1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,200
Speaker 1: Are you the opening day starter?

2
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 2: No, it'd be it'd be awesome.

3
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,119
Speaker 3: But I think you know Martinez thirteen years of experience

4
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 3: and a hescut or something.

5
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 2: He's the leader of the staff.

6
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 4: Davis Martin is ready to go sitting next to AJ

7
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 4: right now. Davis, great to have you on the show.

8
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 4: Did you just throw a bullpen?

9
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: No, just threw a game. Actually again you you.

10
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: Just threw a game?

11
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 5: No big deal.

12
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: Let it go.

13
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, give us, give us some insight, give

14
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: us a box score.

15
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 3: Plush, Yeah, no, walks, I think six or five or

16
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 3: six k's no hits, three innings one plus it's against

17
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 3: the Asian breeze.

18
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: So let's put that.

19
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Because didn't they play in the Caribbean World Series this year?

20
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: I have no idea. That cat sat next to me

21
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 3: and he's like, all right, let's go. I was like,

22
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 3: are you about give me a scouting report? He goes,

23
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 3: oh no, no, we have no idea who these people are.

24
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: So did you just blow heaters by him?

25
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: What was the slider change up? Baby?

26
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: Ah?

27
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 3: Okay, just the four scenes the jab pitch just for

28
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 3: show these days.

29
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: So you're breaking them off?

30
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, break it off, sinker cutter, No.

31
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: You couldn't pitch in the A game today because it

32
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: was suppos to rain, all right, Murkin, Scott Murkin gave

33
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: us the wrong weather reporting. Is non matching outfit standing

34
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: over there. So well, what's it like? Were you like, Man,

35
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: I want to pitch in the A game instead? I

36
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: got there for sure.

37
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I think you know, I told somebody we

38
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 3: had the Dodgers game went really well. We had a

39
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: B game last week, and then we had another kind

40
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: of adjustment, you know, waight fly and I I just

41
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 3: tried my best to try to adjust and be like,

42
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: you know, this is like in season, like you have

43
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: a really good outing against a really good team and

44
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 3: then you go play Team X and Y then maybe

45
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: not so good, Like you need to lock in for those.

46
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: Get your confidence.

47
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 3: I know, hey, exactly, exactly exactly, No, that's exactly what

48
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: it's been.

49
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's been a good day.

50
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: Are you I'm gonna ask this, and I don't know

51
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 1: the answer to this. I just want to hear your answer.

52
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: Are you the opening day starter?

53
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: Your guess is as good as mine.

54
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Have they said anything to you, because it would be

55
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: between you, Martine, I guess and Jonathan Cannon yep. But

56
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: if you played, because I know used to kind of

57
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: play the days out, you look at a calendar and

58
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: it kind of is that where lines up?

59
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: I don't think so right now? Actually really yeah, I

60
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: don't know.

61
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: Because we saw with the Yankees with Colon down, They're like, well,

62
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: we can't adjust max for you to day to get into.

63
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: The Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.

64
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: I tried to do the counting the other day and

65
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 3: I got confused and I was like, you know what,

66
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go throw it tomorrow and.

67
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: Just following the routine and see where we stay. So yeah, no,

68
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 2: it'd be it'd be awesome.

69
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 3: But I think, you know, Martinez thirteen years of experience

70
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: and a pass count or something, and he's the leader

71
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 3: of the staff. So yeah, I mean, whoever it is,

72
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to go out there and follow whoever.

73
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: It is for one hundred and sixty two games. So

74
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: that matter?

75
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 6: Does that matter to you at this point in your career?

76
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 6: Would that mean as much as you think it should mean?

77
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

78
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: I mean I think an opening day started for a

79
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: major League baseball team, you know, regardless of the situation

80
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: you're in, the teams in that's an honor.

81
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: I think that's an honor because.

82
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: You're you're the number one guy in that staff, and

83
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: guys look at you to succeed, and guys look at

84
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: you for for confidence, and you know, like I like

85
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: I said, I've got to see Dylan Ceas and his

86
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 3: prime as a as the opening day guy. And I

87
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 3: got to see Garrett Crochet and that kind of presence

88
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 3: that they keep in the locker room and they keep

89
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: on the field like it's something that it's exciting to

90
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: be that guy. So I think that you'd be lying

91
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: if you said he didn't want it.

92
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 6: Is it that hard to like shift your days? Kind

93
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 6: of bring up the whole Yankees conversation that A J

94
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 6: Was just talking about. Wouldn't it be that hard, like

95
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 6: right now if you were to say, Okay, you're sliding

96
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 6: the pitch day two of the season, be able to

97
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 6: fix yourself to be able to go day one?

98
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think there's some there's some off

99
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 3: days in there where I think they can switch some

100
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: stuff around. And I know, like Shane Smith and I

101
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: threw today at the same day, so like there's gonna

102
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: have to be some some switching around just to get

103
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: guys in the right spot.

104
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: But again that's not my job, so I'll.

105
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: Sure to throw you just do what they tell you.

106
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: I'm just going out.

107
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: If that calt I mean, if that call does come

108
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: and Ethank calls you in the office and will call

109
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: you in, what's the feeling going to be like opening

110
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: day Anaheim in Chicago. First hitter will be maybe two manners?

111
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I mean it's I think it'll be

112
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: rewarding for sure. I mean, after you know, coming back

113
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: from TJ, kind of putting myself back together after twenty

114
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: twenty three season and most of twenty four. You know,

115
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: I think it'd be a lot of hard work kind

116
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 3: of paying off. But like I said, it's it's one

117
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: thing to be named the opening day starter, but you

118
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 3: still got to go out there for thirty three and

119
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,559
Speaker 3: show every time why you are the opening day starter.

120
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: So, David's a question for you.

121
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 4: I remember hearing some lines from you last year about

122
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 4: going through what was a difficult season for the team.

123
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 4: Obviously for you, you were able to show some really

124
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 4: impressive things on the mound. Can you describe for our

125
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 4: fans how you were approaching things sometimes with I mean

126
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 4: you'll describe it better than I can, maybe, but some

127
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 4: humor when something didn't go your way, or there was

128
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 4: this stick, you know, game saving cats that robbed you

129
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 4: guys of a win, stuff like that.

130
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, yah, I got I got Gavin Sheets destroyed

131
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: me after that. He's like, oh ha ha, this is

132
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: very funny. And I was like, but no, I mean

133
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 3: it's just like there was I mean, you like watching baseball,

134
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: there's things that happen that you're just like, holy, like this,

135
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 3: this literally can't get any worse.

136
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: Like I think the robbing of the home run Jen Jennik.

137
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 1: He's not your teammate, but I looked at I.

138
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: Was like, bo, this is the guy. This is the

139
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: guy that did it to.

140
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 3: Us, and you know, like I I will forever remember it.

141
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: Jenakowski's whole torso is in our left field bullpen. And

142
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: I look at Crochet and I was just like what

143
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: is going on? And he just starts laughing at me,

144
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: and I'm just like I don't get it. I truly

145
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: don't get it. So yeah, I mean there were so

146
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: many times last year that you're just like you can say,

147
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 3: like curse, bad luck, whatever it is.

148
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: But like at one point.

149
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 3: You just got to get over it and you just

150
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: laugh about it because it's just it is truly like

151
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: this couldn't stack up against this so much like it's

152
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:52,559
Speaker 3: it was awful.

153
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: It'll be better this year, I promise. I'm telling you

154
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: right now, it will not. It will not be as

155
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: bad as it was. Yeah, what are you working on

156
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: this spring? Do you have a new because everyone's got

157
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: the kick change and the knuckle slider.

158
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't have to kick change back then.

159
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: But isn't that just a change up?

160
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: No?

161
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: Man, you know the sweeper which was a slider, and

162
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: we're like, oh, Jeff Nelson throws a slider, just goes

163
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: a little more and right, it goes a little more

164
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: this way instead of this way.

165
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah no, I mean so yeah, I had to change

166
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 2: kick change last year.

167
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: So what we don't We don't have a ball.

168
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 3: But what's the difference, because basically, you're it's a cheat

169
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 3: for guys who pro.

170
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 2: Like that's super and eight really well, so they go

171
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 2: this way?

172
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, So like I'm really good at spinning the ball.

173
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: Like I can spin the ball, I can throw a slider,

174
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: I can throw a cutter, I can throw all that stuff,

175
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 3: and I and after TJ, Like I was here pre

176
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 3: TJ and now I'm like here, so like I'm a

177
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: little more on the side of the ball.

178
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: So the four seam that used to be.

179
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: Oh, your hands are dirty? What did you put on

180
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: the ball?

181
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 3: They don't worry about it. Sunscreen spot out here my life.

182
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just I'm just kidding, just kidding.

183
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, and that's the thing.

184
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, it's so it's basically a way for

185
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 3: for pronators or supernators excuse me, to cheat to get

186
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 3: to that three o'clock axis like a Devin Williams. Like

187
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: a Devin Williams can come inside the ball and throw

188
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 3: it and it comes out like a saucer. Right, So

189
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 3: like the kick change, you come through it and that

190
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: middle finger will basically kick the axis from like twelve

191
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 3: thirty whatever it may be spinning like this, and it'll

192
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: kick it to about a two forty five three o'clock

193
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: and that gives the downward shoot.

194
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: So how do you how do you get that? How

195
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: do you?

196
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 7: So?

197
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: I literally just hits a two seam grip, So like

198
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 3: if the two scenes were here, you literally just climb

199
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 3: with your knuckle high like this and you just throw shit.

200
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: Out of it, really and it just pol and it

201
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: just goes. Yeah.

202
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: And I think last year we had some issues with

203
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: it sometimes where it kind of run away, and so

204
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: me and Kat started calling it the power knuckle split

205
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: because I needed to think of it like a splitter,

206
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: because if I thought of it like a change up,

207
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: it sucked. It was just straight across. Lefties would get

208
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: their barrel on it. If you think straight down. That's

209
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: where we're going.

210
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: Swings and misses.

211
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,640

Speaker 1: Again, He went on, he actually is so big time.

256
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: He got a ride to the field. The field is

257
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: like ten feet from here too.

258
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: Yes, he's lazy.

259
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 6: He's lazy. He's lazy.

260
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 1: All right, wait, so we've interrupted you. Yeah, now did

261
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: like do you sit there and you go to track

262
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,239
Speaker 1: man or you go to whatever you guys use repsodo

263
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: and you and you throw one and then you do

264
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: the slow motion cameras and they show you and then

265
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, I'm gonna adjust my grip just a

266
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: little bit.

267
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: So when I first threw it, I needed to see

268
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 3: like what I was doing, like, because I just they

269
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 3: basically were just like, hey, grip it, like Banny was

270
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: like gripple like this boll shit of it and I

271
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 3: just go and I was like, oh, but then like

272
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 3: we started getting a little flatter, we start having some issues,

273
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 3: and I was like, I need to see what we're doing.

274
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: And then once I saw.

275
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: It, I was like, I don't want to look at

276
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 3: it again because I don't even know how that works.

277
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: So then it just turned into like throw s butter.

278
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: Okay, and it just works.

279
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: Wait for the simple simple mindset.

280
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 3: I like it like Texas Tech Education, rack them maybe,

281

00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 6: We're not gonna ambush Davis's interview here because I have

317
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 6: the ultimate Sergio story. But we're not gonna ambush it

318
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 6: because I saw when he trans pitching. Anyway, continue in

319
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 6: your golf outing story, because that sounds way more awesome

320
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 6: than any of the Fiddlesticks games that Pedro was putting

321
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 6: you guys through last year.

322
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we we did. We had a we had

323
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: a lot of fun.

324
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 3: There was a lot of shit talking, and then it

325
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: actually ended up being a tie at the end of

326
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 3: eighteen holes. And so then they had to go out

327
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 3: on field one at eight am and do a flop

328
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 3: shot at one hundred yards uh, every other shot, alternating shots,

329
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: and you know, you could just tell, like the competition,

330
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 3: everybody's having fun, but like there is like it was

331
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 3: a good team bonding experience instead of just you know, hey,

332
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: let's all go sit at a dinner table and talk

333
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: about what we did that day when we're like, yeah,

334
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 3: it was right next to you doing PFP's all day long.

335
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: It wasn't really much to it.

336
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: So I think, you again, we have a good, good

337
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 3: group of core guys that are younger. I know, the

338
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 3: pitching staff is has been really good with each other.

339
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 3: Martine came in and filled that veteran leadership role really

340
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 3: well with all the young starters, and you know, we're

341
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: learning him he's learning us and and so far it's

342
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: been it's been great.

343
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, definitely feels a lot different.

344
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: Tom Boffi on their team.

345
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: Dude, Bafia couldn't barely walkday.

346
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: I saw him on the Instagram of him beeting a

347
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: flop shot. Baffi is one of the clubhouse guys and

348
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: he was all and I told him when I saw him, like, dude,

349
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: don't ever put yourself on TV playing golf again or

350
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 1: on the internet.

351
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: Yeah he was. Yeah, Well, apparently, funny story.

352
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 3: They tied. Baffia was the team that tied, and they

353
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 3: think he was in charge of countings and he thinks

354
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: Polish and he thinks he counted wrong. He should they

355
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 3: should have been eleven under instead of ten under. And

356
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 3: all of us were like, why did you let the

357
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: guy that turned forty years old have the time of

358
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 3: his life out there being charge of scorekeeping. It seems

359
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: like your own fault. Yes, yes, And so that team

360
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 3: ended up losing the shot for shots. So yeah, no,

361
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: it's yeah, there's a big asterisk on it. We're already

362
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 3: tearing up for year two next year, so yeah, it's

363
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 3: gonna be fun.

364
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: Okay, And for the people that again Buffy is one

365
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: of the clubhouse guys. He's Polish like me, so we

366
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: always go back and forth about Polish people. So I'm

367
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: allowed to say that before anybody gets off freaking out

368
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: at the internet.

369
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: Put a big astroistart a Polish County take out. Yeah,

370
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: all right.

371
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: What I want to know before we let you go?

372
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: What does Davis Martin do when he's not thinking about

373
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: kick changes and pitching and all that. What's your thing

374
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,760

Speaker 5: It's been good.

424
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 7: So many young guys, like we've talked about the whole spring,

425
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 7: new faces. You know, it's like the first day of school,

426
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 7: getting to know everybody, getting to know, you know, the vibes,

427
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 7: what we're about, just kind of, you know, making our

428
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 7: own identity out of this and.

429
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: What is that?

430
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 6: What is that identity? What is the White Sox identity

431
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 6: for this season?

432
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, the biggest thing we talked about coming

433
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,480

434
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 7: gonna be competition day one to spring. We're all here grinding,

435
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 7: you know, guys are playing for jobs, and I think

436
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 7: that makes an atmosphere that's you know, competitive, and we

437
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 7: go out and play good baseball.

438
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: You're not grinding for a job, are you. You're not.

439
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean you've got a job, yeah, but.

440
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 5: You always got to think about that.

441
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 7: You gotta go out there and no matter what, it

442
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 7: could be our last day in this uniform, play like

443
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 7: it's our last what.

444
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: What is your job on this team is with all

445
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: the young guys and all the trades that were made

446
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,080

Speaker 1: for this guy, or do you just do that naturally?

453
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 5: It's something specific.

454
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 7: I think it's just, you know, when I came up,

455

Speaker 7: we had so many veteran guys on the team and

456

00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 6: Was there somebody that you connected with specifically in that

470
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 7: didn't matter how he was feeling, he went out and

471
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 7: you know, he played, he posted.

472
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,479
Speaker 6: Was what was it surprising when he went to Houston

473
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 6: and had the struggles that he had after you saw.

474
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 2: The guy that he was.

475
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it honestly hurt me to watch him

476
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 7: because I know how much how much work he puts in,

477
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 7: and you know how much he loves this game and

478
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 7: how hard he goes every single day. You know, he

479
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 7: was my team and obviously I wanted the best of

480
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 7: success for him.

481
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: What you made an adjustment to your swing last year

482
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: and kind of at the end towards the end of

483
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: the year, what was the adjustment and what did it change?

484
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 7: I was really trying to simplify you know, I was

485
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 7: sitting a lot of balls on the ground, rolling over,

486
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 7: you know, just missing pitches that I shouldn't and it

487
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 7: was just kt the cage and really focus on not

488
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 7: missing those.

489
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 5: In the big leagues, you know it.

490
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 7: You might get one pitching it bat, you might not

491
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 7: get it, and when you get it, you can't miss

492
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 7: that hitch.

493
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So what I think happened is so last

494
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: year in spring training you went to Kanerico's house and

495
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 1: you worked with him, right, and then you stopped listening

496
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: to him and you went to Jim Tomy, and now

497
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: you're working with Tomy. So if it was me, I

498
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: would rather listen to Tomy than Conerico.

499
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 5: You know, it was so cool yesterday.

500
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 1: Ando was here yesterday, right, So did you tell him

501
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: when you saw him, You're like, Paul, you're out, Jim

502
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: you're in.

503
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 5: Well, you should have seen the bench yesterday.

504
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 7: It was Jermaine, Jim and Paul, and I was just

505
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 7: sitting there going how many home runs are sitting on

506
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 7: that bench right there?

507
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 5: I was like, that's pretty impressive.

508
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

509
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. So when when Swisher was here, we had Griffy, Jermaine, Jim,

510
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: Paul right and Swisher goes, I want to get a

511
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: picture with all of us. And at the time, Griffy

512
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: had like five six hundred homers or whatever. Jim had

513
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: got five hundred, Jermaine and Paul both had three hundred,

514
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: and He's like, in me, I have a hundred the group. Yes,

515
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: he was like, I want to add myself to this,

516
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: this group of prolific home runners. Oh that was Swish though, for.

517
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 6: With all those elite superstars that are there, when it

518
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 6: just like when it kind of like bringing it back

519
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 6: down to earth a little bit. If Aj were in camp,

520
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 6: it would.

521
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 5: Be nice to see him little bit more.

522
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd love to be here Cratzy, but uh, you know,

523
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: there's there's there's some extenuating circumstances there. We'll just we'll

524
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: use that as the proper term. I'd love to work

525
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: with these guys.

526
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 6: I'm glad you're there now.

527
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: I got my one I get my one day here

528
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: to go walk in and say hi to these guys.

529
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: I love these guys. I mean I've known Andrew forever.

530
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: I mean I've known all these guys for a long time,

531
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: So I mean I want these guys to do well.

532
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks I don't want the White Sox to win. Dude,

533
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 1: I want you all to do well. Listen. I wear

534
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: white Sox gear and people look at me and like,

535
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: why are you wearing white? So I'm like, dude, I

536
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: like the White Sox. I want them to win. I

537
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: don't want them to do crappy, Von.

538
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 6: He wants you guys to win. He doesn't want you

539
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 6: guys to win a World Series. He wants to make

540
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 6: sure he's still He's still the I know it's not true,

541
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 6: but it's it's fun. It's fun to make fun of him, Von, Hey.

542
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 2: What would your career?

543
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 6: Do you ever think about what your career would be

544
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 6: different if you had gotten drafted by a different team?

545
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 6: You were the number three or number two overall, number three,

546
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 6: number three, so there wasn't many teams that had a

547
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 6: choice to pick you. But have you Do you ever

548
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 6: look at the other two teams and go, I wonder

549
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 6: how much different development, how much more I would have

550
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 6: spent in the minor leagues, how much less I would

551
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 6: have spent in the minor leagues, all that stuff.

552
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 7: You know, I really don't. I've never actually we thought

553
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 7: about that. Just blessed to be able to you know

554
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 7: play his game as you guys know this. It's it's special.

555
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 7: We get to wake up and play a kid's game

556
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 7: for a living. And I wouldn't change anything for the world.

557
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 4: Andrew, what's your best memory in the Big League so far?

558
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 4: And you could do too if you want, one individual

559
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 4: and one team oriented.

560
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 7: Okay, I think one of the coolest was I had

561
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 7: to learn how to play outfield in spring training.

562
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 5: Never really done it.

563
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 7: I think it was the first month Rodn throwing against

564
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 7: Cleveland when I'm playing left field and he's got a

565
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 7: no hitter going through seven innings and I think he

566
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 7: was Avermris comes up hitting righty guy, smashes baseballs and

567
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 7: smokes the line drive right at me. I didn't have

568
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 7: to move and I caught it, and I was like,

569
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 7: did I really just do that? And then we get

570
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 7: to the end of the game and I was like,

571
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 7: actually threw a no hitter and I was playing left field,

572
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 7: so I kind of giggled about that. I think that's

573
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 7: probably my favorite, honest going to the playoffs can't beat that.

574
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 7: That atmosphere is crazy, forty something thousand people, loudest place

575
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 7: I've ever heard in Chicago.

576
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: In Chicago Okay, I was gonna say, just didn't you

577
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: guess you're on the twenty teams in Oakland with no people?

578
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 5: Right? I was on taxi squad.

579
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: I was in the taxis. You're in the stands. Did

580
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: they charge you for a ticket?

581
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 5: We were the only people in the stands.

582
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: Now, you were sitting next to the you have a

583
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: had a big beard down left hild you go sit

584
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: by the teddy beard down the left field.

585
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 5: They kept us in the section on the right field line.

586
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: Or so I wanted. Well, Kratzy was on that. That was

587
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: Crotchy last year. But I've never heard this story. So

588
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: were you guys cheering for your team or were you

589
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: just all told like just sit here and don't make

590
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: a noise.

591
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 7: I mean we were cheering for the boys. Of course,

592
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 7: we're all together. You know most of the year, a

593
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 7: lot of guys up and down through Schanberg, and you know,

594
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 7: it was pretty exciting even though there was literally nobody there.

595
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: So like, when, when, uh, who got the was it

596
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: ELOI who got someone hit a big home or somewhere

597
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: in that.

598
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 5: When Louis hit one?

599
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: Soon did you guys stand up and we're like, yeah, yeah.

600
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 7: I think We're all in shock because it literally hit

601
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 7: above the suites in left center field.

602
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 5: That's the finest ball I've ever seen it.

603
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, the fans when whenever, the fans, because the games

604
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 6: that we played, we didn't even have the alt site guys,

605
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 6: the taxi squad guys in the stands. They were back

606
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 6: at the hotel. But like, there was a family section

607
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 6: that was in the bubble, and then there's another family

608
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 6: section on the complete opposite end of the stadium. And

609
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 6: so if the Guardians would score, then you would hear

610
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 6: that little section of the stadium. If the if the

611
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 6: Yankees would score, you'd hear that little family section. So

612
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 6: I lived that with you.

613
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 2: But let's go back.

614
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 6: Let's go back to twenty nineteen when you and I

615
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 6: were teammates in Japan. You were fresh. I mean you

616
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 6: were fresh. I was telling you off screen before we started.

617
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 6: You bought a puppy the year that we started playing,

618
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 6: and you're talking about being a vet. Now this puppy

619
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 6: was like unbelievable. But I'm like, you are so young

620
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 6: to be having a puppy. Did you feel like you

621
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 6: had to mature early in the situation where you were

622
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 6: you were plopped right into a playoff team right away,

623
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 6: just two or three years after getting drafted.

624
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.

625
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 7: You know, I think through college kind of understanding you

626
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 7: know how everything in the world works, kind of figuring

627
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 7: out I was gonna get drafted.

633
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 7: That's so funny to think about. I think, what five

634
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 7: and a half years of five and a half years

635
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 7: ago still looks the same.

636
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 5: She's still a little teddy bear.

637
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 4: Welld Ginger, I got a random one for you, but

638
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 4: I thought about it.

639
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: Oh goodness, really hold on yeah, both, Walking by both,

640
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: I said, I asked Loe to come on bo Jackson,

641
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: He said, give him twenty million. That's his discount.

642
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 5: We can do it.

643
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: Is that Pasos or Yan? What is that? You never

644
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: know you're gonna see a White Sox camp.

645
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 4: By the way, love that we got the whole the

646
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 4: whole cast here today. Well on that front, super random.

647
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 4: I forgot about this name until I don't know if

648
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 4: it was aj or somebody brought it up the other

649
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 4: day and it was a team ety years several years ago,

650
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 4: and it just had me thinking about how quickly things

651
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 4: can change. Do you remember that your mean Mercedes hype

652
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 4: train and how you know good he was for a

653
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 4: quick period of time And obviously you know isn't playing

654
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 4: in the bigs anymore. But do you think of moments

655
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 4: like that and does that help to you know, make

656
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 4: you appreciate how quickly things can change, because I mean

657
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 4: we were talking about his baseball card being like one

658
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 4: hundred x value and then going all the way back

659
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 4: to zero like in a matter of I don't know,

660
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 4: two months.

661
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know that running had was crazy. I mean,

662
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 7: guys couldn't get him out. But that just goes to

663
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 7: show the game of baseball, anything can happen on any

664
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 7: given day.

665
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 5: You know.

666
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 7: Granted, is tough to get in the box and hit,

667
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 7: but if you got the skills, I mean, sometimes you

668
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 7: can just take off and run with it. But this

669
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 7: game will humble you so fast you can't take a

670
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 7: single day.

671
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: For granted, did he go wrong. I mean you were

672
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: there for it when he swung three to zero and

673
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: then he got annihilated by the manager and that's kind

674
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: of from that moment he just went like, who did

675
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: that just rip his confidence out?

676
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 5: I don't know, but that.

677
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: Was And he had a bomb too. It wasn't like he's.

678
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 7: Popped it up on forty miar pitch and he hit

679
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 7: it like five hundred feet.

680
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that ball was crushed.

681
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean it was like because he was on top.

682
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he had to change and he had the

683
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: whole thing going, and then all of a sudden that happened,

684
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: and then he was called out and then he just went.

685
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 5: Gone, Yeah, this game, Wow, this game.

686
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: It was crazy. What about Cory Lee? Corey Lee is

687
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: your college teammate. Did you tell the White Sox to

688
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: trade for him?

689
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 5: I did not.

690
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 7: I didn't even know it was gonna happen. We were

691
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 7: actually roommates in college too.

692
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: Your roommates. Now, No, does he take the dog out

693
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:19,800

00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 7: Got his own dog. I got my own dog. That's

695
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 7: too much, you know, it's crazy. I got a phone call.

696
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 7: He calls me and we hadn't talked him probably a

697
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 7: couple months. This season was going on, and he's like, hey,

698
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 7: I'll see you tomorrow. I said what he said, I

699
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 7: just got traded to you guys, and I was like,

700
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 7: you got to be kidding me.

701
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 5: That's kind of cool.

702
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 7: So that year he actually did live with me for

703
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 7: the month so he didn't have to find a place

704
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 7: to stay.

705
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 5: But I thought that was pretty sweet.

706
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 6: Who's somebody in camp that we should watch that we

707
