1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: He'll throw a fake one over your head way up,

2
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: not even near me.

3
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: But luckily I didn't have to face him when he was,

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 2: you know, still playing like my oldest brother.

5
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: Did.

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 3: Great to have Cody Clements joining us right now from

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 3: the Minnesota Twins.

8
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 4: Cody, thanks for joining us. I know you'll like this.

9
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 3: Let's just start by talking about your team for a moment.

10
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 3: So you joined this team what about a month ago,

11
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 3: and look pretty damn good since you joined the party.

12
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 4: How you doing been good?

13
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on guys.

14
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course. So so what do you think changed?

15
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 3: I mean, and what did you hear about before you

16
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 3: joined the club that wasn't going right that had suddenly

17
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 3: turned around?

18
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

19
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: I mean all through spring training with Philadelphia. You know,

20
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: I wasn't stupid to it. I knew what the roster

21
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: construction constructed looked. It looked like, so I knew there

22
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: were so many left handed bats. I didn't really know

23
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: it was in store. I had a great spring and

24
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 2: they obviously kept me on on the team, and then

25
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: it kind of fell into the first couple of weeks,

26
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: you know, not getting any time to play. They did

27
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: tell me that it was gonna be hard to find

28
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: playing time for me, and so I kind of just

29
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: sat back and you know, got all my work.

30
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: Done as best I could, and stayed there.

31
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: And then there in New York, I just got DFAD

32
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: after the game and they just said, look like it's

33
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: obviously we can't find any playing time for you here,

34
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: so we're gonna let you go and we hope the

35
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: best for you. And then went home, had a couple

36
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: of days in Houston, and then got the call that

37
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: I was being traded over to Minnesota. But it's been

38
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: a blessing at this point. Got some consistent playing time,

39
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: which has got you know, my rhythm and timing back

40
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: and everything. So it's just honestly, it really worked out

41
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: in my favor.

42
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 6: Cody, first of all, this has got to be the

43
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 6: Clement Show because we've had you, we've had your dad,

44
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 6: we've had your brother on so I mean, we might

45
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 6: have to rename this the Clemens Family Show because you

46
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 6: guys are by far the most represented family we've ever

47
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 6: had on the show. So that's pretty awesome to start with.

48
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 6: But then what happened. You mentioned getting DFA and getting

49
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 6: in Minnesota and you get to play all the time,

50
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 6: But what did Rocco, say when you walked into Minnesota,

51
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 6: because was there a clear path for you to get

52
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 6: playing time once you walked in, because if you look

53
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 6: at their team, they thought they were pretty set, but

54
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 6: you've come in and just kind of taken over. Yeah.

55
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: I mean, as soon as I got into Minnesota, went

56
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: into the roca's office and just told him, you know, hey,

57
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: I'm here. I play a lot of positions. I'm open

58
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: to playing and doing whatever you guys need me to do.

59
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: I did tell him that I've never really gotten the

60
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 2: opportunity to have consistent playing time in my big league

61
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 2: career so far, and he loved it. He just said,

62
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: we're excited to have you and we're looking forward to

63
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: getting you out there.

64
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: And that was really it.

65
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: There wasn't really a clear path of, hey, you're going

66
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: to play every day or nothing. He just told me,

67
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: you know, it's looking more like first and second base,

68
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: corner outfield, third base every now and then.

69
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: But focused on second base.

70
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: And I said, all right, And you know, he got

71
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: me in there, and luckily, you know, got the consistent

72
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: playing time to get back into the rhythm that I

73
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: really had in spring training.

74
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: And it's it's been great so far. Now.

75
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 5: You've mentioned it a couple of times already, the consistent

76
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 5: playing time, And I don't think people realize just how

77
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 5: valuable that is to a player to be able to

78
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 5: find that rhythm, to know that you're in there every day,

79
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 5: and to keep seeing the ball, the live pitching each time.

80
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 5: Last week or so, with all these big stats coming out,

81
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 5: is there anything else that you've been working on, anything

82
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 5: else that you've been in a change, or that you've

83
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 5: made it a point of emphasis when you're in the

84
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 5: cage before a game, is there? Because I mean, you're

85
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 5: going hot right now, So is there something that you're

86
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 5: really focused on getting ready before each game?

87
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

88
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: I mean the one drill I guess that I've implemented

89
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: to my routine was just to get.

90
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: My bottom and more direct to the ball.

91
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: That's really it got back to some high tea that

92
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: I used to do when I was younger.

93
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: That's really it in the cage.

94
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: But to be honest, it was just like getting my

95
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 2: timing back, you know, playing I don't know, I got

96
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: maybe six at bats or something like that in Philadelphia

97
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: and they were all, you know, weeks apart, So getting

98
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: on time to you know, a high, high heater or

99
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 2: ninety five plus was really the key for me to have,

100
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: you know, to be early and be able to react

101
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: to pitches.

102
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 5: You might have just answered my follow up question because

103
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 5: I like giving some of our viewers a little insight

104
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 5: onto what hitters do and how they get ready. So

105
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 5: you said you like getting your lower hand through. You're

106
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 5: working on that right now, bottom hand. Yeah, was there

107
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 5: a reason for That's how you came to it? Was

108
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 5: it someone suggested it or it said You're like, I

109
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 5: need to get to that high fastball and I'm getting

110
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 5: to drop down with it.

111
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 6: I want to punch through with it.

112
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: What was there?

113
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 4: Was there a reason for this?

114
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: Cause?

115
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Matt and Trevor, I guess the hitting coaches they

116
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: sat me down in Cleveland when I first got my

117
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: first couple starts with the team and just said, hey,

118
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: let's talk about some things.

119
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: Like they you know, pulled up a ton of stuff

120
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: and said.

121
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: Your bad angle is a little different or something like that,

122
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: and they just said, you know, suggested that I need

123
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 2: to get a little bit more direct with my bottom hand.

124
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: I mean we thought it was the top hand because

125
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 2: I am right hand dominant. But for some odd reason

126
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: my right hand wasn't getting there wasn't as direct as

127
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 2: my top hand, so that was really the only drill,

128
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: and they were the ones that suggested it.

129
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it.

130
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 5: Everything works differently for different players, so I mean you

131
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 5: could point the bat straight backwards. You can always try

132
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 5: that and just bring it forward to go.

133
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: Whatever gets you directly.

134
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 3: If you're a card collector or you'd like to get

135
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: into card collecting, may I suggest Arena Club and slab packs,

136
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: which means that you can rip the packs digitally and

137
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 3: of course get the card that you want.

138
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,679
Speaker 4: It's also the most trusted name in the game.

139
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: And I would rather rip packs these days on my

140
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 3: phone than sit next to you and have you grabbing

141
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 3: one of my physical packs if I was grabbing one.

142
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, you don't need me grabbing your packs because last

143
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 6: time you grabbed one it ended up like this card,

144
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 6: so let's not have that. And that's why Arena Club

145
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 6: is great. They send them to you in these fancy

146
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 6: protectors like the Scout Brown card that we have here,

147
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 6: and they'll come safe, they're already graded. Or you could

148
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 6: do like I do and just leave my cards in

149
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 6: the showroom and never actually see them physically. Yeah, but

150
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 6: they're safe protected, and if I want to sell them,

151
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 6: I can't.

152
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 4: Buy sell trade.

153
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,839

Speaker 6: you like the middle infield? Do you like pitching? Perhaps?

161
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say I like playing second base the most.

162
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm in the game. You know, you

163
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: got to do a lot of stuff up the middle.

164
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: But honestly, I just like being out on the field.

165
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: Doesn't really matter what position. I just like being in

166
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: the lineup. But yeah, I would say second base is

167
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: probably the most fun for me.

168
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 6: What about catching? What about catching?

169
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: You tried that when y'all I haven't caught the Orioles

170
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: did want to draft me as a catcher in twenty eighteen,

171
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: which is an odd odd thing. Asked if they can

172
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: draft me as a catcher, and I was like, I've

173
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 2: never caught before.

174
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: So turned that.

175
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: Home down and you still haven't, right, I still haven't

176
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: caught now, Okay, it takes.

177
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 6: It takes. It takes real men to get back there. Yeah,

178
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 6: anyone can play. Anyone can play second base. Okay, anyone

179
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 6: second base?

180
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: I respect it.

181
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 4: You respected.

182
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 5: He's a prime candidate for all nine positions in the game.

183
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: It's true.

184
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: I've this year when we were in Baltimore. I think

185
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: I started at first, moved a second, moved to right,

186
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: and then went back to second. And I'll tell you what,

187
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: I've never done that before.

188
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 4: That is some serious versatility.

189
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 3: And hey, we know the Twins like to platoon, so

190
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: it helps to have someone like that who can bounce

191
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: around as they're doing that throughout the game. Question here,

192
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 3: some fans were asking about bat speed. So the bat

193
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 3: speed I think is up for you this year. Is

194
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 3: that's something that you look at pay attention to. And

195
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 3: we had a conversation about this last week with you

196
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 3: know Sarrus who was on our show as a guest,

197
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 3: and he said, you know, some front offices are starting

198
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 3: to evaluate young prospects based on a number and kind

199
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: of setting a delineation of Okay, if they're not, you know,

200
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: showing signs that they can get to whatever the number was, seventy,

201
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: then we're not going to consider them in the same way.

202
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 3: So wanted to get your thoughts if that was something

203
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 3: that you talked about.

204
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny you asked that.

205
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: I've had a couple of reporters ask me about it,

206
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: and honestly, it's something that I've never looked at at all.

207
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: So they said that my bat speed was up a tick.

208
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: And they were asking me if I worked on any

209
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: drills or anything to improve there, And to be honest

210
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: with you, I've never I know, I don't know. I

211
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: don't know the answer to that.

212
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 6: Well, Cody, I gotta ask this your dad. Obviously everyone

213
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 6: knows your dad, Roger and Rocket. Hey, your dad threw

214
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 6: up me more than one time. Has he ever thrown

215
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 6: at you when you would take bp off them, like say,

216
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 6: you take them deep or something, gets some langery and

217
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 6: might run one up in here?

218
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: Well not really, I mean he'll he'll throw a fake

219
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: one over your head way up not even near me.

220
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: But luckily I didn't have to face him when he was,

221
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: you know, still playing like my oldest brother did back

222
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: in like five or whatever. But no, he's never he's

223
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 2: never drilled me before, but I'm sure he's thought about it.

224
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, good, that's good. That's good. At least

225
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 6: we know he draws the line somewhere.

226
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: Right, so right, yeah, exactly.

227
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 6: That's okay, Yeah, that's all. But I mean it's got

228
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 6: to be cool though, right. Your dad will take you

229
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 6: down there and throw BP to you. And he's around

230
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 6: and obviously he knows baseball as good as anyone, as

231
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 6: well as anyone. I mean, does he like baseball, moar?

232
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 6: Or does he like golf?

233
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: Wur now?

234
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 6: Because I see him a lot on golf cours.

235
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: That's a good that's a good question. I think it's

236
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 2: probably fifty to fifty. He gets out on the course

237
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 2: a ton now, and it is, like you said, it's

238
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: pretty cool. You know, he's sixty two years old and

239
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 2: he uh there, he is right there. Sorry, And he

240
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: still throws batting practice. I mean he does his cuugh

241
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: work every day and his shoulder works still. I think

242
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: it's just ingrained in him and he continues to work

243
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 2: out and it's just seared into his mind.

244
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 6: Wh wha wait wait, did you say he still does

245
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 6: his cuff stuff like he does the he does all

246
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 6: of like these and like the bands and all that stuff.

247
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 6: It's sixty two years old.

248
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he does still work everything.

249
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 6: Tell him next time I see him on the golf course,

250
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 6: I'm gonna wear him out and be like, dude, you

251
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 6: played for thirty two years, like it's time to let

252
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 6: him go.

253
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, trust me, he needs he needs, he needs to,

254
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: but it's just seared into that brain of his.

255
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: I swear.

256
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 4: How involved does he are you talking after every game?

257
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: Are you telling him don't tell me too much about

258
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 3: my swing since I'm a better hitter than you, even

259
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: though you're a legendary pitcher.

260
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's involved. I know he's watching the

261
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 1: games for sure. It's nice he comes and travels and

262
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: comes to watch me play every so often. But yeah,

263
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: if there's anything about the swing, I don't let him

264
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: get deep into conversation there. If we want to talk

265
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: about bunting, I'm all for it because I know he

266
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: tries to square around a ton back in his day.

267
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I wouldn't want to hear what he has

268
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 5: to say about your swing in terms of just like

269
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 5: the fundamentals of it. But does he text you, Like,

270
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 5: let's say he notices something that he would pick up

271
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 5: on a batter and how he would attack you. Then

272
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 5: is he that kind of advice that he would give you.

273
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 5: Then he's like, I was, you're opening the middle. I'm

274
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 5: going to come in on you if you can stay

275
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 5: over the middle.

276
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, he will.

277
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 2: He will look at how the picture attacks hitters, and

278
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: and that's kind of how he depicts on you know,

279
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: obviously a picture. If he sees somebody diving or whatnot,

280
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: they're going to come in or vice versas. So yeah,

281
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: he he kind of will watch my swing and see,

282
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: you know, hey you're kind of diving out or whatnot.

283
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: You're exactly right.

284
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 6: Hey, you guys are in Tampa, right, you guys are

285
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 6: in Tampa. How's this? How's the field? How's this? How's

286
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 6: the how's the minor league? Major league ballpark?

287
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: The conditions are are fine. I think it's it's it's

288
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: like the field surface is good. It is weird playing,

289
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: it's just like a weird vibe. And then the only

290
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: thing that's tough is like the twilight and the lights

291
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: being a little bit lower than a typical big league stadium.

292
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: But other than that, the surface and everything plays play

293
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: is fine?

294
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 6: Is it better than Sacramento?

295
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: I haven't been there yet. I go, I thought you

296
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: got it.

297
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 6: I thought you went there. You didn't go there with

298
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 6: Philly this year. Didn't they already go?

299
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 2: They they just played them. I think that we sorry, yeah,

300
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: but we go. We go in a few days here,

301
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 2: So I'll let you know.

302
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 6: We're gonna have to check back with you because they're

303
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 6: starting to complain a little bit out there in old

304
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 6: Sacramento that this place isn't the greatest place we thought

305
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 6: it was going to be.

306
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, I've been seeing comments about it. Has there

307
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: been any comments about Steinberger? Has anyone said anything?

308
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 6: No, No, Steinburg is better because listen, it's the Yankees.

309
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 6: At the end of the day, the Yankees. They have

310
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 6: everything there. So it's not like, you know, the Yankees

311
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 6: are gonna go cheap and say, oh, we're cheaping out

312
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 6: on something. The Yankees have everything. The Raiser are just like,

313
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 6: we'll just move in and take it over.

314
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, No, it's it's nice. I mean they've got
