1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of experience, but I need to

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: be able to relate to the current player and I

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: can still learn from them. So I think that's what

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: we need to do instead of saying our way, we

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: did it this way.

6
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: Now, tell me some thoughts you have.

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 3: Let's talk Rangers for a moment here. Yesterday pick up

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: a dub against the Rockies. This is a very unique story.

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 4: Does that count?

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 5: You can ask for it.

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 3: Hey, it doesn't hurt when fine, you're weak on the

12
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 3: job and you get to face maybe the worst team

13
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 3: of all time.

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 6: They're well on pace, but you still got to beat

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 6: those teams. True, they're still going to win. I mean

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 6: forty five games this year.

17
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 4: I think they get to forty five.

18
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 5: I don't know.

19
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 4: They're seven and thirty six right now. I think they

20
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 4: get to forty.

21
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 3: They're just focused on double digits. Right now, Let's get

22
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 3: to ten, and I've.

23
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 7: Got a big to forty five. If they get to

24
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,479
Speaker 7: forty five, you better start throwing down some nice plus

25
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 7: two fifties for the Rockies because they are about to

26
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 7: pay you cash if you think they're gonna get to

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 7: forty five wins, because that's a lot of wins. From

28
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 7: here on out?

29
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 5: What's forty five? What's the means?

30
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 4: They gotta win thirty eight more?

31
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: Five?

32
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 4: They gotta win thirty eight more out of like one

33
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 4: hundred and nineteen. They gotta win almost They gotta win

34
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 4: like a third of their games.

35
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,279
Speaker 3: If they lose one twenty five with sixty two minus

36
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 3: twenty five, thirty seven some thirty seven's more of the line.

37
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 4: I would say forty Do they get to forty?

38
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 5: That's a good that's a good number.

39
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 4: The White Tux won forty one last year, forty one

40
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: forty one games. Kind yeah, I wasn't ready. It's it's

41
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 4: not test. Just do they get to forty?

42
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 6: Gate?

43
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 4: When do they win forty games this year?

44
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 8: Crats you guys, you're essentially saying, I mean you weren't

45
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 8: you looking like you were either farting or thinking, And

46
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 8: you're essentially saying they're going to lose one game out

47
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 8: of every four.

48
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 7: They're gonna lose one game out every four. It might

49
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 7: be profitable to start just betting the money line on

50
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 7: the Rockies.

51
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: Yak about the numbers.

00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 5: I'll go I'll go forty.

53
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 4: They're gonna win forty, so they're gonna set the all

54
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 4: time lost record by one.

87
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 4: Okay, So I got to tell this story. And so

88
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: my wife from Brent and I we go twenty years,

89
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 4: we go back, right, Yeah, And so Brent used to

90
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: have a shirt that said I know boone and I

91
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 4: got one. I wish I still had that shirt. Was

92
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: like three sizes ago, but I wish I still had

93
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: that shirt because it was made from my cotton, like

94
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 4: the old cotton T shirts that were like you know, oh,

95
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,360

96
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 4: said I know boone. So I don't know. That's why

97
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 4: I asked them to ask the question.

98
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 5: Maybe they'll come back if the Rangers keep it like this.

99
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: Who's a lot of those shirts out there?

100
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:31,400

105
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think it's just kind of through the years,

106
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, starting with shoot, my grandpa he was Booney,

107
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: then my dad was Boonie.

108
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: Then I was Booney, then Aaron was Boonie.

109
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: Then like AJ said, they call me the Boone, and

110
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: that was Mark Macklamore, a teammate of mine, gave me

111
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: that name. Uh because Mac played with my dad and

112
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: he said, you can't be Booney because I played with

113
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: Bob Boone and that it's the real Boonie.

114
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:01,839

00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: That's what we did back then. Very cool.

162
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 5: That's incredible. All right.

163
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 4: You had to play against him in Safeco to really

164
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 4: appreciate that commercial, because nobody could hit a battle right

165
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: center and Boone would hit one and he just looked.

166
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 4: First of all, he talked trash and he's in the

167
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 4: box and he'd hit it and he just goes safeg

168
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 4: flip in and go like ten rows right, and you're.

169
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: Like, nobody can even do that.

170
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 4: How the hell are you doing this?

171
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you though.

172
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 1: Now the kid, they'll they'll get me in the cage

173
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: here messing around when we got a little lull in

174
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: the action, h Age, I just.

175
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: Don't have that spring anymore. It's just not there.

176
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 5: Well Langford does. He went APO yesterday.

177
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: So tell me about let's get into biz for a

178
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 3: few minutes here. Tell me about what happens once you

179
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: get here, Like are you meeting when on one with

180
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: players like how can I be helpful? Is there anything

181
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: that you felt we should do differently that I can

182
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: bring the table, Like, how do you solve the equation

183
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 3: to help a team that clearly wanted to make a

184
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 3: change on offense.

185
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: Well, you know it's when I got to call from Boach.

186
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: Boach and myself, I only played for them one year,

187
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: but we have a long standing relationship and I knew

188
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: the reason him and see why reached out and wanted

189
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: to make a change. We discussed it briefly, but I'm

190
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: embracing currently what hitters and how they train in the metrics,

191
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: and I'm simplifying as much as I can.

192
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: I came in.

193
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: I was a little bit quiet at the beginning. I

194
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: really got to figure out these guys individually. We're all

195
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: so different. You know, I might say one thing that

196
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: resonates with one player, and that's going to be it's

197
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: not going to resonate with another. So I'm more figuring

198
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: out personalities, what makes them tick. But when you get

199
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: down to it, it's great hitting is great hitting, and

200
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: that starts with a great approach. I said, The one

201
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: thing I want you guys to do is I want

202
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: you to start watching the game you know these iPads,

203
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: They're great. Don't get me wrong, I'm envious of the

204
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: technologies these guys have at their fingertips. I wanted all

205
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: the information you give me, but there's a time and

206
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: a place for it. So do your iPad work. Find

207
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: out where that pitch was. Now, there's a reliever coming in.

208
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: I want you on this top step and I want

209
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: you to watch this guy. I want you to talk

210
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: to players. Right, he's talk to right, he's lefties. Talk

211
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: to lefties? Would they do last time?

212
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 5: To you?

213
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: What's going on in the game. What's the scoreboard? Say?

214
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: Who's hitting behind you? Does he have success off this guy?

215
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: Or does he not have success? That's going to give

216
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: you a little intel. Are they going to come at me?

217
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: Are they going to pitch around me with a base open?

218
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: These are little things that I learned second half of

219
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: my career that were really beneficial. The basics are keep

220
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: your brain through the middle of the field. You can

221
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: never go wrong with that. And their skill set individually

222
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: is going to take over for.

223
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: Where your strengths are.

224
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm still I'm still kind of feeling them

225
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: out a little bit. But it's been nine days now.

226
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm getting to know the guys a little better. They're

227
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: comfortable with me.

228
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: Now. I've got Seth and Justin with me. Also, the

229
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: hitting guys for Texas. They've been great. And I just said,

230
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: you know, we're background players here.

231
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: We are.

232
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: It's all about the players and if we individually can

233
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: get that good thought into their mind when they get

234
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: to the batter's box, that's what it's all about. I

235
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: said something the other day. I said, if that peanut

236
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: lady in the eighteenth row can help you get a hit,

237
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: let's get her.

238
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: Down here in the dugout right now.

239
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about, getting hits, moving that Merry

240
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: go round, moving runners. The big thing is I've talked

241
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,599
Speaker 1: about every bat's not the same. I go up in

242
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: the first inning and not a situation. I'm gonna find

243
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: out what's the tone going to be here? And I

244
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: set the tone. I think first at bats are really important,

245
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: creating the narrative for what's going to happen in your

246
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: second of bat and your third. I think the first

247
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: game of a series sets the tone. What do you

248
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: do individually? It kind of makes you know a j

249
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this as a catcher, it's sometimes I

250
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 1: got to hit.

251
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 2: Off the catcher. You know, is he thinking with me?

252
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 2: Is he not thinking with me?

253
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: These are all little nuances that I think get lost

254
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: sometimes when we just want to talk about ex velocity

255
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: and spin rate. It's like, let's talk about really what

256
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: good hitters do and what they think about. So slowly

257
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: trying to get that into the into these guys. And

258
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: I also have to remember two years ago, these guys

259
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: won a World Series and it's pretty much it's a

260
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: very similar roster. So these guys know how to do it.

261
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: I want to let them know, Hey, I know you were,

262
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: I know you guys are really good. I watched you

263
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: hoist that trophy two years ago and I've got a

264
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: lot of respect for that. It's just let's find that

265
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: magic again. Because what I see up and down this

266
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: lineup in Corey's on the il right now. But these

267
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: guys can really hit, and then you put Corey Seger

268
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: in the middle, you got something. It should be a

269
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: top top offense. I think in twenty three it was

270
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: the best offensive baseball and that just doesn't go from

271
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: best to worse. So I think the next four or

272
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: five months, I'm really optimistic about it.

273
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 2: The skill is there, the abilities there. We just got

274
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: to do what we got to do.

275
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: Behind the scenes to to get it out of these guys.

276
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: But I'm impressed. I'm I'm I'm happy. The one thing

277
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: that really maybe surprised me more than anything else is

278
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: how much emotionally invested I've gotten with these guys already.

279
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like I have twelve or thirteen

280
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: kids now, you know, watching my son play in the

281
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: minor leagues, it's it's you're living and dying with every

282
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: bat with them, yet trying to not let anybody see

283
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: you sweat. And and I'm starting to feel that with

284
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: these guys. It's you do all the work, pregame and

285
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: and you know, all the grunt work, and then all

286
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden you can't get in the box with them.

287
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: But but you're living and dying with every bat, and

288
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: when they do something really good a situation, they move

289
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: a runner, they hit a sack fly. Inside, I'm I'm

290
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: trying to be cool, Aja, I'm trying to be poised,

291
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: but inside I'm just going, yes, I feel it with

292
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: them too.

293
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 7: What did exactly what did boach? And see why I

294
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 7: say exactly that they wanted you to change.

295
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: Oh, they didn't say anything. Bochie just said Boone, I

296
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: want you to be Boonie. And he knows how I

297
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: think and and my philosophy on hitting and and that

298
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: the game changes a little bit. But I think that

299
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: that battle between pitcher and hitter. I don't care how

300
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: long this game goes. It's still going to be a

301
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: cat and a mouse. It's still going to be a

302
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: catcher back there seeing what you're doing, watching your feet,

303
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: watching your body language. So Boach pretty much knows what

304
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: my philosophy is. And he's kind of giving me Carl Blanche.

305
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: There are no rules in here. It's come in and

306
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: do what you do. And uh just kind of rub

307
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: off on these guys. And and it's been a lot

308
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: of fun. These guys are you know, it's I've been

309
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: away for a while, but but and it's teaching me

310
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: you never know where you're going in life. You know,

311
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: I was on the beach with my dog. I get

312
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: a phone call. I'm I'm at Famiway Park, where I

313
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: think my last Big League game I played there, And

314
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: at that time, it was just, you know, I'm supposed

315
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: to be here for a reason, So I'm not really

316
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: questioning anything. I'm just going out and doing my job.

317
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you it's it's a lot of work. I'm

318
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: in that cage, especially on the road. It seems like

319
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: I'm in that cage for hours at a time. And

320
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, some of the guys that their

321
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: scuffle a little bit, they'll be in the cage and

322
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: they'll come back. Then they'll come back again, a little

323
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: bit of a psycho behavior. But but I can relate

324
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: because because I got like that too.

325
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: All right, I want to know, I saw you a

326
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 4: couple I saw you at the beginning of the year.

327
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 4: You were in San Diego. You're in street clothes, looking

328
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 4: all dapper, you know, the way you do it, talking

329
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 4: to your son in law, Nick, who plays for the Braves,

330
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 4: you know, talking to him about hitting and talking about this.

331
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 4: Does this give you more street cred with him now

332
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 4: that you're a big league hitting coach, Will he actually

333
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 4: listen to you?

334
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: But I think, oh, Nick, street crowd with Nick.

335
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you it, it kind of prepared me

336
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: for this because talking to these young players, talking to

337
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: my son who just retired now he's working in New

338
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: York in the Commissioner's office. But being around these young players,

339
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: I found it as much as the game is change,

340
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: it stays the same. It's just the verbage is different.

341
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: You know, Nickel, call me and Brett this is what

342
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm doing. And then I'm gonna hear a couple numbers.

343
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hear spin rates, and I'm gonna say, you

344
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: know what that is that spin rate you just mentioned.

345
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: That's a great slider in my generation. And he'll mention

346
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: another spin rate and I'll say, that's a mediocre slider.

347
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: We need to knock the crap out of it. Same

348
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: with exit velocities. You know what That exit velocity is

349
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and six. That's a bullet in our generation.

350
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: So I think, as much as the verbage as it's

351
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: still the same thing. They just they say it a

352
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: little bit differently. But I had a little idea, and

353
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: on a serious note, having Nick there and having long

354
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: conversations with him, and I listen, here's what I think

355
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: in the message out there that I try to bring.

356
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: You know, you see older players sometimes and they get

357
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: a little oh it was better when we played. We

358
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: don't like this current game. I think I think that's

359
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: a naive approach to hitting. I think as much experience

360
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: as we have as ex players who are in this game,

361
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: I've been in this game my whole life, starting with

362
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: my dad and then my career and watching my kids

363
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: grow up. I've got a lot of experience. But I

364
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: need to be able to relate to the current player

365
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: and I can still learn from them. So I think

366
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: that's what we need to do instead of saying our way,

367
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: we did it this way. Now, tell me some thoughts

368
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: you have and maybe and I've been impressed. Sometimes I'll

369
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: say I wish, I wish I thought like that when

370
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: I was playing.

371
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: That's a good thing.

372
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: But listen to the to the older generation as well,

373
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: and if you can meet somewhere in the middle, I

374
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: think that's where the magic.

375
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 2: That's where you make the magic.

376
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: And you know, it's just an ongoing thing, generation after

377
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: generation after generation, we can all learn from one another.

378
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 4: By the way, one of my prouder moments, I just

379
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 4: looked up your career war. I have one more war

380
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 4: than you, so suck it, Boon.

381
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: And you know what, I make it even worse.

382
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 4: I was the pick one pick ahead of your brother

383
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 4: in the draft, so apparently I'm just one better than

384
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 4: the Boone family.

385
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: I can't believe you're dropping war. We didn't even.

386
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 4: Know what war. I trust me.

387
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 2: And you know that I love I knew what war was.

388
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: I would have doubled your war.

389
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 4: Well you did it. You know what You're won behind me,

390
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 4: just like your brother. Okay, so I'm one.

391
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: And you're quoting.

392
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: You're quoting metrics that we didn't get paid on average.

393
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: Homer's RBIs. That's what we're out to trade on.

394
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 4: You're right, You're right, you're right, all right? So sorry,

395
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 4: two more things. One, I'm gonna ask you this because

396
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 4: I know you know him, or I know you knew him.

397
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 4: Pete Rose interer out. That's it. I just want to

398
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 4: know in a.

399
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: J you're putting me in a tough spot.

400
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: And I saw a segment, you know, when I was

401
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: when I was editing my Brett Boom podcast. I checked

402
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: out a little foul territory. I saw you talking about it.

403
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: I said, I hope he doesn't ask me about this.

404
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: Pete played with my father in Philadelphia and won a

405
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: World series with him. I've spent many a night sleeping

406
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: over at Pete Rose, Pete Rose's.

407
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: House and growing up, I had a lot of favorites.

408
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 2: You know.

409
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: It was who's going to spend time with me today?

410
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 1: Is gonna be like Schmidt Carlton when my dad went

411
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: to the Angels? Is am I going to hang out

412
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: with Reggie today?

413
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: I had?

414
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: I had an unbelievable childhood, very blessed. And I never

415
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: had a favorite player. They'd asked me who's my favorite player?

416
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: I don't have one. I love them all. I just

417
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: like hanging around all of them.

418
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: But when pushkov the shove and and you ask me

419
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: who is your favorite player to watch, Pete Rose is

420
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: number one for me? Way he way he played the game.

421
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: Four hits wasn't enough. I need to get five. Love

422
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: the man may rest in peace.

423
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: He broke a pretty coveted rule and a rule that.

424
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: You know, it really puts me in a bad spot

425
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: because I want to say absolutely but I but I

426
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: can't say that because that's the one rule.

427
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: Uh that was kind of top of the mountain. So

428
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 2: are you gonna press me on it? Or can I just.

429
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 4: We're good?

430
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: All right?

431
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 4: So before we let you go, because you gotta let

432
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 4: you go. I know you gotta go to work. But

433
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 4: I got asked if this is a true story. Paul

434
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 4: Knerko played with you in Cincinnati for like a week.

435
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: It's true. I can say it already. It's true. PAULI

436
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: ain't get a light to you. Go ahead, Okay.

437
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 4: So there was a pop up that goes up behind

438
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 4: first base. Pauli's running back. He's like, I got it,

439
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 4: I got it. You call him off, you catch it,

440
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 4: and you look at him and go, heyrook. I win

441
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 4: gold gloves on my fielding percentage. So I get every pop.

442
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: Up, every pop well. Plus I don't trust the first base,

443
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: you know. And I was trying to I was trying

444
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: to add to my war.

445
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 4: AJ that's to say exactly exactly right. And your range factor,

446
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 4: your range factor.

447
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 2: Range factor war, that's where it's at. Baby. Look at

448
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: Dantae Baschet's war. That's what I think of war.

449
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: That dude, he was a beast for three or four

450
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: years and he's got like a five war.

451
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 2: That's where you lose me on war.

452
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 4: Now you lose me on war when you show things

453
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 4: like certain guys are better than loul winikerss seventy five war.

454
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 4: He's not in the Hall of fame. What are we

455
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 4: doing if that's what the end all all is.

456
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: Well, I think with the Hall of Fame, and it

457
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 1: comes to Hall of Fame, I think you have to

458
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: go generation by generation. So for us, what was important

459
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: for us, That's what you judge us on. Did we

460
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: dominate our position? Now the current guys, I think you're

461
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to weigh ops war because that's what they

462
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: trained for. So I think you can't just blanket. Until

463
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: this modern era, it was kind of a blanket thing.

464
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: But then you go back way back in the day,

465
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: it was a dead ball era, so you didn't you

466
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: didn't really judge guys on home runs because the balls

467
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: were wound differently or something. So I think you you

468
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: got to take each individual generation and who are the

469
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: best of the best at the time, not necessarily the metrics.

470
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: He's right, five point six career base I mean.

471
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: At five point you saw that Bronni five point six.

472
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: Come on, this guy was a difference maker, MVP candidate, right.

473
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: I know he's playing in Colorado, but still pretty good numbers.

474
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 3: I agree. I agree, that's the shame. That's not a

475
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: good judgment of a player like that.

476
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 5: Out Booneie, have fun. We're rooting for you.

477
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 3: We're excited for this, so off to a good start

478
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: and we'll catch you down the line.

479
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: All right, I appreciate it, guys, thank you.

480
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 5: All right, we're back for it.

481
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 4: By the way, I just asked the question, does Brett

482
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 4: Boone still do his podcast? And they think he does.

483
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 4: I told you I did his podcast a while ago.

484
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 4: It was like a two hour interview. It was a

485
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 4: full on thing. I remember I left my house and

486
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,919
Speaker 4: I walked up here and I was like, Oh, I

487
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 4: told my wife. I said, oh, I'm doing Brett. You know,

488
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 4: she knows Boone. I'm like, we don't think it would

489
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 4: be I thought it'd be like fifteen to twenty minutes.

490
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 4: Like an hour and forty later. I come back, She's like,

491
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 4: where did you go? I was like, I told you,

492
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 4: and she's like, ah, Boone does talk a lot. Yeah,

493
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 4: but no, he's listen, dude. He's one of my A

494
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 4: lot of people didn't like him. I loved him. We

495
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 4: got along awesome. We played a lot of golf together

496
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 4: and been on Nike trip before a bunch of times together.

497
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 4: Had some good times. But if you want to talk baseball,

498
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 4: the two interviews we've had today honestly are hitting gold

499
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 4: from him, what he said about like the scoreboard and

500
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 4: every bat's different build it bats to a series, to

501
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 4: a game. All that stuff is what you need.

502
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 3: He's also just a straight shooter from what I've experienced

503
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 3: working with him, and some people can't handle the truth
