1
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: It's Thursday.

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, off to a bad start already. It's Thursday,

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 2: August fourteenth, happy off day. It was well needed after

4
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: whatever the heck that Rocky series was.

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Cardinal Territory.

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 2: My good friend and voice of the Spanish radio broadcast

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 2: with the Stainless Cardinals, Polo Sensio, is back on the show.

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: Back by popular demand.

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: I should say hello, thank you for taking some time

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: out of your very busy off day to chat with me,

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: Katie Wu.

12
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: I was just cleaning my apartment and making sure that

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 3: everything looks good because I'm a very clean person, are you. Yeah,

14
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 3: if you see me on the road or actually now

15
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: on the road at the stadium, I always try to

16
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 3: look good and my apartment always looks good because I

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 3: am a firm believer that if you go out of

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 3: your house feeling that your house is clean and you're good,

19
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: you're going to have a good day. So everybody out there,

20
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 3: clean your rooms, clean your house, and you will feel

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: a lot better. That's that's how I'm feeling right now.

22
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: It's a happy Thursday. Yes, that's seriously against the Rockies.

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 3: I mean watching baseball yesterday after our game the Cardinals

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: game against the Rockies. I was watching the Dodgers and

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 3: the Angels. It's like the Angels are to the Dodgers

26
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: what the Rockies are to the Cardinals. Yes, I thought

27
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: things that teams that struggle against everybody else, but then

28
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 3: against one team, boom, you go get it. But anyway,

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 3: that's that's how I feel. I feel good.

30
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad you feel good.

31
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: And I think we were had the same wavelength. Because

32
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: I cleaned my kitchen today. I was needed something that

33
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: I was on the road for like ten days, and

34
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how an apartment can get so cluttered

35
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: when I'm not even in here. But I came home

36
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: after the our series yesterday and I looked around my

37
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: apartment as like something has to change, so look at.

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 3: Us has to change. Things are changing, Katie, Things are changing.

39
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: Things are very much changing. Let's get into it, Pullos.

40
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: We think about what the next six weeks for the

41
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: Cardinals are going to look like they're five hundred again.

42
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: On Monday, we were talking about them potentially sneaking in

43
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: three games back from the postseason or from the final

44
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 2: wildcard spot, making a potential postseason ish run. I don't

45
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: know how much stock you put into that. I don't

46
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: know if it's as little as I did.

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: And then you know, the.

48
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: Rocky Series kind of deflates the air. But when you

49
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: look at this team right now going forward, what do

50
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 2: you think is the most important thing they could dow?

51
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: I mean, coming into the season, we all heard it, right,

52
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: and we've said it before a couple of times that

53
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 3: I've internet show led the kids play. The most important

54
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: thing for me is that because as long as the

55
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: Mets exist, you're going to have a chance to get

56
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: into that third wildcard. As long as the Mets exist,

57
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: you're going to have a chance. You know, the Reds

58
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: are like one game out now we are. The Cardinals

59
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: are four games out. And if something, if we know

60
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: something about this team, is that we know nothing about

61
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: the team, Like this team can go hot, pop up

62
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: up about be a games over five hundred, and then

63
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 3: this team can go cold, blah blah blah, go at

64
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: five hundred and again at the beginning of the season,

65
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: that's what a lot of people were expecting, a five

66
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: hundred bowl club. Yes, I get it. The players don't

67
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 3: think that, the manager doesn't think that, the coaches don't

68
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: think that the front office doesn't think that, but everybody

69
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: the outside world was like, you know, that's what who

70
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: the Cardinals are. So I think what we are now

71
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 3: is what people were expecting for the Cardinals to be.

72
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 3: I also think that there is another run in them.

73
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: I do believe there's another run in them. How close

74
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: will they get to a playoff spot? We don't know

75
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: one thing that I've noticed this year, Katie. And you know,

76
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: I'm pretty new in Saint Leuis, right. This is our

77
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: tenth season doing baseball, and I still believe I still

78
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: think that I'm new to Sain Lewis over the last

79
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: few years except for the last two, but before that,

80
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: we always heard about the September devil magic and the

81
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: run to the players, d da da da. That is

82
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: not happening this year. So the mindset of the fan

83
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 3: base is changing, has changed. Nobody thinks amongst the fans

84
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: that this team has a run in them still, and

85
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: to me, that's important. That's important because it changes everything

86
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 3: that the front office and the coaches and the organization

87
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 3: is going to think in the future. The fans are changing.

88
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: The mindset that changing, and perhaps today's show should be.

89
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 3: Times are changing because now people are not believing in

90
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: this team. I just said, do I believe they have

91
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 3: another run? I do believe they have another run, and

92
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: I want them to have another run. So I don't

93
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 3: know what to think. I really don't know what to

94
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 3: think about this team. I mean, they show you one

95
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: day really really good things, then the next day things

96
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 3: don't go their ways. It's like a yeah, it's a

97
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 3: little frustrating for everybody. And you can tell like I

98
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 3: hardly ever get frustrated. But thank you, Katie. Well you've

99
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 3: made me frustrated this morning, that I have that.

100
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: Effect on people. It seems sorry about it. I'm with you.

101
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 2: I think there's, for whatever reason, a huge difference between

102
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: being three games out of a postseason spot and four.

103
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: I don't know why, but what I have taught, like

104
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: after the deadline, I told myself, release your expectations and

105
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: just see how they play. This rotation has problems, as

106
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: we know. There are some serious concern over the inconsistency

107
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: of the offense. I like the bullpen not their best

108
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 2: day yesterday. That's going to happen. You're allowed to have

109
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: a bad day if you're Jojo Romero. In the course

110
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: of three months, Okay, So, if there's one thing I'm

111
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: banking the success of this team on, it is the bullpen,

112
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: because they've overcome adversity over and over again. I'm just

113
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: not sure if that's enough to make up for a

114
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: very sketch starting rotation in terms of, you know, not

115
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 2: having a lot of consistency there and an offense that

116
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: also hasn't had a lot of consistency there.

117
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: So is it frustrating?

118
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: Yes, We've talked about it all season long with fans

119
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: like ride the roller coaster. It kind of feels like

120
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: a toxic relationship with the Saint Lois Cardinals with very

121
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 2: long time. But as we look forward to the Romainians

122
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: seven six weeks of the regular season, you are right.

123
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: The Mets keep Mets in it up, good one put

124
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: on a show, and you know, the Reds I'm not.

125
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: I've always been kind of a Reds hater and I

126
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: can't give you any valid reason why, so I'm just

127
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: gonna take my opinion out of there.

128
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 3: The Reds are like, it's one of those teams that

129
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 3: it's very easy to not like or to forget about them.

130
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 2: I just never I never believe that they will actually

131
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 2: put a run together. I could be wrong this year,

132
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: but I never actually felt that no.

133
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 3: No, no, And and it feels the same way because

134
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: we didn't know who they were they were going to be. Yeah,

135
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: they had a new manager, but how much impact does

136
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 3: a manager have on a team? And I guess you know,

137
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 3: Tito Francona's having a good impact on them because he

138
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: has the one game out of the bets because the

139
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 3: Mets keep metsing around. It's yeah, man, it's it's frustrating,

140
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 3: is maddening. But that's why we love it. That's why

141
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: we're here. That's why you are doing what you're doing.

142
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: That's why I do what I do because we love

143
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 3: that feeling of frustration and stress, thinking and hoping that

144
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: one day we're going to be part of that team

145
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 3: that is the final team, is the final team drinking champagne.

146
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: And that's why we keep doing it. And that's why

147
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: we go back to doing it this Cardinal team. Yeah,

148
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: I mean you said the rotation, Who are we? What

149
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 3: are we? You know? Is Libby tired? Is Liby just

150
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: having a bad rough stretch out? What's going on with

151
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: Michael as you're not at home, he's pretty good, you know,

152
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: he's decent, he's a five inning good guy. Then on

153
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: the road he just blows up. Who is Sonny Gray?

154
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: Sonny Gray is see your a's or is he not

155
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: your ace? And the Seed do things like an ace

156
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 3: should do. Then you have the other two guys, McGreevy

157
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: and Palante, which I was thinking this morning. If you

158
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: combine McGreevy and Planti you have a great pitcher like

159
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: because McGreevy is super cheer, super cool, attacks, attacks, and

160
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 3: then Polante cares so much that at times on the

161
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: mountain he looks like he's about to like knock somebody's

162
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: teeth in or something like that. It's just, it's it's

163
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: it's crazy to think that even though we have had

164
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 3: so many issues throughout the year. You said it, somehow

165
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: three sounds a lot better than four. But four is

166
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: not that bad. And I said it five minutes ago.

167
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: I believe this team still has a run. What kind

168
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 3: of run, I don't know, but I feel that going

169
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: into the last couple of weeks of the season, this

170
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 3: team is gonna have a real chance of sneaking in

171
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: the playoffs.

172
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 2: You and Adam Waynwright lock it in with your safe besties,

173
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: and we'll see Adam Waynwright this series. I believe him

174
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: and aj Prasinski, friend of the show, and a fal

175
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: Territory have the broadcast for Saturday nights Cardinals Yankees game.

176
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: We'll get into that series though.

177
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 2: First, however, we must hear from our good pals at

178
00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: DraftKings for our player.

179
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: To watch segment. All right, we brought him. What are

180
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: you drinking? Did you got to Fielder's choice?

181
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 3: My friends are field their choice. Go get the polo

182
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 3: breakfast burrito. It's really good. So you know who you

183
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: know who eats a polo breakfast Mario quite often. You're

184
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: not gonna believe Jojo.

185
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: Romero, Oh my gosh, the guy who is our Draftings

186
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: player spotlight the way.

187
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: No, I didn't tell you this, but yeah, this is true.

188
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: See so in sync, I wanted to talk about Jojo Romero,

189
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 2: so I figured we'd make him our.

190
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: Our player spotlight. Uh.

191
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: Does he buy his scooter to field his choice, pick

192
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: up the burrito and then go to the ballpark.

193
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 3: No? No, he has breakfast and then goes to the ballpark. Okay,

194
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: it's it's it's funny because I you know, we're neighbors

195
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 3: and we walked. I walked the same way that he

196
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 3: goes by. Oh here ding ding ding ding, kind of

197
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 3: like yesterday, ding ding. That's the ball out of a

198
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 3: good one to God.

199
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: But anyway, that was that was a tank.

200
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

201
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: Jojo Romero what a guy coming in after the trade

202
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: deadline as the team's unofficial closer.

203
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: They are doing a closer.

204
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: By committee by definition, because there's only one left hander,

205
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 2: Romero in the bullpen. Though. John King will start a

206
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: rehassignment either today, Thursday or Friday with Triple A Memphis

207
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: and Charlotte, I believe is where they are. So John

208
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: King on his way back, hopefully soon. But for Jojo,

209
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: I think it's so interesting as we see him, and

210
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 2: you know Jojo, well, you're very close with him, Polo,

211
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: and you look at a where he was in twenty

212
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: three when he came over in that trade four mendo

213
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: so sat from Philadelphia to where he is now, the

214
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: progression and the belief in his stuff. He's nasty and yes,

215
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: I know that pitch did not go his way against

216
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: the Rockies yesterday, but that was the first home run

217
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 2: he'd surrendered since April twenty first, and he's been so

218
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 2: effective against lefties all year. Has really found a way

219
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: to combat ritis, and he is when you look at

220
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: the Cardinals bullpen that should be depleted, helping keep them

221
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: sustainable and effective, even as a top option in that bullpen.

222
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: In your conversations with Jojo Romero, what have you learned

223
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: about him as he's embraced this new role here in

224
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: Saint Louis.

225
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 3: Well, one thing is, and we hear this a lot

226
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 3: from guys. He wants to stay here. He is open

227
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 3: to listening, he is open to sitting down, him and

228
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 3: his agent. They want to be here. They want to

229
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 3: stay here. They like it here. They're really, really do

230
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: And when you hear you don't hear that all the

231
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: time from every single player. Some players are like, hey,

232
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 3: I'm going to be a free agent and see what happens.

233
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: Some hey, whatever happens. But when somebody tells you, like

234
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: the kids would Ryan Helsley, Hey, I know I'm going

235
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 3: to be traded, but hopefully in the off season we

236
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: can talk and I can come back. So Jojo wants

237
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 3: to be here, and that's why he wants that ball.

238
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 3: He wants it and he takes it. He does is

239
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: the best that he can and under the circumstances being

240
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 3: the only lefty, and that's one thing that I haven't

241
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 3: asked him, and I will do you have a little

242
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 3: extra pressure just knowing that you are the one lefty

243
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 3: in the bullpen right now, you have a bunch of rieties.

244
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 3: But like yesterday, you know, he was the guy and

245
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: one way or the other, the three high leverage guys

246
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 3: that we have right now, you cannot use them every day.

247
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: And Jojo was the guy at that moment, and you

248
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 3: know it didn't work out for him, And yes it

249
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 3: was a bad moment, but you said it. You know,

250
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: one home run since April, that's not bad at all.

251
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: He wants it, He wants it bad. He has that

252
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 3: passion and you see it, you know when he closed

253
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 3: the game the other night, his passion, his like emphasis

254
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: on let's go. I like that. You like that from

255
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 3: a player. You like to see that because there's so

256
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 3: many players and pictures in particular that you don't see

257
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: any passion. And as a fan, you want that. You

258
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: want that connection because if you're in the stands, if

259
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: you're at home watching or listening on La Tremendo eight

260
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: eighty and Espanol, of course, and you get excited. You

261
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: want your players to get excited, and I welcome that,

262
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 3: and I welcome somebody like Jojo Rometo on my team

263
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: any time, any year, any day. I want somebody like that,

264
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 3: because the last thing I want is somebody that shows

265
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: no emotion. He might be somebody might be effective all

266
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 3: the time, but with no emotion, that takes away from

267
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: the moment. I love what he does, I love what

268
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 3: he is doing, and I really want him to keep

269
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 3: succeeding and being a superstar one day. And again that

270
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,119
Speaker 3: doesn't heard that his parents are family, are Mexican, somno Mahicano.

271
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: Let's go.

272
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: I'm with you on everything there from Jojo and what

273
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: he's done in twenty three when he came in and

274
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 2: he was the closer, that was the Cardinals just figuring out. Okay,

275
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: look we are twenty games out of it. Let's see

276
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: what he has. Can he figure this out? We're gonna

277
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: put him in there, regardless of lame, regardless of handonness.

278
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: Go figure it out, singer swim, and he did a

279
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 2: really nice job that gave him the confidence to be

280
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 2: a key setup believer. In twenty four, we know how

281
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 2: good that bullpen was and now here. He is in

282
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: the same role kind of that he was in twenty

283
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: twenty three, except they already know what they have in him.

284
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: They already know what kind of stuff he is, how

285
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: he prepares, how he goes in attacks opposing hitters. And

286
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: when I talk to him, he said, you know, yeah,

287
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: of course it's not ideal to be the only lefty

288
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: he goes. But I don't think of it at that,

289
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: he says. I think of it more as a I

290
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: don't have a designated role. My role is to just

291
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: be ready. Whether it's the sixth, seventh, eighth, or ninth.

292
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: All I need to know is who am I going

293
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 2: to face. And he goes to our pal Julio in

294
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: the bullpen and ask who are the pinch hitters, what

295
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: lane we need to prepare for, and just tell me

296
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: when to be ready, and I'll go in. And because

297
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: he has that confidence and the trust and his stuff,

298
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: that stuff plays regardless of lane leverage, wherever they are

299
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 2: in the game. So Jojo Romero can be a real

300
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: weapon for this team next year. And as the Cardinals

301
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: are trying to figure out exactly who they can count on,

302
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 2: I think they already know they can count on Jojo

303
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 2: in twenty.

304
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 3: Twenty six, count on Jojo. I like that, that's a

305
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: campaign hashtag count on Jojo. And then Jojo. That's a

306
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 3: beautiful name, Joe. I mean, yeah, his name is Joseph

307
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: abel Romero. But by the way, by the way, I

308
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: had a conversation with his dad the other day, by

309
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: the name of Abeli. He's going to be here this weekend.

00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: behind him.

362

Speaker 1: With the gloves nice.

363
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 3: He signed for me.

364
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 2: There, love that love that for you. My background is

365
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: not nearly as cool, but whatever, it's fine.

366
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: Uh.

367
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: Everyone that was there again, wasn't me? Uh has raved

368
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: about how that weekend went. And I know you and

369
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: Yadi are especially close. You helped organize this. What was

370
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 2: your takeaway from Yadi weekend.

371
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 3: I loved it. I you know, like I tell people,

372
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 3: when people tell me, I'll tell him we miss him,

373
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 3: tell him we miss him. And they missed the player, right,

374
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 3: they missed the passion. For me, I miss my friend

375
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 3: because you know, for whatever reason we we we got

376
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 3: close to the point where, yeah we it's always baseball,

377
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 3: but it's more family and and just life now than

378
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 3: than than than baseball. And I loved having him here.

379
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 3: I had, like you said, a little small part on

380
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 3: him being being back in Saint Louis. And when I

381
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,959
Speaker 3: picked him up from the airport, he had a smile

382
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: from here to here and he sees me and hey,

383
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 3: let's go, let's do this. And from the minute he

384
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 3: got here, he was happy, he was relaxed, he enjoyed

385
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: his time. He missed the I think that the part

386
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: that he missed the most, other than the fans and

387
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 3: the love of the fans, was be part of the

388
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 3: team again. Feel like you're part of a team. And

389
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:57,480

392
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: trying to make people understand that he's not scared. He

393
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 3: is very secure. He is confident of who he is.

Speaker 3: Oli Oliver, come like I tell him, call him. Because

395

Speaker 3: he was ahead of everybody. He was ahead of the

396
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 3: media once he realized that this was happening, once he

397
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: heard that Yadi was on the plane and Yaddy had

398
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: landed in Saint Louis. Okay, this is happening. He is here.

399
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: Let me talk to the media, let me talk to

400
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 3: the fans, and let's make sure that Yadier Molina, who

00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: is a nikon, a hero, beloved, cardinal and forever will be,

403
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 3: if you're watching, I told you already face to face

404
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 3: on Saturday morning. I'm saying it again. You did a

405
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 3: phenomenal job of telling people. I know what I have,

406
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 3: I know who I am, I know who this guy is,

407
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: and if he can make me better as a manager

408
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 3: and make my team better now and for the future,

409
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 3: anybody who can make me better, and even you know me,

410
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 3: Polo or you Katie, we are welcome. We welcome those people,

411
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 3: come challenge me, make me better. Let's work together for

412
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: one goal, and the goal is to bring Cardinal Baseball

413
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 3: back to the playoffs and bring number twelve to the house.

414
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 3: So with that being said, Ali again, Felicia did a

415
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: great job. You earned a lot more. I mean I

416
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 3: already respected you, but a lot more than before and

417
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 3: I told you already. But yeah, going back to Yadi,

418
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 3: I mean he enjoyed every single one of the moments

419
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 3: talking to the catchers, you know, putting a couple of

420
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 3: thirty minute, one hour clinics for Poso, for for Petro Pajez,

421
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: for Pogi, for KT, for Julio Range, the coach in

422
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 3: the bullpen. And one of the things that some people

423
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 3: don't understand. Yeah, you're a catcher, right and you are

424
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 3: one of the best. Ever, that doesn't mean that you

425
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 3: only know catching. You know a lot of things planning,

426
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: you know, pitching. And one of the conversations I had

427
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: was with Andrew Garnillo and another believer for the Cardinals,

428
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 3: and he was very happy to not only meet him,

429
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 3: but to talk to him and to hear what he

430
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 3: was saying about planning ahead of time. So his visit

431
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: when I dropped him off at the airport on the

432
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 3: way back on Sunday morning, I asked him, Hey, from

433
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 3: one to ten, how do you you know what's the

434
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 3: grade you put on this visit? And he said eight.

435
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, that's not about grade. And then he

436
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 3: said it will be ten if my flight doesn't get

437
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 3: delayed back home. The flight got delayed about forty five minutes,

438
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 3: so maybe a nine. I mean, I cannot promise that

439
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 3: he's going to be back. I'm not him, He's not

440
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 3: I but I can tell you that he is very

441
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,880
Speaker 3: happy and he's looking forward to coming back and talk

442
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 3: some more baseball with the guys and get to know

443
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 3: this team, because he knows this team is going to

444
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: be a lot of those guys, a lot of the

445
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 3: guys we have are gonna be here for a while,

446
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 3: for a few years, so he wants them to know

447
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: him and he wants to know them too. So it

448
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 3: was a very good visit for Saint Louis, for him,

449
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 3: for Cardinal Nation, for our manager, for our front office

450
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 3: and our future front office. And also, I mean he

451
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 3: made an appearance at then you see him one of

452
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 3: his gloves. They didn't have a glove from Yadi at

453
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 3: the You see him for some reason. Yeah, it was crazy.

454
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: So it's there now and it's going to be out

455
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 3: for people to watch it or look at it. And

456
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 3: again he did things that in the past he didn't

457
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 3: because he was playing. He was worried about playing baseball

458
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: and being ready. Now he got from what I saw right,

459
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: he got to enjoy baseball again. He got to enjoy

460
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 3: then you see him, and if we haven't been to

461
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 3: the Cardinals museum, please do so it's really really cool.

462
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean it was really really good, Katie.

463
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 3: And you missed a good weekend of baseball because the

464
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: Cardinals the Cubs, and you miss the return of Yadi

465
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 3: and Molina. But I'm sure that you'll be around for

466
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: the next time he's he's here.

467
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: But you know what I did see.

468
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: I did see a shutout loss of the Rockies and

469
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 2: a series lost to the Rockies. So obviously, really good

470
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 2: timing on you.

471
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 3: You we need to get you out of here.

472
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: Remind me careful what you're for when I think you're

473
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: completely right about the Yaudi situation. Again, I wasn't there,

474
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: but from people that I've talked to, whether it was

475
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 2: the importance of Yati coming back like he is Saint Louis.

476
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: You know, we this franchise is so lucky to have

477
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 2: so many historic names and but there is there's only

478
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 2: one number four. And for Yati to come back after

479
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 2: such a long absence, I you know, talked to him

480
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: in spring training, as you know, and that was the

481
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: first time we really heard from him in a while.

482
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: Just about where he was at.

483
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 2: I think it makes a ton of sense to want

484
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: to be around his family and help his son who's

485
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 2: in high school. Uh, try to commit and he did

486
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 2: to U t Austin, I believe right, Yeah, congratulations Yannu.

487
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 2: But for him to come back have that reception, to

488
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: have Ali Marmal do what he did and say like, hey,

489
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be selfish here. This is the

490
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 2: best thing for everybody in the organization to have Yati here,

491
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 2: come sit in the dugout with me, Yati in the

492
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 2: city connects. I just loved everything about it. And I

493
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 2: know that he did a couple of signings out one

494
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 2: with you out in South County to go visit the museum,

495
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 2: to just be a part of this organization. Again, it

496
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: can be very hard as a player, not just a player,

497
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: but a franchise icon to step away from the game

498
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 2: hire and not really know what your identity is after that.

499
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 2: But one thing about YACHTI is that he will always

500
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: be synonymous with Saint Louis. And I think that was

501
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 2: relayed to him this weekend. And you know him much

502
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: better than I do. Maybe that was something he needed

503
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: to feel and experience firsthand to really understand it.

504
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, because last time he was here was when Adam

505
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 3: retired and listen lasted about twenty four hours and it

506
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: was quick. It was in and out, in and out.

507
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 3: This one was a lot more relaxed, a lot more time.

508
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 3: He enjoyed it. He enjoyed it very much. And I

509
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 3: don't know if you saw this, but at the end

510
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 3: of game, one of that serious pa or was like

511
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 3: praising his presence in the dagout like during the game,

512
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 3: and Benji Molina, my partner in the booth, he caught

513
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 3: you know, he does his job. I do my job,

514
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 3: so he's looking more around what's what's happening, And he

515
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 3: caught it and we talked about it during the during

516
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 3: the broadcast, how Yadi was like whistling and yelling, not

517
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 3: yelling in a bad way, like for him to listen

518
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: to him to hear him, and he was like telling him, like, hey,

519
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: go inside against Kyle Tucker, Like you know, the Cuffs

520
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 3: were pitching inside and they hit Wilson Contreras, and they've

521
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: been hitting everybody. And during one not bad with Kyle Tucker.

522
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: I looked and Yaddy was telling Pedro like go up

523
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 3: and in like like make him feel uncomfortable. So two

524
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 3: pitches up and in the second one hit a fly

525
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: ball to center field with Mensa with runners first and

526
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 3: second late in the game. So not only he was

527
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,440
Speaker 3: talking to Pedro, and then Pedro like, Okay, I need

528
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 3: to tell this guy, you need we need to do

529
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 3: this a little more, because if I don't have the experience,

530
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 3: that guy over there has the experience, and let's do it.

531
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 3: And Pedro said it. I enjoyed it. I really loved

532
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 3: the way he was on me the whole game. And

533
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 3: I hope he comes back and we continue this relationship.

534
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 3: And let's not forget Pedro and and and Joel and

535
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 3: even Evanne. Those are young young catchers that need some guidance.

536
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 3: Just just because they are on the big league doesn't

537
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 3: mean they don't need to get better or they don't

538
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 3: need help. I think to stay at this level. That's

539
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 3: when you need the most help because sometimes, you know,

540
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 3: you go through the minor leagues, then you get to

541
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 3: the big leagues, and it's sometimes it's very easy to

542
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: get to the big leagues. You know, guys that have

543
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of talent, a lot of power.

544
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 3: But then once you get to the big leagues, what's

545
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 3: your next challenge? Just be in the big leagues, Just navigate,

546
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 3: be a log in the ocean and the Gulf of Mexico,

547
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: just like going around and you know here and there,

548
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 3: No you want to You want that challenge. You want

549
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 3: to be challenged at something or by someone. And I

550
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,479
Speaker 3: think having somebody like that it challenged not only the catchers,

551
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 3: but a lot of people. And who knows, perhaps even

552
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 3: that even the manager, you know, because I know they

553
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 3: were talking a lot. They were talking, and he was

554
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: talking with Dusty, he was talking with Stubby, Clad with

555
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 3: Pop Warner, with everybody. And I know from afar looking

556
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 3: at it, he enjoyed it, and those guys enjoyed it too.

557
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 3: It's it was a good It was a good It

558
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 3: was a good thing. It was a good thing to

559
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 3: have him. And you said it, there's there's many many

560
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 3: legends and many many Hall of famers, but there's only

561
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 3: one YACHTI you know, and that guy when you when

562
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: you see him walk on the field, you know that

563
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 3: that somebody, that that person is special and he's very

564
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 3: special in many many ways here and.

565
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 2: Sid those and how lucky are we to be able

566
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 2: to chronicle even just a short bit of Yaddi's time here?

567
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 3: Right? I love that. That's that's awesome.

568
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,600

Speaker 2: We've done a lot of talking about the state of

590
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 2: the Cardinals organization, but one thing that I think we

591
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 2: should bring a lot of light to You've pointed out

592
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: in the beginning of the episode. It's been ten years

593
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 2: of Spanish radio broadcast here in Saint Louis. You and

594
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: Benji Molina have done an exceptional job job and making

595
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: the Cardinals more accessible, not just domestically, but globally, and

596
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: that's important as Major League Baseball tries to expand its game,

597
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: as the Saint was Cardinals, one of the most historic

598
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: organizations in sports, try to do the same. And I

599
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: don't think maybe what you have done has been emphasized enough.

600
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: Lately, so let's let's give it a shot.

601
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: How does the Cardinals Spanish broadcast work for you?

602
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: What do you enjoy about it?

603
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 3: It's a miracle that is working now. I enjoy everything

604
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: like like the people you know. Like I always tell

605
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: when people ask me, what's your favorite part of the

606
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 3: favorite part of your job. The favorite part of my

607
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 3: job is having those headphones on and talk about baseball

608
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 3: like the people you know, meeting people like you, like

609
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 3: you know, all of the writers, the players, the coaches,

610
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 3: the owners, the GM, the new GM, the press. Like

611
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 3: that is that is really really good And I enjoy that.

612
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 3: I knew that was that was going to be the

613
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: part of the job that I was gonna it was

614
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 3: gonna be easy for me if there's so, but nothing

615
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 3: is ever easy, but connecting with the community, not only

616
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 3: with the Latinos and San Louis, but the Latinos. There

617
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 3: are fans of the Cardinals worldwide and Latinos that are

618
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 3: worldwide fans of baseball because we like I said, yesterday,

619
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 3: you were watching I didn't know, but I told you,

620
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 3: and you said you were doing it too. You were

621
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 3: watching the Dodgers against the Angels. And tonight I'm gonna

622
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 3: watch whatever game is out there. Why because we love

623
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: baseball and whenever I'm watching, I like to listen. A

624
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 3: couple of innings in Spanish. Why because I want to

625
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: know what's out there. I want to know who's out there,

626
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: and yeah, you know, I want to know what kind

627
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 3: of competition is out there and see how I can

628
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 3: get better by learning from other people. And that is

629
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 3: very important because when we look at others, when we

630
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: see what others do then help us grow. That's really good.

631
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 3: And what we have done here in Saint Louis little

632
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 3: by little we become. We are now a staple of

633
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 3: Cardinals baseball because the last few years you cannot paint

634
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: the picture of the Cardinals without the Spanish broadcast and

635
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 3: the calls and the moments that Benji and I have

636
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: been able to throw out there to our fans and

637
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 3: to be able, Like I said, you know, JoJo's dad

638
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 3: they listen in Spanish and Mexico. His grandparents live in

639
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 3: Mexico and they don't speak a lot of English. So

640
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 3: the families are connected with the players. A couple of

641
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 3: days ago was talking to Julio Ranghahler, both play coach.

642
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 3: His parents listened to the broadcast and Panama and not

643
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 3: only that, you know, not only that the families of

644
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 3: the players, but people all over the world. They let

645
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 3: us know where they're listening from. And you said it.

646
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 3: MLB is telling us they want to grow the game

647
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 3: of baseball worldwide or keep growing. It will help us grow,

648
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 3: help me, help you, as Jerry Maguire said in that movie,

649
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 3: help me help you, so help us help MLB continue

650
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 3: to grow. And I know in Saint Lewis the population

651
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 3: of Latinos is not it's not huge. It's not big

652
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 3: like you know, like Chicago, New York, LA, or any

653
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: any any place of California. But we are here and

654
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 3: we I see them. I see me on the streets.

655
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 3: I see the kids. I see them like lasking me

656
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 3: for autographs and things like that. And that's that's important.

657
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 3: I don't do this and I'm gonna talk about me.

658
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: I don't do this because I want to be recognized

659
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 3: or I want people to give me likes on Instagram.

660
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 3: That's the last thing in my worries. You know, I

661
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 3: have a family, I have myself, I have friends that

662
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 3: I that I worry about. Likes or no likes on Instagram.

663
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 3: You know whatever, if you if you like it, fine,

664
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 3: if not, that's also fine. But September eighteenth, we just

665
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 3: got a letter. I got it and then you know,

666
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 3: Benji also got it. We've being recognized by the City

667
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 3: of Saint Louis as part of you know, a group.

668
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: I think it's like this year is like four people

669
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 3: that they are recognizing as Latinos helping Latinos, Like like

670
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 3: the Hispanic Heritage Month is being celebrated, and they are

671
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 3: going to celebrate us. They're gonna give us an award

672
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 3: or diploma. I don't do my job for that, but

673
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 3: I welcome that because being recognized, even though it's not

674
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: part of what I want to do, it feels good.

675
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 3: It feels good to know that people have their back.

676
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 3: It feels good to know that people see what you do,

677
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 3: hear what you do, and perhaps you don't see eye

678
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: to eye with other people in the community, but when

679
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 3: we work together, good things can happen. And yes, you know,

680
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 3: we've been doing any one games now for three or

681
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 3: four years now, well actually since COVID we've done every

682
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 3: single home game. Hopefully in the future we can we

683
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 3: can go out more, we can do out more, we

684
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 3: can take Cardinal Baseball to the road and continue to grow.

685
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 3: That's that's that's one part. I like to be challenged.

686
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: I like to feel that there's a challenge out there

687
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 3: for me, and I think doing one sixty two at

688
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 3: some point it's gonna be a good challenge. I'm up

689
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 3: for it. And you know, I only have to thank

Speaker 3: I cannot wait. You know, I'm waiting to see what

710
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 3: the future holds for me as a broadcaster and obviously

711
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 3: for the Cardinals Spanish broadcast, because I was telling somebody

712
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 3: else all the work that I've done this year's is

713
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 3: not just for me because one day, I don't know when,

714
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 3: you know, it could be standing up, or it could

715
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 3: be with my feet in front of me. I'm gonna

716
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 3: leave this place, you know, if I you know what

717
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like I can be walking where I can

718
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 3: be dead, But somebody else is gonna come in and

719
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 3: they're gonna keep the work or or or benefit from

720
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 3: from my sacrifices. And that is also part of the job.

721
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 3: And I love that to think that somebody else is

722
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 3: gonna come in one day, one way or the other

723
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 3: and they're gonna benefit from what I've worked. That's what

724
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 3: we do. That's what you also do, Katie Will. I

725
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 3: mean being a minority, being a very smart female minority.

726
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,240
Speaker 3: It's not easy in your business. And we talked about

727
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 3: this off camera, but what you what you do, what

00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you.

Speaker 2: And I'm fired up. I feel like i could just

732
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: run through a wall. Thank you, Thank you for sharing that. Also,

00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: It is well deserved.

735
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 2: Anyone who has taken a look at how the how

736
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: you have grown the Cardinals Spanish radio broadcast in this

737
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: organization and just done so much for the Latino community

738
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 2: knows that this is not just very well deserved, but

739
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 2: very long overdue. So proud of you, my friend, and

740
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see you back at the ballpark tomorrow

741
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 2: Friday for what was supposed.

742
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: To be a big one, but both these teams.

743
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 3: Kind of well, it is a big one for both

744
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,320
Speaker 3: of them because let's just say the Cardinals sweep the Yankees,

745
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 3: they are back in it.

746
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 2: That's exactly something they would do. That is, after losing

747
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 2: to the Rockies, That's exactly what they would do.

748
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 3: Because we play up to the competition, or we played

749
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 3: down to the competition. We go to LA and beat

750
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 3: the Doggers two out of three, Chicago we beat them

751
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,439
Speaker 3: two three. Then the Rockies they beat us two three.

752
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 3: What's the most logical thing to happen we beat the

753
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 3: Yankees because they're tight. I just I just hope we

754
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 3: have a last DS as a as an umpire and

755
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 3: then he messes up and then Aaron Bood goes into

756
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 3: the to to argue with him and start doing his thing,

757
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 3: you know, like he did it one day.

758
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: A marble. There there's gonna be So I think I think.

759
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,920

Speaker 2: I have the Yankees and the Cardinals at the same time.

765
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 2: So guarantee some messed up stuff will happen this weekend.

766
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 2: And if you are looking, of course, when you're a

767

772
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 2: Multiple New York reporters, including the Athletics Brend and cutting

773
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 2: reporting that Paul go Schmith stuff. We're in a low knee,

774
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 2: a low grade right knee strain on Tuesday's game against

775
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 2: the Twins. He did not play Wednesday, and ile stint

776
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 2: could be possible. The team will know more by Friday,

777
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 2: so let's keep our fingers crossed that Goldie makes it

778
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 2: to Saint Louis that he's healthy.

779
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: And he's good to go.

780
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 2: That'd be pretty disappointing for the many fans hoping to give.

781
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 1: Him a well deserved standing ovation on Friday.

782
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 3: Hey, we can still clap for him. He doesn't need the.

783
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,200
