I'm gonna put you on the 22 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: spot right at the top here. What were your top 23 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: three catches of your career? 24 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 2: Man? Top three, I would definitely have to put just 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,639 Speaker 2: the moment of the All Star Game in two thousand 26 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: and two. The guy that's hitting the ball is Barry Bonds, 27 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 2: and this is my first All Star Game. I'm twenty 28 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: five years old, and to be able to take away 29 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 2: a home run on a big stage like that from 30 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 2: one of the greatest hitters that ever played the game, 31 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 2: if not the best hitter they have played the game. 32 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 2: For me, a twenty five year old kid from Pompluth, Arkansas, 33 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 2: to take a home run away from Barry Bonds, definitely 34 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: probably my number one. Probably not my best catch, but 35 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: it was my greatest moment. And I was ay. Carlos 36 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 2: Lee with the White Sox hit a ball in the 37 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: Metro Dome and imp over that baggy fence out there 38 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: in center field and stretched out and caught the ball. 39 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: The next day, I was so sore, I felt like 40 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 2: I couldn't play, but you know, Trump Brow don't come 41 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:15,839 Speaker 2: out of the game. And then number three, I would say, 42 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: with the Angels on Mother's Day, I made a catch 43 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 2: on Mother's Day against the Royals, and I was able 44 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: to catch that ball, and I was so pumped up 45 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: and so hyped that I almost passed out. 46 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: Of course, there was some great catches, and then there 47 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 1: was always the one that got away. Game two of 48 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: the twenty thirteen ALCS. You're playing right field for the 49 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: Detroit Tigers. You're in Fenway Park, Detroit has a five 50 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: to one lead. In the eighth inning, You're about to 51 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: go up two games to none on the Red Sox, 52 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: and upsteps Big Poppy. David Ortiz take us through that 53 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: sequence too. 54 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 2: Man, you know what's crazy as a story behind that. 55 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: Ortiz and I went to Capitol Grill to night before 56 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 2: and just we're sitting up talking. We're sitting up talking 57 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: and uh, he says, hey, I got wasquing Ben WASH's pitches. 58 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, snap, right. So I went back to 59 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: the stadium the next day. The day of that game. 60 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: It was like, then, why you got to you gotta 61 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 2: change it up on Big Poppy. He said, he has 62 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: your pitches and Ben while I was like, man, I 63 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 2: forget that. I always get him out. 64 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god. 65 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: So now Suirsey comes out of the game in the 66 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: eighth inning and just struck out the side. We thought 67 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: he was going to go back out there, but I 68 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: saw Ben Wall running running to the man when I 69 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: went back out there in the night, and all of 70 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: a sudden, I'm thinking, like, I hope he doesn't throw 71 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 2: a change up because he knows it. It was an 72 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 2: eighty eight mile an hour change up and Dave Ortiez 73 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: hit the ball. I'm like, oh my god, I'm running 74 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 2: after this ball, swearing, pissed off. I'm like, I can't 75 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 2: believe this guy through this pitch. So it now it's 76 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: hit and it's in the lights, and I felt the 77 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: wall and I'm like, forget this. This is the ALCS. 78 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: I've never been to the World Series. That said, my life, 79 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: I do not to down this field today. I knew 80 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: I was gonna die, but I came back to life 81 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: after I got older, when I woke up on the 82 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 2: other side, I came back to life. So and then 83 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 2: the cop, you know, he was right there. He was 84 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 2: supposed to be protecting the service, but but he was 85 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 2: so far away. Man, he had no shot to help 86 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: with me. So, uh, it was just a It was 87 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 2: a great effort, great moment for the Red Sox, great 88 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 2: moment for Big Poppy, one of my one of my 89 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 2: best friends in the game. Uh, but that's that's all 90 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 2: our effort and I was thirty eight years old. 91 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: Does that play still kind of keep you up at 92 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: night or show up in your dreams? 93 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 2: Uh? No, that play doesn't show up in my dreams 94 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 2: at all. That pitch does, Oh yeah, because uh Ortiz 95 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 2: struck out three times that game. He didn't hit the 96 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 2: ball at all. And then he stepped up right there, 97 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 2: and the night before he told me that's all I 98 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 2: can remember. This guy had his pitches, and trust me, 99 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: first pitch eighty eight mile. Now he throws ninety eight. Yeah, 100 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: So how you sit on that in the first pitch? Right? 101 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 3: Well, you don't, you don't. And now you see what 102 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 3: I have to do with I mean, you caught you 103 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 3: caught almost fifty five hundred balls in your career. That's 104 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 3: fourteenth in history, and this man wants to talk about 105 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 3: the one you didn't catch right. 106 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 2: Just earlier? 107 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: How how iconic was this photo of the two v's 108 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: of the cop and unfortunately down to. 109 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 2: Did you know, hey? 110 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 1: Did you ever talk to that cop or autograph a 111 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: picture for him?

He had no shout. 115 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 2: I cracked a joke afterwards, and I said, man, he's 116 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: supposed to be protecting and suffer. I think people got 117 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 2: kind of serious. I'm like, I was joking. He's like 118 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: twenty yards away from the wall. Help me. I was 119 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: already dead. 120 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 3: All right, Well, one of the one of the rare 121 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 3: great guys in Boston, at least when you're on the 122 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 3: visiting team. But all right, all right, I got a question. 123 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: I got a question. It's a little more serious current, 124 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: but can you can you kind of take us through 125 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 3: what your day to day role looks like with the 126 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 3: Angels right now as a special assistant. It's a GM 127 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 3: Perry mnasium. 128 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: H Well, I mean I'm there. I'm like a shalllam monk. 129 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: And you you walk in the clubhouse, you get there 130 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: when they're there, and and I just I try to 131 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: be present. You know, you got guys. They have things 132 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 2: going on off the field. You got guys they have 133 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: things with finances, with relationships with their family, but also 134 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 2: in baseball they give it. I give them a different 135 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: perspective on different things and how to hit, you know, 136 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 2: running a basis, preparing themselves. So I just try to 137 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 2: be available for all the guys, and then if Perry 138 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 2: needs an extra eye on evaluate something or someone. Actually 139 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: I'm there for them. They ask questions, but I try 140 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: to be available when I'm here and be at the 141 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 2: stadium as much as I can so they can see 142 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 2: me and be and be present for those guys. 143 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 3: I mean, that's invaluable. I think that you know, I've 144 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: kind of wondered too, what is that you know, special assistant? 145 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 3: You see that title and it's not always totally clear, 146 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: but it sounds like you're doing it all, which is 147 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 3: cool and really helpful for these guys. One question that 148 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 3: you know, I've been out of the game for five 149 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 3: or six years now, things have changed a lot. Can 150 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 3: you talk about like what the day to day work 151 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 3: looks like that the guys are doing compared to you know, 152 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 3: maybe when you played. I don't see as many guys 153 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: out there hitting batt in practice. Some teams rarely do 154 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 3: it apparently, And I'm wondering when when guys are working 155 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 3: on their defense and other things. I mean, I know 156 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 3: what we were used to, but it seems different to 157 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 3: me now. Is it is that true? 158 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: Uh? I feel like it was. I think this year 159 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: with Kurt Suzuki coming in. Uh, they really tried to 160 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 2: put more emphasis on defense. Uh. The guys are out 161 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 2: with Brady Anderson as the hitting coast. Now, you know, 162 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 2: he's gonna have him out there early hitting. I saw trout. 163 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 2: You know, he's there at eight in the morning on 164 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 2: the field hitting you know, extra and some guys will 165 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 2: go out with him so he can catch it, get 166 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: a break and uh. And the results are showing. Uh 167 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 2: in this early part of the season, and in spring 168 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 2: training he was actually hitting the ball, going back to 169 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: hitting line drives and and getting his pistol to hit. Uh. 170 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 2: I think he stopped hitting off the machine and and 171 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 2: uh and started going with live arm and uh and 172 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 2: and we definitely see some results. So these guys do work. 173 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: You know, they still have a lot of injuries in 174 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,479 Speaker 2: Major League baseball. Uh. And and you got all this technology. 175 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 2: You guys got workout program, nutritionists, besides therapists. They got 176 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 2: everything they need. But at the same time, they got 177 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: more injuries. And so I don't understand that, but I 178 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 2: think it's they get a lot of days off. They 179 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 2: don't have the like when you're working out, you bench 180 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: press two hundred pounds, but if you do it enough 181 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 2: and then you max out. Then you can bench press 182 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: two twenty, then you can bench press two forty. I 183 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 2: think these guys got to push themselves to play every 184 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: day as much as they can if you have an opportunity, 185 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 2: and that'll actually your mind will overtake the body and say, hey, 186 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: you got to go out and perform, and it heals itself. 187 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: So if you keep you know, baby, and a lot 188 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: of these guys giving them days off because they don't 189 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: feel right or whatever it may be, then they don't 190 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: know how to push through those walls and then you 191 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 2: get a lot of injuries that way. 192 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna take a quick break for a 193 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: word from our sponsors, and when we come back, we're 194 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: going to talk about Mike Troutz move back to center field, 195 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: something Tory knows a little bit about, and we're gonna 196 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: talk about Tory's work with Joe Adell.

Tory Mike Trout back in centerfield this year 220 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,599 Speaker 1: after toying with right field for a little bit. You 221 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: played centerfield mostly pretty much all of your career. In 222 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: a late career switch to right field. 223 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 2: What is it? You know? 224 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: Trout's talked about people have talked about this being easier 225 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: on your body moving the right field, but is it 226 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: really easier on your body? Is there any big difference? 227 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 2: Well, it's less running, especially if the dug out is 228 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 2: on the first base side. You you don't have to 229 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 2: run all the way across the field. But you know what, 230 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: there are some quick bursts in right field. Some balls 231 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 2: have a little seak, some got some balls have a 232 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: cut and you really have to really get after it 233 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 2: for about five to ten steps. In center field, you 234 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 2: go after and you can stay as smooth as possible. 235 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: And that's what I think Trout is talking about playing 236 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 2: center field. Actually, it's less on your body because you're 237 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 2: able to glide to the ball and uh and without 238 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 2: that quick burst and uh with with Trout having leg 239 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: injuries and his lower body, I definitely think that center 240 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: field and you know what, mentally him playing center field 241 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 2: and be able to be that kid again. I mean 242 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 2: he's thirty four years old, I think yeah, and uh, 243 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 2: just be in center field and be that kid again. 244 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 2: He still can run, he still can go after the ball. Uh. 245 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: It actually probably would help him in his total game. 246 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 2: So allow him to go and be that kid again 247 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 2: and be the Trout that his mind tells him to be. 248 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 2: He then his body will follow. Yeah. 249 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of backing up bases and 250 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 3: things in the corners too that that people don't always 251 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 3: account for. You know, right field you counted on to 252 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 3: bust it, you know, and all the players to first base. 253 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 3: Whether everybody does that, you know, you can judge for yourself. 254 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,719 Speaker 3: But uh, you know, I, yeah, played a lot of 255 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 3: right field. Couldn't hold your duck, but uh, you know 256 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 3: I would have liked to. Uh, but you know I 257 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 3: never had the speed. 258 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 2: Remote you know. 259 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 3: Part of this is is you have to have the speed. 260 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 3: Center field. Were fast, Yeah, you were really, That's what 261 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 3: I'll tell my daughter. 262 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 2: But down the line, you were my teammate for two years, so. 263 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 3: I know maybe, well I appreciate that even if you're 264 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 3: being nice. Uh, okay, so well, thank you very much. 265 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 3: I know it means a lot. Another thing that means 266 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 3: a lot, I think, probably to you. Joe Adell credited you, 267 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 3: uh with really helping him out, improving his approach at 268 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 3: the plate, improving his defense, especially in right field. I 269 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 3: mean I watched well now I watch every game, and 270 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 3: he made some tremendous strides and it really seems like 271 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 3: it came after the work you guys did. And I 272 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 3: know from you know, doing some coaching and hitting, especially 273 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 3: with hitters last few years. When you're not playing, kind 274 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 3: of the next best thing is getting credit, you know, 275 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 3: and it's not the credit, but you know, somebody's showing 276 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 3: appreciation for the work you put in to help them. 277 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 3: And that was really neat to see. Maybe if you, 278 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 3: if anything click with Joe that you can talk about. Uh, 279 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 3: was it more mental? 280 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 2: Maybe? Yeah, I definitely think it was more mental. I 281 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: think he's maturing. Uh. He's he's listening to more wisdom 282 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 2: and uh, and he's able to separate, you know, what 283 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 2: works for him and what doesn't work for him, So 284 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 2: you can give him a lot of options and whatever 285 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 2: doesn't work, he's he's mature enough to throw it out 286 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: the window and and keep the things that does. And 287 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: I think that's just maturation over time. He's uh, he's 288 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: starting to gather the right information. He's starting to shoot 289 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: the ball the other way a little more, uh, so 290 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: he could cover the whole field. This guy has tremendous 291 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 2: a tremendous amount of pop, you know, maybe the highest 292 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 2: exit velocity on the team, uh, majority of the time. 293 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: And uh and the ball that flies out the right 294 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: center field, he has more power than most people I know, 295 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 2: maybe not you, Trumbo, but this guy has some thumb 296 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: and right, he's got some and Uh. And if the 297 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: you know, the last two or three years we're in 298 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 2: the outfield, all he wants to do is get better defensively. 299 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 2: Hitting is like it has his ebbs and flows, it's 300 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 2: up and down, and defense should never slump. And I 301 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 2: told him, you want to play a long time play 302 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: defense because if he can be relied upon defense. When 303 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 2: you're struggling at the plate and you're not good at defense, 304 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 2: then you're not good at all of the team. But 305 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 2: when you struggling at the plate and you actually saved 306 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: runs on defense, you actually can keep yourself in the game. 307 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 2: And sometimes making good plays on defense can carry over 308 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 2: to your offense. So uh, he wants to get better defensively, 309 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: and you can see the improvement in the last two 310 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: or three years. 311 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 3: Sorry, Mike, Uh, you don't get enough credit for your 312 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 3: throwing arm. I think you know, everyone talks about your 313 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 3: you know, the the acrobatic players, the you know Robin 314 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 3: home runs, But I mean you had literally the most 315 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 3: accurate throwing arm that I played. I mean I played 316 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 3: first base. So part of the time you're counted on 317 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 3: to cutballs that have you know, side spin, not online. 318 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 3: Sometimes you're going to cut them if the runner might 319 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 3: be safe at home and the batter runner is going 320 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 3: to just run into that silly out. But with you, 321 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think I cut. I can't remember 322 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 3: cutting anything. They were always right on the money, perfect 323 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 3: one hot never overthrew the cutoff man either, which really 324 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 3: speaks to like fundamentally sound baseball. And you know, it 325 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 3: pains me to see these outfielders throw these you know, grenades, 326 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 3: and I'm not saying the angel players, but around the league, 327 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 3: it just like, and that's been as an outfielder that 328 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 3: is in your control, but you were I just wanted 329 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 3: to point that out that you're throwing arm just doesn't 330 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 3: get enough credit because strong and accurate. 331 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 2: I'm probably the one of the last guys that actually 332 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 2: took infield at six fifteen before the game started, you know, 333 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 2: And they kind of took that out of baseball. So 334 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: we had to throw with Tom Kelly with the Twins. 335 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 2: If you missed the cut off man, he will take 336 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 2: you off the field in front of all the people 337 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 2: and say, get off the field. You're not ready, right, 338 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 2: So we always had to take the field and it 339 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 2: was a serious thing. And so we have to be 340 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 2: fundamentally sound with the Twins. Kirby Puckett was one of 341 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 2: the guys say, I need you to be accurate. You 342 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 2: got a strong arm, but be more accurate. And my 343 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: only way you can be more accurate is one hop 344 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 2: the base. So I learned to throw hard and one 345 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 2: hop the base, which keeps it accurate. So when the 346 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: ball bounces, it only bounces a small disbursement and you 347 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 2: can make the player, you know me, trying to throw 348 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 2: the ball all the way to the bass. It's one 349 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: hundred and ten percent, which doesn't exist. And actually you're 350 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 2: throwing it. You're off, but your arm looks good. It's 351 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 2: for show, but you're not You're not getting any dope. 352 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 2: You're not getting making any money. So you're not throwing 353 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 2: anybody out because they have to reach up and come 354 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 2: back down. That's too much time for them to be safe. 355 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 2: So one thing I teach when I'm in the outfield 356 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 2: with the guys the last three years with the Angels 357 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 2: is hey, one hop base and not try to throw 358 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 2: the ball all the way. So we're doing that from 359 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 2: the minor leagues all the way to the major leagues. 360 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 2: Be more accurate. You'll be more accurate if you can 361 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: just one hop that base with with your strength. 362 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: One follow up on Joe Tory. You know he has 363 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: struggled a bit moving to center field, and he's a 364 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: lot better of for right field. Theer's a guy who's 365 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: played both, so well, how would you sort of coach 366 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: this guy up right now and when he has to 367 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: go up, you know, shift over to center field. 368 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 2: Joe's a big guy. You know, people don't understand. Jon's 369 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 2: about six', three you, know and and he's, jacked and 370 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 2: AND i think he's just a big body. Kid center 371 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 2: field is a place where if you need to Give 372 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 2: trout a, rest you can put him in center. Field 373 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 2: he can hold it. DOWN i don't think he's a 374 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 2: true center, fielder BUT i think he can hold it 375 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 2: down right. Phield it just seems like that's a better. 376 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 2: Fit his arm is strong enough to throw guys, Out 377 00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 2: he's able to get to the. BALL i think he's 378 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 2: more comfortable on right, field and, uh sometimes where guy's, 379 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 2: comfortable you got to allow him to play over. There 380 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 2: he's not hurting the team playing at right. FIELD i 381 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 2: would even try to stick him in center field for 382 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,239 Speaker 2: as a mainstay at. 383 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: All, yeah switching gears a little bit you interviewed for 384 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: the man managerial job with The angels last. Fall how 385 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: do you feel about that, process how it played out 386 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: and the outcome and are you still interested in becoming 387 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: a major league? Manager? 388 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 2: Uh, WELL i really enjoyed the process the last two 389 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 2: years with With perry AND.

MANAGE i don't know 403 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 2: IF i want to coach full, time but IF i 404 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 2: can manage and create the team that THAT i can, 405 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 2: see you, know AND i can see that wins and 406 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: give them the fundamentals that they need to go out 407 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 2: perform on a day to day. Basis Like Mark, trumbull 408 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: the it's the small, things, uh even in business right, 409 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 2: now it's the small things in the business, service you, Know, 410 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 2: uh the customer experience and all these different, things those 411 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 2: small things that people forget about because they looking at 412 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: the big. Thing the you, KNOW i definitely think that's 413 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 2: what keep customers coming. Back in, baseball if you fundamentally, 414 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 2: sound you can field the, ball turn the double, plays 415 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 2: throw the guys, out be more accurate at the, plate 416 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 2: have good two strike, approach battle at the, plate trying 417 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 2: to do less to get. More you do all these little. 418 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: Things that's what actually wins game because when you get 419 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,199 Speaker 2: to the, playoffs that's what. Matters during the, season if 420 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 2: you're hitting bombs and you're doing all those, things it 421 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 2: doesn't matter because you're gonna face a one to two 422 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 2: and the three.

IS i see playoff teams they 505 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 3: have a pretty clear leader usually if not more than. 506 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 3: One and what do you what are your thoughts on. 507 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 2: THAT i definitely think that you have to have wisdom 508 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: on your. SQUAD i mean every business, model EVERY uh 509 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 2: team that you know about that is one or or 510 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 2: going to the next, level they've always had wisdom amongst. 511 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 2: Them AND, uh AND i think just having a great 512 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 2: you just can't have the wisdom without the talent as. 513 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 2: Well so you got to have some talent with your. 514 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 2: Wisdom so you got to prove that you can go 515 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 2: out there and play every, day AND, uh they got 516 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 2: to watch you fail and see how you, react and 517 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 2: if you can bounce, back and the quicker you bounce, 518 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 2: back it builds up their. Leadership and, uh you, know 519 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 2: most leaders don't say that they're. Leaders they let other 520 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 2: people say that they're. Leaders and and and in this game, 521 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 2: TODAY i think it can't be analyzed and you can't evaluate, 522 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 2: it so they don't that leadership is like the last 523 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 2: quality that they're looking for because of analytics and. Data 524 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 2: that's what they're looking more, at what what you're not 525 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 2: doing and what you can. Do but as far as, 526 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 2: leadership it's like the last quality that they're looking. For 527 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 2: and BUT i think it should be something that You 528 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 2: i'll take character THAT i can teach you all the 529 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: fundamentals and teach you the. Game if you in a 530 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 2: professional ram in minor leagues and you come to the major, 531 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 2: league if you've got great character and great leadership, SKILLS 532 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 2: i can teach you how to hit and how to 533 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 2: play the game the right. Way SO i would definitely 534 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 2: take the character or the leadership skills, first and THEN 535 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 2: i can teach you whether it's in business and whether 536 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 2: it's in this. Game BECAUSE i think if you got great, 537 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 2: character that shows that you know you're gonna represent me 538 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: off the, field and for The, angels it shows that 539 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 2: you're gonna treat people with love and respect around, you 540 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 2: and you're gonna make people around you. Better and that's 541 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,479 Speaker 2: what good leaders. Do they make you better even when 542 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 2: they're going through rough. 543 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,479 Speaker 1: Times, tory how is your perspective on the game changed 544 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: since you, retired especially watching it now from the front office. 545 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 2: Side oh, Man i'll tell you. What one thing that the, 546 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: abs the abs is kind of it's cool because now 547 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 2: they're getting it. Right but the abs, also When i'm 548 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 2: watching it doesn't allow the players to. Swing they're thinking 549 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: that they're supposed to be, balls and that's not how 550 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 2: the game should be. Played you should be ready to 551 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 2: hit no matter. What AND i think they're getting more 552 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 2: lax because if it's even an inch off the, plate 553 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 2: they're like tapping their. Head i'm, like you should have 554 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,199 Speaker 2: been swinging at. That it's can protect the, plate you, 555 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 2: Know and so it's kind of like it's kind of 556 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 2: like a push and pull good and. Bad you, know 557 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 2: there's a lot of good in. It you, know we 558 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 2: all KNEW Cd butler was, bad but now we really. 559 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 6: See so you get some guys that exposed but at 560 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 6: the same, time it's not about. 561 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,439 Speaker 2: That it's really showing those guys. Up i'm be honest with. 562 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,479 Speaker 2: YOU i like a lot of the umpires as as. People, 563 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 2: uh but it's really showing those guys up a. Lot and. 564 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 2: Uh but at the same, TIME i think it's heard 565 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 2: the hitter because they're not aggressive. Enough. There there's it's two. 566 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 2: Lacks they if it's, close they're taking pictures down the 567 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 2: middle thinking that they're gonna get a. Walk i've never 568 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 2: seen so many backward backward kds in my life this, 569 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 2: year it seems so to. 570 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 3: Me it seems kind of, awkward to be, Honest AND 571 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 3: i know the umpires are not happy at. All i'm not. 572 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 3: Sure and maybe there was a memo that went out talking, 573 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,960 Speaker 3: about you know how they're trying to actually judge these 574 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 3: pitches and some of these you know that are so 575 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 3: borderline their, strikes but they you, know they're they're barely 576 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 3: in the. Box and you, know guys are getting a 577 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 3: lot of flat for either challenging the wrong ones or 578 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 3: not challenging other ones that you, know, confusion and we'll 579 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 3: have to see as it. GOES i think it's brand, 580 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 3: new so you, Know i'm all for, accuracy but with this, 581 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 3: One i'm not seeing it. Yet If i'm being, honest 582 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 3: it doesn't feel like the game THAT i. Knew and nobody, 583 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 3: gives you, know whatever about my opinion of WHAT i 584 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 3: want to, Watch BUT i don't. KNOW i do, thinking 585 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 3: and there's been a lot of storylines about. It if 586 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 3: that's what they're looking, for you got, it all? Right all, 587 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 3: Right my last question for, today but it's it's my personal. 588 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 3: Thing and you were a career two seventy seven. Hitter 589 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 3: over seventeen, years you average twenty one homers eighty two. 590 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 3: RBIs BUT i vividly remember you talking about that you 591 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 3: could count On Tory hunter to hit two, eighty to 592 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 3: hit twenty home runs and drive in eighty eighty. Runs 593 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 3: and If i'm, MISTAKEN i, apologize BUT i feel like 594 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 3: you said, that you, know and that was but you 595 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 3: were saying that that's what you held yourself too every, 596 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 3: year and you were dependable and teams could count on 597 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 3: that at least from, you if not more the batting. 598 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 3: AVERAGE i think that you know you do the best you. 599 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 3: CAN i always wanted to hit to. EIGHTY i never got, 600 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 3: there BUT i wanted to do, it AND i wasn't. Satisfied, Whatever, no, no, 601 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 3: no it's part of the part of the, deal had 602 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 3: the home. Runs BUT i thought it was AND i 603 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 3: still think it's very. Important do you think it's still 604 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 3: important to try and hit for high batting. 605 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 2: AVERAGE i think it's very important to hit for high bat. 606 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 2: Average if you've got a high bat average and you 607 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 2: got runners in scoring, POSITION i want you at the. 608 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 2: PLATE i don't want the guy that swings and whales 609 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 2: at you, know and rarely hits the ball. Consistently IF 610 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 2: i can have A riots at the plate every time 611 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 2: with a running scoring position the NiFe, ENDING i Want 612 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 2: Luisa riots at the plate because he's gonna make contact 613 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 2: and give me a chance to jump up and. Down 614 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 2: and SO i still think that trying to make contact 615 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 2: and trying to get that average up is very. Important 616 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 2: AND i think with the you know that spell in 617 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 2: five years, ago six years, ago where we got into 618 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 2: that launch launch angle and the exit velocity and all 619 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 2: these different, THINGS i think the average suffered a. Lot 620 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 2: but guys are getting paid for. That so if guys 621 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 2: are getting paid for, that and these players see that 622 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 2: they're getting paid for, this but hitting two forty two 623 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 2: thirty with forty home runs and sixty RBIs if they 624 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 2: getting paid for, that why WOULDN'T i try to do? 625 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 2: It SO i can't fault the players on. THAT i 626 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 2: fought the, philosophy AND i think that philosophy is starting 627 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 2: to change and come. BACK i think you saw With 628 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 2: Milwaukee brewers who went out there hit and, run, ran 629 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 2: and they bunted the. Ball they played the game the 630 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 2: right way and end up making themselves a playoff contending. 631 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 2: Team and uh, SO i think you're going to see 632 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 2: a lot of teams change that you saw it in the, 633 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 2: playoffs the way they played the game With Blue jay's 634 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 2: and it was all the little things that actually hurt 635 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 2: them and on both. Sides BUT i definitely think that you, 636 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 2: know when you when you talk about the small things 637 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 2: hidden for average is a thing THAT i will want 638 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 2: it to play opposed to trying to wait for a home. 639 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 2: RUN i want to see. ACTION i want to see, 640 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 2: movement And i'm pretty sure the fans want to see 641 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 2: the same thing as. 642 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 3: WELL a lot of hits on the ground. TOO i 643 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 3: mean it's like the ground ball hit kind of you, 644 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 3: know it's not as popular and, whatever but that's how 645 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 3: you keep your batting average up is getting those ground ball. 646 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 3: Hits you, know you hit them, hard sometimes you don't 647 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 3: hit them. Hard they all, count especially and you Mentioned 648 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 3: joe using the whole. Field there's there's a lot of 649 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 3: hits over there in that, fororehole you. Know but but 650 00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 3: it's not going to happen with a swing that's trying 651 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 3: to hit the, fields foul, pole get off if that's your. 652 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 3: Goal so SO i think that that's kind of What 653 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 3: i'm getting. At and you talked about, it you said 654 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 3: it better than, me but it is, IMPORTANT i, think 655 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 3: and hopefully it is coming back.
