1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: All Star Kyle Stowers joining us right now at Marlins Camp. Kyle,

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: great to have you on here, and I do want

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: to start there. How do you sum up twenty twenty

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: five before you enter this twenty twenty six regular season?

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think.

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 3: I think the coolest part is just to look back

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 3: at where I was at last year at this point,

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 3: and it's been quite different circumstances. So just grateful to

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 3: be in the spot that I'm in now. And man,

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 3: this time last year I was kind of in a

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 3: full panic modes. It's so nice to not be in

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 3: that spot as much.

13
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 4: He's big time. He didn't even have to play it

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 4: today against Team Missions. He's so big time now he

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 4: picks and chooses. He's like, oh, they're not a real

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 4: big league team. I don't want to play against them today,

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 4: So Clayton, I'm taking the day all.

18
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 5: Well.

19
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: Last year, Kyle, during a time like this, you're getting

20
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: ready for a spring training game. How different was it

21
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: for you from a prep standpoint? Right now, you're prepping

22
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: for being your best self in the regular season. Last year,

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: in spring training you're trying to make a name for

24
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: yourself and make sure that the team knows you're here

25
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: to stay.

26
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I think, you know, And there's there's still

27
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 3: a little bit of that, you know, like I don't

28
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 3: want to lose the edge that you know, I think

29
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: I've had in all the you know, big leagu camps

30
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: I've been in, Like I think, you know, all I

31
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 3: know is going into spring training needing to be ready

32
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: to compete, you know, and compete for a job. And

33
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: so you know, for me, it's not like, oh, like

34
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 3: you know, let's just you know, keep the punt off,

35
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 3: the gas pedal until you know, the season starts. For me,

36
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: there's you know, just trying to be intentional with my

37
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 3: work and yeah, we have a little bit more perspective

38
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: of you know, you know, you don't want to you know,

39
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: go maybe full gas you know, at all times.

40
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: But that being said, I don't don't want to lose

41
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: that edge of competing.

42
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 4: How do you turn it off?

43
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: That's probably I don't know how to turn off.

44
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 4: You said, you know you're not going full gas, But

45
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 4: how do you turn it off in a in a game,

46
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 4: in a spring training.

47
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that I think when it's when it comes

48
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: to the game and it comes I think for me,

49
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: it's like rather than it's less about the games, I

50
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: would say. I would say it's more in the cage maybe,

51
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: like if I'm not feeling as good as I will,

52
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: rather than like trying to hack it out in the day.

53
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: You know, it's being a little bit more mindful of

54
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: stuff like that, you know, especially I think finishing the

55
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: year injured, the last month injured, you know, just being

56
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 3: a little bit more mindful that we're trying to trying

57
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: to get through, you know, hopefully into October, right, And

58
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 3: so I think that's where the changes.

59
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 5: Are for me.

60
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 4: Are you a big swinger or do you take a

61
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 4: million swing?

62
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a guy that can definitely spend a lot

63
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: of time in the cage and probably probably too much.

64
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 4: And what about like live VP? Do you are you

65
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 4: a taker? Are you a are you a watcher? And

66
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 4: then you don't want to swing and all of a

67
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 4: sudden you swing.

68
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: That's a that's an interesting conversation. I was talking about

69
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: that with a few guys. I feel like early in

70
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: camp I've done both, like I've done you know in

71
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: years past, I've done. Hey, I'm going to see a

72
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 3: pitch every single time, no matter what, for as long

73
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: as I can and then but I also feel like

74
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: I get more calibrated by swinging, and you know, even

75
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: if that, you know, by being a little bit more

76
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: aggressive and seeing kind of where my misses are.

77
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: You know, So I think, you know, i'd say definitely

78
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: someone who likes to swing.

79
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 6: How do you get besides like being able to mitigate

80
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 6: your exertion in spring training, how do you get ready

81
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 6: for all one sixty two plus October that you didn't

82
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 6: get ready or you weren't prepared or told how to

83
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 6: get ready before.

84
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's something I'm still still learning about.

85
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 5: You know.

86
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: Last year was my first full year in the major leagues,

87
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: and so you know, I guess you know, part of

88
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 3: I actually, you know, I would take it to you guys.

89
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: What were some things that you guys learned during your career?

90
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: Because you guys were.

91
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 4: Hit all off season, so that helped. Yeah, so you

92
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: don't seem like you're gonna pull that one off. No,

93
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 4: that's that's not that's not yeah, that's not me. But

94
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: I still figuring it out.

95
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 3: I think, you know, just getting better at I think

96
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: quality reps, you know, you know, quality over quantity, you know,

97
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: and and like I said, uh, you know, making sure that,

98
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: you know, if if something's not exactly where I want

99
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: to be at, if I'm not feeling my best you

100
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: know today, it's you know, rather than trying to you know,

101
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: uh take three steps in one day, being okay with

102
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: taking you know, one small step at a time.

103
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 4: Well, like I think it was Magley, we're doing is

104
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: or Carlos City when when the White Sox. I when

105
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 4: I got to the White Sox, they told me they

106
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 4: would say this. If they felt good, they would swing extra,

107
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 4: and they felt bad, they just stopped swinging that day.

108
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 4: They'd be like, you know what, instead of trying to

109
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: hit a thousand balls and swing your way out of it,

110
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 4: they said, hey, I feel like crap today. I'm just

111
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 4: gonna go play the game and go from there and

112
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 4: not try to work on it. And then if they

113
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: felt good, they'd take a little extra because they wanted

114
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 4: to get the good feeling locked in.

115
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that actually makes a ton of sense to me.

116
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: I think there's you know, because when you're not feeling good,

117
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: you not only you're probably thinking more and fatiguing yourself more.

118
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: And so I know, how often you know one of

119
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: those days that are that are just that happen that

120
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: are bad days? Do you really, you know, move the needle.

121
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: I think that's a great point. So I'm gonna probably

122
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 3: like take from them a little bit.

123
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 4: Just give me credit.

124
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 3: I will give somebody ask Yeah, yeah, hit fifty this year,

125
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: drove in one hundred and forty.

126
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 4: What happened last conversation? Yeah, look that was on foul

127
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 4: territory that I really told me.

128
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 2: I love it.

129
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 6: Everybody everybody wants to do better. Do you think you're

130
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 6: just gonna do better because you're going to play in

131
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 6: one hundred and sixty two games, you'll stay healthy? Or

132
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 6: do you see yourself taking a next step? I know

133
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 6: that's crazy to say to a lot of fans, but

134
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 6: when I watch you play, I feel like there's still

135
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,119
Speaker 6: low hanging fruit that you can improve on. A season

136
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 6: where you had over a nine hundred ops, you were

137
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 6: an All Star, you did so many things. But do

138
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 6: you see areas where you can improve where you like,

139
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 6: I'm good? You know I'll hang around right where I'm at.

140
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think one hundred percent I still

141
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 2: have room to improve. I think, you know.

142
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 3: The last thing I also want to say is like, uh,

143
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 3: you know that just because I had this.

144
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: Amazing year last year.

145
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 3: Just low, I just show up and it's going to

146
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 3: automatically happen again, you know, I know, you know, being

147
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 3: a guy who's not far removed from getting my butt

148
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: kicked at the major league level night in the night out,

149
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: you know, it's you know, I know, it's how much

150
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 3: it takes, you know, day in and day out to

151
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 3: to have success.

152
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 2: At this level.

153
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 3: And so but as far as like areas to improve,

154
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 3: I think just the quality of that bat continued to

155
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 3: get better and better as the year went on, being

156
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: smarter about situations, how teams were attacking me, and and

157
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: picking and choosing spots where where you know, you know,

158
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: maybe my focus was more hey like you know, try

159
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: to just take a good at bat and pass to

160
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: the next guy when when they were less aggressive to me,

161
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 3: or or you know, getting better at picking and choosing.

162
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: My spots, uh to to take take a chance on

163
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: a pitch.

164
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 4: Any extension talks, I know there was there was rumors

165
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 4: of some this offseason. Have they approached reapproached you about that?

166
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 5: Yeah?

167
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 2: Nothing, nothing since some of the ones that took place,

168
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: you know, uh, you know, I I love it here.

169
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's something that I'm definitely open to discussing.

170
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: And you know, but that being said, just you know,

171
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you the unfortunate.

172
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: Major in Stanford communications, So you're not a math major.

173
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: Not not a math math.

174
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 3: Math wasn't my wasn't my exceptional subject, unfortunately. But uh no,

175
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: I I'd love to do something and I'm very interested

176
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 3: in doing it. But at the same time, you know,

177
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: just trying to you know, like I said, it takes

178
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: a lot to try to have success at this level

179
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: and just trying to you know, think about it, and

180
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 3: that's signed like a ten year, four hundred million dollars deal.

181
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 3: How much stress is off your table?

182
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that would be nice.

183
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 5: But there is something to that.

184
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 6: There is something to the stress of trying to get

185
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 6: an extension. Some people are like, oh, who cares if

186
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 6: it's stress, you know, it's a lot of money. But

187
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 6: then there's also something to the idea of what you

188
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 6: were just saying, like being able to say, Okay, I'm

189
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 6: locked in. And I've seen guys have great years and

190
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 6: then after they were locked into an extension. Do you

191
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 6: feel that or do you see that in other players?

192
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: You know, I think how I look at it is

193
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 3: whether it's stat's money, you know, whatever it is. You know,

194
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 3: I think that stuff is a is a byproduct, right,

195
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: and you know, the last thing I want to do,

196
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 3: you know, is try to go. You know, I feel

197
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 3: like I have to have something or that I need

198
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 3: to be an all star or that I need to go,

199
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: you know, be the certain guy, you know, and and

200
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: skip all the steps and stuff that it takes to

201
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: get there. You know, I think, you know, for me,

202
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: what I really pride myself in is is how I

203
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: carry myself, how I treat people in the clubhouse, you know,

204
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: my work ethic, my mental routine, all that stuff and

205
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: whatever comes after that, you know, that's all. It's all gravy.

206
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: And you know, for me, there's this thing that I love.

207
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: I got it from a Cliffs and Strengths Finder coach

208
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: I talked to. It's called the the B do have,

209
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: you know, and we get it backwards. We act like

210
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: that we need to have something, and what we have

211
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: influences our you know, our actions, and then once we

212
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: act certainly, then we then we can, uh you know,

213
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: be that person you know, and and so I want

214
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 3: to be that the person you know. First you know,

215
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 3: for me, it starts with, you know, being a good husband, uh,

216
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 3: you know, being a good father. You know, when I

217
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: go home from the field, and you know, if I

218
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 3: can choose to be that guy, you know, be the

219
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: be a good teammate, work hard, all that stuff, you know,

220
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 3: then that influences, you know, what I do, and then

221
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: I think.

222
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: What I get from there is the byproduct of that.

223
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 6: How many times last year, just in the All Star

224
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 6: weekend did you think, man, I thought this was going

225
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 6: to happen in an Orange uniform. I thought this was

226
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 6: going to happen as an oriole Not saying you were

227
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 6: vindictive or hateful or anything like that, but how many

228
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 6: times during just that weekend, not during the season. What

229
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 6: did that thought come into your head?

230
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: You know, I think that's something the hindsight, I've thought

231
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: about a lot.

232
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 3: Actually, you know, I think what was super cool about

233
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 3: you know, I was when I got traded.

234
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: I wanted the trade to happen.

235
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 3: But at the same time, you know, it's very sad

236
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 3: to be leaving the group of guys that I was with.

237
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: And even now, I can, you know, still visualize what

238
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: that would have looked like. You know, you know, I

239
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 3: could visualize the world in which, you know, I was

240
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: an everyday player with the Orioles, with with those group

241
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 3: of guys, and I think, you know, with the chance

242
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: you know, stepping out into you know, outside of my

243
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: comfort zone into a new organization, you know, with a

244
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: with a new group of guys, I think that actually

245
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: allowed me to grow into you know, even more right.

246
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 3: And I think that was what was so cool about,

247
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: you know, everything that happened in Miami last year for

248
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: me was I think it actually you know, brought out

249
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: more of myself than maybe I might have had in Baltimore.

250
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 7: Hey, I have one more for you. I don't think

251
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 7: we had you after this happened.

252
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: So how did you reflect on the All Star Game

253
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: experience and the history that you made. We never saw

254
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: the swing off before it ended up being super fun.

255
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: So when you were able to kind of reflect, take

256
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: a second, can you take us through any of the

257
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: inner workings there of how that all went down and

258
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: how that, you know, just gives you even more of

259
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: a boost from the year that you had.

260
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was so terrified when they told me I

261
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: was going to be doing that. What I was you know,

262
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 3: I'm a guy, you know, fear of failure, performing anxiety

263
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: some I worked through a lot, but uh, you know

264
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: when they I you know, I like, I'm the guy,

265
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 3: you know, the day before I see our schedule, like

266
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 3: to visualize my day, plan it out, all that stuff.

267
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 2: And so when they told me that all of a sudden,

268
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 2: I was so nervous. And then but then the.

269
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: Coolest thing was, you know, was after it happened, I

270
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: was just so grateful that I got the chance to

271
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: be a part of that. And once, you know, once

272
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 3: I got in the box, you know, just as like

273
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 3: when we when we play, you know, you you turn

274
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 3: a snap into competitive mode and try to simplify things

275
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 3: and not get worried about, you know, any of the

276
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: you know what ifs and all that stuff. And it

277
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: was nice because I actually struck out twice in the game,

278
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: so the talkaway experience with my family was all about

279
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 3: to swing off.

280
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 2: So that was that was nice.

281
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 4: If we're beating shoreb anyways, So.

282
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, thankfully he was on my teams.

283
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, exactly, you got to walk away with the

284
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 4: w exactly. Yeah, that was really a common thread here

285
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 4: he went to Stanford. I mentioned it every Stanford guy

286
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 4: ever played with I don't know about your crash. Overthinks

287
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 4: over smart, tells me how smart they are. Oh, I

288
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 4: went to Stanford. It's like, I don't understand what's so Stanford.

289
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 4: Soone was turned down Stanford. We all don't have to

290
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 4: go to Stanford.

291
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 7: He did, he did.

292
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: Hinch tried to recruit him over at Stanford A J.

293
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: Hinch and presents.

294
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,280

319
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,760

00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 8: to be a reliever. But uh, I mean I've been

321

337
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,800

338
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: Man.

339
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 5: I just stuck around baseball.

00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 8: But now in Miami, man, I gotta show some gotta

341
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,640

342
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 8: Now stay away from I know, I know, I uh,

343
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 8: my wife would be upset if.

344
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 5: I was anywhere near there. This clinch, let's clench a

345
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 5: spot and then then we can convince her.

346
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, absolutely. So what are you looking forward to

347
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 4: this year with.

348
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 8: The Carleans dude? I mean, just being around those guys

349
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 8: was such a blast. Like you guys said, it was

350
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 8: kind of a grind throughout my career.

351
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 5: Uh.

352
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 8: You know, I was like nine years in the minor

353
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 8: leagues and then you know, I went to Philly. God,

354
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 8: I love those guys like, I had so much respect

355
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 8: for them, but it was hard for me to fit in.

356
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 8: Just as a rookie. I was being timid and I

357
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 8: was trying to take it all in like everyone said.

358
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 8: But I was letting that leak into my performance. And

359
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 8: once I got over here, I thought it was just

360
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 8: gonna be the weird new guy. Everybody there was a

361
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 8: weird new guy. You know, everyone was a rookie. All

362
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 8: the coaching staff was like their first year. Uh So

363
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 8: I'm just I'm just excited to go into battle with

364
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 8: these guys again. Like I think we do a good

365
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 8: job of of playing for each other, not making it

366
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 8: very selfish bullpen.

367
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 5: I'm super excited for that. You know.

368
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 8: Obviously the addition of Pete we got, John King, we

369
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 8: got they were both in Texas with me, so we

370
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 8: got the Texas Marlins coming around, Brandon Mann also Texas,

371
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 8: Ryan Riquez Texas. So now I'm just excited to just

372
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 8: get into compete moe with these guys again and uh

373
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 8: just get after it, try to make a name for ourselves.

374
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 6: Do you regret not being you when you first got

375
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 6: called up? Because I know what it's like to wait

376
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 6: a long time in the minor leagues and then you

377
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 6: get to the big leagues and you're like, I'm older

378
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 6: than a lot of these guys, but I need to

379
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 6: be a rookie. Like everybody says you're a rookie. Do

380
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 6: you regret that?

381
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 5: Yeah? Man, that's the thing, Like I just I didn't

382
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 5: know what to expect.

383
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 8: Like I think from so many years in the minor leagues,

384
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 8: I just like like I knew that I saw myself

385
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 8: as a big leaguer. I knew that I belonged there,

386
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 8: but once I got there, I wanted to be that

387
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 8: good rookie. So I was just creating extra jobs for myself.

388
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 8: We're at the end of the day, like, you know,

389
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 8: like these guys aren't going to be upset with me

390
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 8: if I'm showing my colors as long as I'm performing,

391
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 8: as long as I'm doing the right thing, like obviously

392
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 8: don't be like out of like just completely obnoxious, like

393
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 8: guys are still trying to do their jobs. But yeah, man,

394
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 8: I wish I wish I kept that fire, Like I

395
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 8: was scared to show it on the field. I was

396
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 8: scared to show guys up, you know, Like I remember

397
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 8: specifically facing like Freddie Freeman, like probably the hardest at

398
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 8: out that I'll have, but uh, I didn't want to

399
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 8: like stare him down or I didn't want to be

400
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 8: the bulldog mentality I had on the mound because I

401
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 8: was like, oh what if I what if I upset

402
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 8: this guy?

403
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 5: You know, like at the end of the day, if

404
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 5: I do what I'm gonna do.

405
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 8: I think I'll get more respect out of him than

406
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 8: if I was to go in there being timid and

407
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 8: have a four pitch walk, you know. Uh so, yeah,

408
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 8: I do regret it. I wish, I wish that I

409
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 8: kept that bulldog mentality. But you know, everything happens for

410
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 8: a reason, and and here we are now, and I

411
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 8: learned a lot from that, from that year of being

412
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 8: that little kid. So now now we're here.

413
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 4: Is that why you didn't slap yourself when you're in Philly?

414
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 4: I mean you could have got Price or Schwobur or

415
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 4: somebody to smack.

416
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 8: Tim I did some other stuff in Philly that you know,

417
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 8: those guys know about it. I can't share that on

418
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 8: the air, but dude, honestly, I just slapped myself as

419
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 8: I got mad warming up one day, like if my

420
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 8: stuff felt like it's my thing, now like it, but

421
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 8: like there's science behind while I do it. Like I said,

422
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 8: I give up like four runs the two outages prior

423
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 8: they throw it right back in the fire.

424
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 5: That's how it is.

425
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 8: And dude, it was like eighty It felt like I

426
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 8: wasn't spending the ball. I just stepped off the Mountain,

427
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 8: grinding my teeth. It was like nobody at this game.

428
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 8: I just said, I'm just gonna punish myself, and I

429
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 8: hit myself and I went out there. Velocity jumped, the

430
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 8: spin was spinning. So like we're doing this from now on. Uh,

431
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 8: this time training game, I'm doing it in spring games,

432
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 8: so before you take them mount and.

433
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been doing it.

434
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 4: It's like fight Club. We don't talk about Fight Club.

435
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 5: A little bit. I think I love that movie. But no, man'.

436
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 4: You're Edward Norton.

437
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 5: I gotta I gotta get sorry. If you haven't seen

438
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 5: Fight Club for you know, you have to see that movie.

439
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 5: He's it's it's good.

440
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 8: Tyler Durden, Yeah, Tyler Diurton, Dude, what an unbelievable alter

441
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 8: ego that would be you. You got to get some

442
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 8: like mesh shirts, right, just like this one cut off

443
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 8: mesh shirt to gum have the shape makes I don't

444
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 8: have the hair for it. Make soap, but uh make

445
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 8: soap for sure. No, But honestly, like my the reason

446
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 8: that I do do it is, yes, I was upset,

447
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 8: but I I started understanding why it was working for me.

448
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 5: There was nerves going in the games. You got a

449
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 5: lot of it.

450
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 8: There's an adrenaline spike when your name is called. You

451
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 8: don't always know like you're prepared, but you know the starter.

452
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 8: Let's say Sandy set the tone. He just went seven innings, right.

453
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 8: I don't want to be the guy to like ruin

454
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 8: that outing for him. So as your first year out

455
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 8: of the bullpen, especially you're sitting there, there's thoughts that

456
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 8: creep in. There's demons, you know, like you're really good guys.

457
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 8: They're really good because they don't have those thoughts.

458
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 5: What do they do? And they know how to get

459
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 5: rid of them. That's my way of doing it.

460
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 8: Like I I cross that line, Well, the second they

461
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 8: call my name, I'm grinding my teeth.

462
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 5: I'm making up lives. What the hitter say about my family,

463
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 5: about my wife, and.

464
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 8: I'm just pissed off, just pacing back and forth on

465
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 8: the mound out there, just trying to look tougher than

466
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 8: I actually am.

467
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 5: I mean, look at me, but uh, once I.

468
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 8: Crossed that that gate and I hit myself, I just

469
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 8: got punched in the mouth by whoever. And there's fight

470
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 8: or flight there. I wasn't raised to run away from stuff.

471
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 8: There's no retreating back to that bullpen. So I hit myself.

472
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 8: It's time to go, It's time to fight. That's my

473
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 8: my alter eg you know, like like a Jesus is

474
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 8: Ardo's he's got his song glasses. That's his alter ego.

475
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 8: That's my way of flipping the switch. And uh, you

476
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 8: know we talked about burning the boat. It's like, I

477
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 8: hit myself. I'm burning my boats back there. I can't

478
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 8: run back. It's time to go into battle. So it

479
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 8: works for me, and I love it. I'm not going

480
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 8: to stop.

481
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 6: Everybody sees you do that, it becomes viral. Everybody sees

482
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 6: you out in the mound. Postgame interviews are like Jonathan

483
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 6: Papelbon esque where you're saying like words and we just

484
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 6: don't even like nothing's really coherent because you're in a

485
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 6: different zone. You've explained that, well, how long does that

486
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 6: take for you to come down from? This is something

487
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 6: that play People that never played don't understand. It just

488
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 6: doesn't turn off. So how long does that take you?

489
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 5: Yeah? Man, I mean I think it depends on the outing.

490
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 8: Like the one interview, I was, I was mad man,

491
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 8: like I do like thirty five pitches a day before,

492
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 8: you know, I was groomed as a starter, I want

493
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 8: to go nine innings every time, even like as a reliever.

494
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 8: My mentality is like you are prying this ball out

495
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 8: of my hand, like I'm gonna go nine if you

496
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 8: asked me to go nine.

497
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 5: If it goes into extras. To be honest, it takes

498
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 5: a while.

499
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 8: We're going through our post game like talks that we

500
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 8: have and I'm still in there fuming. Man and guys

501
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 8: just kind of leave it alone. And then usually when

502
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 8: I'm done lifting, if I had a lift that day,

503
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 8: it's gone. Or you know, I got my good friend

504
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 8: Lake Baker, he shows up, he's he's got a good

505
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 8: way of calming me down. So but now I think

506
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 8: once we get inside, we go through the team meeting,

507
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 8: whatever it is, the post game.

508
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 5: Kind of kind of cool down. I like the game too.

509
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 8: I stay up late and I go back into compete mode.

510
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 8: I'd say after the lift though, maybe two hours.

511
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 6: Do you ever watch do you ever watch other dudes

512
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 6: throw and get just as amped. What made me think

513
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 6: of the question was, you know, I talked to some

514
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 6: relievers during the postseason that weren't that weren't pitching in

515
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 6: the postseason. They were already at home and they were

516
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 6: watching dudes come in and do what those guys did

517
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 6: for their team, going four or five. Do you ever

518
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 6: get pumped or do you ever get like, like almost

519
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 6: jealous that you're like, I'm not. I would love to

520
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 6: be in that situation when you watch those guys.

521
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 5: Yeah.

522
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 8: No, I mean I went to this. I was still

523
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 8: a minor league at the time. I went to a

524
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 8: Phillies playoff game. I showed them on like the sixth inning,

525
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 8: and my blood was was going, man like I was.

526
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 8: I felt like the hairs on my next and up

527
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 8: I was. I want those big situations.

528
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 5: I get. I get excited watching guys throw.

529
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 8: I've been watching Paddock throw and work on some pitches

530
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 8: and I'm just again, hairs are standing up. I'm like, God,

531
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 8: I want to I want to start throwing right now,

532
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 8: like I want to get out there.

533
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 7: Uh.

534
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 8: But yeah, watching those those huge innings, it was, Yeah,

535
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 8: I'm jealous. Like I it was hard for me to

536
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 8: watch some playoff games. My wife wanted to watch them, uh,

537
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 8: and I just couldn't do it because I'm just I'm

538
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 8: sitting there like just itching to get out there.

539
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 4: You know, you have a skit like Paddock. You know,

540
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 4: he has a skit where he comes in like a cowboy,

541
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 4: pitches the day he comes.

542
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 5: To I love it.

543
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 8: He does it right now, he says, he's keeping it

544
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 8: low key. If I was a starter, I would think

545
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 8: about it. But I mean, you have your thing. I

546
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 8: have my thing, believer, But you can't do that when

547
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 8: you're a starter coming in because you have to last

548
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 8: for a long time, right, did it? Every inning the

549
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 8: game get sore? The game I started against the Philly

550
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 8: is like when I started getting tired in the second

551
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 8: in the second, in second after the in between the

552
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 8: second inning, in the third inning, I hit myself again,

553
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 8: like pitching moscows. He's talking to me about like, hey,

554
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 8: you got these guys coming up, and I'm just not listening.

555
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 8: I'm just staring at the ground. Legs bounce and I'm

556
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 8: just hitting myself. Yeah, I got some issues, but yeah, no,

557
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 8: I love Paddocks thing. Man. Yeah I get But to

558
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 8: answer that question, I do get jealous, like I want

559
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 8: that big stuff, like I want those big outings. It's

560
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 8: the adrenaline. It's it's such a drug, man, And there's

561
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 8: no better feeling.

562
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 6: That, right, Relievers or starters going to the bullpen is

563
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 6: maybe one of my most fond memories of being a

564
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 6: backup catcher that didn't play, just sitting in the bullpen

565
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 6: and watching starters go down to the bullpen and like

566
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 6: fidget and then all of a sudden you hear.

567
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 5: Lu lu lulu lu lulu, and they're like, it's probably me.

568
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 5: I'm probably the one going into the get like relax.

569
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 6: How much of a transition or how much did you

570
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 6: get made fun of or were you like you have

571
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 6: any moments where you were like in the bullpen going

572
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 6: like starting pitchers even start yelling at like the fans

573
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 6: because they've never been down in the bullpen.

574
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, relax, relax.

575
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 6: And sixty two days.

576
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 8: I think it took me two weeks to transition from

577
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 8: that from that role. You know, I had the iPad,

578
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 8: I was, I had the notes, the iPad, I was

579
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 8: reading everything. You can't do that for one sixty two Man,

580
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 8: you're gonna you're gonna fry yourself. You're gonna burn yourself out.

581
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 8: So once I got tired after that two week mark,

582
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 8: I just put the iPad down. I said, dude, whatever

583
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 8: if I get hit, I get hit. Uh, now you

584
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 8: throw your best stuff. But dude, I'm yelling at fans

585
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 8: all the time. So again, stuff I can't say on air.

586
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 8: But you know, like if you're an enemy territory, people

587
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 8: people want to get give you their give you a

588
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 8: piece of their mind.

589
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 5: I give it right back.

590
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 8: I don't think they probably should say that, but I

591
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 8: don't think they expect you to say anything back. So

592
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 8: I just I just let it rip and they just

593
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 8: usually they usually just stop, you know, like it catches

594
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 8: them so off hard. But yeah, like I think, uh,

595
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 8: let's say, like Jansen Junk and like Bozo, their routines, man,

596
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 8: they were doing everything.

597
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 5: I didn't do a thing.

598
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 8: I just stopped doing everything like I would do my

599
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 8: basic little couple of eye wash, hip flexor stretches, do

600
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 8: a couple of bands. I realized that once that phone rings,

601
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 8: Like I said that adrenaline, it's a powerful drug, man,

602
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 8: Like it hits and you don't need a warm up.

603
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 8: Like obviously you're you're doing your stuff throughout the day,

604
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 8: like you take care of your body the right way.

605
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 8: We're professionals. But once you're out there, you're out there, like.

606
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 4: You when you sit in the bullpen, you seem like

607
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 4: someone that might get a little bored at times sitting

608
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,919
Speaker 4: in the bullpen. Are you a seed flicker?

609
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 5: Are you a Yeah?

610
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 4: I was the ILF occupied for the first five let's

611
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 4: say five.

612
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 5: Innings, well, the first three innings, I was the would

613
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 5: you rather guy?

614
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 4: Uh? And are you are you picking like the wood?

615
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 4: You rathers?

616
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 5: Yeah?

617
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're the dirty mine in the bull coming up there.

618
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 4: The most disgusting things you can think.

619
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 8: Of, pretty dirty yeah, against stuff. I can't share some

620
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 8: some pretty like stuff. It's just like, what are you

621
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 8: thinking about?

622
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 7: Matt.

623
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 8: There's somewhere guys just had to walk away, and I'm

624
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 8: just up there thinking of an answer for myself. We've

625
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 8: had the Mountain Valley bottles where where we've tried to

626
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 8: like shoot a seet into it. You know, it was

627
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 8: pretty fun that last ye about an ending before you

628
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 8: get tired of it. And then we usually just go

629
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 8: down and start making fun of of Beman, our bullpen coach,

630
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 8: you know, like we got this this joke in Arizona.

631
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 5: There's a water slide. It's the builtmore. Yeah. We just

632
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 5: always just we give him a bunch of crailid.

633
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 8: I didn't think I don't think he did it, but

634
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 8: I just he always felt he kept talking about it,

635
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 8: so I just I keep that joke going to this

636
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 8: day and we just try to get under his skin.

637
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 2: Uh.

638
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 8: And then at the end of the day, like I said,

639
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 8: I just I just go with the fans. You know, Miami,

640
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 8: we got that glass there too behind our bullpen, and

641
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 8: they got.

642
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 5: Like a bar.

643
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 4: So sometimes I think at the end of you then

644
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 4: they switched the bullpens at one time, because I probably

645
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 4: do know that they put the visitors over there. I

646
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 4: heard it was the home was on the other side.

647
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 4: I heard it was crazy like borderline, no clothes back there.

648
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 4: You know it's Miami.

649
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, it used to be.

650
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 4: I remember warming up the pitcher and there would be

651
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:13,919
Speaker 4: people back there, and you are like, yeah, well give

652
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 4: them for me, brown and give the old rubbing up

653
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 4: the ball look.

654
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 5: For me, don't worry, Uh.

655
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 8: To my wife, I was watching the baseball games on

656
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 8: the TVs and the baw all right, and towards the

657
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 8: end of the season, I'm an Eagles fan, you know,

658
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 8: some of the Birds games were on, so I was

659
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 8: keeping track of that. Yeah, I mean, I just it does.

660
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 8: It does get a little boring. That's why you just

661
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 8: got to be really close with your guys, and you know,

662
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 8: sometimes we talk ball. Sometimes we just just make up

663
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 8: ridiculous scenarios and just try to have fun.

664
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 6: It was, wait, do they not do the I think

665
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 6: it was Thursdays where they would have the body paint dancing.

666
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 6: Do they not do that anymore? Because you guys are

667
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 6: now because that was the visiting bullpen because the home

668
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 6: team was too distracted, So they don't do that anymore

669
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:00,719
Speaker 6: there in Miami.

670
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, I you know, it's it's a good thing that

671
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 8: I got there when I did, because they were not

672
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 8: doing any of that. If they were doing that, I

673
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 8: I like, it would have been so hard to like

674
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 8: lock in. There's there's already so much going on, and

675
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 8: people just knock them the glass. You literally feel like

676
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 8: a zoo animal.

677
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 5: Uh. At that point, I would have like, what are

678
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 5: we doing?

679
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 4: It used to be when they when they switched the visitors.

680
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 5: I heard it. I heard you couldn't even hear the

681
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,239
Speaker 5: phone ringing half the time. So you know, I think

682
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 5: they're they're making some some adjustments.

683
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 7: Someone sat there before it and said, what if we

684
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 7: build a night club?

685
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 4: Like I know, I know the people swimming in the

686
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 4: pool that should not be have no shirt on to

687
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 4: my plan that I've talked to.

688
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 8: I've talked to some higher up, some front like not

689
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 8: like baseball ops, but like stadium ops. Why what if

690
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 8: we named that club eleven like out there, but I

691
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 8: spelt it different than the Miami Club eleven, so when

692
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 8: people put the uber in, it actually brings them there

693
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 8: and we get more fans.

694
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 5: It's a club I haven't been to.

695
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 4: Oh good answer, not been there.

696
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 5: You've heard about heart. But what if we named it eleven?

697
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 5: Out there? So the uber brings them to the wrong place,

698
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 5: and now we have more fans. They're not who's gonna want.

699
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 4: To go back, you know, espectually to sell where eleven

700
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 4: is and we're the new eleven.

701
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 5: That's a long ways. They're gonna shay, you know what,

702
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 5: there's drinks here, we'll stay here, we'll watch a baseball game.

703
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 7: True, that is a brilliant, brilliant marketing idea.

704
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: The owners at eleven might be a little pissed, but

705
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: I feel like they're doing well enough that they can

706
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: handle a few people messing up their ubers and lifts

707
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: and going to the ballpark.

708
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 5: So I like it.

709
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 7: I'm all for it. We'll make sure the word gets

710
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 7: spread around to try and make that happen.

711
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 8: Right, I got, I got a lot of ridiculous takes, honestly,

712
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 8: twenty four to seven, So people don't really listen to

713
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 8: what I say.

714
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 5: It's hard to take me serious.

715
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: All right, Well, next time we have you on, we'll

716
