Speaker 3: This is your first this is your first time out here.

25
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, it is nine the first nine in Florida

26
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: and then now here for the first time where we

27
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: live in the off season.

28
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: So it's been semi. Did you get Cassemi.

29
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, first year was in Cassemi and then we moved

30
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 4: down to west On Beach.

31
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 5: A little better than Cassemi. For people that I don't know,

32
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 5: it's a little bit of an upgrade. His hosabilities are

33
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 5: slightly what you like here in Chicago, land in Mesa

34
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 5: with its Sloane Park, with the Cubs fitting in, everyone

35
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 5: treating you, everyone nice to you.

36
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been it's been great. I think it's a

37
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: it's a great group of great group of guys. Organization

38
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: has been first class since the minute that I began

39
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: talking to them in this offseason.

40
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 4: So I feel like the mindset's in the right place.

41
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 2: We've been extremely efficient here during spring training and everybody's

42
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: been getting their work in.

43
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 4: So looking forward to uh getting it started.

44
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 6: How long was that process when they first contacted your

45
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 6: agent or you know, when you first started talking to

46
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 6: the US this offseason, because a lot of people think

47
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 6: it happens either in two days or it happens the

48
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 6: entire offseason, and we have no idea what the process

49
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 6: is like.

50
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, we Larry shout right away right when the season ended,

51
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: and then uh kind of stayed in touch throughout throughout

52
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: November and December, and things started to heat up in January,

53
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: and uh I was fortunate enough to get a get

54
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: a deal done.

55
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 5: Everyone just assumed you're going back to the Red Sox,

56
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 5: like it was like, oh, Ragmand he did great, they

57
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 5: have money, They're a big market team. You're just gonna

58
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 5: go back to the Red Sox. I was surprised that

59
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 5: you didn't go back to the Red Sox. Were you

60
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 5: surprised and you don't have I would love for you

61
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 5: to answer, you don't have to, though. Was the not

62
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 5: trade thing a thing? Was that really a thing? Because

63
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 5: because that was like what everyone said was the reason

64
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 5: why you ended up in Chicago and now Boston and

65
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 5: the owners of the Red Sox, well, Bragman wanted to

66
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 5: be here, he'd be here right.

67
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: So was that was that a thing or was just

68
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: not a thing?

69
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 7: Well?

70
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: I think first and foremost, I loved I loved the

71
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 2: year in Boston. I love playing for ac unbelievable friend

72
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: and also a manager, and my teammates there were incredible.

73
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if if I look back at the

74
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: beginning of free agency, maybe a little surprise, But for me,

75
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: this whole, this whole process, the the Cubs really showed

76
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 2: that they valued what was important to my my wife, myself,

77
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: our family, and I couldn't be more excited to UH

78
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: to be able to raise Knox and Bennett in in Chicago,

79
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: and I'm looking forward to it. I feel like beginning

80
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: of the free agent process, for me, it was really

81
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: important UH to be in a place that I felt

82
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: like I could win, and Chicago definitely checked that box.

83
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: And I feel like this group UH already made a

84
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: deep postseason run last year and I looked forward to

85
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: adding to it and doing my piece and and helping out.

86
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 6: Do you feel like you're leaving one of your superpowers

87
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 6: in Boston though, because I feel like anybody can look

88
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 6: at your baseball card and go through this. Dude's had

89
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 6: an unbelievable career. But everything that people talked about this offseason,

90
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 6: anybody that's ever played with you, they're like, Breggie's superpower

91
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 6: is he makes other players better, especially younger players. When

92
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 6: you talk about the rookies that they had up there

93
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 6: in Boston, So do you feel like you can still

94
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 6: do that here with more of a veteran team and

95
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 6: a few younger guys mixed in.

96
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like it's gonna be a little bit different, obviously,

97
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: being around a bunch of guys that have been in

98
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: the league for a long time, and I think it's

99
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 2: just baseball conversations. I feel like the best teams I've

100
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 2: been on have communicated the best with one another. They've

101
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: talked the game, They've helped each other improve at the game,

102
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: whether it's hitting, defense, running the bases, whatever it may be.

103
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: I feel like teams that communicate, teams that prepare to

104
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: go out there scut are are the best teams that

105
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 2: I've been on. And I think those conversations are already

106
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: starting here here in camp and just attention to detail

107
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: and focus on focus on getting a little bit better,

108
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 2: one percent better. And I feel like all these guys

109
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: heads are in the right spot and I'm excited to

110
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 2: be a part of this group.

111
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 4: And it'll be a little different, but it'll, uh, it'll

112
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 4: be good.

113
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,039
Speaker 5: Danzy Swanson's on this team. Does he let you know

114
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 5: that he was drafted as ahead of you in the draft?

115
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 3: Oh?

116
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, first meeting, UH, when it was time to introduce,

117
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: uh introduced guys to the team, he definitely let me know.

118
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 4: It's great.

119
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 5: So no hard feelings because you know you were too,

120
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 5: because you were in the second pig.

121
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, not at all, not at all. He let me

122
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 4: know that.

123
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: He let me know he was taking first overall and

124
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,239
Speaker 2: that Vanderbilt won the national stamps.

125
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: It's been good, it's been good. Banter all around camp.

126
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 5: Okay, that's good. That's good to you know. We're not

127
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 5: taking it too personal at all, because you know it's good.

128
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 5: I like, it's awesome. Uh, you just opened a facility here, right,

129
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 5: Why did you do that? And the people that don't

130
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 5: know if you want to give a little plug. Is

131
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 5: it only for professional guys? Can anyone come in?

132
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 4: No?

133
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: And like old retired guys like me come in and

134
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: take some swings.

135
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 4: Oh, for sure you could come in.

136
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

137
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 4: We launched Nemesis this offseason.

138
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: We wanted to create a one stop shop for guys

139
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 2: to come get physical therapy, strength and conditioning, skill specific work.

140
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: We got a nutritionist, sports psychologist, massage therapist, cairo all

141
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: in one place. And I felt like my first few

142
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: off seasons here, I was working out in North Scottsdale

143
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: and driving two hours down to Mace at a HIT

144
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 2: and then by the end of the day, I'd be

145
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 2: by the end of the day, it'd be five o'clock.

146
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: I'ld be a longer workday than during the season. So

147
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: I felt like we wanted to put all of everything

148
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: that you would need in an offseason in one spot

149
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: and be able to have incredible baseball minds in there

150
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: just talking the game. And I feel like I feel

151
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: like all the guys that came in would tell you

152
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 2: that the baseball conversations were great. I feel like a

153
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: lot of people learned a lot from other guys. I

154
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: know I did getting to pick the brain of Matt

155
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: Chapman and Ryan McMahon about playing defense at third base,

156
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: and just created a great clubhouse atmosphere, and hopefully this

157
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: next offseason will get bigger and bigger and better and better.

158
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 6: You got the facility, so you got everything. Taking care

159
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 6: for the off season, what do you What did you

160
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 6: work on this offseason so that you can have a

161
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 6: better year this year or do something that you wish

162
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 6: you were able to do the last few years that

163
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 6: you now can do this year.

164
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: Well, I think I think first and foremost got to

165
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: take pride in being available and got hurt last year,

166
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: so I wanted to make sure that I was healthy

167
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: for one sixty two in a postseason run, so really

168
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: locked in on the strength conditioning and physical therapy and

169
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 2: just making sure my body was in a good position

170
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: to succeed. And I think the two things that I

171
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: want to work on for sure this year is lowering

172
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: my swing rate, getting it back down into like the

173
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: thirty thirty five to thirty nine range. I felt like

174
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: I was swinging a little bit too much the past

175
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: few years, and that's not necessarily being passive, it's just

176
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: being more like aggressively selective at the dish and then

177
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: also making contact further out in front of home plate.

178
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: From April through about May fifteenth, when I got hurt

179
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: last year, I was making contact back out in front

180
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 2: of home plate where I was making contact in twenty

181
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: eighteen and twenty nineteen and had probably the best month

182
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: and a half stretch of my career. And when I

183
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 2: came back off the il, my contact was a little

184
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,239
Speaker 2: bit deeper, and I think a lot of that was mechanics,

185
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: but hopefully trying to couple those two things of swinging

186
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 2: at good pitches that I can do damage on and

187
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 2: making contact out in front of home plate to do

188
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: the damage.

189
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 5: All right, thank you for joining us. But before I

190
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 5: let you go, I have to ask you one question.

191
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 5: Is it unfair that LSU has Ain's and Marucci backing them?

192
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 5: Do you feel like they have an unfair advantage in

193
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 5: NIL because of those two companies?

194
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 4: Not at all.

195
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: They also got Jay Johnson, who is the man. So

196
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 2: I think that, uh, I think that down in down

197
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 2: in bat and Ruge, they love baseball and they're definitely

198
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: going to support their baseball team.

199
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 5: So do you support them more than Kratz supports his

200
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 5: universe one hundred percent?

201
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: I don't even know what who is Kratz's university.

202
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: Eastern Mennonite Universe?

203
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 4: Yes, definitely.

204
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 3: Have you given one dollar to l s U?

205
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 5: Yes, and then you've already You've already won, You've already

206
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 5: won up on Crafts.

207
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 8: It's so true.

208
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 6: At least at least I went to college, and I

209
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 6: give my college that I went to.

210
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 3: Okay, good, all right, Greg Me, thanks buddy, you have

211
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: a great year. Appreciate it.

212
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: The number one rated ticketing app is seat Geek, and

213
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: you can get ten percent off on seat geeks app

214
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: by using the code territory ten, so you should use it.

215
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 5: AJ Oh, I'm definitely gonna use it for WBC games

216
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 5: in Jammy because I want to go to the semifinals.

217
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: In the final, they're gonna be sold out.

218
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 5: Absolutely gonna go spring training games for the people out

219
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 5: there who want to go to spring training games. Absolutely

220
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 5: great idea, best seats radar one through ten. And I

221
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 5: recently had to use sea geek to buy tickets to

222
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 5: a Florida Gators basketball game that was sold out. So

223
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 5: I love the code Territory ten percent off and the

224
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 5: rating is the best.

225
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 1: Yes, he's talking about each ticket rated on a scale

226
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: of one to ten, so you know you're getting a

227
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: good deal. So look for the green dots. Green means good,

228
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: red means bad. And of course we have a code

229
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: for you. Like I mentioned, it's Territory ten for ten

230
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: percent off your next set of tickets at se geek.

231
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: That's ten percent off any tickets with promo code t

232
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: E R R I O R Y one zero. Make

233
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: sure you click the link in the description and download

234
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: the app and have the code automatically added to your

235
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: account so you can use it later. Thank you to

236
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: see geek. He led the Cubs and Dingers last year

237
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: thirty four than Michael Bush joining us right now the

238
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 1: food over there in Arizona, sitting next to AJ Michael.

239
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: Great to have you on the show. Thanks for the time.

240
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 8: Man.

241
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: How's the off season or how was the off season?

242
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: And then how's spring training for you? With some fresh faces,

243
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: do you feel like this team has, you know, even

244
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: more energy than it did last year, say with some

245
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: of the moves that they made too.

246
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I appreciate you having me on here.

247
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: I think absolutely.

248
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 10: I think just adding obviously a guy like Bregman who

249
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 10: you know, have only known him for a few weeks now,

250
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 10: but just just a gamer. You can go into defense, offense,

251
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 10: space running the guy. You can tell he's just had

252
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 10: a lot of experience and kind of gets the game

253
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 10: and obviously has had a lot of success in playing

254
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 10: this game and especially in the postseason.

255
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: Are you the leadoff hitter?

256
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 5: Has Count said, you're the leadoff because when you went

257
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 5: to leadoff, you took off and the team took off.

258
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: So were you the leadoff hitter this year?

259
00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 10: That's kind of wherever my mindset, you know, has alway,

260
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 10: he's been just wherever where wherever they want to spot me,

261
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 10: I'm going to try and do my best at just

262
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 10: given a quality at bat, and you know, just trying

263
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 10: to give our our team the best chance to score.

264
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 9: When I'm at the place.

265
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: You like hitting lead off?

266
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 10: I do, I do. I also like hitting other places,

267
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 10: I think. I think for me, I've never really hit

268
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 10: lead off. I hit a little bit of lead off

269
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 10: in college, but I never really had much experience lead off.

270
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 10: I think one thing that I've learned is just like

271
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 10: I love, you know, just having you know, just trying

272
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 10: to I'm really good at honing in on my at

273
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 10: bat and just having the at bat, no matter if

274
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 10: it's the first at bat, fourth at bat. But also

275
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 10: there's that added effect of like you kind of get

276
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 10: to set the tempo for the game and not always

277
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 10: does it go the way that you want it to,

278
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 10: but like it's kind of a little nuanced to my

279
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 10: game that I've kind of like accepted and kind of

280
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 10: have enjoyed.

281
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 6: All Right, put this argument to rest, then, because this

282
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 6: is a conversation in different cities, not necessarily just Chicago.

283
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 6: In Philly, Kyle Schwarber was leading off. You know, a game,

284
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 6: Kyle Schwarber does dingers and on base percentage shoe heyo,

285
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 6: Tani is the best player on the planet. Maybe not

286
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 6: the best hitter, but the best player on the planet.

287
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 6: He had fifty dangers back to back years. Does it

288
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 6: really matter you only hit leadoff once? People think it's

289
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 6: like this, like, whoa, he's the leadoff hitter. You're getting

290
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 6: up again and you're not leading off again.

291
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think, you know, it's just kind of like

292
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 10: it's obviously a little different in the pieces that you

293
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 10: have for each team, but you know, again, like entering

294
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 10: that leadoff position for me, I told myself it was

295
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 10: kind of hard. But like I told myself, I was like,

296
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 10: I'm not going to change any anything I do at

297
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 10: the plate.

298
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 8: You know.

299
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 10: You know, you get a lot of talks about it,

300
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,599
Speaker 10: you're gonna swing at the first pitch, or you're not

301
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 10: going to swing at the first pitch. I'm like, I'm

302
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 10: probably just gonna like feel out the game, you know,

303
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 10: if there's a long inning, you know, in the top

304
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 10: of the first Like, I think there's situations like that

305
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 10: where I'm not gonna swing at the first pitch. But

306
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 10: at the same time, like if I got a guy

307
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 10: that I'm ready to be aggressive, and I'm going to

308
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 10: continue to be aggressive ittom no matter, you know, if

309
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 10: it's leading off the game, it's my third at bat

310
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 10: in the in the sixth inning, just trying to like

311
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 10: have my at bat, like they put me as a

312
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 10: as a leadoff hitter.

313
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 9: Not you know, Michael Bush is a leadoff hitter.

314
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 10: It's like, I'm just kind of in the position and

315
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 10: try to have my at bat and be myself.

316
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 5: So when do you decide if on opening Day, if

317
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 5: you're in the leadoff spot, that you're gonna swing or

318
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 5: not swing at the first pitch?

319
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: Just like do you have a one, two, three inning boom?

320
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 5: The crowd's going crazy and wriglely Yeah, and you walk

321
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 5: up there and you're like, I'm tasting myself.

322
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 3: I'm feeling it. What's your walk up song?

323
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 5: Uh? Okay, so fifty boom hits on those speakers at Wrigley.

324
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 5: You're like, I'm going I'm gonna go deep first pitch

325
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 5: like you did in the playoffs all those times.

326
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

327
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 10: I mean again, that's the situation where it's like I

328
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 10: don't I don't want them to just have you know,

329
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 10: get me over fastball. I mean that could be the

330
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 10: best pitch. Rapper did it one year.

331
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 5: I remember Happer first pitch of the season, like the

332
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 5: whole season went deep in Miami, So you got some pressure.

333
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 9: Yeah for sure. Yeah, that was the first pitch first

334
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 9: the whole year.

335
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I mean I would Hey, you know, you

336
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 10: never know, but I'm definitely gonna be thinking about it.

337
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: Hey, like Michael Wile, I love while AJ is pumping

338
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: you up. I'll add on here. So, Uh, last year,

339
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: big offensive season, I think, and many others did. Got

340
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: slighted for the All Star Game. Uh, thirty four homers,

341
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: one forty seven ops plus led the team the whole deal.

342
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're a little underrated around the

343
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: league in terms of being a household name. I say

344
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: that even with the WBC when we when we were

345
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, players to add to the mix.

346
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: There a lot of Cubs fans that watch our show,

347
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: where like Michael Bus should be getting more consideration and calls.

348
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right, we're starting to hear this

349
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: pretty consistently. Do you feel like the league sleeping on

350
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: you a little bit?

351
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 10: I think that's like that's one thing I try to

352
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 10: balance each and every day. I think the human part

353
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 10: of me always, you know, wants to you know, be

354
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 10: the best I can hand, and you know, just deserve

355
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 10: playing time, deserve certain things. But also like I'm trying

356
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 10: to focus on each day and you know, as much

357
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 10: as I think about last year and like the growth

358
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 10: that I felt like I made, like I got to

359
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 10: wipe that one clean and start this year and just

360
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 10: you know, try to try to keep growing and keep

361
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 10: continuing to get better, no matter what accolades, no matter

362
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 10: the individual things that come. Like just trying to get

363
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 10: better because ultimately, you know, we're trying to bring a

364
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 10: World Series back to Chicago, and you know, I don't

365
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 10: want to put obviously I have goals for myself, but

366
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 10: I don't want to put any limitations on myself. And

367
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 10: you know, the individual stuff, I think for all of

368
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 10: us players, like it's really cool to see, you know,

369
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 10: the All Stars that we have, the gold Glovers around

370
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 10: the diamond. You know, guys getting cy Young votes, Pea

371
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 10: getting MVP votes, Like all that stuff is like super

372
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 10: awesome and cool for us as collective group. But like

373
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 10: I think for me, just like shoving that off in

374
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 10: a way and just trying to grow each and every year,

375
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 10: no matter the individual success, no matter the accolades, that come.

376
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 5: But yeah, you were a Dodger originally, originally a Dodger.

377
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 5: Now you're with the Cubs. You saw what PCA said.

378
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 5: I'm sure about the the Dodger fans and you know

379
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 5: the Cub fans.

380
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: You know both because you played for both.

381
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 5: How good are the Cub fans as far as being

382
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 5: there for you showing up every game win or lose.

383
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 5: They have to play that dumb song after you guys

384
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 5: win every time?

385
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 3: What does that mean? He was a player? Like we

386
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 3: said that, they're.

387
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 5: All after you to be on the All start team,

388
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 5: to be on the WBC.

389
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think, I mean, I kind of just got

390
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 10: chills thinking about it because it's in Chicago. There's there's

391
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 10: really no place like Grigley. And you know, the fans

392
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 10: from the moment that I've got here, you can just

393
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 10: tell that they're they're a different breed. They show up,

394
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 10: they understand the game, they want to win, they show

395
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 10: up for us. I'll never forget my first year when

396
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 10: showeda you know, he's in the sixth inning, he's stilling

397
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 10: to no hitter and he was like a eighty five pitcher,

398
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 10: so he was kind of up there in the sixth

399
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 10: and he came out for the seventh inning and he

400
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 10: gets like a standing ovation and you know, you don't

401
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 10: really see that very often. Obviously, guys don't no hitter

402
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 10: in the seventh inning. But like Wriggley's on their feet

403
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 10: understanding that he's hitch Limbit's high. He still has three

404
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 10: innings for a no hitter, Like they just like get

405
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 10: the game in a different sense.

406
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: But it's because they're all drunk.

407
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 5: Okay, let's let's also not forget they're all drunk by

408
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 5: the seventh inning. They're all drunk. Okay, so sorry, sorry Cubs.

409
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 5: I love you cup fans, I love.

410
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 3: Them, I love you guys adults.

411
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 10: But yeah, it's just it's great love Wrigley. And then

412
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 10: they to think that they could take it up a notch.

413
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 10: It was hard to fathom, but like being able to

414
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 10: experience October and them being able to take it up

415
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 10: a notch was like awesome.

416
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 9: I think it just gives us players, like, obviously you.

417
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 10: Want to focus on today and and and the season

418
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 10: and regular season and spring training whatever. February twenty fifth,

419
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 10: but like, man, we're we got to go to for October,

420
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 10: not only for us, but for the city of Chicago, while.

421
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: Aja brought up the Dodgers. One more question on that front,

422
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Tucker goes from your squad to LA. I want

423
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: to focus on how he was for a year there.

424
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: I felt like in the off season when there's a

425
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: free agent, then everyone kind of gives their takes, slices

426
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: and dices, and one of the takes was like, oh,

427
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: he doesn't want it, or you know, he doesn't care enough.

428
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: What were your experiences like with someone like him, and

429
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: how would you explain, you know, how different someone like

430
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: him is versus say and Alex Bragman. There's different levels

431
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: of how someone expresses themselves, how they communicate, how they

432
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: act as a teammate. But curious, you got to spend

433
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: a season with him, what that was like, and how

434
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: you'd explain that to someone if they called you and said, hey,

435
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: what do you got on Tucker?

436
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah?

437
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 10: I think you know, Tucker was a great teammate and

438
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 10: he was always out there, always working hard, always playing hard,

439
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 10: you know, always giving a tremendous player, but like a

440
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 10: great teammate, he worked hard. And you know, it's hard

441
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 10: to say like obviously they're they're just they're two different people.

442
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 9: As we all are like.

443
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 10: We all have our own little routines, our ways to

444
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 10: go about our day. But I think just like very

445
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 10: similar in the way that they play. I think they

446
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 10: came up in the same organization, played on the same team,

447
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 10: but they play super hard. But they definitely have their different,

448
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 10: you know ways in doing things in the cage. And

449
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 10: but I don't think for any player that that's you know,

450
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 10: right or wrong. I think everybody kind of grows up

451
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 10: and figures out what works the best for them the

452
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 10: ability to perform and the ability to stay on the field.

453
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 10: And I think, you know, Bregman and Tucker do it

454
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 10: at a super high level.

455
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 6: If he had called you in the offseason and said, hey,

456
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 6: you know what, the Dodgers are calling me and asking

457
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 6: me maybe i'll sign there, what would you have told

458
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 6: him about the Dodgers organization that you remembered from.

459
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 10: Being there, if Tucker called me, Yeah, If Tucker had

460
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 10: called me, yeah, I think.

461
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 9: You know, just the people over there, you know, we're

462
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 9: we're great.

463
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 10: And I think you know, I'm a I'm an advocate

464
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 10: for Chicago now, but I think you know, he's He's

465
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 10: ultimately gonna make a decision that's best for him and

466
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 10: his family. But yeah, I think any team who can

467
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 10: add a guy like Tucker is only gonna make themselves better.

468

Speaker 3: You were a little young when you were. I was

473
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,320

479
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,399

00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 3: Can you grow side?

481
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,760

Speaker 10: Tory Hunter though, and Johanns Santana were guys that like

485
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,640

486
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 10: Santana every time he took them out.

487
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 9: And I remember in the backyard trying to throw.

488
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 10: His little circle change and you know, gripping it like

489
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 10: he did, making it, you know, not go that way,

490
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 10: but that way.

491
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,160

Speaker 5: cause he's from Minnesota. I don't know if you knew

499
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 5: that enough. I don't know if you guys played against you.

500
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,600

536
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 11: the Cabrera pitch, and you know, they're amazing players, and

537
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 11: I think having them on my team, I think me

538
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 11: and myself like I can level up as a player too,

539
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 11: So I'm really excited.

540
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 5: Does Bregman does Bregman hit good off of you? Did

541
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 5: Bregman hit good off of you?

542
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 3: Or do you know?

543
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 7: I think it was the must.

544
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 12: Done this one thing. I don't know.

545
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 7: I was still m Yeah.

546
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 11: I faced him last year and he always maintains his

547
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 11: like a swing never really like no matter what happens,

548
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 11: he always gets his best swing off and he's always

549
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 11: waiting for his pitch.

550
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 7: And so you know it was it was a tough bet.

551
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 3: Did he get a hit?

552
00:24:59,280 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 7: He threw that must?

553
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 5: That guy the Mama you remember, don't. I know he's

554
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 5: gonna say, I don't remember. He remembers, he remembers.

555
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 3: Nine.

556
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 7: He didn't get a hit.

557
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 11: But there are a couple of pitches that he hit

558
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 11: that you know, if if it moved a little bit,

559
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 11: you know, I would have dropped it.

560
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 5: He didn't get a hit, that's all the matter. He

561
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 5: didn't get it hit, That's all the matter. Your velocity

562
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 5: was up in your first spring start. Is that something

563
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 5: you worked on this offseason camp.

564
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 10: Game?

565
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 12: Did you even know?

566
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 7: Yeah? I means something I looked into an off season.

567
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 11: You're looking at my mechanics and making sure, Okay, what

568
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 11: parts of my body do I need to train, making

569
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 11: sure mechanics wise there's no energy loss or anything like that,

570
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 11: and then just maintaining that and so hopefully like in

571
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 11: a game situation. My vello was up and that was

572
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 11: a result of my goal is to maintain that.

573
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 6: What were some of the areas that you saw were

574
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 6: some energy losses? Like, what were some of the specific areas.

575
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 6: Was it in your legs?

576
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 8: Was it in your core?

577
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 7: Was it in your back?

578
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 12: I know, Joe hanshing know, just got out. So Joe

579
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 12: Hans k cool.

580
00:26:58,640 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 7: Yeah.

581
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 11: So it's when my right foot planted, working up that

582
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 11: kinetic chain, you know, to my arm, upper body and

583
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 11: then my fingertips. I think what I was looking at

584
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 11: was when it was landed. I was just using my

585
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 11: upper body, so just making sure once I plant my

586
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,239
Speaker 11: right foot getting that energy transfer from the ground all

587
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 11: the way up to my fingertips.

588
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:18,720

626
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 12: I know, I don't know, so I know Karida.

627
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 4: The Shi.

628
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 11: Hiking the next uh, because I wouldn't say, you know,

629
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 11: they're underrating them. I think, you know, with m l B,

630
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 11: there's gonna be a lot of changes that are gonna happen.

631
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 11: So I think there are factors of that involved. And

632
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 11: then regarding you know, the players, like I mean, they're

633
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 11: superstars in Shapain and they're fantastic players, and Murakami and Okamoto,

634
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 11: I mean they've hit many home runs off of me,

635
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 11: so I think in their contract, I mean, you know

636
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 11: some of the home runs and they hit off me

637
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 11: was that we're in there.

638
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 7: So you know the fact that added.

639
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 3: Go White Sox. By the way, go White Sox, White,

640
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: go White Sox.

641
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:22,440

644
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 11: got a lot of hits off of me, So I

645
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,200
