Logan, 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.160 thanks so much for being with us. Great to see you. 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:18.640 I know, everyone shows up to camp in the best 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:21.319 shape of their life. Everyone's ready to go. But you 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.560 guys have a lot to be excited about. What are 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:27.160 you most excited about when it comes to this twenty 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:29.520 twenty six M squad? 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.440 Yeah, I think the expectations this year just seems a 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:35.280 little different. Of course, we made the playoffs, so a 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:38.160 few years back, broke the streak and for a little 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:40.279 bit it was kind of make the playoffs or win 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.400 the division, and things changed last year and we saw 0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.080 how good we can be and how close we got. 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.760 So this year already, a lot of the meetings that 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.720 talk has just been the expectations that we see ourselves 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:51.760 as one of the best teams. 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.720 Have you recovered from last year? Yeah? 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.280 Yeah, yeah, feeling good physically, Not physically I'm talking mentally, 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.400 because yeah, I mean I was in obviously you know 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:03.440 that I was there for the Alds against Tigers, which 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.520 was one of the greatest series I've ever seen been 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:06.959 a part of. 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.200 Game five was unbelievable. You guys pulled it out right, 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.440 and then you go to the next series against the 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:16.480 Bluejas and have another unbelievable series inner so close. Just 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.880 how do you get over that? Yeah, it's very taxing. 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.760 It's like the coolest thing to be a part of 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.959 that mentally, but also you're it's very high highs and 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.679 low lows too, so it takes a while in a 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.280 good way. You want to reflect on it and like 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.160 let it sting for a little bit and motivate you. 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:32.560 But at the same time, this year, I think we 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.760 kind of address it but get past it. At the 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.399 same time, we're a new team and expectations to win 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:37.720 it all. 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:41.560 Yeah, for someone who's never got a chance to play 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.800 in the World Series but lost some tough games, you know, 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:45.520 getting a chance to go to the World Series, what 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.240 are those conversations like with your teammates in the offseason 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.640 where you guys just continuingly, you know, pushing each other 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.280 to just get a little bit better because you know 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:54.840 you were so close to getting over that hume. 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.120 Definitely, I think bringing nails back right away was the 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.640 biggest thing, and for a moment and the team and 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.520 all that, But a lot of those conversations I think 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.320 took place right afterwards, just getting back to Seattle Pack 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.640 in your locker, Like we're talking about the sting of 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.839 being so close and losing, but at the same time 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.760 we were talking just different guys whoa cal bryce like 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.160 how close we got and also the team that we 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.840 have that you know, like I said, let it hurt 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.799 for a little bit, but also motivate us and come 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.400 up next year and not come up short. 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.960 What does that look like? Because he's mentioned bringing back nails, right, 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:32.560 he lost Geno, but then you bring in Donovan. You 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.120 have a lot of essentially the same team back that 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.680 was really good last year. Now you guys are the 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:41.079 favorites in this division, right, everyone's looking at you guys 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.280 to not only be the favorites of the division, but 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.919 possibly represent the American League. That's different here for Seattle then, 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:48.600 like you mentioned, so how do you deal with the 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.679 expectations and what does Dan say? Dan Wilson say, Yeah, 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.239 I think it's where we want to be. It's fun. 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.160 You want the target on your back and it's a 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.160 big honor. Like we know we have a good division. 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.840 We know the aos stacked. There's a lot of good teams. 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.160 Be the top team at the beginning, it's a big deal. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.800 But at the same time, like honestly, it means nothing. 0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:06.960 You have to go out there, you have to prove 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:08.720 it every single day. We have to win the games 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.119 that matter. And Dan at the Helm, he's the man. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:12.960 He gets it. 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.519 The players love him. He feels like a player still. 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.880 He's setting the tone the right way from the get go. 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.560 Yeah for someone who was drafted, you know, and his 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.440 only pitch for the Mariners, take me inside kind of 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.880 your head. You're dugout during Game five when cal Rawly 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:30.720 hits that home run to tie the game, and then 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.880 ultimately Gino goes and hits that home run. I mean, 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.440 you know, I got a chance to play in the postseason. 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.240 That was one of the greatest postseason atmospheres I've ever 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:39.840 ever seen. 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:41.840 Yeah, it was crazy. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.480 There's the loudest I've heard anything ever any stadium, any game. 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.080 The fans in Seattle just going crazy. You can tell 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.240 how long they've waited for something like that. All of 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.200 us really, like you're talking about getting drafted here in eighteen. 0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.640 This has been the vision for years of what the 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.400 team could be, where we could make it, and for 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.800 years it was just kind of like seeing it. We're 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.160 almost there, We're almost there, and then last year we 0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.840 actually got to taste of it that after seven or 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.800 eight years, like this is what we wanted to happen. 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.280 But at the same time, it can't be a one 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.480 year thing. We want to be that team for five 0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:15.440 ten years. That every year is right there in the hunt, Logan. 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.839 I'm here for the hard hitting questions, only the stuff 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.640 that people want to know. You are a knicker style 0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:24.160 pant wearing guy, and all of a sudden, you're showing 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.400 up in long pants and I need to know, Logan, 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:27.479 what is happening? 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:31.719 Why that got canceled? That didn't work out for me. 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.920 I just I just wanted to change it. It's been 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.080 like since high school or college that I tried that, 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.440 and I always thought I would do it like last 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.200 game of a season or something. But I can't bring 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:48.159 myself to not take an outing seriously, even if it's 0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.760 just my pants. So I figured live VPS probably the 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.400 most relaxed setting I could try it out, and it 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:53.880 didn't work. 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:55.640 So I'm back at pants up. Alani you have to 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.480 understand that he's tall and skinny, so the short good. 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:00.960 When you're short, it doesn't look good. 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.680 Imagine how much taller he would even look in. I mean, 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.240 you're six six, so long pants it's gonna elongate you 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.599 even more. That is a menacing site on the mound looking. 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.360 I was told it didn't look good though I was taller, 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.560 but didn't look good at the same time. So I 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:18.360 learned my lessons. 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.279 So up here, so a lot of up here. There's 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:22.039 a mural of like all the great A lot of 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:23.359 the great, not all of them, A lot of the 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.520 great Mariners. Most of them except for Felix, have long 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:30.080 pants on. So would you go the Raula Banya's baggy 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.040 look or would you go the Randy Johnson? These are 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.840 way too tight, tapered, tight, rolled at the bottom line. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.880 I mean, Randy looks good. It's intimidating, but I don't 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:38.320 know if I can pull it off. Cal told me 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.400 today they were too tight, that's the problem. So I 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.640 think maybe I go backwards with the baggy ones. 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.000 Try that out. Yeah, someone showed me a picture of 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.480 me from like twenty ten and my pants were like pajamas. Yeah, 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.440 that was the look style, and we were jerseys baggy. 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:55.080 Now everyone's gone super tight. Yeah, and it's like it'll 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.560 go back to baggy. It always does it always, it 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:58.520 always reverts back. 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.000 Yeah, I got I got two for you. I want 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.440 to know just I mean, obviously win all healthy, best 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.320 starting staff in baseball. I want to know about your guys' 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.120 kind of friendly competition with each other. You guys always 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:13.040 consistently trying to one up each other. Someone goes out 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.440 there throw seven, I'm saying I'm throwing eight. The next 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.160 guy's trying to go nine. And then I was kind 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.760 of always what's the word envious? I guess I love 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.159 the way that you're starting pitchers come out of the 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.800 bullpen and your high five routine. Kind of how that 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:27.520 kind of started. 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.560 Yeah, I guess since I got here really and I 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.039 actually just ran into Marco yesterday with the pods now, 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:36.840 but he was the one that was kind of the 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:39.400 older guy when I got here, and establishing the culture 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.680 and watching each other's bullpens every single day, being out 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.719 there before the game to be ready for the starter 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.719 coming in. It's just kind of the culture, at least 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.640 on the pitching side, that we do that kind of stuff. 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.720 I know the hitters have their things too, but we've 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.480 always been a tight knit group, and like you're saying, 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:58.360 we the competition and internally is really fun because guys 0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:00.640 have really good years that you want to top somebody else. 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.880 Guys have really good games that you want to top them. 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:04.720 So it brings out the best side of us. 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.239 New sponsor alert shout out to Seat Geek over thirty 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:12.760 five million downloads, the number one rated ticketing app. It 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:14.560 is that time of year two and you can see 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.200 the code at the bottom.

Yeah, 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:00.640 all the chances are a keep throwing that. Do you 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:02.520 ever get tired of beating the crap out of cow 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:03.520 with that split? Never? 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.240 That's the fun part of it. Swinging missus okay too, 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.480 but I like just bury it on them. 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.040 Well yeah, but people swing and miss when it's in 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:12.319 the dirt. Yeah, when it's up here. 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:14.120 Yeah. 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:15.679 Yeah. Did you ever come to you and be like 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:16.640 dude all the time? 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.040 Seriously, all the time I hear him talking behind my 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:20.240 back to it gets back to me. 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.640 Does it? I hear it when you? Uh? Was it 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.120 the postseason? It was in Detroit series? Was it you 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:27.160 that threw the split and you missed it for a passball? 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:28.800 And it was the first. I think it was the 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.720 first the whole year it was. It's not fair that 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:36.840 should go on your record like a knuckleball. Like, no, 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:38.840 if you were a pitcher, you would be on my side. 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:41.520 You would know that it can't ever be our fault, right, 0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.480 it has to be somebody else. Yeah, but that thing 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.640 was so nasty. And I remember the stat when I 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.960 looked at the stat and it was it was the 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.200 first pass ball he had all year. Yeah, and he 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.079 caught like one hundred and thirty games. 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:54.560 It didn't even sound real. And somehow not being up 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.160 for a Gold Glove. I don't want to be together, 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.760 but he, I mean, that's no passball is in a 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:00.400 whole season. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.280 He won the Platinum year ago. It doesn't get it 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.679 didn't make sense to me that it wasn't even nominated. 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.040 But that's I beat the drump for the m v 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:12.400 P all year, so should have been. Yeah, but you're biased. 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.920 I'm biased of a catcher, I get it. But yeah, yeah, 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:16.320 that was one of the craziest stats. 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.280 I mean I think he should have gotten it. I mean, 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.240 cal there's no reason that cal If I understand it. 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.160 Went's Aaron Judge, but come on, I mean, and logan 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.840 to that horn for him. I mean, this is a 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:31.240 guy that the home runs. Everything he's doing, not to 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.199 mention everything he's doing behind the plate to get you 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:35.200 guys through a game. 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.839 Yeah, nobody's done it all like him. People have had 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.960 good seasons, but he did everything at an elite level 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.840 that if it doesn't go to him then then it's like, 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:46.559 I don't know how. I don't know how it ever 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.720 goes to a catcher for for doing every piece of 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.640 what he's doing. Nothing against Aaron Judge. I still have 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:56.040 to face him this year at some point. So got him. 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.800 Great player. Can't say anything bad, but cal Cal is very, 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:00.199 very good. 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:01.199 I think he was well deserving. 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:05.240 Yeah, I was just gonna say, I mean, you know, 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.360 we give cal a lot of credit for what he 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.640 was able to do offensively, but just I mean, you're 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.360 someone who works with him every single day. You're pitching staff, 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:15.080 and I mean you got five monsters and your pitching 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.000 staff all throwing, you know, from different angles and different stuff. 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.520 You know, just kind of like Alana said, just kind 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.000 of give him his flowers for what he's able to 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:24.120 do behind the plate as well. 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.760 Yeah, he's so good at it, knowing what works for 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:31.280 different people. Arsenals approaches sequences also like what gets you right. 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:34.040 He knows the language to use with us that makes 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.959 us the best version of ourselves. It's hard enough focusing 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:38.720 on your own career, I know, and I only have 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.120 to play thirty times a year. He's playing every single 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.960 day and worrying about twelve other guys thirteen other guys too, 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:45.720 and then putting up sixty homers. 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.959 It's it's unreal. It'll be fun to see what he does. 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:49.920 Do you a yeller at her? Or you? You need 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.480 kind all to come out there and yell at you. 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.320 Are you a joke? Do you need a joke? What 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.400 does he put his arm around you and coddle you? 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:56.600 What does he do for you? 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:58.920 He's been saying he thinks I need a joke here 0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:00.280 and there, and I keep telling him that that's not 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.320 that's not the I he knows when it get on 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.520 me at the right times. I like that he knows 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.680 he has good feel for the people in the situation. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:11.079 It's not all the time you prefer. I like when 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.559 he when he brings some attitude every once in a while. 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.320 So if he comes out of your mask on it, 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.839 puts his glove over his face, he's like, you suck, 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.839 what's wrong with you? And then you're like laughing, and 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:22.719 you know what he's saying, you need that every once 0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:27.600 in a while. I agree with that. I agree, okay, Logan. 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.080 Gave's fires up after you. What's something we should know 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:31.880 about Gabe that we don't know? 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.880 Oh Man, something about Gabe. 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.680 Gosh, I'm trying to think if I know anything about Gabe. 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.680 Oh so oh no, no, Aloni, this is perfect starting pictures. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.000 They can't hang out with the bullpen guy. They're the five, 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.720 they're the group five. They have to stick together. Saved 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.319 like twenty runs a year for me. So I can 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.920 only say good things about him. Uh, I don't know. 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.520 He's got a son that's been out here. He's one 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.200 hanging out at the field every day. Maybe asked about 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.280 that or Team USA. He's got a lot going on. 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:05.720 He loves a sauna back at home. 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:12.760 He's big. Did you have any I didn't hear much 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:13.559 nont here much. 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:14.240 I hear much. 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.160 I mean skiing scooble web. Gilbert would have been a nice. 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.880 Yeah, there's some good other pictures.

Good luck this year. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:32.760 Man. 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:35.240 We can't wait to see you guys back in that postseason. 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:36.840 Yeah, I appreciate it. Thanks for having me on. 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.000 Welcome back to foul territory. Everybody. You can see that 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.280 we are at Mariners camp of course today A J. Pierzinski, 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.440 Kevin Palara, Alana Rizzo with you, and Rob Refsnyder sitting 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.760 next to Aj. Nice to see Rob in an M's UNI. 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.440 Not quite used to it yet coming over from the 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.080 Boston Red Solide. Rob, good to be with you. You 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.680 guys were just talking off camera about the fact that 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:00.720 you know you're still doing it. Kevin said that if 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.080 he had that swing, he'd still be playing too. What 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.440 are you excited the most about in terms of getting 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.000 going with the M's obviously a team that has sites 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:09.240 getting back to the postseason. 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.520 Yeah, I mean you can kind of feel the the 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.600 excitement even though like kind of the sense of urgency 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:18.320 even in spring training. They had such a great run 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.920 last year and added some some really good pieces with it, 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.560 with like Donovan and things like that. So now it's 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.240 a it's an exciting camp and you can kind of 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:30.960 feel it. You know, everyone's pretty focused and yeah, definitely. 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.560 What have they said to you as far as role 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:34.400 wise on this team? Are you're gonna do what you 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.400 normally do just bash lefties, play kind of all around 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.720 the outfield and just mash. Yeah, I mean Jerry Justin. 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.840 Dan's communication has been pretty pretty amazing honestly all off season, 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.800 even in camp, so a lot of looks against lefties 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.600 and mixing in the outfield. So yeah, but the communication 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.840 has been, you know, incredible so far. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.480 Hey, Rob, what changed for you? 0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.360 Because we were teammates in twenty seventeen in Toronto and 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.000 you kind of bounced around and then you end up 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.000 in Boston and find a home there for a couple 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.840 of years. You know, what's changed with you? Swing wise, 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.440 mentality wise, because you know, you were one of those 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.520 guys that was kind of a four A player and 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.520 now you know, four years later, you're one of the 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.720 best left handed you know, specialists in the game. 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:21.160 Yeah, I guess, uh. 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:23.120 I mean at that time, I had really no like 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:25.240 identity as a ball player. I was I was mixing 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:29.440 in a bunch of different positions and really kind of 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.760 lost with my swing and really what I wanted to 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.200 focus on and kind of what I knew I could 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:37.040 handle what I couldn't. So, you know, at that time, 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.840 I was just searching, honestly, and but I had some 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:43.320 really really good teammates at you know, with with Kevin 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.480 and Steve Pierce at the time helped me a lot. 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.320 I don't think he really realized how much he helped 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.880 me at the time, but he really wanted me to 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:51.960 just kind of simplify it. And then you know, I 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:56.000 met some incredible hitting coaches. Kevin Knows, uh, Pete Fatsy 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:59.800 with the Red Sox, Uh, Cody Atkinson Uh. Now I 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:04.280 think assistant with Toronto, a couple others. I'm leaving a 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:08.240 couple out, but Borgs hitting coach now with the Nationals. 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.160 So without those guys, I'd be, you know, at home 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:13.560 doing something else. So a lot of credit goes to 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:14.359 those hitting coaches. 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:19.480 Yeah, man, was the one approach? 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:24.000 Was it in like twenty seventeen. It was big on 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:28.160 just like I don't know, it was like pull side air, 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:29.879 but no one really knew how to teach it. So 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.800 we had all this information and my assuming was just 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:36.159
