It's always good to be here in 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 3: spring training, you know, you're at that point now. I 10 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 3: think guys are kind of getting eager to get back 11 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 3: to Texas and get the season going. You know how 12 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 3: spring training goes. Pitchers and catchers get there, you're excited, 13 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 3: and after a day of that, they want the full 14 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 3: squad and they show up and now you get the 15 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 3: games going and halfway through that, let's go. And that's 16 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 3: that's kind of where we're at right now. 17 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 4: I think, Boach, I'm just not used to seeing you 18 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 4: because normally when I see you, you're in your recliner. 19 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 4: You have like so if you go into a Boach's 20 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 4: office in Texas, so sorry that we don't have a seat. 21 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 4: He just sits there and he crosses his legs like this. 22 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 4: He's got his hat. He's like, yeah, a question. 23 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 5: He's like, oh, oh, I don't know. We're going to 24 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 5: get through this year. I don't know, guys, I don't know, 25 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 5: but you guys have a good team this year. 26 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 3: We do, we do. We We really are expecting a lot, 27 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 3: a lot out of ourselves here to bounce back and 28 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 3: get back to the postseason. See why. He's done a 29 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 3: great job of, you know, just bringing in some resources here. 30 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 3: You I mean guys like Berger and Peterson. I think 31 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 3: our offense is going to get back to where it 32 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 3: was in twenty three. I love the rotation. Yeah, we 33 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: had a little bump in the road yesterday, but got 34 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 3: good news on those guys. I'm talking about Malley and Bradford. 35 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 3: We may miss Bradford for I don't know, two three weeks. 36 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 3: We don't know yet, but we don't think it's serious 37 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 3: at all. And uh, you know, we get some veterans 38 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 3: in the bullpen that can help us out. So yeah, 39 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 3: we're really excited about the club. I'd love the vibe 40 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 3: and camp here. It's a great group. So it's it's 41 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 3: been really really good, you know, so far, I think 42 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: we're swinging the bats. 43 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 6: Well, now, what did you learn about yourself last year 44 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 6: that you didn't know after you retired, you came back, 45 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 6: you rode the high of the World Series, and then 46 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 6: last year you guys struggled as a team. What did 47 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 6: you learn that You're like, an, I wish I had 48 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 6: been able to fix this or that before last year. 49 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I've learned that after a World Series, 50 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 3: they might as well give me a time out and 51 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: send me off for a year here because it didn't 52 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 3: go too well last year. But you know what, Yeah, 53 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 3: and we we did everything we we could do that 54 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 3: we thought would keep being any kind of complacency from 55 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 3: setting in or you know, over working guys, and uh 56 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 3: and we actually got off to a good start. 57 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 5: You know. 58 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 3: We we did get hit by injuries. I know that's 59 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 3: an excuse, but you lose guys like Young and Carter, 60 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 3: that's a blow to your offense. Uh uh. But bottom 61 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 3: line is we didn't play as well and it just 62 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 3: goes to show you how hard it is to win 63 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 3: a championship. A lot has to go right. I mean, 64 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 3: you guys have to have their normal years and you 65 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 3: got to stay away from the injuries and hopefully get 66 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 3: a surprise or two. And uh, you know those things 67 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 3: didn't happen happened. 68 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 5: For us last year, So you guys should win this year. 69 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 3: Right, I think so here. 70 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 4: Every other year, yeah, ten, twelve, fourteen, and now twenty three, 71 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 4: twenty five, guys, we should start printing the rings now. 72 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you on that. Do you know what? Well, 73 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 3: you know, we we got work to do, there's no 74 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 3: getting around it. I mean we we didn't even make 75 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 3: the postseason last year. So you know, guys are they've 76 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 3: been humbled, they're hungry and uh and they're they're getting 77 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: after it here this spring and uh, before we break camp, 78 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 3: we still have some work to do. And I'm just 79 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 3: looking forward to, you know, seeing this offense go this year? 80 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 4: Why what what is it about with you and every 81 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 4: other year? Like in San Francisco? You would have thought 82 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 4: you would have learned how to. 83 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 3: You would have thought, I'm with you, you would have. 84 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 4: It's such a weird thing to me because I lost 85 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 4: you in fourteen in the LCS. You guys went on 86 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: on one, your third one there what and then Texas 87 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 4: you guys came back with what you thought was another 88 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 4: good club. They obviously injuries took place, But why is 89 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 4: it so hard in baseball to go and do it 90 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 4: a second year in a row. 91 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 3: Again, it just shows you how hard it is a 92 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: winning championship. But I think as much as anything, it's 93 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 3: it's just it's just the grind of winning the championship. 94 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 3: And that's why you don't see a lot of teams 95 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 3: bouncing back and doing it back to back years. You're 96 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 3: playing to November first. Jonah Hine, for example, you're a catcher, 97 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: and you know, let's he grinded pretty hard and did 98 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 3: a catch up with him. Maybe you know, we we 99 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: were concerned about that halfway through the season, if I 100 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 3: was over playing them or I was anyway, but really 101 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 3: all the guys and there's the thing, and Corey Seger 102 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: mentioned this, he said, you know, because you know, I 103 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 3: for they won the first part of the season. You 104 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 3: still have the hoopla, you still have all the excitement 105 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 3: from the fans, they're raising the banner, you're getting your rings, 106 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 3: and they're still playing in front of pack crowds. That 107 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 3: goes away. So at that point you got to find 108 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 3: a way to get yourself up. And so that was 109 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: my concern. And like I said, we got off to 110 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 3: a good start and then we kind of flatlined, and 111 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: you know, we lost Dolly there for a while. I mean, 112 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: he really had a tough year. This guy was doing 113 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 3: all the damage. You know, Corey was coming off that 114 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 3: hernia's surgery. I think he went like two for forty 115 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: something to start the season. So you know, things again, 116 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 3: they have to you know, they have to go right 117 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 3: for you and you guys have to have their years. 118 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 3: And it just didn't happen. But we talked about a 119 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 3: lot last year before the season, We talked about it 120 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 3: in the first team meeting, and so we felt like 121 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 3: we covered all the bases that we needed to cover, 122 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,239 Speaker 3: but we just couldn't get on track. 123 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: Krats, do you like spending an on grocery shopping? 124 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 6: Nope?

Lined up for the Rangers? 150 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 3: Well right now, lighters do on the ball very well now. 151 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: Was a little bit off with his command yesterday, but 152 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 3: he's really really I think just grown as a picture. 153 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 3: So he's a guy I think we can watch now. 154 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 3: Burger's been around. It is our first time having him. 155 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 3: This guy, I love him He's a baseball right, just 156 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 3: like Josh Young. That's all he does. It doesn't golf 157 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 3: or anything. He just wants to play baseball. And he 158 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 3: can impact the ball. I mean, a big power. So 159 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: I'm excited about him. Of course, Peterson, you know, he 160 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 3: he's just doing a lot of damage. He's a winner. 161 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: He's got a couple championships under his belt. So but 162 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 3: young guys, the guy who's probably making the most noise 163 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 3: in camp is this so soon? That man. He it's 164 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: just he's doing everything and I don't know if he'll 165 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 3: break with us, but if he doesn't, I see him 166 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 3: at some point helping us during the season. He's a ballplayer, 167 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 3: can play all three outfield positions. He's really excited everybody. 168 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 3: A couple of back end guys tooto. I know we 169 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 3: sent him down, but he's going to be up helping 170 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 3: us power arm. We're not going to start him this year. 171 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 3: We're going to keep him in the bullpen. He's ninety 172 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 3: eight to a hundred with a good slider and this 173 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 3: smart church. He's making a lot of noise in camp. 174 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,719 Speaker 3: As you know, we lost our closer last year and 175 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 3: our setup guys. So these guys could come into play 176 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 3: for us. 177 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 5: Nice. 178 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 4: You love the bullpen. You love bullpens. You're one of 179 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 4: the best I've ever seen bullpens. 180 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 3: Well, we got to work this year out because. 181 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 4: One thing Bruce Bochi always figures out is how to 182 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 4: run the Bullpeny, that's never a worry with you. You 183 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 4: mentioned Jock, you mentioned Berger, you mentioned the Dolies. One 184 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 4: of the big things. I don't know how many It 185 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 4: felt like I was part of the Rangers broadcast grew 186 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 4: because I did so many of your games last year. 187 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 4: But we kept talking about it, and we had to 188 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 4: ask you about it all the time. I got to 189 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 4: ask you about again the fourteing fastball, right, Well, Berger 190 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 4: can hit a four seamer, Jock can hit a four steamer. 191 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 4: A Dooleys has always hit a four steamer. Some of 192 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 4: these other guys that all you know, Simeon and Secret 193 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 4: always hit it. For some reason, last year they were down. 194 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 4: What do you do to make that better? 195 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it is something we have talked about quite 196 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: a bit. Donn Hick or our hitting coach, you know, 197 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: he and I have talked about it. See why all 198 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 3: of is you know, I think it's work. You know, 199 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 3: in the cage. I think it's it's looking at velocity. 200 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 3: I think sometimes we get caught in the looking for 201 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 3: the breaking ball and Duran for example, I mean in 202 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 3: twenty three he saved as Seeger went down, and all 203 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,479 Speaker 3: of a sudden, he's not catching up with the fastball, 204 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 3: and so we're kind of changing our routine. They have 205 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 3: this new machine for jack. I don't know if you've 206 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 3: seen it with the Yeah you put your picture up there, 207 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 3: but yeah, a lot of teams are using it, but 208 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 3: we have it now. We're using it so we can 209 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 3: the velo and just try to shorten things up. I 210 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 3: think sometimes guys get caught into power, they get along 211 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,599 Speaker 3: with the swing. You know, the high fastball, you you 212 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 3: got to lay off it, DOLDI had a tough time 213 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 3: laying off it last year. So hardest pitcher hitting baseball 214 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: I think is high ve low fastball up high and 215 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 3: uh so you know, part of its discipline. A lot 216 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 3: of things come to play. But you're right, that's an 217 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 3: area we got to get better. Almost all the teams 218 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 3: attacked us with us, you know, with the fastball, and 219 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 3: so I think you'll see a better fastball hitting team 220 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 3: this year, especially with the two guys. You mentioned Berger 221 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 3: and Peterson. 222 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,559 Speaker 4: Jacob de Gram's coming back for you guys this year. 223 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 4: What's your realistic expectations for starts and innings. 224 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 3: Well, if you talk to Jacob, and I'm gonna go 225 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 3: with that, he's playing on making all the start, So yeah, 226 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 3: we're gonna watch him or we're gonna honor that you know, 227 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 3: extra day I put him on six days. Yeah, he 228 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 3: looks really really good right now. We have slow played him. Uh, 229 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 3: he's we We're going to pitch him tomorrow in Scottsdale, 230 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 3: but we're supposed to get rained, so we're gonna pitch 231 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 3: him here for three innings and uh we're probably you know, 232 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 3: I'm not probably. We're gonna have him in the back 233 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 3: end of the rotation to start the season. So when 234 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 3: he goes in there, we have those days off. So 235 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 3: for the first five starts, he'll have that extra day, 236 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 3: and uh, just try to watch his workload because he's 237 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 3: a key, you know for our success. We know it, 238 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 3: and it's we've got to take care of him and 239 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 3: try to get as many starts as we can. Now 240 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 3: during the season, we have to skip a start or 241 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 3: or put him on the eye out of you know, 242 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 3: the miss a couple of starts to keep him fresh, 243 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 3: We'll do that. 244 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 4: Is it more important for him to get those starts 245 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 4: early or you guys are expected to make a run 246 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 4: of the postseason, you'd rather you'd rather have him healthy 247 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 4: at the end, right than kind of the beginning. That's 248 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 4: where the slow plane comes in. 249 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 3: Exactly exactly we we want him at to tell in 250 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 3: if we are we're doing what we want to do, 251 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 3: what we need to do, we'll need him at the 252 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 3: back end. You need your horses in as you know, 253 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 3: when you get to the postseason, and and you need 254 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 3: him fresh. And uh, yeah, he's missed a lot of time. 255 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 3: It's been a while since he's locked him ending. So 256 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 3: that's kind of the thinking there, keep them fresh, and 257 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 3: then maybe times during the year where we do skip 258 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 3: him a couple of times just to keep him going. 259 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 4: All right, one of your ex players is now president 260 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 4: of baseball ops in your old place, San Francisco. Is 261 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 4: he going to be a good president? He's gonna be 262 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 4: a great president. What are you expecting out of Buster 263 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 4: Posey taking over? And did you think that one day 264 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 4: he would be the front office guy? 265 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 3: You know, I didn't think about it or think that 266 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: there would be something that may interest him. I didn't, 267 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 3: you know, it's not something we talked about. I always 268 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 3: said if he wanted to manage, he'd be to be 269 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 3: a heck of a manager. But I didn't see him 270 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 3: going that route, to be honest. But now now looking 271 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 3: at it, he's gonna do a great job. I think 272 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: you're seeing it already. I mean there's the vibe there. 273 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 3: I know when we saw him earlier, I think, you know, 274 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 3: the guys are going to love him. You know, he's 275 00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 3: a guy that can come down there and talk baby 276 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 3: fall with him. He just has he just has a 277 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 3: great feel for the game, and he's going to be 278 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 3: very relatable to the players. He's gonna be around and 279 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: he'll be accessible. Coaches are going to love him, and 280 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 3: so he's he's going to do a terrific job. I'm 281 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 3: happy for him. I'm glad he's in the game. I 282 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 3: think he's great. He'll be great for the game, great 283 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 3: for the city. You know, I beloved he is. But 284 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 3: more importantly, I mean he sees the game in a 285 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 3: different way. We we don't win championships without him leading 286 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 3: the way. And now they got him as their leader. 287 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 3: He'll do a great job. 288 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 4: I love X players when they get in the front office. 289 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 4: You have one here, Chris, Chris Young.
