1
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: You know a j The Brewers do have a back

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: to back champ for Manager of the Year but also

3
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: for Executive of the Year. And you're sitting next to

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: the great Matt Arnold right now.

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 2: I know.

6
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 3: That's what I was gonna get on about. I didn't

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 3: even know that he won those awards until I pulled

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 3: up his wiki page. So I thought that he'd be

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 3: like Murph, carrying the awards around with him everywhere. But

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 3: he doesn't even have a quarter zip on, so how

11
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 3: can we expect him to to win a third one?

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 4: It's tough, man, I mean, if you got is that

13
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 4: the quarter you gotta wear the quarters if to get

14
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 4: an award, I don't know you to be a GM

15
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 4: you have Oh yeah, I got plenty of I got

16
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 4: a bunch of those.

17
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 5: I got plenty of those. It's a little warmer today.

18
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 5: I don't know.

19
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 4: I was trying to go with something a little thinner,

20
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 4: but I don't sporty. Yeah, a little sporty. I'm I'm

21
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 4: not sporty. No, I mean that's not I'm not an athlete. No,

22
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 4: I try.

23
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 2: But the best shape of your life.

24
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 4: I know, coming to most people coming to camp in

25
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 4: the best airline I'm probably in the worst my life. No,

26
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 4: I'm doing all right. Well, yeah, we play a little

27
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 4: pickleball with the guys and staff coaches for front office.

28
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 4: I call like our front office group is kind of

29
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 4: the G League a little bit like when we play

30
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 4: together and then we get the coaches involved, and that's

31
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 4: that's the NBA.

32
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 5: So we have those guys are really good.

33
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 4: Who's the best, oh Man, probably somewhere between Matt Erickson

34
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: and Jason Lane. Those guys are. Those guys are both exceptional.

35
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 4: So and I love playing with him. To keep you humble,

36
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: Layer's really good, Lefty with some with thunder, It's it's good.

37
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 5: He's really good.

38
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: Are you a blue bit over the net guy or

39
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: you I.

40
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: Got a little I got a little hammer. But it's uh,

41
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 4: it's a it's a it's a mixed bag. I just,

42
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: you know, I'm not consistent enough. Like, those guys are

43
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 4: really good, and I just love to play. It's like

44
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 4: whiffle ball, you know, It's just so much fun and

45
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 4: it's it's it's way better than being on a treadmill,

46
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 4: you know, So I love it.

47
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 6: Murph calls you guys the Ivory Tower. Is that a?

48
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 7: Is that a derogative term that you prefer not to use.

49
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 7: Or is your pickleball name the Ivory Tower.

50
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: I don't have any pickleball name. Uh, but no, I

51
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 4: I don't look I mean, I I think it's uh Murph.

52
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 4: Murphy has all kinds of nicknames for everybody, and usually

53
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 4: they have a double meaning, so that can be fun

54
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 4: depending on what he's he's saying, and maybe there's an

55
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 4: underlying meaning to to to things. But no, he's he's

56
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: got nicknames for all of us. Man, and he comes

57
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 4: at you and and he he wants to keep you humble.

58
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 4: I think that's the most important thing with with Murph

59
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 4: is uh coming to work every day, working hard, being

60
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 4: about the team, you know, and all the great things

61
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 4: that he brings. And I love working with him.

62
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: By the way, is that why you weren't at his

63
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: award when he got his second manager? Were you too

64
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: busy a playing pickleball or be accepting your award?

65
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 5: Okay, none of that.

66
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 4: So last year, if you remember the year before, I

67
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 4: I gave the speech to it to announce his award.

68
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 4: This year, this year we had we had all those

69
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 4: cancelations with the weather, so like all of our flights

70
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 4: got canceled going to New York. I mean they canceled

71
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 4: all of our flights going going in and out of

72
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 4: New York.

73
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 5: It was a mess.

74
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 4: I'm not going that good man. We got to come

75
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 4: on a few more games to get there, but that

76
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 4: was okay.

77
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 5: We had a good year.

78
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: You didn't want to my speech. Is that what happened?

79
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 5: I would love to hear your speech always. Yeah, okay,

80
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 5: I would always.

81
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 4: I tried to had flights booked and everything. We were

82
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 4: going to go, but we didn't.

83
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 5: Uh it.

84
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: We need to call mister Antonosio and figure out the

85
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: PJ situation.

86
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 5: Uh, you can make that phone call on.

87
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: The show was streaming on Foul Territory Lives, so he

88
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: was able to catch it. There, no big deal.

89
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 5: He wasn't matched.

90
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so there you go. We provided the live stream

91
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: question for you just because AJ mentioned and joked about it.

92
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever asked front office exact this.

93
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on best shape of his life?

94
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: When you hear that, when you see that in an article,

95
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: what does it mean to you? And how often does

96
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: that actually mean anything? In the grand scheme? Obviously, you

97
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: want your players to be in shape, but best shape

98
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: of your life first couple of weeks of camp seems

99
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: to be kind of a running joke these days.

100
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, it's funny. Like I think back in the day,

101
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: you heard it all the time. You know, guys would

102
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 4: come in and say, I'm in the best shape of

103
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: my life. I think now we can actually measure a

104
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: little bit more of that, and so guys are guys

105
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: are coming in with intake and the physical process, and

106
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 4: so you can kind of get a better sense of

107
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 4: what that looks like from guys coming in. So if

108
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 4: they're if they say they're in the best shape of life,

109
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 4: you can actually tell if they are, because we try

110
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: to get baselines on guys coming in and out of camp.

111
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: But you know, I'm certainly not at that point that

112
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: nobody wants to see.

113
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: That is your intake. You get on the scale with

114
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 3: the little handles. It gives you your body mask.

115
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 4: Wygo, you know, a little marbled meat. I don't know

116
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 4: if it's not. You don't want front office. You don't

117
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 4: want the most delicious delicious.

118
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: And it is the most expensive.

119
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 5: That's right.

120
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: You guys had an interesting offseason and you're you're in

121
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 3: charge of what happens. How hard is it to trade

122
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: a Freddy Peralta, How hard is it to trade Durbin?

123
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 3: How hard are the he's moved to Megan? And how

124
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 3: far in front of things do you have to stay

125
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 3: as the Milwaukee Brewers to win ninety seven games again

126
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: like you guys did last year?

127
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 5: Yeah? Really tough.

128
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 4: I mean, you move guys like that that mean a

129
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 4: lot to the franchise, mean a lot to the room.

130
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 4: You know, don't take that lightly at all. We've had

131
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 4: to do this for a number of years here with

132
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 4: Devin Williams and Corbyn Burns, Josh Hater, etcetera. Like those

133
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 4: are really hard, hard on the franchise. And I think,

134
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 4: you know, we have a great support group. I think

135
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: around to try to insulate ourselves with good coaches and

136
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 4: good you know, obviously good character guys that we have

137
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 4: in the room. And I think a lot of times

138
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 4: when you make those kind of moves, it's also saying

139
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: we want to bet on the people that are still here.

140
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 4: You know, it's not anything against the people that are leaving,

141
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 4: but we really want to do what we can to

142
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 4: bet on the people in the room and then also

143
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 4: bring in talent to help us win now and tomorrow,

144
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 4: you know, And that's always the balance that we're trying

145
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 4: to to. We're trying to walk that line every single

146
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 4: day here with the Brewers.

147
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 7: When I look at when I looked at the team

148
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 7: going into about three weeks ago, I said, this was

149
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 7: the year that since twenty eighteen when I was there,

150
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 7: it's like this team is always there, always there, always there.

151
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 7: Do you guys look when you do your projections and

152
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 7: say what would it mean to this team and could

153
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 7: we be a World Series champion if we were to

154
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 7: add a Trek schoobl if we were to add a

155
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 7: one year piece instead of losing the one year piece.

156
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 7: Do you guys make those projections and say no, it'll

157
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 7: never happen, or you just say no, we're not going

158
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 7: to waste our time with an exercise like that that

159
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 7: could put us back three or four years.

160
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Krasy, I think that's a great question.

161
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 4: I mean we've done that in a lot of cases.

162
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 4: I mean going back to Yasmani Grendal and even this

163
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 4: year of bringing back somebody like Brandon Woodruff as the

164
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 4: highest aav of any pitcher that we've ever had in

165
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 4: this franchise. You know, I mean to have the support

166
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 4: from our ownership to bring back somebody like what do

167
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: you mean so much to our franchise and our room

168
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: and the huge games that he's pitched in that really

169
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 4: means a lot, you know. So we have gone out,

170
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 4: Mike Mustak. We we've bringing brought in a number of

171
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 4: those types of guys. We just can't do it all

172
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 4: the time, but we've had great support to do so

173
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: over the years, and and you know, when the time

174
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 4: is right, you know, we felt like the time was

175
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 4: right with with Brandon Woodruff and we're we couldn't be

176
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 4: more thrilled to have Woody back in our in our

177
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 4: mix here.

178
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 3: By the way, krats as bad at you. Why because

179
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: when you brought Grandell and you had to fire him.

180
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 3: So he oh he still has yeah, still has feelings

181
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 3: for that.

182
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 4: Oh no, I still love you, Cratsy. I mean, come on, man,

183
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 4: come on, we loved having you here, so you're always welcome.

184
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 6: Not enough, not enough. I could have been there, We

185
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 6: could have been somebody.

186
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 5: Here we go. We were somebody. A great run man,

187
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 5: you get hey.

188
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 7: Huge in nineteen. I'll never forget. I'll never forget. It's

189
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 7: totally off topic. We've talked about grand All. When they

190
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 7: brought grand All in it's spring training. I was walking

191
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 7: by it counts, goes Craig. Council goes, well, you know what,

192
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 7: the catcher has to bat four times a game too,

193
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 7: so I feel like this is a good upgrade.

194
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, well, the catcher doesn't have

195
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: a bad four times. They can get pinch it for

196
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: their second at bat, maybe cratzy, depending on how the

197
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: game's going. I don't know what that was like for

198
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: a lot of my time, but I used to have

199
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: to be the guy would have to pinch it for

200
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: the other guy.

201
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 7: Yep, seventh thinning, you're gone. You had too bad at batch,

202
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 7: You're out of the game.

203
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: To say you, Hey, Matt, I have a question for you.

204
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: We had the you know on and off because the

205
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: reporters are good at getting as much info as possible.

206
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: Conversations with are they going to trade Freddie p or not?

207
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: So what is that communication like with you and Freddie

208
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: and with the agent where it's like, I think you're good,

209
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: maybe not. Things are picking up again because I'm sure

210
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: you don't want to just constantly be making phone calls.

211
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: But Also, this is the guy who has earned respective

212
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: the org been there for a while, and you want

213
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: to be as communicative as possible, especially as you get

214
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: closer to spring training and he's gonna suddenly be in

215
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: Florida instead of Arizona.

216
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, no question. Freddie and I had a great relationship.

217
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 4: I've known him since he was nineteen eighteen years old

218
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: when we first got him, and always tried to keep

219
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 4: the line of communications open with him and his agent,

220
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 4: Seth Lovinson, and so we have really good relationships with

221
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 4: those guys. Tried to be very open and honest, and

222
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 4: it was a two way street, you know, just making

223
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: sure we're on the same page and what's going on,

224
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 4: what's happening, and trying to make sure that we kept

225
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 4: him in the loop. I think the worst thing to

226
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 4: do is surprise people on these types of things, and

227
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 4: just having those conversations, being open and honest with your guys.

228
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 4: Having that kind of culture here something that really really

229
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 4: matters to me certainly. And I love Freddy to death.

230
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 4: I was talking to David Stearns yesterday about him, and

231
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 4: it sounds like he's doing great over there, and I'm

232
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 4: a huge Freddie Perulta fan. I hope he has a

233
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 4: great season, a great career, nothing but the best. Wish

234
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 4: nothing about the best for Freddy.

235
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,400

242
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: game started a few days ago. Aj, I'm looking at

243
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: Tuesday since many people will catch this show after the

244
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: games have already started on Monday. But we have Ranger

245

Speaker 1: spring training debut for the Cubbies out in Arizona, Andrew

248

249
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: to start for the Brewers on Tuesday. He was in

250
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: their mind a pretty big acquisition coming over from the Royals.

251
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: He's always had good stuff. Gavin Stone against Gavin Williams

252

253

Speaker 1: his first spring trading outing for the Mariners. So there

254
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: are some good spots to look at to grab some tickets.

255
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 3: There there are, and this is the time to go

256

Speaker 1: Thank you to seek Geek.

280
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 7: I think when gms say that sometimes I feel like

281
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 7: it's eye wash with Matt Arnold, with David Stearns before you.

282
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 7: It's not eye wash. It's actually honest. The communication is

283
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 7: there and you guys care about the communication. But my

284
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 7: question is on Freddie p Corbyn, Burns, Josh Hater and

285
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 7: Devin Williams, which one was the toughest communication because of

286
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 7: anything that happened, because of how it was going with

287
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 7: not necessarily like oh man, you know, it's a tough

288
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 7: relationship and each relationship is unique. But of those the

289
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 7: big guys that have been traded recently, which one was

290
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 7: the toughest to communicate too in the sense of like,

291
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 7: you know, ah, man, like got close to this guy.

292
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 7: This was at the beginning of my tenure. You were

293
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 7: assistant GM during a couple during one of those trades.

294
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, I mean I think it's a good question.

295
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: I think they're all they're all different, they're all challenging

296
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 4: in their own ways. I think probably the hater one

297
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 4: just because it happened in season. You know, the others

298
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 4: were were more in the off season. And when you

299
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 4: do something like that with your closer in season, I

300
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 4: totally understand, you know, the ramifications around that and how

301
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 4: challenging that can be to digest for everyone, for our fans,

302
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 4: for our clubhouse, for our front office, like everybody. I

303
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 4: think that's those are certainly challenging, But you know, you're

304
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 4: able to zoom out a little bit and sort of

305
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 4: understand what that what that pain looks like. And fast forward.

306
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 4: Now you have somebody like like William Petreras in the

307
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 4: in the clubhouse, you know, and and couldn't be more

308
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 4: thrilled to have that guy. He's been a warrior for

309
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 4: us for a lot of years. And so again it's

310
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 4: just the finding that right balance. But the you know,

311
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: going through those processes, especially in season, are certainly challenging.

312
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: Hey, Matt, why do some of the trades take so

313
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: damn long? This is the question from fans. Sometimes they're

314
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: like it finally happens in late January, or even we

315
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: just saw the Durbin deal in February. Do you think

316
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: a lot of it has to do with other moves

317
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: like free agents finding a home and then teams jump

318
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: back into the trade well, or is it, Hey, we

319
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 1: have a conversation with some teams, feel like we want

320
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: this next tier prospect that we're looking for, and finally

321
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: it comes around at that point, Like, what do you

322
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: think is one of the biggest reasons why the stall

323
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: happens from November December up until close to spring training.

324
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a good question.

325
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 4: I mean, some of it's probably just deadlines, right, Like

326
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 4: deadlines are powerful in this game, and so when you

327
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 4: have team you know, moments where you're about to report

328
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 4: to camp, or you're you're about to start the season,

329
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 4: or there's a trade deadline like those, those deadlines are

330
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 4: impactful to speed up conversations, you know. But but ultimately

331
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 4: you know they're they're all different and unique, and you're

332
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 4: always one phone call away. You know, you can feel

333
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 4: like you're far apart, and then you know one phone

334
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 4: call can change that, you know, And then so you're

335
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 4: layering in that conversation you're having with the other team,

336
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 4: but then at the same time you're also talking to

337
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 4: the rest of the market and seeing what happens and

338
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 4: things can emerge. Maybe there's an injury, or there's a

339
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 4: situation where somebody else makes a trade and there's a

340
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 4: need there and somebody else emerges that was that was

341
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 4: in the mix that you didn't an dipate, And you

342
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 4: just want to be thorough, you know, And so I

343
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 4: don't know if we you know, you don't want to

344
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 4: miss out on anything and move too fast, but you

345
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 4: want to miss you know, move too slow and also

346
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 4: miss out on something either. So it's just trying to

347
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 4: find that right balance and and do what's best really

348
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 4: for both sides.

349
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 5: You know. I think when you you make.

350
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 4: A trade, whether it's a Durban trade or a Freddi

351
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 4: Peerult trade, like hopefully works out for both sides.

352
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 5: You know.

353
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 4: I think that's they're getting good players, you know. There's

354
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 4: when you're getting a guy like Caleb Durban, who meant

355
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 4: a lot to our franchise. The Red Sox are getting

356
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 4: a really good play there, and we hope we are

357
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: as well, you know, with with Harrison and Johann and Hamilton,

358
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 4: Like we're really happy with those guys. And again, I

359
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 4: just hope when you're making good deals with with teams

360
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 4: that works out for both sides.

361
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: We had price on.

362
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 3: We already talked to Bryce, We've already talked to sal

363
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 3: We've already talked to miss.

364
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: Any extensions in the.

365
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 4: Future, always open, Yeah, I mean you well, I mean

366
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 4: it's a two way street. I mean we can reach

367
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 4: out for sure. I mean, let's we can go on

368
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 4: a little walk and talk. I'm an agent, that's up

369
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 4: to you, that's coming from them, So you can negotiate

370
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 4: that one if you want. But no, we we love

371
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 4: those guys and and uh obviously we've done that with

372
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 4: a number of players here, and certainly always open to

373
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 4: having those kind of conversations.

374
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 5: Okay, I mean always open to having the coma.

375
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: That's fine, that's fine, that's GM speak one on one

376
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: right there. Last thing for the Rays. You were a

377
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 3: raised guy. You have Sterns you mentioned was a raised guy.

378
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: Freedman was a raised guy. Brandon Gomes and the Dodgers

379
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 3: was a raised pitcher. What do the Rays do because

380
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 3: there's they're just raised people. Him Bloom is a raised guy.

381
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 3: They are just spread out throughout the league.

382
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: What are the Rays do? Because every team wants to

383
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: be the race.

384
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

385
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 4: I mean, look, it's it's had a lot of really

386
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: good people, you know, And I think it starts with people.

387
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 4: That's that's the thing we've tried to do here more

388
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 4: than anything else. It's it's just have good people, whether

389
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 4: that's in the clubhouse or the front office. And I

390
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 4: think like just partnering with guys like Eric Neander and

391
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 4: him and James and Andrew and Matt Silverman and so

392
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 4: many people there that I was fortunate to partner with

393
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 4: for for many years really helped me get better. And

394
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 4: I think we were able to challenge each other and

395
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 4: and and learn from each other. We all had kind

396
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 4: of different strengths and weaknesses. And a partner with those guys,

397
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 4: you know, I consider them some of my best friends,

398
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 4: you know, And I really care about him and I

399
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 4: really enjoyed partnering with him.

400
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 2: Does make it easier to make trades when you worked

401
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 2: with them.

402
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 4: All sometimes you know, and sometimes they you know, they'll uh,

403
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 4: they know they know how you you negotiate sometimes because

404
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 4: and we know how they negotiate, and so you can

405
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 4: kind of figure out quickly, but you can get right

406
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 4: to it and the conversations are obviously really natural with

407
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 4: those types of guys, so they're they're great to work.

408
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: So it was Freedman like the godfather of all of you.

409
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 4: It's kinda I mean, I don't know. I don't don't

410
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 4: tell him that, but well we had him on the

411
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 4: other day, so clear. Yeah, he's great. Yeah, he's he's

412
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 4: kind of graduated in the clouds now and he's like

413
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 4: doing stuff for the Lakers, and I don't know, he

414
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: didn't come to media day, like I don't know, he's

415
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 4: he's a little big, don't know, he's changed a little bit. Yeah,

416
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 4: I've shared this with him. This is not Yeah, when

417
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 4: you win World Series.

418
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 5: I get it. Yeah, I get it us.

419
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 2: Plus I'm not bringing up the series with you all

420
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: last year, so we'll just skip that. He has a

421
00:17:58,560 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 2: little bit of uh.

422
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 5: Sure clout right now a little bit. Yeah, he does,

423
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 5: wait and well deserved. He's great. He's really.

424
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,479
Speaker 1: It's good one nerdy stack craction because that's what I

425
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: do here. I don't think Stearns was in the raised tree.

426
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you guys know each other, but no,

427
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: no work there, right, So yeah, my.

428
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,640

429
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 4: and he's great. I mean, he's as good as it gets.

430
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 5: Man.

431
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 4: You talk about eight plus people and like always super

432
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,920

434
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: Well Matt awesome to catch up with you. Really appreciate

435
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: the time. Thank you for joining us. Good luck this season.

436
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 5: Thank you guys, appreciate you having me.

437
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: Were season previewing the Milwaukee Brewers. They won the most

438
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: games in Major League Baseball last year. We're going to

439
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: go through a roller coaster right now, are you ready.

440
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: We're going to do additions and subtractions, but we're going

441
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: to keep reminding everyone how good this team was last year.

442
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: They are going to be missing significant pieces. So let's

443
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: look at the fact that Freddy peralta top of the

444
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: rotation out of the mix right side first, Okay, Caleb Durgan,

445
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: Durbin moving on to the Red Sox, Mears and Collins

446
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: in that Royals deal. Also Monasterio in the deal with

447
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: Durban and Rhys Hoskins ends up signing with the Guardians.

448
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: On the left side of the screen. They do add arms.

449
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 1: They like Kyle Harrison a lot. You'll hear from him

450
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: later on the show. Angel Zerpa. They like him a

451
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: lot as well. Gary Sanchez is back, Luis ran Hifo

452
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 1: to play all over the diamond. So Kratz, you're a

453
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: former Brewer. I feel like we go over this every year.

454
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: They do not get a lot of hype from projections.

455
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they get a lot of hype from media.

456
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: I don't think they get a lot of hype from odds.

457
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: Bet MGM has them at eighty four and a half wins.

458
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: Fangrafts has them at eighty two wins. You pointed something

459
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: out to me today. I think it was you. Actually, no,

460
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: it was producer Lady. The Pittsburgh Pirates are projected for

461
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: one more win than the Milwaukee Brewers in twenty twenty six.

462
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: Is that possible or a disaster prediction by Fangrafts.

463
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean anything's possible. But to me, it's about

464
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 7: did the Brewers overplay? Were they not seventy nine wins

465
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 7: good last year?

466
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 8: No?

467
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 6: They were.

468
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 7: They figured out how to win games. I don't buy

469
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 7: into the buy into the playoff teams, regular season teams,

470
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 7: all that stuff. As much as you know we talk

471
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 7: about it, I think they figure out how to win games.

472
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 7: I think they figure out how to play as much

473
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 7: as you can in this game without an ego. And

474
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 7: I don't think the Pirates are better than them because

475
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 7: of the experience that they are returning, because of the

476
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 7: fact that I don't know what Connor Griffin's gonna be

477
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 7: cam Paul Schemes. You know, are they gonna score enough

478
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 7: runs for Paul Schemes to have another cy young year?

479
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 7: Well he didn't need it last year, So does it

480
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 7: automatically give them more wins? I think the Brewers are

481
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 7: a better team than the Pirates, but I don't think

482
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 7: they are much better than what the projections are. I

483
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 7: think they could be, they could be a little bit

484
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 7: above five hundred, and I think it's a little short

485
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 7: of the playoffs where where they could be because of

486
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 7: what Freddy Peralta brought to this rotation and to the bullpen, I.

487
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 3: Think that, uh, I think they're I think they're gonna

488
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 3: be still over five hundred. I'm never going to sell

489
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 3: these Brewers short every year. This is the year they're

490
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 3: gonna fall off until then, I actually see it with

491
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 3: my own eyes. There's a reason why they traded away.

492
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 3: I mean, they trade them on the sterio and they

493
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 3: got Rinhifa, right, so they're kind of maybe up that

494
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 3: a little bit. They made some moves and every time

495
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: we question what are they doing, what are they doing? Well,

496
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 3: they have Woody Big Wou Woodriff coming back, right, they

497
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 3: get Sprot, they get Harrison. There's a reason why they

498
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: went out and traded for these guys. And they always

499
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 3: seem to be trying to stay ahead of this curve

500
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 3: of when they're gonna start in the downcycle. And they've

501
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 3: done a really good job of being ahead of this curve.

502
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 3: And remember, they lost Hater. Oh, the world is ending.

503
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: They lost Devin Williams. The world is ending. They lost

504
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: Corbn Burns. The world is ending. They lost Willia Domas.

505
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 3: The world is ending. Now it's Freddy for now, it's

506
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 3: Freddy Peralta, and it's Durvin right, the world is ending. Well,

507
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 3: the Brewers just believe in themselves. Murph has an unbelievable

508
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: way of talking to these guys and getting to believe.

509
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 2: So listen, I.

510
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: Think they're an eighty for eighty six win team the

511
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 3: way they're constructed. And do I think the Pirates are

512
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 3: better than them?

513
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 2: No? Do I like what the Pirates did? Yes?

514
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 3: But I still think until someone should approves it to me,

515
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna bet against the Brewers. I made too

516
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 3: many mistakes doing in the past.

517
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 7: I mean they got rid of Isaac Collins and Durbin,

518
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 7: two guys that were three and four in Rookie of

519
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 7: the Year voting. Would they have gotten any votes for

520
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 7: MVP or anything. No, But if you look back to

521
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 7: twenty twenty four when they picked up Joey Ortiz, Joey

522
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 7: Ortiz was I think I would have to look it up,

523
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 7: but I think he was a he was almost a

524
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 7: three war player. He had a drop off in the

525
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 7: season last year for twenty twenty five as the essentially

526
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 7: he was their shortstop and he had a drop off.

527
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 7: So it's not like everybody just has career years. So

528
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 7: for them to have a good season, not everybody has

529
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 7: to have a career year. Everybody has to contribute though,

530
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 7: And I think when I when I look at their

531
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 7: projected lineup, when I look at their projected rotation, I

532
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 7: see it being top heavy. And I think the one

533
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 7: thing that Murph talks about is do something to help

534
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 7: the team win. It's you know, people will say, oh,

535
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 7: it's a college type of thing. And Murph kind of

536
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 7: bristles at that, but it really is a mentality of

537
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 7: what are you going to do to help the team win,

538
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 7: because in pro ball it sometimes is rare because you

539
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 7: look at a Garrett Mitchell who's been injury laid, and

540
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 7: you look at a South Freelick towards the bottom of

541
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 7: their lineup. How do you get paid? Home runs? You know, RBIs,

542
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 7: stole bases, all that stuff is what ends up getting

543
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 7: you paid. They are bought into what it takes for

544
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 7: this team to win. When I say they're top heavy,

545
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 7: this lineup, Jackson Churio, Bryce Terrang, William Contrere's Christian Yelich,

546
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 7: they all have to have above average years. They all

547
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 7: they are the guys who drive their team just like

548
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 7: any other team. Their names aren't as big. Bryce Terrang,

549
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 7: I think was fourteenth in the MVP voting, and those

550
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 7: guys have to continue to produce at that level for

551
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 7: this team to be able to withstand the I don't

552
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 7: know what's gonna happen if we call up Jet Williams,

553
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 7: is Joey or Tiz a big league shortstop, like all

554
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 7: those things have to get figured out. And they do

555
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 7: have that top of the order and top of the

556
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 7: rotation pieces that are almost like like, you can't they

557
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 7: can't miss. You can't have a bad year from those guys,

558
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 7: and expect this team to get over those projected wins.

559
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 1: Also, you said RBIs get you paid. Those don't get

560
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: you paid. But you're saying, you know the personal stats

561
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: and arbitration. Sure, some of the personal stats get pushed

562
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: aside with a team like this, and Pat Murphy has

563
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: this unique ability to create more team baseball. It's not

564
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: an old school versus new school thing, at least not

565
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: in my mind. AJ. It's a selfish versus self liss thing.

566
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: I think sometimes you look at a team and you're like,

567
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: it's not all clicking together. And last year with the

568
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: Brewers offense, you were like, this isn't full of superstars,

569
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: but it's all clicking together. And then if you can

570
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: just maintain level and stay in the five hundred range,

571
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,239
Speaker 1: you get one pop where you get hot and all

572
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden you win ten in a row or

573
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: whatever they did. It was a lot and boom, you blink,

574
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: you're a ninety seven win team.

575
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think that the way murph Ron's this team,

576
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 3: we've talked about this, and he doesn't love this comparison.

577
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 3: That's why I like bringing it up to him is

578
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 3: he runs it like he was a to the college

579
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 3: coach a little bit. It's a little bit smaller ball.

580
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: It's a little bit we're gonna take the extra base,

581
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 3: we're gonna play great defense, and we're just gonna out

582
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: fundamental a lot of teams. And they can win a

583
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 3: lot of games like that, and they've proven that fact.

584
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 3: And I love that way to play because there's action,

585
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 3: there's excitement, there's pressure on the other teams, and m listen.

586
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 3: Murph just does a great job of getting everyone to

587
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 3: come together. He's a leader of men. He's funny, he's quirky,

588
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 3: he's all those things that Murph is. But at the

589
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 3: end of the day, this guy is a leader of

590
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 3: men and he knows how to push the right buttons.

591
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: And with that, I think the Brewers will be good

592
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: and I think they will be better than the Pirates.

593
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: They also have a good farm system. Pirates too too,

594
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: but Bruce have a good farm system. It was a

595
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: little bit of an issue for them like five years ago,

596
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: and they've really built something up and they continue to

597
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: get stronger on the young core department too. We'll see

598
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: how Brandon's Sprote and Jet Williams look like in the

599
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: Freddie Peralta deal. So I think the Burers are going

600
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: to be a pain. Are they going to win ninety

601
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: seven games?

602
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 5: Probably not?

603
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: But could they win eighty six? They win eighty eight?

604
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: Could they win the division? Absolutely? Could they make a

605
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: playoff spot?

606
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 2: Sure?

607
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: Could they just miss the playoffs because the Cubs got

608
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: better and some other teams in the division got better.

609
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: Maybe the Reds have a full run of a year.

610
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: Sure that could be the case too. We have one

611
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: of the newest Milwaukee Brewers, Kyle Harrison, is here. Kyle,

612
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: great to have you on the show and tell us

613
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: about the whole process here because it happened pretty late.

614
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: You're probably like, here we go getting ready Red Sox

615
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: spring training. Oh wait, I'm going to Arizona.

616
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 5: Right, No, one hundred percent.

617
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 8: You know, was out there in Fort Myers for a

618
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 8: week early and got out there early. You know, was

619
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 8: you know, trying to go out there, and yeah, I

620
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 8: couldn't make it through the physical I guess, you know. So,

621
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 8: uh No, I'm like, like we were talking about earlier,

622
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 8: just happy to be back in Arizona. Man, and no

623
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 8: man pump for this opportunity.

624
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: You have no idea how good spring training is in Florida,

625
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: though I don't.

626
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:15,479
Speaker 5: I don't, I know.

627
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 3: So you almost got to go to God's Country for

628
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 3: a while for about seven weeks, and you have no

629
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 3: idea what how much it's how cool it is to

630
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 3: have like beaches and shakes and water and trees and

631
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 3: all these cool things that they don't have in Arizona.

632
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: Now that now the travel is better in Arizona, right,

633
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 3: So I'll give you guys that, but you know, Florida's.

634
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 5: Oh trust me, I was looking forward to it would

00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 5: actually you.

636
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 3: Would have sweated when you're pitching out in Florida. We've

637
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 3: been all these crazy things. You live here, so it

638
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: obviously is better for you to be here. And I

639
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 3: try to explain this all the time, explain how important

640
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 3: those extra six to seven weeks are just at home.

641
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I didn't even realize that. It's funny

642
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 5: you say that.

643
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 8: You know, the off season just felt a little shorter

644
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 8: because you know, I've been out here, you know, for

645
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 8: spring training for what four or five spring trainings now,

646
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 8: and yeah, just you know that two months kind of

647
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 8: extra two months is huge. You know, they able to

648
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 8: sleep at home and recover, you know at home.

649
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 5: You know, it's awesome. Man. So uh, that's the biggest thing.

650
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 5: You know.

651
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 8: I'm just happy to be in a familiar place and

652
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 8: a little bit of a commute in the morning.

653
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 5: But not too bad.

654
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 7: You were already out you said, you're already out in

655
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 7: Fort Misery for a week. Correct, that's what you just said.

656
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's funny you call it that. I've heard that

657
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 5: only a couple of times.

658
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 7: Okay, well only the people that well, you were in

659
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:26,600

00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 7: Fort Myers. That's fort that's Fort Misery.

661
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: There.

00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 6: You go, take us through.

663
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 7: Take take the fans through before we get into your stuff.

664
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 7: Take the fans through what it is like. You're out there,

665
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 7: you have an apartment getting everything back out to Arizona.

666
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 7: I know you live here, but it's not like, oh cool,

667
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 7: get my glove, I'll get my cleats, and I'll just

668
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 7: stroll onto the plane.

669
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 6: Like there's more than that.

670
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 7: The team has to cover your apartment that's out in Florida.

671
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 8: Correct, one hundred percent, you know, and I'm lucky enough.

672
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 8: I know a great guy over there, Cutter Crawford, and

673
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 8: I was living out of his place, so it made

674
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 8: the transaction a little easier over there. So yeah, man,

675
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 8: but like you said it, you know, it was like

676
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 8: got the rental car all figured out out there and

677
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 8: then uh, you know, it's just a lot of moving pieces.

678
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 8: And yeah, it was was back the Arizona the next

679
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 8: day and here we go again, you know.

680
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 5: Just ready to go exactly.

681
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 8: You don't have had, you don't have a family, just

682
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 8: a girlfriend and yeah, it's very very to do everything right.

683
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 8: She takes care of a lot of it. So yeah,

684
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, you know, like you're transuming. Krats is

685
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 8: like twelve kids.

686
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 3: Yeah he got traded, he got he had to transport

687
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 3: like twelve kids back and forth. Oh yeah, so it's

688
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 3: a little bit different. What did you think when you

689
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 3: got traded? Because it's already your second time being traded.

690
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 3: It's not like you're an old old guy, right, Yeah,

691
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 3: you know, it's crazy it's twice and for some big

692
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 3: name guys, yeah.

693
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 8: For sure, in a short amount of time too, you know,

694
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 8: the two teams. But you know, for me, it's just

695
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 8: you know, after that first one. Like I've been telling

696
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 8: everyone earlier, it's like, yeah, I knew everyone in San

697
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 8: Francisco very well, and that was more of the shock,

698
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 8: you know. But you know, we didn't really get my

699
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 8: feet settled into Boston. So it's you know, once it

700
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 8: happens once, you know, Man, I'm like, you know, it's

701
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 8: baseball at the end of the day, and I'm ready

702
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 8: to just get the ball and go compete.

703
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 5: Man. That's it. That's all you got to look at it.

704
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 6: All right.

705
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 7: So you so you played in the PCL, the Pacific

706
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 7: Coast League and the IL.

707
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 6: We talked about travel before.

708
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, obviously it's the minor leagues. But were you ever

709
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 7: able to get your feet under you making that transition

710
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 7: you changed an entire new league.

711
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 6: You obviously want to be in the big leagues.

712
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 7: You know, you have the pressure of being a centerpiece

713
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 7: for the Raffie Devers trade, all of that going on.

714
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 7: How could you have made it or how could the

715
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 7: team have made that transition easier for you?

716
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's a tough question.

717
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 8: You know, I personally enjoyed my my experience over in

718
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 8: Boston because I got to try new stuff. Man, you know,

719
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 8: I got to experience experiment with the cutter. You know,

720
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 8: it didn't go go too well down to Worcester there

721
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 8: a little bit kind of throw it for a strike

722
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 8: for a little bit there, but got the experiment with

723
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 8: that a new change up as well and throwing a

724
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 8: sinker to lefties. So I think by the time there

725
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 8: was honestly cool. They just kind of learned new things,

726
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 8: take different things from different guys and the coaches that

727
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 8: were great to me. So no, man, it was just

728
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 8: taking what I could from there and then now applying

729
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 8: it to my game now and just seeing how I

730
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 8: could grow day by day.

731
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: What is the tinkering balance? Like when you're with the

732
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: new team like Boston, they probably come to you, like

733
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: you said, with some ideas. You want to try it out,

734
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: but you also want to put up numbers, you want

735
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: to perform. And then now you head to Milwaukee here

736
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: and did they have some information or some conversation with

737
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: you about anything different and how you balance that with

738
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: performance on the field.

739
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I'd say, you know, when I got here,

740
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 8: you know, it's a very very chill environment. You know,

741
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 8: they kind of let you run the show. You know,

742
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 8: hookies out there watching you every day, he's on you

743
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 8: during catch play and holding you accountable. So it's just

744
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 8: been little talks here and there, you know, worrying about

745
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 8: the arsenal stuff later as I get into games more

746
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 8: and more or and no, man, you know, it's just

747
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 8: there's still a lot of confidence in here and I've

748
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 8: I've sensed nothing but great thanks from these guys, and

749
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 8: I'm just excited to get better each and every day here.

750
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 5: Man. It's it's a great organization and I'm just happy

751
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 5: to be here.

752
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: What do you think they do different here?

753
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 8: Sorry, I don't know, man, It's it's hard to say,

754
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 8: you know, just because I've only been here for what

755
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 8: a week and a half, so, but I'd say just

756
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 8: the attention, the detail to everything, you know, catch play.

757
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 8: You know, I was telling Hooky, you know, I'm like,

758
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 8: I haven't worked this hard and catch play in my

759
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 8: you know, five years I've been a pro ball and

760
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 8: it's just little stuff, you know, an external cue.

761
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 2: To play catch?

762
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 5: Do you know they answer that question play catch.

763
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 2: Because you're not supposed to play.

764
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 5: You're supposed to have a catch.

765
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, it's called catch play.

766
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 8: It's a catch play, you know, it's it's uh, you know,

767
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 8: it translates to the mound, you know, and that's what

768
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,719
Speaker 8: you know. It's crazy that's taken me this long. Toy

769
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 8: kind of realize that. But you gotta treat every day,

770
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 8: you know, like you're just working hard man, you know,

771
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 8: that's it. And you know they're looking at my external hughes,

772
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 8: you know, setting up cones, you know, in front of

773
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 8: a home plate to just keep me in line, you know,

774
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 8: keep everything in there. So just a lot of different

775
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 8: stuff that I'm trying. And it's cool, man, it's cool experiment.

776
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 8: And yeah, these guys are great.

777
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 7: You haven't been there very long. What's the one thing

778
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 7: you constantly keep hearing? You talked about catch play, talked

779
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 7: about the work. What's the one thing that's a constant

780
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 7: that you're hearing throughout from Matt Arnold when he traded

781
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 7: for you to Murph, to Hooky, the pitching coach, all

782
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 7: that stuff.

783
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that we don't I mean honestly that we don't care.

784
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 6: You know.

785
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 5: We just we want to work hard.

786
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 8: And you know, standings, projections, all that stuff. You know,

787
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 8: we don't care about that stuff, you know, And that's

788
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 8: something I've I've felt and it's just about the work

789
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 8: each and every day. And we work hard here man,

790
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 8: and it's it's cool to see.

791
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 2: Does Murph I have a nickname for you yet?

792
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 5: Not yet?

793
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,879
Speaker 2: You know, does he know your name? Does he call

794
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 2: you by the proper name?

795
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 5: He does?

796
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 3: He does every everybody he calls by something, right, So

797
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 3: you haven't gotten to that.

798
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 5: I haven't gotten to that point yet.

799
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 8: You know. I got him a little cup of ice

800
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 8: the other day. You know, I was, I was shaking

801
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 8: a little bit. It was down in the dugout. He

802
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 8: was asking me. You know, hey, you've been in big

803
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 8: leagues before, right, you could fill me up so someone

804
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 8: can find some ice. And I'm over there over thinking

805
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 8: the world of it. So I think he's gonna have

806
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 8: some fun with me for sure.

807
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 2: Okay, did you grow up a Giants fan because you

808
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 2: grew up in the Bay Area?

809
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 5: Yeah?

810
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 8: No, I wasn't really a Giants my fan, because you know,

811
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 8: we just go to the A's games right there, you know,

812
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 8: little little tailgate play catch. You know, it's a couple

813
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 8: of glizzies. I mean, walk down behind home plate, get

814
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:38,959
Speaker 8: the bleacher. Growing up going to those games.

815
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 3: So then it didn't break your heart that much when

816
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 3: you got traded from the Giants.

817
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 5: Not too bad, you know, just the relationships.

818
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, but.

819
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 5: No man, no man. Obviously that was a team that

820
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 5: drafted me.

821
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 8: Being home was awesome, but no man, this, as you know,

822
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 8: baseball season consumes you anyway, So it's it's baseball.

823
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 5: Man.

824
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 3: Well, since your as I was thinking of, you're a

825
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 3: Giants fan, your family could have talked about the legend

826
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 3: that was me as of San Francisco Giants. They did

827
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: retire my jersey.

828
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 5: Ye, my dad was a Giants fan. I'll give you that.

829
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, sure, so just make sure you're reminded them

830
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 3: that you met a guy who's retired by the Giants.

831
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 2: I will let him hold out and then you.

832
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: What real quick while we're on that, because you know,

833
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: we don't talk to a ton of players and necessarily

834
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: grew up in the area and we're going to A's games.

835
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 5: Did you did it.

836
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: Break your heart when you saw that the team left

837
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,720
Speaker 1: and they're in Sacramento now, but obviously they're going to Vegas.

838
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 1: I don't think oh.

839
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, minor leagues. I mean last year to Sacramento.

840
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 8: So yeah, man, you know, just yeah, I definitely playing

841
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 8: that last game there with the Giants.

842
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 5: I didn't pitch in it, but I was sitting.

843
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 8: That was my first time playing a game there in

844
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 8: the dugout and just standing up in that dugout, I

845
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 8: was like looking up at the you know, second deck.

846
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 5: It was only a second deck.

847
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 8: I was used to seeing third decks, and I'm like, yeah,

848
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,320
Speaker 8: I'm going to miss this place, man, just this is

849
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 8: where you know, I grew up going to games. My

850
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 8: brother was the biggest Coco Crisp fan. So yeah, man,

851
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,719

852
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 8: sure gonna miss it.

853
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 3: Then when you went to the Red Sox, didn't Coco

Speaker 2: Shields right yeah, yeah with the race.

861
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:13,879

865
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, my brother definitely was probably high.

866
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. You grew up it.

867
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,120

868
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 8: I didn't play football there yeah.

869
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, what was it like going to

870
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 2: a football school.

871
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 8: It was, uh, you know, it was good, you know,

872
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 8: but baseball wasn't far behind. That's what I didn't even

873
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 8: like four hundred games in a row. It was like

874
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 8: a documentary on Dayla style football. Yep, when the game

875
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 8: stands tall and the movie that came out what crap

876
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 8: like twenty thirteen, you know, something like that.

877
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 5: So that's some history there.

878
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 8: And definitely wanted to have a summer, want to have

879
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 8: a future in baseball, I felt like. So I had to,

880
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 8: you know, unfortunately not play football there, but couldn't run

881
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 8: the vier anyway.

882
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 2: So if you were a quarterback, would you have been

883
00:37:58,960 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 2: like a dropback?

884
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 7: Yeah?

885
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,959
Speaker 8: You know, I like to think I had an armed

886
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 8: but you know we ran them veer, so you know,

887
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 8: we just I wasn't fast enough.

888
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 5: Man.

889
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 2: You can do all the fakes and stuff.

890
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 8: Well, that wasn't my game, you know. It was more

891
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 8: of the drop back a little quick. We left the

892
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 8: quarterbacks look weird.

893
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 2: When do you throw in a game? Here?

894
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 5: I want to say next at the end of this week.

898
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 5: I think.

899
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: Are you excited?

900
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 5: I am? I am?

901
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 8: I am a good opportunity here, and just the guys

902
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 8: are great. You know, you know how many pitchers you

903
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 8: use in the season somewhere of stressing, you know, we're

904
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 8: using a lot of guys. So yeah, man, it takes

905
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 8: a village to you know, get to the postseason.

906
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: When you face the Giants. Well, I guess you played

907
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 3: the Red Sox too. Will there be a little more

908
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 3: adrenale for which one? Maybe for the Giants or the

909
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 3: Red Sox.

910
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 5: I don't know.

911
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 8: I don't know personally, you know, I just think I

912
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 8: think there's gonna be adrenaline every time I go out there, man,

913
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 8: I think.

914
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 3: But you know, there'll be a little there'll be a

915
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 3: little more spike for probably for the Giants because they

916
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 3: drafted you in trade first, right, you were rolling your

917
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 3: retsy for a short time.

918
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I have no bad feelings, but you know,

919
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 8: you know it as well as a player. You know,

920
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 8: it's just you want to go and improve yourself any time,

921
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 8: you know, show them what they're missing to say it, right,

922
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 8: you know?

923
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,919

928
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,400

Speaker 1: the Braves and Blue Jays at plus one oh five,

933
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: the Cubs at plus one fifteen crafts. Last year, there

934
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: were eight teams that one ninety are more games? Which

935
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: one is your favorite from this list.

936
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 7: Because of the money and because of the team less

937
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 7: things going on around them. The Mariners, I think the

938
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 7: Mariners in that division, they did it last year. I

939
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 7: think they learned this is what it takes for us

940
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,439
Speaker 7: to make it to the playoffs. They seem like they're

941
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 7: in Oregon that's not afraid to make moves. Obviously signing

942
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 7: Nailor and making the two acquisitions, the two big acquisitions.

943
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 7: It's a trade deadline last year. So I'm gonna go Mariners,

944
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 7: because that's who I got coming out of the the

945
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 7: American League West Okay, And they're all close here.

946
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: The ones that we're showing between one twenty five minus

947
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 1: won twenty five and plus one fifteen. AJ's their team

948
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: on the board here you feel really good about for

949
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: ninety plus wins.

950
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 3: Well, the Mariners I picked them to win the AL

951
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 3: and the blue Jays. The blue Jays are plus money.

952
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 3: I mean, they won ninety four last year and everyone

953
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 3: feels like they got better. So I think the blue

954
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 3: Jays are another one that should should be up there.

955
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 3: The Cubs, the division got has gotten better, so that's

956
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 3: the one thing I worry about. With the Cubs and

957
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 3: the Phillies, I think will probably figure out a way

958
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 3: to win ninety games. It's actually surprised to be the

959
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 3: Yankees and the Mets or the two that have the

960
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 3: highest odds. Maybe that's just because of where they're located

961
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 3: in a little East Coast bias, but I think the

962
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 3: Mariners and the Blue Jays and me are the two

963
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 3: on this list that make the most sense.

964
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Yankees and Mets being the same as kind

965
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: of wild too. I think the Mets, ceiling wise is

966
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,399
Speaker 1: just as good as the Yankees, but I think the

967
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 1: floor is much lower. I think the Yankees floor is

968
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,359
Speaker 1: much higher than what the Mets have just based on

969
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: so much roster turnover. But the projections really like the Mets.

970
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 5: Clearly.

971
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,000
