It was 120 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 3: a one o'clock game, and I mean that place was packed, 121 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 3: going going crazy, you know, and as an opposing player, 122 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 3: it's it's it's tougher to pitch in those spots.

So that was pretty cool. And I know 128 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 3: the fans are super passionate, you know, they have a 129 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 3: a high standard for performance, and honestly, like where I'm 130 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 3: at now, would say that's all the things I'm looking for, 131 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 3: you know, like I have a high standard of performance 132 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: for myself, and I feel like it could you know, 133 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 3: kind of hold you accountable sometimes to keep it going 134 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 3: and or else you know, you might hear it, but 135 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 3: I feel like I need that. 136 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 4: So you had the surgery, Jordan, which listening to you 137 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 4: speak last week, sounds like it was just a kind 138 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 4: of a clean up. And I love the fact that 139 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 4: you only wanted a one year deal. I just think 140 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 4: it speaks volumes about the confidence you have in your health, 141 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 4: the confidence that you have in being able to have 142 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 4: a big season go back out on the market last year. 143 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 4: Was there any doubt in your mind, like you know 144 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 4: that that was the way you were going to go, 145 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 4: And why did you feel so strongly about it. 146 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 3: No, Honestly, there was just how things were progressing, throwing 147 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 3: working out, how the body was feeling. I just felt like, 148 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 3: for myself it was it was smart to do, you know, 149 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 3: a one year deal. I didn't really want to, you know, 150 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 3: lock anything in coming off, just just a frustrating bad performance, 151 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 3: hurt most of the year, and I know, like when 152 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 3: I'm healthy, what I'm capable of, you know, so I 153 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 3: really wanted to do the one year deal. You know, 154 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 3: hopefully everything works out here and we could just just 155 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 3: keep rolling and Philly, you know, that's the that's my goal, honestly. So, yeah, 156 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 3: I want to do the one year, one year deal, 157 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 3: prove myself, you know, kind of show everyone I'm back 158 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: healthy in what I can do out there. 159 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 2: Jordan, I, it was just curious. 160 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 5: So you had a progression.

Who taught you how to throw that? 362 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 2: And when did you know that was a good pitch? 363 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: Was there any kind of like do you throw a 364 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 2: curveball at one point, shelve that change up shelve that. 365 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, so yeah, fastball slider. That's what I 366 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 3: was when I got drafted, you know. And then yeah, 367 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 3: so Darryld Knowles, he was my so I had to 368 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 3: John right when I ray when I signed, pretty much 369 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 3: my first spring, so I had that. When I was 370 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 3: coming back, he showed me the slider grip that I 371 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 3: that I used for a long time. And I had 372 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 3: a bullpen coach here in Toronto, Matt Bushman. We kind 373 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 3: of just tuned it up. But those two guys kind 374 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 3: of showed me how to throw the slider, and then 375 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 3: Bushman kind of just tuned it up. And yeah, coming up, 376 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 3: I was always trying to throw the change up and 377 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 3: my pitching coaches would kind of they would be really 378 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 3: harping on it because I had a quota in the 379 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 3: minor leagues, because they wanted me to throw it. Sure, 380 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 3: they say like, hey, you need to throw fifteen or 381 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 3: like ten percent. 382 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: And I'd be in the fifth inning and I hadn't thrown. 383 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 8: One yet, you know, so they I've been pitching all right, 384 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 8: you know, Like I remember I pitched that's six innings. 385 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 8: I don't think I gave up a run, like struck 386 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 8: out quite a few and I threw one change up 387 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 8: and my pitching coach, Riggins at the time, he's like Jordan. 388 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: He's like, you're gonna get me fired. I was like, riggy, man, 389 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: I just went six score links. 390 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 6: Come on. 391 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: But that was always the fight. 392 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 3: I was never comfortable with it, but they always wanted 393 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 3: me to throw it. So yeah, I was happy when 394 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 3: I went to the bullpen. I could just scrap it 395 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 3: and just work like button. 396 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, just go fast ball, slider. Yeah, absolutely, that's awesome. 397 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 4: What do you you know, the Phillies are one of 398 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 4: these teams that really doesn't annoint the closer, but a 399 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 4: lot of times you can kind of figure it out 400 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 4: by who they're using hot hand and momentum success. Obviously, 401 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 4: what have you been told about your role and what 402 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 4: would you like your role to be? 403 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, just kind of told just be ready 404 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 3: to pitch and leverage you know, big spots, stuff like that, 405 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 3: and yeah, so not giving the closer role or anything, 406 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 3: but yeah, definitely prepared to be a leverage arm. That's 407 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 3: kind of the thought going into it. And you know 408 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 3: how bullpens work, right, especially it's kind of the guy 409 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 3: that's doing well is going to be throwing the later 410 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 3: innings or the biggest spots of the game. 411 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: So that's kind of how I'm going into it and 412 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: approaching it. 413 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 5: Have you got a chance to sort of study what 414 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 5: Rob Thompson does because there are times when he utilizes 415 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 5: his closer even in the seventh or eighth inning early 416 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 5: in the game when a really really big spot or 417 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 5: so have you noticed that about him? 418 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 2: And did you know that part about how. 419 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,400 Speaker 5: He could sort of arranges his his bullpen. 420 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I've actually. 421 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 3: I've seen some guys in interviews talk about that from 422 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 3: the bullpen, just like hey, like we'll use this guy 423 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 3: maybe in the sixth because that's probably you know, top 424 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 3: of the order or a couple guys on stuff like that. 425 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: So, yeah, that's something I'm prepared to do. 426 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 2: You know. 427 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 3: I just I'm gonna have to start my routine just 428 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 3: a tiny bit earlier, which is like in spring training, 429 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 3: I'm going to try to just tune that up because 430 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 3: I have been used to throwing that late inning, but 431 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 3: in spring I'm just going to try to tailor edges. 432 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 3: All right, It started everything a little bit earlier, so 433 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 3: when that sixth inning does hit big spot, like we 434 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 3: can be ready from the sixth of the ninth. 435 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 5: So I'm just talking about spring training. You mentioned it 436 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 5: a little bit. How many reps do you like to 437 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 5: get during the course of the spring. I no, no, no, 438 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 5: You're a veteran now you kind of know your body, 439 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 5: and I was wondering what you think you may be needing. 440 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 5: Will you be one hundred percent across the board because 441 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 5: of your injury, Are you'd be ready to go at 442 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 5: one hundred percent? And obviously how many reps do you want? 443 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 5: And the other question I had was would you rather 444 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 5: pitch in the A Games the B Games? Does it 445 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,719 Speaker 5: matter to you when you get your reps? Is it 446 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 5: important to you? Just kind of curious what your feeling 447 00:19:59,480 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 5: is on on it. 448 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it'll be one hundred percent ready to go 449 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: for spring, no issues. Honestly. 450 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 3: I mean my last bullpen, I felt like I was like, 451 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 3: so I threw my bullpen just a week and a 452 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 3: half ago, and now I'm just in like a little 453 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 3: bit of a d loop because I got I got 454 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 3: ready early just to kind of show myself and show 455 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 3: like teams, you know, but I want to get on 456 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 3: the mound, rip it. 457 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: See the velo I want and make sure everything feels good. 458 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 3: So that's box checked, and then yeah, I'll start throwing 459 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 3: pens again in January, so we should be one hundred 460 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 3: percent ready to go. And as far as like usage, 461 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 3: I like to throw around ten outings. I actually like 462 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 3: to throw, you know, around ten outings, and I do 463 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 3: like to get it back to back near the end. 464 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 3: It could be an inning and then the next day 465 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 3: just get hot in the bullpen, face a hitter or 466 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 3: two and just kind of have my back to back 467 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 3: so my body's ready feeling good. And I don't like 468 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 3: throwing in backfield games that much. When I throw, I 469 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 3: like to I don't know, I like to feel the crowd, 470 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 3: the energy, some adrenaline.
