I do believe, Louis that you're kind of 75 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 3: on that verge again of becoming that ace again. 76 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 4: How do you do that? 77 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: Yeah? 78 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 5: The only thing for me, the only thing that I'm 79 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 5: missing is just you know, I was younger. You know, 80 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 5: when you're younger, you play well. You know this that 81 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 5: you recover faster. You know, the older you get, it's 82 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 5: really tough to recovery. So for me, pitching wise, I 83 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 5: think I'm better now. You know, have work command on 84 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 5: my staff. I got better pitches now. So for me, 85 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 5: just continue to have this guru team that I got 86 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 5: last year. So I feel like if I do that 87 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 5: for a whole year and I feel healthy, you know 88 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 5: every five days, I think I'm going to be in 89 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 5: that level again. 90 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 6: Was there anything I remember when you came up? It 91 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 6: was my stuff is just better. Then you can't hit 92 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 6: your stuff.

I was looking at Second 110 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 5: and then stopping out there. I was throwing fastball and 111 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 5: then I look at Second going straight home. 112 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: It was HOSPI So how did you stop out? 113 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 5: They notice it, you know, And I just started practicing 114 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 5: like I either had to do one. I either had 115 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 5: to stop every time in third and go or just 116 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 5: not stop. So you didn't know I didn't. Yeah, And 117 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 5: you know I started working on that. In the off season. 118 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 5: I was, you know, looking for that team I was signed. 119 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 5: I talked to two teams that I asked her if 120 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 5: I signed with you, are you going to help me? 121 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: And they told me, hey, this is what we have 122 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: when we face you. 123 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 5: So you know, just listen to those guys like, okay, 124 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 5: so I need something like for sample. 125 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: One team told me. 126 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 5: Every time we face you, we look always if it 127 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 5: was down, it was Hosby because you don't throw the 128 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 5: fastball down either. It was fastball up. Everything down with 129 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 5: Hospy so change out slider, so and varieties and lefty 130 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 5: it was made away. So that's why I I was 131 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 5: working getting that singer and a car and that sweeper, 132 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 5: so I think that also helping. 133 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 3: That is the biggest difference of pitching and playing for 134 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 3: the Yankees versus the Mets, because it almost seems like 135 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 3: a little bit of a shift now. You know, obviously 136 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 3: with one Soto going from the Yankees to the Mets, 137 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 3: the A's have the interest in you. You leave a 138 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 3: big market team like that. To A J's point, what 139 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 3: is the biggest difference in your opinion between those two teams. 140 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: I think for me it was the Yankees. 141 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 5: When you show out to Springs training, everything is about 142 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 5: you had to win the division. 143 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: That's it. You had to win it. It's not like 144 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: it's not a show is you had to win it. 145 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 5: In New York because of the team that we have, 146 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 5: it was like at first nobody thought it was going 147 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 5: to kind of make the playoffs, so it was just 148 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 5: more relaxed. 149 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: More about, you know, go out there and have fun 150 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: and play the game. 151 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 5: So I think the Yankees are more about, you know, 152 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 5: you have to go out there, and we had to. 153 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: You had to win the worst series every year because. 154 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 5: Uh, the way they pay their players, the way that 155 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 5: they manage and that's the you know series. I wasn't 156 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 5: minor leagues, you know, that was the mentality. You're gonna 157 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 5: go out there because I got to help the Yankees series. 158 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 3: Are you pissed that they got rid of the facial 159 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: hair policy? 160 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 6: I want to know this. 161 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 2: The Yankees, I know this would have never done the 162 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 2: O M. G. It never would have had grimace, It 163 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 2: never would have had fucking it, never would have had 164 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: any of that stuff. Regular they don't have anything. How 165 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 2: much fun was it last year though, because I did 166 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 2: your playoff series against Philadelphia. You guys wanted to beat 167 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 2: them after beating the Brewers, and you know the Dodgers 168 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 2: was a battle for you guys that obviously came up shore. 169 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 2: But how much fun was it with all the gimmicks 170 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: and all the skits and the glaciers singing the song 171 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: and all that stuff, and you guys were eye blacking 172 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 2: the numbers of the pictures on your face, like it 173 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 2: had to be incredible. 174 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 5: I was the most amoo and fan season I played 175 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 5: in my life.
