Bet I kind of playing. 27 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,199 Speaker 4: Out that I'll be around forty seven playing appearances, which 28 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 4: I kind of like because the first few all look 29 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 4: like I know what's. 30 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 5: Good and there's out the middle wind nowhere that I've 31 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 5: never played the game before, and then I'll get back 32 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 5: onto it. 33 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 4: But I'm gonna be playing Tuesday, which is I think 34 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 4: the fourth game. 35 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 5: I feel good, ready to go. My body feels great 36 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 5: and sore. Somebody wants to especially since day do you 37 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 5: play this year, expect to. 38 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 4: Look a little bit different in time, Michael is for 39 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 4: you ready to play two games and then we'll go 40 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 4: from there. On the days they want to get off 41 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 4: and give me off, but I'll be ready to play 42 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 4: every single game at more accepting of that as you 43 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 4: as you get a little older. 44 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 5: Issues, Yes, over the last couple of years. 45 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 4: I mean I feel like the issues are not controlled 46 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 4: by me. The ankle and you know, ball off my favorite, 47 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 4: breaking my finger and rib things. So I would like 48 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 4: not to think I have issues. I think that's just 49 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 4: kind of where it's terrible season booky things. 50 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 5: But for me that would be right if I'm looking 51 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 5: for a day off here and there. 52 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 4: So for me, I'm gonna prepare to play one hundred 53 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 4: and sixty two games and then when that thing comes 54 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 4: where the night comes or they say we're. 55 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 5: Gonna give you tomorrow off because you know, you know me. 56 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 4: We'll fight that battle and most likely lose. But I 57 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 4: want to play every game. You guys know that. So 58 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 4: as I'm getting older, I try not to think about that. 59 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 4: But they are looking out for the best inclusive man, 60 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 4: and do you understand that? So probably if they want 61 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 4: to get me out of this thing, yes, like. 62 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 6: Physical challenge when you come up with an extend to 63 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 6: the season run and you have a short off season, 64 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 6: Like how do you kind of manage that outside? 65 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I don't really think about it, you know, 66 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 4: Like I told you guys after the trade that took 67 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 4: forty offers started working out and imprect back at it. 68 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 5: I feel really good. I had a normal officers and 69 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 5: that was great. So I don't really think about it. 70 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 5: I just kept going here and do what I normally do. 71 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 4: Be ready to go get forty five to fifty play 72 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 4: appearances and head into the season like a like a 73 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 4: normal one. I don't really think about a longer season, 74 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 4: shorter offseason. I try to do the same thing I 75 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 4: ever been thought over. Remember whenever you start your off season. 76 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 4: I try not think about that. So I'm just gonna 77 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 4: do the normal routine like I always do and go good. 78 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: That's more. 79 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, I just think because in that fourth year, 80 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 5: I turned forty, you know, so I've I got to 81 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 5: just talked to uh David after the radios and I said, 82 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 5: four is just you know, I really exploded. Is it less? 83 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 3: Is it more? 84 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 5: I don't know, but that's kind of where I kind 85 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 5: of act. 86 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 4: I feel good right now. So that was just floated 87 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 4: because that would been even twenty years. I'll be shorty, 88 00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 4: you know, I got I got a fan. 89 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 5: Then I would like to go home and to it. 90 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 5: So but I do love this game. I love playing it. 91 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 5: But for me, if I can do four, that'll be 92 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 5: twenty years. I think that's I think that's four. 93 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: I mean. 94 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 4: I don't I haven't really thought about that. I mean, 95 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 4: if I play like I normally do and stay healthy, 96 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 4: I I think maybe on that fourth threeor I should 97 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 4: probably get that, but I just was more thinking of 98 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 4: long coping, you know, And that's a that's I think 99 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 4: that's good. I've played a long time, maybe twenty three 100 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 4: years professional baseball. That's a I think it's enough trap. 101 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 4: But I don't have It's not four and set, and 102 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 4: I'm not doing that. But four, in my mind is 103 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 4: the number that I'm looking forward two. But if it's three, 104 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 4: if it's five, the same. 105 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, I do love it. 106 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 4: I think I think about our game and day is 107 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 4: different and it's a new task and new challenge of 108 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 4: facing a freak. Guys, it's not the same thing day 109 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 4: in day out, getting new teammates and get teammates to 110 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 4: bring life and energy to the clubhouse to you. Your 111 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 4: kids get a little and they want to see me 112 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 4: play more, or they want to see me play less, 113 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 4: and I want you to come home. So there's a 114 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 4: lot of things that go on. But my kids love 115 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 4: watching me play. My dad used to watch me play 116 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 4: whenever he wants it done. Team, so it's it's special. 117 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 4: So I've loved the game. I've always loved the game. 118 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 4: The game with more to me just because it's what 119 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 4: it's gotten me through in my life. So I love 120 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 4: this game. I don't want it to end, but I 121 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 4: get it. It's going to end a lot of times 122 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 4: when we catch up, right Phil, We're keeping it off 123 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 4: a long time. 124 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 5: I'm pretty good right now, so but you know, I 125 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 5: just there comes a point where it's time. Obviously I'm 126 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 5: not there yet. I love it. 127 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 4: I'm still playing pretty good. So as long as I 128 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: can keep playing pretty good and they want me out 129 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 4: there every day, don't keep going they see. 130 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 5: Here. I would like that yet. 131 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 6: I love. 132 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm got to com bands because it should be 133 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 5: great and everyone's going to go out of my control. 134 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 4: I'm not worried about that. 135 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 5: I'm not going to break it up. I'm not going 136 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 5: to talk about it. 137 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 4: I got two years left. I'm just an employee. Just 138 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 4: do my job and if they want me back, they 139 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 4: want me back. 140 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 5: But I think Andrew and everyone knows that I love 141 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 5: being here. 142 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 4: So whatever happened to me was expected to little about 143 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 4: housing production that always kept kept up usually. Yeah, I mean, 144 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 4: obviously there wasn't a three at the front of my 145 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 4: batty average last year, and that that hurts me. 146 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 5: So that's my goal always was to hit three hundred. 147 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 5: But with how it went. 148 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 4: And you know, I only I really didn't have an 149 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 4: auseason last year, and you know I was taking my 150 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 4: ankle till out August. It was never really in a 151 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 4: good spot last year. It's a lot of treatment and 152 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 4: I think I've played all right. 153 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 5: You know, I did all right for that and one again. 154 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 4: So I'm really looking forward to this year. I I 155 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 4: didn't like the way I play the defense last year, 156 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 4: and I thought it was just because I wasn't. So 157 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 4: that's a big, big goal in mind with a pis 158 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 4: year ball. 159 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 5: So that's that's gonna be a key for me. And 160 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 5: if I can do that really well and play, you 161 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 5: can't like I think I can play match the production 162 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 5: play maybe Andrews Marko. I don't like school. It's I 163 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 5: I like kids. I like I'm a hitter three at 164 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 5: the Crown with batting everage. 165 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: People love me. 166 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 4: I know, batting average and those kind of things helped 167 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 4: me a lot to a lot of people these days. 168 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 5: It does to me. You hit three hundred means you 169 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 5: on face a lot in your scoring runs for team. 170 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 5: So that's thea. 171 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: I think the greatest thing of all of that is 172 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: knowing that he wants to be there every single day, 173 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: but also that he wants to be here for the 174 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: next four years. 175 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 3: Give me four more years of Freddy. Freddy's got my vote. 176 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: And if I think if Freddy didn't have I mean 177 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: he was mad about not hitting three hundred his his 178 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: batting average, I'm starting with three and the idea of 179 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 2: not playing one hundred and sixty one games because he 180 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: likes his day off after they clinch. He wants to 181 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,559 Speaker 2: be in there every day, and he's in a scratch 182 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 2: and claw to keep it. Freddy's Freddy, and he is 183 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 2: going to have himself a great season last year. He's 184 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: gonna have himself what he would consider a bounce back 185 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 2: caliber kind of a season. So I'm looking forward to 186 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: seeing him plugging in with a younger version of him 187 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 2: and Kyle Tucker, Mookie looking for the bounce back. A 188 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: team that just won two World Series getting better, that's crazy, 189 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: that's crazy. 190 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: Well, that's funny that you say that. Let's ask Miguel 191 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: Rojas how a back to back World Series championship team 192 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 1: gets better. A man that needs no introduction, Miguel, great 193 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: to see you in here. We talked to the other 194 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: day at length about the importance of why you wanted 195 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: to come back, and obviously being here to get a 196 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,599 Speaker 1: three peet. But now that you've had a couple of 197 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: days with the new guys in this clubhouse, what's it 198 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: been like for you first week. 199 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's being intense. 200 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 7: I feel like every time we get together, I feel 201 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 7: like it's all about business. Obviously, we're trying to have 202 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 7: fun and you know, continue to get together and kind 203 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 7: of welcome the new guys into the clubhouse and make 204 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 7: them feel comfortable. But I think it's all about when 205 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 7: we get to a field, it's about getting better and 206 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 7: getting this team together and staying healthy and going through 207 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 7: the spring on a regular basis. For a lot of us, 208 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 7: because we haven't had our full sprint training at the 209 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 7: last couple of years, I know some of the guys 210 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 7: are going to leave soon. For Wbcson, there's a lot 211 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 7: of moving pieces, So that's why these last couple of 212 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 7: days are being really intense. 213 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 3: On the workout part. 214 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 7: We didn't expect less than that, and I feel like 215 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 7: that's a good good way to start a sprint training. 216 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: It's funny because you guys all have said we want 217 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: to get better. How does a team that wins back 218 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: to back World Series championships get better. 219 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's always chance. 220 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 7: That's the reason why we went to seven games in 221 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 7: the World Series, you know, and we was about to 222 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 7: lose the World Series. 223 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 6: We were two hours away. 224 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 7: And I feel like there's opportune for us to grow 225 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 7: even though we've been playing this game for a long 226 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 7: time and we are an older group. At the same time, 227 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 7: we need to find a way to stay on the field, 228 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 7: for pitchers to kind of like regroup and get back 229 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 7: to their form, because I feel like by the end 230 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 7: of the last year, if you ask any of our relievers, 231 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 7: they would like to be part of what we were 232 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 7: doing instead of having all the starties going out there 233 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 7: and pitching for us. I think Jama model the serf 234 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 7: just to be a starter and pitch his games. So 235 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 7: I think just talking about that, and then on the 236 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 7: defensive part, we actually needs to continue to work hard 237 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 7: to not lose what we had last year. And obviously 238 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 7: on the offensive part, like trying to take advantage of 239 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 7: every swing that we can take, every bad that we're getting. 240 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 7: And it's not just going through the motions just because 241 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 7: we won't. You know, I think we have a twenty 242 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 7: nine teams behind us. They want to take us down 243 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 7: and it makes it harder. So we are getting ready 244 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 7: for the battle, and we're gonna buckle up. 245 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 3: And be ready for it. 246 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: You were on Foul Territory not too long ago talking 247 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: about the World Series. Obviously, the home run is massive, 248 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: the defensive plays were just as massive. But for the 249 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: Dodger Territory family, could you kind of go over that 250 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: again in terms of you kind of don't want to 251 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: watch the replay because you don't want the outcome to 252 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: be different. What do you mean by that? 253 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that play it was maybe one more 254 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 7: half of a second and we lose the Word Series. 255 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 7: You know, those are the plays, and that's why when 256 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 7: I talk to you about getting better, it's like, continue 257 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 7: to focus on every ground ble that you're getting. It 258 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 7: can be the game seven of the Word Series because 259 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 7: we actually play on it and we know how important 260 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 7: it is to keep the focus and the concentration. And 261 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 7: I felt for a second that it was over because 262 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 7: I kind of stumbled a little bit and I didn't 263 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 7: know if I was going to make a good throw 264 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 7: or not. But I mean, I think that's when the 265 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,599 Speaker 7: reps that you take every single day takes over and 266 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 7: that's what happened. That's why I'm trying to stay away 267 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 7: from watching that play too much. I like to watch 268 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 7: the home run because I want to chase the same 269 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 7: swing over and over this year, and I'm looking forward 270 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 7: to do that again for sure. 271 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: Tell me about that. You want to chase the same 272 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: swing over and over and over again. So how much 273 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: of the video do you watch that swing? How much 274 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: do you try to, you know, to put that, implement 275 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: that into your everyday approach. 276 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 7: Yeah, I watched it all at bad because it's a 277 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 7: I mean, you can learn a lot from your own 278 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 7: mistakes and the things that you did good. Kind of 279 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 7: like after swinging over the slider in the there, you 280 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 7: have to find a way to regroup. And I kind 281 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 7: of like I watch it just to go back to 282 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,199 Speaker 7: the feelings that I was feeling at that moment, because 283 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 7: there's no bigger moment than that. And then if I 284 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 7: can control myself in a big moment like that, imagine 285 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 7: how I can do it in spring training. So I 286 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 7: want I want to feel like in spring training I'm 287 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 7: doing the same thing. So I'm chasing the same swing 288 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 7: and I'm not I'm not talking about the result. I'm 289 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 7: talking about the swing. I'm talking about the feeling. I'm 290 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,599 Speaker 7: talking about the low. I'm talking about how early it 291 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 7: was for the fastball, and I was able to write 292 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 7: it out out front and he had slide it out. 293 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 7: So I feel like I wasn't able to do that before. 294 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 7: So now it's kind of like I know how to 295 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 7: do it. And that's why I rewatch the whole bad 296 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 7: over and over and over, and I don't care about 297 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 7: the results. I know the results is gonna it's gonna 298 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 7: be different all the time, but kind of like the 299 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 7: process and how how to kind of like chase the 300 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 7: same mentality and the same swing over and over, And 301 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 7: that's the reason why I rewatch them all the time. 302 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: It's one thing to be able to replicate mechanically by 303 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: watching it, but it's another thing entirely to be able 304 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: to replicate the feeling that you had in that moment. 305 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 6: How do you do that with reps? 306 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 7: When you go out there every single day and I 307 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 7: get an opportunity to face different guys, I'm kind of like, Okay, 308 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 7: I'm putting it. I'm putting myself in a situation where, Okay, 309 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 7: I got basis loaded right here. 310 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 6: What do I need to do? Okay, I need to 311 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 6: low early. 312 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 7: I need to feel the same feeling that I was 313 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 7: feeling the breathing or technique and everything that I was 314 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 7: doing in the box at that moment. So that's how 315 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 7: you get the feeling back. It doesn't matter what the 316 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 7: picture is trying to do to you. Is how you 317 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 7: keep like your composure and kind of like stay loose 318 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 7: at the same time when you're trying to do something 319 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 7: against him. So it's kind of complicated, but that's that's 320 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 7: what the baseball player do. They trying to get that 321 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 7: feeling of the successful results so they can get back 322 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 7: to that whenever they can. 323 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: Before I let you go, you had mentioned also on 324 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: Foul Territory that when you were in the on deck 325 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: circle that you look back and we're looking for Danny Layman, 326 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: because in your career you have been pinch hit for, 327 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: as you said, hundreds of times. You look over he's 328 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: not there. You're like, I'm getting this at bat. We 329 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: asked Danny about that when we had him on Dodgers 330 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: Territory and he felt badly because he felt that he 331 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: should have been preparing you more to know that you 332 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: were going to take that autbout. He said. We started 333 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: the game with him on purpose. That was his at bat. 334 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: When you hear that, does your mind change it all? 335 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 5: Yeah? 336 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 7: It makes me feel so much better. But I didn't 337 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 7: know what was the thinking behind it. I didn't know 338 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 7: why I was in the on the game. To be 339 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 7: honest with you, I just received a text matcher from 340 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 7: Dog after game five and he say you're playing game six, 341 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 7: And obviously after game six there's no text matches to 342 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 7: uh needs to be received done because I knew games 343 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 7: end was mine. But at the end of the day, 344 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 7: I mean, Dog always talk about like who's the best option. 345 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 7: You gotta understand when you are the best option and 346 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 7: when you're not the best option. And we got some 347 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 7: guys on the bench that they can do the same 348 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 7: thing with the leftists on the mountain. I'm probably the 349 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 7: best option, you know, regardless of who's hitting. I feel 350 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 7: like I can give you a good bad against a lefty. 351 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 7: And then you started like kind of questioning, Okay, what 352 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 7: do I need to do in this a bad There's 353 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 7: a lot of possibilities on that above for me, So 354 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 7: kick get on base, and Bonnie, you know, if kick 355 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 7: gets to third base, I might get pin shaped for 356 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 7: someone who can put the ball in the air, but 357 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 7: I'm glad that I received the opportunity to get that 358 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 7: a bat.

This is important because 370 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: you wanted to be here. I was a little surprised 371 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: at the timing of an extension. Why did it make 372 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: sense for both of you guys on each side of 373 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: the equation to get this done. 374 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 8: Well, it's just a lot of conversations that we've had 375 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 8: and that you know that was part of the decision. 376 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 8: Was just the relationship that I built with the front office, 377 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 8: knowing my place here, knowing what my role is, and 378 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 8: just you know, the familiarity the family, just you know, 379 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 8: everything involved with it just it made the decision, you know, 380 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 8: easy for I think for both sides. And uh, you know, 381 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 8: I know there's been a lot of talk about leaving 382 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 8: money on the table, But to me, where else would 383 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 8: I want to go? This is the best team in baseball, 384 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 8: It's the best organization in baseball. We have a chance 385 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 8: to win every single year. You know, I've built I've 386 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 8: built the legacy here. Why would I want to go 387 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 8: anywhere else because I get greedy? Doesn't make any sense. 388 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 8: And you know, the thing I thought I like to 389 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 8: talk about the most is with my family. 390 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 6: My kids were born in La. All day I know 391 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 6: is La. They just they all they know is the Dodgers. 392 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 6: They know Dodgers Stadium, they know all the people that 393 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 6: work there. They love everybody. 394 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 8: Why why am I going to take them out of 395 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 8: the basically the only house that's ever known To chase 396 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 8: a little bit extra money doesn't make any sense. And 397 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 8: you know, all that combined with ultimately, the main reason 398 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 8: I played this game is to compete and to win. 399 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 8: This gives me the best opportunity to do that. So 400 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 8: it was a super easy decision for me, And you know, 401 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 8: I'm really really excited about it. And you know, I'm 402 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 8: happy to have a chance to win a couple more. 403 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: Rings, no doubt about that. You had mentioned legacy, and 404 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: I'm glad that you said that. I oftentimes when I've 405 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: spoken to guys, there's say I haven't really had time 406 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: to look back at what I've done yet. But you've 407 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 1: cemented yourself as a very key cog to what you 408 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: guys have done the last few years. What do you 409 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: think about the impact you've been able to have. 410 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 8: Oh, I don't like to think of myself as having 411 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 8: an impact on the team. I like to think of 412 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 8: I'm carrying on legacies from other people. And for me, 413 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 8: that's just been Kersh. You know, from the moment I 414 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 8: first got here and you saw it, Kersh is the 415 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 8: leadership role that he set just with how he worked. 416 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 8: It wasn't necessarily with words. It was just with how 417 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 8: he worked and how he prepared and the fire that 418 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 8: he had that path. You know, that rubbed off on 419 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 8: me instantly, and I've always just tried to emulate what 420 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 8: he does because he's the best. You know, he's the 421 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 8: best picture left hand picture of all time arguably, And 422 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 8: if a guy like that can work that hard, I 423 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 8: should be able to work that hard, and that's how 424 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 8: I've always tried to be in this clubhouse. It's just 425 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 8: set an example of we need to be out there 426 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 8: working as hard as we can every single day, preparing 427 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 8: properly every single day, and also trying to have as 428 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 8: much as much fun as possible, which you saw that 429 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 8: many times with Kersh. It's you know, that's that's the 430 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 8: goal we try to set here in the clubhouse is 431 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 8: we want to go out there and have fun, but 432 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 8: we're also going to win. 433 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: Maybe it's that Texas thing, that grit that comes with 434 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: being from Texas. You mentioned Kersha. How can you not? 435 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy is a is a first ballot 436 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, meant so much to this team. Only 437 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: wore a Dodger uniform. But I look across the way 438 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 1: and his locker's not there anymore, and it's so weird 439 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: to see that. Not to say that Blake Snail's not important, 440 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: but that's where Kersh was. What's that been like like, 441 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: not having him in the clubhouse every day? 442 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, you mentioned the locker. It's just funny. 443 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 8: Even even the Springs where he hadn't necessarily signed with us, 444 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 8: when Spring started, it was always empty because we knew 445 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 8: and it is weird thing that spot field now and 446 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 8: it'll be the same way at Dodger Stadium when you 447 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 8: know you see that locker when you walk in on 448 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 8: the right side and someone else is going to be 449 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 8: in it. You know, it's been strange without him. But 450 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 8: like I was just talking about with, you know, the 451 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 8: example that he set, it's up to us now to 452 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 8: try to continue to set that example for the younger 453 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 8: guys and just teach him what it really means to 454 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 8: be a Dodger. And you know, I know Kersch is 455 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 8: going to say it started long before him, but in 456 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 8: my eyes, he's the guy that set the example in 457 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 8: this clubhouse. And you know, for me, it's almost like 458 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 8: you just don't want to let that guy down, so 459 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 8: you want to keep you know, I keep that, you know, 460 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 8: that legacy of his going and just we're going to 461 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 8: show up every single day and work, you know, work 462 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 8: our tails off as hard as we possibly can. We're 463 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 8: gonna try to get better every single day. 464 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: Do you feel that you're kind of elevated now that 465 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: you're kind of taking on that role that you can 466 00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: kind of pass that on as well? 467 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 3: Again, I don't. 468 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 6: I don't like to think of myself that way. 469 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 8: For me, I'm just trying to go out there and just, 470 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 8: you know, do things the same way we've always done 471 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 8: them here and try to get better every day. And 472 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 8: if that's an example that runs up rubs off of 473 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 8: the young guys, then that's good. I'm doing something good. 474 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 8: I don't ever want to be an example that rubs 475 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 8: off the wrong way on somebody and where they say, 476 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 8: you know, he's he's just thinking about himself. He's not 477 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 8: doing things, you know. For me, so it's always been 478 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 8: show up every day. What are we doing today to 479 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 8: get better and how are we preparing today to win? 480 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 8: And when it comes time to get out there on 481 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 8: the field, the teams what matter. It's not you, And 482 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 8: you know that's that's the example. I've always tried to say. 483 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: You've expressed why you wanted to be here, why you 484 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: wanted to stay. Kyle Tucker, Edwin Diaz new to the club, 485 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: Dave had a full squad address the other day. Those 486 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: guys spoke. It was my understanding as well. What was 487 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: their message to the team and why did they want 488 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: to be here. 489 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's always refreshing when you hear new guys 490 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 8: come in and talk about, you know, from the outside, 491 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 8: what they're seeing and hearing about the organization. 492 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 6: And this goes back to why I wanted to stay here. 493 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 8: One of the things they mentioned is just how the 494 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 8: players are treated here and the fact that we have 495 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 8: that being noticed from outside people that don't even know 496 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 8: what's going on in between the walls, that that means 497 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 8: a lot to all of us. 498 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 6: And you know, they just spoke about how well the. 499 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 8: Players are treated here, how well the families are treated here, 500 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 8: how you're you're a player and a human being. 501 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 6: You're not just a number on a spreadsheet. 502 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 8: And you know, the front office listens to the players, 503 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 8: they how can we how can we help you guys 504 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 8: prepare better for a game? And they listen to what 505 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 8: we have to tell them, and they go out there 506 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 8: and perform all the renovations dot Ter Stadium, you know, 507 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 8: all the clubhouse stuff does player driven. They wanted to 508 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 8: know what we needed to be at our best, and 509 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 8: you know, it's just the fact that you're actually a 510 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 8: person here. I think that means a lot to a 511 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 8: lot of players. And then on top of that, we 512 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 8: have a chance to win every single year. You know, 513 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 8: you've heard docs, Doc and Stan and Mark's speeches at 514 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 8: the beginning of spring training and it's always the same, 515 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 8: and it's always so true. Every year, every team is 516 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 8: having the same meeting in spring training about our goal 517 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 8: this year is to win. And the reality is there's 518 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 8: only a couple of teams where that's actually true, and 519 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 8: with us, it's been true every single year, and that's 520 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 8: a that's a pretty special thing to know that every 521 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 8: year you have a chance to win. 522 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: The validation has come in the form of championships. You've 523 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: been a big part of that. Max. 524 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 6: Thank you for your time, of course, thank you. 525 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: Tremendous veteran presence on this team. You need that, but 526 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: you also need some young guns that can certainly impact 527 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: the game and the season in a certain way. And 528 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: this interview was specially for you. 529 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 530 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 2: Oh, are we talking about my guy, My guy Kyle Hurt, 531 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 2: the legend. That's right, Clinton Nation. We got Kyle Hurt 532 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,159 Speaker 2: and I asked him about a bar fight and all 533 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. Short, sweet, here's your boy, Kyle Hurt. Oh, 534 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 2: we're here with Kyle Hurt. If you guys watch the show, 535 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 2: you know I'm a big fan. Hopefully you watch cho 536 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: because I'm a big fan. Happy to have you here healthy. Uh, 537 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 2: maybe got a little bug going right now. But the 538 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 2: arm is good, shoulders good, everything's feeling good. How I 539 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 2: feeling entering what third big league camp? 540 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 9: Technically, I feel really good, you know, throwing two lives 541 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 9: so far. The elbow and shoulder have responded really good. 542 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 9: So I'm just excited to keep going and have a 543 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 9: regular healthy season. 544 00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what this team needs. Obviously. 545 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: You saw the bull pen last year a little decimated 546 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 2: with injuries towards the end of the season. Some ineffectiveness. 547 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 2: Still find a way through. You were a guy who 548 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 2: was throwing. We're hoping maybe you could find a way 549 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 2: back into that bullpen out close. Were you to getting 550 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 2: back last season? 551 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 6: I think I was. 552 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 9: I was ready to go, you know. I just I 553 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 9: think it was more of just me needing more reps, 554 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 9: you know, because Tommy John's a very hard thing to 555 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 9: come back from. But I think I was ready to go, 556 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 9: and ultimately was up to Doc and all those guys 557 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 9: about who is going to be on that team. So 558 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 9: I'm just I was just happy to be a part of. 559 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: It, you know. 560 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 3: In the mix. 561 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 2: We'll say, for sure, a small sample size cup of 562 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 2: coffee at the show. You showed up, you showed out, 563 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 2: you dominated again. You got somebody like me. I'm big 564 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 2: on the Kyle Hurt train. I'm hoping for big things 565 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 2: this year. I see as a reliever, I know you're 566 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 2: gonna be starting a little bit. What do you kind 567 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 2: of I'm assuming you're open to any role. What are 568 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,479 Speaker 2: you kind of hoping to do? What do you think 569 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 2: you could do as a starter? What do you think 570 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 2: you could do as a reliever? 571 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 9: Starting is the ultimate goal, you know, that's I want 572 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 9: to do that as long as I can. But I 573 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 9: think the main focus is gonna be out of the 574 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 9: bullpen this starting the season, and we'll see where everything goes. 575 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 2: You're feeling pretty good about being able to break the 576 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 2: camp with the team if health prevails. 577 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 9: I mean, yeah, if I do my thing, then I 578 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 9: think I have a good shot. You know, there's a 579 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 9: lot of really good players in this locker room, and 580 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 9: and then everyone's gonna be competing for the same spot, 581 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 9: So it's it's gonna be a lot of fun doing that, 582 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 9: and I feel like we're all gonna push each other, 583 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 9: so it's gonna be really a really exciting spring. 584 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 5: Yeah. 585 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 2: A lot of tools, a lot of talent in this 586 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: club out, so of course you add more people. Edwin 587 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 2: Dia is the back of the bull bullpen mix. What 588 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 2: do you learn from some of the veteran dudes around here? Like, 589 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 2: what do people even seeing somebody like Oral Hershey's are 590 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 2: hanging out around camp. What do you learn from guys 591 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 2: picking brains at this time of you know, spring. 592 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 3: Training, you know. 593 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 4: Not. 594 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 9: I don't really like get into those guys a whole lot. 595 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 9: I kind of stick towards more like trying in Investia 596 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 9: and Tanner and kind of pick their brains. You know, 597 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 9: they've been around the game for a long time and 598 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 9: they've been really successful. They've had healthy seasons, So just 599 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 9: being around them and getting some pointers for them is. 600 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 3: Huge for me. 601 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, pick everybody's brain in here sucks. This 602 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: guy isn't here to pick his brain anymore. Number twenty two, 603 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 2: But Blake Snail's pretty decent. Last one. I know you're 604 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 2: trying to get out of here. Everybody wants to get 605 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 2: out for the day. People who watch the show, they 606 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 2: know if you have the dumb question if he wants 607 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 2: somebody and. 608 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 3: The Dodgers at a bar fight with you. It's this guy. 609 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 2: How many how many people you think you could take 610 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 2: down to a bar fight? Mark Pryor said, I hope 611 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 2: he doesn't get into one. It's worth noting. 612 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 3: But he's a lover, a lover, not a fighter, right, 613 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 3: I am a lover, not a fighter. Probably zero, not 614 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 3: a big fighter. Just give him a couple of beers. 615 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 2: We're here to have a good time, hangout and hopefully 616 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 2: win ourselves the World Series.
