  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you happen to be playing for a team
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: where you'll get a lot of sun the entire season now,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: which will be nice for you too. So I wanted
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to start, actually Mason with WBC News since it's real hot.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Did you see the news today about Clayton Kershaw?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I did about that one.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: What do you think count count me in the surprised boat?
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: But uh, you know that just adds.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: To the uh you.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Know, the further allure of the WBC.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: You got guys coming out of the woodwork that you know,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: you weren't even expecting to go to an already like
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: star studded cast of guys, and I'm just so stoked
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: to go hang out with them, and uh, you know,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: try to bring us thing home for for our country.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Do you do you go into it saying yes, you're
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: playing for Team USA, But do you go into it
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: saying Okay, Clayton Kershaw's pitching, ah, man, I hope he's
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: got it. I hope. I hope he's got it because
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: we're looking to win this thing and you need everybody
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: hitting on all cylinders because even a team like Brazil
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: can can get a win, even a team like Great
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Britain can get a win, and that could mean you
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: guys don't win it all.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's early, early in the year for sure, So
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: I think just having having the ability to treat some
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: of the games, the exhibition games, getting a couple of
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: early spring training games is at least how I'm approaching it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: And I think it's it's kind of silly to sit
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: here and say that guys are going to be in
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: mid season form in March, but you know, it's just
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: kind of rising to the occasion, and these guys are
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: all all competitors. You know, a guy like Kershaw's pitch
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: you know how many years now and pitches so many
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: big games, so he's not scared of the big moments.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: And you know, he wouldn't be signing up to come
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: to something like this if he didn't see himself as
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: being prepared for it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: So I don't think that's something to worry about at all.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Clayton Kershaw has never not just look at his
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: baseball reference, He's never not done it. So it'll be fine,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: you said not mid season fourm So when you go
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: out there for your first exhibition game with Team USA,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: I don't know who you guys will play, but it'll
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: be somebody out in Arizona. You guys are training Arizona,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: right or Florida?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, Arizona.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Okay. And you are only topping out at ninety eight.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: You're fine with that. You're like, I'm good. I know
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: I got one hundred and four, but I'm totally fine.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: And then the first game you're facing Brazil, closing the
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: game out and it's still just ninety eight. You're fine
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: with that.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know if the velocity is what I was
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: referring to. I think that'll be there. The adrenaline, it
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: will be good. Drenaline will be good. It's just about
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: harnessing it. And you know how polished are you going
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: to be in March? You know, for me, I'm throwing
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: indoors right now, so I'm gonna get some spikes in
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: the dirt here in a couple of weeks and you know,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: let the thing get rolling a little bit.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But you know the way that you're feeling, at least.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: For me, you know, I feel like I'm hitting my
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: stride in the summertime and coming down the stretch. And
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: that's not to say that you're not in a good
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: place coming into the year, but you know, just just
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the different things you've worked on in the offseason, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: you know, trying to roll those out and compete at
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the same time is sometimes a fine needle to thread.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: But the lights come on, and you know we're competitors,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: so you're gonna find a way regardless, even if it's
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: a spring training game. You know, you know, I have
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: a hard time going out there and just saying like
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I don't care about the results. You know, I'm just
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: worried about feel. That's what some older guys have said.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: But you know, anytime I get a guy in the box,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: I'm competing.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: So you're saying, adrenaline brings the best out in you,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: crazy crazy stat to bring us because we saw you
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: in the playoffs. Is there any way to duplicate that?
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Because we saw what you can bring in the playoffs
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: from not just velocity, everyone loves to see a hunt
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: and four fastest pitch of the year or whatever. But
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: just the location, the fact that you were pretty much
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: untouchable when you were spotting pitches. Does your adrenaline can
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: you can you figure out because you experienced the playoffs
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: last year, can you figure out a way to spike
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: that same adrenaline to get yourself that superpower and be
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: like you were in the playoffs the whole season.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Pitching in a bunch of different atmospheres over the course
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: of my career, I'm going to say, yes, you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I've pitched. I've pitched in stadiums where there has been
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: much anybody there, and I've pitched in stadiums where it's
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: buzzing from the first pitch to the last pitch. So
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: for me, like I said, as a competitor, you get
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: a guy in the box, whether it's ten am on
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: a backfield in spring training or you know, the wild
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Card Series in Chicago, like I'm bringing my best either way,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: and you know, maybe the adrenaline is is kind of
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: a you can't simulate it, you know, So those situations,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: it's kind of how do you get yourself psyched out
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: and ready to go and a lot of times for me,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: it's you know, the team and the other guy that's
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: in the box, you know, not not the hell loud,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: the fans are cheering.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Talk about adrenaline rush, thoughts about maybe being a starter.
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: I mean, I know there was people talking about that,
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: maybe you coming in and from the first inning on.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know what your your thoughts are
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: on that, what your feelings are where you're at right
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: now and you're pitching, but I don't know what do
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: you got on that that kind of thought process.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems like everybody's got a lot of thoughts.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I had my money on Kratz being the one to
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: bring it up. But yeah, it's an exciting It's an
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: exciting conversation. It's been had year in and year out
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: since you know, I did transition to the bullpen, and uh,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: you know, I've had a lot of success and right
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: now to go away from that success doesn't make sense
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: for me. You know, my first year into the art system,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I'm being comped as a as a reliever and a
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: pretty good reliever at that. So I'm going to keep
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: that ball rolling right now, and that's I'm never going
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: to be the guy that rules it out down the line,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: but that I will admit it is.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Hard to go away from something you're having a lot
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: of success with.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: And you know, I think my value right now is
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: that being the lockdown guy in the ninth or late
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: in games whatever that we need to close a game
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: out and being a part of a really good bullpen,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: and you know, something that I take pride into. And
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: you know, down the road maybe we'll see, but this
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: year we're looking at the bullpen.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I appreciate you thinking that I would ask that question,
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: but Todd is very valid and he's able to ask
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: that type of question. I'm just looking out for your cash, Mason.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: I see it. I see it. But your manager was
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: on also an ex reliever, and he's exact quote was
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: he's the best in the entire world coming out of
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: the bullpen. So I want your reaction to your new
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: manager saying that, but I also want your your opinion
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: who is the best closer in the game right now?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Well, the reaction to Stay I'm saying that is awesome
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: to hear. We got to know him a little bit
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: these past couple of months, but I'm really looking forward
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: to not only building that relationship, with him this year,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: but also just a full season with the guys, you know,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: and seeing seeing this thing through from opening day till
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: till whenever we played that last game, which which hopefully
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: is late late into the postseason. But yeah, best best
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: reliever for me looking through this year. Obviously I put
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: myself up there, but I'm never one to say that,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm the best. I always think there's guys
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: that you're chasing and and things you're looking to emulate
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: from others. I thought Duran with the Phillies this year
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: was awesome. Chapman obviously had an incredible year, and he's
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: been doing that for so many years. But to do
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: it at the point of career that he's at and
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: you know, being the guy up there in Boston is
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: really fun to watch and it always has been since
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I was a Pirates fan growing up watching him do
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: it against the Buckus.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: So that's fair like that. And he's Jack and if
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: you didn't say Chappie, I'm pretty sure pretty much people
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: think he would kill you. So it's just he's a scary,
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: nice little teddy bear. Your manager is an ex reliever,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: do you think that that's going to be an advantage
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: for you guys down in the pen. There's managers that
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: really know how to use their bullpen and really take
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: care of guys. But do you feel like that's an
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: advantage for a team like you guys who have on
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: paper right now, I think it's the best bullpen starting
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: the season, because I get it you lost to Robert Suarez,
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: but at the end of the year last year you
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: were the best bullpen in the game, and I feel
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: like you're starting out the season that way. So is
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: that an advantage to have Craig being an ex reliever?
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Are doue imagine a way that it's not going to be?
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: You know, I think just the awareness that Rubin and
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Fritz already bring from the pitching.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Side, and then you throw in the stand.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: Also, you know, spent a lot of time down there,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: knows the conversations we're having, knows how to read between
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: the lines of a guy saying like, yeah, I'm good
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: to go, or yeah I feel good, but you know
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: they've thrown back to back days or things like that.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: I think Worke leg management has been the furthest thing
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: from my worry with with the Padres.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: They've been very good about that. Since the day I
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: walked in the door.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: But I think just matching up those situations and talking
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: to guys about where they find their success and hearing
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: it from the players, because I think that's something that's
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: important to the way the team's heading is you know
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: what players think, and you know, having those honest conversations
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: and not so many of those conversations where you know
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: it's kind of worried about somebody's feelings or anything like that.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's worried about that.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: You put it out there and you know, get your
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: opinion heard and you know it doesn't matter about being
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: right or wrong necessarily, But having a conversation and working
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: into to a mutual agreement I think is going to
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: be key.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: As a guy who's not going into free agency, is
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: you know, you know where you're going, you have your
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: arbitrations off. Do you watch free agency? I got you know,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: you can't watch. You can't do much outside, so it's
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: either video games or free agency in my mind, But
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: do you watch what happens in free agency? And what's
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: your what's the storyline that you're like, I'm really excited
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: to see this. Obviously anything padres, but I think the
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Padres are probably done with the moves that they've made.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: But do you watch it?
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: Of course? I mean I'm a baseball fan. Baseball player
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: player first, but fan second. I like to know what's
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: going on. And I think just as much as fans do,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: you know, we're interested to see where guys end up
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: falling and having those conversations at the gym and amongst.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: The guys you're working out with.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: You know, I think it's fun to theorize and you know,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: be surprised like everybody else when something happens, or say like, hey,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I predicted this months ago. But I always like following,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: following the pitching markets of course, seeing where guys are headed,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: seeing what's important to them. But yeah, like the big
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: ticket guys every year, it's always exciting to see where
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: they gonna end up falling.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: My last question here from a fan, Neil Katz six.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: He asked how much how much have you picked the
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: excuse me? How much have you talked to Trevor Hoffman
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: about closing? Have you picked his brain a lot at all?
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: You know, the big San Diego reliever.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we we spoke a little bit last year.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Actually before the trade even through through Katts's relationship with him.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Uh and you know, just.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Being able to lean on a guy like that a
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: little bit and think about some mentality stuff, which you
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: know sometimes is just you know, turning the page. That
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: was the biggest conversation we had was how do you
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: turn the page from a bad one and go back
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: out there the next night to get the job done.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: So I'm always excited and eager to pick guy's brains,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: especially you know grades like that.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Mason question for you.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: The way the season ended for the Padres obviously wasn't
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: a title, so you know, this is a team that
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: has high xpectations you'd fan based the whole deal, right,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: You've been able to get a taste of this. They
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: were bounced by the Cubs. There were definitely some controversial
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: calls umpire wise, it's leading to pushing forward. How excited
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: do you think the team will be that they'll have
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the ability to challenge missed calls coming up this season?
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I'm extremely interested to see how it goes. I mean,
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: we've had a little bit of experience in the minor
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: leagues are on a rehab assignment, but seeing it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: At the big league level, I think will be really
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: really interesting.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: You know, as a closer, I'm kind of hoping the
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: other team burns up all their challenges before they get
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: to me, because I can already see the game ends,
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: and you know it's they got one challenge left, and
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: it's like, well, we're just going to challenge it just
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: because we have it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: But we'll see.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: I think it'll be something something, really. I guess different
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: teams will manage it different ways, so you know, if
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: there's guys that aren't allowed the challenge or guys that
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: are allowed to challenge, you know, how does that get
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: filtered out? As a pitcher, I'm always just gonna rely
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: on the catcher because I'm gonna get too emotional with it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: So I don't think you'll see me challenge a single
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: pitch all year. That's fair.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: I like that you talked about ending the games the
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: game's over. Are you gonna or have you thought about
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: having a different walkout song music? Because now you're in
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: a different city, you have, you know, kind of a
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: starting a new chapter. I obviously played for the Padres
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: last year, but if you're the closer, if you're designated
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: the closer, I'm not sure what they're gonna do with that?
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Do you do you try to change your walkout music?
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Potentially there there's been conversations and you know, I guess
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: I'll put you guys in the same boat as everybody else.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: We'll find out when I come out of the bullpen
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: from my first selling this year.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: Is it a tough decision? Is it tough to side
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: between do you have? I mean if you narrowed it
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: down to like because some guys are like, ah, man,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: I got four songs I'm really loving with Meek Mill's
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: putting now, with Drake's putting now, like what Breaking Benjamin's putting?
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: It?
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Like, can you give us a genre? And is it
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: down to like two songs?
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: It's definitely down to a few songs, but kind of
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: encapsulating that energy coming out and then you know, obviously
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: with an electric stadium and fan base, you kind of
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: see how they respond to it. Nickelback seem to be
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: so so last year. So I think we're gonna go
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: different round.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: And I'm gonna finish with this. I want to go
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: back to comedy. So you said you're gonna take the
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: You're too emotional, You're not gonna challenge any of the pitches.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: So I have a hard time believe in that three
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: two count. You gotta run around. You're up one a
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: pitch that could end the game. You're not gonna go
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: crazy and go hold on, hold on, I gotta I'm
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: calling I'm calling bullshit. I'm just being I know it's
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: gonna happen one or two times and you're gonna scream
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: your head off.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: I just I'm taking I'm taking this move, this moves
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: out out of these, I might go, I might go
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: palms up or something, but yeah, I got my My
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: entire trust is in Freddie back there and decisions he's
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: gonna make.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: He's seeing it. You know.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: If we get to a point of the year and
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: he tells me, like, I want you to challenge one
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: just to just to try it, I mean, I guess
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: it's the same situation I said about the hitters. If
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: we're at the end of the game and we have
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: a couple left, you may as well use them.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: But uh, you know, go ahead one and a half.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: I'm calling the over. You're gonna do it more than
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: one and a half.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Time put over under and a half.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, if Freddy convinced it, because really
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: the thing is, I mean, Mason, you could go like
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: this like whoa, and then Freddy's reading you, Freddie forming
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: your catcher here for the Padres coming up this season,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and then be like, all right, I got your back.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I'm doing it.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Maybe, I think fred Freddie will if I throw my
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: hands up, he'll hit me with one of these right away.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it is off.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: The best, the best receivers, the best receivers have said
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: I forget who it was. If it was David Price,
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: it was somebody was talking about how when jose Molina
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: was back there, he's like, bro, no it was Chris Archer.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: I think it was Ah whatever, Who cares who it was.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: They were like, dude, I almost got thrown out of
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: like three games because jose Molina would be like and
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, that's a strike, and the umpire calls
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: it a ball and he throws it back and I'm
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: sitting here like that's a strike. So yes, great, John Mason.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: I don't let these two non catchers tell you you
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: know where. Look, look, you're so good. You could be
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: like all right, that's fine, who cares if I didn't
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: get the next benches and out like you have it
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: I control yourself.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: It's human nature.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: It's human nature.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Now that he's not human, do it.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna see one. He's gonna freak out one
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: time too, and we're gonna get him on the show
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: and I'm gonna go like this, I told.
