1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,639
Speaker 1: I thought he was going to do it when when

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: they told me that people was an All Star. In

3
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: my head, I was like, Oh, he's doing the home

4
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: run derby. And then when I found out that he

5
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: wasn't doing I was like, oh.

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

7
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 3: Mets manager Carlos Mendoza back on foul territory, Mendy, good

8
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 3: to see you, and I'm sure a nice happy evening

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 3: after the game to celebrate a big comeback win. What's

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 3: it like when you have comeback wins like that. I mean,

11
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 3: obviously it's good to get a win in any form

12
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 3: of win is a win, but is a win really

13
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 3: a win? Besides, you know, coming back from a game

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 3: like that.

15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,639
Speaker 2: What's up? Fellas? He was a great win for us,

16
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: you know, getting down four runs.

17
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: I think he was going into the eighth in and

18
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: knowing that the bullpen from Baltimore.

19
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: Man, they got some legit arms there. You know. But

20
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: when we're clicking h we never feel like we're out

21
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: of the game.

22
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: And we saw it with the name leading off that inning,

23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 1: working at I think was an eight pitch at bat.

24
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: Get some bass, lindor clip them now we would you know,

25
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: within striking distance, uh Soto, get some bass and then

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: Pete with the time once so on before you know,

27
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: I have four hitters, Uh, Tye Bowl game.

28
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: Uh, it's always a good feeling.

29
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go back to that Sunday game against

30
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: the Yankees where we were down five or six too

31
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: in the middle innings and we you know, we put

32
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: a rally together before we know it, We're right, we

33
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: were right back in the game. So uh again, it's

34
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: good to see those guys clicking and uh for us

35
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: to be able to to get that victory last night,

36
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: the way we did it, it was a.

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 2: It was a good feeling. Not gonna lie, Carlos.

38
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 4: It was great to see the home runs. But I

39
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 4: want to go about bullpen management with you. I always,

40
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 4: I'm always fascinated by bullpen management. No, just in this

41
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 4: game particular. You use Diaz in the ninth, okay, and

42
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 4: then you use Braza band in the tent to get

43
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 4: out of what the the Manfred runner on second? Is

44
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 4: there any have you ever thought about And again this

45
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 4: is probably not because the Orios did the same thing,

46
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 4: ty game. They use Bautista in the ninth to get

47
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 4: to the tenth. Then you guys score the run in

48
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 4: the tent and then you get to the but then

49
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: you're in the bottom of the tent. It's a safe

50
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 4: situation and you don't have your closer. Have you ever

51
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: thought about flip flopping Braza, Ban and Diaz. I know

52
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 4: you say you got to get to the tent first,

53
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 4: but it just seems like most teams count on scoring

54
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 4: the ghost runner and then all right, at the bottom

55
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 4: of the inning comes, we need strikeouts and we can't

56
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 4: let them score.

57
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think every situation is different in There'll be

58
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: times where I might go whether it's a Brazlova and

59
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: the stantic Garrett.

60
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: Before I go to Diaz. But where we.

61
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: Were at yesterday, I knew if we didn't score in

62
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: the ninth, we had our best hitters coming up. We

63
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: had Toto, we had pet, we had those guys. So

64
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: my thinking the whole time was I'm gonna get Das

65
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: in the game. If we score here in the in

66
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: the ninth, then it's a safe situation. But if we

67
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: go to go to extras, I want to give these

68
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: guys another chance to get to the play and you know,

69
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: knowing that they use a lot of their high leverage

70
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: relief about Tisa was already in the game, and you know,

71
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: all of those guys bay heres.

72
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: So again, I think it's where you.

73
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: At, where they at, bullpen wise, who's coming up you,

74
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: who's coming up from them? And I thought yesterday was

75
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: a situation where it's like, you know what, I'm gonna

76
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: shoot Das here, I'm gonna get him hot. He's in

77
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: the game and I'm trying to get the offense another chance.

78
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I'm glad that he worked out yesterday.

79
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: Brazoban came in and and got the last three outs.

80
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: And that's what I keep telling these guys, man, like

81
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: every time we'll give you the ball. He could be

82
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: down five up five down one up one in the ninth, Like,

83
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: just go out there and get three outs.

84
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: You know. Obviously with dis is different.

85
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: Uh there's a lot of different ways that I could,

86
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, use them, but yesterday, in that particular time,

87
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: I thought it was best to uh to use them there.

88
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 5: All right, I gotta talk about starter usage. If he's

89
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 5: gonna talk about bullpen usage, I'm gonna talk about starter usage.

90
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 5: Do you lose sleep over the arguments you have with

91
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 5: front office, the training step about when a starter should

92
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 5: or shouldn't come out, come out of the game. You've

93
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 5: watched a lot of games. You watch a lot of

94
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 5: games in the minor leagues, a lot of games in

95
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 5: the big leagues. Your view and feel for how a

96
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 5: starting pitcher is pitching can't just be on a piece

97
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 5: of paper? Am I right? Or does it have to

98
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 5: be you're feeling it? You know your bullpen is cash.

99
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 5: You know you're still in the beginning part of July.

100
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 5: You got to get these guys through two and a

101
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 5: half more months of baseball. How do you deal with

102
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 5: that and how do you argue with them? Or do

103
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 5: you just say, you know what, we're winning today's game

104
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 5: and we'll figure out surgeries to August.

105
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, we win today, we'll figure it out tomorrow. We'll figure

106
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: out August September. You know, like the most important game

107
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: is tonight. Tonight's game, you know, and we get together,

108
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, with the pitching coaches. We have a really

109
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: good process here, and he's very flexible and you're Huntrey

110
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: percent right, right. It's not like I'm going out there

111
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: and say, well, Clay Holmes, for instance, is got.

112
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 2: Eighty five pitches.

113
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: Now we know that this is the first time for

114
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: him as a starter, and he's making a huge transition.

115
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: He already exceeded his inning from his previous years. Like,

116
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: but he's going. Like yesterday was a perfect example. He's

117
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: through five, he's seventy one pitches. You know, the first

118
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: two guys get on and I'm gonna go to the bullpen.

119
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: There because there's two guys on his third time through.

120
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: The guy was dominating for five innings, you know, and

121
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a chance to get through to

122
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: do the mess. You know, I wanted to keep going,

123
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: especially with how much we've been using our guys from

124
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: the bullpen.

125
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: So that's the perfect example.

126
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 5: You know.

127
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: Now, guys coming back from injuries, whether it's a Senga,

128
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: whether it's a Manaya coming up real soon here, then

129
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: we have a number that stick to it because of

130
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: the injury that they're coming they're coming from. But as

131
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: far as like the other guys, you know, there's gonna

132
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: be times so they're gonna go one hundred and.

133
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: Ten, there's gonna be guys that you know depict.

134
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go back to homes the previous outing

135
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: he was, I took him out after eighty five pitches

136
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: and he was through five, but he walked four lefties,

137
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, in that it wasn't like he was dominating.

138
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: And there was like four leftist coming up in the

139
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: six innings, and I said that was it. And it

140
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: wasn't just because he was only gonna go eighty five pitches.

141
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: I was watching the game and he was pretty clear

142
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: he didn't have the change.

143
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: Up that day.

144
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: Yesterday he had the change up. So that's what you

145
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: know is day by day the cases. The cases are

146
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: different and you have to go. Yeah, you prepare, but

147
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: the game will tell you what to do.

148
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: Crats.

149
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,120

168
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 4: No kidding, all right, So I've got to ask you

169
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 4: mentioned Sega Manaya. It said no quote, no restrictions on them.

170
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 4: Does that mean they're going out there chucking one hundred pitches?

171
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: Does that mean you told Senge to cover first base

172
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,679
Speaker 4: or stop covering first base?

173
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 5: Like?

174
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 6: What does no restrictions mean?

175
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 4: I said, no restrictions, that's what the people are reporting, Carlos,

176
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 4: I don't know.

177
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: I mean we have a number that we are comfortable

178
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: with as far as PITCHCN goes. Like I just said,

179
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, with Senga after being down for a month Manaya,

180
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: you know, first time, but that's basically it. You know,

181
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: like we have an idea of you know, how many

182
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: pitches we want them to throw.

183
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: And other than that, go play baseball, go pitch.

184
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 5: Many of the All Star games coming up, And before

185
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 5: AJ gets to the tougher question, I'll get you to

186
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 5: a fun question. What would you add to the All

187
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 5: Star Game to make it creative and fun? I said,

188
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 5: I want to see the fastest runners run against each

189
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 5: other a sixty. I want to see the throw the

190
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 5: ball as far as they possibly can. I know teams

191
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 5: won't allow that, But what's something fun that we could

192
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 5: add to the All Star Game that would be that

193
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 5: would that you would okay as a manager, be like,

194
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 5: oh no, no, not my Lindor. I don't want my

195
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 5: Lindor running as fast as he can one time in

196
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 5: a sprint so that he stays healthy.

197
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 2: Man, you kind of cough me off guard here. But

198
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: I don't know the first thing that comes to mind. Uh.

199
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: You know, when I first heard about it the Golden

200
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: at Bat, I thought it was a crazy idea, you know,

201
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: but hey, why not in the All Star Game?

202
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 2: You know?

203
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: Like, you know, you got as a manager, you got

204
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: a bunch of superstars, which one you wanna pick? So

205
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that's the first thing that you know,

206
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: Like I said, because you gotta call me off guard.

207
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: But it'll be a pretty tough spot as a manager

208
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: of an All Star team.

209
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: To say, hey, you get an opportunity to pick one,

210
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: go ahead, good luck, you know. True?

211
00:09:59,640 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 6: True.

212
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 4: By the way, Mandy I also said, I I'm in

213
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 4: Atlanta right now. They have the softball fence out. Not

214
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 4: only could you do golden and bat, but you once

215
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: a game you could call in the softball fence to

216
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 4: be wheeled out and it's like two hundred and fifty

217
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 4: feet and if that guy on the golden bat hits

218
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 4: a home run, accounts is like five runs right over

219
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 4: the softball fence, not over the real fence.

220
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 6: And then they got what if you don't hit.

221
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: It out of the fence, he's that guy is like

222
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: a six house.

223
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 4: And then that's what I'm saying, Yeah, like, think about

224
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 4: all the fun you could have with this whole thing,

225
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 4: right So now, I mean there are a million things

226
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: you could go and if we want to make this fun.

227
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: But now they're bringing in the abs.

228
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 6: Okay?

229
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 4: Is that the reason Wan Soto was not in the

230
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 4: All Star Game because he has an eye so good

231
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 4: that he would be going like this on every pitch

232
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 4: and they would want to speed this game.

233
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 5: Up a little bit.

234
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I'm a big fan of a ABS,

235
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, And that's my feedback after

236
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: a screen training, after going through there.

237
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: He adds so much to the game.

238
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: I feel like he adds his strategy to it, because

239
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: if you got selfies players, there are going to be

240
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: challenging early in them, and then before you know it,

241
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: in the eighth on the ninth with the game on

242
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: the line, you need that and you're out of it,

243
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: you know so. And also for me, he just eliminates

244
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: the back and forth from the dog out with the umpires,

245
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, like you want to argue, go ahead and challenge,

246
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: you know.

247
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 5: Uh.

248
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: And there's a little bit of accountability here for both games,

249
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: you know so.

250
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of it.

251
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: I just saw that they're gonna do it in the

252
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: All Star Game, and uh, I'm really looking forward to it.

253
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 5: Well what about one? What about one? Missing the you

254
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 5: missed you you dodge that part of the question one,

255
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 5: So to give.

256
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: Us your incredible I don't get it, you know.

257
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: Uh. He's he's our MVP, you know, he's an m

258
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: VP for us. He's an All start for us. So

259
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping that in the next day or two

260
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: we get a call and uh he gets in by

261
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: because uh it's hard to believe that, you know, when

262
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: you look at what he's done. You know all the

263
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: way to them, he's not an all start.

264
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 5: So and the players, the players got it wrong. It

265
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 5: wasn't even the fans that got it wrong. The players

266
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 5: got it wrong. So that's that's my issue. But I

267
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 5: also said they brought out the they brought out those

268
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 5: voting sheets, and Wan wasn't quite hot enough yet. Anyway,

269
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 5: all that to say, you hit on it a little bit,

270
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 5: you said the arguing from the dugout, Mendy, I've seen

271
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 5: a little bit too many veins popping on the side

272
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 5: of your head recently. Do you feel like you're a

273
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 5: little bit more on edge when your team is going

274
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 5: through a tough stretch and calls don't go your way.

275
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 5: If you win sixteen of eighteen, are you gonna argue

276
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 5: the same amount of balls and strikes as if your

277
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 5: team loses thirteen of sixteen.

278
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it'll be the same amount, but it

279
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: just went out they are that drastic in the situation

280
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: of the game. You know, I'm gonna go back to

281
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: that Sunday man, like, come on, Torrents, get two calls

282
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm praying to get Soto or Pe

283
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: up to the plate.

284
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 2: We're down to all I need is one guy to

285
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 2: get on, you know. And then when you're.

286
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: Giving them and missing that much, it's like, come on, man,

287
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: like we got to be better, you know, understanding that

288
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: they're human and all that, but where there, you know, Yeah,

289
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: I feel like as a manager, if you're in the

290
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: middle of those tough stretches kind of like where we

291
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: were for the past three weeks or so.

292
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: I got thrown out of Pittsford the other day.

293
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: Same then you know, we're kind of coming back and

294
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: mar Viento's gets a call three y old call where

295
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: Soto's behind him, you know, so both for and before

296
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: you know you got to go ahead, uh on the

297
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: play with.

298
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: Totos so uh. I think every situation is different.

299
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: But when when you're not winning us much, you feel

300
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: like you you gotta you gotta fight those.

301
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 6: Mandy, calm down. You guys are in first place.

302
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 4: It's like been like this with you guys, right every

303
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: team is like, oh, we went down, we lose ten.

304
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 4: We went ten, we lose ten, we went then we

305
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 4: lose ten. I guess our guys are in first place.

306
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 4: You guys are in first place, okay, And I don't

307
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 4: care what Crats is.

308
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna playing.

309
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 6: I'm just I don't care what Crat says. Okay, you

310
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 6: guys are in first place.

311
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 4: But what I want to know is how important is

312
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 4: that taking two out of three from the Yankies. Yes,

313
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 4: you would have liked to have swept them, but in

314
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 4: New York for the papers, for the back pages, and

315
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 4: then it catapulted you to the win yesterday? How important

316
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 4: was that series to win? Just to kind of get

317
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 4: you back on track?

318
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: Hey, Jay, Honestly, going into that series, we were like,

319
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: how are we.

320
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 2: Gonna get through three games? You know what we have

321
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 2: right now?

322
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: You know, when you look at we have Hageman starting

323
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: on Friday, who kept us in the game, you know,

324
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: first two batters, feed the Homers, and I thought he

325
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: did an unbelievable job, you know, just staying locked in

326
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: and giving us a chance. But boping was short. Then

327
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: we have months and then on Sunday, going into the series,

328
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: we didn't know who was pitching, you know. Uh, so

329
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: for us to take two out of three, you know

330
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: how special those games are. They're electric, They're fans every pitch,

331
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: every bat, every play matters.

332
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: Uh, it feels like a playoff atmosphere.

333
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: And for us to and then on Sunday we get

334
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: down and you know, the guys fought back. So yeah,

335
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: he was he was special. Obviously a good feeling and

336
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm glad that we were able to win the series.

337
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 5: Air all right, one manager, one of your buddies, Aaron

338
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 5: Boone has been getting so much flack. He's been getting

339
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 5: criticized by fans for saying during their tough stretch, the

340
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 5: Yankees tough stretch, that the team is still good. Telling

341
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 5: the team that they are still good? What else are

342
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 5: you supposed to do as a manager? You can't, like,

343
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 5: I don't understand how fans can sit there and go, oh,

344
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 5: Aaron Boone needs to lose his job if he's delusional

345
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 5: and says his team is still good. What are you

346
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 5: supposed to do as a manager?

347
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I mean you're gonna go out there and

348
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: all we sock with the worst team in baseball.

349
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: Good. The reality is that they're good. They've got a

350
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: good team. You know, we're good.

351
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of good teams in the big leagues

352
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: and that's what makes this league, you know, a tough league, man,

353
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: and understanding that every team is going to go through

354
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: stretches like this.

355
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: The fan bases are not happy when you're going through it,

356
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: and rightfully so.

357
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: But you just have to be consistent, man, and you know,

358
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: attack the issues and then some of the things that

359
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: you're not doing well, there's a reason why you're losing games.

360
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 7: And our job, as my job as a manager, our

361
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 7: job is as a coaching staff, is to continue to coach,

362
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 7: continue to teach, and continue to push guys move to

363
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 7: move forward, but at the same time understanding and staying

364
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 7: consistent that you'll get through it, believing in your players.

365
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: All right.

366
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: Last one, Mandy Pete Alonzo is not doing the home

367
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: run derby. Were you surprised that he actually, on his

368
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: own decided that he didn't want to participate this year?

369
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 3: And you have any thoughts at all as a manager

370
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 3: on him not doing it or do you really not care?

371
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,239
Speaker 3: I mean, Pete's been able to perform after home run derbys,

372
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 3: so I think that narrative gets overplayed, especially with a

373
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 3: lumberjack like Pete.

374
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 5: But what do you think?

375
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 2: So I was yes and no.

376
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: I was kinda like I thought he was gonna do

377
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: it when when they told me that Pete was an

378
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: All Star.

379
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: In my head, I was like, He's doing the home

380
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 2: run derby.

381
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 1: And then when I found out that he wasn't do it,

382
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: I was like, hmmm uh.

383
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: But watching him, uh.

384
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: This year, with the way he's preparing his routine, like

385
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: how locked him, how multi meticulous he is, Like, this

386
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: guy's on a mission right now.

387
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 2: So I'm not surprised by it. You know that he wants,

388
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,959
Speaker 2: he wants to go, he wants to play.

389
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: But again, like you said, this is a guy that's

390
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: done it for the past I don't know how many years,

391
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: and he doesn't affect him, but he felt it was

392
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: best for him for the team, uh to stay away

393
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: this this time. And I respect that, you know, proud

394
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: of him obviously for making the All Star team.

395
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: But I was a leader surprised, not gonna lie.

396
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 5: You're mad. You're mad, That's what it is, because you

397
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 5: were hoping he was gonna have you throw to him

398
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 5: in the derby, be.

399
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: Honest, Nope, Nope, I don't throw b P no more cratzy.

400
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 5: When did that happen?

401
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 2: Just?

402
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 5: I mean just in spring training you were throwing BP.

403
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 5: Did you hurt yourself or you you reach your pitch limit?

404
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: No, man, it's just by the time I get out,

405
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: the guys got their routines. You know, we got a

406
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: lot of good BP throwing spring training. I throw all

407
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: the time. But once the season starts, Uh, that's it

408
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: for me.

409
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 4: By the way, Mendy, Mendy, Yeah, Mendy, you should just
