WEBVTT - Tyler Soderstrom on his BREAKOUT

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.440
<v Speaker 1>I want to be in the field. I mean, I

0:00:01.480 --> 0:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>feel like I'm too young to know just DH right now.

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I want to use my athleticism to play defense wherever

0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>that's in left or catching or first or another corner spot.

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:19.120
<v Speaker 2>All right, guys, let's talk about the Athletics for just

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:21.439
<v Speaker 2>a second. This is a team that I have to say,

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 2>despite all of the stuff that this club has to

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 2>go through, I never hear the players themselves complain about anything.

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:29.479
<v Speaker 2>It just seems like a strong group of guys that

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>is willing to do what they can with they have.

0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>And nobody knows that better than Tyler Soda Strong. Welcome

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:37.880
<v Speaker 2>my friend to the program. We appreciate you being here

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 2>on Foul Territory. Thanks for coming on. And Tyler, I

0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:42.639
<v Speaker 2>was just talking to these guys about the fact that

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 2>regardless of the situation that the Athletics are in front of, you,

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.240
<v Speaker 2>guys are a very tight knit group, it seems like anyway,

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:52.040
<v Speaker 2>and you don't complain. Why is that?

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, thanks for having me on first and foremost.

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>But I think Cott's kind of sent the message last

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>year at the end of the season that no one's

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>going to really feel bad for us. They're just still

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>going to come into Sacramento and try and and try

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and beat us. So we just kind of went in

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 1>with the mentality that you know, nobody cares. The situation

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.240
<v Speaker 1>may not be the best, but you know, we we're

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna make the best of it and make it our home.

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 3>So it's been good so far.

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:19.960
<v Speaker 4>Ty You were in Triple A last year for part

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 4>of the season. Now you're in a Triple A stadium.

0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 4>Come on, there's there's not even like any like good

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 4>Triple A Big League jokes that you guys have heard it.

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 4>You're like, I kind of feel like that one's a

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 4>good one.

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 1>We definitely joke around like internally and stuff. But you know,

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>they they did a pretty good job. Everything's brand new.

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm sure the visiting the visiting teams have

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 1>it worse than us, for sure, but you know, we've

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 1>made the most of it. We're enjoying sacks so far.

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>So I mean, it's definitely definitely good as a hitter,

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, the balls flying, so we're enjoying it.

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 5>Hey, Tyler, I want to talk a little bit about

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 5>some some things that dove into since your third time around. Now,

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 5>very short sample size and a lot of people coming

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 5>into the season, nobody was talking about you, right, but

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 5>here you.

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 6>Come on the scene.

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you know, not looking back, and when I

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 5>dove into the mechanics of it, a couple of things

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.920
<v Speaker 5>that I'm noticing a lot more balls elevated. You're barreling

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 5>up a lot of balls at a much higher percentage

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 5>the the uh you know, bat speed is essentially the same.

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 5>But and I'm not saying it's because Alana's on here today,

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.919
<v Speaker 5>but when I really dive even deeper, you have some

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 5>O tiny esque things in your swing.

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 6>Is he somebody that you looked at?

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 5>What were some of the things that you went into

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 5>the off season saying that if I can lock in here,

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 5>I can turn this power in my tools into something

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 5>special at the big league level.

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, I mean I in the minor leagues.

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, I didn't really struggle, and you know, I

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of flew through the minors, power hit for average,

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>drove guys in and I got to the big leagues

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and really, uh, you know, I just didn't work out

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>from her in the beginning, and I was still pretty young.

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>But you know, they're just pitching, pitching the corners, throwing

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.080
<v Speaker 1>us off, and I just really wasn't able to adjust,

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and I was missing the pitches in the zone because

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.359
<v Speaker 1>I was so kind of tied up. But I think

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>I just needed something that was pretty repeatable, pretty easy.

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I've I've mentioned JJ Blade, you know, he kind of

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 1>went through the same thing as me. He kind of struggled,

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>came up and kind of put the foot down early

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 1>and kind of really helped him take off. So kind

0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>of mentored after him a little bit, started playing around

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>with it kind of halfway through the season last year

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.640
<v Speaker 1>and really kind of opened up his own for me.

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I could see everything be on time

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 1>for everything kind of adjust. So yeah, it's been good

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 1>so far.

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 4>Tonight's starter, Sean Burke, You've had a dinger against him

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 4>in the show. Does that make your comp Do you

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.200
<v Speaker 4>feel a difference in your confidence when you're facing a

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 4>dude that you've already hit a dinger against that you're like, okay,

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.920
<v Speaker 4>And can you take that confidence into a dude like

0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 4>the entire Mariners pitching starting rote where you're like okay,

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 4>like I gotta get after some of these guys. Or

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 4>does that, like this past, this past success not affect

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 4>your psyche going into a game.

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 3>That definitely helps.

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean I feel like just overall, like seeing guys

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the first time for the first time can be difficult,

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 1>but once you kind of see guys more and more,

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, you get more comfortable in the box. And

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 1>even I mean just having success against some even adds

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.599
<v Speaker 1>to that. So yeah, I mean, we we just saw

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 1>these White Sox guys. We're gonna face the same three

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 1>starters that we did in Chicago coming off a sweep there,

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>so we're excited to just kind of build off that

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>and keep going.

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I want to follow up right there.

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 5>Uh, you talk about Cots and one thing I stand

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.919
<v Speaker 5>on I always say the leader is the manager. We

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 5>always look at players as the guys who lead the clubhouse.

0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 5>But you have to have a guy that you wake

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.840
<v Speaker 5>up and you're excited to go play for him. How

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.440
<v Speaker 5>big is Cots been? He was a veteran when I

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.600
<v Speaker 5>was younger in my career. I know what he did

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 5>for me. Even though he's the manager, he's not the

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 5>heat and guy. He has so much knowledge. How how

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 5>big has he been for your growth this year? And

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 5>what are the athletics and COT's telling you your role

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 5>is going to be moving forward.

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, Cotts has been a big part of our success.

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, he came into a pretty tough situation when

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you first kind of started managing, so he's done a

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 1>great job of you know, dealing with that and getting

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>to us to this point. I mean, we're a young

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 1>group of guys that you know, kind of need that guidance.

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 1>We didn't really know how to be big leaguers. So

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>he's really helped me in that aspect of kind of

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 1>learning to be a big leaguer and how to go

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:36.479
<v Speaker 1>about my business. And you know, like you said, they've

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of communicated to me that I'm probably going to

0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>be playing more and left you know, Kurch has debut,

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.080
<v Speaker 1>so looking to get him in the lineup, to get

0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.280

<v Speaker 7>spotantango dot com slash foul code foul.

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.920
<v Speaker 4>All right, I gotta ask this. Do you miss catching

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.200
<v Speaker 4>because they're moving you out of the position. I kind

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 4>of transition to it. You caught thirty to forty games

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 4>a year in the minor leagues. Normally we have two

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 4>catchers on here, but we allow an outfielder on here

0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 4>and Cam because we'll bring the athleticism down a little

0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 4>bit when we bring outfielders. I think, is Shay gonna

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 4>let you catch it all? Like let the man get

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 4>back there, all these dangers a catcher who.

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:22.000
<v Speaker 2>It's a little extra cash.

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure. I mean I'm open to anything. Man Like,

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I just want to I want to be in the field.

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I feel like i'm too young to you know,

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>just dh right now. I want to use my athleticism

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to play defense wherever that's in left or catching or

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.320
<v Speaker 1>first or another corner spot. And I feel like it

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>can handle all of it. So but yeah, like you said,

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:40.760
<v Speaker 1>we've got Shay So, I mean, he's a he's a

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>horseback there. He's back there every night, and he's got

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 1>power too. So we're just trying to figure out where

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 1>we can get all these bats and where we can

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 1>fit them all on the line up.

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 2>For sure, you seem very disciplined in all of your

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 2>answers there. I don't know if you had media's training

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.440
<v Speaker 2>or if you just feel like you're too young. What

0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 2>makes you smile, what makes you relax?

0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm just pretty laid back, lay back guy, you know,

0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 1>early in the morning, just drinking my coffee here and

0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>so I'm just waking up.

0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 2>Did you grow up? I know that your dad played

0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.400
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of coffee, a cup of coffee in the big leagues.

0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 2>But did you have like, did you grow up in

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 2>a baseball family? I mean, were you always surrounded by it?

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 2>And was there ever a part of you that you

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:21.360
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to play this game or was it just

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 2>ingrained in you that you were doing it now?

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I was just ingrained to me, you know, ever since

0:08:25.800 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I figured out my dad played, That's all I wanted

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 1>to do growing up. So you know, he he played,

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:34.559
<v Speaker 1>got two cups of coffee in ninety six and ninety

0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 1>eight with the Giants and he was a first rounder

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.720
<v Speaker 1>out of Francis State, So you know, he's been through

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 1>it all. He's taught me what I know, and you know,

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.960
<v Speaker 1>just growing up with my brother, just training with him,

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:47.160
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, he's been in a big part of my

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 1>success for sure.

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.840
<v Speaker 4>How did your dad talk about his career? Because AJ

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:56.679
<v Speaker 4>and I and Cam we had careers that lasted longer

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 4>than your dad's. Mine could have never been a big

0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 4>league career. Cam and AJ they were definitely gonna be

0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 4>big leaguers like they were first rounders. How did he

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 4>talk about his career?

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, he felt like he maybe left a

0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.320
<v Speaker 1>little bit on the table, but he you know, he

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:14.559
<v Speaker 1>had a shoulder aneurism right when he got into pro

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.560
<v Speaker 1>ball that kind of hindered his success rate. You know,

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:19.680
<v Speaker 1>he just couldn't really stay healthy. So you know, he

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 1>just always taught me to, you know, put in the

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.480
<v Speaker 1>extra work and just never leave anything on the table

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.959
<v Speaker 1>because you know, this game can end quickly.

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:28.720
<v Speaker 3>So I think you kind of instilled that in me

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:29.199
<v Speaker 3>for sure.

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 6>Let's talk teammates real quick.

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:36.680
<v Speaker 5>Now, you guys have a pretty young roster, right other

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 5>than the old head Luis Savarino over there, my teammate.

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 5>What I've never been to a clubhouse that young, right,

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 5>Usually it's cards on the plane, it's some type something competitive.

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 5>But when you have a group that young, I know,

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:53.359
<v Speaker 5>some competitive stuff going on. One who's the most competitive

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 5>guy in the clubhouse? And two what do you guys

0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 5>do I mean to kill time? When you talk about

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 5>having such a young group, like the fans need to note.

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, it's definitely a good, really good mix

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:09.120
<v Speaker 1>of really young guys and some older, you know, veteran guys.

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.720
<v Speaker 1>We we actually call ourselves YC, which is a young crew,

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.160
<v Speaker 1>and then we refer to the older guys as OC.

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:19.719
<v Speaker 1>So TJ McFarland is kind of the head of that.

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>And then we got Lawrence Butler, who's you know, chirping

0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot. So it's a good friendly banter back and forth.

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a good mix. Mean, we play cards, a lot

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 1>of cards. I mean yeah, I mean we got two

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>card tables on the plane, so yeah, you know, we

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:36.360
<v Speaker 1>make we make them, We make the most of it.

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:38.280
<v Speaker 3>We have fun, for sure.

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 4>I guess Lulldog is Swaggy, right, He's the head swag

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.320
<v Speaker 4>Isn't there a second place? Is there somebody that's like

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 4>trying to catch him?

0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 1>That's a tough one. I mean, he's just so out

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 1>there with everything. I mean he has two lockers. I

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 1>mean he has about six or seven different belts hanging

0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.560
<v Speaker 1>in the second locker, So I mean he's definitely the

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 1>leader in that department for sure. Seve's got a good

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 1>shoe game going for sure. A lot of a lot

0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>of Jordan's in there. So I'd say Saevie's close second

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>with the shoes. But I think overall, you know, it

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.720
<v Speaker 1>takes the takes number one easy.

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 4>And I guess since law just got his contract so

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 4>he can he can spend it and flow on it

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:24.120
<v Speaker 4>a little bit more too. What about we talk about

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 4>money and maybe there's no there's no gambling in baseball,

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 4>not saying you guys were gambling, but did you guys

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:33.200
<v Speaker 4>have a pool of when Jacob Wilson was actually going

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 4>to get to a three ball count, let.

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:37.800
<v Speaker 6>Alone a walk, Because I saw the.

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.840
<v Speaker 4>Reaction in the dugout and everyone was like, yeah, so

0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 4>you guys were clearly paying attention.

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Yes, we were paying attention for sure. No no money

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>pool put together for that. But we're giving him crap

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>every day for sure. But you know, he's he's a

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>great hitter man, He's We're constantly amazed if we're just

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 1>sitting back watch him and dug out, just watch him

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.319
<v Speaker 1>bang balls with the right side and up the middle.

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 1>So it's pretty special to watch. But yeah, well we

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 1>were on him pretty good for sure, no doubt.

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.319
<v Speaker 4>No doubt. What about uh? What about his what about

0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.360
<v Speaker 4>his the fact that he doesn't have as much power

0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.840
<v Speaker 4>as you do? You give him a hard time? Like

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 4>are you guys like does he even hit on the

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 4>field because he watches he watches Rook, he watches you,

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 4>he watches Wall He now now Kurts is up, Like

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 4>do you give you guys give him a hard time

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.600
<v Speaker 4>and go, hey, the singles guys, they go hitting the

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 4>cage for BP.

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think he's kind of done a good job

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:41.120
<v Speaker 1>of embracing that. We we definitely do give him a

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.520
<v Speaker 1>little slack for that. You know in BP, when he

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 1>when he gets one out down the left field line,

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, everyone's putting their hands up cheering. So he

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.839
<v Speaker 1>gets it a little bit, but he embraces it. I mean,

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 1>you watch his BP. He doesn't hit a ball on

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the left side of second base still about the third round.

0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.920
<v Speaker 1>So uh, but he's got some power and then he'll

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.640
<v Speaker 1>sneak a couple a couple out down the left field

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.679
<v Speaker 1>line here and hopefully you can in about five or

0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 1>ten I think is his number.

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 4>Okay, that's fair. A couple of power swings. Five to

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 4>ten power swings. Maybe he just needs a torpedo bat

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:17.200
<v Speaker 4>or something like that, you know, something, some kind of gimmick. Anyway,

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.240
<v Speaker 4>he's hitting a million, so don't change it. Tell him

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 4>not to change a thing. Every once in a while,

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.560
<v Speaker 4>actually all the time. There's a home run hit at

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 4>Sacramento at Sutter Field, when it goes to left center,

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 4>I see a batting cage out there. Do you guys

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 4>have an outdoor batting cage at a big league stadium?

0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.880
<v Speaker 4>And is that gonna be problematic when it's one hundred

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 4>and ten in Sacramento.

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 1>So we have two tunnels that are endoor, are actually

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 1>pretty nice. I'm not sure what the visiting tunnel is.

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure it's indoors. I haven't done a whole

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:57.439
<v Speaker 1>lot exploring over there, but you know, when it gets hot,

0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure there'll be some problem that arise. But I

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 1>haven't really been over there to check anything out. But

0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>our two tunnels have been I've actually been pretty nice.

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 6>So nice.

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm glad that you guys have indoor tunnels. Last one

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.560
<v Speaker 4>for me and we'll let you go. I saw a

0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 4>big goose egg on the Baseball Reference page on stolen bases.

0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 4>I need you to get a back. I need you

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 4>to get it back.

0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Like I've got to to two attempts this year, both

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 1>with Shay hitting, so he's fell off.

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.040
<v Speaker 3>He's fallen off twice. So I'm gonna okay, I'm going

0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 3>for ten. I'm going for.

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 4>This year.

0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:40.160
<v Speaker 6>I like big, I'm with crazy, you got you gotta.

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna get I'm gonna get ten bags of yourn.

0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 5>You got half a step, and just remember they're not

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 5>thinking about you over there, so get them.

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.160
<v Speaker 6>Get the sneak attack going early, right.

0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.760
<v Speaker 5>Maybe even a little pool shuffle shuffle, get you a

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 5>little early jump.

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:55.000
<v Speaker 6>Don't treat it like a hit and run, and you'll

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 6>get you some bags.

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 4>Take the pitch, Take the pitch one time.

0:14:59.640 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 3>Let him.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:01.360
<v Speaker 6>I admit.

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.080
<v Speaker 2>I love that you put it out here though. On

0:15:04.160 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Foult Territory. Ten backs this year for Tyler in.

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.560

<v Speaker 2>Well, great job so far, Great success to you Tyler

<v Speaker 2>play so far. Thanks for taking a couple of minutes

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:16.880
<v Speaker 2>to be with us.
