1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: I definitely was vocal with it, you know, knowing that

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: this is my personality and how I want to.

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,880
Speaker 2: Get into a groove. I knew that starting would be

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: more of my speed.

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 3: All Right, we've got Blue Jay's reliever Jeff Hoffman with us,

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 3: and you're back in Toronto.

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 4: It's been a minute, Jeff.

8
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 5: Are you excited to be back with this team? Yeah,

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 5: very excited. It's spent a long time.

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 6: But getting to kind of rekindle old relationships with staff

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 6: members and I actually haven't played with any of the

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 6: players in this clubhouse, but getting to rekindle old relationships

13
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 6: with former staff and stuff, it's been fun.

14
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: How much has it changed because this wasn't here? No,

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: this definitely wasn't here. This whole complex they have here

16
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 2: and you were traded People don't know for Troy Tulowitski

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen, wasn't it So? I mean, how much

18
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: is it different from when you were here geez, almost

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: ten years ago now to where you are now? Yeah?

20
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 6: Totally different building, even the same I mean we're on

21
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 6: the same street, but different, different structure.

22
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean this place has grown crazy.

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 6: It's uh, I mean, probably one of the better spring

24
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 6: training complexes in the league.

25
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 5: From what I've seen, so kind of gone from from

26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 5: worse the first.

27
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 6: It's been nice to get to utilize all the great

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 6: facilities that have around here.

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're exactly the same.

30
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 7: I was drafted by the Jays, didn't make it to

31
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 7: the big leagues a little bit differently, but then I

32
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 7: came back later quite a little bit differently. Again I

33
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 7: got back to to catch Dicky. But anyway, I remember

34
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 7: when you were drafted. We were in the Big League

35
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 7: clubhouse in Toronto and you were drafted, and it's good

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 7: none of those guys are there, because they were all

37
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 7: hating on you.

38
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 4: They were like, what, we took a picture.

39
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 7: We took a picture in the ninth pick overall, when

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 7: you were picked by the Jays, did you say, dang,

41
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,919
Speaker 7: I don't want to play for those.

42
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 4: Loose they don't like me either.

43
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: No, not really. I was.

44
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 5: I was super excited. I you know, I was just

45
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 5: excited to start my pro career. And I mean I

46
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 5: was broken at that time.

47
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 6: I had I had my Tommy John surgery that I

48
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 6: had just been recovering from, and so I wasn't even

49
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 6: I mean I had a year a year plus probably

50
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 6: to start playing still. So I mean I was really

51
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 6: excited because Toronto to me is it was a little

52
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 6: close to home, and you know it was better than

53
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 6: ending up, you know, somewhere on the West coast like that.

54
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 6: So it was it was a good day.

55
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: You mentioned, can I see your zipper?

56
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 5: Yeah?

57
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: Gosh, can we Is there a way we can close

58
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: up on that? Just just so anybody that says Tommy

59
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: John is not a big deal, can we can we

60
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: show this on his one camp? Jimmy put that thing

61
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: up there so we can, Like, for anyone that says

62
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 2: that Tommy John is not a big deal, I mean

63
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: I want you to be able to see that right there.

64
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: That is nasty scar. So so nobody, nobody say that

65
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: Tommy John is not a big deal. But then so

66
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: I got to ask you because you went through the

67
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: off season and you had some physical yeah question marks, right,

68
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: so you had deals you thought with other places? Do

69
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: you know what it was? Do they tell you they say, hey,

70
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 2: this is why, and then you go back because I

71
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: don't know how this as a free agent, I never

72
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: had that come up. So do you go back then

73
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: with your agency? No, it's not this, he doesn't that

74
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 2: doesn't hurt or it's not a big deal.

75
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, Yeah, I mean it's it's tough, right because

76
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 6: like everybody's got their doctors that they trust and that

77
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 6: they're that's their team doctor, and and you know that's

78
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 6: you know, they're they're paying them for that for that

79
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 6: reason and to.

80
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 5: Give them their their opinion, you know.

81
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, Uh, imaging is

82
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 6: is kind of a big gray area. So you know,

83
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 6: there's stuff that could show up in a picture that

84
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 6: doesn't really affect me on a day to day basis,

85
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 6: but it's there, you know, for whatever reason, maybe it

86
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 6: bothered me in.

87
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 5: The past or whatever.

88
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 6: But at this point, I'm healthy, and uh, you know

89
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 6: it's something that I'm I'm it's not even on my radar.

90
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 6: I've I've been going through a normal throwing progression. I've

91
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 6: been healthy the past two years. It's I'm in a

92
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 6: really good spot from a health standpoint.

93
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 7: After those of those things came back from your physical

94
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 7: whatever it was. Were you afraid when you agreed with

95
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 7: the Blue Jays, You're like, how long was it after

96
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 7: you agreed that you had to wait for them to

97
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 7: like clear your fifth goal?

98
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, it was it was the deal with with

99
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 5: the Blue Jays.

100
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 6: You know, at that point, you know, the other two

101
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 6: had already transpired, and you know, we were totally out

102
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 6: in the open with with everything with the Blue Jays,

103
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 6: so they knew, you know, exactly what they were getting into.

104
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 6: They saw all the imaging and you know, it's like

105
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 6: I said, it's something that every team has their own

106
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 6: their own opinion on it. And you know they're, you know,

107
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 6: the same teams that you know that flag did. You know,

108
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 6: still had offers on the table. So it's not like

109
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 6: they completely pull out. They you know, it was uh,

110
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 6: you know, to read into that what you want. But

111
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 6: the Blue Jays were great and they you know, they

112
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 6: take it for what it is and just excited to

113
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 6: be here and.

114
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm healthy and I'm ready to go on.

115
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: We got to show your arm again because your camera

116
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 2: got a little fuzzy. So let's let's see if we

117
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 2: can show. Don't tell me again that that Tommy John

118
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: isn't a big deal. Look at that thing.

119
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 4: That's nasty.

120
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: That's one of them things. Looks like the guy in

121
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 2: Jaws at his leg bitting off at some point, right,

122
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: are you mad at the other teams that like, we

123
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: use Baltimore because Baltimore was the big team that was

124
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: out there for you, right, I mean you're in their

125
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: division now, So are you like give me the ball

128
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 4: Is a good way to put it.

129
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I I like the I like the chips,

130
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 6: I like the you know this kind of stuff, the smoke,

131
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 6: if you will, so I, uh yeah, I'm looking forward

132
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 6: to it.

133
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 2: Okay, good, you better say that answer, you better say yes. Yeah.

134
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,719

Speaker 5: I believe so. I believe so.

136
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 6: So it'll it'll be fun getting to throw some pretty

137
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 6: meaningful innings against against everybody.

138
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 4: How close are close? Were you just starting? How close

Speaker 4: were you just starting? Like?

140
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 7: Is that like the off season we heard some rumblings

141
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 7: about that. Did teams say nah, no, no, we want you,

142
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 7: we want you in the back end?

143
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

144
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: No.

145
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 6: It was pretty much on a on a team the

146
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 6: team basis, you know, depending on what their what their

147
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 6: you know, roster look makeup look like, you know, what

148
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 6: their needs were at the time, and uh so Yeah,

149
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 6: that was that was real. Didn't didn't necessarily come from

150
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 6: me like I didn't. I didn't, you know, put that

151
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 6: out there that I wanted to start or anything. But

152
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 6: you know, I guess with the with the recent track

153
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 6: record of some of the guys that have switched back over,

154
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 6: it was an.

155
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 5: Interesting storyline, and.

156
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 6: You know, I was, I mean, I'm confident that I

157
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 6: can do whatever whatever is needed, so uh, you know,

158
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 6: it would be a it would be a fun challenge

159
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 6: to get back in another shot at that.

160
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 5: But at the same time, I'm I'm happy, you know that.

161
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 6: You know, I found something that I'm pretty good at

162
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 6: and I enjoy pitching at the back end.

163
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: All right, what's your skit gonna be? What's your skit

164
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: gonna be? Is closer?

165
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,239
Speaker 5: Like like the video?

166
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, like the video the music. You know, they turn

167
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: the lights and they make them flash. Are they gonna

168
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: make that bird come out and they let's go?

169
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 5: I don't know if they're gonna don't think they're gonna

170
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 5: do that.

171
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 6: I think I think there's something pretty cool in the

172
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 6: works though, you know, something maybe maybe Marvel themed.

173
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 5: Or something like that.

174
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: You're a big Marvel guy.

175
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 5: Then I like it and I think.

176
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 6: The Blue Jays have a pretty good relationship with with Marvel,

177
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 6: so uh, we'll see how.

178
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 5: It turns out. The song always the same, It's it's

179
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 5: a live by k Cuddy.

180
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I.

181
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 5: Don't really change that one kind of a yeah, that's the.

182
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: One that can can the crowd, like I think. So, okay,

183
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: the Canadians do they know that song because sometimes they're

184
00:07:55,200 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: a little behind. Okay, I'm just kidding. I mean, look

185
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: at Crawts, he played there for years, like how behind

186
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 2: he is sometimes.

187
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 7: The Six the six likes the likes Drake, So I mean,

188
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 7: I'm not I'm not saying you have to switch it,

189
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 7: but like you can be there for three years either way.

190
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 7: But Drake, anytime Drake puts on the jersey, they don't

191
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 7: win the championship. So there's also that.

192
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe we can keep that part out, just not

193
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 5: the jersey on.

194
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: You know, well, we'll keep that out.

195
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 7: How much how much did you dominate Harper in those

196
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 7: live at bats that we all heard about because I

197
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 7: always talk about live abs and like who talks the

198
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 7: most smack? I know he was coming back and rehab,

199
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 7: I know, but essentially that's why you made the team. Essentially,

200
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 7: you were grinding with the Iron Pigs and you dominated

201
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 7: Harper And how much did you hold that over him

202
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 7: rest of the season and the rest of the rest.

203
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 4: Of the two years.

204
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 6: Honestly, I try not to bring it up. He brings

205
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 6: it up a lot. Yeah, it was one of those things. Yeah,

206
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 6: I mean I had a really good day on the

207
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 6: possible day to have that day, and uh, it was

208
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 6: one of those things where it was, like I've said it,

209
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 6: I've been on record saying it before that I kind

210
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 6: of treated it like it was the World Series that day,

211
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 6: and I knew that, you know, my numbers weren't great

212
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 6: in Triple A at that time, and I needed to

213
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 6: do something to kind of, you know, put some attention

214
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 6: on me and and get me a chance. So you know,

215
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 6: I took the opportunity around with it, and I got

216
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 6: him pretty good that day. It was, uh I got

217
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 6: I had like five at bats against them, and I

218
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 6: punched him out four times.

219
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: So did he get a cut? Did he get a cut? Yeah?

220
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 5: He hit a grand ball a second No no.

221
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: No, did he get a cut of your new contract?

222
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:41,079
Speaker 5: Because uh no, no he didn't.

223
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: The friendships there, Okay, good are you gonna do like

224
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: Soto didn't. But if you buy him like a car,

225
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 2: he goes. I mean not that he needs the money,

226
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 2: right right. You can buy him like one of those

227
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: little you can buy him a go cart. I mean

228
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: they're just like your golf car. They're just right down

229
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: the street.

230
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 5: And see, I probably do him something a little special.

231
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: Thousand dollars gift card to Best Buy. Crat slows when

232
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 2: guys give him that.

233
00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 4: There you go.

234
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 5: Whatever your heart desires with that one.

235
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: That's right. You may pick your own Dick Sporting Goods, Yes,

236
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 2: there you go. Make bake. Bryce walk into Dick Sporting Goods.

237
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: He's got the under armouror ole thing on the side

238
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 2: of the wall, and Brice can just be standing there

239
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: looking around, like I wonder what I should get here.

240
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: Maybe if he's out there he's trying out the bats.

241
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: But you know, in the middle of the store and

242
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: someone walks by and like, hey, I think that might

243
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 2: be Bryce Harper. It would be a great commercial.

244
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 4: All right.

245
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: So you're you're more of a four pitch kind of guy, right,

246
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: You're not really the traditional Usually closers are like a

247
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: fastball slide or fastball change up. How do you keep

248
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: them sharp at a bullpen.

249
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think just being diligent with with you know,

250
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 6: pregame throws and uh, you know, anytime, you know, maybe

251
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 6: you have the opportunity to get on the mound for

252
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 6: a side session because you haven't thrown a couple of days.

253
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 6: You know, I think just being diligent with that kind

254
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 6: of work and getting the most out of your catch play.

255
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 5: And you know, I think for the most part.

256
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 6: It's uh, you know, I'm out there just really trying

257
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 6: to feel one thing, and that's my hand and where

258
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 6: my hand's at in space.

259
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 5: And you know, usually if I if.

260
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 6: I lock into that and I'm I'm locked in with

261
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 6: with uh you know, where my hand's at, then everything

262
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 6: kind of takes care of itself.

263
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's one for me.

264
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 7: The facility, Now, when you were drafted, you saw the

265
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 7: old facility. They made that facility when I was drafted

266
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 7: in two and then in twenty when I quit, that's

267
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 7: when they built this thing. What is the coolest thing

268
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 7: because I've heard from some of the trainers.

269
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 4: You know, Voon Chung Voon's in there.

270
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 7: Voon was my first trainer, so you have a lot

271
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 7: of the same guys Posey's in there. What's the coolest

272
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 7: thing that you've never seen in any of your trips?

273
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: Oh?

274
00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 6: Man, shoot, I'm this whole place is is spectacular. I

275
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 6: mean it's it's it's a it's a big league stadium

276
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 6: set up in a in a spring training kind of venue,

277
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 6: but it's.

278
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 5: I think the cool thing for me is.

279
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 6: Seeing the the recovery type stuff really make its way

280
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 6: into the clubhouse. Uh, and that start to get taken

281
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 6: a lot more serious because I think that was a

282
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 6: big thing for me when I've turned the corner in

283
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 6: my in my career getting healthier and able to stay

284
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 6: on the field and perform, you know, at the highest level.

285
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 6: I think, you know, that was something earlier in my

286
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 6: career that that you know, that.

287
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 5: Wasn't necessarily focal point.

288
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 6: And you know, I think it's really good for for

289
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 6: young guys to learn how to to keep themselves on

290
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 6: the field and to to prolong their careers and to

291
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 6: stay on the fields as long as possible, because it's

292
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 6: really hard to play this game for you know, one year,

293
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 6: let alone ten.

294
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 5: So uh, you know, you just I like to see

295
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 5: that that type of stuff.

296
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 6: Really, you know, make its way into the into the

297
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 6: spotlight and you know, help guys, you know, have a

298
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 6: longer career.

299
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 2: What's you like having to take a bus though to

300
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: the park because you guys do everything here and then

301
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: you have to take a bus to the stadium. Is

302
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: that strange sometimes? And you guys have the double decker bus.

303
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: Are you up top or you a bottom bunky bottom bunk?

304
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 6: Keep it simple, okay, okay, uh no, it's it's it's

305
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 6: a little weird having to go over, you know, to

306
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 6: take the trip over to.

307
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 2: To your home ballpark.

308
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 5: To the home ball park.

309
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a little weird, but it is only, you know,

310
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 6: a seven minute drive, so it's it's not too much

311
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 6: of a wrench in your day.

312
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 5: But yeah, it's a little different from what you're normally

313
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 5: used to.

314
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 7: One of the traditions, they used to have a huge

315
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 7: ball that was kind of like a dry e race

316
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 7: ball that was like all over the wall and people

317
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 7: would sign it when they made the big lees with

318
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 7: the Jas. Do they still have that and will you

319
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 7: sign it because technically you were draft It was only

320
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 7: for people who were drafted by the Jays and made

321
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 7: the big leaes with the Jays. So does this count

322
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 7: because if it does, I still haven't signed it, even

323
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 7: though it didn't work out the way that it was

324
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 7: supposed to work out.

325
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: I think so.

326
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 6: I don't know if they still have the exact same ball,

327
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 6: but I think they have a list up on the

328
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 6: wall now. It's way more modern and fancy, just like

329
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 6: everything around here. But yeah, they have the list, and

330
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 6: I'll have to take a look if I'm on there.

331
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 6: But technically homegrown.

332
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 4: So technically that's what I'm saying.

333
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 2: Technically, Hey Scott, by the way, I have to wish

334
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,880

Speaker 3: Great to see you, man.

345
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if I can sit next to this

346
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: man his name who is named after one of the

347
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: all time evil most evil persons in the world, most

348
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: evil peoples in the world. Yes, I am a Florida guy.

349
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: So he's named after Bobby Bowden. So when you guys

350
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: are questioning how to say his name and I found

351
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: out he was from Tallahassee, I was like, oh, I

352
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 2: know exactly who he was named for. So I'm glad

353
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: that they named the stadium Ronzick Field at Tallahassee. So

354
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: thank you for that, mister Bowden. But yeah, so before

355
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: we digging, what did you think about what Travis Hunter?

356
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: Because he was committed to Florida State until he wasn't

357
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: committed to Florida State, Right, that's so, did you see

358
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 2: what Travis Hunter said about him being he said, so

359
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: he said what he does in football is harder than

360
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: what O'tani does in baseball. That's a tough that's a

361
00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: tough take, right, I mean, I think that's one of

362
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: the mistakes I've ever heard. Yeah, I can't be said,

363
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: well because Dotani also plays I mean, yes, way harder.

364
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: He plays way harder, and he does it every day.

365
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: That's to me is the difference. Travis hundred does it

366
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 2: once a week. Yeah, you play one hundred snaps Otani

367
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: throws a hundred pitches, gets five at bats one hundred

368
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 2: and sixty days a year, and then he's got a pitch. Yeah, exactly. Crazy.

369
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: So imagine if you had to pitch five to six, seven,

370
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 2: eight innings and then all of a sudden, by the way,

371
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: you're hitting the next four days, and you're gonna pitch

372
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 2: it in. Yeah, yeah, you're scouting. Yeah right? How hard?

373
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: How hard would that be? I don't understand it. Could

374
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: you hit? No? Okay, so that's what.

375
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 3: You and not a nine hitter either.

376
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 4: Age.

377
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 3: I want to make sure this part he's emphasized to

378
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 3: he was a top three hitter in the sport last year,

379
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 3: being asked to carry the team on his back at

380
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: times during the season.

381
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: Rehaving right, he did really happy Scott fifty fifty physically?

382
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: How you do that? But you haven't had TJ yet.

383
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: I mean, okay, no, I come, sorry.

384
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 3: Sorry, screw you.

385
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 2: No. I hope, listen, I hope he'd be one of

386
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: the few that doesn't. I really hope all right that

387
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: you don't. But I'm just we had I'll spoil it.

388
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: We had Jeff Hobman in here, and he'll run the

389
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: interview in a little bit, but his scar. He showed

390
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: his scar. It's nasty. And I was like, people that

391
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 2: think TJ is easy to come back from, show your

392
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 2: arm and the whole thing was like itok, like a

393
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: shark bite.

394
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: Nowadays it's like, you know, it's not a big deal,

395
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: but it's still a big deal.

396
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 2: Guys.

397
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: Just being out for that long and being away from

398
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: the team, it's it's tough.

399
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 2: Mentally, I guarantee it, but I don't know. I wouldn't

400
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 2: want to go through it. I just get bored. I

401
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 2: didn't know that. I know, I know the holy crap

402
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 2: at all my teammates because I wouldn't know what to

403
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 2: do because I mean, I can't play and I'm sitting

404
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: there with the little thing on my brace, you know,

405
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: my arm, the big brace on my arm, and I'm like, hey, guys,

406
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: look at my brace. I can move it one more degree. Today,

407
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 2: you guys.

408
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: Noticed anything exactly?

409
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 7: Hey, what what kind of conversations did you have to

410
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 7: have with the org and schneids to be able to

411
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 7: get into rotation? Because now you've solidified it. I mean,

412
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 7: you're just you don't give up a hit before the

413
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 7: eight before the ninth inning, so you're just like ah

414
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 7: mine as well. What kind of what kind of conversations

415
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 7: did you have to have or was it like I'll

416
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 7: just bide my time, pitch as good as I can

417
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 7: and not really say anything.

418
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 2: It was a little bit of both, but.

419
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: I definitely kind of was vocal with it, you know,

420
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: knowing that just my personality and how I want to

421
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: get into a groove, I knew that starting would be

422
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: more of my speed. And you know, I told them, obviously,

423
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: I want to do whatever. I want the team to win,

424
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: I want to get established, but with I just I

425
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: told them that I knew I'm going to start at

426
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: some point in my career and I want to do

427
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: it here.

428
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: And I just want to kind of.

429
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: Be in the role that I'm been in through the

430
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: minor leagues and I'm most comfortable with. And you know,

431
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: the trust just slowly started tinkering, and now it's at

432
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: the point where they're telling me that, you know, take

433
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: the screen training, get my work in and get ready

434
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: for the season.

435
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a long one.

436
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 7: What did they say? I mean, we know you what

437
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 7: you wanted, but what did they say? Because when AJ

438
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 7: played and when I played, if you went to like

439
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 7: front office or managers, and you were like, hey, I

440
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 7: want to do this, they'd be like, piss off, we'll

441
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 7: take care of it.

442
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 4: You just go out and play.

443
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 7: How did they respond to you when you said, look,

444
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 7: I'm gonna pitch. I'm going to start one day for

445
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 7: this organization, and then you're not going to take me

446
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 7: out of it.

447
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 2: It wasn't I wasn't trying to step on it.

448
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: In toes with that, I said that I will be

449
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: whatever role as long as I as long as they

450
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: want me to, but as long as I.

451
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 2: I'll do any role as long as I get to start.

452
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: I told them like, I'm open to whatever.

453
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: But I just told them basically like, I know I'm

454
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: going to start in my career.

455
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's gonna be here or wherever.

456
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: But I just know in my heart, and I'm like

457
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: and my body, I know that I'm a starter at

458
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: the end of this. And I just told them that's

459
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,199
Speaker 1: just like where my goal is. I guess I was

460
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 1: just opened with my goals. And then they listened to

461
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: me and eat screen training. They gave me an option.

462
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: I mean, they gave me a shot to do it,

463
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: and it's just tooking time, but I'm just grateful for

464
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: the time they gave me, and I thank them all

465
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: the time forgive me the opportunity.

466
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: Okay, last year, two no hitters into the night. We're

467
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: you nervous? First of all? What happened? Like we got

468
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,959
Speaker 2: to get one here right eventually? So were you nervous

469
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: the first one? Were you nervous? The second one? Is

470
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: there any part of your brain that started going like, man,

471
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 2: I might actually get the no hitter because I've been

472
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: on the other end of catching no hitters, but I've

473
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: never been in the mind of a picture as the

474
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 2: no hitters.

475
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: The second one, I was thinking more about it. I

476
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: was like, all right, this is actually the it's actually

477
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: the one. The remember who gave up a hit? Who

478
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: gave up a hit? Who was it? Lin door got

479
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: me the second time, But the first one was the award.

480
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: But the first one, like, you know, I just felt

481
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: like I had a I just was grooving. It wasn't

482
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: like a good flow. I didn't overthink it. I mean,

483
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: I just knew that my pitches were up there. But

484
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: I just kept telling myself, don't change, keep doing the

485
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: same thing, keep attacking. But and then I went out

486
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: there for the ninth and that I mean, the crowd

487
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: was going nuts and I just started feeling like Jello

488
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: out there. But the second one is like, I was

489
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: more dialogue in my mind, Like I kind of felt

490
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: more real because I've been through It's a couple of

491
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: starts before that and the same exact thing happened. But

492
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: it's just crazy that the guys are it was. It

493
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: was something to laugh about, but it was frustrating at

494
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: the time, but I knew that like games like that,

495
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: it's you gotta just smile by him no matter what.

496
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: But it was crazy.

497
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 7: What off season story or narrative did you follow the

498
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 7: most and you thought was the most exciting for the

499
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 7: Jase in the sense of, okay, could they get Rokie?

500
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 7: Is Gladdie going to re sign?

501
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 4: Whoa?

502
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 7: I'm hearing Pete stuff that you followed the most or

503
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 7: was most exciting whichever.

504
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 2: I mean.

505
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: I heard Santander like early and that was my like,

506
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: my favorite pick I thought for us to get and

507
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 1: it's funny that was the one we got. But just

508
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: facing him last year, like even screen training, he's always

509
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: given the Blue Jays a hard time. I like the

510
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: way he plays and power from the left side. It's

511
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 1: rare in the game. And obviously, you know if Lattie

512
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: is a big one, and that's gonna be always a

513
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: talk this season, but it's you know, we have this

514
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: whole year for him and it's gonna be his decision

515
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: and it'll be it'll be cool to watch. The big

516
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: one was Anthony. For me, it's not a distraction now.

517
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: The way he goes about his business and stuff is

518
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: it's never gonna be about him. And you know, I

519
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: could I can even tell the minute he walked in

520
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: the building. I mean, if you would have told me

521
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: that he signed or not, I wouldn't know, It'll tell.

522
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: It was seamless.

523
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: And the way he is in the dugout during the

524
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: games right now, he's all about the team.

525
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 2: It's it's like he does a really good job of.

526
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: I guess harnessing that and separating all that off the

527
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: field type stuff out of your bow Am I picking one?

528
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't say both. I'm just kidding, because the

529
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 2: look on your face named after Bobby Bowen, He's got

530
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 2: to get some tough questions, Okay, So the look on

531
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 2: his face was priceless. So he's like I don't know me. Okay,

532
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 2: So you're a big yoga guy, right, big yoga. I

533
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 2: mean you have no shoes on, so you're obviously trying

534
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 2: to ground yourself. I hope you don't step on one

535
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 2: of these wires and electric l Tell me about that.

536
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 2: Tell me about that. Does that help you in your starts?

537
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: Because you meditate, right, you do a lot of things.

538
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 2: I see you have the ring on. How does that

539
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 2: help you not only your starts, but just in life. Yeah,

540
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 2: I just I just realized, I guess growing up and

541
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 2: going through.

542
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: And getting like I don't know, I just realized there

543
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: was I just went down rabbit holes when I was

544
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: not as good as a player as other guys around me.

545
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: So I just tried to research a lot about the

546
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: mind and flow and the body mind body connection and

547
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 1: how to put that all together. And then you know,

548
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: I was like in lower levels and I would have

549
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: roller coaster starts. I would either strike out ten or

550
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: I would give up ten hits, and it was like

551
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: an emotional So I just did some deep diving and

552
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: try to figure out how to be more even keel

553
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: and figure out how to be more present. And it

554
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: just kept coming back to the breath and kept coming

555
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: back to people talking about like the mind body connection

556
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: and how to how to become more of a flow state,

557
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: and yoga's with a like really ties into that, and

558
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: then meditation ties into that. How to harness guys around base,

559
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: second and third two outs, how to not worry about that.

560
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 2: And it's so much easier said than done.

561
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: So I think just working on that stuff off the

562
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: field has helped me tremendous for me to toe the

563
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: rubber with guys on and know that it's about this

564
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: pitch and it just helps me kind of get into

565
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: their groove.

566
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: As the most inflexible person on the planet. I used

567
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: to do yoga and it would. I'm sure your yoga's

568
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 2: much sometimes much smoother than mine would.

569
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 1: The body is one, but the mind is a whole

570
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: other component that we don't even think about when we

571
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: think about yoga. Some people just think about it's about stretching,

572
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: but I try to think of it about eighty percent

573
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: of it's more mental than the body.

574
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 2: I think.

575
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 1: If you build like they say, if you build a

576
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: strong mind, the body will follow. So I just try

577
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: to really think about that more.

578
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 3: Mad And I have a question for you, so yoga's

579
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: about controlling your breath or that's part of it. Right,

580
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 3: Did you find any solace in the last couple months

581
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 3: of the season and being able to control your schedule more? Right,

582
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 3: because you go from reliever. You never know when you're

583
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 3: going to be used. You have to be ready at

584
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 3: all times. You can really set yourself for that one

585
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 3: big day that you're about to have and just kind

586
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 3: of leading also into what changed for you as a starter.

587
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 3: It's not like you hadn't done it before, but did

588
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 3: you feel like you learned something about yourself that enabled

589
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 3: you to consistently take down hitters better than ever in

590
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 3: that roll down the stretch.

591
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a big build up with starting, and that

592
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: whole day of you get to the park and there's

593
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 1: it's just a slow build up. It's not the same

594
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: in the bullpen where it's kind of sitting around and

595
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden.

596
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 2: Your name is called.

597
00:27:54,760 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: But having that whole day to prepare and let that

598
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: slow burn kind of go until the game time, it's

599
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: my favorite part. Yeah, and it's about game planning and

600
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: visualization is big for me. So I'm just going through

601
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: the lineup and just slowly figuring out how to navigate

602
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: that and use my arsenal to the best I can.

603
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: That's been fun for me is just.

604
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: Figuring out how to optimize my arsenal and kind of

605
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: game plan because it's more of like a checker's I mean,

606
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: more of a chest for me than that because a

607
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: lot of guys can just kind of blow heaters by guys,

608
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna have to be more crafty and.

609
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 2: Kind of use all my pitches.

610
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: So it's it's kind of fun for me to game

611
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: plan and figure out what's best for me.

612
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 2: I like it. I like it. By the way, we're

613
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: gonna show your shirt you have on You were born

614
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,080

618
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 2: born even when they won those two World Series. I

619
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,800

Speaker 1: There's great, that's a chops in Toronto, So I try

621

00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: I just try to wear stuff like this because.

623
