1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,960 Speaker 1: Heybody's around the park of the crookd Kype, and today 2 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about, well, getting out of a funk. 3 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: The Giants are in one, and there are ways to 4 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: get out. We'll talk about that when we come back. Heybody, 5 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: it's around the park the crookerd Kype. And today is 6 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,880 Speaker 1: game one of a three game series between the Giants 7 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: and the Philadelphia Phillies, another invader from the National League 8 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 1: East and Kuype. I look at the Phills come in 9 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,639 Speaker 1: five and four, but they're not hitting. And this is 10 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: a team that, you know, they pride themselves with their offense. 11 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: They have a team that's built for a ballpark that 12 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: is very offensive, and they score runs. But they're not 13 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: scoring runs. 14 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 2: All right, Well, let me ask you this, all right, 15 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 2: So I'm going to give you some names and you 16 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 2: tell me if they're hitting or not. Okay, all right, Swobber, 17 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: he can hit, but he's not hitting. What's his average? 18 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: He does have three of them runs and six RBIs 19 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: so yeah, but that's kind of him, right yeah? Harper, yeah, 20 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 2: one thirty nine, who Boom one seventy six, j t 21 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 2: Rue Muto one eighty two. Anyway, I think I get 22 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 2: your point. We said the same thing pretty much about 23 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: the team that just left here and the New York Mets, 24 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 2: and they seem to do okay when Lindor didn't hit, 25 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: Soda didn't play, on and on and on and on. 26 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 2: So even though a team's not hitting, you have to 27 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: be really really careful. You have to hit as a 28 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: team to beat them well. And you know, maybe it's 29 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 2: a league thing too, that there are a lot of 30 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,400 Speaker 2: teams not hitting. 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: Which could be the start of season or cold weather 32 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: or whatever. There's eight thousand different excuses that a pitching 33 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: coach or a hitting coach can tell their pitchers and 34 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: hitters as to why you're not performing as a group. 35 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: But it's it's not usual to see the majority of 36 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: your team slumping at the same time, which is what 37 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: the Giants are going through. They're not hitting. So the 38 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: old Santa baseball, if you're not hitting, you've got a pitch. 39 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: You got to catch the ball. And that's the difference 40 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: between the teams that aren't hitting and are having wins, 41 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: like the Phillies with a five to four record. You 42 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: know they're making up for it in different ways. The 43 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: Giants hitters like every other athlete, they're going through rough spelt. 44 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: They're trying to be patient. The one thing that they 45 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: have is that they've done it before in their careers, 46 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: so they know they've got the ability. It's an issue 47 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: if you don't, if you doubt your talent, it's an 48 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: issue if you doubt the ability of your club, which 49 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: is why if you go in the Giants clubhouse, you 50 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: know they're going through the routines and whatnot, but there's 51 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: no panic because these guys have done it before and 52 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: they hope that it starts tonight, that they start doing 53 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: it again. 54 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, you really have to be careful when you get 55 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: involved in a baseball season where there's one hundred and 56 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 2: sixty two games. I mean, look, this is game eleven 57 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: on the schedule. I mean, if you start hanging your 58 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 2: head after ten games, then July is going to hit 59 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: you pretty hard and pretty soon you're just going to 60 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: not have any fun whatsoever. So you have to realize 61 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: that this is just game eleven coming up, and I 62 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 2: know the schedule is tough, and you know that's kind 63 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,839 Speaker 2: of just the way it is. You got to deal 64 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 2: with that. So just have fun, play hard, and have 65 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 2: fun and if you can play mistake free, physically and mentally, 66 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: and if you do that, you're at least going to 67 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: have a shot at beating any team. 68 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: And I want to underline that word. I want to 69 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: underline the word mentally because you know, I've played with 70 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: guys before and you've seen it happen Jack Clark, if 71 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: he was going through a slump, I'd be out there 72 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: on the mountain. He's in right field. I turn around 73 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: and look at right fields. He's in his batter stance. 74 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: You think he's thinking about defense, Well, no, I didn't. 75 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: And the point being is that mentally, it's so easy 76 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: to start thinking about the one thing that's gone south 77 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: of your ability, and that's your bat. Well, you have 78 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: to your mind has to be on the game. You've 79 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: got to be able to anticipate. You have to be 80 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: able to think what your situation is should a ball 81 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: get hit to you. And that discipline is what gets 82 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: you back on track. And this is where they need 83 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: to go. 84 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you asked me to go talk to Jack 85 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: and tell them to shape it up out there. 86 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I didn't want to go near him. Thanks 87 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: a lot, Mike, thanks for bailing me out. And that's 88 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 1: around the park with the crooked Kype enjoy this great game.
