1
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Shane Smith, right hander for the Chicago White Sox, made

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: his April Era his debut rather on April first. April

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: Fool's Day wasn't a joke, though, Good to have you

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: with us on the show. Not only did he make

00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,239

Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Tell me about the All Star year.

9
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,560

00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: how do you improve upon that next season?

11
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, guys, thanks for having me. Yeah, this year

12
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 2: was full of you know, a lot of new for me.

13
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: And you know, the first, you know, a couple of starts,

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: you're bewildered and just trying to do your best. Then

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: you start to learn, like you know, you're talking to

16
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 2: guys learning out you know, what could I do here?

17
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 2: What could I do there? And then you know, you're

18
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: just trying to grow. You're just trying to be you know,

19
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: soak up as much information as possible. And I think

20
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: that goes into the off season of you know, what.

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: Did I struggle with this year? What did I do

22
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: well with?

23
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: And you know, try and keep it simple as possible,

24
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 2: but also you make sure you're making strides that prepare

25
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 2: you for the next year. Hey, before we get into

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: your year in the White Sox and everything, I got

27
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: to start back from when you're in high school, you

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: went to some place called the Governor's Academy, a boarding school.

29
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 4: Can you explain what the heck that is? Because that

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 4: sounds like some fancy schmancy place Alano would go like

31
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 4: she was an he I mean some of us went

32
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 4: to public high school, you know, and then some of you,

33
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 4: you other people, the richer people from up north in

34
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: the Northeast, we go to the Governor's Academy. What the

35
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 4: heck is that?

36
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I would not put myself in the richie

37
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: rich category.

38
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 4: But I mean I didn't go to boarding school. I

39
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 4: don't know to boarding school.

40
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 3: They got financial ad for a reason.

41
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: Oh, but uh, it's it's so basically you can be

42
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: a day student or you can live there. I lived

43
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: about thirty minutes from the school, and it's a preparatory

44
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: school for college, so I moved in there at fourteen

45
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: my freshman year. There's about four hundred and fifty kids

46
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: in the school total, so the grades are pretty small,

47
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 2: and I lived with you know, eighteen freshmen in my dorm,

48
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 2: and uh then your sophomore year, junior and senior year

49
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: you live in like a bigger you know, it's not

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: college or still. You know, the faculty kind of live

51
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 2: within you, and it's a you know, it's a pretty

52
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: tight knit community. But I yeah, I enjoyed my time,

53
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: and I know it's a it's a foreign concept to

54
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 2: pretty much everybody outside of the Northeast.

55
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, what was that movie? What was the movie where

56
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 4: they had like that, did you have the Secret Society

57
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 4: and the Poet Society? Yeah, dead pot. But then there

58
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 4: was the other one's Skulls where they had like the

59
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 4: secret Society where they had to know the past code

60
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 4: and then they did all these crazy things that they.

61
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 3: Like, that's Yale. That's Yale. That's a sorry, we're not there.

62
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: No, okay, all right, all right, that's fair. That's fair.

63
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 5: Okay of Pepper High School down in down in Orlando,

64
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 5: doctor Pepper High School.

65
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 4: The record, I.

66
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: Went to public school. I went to public school, okay,

67
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: and I went to a public university. So stop at aj.

68
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 4: All right, now, Shane, how does somebody from the governor

69
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 4: the Gobnor School, Gobnor, I parlay, I parlay end up

70
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 4: at wake Forest. How do you end up like? Does

71
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: Does Tom Walters go up there and just look for

72
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 4: people from the Northeast and bring him down because he

73
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 4: has a lot of the Northeast connections.

74
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think he looks for the Northeast.

75
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 2: I think he looks for the type of player that

76
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: you know, when you're not playing baseball year round and

77
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: you're you know, playing multiple sports, and you know, when

78
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: you get into baseball season, that's your passion. They started

79
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: recruiting me my sophomore year roughly, and I committed later

80
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: that summer. But they had some family connections with Tom

81
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: Walter and and and he gave us a look at

82
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: the school and I fell in love with it pretty quickly.

83
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: It's a smaller private scheating. It's the smallest Power five

84
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: or Power four now, so it was similar to my

85
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 2: high school. But you know, everything else stood up. You know,

86
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: their facilities are incredible campus, isn't those?

87
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 4: I love those private you know, small, I mean, gosh,

88
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 4: it must be nice. Anyways, continue man.

89
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: He's never going to come back on the show.

90
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: We see him alone. I love it. I'm jealous. I

91
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 4: wish that I would have had that growing up. Instead,

92
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 4: I had to go to Doctor Phillips High School, Like

93
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.

94
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean I was.

95
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 2: I was in the minority in every place I went,

96
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: so you know, I was okay with that.

97
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: But yeah, I ended up Awake and absolutely loved it.

98
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: My college career wasn't what I was expecting, just with

99
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: injuries and COVID and all that. But you know, nothing

100
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: but good things to say about Tom Walter and his

101
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 2: staff there.

102
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: And you played with Ret Louder, but you missed Nick

103
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: Kurtz by a year. Tell me what you've seen from

104
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: those two guys obviously out of wake Forest that impresses

105
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: you the most about why they can be so successful

106
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: at the big league level, like yourself.

107
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rhett.

108
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: Rhett took the Sunday job after I blew out, after

109
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: I had TJ and and he stepped in it as

110
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: a freshman and you know, really commanded from an early

111
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: early time on from there, and he grew a ton,

112
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: started throwing you know, more strikes and throwing a little

113
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: bit harder. But he had it, you know, pretty damn

114
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: close when he when he showed up, so I hope

115
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: he's you know, getting healthier and feeling better and and

116
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: and ready to go next year because he's gonna do well.

117
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: And and Kurtz is just ridiculous.

118
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 2: I remember hearing stories and seeing a big left handed

119
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: bat in Winston and uh, they.

120
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 3: Huld do really well.

121
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: And then and he just absolutely killed it when he

122
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: came up. So super happy for him. I talked to

123
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: him a little bit when we went to Sacramento and

124
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: you know, so keep it up. Wished him luck and uh,

125
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: you know, maybe we'll catch up soon. But yeah, super

126
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: happy for those guys.

127
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 5: Do you know what today is, Shane? Do you know

128
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 5: what is happening in baseball today?

129
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: Forty man roster's got to be set today? Real five?

130
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: Is the rule five today? No way?

131
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 4: So the rule five so kind of ironical in the

132
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 4: winter meetings Real five?

133
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 5: No, no, no. But the guys who the guys who know

134
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 5: they're going to be available for the rule five, So

135
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 5: it's kind of ironic, you prob do you remember this day?

136
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 5: Obviously it's not this exact day last year when the

137
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 5: Brewers were like, nah, we're not going to protect you.

138
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: I I didn't really know it was my rule five

139
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: year until probably two or three days before the draft.

140
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: So when I wasn't protected, I didn't really think anything

141
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 2: of it. And then uh, once you know, I got

142
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: some phone calls pretty much right before the Rule five

143
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 2: and they said, hey, you're you're eligible, and then it's

144
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 2: kind of like, oh, crap, you know this is you know,

145
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 2: this is something that could happen, which is which was

146
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: wild Okay.

147
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 5: So so it wasn't like it wasn't a knock to

148
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 5: your ego because I remember being in the minor leagues

149
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 5: and like guys were like, oh, yeah, this is his

150
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 5: protection year. There's definitely you know, it's kind of a

151
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 5: plan form year type of thing. So you didn't really

152
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 5: think about that until you got phone calls and then

153
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 5: did you even know what the Rule five draft was?

154
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: I knew.

155
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: I knew it gave me a better opportunity than you know,

156
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: sitting in double air triple at the next year with Milwaukee,

157
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: I thought, you get added to the forty men, and

158
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: then you kind of just you know, you're a big

159
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: league spring training and then maybe you make the team,

160
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: but you're on the forty man. And then I learned

161
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: that if all things go well, you're in the big

162
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 2: leagues and uh, you know, give you your best shot.

163
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, when I was told that it was twenty

164
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: six and uh, you know spring training is my shot,

165
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: then it's kind of like, Okay, you know, it's the

166
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 2: opportunity I've always wanted and now it's time to run

167
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: with it.

168
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 5: Did you believe that you were actually going to get

169
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 5: an opportunity when you went to the White Sox because

170
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,679
Speaker 5: we talked I think we talked to you in spring

171
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 5: training and like rule five, guys, they get told one thing,

172
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 5: but the reality is it's like, hey, you know, we

173
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 5: just love to have you in the organization. This first

174
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 5: year is a whatever thing. Did you truly believe when

175
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 5: they told you that you made the team that you're like,

176
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be here the whole year. I'm going to

177
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 5: be an All Star.

178
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: I I think I'd do a disservice to myself if

179
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: I didn't think that I could do everything that I

180
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: wanted to do.

181
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 3: And no arrogance or cockiness.

182
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: I think when I get that opportunity, it was okay,

183
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: am I good enough to be here? And then I

184
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: think I showed myself and others that I'm good enough

185
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: to be here. And then it was kind of like, Okay,

186
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 2: now it's you know, now it's time to go the

187
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: novelty of like, hey, we just made the team and

188
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 2: you know, congratulations, like that's that's incredible, and I you know,

189
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: I cried that day with my family. But once you

203
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,160

204
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: Star Team? Because forget like Rule five awesome, made the

205
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,280

206
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: which is then the All Star Game? So what was

207
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 4: that call?

208
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: Like? It was a it was a whirlwind I really

209
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: didn't think that I was going to get the nod there.

210
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 3: I think I put together a pretty.

211
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: Strong, you know, ten twelve starts, and then you know,

212
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: the league adjusted to me and I had I had

213
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: a few you know, five six tough starts, and that

214
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: was kind of around that time and Venable came into

215
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 2: the the Colorado Rockies locker room I had to start

216
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: actually later that day, and you know, he's going through it,

217
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: and you know, White Sox rookie pitcher, and I was like, okay,

218
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: you know, it's got to be me here and overcome

219
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: with emotion, you know, try to say thank you to

220
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: the staff and my teammates around me, because you know,

221
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: that's how you get through those tough days, right, Like

222
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: your teammates are guys who can bounce ideas off of

223
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: and and you know, hey.

224
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 3: I'm struggling here. What do you got? You know? And

225
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 3: and I think that's.

226
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 2: A huge testament to the guys in this clubhouse that

227
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: you know, boost me up and that I can succeed.

228
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: So and then once you get to Atlanta, it's two

229
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: days of craziness and you know, trying to say hell

230
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 2: load everybody and pick people's brains and see what you

231
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: can get. Super thankful my family was there, and you know,

232
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: definitely something we'll we'll think about forever.

233
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: Shane, you had more starts under your belt than Jacob

234
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: Izarowski did, but he made the All Star team, and

235
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: a lot of folks were saying, how can this kid

236
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: who has, you know, five minutes in the big leagues

237
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: take a spot. What a lot of people didn't know

238
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: is a lot of pitchers ahead of him didn't want

239
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: to go or elected not to go. Their team wouldn't

240
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: let him pitch, but he was still very deserving on

241
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: the amount of starts that he had at the time.

242
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: How did you deal with that firestorm of him just

243
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: your reaction to it, because you kind of were in

244
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: a similar situation, even though you had been up longer

245
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: and had more starts. What was that What was your

246
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: reaction to that whole situation for him?

247
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 3: I mean, I played with miz for two years, so

248
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: I knew him pretty well.

249
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 2: I think in that situation where you know you have

250
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: the top prospect who's doing really well and is you know,

251
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: electrifying to watch, I think that's good for the game,

252
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: I think. And also when you have you know, I

253
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: think it was like twelve or thirteen guys that say

254
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: no to going out there. I think at that point,

255
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: you know, what do you do for that that's best

256
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 2: for the game. And I think miz was was in

257
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: that category of let's get someone really exciting who's done

258
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: well in a short period of time.

259
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: But I think it's really cool.

260
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: To see, you know, I think there is some merit

261
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: to you know, maybe having fifteen to twenty starts in

262
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: the big leagues before you get something like that.

263
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 3: But obviously, you.

264
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: Know I had fourteen, right, So you know, when do

265
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 2: you draw that line? I'm not sure, but I think

266
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: for me is that, you know, really happy for him,

267
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 2: and I'm glad he threw well pretty well in the playoffs.

268
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: I think that was really cool. And you know, is

269
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: it is it a baseball purist look? I don't think so.

270
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: But I think it's also really exciting for the game.

271
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 2: And you know, it's great to see some of the

272
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: best arms and most electric eying, electrifying arms throw In Atlanta.

273
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 5: You said you had a bunch of people to talk to,

274
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 5: you know, pick brains of people. Who was the coolest

275
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 5: person you met at the All Star Game that you

276
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 5: were like I can't believe I just said hi to

Speaker 3: Met Yeah, yeah, you were out there. I was. I

Speaker 3: was definitely starts struggling. I was saying hello to you. Yeah.

280
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 2: I think I wanted to, you know, introduce myself to

281
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: everybody and say, hey man, it's nice to meet you.

282
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 3: Really cool to see you. And then I think, you know,

283
00:12:58,960 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 3: I was.

284
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: I was in kind of the ale central corner of

285
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: the locker room. So I talked to I talked to

286
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 2: some of the hitters from Detroit and in Kansas City,

287
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 2: talked to Chris Bubitch a lot Scooble was right next

288
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: to me, Derek, so I obviously asked him a few questions,

289
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 2: trying to be you know, cordial about it and everything.

290
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: But Garret Crochet was another guy who was with the

291
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 2: White Sox that you know, have some familiar connections, so

292
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: talk to him a little bit. But you know, Aaron

293
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 2: Judge saying what's up to me? And you know guys

294
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 2: like that, that's you've been watching him for so long.

295
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: And then you know, I faced New York in my

296
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: last two starts, and it's like this guy's a good guy.

297
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: But you know, obviously you want to do well against him.

298
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 2: But yeah, just trying to say a load of people

299
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: and you know, if they're open to a conversation.

300
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 3: I was. I was trying to have it.

301
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 4: That's good, that's smart. That's a good way to go

302
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 4: into the All Star Game and enjoy, enjoy every second

303
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,360

313
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 4: a really good year.

314
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

315
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: So I talked to Zach, you know, twice now. I

316
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: actually texted me earlier today and just kind of checking in. Yeah,

317
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 2: I had a good conversation with him. He's trying to

318
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: get to know me and I'm trying to get to

319
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: know him. So, you know, just telling them what I'm

320
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: thinking in terms of, you know, what are the things

321
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: that I think that would be, you know, to help

322
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 2: me make that next jump that I'm trying to do.

323
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: And trying to make and I think he's doing a

324
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: really good job of listening. And also, you know, he

325
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: doesn't know me yet. He just kind of knows the

326
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: numbers and what it looks like on paper. And I

327
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: think as we get to know each other more, he's

328
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: gonna be like, Hey, Shane, I think you really can

329
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: you know, make a jump with getting guys out with

330
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: two strikes or first pitch strikes. You know, I definitely

331
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: have to throw, you know, cut down on a walks

332
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: this year. But yeah, I think I'm gonna meet with

333
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 2: him right after Thanksgiving and really kind of get into

334
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: the nitty gritty of you know, what's what's gonna help me,

335
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: what's going to be the most bang for our buck

336
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: that's you know, simple and effective for next year.

337
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 4: Hey, also, I want to I wanted to ask you

338
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 4: this that you have two rookie catchers, who did you

339
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 4: like throwing two more? Keel or Kirot. I'll put you

340
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 4: on the spot.

341
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 3: Here, No, I think. I think.

342
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: I think when you have two rookie guys, they're they're

343
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: still trying to figure themselves out in dealing with the

344
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: staff of you know, fifteen sixteen pitchers and to not

345
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: bring one picture over to the to another is a

346
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: hard thing to do, but like, hey, this guy does this,

347
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: but everybody throws differently and everybody's stuff is different, so

348
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: you kind of have to attack differently. And I think

349
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: Caro had had Matt Feist early on that helped him

350
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: out of the gate for Fist to give him scouting

351
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: reports and and this is how we break down, and

352
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: this is how we want to look at guys. And

353
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: then Teal shows up and is and it's just him

354
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: and Carroll just trying to figure it out on the fly.

355
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: So it took a lot of the pictures going to

356
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: Teal and saying, hey man, this is this is what

357
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: we're trying to do. And and he picked it up

358
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 2: right away. You know, if if you didn't like something,

359
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: you shake it. And he's he's all over it, and

360
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: he's trying to learn more about you know, why are

361
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 2: we shaking there? I think we saw this and then

362
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: we're having an open conversation. Right, everybody wants to succeed

363
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: and everybody wants to do well, and it's just kind

364
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: of how do we get there? So I think, you know,

365
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: Caroen might have had the head start with theis kind

366
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: of learning him the ropes. But Teal and Carow, you know,

367
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: bounced ideas off each other and then you know, relied

368
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 2: heavily on the pictures to kind of, you know, guide

369
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: in one way or another.

370
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 5: A right trying to meld two things that you said together.

371
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 5: You're talking about catchers and you're talking about meeting somebody

372
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 5: the All Star Game. I got to ask you who

373
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 5: should have won the MVP. You were kind of starstruck

374
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 5: by Judge, you said, But you know what, you didn't

375
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 5: say anything about cal You were like, hey, whatever, man,

376
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 5: I guess that guy is not going to catch me

377
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 5: in the All Star Games? So so who should have

378
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 5: won the MVP? Because it was close?

379
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, well close. I think.

380
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: I think the Most Valuable Player is an interesting award

381
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: because when you look at a catcher, who it's, you know,

382
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 2: sixty one bombs or sixty bombs and you know it's

383
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 2: one of the best defensive catchers in the game this

384
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: year and is really good behind the plate, I think

385
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 2: that's it's pretty hard to put a value on that.

386
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: But then you have judge, who it's you know, three

387
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 2: thirty with fifty five or fifty three with an eleven

388
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 2: hundred ops, and it's like, Okay, that guy clearly is

389
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: the staple in that lineup and propels them into a

390
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: divisional round. I think I think it would have been

391
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 2: really cool to see to see cal win it, to

392
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 2: see a Catcher win MVP with that amount of bombs

393
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 2: and you know, catching five days a week, six days

394
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 2: a week and showing up for his team. I think

395
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 2: it's really hard to argue what the offensive numbers of

396
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 2: Judge were.

397
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: Spoken like a true I was gonna say. Aj spoken

398
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: like I know, I'm gonna let you talk, but it's

399
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: very diplomatic. I have I see a future in politics

400
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: for you. Shane Smith.

401
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 4: Listen, Shane Murkins. Judge Murkin voted for Judge, so therefore

402
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 4: it was Raleigh that's it. And it was Raly and

403
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 4: plus you Murkin won't come on the show. You will,

404
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 4: so you should have said, Raleigh, Okay, that's that's I did.

405
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 4: I know, I know, but you through Judge little love

406
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 4: which listen, he won. He great, he deserved it. He

407
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 4: had a great year.

408
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: But I mean he did Yeah, he won the MVP,

409
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 2: so he can't really discredit everything he does.

410
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 4: We're not just crediting. We love Aaron judge, we're not

411
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 4: discrediting him at all. We're not discrediting him at all.

412
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 3: I get it. I get it.

413
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 4: You still have to face him, so you want to.

414
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 4: You don't want to mad at you when you have

415
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 4: to face him down. But yeah, but okay, So I

416
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 4: have two things and then we gotta let you go. One,

417
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 4: tell col Some Montgomery to text me back. Okay, I've

418
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 4: texted him twice now he has. He's ghosted me. So

419
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna keep calling him out and I'm just

420
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 4: gonna start texting him every day until he responds. So

421
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 4: Teal text me back. You're great about it all. There

422
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: are a lot of the White Sox guys. But Cools Montgomery, listen,

423
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 4: if you're ware my number, to text me back. All right,

424
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 4: that's it. I mean, tell Colson. Maybe I have the

425
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 4: wrong number. I don't know, but if I do, I'm sorry.

426
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 4: But if not, tell them to text me back. And

427
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 4: then the next thing I want to know is you

428
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 4: have two sisters, right, you have two sisters?

429
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 3: I do Do.

430
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 4: You ever tell them not to tweet? Because it's hilarious

431
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 4: when they start, people say something about you and then

432
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 4: they write like have you ever gone to your sister

433
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 4: and said, look, sis, I love you to death, but

434
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 4: can we not get in twitter battles today? Just let

435
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 4: me pitch and pitch good because you had a great year.

436
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 4: And I always then i'd fall and then your sister

437
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 4: would pop up on my feet and I would just

438
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 4: be like, this is what I came for. This is

439
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 4: what's gonna make my day right here.

440
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, No, there's definitely been some conversations. Uh, I

441
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: think I think I think early on it was kind

442
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: of like, hey, you know, people are gonna have things

443
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 2: to say that aren't always positive, Like you really got

444
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: to stay away from it, just you know post hey

445
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: my brother's pitching today, or hey, good job to my brother,

446
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 2: and you know, I can't be mad at that. But

447
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: I think, you know, there I've seen some instancides where

448
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 2: it's like, why are you even entertaining this.

449
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 3: This guy that's saying, oh, you know, Shane Smith sucks,

450
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 3: like just let it go.

451
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: But I'm the little brother, and I think that's got

452
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: something to do with it. So I think if they

453
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: hear that they're you know, getting noticed by you guys,

454
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 2: they'd be like, either we keep it up or we

455
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 2: probably shut it down. But Yeah, there's been some, but

456
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: you know they're also they're adults and they can live

457
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 2: their life as.

458
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: Long as they're you know, not threatening anybody. I think

459
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 3: it's okay.

460
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: Social media can be the devil or you love it when.

461
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 4: Sisters they're standing up for little brother. I mean, by

462
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 4: the way, if they say Shane Smith sucks, all you

463
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 4: got to do is say All Star Game under four

464
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 4: e r A. In my first year in the big leagues.

465
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 4: I don't think I suck that bad. I think I

466
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,040
