1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: They get out the clubhouse quick when they win, and

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: then when we lose, we sit around and we soaking,

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: And I think that clubhouse needs to develop a culture.

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: Right Hell FGM, we're at Matt's Cam Ron Mabon Kratz,

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: Pete Kratz take it away for a sac intro the

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 2: big Man to start the show.

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 3: I mean, who needs an intro? Who needs an intro

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 3: less than Pete Alonzo the home run derby champion. But

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 3: I'm excited he's on because Todd's not on, Like I figured,

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 3: you only came home when Todd was on with us.

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 4: No, I mean you guys. You guys do a great job.

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 4: It's always a fun time. And also it's it's nice

13
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 4: uh and also Cam's a former teammate as well, so

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 4: it's it's good having former teammates on.

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 3: Well, I didn't I didn't know that. That's my bad.

16
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: That's my cam my cam teammate status. I don't know

17
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: because he played for too many teams, so I didn't

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: realize that, So my bad, Cam. Welcome back.

19
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 5: Hey, it's good left.

20
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: Never left, So I guess is that welcome back never left?

21
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: Just feel like it was. It's a welcome back. When

22
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 3: you come back in the clubhouse and the guys see

23
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: you or they text you when when the contract went down.

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 4: Well, it's just uh, I mean, this group of guys

25
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 4: is great. I mean there's constant dialogue throughout the entire offseason.

26
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 4: I mean it's good to have that from uh, not

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 4: just like teammates that I've had for a couple of years,

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 4: but teammates that I've had my entire time of my

29
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 4: tenure here, So from guys new and old. It's it's

30
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 4: really it's really good to have that consistent dialogue, not

31
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 4: just from teammates but coaches and staff as well. So

32
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 4: to have that respect, rapport and connection over the years,

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 4: it means a lot.

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 3: It's awesome.

35
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: Hey, Pete, I want to ask you, you know, as

49
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 4: I'm thinking I'll still have my same spot.

50
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: Do you want to push do you want to push

00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: hit it all.

56
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: Yes, he gets mad, but everyone gets mad when they're not.

57
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: Okay, good good, good good.

58
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 4: But all you need to do is just say, hey, Jeff,

00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 3: Love it, love it.

63
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 5: Hey real quick, P. So I want to ask you

64
00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 5: about that.

65
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: You talk about guys like, yeah, who I love he's

66
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: a grinder And of course you guys you know, acquired

67
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: Juan Soto this offseason, and as that was going on.

68
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 5: I was a guy that you know.

69
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: Felt like you were extremely undervalue value production. You know,

70
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: I look at things from ceiling and floors, and I said,

71
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, everybody looked at last year as a down

72
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: here for pet Alonzo, where I looked at it as

73
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: Pete's floor. You know, if that speaks floor, that's a

74
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: pretty nice floor. When you talk about adding you back

75
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: to the fold and back in the mix, you know,

76
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: I asked, I asked Cratzy, you know, how was the

77
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: vibe around camp? But I would ask you, you know,

78
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: when you come back in there, I think all of

79
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: a sudden, even adding one solo, now you add Pete

80
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: Alonzo with Juan Soto, how are you feeling it? How

81
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: are the vibes around camp? And you know, the confidence

82
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: within the guys.

83
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 4: I mean, vibes are great. I mean I think that

84
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 4: adding one is huge because I mean, playing against him

85
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 4: for the past six years, I mean, the dudes a

86
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: ball are like we all know that. I mean, he's

87
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 4: a game two, game changing type player, and uh, playing

88
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 4: against him for for the past six seasons, it's like

89
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 4: you're just tired of You're tired of seeing him hit

90
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 4: that have that game winning hit or the making that

91
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 4: that big play in the field. I mean, you're you're

92
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 4: you're tired of seeing it because I mean, he's just

93
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 4: that good on a night in a night out basis.

94
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: So for us to have him on our side, man,

95
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 4: it's it's such a huge help. I mean, obviously adding

96
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: him is a huge U is a huge thing. But

97
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 4: adding like some some key components like Sean and Iya Back,

98
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: I mean that guy is a great, great clubhouse guy.

99
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 4: Adding some some starters. I think, uh, Clay Holmes, I

100
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 4: mean having I mean having him go deep into games

101
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 4: with his uh, with his reports while I was gonna

102
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: be insane. Did you did you catch him at all

103
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 4: when you were with the Yankees?

104
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: No?

105
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 3: No, And I missed him with the Pirates too. I

106
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: like we just like we went parallel. He kept following

107
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 3: me by.

108
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 4: Right, I got you.

109
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: I didn't get to.

110
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 4: And I mean and other guys that we've other guys

111
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 4: that we've made off obviously, and young guys too that

112
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 4: have had some great contributions at the end.

113
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: Of last year.

114
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 4: And I mean I think that for us, like with

115
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 4: the group that we had in the New Editions, I

116
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 4: think it's get We're gonna have some good things cooking

117
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 4: this year because you have a good mix of experienced

118
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 4: guys and young and hungry guys and all the new

119
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 4: all the new guys are mixing well with the people

120
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 4: that were here last year. So it's been a great

121
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 4: camp so far. I mean, vibes have been have been great,

122
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 4: and everyone understands their assignment.

123
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 3: I can attest to that. I can attest to the

124
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: vibes because we've been I've hit four camps before. This

125
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 3: is the fifth one this week. Your vibes are they're

126
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: real careful orioles vibes are pretty good too. So I'm

127
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 3: just saying, and that was a rainy day. This is

128
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: a nice day. So anyway, right, what's the one thing?

129
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 3: Because you you get a different view. Some outfitters never

130
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: get a close view of Wan Soto. Want Soto comes

131
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: the first base, which you did often, Yes, being in

132
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 3: the NL East. Yes, what's the one first thing? One

133
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: thing that you're like, now you're a team of mine,

134
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: I'm kind of like, WHOA Like some dudes they get

135
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: in your locker room and you're like, dang, that dude

136
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: is taller, this dude works harder. Is there something with

137
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: one that you're like, I didn't know that in the

138
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 3: short stint that you've known him.

139
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: Honestly, it's just been it's been a a short few weeks.

140
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 4: But the thing, it's didn't really discover anything new. It's

141
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 4: just confirmed everything. I mean, just his consistency, whether it's

142
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 4: routine work, ethic, just intensity and day to day work.

143
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 4: Like his consistency. That's why he's so dang good. Like

144
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 4: I mean, that's I mean people wonder why or wonder how,

145
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 4: it's it's the consistency and the routine. It's the consistency

146
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: and the whether it be in the training room or

147
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 4: the or the gym, the cage or the backfield doing

148
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 4: defensive work or footwork or what have you. But just

149
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 4: consistency and that that stuff, Like you kind of know

150
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 4: that he's doing that stuff because it shows up in

151
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 4: the game so often. I mean, you can't do the

152
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 4: little things behind the scenes and not show out. I mean,

153
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 4: the game's too fast and people are too good. So

154
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 4: it just reconfirmed everything is the consistency. That's I mean,

155
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 4: that's his secret.

156
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,240

Speaker 1: We know what you know, Juan Soto's gonna do. Who

181

182
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: see or you or in your eyes you go if

183
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: this guy can get it right, if he can figure

184
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: it out, man, nobody's thinking about what he could do

185
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: for our lineup.

186
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,599
Speaker 5: Is it Is it a Brett Bady? Is it a

187
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 5: a Kunya? Like?

188
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: Like, who's who's a guy in camp that we're not

189
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: talking about that you that you're going If this dude

190
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: can figure it out, we will be even better than expected.

191
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: Well, the best way I could describe it, it's not

192
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 4: necessarily uh figuring it out. I would just say, find uh,

193
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 4: find who they are and hold on to it for

194
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 4: as long as they can, like I think, I think

195
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: like for certain guys that think I'll be I think

196
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 4: Alvi Viento's Beatty Acuna, all those younger guys. But again,

197
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 4: I honestly I think uh. I mean, we talked about

198
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 4: it earlier in the show but I think, uh, I

199
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 4: think Jeff. I think Jeff is going to have an

200
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 4: unbelievable year this year, just like the amount of tension

201
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 4: of detail work he's put in with his with his

202
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 4: swinging and defensively, and there's gonna be a lot of

203
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: other guys that are gonna make some really really big

204
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 4: impacts for us as well. But also another guy, uh

205
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 4: Louis Torrence. His swing has look absolutely fantastic. I think

206
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 4: he's gonna make a tremendous impact for us as well.

207
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 4: I think our our two, our two catchers are going

208
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 4: to make a huge, huge impact this year. I mean

209
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 4: having catchers that rake is huge and those guys, those

210
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 4: guys are gonna surprise a lot of people this year

211
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 4: with their bats.

212
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 3: Can you tell us what went on with that last

213
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: meeting that finally pushed you over to sign back with

214
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 3: I think it was did you guys have dinner?

215
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 4: No, it's just no, we we met. It was a

216
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: my obviously Scott and uh, David and and Steve and I,

217
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 4: so we just I guess previously I never really got

218
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 4: like a look behind the behind the curtain or necessarily

219
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 4: a full understanding of the like I guess the the

220
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 4: in depth philosophies, the vision for the future, because for me,

221
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: like I, when you go through and play for an organization,

222
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: once you get called up, you're yes, you you're a player.

223
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 4: Like you get little nuggets here and there, but you

224
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 4: don't get necessarily the full picture of the full playbook.

225
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: And I think it was just discussing everything, the full

226
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 4: vision over over the next not just this year, but

227
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 4: the next couple of years. And I think having that vision,

228
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 4: having that knowledge and and just the I guess kind

229
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 4: of like the the philosophies, the fabric of the organization,

230
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: the consistency from from top to bottom, whether it's uh, staff, players,

231
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 4: gameplay philosophies, certain things like that. I mean, uh, not

232
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 4: gonna go too far in depth with that, but I

233
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 4: just wanted to have a like a mastery of understanding

234
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 4: of it all and to get on the same page

235
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 4: as as David and obviously Steve and I have had

236
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: rapport and relationship before, but to get that in depth

237
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 4: conversation with David and just visions for the future, I

238
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 4: think that was the super important for me. And again

239
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 4: I'm I'm very yeah stoked to be back, and I

240
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 4: think we're going to do great things. I mean you

241
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 4: look at the lineup. I mean this year it's I

242
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 4: mean where you go from the depth of pitching, the

243
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 4: bench guys and and just every day guys like our

244
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 4: I think this guy's limit for us, So I really

245
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 4: do What did you order?

246
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: What did everybody order? Like, we want to be in

247
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: those meetings because we're never going to be good enough

248
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: to have a meeting where they talk about that like owners.

249
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 3: Owners barely knew my name, like the what the depth

250
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: of the organization is going to be, So we got

251
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: to at least know a little like what did.

252
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 4: You Well, it wasn't it was in we had there

253
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 4: was potential order food, but it was like there was coffee, water, tea,

254
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 4: and like a couple of sodas in case anyone wanted,

255
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 4: you know, I have to have to have a variety

256
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 4: of drinks for a meeting. But but it was it

257
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 4: was pretty much a It was about a three hour

258
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 4: meeting of just like just dialogue, so three hours with

259
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 4: no meal. I mean, they everyone came prepared. It was

260
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 4: it was strictly business. They were after the meeting. They

261
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 4: were welcome to stay. But of course Steve and David

262
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 4: are busy people, and and they could be hungry.

263
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 3: I know they're not as big as you, but you

264
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: can't go three hour You had to have at least

265
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 3: a little snack.

266
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, nothing. Not thinking when it comes to business,

267
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: it's business time. It's business time. Okay, I appreciate that.

268
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: Yes, So what do you talk Do you talk to

269
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: Mendy about where you want to hit behind Wan? Where

270
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: you want to hit in front of one? Be like Wan?

271
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 3: I like, look, I could hit in front of wand

272
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: let wand drive me in.

273
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 4: I mean, whatever Mendy wants to do. I mean, it's

274
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 4: his it's his team. And for me, like I've I've

275
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 4: hit the middle of the order my whole career, and

276
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 4: as so long as I'm in the middle of the order,

277
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 4: I'm I'm and I'm swinging at good pitches and having

278
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 4: good at bats. I mean, good things are going to

279
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 4: happen over the course of the year. So wherever wherever

280
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: Many decides to write me.

281
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 5: In speaking of that, that leads me right into it.

282
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: Pete talking about Mendy at opportunity to play under Many

283
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: when he was the bench coach.

284
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 5: For the Yankees.

285
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: You guys, I don't want to say stole a great

286
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: player from the Yankees and one Soto. But I also

287
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: think Mendy's you know, his personality, his character. Had quite

288
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: a few managers now right in your early career. What

289
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: makes him different? Because I believe that he is a

290
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: leader of men. I believe that he takes time get

291
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: to know individuals. But can you speak on from your

292
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: experience having previous managers, what makes Carlos different?

293
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 4: Well, I guess there's one overarching common thing of all

294
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 4: the manager I've had. It's their their hunger and their

295
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 4: appetite for the game and wanting to win on a

296
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 4: consistent basis and checks that box. But the one thing

297
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 4: that Mendy has done a great job at is communicating

298
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 4: with guys. And I think just the he he believes

299
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 4: in his guys, And what I think he's done a

300
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 4: really good job at was stay the course because New

301
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 4: York obviously like with the media and liked our zero

302
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 4: to five star and we had our our like really

303
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 4: bad rough patch, I mean going from eleven games under

304
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: five hundred and then having our run in the postseason.

305
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 4: What he did on a day and then that day

306
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 4: out basis was he he was accountable. I mean he

307
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 4: he preaches on accountability every day and he I mean

308
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 4: he wore it, and he was accountable for from kind

309
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 4: of like everything that was going on earlier in the year,

310
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 4: and he was just hell bent on getting better and

311
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 4: believing in his staff, believing in what we had going on,

312
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 4: even though things weren't going our way. So his his

313
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: relentlessness and and his accountability, I think we're the keys

314
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 4: to our success last year because that that trickles down

315
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 4: from uh from the top and Uh, I think I

316
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 4: think that was he was definitely at the forefront of

317
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 4: the accountability aspect and the and the enduring and during

318
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 4: the storm and and and trusting in our guys.

319
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 3: Last one from me playoffs last year, At what point

320
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: did you believe you guys are gonna win the World Series?

321
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 4: I mean, the when you go from I'm gonna go

322
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 4: to Atlanta that that day where everyone else was was

323
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 4: done with baseball and we had to fly back from

324
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 4: the so we had it felt like a game one

325
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 4: sixty three, but so we finished up in Milwaukee. Then

326
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 4: we had to go to Atlanta and play the last

327
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 4: two two games of the season when everyone else is done.

328
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: I mean that was I mean it felt like that game,

329
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 4: that first game of the doubleheader, from going up early

330
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 4: then us, I mean it was just like this Seesaw game,

331
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 4: and then after we tied up, Iggy ties it up,

332
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 4: Francisco hits that bomb. I think the next ending after

333
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 4: after they retake the league. I think that moment that

334
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 4: kind of carried our momentum into the postseason. It's like, wow,

335
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 4: like this is this is magic. Like this, you couldn't

336
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 4: write a better script for us, like getting in when

337
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 4: it wasn't even the last day of the season, like

338
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 4: we extended the season one extra day. I think, like

339
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 4: us winning that game, it's like we won the tie

340
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 4: break and then I just the way how it all happened.

341
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 4: It was just like such a surreal feeling, like like

342
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 4: being able to Champagne shower and then going to going

343
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 4: straight to Milwaukee from there, I mean, it was just

344
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 4: Seesaw cease and then just felt like the momentum just

345
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 4: kept tipping on our side at the last, at the last.

346
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 4: And so I think that Atlanta, that Atlanta series, after

347
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 4: we won that first game in the doubleheader, I think

348
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 4: it's like, wow, this is this is the start of

349
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 4: something magic, and we and we believed it.

350
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: And now you get to do do it again.

351
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 4: We gotta earn it. We got to earn that right.

352
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 4: I mean, there's nothing like postseason baseball, but you gotta

353
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 4: there's a reason why there's one hundred and sixty two games,

354
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 4: and you got to earn that right to go get

355
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 4: there and play that fun baseball at the end.

356
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 7: Of the year.

357
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: Pete, Yeah, appreciate you.

358
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 4: Thanks thanks Fellas.

359
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 7: F T.

360
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: Great read to you.

361
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 7: Pete.

362
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:34,240
Speaker 2: You're the man, all right, f T. Let's charge the

363
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 2: damn Mount Krat's good to see you. Let's go over

364
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: a few things from yesterday. This one will tug at

365
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 2: your heart strings.

366
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 7: Okay.

367
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: Jake Berger Homer yesterday with his four month old daughter

368
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 2: penelopees hospital band. She went underwent successful open heart surgery

369
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: earlier this week. So we're thinking about the Burger family

370
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: and young Penelope.

371
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 7: But also.

372
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 2: You guys are one of f you that can speak

373
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: about this crats whether you've experienced any type of hardship

374
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: and then had to play ball or been around any

375
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: of that, how do you put it into words? Because

376
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: the average human tries to take off from work or

377
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 2: does something else to be able to counter this and

378
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: in baseball, I don't really get that much of a

379
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: break from spring training through the end of your year.

380
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: I mean the most I think you can take off

381
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 2: without it being like a true personal leave. The whole

382
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: deal is I think three days during paternity leave is

383
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 2: what you're allowed.

384
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: There's definitely family emergency type of stuff, but sure like

385
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 3: you go through the same thing. But people forget I think,

386
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 3: is you go through the same things that everybody else

387
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 3: goes through. Death in the family. My grandfather died right

388
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 3: before Game one of the World Series, my only time

389
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 3: ever in the World Series. I remember one time I

390
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 3: got a call in the middle of a game that

391
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 3: my daughter fell and hit her rib and was getting

392
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 3: sent to the emergency room. I got. I got pulled

393
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 3: out of a spring training game because my son back

394
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 3: in two thousand and nine No. Twenty ten, was being

395
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 3: rushed to the emergency room at a hospital. And all

396
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 3: this stuff is happening when you're not there. When you're

397
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 3: not there, like, yes, people can be at work and

398
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 3: it might take you forty five minutes to drive home

399
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 3: from work, but all this stuff is happening when you're

400
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: in another city or or you might even be in

401
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: your home city where you're playing, but it's still another city.

402
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: Like Milwaukee is not where I lived, Kansas City is

403
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 3: not where I live, So all that stuff, like think

404
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 3: of it. We go through the same things and then

405
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 3: the next day you have to go out and perform

406
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 3: at the highest level. The picture never says, Okay, we're

407
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: going to ease off a little bit because Jake's daughter

408
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 3: just had open heart surgery, like and like it's it's

409
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 3: it's hard to explain unless you've been in that exact situation,

410
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: but you'd still you still have to perform. There's know,

411
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: your teammates feel for you, the manager feels for you,

412
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 3: but they can't they can't take away what is going

413
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: on inside your heart and your chest in your mind,

414
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 3: and that's what you have to fight through as a player, unfortunately.

415
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and to just add to e K's point, you know,

416
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: I felt so many different emotions when I heard the story.

417
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: You know, one my heart went out, you know to

418
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: Jake is you know we are you know, Eric and

419
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: myself are fathers and we have kids and I have

420
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: a daughter, and.

421
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 5: You know, I thought about how cut.

422
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: Throat the business is, right, and a part of me

423
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: thought about it from a standpoint of just like Krats

424
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: kind of looted to not only does he have a

425
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: heavy heart, but this is how these guys provide for

426
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: their families. And Jake Berger is a guy who you know,

427
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: essentially is you know, I call him a grinder, and

428
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: that means a guy who he has to go out

429
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: to fight for a position, right, And you know, with

430
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: this going on, you know, with a heavy heart, he

431
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: knows at the same time he probably has to get

432
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 1: because there's somebody else who you know again who we

433
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 1: may feel for what's going on, but somebody's always trying

434
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: to take your position. So I had so many different emotions.

435
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: I also thought, how amazing of a wife. You know,

436
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: does he have to say, good babe, go back to camp, right,

437
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: because I don't think that's just a Jake Berger decision.

438
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: I think when you're married, you have a family. These

439
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: are things that you consult with, you know, with your spouse.

440
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: You know, should I go back, should I say screw it?

441
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: Should I take whatever comes my way and stay with

442
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: you guys? But I think you know a testament to

443
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: her strength for probably encouraging him to get back to working.

444
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 5: And lastly, you know a lot of people do things.

445
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: Outside of work or outside of their normal activities to

446
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: kind of give them a sense of peace. And for

447
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: a lot of athletes, you know, whether it's football, whether

448
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: it's basketball. For me, you know, playing baseball was you know,

449
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: the place where I felt most at peace when my

450
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: world was the most chaotic. So I think also to

451
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: him getting back and playing baseball was a part of

452
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: him helping him cope with what is going on, because

453
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: you know, most guys that played this game, they we

454
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: play it because we love it. The money is great,

455
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: but we started playing it because we had a passion

456
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: for it. So I think also too, it was a

457
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: way for him to just breathe for a second and

458
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: be able to cope with what's going on right now.

459
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, incredible, incredible. It's not just coming back just

460
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: to come back and play. And obviously it's spring training

461
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: so whatever. I mean, he's a veteran, he's got a spot.

462
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 2: But to come back and then hit a homer, you know,

463
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: there's a lot going on. But anyway, thinking about the

464
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: fam most importantly, So let's try and get to a

465
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,719
Speaker 2: couple of other highlights here. Bobby wit junior, first stinger

466
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: of spring training, just getting in the flow. That's all crazy.

467
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: Getting to be an MVP. Yeah, only a runner up

468
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: last year.

469
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 3: Cam.

470
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know that meet.

471
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 1: You know, your your wife tells you to take that

472
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: meet out the freezer, and you forget.

473
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 5: He's just throwing out spring training. It's all. He just thought.

474
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 5: He's thrown out. He's gonna be just fine.

475
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 3: Come on, Cam, you ain't got no steaks in the freezer.

476
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 3: You don't freeze out.

477
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 5: You're only eating state.

478
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: But you know, every once in a while, man, you

479
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: buy a bulk and you got to throw some in

480
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: the freezer.

481
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 5: Man, you know it happens. Bobby Wittter thawing out like that,

482
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 5: that meat in the freezer. He's good. I'm excited. I'm

483
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 5: excited break what the Royals continue to do.

484
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: Well, there's one part of Bobby wits game. Wait, there's

485
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 2: one part here. I just remember this that I think

486
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: he spoke about yesterday. You know, when you're that good

487
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 2: and then you're trying to figure out how you can improve.

488
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 2: I didn't look at the stat but it did come

489
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 2: to mind. So he brought something up that I think

490
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 2: you guys will find interesting. So Cam, he basically said,

491
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 2: I'm paraphrasing here, he shouldn't be caught stealing as often

492
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: as he is because he's so damn fast. Thirty one

493
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 2: stolen bags last year, caught twelve times. A year before that,

494
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: forty nine stolen bags actually led in caught stealing that

495
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: year fifteen, And I think the percentage actually was technically worse.

496
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: Last year actually stole thirty one backs and got caught

497
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 2: twelve times. So if we want a nitpick and find

498
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: something wrong with a top five player in our sport,

499
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 2: he pointed it out, you gotta love that, right, He's like, damn,

500
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 2: I'm too fast to be.

501
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 7: Caught this often. Let's fix that.

502
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 2: Absolutely we can actually focus on in spring training and

503
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: be like, all right, let me talk to the analytic staff.

504
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 2: Let me talk to the coaching staff, and be like,

505
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 2: here's my goal. Forty plus bags, five caught stealing or less.

506
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 5: Go, So I'll toot my own horn.

507
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: The best I ever, you know, best best I ever

508
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: had was forty forty forty for forty four, but also

509
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: had guy named Dave Roberts and a guy named Ricky Rizria.

510
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: And when you talk about analytic departments, right, these were

511
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: my analytic based running coaches. And one thing they did

512
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: extremely well. Is they would take me into the video

513
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: room and we would watch pickoffs the first when guys

514
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: go home, when they come set. Like how guys sometimes

515
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: even when they come set, they come up different when

516
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna pick or go to home. So even now

517
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: when you add this clock in and to play in

518
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: guy's brains, yes, we're getting used to it, but every

519
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: once in a while the game can still speed up

520
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: on guys. I think Bobby Wett needs to go in

521
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: that video room. His analytics department needs to take a second.

522
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: Whoever the guy is in there and he needs to go, Hey,

523
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: give me every slide step, every pick, the first, every

524
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: pitch the home where he can start to find these tendencies.

525
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: It's real, especially now with this clock. I know guys

526
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: are getting your routines when they go home when they pick.

527
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: So I think just being a little bit more of

528
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: a student of the game and the other thing when

529
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: I watched Bobby with I believe he could get a

530
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: little bit more on his lead. I do think there's

531
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: another step out there that he can get and I

532
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: think he'll.

533
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 5: Continue to get better.

534
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: But he's absolutely right, he's too fast to get thrown

535
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: out that much. And again, accountability is where it starts.

536
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: Sometimes you just gotta go too. Rusty Koontz was the

537
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 3: epic base running coach slash first base coach for the

538
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 3: fourteen or fourteen and fifteen team with the Royals, and

539
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 3: he stowed a lot of coaches just little stuff like

540
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 3: Cam was talking about. People were like, well, what is

541
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 3: Cam talking about? What Cam's talking about is dudes tipping

542
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 3: if they're picking over And if you can get that read,

543
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 3: I can get a stolen base like and I was

544
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 3: slow as dirt. So you sit there and you go

545
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: Bobby Wit. Bobby Witt increases his efficiency. But sometimes when

546
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 3: you try to increase your efficiency, you become like, I

547
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 3: don't know if I can quite make it. But learning

548
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 3: that little stuff that I'm sure he's been taught, but

549
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 3: now like seeing it on his own, that's how you

550
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 3: up that efficiency. And you get thrown out less and

551
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 3: you still take you actually take more chances.

552
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: And I don't know, like sometimes I get conflicted on

553
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to tail and with secrets I'm to

554
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, allow out there right, I can tell it all.

555
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: So also too, this is important. It's not always about

556
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: the player. I had a guy named Ron Renicky. Ron

557
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 1: Rennicky was the best third base coach I ever had, Cratzy,

558
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: and he would help me when I got the first base.

559
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: He had this little tip where he would stand off

560
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: the back of the picture and whatever he saw, he

561
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: would just look to the outfield, and I knew that

562
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: I knew the guy was going home. So he was like,

563
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: whenever you see me, look to the outfield, and it

564
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: might be late, stay on me. But because you can

565
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: see you're watching the picture and you can see that

566
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: third base coach right off the back of him, he's

567
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: riding your peripheral.

568
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 5: I mean I must have reled off.

569
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,239
Speaker 1: Twenty to twenty five in a row, right, like that

570
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: little cat and mouse game, whether the catcher was tipping

571
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: when something was coming home or what. He had something

572
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: where I literally knew every time I stole, and it

573
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: was like twenty four in a row. He probably can

574
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: look it up something crazy in seventeen where it was

575
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: just like I knew the pitcher was going home. So again,

576
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: it's not just it's always it's about the people around

577
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: you as well as the point. You know, Bobby Witt

578
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: is a great athlete, but sometimes it's coaches, you might

579
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: get do a little bit more to help your team out.

580
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: HM, Cam you said it, and I called a team

581
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 3: out last year about Hey, you know what, some coaches

582
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 3: are gonna have to pick some stuff up when veterans leave.

583
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: This is the kind of stuff that, like you have

584
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 3: to pick up. This is the kind of stuff I

585
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 3: do that what you just talked about. I do that

586
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 3: with my high school team. You can't do it with everybody.

587
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 3: But you're talking about let's say a left he's a left,

588
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 3: he's looking at you. Well, that lefty comes set up here,

589
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: you can see if this dude's you know, gripping that

590
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: big curveball. You can see different stuff. Now if the dudes,

591
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: if it's a righty and he's looking directly at the

592
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 3: third base coach every time he comes set in the middle.

593
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: You can't see that from first, but you can see

594
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 3: it because he's looking directly you and you just I

595
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 3: had I had a manager in triple A because he's

596
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 3: a third base coach. You're just doing open hand. You're

597
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: just doing open hand. He's like, I'll just bend down,

598
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 3: and he's like, trust me. There has to be a

599
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: trust there because you're not seeing it yourself. There has

600
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 3: to be trust, and that, to me is what puts

601
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 3: players into All Star categories, puts teams into playoffs, puts

602
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 3: playoff teams into the World Series. That little stuff from coaches.

603
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, you know what trust is.

604
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: Cam's stealing twenty something bases in a row, and Cam like,

605
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 2: whatever you do, Ron, I'm running if you tell me

606
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: to run at this point, that's that's all I had.

607
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 7: Dam you know what that is? He checked. I'm gonna

608
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 7: keep doing it until I get caught, right.

609
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: I think I rolled off like four against the Astros,

610
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: against Berdlander in one game or something, and they were

611
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: like what.

612
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 5: I reader get a second base on what? They're like, what? What?

613
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: What do we do?

614
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 5: What do we got? What are you doing?

615
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 7: Like that?

616
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 5: I just wanted to.

617
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 7: Wait, I have that. I have that article.

618
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: It says Cam Aben complete rare feet four steals and

619
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: when first game back, Wait, is this it first came

620
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: back from Yeah?

621
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 5: I think I think Spray m c L. Yeah, the

622
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 5: Sprain m c L. Four bags?

623
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 3: You were you were you were parking in the handicaps

624
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 3: and stealing four bags. You came back ready. I had my.

625
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: Sticker, I had my sticker. I was parking closed. I

626
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: told him I had to save it for the game.

627
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: I needed to park close. But not But again it's

628
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: sometimes it's again, but I give credit when credit is due.

629
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: It's about the resources. Sometimes sometimes you look at, okay,

630
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: what can this player get? You know, again, I say

631
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: Ronald Coune when he reeled off all of those bags,

632
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: who was his first base coach?

633
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 5: One of the best they ever do it?

634
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 3: Tp?

635
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, you know, no, I think it

636
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: was I think it was ey. I think Eric Young

637
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: was over there.

638
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, that's right, that's right, you're right, you're right.

639
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: But again, but you know what I mean, Like like

640
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: I remember playing with Eric Young Jr. He's like, yeah,

641
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: my dad is like if the guys turn comes setting

642
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: his foot his turn just slightly, or if it's fitting

643
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: slightly open, or if this guy put you know, you know,

644
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: come set three times with his front foot, like this

645
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,479
Speaker 1: is coming from the stuff that his dad taught him.

646
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: And then you look at what the braves have done,

647
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: even what they did while he was there, or look

648
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: at wherever he's went. They've stole a ton of bases

649
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: because guys, they're looking at different things. It's not just

650
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: always on the players. Sometimes you need some extra eyes

651
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: to go. Hey, you got when this guy, when this wrote,

652
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: ro Oswald had a little birdie. They called it a

653
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: birdie roy Oswah. When he came straight up. When he

654
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: came straight up, he would he would go home and

655
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: he would pick and then when he went down and

656
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: he would go like a little birdie like this little motion.

657
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: He would go home every time. So just understanding that

658
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: of doing your homework, those little things can make, you know,

659
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: make a lot of guys more efficient.

660
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ellie Scotty, this is why fantasy level is going up.

661
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 3: Fantasy value for Bobby, Fantasy value for Ellie. If Ellie

662
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 3: doc was saying it last year, Dave Roberts said, last

663
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 3: year when he played against this guy doesn't even know

664
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 3: how steel base is yet, when Ellie can start unlocking

665
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 3: this kind of stuff, O wee. And that wasn't a

666
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 3: knock on Ellie. Take that over, Take that fifty nine

667
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 3: fifty nine and a half. Take the over.

668
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a compliment, right, Yeah, definitely, you're right,

669
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: that's a compliment.

670
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 5: Actually, Yeah, seriously, I learned so much from those guys.

671
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 5: It's important.

672
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: But you're right he had He hasn't even to scratched

673
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: the surface. That's gonna be scary.

674
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, I hope. I love foul territory. I'm not going anywhere.

675
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: I know some teams are probably gonna be calling me

676
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: to come be the base running guy after they watched

677
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: this episode.

678
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 5: I'm good with my guys.

679
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: All right, that's it, locks bet MGM. Futures the regular

680
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: season home run leader will be who aren't judge at

681
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: plus two sixty leading the board by far, then it's

682
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 2: Otania plus six hundred, Swover plus eleven hundred, petal Gonzo

683
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: plus sixteen hundred, you'ord on Abres plus sixteen hundred Kratz.

684
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,239
Speaker 2: Where do we see value on the board.

685
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 3: The man that is probably a sweat is still on

686
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: this chair. And I'm not talking about Francisco lindor Pete Alonzo,

687
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: Peter Alonzo. I mean you Cam what Cam said in

688
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 3: the one break I was listening to you guys. He

689
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 3: said he kind of seems like there's a chip on

690
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 3: his shoulder. And some people think that's like a I'm

691
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 3: man at the world kind of thing. No, I think

692
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 3: he just is, like I went through free agency once,

693
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 3: I didn't have the year that Pete should have. Pete

694
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 3: Alonzo plus sixteen hundred.

695
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: Lock it in, Cam, what you guys, let me skill.

696
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: I see that list one more time. I just I

697
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: mean Cratzy. It's easy to agree with Cratzy.

698
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 7: You're on.

699
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,239
Speaker 2: Ava is a nice candidate too. Is they're gonna give

700
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,719
Speaker 2: more DH time Judge, easy with Judge.

701
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 7: Cam.

702
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 2: That's plus two sixty for me for a home run.

703
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: That's just not enough value on the board. And I

704
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: don't want O tany with the pitching he's coming off

705
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 2: of and he's gonna get some off days in there.

706
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 5: Man. Yeah, for the money.

Speaker 7: Gotta be quick going back, I want.

708
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: To say, I want to say Pete. I gotta say Pete.

709
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 1: For the money, Pete, and he.

710
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 5: Posts more than your done. I just can you stay healthy,

711
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,680

00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 5: Pete's on the field a lot.

726
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: Hunter gambler Nick Madrigal is likely done for the season

727
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: surgery on a fractured left shoulder, Carlos Mendoza talked about today,

728
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 2: So that's a bummer. He was kind of filling in

729
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 2: for the Jose Glacias role. Glacias has been pretty public

730
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 2: about wanting to go back to the Mets, but it

731
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: sounds like it's at least not a mutual interest for

732
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: now from the Mets. We'll see if that changes, prices changed.

733
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 2: I have no idea what's going on there, But tough

734
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: loss there for the Mets, just in terms of depth.

735
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 2: Obviously he wasn't a starter more towards the end of

736
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 2: the bench cam but still a guy contact. You know

737
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: that they were hoping to be able to replace THOSEAIA Glaciers,

738
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 2: which in my mind is basically impossible. The clutchness that

739
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: he delivered last year for that team cannot be described.

740
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 2: It is etched in my memory the amount of time

741
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 2: they needed a big a B and he delivered.

742
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 5: And not to mention defensively, he's his glove.

743
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: He's a wizard. I mean the guy you know, it's

744
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: Andrew and Simmons. Some of the guys I played with

745
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: that were elite. He's right there amongst the top. You know,

746
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,919
Speaker 1: Brandon Kraft for his glove is elite. And again, uh

747
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 1: and this is no no of a slight to Nick Madrigal.

748
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: He's not to my in my as the player that

749
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: Jose is, I wish him a speedy recovery. But again

750
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: this this was definitely more of an insurance piece. You know,

751
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: something happened, you know, I don't I don't think there.

752
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't think this is as big as maybe some

753
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: might be making it out to be. That's my nice

754
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: that's my that's me putting it knife.

755
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 7: Okay, yep, that's fair. All right.

756
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 2: Two more quick ones that I want to throw out there.

757
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 2: Everyone has a Chicago connection here. Madrigal was a Cub

758
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: This is Andrew Bennan Tende's report on an injury not

759
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 2: great out four.

760
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 7: To six weeks.

761
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 2: One of the few White Sox players who could you

762
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 2: know who projects to be above average or at least

763
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 2: slightly four to six weeks non displaced fracture of his

764
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 2: right hand hit by a pitch and Nico hern Horner

765
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 2: will not go to Japan for that Tokyo series to

766
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 2: open up the season. He's still recovering from flexor tendon surgery,

767
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: so he's gonna stay back to rehab and we're gonna

768
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 2: go back from breaking one moment.

769
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 7: I just want to do a.

770
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 2: PSA the two games in Tokyo between the Dodgers and

771
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 2: the Cubs do count. I saw some replies on the

772
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 2: injury like good get them ready for the season. Who

773
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 2: cares about those games? And then other people were like.

774
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 7: No, those games are the season, Like.

775
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,840

Speaker 7: No big deal.

789
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:11,280

Speaker 2: a lot to you, someone who makes a big spring

798
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,520

799
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 2: give me a legend if you can.

800
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I have two that really come to mind.

801
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 3: I you know, Juan Pierre made a big made a

802
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 3: big impact for me. I'm not sure who what card

803
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 3: we're going to show or if it's the Mike Schmidt card.

804
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, you told me Mike Schmidt before the shows.

805
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mike, we had talked about too, and like like

806
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 3: just to see a Mike Schmidt card, like that guy

807
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 3: was my hero growing up, Like it was my dad

808
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 3: and Mike Schmidt, Like I played third base, so it

809
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 3: was like one of those things where in Philly he

810
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 3: was the man. And then in spring training in twenty eleven,

811
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 3: we got to work out, like we got to work

812
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 3: out together lift weights with Mike Schmidt and I'm like,

813
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 3: he's just super casual about it too. It's just like, yeah,

814
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 3: it was just me and him post game and he

815
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 3: was like telling me all this stuff about how the

816
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 3: game is just changed, it's not better or worse, and

817
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, like this is the greatest thing ever.

818
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 3: Like ten to maybe like eight to fifteen year old

819
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 3: me would have just been peeing his pants so excited.

820
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 3: But an impact. It made me see that superstars are

821
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 3: like real people. And this was like halfway through my

822
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 3: professional career. So to be able to meet and then

823
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 3: hang out and lift and still be able to keep

824
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 3: in contact with Mike Smith, that was legit.

825
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, that that's sweet. I wish I would have thought

826
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 5: about this question a little bit more.

827
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: But we talked about when it was asked spring training influences,

828
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: and I named two guys as far as my first

829
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: spring trainings went, and I named Placido Polanco and Magleo

830
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: or Doniez, and uh, those two dudes, man, were just

831
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: extremely helpful, just always open armed, uh, willing to give me,

832
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: give me advice. Hey, young young bugs, show up early,

833
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: be late, get your drill work in, be seen and

834
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: not heard. And then Magleo always made sure I was

835
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: fitted with BG's wood. You know, as far as going

836
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: into my first big league season, I went to low

837
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: A with all the best Maglio or Douniez would and

838
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: bat so he was instrumental. And then and then when

839
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: I was finally got caught up to the big leagues,

840
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 1: he also bought me like four or five suits.

841
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,359
Speaker 5: So, uh, those are memories that I would never forget.

842
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 1: The reason why I tried to be the veteran guy

843
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: that I was, that you know, looked out for the

844
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: younger guys, allowed them to be themselves.

845
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 5: You know, they never really hate me or made me

846
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 5: feel like I couldn't be myself.

847
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: So that was huge because I think when guys can

848
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: be themselves, they're the best version of themselves. So I

849
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 1: think it's important that you know the veteran guys are

850
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: are understanding and open to taking those young guys under

851
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: their wing and showing them the way.

852
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:26,760
Speaker 3: For sure.

853
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 7: I like it all right.

854
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 2: Shout out to Arena Club for helping us out with

855
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,479

860
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 2: packs to get yourself a card that you usually would

861
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 2: be like, yo, I can't get ten gs on a card,

862
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 2: but if you get in on a slab pack, you can.

863
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what he said.

864
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 7: That's what he said.

865
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 6: That's what he said.

866
00:41:54,920 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 7: That's what he said. All right, that's what he said.

867
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: Martin Perez, who's a good dude, good fella, Kratz, good interview,

868
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 2: always very open about giving his time, but also very optimistic.

869
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 2: So I want to get the player perspective here, Kratz.

870
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 2: You can start it off. I'll give you the quote

871
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 2: and then you just let me know if this is

872
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 2: okay to say because you want to have faith that

873
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 2: things are going to go well, or if you should

874
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 2: just sugarcoat it because it's tough. I mean, we even

875
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 2: spoke to what aj Hinch at the awards event a

876
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 2: month ago, and he was.

877
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 7: Like, the Twins are good.

878
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 2: You know, obviously we're going to be good, the Royals,

879
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,760
Speaker 2: the Guardians, and then he's like, so anyway, and everyone

880
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 2: talks about the White Sox that way. So Martin Perez,

881
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 2: new signing for the White Sox, said this yesterday quote,

882
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 2: people think we're not contenders, but we're going to be contenders.

883
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 2: We're here for a reason.

884
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 7: I know.

885
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 2: We don't have a lot of names, superstars. What we've

886
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 2: got is what we've got. And then he continued and

887
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,479
Speaker 2: this is our buddy Chuck Garfine, who cover the White

888
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 2: Sox with these quotes, this from Martin Perez. The follow up,

889
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 2: you have to go out and compete with players that

890
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 2: we have. That is one thing I'm trying to tell

891
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 2: my teammates. Nobody believes in us. The first person who

892
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 2: has to believe is us. If we believe, we're going

893
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 2: to be fine. Let's just get back to the contender's word.

894
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 2: Do you put that out there, or do you try

895
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 2: and sugarcoated if you're on that team, because there is

896
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 2: a zero percent chance they're going to be a playoff contender.

897
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 3: Zero percent. But as a player, if I thought zero

898
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 3: percent was my chance of making the big leagues, you

899
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 3: know what would have happened. You never make the big leagues.

900
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 3: Not everybody's a superstar. So as a player, you're optimistically

901
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 3: you're just you're optimistically naive. Maybe you just think you

902
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 3: are as we got Maybe we just keep getting just

903
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 3: bangers of guests, another guest coming in. But you have

904
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 3: to be positive. You have to be positive. If you're

905
00:43:56,200 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 3: not positive about what you can do, like you're kind

906
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 3: of wasting your time and it's gonna be a long season.

907
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 3: I have no problem with him saying this doesn't mean

908
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 3: he's right. I just know he's not gonna be right.

909
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 3: They're not gonna be contenders, but they're gonna get after

910
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 3: it a little bit.

911
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 5: Well, well, let me just say this. Where there's delusion,

912
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 5: there's hope. So Hey, you know what I'm saying.

913
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: I think a hope of mentality is a good mentality.

914
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: But I think most importantly is the White Sox need

915
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: to develop a culture of winning. And what I mean

916
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: by developing a culture of winning, I think about my

917
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: first few seasons. It took me like eight or nine

918
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: seasons before I even made it to the playoffs. Then

919
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: I remember going to the astros, and I remember even

920
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 1: after when even after when I was ready to go

921
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: to the shower, like coming in quick.

922
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 5: It was just what I had got used to.

923
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 1: And Carlos Bilt try and said, hey man, hey, slow down,

924
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: take a second to sit down, and he waited for

925
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 1: everybody to come in the clubhouse. And what we did

926
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: was we acknowledged the guys that really stepped up. Was

927
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: it the bullpen guy? Was it the closer? Did the

928
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: star to give us a outstanding start? Did somebody get

929
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: a go over? And we got to run in. We

930
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: took a second to appreciate what it took to win

931
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: that night. And what's getting lost in our game is guys,

932
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 1: are you know they they get out the clubhouse quick

933
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: when they win, and then when we lose, we sit

934
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: around and we soak in. And I think that clubhouse

935
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: needs to develop a culture, right you know, whoever the

936
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 1: veteran is in that lead in that clubhouse, send out

937
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:23,800
Speaker 1: a text message text group.

938
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,479
Speaker 5: Hey, let's kick their ass today, guys.

939
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: Let's show the world that we're not to be messed with,

940
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: that we're gonna compete like some veteran guy. Needs to

941
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: start that winning culture mentality, and that's where you start.

942
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 1: And then we put all the meat stuff aside. Hey, today,

943
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: let's find a way to win, because if we win,

944
00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna point fingers about who's playing terrible. So I

945
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: think that's what they need to do and it needs

946
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: to start. Now, what did we do to win this

947
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: game today, and let's appreciate it. Let's talk about it.

948
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: And that's just not come to the locker room and

949
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: leave immediately and be worried about what's going on outside.

950
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 1: Let's take a minute to value how hard it was.

951
00:45:58,160 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 5: To win a major league baseball game.

952
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,360
