1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,559
Speaker 1: It's a rivalry, yes, but it's just two really good

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: teams that just want to win and want to play

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: good baseball and they just want to beat the other team.

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: We're back, and so is Jake Cronin from the Patres

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: training us on FT for the first time.

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 3: Jake.

00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 2: Great to have you on man. Thanks for the time.

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: As the season going for.

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: right now. It's it's been a fun year.

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 4: Aja. You just saw them, right.

13
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: I did.

14
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 5: I just saw them play the Royal Spits old team,

15
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 5: so I saw him play the game that was there,

16
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 5: the Padres on one. I believe they beat them, ceased

17
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 5: Delta on the seventh.

18
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 4: The chron Zone?

19
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 5: Did the chron Zone have any hits it? By the way,

20
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 5: I want to know who started the Chronzone?

21
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 4: Was it that night?

22
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 3: That's an all time nickname, probably one of the best

23
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: thing names in the league.

24
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 5: I love it. No, I don't want to.

25
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 4: Where it came from. I want to say it was

26
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 4: don Orsillo.

27
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: Like you know, he's got nicknames for everybody, and you

28
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: know how he is on the broadcast, He's just him

29
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: and mud are crazy and they get on these tangents,

30
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: and I think one day, like I want to say,

31
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, he just like somehow came up with

32
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: it just randomly.

33
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 4: I love it.

34
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 5: I love it. No, does it get your free jumbo

38
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,920

Speaker 4: that's for sure.

58
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 5: Father does his father in law call him though and

59
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 5: say like, hey, you need to work on this when

60
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 5: you're hitting, or do you need to do this when

61
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 5: you're playing defense, because he was a middle infielder, so

62
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 5: now that you're in a second baseman, right, he probably

63
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 5: calls you up and says, you know, Jake.

64
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 4: The urn. No, he's awesome, man.

65
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean he's always during the holidays and just like

66
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: random days in the off season, even during this he's

67
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: in just like text messages or even during holidays. Man,

68
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: it feels like, you know, the four of us, it's

69
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: just baseball top you know, twenty four to seven.

70
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 4: When we're at the house, it's it's pretty awesome.

71
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: Him telling us old stories when he played, obviously, Gordon

72
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: telling stories, Brian telling stories, and me, and it's just

73
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: it's just an awesome, awesome environment.

74
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 5: Hey, have you talked to Gordon yet and said that

75
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 5: you're the best player in the family. Make sure that

76
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 5: you tell him that. I said that you're a better

77
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 5: player than he was, because I was there when he

78
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 5: came up and he tried their he tricked third base.

79
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 5: That skid didn't work, so we you know, then he

80
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 5: had to become a utility guy. At least you've locked

81
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 5: down first and second, you know, and plus your left

82
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 5: handed better hit her, so you can pass that along from.

83
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 4: Me, I'll say. I'll say Scott's probably the best player

84
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 4: in the family.

85
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he played fifteen years in the big league,

86
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: so he's kind of got the one up on everybody

87
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: right now.

88
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: Scotty, he's a legend. Hey, I got a question about

89
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: about your about your skipper, so Shields, I mean, so

90
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: me me. He and I go way back. He started

91
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: a travel like baseball organization down to Charlotte, and so

92
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: when I was playing coming up, we would play his

93
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: team a lot. I got to Double A, he was

94
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: in Springfield, Triple A in Memphis. I got to the

95
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: big leagues. He was he was in Saint Louis. So

96
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 3: we've never been together, but have always been kind of

97
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 3: along the same path. And he as a guy that

98
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: was on the other side. He always had this kind

99
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: of reputation from guys that weren't on his team as man,

100
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 3: he never he went in a player, you know, he's

101
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 3: you know, what does he know? He never got to play.

102
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 3: And then the more you talk to people that played

103
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: for him, all you hear is just the most amazing

104
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: things about Shield and you know, a lot happened recently

105
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: and he sticks up for his players. So what's it.

106
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: I want to know, what's it like to play for

107
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 3: a guy like shild.

108
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think.

109
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: The biggest thing, I think is like his emphasis of

110
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, togetherness of the group, you know, and he

111
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: pairs that with the structure of our day is and

112
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: you know it, I think it shows like the way

113
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: we play, it's it's very the group is super close,

114
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: and I think you can see that in the games

115
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: that we're playing. You know, it's not like we haven't

116
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: been blowing teams out a lot, but it's kind of

117
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: like we're in these battles every night. We're winning one

118
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: nothing like yesterday. We're winning these close games. And I

119
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 1: think that's something from last year when he was first

120
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: hired to now that's kind of stemmed into our play

121
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: and you know, you see it with the rest of

122
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: our coaching staff as well, and you know just how

123
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: close the group is and.

124
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 4: And how kind of in the same direction everybody is moving.

125
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. I love he's that success everywhere he's been.

126
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 5: I love felt hilarious when I go to his office. No,

127
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 5: we're going to his office and talk to him, and

128
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 5: he doesn't even let us ask one question because he's like,

129
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 5: all right, interview over, thanks, guys, appreciate it. So he's

130
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 5: the he's the best. He'll get into a little bit.

131
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 5: I want to go to your rivals a little bit,

132
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 5: to Dodgers. We have Max Munci on here. We've had

133
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 5: some Dodger guys on here and they all say, you know, oh,

134
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 5: the Padres there, they're kind of not really our rival.

135
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 5: But I was there in twenty two when you got

136
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 5: a huge hit against them to win that series in

137
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 5: San Diego and you guys beat them and sent them home.

138
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 5: How do you feel about that rivalry because I feel

139
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 5: like it's a great rivalry and I love I've done

140
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 5: Dodger Padre games this year. I love it. It's like

141
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 5: the best atmosphere, especially in San Diego. It's the best atmosphere.

142
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 5: I mean, heck, I was there for the Royals on

143
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 5: Saturday all had forty three thousand people. Every night. San

144
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 5: Diego has got to be top three parks to watch,

145
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 5: especially when Dodgers commit.

146
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we had it was sold out the

147
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: other night against the Nationals on a Tuesday night. I mean,

148
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: it's the fans there. I mean, obviously the weather in

149
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: the stadium are amazing, but like I mean, they show

150
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: up every night to cheer us on. And I think,

151
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: you know, ever since I've been here, it just seems

152
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,799
Speaker 1: like every year it continues to just get better. And

153
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: I mean I think you see the way we play

154
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: on the field as well, like that them being there

155
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: every night, and I mean it's forty two thousand just

156
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: behind us. That's I mean, it's a huge advantage for us.

157
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: But no, to the to the rivalry thing, I think,

158
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, it was funny. I saw the clip of

159
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: Jackson was on Mookie's podcast to when we played them

160
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago, and I think they said it

161
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: best man, It's it's a rivalry, yes, but it's it's

162
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,559
Speaker 1: just two really good teams that just want to win

163
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: and want to play good baseball, and they just they

164
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: just want to beat the other team.

165
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: It's not like this.

166
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: You know those old Red Sox Yankees rivalries where it's

167
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: like a fist fight every night. You know, it's one

168
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: of those rivalries. It's two really good teams with really

169
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: good players on each side, and I think just the

170
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: competitive competitiveness of each side and each guy on the teams, like,

171
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: it's just we just want to go out there.

172
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: If you're a card collector, even if you're not, and

173
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: you just want to find a new way to collect.

174
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: Arena Club is the spot. AJ just opened up a

175
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: slab pack. He screen recorded on his phone so you

176
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: can all see what he just experienced. Take us through it.

177
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: And it was simple.

178
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 5: I just clicked on which slab pack I wanted, clicked

179
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 5: by now boom bought it card. Little pack starts spinning,

180
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 5: you hit open, and then it goes all psychedelic on you.

181
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: It's a little funky, and then the.

182
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 5: Card appears and I got a Robin Yelt rookie card.

183
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, you did it awesome.

184
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: And then right after that experience, I saw the little

185
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: buy back and you said, na, hold on to this.

186
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 4: Now hold on is Robbin meounts in the Hall of Fame.

187
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 5: He's not getting any more rookie cards. So I'm gonna

188
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 5: stick with it for a little bit so you have

189
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 5: the price might start just going up a little bit.

190
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: Yep, you can track that and of course if you

191
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: do want to do the buy back, then you can

192
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: instantly sell it right back to Arena Club. Get yourself

193
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: another slab pack, by card whatever it is. This is

197
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 5: All right, so I gotta asked. There's a couple of

198
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 5: questions I have about this one. Do you hate the Dodgers?

199
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 5: Do you hate the Dodgers as a player? Do you

200
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 5: hate the I mean not saying you hate Mooky, but

201
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 5: do you hate maybe do you hate the blue and

202
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 5: the fans? Because I know as a white sock, I

203
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 5: didn't hate the Cubs players, but I did, well, there

204
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 5: was a couple I did, but I didn't. I hated

205
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 5: more of like the thought of the Cubs. Right, so

206
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 5: it was a padre. Do you hate the Dodgers not

207
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 5: the players because MOOKI Freddie those guys are great, But

208
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 5: I mean, do you hate the thought of the Dodgers

209
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 5: versus the Padres.

210
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 4: That's a tough one. Like I it's weird.

211
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: I think if early in my career maybe, but like now,

212
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: I think it's like I've come to like, you know,

213
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: each place is each team in each stadium we play

214
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: in with their fans is so unique and it's a

215
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: different experience. Like I think everywhere we go is so cool,

216
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: like seeing how fan bases have their own teams backs.

217
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: You know, I think we've done a good job of

218
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: like not saying, oh, we hate this team, we hate

219
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: this team. We just want to go out there and

220
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: win every night, Like depending no matter who we're playing.

221
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: Obviously it's probably it is heightened more when we play

222
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: them because they're in our division, and if we want

223
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: to want to win the division, we gotta we gotta

224
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: beat them.

225
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 4: And I think that's just the hard truth. Okay.

226
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 5: So then Joe Kelly came on here yesterday on the

227
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 5: show and we asked him, I said, if you could

228
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 5: play for the Astros who he hates, the Athletics, the

229
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 5: White Sox, the Rockies, or the Padres. The Padres were

230
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 5: the first team he eliminated. He's like Padre's out before,

231
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 5: like even before we even got started. He's like Padre's

232
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 5: out right. And he ended up picking the Rockies out

233
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 5: of those five teams. He said, I'd rather pick than

234
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 5: the other four. So I don't know. I mean, maybe

235
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 5: that's how Dodger guys feel about the Padres, some of

236
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 5: them at least.

237
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know that. I mean, I think it's

238
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: a person by person basis, Like you know, do I

239
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: want to beat them every night?

240
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 4: Like I want to. I want to go out there

241
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 4: and beat him ten nothing. I want to beat him

242
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 4: one nothing. You know, A win's a win. I don't know.

243
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 4: That's a hard question.

244
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: M but you got that and then you got what

245
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 3: months he said on here a couple of days ago

246
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 3: about how the Dodgers only have one rival and is

247
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 3: the it's the Giants, which I know, you know, you

248
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 3: can you can be political on here and you know

249
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: say that, but that's gotta that's gotta eat at you

250
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 3: a little bit. It's got to be talked about in

251
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 3: the clubhouse a little bit.

252
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: No, I mean, I like you looked at you look

253
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: at like history between those two teams, and yeah, it's

254
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: way more significant probably in the course of you know,

255
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: since they've been been around, Like, yeah, those teams have

256
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: had some huge battles, you know, but I think for us,

257
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: like there's a group.

258
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 4: Like viewing, like you know, us versus the Dodgers.

259
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean over the last five years, like it's

260
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: been a battle every single year against those guys. You know,

261
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: we beat him in twenty two in the playoffs. They

262
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: beat us last year in the playoffs and going to

263
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: win the World Series. So yeah, I think you know,

264
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: between us two within the last handful of years, like

265
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: that's for sure a rivalry.

266
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: Can I just say that you've been very politically correct

267
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 3: throughout all these questions. No, no, no, Billboard material were

268
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 3: great answers.

269
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 5: True, true, But before you go now, also, I want

270
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 5: to say this, Joe Kelly did say that he wishes

271
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 5: the Padres and the Dodgers could play in the World

272
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 5: Series because last year the two best teams were the

273
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 5: Padres and the Dodgers, and he thought that was World

274
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 5: Series worthy. So I know it won't happen because the

275
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 5: way the playoffs are set up, but I kind of

276
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 5: agree with him. You guys were the probably the second

277
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 5: best team, and by the way, I hate to bring

278
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 5: this up, But you guys.

279
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: Had them, you had them.

280
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

281
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 5: I know it's baseball and you never know, but gosh,

282
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 5: I thought y'all had him.

283
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that one hurt.

284
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's you know, I think everybody in our

285
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: clubhouse like the way we played in the second half.

286
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: I mean, OSCO, I don't think I had never been

287
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: around a group that was more confident going into the

288
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: postseason than ours last year.

289
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: And I think it was just the.

290
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: Way we were playing, the way we matched up against

291
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: teams that we were playing are potentially going to play

292
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. From a starting pitching standpoint, from a

293
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: bullpen standpoint, which was, you know, our bullpen.

294
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 4: In the second half is unstoppable. You know, they just

295
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 4: they beat us in those last that's those last two games.

296
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 4: That was it. Many They matched up.

297
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: Really well and they they threw their guys out there

298
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: and that was that was That was like the perfect

299
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: example of like the old quote, it's just baseball like

300
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: that that's.

301
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 4: Going to happen.

302
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: Oh man. I love the way that A. J. Prelor

303
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: assembled the bullpen for that second half, the way it

304
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 2: was trading for guys. I hope that more contenders kind

305
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: of think about things that way. One more on the

306
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: rivalry part, and I'm going to take you to a

307
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 2: different rival that's not in top three. Probably the Washington

308
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: Nationals were like they said something along the lines of

309
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 2: like fleeced on the trade with obviously Soto. Moving over

310
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: to you guys, you spent some time with Sodo. So

311
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 2: your thoughts to that and how that era played out,

312
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: And then I will actually point out the aftermath of

313
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 2: how eventually the Pods trade Soto. One of the pieces

314
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: that returned was Michael King, who's been a number one

315
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: starter when he's on the mountain when he's healthy for

316
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: you guys, So your thoughts on the little playful poke.

317
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean when you look at it in the moment,

318
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: I think any team back in twenty twenty two, when

319
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: you could have gotten any and you know, anybody was

320
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: on the block for Juan Soto, Like, when you have

321
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: a player of that caliber and you have the ability

322
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: to get them as a GM, you it's hard to

323
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: say no, you know. I mean, he'd been probably top

324
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: three player in baseball, So you've been in the league

325
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: at the point and it's like, man, we're getting a

326
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna change this lineup from the minute he

327
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: gets there. And you're not only getting him for you know,

328
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: just after the trade deadline and he's hitting free agency

329
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: the next year, you're getting from the next year as well.

330
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, you can say, now, you

331
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: know a few years down the road, like oh yeah,

332
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: you know that, you know the trade, you know this

333
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: and that. But to your point, like we got Michael King,

334
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: we got Randy Vasquez, who's been incredible for us this year.

335
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 4: You know those.

336
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: Pieces that we got, you know, you look down the line,

00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: like we end up getting Dylan Ceas, we end up

338
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: getting these guys, and you know, yes, the Nationals.

Speaker 4: Got got five great players.

340
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: And you know they're all probably gonna have really good careers,

341
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: and you know, three of them are off to really

342
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: great starts this year. You know, it's it's hard to say,

343
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: but you know, I think the pieces we got in

344
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: return are really really good and they've they've cotributed for

345
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: us in an awesome.

346
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: Awesome way.

347
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,960

00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:14,480

Speaker 5: Well, take out, take out the Rockies, take out the Rockies.

00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: I mean you look at the last you know, shoot

354
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,160

355
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: we're in the NLCS and twenty two, the d Backs

356
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: are in the World Series in twenty three. The Dodgers

357
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: win the World Series last year, and you look at

358
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: how competitive this division is. I mean, it's not just

359
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: one team or two teams that are kind of just

360
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: you know, taking over you know, those top three spots,

361
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, I.

362
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 4: Mean, it's it's it's those four teams.

363
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: Us the Dodgers, the d Backs and the Giants, Like

364
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, Giants had one hundred and whatever, one hundred

365
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: and five wins in twenty one, you know, I mean

366
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: I would say yeah. I mean the starting pitching in

367
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: this division is just outrageous.

368
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm gonna mix in one fan question here. So

369
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: in our chat, they said, why does Donnacillo call you

370
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 2: the what is it? Adorable little second basement? Our adorable

371
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: little second basement. No, it's it's mud grant. Why does

372
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: he say that?

373
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, I know about it all the time,

374
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: and he has no good answer about why it is

375
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: and he.

376
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 4: Comes in the clubhouse and he's wearing his bucket hat.

377
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: He looks like he looks like he's on the TV

378
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: show Gilligan's Island, So I call him.

379
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 4: Gilligan, but I don't know that. He said that last

380
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 4: year in spring training, and I was like, what does

381
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 4: that even mean?

382
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 5: Wow? Well, all right, So I got to ask before

383
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 5: we have to let you go, was what was a

384
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 5: better year for you personally? Michigan wins the National Championship

385
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 5: in football or Ohio State wins last year, but Michigan

386
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 5: beats them in the big game. So which one makes

387
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 5: you happier? As a former Michigan Wolverine.

388
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: I would say the National championship year, just we beat Michigan,

389
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 1: or sorry, we beat Ohio State.

390
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 4: I was at that game.

391
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: That game was awesome, like freezing cold, and it's always

392
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: a noon.

393
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 4: Game in an arbor, freezing cold.

394
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: You get up at seven am to tailgate, and they

395
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: had interception with like fifty seconds left.

396
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 4: Ohio State was driving down the field.

397
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 1: They converted two plays for like thirty five yards and

398
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: it was just like what just happened? And then interception

399
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: and then I got to go to the National championship,

400
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: which was awesome, and you know, I feel bad for

401
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: Washington fans because at the stadium in Houston it was

402
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: like seventy five percent Michigan fans. I mean it was

403
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: it was a Michigan home game. And then last year

404
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: was so frustrating because you like the quarterback situation. We're

405
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: playing a new guy every week. We're throwing in guys

406
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: on different downs depending on the situation. But every year

407
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: is a great year.

408
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 4: When we beat Ohio State, that's that.

409
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they people can say Ohio State

410
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: fans can say, yeah, they won the national championship, but

411
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: you didn't beat Michigan. And you saw it after the game,

412
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: like those like the huge fight on the field, guys

413
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: are getting pepper sprayed, like that's that's the rivalry and

414
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: that is the game, and it's the game for a reason.

415
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 5: By the way, first of all, who planted it? Didn't

416
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 5: you guys who planted the flag? There was someone that

417
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 5: planted in one team planted a flag. Was a Michigan

418
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 5: planning the flag state? And then second all know what

419
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 5: wit Witt will never get to do celebrate a national

420
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 5: championship in football. Sorry, sorry with big year Lenora Sellers.

421
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 3: He's been front runner big year.

422
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: You know what I will I will say I remember

423
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: sitting on the couch and washing South Carolina play Michigan

424
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: in the Outback Bowl in Tampa, and Jadeveon Clowney late

425
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: the biggest that I've ever seen in my life.

426
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 4: I was.

427
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't even I didn't even think I was at

428
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: Michigan yet. Actually it was my I was my freshman

429
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: year May and that was insane.

430
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 3: I was there. Yeah, I was in the I was

431
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 3: like the the end kind of by the by the

432
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 3: end zone, and you couldn't really because we the defense

433
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 3: was in front of us, the offense on the other side,

434
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 3: and so you couldn't see the play. You just saw

435
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 3: a helmet go flying.

436
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 4: It was it was Yeah. The helmet went like twenty

437
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 4: yards towards the end zone. Yeah.

438
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: And the thing right before that play, there was a

439
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: measuring and there Michigan was this this yeah, this much

440
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 3: short and they gave him the first down anyway.

441
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna play.

442
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna cut because they're coming right against break. But

443
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: uh Aj is very happy. We got some football talk

444
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:57,000
