1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: We're hungry for it. We believe, we believe in this team.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: I'd take this team to battle with them and anybody

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: any day of the week.

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: Hey, we've got Padres reliever Jason Adam back on the show.

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 3: I think it's been probably about a year, Jason.

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: Good to see you and obviously here on a new

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: team since we last spoke. So how's life with the

8
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: San Diego Padres? Best record in baseball right now?

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: Good to see you all. Yeah, I mean it's it's

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 1: a good life all around. Baseball's good life in San

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: Diego's good. Family's good. I got, I got no complaints. Nice.

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: I like it.

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 2: Hey, we didn't get to talk to you when that

14
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 2: all went down. So how did it go when you

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 2: got traded over to San Diego? Were you surprised you

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: got traded? And then were you excited to join a

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: club that was going to be in postseason contention because

18
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: the Rays had a down year?

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, I was definitely not surprised. I knew and

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: there was enough rumors that I knew there was a chance.

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: And honestly, the front office with Tampa was great. They

22
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: called me like a week before They're like, hey, I

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: don't know if you'll get traded, I don't know what

24
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: will happen, but just to be honest, we're listening, so

25
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: we'll keep you updated. So definitely wasn't surprised, but it's

26
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: it's always jarring obviously just because it's uh, couldn't have

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: gone much further across the country, so the move, the

28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: logistics were a hassle, but I was pumped, man, And

29
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: right when I got to San Diego, everybody, the whole

30
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: team just brought me in right away, and and I think,

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we could not that those first few weeks

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: I was there. We could not lose a game. It was.

33
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: It was some of the most fun baseball. I mean,

34
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: we'd be down late, come back home, Jackson, Merril Homer,

35
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: Jackson Meryrol Homer, it was. It was an insane team

36
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: to be a part of. And still it's really Hi.

37
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 4: Jay, First of all, before I get to the team

38
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: you got traded to, your hair is kind of matching

39
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 4: the bed behind you. Like it's not like the super

40
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 4: messed up, but it's like kind of just who it is. Okay,

41
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: So it's nice. It's nice. It matches, it matches your look.

42
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 4: You're you're a handsome man.

43
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: It's it's refined BedHead.

44
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 4: Is that what it is?

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know about that, you know, I don't

46
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 3: know about that.

47
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 4: I got nothing going on there. I got no bad head.

48
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 4: But this is your second time. This is your second

49
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 4: time back with the Padres. The first time you were there.

50
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 4: Can you give yourself because you've established yourself as an

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: elite bullpen arm closer when you were at the Raise,

52
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 4: like you come in and you strike fear in the

53
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 4: hitter when you were there last time, can you did

54
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: going back and putting these colors back along. Was it

55
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: seventeen you were there or was it eighteen? I forget

56
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 4: it was seventeen. Yeah, so seventeen I was there. I

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: mean I was rehabbing almost the whole time. Yeah, So

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: they signed I became a minor league free agent with

59
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: the Twins and I signed there and still was essentially

60
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: still was her and so I think I was. All

61
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 4: I was striking fear in.

62
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: Them at the time was pocketbooks because they're like, we

63
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: cannot keep paying for surgeries for this guy that's never

64
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna make It. Was the minor leagues, so yeah, I

65
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: mean it was I was a Navy blue pod in seventeen,

66
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: So new colors, new team. But yeah, I've always been

67
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: always enjoyed Probaber. I always thought he does a great job.

68
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: Way back in high school, I thought he was going

69
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: to draft me with the Rangers. So we've had a

70
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: long standing relationship, so I was excited to get back.

71
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 4: Can you can you put in your mind though, because

72
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: when I think about going to a team, I was

73
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 4: drafted by the Jays and I never made the big

74
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 4: leagues until I got traded back and made the big leagues.

75
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 4: When I put that uniform back on, it looked different,

76
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 4: the colors were different. Did it bring back the flood

77
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 4: of memories in the sense that you put this Padres

78
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 4: uniform on? Did it bring back the flood of memories

79
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 4: of what you went through during that time, because that's

80
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 4: when I've got to know you was in the sixteen

81
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 4: seventeen time period.

82
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it was very, very much a full circle moment.

83
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: And I think my wife and I talked about it

84
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: because we were convinced, Like when I signed with the Padres,

85
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: we felt great about it. We're like, this is where

86
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna play, this is where I'm gonna play. I'm

87
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: gonna be here, like I feel like I'm going to

88
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: really have some success in San Diego. And at the

89
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: time and it's uh, it was it was a no

90
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: at the time, but apparently it was just a denial,

91
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: like or not a denial, it was a delay and

92
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: so we got we made it back. But yeah, go

93
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: thinking back on that time where I couldn't have felt

94
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: further from the big leagues and now here we are.

95
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 5: That's pretty incredible. I Mean, my question to you is,

96
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 5: I mean, the team's playing so well, is there one

97
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 5: person in that clubhouse who who just is the leader

98
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 5: and everybody just follows. Is there is there a guy

99
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 5: in there that's taken you know, this Padre team by

100
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 5: storm and saying hey, you know, let's just go out

101
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 5: there and be who we are. Like, who's that leader

102
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 5: in the clubhouse?

103
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think part of what it makes his team

104
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: special is there's not one guy, but there are several.

105
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: So you got Manny obviously, Manny he's he's he's the

106
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: hefe and and what he says goes in a lot

107
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: of ways, but he and he takes he takes that

108
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: job seriously. He leads us really well. He's any and

109
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: he shows up every day. He's there for us. But

110
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: we've also it's like many Joe, even though Joe's hurt,

111
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: he's taken the lead and he's he's in our pitchers meetings,

112
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: he's given feedback. And so we got Joe, we got Bogie,

113
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 1: I mean, and the list goes on. But really it's

114
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: like we got We've got those big the big guys,

115
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: and they all take an issue. They're not just there

116
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: collecting a check. They're not just there trying to take

117
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: care of themselves. They're they're trying to trying to make

118
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: us win. And if they go oh for four, but

119
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: we win, they're leading the postgame celebration. So it's it's

120
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: pretty special.

121
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 4: I've been told on the show to not make players

122
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 4: compare or choose, but you have had some what I

123
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 4: consider some of the best pitching coaches. Pete Walker, oh yeah,

124
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 4: Kyle Snyder to now Reuben Diebola. But you're the Padres

125
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 4: right now, So I'm just gonna ask, what does Ruben

126
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 4: be able to bring to this staff. He's the pitching

127
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 4: coach for the Padres, who everybody who doesn't know.

128
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: He's Ruben's fantastic. Yeah, yeah, I can't compare it but

129
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: I have, like you said, I've bounced from the best

130
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: in the league to the best in the league to

131
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: the best in the league. It's I've been spoiled. But Ruben,

132
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: he's just he's so detail oriented. So he knows every detail.

133
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: He knows. He essentially like I feel like he knows

134
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: what I'm going to ask before I ask it. But

135
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: he's not got But he's also really has an incredible

136
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: feel for when to just give you some space and

137
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: just let you go. You know, I think some of

138
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: the best coaches know when to just keep their mouth shut,

139
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: and he so he's selective with what he shares because

140
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: a lot of pitching is mental and you just have

141
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: to have the confidence that you're going to roll out

142
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: there and it's going to be there and you're going

143
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: to dominate. But as soon as really before, as soon

144
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: as as soon as you're willing to listen, as soon

145
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: as you need it, he's he's ready, and it's always

146
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: a productive tip and it's always digestible, you know, broken down.

147
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: He knows the ins and outs of it, but he

148
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: also knows, do you give me every little detail that's

149
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: going to be paralyzing on the mound. So He just

150
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: gives you what you need. And there are guys you

151
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: know that want more details, want less details. And he

152
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: knows his guys like he knows us, like we're his kids. AJ.

153
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: It is time for people to get some new clubs,

154
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: and to do that, they need to go to their

155
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: local PXG for a fitting, right, no doubt.

156
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 6: I was there today, I've been there before. Last time

157
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 6: I was there, they gave me this killer gap. I

158
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 6: just look at that sweet spot, Scott. It is worn out.

159
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 6: That is right in the sweet spot right there. So

160
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 6: I went and got new clubs today, new irons. But

161
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 6: more importantly, I got this bad boy. I got me

162
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 6: a new putter. This is my old putter. It's on order. Yes,

163
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 6: that's my putter cover PXG Mustang putter. Now I'm going

164
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 6: to the Allen putter. They talked me into it because

165
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 6: I was draining some putts today. Bob, the guy who

166
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 6: helped me out. He helped me with my irons. You

167
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 6: got them ted up perfectly. But then we went to

168
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 6: the putt and green. I was draining them putts because

169
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 6: that's the most important part of golf.

170
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 7: PXG fittings are fun. Schedule.

Speaker 2: All right, so I promised our fans we get one

179
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: or two questions in I'll do one now. One of

180
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 2: our big padres fans I need money is the username?

181
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: Can you ask who the bullpen BFF is for? Jason Adam?

182
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: He watches every game. He's like it looks like Adam

183
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: and Jeremiah Strata are best of But is this true?

184
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: I won't. I won't pick one guy. I can't pick

185
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: one guy. No, I love our bullpen man. Jeremiah is

186
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: great these uh ever, everybody on that in that bullpen,

187
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: it's a group. It's yeah. I mean, you have no

188
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: choice but to get close to each other because you're

189
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: literally sitting down there every night for two to three

190
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: hours and I can't possibly focus that much all night.

191
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: So you're talking about everything but baseball for the first

192
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: few innings. So yeah, you get close.

193
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 4: Are there any dudes in your in your career so far,

194
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 4: or even you that absolutely get after it in a

195
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 4: bullpen in the sense of like you see dudes that

196
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 4: need to rip a red bull like two seconds before

197
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 4: they go in the game, which I don't get because

198
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 4: it takes like twenty.

199
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: Thirty minutes for you.

200
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 4: But is there is there a routine that you see

201
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 4: on your padres team that you're like, WHOA, I haven't

202
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 4: seen that before, but it worked.

203
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: We've got pretty mellow routine on my routine might be

204
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: among the weirder ones.

205
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 4: I don't.

206
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: I just drink coffee because I'm an old man, so

207
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: that's all. That's all I can handle. But I mean

208
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: routines are pretty I do like summersaults out there and

209
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: stuff to keep the spine moving but outside. So that's

210
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: as weird as it gets.

211
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 4: Wait what wait wait wait wait wait, you do summersaults

212
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 4: like you really like like you do like we used

213
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 4: to do in like second grade gym, like tumbling Matt.

214
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: Summer SATs pretty much. So I'll do a little of that,

215
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: and I do like so I'll roll back and forth

216
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: and then the one that people I get the most,

217
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: I'll call it love for is uh? I do like

218
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: I grab legs crisscrossed and roll in circles. But it

219
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: makes the spine feel good. Buddy, I don't know what

220
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: to tell you.

221
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 4: I mean, if the spine is good, I mean that

222
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: that that I like that. But you said you get

223
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 4: love for the boys give you a hard time? Like

224
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 4: who makes fun of you the most for your like

225
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 4: gimmicky things that you're doing that they.

226
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: Think you're doing. I mean, honestly, probably Fritz, our bullpen coach.

227
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: But no, I knew I did say. I told then

228
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: this because I got traded over here last year and

229
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: this was part of my routines. I just kept doing

230
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: it and it was like a week and a half

231
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: before anyone said anything. I said, there, Now I know

232
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm in. I'm like for the first week when everyone's

233
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 1: just kind of like they're like side eyed me and

234
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,959
Speaker 1: like it you don't like me yet you're not saying

235
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: anything that's fair.

236
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 4: That's fair. You know, if people don't like you, if

237
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 4: they don't talk to you, if they're talking to you,

238
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 4: if they're making fun of you, that means they like you. Sorry,

239
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 4: that's a weird, weird communication thing, all right. Well, then

240
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 4: I'll hit you with the toughest question I got for

241
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 4: you today. One of your teammates from last year tested

242
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 4: positive for steroids this year. When something like that happens,

243
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 4: do you feel like as a game we're doing enough

244
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 4: to keep steroids out or do you feel like you

245
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 4: go back and go, hmm, wait a minute, now, I

246
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 4: know you weren't there the whole year, Or do you

247
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 4: think we're doing enough or we need to do more

248
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 4: as players or the game.

249
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a hard question because I don't know.

250
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we're doing something right if the guys

251
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: that are taking them are getting caught, and I don't know,

252
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I I honestly don't know. I think

253
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: I'm scared to death to take like you know, because

254
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: like we have the meeting every spring, like only take

255
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: supplements that have this sticker on it. They're certified, and

256
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: so they have us like convinced that if I just

257
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: if I drink a protein shake from Lifetime Fitness, it

258
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: might be tainted and I might get popped. So, like,

259
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, like you're just you're scared to take everything,

260
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: And so I'm sure there's cases where that's that's what

261
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: happens where a guy just makes one bad choice and

262
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: gets caught, or is or are there people being malicious

263
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: skirting around and they are getting around the rules for

264
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: a certain amount of time before they finally get caught.

265
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm I'm a fan of as much

266
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: testing as we need. It's a hassle obviously when you

267
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: gotta wait around and be in a cup after a game.

268
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: But I think to have to have just consistency and

269
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: like no unfair advantages. I guess I'm all for that.

270
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm for whatever needs to happen for that.

271
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 4: Guys had a great series last year with the Dodgers.

272
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 4: Then they gave the Padres the ultimate compliment when they

273
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 4: were a little bit inebriated talking after winning the World Series,

274
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 4: saying the Padres were really our world Series. Can you

275
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 4: guys beat them? That's the name of the game.

276
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: Yes.

277
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 4: Can the San Diego Padres beat them and go on

278
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: and win the World Series?

279
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. In my mind, I think that that

280
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: series obviously, that that left us so our taste in

281
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: our mouth because we felt like we had that series

282
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: one and in a lot of ways, but we didn't

283
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: get the job done. So no we're hungry for it.

284
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: We believe, we believe in this team. I'd take I'd

285
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: take this team to battle with them and anybody any

286
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: day of the week. So yeah, that's our intent. There's

287
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: a lot of season left. We got to take care

288
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: of business today and the next day leading up to that.

289
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: But no, I'd battle with this team over anyone.

290
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: When you saw them making a lot of moves this offseason,

291
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 2: were you like, oh, this is cool. This is going

292
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: to make it maybe a bit more challenging, including my

293
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 2: friend Tanner Scott. But you know, I feel like some

294
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: people react to it like ah, but some people react

295
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: to it like great, do everything you want.

296
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 3: It'll make it even more fun.

297
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes it. It makes it more fun. Absolutely,

298
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm all for obviously as a as a player, I'm all,

299
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: four guys, you don't go go get your contracts whatever whatever,

300
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: but and doctors, go ahead and assemble whoever you want.

301
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: We got our team and we're ready, We're ready to battle.

302
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's nobody wants. You don't want

303
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: to win the World Series because every other team was back.

304
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: You want to win the World Series because you beat everybody.

305
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 4: So in fact, that is that is a that is

306
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 4: a mindset of a current player. So everybody who complains

307
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: about the Dodgers spending and all this stuff, that's the

308
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 4: mindset of a player. So if you have a different

309
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 4: mindset as a fan, whatever, that's what players that have

310
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 4: to face. These dudes are thinking. When you look around

311
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 4: your feelt, when you look around the field, when you're

312
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 4: sitting in the bullpen for ninety eight percent of your

313
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 4: life and you're watching your team play, do you ever

314
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 4: lose the fact that every single one of your players

315
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 4: was a short stop at some point in either the

316
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 4: big leagues as it all starts, or in the minor leagues,

317
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 4: is an All star every one of those dudes, like,

318
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 4: do you lose? Do you lose that over one hundred

319
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 4: and sixty games.

320
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: No, we talk about it all the time, and it's

321
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: it's so nice. Every single it's like we have the best,

322
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: Like we have the best athletes in the game running

323
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: around our field and it's save us who knows how

324
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: many runs, just I mean, like you get creative those

325
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: from the outfield, you get. It's it's the best. I

326
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's probably the future. I think

327
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: a lot of teams are going to start doing that

328
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: because if you can play shortstop, you can play anywhere.

329
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: So if you're versatile, it makes a roster flexible. And

330
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: it says a lot about the guys too, that obviously,

331
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: because every kid, I'm sure they all grew up dreaming

332
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: of playing shortstop, you know, when the World Series as

333
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: a shortstop, and then hey, once you go play right field. Okay, great,

334
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, and now we got Doddie hitting four thousand

335
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: with a bunch of pumps from right field. So yeah,

336
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty special.

337
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 3: There's another one coming, not yet, probably another year or two.

338
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: But Leo Devrez, yeah, relax, Scott good, I mean, that's

339
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: like a long way away.

340
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 4: This team has got like sixty eight players that all

341
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 4: play shortstop. They don't need another one.

342
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: Well, you can play other positions. Yeah, Leo's a big boy.

343
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 3: You probably saw him in spring training, right.

344
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, stud, stud, And don't forget to mention, I did

345
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: play a little shortstop in high school. So there's another

346
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: one stop.

347
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 5: There you go, There you go.

348
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 4: You and I both played shortstop. Todd played shortstop. Tod

349
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 4: want a little world serious if there's anybody playing shortstop out.

350
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,440

00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:24,720
