Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, good.

30
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you're just trying to just obsess

31
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: on building guys up, you know, getting the pictures they're right,

32
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: throwing programs and built properly.

33
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 4: And same with position players.

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: You know, I stare at the board all day, like okay,

35
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: trying to play it out over the next four or

36
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: five weeks, making sure they get the right amount of

37
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: it bats. They're eventually playing back to backs and good

38
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: volume of innings.

39
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, but so far, so good.

40
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: And I mean our upgrading facility has been awesome.

41
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 4: Did you guys walk through it at all?

42
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: That door? But it looks great?

43
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: No, it's it's it's pretty awesome, pretty show, Yeah and stuff.

44
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: That's awesome. It's awesome.

45
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: Do guys tell you how many at bats they need?

46
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 3: Because we were talking to Cut yesterday he said he

47
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: needed ten, He said.

48
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: He needed thirty five to forty.

49
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, most guys don't know, they really, you know,

50
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: like the biggest thing, like with some of the veteran

51
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: guys I like to do is do do you like

52
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: playing more often initially and less? Which is something I

53
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: like to do, but as opposed to you know, they're

54
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: able to get so many facility wise, you're able to

55
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: just get so many good looks that we weren't able

56
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: to get. Well you were your your closer, like like

57
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: these guys are able to replicate things like when they're

58
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: not on a trip, they're getting a ton of at bats,

59
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: live at bats and things like that. So the biggest

60
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: thing is just building them to that point to where

61
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: when we head to head north, like I want our

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: regulars to have played two three in a row where

63
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: they're playing seven eight innings that way. All of a

64
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: sudden you get into the start of the season and

65
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: you know they're playing ten in a row.

66
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 4: Like it's not there. It doesn't wig out their body

67
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 4: too much.

68
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: The likes anybody come into camp, surprise you, anybody looking

69
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: better than you thought, worse than I mean, you're not

70
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 2: gonna say worse, but anybody anybody in camp that you said, Wow,

71
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: this guy has done.

72
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: Tyler Matzick, he's been.

73
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: He looks a lot like a few years ago Atlanta

74
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: Brave Tyler matt six.

75
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, so that's been. That's been.

76
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: Really he made he made his game debut yesterday down

77
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: to Fort Myers and was just kind of whole home.

78
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: He looks really good, like easy power tell, really healthy,

79
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: in a good spot.

80
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 4: So he's one of those guys I'm really excited about. Early.

81
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: I got to ask you this, and I've never asked

82
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: a manager of this in my life, but people, you know,

83
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: they asked, crats cratch, you want to manage one to day? Yeah,

84
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: they asked me if you want to not manage with them?

85
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: Like yes, But when you have to make a trip

86
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: to Fort Myers. Yeah, Let's say it's ten to two

87
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: in the seventh in Yeah, and you're sitting over there,

88
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: do you ever just go, Man, there's so many other

89
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: cool things that could be doing right now, especially you

90
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: you have a lot of options like this.

91
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: Well, usually when you're in Fort Myers and it's ten

92
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: to two, things aren't going that great and you're you're

93
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: you know, so you're like, what, Usually to get to

94
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: ten to two, you've seen something with maybe even some

95
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: of your minor league guys that are coming over that

96
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: are like, eh, let's we need to get better in

97
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: this certain area. So not really, there's always, honestly, there's

98
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: always things that you want to see, especially late in

99
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: the game with guys that maybe aren't going to initially

100
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: be with your club that it's important to see them

101
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,160

00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,320

123
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: What do you what do you need to tell us

124
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: to break on the show? Because you broke that Volpi

125
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: was going to be the starting stop. What do you

126
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 3: need to tell us to break on the show this year?

127
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 2: And then we'll let you go?

128
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 4: Well, we will again be the starting shorts.

129
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's fair, we already do that.

130
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: He looks he looks bigger, he looks stronger, so that

131
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 3: means go to be slower. How about is Marshall gonna

132
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 3: be your center fielder?

133
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 4: I want him to be the left fielder?

134
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: Is he gonna be your left fielder?

135
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: He's getting that opportunity and he's certainly capable of grabbing it,

136
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,239
Speaker 1: so hopefully that's the case.

137
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 4: It puts center right, it puts Belly in center.

138
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: And then like when Grish plays, uh Grish plays, then

139
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: I can move Belly wherever, because Belly, I don't care

140
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 1: about today, you're over here, Tomorrow you're there, Whereas I

141
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: don't really want to do that with like a Dominga's

142
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to be moving him back and forth

143
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: if I can help it. So, and with Grish being

144
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: a premium defender center fielder on the days he's playing,

145
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: I want him to play center field and I can

146
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: move belly off of that. So you know, another guy

147
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: that looks really good early here is Ben I was

148
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: gonna ask you three grade at bats yesterday. He's catching, well,

149
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: he's added like he's probably added ten pounds to him

150
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: like he is and like like measurable stuff. It's all

151
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: like really really good weight. He's he's gonna be a

152
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: real hitter in this league.

153
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: Does that?

154
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 3: Does that do you look at start to look at

155
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: guys like that? When judges, I mean, uh, John Carlow's

156
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: elbows start hanging, You're like, well, I got Austin behind

157
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: a dish.

158
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, kind of yeah, you know, depending on if

159
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: G's ready opening day or not. Like, yeah, that could

160
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: factor in how you do some things with that DH spot.

161
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: It allows me to use Judge occasionally in that DH

162
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: the way of getting him off his feet a little bit.

163
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: I would say another thing that I've been really impressed with,

164
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: and you guys will appreciate this as catchers, is I

165
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: think we've got six seven big league catchers in that room,

166
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: whether they're big leaguers already or going to be on

167
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: some level play in the big league. Catchers. Our catching

168
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: crop is really and and we've we've traded some some

169
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: catchers that you know, Narviiah is going to go be

170
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: a real factor for the Red Sox this year.

171
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

172
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: Our our catching Yeah, our catching core is I'm really

173
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: excited about a lot like right now, but a lot

174
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: even like a year two years from now as well.

175
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: You know, Aaronfeld is listening. He listens to all the shows.

176
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 3: He's blushing right now. Oh, he's so fired up about

177
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: you right now.

178
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 2: You're you're his favorite. Okay, before you go, I have

179
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: one more question. Lineup construction. That's fine, Judge well was again,

180
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: hold on, there's a legend. Welcome by Hi Lou.

181
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, little Panela in the house.

182
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 2: Good to see you.

183
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 4: Get you. Yeah, he's got a smooth I don't know.

184
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 2: Melton Radley can't count to three?

185
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 6: What do you want me?

186
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 2: Our seeds in his pocket?

187
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: So I, uh, judge right now, I'm hitting judges second,

188
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: just because we're very left handed, especially with John Carlow out.

189
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: So I would say in that three hole, really it

190
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: depends who I lead off, you know, So I could

191
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: the three hole could be jazz. It could be Belly,

192
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: it could be different against a lefty. So I don't

193
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: know yet.

194
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: What if somebody comes.

195
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: Up to you and it says I got what it

196
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 3: takes to hit behind judges. Would that Would that change

197
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: your view or you like.

198
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh no, because I think they all have that,

199
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: the ones that are have it.

200
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, Belly jazz.

201
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 3: You don't have nine guys that could hit behind judge. No,

202
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 3: there's probably four.

203
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but there's some you're not even thinking yet that

204
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: might factor in, especially as the season unfolds. But I

205
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: think it'll be jazz.

206
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 4: Jazz.

207
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: Well who do I who?

208
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: No, I'm saying verse a righty say, I would say jazz,

209
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: left Belly could be leading off or do Mingez or

210
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:10,599
Speaker 1: Austin Wells.

211
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 4: I mean because so we'll see.

212
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: Experience doing it. Yeah, Belly is the answer.

213
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 4: He's hitting big lineups behind him. That's where I'm right now.

214
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 4: But we'll see, we'll see that's that's the answer.

215
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: We'll see and then g coming back then changes because

216
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 1: now you've got the righty in the middle and I

217
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: got Goldie, so we'll figure it out.

218
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 2: Good problem. By the way, I have to say this,

219
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 2: I was not a fan when he had his hat on.

220
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: But when you came out with the pants, it looks

221
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 2: really good.

222
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: So when I first put it on, like first day

223
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: of camp, I was like looking a little rough, especially

224
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: my pin head. I gollow, great kazoo thing going on,

225
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: and then it's it's grown on me this since game.

226
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 2: Do you see what the pants? And I can only

227
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: imagine if you had the jersey on, it would look good,

228
00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: not bad. You match, you're together? Thank you? Yep? You know. Yeah,

229
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 2: that's fine. You know what that means. You guys. Take

230
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: it away.

231
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 5: Here you got ten minutes later. I'm gonna go grab

232
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 5: a cocktail. It's gonna be fun.

233
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: We want to hear your voice.

234
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 6: Okay, you hear me, We could hear you.

235
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 2: We're good.

236
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

237
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 2: Here myself, I'm gonna ask you the first question. You're

238
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: clean shaven? What happened?

239
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 6: Yeah? So I don't really grow much, so I'm just

240
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 6: it's more of a trim down.

241
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 7: It's like to me, it's like there was a step

242
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 7: that was skipped in my life from a you know,

243
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 7: adolescents transitional stage. So I don't really get any beard.

244
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 7: I don't really get anything outside of maybe a little goate.

245
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 7: So I just trim it down because it feels like

246
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 7: very high school stringy type.

247
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 6: Just a bad look.

248
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, just I mean, I don't know, nasty,

249
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 7: that's that, that seems aggressive, maybe just from my own confidence.

250
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 6: I just look in the mirror and I say no thanks.

251
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 2: By the way, speaking of I saw an interview with

252
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: you at Florida State. You looked exactly the same.

253
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 6: Maybe a little longer hair. You did have longer hair, yeah.

254
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: I mean face wise, there's no wrinkles on your face.

255
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 2: There are some women watching this and want to know

256
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 2: what your skincare routine.

257
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 8: You know.

258
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 7: I think you just got to trust the process. You

259
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 7: think you just I think I have more to give.

260
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 7: I think there's more to learn for sure. But it's

261
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 7: good enough for my wife, and we have two kids

262
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 7: out of it, so there's confirmation for there.

263
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: There's confirmation that you have the good looks.

264
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 7: Well, I will all confirmed it to not to deny it.

265
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 7: So it was agreed to disagree.

266
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 2: Okay, I like it. I like it. We just saw

267
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: Devin Williams walk by.

268
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, great, guy, do we know the.

269
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 2: Rules if this is Boone had to talk with you

270
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: guys about like you closed a lot of games for

271
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: him last year, Williams substitute. But you did great substitute.

272
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 6: Just a really cool substitute teacher, right.

273
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 2: Pretty good. I mean Ira, you guys were in the

274
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 2: World Series and you were the closer. Wow.

275
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 6: Maybe maybe.

276
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 7: So you know, we go into spring training obviously we

277
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 7: know his pedigree, we know what he does. And so

278
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 7: for me, I knew the Yankees or the Yankees, right,

279
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 7: they're gonna go out, They're gonna try to make our

280
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 7: team better and I'm all for that.

281
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 6: So whatever we decide and do, it's all good.

282
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 7: I think, you know, we can read between the lines

283
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 7: and figure out where people are gonna get slot. But

284
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,719
Speaker 7: I don't, you know, I don't live in assumptions. I

285
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 7: just live and man, give me the role and let's

286
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 7: let's get after it. So I think that helped me

287
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 7: a lot last year and really helped me find confidence

288
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 7: to succeed in whatever those mini roles were.

289
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 6: So that's where we're at.

290
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: What what is What are those conversations like not Harky's negativity,

291
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 3: because can be super negative down there toward us position players,

292
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 3: and then he can be positive towards you guys. But

293
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 3: what a those conversations like like let's say you view

294
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: yourself as the closer and two, three, four in the

295
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 3: lineup comes up for the best team besides you guys

296
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: in baseball, and you're like, it's the eighth inning, Like

297
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: I kind of want those guys, but they're saving me

298
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: for the night.

299
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 2: Is that putting your team in a bad situation?

300
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 7: I don't necessarily know, because there's just so many factors.

301
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 7: Like I truly try to look at it as like

302
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 7: I'm watching the game. I have a soft focused I'm

303
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 7: understanding who's coming up, and it's and in the playoffs,

304
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 7: it's kind of all over the place. Right when the

305
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 7: regular season comes, there's just there's a little bit more

306
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 7: structure that comes to it. I don't know how it's

307
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 7: gonna shake out, but I also know that we got

308
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 7: a lot of great options, and you know, the political,

309
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 7: politically right answer is gonna be anybody can get the

310
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 7: job done. So you know, I think there's versatility and

311
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 7: what I think I could bring to the table, and

312
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 7: I think that serves in different ways.

313
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 3: But one more on that, you guys have a lane.

314
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: What you're referring to is everybody has a lane and

315
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 3: they tell you your lane. Are you able to argue

316
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 3: against that lane. You follow what I'm saying, Like I've

317
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: seen the reports. Luke Weaver's got six seven eight in

318
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 3: this lineup because they're going right left right, or this

319
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 3: pitch is working really well. His change ups elite. He's

320
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 3: got left right left. Can you argue against that? Or

321
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: is it like I don't really care, I'm gonna get

322
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: everybody out, Like is that just an easy political an?

323
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 7: Well, that's truly the way I see it. I truly

324
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 7: it does not matter. I mean it used to matter

325
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 7: when I wasn't getting people out and I was like,

326
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 7: can I pick and choose who I want? I don't

327
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 7: want that guy, Yeah, exactly, like you know, maybe getting

328
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 7: autographed after the a bat's over, after they take me deep.

329
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 7: But you know, right now, like I'm prideful in the

330
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 7: sense that I've worked a lot and my process to

331
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 7: get where I'm at, and that comes with just being

332
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 7: like let's go, like it doesn't you know, I know

333
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 7: how to get you out. It's just whether I can

334
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 7: get you out or not. It's whether you win the

335
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 7: bat or where I win the battle. And I think

336
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 7: we both know each other's strength and weaknesses. And so yeah,

337
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 7: there are moments where things match up better for a

338
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 7: certain guy.

339
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 6: It might not even be me.

340
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 7: There was I remember one specific at bat that we

341
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 7: all remember where mister Noel in the playoffs came up,

342
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 7: and that was a terrible matchup for me, Like I

343
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 7: don't have the pitch that he's more susceptible too, right,

344
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 7: But I also know that I had Laine Thomas so too,

345
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 7: and I completely lost the bat to three two and

346
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 7: he hit You know, I came into the zone. I

347
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 7: lost the game in that moment. To me, he came up,

348
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 7: he tied the game. The rest is history. But to me,

349
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 7: it's like you had to understand who you can get

350
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 7: out and who you have a little bit of trouble with,

351
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 7: and you got to kind of go around it and

352
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 7: he wins.

353
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: You changed your delivery last year or did you model

354
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: it after because people a lot of people don't know

355
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 2: the true Yamamoto.

356
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 6: I didn't model it after him.

357
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 7: I just used him as a template to understand more

358
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 7: about what that was going to give me.

359
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 6: I kind of did it by mistake, so to speak.

360
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 7: I kinda was like, eliminated your leg cack, yeah, yeah,

361
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 7: well the limit the leg cake was garbage. I mean,

362
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 7: I mean, it's like it's like throwing out. It's like

363
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 7: you're fishing, right, you got like a big heavy line,

364
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 7: but you're trying to like go top water. It's like, well,

365
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 7: the things is going to sink to the bottom of

366
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 7: your time, You're not going to catch any unless you

367
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 7: got like a mudfish.

368
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 6: Or something flounder.

369
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 7: I don't know what lives down there at the deep

370
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 7: bottom of the ocean, but yeah, there's some there's some

371
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 7: nasty looking fish. But the point was to eliminate and

372
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 7: keep it simple and find a way to like allow

373
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 7: my upper body to move and create the speed and consistency,

374
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 7: because that's how I move as a picture, right, So

375
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 7: I think it was identifying the dead weight, you know,

376
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 7: pun intended really and just pushing into the side and

377
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 7: finding a way to be consistent.

378
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: You know who the Yankees are playing today on the

379
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 2: other side, you know the Cardinals. Yes, So do you

380
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,719
Speaker 2: ever are going to go over there and look at

381
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: mose Lock and say, dude, if you just would have

382
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,520

385
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 7: perked up to see that he was here.

386
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 6: So you know, we'll see how the game unfold.

387
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 2: Your phone on the backfield, you should go into Boom

388
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: and say listen Boone, Matt Blake, Hey guys, he'll come over.

389
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 6: And get a live revenue. Yeah, you can come over.

00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: You can't get left.

391
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,959
Speaker 7: I got twenty five pitches, So whatever happens in that,

392
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 7: whatever happens, it doesn't matter.

393
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who there watching them.

Speaker 7: Judge in my first down in the other day, and

396
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 7: I was like, well, yeah, we're not throwing inside ticket.

397
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 7: I got a couple of swings and then I tried

398
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 7: to get greedy with three fast balls and he he

399
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 7: mishit a ball to that was like warning.

400
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: Track, Like those are smaller fields.

00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 6: I don't know, man.

402
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 7: It was like my daughter was in the field watching

403
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 7: in the stands at the time, and she's like, why

404
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 7: did daddy jump?

405
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 6: Apparently like his daddy was nervous, honey.

406
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 7: So no, I mean, we got some great hitters obviously,

00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 2: have that much energy?

471
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 6: Like look at that? Like his vert has got to

472
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 6: be forty five.

473
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 7: I'm telling you, I don't know what's going on, like

474
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 7: where this game is headed. I mean, it's obviously exciting

475
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 7: in different aspects. You know, we talk about the the

476
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 7: pimping of the home run and allowing guys to be themselves.

477
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 7: I think this is maybe the aversion of what a

478
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 7: picture looks like.

479
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 6: I think a lot of times.

480
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 2: Were like would you been tired?

481
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 8: Though?

482
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: If you did that every time?

483
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 6: I do not want to exert energy until I know

484
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 6: the game's over.

485
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 7: So what do you like, you know, roar or any

486
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 7: type of cool thing I'm trying to do is when

487
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 7: I have a out and I've exerted all my energy

488
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 7: and I know, I have no more because I learned

489
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 7: real quick as a starter, as soon as you burn it,

490
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 7: you don't get it back, and the velo typically drops

491
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 7: and the hitters start to find some contact.

492
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 6: So it's cool to watch.

493
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 7: I mean, his athleticism was unbelievable right there, and I

494
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 7: had to check out his program. But you know, look,

495
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 7: he's he's having fun. He's at the first big leage camp.

496
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 7: Maybe like I don't know, but he looks electric. So

497
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 7: we'll see where. We'll see where that goes, and we'll

498
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 7: see how the vets uh in the league. You know,

499
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 7: take take a nice take a I don't know, and

500
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 7: let's see what it looks like.

501
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: I think. I mean, I don't know. It's a weird

502
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: one because it's spring training and it's like those I

503
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: know he's probably trying to make the team, but like

504
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: those outs. But my thing is when I was hitting

505
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 2: off of him and he did that, I just look

506
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: at him be like, yeah, yeah, I don't even care.

507
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 6: Yeah what makes you feel pretty good?

508
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 7: Right, Like, yeah, he's really excited, Like I could hit

509
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 7: a little bit.

510
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 3: I did know that, yeah, but to him that's just

511
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 3: that's that's his moment and not necessari, it's like, oh,

512
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 3: I got to show everybody in my moment, Like I

513
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 3: get it. It's spring training, you have. We've had this

514
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 3: discussion a lot like this dude's a fringe Hall of

515
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 3: Fame catcher and I was barely in big league camp

516
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 3: some years Like yeah, no, I think everybody's view of

517
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 3: the moment is different.

518
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 7: And I'm one to understand, like what's his background, what's

519
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 7: his story? Like what what gives him that that electricity

520
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 7: that's flowing through his veins is It's like, where's it

521
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 7: deeply rooted? Like once you understand that, I think a

522
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 7: lot of times you see a guy across the field

523
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 7: and you go, I don't really like watching this guy,

524
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 7: you know, and then your teammate's with him. You're like,

525
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 7: this couldn't be more of a one eighty, right, because

526
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 7: you're like that like one soda in the box. You

527
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 7: don't like it when you're facing him, but when he's

528
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 7: on your team, you're like, good graces, this is the

529
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 7: greatest thing I've ever watched.

530
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 6: Right.

531
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 7: So it's just a tone that kind of switches based

532
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 7: off of humanizing the person.

533
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 6: So that's that's how I try to view it.

534
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: I love it happens. Thank you very much. We really

535
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: appreciate you coming out. Go get your ending in. Yeah

536
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 2: twenty five, Yeah, you go, but you don't have a

537
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 2: new updowns, right, so you just do a twenty.

538
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 6: Five that's gonna get yeah, twenty five straight. So it's

539
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 6: gonna be a long, grinding rush.

540
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, I'm gonna have to be low change it

541
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 7: and just try to save some for the back end.

542
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 2: Do they wait to make you cover first on one

543
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: or is that not in the.

544
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 7: Live Usually it's like a pitch out maybe or something

545
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 7: at the end. I think again, Yeah, I'm sure I'll

546
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 7: get enough practice with them hitting them in play, so

547
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 7: I'll just like run over and just do my thing.

548
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 6: But we'll see what happens. It's all good part, hey,

549
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 6: thank y'all.

573
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 5: to you. How are the Yanks looking at camp? And

574
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 5: how would you drop the lineup?

575
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 6: Oh you can't, hey, King.

576
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,320

Speaker 2: to talk. Well, this is the best time when you're

578
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 2: at your best.

579
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 6: He doesn't need to hear me.

580
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 5: I need you guys to run the interviews on.

581
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: What's your favorite restaurant in Tampa? Where do you go at? So? Yes,

582
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 2: how's camp going? How are the Yankees? What's the big

583
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 2: story here in Camp?

584
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 8: I mean, really, it's been kind of a quiet camp,

585
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 8: I knock and all that stuff, I say, with the

586
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 8: exception of although the Marcus Stroman situation and of course

587
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 8: John Carlos Stanton now being out of camp indefinitely going back.

588
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 2: To New York for personal reasons.

589
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 8: But trust me, I've covered since my seventeenth year covering

590
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 8: the Yankees. So on the scale of camp controversy or uh,

591
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 8: you know, really distracting types of things, this would be

592
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 8: at the bottom of the list. And the thing was Stroman,

593
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 8: And maybe we'll get into it a little bit more.

594
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 8: But I know what his reputation has been in other stops,

595
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 8: but he is a beloved teammate in there. He has

596
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 8: no issues whatsoever in the clubhouse, which is, as you

597
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 8: guys know, is all that matters. It doesn't matter what

598
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 8: media narratives are, et cetera. As long as you're good

599
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 8: in the clubhouse. And Stroman is more than good in

600
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 8: that clubhouse, and I can only speak to him in

601
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 8: the Yankees clubhouse.

602
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 2: There's really no issues there.

603
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 8: And you know, the reality is when he said I'm

604
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 8: a starter, and that created a whole bunch of you know, headlines.

605
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 8: A couple of weeks ago, after he missed the first

606
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 8: two days of pitchers and catchers, he actually did speak

607
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 8: the truth. He is a starter and that's what he's

608
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 8: been his entire ten years in the big league, and you.

609
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: Could say pretty highly successful ten years.

610
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 3: Do you feel like there's been any more backlash from

611
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 3: that or was it like something that in the moment,

612
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 3: it was like, oh, it's a big story, it's all

613
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: this and then he came out and he said his piece,

614
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: and nobody could really argue with anything that he said.

615
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 3: It was more of just like, well, I think he

616
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 3: should do this, or I think he.

617
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 8: Should well I think I think people maybe were expecting

618
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 8: him to say, hey, you know, whatever role they want

619
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 8: me in, I'm good with.

620
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the cliche that you guys usually Red

621
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 2: Sox are going through the same thing, right.

622
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 8: Well, talk about right a dramatic difference in terms of

623
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 8: how guys, you know, answer questions, but you know, Marcus

624
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 8: spoke the truth of what he has been in his

625
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 8: entire career as yous guys, you guys know, being through

626
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 8: a ton of spring trainings yourself, what the roster looks

627
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 8: like on February fourteenth or February fifteenth, and what it

628
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 8: looks like when camp breaks in this case on you know,

629
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 8: March twenty fifth or twenty sixth, something like that. You know,

630
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 8: the Yankees have five starters ahead of Marcus Stroman right now.

631
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: That is the absolute truth. Who are the five?

632
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 8: You got three Cole, Free, Rodan, Clark, Schmidt, Louise Heal.

633
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 8: So if all those guys have you know, decent healthy camps,

634
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 8: most important healthy camps, then then the Yankees will have

635
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 8: to make a decision with Stroman. But you know, I

636
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 8: can tell you know, last year, nobody expected Garrett Cole

637
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 8: to leave camp in mid March with with what turned

638
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 8: out to be an inflamed elbow, and he didn't end

639
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 8: up making his debut until mid to lay June. The

640
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 8: year before that, both Carlos Rodan and Nestor Cortez started

641
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 8: the season on the IL. A couple of years before that,

642
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 8: Luis Savarino, you know, throw a bullpen and then before

643
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 8: he was kinda throw in his first game, suddenly got

644
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 8: sent to check something out in his arm and he

645
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 8: had Tommy John surgery. So you know, and you guys,

646
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 8: I'm sure have a myriad of stories from camps that

647
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 8: you guys were in over the years where you know,

648
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 8: one pitcher after another goes down. So if you know,

649
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 8: not that anybody is rooting for that to happen, but

650
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 8: you just don't know what's gonna happen from the start

651
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 8: of the spring until the end. And so Marcus Stroman

652
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 8: is getting built up as a starter, as are you know,

653
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 8: a whole bunch of other guys, because you need what

654
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 8: ten to twelve starters typically to get through a regular season.

655
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 8: So when Stroman says I'm a starter, you know he is,

656
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 8: and I expect him if he's not traded in the Yankees.

657
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: Okay, my question is is let's sell five guys are healthy. Yes,

658
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: then what because everyone that's like the stock answer right, like, oh,

659
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 2: something will happen, It'll work itself out. Let's say it doesn't.

660
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 2: Let's say Schmidt, Heel, Rodan, Freed, and Cole are all

661
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: healthy and they all have a great spring. I'll give

662
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: you an answer, then what I'll give you an answer?

663
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 2: Aj that's going to be what's intriguing to me. It's

664
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: like everyone can say, oh, it works itself out, and

665
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 2: but if it doesn't, nothing but happens someone.

666
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 8: But what you're giving me, and this is what what

667
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 8: players over the years answer the questions this way, and

668
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 8: management managers, owners say that's a hypothetical. It's it's a

669
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 8: it's a fascinating question, and nobody really knows exactly how

670
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 8: it's going to play out. If all of those guys

671
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 8: come through the spring healthy, then it's going to be

672
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 8: a very interesting discussion that they have with the with Stroman.

673
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 8: But here's another element to the if this happens, and

674
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 8: that happens, starters in other organizations are going to get

675
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 8: hurt at some point. And then suddenly Marcus Stroman, even

676
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 8: with the eighteen million that he's owed this year, suddenly,

677
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 8: let's say three starters from a contending team name one

678
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 8: go down, and all of a sudden, Brian Cashman's getting

679
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 8: some calls saying this mark.

680
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 2: Is still available.

681
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 3: That's a hypotheticals. So Eric's writing the story and we're

682
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 3: supposed to listen to it.

683
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: I get it. I get it. Who's going to be there?

684
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: We talk about additions all the time.

685
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 3: Who's going to be their biggest loss from last year's

686
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 3: team because they lost some guys. And I'll give you

687
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 3: some time to think about it, I mean, because yeah,

688
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 3: go ahead.

689
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, look, here's the thing, and one of

690
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 8: the narratives around the Yankees that I've certainly written this too,

691
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 8: is that there is the potential that they are better

692
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 8: top to bottom in their lineup this year than they

693
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 8: were last season with Soto. However, talking to opposing pitchers

694
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 8: to face that duo last year, opposing managers that faced

695
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 8: that duo last year. I had a bench coach in

696
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 8: the American League from another team talking to him right

697
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 8: after Soto signed with the Mets, and he asked me,

698
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 8: he said, he goes, how's the organization taking it? And

699
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 8: I said, well, in all honesty, there's some degree of relief,

700
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 8: just because now they can address a whole lot of

701
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 8: other holes on their roster and they were not going

702
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 8: to be able to do that financially had Soto taken

703
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 8: the seven hundred and sixty million dollars that the Yankees

704
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 8: had offered. And he said, I get it. I understand that,

705
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 8: agree with some of it. He goes, Let me just

706
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 8: give you the perspective from the opposing dugout. There was

707
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 8: nothing in the game like those two back to back,

708
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 8: and you were literally terrorized in the opposing dugout, wondering

709
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 8: one of those two insert expletives there coming up again,

710
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 8: because it seemed like they were up every friggin inning.

711
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 8: He didn't say friggin' and he said, I guarantee you

712
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 8: if that's what we were thinking in the dugout, that's

713
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 8: in the pitcher's mind too. You know how much of

714
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 8: this game is mental? You guys, you know talk about

715
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 8: that all the time. You plant something in a picture's head,

716
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 8: whether it's a reliever, the starter. How many times is

717
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 8: the starter going to face those two guys back to

718
00:32:55,920 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 8: back and so the Yankees lineup it may be, We

719
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 8: don't know. There's a lot of questions involved with it.

720
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 8: How much does Goldschmid have left? You know, Bellinger four

721
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 8: of his last five years haven't been up to certainly

722
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 8: his standards, but nothing's happened yet. And again, you can't

723
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,719
Speaker 8: duplicate the Sodo judge dynamic. We have no idea how

724
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 8: that's going to play out. So I think pitchers are

725
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 8: certain relieved opposing team pitchers, But you know, until the

726
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 8: offense proves otherwise their biggest loss, you still have to

727
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 8: say it's Wan Soda.

728
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 3: Currently today, we know Stanton's in New York with elbows,

729
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:40,959
Speaker 3: personal issues, all that stuff. Also currently today, a former

730
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 3: MVP candidate, Platinum Glover, made a three and a half

731
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 3: hour drive from Jupiter to playing a game against a

732
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 3: team that may or may not have openings. I know

733
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 3: you're missing a bat. I know the Yankees are missing

734
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 3: a bat in g and you don't know how that's

735
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 3: gonna play out. It just seems like too much of

736
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 3: a coincidence that he made the trip here to not

737
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 3: showcase himself to a team that might need a third

738
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 3: basement and a bat short right now.

739
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 8: I mean, look, I mean, Nolan has been linked to

740
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 8: the Yankees since the Winter Meetings. As you guys know,

741
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,399
Speaker 8: he's got a full no trade clause, but everything I've

742
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 8: heard from the Cardinals organization is that he would be

743
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 8: willing to waive.

744
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 2: That to, you know, to come to a contending team

745
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 2: like the Yankees.

746
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 8: You know, Nolan is a ten time Gold Glove winner,

747
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 8: eight time All Star. I think he would welcome the

748
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 8: spotlight that would come, particularly at the end of his career.

749
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 2: He's never won a championship.

750
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 8: People I've talked to what the Cardinals say, that's you know,

751
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 8: first and foremost on his list. He really would like

752
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 8: a title before before he retires. You know, it's really

753
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 8: right now, it's finances. You know, the Yankees, if they're

754
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 8: able to trade Marcus Stroman that would free up eighteen million.

755
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 8: Then suddenly, you know Nolan's salary, what he's owed would

756
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 8: maybe fit in, you know a little bit more so

757
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 8: because the spending for now kind of hal Steinbrun and

758
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 8: the owner has turned that that's bigot off. But but

759
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 8: circumstances change. We're talking about with the with the Stroman's situation,

760
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 8: I will say I talked to Nolan on the field

761
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 8: after batting practice here today and I asked him, I said,

762
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 8: when's the last time you've made a three and a

763
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 8: half hour drive across state And he said, well, it's

764
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 8: it's been a while. But he said, you know, I

765
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 8: don't like to take consecutive days off in the spring.

766
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 8: He didn't play in Duneaton yesterday, and so.

767
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 2: That's just happened a team that he would get. I'm

768
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 2: just I'm just we're talking hypotheticals. But if he goes out,

769
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 2: he's out. What if he goes to Pepys, Yankee fans

770
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 2: are going to be clamoring. Of course, that's all. He

771
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 2: makes a couple of diving, they're gonna be article. Oh yeah,

772
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 2: well I was.

773
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 8: I was in the middle of writing it actually when

774
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 8: Mark texted me to come down here.

775
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 2: So, yeah, you got Which one did you write though?

776
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 2: Did you write two articles? Oh? No, just one. He

777
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 2: has a great day and the Yankees need him, and if.

778
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 8: And if he doesn't have a good day, it's just

779
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 8: spring training. Wow, that's how the sausage gets made sometimes, guys.

780
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 2: Is that we're looking in the background.

781
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 3: You're kind of a historian a little bit.

782
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 8: Yes, No, it depends on a lot of US history.

783
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 8: But I don't think that's what you're gonna ask me.

784
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 3: And the and the song two things that have come

785
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 3: up in camp here. Do you think it's gonna change

786
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 3: the Yankee fan base in the sense of, like more

787
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 3: younger fans now are going to watch. Do you think

788
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 3: it's going to you know, do you think it was

789
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 3: Do you think both moves were necessary. You know, the

790
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 3: the New York, New York one. I'm not sure the

791
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 3: origin of that one. And I really didn't care that

792
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 3: much when that that story broke. Honestly, that to me

793
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 3: is the bigger deal that I didn't care that much.

794
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying is is so when you won

795
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 2: as a visitor, they would the lady would say I

796
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 2: don't know, yeah, and Ellen she would sing, and when

797
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 2: you lost, Sinatra would no, no, no. It was the

798
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 2: reverse when they won Sinatra when they lost. Liza Minelli's

799
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 2: version of Yankees I'm talking about it's a visitor. Oh okay.

800
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 2: So he always wanted one, Yeah, he always wanted the lady.

801
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 2: You want to let's make the lady sing, because when

802
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 2: you come into the Yankee state, when you come to

803
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 2: Yanke Lady, I didn't know. It was always like, let's

804
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 2: make the ladies sing, right, because we don't want to

805
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 2: hear it because of snatchra sing and that means they

806
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 2: want so to me, that's a big deal. The face

807
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 2: you here. I never played for the so I don't

808
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: really care about that. Now certain players do care about that,

809
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: but I think it's great. They're finally Oh letting people

810
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 2: be themselves a little.

811
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:31,479
Speaker 6: Bit a little.

812
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 8: Judge said something interesting the other day when he was

813
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 8: asked about the change and the beard policy, and he

814
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 8: was one of the current players that al Steinbernner consulted

815
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 8: with before ultimately announcing this decision last weekend. And one

816
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 8: of the things Aaron said when he was asked about

817
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 8: because Hal and his reasoning said, you know, I would

818
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 8: really be upset if I found out a free agent

819
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,959
Speaker 8: didn't come here because of the beard policy. And Judge said,

820
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 8: if that's the deciding factor for a player whether or

821
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 8: not they come to the New York Yank or not,

822
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 8: he's probably a guy that we wouldn't want, you.

823
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 2: Know, in this clubhouse. I'm paraphrasing somewhat, but that was

824
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 2: the gist of what of what he.

825
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 8: Said, It really to the players is not as big

826
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 8: a deal as you might think. And if you look

827
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 8: in that clubhouse, you don't see a bunch of beards.

828
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 8: You know, the guys who didn't have beards before don't

829
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 8: have him now.

830
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 2: Maybe you get a few.

831
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 8: Extra days of growth, so you don't have the guys

832
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 8: that shave every day. One of the guys that people

833
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 8: thought would grow a beard the quickest, you know, besides

834
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 8: Devin Williams, who you know, we know, that's just you know,

835
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 8: he has always worn a beard since he's been an adult,

836
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 8: and that's just you know, what he does. But people

837
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 8: thought Austin Wells for sure, because he's got the big

838
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 8: bushy mustache. He walked in the other day clean shaven,

839
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 8: excuse me, clean shaven, with still the bushy mustache, and so,

840
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,720
Speaker 8: you know, Garrett call it about three days of growth.

841
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 2: The other day.

842
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 8: Next day came in and he had a beard in Houston,

843
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 8: and I think towards the end of his you know,

844
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 8: career in Pittsburgh, before he was traded to Houston. Uh,

845
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 8: he had just you know, shave and clean too. So

846
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 8: you know, most guys kind of greeted the news with

847
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 8: a shrug. They collectively overall field that, you know, it

848
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 8: was a good decision because for for some people where

849
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 8: it really is a part of their.

850
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 2: Persona, why not allow them to do that.

851
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 8: But you know, guys were certainly ready to move on

852
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 8: after we were in there asking them about it to

853
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 8: you know, forget the and the announcement was made the

854
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 8: day of their first spring training game, and after the game,

855
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 8: nobody asked a word about the game. It was all

856
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 8: about the beard policy and guys were guys were done

857
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 8: with that, and frankly so was I.

858
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 2: Plus it's you know what, as a as a male,

859
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 2: you just don't have to wake up and be like, gosh,

860
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 2: I have to shoot like I'm gonna give it one

861
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 2: more day exactly. That's kind of I mean, it doesn't

862
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 2: seem like a much, but you know, like if you

863
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 2: have to shave every day, it's just like, oh man,

864
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 2: it's just ten.

865
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 3: Just trees grow a lot of beard. But it was

866
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 3: like three or four days, and I wouldn't Jane. Jane

867
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 3: would send me an email or send an email to

868
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: to Boonie to tell me.

869
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 2: So I never I never got in trouble. You never

870
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 2: ran a foul of the policy when you were when

871
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 2: you were here.

872
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 8: Never, No, I mean, but but it was I when

873
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 8: I went into the Blue Jays clubhouse because they played

874
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 8: the Blue Jays the next day.

875
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 2: He signed here because he can not grow a beard.

876
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,799
Speaker 4: That's no.

877
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 8: I didn't talk to Blat, but I was talking to

878
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 8: some of their pictures about not having to face the

879
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 8: one Soto judge combination back to back and then a

880
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 8: couple of them I was just besing with after I

881
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,439
Speaker 8: was done, and I mentioned the beard thing and they're

882
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 8: basically like, you know what, only in only in New

883
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 8: York would that be a huge topic.

884
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 2: And I said, did that come up at all in

885
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 2: the clubhouse here?

886
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 8: And they were sort of like, no, We were laughing

887
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 8: at it, but it really was not something discussed anywhere

888
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 8: other than New York.

889
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: Perfect Eric, Thank you for spelling your name correctly and

890
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,759
