Speaker 2: I got a phone call.

00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: Perhaps the signing.

00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe Alex Pragman. He's gonna break the Alex Bregman

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 3: signing on our show.

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna take a little more time.

10
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 4: Maybe not, maybe not.

11
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 5: We'll ask him about it.

12
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: Let's get him.

13
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: I think he's ready to go. Alex Cora joining us

Speaker 4: How much?

18
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 3: What you just signed Bragman for? You got a phone call?

19
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 3: I thought that was Bregman calling you, saying going back

20
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: five years.

21
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 4: Two million, the only person that calls me baseball wise

22
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 4: is Joey your favorite krah Where about it?

23
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: By the way, before we even dig into this, he is,

24
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 3: and it's it's Jose. By the way, it's not Joey.

25
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: If people that know him know it's Jose. Okay, So,

26
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: but I just went last year, I text both of

27
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 3: y'all and I said, who's getting bregnant? I text you

28
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 3: guys separate and you both set back? Is that meant

29
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: for the other? Korra brother? So I don't know if

30
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 3: you guys have like telepathy or if you guys were

31
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: sitting in the same room or.

32
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 4: What, but it ended up being you not in the

33
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 4: same room. And honestly, like free agent conversations, we killed

34
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 4: that one. We don't talk about it because, as you know,

35
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 4: last year, he got to the point that I thought

36
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 4: he was gonna get him. Like you said, you know,

37
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 4: like I hate talking to my brother about free agents

38
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 4: because you never know, you never know.

39
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: That's a fun Thanksgiving.

40
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: So we had we had Joe Spota on yesterday, right,

41
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: and he's married to Brandon Hydes.

42
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 2: Their their brother in laws through marriage.

43
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 5: Right.

44
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: So he said that we can't go together because the

45
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: wives talk too much about baseball and they know more

46
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: than us. So is that like when you and because

47
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: Joey thinks he's the smartest guy in the history of

48
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: the game, So like, when you guys get together, do

49
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: you guys have a who's smarter contest? Because he went

50
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 3: to Vandy and you went to Miami, no offense. Vandy's

51
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 3: a little better than Miami on the smart scale.

52
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 5: I just.

53
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 4: Like I always tell people, I think Joey knows a

54
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 4: lot about the Tigers, and he knows a lot about

55
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: the Red Sox. You know, Like during conversations, I'm like,

56
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 4: hold on, I'm the manager. I know more about our team,

57
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 4: you know. But I gotta be careful. He's still the

58
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: older brother. He's a presence. As you know, he'll stare

59
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: you down and you know that's when you have to

60
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 4: shut up. But I just let him be. You know,

61
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 4: he's still the older brother, So just just be you.

62
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: Joe I love it.

63
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 4: I love it too.

64
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: So aside from talking to Joey about you can talk

65
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: to us about it. What would you like to see

66
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: the Red Sox do this offseason?

67
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 4: Just continue to be aggressive like we were last year.

68
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 4: You know, after the season last year, in November, we

69
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 4: talked about trying to get back to the playoffs. Actually

70
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 4: we talk about winning the division and we needed to

71
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 4: accomplish a few things in the off season, and we did.

72
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 4: We signed Alex, we traded for Cruzchet, we got Chapman,

73
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 4: we got Justin Wilson. So just stay aggressive. Playing three

74
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 4: games in October is not good enough for us. Yeah,

75
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 4: we got a taste. We got back to the playoffs,

76
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: but honestly, from my end, it feels like we actually

77
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 4: didn't play it. It was so like short, right, and yeah,

78
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 4: it was a great accomplished getting back, but we have

79
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: to be better. And I think listening to Craig last

80
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: week in Vegas, he was very very straightforward with what

81
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: we're trying to accomplish. We want to be better from

82
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,119
Speaker 4: the mount, trying to get somebody that we can pair

83
00:03:53,240 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: up with Bayo and Crochet and offensively, we have to improve.

84
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 4: We we have some holes. We showed it last year

85
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 4: towards the end, and hopefully we can do that.

86
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: All right.

87
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: How often do you and brez talk? How often do

88
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 3: you and Craig Brezilo talk? Is it every day? Is

89
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: it twice a day? Is it before night?

90
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 4: It's not every day, It's not every day, you know,

91
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 4: I get a text from him. Obviously he has people

92
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: that worked with him and they connect with me. But

93
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: I'd let him be. Man, it's a tough job. I'm

94
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 4: getting to the point now in my job that if

95
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 4: I get too many updates and every every day I

96
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 4: get anxious, you know, I get a little bit desperate,

97
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: and uh, I don't want to do that. So whenever

98
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 4: we have something moving, cooking, you know, we meeting with

99
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 4: when we meeting with players, we have some meetings. Whenever

100
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 4: that comes up, he lets me know. But I got

101
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: a job to do. My job is to get ready

102
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: for spring training, map out the things that we want

103
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 4: to do. Me and Ramon Vaskis who see here in

104
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 4: Puerto Rico, and uh, while we add during the off season,

105
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 4: we make adjustments.

106
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: Okay, So here more of you just called John Henry

107
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: type of guy you just you skip over, bros.

108
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: I know how see, we know the we know how

109
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: you are. You just skip them. You just John, listen, John, No,

110
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: we need this John.

111
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 5: Thanks.

112
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm gonna go back to the beach though,

113
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: love you.

114
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no. I mean he did an amazing

115
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 4: job last year. I know a lot of people don't

116
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: give you credit, but if you look at the offseason

117
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: we had last year, Chapman, Justin Wilson, Alex Bregman, Garrett Cruche,

118
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 4: three All stars. Wilson was great. So uh let him

119
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 4: be let let let him do the job. Obviously, he

120
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 4: will ask me about how I see it. But at

121
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 4: the end of the day, you know, we we make

122
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 4: decision based on what we have to improve on our

123
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 4: forty men roster and our twenty six men roster, and

124
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 4: hopefully we can do that.

125
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 5: How did you how did you feel your defense was

126
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 5: as a team as a whole for the season, because

127
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 5: you talked about things you need to improve And my

128
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 5: second question will kind of depend on what you how

129
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 5: you answer.

130
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 4: That, Well, we have the best defensive outfield in the

131
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: big leagues if you go by the metrics. And this

132
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: this is a trick question because, uh, two years ago

133
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: or three years ago, although we have led the league

134
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 4: in errors for for three or four years. You know,

135
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: people talk about the metrics, right, Uh, defensive run saves

136
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 4: when we when they talk about the catchers, you know, uh,

137
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 4: framing numbers and all that. Last year, Carlos was really good.

138
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 4: Hard field defense was good. I think as far as

139
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 4: like defensive run staves. We were fifth in the league.

140
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 4: The tree of the outfielders, we have two Gold Glovers.

141
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 4: One should have been a Platinum uh winner rough Eyelight.

142
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 4: I don't know how that works, you know, but he

143
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 4: should be. So we were okay, erratic early in the season.

144
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 4: I think our pitching staff can do better holding runners

145
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: and uh, you know, doing the pfps we weren't good.

146
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: So I don't know. Going back to the question C plus,

147
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: so we have to improve.

148
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: AJ We're gonna do things a little bit differently.

149
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 5: Here.

150
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: I am wearing the Perfect Gene and I remember seeing

151
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: ads for the Perfect Gene like most comfortable fit ever,

152
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: perfect fit on your body, and I was like, I'm

153
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: not buying it. Now I'm buying it and we're showing

154
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: it off on FT.

155
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 3: Please get off my desk. First of all, Scott, Second

156
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: of all, I was with you. I was skeptical about

157
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: perfect Gene and then I got a pair and the

158
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: fitting was perfect. And my body's not hard to fix

173
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: Rafaela is he possibly moving back to the infield, because

174
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: I know he was great in the outfield, but he

175
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 3: also has value in the infield.

176
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 4: He he has a lot of value, but he's the

177
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: lead in center field. He's a game changer. The one

178
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 4: thing we're going to challenge him again. He's offensively this guy,

179
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 4: as you remember, there was a I think it was

180
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 4: right before the All Star break. Offensively he was locked

181
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 4: in chasing too many pitches, doing some damage, pulling ball

182
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: in the air. And then towards the end of the

183
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 4: season he ran out of gas. And this is the

184
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 4: second time, you know, his career, you know, obviously two

185
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 4: full seasons that you know, September is tough for him.

186
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 5: He's he.

187
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 4: Waits one sixty man and to play one sixty two games.

188
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: He's hard, So challenge him, challenge him, you know, physically

189
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: get stronger, get bigger and stronger, and then defensively just

190
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 4: keeping as long as possible in center field because he's

191
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 4: that good.

192
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 5: Have you ever seen it, because obviously you go with

193
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 5: comps comparisons. Have you seen somebody chase and swing it's

194
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 5: so much and then say, you know what, I can

195
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 5: make these decisions. I can make the change that needs

196
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 5: to be made to take that next level offensively. Have

197
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 5: you seen other guys that you've played with, or coached

198
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 5: or managed that have made that change, Because that's a

199
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 5: tough thing to do. It's like somebody that doesn't very hard.

200
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 5: You got to swing.

201
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 4: Is very hard because you're running into the Okay, we

202
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 4: want you to swing at the right ones, but you

203
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 4: don't want to take away his aggressiveness, right and it

204
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 4: is a balancing act. The one thing that I truly

205
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 4: believe we can accomplish is if we're going to be aggressive,

206
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 4: we have to make sure you know, we do damage

207
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 4: early incounts. And how you accomplish that, then obviously swing

208
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: at the right ones, and he can do it. He

209
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 4: can do it. He did it in the minor leagues

210
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 4: early incounts. He's shown some flashes at the big league

211
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 4: level to do that. This is something that in eighteen

212
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 4: when I got to the Red Sox, I challenged some

213
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: of the guys you know there were it was the opposite, right,

214
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 4: They were very patient and I want them. I wanted

215
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 4: them to swing early, but swing and do damage. You know.

216
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 4: And if you look at Saddan, there's a few things

217
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: that he struggles with. There's a few things that he

218
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 4: can he can accomplish that and that's something we're going

219
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 4: to keep preaching to him and hopefully with time, you know,

220
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 4: and this is you know, experience at the big league level,

221
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 4: he can get to the to the hitter that we envision.

222
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: Okay, we're going to go back to this because you

223
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: didn't give me the answer I wanted. So how often

224
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: do you talk to Alex Bregman?

225
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: Do you call him.

226
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 3: Every day and see where he is? Are you flying

227
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 3: to his hometown to hit him ground balls? Are you

228
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 3: flipping to him? Are you trying to bring him back?

229
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: It's very hard to get me out of the island.

230
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think my next Yeah, I ain't going to

231
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 4: Arizona to see Alex, but we stay in touch. Uh,

232
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 4: there's a guy that I have a lot of respect.

233
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 4: I really enjoy manage him last year. We have a

234
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 4: good relationship, so we stay in touch, talking about he's

235
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: off season and him asking me questions about my kids

236
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 4: and all that. So we talk a lot to be

237
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 4: honest with you.

238
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: Okay, that's better.

239
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: By the way, is there something that happened at sant

240
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,040

Speaker 3: you can buy me a drink for once.

258
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 5: All right, I'll talk about a guy that's still on

259
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 5: your roster that you guys extended Eraldus Chapman. A lot

260
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 5: was made about when he made on competo. He went

261
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 5: on a podcast and he said he'll never play for

262
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 5: the Yankees again. Do you feel like some of his

263
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 5: resurgence was kind of like spiteful to the yank like

264
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go sign with the one team the Yankees

265
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 5: hate and it's the Red Sox. And that fueled him

266
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 5: to have, at age thirty seven, the season that he had.

267
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 4: No, no, no, it was. I mean, I played thirteen

268
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 4: years in the big leagues, have managed what six or

269
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 4: seven was a bench coach for one, and I have

270
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 4: seen guys that their work ethic has been outstanding. Others

271
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 4: they performed at the Big League devil because they were talented.

272
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 4: And this guy is a combination of both. Just the

273
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 4: way he goes about his business is second to none.

274
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 4: Get him on in the morning, go to the gym

275
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 4: at nine, take his nap, comes back to goes to

276
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 4: the ballpark, his cardio plays catch. It was on point,

277
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 4: you know. And I seen great seasons by relievers starting

278
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 4: with Eric Ganya you know two whatever that was that

279
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 4: was impressive. But to do it at his age and

280
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 4: with all the quote unquote red flax right, you know

281
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 4: he's older. He doesn't throw strikes, his hostpeed pitches in

282
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 4: his own he cannot do that. It was fun to watch,

283
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 4: you know. And the other thing for him to be

284
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 4: willing to sign an extension when he did it, he

285
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: really likes Boston, he really likes the program and he

286
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 4: was having fun. Man, And I saw the quotes, and

287
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 4: that's you know, fuel to the to the rivalry if

288
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 4: you want to say it. But I think it's just

289
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 4: a combination of a lot of things. But the credit

290
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 4: goes all to him. You know. He he was amazing

291
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 4: and I'm happy that he's going to be back to us.

Speaker 2: That's amazing. I didn't realize, you know what. I didn't

315
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: even realize.

316
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 4: That if I was playing nowadays, I'll be playing thirteen

317
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 4: years in triple A. I'll tell you that.

318
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: Anyway, you people, I'm getting way off to I know

319
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,200

Speaker 3: won at bat that everybody remembers. Do you know that

321
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 3: I was catching during that bat and I got absolutely

322
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 3: obliterated when I came in the dugout because you had

323
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: like a twenty pitch at bat and you hit a

324
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 3: home run.

325
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 2: It was in Dodger.

326
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: Stadium, and we just kept throwing the heater, heater, heater,

327
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: and you finally hit a home run. And I came

328
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 3: in and Felipe lou was like, whoa, it was so

329
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,080

331
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 3: wasn't against you, guys, Oh it wasn't. I thought it

332
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: was because you had one.

333
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 4: Against against the Cubs.

334
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: Oh as Actually you know what good for you because

335
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 3: I'm not a Cup fan, but your dad won against us.

336
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: It was like ten or twelve pitches and we just

337
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 3: kept throwing you heaters and.

338
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 4: You kept so it was uh it was matt Cleman

339
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 4: slider cutter, right, cut her yeah, and uh people keep

340
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 4: giving him a credit man, and he threw sixteen pitches

341
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 4: right down the middle.

342
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 3: Bro.

343
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 4: You know at one point you gotta hit one, right,

344
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't know what was harder me getting

345
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 4: the homer on the eighteenth pitch of Mattie Clement throwing

346
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 4: all the strikes in a row.

347
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: But no, okay, anyways, I know there was one, but

348
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: I'm wrong. I mean, I'm wrong, but there was one.

349
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: Right.

350
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 3: Felipe Louse screamed to me for throwing you this many

351
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 3: pitches and you gotta.

352
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 4: You you actually it was you know four right, were

353
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 4: you there two thousand and four? Yeah, Franklin the lefty, Yeah,

354
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 4: come out of the bullpen. That was the Finley homer.

355
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 4: Remember the walking.

356
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: You know I was. I was out of the game.

357
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 3: They defensively replaced me that that game because we were

358
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 3: winning three to nothing, and so.

359
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 4: Let's say war against against Franklin the lefty. It was

360
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 4: a Franklin I don't even know Wayne started.

361
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 2: Yes, thanks for bringing that.

362
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 3: Thanks for bringing that memory up, because we took me

363
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 3: and the shortstop out and we ended up losing day.

364
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 2: They took out putting ransom. Yes, but I barely remember

365
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: that game. Anyways.

366
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 3: You're a manager now, you've been managing since what twenty eighteen,

367
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 3: I think was your first year. What is the one

368
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 3: thing that Alex Korra wishes he knew in twenty eighteen

369
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 3: That Alex score in twenty twenty five notes.

370
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 4: The media side of it is very challenging. I still

371
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 4: remember Kevin Gregg in eighteen. He's with the Phillies now.

372
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 4: He was our media relationship, the prison of media relationship.

373
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 4: And he tells me in four myers from tomorrow on.

374
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 4: You got to talk before the workout and after the game,

375
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 4: like what I gotta do this twice And that's something

376
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 4: that it's not easy because the game is the game

377
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 4: and the game has evolved. But you have information and

378
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 4: you talk to people and you're going to keep growing

379
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 4: up as a manager and as a baseball person. But

380
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 4: the media part of it is a challenge. You know,

381
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,199
Speaker 4: like right now we're talking, it's gonna come out and

382
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 4: somebody's gonna make something out of this, you know, because

383
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 4: he talked about mccleman, or he's talking to Alex Bregman

384
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 4: every single day, or he doesn't talk to Trep Breslo

385
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 4: every single day. And that's a challenge, man is you know,

386
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 4: you guys call it what soap oper us right like

387
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 4: Days of Our Lives right at one o'clock. I remember

388
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 4: watching that in college. You know, probably Joey didn't do

389
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 4: that in Vanderville, but I did in Miami. But it's

390
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 4: an novela like we call it in Latin America. It's

391
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 4: NonStop and you gotta be on top of it. You

392
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 4: got to know their narrative. You have to control the

393
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 4: narrative and if I wouldn't known that in eighteen and

394
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 4: eighteen was quote unquote simple in that aspect because that

395
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 4: team was amazing, But I didn't know how challenging it

396
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 4: is and I'm still learning that that part of the game.

397
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 5: One last quick one that we probably could have spent

398
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 5: fifteen minutes on Roman Anthony, Roman Anthony getting third in

399
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 5: American League Rookie of the Year voting. What do you

400
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 5: see not his ceiling, but what do you see him

401
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 5: doing next year? Because the future is very bright, but

402
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 5: what do you see him doing for this team in

403
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 5: a new role that he's going to need to take

404
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 5: for you guys to make it to the series.

405
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 4: Yes, the one thing that we still have to quote

406
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 4: unquote solve is him against lefties. And that's something that

407
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 4: as hitters, you know, left handed hitters is always a challenge.

408
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 4: And it's funny because throughout the years, if you look

409
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: at our roster, we have this problem. We had this

410
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 4: problem quote unquote throughout the years Castes against lefties, Jaron

411
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 4: Durant against le lefties, William braw against lefties. And there's

412
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: a I call it a process, right like the evolution

413
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 4: of the of the hitter. They come up to the

414
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 4: big leagus and we platoon them and it happened with

415
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 4: Roman for a week, you know, and he's gonna be okay.

416
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 4: I see him hitting the top of the lineup. He's

417
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 4: gonna be a debate if we're gonna lead him off

418
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 4: or hitting second or hit him forth. We'll see what

419
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 4: the roster looks when we get to Cincinnati next year

420
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 4: for the home for Opening Day. But he's a guy

421
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 4: that he's gonna keep getting on base. He's gonna hit

422
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 4: for power. I think he was getting to the point

423
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 4: that he was hitting the ball in the air. And

424
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 4: the thing that people don't realize is that this guy

425
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 4: is a great base runner and a good defender. I

426
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 4: think he ended up plus four as far as defense.

427
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 4: He runs, saves, and uh, he's just really good. One

428
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 4: thing that we have to be very careful, and this

429
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 4: happens in every big market, is like people put these

430
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 4: players in a pedestal and they expect them to carry

431
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: the offense, carry the franchise to the next level. And

432
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 4: that's not the case. We have to protect him from that.

433
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: But as far as the keep him healthy, let him

434
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 4: be who he is, and uh, you know, we are

435
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 4: far away from the best version of Roman Anthony, but

436
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 4: the one we have right now and the one we're

437
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 4: gonna have next year, he's really really good.

438
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 3: So before, since you like Novella's, is Tristan Cassis your

439
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 3: first baseman next year or are you gonna sign pet Alonzo?

440
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 4: We gotta we gotta get him healthy, man.

441
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 2: Uh.

442
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 4: I think Christian is a big part of what we're

443
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 4: trying to accomplish, but we gotta get him healthy. You know,

444
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 4: last year we were talking about Tristan hitting thirty home runs,

445
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 4: driving in one hundred, and that happened right early in

446
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 4: the season. So we're not giving up of him, but

447
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 4: we know that we he hasn't been healthy throughout his career,

448
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 4: so that's very important.

449
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 2: This guy looks so good.

450
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 3: Look Peter a Lonzo like this hitting dingers at the Monster,

451
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 3: the Gators, the Gators. Oh cn clip that clip down.

452
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 4: Never went to college.

453
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: He never went to college.

454
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 5: He doesn't know. Don't worry.

455
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 3: Flip flip that, by the way, clipped the Hurricanes.

456
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: The Hurricanes, they teach you to be friendly to.

457
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 2: Your Yeah, okay, go to Miami and give back.

458
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 3: By the way, I've said this to thom mkainley, Miami

459
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: beat Notre Dame, but they're ranked behind them. Anyways, I

460
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: and I'm not a Miami fan, but that's some crap.

461
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 4: You know what. This is the point of the season

462
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 4: in college football the last four or five years, you know,

463
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 4: and I hate to say it, you know, early in

464
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 4: the season everywhere they're back, they're back, they're back, and

465
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 4: now we're what sixteenth in the nation.

466
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: Like, man, man, that's a you guy right there, that's

467
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: a you guy.

468
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 5: You know.

469
