1
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,479
Speaker 1: Salth Freelick is here, sal How was the off season

2
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: for you?

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: Good off season? Super cold, A lot of snow. But

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: why a ton of snow in Boston?

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 3: But why do you live there?

6
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: I was, That's where I was born, So that's that's

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: like always home for me. I love it too much

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: to go somewhere warm in the off season. And but

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 2: look at this, Yeah, that's why you come here for spring.

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: And it's great when I get to I would say,

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: I come here and it's like the first time I

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: take batting practice on the field or catch a flat

13
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: ball outside is in spring. So I feel like I

14
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: have like a nicer appreciation for Arizona. But that's good.

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Do you like seasons? You know some people are like, no,

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: I just want eighty everything.

17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 4: Yeah. I like seasons.

18
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like like I love I love fall. I love

19
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: winter during the holidays. I will say, like after the

20
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: New Year, when it's still really cold and we're not

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: getting any snow, I'm like, alright, I gotta I gotta

22
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: get to easy. But I love the snow and the

23
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: cold for Thanksgiving and Christmas for sure.

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: I was in New York and they had that and

25
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: they're about that. You guys are about to get hit

26
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: with another another nor easter. Yeah right, So I was

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: in New York. We were in New York for the

28
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 3: Baseball Awards, and uh, I had to get out of

29
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: town otherwise would have been stuck there for like a

30
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: month because of the snow. I just don't know why

31
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: you guys enjoyed What what's the upside to the snow?

32
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 3: And you can't go outside because if you do, you

33
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,919
Speaker 3: might go outside your skin is exposed.

34
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 4: You.

35
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: I mean, even when we were in college and growing up,

36
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: like as soon as it snowed, it was all right,

37
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: this is great because there were no cars on the street,

38
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: so the plows were out. They'd plow a little bit

39
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: and you'd go out. You'd throw your snowsuit on, you'd

40
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: bring sleds, whatever, and you just go out. Everybody would

41
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: be outside, and yeah, that's just we did that growing up.

42
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: We did that in college. And I just love the snow.

43
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, So make sure AJ knows that he's soft, because,

44
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 5: like I mean, I'm a northern guy. We just the

45
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 5: Northeastern just passed through here. I'm in Pa, so I'm

46
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 5: not quite where you're at in Boston. But do you

47
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 5: think you would have been a better player with your skills.

48
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 5: People always ask the Northeast guys they take longer to develop,

49
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 5: and like, your career has kind of gone that direction.

50
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 5: If you'd have been one of those people from the

51
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 5: armpit of America like Florida or Texas, do you think

52
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 5: you would have been a better player, like maybe higher

53
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 5: draft pick or like made the acclamations of a big

54
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 5: league sooner?

55
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 3: For sure?

56
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean I think I'm still learning. Like I

57
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: look at my swing sometimes and I'm like, oh, that's

58
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: what I look like.

59
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 4: Are you kidding me?

60
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: Like, I feel like I still have a lot of

61
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: room for that improvement. But at the same time, I

62
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: think there's areas of the game that I might feel

63
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: like I'm more developed out or have an edge on

64
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: because I'm from you know, the Northeast, and I love

65
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: carrying that chip on my shoulder. I'm super proud to

66
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: be from from New England, and it's one of the

67
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: first things I usually tell people is, Hey, I'm from Boston,

68
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 2: you know, even if they don't ask where I'm from, Like,

69
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 2: I'm super proud of it. So yeah, you know, you

70
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: can just carry a lot a lot of pride all right.

71
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: Did you see murphs joke when we were in New

72
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: York at the BBWAA Awards where he got his second

73
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: Manager of the Year award.

74
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a walking he's You didn't hear what

75
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: he said though, No I did.

76
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 3: And he said that they have to have you guys,

77
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 3: that they have to lower the soap dispensers in American

78
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 3: family field because you only have short kings on your team.

79
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 2: It's true, it's true.

80
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 3: But do you have a different because we just had

81
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: Miz Right and Kyle Rison, and they're tall, they are, right,

82
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 3: but every position players five nine or five eight and under.

83
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, the pictures are I feel like, more, you know,

84
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: normal vertically, but the position players is pretty much like

85
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: there's a guy over six foot, he's kind of like

86
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 2: getting looked at, like, what's this guy doing here?

87
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 3: Is that why you and Adam Amin when every time

88
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: Adam Aman does a game, because he's also like five seven,

89
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 3: is that why you always go.

90
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: Off everything five eight? I feel like we're the same

91
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: about Adam. Yeah, I'm talking about yeah no, but yeah,

92
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: you got to stick together. The short guy's got to

93
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: stick together. I love playing for this team. I think

94
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: you know, Murph does a good job getting all the

95
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: short guys together and in one in one clubhouse, especially uh,

96
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 2: you know, the offensive players.

97
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: So it's fun you Does he have to do different

98
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: Do you guys have to do different stretches and stuff?

99
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: I mean we do different stretches in general from the

100
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 2: positional difference, but I think we might have to stretch

101
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: less than they do just because they have more length

102
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: to them. It's kind of we stroll it out.

103
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't even think about that.

104
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 5: And you guys are closer to the ground, so your

105
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 5: low ball hitters all the jokes that Murph probably has.

106
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 5: Do you have do you have one joke that you

107
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 5: were like, Man, I totally got Murph, and can you

108
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 5: tell us?

109
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I have infinite I've told this one. I've

110
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: told this one a few times. I wasn't telling it

111
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: at first because I was like, I don't want people

112
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: to hear this, but Murph as this joke like, I'm

113
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: a big crossword guy, right come in to the clubhouse,

114
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: I'll do a crossword, have a coffee, whatnot. And Murpha

115
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 2: will always come in and be like, it's really good

116
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: you're doing crosswords, because you know you're not good enough

117
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 2: to play in this league, you'll be out of it

118
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: in the next year or two. So it's good that

119
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: you keep your brain sharp for when you're applying to

120
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: grad school. And I think he just chose a random

121
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: school because he's from New York obviously knows some of

122
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: the schools up in the Northeast. And he goes, you know,

123
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: you should start applying to schools, maybe Brandis, which is

124
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: a it's a small school out out in Massachusetts. And

125
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, what that's That's so stupid.

126
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 4: Come to it.

127
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: Like two weeks later, I'm I'm just at my locker

128
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: and you get mail whatever, and I get this envelope

129
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: that says Brandeis University and I'm like, it's just super weird.

130
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: I didn't even really open.

131
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: I think I brought it home and my girlfriend ended

132
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 2: up opening and she's like, hey, you might want to

133
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: look at this and I and I read it. It

134
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: was from the president of Brandeis Business.

135
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 4: School, and I looked up who it was.

136
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: It was the actual guy, and it's a full letter,

137
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: probably like six or seven paragraphs of how brand Ice

138
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: had seen some interviews with Murph and how he said

139
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: that I was interested in Brandeis, and I wasn't going

140
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 2: to be in the game long and I'm like, I couldn't.

141
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: It was written way too well for it to be Murph.

142
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: Like there was super big words in it, and I

143
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 2: knew Murph didn't write them. But at the same time,

144
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: I'm like this, he has to be a part of this.

145
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 2: So I went into his office next day. I threw

146
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: it on his desk. I was like, I know this

147
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: was you. And he played off for a little bit,

148
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 2: but I eventually found out he reached out to the

149
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: guy and had him write a letter from Brandeis. And

150
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my gosh, are.

151
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: They gonna give you like a free doctorate? Like can

152
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: I get like a free doctorate or something, you know,

153
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: an honorary doctorate?

154
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brandise, Yeah, So I guess I'm if you know

155
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: it does come to that, which Murphy continues to reminds

156
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 2: me that it is going to I guess I have

157
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: some connections to Brandeis.

158
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: Now that's good.

159
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 5: That's good, And you can be like a j You

160
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 5: can never have gone to school and just give a

161
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 5: lot of money and claim that at the school. But

162
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 5: we're we're talking about the height, we're talking about the height.

163
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 5: You guys did your abs height check and everything. Did

164
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 5: you come in.

165
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: No, we haven't done it yet right after this. We

166
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: we haven't at ten to ten. So I'm gonna be

167
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: doing it right after that. Yeah, I'm gonna have my

168
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: feet super wide, really bad posture. I think I'm gonna

169
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: try to sync down a little bit.

170
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 4: No, I don't know.

171
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna just stand the regular I'm gonna swing at

172
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: the pitches that are balls anyway, So it's for guys

173
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: who take balls. I'm not in that category.

174
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's look at some matchups coming up for

175
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: tomorrow thanks to Sea Geek. So we're gonna pull up

176
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: some pitching probables like I mentioned. Hey, here's what I

177
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: want to focus on. We just started talking about them.

178
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: So the Mets play the Astros on Thursday. We're gonna

179
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: get to see Nolan McLean and tatuya am I. So

180
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: right away, I'm circling that one as my favorite, and

181
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: you can get the get the tickets for that one

182
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: over at the Sea Geek app because I'm sure it's

183
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: going to be a hotter ticket for this one. But

184
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: aj we get to see Ami, who I think I

185
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: a lot to prove. You also might pop up in

186
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: the WBC, but I think he has a lot to

187
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: proof because there were some teams that clearly doubted him.

188
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: And then Nolan McLain has sky high expectations coming into

189
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: this year and he's also prepping for the World Baseball Classic.

190
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love this matchup? Are you kidding me? For

191
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: a spring training storry. You get to see two guys

192
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: that are expected to be big parts of their team's rotation.

193
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: Now they might only throw an inning or two, but

194
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: this is still fun. These are the matchups you look for.

195
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: This is the matchups I always look for if you

196
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: want to go to a spring training game. Yes, you

197
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: want to see your team, but if you can find

198
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: a good pitching matchup. And the best part is Scott

199
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: you can buy those tickets on SIKI that you can

200
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: go down the line like say you want inn a

201
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: my autograph. After they're done pitching, they usually walk by

202
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: or they go out and do some work extra workout

203
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: in the field. You can stand there, you can have

204
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: your ball and you can say, you know, Nolan McLain,

205
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: can you please sell my ball? Am I? Can you

206
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 3: please sell my ball? So it's a great opportunity to

Speaker 5: can you can stick your butt out because you're not

00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 5: but if you do this.

228
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 3: I was.

229
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 5: I was part of the very first measuring when they

230
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 5: tried to, Yeah, tried to figure it out back in

231
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 5: like I mean, I think it was nineteen or twenty

232
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 5: in spring training when they were like trying it out

233
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 5: for the first time and they said, if you like slouch,

234
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 5: you can't. But like, have guys talked about, Okay, I'm

235
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 5: gonna be a slow I'm on a slouch, I don't

236
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 5: care what my height is.

237
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've I mean we've again.

238
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: We I had it in the miners in Tripa that

239
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 2: one year and they measured us and I remember guys

240
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: trying to slouch and they were pretty strict with like

241
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: making sure guys weren't slouching and stuff. But at the

242
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: same time, I think we're under the impression right now

243
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: that wherever you get measured at doesn't come into play.

244
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: If you then crouch in your batting stance, if you're

245
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: a guy who like gets really low in his batting stands,

246
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: they still take the frame from when you were just

247
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: standing upright. So guys are right, So and again this

248
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: is just what I'm hearing. We're talking about it. So

249
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: guys are like, if guys are like really crouched down

250
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 2: on their batting stands, they're like, I don't want to

251
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: get measured standing straight up because my zone is gonna

252
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: be higher. So, yeah, guys are talking about it. We'll

253
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: see how it goes. Again, I'm kind of on the

254
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: side of I don't think it's gonna impact the game.

255
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 3: You know this, because if Rose and You're all, you know,

256
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: squatted over and then he'd have to swing in pitches

257
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 3: like over his head, right, it doesn't seem like so

258
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: we'll see. I'm playing straight up, so you know, then

259
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: I would have maybe had a hard time with the

260
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 3: low ones. And by the way, Aaron Judge lost like

261
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 3: two inches on his abs, so maybe he's allowed to.

262
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: Right, So we'll see. I'm I'm it's been fine so

263
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: far in the games with the guys challenging. I feel

264
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 2: like the zone has been pretty pretty fine.

265
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 5: But yeah, so you don't think it's that big of

266
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 5: a deal that like, oh, you know, we got to

267
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 5: have more open dialogue about this, or just not that

268
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 5: big of a deal for you.

269
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: No, I think the open dialogue is fine. I think

270
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: you know, it's good for baseball. It's kind of exciting

271
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 2: when you see the ball come in on the on

272
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: the jumbo tron, you know, similar like tennis challenge and whatnot.

273
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 2: But I think it eventually is going to iron itself

274
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: out and it's gonna be pretty normal.

275
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 6: Again.

276
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 2: You have two challenges. I don't think teams are super

277
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: eager to use those challenges in non leverage situations, so

278
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna come out as much. I

279
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: think they were saying even in the minors it was

280
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: either three or four challenges per game, which I don't

281
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: think is a ton for the amount of times that

282
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: a hitter a pitcher might think they, you know, get screwed.

283
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: So I really think it's not gonna be this crazy

284
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: difference where you see guys challenging every single at bat.

285
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 2: It's gonna be cool when it happens, you know, the

286
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 2: two or three times a game in these high leverage counts,

287
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: and other than that, I don't think it's gonna be

288
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: this like crazy change to the game.

289
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 3: Does Murph allow anyone but himself to challenge?

290
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 7: Like?

291
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 3: Does he have a signal from the like does he

292
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 3: yell liked tell someone to challenge so that he lets

293
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: him know or is he just gonna let you guys

294
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: free flow it?

295
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: Well, I think one you has to be you have

296
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: to challenge so quick.

297
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 3: I know, but Murph still could be like he could.

298
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 4: I already know.

299
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: I'm one of those guys that can't challenge, and if

300
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: I do, it has to be correct. I think most

301
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: of those guys know that. I think there's a few guys.

302
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: Is you're wrong? What does he do? I don't know,

303
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 3: or we were even.

304
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: Talking about that. We were like, should we get like

305
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: a you know, kangaroo court type thing going where if

306
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: you get it wrong, I mean you're put you're getting

307
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: fined by the team into this pool at least, like

308
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: you know, if you challenge, like you know, a three

309
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: to zero pitch or whatnot. Like we were like, maybe

310
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: we should have some standards held here, but I'm sure

311
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: murphill came up with some stuff.

312
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: Well also, I mean early in games, it's gonna have

313
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: to be egregious or where like you said, you look

314
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: and you're like this is way off. I'm pad a

315
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: bad pitch here, let's do it. So my thing is

316
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: you're going to see this at some point because everybody

317
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: has a bad day, and you know, we'll go over

318
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: on show. We'll credit the guys when they have like

319
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: a perfect performance based on the grading but also every

320
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 1: once in a while you have an ump and misses

321
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: like fifteen eighteen calls in a game. There's gonna be

322
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: a game this year where a team's gonna get on

323
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: a challenge sheeter early and they're gonna be like, I

324
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: just think his zone is off, and it's going to

325
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: be like boom, got it because you keep it if

326
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: you get it right, that's the key. Right, So if

327
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: you get one and you're like, I just think he's

328
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: off today, you're going to see one where there's like,

329
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, twelve fourteen challenges in a game.

330
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 2: One hundred percent, I mean, and you would hope that too,

331
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: and even talking with some of the umpires and they

332
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: seem pretty excited about it too, because it might help them,

333
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: you know, adjust their zone quicker where early in the game,

334
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: you know they're giving that ball off. If guys are

335
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: challenging that and they're continuously getting proven like okay, that's

336
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: a ball, they might tighten it up quicker. And you know,

337
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: at first was asking some of the guys this so

338
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: farther spring, like hey, is this annoying to you? Because

339
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 2: you know sometimes that's we know, like all right, he's

340
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: given that pitch. We're gonna go attack it like we

341
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: don't mind, they don't mind, and they're like, no, this

342
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 2: is they think so far from I'm hearing, have been

343
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: very positive about it and been saying like, that's great.

344
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: We'd love that quick feedback and kind of change it,

345
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: change it quicker.

346
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 3: So, so are you a Patriots fan?

347
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 2: So I'm actually a Steelers fan? Okay, but even worse,

348
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: but not not too bandwagon, but I do. I do

349
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: claim the Patriots as as my second team when the

350
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: Steelers are not in the playoffs.

351
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: Okay, well, my second team is the Seahawks. So I

352
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 3: was going to give you a little shit about that

353
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 3: ass open that the Patriots took in the Super Bowl,

354
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: But you know, the Steelers will. They finished nine and

355
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: seven and they lose in the first round. They have

356
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: a new coach, so it's fine. What was harder for

357
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 3: you then? Was it watching the Super Bowl and the

358
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 3: domination of the Seahawks defense or the way the NLCS

359
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: ended for you guys last year?

360
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 2: I mean I would have to say that, I'll see, okay,

361
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 2: I I don't know if anything is worse than that.

362
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: You know, it was obviously a great stepping stone. I

363
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: think for us last two years before this past when

364
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: we lost in the wild cards. So one to to

365
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: play good enough during the regular season to skip the

366
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: wild card, then to beat the Cubs.

367
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 3: It's always a good day when you beat the Cubs.

368
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 3: What happens and.

369
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: Kind of in a little dramatic fashion too. Obviously we

370
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: went up two games and then went to Chicago, lost

371
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: to They forced a game five, brought it back to

372
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: Milwaukee in one, which was awesome. Awesome to win a series.

373
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: And then yeah, I mean, first of first off, you know,

374
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: tip tip in the cap to the Dodgers. There haven't

375
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: seen a starting pitcher performance like that in a while.

376
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: And you know, I'd like to say that they can

377
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: throw any starter out there and pitch as good as

378
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: they want. Our lap, we'll give them a battle. And

379
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 2: you know, we really did want into sort of a

380
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: buz saw there and those guys, you know, through the

381
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: crap of the ball. But yeah, a little disappointing end there,

382
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: for sure.

383
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 5: You said the last two years were stepping stones. How

384
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 5: tough is it to see Isaac Collins get traded, Caleb

385
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 5: Durban get traded, Freddie p get traded, and then say, well, yeah,

386
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 5: we're on a stepping stone, and then you're looking for

387
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 5: the next stone and you're like, crap, it looks farther

388
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 5: away than it did last year.

389
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again I think to that point, like, we

390
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: know we're not going to go out and sign these

391
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 2: big guys every offseason, right, we know we're not gonna

392
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: enter that free agency pool and start offering these guys money.

393
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: But we also really take pride in drafting guys are

394
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: homegrown guys. You know, you look at Freddie, a guy

395
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 2: who came up their organization, you know, didn't miss a

396
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: start for us, I think for the past five six years.

397
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: And then you go and get guys like Caleb Durban,

398
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: get guys like Isaac Collins who just fit our mold

399
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 2: super well, and that kind of that Murph Baseball sq

400
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: type play. And you know, you grow close to these guys, right,

401
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: and I understand business guys are going to get traded.

402
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 2: And you know, I think this was my first real

403
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 2: time though where the guys that did I had really

404
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: close relationships with, so you know, wish nothing but the

405
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: best for them. But but again I see the get

406
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: the business side of it and understand that, you know,

407
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 2: guys get traded and that's that's part of it.

408
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 3: So uh, no extension talks. We can just give me

409
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 3: a yes or no.

410
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: No.

411
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 3: Okay, let's go. Let's go mad Art. Well, we're gonna

412
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 3: talk to Matt soon, so we'll make sure we bring

413
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: that up to them. Uh WBC starts soon. You run

414
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: Team Italy last time? No Team Italy for you this year?

415
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: Is it because you were too short? Because they have

416
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 3: like Vinnie Jack Kaglion, they have some monsters now. So

417
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 3: were they like, hey, listen, we need to go with

418
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 3: the full grown lineup here.

419
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 5: Yeah?

420
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 2: I think I was just I was getting phased out.

421
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: They there are too many monsters to your point, point

422
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: out and no again, I was playing up until the

423
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: end of the season. I committed to them. I love

424
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: doing it. When I did it three years ago, unbelievable

425
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: run with those guys when we were started in Taiwan and

426
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 2: finished in Japan, like it was such a cool experience

427
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: and was excited to do it again. They did kind

428
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,479
Speaker 2: of switch things up a little bit. I was there

429
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 2: when Piazza was the man.

430
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 3: I talked to Piazza and he said, you were the

431
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: reason why I didn't come back.

432
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: That's that's crazy. Again, that honored but Uta too, who's

433
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: now with the nationalar assistant coach. He's a Boston College

434
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: guy as well. That's where he went, and so I'd

435
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 2: known Blake for a long time. But again, even though

436
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: those guys weren't doing it, I know, I talked to

437
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 2: Vinnie and Caglian and I was like, yeah, I'm all in,

438
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 2: and just had the end of the year meeting with

439
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: the team and got the MRI's back and had the

440
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: end of the year of meetings with the doctor and

441
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: they were kind of just like, hey, I think we

442
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: need a full off season, in a full spring training

443
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: kind of under our control.

444
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 3: And so yeah, that's interesting. Wow, it's a shame because

445
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: I love the WBC and I want every team to

446
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 3: have all their players and be as good as they can.

447
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,239
Speaker 3: So to Shane that Italy, we'll be rooting for him

448
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 3: though either way. Oh yeah, you're going to be rooting

449
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 3: hard for him for sure. But then okay, so then all,

450
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 3: did you watch the hockey game yesterday? Oh yeah, So

451
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 3: were you rooting for USA? Oh yeah, obviously, so you

452
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 3: can root for USA and hockey, but not in baseball.

453
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 2: Oh I'll be rooting for usay in baseball for sure.

454
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: When Italy plays USA and in Houston in the first round.

455
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, if I was playing for Italy,

456
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 2: I would want to beat USA. But I listen, I

457
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: love this country. I don't think anything Trump's the United States.

458
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: So you know, I'll be rooting for a good game.

459
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 2: You know, whoever wins, it'll be a good one. But

460
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: outside of those two teams playing playing against each other,

461
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 2: I'll be rooting for US.

462
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 3: If you had to take a ball to the face

463
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 3: to win the gold medal, would you do it?

464
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 2: I take I take four balls to the face.

465
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:52,040

474
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: run it was, and then that even included the postseason performance.

475
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: Did you do some reflecting in the off season.

476
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's yeah, it's wild.

477
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,719
Speaker 7: I mean I never thought, you know, our first year

478
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 7: in the league, I'd be in that talk of an

479
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 7: all star like with it, and it's just I don't know,

480
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 7: it's insane.

481
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: Have you woken up from the dream yet?

482
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 6: No, No, we're closed. I think I'm still just like

483
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 6: floating along.

484
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 7: We're kind of you know, maybe maybe like second weekend,

485
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 7: we'll finally like wake up and it'll feel real.

486
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 3: Are you a veteran now on this team?

487
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 6: Oh? No?

488
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 3: When you walk in, does Murph treat you differently?

489
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 6: No, he still treats me the same because he still

490
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 6: gives me shit about everything.

491
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, but if Murph didn't give you shit, then

492
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 3: he wouldn't know he liked you.

493
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. That's his love language though. You know.

494
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Murph walks by you and doesn't speak and you

495
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 3: know you're in trouble.

496
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 6: Yes, is very true.

497
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 3: What's his nickname for you?

498
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 7: Forst come? That's a good one. He's also like Daddy

499
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 7: long legs. He's been calling me that for a while.

500
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 6: You know.

501
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 7: It's just anything to do with like long legged, you know, creatures.

502
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 7: He just calls me that.

503
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 5: All right, So your manager kind of chirp you. I

504
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 5: feel like when I watched some of your games, it

505
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 5: felt like, you know, I could hear the other team

506
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 5: chirping you. Did you ever hear any good chirps from

507
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 5: the other team since your manager is already the one

508
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 5: that's like giving it to you. But it seemed like

509
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 5: when you would have a big strikeout, it was like

510
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 5: you almost like turn to look at them like, yeah,

511
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 5: I got this, Like they were on you up until

512
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 5: that point.

513
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 7: No, I never I never heard anything coming from the

514
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 7: other side. So, I mean, all I was hearing was

515
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 7: my team just giving me ship for dumb, dumb things.

516
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 6: I was doing well.

517
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, oh, there were a few.

518
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 6: There were a few.

519
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: Yelly was yelly, Yelly get in your ear.

520
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, Yelly would give in my ear a few times.

521
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 7: And then big Wu was big he uh yeah, let

522
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 7: me hear it a few times, you know, the veterans

523
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 7: letting me let me know.

524
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 1: Yeah. And those are some good names too. So I

525
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: want to dial in on the postseason again for a moment.

526
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: What was it like at that point trying to figure

527
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: out what your role would be, How much communication was

528
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: there about it, How did you evaluate your performance because

529
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: the other thing going on I remember from the second

530
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: half was they were trying to make sure that you're

531
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: going to be good to go in the postseason from

532
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: an innings perspective, you know, regardless of how you felt.

533
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: I think it was close to one hundred inns the

534
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: year before, so teams are going to monitor that, and

535
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: then we're we're all wondering, like how much of a

536
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: factors is going to be And you know, you made

537
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: some pretty big pitches in the postseason for Milwaukee.

538
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean they were pretty vocal with everything, let

539
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 7: me know, and uh, you know, I was happy with

540
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 7: whatever they were to give me. I was just gonna

541
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 7: be happy to go out there and pitch in a

542
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 7: postseason game. So you know, if that was a one

543
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 7: in appearance or you know, like they did giving me

544
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 7: a ball a few times, I'm just gonna run with

545
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 7: whatever they hand me.

546
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 3: Were you excited about owning the Dodgers in your career?

547
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 3: It's done well against the Dodgers.

548
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, yeah, that's always a positive. It's

549
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 7: always a positive to play well against the team like

550
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 7: of that caliber.

551
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 6: So it's it's really cool.

552
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 3: To I mean, five innings in the postseason one run.

553
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 3: That was nice.

554
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was really nice.

555
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 3: And you're what was your second stars again, was it

556
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 3: against Kershaw. Yeah it was, and you outdueled them. Yeah yeah,

557
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 3: you can bit retired now yeah, patch yourself on the

558
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 3: back a little bit now.

559
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 6: Yeah.

560
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

561
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 6: No, it's really cool.

562
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 7: I mean I grew up watching Kershaw forever and ever,

563
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 7: so it's a it's really cool to, you know, have

564
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 7: that experience against him.

565
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 5: When when you have those innings limits and you're in

566
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 5: a game that okay, they talked to you about X

567
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 5: amount of innings and you're approaching that is it hard

568
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 5: to be like looking over and you come to the

569
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 5: dugout because I always here pitchers say when they come

570
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 5: to the dugout and they looked down the manager to

571
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 5: see if they're coming out, it's like it might as

572
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 5: well take me out because it's hard to lock back in.

573
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, I understand what you're saying, but like, no,

574
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 7: I mean like I was in those postseason games, I

575
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 7: was so locked in and just like I didn't want

576
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 7: to give up the ball, So I never really was

577
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 7: looking down there. Murph always had to come up and

578
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 7: like be like you're done, like go go to the

579
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 7: locker room, go get changed.

580
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 6: Like go do your work afterwards. But no, it was good.

581
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 3: Did they give you a role for this year. You started,

582
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 3: you relieved, you long died, You kind of did everything

583
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 3: for him. We were like a utility weapon.

584
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 6: Yeah.

585
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 7: I mean I haven't heard anything set in stone of

586
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 7: what I'm gonna be this year, but you know, you

587
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 7: always hope that you're gonna be in that starting role.

588
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 7: I mean that's what every picture dreams of doing. So

589
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 7: you know that's the that's the hope.

590
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: Hey, man's more for me, specifically the workload. So how

591
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 1: do you manage that communication with the team and then

592
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: how did you prepare yourself or that in the off season.

593
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: You know, I always want to know with the pitcher,

594
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: who's I mean, you are still a pop You're early

595
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: on in your big league career, you know, do you

596
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: guys talk about a certain number that's a goal for

597
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: the season in terms of how many innings, whether you

598
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: share it or not. Just hey, this is what I

599
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: want you to be prepared for. If you're full go,

600
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: you're feeling good, you're starting, this is what we see

601
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: for you. So let's also make sure that we get

602
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: you from here to October and then in October you

603
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: feel like you're at your best.

604
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I don't think there was a I

605
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 7: think there was a number they gave, but it was

606
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 7: like a rough estimate of where they want me. It's

607
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 7: not really a set and stone thing. So you know

608
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 7: if I go under that, and I mean, that's always

609
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 7: a positive if you can get there. But no, there,

610
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 7: I don't remember exactly what number, but yeah, it was

611
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 7: somewhere like plus of what I did last year, So

612
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 7: it'll it'll be good of whatever they whatever they come

613
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 7: up with. And uh, you know with the off season

614
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 7: stuff like just more like conditioning, doing all that stuff,

615
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 7: and you know, ramping up a little bit later, trying

616
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 7: to save bullets for you know, the start of the

617
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 7: year and you know, coming into camp being ready but

618
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 7: not too ready saving bullets.

619
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 5: When anybody watches you pitch, they don't want to see

620
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 5: you save bullets. So what does that mean? What does

621
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 5: that mean for you? Because obviously, you know, you don't

622
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 5: get any likes, you don't get any Instagram followers because

623
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 5: you throw a pitch ninety seven miles an hour, But

624
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 5: when you're throwing sliders at ninety seven ninety eight, like,

625
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 5: is there a give and take in that? Like when

626
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 5: you talk about saving bullets, I watch so many guys

627
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 5: it's one hundred percent from pitch one to pitch. However

628
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 5: many they leave them out there. So what's that approach

629
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 5: for you?

630
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 7: I mean, I think it's the same way. I think

631
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 7: it's just you know, I think it's more limiting innings

632
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 7: instead of each pitch. I think when I go out

633
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 7: in the field, I'm not saving bullets. I'm letting it

634
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 7: all the and then I'm giving you the one hundred

635
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 7: percent that I got. And I think I need the

636
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 7: you know, the coaches and other people around me to

637
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 7: slow me down and be like, hey, look, let's get

638
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 7: you out of this game. Let's save you for you know, tomorrow,

639
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 7: next week, whatever it could be.

640
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 3: What does the off season look like for you? What

641
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 3: did you do this off season anything different than you

642
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: have done in the past.

643
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,360
Speaker 7: No, I mean it was pretty much the same as

644
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 7: what I've done in the past.

645
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 3: And which is what does the miz do for fun?

646
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 3: You come across as a video game guy?

647
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 7: No, really, I haven't played video games since college, so

648
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 7: mostly hunting, fishing, doing all that sort of stuff. But

649
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 7: you know, going into the facility, working out, playing catch,

650
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 7: doing normal normal baseball activities, you know, getting ready for

651
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 7: the season, but no outside of there, like we're going,

652
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,959
Speaker 7: you know, maybe to card shop, maybe maybe to go

653
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 7: hunt and fish with some friends.

654
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 6: Good stories, nothing we could share live on.

655
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, what about what about card shopping?

656
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I mean, uh, with card shopping, it's

657
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 7: it's fun. It's it's always fun to run into fans

658
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 7: and people that are into the hobby with me, and uh,

659
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 7: you know, it's really cool to run into a little

660
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 7: kid that just is amazed that you know, they ran

661
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 7: into a big league player.

662
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 6: It's really cool.

663
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 3: Do you have a card? We asked Bobby with this

664
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 3: the other day, is there a card of yours that

665
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,720

00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I think there's two that I really want.

673
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 7: of one, and then the debut patch would also be

674
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:48,440

00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:55,800

00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 6: I don't know what something would be.

706
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 7: We should, we should, we should live stream it.

707
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 3: But no, it's because then you think about this. If

708
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 3: you do it live right, and you pull out a

709
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: card and you're like, show hey, I would want to

710
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:34,200

712
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 5: Let's go to your first love. Some people from our

713
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 5: Crack research team said your first love was catching. Now

714
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,959
Speaker 5: you have a big league catcher right next to you,

715
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 5: and you have a minor league catcher talking to you.

716
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,959
Speaker 5: What what would it be like for you to say,

717
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 5: you know what, I caught a game in the big leagues,

718
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 5: or I caught this guy bullpen just to like scratch

719
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 5: that itch.

720
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 7: I think that itch is long gone. I think I

721
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 7: think that left me in high school so you could

722
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 7: catch it. Yeah, It's exactly what I'm thinking. So I'm good.

723
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 7: You know, the flat grounds that guys throw me on

724
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 7: the field is plenty enough for me. I'm good with

725
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 7: sticking on the mound.

726
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 3: Do you squat for the flat grounds? Oh yeah, yeah,

727
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 3: to you do the one knee and put the glove down,

728
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 3: try to frame it.

729
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 7: No, no, no, we're just putting the glove up. Hit

730
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 7: me in the glove. Like, what if you ever miss one? Oh,

731
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 7: you just jump out of the way. You just get

732
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,959
Speaker 7: out of there. I'm not blocking that up.

733
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 3: But what if I don't know who would be if

734
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: someone's like throwing splits or something, they just yank one.

735
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 7: You just full ejected, full ejected. You know, you're diving

736
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 7: out of the way, trying to get a glove on it,

737
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 7: trying to just then you have to make something exactly.

738
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 7: I mean, I either rather chase it than take a

739
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 7: ball off the chest.

740
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: So okay, smart, Hey Jacob, I got one more for you.

741
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 1: So you're tall, you can't miss you when you're in

742
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: the grocery store at the airport. Whatever it is, right,

743
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: and you had a successful first year in the big leagues.

744
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: Are you getting recognized quite often these days, especially in Milwaukee?

745
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: And I'm sure you've had it in the past, but

746
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: now you really have it? Is it weird? How does

747
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: it feel to walk around in a place and know

748
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: someone's probably gonna come up to you Because there are

749
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: some smaller players, like, hey, we just had Bryce to

750
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: rang on. I bet you he can get away with

751
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: walking through a place and not necessarily being recognized where

752
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: it's like everyone looks up and says, oh, that might

753
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: that might be an athlete and they're looking like, wait,

754
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: I think that's the miss.

755
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a it's crazy.

756
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 7: I remember, you know, first week we were in Milwaukee

757
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 7: and we were me and my fiance were walking through Target,

758
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 7: just you know, getting groceries, normal stuff, and there's a

759
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 7: little kid and his mom ran up to me. It

760
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 7: was like, are you the miss? And I'm like yeah,

761
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,200

764
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 7: experience have people recognize you like that. But no, I'm

765
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 7: not used to it at all.

00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 7: three sixty, no tricks with it.

778
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 6: I'm not that crazy.

779
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 3: Like being called the Miz.

780
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it's fun I mean I think you have.

781
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 3: To call the Miz to get the miz nickname. I

782
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 3: haven't guys connected.

783
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,480

785
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 6: haven't met the guy yet.

786
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 3: Okay, because you kind of you kind of stole you,

787
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 3: kind of ripped on gimmick.

788
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I did it, kind of just got handed to me.

789
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 3: So it was like, that's because they can't say you're Polish.

790
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 6: Last name exactly, yeah, short, yeah, exactly.

791
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 3: That's why I go agent. Yeah, my last name is impossible,

792
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: all right, So on the Polish thing, no WBC for you, right,

793
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 3: So whenever the next one is when we get team

794
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 3: Poland and I can't count.

795
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 6: On you, right, I'd be down.

796
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 3: What about twenty twenty eight in the Olympics. If we

797
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 3: can get Polland in the Olympics.

798
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 6: That too, I would be down if yeah, if it

799
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 6: all works.

800
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 3: Out, Pollock's got to stick together.

801
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 6: We do, we do, we do?

802
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 3: Okay, I love it.

803
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: Well, miss thank you so much for the time. And

804
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: actually a good card. Didn't realize you two hadn't met,

805
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: so we can put that out there. He's usually pretty

806
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: responsive on social media, so we can work a little

807
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: magic and see if we can get him out here

808
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: for a first pitch in Milwaukee. I'm sure Mike Vassalo

809
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: pr extraordinaire would love that.

810
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 6: Oh my, Michael, figure something out.

811
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 3: So Sello showed me a video of the Honkey talk Man.

812
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 3: Do you even know who the Honkey.

813
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 6: Talk Man is?

814
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 3: I'm okay, So he was like a wrestler forever. He

815
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 3: was a ww like Hall of Fame rast okay, and

816
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 3: apparently Vasselo is super proud because he was a spring

817
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 3: training the other day. So if he can get the

818
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 3: Honkey talk Man, it definitely can get the.

819
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 6: Missed Okay, Okay, all right, we'll see. Let's see who

820
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 6: Mike poll is.

821
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 3: Perfect.

822
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna help make it happen. Great to see you.

823
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: Enjoy the rest of camp and we'll see you during

824
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: the season.

825
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 6: Yep, awesome.

826
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 3: Thank you guys, we're in Maryville with Bryce Range, platinum glove,

827
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 3: second basement for the Milwaukee Brewers in a career year. Offensively,

828
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 3: you change your stance a little bit and wam, the

829
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 3: power came, the numbers came. Isn't that easy?

830
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 4: I mean it depends. Sometimes it just takes one thing

831
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 4: to click and you just got it.

832
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 3: Would you change? Can you talk about it? Yeah?

833
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just kind of went back to just doing

834
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 4: what I always have done. I've always been a hitter

835
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 4: who has had a lay kick, like through younger age

836
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 4: in high school, and I came up to the big

837
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 4: leagues with the lay kick, and then I kind of

838
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 4: started dumping a little bit, collapsing and I couldn't hit

839
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 4: the fastball. And then the next year I went to

840
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 4: like a wider bass, more of like a short step,

841
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 4: and I had some success, but it wasn't it was

842
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 4: almost like robotic. And so in twenty twenty four offseason,

843
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 4: I was just like, hey, like, I'm going to go

844
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 4: back to what I do best, like what I've done

845
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 4: my whole life, and which was the lay kick. And

846
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,439
Speaker 4: so I started going back to having a lay kick,

847
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 4: being more up tall and then just being super relaxed

848
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 4: and then trying to work on staying behind the ball,

849
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 4: and I think that kind of helped it helped, it

850
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 4: helped it click again for me. And yeah, it was

851
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 4: It was a fun season, And yeah, is it all right?

852
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 5: Did it take three months to make that click? Because

853
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 5: people are like, oh, one thing and it's like the

854
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 5: next day it clicks because we really saw the power

855
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 5: in August. I think you had ten homers of your

856
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 5: eighteen or was it always coming the whole time? Whole

857
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 5: time and then the power just happened to get there

858
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 5: in August.

859
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've I've had power. It was just trying to

860
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 4: tap into it in the game was one of the

861
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 4: things that was always not I wouldn't say like a

862
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 4: struggle for me, but it was just always I was

863
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 4: more of like just a basic guy, take the ball

864
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 4: the other way, and I did that all throughout the

865
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 4: minor leagues as well, So like trying to then start

866
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 4: to pull the ball in the air was a little

867
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 4: difficult for me, and I think I was I was

868
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 4: kind of attacking it at the wrong way instead of

869
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 4: maybe going more towards the middle of the field and

870
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 4: hope I just catch the ball out or not hope,

871
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 4: but try to catch the ball more out in front.

872
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 4: I was just kind of ripping off everything and then

873
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 4: I was laid or I was dragging. So but the

874
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 4: month I had in August, I made a little adjustment

875
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 4: that wasn't too crazy because I was trying to get

876
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 4: the barrel to turn more deeper in the zone and

877
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 4: so I would like really tighten up my grip and

878
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 4: it just wasn't working. And I was still having success,

879
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 4: but I wasn't able to really like even the balls

880
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 4: I got out in front, I was hitting it to center,

881
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 4: and so I would try to tighten it up to

882
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 4: get the barrel to turn when I got it out

883
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 4: in front, and it just I still wasn't getting it.

884
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 4: And so I actually did the complete opposite of what

885
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 4: I thought, and I loosened up my grip very much

886
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 4: so and I actually like started hanging my pinky off

887
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 4: of the bat my top hand. I started hanging like

888
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 4: my pinky on my knuckle, and then I just started

889
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 4: creating like massive whip and then it just clicked for

890
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 4: me where I was able to actually get the barrel

891
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 4: to turn out in front. And then that's when I

892
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 4: had the August and I knew I always had the power,

893
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 4: it was just trying to tap into it in the game.

894
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 5: I saw you when you were a baby spring training,

895
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 5: you were at the end of the dugout coming in seventh, eighth, ninth,

896
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,879
Speaker 5: and for as small and a young as a guy

897
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 5: as you were, you had power. I watched the VP,

898
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 5: I remember like, hey, how on earth does he do that?

899
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 5: I went like twice as much as he does. So

900
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 5: you've always been like that. Do you regret changing from

901
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 5: how you were or do you feel like that's part

902
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 5: of your journey as a player, because you're like, I

903
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 5: could have just stayed how I was before and I

904
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 5: would have figured it out.

905
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's definitely. I don't. I don't really regret it

906
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 4: because maybe that's why I'm here today having success that

907
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 4: I had in twenty five was just off of that

908
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 4: learning curve. And you know, nobody wants to fail in

909
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 4: this game, and everybody knows it, but sometimes it takes

910
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 4: you to fail to learn to get your to be

911
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 4: the best version of yourself.

912
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 6: And so.

913
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 4: I mean it could have been a blessing in disguise,

914
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 4: And you're right, like, I don't know, do I did?

915
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 4: I want to fail in those time periods. No, I didn't.

916
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 4: But that's that's like the learning curve that you have

917
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 4: that you have and so and that that could be

918
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 4: why I'm here today and I had the year I

919
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 4: had is because I did have those failures and I

920
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 4: learned from it.

921
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 3: What's it like being the worst athlete in your family? Yeah,

922
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,439
Speaker 3: because your dad played in the big leagues, your mom

923
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 3: played in the College World Series, your sisters all played

924
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 3: high level college sports, and then there's you. So yeah,

925
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 3: when you go home, do they say Bryce Man, like,

926
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 3: what are you doing?

927
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 6: Yeah?

928
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,439
Speaker 4: When I was younger, for sure, they would. They would

929
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 4: pick on me. They'd they would uh, they would always

930
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,280
Speaker 4: be more. They would win at everything when I was younger.

931
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 4: And then now that I'm older, I actually have ten

932
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 4: nieces and nephews now, so they're running around and they're

933
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 4: starting to be competitive and play against each other, and

934
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 4: so it's fun to watch them do that. In our family,

935
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 4: like my sisters, we still play games and stuff, but

936
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 4: not at the level we did when I was a

937
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 4: little younger. But yeah, it's it's so much fun now

938
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 4: being able to see my nieces and nephews go out

939
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 4: there and compete and play like wolf ball or play

940
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,400
Speaker 4: tag or whatever. It's really cool. And then obviously my

941
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:16,240
Speaker 4: sisters are stud athletes themselves and they can they can

942
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 4: we could go play something they never played and they

943
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,479
Speaker 4: pick it up really quick, So it's always a good time.

944
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 3: Do you think it helped you or maybe or hurt you? Sometimes?

945
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 3: Your dad was a big league baseball player, and does

946
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,479
Speaker 3: do you still call him for advice? Like you mentioned

947
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 3: your struggles and what you went through to get to

948
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 3: where you are now, could you pick up the phone

949
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 3: and call him and say, Dad, I know you've been here,

950
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 3: you've done this. What he got for me?

951
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 4: Every day? I call him every day. It's definitely a blessing.

952
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 4: There's no there's nothing about it that I'm like, dang,

953
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 4: that sucks. No, Like I I took everything he said,

954
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 4: I learned from it, and how can I How can

955
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 4: I not?

956
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 3: Like I don't know because I have you know, like, oh, yeah,

957
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 3: for sure listen. I have a son who's in college

958
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 3: and Crawds does too, and there was times where they

959
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 3: didn't listen very well. Yeah, but now after every game

960
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 3: you call and you go basically go through the game. Yeah,

961
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 3: because fortunately I can watch him on you know, the

962
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 3: apps and all that stuff.

963
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, you that with you?

964
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 3: Does he watch every game and call you after and

965
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 3: say Bryce, like that, oh two slider you swung at? Man,

966
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 3: Like what are we doing.

967
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 4: He's he's more of like the the mental approach guy

968
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 4: for me. He's like that the guy I lean on

969
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 4: when maybe I need someone to just tell me like, hey, dude,

970
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 4: you're fine, Like you're not as far as you think

971
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 4: you are. Like hey, dude, like I liked your swings

972
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 4: or or maybe the opposite of like, hey, you're falling

973
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 4: behind an account way too much. And then you're swinging

974
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 4: at pitches that the picture wants you to swing at.

975
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 4: It's like stuff like that. And then obviously he could

976
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 4: go into my mechanics and my swing, but during the

977
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 4: season he doesn't want to get too deep into it

978
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 4: because then he's like, I don't want you to overthink

979
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 4: everything when you go into the game. But yeah, I mean,

980
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 4: it's it's for sure a blessing. And we've obviously had

981
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 4: our scuffles here and there, just hitting in the cage

982
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 4: late nights and he says something I disagree with it,

983
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,720
Speaker 4: and then we have a little scuffle, not actually physical scuffle,

984
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:16,399
Speaker 4: but we're talking back and forth and then we work

985
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 4: it out and we ended up we end up working

986
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 4: it out. And now, I mean now at my age,

987
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 4: I mean I don't I don't ever we don't ever

988
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 4: see it. We kind of just agree and keep working at.

989
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 3: Your old age.

990
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're vet, your veteran age. Will he make it

991
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 5: to any of the w WBC games.

992
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe so. I think he's gonna come out

993
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 4: to Houston.

994
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 5: Is that is that something that you're like, Wow, I

995
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 5: get to represent the country.

996
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: Yeah.

997
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 5: I get to do it other times, but now I

998
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 5: get to do it like on a different stage. Has

999
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 5: that has that set in? Are you taking like are

1000
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 5: you taking these at bats right now? Or you think

1001
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 5: about it every once in a while, Like my spring

1002
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 5: training is almost over. I get to go play real games.

1003
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's it's very exciting. I'm really excited

1004
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 4: to go. And I was telling somebody the other day,

1005
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 4: I said, it's set in as much as it possibly

1006
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:14,719
Speaker 4: can right now, and I think when I get there

1007
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 4: then they'll hit me even more. To to be around

1008
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 4: those guys, around those players, is like, it's definitely something

1009
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 4: that you don't take for granted, and you're I'm very

1010
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 4: blessed to be in this situation and have this opportunity

1011
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 4: to go play. But yeah, definitely thought when I'm out

1012
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 4: here taking live at bats and just getting ready to,

1013
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 4: uh to go play, and I'm really excited for.

00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 3: Murph's rich Now has he changed? Has he changed in

1015
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 3: the last couple of days since he signed his extension?

00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,040

Speaker 4: No, No, Murph's not that type of guy. He's he's uh.

1019
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,880

1020
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 4: He's he's unbelievable. What he does for this team and

1021
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 4: this organization is so big. He deserves every bit of it.

1022
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 3: That's awesome. Then, you guys lost some people this offseason.

1023
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 3: You guys won the most games in baseball ninety seven?

1024
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 3: How do you how do you continue that? No, Freddy,

Speaker 3: no Durbin, I know, big woos coming back. How do

1026
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 3: you guys continue what the Brewers have built, which has

1027
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 3: been a really special place with a ton of wins.

1028
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, just kind of controlling what you can. I mean,

1029
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 4: that's out of our control. We we can't really control

1030
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 4: what those moves are made. You just control what you

1031
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 4: can and this is what we have and this is

1032
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 4: who we are. So let's go win games. You know,

1033
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 4: those guys are Freddie being a r one last year,

1034
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 4: you know, going to the Mets, and that's that's part

1035
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 4: of the game. And so you gotta you gotta kind

1036
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 4: of just move on and go in, go in the

1037
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 4: next game and kind of play with the cards you're

1038
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 4: dealt with and control what you can, because that's that's

1039
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 4: that stuff's out of our control.

1040
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 6: We can't.

1041
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 4: We can't really say.

1042
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 3: If you go deep, are you gonna talk to him

1043
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 3: when you run around the bases.

1044
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 4: No, absolutely not.

1045
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna look at him. No, if just smile

1046
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:16,959
Speaker 3: at you, probably.

1047
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 4: Won't he No, I don't know. I'm I don't. I

1048
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 4: don't like doing that stuff. I think that's that that

1049
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 4: might not even do that. No, No, I like Freddy.

1050
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 6: I know.

1051
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. That's why it makes it more

1052
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 3: fun though, to talk a little trash run around.

1053
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 4: The bases after I mean maybe maybe afterwards, after the game,

1054
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 4: after the game, but not not not during the game.

1055
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 3: Thanks for coming out.

1056
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 4: No, thank you guys for having me. I appreciate it.

1057
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 4: I've seen you guys
