00:07:53,560 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: But not just a concert put on by by your teammates.

159
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, and it was fantastic. We loved it. We

160
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 5: had I don't think that's gonna happen this year. Okay,

161
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 5: I can't have any singers in the team, I said

162
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 5: right now. But it's it's just everybody's enjoyed coming to work.

163
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 5: And I think that's one step that you have to take,

164
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 5: you know, or if you want to be in a

165
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 5: successful franchise, in a franchise that is going to win

166
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 5: the word series, you know, you have to love to

167
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 5: come to work.

168
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 3: You have to come together, love to come together. And

169
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 3: I think you've built that. So as as soon as

170
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 3: you got to the Mets, how many days was it

171
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 3: until you started recruiting wand when you were playing against Like,

172
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: what was the first time that you remember saying something

173
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 3: to wand like, I know, I know you're at the

174
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 3: Nats right now. And then he went to the Padres

175
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 3: and then he went to the Yankees and he finally

176
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: became a free agent. Remember the first time you remember

177
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: like just like just dropping like a text, just dropping

178
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: like something at a game.

179
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 5: We never really talked about it. I did talk to

180
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 5: him and on the base path, you know, like on

181
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 5: the basis whenever he was with the Nationals, but we

182
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 5: didn't really talk about Hey, when you become a free agent,

183
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 5: I'll see y out here. I never really talked about that.

184
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 5: I did tell him years ago about being smart and

185
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 5: going through a process, but it was when I was

186
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 5: in Cleveland. It wasn't even like, hey, yes, we're going

187

Speaker 5: to be teammates. It was just like, be smart. You

188
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 5: just go through a process, you know, don't skip steps

189
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 5: because everything's going to work out.

00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,520

282
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,199

00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: You felt like you had to say like you didn't

295
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 3: say something, but you were aware of it. But did

296
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: you ever have to say something where I was like,

297
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 3: all right, we're getting a little a little outside because

298
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 3: you have to have parameters of some kind. I'm not

299
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 3: talking about no facial hair policy.

300
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: But now it wasn't you know, as a group, it

301
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,960

00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: or I am addressing the team or the picture. No,

314
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: it was more like one on one conversations. I was like,

315
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: hey man, we know we've got a lot of noise

316
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: and this, and we got to go play baseball, you know,

317
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: And that was basically it.

318
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 3: Good. Yeah, pop that ear piece in if you can

319
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: so you can hear cam. He'll talk to you right

320
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: out of that camera and into your ear. Now you

321
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: got me, Mindy, I got you.

322
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 6: Uh So, you know, I know it was your first year,

323
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 6: but you know through my experience talk of certain guys

324
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 6: or our leader of leaders of men, you know, guys

325
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 6: like yourself, just being able to be around you for

326
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 6: that year and getting to know you and having conversations

327
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 6: with yourself. Guys like Pat Murphy guys like Boonie, guys

328
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 6: like Terry Francona and now yourself.

329
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 7: I know it's only one you're in, but you know,

330
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 7: I want to ask.

331
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 6: You, you know, what do you think it takes to

332
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 6: you come into a clubhouse and you know, Garner, gainer respect,

333
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 6: you know.

334
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 7: How did you grab that clubhouse?

335
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 6: Because I'm I'm a believer that the captain isn't the

336
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 6: best player.

337
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 7: I think it starts with the manager.

338
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 6: And I've always thought being around you, you will be

339
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 6: a great manager because of how you communicate, because of

340
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 6: how you, you know, show empathy and and let people

341
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 6: know you've been in their shoes before.

342
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 7: I think that's a very special trait.

343
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 6: What is it for you that qualified or made you

344
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 6: feel confident about going across town to manage, you know,

345
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 6: or franchise like the New York the New York Mets.

346
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate you saying that means a lot. Can

347
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: It starts with trust. You got to earn the trust

348
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: from your players and they got to be able to

349
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: trust you, and that takes time. That doesn't happen overnight.

350
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: And I knew coming in with the players that I

351
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: had on that roster, established players elite players, so I

352
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: knew hot work to do. I needed to develop the

353
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: real relationships. I needed to earn their respect, you know,

354
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: I needed I needed them to trust me as much

355
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: as I needed to get to know them.

356
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 2: They needed to get to know myself.

357
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: Having honest conversations, you know, coming from he's just telling guys.

358
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 2: The truth, you know, like straight shooter.

359
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: You know, at this level, guys know when you're bs them.

360
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's easy, and uh, again, it takes time

361
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: to develop this relationship. And for me, it wasn't just

362
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: sprint training. He was getting out of the gate and

363
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: we didn't play well, but being myself understanding that it's

364
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: a long year, you have good players, and just again

365
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: being myself, let the personality, let the coaches do their job.

366
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: So for me, it was more like earning that trust.

367
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: And I felt like we got to a point, especially

368
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: after the first couple of months where guys were like,

369
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: all right, you know, it's not just Mandy talking to

370
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: me in sprint training and how great And no, uh,

371
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: he wasn't easy, and uh, you know, I'm just I'm

372
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: glad that we were able to click and again having

373
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: honest conversations cam you know, being humble, uh, and being consistent,

374
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: understanding that it is a hard game and uh, you know,

375
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: guys will struggle at times, and yeah, and there's gonna

376
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: be times where you need to pull him aside and

377
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: with respect hold him accountable. And there's some tough conversations.

378
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: But as a player, you appreciate that you want honesty,

379
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: you want you want you want people to shoot you straight,

380
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: and that's how you earned their trust.

381
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 3: I've seen you as a bench coach. I've seen you

382
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 3: as a manager now and I didn't have you as

383
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: a manager, but I've seen you off the field with

384
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 3: your family. I can attest if anybody asks you're the

385
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 3: same guy as you say consistency. Yeah, yeah, But did

386
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: you ever ask your old have you since one signed?

387
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 3: Have you asked your old buddy Boonie any like particular

388
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 3: about one like, hey, does he like this? Does he

389
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: not like this? Anything that you like? In conversation that

390
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 3: you got? Yeah?

391
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: No, not in details, you know. It was more like

392
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 2: what do you got?

393
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 3: You know?

394
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: And everything that I'm that I got not only from Boonie,

395
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: from a lot of people that I know from the Yankees.

396
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: He was like, what a great human this guy is?

397
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: You know, this guy is special.

398
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: You know, everybody sees what he does on the field,

399
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: but it's just the quality of the person.

400
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 3: Uh.

401
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: And that's what we're seeing here so far in that

402
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, last couple of weeks that he's been around

403
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: every day. That is a humble guy. He's human. Uh

404
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: And that's basically you're gonna love him. You know, this

405
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: guy is great.

406
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 2: He he he wants to be.

407
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: The best out there, and that's what we're seeing so far.

408
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: So that was basically the messaging that I got from

409
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: him and from a lot of people, from from the Yankees.

410
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: Is it weird? That mean? Did he come in and

411
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 3: he say, you know, I'm probably gonna be here longer

412
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 3: than you?

413
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 2: He didn't say that, but he didn't say it. Okay,

414
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: he doesn't have to say it. You know, once you

415
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: get on this man like.

416
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 3: They're already they're already on the way.

417
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, that's that's that comes with

418
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,720

Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we feel good. Listen.

439
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: You hate to see two guys go down before March.

440
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: You know, but we kept talking about our death. We

441
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: kept talking about, you know, some of the guys that

442
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: we were able to bring in, whether it was a

443
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: Griffin Kennon, you know, Paul Blackburn coming from that freaking injury,

444
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: Clay Holmes making that transition, Senga, you know, this is

445
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: a guy that we didn't have last year and knock

446
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: on wood. Right now, everything is trending in the right direction,

447
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: so I'm really looking forward to watch Senga pitch for

448
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: a full year. David Peterson took a huge step forward

449
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: last year. Lord McGill, this is a guy that I'm

450
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: really excited about this year.

451
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 2: He's been in the league.

452
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: Now he's up and down, but this is a guy

453
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: that throws sis at ninety six ninety seven.

454
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: He's got really good stuff. Like he should be.

455
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: A guy in this league, and you know we're counting

456
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: on him. So, yes, we lost montas Manaya should be back,

457
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully by the end of April.

458
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 3: Uh.

459
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: He's you know, trending in the right direction as well.

460
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: I know, I know there's people people talking a lot

461
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: about our rotation. We feel good with what we have

462
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: in camp. We feel good with our rotation, we feel

463
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: good with our depth. We add it Orna. Uh so, uh,

464
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: we still got long ways to go before we break camp,

465
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: but uh, we feel good about it.

466
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 5: Camp.

467
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 3: Spring training should be over now.

Speaker 3: like we say this all the time in spring training,

509
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 3: but sneaky big he even came in with sleeves.

510
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,800

511

Speaker 9: the show, so first time.

517
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 3: Appreciate that. That makes me blush. I made him blush

518
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 3: about being a little bit big. He made me blush

519
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 3: about f t a little bit of ft love. But

520
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 3: obviously the biggest thing. You've said it right before we

521
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 3: came on. Here are you looking around the league to

522
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,239
Speaker 3: see who number seven is so that the Mets can

523
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 3: pick them up because now you're number seven. You had

524
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 3: twenty two and Juan Soto did a little did a

525
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 3: little Christmas in in February.

526
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, he did. And whoever in the league wants to

527
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 9: sign with us, who's number seven next year? Feel free?

528
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 9: Number sevens available. But no, I mean he was unbelievable

529
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 9: about it. Yeah, he was unbelievable about it. He texted

530
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 9: me right before his press conference and was like, hey,

531
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 9: it's twenty two available and I was like, yeah, you

532
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 9: go for a brother, and then he was like, I'll

533
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 9: take care of you. And then got down here to

534
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 9: spring training and he surprised me with that one day.

535
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 9: So it was unbelievable.

536
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 3: But all the number sevens out there have to understand

537
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 3: the price is gonna go up because I've heard of

538
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: and cam might might be able to cam Maven who

539
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: your ex teammate might be able to let you know,

540
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: lay into this a little bit like rolexes and I

541
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: you know, a creative one was like a five twenty

542
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 3: nine for their kids. Oh you're too young for that

543
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 3: kind of stuff. But like, like, this is a legit vehicle.

544
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 3: So is the price gonna go up for the next

545
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 3: number seven?

546
00:25:59,000 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 7: No?

547
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 9: I mean I don't even know about all the unwritten

548
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 9: rules or anything. I was just I was blown away

549
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 9: by what by what he did that was that was incredible,

550
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 9: And partly our travel secretary. It goes back to him too,

551
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 9: because he was he was pushing for for the research

552
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 9: and everything, and he ended up asking me for my

553
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 9: car insurance like the day before, and so I was

554
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 9: a little fishy. That's not normal, that's not every Yeah exactly,

555
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 9: He's like, get let me get your license and let

556
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,119

Speaker 9: available at ten am tomorrow. I was like, that's a

558
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 9: little strange.

559
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 3: The travel director. The travel director is not always asking

560
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 3: big leaguers for there. Did you have to go out

561
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 3: to your car to get your insurance car because you'll

562
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 3: just you'll just keep it on your person.

563
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, luckily I had a screenshot of it on me.

564
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 9: He's like, I need it quickly. I need it quickly.

565

00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 9: it quickly. I was like, all right, i'll get it too.

Speaker 3: Don't worry about it, all right, all right? I like it?

Speaker 6: As I'm sitting here, listen and I'm like, all that bread,

573
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 6: Sodo couldn't just put you.

00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 7: On his insurance. I mean he couldn't. Hey like, hey,

00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 6: add me to the insurance bro. I'm just saying, you

00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 6: know what I mean. So uh, but no, all jokes aside.

579
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 6: I want to get straight into it. You know, as

580
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 6: I look at this roster, we know what one Soto

581
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 6: has been. We know how huge it is for him

582
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 6: to come to that organization. Uh, it's it's extremely huge.

583
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 6: I think to get Pete back, I think.

584
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 7: His his bad.

585
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 6: What he does and what he's done for New York

586
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 6: is extremely big. I continue to say that you are

587
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 6: the guy in my eyes that I that I think,

588
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 6: that I hope that I want to see take that

589
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 6: next step I think you have. When I watch your tape,

590
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 6: when I watch your film, you literally the the the game.

591
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 7: The potential is oozing out of you. Right, what do

592
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 7: you do?

593
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 6: What do you need to do to take that next step?

594
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 6: Because I believe you have the type of guy to be.

595
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 6: You could be a guy who'd be going, hey, I

596
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 6: need that number one day, you know, I mean you

597
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 6: could be as what what do you need to do

598
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 6: to take that next step?

599
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

600
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 9: Well, I think first step is showing off the versatility

601
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,479
Speaker 9: so I can make this roster. I've been working at

602
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 9: second base, I've been working at third base, and I

603
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 9: actually took a few groundballs at shortstop today. Been doing

604
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 9: picks on the backfield at first base, just trying to

605
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 9: show off all the versatility so I can make this

606
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 9: roster and really show what I can do on the

607
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 9: field for sure. But then once I get there, I

608
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 9: think it's I think it's about staying within myself. Whenever

609
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 9: I'm doing stuff at the most simplest form, I feel

610
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 9: like I have the most success. So right now, my

611
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 9: approach in spring training have I've had a little bit

612
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 9: of success to start, is to swing at strikes and

613
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 9: take balls and really keep a really simple pro up there.

614
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 9: But yeah, I mean, I'm excited for this year. Man.

615
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 9: We got a lot of good talent, a lot of

616
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 9: good guys. The clubhouse is great, so I'm excited.

617
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 3: Do you look around do you look around to see

618
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 3: other teams that need a third baseman? You said versatility,

619
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: and you're like, oh, well maybe I could play or

620
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 3: is that not anything in your in your realm, in

621
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: your in your thinking.

622
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 9: I mean, it's always hard not to. But at the

623
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 9: end of the day, like I I got to be

624
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 9: where my feet are. So that's with this team. That's

625
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 9: with this club, and I just want to make this

626
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 9: club better in every part of the game and stuff.

627
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 9: So any way I can do to to help this team,

628
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 9: I want to do that and I want us to

629
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 9: win a World Series.

630
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 4: So well, a lot of fans were requesting we get

631
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 4: you on here Bratt and we don't always go dive

632
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 4: in this deep, but they really want to know, like

633
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 4: take take us inside the mind of the swing and

634
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 4: the adjustments and stuff like that. So can you give us,

635
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 4: you know, admitt it on and what you're thinking about

636
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 4: this year and you know if it's all driven from

637
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 4: you and people you know that you work with in

638
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 4: the off season, or how much gets influenced by players,

639
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: you know, guys like Lindor Sooto or anyone else on

640
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 4: the team that help you out with like finding that

641
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 4: kind of perfect swing that you feel like is right

642
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 4: for you.

643
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: Yeah.

644
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 9: Well, I mean we're all we're all chasing the perfect

645
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 9: swing and it doesn't exist. But I would say I

646
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 9: made a lot of I made a lot of swing

647
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 9: adjustments this offseason, but I think the biggest thing that

648
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 9: I did was just simplify everything. I went back to

649
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 9: square one and really tried to shorten my stride, really

650
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 9: tried to quiet the head down a little bit, the

651
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 9: sway back and forth. I'm keeping my top hand on

652
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 9: the bat for longer so it's stronger. And then also

653
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 9: just the approach thing. I think I personally, I think

654
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 9: the approach thing is is bigger than the swing mechanics,

655
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 9: because I think you could have I mean, I take

656
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 9: the example Hunter Pence all the time he had a

657
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 9: really funky swing, but I mean he had it looked

658
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 9: like he had a killer's mentality in the box, and

659
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 9: I think that was huge for him. So I think

660
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 9: you can kind of swing however you want. It's just

661
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 9: more about the approach for me, and I think simplifying

662
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 9: my approach swinging at strikes, taking balls and just trying

663
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 9: to put the barrel on the ball is huge for

664
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 9: me this year. Do you know Hunter, I don't.

665
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 3: Well, you hit it right on the head. Yeah, a

666
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 3: killer approach, right, and a brutal looking swing. The only

667
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 3: thing that was worse than his swing was his on

668
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 3: deck swings. He would swing so hard that his belt

669
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: by the time he got up to the plate would

670
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 3: be like his belt loop would be over there. So

671
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 3: you're exactly right, Uh huh, killer mentality. One of the

672
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 3: most positive people that I've ever seen. You go down

673
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: to Triple A and speaking of killer like, you think

674
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: it's sixteen dingers in like two hundred at bats?

675
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 9: Yeah?

676
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 3: Is your no nothing else for you to prove down there?

677
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 3: And is it possible for guys to still get better

678
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 3: in the minor league in your.

679
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 9: Position one hundred percent. I mean, I'm not gonna complain

680
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 9: one day about playing baseball for a living no matter

681
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 9: where you are. That's kind of how I look at it.

682
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 9: As long as I can play this game, I'm gonna

683
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 9: be happy playing it wherever I am. Obviously I want

684
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 9: to be in the major leagues helping a major league

685
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 9: team win, but I'm gonna be where my feet are

686
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 9: so and you can. I feel like you can always

687
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 9: get better no matter you're playing a Sunday league game,

688
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 9: you can do something better in that game. We're we're

689
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 9: all trying to perfect the swing and it's never gonna happen.

690
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 3: So, okay, I appreciate that. Cam's got one for you.

691
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 6: Okay, Yeah, yeah, two questions for you, because I'm listening

692
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 6: to you talk about your approach and your tweak and

693
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 6: you say something that I really love. You said, I'm

694
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 6: really trying to hold my whole keep that top hand

695
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 6: working as long as possible. And I and I you know,

696
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 6: I coached this. I've got a seventeen year old son.

697
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 6: You know, a lot of guys are chasing, you know,

698
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 6: lift and chasing launch.

699
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 7: There's a in the Mets or he used to be.

700
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 7: Is Colin Hessler still with the Mets organization by any chance?

701
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 9: You know, he was our Triple A hitting coach last year,

702
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 9: but he's now with the Red Sox.

703
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 6: Can you did he give you anything? Because I think

704
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 6: that guy is incredible. I think his philosophy and I

705
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 6: and I got with him towards the end of my

706
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 6: career and I wish, I wish I'd have met him

707
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 6: a little bit sooner. And I listen you talk about

708
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 6: the top hand. Did you guys have any conversation, because again,

709
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 6: you did dominate triple that he was there.

710
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 7: Can you just add can you just add anything today

711
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 7: about him? About that?

712
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 5: Oh?

713
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, oh yeah. I mean he's huge. He he was

714
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 9: my Double A hitting coach as well, so he's been

715
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 9: a very instrumental part of my career. He has some

716
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 9: of the best mixed VP that I've had in my

717
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 9: whole career. I mean it's like he's sinking it, he's

718
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 9: cutting it, he's throwing sliders, he's doing everything. He's he's

719
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 9: really good at mix VP. But yeah, we I mean

720
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 9: we work a lot on One of my biggest struggles

721
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 9: was inside pitch and and we would work on that

722
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 9: white line drill almost that Robbie exactly where he's throwing

723
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,359
Speaker 9: it at your front hip and you got to keep

724
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 9: it fair and stuff like that. But I mean, he

725
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 9: was huge for me, and he he was a big

726
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 9: proponent on the top hand, staying on the bat and

727
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 9: everything like that. But yeah, he was really good for

728
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 9: me for sure.

729
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Brad, I'm gonna jump in with my

730
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 4: last one for you, then Krats will finish here. So

731
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 4: I know you worked with Troy till Lwitzki at one

732
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 4: point on d Is that right?

733
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's correct.

734
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 4: Okay, So how I just wanted to know how is

735
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 4: he as a coach. Obviously he was a star player

736
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 4: for a while and then he was training Mookie Betts

737
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 4: a little bit at shortstop this offseason.

738
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, I know, I wish I would have known that

739
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 9: I would have gone over there and worked out with him,

740
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 9: but I haven't. I haven't, uh, I haven't gone over

741
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 9: to Texas in a little bit. But when I did

742
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 9: go over there, he was great. He was great for sure.

743
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 9: He would he would take me through the footwork stuff,

744
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 9: the hand stuff that he used to do, and he

745
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 9: would just I love picking his brain about shortstop third

746
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 9: base stuff like that, how he always used to throw

747
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 9: on the run and just be athletic. Love picking his

748
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 9: brain about that. And then we also did some hitting

749
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 9: stuff together when I went over there too, So yeah,

750
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 9: he was awesome.

751
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 3: All right, we'll transition right into that. I got a

752
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 3: couple of quick hitter questions for you too. Who was

753
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 3: the guy? Do you have a good story about a

754
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 3: guy that you met him baseball or non baseball that

755
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 3: you were like, WHOA, like I met that guy because

756
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 3: you were talking kind of about Mookie there, like is there.

757
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 9: Some yeah, maybe, yeah, maybe in twenty twenty three, so

758
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 9: I guess two years ago. I got called up from

759
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 9: Triple A, like two weeks into the season and hit

760
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 9: a little I was facing Dustin May in La. It

761
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 9: was like my first game hit a little punch shot too,

762
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 9: just like right over Freddie and I get to first

763
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 9: or whatever, He's like, I gave you that one right there.

764
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 9: I gave you that And I was like, no, you didn't.

765
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 9: And I was like iron that or something like that.

766
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 9: And but we just got to talking and I was like, damn,

00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 9: this is this is Freddie right here.

768
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 3: It's Freddy.

769
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 9: It was cool.

770
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 3: It was cool. That's a cool that's a cool moment.

771
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 3: All right. If you had two rookie rookie cards that

772
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 3: you could have, whether you collect baseball cards or not,

773
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 3: two rookie cards that you would be like, yes, like

774
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 3: I need these entire history of baseball.

775
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 9: Oh, history of baseball, not recent. I mean, the Pittsburgh
