Speaker 1: little insight on how it all went down with the

00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: Philly recruiting process that apparently didn't involve Philly's favorite Eric

8

Speaker 3: I had good conversations with those guys. Had a Zoom call.

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 3: I was actually on vacation.

13
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 2: I was on it. We had a family vacation down

00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: in the Keys and it's kind of my agent call.

15
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: He is like, hey, man, like this is kind of

16
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 3: picking up some steam, Like are you able to you know,

17
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: step away for a little.

18
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: Bit and get on the phone. I was like, yeah, sure.

19
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: So some jumped on the zoom call front office and

20
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: killed caught him and those guys, and you know, really

21
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: really liked what.

22
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 3: They had to say, and you know, some things that

23
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: were brought up pitching wise that I really enjoyed. And yeah,

24
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: next you know, I was on a flight headed a

25
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 3: Philly to get all my physicals done. So it was

26
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: great though now it was way more enjoyable process this

27
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 3: time than you know, years past.

28
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 4: How was that process different than other teams calling you know,

29
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 4: or did they all just did they all make the

30
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 4: same kind of pitch or was there no other pitch

31
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 4: in the Phillies just said boom, we're going right into it.

32
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

33
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: No, I think you know, everyone you know that called

34
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: me kind of had similar pitches. You know, a lot

35
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: of it.

36
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 3: You know, kind of made a big adjustments from starting

37
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: to relieving and you know, made a big you know,

38
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 3: bilo jump and some you know, mechanical things that a

39
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 3: lot of them were just kind of asking questions on

40
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: you know, the process that went into that thought process,

41
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: and you know how I felt like it did throughout

42
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: the season and so every every you know, organization that

43
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: I talked to kind of had similar questions and then

44
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: more of just like a recruiting pitch on you know,

45
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: where they stood in an organization where there's you know,

46
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 3: looking to go and things like that. So they were

47
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: all really good conversations. But you know, I think one

48
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: of the biggest things that you know, a true. My

49
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 3: decision was just last year I got a good taste

50
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: of winning, and I really haven't had a you know,

51
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: taste of winning in most of my career. So after

52
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 3: last year, it was like, you know, get the experience

53
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 3: of postseason and things like that. It's just, you know,

54
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: something that I s tried, I want to do every

55
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: single year, and I feel like the Phillies were a

56
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 3: really good opportunity for that.

57
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 6: Bron what changed for you?

58
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 7: You were a starter most of your career and then

59
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 7: in Chicago last year, I mean you blossomed.

60
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 6: Into an elite, elite reliever. What change?

61
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 7: What did you make a difference in your pitch type?

62
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 7: Did you change your arsenal? Did you change the delivery?

63
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 7: Did you change some grips?

64
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 6: What changed?

65
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 7: Because you were awesome for the cuts. As much as

66
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 7: it pays me to say.

67
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 3: That, thank you, you know, I think first and foremost

68
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: with just you know, getting healthy, coming off for thrascic

69
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: alegy syndrome, going through that, you know, down that path,

70
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: doing the surgery, all that fun stuff. Finally feeling healthy,

71
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: finally feeling one, having a full off season to not

72
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: have to worry about, you know, health, just going straight

73
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: into the season, We're focusing on some mechanical things that

74
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 3: you know, I felt, I felt was going to be better official,

75
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: and yeah, I mean I think there was a big change.

76
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: I honestly, I overhauled basically everything. You know, I kind

77
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: of I've always been really long armed, so kind of

78
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 3: shorten that up.

79
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: Be a little bit more deliberate, kind of using my legs.

80
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: A lot more, you know, as I feel like I'm

81
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: just like squatting to the mountain now instead of just

82
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: kind of drifting. And then you know, added a sweep

83
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 3: for last year that was really beneficial, really helped me

84
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: strike out a lot more guys than I have in

85
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: the past. So a little bit of everything, honestly. So

86
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: it's a completely overhaul of, you know, everything I've done

87
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: my own career.

88
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 4: So when you see a guy, when you see a

89
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 4: guy do what you did, all the things you just said,

90
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 4: you go to a new team on you know, a

91
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 4: nothing contract and get a massive contract the next year,

92
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 4: you really prove yourself.

93
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 6: Does it hurt at all that you've.

94
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 4: Seen a lot of Cubs or are the Cubs sign

95
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 4: a lot of relievers and you're like, wait a minute,

96
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 4: you guys had a front row seat to my resurgence

97
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 4: and the fact that I helped you guys win and

98
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: you're like, wait a minute, Like I thought you guys

99
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: really liked me, and does it put you on another

100
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 4: level then of being like, all right, well, the Cubs

101
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: aren't going to beat the Phillies this.

102
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: Year, you know, you know, I love my time there

103
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 3: that I you know, it credited them to everything this season,

104
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: you know, like I said, my first taste of postseason,

105
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 3: first taste of winning throughout the whole season. So I

106
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: have no bad letter it will against them at all.

107
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: I mean, it was probably by far my favorite, you

108
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: know season of playing baseball. You know, I tell everybody

109
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,600

Speaker 3: the guys in there, you know, support staff all the

111
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 3: way to the coaching staff, for the players. Everything was

112
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 3: you know, big league as it gets. So yeah, as

113
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 3: far as that, you know, I I loved it over there,

114
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: and like I have no ill will but just looking

115
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 3: forward to the opportunity with the with the Phillies. You know,

116
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: I've heard a lot of positive things over there as well,

117

119
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 3: So it was it was fun in Chicago. I had

120
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,120

Speaker 6: the name. He was a Phillies legend. He's a Phillies legend.

145
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 7: He said, eighty five percent of the world works, the

146
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,560

Speaker 6: I agree. I agree.

151
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 7: All right, let's let's get back to the now, the truth. Okay,

152
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 7: do you like starting or relieving better? Because you came

153
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 7: up and you were a starter first forever and now

154
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 7: you've had success as a reliever, which one do you

155
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 7: like better?

156
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 3: You know, That's kind of what I told teams this

157
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 3: ausus is like I liked relieving, but I absolutely loved

158
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 3: uh you know, or I like starting. I absolutely loved relieving, though,

159
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 3: Like there was nothing like the adrenaline spike that they

160
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 3: get whenever they you know, the phone rings and you're

161
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 3: coming in a tight situation. You're just kind of just clear,

162
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: clear mind, go out there and just here's my best stuff.

163
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 3: Like instead of sometimes you get caught up when you're

164
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 3: starting trying to like set pitches up and try to

165
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: do this, you kind of be a little bit more,

166
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 3: you know, a more methodical approach to pitching. I guess

167
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: first bull finishes here. It is Boom go after him.

168
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 3: You know, it was so much fun. And plus I

169
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 3: had a lot of good group, a group of guys

170
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: down there that I leaned heavy on, guys that have

171
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: been there, done that, pitching the biggest moments, and you know,

172
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 3: I asked them tons of questions and they helped me

173
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: out a ton. So they obviously made it a lot

174
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: of fun and kept the bullpen light.

175
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean, I love relieving. It was so fun.

176
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, your stuff played up.

177
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: It was great.

178
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: You know, we watched you all year just shove. Like

179
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: AJ mentioned, one of the best relievers in baseball this

180
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: past season. So if I take you back to the

181
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: later part of your KC days, do you wish that

182
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: you latched on with a role like this sooner? Did

183
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: you guys ever talk about this, because I'm sure there

184
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: was a point in those last few years with KC

185
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: where you like, my stuff's good, but you just weren't

186
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: getting the results that you wanted.

187
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we talked about it.

188
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: Actually, I think I got moved to the bullpen the

189
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 3: last month of the season in twenty two. I believe

190
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: that was but yeah, I mean I still felt like

191
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 3: I was able to start, and I still felt like

192
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 3: I was able to do. And then you know, I

193
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 3: still batt on some injuries stuff, and then even twenty three,

194
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: ultimately the Tos just put me out for the whole season.

195
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: But you know, I still feel like I'm capable of starting.

196
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: But like I said, after having a full taste, instead

197
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: of being on that line that we were kind of

198
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: teetering on when I was with the with the Royals

199
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: the last couple of years, there fully going into season

200
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 3: fully committing to the bullpen and being like, all right,

201
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: this is where I am. This where instead of like

202
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: coming constantly having that you know, doubt in the background,

203
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: minds like am I still going to start?

204
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: Or and what could I start? You know, it was

205
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: just fully committed to the bullpen.

206
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 3: I think that was just so much better mentally to

207
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: go out there and know, you know, this is where

208
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: I am, this is my position. Let's you know, let's

209
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 3: just go do it. So yeah, I mean we talked

210
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 3: about it a little bit. Like I said, I spent that

211
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 3: one month, but I didn't really do too well, I

212
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: don't think. But I did my beginning of my career

213
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,839
Speaker 3: when I when I you know, made the team in

214
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, My first two months were in the bullpen,

215
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: and that was at a time where I thought the

216
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 3: bullpen was my avenue to.

217
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 2: The big leagues.

218
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: And I threw really well doing that, and so I

219
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: feel like once I was like committed to it, and

220
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: kind of that's how I felt this, you're just like

221
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: fully committed a bull fan. I feel like I was

222
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: able to kind of just stay in that mentality, stay

223
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 3: in that mode of just like getting ready every day,

224
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: go out there and do your job.

225
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: How did you like your time in Kansas City? Because

226
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 4: sometimes everyone's like, well, that's the team you got first,

227
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 4: got called up with, you must love them. How did

228
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 4: you like your time when you were there?

229
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I really enjoyed it. You know, they gave

230
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: me the opportunity they you know, rule five pick. They

231
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 3: gave me a chance to to, you know, give my

232
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 3: first dast to the big leagues, and you know, they

233
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 3: got a couple opening day starts. There, got a lot

234
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 3: of starts on under my belt there. I really enjoyed it.

235
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 3: The city was great, the fans, they were great. The

236
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 3: only thing that I didn't love was that we weren't

237
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: really winning, and it just kind of felt like a

238
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 3: lot of turnover. While I was there, we had you know,

239
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: three managers, a couple of gms to two different owners.

240
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 3: So it's like a lot of turnover during my time there.

241
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 3: But the group of guys in the clubhouse are some

242
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: of my best friends to this day. Still talk to

243
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 3: them all and even in fancy football on the whole nine.

244
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: So I really enjoyed my time there. I liked it

245
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: a lot.

246
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: And like I said, they you know, my first steps

247
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: to the big leagues, and you know, after going to

248
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 3: a couple of different organizations, you really see the difference

249
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 3: from there to to other places.

250
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: And you know from my friends they are still there.

251
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 3: You know, they said a lot of a lot has

252
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 3: changed from there from my time left now.

253
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean I liked it.

254
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 3: I can't say it was great, especially you know, first

255
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: first get in the big leagues where you know you're

256
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: gonna fail a lot. It was like a it was

257
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 3: a perfect little, perfect spot to be all.

258
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 7: Right, do you have your walkout music ready? Because you've

259
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 7: you've seen durand in Philly right with the Durantelo's and

260
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 7: they got they do the whole thing and they get

261
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 7: the light show. Do you have a walkout Plan because

262
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 7: his is hard top. So when you first time you

263
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 7: run out of the bullpen at the bank, are they

264
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 7: going to have some Florida Gator music playing when you

265
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 7: break up through the bullpen or what?

266
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: No?

267
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I mean I I have no idea,

268
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: but Durand is by far the coolest entrance I've ever seen.

269
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 3: I've watched it for a while back when he was

270
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: at the Plans and then watch it, you know, this

271
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 3: year a couple of times. Just there's nothing beating that.

272
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 3: That's just one of the most electric things I've ever seen.

273
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 3: It'd be cool to, you know, maybe get a maybe

274
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 3: get a video one day. I think I had one

275
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 3: towards the end of the season last year with the

276
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 3: Cubs in the postseason. My parents filmed it one time.

277
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: It's the only reason I know. But now it's, uh,

278
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: that'd be cool. As of right now, I have nothing,

279
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 3: nothing that I'm just perfect.

280
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 7: You know why, because I say this all the time.

281
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 7: The setup guys they don't get an entrance. Only the

282
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 7: closer gets it. That was the perfect answer. Yes, thank you,

283
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 7: thank you for saying that. Because the people on the show,

284
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 7: Kratz and Scott Oh, we could, we should give the

285
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 7: fifth inning, long guy.

286
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 6: Entrance, like, no, it's the closer, it's the ninth inning. No, no, no,

287
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 6: no no.

288
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 7: So before we let you go, I have to ask

289
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 7: you this. I know you're from Georgia. You tweet a

290
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 7: lot about the Georgia Bulldogs. I'm sorry, Ole miss all

291
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 7: the way. Okay, sorry, I'm a Florida face.

292
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 6: You know, nice, nice job, Kirby with your bowl cut.

293
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,479
Speaker 7: But it's Kirby Smart going to leave for the Atlanta Falcons,

294
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 7: because that is the rumor. And when he does, well,

295
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 7: you Georgia fans ever, stop crying.

296
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: No, he's not leaving. He's forever solidified in Georgia history.

297
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 3: I mean he played there, he coached there, national champion there,

298
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 3: coaching wise, back to back. I mean, he's got it

299
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: made there. I mean it's it would be it would

300
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: put the stay of Georgia in to a full panic

301
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 3: if he left, because University of Georgia. I don't mean

302
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 3: this by any disrespect to Falcons fans, but University of

303
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 3: Georgia football runs Georgia right like Saturdays, Like that's what

304
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 3: that's the thing.

305
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 2: Everyone does.

306
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 3: Everyone has plans for you know, based around Georgia football games.

307
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: No one really plans around the Falcon games.

308
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, the Falcons are on and that Again

309
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 3: this is not no disrespect to them, but it's just

310
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 3: like Saturdays SEC football, Like that's that's the mecca for Saturdays,

311
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: you know, or for football if you will.

312
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, if he leaves the state of Georgia,

313
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 2: my burn up in flames.

314
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 7: The scale pan and I'm gonna call Arthur Boy. I

315

316
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 7: and get him out of there.

317
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 5: I want to see this.

318
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: Spoken like a true Florida fan right there.

319
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I got one for on everyone's favorite team, Team USA.

320
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: Did you get a call for the World Baseball Classic?

321
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: And if not, you should get a call, and would

322
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: you say, yes, I have.

323
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: Got a call.

324
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 3: We talked, you know, early on, but I haven't heard back.

325
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 3: It was kind of right around the time that I was,

326
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 3: you know, signing with the Phillies, and so I don't know.

327
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 3: I think it would be really cool. It would be

328
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 3: uh tough, just because it's my first ring training with

329
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: the Phillies and and it would be a situation where I,

330
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 3: you know, I would want to you know, be here

331
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 3: for the team that you know, I would be playing

332
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: with for the next two years. But definitely obviously a

333
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 3: huge honor to you know, represent America and and go

334
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: play in the Little baseball obviously a dream for a

335
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 3: lot of guys. So yeah, yeah, I mean I think

336
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 3: it would be a tough decision. I mean, I definitely,

337
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 3: like I said, wouldn't be honored. But it's kind of

338
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 3: tough because you know, I'm hoping to pitch really long

339
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 3: so the Phillies and into October this year, and so yeah.

340
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 2: It's I did get a phone call though, so I

341
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:14,760

Speaker 1: we'll find out. But they still have to fill out,

345
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: like hath their bullpen.

346
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 5: I'm looking at the rosters, so you.

394
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,720

Speaker 7: Because he's good because I do a lot of crazy things,

402
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,720

403
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:53,160

404
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 2: Well you've done that, but you do that the phone.

405
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, on the phone, totally on the phone, not like

406
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 7: actually on video driving and trying to look at the

407
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 7: camera and trying to drive, especially on if you're on

408
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 7: Itan out there in Phoenix, there's a good chance you

409
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 7: might get pulled over, watched out for the cameras, the

410
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 7: speed cameras and all that junk where they'll send the

Speaker 7: picture to your house.

412
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think they pull people over out here.

413
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,480

427
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 7: you guys had a great run there. But now you're

428
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 7: going to a team in Kansas City that's kind of

429
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 7: on the up and they have great younger players.

430
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 6: How excited are you to be a leader in this

431
00:17:58,600 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 6: bullpen for the Royals?

432
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 5: Yeah?

433
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 8: I mean I I I'm so excited to be back.

434
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 8: And just I mean, the biggest, the biggest thing for

435
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 8: me right now in my career is I want to win,

436
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 8: and uh, you know, I think I think this is

437
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 8: a young team with a lot of talent, and I

438
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 8: mean last year didn't and how they wanted it to.

439
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 5: Obviously very disappointed.

440
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 8: But when you mix that with some young guys that

441
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 8: that can that could turn into a dangerous recipe, and

442
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 8: you know, anything can happen, and I'm I'm excited to

443
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 8: see what what Kansas City can do.

444
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 4: You said you I thought you said at the end

445
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 4: when you're talking about the conversation with JJ Piccolo, he said,

446
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 4: I've butted heads everywhere I've went.

447
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 6: What do you mean you butted heads? What do you

448
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 6: mean like that?

449
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 4: Is that that?

450
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 5: Yeah?

451
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 8: I mean, I'll just say Kansas City Royals do an

452
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 8: unbelievable job of not only producing major league athletes, but

453
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 8: they produced men like that is something I was brought

454
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 8: up with Kansas City and Date Moore. His whole thing was,

455
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 8: we're gonna have good ball players, but we're gonna first

456
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 8: make sure you guys are good men. And uh, you know,

457
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 8: Kansas City kind of just has in my opinion, they

458
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 8: do they do it the right way.

459
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 5: You know.

460
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 8: Ten thirty ground balls mean Russy Coots was hitting that

461
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 8: funk go at ten thirty It wasn't ten thirty five

462
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 8: because we're waiting on Hosper. Osper was there five minutes early,

463
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 8: so you know, it's uh, it's I am a very

464
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 8: routine human being. I love structure, and structure doesn't work

465
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 8: unless there's discipline or someone enforcing the structure.

466
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 7: All right, So now let's go to the team you

467
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 7: just left. How do you feel like your time went

468
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 7: in Philly? And were you happy? I mean, they obviously

469
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 7: traded you away, which happens to all of us.

470
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 6: We get traded, we get moved. Is there anything maybe

471
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 6: you wish different happenings?

472
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 7: I mean, I know, besides winning a World Series, But

473
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 7: how do you how do you sew up your time

474
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 7: in Philadelphia as a Philly.

475
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 8: I mean, the best way to put it is it

476
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 8: was the best three years of my career. You know

477
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 8: it was again, I love this game. Yeah, money is awesome,

478
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 8: don't get me wrong, but winning is better. Like I

479
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 8: love winning, And that's the most winning I've done in

480
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 8: my career is in Philly. And it was fun to

481
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 8: do it in front of a packed house every night,

482
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 8: whether it be June Tuesday, in June or the playoffs

483
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 8: in October. You know, it was an exciting place to

484
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 8: show up and work every day. But yeah, I mean

485
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 8: obviously fell short of the goal. And again, it's business.

486
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 8: You can't control it. Now I'm gonna go try to

487
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 8: win one in Kansasity.

488
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 4: Talking about Philly again, Matt Gelb and other writers wrote

489
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 4: about how maybe you and Costianos had some butting aheads

490
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 4: with players or front office. How is that? How do

491
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 4: you take that and how is that perceived from a

492
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 4: player's standpoint when you're like, Wow, I really truly want

493
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 4: what you just said, win and go out there and

494
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 4: men being men?

495
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, first of all, I would like I mean,

496
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 8: I don't I'm unaware of any player I've ever bought

497
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 8: it ahead with there.

498
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 5: I mean, that's all.

499
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 8: I'm a middle reliever. I'm not going to be a

500
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 8: Hall of Famer. But the one thing I control is

501
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 8: being a good teammate. And I don't think there's one

502
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 8: guy in there that would say a bad thing about me.

503
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 8: But uh, you know, it's everything's business, and I'll call

504
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 8: a spade a spade, and in this business those guys

505
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 8: usually are like But at least I know I have

506
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 8: my job because I'm the guy for the job.

507
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 6: There you go, Okay, I respect that. Listen.

508
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 7: We all know, especially for me, we know how the

509
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 7: media can spin things and make things out of nothing.

510
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 6: So listen, I respect exactly what you just said. And listen.

511
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 6: The only people that truly know you are the people

512
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 6: inside your clubhouse.

513
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 7: And other than that, you know, people outside can say, oh, this,

514
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 7: and now we think this, we think that. Would they

515
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,479
Speaker 7: ain't in there every day, and they ain't in there

516
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 7: grinding with you every day, and they don't know what

517
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 7: you're about, then who cares.

518
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 6: What they say? That's kind of the way I look

519
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 6: at them.

520
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 5: So yep, exactly.

521
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: Hey, Matt, do you feel like, you know, like, what

522
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: was it like at the end just now with Philly

523
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 1: in the playoffs? Obviously you guys fell to a Dodgers

524
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: team that was really damn good. So was it disappointing

525
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: knowing that you had, you know, such a talented roster

526
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: and all of that, and obviously they're gonna try and

527
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: run it back again. But it did feel like, you know,

528
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: the window does close eventually when you have a number

529
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: of superstars like that.

530
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt.

531
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean last year, honestly, all three years they

532
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 8: had felt the same, like you just were so talented.

533
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 5: We came up short. We didn't do the end goal.

534
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 4: Uh.

535
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 8: I still think the one that hurts me the most

536
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 8: still is the NLCS against the Diamondbacks. That was just

537
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 8: I mean, I still have a sour taste in my

538
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 8: mouth about that one.

539
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 5: So uh yeah, I don't. I mean, losing sucks.

540
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 8: Winning's good and if there's only one that gets to

541
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 8: win at the end.

542
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 4: So all right, Scott Broun, We're not gonna show him

543
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 4: because it's just gonna be me and you on the screen.

544
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 4: He's got huge biceps, so don't be intimidated by him.

545
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 4: But he called the Phillies a regular season team. Is

546
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 4: there any credence to that? Is there anything you're on

547
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 4: that team? I try, we try to explain to Scott. Look,

548
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 4: you go out, you play the game. Yes, the results

549
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 4: in the postseason doom hatter. But is there such a

550
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 4: thing as a regular season team? And where the Phillies

551
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 4: a regular season team?

552
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 5: I don't.

553
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 8: I mean, we all know playoff baseball like it you

554
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 8: run into a rocket. They could have been the I

555
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 8: mean that was the Phillies in twenty two. They were

556
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,719
Speaker 8: the worst worst team in the playoffs and next thing

557
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 8: you know, they're a Game seven of the World Series.

558
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 8: It's like, so the playoffs, the playoffs is an animal

559
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 8: you can't control.

560
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 5: So I mean can't.

561
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 8: We're all regular season teams, like, all thirty of them.

562
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 7: People don't understand how hard it is just to make

563
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 7: the postseasons. So let's also not let's not forget about that.

564
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,479
Speaker 7: How hard just to make the postseason in baseball, it's

565
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 7: a lot harder than any other sports, So let's not

566
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 7: forget about that. And then you're facing the best and

567
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,719
Speaker 7: then you're facing the best pitchers, the best teams, and

568
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 7: there's no let there's no game off. Right, So it's

569
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 7: it's very hard to win a World Series. It's extremely

570
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 7: hard to win a World Series, no matter how good

571
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 7: your team is. Right, So that that's why, you know whatever,

572
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 7: don't just don't listen to Scott Scott, just ignore.

573
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: He's got nothing to do with Matt Strom. I'm just

574
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: saying that the Phillies offense was dynamic in the in

575
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: the regular season, and they obviously you're not going to

576
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: score as much in the playoffs, but they some of

577
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: the the superstar set at themselves, some of them on

578
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: the Phillies. So Matt I did two hours on a

579
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: talk show every day. You know, you've done media and

580
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: all of that. I'm like, Hey, the guys themselves, Schwarber

581
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: and others would say themselves, hey, we.

582
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 6: Got to do more.

583
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: They said it every year after those losses.

584
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean the media set, it was a

585
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 5: picture's full, you know.

586
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 6: That media not me, not me.

587
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 7: He'd come back, great, comeback. All right, let's move on.

588
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 7: Let's move on from the Phillies. You're no longer a Philly.

589
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 7: You had a great time in Philly, cool all that stuff.

590
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 7: You haven't had to cut your hair in Kansas City.

591
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 7: You clearly grown your beard out, which is also awesome.

592
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 7: But you're a big card collector. How many autographs are

593
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 7: you gonna ask Bobby Witz Junior for as soon as

594
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 7: you walk it? Are you just gonna walk in with

595
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 7: like a stack of cards like this and say, Bobby teammate, dues, dude,

596
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 7: just start signing.

597
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 8: Bro Well, so I know Bobby is a big card

598
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 8: collector himself too, and I in the owner of one

599
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 8: of his rarest rookie audit drafts. So there's gonna be

600
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 8: a stack of cards he'll have to sign if he's

601
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 8: thinking he's gonna get that in the trade.

602
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 5: So so we'll see.

603
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 4: Oh I like that because that that brings me to

604
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 4: my question. Is there like a hierarchy in the card land?

605
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 4: When you look at a guy like Bobby Witting you

606
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 4: and everybody knows what his contract is, it's it's big

607
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 4: nine figures and you both are card efficionados.

608
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 6: Do you look at him?

609
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: Go?

610
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 4: Man, bro If I had that kind of money, I'd

611
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 4: be buying all the kinds of stuff like I don't

612
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 4: have the coolest stuff, Like is there that in the

613
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 4: card in the card land?

614
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 5: I'm sure there is. For some me.

615
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 8: As a card collector, I'm a huge I call myself

616
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 8: a pack rat.

617
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 5: I enjoy the chase.

618
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 8: I mean like some guys enjoy scratch off lottery tickets

619
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 8: and just the adrenaline Russ's scratching. I like opening packs

620
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 8: and whatever I open is what I collect.

621
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 5: I'm not. I'm not like a guy that is like, oh,

622
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 5: I need the.

623
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 8: Rookie Michael Jordan card, so I'm gonna go buy it

624
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 8: a PSA ten. I might find a pack of eighty

625
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 8: six and open it up and see if I can

626
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 8: hit his rookie card, but I'm more of a pack rat.

627
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 8: I enjoy it, enjoy the chase. But there's definitely some

628
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 8: people that are like, yeah, oh, if I had your money,

629
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 8: I'd buy a whole case of cards. And it's like, well,

630
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 8: it's financially not smart. It's like the way I collect. Yeah,

631
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 8: the way I collect is shoot myself in the foot

632
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,439
Speaker 8: for sure, Like I'm not making money on what I spend,

633
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 8: but it's uh, it's just a fun little adrenaline rush

634
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 8: for me.

635
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 5: I guess I don't gamble.

636
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 6: I don't.

637
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 5: I don't do do that. That is my gambling baseball cards.

638
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 7: I just say most some people would say that's gambling.

639
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 7: So then that leads me to the next thing. Do

640
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 7: you like where card collecting has gone? Because it used

641
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 7: to be you can buy a pack for fifty cents

642
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 7: or quarter and you get the little piece of bad

643
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 7: bubble gum that tasted for about three choos and then

644
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 7: you had to throw it out because you can break

645
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 7: your teeth off, right, But now it's thirty bucks for

646
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 7: pack or three hundred bucks for a box or wherever

647
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 7: it is.

648
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 6: Are you okay with that?

649
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 8: It's it's getting crazy. I mean when I first got

650
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 8: back into it in like twenty eighteen, you could buy

651
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 8: a box of tops chrome for one hundred and twenty

652
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 8: nine bucks, and now I think they're two fifty. So

653
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 8: it's it's getting expensive becoming a I don't know, it's

654
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 8: like golf, a rich man's sport, I guess, but it's uh, yeah,

655
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 8: I'm not I wouldn't say. The traditionalist in me would say, no,

656
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 8: I'm not a fan in the direction it's going.

657
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm gonna do my my classic question. I've been

658
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: asking dudes, especially from the US, have you gotten a

659
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: phone call about Team USA? Because you should get one.

660
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: They only have a few relievers right now.

661
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 5: I haven't.

662
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, if you do get a phone call, are

663
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: you in.

664
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 5: I mean it's USA, who wouldn't be.

665
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's why I figure.

666
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean they've they've got a lot of the position

667
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: players obviously, you know a lot of that's figured out,

668
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: and even actually for the first time, you're seeing some

669
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: you know more number one number two starters join the

670
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: fold here.

671
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 6: So what do you think about that?

672
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: Do you think there's any reason for the change there?

673
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: I know it's been like a hotly debated topic for

674
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: the past probably decade at this point, like how does

675
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: Team USA get their starters that are, you know, superstars

676
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: onto the roster.

677
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 8: I mean, I think the reason I think it goes

678
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 8: back to AJSA and how hard it is to make

679
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 8: the playoffs and we see these the atmosphere of the WBC,

680
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 8: and we've seen what the playoffs have been the last

681
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 8: few years, and I think guys are hungry for that

682
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 8: adrenaline rush and that that atmosphere. So I think it's uh,

683
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 8: I think that's what's kind of taking them out of

684
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 8: the woodworks here to I don't know, kind of turned

685
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 8: the cheek to the owners.

686
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 5: I'm sure the owners aren't happy when.

687
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 8: We're playing this, but it's uh, it's an experience of

688
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 8: a lifetime.

689
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 6: If you ask me, agreed, agreed all right?

690
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 7: On your hat you can't really see it. It says

691
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 7: lank archery, which is I'm assuming what lancaster archery?

692
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,280

696
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,800

00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 7: now he's back home and now he's all into hunting.

718
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 7: I could never get him to go with me. So

719
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 7: now he's like, Dad, I want to. I want to

720
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 7: learn how to shoot a bow. He's like, is it hard,

721
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 7: and I'm like, it's really not hard. You just got

722
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 7: to practice. He's like, well, can you get me a bow?

723
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 7: And I'm like, no, you have to go and get

724
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 7: measured and you have to do all these things. You

725
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 7: have to measure your draw they have to get your arrows,

726
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 7: the right link, all this and he's like, oh, that

727
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,479
Speaker 7: seems like a lot of work, and I'm like, oh,

728
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 7: it's not.

729
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 6: You just have to find like an hour to go to.

730
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 7: Somewhere and did all do all the specifics and then

731
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 7: once you get it, you can make the bow however

732
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 7: you want, the arrows, everything. And it's kind of cool

733
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 7: because you get to you get to you know, access

734
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,400
