And I've also been in, you know 90 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 5: with the A's a little bit here the past few years. 91 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 3: And kind of a lot of younger guys and in. 92 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 5: The position of being one of the older guys already. 93 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 5: So just looking forward to kind of taking that under 94 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 5: you know, just getting going with that and sleeping by 95 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 5: example as anyway I can. 96 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 9: What does that look like building your innings up? You 97 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 9: had ninety two last year. Obviously, you haven't eclipsed a 98 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 9: one hundreds since your first two years in the big leaues. 99 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 6: What does that look like? 100 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 9: Because no player and maybe you can tell me if 101 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 9: I'm wrong, but no player goes in the off seat. 102 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 9: Is like, you know, if I just have a mediocre 103 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 9: first half, like you're working out and you're like, dude, 104 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 9: I'm gonna kill it the first half. I'm probably gonna 105 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 9: make the All Star team. I got fifteen starts under 106 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 9: my belt. What does that look like in the sense 107 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 9: of like, oh man, I want to get thirty starts, 108 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 9: but I haven't done that in a bit where you 109 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 9: know you're gonna go into uncharted territory. And what kind 110 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 9: of conversations does the team have about that? Are they like, yeah, 111 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 9: we'll take thirty starts, but we'll trade you halfway through 112 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 9: the year. 113 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely, you know, one of those things you're 114 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 5: thinking about, just the reality of the situation, how it 115 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 5: kind of pans out. 116 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 4: For me. 117 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 5: In my mind, going from ninety or so innings and 118 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 5: getting towards like one fifty doesn't sound that crazy, just 119 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 5: because in my mind I've always been, you know, a 120 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 5: starter and all that kind of stuff obviously, just haven't 121 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 5: done it, and that's kind of that's where we lean 122 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 5: on the off season prep thee strength and conditioning, all 123 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 5: that kind of stuff. 124 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 4: And also just like. 125 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 5: The way I've been pitching, especially last year, it's been 126 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 5: a lot less stressful. Finally, kind of flipping it from 127 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,480 Speaker 5: when I used to throw to AJ and throwing a 128 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 5: lot more strikes and keeping things in the zone and. 129 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 4: Actually pitching it is definitely gonna make it a lot 130 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 4: less stressful. 131 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, strikes are each show.

I think in the Braves seventeen eighteen, 149 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 5: I was starting to get rolling and then kind of 150 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 5: just hit some speed mumps and never got to do 151 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 5: that where I was sewing up in. 152 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 4: Camp and knew what was gonna happen.

So there's some familiar faces that will help 162 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 5: get it going. And then I spent some time with 163 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 5: the Cubs, so I loved Chicago and that was kind 164 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 5: of one of the appeals looking at. 165 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 4: Both those teams a free agency just good city. 166 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 5: That I was familiar with, and then again similar situation 167 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 5: to being the older guy again after I was that 168 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 5: the past couple of years and just looking forward to 169 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 5: getting going with a young group. 170 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 9: Can you explain to us as a free agency process 171 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 9: because normally there's not just one team. When a guy 172 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 9: gets a big league deal, it's not quite the same offer, 173 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 9: but everybody's you know, people will say, well, why did 174 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 9: you choose the White Sox over you just talked about 175 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 9: the Cubs too, like what is that? 176 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 6: What's that? 177 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 9: What did you prioritize when teams were coming after you? 178 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 9: Because we all know there's collusion and the numbers are 179 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 9: all the same, but each situation is completely different. 180 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was that was the tough part, was kind 181 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 5: of going through the situations and seeing, you know, the 182 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 5: reality of them. Maybe it's like, say, if I were 183 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 5: to sign back in Boston and the starters that they 184 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 5: do have and all those different kind of things, just 185 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 5: where you fall in the debt chart. And that was 186 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 5: the biggest thing I think, was looking just for opportunity 187 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 5: to kind of you know, build on the ninety two 188 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 5: innings last year, and you know, like you said before, 189 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 5: trying to get to those thirty starts and everything. That 190 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 5: was the main goal obviously, aside from money. And then 191 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 5: like you said, with the collusion and everyone just you know, 192 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 5: absolutely low balling and everyone coming in at the same 193 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 5: exact number somehow and all these different things. So that 194 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 5: was that was my first time dealing with it. It 195 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 5: was eye opening, even more than you already d already 196 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 5: kind of had an idea. But for me to number 197 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 5: one thing, it was just opportunity. And then you know, 198 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 5: just being around those young guys, like I was saying, 199 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 5: we'll hopefully we'll kind of. 200 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 3: Build together and have a good year. 201 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 9: How was it going to Sacramento last year? After pitching 202 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 9: the Colisseum we heard what Seve said, Luis Savarino said 203 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 9: about the mound. How tough was that and was that 204 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 9: really something? And did it improve part way through the 205 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 9: season once they started listening to pictures and how to 206 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 9: improve the mound? 207 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 5: Let's say the game man might have got a little 208 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 5: bit better. Super inconsistent though, like even like the bullpen mound, 209 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 5: if you went out there, it's not it's not your 210 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 5: typical clay. It's not your typical like red or brown clay. 211 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 5: It was like this black, chunked up material that just 212 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 5: would you know, you felt like it was the seventh 213 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 5: inning after you threw ten pitches kind of thing. 214 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 4: And that's just I mean. I actually was with the 215 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 4: River Cats. 216 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 5: And Sacramento in twenty three with the Giants for a second, 217 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 5: so I was familiar with the area and what you know, 218 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 5: just like the way the facilities were. 219 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 4: They didn't make too much too many changes other. 220 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 3: Than kind of just prettying up the. 221 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 5: Pads around the walls. They put a little building in 222 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 5: the left corner for the clubhouse and all that stuff, 223 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 5: and they definitely did the did the least they had 224 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 5: to do to kind of get it ready. But like 225 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 5: you said, the coming from the coliseum, things were so 226 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 5: outdated there it was kind of hard to get a 227 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 5: good grasp on it. Especially for the dudes who don't 228 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 5: have any other experiences. You kind of feel for them 229 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 5: because they're playing in the triple at Ballpark and you 230 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 5: heard Sevy talk about it. With just the inconsistencies. You 231 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 5: go on the road and you're like, God, this is 232 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 5: what the show is, and then you kind of go 233 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 5: back to Sack. But I think they did a good job. 234 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 5: You know, Cotts and the crew did a good job 235 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 5: keeping everyone kind of just focused on baseball and focused 236 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 5: on each other and not worrying about those kind of 237 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 5: little things. 238 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 2: You know. 239 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 5: Hope, I hope for all those views that they do 240 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 5: get out of there and get to Vegas and that 241 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 5: all goes smoothly so they can all experience the full 242 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 5: the full show. But overall it is pretty wish you 243 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 5: wash it. It was an ideal. 244 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 9: How would you explain it the full show? Because people 245 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 9: will say, oh, well, they got to go to the 246 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 9: Big League's eighty one games. How would you explain it 247 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 9: to those guys who are like, yeah, you know, eighty 248 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 9: one big League games on the road is different than 249 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 9: eighty one big League home games. 250 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean just I mean, the biggest thing is 251 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 5: the clubhouse isn't even connected to the dugout, so you 252 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 5: got guys waiting for half innings to run down the track. 253 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 5: So that just the image of that alone pretty crappy looking. 254 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 5: And then just the lack of the second and third. 255 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: Deck just a feel for that. 256 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 4: You know, he's playing Division. 257 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 5: You show up in Texas, Seattle, you walk out, you 258 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 5: look up and you see you know, the roof, and 259 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 5: you can just feel the atmosphere versus you just kind 260 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 5: of step out and sack and you just have like 261 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 5: your you know, the one level it's like one hundred 262 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 5: and five degrees and everything just feels like burned out. 263 00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 3: So, I mean, it's still the show. 264 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 5: You know, you're still getting your paycheck, You're still getting 265 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 5: treated well in the clubhouse with the staff and the 266 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 5: you know, with all these good players and everything, but 267 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 5: it definitely misses just a little touch of, like guess 268 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 5: aid the show. 269 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: Sean, do you feel like you had an advantage that 270 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: team has a lot of young arms and at some point, 271 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: I mean early on actually in the season, the pitching 272 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: kind of fell apart for four to six weeks, and 273 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: that knocked the A's out of the playoff contention. If 274 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: you take that out, which you can't do, but if 275 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: you take that out, the rest of the year like 276 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: they were pretty good. 277 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 2: You go over there, your numbers were freaking sparkling, right. 278 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: This is how you know it turned into the interest 279 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: that you had in the off season, the success you 280 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: had over there. Do you think any of that had 281 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: to do with you being able to maybe handle some 282 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: of the you know, crappy parts of being in a 283 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: minor league park, or do you think it just had 284 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: more to do with some tweaks that you were making, 285 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: whether it's pitch mixeror otherwise. 286 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I was talking about the adjustments I made when 287 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,839 Speaker 5: I got to camp and Boston, just finding I wear 288 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 5: my offspeed kind of play, and I learned a little 289 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 5: more about my singer, which has been new the past 290 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 5: couple of years, and that you know, I went into 291 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 5: my five starts felt really strong. I feel like usually 292 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 5: for me, it's like a fifteenish innings or so, and 293 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 5: then I really kind of get rolling, and that's where 294 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 5: I was at about you know, maybe twenty innings, and 295 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 5: then kind of got shoved in the pen once everyone 296 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 5: got healthy and I was still feeling really good about stuff. 297 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 5: So I had had some like four or five inning 298 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 5: outings out of the pen where I felt like I 299 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 5: did really well, and then you know, everything kind of 300 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 5: fell into place there where you know, they had to 301 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 5: make some moves, got moved over to the athletics, and 302 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 5: I kind of just knew where I was at, knew 303 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 5: the team.

They 374 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: were pretty damn good. 375 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 7: I would I would think so, I would hope so 376 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 7: at least, But you know, it's a sometimes there's not 377 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 7: all the what's on the back of the baseball card. 378 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 8: So you know, I'm just again trying to. 379 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 7: Be good and do whatever I can to get myself 380 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 7: that job when I get the opportunity, make sure I 381 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 7: don't let it go through the fingers. 382 00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 8: You know, the old thing. 383 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 9: Stuff when when you're talking to these teams or when 384 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 9: they start calling, or if they started calling, do you 385 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 9: set like a deadline, do you set a deadline to say, 386 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 9: you know what, if it's just minor league jobs, maybe 387 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 9: I'll try Japan. 388 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 6: Or is Japan out of the question. 389 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 7: I still feel like I can produce and be a 390 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 7: good impact in the in the major League. So for 391 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 7: right now, I just want to focus on doing what's 392 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 7: over here. But you know, like if that's the route 393 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 7: that we take, you know, we go over there and 394 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 7: we make some money and put up some good numbers 395 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 7: and we come back. But I haven't quite dove into 396 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 7: that discussion yet with my agents. So but you know, 397 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 7: it's you hear a lot of good things about what 398 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 7: goes on over there, for for American players or foreign 399 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 7: players that go over there. 400 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 8: So it's definitely kind of intriguing. 401 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 7: You hear a lot of guys want to talk about it, 402 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 7: play there a year or two when they're done playing 403 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 7: and and stuff. But you know, it wouldn't be a 404 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 7: I wouldn't be opposed to it. 405 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 6: Think about the legend that you could become in Japan. 406 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 6: Think about like you could be the new mister Baseball. Right, 407 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 6: you'd have to shave your beard, you could get the mustache. 408 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 6: You could be the next Tom Selick. But think about 409 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 6: you walking up to the plate, because there's not an amount 410 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 6: of guys in Japan that are your size. So when 411 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 6: you walk up to the plate and you start mashing 412 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 6: homers there, you could be a legend in Japan. Not 413 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 6: that I don't want you to play an MLB, but 414 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 6: I'm just thinking like even after, like you get your 415 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 6: ten years in and you're like, oh, maybe I can 416 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 6: play a couple extra years and you just go over 417 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 6: there and start launching nukes over the fence left and right, 418 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 6: and they'll just I mean they'll have cheers, all kinds 419 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 6: of cheers for you. 420 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean that would be. That would be pretty cool. 421 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 8: Like that would be. 422 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 7: That was like what I was saying, like I feel 423 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 7: like I can still produce over here. And then on 424 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 7: the backside, get enough time, you know, and you go 425 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 7: over there and you play a couple of years and 426 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 7: get to enjoy it. But you know, you hear a 427 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 7: lot of things like that when these players go over there, 428 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 7: like they love Big Poppy, they love the big the 429 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 7: big guys, I guess, and I'm a little more squishier 430 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 7: than most. So I think they would really take to 431 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 7: the to that part, the. 432 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 9: Big, big poppy and big squishy. 433 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 6: I like that. 434 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, the big the big squishy. 435 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,120 Speaker 7: Oh no, now see, now you're gonna get that mex 436 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 7: the the Texas Rangers team whatever they were, that radio team. 437 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 8: They're gonna start calling me new nicknames now. 438 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 9: So so yeah, that's so. That's so last year, but 439 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 9: we're talking about next year. Sometimes in the off season, 440 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 9: when you're sitting there as a minor league free agent, 441 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 9: big league free agent looking for just an invite to camp, 442 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 9: do you ever get any feedback of, Hey, you know what, 443 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 9: we saw, what you did, the changes you made when 444 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 9: you went to Texas, all that stuff, but we didn't 445 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 9: like this. Do you ever get feedback, hey, you know what, 446 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 9: if you could change this, would that be helpful to you? 447 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 7: I bet you My agents have I stick a little 448 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 7: bit removed from it and just focus on what I 449 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 7: can control. But you know, like looking at it and 450 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 7: being a self evaluator, like you, got to look at 451 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 7: certain things. I think for me would probably be the 452 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 7: walks I don't I didn't walk a ton. You know, 453 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 7: there's something that I'd say if those were just a 454 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 7: little bit better, I bet you being a way different position. 455 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,440 Speaker 7: But you know, as a self evaluator, you got to 456 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 7: look at things and be honest with yourself. And I 457 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 7: think that was probably the biggest part of my game 458 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 7: that could have used the most, you know, change, And 459 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 7: I think that's something that the soft season we've done 460 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 7: with just pitch recognition, taking VP and treating it more 461 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 7: of like seeing what pitch I want, being honest with 462 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 7: myself if I swung at the pitch and VP that 463 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 7: I wanted to even if it was a good swinger 464 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 7: or not, like making sure I was really diligent about 465 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 7: that side of the work. But you know, as you 466 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 7: get older, you start to master things. And I think 467 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 7: that's one thing as I get older, like I need 468 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 7: to be better at So if I were to be 469 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 7: evaluating myself, it would be just the walk aspect pitch recognition. 470 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 7: But you know, I still want to do damage and 471 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 7: I still know I can do damage. So sometimes you 472 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 7: hit the ball out of the zone and it goes far. 473 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 7: Sometimes you just swing a miss, But I definitely can 474 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 7: be better in some parts. 475 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 6: When you talk of teams, are you talking playing first base? 476 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 6: Are you talking as d H. You know, platoony d 477 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 6: H kind of guy. What what do you think your 478 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 6: role would be better suited as? Because I'm sure you'd 479 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 6: like to play first base. But if team comes, he says, hey, 480 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 6: what should be our full time? 481 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 8: DH? 482 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 6: Would you accept that? 483 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 8: I think, you know, I just want to play in 484 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 8: the big leagues. I want to. 485 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 7: I still, like I said, I know I can impact 486 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 7: the team. I still believe my glove. I still believe 487 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 7: I can play play the field. You know, I gotta 488 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,479 Speaker 7: be the biggest target in baseball to throw to at 489 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 7: first base, so that's got to be a plus for 490 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 7: some infielders. Still trust my hands picking the ballfield and 491 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 7: ground balls, you know, like working big on some some 492 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 7: first step stuff this offseason. But I think ultimately, like 493 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 7: I would love to play first But whatever a team 494 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 7: needs me to do is I'm gonna. 495 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 8: I'm gonna do it. You know, I just want to. 496 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 7: I just want to win games and impact the guys 497 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 7: positively and be kind of a presence there, whether they 498 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 7: need me to talk to the young players or or. 499 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,239 Speaker 8: You know, just do whatever they need me to do. 500 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 8: I'm down to do it.
