1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 1: M hm.

2
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: Matt's manager, Carlo Spendoza is here, Mandy, It's great to

3
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: see you. I'm actually gonna start with one of your

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: star players, if I may, Francisco Lindor. I've heard he

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: is a quick healer, So does that mean chances are

6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 2: pretty solid that we could see him playing on the

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: first day of the season.

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 3: Good to see you guys, Scottie, Yeah, great bit, Yes, Williandre,

9
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 3: there's still a pretty good chance that we will see

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 3: this guy on opening day playing shortstop for us.

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 4: Not just because of how quick of a healer he is,

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 4: he's just you know, he's He's one of those guys

13
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 4: that he takes pride of posting and being available. We're

14
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 4: not gonna rush them, you know. I think hitting hitting

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 4: progression starts today. He's been throwing, he's been doing all

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 4: the condition and he started fielding. So uh, I'm still

17
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 4: pretty optimistic that we will have Lindor playing short stuff

18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 4: for us.

19
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: It was his left hand or left hand, ye, So

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: is there any thought of him just hitting left handed

21
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: at the time, Because I mean I had hamdmate right

22
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 1: he couldn't really do much. But since he's a switch hitter,

23
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: I know he probably would back away from hitting right handed.

24
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: So is there any thought until his right handed swing

25
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: got back in that heeled, maybe just have him hit

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: left handed.

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 4: No, no, not really, that wasn't even a conversation. I

28
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 4: think it was just more like once we went in

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 4: got the hamm it out, he just he was just

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 4: more like getting the stitches out and just the strength part.

31
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 5: So no, that wasn't even in the conversation.

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 4: But again, we expect Lindor to be a healthy player

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 4: for us come opening.

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 6: Day when we're getting later into spring training. We saw it.

35
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 6: We saw it a few years ago with Miguel Vargas.

36
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 6: He wasn't able to swing yet, he was just standing

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 6: in the box taking pitches. Is there something that Mets

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 6: fans can look at and go, wait a minute, Like,

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 6: Francisco is not played in an actual spring training game.

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 6: He's only been on the backfield. Maybe this will be

41
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 6: delayed if we look at it later in the spring,

42
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 6: or is there like, do you guys have a plan

43
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 6: once he's at a certain point, he'll be in actual

44
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 6: games or he'll be on the backfield till he's fully

45
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 6: one hundred percent.

46
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's definitely a plan.

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 4: We will see him on backfield, hopefully in the next

48
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: couple of weeks where it's either tracking or anything like that.

49
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: But I wouldn't be surprised if we see Francisco indoor

50
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 4: playing games for US here in spring training before we

51
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 4: break camp.

52
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 5: So again, we're.

53
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: Still early, but I think that's the plan that Francisco

54
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 4: is going to be able to play spring training games

55
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 4: for US here.

56
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: Hey, can I ask you about Nolan McLain and first off,

57
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: how he's feelings. It sounded like that was pretty concerning

58
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: when you have vertigo like symptoms and there's just a

59
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 2: lot coming at him right now. He had a great

60
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 2: introduction to the league. You're trying to get him ready,

61
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: you know, during his first spring training for a first

62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: full I would say, entering a first full season as

63
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 2: a starter with the ball club in the major leagues

64
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: and then oh little WBC on the side, which could

65
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: include him pitching in a title game if they get there.

66
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: So can you take us through how he's doing and

67
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: how you're trying to monitor that with Mark Durosa who

68
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: or whoever you talk to on the USA side.

69
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's doing he's doing good.

70
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 4: After that date or you know, day and a half,

71
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: that he would experience those vertigo like symptoms. His schedule

72
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 4: to pitch on a back field today. The goal is

73
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 4: to get him his four ops close to sixty pitches,

74
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 4: and he continues to check all the boxes, continues to recover. Well, uh,

75
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 4: you know, he's eating and just getting his way back

76
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 4: because he lost a little bit of weight. Again, it's

77
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 4: been a lot for him since he got to the

78
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 4: league towards ENDO last year.

79
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 5: But if anybody's wire or built to handle something like

80
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 5: this is Nolan McClain.

81
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: I know d ro announced yesterday that if the team

82
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: USA gets there to the championship game, most likely is

83
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 4: Nolan the guy that is going to get the ball,

84
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: and what an honor that is. But again, we've got

85
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 4: to continue to check the boxes. Hopefully that's the case.

86
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 4: I means he's healthy. USA has got to get there

87
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: as well. They got a good team by the way.

88
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 4: Yeah right, okay, but yeah, this kid is built for

89
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 4: this moment, moments like this, and uh again, let's take

90
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 4: it one day at a time and we'll see what

91
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: happens next.

92
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 6: How nervous are you during the WBC as a manager

93
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 6: with a decent amount of players, How nervous are you.

94
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 4: Honestly, I experienced it the last WBC. I was a

95
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 4: bench coach for Team Venezuela, and uh, it's just fun, man.

96
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: It's something that is a great experience. Is something that

97
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 4: if you have the opportunity to put the uniform with

98
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: the country on your chest, like, that's something that you

99
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 4: can take away from from players and humans. Right, So again,

100
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: we all have that experience. I wasn't here, but the

101
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 4: Edwin did as experienced and everybody. That's the first thing

102
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 4: that comes to mind. But hey man, the intensity is

103
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 4: completely different. But people get her in spring training too,

104
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: you know.

105
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 5: So you know, like for.

106
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 4: Me, just go out there, enjoy learn from some of

107
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 4: the best players, uh in the world, and and just

108
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 4: have fun. We'll be we'll be watching, We'll be fingers

109
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 4: crossed here.

110
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think it's just.

111
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: An experience that if you've got opportunity to do it,

112
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: you got to go and do it.

113
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I love the WBC. I think it's awesome.

114
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: I was at the game. I don't want to bring

115
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: it up. Venezuela USA. A couple of years ago. Venezuela

116
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: didn't go so well. The guy shouldn't have ripped his

117
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: shirt off at the one point trade, Turner said, take that,

118
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: put your shirt back on. That's fine if it plays

119
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: like it played out last time Venezuela USA semi finals.

120
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: Who are you rooting for? Oh my gosh, and then

121
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: you know you have McLean back on the back of

122
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: the USA wins for the finals. So who do you

123
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: root for as a manager?

124
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 5: Imagine? I don't know if that's possible because I haven't

125
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 5: been able to.

126
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: Do I don't know have the brackets were.

127
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 4: Imagine having a USA Dominican Republic because I got could

128
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 4: potentially be watching Nolan McLain one.

129
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 5: So I don't know who to root for.

130
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 4: I just yea, like everyone comes out healthy and you know,

131
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 4: kind of like that O Tany Trout at that right

132
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 4: teammates at the time, and that's how the last UH

133
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 4: ended last year. Look, man, I'm I'm gonna root for

134
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: the players, you know that they stay healthy and for

135
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 4: a really good show and a really good baseball, which

136
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 4: is we already saw it last night with the Dominican

137
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 4: Republic and how intense that is for our Latin country.

138
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm pretty sure I'll be watch.

139
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: But what happens if it comes to that mcclaim slips

140
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: and one might I'm not saying hurt him, but like

141
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: you know, just you know, Soto shuffles on him like it.

142
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 5: And that's part of the competition.

143
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 4: You know, we're talking about elite competitors, right, Nolan mclan,

144
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: Juan Soo Uh.

145
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: We saw we have to have a team meeting and

146
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: when they s back.

147
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 4: We saw flashes of it on a LIVP before we

148
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 4: started playing games where Soda was facing Nolan and he

149
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 4: got you got, uh, pretty intense there as far as

150
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 4: like the competition goes. You know, Nolan's trying to get

151
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 4: him out, SODA's trying to get him as well.

152
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 5: So we'll see what happens there.

153
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 6: Do you think we can take the energy? I don't

154
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 6: know how much of the game yesterday you saw for

155
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 6: people who didn't see it, it was the Dominican versus the

156
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 6: Tigers down in sount to Domingo, the capitol, the largest

157
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 6: stadium from when I played down there winter ball. Do

158
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 6: you think we can replicate that somehow here in the

159
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 6: States here that it's not the playoffs. This was a

160
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 6: scrimmage game and for every one of the DRT bats

161
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 6: except for Austin Wells. The entire stadium was standing no

162
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 6: offense to Austin Wells, but everybody else was like their

163
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 6: guy from down there.

164
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 5: Replicate meaning during the WBC here in the States.

165
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 6: Now, replicate during the regular season that energy that like well, I.

166
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 4: Think the way I see because I lived the cratzy

167
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 4: is whenever you plane, say a playoff series, and you're

168
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 4: in your home ballpark, and he's fifty sixty thousand people

169
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 4: eighty five percent of the fan base, there is your

170
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 4: own crowd right when you're playing WBC. I remember playing

171
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 4: Dominican Venezuelan Dominican. There's fifty thousand people in the stadium,

172
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: is you know, fifty to fifty crowd wise, So every

173
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 4: pitch you got someone screaming as loud as they can

174
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 4: for something. So if the pitcher execute the pitch, you

175
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 4: got the Venezuelan crowd going crazy. If you know, the

176
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 4: Dominican gets a hit, you got the of the stadium

177
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 4: going crazy.

178
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 5: So it is always going to be super loud, and.

179
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 4: I don't think you can replicate something like that here

180
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 4: in the States.

181
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: Mendy question for you related to this because we're going

182
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: to see Soto of course in left fields, and then

183
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: we'll see him play that out during the season. You know,

184
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: we always think about all of the crazy analytics and

185
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 2: conversations that go on behind the scenes, and you're a

186
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: straight up guy, stand up guy. So is David Stearns.

187
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 2: It sounded like it was just a more simple decision

188
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 2: to have a conversation with him and not dig super

189
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 2: deep into every single number. Of course, you guys know

190
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: what's going on on the field and what numbers tell you.

191
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: But was it really that simple, Like it wasn't this, Hey,

192
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: let's sit down and go over all these numbers, because

193
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: I think from the outside, a lot of fans nowadays

194
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: think that every decision is like Wall Street deciding which

195
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 2: stock they should buy.

196
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 4: Now, it was that he was a simple conversation, you know,

197
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 4: talking to one you want to be playing left field?

198
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 5: W WC. Yes, how do you feel about playing that position?

199
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 5: I feel great? And then as the conversation.

200
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 4: Started flowing, I was like, is that something you will

201
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 4: consider doing for us here with the Mets? And It's like,

202
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 4: I'll do whatever you want or whatever the teams want.

203
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 4: And that's when I took it to David started like,

204
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 4: like I said, an informal conversation, took it to David

205
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 4: and then you know, we're getting back to Jue a

206
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 4: few days later with the decision that we were going

207
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 4: to move forward. So we didn't dig into numbers. We

208
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 4: all know that one playing left field. I think he

209
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: had the better years defensively when he was playing that position.

210
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 4: So it's not like we're moving him off right feeling Okay,

211
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: now you've got to go learn left field. Not like

212
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 4: he's got plenty of games there and the numbers will

213
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 4: show that too. So yeah, we didn't go into the

214
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 4: analytics and the numbers and all that.

215
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 5: It was just more like in a conversation, he was

216
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 5: on more, team was on board.

217
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 6: Let's go ahead and do it one more WBCQ for

218
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 6: me here, who has the better team, the Dominican or Venezuela.

219
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: You better say Venezuela, yea, because you want to go

220
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: back home.

221
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, don't lead. Don't lead the witness No.

222
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 4: Look when you are looking at the lineups, they got

223
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 4: superstars one through nine. Venezuela got hit with some of

224
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 4: the injuries. Pablo Lopez unfortunately goes down. Alvarado from the bullpen.

225
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 5: Can go.

226
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 4: So I think from the pitching staff the Dominican I

227
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 4: was watching that game yesterday. Sev starts and then every

228
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 4: every guy that came in after him was throwing a

229
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 4: ninety nine to one hundred. Guys that are used to

230
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 4: pitching on high leverage here in the in the Big League.

231
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 4: So I think there's more depth there on the pitching

232
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 4: staff on the Dominican side, But position player wise, like,

233
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 4: they're both pretty good with good teams.

234
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: Yes, the USA. We all know USA is gonna win,

235
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: so it doesn't really matter.

236
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 5: I mean, they gotta go out and play.

237
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: You got some new guys here, Louis, Louis, Robert the

238
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: name one right, Boba Schett, Arcus Simeon. How are the

00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:16,520

Speaker 1: I love him by way. Does he always have a

242
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,200

00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 4: he leads. He leads by Temple, the way they go.

Speaker 5: Care obviously he can hit or Hippolanco.

00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 4: I mentioned Devin William, Luke Weaver, Freddy Peralta man, this

254
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 4: guy is uh is different. You know everywhere he goes here,

255
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 4: when I'm walking around the building, you you know Freddy

256
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 4: is there, whether it's in the weight room, whether it's

257
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 4: in the kitchen, in the locker room.

258
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 5: He's just he has that presence.

259
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: Uh.

260
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 4: And he's genuine too. You know, he's got that joy.

261
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 4: He's just been a pleasure to be around him.

262
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: Anything he tells about the wist Robert anything he's doing different.

263
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: How's bow handling? I mean a lot of questions here.

264
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: How's bou doing a third?

265
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 4: Let me tell you Louis Robert man like I don't

266
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 4: know if you've seen him take BP.

267
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 5: This guy is different with the way the ball comes from.

268
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 4: He just stay healthy and that's why he hasn't played

269
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 4: games yet. Today's going to be the first time that

270
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 4: he's on the back field.

271
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 5: We got to make sure this guy stays healthy. Uh.

272
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 5: If we can keep this guy on the field, like man,

273
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 5: he's he's something else.

274
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: The ball jumps, he's you know, he's got like forty

275
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 4: live at battery and I think he's leading the league

276
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 4: in homers. Like he's taking I don't know if I

277
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 4: want to celebrate it or not. He's facing our own

278
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 4: guys and he's taking guys deep.

279
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 5: Uh but men, like the tools are pretty impressive.

280
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 4: But with that transition to third base, you know, it's

281
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: a short stop that we're asking him.

282
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 5: To uh to move to third uh work ethic. Hence

283
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 5: it's gonna he's going to take some time.

284
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: There's so much that we can replicate pre game on

285
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 4: the backfields, like he needs to play games. There's different angles,

286
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 4: there's different reads, different throws.

287
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 5: He's gonna be fine.

288
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 4: I like where he's at as far as learning third

289
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 4: base foreheads, same way first base.

290
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 5: It's not so much ground balls. It's just like the fundamentals.

291
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 4: People think, oh, you can put him at first base

292
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 4: and it's gonna be easy. And there's a lot that

293
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 4: goes into playing the position. You know, the awareness of

294
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 4: where the second basement is. We're seeing it with guys

295
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 4: ball on the four hold. They react, they're so used

296
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: to going after that ball. It's like I got to

297
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 4: get back to the base uh pitchers, covering base cuts

298
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 4: and relays. There's so much there that goes into that

299
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 4: again by playing games, and I'm I'm glad that we're

300
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 4: going to be able to put him tomorrow for the

301
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 4: first time they are to play first base. Who else

302
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 4: we got with Robert Polanko, b Schett, Simeon Semen, I mean,

303
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 4: a pro, like I said, total pro Weaver.

304
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: Devin Williams. I mean, you got like a whole new team.

305
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 5: That we do. But it's exciting. It's exciting with so

306
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 5: many new faces. Great dudes.

307
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 4: Man, these guys they've been around this league. It's not

308
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 4: like we're meeting for the first time here. And a

309
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 4: lot of them play together, you know, with different teams.

310
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: You know, Bowen Simeon played together, Bowen Sieman play.

311
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 4: And then you look at Freddie, Devin Tyrone, Taylor, those

312
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 4: guys got Tobias Myers, they have Brewer magic, they got

314
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 4: Weaver from the Yankee Soto with the Yankees. So like

315
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,920

317
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: Know you guys have like an ex teammate convention, Like

318
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: when you have your meeting in the morning, you guys, okay,

Speaker 1: over here, all the Blue Jays go over here, and

321
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: then afterwards you got all right, we'll take them together.

322
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 5: Maybe we maybe we'll do something like that, you know

323
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 5: that we're doing in the morning.

324
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: You could do Manigh and Soto from the padres right.

325
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 4: Well, you can throw Manaye and see me from the

326
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 4: age too, good boy, So.

327
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 5: We can get creative here.

328
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 6: You said, you said in your eyebrows raised when you said,

329
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 6: you said, oh, Bo, he can hit. What does he

330
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 6: add to the lineup that maybe you were missing last year,

331
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 6: especially when you talk about a guy that's able to

332
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 6: drive the ball all the ballpark, able to put together

333
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 6: at bats, able to win a batting title. What does

334
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 6: he add to the lineup that maybe you were missing

335
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 6: last year.

336
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 4: Well, we had some really good hitters last year too,

337
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 4: you know, and obviously they're with different teams. But he's

338
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 4: just a professional at bat that you're gonna get from Bo.

339
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 4: This is a guy that when he's a heading counts,

340
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 4: he's gonna go for him. We'll see that lay kick

341
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: and then once he gets to two strikes his pets out.

342
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 4: He uses whole field. You know, this is a guy

343
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 4: that can hit behind runners, with runners in scoring position,

344
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 4: uses a whole field.

345
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 5: He puts the ball in play. I mean there's a

346
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 5: lot to like there.

347
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 4: Like you said, you like I said, you're getting a

348
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 4: professional bat from Bow every time he goes up to

349
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 4: the play.

350
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: Well, it's nice for you, by the way. Yeah, Louie

351
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: Robert hitting Nate pretty good, pretty good eight hitter.

352
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 5: Yeah. Look, I like the balance. I like the fact

353
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 5: that I could go Rye left.

354
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 4: We got a couple of switch hitters on Polanco and

355
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 4: in Francisco. Uh, the lefties with Toto the righty baby

356
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 4: obviously as a lefty.

357
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 5: But there's a lot of different ways I could go

358
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 5: with the lineup.

359
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 4: But there's versatility, there's balance, there's power, there's contact.

360
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 5: Uh, there's speed. So there's a lot to like about

361
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 5: the lineup. We just got to keep everyone healthy.

362
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 6: All right, I know you got to go, so make

363
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 6: it quick. You're starting rotation. Justin Willard a new pitching coach,

364
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 6: does he have a rope that he's gonna tie you

365
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 6: to the dugout until the sixth inning and just say,

366
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 6: let's let these guys figure it out so that we're

367
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 6: not going out there and we're going to create a

368
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 6: new just a new a new norm here in New

369
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 6: York with our starting pitchers.

370
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that was uh, that was the case

371
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 5: the past couple of years. I mean, the starters they

372
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 5: got to go. You know.

373
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 4: Unfortunately we went to a lug with our rotation. But

374
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 4: I like where everyone is at right now. They're healthy.

375
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 4: When they're healthy, Uh, they can do a lot of

376
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 4: different different things. You know, able to add Freddy uh,

377
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 4: and then you got a full year of Nolan Clay

378
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 4: a second year as a starter. Then you know we

379
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 4: got pet uh and then Manaia and Singer.

380
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 5: Those two guys.

381
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 4: Uh, it wasn't easy for them last year health wise,

382
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 4: but when they're healthy, they can be a difference maker.

383
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 4: So right now everyone is feeling good and we just got.

384
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 5: To keep it that way.

385
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: Mendy, you're the man. We appreciate you. We'll talk to

386
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: you during the season. Good to see you all right, fellas,

387

Speaker 2: thanks for having me. We're live and at Saint Lucy

388
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: with a familiar face. Yes, full menu, Freddie Peralta joining

389
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 2: us right now, looking really good in the Mets threads.

390
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 2: How you doing, Freddy.

391
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,479
Speaker 5: I'm doing good about you guys.

392
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: Really good, always bringing us a smile. Yeah, so good,

393
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 2: he doesn't, I know, we love it. They needed that,

394
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 2: you know, Freddie went last year when we talked about

395
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: the Mets. I don't know if you heard this, but

396
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: they needed pitching, right They kind of ran out of

397
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: pitching at the end of the year. And then they

398
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 2: actually said their smile meter was a little low, So

399
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 2: that was part of it. There's now a stat for that.

400
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 5: He's me, He's myself, you know how it is.

401
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: But by the way, when I walked in there, he

402
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: was smiling. He was talking to John Ayman. I'm like,

403
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: no one smiles when they talked to John Ayman. He

404
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: was smiling the whole time.

405
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 5: Like you know, he say some nice things. He'll take it,

406
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 5: you'll take it. Yeah. So what's this like?

407
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: What's this like for you? What is it like compared

408
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 2: to Milwaukee? Are there more media reporters? A lot more

409
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 2: of that going on? What else is different?

410
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 5: They a lot, there's a lot of minier reports.

411
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're right, and but you know, it's been amazing here,

412
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 7: it's been great. Uh, a lot a lot of a

413
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 7: lot of nice seams, a lot of resources, and you know,

414
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 7: it's been amazing.

415
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 8: Uh.

416
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 7: And what I hear is gonna be way better in

417
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 7: New York. So I can wait to see.

418
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 6: What's the one thing you miss already about Milwaukee? What's

419
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 6: the one thing You've been the same spring training for

420
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 6: how many years?

421
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 5: In Maryville? What do you miss about that?

422
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 6: Because I know Saint Lucy is much nicer than Maryville.

423
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 7: No, man, I think the only thing that I can

424
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 7: say talking about, you know, like outside of the field

425
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 7: is you know, in Arizona there's a lot of restaurants

426
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 7: and a lot of places where to go after practice

427
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 7: of games, and but here is a little way way

428
00:20:58,560 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 7: more quiet around here.

429
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 5: But it is what it is. You know.

430
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,199

Speaker 7: I have the idea, all the applications and all that.

451
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 7: I have the idea it myself. I had no idea

452
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 7: that you need all that to go fishing, and I

453
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 7: did it one so I did everything, I got it done,

454
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 7: and now I take all the stuff.

455
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: Is that why you're not playing in the WBC because

456
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: you couldn't leave the fishing in Florida even though it's

457
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: a venezuela playing in Miami. I think, yeah, so you

458
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: could have just gone down the street a little bit like,

459
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: oh God, so tell us why. I mean, you explained

460
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: it to me obviously earlier, but explaining your explanation makes

461
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: total sense as it stinks.

462
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you know at the end of the day,

463
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 7: come into a new team, a new organization, organization that

464
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 7: put a lot of trust on me and what I

465
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 7: can do.

466
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 5: And you know, I think that that's why I get

467
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 5: here earlier soon.

468
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 7: And then then the poor day, I came earlier because
