00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: big league?

00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 5: This is amazing.

49
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: Last year I looked, I think there were eleven players

51
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 3: I just told you it's only seven.

52
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: As we talked on this day, how hard is it

53
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 4: to hit over three hundred in the big league?

54
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: Exactly?

55
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean really telling like you said seven, there's

56
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 8: a lot of players have a tough game.

57
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 11: At day in, day out, getting your.

58
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 8: Four or five eight best a long season, you know,

59
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 8: your body may not feel you're feeling the best. Theresial,

60
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 8: you got a grind through and just trying to have

61
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 8: party of beas and just you know, kind of passing

62
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 8: the time.

63
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 10: For the guy behind you. But yeah, Satan, it's a

64
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 10: tough game.

65
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 5: You know baseball.

66
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: Hit the ball hard. You can be now you hit

67
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: this off, you get hits vice versus a tough game.

68
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 6: You know, probably the hardest of the world.

69
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 4: Can you teach hitting or is it just something that

70
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 4: we have good eye hand coordination and then you can.

71
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: Improve your at bad to not give up that fats?

72
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 5: But can you actually teach hitting or have you always

73
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 5: been a.

74
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 12: Good to gives?

75
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 5: I think both can be true.

76
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 8: You know, I feel like I've gained a lot of

77
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 8: knowledge as a professional. If you're hitting, I think I

78
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 8: had some kind of god given ability and trained a

79
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 8: lot of handye coordination as an amateur. And yeah, I

80
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 8: would say definitely. You know you kind of involved as

81
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 8: enter and you have more at bats you face the

82
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 8: qualities of pictures and the different pitch shape. So I

83
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 8: think over time you can becoming a better hitter. And

84
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 8: you know, you're certain hitting coaches that gave you the

85
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 8: right cues that kind of launch.

86
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 6: Some for youself.

87
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think for sure can get better.

88
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 10: But I think part of it, yeah, you know, god

89
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 10: given or hand dye coordination or whatever it is.

90
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 4: But how about you since coming into the working into

91
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 4: the big league in twenty twenty three.

92
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: How much have you improved?

93
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: And what do you do better?

94
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 4: Is it hitch your recognition, not getting yourself out?

95
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 5: What have you done from the start to do?

96
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 8: I mean, I try to speak consists as possible.

97
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 5: My job's to get on Mason.

165
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 8: of postseasons and played meaningful games that come down.

166
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 10: The stretch and from your sucou side, that's the goal.

167
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 10: And then this year, I'll just trying to finish sure

168
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 10: a strong SERI we end up.

169
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 8: But yeah, definitely next year and I think the expectations fight.

182
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,600

186
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 4: And got off to a jankie start of you know,

187
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 4: uneven not playing that well.

188
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 5: But I've turned it around and now as you look,

189
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 5: I've shot at the postseason.

190
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 12: What's happened?

191
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 6: They put themselves in a spot.

192
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 13: You know what happened and this isn't gonna get talk

193
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 13: about a whole lot nationally because they didn't make it

194
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 13: blockbuster rou But what they did was if they went

195
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 13: out there and they traded some minor leaguers without training

196
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 13: their top prospects and got just good everyday players that

197
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 13: have done this for a long time, guys like Mike

198
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 13: you Stretch, guys like Adam Frazier, guys like Randall Bridchicken.

199
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 13: So they sort of brought me and you know about

200
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 13: all the players on this team, the superstars about you

201
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 13: with juniors, the vine Festo Martinos, mike L Darcilla was

202
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 13: an All Star this year, Salvado Prez and Salvador Press.

203
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 13: They went in there and got a bunch of guys

204
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 13: that have been through these battles before that draw walks

205
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 13: that see a lot of pitches, and I think it

206
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 13: just kind of calmed the offense down, or I want

207
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 13: to say a little fire under the offense, but just

208
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 13: lent some stability that they didn't have before.

209
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 4: I have no doubt about it, and obviously met you,

210
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 4: Salvo or thirty five you I'm still doing it.

211
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 5: It's incredible, isn't it.

212
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 4: It really is to be a catcher and to be

213
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 4: able to do that find yeah, and I think to

214
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 4: do it every day.

215
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 13: They had an interesting set up the last couple of

216
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 13: years because his backup who really dementored Freddy for me

217
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 13: and Leaven as well, and Can started as many days,

218
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 13: if not more days a catcher. Then Ben with Salva depressed,

219
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 13: it enabled him to go to first base, enabled him

220
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 13: to dh he.

221
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 6: Loves to catch every single day for me. Is thirty five.

222
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 13: Now they trade away Freddy for me and they get

223
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 13: a couple of good pictures for him.

224
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 6: And so he's catching more right now. But he should

225
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 6: be rested.

226
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 13: Enough as we get later in the year. But I

227
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 13: think Rob that last year he had a just off

228
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,599
Speaker 13: the charge year at thirty four, and it was like

229
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 13: man just found the youth going on right here. And

230
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 13: he started off slow, and you know, when you're at

231
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 13: this age and your numbers are down, people start to

232
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 13: ask that question.

233
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 6: And then it's like the switch foot in the middle

234
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 6: of the summer.

235
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,719
Speaker 13: I don't know what happened, and he was back to

236
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 13: beating himself again. He knows that the end is closer

237
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 13: than Bean's ever been before. I guess it always is

238
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 13: a little bit closer as long as you're going along.

239
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 13: But he still has the same energy, he still has

240
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 13: the same level of the game, the knowledge, he's the leader,

241
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 13: he's the captain, and he's still a very dangerous er.

242
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 5: Talk about Bobby Wood Jr.

243
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 4: We know last year he was writing the running for

244
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 4: MVP of the American League, and you know, not the

245
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:51,479
Speaker 4: same season.

246
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 12: As last year, but still really good. He continues to

247
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 12: get better, does yeah.

248
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 13: And you know what's crazy about it is that when

249
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 13: he's not as good, it's still one of the best things.

250
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 9: Right.

251
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 4: I was going to say, right, it's just because it's

252
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 4: his His level is so high that you know, well,

253
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 4: and it's like.

254
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 6: Somebody said to me recently. I think somebody, you know,

255
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 6: another team's broadcaster said to me recently. He said something like, man,

256
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 6: his home runs are down. I'm like, yeah, but he

257
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 6: needs the American League of doubles, and those doubles.

258
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 13: Can turn into home runs. With his feet and what

259
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 13: he's able to do, he's still up there with the

260
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 13: solar basis. Right now as you and I are talking,

261
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 13: he has a twelve game hitting streak, going longest acting

262
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 13: in baseball he has.

263
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 6: I think it's now, I think it's twelve ten or twelve.

264
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 6: Think it's twelve in his peer double digit streets.

265
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 5: Is that there's more seasons.

266
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 13: So he just gets on these roles and then every

267
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 13: now and then when he's cold, if that's a thing,

268
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 13: it's like going for four or maybe it's a couple

269
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 13: of nights without it hit.

270
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 6: But when you see it every single day, you just

271
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 6: see that he very quietly.

272
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 13: Somehow does and he's he's an understated personality anyway, so

273
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 13: you're he his play is going to sell for itself,

274
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 13: but the personality is not going to help sell it

275
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 13: because he's just he's more like a Microud and that

276
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 13: standpoint and then you look up at the end, you're like, goodness,

277
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 13: it's some of the best numbers in baseball. He was

278
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 13: rob recently when he got his hundred career home run,

279
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 13: became the fourth player, I believe, in Major League Baseball

280
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 13: history to have one hundred homers and one hundred stolen

281
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 13: bases in four seasons. The others were Bobby Bonds. Let's see,

282
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 13: I can remember these Bobby Bonds, Julio Rodriguez and General Shabo.

283
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 12: Incredible dame, you know that, no doubt about it.

284
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 4: Bennie the rookie tell me about him and funning blocks.

285
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

286
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 13: Vido bask Wintino is just he's another one like we

287
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 13: look up and he started a little slow, and the

288
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 13: numbers book down and then suddenly you look and it's.

289
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 6: Like, wait a minute.

290
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 13: He he's among the RBI leaders. Even where the slow start.

291
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 13: He had a home Munsters that just ended five straight games.

292
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 13: He and Joey o'tanni were the only twos I think

293
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 13: at the five this year, last to get the six.

294
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 13: Good company, yeah, last year Drappiel Dever's so he's not

295
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 13: a home run hitter per se, yet here he is a.

296
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 6: Twenty seven hold runs. Or you and I were talking.

297
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 13: Leading the Royals if a dangerous left handed hitter. We

298
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 13: love the Dukes is a huge personality, so you know

299
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 13: you're leading good sound by easier guy. He's always going

300
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 13: to be your guy.

301
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 6: And he's just been very much entrenched in the middle

302
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 6: of the line up in a great left handed back.

303
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 12: Oh right, here's the other things.

304
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 5: The Als Central Tigers ran.

305
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 4: Away, then they had a terrible I don't know, they

306
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 4: look terrible for about two weeks and then they got

307
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 4: it back and everything this division were then obviously the Partiers, Royal,

308
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 4: the Twins.

309
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 12: We're in there for a minute. It's kind of a

310
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 12: punky division.

311
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 5: Here's another spot other than the Tigers, and this is

312
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 5: what the Royals are trying to do.

313
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 13: Yeah, and I think right now the Tigers are the

314
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 13: team that everyone should be looking at that is trying

315
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 13: to take that next step.

316
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 6: And you could say the Royals did take that next

317
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 6: step last year, but if you look at teams that

318
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 6: struggle in the first.

319
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 13: Half looks back to what the Tigers did lack year.

320
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 13: I evene was talking to someone in the Royals. I said,

321
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 13: around the deadline time, I said, Tiger's sold last year,

322
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 13: and look at what happened. I mean, I think that's

323
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 13: probably a little bit of an outlier to sell and

324
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 13: then suddenly get that much better and become one of.

325
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 6: The hottest and not the hottest team in baseball. He said,

326
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 6: I don't know, maybe there's something to that.

327
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 13: I don't think the new glupen it's going to be

328
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 13: let's just have a buyer sale and and but there's

329
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 13: something that lit a fire or opened up other spotsmen.

330
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 6: You know, you could guys like the Tigers, and I

331
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 6: know that you have, but I think it's a reminder too.

332
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 13: That with the right moves and the right kind of

333
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 13: group of players, kind of through whatever you want to

334
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 13: call it, that when you catch the right group.

335
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: You can do a lot of things.

336
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 13: And so I think I can get teams hope. I think,

337
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 13: look at you're in last place. You're where the White

338
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 13: Sox are at They're improved in a different way if

339
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 13: you're where.

340
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 6: The Rockies are at. Here, if you're not going to

341
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 6: be inspired, I don't.

342
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 13: Think now the lease distance a better fights, not.

343
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 6: The right but the Royals can be And it's a

344
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 6: reminder to both sides of that. You could have a

345
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 6: terrible stretch like the Tigers did for two weeks.

346
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 13: Fortunately for them, they've built so much equity that I

347
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 13: was reading that Aja Names talked about lessons learned during that.

348
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 13: That's a good stretch to have because if they go

349
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 13: through that again in September, you can hopefully you know

350
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 13: whatever team you are, in this case the Tigers.

351
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 6: And if you could process that and understand that it

352
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 6: stop the end of the world.

353
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 13: Royls like they want to go in the last couple

354
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 13: of weeks of the season last year and had some

355
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 13: veterans like Tommy Damn.

356
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 6: That said, we're still buying.

357
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 5: We can do this.

358
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 6: The Royals have very much been like that this year too,

359
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 6: a lot of a lot of downs, a lot of

360
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 6: up to lockdown.

361
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 13: They got up more lately, although they don't seem to

362
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 13: be up too much when they come to Detroit.

363
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 4: Now that's a tough spot for a lot of teams.

Speaker 4: coming into Wednesday batting over three.

382
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,760

00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 12: What's clicking for you are cutting.

384
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, just staying my approach, trying to look for a

385
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 9: good page to hit, to execute my approach.

386
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 10: Stand on the lift side of the field and you

387
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 10: can take you a lists.

388
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 4: It's the fuel different or I mean, I look at

389
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 4: your stats, almost three hundred and bats big leagues. Not

390
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 4: too many people the average batting average in the major

391
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 4: leagues is two forty two. Not too many have a

392
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 4: three hundred batty.

393
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 10: How that feels, Yeah, it feels good.

394
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 9: Just a testaments all the hard work and hard work

395
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 9: that goes in behind the scenes, and you can sin

396
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 9: you to.

397
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 10: Know who I am, continue to know my game, know

398
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 10: my approach.

399
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 9: And sticking to that every single day and trying to

400
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 9: execute that as much as I can.

401
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 4: Speaking of your game stealing last year in the minor leagues,

402
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 4: a hundred and four stolen bases and a hundred and

403
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 4: ten games. This year thirty four stolen bases. Uh coming

404
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 4: into Wednesday. Uh does it feel the same. I know

405
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 4: you've been caught ten times this year, but what's the

406
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 4: difference in stealing bases in the minors and the majors.

407
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean catches are better.

408
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 9: Uh, they got better on better pop times, uh pictures. Uh,

409
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 9: they're paying attention to you more. So I know that

410
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 9: every team has a game plan for me, uh coming

411
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 9: into a series. So that's a big difference. Just a

412
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 9: lot of teams just paying attention more and I'm having

413
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 9: to really like pick my spots more often.

414
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 4: Now, how about the as a uh right handed rower,

415
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 4: left handed hitter. That's unusual a lot of people gonna

416
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 4: do that. Where did that come from? Was it the

417
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 4: way you grab the bat earlier on?

418
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 5: If?

419
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 12: Did one side feel better?

420
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 5: And how can you not a switch?

421
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 12: You know, if you're a right handed thrower.

422
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, I guess. I mean I'm a I'm right hand dominant.

423
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 7: Uh.

424
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 9: But my dad loved Barry Bonds growing up, so he

425
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 9: put me on the left side and definitely the opposite

426
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 9: of Barry Bonds. But I'm glad he did over on

427
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 9: the left side cause it's it's a good way to

428
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 9: advocate my speed.

429
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 4: So how about your favorite player? Okay, your dad's Barry Bonds.

430
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 4: Did you want to be in Barry Bonds too? Is

431
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 4: it somebody else to part of your game?

432
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 5: After?

433
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: Uh?

451
00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 9: Americans played basketball and football.

452
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,199

464
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 12: Buston is from Georgia, not Atlanta.

465
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 4: He's a little older than you guys, but there is

466
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,280

467
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 4: as we as we finish the season, do you have

468
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 4: like goals or you're just trying to be consistent? What

469
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,879

470
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,840

00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,879

509
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 14: own you know, getting a pitch I can drive and

510
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 14: not swinging at the pitches pitch and on defense, moving

511

Speaker 4: Abrams Uh from the Washington Nationals join us here inside

553
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 4: the parker Uh I talked about the losing streak you

554
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: guys had, you guys from about five hundred then things

555
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 4: just kind of came undone. How do you weather or

556
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 4: something like that, a losing streak where nothing seems to

557
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 4: go right. You guys had leads in some games, you

558
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 4: know what I mean, gave them up. It wasn't like

559
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 4: you couldn't compete, but you just didn't win. How do

560
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 4: you whether the storm? What was the clubhouse?

561
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 12: Or the mood, like, how do you deal with that?

562
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 14: Yeah, we just had to keep our head up. You know,

563
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 14: like you said, you weren't playing bad baseball. The States

564
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 14: weren't going our way, and that's baseball. Sometimes you just

565
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 14: gotta keep pushing and stay positive. You know, it's easy

566
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 14: to get down to yourself, but you can't let that happen.

567
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 14: So you know, you just came in, take it day

568
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 14: by day and try to get wings every single day.

569
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 12: How about playing in DC and there's a there's a

570
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 12: fan base down there. I mean I I go a

571
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 12: lot of times and check out DC.

572
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 4: How are the fans when you guys are playing Wall

573
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 4: seems like they're into it at a younger crowd too.

574
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean DC is a great place and fans

575
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 14: are electric. You know, they come to the games. You know,

576

Speaker 4: or or bring it along these young players.

582
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,400

Speaker 18: after being added to the BEREBA list for personal reasons,

660

Speaker 18: brought in the run or a hit in eight of

666
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 18: ten games. The centerfielder is stepping up just when the

667
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 18: Brewers need every bit of firepower and flare on this

668
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:14,080

675
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:45,080

676
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: And now from mlbdbro dot com, here's Jrgamba Jr.

677
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 7: Is it foul or fair to say that Joe Adell,

678
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 7: who recently hit his thirtieth home run, finally has reached

679
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 7: his potential with the La Angels.

680
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 6: Fair?

681
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: It's a fair ball?

682
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 19: When Joe Adell was taking with the tenth overall pick

683
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 19: of the twenty seventeen MLB draft. He had all of

684
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 19: the measureaballs a six foot two, two hundred and fifteen

685
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 19: pound frame, crazy power speed, and elite defensive capabilities. The

686
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 19: world knew Odell was a project, but he was expected

687
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 19: to become a future All star in the Major League Baseball.

688
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 19: His immediate rise wasn't smooth, as Adele came up in

689
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 19: twenty twenty, but was inconsistent and strikeout prone before finally

690
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 19: breaking through as a full time starter, getting over four

691
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 19: hundred at bats for the first time in twenty twenty

692
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 19: four under Ron Washington and Bol Porter as they joined

693
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 19: the franchise.

694
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 12: Speaking of Bo Porter, he's been one of Adell's.

695
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 19: Biggest proponents and has always projected the success he's having

696
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 19: Right now.

697
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: Adele hit his thirtieth.

698
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 19: Homer, reaching a plateau that all of his supporters knew

699
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 19: he was capable of. He's slugging close to five hundred

700
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 19: this season, and it's two thirty four batting average is

701
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 19: respectable enough to expect him to reach the two sixty

702
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 19: mark during his peak seasons.

703
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 10: At just twenty six.

704
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 19: Years old, Adele still has plenty of time to blossom

705
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 19: into a perennial All Star he just missed this season.

706
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 19: There are many people who felt that the hard work

707
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 19: would eventually pay off and he'd get those kinks out

708
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 19: in his game. Sometimes faith and belief is good enough,

709
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 19: and this new Angels regime, they put all of their

710
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 19: faith in Joe Adell as another serious and intimidating long

711
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 19: ball threat alongside future Hall of Famer Mike Trout.

712
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: They always say next year is the year for the Angels.

713
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 19: If Joe Adell continues to develop, that might not be

714
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 19: a stretch in twenty twenty six.

715
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: Fair make way for weekend wagers.

716
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 20: Yo, it's shabo, Fire up those bed naps, let's go.

717
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 12: Rough day at the office.

718
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 20: Last weekend went oh and two, dropped the season total

719
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,560

Speaker 20: Toronto Blue Jays between Freddie Barratz and Shane Bieber are under.

726
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,360
