Or would you rather be in total cruise 14 00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: control mode where you're just prepping for October. 15 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 2: I don't know. I haven't really thought about either of 16 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: those things. I think, you know, what our team needs 17 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: to do is just focus on ourselves, and you know, 18 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: you know, me focus on myself when I'm at my best. 19 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 2: You know, I like our team's odds of winning that day. 20 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 2: But yeah, I haven't even really looked at the standings 21 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: too much or kind of what's going around the league. 22 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: I've kind of just been focused on what our team's 23 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: doing and getting back to playing the baseball. You know, 24 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: I think that we all know we're capable of. 25 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 3: Hey, hey, Scoops. 26 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 4: We It's always fun to watch you in action. Man, 27 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 4: you know you're my guy. But one thing I've never 28 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 4: asked you is when you're on, when you're you know, 29 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 4: when you are you know, have that rhythm, you find 30 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 4: that spot, Like, what does that feel like exactly out there? 31 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 3: Like what does it feel like for you to be 32 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 3: like locked in? 33 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 4: Can you explain that to like the fans maybe just 34 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 4: to give them a little insight of being in that moment. 35 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for me, when I'm at my best, 36 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: it's pretty simple. When I'm out there, it's, uh, you know, 37 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: you hear the pitch com and the next thing that 38 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 2: goes through your mind is kind of for me, I 39 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: I have, you know, sights of where I want to 40 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: start pitches, you know, depending on what the pitch com is. 41 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 2: So you hear it, and then I look at where 42 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: I want to throw the ball, and then I throw it. 43 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: You know, that's It's It's really that simple when I 44 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: when I'm rolling and I'm at my best. And I 45 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 2: think a lot of people are at their best when 46 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 2: they keep the game simple. There's a lot of stuff 47 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: that can come okay things throughout a game, but when 48 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: I'm at my best, it really is just pitch calm. Okay, 49 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: I got my sights on this. I'm gonna throw the 50 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: hell out of this ball to that spot. 51 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 3: Okay. 52 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 4: So let me ask you, on the other hand, when 53 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 4: you very rarely give up a run, because you know, 54 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 4: I see looking on your face sometimes in disbelief, when 55 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 4: you very rarely give up give up a run, how 56 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 4: do you flesh it right for the guys who are 57 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 4: the young guys are dombin out there? Like, how do 58 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 4: you flushing to get right back on track and not 59 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 4: you know, let that moment become too big for you? 60 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: Yeah? I think you know. I I immediately go and 61 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 2: check my process, like was I one hundred percent bought 62 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: in on throwing this pitch? Or was there any sort 63 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 2: of hesitant you know, maybe I wanted to go somewhere else, 64 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 2: or or I was worried about leaving the ball middle 65 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 2: instead of trying to execute the ball away. So that's 66 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 2: kind of what I do, is I just look back 67 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: in my process, like, Okay, was I bought in on 68 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: that pitch? Yes? Okay, onto the next one like who cares? 69 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: If I wasn't bought into that pitch, then then that's 70 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: when you to flip the switch and be like, Okay, 71 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: let's get back to what makes me good. And that's 72 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 2: just me buying in on every single throw. So yeah, 73 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: that's that's kind of how I judge judge outings. If 74 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: I was really bought in on making my ninety two 75 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: hundred throws that game, you know, and and if I was, 76 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: I don't really care what the results are. If I wasn't, 77 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: then there's some work that needs to be done. 78 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 4: Hey, do you feel like more times than I? I'm sorry, 79 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 4: do you feel like more times than I. 80 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 3: When you do get beat? 81 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 4: Do you feel like it was that just not buying 82 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 4: in that day? I mean, I know you're going to 83 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 4: give credit when credit is due. Sometimes you just get beat, 84 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 4: But do you feel like, hey, when when you do 85 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 4: have those outings, it's like, damn, I just I just 86 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 4: it was no conviction or it wasn't my usual conviction. 87 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think so. I think so. And that's 88 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: when you have to look yourself in the mirror and 89 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: be really honest with yourself. 90 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 5: You know. 91 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: It's like it's like hitting if if you want to 92 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: get your A swing off, get your A swing off, 93 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: don't get beat, you know on your B swing. 94 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 6: You know? 95 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think you know. I always want to 96 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: be able to buy in it and be convicted with 97 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: every single throw. And if if I am that day, 98 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: I don't really care what the numbers are. If I'm 99 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: not that day, those are the ones that kind of 100 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: eat at you, and I'll keep you up at night 101 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 2: and you probably won't sleep as well. At least, I 102 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: don't you know when I'm when I want a couple 103 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: throws back that I just wasn't bought in on. 104 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 7: Derek. First of all, I know you check the scoreboard, 105 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 7: so don't lie. It's cool. I checked the scoreboard and 106 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 7: spring training, okay, So like it's cool. 107 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 6: You're like, I don't pay you pay attention, and you'd 108 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 6: rather have a twenty game lead. 109 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 7: Okay. 110 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 6: Every team would like to have a twenty game league 111 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 6: going to September, and you're like, WEE can cruise. Okay, 112 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 6: so don't give me the standard. All right, now, I 113 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 6: don't look at this. You look at the scoreboard, dude, 114 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 6: I know you You're playing the White Sox the next 115 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 6: three games. 116 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 7: You look at it, and you go, we should win 117 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 7: the next three. 118 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 3: I get it. 119 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 6: It's a big league team. But that's the way big 120 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 6: league players operate. Okay, So I appreciate the politically correct answer, 121 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 6: but it's cool, Okay, all right, now we were talking 122 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 6: about this. I don't know if you heard this conversation 123 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 6: before you came on about the Mets and their bullpen 124 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 6: and how their starters don't go five innings. They go 125 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 6: five and usually are out. Their bullpen has to cover 126 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 6: twelve outs a lot of night. As a starting pitcher 127 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 6: and as the ace and the Cy Young Award winner, 128 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 6: how much pride do you starters take it trying to 129 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 6: get to the seventh eight and if you can even 130 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 6: finish a game, how much does that mean to you? 131 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 6: And then how much does it affect the bullpen? If 132 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 6: you Flaherty paddock, all you guys go seven, boom, boom 133 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 6: seven seven eight seven. Your bullpen comes in and goes, man, 134 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 6: we haven't pitched in a while. You're like, yeah, that's 135 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 6: a good thing, because you'll be ready later. 136 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. I think as a pitcher 137 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: you take a ton of pride and throwing innings and 138 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 2: trying to log as many innings as you can. You know, 139 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: the two hundred inning threshold is a little bit different 140 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: than it's been in years past, but you know, if 141 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: you can eat as many innings as you can, and 142 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: you know, for me, I want to get there. You know, 143 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: I threw one hundred and ninety two last year in 144 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 2: the regular season, and I want to get to two 145 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: hundred innings. And to be able to do that, you 146 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: got to be pretty efficient and you know, get three 147 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 2: outs pretty quickly and get deep into games and you know, 148 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 2: pitch ahead, getting count leverage, do all that stuff. But yeah, 149 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 2: I think I starts. You know, the game's kind of 150 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 2: changed a little bit just because relievers are so good now, 151 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: But I think as starters you have to take a 152 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: ton of pride and going deep into ball games and 153 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: making the manager's decision as hard as you as you can. 154 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 2: You know, I don't want the manager to think that, oh, yeah, 155 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 2: this is the obvious decision to go to this guy 156 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 2: in the eighth. It's like, no, I'm still better than 157 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 2: the guy we're going to go to in the eighth today. 158 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's that's something that I take a ton 159 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 2: of pride in and I wish there was more emphasis 160 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 2: on you know, innings pitched in today's game. But I 161 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 2: also get it because the eight guys in the bullpen 162 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 2: out is it's not the same that it was, you know, 163 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 2: ten fifteen years ago. 164 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 1: Terrek, how closely do you follow Paul Skeins and his performance? 165 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: When we met him in person last year at the 166 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: Awards Center, which obviously you were there too, he talked 167 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: about how he really was looking over the offseason at 168 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: how you were thriving, how you were going deep into games. 169 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 8: You know everything about what you were doing. 170 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: Last season, of course, right, so curious on the flip 171 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: side of that, this year he is going super deep 172 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: into starts. You know, they babe him a little bit 173 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: like anyone else does heading into the major leagues. He 174 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: only spent five minutes in the minors anyway, But you know, 175 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: his strikeout numbers are still fine, but they're not as 176 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: crazy as they were last year. And it looks like 177 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: there is an emphasis on efficiency so that he can 178 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: go seven plus as much as possible. 179 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, I mean, one, he's he's a great pitcher. 180 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: I mean the stuff that comes out of his hands 181 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 2: is pretty special. He can do a lot of things 182 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: with the baseball. You know, I feel like he's got 183 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 2: like eight pitches and they're all pretty good, you know, 184 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 2: elite shapes and stuff like that. So yeah, I mean 185 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 2: I watch what he does. It seems to me like 186 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: he dominates every time out. So it kind of gets 187 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: boring to watch. It's like does he ever get hit? 188 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 2: Is he ever going to give up a hit? But yeah, 189 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 2: I think that that's what the really good ones do. 190 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: You know, I think as a starting pitcher you kind 191 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: of want to be a little bit boring because that 192 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 2: means nothing's going on in the game. That means you're 193 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 2: pitching well. So yeah, I mean, he's he's a great arm. 194 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 2: What he's doing this year is phenomenal. Curious to kind 195 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: of see what they do down the strets just to 196 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: you know, with his career and you know, they want 197 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: the longevity out of them. But yeah, I mean he's 198 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 2: he's a great arm and you know, he's probably the 199 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: cy young favorite in the National League this year for 200 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,239 Speaker 2: good reason. 201 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: We have a little breaking news on HelloFresh.

I 225 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 4: know you're a very prison guy, but I also know 226 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 4: that competitive competitive you are. How much do you allow 227 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 4: yourself to think about legacy and then you talk about 228 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 4: the Tigers? 229 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 3: What you guys are doing. 230 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 4: And how much a big postseason start or out and 231 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 4: could mean for that legacy. 232 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't, you know, I haven't really thought about 233 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: that a ton for me. I mean, a legacy for 234 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: me is to bring a championship to whatever you know, 235 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: to the city I'm playing, and you know, and that's 236 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 2: that's the most important thing to me in sports is winning. 237 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: You know. Individual accomplishments are are great, they're I mean, 238 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: it's it's great to get honored in that way, but 239 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: you know, winning a championship I think that that's when 240 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: you talk about I think that that's the legacy that 241 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: you want, is bringing a championship to the city, and 242 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: and that's kind of the goal. So however I do that, 243 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, it doesn't really matter to me. 244 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if I'm the one with the big 245 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: start or if Jackson one or Casey or Paddock or Charlie. Like, 246 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 2: I don't think it matters who has the big start. 247 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: For me, just winning a championship is going to be 248 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 2: the most important thing to me. And however I can 249 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 2: help the team do that, I'm going to do it. 250 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 6: Are you tired of hearing? Nineteen eighty four? Yeah, in Detroit, 251 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 6: you're tired of hearing nineteen eighty four. 252 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: It's a long time ago. It's a long time ago. 253 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: And I love when we have any of the eighty 254 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 2: four guys around, you know, I love when they come 255 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 2: back and hang out. But you know, twenty twenty five 256 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 2: sounds a lot better. You know, sounds a lot more recent, 257 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: you know. 258 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 7: To me, Yeah, me too. 259 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 6: I mean, eighty four team started out like twenty and 260 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 6: two or thirty five and five or something. 261 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: That was probably dominant championship of all time as the 262 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 2: eighty four team. I think they had the like craziest 263 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 2: lead in the post season, was dominant, best record in 264 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: the baseball like they never lost that too. So yeah, 265 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 2: that's probably one of the most dominant championships in baseball history. 266 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 7: It's good to know. You know your history. Now. 267 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 6: The other day, you're I think it was your last start. 268 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 6: You had a little shouting match with the umpire. You 269 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 6: said some words. Your mom and dad probably aren't proud of. 270 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 7: You about what I know. As a catcher, we can hide. 271 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 6: We have a mask on so we can say things 272 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 6: and no one really knows we're yelling at the umpire. 273 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 6: But when you're trek schouble and they look out there 274 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 6: and they see they show everything that you do and 275 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:30,959 Speaker 6: you're yelling these words. 276 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 7: Do you apologize to the umpire afterwards? 277 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 6: And have you ever gotten to the point where you're like, 278 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 6: I'm going to get ejected right here? 279 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 2: It was close that game, It was close. You know, 280 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: I don't want to get ejected in the first inning. Obviously, 281 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 2: that's that puts our team in a horrible spot. But 282 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 2: it wasn't the pitch right there that was just showed 283 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: the pitch prior was a strike, and he balled it. 284 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: And then he balled that one again. And the changeup 285 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: that I threw the first pitch of that at bat 286 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 2: was just a little bit down, So there was the 287 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: sequence of events is probably what led to that outburst. 288 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 2: It wasn't just like the one pitch, because I understand, 289 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 2: like everyone's human. I get it, like I if I 290 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 2: was an umpire, I miss pitches too. It's the human 291 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 2: part of the game. But in the moment, you know, 292 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 2: it's the first inning. A lot of runs are scored 293 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 2: in the first inning off starting pitching. It's one of 294 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: the best hitters of all time in the box. I 295 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 2: don't want to be in a three to zero count 296 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: to him. You know, it should have been one two 297 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 2: if the last two pitches were called strikes. So yeah, 298 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 2: I just probably lost it a little bit. Ended up 299 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: getting them out so it didn't matter. But I think 300 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 2: every inning matters, every pitch matters, and that's probably what 301 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 2: I was most frustrated with. 302 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 6: All Right, so are you gonna be excited when you 303 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 6: can do this next year? And it's what you said. 304 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 6: By the way, don't forget who was hitting. Mike Trout 305 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 6: was hitting. They're not gonna call the strike zone. There's 306 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 6: certain players, and I know it's not supposed to do this, 307 00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 6: but every once in a while, umpire kind of when 308 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 6: certain guys come up to bat. 309 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, that's part of the game. I love 310 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: the game of baseball. 311 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 8: You know. 312 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: I'm not going to say that that's not part of 313 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 2: the game. Or he's earned the right to have a 314 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 2: smaller strike. So because he is Mike Trout, he's accomplished, 315 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 2: you know, he is. He's about to shay just four 316 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 2: hundred homer or whatever it was. I just didn't want 317 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 2: it to come off me because I didn't want to 318 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: watch the highlight, you know. So I'm like I want 319 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 2: to be in a three count to Mike Trout, but yeah, 320 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 2: I just probably shouldn't do that because I run the 321 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 2: risk of getting ejected early in the game. You know 322 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: that that did never even crossed my mind. But yeah, 323 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 2: I understand. I mean, it's the game of baseball. I 324 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: didn't apologize because I didn't think I was wrong in 325 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 2: that in that sense, but. 326 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 9: Yeah, hey, school, Hey school, did you have a chance 327 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 9: to see the Cora and Suarez thing as far with 328 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 9: the iPad and the tips? 329 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 4: And I just want to ask you, you know, in 330 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 4: the game of baseball, and you know, I played with 331 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 4: you know, I went over to the Ashtros and seven 332 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 4: and it was a part of that team and and uh, 333 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 4: you know that whole deal. 334 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 3: I also play with the Yanks. 335 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 4: I play organizations that they try to figure out a 336 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 4: way to get competitive edges. I don't want to, you know, 337 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 4: get your take on it while you're still in the 338 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 4: game right now. How do you feel about it? As 339 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 4: a pitcher? 340 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. I mean, I think if I was 341 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 2: a hitter and I had a tip at a runner 342 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 2: on second base, I'd want to know it. You know, 343 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: I'm I'm very much on it. As far as not 344 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: tipping my pitches. You know, in my bullpen work, I 345 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 2: have a there's a you know, one of our video 346 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: guys watches every single throw I'm making a bullpen watches 347 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: every throw I make in the game. And you know, 348 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: we're very back and forth on tipping stuff or you know, 349 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 2: making sure I'm not tipping pitches. So I'm very much 350 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 2: it's part of the game. It's part of the baseball game. 351 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: You know, if you don't want to do it, don't 352 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: tip your pitches, you know. I think that that's pretty simple, 353 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: and and that is I think that's a competitive advantage. 354 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 2: You know, you have guys at second base that can 355 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: relay signs and you know, get location or get which 356 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 2: pitch is coming. I think that that's I think it's 357 00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: all fair game. The one I have a problem with 358 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 2: is the first base coach and the third base coach 359 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 2: that aren't in their box that they have. I don't 360 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 2: know why they have a box if they can't just 361 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: be in it, because sometimes they go way up the 362 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: line and way up the other line to see things 363 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: that you shouldn't be able to see when you're playing 364 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 2: the game of baseball. So that's the one I have 365 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 2: a problem with, and there's teams that do it. You know, 366 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 2: Boston's coach, you know, they've they've they've had they've had 367 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: me before in Boston, Cleveland has had me before, Sandy 368 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: Alamart first base. But I'm very aware of what's going 369 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 2: on and when that kind of stuff starts to happen, 370 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: and I think as a team, we're pretty aware of it. 371 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 2: You know, we're watching and making sure nothing's going on. 372 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 2: And you know, teams like to do the fake tip stuff. 373 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: You know, Boston said they've liked to do the fake 374 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: tip stuff, and we just make sure that there's nothing 375 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 2: going on, you know. But as far as getting the 376 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 2: run signs from second base, and you know, if the 377 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 2: pitcher's doing something drastically different with their glove or you know, 378 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: maybe they look down or something or look down twice, 379 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 2: it's always fastball. Like I think that's fair game. I 380 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 2: think that's part of the game of baseball. But like 381 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 2: I said, the one I don't like is when the 382 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 2: first base and third base coaches go way down the 383 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: lines and are doing things that you know, if if 384 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: they want to do that, stay in the box. I 385 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: guess that's my opinion. 386 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 6: On it all right, So so have you you say 387 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 6: that certain teams have had you. By the way, don't 388 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 6: ever go Hector Norris on Sandy Alomar. I know he's older, 389 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 6: but that dude is like a black belt and like 390 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 6: seven different things. So like, if you're gonna yell at one, 391 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 6: yell at their third base coach, don't yell at Sandy 392 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 6: because Sandy, Dandy, I don't know that you want to 393 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 6: get into that scrap of. 394 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: So actually, I this morning, I say I've talked to 395 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 2: him about it. I go, hey, Sandy, I know what 396 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: you did last start. You know it's not gonna happen again. 397 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 2: So yeah, I think, I mean, that's just that's part 398 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 2: of the game of baseball. I think that that's I 399 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 2: think that's fair game and in in what they do. 400 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 7: Okay, that's fair. 401 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 6: But now, do you guys is starting pitchers, do you 402 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 6: watch your guys when you're when you guys aren't on 403 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 6: your start day Because we used to have starters, We 404 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 6: used to have coaches that would watch every pitcher. We 405 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 6: had a camera that was locked in on every pitcher 406 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 6: from the home plate like the batter's view. Do you 407 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 6: guys watch Also to help because yes, one person. Because 408 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 6: here's the thing. We used to have coaches like I 409 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 6: played with Alex Sintron, who's the Astros hitting coach, and 410 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 6: he's like, oh, everybody tips. 411 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 7: And I played with Joey Kora. 412 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 6: Everybody tips, and literally it would be like, oh, they're here, 413 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 6: and then one pitch they're I'm like, dude, I can't. 414 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 7: I can't tell the difference in this and this. 415 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 6: So do you guys watch for that stuff also on 416 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 6: the bench, because I think you're right, it's part of 417 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 6: the game, but it's also part of the game for 418 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 6: you to be able to catch it before the other 419 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 6: team does. 420 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've watched when something doesn't look right, you know, 421 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 2: when guys are spitting on pitches that usually guys swing at, 422 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 2: you know, with our guys on the mound, or or 423 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 2: when I'm on the mound, I'll be watching and being like, Okay, 424 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 2: that's a weird take. You know, Okay, that's that's a 425 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 2: weird take. Again. You know, I don't I don't give 426 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 2: hitters credit in that aspect. I don't think that they 427 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 2: take pitches all that well and they're like, oh, I 428 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,959 Speaker 2: saw that really well. Even if if they think they 429 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 2: did I don't think they did. Uh. So you know, 430 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 2: when when some type of weird stuff is going on, 431 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 2: you know, I'll immediately get the iPad or get something 432 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 2: and watch and make sure nothing's going on. I think 433 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 2: our organization is great at that. Not only is our 434 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: you know, the video guy, but our pitching coaches are 435 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 2: pretty dialed in on it. And you can pull it up, 436 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 2: you know, side by side on the iPad and you 437 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 2: can hell, you can get two or three iPads if 438 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 2: you want and compare some things and if there's adjustments 439 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 2: that need to be made in game. I think everyone 440 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 2: on our team is pretty comfortable doing that, because the 441 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 2: last thing I want is the guy to know what 442 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 2: pitch is coming. I mean, I it's hard for me 443 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 2: to pick up tips, but if someone were to show 444 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 2: me something, it's just kind of getting rid of the 445 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 2: big ones, you know what I mean, Like the big 446 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 2: the big tips that are very obvious, you know, if 447 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 2: they're really close. I don't think hitters are as comfortable 448 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 2: buying into those tips, but the pretty obvious ones, those 449 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: are the ones you try to want to get rid of. 450 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 7: Great. 451 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 6: I had to know early. I had to know way early, 452 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 6: because you know, if you do it once you pick 453 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 6: your leg up. It was too late for me, so 454 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 6: it had to be something early. 455 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: Kratz tell everyone why they need to look into a 456 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: virtual private network aka of VPN. 457 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 7: That's kind of like wearing trousers.

A lot of discussion about Babe Ruth. He 488 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 6: swung like a fifty inch bat. How long do you 489 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,719 Speaker 6: think it would take Babe Ruth to get a hit 490 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 6: off of you? 491 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's I mean. I think the game's greats would 492 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 2: always adjust to the era of baseball that we're in now. 493 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 2: I've actually had that conversation with Alan Trammell, like, hey, tram, like, 494 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 2: the game is different than when you played. Obviously, with 495 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 2: the guy's stuff. That's guys that's coming out of arms. 496 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: And I was like, what do you think you know? 497 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 2: And in trams such a down to earth guy, you 498 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 2: could easily say, yeah, I'm a Hall of Famer, I'm 499 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 2: gonna you know, I'd rake off anybody, doesn't matter. But 500 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 2: he was like, no, it takes me a little bit 501 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 2: of adjusting to this. But you know, he's like, I'll 502 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 2: hold my own once I get adjusted to it. And 503 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: I thought that was really cool coming from a Hall 504 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 2: of famer, Like, you know, a lot of guys that 505 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 2: are of that pedigree have a sense of pride attached 506 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 2: with which is totally acceptable. I get it, they're Hall 507 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 2: of famers. But he actually was like, it takes me 508 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 2: a little bit to get going, and then once I 509 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 2: got it, like it's you know, I'm a Hall of Famer, 510 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be able to do what I do. And 511 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 2: I was like, I love that answer. And that's probably 512 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 2: the same thing with Baby Ruth, Like I don't think 513 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: Babe Ruth is going to be able to swing at 514 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: fifty inch bat off of me in and at bat 515 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 2: you know, I just don't think it's gonna work. But 516 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 2: once he kind of gets up to date with kind 517 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 2: of modern baseball. I mean, I think he's gonna be 518 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 2: a game's great and it'd be you know, it'd be 519 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 2: a fun at bat for sure. 520 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 6: All Right, I wanted a bat in spring training next year, 521 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 6: I'm coming to Lakeland. I'm going to get in a 522 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 6: bat off you. You'll probably strike me out. It's a 523 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 6: it's a win win for me. I'm I'll be forty 524 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 6: nine years old and you probably watched me out. But 525 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,479 Speaker 6: don't let me get a hit, because, oh, do not 526 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 6: let me get a hit. 527 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 2: I promise, Yeah, you're not gonna get a pitch to hit. 528 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 2: I don't think what do you mean a pitch to hit. 529 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 2: I'm just not going to throw you a pitch to hit. 530 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 2: I just it's gonna probably be a lot of velocity, 531 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 2: and just play that. You haven't swung a bat in 532 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 2: a while. 533 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 7: Okay, all right, that's fair. Hey, I was a bad 534 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 7: ball hitter. I'm just telling you I was a bad 535 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 7: ball hitter. 536 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 3: Hey, he won't. 537 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 4: Hey, listen, you got to pitch to him, scoops, because 538 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 4: he listen, he won't be as bad as me. I 539 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 4: don't tell everybody that the one time that I you know, 540 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 4: face you backfield, I hit a double loft, the wall, 541 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 4: Toledo on my re my, on my rehab stance. 542 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 3: So I don't put it out there often. But you're 543 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 3: so humble. Listen. 544 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 4: I said, this is the one guy, one superstar aj 545 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 4: other than you that I can text until he text 546 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 4: me back immediately. But one thing I would have asked 547 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 4: you that you know again, when you first came into 548 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 4: the into the clubhouse, I'm like, who is this guy? 549 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 3: Trek Tark?

But yeah, 557 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 2: that's that's probably the most common is Treek. You know, 558 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: And growing up, I don't think that people thought my 559 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 2: name and it'd be who I am?

Guys. 597 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: We're in mid August and the Athletic has a series 598 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: out on remaining schedules for contenders. I'm gonna cherry pick 599 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: a little bit because I don't care as much about 600 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 1: the teams with decent division leads. But first off, there 601 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: are about seven weeks remaining in the season, and you've 602 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: got Phillys Mets still coming up soon. Red Sox, Yankees, 603 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: Dodgers Padres twice this month. A Jay's calling one of 604 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: those games, but back to back weekends of Dodgers Padres Cubs, 605 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: Brewers are going to play five games in four days soon, 606 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: so we've got some good ones. I'm gonna hop around 607 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: to you guys a little bit. I want to go 608 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: to the Mariners, so as we're doing this, they're a 609 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: half game back of the Astros. They're in a wild 610 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: card spot. Cam they're in the second wild card, they're 611 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: playoff odds. I think this they're using fangrafts ninety four 612 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 1: point eight percent. 613 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 8: That is exceptional. 614 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: Strength of schedule remaining is just about fifty percent, So 615 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 1: just about five hundred ball clubs remaining five HT two, 616 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: they're sixty six and fifty three coming up for them 617 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: a series against the Orioles on the road. Then they're 618 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: on the road taking on the Mets and the Phillies. 619 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: Then they go back home for the A's and the Padres, 620 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: and then take on the Guardians on the road to 621 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: finish up the month. So what do we think of 622 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: this next month for the Mariners coming up? They have 623 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: one series left against an AL West contender and that's 624 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 1: the Astros in mid in mid September. Otherwise, you know, 625 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: you get a lot of a lot of East Coast 626 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: coming up here for them. 627 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of a lot of high stakes games 628 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 4: coming up for that. When you're coming up in the Mariners, 629 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 4: when you look at the schedule, and they're gonna be 630 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 4: battle tested. 631 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 3: But I think the biggest thing. 632 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 4: For them is they are you know equipped when you 633 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 4: talk about that starting rotation where you talk about the 634 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 4: bullpen and I love the where their offensive is playing 635 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 4: right now, They're gonna have to go in and earn it. 636 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 4: When you look at the Phillies and look at some 637 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 4: of those those teams and like you said, nobody no slouches, right, 638 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 4: every series is gonna be competitive. So this is gonna 639 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 4: be big, especially when you talk about the Texas Rangers 640 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 4: kind of nipping at the heels of the Mariners and 641 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,239 Speaker 4: the Astros as well. So each and every playoff now 642 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 4: say playoff series, Each and every series will be like 643 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 4: a playoff series when you talk about the Astros and 644 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 4: the teams that they are also facing, who are you know, 645 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 4: have a hopes of making it into the playoffs and 646 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 4: you're gonna be fun. 647 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, a jan I'll give you the Astros side of this, right, 648 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: If we think the Mariners are going to take down 649 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: the Astros in the l West, and they're pretty much 650 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,239 Speaker 1: neck and neck right now, they have the Astros at 651 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: ninety one percent playoff odds strength of schedule for them 652 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: over the next month is is a little easier right 653 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: at four to ninety six strength of schedule coming up, 654 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: so they have them home against the Red Sox and 655 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 1: the Orioles. Then they're on the road against the Tigers, 656 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: back on the road, still against the Orioles, and then 657 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: they finish up the month with the Rockies and the 658 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: Angels at home. 659 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 7: I mean this sounds like a chance to win some games. Yeah, 660 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 7: I mean, the Red Sox gonna be tough. They get Crochet. 661 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 6: I know that. I understand that the oreol they should 662 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 6: be able to win that series. You would think the 663 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 6: Tigers is gonna be tough, and it all depends on 664 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 6: who they match up with. 665 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 7: Then they get the Orioles for four. 666 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 6: I'm at one of those games, by the way, so 667 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 6: and then they get the Rockies at home and the 668 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 6: Angels for four at home. Listen, they this lines up 669 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 6: for them to at least try to keep up. And listen, 670 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 6: the Mirrors aren't gonna be nine to one every ten 671 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 6: games from now on, So the Mirror's going You know, 672 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 6: you can say whatever you want about the Mirrors, but 673 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 6: going east is a problem for a lot of West 674 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 6: Coast teams. The going east thing hurts a lot of 675 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 6: the West Coast teams. So do I think the Mirrors 676 00:28:57,640 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 6: can do it? 677 00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 7: Yeah? But do I think this linees up nice for 678 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 7: the Astros. Absolutely, yes. 679 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: The one thing for Houston is they don't have any 680 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: off days, so they'll have one this Thursday, then they 681 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: play ten in a row, then they stretch after that 682 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: of thirteen in a row. But they are getting starting 683 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: pitching back right Christian Haab are coming back, like there 684 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: are some guys that were down that are coming back 685 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: that should be able to eat some innings for them, 686 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: so that should help. But that's the rest of August 687 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: schedule for the Astros. Should we look at the who 688 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: do you guys want the Yankees, the Red Sox or 689 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: the Guardians next for this month? Which one do you 690 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: want to look at? 691 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 4: I mean the Yankees are the look at let's go 692 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 4: look at look at the Boston Red Sox because again 693 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 4: I know again they started off that series in San Diego. 694 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,239 Speaker 4: That first game was fun to watch. The Padres give 695 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,479 Speaker 4: them a lot of credit for bouncing back, but I 696 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 4: like the way Boston is playing right now. As we 697 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 4: talked about all these moves that they did not make 698 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 4: the clubhouses saying something different, those dudes are having fun 699 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 4: right now. I'm watching I'm watching these guys play pretty 700 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 4: much every night and there's a buzz. There's a confidence 701 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 4: about them. I think a lot of that has to 702 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 4: do with Trevor's story looking back to his you know, 703 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 4: somewhat his old self, Alex Bregman as well Duran. Again, 704 00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 4: these guys are just fun, explosive and explosive, and they 705 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 4: can tilt the field. 706 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 3: What do we have on Boston? 707 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 2: All right? 708 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: So they have a seventy four point three percent playoff 709 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: odds five oh one strength of schedule over the next 710 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: month here Astros on the road is the series coming 711 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: up here which starts tonight. Marlins at home. They're also 712 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: at home for the Oriols. And I'm keep in mind 713 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 1: with the Marlins, they're pesky, but they had a rough 714 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: five games just now against the Braids. Let's not act 715 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: like the Marlins are the hottest thing. I mean, they 716 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,479 Speaker 1: had a really nice run. You can run into some 717 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: tough starters against them. But anyway, after the Orioles, then 718 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: they're on the road for that big series late August 719 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium. They staywn the road 720 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: for Baltimore again for four Baltimore is just an everyone's 721 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,959 Speaker 1: right right now, and then they go back home at 722 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: the end of the month to take on the Pirates. 723 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 8: How does that sound, camp? 724 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 4: I mean for them, they should be excited about winning 725 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 4: some baseball games. Again, it's there to lose when you 726 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 4: look at that, and again you said it, you don't 727 00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 4: play get any of these games on paper. If anything, 728 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 4: I think you look at what the Yankees did and 729 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 4: when they went into Miami. You know, let's not have that, 730 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 4: you know, lackadaisical mindset, right, take everything serious. But this 731 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 4: is this road is set up for success with them, 732 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 4: so it's up to them to take advantage of it. 733 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 8: Yeah, I'll give you the Rangers as well. 734 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 6: Hold up, hold up, listen, yeah, Picky, the Twins, the 735 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 6: White Sox, the Nationals, the Rays, James.

I know the Cardinals are 737 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 6: in it, right, but the Twins aren't in it, the 738 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 6: Rays aren't in it, the Nationals aren't in it, and 739 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 6: the White Sox aren't in it. 740 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 7: So that's four. 741 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 6: Guess they play the Red Sox Okay, Cardinals Okay, But 742 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 6: like this is set up for the Yankees to get 743 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 6: hot right here. 744 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 4: Boom. 745 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 6: I mean, this should be their their their road where 746 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 6: they pick up some games if they're gonna do this. 747 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 7: This is the road to hoe for. 748 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 4: Me, beside of mindset, right like, this is the time 749 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 4: that you saw I guess a quote from Pray beside 750 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 4: it like it's time to get pissed off, right Like, 751 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 4: I do believe there's a sense of an AJ. 752 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 3: Maybe you can touch on this. 753 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 4: I think sometimes of baseball we talk about like the 754 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 4: mittal and the mechanical, but there's a such thing as 755 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 4: in competing when you just can will yourself to just 756 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 4: when not losing, Like as the group come together collectively 757 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 4: say you know what, screw this.

Here, they've 765 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: got the Diamondbacks at home, Blue Jays on the road 766 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: for three, four, on the road against Kansas City, then 767 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: they're back home for the Guardians and Angels, and on 768 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: the road against the A's. 769 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 7: Doesn't matter, so they score runs. I don't care what 770 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 7: their schedules. 771 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 6: If they don't score runs, I mean de gram dealt 772 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 6: on Saturday.

I don't care who they play. 779 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 6: They could play Cams San Diego's Padres Scalp team. Right. 780 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 7: They're scoring one two runs a game. Padres. 781 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 3: Two years, we might we might have. 782 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: It's a two year problem. Two year problem for the 783 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: Rangers is the offense, and that continues. 784 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 8: I'm with you. Yeah, it was a tough watch this weekend.
