1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: A lot of guys weren't like enjoying that we were

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: winning games. You know, a lot of people got caught

3
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: up in their own uh failures. It just kind of

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: felt like there was a lot of panic setting in.

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: Kevin polar Is here and styling by the.

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 3: Way outy howdy. I gotta say something before we start.

7
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 1: So one of you this morning you didn't see me

8
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: coming back from the gym, and you are doing the.

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 3: Show a disservice by wearing a full length.

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: Oh not the cutoff action. One day, I just said

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: one of you.

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say who, you know?

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 4: Who was to say, because if they had a cut

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 4: off shirt or a shirt that was six sizes too small,

15
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 4: it was Scott because that's normally what he wears.

16
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 3: Jack from from him walking by. I was impressed though,

17
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 3: in the show A disservice.

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 5: Scott doesn't want a moon.

19
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 4: Now long we've been trying to get into the shoe

20
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 4: with no shirt on, he won't do it.

21
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 6: Scott doesn't want a million subscribers because if he does

22
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 6: a shirtless show, two hours of shirtless Scott, I couldn't

23
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 6: say that too many times a million subscribers immediately.

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: Would shows what you're doing in there. Show me what

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 3: you're doing there. I'm in the.

26
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: Gym and I've been working out my whole life, and

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, I kind of got off the wagon for

28
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: a little bit since since I've been home and I'm

29
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: walking around the gym not knowing what to do.

30
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 3: I should have came in a little earlier and watched you.

31
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: That is the thing is you.

32
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 7: You can transition then right, like you can do more

33
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 7: of like the beach muscle workout kind of stuff, so

34
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 7: that you're clearly doing right. But baseball players, of course,

35
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 7: baseball players can't work out quite that way because you've

36
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 7: got to make sure you're all flexible and stable, not

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 7: too tight whatever. Actually, there's we've had that segment. There's

38
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 7: a few guys that I think, don't worry about that.

39
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 7: They get hurt a lot.

40
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: Super Yeah, he's not missing Chapman's miss Tyler O'Neil, O'Neill

41
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: missing John Carlow.

42
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: That's my point is there's a balance there.

43
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 6: So if you would have gone in and you would

44
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 6: have seen like six configurations of biceps and triceps, I

45
00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 6: need to learn.

46
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 2: Yes, but there's no rules.

47
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 7: I'm not competing in anything I'm just going there for

48
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 7: a good time and looking feel good, and there's a

49
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 7: guy scaring me next to me. It wasn't KP, but

50
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 7: who who shouted out a couple of times, and I

51
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 7: was like yelling at me, and he was singing in

52
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 7: a very packed gym, singing at whatever it was.

53
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: I was quite amazed, too, like the amount of people

54
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: that go to a gym on vacation in Vegas.

55
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: Vegas at seven in the morning.

56
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 7: They have a lot of conventions and stuff, so there's

57
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 7: some hard workers.

58
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: Anyway, how's life?

59
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: Life was good?

60
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: You were in the bigs and now you're chilling. You

61
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: got anything for us?

62
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, uh yeah, I guess I can officially

63
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: say that I'm done playing. I wanted to be one

64
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: hundred percent sure because of things I went through last year.

65
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: I kind of said it was gonna be my last year.

66
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: And I got into the off season and my mindset

67
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: kind of changed. I talked to a lot of guys

68
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: that are no long we're playing anymore, and they said,

69
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: you know you, it's near impossible to kind of retire

70
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: and then come back, right. So I wanted to make

71
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: sure that I was really done playing. And it started

72
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: kind of eating at me a little bit. I kind

73
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: of missed it. I didn't like the way the year ended.

74
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: Last year for me, I had the thumb surgery in

75
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: the off season. I went through that kind of tedious

76
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: process of rehabing. It got cleared to start, you know,

77
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: playing catch and hitting, and I was like, you know,

78
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: what if if I don't go back and try, I

79
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: might have some regrets. And I'm very thankful that I

80
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: went back and went to the spring training and you know,

81
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: got a chance to play for the Rangers, and you know,

82
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: it's unfortunate that it.

83
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: You know, my my season was cut short.

84
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: I was defade and you know, but once you kind

85
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: of get on the other side and you get a

86
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: chance to be home and be dad and spend time,

87
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: and you know, for a long time, I thought about

88
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: other things that you know, I've wanted to do, and

89
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: I had other interest in hobbies, and you finally get

90
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: a chance to explore those and do those, and you know,

91
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: you realize how stressful being a major league baseball player is.

92
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: You know, you you and I think for me, when

93
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: I started to realize when I was away from the game,

94
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: when I got to your faith that.

95
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 3: I realized that as great as it is to.

96
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: Be successful in the game and to have these highs

97
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: and to hit these home runs, the things that you know,

98
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: striking out or not being successful, we're going over your

99
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: last ten, those things always outweighed the success I had

100
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: in the game. Like I took the failure in the

101
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: game way harder than I enjoyed the success. And I

102
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: don't have to deal with the failure anymore. So I'm

103
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: pretty happy. I wake up every morning excited to be

104
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: dad and just kind of see what the day brings.

105
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 5: True. All right, so congratulations on a great crew. We

106
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 5: made a little video for you.

107
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 3: Okay, let's see it.

108
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 5: Let's get ready for this video.

109
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 3: Yay, thank you, thank you.

110
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 5: If that doesn't get you excited, me jumping out of

111
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 5: a cake.

112
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 2: And nothing, happy retirement and if you can tell me

113
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: what EMU is.

114
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: Oh, that's that's the place you were talking where Kratzy

115
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: needs to donate money.

116
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 5: Yes, thank you. They don't even have a covered batting case.

117
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's I heard that part. A couple of

118
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: days ago.

119
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 5: My son called him out for saying because he was

120
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 5: listening to this.

121
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: Hey, if you would have won that poker tournament. Could

122
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: you have donated that money to your school?

123
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 7: There's other great charities like yeah, yeah, he's got other

124
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 7: big stuff.

125
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 4: I would think they could use that money though, to

126
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 4: cover the batting cage.

127
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 5: Put a scoreboard. I don't know they have a scoreboard.

128
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 2: What do you want?

129
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 3: A video board? Maybe?

130
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 7: Respectfully, I don't give a crap right now. KP just

131
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 7: announced his retirement. So did you talk to your family?

132
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 7: Did you want to announce it like this? Like take

133
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 7: me more behind the scenes, also, just to how you

134
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 7: know this season went early on, because.

135
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I never really thought about how I wanted to

136
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: announce it, right, I mean, we talked a little bit

137
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: last night, and I guess the only thing I was

138
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: a little upset is I you know, not everyone gets

139
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: kind of their fairy tale ending. You know, you play

140
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: a long time, and you know, in my mind, I

141
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: think about, you know, I remember where I was at

142
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: when you know, Jeter had his final at bat I

143
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: think about the Stephen boat where his kids were up

144
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: in the you know, score booth and got to announce

145
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: you know, his last event.

146
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: He goes deep.

147
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: You know, we talked beyond the scenes. You know, not

148
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: everyone knew it was gonna be your last game. You

149
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be your last name. You had

150
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 1: an opportunity to have your you know, your kids, your

151
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: your wife, your family, your parents, all these people that

152
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: you know played a huge part in your baseball career

153
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: to be there.

154
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: You know. I wish I would have just got a

155
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: chance to play one more time. You know, I would

156
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: have loved to have been able to, you know.

157
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: Call my wife and my kids and be like, hey,

158
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: I think we're we're in Chicago at the time, Like, hey,

159
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: I need you here, my parents, my brother, you know,

160
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people in my agent, a lot of

161
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: people that you know, played a big part in my career.

162
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: I would have liked to known it was gonna be

163
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: my last game. But not everyone gets that opportunity, you know.

164
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: And I think that's kind of where I was on

165
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: the fence last year, is I I watched a lot

166
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: of my former teammates that were much better players than

167
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: me maybe go a little bit too long, and I

168
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: kind of wanted to go out on my own terms.

169
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 1: I want I wanted at least one or two people

170
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: to think, oh man, that guy could still play. But

171
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: when it's when it's taken from you when you get DFA.

172
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: You know, no one's sitting here thinking like he could

173
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: still play. It's like he got cut. He's done. You know,

174
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: if I would have retired last year, people there might

175
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: have been a handful of people out there like, oh,

176
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: he probably could help a team still. But I don't

177
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: think anyone's thinking that way. And maybe it's a bad

178
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: way of looking at it, but that's kind of how

179
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: it wanted to go out. But not everyone gets their

180
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 1: ferry too ending.

00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: No?

205
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: I wish they did, you know, And maybe maybe they're

206
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: listening to this now and maybe that's something they would

207
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: factor in. But you know, I yeah, I mean I

208
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: heard you guys talking to Dexter too. I think there's

209
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: got to be a little bit more human side to it.

210
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: And I get the importance of you know, every game

211
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: in the major leagues, the difference between one game and

212
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: one win and one loss could cost you the playoffs.

213
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: But you know, I made the team on opening day.

214
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: I you know, I wasn't I was good enough to

215
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 1: make the team an opening day. I don't think I

216
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: would have hurt the team by playing one more day

217
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think they could have, you know, allowed

218
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: me to play one game. You know, they could have

219
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: had a conversation and just said, hey, we're going to

220
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: move on. We're gonna give you an up to play

221
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: one more time. I would have loved that. But I

222
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: also understand the business side of it, so you know,

223
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: it's a tough thing. It's a tough thing they have

224
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: to do, but it would have been nice to play

225
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: one more time.

226
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 4: Everyone wants to play one more game. I mean, even

227
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 4: no matter who you are, even anybody do get that.

228
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: I'm sure if you haves Derek Jeter, he's like, I

229
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 4: would like one more bad or one more The thing

230
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: with what you said, I agree with you said. It'd

231
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 4: be nice if everybody got that opportunity to know that.

232
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 4: But at the same time, what's the line you would draw?

233
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 4: You know, certain guys Mickey and Mariano and those guys

234
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 4: they announced its David Ortiz was my last year, and

235
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 4: they went around and had their world tour and got

236
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 4: gifts and guitars and surfboards and all this stuff. What's

237
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, It's like, what's the line you draw?

238
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 4: You have to be a possible future, all of Amber.

239
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 4: Do you have to have ten years in the big

240
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 4: league to get that right, because there's there's, like you said,

241
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 4: there's so many guys that just they don't know. One

242
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 4: day they come in, they think they're doing all right,

243
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 4: like you did. Yeah, and you're like, oh, by the way,

244
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 4: you'r DFA And then you're like, you know what, I

245
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: don't need to do this anymore. My family's good back home.

246
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 4: So it's kind of a it's a fine line to what.

247
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's just a respecting. I think it's respecting.

248
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: I give you respect the player and the respect his

249
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: career and respect the you know, time that he's put

250
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: into the game, and.

251
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 3: You feel like, uh, you know, we want to do

252
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: that for him. I would be really appreciated from a

253
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 3: lot of players. You know, there's a lot.

254
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 4: Of not every player though, it's not every player knows

255
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: they're done. Yeah, like like you do, right, A lot

256
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 4: of players are like, oh, I got dfit. I can

257
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 4: still play, yeah, and I'm going to prove them wrong.

258
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 4: That's kind of three in this farewell game.

259
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

260
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and maybe there's that side of it

261
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: that I'm not thinking about it. You know, they're defaying

262
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: me and maybe they think I'm gonna, you know, lay

263
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: in somewhere else and finish out the year. But maybe

264
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: just out of the chance that it doesn't happen, it

265
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: would have been nice. And you know, I've been able

266
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: to talk to some people and I thought it was

267
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: really crazy. He's like, I, I, you know, when I

268
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: got done, I got dafade. I don't even remember my

269
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: last hit, and like, I barely remember it. I have

270
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: to kind of go through like the roller decks because

271
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: I think it was Robbie Ray. I think I had

272
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: like a single, and then I came home and I

273
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: went on the I L and when I came back

274
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 1: from the ale, I think I pinched it one time.

275
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: And it was just such a long gap in between

276
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: when I played. And then then I got DFA and

277
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I think that was my last

278
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: base hit. I mean it was over. I mean it's

279
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: been like three months now, but you know it wasn't.

280
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: It wasn't like quite like the story you told where

281
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: you know it was your final at bad and you

282
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: know it's a it's a memory that you had and

283
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: you got to share with your family. You know, mine

284
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: was kind of like a meaningless leadoff single in like

285
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: the fourth inning or something. You know, it would have

286
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: been nice to kind of know it was over and.

287
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: But against the cy young winner. But yes, understandable.

288
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: Yeah I threw that.

289
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 2: Yeah that's not that's not bad.

290
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 3: Just just in case I could still hit so with you.

291
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 7: Obviously for me, you had a second half of your

292
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 7: career here, but I think a lot about the first

293
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 7: half in Toronto.

294
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: So do you wish there was some connection there?

295
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 7: I mean, obviously you can still go there now that

296
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 7: you announced your retirement, and at some point they'll probably

297
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 7: want you to throw a first pit do something.

298
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: Right, and it's like give a little way into the crowd.

299
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it would. I think it would be cool.

300
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: I think it would be cool.

301
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, it'd be cool. Are you going to sign the

302
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 5: one day contract?

303
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: And I'm I'm glad I don't think so, but I'm

304
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: glad you should.

305
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: If someone if someone called me today and was like, hey,

306
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: would you want to do it?

307
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 3: Like you mean?

308
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 5: Sure?

309
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: I mean if it if it meant if I meant

310
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: enough to them for them to want to reach out

311
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: to me and do that, if I meant enough to

312
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: that city, that organization, you know, why not.

313
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 3: But I'm not going to pick up the phone.

314
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: And be like, hey, before I announce my retirement, i'd

315
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: like to sign a one day contract.

316
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 5: I'm glad you did this the way you do this,

317
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 5: because we talked about this last night.

318
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: The people you convinced me a little bit. But the

319
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: people you're an intimidating guy. The people that wait like.

320
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 4: Three years, they've waited like three years and they send

321
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 4: a letter out that says, dear baseball, you were great

322
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 4: to me.

323
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 5: I'm retiring, no kidding.

324
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: You haven't played for three years, Like it's so it's

325
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 4: cool that you just and I haven't official, So maybe

00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,199

327
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 5: I'm retired. Guys, I haven't played for ten years.

328
00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: I got to.

329
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: Send a letter.

330
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 4: Like this is the way announce it. When you know

331
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 4: you're done, you're done. Don't don't don't sit around and

332
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 4: think about it for two years and be like, you

333
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 4: know what got hump done? So awesome?

334
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm happy for you, Thank you, thank you. Yeah.

335
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if, like you said, if opportunities presented something

336
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: like that, you know, I think that would be great.

337
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: I mean, you played a long time, you played a

338
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: long time.

339
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm about to have a baby too, and it's kind

340
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: of a crazy thing that my next child that I

341
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: bring into this world is.

342
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 3: Gonna have no idea that I was ever a baseball player.

343
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: So if that's something that could happen, maybe in like

344
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: two three years from now, you know, get an opportunity

345
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: to go back to.

346
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 3: Toronto, maybe throw out a first pitch. I think that

347
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 3: would be a cool thing, you know.

348
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 5: But I teach you up for this because I sent

349
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 5: you Yeah, no, no, no, we don't have it.

350
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 3: We don't have it, do you think no?

351
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 6: Because I didn't think we were allowed to like push

352
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 6: it through for it's a highlight of of his first

353
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 6: ever walk off.

354
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 7: Oh well, it's probably just because MLB is the most

355
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 7: restrictive sport on the planet.

356
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: There's that.

357
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 6: But if you go back to Toronto, will you ask

358
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 6: me to be there to catch the first pitch? Since

359
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 6: without that first ever walk off, and you would never

360
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 6: be you without.

361
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 3: You're definitely high on my list.

362
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 6: Me and kp Our lockers were next to each other

363
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 6: in Toronto, and the only reason our lockers were next

364
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 6: to each other is because they would send him.

365
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 3: Down or they would send me down.

366
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 6: The third catcher and we had a joke we were

367
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 6: the twenty fifth guy on the roster, and so for

368
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 6: him to do what he ended up doing in Toronto,

369
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 6: for me was like something that it was amazing because

370
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 6: it was legitimately, hey, you know, are they going to

371
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 6: send me down because they don't need a third catcher

372
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 6: for four days because Dickie's not pitching, or are they

373
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 6: going to send him down? And he was doing stuff

374
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 6: that was great for the team, but it was early

375
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 6: on the Alexanthropolis train and he saw he had options,

376
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 6: so he would just move him in and out to

377
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 6: get ten years after that, I saw that from the beginning.

378
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 5: It's amazing.

379
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, thank you. I want to ask you

380
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: guys too that you brought this up. You know, I

381
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: look at transactions a lot, you know, I read what's

382
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: going on, and I maybe I didn't watch as intently

383
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: when I was playing. I'd maybe like scroll through it

384
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: to kind of see what's going But it seems like

385
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: every day.

386
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: There's hundreds of moves.

387
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: And I know I ran the shuttle for a while,

388
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: you ran the shuttle, but it always seemed like it

389
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: was like the same two guys. You know, it was

390
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: like you kind of knew, like in the fourth inning, like,

391
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: oh man, the starter went out early, we're gonna use

392
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: a bullpen day.

393
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 3: You're like, I hope it's him.

394
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: I hope it's not me, because one of us is leaving.

395
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: But it was always like one or two guys. But

396
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: it seems like every day there's like ten fifteen moves.

397
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: There's like guys opting out, you know, sending guys up

398
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: and down. I mean, is that something that's.

399
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 5: Because they changed the rules.

400
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, because Ismael Rogers, Ismil Rodgers was gonna get sent

401
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 6: down or called back up because they used all their

402
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 6: innings and you or I were going to go back

403
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 6: and forth. You used to be able send a guy

404
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 6: seven times. Now it's you can only do five, which

405
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 6: sounds like a crazy numbers.

406
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 2: It's a whole lot. That's once a month.

407
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 6: Basically, it's crazy to be able to send that many times. So, yes,

408
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 6: you're seeing it exactly right.

409
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

410
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, I feel like rosters used

411
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: to be constructed with like some flexibility, and there was

412
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: always kind of some expendable guys.

413
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: Maybe you know, younger bullpen guy.

414
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: Maybe you had like a you know, a younger utility guy,

415
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: and you could kind of shuttle them up, but it

416
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: seems like every day there's like teams are making two

417
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: or three moves a day.

418
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 5: It's a lot, all right.

419
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 7: Harry's is going to get an award here MVP in

420
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,920

421
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 7: it to things that we talk about, it's not expensive

422
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,280

00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 4: Listen as somebody right now that needs a Harry's, I've

00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 4: just been lazy. Harry's. I have plenty of them lined

Speaker 7: An awesome, awesome career. Congrats again, kp. I want to

444
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 7: ask you first. We'll go backwards, so let's start with

445
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 7: this year. What was it like to be part of

446
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 7: the Rangers? What was the experience like? Obviously a lot

447
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 7: of people want to know why the team isn't hitting.

448
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean things, things.

449
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: Sometimes a little bit, your perception of a team can

450
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: be a little bit different than you actually.

451
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 3: Get into spring training and you're around the guys.

452
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 5: And.

453
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 3: It was a little bit different.

454
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: You know, them coming off of winning a World Series

455
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago.

456
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: That was the team that I thought I was joining.

457
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 3: I never won a World Series, you.

458
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: Know, I went deep in the playoffs a couple of times.

459
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: I know, I can only imagine what it's like to

460
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: win a World Series. The off seasons different and you know,

461
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: a year removed from that, you know, and that's what

462
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: they talked about. It was just a different offseason. They

463
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: struggled the year after winning the World Series. Guys didn't

464
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: know when to start training. You know, you're on these

465
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: you're celebrating, You're on this tour forever, rightfully so, because

466
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: it's probably the greatest feeling in the world.

467
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: But I was happy I went.

468
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: You know, I had just moved my family to the

469
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 1: Dallas area, so that was kind of a dream come true.

470
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: Even though it was sure to you know, live at home,

471
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: take my kids to school in the morning, and then

472
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, feel like I was going to work. You know,

473
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: it didn't feel like you know, I didn't have to

474
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: rent a place that wasn't in a different place. My

475
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: kids got to live a normal life. They went to school,

476
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: they had their activities, they had their sports. You know,

477
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: my family was there.

478
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: It was great. I wish it would have lasted longer.

479
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: I wish I ild got a chance to you know,

480
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: perform a little bit better and play a little bit better.

481
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 3: And you know, like I mentioned, go out of my

482
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 3: own terms. But no regrets.

483
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 6: What are some of the things that you anticipated going

484
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 6: and that weren't there something that you could elaborate on

485
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 6: a little bit.

486
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought, uh, you know, you know, listening to

487
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,719
Speaker 1: a dexter the other day, you know, I thought they

488
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: would be a little bit tighter as a group. I

489
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: thought it would be like, you know, kind of like

490
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: my experience in Atlanta. That was probably one of the

491
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: tightest groups since you know, I was in in Toronto.

492
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: It's like everyone just you know, pulled on the same rope.

493
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: Everyone wanted to hang out, everyone want to do everything together,

494
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: everyone one. You know, winning was the most important thing

495
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: every day. And uh do when I got in the

496
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: clubhouse in Texas and there's a there's a lot of

497
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: talent in there, and there's just a lot of individual

498
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: stuff going on. A lot of guys are doing their

499
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: own thing. You might not see people till the game

500
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: uh goes on until Yeah, guys are kind of just

501
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 1: doing their own thing, whether they have their own room

502
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: and and there's not a knock against people that have

503
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: their own routines, right, Some people, you know have routines

504
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: where they do like training room and they do their

505
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: own stuff in the weight room. You know, they have

506
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: everything kind of timed out. You know, as you get

507
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: older in the game, you were in that right to

508
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: kind of like, this is how I go through my routine.

509
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: No BP, Yeah, not a lot of VP, not a

510
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: lot of uh, you know, stretching together. And I just

511
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 1: felt like maybe for me just being kind of the

512
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: outcast because a lot of the it's a lot of

513
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: the same guys there that won the World Series, So

514
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: maybe I was kind of on the outside. I was

515
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 1: kind of looking more of a way to kind of,

516
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, get in that inner circle and a lot

517
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: of that times that comes through, you know, stretch and VP,

518
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: where you know, you talk about things other than baseball,

519
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: you get to know guys a little bit more. And

520
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: that would even start like in spring training. But to me,

521
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: the reason there, I think a lot of guys just

522
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: got off to a bad start individually and the pitching

523
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: was so good and we were still winning. We they

524
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: were still winning games. I guess it was we at

525
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: the time. They were still winning games. It just seemed

526
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: like it just the the winning didn't seem uh it

527
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: didn't a lot of guys weren't like enjoying that we

528
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: were winning games. You know, a lot of people got

529
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: caught up in their own uh failures, and just it

530
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: wasn't even it wasn't even like, uh, you know, we

531
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: had an aircraft. It wasn't like one guy was carrying

532
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: the team, you know, they were driving all the It

533
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: was like, you know, we managed to get a couple

534
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: of guys on base and will come with a big hit.

535
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: You'd win two to one, but they'd be one for

536
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: four everyone else, you know, you know, zero four.

537
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 3: On the day.

538
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: And that just happened for you know, pretty much the

539
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: first month this season, and then it just kind of

540
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: felt like there was a lot of panic setting in.

541
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: You know, there was things that happen, you know, behind

542
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: closed walls. Things were getting taken away, things were being

543
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: you know forced upon, you know, things were becoming mandatory.

544
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: And then a lot of guys, a lot of guys

545
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,959
Speaker 1: were trying to make up for a bad start. They

546
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: were trying to get it all back in one day,

547
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: as opposed to being like I kept trying to remind guys.

548
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, there was a point we were like thirteen

549
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: and six and we had like the worst batting average

550
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: in baseball. I'm like, collectively we have hit rock bottom

551
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 1: as an offense. But we were winning games like this

552
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: should motivate us, Like we should be thankful that our

553
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: pitching staff is so dominant and that we're finding ways

554
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: to win games, and like, you know, day by day

555
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: going to get out of this. And it's just kind

556
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: of been that trend oh year. It's like guys are

557
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: trying to get above water, and it's a hard thing

558
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: to do. I mean, I've been there too, you know.

559
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: It's I think that's the hardest thing about baseball.

560
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 3: Baseball.

561
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: I've always said this, Baseball is the ultimate team sport.

562
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: But it's also the ultimate individual sport.

563
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: You know, this is the only sport in the world

564
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: where you play by two different sets of rules.

565
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 3: How you play in the regular season, how you play

566
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 3: in the postseason.

567
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: If someone could figure out a way to run a team,

568
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: and maybe that's kind of what the Dodgers do because

569
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: they do have a lot of guys under contract where

570
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: they have other guys playing for stuff, they have guys

571
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: trying to play for the Hall of Fame. But when

572
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: you have guys like financially secure and winning is the

573
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: most important thing, you start playing by those set of

574
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: rules that you do in the playoffs, because in the playoffs,

575
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: winning is the only thing that matters.

576
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 3: You played a long time. You play in a lot

577
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 3: of playoffs.

578
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: You've had games where you've had four hits in a

579
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: playoff game you lose and it's the worst feeling in

580
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: the world. You've had games you get no hits but

581
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: you win and it's the best feeling in the world.

582
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: How do you kind of create that feeling for one

583
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two. I don't think you can. It's

584
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: really hard because at the end of the day, much

585
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: like I mentioned, with all the transactions going on, we

586
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: are individual contractors. Like you need to perform individually in

587
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: order for you to be successful, for you to take

588
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: care of your family. And that's I think that's the

589
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: challenge with baseball is, you know, how do you how

590
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: do you still feel good as a young player? You know,

591
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: and the Rangers, you have a lot of young players.

592
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: They have guys coming up in arbitration. Obviously, they want

593
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: to perform, they want to, you know, make money, they

594
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: want to take care of their families. You know, this

595
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: is our livelihood. You know, people may forget that at

596
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: some point, but this is how we take care of

597
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: our families, how we put food on the table, just

598
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: how we pay for, you know, living, That's how we

599
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,679
Speaker 1: play for our kids to go to college. You do

600
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: want to perform, but the end of the day, winning

601
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: is also important. So how do you try to kind

602
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: of blend those two. It's a hard thing.

603
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the balance, right. I think we got time

604
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 7: for one more question with Kevin Pollar, who obviously will

605
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 7: join us again soon. Actually will definitely join us again soon.

606
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 7: Rumor is maybe a little guest hosting action coming up,

607
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 7: but that'll that'll be a good you finished again, I think.

608
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: So there are many going on.

609
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: Maybe you're getting sent down for the day.

610
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: He calls it getting fired, which I like, it's true.

611
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 3: It's so true.

612
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: You get fired from your.

613
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, people like will ask, like, you know where I'm

614
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: living now? Like, oh, you know why you're done playing?

615
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: They're like, what's I'm like, I got fired.

616
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 3: It's just a nice way of saying it.

617
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 5: It's fired when you get optioned to Major Baseball. Came

618
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 5: up with that word so that people are like, oh, wow,

619
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 5: he chose to go to Triple A. It wasn't my option.

620
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 2: I got optioned.

621
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 3: I got fired back to them, wasn't my option. Yeah,

622
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 3: that's what sent me to Buffalo wasn't my option. It

623
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 3: was their option. It was their choice. Their choice wasn't

624
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 3: my option.

625
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 7: Well, what do you want to do? So what's the

626
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 7: plan you think? And I mean, obviously, you literally just

627
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 7: retired twenty minutes ago. But do you have things that

628
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 7: you want to do? Obviously, fan time.

629
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, family time is important.

630
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:05,919
Speaker 5: You know.

631
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: I have the property that I bond in Texas and

632
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: I got my lamas. I'm about to get some longhorns.

633
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: I just enjoy like fixing things and doing stuff and

634
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: like taking care of my own property. I wish those

635
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: things made money and they paid the bills, so eventually

636
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: I'll have to get back into the workforce, but I

637
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: enjoy stuff like this. I enjoy talking the game. I

638
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: think the game isn't a good place. I think it

639
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: could be in a better place. I think what you

640
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: guys are doing on your show is great.

641
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 3: I love the.

642
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: Fact you guys say what you want, you have no agenda.

643
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 1: I think that needs to be talked about more. I

644
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: think having foreign players, the good, the bad, the ugly

645
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: things that happen in the game need to be kind

646
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: of talked about. The great things about the game need

647
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: to be shared. So I look forward to doing.

648
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 3: This and more.

649
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 7: I love that DIY does not make you money, but

650
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 7: it does actually save you money.

651
00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 3: That's true. I'm more.

652
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, right now I'm in the saving the money phase

653
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: of life, not really making the money question.

654
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 4: I want to know, how does the guy from Los

655
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 4: Angeles end up being a fake cowboy with the cowboy

656
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 4: head on?

657
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: A minute?

658
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: You don't have enough time for me to discuss the

659
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: fake cowboy.

660
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 3: That's a longer discussion than a minute.

661
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 2: Trying embracing.

662
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm embracing, I'm embracing racing. I don't quite I'm I'm

663
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: somewhere between a rancher, a farmer, and a cowboy. I

664
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: don't know what that is. Maybe just a landowner. You know,

665
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: a guy that does projects, a guy that likes to

666
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: mow his own lawn.

667
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: Lamas and longhorns, that gets you some streak.

668
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 3: That sounds like a sounds like a show. Next time,

669
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 3: he's gonna have a rag on under the cowboy hat.

670
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: I don't know.

671
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 7: Lamas and long long horns, that gets some string credit.

672
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 5: Long balls.

673
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 3: Lamas and long horns, yeah, except it hit two balls.

674
00:27:53,480 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 7: Okay, to be something about games, singles, stealing, running along.

675
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 2: Way that flows off the tongue.

676
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 7: Thanks again man obviously, thanks for doing that here and

677
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 7: congrats again on retirement.

678
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:09,800
