- 0:22Speaker 2: is hosting for the first time, entering the media world. Joe,
- 0:24Speaker 2: great to have you on. Thanks for the time. Man,
- 0:26Speaker 2: What do you think is stripping this seat?
- 0:30Speaker 1: I saw you? Uh whatever?
- 0:32Speaker 3: What about?
- 0:32Speaker 1: What was that sad in the green room? Wow? I
- 0:35Speaker 1: saw you a j asked you a question strip and
- 0:37Speaker 1: you kind of dropped the ball on it. Buddy, he said,
- 0:40Speaker 1: isn't it good for baseball? And then you just paused
- 0:42Speaker 1: for like five seconds. Dude, if you're gonna host a show,
- 0:44Speaker 1: you got to bean.
- 0:46Speaker 4: Wow. Wow, Joe right off the bat, Joe a better teammate.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Ross you for like forty eight hours, and I had
- 1:00Speaker 1: no problem for him.
- 1:02Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you.
- 1:03Speaker 5: I saw Alan Craig the other day in San Diego
- 1:05Speaker 5: and I said, I go, you have to admit I
- 1:07Speaker 5: was the best teammate you were have He said, Well,
- 1:09Speaker 5: except for I got traded while you were on the
- 1:11Speaker 5: trading game.
- 1:12Speaker 4: Well, I'm like, that's a good point. I was taking
- 1:13Speaker 4: a nap.
- 1:14Speaker 5: I was probably hungover in San Diego, and I took
- 1:16Speaker 5: a nap because I wasn't gonna play. You and Joe
- 1:18Speaker 5: Kelly got traded on the ticker while I was sitting
- 1:21Speaker 5: on the training table.
- 1:22Speaker 4: Its pretty often.
- 1:25Speaker 1: I will never forget that day, bro. Like, first of all,
- 1:29Speaker 1: I don't know if I know your fans know everyone
- 1:31Speaker 1: knows AJ right around the league.
- 1:33Speaker 3: We knew a J.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Me and a J are are very similar. We just
- 1:37Speaker 1: kind of sa say what we're thinking. But for Saint
- 1:41Speaker 1: Louis to to have it's a trade for a guy
- 1:44Speaker 1: like AJ probably didn't do as much research as they thought.
- 1:48Speaker 1: They figured out when AJ got in the clubhouse and
- 1:50Speaker 1: MATHENI was like, crap, dude, we can't have two of
- 1:53Speaker 1: these guys on our team, especially one one being a
- 1:55Speaker 1: young one being a young guy, you know what I mean.
- 1:57Speaker 1: So let's just let's just keep the old guy here
- 1:59Speaker 1: and get rid of the young guy who probably won't
- 2:02Speaker 1: ever change his ways. And here we go. So Bostin was.
- 2:06Speaker 4: Gonna worked out.
- 2:07Speaker 5: It worked out for you, though you won three World
- 2:09Speaker 5: Series later on, so I think I think you made
- 2:11Speaker 5: the right decision.
- 2:13Speaker 4: You got the better of that trade by far.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Very true.
- 2:18Speaker 2: All right, first off, Joe, and then I'll let these
- 2:22Speaker 2: guys kind of take it away.
- 2:23Speaker 6: But but where are you at?
- 2:24Speaker 2: So how are you on rehabbing?
- 2:26Speaker 6: Where are you at?
- 2:28Speaker 1: Oh, I would say, I'm in the kitchen. Bro got
- 2:30Speaker 1: dirty clean dishes up there. Uber eats a burrito because
- 2:34Speaker 1: my wife left with my baby. So now it's just
- 2:37Speaker 1: me and my nine year olds playing Fortnite upstairs. So
- 2:39Speaker 1: I was like, screw it, I'm ordering me broots. But
- 2:42Speaker 1: I threw off the mound on shoot Sunday. I got
- 2:46Speaker 1: a bullpen tomorrow and I got another bullpen Sunday, so
- 2:49Speaker 1: it's coming good. It was one of those things where
- 2:53Speaker 1: I didn't know if I would be able to throw
- 2:55Speaker 1: a ball that well without surgery, and so far it's
- 3:00Speaker 1: it's been amazing. Strength. Is there movements there? Obviously for
- 3:05Speaker 1: the first one and in first couple of ones. Zero
- 3:08Speaker 1: zero velocity, I mean velocity is exactly where I thought
- 3:12Speaker 1: it would be right now for the first time getting
- 3:14Speaker 1: on the mountain especially, you know, it's not like I've
- 3:16Speaker 1: been like grinding my butt off in the weight room
- 3:18Speaker 1: either because I want to see how my arm fiels.
- 3:19Speaker 1: If my arm didn't feel good there, it would have
- 3:21Speaker 1: been like a waste of time to lift without having
- 3:23Speaker 1: my arm feel good. So now the arm feels good.
- 3:27Speaker 1: It's one of those things where I kind of find
- 3:30Speaker 1: a balance of you know, how fast can I go?
- 3:33Speaker 1: How quickly can I get you know, velocity back? Do
- 3:37Speaker 1: I really need to to push my body in the
- 3:40Speaker 1: weight room at this this point in time, at at
- 3:42Speaker 1: my specific age, especially if I'm you know, only looking
- 3:45Speaker 1: to play you know, a month, two months and give
- 3:49Speaker 1: it all I got for a month and two months
- 3:50Speaker 1: and then let it go. But like I said that,
- 3:53Speaker 1: the throws have been great, no pain. Arm speed is there,
- 3:58Speaker 1: which tells me that velocity will come back. Uh, you know,
- 4:02Speaker 1: in the in the air.
- 4:03Speaker 6: Future, Joe, I'm behind man. What uh what what procedure
- 4:07Speaker 6: did you have?
- 4:10Speaker 1: I went out of the country to some Kobe snu
- 4:13Speaker 1: Oh nice, you know they know, but hey, jump test me.
- 4:19Speaker 1: I will be a waste your money.
- 4:26Speaker 5: Hey, No, be careful, be careful, because no, I played
- 4:29Speaker 5: with the Hey I went I played with the guy
- 4:33Speaker 5: once in My name is name he disappeared one year
- 4:35Speaker 5: and he came back the next year.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Was throwing a lot harder. It was weird. I don't know,
- 4:39Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 4:40Speaker 1: I don't I think my frame could throw any harder. Dude,
- 4:43Speaker 1: I'd like it would completely just rip off the arm.
- 4:46Speaker 5: Well, here's my question for you. Used to throw used
- 4:48Speaker 5: to throw a hundred. So when you say your velocity
- 4:50Speaker 5: is there, what was it like ninety two? But you
- 4:52Speaker 5: never threw a hundred. You always do curveballs and change ups.
- 4:55Speaker 5: Why didn't you ever want to throw a hundred? You're like, hey, Korea,
- 4:58Speaker 5: watch this. I'm gonna throw you nineteen sliders in rowing then.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Because it's the best. It was the best pitch rated
- 5:05Speaker 1: pitch in the league. What didn't you want to show
- 5:06Speaker 1: your Ferrari goos one hundred and or two hundred and
- 5:09Speaker 1: twelve miles an hour if you had it? You know
- 5:11Speaker 1: what I mean? If you have the best rated off
- 5:13Speaker 1: speed pitch per numbers or analytics in the in the league. Uh,
- 5:18Speaker 1: and your fastball is like a top fifty, why if
- 5:23Speaker 1: you want to show the number one pitch. It's like
- 5:25Speaker 1: you don't have a twelve pack and you're gonna keep
- 5:26Speaker 1: your shirt on, you know what I mean.
- 5:29Speaker 7: Every now and then, if I just have like thirty
- 5:31Speaker 7: seconds to blow, I'll go look at the Joe Kelly
- 5:34Speaker 7: versus Eric Hosmer three front hip sinkers at like one
- 5:37Speaker 7: oh one. It's like one of the craziest three pitch
- 5:40Speaker 7: sequences I've ever seen.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Joe those that that was just a luck. Yet Bat,
- 5:44Speaker 1: I had the wind no, no, you know how like
- 5:47Speaker 1: in San Diego sometimes it all moves like ten inches
- 5:50Speaker 1: more than supposed to do because number one, you're lower
- 5:54Speaker 1: your lower sea level, and number two, sometimes you get
- 5:56Speaker 1: that cross win and I I kind of knew it
- 6:00Speaker 1: was coming, and I threw one just as even work,
- 6:02Speaker 1: and it worked, and I was like, screwed, I'm gonna
- 6:05Speaker 1: shake every time to this. So that was a fun.
- 6:07Speaker 1: That was the fun of Bat. Obviously, it's it's impossible
- 6:10Speaker 1: to make the ball move like that every time you
- 6:13Speaker 1: take the mount. But when you're in the right place,
- 6:16Speaker 1: it's kind of like Toronto, Like you know, it's strollman
- 6:19Speaker 1: back the day was front front hipp and lefties. It's
- 6:22Speaker 1: kind of like that same kind of wind in that
- 6:24Speaker 1: same kind of mount.
- 6:26Speaker 5: Joe, So you're definitely coming back right you haven't unlike
- 6:28Speaker 5: striped Chicken strip you have not retired.
- 6:31Speaker 4: And if you come back, will you sign with the.
- 6:34Speaker 5: Dodgers because they played the Padres again in August, so
- 6:37Speaker 5: you could front hip somebody and then you could go
- 6:40Speaker 5: was it who was it?
- 6:41Speaker 4: Who was it that charged you that time?
- 6:42Speaker 5: And you're like, come on, let's go, oh tyler tyler y, Yes,
- 6:49Speaker 5: because their rivalry is intense. Right, I've been known to
- 6:52Speaker 5: throw one at you know, close to people the last
- 6:54Speaker 5: few times.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I made it. I made it known, which
- 7:00Speaker 1: people would say, it's back back for marketing, but I
- 7:02Speaker 1: could give a crap. I come back healthy. I'm only
- 7:05Speaker 1: playing for one team, Messa Dodgers. Boom, there you go.
- 7:10Speaker 7: Okay, sorry, I go and speak speaking of that Joe, like,
- 7:14Speaker 7: you know, looking back at our time in LA and
- 7:16Speaker 7: I got there a little bit before you, and I
- 7:18Speaker 7: think I'm gonna ask you toot your own horn a
- 7:20Speaker 7: little bit. But I always wondered why this was the case,
- 7:23Speaker 7: which is you were just beloved in the locker room,
- 7:25Speaker 7: as I'm sure you are everywhere. But we've had some
- 7:27Speaker 7: guys come through that locker room that were maybe as
- 7:32Speaker 7: as crazy as you are, who were not as well received,
- 7:34Speaker 7: and without naming too many names, maybe guys like Spergio Romo, Alex.
- 7:37Speaker 6: Ferdugo, et cetera, you know, who have their own little
- 7:41Speaker 6: things like you do.
- 7:42Speaker 7: But like, how come you think we loved you so
- 7:46Speaker 7: much versus some of those other guys aren't able to
- 7:48Speaker 7: fit in despite being I don't know, on your own plan,
- 7:52Speaker 7: as we like to say on your own program.
- 7:57Speaker 1: I think it's it's just I don't know, there's there's
- 8:01Speaker 1: a there's something in human beings where you could you
- 8:03Speaker 1: could tell instantly if someone's full full of crap, right
- 8:05Speaker 1: or if they're not. I mean, I think it's it's
- 8:09Speaker 1: once you see me in person, I feel like you
- 8:13Speaker 1: realize quickly that it's genuine and you know that's just
- 8:16Speaker 1: how he is, right, And you kind of have to
- 8:18Speaker 1: put in the work with your teammates and and or
- 8:21Speaker 1: if you're not putting in the work with teamates, like
- 8:22Speaker 1: you have to put in the work of going in
- 8:24Speaker 1: by your business the right way, and so people could
- 8:27Speaker 1: watch that right, So like you can't just bark on
- 8:31Speaker 1: people to you know, get in the weight room. If
- 8:32Speaker 1: you don't get in the weight room, and you know,
- 8:34Speaker 1: act all big and tough and and and kind of
- 8:37Speaker 1: show up late to stretch or you know, don't run
- 8:41Speaker 1: poles with the other bullpen guys if they're running poles
- 8:43Speaker 1: that day. So I think there's like checks and balances
- 8:47Speaker 1: within like a team, and you and AJ know, well,
- 8:50Speaker 1: if who's going about the right way, you know, who's
- 8:53Speaker 1: not skipping out on their treatments if they're sore. So
- 8:56Speaker 1: like you can kind of see like does he follow
- 8:57Speaker 1: all those steps? And it's something that that I've done,
- 9:02Speaker 1: And like you said, if you you would think and
- 9:05Speaker 1: you kind of group me in a category with with
- 9:07Speaker 1: those other guys, right, But then when you peel back
- 9:10Speaker 1: the curtain, you're like, oh, he's like that, but obviously
- 9:14Speaker 1: he does everything else the right way. He's not skipping
- 9:16Speaker 1: you know, this thing he's not, you know, going out
- 9:20Speaker 1: late at night, he's not. You know, I don't know.
- 9:22Speaker 1: There's just a bunch of little different things that it's
- 9:24Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to explain where it's It's a
- 9:27Speaker 1: it's an eyeball test to me, I.
- 9:28Speaker 6: Think crats real talk.

- 10:37Speaker 5: Though you said something you'd only sign with the Dodgers.
- 10:39Speaker 5: So if the Padres Athletics White Sox came to you
- 10:45Speaker 5: and said one year, you get five million for the
- 10:48Speaker 5: rest of the year. Which one of those teams would
- 10:50Speaker 5: you rather play for? Not shake your head, which one

- 10:58Speaker 5: pick one and everyone has a price.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Shoot. Okay, White Sox Padres was the third athletic.
- 11:05Speaker 4: We'll throw the Rocky We'll throw the Rockies into just
- 11:08Speaker 4: for fun.
- 11:09Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, White Sox, I've done. I'm out. That's easy. Uh,
- 11:21Speaker 1: way Diego, San Diego is out, even though it's beautiful.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Now it's A's Are Rockies? Gosh, dang.
- 11:33Speaker 6: Ask history Astros?
- 11:35Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, A's are out. I'm not playing in Triple
- 11:39Speaker 1: A Stadium, so it's Astros just Rockies. Wow, this is tough.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Is it the same other? Is everyone the same? In
- 11:47Speaker 1: Houston ownership? Everything's take it all day?
- 11:51Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 11:53Speaker 1: Today Rockies, Rockies, Rockies, Rockies.
- 11:56Speaker 4: How about this?
- 11:57Speaker 1: You get to live I don't believe the Astros made
- 11:58Speaker 1: it so far on my list.
- 12:00Speaker 5: Yeah right, but you get to live at Stripling's house.
- 12:03Speaker 5: Does not change anything. Stripling said you can live in
- 12:05Speaker 5: his guest house.
- 12:07Speaker 6: I did say that.
- 12:08Speaker 1: Yeah, if my family comes, I can't do that. But
- 12:11Speaker 1: if my family doesn't. Yeah, where you live at Castle
- 12:16Speaker 1: Rock where you live strip.
- 12:19Speaker 6: Where west of downtown. I'll say that.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Okay. I have a lot of family in Denver. Some
- 12:25Speaker 1: live in Pueblo, Castle Rock.
- 12:28Speaker 6: I was stuck in Houston.
- 12:29Speaker 7: No, I don't.
- 12:29Speaker 6: I don't know anything.
- 12:30Speaker 7: I don't have a place in Denver. Yeah, you can
- 12:33Speaker 7: say my guest house in Denver.
- 12:34Speaker 6: Well when we find it.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:39Speaker 5: By the way, I'm disappointed White Sox are off so early.
- 12:41Speaker 5: I can't imagine why. I want to know this because
- 12:44Speaker 5: I never got to you ever.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Never retired yet.
- 12:48Speaker 4: Me and I have not retired yet.
- 12:49Speaker 1: No, no, your number retired.
- 12:52Speaker 5: Oh no, no, I mean in high school, but not
- 12:54Speaker 5: not not at the big league. No, trust me. It's
- 12:58Speaker 5: a source of contention. But I want to know this.
- 13:00Speaker 5: I never asked you this so when you were in
- 13:03Speaker 5: LA and I want to know the onest story because
- 13:06Speaker 5: I don't know. And I'm wikipeding you as we speak.
- 13:08Speaker 5: Are you Mexican descent because you came out with all
- 13:12Speaker 5: the Mariachi stuff and it's like, wait a minute, your
- 13:14Speaker 5: name is Joe Kelly and you have all this going on.

- 13:21Speaker 1: My dad's Kelly. My mom's last name is Valencia. The
- 13:23Speaker 1: best of both runs. If you want to live a problem,
- 13:27Speaker 1: you'd be born half Iris's.
- 13:33Speaker 7: That's one of the few bobbleheads I've asked for. Joe
- 13:36Speaker 7: gone back to the Dodgers, asked for as you and
- 13:37Speaker 7: that Mariachi outfit. I don't need the Otani one. I
- 13:40Speaker 7: need the Joe Kelly Mariachi one.
- 13:42Speaker 6: It is sick. It's I'm looking at it right now
- 13:44Speaker 6: and Google it's the best.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Hey, Joe, are you watching games? Are you following anything
- 13:52Speaker 2: or do you just totally isolate everything and work on yourself.
- 13:55Speaker 2: You're following the league.
- 13:57Speaker 1: I'll follow the Dodger games when I can. My on
- 14:00Speaker 1: my my five year old, who's a feeding for baseball.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Not the oldest field is lazy, could care less. He's

- 14:14Speaker 1: the like turn it on himself. He's like really good
- 14:16Speaker 1: with numbers. He knows the standings, Like he'll like walk
- 14:20Speaker 1: up to people, random people in the store or like
- 14:22Speaker 1: a family arm like who do you think is better
- 14:24Speaker 1: the Cardinals or the Rockies? Or the Tigers, and someone
- 14:28Speaker 1: will be like, you know the Rockies. He's like, nah,

- 14:50Speaker 1: Star Baseball. So it's it's it's pretty hectic, but it's fun.
- 14:55Speaker 4: Hey Joe, what about the Yankees.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Last year?
- 14:58Speaker 5: You guys win, you guys sell bread, and then you
- 15:00Speaker 5: guys have a party at Mookie's house and then you
- 15:03Speaker 5: guys just piled on the Yankees. Like, talk to me
- 15:06Speaker 5: about just piling on a team that you guys were.
- 15:09Speaker 4: Like, yeah, we knew we could beat them. I mean
- 15:11Speaker 4: it's the first time.
- 15:12Speaker 5: Now, what's happened in other sports, but this is the
- 15:14Speaker 5: first time I've seen in baseball where teams are like, eh,
- 15:16Speaker 5: they never could beat us.
- 15:17Speaker 4: We knew it from the get go.
- 15:21Speaker 1: I thought it was the same thing as the twenty
- 15:22Speaker 1: eighteen World Series when I was on the Red Sox,
- 15:24Speaker 1: I said, they're betting Kika here and his fourth in
- 15:26Speaker 1: the lineup? Are you kidding me? This is gonna be
- 15:29Speaker 1: you want to.
- 15:30Speaker 4: Sign with the Dodgers. You can't say that you want
- 15:32Speaker 4: to sign with the Dodgers.
- 15:34Speaker 1: But they all I told them to their faces. That's
- 15:36Speaker 1: why they loved me. I said, Bro, you guys are
- 15:37Speaker 1: betting Kik fourth and platooning guys in the World Series. Bro,
- 15:41Speaker 1: what like this is the best the nationally had to
- 15:44Speaker 1: offer the Red Side. I mean, it's just a whole
- 15:45Speaker 1: different team. And then I said the same thing about
- 15:48Speaker 1: the Yankees when I was on the Dodgers. I said,
- 15:50Speaker 1: this is just a completely different mismatch of a team.
- 15:53Speaker 1: And that's what happens. That's what happened in baseball. That's
- 15:55Speaker 1: why they needs to playoff re ranking, you know, because
- 15:58Speaker 1: you need the two best teams like the Padres and
- 15:59Speaker 1: the the play in the World Series.
- 16:01Speaker 4: Period.
- 16:01Speaker 1: That's it. Figure it out, you know what I mean,
- 16:03Speaker 1: There's there's no other way around it. You can't have
- 16:06Speaker 1: you know, the two best teams matchup in the first
- 16:09Speaker 1: round in anything, and in playoff baseball. You know, happened
- 16:13Speaker 1: to my son's all star team. They played a team
- 16:15Speaker 1: called Vineyard, who's the Them and Altalomar are the best
- 16:18Speaker 1: two a round for districts. They match up in the
- 16:20Speaker 1: first game. Now they're about the matchup in the championship
- 16:22Speaker 1: game once they make it through the losers bracket. So
- 16:25Speaker 1: I think it's just people's feelings get hurt. But I
- 16:28Speaker 1: don't give a crap. You know it's truth. It was
- 16:30Speaker 1: a complete mismatch.
- 16:33Speaker 7: Joe my nephew's nine man. So Knox is nine? Now
- 16:36Speaker 7: is he playing like real baseball?
- 16:37Speaker 6: And that that scene?
- 16:39Speaker 1: That scene is wid uh. I don't know if you
- 16:44Speaker 1: saw the other day I got bopped in the forehead
- 16:46Speaker 1: by a fan. If you have time to check it out,
- 16:51Speaker 1: I already told the story. You know I take too
- 16:52Speaker 1: much time. Look up my baseball as at boarding podcast.
- 16:55Speaker 1: I had to go to the sheriff's office after the game.
- 16:59Speaker 1: It was about us winning, but it's about us winning
- 17:01Speaker 1: the World Series. We stopped the game. They said, you
- 17:05Speaker 1: guys can forfeit and take a win. I said, no,
- 17:08Speaker 1: long story short. The manager on the other team, sibling
- 17:11Speaker 1: came over and bought me in the forehead. So I
- 17:13Speaker 1: had a private arrest waiting on a court date. But
- 17:17Speaker 1: you have like forty minutes to kill it's electric to
- 17:19Speaker 1: love it. Wow, cat, But hey, teams a top ten
- 17:29Speaker 1: and in our top ten perfect game and you know
- 17:31Speaker 1: top ten and Utriblissa, there you go.
- 17:35Speaker 6: And dude had the balls to go after you.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Dude is a suspect of a word. But yes, it
- 17:44Speaker 1: had the balls to go after me while I was
- 17:45Speaker 1: sitting on my bucket by the way on the field. Wow,
- 17:50Speaker 1: that is wild. I don't know how can.
- 17:54Speaker 4: That's why I quit coaching my son right there.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Said I was.
- 18:03Speaker 6: I was top nine year old baseball college.
- 18:08Speaker 1: Use sports is a mess in general, dude. And then
- 18:11Speaker 1: the week after in the same big lea dreams place.
- 18:14Speaker 1: I could send you a text, but officers rifles, same
- 18:19Speaker 1: same same tournament, same World Series. Uh, you can hear
- 18:22Speaker 1: it on like I don't know you guys know Game changer, right,
- 18:24Speaker 1: but I've looked it up on Game Changer on the
- 18:26Speaker 1: on the teams that happened to and it's like he's
- 18:27Speaker 1: got a gun, Like someone brought a gun to the game, dude.
- 18:29Speaker 1: And like in here in California, it's crazy, dude, And
- 18:35Speaker 1: it's the Chino Hills one where you know, like, uh,
- 18:38Speaker 1: you know Snoop Doggs from Tuna Hills, you know the
- 18:40Speaker 1: Ball Brothers, you know Lonzo, They're all from China Hills.
- 18:43Speaker 1: So it's the Chino Hills Big Lead Dreams. And you
- 18:45Speaker 1: can see like video live video guys with like officers
- 18:49Speaker 1: with like uh ar fifteens and like you could hear
- 18:52Speaker 1: the other team saying the guy's got a gun. Like
- 18:54Speaker 1: this is just wild, like damn, holy crap's crazy. Yeah, yeah, all.
- 19:00Speaker 2: Right, I got one more for you, going back to
- 19:03Speaker 2: MLB for a moment, just want to get your take on,
- 19:05Speaker 2: I think the biggest drama in this sport this season.
- 19:08Speaker 2: What was your reaction to Raphael Devers getting traded to
- 19:12Speaker 2: actually a team that you might face if you're with
- 19:14Speaker 2: the Dodgers.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Later this season.
- 19:15Speaker 2: You're gonna have to deal with with your boy.
- 19:17Speaker 1: And you played with him right in eighteen. Yeah, I
- 19:20Speaker 1: loved Rafi, dude. I loved him, and I've heard that
- 19:24Speaker 1: you know he was he was loved in Boston, right.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Obviously he ruffles and feathers with the front office, and
- 19:31Speaker 1: then that carried over with the fan base in Boston
- 19:34Speaker 1: and then he gets to the Giants, right, and says
- 19:35Speaker 1: it he'll play anywhere. But I could see both sides
- 19:37Speaker 1: of the story. I could see, you know, Raffi's side
- 19:40Speaker 1: for him kind of trying to stick it to you know,
- 19:44Speaker 1: the front office, you know, which then kind of sucks,
- 19:47Speaker 1: right because then now, if you're a team guy, you're
- 19:49Speaker 1: kind of sticking it to your teammates and they're like, well,
- 19:52Speaker 1: what the heck? Gro Like, we had a guy get
- 19:54Speaker 1: hurt and you know, we needed you to step in,
- 19:56Speaker 1: and you told us no. So I don't know if
- 20:00Speaker 1: conversations were had there, but but but I could see
- 20:02Speaker 1: that side of him, right, Like I would want to
- 20:04Speaker 1: stick it to the man obviously, but I'd also want
- 20:05Speaker 1: to help my teammates out. So if there was like
- 20:07Speaker 1: a middle ground or a middle balance to way that
- 20:09Speaker 1: he could have done it, and I think would have
- 20:11Speaker 1: would have safe faced right, Fans would have loved them,
- 20:13Speaker 1: teammates would have still loved them, and he probably wouldn't
- 20:15Speaker 1: have been traded. But you know, then I could see,
- 20:19Speaker 1: you know, the other side of of you know, being
- 20:22Speaker 1: a manager, Like let's just say a c right, I'm
- 20:24Speaker 1: sure Ac is kind of human where uh you know,
- 20:29Speaker 1: he probably just seen him develop throughout his career because
- 20:31Speaker 1: a C had him. His first year was was was
- 20:34Speaker 1: his rookieyear, was AC's first year. So he probably I mean,
- 20:38Speaker 1: if you asked eighteen twenty eighteen, and if he thought
- 20:40Speaker 1: Rafael Devers would would be able to you know, say
- 20:43Speaker 1: say that, or if he wouldn't be a Red Sox
- 20:45Speaker 1: for life, or if he'd be the Giants, you know,
- 20:47Speaker 1: twenty eighteen core, he'd probably you know, laugh at you
- 20:50Speaker 1: and say he'll know, he'll be he'll be a Red
- 20:53Speaker 1: Sock forever. But yeah, the whole situation how I went
- 20:56Speaker 1: down with was was kind of you know, you're either
- 20:59Speaker 1: are pro anti or you're either pro devors or anti devors.
- 21:04Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean to get to the Giants, you know,
- 21:07Speaker 1: as a as a ex Dodger and maybe be a
- 21:10Speaker 1: Dodger again. You hate to see it because Raffi is
- 21:13Speaker 1: a great ballplayer, he's a great hitter, and the Giants
- 21:16Speaker 1: are are actually going for it. So it's it's interesting
- 21:20Speaker 1: to see. Uh, you know they took I don't know
- 21:23Speaker 1: how much of the money was eaten by the Red Sox,
- 21:27Speaker 1: but you know it's a good move for the Giants.
- 21:29Speaker 1: He's a he's a he's a pure baseball hitter, and
- 21:32Speaker 1: you know he gets a second chance. And and Giants
- 21:34Speaker 1: fans are very similar to Red Sox fans, and you know,
- 21:36Speaker 1: Strip knows. You know, they'll they'll take in and endeavors
- 21:40Speaker 1: with open arms. And you know there's always gonna be someone,
- 21:44Speaker 1: you know, to uh pick up another player from an organization,
- 21:47Speaker 1: you know who was beloved. You know, we kind of
- 21:50Speaker 1: did it the other way with I was named Pablo Sanoval,
- 21:54Speaker 1: you know, but it was Giants the Red Sox. So
- 21:57Speaker 1: I hope nothing but the best Raffi because he's one
- 21:58Speaker 1: of my favorite teammates as a rookie, young kid, you know,
- 22:02Speaker 1: nineteen twenty years old, and he was one of the
- 22:04Speaker 1: first guys into the Yankee Red Sox Brawl with the
- 22:07Speaker 1: with me and Tyler. He was one of the first
- 22:09Speaker 1: guys in. So I will always have a lot of
- 22:12Speaker 1: respects for him.
- 22:14Speaker 4: Hey, Joe, you went to Corona High School.
- 22:15Speaker 1: Right Crowntown? Baby?
- 22:18Speaker 4: Yes, okay, because I have a question for you.
- 22:20Speaker 5: So, my son, his team finished like seventh or eight,
- 22:23Speaker 5: depending on what pole you look on in the national
- 22:25Speaker 5: high school rankings, but.
- 22:26Speaker 4: Corona was the best high school baseball team ever. They sucked.
- 22:31Speaker 4: They didn't even win their section.
- 22:32Speaker 5: Seth Rnandez, the Ebel Boys, all these guys, right, what
- 22:35Speaker 5: the heck happened in Corona?
- 22:37Speaker 4: I don't care what you say. They're not the best
- 22:38Speaker 4: high school team ever.
- 22:40Speaker 1: They weren't even with They couldn't even beat.
- 22:41Speaker 4: What was it? John Bosco, like, come on, like save
- 22:45Speaker 4: you Corona love.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Get what what? What's your guys? What was it? What
- 22:49Speaker 1: was your guys? Seventh grade school?
- 22:50Speaker 4: What name is that first academy in Orlando?
- 22:54Speaker 1: There you go? Corona High School's a public high school
- 22:56Speaker 1: with ninety percent We don't pay for kids to go
- 23:01Speaker 1: to the school.
- 23:02Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, uh it's baseball too.
- 23:05Speaker 1: By the way, if it was football or basketball, you
- 23:08Speaker 1: know that if you had the best and most talented team,
- 23:10Speaker 1: you would never lose. But they got They got caught
- 23:13Speaker 1: off guard by a soft throwing, pooh handed lefty and
- 23:18Speaker 1: they only struck out They only struck out anything once
- 23:20Speaker 1: that game, in the sixth game, and just got no hits.
- 23:23Speaker 1: But you know hit. But yeah, hey, and their public
- 23:31Speaker 1: and their public and it's it's and it's a low
- 23:34Speaker 1: poverty school.
- 23:36Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just weird how all those players just ended
- 23:38Speaker 5: up at the same high school without recruiting public high school.
- 23:42Speaker 4: Sure, we just it's strange how that worked out.
- 23:44Speaker 1: Okay, you know how it happens. This is how it happens.
- 23:46Speaker 1: Corona High is the only public school with an aviation program.
- 23:50Speaker 1: So if you want to be a pilot, you could
- 23:52Speaker 1: come from any school you want and play at Krona High.
- 23:55Speaker 1: And a lot of those kids want to be pilots.
- 23:56Speaker 1: So there you go. Take that boom there he knows
- 24:00Speaker 1: evil kids.

- 24:16Speaker 2: Well, don't worry, Joe. First Academy's clubhouse is nicer than
- 24:21Speaker 2: half the clubhouses in Major League Baseball. So besides that,
- 24:23Speaker 2: they're really they're really struggling. You know, they're just trying
- 24:26Speaker 2: to trying to get to that number one spot.
