1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: We have sec triple crown winner here from his college state,

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: Mississippi State, Brent Rooker, who you know, he also signed

3
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: a nice extension last year. You know he's old news

4
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: though because of sodas from of Jacob Wilson. But he's

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: still got a smile on his face and don't tug. Listen.

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: You don't think that coaches are looking every pitch at

7
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: pitchers for tips. Listen, what does Aldo do for you guys?

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: He's I wasn't the doug out, but he's looking. I

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: think I think everybody's always looking, whether or not there's

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: always something to find.

11
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 3: Is a different thing always looking?

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 4: Did you agree with what Vinnie said? Rook?

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 5: So, Vinnie told us the other day he's like, and

14
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 5: obviously he's generalizing a little bit, but he's like, sometimes

15
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 5: you'd see a base coach not talking to his runners,

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 5: like the whole game, and he might have a different

17
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 5: job that day.

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, maybe if there's if you know, going

19
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: to the game, there's there's something to look for, or

20
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: even a base running tip trying to steal a base.

21
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: Obviously first base coach walking in on that. But I

22
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: think for the most part, you have a good idea

23
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: going into the game, whether or not there's a.

24
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: Tip to look for it just based on video stuff.

25
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 3: At this point, I've.

26
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: Always want to know this DoD teams choose AI to

27
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: try to determine. I would assume anything.

28
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, you got to think. So if you

29
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: line up images next to each other and it kind

30
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: of spits out what the differences and the similarities are,

31
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: I would think.

32
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 3: They'd be a good tool to try to utilize.

33
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 6: I don't know.

34
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: I was murdered that with the AI revolution that's kind

35
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: of happening all over the world. Do you think in baseball, Yeah,

36
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 1: a team would figure out how those are close to you.

37
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: Know, the Yeah, I would. It makes sense. I mean,

38
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 2: it's not much today I can't do at this point.

39
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: So I would assume you could line up videos and

40
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: I will tell you if there's something there.

41
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: Are you a big tip guy? Not when you go

42
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: out to eat.

43
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: Yes, I am when I go out to eat, But

44
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: what I am in terms I'm not good at finding them,

45
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: But like, if we got them, I want it. I'm

46
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: not like I'm not one of the guys who's like

47
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: I don't want to know what picture is coming on.

48
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: But you're one hundred percent. I was always I want

49
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: to know. If it's one hundred percent and it's early,

50
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: then yes, But if it was one of those you know,

51
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: sometimes you get guys to say, oh, I got his

52
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: pitches and it's so minuscule, and you're you're.

53
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: Staring, You're like, yeah, there's some that are tough to

54
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: and you know, and when you get in the box

55
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: with the first two pitches, whether you see it or

56
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: whether you can't see it, if it's I don't need

57
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: it to be one hundred percent, If it's like seventy

58
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: five eighty percent, I'll take my chances there. I think,

59
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: if there's an eighty percent chance I know a pitch

60
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: is coming, I'll take those odds.

61
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: And for me, it was always I'm sure Todd was

62
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: the same. For me, it was more about my takes, right.

63
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: It was like if a guy had a split, yeah,

64
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: then I just didn't want I wanted to know swing

65
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: it right? Yeah, for sure, Todd? Or am I awfu

66
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: on thinking that?

67
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 7: No?

68
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 8: Agreed, But you give me sixty percent. As I got older,

69
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 8: I would take sixty percent.

70
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 6: Yeah.

71
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: If hard kind of clue, I'll take it.

72
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, dude, listen, you give me five pitches and only

73
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 8: two are right. Hopefully I'm hitting one of those two

74
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 8: and I could you know. And the main part about

75
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 8: it is if you say yes, you can't go back

76
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 8: being mad at the guy that gave you the shift.

77
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.

78
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 2: Definitely give me said you gotta be well, yeah, I

79
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: mean you're not gonna get a hundred per normally, so

80
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: you gotta be okay with the one being wrong and yeah,

81
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 2: you know, wearing it.

82
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 5: Hey, you don't want to be that guy while we're

83
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 5: on this rook just one other because we talked about it,

84
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 5: I think yesterday. So now the umps are going to

85
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 5: be able to check on pitches between innings, not live right,

86
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 5: like you have your challenges that you use. But if

87
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 5: the yump just wants to get a feel and was like, yeah,

88
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 5: that was a close pitch or I want to get

89
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 5: a feel for how I'm looking today with this zone

90
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 5: with this pitcher starting, then he can check in in

91
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 5: between innings.

92
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 4: Do you like that? Yeah?

93
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: I do.

94
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: I mean it's not like that isn't that wasn't happening before?

95
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: Like umpires, Oh, ask the catcher right like when he

96
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: comes back out, like hey, you watched the video, was

97
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: it there or even? Like, if I disagree with to

98
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: strike three call, I'll be like, hey man, I'm gonna

99
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 2: go look at it and i'll let you know my

100
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: next about I'm gonna let him know whether it was

101
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: there or not. So it's not like they're not they

102
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 2: haven't been getting information. This just kind of makes it

103
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: a little bit easier for him. So I think it's

104
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 2: a good move for sure.

105
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: What's your rate on the ABS? Have you guys had

106
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: your ABS meeting yet?

107
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: We had our meeting this morning. We haven't. I've never

108
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: used it, so only time I've used it is when

109
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: it was like full A, BS and Triple A.

110
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: In twenty two.

111
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: So I haven't used the challenge system yet. I have

112
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: an idea of my zones, Like I'm pretty good knowing

113
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: if it's off the plate away or if it's down.

114
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: The up and the end ones are a little sketchier

115
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: for me, so I'll probably save if I do challenge,

116
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: I'll use them for pitches away and down. Knowing that

117
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: I have a normally have.

118
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: A better ideas is going to allow you to be

119
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: one of the challengers.

120
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we're we're full go. Everybody's allowed to

121
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: to begin. I will adjust if we need to. If

122
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: if somebody's really bad at it, they might have their

123
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: rights revoked. But going into the season he.

124
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: Challenging anymore.

125
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 6: I think you guys will agree.

126
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: Like if you were you discovered that you yourself.

127
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: Early bat at it, I'd be like, all right, I'm

128
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna shut it down because I'm sick of

129
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: being wrong and getting embarrassed.

130
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: Up on the scoreboard. That's good, it's a good call.

131
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

132
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 5: I think you're also going to see some guys like

133
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 5: do this and some guys like do the very emphatic

134
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 5: because last year you couldn't do it at all. Obviously

135
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 5: it didn't exist last year, but we saw it a

136
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 5: few times and that led to an injection because we

137
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 5: knew that was kind of showing up the umpire. But

138
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 5: year anyway, all right, let's talk about camp, dude. How

139
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 5: does everyone look. I talked to we talked to Katte

140
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 5: earlier in the show, and the team has a really

141
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 5: nice core.

142
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 4: I think that's been established. There's also some guys now

143
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 4: that have some security and you can speak to that.

144
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 5: So what is that like when a player now shows

145
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 5: up to camp and he had a little bit of success.

146
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 5: Now he's got some money in there, some cash in

147
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 5: the pocket, and he can just go out and not

148
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 5: worry about anything but his game.

149
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great.

150
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: I mean I've been here for since twenty three obviously,

151
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 2: so I've kind of seen the full scope of my

152
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: first spring training. When you walk in and there's like

153
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 2: ten position player spots up for grabs. In the second year,

154
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 2: there's six position player spots up for grabs, and the

155
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 2: third year there's maybe three or four, and then you

156
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: come into camp this year and it's like, you know,

157
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: for the most part, like we know what our lineup

158
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: looks like, we know what our position player corps looks like.

159
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: We know who's going to play wherever, you know who's

160
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 2: going to hit where. And when you couple that, like

161
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: you said, with the financial security did some guys have,

162
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: now it's a comfortable feeling. It's it's an exciting feeling

163
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: because you know that, uh, the extensions that have been

164
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: given out just kind of reinforce the fact that we

165
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 2: as players think we have the right group of guys

166
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 2: here to do what we want to do. And and

167
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: you know, the front office and ownership locking guys down

168
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: just kind of shows that they believe the same thing.

169
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: So it shows that, you know, we're all on the

170
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: same page. We all believe the same things in terms

171
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: of the direction we're headed and the things we can

172
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: accomplish with the group that we have, and it's a

173
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: it's a good feeling.

174
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 3: You're on camp right now.

175
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: Talk about the new guys.

176
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 3: Jeff McNeil, Jeff's great man.

177
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: He's gonna that's such a boost to our lineup in

178
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 2: terms of depth and length and a guy who can

179
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: play really good defense all over the diamond. The guys

180
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 2: want a batting title, a guy who's played deep in

181
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: the playoffs, guy who's kind of done at all. So

182
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 2: he adds experience, He adds another hitter similar to Jacob Wilson,

183
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: and that you're not going to strike him out, which

184
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 2: is which is huge, you know, kind of being surrounded

185
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: by all the power that we had with other guys. So,

186
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: I mean, Jeff's a massive edition. I think he's gonna

187
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: he's gonna.

188
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 3: Yeah.

189
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: Bullpen guys Mark Savali, Scott are gonna be you know,

190
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: add a lot of experience down there too. So we're

191
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: looking forward to seeing what they can do as well.

192
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: Guys have had. Success is always a good thing.

193
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: I have a few off of Scott, not this, not

194
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: in camp. No, I haven't seen him in camp. I've

195
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: seen Savali and I've seen Barlow in games in the past.

196
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 2: I don't think I've seen Mark, but I have not

197
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: seen him in camp yet. No, you need some some

198
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: trash dog, some first head experience. I haven't. It's been

199
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: I saw Scott last year. I think he threw me

200
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: a first pitch sinker and I had jammed it in

201
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: the right field for a single. But that was I

202
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: think that was the last time I faced one of

203
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: our new guys in a game or in any kind

204
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: of live situation.

205
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 8: So there's been a lot going on, you know, a

206
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 8: new UH player association guy and Bruce Meyer. There have

207
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 8: been a lot of talks about him coming up and

208
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 8: now he's finally getting his time. A little bit unfortunate

209
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 8: circumstances that went on. But Chris Bassett a guy and

210
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 8: next guy. He talked a little bit about salary cap

211
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 8: and I don't know if you saw his comments, but

212
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 8: I don't know if you know, would you like to

213
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 8: elaborate on what you think too about salary cap and

214
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 8: everything else of what MLB is trying to implement here

215
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 8: in the next upcoming year.

216
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, salary caps are designed to suppress wages

217
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: so olds can make more money. And that's pretty much it.

218
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: That's the only goal behind them. They're not trying to

219
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: accomplish anything else besides that. So that's not good for players,

220
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: that's not good for the league, that's not good for

221
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 2: competitive ballance or parody. So we're you know, we're not

222
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: going to tolerate that being implemented into our game.

223
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: That was like the best answer ever of just I

224
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: just this is it. This is what I feeling. You

225
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: major feelings know on Twitter, which I actually love. I

226
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: think I'm happy I didn't have Twitter because I was

227
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: gotten too many fights with people. But you handle this

228
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: so professionally when people come at you, you're really good at.

229
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: I try to have fun with it, you know. At

230
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: the interactions are always I mean, some are more hostile

231
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: than others, but if you can handle them in a

232
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: respectful way, that also kind of lets people know that

233
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 2: puts them in their place at times.

234
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: I think it's it's a.

235
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: Good boat place in the world. And if you can,

236
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: like you said, laugh at it. Yeah, it's gotta be

237
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: the most place just because everyone has a voice people

238
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: that shouldn't have a voice. Yeah, no one ever comes

239
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: on there and be like, rook Man, you're awesome. Thanks,

240
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: thanks for saying that when you suck you got that

241
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: game this, and that it's like non stop all year long.

242
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 5: What hey, Well, while we're on that, I want to

243
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 5: bring up the latest tweet. So it was from about

244
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 5: a week ago, you know it, and I know you

245
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 5: said that you were done thinking about it on Twitter,

246
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: but we haven't gotten your verbal response to it. And

247
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 5: it was fun, right, someone was talking with using comps

248
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 5: with you, and and Judge and O'tani.

249
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 4: You were all over there too, right.

250
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 5: I think the tweet started at Otani is a closer

251
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 5: hitter to Rooker than he is, judged by way it

252
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 5: runs graded plus over the past two seasons. And then

253
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 5: you said, if anyone needs me, I'll be spending the

254
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 5: next four to six hours trying to decide if this

255
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 5: is a compliment or an insult.

256
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 4: I liked that.

257
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good. I mean I and I appreciate

258
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 2: when I tweet things like that and people like jump

259
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: in trying to explain to me, like what the guy

260
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 2: was trying to do, and I was like, look, I.

261
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: Understand what he was trying to do.

262
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: I didn't need the actual explanation that I was just

263
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: making the fun, lighthearted joke. I didn't need you actually

264
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: explaining to me the reference in comparison he was trying to.

265
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 3: Make you guys. But I do appreciate it.

266
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I walk away from it being like,

267
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: those are two not bad guys to be in the

268
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: same sentence with when it comes offensive production.

269
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 3: So I'll take the compliment. Thank you.

270
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: Look at here's the compliment.

271
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, I've done enough to be thrown in

272
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: the conversation, thrown in the same sentence, the same tweet

273
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 2: as those two guys who were clearly the best in

274
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: the world.

275
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: So I'll take it absolutely.

276
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: Speaking of one of the guys's best in the world,

277
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: Mark McGuire, has he been here yet?

278
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: I have not seen Mark yet this year. He was

279
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: around last year, and he was aroun during the season

280
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: some too, but I have not seen.

281
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: Him yet this year.

282
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: Have you had conversations with him?

283
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: I have.

284
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 3: I have picked his brain.

285
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 2: He's a very fun guy, very generous with his time,

286
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 2: very generous with his wisdom, So he's always fun to

287
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: have around, looking forward to see.

288
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: He got you to try this little waggle that he

289
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: had when he played.

290
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: He hasn't, but I'm I'm all forward if he thinks

291
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: that he'll do something, and he also like a huge

292
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: he swung a huge babbitt looks so little.

293
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it looks.

294
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: I mean, the waggle makes it even look kind of

295
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: smaller because it's just like he's using all wrists and

296
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 2: forums up there and hitting it for nine miles.

297
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 3: So I don't have that. I can't do that.

298
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: But any advice Marks willing to give me, I'm gonna.

299
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna listen to.

300

Speaker 1: Will you watch the WBC for sure?

301
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll be written for your guys. Absolutely.

302

Speaker 1: You have guys on Brazil, you have guys on Dominican.

Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be cheering for individual success of my guys

Speaker 1: Okay, what happens if it comes down to Dominican and

00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 5: Nice Hey on Sevy real quick, cause I asked Kante

315
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 5: this question too. I mean, I'm trying to do math

316
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 5: of yeah, take out May. I know you can't do that,

317
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 5: but like, let's say you have a normal May as

318
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 5: a team, and then you're in the mix for a

319
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 5: wild card spot. The other factor for me is that

320
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 5: Luis Savorino is a really good pitcher. It's a veteran,

321
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 5: he's been there, he knows what he's doing. If you

322
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 5: get even close to those road numbers at home, you're

323
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 5: gonna win a lot more games. So I know it's

324
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 5: not your job, but how does that happen?

325
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I think Sevy coming into this year is

326
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 2: going to be much more comfortable in the situation. He's

327
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 2: going to know what to expect. He's going to have

328
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: less adjustments to make obviously in terms of his routine,

329
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: whether it's pre game, during the game, whatever. So I

330
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: think he's more comfortable and more settled in than I

331
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 2: expect him. I mean, he's looked really, really good in

332
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: his lives so far from what I've heard so I

333
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: expect him to go out and be at the caliber

334
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: pitcher that he can be and lead his pitching staff

335
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: in the way that he's very capable of.

336
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 3: So I'm excited to watch him.

337
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 8: I know Aj asked this question to Katie, but I'm

338
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 8: going to ask you too. I think it puts a

339
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 8: lot in perspective. Once you're in spring training on you've

340
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 8: seen everybody. Is there a youngster right now hit or

341
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 8: wise that You're like, oh, okay, I could see this

342
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 8: guy coming to help this squad, maybe this year, maybe

343
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 8: next year, maybe in a couple years that are just like.

344
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 7: Boom, batting practice looks real good. The guy brings it.

345
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 8: Is there anybody you know on the top top of

346
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 8: your tongue right now that you can say.

347
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: Kurts doesn't count. We already established the Kurts is good.

348
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: We can move on from ose. I like Henry Bolty,

349
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 2: a lot man, big outfield. They're really athletic, a lot

350
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: of tools, can go get it, can fly, a lot

351
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: of power. Still really really young. Put up some numbers,

352
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 2: good numbers in the in the minor leagues last year.

353
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 2: So I think he's the guy who's going to develop

354
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 2: and into a really good player in the next few years.

355
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: Before we let you go. I saw you came in

356
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: all snazzed up in your uniform. You walked past me,

357
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: didn't talk to me. It's fine, I get it, you're

358
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: going your green shirt.

359
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: I was probably in a bad moved. It was like

360
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: six forty five and I was having to go take pictures.

361
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: So that's fine, but I cannot. I don't even know

362
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: if I'm probably gonna get in trouble for asking you this.

363
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: But I saw your gold uniforms and they say Sacramento

364
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 1: on the front, and I was like, wait, whoa, they

365
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: look good. Yeah, we had gold.

366
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 6: We had the gold last.

367
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: Year that they didn't right, So when I saw.

368
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 2: I just got it, you know, a not of appreciation

369
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 2: of Sacramento. Obviously, they took us in for the three years,

370
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: knowing it was temporary, uh, knowing that we were going

371
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: to move on. But the city and the community has

372
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 2: been incredibly gracious and generous to us. So I think

373
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: we thought that we owed them kind of the not

374
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: a gratitude. No, I love to on the on the

375
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: gold jerseys. It looked awesome.

376
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: Gold Sundays.

377
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: I don't I think there is a day for.

378
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: Might be sad.

379
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we all loved the gold uniforms last year,

380
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: so I think addin Sacramento is a nice touch.

381
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 3: Agreed, Really cool.

382
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 5: Hey, great to see you. Appreciate the time. As always,

383
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 5: we love hearing from you, so do fanaly thing. Man.

384
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 4: We'll catch up soon.

385
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 6: Thank you, I appreciate it.

386
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm here with Jacob Wilson, the man fresh contract shortstop

387
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: here for the Sacramento Athletics. I mean, look, he's got

388
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: that smile. If I've just signed that contract, i'd have

389
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: that nice job. But I don't know if you played

390
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: against his father, but I played against his father. I'm

391
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: kind of mad at this kid because his dad took

392
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: a lot of hits away from me over the years. Man,

393
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: playing shortstop, it was it was mad and one and

394
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna get into I'm gonna tell you a story

395
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: at the end about your dad and you. He probably

396
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: still brags him out to this day, but he took

397
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: too many hits away for me to be nice to you.

398
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 6: That's awesome.

399
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 7: That's my dog. Yeah, exactly did you hit it out?

400
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 4: I know were popular on this show.

401
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's kind of weird, but anyway, Hey, talk about them.

402
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was.

403
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 6: It was awesome, you know, it was it was a

404
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 6: long process. You know, it took a long time going

405
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 6: back and forth, and uh, you know, kind of towards

406
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 6: the end, it made an easy decision knowing that you know,

407
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 6: I get to be a part of the squad. You know,

408
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 6: I got a lot of my boys here who are

409
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 6: pretty much my best friends. I hang out with every day,

410
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 6: you know, go to the field with them every day.

411
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 6: You know, you love playing the game with them, and uh,

412
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 6: you know it was everything for me. You would be

413
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 6: able to stay here for you know, this team took

414
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 6: a chance on the other draft and draft me early,

415
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 6: and you know, super blessed to be the part of

416
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 6: part of this organization.

417
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: And I love it.

418
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 6: And you know, at the end of the day, I

419
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 6: think that was the main reason why I wanted to

420
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 6: I wanted to stay and be here forranxtent period of time.

421
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 8: Talk a little bit about your routine and you know,

422
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 8: now you got the extension. Is there anything different that

423
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 8: you're doing spring training coming into here and now you

424
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 8: know you can relax a little bit, but talk about

425
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 8: your focal point and what you're trying to work on

426
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 8: this spring training.

427
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think more. For me, it was growing into

428
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 6: my body more, putting on some more weight, some more

429
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 6: muscle mass, and uh really, you know, offensively is always

430
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 6: kind of in the same routine ever since I was

431
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 6: a kid. You know, it's always in the same same thoughts,

432
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 6: same ideas, just going out there and just being able

433
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 6: to you know, get back in the swing of things.

434
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 6: In spring training, you know, that's kind of just getting

435
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 6: getting that stuff out of the way, you know, learning

436
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 6: being able to you know, get back into you know,

437
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 6: making adjustments and defensively, it's been a lot of working

438
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 6: on the first step, you know, trying to get more

439
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 6: range out of out of you know, being at shortstop

440
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 6: and getting more balls, making more plays. It's kind of

441
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 6: the main thing going and talking to Bobby Crosby, just

442
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 6: really working on that this year. And you know, I'm

Speaker 8: just get out there, feel, get the ends going. Are

452
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,200

455
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 8: let's just stretch real quick, get on the field, let

456
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 8: me see how the field's bouncing, and let me let

457
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 8: me get my work done.

458
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 7: Yeah.

459
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 6: I think throughout my you know, year and a half

460
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 6: in the day leagues and you know year in the

461
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 6: minor leagues, I never looked at one computer. You know,

462
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 6: for me, it's going out there, getting the hands warm,

463
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 6: seeing the field. Very old school, you know. The analytics

464
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 6: team comes and tries to talk to me, and I

465
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 6: understand another terminology at all, and I'm just like, all right,

466
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 6: what does it mean? What does this mean? All right,

467
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 6: we'll work on that. And uh, you know, I think

468
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,000

00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 6: Pretty much anything besides video. I don't look at the

475
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 6: metrics or anything. And it's just, you know, I don't

476
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 6: see too much part of my game.

477

00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 6: didn't have to.

487
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

488
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I grew up in southern California, went to Grand

490
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 6: of year spring trainings here, so made this isn't easier

491
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 6: to move out here and you live here during an

492
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 6: off season.

493
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: Are we gonna have Jacob Wilson field over at Grand Canyon?

499
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 6: He didn't really go there.

500
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did not know. Yeah that was before Grand

501
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: Canyon was even like a thing.

502
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think there were Division two or Division three

503
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 6: when he went really yeah, back when he was in

504
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 6: college and then obviously the transition over.

505
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: But you're just gonna dunk on him when you're like

506
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: Jacob Wilson Field at Tim Salmon Club.

507
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 6: Yeah he's he's awesome.

508
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he is.

509
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 6: He's a great, great guy.

510
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 5: Hey, a j real quick, because you guys were making

511
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 5: fun of how he spent eight minut and it's in

512
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 5: the minor leagues, you know, so he got called up.

513
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 5: His debut was twenty twenty four, I think in July.

514
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 5: Do you know what he was hitting in two hundred

515
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 5: played appearances? If I have this right in the minor leagues,

516
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 5: and then it'll make it a little easier to understand.

517
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 4: Do you guys want me to give you the number.

518
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: Like three eighty something, wasn't it.

519
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 4: Four to thirty eight?

520
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 3: Do I have that right?

521
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: Way off?

522
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 4: Four thirty eight?

523
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 5: You know what you say when you see four thirty

524
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 5: eight and two hundred played appearances, I think it's time.

525
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 4: I think I think he needs to.

526
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 5: Go to another level because if someone was hitting four

527
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 5: thirty eight in the bigs, they'd have to find another

528
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 5: level too, So it was time, right jab, Yeah, you

529
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 5: could say now you've dirting your spikes or signed up

530
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 5: long term, right like I don't. Obviously, the game is

531
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 5: it's the most difficult thing in sports is to hit

532
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 5: a baseball like that.

533
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 4: But you clearly were feeling it at that moment.

534
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 5: Right in twenty twenty four, you're getting to hit almost

535
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 5: every other at bat.

536
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that the double a part triple a year was.

537
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 6: It was awesome. I don't a lot to get hitting coaches

538
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 6: too that I was talking to kind of first full

539
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 6: season in freessimal baseball. A lot of guys I got

540
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 6: to talk to. You know, I lead on my dad

541
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 6: a lot too. You know, he's he kind of knows

542
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 6: my swinging the best that anybody has seen it the most.

543
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 6: So get to call him and he's easy houtel for me.

544
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 6: So it's awesome to be able to have those guys

545
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 6: in my corner.

546
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: What's your dad? What does your dad talk to you?

547
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: Because your dad was known more for his glove obviously

548
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: than hitting, What does your dad talk to you about hitting?

549
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: Because he was he was a similar hitter to you.

550
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: He didn't have the power that you had, but he

551
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: didn't strike out a lot. He put the ball in place.

552
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: Swam right. You only had thirty nine strikeouts last year,

553
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: which in today's day and age is like zero strikeouts.

554
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: So what does your dad.

555
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: Talk to you about?

556
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he teaches me a lot of stuff

557
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 6: that he'd learned from other guys, you know, when he

558
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 6: played a lot of guys that he talked to, and

559
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 6: really just simplifying anything everything, you know, just making it

560
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 6: down and like I have a lot of movement in

561
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 6: my swing, but once I kind of get to my load,

562
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 6: there's not really much, you know, keep trying to keep

563
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 6: the head still, you know, don't drift forward, all that stuff.

564
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 6: Just calling him Like, like I said, he can see

565
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 6: my swing at any point and know exactly what to

566
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 6: call me and talk to me about. And then I

567
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 6: can just go on the cage and be like all right,

568
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 6: that was it, and you know, it's awesome. You'll be

569
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 6: able to have him just tell me pretty much every day,

570
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 6: Hey I saw this, I work on this to morrow

571
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 6: and it ends up you know, working So he's he's awesome.

572
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 3: He's great. That is great.

573
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 8: And I know you had your dad to look up to,

574
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 8: but was there anybody else as a youngster where you

575
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 8: just would flock to every time you went to the ballpark,

576
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 8: or somebody you looked up to who gave you some

577
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 8: good advice.

578
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 7: Like one or the other, or you could tell me

579
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 7: about both.

580
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 6: Yeah. So growing up, there was a lot of my dad,

581
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 6: you know, it was he was just dad. I went

582
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 6: to the baseball field pretty much every day, and uh,

583
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 6: you know the guy. Once he retired and I started

00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 6: getting into like high school and like looking at college

585
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 6: and stuff. A guy that I loved watching back at

586
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 6: Vanderbilt was Dancy Swanson. That was a guy that I

587
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 6: I looked up to, you know, as a high school

588
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 6: kid coming up. I wanted to go to Vanderbilt just

589
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 6: because of him. You know, he was the guy that

590
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 6: I like watching a lot. He was a shortstop. I

591
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,679

594
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 6: and you know, he's great. He's something that I got

595
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 6: to actually tour the Cubs place back in college when

596
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,840

Speaker 4: I'm like, cool, I'll let Griffy know. AJ will griff

627
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 4: you know.

628
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 5: So can you let the world know that it's okay

629
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 5: sometimes to wear a backwards hat.

630
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 6: I usually turn around once the day is done on

631
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 6: the field, it stays forward. I can't turn around all

632
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 6: It's yeah, that's fun. That's like an unwritten rule for me.

633
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 6: But like once I get to the clubhouse, I turn

634
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 6: around trying to, you know, just just hang out. That's

635
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 6: like a kind of hangout hat.

636
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: What what's your thing you're working on the spring? What

637
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: what did you go into the off season with and Zerio?

638
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: I need to improve X y Z to become the

639
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: next step of Jacob Wilson.

640
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a lot of the growing in the body.

641
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 6: That was kind of the main thing really going in

642
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 6: the spring because it's easy since I live here, I

643
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 6: get to come work out with the strength coaches at

644
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 6: the facility pretty much. Yeah, whenever, whenever I'm available, they're available,

645
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 6: and they're great. You know, they helped me out a lot.

646
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 6: They know exactly what I need to do to get

647
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 6: my body to where I want it to be. And

648
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 6: I think I'm up probably I think nine to ten

649
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 6: pounds right now since that last day of the season

650
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 6: last year. So it was a lot of that, a

651
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 6: lot of work, you know, footwork stuff. I guess I

652
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 6: working on the first step, you know, being able to

653
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 6: get more range as a shortstop, and you know, offense,

654
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 6: I guess it's always been the same exec team. I

655
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 6: haven't changed it. You know, there's adjustments that I make,

656
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 6: you know, depending on how the season's going and who

657
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 6: I'm facing, but uh, overall, it's majority of the same

658
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 6: same exect team.

659
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: Are you and Kurts? Are you mad at Kurts for

660
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: taking your Rookie of the year like you did? You

661
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: talk track like I had this thing locked up, Nick

662
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you came up and

663
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: just stole.

664
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 3: It from me.

665
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's kind of hard to compete with what thirty

666
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 6: six homers. It's not easy to be able to compete

667
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 6: with that, But you know it was awesome. I think,

668
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 6: you know, when he got called up, I remember calling

669
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 6: my dad like, dude, this thing's gone.

670
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: I knew in spring training.

671
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,719
Speaker 6: I was like, dude, this guy is gonna be this

672
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 6: guy's going to be electric once he once he gets

673
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 6: up and gets going, And uh, I think halfway probably

674
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 6: around the All Star break, you know, we were talking about, like,

675
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 6: all right, as long as this we get this thing

676
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 6: in this clubhouse, like because at that time we were

677
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 6: both like towards the top of like guys who were

678
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 6: in the kind of the running for it, and like,

679
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 6: as long as we get this thing in this clubouse,

680
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,479
Speaker 6: we're gonna we're gonna be all right, get it back

681
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 6: to the organization. So it was awesome just be able to,

682
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 6: you know, compete with him and just being able to

683
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 6: enjoy that entire year and just build off each other's success.

684
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 6: This was pretty often for us going into this year.

685
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: Do me a favor? Can you go like this with

686
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: your left hand? Can anyone? Can everyone?

687
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: Can we?

688
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

689
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: Do you see that this right here? No, go back

690
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: to the single. Do we see that right there? Do

691
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: you guys know what doubt is? Where that located? What's

692
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: located right underneath that. We used to call them turty's

693
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: because it looks like you have a thirty little piece

694
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: of turd underneath your end, right your handmade bone is,

695
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: And that's where that's what causes the handmade bone, yeah,

696
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: is because that's on the knob and you get it

697
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: it's always in spring, you get it and it really

698
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: never goes away.

699
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: No, it never does.

700
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 6: I have a choke up guy too, so I don't.

701
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 6: I'm nearly on the knob in general. Try to keep it,

702
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 6: Try to keep me to keep it.

703
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to keep rough, right, that's crazy because

704
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: everyone's like, I don't understand these handma, Why why don't

705
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: you get off the knob. Well, guys always since the

706
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: beginning of time have had that that thing on their

707
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: hand and it never goes away.

708
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, it's hard and it's even all off. He's

709
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 6: still there. That's right, bag more in spring.

710
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 5: This is someone on some show the other day was saying, now,

711
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 5: like some of the knobs are changing, so that's what's

712
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 5: causing And I'm like, I don't know. I think we

713
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 5: just hit a coincidence where three guys went down at

714
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 5: the same time. You might not have many of those

715
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 5: the rest of the spring or the rest of the season.

716
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 5: We just happened to hit three in a row, right there,

717
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 5: you saw them, Yeah, right, Carol.

718
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 4: We talked to last night about.

719
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: It a jst on I I got my there. You

720
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: can't you can't plan for it. It just happens. But

721
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: the one thing try to keep it in shape like that.

722
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Jacob, I have one more for you.

723
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 5: So we're in a sport now where it is so

724
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 5: number based on evaluation, right, And and I'm not like

725
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 5: an old school Oh I don't incorporate advanced numbers. I

726
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 5: actually try and mix it into the show as much

727
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 5: as possible. My question for you is more for young kids,

728
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 5: because we do have a lot of youngsters that listen

729
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 5: to the show, and I feel like we're at a

730
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 5: point where sometimes someone will be like, oh, my bat

731
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,199
Speaker 5: speed has to get to this level. You're the perfect

732
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 5: example of oh, my exit velocity has to get to

733
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 5: this level.

734
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 4: Oh does it?

735
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 5: Because Jacob Wilson can hit three hundred and the big

736
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 5: leagues and four thirty eight in the minor leagues and

737
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 5: then make seventy million dollars on a contract.

738
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 4: So did you experience any of that?

739
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 5: And then for anyone that's, you know, being told, hey,

740
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 5: you're not hitting the ball hard enough, what would your

741
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 5: advice be?

742
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

743
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, for me in that department, I think

744
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 6: I'm the bottom one percent of major Baseball in both

745
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 6: of those categories. But you know, it's it's tough because

746
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 6: you know, there's you know, back when I was in

747
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 6: college that it was a big thing. Exit Velossit wasn't

748
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 6: a was wasn't great. And I think for me just

749
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 6: being able to defend that is that when you put

750
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 6: the ball in play with two strikes a lot, you

751
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 6: have so many numbers that you know, guys who you

752
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 6: know strike out, that's not a zero mile for our

753
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 6: exit velo. So it doesn't affect it as much versus

754
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 6: like guys who go up there put the ball in play,

755
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 6: Like every guy in this game who's not a strikeout

756
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 6: guy has low exit velossies because they put the ball

757
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 6: you know, in play a lot and sometimes in soft contact.

758
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 6: Sometimes that's all you really need to you know, get

759
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 6: a guy over, you know, find a way on base.

760
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 6: So that's uh. I've never you know, guys have came

761
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 6: up and talked to me about it, you know obviously,

762
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 6: like you know, analytics guys are like, oh, it's you know,

763
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 6: it's slower than everybody else. But yeah, it's not, like

764
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 6: I said, I'm a multipole guy. I never really dig

765
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 6: too much into it, you know, I just go out

766
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 6: there and try to just to be the same player.

767
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 6: You know, every day and not really try to change

768
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 6: a much. Just stay in my lane. And uh you

769
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 6: know that's I think that's what that team needs me

770
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 6: to do, is take a ball and play, move guys over,

771
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 6: find a way to go on base, because you know,

772
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 6: like this lineup, you got Nick, you got Rooker, you

773
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 6: got Langeleiers, you have all these guys who hit a

774
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 6: lot of homers. You know, we have multiple thirty homer

775
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 6: guys every single year. So if I get on base

776
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 6: and they had a homer, it's two runs just like that.

777
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 6: So I I just noticed, stay in my lane. You

778
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 6: know exactly what I need to go do every day

779
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 6: to be able to, you know, help this team win

780
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 6: at the end of the day. That's our goal is

781
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 6: to see how many wins we can give at the

782
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 6: end of year. And you know, play playing, you know October.

783
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So what you just said, by the way, that

784
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: might be one of my favorite quotes. So Michael clicked

785
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: that because what you said about XBOSC guys who put

786
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: the ball and play more they have lower exbosty because

787
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: they put more balls and play. I love that. I

788
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: was a guy that date it shrinking out, so I

789
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: love that fact. Now I mentioned your dad. So in

790
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: two thousand and four, I was playing for the Giants

791
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: and he was in Pittsburgh and there was a play

792
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: at the plate between him and I. Okay, and it

793
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: was it was a throw down that it was coming

794
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: from Reyfield was up the line and I grab and

795
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: I have to dive and it was the winning run.

796
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: He was the winning run on third. So I catch

797
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: it and I dive back. As a catcher, you're taught

798
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: to just put your glove in front of the plate

799
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: and trying to block it. And he did the old

800
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: superman and he made it, and you know, they win.

801
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: It was a walk off win. And I've never felt

802
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: so deflated in my life because I'm like, I did

803
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: everything right. Everyone's like, how did you miss him? I'm like,

804
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: did you not see this?

805
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 6: Hard guys will do that second base. It's it's very

806
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 6: hard to be able to read that.

807
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm never forgiving your dad form.

808
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 3: By the way.

809
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: It made me look like a fool.

810
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 6: So it's he was athletic.

811
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't. Yeah I was. He was an athletic. I wasn't.

812
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: So what do you want me to do?

813
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: Now?

814
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: Your dad was great. He was always fun to talk to.

815
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: Always smiling, always bounce around, full of energy, and then

816
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: it seems like it carried over to you. So thank you, congratulations,

817
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: have a great year. I hope you go out and

818
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: you guys compete for it. And I'm bullish on you guys,

819
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: I keep telling him, I'm bullish on the a's man.

820
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: These guys are excited and enter and they are loving

821
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: where they're at right now.

822
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, they can hit Jacob, Thank you so much. Really

823
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 5: appreciate it. Man, Good luck.

824
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 6: We'll talk to you, Okay, thank you for having me.

825
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you.

826
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 5: Next up, someone who's in the prime of his career,

827
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 5: one of the top pitchers in the sport. Who I

828
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 5: don't think that's enough attention. Hunter Brown was on Crush

829
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 5: City Territory. So let's show a low click.

830
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 9: Everyone's wondering, you know, this is the time of year

831
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 9: for extension. This is the time of year where negotiations

832
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 9: for extensions happen. I know there has at least been

833
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 9: some interest in the past between you and the Astros

834
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 9: and an extension. Is that something that you are open to.

835
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 9: Is that something that maybe you have told Scott boris

836
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 9: that that you'd like to explore kind of where are

837
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 9: you in that an extension world right now?

838
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 10: You know, those those conversations have obviously, you know, come

839
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 10: up between Scott and myself, and and with all transparency,

840
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 10: you know, I love Houston.

841
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: I love playing for this.

842
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:01,239
Speaker 10: Team, you know, and and just I haven't anything since uh,

843
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 10: you know, I was a rookie. So my focus is

844
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 10: to be the best I can be for this team

845
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 10: this season, and you know that's that's what I'm focused on.

846
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 10: But like, like I said, I love putting on that

847
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 10: Astro's uniform and I got no no visions of doing

848
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 10: it anywhere else. So that that's what I can give you.

849
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: Guys.

850
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 10: I haven't I haven't heard anything, and that's that's just

851
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 10: kind of where I stand with that.

852
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 5: So, hey, j if I'm Jim Crane, owner of the Astros,

853
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 5: my phone almost is like a magnet. It was like, hey, Scott,

854
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 5: I just saw Hunter say he wants to be here forever.

855
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 5: Let's try and figure something out now before he ends

856
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 5: up costing a jillion dollars on the free agent market.

857
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 5: I saw it, Google got and arbitration. Let's uh, let's

858
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 5: get something number before all of that.

859
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 4: Thanks Byke.

860
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: Also, we thought Korea would be a lifetime astro. We

861
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: thought Bragman would be a lifetime astro. Two days the

862
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: only one that's kind of stuck it out right Fromberg

863
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: For a long time, we thought it would be a

864
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: lifelong astro. It just doesn't happen that often. It takes

865
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: special special person. I hope Hunter Brown becomes one of

866
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: those players. He gets to spend his entire career as

867
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: a Houston astro. But most of the time, Scott, it

868
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: doesn't work out, whether it's salary, whether it's the team

869
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: isn't very good, they need to move a guy. I mean,

870
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: think about how many go Kenker vir Junior. Everyone thought

871
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: he'd be a Mariner forever. He went to the Reds.

872
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: People forget he played for the White Sox for a while.

873
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: So let's you know, guys move around, People will switch teams,

874
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: and for fans, it sucks. But I hope Hunter Brown

875
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: gets to become one of those special special people that

876
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: spends his entire tim career with one organization.

877
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 8: Agreed, agreed to the fallest, upstanding gentlemen, great pitcher, and

878
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 8: you hear something like that, I feel like he's not

879
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 8: going to try and crush you with the price. He's

880
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 8: gonna won a fair price, and I think it now's

881
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 8: the time to do it. Man, spring training, you got

882
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 8: plenty of time for all that.

883
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 3: To go through.

884
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 7: So very nice. He chipped in there and made himself

885
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 7: look good right there for sure.

886
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, top three, Hey, I'll say young. He even made

887
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 4: the Astros a little extra cash this year.

888
00:32:59,040 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 7: He was.

889
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 5: I mean, you want to talk surplus value, AJ where

890
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 5: you're making almost nothing. I think he's still league minimum, right,

891
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 5: and then your your PPI eligible. Yeah, so Houston gets

892
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 5: a comp pick at I think back half of the

893
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 5: first round.

894
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: So he was good for a while there. I was

895
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: riding him hard for a while there on my bets

896
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: because he was one of the best pictures in baseball

897
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: for a long time. He had a couple of rough

898
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: starts down the stretch, but for the most part, Hunter

899
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: Brown was one of the best pictures in baseball last year.

900
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough when you got School in the

901
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: American League and Crochet in the American League. Finished top three.

902
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: He had a pretty damn good year.

903
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, and they've done it, like you mentioned al two

904
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 5: Vay Jordan Alvarez has a chance to stay with the

905
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 5: Astros for his entire career. I know he's had some

906
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 5: injury issues lately, but I would still call him a

907
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 5: surplus value too, because when the bat's there, I mean,

908
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 5: it's a top ten bat in the sport and probably

909
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 5: a top five clutch bat in the sport.

910
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 4: So there's two.

911
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 5: This to me is the one where I would have

912
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 5: the conversation this spring.

913
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: Yes, agreed, agreed, But we'll see, we'll see who's his

914
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: agent that matters.

915
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 4: Didn't he say Boris?

916
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 7: Just now?

917
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: Did he say Boris? If he's Boris?

918
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 3: Then I think he did.

919
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, it's Boris.

920
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, good luck getting that extension then, because Wors

921
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 1: doesn't do a lot of extensions. He will, but he

922
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: doesn't do a lot of those extensions exactly.

923
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 5: Hey, if you want to hear that full interview, it's

924
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 5: really good. Hunter Brown on Crush Shitty Territory there. It

925
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,440
Speaker 5: is part of the FT Network with Chandler, Josh Tyler.

926
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 5: Tyler and Chandler were handling the interview.

927
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: What what why is Houston called crush City?

928
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 4: That's their thing? You're asking me?

929
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

930
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: As the host and allegedly the smartest guy on the

931
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: show according to the chat.

932
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, just a quick AI check. It highlights the

933
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 5: Astro's high volume home ru un hitting during their twenty

934
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 5: fifteen season, when they finished with the second most home

935
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,840
