And he's 69 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 3: actually got. 70 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: Me when I was with the Pirates, so I got 71 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: to get him back in some way, and so he'd 72 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 2: probably be the top of the list. But I mean, 73 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 2: any of those guys, it'd be fun to just have 74 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 2: that little, that little thing over him to mess with 75 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: them a little bit. But all in all, I mean, 76 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 2: just try and get my ground balls like I normally do, 77 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: and then sometimes I get a punch hup. 78 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 5: Now, I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I don't 79 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 5: think they're opening the gates up like they are opening 80 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 5: the gates for the Phillies. The Phillies sold out just yesterday. 81 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 5: They sold out for their inner Squad today. Would it 82 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 5: make it a little more exciting a little more fun 83 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 5: if you guys were sold out, if there was fans 84 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 5: just packed in America Family. 85 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 2: Field, Yeah, I definitely think it would be It would 86 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: be different. I think it'd be really fun. I know 87 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: our fans, you know, are the best. They would do 88 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 2: something like that. However, you know, our leadership thought that 89 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: doing what we're doing right now, be together as a group, 90 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: you know, being a team with you know, and really 91 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 2: you know, keeping each other, holding each other accountable, was 92 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: kind of the best way forward. And we're really enjoying 93 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 2: this time to like you, like we've been saying, is 94 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: to compete and get a little uncomfortable, put ourselves into 95 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: situations that you know are hard ones to navigate, whether 96 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 2: it's you know, second and third, nobody out bases loaded 97 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: with one, first and third, all those things, and so 98 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: we're able to control a lot more. But certainly having 99 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 2: some fans there would be an interesting factor, even though 100 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 2: it doesn't really you know, there's nothing on the line, 101 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 2: seeing seeing what they start cheering for and whatnot, it 102 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 2: would be kind of fun. 103 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 4: You know, front Row Amy would be there keeping score. 104 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 4: So let's also make sure that we know that front 105 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 4: would be their keep score with their scorebook, even though 106 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 4: she'd still be there. 107 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 3: Well, can you get. 108 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 4: Into your Yeah, I mean, if you don't know who 109 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 4: front Row Amy is, just googler anybody out there and 110 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 4: you'll know she's a legendary Brewers fan. Can you go 111 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 4: into your story a little bit about you were a 112 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 4: first round pick with the Pirates, you get traded to 113 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:03,679 Speaker 4: the Red Sox. 114 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 5: Now you're traded. 115 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 4: What was it like coming up with the Pirates and 116 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 4: then boom, oh man, I'm on. 117 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 3: The Red Sox. 118 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 4: Wow, look at me? Go and you're thinking, all right, 119 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 4: I got a chance from the Red Sox and then 120 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 4: they shift you to Milwaukee and now here you are 121 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 4: in the playoffs. I mean, you have two shots at 122 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 4: the playoffs this year. But what was that journey like 123 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 4: from you from thinking I'm gonna be a pirate for 124 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 4: life and now I'm Red Sox and now I'm a Brewer. 125 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a whirlwin. 126 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 2: It was crazy and to be so yeah, you know 127 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: at the end or in the twenty twenty four deadline 128 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 2: is when I got moved. I'd made my debut with 129 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: debut with Pittsburgh and like, really thankful for that organization, 130 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: just give me a chance. Obviously a ton of my 131 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: development within the minor leagues, have a ton of great 132 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: relationships over there, you know, up and down the Org. 133 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 2: And then things definitely didn't go the way anybody wanted 134 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: them to in the major leagues. Just was really inconsistent, 135 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 2: trying to find my footing, trying to find some confidence. 136 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: And then when I was moved to Boston, you know, 137 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 2: was optioned back down to Triple A, started to throw 138 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: a little bit harder with just a little some of 139 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: a couple like mechanical adjustments that were super easy and 140 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: athletic to kind of make that change. And so I 141 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: started to throw a little bit harder, and as I 142 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: did that, you know, I started to command the ball 143 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 2: a little bit better. And then I started to feel 144 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 2: this confidence start to kind of come back in a 145 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: way where it's like, oh, man, I'm doing what I 146 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: want to more than not, and so now I can 147 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: actually pitch and I can do use sequences because beforehand 148 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: just didn't feel like I was commanding the ball where 149 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 2: I wanted to, and so I was trying to execute sequences, 150 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: but I wasn't executing it. I wasn't executing them, so 151 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: it didn't really matter, you know, kind of what I 152 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 2: knew or what I was taking into the game if 153 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: I wasn't executing it. And then that's just kind of 154 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,679 Speaker 2: what we've hammered as soon as I got traded to Milwaukee, 155 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: certainly something I didn't expect at the beginning of the year, 156 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: you know, didn't make the team out of camp with Boston. 157 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 2: Was really you know, definitely disappointed, but used it as 158 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: fuel to keep going and to keep you know, working 159 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: the processes that you know, I felt a lot of 160 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 2: confidence in and then you know. 161 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 3: I got traded to the Brewers. 162 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 2: It was a huge surprise, but it was cool being 163 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 2: traded so close to home, just being an hour and 164 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 2: a half south of American Family Field. I get a 165 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 2: ton of family to be able to come to games 166 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,559 Speaker 2: on off days and be able to go home. 167 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 3: Me and my fiance are able to go home, so 168 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: we're both from that area. And then and then we 169 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 3: just hammered the execution of things here. 170 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 2: You know, how many times can we get our sinker 171 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 2: down in a way, can we get the cutter to 172 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 2: the top rail, can we get the slider's back foot 173 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: and under? And rather than kind of focusing on the 174 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 2: velo and the stuff of things, you know, trying to 175 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 2: let the iPad tell us what's good versus, hey, did 176 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: we execute a pitch and are we on time? And 177 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 2: then once that became the focus, and then winning games 178 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 2: became the focus rather than the stuff, I felt like 179 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: I was just really able to be free and really 180 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: compete on the Major league mound versus trying to tinker 181 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 2: and fix things. 182 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 5: Talk about hooky, talk about the pitching coach and what 183 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 5: does he bring a different than the other. While it 184 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 5: was small snippets of big lea pitching coaches, what does 185 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 5: he bring because you know the vernacular, you're using sinkers 186 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 5: down below the zone, you know, the cutter to the 187 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 5: top rail. All that stuff is quintessential Hooky. Does he 188 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 5: bring something different in a way that he tells you 189 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 5: how to do something or continues to encourage you and 190 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 5: make you a better pitcher. 191 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. 192 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: The thing that always like impresses me is we're when 193 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: we're throwing a bullpen and he's not looking at the catcher. 194 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: He's just watching me and and you know, I'll miss 195 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 2: the ball arm side and he'll be like, you know, 196 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 2: he'll know immediately where it missed without even watching the ball, 197 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: just by watching you know, the body. And in the past, 198 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 2: I've had pitching coaches who you know, are holding the 199 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: iPad to see what the track men saying and and 200 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 2: you know, kind of referencing those things. Throughout my career, 201 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 2: I've also had coaches who and Hook's definitely one of 202 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 2: the guys that is really worried about the mechanic, like 203 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: the being on time and making sure we're getting to 204 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: the right spots in our delivery and knowing that if 205 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 2: we do that, then the iPad is going to show 206 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: what we wanted to show, and so we don't really 207 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: need to look at it as long as we're on time. 208 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 2: And when it's so focused on the body and so 209 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: focused on being on time, you know, I feel like 210 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: that allows my athleticism to kind of come through more 211 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: than if I'm trying to focus on a shape or 212 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 2: a you know, a number. And I feel like that's 213 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: one of the bigger things. And then obviously, you know, 214 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 2: every day, just holding us accountable to doing the little things. 215 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 2: You know, he's out there during our throwning programs and 216 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: even subtle differences. Hey, you know, you're you're tapping your 217 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: back foot, and it's some things that I don't notice 218 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: that they're kind of happening subconsciously, that he's able to 219 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: kind of essentially put the bumpers up if you're bowling, 220 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 2: and so it's like, hey, all right, bounce right back 221 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 2: to the middle. Bounce right back to the middle. He 222 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 2: doesn't he doesn't let us get too far away from 223 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 2: what's been working and what's what's you know, really good 224 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: what makes us major leaguers. 225 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 4: Quinn, are you a field guy? 226 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 5: Then? 227 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,719 Speaker 4: Does that make you a field guy instead of an 228 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 4: iPad guy, because it's awesome. It's refreshing to hear someone 229 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 4: say the coach doesn't just stare at an iPad. So 230 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 4: are you a field guy, like when you throw a 231 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 4: bullpen are you more of a oh that felt really nice? 232 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 4: Or are you one of those guys that has to 233 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 4: grab the iPad and go, oh, it has twelve point 234 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 4: seven inches of inverted vert so I know I was 235 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 4: a little bit off or can you can you feel it? 236 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's something that has been a change this 237 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 2: year that I think is again freed me up to 238 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 2: be competitive with a hitter rather than with myself on 239 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: the mound. 240 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 3: And yeah, like you're competitive with yourself over the week. 241 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 2: But sometimes I'd be in a bullpen session and I'd 242 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 2: throw a pitch that, you know, it's a change up, 243 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: that's a ball, you know, not competitive, and and we're 244 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: coming over like, hey. 245 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 3: That one was the best one. It's like you no, 246 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 3: it wasn't. 247 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 2: It's a ball. Nobodys swinging at that. It's a bad pitch. 248 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 2: I don't care what the iPad says. And so and 249 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 2: then also it gets frustrating when people, you know, when 250 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: you when you throw a pitch and it's your body. 251 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: You're like, no, I can't repeat that, and then it's like, man, 252 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 2: this is look at this, this is exactly what we want. 253 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 2: It's like, well, I can't repeat that, So it doesn't 254 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 2: matter that that's what we want. Now it kind of 255 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: feels like what we're trying to do is a lot 256 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 2: more difficult than it really is. Like it should feel 257 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 2: it should feel athletic, it should feel smooth, and it 258 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 2: should feel explosive, and regardless of what the iPad says, 259 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: like all year, the hitters have been tonas that that's 260 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 2: it's playing late. 261 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 3: And so you know, it's definitely good to keep an 262 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 3: eye on things. You know. 263 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 2: Sometimes you know your slider can start to have more carry, 264 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 2: and you're gonna want to fix that because you know, honestly, 265 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: that's just going to improve how you can get to 266 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: that down in the way spot. If it carries, it's 267 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 2: going to stay up, you know, versus when it feels 268 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: the same. But using the iPad in the right way 269 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: been huge for me, but which is honestly not using 270 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 2: it a lot at all. 271 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 5: Are you the nicest person on earth? Or do you 272 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 5: put the best songs on the radio or something? Nineteen 273 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 5: straight wins. I mean, when it's Queen priesterday, the boys 274 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 5: just say, you know what, we're gonna hit, We're gonna 275 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 5: score more runs than the other team, and we're gonna 276 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 5: go out and get this w nineteen straight. Is that 277 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 5: just like a weird number to you or is it 278 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 5: something that you're like, yeah, I can see it because 279 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 5: everybody likes me. 280 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 2: I don't think it's because everybody likes me. You look 281 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 2: at it, and there was there's a couple of games 282 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 2: in there. There's a game in Miami where the offense 283 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: really really picked me up. I I, you know, lost 284 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: a ball over the first baseman's hat and kind of 285 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: let them start a rally. And then also against the Mets, 286 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 2: I gave up six and four and the offense comes 287 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 2: back in Nica cons hits a walkoff homer. 288 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 3: And that's just the kind of team we've been all year. 289 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 2: And certainly there's been games where you know, I've I've 290 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 2: contributed to the win more than others. 291 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 3: But I think, you know, one, it's a matter of 292 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 3: you know, the dice kind. 293 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: Of rolling your way, and and then also you know, 294 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 2: just being consistent, being sticking to our process, and and 295 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 2: also you know, staying within you know what we do well. 296 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: I think you know, times where strikeouts start to go up, 297 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 2: it's it is what it is, you know, that's. 298 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 3: Not happening because I'm chasing the strikeout. 299 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 2: I'm the most aggressive in the zone when I'm trying 300 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 2: to get out with every pitch. And and I think 301 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 2: a lot of times getting the offense back in the 302 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 2: dugout happens quicker if you're getting balls in play. 303 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 3: And and then when we're playing. 304 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,719 Speaker 2: As good as we were and as good as we are, 305 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 2: you know, just getting those guys you know who are 306 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 2: who are you know, ready to hit back in the 307 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: dugout and off their feet, but also ready for every 308 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 2: ball is just something that's just the way that I've 309 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: found success to help our team win. And you know 310 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 2: that might change as the future goes, but right now, 311 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: that's what it is. And and I trust every single 312 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 2: guy that that plays defense behind me, and and I 313 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 2: want the bomb play. 314 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 3: I want them to, you know, help me out. 315 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 4: Hey, Quinn, A couple of things, you guys, you guys 316 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 4: have family trips, right with the Brewers, you guys have 317 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 4: family trips.
