v Speaker 2>watch a team that now looks like the Giants, because

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 2>you're going to see a massive effort coming from those

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 2>guys and they're going to run around and do some stuff,

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes it's very exciting.

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>The thing that Buster Posey and his staff are going

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.119
<v Speaker 1>to look at, is how many of these guys get

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>comfortable with the speed of the game. Are they in

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 1>control of their position, Are they in control of their

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>at bats? Are they in control of the rhythm of

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 1>the game when they're on the mounds, Because this game

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>is not like any other game that you'll ever play

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>as a baseball player because of the speed with which

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>it's played and the rhythms that go around the game

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>that you have to be responsible for. For a pitcher,

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 1>you have to be responsible for your own rhythm. You

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.839
<v Speaker 1>have to be responsible for the rhythm that you have

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>with that hitter because you're trying to upset his timing.

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>That's what your job is. But you're also trying to

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>control the rhythm of the runners on base. That's all

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>your responsibility. And when all these things are going off,

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:09.959
<v Speaker 1>you got guys in the box you're trying to mess

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>with your rhythm. You got guys who are on base

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>that are trying to mess with your rhythm. You got

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>guys on the bench that were yelling at you to

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 1>try and upset your rhythm, and you've got fans that

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.680
<v Speaker 1>can boo you. All of these things can be distractions,

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>but you have to find a way and this is

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>what they're going to be watching. And it's the same

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.559
<v Speaker 1>thing for a hitter. How can you control your at bad?

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>How can you control yourself when you're on the base paths?

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>What's your instinct? A lot to be learned from these

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>guys who are suiting up and putting on the Giants

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 1>uniform right now. But it will not be boring.

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and these guys, I hope they realize that because

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>this season is going sideways for the Giants, this is

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 2>a grand, grand opportunity for them because if they're on

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 2>a good team, they're not playing as much or maybe

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 2>even at all, So they need to take advantage of this.

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 2>You know. By the way, did I hear you're going

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 2>to retire?

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I guess I am.

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 2>All right. Well, then that's the way it is around

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 2>the park with Crooked kype Enjoy the ballgame.
