For me, 69 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 2: it was a chance and an opportunity to work on 70 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: my craft at a high enough level where you know, 71 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 2: at the time when I went, I felt like, and 72 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 2: I still think it's true where teams value the success 73 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: in Japan more than they value success in Triple A. 74 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 2: And I never viewed myself as a depth guy, and 75 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: I was kind of labeled, you know, I got non 76 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: tendered my first year going to URB and so I was, 77 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 2: you know, kind of labeled as just a depth guy, 78 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 2: someone that can you know, be reliable in the big leagues. 79 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: But maybe we be on the DFA train or being 80 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 2: Triple A and kind of use them. However, you know, 81 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: whenever we see fit and I always obviously I'm gonna 82 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: believe more in myself, and so I wanted to kind 83 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 2: of shake that label, and going to Japan, you know, 84 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: was an opportunity for me to show that, and. 85 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 5: I was able to do that. It worked out, Yeah, 86 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 5: it worked out. 87 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 6: Yeah. 88 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: What's the biggest takeaway pitching wise that you took from 89 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: Japan that you still lean on today. 90 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 91 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 2: Over there, you have to stay locked in every pitch. 92 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 2: And I know people say that here at this at 93 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: this level, obviously, just over there it's like it's death 94 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 2: by a thousand cuts. They're trying to clog the bases. 95 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: They're trying to make your you know, jack up your 96 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: pitch count and make you work for every out, and 97 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: so at that time of my career, I've obviously lacked that, 98 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: and so just being able to know mentally that I 99 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 2: had the mental fortitude to keep going helped a lot 100 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: here when when I got back, And it's just a 101 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: matter of, you know, as soon as you get punched 102 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 2: in the face or in the mouth, you know, punch 103 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: back and keep you know, keep going. And then overall, 104 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: you know, my you know, my first three four years 105 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 2: in the big leagues were uh, the last few were 106 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,279 Speaker 2: a lot of up and down, and it's kind of 107 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 2: a mental grind doing that. Uh, you start to lose 108 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 2: the passion for playing a little bit. And so just 109 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 2: going to Japan reignited that passion for me, reignited that fire, 110 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 2: and I've just i haven't let go of that since 111 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: since I've been playing over there. It was a nice, 112 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 2: you know, refreshing reminder of you know, why I play 113 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 2: this game, and I've just you know, kind of chasing 114 00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: that feeling the whole time. 115 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 4: Is that what's allowed you to be so okay with 116 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 4: going from starting the bullpen to starting the bullpen, just 117 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 4: doing whatever they asked because you love the game so much. 118 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: And is it still difficult because you do yourself as 119 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:13,119 Speaker 4: a starter. 120 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's something that I've done basically my whole career, 121 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: or I've done both, and I've always viewed myself as 122 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 2: a starter. And even when I came back from Japan, 123 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 2: you know, I thought, you know, when I first sign 124 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 2: with the Padres, I wanted to be a starter. I thought, 125 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: you know, that's what you know they signed me as 126 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: in that first year that contract that get moved to 127 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: the pen. And it wasn't always easy, you know, it 128 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: took about it took until you know, even the middle 129 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: of twenty three for me to really embrace it because 130 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 2: there were you know, I'm always down for anything, but 131 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 2: if there was you know, with the Padres, if there 132 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 2: was a need where I felt like I can, I 133 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: can help out and I was doing something else, it 134 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 2: was it was starting. You know that that part meant 135 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: to do get a little harder. But it's all about 136 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: like switching your focus on like why why you're doing it? 137 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: If we're trying to win ball games and I don't 138 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: care what role role I'm doing, you know, So if 139 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 2: it's the first or ninth, if I have the ball 140 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: and this team's focus is winning ball games, I don't care. 141 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 5: You know, at what point I get to. 142 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 2: Baseball, I just want to want to help us win 143 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 2: so and especially as I'm getting older, I'm getting less 144 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 2: and less chances to win a World Series, so I 145 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 2: just want to get on it. 146 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 5: You know, World Series, We're going to see what happens. 147 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 7: The number one rated ticketing app is seat geek, and 148 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 7: you can get ten percent off on seat geeks app 149 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 7: by using the code territory ten, So you should use it. 150 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: Aj Oh, I'm definitely going to use it for WBC 151 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: games in Miami because I want to go to the semifinals. 152 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 8: In the finals, they're going to be sold out. 153 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: Absolutely spring training games for the people out there who 154 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: want to go to spring training games. 155 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 3: Absolutely great idea. 156 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: Best seats radar one through ten, and I. 157 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 3: Recently had to use SeatGeek to buy tickets to a 158 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,799 Speaker 3: Florida Gators basketball game that was sold out. 159 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: So I love the code territory ten percent off and 160 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: the rating is the best. 161 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 7: Yes, he's talking about each ticket rated on a scale 162 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 7: of ten, so you know you're getting a good deal, 163 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 7: so look for the green dots. 164 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 8: Green means good, red means bad.

Is a particular pitch? Is 200 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 4: it ourm angle? And is there a conversation you've had 201 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 4: with your pitching coach that's kind of really stood out 202 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 4: so far? 203 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 8: Yeah? 204 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 2: So I think, you know, for me, the biggest separator 205 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 2: from my previous years from twenty two to twenty four 206 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: and my twenty twenty five season was I threw a 207 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 2: lot of strikes and I can command the ball very well, 208 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 2: but my first pitch strikes were down from from previous years, 209 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 2: and that's a big factor for me to be successful. 210 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 2: It's to be you know, obviously, I think for anyone 211 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 2: to be successful right, the more chances, you know, the 212 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: more times you are oh one, then you are one 213 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 2: to oh, you're going to be more successful. So that's, 214 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: you know, from from that standpoint, that's been a big 215 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 2: focus in camp so far. It's really attacking guys and 216 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 2: getting aggressive in the zone early. And then also another 217 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 2: one from a mechanical standpoints, pitching from probably a more 218 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: natural slot. Sometimes I tend to climb a little higher 219 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 2: than I normally do. I'm pretty I climb pretty high already, 220 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 2: but sometimes I try to get even higher. And so 221 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: being in a more natural slot, you know, and mechanically 222 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 2: those are i'd say the two focuses for. 223 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 1: Me, Nick, you know who makes the most this year 224 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: on the race?

How many other discussions I don't know if 273 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 7: you want to list teams, but also just other creative 274 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 7: situations where teams were like I only want you to 275 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 7: be a starter or reliever, or there were multi year 276 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 7: deals versus taking this. 277 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 8: Kind of deal. 278 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 7: Because I feel like you've had a unique process, not 279 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 7: just this offseason but the one before where it's like, yeah, hey, 280 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 7: sometimes the qualifying offer is the move. 281 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 2: Right, right, So this this off season different from the rest, 282 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: and that it was just such a slow developing off 283 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 2: season four starting pitchers specifically, and so the luxury of 284 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: talking about roles and and and choosing teams wasn't as 285 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 2: it wasn't like years before. It was, uh, you know 286 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: as I signed like February tenth, I think it was 287 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: like right before that. 288 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 5: I usually leave the spring. 289 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: Training on the tenth and so to me, that's that's 290 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: obviously really latent. So it was more of you know, 291 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: as soon as we got the amount of interest from 292 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 2: the Rays that we got, it was really just kind 293 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 2: of rolling with it and going and then just communicating 294 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 2: like they viewed me as a starter. They want me 295 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 2: to start, but on my end it's, hey, man, if 296 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: we're trying to win, then whatever you need me to do, 297 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 2: I'm up for it. So this off season was unique 298 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 2: in that it was just slower, right, this just slower developing, 299 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 2: So we didn't have the luxury to talk about or 300 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: choose from, you know, so many different teams you know this, 301 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 2: or leverage teams to get to against each other, really right, 302 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 2: So it was really just running, running with the ball 303 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 2: and joining you know, joining the race. 304 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: Can you give us two people from camp that joining 305 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: it you're really surprised of Besides the size of Yondi 306 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: Diaz's biceps.

As I've gotten older, you. 374 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 9: Know, maybe a little bit more efficient in the weight 375 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 9: room with my time and with my efforts. On top 376 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 9: of it, the organization, I mean, they got me wearing 377 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 9: one of the pulse one of the pulse trackers to 378 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 9: track throwing stress, throwing volume. You know, I think when 379 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 9: it comes to like trying to pay attention to workload 380 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 9: in general. It was never the days that I felt 381 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 9: really good or I don't feel so good that I'm 382 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 9: able to manage workloads. 383 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 8: It's always the days I'm right in the middle. 384 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 9: You know, we always laugh about it, but in our 385 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 9: bullpens here for me, at least, the really good bull 386 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 9: depends and the really really bad bullpens I can shut 387 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 9: off real quickly. Right if on a day you're really good, 388 00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 9: you throw fifteen quality fifteen quality pitches were good there, 389 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 9: you know I touched it, I did it, I did 390 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 9: what I needed to for today. On the days it's 391 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 9: going horrible, I'm not getting any better anyway today, So 392 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 9: I can step back and say, you know what, I 393 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 9: think I'm good. But it's the days where I'm right 394 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 9: in the middle where it's like, let's just keep throwing, 395 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 9: keep throwing. You know, we can we can figure something 396 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 9: out here. And so I think the rays of the 397 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 9: organization has been great about helping me just track workload 398 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 9: and stress on the arm. Specifically, from that perspective, do. 399 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: You trust them or how long did it take you 400 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: to trust them in that because you're a guy that 401 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: just you've just said it, you're going after going after it. 402 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: You want to work harder. How long did it take 403 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: for you to trust them? And was it like, Okay, 404 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: I'll try it this time and if it doesn't work, no, 405 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: I'm back to my way. 406 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 9: Uh well, I mean from the performance side of things. 407 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 9: I mean, since the second I got here, it seems 408 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 9: like everything they give me seems to work out. So 409 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 9: that makes things pretty easy, right when you take something 410 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 9: that seems foreign, feels funny in your hand, especially when 411 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 9: we're talking about new pitch shapes, new new new maybe 412 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 9: usages or how often we're throwing certain things. They say 413 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 9: something I might push back a hair, you know, I 414 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 9: take it into game, and you know, two or three 415 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 9: starts in, you're like, hey, this is this is kind 416 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 9: of working out for me at this point. And so 417 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 9: I think the track record on the performance side speaks 418 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 9: for itself. 419 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 8: Here. 420 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 9: It's not just me, you know, I think I see 421 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 9: you see a bunch of guys who come here and 422 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 9: they find success. 423 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 8: But the organization as a whole is great. 424 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 4: Man. 425 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 9: They the first thing they do is they want to 426 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 9: get to know you as a person, right, and if 427 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 9: once we build that personal connection, then it's really easy 428 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,959 Speaker 9: to get you to buy into it, to to what 429 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 9: we preach and how we preach it, and and from 430 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 9: the medical side and then the strength side. 431 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 8: They give you the freedom to do what what it 432 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 8: is you want. But I think they're. 433 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 9: Really really good about putting up like bumpers on a 434 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 9: bowling alley, where it's like, hey, we're gonna let you 435 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 9: do do some pretty extreme stuff. We're not really gonna 436 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 9: We're not gonna really intervene until we believe that you're 437 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 9: starting to go down a path that could could raise 438 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 9: some issues moving forward, and and that's when are going 439 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 9: to step in. 440 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 8: But I mean, they're they're very open. 441 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 9: It's kind of an ongoing conversation with how I am physically, 442 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 9: and they always meet me where I'm at and from there, 443 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 9: you know, we have conversations about where it is we 444 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 9: want to go and how it is we want to 445 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 9: get the body feeling better or stronger or more mobile, 446 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 9: And like I said, it's just kind of an ongoing 447 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 9: conversation at all times. 448 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of staying healthy, and you mentioned pitch usage 449 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 4: and different grips and pitch design.

Am I correct? 518 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 8: With the Brewers? I missed Hookie in the minor leagues? 519 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 9: He was he had already, he'd already moved his way 520 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 9: on up into the cushy seat before I got there. 521 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha? So Hooky and Kyle Snyder the race pitching 522 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: caps because both organizations have found value in great pitchers 523 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: but also found value in people who consider you know, 524 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: the cast offs. 525 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, both are great people. Like I said, I think 526 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 9: relationships are probably the strongest foundation of how you get 527 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 9: guys to buy into what you want them to do 528 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 9: on the field. And both of them do a really 529 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 9: good job of understanding who their guys are and what 530 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 9: it is they like to do, how it is they 531 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 9: like to go about their business. When I was with 532 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 9: HOOKEI and Milwaukee, Man I was out of the bullpen 533 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 9: and I was, Shoot, if you could text him, Man, 534 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 9: I guarantee you he would tell you. I was probably 535 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 9: the most stressful guy to watch day in and day out. Right, 536 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 9: you're just getting called up, You're trying to not get 537 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 9: sent down. You're loving, you know, loving life in the 538 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 9: big leagues. I was just put into the bullpen for 539 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 9: my first time, and that's an experience in its own right. 540 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,399 Speaker 9: I didn't know what I was doing down there. I 541 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 9: was nervous, I was anxious all the time, and so 542 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 9: he was really having to manage me personally more so 543 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 9: than you know. He was helping me from a performance 544 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 9: standpoint and helping me, you know, developed becoming a major 545 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 9: league pitcher and all, but man, he was really having 546 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 9: to manage who I was as a person and just 547 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 9: the nerves and in the anxiety that comes along with 548 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 9: debuting and being fresh into the big leagues. And then 549 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 9: when I got over here with Snydes, you know, they're 550 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 9: both really laid back, which I really I need because man, 551 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 9: I'll start circling and I'll start spinning in my own 552 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 9: you know, spinning my wheels. But just the way they 553 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 9: deliver their messages. Man, there, it's it's incredible. And like 554 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 9: I said, when you the foundation that they do with 555 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 9: the relationships, it's really easy to buy into what it 556 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 9: is they want you to do on the field. 557 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, you've been here a while, but you also know 558 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 4: part of being a raised there's a lot of turnover. Yeah, 559 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 4: what do you like to do off the field, or 560 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 4: how do you kind of get you know, the five 561 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 4: six of you guys starters? What do you guys kind 562 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 4: of do to kind of jive during spring training to 563 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 4: become a collective unit. 564 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 9: Yeah, this group likes to fish and golf, and I'm 565 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 9: not great at either, but I'll go. 566 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 8: You know, I think that's kind of. 567 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 9: At least early on here. Like you said, the group 568 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 9: is so different year in and year out, But I 569 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 9: mean Pep and Mac they can really swing the clubs. 570 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 8: Mac likes to fish as well. 571 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 9: We've gotten together with the Matt's family a little bit 572 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 9: away from the field, and then Nick's back and forth 573 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 9: right now between here and Miami and seeing his family 574 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 9: and that kind of stuff. And I'm doing the same. 575 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 9: Mine's up in Saint Pete right now, so you know 576 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 9: when we're in town. Yeah, we like to hang out. 577 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 9: We I mean we sit, we talk in the clubhouse 578 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 9: a lot. I found myself in the weird role of 579 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 9: being the guy people ask questions to this year, which 580 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 9: is like I said, you know, I still look at 581 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 9: myself as the young guy who's asking all the questions. 582 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 8: But it's definitely a change. 583 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 9: And but you know, just trying to help him out 584 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 9: and you know, get comfortable with how this organization operates. 585 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 9: You know, there's just minor things. Every organization does a 586 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 9: little bit differently. So if we can get them up 587 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 9: to speed with what it is we do and how 588 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 9: we go about it, you know, I think by opening 589 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 9: day that's going to put them in the right spot. 590 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 8: To have success moving forward. 591 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: You talk about teammates. One of your teammates a few 592 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: years ago was Randy or Rosarina. Did you see him 593 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: get denied? And how do you how did you view 594 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 1: that knowing Randy, but also how did you view that 595 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 1: looking at it from Col's point of view. 596 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 9: Uh, so, I'm gonna be like full transparency. Judge hit 597 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 9: the homer and what the first or second? And I said, 598 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 9: all right, this one's over. I'm going to bed. So 599 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 9: I didn't really see it actually happened in real time, right, 600 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 9: I mean, Captain America hops up there and hits a 601 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 9: backside home or like come on now. But you know, 602 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 9: getting to play with Randy Man awesome in the clubhouse, 603 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 9: loved it great. Get get to see him again last 604 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 9: year in Atlanta and actually spend some time with him. 605 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 9: The little bit i've been around cal seems awesome as well. 606 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 9: I just in the moment, it seems like what the 607 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 9: typical protocol as you go and you you know, you 608 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 9: tap the catcher on the back or in the shinnies 609 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 9: and you're just like, all right, let's get this thing going. 610 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 8: We're here to compete. 611 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 9: So maybe just wrong time, you know, wrong place, wrong time, 612 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 9: and so that's all. 613 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 8: I got on it. 614 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 7: Man, Hey, if it was you, what would you do, 615 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 7: Because I mean, I don't think. 616 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 8: They come out to shake my hand. We're gonna get 617 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 8: a free strike call. So life's good. Of course. My 618 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 8: point is here, that's good. 619 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 7: My point though, is it's not that because we've seen that. 620 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 7: We even saw that earlier in the WBC with the 621 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 7: Australia Catcher. We saw that last time with Randy and 622 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 7: Will Smith. Right, guys get in game ode and they're like, no, 623 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 7: right now, you're not my teammate. But Randy after the 624 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 7: game had all kinds of comments. I don't know if 625 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 7: you caught any of them, just kind of calling Klaut 626 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 7: saying I love your parents, but but I'm mad at you. 627 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 7: And there was some choice words included with that. So 628 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 7: you know, Randy, Well, some people are like, he was 629 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 7: probably just playing to the moment or getting really emotional, 630 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 7: or is there a little bit of gamesmanship and drawing 631 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 7: up more drama. 632 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 5: In the WBC. 633 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 8: What was Randy to day talking about. 634 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 9: This is like a WWE script going on? Or if 635 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 9: they match back up here coming up? 636 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 5: I like it. 637 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 9: No, I mean Randy with us was always you know, 638 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 9: like high energy, big personality, great to be around, a 639 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,360 Speaker 9: lot of fun to watch. Like I said, I've only 640 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 9: spent limited time around around Cal, but he seems awesome 641 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 9: as well. 642 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 8: I got a feeling. 643 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 9: I don't think it was you know, Cal was probably 644 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 9: behind the plate, like, hey man, I'm working with my 645 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 9: pitcher here right now. We got to get this pitch 646 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 9: call in, we got to get on the same page. 647 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 9: We've had limited time to work together as is, and 648 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 9: so yeah, I got a feeling. Man, he was just 649 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 9: locked into the game, and that's what happened in all. 650 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 1: Right, Drew last one from me. I talk all the 651 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: time about how you know, the draft is completely different 652 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: than it is, and I don't. I think we'd be 653 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: remiss if we didn't talk a little bit about your 654 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: draft process, because I'll walk it through. You were.

The draft the draft has changed 660 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: a ton. Do you feel like your experience would have 661 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: been alleviated had they or would have been different had 662 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: the draft been like it is now. 663 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 9: Well, I mean, realistically, you know, we talk about my 664 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 9: junior year in college and guys, guys who get drafted 665 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 9: in the first round signed. 666 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 8: I failed my physical. 667 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 9: And the smartest, the smartest organization in baseball did what 668 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 9: they do right, like, let somebody else rehab them. 669 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 8: We'll claim him on the backside. 670 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 9: But it's just one of those things that, yeah, I mean, 671 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 9: things are different now. I know there's less rounds for sure, 672 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 9: you know, I mean the chance there's a chance that 673 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 9: if the system was the way it is now, I 674 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 9: don't get picked up at all.
