1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: And I want to be the best version of myself

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: because like going deep in the playoffs, playing that type

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: of baseball is addictive.

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 2: All right, Ken, Rosenthal, Ken, I thought you were going

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 2: to be in the car. You really can clone yourself.

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: There are two of you. I've known it for quite

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 2: some time. There's no way someone can get as much

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: work done as you are.

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 3: This is your clone.

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 4: No, it's actually me Writt.

11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 5: And what I thought would happened was being in LA

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 5: that it would take forever to get to the hotel.

13
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 4: But I got to the hotel. So we're good, awesome

14
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 4: for joining us. Yes, yehick this.

15
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 3: Week real quick?

16
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: Can a previous argument between Kratzy and I. Do you

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: think MLB umpires have a good gig?

18
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 3: I say yes.

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: Krat said no because they don't get on private jets,

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: which is such a player thing to say.

21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 4: It's a hard it's a stressful gig.

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 5: I know they are paid reasonably well, not like players,

23
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 5: but paid reasonably well.

24
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 4: But I don't know that I would want that job.

25
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 4: To me.

26
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 5: That's a no win job. No one ever says, hey,

27
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 5: great job. It happens rarely now, but not for me,

28
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 5: And it has nothing to do with a private jet

29
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 5: versus commercial. We're all accustomed to, well not players, but

30
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 5: most of us are accustomed to flying commercial.

31
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 4: And that's fine. It's the gig itself that's hard.

32
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 6: Ken, you are in La Yankees coming into town. What

33
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 6: a beautiful time.

34
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 7: It is a renowned rivalry.

35
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 6: You talked a little bit about the Yankees and how

36
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 6: they had a couple needs in the offseason, what they

37
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 6: wanted to prove, especially you know, the way they hit

38
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 6: against left handing pitching. Talk a little bit about that,

39
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 6: and talk a little about, you know, on an other hand,

40
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 6: about athletes and how athletic they are. And they want

41
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 6: to move him to the middle of the field. Talk

42
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 6: about Jazz Chishen. Why are they making him go to

43
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 6: third base? And rehabit tim it all right?

44
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, left handed pitching. That is interesting.

45
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 5: You would think that last year, as good as their

46
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 5: offense was, they'd be good against lefties, but they really weren't.

47
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 5: Twelfth in the league in ops against lefties, and they

48
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 5: brought in gold Schmidt with the idea that he would help.

49
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 5: Now it turns out Bellinger, left handed hitter, is hitting

50
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 5: lefties two and Aaron Judge is ridiculous against lefties.

51
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 4: His OPS is something like one.

52
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 5: Point six to zero right now, So they are doing

53
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 5: a better job against lefties. And that was one of

54
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 5: the things that they came out of the World Series

55
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 5: last year thinking, Okay, we need to fix that. We

56
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 5: need to get more athletic, we need to get more

57
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 5: strikeouts out of the bullpen. And they really have accomplished

58
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 5: a lot of this, even while losing Won Soto, even

59
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 5: while losing Garrett Cole.

60
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 4: Now, as for Jazz, it seems.

61
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 5: To me that when you have a player like him

62
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 5: who is athletic, you want him in the middle of

63
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 5: the diamond. That's generally where the best athletes play, in

64
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 5: the middle of the diamond.

65
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 4: No disrespect Todd.

66
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 5: But in the Yankees case, DJ Lemayhew is comfortable at second,

67
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 5: and they know Jazz can play third because he did

68
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 5: that last year and a pretty good job of it

69
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 5: as well. So he is on his rehab assignment playing

70
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 5: third base. The expectation is that he will be their

71
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 5: third basement.

72
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: When he comes back, and one of the thinking.

73
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 5: Or part of the thinking here is that they don't

74
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 5: know if they'll be able to trade for a third basement.

75
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 5: They may only be able to trade for a second basement.

76
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 5: So if DJ Lemayhew doesn't pan out because of course

77
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 5: he hasn't played much in the last couple of years,

78
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 5: and they want to get a second basement, then they

79
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 5: can keep Jazz at third. This just increases the versatility.

80
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 5: They can go any number of ways.

81
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 8: This is obviously the matchup of the Dodgers getting drunk

82
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 8: after they won and talking on Mookie Betts's podcast as

83
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 8: a writer, when you go in, do you go in

84
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 8: and you're like, all right, normally I have one microphone

85
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 8: that I'm recording stuff on. I'm gonna take two, or

86
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 8: do you feel like this is something that is completely

87
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 8: under the bridge, like water under the bridge. Nobody's even

88
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 8: going to really bring it up from a player's standpoint.

89
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 5: I don't expect to hear anything about that. And Chris Taylor,

90
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 5: of all people, is maybe the most mild mattered guy

91
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 5: in the sport, so for him to say what he

92
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 5: did was really surprising.

93
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 4: And maybe they were a little bit enhanced chemically at

94
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 4: the time. I'm not meaning steroids, I'm talking about alcohol.

95
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 5: So I just don't expect there to be much of

96
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 5: that this weekend. It's not even JUNI yet, actually it

97
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 5: will be by the time the series is over, and

98
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 5: it's early in the season. This is a regular season series.

99
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 5: As for bad blood or anything like that, Judge put

100
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 5: it best. He said, listen, they beat us, It beat us.

101
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 5: Just say what you want. And whether the Yankees have

102
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 5: long memories about it, that shouldn't be what they're worried about.

103
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 5: They should be worried about playing to the best of

104
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 5: their abilities, which is.

105
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 4: Something they did not do in the World Series.

106
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: Ken you head in your notes column to the other

107
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: day that Seattle could be an interesting team to watch

108
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 2: at the deadline, and they have the games best farm system.

109
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: According to Keith Ball.

110
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 2: Jerry Depoto, as we know, has it in him to

111
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: be very aggressive.

112
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 3: What do you kind of see them doing?

113
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: I know it's still early, but we are kind of

114
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: getting to the point where teams are drilling down and

115
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: underlying names and they're making phone calls. What could you

116
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: see Seattle realistically doing with a lot of that prospect capital.

117
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 5: They seem to be with one team that has a

118
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 5: great needed first base. I believe they're twenty ninth in

119
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 5: the league at ops in first base or twenty fifth.

120
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 4: Something like that. It's not good. It's down there, so

121
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:33,239
Speaker 4: that could.

122
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 5: Be one area that they need to address or try

123
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 5: to address. Right field is another. That they have Luke

124
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 5: Raley coming back and maybe Victor Robust toward the.

125
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 4: End of the season.

126
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 5: They still could use more offense, and their pitching is

127
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 5: getting healthier now.

128
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 4: Kirby's back not consistent yet, Logan Gilbert working his way back.

129
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 5: Bryce Miller will join them, so I can see them

130
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 5: going out and getting a first basement or a corner outfielder.

131
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 4: I don't know that they will need to.

132
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,559
Speaker 5: Trade one of their best prospects for that kind of player.

133
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 5: Depends who it is, of course. But the reason I

134
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 5: wrote the item I did today was because they do have,

135
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 5: as you said, Britt, this amazing group of prospects.

136
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 4: Really many of them are middle infielders, so.

137
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 5: If they wanted to trade one of them, they could

138
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 5: probably get something pretty good. And I thought, well, the Mariners,

139
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 5: they don't spend much money, maybe they won't want to

140
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 5: trade prospects.

141
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 7: But no.

142
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 5: My understanding is they've done this before. They did it

143
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 5: to get Louise Castillo, and they did it to.

144
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: Get Randy a Rose Arena. They will not be afraid

145
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 4: to do it again.

146
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 9: Krats, my pup was picky, not anymore with Spot and

147
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 9: Tango unkibble, and it is about forty percent less expensive

148
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 9: than frozen food. So we're saving in the wallet and

149
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 9: we're making our pups happier.

150
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 8: Let's go apples to apples. I'm not cheap, but I

151
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 8: don't want to waste my money on something that's good

152
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 8: for my dog. This is perfect.

153
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 9: Yeah, they are very excited, both Bella Crats his pupp

154
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 9: and Penelope, my little pupp For Spot and Tango, you

155
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 9: can get your pup excited too, and there's no more

156
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 9: guessing how much to feed your dog either. Spotan Tango

157
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 9: creates a custom plan based on your dog's age, weight, breed,

158
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 9: and activity level. It's a nice little survey. So upgrade

159
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,080

164
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 8: Talking about trades, I want to go back to the

165
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 8: Dodgers and Dalton Rushing. We talked about it. When they

166
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 8: called him up, I felt like it was a bad move.

167
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 8: Scott felt like it was a good move to replace

168
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 8: Barns with Rushing. But to me, you have a prospect

169
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 8: in the minor leagues not playing, and now he's up

170
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 8: in the big leagues and he's hit a small sample

171
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 8: size two point fifty.

172
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 7: Did you do you.

173
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 8: Believe that there's a possibility that the call up kind

174
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 8: of shows hey will trade you a big leaguer instead

175
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 8: of just a prospect, and that could have been part

176
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 8: of the reason why they brought Dalton Rushing up.

177
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 5: I don't believe it is Eric after asking some people

178
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 5: about this, it's kind of an easy interpretation, a logical

179
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 5: interpretation to think, just what you said, this guy's going

180
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 5: to be their trade piece. But they designed their team

181
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 5: so they would not need to overpay at the deadline.

182
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 5: So they're not going to trade Dalton Rushing for a

183
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 5: one year starting pitcher, even a two year starting pitcher.

184
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 5: They're not going to trade in for a position player

185
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 5: of any kind unless it's somewhat of comparable service and ability.

186
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 5: And the whole thing is they don't expect to need

187
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 5: starting pitchers or position players. They need a right hand reliever,

188
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 5: and they got one yesterday and Alexis Das and that

189
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: can be an ongoing thing.

190
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: We'll see where they end up with that. But Rushing,

191
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: in their.

192
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 5: View, is a guy who is going to give them

193
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 5: the ability to rest Will Smith, who has had trouble

194
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 5: in the second half the last couple of years.

195
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 4: He's been really good again in the first half.

196
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 5: Now they can rest in more. Rushing has an offensive

197
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 5: capability that most catchers don't have quite frankly, and next year,

198
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 5: if Michael Confordo leaves as a free agent, they can

199
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 5: maybe even put Rushing in left field, though they'll be

200
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 5: reluctant to give up on him as a catcher. So

201
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 5: I don't see him getting traded, and if anything, he

202
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 5: is going to be part of their teams going forward.

203
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 6: I want to ask a little about prospects. Now, it's

204
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 6: not a prospects. He's been around for a long time,

205
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 6: Craig Kimberl. He has a one point five for ERA

206
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 6: and triple A. You know, there's been word about David

207
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 6: Robertson too as well, maybe going to a team. Is

208
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 6: there anybody looking for a reliever? I know there's a

209
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 6: bunch of teams out there. I mean, I feel like

210
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 6: he could fit anywhere right now with that kind of er.

211
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 6: I know it's triple A, but think about giving this

212
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 6: guy a shot. You never know what can happen.

213
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 5: There are teams looking for relievers, and Arizona comes immediately

214
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 5: to mind, and there are others as well.

215
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 4: Even Atlanta could use some bullpen help. But for whatever reason,

216
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 4: no team has come for Kimberle yet. And I don't

217
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 4: know what his underlying metrics look like.

218
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 5: Maybe they're not good enough for teams the way they

219
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 5: are evaluating him right now, but he is succeeding.

220
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 4: A triple A.

221
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 5: And for all those people out there, I know what

222
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 5: they're thinking, Oh, Greg Gimble, he's washed up. He was

223
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 5: really good in the first half last year, and I

224
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 5: don't know if it was over use or what.

225
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 4: He did collapse in the second half.

226
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 5: The Oriols did release him, but he kind of proved

227
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 5: in the first half he could still be a high

228
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 5: quality reliever.

229
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 4: So I would expect at some point some.

230
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 5: Team is going to contact his camp and say, listen,

231
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 5: we're ready to bring him to the big leagues right now.

232
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 5: And at that point, because he has a rolling opt out,

233
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 5: the Braves will have the ability either to bring him

234
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 5: to the majors or to let him go.

235
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 4: And at some point I would think that's going to happen.

236
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd like to see him pitch again.

237
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: Hopefully he'll get another chance for relievers are so sad,

238
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. Ken, Thank you so much

239
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: for the time. Have fun of the series. Sure to

240
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 2: be a good one. A big, huge, huge, huge series

241
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: Red Krats. We can't say it enough, huge huge series.

242
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: Dodger Tankies, Ken Rosenthal. I'm assuming you have this Saturday.

243
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 4: Game, Ken, we do, Britt, Yes.

244
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, Saturday Fox game.

245
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 4: Awesome.

Speaker 3: Thanks so much, Ken, have a good rest of your weekend.

247
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 4: Thanks Britt.

248
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Found Territory, Pete Alonso, bridgerol and Aircrafts.

249
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: Tod Frazer here with you, Pete. Where are you?

250
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm in my backyard, so I'm gonna be right after this.

251
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be heading in the yard.

252
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 3: Awesome.

253
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 2: Thanks for taking some time. That looks like a nice,

254
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 2: like serene little yard you got going on there.

255
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: Thanks for saying for us. We really appreciate it.

256
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's really nice. So it's good. I mean,

257
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: it's it's great vibes, and we actually have a sunny

258
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: day today. The weather's been very subpar in the Northeast

259
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: this spring, so we're really excited that, right. I'm I'm

260
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: personally excited that we actually have sun today.

261
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 3: Yes, I feel that, Pete.

262
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: It's been brutal here in the Mid Atlantic as well, Pete,

263
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 2: I want to I want to get right to it.

264
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: It feels like, obviously you had such a huge start

265
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: to the season and the Mets did as well. It

266
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: feels like some of the vibes from last year, where

267
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: you know, you kind of saw the culture and the

268
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: turnaround and how much fun you guys were having down

269
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: the stretch, it feels like a lot of that has

270
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: kind of carried over to this season. I mean, is

271
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: that is that an accurate read by me? Like when

272
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: you look at this team that like really seemed to

273
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: pull for each other last year, it feels like Carlos

274
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: Mendoza has done a great job and kind of and

275
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: the players as well, and recreating that because it would

276
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: have been really easy with some of those injuries you

277
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: guys had early on to have a rough start again,

278
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 2: but you guys came out of the gate really strong.

279
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: Well to our core. With this group of guys, I

280
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: think we're just a resilient bunch and for us, we

281
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 1: know what it takes too. Kind of we've done a

282
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: great job at understanding our assignment every single day because

283
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: over the course of the season, what we don't want

284
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: to happen, want to let happen is complacency kind of

285
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: set in. So like last year, all of us were

286
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: kind of a little like, Okay, let's not wait till

287
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: a doubleheader on Monday when no one else is playing baseball.

288
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: Let's let's kind of capture as many games early as

289
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: we possibly as we possibly can. So we've been really

290
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: on it every single day. The front office ownership brought

291
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: back a lot of the similar guys that were part

292
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: of that successful chemistry, and I mean it's the chemistry

293
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: and that and and our talent that's really been been

294
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: the two main factors that are have been keeping us performing.

295
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: And also our pitching staff has been nasty so far.

296
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: So it's been it's been great. It's been great team

297
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: complete win baseball.

298
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 7: I think you hit that perfectly.

299
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 6: You know, coming in you think about the Mets and

300
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 6: what they either picked up one Soto as you know,

301
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 6: and the worry was about the pitching staff, but they

302
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 6: have absolutely done their job. Kudos to the coaching staff

303
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 6: too as well with the pitchers. I want to talk

304
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 6: a little about the off season. You know, coming in,

305
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 6: uh all you think about little free agency, you know

306
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 6: what's going to go on, and understandably it took a

307
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 6: while for you to figure out where you were going,

308
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 6: took a while to get you know, a contract done.

309
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 7: Nobody knows what goes on in your mind.

310
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 6: You know, talking to you in the off season a

311
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 6: little bit like, hey, everything's going to work out. I'm

312
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 6: feeling good. And it did eventually it did. You're back

313
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 6: with the Mets, where I think, in my opinion, I

314
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 6: think you wanted to go. But is there something in

315
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 6: your mind right now? Like since you're playing really well, dude,

316
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 6: it's been fun to watch, Like is there a little

317
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 6: chip on your shoulder?

318
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 7: Is business as usual right now? Knowing like, hey, I'm

319
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 7: just going to tack the game like I know how to.

320
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: Can't necessarily focus on on the big on the big picture,

321
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: so every day it's just do what you can go

322
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: want to know every single day, capture as many wins

323
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: as possible. And for me, I I where I'm whether

324
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: I'm hitting three or four in the order, I know

325
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: that how I perform is going to have an impact

326
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: on the team, and I want to be the best

327
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: version of myself because like going deep in the playoffs,

328
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: playing that type of baseball is addictive, Like I honestly

329
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: there's that's the ultimate and in order to get back there,

330
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: I want to be able to do my part. And

331
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean that that type of baseball, that type of

332
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: run that we had last year, it's it's addictive because

333
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: for us it ended, and it's like, man, I want more.

334
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: We want to go to the next level. And collectively

335
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: as a group, it's how locked in not just myself,

336
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: but every single guy is, and how focused everybody is

337
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: to capture the most out of every single day. It's

338
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: really it's really been a tremendous group effort.

339
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 8: Did you learn this last year? Because everybody saw it's

340
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 8: going to be your free agent year and nobody knows

341
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 8: what it's like to go into a free agent year

342
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 8: until you actually go into it. And now technically you

343
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 8: have another free agent year. So did you learn all

344
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 8: this in your free agent year last year where you said,

345
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 8: no pressure on myself. I didn't get off to the

346
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 8: start that I wanted to. Okay, maybe we'll go day

347
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 8: by day. Were those thoughts creeping in during the season.

348
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: No, I mean, to be honest, like every year, I

349
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: mean it's the big leagues. Like you want to succeed

350
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: every single every single day, you gotta you gotta come

351
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: with it. You got to be ready to attack, because

352
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: if you're not ready, the game will the game will

353
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: expose you. And and for me, last year, I felt

354
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: that I just I just don't think my swing was

355
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: in a very consistent place where it's like there'd be

356
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: some days where I had it. So like for me,

357
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,359
Speaker 1: I think having a complete season is about just stacking

358
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: good quality at bats and stacking good days where I

359
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: feel like myself. I'm not trying to force anything. And

360
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: for me, it's it's all. I think I've cleaned up

361
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: a ton of I mean, no one's perfect over the

362
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: course of the year, but I feel like I've cleaned

363
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: up a ton of my mechanics. I feel like I'm

364
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: way more efficient. Uh, there's less uh, there's there's way

365
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: less extra movement. I feel like I'm I'm just really

366
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: efficient right now, and and I think I'm in a

367
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: really good spot day to day.

368
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 8: How much pressure is on Wan Sodo? How much pressure

369
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 8: do you feel? Honestly? You know it might not be

370
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 8: words that he says, but when you have that type

371
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 8: of contract, how much pressure do you feel like is

372
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 8: on him to be something that he doesn't have to be.

373
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 8: He just needs to be Wan Soda.

374
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: Yeah. To be honest, I I don't know, And I

375
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: don't think anyone could ever put themselves in issues because

376
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: he's the He's got the largest contract in all sports,

377
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, so that's I mean, no one. He's kind

378
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: of like on an island in that aspect. But I

379
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: think the for him, like he's all about winning and

380
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: that's the most important thing. Even though he's not having

381
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: the the necessarily the type of season he wants to

382
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 1: have and he knows he's capable of. He's been. He's

383
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: been very present. He's been I mean, you see it

384
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: every single day. He's so consistent, so level headed, and

385
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: that's that's what you want out of a out of

386
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: a superstar like that. He's the same whether he has

387
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: a good day or bad day. And for me, like

388
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: that's you know, Juan Soto is gonna is gonna rake.

389
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 1: You know he's going to have a great season.

390
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 2: Pete probably too, too selfless to say abou Pete's on

391
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 2: track to have a career year right now as we

392
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: stand on a cur like on your current pace, you

393
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: would have a new career high and doubles, walks, ops ops,

394
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 2: plus a bunch of things. But I don't want to

395
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 2: ask you about you, because I know guys like talking

396
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: about other people. More so I want to ask you

397
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 2: about Francisco Lindor, who a guy who I feel like

398
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 2: has kind of embodied who the New York Mets are.

399
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 2: He seems to be the and soul of this team.

400
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: You read about him going to guys lockers, you see

401
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: fans singing his bat song. What do we miss about

402
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 2: playing with a guy like that? And what does he

403
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: like to have as a teammate.

404
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: Oh, he's been He's been great. I think the one thing,

405
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: like all those things you can check off the boxes,

406
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: but the one thing that I respect and love the

407
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: most about him he shows up every day. He's the

408
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: type of guy that's willing to strap it on no

409
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: matter what. It doesn't matter how he's feeling and he

410
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: wants to play one hundred and sixty two games.

411
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 7: I want to talk a little about family a little bit.

412
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,320

Speaker 7: All right, Pete.

433
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 8: I got to ask congrats, by the way, but I

434
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 8: got to ask about something that was my nightmare when

435
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 8: I played my nightmare that I would have when I

436
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 8: was playing, and it would wake me up at night.

437
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 8: Was I show up late for the inning? Now as

438
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 8: a catcher, they're not starting without you, But it was

439
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 8: always like I looked down, I had the wrong cleats on,

440
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 8: I had the wrong color socks on. So when you

441
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 8: ran came running out and the first base coach threw

442
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 8: your first basemans mitt and then they called a ball

443
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 8: on Senga, that was like my nightmare just coming to

444
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 8: real life. And I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

445
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 8: What was going on? My guy?

446
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: Well, so the ending ended, and I mean honestly I

447
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: had to. I mean I think with like the clock now,

448
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: it's really really quickly. I didn't get a chance to

449
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: uh use the use the men's room, and I had

450
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: to take a number one. And by the time I

451
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: knew it is I think it was like what like

452
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: a minute ten seconds. By the time I was finished

453
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: and running out in the field, they got me on

454
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: a pitch violation. So I was like, oh, sorry, boys,

455
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: that's that's really it's not it's not that deep.

456
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 7: Oh this happens, that's tough.

457
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 4: Was it fair though?

458
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 8: Did you did you plead your case? Were you like,

459
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 8: look like this is like, come on, guys, we just

460
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 8: the pitch clock is for the time of the game.

461
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 8: And they spent five minutes talking about it, so they

462
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 8: delayed the game when they could have just been like,

463
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 8: all right, here we go. PiZZ back.

464
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: Thing has struck them out anyway, so it all evened outs.

465
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: Okay, did you get teased a bunch feete or no?

466
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 7: Sorry? What was that?

467
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 3: Did you get teased a bunch after the inning?

468
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 7: Uh? No?

469
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: No, no, so I used so in between before I

470
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 1: got out, I had to Yeah, that was that was it.

471
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: That was it? So I mean again, something stupid again,

472
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: and it is what it is.

473
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 6: Hey, listen, that's that's that's part. You know, we've all

474
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 6: been there in no situations. It's not stupid. That's just

475
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 6: human nature. That's what happens. Sometimes you gotta run, you

476
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 6: gotta go. You got if you want a piece of

477
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 6: chocolate or you know, if you're hungry, you gotta you know,

478
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 6: you're looking for something certain anyway, Home run, derby Dog,

479
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 6: it's getting close. Have you been asked to do it

480
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 6: again or what's your thoughts on that?

481
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: No, I haven't been asked. I mean, I know Atlanta

482
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 1: is a really great place to hit, but got to earn,

483
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 1: got to earn the to be an All Star to

484
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 1: get there. So for me, you gotta keep hammering.

485
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you're on your way.

486
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 2: Last question that I'll let you go, but we we

487
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 2: were all with Rob Thompson earlier and asked him kind

488
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 2: of about the strike zone. I'm wondering, as a hitter,

489
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: does the way the umpires called the zone, how it's

490
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:28,719
Speaker 2: different this year?

491
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,360
Speaker 3: Does that factor in it all?

492
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: Can you let that factor in it all to your

493
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: psyche when you're when you're at a plane at all.

494
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: I mean, they're gonna call what they're gonna call. Like

495
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: for me, it's it's regardless of what happens. I as

496
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: a hitter, you just naturally adjust. I For me, I

497
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: if the balls over the plane, I'm gonna swing. If

498
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: it's not, I'm gonna take so. Or or if it

499
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: looks like it's gonna be a ball, I'm gonna take so.

500
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: That's seaball hit ball if it's.

501
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 7: In my area.

502
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: If it's not, then I'll just just take it. That's

503
00:23:59,000 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: That's really all I got.

504
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,240
