1
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody. So the other day I had the privilege

2
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: of going to the Red Sox raise game, and before

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: the game, I was able to snag a few interviews

4
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: with Walker Bueller, Christian Campbell, and Tristan Cassas. So up,

5
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: first we have Walker Bueller. I talked to him about

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: the cold weather lately in Boston and some of the

7
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: adjustments he's been making as of late. I got to

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: ask first question, what's it like to be down here

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: in the warm weather after a few days in the cold.

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 2: It's been a little chilly obviously in Boston and in

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: Chicago and Baltimore, so it feels nice.

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: What was the you know, they had the record low

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: for the opener against the Blue Jays. Give me a

14
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: feeling like what was that like after being in LA

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: for so many years? Yeah?

16
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: A couple couple of chili ones, for sure. I know

17
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: there was some talk of trying to push it back

18
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: a little bit, but it is what it is. It's

19
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: the weather. I can't really control that.

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: So you're a few starts in, you know, a couple

21
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: ups and downs, but looking great your last start. What

22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: changes do you feel like you made that really made

23
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: the difference for you?

24
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: I'm just getting some tempo back in the delivery I

25
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: think is kind of the continual struggle for me or

26
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 2: or the kind of lynchpin and everything. So uh yeah,

27
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: I got a little tempo, got some some aggressive throws

28
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: in there and worked out well.

29
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: So, you know, coming off of Tommy John, you know,

30
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: how's everything feeling? You know how you you know, what's

31
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: the difference with you, you know, feeling wise right now?

32
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean everything with the elbow is good. Obviously

33
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: having gone through this twice now and it all still

34
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: files up here and there, but medical here has been

35
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: great and got me a pretty good spotor.

36
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 1: Hey, best of luck to you. Appreciate you, my friend.

37
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: Up next, I talked to Christian Campbell and I was

38
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: able to get him and his family's reaction to making

39
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: it to the major leagues, as well as what he's

40
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: learned so far up in the bags talking about how

41
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: you were surprised that you didn't have a roommate for

42
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: the hotel, you know, being in the major leagues. I

43
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: got to ask this, now, when you found out that

44
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: you had you know, you got to be in the

45
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: room by yourself. Did you go all out for the

46
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: food service or the room service. What do you what

47
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: do you do?

48
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: No, I actually didn't do anything crazy. I was just

49
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: curious when I got to Mexico who my roommate was,

50
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: because that was something we had in the minor leagues.

51
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 3: You know, every place you went, you got a roommate

52
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: or guy. You're always with, closest friend or whatever.

53
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: And I didn't know that.

54
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: So I found out for the first time that we

55
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: did it, and you know, I just spent the night

56
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 3: getting ready for the next day.

57
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: That was really it, Michna Lie. I was kind of

58
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: hoping it would be like a home alone kind of

59
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: a kind of a thing where he went all out.

60
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: You know, I got to ask you, man, you know,

61
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: it's been a wild ride for you for the last

62
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: couple of years Georgia Tech, literally two years ago. Now

63
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: that you've been up for the may up to the

64
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: Majors for the last you know, two and a half

65
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: weeks or so, what is the biggest thing that you've

66
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: learned so far? You know, since coming up here.

67
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 3: Really just routine and trying to say consistent, consistent as possible,

68
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 3: learning yourself. It's the key learning what makes you ready

69
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: for the game, that gets you ready each and every

70
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: day and having a plan when I come to coming

71
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: up the bath, playing defense and getting ready for the

72
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: game as soon as you get to the field. Just

73
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: having that routine that gets you ready to go and

74
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 3: gets your confident to play that day. I think that's

75
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: the biggest thing. Just learning and picking the brands of

76
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 3: the people around you know, you got a lot of

77
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 3: veteran players in this team and a lot of guys

78
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: for a lot of experience, so it's really key for

79
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: me to lock in on that and ask us many

80
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 3: questions as possible because they know what they're talking about

81
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 3: and they know what they're doing. So it's good to

82
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: pick the.

83
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: Brank, yeah, for sure. And one more before I let

84
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: you go. You know your your family obviously coming to

85
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: Texas for the opener. What's that whole experience been like,

86
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, just seeing all the positivity with your debut

87
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: and everything. What are the what's just been the whole

88
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: reaction from your family over the last couple of weeks.

89
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 3: It's been super exciting. They've been super excited for me

90
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: to come see me whenever they can. They were there

91
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: for the opener and they made to Boston for that

92
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: season opening too, so I was really happy about that,

93
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: and you know, it's a big deal. I just know

94
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: someone's that always disappoints you and the rest. So it

95
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: has been really good to my family and taking care

96
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: of them whenever it comes to anything. So I'm really

97
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: grateful for that. And to be in this organization for

98
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 3: the great people means a lot. So when I traded

99
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: for anything in the world, I mean, it's always something

100
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 3: I've thought about my whole life. I just didn't know

101
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: when it would happened, and I haven't fast. But like

102
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: I said, the process has been easy that it made it

103
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: really easy for me, and the transition has been really

104
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: easy also, so kind of thank the rest of It's

105
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: enough for making it this way for me.

106
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: Awesome man, thank you so much for the time. I

107
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: appreciate you. And last but not least, I talked to

108
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: Tristan Cassis and what he's looking to do to get

109
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: over his early season slup, as well as his reaction

110
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: into the Red Sox Netflix documentary. A couple ups and downs.

111
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Here you so far, But when you're looking at the

112
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: advanced metrics with the barrel percentages looking pretty good, sweet

113
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: spot's looking pretty good. How are you feeling right now,

114
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: just like where are you just trying to find something

115
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: just to fall through or what are you looking for?

116
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm feeling really good now that we're at somehow weather.

117
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, I feel like every every bat has been

118
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 4: progressively getting better. I feel like the last week I've

119
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 4: been making a lot better contact, which is a you know,

120
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 4: a good sign. Missing a lot of pitches in the

121
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 4: middle of the zone though, you know you can't work

122
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 4: around that as a as a middle of the order hitter.

123
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: You know, when you're fouling those pitches off and then

124
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 4: you know get behind and counts. You know, it's just

125
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: not a recipe for success. So I think I just need,

126
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: you know, clean up hitting the pitches I'm supposed to,

127
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 4: and when I do, you know, respectfully, I think I'll

128
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 4: have a really good chance, you know, against any caliber

129
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 4: pitching well.

130
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: And in previous years you have gotten off to some

131
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: slow starts, so then you end up having some very

132
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: good numbers by the end of the year. What are

133
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: some things that you've done in the past to kind

134
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: of help you get through those little slumps.

135
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you never like to approach the season

136
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 4: and like on a bad note or you know, get

137
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 4: off to the wrong start, you know, especially you know

138
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 4: on this team. You know, we got so many expectations,

139
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: you know, a lot of good players and stuff. But

140
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: I think everybody's just in my corner. I mean, all

141
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 4: my teammates. They're instilling the confidence in me that you know,

142
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 4: we're going to get through this together. They've been trying

143
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: to help me. Coaches included, all the staff, you know, really,

144
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 4: so just to feel the support of you know, the

145
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 4: whole organization feels good. But yeah, ultimately, it's about putting

146
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: together good at bets.

147
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 3: It's about having.

148
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 4: Results, and you know it's gonna start with what I

149
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 4: talked to you about before. Just hitting the mistakes, swinging

150
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 4: as strikes and let go of balls. As simple as

151
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 4: it sounds, absolutely so one more before I let you go.

152
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 4: The Netflix documentary has been a big hit among the

153
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 4: Red Sox community, among the Red Sox fans kind of

154
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: how are you have you been able to watch the

155
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: whole thing back or you know, what are you seeing

156
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 4: among the community when it comes to the reactions, No,

157
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 4: I haven't been able to watch any of it. I

158
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 4: will when the season ends, though, I think that's a

159
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 4: that's an appropriate time. Right now, we're just focused on

160
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 4: winning games and stuff. And when I get asked questions

161
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 4: about it, I obviously remember the incidents because you know,

162
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 4: I was I was in them, but I don't know

163
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: what was published, So it's like I don't know exactly

164
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 4: what I said or completely recall every situation. But I've

165
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 4: been getting a lot of good feedback, you know, from

166
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 4: even from people in the staff that I've watched it,

167
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 4: a lot of the media, they've all watched it and

168
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 4: you know, ask me some questions about it. But really,

169
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 4: you know, I'm looking forward to everybody, you know, getting

170
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: a perspective of what it's like to play, you know,

171
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 4: a full major league season. So I think there's a

172
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 4: lot of ups and downs, a lot of things that

173
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 4: we go through, but most of all, it's the preparation

174
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 4: that we put in on a daily basis to put

175
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 4: ourselves in a good position to succeed whether we do

176
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 4: or not, you know, is there's a lot of luck involved, obviously,

177
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm looking forward to the end of the

178
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: year watching it over. But for right now, I'm just

179
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 4: focused on winning games.

180
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: Awesome, man, thank you so much. Best of luck for

181
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: your
