1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: I do my best to try and focus on my

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: day to day routine and come in every day try

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: and do what I can to prepare for the game,

4
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: but it's definitely something that crosses your mind.

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: Hunter Goodman joins us right now on the show Rockies

Speaker 2: you personally. Obviously it's not a dream season for the team,

12
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: But how is this for you to see so much

13

Speaker 2: success so far this year?

14
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been good. I mean successes.

15
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: The team has been what we wanted obviously, but I've

16
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: had a lot of first this year and it's been

17
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: a lot of fun just being up here all year

18
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: and having some success.

19
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 5: What's been the best part for you personally? Before we

20
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 5: get into the team aspect, what's been the best part

21
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,639
Speaker 5: of you personally? Mentioned first, like your first opening day

22
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 5: star what's been the best part for you personally?

23
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: I think the best part this year is uh, I

24
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: kind of know my role a lot better than the

25
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: previous two years and just getting back behind the plate again.

26
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 4: First, my first full.

27
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: Season behind the plate since since college basically, So it's

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: very exciting just this offseason working behind the dish and

29
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: getting ready to catch a lot more this year.

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 6: Is that too much? I mean, we talk about changing

31
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 6: positions all the time. A lot of the big news

32
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 6: around Denvers was, oh, I'm not changing I'm not changing

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 6: the position. We talked about it the other day with

34
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 6: Ben Wright about Ben Rice. The other day, AJ and

35
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 6: I were like, you, it's live fire, is what AJ said.

36
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 6: Getting back there behind a dish in a big league game.

37
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 6: How tough has that been? Learning on the fly? I mean,

38
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 6: not learning on the fly, but getting back in there

39
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 6: on the fly.

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say, I mean, I would say the

41
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: first month was kind of a grind, just getting back

42
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: into the whole scouting reports, and there's there's a lot

43
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: to go into it pregame, and there's a lot that

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: goes into it during the game. But getting back used

45
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: to it and playing one position again, not bouncing around

46
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: different positions has been has been helpful.

47
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 5: I think for me, what's been the hardest part about

48
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 5: catching again? I mean, you mentioned scouting reports, but what's

49
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 5: been the besides is it physical or mental? Because people

50
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 5: would ask me all the time, you know, hey, you

51
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 5: catch every game, are you tired? And I was never

52
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 5: physically really tired. It was more of a mental grind

53
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 5: that I would go through. So what's the hardest part?

54
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 5: Is it to getting up every day to catch physically

55
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 5: or is it like, man, I got nine ings by

56
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 5: an addition, I got to get our dudes through it.

57
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

58
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's definitely some days physically you're

59
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: tired obviously throughout a long season, but there's days mentally

60
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: where you're just like, man, we got to figure out

61
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: how to get these guys through, how to get these

62
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: guys out. So I think it's a combination of both.

63
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 1: It just kind of depends on the day.

64
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 6: What about your swing. In the offseason, everybody says, oh, man,

65
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 6: like I'm doing this to change this all that, and

66
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 6: then you go into season you're like, I'm gonna make

67
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 6: an all start team. Now you're on that path. Do

68
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 6: you sit there and go, oh, man, I guess I

69
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 6: wish I was catching this whole time because it's helped

70
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 6: my swing Because I'm not. Maybe you're not thinking about

71
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 6: it as much and you're just going out there and

72
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 6: hitting because you got all this catching stuff going on.

73
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've said that a lot. I mean, I think

74
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: there's numbers to back it up. Like when I catch,

75
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: I seem to perform a lot better at the plate,

76
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of that is the mental

77
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: side of Like when you're catching a lot of the

78
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: other the defensive side of the ball is typically more

79
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: important than the offense that day. I mean, you still

80
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: want to perform, but at the end of the day,

81
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: you got to try and keep the other team from scoring,

82
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: and I think.

83
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: That takes a lot of pressure off at bats.

84
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: True.

85
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 5: True, All right, I gotta ask a team question, and

86
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 5: I don't even know how you would answer this.

87
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 3: Did you think it would be this bad? You? Did

88
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: anybody think it would be this? I mean, geez.

89
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 5: I mean it's like, I feel sorry for the players,

90
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 5: but because we're in the big leagues, I get it.

91
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 5: But it's like, man, did you think it would be

92
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 5: this bad?

93
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think anybody thought it would it

94
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: would go like it has.

95
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 4: But I think the way we're moving now, as.

96
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: Far as the as far as the last two or

97
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: three weeks ago, we've been we've been competing in games

98
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: and we've gotten a few wins. I mean, the results

99
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: still aren't aren't the best, but I think we're moving

100
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: in the right direction.

101
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 6: What does that direction look like? In the game, You're

102
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 6: you're back there behind a dish and you're starting You're

103
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 6: starting to like feel the flow of the game. You're like,

104
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 6: all right, you know we're gonna go you know, Kindley's

105
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 6: gonna be going in here, Bird's gonna be coming into

106
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 6: a spot. Do you help talk talk the coaches through

107
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 6: that so that you're like, Hey, I'm feeling this situation.

108
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 6: We need to stick with this guy? Or is it

109
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 6: not like that for you where you're at in your career.

110
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: I haven't really gotten to a point where I kind

111
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: of do that yet. I mean, we'll have conversations about

112
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: the starter, say it's the he goes through the fifth

113
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: comes back in, like, hey, is this stuff looking does he?

114
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: Is he good to go another one? Is this stuff

115
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: looking good? And we'll have conversations like that. But I

116
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: haven't really gotten to a point of like being like,

117
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: all right, let's try and get this guy in here

118
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: or anything like that.

119
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 6: Can you see a difference in your pitchers stuff calling

120
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 6: from Colorado and then catching them when they're on the road.

121
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a huge difference in the way the

122
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: ball moves and how the ball, how the ball reacts

123
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: at sea level and elevation, and like there's some guys

124
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: that we use different pitches different ways at the different locations.

125
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: For sure, can they sit you in go ahead?

126
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 6: Oh? I thought AJ was going sorry they.

127
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, do they sit you down before

128
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 3: a series?

129
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 5: Like you guys are in Washington today, Do they sit

130
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: you down and say, Okay, so and so is pitching today.

131
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 5: This cutter will be better in Washington than it is

132
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 5: in Colorado. And then when you get to Colorado, do

133
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 5: you say, well, his curve ball will be better in

134
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 5: Colorado than it is in Washington because of the altitude.

135
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's definitely sometimes we'll talk about pitch

136
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: mix in Colorado and in say today, in Washington, certain

137
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: pitches will be better than it would be if we

138
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: were facing him in Denver.

139
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 4: So there's definitely sometimes we'll talk about that.

140
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,799
Speaker 2: Krat's real question for you. So I'm in arena club

141
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: and I opened up a slab pack. I pulled a

142
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: Wyatt Langford auto rookie card I got an immediate offer

143
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: from Arena Club. I turned it down. It was in

144
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: the mid three hundredth range. I've gotten a few offers since.

145
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: Thoughts on whyitet? Should I hold on?

146
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 6: I saw it. I didn't see it when you rip

147
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 6: the pack, but it looks so sick with everything around

148
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 6: and how it's spinning in your showroom. That John looked nice.

149
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 6: But no, you shouldn't sell it. Maybe wait till he

150
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 6: makes an all start or two and all of a

151
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 6: sudden that three hundred goes up and you're gonna get

152
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 6: another instant off of right away on Arena Club.

153
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: That's right, bye, sell trade slab packs are there for

154
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: you too to rip a pack, And for me, I'm

155
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: just leaving it in the showroom for now deciding what

156
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: I'm going to do with it. But if I did

157
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,560

Speaker 6: come to you? And go?

164
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: Hey?

165
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 6: The last time I was at home, my cutter was

166
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 6: sinking and my sinker was cutting.

167
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we've we've definitely, I've had conversations with

168
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: pitchers about that. There's been there's been games in Denver

169
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: that we'll just we'll just bang a pitch because it's

170
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: just not moving the right way that day or whatever

171
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: it is. So there's definitely times where you got to

172
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: you gotta adjust on the fly.

173
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 5: Hunter, What was it like, I know this is is

174
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 5: kind of rough to talk about, but I went through

175
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 5: at once.

176
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 3: What was it like when you got to call the

177
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: Bud Black was let go during the season. Was it like,

178
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: oh wow?

179
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 5: Or was it like, man, I don't know what to

180
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 5: do because you're a younger guy on a team, right,

181
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 5: You're trying to establish yourself, you're having a great year.

182
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 5: Was that eye opening for not only you but some

183
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 5: of the vets that are on this team that were like, wow, guys,

184
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 5: we need to pick this up as players.

185
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean for me, it was a little weird.

186
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: I've never gone through something like that before. And I

187
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: knew Bud. I mean I obviously didn't have him as

188
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: long as some of the veterans did, so I didn't

189
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: have as I guess, deep of a relationship. So it

190
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: was definitely weird, and I know, I know it affected

191
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: some of the vets a little more, and but I

192
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: think so far having warn he's done a great job

193
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of guys like him a lot.

194
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 6: So all right, what about Clint? You gotta do hitting

195
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 6: coach in you were raking when Bam Bam was in

196
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 6: and then you keep raking with Clint in is Clint?

197
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 6: Does he need to like be quiet when he's in

198
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 6: the cage because cages get loud and his voice is

199
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 6: just obnoxiously loud. Does he And also does he actually

200
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 6: flip to you guys, because oh, yeah, great, great job hunter,

201
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 6: right right, great job, You're a great, great great job.

202
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: Uh. Now, I mean he's he's the same guy every day.

203
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: He's he's a he's just a loud guy, I mean,

204
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: and I think I think there's good good that comes

205
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: from that.

206
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 4: I mean, he brings good energy. But no, he doesn't

207
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 4: flip in the cage. We have we have Nick Wilson

208
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 4: and Jordan Checko and they do a great job in

209
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 4: the cage and Clint's Clint's there for support outside of

210
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 4: the cage.

211
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 5: All right, does he are you on his email list?

212
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 5: Have you heard about his email list retends motivational emails

213
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 5: out every day to people to like ten thousand people.

214
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 5: I'm not on that list, but are you on this list?

215
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 4: Yeah?

216
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: Well he I don't get emails. He does, he does text,

217
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: He'll text, He'll text us the motivation.

218
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: So well, give us an example.

219
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 5: I need an example of a Clint Hurdle motivation because

220
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 5: all I know Clint Hurdle is what Eric said when

221
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 5: I played against him. All you hear him just go

222
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 5: from the dugout and I'm like, dude, can you please stop?

223
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't really have an example off

224
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 4: the top of my head.

225
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's just like you get a text in

226
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: and it'll be like a quote from somebody or something

227
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: like that that just or it'll be a quote from

228
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 1: him for the day, just trying to I guess, keep

229
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: you in a positive mindset or get you going for

230
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: the day.

231
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 2: Hunter, we're about what three weeks away from the All

232
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 2: Star Game?

233
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 3: Real talk?

234
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: Is that on your mind at all? Because yeah, I

235
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: mean we've gone over some ups and downs of the season.

236
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: You're having a great year. It's something that there's no

237
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: player in the league isn't excited about, especially for a

238
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: first time. So it's something like that on your mind

239
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: that you could be in Atlanta representing the top players

240
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: in the world.

241
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

242
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's, like you said, you see it everywhere,

243
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: So it's definitely crossed my mind. I do my best to, Uh,

244
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: I do my best to try and just focus on

245
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: my day to day routine and come in every day,

246
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: try and do what I can to prepare for the game.

247
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 4: But it's definitely something that crosses your mind.

248
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: All right.

249
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 6: I know you're preparing every day for your game, But

250
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 6: what was your first reaction when you saw the Dev's

251
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 6: trade to San France.

252
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a huge trade. I was, uh.

253
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean we were on the we were on the

254
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: plane last night when we saw it. So, I mean,

255
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of guys talking about it. I think,

256
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's wild. I don't think many people

257
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: expected that at all.

258
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 5: Are you? Are you more excited about Devs getting traded

259
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 5: to your division in San fran or the fact that

260
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 5: Showhy is going to start pitching again in your division,

261
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 5: Like what is happening in your division? Everything is going

262
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 5: to the National League West at this point.

263
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if I'm really excited about either.

264
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: I don't really want to call I don't really want

265
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: to call pitches to devs that often, and.

266
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 4: I wouldn't refer to face show Hey. You know.

267
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 6: What you think is gonna be tougher facing Showy as

268
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 6: a hitter or calling pitches as show Hey is hitting.

269
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: As far as right now, I've never faced show Hey,

270
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: but I've called pitches to him a lot, and call

271
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: him pitches to him is not fun.

272
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 4: It's really hard to do.

273
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: So I think I think as of right now, I

274
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: haven't faced him yet, So I think i'd say i'd

275
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: rather face him in the box.

276
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 6: Show Hey's gonna throw the ball right down the middle.

277
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 6: Just look for it, right down the middle. He doesn't

278
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 6: throw anything extra crazy. He doesn't throw one hundred and

279
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 6: nine unless this unless this Tommy John surgery really did something.

280
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 6: So it's just another baseball down the middle. Way easier

281
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 6: to hit against him.

282
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, for sure.

283
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey Hunter, I've got one more free at. You know,

284
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: I brought up the All Star question. I would think

285
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: this is a layup. But is there anyone else that

286
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: we should point out on your team? I feel like

287
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 2: we mentioned Jake Bird here, is that the guy who's

288
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: just been incredible out of the bullpen that you'd be like, hey,

289
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: this is one of the better relievers in baseball right now,

290
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: and if so, can you give us a little either

291
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: scatting report or something we might not know about him?

292
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 2: Because obviously, I would say most baseball fans that they're

293
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 2: a fan of another team or they're a casual fan,

294
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: probably don't know.

295
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Jake Bird's definitely definitely a guy in

296
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 4: our bullpen. He comes in.

297
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it feels like every time he comes in,

298
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a shutdown ending. I mean, he's striking

299
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: a lot of guys out and he brings I mean,

300
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: with the way that our season has been going, he

301
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: still brings that fire and his personality. He gets fired

302
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: up and it's great to see. I mean, he definitely

303
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: deserves it for sure.

304
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 5: Okay, last thing before we let you go. You're in Washington.

305
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 5: You came from Atlanta. Does Rosie have the Popeyes Chicken

306
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 5: out in Washington? Because that was like his go to move.

307
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 5: Rosie's a clubhouse guy in Washington. Does he have the

308
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 5: Popeyes out for you guys?

309
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 4: I don't know. I haven't even been to the lunch

310
00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 4: room yet, to be honest.

311
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 3: Well, what listen, your catcher, dude.

312
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 5: The first thing you have to do as a catcher

313
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,040
