  Speaker 1: I will stash that thing away so fast and you know,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: maybe look at it later or something.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: But you know, no, definitely can't bring that thing around.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: All right, We've got Ryan Yarborough with us. I think
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: it's the first time we've had you on yards since
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: you actually got picked up by the Yanks. So how
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: you doing and how's life as in New York Yankee?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what's going on? Guys?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: You know, it's uh, it's a little little it's just
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: really cool.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, it's getting used to the
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: big city in New York. It's it. Uh, it takes
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: some time, but uh, we're finally starting to get settled in.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: And you know, you got the wife and wife and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: kids with me, so uh, they're enjoying the city for sure.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Wait they can't. Can we get you an apartment?
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: I feel like you're in a hotel, the Yankees not
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: having like ready made apartments for you guys there, because
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: I mean they look like an apartment to me.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: No, we're we're uh, we're still a hotel living right now.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I signed here literally like the day before season started,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: so it's been a whirlwin and uh, and everything situated
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and we're trying to find that perfect spot. You know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: everyone's pretty spread out here, so getting a lot of
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: different opinions and some good insights on where we want
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: So we're still figuring that out right now.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: I would think your wife would want to be like
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: in Midtown, soho, you know, somewhere somewhere where the shopping
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: is really good, and you probably don't want to be there.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, your kids probably want to be somewhere else,
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: So I can understand why it might be a little
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: tough to find a place to live in you.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Or Yeah, you know, there's like you said, there's plenty
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of options, but you know, for sure we're near Central
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Park right now, and they're definitely enjoying that.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: The kids love that, you know, just get to run
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: around there.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: But it's if you're not used to it, it's definitely
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a whirlwind of there's the city and there's no one's
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: ever sleep and there's always something to do. So that's
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: that really nice, especially after a game if you need
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: to grab something quick to eat or anything. But man, like,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: there's tons of options, but they definitely love being right
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: here in Midtown and being here a Central Park well
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: was the.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Place Helal Bros.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Brost that's a place street meet in that place, that's
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: a that's a legit street meet place.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's some, there's some. Yeah.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not saying they're all good, but I
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: mean the place right by the hotel we were for
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: the BBWA, right across the street was the yellow Umbrella.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: I think it was called Bros. It was pretty nice.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, So I want to know how this
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: all came about. Right, So, you're with Toronto, You're on
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: a minor league contract. I think you pitched pretty well
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: in spring training from what I looked at, and then
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: I guess they didn't take you on the roster. Can
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: you take me through that storyline that the Yanks called
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Did you have conversations with the Blue Jays about how
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: this was going to play out at that time?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean, first off, just kind of especially
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: showing up in camp late, you're just kind of like
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: just trying to hit the ground running. And like I said,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I felt I had a pretty good camp, and especially
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: on a minor league deal, you have that opt out
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: at the end of spring and you kind of basically
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: give them like a forty eight hour notice two day notice.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Where you're like, all right, cool, we're probably.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Gonna exercise this kind of where you guys at and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of took it down to the wire
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: and you know, and ended up like saying, all right, cool,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: we're we're we don't kind of see you as being
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a part of the team at this point. So at
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: that point you are able to just really send out
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a ton of different feelers and you opt out.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: And you know, like I said, it happened pretty quickly.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: We opted out.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: What that Sunday morning and late Sunday night we kind
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: of had kind of had everything done and I was
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: over at the complex with the Yankees next day bright
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and early.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Ran.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: You mentioned after negotiations that you had some other options,
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: possibly outside of the Yankees, but you ultimately chose the Yankees.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Why is that?
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: What? What was what was going on there? You see
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: a good fit? Was there an opportunity, a spot open
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: you want to be?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think yeah, all of that honestly, you know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: especially we're being with Tampa all those years, seeing all
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the the guys that have come in and out here
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and talking with some guys who've been here here, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: especially from the pitching side, the things they've been able
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to do. Uh, So I was very excited to kind
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of be a part of that and kind of be
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: able to absorb everything they have for me so far.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: So it's been really fun and kind of getting to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: know the guys and kind of what they've kind of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: seen and can help me with. And especially, like I said,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I've played against it for so long, they had a
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: good grasp of what I'm able to do, what it
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: makes me really successful, it makes me good. So just
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: really trying to emphasize those things and it's been a
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: fun little ride so far.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: So I'm loving it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Yarbs, what do the Yankees tell you?
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: That's what I want to know. When you switch your organizations.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: You were, you know, the Blue Jays are in their division.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: You've been in their division with the Rays and the
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: Blue Jays, So what do they say? Because they faced
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: you obviously a billion times and they've seen you pitch
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: a billion times. So when you get over to the Yankees,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: what's their first thing? Do they come up to you
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: and say, Hey, we think your four seamer has super spin,
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: so you should throw it up and into riot. He's like,
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: what's their go to thing that you found the Yankees
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: are telling you.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Well first and foremo most. I feel like some of
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the guys are just like, well, glad to have you
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: on this side.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Think we don't have.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: To like face anymore. You know, some guys aren't really
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: appreciative of that. But I think it's just more of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: just kind of like really just super emphasizing your strengths
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: or I don't think it's anything too out of the box.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I think it's just more of like just doubling down
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and just really giving you a little bit more confidence,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: like especially from hearing it from certain people, and the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: more and more you hear it from different teams, especially
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: like hey, you do this really well, continue to do that,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: or hey, we think you can add a little bit
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of this. But I think it was just more of, look,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you're really good at what you do, especially against the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: left handed hitters. Just really continue that, or and continue
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: really using your strengths, whatever those might be, especially for
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: me pitching inside the right hand a hitter, So not
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: trying to super crazy change things. Maybe a little tweaks
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: here and there to help maybe get your stuff a
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: little like sharper, but it's just a matter of like
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: really just go with your strengths and you know, you
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: do things to a certain way and it's so unique. Look,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: so continue doing that.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Yards when you play when you play the Blue Jays
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: because they're in your division and you get to save
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: or you get to win like Hoffman did the other day.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: Are you gonna towards their dugout like Hoffman did towards
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: the oriols?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Oh? That was that was great.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I saw that and you know, getting I literally my
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: locker was next to him for all of spring training
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: when I was there, so I got to know him
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: pretty well.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: So I thought that was hilarious. Uh, but no, I don't.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'll do that, you know, but I mean, uh,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: definitely looking forward to that series. And uh, you know
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: they're coming up here to New York next week. You know,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: we we go on a road trip for next week
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and then they come into town. So uh, probably no kisses,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: but I'm.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Sure i'll uh, I'll be excited to kind of hopefully
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: get in one of those games.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: Did you ask him? Did you text you?
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: Did you text did you text him and say, oh,
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: you know hey man, like I mean, you know, your
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: locker mate, you you could have been like, you know,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: you know, let's say you guys, you know, were in
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: the ninth inning against each other somehow, and you finish
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: it off and you just look over at him and
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: maybe to him, and then everyone thinks it's to the
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Blue Jays, but you're really just doing it to him.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: You know, uh, man, I don't know how that would
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: go down, you know, especially I think he probably he'd
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: probably laugh at it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I think it depends on the circumstances. You know, everyone's
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: pretty competitive.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: So uh.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: But you know, when you're in the heat of the moment,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: those things kind of happen. It's just it's just out
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: of pure adrenaline and and you know, you're just competing
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: So uh.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: But when I when I did see that though he
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: did that, I definitely got a good chuckle out of it.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Getting getting to know him and uh, I.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Did not see that coming.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: But one of those things you're like, all right, cool,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: that's that was pretty u in the heat of the moment,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: being able to do that, it's that's something.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that was awesome.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Todd Father. I want to pull a very expensive card
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: out of a pack, very difficult to do and very expensive.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: I can't pay for it? Okay, how could I acquire
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: that card?
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Simple?
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Instead of driving somewhere, you go on Arena Club, Go
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: get you a slab pack, and you have some of
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: the best cards you're ever going to see, some one
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: of ones, some cards that you want to have, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: you can't get out of your home.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Go right online check out Arena Club.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I cannot recommend it enough. And every time you rip
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: a slab pack, Arena Club will make you an instant
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: offer for your card based on its market value. That's right,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: no guessing, no waiting, instant offer for the estimated fair
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: market value. You can accept it on the spot and
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: you can use that cash for another slab pack or
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: you can buy, sell, trade. This platform has it all
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: for the collectors out there. And right now you can
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: get twenty percent off your first slab pack or card
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: purchase by going to Arena club dot com slash foul
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: and use codefoul. That's Arena Club dot com slash foul
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: code foul for twenty percent off your first purchase. What
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: did you think of the flatty Junior deal? Because you
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: were there in spring training when it felt like a
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: dominated camp for a few weeks and then everyone's like,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: oh man, the deadline pass. But then they got it
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: done and it seems like, you know, there's almost like
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: a sigh of relief because I mean you can speak
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: to it. You see, other players have to answer those
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: questions for weeks because if there's nothing else going on,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: that's the storyline that dominates, and you can only ask
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Gladdy's so much. Then other teammates get asked about it.
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I think for first and foremost super happy for him.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I know he really loves being in Toronto. So excited
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: for him to kind of get that weight off his shoulder.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I know, like the grand scheme of things he was
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: going to like get his but the fact that he
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: wanted to be in Toronto and they were able to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: get it done, I have that hold.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Over his head is great.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: So but it was it was very interesting because especially
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: kind of when I showed up late, like that's all
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: everyone was talking about his deal and the deadline and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: everything like that. But from a player perspective being in camp,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like something at least from my view that
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: like was super like talked about. At least from the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: player side, it was definitely like more immediate just kind
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: of like covering it media driven that way, but from
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the player perspective, he was just going about his business,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: doing his thing, and you know that thing was kind
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of like on getting taken care of obviously and just
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: more about just kind of getting work in, getting ready.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: For the season and you know, putting up a good
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: team and good season together.
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: Yeahs back to the to the pitching staff over there
• 10:11
  Speaker 6: at the Yankees, you are you joining that squad is
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: a big help sidering all of the injuries. What's the
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: vibe like, especially out in the bullpen knowing that with
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: this many starting pitchers going down, you guys are gonna
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: have to probably cover cover more innings.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's I've been on some some really
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: good teams and you know the bullpen here is has
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: got some electric guys down there, so with some unbelievable stuff. So, uh,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: it's just a matter of you know how it is, man,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you just you're picking each other up. You know, things
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: happen throughout the year where you have some injuries and
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you kind of just the next man up and you
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: gotta step up and cover those innings. You know, there's
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: just a matter of how you do it. There's always
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: that set number of innings you gotta cover every single year.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: So some days their starters are gonna like really cover
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: us and give us a day off, and some days
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: we're gonna pick them up too. So, uh we understand that,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: especially early on when guys are still like building up
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: and through that process, you understand like you just really
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: got to like be on top of your things and
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: making sure you're recovering and getting your work in so you're.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Able to go and whenever you're called upon.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: But uh man, there's a ton of good guys on
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: this team, especially in the bullpen with electric stuff and
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the starter. So hopefully those guys get healthy and you know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: we'll be in a good spot before now we're good
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: and confident enough we can pick up their innings for
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: them whenever they need it year.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: What's it like being on the Yankees compared to when
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: you were like on Let's use the Rays for example.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: When you're on the Rays, like Yankees can go out
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: and get whoever they want to get in trades, and
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: when you're on the Rais, they were like, hey, you know, Ryan,
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: we're gonna need you to start close, set up and
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: pitch long relief all in one week.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: So can you do that for us?
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: What's the Is there a different feeling as a player,
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: because I know when you had confidence in your front
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: office to go get the pieces you need, You're like,
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: all right, we can do this, we can stay sharp,
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: they'll eventually get us the help. And then I was
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: on teams where you're like, we know they're not going
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: to get us any help this.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: We got what we got.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: You know, like I've been on on both ends of
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the spectrum, and I think that's what makes me be
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: successful with how like different roles I've done. It is
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: from dealing all that with that Tampa because like you said,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: literally it's just hey, you got to sink or swim,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and you either got to get on board or you're
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: not going to be able to like.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Cut it here.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: So like there's a lot of different things where you
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: got to like take into perspective over there and just
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: be ready to go whenever called upon and whatever role
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: because they're going to do some unique things over there.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: But it kind of builds you up for whenever you
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: get to do their places. Hey do you mind doing this?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Man, that's fine.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I've done that however many times, so we're in a
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: good spot with that, but it is it is crazy
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to think about where a team.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Like this like Okay, you guys need a guy, we
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: can go get it for you.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: You know, you saw that with with La last year
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: when I was there for those two years.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: They're gonna get you those those guys. But I think
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: that was the tough part about Tampa.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Not tough, but like it was a unique situation where
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you knew this was it, but at the same time
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: it made you like feel like you had to step
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: at a little.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: More like Okay, cool, we got this. You know, we
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: have a really good group here.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: But they also had so many young guys where they
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: just seemed to bring up on the guy who throws
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: mid to high nineties with just electric stuff. So it's
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: incredible how they develop and keep guys over there. But
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: excited to kind of see how we continue to grow
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: here with New York and especially like they're going to
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: go get whatever we kind of need to help win,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: especially after being the we're getting that taste of the
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: World series last year.
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: Speaking of Roles, I'm really interested because you just came
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: from two organizations that are notoriously good at kind of
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: filling in their relievers with what their role is going
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: to be for the coming series or who they might face.
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: But you kind of are a guy who's done everything
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: and so as someone who did a bunch of different
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: roles as well, and when I locked in and the
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: game kind of changed over over time. Are you one
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: of those guys that you've pitched so many different roles
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: that that the phone ringing isn't surprising to you anymore?
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: Because I know that some guys struggle with it because
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: they've been.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: In one role for so long.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: Are you just always expecting it from the first pitch
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: of the game all the way to last that it
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: could be you coming through that phonecent?
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: You know, I think like it's one of those things where,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: like you said, if you're able to like get something,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: it gives you that sense of like, Okay, you know,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: like I'm maybe not the first guy up, but you
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: still got to be ready just in case, because you
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: know things can change throughout the game, you know, matchups
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: however things go, So it gives you a little bit
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: of sense of understanding, Okay, cool, this is my lane.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for these couple guys or you know, I'm
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: gonna be a length guy today, So you got to
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: be ready early on. So having that communication definitely can help.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, like you don't always get
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that luxury, so you gotta be ready to go. And
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I think it was what a couple of years ago,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: I think I got traded to LA and I think
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I was open. I think we had an opener whatever reason.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Either way, I knew I was coming in early. And
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: some like a couple of the younger guys were like,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: you know, you're just sitting there chit chat and all
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: of a sudden the phone rings and you just get up.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: And get going, Like whoa, Like how did you just
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: do that? Like you flip the switch? BI, Like you
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: just got to be ready at all times.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Like it's one of those things where it's got to
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: expect the phone to ring. But at the same time,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: like if you just sit there and anticipate the phone ring,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna drive yourself insane because you're just gonna
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: be too locked in and just crazy adrenaline rush.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: You just got to relax until it rings, then just
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: go about in the business and get get to work.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: That's a great perspective on how to be ready? All right,
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: do you know what happens on May thirtieth? By the way,
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: all right, give have any idea what May thirtieth is.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm being set up here, so I
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: don't actually May.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, I just want to know. I just
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I want to I want to know your answer to
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: this question.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: You get you as a Yankee, you get to go
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: to Los Angeles and play against the Dodgers.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: They're probably gonna give you your World Series ring on
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: that day.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Are you gonna walk into the Yankees clubhouse and be like,
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: what's up, fools?
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: I got this thing on my finger?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Oh man, That's like someone was saying that because we
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: always knew, like we're like, oh, you're gonna get it.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: And like when I'm like, oh, it'll probably just be
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: whenever you play them during the year, and especially when
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: whenever I signed here, I was like, it took me
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a couple of days to kind of realize that. So no,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I will I will stash that thing away so fast
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: and you know, maybe look at it later or something.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: But you know, no, I definitely can't bring that thing
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: around for sure.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: No, nothing, do you think somebody on the Yankees will
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: say to you, though, I want to see it because
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: there's gonna be somebody somebody. Bellinger was an l a guy,
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: but there's gonna have to be you know, there's somebody
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: on the Yankees. It's gonna say, bro, I know you're
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: not supposed to show me that, but come on, let me.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: We'll just sneak a peek at that thing.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sure somebody will, and you know, we'll have to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: like just do it very discreetly if that's the case,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: but you know, like we'll we'll try to keep that
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: pretty low key. But I definitely knew that was coming
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: up on something on some some level. But you know, we'll, uh,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: we'll definitely handle that when the time comes, you know,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: hopefully have a better feel of things being here a
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Longer by that point.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: But at the same time where we're not gonna make
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: that a big deal by any means necessary.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: It's a good teammate, right, it's a good teammate, but
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: i'd make it a huge deal.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: It's the World Series Ring, right, I mean the World
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Series Ring part of it.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: It's I know it's who he's o. I know, I

  Speaker 4: know it's you versus ice Cube. Yeah, a lot of layers.
• 17:03

• 17:09
