But what Pa has been able 4 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: to do this entire season has propelled us so much 5 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: further than what everybody thought.

I'm throwing next Monday, right, and like everybody 43 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: just kind of laughs at it and stuff. But I mean, 44 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm working my tail off. I mean, the first Timy 45 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: John I had in twenty seventeen, I was back in 46 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,639 Speaker 1: game action at like seven and a half eight months, 47 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: was back into afhiliate in nine or ten months. So 48 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: I mean when it comes to rehab, I work really 49 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: hard at this stuff and want to be back playing 50 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: with the team, especially the way they're playing right now 51 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: and stuff. But yeah, I mean, everything's going great. 52 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 5: I got a two parter first for it sounds like 53 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 5: you rehab. You like to work hard, but you don't 54 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 5: like to necessarily not be on the mount. I believe 55 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 5: I saw a video maybe your wife took it. You 56 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 5: were in your you were in your brace, and you 57 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 5: were pacing in front of the TV watching the Cubs game. 58 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 5: And I distinctly remember that. By the way, I also 59 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 5: had Tommy John at twenty seventeen and it took me 60 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 5: sixteen months. 61 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 4: So hip the Caps. 62 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 5: I guess, first question, who. 63 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: Did your surgery? Meister did this one, and then doctor 64 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: Grizzload doctor Grizzlod did the first one. Who's the Cubs 65 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: doctor in twenty seventeen? Gotcha? 66 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 5: Uh so yeah, Keith Meister also did mine, So good 67 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 5: good luck trying to speed that timeline on. That guy 68 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 5: is maybe one of the one of the most intense 69 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 5: people I've ever met. But my question is, what is 70 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 5: the hardest part about going through this process, especially again, 71 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 5: especially in the big leagues with how good the team is. Like, 72 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,239 Speaker 5: what has been the most difficult part of going through it. 73 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: Probably just being away from the team and also not 74 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: being able to do like normal activities that I like 75 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: to do, Like playing video games is something I like 76 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: to do all the time, so I haven't been able 77 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: to do that. Really, I've really been getting into collecting cards. 78 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: That's something I've been able to really get into. But yeah, 79 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: I mean the hardest part is being away from the 80 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: team by far, And you know, I just want to 81 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: be in the locker room with the guys, even if 82 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: I'm not able to play, just you know, picking spirits up, 83 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, telling people good job and whatnot. That's by 84 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: far been the hardest part. But there's also been a 85 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: lot of positives' you know, watching my son grow up, 86 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: taking him to school each morning or summer school or whatever. 87 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, there's there's negatives and positives. So you 88 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: just got to weigh it. 89 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: Justin can you explain to the people out there and 90 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 3: explain it to me. You didn't have full Tommy John 91 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: this time, correct, You had like a did you do 92 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 3: the bracing or did you do something even different? 93 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, so the UCL repair from my first one. The 94 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: tendon or ligament was still in good, good shape where 95 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: it connects to my form muscle, my form flexer. Both 96 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: of them came off the bone together, so he had 97 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: to go in and put a brace on the bone 98 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: and then like wrap it around. He showed me a 99 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: picture of all of it. It was I have a stomach. 100 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: I have a week's stomach when it comes to that stuff. 101 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: And he was like very excited to show me, and 102 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm write out of surgery.

But it was. 105 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 5: Quite He's got a notebook, he's got like he's like 106 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 5: you want to take. 107 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: He's excited, he's excited to show you. 108 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 5: It's like a favorite thing to do surgery. And you're like, dude, 109 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 5: that was me six hours ago. Like I don't want 110 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 5: to see that. That's hilarious.

You guys had to start 174 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: your season a little bit early in Tokyo. Do you 175 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 2: think that was difficult for you? I know you can't 176 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: really put any math to it, but is it worth 177 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: even asking someone like your doctor, Hey, can something like 178 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: that throw me off? 179 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 4: Or is this something that was going to happen regardless. 180 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: I think this was something that was gonna happen regardless. 181 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: I think I've kind of been dealing with it for 182 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: a while. I've had some aisle stints in the past seasons, 183 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: and it was the same thing that I was feeling, 184 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: and I think it's just gradually gotten obertime. And you know, 185 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: the moments before this one, we were just kind of 186 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: doing what we could to maintain it and you know, 187 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: keep me pitching and stuff, and yeah, this time it 188 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: just kind of got to a point where, you know, 189 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: it's the beginning of the season. Do we really want 190 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: to push it six more months and whatnot? But yeah, 191 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: I don't think the Tokyo series had, you know, any 192 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: bearing on it. 193 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 2: If you're a card collector, even if you're not, and 194 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 2: you just want to find a new way to collect, 195 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: Arena Club is the spot. AJ just opened up a 196 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: slab pack. He screen recorded on his phone so you 197 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: can all see what he just experienced. 198 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 4: Take us through it. 199 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 6: It was simple. 200 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 3: I just clicked on which slab pack I wanted, clicked 201 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 3: by now boom, bought it card.

I know that 222 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 5: it gets old after a while. I'm sure you've talked 223 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 5: about it quite a lot recently. So I actually have 224 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 5: a pitching question because, to be honest, when I watch 225 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 5: you pitch, I am fascinated. The way I try to 226 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 5: like figure out what type of pitcher a guy is 227 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 5: is by looking at the metrics on the pitches, and 228 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 5: you are kind of an outlier in that it seems 229 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 5: like you have variations of all of your pitches, so 230 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 5: correct me if I'm wrong. When you are going out 231 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 5: and like, for example, your slider, you have the one 232 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 5: that's bigger the one that's smaller, the one's a little harder. 233 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 5: Are these are these different grips or is this just 234 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 5: like slight adjustments you're making in the grips to get 235 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 5: that get the type of pitch you're trying to do, 236 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 5: because it seems very very purposeful, like sometimes it's the cutter, 237 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 5: sometimes it's slider, even though they move similarly, just it 238 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 5: seems like you're doing it on purpose. Is that? Is 239 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 5: that what's happening. 240 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: When things are going well, I'm doing it on purpose, 241 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: Like when I have command of all my pitches, if 242 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm in a groove and know where everything's going, Like, yeah, 243 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: I'm doing it on purpose. At that point, there's definitely 244 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: outings where you know you're a pitcher, we definitely don't 245 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: have our best stuff. Sometimes I'm just trying to throw 246 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: strikes and you know, make competitive pitches, and you know, 247 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: you definitely have your outings like that. But definitely, when 248 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: I'm in the zone and stuff, I'm there's a lot 249 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: of intent behind what I'm doing. It's the same grips. 250 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: I'm just manipulating the ball in different ways, kind of 251 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: just having when you're in a groove, you have like 252 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: maximum feel for your pitches and stuff. So just depend 253 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: on what the hitter's telling me, where's swing pass going. 254 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: The catcher's also paying a lot of attention to what 255 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: he's doing, Like if we're constantly busting them in with 256 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: my forcing cutter on the inside part of the play, 257 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: talking about rieties, you know, they're wide open, they're looking 258 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: for the slider, the cutter. You know, let's just go 259 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: to the other side of the plate, back door the cutter. 260 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: It looks like it's a mile off the plate, ends 261 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: up coming back fresh strike. I mean, obviously, like I said, 262 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: this is when you're in a groove and you're feeling good. 263 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, there's definitely some intent behind it, you know, 264 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: taking taking some miles per hour off the slider to 265 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: get him more out in front, throwing a harder one 266 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: to make it look more like the fastball, and all 267 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: that tunnel and stuff. So just a bunch of nerd stuff. 268 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 3: Justin when I watch you pitch, you remind me of 269 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 3: John Lester pitching. Did he help you with anything? Did 270 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 3: you kind of formulate your game around what he did? 271 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 3: Because I caught him and he was heaters in heaters 272 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 3: in heaters in cutters in cutters in and then like 273 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 3: you said, once he got the right he's especially looking 274 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 3: for that pitch. Then he would go to the back 275 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 3: door cutter of the slower curveball and heck, eventually he 276 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 3: even threw some changeups which were unheard of. 277 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 6: So did he did? You kind of put your game 278 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 6: out there and say, man, John Lester is a. 279 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 3: Great role model for what I can do. 280 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: Well. Not long after the Cubs drafted me, they signed 281 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: John Lester, So I was watching a lot of him, 282 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: you know, pitch with the Cubs in the big leagues 283 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: and stuff. So I mean we're very similar, like in 284 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: our athleticism or arm path how we pitch and stuff. 285 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 6: You can throw the first, you can throw the first. 286 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 6: You can throw the first. 287 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 5: Got that on him? 288 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 6: You're one up. 289 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: It's not it's not great. 290 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 6: No, you can do it. You can't do it though, 291 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 6: So you're one up on Johnny. 292 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: Oh man, that's funny. But yeah, I mean, just watching 293 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: him coming up through the my leagues and stuff, I 294 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: definitely took a lot of what he what he did 295 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 1: and implemented it into my game. And once I got 296 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: to the big leagues. You know, he was always texting 297 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: Rossy Collin Rassey and you know, giving his input on 298 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: what I should be doing and stuff. And I remember 299 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: when I first got to the big leagues, he uh 300 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: got a hold of Rossie and was like, hey, you know, 301 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: I like what Stewie's doing. Just come to like pound 302 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 1: the fastball in and then it will unlock everything else. 303 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: And that was about the time I kind of took off. 304 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 6: Nice. 305 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 3: Nice, all right, you mentioned you watch all the Cubs games. 306 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 3: They just played the Mariners. Cal Rawley's the hottest dude 307 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 3: on the planet right now, hitting homers. 308 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: Not being talked about enough. 309 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree he should be MVP. Diff definitely a discussion. 310 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 3: But when you're watching these games, you're pacing around, are 311 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 3: you going don't throw. 312 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 6: That pitch because he's gonna go deep again? Don't know. 313 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 6: You gotta get it in, you gotta get it way 314 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 6: off the plate in there. 315 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 1: I'm not guilty of that. I will say that. I 316 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: would say there's more of like I talk about the 317 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: intent of pitches and what I'm wanting to do and stuff. 318 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: But just because like I'm kind of what Trevor was saying, 319 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit different as a pitcher than most 320 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: what I would throw is not what most people would 321 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: throw on certain occasions now, like with Jamo for instance, 322 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: Like I know jim O pretty well, Like I know 323 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: when he's gonna throw that back door cutter before he 324 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: throws it, so like that kind of stuff, Like I'm 325 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: I can tell when he's about to throw it, or 326 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: he's gonna throw the slider and stuff like that. So 327 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: in that capacity, I. 328 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 2: Do, Okay, I'm gonna go right to another MVP caliber 329 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: player in show Heyo Tani, because I think that you 330 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 2: were into trying out to way status if you ended 331 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 2: up going to school. 332 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 4: Do I have that part right? 333 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: Yeah? I was going to college. Do both? 334 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 4: Okay, So what's your appreciation level? 335 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 2: And do you monitor or keep track of what Showhy's doing, 336 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 2: because obviously it's so unique, But to me, it's not 337 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: just the two way. It's that he's coming off all 338 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: these surgeries. There's nothing for them to point to, and 339 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 2: I feel like most of the time they're just like, hey, 340 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 2: what do you want to do? 341 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 4: Do an inning? All right, we'll do an inning in 342 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 4: a real game instead of a SIME game. 343 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: Well, you got to think about with him, it's hard 344 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: for him to like get to a minor league affiliate 345 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: and like do rehab starts. I was actually thinking about 346 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: that because I was like, why are they just going 347 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: straight to him like one inning start, one inning opener, 348 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: or whatever the way they did it. And I was like, well, 349 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: I guess it'd be really hard to like send him 350 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: to a minor league affiliate or somewhere else to get 351 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: the work done. Like one if people catch window that, 352 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: it's going to be a circus because he's literally one 353 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: of the biggest athletes on Earth right now. And just 354 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: to kind of answer your first question, know that, I mean, 355 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: he's the modern day Baby Ruth. He's the greatest player 356 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: we've ever seen. We've never seen somebody do what he 357 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: does at this level, and the hardest thing is staying healthy. 358 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: Like that's the thing that's most impressive about what he's doing, 359 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: is he's when he's able to do both sides of 360 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: the ball. Staying healthy is by far the most impressive 361 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 1: thing that he's doing when he's able to do that, 362 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: because I only throw every fifth day and it's hard 363 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: to stay healthy, Like it's one hundred and sixty two 364 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: games is such a long season, and for me, that's 365 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: by far the most impressive thing about it. 366 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 6: All right, justin I got to ask you for Misissippi. 367 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 3: My daughter went to Mississippi State, so I have a 368 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 3: little bit of insight here, even though I have a 369 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 3: Florida shirt on. Now, your dad played football at Alabama? 370 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 6: Who do you rootless? Because I need to know. These 371 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 6: are the questions that I need to know. Who do 372 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 6: you root for? 373 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm a diehard Bama fan. I don't root for Mississippi schools. 374 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 3: Oh, okay, is that weird growing up Misissippian rooting for Alabama. 375 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: I mean everybody where I grew up knew who my 376 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: dad was and stuff, so knew the explanation already and stuff. 377 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: But I mean, yeah, definitely going to school, you know, 378 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: in high school and stuff, the rivalries and whatnot, it 379 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: was it was always interesting. College football is religion where 380 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: I grew up, so it's a big deal. 381 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 3: Of course, these Northerners, they don't get it. These people 382 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 3: from New Jerseys, you just don't understand. It's different. It 383 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 3: just it just means more, as they say in the commercials. 384 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 3: But yeah, I've been to a few Alabama games and 385 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 3: it is an unbelievable sph. 386 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 6: I've been to the Iron Bowl, a few times. It is. 387 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 6: I was an Alabama LSU two years ago. It is. 388 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 6: It is one of the best atmospheres in the world, 389 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 6: and if you haven't been to one, you gotta go. 390 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 6: So I needed to know that.

That guy was throwing 398 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: like one hundred miles an hour. So I'm really excited 399 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: to see what he can do. 400 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're gonna see it in the outfield. 401 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 2: I mean, he made a sick catch other day too 402 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 2: against the wall, but we're gonna at least get to 403 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 2: see the canon in the outfield. 404 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 3: And just please be at Florida State. Please please have 405 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 3: Alabama be Florida State opening week, please, because the quarterback 406 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,719 Speaker 3: FORFSU was already talking smack and I saw that and 407 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: I'm not a Florida State fan. My my wife went 408 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 3: to Florida State, so we have arguments, but please just 409 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 3: win Week one. 410 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 6: After that, it's all. 411 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: Good, Okay. 412 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 2: I got one fan question here on chap BCC. Lance 413 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: asked how fun has it been watching Pete Crow Armstrong. 414 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 2: I mean, to see his rise obviously has been insane. 415 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 1: We're we're just talking about Otani being MVP caliber. I mean, 416 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: in my opinion, I think is the favorite right now. 417 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: The way he's playing where the Cubs are at, Like 418 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: adding Kyle Tucker obviously puts you in a great position 419 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: to you know, win a division and stuff. But what 420 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: Pa has been able to do this entire season has 421 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: propelled us so much further than what everybody thought it 422 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: was going to. I mean, he's playing an MVP caliber 423 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: D fence. He's the best defender on earth. Like, I've 424 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: never seen someone play the outfield the way this kid 425 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: plays it. And the pat is obviously coming around. He 426 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: has twenty one homers already anyways, a Bucks seventy, So 427 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: like the hype on him needs to continue to go up. 428 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, you look at him and you're like, oh, I 429 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 2: mean he's got a lead speed. He's going to be 430 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: a slap hitter and just get on base all the time. 431 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 2: It's like, ah, no, his power is insane. 432 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: What past Chicago athlete would y'all compare him to? 433 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 4: Bringing the others, especially a j as. 434 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 3: Far as as far as Derek Rose, Dereck Rose comes 435 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 3: to my mind. No, I don't do that because Derek 436 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 3: Rose his career ended abruptly, Like that's what I was 437 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 3: thinking of it before. 438 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: More like, yeah, he was electric, true, true dynamic. 439 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 3: Yeah I was gonna yeah, yeah, I can see that. 440 00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 6: But just listen. 441 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 3: I've been clear for him to win MVP the whole 442 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 3: year since it started, So I'm behind you on that one. 443 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 6: Listen. Everyone's already's like show, hey, show, hey. 444 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 3: This and that, But I'm like, listen, PCA with what 445 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 3: he does on defense is unbelievable, and if he keeps 446 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 3: swinging the bat, it's it's incredible, No doubt. 447 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 2: I got one more than Trevor will finish. You were 448 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 2: on the Marquee broadcast recently, so we're seeing some pictures 449 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: pop up on games. I know Garrett Cole was on 450 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 2: the Yankees broadcast the other day. How was that experience 451 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 2: for you? And I know we're years and years away, 452 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 2: but do you ever have any broadcast thoughts on your mind? 453 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 4: For post career. If not, what would it be. 454 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: I don't know. I definitely enjoyed doing it, especially, you know, 455 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,719 Speaker 1: just going back to Chicago, visiting everybody, saying hello to everybody. 456 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: It was nice, getting on the broadcast and doing that 457 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: and stuff. I don't know if it's something I would 458 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: do in the future or not. It just depends on 459 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: how everything plays out and stuff. But I'll keep that 460 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: door open. I guess love that. 461 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 6: Love that so much. 462 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 5: It's fun. It's fun, especially when you get to talk 463 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 5: about pitching all the time. It sounds like you like 464 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 5: talking about pitching, so maybe there's something out there. Although, uh, 465 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 5: let's talk about the cards real quick. You mentioned you've 466 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 5: been collecting cards a lot since surgery. Is this is 467 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 5: this Is this a hobby you already had or is 468 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 5: this like, Hey, I'm going all in on this. 469 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 6: Yeah. 470 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: So, my dad, my brother, and myself used to collect 471 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: cards when we were growing up. We would always go 472 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 1: to the local flea market when we were kids and 473 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: get cards that way, and then obviously buying them at 474 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: Walmart and stuff.
