I was never on the 0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:17.840 Syracuse Mets, but I did play in Syracuse. 0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:19.439 And I just called him the Chiefs Syracuse. 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.599 I was a Syracuse Met for a second. You're in 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:24.040 my career. 0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:25.560 Yeah, okay, Well they. 0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.159 Don't like the name anymore. Okay, well, they don't like 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.400 the name. They want to rename it. So they're doing 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.960 a community contest and they want help. Anyone have any ideas. 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.960 They did this with Binghamton and turned into the Rumble Ponies, 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:38.440 which is an A plus name. 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.839 Yeah, I've really you know what, I totally dropped the 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:44.600 ball on this one. 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.400 All I remember. It was never really any fans there. 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:51.880 It was always really quiet. I don't know, just the 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.840 Syracuse soundless fans. I don't know. 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:59.200 It was about whenever I've gone up there, it's negative 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.560 ten degrees and snowing eight feet. 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:03.560 There you go. I'm down with that. 0:01:04.560 --> 0:01:08.160 I see a potential partnership here. When I think Syracuse, 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.720 New York, I think Dinosaur barbecues. So how about the 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:12.080 Syracuse Dinosaurs. 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.640 There you go? Cool mask impossible? 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:18.120 Yeah, I like that. 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.200 You could definitely have a fire mascot running around there. 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:25.840 There you go. That would be hey, you know who? 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:26.320 I love that. 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.920 You probably have a lot more families coming out, right, 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.640 kids coming out. They would enjoy that, so and that's 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.520 what they need. I just remember not a lot of fans. So, hey, 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:45.640 the Syracuse Dino's. I like that, right, you. 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:43.360 Can go to end up with a name like the 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:47.240 Rumble Ponies, Like did they just like everyone submitted their 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:48.920 name and then they pulled them out of a hat 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.720 and they're like, okay, let's vote, And someone just creatively 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.160 was like, hey, Rumble Ponies, that sounds great. 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.160 There's maybe there's some story to it that we don't 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:58.240 know because we didn't look it up. 0:01:58.440 --> 0:01:59.960 But I like dinosaurs. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:01.920 I mean you could do like a badass version of 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.280 Barney and bring him out there, more of a devilish Barney. 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:07.440 Well, you know, you know, I don't know if you go, 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.880 I don't know if you remember Barney Scotty, but you 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.040 do you remember bj I think. 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:13.880 It was it was like the Yellow Dinosaur. Yeah. 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:15.600 I used to remember because. 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:18.480 I think like the Rockies kind of they don't they 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.239 have a mascot that kind of looks like Barney a 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.640 little bit. So let's go like with BJ and go 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.240 with the yellow he had, like the cool sneakers, like 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.760 that was my favorite, you know character off the Barney 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.200 episodes was was that was that dinosaur character. So I 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.519 think we could switch it up, maybe some yellow and 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:33.639 something in there. 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.200 Orange orange fire. 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.160 All right, FT is back on TV's Across the Nation 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.600 and Kevin Plar is going to welcome in his former 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:47.720 teammate KP. 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:48.760 You want to do the intro? 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.560 Yeah, I mean I'll do a brief intro. I mean, 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:54.200 former team of mine. 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:54.520 It was. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.720 It was short lived, but very obviously very impactful. We 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:00.920 played together in spring Train. I was with the White 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.400 Sox for one month, but got to know Andrew Vaughn, 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.720 got to know his wife, was just a great teammate. 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.720 And obviously we're very happy to have you on the 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.840 show now, Milwaukee Brewer. Uh, kind of We're obviously going 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.079 to touch on, you know, going from last to first, 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:19.040 but how you doing doing good? 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.160 I mean, you know, definitely a world win of a 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:23.440 year for me, to say the least. 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.040 Yeah, Yeah, I want to stay awake a little bit 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.240 from the obvious, because I know Cam wants to kind 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:31.200 of touch on, you know, culture of you know obviously 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.880 going from the White Sox to the Brewers, but I 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:35.320 kind of just wanted to talk about a little bit 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.800 about your journey. You know, everyone's path and the big 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.320 leagues is a little bit different. Yours is much different 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:41.840 than mine. I was a guy who's kind of up 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.640 and down in the minor leagues, big leagues, Triple A, 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.240 and then I finally got my opportunity. You got your opportunity, 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:50.760 you made the most of it, you played really well, 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:52.760 and then you struggled a little bit and you got 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.280 sent down a Triple A. Was that a little bit 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:56.680 of a wake up call for you? I know, as 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.160 a player, you always know that that's a reality, but 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:02.200 someone like you that for the most part was kind 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.680 of smooth sailing. You know, you kind of forget that 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:07.560 that's a reality, and then one day you just find 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:09.960 out you're going to Triple A. Was that just kind 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:11.360 of a little bit of a wake up call for you. 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:13.640 Yeah, you know, it was definitely tough. 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.120 I mean, first two months of the season didn't go 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.960 anywhere I wanted to, you know, the goals to go 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:20.560 out there and help your team win, and you know, 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:21.920 it felt like I wasn't able to do that. 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.680 You know, I was taking my best at Batch. You know, 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:26.440 I always put. 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.839 It all on the line, no matter what, just not 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.599 to see the results you know it's done, you know, 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.400 getting the triple A. I think the biggest goal was 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.159 just just get right, you know, get myself back. 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.240 To what I do in the box. 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.080 And you know I kind of I kind of felt 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.560 like I was moving that way, you know, and then 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:43.280 the trade happened. 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.799 Hey, hey, Andrew, I want to I want to piggyback 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.479 off of that man, because I think that was a 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.960 great setup for my question because most of us, you know, 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.920 baseball players, we don't lose a lot coming through the rings, 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.440 right the first time we really you know, get that 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.360 taste of losing is in professional baseball, right, And I 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:02.440 just want to ask you, like, was there any pressure, 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.520 you know, you coming up to the White Sox as 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:08.080 highly talent, as highly talent as you were, was there 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.200 just you know, did you put add a pressure on yourself, 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.160 like trying to do everything and trying to, you know, 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.560 be the guy that creates that spark or whatever the 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.360 White Sox was looking for. Was that a part of 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:19.160 kind of the struggles that you went through after when 0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.240 you first came up and we saw just how special 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:21.880 player you were. 0:05:23.080 --> 0:05:26.080 Yeah, I think a little bit. You know, it's definitely 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:28.919 tough losing. Nobody wants to do that. That's you know, 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:31.120 the worst thing in baseball. So I mean me personally, 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:32.400 I was trying to go out there and do everything 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:37.120 I could, you know, worked my butt off, you know, 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.280 went out there and was trying my best, and just 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.279 you know, it didn't work out the best. And yeah, 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.000 you know I came up pretty quick. You know, not 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:49.719 much minor league time. COVID happened. COVID kind of did 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.680 everything crazy to everybody, you know, But I got the 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:55.560 opportunity and you know, wanted to take full advantage of it. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.080 One quick fall on that too. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.760 You had a brief stint with and when we gonna 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:03.560 get to the fun stuff and the happy stuff, because 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.400 I'm so happy for you to be able to play 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.919 a winning Brandon baseball because what KP was talking about, 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:11.039 you know, I mentioned earlier, people don't realize. 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.320 That, you know, bad baseball can be contagious, you know. 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.760 You know, even some of my you know, good years, 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.919 it was a struggle on bad teams. You know, I 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:20.120 thought I had a good year and they hit like 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:21.599 two sixty and it was like, well, that was a. 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:22.720 Good year on the struggling team. 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.040 Can you talk about just on your way out, because 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:26.840 I think he's done a great job. 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.839 Will Venable just a little bit on maybe. 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.840 The culture change he was my ex teammate.

And he just 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.400 looked at me and goes, hey, man, just play like 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:39.160 a Neanderthal up there, don't think, don't have any knowledge. 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:39.640 Just play. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:49.199 And I was like, huh, I think Pat's calling.

Seriously, how much fun is it waking up 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:52.040 every day and driving to a ballpark knowing that you're 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.000 going to play some meaning for baseball down the STRETCHS Like, 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:54.680 how much fun is. 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:55.040 That for you? 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.160 I mean it's so exciting.

I mean the clubhouse open at 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.040 twelve thirty, I bet every guy's in there. 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.880 Then you know, it's just a special feeling. 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:09.800 I love it. 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:15.480 Hey, I wanted to ask you off of the SIVALI question. 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.600 And first of all, he pitched money on the weekend 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:19.720 for the White Sox, so that's working out for them too. 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.520 But do you look back, like how crazy it is 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.920 that so many events need to lead up to this 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:27.840 moment where now you're in the thick of a playoff 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.840 race with the team that's got the best record in baseball, right, 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:36.000 because it basically came from the Brewers having starting pitching depth. Right, 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:38.440 they have too many good starters, which is probably one 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.440 of two or three teams in all of baseball that 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:41.000 have that problem. 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:42.720 The rest of them are desperately looking for them. 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:45.960 That turns into a starter wanting a starting spot, that 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.000 turns into him going to the White Sox and you 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:48.960 ending up here. 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.040 Yeah, you know, definitely crazy. Like I said, it's been 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.720 a world win. You know, get sent a triple A Charlotte, 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.280 end up getting traded, get sent to Nashville, you know, 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.679 unfortunately to reach but you know, got my opportunity and 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.240 my biggest fote was just get here and help the 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.800 team win. They were already rolling. So it's like I 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:08.560 just want to plug in and do what I can. 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:15.120 One more for me, Andrew, do you notice anything different 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.360 or unique about the way that the Brewers organization runs. 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.480 I know you've been there quick, right, But a lot 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.680 of our guys, and I'm the only non player, most 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.520 of the guys on this show play the game for 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:27.280 a long time. They'll tell me how they see something different. 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.400 Cam can speak to this too. The Brewers are playing 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.120 a style of baseball that's very different from many other 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.800 teams in the game. It's not all exit velocity of session. 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.280 Obviously stuff to be a big leaguer, but we're seeing 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.200 things that, actually, I can comment from a fan perspective, 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.400 are generally more fun to watch. So it's clean defense, 0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.240 it's good base running. What have you noticed, Like, how 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:48.840 do you get a team to play like that? Of 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:50.960 course you need the personnel, but how do you get 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:52.000 a team to play that way? 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:53.280 Yeah? 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.240 I think it's just everybody buying in, you know, that's 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:56.840 the biggest thing. 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.040 Guys just putting. 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.040 It out on the line, just doing any during that 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:02.960 game to win, whether it's a bond, whether it's a 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:06.160 hit and run, you know, making a good play, just 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:07.680 all aspects of the game. 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.400 And I feel like everybody here bought into that. 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.640 Yeah, I was gonna touch on something kind of off topic, 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.960 here that maybe a lot of people don't understand. You know, 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:18.920 I was traded a couple of times in my career. 0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.560 It's very difficult the first time. It gets a little 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:25.000 bit easier the second time. But for us, it's just 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:29.000 playing baseball. But behind every player is a great wife. Lexie, 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.320 your wife. How is she making the adjustment to Milwaukee? 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:34.360 I know, you guys had a you know, a big 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.520 footprint in the city of Chicago. You guys did a 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.240 lot of things, charitable things off the field. How is 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:40.640 she settling into a new town. 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:43.320 Yeah, you know, it's been a world win for both 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:47.880 of us. You know, she's loving it. She's excited. She's 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.880 meeting all the wives and you know, getting connected, because 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.360 that's a big part of it too. I mean there 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.280 are families, but you know, our goal is we have 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.880 to go play baseball. But what goes on behind the scenes, 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.320 Like she's finding us a place to live, moving furnit sure, 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:04.320 shipping cars, doing all this stuff, and it's I mean, 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:05.400 we can't do it without them. 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:06.800 I mean, you guys can attest to that. 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:09.280 Yeah, I love that. 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:09.640 Man. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:11.800 Shout out to all the wives out there who, like 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.360 you said, people don't know what they really do. 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.240 They really become our personal assistants at time. They really do. 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:17.800 And I sacrifice so much. 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.320 I don't want to keep it on the high note 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.280 because just like KP, I was traded quite a few times. Uh, 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:26.720 And you're always trying to you know, you know, buy 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:28.120
