1
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: Good graphic.

2
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome to foul Territory today on what is it Wednesday? Jess,

3
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: you asked me Wednesday today this week, we're obviously live

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: in Duneed and at Blue Jays camp, and we're joined

5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: by one of the managers lucky enough to make the

6
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: front end. And it's only because Krats begged for you

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: to make it. Now we've had managers complain because they

8
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: are not on it, but because of your relationship.

9
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: See, we put you.

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: On it, Cratzy, Thank you.

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 4: I noticed it was me and Cido, which is even better.

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 4: So it's nice to get a little little FaceTime there,

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 4: so I appreciate it.

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 3: You have a face made for TV, do you think?

15
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 4: Or voice made for radio or face made for radio voice?

16
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say face made for TV.

17
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 3: Huh, okay, that's fair. Uh.

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 2: We were just talking about WBC off before you came

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,319
Speaker 2: on and before we dig into the Blue Jays. Are

20
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 2: you glad it's over?

21
00:00:59,120 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: Yes?

22
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 4: Cool event, cool to kind of have a little bit

23
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 4: of intensity this time of year. But glad everyone made

24
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 4: it through. Glad everyone's back in camp, Ernie and Himmy

25
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 4: and Hoff and Roger be back today and getting Vlad

26
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 4: and Kirkie and Kaz back was nice. So yeah, glad

27
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 4: it's over, and but it was fun to watch it

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 4: was it was cool and glad everyone made it through healthy.

29
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 5: What makes you more nervous watching one of your guys

30
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 5: playing in a you know, slide into second throwing pitches

31
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 5: or the fact that Ernie Clement had to sit on

32
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 5: the bench the whole time and wasn't getting a lot

33
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 5: of at bats.

34
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit of both.

35
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 4: You know, I had a text Earn, you know, take

36
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 4: it easy on sliding headfirst into you know, head person

37
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 4: to first on a on a ground ball in the infield,

38
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 4: But you still want to Spring training is tough because

39
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 4: you just want everyone to get the work in. You know,

40
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 4: you get nervous even when guys are you know, pickoffs

41
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 4: at first. There was one the other day down in

42
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 4: West Palm with Varsh getting back a little awkward. So

43
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 4: you're always on the lookout for that kind of stuff

44
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 4: and when you can't control it when they're not here,

45
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 4: it's just like, already are you getting enough work? And

46
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: as much as you talk to the guys or talk

47
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 4: to d Row or talk to Omar, they're trying to win,

48
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: you know, So they got to do what they got

49
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 4: to do too, But I think once you get through

50
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 4: camp everyone feels a lot better.

51
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: How often do you have those conversations with the managers

52
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: of the teams? And then also what's more nerve wrecking

53
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 2: a position player like I'll use Alejandro because he's catching

54
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: a little more susceptible to foul balls and stuff like that,

55
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: or a pitcher out there blowing their best gas in

56
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: the middle of March.

57
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's for me, it's always pitchers.

58
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 4: I think the guys that were playing, they did a

59
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 4: good job to get themselves ready to play.

60
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: All the managers were great.

61
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 4: Benji in Mexico, d Row, they've been great, Kaz new

62
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: exact his exact play with Japan, and you know, you

63
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 4: just shoot the text here and there and kind of

64
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 4: make sure they're following along with what we had talked about.

65
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 4: There were a couple of games when I was texting

66
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: with Benji, just with Turkey to make sure that there

67
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 4: was the proper off days when he's catching back to back.

68
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 4: But the pitching side of it, you know, just with

69
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 4: Hoff and Roge going late, you know, just like when

70
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 4: are you getting up, are you getting up hot?

71
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: Are you going into the game.

72
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 4: Things that we can control in spring training that are

73
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 4: just a little bit a little bit tougher to do

74
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: in that scenario.

75
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of glad that.

76
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: I don't want to say glad Hoff didn't pitch, but

77
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 4: Rog is kind of a veteran guy, and you kind

78
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 4: of know he's pretty low maintenance and things like that.

79
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 4: He's not throwing a hundred, so you worry about the

80
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: pitchers for sure. So thankfully we didn't have guys out there,

81
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 4: you know, seventy eighty pitches where they're kind of getting

82
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 4: after a big time. You saw it as the as

83
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: the rounds went on, Savarino's throwing a hundred. You know,

84
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 4: it's a little bit of a different atmosphere. So glad

85
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: we weren't in that situation.

86
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 5: You're not the one making those calls. It's Voon Chung's

87
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 5: making the call. People higher than you. You're just all

88
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 5: down all my correct.

89
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, it's a collective effort for sure, you know,

90
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 4: but I think that we as much as you try

91
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 4: to have parameters around it, it always gets a little

92
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: bit you know, gray, because guys are trying to win.

93
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: But yeah, it wasn't just me saying, hey, Dro, make

94
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 4: sure er and he gets three at bats, or if

95
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: you get haff up, you know, you got to get

96
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: him in. Things like that, you know, all things you

97
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: talk about, but then the game takes over and you

98
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 4: got to kind of make the best decision you can.

99
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 4: So I think everything considered, I think all the managers

100
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: did a good job. We were talking about Dro saying

101
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 4: he was honoring the padres by not thoughing Mason Miller

102
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 4: whether or not he wanted to, you know, I don't know,

103
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: but I think it's a collective efforcratsy for sure.

104
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: But by the way, Diiro did say this that if

105
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: he gets someone out there coming in, there was.

106
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: No dry hunt, right all.

107
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: He said that from the get going, and.

108
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 4: And he's he's been around, he kind of gets you know,

109
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 4: any pettit's been around. It's it's a little bit different

110
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 4: when you're managing it. But I think with the parameters

111
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 4: every club put in place, I think that's the way

112
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: you got to do it, you know, because guys aren't

113
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 4: used to getting up and sitting down and then getting

114
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 4: up and coming in, and that's like the manager's worst fear,

115
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 4: even in regular season.

116
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: I hate in that to guys.

117
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, by the way, so last one on the DVBC,

118
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 2: if they came to you after your career and Toronto

119
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: is done, would you manage Canada or would you manage USA?

120
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 2: Would Ernie finally just decides to not do it because

121
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: he's managed every hasn't he managed.

122
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: Done every year? Yeah?

123
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 6: I don't.

124
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: I would. I would be.

125
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 4: Intrigued to do either one, to be honest with you,

126
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: but I think you know, I showed my loyalty to

127
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: Canadian hockey earlier in spring and caught a lot of

128
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 4: backlash from some of the players.

129
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, well we would see at that

130
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: point when.

131
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: You're reading for Canada or US when they played Canada.

132
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 4: Oh sorry, if they met in hockey, so you know,

133
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 4: w b C. I was rooting for the US, okay, yeah,

134
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 4: like no offense, Earn and Russ and those guys. You know,

135
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 4: Ques there, Paul Quantrell's there. I think with baseball, you

136
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 4: kind of just got to stick to your roots a

137
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 4: little bit. I just think there's a better version of

138
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 4: hockey in Canada than there is in the US.

139
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: Plus except US wins the Stanley Cup every year.

140
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: I know, but I'm not a huge hockey guy.

141
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 4: So I don't really have much to go on, so

142
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 4: just trying to like make a little bit of a story,

143
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 4: which I did.

144
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think it'd be I think it'd be cool.

145
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: But let Ernie. Let Ernie keep doing it for as

146
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: long as he wants.

147
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: Can you stay here? Yeah? Exactly, mean exactly.

148
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 5: I would love nothing more than to say, two thousand

149
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 5: and two, John Schneider takes over a team because Ernie

150
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 5: Witt was our catching coach when we both got drafted.

151
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 6: So Ernie Witt has been the guy.

152
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 4: He's still throwing money BP too. If you saw him,

153
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 4: you know on the on the he's still throwing that money.

154
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: VP that he was like the only guy that can

155
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 4: make me look good as a hitter in the minor

156
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 4: leagues hitting off of Ernie Wit so that could he

157
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 4: was money.

158
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: And still is so like a short catcher short arm.

00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: doesn't always win, because sometimes you're too, you're too big

185
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 5: time in high faluting for him.

Speaker 1: We'll get you back every time, every time he's done it.

188
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: I've been there. I flew across the country to Seattle

189
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: if it him he wanted. So I'm not going to

190
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: turn my guy down.

191
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: Never too big time for him, didged I have not

192
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: changed your pull it, No, have not changed. I'm still

193
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 4: I'm still me. I'm still a dude, one of the guys.

194
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: But yeah, it was a it was a nice It

195
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 4: was a nice little.

196
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: Gift, a trophy in half and hand you one of

197
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: the bats.

198
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 4: No, no, it was it was a wearable gift that

199
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 4: I'll have for a long time.

200
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, nice.

201
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 4: Yeah he did well, he did well. All right, How

202
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: excited did you for this year's can't wait? You know

203
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 4: it's end of camp, you know, you know it is

204
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 4: spring training. Everyone's excited, especially this year. Was cool to

205
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: get back around the guys after last year and get

206
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 4: things going. But I think looking at what we have

207
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 4: built here, looking at the new faces that are here,

208
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 4: I can't wait to see kind of the product on

209
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 4: the field. So I think we did a good job

210
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 4: of bringing in some complimentary pieces, bringing in some different

211
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 4: looks from us starting pitching standpoint, adding Kaz and his

212
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 4: back to ball skills, his power, I think fits us

213
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: really well and we we kind of figure out what

214
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 4: we were good at last year. That's kind of what

215
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 4: I keep going back to. And then within that, how

216
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: do you add more talent that is already doing what

217
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 4: they're they have been doing to fit into this system.

218
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 4: So can't wait to get it going. You know, we

219
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 4: were missing staff members. Carlos was gone to the WBC

220
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 4: and those guys gone. So now being back around everyone

221
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 4: gets you a little bit more excited. But man, I

222
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 4: can't wait to get back up there and just see

223
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 4: the fans, see the stadium and kind of hopefully pick

224
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 4: uphere we left off, although you know, an eyelash here there.

225
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 6: Better all right?

226
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 5: So you have a lot of rotation options. Some are

227
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 5: a little bit down. Can you tell us about those

228
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 5: conversations that you have to have with those guys, because

229
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 5: I get it everyone every manager at this time. It's

230
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 5: a good problem to have. It'll take care of yourself.

231
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 5: But are the guys that you're expecting are they bouncing

232
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 5: back okay?

233
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 6: And spring training?

234
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 5: Are they you know, Trey early was having a little

235
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 5: bit of issue bouncing back. So are you feeling like

236
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 5: you have the five guys right now set on March

237
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 5: eighteenth to start.

238
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: The same I think yeah, I think so.

239
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 4: You know, I think looking back probably a month ago,

240
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 4: it's like, where do these guys all fit? And baseball

241
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 4: has a way of kind of sorting that out and

242
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: talking to the guys they're all. I think last year

243
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 4: kind of put us in a different category when we

244
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 4: acquired Bebes and you try a six man rotation for

245
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 4: a couple times through and there's some uncomfortable conversations, there's

246
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 4: some unhappy campers, but I think they all understand, like, hey,

247
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 4: we're just trying to go out and win. You know,

248
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 4: our division is no joke. Every team has gotten better

249
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 4: around the league, so we're trying to just say who

250
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 4: is going to fit best right now, and however it starts,

251
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 4: it's probably not going to end that way with the

252
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 4: way the season goes. So really impressed with how keV Gosman,

253
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 4: obviously opening day starter, you know, pitching a lot last

254
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 4: year and really bouncing. I was interested to see how

255
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 4: he came in with the workload he had last year.

256
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 4: He looks like he hasn't missed a beat. And then

257
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: you know, Cease is kind of the model of consistency.

258
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: Cody pontce is kind of a wild card coming over

259
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 4: back from overseas, and they've all kind of hit the

260
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: ground running, So that part I like, And then you

261
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 4: have Jose, you got Lower, you got Max, you know,

262
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 4: you got Trey. It's I think they all fit at

263
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 4: some point, and it's just a matter of when they

264
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 4: all are healthy making those decisions at that point.

265
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 3: Good luck. Yeah, it's good to have that many.

266
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 4: Options, it is, you know, and and really like going

267
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 4: through it last year, just you know, it's it's hard

268
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: because all these guys want to start, you know, and

269
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 4: I think that we've what we've said was, you know,

270
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: if you're on a different team, you know, it's probably

271
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 4: a little.

272
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: Bit easier to give you that runway.

273
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 4: When when you have a team that's that's fairly talented

274
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 4: or very talented, there's kind of a good amount of

275
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 4: competition going on, so they kind of get that, and

276
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 4: you know, just focusing on winning is kind of the

277
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 4: most important thing.

278
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 2: Let's you have Street Craig, because you guys won the

279
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: league and yeah, yeah, I mean they kind of can

280
00:11:58,480 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: you can rock to Jay's a little cooler now?

281
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 5: Yeah?

282
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 3: The street?

283
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 8: Yeah?

284
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 4: I mean, well, I think any if anything, it kind

285
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 4: of going back to last year was cool because like

286
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 4: postseason and World Series aside. You know, that was a

287
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 4: great run and we played really well for the three

288
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 4: weeks in that time, but it was kind of what

289
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 4: we did to get there, you know, which I think

290
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 4: is really sustainable, winning ninety four games as opposed to

291
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: seventy four of the year before. And the guys kind

292
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 4: of trust our process and I think that we understand

293
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 4: that our process and the way we prepare and how

294
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 4: we evaluate things is.

295
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: Good and it showed last year.

296
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 4: So it's just kind of like, how can we continue

297
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 4: to do that and how can we get it a

298
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 4: little bit better? But I think the players most importantly

299
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 4: see that, hey, this is a this is a pretty

300
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 4: good product.

301
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 3: Agreed, Agreed? All Right.

302
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: You mentioned that we talked about the pitchers, position players,

303
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: No bo right, a couple of changes. How good can

304
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: kas be? How good can this guy come coming from Japan? Yeah,

305
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: to the major leagues? How good can he be?

306
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 6: Arry?

307
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 4: I guess to answer your question quickly, you know, I

308
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 4: think that there's so much more information data that you

309
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 4: can kind of look at and say, well, this translate

310
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 4: and they're there's going to be an adjustment period. But

311
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 4: he is kind of just a natural hitter to where

312
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 4: easy power, ton of contact. Again, I don't want to

313
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 4: put like a floor or a ceiling on him. I

314
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 4: think just how he fits within our lineup and who's

315
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 4: starting that night and things like that. I think that

316
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: he's going to fit in really really well, and we

317
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 4: try to kind of diversify it as much as we can.

318
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 4: Guys are going to make contact, we're going to put

319
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 4: pressure on the defense, and we're going to ask some

320
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 4: guys to slug. So I think just finding out when

321
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 4: to do what, because you know he's going to put

322
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 4: the bat of the ball. You know a lot of

323
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 4: these guys that are hitting home runs, there's a lot

324
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 4: of swing and miss. He's kind of the opposite end

325
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 4: of that spectrum to where he can manipulate the barrel

326
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 4: and he has a lot of adjustability in his swing.

327
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 4: So I'm excited to see kind of his overall game.

328
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 4: Before he left, he was making some really good progress

329
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 4: and hitting it off with Pop and Lou and Cody,

330
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 4: so it's not like one guy replacing Bo, Like we're

331
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 4: not asking Cash to replace Bo. Different kind of hitter

332
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 4: for sure, but what we like his skill set to

333
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:00,959
Speaker 4: complement our lineup and.

334
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: At third base.

335
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of room to get better.

336
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 4: We're gonna have him play probably a little bit deeper

337
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 4: in terms of depth and get a little bit more

338
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 4: range out of him. And he's on board with that.

339
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 4: So he's going to be, you know, a big part

340
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 4: of what we're doing. And I've said, the more he's

341
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 4: out there for us, I think, the better team we

342
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 4: have every single night.

343
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: He's bigger than I thought he was.

344
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: So he's a monster man, bigger.

345
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 4: I saw him today and just like tree trunk leg Yeah,

346
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 4: really sneaky, funny guy to really really he didn't have

347
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 4: an interpreter on, but he's he's sneaky, funny.

348
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: Well, John, thank you for joining us part of it.

00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: my career. You're so right.

364
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 6: I'll watch. It's fine, I'll watch, it's fine.

365
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: We're good, Thank you very much. This year we'll be

366
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: right back on foul territory.

367
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 7: Bron and crats with you for not much time, and

368
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 7: then we'll get a Kevin Gosman conversation going for everyone.

369
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 7: Let's do the fast and all spring training calendar while

370
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 7: we have it, while it's still going.

371
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 5: So many green checks, so many green checks, Scott, I'm

372
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 5: so upset.

373
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 6: No, that means opening days coming. It's not time to

374
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 6: be sad, it's time to be happy.

375
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 7: You're right, you're right, you're right, and actually tomorrow is

376
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 7: going to be sick. I mean, we're finishing our spring

377
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 7: training tour with the Philadelphia Phillies. Real question, because we

378
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 7: just say it like it is. Do we know if

379
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 7: like Harper and Shoreburn, all those guys are going to

380
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 7: be there tomorrow. I would think, yes, some guys have

381
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 7: taken like an extra beat, an extra day or two.

382
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 7: But I would think that those guys will be back

383
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 7: in Phillies Camp. Will we get them. I don't know.

384
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 7: There's a lot coming at them. They're probably gonna say

385
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 7: life's been a little bit crazy right now. But we

386
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 7: will be at Phillies Camp for our Thursday show, and

387
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 7: that is our last show for spring training, and then

388
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 7: of course we're still on every single day live all

389
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 7: year round.

390
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: But we'll see.

391
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 7: I think those guys will be back in camp. I

392
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 7: think usually they give them like a day. Some guys

393
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 7: have taken two or three days.

394
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 6: I think one of themselves.

395
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 5: Because spring is coming to an end, it's real quick,

396
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 5: especially when you're starting talking about packing up some of

397
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 5: your stuff from spring training, because they've been living on

398
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 5: the road, so you got to pack up, get it

399
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 5: on the truck. Maybe even the first truck has already left.

400
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 5: So there's stuff that has to be done at the

401
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 5: end of the season before you go to the exhibition games.

402
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. All right, We're ready to go.

403
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 7: Next convo. Kevin Gosman is.

404
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: Here here with opening day starter for the American League

405
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: champion Toronto Blue Jays.

406
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 3: Kevin Gosman, how nice? I mean, I guess it sounds nice.

407
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 3: But does it sounds good to me? Which one opening

408
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: day or the American League champions?

409
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 9: Both both of them? How many opening days is this

410
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 9: for you? This will be my third for the Blue Jays? No,

411
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 9: third total? First with the yeah, third total?

412
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 2: As I got you in twenty fourteen with the oriole.

413
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 3: Did you pitch Opening day that day? That was seventeen seven?

414
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 8: Yeah?

415
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: I thought a bolt fourteen. No, I guess that wasn't you.

416
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: That wasn't me, Okai Tillman, Oh yes, yeah, yes, okay,

417
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: seventeen was your first one?

418
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 8: Seventeen, then twenty one and then this year?

419
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 3: Why the skip?

420
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 8: I wasn't very good?

421
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: And oh stop it. You've been great with Toronto?

422
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 6: Yeah?

423
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I have for sure, but yeah, you know, I

424
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 9: mean I think seventeen, I think I was opening day starter,

425
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 9: and I think at the break I had like a

426
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 9: six and a half way so it wasn't my first

427
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 9: opening day start.

428
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 8: Season wasn't great?

429
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 3: Were you nervous. Yeah, for sure.

430
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 9: You know, I think anytime you pitch one of those,

431
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 9: especially the first time you do it, you know, it's

432
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 9: there's a lot of hoopla that comes with it.

433
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 8: And yeah, I was nervous for sure.

434
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 5: Everybody makes a big deal of opening Day. What's the

435
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 5: bigger opening day or the home opener?

436
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 8: Oh? Well, for us, it's one and the same.

437
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 9: This year, I would say opening day, you know, but

438
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 9: the home opener is obviously really cool.

439
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you you guys get your your rings on

440
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 3: the home opener this year? I have no idea a

441
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: banner obviously.

442
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 9: Yeah. Yeah, I don't really know what the plan is,

443
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 9: you know, I just kind of work here.

444
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got a little bit of poll.

445
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 9: They don't really tell me much, you know. It's just hey,

446
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 9: make sure you get fitted for your ring. And I

447
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 9: don't know anything besides that.

448
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean that's fair. And you play, you guys,

449
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 2: we will still call them Oakland. You guys open with

450
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 2: the athletics. Yes, in Toronto, you have a nice homestand

451
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 2: right it's athletics, and then you guys.

452
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: Play Rockies at home. Yeah, you go three summers go

453
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 3: White Sox by.

454
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 8: The way, Yeah, you.

455
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: Won't pitch that. Seriously, you're good. If you can go

456
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 3: one to six, you're fine.

457
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: Is it important for you guys to get off to

458
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: a good start because historically the team that hasn't won

459
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: the World Series the next year has a little bit

460
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: of a letdown. So is it important with Sacramento, the

461
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: A's coming in and then Colorado then the White Sox

462
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: to get off to that good start before the Dodgers

463
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 2: come in that next series.

464
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

465
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 8: Absolutely.

466
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 9: I think you're always trying to start off, you know,

467
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 9: any any season you're you know, you obviously don't want

468
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 9: to start off slow. But I think this year is

469
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 9: a little different. I think, you know, now we obviously

470
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 9: have a huge target on our back, so you know,

471
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 9: and I've talked to a lot of guys, like every

472
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 9: team that I've faced that was in the World Series

473
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 9: the year before, you know, I knew there were I

474
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 9: knew I was facing the team that was in the

475
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 9: World Series here before, you know, So you got to

476
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 9: kind of just be ready for every team, you know.

477
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 9: I think maybe in the past, teams knew how talented

478
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 9: we were, but I think now it's a little bit different.

479
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 9: They've kind of seen that talent kind of come to

480
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 9: fruition and so yeah, now I think it's a huge

481
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 9: target on our back. So you know, of course we

482
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 9: want to start off great in any season, but I

483
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 9: think this year is going to be a little bit different.

484
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 6: How much?

485
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 5: What are those conversations like because we lost in Game

486
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 5: seven of the World Series and fourteen and then came

487
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 5: back in fifteen and ended up getting a job done.

488
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 5: What are those conversations like throughout the offseason with everybody?

489
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 5: Do you have different threads for starters, starting pitchers, bullpen guys,

490
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 5: pitchers and position players.

491
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 6: What do you guys talk about?

492
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, honestly, we've kind of just turned the page.

493
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 9: I mean we talked about it kind of really the

494
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 9: first day of camp, but you know, there's nothing we

495
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 9: could do about what happened last season, you know, especially

496
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 9: the way that we lost is it's been heartbreaking and

497
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 9: it's definitely taken a good amount of guys a while

498
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 9: to get over. But you know, that was kind of

499
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 9: Skip's message first day of camp was like, let's let's

500
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 9: not ignore what we did last year because it was

501
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 9: such a such a special run that we went on

502
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 9: really the whole season. I mean, we kind of figured

503
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 9: out our identity and then just kind of honed in

504
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 9: on our strengths. So we really kind of wanted to

505
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 9: remember that. But you know, once the first game of

506
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 9: spring training happens, it's kind of you know, no one's

507
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 9: really talking about last year anymore. It's you kind of

508
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 9: kind of turn the page and get ready to go.

509
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 9: You know, in spring training, I feel like only gets

510
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 9: shorter and shorter, so you know, it's, uh, we had

511
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 9: to kind of turn the page pretty quick.

512
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 3: This year was long with the WBC and all that.

513
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it was long, but you know it's just

514
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 9: it's it's I say short, just because when you play

515
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 9: for an extra month, as you know, like spring train

516
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 9: and it was like we blinked and it was Thanksgiving.

517
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 8: So then it's like a good thing.

518
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: Though it is a good thing.

519
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 8: It's a great thing.

520
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: Frustrat you would we wouldn't want to be done in

521
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: August where you're like, oh, we're eliminated and they playing

522
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: out the string. That's right, go to the seventh game. Obviously,

523
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 2: want to win, but that's a good thing for sure.

524
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: What does Toronto do that makes everything so special? What

525
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: what does the organization do what's the city do because

526
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 2: Max Max's daughter, right, we're dying to come back. Chris Bassett,

527
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 2: They everyone he talked to was like, oh, man, I

528
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 2: loved it in Toronto. I remember Mark Burley back in

529
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 2: the day when he was there. I was like, I

530
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 2: loved it. So from the outside, everyone's like, ooh, Toronto,

531
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: it's a pain in the butt. You got to go

532
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: through customs and it's a different country and all that.

533
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: But then guys go play there and they absolutely love it.

534
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 2: So explain to people out there what Toronto does to

535
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 2: make it such a great place.

536
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I think one obviously of one team that

537
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 9: represents an entire country, So that's kind of unique in

538
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,439
Speaker 9: its own right. You know, like I played with the

539
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 9: Giants and right across the Bay Days, so you're kind

540
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 9: of fighting for fighting for that. I guess fan base,

541
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 9: you know, you're kind of sharing a fan base. And yeah,

542
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 9: I think Toronto is a city that really loves its athletes.

543
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 9: You know, they really love their athletes, and it's a

544
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 9: sports city. They love watching their team, they love supporting

545
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 9: their team. And if you can be a good guy

546
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 9: and be good at your job, you know they're gonna

547
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 9: they're gonna love you there and then obviously I think

548
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 9: our team last year was pretty easy to like. So

549
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 9: but you know, outside of that, outside of things that

550
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 9: you get from the city, I would say the organization

551
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 9: has just done an incredible job at putting the guys first.

552
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 9: And when I say that, it means is the family first.

553
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 8: The wives.

554
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 9: You know, they've really kind of done everything they possibly

555
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 9: can to make life as easy as possible for people

556
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 9: who are living in another country and don't know too

557
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 9: many people. So you know, whether that's helping out the

558
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 9: new guys when they get traded over at the deadline,

559
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 9: to kind of get them situated. You know, there's a

560
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 9: couple wives that have kind of taken the you know,

561
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 9: taking that superiority, I guess, and planning things. And I

562
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 9: mean I thought the wives had more fun than the

563
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 9: posts than anybody else. You know, they were having the

564
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 9: time of their lives and you know, one big party

565
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 9: every single day.

566
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 8: And I think when you can.

567
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 9: Keep the wives and the kids happy, I think the

568
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 9: guys are going to be more inclined to be happy

569
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 9: on a on a daily basis.

570
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 5: All right, So what would it mean if they came

571
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 5: to you in the end of spring here and offered

572
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 5: you an extension, because really they can't give you a

573
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 5: team deal because you've given them a discount for these

574
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 5: last this five year contract they've given them. What would

575
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 5: it mean to you if they came to you with

576
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 5: an extension or have they already talked about it?

577
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know that's something we really haven't crossed that

578
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 9: path yet or that bridge yet. You know, I would

579
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 9: love to continue to play for the IS. I love

580
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 9: this organization, I love the city. For me being here

581
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 9: as long as I have, it's been cool to see

582
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 9: the organization grow, see SKIP grow as a manager. You know,

583
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 9: there's just a lot of things. My kids have grown

584
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 9: in Toronto, So there's a lot of a lot of

585
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 9: things to like, you know, when you're looking from the

586
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,719
Speaker 9: outside looking in at where you would want to play.

587
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 9: I mean, I don't think there's anything bad you can

588
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 9: say about Toronto besides the fact that it's in another country,

589
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 9: you know, and if you can kind of get past that,

590
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 9: then there's a lot to love. And me and my

591
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 9: wife we really enjoyed our time here. But you know,

592
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 9: I also understand it's a business, and so you know,

593
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 9: it's not always about what everybody wants, and sometimes it

594
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 9: kind of goes back to just what makes sense for

595
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 9: both sides, and so you know, we'll see what happens.

596
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 9: And more so just focused on this year and trying

597
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 9: to get back to a World Series again.

598
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 5: There's got to be There's one thing that I know

599
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 5: you can't like that much. Your spring training site is

600
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 5: not where the stadium is. Everything they do so perfectly.

601
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 5: The new site is awesome. I grew up a Blue Jay,

602
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 5: so I understand that travel across.

603
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 6: Could they figure that out and would that be just

604
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 6: a little bit better?

605
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 9: I mean, yeah, it would it would you know, they

606
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 9: just need to build a tunnel. I think it's only

607
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 9: like two miles away, so you know, we just need

608
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 9: a tunnel underground.

609
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 3: No.

610
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 9: But I mean if that's the biggest thing that you

611
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 9: can say that's bad about, you know, our setup, then

612
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 9: then I'll take that. You know, I've been in a

613
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 9: lot of organizations, a lot of spring training complexes, and

614
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 9: I mean this is by far the nicest I've ever

615
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 9: been in. And so you know, our covered agility is

616
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 9: great for on rainy days. You know, like whatever you

617
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 9: need player development wise.

618
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 8: We have it here.

619
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 9: So you know, we're very blessed to having an organization

620
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 9: in a front off that kind of puts the players first.

621
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 2: Are you a top deck bus guy or a lower

622
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 2: because you guys have the double decker bus that drives

623
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 2: you over there, So are you on the top or

624
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 2: the lower deck on the bus.

625
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 9: I don't think i've seen a double decker bus for

00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: Wow, hopefully we're going to be joined. We're going to

638
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: talk to Shapiro, so hopefully we'll get that out there. Yeah,

639
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 2: and ask him why you don't have your own spot

640
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: or Vlad doesn't have a spot with all the money

641
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: he's making.

642
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, gladd he definitely needs one.

643
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 2: Tray you savage your lockers next to him in the

644
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 2: clubhouse in there? What do you tell him about being

645
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 2: ready for a whole year? Because we were joking earlier.

646
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: What do you say you had three three starts before

647
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 2: the postseason and now he's with like nine starts counting

648
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 2: the postseason something like that. What do you tell him, hey,

649
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 2: be ready for thirty starts? How do you how do

650
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: you tell a young guy like that to be ready

651
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: for that?

652
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 6: Yeah?

653
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 9: I mean to be honest, we really haven't talked too

654
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 9: much about it. You know, he's still building up. I

655
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 9: know early in spring is kind of arm wasn't bouncing

656
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 9: back the way he wanted. You know, he's a young

657
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 9: kid that is really uh, you know, obviously he's young,

658
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 9: but you talk to him and you wouldn't you wouldn't

659
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 9: think that. You know, he kind of has a rhyme

660
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 9: for reason for everything he's doing, and you know, really

661
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 9: smart when it comes to knowing his strengths, what he

662
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 9: needs to do.

663
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 8: In the weight room.

664
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 9: So, you know, whereas maybe a normal young guy I

665
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 9: would probably talk to and be like, hey, you know,

666
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 9: we probably need to monitor your bullpens and how much

667
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 9: we're throwing, he's kind of already thought about that. So

668
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 9: there's not too much that you need to really kind

669
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 9: of divulge into him. But yeah, you know, he's gonna

670
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 9: go through some ups and downs. You know, it's just

671
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 9: normal as a starting pitcher in this league. You know,

672
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 9: teams are going to make adjustments. Hitting coaches are going

673
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 9: to make adjustments.

674
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 8: You know.

675
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 9: I hope he's as dominant as he was in the

676
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 9: postseason for his whole career of being amazing, he'd be

677
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 9: a Hall of Famer. But he's gonna go through some

678
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 9: ups and downs, And so it's more so just kind

679
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 9: of about trying to be there for his downs and

680
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 9: and kind of let him know that, you know, the

681
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 9: ups are right around the corner or whatever it is.

682
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 9: But you know, he's just such a unique picture. You

683
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 9: watch him throw his his release angle, it's such a

684
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 9: unique look, you know. So he has a little bit margin,

685
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 9: more margin for air than most guys just because how

686
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 9: unique he throws.

687
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: Well, Kevin, appreciate you joining us, Thank you, good luck

688
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 2: and opening day. Before I let you go, I gotta

691
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,959
Speaker 2: losing to Bobby Bouche Louisiana team, Like, what's happening in LSU?

692
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 8: I don't know, man, they got to figure it out.

693
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 8: But uh, you know.

694
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: They won last year. Now all of a sudden, they're

695
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: on the a little bit on the struggles.

696
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think they're I think they're on their high

697
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 9: horse a little too much right now while they're losing

698
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 9: these midweek games, right, you know, we gotta gotta figure

699
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 9: it out. But man, they're so talented, Like the talent

700
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 9: in college baseball right now is crazy insane, right, and

701
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 9: they're all huge, Like I go and throw there, and

702
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm not a big guy, but I swear

703
