1
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: How many finals of Champagne have you used here today?

2
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: Kill Hello Sago. Probably more than ten.

3
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 2: And I learned that with champagne, instead of drinking it, you.

4
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: Should absorb it with your skin.

5
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 3: It feels better.

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 4: Yell me, I mean shout out to show to in Mianaga,

7
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 4: his translator, and Taylor McGregor, who has the best laugh

8
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 4: in all of baseball. T mac Congratulations to the Chicago

9
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 4: Cubs clinching a post season birth. Of course, in the

10
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five season, this has been a team, guys

11
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 4: that I wasn't sure how they were gonna fare in

12
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 4: the NL Central. Obviously the Brewers win the division, but

13
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 4: the Cubs have been very strong all year long. AJ

14
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 4: will start with you, being a South Sider, what do

15
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 4: you like about what the North Siders did this year?

16
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: Do I have to answer this? They're in. They're in, buddy,

17
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: They're in.

18
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 4: Gotta give them their flowers, their props, you will.

19
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: You know what?

20
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 5: They've been good all year. Their offense has been really

21
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 5: fun to watch. The pitching is what it is. But

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 5: I love Palencia before he got hurt. I think of

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 5: in Auga is amazing to watch and listen. If there's

24
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 5: one advice I could give to a young player. What

25
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 5: he said is amazing. There are many times where I

26
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 5: got to celebrate. I wish I just would have enjoyed

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 5: the champagne on my ski in and not drink it,

28
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 5: because the next day was hell.

29
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 4: Nah seeing Kirs says, you don't work goggles, you gotta

30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 4: let it burn, let it barn dance. And there is

31
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 4: Chicago Cubs shortstop dans By Swanson, some of the best

32
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 4: flow in the game, certainly the best beard in the game,

33
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 4: if you will, and a Chicago postseason berth under his belt. Danzy,

34
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: thanks for being with us.

35
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: We appreciate it.

36
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 4: Congratulations.

37
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: This has been a fun Cubs team to watch.

38
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: Take us through the moment of the final out and

39
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 4: just celebrating with your teammates. I know that the work

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 4: is not done, but that's got to be one box

41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 4: you're happy to check.

42
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously, thanks for having me on. Glad to be here. Yeah,

43
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it really is such a cool moment.

44
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 2: You obviously know that this isn't necessarily the end goal

45
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: for the season, but it is definitely a big step

46
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 2: and part of the process to achieving all you want

47
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: to achieve. I mean, This is something that you talk

48
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 2: about in spring training, being able to get into the

49
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: postseason and give yourself the chance, you know, to win

50
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: the World Series. So it was really fun being able

51
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: to celebrate with the guys. We put in obviously so

52
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 2: much work this season and been a part of all

53
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 2: the different, you know, struggles throughout a year, the highs,

54
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 2: the lows, all those kinds of things to get to

55
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: this point. So, you know, it's pretty it's a pretty

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 2: special group of guys and very thankful to be a

57
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: part of it.

58
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: Did you celebrate like you should have celebrated because all

59
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: the hard work, all the different things all guys have

60
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: been out, come back, still out, whatever it is, Did

61
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: you guys celebrate hard or is it something that you

62
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: know we still got a game tomorrow. It's kind of

63
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: a tempered celebration. How how did your clubhouse celebrate it?

64
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: I'd say somewhere in the middle. You celebrate at the

65
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: field hard in terms of spring champagne and doing those

66
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: kinds of things, but not so hard afterward because we

67
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: do have a game today and there's a lot more

68
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 2: things that we obviously want to accomplish, And I really

69
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: feel like a big part of our team is getting

70
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: back into the rhythm that we had earlier in the year,

71
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: and I feel like recently we've been getting closer to

72
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: that point, and so you want to be able to

73
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: keep that same momentum moving forward and that we're obviously

74
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: not trying to take, you know, any steps backwards.

75
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: Was there any one person, because your season you're like,

76
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: well whatever, I know what a World Series champagne tastes like.

77
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: Was there anybody And I asked this of the Phillies

78
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: just the other day after they had celebrated that really

79
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: like celebrated. I'm not saying like got super drunk. I'm

80
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: talking about was like wow, like really soaking this in

81
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: and telling everybody this is so awesome. More than somebody else, you.

82
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: Know, I will say, it was just really cool seeing

83
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: you know whatever, staff members or people that haven't had

84
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: this kind of opportunity, whether it's in their career just

85
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: in a while. And I think the biggest thing to

86
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: kind of just hit me yesterday was not taking any

87
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 2: of it for granted, right, Like, this game is incredibly hard,

88
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: this game comes for everybody, and being able to just

89
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 2: enjoy and soak up the moment when you get them

90
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: because getting to the postseason is obviously a huge challenge,

91
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: and it's not something that just every single time. Now,

92
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: obviously we want it to and we feel like, you know,

93
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: you feel like as a player that you always have

94
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: a chance to win at the highest level, and sometimes

95
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: things just don't fall your way. And I think that

96
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: we as a team yesterday just kind of realized like

97
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: we should never take any of this for granted and

98
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 2: just continue to pursue what's in front of us.

99
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 4: Dansby, do you have fans around Wrigley offering Kyle Tucker

100
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: the use of their calf. How do we get Kyle

101
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,239
Speaker 4: Tucker back in that lineup? I know it's a huge

102
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 4: void on the impact he has on this team, but

103
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 4: let's get this guy healthy, right. The Cubs can go

104
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 4: so much further when you have that guy healthy and

105
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 4: back on the squad.

106
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, he's obviously proven, you know, throughout his

107
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: career that he's a top player in this game. Just

108
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 2: is that bats are so consistent, His ability to draw walks,

109
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 2: put the ball in play, drive the ball in the air,

110
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 2: He just assuming things well. He obviously plays a really

111
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: good right field, runs a base as well. Makes our

112
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: team better makes our team deeper and just provides that

113
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: kind of like stable at that each and every day,

114
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: you know, whenever he's in the lineup. So, uh, you know,

115
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: we're we're definitely anticipating on getting him back. I don't

116
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 2: know when exactly that's going to be, but I know

117
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: that he makes our team better.

118
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 3: Dansby, does your phone work? Is your phone does? Yeah?

119
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 5: Because I swear you told me to text you to

120
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 5: come on and I didn't get even I didn't even

121
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 5: get an f off like that would have been happy

122
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 5: with an f off, but you know, instead I got

123
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 5: a crick got it. I didn't even get a cricket

124
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 5: like I could have.

125
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: You want to know something that's funny, Join are lot

126
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: of our PR people. She was like, yeah, they texted

127
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,679
Speaker 2: me about you getting on the show, and I literally said, yeah,

128
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 2: I really meant to text AJ back about Pittsburgh was

129
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: going to be impossible, but Cincinnati would be good. And

130
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 2: I said, please please let him know that that is

131
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: where my brain is at, because I know that when

132
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: I get on this show, he's going to bring it up.

133
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: Well.

134
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 5: Also, it's a lucky day. I'm in Cincinnati, you're at

135
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 5: the hotel. I'm at the ballpark. Something's wrong with this

136
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 5: picture here, right. You should be here working out. I

137
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 5: should still be at the hotel. But you could have

138
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 5: just come on live with us. You could have sat

139
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 5: next to me. There's a chair I could have pulled up,

140
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 5: you know, you could have had your cubby blue on

141
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 5: and we could have talked about this in person.

142
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, the game is still in six hours, okay, we

143
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: still got a little bit of time. Got a little

144
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: bit of time.

145
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 5: I figured you'd have to work. You had to work

146
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 5: out the champagne, all right. But what I really want

147
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 5: to know is PCA. What's going on with PCA. PCA

148
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 5: had an unbelievable first half, gone a little bit up

149
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 5: and down here in the second half. Can he turn

150
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 5: this around and be the force that he can be

151
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 5: that we've seen him?

152
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah, I mean, well, as you know, I mean,

153
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: there are times and moments where this game just can

154
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: almost feel easy. To some extent, everything seems to go right.

155
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: You're just in a very confident headspace. And Pete was

156
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: such a driving force of our team in the first half.

157
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: I think just the beauty of the game of baseball

158
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: is it presents so many challenges and opportunities throughout a

159
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: one sixty two that you're you're bound to go through

160
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: moments where you're not as good as that you want

161
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 2: to be. And you know, especially as a young kid

162
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: with all the talent the world, guy like Pete, you know,

163
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 2: goes through something like that, and it's it's a really

164
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: good opportunity for him to like learn how to come

165
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: out of those or how to come out of that

166
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 2: kind of funk. And you know, if you look at

167
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: his A bats over the last three or four games,

168
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 2: they've been really, really good. Been hitting the ball hard

169
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: and hit the ball on the gap and putting together

170
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: just solid at bats of people on bas So definitely

171
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: think he's on his way out of whatever funk he

172
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: was in because you know, he's a special player, he's

173
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: a special talent, and he makes our team a lot better.

174
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: When do you see somebody that's super energetic and I

175
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: have no idea what he's like in the clubhouse, how

176
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: did he handle those ups and downs? Because it's part

177
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: of the reason why some guys in baseball are like, yeah,

178
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: everything's fine, and I'm not going to show any emotion

179
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: because when things are good, it's great. When things are bad,

180
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: I look the same. He's not. He didn't seem like that.

181
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: He seems like he is like, go get it, hit

182
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: the wall whenever he needs to. But when things go bad,

183
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: how what type of level of energy did you see

184
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: from him?

185
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think the one thing I've tried to just

186
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 2: remind him on is, you know, one of his superpowers

187
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: is his passion and love for the game, and just

188
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: to continue to remind him, regardless of whether things are

189
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 2: good or bad, that you can still impact the game

190
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: in different ways. Like you can if you're not hitting,

191
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 2: you can still go catch the ball. If you're on base,

192
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: you know, you can still run the base as well,

193
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: you can still run the bass hard. You can help

194
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: impact the team's performance without just hitting. And you know,

195
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 2: that's one of the reasons why he's the way he

196
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 2: is and the way that he impacts your team, because

197
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: he can go get it in centainfield just as good.

198
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: It's not better than anybody else in the league. He's

199
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: obviously got really good instincts on the bases and has

200
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 2: stolen a lot of bases for us. So, you know,

201
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 2: my biggest reminder for him and just really any young player,

202
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: any player in general, is the more that you can

203
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 2: kind of bring your unique superpower to the table. The

204
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: better off will be as a group and will ultimately

205
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: help us win games. Crats.

206
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 6: I'm gonna steal a line right from the top here

207
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 6: about me Undies a cut for every butt. I took

00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: as an athlete. You know, we it's finny. We kind

237
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: of talk about it. You can you can watch people

238
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: play and tell if they kind of have it. And

239
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: she's just one of the rare breeds of athletes that

240
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: just has it. Just her competitive instinct, her fire to win,

241
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: her commitment, determination, along with the athletic ability is is

242
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 2: pretty incredible to watch. So if if our baby can

243
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 2: get a little bit of that, then we'll be in

244
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: good shape.

245
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: Name three sports that she can beat you in and

246
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: three sports that you can beat her in? Obvious obvious

247
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: ones can be used.

248
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: Well, we can start with soccer. We're going to start

249
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: with that. Any bit of conditioning that's like over maybe

250
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 2: like one hundred meters, you know, any bit of like

251
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: running event that involves a little bit of you know, endurance.

252
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: I would say she's got me on past that, though, Man,

253
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: I don't know. I got a pretty good athletic you know,

254
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: skill set as well. Over here, Okay, got a pretty

255
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: good jump shot, good ping pong player, you know you

256
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: can do. You know, I'm very multifaceted, shall we say, uh,

257
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: with sports, So I'll give her those, But past that,

258
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I will say, this isn't really a sport,

259
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: but our household gets after it with uno and she

260
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: typically beats me more often, you know, than I beat her.

261
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 4: She's making you draw four like on top of each other.

262
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, she's got she's got some good strategies.

263
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: That's a sport. No, that's all. That's all part of

264
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: the competitive Like I hope you're attracted to each other

265
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: because of your competitiveness, because that plays like there's I

266
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: bet there's so you could take her in a sprint, though,

267
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: but after one hundred yards, she's got.

268
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 2: You one hundred. Like the longer it goes, the less

269
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: my chances are that I'm going to continue to hold on.

270
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, falling falling behind? All right, well somebody that's not

271
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: falling behind Kate Horton. Does Kate and Horton win the

272
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year or how do you tell? How

273
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: do you sway people's votes that maybe don't see Kate

274
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: Horton on a regular regular basis?

275
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: Well, Number one, I think being able to truly like

276
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: anchor a rotation as a rookie is incredibly impressive. And

277
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 2: to do it on a team in a second half

278
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: when you're most needed, you know, I think he has

279
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: the lowest cra among starting amongst any starting pitcher in

280
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: the second half. Uh, and being able to consistently rely

281
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: on somebody of you know, rookie status to go out

282
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 2: there and basically shove is incredibly impressive. I know there's

283
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: some other guys that have had some really good years,

284
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: but for him to do it on a on a

285
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: team that's excuse me, on a team that's going to

286
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: the postseason, and being that consistent force and the way

287
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: that he is is I think really all you need

288
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: to know it's it's not fully just about oh, he's

289
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 2: not punching out this many per nine. He doesn't want guys.

290
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: Guys don't seem to hit him hard. He gets quick outs.

291
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: He makes our team better. He's got this like competitive

292
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: just I'm here to handle business that not many guys have. Yeah,

293
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: I mean he would have my vote if I have

294
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: a vote, And you know, I think it's as simple

295
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: as that.

296
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 5: Hey, Dansby, what's it like playing with Shoda every day?

297
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 5: I mean that guy's interview last night was awesome where

298
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 5: he said champagne is better on your skin than it

299
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 5: is in your mouth, and it makes your skin feel better.

300
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 3: I mean, he just says things.

301
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 5: Every time he put a mic in front of him,

302
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 5: he says something that is absolutely hilarious. What's it like

303
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 5: being around a guy like that every day?

304
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: Oh Man? Show does the best. He's got such like

305
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: a clever, witty way about him. But I think just

306
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: from a from actual baseball perspective, he's he's such a

307
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: joy to watch because he just does a couple of

308
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: things really well, knows what he does really well and

309
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: basically just kind of goes up there and alt does

310
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 2: it from what everyone else is trying to, you know,

311
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: counter him with, and he's got you just can rely on.

312
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: He works hard, he wants to be involved. He does

313
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: like to trash talk from the dugout, which is awesome.

314
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: He likes, you know, chirping and and kind of ask

315
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: some of the other starting pictures about some good you know,

316
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 2: trashed so you can get from the dugout. So he's

317
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 2: always bringing a little bit of something for you each

318
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: and every day. And me and him got to know

319
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 2: each other a little bit last year and obviously more

320
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: so this year. But he's always got good jokes that

321
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: he's always just kind of got some up asleep.

322
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 4: It almost feels Dansby like he's like a college teammate

323
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 4: of yours. He just seems to have like that playfulness

324
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 4: about you. What was it like when you were at Vanderbilt?

325
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 4: One of our colleagues here Unfelt Territory justin Long wants

326
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 4: to know a little bit more about your Vanderbilt career.

327
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 4: And do you you look back at that now and

328
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 4: see how much more you can appreciate that time in

329
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 4: your life because not everybody goes that route. Are you

330
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 4: glad that you did?

331
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: Oh? I mean, it's probably second or third best decision

332
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 2: in my life. And one is obviously after convincing Mallorie

333
00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 2: to marry me. Was that just it really really molded

334
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: me into the player and person I am now. I

335
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: feel like I had a lot of kind of just

336
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 2: like natural gifts, but once going there, CORPS just brought

337
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 2: out all the best in me and just taught me

338
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: so many different valuable lessons about leadership, about being a

339
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 2: good teammate, and just how to play the game the

340
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 2: right way and some of the things that already somewhat knew,

341
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 2: but he was able to just kind of sculpt and

342
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 2: mold me to be a better version of that. The

343
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: amount of guys that played with their just the brotherhood

344
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 2: that you create with one another is real, you know,

345
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 2: it truly is something that lasts a lifetime. And I

346
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 2: think it's just pretty evident in how people continuously rep

347
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt that you know, I've never heard anyone that's gone

348
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: there say anything bad about their experience. There really is

349
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: more than just baseball. It's about growing, you know, these

350
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 2: these college kids in demand and CORPS it is the best.

351
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 5: Out of it.

352
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: I wouldn't I legitimately would not be where I am

353
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: today without Corpse in the program. And you know, the

354
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 2: other coaches, Coach Jewett, Coach Brown just it truly is

355
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: the best place in the world.

356
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: All right, where does this rank? We talked about the team,

357
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: we talked about other guys on your team, your wife.

358
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: Where does this season rank for you? In the sense

359
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: I get it, you guys won the World Series, so

360
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: you don't know where this season is going to go.

361
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: But as far as just your playing, how well you're playing,

362
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: the way things are going for you, and just the

363
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: way you feel coming to the ballpark every day.

364
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 2: Man, it's it really is difficult to rank teams and

365
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 2: seasons because they're all so drastically different. And even if

366
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 2: you have I think that's the beauty about sports is

367
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: you can have the exact same team year to year,

368
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: but the vibe and the environment is a little bit different.

369
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 2: You have to kind of recreate, you know, different standards

370
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: and culture to be able to get the most out

371
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 2: of a group. So I don't rank them. I will

372
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: refuse to rank them. But I very much enjoy winning.

373
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 2: I always have, and so anytime a team I'm part

374
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: of is winning at a high level, I'm pretty happy. Here.

375
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 5: Let you go, first of all, should diego Pavia? Let

376
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 5: diovonn go on a date with his mom?

377
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 2: Hey, the boys are playing some good ball down there,

378
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: all right, So whatever kind of stuff they got working,

379
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 2: I'm good with it.

380
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 5: So Yesovon should be able to go on a date.

381
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 5: Oh look at you.

382
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 3: Wow.

383
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 5: Always it's okay. So now's so now. So now I

384
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 5: want people to know how much you've changed. Okay, because

385
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 5: when I played with you in twenty sixteen, you know,

386
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 5: you were the resh hot rookie coming out up here,

387
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 5: this and that and didn't speak. Now you're giving guys

388
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 5: lessons PCA on how to stay the right course and

389
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 5: all this. You know, it's just amazing how people change

390
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 5: over time. But here's the thing I have. If your

391
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 5: last game ends the way my last game ends, and

392
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 5: there's a young rookie on second base that doesn't score

393
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 5: on a hit that they should score on and I

394
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 5: could have had my Derek Jeter moment, would you still

395
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 5: be mad at him?

396
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. Say, look, this is good base running. Now,

397
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: that's great base running, So you can't.

398
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: You could have scored so easy. Look you barely made

399
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 3: it to third. Look what are you doing?

400
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 2: Go back first? Brother? If he catches that and I'm

401
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: going to third and I get him free out, it's

402
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: everybody there, and I'm just not just mine. You look,

403
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 2: I'm celebrating.

404
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 3: I like, it's my Derek Jeter moment. What are you doing?

405
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 3: Even snit's over there going.

406
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 5: That's why we let him go in free agency because

407
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 5: he didn't score on that hit from Prazinski.

408
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: You're always going to hold that one over my head.

409
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 2: But I would be proud.

410
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 3: It's all I got, It's all I got it.

411
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: I'd be proud of a young player knowing how to

412
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: run the bases properly. You know, the fundamentals, playing the

413
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 2: game the right way. That's that's the most important thing.

414
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: And so that's the part.

415
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: Taught you that didn't he yeah, oh yeah, another guy's moment.

416
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: I see I see.

417
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's about it's about the team.

418
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 5: See exactly that we were losing a hundred games.

419
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: Not in that case, it was all It was clearly

420
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: all about age. It was clearly all about a J

421
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: and that was great base running for kids who watched it.

422
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: Don't be don't be an AJ in this situation. Be

423
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: a dance. The balls in front of you, you can't go,

424
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: and it's not freezing the line. Drive you go back

425
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: on the line, driving it's not about you looking like

426
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: looking like Jose rayis running around the base.

427
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 3: Is like, look at me. It's all about me. Who

428
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 3: was my last game and I last a bat and

429
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 3: I knew it.

430
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 5: So anyways, I appreciate dansyfore the fact that he got

431
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 5: to third on that ball and didn't get thrown out,

432
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 5: and also the fact that, uh yeah, that's all I

433
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 5: got on him because I don't know. He was a

434
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 5: good teammate, He was a good kid, and it worked

435
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 5: out because they went on to win the World Series

436
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 5: like four or five years later, so apparently something did.

437
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 3: He did something right.

438
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: We make that joke. We make that joke all the

439
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: time about like, yeah, when I was a young kid,

440
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 2: you know, it was like me or JT or anybody

441
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 2: like I didn't speak unless spoken to, you know, like

442
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 2: I didn't even think about opening in my mouth.

443
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 3: But you were good. He was good. I will give

444
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 3: him this. He was good. He was good as a rookie.

445
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 3: So somebody taught him right.

446
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 5: He did the right things except for the base running,

447
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 5: but everything else he did right and has turned into

448
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 5: obviously a start.

449
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 4: Dan's be good luck. It's been a lot of fun

450
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 4: watching you guys. In Chicago or the course of this season.

451
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 4: Best elected us the way in this postseason push. We
