I'm sure yours was 34 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 4: really expensive, so I get. 35 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, they actually the more holes and rips they have 36 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 2: in them, the more they actually go up in value. 37 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 2: So that works out. 38 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: It's like why it means that it's it's more weather, 39 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: so I pay for the same thing. 40 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 2: I get it. 41 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, but people can tell the difference between the ones 42 00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: that are like worn through, like where over the year, 43 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 3: versus like manufactured, So you have to be careful. 44 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 4: Okay, I won't. I won't even test those waters. It's 45 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 4: not that's that's if I had hair like yours, I 46 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 4: would test those waters. The only reason my shirts look 47 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 4: like that is because I put them on my clip 48 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 4: too many times in a row for them seasons that 49 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 4: I played.

We're doing it. 52 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 4: This is do you take two suitcases. I won't even 53 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 4: ask the question I was gonna ask, do you take 54 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 4: two suitcases on every road trip? 55 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: No? I don't. I don't at all. 56 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 5: One. 57 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: I know you just you learn how to pack over 58 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: the years. Just keep it one. I don't want to, 59 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 2: you know, drawing too munch time to myself. I'm bringing 60 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 2: two suitcases. 61 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 4: Okay, but then there's Aj. Now tell me if this 62 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 4: is good or bad? Because AJ dresses, well, he's not 63 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 4: like he's not like that. Okay, he's not your status AJ. 64 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, well he's got the he's got the brown 65 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 4: noser shirt. But AJ told us the other day he 66 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 4: writes down what his outfits are for a road trip 67 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 4: because he travels a lot. He does five he travels 68 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 4: every every continent every year, so he writes them down 69 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 4: so that he knows what outfits to wear. Excessive or 70 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 4: not excessive. 71 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think that's excessive. 72 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 3: I think AJ can dress however he wants it, well, 73 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: however he wants to dress. 74 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: I think with that. 75 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 3: With that, it's hard because you know, you're always on 76 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 3: camera every day, so you're gonna have people that are 77 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: gonna be outfit tracking you and you're gonna get blown 78 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 3: up about wearing the same nout for the same suit, 79 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 3: so you gotta be careful. 80 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 2: Whereas you know, I know the schedule of. 81 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 3: How these guys are gonna like take photos of us, 82 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: which generally happened like Big Series some of Night Baseball 83 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: Friday Night. So like, I can you know, easily pick 84 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: out one outphare that I know I'm gonna kind of 85 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 3: wear for. 86 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: A camera or whatever, so I don't have to worry 87 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 2: too much about it. 88 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 3: But if I was on camera every day like you guys, 89 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: I would probably do something similar. 90 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 5: Listen, you just wear a gray shirt every day or 91 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 5: I wore actually wore a Florida. I wore a blue 92 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 5: one of these yesterday for no good reason other than 93 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 5: it looks great with my eyes. And then they said 94 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 5: you were coming on, so look for me. I had 95 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 5: a black one that I could then wear today because 96 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 5: the Gator ater the Gator was coming on, so I 97 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 5: had to make sure that I represented two days in 98 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 5: a row so people can make fun of me. But 99 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 5: one was blue. One who's black. Sorry that you know. 100 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 5: They hooked me up with some stuff every once in 101 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 5: a while. 102 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 3: No, that's not good and I've also learned too that 103 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 3: like the better you play, you could just wear whatever 104 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: you want. 105 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 2: So let's just focus on that. 106 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 4: The reason I can't wear whatever I want. But anyway, 107 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 4: I'm done now, so I don't need to worry about that. 108 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 4: My question was gonna be when you see everybody in 109 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 4: free agency going off the board and you're hanging around 110 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 4: for a little bit, do you look at some of 111 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 4: those guys and go, ah, man, like I kind of was. 112 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 4: I was hoping to go there, or well, they had 113 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 4: called and now they didn't. Now they're not going to 114 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 4: call back, because that seems like a reciprocal move. Do 115 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 4: you watch it that closely? 116 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 2: Yeah? Absolutely. You know, I like to be involved with 117 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: every step of this process, and it's my livelihood. 118 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 3: It's what I'm obsessed with. It's what my family's obsessed with. 119 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 3: So you know, as much as I want answers, I 120 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 3: also want to keep them informed. So I always really 121 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 3: want to bring them information because as much as my 122 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 3: mind might wander, you know, I get to train every 123 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 3: day and focus on that, so I kind of get 124 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,239 Speaker 3: to take my mind off it. Whereas like my parents 125 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 3: and my sister and my loved ones, you know, they 126 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 3: think a lot, so I've remain informed and I just 127 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 3: feel like, you know, the big thing with freeency is 128 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 3: like letting your market develop. That was something that you 129 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 3: just kind of always hear and people always talk about, 130 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 3: and you know, really understanding what that means kind of 131 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 3: requires some information, and a lot of it is asking 132 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: questions on my end, like you mentioned, like why guys 133 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 3: go a certain way, how much a team has available 134 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 3: to spend, what their true needs are, what they're kind 135 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 3: of identifying to teams is what they might need to 136 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 3: build their roster in the off season, what they're going 137 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 3: to kind of relinquish and salary and what that might 138 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 3: free up. So all those other things I just really 139 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: like to remain involved with. But I think at the 140 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 3: end of the day, I think the ball really does 141 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 3: take care of you, and you really do ultimately end 142 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: up where a team kind of needs you, and whatever 143 00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: that looks like, whether it's the beginning of the off 144 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: season in the middle of the end, I think ultimately 145 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 3: you kind of land where you're where you're supposed to. 146 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: So a lot of that kind of is based on 147 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 3: what the team needs. So I'm just excited for the 148 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 3: opportunity that I got. I think I land in the 149 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 3: perfect spot for me, considering what the Giants stated that 150 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 3: they kind of wanted and need based off of last season, 151 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 3: And I'm just excited to go to work. You know 152 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 3: it's going to be a tall task, but I'm excited 153 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 3: to just you know, chip away at it every single day. 154 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: It's really all there is too. 155 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 3: It's just every single day just being my best version 156 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 3: of myself on that field. 157 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 2: So I'm excited I landed exact where I belonged. 158 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 5: Hey, Harrison, why the Giants? What did they tell You're 159 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 5: giving us all these reasons? Did they say all that 160 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 5: to you? Did they promise you starting in center field? 161 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 5: Why are the Giants? Why do you think it's such 162 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 5: a good fit for you in your game? 163 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 3: I mean, I think anything in sports, specially in baseball, 164 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 3: kind of where it's trending in terms of how the 165 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 3: game's developed. You know, I really don't believe anything that's promised. 166 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 3: You know, you have to prove that thing. You have 167 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 3: to prove it every single day. That's something we know 168 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: in this you know, in this on this zoom right now, 169 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: is in the game, you have to prove it every 170 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 3: single day. And they might you know, say there's an opening, 171 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: but you know it's your job as that athlete to 172 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 3: prove it every day. So so they did mention that 173 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 3: they do have a you know, a necessity in center 174 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 3: field and they want, you know, a better defensive outfield 175 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: and everything. So that was mentioned. But you know, you 176 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 3: can't take those things for granted. I think the opportunity 177 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: for me to play as much as possible, which has 178 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: always been my goal. 179 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: You know, I want to play every single day. 180 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: I think that opportunity was best in San Francisco, and 181 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 3: that's really what it's about, you know, dollar Sign and 182 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 3: everything involved. 183 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: You know, you want to be a part of a really, 184 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 2: really good clubhouse and you want to play as many 185 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 2: as many games as possible. 186 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 3: You know, you want as many exposure at bats, high 187 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 3: leverage at bats, big time situations as possible. So you know, 188 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 3: given that I really was simple, Sand fran was exactly 189 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: where I wanted to be. 190 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: I can't wait to you know. 191 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 3: I've been an East Coaster and spring training for ten 192 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: ten spring trainings, I think, so you know, San Francisco 193 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 3: opened a lot of new opportunities I'm excited to dive into. 194 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 3: I get to play in Arizona for spring training. I 195 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 3: get to play on the West Coast full time. So 196 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 3: all these things they might might see my challenges or 197 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 3: something that you know, might be difficult, but I view 198 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 3: them as the opposite. I view them as just really 199 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 3: good opportunities to prove how versatile my game is, how 200 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 3: quickly I can adapt. And you know, I really just 201 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 3: want to captivate an already awesome fan base, you know. 202 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: I want to show them what I'm made of. I 203 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: want to bring my game to San Francisco and to 204 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: bring my game to a new lineup. And you know, 205 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 2: anytime you get an. 206 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 3: Opportunity to be around superstars, or be in a new city, 207 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 3: or be with a new manager, I think you should 208 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 3: take advantage of it if you have the opportunity. So 209 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 3: I certainly did, and like I said many times, I'm thrilled, 210 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 3: and my family's thrilled. 211 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 2: So I can't wait. 212 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 4: I look at trends. When I look at stats from 213 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 4: guys seasons and playing against guys, it seems like the 214 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 4: better the team's doing, or the bigger the moment you 215 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 4: do better. 216 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: Is there something to do with that? 217 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 5: Is there? 218 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 4: I mean, Yankee fans kind of remember a few of 219 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 4: the swings that you had when you're in the playoffs 220 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 4: with them, you look back at your regular season with them, 221 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 4: they're like, oh man, you didn't even show up. Okay, 222 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 4: like pump the brakes he wasn't quite healthy, but okay, 223 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 4: Philly's last year, you guys were coming down. Like it's 224 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 4: there's so many times with Saint Louis, the years they 225 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 4: were good, Like, there's so many times. Is there something 226 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 4: to that? 227 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean I think. 228 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 3: I think in those big moments, you just you really 229 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 3: dive into your preparation, you really rely so have it 230 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 3: on their preparation, you know. 231 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: I think it's. 232 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 3: It, you know, when you're playing for something so much 233 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 3: bigger than your own stats. 234 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 2: I think I've just kind of found a way. 235 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 3: And this is because I've had a lot of really 236 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 3: good players around me, especially when I was younger, that 237 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 3: I kind of learned from to just in order to 238 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 3: take the pressure off yourself, you have to. 239 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: Think about the team. You know. 240 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 3: Some of those really good treatches you mentioned the Cardinals, 241 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 3: I mean that that seventeen game winning treat we had 242 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 3: in seventeen to sneak into the playoffs. 243 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: Seventeen games win seventeen one games in a row. I 244 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 2: think it was in twenty twenty one was that stretch? 245 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 3: Sorry, you know, the entire time, you just like learn 246 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 3: that you play better if you think about the team 247 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 3: and you think about just passing your. 248 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: Baton and passing your batton on the line up means 249 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 2: a lot of things. 250 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 3: You can walk, you can get hit by a pitch, 251 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 3: you can grind out a ten. 252 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 2: Pitch that bad. I don't know. 253 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 3: I mean, we know the Couless examples, but I think 254 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: it really comes back to just just being super prepared 255 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 3: for how can I help my team win as much 256 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 3: as possible, and it takes all the pressure off yourself. 257 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 2: It kind of relieves any you know, individual duty you. 258 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 3: Might have, and you know, the glory kind of doesn't 259 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 3: come from a big home run in a big situation 260 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 3: and simply comes from just doing your job and being 261 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 3: a part of a team win, which once I finally 262 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 3: bought into at a at a younger age. I think, 263 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 3: you know, sliding into these new clubhousets and these big 264 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 3: moments with new teams that I really don't have a 265 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 3: lot of familiarity with, I think I just learned how 266 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 3: to turn myself over to the game situation, and a 267 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 3: lot of times those game situations require you to be 268 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 3: totally selfless and just be a good basic player for 269 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 3: the you know, for the guy to left in tier 270 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 3: right in your clubhouse. So yeah, I think I'll have 271 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 3: a lot of those with the Giants, and I'm looking 272 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 3: forward to it. 273 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 4: You couldn't have had a better transition getting traded over 274 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 4: the Phillies last year. The fan base loved you. I 275 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 4: get it. You didn't get to play in the playoffs 276 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 4: like you wanted to because of injury. Is there was 277 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 4: there a time at the end of the season you 278 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 4: packed your stuff up, you went home, and you said, 279 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 4: most likely I'm gonna be back in Philly because of 280 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 4: all that happened, all the transpire. Couldn't have done more. 281 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 5: You know. 282 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 4: It was like you were in a tryout and you 283 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 4: just killed it. 284 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely no doubt about it. I thought that there 285 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 3: was a really good chance to be back in Philadelphia. 286 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 3: But at the same time, I've been around for long 287 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 3: enough and heard a lot. 288 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 2: Of enough stories. 289 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 3: Some other players have gone through similar situations, or they've 290 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: even been with an organization for six or seven years, 291 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: and you know it didn't work. Out the way they 292 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 3: wanted to, So I certainly also prepared myself for that 293 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 3: in the off chance at the time it wasn't gonna 294 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 3: work out. But again, that's that's what the game is, 295 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 3: that's what life is about. Life is about preparing for 296 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 3: things and having them go a different direction, and it's 297 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 3: about how you can pivot to keep the energy going 298 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 3: in the right direction to still manage to be successful. 299 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 2: And that's why I've. 300 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 3: Always said, you know, I've it's always been my dream 301 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 3: to be a major League baseball player. And you know, 302 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: the uniform is obviously nice, but that's a by product 303 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 3: of the preparation. It's a by product of the work. 304 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 3: That's why I really learned, I think, at a young age, 305 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 3: to always just keep my allegiance to the baseball. 306 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: You know, I keep my allegiance to the work behind 307 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 2: the scenes. 308 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 3: I always take care of the baseball in the field. 309 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: I always treat the game nicely, always talk about the 310 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 3: game nicely. You know, pour your love and your your 311 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 3: soul into the game. And you know, if the allegiance 312 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 3: to the ball, you know, all these trades that might happen, 313 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 3: or you know, being let down by not going to 314 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 3: a team you might have wanted to go to. All 315 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 3: of them are kind of secondary because at the end 316 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 3: of the day, you still get to go out there 317 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 3: and suit up in whatever uniform and go out there 318 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 3: and play, you know, the game that you love, and 319 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 3: you get to entertain fans, and uh, you know, that's 320 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 3: really what it's all about. So as excited as I 321 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 3: was to be in Philly and potentially back, truly I 322 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 3: think I went through a great learning lesson and I 323 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 3: was a great reminder that life always for you know, 324 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 3: constantly reminds us, you know. 325 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 2: These these these lessons. So I'm thrilled. 326 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 3: I'm excited, and I'm certainly with an organization, and I 327 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 3: landed in a place that that definitely wants me from 328 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 3: sendate porad of time, which is something that you know, 329 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,839 Speaker 3: I've had now for the first time in my career. 330 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 3: So again, I'm thrilled, and I really just can't wait 331 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 3: to put those callers on and go out there and 332 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 3: compete with a locker room full of full of superstars. 333 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 2: So I'm excited. 334 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 5: All right, Harrison, you're with the Twins last year. What 335 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 5: what do you make of what's happening in Minnesota? Derek 336 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 5: Falvey brought you in. Now he's gone. The Twins fans 337 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 5: are up in arms because they switched owners from Joe 338 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 5: Polaud to Tom Tim, Tom Poll whatever, Tom Tim polad 339 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 5: forget which one it is, right, But what what was 340 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 5: your experience like in Minnesota? I played in Minnesota forever ago. 341 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 5: It was a great place to come up in, a 342 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 5: great place to play. So what was it like playing 343 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 5: in Minnesota obviously before you got traded to Philadelphia. 344 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, Minnesota was great, It really was. I will tell you. 345 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 3: The playing surface is one of the best I've ever 346 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 3: played in, hands down. The batter's box is fantastic, The 347 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 3: batter's eye is fantastic. The outfield grass, the shape of 348 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 3: the field, the way the sun would play, I mean 349 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 3: all these things, and there was a fantastic playing service. 350 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 3: So I mean I loved every second of truly just 351 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 3: simply playing the game there and then listen outside of that, 352 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 3: I mean, what is there to say. You know, it's 353 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 3: outside of my control. You know, I was brought there 354 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 3: to do one thing, and I was I was playing 355 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 3: left field and play centerfield. When when Buckney today, which 356 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 3: I'm thrilled wasn't often because he hasn't been healthy for 357 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 3: a long time. And I've always said that Bron bocks 358 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 3: and is probably my favorite player in baseball. So being 359 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 3: up close to him, being close to Carlos Creo, you know, 360 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 3: I've known Christian Vasquez for a while, so I got to, 361 00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 3: you know, be with him every day. I mean, there 362 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 3: was a fan tastic experience, you know, outside of ownership 363 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 3: and moves and trading everybody at the deadline. 364 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: You know, I don't have anything to do with that. 365 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 3: I think it just goes to show you that it's 366 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 3: just so important to have your own team behind you 367 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 3: at all times. Whether that's a hitting coach, whether that's 368 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 3: an analytics guy or a biomechanist, whether it's a support 369 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 3: system and you know, loved ones, family members, whatever it is. 370 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 3: You know, you just never know how quickly and drastically 371 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 3: things might change on that field, whether it's your teammates 372 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 3: or you know, the decision makers, ownership groups, you know, 373 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 3: all the noise that might happen as quickly as a 374 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 3: as a drop of a pin. You know, you have 375 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 3: to still have the team behind you to get you 376 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 3: prepared for that game. So again, it was a good 377 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 3: reminder knowing that my team behind me as solid as 378 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 3: they come. You know, I designed it that way because 379 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 3: I've been traded for a number of years now, where 380 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 3: I've been on one year deals for you know, past 381 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 3: three seasons. 382 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 2: So I realized how important it was to have my 383 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 2: people behind me. So listen, I wish everybody. 384 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 3: I wish everybody luck in their in their ventures, if 385 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 3: they stay in baseball or not. Everybody that met in 386 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 3: Minnesota was fantastic. I mean everybody says how nice people 387 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 3: from Minneapolis are. 388 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: That is absolutely true. So yeah, I'm not a blast man. 389 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: I really was. As I say, it was a gift. 390 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 3: So you know, I wish that organization all the best. 391 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 3: I wish the ownership group all the best. It's still 392 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 3: a lot of players there that I played with that 393 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 3: I love and respect, so I just want them to 394 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 3: ball out and be successful. 395 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 2: So yeah, you. 396 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 5: Were just one of like the whole team that got traded. 397 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: So you know, it's okay, eleven guys crazy. 398 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 5: They're all spread out all over the league now, and 399 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 5: now you're in San Francisco. One of your buddies from 400 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 5: from way back is Pete Alonzo. You guys went to 401 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 5: college together, played in college together. You got to play 402 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 5: with them then in New York. What were your thoughts 403 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 5: on him and his free agency? You know, you mentioned 404 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 5: having a team behind you and and all the things 405 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 5: you were just talking about. But Pete Alonzo, you know, 406 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 5: setting records in the Mets for home runs, he went 407 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 5: to free agency, they signed him to the one year deal. 408 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 5: Then he gets another free agent job and they seemed 409 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 5: like there was no interest there. He ends up in Baltimore. 410 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,639 Speaker 5: What was going on with Pete Alonzo? Because he seemed 411 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 5: like the perfect guy to fit in to the Mets forever. 412 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. 413 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 3: I mean his trajectory definitely had his number being hung 414 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 3: up there, There's no doubt about it. But again, I 415 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 3: mean I think, you know, they're just countless examples of 416 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 3: guys that have gone through the process and they don't 417 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 3: you know, they don't get that callback to continue their 418 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 3: careers there. 419 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 2: You know. 420 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 3: So I don't want to speak on his behalf, but 421 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 3: you know, in training with him every single day and 422 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 3: being around him every single day and just knowing him, 423 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 3: you know, again he his focus is just to be 424 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 3: the best base of here he can and I'm sure 425 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 3: he would have loved for it to be with the Mets, 426 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 3: given his career path and given the records, like you mentioned, 427 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 3: what he's done there, and the fans how much they 428 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 3: love him. 429 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm in New York. I know the fans love. 430 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 3: Pete Alonzo, but it didn't shake out that way, and 431 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 3: knowing his personality, he's wanted to just put his head 432 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 3: down and go to work. 433 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: So again, it just kind of comes back to the 434 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 2: feeling of. 435 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 3: It feels really good to be wanted by an organization 436 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 3: that he got a fantastic deal with the Orioles. I 437 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 3: think that's a really strong young team with a fantastic core. 438 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 3: A lot of players on that team that I respect. 439 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: I respect everybody, but some level of talent. Those guys 440 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 3: just sit at a different table. So he's surrounded by superstars. 441 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 3: I know he's excited and he's gonna do damage at 442 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 3: that stadium, There's no doubt, so the way the stadium 443 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 3: is constructed. 444 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,919 Speaker 2: So as much as he may have loved. 445 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 3: To be back with the Mets, you know, the game 446 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 3: had had a different a different route for him, and 447 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 3: I know he's fully embracing it because we've been training, 448 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 3: you know, every single day in preparation for spring training, 449 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 3: so I'm excited to see what he does. He's still 450 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 3: hung on to one of the colors. He still has 451 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 3: orange in his uniform, so that's a win. So I 452 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 3: just I'm excited for him. There's a guy who's you know, 453 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 3: you're potentially gonna hit five hundred plus from on to 454 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 3: the magic level. 455 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 2: I think we know how incredible that is. So I'm 456 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: just looking forward to seeing his journey continue. And you 457 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 2: know I'll see him, I'll see him on the line. 458 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, Harrison, can can you help us settle a 459 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: debate here? So I want to ask you one more 460 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: question about your time with the Mets and with Pete. 461 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: We debate the measurement of how many gimmicks are okay 462 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: for a season the Mets. Carlosman Doz is on the 463 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: show all the time, and he's mentioned, you know, a 464 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: little too corporate. In twenty twenty five, they were whatever. 465 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: I don't know what the exact words. I don't want 466 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: to use, you know, his quotes or misuse him. But 467 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: we debated, like I loved it all right, Iglesias with 468 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: the song and Grimace and Pete had his own things 469 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: run in And you've been around clubhouses like say the 470 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: Yankees that are a little more straight edge for lack 471 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: of a better term. So in your mind, how much 472 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: can that help? 473 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:42,479 Speaker 2: Right? 474 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: And the Mets had many other issues and pitching blah 475 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: blah blah from twenty twenty five. There was a difference 476 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: from twenty four to twenty five, but just you experienced 477 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: twenty four, So can you take us inside what that 478 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,719 Speaker 1: was like and if you felt like that truly helped 479 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: the vibes and if there's a line for how much 480 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: you can do that. 481 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 3: I mean, it's it goes back to that classic thing 482 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 3: of like, you know, as long as it works, it's 483 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 3: not weird or you know, I think whatever whatever it takes, 484 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 3: whether it's gimmicks, whether it's songs, whether it's a playoff pumpkin, 485 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,080 Speaker 3: I think whatever it takes is what's necessary, you know. 486 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 3: And I think it really just goes back to like, 487 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 3: you know, chemistry. Chemistry can certainly build towards winning championships, 488 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 3: you know, And we didn't win a championshipther year, but 489 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 3: we got really close. And team chemistry, locker room chemistry, 490 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 3: clubhouse chemistry is tremendously important, you know. 491 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 2: I think front offices do their best to build. 492 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 3: The the biggest, you know, the like the best, high character, 493 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 3: positive chemistry clubhouse, and I think a lot of times 494 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 3: that will translate into wins. 495 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 2: You know. 496 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,479 Speaker 3: I think energy is everything on that field individually, what 497 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 3: you bring to the stadium every day, how you go 498 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 3: to sleep at night, and how you communicate with your 499 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 3: teammates on the field. 500 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 2: I think energy is everything.
