1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: What do you guys need to do to win it

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:02,040

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 4: camp feel like you're just going back to summer camp?

9
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 4: Almost because a lot of teams go through a ton

10
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 4: of turnover. But you know, the Phillies have the same

11

00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,560

00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: see the same group continue to come back each year

15
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,280

Speaker 5: You don't pay attention to Phillies.

64
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: News or anything or any not not much at all.

00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 5: I don't know, but gosh, I mean you had a

74
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 5: good year last year. Yeah, And I'll be and I'll

75
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 5: be honest, I was. I was there when you guys

76
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 5: played the Mets, right, and I heard people say they

77
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 5: about you and like and I don't know what's true

78
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 5: and what's not true?

79
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 6: Right?

80
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 5: But to me, when I've seen you've always been a

81
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 5: good guy. You play hard, you care, right, you obviously care.

82
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 5: You hit, I mean you're almost you know, driving runs,

83
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 5: You hit doubles, hit homers. To me, that's would be

84
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 5: most frustrating. If I'm you, I'm I'm thinking, Man, I

85
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 5: had a good year. I've gotten better defensively, I get

86
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 5: big hits for these guys, I can drive in the runs.

87
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 5: Why would they want to trade me?

88
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Why me?

89
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 5: Like I want to you want to stay here? So

90
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 5: I would have been like that would but it's good

91
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 5: you don't have a phone. So you were like, no,

92
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 5: I don't really know.

93
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 3: Just act like I don't hear it.

94
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: You know, that's what that's like. I had a good year, right, Yeah,

95
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: And I know that's try Once you know, you start

96
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: hearing all this stuff, it's just like, all right, forget

97
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: about that and build on the good year. Go get better,

98
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: keep getting better, and just keep keep doing it.

99
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 5: But Topper had your back, right, that has to make

100
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 5: you feel good. Topper, Yeah, was like, yeah, I want

101
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 5: him or he's here, he's our guy.

102
00:03:59,000 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

103
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: When he reached out, I was more like all right, cool, Like, now,

104
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: let's get ready for next year.

105
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: You know, is the rb is RBI a stat because

106
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: so many people are like RBIs don't mean anything. And

107
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: when we played together in tam Usa, I remember watching

108
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: your first VP and I was like, dude, this guy

109
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: might be able because you elevate the ball the opposite field.

110
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: So well, I'm like, this dude might be able to

111
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: if he stays on some breaking balls, you might be

112
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: able to drive in a ton of runs. And somebody

113
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: turned to me and goes, RBIs don't mean anything, And

114
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: you've gone back to back years of almost one hundred RBIs, which,

115
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: by the way, you're really like, you're just short, and

116
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure you didn't know that, but you're just

117
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean, just get a hundred one time, please.

118
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 6: I know.

119
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: Well, like, why would you want to score more runs

120
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: than the other team. That's not how you win, right.

121
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 5: If you drive in more than the other team does,

122
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 5: you usually win the games? Right, So to me, that's

123
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 5: one of the dumbest things of all. Give me, dudes,

124
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 5: you can drive in runs because I'll defense.

125
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 3: But we got a score.

126
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 5: Speaking of defense, you were out here, he was out

127
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 5: here with boa grinding on the half field they have

128
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 5: over here. You do that every day.

129
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't get me wrong, I care about defense too.

130
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 5: I mean he was over there.

131
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: It's there for an hour, Yeah, probably less, but yeah,

132
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: I mean just every day we kind of yet never

133
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: we just kind of get the spring, We kind of

134
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: get back to the basics of it and just rebuild

135
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: it and just keep drilling things. So that game comes

136
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: somebody whacks one at you, you just react.

137
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're sick of Boa. Stop, You're You're

138
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: just you're giving the You're You're like, you want Bobby back.

139
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: You want Bobby to just give you the give you

140
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: the drills, and Boa to be like just yell at me.

141
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: Just have have Boa yell because he just loves to yell.

142
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: I'll be sitting over there catching and Bo is just

143
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: whacking fungo after fungo, not taking a.

144
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: Breath and straight hours.

145
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: Oh He'll he'll hit fungos until the player drops and

146
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: he'll be still standing.

147
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: Who who hits the best fungo?

148
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 6: Though?

149
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 3: Uh, they're all pretty good.

150
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: Like it amazes me every spring where they go around

151
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: and like hit hit balls of the bags for tags

152
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: and everything, and these guys are hitting it right on

153
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: the bag every time. It just it doesn't make sense

154
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: to me. But I think Bobby still probably got the

155
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: best fungo for me.

156
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: But that's probably.

157
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 5: I can see both rage at you.

158
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: He'll get going, he'll get going. But Bobby's Bobby's trying

159
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: to like make you miss the ball. Really, he's trying

160
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: to make it hard. Yeah, but it's good for you.

161
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 5: Is that the best way you think to improve because

162
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 5: your defense is a million percent better. Yeah, was when

163
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 5: you first came up.

164
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: I mean it was a lot of ground balls, but yeah,

165
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: just doing hard stuff.

166
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 6: Do you try to do?

167
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 5: You try to make a game like, so you say

168
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 5: to Bobby, like, let's let's do this, and it's more

169
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 5: game like than just because anybody can kind of stand

170
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 5: there and if they hit it right at you, right,

171
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 5: you're a big league player.

172
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: Like the short side fungo where you're getting like the

173
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: top spin ball out of the baseline instead of like

174
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: someone standing straight across from you and just hitting you

175
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: a nice ground ball that's rolling at you.

176
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: Looks good, cool, like we're loose, but.

177
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: Like the actual like in the top spin where I

178
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: got to make a decision, go find a hop catch

179
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: the hop.

180
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 5: Do that you mean the old one where the coach

181
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 5: hits you the perfect too hot backspin one right in

182
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 5: your glove. You're actually trying to make yourself work. I

183
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 5: love it.

184
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 6: I love it.

185
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 5: Anything offensively this year you want to you want to

186
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 5: work on.

187
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: Just keep building.

188
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: I think the more and more you can stay in

189
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: the strike zone, that's a big thing now, especially with

190
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: what we're testing out here with this ABS thing. I

191
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: know I'm trying not to pay too much attention to

192
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: it now because I know that's not the strike zone

193
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: we're going to have during the season.

194
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 6: But did you measure?

195
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 5: I want to know what you measured up?

196
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: We have a little poll with the rings for like

197
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: top and bottom of your zone, and mine's the highest.

198
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 5: Is it so height? You were what six?

199
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 2: It wasn't the exact height. It's just like the top

200
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: of your zone. They measured I forget. They wouldn't let me.

201
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: They measured you like three times.

202
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 6: Is there somebody?

203
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: There was like three people. There was no manipulating it.

204
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 5: That's awesome.

205
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: I gave it my best we had.

206
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 5: We interviewed j T. We're gonna run a little bit later,

207
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 5: and he said, you guys ran into a rocket in

208
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 5: the playoffs last year, the Mets. Yeah, they just look

209
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 5: at it like we because you guys were so good

210
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 5: during the regular season. Yeah, and then it's just they

211
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 5: were got hot for three games.

212
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: It's baseball, Like that's kind of like you know some

213
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: other sports, like yeah, Like it's it's like the whole

214
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: like march madnessing, Like the team gets hot, they can

215
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: just go. And the Mets were hot, they're playing their

216
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 2: best ball, ball is bouncing their way. We just couldn't

217
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: get it going. And that's just the reality of it.

218
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: And that's that's baseball, and that's that's why the game's pure,

219
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: because He's like anybody can win at any given day,

220
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: and it's not so much what you see on paper.

221
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: What do you guys need to do though, What do

222
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: you guys need to do to win it this year?

223
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: Score more runs than the other.

224
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 6: Man?

225
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, stay healthy. I think keep doing what

226
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: we've been doing right, because it works, we get to

227
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I think that's the main thing. You know,

228
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: everybody comes in the spring, everybody has a meeting. Hey,

229
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 2: our goals win the World Series. But you can't get

230
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: there if you don't get.

231
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: To the playoffs.

232
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 2: So first things first, our jobs to get to the playoffs,

233
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: and whether that's through winning the division or being a

234
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: wild card team, whatever that is. But we just got

235
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: to get there. And then we know over the last

236
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 2: three years, anything can happen once you get there.

237
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: Got to be there.

238
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 5: I'm sure you've probably been asked us before. The first

239
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 5: I'm gonna ask you two questions. First of all, you're

240
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 5: not on your phone. What do you do if you're

241
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 5: not on your phone?

242
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 6: What the heck do you do?

243
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 5: Because everyone's on their phone?

244
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 2: I know, not a lot, honestly, I pretty much it

245
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: was off season. Was wake up, jim, little pt, little treatment, home, hangout,

246
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: video games.

247
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 5: Oh, okay, a game.

248
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: There's some type of technology in my life, but not

249
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: with so much social media. Which game I'll play, some

250
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 2: Call of Duty, I'll play some NBA, whatever sports kind

251
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: of end season, I'll play a little bit of you know.

252
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, And then I got asked this best

253
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 5: Bryce story?

254
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 3: You can tell them her best Bryce story.

255
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I think one of the one of the

256
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: wilder things I've seen on a baseball field was the

257
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: the Angel Hernandez ejection on the check swing. And I'm

258
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: on deck for this. So Bryce is, you know, walking

259
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: off the field after he lets Angel know he missed one,

260
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 2: and he's uh, he launches his helmet over the net,

261
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: over my head, over the over the dugout, over the

262
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 2: net into the stands, caught it.

263
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 5: Did you sign it?

264
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 3: I think he ended up getting it back and signing

265
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: it for him everything, And that's great.

266
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 5: But that's great. I love it.

267
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: It was the kid's best day of the kid's life.

268
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: But I think Bryce got in all the trouble for it.

269
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 5: But I hopefully Bryce wasn't like this, Hey I need that, guys, Sorry, kid,

270
00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 5: I just need you.

271
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: I need I got to use that.

272
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got in trouble for Did he get Did

273
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: he get figned?

274
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. You'll have to ask him.

275
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 5: You haven't loving the stands and got and got d

276
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 5: f ag the next day. That didn't happen to Bryce.

277
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: He's not getting fired for that.

278
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 6: Now.

279
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: Do you have any do you have any Bryce signed memorabilia?

280
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: Like do you wish you would have like my tumbo

281
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: like that helmet before it went out there and be like, hey, Bryce,

282
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: you can sign this for me and not I.

283
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: Got the Harper's on right now.

284
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: Oh no, but he's not signing.

285
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 3: There's got to be a signature on here somewhere. It's

286
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 3: not real.

287
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 5: But what if you what if you asked him to

288
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 5: sign this in a warm in the game.

289
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be tremendous. That would be you have

290
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: definitely more power.

291
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 4: I got I got one more for you. Uh, Philly's

292
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 4: hit a home or do something big? Guys have anything

293
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 4: planned in the dugout?

294
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 3: No, that stuff kind of just makes itself up on

295
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: the way.

296
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: It's kind of that uh, that whole organic kind of

297
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 2: messing around that teams do. And you know, we don't

298
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 2: really uh pre like plan that stuff. I think some

299
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: skit will pop up throughout the year and we'll roll

300
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: with it and that'll that'll probably be what happens.

301
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 3: Whatever gets as hot.

302
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: Who's the best? You guys have it. You guys have

303
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: a table in your in your in the clubhouse. Who's

304
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: the best? And what's the ranking system? Top top three?

305
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: I think the hurricane wiped out the ping pong table,

306
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: but uh so we don't have one right now. Starts

307
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: to typically the stots typically the winner from what I've

308
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,599
Speaker 2: remember from last year.

309
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 5: Every time I've ever been beaten every time. I was

310
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 5: gonna say, every time I go into the Philly Clubhouse,

311
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 5: it's Schwarber on the ping pong, it's Schwarber. Price is

312
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 5: usually there is Locker on the couch with the hoodie on,

313
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 5: and then Schwarber is just standing there. Whoever will walk

314
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 5: like I think one time schober tried to get me

315
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,319

336
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:10,359
Speaker 1: how are you doing.

337
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 6: At that? That's one of a question, you know, I've

338
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 6: I've given so many nicknames, crashy. Honestly, I don't remember,

339
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 6: but what it was, I'm sure it was probably pretty good,

340
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 6: but please remind me. Yeah, I'm getting old, bro, you

341
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 6: know I'm getting old. I'm out of touch.

342
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, I said, I set you up

343
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: for that one because it wasn't a nickname. You were

344
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: one of the few people when I played that called

345
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: me Eric all the.

346
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 6: Time, like yeah, yeah.

347
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: It was super. Hey have you heard have you heard

348
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: anybody that comes on the show call me Eric?

349
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: Me?

350
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 5: Maybe I don't even call you Eric.

351
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 1: And so that's why I said it. That's why I

352
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: said it because A J is the second one that

353
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: calls me Eric. And I think it's the it's the

354
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: fringe Hall of Fame. It's the dudes who are like,

355
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a real hall of fame. I

356
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: really don't want to call this guy by the name

357
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: that everyone else calls him, just I'm just gonna call

358
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: him Eric. So it was so unique that you're both

359
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: sitting next to each other and you both call me Eric,

360
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: and very few people my dad doesn't even call me Eric.

361
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 6: I mean, you just look like an Eric to me.

362
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 6: You know, one of my best friends growing up, his

363
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 6: name was Eric Hugh and so that was like the

364
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 6: second time I got to call somebody by their government name.

365
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 6: So Eric, get to see your brother government Eric.

366
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 5: You know what we we do this because we played

367
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 5: in Japan back in two thousand and two.

368
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 6: Oh too, man, So Jay Row and I go way

369
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 6: back and then yeah, yep, bonds each ye Row that

370
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 6: that whole thing. We can't talk about anything that happened

371
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 6: during that time, but we had one hell of the time,

372
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 6: I guarantee you that much.

373
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: Lots of sushi and saki.

374

377
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 5: so we're fresiating. This reminds me when we do the

378
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 5: playoffs together. Jerrold and I worked for Fox, and I know,

379

Speaker 5: And now look at him. He's a big media star

390
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 6: so I'm everywhere. We've both grown in different ways. That

391
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 6: that's all of this. You know. I just get to

392
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 6: work every Tuesday. That's the only difference. Bro.

393
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 5: I work Saturdays.

394
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 6: I mean, your weekends is done.

395
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 5: It's just funny how I look back over your career

396
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 5: and then you be guys like Jimmy and we always

397
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 5: you know, kept in touch after we went did Japan.

398
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 5: Then we go to get to work the playoffs, right,

399
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden you look up and

400
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 5: you're like, man, he's awesome on TV.

401
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 6: I know him.

402
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,239
Speaker 5: I played with him. Oh Man, I was there when

403
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 5: Jimmy first.

404
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 6: Did TV Man first started for real nervously. It was

405
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 6: it was, you know, because you're playing, and so you

406
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 6: want to be truthful, but you want to be fair,

407
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 6: but you can't be too opinionated, as we always say,

408
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 6: you don't. You never know when you're going to be

409
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 6: in a clubhouse with that guy. So now, but now

410
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 6: that I know, it's like you, now that we're you

411
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 6: never had a problem being opinion they let's be honest

412
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 6: about that. I mean, you never had a problem with that.

413
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 6: But now that you're done, it's like you can look

414
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 6: at it differently and say, I can be truthful to

415
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 6: what I know and to what I speak and as

416
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 6: nothing that's let's do with being in a clubhouse with someone.

417
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 6: It's being honest with the fans that are watching the game.

418
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 6: Because baseball fans, I think are the most honest because

419
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 6: almost everyone has played baseball at some point in their life,

420
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 6: whether it's recreationally, little league, and got to a point

421
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 6: where it's like I knew I wasn't going to make it,

422
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 6: but they still understand the game. So when I understood,

423
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 6: I can be really honest without overteaching without being too harsh,

424
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 6: too critical. That's when I found my voice.

425
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy, I want you to be honest about what you

426
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: thought of AJ. I know you played together, you know,

427
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: are in the Japan series or whatever, but as a

428
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: fellow competitor, a dude that is out there every single

429
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: day like you were always you were always posting one

430
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two games a year, what did you

431
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: think of AJ and how much he played? But also

432
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: as a person, because you said it a little bit,

433
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: you alluded to it. I'm afraid to be opinionated.

434
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 6: No, not at all. So I didn't play too much

435
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 6: against him earlier in my career, but I would hear stories,

436
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 6: you know, I mean people hated him why because he

437
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 6: always talks. But as a pitcher, he's always fighting for

438
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 6: that pitch for he's fighting for that strike. He's trying

439
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 6: to distract the hitter, get in your head. So the

440
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 6: times I faced him, I was prepared. I'm coming in

441
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 6: with a whole conversation for him also, but it's kind

442
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 6: of empty headed, like I know he's gonna talk, he's

443
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 6: gonna try to distract me. But I didn't mind it

444
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 6: because I was always prepared. Now, like you weren't talking either. Now,

445
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 6: I said, I had a conversation ready. Yeah, I had

446
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 6: a conversation ready. But it was good. Yeah, and you know,

447
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 6: big fan, but yeah, so and and then obviously he

448
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 6: got through him personally. So I didn't mind. It wasn't

449
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 6: I just feel like he was trying to to sabotage

450
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 6: my back. He's just trying to give his team in

451
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 6: this pitch the advantage if you fail for it. That

452
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 6: was on you. So I already knew the game coming

453
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 6: in U faced him, So I didn't mind. But Schward

454
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 6: was just in there sharing the story back in fifteen

455
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 6: where you were down in Atlanta and I guess, uh,

456
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 6: pitch it through a ball right down the middle. You know,

457
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 6: you didn't care about framing. It was right down the middle,

458
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 6: and he called it a ball and you and you

459
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 6: stand up. And this where AJ got away with murder.

460
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 6: He would never look at the empire. He would stand up.

461
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 6: Sometimes he'd hold he kind of like fake pump and

462
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 6: he's still talking. He'd throw it back and he's talking

463
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 6: trash umpire. But Schwarve said, you got that as a

464
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 6: ball or you touched it up part you got that

465
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 6: as a ball he's like, yeah, well you didn't give

466
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 6: me a good look at it, and you turned around

467
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 6: and lost it and said, give you a good look

468
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 6: at it. That ball's right down and bleep the middle.

469
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 6: What do you mean, give you a good look at it?

470
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 6: And those were things that as a player, as a hitter,

471
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 6: you hear that. You hear fighting for his picture, but

472
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 6: it's getting in your head because you're like, well, I

473
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 6: saw it as a ball. And if you and if

474
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 6: you don't have the courage to say something either back there,

475
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 6: they're like, hey, that's enough for the umpire like, no,

476
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 6: you got it right, which I would, and I'm gonna

477
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 6: catch a fight for something. I'm like, no, you got

478
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 6: it right. You made the right call. Because he's doing

479
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 6: the same thing for his picture, so if you take

480
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 6: it the wrong way, obviously got under your skin. And

481
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 6: don't get me wrong, I've seen him do some stuff

482
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 6: or you know on ESPN, you know kind of get

483
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 6: some things like that. But for me, for me, I

484
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 6: was okay with I'm like because it's all gamesmanship. So

485
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 6: I never had a problem with Aj even today, you know,

486
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 6: I Sam's like was up and we started together. He

487
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 6: started a little bit before me. But TV, so it's

488
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 6: it's all competitive bancer.

489
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 5: All right, let's let's dig into your team.

490
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:02,239
Speaker 6: Now.

491
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 5: I know you play for some other teams.

492
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 6: But yes, you're a Philly. You're a Philly.

493
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 5: Your blood runs deep for Philly. Can they win it.

494
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 6: All this year? Anybody can? Anybody can win it all?

495
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 6: I think they definitely have the pieces to do it.

496
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 6: They have the team to do it. They've been there.

497
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 6: But I'd be remiss if I didn't say I feel

498
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 6: the NL runs through l A. That's that's just what

499
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 6: it is. I mean, first of all, you have to

500
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 6: come out the National League to even get to the

501
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 6: World Series. And what the Dodgers have done, They've put

502
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 6: themselves in position that they're gonna make it very hard

503
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 6: for anybody to beat them. Now they're gonna lose games,

504
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 6: They're gonna lose series. Do the Phillies have what it takes? Yes.

505
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 6: I love the fact that they have for good starting staff.

506
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 6: They had a good starting staff last year. Then you

507
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 6: add a Lozardo to it this year. I think that's formidable.

508
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 6: It's always a question about the back end. It's it's

509
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 6: it's been like even when I was here. That's how

510
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 6: far back it goes. We have Brad Legge for some

511
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 6: years and matching the Brad JC match into Brad Ledge

512
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 6: for a few years after that. It was always kind

513
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 6: of mixing match and they still have that going on now.

514
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 6: So I don't know what it is about, you know,

515
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 6: being a relief pitcher for the Phillies. But if they

516
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 6: sew that up, they could find themselves winning a lot

517
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 6: of games. But I still think right now it goes

518
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 6: through the NL until it's proven otherwise the Dodgers in

519
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 6: the n L till it's proven otherwise you did it.

520
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: How hard is it to go back to back World Series?

521
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 6: Oh? I guess looking back at it, it was hard.

522
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 6: But when you're in it and you believe it, you're

523
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 6: supposed to be there. And I think that's the mentality

524
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 6: you have to have as a winning player, that when

525
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 6: you get there one time, you know we won, and

526
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 6: then we end up losing and then we never got back,

527
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,239
Speaker 6: but always felt like we were supposed to be there.

528
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 6: We put ourselves in position, we made the moves up

529
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 6: top as far as the staff and the players that

530
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 6: they would bring over to be in a World Series.

531
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 6: But we only got there twice. But that's mentality you

532
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 6: have to have, like we're supposed to be here until

533
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 6: you're eliminated or you at all?

534
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 5: What'd you say when you guys won? Now we don't

535
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 5: have to hear about the eighty three team anymore.

536
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 6: We want to hear about the nineteen eighty Phillies because

537
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 6: and I tell that the Bryce. I tell that the Bryce.

538
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 6: I've told them playing signs. If you don't want to

539
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 6: hear about oh eight, go win it true because I

540
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 6: felt the same way, like I got tired of hearing

541
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 6: about nineteen eighty, like that I was born in seventy eight.

542
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 6: I don't want to hear about the guys that played

543
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 6: in eighty. I love them. I knew Mike Schmidt, I

544
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 6: learned about Larry Bow. I was like, I have to go,

545
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 6: you know, and that's who I was chasing. But in

546
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 6: order for you to create your own legacy, go create it.

547
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 6: If you don't want to hear about the OA team,

548
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 6: go win. They'll talk about you guys, and then you

549
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 6: tell the next generation. If y'all don't want to hear

550
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 6: about the twenty twenty five Phillies, go win. And you

551
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 6: started all over so that that that's what was a

552
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 6: driving factor for me, And I told Boa when he

553
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 6: was my manager. We started at the VET. You know,

554
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,479
Speaker 6: they won it all in eighty. They had to seventy eight,

555
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 6: seventy nine, winning eighty lost eight three, but they were

556
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 6: that they were a team. And I told them, this

557
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 6: is the house that you built when they built that

558
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 6: place next door, that's gonna be the house that I built.

559
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 6: And we got there. We create our own legs. You

560
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 6: can see in that building and it's going to be

561
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 6: here for a while now. So for the guys that

562
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 6: come after you, you can ask that legacy. You don't

563
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 6: want them to talk about us, Go win it, and

564
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 6: I encourage them to do it all the time. Go win.

565
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 6: Don't let them talk about us. You should be tired

566
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 6: about it, heard them about it. So you felt the

567
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 6: same way.

568
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: What year did you think you guys should have won it?

569
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: Going going through that time? Besides eight obviously, eight nine.

570
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 6: And eleven ten, the giants, I just they were just

571
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 6: a team on a mission. They were I mean, they

572
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 6: got some young guns that came up there, and and

573
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 6: and a whole bunch of guys that were kind of

574
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 6: you know, throwaways, were teams were kind of you know,

575
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 6: trading them off. We did not sign them back, and

576
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 6: they all took that personally. Obviously they went out there

577
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 6: and won, and the ten, twelve, fourteen we know about

578
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 6: the history of it. But in eleven, I felt that,

579
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 6: you know, that was our last chance. We were the

580
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 6: best team in baseball. I felt one hundred and two

581
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 6: and sixty or something like that. But we had one

582
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 6: opstate and we knew it. It was the Saint Louis Cardinals.

583
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 6: We knew that. I mean when we when we won

584
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 6: on the last day, which the Braves you know, kind

585
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 6: of ended up giving us that game that made an

586
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 6: airon and I think it was like Brooks Cronk Conrad

587
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 6: booted the ball and we ended up winning. Saint Louis

588
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 6: got in. We're like, if we get past them, we

589
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 6: went it off. That's that's how we felt. But we

590
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 6: knew the type of team they were in playoffs. They

591
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 6: were a team built for the playoffs. They had management,

592
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 6: they have staff, that confidence. They had just won it

593
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 6: five and we just didn't get out that series. But

594
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,200
Speaker 6: I would say eight to nine, although we lost nine

595
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 6: and eleven, were definitely the years that we probably had

596
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 6: a chance to if we didn't get three for sure.

597
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 6: Two rings.

598
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 5: Two fan questions for you. One the best game or

599
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 5: your favorite game you ever played in?

600
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 6: The favorite game I ever played in? Wow? I mean, okay,

601
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 6: I'll exclude the World Series because those are all specially

602
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 6: anything in the playoffs. No, but I'll go back to

603
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 6: two thousand and seven, and because that was the first

604
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 6: year we actually made it to the playoffs. It was

605
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 6: the last game of the season. Whatever two. We played

606
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 6: a series at home against the match We had a

607
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 6: four game set, and the last game of that series,

608
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 6: Billy Wagner, Chase Udley, Tadahitoe Guca. I think so on

609
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 6: a second, and if we don't win, we really have

610
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 6: no chance of chasing them down. Chase gets a game

611
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 6: winning single and we complete the sweep, and we knew

612
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 6: we were in business. We were like three games out

613
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 6: with a week left. Still it's going to take a miracle,

614
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 6: but without that we don't get there. So that happens,

615
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 6: and then the game we actually clinched the playoffs where

616
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 6: in Philly we're playing the Nationals. We come out, the

617
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 6: Mets are down five nothing early to the Marlins, and

618
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 6: all have to do they win, they're in there's nothing

619
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 6: we can do, but we're in the cluboufs because that's

620
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 6: before everybody out started the same time. So we had

621
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 6: a one to thirty five start, they had like a

622
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 6: one to ten start, and you hear the crowd, they're

623
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 6: just roaring and stomping, and the TV's are off because

624
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 6: we don't wanted to let that get into our psyche

625
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 6: because we justill have to handle business. If they lose

626
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 6: and we lose, they go on. And so we're getting

627
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 6: dressed and I'm putting my uniform and I'm never out

628
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 6: super early, but I kick myself because he's tracking up

629
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 6: with that. So I'm never up super early. But the

630
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 6: TVs aren't on, but I want to go see what's happening.

631
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 6: I want to believe it's good, but I don't want

632
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 6: to get caught up in that because we still have

633
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 6: a job to do. So we come out as five nothing.

634
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 6: We end up beating the Nationals, clinching the division for

635
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 6: the first time since ninety three, and it was just

636
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 6: like we finally got here. Now with short lived we

637
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 6: were three and done, but just the fact that we

638
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 6: med to the playoffs, we kind of took that monkey

639
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 6: off our back. The game against the Mets and then

640
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 6: the Mets losing us winning the last game of the

641
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 6: series that clinch the playoffs. Outside of obviously winning the

642
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 6: World Series, those are probably the two most exciting games

643
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,719
Speaker 6: that I've been a part of. That's awesome.

644
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 4: I love that all right, So I have a question

645
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 4: then on you know how much swag you brought? Kratz

646
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 4: was talking about it before. Okay, now let's fast forward

647
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 4: to now, right, twenty twenty five? Yeap, how do we

648
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 4: keep baseball in the national stratosphere more like it was

649
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 4: not even thirty years ago, right like even ten years ago?

650
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 4: Why why is it getting kicked to the curb by

651
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 4: so many?

652
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 6: Right?

653
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 4: And there's some people that are going to watch It's like, no,

654
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,959
Speaker 4: the game's fine, the game's fine, but just national attention,

655
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 4: especially for a younger audience. We tried to do this

656
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 4: every day. But what's your take on maybe what's missing

657
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 4: now or how the competition is thriving as well other

658
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 4: sports and other options.

659
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 6: I honestly think it's it is. It is starting to

660
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 6: come back. Obviously the game is. For a while, it

661
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 6: wasn't exciting. There was there There was just home runs

662
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 6: and strikeounts. There was nothing in between. We saw show

663
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 6: Hey go fifty to fifty last year. The year before

664
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 6: that come you went like what forty seventy or whatever

665
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 6: it was. So those things that were more skill based

666
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 6: are starting to come back into the game. We we

667
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 6: sped up the game. We have we have the pitch clock,

668
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 6: like called the shot club, but we have the pitch clock.

669
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 6: Those things that are shortening up the end of the game.

670
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 6: And I think because that fans are starting to come back.

671
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 6: We were losing fans, a lot of fans the last

672
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 6: parts of the game, and I think that's where real

673
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 6: baseball fans really, you know, tend to hang around to

674
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 6: see the finish of the game. But yet still, you know,

675
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 6: the other sports are sexy. I mean, who doesn't want

676
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 6: to talk about Patrick mahonmes. Who doesn't want to talk

677
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 6: about Lebron James or or Kyrie Irving when when he

678
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 6: when he's on And it's comparing them to Alan Iverson

679
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 6: and his handles, uh sg a who I watched play

680
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 6: last night, Like they're exciting. You get to see their faces.

681
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 6: They have the ball, you know, in the crucial moments.

682
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 6: Baseball is in the game where you can put up

683
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 6: your best pitcher or your best batter when the game

684
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 6: is on the line. The other sports your quarterback, can

685
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 6: you know me, me and Kelsey. Look, it's this me

686
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 6: and you and into until we score sg A. You're

687
00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 6: gonna take You're taking the last shot. Yes, but look

688
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 6: the golden bat rule is kind of weird, but it

689
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 6: might do something. It is weird, But the other sports

690
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 6: they get to do that. They get to put their

691
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 6: best player in the prime time every single time. To

692
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 6: go to State Warriors. Who's my team, Steph Curry. You

693
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 6: know he's getting a shot. It may be at half

694
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 6: court and he's probably gonna make it. You kind of

695
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 6: expect that. And baseball it is like, look, bro, you're

696
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 6: getting up in a sixth in and you might get

697
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 6: one more bet if things work out well, that you

698
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 6: get your best batter up there with the game on

699
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 6: the line. So you can't you can't force that in baseball.

700
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 6: So I think that's what makes those sports sexy, that

701
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 6: they're star driven, where baseball is starting to become more

702
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 6: of that. It's always been about the name on the front,

703
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 6: not the name on the back, and the other sports

704
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 6: have recognized if you have a star, we want to

705
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 6: promote that star. Yes, people are gonna follow that team

706
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 6: because of that player, but they're more than likely going

707
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 6: to buy that person's jersey, follow that person because they

708
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 6: like that person in that moment, and baseball you just

709
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 6: can't force that.

710
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: You mean, if Bryce Harper came up in the eighth

711
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: inning in a playoff game against the other team's club

712
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: and hit an opposite field dinger, you mean that type

713
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: of like super big moment.

714
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 6: Yes, don't get me wrong, they happen. That happens, and

715
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 6: that's the beauty of it. Like when they happen, they're

716
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 6: so special because because circumstance put these two guys in

717
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 6: that situation, where, like I said, in the other sports,

718
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 6: you can make a guy be in that situation. Last

719
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 6: shout of again, we're gonna run some screens or you know,

720
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 6: we're gonna run some cross routes and the tight end

721
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 6: or running basket gonna come out the field and may

722
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 6: do a reverse jump over a linebacker's head like Saquan.

723
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 6: You know, you can put guys in that situation. But

724
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 6: in baseball, it just happens. As you talk about that

725
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 6: San Diego, and I was I was really happy about

726
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 6: that about I was jumping around. We're in Uh, I

727
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 6: forgot where we were. I think we're in New York

728
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 6: covering the game, and I'm like, bro, that was a

729
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 6: moment for Bryce, like that that was my I thought

730
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 6: my walk off doubles. I walk off double was exciting,

731
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 6: but I was more excited about that. I think it's

732
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 6: always more exciting, as you know, when you're watching other

733
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 6: people do it. When you do it, it's like I

734
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 6: did the job, and yes, you're celebrating, but I did

735
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 6: the job. When you watch, somebody was like, yo, that's

736
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 6: that's why, and it's different. So yeah, but those moments,

737
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 6: as you said, Ala Bryce, they happened. My moment in

738
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 6: O nine, it happened. Things had to work out perfectly

739
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 6: for me to get that at BET. Things have to

740
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 6: work out perfectly for that situation to come down with Bryce.

741
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 6: And that's what makes baseball special. But the other sports

742
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 6: a sexy because you can continuously put a guy in

743
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 6: that position to be successful.

744
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: All right, Last one, Jimmy more of a story and

745
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: more of like a thank you kind of thing. Twenty eleven,

746
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: I signed with the team. I'm in spring training. You know,

747
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: you go play, guys, go play in the B game.

748
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: I went and played in the B game. I hit

749
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: a dinger against Chad Cordero, chief he was at the

750
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: end of his career. It was the last that bad.

751
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: You know. It might even been like the sixth inning

752
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: of the B game, right there on the field, right

753
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: behind you. And I was walking in and you go, hey,

754
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: I heard you hit a homer. He goes, you go,

755
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: good job, because you were in the cage taking your

756
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: thousand swings and he always took you go, you go,

757
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: good job, you go. Just be ready. Chuck was watching

758
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: the home run and he told me you hit a

759
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: home run. He always puts the dudes that hit a

760
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: home run in the game on the big field. And

761
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, fifth inning, I'm down in

762
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: the bullpen. The phone rings. It's Chuck. He's like, hey,

763
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: get crashed down here. He's gonna pinch hit. You got

764
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: me ready. I got an opportunity, and that day I

765
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: actually hit a home run. And I think those little

766
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: moments help guys who are on the fringe, like be noticed.

767
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: I didn't make the team until way late in the

768
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: season that year I was in Triple A, but it

769
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: helps those little things. So appreciate you, Jay Row.

770
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 6: Thank you man. I appreciate it, but yeah, and it

771
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 6: goes to show you never know who's watching. And they

772
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 6: say that and we take that as a cliche you

773
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,600
