There's 33 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: the opportunity to make some creative deals.

So I actually live 130 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: in like a little trailer during the season, and right 131 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 3: outside we had a little backyard where I could set 132 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 3: everything up, had my own little batter's box, and you know, 133 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 3: I could throw and do all that type of stuff, 134 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 3: doing the home workouts, trying to find medicine balls or 135 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: whatever I could find, you know, because obviously at the 136 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 3: stores everything was going out of you know, out of stock, 137 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 3: all the weights and all that different type of stuff. 138 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 3: But found a couple of jump ropes, found you know, 139 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: some weighted best type of things, and just you know, 140 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 3: did what I could to try and stay ready, to 141 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 3: keep the legs loose and just in case I got 142 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 3: the call. 143 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 2: And then from there I ended up. 144 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 3: Not getting the call obviously to the sixty men or anything. 145 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 3: So from there I went back to California and I 146 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 3: started training with my brothers. I got two younger brothers 147 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 3: at both at Santa Clara University, So it was nice. 148 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: We're all kind. 149 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 3: Of trying to find our way back into playing shape 150 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 3: and everything, and my dad back home was thrown to 151 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 3: us every day and doing stuff like that. So I 152 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: was definitely one of the lucky ones having a place 153 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 3: to work out and try to take advantage of that 154 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 3: as much as I could. 155 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, Bryce and Eli mentioned that you've already been in 156 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 4: the system for three years now, and it really does 157 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 4: kind of feel like yesterday that you were traded to 158 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 4: the Marlins and the Maben Trades. So just what do 159 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 4: you think, from your perspective, has been the biggest growth 160 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 4: for you since you've gotten to this organization, either personally 161 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 4: or on the field, and then just how much did 162 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 4: twenty twenty help with that. 163 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: It's tough to say exactly what's been like the main factor. 164 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 3: It was really just trying to find a way to 165 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 3: continue to keep keep trying to get better. That was 166 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 3: all I really wanted to do throughout my career. I've 167 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 3: kind of seen it as you know, each level I'm 168 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 3: going to have to go and try. 169 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: And get better. 170 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 3: I'm not really going to be able to skip levels 171 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 3: or do that type of stuff. So for me, it 172 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 3: was how can I get consistent and how can I 173 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 3: be a guy who just you know, just out there 174 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: and kind of a gamer type player. I just want 175 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 3: to go out there and try and try and win. 176 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 3: So that was really it for me, was one, how 177 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 3: can I find one thing consistently with my hitting that 178 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 3: I can do. So I've kind of found that now 179 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 3: to where I can you know, lock in on it 180 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 3: and work on that one thing. And then also just 181 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 3: being out there and trying to stay confident on in 182 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 3: all those things that I'm doing as opposed to letting 183 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 3: you know, results start to Oh if I'm you know, 184 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 3: not doing so well, then I start changing things up 185 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 3: or oh this this type of thing happened. So really 186 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 3: just trying to stay consistent, trying to stay with the 187 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 3: process really and I think that's kind of helped me 188 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 3: in the long run, just to you know, kind of 189 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 3: weather the storm or the. 190 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 2: Ups and downs, and. 191 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 3: You know, having a good start here has definitely kind 192 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 3: of reinforced that and allowed me to continue to keep 193 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 3: working on that. 194 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: So, yeah, as we're talking with Pryson right now, hitting 195 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: three seventeen this year already matched your career high with 196 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: three home runs as we're only like a third of 197 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: the way through the Triple A season, but that's it 198 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: was a pretty early test of exactly, you know, being 199 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: consistent with the one thing you're doing at the play 200 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: the first few weeks of this season in May, the 201 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: results weren't exactly there. So I'm curious if there was ever, 202 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: like any temptation from you at the start of this season, 203 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: even though the results look great now because how you've 204 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: been doing the last few weeks, the way that it 205 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: opened up without getting those results was to that test 206 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: you a little bit and staying committed to, you know, 207 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: what you really believe is the best way to approach 208 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: things in the box. 209 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there's always minor adjustments that you're going 210 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 3: to make. You know, no one's gonna be always perfect 211 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 3: one hundred percent. But I you know, I knew coming 212 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 3: into this year after not playing for a year and 213 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 3: a half, that was one of the things I was 214 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 3: trying to give myself was, Hey, don't don't worry about 215 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 3: the results. 216 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 2: You've been sitting on the couch for. 217 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 3: And a half, you know, and you're playing these guys 218 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 3: who are you know, some are big leaguers, you know, 219 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 3: up and down. 220 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 2: A lot of them are up and down big leaguers. 221 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: A lot of these guys in the league have been 222 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 3: playing at alternate site, They've been playing at bleak Camp, 223 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 3: They've been doing all those types of things, And so 224 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: for me, it's like, hey man, you're're getting thrown into 225 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 3: the fire here a little bit. You know, just go 226 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 3: out there and try and compete. And yeah, I did 227 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 3: start super super hot. You know, tough to get into 228 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 3: a rhythm when you're not really playing every day or 229 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 3: you know, every fourth day, and then you're kind of 230 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 3: coming off the bench and someone gets hurt and all 231 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 3: of a sudden you're thrown into the game. And after 232 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 3: a year and a half it can be a little 233 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 3: bit tough to really find your footing with that. But 234 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 3: now that I've gotten a few more reps and you know, 235 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: kind of more into the flow and rhythm of it, 236 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 3: I feel like that's kind of helped me out. So 237 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 3: that was the main thing, was just giving myself a 238 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 3: little bit of credit in the beginning and saying, hey, 239 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 3: you know what, take it easy getting played for you know, 240 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 3: a year and a half go ahead, and you know, 241 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 3: not focus focus too much on the results and try 242 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 3: to keep grinding it out here, and I think that 243 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:12,839 Speaker 3: mindset's kind of carried. 244 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: Me through so far. 245 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 4: Right, So you've hit it pretty much every level. I mean, 246 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 4: I'm looking at your numbers right now and they've been 247 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 4: really solid across all levels. But this year you've kind 248 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 4: of taken it to a different level and your power 249 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 4: is what's really kind of opened up for you. So 250 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 4: is that just been an adjustment? Did you get stronger 251 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 4: during twenty twenty? Like, what do you see as the 252 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 4: biggest adjustment you made that has tapped into whatever you 253 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 4: found this year? 254 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 3: Definitely during the twenty twenty break and everything, I just 255 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 3: really wanted to work as hard as I could. I 256 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 3: wanted to kindly leave no stone on turned type thing. 257 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 3: So for me, I did end up putting on about 258 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 3: about ten pounds. I was about twente eighty five, came 259 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 3: in to spring at about one ninety ninety seven in Ish, 260 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 3: but I wanted to just you know, maximize the mess 261 00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 3: as I could. I knew I was turning in twenty five, 262 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 3: so at that point it was like, hey, let's go 263 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 3: ahead and empty the tank here and see we can get. 264 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 2: Out of it. 265 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 3: And I don't know if there's you know still more, 266 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 3: I don't know what the perfect ideal weight is for me. 267 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 3: I don't know if that's you know, part of the 268 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 3: part of the situation. But I just tried to put 269 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 3: myself in game situations as well. You know, my dad 270 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 3: would we kind of have like a shorter cage. My 271 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 3: dad would be in there and he's throwing hooks, and 272 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: you know, he's trying to like really kind of expose 273 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 3: those different things in my swing, and I think that's 274 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 3: kind of carried over a little bit. 275 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 2: But from the power aspect, I mean, maybe it's putting 276 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: on a little bit of weight. 277 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 3: Or maybe it's just making you know, good contact and 278 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 3: you know, the more you you square balls up, you know, 279 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 3: the better chance you have for something to fly into 280 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:44,719 Speaker 3: the gap or you. 281 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 2: Know, over the fence. 282 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 3: So I'm not really sure one hundred percent what it 283 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 3: would be for you know, that power aspect, But that's 284 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 3: just kind of the things I was keying on and 285 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 3: definitely putting in the work too, you know, and get there. 286 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, how would you describe the difference in competition level 287 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 1: between double A and triple A, because you've got a 288 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: lot of reps at double A in twenty nineteen, twenty 289 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: eighteen and twenty nineteen, as you mentioned, a ton of 290 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: guys with major league experience. Now with Triple A, like 291 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: half your teammates have some major league experience and that 292 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: in the same way with the competition. Do you actually 293 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: feel it's more difficult though? Is it just is it 294 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: more difficult or the guys just older. 295 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an interesting thing. 296 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 3: I mean you could say maybe it's not more difficult 297 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: because I'm I'm doing well at the time, you know 298 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I'm sure I was sitting like to 299 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 3: you know whatever, I was really struggling. Then I would 300 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 3: be like, oh man, this is this is a lot tougher. 301 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 3: So it's kind of hard to tell. I don't really 302 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 3: like to look I spased. I'm okay, you know, they 303 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 3: have this amount of major league experience because now I'm 304 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 3: going up there thinking like, oh maybe I should he 305 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 3: should get me out or something like that. You know, 306 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 3: So I just try and take each guy's nameless and faceless. 307 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 3: I mean, I know their names, and I you know, 308 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 3: I know what they have and stuff like that. But 309 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 3: I just try and prepare the same way for every 310 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 3: and just kind of go up there and you know, 311 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 3: compete as best as I can. Whether I was in 312 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 3: Double A or Triple I'd be trying to do the 313 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 3: same thing. So it's tough for me to tell, really 314 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 3: if it's that big of a jump. But the guys 315 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 3: definitely can execute pitches up here. They're definitely attacking you 316 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 3: a certain way. They're not just throwing their best two pitches. 317 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 3: They're really kind of schools that you may have in 318 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 3: your swing and they take advantage of it. 319 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: So that's the one thing that's been tough to get about. 320 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 3: One maybe two opportunities per at bad and you've got 321 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 3: to try and put that ball in play, can't miss 322 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 3: that fastball. 323 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 2: If not, they're. 324 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 3: Really good at kind of chipping at the corners and 325 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 3: getting you out with their best pitch type things. 326 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 2: So I'd say that main difference. 327 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 3: You really have to take advantage of that one to 328 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 3: two pitches that you get or else you're gonna get 329 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 3: in trouble. 330 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 2: I feel like in Double A you might have a 331 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 2: couple more because guys will. 332 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 3: Kind of just come at you with their with their stuff, 333 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 3: and Triple A you kind of you know they want 334 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 3: to get the big league, so they're definitely working for 335 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 3: their numbers, trying to get corners, trying to do that 336 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 3: type of stuff as opposed to maybe just coming at 337 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 3: you there with the best stuff. So it's tough to say, really, 338 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 3: but I mean it's definitely each ll go up. You 339 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 3: know you're gonna find guys who are more consistent and 340 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 3: better at what they're trying to do up there. 341 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 5: It's back at second, the two line drive, well, hit 342 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 5: down the right field line, this tailing towards the corner, 343 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 5: and this ball is up and off the wall border 344 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 5: round thorn Hill come in to score. Brigman flying around 345 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 5: Second slams on the brakes with an RBI double and Jacksonville. 346 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 2: Increases their lead. 347 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 5: It's three to one here in the eighth inning. 348 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, Bryson. Obviously, this season in so many ways is different, 349 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 4: as have you know, has been the last year and 350 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 4: a half. But this this minor league set up, the 351 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 4: way that things are going with the six days on 352 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 4: one day off. You know, the minor league season is 353 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 4: already a grind, and it's a shorter year this year. 354 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 4: But what what what has the grind been like this year? 355 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 4: And do you kind of prefer this setup where you 356 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 4: get a built in off day to every week no 357 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 4: matter how it goes, and then you're playing you know, 358 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 4: one week at home, one week on the road. 359 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't mind it. 360 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 3: It is a little bit tough or it feels a 361 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 3: little bit long on some of the two series road trips, so. 362 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 2: Like when you have the twelve games. 363 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 3: But I mean that's just kind of like any other season, 364 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 3: we'd have longer road trips, you know, we'd have ten 365 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 3: days or something like that. So I will say I 366 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 3: do like having the Monday off. I feel like it 367 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: kind of gives everybody that extra rest day that we 368 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 3: wouldn't really get. 369 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 2: But it's a little different playing the team six times 370 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 2: in a row. 371 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 3: You start to see some of the same hereers and 372 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,479 Speaker 3: they start to attack different ways mid series as opposed 373 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 3: to like series to series, So that part of it 374 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 3: is a little bit a little bit different, kind of 375 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 3: tough to figure out. 376 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 2: But it goes vice versa because you know, if I 377 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,719 Speaker 2: see that picture multiple times, then I see them game one, 378 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 2: and then I see him again in game four, game five, 379 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 2: you know, I have that information and like you can 380 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,880 Speaker 2: kind of take advantage of that as well. So from 381 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 2: the playing standpoint, like the strategy standpoint, I like it. 382 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 2: I think it gives you a chance to really game 383 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 2: plan and try and see how guys are adjusting to you, 384 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 2: and then try and adjust back. And then from the 385 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: physical standpoint, I think it's nice. 386 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 3: To have the day off, just let the body kind 387 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 3: of rest and you know, kind of get reset for 388 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 3: the next series. 389 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 1: We're talking with bryceon Brigman here on the podcast, having 390 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: a great season with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. I want 391 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 1: to switch to the defensive side of the ball. A 392 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: bunch of different directions we could go here. I mean, 393 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: the obvious one is that you're still the one thousand 394 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 1: fielding percentage and having committed an error all year, even 395 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: while playing three different positions, And I thought that was 396 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: really notable. And then I like, look back on your 397 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: career and you've done this before. You've had like a 398 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: few of these streaks that go on really long without 399 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: committing an error. Does that ever come into your mind? 400 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: Do you ever are you aware of when you're on 401 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: one of those kind of streaks, because I think you 402 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: had one in twenty seventeen, you probably had one in 403 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen that was kind of like this that goes 404 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: over a month and a half two months. Does that 405 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 1: ever enter your thinking? 406 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 4: Uh? 407 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 1: Is there a such thing as like being hot on 408 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: defense the same way that you are in the plate. 409 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: Is there ever a time where you feel especially locked 410 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: in on that side of the ball. 411 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 2: Kind of tough to tell. 412 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 3: I mean, the way that I take, or at least 413 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 3: how I approach defense is it's really like my chance 414 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 3: to help my team, because there's times where like, hey, 415 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 3: you may not be doing it at all at the plate, 416 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 3: or you know, you may be struggling. But that's a 417 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 3: nice thing about being position players. You can kind of 418 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 3: play both sides of the ball, so you can still 419 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 3: go out and help your team. 420 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,919 Speaker 2: So I mean, I try not to think about that 421 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: type of stuff. I mean, I'll know if. 422 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, on a streak of not doing 423 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 3: you know, not making errors or whatever, and I don't, 424 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 3: you know, I try not to think about it because 425 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 3: I feel like I don't want to jinx myself or 426 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 3: whatever superstition you know, baseball players will will put on that. 427 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 3: But it's more for me just trying to you know, 428 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 3: go out there and stay locked into the moment and 429 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: trying to help my picture up there. And you know, 430 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 3: everyone's you know, no one's gonna go a thousand for 431 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 3: the whole year. Maybe maybe I will, I don't know, 432 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 3: but I'm just gonna take take it day by day 433 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 3: and just try to, you know, try and help my 434 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 3: team out there i can. 435 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 2: And you know, when you do make. 436 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 3: That error, hey, you know, get it back to the 437 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 3: picture and let's go get the next one. Just kind 438 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 3: of the way I look at it, and it's just 439 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 3: kind of a product of, you know, just trying to 440 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 3: go out there and compete. Really yeah, I can't really say. 441 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's oh, I'm hot on defense 442 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 3: or if it's uh, you know, it's tough to say, 443 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 3: but it's out there really right. 444 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: Well, you're making all the routine stuff. But on the 445 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: other side of the equation, I do a decent job 446 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: like pulling highlights from certain games. Is there is there 447 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: any one play or a couple that you could think 448 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: of so far this year that you really impressed yourself, 449 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: Either it was super athletic or just really heads up 450 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: play that you think kind of encapsulates who you are 451 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: as a fielder. 452 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 3: The one that stands out to me is I was 453 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 3: playing second. I think it was might've been. 454 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 2: The first or second series. I think it was at home. 455 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 2: We're playing against Durham Dalton. 456 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 3: Kelly had a kind of like a hard ground ball 457 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 3: pitch mine dried, which is a hard ground ball kind 458 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 3: of like up the middle, dove up the middle, and 459 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 3: I kind of got to it, Like when it hit 460 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 3: my glove, I was like, oh, I actually got to it, 461 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 3: Like I didn't think I would quite Like it just 462 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 3: felt weird not being out there and like sliding for 463 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 3: the first time, you know what I mean, like or 464 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 3: actually diving for a ball and like you know, routines 465 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 3: or routines, but actually diving you never really know exactly 466 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 3: what you're going to get. 467 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 2: So when I felt it like hit the glove, I 468 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 2: was like, oh wow, that was actually. 469 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 3: It was actually nice and got up and threw them 470 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 3: out and I was like, Okay, maybe I can still 471 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 3: do this, you know what I mean, maybe after a 472 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 3: year and a half, I can still you know, come 473 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 3: out here and compete. It just kind of like a 474 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 3: little confidence booster. But I was like making those type 475 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 3: of plays more for the pitchers, just because I know 476 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 3: how hard they're working and how hard it is to 477 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 3: get hitters out up here. So when I can take 478 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 3: one away from a guy, or try and keep the 479 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 3: enny rolling and keep the momentum on our side. 480 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 6: Chris don I went to his wind up the pitch round, 481 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,359 Speaker 6: Paul hit towards second diving stop too is right. Brigman 482 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 6: gets up edge of the outfield grass close to first 483 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 6: pour the out What a play, and Bryce and Brickman 484 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 6: and a sharp crown Moll that was right all out 485 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,719 Speaker 6: dive onto the outfield grass making the throw on the 486 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 6: first base and there's one away in the top of 487 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 6: the fifth inning with there Mahan two to nothing. 488 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 5: And he was playing to pull, had to range far 489 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 5: up the middle. Had he been playing where a normal 490 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 5: second basement without the shift on would have been, might 491 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 5: have been a bit of an easier play, but he 492 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 5: was able to get their full extension and then get 493 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,479 Speaker 5: to his feet and fire back across his body. 494 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 3: Other than that, I'd probably have to think about it 495 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 3: for a little bit. But yeah, maybe a couple of 496 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 3: plays that's short, maybe a backhand or two or something, 497 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 3: and on a hard day ground ball, but yeah, that's 498 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 3: kind of what sticks out. 499 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: Well. 500 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 4: If you end up making an error in the next 501 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 4: week or so, you know, to blame Eli for the 502 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 4: Jinx on that one.

Your chance is coming. 675 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 4: So how hard is it to stay patient and stay 676 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 4: focused on what you have to do at Triple A? 677 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 2: To be honest, I mean it's it's a little bit. 678 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 3: I mean, obviously, when you're doing well and things are 679 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 3: going on, you know, you hear stuff. But for me, 680 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: it's not really that hard, just because I came into 681 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 3: this year just really wanting to get back into it 682 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 3: and want to get better every day. And I've kind 683 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 3: of taken that same mindset. So although you know I 684 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 3: am doing well and everything, I've never really looked at 685 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 3: it and been like Okay, yeah, you earned you deserve 686 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 3: the up there. That's not really how I look at it. 687 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 3: For me, I'm just trying to get better and i've's 688 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 3: going to go through stints of ups and downs, and 689 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 3: how consistent can I be when I get into a funk, 690 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 3: when I get into a little funk, how quick can 691 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 3: I bounce back and get. 692 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 2: Back up there? And competing out a way where I 693 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:28,880 Speaker 2: can help my team every day. 694 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 3: So while I I'm close, you know, I'm definitely still 695 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 3: working to earn it every day. I'm not walking in 696 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 3: there thinking, oh man, I should be you know, I 697 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 3: should be in Miami. 698 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 2: Why am I here? 699 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 3: That's that's not at all been my mindset because you know, 700 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 3: it's only been it's only been a half two months, 701 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 3: you know, at the end of the day. So I'm 702 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 3: just gonna keep doing what I do, keep trying to 703 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 3: get better, like I said, and I'm kind of just 704 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 3: big on controlling what I can control and rolling with 705 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 3: that the day. That's really all you can do. 706 00:30:58,560 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 2: You know. 707 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 4: You talk about how you're justocus on getting better, having fun, 708 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 4: that kind of thing. Do you feel like because with me, 709 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,880 Speaker 4: the pandemic in the middle of it, I'm like, I'll 710 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 4: never take going to a Marlin game for granted, going 711 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 4: to this for granted again, So you feel like you're 712 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 4: having more fun than ever after taking that year off 713 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 4: and having what you love taking from you, and now 714 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 4: you're getting back out there and doing it again, do 715 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 4: you have a greater appreciation and enjoyment for the game 716 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 4: than you've had before. 717 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a perfect example.
