But before we 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.440 get into all the interviews, how was the All Star 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:55.400 Game experience? I know you're out there with the guys 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:56.640 at Foul looked fun. 0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.120 Yeah, it was great. Good to be with you guys. 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.800 Get your comments and quotquestions and concerns into the chat 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:04.800 right here on a live episode of Dodgers Territory. 0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.160 It was a lot of fun. I have to say, 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.759 Philadelphia showed out. It was a great experience. 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.800 The fans were awesome obviously, all thirty teams being represented 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.440 in terms of the fan base. Shout out also to 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.199 Major League Baseball and Fox Sports and MLB on Fox 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.480 because the stuff that happened during the All Star Game 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.200 with the center field gates opening and the little kids 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:28.280 riding out on their bicycles and going up against the 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.040 you know, standing next to their player in their respective position, 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.119 was so cool and kind of an homage to the Sandlot, 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.319 right that one scene in the Sandlot where it's the 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.840 fourth of July and it's the only game in town 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.560 and you're playing baseball in your backyard on the backfield, 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.840 you know, on a dirty, dusty field. You grab your 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.320 glove and you just go. It was just a cool experience, 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.800 great to see. Obviously all of the Dodgers represented. Sad 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.960 not to see show Heyo Tani. We understand it, but 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:55.760 we would have wished that he was there. All the 0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.520 fans would have wished to be able to see show 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:58.120 Heyo Tani. 0:01:58.200 --> 0:01:59.040 But it was great. 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.920 I loved catching up with Dave and catching up with 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.520 the guys and talking to Justin Robleski, who you know, 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.320 had to have a couple of things happened for him 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.720 to get in there, but certainly well earned. And congratulations 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.400 to every single person that was there, and congrats to 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.040 Jordan Walker, a guy that has had his struggles and 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.400 his adversity. It's making seven hundred and ninety nine thousand 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.520 dollars this year, which listen, I'll take it. I'll take 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.360 it in a heartbeat, right, But the one winning swing 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.800 of the bat made him a million dollars. 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.720 So overall, really cool to be there. 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:32.320 You know, all eyes of the baseball world were on Philadelphia, 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.519 and it was a really nice, nice week. 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.040 Yeah, if somebody has seven hundred and ninety nine thousand 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.160 dollars to just spare, I will take it. 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.680 It would definitely change a few things. Don't worry. I 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:44.720 won't go big leagues. 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.359 I might wear like shades during the show just to 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:51.040 show that I'm better than everybody, but still we would 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:52.160 still be doing content. 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:53.440 Yeah. All Star Game was. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:55.240 All right. 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.120 I'm in a position where I'm not paid by anybody 0:02:58.160 --> 0:02:59.440 who put the All Star Game on. 0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.400 Not to say that you are, obviously you know I don't. 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.120 I don't work for Fox, and I don't work exactly. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.960 You're you're gonna have critiques overall boring game, and I 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.520 talked about this on my All Dodgers channel with Jeff Spiegel, 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.720 who decided to just run away and go on vacation. 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:18.400 But anyways, uh, just a dull game, and really the 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.280 state of baseball is pitchers are so much better than hitters. 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.720 If I just were focusing on that, like from what 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.079 you're saying, you know, the the pomp and circumstance and 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:28.720 the sandlot. 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:30.120 For me, it's it's a lot. 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:32.840 I understand Fox and MLB they're trying to take advantage 0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:34.160 of a lot of eyes on them. 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.840 I think they overdo some of the stuff. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.360 Some of the I like to call it propaganda because 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.480 it kind of is different things going on, Like can 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.280 we focus on the game, focus on the players. 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:44.320 But I understand the why. 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:49.560 Some of the interviews were good sometimes sometimes maybe good, 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.880 sometimes maybe shit. It's still good to get a perspective 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:54.680 from the players while they're out there. 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:56.040 Playing a meaningless game. 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.720 But that much said, yeah, just a boring game because 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.560 they're wasn't a lot of action pictures. 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:03.640 A lot of are so much better. 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.760 The elite pitchers are so much better than elite hitters 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:07.200 right now. 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:08.920 Yeah, I mean I think so. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.160 I mean, the National League just kind of looked flat, right, 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.960 how about shout out to old friend Cody Bellinger the 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.400 two run single that put the first two runs on 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.480 the board for the American League. It kind of proved 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.400 to be all they needed in terms of offense because 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.880 the National League was just not good offensively. But to 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.360 your point, the starting pitchers were good, but let's focus 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.320 on the positive as far as that is concerned. I 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:31.839 don't know if we're going to do it in order 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:35.560 as far as that, But Justin Rableski, I mean, it 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.919 was his birthday, first time All Star, the shark on 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.760 the inside of his red star carpet jacket, so I 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:46.320 think he's really enjoying that moniker given to him by 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.720 Pedro Martinez and strikes out the side on his b day. 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.400 So good day for him and good week for him, 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.200 and obviously a good season for him. But I really enjoyed, 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.680 you know, And as far as our guys were concerned, right, 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:01.520 Justin Robleski striking out the side Freeman a really nice 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:05.559 defensive play. I was actually very surprised at how long 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.240 Dave kept our guys in. Yeah, I thought it was 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.360 going to be you know, like maybe uninning or two, 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:11.640 but I looked up and it was still, you know, 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.600 the fourth inning, and these guys are still out there, 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.960 Max Munsey, Freddie Freeman, those types of things. So I 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:18.960 was a little surprised on the length. But you know what, 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:20.640 Dave Roberts is the manager, he's. 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.919 Allowed to do that. I think it's his fifth. 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.560 Time managing the All Star Game. That shows you a lot, 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.400 tells you a lot about about your manager. Right, If 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:29.960 you can manage the All Star Game, it's because you 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.760 took your team to the World Series the year prior, 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:32.840 So he's doing something right. 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.840 Yeah, well, well we'll hear from Dave a little bit 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.640 later because you obviously asked him about that. 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.120 The fact that he's he's. 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.920 Got a lot of you know, All Star Game managing 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.719 credentials under his belt, now that's usually a good sign 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.719 for a team. Going back to the Ribleski side of things, 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:52.240 I didn't prep the tweet to post it, but of 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:56.440 Dodgers All Star pitchers with he is third, now I 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.040 think is the specifically Dodgers Dodgers All Star pitchers, I 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:04.040 have more strikeouts in a single All Star Game. Don Drysdale, 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:09.200 Fernando Vealezuela, Justin Ribleski, exactly the three names you'd expect 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.880 to be uttered in the same sentence. Don Drysdell was 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:16.640 in fifty nine, Fernando in nineteen eighty six. But that's 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.240 a pretty cool lore to etch yourself along. And I 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:24.000 mean that is not indicative of the growth and maturity, 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.600 and not so much maturity, but just the growth of 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.120 the shark as we call him robo if you're nasty 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.719 as well, just showing off the growth of where this 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.760 kid has come this year from being a guy that 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.839 I wasn't sure was the starting material to be in well, 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:42.440 he was pitching in relief. 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.960 That's maybe why he was so dominant. But it's really cool. 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:46.480 Five strikeouts is really cool. 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.599 It is, and I'm happy for him and proud of him. Again. 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.279 We talked about it when he was on our show 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.480 a couple of weeks ago, about the Dodgers giving him 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.400 the ability to just be who he was and trying 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.719 not to make him into something that he isn't, and he's. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:06:59.719 Very well aware of who he is. 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:04.839 When we were doing media availability, the pitching Ninja was 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.359 next to me getting ready to ask questions and you 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.000 could just see Rableski's eyes light up when they were 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.320 going to start talking about tinkering of the pitches and 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.480 all of the different grips and then you know, armslot 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.040 and and all of that stuff too. So he enjoys 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.520 the craft of pitching. He's not a thrower, he's a pitcher. 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.120 He enjoys the science behind everything. I know that gets 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.120 you too, plant you love that stuff. So Justin's really 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.880 evolved into a very I talked to Dave about this, 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.400 the unheralded ace of this staff. On a staff that 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.520 has the names and the likes of the oh she 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.520 you know, Yoshiobu Yamamotos and the Shoheo Tanis and the 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.960 Blake Snells and the Tyler Glasnows and this, that and 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.400 the other thing. He's really emerged as somebody that has 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:46.480 absolutely posted every fifth or sixth day to put this 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.760 upon the schedule ten and two. With the sub three era, 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:50.920 you can't beat. 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.040 That, No, not even slightly. 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:55.760 I wish we would have a little more offense from 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.040 our boys. Good to see Muncie back in there. I 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.760 just love the narrative of monthsy all around, you know 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:05.520 the game. And again we'll hear more from that, but 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:09.880 all in all, again doll game, boring game. Looking forward 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:12.520 to the second half of the season kicking off. We'll 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.720 talk about Dodgers Yankees a little bit later in the show, 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.600 but a little bit of a gauntlet here if we're 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.360 gonna talk about this for just a minute, little bit 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:22.600 of a gauntlet here to enter the second half. You 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.880 got Yankees, you got Phillies, who obviously we have I 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:29.680 don't say fears about but Phillies are always ready to win. 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.200 And then the New York Mets. That's a tough you know, 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.719 little East Coast roadie. We already saw a lot of 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.959 the Dodgers flying out there, including Will Smith where people 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.120 are looking at how he's kind of bending his neck 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:42.240 back to take this photo. 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:43.640 Well, what's going on with that neck? 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:46.720 But Glass now is also on the plane, you know, 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.120 some of the guys getting healthier. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:49.840 What are you looking forward to? 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:52.520 Just you know, quickly before we take a break, and 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.760 then hear from all the players and Doc, are you 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.520 looking forward to like immediately in the second half? 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.280 Well, I think the biggest thing is your thank if 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.600 you're Doc and Max Munsey and Freddie Freeman and Jessterra 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.000 Blisky and Andy Pajas and yo Yoshiobayamamoto because you're already 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.040 in Philadelphia, so you're already on the East coast, right, 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:10.160 So those guys are like, whoa. 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.400 It's quick, quick, forty five minute flight. That's great. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.680 What I'm looking forward into the second half is just 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:16.640 who are we getting back? Right? We are three weeks 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.440 away or whatever it is from the trade deadline, and 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.079 we've talked about it at length. How we're going to 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.559 get guys back off of the il. That's almost as 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.880 good as just getting these guys off the free agent 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.640 market or the trade market. Obviously not free agent in 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:29.839 the middle of the season, but you guys know what 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.600 I'm trying to say. The point is we're getting some 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.400 reinforcements coming, and I just want them to start the 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.960 season strong, but moreover, just be healthy. I mean, they 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.680 can continue to toe the line the way that they're 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.720 towing it. They have an eleven and a half game lead. 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.160 I don't need them to do anything differently in the 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.400 first half or the second half than they did in 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.280 the first half, with the exception of maybe more of 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.240 the passing the baton, getting more guys on base, getting 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.400 you know, moving guys over a little bit more offense 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:58.400 because it does seem to come offensively feast or famine. 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.240 And while the post is going to be very much 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:05.040 driven by starting pitching and defense, you can't just rely, 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.800 in my opinion, to win postseason games on the long ball. 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:09.000 So I'd like to. 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.160 See more consistent offense up and down the lineup. We 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:13.559 talked about it our X factor for the second season, 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.160 or who we want more out of. For me, it's 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.400 ta Oscar Hernandez And what's Kik going to be like 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:19.480 when it matters October? 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.920 Okay, you listen to this show. 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.199 I'm proud of you. I don't even listen to the show. 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:26.280 How dare you? 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:27.880 How daring? 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:31.679 It is funny that you know I did mention that 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.360 kind of in passing that it's funny. We think about 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.080 how important all the pitchers are, the guys come back 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.839 from the injured list, but that offense, it's leaving a 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:43.160 little bit to be desired. Guys, before we throw to 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.600 a break, we also want to announce on behalf of 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.920 the network.

I'm gonna come 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:36.800 out of the pen and look at you now, an 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:38.880 All Star? What does that mean to you? If you've 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.200 even had a moment to reflect on how you got here? 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.839 Yeah, it means a lot obviously, Like just getting the 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.160 chance to be here amongst you know, the best in 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:50.120 the game is super cool. And that's always been something 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.280 I've dreamed of and something I've wanted to do. So 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.200 I'm super cool to get that opportunity but yeah, it 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.960 means the world. It's super cool. It's like I said, 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.240 it's just I'm just super blessed to be here, and 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.240 like I said, I'm going to try to enjoy every 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:03.719 second of it. 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.160 And in two sub three ra you've been one of 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.640 the most consistent starters every time you've taken the ball 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.240 in a rotation that has the likes the names of 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.400 the Otanis of the World, the Yamamotives of the world. 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:14.319 Blake snails on his. 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:17.000 Way back, hopefully Tyler as well. What does that mean 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.240 to you to be you know, maybe under the under 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:20.280 the radar, this team's eight. 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:21.960 It's uh, it's fun. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.520 It's fun to be a part of this team. And 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:25.400 I think a lot of the reason that that I've 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.680 pitched to all this year is just learning from those guys, 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:30.920 even if it hasn't been through asking them direct conversation, 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:33.320 direct questions or whatever, just kind of watching how they 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:37.640 prepare and watching how they pitch and obviously understanding, you know, 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.560 my like watching it through the scope of what I'm 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.240 good at and how I can take what they do 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:44.600 to my game. And you know, it's obviously super cool 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.360 to to be performing in a in a rotation like 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.440 this because at the start of the year, you know, 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.320 there's talks about me not being a starter, maybe me 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.080 not being good enough to be a starter, maybe me 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.960 not me being better bullpen arm and all this stuff. 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:58.960 So it's been super fun to kind of for some 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.400 of those people wrong and also just go out there 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.280 and just get a consistent run as a starter. And 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.600 that's something I wanted and I voiced out this off 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:07.680 season and getting the chance. 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:08.360 To do it's been super cool. 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.680 Last question for me, pinching Ninja jump in here, Rob, 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:16.040 But you've talked about my game, and one thing about 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.080 the Dodgers is that they allow you to be who 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.280 you are and not try to make you or turn 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.280 you into something that you're not. How much has that 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.760 allowed you to kind of prove the doubters wrong? 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.480 Yeah, I think you know, they've helped me a lot 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:32.160 just understanding why I'm good, what I do that that 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.400 makes me good, and then it's just a matter of 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:37.640 you know, I'm a guy. Every pitcher is a guy 0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:39.920 that wants to tinker and wants to change things and 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.480 wants to get a little better, and wants to create 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.720 a new pitch and do this and that and just 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.960 trying to keep me in the guardrails. And they know 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:47.240 that I can do a lot of things at the 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.040 baseball but keeping me within the guardrails of what is 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.280 good and what is what makes sense for me and 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.440 my delivery, and that's been super helpful. 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.080 Really appreciate Robo there. What's cool about this? 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.680 Obviously we talked to him not terribly long ago, asked 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.360 him about the All Star Game, kind of what that 0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:08.280 would mean to him. This then, obviously he's kind of 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:09.960 a little you don't want to You don't know if 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:11.320 you're gonna make the All Star Game, so you're not 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.160 going to be being like, yeah, this would He was 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:16.080 sort of this would mean so much to me. But 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:20.000 ultimately this is like the realization all of this, the work, 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:21.240 the effort, the growth. 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:25.440 This nod is a handshake. 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.480 It's a pat on the back, like you did it, buddy, 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:29.440 Now keep going like you figured it out. 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:31.840 You did. You have reached your. 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:34.600 Kind of childhood goal, your lifelong goal to be a 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.080 major league starter, maybe be an All Star. He's already 0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:39.800 a World Series champion. But this is a dude who 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.320 persevered and you know. 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.960 Is an All Star. You can't take that away. It's 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.480 really cool just the growth of this. Dude. 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:51.400 Yeah, you'd sit around and you're walking into the dugout 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.400 or the clubhouse that you're just kind of looking around 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:53.840 you You're like. 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:54.560 Oh my gosh. 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:57.840 You know, there are so many unbelievable people here. The 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.920 game's best, whatever the game's best has to offer, it's 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:02.680 all in the same place. And you could say, you 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.560 know what, I'm there. I'm just I'm as much of 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.840 an All Star as these guys are. And Dave Roberts 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.000 talks about it, and we're going to run the interview 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.320 here that when I caught up with Dave on Monday 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:16.399 at VP about what Justin Orbleski has gone through. You 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:19.360 mentioned the adversity and those types of things, and I'm 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.400 sure the doubt that people had about him, maybe doubt 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.200
