Speaker 3: We've we've learned to embrace it. It's all good.

11
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: I'll take you. Listen, the year you had.

12
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: They if I had a year like you had last year,

13
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: they could call me anything.

14
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: I wouldn't care a right.

15
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 3: Let's keep doing it until this one.

16
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: I I just gotta say I I pined for you

17
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: for MVP from starting about June until the whole year,

18
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: even when I did your playoff series against the Tigers.

19
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: The home runs you hit, the way you handle the staff.

20
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 1: To me, listen, if you can't win the MVP with

21
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: the year you had, then how is Aaron Judge ever

22
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: gonna lose the MVP? Because you had one of the

23
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: all time greatest years for a catcher, sixty home runs,

24
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: the way you led your team to the postseason, won

25
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: the division. Sorry, you should have been a Gold Glover.

26
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 2: Again. I know who won it, but I.

27
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: For me, you went platinum last year, and this year

28
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: you don't even make the finals, So I don't know

29
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: what else you could possibly do to not win the

30
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: m v P.

31
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: Win a world series. So I mean it's all good,

32
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: you know.

33
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 4: I mean, you know how all that stuff goes down,

34
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 4: it's out of out of uh out of our control.

35
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: So you know, just looking to to be as consistent

36
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 4: as possible, you know, focus on the little things, try

37
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 4: to take it one pitch at a time, win as

38
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 4: many games as possible, and and uh, you know, hopefully

39
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 4: at the end of the year, you know, went in

40
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 4: that ring well will uh suthe a lot of a

41
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 4: lot of.

42
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: The pains, So especially in Seattle, right, Oh yeah, we.

43
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 4: The fans are dying for for for a winner there,

44
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 4: so that you know, we're happy with.

45
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 3: You know, obviously what happened last year.

46
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 4: We were very excited and very disappointed at the same time,

47
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 4: but a huge step in the in the right direction

48
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 4: and looking to to build off of that.

49
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 5: So yeah, I was also on that m VP trained

50
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 5: for you as well too, and I potentially got buried

51
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 5: because you know, Aaron Judge is Aaron Judge. But the

52
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 5: year you had like the catcher position, I mean, there's

53
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 5: never been a better one. So I was tuned that

54
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 5: horn as well. But my question to you is, what

55
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 5: do you remember about that home run in Game five

56
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 5: of the ALCS. I was fortunate enough to be there

57
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 5: covering for the Blue Jays. It was one of the

58
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 5: best atmospheres I had ever seen. And I know players,

59
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,119
Speaker 5: when they're in that moment, they kind of black out.

60
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 5: Do you kind of even remember that moment of how

61
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 5: loud it was and how electric it was in that stadium?

62
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I kind of kind of blacked out

63
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 4: round the bases. But I mean, to me, I just

64
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: more so remember Gino's home run. I mean, I mean

65
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 4: that place was absolutely shaking. I mean the roof closed,

66
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: you know, kind of you know, we weren't giving them

67
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 4: a whole lot to cheer about those first two games there.

68
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 4: You know, the Blue Jays kind of dominated us there

69
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 4: in game three and gave four and they were just

70
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 4: waiting to kind of verse like that, and when it happened,

71
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: you know, that whole inning was was very special.

72
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: And you know that's ah, Like.

73
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 4: I said, it's a lot of people compliment you know Seattle.

74
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 4: You know when they come there, you know how loud,

75
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 4: it is the fans and how great of a place

76
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 4: it is to play. So it was, it was, it

77
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 4: was very fun.

78
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: You guys have expectations now, yeah, especially with the team

79
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: across the street from you guys in Seattle having just

80
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. All right, Yeah, so now there,

81
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: this is kind of a new place for the Mariners.

82
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you guys, I just picked you

83
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: guys to win the American League. I just think you

84
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: guys have a great team Seattle, everything that's going for it.

85
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: What do you have to do to help them? And

86
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: not individually maybe, but what what is your stance after

87
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: the way things ended last year? Did you go into

88
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: the offseason and say, if I only could do X

89
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: y Z better?

90
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

91
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: I think it's I think, to me, kind of what

92
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 4: I mentioned earlier, just the little things, you know, I think,

93
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 4: to me, the game is so it's so driven by

94
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 4: you know, stats and analytics and and things like that,

95
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 4: and it's those are obviously all important, and those are

96
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 4: big chunk of it, but it's the little things that

97
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: went baseball games, you know. You know, I hate to

98
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: say it, but looking and looking at the Blue Jays

99
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 4: like they did the little things just a little better

100
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: us last year.

101
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: And and uh, you know you could say, you know

102
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: that game.

103
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 4: Could have gone either way Game seven, but you know

104
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: it went their way and they were able to you know,

105
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 4: get some two strikes here, hits here and there, and

106
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 4: you know, extend innings, put the ball in play when necessary,

107
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 4: moved the runner.

108
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: Not that we didn't do a good job of next.

109
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 3: I thought we did, especially down the stretch.

110
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 4: But it's little things like that, you know, making pitches

111
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 4: when you have to executing in certain areas, you know,

112
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 4: knowing knowing who to who to go after, who to

113
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: you know, go around. So it's just little things like

114
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 4: that that I think they are going to be, you know,

115
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: unquantifiable in a way that are That's usually where at

116
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 4: the end of the day, the teams in.

117
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: October, those are the guys doing the right thing.

118
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 5: So two questions, oh sorry, two questions for you kind

119
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 5: of on that topic. Obviously you were at a front

120
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 5: row seat to what the Blue Jays were able to do.

121
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 5: Is that a conversation that you guys have had from

122
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 5: like a hitting standpoint of you saw how difficult it

123
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 5: was to just strike them out, and the value putting

124
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 5: the ball in plays. That's something and you think as

125
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 5: a team, you guys are going to implement moving forward.

126
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 5: And on that same note, you did bring in two

127
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 5: new hitting coaches last year. Was there any adjustments that

128
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 5: they brought to you or was it just a matter

129
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 5: of time for you to have their breakout year.

130
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, uh, you know, to that first point,

131
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 4: I think it's it's very important hitting with two strikes

132
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 4: in this game, especially with with the way pitchers are now,

133
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 4: they're just you know, they have great stuff and stuff

134
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 4: is at all time time high. You know, not saying

135
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 4: pitching itself is, but uh, you know, the stuff out

136
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 4: there that's that's being thrown is really really good. So,

137
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 4: you know, just being able to put the ball in play,

138
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 4: being able to do those little things, not not not

139
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 4: giving the other team easy out. So you want to

140
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 4: make you know, all twenty seven outs. You want to

141
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 4: make them work for it, make them field the ball,

142
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: make them make the plays, do things like that. So

143
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: I think we took it definitely a huge step in

144
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 4: the right direction last year, adding you know, obviously those

145
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 4: two hitting coaches and and Edgar taking over at the Helm.

146
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 4: So obviously adding Naylor and Donovan, guys that are you know,

147
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 4: that grind that bats out that you know, find a

148
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 4: way to get those broken bat singles to use the

149
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 4: whole field. It helps extend our lineup. And I think

150
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 4: that's that's kind of what we were missing in a way.

151
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 4: You know, we had a lot of had a lot

152
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 4: of thump, we had a lot of you know, power,

153
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 4: and but we also had you know a little bit

154
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 4: of swing and miss in the game. And and to

155
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 4: kind of compliment that out, adding those guys definitely help.

156
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 6: So all right, we got the Warby Parkers. I got

157
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 6: the Raiders, but one thing that upgraded to polarized, sorry

158
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 6: about it.

Speaker 7: I always want to be with my kids. I got

162

Speaker 9: Cal Logan. Gilbert was on just a little bit ago,

178
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 9: and he says that sometimes he likes when you come

179
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 9: up to him on the mound and give him a

180
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 9: little bit of attitude. And he also said that you

181
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 9: said sometimes you know you should joke with him. How

182
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 9: do you get the most out of your staff and

183
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 9: you're kind of a steward of their career as well,

184
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 9: a lot of different personalities to manage. How do you

185
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 9: find you get the most out of each guy?

186
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean these guys different.

187
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure AJ could probably attest to that

188
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 4: you as a catcher, you're more so, you know, playing

189
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 4: I guess they're kind of Yeah, you're playing psychiatrists in

190
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: a way. You're you know, you're helping them, You're you're

191
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: talking to them, and you know it's uh. I always

192
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: kind of like to explain that you know each guy's difference. It's,

193
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 4: you know, some guys you pat on the butt, some

194
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 4: guys you know you have to kick him in the butt,

195
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 4: and some guys you just leave them alone.

196
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: And and uh.

197
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: Those are kind of the three categories that people fall into.

198
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 4: And and just knowing you know each guy, you know,

199
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 4: hopefully we're getting thirty starts out of our five, and

200
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 4: you know there's gonna be ten starts, so they're really good.

201
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 4: They don't need anything. There's gonna be ten starts. They're

202
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 4: just okay, And there's gonna be ten starts with they're bad.

203
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 4: It's gonna be more so in those twenty okay and

204
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 4: and bad starts. What can we get out of them?

205
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 4: And how can we get them through those innings? And

206
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 4: that's kind of how I look at it.

207
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: I asked, I asked Logan, exactly what you said? I said,

208
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 2: Is he a joker? Like you come out? Do you

209
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: have Cal come out to you a joke? Do you

210
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: have col come out and yell at you, or do

211
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: you have Col come out and coddle you and say

212
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: it's okay, buddy, You'll get through this. And he actually

213
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: said that he wants you to yell at them. So

214
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: next time you go to the mound, just let him

215
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: have it.

216
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: I mean, if whatever he wants pictures, it's always whatever

217
00:08:59,400 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: they want.

218
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: Exactly whatever they want to do. And I then I

219
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 2: asked him.

220
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: I said, one of the most incredible stats I've ever

221
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: seen is that you went the entire year was zero

222
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: pass balls, which is is mind boggling to me. Is

223
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: as much as you play, and the guys with the

224
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: stuff that they have, and as good as you.

225
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: Are framing and moving the ball.

226
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: And so I asked Logan, I said, can you take

227
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: credit for the one you had in the playoffs on

228
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: the split that was like and He's like, oh, you know,

229
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: Cow's got to be better.

230
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: And I'm like, are you kidding me?

231
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 4: I know what one one mistake and get I get

232
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 4: crucified for it. So yeah, I mean I want to

233
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 4: go on record too. I want to, you know, get

234
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 4: the let the world know that Logan Gilbert is not

235
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 4: those splitter it's a fork ball, okay, and that thing

236
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 4: is a complete like yes, it's a beast of a pitch,

237
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 4: you know. I mean it's a it's a massive weapon,

238
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 4: and there's a really tough pitch. You know, you probably

239
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 4: had guys like that you're pushing one that was like

240
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 4: this exactly. Yeah, it's a knuckleball, yeah exactly, And you

241
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 4: know it does some different at times. You're really just

242
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 4: trying to tackle it more so than like, I'm not

243
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 4: trying to keep it a strike.

244
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to move it. I'm trying to just

245
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: catch the ball.

246
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 2: So he said he enjoys getting throwing him in the

247
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: dirt to you too and watching.

248
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's basically throwing long darts out there for much

249
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: half the time.

250
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 5: So he Yeah, so eachro behind you a couple of

251
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 5: minutes ago. You know, having him around, is there anything

252
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 5: you've been able to kind of take from him? Just

253
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 5: seeing him out there every day, the conversations you have

254
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 5: with him.

255
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's great. You know, he's uh, he's an absolute

256
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: work workhorse. I got to actually, I was up in

257
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 4: Seattle a little bit of this off season. I was

258
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 4: training at the field and and the guy's going in

259
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 4: every day, so I got to you know, we were

260
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 4: long tossing, working out hitting together. So it was it

261
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: was a lot of fun. We uh New Year's we

262
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 4: were out there throwing and and uh. It definitely helps

263
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: that you know, he's in such great shape, you know,

264
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 4: having somebody there to to work out with and uh

265
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 4: do all that stuff. And he's just a great, great

266
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: guy to have around. You can ask him questions. He's

267
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 4: an open book. He's obviously one of the best hitters

268
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 4: of all time. So you know, some things maybe uh

269
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 4: you know, only he can do. But you know, it's

270
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 4: always great talking to Ichy cal.

271
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 9: Do you try to save a pitch for your guys

272
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 9: until the second time through the order or you are

273
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 9: attacking with whatever they have in their arsenal from the

274
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 9: first batter of the game.

275
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's a fine it's a fine line, right,

276
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 4: I mean that's actually a good question. I mean it's

277
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 4: a it's a fine line. You know, you want to

278
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 4: you want to use their bread and butter, but you

279
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 4: also understand. I think it's understanding hitters, right, you know,

280
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 4: understanding Uh, you know what kind of hitter you have.

281
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 10: In the boxes?

282
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 4: That hitter a smart smart guy in the sense of

283
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 4: is you know, if you get him out one way,

284
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 4: you gotta get him out another way next time, and

285
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 4: you know, obviously not trying to not do the same

286
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 4: patterns over and over and trying to keep them on

287
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 4: their toes because you don't want to fall into fall

288
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 4: into rhythms and uh, you know, the same kind of

289
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 4: sequences as well. So it's it's a fine line. You know,

290
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: also understanding what the guy's got that day. If he's

291
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 4: got something working and it's going good early, you know,

292
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 4: let's let's hammer that whole uh until uh, until somebody

293
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 4: proves that they can hit it. So also just it's

294
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 4: pitched dependent, you know, a lot of sometimes we got

295
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 4: some East West guys, we got some North South guys,

296
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 4: and uh sometimes it's uh, just just a constant mix

297
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 4: and just continuing to talk to them throughout the game

298
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 4: and you know, what are that what are we seeing?

299
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 4: I think that's the big thing is you know, you

300
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 4: just gotta use to use your eyes. You got to

301
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 4: watch the game. I think you can't just be so

302
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: stuck to a to a plan or a scouting report.

303
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 4: You gotta you gotta make sure you're what you're what

304
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 4: you're seeing is adding up and that you guys talk

305
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: and communicate throughout the game because ultimately, you know, that's

306
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 4: the biggest test is the eye test.

307
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: So you know all that, and then you still have

308
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: to go out there and hit you hit sixty homers.

309
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: So people don't understand how hard it is to be

310
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: a catcher because it's not just about what they see.

311
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: It's all the little conversations like you're talking about scouting reports,

312
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 1: doing this, doing that. Before we let you go, I

313
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: gotta ask you about WBC. Yeah, you're on the WBC

314
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: or the USA team USA, which obviously we're all rooting

315
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: for you, like to win the USA. What's it gonna

316
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: be like for you to have to leave camp here

317
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: for a few weeks and and go away.

318
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 3: Well, I'm I'm super excited obviously.

319
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: I mean, you know all the you know, getting to

320
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 4: wear the USA across your chest and represent your country.

321
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 4: You get to do this, get to be in that

322
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 4: locker room with so many great players. I mean, it's

323
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 4: gonna be crazy just looking around the corner and seeing

324
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 4: the best players in.

325
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 3: The world and just in the same locker room as

326
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

327
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 4: I never got a chance to do this, Like I

328
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 4: never got invited to temsa stuff growing up high school nothing,

329
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 4: So this is a great opportunity.

330
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 3: And and you know, I mean it's I.

331
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 4: Think camp can kind of get along sometimes, and you

332
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: guys can probably attest to that as well. I can

333
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 4: kind of get monotonous and Madane, and uh, it's I'm

334
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 4: excited to to get outside and learn some things and

335
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 4: talk to some guys and and just step away and

336
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 4: it's gonna be fun playing fun real baseball.

337
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: Okay.

338
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: And then last thing, is it true that because you

339
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: caught Matthew Boyd's bullpens that you got him invited to

340
00:13:58,480 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: Team USA.

341
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: I can't take credit. I can't he.

342
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: The fact that you catch bullpens in the off season.

343
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: It also is mind boggling to me.

344
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: No, not many, but Matthew Matthew boy came on here

345
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: and said that you catch his bullpens.

346
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well he's a Seattle guy and he was with

347
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: us for a short stent there in twenty two, so

348
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 4: you know, he's, uh, he's a very good pitcher, very smart.

349
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: You know, he knows what he's doing. He knows how

350
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: to pitch.

351
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 4: You know, he can locate, he can move the ball around,

352
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 4: he can he can attack you different ways.

353
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, but here's the thing. I don't care if

354
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: there who was pitching in Orlando, if they pitched me

355
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: or not. If they call me and say, hey, we

356
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: in the off season, will you come catch my I'm like, no, man,

357
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: I'll pay someone to do.

358
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 2: It, but I'm not doing that.

359
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 3: I'll sit on the bucket for you.

360
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: There you go, exactly.

361
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he he's he's a good guys. He got another

362
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 3: good guys.

363
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, he's a really good guy. I appreciate it. Well, Cal,

364
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 2: thank you very much. We appreciate it.

365
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. Thanks.

366
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: I hope you guys win the World Baseball Classic and

367
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: now your might pick to win the American League, so

368
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure now, thank you appreciate it.

369
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me on.

370
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 9: Guys, if you are just joining us, we are at

371
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 9: Marrier's camp and it is time to talk about the

372
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 9: season preview for Seattle. Here on foul Territory, Alana Rizzo,

373
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 9: n Plar and AJ Pierzinski. Let's look at the key

374
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 9: additions and subtractions. We've already talked to a lot of

375
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 9: these guys today, but this is a good club.

376
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 3: Guys.

377
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 9: Additions Brendan Donovan, Josh Naylor. I love that because of Tucker,

378
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 9: the Pup, Jose Ferrer, Andrew Kinzer and the losses. These

379
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 9: are some significant ones. Apenno Suarez of course, who went

380
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 9: back to the Reds, Belonco, Harry Ford, Caleb Ferguson, Gregory

381
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 9: Santos and Jerangelo. How do you say that? I don't know, Kevin,

382
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 9: you want to try to say that for me?

383
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: Nope?

384
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, since since he's a switch pitcher, he

385
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: does with both hands alona hands. Yeah, he does like

386
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: ninety eight right handed, ninety two lefty. The Mariner is

387
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: only going to make him a righty. So we'll see

388
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: what the Nats do with them.

389
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 3: All right.

390
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 9: Before the season actually begins. So this is a very

391
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 9: good team you guys in the in the AL West.

392
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 9: I'll ask for your prediction, KP. Where did the Mariners

393
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 9: finish in the division first?

394
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 5: Without a doubt? I mean, I think we can make

395
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 5: an argument that this might be the best team in

396
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 5: the American League. I think you know, they took you know,

397
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 5: the AL least and American League champion Toronto Blue Jays

398
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 5: to Game seven. And you know we talked about the

399
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 5: Blue Jays losing in the World Series being four outs away.

400
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 5: I mean, the Mariners were right there. They were a

401
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 5: couple outs away, a couple of strikes away from getting

402
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 5: a chance to go to the World Series, and they

403
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 5: didn't even have a fully healthy rotation in that playoff series.

404
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 5: If you keep these five guys healthy, and you know,

405
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 5: they have a sixth and seventh guy that unfortunately may

406
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 5: have to be pushed in the bullpen or start in

407
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 5: triple A. But I love what they did this offseason.

408
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 5: We see some of the guys that they lost, and

409
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 5: I think they did a great job of going out

410
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 5: and filling those holes at certain positions that where they

411
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 5: lost guys. Bringing Josh Naylor back was huge for this team.

412
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 5: He was incredible for them after the trade deadline. Not

413
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 5: only his ability to play first base and the clutch

414
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 5: hitting and you know his newfound ability to steal bases,

415
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 5: but he just brings such an edge to that team

416
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 5: and I think you ask anyone in that clubhouse, they

417
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 5: were so happy to have him back. Josh Naylor is

418
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 5: just a unique guy that every team needs one of

419
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 5: those guys because he just holds everyone to a different

420
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 5: standard in terms of his intensity and you know what

421
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 5: he brings every day. And bringing a guy in like

422
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 5: Brandon Donovan, who I still think his best baseball still

423
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 5: yet to come, and him to be able to kind

424
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 5: of slide over play third base, potentially fill a hole

425
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 5: in second base, play some corner outfield, and then they

426
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 5: got a young kid that they truly believe in that

427
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 5: could play second base. So you know, I think they

428
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 5: have the team to be able to run it back.

429
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 9: You're not the only one that thinks that. Fan grafts

430
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 9: according to them. As far as division standings, they have

431
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 9: the Mariners at eighty eight point one, and the Rangers

432
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 9: and the Shrows, Athletics and the Angels. If you look

433
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 9: aj at the playoff projections for the Seattle Mariners, they

434
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 9: have a sixty one point three percent chance of winning

435
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 9: the division. They clinch it bye by forty four point

436
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 9: eight percent, they clinch a wild card by just under

437
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 9: nineteen percent, and they make the playoffs. It's a pretty

438
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 9: good percentage in terms of going back to the postseason

439
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 9: at eighty point one percent. Do you are you in

440
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 9: accordance with KP that they win this division.

441
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: I think they win the division by the way, and

442
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: I think they win it easily, and I think they

443
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm going to make a bold prediction

444
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: right now. I think they go to their first World

445
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: Series ever for the Seattle Mariners.

446
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 9: Is that right? Is that because Calson right next to you, we.

447
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 2: Can you can't.

448
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: I don't e think'll can hear me right now, But

449
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that. I think they go to the

450
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: World Series for the first time. I think they have

451
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: the team. I think the ownership will make the Ray moves.

452
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: I think they have the pitching, and they were they

453
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: were close last year, and I think this is the

454
00:18:58,720 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: year where they finally get it done.

455
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 9: What pushes them over the edge.

456
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: I think that I think that the Donovan move I

457
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 1: really like. I think they're starting pitching, will stay healthy

458
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: their bullpen, and you know what the biggest thing for

459
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: me is they've been there and they've done it now

460
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: and they've tasted that success, and I think this year

461
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: is the year they finally get to the World Series.

462
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 9: You said that they're winning the division. Uh, what do

463
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 9: you like about this team or what are some challenges

464
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 9: do you think that they that they need to shore

465
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 9: up to get to where they want to be?

466
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 5: Well, there's obviously something that happens to hitters, you know,

467
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 5: when they go to Seattle. It's a difficult place to hit,

468
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 5: so can Brandon Donovan be the kind of same quality

469
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 5: hitter he had been somewhere else. But really, for me,

470
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 5: it's just health, you know, the health that they're starting pitching,

471
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 5: because for as difficult that it as it is to

472
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 5: potentially hit, and for whatever reason, Cal was able to

473
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 5: make that stadium look small. They don't have to score

474
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 5: that many runs. They just got to play good defense

475
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 5: and trust. And we haven't even gotten to their bullpen.

476
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 5: Their bull is disgusting and they only got better by

477
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 5: bringing over Ferreira from the Nationals. He is a nightmare

478
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 5: to face. Gabe Spier now has a running mate with

479
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 5: another left handed guy in the bullpen, you know, arguably

480
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 5: the best closer in baseball. They have all the ingredients there.

481
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 5: And to AJ's point, they've now been there, they've experienced it.

482
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 5: They were so close, and these guys got a chip

483
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 5: on the shoulder, they're hungry, they've experienced it. I just

484
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 5: know from firsthand experience being so close, what those conversations

485
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 5: were like with my teammates in the offseason and just

486
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 5: trying to get a little bit better and motivating each

487
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 5: other and potentially even getting down to spring training a

488
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 5: little bit earlier because you're just so excited to be

489
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 5: with that group of guys again. And I think the

490
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: Mariners have all the ingredients to get back there and

491
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 5: potentially over the hump.

492
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 2: Mitch Garver lead addition here to Mariners camp rocking the

493
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: seventy seven on the jersey, are you going to be

494
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: a new pulling guard for the Mariners?

495
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 11: It's actually a testament to Luke Jackson. Oh there you go,

496
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 11: good teammate ours we had last year. We had a

497
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 11: blast with him. U seventy No, I was last guy

498
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 11: in camp. Honestly, the club has told me when I

499
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 11: came in, there's either zero or seventy seven.

500
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 2: Dude, go zero.

501
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 11: No.

502
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 2: I didn't want the you don't want to be a zero.

503
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 11: I didn't want the zero zero jokes coming with that,

504
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 11: So I picked seventy seven.

505
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 1: If you make the team, are you gonna switch yes

506
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: back to eighteen?

507
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 10: Yes? Yeah. You and I just talked about this.

508
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but the people don't This is what people

509
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: don't know that we've play.

510
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 11: I said, listen, I'm gonna talk to Cooper Chriswell, I'm

511
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 11: gonna say listen, it's not my choice.

512
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 10: It's my wife's choice.

513
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 11: I need Humber eighteen back because she has all the

514
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 11: stuff with the eighteen on the sleeve and the jackets

515
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 11: and the all the playoff stuff.

516
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 10: She's got it all.

517
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 2: So I said, what's going to costume?

518
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 10: I don't know yet.

519
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 11: We haven't we haven't even talked about that, and I

520
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 11: haven't really thought about it. Just trying to get in

521
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 11: here and get ready for the season.

522
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: Were you you're such It surprised me that you were

523
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: such a late signing. Was that Were you thinking about retiring?

524
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: Was there no offers out there?

525
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 2: Why was it? Why did it take you? I mean something,

526
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: You're an established major league player at an important position

527
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 2: that can hit bombs.

528
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 10: There was you know, there was never any conversation about retirement.

529
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 10: I was.

530
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 11: I feel more prepared now to play than I have

531
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 11: in years. Physically, mentally, I'm ready to go. It was

532
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 11: just a strange off season.

533
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: It was quiet.

534
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 10: There's still players out there that.

535
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 11: Are really, really good major league players, and there's no offers,

536
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 11: there's no talk about signing, you know, any kind of deal.

537
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 11: So I was fortunate to have Cal reach out to me.

538
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 11: He said, hey, just give them Mariners call to see

539
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 11: what happens. So we did that and within twenty four

540
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 11: hours we had it worked out.

541
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 10: So here I am.

542
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like someone who's been in that situation

543
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 5: many times over the last you know, four years of

544
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 5: my career. It's kind of crazy how when you just

545
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 5: have a relationship with a team or a front office,

546
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 5: you can just pick up the phone and call. And

547
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 5: I feel like there's just kind of an issue with

548
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 5: transparency sometimes between agents in front offices. So good for

549
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 5: you for picking up the phone. I feel like that's

550
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 5: how I got my last job in baseball too. I

551
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 5: just picked up the phone and they're like, oh, you'd

552
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,919
Speaker 5: come out to camp, and I'm like, yeah, you know

553
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 5: you you could have called me all You could have

554
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 5: called me all off season. So good for you for

555
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 5: doing that. My question to you is being with cal

556
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 5: the last two years, you know, what have you seen

557
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 5: from him in terms of how he's he's changed and

558
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 5: turned himself into this superstar player.

559
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 3: Uh?

560
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 10: You know, I would say not much has changed.

561
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 11: And that's the special thing about him is he's he's

562
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 11: been probably the most consistent guy I've I've been around

563
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 11: talents there. Obviously, he's a great person, great great human

564
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 11: just his ability to make a game adjustments and he

565
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 11: adjusts really quickly. You know, when he feels something's off,

566
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 11: he's he's able to adjust.

567
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 10: More so.

568
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 11: Impressed with his durability behind the plate, uh, super durable player.

569
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 11: He gets back there. He catches every day, which you know,

570
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 11: you know, it's it's hard to do. Yeah, and you

571
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 11: did it for many years, but it's it's something that

572
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 11: takes a lot of time to learn how to do

573
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 11: and be able to just game plans, adust strategy, go

574
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 11: from series to series, whether you're having success or not,

575
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 11: and continue to get back there and give your best.

576
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 2: What you caught.

577
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: You came up as a catcher and then you kind

578
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: of went away from catching and just became a DH

579
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: Was that hard?

580
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 10: It was very hard. It was very hard.

581
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 11: And the reason it started was in twenty three when

582
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 11: I was with Texas. We couldn't find anybody that really

583
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 11: had success in that DH spot, so I slotted in there.

584
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 11: I had a knee injury earlier in the year I

585
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 11: slotted into the DH spot, had won a ring by

586
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 11: the way, I want a ring, that part of it.

587
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 11: Bank had a little success on the second half of

588
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 11: that year and and just you know, from that point on,

589
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 11: I was dhent, but I really missed it. In twenty four,

590
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 11: I really missed it. Came back to catching, and you know,

591
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 11: catching this staff here in Seattle has been awesome. I

592
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 11: love working with these guys. They're super talented, We're deep

593
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 11: and pitching. It really is a lab and we continue

594
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 11: to pump out quality starters, quality arms every year.

595
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 5: Yeah. I wanted to follow up on that too, you know,

596
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 5: talking about you went in a World Series in Texas

597
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 5: and then being so close and getting the World Series

598
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 5: last you talk about the kind of similarities between that

599
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 5: team and you know, two thousand and twenty three and

600
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 5: the team you were on last year, and probably a

601
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 5: big reason you wanted to come back.

602
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's it starts in the clubhouse. It's it's a

603
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 11: tight group of players. Everybody's so talented, and there's talent

604
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 11: all the way across the league. But it all kind

605
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 11: of determines, you know, what the clubhouse is like, what

606
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 11: are the vibes in the clubhouse. Can guys show up

607
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 11: to work every day and be excited, and that's that's

608
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 11: a big thing. Sometimes it's hard to go to the

609
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 11: park every day you're like, man, I don't want to

610
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 11: do it. But when you have a group that's this tight,

611
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 11: you show up every day. Everybody wants to pull for

612
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 11: each other, and everybody wants to play, whether you're in

613
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 11: the lineup or not.

614
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: When you went back to catching, was it twenty four

615
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: you went back. I remember, yeah, Service was still the

616
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: manager here and I had a conversation when I had

617
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: a Mariners game and Cal was Cal had caught like

618
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how many games a run.

619
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 2: They didn't really have anyone. You were the only catcher,

620
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: and he said, we're gonna let Mitch get back there again.

621
00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: Was that awesome for you to get back?

622
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: And they like phased you in like it was spring training, right, Oh,

623
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: you can only catch five innings, Hey, you can only

624
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: catch five innings before you and then it was like

625
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: six innings and then seven innings.

626
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 10: Yeah, it was uh yeah, it was in early part

627
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 10: of the year. I went back there.

628
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 11: In my first game, I caught George against Houston at home,

629
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 11: and George had a great game.

630
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 2: He pitched really well.

631
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 11: But I came out when George came out, so he

632
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 11: I think he went six innings and I came out

633
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 11: with him and uh. You know, in the next game,

634
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 11: I was supposed to go like seven or eight something

635
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 11: like that, and we ended up playing extra innings in

636
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 11: Kansas City.

637
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 10: So I caught like eleven.

638
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 2: Oh nice.

639
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, so I just got thrown right back in there,

640
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 10: no problem.

641
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 11: And uh, well, you know, cal catch was five six

642
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 11: days a week, so I had enough time to run.

643
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: It was the first foul ball, like I hadn't had

644
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 2: it for a while.

645
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 10: You know, I don't remember. I don't remember.

646
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: Did your teammates give you like a standing ovation when

647
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: you came out with George?

648
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 11: No, No, it's uh, it was business as usual, okay.

649
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 11: You know I think I was. I was super proud

650
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 11: that I was able to get back there and catch them.

651
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 11: And it was hard because I'm working with a new staf.

652
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 11: It was brand new to me. I didn't really catch

653
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 11: anybody like that, so it was nice.

654
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: Though they gave you George, they didn't give you Logan

655
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 2: throwing splitters or fifty two foot splitters. You know.

656
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 11: They all got to do is put up my glove

657
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 11: like this, Georgia, you any knuckleballs, he always throws one

658
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 11: in the bullpen, but.

659
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 2: He didn't throw any any gain, not that night. That's awesome.

660
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm looking on paper right now. If all five

661
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 5: of those guys are healthy, I mean, is this It's

662
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 5: obviously the best pitching staff in baseball. I've never seen

663
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 5: anything like it, you know, being in that division in

664
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 5: twenty three. Luckily I was right handed, so I didn't

665
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 5: have to face these guys. But what a nightmare for

666
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 5: for hitters. When all the five of those guys are healthy.

667
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 10: It's it's a lot of different looks. You know.

668
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 11: We we in Seattle have prided ourselves on being able

669
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 11: to throw strikes, get ahead of guys, attack the zone

670
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 11: with all of our best stuff, and they all do

671
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 11: it really well.

672
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 10: And it's not just all five of them. I mean,

673
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 10: there's more behind him.

674
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 11: We got Emerson Hancock, who was big for us last year,

675
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 11: stepped up when we had a bunch of injuries. They

676
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 11: got a couple of young kids coming up that are

677
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 11: have some really really big stuff. You know, we're talking

678
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 11: about Kate Anderson and Sloan We're talking about guys that

679
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 11: have upper nineties fastballs and not just one fastball, but

680
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 11: two or three, which is so unique and it's very

681
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 11: hard to replicate.

682
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of talent in this organization. Do

683
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 2: you think they're gonna bounce back? Because everyone talks about

684
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 2: long playoff run hangover, especially your bullpen Munos and in

685
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 2: Brabrash and Spire and all those guys. I mean, they

686
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 2: threw a lot of innings and a lot of innings

687
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: deep into the year for longer than they ever had.

688
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: Do you think they're gonna be fine right coming back?

689
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're gonna be fine.

690
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 11: And they have the WBC, So I look at it

691
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 11: as kind of a way to kickstart the season, not

692
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,239
Speaker 11: as much as a as a negative, more so as

693
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 11: a positive. They get to play in that competitive environment

694
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 11: earlier earlier in the season, got a few additions as well.

695
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 11: Obviously got fer air over from Nationals and that track.

696
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 11: He's he's nasty. He's got the upper nineties sinker, big

697
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 11: leftended arms, so that'll help Gabe out a little bit,

698
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 11: take take a little bit of leverage off them.

699
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 10: And there's just more arms. There's more arms.

700
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 11: I haven't got to catch everybody in spring yet, but

701
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 11: there's always going to be more.

702
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 1: You love WBC, though, You're going to get a lot

703
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: of a batch with cal going right. Yeah, I mean

704
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: as much as sometimes as you're like, oh, the picture's

705
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: got to go pitch for you trying to win a job.

706
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: Him going to the WBC is an opportunity for you

707
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: to get back there, learn the new guys, and get

708
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: a beast to show yourself up.

709
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 11: Absolutely, I'll get a lot of playing time. And not

710
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 11: only that, I mean I love watching WBC as a fan.

711
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 11: I think it's a great event. I'm excited to watch

712
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 11: my teammates compete, go out there and play meaningful games

713
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 11: and February and March and it'll be fun to watch.

714
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 5: When you when you decide to come back to Seattle,

715
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 5: is there a conversation with the front office if Mitch

716
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 5: Garver does X in spring training, he's going to make

717
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 5: the team, or you just kind of know what you

718
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 5: have to do to make the team.

719
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 11: I know what I have to do, and you know,

720
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 11: nothing's going to be given to me. I got to

721
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 11: go out and win the job. And I think I

722
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 11: have the advantage in a good way because I know

723
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 11: this staff so well. I know the organization and how

724
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 11: they like to play, and that gives me a little

725
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 11: bit of an edge. But I still have to go

726
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 11: out there and perform. You know, you can't walk out

727
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 11: there and just be a body. You have to go

728
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 11: out there and hit, and you got to play well,

729
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 11: and you got to be positive, and you have to

730
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 11: lead the staff and show that you can do all the.

731
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 10: Things that you need to do.

732
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm excited, KP. He's got me excited. Vibes here

733
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: high in Mariner's camp and Mitch wish you the best

734
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 2: of luck. Hopefully you get that eighteen back.

735
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 10: That's right, let's go get it. Thank you, AJ, Thanks KP.

736
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 5: Good seeing you.

737
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 9: And today, guys, we are checking out the American League

738
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 9: Pennant odds. You can see it there. The favorite are

739
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 9: the Yankees at plus four twenty five, the highest ticket

740
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 9: percentage the range or excuse me, the Tigers at twenty

741
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 9: point one percent, the highest handle percentage Blue Jays at

742
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 9: twenty eight and a half. Essentially, and the biggest liability

743
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 9: is the White Suck so AJ break this down for us, obviously,

744
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 9: I know what the favorite meets? What what? What?

745
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: What can we show that traffick again the biggest biggest

746
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: That means if the White Sox win the al penant,

747
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: that the bet MGM is going to lose the most money.

748
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 2: Right, That's how we take.

749
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: That's what I would Damn, someone's got a lot of

750
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: confidence in the White Sox. I ain't gonna lie people

751
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: that many people bet on the White Sox to win

752
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: the penant Oh, let's go White Sox.

753
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 9: What's highest handle percentage mean?

754
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 2: I mean two has the most.

755
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 5: That means the most people have probably bet on the

756
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 5: Blue Jays. Is That's what I'm assuming in the highest ticket.

757
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: I don't really know.

758
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 5: I don't know the betting lingo. Maybe I should have.

759
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're scott, I know how to bet, I just

760
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: don't know the lingo, right, So I know with that.

761
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 5: Though, do you believe that the Yankees should be the

762
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 5: odd thing over the Blue Jays after what we saw

763
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 5: last year? And I could even make an argument that

764
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 5: the Tigers potentially would be the next team, next team

765
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 5: I would put maybe below the New.

766
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 9: J's About the Mariners?

767
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about this team right here? What about these guys?

768
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: They've they made some nice moves. They brought back Nailer,

769
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: they they are starting rotations intact. Their bullpen is nasty

770
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: and by the way, they added one of the nastiest

771
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: lefties from the Nationals for Forerrero.

772
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it wrong.

773
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: So Ferrero, the lefty from the Nationals, who's just absolutely disgusting.

774
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: They brought in Brendon Donovan. I mean, listen to Mariners.

775
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: They don't forget the Mariners were one pitch away from

776
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: going to the World Series and beating the Blue Jays,
