00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: So I have to ask San Diego native, as we mentioned,

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: went to Poway University of San Diego, what was it

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: like for you pulling on the Potter's uniform for the

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: first time. You know, we're in that uniform of your

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: hometown team.

13
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was special. I was really excited for the

14
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: moment I got to do that, And you know, the

15
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: off season whole process took a while, and but at

16
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: the end we got things done. Really happy with coming

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 2: to the Padres and the opportunity they had presented with

18
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: me and a chance to join a competitive team. So

19
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: to put that jersey on for the first time is

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: come true.

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: Growing up, how often were you going to Padres games?

22
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: What was your fandom like.

23
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: All the time? Yeah? I remember my dad and I

24
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: going to Qualcombe Stadium to watch the Padres. Then my

25
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: dad and mom I think at auction won like a

26
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: behind the scenes pass, so we actually got like a

27
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: tour from Bruce Bochie at Qualcom Stadium. He was like

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: flipping to me in the cage. I remember that, and

29
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: then we went through the clubhouse and out onto the

30
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: field for BP. So I remember early days of Qualcom.

31
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: I remember the very first game of Peco Park I

32
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: was there, which was actually wasn't the Padres, it was

33
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: San Diego State. So yeah, I was Padres fan through

34
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: and through growing up. Who was your favorite player? Oh? Man,

35
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: I have a bunch of them, right, like Trevor Hoffman,

36
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: Tony Gwynn, I really like Steve Finley. Let me think

37
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: Phil Nevin, can Cominettie Yeah, Clil Green.

38
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, not closed and favorite? You know obviously once

39
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: you you know you've got to live out every kid's

40
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: dream in a lot of ways. You're a fan, you

41
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: love going to the games, and then you actually had

42
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: the talent to you know, become a professional player yourself,

43
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: you know, going through at Powaway and then USD. When

44
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: did it kind of hit you like you know this,

45
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: you know this dream is gonna come true?

46
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: For me as far as being a professional player, you mean, yeah, yeah,

47
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: I think maybe like a little bit naive in high

48
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: school and maybe I thought it was a little better

49
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: than I was. Didn't get drafted out of high school,

50
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: but obviously I knew I had the opportunity to go

51
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: to University San Diego, and so I landed at University

52
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: San Diego with Rich Hill Jay Johnson, two great names

53
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 2: in the college baseball world. Grew as a player, grew

54
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: as a person there, and it was really like after

55
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: my sophomore year, went out to the Cape and that's

56
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: really where I got like a lot of traction. Right

57
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: scouts were approaching me, talking to me, saying they want

58
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: to set up, you know, meetings of that sort of stuff.

59
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,519
Speaker 2: So I think it was really in the Cape where

60
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: I the whole dream became more of a reality or

61
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: more insights. Yeah.

62
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And you know, got drafted supplemental first round pick

63
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: of the Pirates Major Way, A couple of different clubs,

64
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 1: got traded a few times, but eventually Major Major League

65
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: gave you of all places in Peco Park for the

66
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: Giants playing left field.

67
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: What was that experience like, Yeah, when people ask me,

68
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: it's like things happened for a reason. Right Like I

69
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: got real fied by the Cincinnati Reds in camp. They

70
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: had made a couple of trades for outfielders quig in

71
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: Matt Camp and wasn't didn't see like a way to

72
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: make their roster, And it came down to the crunch

73
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: time and the last week I actually got traded to

74
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: the Giants, and this is you know, I've seen the

75
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: whole schedule for the Reds and whatever, and it so

76
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: happened that I made the team with the Giants, and

77
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: they said we're gonna get on the plane, and Bruce

78
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: Bochie of all people, was able to tell me that

79
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 2: I was going to make my debut at Peco Park.

80
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: So the manager that I grew up watching at Qualcom

81
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: Stadium and took a tour with, was going to be

82
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: my manager for my debut in San Diego of all places.

83
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: Just full circle moment. So to be able to make

84
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: my debut in front of my family and my friends

85
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: at the ballpark that I grew up going to was

86
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: really special. And then too, now sign with the Padres

87
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 2: and be going there for opening days is going to

88
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: be really special to It's It's just everything happens for

89
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: a reason. I truly believe that.

90
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, So take me through this offseason. You mentioned, you

91
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: know it took a little bit, you signed a little

92
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: bit later. What was the process like in terms of

93
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: other teams you were negotiating with. How did it all

94
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: play out for you to end up with the Padres.

95
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, at the beginning of a lot of teams called

96
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: with interest, and then it just went in waves like there.

97
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: The talks would get going and a peace would fall

98
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: as far as a free agent would sign, and then

99
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: stuff would percolate and then it would kind of dissipate.

100
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: So it was really like about riding the wave of

101
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: But my agent, John Boggs, did a great job and

102
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: he kept me in tune and every conversation that he

103
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 2: had with the team I would know about. So it

104
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: was constant conversation. The Padres had shown interest from the beginning,

105
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: so we were talking throughout the off season. But I

106
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 2: guess the whole process of developing an offer took longer

107
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: than we expected or we thought, and that kind of

108
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 2: happened with all the teams that were involved. As we

109
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 2: got towards the finish line closer to spring training, we

110
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: were presented with a couple offers, final offers, and so

111
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: talking with my family, talking with Boggsy about opportunities, we

112
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: really tried to keep the bias out of it. Obviously,

113
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: like I'm a San Diego kid playing from my hometown team.

114
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: I knew was a dream for me my whole life.

115
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 2: But really at this point in my career, we wanted

116
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: to pick the best opportunity for me to get at bats,

117
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 2: to to help a team to to compete. So when

118
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: we were making our final decision, we truly felt like

119
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 2: this was the place we tried. We truly felt like

120
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: this was the best opportunity for me as a player.

121
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: They could help me develop and continue to put together

122
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: consistent season and to play for a competitive team that was,

123
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: you know, a pitch was away from getting to the

124
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: World Series. Means a lot to me. I've you know,

125
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: want to play for a competitive team and I get

126
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: that here and then the final piece of that is

127
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: coming home and being able to put on the Padres

128
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: jersey is uh special and it really really did it

129
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: for me.

130
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: What other teams did you have? Offers from a couple

131
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: of other teams, like right, like, I'm uh, it's that

132
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: was in the past, right, Like, I'm focused on the

133
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: Padres and I'm really excited to be with the Padres.

134
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, you know coming from you know, you're

135
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: with Colorado, You're with Pittsburgh, you were watching the Podas

136
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: rise kind of from afar. What was your perception of

137
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: the club just seeing them go from look, as we

138
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: know last decade was not very successful to then you know,

139
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: playing against them and seeing the star Laydon team that

140
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: they'd built up.

141
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, ever since I've been playing them, which has

142
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: been the last three four years, they've been a really

143
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: good team. Yeah, And every time my team has come

144
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: into Pecho Park, the energy and the atmosphere is electric.

145
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: I think just go back to like being really excited

146
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: to play at Peco Park and go home and see

147
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: my family and friends, and then just get into game

148
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: time and be like, man, this is exhausting playing these guys.

149
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: Like the energy every pitch right like they're on you.

150
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: They put pressure on you. So it's kind of like

151
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: a I'm really happy to be here, I'll say that,

152
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: but I know that the energy in the stadium is electric.

153
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: The team is unbelievable. Like in the clubhouse, in their's

154
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: bunch of superstars, and that's incredible to be a part

155
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: of and to get to know these guys. But it's

156
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: a great group of guys, extreme talent. They love to

157
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 2: have a great time off the field, and they love

158
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: to hang out in the clubhouse and have a good

159
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 2: time and laugh. But as I'm seeing these first two

160
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: weeks of spring training, it's it's a serious camp. They

161
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: take the drills seriously. We're working as a team. Communication

162
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: is extremely important on the field, you know. The Big

163
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: Talker camp is like the first three seconds after a

164
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: pitch is all about communication, checking in. So it's really

165
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: impressive to watch these guys work and I'm just enjoying

166
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: learning from them.

167
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Gully. We're joined now by Heath Bell. Heath obviously, Connor,

168
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: you grew up watching Heath. I want to ask, what

169
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,479
Speaker 1: are your memories of watching Heath Bell come in and close.

170
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: Out games, run in from the bullpen.

171
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: Well, I just ran in and got up, So that's

172
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: why I'm making my night. That an't appearance.

173
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I remember Heath running in from the bullpen.

174
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: Remember the All Star Game was it Arizona? Where you

175
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: did a slide in the infield dirt?

176
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? Talk to sound of all about that. It was fun,

177
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 3: fun times.

178
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was awesome.

179
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: Connor obviously mentioned, you know, coming into the new camp

180
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: getting to know these guys, what has been sort of

181
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: the relationship building? Like are you guys called Team Dinners

182
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: playing golf? You know, how how's that been? You know,

183
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: gain to know a new new group of guys.

184
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, not just yet right Like in camp, everyone's trying

185
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: to get sorted. I was focused on getting my family

186
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: moved into our place and everyone situated. But the conversation

187
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 2: when we're off the field in the clubhouse is being great.

188
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 2: You know, you get to know a lot of guys

189
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: by eating lunch, right, eating lunch, talking to guys, getting

190
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: to know them, family, they have, where they're from. So

191
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: really enjoying that part of it, and I look forward

192
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: to the other stuff that you mentioned.

193
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: So Connor, I got a question for you. Yeah, how

194
00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: old are your kids?

195
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: I have a two year old daughter?

196
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: Two year old? Okay, yeah, that's that's not that it's

197
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: fun I have. I got two girls and two boys.

198
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: But there's a go kart track I think is still nearby.

199
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 3: I wasn't allowed to go after they found out, but

200
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: I secretly still still kept going, Yeah, that's it. There's

201
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 3: good times in Peoria. You know, you just find them

202
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: and you got to keep it low key, and if

203
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: you can bring some of your teammates makes it even better.

204
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 3: So you know, I would say, hit that go kart

205
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: track up a little bit.

206
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think my daughter might not hit the height requirement,

207
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: but maybe take some of my teammates for sure, that'd

208
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 2: be fun.

209
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 3: Hey, maybe you're and your wife get a babysitter.

210
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

211
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 3: I took my wife once. She said she hated it,

212
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: but I took it.

213
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: So you really enjoyed go karting.

214
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: I enjoy having fun, and you know, I try to

215
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 3: do a lot of things. I would find mint your

216
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 3: golf places and just stop and play. And you know,

217
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 3: I love the game of baseball, where if I had

218
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 3: nothing to do, like on an off day and I

219
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: saw a little league guys go on and playing, I

220
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: would go and watch them and then just laugh and

221
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 3: hear how parents would yell and scream and coaches this

222
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 3: and that, and just being like, man, they're just out

223
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: there having fun. So you know, I'm predicting you to

224
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 3: come to San Diego and do really well and kind

225
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: of get your career jumped off and started kind of

226
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 3: like mine was. Where you're kind of the hometown, you're happy,

227
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 3: you're comfortable, and just go kick some butt. That's kind

228
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 3: of my prediction this year. So I'm rooting for you.

229
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. That means a lot. Heath.

230
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Connor, you talk about, you know, coming

231
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: into San Diego, what were some of the conversations you

232
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: have at the club about the role they see you

233
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: filling in terms of positions, Like, what do they talk

234
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: to you about the role they see you filling this year?

235
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think someone that can compliment this lineup the

236
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: opportunity as far as that bats could come in multiple positions,

237
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: right like first base, outfield, And that's something that I've

238
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: done my whole career. I've bounced around any to inning, outfield, infield,

239
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: and then all so like game to games. So that's

240
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: something that I'm prepared to do. I get myself right

241
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: in the off season to do that. So you know, really,

242
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: wherever they asked me, wherever Silty asked me to be

243
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: a part of the team and help them win a

244
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 2: ball game that night, and I'm happy to do it.

245
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: That's awesome. So, like I said, I predict that you're

246
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 3: going to be a huge part of this team. And

247
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: if it was up to you, where would you want

248
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 3: to What would you your position be? Would you want

249
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: to be that utility guy that plays every day, you know,

250
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: in different positions, or would you like to be the

251
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: outfield or sit a fly the left field position or

252
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 3: the first base position. Do you want to like cause, like,

253
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 3: eventually I wanted to when I came over here, I

254
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: wanted to play, and where the Mets wasn't led me

255
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 3: play all the time, so I wanted to play, But

256
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: secretly I wanted to be a setup closer. And you know,

257
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: I knew we had Trevor Hoffman, so I wasn't going

258
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: to take his job. But I was like, man, if

259
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 3: he retires one day, probably like ten years from now,

260
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 3: I can go from That would be so cool. And

261
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 3: it ended up happening that way somewhat to Milwaukee a

262
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 3: couple of years later. But secretly, where do you want

263
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 3: to be? Do you want to be the first basement

264
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: of the Padres, the left field of the Padres, or

265
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 3: that utility guy that just plays every day but I'm

266
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: in a new position every day.

267
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a great question. I mean, I

268
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: think as an athlete, and you would know heath like competitor,

269
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: we all want to be on the field. We all

270
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 2: want to you know, contribute to the team that every night.

271
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: And as I've played in the big leagues, I've owned

272
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: that utility role, right like I've I've owned bouncing around

273
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 2: to different positions and contributing that way. So I see

274
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 2: myself as that, right, like a guy that can bounce

275
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 2: around to different positions, different corners, and whether it's you know,

276
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 2: taking guys days off their feet where they're going to

277
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 2: d H and filling in there, but contributing. And I

278
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: do want to be on the field every night in

279
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 2: some capacity, whether it's off the bench, it's just I

280
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: do see myself as that utility guy and a guy

281
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: that can help in many different ways.

282
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 3: Do you remember Joe m who's that mick Ewing. It's

283
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 3: kind of the Mets back in the day. I did not,

284
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 3: he was the guy he pretty much played every he

285
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 3: played six times a week, but.

286
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: He was in the same position, that's right exactly.

287
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 3: That was before the DH. So yeah, so you know.

288
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 2: That that's a great way to get at bats, that's

289
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: a great way to impact the game every night. Like

290
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: you know, there are guys that play a specific position,

291
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: and I think the game is going towards guys that

292
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: are able to bounce around and help clubs in that way.

293
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: That's so Connor. I know you have you have a

294
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: spring training and got to get to you. So we'll

295
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: get your at here in a in a quick second.

296
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: In terms of you know this club, and you've been

297
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: in a couple of different organizations. You know also colord On, Pittsburgh,

298
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: the Majors, you know, Atlanta, Dodgers, you know, Giants, all

299
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: all sorts of clubs. What sticks out to you about

300
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: you know, this club, this environment, and maybe how it

301
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: compares to some of the others you've been in.

302
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's really clear that there's one goal

303
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 2: amongst every single person in that club US, and that's

304
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 2: the winner World Series. And I think that's easy to say,

305
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: but for me personally, realistically, that might have not have

306
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: been the common goal amongst everyone. Right, Like there's probably

307
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: in past clubs there's guys that their goal is to

308
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: break the big league camp, right, break with the big

309
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: league club. There's one goal in this clubous and that's

310
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: a parent, right like with the Pirates, I experienced streaks

311
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 2: of winning and we were good at points of this season.

312
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: I think with this club and a lot of guys

313
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: coming back from last year, they were very close to

314
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: beating the Dodgers in that series and getting into the

315
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 2: World Series. And I think they're going to build off that.

316
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: And you know, Silty made it very apparent that that

317
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: was last year and they're not. That's not their identity.

318
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: We're here and we're going to create our own identity.

319
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: But we're building off of that. And so there's one goal,

320
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 2: and that's to win the World Series, which is really

321
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: special to me and really cool.

322
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I might run on the field if you guys

323
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: want World Series.

324
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: I would love that. I think everyone would love that.

325
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 3: I don't have a problem. I know a lot of cops.

326
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 3: I will say, I think you got the best hair

327
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 3: in camp so far.

328
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: Thank you.

329
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: I've got my son that I got one, my fifteen

330
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 3: year old boy, and he's got long hair too. I

331
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 3: had long hair. I met my wife and then she

332
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: told me to cut it.

333
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 2: Berever' stair is pretty good, though.

334
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 3: I'm sure you know, yeah, this is.

335
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: Sor right.

336
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: Well, Connor, we know you got a game to get

337
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: out to. Thank you so much for joining us. We

338
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I know we look forward to watching you

339
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: this season.

340
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Great talking to you guys. I appreciate it. Great

341
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: avenue man, Yeah, take care too.

342
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: All right. Once again, that was Connor Joe Heath.

343
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 2: Uh.

344
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: It's great to have a hometown guy on the club.

345
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: It really is.

346
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: And as you mentioned, he's someone that I think a

347
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: lot of people are going to be rooting for very

348
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: very passionately this year.

349
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 3: I think he's going to do really well. I mean,

350
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: he's got the attitude of, you know, hey, I'm here

351
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 3: to help out. That's what I want to help. I mean,

352
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: I don't think secretly he wants to be the left

353
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 3: fielder or the first baseman. I think secret you know,

354
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: he kind of said it, but he didn't really say

355
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 3: it because I kind of put him on the point,

356
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: and you know, he's not going to be like I

357
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 3: don't want to be left field and Heyward, get out

358
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: of here, get on my space. But I think what

359
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 3: he's saying is if you can remember a Joe mc

360
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 3: ewan back in the day, he was a utility guy.

361
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 3: There's a bunch of other utility guys out there and

362
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: they pretty much play five six days a week and

363
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 3: now at the DH, maybe even more. But when they

364
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 3: sit on the bench and it's not their day to play,

365
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 3: they're almost like they're the number one pitch hitter or

366
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 3: to come in when the pitchers used to double switch.

367
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 3: And I feel like that's the type of guy he is,

368
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: that he's the caliber that he could be the first

369
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 3: baseman the DH, play maybe a corner or play different

370
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: outfield positions, and you know, he's not gonna like, you know, hey,

371
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 3: I'm doing really well, you know, and I'll play every

372
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 3: day and if I have an off day where I go,

373
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 3: oh for four, don't worry about it. You know, I'll

374
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: sit the bench. I got no problem because I'm going

375
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 3: to get that pitch hit, you know, the next day.

376
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 3: So I'm rooting for him because he's kind of the

377
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 3: hometown guy and he's kind of he finally like come

378
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: home after you know, moving around. But I'd really like

379
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 3: to see him establish himself so he can be a

380
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 3: padre for the next three to four to five years.

381
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,679
Speaker 3: That's what I would love to see Connor do. And

382
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: I think he's got potential of doing it. And I

383
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 3: think he's got the mindset to do it. I just

384
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 3: you know, he's got to go out there and play

385
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,239
Speaker 3: and put it on the field. But that that's what

386
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 3: I would love for him to do and kind of

387
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: maybe finish his career in San Diego, you know, play

388
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 3: five years here and be that utility guy. So that's

389
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 3: what I would love to see.

390
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think everyone would love to see that for sure.

391
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: All Right, Heith, we have a lot more to talk about.

414
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: interview with Connor, Joe earlier and an as you mentioned,

415
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: hometown kid coming back to San Diego but potentially Look,

416
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: he's in his thirties. I think everyone would love to

417
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: see him be successful and finish out his career here.

418
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: You were born in Oceanside. Now, you went to high

419
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: school and junior college up in Orange County, but for

420
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: all tents and purposes, you are a San Diego County native.

421
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: What did it mean to you to come back and

422
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: play for the team you know where you were born.

423
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 3: Essentially, it was like coming home. So here's the thing

424
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 3: is I'm you know kind of you know, high school

425
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: and college was Orange County, but all my relatives who

426
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 3: lived in San Diego. My grandma was in San Diego,

427
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: so I was constantly going there. And then when I

428
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 3: got my license on me and my buddies went to

429
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 3: San Diego to Jack Murphy and to watch the Padres,

430
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 3: and you know, we went there more often than like

431
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 3: to Anaheim to the Angels and La. I had a

432
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 3: good friend that was a La Dodger fan, and I

433
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: didn't know why, but he ended He's like, we got

434
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 3: season tickets, not every day, every game, but you know,

435
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 3: it was like with a couple of their families. But

436
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 3: it was like in Nosebleed. It was like where you

437
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 3: park up top behind home plate and then you walk

438
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 3: through the steps and it's like two steps down there's

439
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 3: the seats. I'm like, they look like ants, you know,

440
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 3: but quote comm or Jack Murphy or quote Calm. You

441
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 3: could go out there early and you know, run around

442
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 3: the outfield look for home run balls during batting practice,

443
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 3: that's what I really remember. So when I got traded

444
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: from the Mets, even though I was living in Florida

445
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: at the time, it got off the plane, I just

446
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 3: felt like I was home. I just felt like, Okay,

447
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 3: now I can just I can go and be me

448
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 3: and and just blossom. And I kind of feel like

449
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 3: that's the same thing, you know, Connor's gonna do. So

450
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 3: that's it's just a gut feeling for me where I

451
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 3: think he's gonna just blossom because he's gonna be just comfortable. Yeah,

452
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 3: he wants to do it for the hometown. He wants

453
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 3: to do it for you know, friends and family, but

454
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 3: he just, you know, he's I don't think he's really

455
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 3: ever gotten a legit shot to be the guy, you know,

456
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 3: the utility guy. You know, maybe a little spurred here

457
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 3: with Pittsburgh and there, but I think in San Diego

458
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 3: that's what we're looking for him to do is be utility. Like, Hey,

459
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 3: let's be that guy. You know, you're kind of that's

460
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 3: who we're looking for you to be. And if he

461
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: can do that, maybe he can stay here for a

462
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 3: couple more years, you know, and be that guy. And

463
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 3: that's where I'm I'm really excited for Connor and his

464
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 3: family and his friends just to be here and to

465
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: have fun and you know, go out there and play

466
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 3: like and show everybody that he's a big league ballplayer,

467
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 3: like everybody, that he deserves to be, you know, one

468
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 3: of the best utility guys in the league or at

469
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 3: least out West. So where everybody would be like, wait,

470
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 3: what happened to Connor when he went to San Diego. Well,

471
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 3: he got a chance, they believed in him. It's kind

472
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 3: of the same thing that happened to me, and he

473
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 3: can blossom and you know become you know, that utility

474
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 3: star that we hope he can be.

475
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, absolutely again, I think that's the outcome everyone

476
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: would love to see, both from a you know, on

477
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: fild performance perspective as well as just a human perspective. Right, Connor,

478
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, San Diego born and raised Powi High School,

479
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, University of San Diego, grew up going to

480
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: Potter's games, and of course Connor had testicular cancer metastasized

481
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: into his lung, beat that and came back to become

482
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: a big league baseball player. So I mean this is

483
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: someone that is very very easy to root for on

484
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: multiple levels. And you know, I think too. One of

485
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: the things that'll be cool is you mentioned coming home

486
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: and this actually, this thing I've always wondered is playing

487
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: in front of all your friends and family. Does that

488
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: add more pressure to you or is it more relaxing.

489
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: It seems for you with more relaxing. And I think

490
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: it's just more exciting, that's all it is. It's just

491
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: more exciting.

492
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 3: You know. It's it's irritating when they ask for tickets,

493
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 3: but it's more exciting because like you know, you know, guys,

494
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 3: if you're listening family members to Connor and friends, Connor's

495
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: got to pay for those tickets. They're not free. So

496
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 3: you know, don't hit them up too much. You know,

497
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 3: hit them up like one time or you know, two times,

498
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: but don't hit him up like every weekend or whatnot.

499
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 3: And don't get offended if he says no. But I

500
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 3: think it's just it's it's exciting. It's fun when he's

501
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 3: gonna go out and get a hit, or he's gonna

502
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 3: hit a home run, or he's gonna hit a double

503
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 3: or help the team win. Guys are gonna just be

504
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 3: you know, his phone's gonna be blowing up about like, dude,

505
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 3: so awesome, watch any of this and that, and it's

506
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: just gonna bring a smile to your face. Or like

507
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 3: he's gonna have people call him or shoot him at

508
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 3: text now, I guess leave messages and be like hey,

509
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: I remember when you did this at Powway. We're in college,

510
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 3: you're doing it here, or I remember you know, your

511
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 3: high school days. I'm so awesome. It's so so awesome

512
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 3: to watch you play all the time this and that. Man,

513
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 3: you're such a great guy, and it just brings a

514
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 3: sense of smile and happiness to you that you know,

515
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 3: you're just you know, you're putting smiles on everybody's face

516
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 3: and you you're doing it what you told people in

517
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 3: high school, you told people in college what you were

518
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 3: going to do, and now you're doing it in front

519
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 3: of them, and I think it's just a it's a

520
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 3: good time. It's a it's it's kind of like, you know,

521
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 3: you're kind of probably you're kind of like, yeah, I'm

522
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 3: kind of the guy, but I'm still me. You know,

523
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 3: I'm not you know, they may treat you a little different,

524
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 3: but you're still you, and you know you probably he'll

525
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 3: probably tell family members and friends. Hey, dude, I'm still Connor,

526
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 3: still the regular guy that you know. You know, I'm

527
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 3: just playing for the hometown team. So yeah, I think

528
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 3: he's going to do really well. I really do.

529
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

530
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, Again, it's someone that the signing. Again, it

531
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: made sense once they decided that they were going to

532
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: go with more of the platoon, low cost signings. You know,

533
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: at least in left field, Jason Hayward and then Connor.

534
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: Joe and Connor's had some success against left handed pitching.

535
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: And again that posistical versatility, that ability to play first, third, left, right,

536
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, the four corners, so to speak. He even

537
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: caught back in the day. I wouldn't be surprised to see.

538
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: You know, he's the emergency catcher. You know, remember when

539
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: Phil Nevin was the emergency catcher in like two thousand

540
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: and six or seven.

541
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 3: I remember him donning the gear and it was, oh, yeah,

542
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 3: maybe maybe Connor could play every position in one.

543
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: Game college style.

544
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, just play every position one game, let's see it.

545
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: I think he's the only one of the only guys

546
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 3: that could probably do it.

547
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

548
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: He certainly bounced around a lot in his career in

549
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: terms of you know, you asked him where you want

550
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: to see him play, you know that utility spot. Where

551
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: do you see him fitting in most? Because I think

552
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: for me it is more that again, he's the right

553
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: handed bat playing left field and probably first base when

554
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: Hayward or Arrise you know, need a day offer, the

555
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: matchup is his best. I can see that left field

556
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: first base combination where he most likely is going to be.

557
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 3: I personally see him as being the left fielder and

558
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 3: then Hayward getting hot on the DH and then they'll

559
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: portune a little bit. But I think Connor's going to

560
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 3: be in the outfit a little bit more, and then

561
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 3: when he doesn't get hot, maybe they'll put him at

562
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 3: first a little bit and hit off the bench. That's

563
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 3: what I think. I think he's going to win the

564
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 3: left field's job just because Hayward, I think, is going

565
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: to be a little bit more DH ish, just because

566
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 3: to keep him a little bit more healthy than jogging

567
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 3: out there, even though he's a great defensive player. And

568
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 3: I think he'll be out there and he's gonna want

569
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 3: to play, but the game has kind of changed a

570
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: little bit, and Heyward's, you know, a veteran and he's

571
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 3: a smart guy where he's gonna be like, you know

572
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 3: what if I can just hit and help the team

573
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 3: run the bases and I don't have to go out there,

574
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 3: and you know, it saves my legs to be, you know,

575
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: have a little bit more power or you know, stretching

576
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 3: out that double, you know, the single into a double

577
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 3: or whatnot. I could. That's where I kind of see

578
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 3: him just because he's a little bit more, you know, younger,

579
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: and I don't want to say spunkier, but out of

580
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 3: the word I'm going with. You know, Heyward, You're awesome.

581
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 3: You know, I pitched against you. I was always feared against.

582
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: I was scared to pitch against you because you were

583
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: really good. But we all get older, man, we all

584
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 3: we get a wiser, but we get older, so we

585
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: just we slow down a little bit. But that's where

586
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 3: I kind of see a they them put tuning a

587
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 3: little bit, but Hayward to be the outfield slash DH,

588
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 3: but I see him to be a little bit more DH,

589
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 3: and Connor to be a little bit more of the

590
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 3: outfield and then you never know, you may play right

591
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 3: field tatist needs a break or whatnot, and then maybe

592
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 3: first base just to move him over a little bit.

593
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, you never know what the padres because I mean, gosh,

594
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 3: first base, second base, outfield, third, you never know where

595
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 3: somebody's going to be every day. So you know, I

596
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 3: think for him, he just wants to be in the lineup,

597
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 3: you know, five six times a week, and then he'd

598
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:29,959
Speaker 3: be perfectly fine with that.

599
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think what's you know, encouraging too, is

600
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, last year in Pittsburgh wasn't wasn't his best year,

601
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: but the year before he had some success. And it's

602
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: important that his success wasn't just when he was a

603
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: member of the Rockies, you know, playing in course field.

604
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: We saw how some success in Pittsburgh.

605
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,239
Speaker 1: And I think what a successful year for Connor Joe

606
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: would look like this year is similar to what those

607
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 1: numbers were two years ago. You know about two fifty

608
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: seven to fifty ops, you know, eleven homers, forty plus

609
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: RBIs and you know about four hundred AB's. I mean

610
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: something like that. I think if Connor Joe goes out

611
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: and hits again called two fifty, twelve to fifteen homers,

612
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: drives in forty to fifty runs, getting four to fifty

613
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: at bats, that's a really good season for him, and

614
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: that that's where he will make a huge impact for

615
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: the Potters because they don't need him to be, you know,

616
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: a superstar playing every day. They just need him to

617
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: fill in and be productive in his opportunities.

618
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 3: No, I definitely see him as a two fifty to

619
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: two seventy hitter, hitting about ten home runs, you know,

620
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 3: maybe forty to sixty RBIs, maybe stealing a few bags,

621
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: playing good defense, not making many airs or any airs really,

622
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: and just being that guy, you know, coming off the bench,

623
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 3: being that left fielder so there's left fields, not a hold.

624
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 3: But we don't need him to hit three hundred. We

625
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 3: don't need him to hit thirty home runs. We just

626
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 3: need him to go out and be the guy he

627
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 3: knows he can be. And I really think that's anywhere

628
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 3: from two fifty to two seventy, you know, bad average,

629
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 3: hitting around ten home runs, maybe fifteen tops or you know,

630
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: seven or eight home runs, and you know, driving in

631
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 3: forty to fifty sixty RBIs. I think that would be

632
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 3: a stellar job for him.

633
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

634
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 3: I see him the same exact way. You know, I

635
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 3: don't think they need him to be a profar, you know,

636
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 3: they don't need him to hit home runs. They don't

637
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 3: need him to do, you know, Bonify superstar, but the

638
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 3: hometown knows the best player. Like Kim wasn't the superstar

639
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 3: the last couple of years for the San Diego Padres,

640
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 3: but he was the hometown. Everybody loved him. He was

641
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 3: just to have that energy, and I think Connor's got that,

642
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 3: you know. And then with him the being the hometown

643
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 3: guy that's been around, having the hair flow and just

644
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 3: you know, the little excitement and I think that part

645
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 3: will you know stride and you know, you know, he

646
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 3: looks a little bit like you know Kim what.

647
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: You know, he's got the hair, He's got the San

648
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: Diego surfer bro hair going. So I think there's no

649
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: question he'll be a fan favorite.

650
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 3: Well it's just you know, it's like, you know, my

651
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 3: wife is Chinese and my kids look more like me

652
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 3: than like mom, and Mom is a little upset with that.

653
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 3: But uh, you know when she looked at him and

654
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: was like hey, and I don't know, I don't know

655
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 3: if Connor has any Asian in him or whatnot, but

656
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 3: she was like, yeah, another Asian guy.

657
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 2: Great.

658
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 3: You know, She's just looking at you know, their look

659
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: up and I'm like, well, you know, he's the hometown kid.

660
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 3: You went to Powi High School in San Diego, and

661
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: she goes, Oh, I didn't know that because I had

662
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 3: some boys. I had some kids go to Powi High

663
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 3: School when I lived out there. So it's I'm just

664
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 3: really excited for him. And the one thing I really

665
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 3: liked what he did say is everybody wants to win

666
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 3: the World Series. Not everybody's trying to win the job.

667
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: And I remember in twenty ten, we had a lot

668
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 3: of guys we finished the year and it was in

669
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 3: twenty ten. Oh wait, it wasn't no, it was was

670
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 3: it nine? It was nine getting to twenty ten and

671
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 3: it was September. It was the end of the year,

672
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 3: and everybody's like. The reporters came and asked the players

673
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 3: like Kyle Blanks and Will Venable, so do you think

674
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a chance to win that make the

675
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 3: team next year? And they were like, we want to

676
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 3: win next year. I don't know, I don't care about

677
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 3: what making the team. We're gonna win. I said, I

678
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 3: want to win, and that attitude took over, and you know,

679
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 3: in twenty ten, we missed it. The last game with

680
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 3: the Giants, those pesky Giants, but we almost had it

681
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 3: in the next year with really nobody's and this year

682
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 3: we have a lot of somebody. So I think last year,

683
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: with the coaching we have and the leadership that we

684
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 3: have and the players we have, we were so close.

685
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 3: If we just kind of build off of that, last

686
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 3: year is last year. But this year we build off

687
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 3: and we have the mindset that we can do it.

688
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 3: Maybe we won't get into a funk mid season and

689
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 3: then the All Star break takeoff. Maybe we'll just be

690
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 3: steady strong the whole year and just say, hey, we're

691
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 3: gonna be our team. We're gonna be the San Diego Padres,

692
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 3: and we're gonna win ball games. We're not thinking about

693
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 3: beating the Dodgers, We're not thinking about beating the Giants

694
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 3: or anybody else. We're just gonna go bet the San

695
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 3: Diego Padres and win and at the end of the

696
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 3: year we're gonna be in the playoffs. And you never

697
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 3: know what's going to happen in the playoffs. I mean,

698
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 3: in theory, yeah, you always got to go through the Dodgers,

699
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 3: just like out East, you gotta go through the Yankees.

700
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 3: But that's just the way it is.

701
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

702
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know, we're about five days into spring training now.

703
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: I have to say, watching this team at all, before

704
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: spring training got started, you and I were talking about,

705
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, right now, they probably looked like a third

706
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: place team in the NLS, just because look, the Dodgers,

707
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and the Diamondbacks are a really good team

708
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: that added Corbyn Burns. I think we both kind of

709
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: seen the Potters, as you know, an eighty six type

710
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: win team, third place, compete for a wild card spot.

711
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: As some additions have rolled in as the games have

712
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: gotten underway. Just watching this team again, you don't want

713
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: to go too crazy over anything. Spring training. Has your

714
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: assessment changed at all? Are you feeling more optimistic? Where

715
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: are you.

716
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 4: At right now?

717
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 3: I'm going to be more optimistic the more guys that

718
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 3: I talked to out there and see where their mindset,

719
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 3: because you know, if we if we're going to be

720
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 3: a team, you know, we didn't really go out and

721
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 3: get a bunch of good you know, stars or whatnot,

722
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 3: and we lost to you know, a few guys or whatnot.

723
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 3: But we didn't really lose a bunch of guys besides

724
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 3: maybe Joe Musgrove, you know of like Bonafly, Oh we

725
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 3: really got hurt. Yeah, we lost Kim, but you know

726
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 3: Kim was hurt for most of the year. We lost

727
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 3: that one hurts. But you know, Profar had an unbelievable year.

728
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 3: Nobody expected him to have a year like that. So

729
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: you know, we're we're not looking to fill that void

730
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 3: we're looking for We're not looking for Heyward to have

731
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 3: an unbelievable year or Connor to have an unbelievable year.

732
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 3: If we go out there and just if the boys

733
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 3: go out there and think, hey, we're gonna win with

734
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 3: the guys that we have because we're gonna all help

735
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 3: each other out. You know, say Connor and Heyward, they're

736
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 3: not competing against left field. They're just happy to help

737
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 3: get the team to win. You know, Connor goes out

738
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 3: and gets two hits and he wins. He plays the

739
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 3: next day and maybe his first two two bats doesn't

740
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 3: get a hit, and then Heyward gets a hit. Then

741
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 3: Connor will be like, Okay, you know, Heyward, you go

742
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 3: play tomorrow because you kind of got the hot hand.

743
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: So you're always feeding off each other instead of well, man,

744
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 3: I hit the ball hard, but you know, come on,

745
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 3: you know, I don't want to get pitched hit for,

746
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 3: you know, because secretly guys think of that stuff, and

747
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 3: because they want to play, or they're hitting the ball good,

748
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 3: but they're just hitting it right out people. But if

749
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 3: they're number one goal is to win every day and

750
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 3: they're rooting for the guys next to them, even if

751
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 3: it's the guy that's playing over them, then there's a

752
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,919
Speaker 3: team that's you can win and you can beat teams

753
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 3: that you're not supposed to beat because you're not in

754
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,720
Speaker 3: competition with your teammates. You're all trying to win because

755
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 3: you know, if Hayward goes oh for three and just

756
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 3: doesn't have that day, or they switch pitchers or whatnot,

757
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 3: and they put Connor in to face the lefty, Hayward's

758
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 3: not gonna be like, man, I could hit left he's

759
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,319
Speaker 3: you know, but he'd be like, come on, Connor, pick

760
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 3: you know, go pick me up today. You know, you

761
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 3: be that guy to get righty's. And they're all cheering

762
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 3: for each other and all rooting for each other. That

763
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 3: becomes a good team. And I'm starting to get the

764
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 3: feeling that's how they're feeling right now. But it's early

765
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: in spring, you know, they've only played what four games,

766
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 3: you know today will be five. So by the second

767
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 3: or third week, you'll kind of see are they doing that?

768
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 3: And you really see it the first the second week

769
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 3: of the season. Are they doing that? And that's when

770
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to be like really excited if I start

771
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,399
Speaker 3: seeing that, and where everybody starts rooting on each other

772
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 3: and it's not that fake heah, good job getting to hit,

773
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 3: you know, and secretly like, man, no, I could hit

774
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 3: right e's, I can hit lefties. You know this and that.

775
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's where my you know my, that's where

776
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 3: I'm looking at guys right now and kind of looking

777
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 3: at them in the dugout. How are they walking off

778
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 3: the field, How are they walking on the field? This

779
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 3: and that? You know, there's a lot more. It's like

780
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 3: baseball is a chess game. You know, there's there's a

781
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 3: game within the game, and if you're all playing the

782
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 3: same game, you're gonna win and you're gonna beat people

783
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 3: that you shouldn't be and that's how you win championships.

784
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 3: And you know, like and trust me, Connor, I'm I'm

785
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 3: going to go tackle him because I told him, I said,

786
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to jump on the field. If there's a

787
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 3: you know, I'll be it. If Padre is in the

788
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 3: World Series, I'll be in the stands somewhere, and if

789
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 3: they win, you know Chip or Gym or one of

790
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: the security guys that I know still works there, I'll

791
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,919
Speaker 3: tell them what I'm doing and I'll be where they are,

792
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 3: so I'll say you'd be the first one to tackle

793
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 3: me or whatever. But I'm going for Connor. That would

794
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 3: be great.

795
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, and hey, I'll be in the press box

796
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: like I always am.

797
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 2: So if that's you, we.

798
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 3: Can do an interview from jail. Be great because you

799
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 3: got to go to jail. And if we win the

800
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 3: World Series this year, we'll do an interview. We'll do

801
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 3: a little you know, Padre territory and you know jail.

802
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 3: My first time going to jail.

803
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: From the underground holding at Peco Park.

804
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 3: That yeah there, yeah, you me and everybody will be like,

805
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 3: what are you doing? I told you I was going

806
00:37:58,680 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 3: to do it.

807
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: So well, we hope that all happens. For a number

808
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 1: of reasons. One Potter's won the World Series would be cool,

809
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: but just for that alone, I would I've never done

810
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: a jail house interview before. I've been a reporter for

811
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: a decade. I've never done a jail house interview. So

812
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: if this is the closest I come to it.

813
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:14,879
Speaker 2: I'll take it.

814
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it won't be the first time me in hand handcuffs,

815
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 3: but yeah, definitely. There's a lot of different reasons for that.

816
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: But it's a family show.

817
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 3: Well, well, yeah, it's you know, I was I in

818
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 3: high school. I didn't hang out with the best kids,

819
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 3: and you know, I kind of cleaned my act a

820
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 3: little bit, but I never went to jail. So I

821
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 3: was in there misney Land actually once that's a different day,

822
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 3: different story, and I and I wasn't I didn't even

823
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 3: do anything. I was just in the wrong split in

824
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 3: the wrong time.

825
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 1: So wait, no, okay, so we got how did you

826
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: end up in handcuffs at Disneyland?

827
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 3: Okay, So I was at Disneyland with a friend and

828
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 3: two people, like or two or three people ran past

829
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 3: us and we were just and then we were walking

830
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 3: and we sat down. They ran past us and was like,

831
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 3: what what's going on? And cops were like Disneyland or

832
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 3: whatever was chasing them and they're like you two stay here,

833
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 3: and me and my buddy looked at each other and like,

834
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 3: are they talking? Is he talking to us? And the

835
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,959
Speaker 3: next guy followed stopped right next to us and said

836
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 3: don't move, and and the guy at the radio and said, yeah,

837
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 3: hold them. So he put us in handcuffs and handcuffs

838
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 3: us together so we couldn't go anywhere, and we're like what.

839
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 3: And then when the other guy came back, yeah, you buddy,

840
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 3: you're your buddies took off. We didn't catch them, and

841
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 3: I was like what And I kind of went ballistic

842
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 3: and here's my ida and here's my Disneyland pass. I said,

843
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 3: we're not a part of them. But it was like

844
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 3: for an hour arguing with them, and they finally let

845
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 3: us go. But apparently we just, you know, we're in

846
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 3: the wrong place the wrong time. So they it was

847
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 3: only an hour before Disnelang was closing, but they we

848
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 3: kind of agreed to leave, but they walked us out.

849
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 3: But I'm like, yeah, it was just in the wrong place,

850
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 3: the wrong time. But you know, I didn't like win off.

851
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 3: I just I was very adamant, as this is my name,

852
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 3: here's my address, here's this, like because they thought they

853
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 3: we were going to be lying to them or not

854
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 3: tell them and I was being honest and kind of

855
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 3: direct to him. It was like I answered every single

856
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 3: question super fast and probably with an attitude, but but

857
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 3: it was because it was you know, it was like

858
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 3: we literally were walking. We would go to sit down,

859
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 3: and these guys like run past us, you know, kind

860
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 3: of like hitchy and run past he's not hidden us,

861
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: but you know, kind of like get out of the

862
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: way or whatever. And we sat there and guys just

863
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 3: like stay here, and we're like what And we were tired.

864
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 3: So we were just sitting there, like and another guy

865
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 3: came over and goes, are these the two guys on

866
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 3: the radio? You know? And and they we heard yeah,

867
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 3: and you started getting mad at us, and you were,

868
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 3: you know, putting you under arrest, Like what did what?

869
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 3: What did we do? And we didn't do anything, so anyway,

870
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 3: we didn't anyway, maybe had to be there, I don't know,

871
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 3: it was it was me in high school, so good times.

872
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 3: I still like Disney Wayne still the happiest place on

873
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 3: Earth unless you're in San Diego playing a game, and

874
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 3: when against the Dodgers, then that might be the happiest

875
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 3: place on Earth.

876
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: Having been there in twenty twenty two when the Potters

877
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: beat the Dodgers. Covering that series, that was the most

878
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: ear splitting I've ever heard Peco Park. I remember when

879
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,919
Speaker 1: Josh Hayter struck out Freddy Freeman for the final out,

880
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 1: the explosion, just the crowd noise actually like pierced my

881
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 1: ear a little bit, like it hurt again. I was

882
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: there covering it, and that was one of the most

883
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: incredible nights of my professional career, just the comeback, the

884
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: way it went down. And yeah, there's no question that

885
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: when the Potters were rolling, San Diego gets behind them,

886
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: and especially with some hometown kids. You mentioned Connor Joe,

887
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: you know Tyler Wade from Marietta. Yes it's Riverside County,

888
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 1: but Marietta more or less is an extension of San Diego.

889
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: You have from Tijuana again, you know, came up to

890
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 1: Peco Park a lot. So I think that's what's cool

891
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: too about this team is you have a lot of

892
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 1: guys who you know, absously they want to win, they

893
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: have aspirations and for something, there's that extra edge, there's

894
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: there's a personal edge to it. When you're from the area,

895
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: you know what it means to you know, win in

896
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: San Diego and there's certainly you know, that element in

897
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 1: the clubhouse.

898
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 3: This year, and the Padres don't have the mystique of

899
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 3: what they used to have for years. Guys would come up,

900
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 3: get really good and then trade them. You know, like

901
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 3: what ten fifteen years ago, Tatis, everybody be waiting for

902
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 3: him to get traded, Jackson Merrow, same thing. You know,

903
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 3: they'd be waiting for those guys to get traded. You know,

904
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 3: they never have a superstar like Manny come in, you know,

905
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,800
Speaker 3: are you Darvish? Or they just have guys at the

906
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 3: end of their careers come here. So it just it's

907
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 3: a different atmosphere, a different you know culture with the

908
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 3: Padres now, and it's what the Padres, the fans and

909
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 3: San Diego's always wanted the Padres to be. It's just, uh,

910
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 3: it just you know, it gets me a little jealous

911
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 3: because I'm in. I want to play. You know, this

912
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 3: is the time that is a little tough for me

913
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 3: because I'm like, I'm old now. But I'm like, man,

914
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 3: what if I trained, could I still throw? Who knows?

915
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 3: I still think I can, but marn probably fall off.

916
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: Well, if nothing else, what we need to do is

917
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: because you You've always said this. You never got a

918
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: bubblehead and that is a crime. So I think the

919
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: Podres we need to start this now, get on the

920
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 1: bandwagon of Podres. It's to a Heath Bell bibblehead. I mean,

921
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,480
