How did they all go down? Yeah? It was, honestly, 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:26.520 it was. It was a pretty simple process. It didn't 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:28.520 it didn't take long. They were aggressive from the start, 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.120 and uh, yeah, it just happened. I trusted Scott, He 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:34.760 gave me great information and it was just a very 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:36.040 very seamless process. 0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.760 What made it so easy? Seven years and millions they 0:00:40.200 --> 0:00:40.960 helped away? 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:42.400 Yeah, that helped a little bit. 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:44.760 Got it around. 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.239 Oh yeah, that helped. I mean you know that was uh, 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.320 that was one part of it. You know, were in 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.680 the World Series last year. Yeah, exactly. It came down to, 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.600 you know, is a team going to be competitive? Yes, 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.760 they were able to prove that last year. 0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:01.400 Uh. 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.399 Do I think they can help me maximize my abilities 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.000 and and help me be more consistent? And I was. 0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.240 I was impressed with with their staff and what they 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:11.920 had to say on that on that level, and then 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:15.880 obviously the business side of it's important. So it was 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.880 it was a really good match from the start. 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.880 What did they say on those levels? What did Pete Walker? 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.280 What did John Schneider? What did what did the front 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.280 the gurus who were who were there selling you on 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.080 what you can improve on? What did they say, because 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.399 they've seen we've seen ace type of stuff from you, 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.399 we've seen number one type of stuff from you. What 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.840 did they say that you can tell us that they 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:39.480 can unlock? 0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.959 Uh? Yeah, they I mean they had you know, they 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.520 they've obviously got a full staff that's working on different 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:51.080 elements of the game, whether it's like biomechanical or pitch design, 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:56.640 game planning, all those different elements, and uh, all those 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.200 different elements and uh you know, I mean they they 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.800 basically just broke down and said, hey, this is where 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.440 we think you can improve, this is how we think 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.160 you can be more consistent these certain areas, and uh, 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.440 you know, I mean it was, it was. It was 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:10.280 very believable. 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.760 Okay, are you more are you more willing to try 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.400 something new now that you're a locked in free agent? 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.960 Is that tougher like if they had come to you now. 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:22.520 I'm not saying the blue Jays would have come to 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.160 a picture from the Padres or a picture from the 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.760 other organization. But if the if Ruben Diebler, who's a 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.080 great pitching coach in this game, had come to you 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.040 and be like, hey, you need to change these things 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.400 in my platform here, rubin no shot, bro, Like, I'm 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.400 going out. I'm doing what Dylan Cees does so that 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.280 I can go and be a free agent and my 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:44.960 best you know, have my best year. 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.359 I mean, for me, honestly, it comes down to are 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.480 you getting the results or not? You know, and if 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:53.880 if I'm going through a stretch where I'm not having 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.560 the results that I want, then I'm willing to make 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.240 whatever change, you know. Uh So it's really as simple 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.680 as that. You know, the game kind of dictates, you 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:05.840 know what needs to be done and are you doing it? 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:08.040 And then from there it's my responsibility to figure out 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.720 how to actually go out and do it. Yeah. 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:12.639 I don't have a dog in the fight obviously in 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.520 terms of who I'm rooting for in this case, but 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.240 it did bother me when so you signed with Toronto 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:20.200 and you do see Padres fans like, oh, the Blue 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.080 Jays aren't going to change anything with him. Rubin diable 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:24.960 and I get it, like he's a great pitching coach, 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.799 But can you just play to how you in spot 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.520 like you're talking about here and you feel like you 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.720 can get talked into something else? There's something someone else 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.880 picture wise to talk to, like the evolution essentially of 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.000 a picture and how if it does ever stop, you're 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.000 doing it wrong, right? 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.280 Yeah? Yeah, Yeah. First off, Ruben is a great pitching coach, 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.920 you know, I mean it, Uh, I can't deny that 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.320 I'm excited to work with the Blue Jays, you know. 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.080 And it's uh, you know, I don't know how much 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:54.720 I can share, how much they want me sharing about 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:58.560 what their actual specific you know, development processes are. But uh, 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:00.480 you know, I feel confident there gonna be able to 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.520 teach me things and be able to show me things 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.600 that will help me be more consistent, you know, because 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:06.840 I mean I've I've always had the talent, you know, 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.440 I've I've shown it at different times and and spurts 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:13.480 of of you know, some greatness, but uh, inconsistency and 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.320 and and uh not always the most consistent command has 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.039 been what's holding me back? So uh, you know, I 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.160 want to develop. I want to whether it's learning a 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.080 change up or learning a new pitch, or or sequencing 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.880 or whatever it is. You know, I'm very open minded 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.840 to to to learning and uh yeah, ultimately, I mean 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:32.960 I really want to give them at the end of 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:34.760 the seven years, I want the Blue Jays to feel 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.200 like they got a steal. So I'm going to be 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:38.599 very open minded to what they have for me. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.919 What were the other teams or team that was in 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:42.400 the mix. 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.159 Uh, yeah, there were a couple of other teams. I 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:48.640 gotta talk to Scott and see if he wants me 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.480 divulge in that, I think, but. 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.040 There were the teams. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.480 There are other teams. Yeah, the other teams for sure, 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.640 But I mean the Blue Jays were the most aggressive, 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:05.599 and it was it was a pretty there was a 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:06.560 pretty simple process. 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:07.880 Did they flight to Toronto? 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:12.359 No, No, it was it was zoom. But you know, 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.120 I did just recently go to Toronto and do the physicals 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:15.800 and do a lot of stuff. 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.200 So because Crat said, if they're doing a zoom, they're 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:23.920 not serious. So Crats, but I got Toronto. I mean, 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.599 you know, they flew show Hey and he didn't even 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.840 they flew show Hey to Toronto. Remember on that flight 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.160 and he signed with the Dodgers, but he just did 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:30.760 a zoom, So. 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.560 Maybe I'm low maintenance if if you just you know, 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.919 there's other ways, So there's other ways to show seriousness. 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:42.159 And yeah, I haven't seen it. I've heard it's amazing. 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:43.880 I mean I've seen it on video, but I mean 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.599 their facilities and yeah, I mean it's it's uh, it 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:54.200 really is. It's Honestly, I consider myself relatively low maintenance. 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.960 It is it is, uh, extremely adequate for my needs. 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:00.480 And say that extremely adequate. 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:02.119 Okay, what do you need? 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:03.040 What do I need? 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:04.560 What do you said your low maintenance? 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:10.159 You need? Okay, I need good information. I need accountability 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:11.560 in the sense of like hey, if I need to 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.800 be doing something different, or if I need to be 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:15.840 you know, whatever it is, I need someone to say, hey, man, 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.440 this is how you should do it. And then uh, 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.279 from there, you know, a hot tub's nice, a float 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:28.120 tank's nice, A sana is nice. Good food's nice coffee. 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.320 Coffee I need coffee. Yeah, No, I mean at the 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:32.760 end of the day, I really just want to be 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.680 competent and help my team. And and uh, whether I'm 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.560 in a very and I'm a minor league facility, the 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:41.080 best facility in the world, or in between. I'm really 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:42.440 just focused on doing that. 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:46.119 So, okay, you said accountability, So will you take accountability 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.559 for when you were at the White Sox not walking, 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.360 Luisa Rise, when you had two outs of the ninth 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.000 inning and I was calling the game and I. 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.919 Said, just walk them doing because you will get the 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:54.360 no hitter. 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:55.400 I got one later. 0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.400 But no, you take accountability for not walking because I 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.760 would have got I would have got an Emmy, all 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:02.600 these things you would have to no hitters. It would 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:03.680 have been the greatest thing ever. 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.680 Bad decision. Uh. In the moment, we got to understand, 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.680 I'm following the process, and I got him out earlier 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:11.880 in the game a couple of times, and in the moment, 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:15.400 instead of thinking logically, I was thinking, I'm gonna pitch 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.640 with you know what's yeah, and just hang it out there, 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.280 and uh. And it's kind of coward leads and not 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.119 go after somebody. You know, it's not in the sense 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:29.520 of in the sense of, uh, you know, I guess 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.080 personal accomplishment, yes, but process wise, it's a little bit 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:34.960 coward lead to not go after somebody. So I'm sitting 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:36.440 there like, all right, I'm gonna get this guy out. 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:39.400 Was it a good decision? You got your know it 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:44.800 was happy? Yeah, it was a yeah. I do now 0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.040 I do wish that I had yanked a slider right 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:48.760 into his foot and not hurt him. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.240 Seriously talk trash teammates. 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.120 So did he say, no, he's too he's a very 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.559 nice guy. He didn't, He didn't talk trash. But uh, 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.520 I let him know. I said, you know what, you're 0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:58.880 gonna keep me out of the Hall of Fame when 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.800 i'm when I'm that one no hitter, shy and I've 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.640 got quantity and now I've got all the things. But 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.880 I didn't make tall of fame. It's it's your fault. 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.240 How do you stay so durable because one of the 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:12.040 big things about you is thirty starts, thirty starts, thirty starts, 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:12.600 thirty starts. 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.120 How do you do it? Because nowadays, guys will you know, we. 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:16.680 Got we got to give him an extra day, and 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:17.960 we got to do this and we gotta Yeah, but 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:19.680 you're no, I want the ball every fifth day and 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:20.200 I'm gonna take it. 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:24.400 I'm gonna. I mean, there's probably genetic factors, there's definitely 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:27.160 you know, I mean, I I take reasonably good care 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.480 of myself with working out and and all that stuff. So, uh, 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:36.480 hold the sea in my phone, you know. Sorry, your 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:41.000 hair is just glorious. Yeah, where's the where's the piece? 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:44.120 There we go? 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:51.880 Yeah, uh no, Yeah, the flow is Joe is strong. 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.880 There. There we go. H Okay, if anyone I'm not 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:59.360 going to hear what he's saying. But what were we talking about? Oh, durability. 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.360 Yeah, the ability and what you do to stay so durable, 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:02.880 because it's incredible. 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.560 Like like I was saying, there's probably a genetic factor, 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.240 there's you know, I put in the work in the 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.960 off season, I lift my weights and all that, and 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:12.800 then a little bit, I think it's just like, no 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.640 matter what, no matter what, I take the ball and 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.480 I pitch. If my body hurts, if I'm sick, if 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:21.400 I didn't get sleep, if if whatever, you know, I mean, 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.559 I don't know, I just take the ball. So obviously 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:26.840 I think everyone would probably do that, and people's bodies 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.480 fail them and they don't. So I'm not saying I'm 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.880 you know, I'm mentally doing anything different. But I'm just 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:34.120 saying I go out and I make it a priority 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.800 to pitch, no matter however, I feel because I feel 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:38.920 like it's kind of part of being a man. 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.760 You know, what did you think of the Blue Jays 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.080 World Series run? Were you watching all of that and 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:49.480 then hearing about you know, of course most clubhasses, we 0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.559 love each other all that. It just sounded like there 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:52.880 was a lot going on there to. 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.160 Like, Yeah, I watched Game seven. I didn't. I don't 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.560 watch most of the postseason after my team gets knocked 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.679 out because I'm a little you know, I don't know, 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:01.960 I don't want to watch it. Man, I don't know. 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:03.719 It's it's going to be in it, right, Yeah, it's 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.559 it's a little uh you know, but uh no, I watched. 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:10.040 I watch Game seven, and yeah, you know, with the Clubhouse, 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:12.200 I've heard nothing but great things about it, and and 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:13.880 in general, I mean, I have not heard a bad 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:16.679 thing about Toronto as a city. Apparently you're supposed to 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:19.280 pronounce it without the T, so Toronto as a city 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:23.960 and then uh, you know, the organization, the clubhouse anything. 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.040 So I'm excited for it. 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:29.160 So when I played and you get knocked out, I 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.440 would still watch because I was like, what team do 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.320 I want to win? Because I hate the least amount 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.679 of players on the other teams. Right, So if you, 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.800 like you guys lost with the Cubs. So if I 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.440 would have lost the Cubs, I'm like, man, guess yeah. 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:40.800 Right. 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:45.400 So now that you're on Toronto and they were one game, 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.880 I mean, they were this far from winning the World Series, 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.440 how do you help them get back there? And how 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:52.040 do you help. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.680 Them get this much farther to get the ring on 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:55.080 your finger? 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.319 Because if you if you watched that series, the crowds 0:10:58.360 --> 0:10:59.319 are the whole playoffs. 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:03.120 The crowds are incredible, honestly, I mean the simplest answer 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:05.280 is to perform. You know, I'll take the ball every 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:10.280 five days into to perform. You know. I don't know 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:11.360 what to say other than that. 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.240 Okay, and that's fair, by the way. In Toronto, I 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.240 don't know people at home that don't know much about you. 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.000 You're you're you're kind of like a renaissance man because 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:21.920 you have a lot of interest away from baseball. 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.840 Disc golf is your thing, right, You're kind of your. 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:26.920 I got a lot of things, yeah, but disc golf. 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.280 Is one of you. You bought a disc golf. 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.360 I own a couple of courses. I'm trying to make 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:32.560 moves in some different areas. It hasn't, it hasn't. 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:34.760 But does Toronto have disc golf? 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.360 I've heard they do. I heard they do. I'm not 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.719 going to play for the next seven years. I want 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.680 to be more on like the uh entrepreneurial side of it. 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.719 Maybe we'll see, but no, I'm not. Uh yeah, I'm 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.760 I'm I'm saving my body for for the squad. 0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:53.880 Who will you miss the most teammate wise from the padres? 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.880 Just now, that's a tough one. That's a tough one 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.280 that more than one name? Can I name more than 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:01.400 a couple of Yeah, you can throw a few out there. 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.640 I mean it's like I'll miss this guy's jokes or whatever. 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.520 Yeahah, it's I mean, realistically, I really liked everyone on 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.800 the team, so I'm gonna miss everybody. I mean, Jason 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:14.839 Adams is a great guy, you know. Joe Musgrove, He's good, 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.559 he's always in high spirits, he's always making dad jokes. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.560 He's a good man. He's just a really good man. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.000 I'm gonna miss Joe. I mean, that guy is a 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:25.360 natural born leader and a bulldog and just another good man. 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.840 You know. Uh, you know, I'm gonna miss a lot 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.040 of the staff and miss Michael King to Toronto. I'd 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:35.920 be nice, be nice. Mike's Uh, Mike's a sharp guy. 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.000 He's really sharp. Have you talked to him on here before? Yes? 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:40.120 Before Michael King? 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:47.640 Uh no, no, did he really? 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:49.880 I mean, what does that tell you? 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.440 I mean, there are not many that haven't been on 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.720 at this point. So maybe we'll get him. After he signed, 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.040 he'll be really happy. He's a free agent. He's worth 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:01.920 having process, He's worth having on here. What about darbage man? 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.360 You? You is one of the most humble, modest guys 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:04.960 I've ever met. 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:06.720 Does he have more pitches than you? 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:07.679 Yeah? 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:08.760 Does he have a better slider? 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:10.560 Not only does he have more pitches than me, He'll 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:12.320 go ahead and throw a side arm with all his 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.280 pitches and that makes fifteen new pitches. So yeah, he's 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.840 got I mean the way that guy can manipulate a ball. 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.480 And uh, you know, I mean he's another one. I 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:25.040 mean he he he is just modest and doesn't stop 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:25.840 trying new things. 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:27.240 Does he have a better slider than you? 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.880 Because I listen, I caught him in twenty thirteen he 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:32.920 had he had the best. 0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:37.079 It's also asked goes Hey who's the best picture. And 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.160 I said, we got to quantify that because pitcher stuff, 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.720 all that stuff. I said, the best stuff. 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:44.040 I've ever seen was prime you darbage, garbage. Yeah, it 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.160 was his slider literally got halfway there and just went like. 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.360 I mean he struck out what two hundred and eighty 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.840 guys or something like that. Yeah, I mean crazy, Yeah 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.360 that it's cool that he really and he probably was 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.400 still a pitch ability guy then obviously he was a 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:57.160 big stuff guy. 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:57.640 Yeah. 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.720 And uh, and now he's you know, if he wants 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.720 to throw ninety two, he throws. If you wants to 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:04.240 throw ninety six, if you wants to throw sinkers, if 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.839 you wants to throw splitters, change ups. I mean, there 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:08.679 is not a pitch that you dovers can't throw. And 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.559 I don't know how he does it, you know, I 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:11.400 don't know how he does it. 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:12.880 I've got one more for you. 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.240 A while you mentioned the slider, can you explain, I 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.120 mean kind of nerd to your baseball question, but like 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:21.240 how you go through your process of like your slider shape, right, 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.840 and what that goes through. I know sometimes you got 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.640 a tinker and it's been obviously a money pitch for you, 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.000 but it's not like it's coming out the same way 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:29.840 at all times either. 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.520 Yeah, you know, Baseball's kind of funny in the sense 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:36.120 of sometimes your pitches analytically can say one thing. But 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:38.400 if I don't throw it in the proper way, if 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.080 I don't put my full force behind it, if I 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.720 don't use my legs properly, maybe I open up early 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.200 and they see it better. It doesn't always, it doesn't 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.640 always correlate analytically, which is kind of you know, I mean, 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:52.880 I know that makes sense. It's until you experience it 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.800 as a pitcher, you wouldn't really understand it though. And 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.520 for me, I mean, you know, obviously, anytime my slider 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:03.600 shape gets off, it's concerning because it is my best pitch. 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.040 But you know, I'm always trying to keep the right 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:09.560 amount of depth on it and obviously locating it's always 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.360 going to take the president. But you know, if if, 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.840 what I've realized in baseball is if you're if you're on, 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:17.600 you can miss down the middle. You can you can 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.160 you know, you can get away with things and and 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.720 when you're a little bit off or when something's not happening, 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:24.400 then it's you don't have as big of a room 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:29.160 of error. So you know that's I'm I'm trying to 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.840 improve my my areas, my margins. I'm trying to maximize 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.360 and be more consistent with with the stuff. 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:39.200 This is a good point though, because stuff plus those 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:42.560 kind right or internal metrics. Some teams have that, but 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:44.880 it doesn't have deception built into that model. 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:46.360 They could be like, this pitch is sick. 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:47.160 Why is it getting hit? 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:48.320 And it's like because they're seeing it. 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.600 I'm telling you from my experience, there's times where I'm 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.760 clicking mechanically and my ninety six blows guys away. And 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:56.920 there's times where I'm not out in my mechanics, I'm 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:58.560 throwing ninety nine and they can see it out of 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.240 my hand. I don't know how to explain it other that, 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:02.800 so I guess, well, you know, I'll get with the 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.480 guys here in Toronto and and uh, we'll see what 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:06.560 they got quickly though. 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.040 I mean, you know a game, if you're like, yeah, man, 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:10.800 that really came out good, but the guy whacked it. 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:13.120 I mean I'd like to say yes, but you know, 0:16:13.720 --> 0:16:16.160 if you look at my track record, I've had inconsistencies. 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:20.600 So sometimes yes, sometimes I go weeks and whatever where 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.320 where I don't, But I'd like to think as I'm 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.360 getting older and more mature and more repetitions and more experience, 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.080 I will be able to adjust that even quicker. Plus 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.640 a staff behind me that's going to be helping my 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.160 boom mechanics and all that. You know, they take a 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:35.560 lot of the thinking out of it. I can just 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:39.960 go out and perform. So short answer, yes, Tracord history. 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:42.400 That's okay, all right, before we let you go. Last thing, 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.080 you have your Toronto they had they had? Can you 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:47.680 get you to put it on so everyone can see 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:48.200 what it looks like? 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:49.520 Yeah? Had her jersey? 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:51.960 I mean what jersey? For sure? They have a mess 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:55.800 of your hair. Everyone people want to see him in 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:56.400 his new jersey. 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:03.960 Yeah, no joke, Dylan. We have a huge Canadian fans. 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:05.920 For the Blue Jays. 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:11.800 They crushed. That's not true. What my team growing up, 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:15.560 Matt Matt's. But I'm pretty neutral. I had to call games. 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.480 But we have a big Blue Jays. They've got We've 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:19.000 got a big We. 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:20.520 Don't want to mess up the flow, So let's not 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.480 put the hat on jersey with eighty four? 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:27.200 Yeah, of course I love it. 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:28.560 He needs help. 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.880 I got him. If he breaks the mic, mark has 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:32.240 to buy it. 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:34.560 There we go. 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.120 That's a good way to to finish the. 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.720 Streets the great way. Yeah sorry, but I know we 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:42.080 love it. 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:47.359
