When I 278 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 4: look at this scene, I talk about being able to 279 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 4: tilt the field. You've got everything. You've got guys with pop, 280 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,439 Speaker 4: you've got guys with speed. What's this team's identity or 281 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 4: is it, like we say, getting that old school mentality, 282 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 4: doing what you need to do to manufacturer run right? 283 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,599 Speaker 2: You take the homers when you get him. But like, 284 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 2: is it too early to say what the identity is? 285 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: It is too early. We still have to pitch and 286 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 2: play good difference. We have to do that. 287 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: I think you got the three areas that we talk 288 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,559 Speaker 1: about in the game. If you don't play defense, you 289 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 1: don't pitch, you're gonna be in trouble. 290 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: So we have to do that. I think the defense 291 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 2: is gonna be okay. 292 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: But since Rafi came back last week or this this 293 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: past weekend, Duran Raffi, Alex Cassas, it feels like we're 294 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: gonna score right away, you know, or we're gonna put 295 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: pressure on the pitcher right away. And three different at bats, 296 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: four different bats, actually, No, Bregman and Casas are very similar. 297 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 2: They don't. 298 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: They don't Chase. We're gonna let the big boy do 299 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: his thing. Go, I mean, go hit forty, bro, you know, 300 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: go hit forty and then Jaren he's gonna do the thing. Amazing, 301 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: amazing the way he plays a game. 302 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 2: I watched the to day. 303 00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 4: He had to pop up and he's on second base. 304 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 4: You actually tried like slow down, right, he can't do it. 305 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 4: But as a manager when he says that tone, like 306 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 4: how how much easy it is it for you to go, Hey, 307 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 4: if he's doing. 308 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: It, he's doing everybody has to do it. Yeah. 309 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: And he last year was amazing, impacting baseball, playing every day, 310 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: playing great defense. He went from a below average defender 311 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: to one of the best in the big leagues, you know, 312 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: and that that means a lot, you know. And uh, 313 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: he's another guy like Alex you know, looking for whatever, 314 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: you know whatever.

I just don't think I was mature 541 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 7: enough to be honest with you, in the baseball field. 542 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 7: Outside of baseball felt mature, but like I mean, actually 543 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 7: I still feel immature in the outside of baseball, but 544 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 7: like I felt like I was ready when I got there, 545 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 7: So I would say I couldn't have done it at 546 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 7: twenty one or twenty two. 547 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 2: I don't think i'd have been successful. 548 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 3: Hey, Brandon, I want to ask you about the Red 549 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 3: Sox organization because you've been there a couple of years 550 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 3: now and what you've seen changed since Craig Breslo took over. Obviously, 551 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 3: he loves you, he loves all lefties. I feel like 552 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 3: they're just drafting and trading and signing lefties left It's 553 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 3: it's crochet it's Chapman and just keep going down the line, right, 554 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 3: There's so many of them, so many more just in 555 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 3: the past couple of years. But but what else, like 556 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 3: what are you seeing? I mean last year the pitching staff, 557 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 3: I know, you know, things didn't work out at the 558 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 3: end of the season the way everyone wanted it to. 559 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 3: But the offense was there and the pitching started off 560 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 3: really strong. Some guys with breakouts. Is that because of 561 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 3: a new plan and a new strategy from the organization, 562 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 3: I think so. 563 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 7: I think I think we're really well researched organization. The 564 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 7: amount of work they put in to understand each pitcher individually, 565 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 7: what he does well, like what I do well, and 566 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 7: what we need to add going into the offseason or 567 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 7: during season, and pitch usage. It's a it's always learning aspect, 568 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 7: and they're always from from game to game like we're 569 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 7: looking at certain things and there's no stone left and 570 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 7: turned here. And I think that's been a huge help 571 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,199 Speaker 7: with our organization on the pitching aspect. 572 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 4: You talk about that a little bit deeper dive on 573 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 4: the individual and I know you talked about learning so 574 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 4: much in Mexico, but what have they gave you that 575 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 4: has helped you have so much success over here. 576 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 2: I don't know if you want to give it I 577 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 2: only you know if you want to give it away. 578 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 2: But what is it that you're like? 579 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 4: You know what, when I trust these things, when I 580 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 4: trust this process, usually I come out in a good spot. 581 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, well we added we added a cutter last year 582 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 7: that helped me out a ton, and then now we 583 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 7: added a change up to go against rioties and then 584 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 7: sticking with my bread and butter.
