I had a great time. 87 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: I really enjoyed my time in Seattle. We did a 88 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: lot of really good things there. You know, it's professional sports. 89 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't always end the way you wanted to, but 90 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: you know, excited about opportunity to get on with the Podres. 91 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: It's been really good to look at how other organizations 92 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: do things, what they value and you know, I really 93 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: enjoy spending time with young players, helping out young coaches. 94 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: So I do have some previous relationships with some of 95 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: the people here in San Diego, so it's been a 96 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: good fit and I appreciate them letting me come on 97 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: board and help out any way I can. Obviously spending 98 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: a lot of time with the minor league players. At 99 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: this time of year, everybody's kind of getting geared up 100 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: for the draft, so I've got an opportunity to see 101 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: some amateur players throughout the country and it's been good. 102 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: It's keeping me busy. 103 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 2: That's good. You know what? That sounded like. That was 104 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: a GM answer right there. That was the GM. I 105 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: don't really want to answer that. 106 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 5: I'm gonna it's okay, I get it. 107 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 2: I know you were a manager a long time. It's okay, 108 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 2: I get all right. Well, then I got ask my 109 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 2: next question. 110 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 5: I'm gonna keep asking Mariners question to answer one. No, 111 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 5: I just have one more, and and and again it's 112 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 5: it's another question. Did you feel like I know, you 113 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 5: guys made the playoffs the one you know, and you 114 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 5: had some runs and you got close, but did you 115 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 5: feel like you were given Because we talk about this 116 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 5: all the time and Seattle is one of our favorite 117 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 5: teams to pick on, but did you feel like you 118 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 5: were given the resources needed from the ownership and and 119 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 5: and just because like they were. I look at this 120 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 5: year and even last year. You guys make the playoffs, 121 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 5: they don't go out and do anything. They make some 122 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 5: small trades, but they don't go get the next piece. 123 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 5: This year kind of the same thing. And we start 124 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 5: hearing it from mayoron or fan, did you feel like 125 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 5: as the manager and if we just could have done 126 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 5: I'm not even to name and name, but anything to 127 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,919 Speaker 5: get the next step. Man, I still could be the 128 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 5: And again, I know these are hard questions, and I apologize, Scott, 129 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 5: but these are questions I always want to ask you 130 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 5: never Idolgie, because these are answers to questions I want 131 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 5: to hear from people that I never hear asked, and 132 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 5: I want to know because you're a human and I 133 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 5: know you have feelings. 134 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I think every organization in baseball, every manager 135 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: out there, maybe other than Dave Roberts, who are certainly 136 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: going to have the cupboards are stocked there with the Dodgers, 137 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: but every manager out there, you're always looking for ways, 138 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: you know, you know, how to get better. Uh does 139 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: this player help? Does that player help? Things like that. 140 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: But every organization is in a different spot based on 141 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: you know, the market, you have, what you're trying to do, 142 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: where you're at kind of in your cycle of players 143 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: that are coming through. So again, Aj, I'm not going 144 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: to give you the answer you're looking for, but I 145 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 1: have no problem to asking the question. 146 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 2: Okay, that's no, I just yeah, that's good. 147 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 6: A J was asking the real hard hitters. I'm gonna 148 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 6: give you an easy one. 149 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: You give me something, I give me a give me 150 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: a softball. What do you got? 151 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 6: I'll give you an easy one. Is the batters eye 152 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 6: in Seattle too angled? Like did you ever stand in 153 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 6: the box? I know I watched you. I watched you 154 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 6: stand behind the turtle during VP. Is the batters I angled? 155 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,239 Speaker 1: You know I can't see it is angled? To answer 156 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: your question, I never really thought about it till ti 157 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: Oscar Hernandez made the comment about it. And uh, you know, 158 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: after he said it, you know, after after we had 159 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: him that one year, I didn't notice it. I don't 160 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: know how it affects what hitter seed during the game, 161 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: you stand behind the turtle. It doesn't look like there 162 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: is an issue. But the biggest thing obviously in Seattle, 163 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: it is a big time pitchers ballpark and stuff to hit. 164 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: It's certainly tough to hit in April and May it's 165 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: a little bit chilly. The ball just doesn't carry. It 166 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: is perfectly fine, I think in the summertime as it 167 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: heats up. But it has proven out to be one 168 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: of the best pitches parks in the league, and I 169 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,799 Speaker 1: think part of it has to do with the pitching 170 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: that the Mariners throw out there. It is high end stuff. 171 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: They have a lot of good arms and it's tough 172 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: place to score runs, but it is a little bit 173 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: angled in the outfield. And again maybe it affects some guys. 174 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. 175 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: I never really thought about it or noticed it a 176 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: ton until Ti Oscar had mentioned something a few years ago. 177 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 3: Ft Fam, you got to check out Hello Fresh.

Are we missing something with Cal Raley 205 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 6: because as a catcher, as a fellow catcher, I love 206 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 6: watching this dude play. He plays every single game and 207 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 6: on a national level, Are we missing how good this 208 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 6: guy is getting to one hundred home runs just last 209 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 6: night and the fact that he's winning Gold Gloves Platinum Gloves. 210 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 6: Should we know more about him across the nation as 211 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 6: baseball fans? 212 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: He certainly should. I think he's one of the top 213 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 1: catchers in the league, and I've said that for a 214 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: couple of years, and there's a lot of really good 215 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: catchers in the league, but what he's been able to do, 216 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: and I got so much respect for Cal, you know, 217 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: I think you guys both played the position and you 218 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: understand that the bumps and bruises and you have to 219 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: pay play it, not at one hundred percent probably the 220 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: majority of the season, and Cal finds a way to post. 221 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: He gets out there once the game starts, you can 222 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: see the adrenaline takeover. And not just what he does, 223 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 1: you know in the batter's boxer and they got big 224 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: time power, but what he's done with the pitching staff there, 225 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: and how he constantly's focused on improving his game. I 226 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: know a couple of years ago, he wasn't happy with 227 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: his friending numbers and he went out and said, screw it, 228 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get better, and he went and talked to 229 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: some of the best guys in the league and he 230 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: got better. Now he's one of the best in the league. 231 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: So my hat's off to him. And I was really 232 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: happy and excited for him that he got the extension 233 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: there in Seattle, because he deserved it. You know, when 234 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: you go out and you play and you post, and 235 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: you're starting to see his voice come forward and be 236 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: a real leader for that team now, and which they need, 237 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: you know, is he's done an awesome job. And like 238 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: I said, I'm happy to see he got the extension 239 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: to stay there and got a ton of respect for him. 240 00:09:58,520 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: Scott. 241 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 5: I know we talked about this a little bit. I 242 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 5: had a bunch of your games last year when you 243 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 5: were still in Seattle. Do you wish there was a backup? 244 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 5: I listen, as a former catcher, I love to play 245 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 5: every day. Do you think that the new thing is like, oh, 246 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 5: have him catch a hundred games? Well, Cal's having to 247 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 5: catch one hundred and thirty, one hundred and twenty, five 248 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 5: hundred and thirty every year because you were kind of 249 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 5: stuck where you had Mitch Garver as his backup. He's 250 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 5: still there and he wasn't really catching because he was 251 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 5: supposed to be the DH. Do you think in the 252 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 5: long term that will help him or hurt him by 253 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 5: having to play one hundred and twenty Because listen, I 254 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 5: love playing one hundred and thirty games, and I was 255 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 5: fortunate I was healthy all the time. 256 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 2: But do you think at some point he's gonna wear down? 257 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 4: Oh? 258 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: I think it does jump on catcher's backs once in 259 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: a while you start putting the amount of the workload 260 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: together on him. I think the tough thing AJ and 261 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: Kratz you probably appreciate this too. It's the games that 262 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 1: maybe you're not starting, but all of a sudden you 263 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: come into the game late, so you think you have 264 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: a day off, but all of a sudden, the game's tied. 265 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: It's the eighth inning. Oh gosh, we got to run 266 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: Cal in there to pinch hit him. You feel that 267 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: as a manager, you know he's one of the best 268 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: bats you know, so it's the day you were hoping 269 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: to give him off, not just physically but mentally. But 270 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 1: now you look up, the score is tied. I got 271 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: one of my best bats in the lineup. Here comes 272 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: the catcher's spot. You have to pinch hit them. When 273 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: those games start to mount where you can't get a 274 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: full day off, like I said, physically and mentally, then 275 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: it can wear on you a little bit. But he's 276 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: in his prime. The one thing I'll say about cal 277 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: I said a ton of respect. He wants to play 278 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: every day, even the days he's not in the lineup. 279 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 1: He'll come in your office and he'll be pissed off 280 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: at you and put me in there. I'm good And 281 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: sometimes you have to be the grown up and say no, 282 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna give you a day here. But those games 283 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: you have to come in later in the game. Sometimes 284 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: that's even harder on guys than actually going out and 285 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: starting the game. 286 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 5: I agree, So thank you for saying that, because it 287 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 5: is the worst thing as a catcher when the manager 288 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 5: would say hey. Because I was pretty fortunate, most of 289 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 5: my managers would come to me and say, hey, you're 290 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 5: playing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday is a day game. There's 291 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 5: a lefty thrown. We're gonna give you that day. And 292 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 5: then the eighth inning comes around. And what would make 293 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 5: me more mad than anything is you're down five and 294 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 5: they're like, go pinch it, and I'm. 295 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 4: Like, even if I let a whole run it doesn't do, then. 296 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 2: I gotta go out and catch. Like, just start me. 297 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 5: If you're gonna stick me in that situation, just start me, 298 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 5: because it doesn't. It's the same mentally and same physical 299 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 5: you know, ups and downs. Is just catching that one 300 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 5: thing is as it was catching nine. 301 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: Absolutely, there's no no question about it. Ag I gotta 302 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: share a story with you. Man. So I'm over with 303 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: the Padres this spring and I'm in spring training and 304 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: getting the no guys, I'm not spending I'm spending most 305 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: of my time on the minor league side. But you know, 306 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: some of the guys that you've managed against for years, 307 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: you want to talk to. So I had a little 308 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: opportunity to talk to you darbish for a minute. And 309 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: I've always been fascinated about you darbish, you know, from 310 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: when he came over from Japan and what he's able 311 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: to do throughout his career. And I start talking to him, 312 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: and you know, we're going back and forth, and I 313 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: asked him the question. I said, hey, you, who's some 314 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: of the favorite catchers you've thrown to? And he's rattling 315 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: off two or three or four different guys and we're 316 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,719 Speaker 1: talking about it and he drops a J Perzinsky on me, 317 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: and I'm like, what are you kidding? And you're gonna 318 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: put him in that group? Look at AJ right now. 319 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: You see that crazy sits up right now. 320 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 2: Now Jack's career ra when I called him, trust me, 321 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: it was really good. 322 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 1: So we got into that conversation and I said, well, 323 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: what did AJ do? How was this Japanese? He said, no, No, 324 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: Japanese wasn't good. I could barely understand his English. 325 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 2: There's a lot of curse words in there too, trust me. Yeah, 326 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: throw the half and fastball. 327 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 5: You you throw a hundred, Please throw a fastball. 328 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: No, I thought you appreciate that one and I said, well, 329 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 1: if I ever run India again, here I am. I 330 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: gonna have to share that story. 331 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 5: But listen, you and I didn't necessarily get along out 332 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 5: at all times when we played together, because there was 333 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 5: a lot of me yelling at him, like you can 334 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 5: be so much better. But now we see each other, 335 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 5: we're much better. We're friends now we talk, so I 336 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 5: love you. He was great and people ask me, Scott, 337 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 5: the best stuff I've ever seen you darvish, and it's 338 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 5: not even cool. He threw eight pitches that were better 339 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 5: than anybody. I mean it was you could throw any 340 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 5: pitch anytime. You can literally walk out of the mountain 341 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 5: and say you, let's invent like a knuckle split curveball, 342 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 5: and he goes and throw. 343 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 2: It right there on the mountain. You'd be like, nobody 344 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 2: could throw that. 345 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, those guys are amazing when they have that kind 346 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: of fear. And he has one of those guys and 347 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: just an unbelievable career. And I know he's out right 348 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: now with the pod andres. Hopefully we'll get him back soon. 349 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: But I had to share that story with you. I'm like, Okay, 350 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: I got to put this in the bank. There'll be 351 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: a time to catch in on it. So I thought 352 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 1: today was today. 353 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 6: And you Dartis could go out the next day and 354 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 6: throw all of those pitches left handed too, So yes, 355 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 6: he is. He is definitely the most impressive. Now back 356 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 6: to the Padres, you had said, all the things you're doing, 357 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 6: what are you the best at? What do you bring 358 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 6: the most value at with the organization in the role 359 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 6: that you're. 360 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: At now, I don't know if there's the best thing. 361 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: I have a lot of experience, and I think you know, 362 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: whether it's from you know, I've been in the front 363 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: office before, I've I've run player development, you know, departments, 364 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: been a farm director obviously being at the major league 365 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: level here the last you know, nine years, you have 366 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: a different You have a feel for people and relationships 367 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: and that's what I really love. And uh and I'm 368 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: learning a lot too. But you know, as far as 369 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: like what I'm best at, I don't know. I just 370 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: I love the relationships in the game and I'm able 371 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: to right now give back to young coaches and players. 372 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: I'm sitting in San Antonio today, I'll go to a 373 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: double A game tonight watch our team there, you know, 374 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: So I love the game that's the biggest thing, and 375 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: anytime you got a chance to give back. But along 376 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: the way, I learn, and I think as we've seen 377 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: the game evolve, certainly in the last ten twelve years, 378 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: it's changed so much. I have learned a ton being 379 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: around and exposed to a lot of really good young coaches, 380 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: and like I said, they've taught me a few things. 381 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: And along the way, maybe I've passed on a few 382 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: experiences that I've had to them to help them along 383 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: the way. So again it's about the relationships in the game. 384 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: I do love that. I do miss the competition, you know, 385 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: when you're in the dugout every night, it's win or 386 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: lose and the games on the line, and I really 387 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: enjoyed that as well. But for me where I'm at 388 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: right now in my career, I'm enjoying giving back and 389 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: just trying to help out the potters any way I can. 390 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 6: Your hair is so much more than what you see 391 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 6: when you look in the mirror.

That's neutrofol dot com promo code foul. 409 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 6: Are we failing minor leaguers at this point? You're you're 410 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 6: doing mostly minor league things right now? Are we failing 411 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 6: them as a baseball industry compared to where we used 412 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 6: to be? Because Major League Baseball's gotten rid of so 413 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 6: many teams, gotten rid of development, gotten rid of over 414 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 6: half of over half of the draft. Are we failing them? 415 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,719 Speaker 6: I mean we It came out that the Marlins Triple 416 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 6: A pitching coach is calling pitches for their catchers so 417 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 6: that they can work on their that's Triple A, so 418 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 6: they can work on their hitting. In general, do you 419 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 6: feel like, not just saying the Padres or the or 420 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 6: the Mariners, but just in general. 421 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: Well, a couple of things. I've noticed that I was 422 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: out in Triple A about a week ago. I'm in 423 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: Double A right now. I was in spring training. Certainly, 424 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: the number of players just aren't there. You talked about 425 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: they eliminated the half of the draft, and that it 426 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: does affect things as far as the depth of players, 427 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: the number of players you have to pull from, and 428 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: along the way, there will be a twenty ninth round 429 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: Eric Kratz that makes his way to the big leagues, 430 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: and there's not all those players that are there right now. 431 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: So that that's the first thing that you notice, I think, 432 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: on how the game is played, the game is changing. 433 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: I don't think you can push back against that, whether 434 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: it's the rule changes or you know, what's the things 435 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: that in development, things that are focused on. Obviously velocity 436 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: is shot through the roof and the pitching side. You know, 437 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: it's been interesting for me to see how some organizations 438 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 1: value contact rates and just getting the ball in play. 439 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: You know, back when when I played, and certainly when 440 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: you guys played, you know, it really drove us crazy 441 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: to strike out, and you've seen over the last ten 442 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 1: fifteen years the strikeouts just part of the game. And 443 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: it's been fun for me to continue to learn see 444 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: what the padres do. We put a big premium and 445 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: getting the ball in play, and then how that can 446 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: be stressed, you know, throughout different organizations. But the biggest 447 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: thing is, you know, certainly the number of players that 448 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: are down, how the game is played. I think there's 449 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 1: a lot of changes to the game that have been 450 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: good for the game. When the when the pitch clock 451 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: first came in play, I'm like, I don't know about this, 452 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: or you know, limiting the mound visits it has helped 453 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: the game in my opinion. It really has now the 454 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: biggest change on the on the horizon. Here's abs we 455 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: saw it in spring training. I'm watching it at the 456 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: Triple A level here last week. It is very interesting. 457 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: I love the strategy of the game, and there's a 458 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: ton of strategy tied to tow a B S and 459 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: the challenges. I think that's gonna ultimately when it was 460 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: brought up to me, originally was brought up to me, 461 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: I said, this is bad for the game. Now watching 462 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: it play out and how quickly quickly it happens, it's 463 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: actually probably gonna be a pretty interesting part of the 464 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: game going forward. So the game keeps changing. We can't 465 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: stop it. But I also think it comes full circle 466 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: and I think you're starting to see, you know, some 467 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: of the small ball come back into the play at 468 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: the big league level, stressed at the minor league level. 469 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: You know, the bunt thing, the stealing the bases, doing 470 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: the moving runners, which kind of went away in our 471 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: game for a long time when it was just about 472 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: the three run homer and slug the ball. But again, 473 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: it's the game. It keeps changing. I think you have 474 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: to be smart enough to realize you have to move 475 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: with it and you try to stay out ahead of it. 476 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: And as far as strategy of it goes. So I 477 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 1: love all those things that I really do, and you know, 478 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: but the abs thing will be the next thing Cratcy. 479 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: That's really going to be interesting to see how that 480 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 1: plays out. 481 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 2: A couple of things. 482 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 5: Got One, if you're in San Antonio, stay away from 483 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 5: the riverwalk. My wife got the COVID there, so be careful. 484 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 2: When I was there for. 485 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 5: The Gator game and they won the National champions be 486 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 5: careful you find out. But I mean she had the COVID. 487 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 5: I didn't even know the COVID was a. 488 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 2: Thing anymore, So be careful while you're there. 489 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 5: Two, you must have been listening to our conversation earlier 490 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 5: where we were talking about strikeouts and how you know 491 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 5: if you used to strike out a hundred times, people 492 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 5: were like, gosh, this guy sucks. Now two hundred times 493 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 5: on every nine guys in the order is the normal. 494 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 2: So I agree, make strikeouts matter. I'm going to make 495 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 2: a shirt that says that. And then, last of all, 496 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 2: I want to. 497 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 5: Know we're talking about the minor leagues and you managed 498 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 5: at the big league level. You've been in director of 499 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 5: player development, you're doing player development now. 500 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 2: Krats asked if we're doing a disservice. Here's my question. 501 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 5: For the minor leagues, they play six game series they 502 00:20:54,680 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 5: have every Monday off. Okay, a starting pitcher in your organization, Well, 503 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 5: we'll get to the major leagues and have never pitched 504 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 5: every fifth day, not in high school, not in college, 505 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 5: not in the minor leagues. And then they get to 506 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 5: the major leagues and we're like, oh, by the way, 507 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 5: you're starting in four days. You've never done this before. 508 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 5: How do we get how do we this is a 509 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 5: development question, I guess, how do we get pitchers ready 510 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 5: for something at the highest pressure, the highest everything, and 511 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 5: they've never done it in their life before. 512 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: It's a great question. That's one of the reasons I 513 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: can speak only to the pod raiser what we're doing 514 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: in Double A and Triple A. The guy who starts 515 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: on Tuesday does come back and pitch on Sunday in 516 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: that week cycle. So our guys at double and Triple 517 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: A there only is five man rotations there. For the 518 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: exact reason, I don't think it's fair to ask players, 519 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: and I always bothered me at the big league level 520 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: when you'd ask players to do something like you talked 521 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: about the most stressful environment you can be in, things 522 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: they've never done before. And I think one of the 523 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: things that often happened. We'd have guys that get called 524 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: up and had never pitched bullpen, guys pitched on back 525 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: to back days. We had guys do it the first 526 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: time ever at the big league level. You know that 527 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: that's it's hard to ask a player to do that, 528 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 1: but you have to do it at the big league level. 529 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: So again I can only speak to you know what 530 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: the padres are doing. But at the Double A and 531 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: Triple A level, we are on a five man rotation, 532 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: and you know, as the season gets going and arm 533 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: strength gets built up, the relievers will go back to back. 534 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: You got to the minor leagues are there to assimilate 535 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: the big leagues, and you've got to have gone through 536 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: those things as a player at some point in your 537 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 1: career to know that you you've done it, and how 538 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna bounce back, How are you going to react 539 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: to it? What does my arm feel like? I do 540 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: think you know, at the minor league level, now that 541 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: they have the Mondays off, from a player development standpoint, 542 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 1: I think it's a good thing I really do for 543 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: certainly for position players. It allows you, you know, the 544 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: manager of those minor league teams to you know, kind 545 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: of catch his breath. Players, you can kind of reset 546 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: your bullpen, and now the rosters are different size now 547 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: than they used to be and things like that, which 548 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: which are all good, is starting to keep players healthy. 549 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: But ultimately, the minor leagues are there for the big 550 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: leagues and getting these guys ready and hopefully you can 551 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: put to them in situations that they've been through before 552 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: so when they get to the big leagues they can 553 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: handle it better. But I know some teams are doing 554 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: that at the A ball levels. That's what we do 555 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: when we keep on a six man rotation there, We're 556 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: just trying to get them through A ball And for 557 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: me aj you know, the big separator and player development 558 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: has been the Double A level. It always has been, 559 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: always will be. Once you get into Double A, you 560 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: kind of cross the line. Now you're on the depth 561 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: chart for your major league manager and then the front 562 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: office there can this guy help us at some point 563 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: this year. So my league at the A ball levels, 564 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: it's it's just about keeping them healthy. But five man 565 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: rotation is crucial. I think at Double A and Triple A. 566 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 5: Listen, I'm proud of you for saying that. I really 567 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 5: am proud of you because It's nice to hear that 568 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 5: at least one organization understands that, hey, they got to 569 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 5: do it before they get to the big leagues with. 570 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 2: All the pressures on. Now, Scott, now that I feel 571 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 2: like we're friends. 572 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: Last question, I gotta get them backwards hat then we'll 573 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: be tight. 574 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 5: Okay, it's this is a serious question. I mean this seriously. 575 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 5: You're now at the Padres. You just switch sides from Peoria, 576 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 5: from the Mariners to the Padres. May to Poto said 577 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 5: the fifty four percent comment. I know he regrets it, 578 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 5: but do you feel like aj Preler tries to win 579 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 5: one hundred percent of the games instead of only fifty 580 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 5: four percent of the games? Because honestly, I know what 581 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 5: he said, and I understand what he meant. But listen, 582 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 5: it's just something you can't say publicly. But what's the 583 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 5: difference in the mentality of the Padres versus the Mariners. 584 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 5: I know they're both trying to win, but what's There's 585 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 5: definitely a difference because listen, they both trade a lot, 586 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 5: they both do this, but Peler goes and makes the 587 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 5: big moves. It seems like the Poto tries to make 588 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 5: the smaller kind of moves. 589 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: Every place is different. Everybody's going to value different things 590 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 1: and how they put their teams together, how they develop players, 591 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: how they draft. I mean, payrolls are all different, you 592 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 1: know whatnot so again for me kind of seeing what 593 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 1: the Pondre's done and I just came on board here 594 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: in January, there are stark differences, There's no question about it. 595 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: I think the thing that stood out for me first 596 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: was just the number of people who work for the 597 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: Padres in the different department that they have and how 598 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: they're built out. It's just different. Doesn't make it right 599 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: or wrong or it's just a different vibe to it. 600 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: But you know, as far as trying to win every 601 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: game or winning one hundred and fifty four percent whatever, 602 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: I know Mike Schild is trying to win every game 603 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: and he's done an awesome job. Just from Afar kind 604 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,680 Speaker 1: of seeing what's going on with our major league team 605 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: and the staff and what the job that they did 606 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 1: in preparing our guys to get ready to get off 607 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: to a good start. Every managers has got it a 608 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: lot to get out of the gate in a good place. 609 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: You know, keep everybody healthy. But if you can get 610 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: off and get off on a good start. Just the 611 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: confidence grows. You feel it around the stadium, the fan base, 612 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: everybody gets excited, and we did an awesome job. Credit 613 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 1: to our major League staff for getting our guys ready 614 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: to go, and the start that we're off to has 615 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: been fantastic. So again, it's a long season. I get 616 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: different teams look at different things, they value different things, 617 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: and for me it's been a great opportunity to see 618 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: the other side of things. And again, I'm sure the Dodgers, 619 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: the Yankees, the Red Sox, everybody does a little bit different. 620 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: And having spent so much time in Seattle and being 621 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: a part of what was going on there, I'm just 622 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: grateful to get the opportunity to do it here and 623 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: continue to learn. 624 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 4: That's great, that's great answer. 625 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 3: And I also love, by the way, how the Padres 626 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 3: will do an excellent job of developing these players, but. 627 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 4: Then they'll train some of them there to move them. 628 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 4: You've got to do that too. The ultimate goal. 629 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 3: We're trying to win titles here. That's what everyone's trying 630 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 3: to do. You talk to anybody, so there's no. 631 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 5: Better there's I don't know. I'm Scott, you've been to 632 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 5: Petgo before. There is no better atmosphere than pet Go Park. 633 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 5: But it is rocking. I mean, they're playing well. I 634 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 5: mean it's incredible. It's one of my favorite places to go, 635 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 5: sit and do a game, watch a game, whatever you 636 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 5: want to call it. 637 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 2: It's it's an incredible atmosphere. 638 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: It really is. And you know, from again from a 639 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: farm traveling around and I'll get to see the team 640 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: here in the next few weeks, spend a few days 641 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: around it. But on a Monday night, you know, there's 642 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: forty five thousand people in there and they are going crazy. 643 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: They're behind the team. And the fun thing about now Potters, 644 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: there's a lot of personality on that team, you know, 645 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: from Tatis to Manny to boguards to the pitching staff. 646 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of players that you can say, Okay, 647 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: that's my favorite player. I'm gonna buy that guy's jersey. 648 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 2: And as you look. 649 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: At the games on TV or in the ballpark, you 650 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: see it. Our players really connect with the community there. 651 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: They've done an awesome job and again, it's gonna be 652 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: an exciting year ahead. I think the NL West this 653 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: year probably lines up as the toughest division in baseball. 654 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 1: There's a lot of really good teams, good players. Oftentimes 655 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: it comes down to who can stay the healthiest throughout 656 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: the year and keep you guys going. But the atmosphere 657 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: in Siando in San Diego is just awesome. 658 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, agreed. 659 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 3: They've made an event at a single game, which is 660 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,679 Speaker 3: tough to do when you've cast eighty one home games 661 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 3: like that. 662 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, you're in a great spot. Scott. This 663 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 4: was awesome. 664 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 3: Hope you enjoyed it, backwards hat or not. We loved 665 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 3: having you on. So hopefully again sometimes. 666 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 5: Watch out in San Antonio.
