1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to have to work a job in

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: the next all seasons. So it really just kind of

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: fuels you to be like, you know, I'm more work

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: harder every day and try to achieve the goal of

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: being in the big leagues.

6
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he said.

7
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 3: That's what he said.

8
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 2: That's what he said.

9
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 4: That's what he said.

10
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 5: However, they're finding that the benefits of getting that momentum

11
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 5: going in the bat far do not outweigh the hitting

12
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 5: it on the barrel at all. And guys like this

13
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 5: is Jazz Chisholm, another guy's Anthony Bolpi, and another guy

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 5: is Austin Wells, all using this bat because they have

15
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 5: a tendency to hit the ball closer to themselves a lot.

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 5: They're being jammed, guys are throwing it in on them

17
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 5: and they're hitting really soft pop ups or they're hitting

18
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 5: ground balls. That's the biggest reason, frankly, like the difference

19
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 5: between forcing someone to hit off the end all the

20
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 5: time or hit it closer to your hands. When you're

21
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 5: closer to your hands, it's on the ground a lot

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 5: more than it is when it's on the end, and

23
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 5: you don't want to hit the ball on the ground.

24
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 5: All the time like that is not what you want.

25
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 5: But even if you hit it hard, that's the one

26
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 5: thing that really negates hitting the ball hard is hitting

27
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 5: it on the ground. So we're trying to get the

28
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 5: ball in line driver higher. Obviously, home runs. It's Yankee Stadium,

29
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 5: it's built for home runs. All this kind of makes sense,

30
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 5: so they moved this barrel.

31
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 4: Really well done by Trevor. It's a great show. It's

32
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 4: May Day. It is not easy to carry a show

33
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 4: on your own, and Trevor does it really well. You

34
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 4: can catch the first hour every Monday on the foul

35
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 4: Territory YouTube channel. In an hour or two on Trevor

36
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 4: May's YouTube channel, the show is live. You can ask questions.

37
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 4: He's super interested. Trevor's really smart and gives you that

38
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 4: picture take so very smart. Yes he is. I'll give

39
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 4: you one more picture take on the torpedo bats before

40
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 4: Todd Father weighs in. Matt Strom tweeted yesterday we might

41
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 4: get him on the show this week too, but he said,

42
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: let them use whatever bat they Want's just allow pitchers

43
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 4: to use whatever hitters have in the on deck circle

44
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 4: and not check us like we are criminals. Every time

45
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 4: we walk on or off the field. I'm just a pitcher,

46
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 4: but I'm assuming better grip. Better grip helps to swing harder.

47
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 6: I understand what he's saying, but I would say better

48
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 6: grip helps you to stay on the bat. Yeah, I

49
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 6: don't have anything wrong with what he's saying.

50
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 2: Here.

51
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 6: Let the pictures do whatever they want, which is fine,

52
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 6: but there's there's gotta be you know, if they have

53
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 6: tack on the ball, like they can manipulate exactly where

54
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 6: the ball goes. I think this is coming from a

55
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 6: little frustration over the bats.

56
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: I don't know.

57
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 6: I just don't understand people use it. Your Carlos Stanton

58
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 6: used it in the playoffs last year. Like there's nobody

59
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 6: said anything about it, Like I don't nobody knew that.

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 6: Nobody knew either. But at the same time we're making

61
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 6: this big deal. It's legal of what they're doing each team.

62
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 6: I'm not your point of the end, but every team

63
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 6: and player that's using this bat, it's legal. It's very legal.

64
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 6: And are they hitting home runs because of it? Maybe

65
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 6: it's helping them hit it a little better. Yeah, so

66
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 6: they don't get Jim. But at the same time, pitchers

67
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 6: are getting better and better each year, so you know,

68
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 6: why not try and you know, different bat or do

69
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 6: different stamps. There's something to try and help them out

70
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 6: as well. I think this is coming from frustration, but

71
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 6: I don't have a problem with what he's saying. I

72
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 6: just think, you know, maybe assuming if you have better

73
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 6: grip for me. Better grip for me was so I

74
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 6: could hold on to the bat. That doesn't mean I'm

75
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 6: gonna swing.

76
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, well sometimes your bat went flying, and then so

77
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 4: with the baseball, which is fine. But you know the

78
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 4: Dodgers tweet we sent out yesterday from the broadcast they

79
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 4: talked about it is literally they're all ordering them, so

80
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 4: our tweets head as if they weren't good enough. The

81
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 4: Dodgers are about to get their shipment of torpedo bats.

82
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 4: This isn't a Yankees thing like we've talked about. Any

83
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: player can have one. It's not like the Yankees have

84
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 4: some proprietary info or their own bat company. Every player

85
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 4: is gonna have the opportunity to use these bats. And

86
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 4: did you like the part that Trevor said to help

87
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: explain how this could change things. Krats is not getting

88
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: jammed as much leading to those ground ball blah. That's

89
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: not as fun to watch. I'm like, cool, more fly

90
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 4: balls leads to more home runs, so we might see that.

91
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess no, it's not gonna change. I wish

92
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: I had, I wish I had all the different kinds. Obviously.

93
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,839
Speaker 2: You see a bunch of different bats hanging behind me.

94
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: There's so many differences in the bats. This is just

95
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: another difference. It's just getting super blown out of proportion. Look,

96
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 2: you can see like, okay, you can see right here

97
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: Brandon Lao. Then we have Eric Hosmer, Then we have

98
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: Christian Yelich. Then we have John Carlos Stanton. Then we

99
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: have the Todd Vava. Like, all these bats are completely different.

100
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: The barrel is a lot longer, the barrel is shorter,

101
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: it's a skinnier barrel over here with Yelly. It's like

102
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: there's so many there's so many different things that are changed.

103
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: It's not like if you're not trying somebody else's bat,

104
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: you're probably an All Star or an MVP. And judges

105
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: Judge's situation like I'm picking Todd's tooth pick up, and

106
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm gonna try it out. I'm gonna try

107
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: it out, even though he's a tiny guy. You know

108
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: he's not using the biggest bat in the world.

109
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 6: Look at the length behind you. I got the longest.

110
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 6: I got the longest length. Okay, you talk about length.

111
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: Wait, what is this is? The baseball says thirty five?

112
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 6: Right, that's a thirty five inch bat.

113
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 2: Take it off.

114
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 6: Take it off.

115
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 2: You can go up to forty I'm up to forty two.

116
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: So you did Why didn't you do it?

117
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 6: Because I'm not baby Ruth? All right, I'm not that strong.

118
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not that strong. Exactly what I said.

119
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 6: They're blowing You're right, they're blown. They're blown it up.

120
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 6: They're blowing this thing up. I just think, honestly, it's

121
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 6: it's not cheating. It's it's a different variation of a

122
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 6: baseball bat. I thirteens different than two seventy ones and

123
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 6: P seventy two's ce two forty threes. Some people use

124
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 6: smaller bats, some people use longer bats, different variations. It

125
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 6: is getting blown up. It's a pretty cool thing that

126
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 6: they got going on. They made the barrel bigger Barry Bonds.

127
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 6: What do you use a thirty two inch bat? But

128
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 6: his barrel was monstrous. Nobody said anything about that.

129
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 4: Ft fam I hope you have as much confidence as

00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: five days a year, start explaining the intricacies of the

152
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 4: sport and the specs on a bat. You know who

153
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 4: you are out there, and hey, anybody can talk about

154
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 4: a sport. I'm not criticizing that. It's just funny when

155
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 4: you get some deep dives from the networks or the

156
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 4: other media companies out there that don't cover the game

157
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 4: that frequently and you start to see the takes and

158
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: they're like, oh god, it's getting into it back and forth.

159
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 4: I'm like, gosh, they used the wrong lingo and everything. Yeah,

160
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: it sounds really, really weird.

161
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: It's cringe it.

162
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 4: The MLB is letting the Yankees do whatever they.

163
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 6: Want, and every player, every team is doing It doesn't

164
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 6: mean every player, but all teams are doing right.

165
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: Everyone's gonna have an opportunity. And let me ask you this,

166
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: because obviously the bat companies are having a field day

167
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: and good for them, like get let them get some

168
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: pub They work their tails off to make bats, especially nowadays,

169
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 4: for the players to be suitable for their standards to

170
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 4: use in a Major League game. What percentage of players

171
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 4: do you think will have and use a torpedo bat

172
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 4: within the next month, And then also give me what

173
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 4: percentage you think we'll use the torpedo bat in games

174
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 4: regularly by September. Who wants to go first?

175
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 6: Listen. I don't think it's gonna change as much. I think,

176
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 6: you know, if you're a guy that's uh, guy gets

177
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 6: on base all the time, and why would you want

178
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 6: to you know, like a Louis Race even though he

179
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 6: struggle a little bit, Why would you want to change

180
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 6: something when you've been swinging with the same bat your

181
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,719
Speaker 6: whole life. You know what I mean. You're you're at

182
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 6: a time in your career where home runs aren't necessarily

183
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 6: you like, they're not looking for you to hit a

184
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 6: home run now. If you're looking for a guy that's

185
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 6: on the tail end of his career, they usually averages

186
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 6: twenty five to thirty homers, and you're you know, you're

187
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 6: at a pace right now where you're like, man, I

188
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 6: need to get paid a little more. Yeah, I'm gonna

189
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 6: try this this bad out because all of a sudden,

190
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 6: now I can get rid of getting jam If I'm

191
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 6: a guy like myself that can get jammed all the time,

192
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 6: I'm gonna try this bad out. It just depends on

193
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 6: what type of hitter you are. I don't think it's

194
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 6: necessarily gonna skyrocket, but you're going to see you know,

195
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 6: some guys use it. You can't just jump in to

196
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 6: a game all of a sudden and be like, oh,

197
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 6: I'm using this and think I'm gonna hit better. You know,

198
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 6: your swing path might be different. You know, so guys

199
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 6: are gonna try and batting practice and you know, I

200
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 6: think it might jump up twenty five.

201
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 2: I'll give you a percentage after I give you this story.

202
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: I used to play with Carlos Ruis Chuoch. He had

203
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: his He had his Chuch model. I don't have it

204
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 2: around here. I wish I did, but maybe I'll bring

205
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: it tomorrow. He had his model that he used, he said.

206
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: He said one time he goes, hey, do you know

207
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: what I do? Sometimes? Bobby? He said. He says, sometimes

208
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 2: I get a hit and I say, you know what

209
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 2: this bet it doesn't have any more hits anymore. Now

210
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 2: I have to use a white guy bat, he said.

211
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: Maybe some guy's swinging really hard. I have to use

212
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 2: a Latin guy's bat. So maybe I use Raoul Labanyas

213
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 2: because he's like white guy and Latin guy all in one.

214
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: So guys switch him during the games. What percentage I

215
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: bet fifty percent of guys will have them ordered and

216
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: have torpedo bats with their names on them. If you didn't,

217
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: then you have a contract with a company that doesn't

218
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: make them. You just want to have them just to

219
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: try him out. So even more than fifty percent are

220
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 2: going to try I am out, and I guarantee you

221
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 2: seventy five percent of those dudes are gonna look at

222
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: it and go I hate the feel of this. I'm

223
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: not trying to get jammed. I'm gonna try to stay

224
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: inside the ball longer, you know what. I don't like

225
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: the feel of it. So will ten percent be using

226
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 2: it in a month? Sure, But I've been with those

227
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: ten percent. Dudes are gonna be switching it during the game.

228
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 2: They're gonna go over. You think Raffie Devers right now

229
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: is using the same bat all nineteen at bets. I

230
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: don't think so.

231
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 6: No, and I baseball players are very fickle, and they're

232
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 6: very routine oriented, and they're not gonna want to change much,

233
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 6: especially if they're doing well. But again, Cratzy, I think

234
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 6: is a good point. I think guys are gonna order

235
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 6: it and be like, oh, I gotta at least try

236
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 6: this out. So we'll see what happened.

237
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to give it a shot, and then

238
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 4: if you don't like, you don't like it. But right

239
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 4: now it's less than one percent, so even getting a

240
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: ten percent okay, then then now this is a part

241
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 4: of our sport. For certain guys, it'll click. Hey, we're

242
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 4: excited to have Brad Lord joining us right now from

243
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 4: the Washington Nationals. Brad, great to have you on. Thank

Speaker 4: making your debut the other day, and of course I

247
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,160

00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:22,280

251
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 4: Let's do it. Yeah, right off, jump go ahead, Brad.

252
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh no, I was just going to say,

253
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's making my debut this past Sunday.

254
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: It was, you know, just a dream come true, a

255
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: huge flood of emotions and adrenaline and it's been a

256
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: lot of fun so far.

257
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 4: So let's start with the backstory. Because you are unique

258
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 4: because of a prior job. Give us the lowdown on

259
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: that and how much coverage. You know, it's gotten you

260
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: in a good way for people in the baseball world

261
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 4: to have hope even when the path is not the

262
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 4: easiest to get to where you are now.

263
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, kind of going into the off season,

264
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: I was like, I got a lot of free time

265
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: in my hand, on my hands obviously, and I was

266
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: like looking for some places to apply and there was

267
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: a home depot right beside my apartment. I was like, oh,

268
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: you know, let's let's apply there. And got the job

269
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: and got got put in the garden section, and you know,

270
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun, get to help out

271
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: a lot of customers. And once Christmas time came around,

272
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: I was I was working in the Christmas tree tent.

273
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: So that was a lot of fun.

274
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: You know, it smells really good and you get to

275
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: help people pick out Christmas trees.

276
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: So so it was more of a less out of necessity,

277
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 2: more out of get yourself off the get yourself off

278
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 2: the couch kind of thing.

279
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: Oh it's still out of necessity too, you know, I

280
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: still got bills to pay, so I had to do something.

281
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 6: Let me let me ask you this. It kind of

282
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 6: spanned towards me because they know I'm the working man

283
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 6: around here. I get this, especially around the house. How

284
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 6: come every time when I go to home deep, I

285
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 6: get nervous and sweating inside. I don't know, it's the

286
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 6: weirdest thing. Like, I get so nervous. There's so much

287
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 6: stuff in there, and I need help every time I

288
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 6: go because I have no clue what I'm doing. So

289
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 6: can you like give me some advice next time I

290
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 6: go in there? Do I need to look on the

291
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 6: app first? What's what's something I can do if I'm

292
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 6: looking for you know, sectional carpetry, to you know, mulch,

293
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 6: to you know, whatever it is.

294
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll tell you first off, if you're not alone.

295
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: My first couple of days there I was. I was

296
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: nervous and sweat and trying to find everything. But the

297
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: easiest thing to do is, you know, as soon as

298
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: you walk in if you're looking for something, just ask

299
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: the first associate.

300
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: You see. That's the easiest thing that I found.

301
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: And when customers would come in and ask me that

302
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: I could I can pour them to the to the

303
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: right spot.

304
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 2: Did you keep your vest? And do you think you're

305
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: gonna have to wear it? When you guys do rookie

306
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: dress up later this year.

307
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: No, I actually did not get to keep my vest

308
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: from working in the Christmas tree tent. It was covered

309
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: in tree sap, so I was this thing's pretty nasty,

310
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: so I just threw it away. I didn't expect it

311
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: to get this much traction.

312
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 6: What what did your teammates say about the whole home

313
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 6: depot thing? Were they running with it? Were they're having

314
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,440

Speaker 1: asking me, you know, if had any pictures or anything,

318
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: or just like little little jokes here and there. Yeah,

319
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: they were definitely having a lot of fun with it.

320
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: Now, you're an eighteenth rounder and people don't know eighteenth rounders.

321
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: They don't get a ton to sign. Do you feel

322
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: like you're the only dude in the clubhouse, especially in

323
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: Big league camp clubhouse, who had to get a job

324
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: in the off season.

325
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: Definitely not.

326
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: You know a lot of these guys too in the

327
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: in the clubhouse, they've had to growing through the minor leagues,

328
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: and you know, in the minor leagues right now, we

329
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: have it better than what they used to, so you know,

330
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: they they've all been through the same thing.

331
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: So what do you guys? So what do you guys

332
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: talk about? Do you guys do do you Is there

333
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: anybody that had a worst job because you seem like

334
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: you liked the job? I mean Christmas tree farm? Like

335
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 2: who's mad when they're coming to buy a Christmas tree?

336
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: So like, I feel like it's a happy place to work,

337
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: But like, who had did somebody have a worse job

338
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: that you were? Like, good night, I'm glad I got.

339
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: All I had was tree saf on my vest.

340
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: No really specific jobs, you know, guys have said. A

341
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: couple of guys have said, you know, they've worked at

342
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: some grocery stores and stuff like that, or you know,

343
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: vallet and cars. So you know, not really any specifics

344
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: that jump out, but you know, we've all kind of

345
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: worked worked some similar jobs.

346
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 2: RD. The reason I'm bringing us up is because I'm

347
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: trying to tell Todd what it's like because he's never

348
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: actually had a real job. He's All Star, an All Star,

349
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: first rounder, all that stuff, so he's never had to

350
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 2: grind it through the minor leagues by like getting a job.

351
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 2: But since you did grind it through the minor leagues,

352
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: you're not a grinder, but that's a whole nother story.

353
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: You grind it in a little bit through the minor

354
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: leagues for a few years. Oh yeah, Profar, Just Profar

355
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: just came out, you know, with an eighty game suspension.

356
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 2: You were really close to making the big leagues. And

357
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: I'm probably gonna ask every player guest from now until

358
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 2: the end of the week, do you see why somebody

359
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: would take steroids to be able to make the big leagues?

360
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: Like in your case, you were trying to make the

361
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 2: big leagues or stay in the big leagues, or stay

362
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: in the big leagues and get a huge contract. Do

363
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 2: you see it from a guy who's kind of on

364
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: the fringe of something.

365
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean, not really, you know, I mean just you know,

366
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: kind of like the threat of it, because it's like

367
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: we all know like if we take steroids, like you're

368
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: you're done. You know that that ruins your reputation, and so,

369
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, I feel like there's not really a need

370
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: or an urgency to do anything.

371
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 2: Okay, but you throw a billion miles an hour. Let's

372
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 2: say let's say somebody came to you and said, hey, right,

373
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 2: if you take if you take steroids, you're gonna gain

374
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 2: two inches of vertical vertical break on your fastball, and

375
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: you're gonna able to throw one hundred and five consistently

376
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 2: and recover, so you'll be able to get eighty appearances?

377
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 2: Is that more intriguing?

378
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 3: I still I still couldn't go for it.

379
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: Good for you. Good for you because you make you

380
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: make the decision ahead of time that you're like, you

381
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 2: know what, I'm not gonna do that.

382
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, Brian, I'm gonna spin it back to

383
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 4: the field. So when you're, you know, working in the

384
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 4: off season, do you visualize what you just went through?

385
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 4: Is there? You know it? Time when you're feeling like,

386
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 4: I don't know this, This path is tough, and I

387
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 4: got to pick up a second job to pay the bills,

388
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: and you know, somebody's asking me for something in the

389
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 4: garden section that doesn't even exist. But really, I'll show everyone.

390
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be on a big league mound for the

391
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 4: Washington Nationals coming up soon, Like, tell me what goes on,

392
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 4: because obviously those are long shifts and hours, like what's

393
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 4: stewing in your brain as you're going through a workday

394
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 4: like that, hustling to make it?

395
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: I mean definitely, like I have a lot of downtime,

396
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: you know, later in the night when there's not as

397
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: many people in the stores, so I have a lot

398
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: of time to think and use it as like motivation,

399
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: as like, all right, you know, I don't want to

400
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: have to work a job in the next all seasons.

401
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: So it's really just kind of fuels you to be like,

402
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm more work harder every day and try

403
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: to try to achieve the goal of being in the

404
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: big leagues.

405
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: How do you stay now? How do you stay in

406
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: the big leagues? Because I'm sure you've thrown all the

407
00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 2: heavy balls you've you've gun sling baseballs to try to

408
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: road as hard as you possibly can. How do you

409
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 2: stay because you were just you were just a starter

410
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: in the minor leagues. If I'm correct, I think he

411
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: had a few appearances that weren't starts, but mostly starts.

412
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was mostly starts. I feel like the

413
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 3: name of the game is just staying healthy. If I

414
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 3: can stay healthy and you know, stay on the field,

415
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 3: that gives me the best chance to stay.

416
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 6: Is there is there a guy right now that when

417

00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: of being with me along this and getting me used

431
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: to the lifestyle.

432
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 2: What happened when that phone ring, When the phone rang

433
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 2: out in the bullpen, you had the how hard? How

434
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: how hard was your chest beating?

435
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: Oh it was, you know, just being there an opening

436
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: day by the ceremony. You know, my heart's pumping the

437
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: whole time, especially once that phone ring, just expecting expecting

438
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: them to hear my or call my name, and you know,

439
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: I was just when they finally said a name. It

440
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: it's it's just a flood of emotions. It's very hard

441
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: to describe. You get a lot of adrenaline and then

442
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 1: you're just you know, kind of in like tunnel vision,

443
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 1: ready to get on the mountain.

444
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: So how many times did the phone ring before it

445
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,679
Speaker 2: was your call? I didn't, I didn't see when you

446
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: came in the game, But how many times were like?

447
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: Was there other relievers or were you the first reliever up?

448
00:21:58,840 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 3: No?

449
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: So I didn't come in until this last Sunday at

450
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: home against the Phillies. So I got hot actually a

451
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: few times before that Thursday and then the Saturday game.

452
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: I'd got hot a couple of times during those games,

453
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: so I kind of kind of, you know, I could

454
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: got used to the adrenaline spike, but there was still nothing,

455
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: nothing to compare it to than when I got on

456
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: the mound.

457
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 2: But did it help? But did that adrenaline spike help?

458
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 3: I would say, so.

459
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: You know my stuff. You know, I gain gained a

460
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: few one or two miles an hour on the fastball.

461
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: But then also too, you know, I didn't I didn't

462
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: have a very good outing. You know, I wasn't throwing strikes,
