You kind of saw the 59 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 4: the start of it last year, and hopefully I can, uh, 60 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 4: you know, help you know, lock down the back end 61 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 4: of things and make a little make a little more 62 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 4: noise and get on the right side of five hundred 63 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 4: and and make a little bit of a push. 64 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: Now, when you became that free agent, I know you 65 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 2: picked the Marlins, but was there any other teams that 66 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: were on your tail that you were looking like, Oh man, 67 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 2: it's I could go one way or another here. 68 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 4: Yeah, there was more than a handful that we had, 69 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 4: you know, pretty good, pretty decent conversations with and then 70 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 4: you know, kind of by the end we the more 71 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 4: that my wife and I talked about it the more 72 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 4: and more likely. You know, it seemed like that Miami 73 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 4: was going to be going to be the right fit 74 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 4: for us, and we were able to, I think, both 75 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 4: get what we wanted out of it. 76 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 5: Does being a closer matter to you? Does being the 77 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 5: guy that is the high leverage inning guy? Does that 78 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 5: matter when you're going through free agency for your first time? 79 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 4: I mean, I think it matters in some regard, right, 80 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 4: Like I think that you know, when you do it 81 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 4: for you know, however many years, you definitely you know it, 82 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 4: definitely you hold a little hold on to a little 83 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 4: bit of that. But I think, you know, sometimes the 84 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 4: most important outs are in the ninth inning, right, they 85 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 4: could be earlier, right, those the your eight, your twenty four, 86 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 4: twenty five, twenty six, twenty seven, those are still, in 87 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 4: my estimation, the hardest out outs to get, but they 88 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 4: might not be the most important ones. 89 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: So you know, wherever wherever. 90 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 4: It is to to get those outs, you know, I'm 91 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 4: excited to be up to that challenge again after you know, 92 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 4: doing a little bit of it for quite a few 93 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 4: years with Tampa. 94 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, you did a little bit of it, that's for sure, 95 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 5: in some big spots and you were pretty pretty successful. 96 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 5: Here's my question. I'm going to put you in a scenario. Okay, 97 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 5: Game one, you guys are winning four to three, and 98 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 5: you get out on the mound, you do your you know, 99 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 5: your stare where you're not blinking at all, and you 100 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 5: look into the dugout or you're listening. I mean you 101 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 5: look into the catcher's mitt. You know, he's looking for 102 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 5: his sign and you're listening, and your catcher's going like this, 103 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 5: looking over and then he hits the button and you're like, what, 104 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 5: wait a minute, nobody's on and he looks over again 105 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 5: for the next pitch. Oh wait a minute. Are you 106 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 5: okay with the guys from the bench calling the pitches 107 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 5: for you? And did that come up when you had 108 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 5: this conversation with the pitching guy, which with Clayton McCalla 109 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 5: of the manager. 110 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we definitely talked about it right as 111 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 4: one of the one of the things that was addressed. 112 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 4: And for me, you know, catcher versus dougout, they're almost 113 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 4: kind of the same in my eyes. It's not me 114 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: that's making the initial decisions. So where it comes from 115 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 4: isn't as big a thing, right because I know they 116 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 4: get theirs as long as I get it and plenty 117 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 4: of in enough time to be able to shape to 118 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 4: something that I say I disagree with, Say it's fastball, 119 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 4: I want slider, whatever, as long as I have enough 120 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 4: time to get to that still be able to do 121 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 4: my little, my little rock back and forth antics come 122 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 4: set and throw. 123 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: Then you know that's that's no issue to me.

So I definitely say the 176 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 4: familiarity definitely makes things easier right when you're you know, 177 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 4: looking for for a landing spot, Knowing what you're going 178 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 4: to get from the people in charge, definitely, you know, 179 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 4: can make a transition that much easier in my eyes. 180 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: How does it feel you know your free agent? This 181 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: year you finally you know, got your deal or whatever. 182 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: How does it feel now next year you're going to 183 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: be free agent too? Does that change your mindset on anything? 184 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: Or is it the same kind of focus you have, 185 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 2: same outcome, same kind of goals that you have going 186 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 2: on into this year. 187 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's all it's all the same, right, 188 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 4: We're still trying to not give up any runs and 189 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 4: win baseball games, and now you know we're doing it 190 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 4: with with a different color steam on. But you know 191 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 4: we're gonna approach it just like we did last year 192 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 4: and go out and lock some games down and then 193 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 4: hopefully repeat the whole process again next December. 194 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: So you spent seven seasons, including that your first season, 195 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: I know, a little Texas and then Tampa Bay seven 196 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: seasons with the Race. Brandon Lau spent eight seasons with 197 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: the Race. Both are now gone over the last few weeks. 198 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: That's a really really long tenured Ray. What is the 199 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: key to longevity with the Rays? Like for a player 200 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: on the Rays right now who's like, you know what, 201 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: I just got a sick house on the beach. 202 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 3: I love it. 203 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: How do I stay here for a team that basically 204 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: turns their whole roster over every three years aside from 205 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: one or two guys. 206 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's I'm not sure how I figured out 207 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 4: of all the people that I expected to stay there 208 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 4: for a long time. I didn't expect myself to be 209 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 4: on that list just given uh, you know, the bullpen arms. 210 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 3: We typically are the ones that are the most have 211 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 3: the most turnovers there. 212 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't know, find some success and hope 213 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 4: for the best is typically what we were doing. 214 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: I have the answer, you sign an extension if they 215 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: offer you one and get a no trade clause in there. 216 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: But they don't really do that, so otherwise I don't know. 217 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: But I mean, actually that does make sense, right because 218 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: Bilaud did do that. 219 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 3: I forgot. 220 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: He did actually sign an extension really early on in 221 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: his career and then kept getting the club options picked up. 222 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: So that would be the answer, right, Hey, yeah, those 223 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: early extension offers be. 224 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 3: Cost controlled, be cost Yes. 225 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: That is the way exactly I like it. 226 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 5: All right, go ahead, rats, So you're leaving the American 227 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 5: League East. I kind of have a two part question here, 228 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 5: but it kind of coincides which stadium are you're gonna 229 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 5: miss the most and which one are you going to 230 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 5: miss the least. 231 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 3: I would say everyone to miss Boston both the most 232 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 3: and the least. Oh, go ahead, explain because you get 233 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 3: outs that aren't outs there. But it's also like a 234 00:10:58,760 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 3: great ballpark in. 235 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 5: Atmosphe nothing to do with nothing to do with the fact, 236 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 5: Oh right, what were you just say? Oh, nothing to 237 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 5: do with the fact that when you put your arm 238 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 5: up that a fan can actually touch your arm when 239 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 5: you're warming up. It has nothing to do with that. 240 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, knocking to miss the bullpen. 241 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 4: Or hitting my head in the dugout whenever I would 242 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 4: walk down the steps and i'd like go to like 243 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 4: the bench, and it's so short that without fail, I 244 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 4: was either fired up in a positive or negative way. 245 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 4: And I hit my head on that so many times. 246 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 4: But yeah, I mean it's a great atmosphere, fun place 247 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 4: to play. The bullpen suckers, So you know it's positives 248 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 4: and negatives. 249 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 5: That's fair. So I'm taking you to your new stadium. 250 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 5: What do you think about the home run statue that's 251 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 5: now outside? Should they move it back inside? 252 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 3: You know I'm always down for a home run gimmick. 253 00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 4: However, I think the statue serves a great purpose on 254 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 4: display outside where I don't have to see it as much. 255 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 5: What if it was a strikeout statue and. 256 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 3: Let's bring it right back inside, right back inside. 257 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 4: If it goes up every time somebody punches a ticket, 258 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 4: let's get that back in there as soon as possible. 259 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 5: Anything for k Dogg's I like it. 260 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 3: I like it. That's right. 261 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 5: Hey. 262 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: Last one for me, Pete. Have you spoken to anybody 263 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: on this team? Did anyone reach out, whether it's from 264 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: a coaching or player perspective, and if so, can you 265 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: give us any unique insight that you learned so far? 266 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: We know it's a very young team and you have 267 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: the Peter Bendix connection, who was in the front office 268 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: with the Rays and now is trying to make his 269 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: raise version of the Marlins here. 270 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, has some people reach out.
