Speaker 4: not knowing who he was, and I for one hundred

25
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,800

00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 4: wake up, go get some coffee and come back. So, yeah,

30
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 4: of course I knew who you were.

31
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 3: I'm calling. I'm calling BS on that one I walked by.

32
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 5: My hat was not I never wear my hat down low.

33
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 5: I did have a hood on and sunglasses, so I'll

00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 5: give you that. But I was like, agent didn't realize.

35
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 5: And then I get inside and they're like, hey, they

36
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 5: want to go on the show. I'm like, maybe I

37
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 5: won't go.

38
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: Well, it's good to see you, dude, and we recognize

00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: So anyway, are you one of those guys that's like, yeah, whatever,

41
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: spring training, let's speed this up. I mean, you've pitched

42
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 2: a lot, right, like over the years. I was actually

43
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: just looking up. I'm like, how did you pitch, like, say,

44
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three when you guys made it the

45
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: World Series almost two hundred and fifty innings, or you

46
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: were like, hey, this seems really good. Let's just get

47
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: my work in quick start the real play.

48
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, spring training is like uh for me, it's like

49
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 5: there's like three stages. It's like the beginning is like exciting,

50
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 5: like all the boys are coming back, the fellas there

51
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 5: in the in the clubhouse, we're hanging out, you know,

52
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 5: we're having a good time.

53
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 3: And then the game start and you're like, all right, cool.

54
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 5: When you make your first start and you know, from

55
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 5: a picture standpoint, I'm like, all right, this is fun.

56
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 5: And then by like start two and three, you're like,

57
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 5: all right, I'm bored. And then the last like probably

58
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 5: week to ten days, you can smell opening day and

59
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 5: you're like kind of getting invigorated again. So that's kind

60
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 5: of the ebb and flow for me over my last

61
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 5: few spring trainings of like I'm at that spot now

62
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 5: where we're like we're getting close opening day, but it's

63
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 5: still two and a half weeks away. I'm like, all right,

64
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 5: let's get this thing rolling.

65
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: Are you wasz that grinky type in spring training? Do

66
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 4: you tinker? Are you a tinkerer? You try like something

67
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: crazy just to make sure it's on table, Like you know,

68
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: you sued to throw the big epis pitching spring train.

69
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 5: No, I would always try and add something, but I've

70
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 5: noticed over time I need to be smart about what

71
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 5: I'm adding. I think last year I tried to add

72
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 5: a break the ball that went a little more left

73
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 5: and kind of screwed up my delivery a little bit.

74
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 5: So try to be smart about what I'm adding. But

75
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 5: I know at some point in time, I'm not gonna

76
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 5: be twenty nine anymore.

77
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to.

78
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 5: Just can you have I mean, in a perfect world,

79
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 5: I probably have five or six I have, Like I

80
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 5: have a if I could throw a two seam and

81
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 5: then get a slider that goes left, that's six pitches.

82
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,839
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not gonna be twenty nine throwing ninety five.

83
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,839
Speaker 5: And you know I'm gonna get old at some point,

84
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 5: so I gotta adapt or die. That's that's kind of

85
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 5: where I'm at.

86
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 6: Okay, No, pitchers don't pictures don't ever need to adapt.

87
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 6: They just they played way longer than position players, especially

88
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 6: athletic pitchers from the north. Like you, you don't even

89
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 6: have that many miles on you yet. So free agency.

90
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 6: Free agency is gonna be your oyster. The world is

91
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 6: gonna be your oyster. Are you looking forward to it?

92
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 5: Looking forward to it is an interesting way to put it.

93
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 5: I'm embracing it. I think I'm getting that question a

94
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 5: lot about you know, the mental side of free agency.

95
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 5: I've been treating it a lot like the draft coming

96
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 5: out of college. I think if you ignore what's at stake,

97
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 5: you're doing yourself a disservice. But I think if you're also,

98
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 5: like really kind of geared up for it, you're also

99
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 5: doing yourself a disservice. So like, I'm just embracing the

100
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 5: fact that I worked really hard in my career, worked

101
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 5: really hard in this spot of my life from my

102
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 5: family to get to this point in my life and

103
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 5: and our journey. So for me, I'm just embracing it

104
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 5: and just gonna try out and go be healthy and pitch.

105
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 3: Well.

106
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: Have you talked to Corbyn about it?

107
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 3: Corbin Burns? No, not really, we haven't talked about it

108
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 3: at all.

109
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 4: Did you touch with the cutter soon?

110
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get'm but goes back to my conversation of

111
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 5: tinkering too much, I might get out of whack.

112
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 3: But yes, that is a pitch. I would be very intrigued, Diden,

113
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: very interested.

114
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: In Yeah, right, pulled the glove like on his side

115
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 4: over here and wiggle. We're not showing it.

116
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna yea like this.

117
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 5: I'll bother him and once the season starts, I'm letting

118
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 5: him do this thing right now. Get it gets settled

119
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 5: once once the season starts, then I'll start picking his

120
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 5: brain a little bit more and seeing what you.

121
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 4: How excited were you that when the Diamonbacks signed him,

122
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: because you you're kind of the ace. Now you bring

123
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 4: in another ace, so now you have two aces.

124
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was. I was ecstatic. Really.

125
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 5: I I think I kind of knew a couple hours

126
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 5: early benefits of having the same agent, that it was

127
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 5: something that could legitimately happen. And I knew just how

128
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 5: close we were last year and just injuries and things

129
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 5: like that. And I've known Corbin now for a couple

130
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 5: of years. The type of competitory is kind of like,

131
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 5: you know, the workhorse he is. So I was ecstatic

132
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 5: and just kind of looking back to teams that tend

133
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 5: to do really well comes to the playoffs and you know,

134
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 5: winning World Series, they have a lot of really good pitching.

135
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 5: So for me, I was I was pumped about it

136
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: just to have another guy, you know, to be able

137
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 5: to shoulder the load with the rest of the guys

138
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 5: we have in that clubhouse is awesome real.

139
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: Quick, and then we'll let the TV audience go to

140
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: their commercial and all that. But did you have any

141
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: say in the recruiting or you just I did not have, Okay.

142
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 3: I just found out about it. Yeah.

143
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 5: I kind of was under the impression he was going

144
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 5: to go somewhere else, so I didn't even bother Like,

145
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 5: I knew he wanted to come here. He'd expressed that

146
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 5: interest A lot of guys have.

147
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I think just just.

148
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 5: The culture we have here, in the simplicity and the

149
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 5: logistics of playing here and living here. But no, I

150
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 5: had no. No, I probably would have screwed it up.

151
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 5: So maybe it was a good thing that I did

152
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 5: that I didn't have.

153
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: And ft fam Arena club is the modern way to

154
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 2: collect cards or buy or sell or trade or even grade.

155
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: And we're highlighting slab packs because this is the new

156
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: way to rip open a pack and get a really

157
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: good card.

158
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: AJ.

159
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 2: But also if you're not into the card, like I

160
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: know you pulled a Bob Gibson card recently, you can

161
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: get an offer of ninety percent of the estimated value

162
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 2: you and just accept it on the spot and give

163
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: it right back and maybe try again with another slap pack.

164
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 4: I ain't getting rid of my Bob Gibson autograph card.

165
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: Bob Gibson ain't card signing cards anytime soon, so I'm

166
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 4: keeping this one. It gets graded for you. There's no mess.

167
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 4: The only thing I wish they had bubblegum. Can they

168
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 4: virtually send me some bubble gumps?

169
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: Cut?

170
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: Other than that, it's awesome. You can buy sell cards,

171
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 4: they grate them instantly for you, and physically you can

172
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 4: also get the cards if you want them, So I'm

173
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 4: all for this. This is one of the coolest things

174
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 4: I've ever seen.

175
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, those cards are in your showroom in the app,

176
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: and then of course you can get the card physically

177
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: sent to you. So right now you can get twenty

178
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: percent off your first slab pack or card purchase by

00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,960

Speaker 2: club dot com slash foul code foul for twenty percent

181
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: off your first purchase. Zach, Obviously, you guys have had success.

182
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: I mean even last year. You're an eighty nine win team.

183
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: Year before you make it to the World Series. So

184
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: you're confident in the ball club.

185
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: That you have.

186
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 2: Do you feel like the addition of Corbyn to playoff

187
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: what they're saying makes you, guys, you know, a very

188
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: legit World Series contender and that you can keep up

189
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: with frankly, a national league that looks more talented than

190
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: the American league, I mean Dodgers, Braves, Philly's Matts, et cetera.

191
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

192
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 5: I mean I think, like you said, we were an

193
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 5: eighty nine win team last year with a lot of

194
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 5: guys missing a significant part. Significant guys missing a significant

195
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 5: part of the season. I mean, you lose Merrill for

196
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 5: three four months, you lose e Rod for three four months.

197
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 5: I went down for a month, like Marte missed a month.

198
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 5: I mean you're talking about, you know, guys who grinded

199
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 5: out eighty nine wins. So from a talent standpoint, I think, yeah,

200
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 5: we absolutely got better with the addition of Gordon Burns. Obviously,

201
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 5: you know, losing Walker and Jock is tough, but you

202
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 5: know you fill that right back in with with Naylor

203
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 5: and I think you know, big things out of Pavin

204
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 5: this year. So and our bullpen, you had Puck at

205
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: the deadline, some guys like Graveman and Shelby Miller, and

206
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 5: then you know, in addition to the guys we have

207
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 5: here already, Like, I'm excited for this year just this

208
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 5: is probably on paper, I would say the most talented

209
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 5: team I might have ever played on in my career, definitely,

210
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 5: and I would say professional baseball. So yeah, I'm really

211
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 5: excited for this year and to see what's to come.

212
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 6: I mean, you want to finish the season with parade?

213
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 6: Does it mean anything else different when you're going for

214
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 6: a parade at the end of the season, and you

215
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 6: watched the Eagles parade, Like, do you look at it

216
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 6: differently going into your year here with the Diamondbacks.

217
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think that that's what everyone sets

218
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 5: out to do, is to finish the year with the parade.

219
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 5: So we were super close two years ago, and then obviously,

220
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 5: like you said, I just saw my Eagles, you know,

221
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 5: celebrate down Broad Street. So for me to be able

222
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 5: to be a part of a parade of my own,

223
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 5: especially in a city here who's who's been longing for

224
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 5: a championship for twenty plus years, I think it would

225
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 5: be super fun. I think it would really be a

226
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 5: testament to the culture and just the vibe that we

227
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 5: just have kind of I don't know, accumulated here. It's

228
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 5: it's been a lot of fun and uh so we'll

229
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 5: see what happens.

230
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 4: By the way, I don't did you mention any position

231
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 4: players and guys in this time? Oh could tell? Yeah,

232
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 4: And you know you didn't mess and you mentioned your catcher.

233
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 4: You always gott to mess with your catcher.

234
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: Walker missed some time.

235
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 5: Well, I could have been standing on the soapbox been like,

236
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 5: I mean, everybody was legitimately hurt, so it would have

237
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 5: been most of the segment if I would have been like, yeah,

238
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 5: Gabby was hurt, Walk was hurt.

239
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 3: We had some guys miss some time.

240
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 5: I mean, so it's not easy, but you know we

241
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 5: we had guys grind it out.

242
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: And I think that's.

243
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 5: Just just what that That just shows you what that

244
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 5: clubhouse is made.

245
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: Up in there.

246
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 4: Bigger Eagles fan, you or Trout?

247
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 3: I think Trout probably.

248
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 4: Really Do you have season tickets? No? Why not?

249
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 5: I would be a ginormous Eagles fan if I had

250
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 5: tickets like Trout would be sitting right there on that Now.

251
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 3: I'm a big use fan.

252
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 4: You can't afford it.

253
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is true.

254
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 4: Are you in Trout National?

255
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: Uh, that's funny you say that.

256
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 5: Actually just was talking to trout the other day about

261
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 5: to get to like at least one on the East Coast.

262
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,560

Speaker 4: Was he like a Was he the Todd Frazier of

296
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 4: your era in the Jersey area?

297
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 5: I remember so so Arsenal didn't have little league teams.

298
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 3: I was on the first.

299
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 5: Me and all my friends were on the first Little

300
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 5: League team they did thirteen and older, so we had

301
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 5: the same coach that that coach Trout like on the

302
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 5: way up, and I remember him talking about Mike can

303
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 5: be like, yeah, this kid, this kid, We're like, and

304
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 5: then you get older and it's like, okay, now he's

305
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 5: just junior in high school. Senior in high school, and

306
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 5: it's like twenty scouts of these games, thirty scouts of

307
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 5: these games.

308
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 3: So we kind of knew.

309
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 5: And then the first thing when it kind of clicked,

310
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 5: when I was like, oh, this guy must be legit

311
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 5: was he was like I'm going to Secaucus for the draft,

312
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,760

313
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 5: Like this guy's gonna be a first rounder. So yeah,

314
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 5: we kind of knew, like he was in the facility

315
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 5: every day and so yeah, and then now you see,

316
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 5: it's kind of crazy.

317
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 4: To see you better get that in. But that's awesome.

318
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 3: I mean we talked about it.

319
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 4: I mean, who would I see the other day that

320
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 4: got the whole thing that opened up Weaver. Weaver got

321
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 4: like this whole it was like.

322
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 3: Whole thing like social media. Oh I have to take

323
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 3: a look at this.

324
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like this whole thing like welcome to Trout

325
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 4: National Membership blah blah blah.

326
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm not. I mean, we'll see. I

327
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 3: don't I don't know how much talking. I don't know

328
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 3: if i'm if I'm talking about right now, he might

329
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: be like, hey, you're out, like we don't show.

330
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, it might be exclusive, you know, I don't know.

331
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: I'm not. I mean, I can't.

332
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 4: How about this. How about we go play golf. If

333
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 4: I beat you, I'm in. If you beat me, I'm out.

334
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 3: All right, we'll see.

335
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 4: I think you could win that fight, right, how about

336
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 4: if you face I think if I punch you out,

337
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 4: then I'm in.

338
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 3: I think he's a better than me.

339
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 5: Honestly, I think so a scratch, No, no, no, no,

340
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 5: I thought you were like a scratch. I'm like an eight.

341
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 5: I think he's like a three. Merril's Merrill's a good golfer.

342
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 5: He's he before he had his kids, he was probably

343
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 5: a scratch.

344
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 4: Really, he's the best golfer here.

345
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 3: At this point in time.

346
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, when Barry and Right was here, it was a

347
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 5: different story. He's good, unbelievable, unbelievable. Him and Carson Kelly

348
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 5: really good. Cars is another good golfer. He's probably plus

349
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 5: one plus two. So yeah, I I they give me

350
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 5: you know I get shots, but sometimes I don't do

351
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 5: with them what I should, So I wanted up losing money.

352
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: Anyway, Hey, Zach, question for you. Somehow I'll get us

353
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: back to a little bit of baseball talk to finish.

354
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 4: Yes, I want to talk about it.

355
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: AJ has a golf show. Yeah, it's called Green Territory

356
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: or whatever. Anyway, Corbyn Cairal last year struggled four months,

357
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: you know, shows like us, We're trying to figure it

358
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: out and people everyone's like, is he hurt?

359
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: Whatever?

360
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: It didn't seem like that was the case, and then

361
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: he looked like himself for the last couple of months.

362
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: Curious for someone like you, obviously being in the league

363
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: for a minute, I know you're not a position player,

364
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: what that was like for you to watch someone who

365
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 2: had such early success in the big leagues, you know,

366
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: get the contract extension, get to the World Series and

367
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: you expect him to be an MVP candidate the next year,

368
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: actually go through the classic sophomore slump, Like what did

369
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: it look like from your perspective? And and is he

370
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: a guy that you know was open to combos or

371
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: kind of just kept his head down and was like

372
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to figure this out on my own.

373
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was definitely, uh for sure open to combos

374
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 5: I remember like talking to him a little bit, just

375
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 5: from a pitcher's standpoint of like I think just from

376
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 5: the outside looking in of like just kind of observing

377
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 5: him from afar, Like, it seemed to me that Corbin

378
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 5: had a really good rookie year and learned the hard

379
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 5: lesson that we're all human and that trying to improve,

380
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 5: like I've been guilty of it too, Like, oh, I

381
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 5: have a really good year. All right, cool, I think

382
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 5: I have everything mastered. I'm gonna try and add another pitch.

383
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 5: And I think from corbyn standpoint, it was like, Okay,

384
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 5: I had a really good year, won the Rookie of

385
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 5: the Year, I finished top five in the MVP. I'm

386
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 5: gonna now try and cover a pitch that had been

387
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 5: giving me trouble. So I think walking that fine line

388
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 5: of I know what I do really well, I know

389
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 5: what I don't do well, and trying not to sway

390
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 5: one way or the other. I think it's kind of what,

391
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 5: at least just from conversations with Corbin like might have

392
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 5: went on. But he was definitely open to conversation. I

393
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 5: mean I remember, you know, Jock was talking to him

394
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 5: a lot. I was talking to him just from in

395
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 5: terms of a pitcher standpoint, just you know how hard

396
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 5: it is to locate at the spots that he has

397
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 5: trouble that he was like struggling trying to hit. It's like, hey,

398
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 5: just make the pitcher prove that he's going to hit

399
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 5: that spot three times in a row. It's a hard

400
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 5: it's a hard thing to do. So just trying to

401
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 5: give him confidence from that. But I mean, he looks

402
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 5: like he's you know, he figured out in the second

403
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 5: half and he's been on absolute fire in spring training.

404
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 5: So Corbyn's a guy who's very cerebral, and I think

405
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 5: he is going to be just fine.

406
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 4: What's your best pitch?

407
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 3: My curb probably my curveball.

408
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 4: Curveball you had to get if you had to get

409
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 4: somebody out and you had one pitch, you would be

410
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 4: your curveball.

411
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I mean.

412
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 4: I've never I don't know if I mean, maybe Barry

413
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 4: Zito I heard say that before, but curveball is usually not,

414
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 4: especially in today's game. You don't hear people say, man,

415
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna rip a curveball.

416
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 5: Like for me, I think I'm really good when I'm

417
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 5: pitching off my fastball. I think a lot of teams

418
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 5: know that. So like, when I'm obviously commanding the fastball,

419
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 5: it's gonna just like anyone else. But if I had

420
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 5: a bases loaded jam with like two outs, and I like,

421
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 5: you're going to have to try and hit my curveball

422
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 5: at some point, like, it'd be hard for me to

423
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 5: eliminate that pitch.

424
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Zach, I've got one more for you.

425
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: We've asked a few others at camp today about this topic,

426
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 2: and I want to preface it that we ask it

427
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 2: with respect. I want to know your thoughts on the

428
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: Dodgers offseason, and you're like, well, we're the Diamondbacks. Why

429
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 2: do I care? Well, because you guys took them down

430
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. Your team has looked at

431
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: as a club that could slay the Dragon, whether it's

432
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 2: in the division or later on in the playoffs. So

433
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 2: do you look at that team and feel like, even

434
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 2: when you face them in the regular season, there's more

435
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 2: juice to it. There's more motivation based on now winning

436
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: a World Series, which they did, and how much Ammo

437
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: they've added to their roster.

438
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 3: I think there's definitely.

439
00:18:58,760 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 4: More juice.

440
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: I don't know.

441
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 5: I think you know, when you play teams in your

442
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 5: division who you have a rivalry against, the teams you're playing,

443
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 5: you know, you know, used to be nineteen that's thirteen

444
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 5: times a year. I think there's always going to be

445
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 5: some an added level of juice just because it's an

446
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 5: in division rival Yeah, and obviously it's no secret they

447
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 5: went out and spent a lot of money, which from

448
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 5: a player standpoint, I'm glad they did that. You know,

449
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 5: it's good for the players, good for the game that

450
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 5: they're trying to go out there and put the best

451
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 5: product in the field they possibly can. And I mean,

452
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 5: I think my sentiment when playing them hasn't changed over

453
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 5: the last you know, four or five years, is that

454
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 5: if you want to accomplish what you want to accomplish,

455
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 5: which ultimately ends in a parade at the end of

456
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 5: the year, you're going to have to go through the

457
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 5: best teams. And right now, on paper, they're probably the

458
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 5: best team in baseball. But as we know, baseball is

459
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 5: a game that can't be played on paper. So we're

460
00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 5: still going to show up, We're going to play the

461
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 5: game and se happens. I think for us, we proved

462
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 5: to ourselves in twenty three that you know, we're not

463
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 5: we're not intimidated. It's it's it's a game of baseball.

464
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 5: We can play our brand and still win and see

465
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 5: what happens. So I think for us that was kind

466
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 5: of a calming effect for this group in that clubhouse

467
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 5: going forward, when.

468
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 4: You do your scouting reports, before you go through your

469
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 4: scouting because you're you're you said Corbyn, Carol was cerebral.

470
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 4: You're you're very cerebral when you pitch, When you go

471
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 4: through your scouting reports and you look at you see

472
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 4: show Freddy. Is there one guy you look at and say.

473
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: In that lineup or in general in life, in my career, yeah.

474
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, there's someone that's better than those three.

475
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 4: Please tell no.

476
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 5: I was wondering where you met, Like if there was

477
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 5: a guy that, like, all right, who owned you in

478
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 5: your career in my career, yeah, Rhymel Tapia really ten

479
00:20:53,560 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 5: for nineteen I think, wow, you huh. He he's a

480
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 5: quick runner. So a lot of like hits where you know,

481
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 5: bounce whatever. And then I'm like, all right, cool, like

482
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 5: let's challenge him.

483
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 3: Homer.

484
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 5: I'm like, dude, Yeah, I mean in that lineup, it's tough. Obviously,

485
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 5: it really presents you with a challenge of like I

486
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 5: can't pitch around show Hey. Let's say show Hey, Lee's

487
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 5: off at Showy Mookie Freddie, It's like, I can't pitch

488
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 5: you are on show and put him on first base

489
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 5: because he could steal fifty bags, so that's already a downside.

490
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 5: And then Mooky's on deck he's and then.

491
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: So you really have to pick your spots.

492
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 2: Let's talk Diamondbacks for a moment here. If you remember

493
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 2: two years ago was the magic right. They actually won

494
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: less games in twenty twenty three than in twenty twenty four,

495
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: but there was just more competition for that wildcard spot

496
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: and it wasn't just Corbyn. Carrol could tell Marte some

497
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 2: of those starters like Brandon Fought stepping up the bullpen

498
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: the damage two years ago and one of those names

499
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 2: who really stood out Kevin Ginkel joining us right now

500
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 2: on FT with the Diamondbacks and aj right there, Kevin,

501
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: do you hear Yeah?

502
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 4: It wasn't plugged in all, Okay, you got it. You

503
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 4: hear about it yet, But by the way, he doesn't

504
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 4: realize that we had we had a Burns interview lined

505
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 4: up here. So you just bumped Corbyn really, so just

506
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 4: remember that you see going there and tell them that

507
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 4: you bumped.

508
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: Them, all right, I will, I'll let him know. I'll

509
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: let him know that the big dog's here.

510
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go.

511
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 2: Hey, how does this group look, Kevin? I mean, you've

512
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: been with the team for a minute now, so do

513
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 2: you feel more excited than ever about what you see?

514
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: Talent wise?

515
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: It's exciting, it really is. And I know it's kind

516
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: of an old cliche where everybody's excited for spring training

517
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: and everybody has expectations, But I just feel like with

518
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: the club we have and the way the ownership's kind

519
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: of reinvested into the team, I think the sky's limb

520
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: it we got we got a lot of good pieces here.

521
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: I think Naylor fitting in at first is gonna be

522
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: nice for us. And just I love how call me is,

523
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: you know. I think on the field you get a

524
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: totally different Josh Naylor from what I've seen, But I

525
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: think from how he is in the clubhouse and how

526
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: he treats other guys, it's it's nice. So I'm looking

527
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: forward to this year and obviously with Corbyn BYRNS signing

528
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: with US as well. It's it's uh, kind of puts

529
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: us in a different category, and I think solidifies what

530
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: kind of expectations we can we can have and they're

531
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: pretty high.

532
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,239
Speaker 4: What's your role this year? What's your role?

533
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: You're gonna ask you that, No, because well, first of all,

534
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: who's the closer? I have no clue.

535
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 4: We'll see that.

536
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: So then that's why it leads me to what's your

537
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: role going to be? If you guys have options, I

538
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: think I think how Toy is gonna line it up?

539
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: I think is he might have you know, Martinez close

540
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: a game, or he might a bazillion have a puck, right,

541
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: you could have me, And it really is day to day, right,

542
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 1: So like how the bullpen gets used one game, you

543
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 1: know can effect going into the next game.

544
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 4: So I, you know, do you prefer one? Maybe that

545
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 4: should be the question.

546
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: I would like to know who's going to close, so

547
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: it kind of puts everybody else at ease.

548
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 4: Well, then that's my question because we've had you know,

549
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 4: some teams are like, oh, it doesn't matter who closes,

550
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 4: But every team I've been on, every person I usually

551
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 4: talk to that's in the game, you want to have

552
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 4: a defined role as a bullpend guy. You're the you're

553
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 4: the closer, and then you work your way kind of

554
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: backwards from there. You have an eighth inning guy, you

555
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 4: have a lefty guy, you have a seventh inning guy,

556
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 4: so you can get everything lined up for the closer

557
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 4: guy at the end.

558
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 3: So for me, what what role?

559
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I've I've had experience in a lot

560
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: of different roles. I'm comfortable with with the eighth, you know, seventh.

561
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: Like I like coming into those spots. You know, whether

562
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: it's the heart of the lineup coming up, and you know,

563
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: it turns it over to the eighth inning guy or

564
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: the ninth inning guy and they maybe don't have to

565
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: face like the heart of the order and it makes

566
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: getting those last threey outs in the game maybe a

567
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: little bit easier on paper. But I you know, either way,

568
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: like I I love pitching in the ninth as well.

569
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: It's it's a it's a great role and it's exciting.

570
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: You know. Obviously there's there's pressure too.

571
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 4: That you get paid more close exactly exactly, we all

572
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 4: we all know that.

573
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: And so either way, I'd love to I'd love to

574
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 1: help in whatever ways. But you know, whoever, whoever is

575
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: going to get that role, I think we're gonna be

576
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna be just fine.

577
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 6: I know, a career seventh and eighth in in guy

578
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 6: in the bullpen never really got a ton of closing opportunities,

579
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 6: and when he did get to close for like thirty games,

580
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 6: he's like, Wow, my body feels way better because either

581
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 6: I'm in the game because we're winning or I'm not.

582
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 6: And rarely am I going like, oh, you know, we

583
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 6: could get you up, you know, oh no, they just

584
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 6: they protect the closer better. Do you feel like you

585
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 6: can stay healthier or even other pictures could stay healthier

586
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 6: if they were a defined closer role.

587
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: I I've absolutely cratzy. I think you notice it with

588
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: the ninth inning guy right where if the game kind

589
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: of gets close, it becomes a two three run game.

590
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: The closer is kind of getting ready to go mentally,

591
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: and then you know, if that eighth inning comes around

592
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 1: and you know, we don't have to you know, pitch him,

593
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: or we don't have to get them hot on the

594
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: mound and maybe go in the game, and then the

595
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: game switches and then we can avoid using them. You know,

596
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: those opportunities or those times when you have to get

597
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: hot in the bullpen are almost like pitching in a game, right,

598
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: because you're trying to treat it and with the same

599
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: intensity and the same kind of energy, And so the

600
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: wear and tear throughout the season can can play a

601
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: huge role in that.

602
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 4: So you know why closers are better because they don't

603
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 4: come out till the sixth inning. They're in their misk

604
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 4: getting massaged and yeah, eating grapes from the trainer.

605
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 3: Right.

606
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, the seventh eighth inning, guys are out there in

607
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 4: the first or second and they all walk out like

608
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 4: ducks right in a lit They all have their backpacks.

609
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 4: I think closers in there. Oh you need to take

610
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 4: a nap, right, right, So that's why you want to

611
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 4: be the clothes To be serious, you want to be

612
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 4: the closer so you can take the nap for the

613
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 4: first three innings.

614
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: Well, it is one hundred and sixty two games, right,

615
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 1: so you know to find to find rest here and there.

616
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: It is hard to get. But I think, uh, yeah,

617
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: like you notice it too, right, Like the guys that

618
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: pitch in the middle of part of the game. You know,

619
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: they come out right in the first inning and we're rolling.

620
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: So you know, I've seen, you know, all different guys

621
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: come through here where you know, one guy that came

622
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: to mind right now is Mark Millanson, right, had a

623
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: really good career and I know he kind of struggled

624
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: with us, but I mean he he was so disciplined

625
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: and like had an approaching what he was doing and

626
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: there was a great intention with why why he was

627
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: doing it. So yeah, he was. He was the guy

628
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: where it's like, all right, I'm coming out in the fifth,

629
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: I can just go and you know, whenever, the whenever,

630
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: the ninth. Then he comes and it's close. I'm in there.

631
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 4: So how much you love Arizona. I went to college

632
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,479
Speaker 4: in Arizona. Now you're in Arizona full time. I love

633
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 4: it man, And you aren't. You're not from aras Yeah,

634
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 4: so you become adopted or I know, I.

635
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: Know, it's like the Southern California thing now right where

636
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people from So cal are moving out

637
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 1: here and it's been it's been great, to be honest.

638
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: The summers have gotten tougher year by year. But you're inside, well,

639
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: I mean when you walk out to your cards one

640
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: hundred and ten degrees at nine o'clock, at night, and

641
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: so it's gotten I've really appreciated it more and more,

642
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: and I got a lot of friends out here now.

643
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: It makes a lot easier. And obviously a lot of

644
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: a lot of big league guys live here in the

645
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: offseason too, So I love it.

646
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 4: Man.

647
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,239
Speaker 1: It's it's a great place to be. I think now

648
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: you're starting to see obviously more free agents want to

649
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: come here and play here, So it's exciting.

650
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 6: As you were talking about Southern California, I mean, can

651
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 6: you beat the A's, I mean the A's, Can you

652
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 6: beat beat the Dodgers?

653
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 4: Can you beat La? Of course?

654
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean I I like to think every time we

655
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: play them, they they play a little bit tighter, you know.

656
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: I I don't know how, you know, like what their

657
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: dynamic is, right, but you know their expectation is to

658
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: win every game. And I think when when the lights

659
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: are on and we play those big games in the

660
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: middle of the season, you know they're gonna give us

661
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: their a game and we're going to try and give ours.

662
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: But we can beat those guys. Man, I feel very

663
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: lucky to be in the playoffs, you guys, right, And

664
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: I think that kind of like set the tone for

665
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: what the future was gonna be right. So I think

666
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: that time when we had that run in twenty twenty three,

667
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: it kind of shocked everyone because I think for a

668
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: long time we struggled against them, and to come into

669
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: that series and kind of take it to them early on,

670
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: I think it just kind of set them back and

671
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: it shocked everyone, to be honest. But you know, we're

672
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: I think we're a better team than what we were

673
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,239
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. And obviously they're really good too.

674
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: They're like, you know, they're gonna we're gonna have our

675
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 1: work work cut out for us. But I like, I

676
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: like how how it's sucked up?

677
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: Kevin, were you more surprised at how much they did

678
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: this past offseason, like adding Blake Snell and of course

679
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 2: recruiting rookie Sasaki or more surprised at how many teams

680
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: didn't go after some of the players that they were

681
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 2: able to pick up.

682
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of the question that's going around right like,

683
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: how how come the Dodgers are getting all these you know,

684
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: A plus free agents and and you know, whether it's

685
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: a trade or a free agency, like they're getting these

686
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: top named guys and no one else really in the

687
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: market is pursuing it and it's it's I will say

688
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: it's frustrating. I think from a from an organization standpoint.

689
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the front offices know what they're doing

690
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: and they have, you know, a certain amount of money

691
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,719
Speaker 1: they can spend. But you know, it's just frustrating at

692
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: times where you see, you know, you got thirty teams

693
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: and then a guy reaches free agency and then it

694
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: comes down to four or five and then you know

695
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: the dodgers of the team usually that are going to

696
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: pay a little bit more or offer a little bit more,

697
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: and usually you know that free agent is going to

698
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: take it. So you know, obviously the deferred money thing

699
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: has been a topic as well, where you know they're

700
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: they're putting all that money on the back end and

701
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: right now they're just going all in, going all in

702
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: to win. So you know, I like to I'd like

703
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: to play spoiler with that. I love that. I think

704
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: that's our man, Archie Bradley. There is he coming in

705
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: for a trial. I don't know, That's why I was like,

706
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: I saw him there for a second, I was like,

707
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: what's he doing here? But yeah, I'd love to play

708
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: spoiler spoiler against these guys, and you know it just

709
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: I think it adds a little more fuel to.

710
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 4: The fire for you just did okay too. I mean,

711
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 4: you went out and got the arguably the best picture

712
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 4: on the free agent market. You went out and got

713
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 4: Josh Naylor. And I know Christian Walker was a Stapley

714
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,239
Speaker 4: for a long time. He left and you went out

715
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 4: and got a pretty good replacement in Josh Naylor. It's

716
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 4: not like you guys threw in the towel, but you

717
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 4: guys don't have a lot of positions you can needed

718
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 4: to fill. I mean, you look at your infield, it's

719
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 4: pretty stacked. You go to the outfield, it's stack. You

720
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 4: go to the starting pitchers, it was already stacked. Your

721
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 4: relievers are set. It's not like you guys suck. You

722
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 4: won eighty nine games last year, I know, so it's

723
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 4: not like you needed Now. The Dodgers are just crazy

724
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 4: because they just go get everybody correct. But you guys

725
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 4: are already loaded for Baar and ready to go.

726
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: I think the other part of it too, is now,

727
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: like I think when you go through a major league season,

728
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: you see when guys come up and down and stuff.

729
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 1: But to go through a spring training now this year

730
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: where we miss the playoffs, like we're coming in with

731
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: a little chip on our shoulder. I think seeing the

732
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: depth we have, you know, from the position player standpoint,

733
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: and even from the bullpen right like I'm seeing some

734
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: guys come in and they're like ready to go, and

735
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: it gets me excited because it's like, Okay, if something

736
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: if an InTru or to happen here there, like I

737
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: know a guy or two can step in and fill

738
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: that position, and so that gets me excited too. Where

739
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: it's like from a depth perspective, like we can fill

740
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: a lot of holes, and you know, if something were

741
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: to happen here there, we can we can handle.

742
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 4: It all right. I just before we let you go

743
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 4: real quick, who throws the hardest on your team?

744
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: It's probably I mean, so yesterday during PFPS, we're doing

745
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: we're doing all these drills right, all these situations, there's

746
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: never a throw justin Martinez takes off, so like there's

747
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: a ball, like a bunp hit, he has to go

748
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 1: to the third base side, throw a laser first Naylor's

749
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: at first, he threw an absolute missile, and Naylor was

750
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: expecting it to maybe sink or whatever, and this ball

751
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: just blew him up. Was not ready for it. And

752
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: so to me, like that guy has just in a

753
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: unique arm like he can just run it up however

754
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: he wants. But yeah, I would say jam who was

755
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: the kid who was one hundred and one, Well, Jamison

756
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: yesterday I saw he was throwing one hundred hundred and one.

757
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: He just came back from Tommy John too. So it

758
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: blows my mind seeing like and and and jmar was

759
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: a guy who had Toarmy John a couple years ago

760
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: too and is coming back. So it's like, is that

761
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: the magic?

762
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 4: No, don't say that, No, it's not. He don't say no, no, no.

763
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 4: Ask Garrett Cole where he's feeling right right now? For sure.

764
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 4: Let's let's not say that, please.

765
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,720
Speaker 2: No, that's funny, though Martinez has ride on his throats

766
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 2: to first, so that that's it.

767
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 4: I wish you would have known that before we talked

768
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 4: to Naylor, because we could have asked him about getting

769
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 4: blown up from like one hundred and twenty feet away

770
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 4: and not right cratzy, because like we're sixty feet away

771
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 4: and we get it in there and you know you'll

772
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 4: come in to dugout in the first basic clank clank,

773
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 4: and you're like, dude, you just got blown up from
