Speaker 1: to a podcast, rip music, Take a nap.

61
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 3: I take take a nap. I take my sprinter van.

62
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: So we went to five locations outside of our city,

63
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: Like we went to Louisville, Kentucky, Biloxi, Orlando, and I

64
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: get in the sprinter van and take a nap in between.

65
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: But it's it's crazy. I mean, it's a it's a huge,

66
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: huge business. I didn't know it existed.

67
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, uh are you watching ball? Oh?

68
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

69
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 6: Do you hear it from Braves fans? Like what's going

70
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 6: on this year?

71
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: They got hit with the injury bugger really and and

72
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: and they've had some guys go down in big, big

73
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: spots and they just haven't really been able to to

74
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 3: to stay consistent or get consistent.

75
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 6: I've got one for you.

76
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: So I've been on some radio shows in Atlanta and

77
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: one time I guess I've some fans off because I'm

78
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: like Braves fans, you're jaded lately. The teams in the

79
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: playoffs every year. You keep your players for the most part.

80
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: Freddy's different story, but you've kept a lot of your players.

81
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: You won a World Series in the last five years. Now,

82
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: they most fans would take that.

83
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: But they have a great core stuff to build off of.

84
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 3: I mean they you know, Michael Harris has gotten really hot.

85
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: That gives them an extra bat to lengthen it out.

86
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of what they've been missing, is

87
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: a couple of bats to lengthen the lineup out where Uh,

88
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: you know, you got to have production from the bottom

89
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: of your order.

90
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: You can't.

91
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 3: You can't rely on the same two or three four

92
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 3: guys every night.

93
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: Snick coming back, you play, you play, and both. Yeah.

94
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: He was my double a manager and he's the one

95
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: that told me I was getting called up, and he

96
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: he told me to come to his room. And when

97
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 3: when I was getting called up, no shirt on, Harry

98
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: Chess and He's like, get over here, hug, just some

99
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: just some shorts on. So it was like that's a

100
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: memory that I that I take. I'll take to the

101
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: grave and you know, you get the biggest news of

102
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: your life from one of the best guys I know.

103
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: So he's my favorite.

104
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 6: That's cool. Have you been watching cal Riley this year?

105
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 3: It's incredible.

106
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: What the fifty, bro, he's got fifteen.

107
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: I can't even wrap my head around it.

108
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: And he you know, you had a lot of homers,

109
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: but fifties way more.

110
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 3: I hit twenty two. He's I mean, this is like

111
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 3: he had that in April or May like it was.

112
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: It's crazy what he's doing. I went to the All

113
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: Star homer in Derby and he is so in sync.

114
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 3: His whole body is just working perfectly together and like

115
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: he's not missing. I can't fathom it. You ever do

116
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: you fathom it?

117
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 2: No?

118
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 5: I mean, I know, fifty homers plus homers as a

119
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 5: catchers because most of the time, first of all, catchers

120
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 5: don't get that many of beasts to get to fifty,

121
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 5: you know, he has d h a little bit, but

122
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 5: to hit fifty in whatever, one hundred, he's hitting a

123
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 5: homer in like almost every other game.

124
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: It's it's crazy.

125
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: Especially I told someone like, I'm anxious to see August

126
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: in September because that's no I know, that's the crazy.

127
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: I mean, that's when August like fifteenth would come around,

128
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 3: I'd be like, uhh, I don't feel the same, you know,

129
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 3: and then you just grind down through September.

130
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 5: Look at Will Smith in LA right the last three years,

131
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 5: his second half numbers have just plummeted.

132
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: It's hard. It's hard. It's hard to keep yourself up.

133
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 3: Yeahs do didn't get that get enough credit for how

134
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: tough it is to carry a staff.

135
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 2: And I think crowds will agree with us too, because

136
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: obviously he called.

137
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 5: But when they do, like the ops plus and the

138
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 5: ops against the whole league, it should just be a catcher,

139
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 5: big staff. For me, I agree, because you can't explain

140
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 5: to people how hard it is what a catcher does

141
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 5: compared to you know, you look out there and in

142
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 5: French he's out there working on his batting stance and

143
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 5: you're a backtor chasing balls around.

144
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: Try hoping that you know, you don't have to chase

145
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: balls at the backstop the whole time. Hitting came second.

146
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you if you could, if if John Smoltz,

147
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 3: if you couldn't, couldn't work with him, you're not catching

148
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: Game one in the playoffs and that, so you had

149
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: to make sure that was locked down and then whatever

150
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 3: you got offensively was was a bonus.

151
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, but how much is that heat in Atlanta? Bug?

152
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 6: You too?

153
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 4: You talk about August fifteenth. I remember one series in

154
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 4: August we played against you and d Ross. David Ross

155
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 4: was there and he caught the day game and you

156
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 4: caught the previous three games, and I played the night

157
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 4: game and then day game because Choos was out, and

158
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 4: both of you said the same thing. David Roscos he goes,

159
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 4: oh man, he goes, I'm too old to play these

160
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 4: day games. They gotta let that young guy McCann play.

161
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 4: And the night before you go, man, I can't be

162
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: playing all these games in a row. It's too hot

163
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: down here. So how bad is that?

164
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 3: It was a grind? It was a grind. But when

165
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 3: Dave Ross was there, he was my favorite backup neo

166
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 3: that I ever had. He taught me so much about

167
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 3: the game and we hung out late night all the

168
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: time and talked about the game and how to maneuver

169
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 3: pitchers through games, and he's one of my favorites.

170
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: OKKP, this is your first arena club experience. We're gonna

171
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: open a slab pack together. So first off, we're gonna

172
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: buy one of those twenty five dollars slab packs and

173
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: we get to see what is in the pack. There

174
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: it is the Grail, which is the best card in

175
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: the pack and worth the most. There are some other

176
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: cards that we're chasing, and you can see the entire

177
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: lineup so that you know what you're in the running for.

178
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: There's the Yamamoto signed card. Now let's open up our

179
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: pack and.

180
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 6: See how we do.

181
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: We have ourselves a really cool graphic and then a

182
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: show heo Tani fifty to fifty card from last year.

183
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: What do you want to do? Should we sell it

184
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: right back to them for sixteen or should we keep it?

185
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: You should give it to me, I'll.

186
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: Keep good answer, Fine, I will give it to you.

187
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 6: Since the Blue Jays didn't getto Tani, you can get.

188
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,119
Speaker 1: This fifty to fifty card instead. Use the code foul

189
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: foul to get yourself twenty percent off your first slab

190
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: pack or card purchase. Yes, you get to keep that

191
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: card if you want it. They send it to you

192
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: foul at Arena club dot com slash foul. Hey. So

193
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: a lot of times we'll bring on a former player

194
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: and be like, actually, we just did that recently with

195
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: someone like, Oh, do you like the way this rule

196
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: is now or this part of the game is now?

197
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 6: Can't shift anymore? I go, do you watch baseball now?

198
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 2: Like?

199
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 6: Are you kidding me?

200
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: I mean my average went from two eighty five to

201
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: two forty two thirty five quick And then it was

202
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: hard to change your what you've done your whole life

203
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: and the cutter. I felt like I had to cover

204
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 3: that first and I couldn't go the other way with it.

205
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: And if I had that approach, I was going to

206
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: hit twelve to fifteen home runs. Chipper pulled me in

207
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: his room one night and goes, hey, look what type

208
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: of hitter do you want to be? You want to

209
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: try to hit three hundred with fifteen or you want

210
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 3: to try to do to eighty with like twenty five.

211
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 3: And I was like, I'll try to eighty with twenty five.

212
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: I couldn't. I couldn't leave to the opposite field left center.

213
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: My best ball would go to the track. So I had

214
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 3: to figure out and I was like, I could take

215
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 3: that same pitch and pull that for a homer.

216
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: So I sacrificed average for power.

217
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,479
Speaker 6: They would just create this vacuum.

218
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, when that first started, I was not pretty for

219
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: the fan experience.

220
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 3: And then in New York it's so short and right

221
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: field it looks like there's four out infielders over there,

222
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 3: so there was no there was not many hits over there.

223
00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 6: For me, it was crazy.

224
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 4: So would you So do you think Royce Lewis just

225
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 4: said the other day, he was like, ah, I don't

226
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: want to I don't want to change mid season because

227
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 4: I'm giving up thirty games of arbitration numbers. And it

228
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 4: was kind of, you know, kind of a moment where

229
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 4: he said the truth, but it was hard to hear

230
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 4: a player say that. Would you have had to have change?

231
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 4: Would you have been able to change if the shift

232
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 4: was implemented early in your career, say year two before

233
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 4: you had a contract.

234
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 6: Yeah.

235
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: When I first came up, my first two three years,

236
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: I was left center, left center, left center, and my

237
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 3: average was was better. And then as I as I

238
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: tried to, you know, leave the Dopps away, it wasn't happening.

239
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: And I would have just stayed to left center, and

240
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 3: it probably would I probably would have been a better

241
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 3: player if I would have done that.

242
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: I got I got to pool happy.

243
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: And if I could go back, I tell people, if

244
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 3: I could go back, I would I would do it.

245
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: Freddie Freeman does, I would have hit every ball in

246
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 3: VP and in the cage to left center field and

247
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 3: then try to pull in the game. But it would

248
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 3: have kept my front shoulder tucked in a little better.

249
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 3: But when I was in New York, I was literally

250
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: I tried to hit a home run on the upper

251
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 3: deck every every.

252
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: Bud in May Right, you get all right, Hey, the

253
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: Braves are split and playing time with their catchers pretty evenly.

254
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: Do you think that's the future in the sport? Related

255
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: to what you're saying, a lot of guys can't hang

256
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: through the whole season, and then the playoff numbers recently

257
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: post catchers are brutal.

258
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd like to see them go back to our

259
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 3: days of one hundred and thirty games. If you're an

260
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: elite guy, when you look around the league, I mean,

261
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 3: it's the position is you know, it's in a good

262
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 3: spot at the top, and it's it's a tough one,

263
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 3: you know. And I think that the framing has become

264
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 3: such a big, a big part of the game, and

265
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,079
Speaker 3: you know, so split in time, Like I'd like to

266
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 3: see guys catch catch more. If you're a frontline guy.

267
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 6: Can most of them handle it? Though?

268
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: I don't know.

269
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: Anyone, So, yeah, you guys did it, but a JD.

270
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: I mean you're around the clubhouse every week. You think

271
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: most guys can handle it and want to.

272
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 5: And most guys haven't been brought up to do it,

273
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 5: right the cross shacking it said, they haven't been brought.

274
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: Up to do it.

275
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 3: I think one hundred and twenty twenty games of years

276
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: is a good number for for a frontline guy.

277
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just hard. Now it's one hundred. Now that

278
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 5: you get you guys can say, oh it's a hundred,

279
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 5: you're gonna get tired.

280
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: But I just and if you can really hit now

281
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 3: that now that we didn't have a DH, so like

282
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 3: I was always coming to pinch it on the eighth.

283
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: But if they had a if they had a if

284
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 3: we had the d H, I would have probably I

285
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 3: would probably played one hundred and sixty two games, I think,

286
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: I mean I would have caught it.

287
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: I was, eh, how bad was it?

288
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 5: When was there anything worse than you know? You you

289
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 5: caught a lot, I caught a lot. You'd be losing

290
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 5: and in the manager be like, b Mac, I need

291
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 5: you to come in an eight, try to get it,

292
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 5: and then you got to catch the night.

293
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: You're just like, oh whatever.

294
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 6: My day off.

295
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it's a mental like when you go

296
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 3: in and you go you know, you don't get the knock.

297
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: You're like, all right, They're like, but you got to get.

298
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 3: Your your mind. It's more for your mind. Yeah, all

299
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 3: days are more for like us just sitting back. But

300
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: that was David Ross.

301
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 2: He's like that.

302
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: He said it all the time. My goal is to

303
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 3: make sure you get a full off day. And he

304
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: was the best. He was the best.

305
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 4: I'm impressed that your beard still looks exactly the same

306
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 4: and you haven't put on a pound since you've been

307
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 4: done playing. That's all I have to say. And I've

308
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 4: just been watching. I've just been looking at the screen.

309
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: Some people age. You haven't aged a bit. I thought

310
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 4: you looked like you were forty years old when you

311
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 4: were twenty six.

312
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 6: Yeah.

313
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: And you know what the crazy part if you go

314
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 3: back and look when I was in New York when

315
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: I had to shave, I looked like I was fifteen.

316
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 3: So I got an ace in the hole when I

317
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 3: get older, when this comes off. I look like I'm

318
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 3: twenty five, twenty three. Yeah, you like we get older,

319
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 3: But I got a little gray, I got some gray.

320
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all great.

321
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: I'm holder for a while and then you blitz everyone

322
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: with the clean shave, like, hey, I just went backwards

323
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: ten fifteen years you got.

324
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 3: I got ace in the hole for m Yeah, down

325
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: the road.

326
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: All right, I got two more questions for you. One

327
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame.

328
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 5: You were on the ballot last year, right, yeah, how

329
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 5: many votes did you get?

330
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: I know he wasn't five us. Yeah, it wasn't enough

331
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 2: to I don't understand.

332
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 5: For a catcher and you played in the same air,

333
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 5: close to the same area, you're a little bit behind me.

334
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: But seven All.

335
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 5: Stars, six Silver Sluggers, World Series champion. And this is

336
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 5: kind of a personal thing too. Why are catchers so undervalued?

337
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 5: Like you look at Jorge Basadi, you look at you,

338
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 5: you look at some of the great catchers that we

339
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 5: played against in or around. Yeah, and they get two

340
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 5: percent pen votes, twelve votes? Why why is that a thing?

341
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 5: Why don't they they to me they need to compare

342
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 5: catchers to catchers in every era, right, yes, because they'd say, oh, well,

343
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 5: dada da, he didn't do this and his ops plus

344
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 5: was this.

345
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: But also you only you played less games.

346
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 5: You were getting the crap beat out of you behind

347
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 5: the play all these things that they look at your

348
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 5: wars down, your wars down because you don't play as

349
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 5: many games.

350
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, for me, I think what we did thirty years

351
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 3: down the road is going to look way better than

352
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: it does now because of what you just said.

353
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of guys that are playing the games.

354
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 3: It up the numbers that were put that we put,

355
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: you know that we were able to put up. So

356
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: I think down the road, when guys look at the game,

357
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: I think it'll change the way they look at it.

358
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 3: But I think right now, uh, you know, you're just

359
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 3: in that era of you know, there's not there's how

360
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 3: many how many catchers are in the Hall of Fame.

361
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: Not many. There's like what, I don't that third basement

362
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: like yeah.

363
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's just it, it doesn't get the uh,

364
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 3: I don't know.

365
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 6: I'm with you.

366
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 3: Every they should all it should all be just compared

367
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 3: to us, to the catching position, not not first base.

368
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: And twenty twenty twenty game has been around a long time,

369
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: twenty it's the second fewest third base third base.

370
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 6: It's crazy crazy. What was your other one? Oh?

371
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 2: Mine's on golf? Can I ask a golf question?

372
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 6: Yeah?

373
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 5: Okay, First of all, they want to know easier to

374
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 5: catch small Tutson Tanaka.

375
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: Who was the easiest? See who was the easiest guy?

376
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: The easiest? Yeah, not the toughest. We can name a

377
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: million guys are tough.

378
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 3: Out of those, as you just mentioned. I never caught man.

379
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: He never came, never was he was.

380
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: He didn't leave your glove. Yeah, he literally, Like the

381
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: sinker ballers were tough. The lefties for me were the hardest.

382
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: The cutters in and holding that I don't I did.

383
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: I worked better to the right than the left. So

384
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: like to hold that cutter, you know, anything coming this way,

385
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 3: I did well, But anything going that way, like my

386
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: hiffs didn't work. To block that slider down this way.

387
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: Cec was hard for me to catch. But I just

388
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 3: those sinker ballers when you don't get that bottom of

389
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: the zone, you don't stick it, and you get that

390
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 3: look and you're like, all right, dude, my bad, I'll

391
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 3: get it. But you know, Honey would get that thing.

392
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: He threw a one seamer that just you'd have to

393
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: get under it and and.

394
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: Really really fight. Hey here, I got a question for you.

395
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: Do you think if you caught on a knee your

396
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: whole career you would have played longer?

397
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I played nineteen. I don't know, I know,

398
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: do you think? But I think I think it would

399
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 2: have been different. I don't know. If people ask.

400
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 3: Body would have heard him, I think I would have

401
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: I could have played a couple more years.

402
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: If I probably could have stole a couple more years

403
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: at the end. Yeah, you know, but I don't know.

404
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. You never know. It's easy to say that.

405
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 5: But also, dude, they're so exposed, Like the lower there's

406
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 5: so much more body exposed. Like I always tried to

407
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 5: like hide behind my shine guards too, right, I was

408
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 5: always like, all right, let me seek it. So I'm

409
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 5: trying to hide behind my chest protector, my shine guards,

410
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 5: so the ball would hit something that was protected.

411
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, nowadays everything is out.

412
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: My last year in Atlanta, I work with South Asano

413
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: all spring training, so like to do the knee. And

414
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: then I was calling a game in spring training and

415
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm more worried about my setup than like, yeah,

416
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: getting the reaction of the hitter, and you know, so

417
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: I was just like, I can't do it.

418
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: All right, can you win this thing golf? You make

419
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 2: the eagle? No, I can't win it. How many points

00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 2: twenty eight? That's good.

421
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 3: I'm looking to get top twenty five. That was my goal,

422
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: top twenty finished with all these great golfers, like, I'll
