Speaker 1: Now back to murphin markets on the Sports Leader, streaming
Speaker 1: live on the Sports Leader dot com at knbr V
Speaker 1: sports Leader app.
Speaker 2: A.
Speaker 3: Forty football is our big theme to day.
Speaker 4: Forty nine Ers kickoff at six o'clock tonight at Levi Stadium.
Speaker 4: We'll see who gets out there looking good. Forty nine
Speaker 4: ers back in our lives since the first time since
Speaker 4: then Seahawks playoff.
Speaker 3: That was in January. It's August.
Speaker 4: It's a whole new season, twenty twenty six, and so
Speaker 4: pregame at three and of course the forty nine Ers
Speaker 4: kickoff at six.
Speaker 3: That'll be fun, all right, Marcus fun? You ready take
Speaker 3: a quiz, buddy? Oh no, not really? Lat that you
Speaker 3: birds that you never wanted to hear. You're asking the
Speaker 3: wrong guy. What if? What if I told you it
Speaker 3: was about football? Ah that I'm all in you.
Speaker 4: You're much more fired up, yes not algebra, much better
Speaker 4: on the gridiron than I am with geometry. Okay, So
Speaker 4: Dan Orlowski, friend of the program, Danny, Oh, we had
Speaker 4: him on Radio Row. He did a fun little list.
Speaker 4: We all love our lists in our rankings. So I'm
Speaker 4: gonna quiz you as to how well you think Danny
Speaker 4: O rates these quarterbacks, but more important, how you rate
Speaker 4: him too? And what he did was he said, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: he talks about their top quarterbacks. He goes, but what
Speaker 4: about the elements that make up a quarterback like arm strength,
Speaker 4: ball placement, mechanics, decision making. Oh, we got music, pocket presence,
Speaker 4: second reaction, and rushing ability. These are the elements that
Speaker 4: make up a quarterback. And he ranked the top ten
Speaker 4: quarterbacks in each skill set. Okay, so I'm gonna throw
Speaker 4: the skill set at it and you tell me whether
Speaker 4: or not Orlovsky put brock Purdy in the top ten
Speaker 4: of that skill set. All right, let's get at the
Speaker 4: factor in what you think of the quarterback and what
Speaker 4: you think Orlowsky might have thought of the quarterbacks or yes, sir,
Speaker 4: let's do it.
Speaker 3: So let's start with arm strength.
Speaker 4: Did did Dan Orlovsky put brock Purty in the top
Speaker 4: ten NFL quarterback arm strength?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: I'm guessing he did not put brock Purty in the
Speaker 5: top ten when it comes to arm strength. Why do
Speaker 5: you say that, I would say, because that's one of
Speaker 5: the knocks on brock Purty is that he does not
Speaker 5: have the arm of a Josh Allen or Justin Herbert.
Speaker 5: That's one of the big reasons why he was mister
Speaker 5: irrelevant and not viewed as a first round quarterback. We
Speaker 5: had some applause for our A student looked at that
Speaker 5: one for one, one for one. Those who made it
Speaker 5: Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Caleb Williams, Matt Stafford, Pat Mahomes,
Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield, Drake May, Joe Burrow, Lamar.
Speaker 3: Jackson, and Dak Prescott.
Speaker 4: Those are Armstrake cats. All right, Marcus, Next up, ball placement?
Speaker 3: Pause?
Speaker 4: Ball placement is dan Arlowski? Does dan Orolowski put brock
Speaker 4: Party in the top ten quarterbacks.
Speaker 3: In ball placement?
Speaker 5: Well, we are talking about the layer King. Brock Purty
Speaker 5: is a fantastic quarterback when it comes to attack in
Speaker 5: the middle of the field. So I'm gonna say yes,
Speaker 5: Danny O does have brock Purty top.
Speaker 3: Ten in ball placement. Give this young man another a
Speaker 3: plus here. He does, he does, He has him ninth.
Speaker 4: Matt Stafford, Drake May, Sam Darnold, Joe Burrow, Jared Goff,
Speaker 4: Jordan Love, Josh Allen, Lamar, Jackson, brock Purty, Perdy, Dak Prescott. Again,
Speaker 4: all right, Marcus, you're hot. Mechanics. Mechanics, clear, smooth throwing motion,
Speaker 4: strong based, repeatable processes. Is Brock pretty a top ten mechanics?
Speaker 5: Personally, I would put him in the top ten. I
Speaker 5: think Brock has great footwork in the pocket. So I'm saying,
Speaker 5: why the hell not Danny O throw him in the
Speaker 5: top ten?
Speaker 3: You were doing so well? Ah, I knew it.
Speaker 5: That's my gut feeling that he wouldn't get the respect
Speaker 5: when it comes to his mechanics. But I don't mind
Speaker 5: his mechanics at all.
Speaker 3: You're two and one.
Speaker 4: Matt Stafford, Joe Burrow, Dan Jones, Danan Jones, Vanilla Vick
Speaker 4: has better mechanics and Brock party, Jared Goff, Dak Prescott.
Speaker 4: Here's a guy much mon CJ. Stroud, CAYLEB Williams, Jayden Daniels,
Speaker 4: your guy, Josh Allen and Lamar A right for a
Speaker 4: running back? Decision making with the football? Decision making with
Speaker 4: the football? Did Dan Orlowski put brock Perty in a
Speaker 4: top ten decision maker?
Speaker 5: I say yes, brock Perty has that processing chip. He's
Speaker 5: the reason why that he's the reason why he's been
Speaker 5: better than any other quarterback in Kyle Shanahan system. In
Speaker 5: San Francisco top ten. I would say you were doing
Speaker 5: so well. Man, jeez, this is just like real life.
Speaker 5: I get out to a hot start because I'm just
Speaker 5: guessing answers and next to you know, I'm sitting here
Speaker 5: with the fuck making.
Speaker 3: The right source. This is makes uh.
Speaker 4: It means about making the only choice when things are
Speaker 4: falling apart, find the correct outlet of void mistakes, turnovers
Speaker 4: in negative place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I disagree with Jos You can you can? This
Speaker 3: is just a fun little game.
Speaker 4: Josh Allen, Matt Stafford, Jordan Loved, Drake May, Jayden Daniels,
Speaker 4: Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Pat Mahomes, and Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 5: Jordan Love wasn't making great decisions with all those interceptions
Speaker 5: in the second half when he lost to Rock Purty
Speaker 5: Pocket Presence?
Speaker 4: Did dan Orlowski put Brock Purty in his top ten
Speaker 4: pocket presence again?
Speaker 5: I think you should be top ten in pocket presence
Speaker 5: because of his ability to extend places. But I'm gonna
Speaker 5: say no, dan Orloski did not put him in the
Speaker 5: top ten pocket presence.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna help you right now as your
Speaker 4: tutor go back to the first part of your thoughts.
Speaker 3: That oh, this is what they say on the SAT.
Speaker 3: You gotta trust your gun. Yes, of course. Dan Orloski
Speaker 3: has him in the top ten.
Speaker 4: You give this man around, look at me go the
Speaker 4: action has the highest has him number eight, Drake may
Speaker 4: number one, Joe Burrow to Sam Darnold, three, Herbert Prescott, Lamar, Caleb, Caleb,
Speaker 4: Brock Purty. Then he has Dan Jones and Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 4: There So there you go, guys. Uh So, brock Party
Speaker 4: makes the pocket presence. All right, we're winding up here.
Speaker 4: Second reactionability, This is working outside the pocket when things
Speaker 4: get derailed.
Speaker 3: Is brock Party a top ten?
Speaker 4: Second reactionability quarterback per Dan Rolowski.
Speaker 5: Playground Party, Brackyard Brock put him on the top ten list.
Speaker 4: Danio give this kid an a plus. In fact, it's
Speaker 4: his highest rating, number seven, up there with Josh Allen,
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams, who gets a lot of it, Pat Mahomes,
Speaker 4: Drake may Sam Donald bow Knicks, bo Nicks, Brock, Lamar,
Speaker 4: Jaden Daniels, and Baker Mayfield. And then finally rushing ability.
Speaker 4: Rushing ability, uh top ten? Is brock Party a top
Speaker 4: ten rushing quarterback in.
Speaker 5: The I don't think he's viewed as a scrambling quarterback,
Speaker 5: and there are much easier options to pick in the
Speaker 5: top ten or should I say top five, I'd say
Speaker 5: maybe he squeezed in, but my gut tells me Danny
Speaker 5: Oh left him off that list.
Speaker 3: Give this man an a plus.
Speaker 4: Yes, he did here pretty good there, buddy, had a
Speaker 4: little loan in the middle. I mean, did Lamar, Josh
Speaker 4: Drake may again, Caleb Agan, Justin, Herbert Jalen Hurts, Pat Mahomes, Baker, Mayfield,
Speaker 4: bow Nicks, and Jad and Daniels are all considered better
Speaker 4: rushers by that, So I think he did pretty I'm
Speaker 4: gonna give you an A minus, buddy.
Speaker 3: That might be the highest score I've ever gotten on
Speaker 3: a post.
Speaker 4: In other words, he plays top ten in ball placement,
Speaker 4: pocket presence, and second reactionability.
Speaker 3: I agree with all.
Speaker 4: Those, and arm strength, mechanics, decision making and rushing ability.
Speaker 4: He missed on the top ten. I actually don't hate
Speaker 4: those great Yeah.
Speaker 5: Not off I think I give brock Purty a little
Speaker 5: bit more credit than Dan Orlosky, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not arm strength.
Speaker 5: Decision I'd say probably decision making making now His decision
Speaker 5: making was a little bit more questionable last year with
Speaker 5: some interceptions.
Speaker 4: I think he was trying to do too much like
Speaker 4: the combination. He has the processing chip.
Speaker 3: You know, what is it? A big brain brock? Is
Speaker 3: that what ge Pop calls him?
Speaker 4: But there are times he makes the wrong decision and yeah,
Speaker 4: it kills you. So that's something I'd like to see
Speaker 4: improved this year. All right, that was fun and Barcu's
Speaker 4: gotten named us and we got a jazzy background music
Speaker 4: for it too, nice little pop cooler Okay, cooler content

Speaker 3: Ran right, Ryan Murphy.
Speaker 2: I'm from No Valley, California. I'm a twenty year.
Speaker 4: Old junior major in English, and I'd just like to
Speaker 4: say we still love those fighting Golden State warners.
Speaker 2: You and the three others.
Speaker 4: No, I never mind, say no more, Say no more,
Speaker 4: my friend. And back then Chris Berman had a rear en.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, you're right, shut out Berman in those pants
Speaker 5: the other day. Wow, I okay, say I think Berman
Speaker 5: was right, though, you and those three others still like
Speaker 5: Joe Lacob and Mike dunleyvy, Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Anyway, So anyway, and all of a sudden, I see
Speaker 4: matt mcconaughean a podcast and they asked him the important
Speaker 4: how do you prepare your steak?
Speaker 3: How do you grill your steak? I said, oh, I
Speaker 3: have my own day.
Speaker 4: I'm not an expert though, but I know Marcus, this
Speaker 4: is very important to Marcus. Yes, so once you to evaluate,
Speaker 4: Matthew McConaughey, in his McConaughey style, describe how he prepares
Speaker 4: a steak.
Speaker 5: Alright, see if you agree.
Speaker 4: See if you admire, see if you criticize. Take notes
Speaker 4: Matthew McConaughey on how to prepare a steak A Texas
Speaker 4: guy talking here.
Speaker 3: Here you go, okay, real quick steak? What cut do
Speaker 3: you eat?
Speaker 6: One in five a bench American wagga. Yeah's to say
Speaker 6: nobody's sake admitted it or not, we're not talking about
Speaker 6: Oh I want to lean. I know I have my
Speaker 6: l cutting. You have it cooked well in different ways.
Speaker 6: So I go one in five eighth inch, which means
Speaker 6: it's a big thick piece of meat, which means I
Speaker 6: don't didn't take it to the oven, never bake it
Speaker 6: to get the middle cooked.
Speaker 3: I do like to see it. I either go on
Speaker 3: the grill.
Speaker 6: I mean, if I can get that green egg to
Speaker 6: sit there and hold at four fifty five, then I'm
Speaker 6: then I'm and close that thing and trust it beautiful.
Speaker 6: Other times where we're just inside it on time. For that,
Speaker 6: I'm a big sixteen inch black skillet oil butter, syrt
Speaker 6: cast iron. Get that baby height and and and sear
Speaker 6: that and flip some oils and butter on top of
Speaker 6: that thing, because I just learned this that that butter
Speaker 6: doesn't brown if you put it in early with the oil.
Speaker 6: And then obviously that old trick that everyone everyone forgets,
Speaker 6: let that dip for as long as you cooked. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: because it's gotta settle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and is kind of absorb it back in.
Speaker 6: And also you can't do you all know this one.
Speaker 6: This may be obvious, but it's the cooked at room temperature.
Speaker 6: Can't pull it out of fridge? Can you pull it
Speaker 6: right out of fridge?
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, no, you gotta let it. You gotta let ship.
Speaker 6: You get back to the room, get the room temperature. That's
Speaker 6: a good one, and all those poores open up. So
Speaker 6: one five eighth inch of American wagon.
Speaker 3: Ribbi oh, Marcus Man.
Speaker 5: There were a few men ten out of ten, like
Speaker 5: like that was a great breakdown.
Speaker 3: The only thing that was missing was like the seasoning.
Speaker 5: Like I'm guessing because he's a Texas guy, he's going
Speaker 5: salt and pepper, oil and butter.
Speaker 3: Yes, but there's gotta be some salt pepper.
Speaker 4: He mention that, you're right, yeah, that's maybe a nine
Speaker 4: point five. But the breakdown from the cut, I'm a
Speaker 4: rib by guy, like river wag you?
Speaker 5: He said, now you wag you was fancy, like that's
Speaker 5: that really expensive steak going big?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's hard the best cut of meat
Speaker 3: you can get. His wagon. I hate to do this,
Speaker 3: you know, in the air here. But uh yeah, huh yeah,
Speaker 3: show up those measurements. Uh huh. One fine was thick
Speaker 3: and juice. Yeah, so what about the green egg at
Speaker 3: forming all shapes and sizes and this one was thick.
Speaker 4: And p absolutely Walter might need the spatula, he said.
Speaker 4: If he can hold the green egg at four fifty five,
Speaker 4: that's holding the smoke temperature. So that's a pro move.
Speaker 4: You can smoke the steak before you see it. We've
Speaker 4: done it a couple of times for like Christmas, Thanksgiven.
Speaker 4: If we throw a tomahawk on the smoker, it's kind
Speaker 4: of like a reverse seer, So you smoke it up,
Speaker 4: get that internal temperature, and then you see it and
Speaker 4: get that crust on the on the cast iron until
Speaker 4: the internal temp gets to where you want to be okay,
Speaker 4: and usually that's around one thirty five Off the top
Speaker 4: of my head for a medium rare. I'm a medium
Speaker 4: rare guy. I believe that's the only way he sat
Speaker 4: his steak. He did say once, what do you say
Speaker 4: on I took notescheres you say in close and trust?
Speaker 4: Is that what he said on the egg? He said,
Speaker 4: you got to enclose and trust.
Speaker 5: If you're looking, you ain't cooking. It's as simple as that, brother,
Speaker 5: Yeah you don't. Yeah, oh dude, yeah, but I mean
Speaker 5: I get so annoyed when I'm smoking up a brisket
Speaker 5: or something and someone's like, oh, let me see what
Speaker 5: it looks like. No, no, no, let that puppy breathe.
Speaker 5: Let it cook. If you're looking, you ain't cooking.
Speaker 3: Now, he says.
Speaker 4: If he doesn't have time for that, he's got to
Speaker 4: go sixteen inches black skill it oil butter. He mentioned
Speaker 4: this thing about the butter goes in with the oil
Speaker 4: so it doesn't brown.
Speaker 5: Yeah, then you get the butter base going where you've
Speaker 5: got a base to stake the entire time on the
Speaker 5: cast iron.
Speaker 4: Also the note about taking it out of the fridge
Speaker 4: for a long time. It's got to get room temperature
Speaker 4: before you before you even begin the.
Speaker 3: Plus, you should do that with all of your meat.
Speaker 5: You should not go straight from the fridge to the
Speaker 5: smoker to the grill. Let it get to room temperature
Speaker 5: so that it can kind of cool out for a minute.
Speaker 5: You also said after you're done, let it sit.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, for as long as you gotta have the resting time,
Speaker 5: Like I'll let my brisket rest for an hour or two.
Speaker 5: Some people rest it overnight. It lets it all break
Speaker 5: down and really cook through. That's why you should always
Speaker 5: pull a steak at like one thirty five, because when
Speaker 5: you pull it, let it rest internally, it will bring
Speaker 5: its temperature up itself to like one thirty five.
Speaker 3: You know what, give me some applu You armed McConaughey
Speaker 3: right there.
Speaker 4: But look, I don't know a lot about math and English,
Speaker 4: but I know a lot about barbecue.
Speaker 1: Bro.
Speaker 4: He used to do those beef ads, remember that, you know,
Speaker 4: beef It's was for dinner man. We used to play
Speaker 4: those on the show back in the those pecon used
Speaker 4: to play that thing because it was just it had
Speaker 4: that Aaron Copeland western music playing and all that. So
Speaker 4: in other words, you and McConaughey need to get together
Speaker 4: and knock back a couple of steaks.
Speaker 3: Oh dude, A one hundred percent.
Speaker 5: I mean that's where I fell in love with barbecue,
Speaker 5: really is when I went down to Texas, went down
Speaker 5: to Austin for a bachelor party, went out to like
Speaker 5: a orange and white spring game for Texas.
Speaker 3: Guess who was on the sideline.
Speaker 5: Matthew McConaughey, and then right after the game we went
Speaker 5: down to Terry Black's barbecue, and it changed my entire
Speaker 5: perspective on the sport of barbecue.
Speaker 4: Six or five US reverse sear on the Rabbi is
Speaker 4: the way based with butter, garlic and rosemary.
Speaker 5: Oh man, you guys are making me hungry.
Speaker 4: No, dude, four and five says you got to ask
Speaker 4: Tony V how he likes his steaks here too. Four
Speaker 4: O eights says, oh, hang on, pardon me, somebody says.
Speaker 4: Four O waits says, I only knocked McConaughey down because
Speaker 4: that's about eighty dollars a slice of wago ain't cheap.
Speaker 4: Four O waits says, if you want his cousin, Vin,
Speaker 4: if you want one thirty two, you better pull that
Speaker 4: bad boy at one twenty.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's right, you can pull at one twenty one
Speaker 5: twenty five. Just depends on how long you're gonna let
Speaker 5: it rest and how thick of a slice of meat.
Speaker 4: We're talking about seven sevens I disagree on let this sit.
Speaker 4: When you order a steak, you're find a steak. Houts
Speaker 4: They don't have him sitting on the counter.
Speaker 5: Interesting, Oh no, I think you should let it bleed
Speaker 5: out a little bit and get all those flavors.
Speaker 4: And then seven or seven says water boy, you better
Speaker 4: pull that steak at one fifteen to one twenty because
Speaker 4: the carry over he's gonna bring it up to one
Speaker 4: thirty one thirty five.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fine.
Speaker 4: Seven to seven? What did you say while you found
Speaker 4: a text on there? I can't find the one you liked.
Speaker 4: What's the one you liked?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: It was nine one six? Let me try to Let
Speaker 3: me try to find it real quick, I said. The
Speaker 3: texts come pouring in, then we lose them.
Speaker 4: Anyway, I thought I heard this, So I was right
Speaker 4: when I saw that that it was gonna stir something inside.
Speaker 2: You do it?
Speaker 3: You're speaking my language, I know my partner.
Speaker 5: Yeah, dude, I love barbecue, I love beers, I love baseball.
Speaker 3: I'm a simple man. What he says that four fifty five?

Speaker 5: I've never done smoke baloney, but you can damn or
Speaker 5: smoke anything on a smoker.

Speaker 4: Oscar exactly A.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I love to eat it, got to try it.

Speaker 3: We mentioned this at the end of the show yesterday.
Speaker 4: The Giants are fourth, and guess what this guy, JJ
Speaker 4: Cooper for Baseball America says even more could be coming.
Speaker 8: The big picture with the Giants is there's probably no
Speaker 8: organization that is more loaded at the lower levels of
Speaker 8: the farm system. And being that the Complex League's Class A, right,
Speaker 8: that's where they have prospects beyond that, But that's where
Speaker 8: the vast majority of the prospects and their most elite
Speaker 8: prospects kind of reside right now. And that's kind of
Speaker 8: a that's could be a really good news thing. It
Speaker 8: does kind of limit you where you are right now.
Speaker 8: Right like if you look at the top of our
Speaker 8: top one hundred, the top twenty five prospects, generally, without
Speaker 8: fail are prospects with elite tools who have also performed
Speaker 8: at Double A or beyond. There are exceptions, but that's
Speaker 8: the general rule, and I would say a year from
Speaker 8: now you could see the Giants as the number one
Speaker 8: farm system in baseba.
Speaker 3: Woo fuster posey.
Speaker 5: I mean that farm system continues to get better and
Speaker 5: better every single week, every single month, from the off
Speaker 5: season international signings to the draft to the Hall of
Speaker 5: Prospects that you just got at the trade deadline. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we've gone from them being outside the top ten to
Speaker 5: a top ten farm system to a top five after
Speaker 5: the trade deadline.
Speaker 4: So the only question for the kids who are just
Speaker 4: growing up right now in middle school, elementary school, are
Speaker 4: you gonna wear a Johnny Level jersey?
Speaker 3: Are you gonna wear a Joshuar jersey? Are you gonna
Speaker 3: wear a Jackson Floria jersey? You're gonna wear a Carson
Speaker 3: Boulleman jersey? What are you gonna wear? That'll be fun?
Speaker 3: Fun to dream, fun to dream, Tony Vtello. Next on
Speaker 3: the Sports Leader.
Speaker 7: It's Steph Crady real hair on now, man, I was
Speaker 7: I just saw him work out today, bro, Yeah, I
Speaker 7: was lazing all the time.

Speaker 4: Experienced to Benjamin More Retail Difference at are independently owned
Speaker 4: authorized retailers today or at Benjamin Moore dot com. Good morning, Tony,
Speaker 4: Welcome back to Murph and Marcus. How are you this
Speaker 4: fine Thursday morning.
Speaker 3: Day, Tony morning.
Speaker 2: Thanks doing all right? A joint off day look ahead
Speaker 2: to the Rocky series.
Speaker 4: Yeah, as you can turn, you can continue to learn
Speaker 4: the Bay area a little bit and you have it
Speaker 4: an off day, maybe sneak down, catch some forty nine
Speaker 4: or football in Santa Clair tonight. Uh.
Speaker 2: Not in the middle of our season, but I have
Speaker 2: soaped out the schedule many of days. When we're done,
Speaker 2: I'd like to see them a few times.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they will look for some Tony V sightings
Speaker 4: down there on the sideline.
Speaker 2: So yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and tonight they're taking on the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 3: Tony.
Speaker 5: Obviously with your connection to Tennessee. Do you have any
Speaker 5: Titans fandom at all? Or who is your NFL team?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: You know, I grew up in Saint Louis and a
Speaker 2: lot of people don't know the Cardinals were there. They
Speaker 2: left when I was about six, so we didn't really
Speaker 2: have a team. And my dad was from Chicago, so
Speaker 2: we went to Soldier Field a lot. And I was
Speaker 2: a big Walter Payton guy, so I was a huge
Speaker 2: Bears fan. Then it kind of went away, and then
Speaker 2: you know, recently some connections with their coach and some
Speaker 2: other stuff and it kind of got a fun group.
Speaker 2: So I guess I'm on back on board a little
Speaker 2: bit with those guys.
Speaker 4: You got a pretty good quarterback, so we'll check that out,
Speaker 4: and a fiery coach in Ben Johnson. Yeah, so okay,
Speaker 4: well listen, obviously, let's start small, then we'll go big.
Speaker 4: Yesterday's game, yesterday's game must be frustrated for you as
Speaker 4: a manager because you get this great star from Adrian Houser.
Speaker 4: Sam Henches gets the balls he needs and unfortunately the
Speaker 4: defense breaks down.
Speaker 3: Let's start with Willia Domas.
Speaker 4: He gets a ground ball to short and all of
Speaker 4: a sudden he can't make the throat of set and
Speaker 4: has to kind of lobb it there, and now we're
Speaker 4: all wondering, Wow, can he play baseball with that back?
Speaker 3: What's the situation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's getting treatment this morning, just a tick later
Speaker 2: this morning, kind of assess where it's at today. But
Speaker 2: you know, something that's kind of been I don't know,
Speaker 2: back and forth lingering what what the right terminology is.
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of something that's tough. He's close to
Speaker 2: the best with anything that ever's bothering him. He wants
Speaker 2: to be you know, that cal Ripken type out out
Speaker 2: on the field, but clearly it locked up there. When
Speaker 2: we made the pitching change, A Ray went out on
Speaker 2: behalf of the medical staff and visited with him. He
Speaker 2: was determined to stay in the game, so the plan
Speaker 2: was to give him that lead off at that and
Speaker 2: you know, at the time it's a it's a tie game.
Speaker 2: We were kind of hoping he'd get on base and
Speaker 2: we could take him out from mc cray, but the
Speaker 2: way he was moving around there just it didn't make
Speaker 2: sense to risk anything else for him personally, so we
Speaker 2: made the decision to take him out of the game.
Speaker 2: And I think it's more than likely today Friday at
Speaker 2: a minimum, that he kind of just needs to get
Speaker 2: treatment and hopefully get back to.
Speaker 3: Neutral Tony you mentioned it.
Speaker 5: This is a back injury that Willia Domis has been
Speaker 5: dealing with for the majority of the season. So prior
Speaker 5: to yesterday's game, were there any conversations about potentially sitting
Speaker 5: him down for an extended period of time so that
Speaker 5: he could get back to full health.
Speaker 2: No, not really. We did have that period take place,
Speaker 2: said he felt good when he came back. You know,
Speaker 2: he does through some extra exercises in the training room.
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of the guys like to use it.
Speaker 2: Was pointed out yesterday in the postgame pressure a lot
Speaker 2: of guys. Ramos in particular, always used it even though
Speaker 2: he wasn't having issues. This backwarmer that kind of goes
Speaker 2: around there or just in between at bats. Uh, so
Speaker 2: he's he's utilized that. But you know, I don't I
Speaker 2: don't think anything had really popped up to cause that.
Speaker 2: We did have a scheduled off day for him in Texas,
Speaker 2: and then one thing kind of led to another after
Speaker 2: the trade deadline and he and Rofie ended up both
Speaker 2: playing on on days that we were looking to win
Speaker 2: the series. They wanted to win the series, so didn't
Speaker 2: didn't feel in neat for that never came up.
Speaker 4: Okay, so I'm just sort of hypothet doing the hypothetical
Speaker 4: now here if indeed he does need an il stint
Speaker 4: or extended rest is I mean, you can play Christian
Speaker 4: cost there, We know that, and you got a couple
Speaker 4: other guys. But is that a logical place that Marcelo
Speaker 4: Meyer might be able to step in and fill in.
Speaker 2: I think when he joins us he can play anywhere.
Speaker 2: I'm only going off I've seen highlights, maybe seen him
Speaker 2: play twice on TV, and then I'm going more off
Speaker 2: just ground balls that's taken place during our defensive work.
Speaker 2: I think throughout his time with the Giants, I think
Speaker 2: he can move from second short third pretty pretty seamlessly,
Speaker 2: maybe even more so than than Costs and Schmidt, So
Speaker 2: he could potentially play there for sure.
Speaker 5: With Casey Schmid and Matt Chatman both having season ending surgery,
Speaker 5: have there been any thoughts about putting Rafael Devers back
Speaker 5: over at third base?
Speaker 2: No, not really. I mean, you've got, as far as
Speaker 2: the future goes, you've got an interesting situation because Parks
Speaker 2: Harbor is arguably the top prospect or one of the
Speaker 2: top prospects, in particular with the bat, so he's another
Speaker 2: third baseman. And then of course, you know, Marcello has
Speaker 2: spent time there and has the arm strength to do
Speaker 2: it and has a lot of length. So I think
Speaker 2: all the conversations that have come up about that spot
Speaker 2: have been a little bit more about a Rubik's cube
Speaker 2: of where's the best spot for everybody if everyone's healthy
Speaker 2: and everyone's hitting so and obviously if all that was
Speaker 2: taking place, it's a very good problem to have.
Speaker 4: Speaking of Marcus's question about first base, that leads to
Speaker 4: Bryce Eldridge And we were talking about Kuko about this
Speaker 4: and you know, obviously ever he's thrilled with what they're seeing.
Speaker 4: But he did have a downturn of late. Now it
Speaker 4: is baseball, guys get cold. But was there an injury,
Speaker 4: a thumb injury that accounted for his slow down of late?
Speaker 3: And how's that going?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he had a little bit of a
Speaker 2: bruise on his hand, and you know it was its
Speaker 2: kind of flared up. I mean, again, it's kind of
Speaker 2: one of those things that was present, but on a
Speaker 2: particular day it flared up and definitely needed to take
Speaker 2: a forty eight hour window just to let it calm down.
Speaker 2: But he feels good after that, and he's plenty tough.
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think it helped him as it
Speaker 2: was coming on, but he actually swung the back very well.
Speaker 2: After the couple of days that, you know, he came
Speaker 2: off the bench and had that big hit. In the
Speaker 2: next couple of days, swung the bat pretty good. I
Speaker 2: think it's been a little bit more about just the
Speaker 2: repetitions are piling up, the scutter report's changing.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: Obviously, your mind can go in a bunch of different
Speaker 2: places over the course of time, the more and more
Speaker 2: you're either on the mound or you're at the plate.
Speaker 2: But I think he's handled it very well, and you know,
Speaker 2: just missed the homer the other day, and some of
Speaker 2: us his missus has been really good. Probably if anything,
Speaker 2: he's striking out a little bit more and walking a
Speaker 2: little bit less. But you know, you look at the
Speaker 2: scores and and the way some of the games have gone.
Speaker 2: I think a lot of the guys, you know, are
Speaker 2: pressing out of the zone a little bit at times,
Speaker 2: or or maybe file off a pitch they could hit
Speaker 2: because they're trying to produce. You know, on those days
Speaker 2: where it just doesn't, the floodgates just don't open for
Speaker 2: us at all.
Speaker 5: Tony, we talked a lot about the development of Bryce
Speaker 5: Odridge throughout spring training and with him starting the season
Speaker 5: in Sacramento and Triple A. We're now one hundred and
Speaker 5: twenty one games of the season. He's played nearly eighty
Speaker 5: at the big league level. What are some of the
Speaker 5: signs of development that you've seen from Bryce Overdridge, both
Speaker 5: offensively and defensively.
Speaker 2: I think being able to weather the storm of days
Speaker 2: that aren't great. You know, he's made comments about how
Speaker 2: he wants to be able to navigate, especially on days
Speaker 2: when he's deation and you can have that time in
Speaker 2: between at bats. Just his process of navigating either success
Speaker 2: or lack of success in between at bats, how he's
Speaker 2: managed his work. He's actually added things as the season
Speaker 2: that's gone on that he does. I don't think he's
Speaker 2: done anything to overtax his body, but it's just interesting
Speaker 2: to see how for a young kid, he's kind of
Speaker 2: organized this process, whether it's preparation before the game or
Speaker 2: things that go on in between and then you know,
Speaker 2: overall just spring training on the big theme is he's
Speaker 2: so much better at first base than he was last year.
Speaker 2: You know, I can only go off of what everybody says,
Speaker 2: but I've seen from the start of spring training to
Speaker 2: now he's gotten so much better over there. Defensively.
Speaker 4: Talking to Tony Vattello on the Giants Executive Show, you
Speaker 4: listen to Camber, I am Ac camberr FM Cerisco the
Speaker 4: sports Leader Acumulus Media Station.
Speaker 3: So many different guys to ask about so many different things.
Speaker 4: One of them is your left fielder last night or
Speaker 4: yesterday afternoon, Victor Barracoto, big high hopes for him. He
Speaker 4: can swing the bad at an RBI knocked yesterday, had
Speaker 4: a tough game the game before, and then drop that
Speaker 4: fly ball in the sun. I guess learning to play
Speaker 4: left field in that park is going to be a
Speaker 4: thing for him. But is it fair to say Tony that,
Speaker 4: in your talks with Buster Posey and Zach manaziin that
Speaker 4: you guys traded Elliott Ramos because you believe that Barrakoto
Speaker 4: can be the everyday left fielder going forward and even
Speaker 4: into twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't say there's a direct correlation there between
Speaker 2: those two things. I think they're fairly separate. Barrakota is
Speaker 2: fun to talk about because of tore it up and
Speaker 2: winter Ball took the time to go play. I think
Speaker 2: it shows that guys love to compete and they're serious
Speaker 2: about their career when they do. That. Was our best
Speaker 2: hitter in spring training, just flat out was. I mean,
Speaker 2: Chapman was was was pretty good too, but Barracota's numbers
Speaker 2: were better than everybody was, technically leading our team in
Speaker 2: ops this year. So I think there's a lot to
Speaker 2: get excited about with what he can do with the bat.
Speaker 2: Left Field was a little bit of a deal where
Speaker 2: you're figuring out what do we do defensive replacement, I
Speaker 2: how to you know, right field, left field? Where which
Speaker 2: won's he better? And then you know, before he got hurt,
Speaker 2: he really started to play a nice left field, made
Speaker 2: a couple of big time throws, a couple of really
Speaker 2: good plays, and you know, just had the thing pop
Speaker 2: up yesterday. That's that's unfortunate. But I think he doing
Speaker 2: a little bit of a separate category. I think the
Speaker 2: overall big category is just a group of prospects in general,
Speaker 2: Jung Hu Lee you can still categorize as young, but
Speaker 2: he is kind of the the vet of the group.
Speaker 2: But Cox, Gilbert, terre Hill, Grant McCrae. I think there's
Speaker 2: a lot that those guys want to and of course
Speaker 2: the coaches too, want to figure out what we really got,
Speaker 2: who can do what, who belongs where, And you know,
Speaker 2: Barracota's probably at the top of the list, but there's
Speaker 2: some other names that come up just as often.
Speaker 5: Tony follow up question on Drew Gilbert out in center field.
Speaker 5: Seems like he's been playing some better baseball lately. We
Speaker 5: had Mike Krucol on our show earlier this week, and
Speaker 5: he talked about how impressed he's been this year seeing
Speaker 5: the change.
Speaker 3: In approach from Drew Gilbert at the plate.
Speaker 5: Can you talk to us a little bit about that
Speaker 5: approach and the adjustments that he's made the big league pitching.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's consistently making, you know, I would say minor adjustments.
Speaker 2: I mean, he works like crazy, and you know, I
Speaker 2: think earlier in the season my concern was making things
Speaker 2: too complicated or changing too often. But I think the
Speaker 2: way he and Hunter Mints have hooked up has kind
Speaker 2: of proven that very wrong, and like I said, it's
Speaker 2: just been little adjustments here and there all the time,
Speaker 2: and it seems to be a cleaner swing. And then two,
Speaker 2: he's one of our guys that's really putting together great
Speaker 2: at bats where he's not afraid to look for a pitch,
Speaker 2: he's not afraid to take a pitch, and even though
Speaker 2: the average hasn't been on the steep rise, if you're
Speaker 2: just in you know, if you're talking about Kruko's observations,
Speaker 2: I mean, no one knows the game better than he does,
Speaker 2: and he's probably taken those at bats for what they are,
Speaker 2: just competitive at bats, and again you don't always get
Speaker 2: the outcome or the average showing that they're better. But
Speaker 2: I think the quality of the at bat is day
Speaker 2: in and day out, really really good. And I think
Speaker 2: as he continue used to go the path he's going,
Speaker 2: I think things could get even better.
Speaker 4: Is it a non starter against lefties though he just
Speaker 4: can't hit lefties? What's your guys's view of that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm never a big fan of the
Speaker 2: word can't in general. I think one position, you know,
Speaker 2: I feel like I can talk about him differently, and
Speaker 2: I definitely talked to him differently with our prior relationship.
Speaker 2: Is he kind of puts us in a position where
Speaker 2: we just don't look smart if that's what we're doing,
Speaker 2: you know, or we're open to criticism, and trust me,
Speaker 2: we're trying like hell to win games, so that stuff's
Speaker 2: got to go on the back burner. But if you
Speaker 2: are trying to explain to your starting pitcher, for instance,
Speaker 2: like hey, this is our best lineup for you today,
Speaker 2: he hadn't put us in a really good position because
Speaker 2: those numbers were kind of gaudy in the wrong direction,
Speaker 2: but a really impressive you know, base hit in Colorado
Speaker 2: for an RBI and then recently one with two strikes
Speaker 2: off lasts who barely gets hit by anybody. So it's
Speaker 2: in there. He's just got to get the right approach.
Speaker 2: If you watch, he actually does more with his swing
Speaker 2: in his body movements against lefties than he does against righties,
Speaker 2: and it actually should be the opposite. I mean, the
Speaker 2: guy on your arm side, there's actually less work to
Speaker 2: do for the most part. So I just think if
Speaker 2: he gets some repetitions in maturity, it'll get better, and
Speaker 2: some confidence is the big thing. I think it became
Speaker 2: a thing in his head early in the year, but
Speaker 2: with some other guys in the lineup, I think it'll
Speaker 2: be easier and a good excuse to mix in other guys.
Speaker 2: So for now it'll be pretty sporadic as far as him.
Speaker 4: On lefties and one more on Drew because you know
Speaker 4: him so well. You know, he made national news with
Speaker 4: his the celebration after wins when he would do the
Speaker 4: gesture with his hips, you know, and there was a
Speaker 4: lot of opinions. I was like, well, I'll let the
Speaker 4: kids have fun. But he's stopped doing that, and I'm
Speaker 4: wondering if there's a correlation between maybe a maturity. Is
Speaker 4: this something you guys talked about behind the scenes. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's always good to have fun, but some people say
Speaker 4: it's a bad luck when you're losing. He stopped doing that,
Speaker 4: he's playing better. Is there a maturity that's sort of
Speaker 4: all linked to that.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I mean, I think you got
Speaker 2: a deal where we're struggling to win games, we're struggling
Speaker 2: to produce day in and day out, especially on the
Speaker 2: offensive side early in the year, and we're also struggling
Speaker 2: to find our personality. I do feel like it sure
Speaker 2: would be nice to be talking about a series win
Speaker 2: and have a little bit better proof to back this
Speaker 2: up or a little bit you know, stronger argument. But
Speaker 2: I do think the personality has started the form as
Speaker 2: of late, you know, to be honest with you, since
Speaker 2: we're in Texas, but I think that was a you know,
Speaker 2: drastic attempt to try and inject some personality into things,
Speaker 2: and then you know, you look at skits and things
Speaker 2: that get thrown out that are related to that deal,
Speaker 2: and it kind of fed the fire a little bit.
Speaker 2: So I think, like several things this year, by nature
Speaker 2: of our clubs, some of the personalities, a new coach,
Speaker 2: I think some things have been pulled and blown up
Speaker 2: that really there's nothing there, and if you're winning games,
Speaker 2: there's definitely nothing there.
Speaker 5: Tony ivite Tello is the voice here this morning on
Speaker 5: the Giants Executive Show sponsored by Redwood Credit Union for
Speaker 5: you for community for seventy five years and Tony moving
Speaker 5: on from one Tennessee volunteer to another. Tell us about
Speaker 5: the Big Skittle Blade Sidwell. It's been a hell of
Speaker 5: a season for him, starting out the year in the bullpen,
Speaker 5: now getting back into the starting rotation, which I'm sure
Speaker 5: means a lot to you and Frank Anderson seeing him
Speaker 5: back on the bump. So just tell us about what
Speaker 5: you've seen in his return to the starting rotation, and
Speaker 5: is that a spot you see him kind of fitting
Speaker 5: into or at least fighting for a spot next season.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, I think we get into those. We had
Speaker 2: a real lengthy personnel meeting, and you get into those,
Speaker 2: and I guess nature of the Beastank and I are
Speaker 2: always the most critical of those two guys, and I
Speaker 2: think we got high hopes for Blade but also high
Speaker 2: standards for him, and I think it's hard to say
Speaker 2: the last two times out he hasn't met any standard.
Speaker 2: I know the first inning in Texas was an ideal.
Speaker 2: I think he learned his lesson. Maybe he got a
Speaker 2: little too cute with Jock Peterson leading off the game,
Speaker 2: but since then has shown equal ability to pitch to
Speaker 2: right and left. Seems to just kind of gets stronger
Speaker 2: really as he goes through the lineup two or three times.
Speaker 2: That's a much talked about and maybe sometimes overhype thing
Speaker 2: with analytics these days. But the biggest thing for me
Speaker 2: is the relief appearances were the bulldog kind of like
Speaker 2: Carson Seymour looked the other day, here's my stuff, deal
Speaker 2: with it just winging it at the plate, and he's
Speaker 2: got the stuff to do that, but his stuff has
Speaker 2: kind of been maintained and he's able to kind of
Speaker 2: pitch Starter would have to with a really good mix
Speaker 2: different sequences the second third time through. So a really
Speaker 2: fun balance to watch of again that pitch ability but
Speaker 2: also kind of that bulldog mentality and winging some pretty
Speaker 2: good stuff at the plate for an extended amount of time.
Speaker 4: Toby, I want to circle back on your comment about
Speaker 4: the personality in Texas. So that was the trade deadline.
Speaker 4: So do you think it took the trade deadline for
Speaker 4: you guys to begin to form who you are?
Speaker 2: No, I think you know prior to that too. I
Speaker 2: think there was already some youth injected into the locker room,
Speaker 2: and I think those guys started to realize their importance
Speaker 2: of Yeah, the leaders got to prop you up and
Speaker 2: they got to lead you, but also you got to
Speaker 2: you got to maybe pull it out of the older
Speaker 2: guys to you know, play the game with a little
Speaker 2: bit of energy the way that you can and more
Speaker 2: than anything, realize there's certain days where there's more of
Speaker 2: you guys than there are the older guys. So if
Speaker 2: you guys don't, you know, come to play and don't
Speaker 2: feel confident on the field like you're like you are
Speaker 2: a ten year big leaguer, then it's not going to
Speaker 2: go very well. But I do think the trade deadline
Speaker 2: caused so much chaos that it was kind of a
Speaker 2: rallying point for the group of Okay, all the stressful
Speaker 2: stuff is done. We know we now know where we stand.
Speaker 2: We've got to push forward here in some sort of direction.
Speaker 2: And again with I think three days in a row
Speaker 2: maybe or something similar, a new guy each day making
Speaker 2: his major league debut, it you know, it kind of
Speaker 2: started to become a little bit more relaxed, a little
Speaker 2: bit more energetic from the top down. Rafi will eve
Speaker 2: everybody just a little bit more of that flavor, and
Speaker 2: you can sense a little bit of that more consistently
Speaker 2: day in and day out since then.
Speaker 4: Tony, obviously, one lost record is all you're judged on, right,
Speaker 4: Bill Parcells, your record is that you said it's not
Speaker 4: the dreams season for you fifty and seventy one. But
Speaker 4: I'm wondering, how are you processing, how are you different
Speaker 4: on August thirteenth than you were on when the Yankees
Speaker 4: came here on what was it, March twenty fifth?
Speaker 3: How are you different as a manager and a person?
Speaker 2: I think different perspective for sure, you know, look back
Speaker 2: and have a much better understanding for those are just
Speaker 2: three games, but also the same and that those are
Speaker 2: three games and every game is important. You know, off
Speaker 2: days are great, but I can tell you this, for
Speaker 2: food on the off days used to hell of a
Speaker 2: lot better the day after a win or the day
Speaker 2: after a series win than they do different. So maybe
Speaker 2: a little bit of the same, but definitely different perspective
Speaker 2: and a little bit better balance. But I would just
Speaker 2: say whether it's notes that are in a computer now
Speaker 2: or in head or come up in conversations like Buster
Speaker 2: and Zak and I had yesterday about some just different
Speaker 2: plays and would you do it the same, would you
Speaker 2: do it different? Just a lot of lessons learned, you know,
Speaker 2: don't don't want to sacrifice wins for lessons learned. But
Speaker 2: either way than preaching my whole life the young guys,
Speaker 2: a loss is a lesson. It's it's not a failure.
Speaker 2: So unfortunately we've had way too many losses. But that
Speaker 2: has allowed for plenty of lessons to pile up, I
Speaker 2: think for everybody, so trying to utilize those as best
Speaker 2: as possible. And then I don't know, like I said,
Speaker 2: I think, you know, not just since Texas and it
Speaker 2: wasn't about I mean, obviously you're having fun every day
Speaker 2: at the park. Arises around and he's bringing a smile
Speaker 2: to everybody's face. But since it's been you know, a
Speaker 2: deal where we've been able to move past that date,
Speaker 2: it truly has been fun to come to the park
Speaker 2: every day, and there has been kind of an energetic
Speaker 2: vibe injected into everything that's going on pre game and
Speaker 2: things like that. And part of it is just there's
Speaker 2: several guys that are trying to prove themselves.
Speaker 4: Can you already say, you know, assuming everybody's we're all
Speaker 4: back here in our jobs in twenty twenty seven, you me, Marcus,
Speaker 4: and you were all together, can you can you already say, man,
Speaker 4: I am going to be a different and better manager
Speaker 4: in twenty seven because of this experience.
Speaker 2: Different I think, you know, just because you can't get
Speaker 2: complacent or assume that well it'll flip because now I
Speaker 2: know this, or it'll flip because this guy will be healthy,
Speaker 2: or this guy will be in this spot. We added
Speaker 2: this guy. I think I think it's I mean, it's
Speaker 2: kind of already started, but it's going to be time
Speaker 2: to get to work as soon as the season is over.
Speaker 2: And then it's going to be really challenging to navigate
Speaker 2: the waters that are in front of us, just to
Speaker 2: find a way to make sure we're better prepared in
Speaker 2: spring training this go around, and then spring training needs
Speaker 2: to have some different things go on, and then the
Speaker 2: next task and then the next task and the next
Speaker 2: next task. But there's no doubt it has to get better,
Speaker 2: and there's certainly a lot of things there that I
Speaker 2: think are in position that can make it go better.
Speaker 3: It's an awesome job, it's a historic job.
Speaker 4: There's a lot that comes with it, and you know,
Speaker 4: obviously there's a lot of negative that comes with it too.
Speaker 4: So what would August thirteenth, Tony V tell Tony V
Speaker 4: from January, like, man, this was this was harder than
Speaker 4: you thought, or man, this was more awesome than I thought.
Speaker 4: What would you what would you say to yourself eight
Speaker 4: from eight months ago?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I knew it would be challenging. I
Speaker 2: don't know that I knew it would be. This sounds
Speaker 2: bad to say, but the fun moments are pretty dang fun.
Speaker 2: You know how clean that game was, and the way
Speaker 2: some young guys played and we asked pitchers to pitch
Speaker 2: in different situations and our our game that we won
Speaker 2: against the Astros is it's a it's it's a pretty
Speaker 2: tough feeling to replicate. Unfortunately, we haven't had as many
Speaker 2: times as you want. But I think a little bit
Speaker 2: of both man challenging even more so than you thought. Uh,
Speaker 2: even more fun than you thought. But there's there's work
Speaker 2: to be done. I mean, I don't I don't want
Speaker 2: to make a big deal of it. And it's not
Speaker 2: something you have when the game starts. You got a
Speaker 2: job to do. But prior to and after games, I've
Speaker 2: dealt with this before in my life, Like this is
Speaker 2: a this is a big deal. This isn't just a game.
Speaker 2: It's a lot more than that. It's a culture, and
Speaker 2: it's a community, and uh, it's people like Buster and
Speaker 2: and my crewco and I could go on and on
Speaker 2: down the list, and then you know, pretty bitter feeling
Speaker 2: the other day. Uh, personally, I feel a sense of
Speaker 2: responsibility when you got Belt and Panic and all those guys.
Speaker 2: I meet Swan Dunstan, one of my childhood heroes, for
Speaker 2: the first time, and we had the type of game
Speaker 2: that we did. It's it ain't fun, So there's a
Speaker 2: great deal of responsibility that he lies the crown type
Speaker 2: of thing. But you know when the game starts. Right now,
Speaker 2: we're having fun and we're working hard. We just need
Speaker 2: to execute better. And that's that's a whole group working together.
Speaker 2: We got to execute better.
Speaker 3: It's work in progress.
Speaker 4: We watch you guys go through it tomorrow night against
Speaker 4: the Rockies, and well down the road we'll ask you
Speaker 4: about my Kuco maybe before we get you before the
Speaker 4: end of the season. So because you're talking about this
Speaker 4: culture and community, you're seeing the reaction to him.
Speaker 3: You know what he means to the culture and community.
Speaker 4: So I know you've only been here a little bit,
Speaker 4: but you could you must be overwhelmed by the reaction.
Speaker 2: Not a surprise. Know his son well and have known
Speaker 2: who he is as a pitcher and personality and how
Speaker 2: good he is at his job for quite some time,
Speaker 2: so not a surprise at all. Looking forward to hooking
Speaker 2: back up with Jeric when he gets in town and
Speaker 2: spend more time with Mike. He's got great info for
Speaker 2: me every time I talk to him.
Speaker 4: Tony, we took you for a long ride here this morning.
Speaker 4: We appreciate the time and the conversation. Have a great
Speaker 4: off day and we'll talk to you down the road.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks Tony, you bet, Thanks guys
