We've 14 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 7: been working well and Tony's making certain that we pay 15 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 7: attention to the details of the fundamentals, you know, especially 16 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 7: trying to be better on the base pads, you know, 17 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 7: trying to make certain that we know where we're supposed 18 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 7: to be doing the fundamentals and what it's going to 19 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 7: take to do it on a daily basis. 20 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 3: He's on top of everything. 21 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 7: So we've been having a lot of fun because the 22 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 7: guy's been out there getting after it. 23 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:03,800 Speaker 2: Wa Wash. 24 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 8: Do you think players now don't know the fundamentals as 25 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 8: well as they should because we always went over fundamentals, 26 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 8: But it was like spring training was like Oh yeah, 27 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 8: I kind of. You know, you just got to like 28 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 8: set that in so that you do all little things 29 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 8: great for one hundred and sixty two games. But do 30 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 8: you think kids just don't know it as well because 31 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 8: of how travel ball and everything is coming into pro ball. 32 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 7: Yep, I think that has something to do with it. 33 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 7: But I think even though we are the major league team, 34 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 7: you still have to go over it every day as 35 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 7: if you don't know it, you think about it. These 36 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 7: guys have had two and a half three four months off, 37 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 7: so we got to get back in the groove. So 38 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 7: and the way you get back in the groove is 39 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 7: to pound the fundamentals every single day because that's what 40 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 7: you're going to rely on during the course of a 41 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 7: season that'll take you through six months. So I love 42 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 7: that Tony got us out there going through the fundamentals 43 00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 7: every single day. 44 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 3: And guess that's what he's right in the middle of everything. 45 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: Well, I love hearing that. 46 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: If anybody doesn't know, I don't even know if Wash remembers, 47 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: but I got to experience playing a little bit with 48 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: you in Atlanta in twenty twenty one. I wish I 49 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: would have gotten to be under you earlier. In the 50 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: sense of the fundamentals that you just spoke of. You 51 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: really are out there every single morning with that knee 52 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: down on a glove, firing those ground balls of people, 53 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,239 Speaker 1: and you're just making everybody better. How is that transition 54 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: to you got Devers now kind of switching positions, going 55 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: to first base, you finally get to be with him. 56 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: How's he looking so far? 57 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 7: Well, he's looking like you just described me. He's out 58 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 7: there every morning on his knees doing the same thing 59 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 7: you just described. And that's what it's about. You know, 60 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 7: you can be as good as you can be when 61 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 7: you a teacher, a mentor or something like that, but 62 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 7: if your pupils don't follow the orders that you're putting out. 63 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 7: And I'm not mean orders where you being strict to 64 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 7: anything like that. I'm talking about the consistency of how 65 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 7: you go about your business every so you can bring 66 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 7: that consistency into the game. Well, they're doing that right now, 67 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 7: and our job is to make sure that it's not 68 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 7: just right now. 69 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 3: It's day in and day out. 70 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 7: And you just mentioned Atlanta in twenty one that's what 71 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 7: we did. Yeah, I mean it was every day we 72 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 7: didn't get off to the greatest of starts, but we 73 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 7: never stopped trying to find out a game. And this 74 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 7: is where you find you gain right here in spring 75 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 7: training and then take it through the season and stay 76 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 7: on top of it all year. 77 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 2: Loon. 78 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: Well, like I said, I think you made me a 79 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: better infielder just by the last year of my career. 80 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: And I would have wish I would have got you 81 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: a little bit earlier in my career. The problem is, 82 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: you made that Atlanta infield a little bit better too, 83 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: And everybody's hamstrings and hands were ready for one hundred 84 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: and sixty two game season, and I never got to 85 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: get up to the big league team because they were 86 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: too damn good, because you made them too damn good. 87 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 3: Well, they were already good. 88 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 7: They were already good, but they all I did is 89 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 7: make sure that they got to work. And the beautiful 90 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 7: thing about it all is I think that year the 91 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 7: whole infield went at. 92 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: All Star Game thirty and one hundred. I think all 93 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: of them, yes, I mean, but I guarantee you ask 94 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: any of them, You're the first name they mentioned when 95 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: they think of who got them right that year, who 96 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: got them ready to play for that Well. 97 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 7: That's because we did it together, and that's what it's about. 98 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 7: I demanded that they be tough and put in the 99 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 7: time every single day, and they demanded from me that 100 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 7: I be there and make sure that they do what 101 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 7: they're supposed to do. And that's what teams that win 102 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 7: does get the demanding out of each other. So it 103 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 7: was wonderful and I'm hoping that we end up doing 104 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 7: that right here because so far it's been wonderful. It 105 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 7: really has the. 106 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 8: Right side of your infield. There's gonna be two guys 107 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 8: that haven't played that position very much, Luis rise at second, 108 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 8: Rafie Devers at first. However the alignment ends up working out. 109 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 8: What do you see from these guys? One positive thing 110 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 8: that you see from them and one thing that okay, 111 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 8: like this is going to be the next step. If 112 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 8: they can handle if they can do this, they can 113 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 8: fix this, then they're going to be good at this position. 114 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 7: Well, one positive thing I got is their work ethic. 115 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 7: They diligent in a way they come and go about 116 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 7: their business. The next thing is they are trying to 117 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 7: bring everyone around them along with them. So and that's 118 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 7: what it's gonna take all of us together. And they're 119 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 7: also doing that everything that they think of can add 120 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 7: to what we're doing. 121 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: They're out front adding it, and. 122 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 7: Like I say, their work ethic is off the charts 123 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 7: right now, and I'll be very impressed if we can 124 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 7: keep that work ethic going throughout the year, because that's 125 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 7: what keeps the team going. 126 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: We were talking about it, we said, we were making 127 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: jokes earlier. I remember from Atlanta. Do we have a 128 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: swear jar here for you at all? 129 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 9: No? 130 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 7: I you know, I've sort of got that a little 131 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 7: bit under control. 132 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 6: If they miss a couple, well, and I don't. 133 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 7: I don't expect that. That's only to be human nature 134 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 7: right there. If they do miss a couple, as long 135 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 7: as they don't miss them daily, they can miss them 136 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 7: every now and then. That just let me know a human. 137 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 7: But if they start to missing them daily, then they 138 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 7: will have to have a swear jar. 139 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 8: What what makes you swear more when somebody's late for 140 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 8: when somebody's late for their prat for early work, when 141 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 8: you're out on the field hitting them balls. 142 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 7: Or know what what makes me get to that point 143 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 7: is when they don't show up period. Yeah, that's what 144 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 7: gets me to that point because I starts with my 145 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 7: morning to be prepared for them, and then when they 146 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 7: disappoint me, I'm totally disappointed because, I mean, I'm hitting 147 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 7: the floor at four o'clock in the morning and getting 148 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 7: everything I have to do together so I can be 149 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 7: out on the field that early in the morning and 150 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 7: be ready when they show up. And when they don't 151 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 7: show up, it upsets me. And maybe I don't have 152 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 7: any reason to be upset, but I get upset because 153 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 7: I'm competitive, even though I'm not between the lines. 154 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: You don't disappoint this man, I'll say that from experience. 155 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: You get your butt out there in the morning. You 156 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: don't keep this man waiting. 157 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 8: All right, Well, then that brings me my next question. 158 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 8: Did you miss getting out there for them or getting 159 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 8: up at four in the morning being the manager not 160 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 8: being able to get out in the field to hit 161 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 8: a couple of fungos to the boys? Did you miss it? 162 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 8: And are you glad you're back to the back out 163 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 8: on the field in this capacity? 164 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 7: I never got away from it, even though I was managing. 165 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 7: I mean, my expertise is infield play, and I wouldn't 166 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 7: be doing my team any justice even though I had 167 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 7: an infield guy. If I wasn't out there going through 168 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 7: the stuff with him, and that's what I did. I 169 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 7: was making sure my infield guy was doing the right thing, 170 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 7: and so in a way I was working for him 171 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 7: and I let it go down like that that I 172 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 7: was his helper, but he knew what I was out 173 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 7: there for to make sure that the things that needed 174 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 7: to be done got done and there was no corner's turn, 175 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 7: you know. Cut Everything was done the way it was 176 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 7: supposed to be done, even though when I was managing, 177 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 7: I was doing the same thing. 178 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 5: Hey was wash, How are you feeling? 179 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 4: Obviously you know you went through a heart surgery last 180 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 4: year looking sound fantastic, but how difficult has the past 181 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 4: year been for you? I mean big league manager, drib as. 182 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 4: You know it is a huge to do and you 183 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 4: had to step away for a little bit. Can you 184 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: take us through how you're feeling and how that whole 185 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 4: process was because you know, however, it ended with the 186 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 4: Angels too and landed you here. 187 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 7: Well, the thing is, I was disappointed because just as 188 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 7: my issue hit me last year in June, I had 189 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 7: my team going in the right direction. I had the 190 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,239 Speaker 7: attitude good, they was committed to what we was trying 191 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 7: to do and then that came down, and then I 192 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 7: had to watch it on TV, and to watch it 193 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 7: on TV, I had to watch them just fall apart, 194 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 7: and it wasn't I wouldn't say they fell apart because 195 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 7: I wasn't there, but we fell apart, and I just 196 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 7: felt like we was ready to whip some people's butt 197 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 7: before I went down, and I made a difference in 198 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 7: that clubhouse, and I made a difference on that team. 199 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 7: You know, I'm not patting myself on the back, but 200 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 7: I did make a difference, and I can see the 201 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 7: difference wasn't there when I wasn't there, if that makes 202 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 7: any sense. So you know, I'm enjoying myself here with 203 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 7: the Giants. They took a chance on me and my health, 204 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 7: and I'm not gonna let them down. I've been doing 205 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 7: everything I can every single day to make sure that 206 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 7: I can post post for the Giants, post for the players, 207 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 7: post for Tony, and mainly post for myself. 208 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 8: Why do you feel like they didn't bring you back? 209 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 6: Wash? 210 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 7: You know, I think it was tough for them to 211 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 7: trust my health. You know, nobody would say that, but 212 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 7: I think it was tough for them to trust my health. 213 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 7: And if I wouldn't have went down. I think I 214 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 7: still be in Anaheim. But when I went down and 215 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 7: I had a big option that they had to pick up, 216 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 7: they didn't trust my health, and I have no problem 217 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 7: with that. 218 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 3: They got right to feel that way. 219 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 5: M Hey, wash quick follow on that. 220 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 4: Because you've been in the game for a long time 221 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 4: and you were just in that organization. Do you think 222 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 4: it's fair after that that they gave Kurtzuzuki a one 223 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 4: year deal? Like, if you were in that position as 224 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 4: a manager, what could be the struggle there to make 225 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 4: sure you're being your best self in front of players. 226 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 7: Well, the thing with Kurt, He's gonna always be hisself. 227 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 7: That's who he is. I had him in Oakland, I 228 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 7: had him a few places, and I like him. So 229 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 7: you know, that's a tough situation to be in. But 230 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 7: as you said, these managing jobs aren't that easy to get. 231 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 7: And if you have to get it for a year 232 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 7: to prove that he deserves it, I'll take it for 233 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 7: a year. 234 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 3: And that's what he did. 235 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 7: I took on what I took on knowing the situation 236 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 7: that was happening, and I felt like I could turn 237 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 7: it around. And I'm more than certain Kurt think he 238 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 7: can turn it around. The guys are a little older now, 239 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 7: they're still young, but they're a little older. 240 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 3: They got a little bit more experience. 241 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 7: You can expect more out of them, you can demand 242 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 7: more out of them, and you should get more out 243 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 7: of them, even though you you. 244 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 3: Know they're still young. 245 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 7: So it's a good situation in the sense that he 246 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 7: has a major league, big league managing job and it's 247 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 7: nothing like it really isn't is nothing like. 248 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 8: Some of the best times in clubhouses are when you 249 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 8: get to dress the rookies up. Now that you're the 250 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 8: vet and you're I've never been in a coach's manager's 251 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 8: office when it comes time to dress guys up. Will 252 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 8: you be buying Tony Vattello some type of dress up 253 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 8: or his rookie year as a manager. 254 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 7: No, that don't include the manager is the boss man. No, 255 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 7: the manager is the boss man. You don't mess with him. 256 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 7: You just do what he say, does what you do. 257 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 7: That's what you do. You don't talk about dressing him up. No, no, never. 258 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 4: Plus, he's got the hangout spot.

Like we just spoke 305 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 4: to Ron Washington live on the show. Does it feel different? 306 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 4: Is he kind of figuring himself out or because he's 307 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 4: got a lot of swag and confidence, it just feels 308 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 4: like he's another big league manager. 309 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean it feels very similar. 310 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 9: Say's a little more energy than some of the ones 311 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 9: that I've had before, But I think that's a good thing. Uh, 312 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 9: you know, it's something that we probably needed a little bit, 313 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 9: especially kind of at the end of the season. Last 314 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 9: year just seemed like we were kind of in a role, 315 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 9: and I think Tony's a guy who will kind of 316 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 9: mitigate that and make sure that kind of never happens. 317 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 9: So I'm excited. It's been a fun camp so far. 318 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 9: There's a ton of good energy. Obviously, it's a long season. 319 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 6: We all know that. 320 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 9: I think you know as players, if there's anything we 321 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 9: can help him with, it's that is knowing that it's 322 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 9: a long season. 323 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 8: That's a long season. But you're the one guy in 324 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 8: that rotation that's like, ah, whatever, I'm just gonna be 325 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 8: here the whole time. I'm just gonna do my thing. 326 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 8: What does that look? 327 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 6: What does that look? 328 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 8: How does that look different compared to when you first 329 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 8: broke in the league, This preparation for the season. I'm 330 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 8: not even talking about WBC yet because that's new, but 331 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 8: what does that look like for you differently because you're 332 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 8: just a constant dude in the end of the year 333 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 8: conversation for Cy Young Award. 334 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, I think every off season is different. I mean, 335 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 9: you guys know that you go into it, you're working 336 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 9: on new stuff, this year that wasn't necessarily last year 337 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 9: is kind of the cutter and the forced scene this year. 338 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 9: For me, it's just kind of refining some things. But 339 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 9: I think the more you throw, the more innings you throw, 340 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 9: the more pitches you throw, the more you know your body, 341 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 9: the more you know how to get prepared for a season. 342 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 9: And I think in that too, you kind of learned 343 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 9: different things to stay prepared. Maybe, uh, you know, I 344 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 9: was with Verlander last year. He's been doing it for 345 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 9: a was it twenty twenty first year, and that guy 346 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 9: knows knows what he needs to do to be ready 347 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 9: to throw throw in a season and to to throw 348 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 9: each game. And I picked my I picked his brain 349 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 9: as much as I could, so hopefully I can, you know, 350 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 9: be a guy that that throws as long as he does. 351 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 9: And he was wonderful to me, and like I said, 352 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 9: you just I think my biggest thing with young guys 353 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 9: is try to learn from the older guys as much 354 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 9: as you can. See what they do position player wise. 355 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 9: For us, like Chapman's a freaking stud. Go watch what 356 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 9: he does every day, Go follow it his routine. Everyone's different. 357 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 9: You're not gonna everyone's not gonna be the same. But 358 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 9: I think those are good things to follow, and that 359 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 9: for me, that's I've had so many good older guys 360 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 9: that I've just like taken bits and pieces of throughout 361 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 9: the years and it's helped me to this day, like 362 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 9: figure out the routine that I need to to be 363 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 9: ready to throw every fifth day. 364 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: It's gonna say, no matter how long you play, you 365 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: always kind of can approach the game still as a 366 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: rookie where you're never never done learning this game's never 367 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: really done teaching. I think you've led the most inning 368 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: since twenty twenty one. You led the league in strikeouts 369 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: last year for the the NL, so you gotta feel 370 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: confident going into this year. 371 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 2: But here comes the WBC. 372 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: What changes have you made kind of in prep going 373 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: for the season not be pulled back certain bullpens or 374 00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: are you pushing forward to make sure you're ready for that? 375 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 9: To be honest, I feel like I haven't changed. I 376 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 9: haven't changed anything, Honestly. I feel like I've kind of 377 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 9: toned it back a little bit. You know, I was 378 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 9: for some reason. There's there's like two bullpens in January 379 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 9: every year where I throw harder than I will all 380 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 9: season and exactly, and and I I made it a 381 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 9: point to not do that this year, just knowing because 382 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,479 Speaker 9: I'm gonna have a little bit more adrenaline in in 383 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 9: March than I'm used to. But at the same time, 384 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 9: I I know it's not the same, But I get 385 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 9: nervous for every start I make. You know, I pitching 386 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 9: in these spring training games. Uh there's there's not many 387 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 9: people in the in the stands. I get nervous for that. 388 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 9: I get a ton of adrenaline for that. So I 389 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 9: know it's gonna be different. I'm you know, I'm expecting it. 390 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 9: I'm excited about it. In reality, it's three weeks before 391 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 9: I throw something like that anyways, And and it's it's 392 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 9: not as many pitches, it's not as you know, many innings. 393 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 9: And you know, I got Dave Greschner there.

I'm gonna keep. 498 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 9: I'm gonna so our I think our first game, we 499 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 9: had two pitchers challenge and they were ugly, like not 500 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 9: even close. And so I think the next day we're like, 501 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 9: all right, catchers are the only ones who can challenge here, 502 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 9: you guys. 503 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 6: Yes we lost, all right, but I was gonna let 504 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 6: him do that anyways. 505 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 9: You know, I think pictures, you're throwing the pitch, you're emotional, 506 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 9: right three to two, you want the pitch, you know. 507 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 6: I think every pitcher's. 508 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 9: Has done this before, where you think it's a strike 509 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 9: and then you go back and watch the video and 510 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 9: it's like three balls out or three balls up, and yeah, 511 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 9: So I think the best thing to do is kind 512 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 9: of leave it to Patrick. I think he's I know 513 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 9: I might be biased, but he probably knows his own 514 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 9: better than any catcher in baseball. 515 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean the number, the numbers would say it 516 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 8: for sure. What is what do you think is going 517 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 8: to be the toughest pitch? Because we have abs now 518 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 8: for umpires and Patrick to call when you're throwing the sweeper, 519 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 8: when you're running that ball left to right or right 520 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 8: to left, because you throw both pitches that move in 521 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 8: both directions. 522 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 9: I think for me, uh, I think in general, I 523 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 9: think the fastball up is gonna be hard probably for 524 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 9: me too, Like sometimes I'll throw the sinker up, you know, 525 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 9: sometimes I think sometimes umpire gets maybe you know, I'm 526 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 9: throwing it down most of the time, that throwing up, 527 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 9: and I think that one will be hard just in general. 528 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: But I think you see the most fluctuation at the 529 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: top of the zone because umpires haven't had to be that, 530 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: because that pitchers haven't gone up there for so much 531 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: as much as they are down on the zone and crassy. 532 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna answer a little bit of that 533 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: question with it depends which side of the catcher the 534 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: umpire sets up on. I think kind of the opposite 535 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 1: side that he sets up on might be the one 536 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: that is harder for him to get right or to control, 537 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be challenged a little bit more, would 538 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: you agree, I know. 539 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 8: One hundred percent. 540 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 541 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 8: As far as if they're way in with the lefty 542 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 8: their way in with a righty, that slider will look 543 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 8: different than the sinker down in a way to the lefty. 544 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 3: I like that. 545 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 8: So it's all up to Patrick. It's not up to 546 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 8: you Logan. 547 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 6: No, Yeah, I'm gonna leave it up to him. 548 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 8: Every time I see you seem like, you're the same guy, 549 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 8: you got the same grin on You're like always in 550 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 8: the seventh eighth inning. What is your temperament after you 551 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 8: don't have a good start, Is it a tough five days? 552 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 8: Do you grind on it? Or are you like, oh, 553 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 8: you know what, I'm freaking good, So I don't need 554 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 8: to grind on this one too much longer. 555 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 3: I try to. 556 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 6: I try to get it out that night. Right. It's 557 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 6: the old saying. 558 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 9: Right, you go in the shower, get it all out 559 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 9: of you, and then you gotta get into the next 560 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 9: day and just prepare for the next one. 561 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 6: But it depends sometimes, you know. 562 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 9: There's I think last year I had a seven e 563 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 9: r A and the month of July, so uh, there's 564 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 9: a lot of. 565 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 6: Five days where you're not very happy with yourself. 566 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 2: And I've had months like that. 567 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think. 568 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 3: I think as as. 569 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 9: Much as you can get over it, as fast as 570 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 9: you can, I think, the better off you'll be. It's 571 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 9: like the old saying, Like, you know, I think a 572 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 9: lot of the best pictures I try to tell pictures this, 573 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 9: A lot of the best pictures can switch it to 574 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 9: the next pitch instead of the next that bat or 575 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 9: the next inning, they. 576 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 6: Kind of wash it off and ready for the next one. 577 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 4: Logan last one for you. Do you hate the Dodgers? 578 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 4: Respect the Dodgers, Like, what's your take? You know, as 579 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 4: their division rabbit, you guys had or the Giants organization 580 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 4: had a dynasty in the twenty first century, Dodgers have 581 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 4: their own thing going on right now. 582 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 5: What's your take on what you're seeing over there? 583 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 4: Is you guys get to face them a lot, and 584 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 4: you just saw them add on a few more big 585 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 4: names this offseason. 586 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 9: I I mean, I think it's it's great for I 587 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 9: think it's great for baseball. I think, you know, I 588 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 9: think I'm kind of supposed to hate them, right. Uh, 589 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 9: you know, I play for the Giants. You know it's 590 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 9: a great rivalry. But the stuff they're doing, I think 591 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 9: they want to win, right, And I think that's if 592 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 9: you're in any organization, I think that's the biggest thing, 593 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 9: is you want them to want to win as well. 594 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 9: And they've shown that they want their players to win, 595 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 9: they want the organization to win. So I think it's 596 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 9: you know, I think it's a good thing. You always 597 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 9: want a villain, right, I think I think they've they've 598 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 9: they've gotten that title, not in a not in a 599 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 9: bad way either. I like, I enjoyed, you know, the competition. 600 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 9: I like facing them. Sometimes I don't like facing them 601 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 9: if they score six of me, which is again after 602 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 9: the seventh, But I really enjoy you know, you want 603 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 9: to compete against the best, and and uh, you know, 604 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 9: I think that's like I said, I think it's good 605 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 9: for baseball.

So we did ticket yesterday, Kratz. 625 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 5: Now let's move to handle and I did the one 626 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 5: oh one or the four to one one for anyone 627 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 5: that needed a little bit of help on what the 628 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 5: difference is. This is where the big money's going USA. 629 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 4: Thirty nine percent of the money being placed on the 630 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 4: World Baseball Classic winner is on USA, and they're minus money. 631 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 5: They're like one tennis. It's moved around a little bit 632 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 5: something like that. 633 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 4: Okay, dr is getting twenty four percent of the pie 634 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 4: and then Venezuela at seventeen percent. You get much better 635 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 4: odds with those two. Anything you can learn from the 636 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 4: trendsier I. 637 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 8: Mean the trends. I just feel like I feel like 638 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 8: maybe people are taking it, and the number will show 639 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 8: that people are taking it as all well, America, they 640 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 8: gotta have the best team that you know, there's just 641 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 8: so much going into this. When you get into the 642 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 8: semi finals, it's one game elimination. You might not have 643 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 8: the best It's not like they're gonna say, all right, 644 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 8: one game elimination. We aren't know Scooba's only throwing one game. 645 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 8: Maybe it doesn't line up that this person's gonna pitch 646 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 8: to this lineup and you catch a game. That's what's 647 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 8: so great about this and that's why it's so tough 648 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 8: for me to go with the favorite in the US. 649 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 8: If I'm putting money down, I'm with some of the 650 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 8: public here where the Venezuela, the dr even Japan. I 651 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 8: think we're getting plus three hundred earlier in the week. 652 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 8: I didn't see it today, but to me where that's 653 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 8: where the money is in this just because it is 654 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 8: such a tough, tough tournament to win, and that's what 655 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 8: we're picking here who wins. 656 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 4: I think the key, also, Kip, is that the quote 657 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 4: playoffs for the WBC start just about instantly, right. You 658 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 4: have pool play for five seconds and then it's such 659 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 4: a quick tournament and it's single elimination. We get enough 660 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 4: variants in the postseason sometimes that if you now turn 661 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 4: this into a winner take all, you know in the quarters, 662 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 4: the semis and the finals, it's just really really putting 663 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 4: you in a position to see an upset. And that's 664 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 4: why for me, as much as the USA team looks 665 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 4: really good, if I'm throwing money down on a winner, 666 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 4: I'm not going there. 667 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: It's especially I mean with these guys because a lot 668 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: of times the veterans who are playing on Team USA 669 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: are playing on all these teams. You build up to it, 670 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: you build up to the major league season, and so 671 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 1: you might be building up to that six seven innings 672 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: to a full game right before the season starts. So 673 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: you kind of want to get started a little sooner. 674 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: You want to be on your game a little bit sooner, 675 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: because like you guys are saying that, it's like if 676 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: one team comes in is just offered, didn't get enough 677 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: at bats, or isn't ready fully yet, they are very 678 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: prone to an upset and that can happen very easily. 679 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,959 Speaker 2: So it is a little bit of a crapshoot. You 680 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 2: hope the. 681 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: Cream rises to the top fast, but there is no guarantee, 682 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: especially in this format that the WBC has. 683 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 4: And if you're placing some WBC bets next week, you 684 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 4: might want to opt into this promotion.
