Speaker 1: in this one.

10
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, David Pews was fun. We'vent talked a little bit

11
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 2: after the show off camera. Just amazing to see a

12
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: guy who, like we've seen developed so much actually talk

13
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: about pitching and you can really just feel his level

14
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: of competitiveness, his knowledge, his desire to be great, like

15
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: his like just how like grounded he is, and just

16
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 2: really cool talk pitching with him. He's a fascinating story

17
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: to a group of Colorado first round pick like organ Ducks. Like,

18
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: there's a lot that went into making David Peters in

19
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 2: the picture he is right now. A lot this made

20
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 2: him develop the last few years. It's gonna be cool

21
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: to share that with you guys.

22
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 1: And I will say I feel like I just haven't

23
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: heard a lot about David Peterson, like from him.

24
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, no one's really ever talked about David Pearson.

25
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: Some of the fantasy baseball folks are finally starting to

26
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: get on him, starting to realize that he was missing

27
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: tons of bats last year. The fastball, slider's legit, the

28
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: curve ball's coming on. So cool to hear the inside.

29
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: But definitely, and we're happy that we get to be

30
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: the guys who give you that insight.

31
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 3: So here is David Peterson. Hope you guys enjoy what's up?

32

Speaker 1: First off, how's it feel to be back with the

38
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: boys practicing getting ready for games that spring training?

39
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, it feels good.

40
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 5: It's always fun to kind of get back and be

41
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 5: around the guys and see everybody, and yeah, I know

42
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 5: we're about to start games, so it's getting exciting.

43
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 2: Start left to the general here with are some of

44
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: your expectations for the team this season after such a

45
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: big offseason.

46
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 5: I think it's definitely want to get the new guys

47
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 5: kind of acclimated with everybody and get everyone on the

48
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 5: same page, and then you know, when the season starts,

49
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 5: get down to business and play our game and see

50
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 5: where it goes. Personally, Is there anything you're trying to

51
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 5: accomplish yourself this year? Yeah, you know, I think I

52
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 5: just being able to help the team win. However, I

53
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 5: can obviously play as well as I can and be

54
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 5: a value option for this team of course.

55
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: Is there anything you're working out, particularly the spring that

56
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: could be different adjustment to something of that nature.

57
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there's a couple of things. Mechanically, just

58
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 5: cleaning some stuff up and making sure that all of

59
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 5: my pitches are where I want to be, and being

60
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 5: able to use my body as effishent as possible with

61
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 5: the way that I'm moving.

62
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: We saw that from your summer of eighth grade to

63
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: the high school freshman year you gained ten inches.

64
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 4: Is that true? First off?

65
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was.

66
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 5: During my eighth grade year, I grew ten inches.

67
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 1: What was that like for your game, Like, with every

68
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: you gotta feel like a new person, Yeah.

69
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 4: No, I did.

70
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 5: It was there were some tough days there with growing

71
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 5: pains and stuff like that.

72
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 4: And yeah, I did.

73
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 5: I mean, I felt definitely felt different after the giant gross.

74
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: Spurt, and I think it took a little.

75
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 5: While for me to kind of get used to kind

76
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 5: of the new way that things were, and.

77
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 6: That's it.

78
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 5: It took me a little while to kind of grown

79
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 5: in my body.

80
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 2: Are there any atage, howle with being such a tall

81
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: pitcher in terms of repeating mechanics and staying consistent.

82
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I.

83
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 5: Think there's definitely a component of with more length, there's

84
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 5: more moving parts, and I think that's one thing that

85
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 5: you're constantly trying to work on, is keeping things in

86
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 5: the right spot and keeping things tight to work as

87
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 5: efficiently as possible.

88
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: Last year we saw you, I mean, the slider was

89
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: absolutely disgusting. Was there any adjustment that you feel like

90
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: you personally made to, you know, improve upon that slider?

91
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I think that's always been a pitch

92
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 5: for me that I could kind of lean on, especially

93
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 5: as an outpitch, and I think it's just some.

94
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: Of the work that we did.

95
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 5: We didn't really do anything crazy, but just continuing to

96
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 5: refine it and try and make it the best version

97
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 5: that I can. And I think I was able to

98
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 5: see some good results with it, and it was definitely

99
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 5: last year in a place that I wanted it to

100
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 5: be at.

101
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: We've read from some other pitchers in the past who

102
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: grew up in Colorado, specifically Kevin Gaussman and Marco Gonzalez,

103
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: that it's a little bit difficult to develop a breaking

104
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: ball in your youth just because of the air density

105
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: in Colorado, and we see that you guys go to

106
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: chors all the time. Do you experience any of that

107
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: growing up and that have anything to do with your

108
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: repertoire like earlier life, like high school, college style?

109
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 5: I would say early on, not really. I don't think

110
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 5: it was really something I was focused on. It was

111
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 5: more of I think when I got into professional baseball

112
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 5: and I was spending my off seasons there and in

113
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 5: the in the summer, I don't think you see as

114
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 5: much of a drastic difference, but it definitely when I

115
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 5: started to throw breaking stuff in the off season. Sometimes

116
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 5: it's get a little frustrated because it's not doing what

117
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 5: you want it to or you're not seeing the results,

118
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 5: but it's always fun after throwing there and then coming

119
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 5: down to Florida and it starts moving like crazy, so

120
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 5: it's it's good we.

121
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: Got the pitch clock this year. How are you feeling

122
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 4: about that?

123
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean, we'll see how it goes. Personally,

124
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 5: as a guy that likes to work faster, I don't.

125
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 5: I don't think it's necessarily gonna affect me in terms

126
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 5: of rushing me much. And then I was able to

127
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 5: work with it a little bit last year in Syracuse

128
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 5: and so got to try it out a little bit,

129
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 5: so it's not gonna be completely foreign to me. But yeah,

130
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 5: I mean, we'll definitely see how it goes and how

131
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 5: guys adjust to it.

132
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: It made kind of a change your pitch MIxS last year,

133
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: throwing much more force seamers than sinkers compared to twenty

134
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: twenty one.

135
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: What was the reason for that?

136
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 5: I think the four team has always been something that's

137
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 5: kind of been a work in progress for me. I

138
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 5: started throwing it a lot more in college up in

139
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 5: the zone to get hitters to chase, and then as

140
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 5: I've come through pro ball and especially in the big leagues,

141
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 5: really trying to make that a fastball that I can

142
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 5: use at any time. And last year it worked out

143
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 5: that in a lot of matchups that was the better

144
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 5: fastball against hitters, and the four team is a lot

145
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 5: easier to establish inside to rieties especially, and so I

146
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 5: think that's kind of the main component of is the

147
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 5: importance of pitching inside and making sure hitters know that

148
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 5: you'll go in there, and then having the two seams

149
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 5: still that moves away from riotys and sinks into lefties.

150
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 5: So yeah, I think it only makes my think or better,

151
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 5: but I think that the forcene itself is a valuable

152
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 5: asset for me, especially playing along with this lider.

153
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: What's it like to be on a pitching staff with

154
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: Max Schers or Justin Berlin or future Hall of famers.

155
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 5: It's cool and there's a lot of knowledge in the room,

156
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 5: and so it's been fun. Last year was a lot

157
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 5: of fun to work with Max and really pick his

158
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 5: brain and kind of see how he worked and what's

159
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 5: made him the guy that he is. And I'm looking

160
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 5: forward to kind of doing the same with Justin Is

161
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 5: getting to know him mores as we get along, and yeah,

162
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 5: kind of seeing what I can take from him and

163
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 5: just continue to learn.

164
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: On a similar note, has been working with Jeremy Hefner

165
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 2: for the last few years.

166
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 4: It's been awesome.

167
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 5: Half and I work well together, and he's really good

168
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 5: at communicating with us, whether you're data driven and you

169
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 5: want all that stuff where you're more of a guy

170
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 5: like myself, where a lot of it's based off of feel,

171
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 5: and he's got such a good insight as to how

172
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 5: the data plays with what I'm feeling. And it's been

173
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 5: really good and it's been fun to watch him kind

174
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 5: of grow into that position. You know, he was came

175
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 5: in as a coach so close to the got done playing,

176
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 5: and I think it's it's only been more fun to

177
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 5: see him just grow in that position and really thrive.

178
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: Last year you were making starts, you're coming out of

179
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: the bullpen. What would you say the biggest change in

180
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: your preparation is when you have to, you know, change

181
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: your role a little bit.

182
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 5: I think a lot of it is the throwing component.

183
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 5: You know, when you're on a five day rotation, you've

184
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 5: you've got your your four days that are scripted.

185
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 6: Out, and.

186
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 5: You really I mean, you do the same thing over

187
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 5: and over again. And I think when you're relieving, depending

188
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 5: on how often you're throwing and how much you're being used,

189
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 5: that kind of dictate dictates you're throwing. So the daily

190
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 5: throwing stuff, and then you know, just always being ready

191
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 5: when you're out of the bullpen.

192
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: Pull about back away from baseball for a little bit,

193
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: What do you like to do when you're.

194
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 5: Not you're not playing Love to play golf. I turn

195
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 5: to play golf as much as I can. It's kind

196
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 5: of for me one thing that is a competitive thing

197
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 5: that's different than baseball. But at the same time, there's

198
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 5: a lot of things for me that with golf go

199
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 5: along with baseball. And so there's some stuff, especially on

200
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 5: the mental side of the game, that I can kind

201
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 5: of work on and refine while not always thinking in

202
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 5: a baseball sense of.

203
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: Think a good way to like manage frustrations.

204
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's true.

205
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 4: If you weren't playing baseball, what would you be doing?

206
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 5: I don't know. I mean, I'd love to say playing golf,

207
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 5: but I don't think I'm I don't think I'm that

208
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 5: good yet, you know, I don't know. It's this is

209
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 5: always the thing that I've wanted to do and ever

210
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 5: since I was young, playing baseball and being a major

211
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 5: leaguer was was a dream.

212
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: And so.

213
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's just it's not really been my

214
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 5: focus in terms of what else would I be doing.

215
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 5: You know, I'm enjoying what I do for a living,

216
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 5: and it's been a lot of fun.

217
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: It's kind of like SpongeBob with fine dining and breathing.

218
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: It's like there's nothing else, no other option. You became

219
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: a dad in the last season has been just verstal graduations,

220
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 2: Thank you. Has been adjusting to fatherhood while being a

221
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 2: major leaguer.

222
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 5: It was good, you know, that's that's something for me

223
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 5: outside of sports. That was always a life goal is

224
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 5: to have kids and have a family. And so my

225
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 5: wife and I are super excited, and it was good

226
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 5: at the end of the season to go back home

227
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 5: during the offseason and be there every day and have

228
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:13,840

00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 4: Thank you.

236
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: So that was David Peterson. Next up, we have Tyler

237
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,599
Speaker 1: McGill for you. Like we said, another great interview. You

238
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: got to learn about the nickname Big Drip. Just being

239
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: around these players is always so interesting because you have

240
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: an idea of what they're like and then you get

241
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: to meet them and they're almost exactly the same, which

242
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: is really cool.

243
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 3: And I felt that with Tyler McGill.

244
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: And he's also just another large human who just dwarf

245
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: makes us look like dwarves.

246
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 2: One of the biggest humans I've ever come across in

247
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 2: my entire life. Also, when you guys hear him say

248
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: why his nickname is Big Drip, you're probably gonna laugh.

249
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: So just get ready for that one.

250
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, get ready for that. So here's Tyler McGill. Hope

251
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 3: you guys enjoy.

252
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 4: What's up, Mets fans.

253
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: We're back here with another interview at spring training at

254
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: Clover Park. We're joined today with Tyler McGill. Tyler, thank

255
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,440

256
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: to be back up in Florida getting ready?

257
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 6: It was great, It's exciting. I've been waiting since.

258
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 7: Obviously, we finished the season a couple of weeks at downtime,

259
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 7: and then obviously you're ready to get going and get back.

260
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 6: Here and get it going again.

261
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: Of Course, the team had an unbelievable off season, bring

262
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 2: in a lot of talented players. What are your expectations

263
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: for this team this year?

264
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 7: Obviously World Series, so I mean just you know, playing

265
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 7: each day, winning each day, that's the goals, just waiting

266
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 7: to say, and you know, take it as far as

267
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 7: we can win sixty two and on.

268
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: What about expectations for yourself this season? Anything you're trying

269
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: to accomplish.

270
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 7: Staying healthy that's the biggest thing, schol and just being

271
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 7: able to make my start every fifth day or whatever

272
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 7: I'm doing for pitching, and just you know, being able

273
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 7: to us you stay healthy a full season. That's the

274
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 7: biggest thing for me.

275
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: You probably have one of the better nicknames, not only

276
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: on this team, but then all of Major League Baseball,

277
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: Big Drip.

278
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 7: Yeah.

279
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 2: Can you tell us where that came from? The origin

280
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 2: of it?

281
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 7: Cameron Maven when I was in TRIPAA. He played with

282
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 7: my brother when he was with the Cubs, and he

283
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 7: was saying, oh, like me and my brother pull our

284
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 7: opposites from each other. He's very outgoing and whatnot, and me,

285
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 7: I'm very just laid back.

286
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 6: I guess you could say like that, just chill out.

287
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, I thought it was gonna be something like

288
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: he had like good yeah, yeah, soon working all that.

289
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 4: You mentioned your brother major league pitcher as well.

290
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: How was the competition between you guys growing up being

291
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean two really good pictures.

292
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 7: Well, I mean I didn't start pitching until maybe my

293
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 7: sophomore year in high school, so for that I was

294
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 7: a catcher. But I mean competition wise, I mean we've

295
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 7: always pushed each other to you know, be better, and

296
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 7: then obviously come college and prow ball, you know, it

297
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 7: was all about helping each other, you know, picking each

298
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 7: other's brains and just you know, trying to make ourselves

299
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 7: better players.

300
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 6: Overall.

301
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: Who's got the nastier stuff right now than can you

302
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: thin compete that much?

303
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 6: Growing up?

304
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 7: I don't know too totally different pictures. I mean, he

305
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 7: does some things better than me and I do something.

306
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: Your family's pretty athletic, your sister, your dad, your brother.

307
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: Who would you say is the best athlete in the family.

308
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 6: My sister, Yeah, definitely.

309
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 7: She She gets after it and she's very unreal shape.

310
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: So you kind of came out of nowhere in twenty

311
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 2: twenty one when you came to the team during the summer,

312
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 2: You're only throwing about four the innings between going from

313
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 2: Higai to the Major leagues. What do you think was

314
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 2: the biggest reason for your ability to like rise that quickly.

315
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 7: Obviously, I mean results are one thing, and you got

316
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 7: stuff that's another thing.

317
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 6: But I mean.

318
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 7: During that time, it was kind of like all hands

319
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 7: on deck with injuries and whatnot, and you know, just

320
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 7: obviously taking the momentum I had and then just going

321
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 7: with it and obviously I got my opportunity and then

322
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 7: just you know, making the most of that opportunity when

323
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 7: you get the chance.

324
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 6: So you know, just the.

325
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 7: End of the day, it's just taking what you have

326
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 7: in the moment and then you know, just trying to

327
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 7: run with it.

328
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: You got to start opening day last year? How was

329
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: that experience? Getting the opening day start?

330
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 6: It's exciting.

331
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 7: I mean not a lot of people, I guess get

332
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 7: to experience that when it comes from obviously like an

333
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 7: a standpoint and the staff, but being able to have

334
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 7: that opportunity, you know special, So you know, it's cool.

335
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 7: Hopefully you know one day rightfully earned one myself as

336
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 7: you know that kind of suit.

337
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: What was the instant reaction when they told you you

338
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: were the guy?

339
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 7: I mean, I was excited. It's cool, and you know,

340
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 7: it gets start the first Game of the Year. I

341
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 7: mean the stuff you kind of like dream about, so,

342
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 7: you know, being able to do one.

343
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 6: It was fun.

344
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: Since you've been called up and throughout your major league career,

345
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: your secondary pitch is really like taking a step forward.

346
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you think has been like the big

347
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 4: reason for that change?

348
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 7: Trusting my off speed stuff and throwing it for strikes.

349
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 7: I mean for the most point, like boys try to

350
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 7: be like nasty with it. In reality, you just need

351
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 7: to just throw it with the movement over the plate

352
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 7: and you know, get them off the fastball. And it's

353
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 7: crazy how much like from a hitting standpoint, being able

354
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 7: to hit in like twenty twenty one it was like, so,

355
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 7: I guess like eye opening to like how hard hitting

356
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 7: is and like seeing pitchers throwing hard and like how

357
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 7: like little time you have to react and like whatnot?

358
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 7: So I mean I've just been able to throw off

359
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 7: speed in the zone for strikes and then obviously later

360
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 7: in counts you know, try to get them to nibble

361
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 7: and whatnot.

362
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, talked about the rule change between two years ago.

363
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 4: Last year.

364
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: With the DH becoming universal, it's gonna be some more

365
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: rule changes this year, including the pitchclock. Did you ever

366
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 2: six year with deal with the pitchclock in the minor leagues.

367
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 2: If so or if not, how do you think it's

368
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: gonna affect the game?

369
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 6: No, I never got to work with the pitch clock.

370
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 7: From what I've seen and heard, it just speeds games

371
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 7: up drastically, Like I don't think there's games over three

372
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 7: hours and should there be times where my friends would

373
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 7: tell me, like, ther game start an hour later than

374
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 7: ours and they finished, theirs are showering, they're leaving there

375
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 7: more like in the seventh Yeah, so, I mean the

376
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 7: clock's definitely going to speed up the time and the

377
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 7: pace of the game.

378
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: When talking about, you know, guys that you faced in

379
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: your career thus far, who would you say has been

380
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: like maybe the hardest guy to go up against on

381
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: the mountain?

382
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 6: Me, I just like throwing two rappie hitters. Yeah, so

383
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 6: like people that.

384
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 7: Just like foul and spoil their pitchers off are not

385
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 7: trying to take you deep or anything. They're just trying

386
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 7: to like put a good bat on the ball. So

387
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 7: I'd say one of those guys that like jeans cigar

388
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 7: with the phillies, same guys scrappy, he's in another's powder's box.

389
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 7: And you know, somehow fouled off and just like work

390
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 7: the count up as a picture, you hate batters that

391
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 7: work the count up and just spoil a lot of pitches.

392
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: Yeh, Lucky for you in the Mets, he stayed in

393
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: the division, so it's going to get see him plenty

394
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: of times this year. I do remember one game last

395
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 2: year we were actually worried able to get Jean Cigar

396
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: a few times, and that was in the combined No

397
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: Hither last April. What was it like being a part

398
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: of that was only the second time in Thatt's history

399
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: that we got to the end of the gay Yeah.

400
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 7: I mean that game was pretty pretty nerve wracking, to

401
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 7: say the least. I mean, I didn't really understand, know

402
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 7: we had a no hitter going till really six or

403
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 7: so son, because obviously you're in the moment, you're not

404
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 7: really paying attention to that kind of deal. And then

405
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 7: you look up the scoreboard when it's all done, you

406
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 7: know your nerves are going down and whatnot, and yeah,

407
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 7: and then you just see it progressively going deeper into

408
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 7: the game, and it's kind of sensation was wild.

409
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: I felt that way in the stands too, like no

410
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: one really even know this until remember when you you

411
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: went either five or six and it was a jam

412
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: and someone came in and like got out of somehow,

413
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: so it was like only a one or two run

414
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 2: game and all of a sudden we got a jam

415
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: and it was like, oh my god, well I don't

416
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: have any hits. I just kept parlaying from there. It

417
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: was an amazing experience.

418
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy, Yeah, outside of baseball, what do you like

419
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: to do in your free time?

Speaker 6: I like to play golf okay, somebuddy is my dad?

Speaker 6: Then.

429
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you weren't a baseball player, what would you

430
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: be doing?

431
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 6: Golf? Professional golf? That'd be sick.

432
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 4: Are you that good?

433
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 6: I'm not that good?

434
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 7: No, but watching them and how they are able to

435
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 7: when I play, I think it's fine when you hit

436
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 7: a good shot.

437
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 6: I mean that's what you come back for, that sensation.

438
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 7: Of you hitting a good shot and landing on the

439
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 7: green and seeing pros do that.

440
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 4: Have you got a chose?

441
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 6: Was playing baseball?

442
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

443
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 5: Crazy?

444
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 4: Have you got a chise play with mc neil now.

445
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 7: I haven't, but I hear he's got a pretty damn

446
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 7: good game.

447
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: It was a little meme that went viral last year.

448
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: It was you cookie insurance like around an iPad in

449
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: the dugout kind of made his way around Twitter for

450
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: a while. What's it like working with such an experienced

451
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: pitching staff, just these guys who've been around the game

452
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 2: so long, has so much success.

453
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's been the blessing obviously being in this organization

454
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 7: and being able to be up with them in the

455
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 7: major leagues if they have so much experience and so

456
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 7: much knowledge, and just being able to talk with them

457
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 7: and obviously them from past experience, you know, and trying

458
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,959
Speaker 7: to teach me and coach me up on certain situations,

459
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 7: and it's like it goes a long way. So that's

460
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 7: like the biggest thing I think for us young guys

461
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 7: that come and pitch, is like they're very open minded

462
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 7: to allowing to teach us and us to be able

463
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 7: to listen and take it in and obviously in game

464
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 7: from being taught, you know, you'll start to pick up

465
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 7: on those kind of things and you know, obviously adapt

466
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 7: and improvising the situation.

467
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: We're huge fans of Jeremy Hefner on this podcast, we

468
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: talk about him all the time. What's your relationship relationship

469
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: like with Hefner and how's he helped you so far?

470
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 6: Love half love half?

471
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, we do too.

472
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 7: It's great. I mean he gives me all the confidence

473
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 7: in the world of my stuff. And just from just

474
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 7: a coaching standpoint, just obviously pitching and situations in the game. Uh,

475
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 7: just he understands and he knows what to say when
