John Hayman wrote, congratulations to the 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers for reaching the playoffs with an eight and 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: nine record. If MLB ever had a team in the 5 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: postseason with a four to seventy one winning percentage, they'd 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 1: never hear the end of it. And there were great 7 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: comments because there were tons of football fans going after him, 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: but then they were baseball fans countering that would be 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: the A's or the Braves this past season making it 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. 11 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 2: This apems a lot of foot teventy six win. 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it happens in football, but he was just saying 13 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: they would be uproar in baseball, and I do agree. 14 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 3: I think they would three win. Two thousand and six 15 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 3: Cardinals won the World Series. 16 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: They were about five hundred, and that's the one example 17 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: that was brought up. The other examples were crap. People 18 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: were bringing up a ton of twenty twenty examples like 19 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: Brewers and Astros. I'm like twenty twenty really, and then 20 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: also the week one that I saw for many there 21 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: were like there are plenty of stretches where teams go 22 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: eight to nine in baseball I'm like, that is completely irrelevant, 23 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: Like just them. 24 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 4: That would be like a football team going one and two, 25 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 4: not even let's see seventeen, that's about a tenth. So 26 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 4: that'd be like a team going one and one, going 27 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 4: too and you're like, oh, no, they can't make the 28 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 4: playoffs because they went on. 29 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 3: Too every no idea. 30 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 5: What we're talking about, right, the Jets. 31 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 4: I mean if they compared the Jets to a baseball team, 32 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 4: that'd be like, they never make the playoffs. 33 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: All right, Well, then you know what, it's perfect timing 34 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: to bring in our next guest who likes that team. 35 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: Here he is, Vinnie Pasquentino joining us right now. We 36 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: might start there, dude, do you think that how you doing? 37 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: First of all as your offseason? Then I'll get to 38 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: what we were just talking about. 39 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 5: Going very well, progressing the way i'd like it too. 40 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 5: The football season is over for the Jets, so I 41 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 5: can relax now. 42 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 6: They got the way to pick. 43 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 3: By the way, do you see what I'm holding up? 44 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 3: A zero? Their team had zero interceptions for the whole year. 45 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 4: That's impossible to have and you have a defensive guy 46 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 4: as the coach. 47 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 3: How do you have Sorry, I know it's a baseball show. 48 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 3: But they had zero. 49 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 4: You would think like a gaball would get deflected and 50 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 4: somebody would catch one. 51 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 3: Somewhere. 52 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 5: There's a stat about the It's like a stat that said, 53 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 5: like who am I? 54 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 6: And it gave a list. 55 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 5: Of stats that all the quarterbacks combined had what their 56 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 5: numbers were against the Jets. It was like thirty six 57 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 5: touchdowns to zero interceptions, like whatever, a thirteen and three record, 58 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 5: fourteen and three record. The guy would have won the 59 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 5: MVP if you could have just played against the Jets 60 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 5: every week. 61 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 6: It was pretty embarrassing. 62 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 5: Defensive head coach, no interceptions, playing man defense with like 63 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 5: fourth string cornerbacks. 64 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 6: It's it was fun fun to watch. I'm glad it's over. 65 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 7: Where does that equate to baseball? Where does that equate 66 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 7: to baseball? 67 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 3: Jet? 68 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 6: We talked about it this morning. 69 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 5: That exact example would be like having like Hia guys 70 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 5: come up to the big leagues and not bunt or 71 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 5: do anything and just tell to just go bang like 72 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 5: it's just not going to happen. It's not that they're 73 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 5: bad players, it's just they're not ready for it just yet. 74 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 3: But what is uh? 75 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 4: What was the game where the Jets blocked the field goal? 76 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: Was it the Bucks game and they thought they were 77 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 4: gonna win and Aaron Glenn ran down the sidelines and 78 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 4: then the guy and they baker. 79 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was oh man, I. 80 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 6: Feel you have to watch that one. 81 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 5: Nothing works out because we were still playing. 82 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 6: So it's fine, it's fine. I'm over it. 83 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 5: The season is long in the rear view now and 84 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 5: we're excited to look forward. 85 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: Good to tie this into baseball, Vinnie, do you think 86 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: that MLB fans would go nuts if a team made 87 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: the playoffs with a sub five hundred record like we 88 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: see in football. 89 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 6: Well, fans go nuts for anything. 90 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 5: When the one seeds make it to the World Series, 91 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 5: it's because they spend too much money and they buy 92 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 5: the wins. If a six seed makes it to the 93 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 5: World Series, it's because they didn't have a buye and 94 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 5: they were you know, they were continuing to play. So 95 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 5: it doesn't matter what you do, say or react to anything. 96 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 5: People are going to complain. So you just got to 97 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 5: keep moving forward and know that people are going to 98 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 5: complain no matter what. 99 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: Yes, they will find a way and actually embrace the 100 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: complain because it just means that they're passionate and they're fans. 101 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 6: Right, fanatic? Right? 102 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 5: Isn't that some the definition of fans fanatic? They just 103 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 5: go crazy for everything as they should. 104 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: Yes, well on that topic, I mean, obviously you're a 105 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: big deal in Kansas City and you love Kansas City. 106 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: But maybe you love Kansas City too much. Now I 107 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 1: think we have the video of this, so it sounded 108 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: like you were adopting a real football team temporarily and 109 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: then that didn't work out for you either. This is 110 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: you on FS one saying that you're officially a Chiefs fan, 111 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: and I was told that since you did that, they 112 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: went three and eight. We're not superstitious, We're not blaming 113 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: the Chiefs destruction on you, but is it disheartening to 114 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: adopt a new team that then falls apart? 115 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 5: So all you can do is go with the data 116 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 5: that has been provided to you, and me being a 117 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 5: fan of your team is bad news. I have supported 118 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 5: the Chiefs for years, gone to plenty of games, gone 119 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 5: to many of playoff games, but this was the first 120 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 5: year that I publicly, like on national TV, said I'm 121 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 5: all in on the Chiefs and this is what happens. 122 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 5: So I would not want me to root for your 123 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 5: football team basically publicly. So yeah, it's been tough. It's 124 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 5: been tough. I'd like to just see some winning football 125 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 5: for a team that I like, and it's gonna happen 126 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 5: one day. I'm going to keep the faith, and you know, 127 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 5: we just keep faith. 128 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 4: Two things, to get the priests that bust the field 129 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 4: for the Steelers last night to come to the Jets 130 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 4: and just bless their locker room maybe. 131 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 3: And second of all, can we show that clip again? 132 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 4: I want to know who has the worst look, you 133 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 4: or Nick Right in that video, because you have your look. 134 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 4: You're going for the Nick Right haircut and look right 135 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 4: there in this video, like what's happening there? 136 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 5: I wish I would have tied my hair up that day. 137 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 5: I didn't realize how to the side it looked. I 138 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 5: thought like when I left makeup, it was backed, and 139 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 5: then I guess I had shook my head or something 140 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 5: and it completely moved to the side. Not my best, 141 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 5: not my best to look. But but as you can see, 142 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 5: I cut my hair rectified the situation.

Now 371 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 4: can you get him to figure it out with Kansas 372 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 4: City please. 373 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 6: Uh yeah, we're working on it. So one. 374 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 5: I do believe he's playing on Team Italy. I think 375 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 5: it's been confirmedially, but he's playing. I've been working the 376 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 5: phones pretty heavy, so I'm laughing thinking about some of 377 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 5: the people that I've called and things that I've done 378 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 5: to try to get him on the team. 379 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 3: But it's, uh, can we can we get some? Can 380 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 3: we get? 381 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 5: Like there's a certain there's a there's a certain young 382 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 5: left fielder or right fielder for the Boston Red Sox 383 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 5: that I sent a voice memo to. I don't know 384 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 5: him at all, sent a nice voice memo to of 385 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 5: just describing the situation of him walking walking up to 386 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 5: the plate playing for Team Italy. 387 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 6: So we're still the phones. 388 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 3: Are we talking about a guy named Roman? 389 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 6: It's very Italian name. Yeah. 390 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 5: So it's going to be a very left handed hitter lineup. 391 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 5: So I'd imagine we will be seeing some a lot 392 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 5: of left handed pictures in the WBC. But we'll we'll 393 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 5: see what happens. Ned Coletti's putting together a cool team. 394 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 5: So he's working the phones all the time. I'm working 395 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 5: the phones all the time, and we're we're looking forward 396 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 5: to uh to breaking some hearts down in Houston. 397 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 6: That's the that's the that's the goal. 398 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 3: When do you play there? 399 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 6: Wait? 400 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 3: What do you know? Who do you guys play USA? 401 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 3: Down there? 402 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 6: And we do? 403 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 5: So? I think it's I'm on that car. Oh you 404 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 5: are so March six, seventh, ninth, and tenth, We've got 405 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 5: I want to say it's Brazil, the UK, United States, Mexico. 406 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 5: So I would imagine it's in the power rankings would 407 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 5: be USA, Mexico and then the three of us right there. Yeah, 408 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 5: I don't know how you would. I don't know how 409 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,719 Speaker 5: you would rank the three of us, but I'd imagine 410 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,679 Speaker 5: it's a top too heavy and then see what happens 411 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 5: with the other three and maybe we find a way 412 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 5: to do it again like we did in the last 413 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 5: in the last classic, and find a way to advance. 414 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 4: What was the voice memo that you left Roman? Like, 415 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 4: how does that go? How does that phone call go? 416 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 4: And then second, I want to know how did you 417 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 4: get Mike Piazza fire? That's my because you guys had 418 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 4: a good run of Mike Piazza is not coming back 419 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 4: as a manager. 420 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 5: Yeah, Blake, but Terra was on that staff. Blake was 421 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 5: basically the manager of that team. 422 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 3: Oh because Mike. 423 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 4: I saw Mike no long ago and he yelled at 424 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 4: me when I He's like, take it easy on my guy, Blake, 425 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 4: but Terra and I was like, I think he's great. 426 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 4: I don't know what you're talking about. So now that 427 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 4: you say that, now it makes sense why Mike defended 428 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 4: him so much. 429 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, Blake is the man. Piazza is the man too. 430 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 5: There was a lot of things that happened are in 431 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 5: the front office, so to speak, for Team Italy. So yeah, 432 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 5: some some things changed and and that's about it. 433 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 6: That's that's all I really know. 434 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 5: Some things changed and uh, and now it's a little 435 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 5: bit of a different dynamic. But we're you know, we're 436 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 5: really excited about having ned. We're really excited for Francisco 437 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 5: Savelli to be the manager. I believe Jorge Pasada is 438 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 5: on staff. Uh it's a he's not Italian, but he's 439 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 5: he's gonna be there for to help out. 440 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 6: So we are. 441 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 5: We're excited about the opportunityy to go compete with the best. 442 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: Make sure that you have a lead against Great Britain 443 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: before you get to the ninth do you know who 444 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: their closer is? 445 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 6: Yeah? Is he playing or what? 446 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 3: Oh? 447 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I haven't checked recently. 448 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 4: I'm just trying to figure out how our rold As 449 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 4: Chapman gets to Great Britain when he's from Cuba. 450 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 3: Like that doesn't that does somehow that doesn't make sense? 451 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 7: But tell him no, tell him no. Who's going to 452 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 7: be the one to tell him no? 453 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, nobody's nobody. He can play for USA, I think 454 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 6: if he wants. 455 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, Poppy, yeah exactly, just yeah, just bring him out 456 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 5: there in the ninth and he'll finish the game for you. Yeah, 457 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 5: we're going to try to hold a lead against the 458 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 5: UK especially and try to keep him out of the game. 459 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 6: That's that's a good plan. 460 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 2: Mm hmm exactly. Well, we're looking forward to it, dude. 461 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 1: Hey, one other Royals question for a we saw earlier 462 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: this offseason, Mike call Garcia picked up a nice extension. 463 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: Can you just tell the world a little bit more 464 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: about him? Of course, we're a baseball show, so you 465 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: got to mention probably not enough, but you know what's 466 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: it like watching him this past year? 467 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 6: Yeah? 468 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 5: Well, anybody that had played with him knew that that 469 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 5: was in there. I played with them like I played 470 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 5: with them in rookie ball and then in High A 471 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 5: and then a little bit in Triple A. So I 472 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 5: had seen it, you know, back since twenty nineteen. He 473 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 5: got all the tools. I mean, he's a because of 474 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 5: who our shortstop is, obviously we have one. I mean, 475 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 5: Mikel is an unbelievable shortstop too, so it's awesome to have. 476 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 5: I mean, I think it would be fair to say 477 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 5: we have the best left side in the league, not 478 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 5: to begrudge anybody else, but especially defensively. I mean, two 479 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 5: gold Glovers on one side of the field. That's pretty special. 480 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 5: So Mikel's coming into his own. He got that nice, 481 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 5: nice extension there, and he's going to be around for 482 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 5: a long time. I mean, you've got two guys anchoring 483 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 5: the left side of the left side of the enfield 484 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 5: that are each like twenty five twenty six years old. 485 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 5: So future in Kansas City is definitely bright with those guys. 486 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 5: And everybody's really happy for him because Mikel's the man. 487 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 5: He's been working so hard for so many years to 488 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 5: you know, try to get something like this and be 489 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 5: able to support his family better. And he was able 490 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 5: to do it, so we're pumped for him. I can't 491 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 5: wait to see I would imagine this is just going 492 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 5: to help him get better, So it's gonna be awesome. 493 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 4: By the way, well, there's three things I have for you. One, 494 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 4: next time I see you and I do a Royals game, 495 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,199 Speaker 4: don't big league me. I know you're watching ODU football 496 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 4: last time, but I mean you wouldn't even look up. 497 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 5: The Yeah versus Indiana, I would like to say Old 498 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 5: Dominion versus Indiana, and they took him to the wire 499 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 5: in the first half. 500 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 6: I don't know Indiana number one team in the country. 501 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 5: Sorry, sorry that I'm locked in on the Monarch. 502 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 3: I mean, who isn't. 503 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 4: I mean, you could have given me a thousand guesses 504 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 4: and I never would have got their nickname. So I'm 505 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 4: glad there's one Oduth. The other thing is, have they 506 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 4: had any extension talks with you? And then also, can 507 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 4: the Royals compete for the division with the Tigers and 508 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 4: the Guardians and of course the White Sox this year? 509 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 5: So I guess in order, yes, kind of not in 510 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 5: a few years. So no, I mean it depends on 511 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 5: how recently you're talking. But yes to an extent, but 512 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 5: not really, and then I think we can compete for 513 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,479 Speaker 5: the division. And obviously the goal going into the year 514 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 5: is that. I go back and forth on what the 515 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 5: goal for going into the season is other than to 516 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 5: win the World Series, because the goals to get into 517 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 5: the playoffs, right, I mean wine into the playoffs. No, 518 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 5: I'm saying like, no, I'm saying, like, obviously goal number 519 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 5: one win the World Series, but win the Winning the 520 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 5: division I think is really important. But I don't really 521 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 5: have any reason to say that it's that important because 522 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 5: you get into the playoffs anyway, So I guess the 523 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 5: buye is important, but just getting in is the most 524 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 5: important thing. But I think there's a lot of pride 525 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 5: in winning your division, and that's what we want to do. 526 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 5: We want to we want to go through this like 527 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 5: we don't really want to play spoiler. We want to 528 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 5: be on the other end of that where it's like, 529 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 5: you know, this is our division, we want it, We're 530 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 5: going to take it. I've never been in a position 531 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 5: to win the division. I'd like to be in that spot. 532 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 5: So in twenty four I think we had tied for 533 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 5: the lead in the division at the end of August 534 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 5: and then went on a little bit of a cold 535 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 5: streak and you know we're out of it. So this 536 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 5: year we went eighty two and eighty, but you know, 537 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 5: we kind of got eliminated with a week to go 538 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 5: and then it was just playing for pride at that point. 539 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 5: So I think for us, goal one win the World 540 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 5: Series and then goal to find a way into the playoffs. 541 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 5: But I think like there's a secondary goal in there, 542 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 5: which is like, you know, we want to be the 543 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 5: Kings of the Central We want to go through the year, 544 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 5: win the division, be able to celebrate that, and then 545 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 5: you know, move towards the next goal of winning the 546 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 5: World Series. So I think that I think that's just 547 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 5: a mindset of we just want to go in and 548 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 5: we want to be consistent every day, do what we 549 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 5: need to do, and you know, look up at the 550 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 5: end of the year and we're right where we want 551 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 5: to be. 552 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 7: Yeah, you're not playing the season right now. What are 553 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 7: the Royals need to do? What are the Royals need? 554 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 7: Do we hear all the well, you know, JJ Piccolos, 555 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 7: they need to add slug after the top four in 556 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 7: your lineup. You know, it was a little bit of 557 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 7: a downfall. How do you approach that question when asked like, 558 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 7: what do you need to add because you guys added 559 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 7: into you last year but you lost singer talk is hey, 560 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 7: you know what, maybe you could lose another picture starting 561 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 7: picture if you added some slug. Do you look at 562 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 7: it that way? Do you look at it and go, Man, 563 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 7: I love every one of my teammates, but I would 564 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 7: love to see another dude that hits thirty plus like me. 565 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 5: Well, I think publicly, and it's what I'm about to say, 566 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 5: is I just work here. 567 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 6: Hey, I know where I'm going to be in the lineup. 568 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 6: I know I'm going to do my job every. 569 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 5: Day, and I know that I need to go beee 570 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,719 Speaker 5: a good baseball player. But I think you look at 571 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 5: it and you're like, okay, where where are ways that 572 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 5: we can improve? And I think every single human being 573 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 5: alive has thoughts on where a team or an organization 574 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 5: can improve, and it just you try to find the 575 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 5: right mix. It was clear that we were target being 576 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 5: outfield at the end of the season with the moves 577 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 5: that we've made with is it Isaac Collins? Is that 578 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 5: how you say his first name? Okay, so it is 579 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 5: just Isaac. I heard a different pronunciation of his first name, 580 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 5: and I had no idea. I think that's what I heard, 581 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 5: was like, like, I'm. 582 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: It's greatest like parades, No Isaac Collins, Layne Thomas, Lane Thomas, 583 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: not letting Wayne Thomas. 584 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right, thank you. 585 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 5: Oh and I and I also think and I didn't 586 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 5: answer this question, and I'm sorry, but yes we are. 587 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:41,239 Speaker 5: We are working with Jack to unlock everything of his 588 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 5: because it's some of the like some of the power 589 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 5: that that guy has is. 590 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 6: It's ridiculous. 591 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 5: So it's kind of a funny spot for me because 592 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 5: I'm grooming my replacement so to speak, as the as 593 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 5: the next few years go on.

But I think I'd rather have 599 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 5: that at this point of somebody's career than under aggression. 600 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 5: He's ready to go up there every time. He's not scared. 601 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 5: So for him, it's just it's honing in on the 602 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 5: strike zone, honing in on the right, you know, picking 603 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 5: your spots to try to do damage versus doing the 604 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 5: job in front of you, and just kind of just 605 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 5: kind of growing him as a player because he's got 606 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 5: all the tools.

So 690 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 6: I like off. 691 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 5: But I don't love golf, uh So I don't get 692 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 5: a lot of rotation in unless I'm hitting. 693 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 6: So I just like doing it. 694 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 5: So this I probably started hitting two weeks or so 695 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 5: before Thanksgiving this year of just kind of getting in 696 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 5: there moving around a little bit. But my body feels 697 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 5: phenomenal right now, which I'm happy with. So it's uh, 698 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 5: it's It's been a slower but longer build for me 699 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 5: this year, and a lot of that has to do 700 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 5: with the WBC, and I sucked mys WBC, and I 701 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 5: prefer to be a little bit better this time. So 702 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 5: I'm trying to figure out how to not be dogshit 703 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 5: the first month of the season, and so I'm hoping 704 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 5: maybe hitting a little earlier will help my timing a 705 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 5: little bit, so then I could be a tick better 706 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 5: in the month of this year. Look up my stats 707 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 5: in the Dominican Republic. I don't think they'll have me back. 708 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 5: So I got kicked off that island. I got kicked 709 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 5: off that island so quick. So if I could just 710 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 5: be in July and August all the time, I'm I'd 711 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 5: be a pretty good player. Sadly, there are more months 712 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 5: to the season than that, and we're and we're working 713 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 5: on reckfining those issues and making it better all year round. 714 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 3: Just do what I did, No hit until the spring training. 715 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 4: Just go the whole off season, don't pick up a 716 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 4: bat until the first day of spring training. 717 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 3: I did it many times. Those were some of my 718 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 3: best years. 719 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 5: Maybe maybe one day. I don't think I'm mentally tough 720 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 5: enough to do anything like that. So I gotta I 721 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 5: gotta feel somewhat good walking into spring. 722 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 4: No, it made me feel better final season because I go. 723 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 2: No. 724 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 4: I would go up there in my first spring swing 725 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 4: and spring training, I'd be like, well, let's see how 726 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 4: the season is gonna go. 727 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 3: This year, I rolled it over and I was like, shit. 728 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 2: AJ was living a movie.
