You were in 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:44.760 the crowd watching. 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.800 Did you have to buy a ticket or did Yeppie 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.120 get you your pass list? 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:50.480 No? 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.560 I buy I think I got a funny story about 0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:55.520 that because we were in spring training and like I 0:02:55.680 --> 0:03:00.320 was waiting for Alice Gorda send the schedule for the 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.640 next day. So I wasn't playing, so I take a 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.320 trip to from four my years to Miami, like two hours, 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:08.720 two hours and a half. 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.040 If I was starting the next day. 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.480 I don't want to travel to that game, you know, 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.079 like I get a basically day off the next day. 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:17.960 So I traveled to Miami to watch the game, to 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.200 watch the guys. And it was funny because like all 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.800 the American people ask us, like why we're chanting when 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:28.720 every USA hitter has to strike, We're basically call him 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.720 punches or punching in English is a strikeout. So like 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:35.880 the entire stadium like chanting strike out every time the 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:37.520 USA player has two strikes. 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:38.240 That was cool. 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.120 Did you go with anybody? Was it just you? 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:47.200 My cousin, So he gets signed with the Tigers, he 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.280 played three years and then get released and he's living 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:51.320 in Miami right now. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.440 Did anybody recognize you because you're I mean, you've been 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.440 a big league for a long time. Even playing with 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.920 the Red Sox in spring training there's a lot of Venezuela's. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:01.160 Did they recognize you? 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:03.440 So I'm trying to be low key. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.440 You know, I got my hoodie, but like some people 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.480 recognize me, some people reorganize me. 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:12.760 You probably had a nice hoodie, probably like maybe some 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.159 Docia Cabana hoodie with some glasses. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:20.520 No, no, I never buy those type of clothes.

Did 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.080 you since you were not playing the next day, did 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:46.080 you go out with the Venezuela team after they won 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.120 the championship? Because I heard they had any decent parties. 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:50.919 You didn't go to the party afterwards? 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:51.800 Nah? 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.680 So I was in the group shot, you know, like 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:59.279 I was part of like the team before, like the 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:03.160 official So it wasn't like the sixty seventy. 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.039 Players whatever they call like what's up group. 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.880 But I didn't make the roster because like Omar Lopez said, like, oh, 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:10.760 I just get trade. 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.960 You know, you focus on the on your new team. 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.039 They don't know you as well, like the Brewers, you know, 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:22.320 like those kinds of things like happens before spring training 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.880 or like before you get trade, and like that's why 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.039 the reason I didn't make the roster, that was Omar 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:29.839 Lopez tell me. 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:35.200 And like I didn't.

I love the pride of the country. 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:45.000 Yeah, especially especially the other It's like America is finally 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.720 catching up with the other countries as far as how 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.080 much this means to people. 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.480 So it's it's it's an awesome turn. I love it was 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.640 great now we could now we can talk red SOX. Yeah. 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.040 Well, and also the transition, So, like you mentioned, Omar 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.640 Lopez said, hey, you've got traded focus on that. So, 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.320 so what was that like for you? I mean, you 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.960 spent your first few years with the Brewers. That's a 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:07.120 well run machine that's been very successful. You head over 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:09.120 to Boston. What's it been like for you? Like, what 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.280 are some similarities differences. I can give you one easy 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:15.920 one to start with. Nobody in baseball is like Pat Murphy. 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:17.600 He comes up on the show all the time with 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.160 all of his funny quotes. So no matter what, it's 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:21.960 going to be different because you don't have a guy 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:22.800 cracking jokes. 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:23.640 What's it been like? 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:30.240 So my story is like I was in Florida doing 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:36.559 my off season work and then I traveled to arisona Saturday, 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.440 so I shoot my car, I travel there, I do 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.360 all my stuff. I get there Saturday, and then Monday 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.920 morning I get trade. So I was in Florida and 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.440 then travel to Arizona to report to like brew versus 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:53.160 Sprint training and two days after that, I have to 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.360 come back to Florida because I get trade. And I 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.160 was like I was ready. I was driving to the 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:02.120 company something they called me. Guy from the front office 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.360 called me like, oh you you get trade. And I 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.120 had to come back to my home waiting for Craig 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.240 Bridgelow call me. On AC called me. Those guy from 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.640 the Rexes called me. And then I picked all my 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.800 stuff in the Brewers compass. And then the next day 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:18.160 I traveled to Form Life. So I for either artists 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.520 on artists on not Florida in like three days spent 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:21.440 something like that. 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:23.880 How hard? How hard was it? 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.160 You're going to a new organization you talked about ac 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.439 and then you're there for a month and a half 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.360 and the new manager in the new organization that you're 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:37.640 just joined gets fired? How hard is that transition been 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.080 the whole time, not just from him getting fired but 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:41.439 then into the organization. 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:43.720 Yeah, so how you said? 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.160 So I basically I am new here, you know, I 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.480 just have like two months or two months and a half. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.959 So yeah, for every guy, was like tough, but it's 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.160 something like you can't control, you know, so like this 0:09:54.280 --> 0:09:56.480 part of business or you have to like move forward, 0:09:56.520 --> 0:09:59.760 and like we have we have a meeting like after 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.080 that day in Baltimore, and like we keep going. So 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.560 I think the guy is playing better and also like 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.360 we want to be fine. I think we want to 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.760 play in October. And I believe in my guys. I'm 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:12.959 like I pull all my best on my guy. Well, 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.080 like the thing is like it's something that you cannot 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.600 have on mind because it's something you can control us 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.040 a player, you can control that. 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.760 But it's tough, but like you know, you have to 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.200 move forward. 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:25.079 Do you have a rule where you always have to 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.280 play with the contrarast So you had William and now 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.640 you're playing with Wilson. What are those two like in 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:34.000 terms of similarities and differences. I mean, you know, Wilson's 0:10:34.000 --> 0:10:36.320 having a great year and his transition to first base 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.200 has been great the last few years. But also you know, 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.240 he's loud, he's eccentric. He often is part of our 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.160 show in terms of a news or storyline that we hit, 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:48.040 you know, with him going back and forth with teams. 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.360 We love it because he stands out. 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.280 So it's cool, you know, like you never like when 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.600 you sign on, when you when you are in the 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:00.680 minor league, you never expected like playing with brothers. And 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.080 also like they are pretty good players, you know, but 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.800 like I think they are different a little bit. I 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:11.600 think they are different. So Wilson, it's I think it's 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:14.080 a little more funny than than William. William is like 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:18.400 Roki his war like he's a hard worker. I think 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:22.520 like Williams. I think they are they are like hard workers. 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.280 But I think Williams is like a little hard workers 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:27.400 and him I remember, like we didn't invite me to 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.040 the Geen like fight during the morning and said, williamt 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:33.120 come on, bro, so fight during the morning spring training, 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.839 you know, like I know, like Williams, so you know 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.320 we're gonna play. So by myself, I have to be 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.880 ready every day when Patmorphy ed me in spring training, 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.160 so like William made his own schedule, so I have 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:45.120 to be ready every day. 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.520 And William can't come bro, like fight fight in the morning, 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:49.360 and he gets mad at me. 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.440 But like, so that's something like you like as a teammate, 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.920 you will say, oh, this guy, you know he's gonna 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.000 be good. You know he's gonna be great when he 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.680 when his career is down, you know. And it's something 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:05.839 I said, like he asking me to join him to 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:06.439 be great. 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:07.319 You know that's cool. 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.719 So wait, does does Wilson not ask you to join him? Now? 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.520 Just William? What I mean? Did they not talk to me? 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:19.080 Maybe maybe he's not doing oh yeah, maybe he's not 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:22.720 at five am. But I mean, yeah, Wilson. 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:28.120 So with Williams in the Brewers, like I hit him within, well, 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.400 I don't join him in the weight room by hitting 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.920 with him. And I do the same with William here 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.599 Wilson here, I hitting with him in the cage and 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:39.520 always asking Wilson about like hitting because I want to improve. 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:43.520 Like part of my on, my join on my wholeshold 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:45.440 every day is like I want to be better because 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.560 I know where I come from, so. 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:48.720 Nobody believe on me. 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.840 When I was sixteen years old, so my last royale 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.319 when I was signed by the Cups with five K, 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:59.360 and then I remember the guy having in the academy. 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:00.480 Said that this is your last right. Yeah, if you 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.000 don't sign, you go home. So like. 0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:08.120 Dane Lower, I get my sign when I was sixteen, 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.680 and now I'm here, you know, like he's a blessing. 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:15.640 And also it's something like I can't I come here 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:18.760 with nothing and now I'll believe you know, like nobody, 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:23.080 no everybody can say if you're playing the buildings, I 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:23.520 love that. 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.360 I love that, and I love that we know that 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.920 story now too. But you were you were part of 0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:32.800 both sides of the Wilson contrares getting mad about getting hit. 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.400 You were you were you watched him get hit when 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.640 you played for the Brewers, and then you watched him 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.440 get hit and get mad with the Red Sox. 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.079 Did he confide in you? Did he talk to you 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.720 at all? After that? And like, hey, you remember every 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:45.560 time that he hit me? 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:51.320 So when I when I get to the Brewers, that 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:55.120 was his first year with the Cardinals. I think his 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:58.679 first or second year with the Cardinals. So like I 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.360 think the the issues coming when he played with the Cops. 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.680 So I don't know the entire story about it, but 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:08.680 like when he gets hit by here in Boston is 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.959 because like he said, like the brew would hit him 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.760 like forty times, you know, like it's like how many 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.520 times you want to hit me again and again? You know, 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.200 but like it's something like everybody can get mad when 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.680 you get like thrill every time, but it's nothing after that. 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.560 You know, that was the day and after that we 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:30.960 don't talking about that because I think, I like, that's 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.320 the moment you know, when like you get hot all 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:33.800 the stuff. 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.080 Wait, would you who would you have fought though? Who 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.320 would you have fought on the Brewers? If you guys 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.960 would have really fought after all that? Who would you 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:43.800 would you have picked one guy in the Brewers who 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.400 was the one guy was a Ben William Catz. 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.080 You would have been like, I'm standing up for your brother. 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.360 You have fought? Would you have gone after. 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.320 You ask me? You ask me who I fight?

Because I always felt like Fenway 0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.440 had just incredible energy, whether the Red Sox were good 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.439 or they were bad.

So in twenty twenty four I 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.680 come here with the Brewers. I didn't have the chance 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.120 to play, to be on the field, but I saw 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:23.560 the almost fear here. 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:24.720 It's amazing. 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.200 On like the a inning with the with the sound 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:32.280 they have here, that's amazing. Sweet Carolina is amazing. That's 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:36.320 something like Monday till Sundays back. You know it's back 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.480 it and like that's amazing. And I always the fan here, 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:43.080 like when you have like the parking here outside the clubhouse, 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:45.439 when you want to pick your car, is the fence 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:49.320 over there, Like they recognize you, Like I'm also the 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:53.280 Rexes fans are like when five years old to like 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.639 sixty seventy eighties old, so like it's all all the 0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:00.800 generations like Rexes fans, like all the Rexs all around 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:01.160 the CD. 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.560 I like they're recognize you. That's pretty cool. 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.040 Oh yeah, it is deeply in the fabric of the city. 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:11.160 I have one more for you. This has a little 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.560 bit of relation to what we're talking about with with 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:16.800 abnue eBay, but but it's a bigger picture question for you. 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:17.640 So he did his thing. 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.560 Murph didn't like it, but the whole backstory was that 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.679 they thought, you know, they were they were getting a 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.040 tip or signs or whatever. It is, right, that stuff 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.040 happens all the time. So I'm just asking you a 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.240 general baseball question. How how much is that a part 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:35.760 of the everyday game right now? Where you know, one 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.480 side chirping at the other that they're taking a sign. 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.720 Because also we've talked about this, AJ can jump in 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.160 for a second. Nowadays, Sometimes guy's standing on second base 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.680 and he's just like, I'm going to do this when 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.520 I see a slider grip and then otherwise I'll be 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:51.840 here if it's fastball. So it's changed a lot in 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:53.760 the sport, even in the last few years since you 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:55.040 were in the majors. 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.600 So I think that's something like one hundred percent of 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:02.720 the game. So, uh, I was part of Brewers and 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:04.720 now I'm part of the wrexas, Like we have our 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:08.000 heaters meetings every day, and like the Haters meeting, you 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:12.440 got something from somebody speaching, you know, so like stealing 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:19.000 a basis keeping a second, what else, like something like 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:21.919
