WEBVTT - Did Buster Posey maximize this year's Trade Deadline returns? PLUS Interview with Tim Flannery 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:00.240 No. 0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:05.240 Back to murphin markets on the Sports Leader, streaming live 0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:10.120 on the sports Leader dot com and knbr V Sports 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:11.000 Leader app. 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:16.480 No, I think you try and put some of those 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.320 things out of your mind, just make the best decision 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:21.720 in front of your face at the time. So happy 0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.440 with where we're at and the talent we've accumulated. Obviously, 0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:29.200 we'll have roster decisions to make like everyone else that 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.800 are going to come, you know, regardless of the future, 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:34.280 and we'll just try and make the best decisions possible 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:35.280 when that time comes. 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.920 Zach Manazi and talking about the looming lockout and forty 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:41.800 man roster and did that affect the Giants' trade decisions? 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.440 He says, no, but you never know. A and O 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:45.720 WA cambr is the phone number. 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:45.839 Man. 0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:47.560 We're doing it all morning long. 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.199 We took a brief hiatus to talk NFL quarterbacks with 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:51.639 Mike Sander, but the rest of the day has been 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:55.680 all reaction to the buster posty trade deadline. And I think, 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:59.640 by volume, the most active trade deadline I can the 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.760 most active of trade deadline I can ever remember. 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:03.960 As a Giants fan. 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:07.319 Elliott Ramos to the Yankees they get Henry lalane a 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.759 big left handed pitcher who could be a potential starter, 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.280 and Cayden Kent, Jeff Kent's son. If you haven't heard 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:14.640 what Jeff Ken had to say about him, we have 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:16.240 some fun sound that we can play for you guys. 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:17.400 Last week on the show. 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.119 All you guys do at Cambire is bitch and complain 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:20.600 about the trade deadline NBR. 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:23.000 That's all you guys do all day long. Bitch about 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.640 the game. Enjoy the game more. Robbie Ray is a 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:26.440 forever Padre. 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.080 The Giants get right hander Miguel Mendez, who was the 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:34.080 Padre's number four prospect, and another teenage shortstop sensation, Jony 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.160 El Hernandez out of Cuba, who signed for one point 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:40.440 four million in January. Joins that joshuaor Gonzalez, Luis Hernandez, 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:46.040 Johnny level group of like young, exciting teenage shortstops an American 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:46.520 band stand. 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.559 I've been calling it out there. It's a teenage wasteline, yes, 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:50.280 well hopefully not. 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:55.840 Hopefully a teenage non wasteland hope, teenage Thriveland, teenage Disneyland 0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:00.160 Luisa Rise, which set off Burnsey and Caleb Killian. By 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:04.080 the way, for Ramone Marquez, who Buster Posey went out. 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:05.200 In fact, you get that sound there. 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.440 Buster went out of his way on the zoom call 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:12.680 Walt to flag Ramone Marquez as maybe the prize of 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.760 the draft, almost like a Jackson Flora type level. This 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:18.080 was Buster on the zoom yesterday, just on his own. 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.800 You know, I'd like to specifically highlight a guy, you know, 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.440 Ramone Marquez. He was one that our scouts had flagged 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.640 early on in this process and a guy that we 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.920 weren't sure we were going to have access to. So 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.440 somebody that were extremely excited about to add to the 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.960 system and feel like he's a starting pitcher that's going 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.120 to slot up in the top of our system going forward. 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.919 So you know, a guy like that, I think he's 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.280 going to probably carry a little bit more weight than 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:51.000 a few other pictures that might be a tier or 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:52.000 two down below that. 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.040 Yeah, we were saying this, I was joking earlier, but 0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.000 I love all my children. I just love my child 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.320 Ramone the best. Yeah, and that's the thing. 0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.400 Looking forward to Ramone, but really looking forward to return 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:03.919 from all three of these pictures. They picked up three 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.040 pictures that instantly got inserted into the top fifteen of 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.200 the Giants farm system. But even just beyond the names 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.160 and the status of these prospects. I love the fact 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:16.000 that Buster said that Ramon was on their radar for 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.560 a couple of weeks like going through this entire process, 0:03:19.840 --> 0:03:23.440 because that to me acknowledges that they needed to be 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:24.919 a seller at this trade deadline. 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:26.600 And look, Buster Posey was pretty. 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.880 Honest with us in our last conversation Zach manaskin as well. 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:32.280 Throughout the entire season, they were eighteen games under five 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:35.840 hundred yesterday before the trade deadline. There was no secret 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:37.960 in the world that the Giants needed to be sellers, 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.000 and they got the parties started early with the Patrick 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.880 Bailey trade, and they've obviously been doing their research throughout 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.640 the season, trying to get the best potential package for 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:48.000 some of these expiring contracts. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:48.640 Well, you know, we have. 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:52.040 You know, most people seem pretty happy with the trade results. 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.840 That's the calls and the tech. Some remaining cynical. I 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.640 get it. It's you know, they're seventeen under. 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:57.080 I get it. 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:58.920 But the point is is that something one of the 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.880 guys brought up said, well, well, you guys are touting 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.640 these prospects, Well, weren't you just chatting pitching prospects the 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.720 last two three years, and the answer is, well, not really. 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.000 It was a pretty light pitching pharm system. We're looking 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.200 at the Carson Seymour's and the Carson wizen Hunts of 0:04:13.240 --> 0:04:15.480 the world, the Land and Roots that Trevor McDonald's. You know, 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.560 we're all hopeful, but none of these The point I'm 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:19.880 trying to make here is none of these guys were 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.000 ranked as high. And by that I mean Jackson Flora, 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.279 who they drafted, and Ramon Mendez are immediately their top 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.400 two pitching prospects. So that tells you where they slot 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.200 that these guys are better than the guys they had 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:37.520 in the system prior. Now, Miguel Mendez from the Padres 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.680 may wind up being a reliever, but Jim Bowden said 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.359 that the Giants might have gotten three potential starting pitchers 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.800 in L lane from the Yankees, Mendez or Marquez from 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.920 the Phillies and Mendez from the Padres. The one I 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.680 want to talk about though now Marcus is probably the 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.200 most probably the sexiest one, and that's Marcela Meyer. Yep, 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.719 because this guy. I remember hearing about this guy. 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.040 I mean I remember I remember watching the draft when 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.719 he was the number four overall pick a few years ago. 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.760 Yeah, and so you know, the Red Sox were kind 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.960 of saying, this is our deal and this is what 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.400 we you know, our future is Roman Anthony and this 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.520 kid Marcel Meyer. It's spelled mayor like Oscar mayor Oscar. 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.760 Actually it's spelled like Oscar Meyer and pronounced like Oscar Meyer. 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.400 Oh I wish I was an Oscar Meyer. So here's 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:23.919 the problem. 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:26.960 The Red Sox parted with him, which means something happened 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.320 along the way the Red Sox didn't like. Now he's 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:32.520 had injury problems. That's number one. Is that something that's 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.800 going to dog him his whole career? If so, the 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.480 Red Sox made out number two. His big league stint 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.400 was not great. Two hundred and five at bats. He 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.440 hit two twenty with a five ninety four ops. Okay, 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.560 not great again, that's only two hundred and five at bats. 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.159 He came up in twenty twenty five, played forty four games. 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:55.320 This year, played seventy games. It just quite hasn't happened yet. Now, 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.720 if you're looking for the Red Sox perspective, they were 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.440 in their feelings a little bit because this was a 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.440 guy that kind of treasured. Now we know what it's 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.919 like to treasure or prospect Marco Luciano. I'm not saying 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.520 Marcelo Meyer is Marco Luciana, but we'm just saying you 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.320 can love a prospect and not want to get rid 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.240 of him. But at the same time, when do you 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.680 do an evaluation on a guy who's not gonna catch on? 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.560 Joey bart Joey bartch got traded again yesterday. But there's 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.640 an alternate narrative in that Marcella Meyer is twenty three 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:23.960 years old and has a lot of underlying positive metrics 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.120 and gets out of an organization where it didn't start. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:27.440 Great. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.560 Fan base is intents, media is intense. It's from the 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.760 West coast. He's from San Diego, from Chula Vista, went 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.720 to the same high school as Casey Schmidt. So maybe 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:39.880 you get him out, Maybe you give him patience. Casey Schmidt, 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.520 who could have been an All Star this year, needed patience, 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.360 Elliott Ramos who was an All Star, needed patience, So 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.239 Marcello Meyer could be And also Marcus last thought point 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.760 here before you can go, he might slide in and 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.680 you might get a chance to see this guy last 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.279 six weeks of the season. He has to heal up 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:00.040 an injury right now, but could could slide into second base. 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:01.560 Conceivably for the rest of the season. 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.839 Yeah, he's one of the players that you actually traded 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.680 for yesterday that has big league experience and to your point, 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:08.919 recovering from an injury right now. But I would not 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:11.160 be surprised to see him at second base or maybe 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.120 even third base later on the season, depending on what 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:14.800 happens with Matt Chadman. But he's a guy that can 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.160 kind of fill in right now for Casey Schmidt. And 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.240 you're absolutely right when it comes to Casey Schmidt, who 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.760 had a breakout year at age twenty seven. There were 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.640 people write him off when he was twenty three, twenty 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.960 four to twenty five years old. Elliott Ronalds same case, 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.160 writing him off when he's twenty three, twenty four, twenty 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.200 five years old, breaks out and becomes an All Star. 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:32.880 So yeah, not everybody's going to be Juan Soto at nineteen, 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:35.640 or Rafeo dever Is at nineteen, or a Mike Trout 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.360 or a Bryce Harper. Sometimes it does take a little 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.320 bit more development. Sometimes it does take a change of 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.560 scenery so I think when you can get a former 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.000 number four overall, pick a guy that's been highly regarded 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.600 as a top fifteen prospect in all baseball for the 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:53.560 last four seasons in return for Eric Miller a bullpen arm, 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.440 I think that's a pretty good damn trade you make 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:56.520 for a bi low candidate. 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.119 I'm intrigued by this guy, for sure. 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:01.280 They said there was that sucks fan said maybe he 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.520 was a bad influence on roman At like they partied. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:05.120 I don't know. I want to get into I don't 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:06.320 know anything about that. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.600 Listen, it was a massive change. Was it a fire sale, No, 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.120 we're joking firesal. We couldn't make it a fun because 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:15.400 they just just a garage sale. They kept Devers at 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.240 Dominson Chatman, they kept web They kill not every not 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.600 everybody is a master salesman like my guy Murph. You 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.280 can't just flip a TV for five dollars. 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.960 Sometimes at these garage sales, you take the product, you 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:26.520 put it on the front lawn, and then you got 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:27.640 to take it back inside. 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:29.120 There's not always buyers like I. 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.360 Understand Slipper with a matt Oh, you didn't trade Doverge, 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:34.040 you didn't trade Domice. You didn't trade Matt Chapman. It 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.640 takes two to tangle. You can't force other teams to 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.760 take these contracts. These are the consequences of the Giants' 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.480 actions committing this type of money and this type of 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:44.440 length when it comes to the contract. And now they're 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:45.880 going to have to figure out how to get better 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:47.920 around these guys if they're still on the roster for 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:48.440 the future. 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.800 I would add that the Pat Bailey trade was part 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.560 of the trade deadline too. I mean that was a big, 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.080 big trade. They got tug Bout, Wilkinson and this kid 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.400 Carson Bollman. Bollman with the twenty ninth pick. So we'll 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.599 see how those guys pan out two. Somebody texted and 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.840 said to Brian saman you say get three pictures. 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.199 And one will work out. Well, the Giants got a 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:04.800 lot of pictures. 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.439 They got Lelane, they got met Marquez, they got Jaiir, 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.480 they got Mendez, they got Molina, and they got Wilkinson. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:14.760 All in trades, that's six. Can you get two out 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:17.199 of those? Hopefully you can get more than that. All right, 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.480 Our great pal Tim Flannery is so excited to come 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:20.880 on the show. 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:21.600 He drove off. 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.000 He's off the grid down there in the wilds of 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.680 southern California.

And he came up to 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.200 me a few months ago and says we should do 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:04.520 some shows other So I hadn't I already had this plan, this, 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.040 this book, this tour.

And I brought him to my house down 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:24.560 in San Diego and I said, now, listen, Jake, you 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.600 have to show up. Your name's on the ticket. We're 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:33.280 selling tickets. You got it there. So I'm coaching.

He 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.440 blows out and killed he'll be there. 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:41.680 Man. 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.520 Hey, uh, there's one. I saw him at Sweetwater one night. 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:49.160 He opened with Tangled Up in Blue. Obviously Bob Dylan, 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.720 but that is one of those lyric heavy songs you 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:52.319 can ever. 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.440 And I I don't know, I don't. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:56.040 Know if he was reading off a teleprompter, but I 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.520 think he nailed all those lyrics. How do you memorize 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.360 the lyrics that Tangled Up in Blue? Come on, that's 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.000 an impressive feat by Jake Pete. 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.319 Well, first of all, you're not sixty eight years old, 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.000 because I got to use some cheat notes. 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:11.120 That's all right, you're all right, you're right. 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.959 But he is. He's really become great and he's been 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:19.240 playing some great places and yeah, and we've got a 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.800 great band. We got the Lunatic Friends with me and 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.560 I also have a couple buddies, Jeremy Plow, who was 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:29.480 an original Lunatic Friends, and Doug Pettibone who just came 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.840 off tour with Lucinda Williams and Bob Dylan tour. So 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:39.679 I'm bringing the Varsity for sure, and we've my band, 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.120 the Friends. We've been playing a bunch and so I 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.520 played probably ten shows every month up and down the coast, 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.959 and I'm just really excited to be able to do 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.640 this and tell stories. And I mean Jake and I 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.800 have some stories from you know, he was nineteen years 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.160 old when he came to San Diego and he wanted 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.000 to learn how to play guitar. So I went on 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:03.000 over to his place and brought him his guitar, brought 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.720 him got him a new guitar, his first guitar, taught 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.360 him three chords in the Truth and walked out the door. 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.600 And he's done everything else on his own. And then 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:13.640 when you see him, he says that I ruined his 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:16.120 life because I gave him a guitar and taught him 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.840 how to play. But I don't think I ruined it. 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.040 I think we helped it. And he's really become great. 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:26.320 And I can promise the Bay Area this will be 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.840 one of the best shows. I mean, I hate to 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.720 brag about my ball club, but we're and my ball 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.680 Club is my band. We're on we're firing on all 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.520 cylinders and we're playing a lot of great music. And 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.520 I'm so excited to come back and play the places 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.400 that we have played a bunch during the Love Harder 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.200 project and the time we were raising money and people 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.840 were helping us raise money and awareness for Brian Stowe. 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.960 So it's going to be a beautiful, beautiful four days. 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:01.360 I challenge people to join us, come all four shows 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.160 that they're all going to be different, and you might 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.360 even hook up with the boys afterwards for a late night. 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.160 I'm gonna tweet it out on my Twitter right now. 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.120 The poster you sent me Flann and Jake. 0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:14.760 It's gold. 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.440 So everybody needs the dates go to at cambr Murph. 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.360 I just sent it out right now, so go check 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.880 it out Flann while we while we yeah, no, of course, buddy. 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:24.240 I mean I'm trying to figure out a way to 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:25.240 get to the Nevado show. 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.680 I got. It's a Sunday night, which isn't great for me, 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:29.400 but well, well. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:33.040 It's early though. Okay, okay, early six o'clock show. 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:33.680 Is that the sets? 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.640 Because you're sixty eight now you got to play early 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:36.240 on Sundays. 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:42.920 Yeah, no, I love to play late. Nothing's changed, but 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.880 I will tell you the fire insurance to or something 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.560 I came up with, because my fire insurance here at 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.080 my I live off the grid a lot of the times. 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:56.440 It's gone from two grand to ten grand. So I'm 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.320 gonna go. You know, I've always used the money and 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.760 raised money for other things, but look, I'm on a 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.840 fixed income and when I need something like fire insurance, 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.520 I realized I hit nine home runs in the eighties 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.880 and I don't have like this a bunch of money 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:17.400 I can spit out. So the fire insurance tour is 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.240 gonna hopefully pay for my fire insurance, so my wife 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:21.560 would get off my hat. 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.280 Well, Flann, I know everybody's looking forward to seeing you 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.480 play this weekend, but also seeing you at the ballpark. 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.000 Quite the reunion with the Wall of Fame ceremony going 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.240 on this weekend with Buster Posey, Brennan Crawford, Brandon Bell, 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.640 Joe Panic, and Pablo Sandoval. We can spend this entire 0:16:37.720 --> 0:16:40.160 interview talking about each and every one of these players, 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:42.400 but just big picture, what are your films going into 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.320 this reunion this weekend and seeing those guys go on 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:44.920 the Wall of Fame. 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.680 Oh, I think it's great. These guys are legends, and 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:54.240 they came up as kids. They they were our hope. 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.760 When they showed up, you know, we knew they were coming, 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.120 and when Pablo had a pretty good breakout year, I 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.840 believe in two thousand and nine. I think we finished 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:04.560 five hundred at the end of that year, and we 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.160 knew that the great young pitching was coming the next year. 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:12.320 But they are such a joy to be around and 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:16.480 what they accomplished and to be a part of it. 0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.960 It's something that I think about every single day of 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.919 my life and draw strength from it. And also a 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.200 lot of humor comes from it as well with those 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.679 because they were the misfits. These guys were the characters, 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:32.399 you know. So I'm looking really looking forward to it 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.840 and looking forward to seeing Boach and Wotis and all 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:37.040 the coaches up there. They're all going to show up 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.720 and I'm sure we'll be telling some stories. 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:41.280 Oh yeah. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:42.680 By the way, somebody run in said, have you ever 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.800 considered Bochi as a background baritone for the band? 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:52.520 Actually, I'm gonna tell them, don't say this to him. 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:55.960 But I was playing a show at Poway performing Arts 0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:59.880 Center years ago, and Boach used to live in Pawaway, 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:04.760 and I had this beautiful she traveled with us a 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:08.200 few times. Eve sell us this beautiful singer and beautiful 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:12.000 heart and beautiful lady. Well Boats had to come up 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:15.000 on stage and he was singing behind her, or pretending 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:18.760 like he was singing behind her. But I wish I 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:22.000 would have had some video of that. But if I 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.400 had video of that, you know, him and I ran 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.600 the streets together as players for five or six years 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:31.480 before social media. Yes, I'm glad. I'm not getting over 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:32.560 channel work. 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.880 Nolan. No, no, no, no, We'll be cautious.
