And that's what the documentary. 39 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 3: I was starting to try to write a book. I 40 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 3: reached out to my co author, Leslie Butcher. She turned 41 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 3: me down, but she she introduced me to Shelby Kimple, 42 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 3: who who is the director producer of the film. And 43 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 3: during that process, then Leslie decided that we needed to 44 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 3: get the story Don done in the in the book 45 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 3: as well, and we took a year to write that. 46 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 3: But Shelby did an incredible job with the documentary. Some 47 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 3: of my ex teammates and announcers were able to join 48 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 3: in in making the film, and we're you know, it's 49 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 3: the debuting here on September tenth in eighteen theaters and 50 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 3: then it will be shown on Rediscovered TV after that, 51 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: and we're hoping to get it, you know, on on 52 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 3: some other streaming platforms as well, which I think will 53 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 3: happen once people start seeing it. And like I said, 54 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 3: it was, it was hard. It's a it's a tear 55 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: jerker if you see it. But I think it's really 56 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 3: going to help people. 57 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 5: Which one helped you the most writing the book or 58 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 5: doing going through the whole process of the documentary. 59 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 3: You know, I think what helps me is when people 60 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 3: see it and and uh and they say, man, that 61 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 3: that was I really needed to see that. That's going 62 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: to help me, you know, change change some things in 63 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 3: my life. I would say the documentary gave me the 64 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 3: courage to write the book in more detail. So they 65 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 3: both kind of helped each other, you know. But I 66 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 3: think it also helped helped my my dad a lot. 67 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: I think my dad during the making, during the filming 68 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: of the documentary, he realized that maybe my purpose wasn't 69 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 3: a baseball player all along. 70 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: And I think both of. 71 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: Us realized that maybe God was calling me to do 72 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 3: bigger and better things by you know, sharing sharing what 73 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 3: he did in my life and and uh, you know, 74 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 3: and also giving people hope that there's a way out 75 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 3: of addiction and and that they're not alone. It's all 76 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 3: right to be vulnerable, and it's it's uh, it's all 77 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 3: right to get help. You know, in baseball, you think 78 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 3: you're invincible, but you know, in recovery, you have to 79 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 3: admit that you're powerless over whatever it is that told 80 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 3: you down. And that was very hard for me to 81 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 3: do because you know, my dad played me tapes every night, 82 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 3: you know, positive affirmation tapes, driving purpose of a winter 83 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 3: flows to your body. You are great, you are a champion. 84 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 3: You are invincible. There's no limit to your strength, power 85 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: and quickness. You have more than enough to win every game. 86 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 3: And so that's what fed me, and that's what helped 87 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 3: me in the playoffs in my career, but it worked 88 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 3: kind of against me as us as an addict and 89 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 3: an alcohol you know, alcoholically in my career. You know, 90 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 3: I didn't really start drinking until thirty two. I never 91 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 3: saw a drug in one. I felt thirty three. And 92 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: then I got really good at him really fast, and 93 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 3: that about killed me. 94 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 4: It's what's happening in pal always one of my favorites. 95 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 5: You know. 96 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 2: We won some games against each other, we lost some 97 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 2: games against each other, but you were always You're always smiling. 98 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: It was always good to see what you know. What 99 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: One of the questions about this is, and I get 100 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 2: this to ask all the time, about the easiness of 101 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 2: you know, Bobby Jenks, who you knew, passed away recently 102 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: from the stomach cancer, which was you know, from they said, 103 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 2: pills and alcohol, and he had been to rehab and 104 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 2: he kind of had the same story about you. It 105 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 2: hit rock bottom and then he went through it. But 106 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 2: people always say, oh, well, it's just you know, you 107 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: have everything handed to you this and that. But how 108 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 2: easy it is to fall into this as a baseball 109 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 2: player because it is available. It is there now. Some 110 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: teams try to limit it. But if you're listen, we're 111 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: grown man, right, we can do whatever we want and 112 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: we can go to a hotel bar, we can go 113 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 2: to a bar on the way home. We can you know, 114 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: teams do supply you without after games, you know, not 115 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 2: on the road usually, but at home, you know, you 116 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,239 Speaker 2: can have a drink as long as you're not driving home. 117 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 4: So how easy it. 118 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: Was it And I'm amazed you made it that long, honestly, 119 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: because there was very few people that could do what 120 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 2: you did, especially at the time where we played earlier 121 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: in our careers where it was just more accepted. 122 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great seeing you. Yeah we had some awesome battles, man, 123 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: but you're you're always one of my favorites. 124 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 1: You know. It it's it's it's surrounds. It's you're surrounded 125 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: by it. 126 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: Like you said, it's in the clubhouses, it's on the road, 127 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 3: it's in the it's in the hotels. 128 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: I remember being in high school and somebody came. 129 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 3: And talked about the dangers and drugs and alcohol, and 130 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 3: they said, so many of your friends, I'll show your future. 131 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 3: And so I was very particular who I I would 132 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 3: hang around with. It wasn't that there were bad people, 133 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 3: but just you know, good people making bad decisions, and 134 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 3: so I tried to stay away from that. I bought 135 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 3: a guitar and that was my excuse, uh, to not 136 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: go out on the road, you know, I was even 137 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 3: exposed to it, you know, I like, you know, we 138 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 3: get to hang out with some of the coolest rock 139 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,559 Speaker 3: stars in the world, and and so I was even 140 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 3: you know, exposed to potential dangerous situations backstage with those guys. 141 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: But those guys knew I was. I was innocent, and 142 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 3: and they tried to keep that away from me. And so, yeah, 143 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 3: I was lucky to make it as long as I did. 144 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: What what happened was an injury, an injury where they 145 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 3: told me my career might be over. And when I 146 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: went to Seattle, I hadn't established that great group of 147 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 3: friends around me yet like I had in in Anaheim 148 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 3: and Oakland. You know, guys like Garon Anderson and Tim 149 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 3: Salmon and x Sign and Benji Molina and Orlando Polmero 150 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 3: and you know, its perceval and guys like that that 151 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: would you know, if I was doing something stupid, they 152 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 3: would grab me by the collar and be like, hey, man, 153 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 3: wake up, what are you doing? 154 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: You know, And. 155 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 3: And the doctor told me, hey, you know, if your 156 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 3: spinal cord I blew out my T sticks and T 157 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: seven disk, and they told me I might not play again, 158 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 3: and that if I tried to play I could be paralyzed, 159 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 3: and that that sent me into depression. I thought depression 160 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,119 Speaker 3: was fake. I thought anxiety was fake. I never thought 161 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 3: that I would ever have to deal with that, and 162 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 3: I never thought i'd see a drug or do let 163 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 3: alone do one.

You made some cash like yeah, yeah, 338 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 5: I mean that feels like the stars lined close another time. 339 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, so so I got I got close in Boston 340 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 4: playing for Worcester. Uh, you know, got called into the 341 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 4: office a couple of times like hey, we're gonna cut 342 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 4: your start short to maybe like two innings because the 343 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 4: bullpen might need some help later in the week. And 344 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 4: then uh yeah, so it just didn't work out. Never 345 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 4: got that call, but yeah, finally did. 346 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 5: Is that tough? I mean, what you're talking about is 347 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 5: the fact that in Triple A people pitchers, you know, 348 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 5: it looks like our bullpen's a little cooked starter didn't 349 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,719 Speaker 5: go real long tonight. You get kind of pulled out 350 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 5: of a starter or a shortened start, and then you 351 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 5: sit there waiting. Is that hard or do you eventually 352 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 5: learn how to do that? Since by the time you 353 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 5: were a Boston you were an older player. 354 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's kind of you just got 355 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 4: to go with the flow, you know, as much as 356 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,959 Speaker 4: you want to stress about it and stuff, that just 357 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 4: like doesn't help anything. So you just kind of go 358 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 4: with the flow and if it happens, happens. But the 359 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 4: only thing that I can do is pitch as well 360 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 4: as I can and give them a reason to give 361 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 4: me a shot. 362 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 5: Brian, what was it like when you got the call? 363 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 5: That's what I want to know about. 364 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: What was what was that moment like when the manager 365 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 2: called you in and said, hey, Brian, you're going to 366 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 2: pitch for the Phillies in the big leagues? 367 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 5: Did shoot you call first? What was your reaction? 368 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 2: Did you jump up and down and start screaming and 369 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 2: going crazy or did you try to just act all 370 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 2: cool like I knew this was happening. 371 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: Yeah? 372 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 4: No, no, Well I'm not the most animated guy, so 373 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 4: now I wasn't jumping up and down. But uh yeah, 374 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 4: Tank called me into the office. He actually texted me, like, 375 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,719 Speaker 4: I don't know, an hour before report time. We were 376 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 4: in Indie, so the hotel's walkable to the field, so 377 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 4: he was like, hey, just like, you know, come in 378 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 4: as soon as you can come see me. So you know, 379 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 4: I had a hunch. But when I got there, he 380 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 4: sat me down, gave me the spiel about what the 381 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 4: week was looking like, and then kind of told me 382 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 4: what my role was going to be, and then he 383 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 4: ended on it. He ended it with saying, the only 384 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 4: difference is it's going to be in the big leagues. 385 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 4: So yeah, to be honest, I shed a few tears 386 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 4: and I was just really happy. 387 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 5: Who was the first person you called? 388 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 4: I called my wife, went out to the dugout, found 389 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 4: a good spot, called my wife, facetimed her and yeah, 390 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 4: just the only words that I could get out was 391 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 4: we did it. 392 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 5: So what was what was the moment when you got 393 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 5: to Philly that you were like, Wow, I'm a big leader. 394 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 5: Was it the fact that you saw your uniform in 395 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 5: your locker? Was it the fact that you put the 396 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 5: uniform on? What was your moment? 397 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 4: Yeah? I think I think walking into the locker room, 398 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 4: you know, it was special for sure, but yeah, once 399 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 4: once you see your name plate on top of your 400 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 4: locker and the last name on your jersey, just like, 401 00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,719 Speaker 4: I don't know, indescribable feeling. You know, what was it 402 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 4: like when you walked in to the Phillies? 403 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 2: I mean, you have Schwarber, you have Harper, you have Wheeler, 404 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 2: real mood to all right, you got some big name dudes, Nola, 405 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: Christopher Sanchez, Blizardo. Did you know any of these guys 406 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 2: before you got there, because you weren't in camp with 407 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 2: the Phillies. 408 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 5: Were you? 409 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 4: No? No? So yeah, serious star power in that locker room, right, 410 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 4: so yeah, so cool. But there were a few guys 411 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 4: that I did know. One guy in particular I played 412 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 4: with in Wooster Chase Sugar, So, uh, he's been kind 413 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 4: of helping me through the whole thing and giving me 414 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 4: the tips and what I need to know and that 415 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 4: kind of thing, and you know a few other guys 416 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 4: that I had known, uh, to make things feel a 417 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 4: little more like familiar, super helpful, just like feeling a 418 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 4: little bit more comfortable. And then yeah, just like I guess, 419 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 4: just understanding that everybody is at the end of the day, 420 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 4: they're just like they're a human, just like, yeah, there's 421 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 4: superstars in there, but like, yeah, they're they're they're just 422 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 4: trying to kick it too until it's like game time 423 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,719 Speaker 4: in there and then they lock in. 424 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 5: You know, did you feel comfortable enough to play ping 425 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 5: pong against Schwarbur because supposedly he wants to play ping 426 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 5: pong against everybody. Not yet. 427 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 4: I played ping pong against one of his really good friends, 428 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 4: Kyle Hart, back in Worcester, so and Kyle kicked my 429 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 4: ass every time. So we'll we'll have to see what 430 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 4: Swarp's got. 431 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you're not very good at ping pong because 432 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 5: I remember when you were in spring training. I caught 433 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 5: I think your first ever big league spring training outing. 434 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 5: If it wasn't, you got a brutal you got a brutal, 435 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 5: brutal number for your first invite over to spring training 436 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,479 Speaker 5: with the Yankees. But fast forward then that was twenty eighteen. 437 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:54,159 Speaker 5: Fast forward eight years later. How satisfying or intimidating was 438 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 5: it to face the Yankees in your big league debut? 439 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 4: Not intimidating, just like kind of like a full circle moment, 440 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 4: you know, but like I'm here for a reason, you know, 441 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 4: And my biggest thing was trying to stay within myself, 442 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 4: stay calm so that I could have that clarity in game, 443 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 4: so I could analyze the situation in real time, make 444 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 4: the right decision and throw the right pitch and command 445 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 4: it how I need to. 446 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 5: What was more nerve wracking your first big league pitch 447 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 5: or your first pitch in Japan? Because that's the big 448 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 5: leagues in Japan. 449 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, so yeah, I didn't really get to play like 450 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 4: a full like a regular season game there. I played 451 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 4: some exhibition and then spring training games, but yeah, it 452 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 4: just wasn't quite the same. Like this was packed house 453 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 4: at the bank, and this one was felt like a 454 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 4: little bit more pressure for. 455 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 5: Sure, Definitely more pressure. Now you talked about like executing 456 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 5: your pitches. I specifically remember I don't remember the coach, 457 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 5: but I know it is one of the like minor 458 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 5: league roving pitching coaches where you were coming in the 459 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 5: game and they said, Aaron Boone was our manager that 460 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 5: year and boon that was Boonie's first year as the 461 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 5: manager of the Yankees. And I was coming in the game. 462 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,719 Speaker 5: You were coming into the game and they were like, 463 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 5: Boonie's like, I don't really know, but I forget who 464 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 5: the pitching coach is. He's like, he's like, hey, he knows, 465 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 5: he knows about him. And he goes, Dude, this guy, 466 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 5: you know, he's gonna sit ninety two to ninety five 467 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 5: ridiculous command. And you just spotted up. I knew from 468 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 5: that day you were a unicorn. You threw strikes in 469 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 5: the Yankees organization where everybody said, you throw ninety eight 470 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 5: to one hundred and one or you have nothing. Do 471 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 5: you feel like your story proves that people can throw 472 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 5: strikes and still make it to the big leagues or 473 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 5: your story proves that you have to throw hard if 474 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,479 Speaker 5: you truly want to make it to the big leagues. 475 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,879 Speaker 4: Two? Yeah, well, yeah, you're right. So I came up 476 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 4: with the Yankees in a time where they had uh 477 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 4: Louis Severino throwing a hundred. They had delan Betances throwing 478 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 4: a hundred or all this chatman, like every guy was 479 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 4: throwing a hundred. So yeah, I didn't fit in for sure. 480 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 4: But like when you look at these guys, like, yeah, 481 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 4: you're probably gonna have better chance if you're throwing hard. 482 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, it's like, if 483 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 4: you're not executing your pitches and getting ahead, you're you're 484 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 4: gonna have a tough time against big league hitters for sure. 485 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 5: For sure. What different? What about your first big league flight? 486 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 4: That was tight, that was a lot of fun. 487 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 5: What was the best What was the best part about it? 488 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 4: Best part just the environment, Like just seeing these guys 489 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 4: and like that was just like any given Sunday for them. 490 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 4: But uh yeah, to be a part of it is 491 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 4: like so special. 492 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 5: Brian. 493 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 2: When you got when you took the Big League mount 494 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: and you looked up, did you take a minute to 495 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: like soak it in and to look around and just 496 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 2: kind of see the third deck and maybe find your wife? 497 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 2: I think she was at the game. Did you just 498 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 2: take a second? I hope you did, because you deserve 499 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: it for all you've been through. Just take a deeper, 500 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 2: get a pitchclock, violation because you know what I want 501 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 2: to said the umpire.

I want to enjoy every 503 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 2: second of this, so pitchclock away. 504 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. That's exactly what I did. 505 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 4: I looked around, looked up, and like it just kept going, 506 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 4: you know what I mean? And yeah, I did run 507 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 4: out of time. So we got to the point where 508 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 4: JT was like, don't throw this next pitch because we're 509 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 4: gonna get an autoball. So yeah, I took it in 510 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 4: maybe a little bit too much, but it didn't matter. 511 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 5: Where do you have your first strikeout ball? 512 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 4: I think the clubhouse guy still has it. I think 513 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 4: they're gonna I don't know if they authenticated or what, 514 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 4: but that's going to my dad for sure. 515 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 6: Very cool, dude, Yeah, unreal. What about conversations some of 516 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 6: your favorite conversations so far with fans, teammates, et cetera. 517 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,199 Speaker 6: Take us through some of what's going on there that 518 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 6: you can remember. I know it's probably a blur for. 519 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot a lot of yeah, a lot 520 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 4: of and all that stuff. But I think favorite conversation 521 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 4: so far has been with Cotham just like talking ball 522 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 4: with him, talking pitch strategy and like how to attack 523 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 4: certain hitters, how to best use my stuff, and like 524 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 4: I can tell that he loves that kind of stuff 525 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 4: and I do too, So good fit. 526 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,440 Speaker 5: So you were talking about your schedule. Do they tell 527 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 5: you a schedule, because obviously you're aware it's the trade deadline, 528 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 5: You're in this big league life. What's the like you 529 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 5: talking about your triple A schedule and then Tank told you, well, 530 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 5: this is what your schedule is going to be in 531 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 5: the big leagues. Do you have a schedule? Have they 532 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 5: told you your role? 533 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 4: Kind of Yeah, it's a little bit tentative at this point. 534 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 4: So like the deal is we're going to see like 535 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 4: how this series plays out, and if that means on 536 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 4: Wednesday tomorrow, if if I'm going to be in the 537 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 4: bullpen for emergency and if not, we're going to plan 538 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 4: on throwing on Friday. 539 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 5: Does that mean does that mean last night when Wheeler 540 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 5: goes three, do you sit there and go, oh crap, 541 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 5: that means I might get sent down or wait a minute, wait, wait, 542 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 5: I'm ready to go, like I can throw. 543 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, that means like, yeah, put me in coach, Like 544 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 4: I'll be ready tomorrow. If you need me, let's go. 545 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 5: They did. They talk to you aboutvery because normally, if 546 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 5: you were twenty two and not thirty two, they would 547 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 5: have sat there and been like, oh wait wait, we 548 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 5: can't we can't hurt this prospect. But now you have 549 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 5: a beard, now you're older, They're like, yeah, we'll put 550 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 5: you back out there. Yeah. 551 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm just I'm just ready for whatever 552 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 4: they throw at me, Like, I'll take them anyway I 553 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 4: can get them. 554 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 6: Hey, Brian, guide me through how much the minor leagues 555 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 6: have changed pros and cons. Right, So take me through 556 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 6: like first minor league, you know, year or two versus 557 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 6: the last year or two, food tech coaching, everything, the 558 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 6: types of players there. Give me the whole rundown. 559 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, in today's minor league system, I don't exist. 560 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 4: Like I'm a thirty ninth round draft pick. That doesn't 561 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 4: exist anymore. So I spent my first year in the GCL, 562 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 4: then in Pulaski, Virginia in the Appalachian League which is 563 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 4: Roalby Ball, and then Staten Island for a little bit 564 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 4: short season Loway. The only one that exists out of 565 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 4: that is the GCL, which is the FCL now, so 566 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 4: that that's a lot of players that are not in 567 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 4: the organization anymore. And yeah, like I said, I would, 568 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 4: I just wouldn't exist. I would have never gotten the opportunity. 569 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 4: So you know that that's tough to like think about 570 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 4: guys like in my position that like just barely squeaked in. 571 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 4: It's just like they're maybe just not going to get 572 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,239 Speaker 4: that shot anymore. But yeah, as far as like just 573 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 4: like general day to day stuff, like they have it 574 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 4: pretty good now, like it's come a long way. And 575 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 4: I can't speak for every organization. I've been with a 576 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 4: few really good ones, but like the food is better, 577 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 4: the travel is way better because you spend basically six 578 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 4: days with a scheduled off day every Monday. So like 579 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 4: you're not taking these you know, you're not taking too many. 580 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 4: We did it a couple of weeks ago actually, from 581 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 4: Omaha to Indy, but like sleeper bus trips like ten 582 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 4: plus hours and then have to play the next day 583 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 4: at whatever five or six o'clock. I'm sure Cratzy remember 584 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 4: a couple of other scram and going to Charlotte, going 585 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 4: to Durham. Yeah, so they just don't get that anymore. 586 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 4: But you know, they get paid a little bit better, 587 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 4: and yeah, it's better overall. It's just it's just tough 588 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 4: for the guys that might not get that opportunity that 589 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 4: I got. 590 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 5: Right, I was. 591 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 2: I was watching on TV yesterday the Strippers were playing 592 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 2: to Genet. 593 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 5: Strippers were playing somebody I forget who. 594 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 4: They were playing a. 595 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 2: Team and it was Sunday and they were saying, oh, 596 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 2: that ends our six game series, right, and I think 597 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 2: there's just just Stripers went four and two in those 598 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 2: six games. If it is a starting pitcher, does one 599 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 2: guy started the first game and then start this like 600 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 2: Tuesday Sunday or is it every week? One guy starts 601 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 2: like the first game of the series, and the next 602 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 2: guy starts the next game, so you have a six 603 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 2: man rotation. 604 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 5: It stays on the same schedule. 605 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 4: It depends on like the roster that week. But for 606 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 4: the most part, yeah, if you're if you're starting on Tuesday, 607 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 4: you're probably going back out there on Sunday, which is 608 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 4: tough because, like you know, that's that's the only time 609 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 4: it throughout the season that you're gonna throw on the 610 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 4: fifth day, And on top of that, you have to 611 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 4: face the same team you just faced. And on top 612 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 4: of that that Sunday is a day game, so it's 613 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 4: just like not ideal for that situation. But other than 614 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 4: that though, like it's usually it's usually a six day schedule, 615 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 4: but again always changes based on who's coming up and 616 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 4: down and how many starters do we have or are 617 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 4: we gonna throw a bullpen game, you know that kind 618 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 4: of thing. 619 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 5: All right, is it good? Is it good for the game? 620 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 5: All those changes? Because I also was I was a 621 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 5: twenty ninth rounder. I wouldn't have been drafted. I wouldn't 622 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 5: have had my career. Like is it better for everything 623 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 5: that you just mentioned? Is it actually better for the 624 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 5: game or do you feel like it just lines the 625 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,239 Speaker 5: owner's pockets because it's less money. 626 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 4: I don't know if I can make a definitive like 627 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 4: answer on that. Because it is better for the players 628 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 4: that are here, no doubt, it's unfortunate for the guys 629 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 4: that don't get in. But at the same time, these 630 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 4: indie ball leagues now are like getting pretty good, Like 631 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 4: there's a lot of good talent in there. So if 632 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 4: you have, you know, a pretty good showing in those 633 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 4: in those other leagues, you do have a chance to 634 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 4: step into affiliate ball and then hopefully you can prove 635 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 4: yourself from there. 636 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 6: Brian, last one for me, best motivational advice you've ever 637 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 6: received in a time that you needed it most and 638 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 6: worst or the most debilitating words that you heard at 639 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 6: some point. 640 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,439 Speaker 4: Oh man, that's a tough one. 641 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 6: I don't have to attribute the person by the way 642 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 6: you could if you want, but just you know, and 643 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 6: you can paraphrase, but any times where you were like, Wow, 644 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 6: that really helped me, or damn that was harsh? 645 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. I don't know if for sure I've 646 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,479 Speaker 4: ever had anybody like really beat me down with any 647 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 4: harsh words like at least too bad. You know, you 648 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 4: see it in the actions sometimes more than than the 649 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 4: words that are said to you. But I've been blessed 650 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 4: to have like a lot of really great coaches throughout 651 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 4: my career, and I'm gonna say most of them were 652 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 4: always trying to lift me up. So yeah, I don't. 653 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 4: I don't know if I can think of anything off 654 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 4: the top of my head that would be, like, you know, 655 00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 4: a quote that somebody's said. But yeah, I think just 656 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:10,239 Speaker 4: like pitching coaches continually telling me that that that I 657 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 4: can do it and that I belong and that as 658 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 4: long as I just like throw strikes and use my stuff, 659 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:21,319 Speaker 4: that that I can get the job done. Yeah, that's 660 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:22,479 Speaker 4: all I can think of right now. 661 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 6: That's fine, And actually that's nice to hear that, you know, 662 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 6: the advice was good. Sometimes we bring players on with 663 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,919 Speaker 6: a story in the same ballpark as yours and they'll 664 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 6: have that one. Hey, a scout told me this, right, 665 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 6: Kratz like there was one in particular that was really 666 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 6: standing scout. 667 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 5: He was, yeah, yeah, the closer from the Cubs.
