1 00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Hey, we've got Tyler Glass now back in action. Too 2 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: great to see you back, dude. How you feeling and 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: how was the return for you? 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 2: Ma'am? It was good. 5 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 3: I feel really good, just iron and all that stuff out, 6 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 3: just back to being healthy and I feel really good 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 3: right now. 8 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,639 Speaker 1: I liked your quote the other day after Friday Start. 9 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,240 Speaker 1: Obviously people want to know, hey, you change anything mechanically, 10 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: and you're like, I'm just trying to be athletic and 11 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: just not look at anything. Does that mean take it 12 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: back a little bit to I don't want to say 13 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: little kid days, but just not listening too much or 14 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: studying much and just going out and kind of doing 15 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: what naturally feels right delivery wise. 16 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's kind of like a meet in 17 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 3: the middle situation. I think like when you go through 18 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 3: the same injury year and you're out, you kind of 19 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 3: have to figure out something. And I think I just revamped, 20 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 3: like really like a lot of stuff this offseason, and. 21 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: It felt good in the beginning. 22 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 3: And I just think like when you make huge changes, 23 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 3: your body's not used to something like that, especially when 24 00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 3: you're trying to throw really hard. So I think it's 25 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 3: kind of like a meet in the middle thing. I 26 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 3: think trying to overcook what I was doing before and 27 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 3: like get really crazy backbend and putting like a ton 28 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 3: of strain on my arm probably. 29 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,279 Speaker 2: Wasn't the answer. 30 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 3: And I think what I did this offseason also is 31 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 3: probably too far on the other side of the spectrum. 32 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 3: So I think a lot of it is eliminating thought 33 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 3: pitching and then throughout the week trying to just iron 34 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 3: out the things I need to But when I go 35 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 3: out and that like every five days, I just got 36 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 3: to go out and compete. It's just too hard in 37 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 3: this lead to go out and try to like do a. 38 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: Bunch of other stuff. 39 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 3: So it is just when I am in between the lines, 40 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: just try to compete as much as I can and 41 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 3: then worry about the other stuff after. 42 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 4: Nice. So you think it's good to see by the way, 43 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 4: it's been a minute. 44 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, but no, I got traded over the Dodgers and 45 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 5: made a lot of information for me. You know, I'm 46 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 5: struggling at the time, but you were, you know, dominating 47 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 5: throwing the ball well in Tampa. What are some things 48 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 5: that they put like they kind of showed you that, hey, 49 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 5: you could do this a little bit. 50 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 4: This way and this way that added. 51 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 5: On, and it was some of the things you're talking 52 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 5: about maybe pushing too far the wrong way that might 53 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 5: have caused some of the injuries to flare. 54 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: It. 55 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think a lot of it. Like 56 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 3: I kind of came over and they were pretty good 57 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 3: about like they weren't trying to change much. I think 58 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 3: maybe like or pitch usage and like maybe some in 59 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 3: between weak stuff. I think a lot of the changes 60 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 3: I made this off season were just kind of out 61 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 3: of my own frustration of always getting hurt, and so 62 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: I think I just looked at like some talk to 63 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 3: a bunch of different people, maybe some biomechanic guys, and 64 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 3: like they all had different opinions, but all of the 65 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 3: similar things they said I tried to take into the 66 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 3: off season, and I just think it was it felt 67 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: really good, like it was designed to make my elbow 68 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 3: feel good, and it worked, and my shoulders shuttered hurting, 69 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: So it just kind. 70 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: Of was like I couldn't. I don't know. 71 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,399 Speaker 3: It was just one of those situations where I'd rather 72 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 3: go out and pitch well and be athletic as opposed 73 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 3: to just trying to like figure out a way to 74 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: keep my elbow healthy. 75 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 2: But I think, like I said, if. 76 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 3: I can go in like the middle ground and find 77 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 3: a way to compete and stay healthy and just like 78 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 3: take care of all the recovery stuff in between the week, 79 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 3: which they have a really good grasp on, and like 80 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 3: our training room and strength coach guys are awesome. 81 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 2: So I think it was just I guess a little, 82 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: a little halfway thing. I guess if that makes any sense, I. 83 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 6: Want to stick on this for one more question about mindset. 84 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 6: I think people what people don't understand is when people 85 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 6: go through trials and tribulations and their job or their profession, 86 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 6: how hard it really is. Now for you, you're very strong 87 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 6: in your mind, you're very technical, you're analytical, you understand 88 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 6: the way you pitch, But can you tell, like the 89 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 6: just regular person out there, you know, what is really 90 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 6: going on in your mind during all these things, injuries, 91 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 6: getting on the mound, having to face some of the 92 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 6: best hitters in the world. You know, I do talk 93 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 6: about changing things, but how do you keep this in 94 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 6: the right location. 95 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: I think it definitely is one of those things that 96 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: comes as you get a routine and you learn yourself, 97 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 3: and like you go through the ebbs and flows. The season, 98 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 3: you understand how to navigate like all that up and down, 99 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 3: and I think when you add, like for me this year, 100 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: when you add something else that's like completely brand new, 101 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 3: it's just another element of something to think about. And 102 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 3: it's like probably a picture's worse night, or like just 103 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 3: not a picture's it's not like conducive to being a 104 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 3: good picture. I think, I'll you do what you can 105 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 3: during the week, and then you try to eliminate thought 106 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 3: when you get on the mound, and then if you 107 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: have all these other external things you're thinking about and 108 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 3: all this other added stuff, it just it makes it 109 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 3: a lot harder. But I guess kind of to what 110 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: you're saying, it is, it's a lot like you're trying 111 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: to navigate how you feel, how the other lineup responds 112 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 3: to your stuff, and then all the other things going on, 113 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 3: and it is just like a process of elimination and 114 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 3: trying to simplify the game as much. And I think 115 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: in a world where there is a lot of added information, 116 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 3: you want to take that and you want to understand 117 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 3: it and you want to simplify it. But I think 118 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 3: like the ticket for anyone, especially if they're not in 119 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 3: like a great place is just eliminate thought, go out 120 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 3: and play in the backyard and just try to simplify 121 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 3: the game as much as you possibly can. 122 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 2: Probably for a picture and a hitter. 123 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: I can't speak on what a hitter goes through, but 124 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 3: I'm assuming simple is always pretty pretty good. 125 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take us in a different direction. A tall 126 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: dude who has burst on the scene and been talked 127 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: about a lot so far. I wanted to get your 128 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: thoughts on Jacob is ARASKI if you got to see 129 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: some pitches from him, maybe catch a start from the 130 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: mizz and then what were your thoughts on him getting 131 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: into the All Star Game. 132 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a I mean, he's a freak. 133 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 3: I think I saw a quote that their manager said, 134 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 3: he's just like so green, still got the goo on him. 135 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: He's like a fetus or what. I don't know what 136 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 2: he said. That's what I took from it. 137 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,679 Speaker 3: And he really, I mean, he moves incredibly well, super long, 138 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: and like very he times it up extremely well. And 139 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 3: I think for being how young he is, it's really 140 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 3: hard to do. And even there's are times that like 141 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 3: being a long, kind of hard throwing guy, it's it's 142 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 3: it is really hard to time up. But it seems 143 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 3: like his stuff is really consistent. He always has that 144 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 3: like hard slider sitting a hundred seems like a really 145 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 3: good dude. But yeah, I was super impressed. When you 146 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 3: pitch against us, you think he struck out twelve dudes. 147 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 3: His stuff was just electric. And then I guess as 148 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 3: far as the All Star Game goes, I think immediate 149 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: reaction is like five games. That's not a ton of 150 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: time to go into an All Star Game. But I 151 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 3: think after like, you can't I if anyone is in 152 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: his shoes and he's like that disgusting, And then the 153 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 3: league asked you to go to the All Star Game, 154 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 3: like of course you're going to do it. So no, 155 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 3: I don't think anyone can fault him for it. And 156 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: I also think I heard that like they asked a 157 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: bunch of guys to go, and I think a lot 158 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 3: of guys value the four days off and. 159 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 2: We're just like I on like a short notice. I 160 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 2: don't want to go pitching the All Star Game. 161 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: I think a lot of guys like six weeks before, 162 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 3: like a month before the All Star breaker, like all right, 163 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 3: what can I do during all you were thinking about 164 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: all this time you get off. 165 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: It's such a long season. It's just hard to like 166 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 2: go in and do it. And he was willing to 167 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 2: do it. 168 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 3: He was fresh five starts like whatever, and he's nasty. 169 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 2: Why not do it again? Who cares? True? 170 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 6: I got two questions. I was going to ask this one. 171 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 6: But since you brought up to All Star break, is 172 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 6: there something you think we could change for the All 173 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 6: Star Break? Maybe give it a week off so all 174 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 6: those guys that actually get picked can at least come 175 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 6: and show up and pitch for an end, because it 176 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 6: seems like it's always the pitchers that get screwed out 177 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 6: of a you know, a nod to be on the 178 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 6: All Star Game. What do you think about that? 179 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 2: Or is that just too far fetch? 180 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: No, I'm down to a week All Star break would 181 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 3: be amazing. It's just it's such a long season, like, yeah. 182 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: It's for springing. 183 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 3: Everything's like eight nine months crazy with especially if you're 184 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: in the World Series in the playoffs. 185 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: It's just such a long time. 186 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 6: Uh. 187 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 3: And I do think that week break like you can 188 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 3: navigate however you want. If you're a guy who needs 189 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 3: to throw, you can go throw applios or whatever. Take 190 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 3: a couple of days off, do this, do that. But 191 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 3: when you go it's because it's not I think a 192 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 3: lot of times too, you need like that emotional or 193 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 3: like the mental recharge. 194 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,239 Speaker 2: And when you go to the All Star. 195 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 3: Game, it's like home run Derby and then all that 196 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 3: media and then you go into the All Star Game 197 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 3: and then you have you have to fly home, so 198 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 3: you basically get one day off and then you have 199 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 3: that workout the day before the break's over, so you 200 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 3: get like, it's not like you get penalized. For me, 201 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 3: I think like if you are an All Star, you 202 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 3: end up just like never getting a break. So I 203 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 3: do think you if you extend it like through or 204 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 3: does give it a week to where everybody gets those 205 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 3: like that like three day of nothing, that would be 206 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 3: that'd be a great idea. 207 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,239 Speaker 1: You know about the best place to buy, sell, trade 208 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: or look for that special card in your world.

I think I came from Pittsburgh to 337 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 3: Tampa and kik Kiirmeyer was a guy in Tampa who 338 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 3: did that, and it was very like I think to 339 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 3: the course of like the ups and downs of seasons, 340 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 3: like always having a routine. 341 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: To where if you win, like something to celebrate and 342 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: like to call guys out for doing well is like essential. 343 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: And I think seeing that for the first time they 344 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 3: come in to the Dodgers and seeing how like iron 345 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 3: out and like buttoned up it is, and it's just 346 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 3: everything seems to like fit in place, and there's like 347 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 3: a I don't know, I guess I'll plan for everything. 348 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 3: It's like it's super essential for a winning team. I 349 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 3: think just to like celebrate the small wins and Miggie 350 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 3: Rowe's phenomenal and the mic, and I think a lot 351 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 3: of people always look forward to the meetings and like 352 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: the wins after just to be able to do that. 353 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Miggi's one of the best. 354 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. 355 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: All Right, so I'll get you one on the current status. 356 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: It's a rut for the team. I mean, it's not 357 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: gonna get covered much on this show because we see 358 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: the talented roster and they're still clear of first place 359 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: by several games. It's not like the team's cruising through 360 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: the padres are on the Dodger's tail. But my question 361 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: for you is how do you observe a veteran team 362 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: like this, that is talented, that's been here year after year, 363 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: go through the balance of a tough stretch and saying, hey, 364 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: we got to fix this and get it right. But 365 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: also we probably should just be doing what we've been 366 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: doing for most of our careers because the organization makes 367 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs. 368 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's there's always like a point in 369 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 3: the season where you're in a rut, Like we had 370 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 3: them last year when I was here for my first 371 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 3: year here. 372 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 2: I know in seventeen I think they lost like eleven. 373 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 3: In a row and then went to the World Series. 374 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 3: So I think it's not like a super big panic moment. 375 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 3: I think people understand when you're not playing good, it 376 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 3: like sucks and it's not as like great in the clubhouse. 377 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 3: And I think it's just at this moment, we're not 378 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 3: really clicking on like any of the cylinders. And I 379 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 3: think it's just kind of like how baseball goes, Like 380 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 3: you can be hitting well, not pitching well, then it 381 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 3: flips around then the bullpen's dominating and hitting is a 382 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 3: little bad or defense. It's just kind of like the 383 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 3: ebbs and flows of like things are good, things are bad, 384 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 3: and then like it's just the I guess like the. 385 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 2: Law of chance or whatever. 386 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 3: It's like probability is just like at some point all 387 00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 3: of them are going to be on a downswing and 388 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 3: it's just so and city right now. But I guess 389 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 3: it makes you realize like when you have bad moments, 390 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 3: like when we do start to play good again, it's 391 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 3: like it makes you appreciate it a lot more, like 392 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 3: you can't have like the good happy series when Mickey 393 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 3: ro speaks like speeches without like I don't know, just 394 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 3: like appreciating when it's good and when it's bad, and 395 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 3: it's just right now we're just in a rut. 396 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 2: But we'll get out of it. It's it's still we 397 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: have a lot of a lot of baseball left. 398 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, we're in mid July. So I'll get to a 399 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: tiny question here. I mean, obviously we don't get to 400 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: talk to him, most people don't. You do, So what 401 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 1: do you have for us on him this year? Like 402 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: something different with him where we're following what he's doing 403 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: on the field, but anything different with him, or any 404 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: recent conversations that are worth pointing out. You know, our 405 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: whole audience is just dying to get something on him 406 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: because you know, you just don't get a lot of access. 407 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: We know he's busy trying to get back to being 408 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: a five to six inning starter while still hitting every day. 409 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 3: I don't know, I think like he what are some 410 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 3: things he reads?

Like I think 417 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 3: he likes the like the story and the arc, and 418 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 3: it's kind of interesting to me. I think it's really 419 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 3: kind of fascinating for him to just go and like 420 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 3: especially a world of like iPads and TikTok and crazy stuff. 421 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 3: He's kind of still going old school comic books.

So 502 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: my question is, do you think that most athletes in 503 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: the room that you're around know the gist of how 504 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: comedians operate and how he specifically operates. It might sound 505 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: like a dumb question for someone like you who's paying 506 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: attention to his career, someone like me, but I wasn't there, 507 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: so I'm trying. I would love to read the room 508 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: and be like, do they understand that he is an 509 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: unhinged comedian and he has brought here to do just that, 510 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: And I mean, whatever you believe his beliefs are like 511 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: he genuinely is paid to just like stir the pot. 512 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 2: That is his job, and it's accepted. 513 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there. I think people know of then 514 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 3: they do, and then the people that don't know of 515 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 3: them are probably like, well, I didn't sign up for this. 516 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 3: Like I'm sure there's a little bit of both, but 517 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 3: I think like if you do, where's any sort of 518 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 3: concern or like how I mean that if there are 519 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 3: people that work like you can figure it out, like 520 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 3: you're like, all right, Shane Gillis is hosting, you know 521 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 3: what I mean, Like you can you can draw the 522 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 3: line to like see kind of how he is. But 523 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 3: I'm sure there were some people that aren't don't know 524 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 3: anything about Shane Gillison. 525 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: We're like, whoa, that's pretty gnarly. 526 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 3: But I think the sps have had kind of a 527 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 3: history of doing like some some crazy hosts, Uh what's this? 528 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 3: Norm McDonald did it a while ago, So I think 529 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 3: it's not like so it's it's been done before, so 530 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 3: it wasn't crazy. 531 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 2: I think it's just kind of how it is. 532 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 3: And like there's even like the other award shows, like 533 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 3: Ricky Gervais says, like crazy shit, it just this kind 534 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 3: of it is what it is and like it's I 535 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 3: don't know, I just think it's in in the world 536 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 3: of comedy too. 537 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 2: It's like the I just don't think there are really. 538 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 3: Any rules, and that's what's good about it in my opinion, 539 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 3: Like it's just if you laugh, it's it's funny. And 540 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 3: I understand it could be like offensive sometimes, especially people 541 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 3: who don't know or like didn't sign up for it. It's 542 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 3: probably a little shocking, but it is what it is. 543 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 3: I mean, ESPN made the decision, and I think it 544 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 3: was good. I don't know about like the ratings and stuff. 545 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 3: It was a little tense in the room. Like I said, 546 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 3: I got a lot of people. I don't know if 547 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 3: like laughed as hard as people did at home, but 548 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 3: I think it. 549 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 2: Probably worked out for them ratings wise. 550 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you look up the monologue afterwards, how many 551 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: views the whole thing. They definitely got the pop that 552 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: they were looking for. That's my thing. And I'm like, 553 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: it's not as if they announced him twenty four hours before, 554 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: you know they So if you don't know the gist, 555 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: then agent publicists whatever would probably be the one to say, hey, 556 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: just so you know, you might get made fun of. 557 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 8: At a pretty intense level. Are you good to go? 558 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 8: You're signing up for this or I'm forcing you to go. 559 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 8: You're not getting paid millions of dollars to show up 560 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 8: to it. So anyway, yeah, I was curious how the 561 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 8: room was because from my view, like, yeah, it was 562 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 8: just fascinating case study. But I could talk about that. 563 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 8: But anyway, Tyler, awesome to have you back on. Good 564 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 8: to see you, dude.

And and you 570 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 3: were one of the first people I've ever seen pitch 571 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 3: when I was with Pittsburgh. 572 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 2: You were opening the Gay Starter. It was a rough 573 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 2: game for you, but I mean, well we all got rough. 574 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 4: Guess that the Twins then. 575 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I think it was Twins opening day. I 576 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 3: think you gave up, like you were doing really well. 577 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 3: You're shoving and I think you gave up a grand Slam, 578 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 3: but you ended up shoving that like you. 579 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 2: Did a lot of a lot of years. But yeah, 580 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 2: it was. It was just sick to watch you pitch 581 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 2: over to day. I was in the bullpen, rotten Away 582 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 2: or wherever I was watching you. 583 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 4: It was just, Yeah, they were hiding you somehow. 584 00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 2: I don't know what they were yet. 585 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 8: Hour on that, but maybe in the off season.
