1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: We kind of found out in our core what we

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: had as a team last year, and I think the

3
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: front office went out and did a great job of

4
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: realizing what we had and trying to build off of that.

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 2: For Sean and I had joining us right now, Kratz

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: take it away.

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 3: The Sean Mania.

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 4: Last year, the biggest story was your haircut. This year, yeah,

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 4: the biggest stories.

10
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 3: You're back. I appreciate you coming back on for us,

11
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 3: of course, Yeah, thanks for having me.

12
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 4: So how did it come together? How did it come together?

13
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 4: You coming back? You being back with this team. Obviously,

14
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 4: everyone wants to come back to the team that like, ah,

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 4: we didn't quite finish it, And everybody wants to come

16
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 4: to the team that gives you three year seventy five

17
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 4: million dollars. That's easy too, but somebody was going to

18
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 4: give it to you. How did it come together?

19
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like, I don't know. It was

20
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 3: my third time in free agency. It wasn't like that

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: much different.

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: You know.

23
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: It was just kind of like a lull in the

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: off season for a couple of months, and then you know,

25
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I got a lot of calls

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: and then it was like, all right, we're making a deal,

27
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: and it's pretty much what happened here. But I kind

28
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: of just knew, you know, being back with them, that's

29
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: would be great and you know, kind of priority number one.

30
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: So you know, that's what happened, and you know, I

31
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 3: feel like the organization reciprocated that and here we are.

32
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's great. You make it sound so easy.

33
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 4: Everybody else has like three hour meetings, need to learn

34
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 4: to dev chart and see what's going on. You're like, man,

35
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna go up and sling the rock up there.

36
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean that's kind of my life motto

37
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,639
Speaker 3: to try to make things as easy as possible, and

38
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 3: the more complicated, the the worse it gets. So I've

39
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: learned that over the years, and I really like simplification

40
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 3: of things. And yeah, it's that's where we're at. How

41
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: simple is this oblique thing?

42
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 4: Now we you know, we know you guys are gonna

43
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 4: be a playoff team a world series aspirations? Is this

44
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 4: still an oblique thing that you would say I probably

45
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 4: could have pitched through it had we known we're not

46
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 4: going all the way into October.

47
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, like right now, it's just easy

48
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: because you know season hasn't started yet, I might as

49
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: well just get out, get it out of the way now,

50
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: and kind of nip it in the bud before it

51
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 3: becomes something very very serious. And you know, just kind

52
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: of where where we're at. You know, I feel fine physically,

53
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 3: you know, at this point, just kind of making sure

54
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 3: everything's good and stable and no lasting residual effects, and

55
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: then we'll go from there.

56
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 5: Hey, Sean, I want to ask you you to can.

57
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 5: First off, congrats on everything my guy can. Congrats that

58
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 5: you've accomplished and achieved. But you know, I faced you

59
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 5: in your earlier days and your younger days out out

60
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 5: in Oapland, and even then I thought you were funky.

61
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 5: I thought it was a tough, a tough look. Uh,

62
00:02:59,200 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 5: that's tough.

63
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: You know.

64
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 5: It's up arm slot to pick up, you know, but

65
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 5: you still have continued to press and continue to try

66
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 5: to get better. And last year you had an incredible year.

67
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 5: You talk about some of these you've talked about some

68
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 5: of those adjustments. Whose idea was it to drop the

69
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 5: arms slot down? And and it's just and what allowed

70
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 5: you to trust it? What made you trust it so quickly?

71
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's I feel like everyone's told me that.

72
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 3: I've heard plenty of guys who become teammates say, you know,

73
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 3: it's like the the lulling of sleep to them, just

74
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 3: like the you know, the weird arm angles. So I

75
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: feel like that's kind of always been, you know, part

76
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: of my my thing. But after a while it just

77
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 3: couldn't it just never think nothing felt good or repeatable

78
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: or something where I was like going home at night

79
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: and being like, yeah, you know, like that was like

80
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: a that was a great outing from like a mechanical standpoint,

81
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 3: and I there was something else in there, and uh yeah,

82
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: I mean just that that one day, the the infamous

83
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 3: or not infamous, but the uh the Chrysale story. You know,

84
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: he he showed up and I was just like all right,

85
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: you know, like let's just try it out and see

86
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: what happens. And I, you know, I toyed around with

87
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: that idea before, but I guess I never like fully

88
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: committed to it, and you know, it just h I

89
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 3: threw a bullpen. A couple of days later, I talked

90
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 3: to hef and you know, the the crazy part was

91
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: that he didn't really notice anything. It was just like

92
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 3: any other bullpen, and you know, if I hadn't even

93
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: asked about it, uh, you know, something probably wouldn't even

94
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: like popped up. So you know, over the next couple

95
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: like months, Uh, you know, I feel like my arm

96
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 3: slot started to get like a lower and lower, which

97
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 3: is kind of crazy to even think about because it

98
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 3: was already pretty low to begin with. But yeah, I

99
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: don't know what that was. That wasn't me like intentionally

100
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 3: doing that. I think it just kind of just felt

101
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: more and more comfortable. And you know, I was throwing strikes,

102
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 3: so that kind of always my barometer. As if I'm

103
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: throwing strikes and I feel like I'm attacking guys, then

104
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 3: you know I should stop questioning it and just you know,

105
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: go with that and trust my gut.

106
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 5: Well, that was gonna be my next question. I was

107
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 5: going to ask, did it like was it a thing

108
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 5: where it just felt like more naturally even like like

109
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 5: you know, you you do these things for so many

110
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 5: years and you have so much success, But was it

111
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 5: just something that's as simple as like it actually just

112
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 5: feels good from throwing down here, like it was it

113
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 5: less stress on your arm or help? Like I was

114
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 5: just curious because that was gonna be my next question.

115
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I you know, whenever I would like

116
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: mess around playing first base or shortstop even I would

117
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: always just revert to throwing down here, and I could

118
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: never even throw it. And then you know, I kind

119
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: of when I was younger, I would have a very

120
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 3: hard time throwing to the bases. You know, the the

121
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: yips came into effect, and once I kind of not

122
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 3: conquered it, but I got over like that hump. It

123
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 3: was when I kind of dropped down and then I

124
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 3: felt comfortable from there, and then you know, the sale

125
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: thing happened, and then I was just like thinking about it,

126
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 3: like why don't I just try doing that? And then

127
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: you know, it was it was immediate from like that

128
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 3: first day, I was like I left that game of catch,

129
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: and like I still think about that day sometimes. I

130
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: was like, wow, that was like amazing. You know, like

131
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: I could just hear like the ball coming out differently,

132
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: just like the power output I was able to like

133
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: put into the ground felt way different. Just how my

134
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: arm felt. It kind of actually felt like a spring

135
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: and not just like muscling a ball towards home plate.

136
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: It was just like, you know, my body was aligning

137
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: itself and uh yeah, I mean like that's something I'd

138
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 3: always been like searching for for a very long time.

139
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 3: And you know, everything just kind of went into place

140
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: on that day, you know, those next couple of days

141
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 3: and yeah, you know, from that day on it was

142
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: just like, all right, well let's just lean into this

143
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 3: and you know, nothing hurts or anything like that. Then

144
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 3: you know this is kind of the path that I'm

145
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: going to go down. And you know, it tult to

146
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 3: me what happened.

147
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: All right, FTFAM collectors, there is a new better way

148
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: to buy, sell, trade, or display your sports cards. It's

149
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: called Arena Club and Kratz, I know you love it.

150
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: The ft FAM's got to go to arenaclub dot com

151
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: slash foul to sign up and get a little extra

152
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: something I'll tell you about in a moment. But buying

153
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: in the past was clunky, it wasn't easy.

154
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 4: It wasn't easy. But now you don't have to worry

155
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 4: about any of the shipping and it's all just it's

156
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 4: easy right there. It's guaranteed authentic too for me, so

208
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 4: hadn't signed yet. You guys were working out together based

209
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 4: on what your biceps look like and what his biceps

210
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 4: look like. Looks like you were doing bicep days and

211
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 4: he was more of the legs.

212
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 3: And back day. How did that? How did that signing?

213
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 4: And everything that the whole that whole period where it

214
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 4: looked like it doesn't look good, it looks good. It

215
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 4: doesn't look good. Pete, can you spot me like I'm

216
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 4: about to do about to do mac squat? Like what

217
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 4: were those conversations like for you guys? Now that he's

218
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 4: a Medican, it.

219
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 3: Goes back to me being simple. I don't really you know,

220
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 3: I wasn't really fretting. You know, I kind of leaving

221
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 3: the universe too, so you know, I thought things were

222
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 3: going to happen, and even if they didn't, uh, they're

223
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: just meant to be. So, you know, just the fact

224
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: that he's met again such a blessing. I love everything

225
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 3: Pete does as a human being, as a player, and yeah,

226
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: just working out together makes for a good offseasons.

227
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 4: So yeah, just super happy's back. So what is a

228
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 4: what does the clubhouse feel like because I was in there.

229
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 4: Every guest we've had on talking about vibes. Vibes maybe overused,

230
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 4: but I'll be honest, I've seen four other camps and

231
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 4: I said this to Francisco before, like you guys, have

232
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 4: you guys in the orioles, The vibes are immaculate.

233
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: Okay? Is that what you would say? Uh? Yeah, I

234
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: think you know you can. It's a long season. Everybody

235
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: knows that. The way you can make it less daunting

236
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 3: and grueling is if everyone's kind of vibing together and

237
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 3: you know, just having a good time, and that's half

238
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: the battle. Uh. Obviously, there's so many like different personalities

239
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 3: and you know, all these different things, all these different factors,

240
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 3: and you know, it's a very truly magical special thing

241
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: when you know, you get twenty six guys just all

242
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: pull in the same direction. And yeah, I think that's

243
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 3: what we got over there. So it's, uh, you know,

244
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: it's it's fun to be a part of it.

245
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 4: Sean, thanks for coming on. We appreciate it. Hopefully we

246
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,480

251
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 2: Kratz take it away, dude.

252
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I just said it, but you said, David Peterson,

253
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 4: I just said it.

254
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: I'm like your first year was twenty twenty.

255
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 4: I felt like we played against each other before that,

256
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 4: probably in the bushes probably, yeah, probably place you don't

257
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 4: want to go back to. And pretty much last year

258
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 4: you solidified you're not going back there.

259
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that's the goal, not go back Is that

260
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: the goal.

261
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 4: Every off season though, And then last year you weren't

262
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: even really like they didn't think that highly of you,

263
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 4: and you pushed out Mendy's words. You broke down the

264
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 4: door and you left it open, and now you've freaing.

265
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 4: You just ripped the whole door hinge off with the

266
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 4: year that you had, did you was there a moment

267
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 4: that you knew, all right, I'm here, I got this.

268
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I I could kind of see it sporadically,

269
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: and then had the hip surgery last off season and

270
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: was able to fix that up. And then yeah, when

271
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: I started throwing again, I just you know, I could

272
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: I could feel the consistency of my motion and my mechanics,

273
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: and yeah, I just started to see the the work

274
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: and the stuff that I knew that I had, just

275
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: on a more consistent basis.

276
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 3: How long was that hip bugging you?

277
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: I mean I had had issues for a couple of years,

278
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: but I just thought it was tight, and you know,

279
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't know how bad it was until

280
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: we got the image. And then in twenty three I

281
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: had a start in Philly where I felt something sharp

282
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: on one pitch and that was when it was like, Okay,

283
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: let's once the season's done, let's get it looked at

284
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: and see what's going on inside of there.

285
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 4: You thought it was just something else that was always hurting,

286
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 4: Like stuff hurts right when you play all these all

287
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 4: these like physicals that guys get and like, oh well

288
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 4: we got to get pictures, ah decline the physical, Like

289
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 4: does that make you think I'm not telling anybody when

290
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 4: something hurts? Or because now you got the surgery and

291
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 4: you're like, whoa, everything's flowing together and you were dominant

292
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: last year, you know what I might tell because they

293
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 4: might be able to fix something and I can unlock

294
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 4: something else.

295
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's kind of raised and influenced in

296
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: a very old school manner growing up, and definitely was

297
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: taught the distinction of hurt versus injured early on, and

298
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: so you know, you play hurt, but if you're injured,

299
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: then you got to say something. So yeah, I mean

300
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: when I when I finally felt it on one pitch

301
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: and the last couple of starts of the year in

302
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: twenty three, just kind of piecing it together together every

303
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: five days to get back out there. That was when

304
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: it was like, okay, let's let's take a deeper dive

305
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: and see what's going on. But yeah, they had kind

306
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: of always just said, like, you know, you got tight hips,

307
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: you might have a little bit of an impingement, but

308
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: we never had an image, so we didn't really know

309
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: how bad it was. But and it was bad, so

310
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: you got to fix Yeah, exactly.

311
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 4: I'll be the first one to admit, and this is

312
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 4: why I love doing the show like a players show,

313
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 4: player driven show, and we have players on. I'm like,

314
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 4: the Mets need to add a little bit more starting pitching.

315
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 4: Now I get to ask one of those starting pitchers,

316
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 4: not saying you would have lost your job, but you

317
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: know there's other dudes in your clubhouse that would have

318
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 4: lost their job had you gotten Corbyn Burns, had you

319
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 4: gotten you know, traded for Crochet, the big names that

320
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 4: are out there, what do you guys talk about as

321
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 4: a group, as a starting pitching group that you guys

322
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 4: look like you jelled so much Manaia was just in here.

323
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 4: You guys were doing the paint last year, all your

324
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: pitcher guy gimmicks. But what do you guys talk about

325
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 4: when like, you know, that's the conversations that are being said.

326
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's always been, you know, since I've

327
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: been here, there's always been an emphasis going into spring

328
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: training we need more starting pitching, We need starting pitching depth.

329
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: So my first couple of years it was always like,

330
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: now there's one spot left, we got some depth. Guys

331
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: kind of see how irons out and yeah, you know,

332
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: I think it's this is probably the best that I've

333
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: seen out of you know, the front office putting together

334
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: just a handful of guys that have, uh have done

335
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: it and done it well at the major league level.

336
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: And we've obviously had some guys have some stuff early on,

337
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: and that's where that depth comes into place. And having

338
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: uh as many guys as you can uh ready to

362
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,159
Speaker 5: look healthy, you look confident. Last year, the way the

363
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 5: season went, you were thrust into some extremely big spots

364
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 5: for that organization, and you you pitched well. Man, you

365
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 5: showed that you were up up for the challenge.

366
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 3: You.

367
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 5: I go back to that wildcard game that you closed, Uh,

368
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 5: you know, and then you talk about the five and

369
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 5: the third shuty. Can you talk about those experiences and

370
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 5: what are you looking forward to this year after being

371
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 5: in those roles and those those experience what what do

372
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 5: you want to see out of yourself this coming year?

373
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think the goal is to continue

374
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: where where I left off last year, you know, kind

375
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: of keep doing the same thing, continue to get better

376
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: every single day and and work hard. And uh yeah,

377
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: it was fun, you know, kind of switching roles at

378
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: the end of the year. We had multiple conversations and

379
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: just talked about, hey, you know, you you might be

380
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: helping us out in the most spots out of the bullpen.

381
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: And so it was after starting the last game of

382
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 1: the regular season before we went to Atlanta for those games.

383
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't going to start against Milwaukee and so being

384
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: in the bullpen there it was. It was fun getting

385
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: my first career save in a playoff environment and advancing

386
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: and then obviously the my last appearance, uh, starting against

387
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: the Dodgers in another elimination game was awesome. And yeah,

388
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, I think we we kind of found out

389
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: in our core what we had as a team last year,

390
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: and I think the front office went out and did

391
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: a great job of, you know, realizing what we had

392
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: and trying to build off of that and make this team,

393
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: uh the best version we can for twenty twenty five.

394
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: And I'm excited to get to work and get the

395
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: season rolling.

396
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, I want I want to follow on that. You

397
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 5: talk about being the best version of the Mets in

398
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five, What did you learn last year from

399
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 5: not only your team yourself?

400
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 3: Can you you got me? He's it? Nope?

401
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 4: Still now try try again, Cam? Do you just Guy's

402
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 4: ear piece of you got me?

403
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 5: You got me?

404
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 3: He's got nothing? Okay? What are you saying was.

405
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 4: Cam would probably hit a dinger against you. That's what

406
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 4: he was saying. I wasn't honestly paying attention to Cam's questions.

407
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 4: So if we get it back, we'll get it back.

408
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: You can hear Cam go ahead.

409
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 3: Go ahead, give me the questions. Go ahead ask it,

410
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: He'll ask you. I just.

411
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 5: Last year, you know, from beginning to the end, you know,

412
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 5: dealing with the New York media, a lot of criticism,

413
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 5: and then you look up and, like you said, there

414
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 5: were one game from being in the World Series. What

415
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 5: did he learn about that team as a whole throughout

416
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 5: that season, from beginning to end? What did he he

417
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 5: learned and what is he looking forward to?

418
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,479
Speaker 4: What did you learn from the team last year? Basically

419
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 4: the fact that you guys were one game away from

420
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 4: the World Series from beginning to end, what did you

421
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 4: learn that now you guys are going to move forward

422
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 4: with for this season?

423
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know, last year we kind of

424
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: came in and after the way twenty three went, I

425
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: think it was kind of, you know, go out there

426
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: and see what we got. I think we didn't really

427
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: have externally a lot of expectations and obviously got off

428
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: to a rough start and had to dig ourselves out

429
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: of a hole. But I think, you know, the constant

430
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: fight and not quitting of that team to get to

431
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: where we did. Like you said, to be one game

432
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: away was awesome. And I think it's you know, being

433
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: able to get a taste of the playoffs in twenty

434
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: two being the home wild card and getting eliminated, and

435
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: then last year being able to move deeper into the

436
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: playoffs and see what it's like and what it takes

437
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: to to move on round to round, I think was awesome.

438
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: And you know, the next step is getting past the

439
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: CS and and get into the ultimate showdown and.

440
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 3: Win that win.

441
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 4: Did you keep the ball from the safe? I got

442
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 4: so many things that while you were talking to Cam.

443
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 4: Did you get to keep the ball?

444
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 3: I did? Yeah?

445
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: Uh, Pete had it and gave it to me when

446
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: we were in the clubhouse afterwards. So yeah, I got

447
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: that one at home.

448
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: That's awesome. That that's awesome.

449
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 4: We actually asked that, asked that later to but I

450
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 4: was going when you talked about the Phillies. I have

451
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 4: to go on record here. I picked you guys to

452
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 4: finish third. You could probably clear less because you guys

453
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: are gonna go out and just try to win as

454
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 4: many games as possible, stay healthy, do all that stuff,

455
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 4: but you yourself dominate the Phillies. What is it about that lineup?

456
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 4: Or because going five and a third shutout, I think

457
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 4: you went in the MLDS, you pushed it over into

458
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 4: playoffs sometimes like guys do well in the regular season

459
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 4: and then it's like, eh, postseason, you just kept it going.

460
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 3: What is it?

461
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 4: Is it something about how their line's constructed. Is it

462
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 4: something about the way that they attack you? Is it

463
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 4: something about how you just have confidence in a bigger game,

464
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 4: division rival against them?

465
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's part of it. That's that's kind

466
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: of the division rival It's always fun being in those

467
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: rivalry games, whether it's at home and our fans are

468
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: all fired up about them being in town, or we're

469
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: at their place and it's rocking and it gets loud.

470
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, I think they have some lefties

471
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: in there, probably more than I see on a on

472
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: a normal basis in a start, So that's that always

473
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: works in your advantage to have some same side guys.

474
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: And yeah, you know, I think it's just, you know,

475
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: we're two good teams continuing to battle and obviously see

476
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: each other a lot during the year, So I think

477
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's a fun matchup and a good

478
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: rivalry to be a part of.

479
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 3: Where were you when Soda signed?

480
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 4: When you found out not only where where he's going,

481
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 4: but how much he's going for.

482
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was I was sitting on the couch at

483
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: home and just kind of I think we were watching

484
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: something with my wife and kids and saw something on

485
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: ESPN pop up and said Soda was coming to the

486
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: Mets and uh, And then a couple of minutes later,

487
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: I think the the numbers came out, and it's just

488
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: it's it's wild good for him. I mean, reaching reaching

489
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: free agency at twenty five twenty six is uh something

490
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 1: not a lot of guys get to do. And yeah,

491
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm glad to have him here. It's it's been good

492
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: to meet him and be around him a little bit

493
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: and watch him work, and I'm excited to play with

494
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: him this year.

495
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 4: Do you think he's gonna buy you a gift besides dinners?

496
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 4: Like he's got dinners for days, he's got he's got

497
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 4: your kids dinners. You think he's gonna buy like a

498
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 4: let you? Does your vibe get plague with him?

499
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 3: Like? Is he a gift guy? I don't know.

500
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he he got baity something pretty special for

501
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: the number, So yeah, I don't know, we'll see. I

502
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: think a nice gift would be, uh doing what he

503
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: does consistently at the play for us and manufacturing the

504
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: offense like he does and adding a crucial piece in

505
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: that lineup with the rest of the guys that are

506
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: in there.

507
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 4: What would he need to have needed to buy you

508
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 4: had you been number twenty two? I don't know, Uh,

509
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 4: like a five twenty nine for your kids?

510
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 3: How many kids you got?

511
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: You got two right now, so then maybe.

512
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 3: Like you could have taken care of the kids college

513
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 3: and the rest. You never know. Let's be creative.

514
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: Okay, it's one thing off the sheet.

515
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 3: That's one thing off the list. You don't have to hit.

516
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 4: All right, We're going to hit a couple quick hitter questions.

517
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 4: And the first one that I really wanted to hit

518
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 4: the whole like, where is that baseball? Where's that where's

519
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 4: that save ball? Where did you put it in your house?

520
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

521
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: It's uh, we're in the process of of building a

522
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 1: house right now, so it's it's in our current house. Uh,

523
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: downstairs with the rest of my stuff. But uh, yeah

524
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: it was.

525
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 3: It was.

526
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: It was a fun experience and this funny Pete came

527
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: up to me and he was like, hey, here's the

528
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: here's the ball from your save. And I was like,

529
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: I knew the situation and I knew where I was at.

530
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: But it hit me after the game when he gave

531
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: me the ball that it was my first career save,

532
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: which was a cool moment. Afterwards, that's crazy.

533
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 3: Because in the moment you're like, do I get a win?

534
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 3: I was like, we just gotta win.

535
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: Our dog fought like we're jumping around and yeah, it was.

536
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: It was chaos, but it was a lot of fun.

537
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 3: That's awesome. Do you collect baseball cards?

538
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: I did a little bit as a kid, but not really.

539
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 3: Right now, what are your top what would be your

540
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 3: top two? If you had two rookie cards that you

541
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 3: could get, what would be your top two? Top two?

542
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: Good Griffy as one of them, and maybe like Sandy Kofax, Okay, lefties,

543
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: goy just stick to get a right what's the personality

544
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: that we need to know about that's in that clubhouse

545
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: right now?

546
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 3: In spring training?

547
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: I mean you just had Sean On obviously he was

548
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,920

549
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: of the EyeBlack and some of the fun stuff.

550
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 3: That we did, and.

551
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's he's one of those guys that

552
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: just you know, you know when he walks in in

553
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: the morning, and he's a fun guy to be around.

554
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: He's always bringing the spirits up. And yeah, we've we've

555
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: got some characters in there, so it's it's fun to

556
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: see kind of where guys are out on a daily basis,

557
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: and it's fun to have Pete back. He's he's an

558
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: awesome personality in the clubhouse as well. So yeah, we

559
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: got a lot of characters in there.

560
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 4: I have to say, as we're about to leave, I

561
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 4: absolutely own this guy. So I will get tons of hits.

562
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 4: But I need to say that because my son's here

563
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 4: and he looks at my stats in my career and

564
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 4: I sucked. So I'm one for one with an RBI.

565
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 4: I think we beat you guys that day too, in

566
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 4: in Yankee Stadium. It was the COVID season. Anyway, it

567
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 4: doesn't matter, doesn't matter, it's just another hit. But not

568
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 4: for me, it's not another hit. I didn't have many,

569
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 4: So there's that they appreciate you coming on
