  Speaker 1: So you're breaking them off?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, break it off, sinker cutter, No.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: You couldn't pitch in the A game today because it
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: was suppos to rain, all right, Murkin, Scott Murkin gave
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: us the wrong weather reporting. Is non matching outfit standing
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: over there. So well, what's it like? Were you like, Man,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: I want to pitch in the A game instead? I
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: got there for sure.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think you know, I told somebody we
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: had the Dodgers game went really well. We had a
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: B game last week, and then we had another kind
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: of adjustment, you know, waight fly and I I just
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: tried my best to try to adjust and be like,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: you know, this is like in season, like you have
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: a really good outing against a really good team and
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: then you go play Team X and Y then maybe
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: not so good, Like you need to lock in for those.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Get your confidence.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I know, hey, exactly, exactly exactly, No, that's exactly what
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: it's been.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's been a good day.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Are you I'm gonna ask this, and I don't know
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the answer to this. I just want to hear your answer.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Are you the opening day starter?
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Your guess is as good as mine.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Have they said anything to you, because it would be
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: between you, Martine, I guess and Jonathan Cannon yep. But
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: if you played, because I know used to kind of
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: play the days out, you look at a calendar and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it kind of is that where lines up?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I don't think so right now? Actually really yeah, I
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Because we saw with the Yankees with Colon down, They're like, well,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: we can't adjust max for you to day to get into.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: The Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I tried to do the counting the other day and
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I got confused and I was like, you know what,
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go throw it tomorrow and.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Just following the routine and see where we stay. So yeah, no,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: it'd be it'd be awesome.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: But I think, you know, Martinez thirteen years of experience
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: and a pass count or something, and he's the leader
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: of the staff. So yeah, I mean, whoever it is,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: we're gonna have to go out there and follow whoever.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: It is for one hundred and sixty two games. So
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: that matter?
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: Does that matter to you at this point in your career?
• 2:34
  Speaker 6: Would that mean as much as you think it should mean?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I mean I think an opening day started for a
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: major League baseball team, you know, regardless of the situation
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: you're in, the teams in that's an honor.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I think that's an honor because.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: You're you're the number one guy in that staff, and
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: guys look at you to succeed, and guys look at
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: you for for confidence, and you know, like I like
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I said, I've got to see Dylan Ceas and his
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: prime as a as the opening day guy. And I
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: got to see Garrett Crochet and that kind of presence
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: that they keep in the locker room and they keep
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: on the field like it's something that it's exciting to
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: be that guy. So I think that you'd be lying
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: if you said he didn't want it.
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: Is it that hard to like shift your days? Kind
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: of bring up the whole Yankees conversation that A J
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: Was just talking about. Wouldn't it be that hard, like
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: right now if you were to say, Okay, you're sliding
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: the pitch day two of the season, be able to
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: fix yourself to be able to go day one?
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think there's some there's some off
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: days in there where I think they can switch some
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: stuff around. And I know, like Shane Smith and I
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: threw today at the same day, so like there's gonna
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: have to be some some switching around just to get
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: guys in the right spot.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: But again that's not my job, so I'll.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Sure to throw you just do what they tell you.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I'm just going out.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: If that calt I mean, if that call does come
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and Ethank calls you in the office and will call
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you in, what's the feeling going to be like opening
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: day Anaheim in Chicago. First hitter will be maybe two manners?
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I mean it's I think it'll be
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: rewarding for sure. I mean, after you know, coming back
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: from TJ, kind of putting myself back together after twenty
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: twenty three season and most of twenty four. You know,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: I think it'd be a lot of hard work kind
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: of paying off. But like I said, it's it's one
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: thing to be named the opening day starter, but you
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: still got to go out there for thirty three and
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: show every time why you are the opening day starter.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: So, David's a question for you.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I remember hearing some lines from you last year about
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: going through what was a difficult season for the team.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Obviously for you, you were able to show some really
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: impressive things on the mound. Can you describe for our
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: fans how you were approaching things sometimes with I mean
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: you'll describe it better than I can, maybe, but some
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: humor when something didn't go your way, or there was
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: this stick, you know, game saving cats that robbed you
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: guys of a win, stuff like that.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, yah, I got I got Gavin Sheets destroyed
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: me after that. He's like, oh ha ha, this is
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: very funny. And I was like, but no, I mean
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: it's just like there was I mean, you like watching baseball,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: there's things that happen that you're just like, holy, like this,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: this literally can't get any worse.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Like I think the robbing of the home run Jen Jennik.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: He's not your teammate, but I looked at I.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Was like, bo, this is the guy. This is the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: guy that did it to.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Us, and you know, like I I will forever remember it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Jenakowski's whole torso is in our left field bullpen. And
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: I look at Crochet and I was just like what
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: is going on? And he just starts laughing at me,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: and I'm just like I don't get it. I truly
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: don't get it. So yeah, I mean there were so
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: many times last year that you're just like you can say,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: like curse, bad luck, whatever it is.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: But like at one point.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: You just got to get over it and you just
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: laugh about it because it's just it is truly like
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: this couldn't stack up against this so much like it's
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: it was awful.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: It'll be better this year, I promise. I'm telling you
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: right now, it will not. It will not be as
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: bad as it was. Yeah, what are you working on
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: this spring? Do you have a new because everyone's got
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the kick change and the knuckle slider.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't have to kick change back then.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: But isn't that just a change up?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: No?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Man, you know the sweeper which was a slider, and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: we're like, oh, Jeff Nelson throws a slider, just goes
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a little more and right, it goes a little more
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: this way instead of this way.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, I mean so yeah, I had to change
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: kick change last year.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So what we don't We don't have a ball.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: But what's the difference, because basically, you're it's a cheat
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: for guys who pro.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Like that's super and eight really well, so they go
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: this way?
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So like I'm really good at spinning the ball.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Like I can spin the ball, I can throw a slider,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I can throw a cutter, I can throw all that stuff,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: and I and after TJ, Like I was here pre
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: TJ and now I'm like here, so like I'm a
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: little more on the side of the ball.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: So the four seam that used to be.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, your hands are dirty? What did you put on
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the ball?
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: They don't worry about it. Sunscreen spot out here my life.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just I'm just kidding, just kidding.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So, and that's the thing.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, it's so it's basically a way for
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: for pronators or supernators excuse me, to cheat to get
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: to that three o'clock axis like a Devin Williams. Like
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: a Devin Williams can come inside the ball and throw
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: it and it comes out like a saucer. Right, So
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: like the kick change, you come through it and that
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: middle finger will basically kick the axis from like twelve
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: thirty whatever it may be spinning like this, and it'll
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: kick it to about a two forty five three o'clock
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: and that gives the downward shoot.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: So how do you how do you get that? How
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: do you?
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: So?
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: I literally just hits a two seam grip, So like
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: if the two scenes were here, you literally just climb
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: with your knuckle high like this and you just throw shit.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Out of it, really and it just pol and it
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: just goes. Yeah.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: And I think last year we had some issues with
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: it sometimes where it kind of run away, and so
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: me and Kat started calling it the power knuckle split
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: because I needed to think of it like a splitter,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: because if I thought of it like a change up,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: it sucked. It was just straight across. Lefties would get
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: their barrel on it. If you think straight down. That's
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: where we're going.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Swings and misses.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Ft fam Arena Club is the modern way to collect
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: cards or buy or sell or trade or even grade.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: And we're highlighting slab packs because this is the new
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: way to rip open in a pack, get a really
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: good card. Aj But also if you're not into the card,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: like I know you pulled a Bob Gibson card recently,
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: you can get an offer of ninety percent of the
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: estimated value and just accept it on the spot and
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: give it right back and maybe try again with another
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: slab pack.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I ain't getting rid of my Bob Gibson autographed card.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Bob Gibson ain't card signing cards anytime soon, so I'm
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: keeping this one. It gets graded for you. There's no mess.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: The only thing I wish they had bubblegum. Can they
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: virtually send me some bubble gumps? Cut Other than that,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: it's awesome. You can buy sell cards. They grate them
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: instantly for you, and physically you can also get the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: cards if you want them. So I'm all for this.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, those cards are in your showroom in the app,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: and then of course you can get the card physically
• 8:41

  Speaker 1: Did you not? Fifteen? Yeah? You had Planar fashion I
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: crad Sorry, so Drew's Drew walked by and was like, oh, hey, guys,

  Speaker 1: He does Orlando guy too, by the way, So we

  Speaker 6: tell him he walks by.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Again, He went on, he actually is so big time.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: He got a ride to the field. The field is
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: like ten feet from here too.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, he's lazy.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: He's lazy. He's lazy.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: All right, wait, so we've interrupted you. Yeah, now did
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: like do you sit there and you go to track
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: man or you go to whatever you guys use repsodo
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and you and you throw one and then you do
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the slow motion cameras and they show you and then
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, I'm gonna adjust my grip just a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: So when I first threw it, I needed to see
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: like what I was doing, like, because I just they
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: basically were just like, hey, grip it, like Banny was
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: like gripple like this boll shit of it and I
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: just go and I was like, oh, but then like
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: we started getting a little flatter, we start having some issues,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: and I was like, I need to see what we're doing.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And then once I saw.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: It, I was like, I don't want to look at
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: it again because I don't even know how that works.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: So then it just turned into like throw s butter.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, and it just works.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Wait for the simple simple mindset.
• 10:34

  Speaker 1: You know, just the works like one.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Honestly, it was our Triple A manager, Sergio Freddy the club.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Sergio was a position player. I was here when they
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: I was actually on these fields when they transitioned them
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: all right back there. I remember, we're not gonna.
• 12:23
  Speaker 6: We're not gonna ambush Davis's interview here because I have
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: the ultimate Sergio story. But we're not gonna ambush it
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: because I saw when he trans pitching. Anyway, continue in
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: your golf outing story, because that sounds way more awesome
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: than any of the Fiddlesticks games that Pedro was putting
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: you guys through last year.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so we we did. We had a we had
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: There was a lot of shit talking, and then it
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: actually ended up being a tie at the end of
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: eighteen holes. And so then they had to go out
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: on field one at eight am and do a flop
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: shot at one hundred yards uh, every other shot, alternating shots,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: and you know, you could just tell, like the competition,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: everybody's having fun, but like there is like it was
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: a good team bonding experience instead of just you know, hey,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: let's all go sit at a dinner table and talk
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: about what we did that day when we're like, yeah,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: it was right next to you doing PFP's all day long.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: It wasn't really much to it.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: So I think, you again, we have a good, good
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: group of core guys that are younger. I know, the
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: pitching staff is has been really good with each other.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Martine came in and filled that veteran leadership role really
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: well with all the young starters, and you know, we're
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: learning him he's learning us and and so far it's
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: been it's been great.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: So yeah, definitely feels a lot different.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Tom Boffi on their team.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Dude, Bafia couldn't barely walkday.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I saw him on the Instagram of him beeting a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: flop shot. Baffi is one of the clubhouse guys and
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: he was all and I told him when I saw him, like, dude,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: don't ever put yourself on TV playing golf again or
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: on the internet.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah he was. Yeah, Well, apparently, funny story.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: They tied. Baffia was the team that tied, and they
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: think he was in charge of countings and he thinks
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Polish and he thinks he counted wrong. He should they
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: should have been eleven under instead of ten under. And
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: all of us were like, why did you let the
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: guy that turned forty years old have the time of
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: his life out there being charge of scorekeeping. It seems
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: like your own fault. Yes, yes, And so that team
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: ended up losing the shot for shots. So yeah, no,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: it's yeah, there's a big asterisk on it. We're already
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: tearing up for year two next year, so yeah, it's
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: gonna be fun.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, And for the people that again Buffy is one
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: of the clubhouse guys. He's Polish like me, so we
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: always go back and forth about Polish people. So I'm
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: allowed to say that before anybody gets off freaking out
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: at the internet.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Put a big astroistart a Polish County take out. Yeah,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: What I want to know before we let you go?
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: What does Davis Martin do when he's not thinking about
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: kick changes and pitching and all that. What's your thing
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: that you go to to get away from baseball or
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: when you're at home and you're you've done it eleven
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: thirty on a Thursday in spring training? What are you
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: going to go do?
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: I usually go chase my son around. He's about a
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: year and a half old and he learned the word no.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: That's been awful, little awful, and so yeah, that is
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: my job. My wife is Yeah, we go home and
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: just have fun with him and he throws, he runs,
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: he's having the time of his life. So just getting
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: away from it. And I know last year we actually
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: got out of the city and stayed in one of
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: the suburbs for about a month and it was one
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: of my best months of last season, just purely because
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I felt like I was in the off season with
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: my family having a good time in joined Chicago suburbs,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: just you know, getting away from the city. But yeah,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: that's what I do, Dad number one.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Awesome. That's the best job in the world, right there,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: best job in the world.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: So hey Davis, Yeah, have fun with the kiddo, and
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: you're a great interview man. Great to have you on here.
• 15:38

• 15:40
  Speaker 4: the rest of spring. We'll see you during the year.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate it. You guys. Thanks showing me on.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: We've got veteran Andrew Vaughn joining us right now, maybe
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: the oldest twenty six year old in baseball. Andrew, do
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: you feel that way when you've got a team that's
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: obviously just full of youngsters and many that have never
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: even seen the bigs yet?
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I was talking to Robert. I mean,
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: we do have some veteran guys, but you know, in
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: our clubhouse, I think it's just me and him left
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: from the twenty one team. It's kind of crazy to
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: look back on.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, how you got to buy dinners. You gotta
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: do every you gotta buy the guy the suits in there.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: You got Benny. We still got Benny. Oh, I forgot
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: about Bett.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Benny's on the il right now with a
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: broken hands, so you kind of have ascended to the top.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Robert takes care of the line of guys. You take
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: care of the other.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: Guys, right, I'll talk to Benny.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. What's camp been like
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: so far for you this year? Any different feel? I know,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: you got a new manager, you got some new people
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: in there, new voices in there.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: It's been good.
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: So many young guys, like we've talked about the whole spring,
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: new faces. You know, it's like the first day of school,
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: getting to know everybody, getting to know, you know, the vibes,
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: what we're about, just kind of, you know, making our
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: own identity out of this and.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: What is that?
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: What is that identity? What is the White Sox identity
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: for this season?
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, the biggest thing we talked about coming
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: in was, you know, opportunity for everybody. You know, it's
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: gonna be competition day one to spring. We're all here grinding,
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: you know, guys are playing for jobs, and I think
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: that makes an atmosphere that's you know, competitive, and we
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: go out and play good baseball.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: You're not grinding for a job, are you. You're not.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: I mean you've got a job, yeah, but.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: You always got to think about that.
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: You gotta go out there and no matter what, it
• 17:25
  Speaker 7: could be our last day in this uniform, play like
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: it's our last what.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: What is your job on this team is with all
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: the young guys and all the trades that were made
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: as as Will Venable come to you and say, hey,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I need you to be the leader of these guys
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: because again you know, Benny obviously is here, but it's
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: kind of you Benny and Louis that are that are
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the older guys. Does he come to you and said, hey, Bonnie,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: we need you to be this for this guy, this
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: for this guy, or do you just do that naturally?
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: It's something specific.
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: I think it's just, you know, when I came up,
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: we had so many veteran guys on the team and
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: just kind of learned, you know, from a Bray you
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: or Lancelin or those guys, how they went about their business,
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: like trying to be that guy for the younger guys
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: coming up, just trying to you know, guide in any
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: way I can. I'm not a huge outspoken guy, but
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: just anything I could do, you know, whether it's off
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: the field, on the few weight room stuff, you name it,
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: just trying to be a voice or reason.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: Was there somebody that you connected with specifically in that
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: veteran group as a rookie, as a dude those had
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: two three years in the big leagues?
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I loved watching a brave you. Jose
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: did just everything the right way. You know, he grinded.
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: He was the first guy in the weight room every day,
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: didn't matter how he was feeling, he went out and
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: you know, he played, he posted.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: Was what was it surprising when he went to Houston
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: and had the struggles that he had after you saw.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: The guy that he was.
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it honestly hurt me to watch him
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: because I know how much how much work he puts in,
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: and you know how much he loves this game and
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: how hard he goes every single day. You know, he
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: was my team and obviously I wanted the best of
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: success for him.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: What you made an adjustment to your swing last year
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: and kind of at the end towards the end of
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the year, what was the adjustment and what did it change?
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: I was really trying to simplify you know, I was
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: sitting a lot of balls on the ground, rolling over,
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: you know, just missing pitches that I shouldn't and it
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: was just kt the cage and really focus on not
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: missing those.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: In the big leagues, you know it.
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: You might get one pitching it bat, you might not
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: get it, and when you get it, you can't miss
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: that hitch.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, So what I think happened is so last
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: year in spring training you went to Kanerico's house and
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: you worked with him, right, and then you stopped listening
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to him and you went to Jim Tomy, and now
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: you're working with Tomy. So if it was me, I
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: would rather listen to Tomy than Conerico.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: You know, it was so cool yesterday.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Ando was here yesterday, right, So did you tell him
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: when you saw him, You're like, Paul, you're out, Jim
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: you're in.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: Well, you should have seen the bench yesterday.
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: It was Jermaine, Jim and Paul, and I was just
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: sitting there going how many home runs are sitting on
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: that bench right there?
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: I was like, that's pretty impressive.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So when when Swisher was here, we had Griffy, Jermaine, Jim,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Paul right and Swisher goes, I want to get a
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: picture with all of us. And at the time, Griffy
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: had like five six hundred homers or whatever. Jim had
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: got five hundred, Jermaine and Paul both had three hundred,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and He's like, in me, I have a hundred the group. Yes,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: he was like, I want to add myself to this,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: this group of prolific home runners. Oh that was Swish though, for.
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: With all those elite superstars that are there, when it
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: just like when it kind of like bringing it back
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: down to earth a little bit. If Aj were in camp,
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: it would.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: Be nice to see him little bit more.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd love to be here Cratzy, but uh, you know,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: there's there's there's some extenuating circumstances there. We'll just we'll
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: use that as the proper term. I'd love to work
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: with these guys.
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: I'm glad you're there now.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: I got my one I get my one day here
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: to go walk in and say hi to these guys.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: I love these guys. I mean I've known Andrew forever.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I mean I've known all these guys for a long time,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: So I mean I want these guys to do well.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Everyone thinks I don't want the White Sox to win. Dude,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: I want you all to do well. Listen. I wear
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: white Sox gear and people look at me and like,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: why are you wearing white? So I'm like, dude, I
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: like the White Sox. I want them to win. I
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: don't want them to do crappy, Von.
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: He wants you guys to win. He doesn't want you
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: guys to win a World Series. He wants to make
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: sure he's still He's still the I know it's not true,
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: but it's it's fun. It's fun to make fun of him, Von, Hey.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: What would your career?
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: Do you ever think about what your career would be
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: different if you had gotten drafted by a different team?
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: You were the number three or number two overall, number three,
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: number three, so there wasn't many teams that had a
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: choice to pick you. But have you Do you ever
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: look at the other two teams and go, I wonder
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: how much different development, how much more I would have
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: spent in the minor leagues, how much less I would
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: have spent in the minor leagues, all that stuff.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: You know, I really don't. I've never actually we thought
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: about that. Just blessed to be able to you know
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: play his game as you guys know this. It's it's special.
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: We get to wake up and play a kid's game
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: for a living. And I wouldn't change anything for the world.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Andrew, what's your best memory in the Big League so far?
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: And you could do too if you want, one individual
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: and one team oriented.
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: Okay, I think one of the coolest was I had
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: to learn how to play outfield in spring training.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Never really done it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: I think it was the first month Rodn throwing against
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: Cleveland when I'm playing left field and he's got a
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: no hitter going through seven innings and I think he
• 22:39
  Speaker 7: was Avermris comes up hitting righty guy, smashes baseballs and
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: smokes the line drive right at me. I didn't have
• 22:46
  Speaker 7: to move and I caught it, and I was like,
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: did I really just do that? And then we get
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: to the end of the game and I was like,
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: actually threw a no hitter and I was playing left field,
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: so I kind of giggled about that. I think that's
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: probably my favorite, honest going to the playoffs can't beat that.
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: That atmosphere is crazy, forty something thousand people, loudest place
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: I've ever heard in Chicago.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: In Chicago Okay, I was gonna say, just didn't you
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: guess you're on the twenty teams in Oakland with no people?
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: Right? I was on taxi squad.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I was in the taxis. You're in the stands. Did
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: they charge you for a ticket?
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: We were the only people in the stands.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Now, you were sitting next to the you have a
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: had a big beard down left hild you go sit
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: by the teddy beard down the left field.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: They kept us in the section on the right field line.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Or so I wanted. Well, Kratzy was on that. That was
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Crotchy last year. But I've never heard this story. So
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: were you guys cheering for your team or were you
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: just all told like just sit here and don't make
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: a noise.
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: I mean we were cheering for the boys. Of course,
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: we're all together. You know most of the year, a
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: lot of guys up and down through Schanberg, and you know,
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: it was pretty exciting even though there was literally nobody there.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: So like, when, when, uh, who got the was it
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: ELOI who got someone hit a big home or somewhere
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: in that.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: When Louis hit one?
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Soon did you guys stand up and we're like, yeah, yeah.
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: I think We're all in shock because it literally hit
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: above the suites in left center field.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: That's the finest ball I've ever seen it.
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the fans when whenever, the fans, because the games
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: that we played, we didn't even have the alt site guys,
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: the taxi squad guys in the stands. They were back
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: at the hotel. But like, there was a family section
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: that was in the bubble, and then there's another family
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: section on the complete opposite end of the stadium. And
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: so if the Guardians would score, then you would hear
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: that little section of the stadium. If the if the
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: Yankees would score, you'd hear that little family section. So
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: I lived that with you.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: But let's go back.
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: Let's go back to twenty nineteen when you and I
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: were teammates in Japan. You were fresh. I mean you
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: were fresh. I was telling you off screen before we started.
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: You bought a puppy the year that we started playing,
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: and you're talking about being a vet. Now this puppy
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: was like unbelievable. But I'm like, you are so young
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: to be having a puppy. Did you feel like you
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: had to mature early in the situation where you were
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: you were plopped right into a playoff team right away,
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: just two or three years after getting drafted.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: You know, I think through college kind of understanding you
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: know how everything in the world works, kind of figuring
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: out I was gonna get drafted.
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: I just kind of knew.
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: I just had to flip a switch. You know, this
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: is this is go time. You know, I want this
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: to be my job. Like, I just got to be
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: a prob about it. And you know, the puff's feeling good.
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: That's so funny to think about. I think, what five
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: and a half years of five and a half years
• 25:39
  Speaker 7: ago still looks the same.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: She's still a little teddy bear.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Welld Ginger, I got a random one for you, but
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: I thought about it.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Oh goodness, really hold on yeah, both, Walking by both,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I said, I asked Loe to come on bo Jackson,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: He said, give him twenty million. That's his discount.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: We can do it.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Is that Pasos or Yan? What is that? You never
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: know you're gonna see a White Sox camp.
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: By the way, love that we got the whole the
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: whole cast here today. Well on that front, super random.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: I forgot about this name until I don't know if
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: it was aj or somebody brought it up the other
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: day and it was a team ety years several years ago,
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: and it just had me thinking about how quickly things
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: can change. Do you remember that your mean Mercedes hype
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: train and how you know good he was for a
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: quick period of time And obviously you know isn't playing
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: in the bigs anymore. But do you think of moments
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: like that and does that help to you know, make
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: you appreciate how quickly things can change, because I mean
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: we were talking about his baseball card being like one
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: hundred x value and then going all the way back
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: to zero like in a matter of I don't know,
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: two months.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know that running had was crazy. I mean,
• 27:07
  Speaker 7: guys couldn't get him out. But that just goes to
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: show the game of baseball, anything can happen on any
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: given day.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: Granted, is tough to get in the box and hit,
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: but if you got the skills, I mean, sometimes you
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: can just take off and run with it. But this
• 27:21
  Speaker 7: game will humble you so fast you can't take a
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: single day.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: For granted, did he go wrong. I mean you were
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: there for it when he swung three to zero and
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: then he got annihilated by the manager and that's kind
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: of from that moment he just went like, who did
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: that just rip his confidence out?
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: I don't know, but that.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Was And he had a bomb too. It wasn't like he's.
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: Popped it up on forty miar pitch and he hit
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: it like five hundred feet.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that ball was crushed.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: I mean it was like because he was on top.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, he had to change and he had the
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: whole thing going, and then all of a sudden that happened,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: and then he was called out and then he just went.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: Gone, Yeah, this game, Wow, this game.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: It was crazy. What about Cory Lee? Corey Lee is
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: your college teammate. Did you tell the White Sox to
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: trade for him?
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: I did not.
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: I didn't even know it was gonna happen. We were
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: actually roommates in college too.
• 28:16

• 28:39
  Speaker 7: the month so he didn't have to find a place
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: to stay.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: But I thought that was pretty sweet.

• 28:46
