No, this is liberation Day in DC, and 21 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 3: we're going to take our capital back. 22 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 5: President Trump declaring a public safety emergency in DC, painting 23 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 5: an apocalyptic picture adamant crime is spiraling out of control, 24 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 5: but his depiction stands in stark contrast to the official figures, 25 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 5: which show crime in the Capitol is actually in decline. 26 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 5: Violent crime recently hitting a thirty year low down twenty 27 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 5: six percent since last year.

The murder us 31 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 6: about life and death.

Because you know, one 38 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 7: violent crime happens in a very heavily popular part of 39 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 7: the city. People hear about it, and it's visceral. They 40 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 7: don't want it. 41 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 4: No. 42 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 8: Lena had although had announsday nine to thirty press conference today, 43 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 8: we've been debating what that could be about. She's it 44 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 8: could be that she's going to vote against the law 45 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 8: enforcement rays that would put Harris County law enforcement on 46 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 8: paritee with Houston Police Department. 47 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: That could be it. 48 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 8: She maybe wanting to get ahead of that because she's 49 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 8: going to be criticized rather roundly over that, and she 50 00:03:51,640 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 8: said some pretty nasty things about law enforcement recently. Mind 51 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 8: seeing how law enforcement responds if she needs their services, 52 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 8: considering the very nasty things she has said about law 53 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 8: enforcement over the last few years. And you know, these 54 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 8: are people that are used to dealing with folks with 55 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 8: a psych hold and and you know, the bipolar and 56 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 8: schizophrenic in the middle of an episode and their manic 57 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 8: and they're you know, suicide back up, they know, you 58 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 8: know they're crazy. People are crazy, but they may forget that. 59 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 8: You know, she's also the They may forget that portion 60 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 8: when the county judge is just constantly insulting you. 61 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: So it could be that I polled some folks in 62 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 1: public life. 63 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 8: In the community, including one who's very close to her, 64 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 8: who's said this particular person said that this particular person 65 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 8: would not be surprised, but didn't claimed not having inside information, 66 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 8: but would not be surprised if she was seeking help 67 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 8: for treatment because she's clearly in the midst of a 68 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 8: prolonged episode. She's in a very bad way. And so 69 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 8: Rodney may have said, look, I got a lot of 70 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 8: scams I got to get done between now and the 71 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 8: end of the year and then beginning of the spring, 72 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 8: I need to reset. So I'm gonna need you to 73 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 8: go back to the funny farm for a little while, 74 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 8: and we got to get people to lay off. 75 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,600 Speaker 1: Pointing out how crazy you are. 76 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 8: You've got two of your other commissioners, one of whom 77 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 8: I hand placed there, Leslie Bionez. 78 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: You've got Ramsey. 79 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 8: That's consistently against you, and now Adrian has had joined 80 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 8: their group. 81 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: So we got to reset this thing. 82 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 8: Could be she's going to treatment, it could be she's 83 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 8: opposing the police officer pay. The plan all along was 84 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 8: that Sylvia Garcia was going to step down from her 85 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 8: congressional seat and that Lena was going to run for 86 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 8: that and she would get the Democrat party support in 87 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 8: that primary, which that's as it currently is drawn, is 88 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 8: a Democrat district that could change dramatically. But the plan 89 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 8: was that's an easy job. There's no accountability. Jasmine Crockett's 90 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 8: office said the other day that she never comes to 91 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 8: the office. She doesn't They never see her. She doesn't 92 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 8: show up for work. She just she'll have a you know, 93 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 8: she gets in front of the cameras and people think, oh, 94 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 8: she's so busy, she's everywhere all the time. No, no, 95 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 8: she's just just a few minutes a day. She does 96 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 8: some mass media and that's it. So the idea was 97 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 8: to park Lena in Sylvia's congressional seat. 98 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: And the rumor. 99 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 8: Has it that Adrian Garcia, who was looking at that seat, 100 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 8: was telling folks that Sylvia was stepping down and that 101 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 8: her health was bad. Well, apparently Sylvia caught wind of that. 102 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 8: And Sylvia is mean boy. I've known her a long time. 103 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 8: I had seen her in years, but she was down 104 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 8: at the city when I was or was just leaving, 105 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 8: and she's she's a mean old coot. I mean, Sheila, 106 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 8: She's how best to say this, I think you get 107 00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:58,559 Speaker 8: the point. 108 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: I think you pretty much the idea. That what I'm saying. 109 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: And so apparently she was mad about that. But that 110 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: that that's how they do these things. 111 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 8: They set all these things up and then they and 112 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 8: then they get to chronicle behind and chronicley huh. 113 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: Then they act like, oh, that's that, that's the thing 114 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: we're going to do. 115 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,119 Speaker 8: But now the Democrats don't want her in the seat, 116 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 8: and they don't want her in the in the county 117 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 8: judges seat. 118 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: So this is this is going to get interesting. 119 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 9: Ramon An, you guys have anything else?

I can't remember the distance of the pitching 349 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 8: mound to home plate. I knew just a few years ago. 350 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 8: But these kids are throwing gas at seventy at that distance, 351 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 8: that's like a much faster pitch for an MLB pitcher 352 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 8: from a mound that's much further away. And oh, by 353 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 8: the way, it's not just the feat of doing it, 354 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 8: it's sin you're up there battling in at twelve years old. 355 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 8: So he and this other kid were in an absolute 356 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 8: pitcher's duel through four innings. In the fifth inning, they 357 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 8: get a runner on he's on second, and pass ball 358 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 8: for the for the base on balls. As that happens, 359 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 8: run on second goes to third, and the batter, as 360 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 8: smart teams will do, goes to first and never stops. 361 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: He runs down to first. 362 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 8: Catcher's going to get the ball behind him, and he 363 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 8: turns and just starts heading the second because what you 364 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 8: want to do is force the throw and then you 365 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 8: bring the runner home from third. And the more throws 366 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 8: at this age you force teams to make, the more 367 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 8: likely there's going to be a mistake. So you're creating chaos. 368 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 8: Very smart coaching, but they all know to do this 369 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 8: this one. So the batter drops his bat, he sprints, 370 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 8: the first catcher goes back and gets the ball. Batter 371 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 8: turns first but doesn't go all the way to second. 372 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 8: It makes a hard, long turn, comes around the catcher. 373 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 8: Talk about good fundamentals. He immediately throws the back the 374 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 8: ball back to Grau, who has come off the mound 375 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 8: and come toward him, is approaching the return throw. Gral 376 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 8: takes the catch, takes the ball out in front of 377 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 8: the mound, checks his runner at third, keeps him there, 378 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 8: turns to first, throws quickly and accurately to the first baseman. 379 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 8: First baseman makes the play. 380 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: Of the game. 381 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,360 Speaker 8: He catches the ball, he's off the bag because he's 382 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 8: trying to get closer to the runner. He turns and 383 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 8: rears back, fakes the throw down to second because they're 384 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 8: gonna they're gonna have this runner in a pickle at 385 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 8: this point, and that's what he's trying to cause, so 386 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 8: they can they can steal a run out of this. 387 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,719 Speaker 8: So he pump fakes the pitch the throw to second, 388 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 8: and immediately pivots and throws a rocket on a line to. 389 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: The third baseman. 390 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 8: The kid that was on second had gone to third, 391 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 8: and all this thing is playing out to get him home. Well, 392 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 8: he when he sees the first baseman turn, he sells 393 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 8: the throat to such an extent that he starts toward home, 394 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 8: but the throat didn't happen, so he has to immediately 395 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 8: stop and go back, whereupon he dives face first. His 396 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 8: helmet comes back. You see his face hit the dirt. 397 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 8: Helmet is pushing back. Third baseman makes the tax sweeps 398 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 8: it gets him out. Ump calls him safe. They have 399 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 8: instant replay. He's out. It was It was such a 400 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 8: heads up play for twelve year old kids mentally, as 401 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 8: this is happening, and remember, you've just advanced a runner 402 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 8: from second to third in the process of putting two 403 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 8: runners on in a game that you've been frustrated because 404 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 8: you've not been able to get a hit on the 405 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 8: other pitcher of the whole game. He's striking at the 406 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 8: end of four I think he had ten strikeouts. His 407 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:22,160 Speaker 8: kid's been unhittable, and you're frustrated and you don't want 408 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 8: to lose. And at twelve kids, it can go bad 409 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 8: fast for kids at this age, they can just fall 410 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 8: apart and the moms can't understand what is going on. Well, 411 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 8: the intensity broke and now it's rage and it's like 412 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 8: Lena Headgg goes a head. You're not You're insane in 413 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 8: the membrane. Can't you can't process, you can't think. So 414 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 8: third baseman makes the swipe, they call him safe. 415 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: Oh man, he's clearly out. 416 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 8: I mean not clearly, but when you see the replay 417 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,679 Speaker 8: you can tell that he's out. So he's going to 418 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 8: be out when they when they review it. But the 419 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 8: player on the field has gone against you. You just 420 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 8: had a pass ball, which is always frustrating. You put 421 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 8: your second runner on, you make the he's gone to second. 422 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 8: You make the play at third, and the rev the 423 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 8: cause you out, third base, cause you out. It calls 424 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 8: you safe. And so now you got two runners in 425 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 8: scoring position. The third baseman comes up. Now they're within 426 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 8: a couple of minutes. They do make the overrule and say, yes, 427 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 8: he was out. But at that moment you think he's safe. 428 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 8: Everything has gone wrong for the team. What does the 429 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 8: third baseman do. He looks at the team and very 430 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 8: sternly puts each of his index fingers on his temples. 431 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: All right, guys, keep your head about you. Twelve years old. 432 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: These kids are amazing. 433 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 9: Anything else? No, okay, Michael Barry, can you guys? 434 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:53,719 Speaker 10: I hope everyone has a really awesome rest of today. 435 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 8: One lady emailed, kudos to the coaches, Lamar Lilly, they 436 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 8: have the kids practice those situations. 437 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: Oh, I'm very well aware. 438 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 8: I've coached Lit League baseball and we've coached that scenario 439 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 8: a thousand times. 440 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you, at twelve years old, to 441 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: execute that with a clean slate. You know, Hey, no pressure, 442 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: nobody's looking. Let's here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna 443 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: do a pass ball. I'll do it right now. I'll 444 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: roll the ball of the catcher. 445 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 2: Come up. 446 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 8: I want you. Everybody has to be in their position. Hey, 447 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 8: everybody has to respond. But wait, you're not responding after 448 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 8: something I'm just telling you is gonna happen. And everybody's 449 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 8: mindful of what they're gonna do. You've just put a 450 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 8: runner on base with a walk. That's frustrating. You watch 451 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 8: a lot of these kids. Their body language at twelve, 452 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 8: it's they've not yet learned to control their emotions. 453 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: They're volatile. 454 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 8: So you've had these two bad things happen, a walk 455 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 8: and a passball. Runner on second's gone to third. Lamar 456 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,479 Speaker 8: knows the best they're going to do is get one 457 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 8: run off. This kid, he is dealing this picture for Connecticut. 458 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 8: He is, he is giving it to them, and so 459 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 8: they know runs are going to be hard to come by. 460 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 8: And now this team's about to score a run when 461 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 8: he so the passball catcher comes up, begins running toward 462 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 8: the pitcher. He doesn't throw from back there another smart move. 463 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 8: He gets close, starts moving toward the plate so that 464 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 8: he's in position should the runner on third come in. 465 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 8: The pitcher comes off the mound. He doesn't pout, he 466 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 8: doesn't say oh drafts like it's a Peanuts episode. 467 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: He approaches the catcher so that he's. 468 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 8: Shortening the distance again, great fundamental baseball catches ball, looks 469 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 8: off the runner on third to push him back, who 470 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 8: just coming around from third, and then he throws to 471 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 8: his first baseman. His first baseman is not on the bag. 472 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 8: He's trailing the runner again, so he can shorten the 473 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 8: throw to second. Throws to the first baseman, he makes 474 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 8: the catch. All right, we've already had a series of things, 475 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 8: any one of which goes wrong. Another run is going 476 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 8: to score catcher who's surprisingly seven foot five inches tall. 477 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 8: I don't know, a big boy, big white kid. I mean, 478 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 8: he is big. It's like Toby Schultz, I want school with. 479 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 8: So he throws a little sidearm, very accurate, right in 480 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 8: the chest to the first baseman. 481 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: He catches, he's on the move. 482 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 8: He turns to second, and he makes a very convincing 483 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 8: fake throw, and at that moment, the runner on third 484 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 8: buys it. 485 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: He's sold it. 486 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 8: So the runner on third starts and he gets about 487 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 8: four or five steps toward home and he realizes, uh oh, 488 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 8: just like a quarterback will pivot on his stance, like 489 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 8: you're on the this lad, you're on these skis. I 490 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 8: want you to jump up and turn those keys. He pivots, 491 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 8: turns and guns it and he throws it on a 492 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 8: rope to get him out at third. 493 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: My point is, I know that you practice that. 494 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,959 Speaker 8: Everybody has practiced that. That at twelve years old, is 495 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 8: that's not just a major league baseball play. That is 496 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 8: a really good major league baseball play. Considering also the 497 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 8: mindset and then the third basement. After making the tag 498 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 8: he swipes him. He thinks the runner is safe because 499 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 8: that was the call. He knows he got him. You 500 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 8: could see two inches between the kids, the base runners, 501 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 8: the tip of his middle finger and the bag at third. 502 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 8: When He hits him on the helmet with the glove 503 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 8: to swipe the tag. He knows they just got ripped 504 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 8: off after perfectly executing it, and they're melting down. He 505 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 8: knows that, So what does he do? 506 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: He doesn't. 507 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 8: When a kid gets angry at that age, you can't 508 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 8: you can't get through to them because they go to 509 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 8: a bad place, because they're intense. 510 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: These kids are so intense. So what does that kid do? 511 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 8: He has the presence of mind to know, my team 512 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 8: is falling apart. We've got to keep our heads about us. 513 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 8: He pops up, He calls for time. He puts his 514 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 8: two index fingers on each of his temples and pokes 515 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 8: at his head. Hey, guys, keep your head a bite. 516 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 8: He conveys the message. That's that's the sign. Guys, think, 517 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 8: think calm. It's very easy to think what you would 518 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 8: do in such a situation, and it almost never happens. 519 00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: This kid is twelve. These kids are learning life less realistically. 520 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: What's this kid? Gritchick? Twelve years in? He recorded a 521 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: nice little thing for the boys. I thought that was nice. 522 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 8: These kids are learning something so much more important than hitting, catching, stealing, running, throwing, 523 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 8: You know, realistically, and if you play college, you'll play 524 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 8: four more years. If you play pro, you chase that 525 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 8: dream for some years. But realistically, none of them's ever 526 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 8: going to play baseball past thirty. You might hit some infield, 527 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 8: you might be in a church softball league, but you're 528 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 8: not going to play competitive baseball. So the life skills 529 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 8: are not the baseball fundamentals. The life skills you're learning 530 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 8: is what to do in a moment of intense pressure 531 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 8: where things are falling apart. This is, you know, saving 532 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 8: the rest of the guys on the submarine level stuff. 533 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: This is figuring out the. 534 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 8: Plan to save the most number of life when the 535 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 8: building's on fire and our part of the building is 536 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 8: cut off. 537 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: From I mean, this is this is impressive. 538 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 8: These are life, real life skills that these kids are demonstrated, 539 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 8: not one of them. I've seen kids cry on the 540 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 8: mound at the World Series. Not not at local Lily. 541 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 8: At the World Series. I've seen the picture on the 542 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 8: mound at a moment like this, We're not even the 543 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 8: last inning and tears are coming down. This is not 544 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 8: how it's supposed to work. It's like you've stolen the 545 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,040 Speaker 8: kid's toy that they'll they'll melt down. You'll see their 546 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 8: body language. Not these kids, no, sir, that is a 547 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 8: group of kids that are well coached by what's his name, Ramon. 548 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 8: What's the fellow's name? Justin Pollard, isn't what's his ease? 549 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 8: Obviously he's got a kid on the team, Justin Carlisle. 550 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 8: Justin Pollard Pollard I think is the head coach or 551 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 8: manager they call it. And Eric Graw, that's Grau's dad. 552 00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 8: Eric Graw looks like he just got through hunting five 553 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 8: minutes ago. He just he rushed in here on time. 554 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 8: He still got his boots on, he got mud on him. 555 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 8: He's his dip has rolled down his side. Would you 556 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 8: see a white boy that's carrying about twenty five extra pounds. 557 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 8: He's got a little half mullet in the back, and 558 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 8: he's got a little dip on him like that, and 559 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 8: he's got a beard that he just like once a 560 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 8: month shaved, just what you know, maybe on the first 561 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 8: of month he's shaves. And that dude like that is 562 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 8: a baseball dad. That's a base former baseball player. That 563 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 8: is a baseball dad. Anyway that bespeaks volumes of their 564 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 8: coach because they have only been this is All Star team. 565 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 8: They've only had them a couple of months. They didn't 566 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 8: coach all these kids during the year. They were all 567 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 8: on different teams. It says the world about the coaches, 568 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 8: says the world about their parents, their fathers, who's probably 569 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 8: coaching them in the back league, and their mothers. These 570 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 8: are kids who are cool under pressure. We need to 571 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 8: send Lena Hidalgo to them. Of course we need put 572 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 8: on lithium too, but that's a whole different show. These 573 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 8: kids are twelve years old demonstrating what you do under 574 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 8: stress and pressure of the national stage, and it all 575 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 8: could be falling apart, and Lena can't handle it. 576 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,520 Speaker 1: If she doesn't get you a few. 577 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:16,319 Speaker 8: More million dollars to hand out to whoever's may cut 578 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 8: her the best deal under the table. There's your juxtaposition 579 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,839 Speaker 8: of the sacred and profane right there.
