1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure to have Logan Gilbert on the show. Logan,

2
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: of course, a right hander for the Seattle Mariners, a

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: huge piece of a very formidable rotation for the MS. Logan,

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: thanks so much for being with us. Great to see you.

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: I know, everyone shows up to camp in the best

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: shape of their life. Everyone's ready to go. But you

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: guys have a lot to be excited about. What are

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: you most excited about when it comes to this twenty

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: twenty six M squad?

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the expectations this year just seems a

11
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: little different. Of course, we made the playoffs, so a

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 2: few years back, broke the streak and for a little

13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 2: bit it was kind of make the playoffs or win

14
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: the division, and things changed last year and we saw

15
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: how good we can be and how close we got.

16
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: So this year already, a lot of the meetings that

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: talk has just been the expectations that we see ourselves

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: as one of the best teams.

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 3: Have you recovered from last year? Yeah?

20
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, feeling good physically, Not physically I'm talking mentally,

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: because yeah, I mean I was in obviously you know

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: that I was there for the Alds against Tigers, which

23
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: was one of the greatest series I've ever seen been

24
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 2: a part of.

25
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 3: Game five was unbelievable. You guys pulled it out right,

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: and then you go to the next series against the

27
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 3: Bluejas and have another unbelievable series inner so close. Just

28
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: how do you get over that? Yeah, it's very taxing.

29
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: It's like the coolest thing to be a part of

30
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: that mentally, but also you're it's very high highs and

31
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: low lows too, so it takes a while in a

32
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: good way. You want to reflect on it and like

33
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: let it sting for a little bit and motivate you.

34
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: But at the same time, this year, I think we

35
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: kind of address it but get past it. At the

36
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: same time, we're a new team and expectations to win

37
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: it all.

38
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, for someone who's never got a chance to play

39
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 4: in the World Series but lost some tough games, you know,

40
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: getting a chance to go to the World Series, what

41
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 4: are those conversations like with your teammates in the offseason

42
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 4: where you guys just continuingly, you know, pushing each other

43
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 4: to just get a little bit better because you know

44
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 4: you were so close to getting over that hume.

45
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: Definitely, I think bringing nails back right away was the

46
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: biggest thing, and for a moment and the team and

47
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: all that, But a lot of those conversations I think

48
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: took place right afterwards, just getting back to Seattle Pack

49
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: in your locker, Like we're talking about the sting of

50
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 2: being so close and losing, but at the same time

51
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: we were talking just different guys whoa cal bryce like

52
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: how close we got and also the team that we

53
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: have that you know, like I said, let it hurt

54
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 2: for a little bit, but also motivate us and come

55
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: up next year and not come up short.

56
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: What does that look like? Because he's mentioned bringing back nails, right,

57
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: he lost Geno, but then you bring in Donovan. You

58
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: have a lot of essentially the same team back that

59
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: was really good last year. Now you guys are the

60
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 3: favorites in this division, right, everyone's looking at you guys

61
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: to not only be the favorites of the division, but

62
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 3: possibly represent the American League. That's different here for Seattle then,

63
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: like you mentioned, so how do you deal with the

64
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 3: expectations and what does Dan say? Dan Wilson say, Yeah,

65
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 3: I think it's where we want to be. It's fun.

66
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: You want the target on your back and it's a

67
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: big honor. Like we know we have a good division.

68
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: We know the aos stacked. There's a lot of good teams.

69
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: Be the top team at the beginning, it's a big deal.

70
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: But at the same time, like honestly, it means nothing.

71
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: You have to go out there, you have to prove

72
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: it every single day. We have to win the games

73
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 2: that matter. And Dan at the Helm, he's the man.

74
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 3: He gets it.

75
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 2: The players love him. He feels like a player still.

76
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: He's setting the tone the right way from the get go.

77
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 4: Yeah for someone who was drafted, you know, and his

78
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 4: only pitch for the Mariners, take me inside kind of

79
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 4: your head. You're dugout during Game five when cal Rawly

80
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 4: hits that home run to tie the game, and then

81
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: ultimately Gino goes and hits that home run. I mean,

82
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: you know, I got a chance to play in the postseason.

83
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: That was one of the greatest postseason atmospheres I've ever

84
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: ever seen.

85
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was crazy.

86
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: There's the loudest I've heard anything ever any stadium, any game.

87
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: The fans in Seattle just going crazy. You can tell

88
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: how long they've waited for something like that. All of

89
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: us really, like you're talking about getting drafted here in eighteen.

90
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: This has been the vision for years of what the

91
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: team could be, where we could make it, and for

92
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: years it was just kind of like seeing it. We're

93
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: almost there, We're almost there, and then last year we

94
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: actually got to taste of it that after seven or

95
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: eight years, like this is what we wanted to happen.

96
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: But at the same time, it can't be a one

97
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: year thing. We want to be that team for five

98
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: ten years. That every year is right there in the hunt, Logan.

99
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: I'm here for the hard hitting questions, only the stuff

100
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: that people want to know. You are a knicker style

101
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: pant wearing guy, and all of a sudden, you're showing

102
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: up in long pants and I need to know, Logan,

103
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: what is happening?

104
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: Why that got canceled? That didn't work out for me.

105
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 2: I just I just wanted to change it. It's been

106
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: like since high school or college that I tried that,

107
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: and I always thought I would do it like last

108
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: game of a season or something. But I can't bring

109
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: myself to not take an outing seriously, even if it's

110
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: just my pants. So I figured live VPS probably the

111
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: most relaxed setting I could try it out, and it

112
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: didn't work.

113
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: So I'm back at pants up. Alani you have to

114
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: understand that he's tall and skinny, so the short good.

115
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: When you're short, it doesn't look good.

116
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: Imagine how much taller he would even look in. I mean,

117
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: you're six six, so long pants it's gonna elongate you

118
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: even more. That is a menacing site on the mound looking.

119
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: I was told it didn't look good though I was taller,

120
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: but didn't look good at the same time. So I

121
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: learned my lessons.

122
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 3: So up here, so a lot of up here. There's

123
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 3: a mural of like all the great A lot of

124
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 3: the great, not all of them, A lot of the

125
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: great Mariners. Most of them except for Felix, have long

126
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 3: pants on. So would you go the Raula Banya's baggy

127
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 3: look or would you go the Randy Johnson? These are

128
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 3: way too tight, tapered, tight, rolled at the bottom line.

129
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: I mean, Randy looks good. It's intimidating, but I don't

130
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: know if I can pull it off. Cal told me

131
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: today they were too tight, that's the problem. So I

132
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: think maybe I go backwards with the baggy ones.

133
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: Try that out. Yeah, someone showed me a picture of

134
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 3: me from like twenty ten and my pants were like pajamas. Yeah,

135
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: that was the look style, and we were jerseys baggy.

136
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 3: Now everyone's gone super tight. Yeah, and it's like it'll

137
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: go back to baggy. It always does it always, it

138
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 3: always reverts back.

139
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got I got two for you. I want

140
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 4: to know just I mean, obviously win all healthy, best

141
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 4: starting staff in baseball. I want to know about your guys'

142
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 4: kind of friendly competition with each other. You guys always

143
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 4: consistently trying to one up each other. Someone goes out

144
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 4: there throw seven, I'm saying I'm throwing eight. The next

145
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 4: guy's trying to go nine. And then I was kind

146
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 4: of always what's the word envious? I guess I love

147
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 4: the way that you're starting pitchers come out of the

148
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 4: bullpen and your high five routine. Kind of how that

149
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: kind of started.

150
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess since I got here really and I

151
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 2: actually just ran into Marco yesterday with the pods now,

152
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 2: but he was the one that was kind of the

153
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: older guy when I got here, and establishing the culture

154
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: and watching each other's bullpens every single day, being out

155
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 2: there before the game to be ready for the starter

156
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 2: coming in. It's just kind of the culture, at least

157
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: on the pitching side, that we do that kind of stuff.

158
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 2: I know the hitters have their things too, but we've

159
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: always been a tight knit group, and like you're saying,

160
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: we the competition and internally is really fun because guys

161
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: have really good years that you want to top somebody else.

162
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: Guys have really good games that you want to top them.

163
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,720

211
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 3: Because you're you're known as a tinkerer, so you're always trying.

212
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 3: Some people know that.

213
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm trying a couple of things, but I've I

214
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 2: doubt they actually make it out of camp. I'm trying

215
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: to cutter right now.

216
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 3: You didn't throw a cutter because everyone throws like.

217
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: I didn't twenty four and then I stopped throwing it,

218
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: and now I might throw it again.

219
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 3: So what's gonna make the decision?

220
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: I guess just the feel I have Ford in Spring.

221
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try it out and sert.

222
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 3: It doesn't work here in Arizona. The difference between Arizona

223
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 3: and Seattle atmosphere is a big difference. It's a huge difference. Yeah,

224
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 3: we'll see.

225
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: We have smarter people than me behind the computers that

226
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: are gonna help me out.

227
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 3: Okay, as long as you listen, as long as you

228
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: have that split, I think you're gonna be all right. Yeah,

229
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: all the chances are a keep throwing that. Do you

230
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 3: ever get tired of beating the crap out of cow

231
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 3: with that split? Never?

232
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: That's the fun part of it. Swinging missus okay too,

233
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: but I like just bury it on them.

234
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: Well yeah, but people swing and miss when it's in

235
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 3: the dirt. Yeah, when it's up here.

236
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

237
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 3: Yeah. Did you ever come to you and be like

238
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 3: dude all the time?

239
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: Seriously, all the time I hear him talking behind my

240
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: back to it gets back to me.

241
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: Does it? I hear it when you? Uh? Was it

242
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: the postseason? It was in Detroit series? Was it you

243
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: that threw the split and you missed it for a passball?

244
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: And it was the first. I think it was the

245
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 3: first the whole year it was. It's not fair that

246
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: should go on your record like a knuckleball. Like, no,

247
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: if you were a pitcher, you would be on my side.

248
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: You would know that it can't ever be our fault, right,

249
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: it has to be somebody else. Yeah, but that thing

250
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: was so nasty. And I remember the stat when I

251
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: looked at the stat and it was it was the

252
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 3: first pass ball he had all year. Yeah, and he

253
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 3: caught like one hundred and thirty games.

254
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 2: It didn't even sound real. And somehow not being up

255
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: for a Gold Glove. I don't want to be together,

256
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: but he, I mean, that's no passball is in a

257
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: whole season.

258
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: He won the Platinum year ago. It doesn't get it

259
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 3: didn't make sense to me that it wasn't even nominated.

260
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: But that's I beat the drump for the m v

261
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: P all year, so should have been. Yeah, but you're biased.

262
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: I'm biased of a catcher, I get it. But yeah, yeah,

263
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: that was one of the craziest stats.

264
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean I think he should have gotten it. I mean,

265
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: cal there's no reason that cal If I understand it.

266
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: Went's Aaron Judge, but come on, I mean, and logan

267
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: to that horn for him. I mean, this is a

268
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: guy that the home runs. Everything he's doing, not to

269
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: mention everything he's doing behind the plate to get you

270
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: guys through a game.

271
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody's done it all like him. People have had

272
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: good seasons, but he did everything at an elite level

273
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: that if it doesn't go to him then then it's like,

274
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 2: I don't know how. I don't know how it ever

275
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: goes to a catcher for for doing every piece of

276
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 2: what he's doing. Nothing against Aaron Judge. I still have

277
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: to face him this year at some point. So got him.

278
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: Great player. Can't say anything bad, but cal Cal is very,

279
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 2: very good.

280
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 3: I think he was well deserving.

281
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just gonna say, I mean, you know,

282
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 4: we give cal a lot of credit for what he

283
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: was able to do offensively, but just I mean, you're

284
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 4: someone who works with him every single day. You're pitching staff,

285
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 4: and I mean you got five monsters and your pitching

286
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 4: staff all throwing, you know, from different angles and different stuff.

287
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 4: You know, just kind of like Alana said, just kind

288
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 4: of give him his flowers for what he's able to

289
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 4: do behind the plate as well.

290
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's so good at it, knowing what works for

291
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: different people. Arsenals approaches sequences also like what gets you right.

292
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: He knows the language to use with us that makes

293
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 2: us the best version of ourselves. It's hard enough focusing

294
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: on your own career, I know, and I only have

295
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: to play thirty times a year. He's playing every single

296
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: day and worrying about twelve other guys thirteen other guys too,

297
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: and then putting up sixty homers.

298
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 3: It's it's unreal. It'll be fun to see what he does.

299
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: Do you a yeller at her? Or you? You need

300
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 3: kind all to come out there and yell at you.

301
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: Are you a joke? Do you need a joke? What

302
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: does he put his arm around you and coddle you?

303
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 3: What does he do for you?

304
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: He's been saying he thinks I need a joke here

305
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: and there, and I keep telling him that that's not

306
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 2: that's not the I he knows when it get on

307
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: me at the right times. I like that he knows

308
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 2: he has good feel for the people in the situation.

309
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 2: It's not all the time you prefer. I like when

310
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: he when he brings some attitude every once in a while.

311
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 3: So if he comes out of your mask on it,

312
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 3: puts his glove over his face, he's like, you suck,

313
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 3: what's wrong with you? And then you're like laughing, and

314
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 3: you know what he's saying, you need that every once

315
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 3: in a while. I agree with that. I agree, okay, Logan.

316
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: Gave's fires up after you. What's something we should know

317
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: about Gabe that we don't know?

318
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 3: Oh Man, something about Gabe.

319
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 2: Gosh, I'm trying to think if I know anything about Gabe.

320
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 3: Oh so oh no, no, Aloni, this is perfect starting pictures.

321
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 3: They can't hang out with the bullpen guy. They're the five,

322
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 3: they're the group five. They have to stick together. Saved

323
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 3: like twenty runs a year for me. So I can

324
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 3: only say good things about him. Uh, I don't know.

325
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: He's got a son that's been out here. He's one

326
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: hanging out at the field every day. Maybe asked about

327
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: that or Team USA. He's got a lot going on.

328
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: He loves a sauna back at home.

329
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: He's big. Did you have any I didn't hear much

330
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 3: nont here much.

331
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 6: I hear much.

00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: I mean skiing scooble web. Gilbert would have been a nice.

333
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some good other pictures. I can't hold a grudge.

334
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: It's true, true, Logan, thank you, You're a pleasure to

Speaker 1: We can't wait to see you guys back in that postseason.

339
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I appreciate it. Thanks for having me on.

340
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back to foul territory. Everybody. You can see that

341
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: we are at Mariners camp of course today A J. Pierzinski,

342
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: Kevin Palara, Alana Rizzo with you, and Rob Refsnyder sitting

343
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: next to Aj. Nice to see Rob in an M's UNI.

344
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: Not quite used to it yet coming over from the

345
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: Boston Red Solide. Rob, good to be with you. You

346
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: guys were just talking off camera about the fact that

347
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: you know you're still doing it. Kevin said that if

348
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: he had that swing, he'd still be playing too. What

349
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: are you excited the most about in terms of getting

350
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: going with the M's obviously a team that has sites

351
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: getting back to the postseason.

352
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you can kind of feel the the

353
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 6: excitement even though like kind of the sense of urgency

354
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 6: even in spring training. They had such a great run

355
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 6: last year and added some some really good pieces with it,

356
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 6: with like Donovan and things like that. So now it's

357
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 6: a it's an exciting camp and you can kind of

358
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 6: feel it. You know, everyone's pretty focused and yeah, definitely.

359
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 3: What have they said to you as far as role

360
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: wise on this team? Are you're gonna do what you

361
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 3: normally do just bash lefties, play kind of all around

362
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: the outfield and just mash. Yeah, I mean Jerry Justin.

363
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 6: Dan's communication has been pretty pretty amazing honestly all off season,

364
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 6: even in camp, so a lot of looks against lefties

365
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 6: and mixing in the outfield. So yeah, but the communication

366
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 6: has been, you know, incredible so far.

367
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 3: Hey, Rob, what changed for you?

368
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 4: Because we were teammates in twenty seventeen in Toronto and

369
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 4: you kind of bounced around and then you end up

370
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 4: in Boston and find a home there for a couple

371
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 4: of years. You know, what's changed with you? Swing wise,

372
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 4: mentality wise, because you know, you were one of those

373
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 4: guys that was kind of a four A player and

374
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 4: now you know, four years later, you're one of the

375
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 4: best left handed you know, specialists in the game.

376
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess, uh.

377
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 6: I mean at that time, I had really no like

378
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 6: identity as a ball player. I was I was mixing

379
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 6: in a bunch of different positions and really kind of

380
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 6: lost with my swing and really what I wanted to

381
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 6: focus on and kind of what I knew I could

382
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 6: handle what I couldn't. So, you know, at that time,

383
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 6: I was just searching, honestly, and but I had some

384
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 6: really really good teammates at you know, with with Kevin

385
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 6: and Steve Pierce at the time helped me a lot.

386
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 6: I don't think he really realized how much he helped

387
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 6: me at the time, but he really wanted me to

388
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 6: just kind of simplify it. And then you know, I

389
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 6: met some incredible hitting coaches. Kevin Knows, uh, Pete Fatsy

390
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 6: with the Red Sox, Uh, Cody Atkinson Uh. Now I

391
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 6: think assistant with Toronto, a couple others. I'm leaving a

392
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 6: couple out, but Borgs hitting coach now with the Nationals.

393
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 6: So without those guys, I'd be, you know, at home

394
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 6: doing something else. So a lot of credit goes to

395
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 6: those hitting coaches.

396
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, was the one approach?

397
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 6: Was it in like twenty seventeen. It was big on

398
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 6: just like I don't know, it was like pull side air,

399
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 6: but no one really knew how to teach it. So

400
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 6: we had all this information and my assuming was just

401
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 6: super underplane. So underplane, I mean a lot of golfers

402
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 6: out there, I'm sure it's just I was just hooking

403
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 6: the ball to the left as already I was just

404
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 6: underneath the ball and then through contact my bat was

405
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 6: rolling up through the zone and just super super just

406
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 6: high up through the zone, so a lot of top spins.

407
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 6: So anything I pulled was either at the shortstop or

408
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 6: over the shortstop's head, and then I would catch it

409
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 6: deep and I would flush it to write, but I

410
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 6: didn't have the juice hit it out to write, so

411
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 6: it was just a whole lot of nothing. I always

412
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 6: did an okay job of controlling the strike zone, so

413
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 6: I think that helped me stay in Triple A and

414
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 6: get some some ambassing Triple A. Just working through those things,

415
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 6: just having I guess, like competitive at bats but without

416
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 6: those hitting coaches, and getting my swing a little bit

417
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 6: more flat through the zone and learning some things I

418
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 6: could handle some things I couldn't. Yeah, like I said,

419
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 6: I would be, I'd be doing something else.

420
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: Rob do you play to the park obviously you're going

421
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: from Fenway to Tea Mobile or do you just stay

422
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: within the same approach and not try to adjust too

423
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: much based on where you're playing.

424
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 6: I think it's important for younger players to realize who

425
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 6: you're facing. You know, AJ Kevin can talk about it.

426
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 6: Just there's some some pictures out there that it doesn't

427
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 6: match up with your swing and for you to try

428
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 6: to do certain things to those pictures, it's just not

429
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 6: any You're not going to have any success. So just

430
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 6: kind of realizing the pictures you can maybe take a

431
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 6: chance on, and then the pictures you realize, you know

432
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 6: they're going syncer away, change up away, like you're going

433
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 6: to kind of bury your head and try to drive

434
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 6: it in the four hole, hit over the second basement's head.

435
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 6: Also if you're not feeling that great that day and

436
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 6: you're kind of leaning off working the counts and trying

437
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 6: to get on base for the big guys in the order.

438
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 6: So just trying to play that kind of game within

439
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 6: the game has helped me a lot, especially as a

440
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 6: kind of platoon not playing every day. You got to

441
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 6: pick those kind of battles.

442
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 3: You're you're like the perfect guy for me that I

443
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 3: have conversations with players, especially veteran players for winning teams.

444
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 3: You know what your role is, right, You have a

445
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 3: specific job on the Mariners to hit lefties, play your

446
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 3: positions when you get in there, and then you also

447
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: help the young kids. You guys don't have a ton

448
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 3: of young kids, but the young kids you can help

449
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 3: out and show them how to be a bench guy

450
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 3: or show them how to how to make adjustments like

451
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 3: you did. I think teams that win have guys like you,

452
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 3: and that's why you're so valuable.

453
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 6: I appreciate it. Yeah, you know, awesome coming from you.

454
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 6: But yeah, I just think, you know, I've you know,

455
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 6: when I play with Kevin in twenty seventeen, I was

456
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 6: really searching kind of you know, staying afloat, and I

457
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 6: had some incredible veterans just take time out of their day.

458
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 6: And you know, I wasn't a father at the time,

459
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 6: but like these guys have kids, they have a lot

460
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 6: of responsibilities, places to be, and for them to take

461
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 6: extra time even away from the ball park through text

462
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 6: or phone calls, just to help me out. I mean,

463
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 6: I'm just always been so I guess gracious and thankful

464
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 6: for that. So anytime I can pay it forward. And

465
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 6: you know, I've had a couple guys kind of reach

466
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 6: out this camp and it's been cool, kind of digging

467
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 6: a little bit deeper and some of their their numbers

468
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 6: and things like that. Their approach. I think the easiest

469
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 6: thing you can do is adjust your approach in today's game,

470
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 6: because pictures are just so dang good.

471
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, to kind of piggyback on that. You know, I

472
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 4: know how difficult it be to be a platoon guy.

473
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 4: You know what's kind of your preparation to stay ready,

474
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 4: locked in every single day? And is there someone that's

475
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 4: kind of helped you, you know, learn how to be

476
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 4: the best at that position.

477
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 6: Trying to think of some some great I mean fatsy in.

478
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 6: You know, I still searching for a lot of different things,

479
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 6: but in twenty two I met Pete and just you know,

480
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 6: keeping it simple, but I think a j can talk

481
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 6: about it. We're always searching for a feeling or like

482
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 6: feeling really locked in and as a platoon, as.

483
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 3: A harder is a guy that doesn't get to play

484
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: every day.

485
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's important that the younger players know

486
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 6: and and things like that that that's just not a

487
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 6: reality in our role. You're not going to play. There's

488
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 6: days where I don't play for seven or eight days.

489
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 6: So I think, you know, mixed BP, which MIXEDVP is

490
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 6: just sounds like it is. It's just you know, I

491
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 6: never really know what's coming. So never getting too comfortable

492
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 6: in the cage I think is important because you're never

493
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 6: going to feel that comfortable in the game. So mixed speeds,

494
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 6: different angles and things like that have been really really

495
00:21:55,520 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 6: important for me. I think being an't about my time

496
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 6: on the road. There's usually in one cage, so I

497
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 6: try to get in there early, do my routines, to

498
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 6: stay out of some people's way, and just make sure

499
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 6: I have enough time to get my routine in and

500
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 6: things like that. But a lot of mix vp and

501
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 6: making sure I'm super slow and early and on time.

502
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 6: That's the most important thing. Staying behind the baseball, just

503
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 6: so you know, just not not trying to do too

504
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 6: much when you're up there is really important. I'm saying

505
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 6: a bunch of cliches, but that's really my routine. And

506
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 6: and being okay with not feeling locked in all the

507
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 6: time or ever, because it's it's it's really hard to

508
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 6: even do when you're in every day, every day guy.

509
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 6: So just making sure I'm behind the ball and when

510
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 6: I'm in the in the batter's box is just like

511
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 6: what I want to do to the baseball, not like

512
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 6: where my hands, where is my foot? There's my toe tap?

513
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 6: Because strike one, strike two really fast.

514
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: It's almost like being comfortable with the uncomfortable rob and

515
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: I think what I think about you, it's almost like

516
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: a Swiss army knife and that utility role of kind

517
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: of being able to I mean, and you have more

518
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: time as a corner outfielder than you do uh as

519
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: an infielder, but you can do it all. Do you

520
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: think that's I know, what's valuable. But do you think

521
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: that type of thing has been able to elongate your

522
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 1: career and and really find a place for yourself because

523
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: you can do so much.

524
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 6: I'm not I'm not exactly sure how I stay in the.

525
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 3: Game for this long, but because you can hit, because

526
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 3: you hit your teammate and you can play there.

527
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 6: But you know, honestly, being receptive to coaching and h

528
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 6: but knowing yourself is important, you know. I think when

529
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 6: I was younger, it's you know, you can you can

530
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 6: almost be too coachable, not having identity, so making sure

531
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 6: you're surrounded by people that that can help you identify

532
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 6: things that you're that you're good at and things that

533
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 6: you can work on. But yeah, just being receptive to

534
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 6: coaching and then always kind of pushing the limits in

535
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 6: the off season and the even season of like you know,

536
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 6: a training a certain way and things like that. I think, shoot,

537
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 6: my first year was in twenty fifteen in the major leagues,

538
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 6: and from twenty fifteen to now, how much like development

539
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 6: in the major leagues is going on. It's it's wild.

540
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 6: It's just it's constantly pushing the envelope and things like that.

541
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 6: So I think that's the biggest growth I've seen in

542
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 6: our game is just like you know, you're you're in

543
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 6: a coach's office at one thirty before a game and

544
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 6: you're kind of figuring out things you can get do

545
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 6: to get better that day. But also it's important that

546
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,719
Speaker 6: you have a staff that recognizes and Dan said that

547
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 6: in our first meeting, like the most important thing is

548
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 6: the game at seven, so making sure you're ready for that.

549
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 6: So it's a huge balance and I think that's why

550
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 6: you see so much staff now.

551
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: It makes sense. It's tough, all right. Before to let

552
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 3: you go, I have to ask you this. I didn't

553
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 3: know this about you. So I just found out that

554
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 3: you were actually born in Korea. Yeah, but you grew

555
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 3: up in the US. And as the Olympics are going on,

556
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: the figure skater who was born in China just won

557
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 3: a gold medal for the US. Right, So if WBC

558
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 3: would you play for Korea or would you play for

559
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 3: the US. And then if they do happen this year,

560
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 3: let's say they play each other somewhere down the road,

561
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 3: what were you root for?

562
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 6: It's a great question, man, It's a tough question to

563
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 6: end it on.

564
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: No.

565
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was adopted in Korea, born in Korea, and

566
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 6: then I grew up in south southern California. Both my

567
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 6: parents are are white. My dad's six foot eight. I

568
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 6: used to go to Lakers games and uh he looked

569
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 6: like Tilt Jackson.

570
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 3: So he like, would you say Phil Wareons? Yeah?

571
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, all the all the guys had a couple of pops.

572
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 6: Uh no, on the on the JumboTron. He'd always like

573
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 6: he would get on it sometimes as like to looklike, yeah, So,

574
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know. I almost want to go

575
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 6: play in Korea in kind of when I was floundering

576
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 6: in the minor leagues a little bit and maybe like

577
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 6: twenty eighteen. But to answer your question, I have no idea.

578
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 3: But yeah, so then then it leads me to one

579
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 3: more question. Sorry, if you went and played in a couple.

580
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 6: Of good corner outfitters for Team USA, I know I understood,

581
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 6: but it was it this year judge and jeez, they

582
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 6: have every Roman judge who's in center.

583
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 3: Jeez, it's everybody, anybody, you can think of everything. Yeah, yeah,

584
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: I don't think you're out Iron Buxton. Yeah you're not

585
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 3: running those two. Yeah, they're stacked. So if you went and.

586
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 6: Played, I don't think I'm pitch hitting for any of those.

587
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 3: Even if they brought in a left I think. Okay,

588
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: I think if you if you were going to go

589
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 3: and play in Korea, because I I didn't think about that,

590
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 3: would you count as a because you know, they can

591
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 3: only have so many for as.

592
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know.

593
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 3: Would you count as a formal because you're you're born.

594
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 6: I'm sure the team would try to get me as

595
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 6: a non foreign, but I don't know. That's a good question.

596
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 3: We have to figure that one out and let you know. Yeah,

597
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 3: hopefully you don't have to worry about unless you want

598
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 3: to go like Adam Jones did at the end of

599
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 3: his career and play a couple of years ago.

600
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 6: Yeah he did Japan, right, Yeah, Yeah, Now I know

601
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 6: a couple of guys playing right now, Bobby dollbacks in Japan,

602
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 6: and yeah, I mean a bunch of guys are coming

603
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 6: back though as pitchers, and yeah, and getting a nice

604
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 6: little pay day. Okay, well thanks Rob, Yeah, thanks guys.

Speaker 3: Gabe Spire now joining us from the Seattle Mariners, And

606
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 3: I just want to say this before we get into this.

607
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 3: He's a lefty, so he probably would have dominated me,

608
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 3: but his cousin, Justin Spiers, I was three for eight

609

00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 6: You know.

621
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 4: I used to have to come off the bench and

622
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 4: pinch it against this guy, you know, go on the

623
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 4: on deck circle.

624
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 3: They'd bring him in and.

625
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 4: Then he just he just punched my ticket.

626
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 6: So I thank you for that.

627
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 3: Man.

628
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 8: Oh, I guess you're welcome. I'm sorry, I don't know

629
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 8: what to say.

630
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 3: I'm happy. I'm happy. Man.

631
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 6: Life's good.

632
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 3: Life's good. Have you seen his strikeout numbers, like justin

633
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 3: Joel was it thirty twenty one to one strikeout to

634
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 3: walk ratio last year? So he was punching everybody's ticket

635
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 3: last year. It's fun.

636
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 8: Strikeouts are my you know, it's the most fun you

637
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 8: have out there is striking guys out.

638
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 6: That's what you do.

639
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 3: So you're not just but you're not just a lefty specialist.

640
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 3: I mean you punch lefties and righties thout.

641
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, you know, it's taking some work to

642
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 8: get to that point. I you know, righty's always have

643
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 8: hit slightly better off of me, and this last year,

644
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 8: just having that four seam that I could throw into

645
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 8: them and up really was a game changer for me.

646
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 8: It was, you know, I would I think there were

647
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 8: some pretty big splits there early on, but last year

648
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 8: I was able to kind of clean those up. And

649
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 8: I think that that's I attribute that to the forcing

650
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 8: fastball to arieties for ninety seven.

651
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that helps.

652
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's insane. Sorry A j But you

653
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: guys are just talking about the strikeout to walk ratio.

654
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: Only one other picture of the three hundred and sixty

655
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: one pitchers were better than you, and that guy just

656
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: won his second cy. Young. I mean, you've got to

657
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: take a lot of pride in that. I mean, being

658
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: able to strike guys out, because in this game, which

659
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: has changed so much over the course of the year,

660
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: is to either you know, guys strike out or hit

661
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: home runs. But you are just dominating regardless of who

662
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: you face. I mean, you got to take a.

663
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 7: Lot of pride in that, yeah, for sure, you know.

664
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 8: And and coming over to the Mariners, they they preach,

665
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 8: you know, dominate the zone. And I think I got

666
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 8: to thank them a lot because they showed me the

667
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 8: numbers on just you know, getting ahead of guys and

668
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 8: just being on the attack, being on the offense as

669
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 8: a pitcher, I think that's really hew And just limiting

670
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 8: free bases is so huge and just really challenging guys,

671
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 8: and you know, you find yourself in a lot more

672
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 8: to strike counts when you're you know, on the attack,

673
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,479
Speaker 8: and then once you get to two strikes you can

674
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 8: kind of go from there and maybe expand a little

675
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 8: bit and you know, it worked out last year and

676
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 8: I you know, hoping to carry it into this year

677
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 8: as well.

678
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was gonna be my question. The Seattle Mariners.

679
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: What have they done for you? And it sounds like

680
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 4: it's been more of a mentality than it has been

681
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 4: you know, physical adjustments.

682
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, absolutely.

683
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 8: I remember when I got claimed off waivers coming to

684
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 8: the Mariners, I was expecting, you know, we want you

685
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 8: to grip your slider a different way, we want you

686
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 8: to throw add new pitches and whatnot. But it was

687
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 8: quite the opposite. It was really you know, we claimed

688
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 8: you off waivers because we like what you're doing already.

689
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 8: We just need you to throw it in the zone

690
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 8: more and be more aggressive. And and you know, I

691
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 8: wouldn't say it was easy for me, but I really

692
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 8: just kind of put all my marbles into that basket

693
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 8: of really just attacking and and then you know, the

694
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 8: results fall and confidence followed, and then I was kind

695
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 8: of able to, you know, just have that snowball effect

696
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 8: and and really just keep attacking guys. And you know,

697
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 8: it became easier and easier as I went. I guess

698
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 8: That's what I'm trying to say.

699
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 3: Kay, did you know that we were teammates for about

700
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 3: two months. I didn't realize this, not even months, about

701
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 3: three two weeks.

702
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 7: Really when you were brave, Oh my gosh.

703
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you were really a brave, but you

704
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 3: were like a brave. So teople that don't know Gabe

705
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 3: was traded. You came up. You were originally with the

706
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 3: Red Sox and you got traded to the Tigers for Cesspadoes,

707
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 3: which is kind of nice. Yeah, that's cool, and for

708
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 3: Rick Pricello and then you went to the Diamondbacks right

709
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 3: for Ian Kroll, Ian Croll and you for cam Maven.

710
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's I went to the Braves in that trade.

711
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. And then two weeks later they traded you and

712
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 3: Shelby Miller for Dansby and Er and Aaron Blair. Yeah,

713
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 3: your teammates technically for those for about two weeks.

714
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 7: That's crazy.

715
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.

716
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, I never wore a Brave Braves jersey

717
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 8: in my life, you know. I was part of that organize,

718
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 8: like you said, for two weeks in the off season. So,

719
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 8: but that's funny.

720
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 3: So good thing you don't get tattoos of all the

721
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 3: teams you've.

722
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 8: Been No, no, no, because I would have be covered. Yeah.

723
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, how crazy of a journey if you you mentioned

724
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 4: going from you know, getting claimed off waivers to the

725
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 4: Mariners now about to pitch for Team USA. You know,

726
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 4: could you envision that maybe four or five years ago.

727
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 8: No, you know, it's it's it's been crazy for me

728
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 8: to kind of take a step back and reflect on,

729
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 8: you know, how I've gotten to this point. It's been

730
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 8: a windy road, but you know, I wouldn't change it.

731
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 8: I've I've made a lot of good friends in each

732
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 8: organization I've been with, learned a lot from different coaches

733
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 8: in each organization I've been with, And you know, it's

734
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 8: it's the road I've been on. Like I said, it's

735
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 8: been windy, but it has gotten me to this point,

736
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 8: so I wouldn't change it. It's been learned a lot,

737
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 8: and I'm happy to be a Mariner. I feel at

738
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 8: home here and hopefully I can pitch here in a

739
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 8: Mariner's uniform for a long time.

740
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: Day Big Sonica logan Gilbert told us your big sauna guy,

741
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: So I need to know how particular you are when

742
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: picking out the sauna. What are the things you have

743
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: to have?

744
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 8: Oh, it has to be a traditional sauna over infrared.

745
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 8: I like the actual heater with the rocks and you

746
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 8: can throw the water on it and steam it up

747
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 8: in there. But yeah, no, the Mariners have one in

748
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 8: the clubhouse, and I was in there quite a bit

749
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 8: and and it didn't force me, but I really wanted

750
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,120
Speaker 8: to get one of my own to put in my house,

751
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 8: and and I did. I pulled the trigger and got

752
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 8: one installed in my house and I'm in there every night.

753
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 8: It's it's part of the routine now, it's relaxing. I

754
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 8: feel like it helps with my recovery. And I get

755
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 8: my wife in there too. It's it's become a little

756
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 8: u you know, ritual of ours. So it's a good

757
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 8: time and I really do enjoy it.

758
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 3: Are you super particular a lot of it? I wonder

759
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 3: if you have like an exact temperature or you like

760
00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 3: it has to be at two hundred and one degree.

761
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, it's like normally I go two hundred for

762
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 8: twenty minutes and bored.

763
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 3: Though because I try to do it, because I can't

764
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 3: take my I'm afraid my phone's gonna blow up in

765
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 3: the sauna. Yeah, for twenty minutes.

766
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 8: I you know, breathe, work on my try to like

767
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 8: meditate and relax, you know, the first ten minutes, and

768
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 8: when it's two hundred degrees it's it's really hot in there.

769
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 8: In the first ten minutes is relaxing, and then the

770
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 8: next ten minutes is a bit of a grind and

771
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 8: you really gotta kind of dig deep, work on your

772
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 8: breathing and all that. But when you get out, you

773
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 8: just feel so refreshed. And I do it at night

774
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 8: before bed, so it helps me fall asleep off faster

775
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 8: right to bed, or just I mean I should I

776
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 8: rinse it off, because if you go.

777
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 3: Sauna right to bed, there's no way your wife's allowing you.

778
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 7: No, no, no, no.

779
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 8: I I probably go in and then have about an

780
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 8: hour before I go to sleep. It's I, you know,

781
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 8: cool off, and cause even if you you rinse off,

782
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 8: you're still sweating after, so you need to take a second.

783
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 8: I like to stretch a little bit because you're you know.

784
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 3: You're hot in the sauna.

785
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 8: It's not quite big enough. I gotta like a two

786
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 8: persons onner. So there's a there's a couple of things

787
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 8: I can do in there.

788
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 3: But the other day I was in one and it

789
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 3: was a it was at a country club and there

790
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 3: was a guy in there stretching and it was like

791
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 3: the most awkward thing. I'm in the corner, sitting there

792
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 3: in the corner, all all scrunched up, and he's like

793
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 3: bending over, touching his toes with just a towel. I'm like,

794
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 3: this is really awol.

795
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 7: You should get your own then you don't have to

796
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 7: worry about that.

797
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 4: Hey that that that playoff share money made a little

798
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 4: easier to buy that sauna, I'm sure.

799
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's always nice, you know it is.

800
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 7: It's a like it was.

801
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 8: I was just telling somebody earlier, like the postseason it

802
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 8: was like the best part of last season, absolutely, but

803
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 8: also the hardest part. You know, I've never pitched in

804
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 8: the postseason, and you know, I've been done in the

805
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 8: end of September every year, and that extra you know,

806
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 8: three weeks of baseball. It's tough on the body and

807
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 8: all that. But like I said, also the best part

808
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 8: of last season. But you know, that playoff share it

809
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 8: was nice to see hit the Bay account and so yeah,

810
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 8: I can't complain about that.

811
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

812
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 4: I had asked Logan about, you know, being in the

813
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 4: dugout when Cal Rowley hit that home winning Game five.

814
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 4: It was one of the best atmospheres, you know, I'd

815
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 4: ever seen in a baseball stadium.

816
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 3: Were you still in the.

817
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 4: Bullpen during that time?

818
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 3: And what was kind of that view from the bullpen?

819
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 4: Where had you already come in the game.

820
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 8: I had already pitched. I was in the dugout. But yeah,

821
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 8: I mean, Cal he did it all season long. It

822
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 8: was like, you know, at times it's almost expected for

823
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 8: him to go yard, but I mean, that was such

824
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 8: a big moment, and you know, super happy for Cal.

825
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 8: He's he hasn't changed at all. You know, some people

826
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 8: hit the limelight and they changed a little bit. He's

827
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 8: he's been the same guy. He's you know, he's the

828
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 8: leader of this team. He's a grinder back there in

829
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 8: the plate, and you know he hits from both sides

830
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 8: of them. He's just so special, such a special player

831
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 8: and so special for this organization, this team.

832
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: Dabe, tell me about the tats I think you have

833
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: on your knees, right, I can see some tats.

834
00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, I've got up both my thighs. I've

835
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 8: got one on my shin here, I've got my arms.

836
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 8: I was kind of going hard there for a little bit.

837
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 8: I haven't had one in a couple of years now.

838
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 8: I had my son two years ago and and that

839
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 8: slowed the tattoo process down a little bit.

840
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 3: Go full body? Well, would you go full body?

841
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 7: You know, it's hard to say. I mean, it's I

842
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 7: think I would.

843
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 8: I don't know if I would have like my neck

844
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 8: and face done, but you know, I'd like to continue

845
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 8: on my arms, maybe creep onto the my chest a

846
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 8: little bit or something like that, but full body probably not.

847
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 7: But are you I definitely want more.

848
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,919
Speaker 1: What about your left arm? Did you tat your because

849
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: a lot of guys won't tat the arm that they

850
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: throw with. Do you have them on your left?

851
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 6: Yes?

852
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 8: The first tattoo I ever got was on my left arm.

853
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 8: It was right here as my grandpa had passed away,

854
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 8: and I got a little remembrance tattoo for him. But yeah,

855
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 8: I mean I have I think I have more on

856
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 8: my on my left arm than I do on my right.

857
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,439
Speaker 8: So I need to go under my right and even

858
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 8: it out. But I said, it's just slowed down since

859
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 8: I had my son. It's just it's just not as

860
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 8: much of a priority now, I guess. But I do

861
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 8: need to make some time and go get more because

862
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 8: I do.

863
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 3: I do want more.

864
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 4: Is there a Team USA one coming here soon?

865
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 3: If you guys win the gold?

866
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 6: Uh?

867
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 8: You know, I haven't considered that. Maybe if we win

868
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 8: the gold, you know, I'd have to consider it, but uh,

869
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 8: I'm not going to commit to anything just yet.

870
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 3: How excited are you for it? Talk about how excited

871
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 3: you are to pitch for the USA.

872
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 8: So excited I mean to to be able to wear

873
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 8: USA across the chest and play the game I love

874
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 8: is is a dream come true. You know, we were

875
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 8: talking about it earlier. I never really expected this, so

876
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 8: it was a bit of a shock to me to

877
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,400
Speaker 8: get the call, and when I did, it was it

878
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 8: was a no brainer for me. I mean, just such

879
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 8: a such a cool event to be a part of

880
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 8: and to be in that locker like I feel like

881
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 8: it fully hasn't hit me yet. But once I feel

882
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 8: like I put the jersey on and get in that

883
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 8: locker room with some of those guys, it's gonna be like,

884
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 8: oh my gosh, this is this is crazy. And you know,

885
00:38:58,239 --> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 8: I've talked to some of the guys in the clubhouse

886
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 8: that have played in the WBC and they just say

887
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 8: it's it's an experience like no other, and just just

888
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 8: looking forward to getting to going.

889
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 3: Who are you most excited about meeting?

890
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 8: I mean Clayton Kershaw, is you know tired, Yeah, but

891
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 8: he's playing I know, no, he he jumps to the

892
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 8: top of my mind for sure.

893
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,760
Speaker 7: Just you know, arguably the best picture of our generation.

894
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 8: And just just to be able to shake his hand

895
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 8: and and you know, talk to him about pitching is

896
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 8: something I'm really looking forward to.
