7
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: you say hello, this is Lance Lyn's ft guest hosting debut.

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,959

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 5: But the real sprints just beginning now, which is exciting.

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: All right, So I'll do the burning question right from

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: the jump. What changed? Was it getting away from Lance

17
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: or something else?

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think getting getting away from this was definitely

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 4: good for me. But you know, I think, uh, getting

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 4: this organization and and just getting kind of a fresh start,

21
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 4: you know, was was really important for me. And you know,

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 4: something this off season that I was excited about. And

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 4: obviously you know, whenever you get non tendered, it burns

24
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 4: a little bit, But for me, I was just excited

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 4: about a fresh start and getting somewhere where, you know,

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 4: winning was the most important thing.

27
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,720

00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,600

48
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 4: was for a couple of nights, but I felt I

49
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 4: felt that I would just wear that one and and

50
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:22,920

Speaker 2: That's awesome. I want to talk a little bit more

54
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 2: about family.

55
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 6: Your dad, Larry, played eight seasons with the Orioles, Tigers

56
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 6: and Mariners. Talk a little about what he is ingrained

57
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 6: in you in baseball, the grind, you know, the ebbs

58
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 6: and flows of the of the ever lasting, getting humbled

59
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 6: all the time. What are you and your dad have

60
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 6: talked about over the years, just so you know, to

61
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 6: get your mind right here, because I find this so

62
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 6: interesting and fascinating how family members and it genetics makes,

63
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 6: you know, the world go around in this baseball world.

64
00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt.

65
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 4: You know, it's fun because each year we've had different conversations.

66
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 4: You know, in the beginning, it was how to come

67
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 4: up in the league and and stay in the league,

68
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: and then it was you know, I've had different roles.

69
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 4: I've been a platoon player, I've been off the bench guy.

70
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: Now this year I'm an everyday starter. So you know,

71
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: being able to talk to them through each scenario and

72
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: how to handle your situation, how to you know, make

73
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 4: the most of each role that you're in, and so

74
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 4: every day it's a it's a different conversation, but just

75
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: having someone that's been through and understands how hard this

76
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 4: game is and what it takes to stay in this

77
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 4: league for a long time has been has been very important.

78
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: Gavin, I'll do another classic question. I'm sure you've been

79
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: asked it before. What are the differences behind the scenes

80
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: that are helping you prep for games? Every organization runs

81
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: themselves differently. We've spoken to quite a few players either

82
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: on the padres or that are former padres. You say,

83
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: the info and the preparation is elite, is top notch,

84
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: and I know you don't have a million teams to

85
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: compare it to, but I'm sure friends around the league

86
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: have talked to you about them as well.

87
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 5: What do you got for us?

88
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, the way we prepare here in the and the

89
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: stuff available to us is awesome, you know, just preparing

90
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 4: on a daily basis for the pitcher at hand.

91
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 5: And but I just like how simple they keep it.

92
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: You know, it's they don't they take out the eye

93
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 4: wash and you know, the most important thing is is

94
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 4: six forty every night?

95
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 5: You know, it's it's.

96
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 4: Not about you know, it's not about the We get

97
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: our work in for sure, but when you show up

98
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 4: to the ballpark every day, you understand the most important

99
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 4: thing is is once the game starts. And you know,

100
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 4: I think that's that's most important. You keep all your

101
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: effort and your energy and you save it up for

102
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 4: the game. And we're extremely prepared. And the way we

103
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 4: go about our business and the way we talk in

104
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: the meetings and just prepare for the game is pretty special.

105
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: How did it come about when you linked up with

106
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: the Padres? Like take us through that process? Like you mentioned,

107
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, it never feels good getting non tendered. Of course,

108
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm sure that adds some juice for you. But what

109
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: happened after that?

110
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, then it was you know, seeing the interest around

111
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 4: the league, talking to a couple of teams.

112
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 5: And narrowing it down.

113
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: And you know, it's funny one of my one of

114
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 4: my big mentors that you know, Lance played for a

115
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 4: while was Tony LaRussa, And you know, I had some

116
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 4: I was talking to some teams that Tony was.

117
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 5: Was knew the guys running it, and you know he he.

118
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 4: Spoke very highly of of Shilt and you know, he

119
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 4: felt it would be a good fit. And you know,

120
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 4: I talked to him and obviously you know, making it,

121
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 4: making sure the Padres was a good fit as well,

122
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 4: you know, what they needed it and what you know,

123
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 4: what I could bring to the table, and you know,

124
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 4: and then the business side of it is is the

125
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 4: business side of it, So that's the negotiations with all

126
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 4: the teams and everything.

127
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 5: But just felt like a really good fit.

128
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 3: Hey, I know you you signed to be a d

129
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 3: H and you're getting some left field time and I've

130
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 3: seen you run out there, but I've seen you progress

131
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 3: over the years when we were from Chicago on the years,

132
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: how much how comfortable were you out there? And you know,

133
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 3: is it something you were expecting as the year went on.

134
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think when I came in it was it

135
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 4: was going to be mostly first in First and d H.

136
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: But as the season per dressed on and what our

137
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 4: needs were and you know, being able to go out

138
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 4: there and help us out there has been huge. And

139
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 4: I feel like I've gotten a lot better out there.

140
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 4: You know, put in a lot of work with the

141
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 4: guys here, and you know, I think that's the cool

142
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 4: thing about being able to play different positions is you

143
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 4: allow yourself to get on the field in many different ways,

144
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 4: and you know, being able to help this team and

145
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 4: play out there every day has been It's been a

146
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: lot of fun.

147
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,520

Speaker 7: even have them send it to me already graded everything

160
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 7: taking care for me.

161
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: That's right.

162
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: You want to hang it up and stare at it

163
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: all day, go for it. But if you're in there

164
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: to get something else or to sell.

165
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: It away, you can do that.

166
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: They've got the buyback program, or you can put it

167
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: on the marketplace yourself. Tons of options. This is where

Speaker 1: o U L.

174
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 6: So I got a gyues no question, and then I'll

175
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 6: ask the real question I want. Do you naturally hate

176
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 6: the Dodgers? Now since you're on the padres.

177
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 5: I enjoy the rivalry. I enjoy.

178
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: That.

179
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 6: I love that political answer. I'll take it, no worries.

180
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 6: How how are you guys gonna get over the hump

181
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 6: this team, the Dodger's been struggling. It's always a battle

182
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 6: against them, but they always seem to come out on

183
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 6: top of the division or what have you in the playoffs.

184
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 6: You know, not to bring up bad things and what's

185
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 6: been going on over the recent years. How do you

186
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 6: guys get over the hump here and get through to

187
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 6: this dog your team and make a run. Because last year,

188
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 6: my partner here, Scotty, thought you guys would have won

189
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 6: the whole thing if you would have won those last

190
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 6: two games last year. So talk to you about how

191
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 6: you guys finally get over the hump here and finally

192
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 6: beat the Dodgers.

193
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm excited for the challenge.

194
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 4: You know, obviously on paper they are what they are,

195
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: and you know, obviously we're not going to shy away

196
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: from because we have a lot of star Town as well.

197
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 4: And you know, I think that you know, our our

198
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 4: pitching has been extremely good this year, our hitters are

199
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 4: We're starting to pick it up and get it going.

200
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,679
Speaker 4: And you know, obviously at the deadline with with Peller

201
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 4: and the way he does business, anything can happen. But

202
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 4: you know, we got Michael King coming back hopefully soon,

203
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 4: and you know, our team's really line it up to

204
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 4: be special. So you know, I think that, you know,

205
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 4: the biggest thing is is not worry about other teams

206
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 4: and just kind of control what you can control and

207
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 4: go out every day and put stack wins up and

208
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 4: see what happens. But you know, obviously the Dodgers are

209
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 4: the head of the pack right now, and you know,

210
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: we're excited to, uh see what happens in this next sprint.

211
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: I think you nailed it with the inclusion of Prowler

212
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: in that sentence.

213
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 2: So this is one of the.

214
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: Premier Gunslinger executives in the game, which is fun for

215
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: I would say basically everyone, right, it's fun for players

216
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: when you get some help. It's fun for fans to

217
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: follow really of the entire sport. We want more trades activity,

218
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: and he's always making phone calls. He is more aggressive

219
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: than most. So during this time period we're ten days

220
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: away from the trade deadline. Do you get a little

221
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: fandom in you in a good way where you're keeping

222
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: track of the rumors and the reports. Are you one

223
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: of those people that are checking the phone obviously? I

224
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: know most club basses now have the guys in the

225
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: phones a lot. Is that happening over these ten days here?

226
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: And this is different. This is different from the White

227
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: Sox days, where the phone checking is probably in a

228
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: different way like uh trade.

229
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it is. It is completely different.

230
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 4: I remember in twenty three sitting with Lance and a

231
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 4: couple guys and by thirty minutes later they're all off

232
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 4: the team. So this is this is a little different now.

233
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 4: But yeah, I've never seen you know, I've never seen

234
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 4: Preller not.

235
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 5: On the phone.

236
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 4: So think we're always kind of looking around and you know,

237
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: I know from just looking around the league when when

238
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 4: I was with the White Sox, you always look to

239
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 4: see what the Padres do because you know he's aggressive

240
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 4: and you know he wants to win.

241
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 5: I think it's great for baseball.

242
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 4: I think you see now there's so much parody around

243
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 4: the league and so many teams that are in it,

244
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: and you know, obviously at the trade deadline, anything can happened,

245
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 4: and teams bolster up around the league. And I think

246
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 4: it's an exciting time for fans. I think it's exciting

247
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: time for baseball. And you know, we'll see what happens

248
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 4: with us.

249
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: Hey, like you said, I know it broke your heart

250
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: when I got traded from the White Sox years ago,

251
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: and you're like I heard you're like the lost puppy

252
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 3: running around the playpass, didn't know who to follow or

253
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 3: anything like that. That being said, now you get to

254
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: play every day and you know you're in the lineup.

255
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 3: Is that hurt the golf game cause we're not getting

256
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: to play much or what are we working with?

257
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 5: It's definitely, it's definitely hurt the golf game a little

258
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 5: bit in a good way.

259
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: You know.

260
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 4: It's, uh, this is probably the least I've ever played.

261
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 4: You know, I missed it a little bit. I got

262
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 4: to play a couple of times in the road days.

263
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: But you know, between playing every day and the baby,

264
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 4: now it's it's gonna be off season.

265
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 3: Only it looks like, yeah, you're finally grown up. Now

266
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: it's good for you.

267
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 5: Yeah it feels good.

268
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: You know.

269
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 4: I still still enjoy taking money from you on the

270
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 4: on the course, but that can always wait till the

271
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 4: off season.

272
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: Hey, that was Graveman. Don't get us confused. You always

273
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: took it from Graveman.

274
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: All right.

275
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: So I've got a few fan questions. This is a

276
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: perfect one to start with because it involves Lance as well.

277
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: So we can get Lance on the screen for this

278
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 1: one too. Let's four box it. Okay, So Mike g said,

279
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: for Gavin, how would he how would he approach that

280
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: bad against prime Lance Lynn? And how would Lynn try

281
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: to get him out? So we'll let Gavin.

282
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 5: Well, I think we can.

283
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: I think we can pull up the tape last year

284
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: of our bats, he threw me a two oh change

285
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: up with the guy that throws ninety percent heater. So

286
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,719
Speaker 4: you talk about the fear factor already, but I think

287
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 4: there was a double down the left field line, and

288
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 4: uh yeah, I actually had him sign the ball that

289
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 4: you know said I was one for two of the

290
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 4: walk and I put on their two oh change up

291
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 4: on their well.

292
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 5: So I had that sitting in my house at home.

293
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 3: The question was Prime, Right, we're not talking last year

294
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 3: in your career and missing a couple of hamstring tender.

295
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 4: Look, I just I just saw the Saint Louis Cardinals

296
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 4: jersey on, so I just figured it was Prime Lancelne.

297
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: Wow, Yeah, you know, no, right he did? He shot

298
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: a sinker. You know he's hitting fourth. He late barrels,

299
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: slapped the ball down the left field line, so you know, yeah,

300
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: a little bit of a slappy, but you know that's

301
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 3: kind of fits his mold. That's he was a platoon

302
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 3: guy back then too, So you gotta slap. You gotta

303
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 3: get your knox just to hope you get in the

304
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 3: line up the next day. So I get it. But

305
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: you got Prime. Let's go to Texas, right, Todd? Prime?

306
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: When you're just when I'm punching tickets, it's just four seems.

307
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: Buy him up.

308
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: Top all day long, and then every and then cut

309
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 3: her in hard, let him hook it foul, Yeah, let

310
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 3: him hook it foul. Thinks he's on it, and then

311
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: it's buy him again up top.

312
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: Oh my, So he's not catching up to the one

313
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: up here, all.

314
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: Right, and he's gonna he's gonna keep trying to get

315
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,280

00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: the diet at this point in your life to kind

325
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: of keep you fresh throughout a whole season? And what

326
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,040

Speaker 2: Yeah?

328
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing for me is just you know,

329
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 4: this year, especially playing out there every day, especially in

330
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 4: left field, has just been you know, sticking on all

331
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 4: the proteins and just recovery. It's been more recovery than

332
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 4: I've ever done in my career. And you know, just

333
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 4: a lot of protein cars before the game and then

334
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 4: you know, hydrating up and getting ready for the next day.

335
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 4: Especially right now we're on this East Coast swing and

336
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 4: and the heat and humidity has been has been tough.

337
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 4: So yeah, recovering more than ever and being conscious what

338
00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 4: you're putting in.

339
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,000

Speaker 4: just the behind the scenes. He's been a ton of

385
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 4: fun to play with. Obviously, playing against in the Minnesota

386
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,800

387
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,360

Speaker 1: That's a very different player from you.

399
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,680

00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 5: Just I couldn't. I couldn't do it.

401
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 4: I watched him in the cage and it's impressive. But

402
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 4: I think i'd be out this league pretty quick if

403
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 4: I tried to.

404
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:34,160
