Speaker 3: We just had Alice call on the other day and

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: I was like, like, how how many requests do you get?

20
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: Because there's you know, there's the Mookie Freddie Show, Hey

00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: Yamamoto level, and then there's the guy who hit a

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: big home run in Game seven of the World Series level,

23
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 3: and then there's Alex call and he said he's been

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 3: pretty busy. Did you say more or less yeses to

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: doing appearances this year with the baby on the way

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: and the fact that now it's your third World Series championship.

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: Uh, mainly because you know just how hectic the off

28
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 2: season has been.

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 5: I've said no to a lot of things.

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: You know, there's still a couple of things I've said

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: yes too, But it's just you're trying to get as

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: much time with the family as possible. You know, it's

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: back to back years, especially with starting overseas last two years,

34
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: where it's it's been a really long year, and so

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 2: just trying to get as much family time as I

36
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: can right now knowing that, Uh, you know, we're gearing

37
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: up for another long haul and you know it's it's

38
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: eight nine months of baseball, So you try to get

39
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: the family time when you can.

40
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 3: Where are you right now?

41
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 4: Are you haven't reported to Arizona yet, have you?

42
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: No?

43
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 5: I'm at a I'm at Dodger Stadium right now.

44
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: Whoh, you're bad.

45
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 4: That's why it looks so fancy. Uh when do you

46
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: go to Arizona?

47
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: Uh?

48
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: You know, I'll be out there right when pictures and

49
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: catchers report. So what is that like two weeks two

50
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: and a half weeks away?

51
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 5: Something like that early guy.

52
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 4: You're an early guy, You're a you're an overachiever.

53
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: Max. It's good you're an overachiever. That's not true.

54
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 5: Well, no, I wouldn't call it over achiever. For me,

55
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 5: it's more I in the past.

56
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: I'd always gotten out there right around in the first

57
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: day of February, you know. To me, I always felt

58
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: like that was a good time to get out there,

59
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 2: start getting adjusted, making sure you're out on the field,

60
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: you know, because in the off season you can do

61
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: all the hitting and ground balls and everything you want,

62
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 2: but until you're actually out there on the field, it's

63
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 2: just kind of it's not really the same thing. And

64
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: so I always felt like getting out to Arizona starting

65
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: to get accimated, and you know, I felt I also

66
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: felt like that puts you more in the proper mindset

67
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: of I'm getting ready for the season. Uh, you know,

68
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: because like I said, when you're in the cages or

69
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: you know, you're at home, you just you can train

70
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: as hard as you want, you just don't reflect you're

71
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: in the right mindset. And so for me, it's easier

72
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: to get adjusted to it than try to just flip

73
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: the switch on day one.

74
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: Does everybody go with you. Now you have three kids,

75
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: your wife, does everybody go with you.

76
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 5: They'll be out there eventually.

77
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: They're not going to come out, you know when I

78
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: go out, but uh yeah, once once game starts and

79
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: everything though, they'll be out there. And you know they

80
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: they love Arizona just as much as I do. It's

81
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: a great time of year to be out there. It's

82
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: a you know, the weather's amazing and you know, just

83
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: spring training is just a fun It's a fun time

84
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: for the families. You know, you get to see everyone

85
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: again and they always got a bunch of stuff going on,

86
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, like I said, in Arizona, there's

87
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: a ton of stuff to do for the kids.

88
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: Are you excited to make me? Sorry? Crat's go ahead.

89
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, yeah, we we're just we're just looking

90
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 3: looking at who the new new signings for the Dodgers are.

91
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 3: What do you got on the fact that they went

92
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: out and got Kyle Tucker, the fact that they were

93
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: like Edwin ds he's a decent closer. We'll just bump

94
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: Rokie out of the closer position. How is that? How

95
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: is that received by your teammates? But also how how

96
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: do you receive the negative backlash that everybody has brought

97
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: about all the evil empire and the Dodgers are ruining

98
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: baseball and all that chatter.

99
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 5: Well, first off, it's exciting as a player.

100
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: You know, it's really exciting for us where you're adding

101
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: two really big pieces and you know it's not really

102
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: like we needed anything, but adding you know, two big

103
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: pieces like that, it's very very exciting.

104
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 5: Uh.

105
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: You know, I think for us as an organization, you

106
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 2: just can't you can't really worry about what is being

107
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: you know, said on the outside. We just have to

108
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: worry about ourselves. And that's how we've always gone about business.

109
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: We just try to worry about what happens in the clubhouse,

110
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: what happens on the field, and you know, let everyone

111
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: else say what they want away from us, that it

112
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 2: shouldn't affect us.

113
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 5: We just need to be be out there focused on ourselves.

114
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 2: And you know, that's that's how we've always gone about business.

115
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: It's how we're going to continue to go about our business.

116
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 3: Max.

117
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 4: But seriously, it's your fault. Okay, it's the Dodger's fault.

118
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 4: Everyone's saying it's all the Dodger's fault, that there's gonna

119
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: be a work stoppage in a salary cap Can you

120
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 4: guys handle that pressure this year? Not forget the repeating

121
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 4: and trying to win another one, But it's all the

122
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 4: Dodger's fault that they spend money and they actually try

123
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: because they make so much damn money because they spend

124
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 4: money and try.

125
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, I mean, I guess it's our faull one.

126
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 4: Everyone else is the Dodger's fault. Global warming, you know,

127
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 4: the ice, the snowmem again we just had. It's all

128
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 4: the Dodgers fault.

129
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 3: I mean everything.

130
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 4: It's like the Dodgers. I've ruined every sport now, so

131
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 4: way to go.

132
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 3: Max.

133
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 4: I'm super I'm super proud of you that the Dodgers

134
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 4: win every year and you guys ruined everything in the world.

135
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: Way to go.

136
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, sorry about that, you know. And it's uh,

137
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 5: I don't.

138
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: Like I said, we just try to worry about ourselves

139
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, the fallout happens after that, but

140
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: uh no.

141
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just it's.

142
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: The work stoppage thing is that was gonna happen, you know,

143
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: and we don't know if it's gonna happen.

144
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 5: But look, we're not adding any more fuel to that fire.

145
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 2: If that happens, it was always gonna happen, and it's

146
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: not gonna only happen just because of us. You know,

147
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: that's that's a totally different issue that uh, you know,

148
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: I don't really want to fully get into at this moment.

149
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: There's be plenty of time for that over the next

150
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: over the next year. But yeah, you know, we we

151
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: just got to focus on ourselves.

152
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: All right. Something you have to get into is a

153
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: guy that were just showing a picture of right next

154
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,359
Speaker 3: to you, Kyle Tucker. Honestly, big league vets like him,

155
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: and like you necessarily don't have to sit down and

156
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 3: be like, Kyle, this is how we do this. How

157
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: do you guys, as the Dodgers make him feel as

158
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 3: comfortable as possible to hit the ground running on opening day?

159
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: You know, that's where spring training is so important. You know,

160
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: it's for him to come in and start, you know,

161
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 2: as a new player. One of the hardest things to

162
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: do is learn faces. You know, you're talking about clubhouse attendance,

163
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: training staff, strength staff, you know, coaches, all the you know,

164
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: front office guys that help us out, the analytical guys.

165
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: It's a lot of faces to learn, and so you

166
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: know the easiest way for him to get acclimated is

167
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 2: to kind of just get to spring training and watch

168
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: how we do things, because you know, like you said,

169
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: we're not just gonna We're not gonna have like a

170
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: sit down meeting and be like, Okay, this is how

171
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: the organization runs. You know, he's just going to see

172
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: how that, how that unfolds on it's on its own,

173
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: and uh, you know that that's where we've always done

174
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: a really good job in spring training with with new guys,

175
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: is we just kind of go about our business and

176
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: they they immediately pick up on what we do within

177
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 2: two or three days, and you know, everyone's just focused

178
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: on on us and focused on getting better each day

179
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: and what can we do each day to get better?

180
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: What you know, there's one little thing will work on

181
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: every single day, and it's that's what we're focused on

182
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: the most, and it's all out winning a baseball game.

183
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: And you know that's always been that's always been our

184
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: number one objective is just win the game that day.

185
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 5: And uh, you know, guys pick up on that pretty quick.

186
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 4: Were you involved in the recruiting pitch for any of this?

187
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: Did the Dodgers call you and say, hey, we need

188
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 4: you to reach out to Edwin Diaz. He's a pretty

00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: don't know too many guys that were involved in that.

195
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: You know, I think those deals kind of just came together.

196
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 4: Obviously, you guys, Max, you guys are so good.

197

Speaker 2: No, I mean, obviously I'm not in the war room

205
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 2: with the front office guys.

206
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: But uh uh.

207
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: You know, my understanding is those deals was kind of

208
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: just just came together.

209
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 5: You know.

210
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: I think those guys wanted to come here, they wanted

211
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: to win, and you know, obviously we gave them a

212
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: lot of money. But you know, that's one of the

213
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: things that we've created here is people know about our

214
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 2: culture and know about what our organization is about and

215
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: they want to come be a part of it.

216
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 3: Are you a little mad that you guys signed ds

217
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 3: because you got okay decent numbers against him, or are

218
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: you fine now that you're not going to need to

219
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: face them anymore?

220
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 5: Oh?

221
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd rather not face them. I don't care what

222
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: my numbers are. It's not a guy that you want

223
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: to face.

224
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: Speaking of a guy that you don't ever have to face,

225
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: and anybody has to face except for WBC guys. Kershall,

226
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 3: what do you think about him finally getting his chance

227
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: to pitch into WBC, because from what we heard it

228
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 3: was insurance before that he wasn't able to that he

229
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 3: wasn't able to participate. Kind of like what's going on

230
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 3: with Korea and U Tuva right now? And what do

231
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 3: you expect to see from Kershaw when he throws into WBC.

232
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 5: You know, I'm super pumped for him.

233
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 2: I know he really was bummed that he couldn't do

234
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: it the last time. You know, he really wanted to,

235
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 2: but like you said, there was an insurance thing and

236
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: it just for him it wasn't worth that fight, you know,

237
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: So I'm excited to see him go out there and

238
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: get to put on, you know, the the United States Jersey.

239
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: I think that's a cool moment for you know, any

240
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: baseball player to be able to rep their country. And

241
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what to expect out of him. I

242
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 2: I the only thing I can tell you is that

243
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 2: he's going to compete. You know, That's that's what he's

244
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: always done. He goes out there and competes to the

245
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: absolute best and you know, the chances that he gets

246
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: to pitch, I can promise you he's going to compete

247
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: and he's going to be fiery out there.

248
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 5: But yeah, I don't know what to expect.

249
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, when the season ended, I

250
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 2: don't know how uh how much he's kept his arm

251
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: in shape. You know when I would imagine when you

252
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: make that decision to retire, you're pretty sad.

253
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 5: I'm not throwing a baseball again. So I don't know where.

254
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: I don't know where he'll be at, but uh, you

255
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: know it'll it's gonna be really fun to watch, and

256
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: you know, I'll be cheering him on for sure.

257
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 3: All right.

258
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 4: First of all, as long as he rocks the dad body,

259
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 4: there's nothing more American and him walking around everywhere with

260
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: no shirt on and the total dad go for Clayton.

261
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: You deserve it.

262
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 4: You've had a unbelievable career, first ballot Hall of Famer.

263
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: But is this maybe a hint that he might not

264
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 4: be retired, he might come back, because man, if you're retired,

265
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 4: why the hell do you want to get all up

266
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 4: and get ready to pitch in the WBC every once

267
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 4: in a while, Like you think if you're retired, like

268
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 4: no more throwing, no more working out, no more any

269
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 4: of that.

270
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 3: But Clayton's like, Nope, I'm gonna pitch for the USA.

271
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 5: No.

272
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: I think he's pretty sad on being retired. You know,

273
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: his body has been through so much, his arm has

274
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: been through so much, and you know, he had to

275
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: fight through a lot of stuff last last couple of years,

276
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 2: and you know, he won back. He's won three World

277
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: Series back to back World Series now, and you know,

278
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 2: I think he's pretty he's he's pretty okay with where

279
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: he's at, and uh, you know he's he's such a

280
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: good dad at home, and I think he's ready to

281
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: take that on full time that you know, unless he

282
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: comes out in the WBC throwing ninety five. I think

283
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: he's I think he's pretty pretty set on where he's at.

284
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 3: We discussed it. That wasn't gonna be our next question.

285
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 3: We discussed that if he pops in ninety seven, do

286
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 3: you think because of the you know, the competitor, you

287
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: know the person, you also know the father and husband

288
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 3: that he is, does he say.

289
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: Maybe?

290
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 3: Because every other year he's tried to do the med,

291
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: the heavy ball stuff, and it's like still just eighty

292
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 3: nine sliders down in a way too, you know, down

293
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: and in two three era and finishes the season out.

294
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 3: Does he come back if he pops in ninety five

295
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 3: or ninety seven.

296
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: I don't think so. You know, like I said, I

297
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 2: think he's pretty content with where he's at. But you know,

298
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: in years past, he's been he's you know, already well

299
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: into his workout. It's been ramping up, you know, right

300
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 2: from the season ending, and you know, who knows, giving

301
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: his arm a little bit of a break even though

302
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 2: it was you know, only a month or two. He

303
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: he may come back in his arm might feel great.

304
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: And you know, if he does do ninety five, he

305
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 2: might think I could do this out.

306
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 5: Of the pen for a year.

307
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: But no, I really believe he's he's pretty content with

308
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: where he's at.

309
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 3: We agreed on the show, but it's a fun exercise

310
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 3: to talk about it, of course. Yeah, your manager, Doc

311
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: Roberts said he would love to manage the twenty twenty

312
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 3: eight Olympic team for Team USA. Do you want to

313
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 3: see professional the big leaguers play in the Olympics And

314
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: do you think Doc would be a great manager, even

315
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 3: though he'd have to go right up until the day

316
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: before the Olympics started with you guys and then bang

317
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 3: right into Team USA.

318
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: Well, first off, yes, he would be a great manager.

319
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 2: You know, he's he's e lite at what he does.

320
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: He's so good at knowing his players and knowing how

321
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: they operate. And you know, if you had professional players

322
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: in the Olympics, He's going to know every single one

323
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 2: of them. So there wouldn't be that I got to

324
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 2: get to know my players face. He'd be able to

325
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: get right into there and and be able to to

326
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 2: you know, know everybody and manage them. And you know,

327
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: if there were professional players, the first thing that he

328
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: would do would would you know, be he'd get in

329
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 2: contact with, you know, all the coaches of those players

330
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: just to learn, you know, more about those guys. And

331
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: you know, the thing with the professional players being in

332
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: the Olympics is that would create such a long break

333
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: in the middle of the summer that you know, I

334
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: don't know if that's a h a reasonable thing to do,

335
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 2: because you're not going to continue the season with star

336
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: players not playing in you know, for their teams they're

337
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: gonna if they're going to be in the Olympics, you're

338
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: not going to keep the season going, you know.

339
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: I I don't know.

340
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: If I have a good answer to that, just what

341
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: I like to see it maybe, But at the same time,

342
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 2: that's kind of what the WBC is for. It's a

343
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: almost like Olympic Baseball, just not in the Olympics. So

344
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: you know it, the WBC is a really fun event

345
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: that I really enjoy watching and I think it's really cool.

346
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: But to do it again in the Olympics, I don't know.

347
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, WBC's this year, so you get you get

348
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 4: you get the full country and everything this year, so

349
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 4: we can enjoy that. And if it happens in the

350
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 4: next Olympics, that'd be great because it'd be cool to

351
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 4: showcase baseball. But Japanese, the Japanese team wins every seems

352
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 4: like they win everything every year. You know, they're they're

353
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 4: in the finals, they're winning this and that. We just

354
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 4: talked about rookie Sazaki and Dave Roberts came out and said, oh,

355
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 4: he needs a third pitch. Have you faced him in

356
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 4: like live VP, and does he need a third pitch

357
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 4: a slider, a curveball or something, because you know, fastball

358
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 4: split coming out of that pen in the in the

359
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 4: playoffs was pretty good.

360
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean being a starter and being out of

361
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: the pen is you know, your pitch mix has to

362
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: be a little bit different. You know, if he's sitting

363
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: a hundred with the split, it's because the split is

364
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: so unlike any other pitch that's out there.

365
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 5: You know, it's it's almost more like a forkball.

366
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: You know, he threw a couple of splits last year

367
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: that had like seven hundred eight hundred rpm on it,

368
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: which you know, that's that's getting close to knuckleball territory.

369
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, if he's sitting one hundred, he probably

370
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: doesn't need another pitch. But you know, when you look

371
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: at some of the guys out there, you look at

372
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: you know, Paul Skins or you know de Grom they

373
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: all have the third pitch that they mix in there,

374
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: and it's just something to keep the hitter off balance.

375
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: When there's only two pitches you have to worry about,

376
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: your approach becomes a little bit more simple. And when

377
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 2: you're talking about seeing guys two three times through in order,

378
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: it's a you got to have just something you can

379
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: throw in there as a wrinkle, even if it's not

380
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: a very good pitch.

381
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 5: You just have to have something to throw in there

382
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 5: as a little bit of a wrinkle.

383
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: Did you happen to catch show Tany's MVP acceptance speech

384
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: any any parts of it?

385
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 5: I did not know.

386
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: Okay, well, when you go back and check it out,

387
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: because he did it all in English. He did a

388
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: very good job. Fans have been clamoring. They're like, we

389
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 3: rarely get to hear show Hey speak let alone in English.

390
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 3: How is his English? And what is the one thing

391
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: that you guys get on him for when he's speaking

392
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: English to you guys, And because you've said it multiple times, Oh,

393
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: he's very comfortable. He usually speaks English. He rarely uses

394
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,479
Speaker 3: an interpreter in the clubhouse, and he didn't use an

395
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 3: interpreter when he gave when he got his MVP award.

396
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: Well, you know, he can speak base baseball very very good.

397
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: But speaking baseball and speaking just normally is two different,

398
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 2: you know, two different things. And you know, in terms

399
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: of like a speech, he obviously had time to practice

400
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: that he knew what he was going to say. You know,

401
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: that's a different story than if he's doing an interview

402
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 2: with you know, where questions are coming at him that

403
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: he doesn't know what's going to be said. You know,

404
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: in the clubhouse, he obviously speaks you know, good English,

405
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: because like I said, he can speak baseball very very well.

406
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 2: It's uh, it's always been cool to see him interact

407
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: with with teammates, you know, because he really tries. He

408
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: definitely really tries. He's not a guy that just says,

409
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: oh what don't I don't know, I'm not going to

410
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: try to learn. You know, he really tries to learn

411
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 2: what his teammates are saying and he tries to interact.

412
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: And you know that that's always been a cool thing

413
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: for me to see is that he cares, Uh, he

414
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 2: cares enough about his teammates that he wants to learn

415
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: how to communicate with them.

416
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 3: I need to ask you a question, do you have

417
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 3: a selfie with show Hey.

418
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 5: No, I see, I try not to bother him with

419
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 5: that kind of stuff.

420
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 4: I got one. I got one at the awards on

421
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 4: the on the stage show Hey. I was nervous as crap,

422
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 4: John Franco. I don't know if you know, John Franko,

423
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: the old picture for the Mets Mets Legend was sitting

424
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 4: next to me and show Hey was up on the

425
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 4: stage at the awards, and John's like, you think he'll

426
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 4: take a picture, And I was like, I don't know,

427
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 4: let's go together.

428
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 3: But he won't say no to both of us, will he?

429
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 4: And so we just kind of ran up there real fast,

430
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 4: and we got him real quick, John and I Hey,

431
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 4: hey Hey. And so now the next question is if

432
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 4: I bring a copy of that to spring training, will

433
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 4: he sign it for me?

434
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 5: Probably not.

435
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 3: No.

436
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 2: I mean, like you know, all my teammates they get

437
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 2: bugs so much with that kind of stuff that I've personally,

438
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: I have never tried to be one to ask them

439
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 2: for anything.

440
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: What listen next?

441
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 4: It was a once in a lifetime shot. So I

442
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 4: took the shot, okay, just because yeah, there you go. Look,

443
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 4: I mean, when are you gonna get a picture with

444
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 4: you and show. Absolutely, I mean that was that was

445
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 4: my shot.

446
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: So I took it.

447
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 5: I took and you're dressed up nice.

448
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 2: Look it's gonna look good hanging up in the office

449
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: right right now.

450
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 4: Just think if now, if I sign it goes down

451
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 4: in value. If he signs it, it goes like way

452
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 4: up in value. Even if he writes to AJ, I

453
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 4: can take a little something and wipe that off with man,

454
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 4: I could sell that for like a dollar.

455
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 5: Well I wouldn't. I wouldn't put that out there for

456
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 5: him to hear you.

457
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 4: I would never do any of that. So let's just

458
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 4: understand I would never do any of that.

459
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 3: I just want people to know that.

460
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: Max who gets bothered the most. There are many famous

461
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: teammates at this point. Who gets bothered the most for requests, photos,

462
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: whatever else that pops up at the ballpark each day?

463
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's this show is probably the top.

464
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: But you know, it's tough to pick from from all

465
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: my teammates. You know, I know Kersh got bugged a

466
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 2: lot last year because when it became known that it

467
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: was his last year, the request started flooding in. Guys

468
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 2: wanted to make sure they try to get a jersey

469
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 2: or a ball or just you know anything. So I

470
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 2: know he he got bogged down quite a bit towards

471
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: the end of the year last year. But yeah, shows

472
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 2: probably at the top.

473
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna finish with I got two fan

474
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:56,040

Speaker 4: show Hey to sign my picture for me?

487
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 5: Then, you know, I really don't mind that at all.

488
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: You know, I've been very comfortable with where I'm at,

489
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, I've been very comfortable with who

490
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 2: I am, and you know, at the end of the day,

491
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: all those guys being in here just gives us a

492
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: better chance to win. And that's when I get to

493
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: go home and look at, you know, the three World

494
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 2: Series trophies I've got, and it's it's just it's it's

495
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: a good reminder every single day that it's, you know it,

496
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: it really takes a full team effort to win these things,

497
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 2: and you know, every single year, and you know, last

498
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 2: year was actually, you know, a really cool The World

499
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: Series last year was obviously really cool to me, just

500
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: because it took every single guy on the roster to

501
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 2: win that. If any one of those guys was missing,

502
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: we don't win that World Series. Every single person on

503
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 2: the roster played a big part in you know, winning

504
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: that World Series. Whether it was a catch or a

505
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 2: hit or a certain pitch or whatever. Every single guy

506
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: contributed to the one last year. And so it's just,

507
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: you know, it's such a team effort that, you know,

508
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: I don't mind being in the shadows.

509
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 5: It's fun. Max.

510
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: I'll cue up a fan question here, and I'll try

511
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: to combine actually both, so the fan jokingly asked, or

512
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: maybe not, are you gonna practice the wheel play in

513
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: spring training this year? Do you guys have it down?

514
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: And other fans have asked also if there's anything that

515
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: you're working on or that you changed.

516
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 5: In the offseason.

517
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: So I'll kind of mix both of those questions together

518
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: because we had Nolan ar and Ottawan yesterday and he

519
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: actually said he's done many things differently this offseason. These

520
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: guys can probably comment more about what he was saying,

521
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: but it had more to do I guess with rest

522
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: I whatever else that he's trying to switch up as

523
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: everybody gets a year older and you try to be

524
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: the prime version of yourself. So thoughts on both there.

525
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 2: Well, first the wheel play, Uh no, I don't I don't.

526
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 5: Know that we'll practice at this spring.

527
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 2: We'll practice the usual bunt defenses and uh, you know,

528
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 2: well we'll see what We'll see what Bobby g has

529
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 2: drawn up for us once spring starts. But you know,

530
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: as I talked about it last year after we ran it,

531
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 2: that's a play that we hadn't practiced since the pitchers

532
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,119
Speaker 2: stopped hitting, and uh, you know, it's just one of

533
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 2: those things where it just kind of it came together

534
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 2: in the moment, and if we have to run them again,

535
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: I think it will be another come together in the

536
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: moment type of thing. And Doc's gonna trust the players

537
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: on the field to know what they need to do,

538
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: and you know, obviously we'll have a discussion about it,

539
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 2: but I don't yeah, I don't think we will be

540
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 2: practicing it. And ask for the other question, Uh, you know,

541
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: I think the thing that most of us have done

542
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: this year is just having the experience of being you know,

543
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: in the World Series multiple years now understanding how important

544
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: rest is.

545
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 5: So I think.

546
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 2: Most of the guys I've talked to have been on

547
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 2: the same program that I've been on that we haven't

548
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 2: started any baseball activity until you know, the middle of

549
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 2: January almost some guys are still just now starting and

550
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: just trying to give your body as much rest as possible,

551
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 2: knowing that if we want to make another run to November,

552
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 2: you know, the you got to be as rested as

553
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: you can to get through through the summertime. Most guys

554
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 2: like to hit and throw all year round, but for us,

555
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 2: you know, we got to have that rest. And so

556
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: most most guys have just uh pushed back their training

557
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 2: until until now, starting now knowing that spring training this

558
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 2: year is going to be more how it was you

559
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: know in the old days, where spring training is almost

560
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 2: like your off season, where you're really starting to ramp

561
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: up in spring training instead of showing up to spring

562
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 2: training fully ready to go, which you guys have seen

563
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 2: that evolution just as the years have gone by. It's

564
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 2: it's more and more you have to be ready from

565
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: the first game of spring versus oh, you're using spring

566
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 2: training to get ready, all.

567
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 3: Right before we let you go? Are you? And kersh?

568
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 4: The only two guys that have all three rings are.

569
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 5: Key King, Yuki kek, Rookie Will.

570
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 3: There's a whole lawsuit, a lot of y'all.

571
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then uh D May and Tony Gonsolin count.

572
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,360
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, man, there's a lot.

573
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, that's amazing that you guys have kept this

574
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 4: many guys together for.

575
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 3: A long time.

576
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 2: Well yeah, obviously obviously, Doc, but yeah, I think that

577
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: might be it.

578
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,239
Speaker 3: That's pretty awesome though.

579
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 4: That's a lot because I mean, I look at teams now,

580
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 4: the twenty twenty one White I'm just using the twenty

581
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 4: twenty one White Sox. There's not one player left and

582
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 4: they didn't win anything, and their team's all gone. But

583
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 4: you know, usually when guys win that, you know, the

584
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 4: free agent contracts or this, that they leave, you know, whatever.

585
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 4: It's just an amazing feat that you guys have kept

586
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 4: that many guys together for so long. It's a credit

587
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 4: to the organization and the people in that on that team.

588
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 2: Honestly, Yeah, it's been it's been a fun ride, and

589
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 2: it's you know it it's it's just really cool to

590
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: have that group of guys to have been through all

591
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 2: of this together and you know it is it is

592
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 2: pretty wild that uh, you know, three World Series, you know,

593
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 2: four or five years of winning one hundred plus games.

594
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 5: It's it's it's been a good ride.

595
