1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: Sean Armstrong joining us right now on f T. Sean,

Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. How you doing, Yeah, man, how

Speaker 1: are you guys? We're good, We're good. I mean, just

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: to get into the combo favorite home run celebration slash

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: skit either from a teammate or just in general in

6
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball for you right now.

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 2: I mean, i'd have to say probably Garcia for me,

8
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: whenever he hits a walk off or a big homer

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: for us.

10
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 3: I love the energy that he kind of brings. But

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: you know, we.

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: Actually had this conversation other in the clubhouse and it's like,

13
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: you know, kind of targeted more towards the freem endeavors

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: thing where you know, got mad.

15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: It's like it's one of those things.

16
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: Man, it's like if you're gonna give it up and

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: you know it's gonna be, you know, an absolute bomb,

18
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: like I'm all for it, like Pemph the homer. I

19
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 2: think I think it brings more attention to the game,

20
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: and you know, like the younger generation, like.

21
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: It's all about the energy.

22
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: So like, you know, regardless, it's just part of baseball,

23
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: and I think it brings a lot of positivity for

24
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: the younger guys.

25
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 4: Should pictures have a skit though, I mean, like only closers,

26
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 4: which will get into the fact that you're a big

27
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 4: time closer. Now we're not in Columbus anymore, but like

28
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 4: you're you're like, should pictures have a skit? Like if

29
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 4: a picture comes off the mound and gives more than

30
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 4: just like the.

31
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's one of those things where

32
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: you kind of gotta be yourself. I'm not I'm not

33
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 2: a big urah guy when it comes to the mound,

34
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: but uh, I mean, if that's your thing, sure, go

35
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: for it. I mean, if you go out there and

36
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 2: kay the side and you know, like that that's part

37
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: of your you know, celebration.

38
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 4: Sure.

39
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: I mean we got a guy, you know, like Crvello

40
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: on us. I mean he celebrates after every strikeout. I

41
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: mean that's just who he is. But I mean I

42
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: think again, he's out there having fun, He's trying to

43
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: do his job. And you know, again, if if that's

44
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: part of you, like, I mean, I'm off for it.

45
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: You know, it's again it makes the game fun and

46
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: brings energy. I'm just I'm just not sure who are

47
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: a type of guy when it comes to you know,

48
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: coming off the mount.

49
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: All right, Well, pictures sometimes they don't always get to

50
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 4: celebrate at the end of their outing. But now that

51
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 4: you're kind of sliding into that closer's role and don't humble,

52
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: I don't know, like you're you're the guy right now

53
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 4: coming out of the pen to close the game out,

54
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: do you need to have your walkout music because that's

55
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 4: kind of the pictures celebration right now, like they celebrate

56
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 4: before they're even before they even get the three outs.

57
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I like the walk up music whenever for

58
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: like the answery obviously, I think it kind of sets

59
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: the mood, sets the vibe, I mean, just like a hitter.

60
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: But I mean I think I don't know about the

61
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: whole playing you know, the walkout after every strikeout or

62
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: out that's.

63
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: Made in an inning.

64
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean i'd be I'd be lying if

65
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: I said that I'm a little OCD if they didn't

66
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: play my walkout whenever I'm running out onto the mound,

67
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: that it might you know, kill the vibes a little bit.

68
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, big walk up component for pictures

69
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 3: and hitters.

70
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: All right, So I got to get into your kind

71
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: of mindset being a big league closer now, even though

72
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: it's really short, you haven't been a big league closer

73
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 4: long because you and I played together in twenty seventeen

74
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: in Columbus and you were still coming up, You were

75
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 4: still kind of getting your feet wet. You had a

76
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 4: little bit of time in the big leagues with the

77
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 4: of the Indians at the time Guardians now, and you

78
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 4: had a temper. I'll tell a story after you tell

79
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 4: the story, after you tell me where your tempers at

80
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 4: right now, because I think it's something that everybody needs

81
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 4: to kind of like live on that borderline. Compared to

82
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: twenty seventeen, where's your temper at now?

83
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: I think it's turned down quite a bit since then.

84
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you played with me. I was a little

85
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: bit of a basket case whenever I was coming up

86
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues. And I tell guys that all

87
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: the time, and you know, I think I'd be lying

88
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: if I said that. You know, my wife and my

89
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: kids were kind of the biggest component of kind of

90
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: bringing that back down to earth. And then you know,

91
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: also training, you know, a bunch of kids outside of

92
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: baseball on off the field, you know, like they watch,

93
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: you know, kind of what I'm doing every day, and

94
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of those things were practice what

95
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: you preach. But uh, controlling the motions is part of

96
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 2: you know, failure is part of the game. And I

97
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: I mean, Kratzy you played with me. I struggled with

98
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: it pretty bad early on in my career.

99
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 4: Would you mind if you tell the story about the

100
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 4: one time Do you remember the one time where I

101
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 4: almost choked you out because of your temper?

102
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: Depends on which one it was, it depends. Was that

103
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 2: in Toledo or is that somewhere else?

104
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: No, it was in Columbus. So in Columbus we had

105
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 4: two We had two batting cages, and sometimes Sean would

106
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 4: get he would give up a hit, and he would

107
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 4: have the same reaction if he gave up three runs.

108
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: But he came into the batting cage, and there was

109
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: two of them long way, so it was you know,

110
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 4: once you were in one of them, you were safe

111
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 4: to be in the other one. You know, he was

112
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 4: throwing stuff around in the batting cage and he found

113
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: a broken bat from one batting cage. He threw it

114
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 4: and somehow it went through the opening and made it

115
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: into the other opening, almost an impossible shot, like dude,

116
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 4: perfect type of shot, and the bat hit me. I

117
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 4: was stretching in the other cage and I was sitting

118
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 4: on the ground and it hit me, and he and

119
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 4: shone through it, and he went from like one hundred

120
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 4: miles an hour mad to I am so sorry, like

121
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 4: I am so He's like, you were, you were so apologetic.

122
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 4: And then you came back to me after the game.

123
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 4: He said, I thought you were going to punch me

124
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 4: in the face when you did that. So I saw,

125
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 4: I saw a moment of maturity. And now look at you,

126
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 4: you're just so calm and collected.

127
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, it was. It was a little bit of

128
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: a problem back then.

129
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: And I mean obviously, you know, I say it all

130
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: the time, especially like whenever you're in Bigley camp with

131
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: this that year, it's like you came in the clubhouse.

132
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 2: And I think that also speaks to, you know, testament

133
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: to you throughout your career too, is every clubhouse you

134
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: ever ran, it was like you were there for you know,

135
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: ten years, And you know, I think that's a testament,

136
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: you know, obviously to my maturity. But at the same time,

137
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: like having guys like you, you know, kind of groom

138
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 2: us in that way.

139
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 3: As we were coming up too. Helped a lot.

140
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, I saw red and then I saw an

141
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: oh crap moment that this guy's huge and he might

142
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: actually kick my ass in this cave. So yeah, thankfully

143
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: we didn't in that way and we worked it out.

144
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, we worked it out. We're still buddies. But do

145
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: the Rangers got a shot? Man? Do you guys have

146
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 4: a shot? Because of where you're at? Everybody like on

147
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 4: shows like this, and you know, AJ and I played,

148
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 4: so we're you know, we're giving it honest, like in

149
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 4: these moments, we know you're looking to the scoreboard, But

150
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 4: do you guys have a Do you guys in the

151
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 4: clubhouse say, well, if we make the playoffs or are

152
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 4: you guys saying when we make the playoffs, like, don't

153
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 4: make plans for October yet.

154
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I think we can all like, I think

155
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: we all feel it, you know.

156
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously this we've had a lot of peaks

157
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: and valleys over the course of the season that hasn't

158
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 2: gone our way, and we've lost some close games that

159
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: you know, obviously we'd be sitting in a different situation

160
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: if we would have won those games. But I mean

161
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 2: the vibes in the clubhouse right now, are you know,

162
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: they're really good. We have i mean seekers coming back,

163
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: you know, and then obviously we've had some daggers with

164
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: some players that we've lost. But I think that you know,

165
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: every young guy that's kind of came up and had

166
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: an opportunity is taken advantage. And i'd be lying to you, man,

167
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: I think the energy over the past three or four

168
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: weeks here has been probably better than it's been, you know,

169
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: throughout the main part of the season.

170
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: And I think every one of us believe in it, and.

171
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: We've all said it, like just get in, and we

172
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 2: got a really good opportunity to do some damage in

173
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So like, I think every single person in

174
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: that clubhouse believes that we can get in. You know,

175
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: obviously we got to have some other things go our way.

176
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: There's you know, Seattle's kind of riding a roller coaster

177
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 2: right now as well. And yeah, I mean we are

178
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: scoreboard watching, but the only thing we can do is

179
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: take control of what we can control and control one

180
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: out at the time, one game at a time, and

181
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: try and win each game we got. We got a

182
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: heck of a schedule moving forward. We realize that, but

183
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: I think at the same time, it prepares us for

184
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 2: playoff baseball to be going against you know, number one

185
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 2: teams in the division throughout the remainder of the season,

186
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: I think besides two teams, and you know, they're all

187
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: playing for something too. But yeah, we believe in ourselves, man,

188
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: and like hell yeah, like we want to get into October.

189
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: We want to make a run at it, and you know,

190
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: like which we trust everybody in that clubhouse. And again

191
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: there's been some times that haven't gone the way we wanted,

192
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,559
Speaker 2: but we're playing really good baseball collectively right now.

193
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,320

217
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,680

218
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: calling some of those replacements the little rascals? Is that

219
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: a thing more on the TV broadcast or is that

220
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: permeating inside the clubhouse?

221
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 3: Honestly, man, that's a first for me. I haven't heard that.

222
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: Maybe that's more of a TV thing, But I'm gonna

223
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: definitely have to ask about that whenever I get there.

224
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 3: Today.

225
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: And I mean, but I mean the guys they brought

226
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: up man like it, like Freeman, Seeing that kid have fun,

227
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: you know, day in and day out, no matter where

228
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: he's playing, it's it's a joy to see man like

229
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 2: it fires us up whenever he crosses on play, tie

230
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 2: and run, whatever it may be, and you know.

231
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 3: Jumps in through the roof like he's he's a ball

232
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: of energy.

233
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 2: But you know a lot of the guys that we've

234
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: you know, brought up right now, like Dyling More stepping

235
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: up for Seeger, who's you know, like dealing with that

236
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 2: type of situation.

237
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 3: Hellman, who's been huge for us coming down the stretch.

238
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's kind of throw and through

239
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: the guys that have stepped up, and you know, there's

240
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: a lot of energy, but the little rascals haven't heard it.

241
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna have to ask about that when I get.

242
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 7: There, all right.

243
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: So our teammate Ken Rosenthalo, of course writes for The

244
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: Athletic as well, put this in his article from this morning.

245
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: David Murphy, former Outbuilder now Rangers TV analyst dubbed them

246
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: the little rascals. Cody Freeman, Alejandro Zuna, Michael Hellman and

247
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: Dustin Harris.

248
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 7: So there you go.

249
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 3: The more you know, perfect, I like it.

250
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 4: That's why you come on here. You find stuff out.

251
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 4: You don't watch, you don't watch your own games. You

252
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 4: just sit in the pen getting ready to throw. Well,

253
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 4: why do you think that energy is a thing? I mean,

254
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 4: you guys have some dudes that have some serious resumes,

255
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 4: some nice backs of the baseball card. Do you feel

256
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 4: like sometimes too many veterans or too many like solidified

257
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 4: guys kind of become a little malaised during the season,

258
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: not that they're not playing hard, but just that energy

259
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 4: that you're talking about of a guy who's like, I'm

260
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 4: in the big leagues, Like, here we go, let's get it.

261
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 2: I think the difference Man and upset it is like

262
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: it's not like a we're not a hoorrah team, you know,

263
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: like and as far as that goes, and you know,

264
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: obviously we have guys that are at times like you know,

265
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 2: Garcia's homers and stuff like that in big time situations.

266
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it fires us up.

267
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: But I think that it's more of the standard that

268
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 2: the front office is set for us, and that's the

269
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: expectation to win. And I think that with the resume

270
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 2: that our guys do have, and coming off you know,

271
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three World Series and then last year

272
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 2: being the season they wanted after winning a World Series.

273
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 2: I think it's just more of like the expectation of

274
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 2: the standard here is to win baseball games, and we.

275
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 3: Never get too high, we never get too low.

276
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 2: And it's like whenever we were going through it, you know,

277
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: a stretch we were losing games, like nobody's sitting around

278
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: complaining and you know, like or whatever it may be

279
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 2: about playing time or being optioned or whatever, it's like

280
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: you still come to the field one day at a time,

281
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 2: you know, take care of your business, to your routine,

282
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: and have the expectation to win ball games. And you know,

283
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: like you know, de grim Vivaldi, those guys they're not

284
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: they're not big hoorai guys either. The expectation and whenever

285
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: they get the balls to get a w and whenever

286
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 2: things on the go o their way, they're right back

287
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: in the pen, you know, the next day, talking to

288
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: whether it's delivery, scouting reports, tipping pitches, whatever it may be,

289
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: trying to find the next advantage to win the.

290
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 3: Next baseball game.

291
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: And again I don't spend a lot of time with

292
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 2: the hitters obviously, but it seems like they're all and

293
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 2: they're kind of doing the same thing, their same routine.

294
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, I don't I wouldn't say that

295
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, anything like that. I just think

296
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 2: that it's just an expectation and that's a standard, and

297
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: that's something that you know whenever I signed see why

298
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: express you know, from the first conversation on is we're

299
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 2: here to win a World Series.

300
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 3: We're here to win baseball games. That's our expectation.

301
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 2: Is no like if we make the playoffs, if we

302
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: get there, it's like our we're here to win, and

303
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 2: you know, like that's the one common.

304
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 3: Goal, you know.

305
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: And obviously it's a long season and we put ourselves

306
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: in a good spot going down this last stretch, and

307
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 2: we just got to control what we can control.

308
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 4: Army, Can you tell me as we get in a

309
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 4: little bit of your journey to becoming the closure of

310
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 4: the Rangers, can you tell me every number you've ever

311
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 4: had in the big leagues?

312
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 2: Uh, probably fifty one with Cleveland, thirty seven with Seattle,

313
00:13:52,920 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 2: forty three with Baltimore, sixty four with Tampa. I think

314
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 2: I was forty three with Tampa two, maybe forty six,

315
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: forty six. I do not know my number in Miami,

316
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: and then my number here is forty three in Texas,

317
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: and then I do not know my numbers in Saint

318
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: Louis or Chicago.

319
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, forty three good core.

320
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 4: That's pretty good. Forty three, sixty four and thirty, but

321
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 4: that's pretty good. All of those stops, all of those

322
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 4: stops to get you to the point where you are

323
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 4: right now and a team that's on the brink of

324
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 4: doing something awesome in the playoffs. What part of that

325
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: journey do you feel like was like essential to be

326
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 4: able to get you to where you are right now

327
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 4: to have success, Because if people look at your career numbers,

328
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 4: they're gonna be like, dang, how'd this guy bounce around

329
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 4: a lot? It's the life of a I don't even

330
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 4: know what I'd call you, Like a middle not a

331
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 4: middle reliever because you throw a way too hard to

332
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 4: be a middle reliever and have too much anger, but

333
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 4: just a just a non closer, a non closing reliever

334
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 4: to bounce around like you had. With the career numbers

335
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 4: that you have, which of those stops. Do you feel

336
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 4: like was essential to put you in the place where

337
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 4: you're at right now?

338
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: You know, I mean I'd be lying if I said that,

339
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: you know, all of them weren't essential. I mean, they're

340
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: all a piece to the puzzle, you know, Cleveland being

341
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: able to have the bullpen and the starting rotation. They

342
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: kind of groomed me and set the standard of what

343
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: it's like to be a big leaguer and also what

344
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: it's like to be a veteran and a presence towards

345
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: younger guys.

346
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: I mean that was huge.

347
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: Uh, you know obviously when I was in Baltimore and

348
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: experiencing the struggles and the struggles as a team as

349
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: a whole like that, I mean, that's that's a learning curve.

350
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: Going to Tampa and learning the kind of like the

351
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: whole philosophy of analytics and motion capturing, kinetrax and you

352
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: know everything that Kyl Snyder and that group does like

353
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: kind of grooming me to really fully understand that type

354
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: of data. And then I mean, I think you can

355
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: buy in all of those they're all essential, But I

356
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: mean I think that the biggest thing for me was

357
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: probably Tampa and the culture that that front office built

358
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: through a clubhouse and the standard that that pitching staff

359
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: held for every single individual, and then Snyder's ability to

360
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: individualize every single pitcher that stepped in that clubhouse. So

361
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: like just like understanding that it's not a one size

362
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 2: fit all, that every single person is different, every single

363
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: person gets out differently, and you know, like just and again,

364
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: the culture.

365
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 3: The culture is a big thing, man. I mean, I

366
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: think we can all agree.

367
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: To that when it comes to baseball, Like if you

368
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: don't have culture, you don't have a vibe, you're not

369
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: gonna win a lot of baseball games. And that's that's

370
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: a big part of everything. But you know, career as

371
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: a whole man, I think that's kind of what has

372
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: really groomed me to their like never get too high

373
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 2: and never get too and you know, like I've said

374
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: it before, I got a toattooed on me, like never

375
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 2: fear failure. So a recording of God, God's plan, It's

376
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 2: gonna happen, like felare is a part of this game.

377
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 2: Learn from it, and anytime you get the baseball, treat

378
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: it like as your last.

379
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 7: I love that.

380
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 4: I love that. I felt like anytime you got the

381
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 4: baseball and I used to say, you and Trevor Bauer,

382
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Mike Clevenger used to play catch against each other.

383
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 4: You guys didn't play catch with each other. You played

384
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 4: against each other like you would be like fifty feet

385
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 4: away from each other and just throw as hard as

386
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 4: you could. So I like that. That's a good, good mantra.

387
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 4: Every time you got the ball. Your birthday's coming up.

388
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 4: Do you feel like your birthday, which is on September eleventh,

389
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 4: is overshadowed every year? Or do you feel like farther

390
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 4: and farther we get away from that terrible day in

391
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 4: our history, you get to celebrate it more. Because I

392
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 4: remember you said that one time when we played together

393
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 4: that you were like, you guys get to celebrate your

394
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: birthday all the time, and mine gets overshadowed by September eleven.

395
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 4: And you were like, but that's okay, Like I feel

396
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 4: like it's kind of fair.

397
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

398
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 2: I mean it's a you know, one of the worst

399
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: disasters in American history, So I mean, rightfully, so that's

400
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: going to take the cake.

401
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just another day. Man.

402
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 2: The older I get, you know, turning thirty five this year,

403
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 2: it's like, cool, you know it's another birthday, and you know,

404
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 2: actually being in New York, I'm actually thinking about going

405
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: down to the uh you know where the trade centers

406
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: and everything were on on on our off day in

407
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: New York. So like that'll kind of be cool to

408
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 2: kind of go there where it happened, and then also

409
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 2: kind of, you know, celebrate my birthday on an off day,

410
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: but go see some history and see some cool things

411
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 2: I've never been to before.

412
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: That's actually a really good idea, really good idea to

413
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: go check it out around their Freedom Tower. But yeah,

414
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: I didn't know that birthday on nine to eleven. That's

415
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: tough because it's a somber day you know, in the

416
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: country too, right, so you're kind of like, yeah, I

417
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: want to celebrate, but also this day is for.

444
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 4: first flights across the country. Did we have did we

445
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 4: have any turbulence or were we good?

446
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 7: No?

447
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 4: No turbulence on this flight?

448
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 8: Oh my god, bro, no no more, please, no more.

449
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 8: That was that was really tough when we went to Minnesota.

450
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 8: But it was like like forty minutes, like really Trulans.

451
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 7: That was bad.

452
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 4: Was there was there certain guys who were like was

453
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: there anybody crying on the plane, because I know, now

454
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 4: this is a gross generalization, but I know some Latin

455
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 4: guys whenever there's turbulence, they stopped playing cards. They just

456
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 4: sit there and they're like, oh please please. Was there

457
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 4: anybody that was really taking the turbulence tough?

458
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 7: Bro?

459
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 8: We literally started like just I mean joking about it

460
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 8: the first ten minutes, and then after damn fifteen, it's like, okay,

461
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 8: this is serious, and everybody stop playing cards, is just

462
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 8: like back in their seats with the seatbelt on it,

463
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 8: and it's like, okay, just just I mean just silent totally,

464
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, Like nobody's talking for the

465
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 8: next twenty minutes. Some people like, you know, I like

466
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 8: yelling like hey, what what is that?

467
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 7: Like what I like? But it was, I mean fun,

468

500
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 8: change up like every once in a while, but those

501
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 8: two main pitches, wills and the sinker a little more

506
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 8: go back back foot with the counter and the sweeper

507
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 8: and ended up like out over to variety.

508
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 7: So he's he's work, he's he's working on that. I

509
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,760

510
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 8: But like we got him Tony and hopefully, hopefully it's

511
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 8: going to be a good one.

512
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 4: But how do you know? How do you know he's elite?

513
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 4: You have like four minutes in the big leagus like

514
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 4: you you you talk, you talk, you really do, and

515
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 4: you command like that presence like you've been in the

516
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 4: big leagus and it looks like these pictures they follow you.

517
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 4: Who do you did that too? Or who do you

518
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 4: give like, how do you know like he's the elite

519
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 4: because other people tell you, or it's because you're a

520
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 4: student of the game and you watched a lot of games.

521
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 8: I mean, I watch a lot of games. Of course,

522
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 8: I'm I'm a rookie, you know what I mean. But

523
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 8: I always ask questions. I have really good mentors throughout

524
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 8: I mean my Orch experience, but I mean a really

525
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 8: good mentor. When it was my time with the yankeestory,

526
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 8: Trevino helped me a lot. He was my guy there,

527
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 8: Gary Cole bro he helped me a lot. Like last

528
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 8: year especially, I called him a lot. I call him

529
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 8: his his rehab assignments in the minors when he was

530
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 8: trying to get to the big least again, So we

531
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 8: got a lot of conversations about the game plan and stuff.

532
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 8: So I just see bees I mean, and it's like

533
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 8: the same type of preparation and focus as I mean

534
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 8: Gary cole had in the moments. So it's of course,

Speaker 6: Dude? Yeah?

571
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 8: I asked him about it one time and told me, like,

572
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 8: in high school, I think it's this is right. In

573
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 8: high school, he's always told so his his pants never

574
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 8: fit him, like like longwise, so he's on one day

575
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 8: he just put it like that, and it's like he

576
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 8: keep it and he's speeching right now in the biggies

577
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 8: like that. I used told me, like, bro, you're in

578
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 8: the big league. You can make your pants however you want.

579
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 8: I said, I know, I want to keep like this.

580
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 4: So yeah, the reason nobody says anything is because he's

581
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 4: six foot seven. Who wins in a fight him or

582
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 4: all this? Chapman, I got it.

583
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 8: That's like, but I gotta say, choppy, bro, choppy workout

584
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 8: every day. He's I don't know, he's another beast right there,

585
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,479
Speaker 8: so probably choppy.

586
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 4: Okay, what is it like catching him right now? I

587
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 4: caught him backing let's see, I'm seventeen, and then again

588
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 4: in spring training, and then twenty Also, what is it like,

589
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 4: what is it like catching him on the heater that

590
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 4: he's on right now, fifty straight batters that he faced.

591
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 4: You think he's so good you didn't even want to

592
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 4: catch the one strikeout so he could get four strikeouts

593
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 4: last night.

594
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 8: I told him, I told him yesterday, like, Bro, you're

595
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 8: still making history. You got a four strikeout night and

596
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 8: in it's safe. So it's like, no, that bitch West grows.

597
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 8: I don't know if, of course this is my first time,

598
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 8: my first year catching him. I didn't see him like

599
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 8: when he was I don't know in twenty eight when

600
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 8: he was throwing like one o five. But right now,

601
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 8: to me, how he's pitching, how are looking from behind

602
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 8: the play?

603
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 7: He's on his peak.

604
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 4: Bro.

605
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 8: He can throw ninety nine when he wants, he can

606
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 8: throw ninety five. He can get the split down, he

607
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 8: can throw the slider. Yesterday he got a couple of

608
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 8: days off and his fastball wasn't there, so we were

609
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 8: lean a little more on the houspy and the spin,

610
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 8: so we got the slider and and the split. It

611
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 8: involved early, so it's like he's able to do that, bro,

612
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 8: and his age, like thirty seven years old, he's able

613
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 8: to this day, Bro, the slighter is the pitch we

614
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 8: can throw sliders. This day is the split we can

615
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 8: throw split. And this day is the fast one. You

616
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 8: may see ten fast in a row. So it's like

617
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 8: he's the pitcher, like he can do that right now,

618
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,479
Speaker 8: and he's always prepared and he's he's not his business. Bro,

619
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 8: He's been in a in this live for a while

620
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 8: and he knows when he when he needs to.

621
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 7: Come like right away throwing a hundred.

622

00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 8: and trying to manage his his worklow, he can throw

00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:14,360

Speaker 8: This at this time of the year for him, you know,

00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 8: like social history what he's doing fifty batters in a row.

630
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 8: So I just I just feel feels blessed, blessed to

631
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 8: be behind the playwind.

632
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: Hey Carlos, did you hear about that story where he

633
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: goes in spring training, Oh, I think I'm gonna actually

634
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: spot my fastball now a billion years into my big

635
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: league career. Did you hear about that. It looks like

636
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: you did from your smile, And what did you think

637
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: when he finally realized I'm not just gonna throw it

638
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: towards the play, I'm actually going to aim this thing

639
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: a little bit.

640
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's kind of kind of it's kind

641
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 8: of crazy because I mean, when you are a catcher,

642
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 8: you want to call fast all away fast well le

643
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 8: fastball opinion, especially with the pitch come so now, I

644
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 8: mean he's after he's being a lead for a while

645
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 8: and he's just saying like, okay, and I'm actually locating

646
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 8: my fastball now in when I want it away when

647
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 8: I want it. It's like, okay, just I mean, I don't,

648
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 8: I don't. I don't know why you didn't before. Let's

649
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 8: do it, you know. So it was I don't know

650
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 8: his his pitching. We com picching now and every pitch

651
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 8: had had an intent probably I don't know all decoration

652
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 8: on him what he's succeeding, succeeding right now, but he

653
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 8: was a big, big adjudgment for him.

654
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 4: Bro, he throws two fastballs and people don't don't know this,

655
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 4: but it's fastball. When he goes glove side into a righty,

656
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 4: it cuts correct and then when it way, it's sinks

657
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 4: it runs away from the righty or into or lefty.

658
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 7: Yes, yes, yes, it's more like a runner.

659
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 4: But yes, nobody.

660
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, he throw both. He throw both, so.

661
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 4: He throws the sinker and sometimes also.

662
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 7: I think that's that's that's a misfire. You gotta be

663
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 7: ready for it.

664
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 8: And you you as a catcher, I mean you know

665
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 8: it's tough for like, especially with him, like with his

666
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 8: wind up and his mechanics. Is it's gotten you fast.

667
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 8: So those those into a too already misfires.

668
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 7: We want to go up away with the sinker. It's

669
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 7: not a sinker.

670
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 8: It's more like a like a runner with the force

671
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 8: in sometimes cuts, So you gotta be ready for it.

672
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 8: Like as a as a hitter, I don't know. I

673
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 8: never faced him, so I don't I don't want to

674
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 8: face him. I want to catch him. So like it's

675
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 8: going on you fast, and he got he got controls.

676
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 7: Of all his pitches.

677
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 8: He he can't control the fast, but he can control

678
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 8: the sinker, the slighter the split. So the split is

679
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 8: the most difficult right now because you don't know where

680
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 8: it goes.

681
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 7: But it's nasty, like you got we fund it.

682
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 8: You gotta swing a miss with that pitch, so you

683
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 8: keep callinghim. But sometimes cuts down sometimes aren't fade down,

684
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 8: so he's like, you gotta be ready for it.

685
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 7: But the common thing with the split is going.

686
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 8: Down always, So that's why it's a good pitch. You

687
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 8: can find swinging and miss there, so we continue to

688
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 8: call it. But that's what happened yesterday. That's plea was

689
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 8: like ninety two and cuts down a little bit, and

690
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 8: they previously that he throw me was like more straight down,

691
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 8: So it just it's just something you gotta be ready

692
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:29,959
Speaker 8: for it.

693
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 7: But it's nazy, all right.

694
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 4: Well tell him when you see him today that I

695
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 4: never had any problem catching him or heading off him,

696
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 4: and he'll he'll know exactly what you're talking about. But

697
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 4: my question was going to be on that split, because

698
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 4: I remember the first time I ever caught that split.

699
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 4: He threw it one time in a bullpen in twenty seventeen,

700
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 4: and it's like a it's like a knuckleball sometimes, like

701
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 4: the way it comes out, and then in eighteen he

702
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 4: started throwing it in spring training. I remember catching him

703
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 4: in twenty then and thinking I don't like, I didn't

704
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 4: even want to call it. Do you ever sit there

705
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,479
Speaker 4: and go just like you said, like it's gonna be nasty,

706
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 4: do you ever sit there and go I don't know,

707
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 4: Like this is a one run game. I know this

708
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 4: will get the strikeout, but I gotta keep it in front.

709
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 4: I'm not sure where it's gonna be. Do you ever

710
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 4: hesitate or you're just like now whatever?

711
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 8: We got this yeah right now at this point though,

712
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 8: But early on this season, I remember one series we

713
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 8: went again to Milwaukee that was like maybe early June.

714
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 8: There's split wasn't there. It was like he was throwing that.

715
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 7: On the deer, like so it was bad. It was bad.

716
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 7: I remember where I cool Istory like one day.

717
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 8: I think it was a safe in Milwaukee or not

718
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 8: a safe because I think we lost those three games.

719
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 8: But it was one game there and he is knocked

720
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 8: down like so bad out front.

721
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 7: I just blogg and got it, got me into the throat.

722
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 8: So it's like okay, wait after the game, like I

723
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 8: just went on him in his logo and said like,

724
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 8: hey bro, this is clarid. You're gonna throw again in

725
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 8: December at you house. We're never gonna throw this is

726
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 8: split again. And then and then he got a little

727
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 8: I mean, he joked, but then he was like, Okay,

728
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 8: you're gonna see that. I'm gonna, I gonna, I'm gonna

729
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 8: fix this this pitch.

730
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 7: Bro.

731
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 8: Like literally two weeks after he started throwing the split.

732
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 8: I think we were in New York, the first series

733
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 8: in New York, and we threw one to Bolpy. I

734
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 8: remember that one, and we threw him out with that

735
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 8: one said like, okay, bro, this is split place. And

736
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 8: after that, brother, like that was early like mid June probably,

737
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 8: and after that the split is being amazing. Like I

738
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 8: don't I don't, I don't hesitate that that that pitch anymore.

739
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 8: Like I said, you gotta be ready because you don't

740
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 8: know where it goes. But like it is nasty, it

741
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 8: is nasty, and like you you find swing a miss,

742
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 8: but now don't don't, don't don't hesitate early June probably

743
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 8: may but now but no.

744
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 4: Now, all right, So you were the Yankees and then

745
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: you get traded to the Red Sox. What is that?

746
00:34:59,719 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 7: Like?

747
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 4: What is that feeling of constantly being surrounded in the

748
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 4: Yankees organization of Red Sox suck? Red Sox suck, And

749
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 4: all of a sudden you're like wait a minute, I

750
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 4: just got traded to them. I just spent all this

751
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 4: time saying how much the Red Sox suck, and now

752
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 4: I love the Red Sox and the Yankees suck. Take

753
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 4: us through that emotion when you got traded, but you

754
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 4: got traded to the Red Sox.

755
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 7: No, bro, it's not a secret, like how's how's this rivalry?

756
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 7: You know what I mean?

757
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 8: Like of course when I was over there, like you

758
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 8: always see the Red Sox as as.

759
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 7: They see it, you know.

760
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 8: So when I when I got traded, I wasn't Venezuela

761
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 8: playing Winter Bowl. Actually I remember it was the h

762
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 8: that day, so it was the last day of the

763
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 8: Winter meetings.

764
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 7: So I just keep my phone on ring just in case.

765
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 8: And I went to a bayroom and my phone, my

766
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 8: phone was was ringing. Somebody was calling. I didn't think

767
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,399
Speaker 8: the answer. I didn't have the number safe. So then

768
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 8: like findnes after my phone keeps kids training, So I said, okay,

769
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 8: I just pick it up and it was somebody from

770
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 8: the Yankees telling me that it was trade to the Rex.

771
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 8: So I was like okay, I just said I just

772
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 8: sat like okay, like this just happened. Just ninety years

773
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 8: with them, so it's like, Okay, I guess this is good.

774
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 7: Uh, And then I look into the news.

775
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 8: That was the same day that the character check got
