1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,679 Speaker 1: What do you get when you combine a three time 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: manager of the Year at a three time National Sports 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 1: Writer of the Year, Well, you get the most illuminating 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: and interesting podcasts in baseball. It's the Book of Joe podcast. 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: Hi there, I'm Tom Berducci from Fox Sports, MLB Network 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: and Sports Illustrated, and this is Joe Madden and I'm 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: really eager to work with Tom on her upcoming project here. 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: It's based on a book that Joe and I have done, 9 00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: which is available wherever you buy your books. And I 10 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: will start up by just talking about a particular moment 11 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: in my life. Send you guys the story, and that 12 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: really honestly helped me as as a coach and a 13 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: manager and just a father and a husband too. It's 14 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: it's it's crazy when you're asked to do that really 15 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: get done into your emotions and a deeper version of 16 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: your thought. It really caused me to think on a 17 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: level that I have not really challenged myself on in 18 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: a long time. Well, Joe, you're known as an incredible manager, 19 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: of course, the manager of the Chicago Cubs that broke 20 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: at one and eight year old curse. But we'll talk 21 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: about what it takes to prepare a team for the postseason. 22 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: What's the difference between winning and losing in postseason baseball? 23 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: It's different from the regular season and anything else going 24 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: on in the game. For instance, how about the m 25 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: v P race in the American League. Aaron Judge with 26 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: a new American League home run record at show Hey, Otani, 27 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: a guy you manage has his own argument to be 28 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,559 Speaker 1: the m v P. I really do believe it's a tie. 29 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how you can differentiate from one performance 30 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: or another, and we could talk about that more deeply, 31 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: but what Aaron has done is absolutely pertinent to the 32 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: Yankees being in the playoffs and doing as well as 33 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: they did. Show age team has not arrived at that point. 34 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: But people have to understand when you pitch at his 35 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: level and hit at his level simultaneously, that just doesn't happen, 36 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: and it's not gonna happen again for a long time. 37 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: It's pretty it's not pretty unique. It is the most 38 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: unique thing you've ever been to see in sports. Well, 39 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it as well because it probably 40 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: will not be just about baseball. Knowing that I got 41 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: Joe Madden here, we gotta mix in some food, some cars, 42 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: some rock and roll. If show Hey Otani were a 43 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: classic car, what would he be. Man, He's got to 44 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: be something that could do at all. It's got to 45 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: be a comfortable ride, but could really blow you off 46 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: the line too. I mean, I'll put him in my healthcat. 47 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: Who I've seen your healthcat. I've seen show Hey run 48 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: down to first base and they've seen him throw a 49 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour on the mound. So I think 50 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: that's a good call. I like a good old USA 51 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: make right here. I just really digging on my my 52 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: dodge job. Really looking forward to this podcast, and hopefully 53 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: if you're a fan of baseball, or maybe not, just 54 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: a fan of a good listen.
