1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,759 Speaker 1: What do you get when you combine a three time 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: manager of the Year at a three time National Sports 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: Writer of the Year, Well, you get the most illuminating 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: and interesting podcasts in baseball. It's the Book of Joe podcast. 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: Hi there, I'm Tom Berducci from Fox Sports, MLB Network 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: and Sports Illustrated, and this is Joe Madden and I'm 7 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: really eager to work with Tom on her upcoming project here. 8 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 1: It's based on a book that Joe and I have done, 9 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: which is available wherever you buy your books. And I 10 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: will start up by just talking about a particular moment 11 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 1: in my life. Send you guys the story, and that 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: really honestly helped me as as a coach and a 13 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: manager and just a father and a husband too. It's 14 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: it's it's crazy when you're asked to do that really 15 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: get done into your emotions and a deeper version of 16 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: your thought. It really caused me to think on a 17 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: level that I have not really challenged myself on in 18 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: a long time. Well, Joe, you're known as an incredible manager, 19 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: of course, the manager of the Chicago Cubs that broke 20 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: at one and eight year old curse. But we'll talk 21 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: about what it takes to prepare are a team for 22 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: the postseason. What's the difference between winning and losing in 23 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: postseason baseball? It's different from the regular season and anything 24 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: else going on in the game. For instance, how about 25 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: the m v P race in the American League. Aaron 26 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: Judge with a new American League home run record at 27 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: show Hey, Otani, a guy you manage has his own 28 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 1: argument to be the m v P. I really do 29 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: believe it's a tie. I don't know how you can 30 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: differentiate from one performance or another, and we could talk 31 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: about that more deeply, but what Aaron has done is 32 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: absolutely pertinent to the Yankees being in the playoffs and 33 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: doing as well as they did. Show ag team has 34 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: not arrived at that point. But people have to understand 35 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: when you pitch at his level and hit at his 36 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: level simultaneously, that just doesn't happen, and it's not gonna 37 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: happen again for a long time. It's pretty it's not 38 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: pretty unique. It is the most unique thing you've ever 39 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: been to see in sports. Well, I'm looking forward to 40 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: it as well because it probably will not be just 41 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: about baseball. Knowing that I got Joe Madden here, we 42 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: gotta mix in, some food, some cars, some rock and roll. 43 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: If show Hey Otani you were a classic car, what 44 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: would he be? Man, He's got to be something that 45 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: could do at all. It's gotta be a comfortable ride, 46 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: but could really blow you off the line too. I mean, 47 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: I'll put him in my healthcat. I've seen your healthcat. 48 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: I've seen show Hey run down to first base and 49 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: they've seen him throw a hundred miles an hour on 50 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: the mound. So I think that's a good call. I 51 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: like a good old USA make right here. I just 52 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: really digging on my my dodge job. Really looking forward 53 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: to this podcast, and hopefully if you're a fan of baseball, 54 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: or maybe not, just a fan of a good listen. 55 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: Listen to the Book of Joe podcast twice a week 56 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 1: on the I Heart Radio app, on Apple Podcasts, or 57 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts.
