And you 185 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 8: know that it's it's a very different feeling being the 186 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 8: manager rather than a player winning that award. 187 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 5: Steven, Obviously, when you get to be named manager of 188 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 5: the Cleveland Guardians, you're not thinking about to coming manager. 189 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 5: When was the first time it hit you that this 190 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 5: award might be a possibility. 191 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 8: Well, for anybody who knows our bench coach associate manager 192 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 8: now Craig Alburn, as he was telling me all year long, 193 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 8: you know, joking with me, you know, well, when you're 194 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 8: a Manager of the Year, you can do whatever you want, evidently, 195 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 8: you know. So it was kind of people were talking 196 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 8: about it, but to be honest, I didn't think about 197 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 8: it really until this World Series was over and the 198 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 8: awards started to like come up, And then when I 199 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 8: saw I was a nominee, I was like, oh, it'd 200 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 8: be really cool if I could win that. But you know, 201 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 8: you don't think about that while you're going through the year. 202 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 8: You're just trying to keep your head down, keep the 203 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 8: guys rolling. And we were fortunate enough to have a 204 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 8: really good season. 205 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 2: What was the toughest part of keeping your head down? 206 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:39,079 Speaker 4: What was the. 207 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 6: Toughest part, because you when we talked to your on 208 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 6: the show before earlier this year, we talked about how 209 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 6: you were kind of preparing to hopefully be a coach 210 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 6: manager someday, maybe a GM, who knows. 211 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 2: But what was the toughest part. I think the. 212 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 8: Toughest part was just navigating each day. You know, you 213 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 8: go through you go through a season as a player. 214 00:08:58,360 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 8: When you get to the field, you know what you 215 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 8: need to do in order to go be ready for 216 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 8: the game. Then you go home at night, you go 217 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 8: through your day. You do like the two or three checklists. Okay, 218 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 8: I need to work on this, hitting this, this is 219 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 8: my lift tomorrow. I know what I'm gonna do, and 220 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 8: then you just go to bed. As a manager, you 221 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 8: got seventy people that you go through the checklist right 222 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,679 Speaker 8: before you go to bed, and throughout the day, every 223 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 8: single time somebody comes into the office, those are the 224 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 8: most important five minutes of the day. So it's just 225 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 8: the toughest part is being on and being there and 226 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 8: navigating each day. And then you get to just go 227 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 8: watch baseball and it's the best. 228 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 7: So when you go to spring training, because you're going 229 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 7: in like two weeks, are you walking in with this 230 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 7: trophy above your head and saying, nobody talk to me 231 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 7: unless it's spoken to because I have this award. 232 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 8: Well if I apologize, because if you want moy plates 233 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 8: in Washington State, they're gone.
