• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We got to just take our time with him and
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: be patient because when we get him back, we want
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: to get him back hole. We want him to get
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: stay out there on the field every day.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: We've got Braves manager Brian Snicker with us right now
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: on foul Territory. Snick, great to see you. You're almost there.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: We're almost at the start of the regular season. Yes,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: decision time. Have you been figuring out how everything is
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: going to line up?
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: No, we're still probably down to the numbers that we're
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: going to take to Scottsdale right now, and it may
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: go down to the you know, the last game in
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the off day once we get to San Diego, actually
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: before we finalize the roster.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Now, is that more from a rotation standpoint, a bullpen standpoint.
• 0:47
  Speaker 5: Or even from a position player that you may be
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: looking at the hell.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Probably more bullpen in rotation? Kind of figured out how
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: we're gonna maneuver the last two spots in the rotation.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Who that's gonna be. I mean, we're still not one
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: hundred percent sure. And then the bullpen too, you know,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's we got some good options right now.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I think this is probably one of the best non
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: roster type situations that we brought in with a lot
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: of guys that have been there, done that, and and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: so we're, you know what, we're gonna use these final
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: games to determine.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: When we talk about some impressive guys that you've seen this,
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: you know this camp, what do you have on Dayla
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Santos because watching him this spring, you know, a lot
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: of talk about certain guys, but that's a guy that
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: I look at that I go he could really help
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: the Braves in a big way.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: To see, and we, you know what, we feel the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: same way. You know, there's a guy that he's been
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: through the Wars and he's a big, strong guy through
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: really good the other day over in Clearwater against the Phillies,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and you know it, just like we brought Hector Nerrison
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: relatively late, and you know, we played against him for
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: years here.
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: And both of those.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Guys that, you know, let's say they're they're established guys
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: that have been through the wars and done this before
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and and we're you know, just kind of wanted to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: keep seeing those guys and we'll probably run it all
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the way to the end before we make that determination.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: You know, I asked us to rock gobalt Eli the
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: other day. You know, how important? And you're an old
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: school guy, which I really appreciate, and we see a
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: lot of times in camps guys don't get as many
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: at betts as they once did. How important is it
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: for you to have your guys, I know, healthy one,
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: but out there on the field together during spring and
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: just to kind of create that Kimerstyon Camaradie that we
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: know they had we watched them two years ago, one
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: of the.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Most prolific offenses.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: But how important is it for you to say, hey, guys,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: we got to get out there and get our reps
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: in and do it together as well well.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: They do, and then you know, we're right now, like
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I took all the guys over last night after the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: off day, and they're probably going to play it out
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to the end right now, because it's time to start
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: playing every day and it's hard to play nine innings
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in these games. They just start dragging and then you're
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: facing guys you don't want your guys to face and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: things like that. So but we're you know, they're back
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: in where we're gonna play every day with them, and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I think it is important, you know, And I've I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: got kind of the last few years and how many
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: at bats guys from the past have had, and everybody's different,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: but I think it's helped us, you know, in the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: past few years, to get off the good stars because
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: they are ready to go.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Snit.
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: I got to ask you, I got your game in
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: San Diego early, so act like you know who I am.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: When you see me, you know, shake my hand, maybe
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: put a smile on your face.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I give you a hug.
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, man, I would be honored if you would
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: give me a hug. And there's the smile I was
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: waiting for, right all right. So I want to know
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: it was pitching your third game because the first game
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: obviously will be you know Smith Schwarber. Second game might
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: be you know, Schwellenbach. Can we get Chris Sale game
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: three so I can talk, you know, great about it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You can do yeah now, but you know what, I've
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: already went out there and I screwed up and gave
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: him the opening day start already, So that's gonna be
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: hard to come back on that one. But you know what,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you're if you're doing the game three, you're gonna like it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You're you're gonna have a lot of fun and the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: guy you're going to see is pretty good.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: That's that's a fact. I want to ask you.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: I want to stay there. You talk about being healthy,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: asked Christial. I gave him a game, so let's play
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: a game. Fill in the blank. I said, the Braves
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: can win the World Series if they do what he.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Said, stay healthy.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: I know it's hard to control that as a manager.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Things happen.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: What are you trying to do, even in camp, even
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: during the season, to try to do your best and
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: make sure these guys stay on the field.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean that's that's the correct answers. Stay healthy.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: You know, I didn't realize and I lived through it
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: last year, but they ran something on the network and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: they had a list of all the guys in the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: games we lost, and it was even more than I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: had remembered. But I think it's stay healthy. I think
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on the long you know, because
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: it is a long season and you know we're and
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I used to not be big on this, but give
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: an extra day's rest I think is good with these
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: guys especially. You know, your starters will monitor the bullpen.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: You know, the guys we don't usually use them three
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: days in a row till we get down to, you know,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: in September, when you know, you get into that we
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: got to win mode and you know so, but I
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: think we keep an eye on the fact that it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: is a long season. You know, these guys, the position
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: players are all built to play every day. I mean,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: that's kind of where they're at and how they operate.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: So you know, but everybody's going to deal with injuries.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just just a part of it. And
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: you just hope you can minimize how many guys that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you do do lose at a time. And because I know, personally,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I'd love to get in the playoffs again with a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: healthy roster.
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: Snitt, what's going on in the catcher situation. I know
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: Murph's out for for a few weeks. Here is Baldwin
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: your guy? Is he going to be the opening gay guy?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: And who's going to.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: He's done? And really, you know, he's gotten better and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: better and and I'm treating it as he is. I mean,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I'm giving him Sale and and Lopez and Schwellenbach and
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: all those guys trying to get him to catch your relievers.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: He's done great. I mean, he's continued to improve. Murph
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: still ways away. We signed James McCann yesterday and we're
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: gonna get him into camp I think tomorrow, but he'll
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: be delayed, but just another depth piece. But as it
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: looks right now, yeah, I mean he's gonna get to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: starting nod and and I've been very impressed the guy,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: you know. And I asked the pitchers, you know, we
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: asked them, and they've all got rave reviews about how
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: they feel when he's behind the plate the games that
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: he's calling, and you know, his throwing his is better
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: now than what I remembered in previous camps. Handles himself
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: really well, and he's you know, it's got to have
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: another left handed option catching again.
• 6:41

• 6:43

• 7:41
  Speaker 4: You talk about getting healthy, How optimistic were you the
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: other day watching Spencer stry to go out there and
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: snid as a competitor.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: How hard is it you to go? How hard is
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: it for you to go?
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: Wait? Is he ready?
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Because he looked pretty good?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: You're dead, I mean to be kind of easy to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: fast forward everything careful, But yeah, he was really good,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and you're always happy for the guy. I think that
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: goes through that. They put a lot of work into that.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I mean when they rehab and and they spend a
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: lot of time, you know, just in the gym by
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: themselves and doing checking all the boxes. And you know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I think that first, that first outing back is a
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: pretty emotional time for all of them, even a guy
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: like Spencer, and he, like you said, it was just stupid.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: How good he looked the other day. So and the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: biggest thing there is he's thrown his side today. So
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you know, if he feels great today, then that's even
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a bigger plus.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: One thing I've always said about you, I've had an
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: opportunity to be around a lot of good guys. I
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: thought you were always a guy who took time to
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: kind of make yourself personable to the guys right, get
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: to know guys. I know it's been, you know, a
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: short camp so far, we're getting towards the end of it.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: But Jerks and profar a guy who the last few
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: years seems to be an infectious spirit in the clubhouse.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: What have you seen thus far and what are you
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: liking about having him apart in this clubhouse organization Number one?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: The first day when we got him, I called him
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and I could hear the kids in the background, and
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you know, just I text Ozzie afterwards, and I thought
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I was talking to Ozzy. You know, he sounded very
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: similar and just and everybody, you know, when we're doing
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: our homework, and he is that he's an infectious personality.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: He's got a smile on his face and the biggest
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: thing I like about him he one of the he
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: likes to play and he doesn't want to sit and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: he wants to play. And I'm glad you know today
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: that we're going to get him back out there with us.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: And I think he's going to add to our lineup,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: especially when we get Ronald back and we get Murphed
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: back and we get hold again. It's going to really
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: linthen our lineup because he's kind of a Swiss army knife,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I think, and where you can use him in a
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in a lineup, and I'm excited to get him on board.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: And just that energy that he brings with this guy,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I don't you know, I can tell he fit right
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: in here, you know, And it's it's a good place
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: for a guy to come because there's some really good
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: personalities and great guys in that clubhouse and he's fit
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: right in. And I'm excited to have him.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: I want to I want to stay there.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Is ron doing great, you know, I mean, there's there's
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: things he's getting the live at bats. It's just you know,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to start stopping the maneuvering in the outfield, cutting bases,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: all that stuff is. You know, as far as it
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: bats and everything. He probably ready to go right now,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: but there's things with the leg and the need that
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: they have to check all the boxes and and and everything.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: So that's just a you know, that's just a we
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: we got to just take our time with him and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: be patient because when we get him back, we want
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to get him back hole and we want him to
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: get stay out there on the field every day. And
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and he's got a great attitude right now. I mean,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: this kid, you know, I look at him, I just
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: see he just keeps maturing as a player, as a person.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: You know, you see him with his children. He's a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: great father and and uh you know, so it's it's
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: going to be really you know, it's gonna energize the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: whole club and we can get him back out there.
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: Snitht this off season was interesting in your division. There
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: was a there was a guy that signed right down
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: in your division. There was a guy that signed. He
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: just went to kind of around the corner from the
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: Yankees to the Mets. Were you rooting for Soto to
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: go somewhere else and not get in your division so.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: You don't have to Absolutely no, I was hoping he'd,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you know, just he'd go to the American League where
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I only had to look at him three days, not
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Boston where we played them six. But yeah, I was
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: rooting for him to get a nice little deal, you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: in the AL West or Central or East, I mean
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: there instead of right back in our division again. But
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: you know, got good for them. I mean it's there's
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: nobody in the in in our division that sits on
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: their thumbs in the in the off season. I mean everybody.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: It's a really good division. The pitching is unbelievable. There
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: are some really really good players obviously, and and I'm
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: that's why I'm glad we play everybody. I got tired
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: of playing the Mets and the Phillies and know them
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: guys nineteen times during the year.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: I love it, Ye, I love it.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I like seeing everybody, I like every other year going
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: to all the ballparks. I think that's fun too.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: Snip. What about what about the Angels.
• 12:06
  Speaker 7: I know you lost some guys, but I mean your
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: whole coaching staff is now on the Angels. Do you
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: call over there and you're like, hey, Wash, Hey, why Hey.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: So Travis Arizona.
• 12:18

• 12:25
  Speaker 1: so uh you know, And I look, and they're doing
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: a good job over there, that they I think they.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: I was just looking to this morning. They had their
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: lineup and everything. That's a nice little team. They've done
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a good job there. They got some really good young
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: players and and like everybody else, I think you know
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: which one up. You look at at the end of
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the year every year and the offenses, but you look
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: at who's leading like the National League of the American
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: League and pitching, and probably the top six teams are
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Hey, Sni, I've got a question for you about Wash.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Did you see that he's got the no cell phone
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: policy running in the clubhouse?
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: Did you hear about that? No?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that. I don't know. Well, these guys
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: are going to go they'll be like, you know, having
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: fits and everything start shaking. And if they don't have
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: yourself with my god, that's I'd wondering if they have
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: counselors there, you know, for everybody.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: I want to add on to that, Scottie, because I
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: want to ask you the word.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: The word around the league.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Is that the guys actually like it because he says
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: that it's causing.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Him to interact more.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: Well, that's so, is the methods to watch his madness?
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: But is that?
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: What is that that?
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Right on?
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I went we were playing at West Palm Beach in
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: that new place, and there's three rows of lockers, and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I went after after batting practice one day and I
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: went down the lockers and I saw everybody. Nobody was
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: talking to each other. Everybody was on their phone. I
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: get where he's coming from, you know, God bless him.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I think that's a great idea. Just because of that,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I said, what's some some of the greatest things that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: we experience here in our lives as ball players and
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: as close as we are every day is the relationships.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: And those guys they're losing the relationships because they got
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: a great relationship with their phone. So my hat's off
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: doing I think he might be onto something.
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: You need to work on your relationship with your phone,
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: because every time I text you, I get a new phone.
• 14:11
  Speaker 9: So I don't know guys again, you guys the world Yeah, sniff,
• 14:18
  Speaker 9: I'm super happy you guys won the world series New phone?
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: Who dis right at the BBW A A I went
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: up to and you said, Franco, who's this guy that's
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: texted me right right in front of me? And I'm like, well,
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: good to see you too, snitt.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: I want to ask you about one more guy.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: We talked.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: We talked health, uh, we talked pitching staff. I want
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: to ask you about Killney. Is he a guy you
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: get him going everybody health and you say he could
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: be a real intricate piece of this puzzle.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: No, absolutely, I mean that's just this kid is just
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: loaded with talent and he's just you know what, he's
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: learning how to keep all the balls in the air,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you know, And and I think probably all you guys
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: know when you first came in there's layers to kind
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: of pull off to becoming that established, big leader. He's
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: still pulling layers off. He's still a young man, and
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: he's very talented. And you know, there's a lot of
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: outside noise right now in the game, and and these guys' lives,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: you know that they're dealing with and but He's a
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: talented young He's had a good spring. I like where
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: he's at, and he's going to continue to grow and
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: mature because you just you don't find talent like that
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: just anywhere. And and uh, he can play all three
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: of the outfield positions very well. He's got above average
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: throwing arm, he's got speed, power, the whole thing. He
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: just needs to learn to how to do it every
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: day and handle all the outside noise that he's that
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you know every young player has to deal with.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Let me ask you that last question for me, is
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: that a part of just giving yourself a little bit
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: more grace because because it almost seems like he cares,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: cares too much.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: We hate to say this name, but you know what
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: We you know, we all want to do good. We
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: all want to you know, we're going to listen to
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: every piece of advice that we all get. Lord knows,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I had to learn how to how to shut it out,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: you know, when you when you get up here, and
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: he's still learning that, and he's going to be fine,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: and you're right, he's and you never know when you
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: have something like that. We get at bronal Back, we'll
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: see where we are but like you said, the injuries happen.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: You need talented players and you need depth. And you know,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: we face a lot of right handed pitching coming out
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: of the gate here, and he's gonna get a lot
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of opportunities. So you know, like I say, you just
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: hang with a kid, You be patient with him and
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: because you know on the back end all that when
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: they get it going, man, it's something pretty good.

  Speaker 10: You know, we we practiced together before before you know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 10: I joined this theme. You know, we always work out
• 19:15
  Speaker 10: together in the in the off season.
• 19:17
  Speaker 6: We used to fish together and cure us out.
• 19:21

• 19:35
  Speaker 4: about this deal last year? Here are the last two years,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: you really figure something out. But how much of a
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: chip point did you have on your shoulders? Signed a
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: one year deal worth a million the off season probably
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: didn't go as you expected.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: Did you have a chip on your shoulder coming to
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: last year to prove that?

• 20:06
  Speaker 10: the first month or so. If you don't, if you
• 20:10
  Speaker 10: don't perform, if you don't do good, you're gone. And
• 20:14
  Speaker 10: at this age, you know it's it's it's tough to
• 20:18
  Speaker 10: get a job. So I went in there with a
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: chip on my shoulder, you knows, just working hard and
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: and and and and all the experience that I had,
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: you know, put it together and click.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: Did you change anything mechanically because the San Diego it's
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: a different jerk and profile. It's the guy they thought
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: you're going to be in Texas. Even though you competed
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: at a high.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Level, it clicked for you.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: Mechanical changes, No.
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: No, no, I did. I did some mechanical change.
• 20:50
  Speaker 10: But also it's just the mindset, you know, you know,
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: this is it like I need to do it.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: I need to be a laser.
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: Focused you know, and the environment that you know I
• 21:02
  Speaker 10: had in the clubhouse in San Diego.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: I had really good years with.
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: Them since two those and twenty twenty two, you know,
• 21:12
  Speaker 10: and it was it was easier, you know, in that
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: in that clubos and you know, thanks going.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: I'm in the same place right now with bisculf Holes.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: It's the same, Yes, Jerkson.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: First of all, you forgot one thing. You forgot to
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: say hi to me, since.
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: You know I was there when you first came up
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: and you were a little skinny, punk kid rookie right
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: so back in Texas, so you know you should say
• 21:37
  Speaker 7: hi to your elders, right, So hello, and.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Thank you for finally joining us.
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: How you doing after I've.
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: Been chasing you for like two years to get you
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: to come on, and you're always San Diego Jerksy. We
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: love to have you on. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: I don't speak English. I'm like, wait a second, you speak.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Me English better than I do. Give me that crap.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: All right, So let's get that out there first, all right.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: I love you to dad. You were awesome.
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: You always have a smile on your face and I'm
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: very happy for the success that you've had. But I'm
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: just happy you finally hit home runs because when you
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: came up, you were like a little slapping and we
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: were like, man, this dude, number.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: One prospect in baseball.
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: I want to see you go gave so finally, thank
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: you for going deep and making all my dreams come true.
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: No, I had, I had some homers. Yeah, I know.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: No, No, listen, you're awesome. I'm very happy for you.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: What's it like, though, because you came up as an infielder,
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: right and so now you're in the outfield full time.
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: How do you make that transition? Because we see Jose
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: Altuve right now, he's not doing great in the outfield.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: He's having a little bit of a hard time.
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: It's tough, but you know, I think he's he's he's
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: going to be He's going to be better, And you know,
• 22:51
  Speaker 10: it's not it's not that easy you used to, you know,
• 22:53
  Speaker 10: grum balls and left field is I think the toughest
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: one in the outfield. There is a lot of you know,
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: I think he's dealing with a lot of the Florida win.
• 23:04
  Speaker 10: I'm dealing with that same thing. So it's going to
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: take some time, but I know he.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: Will be good.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Jerkson. First off, I wanted to reflect on last year
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: a little bit more. I mean, he had an awesome
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: season obviously individually, but the Padres were a really fun
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: team to watch, and you guys were in my mind
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: one went away from not just beating the Dodgers, but
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: then many of us thought you would have been the
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: World Series winner. Did you feel that way? Did you
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: feel like, you know, if you guys took it down
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: one more time, you would have win the World Series
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: for sure?
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: For sure? You know.
• 23:39
  Speaker 10: And they came back those those last two games, and
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: and they were really really good and and I think
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: that helped him too with with the rest of the
• 23:51
  Speaker 10: series that that they played. You know, it was it
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: was It was a really really good battle between us
• 23:58
  Speaker 10: and and and and then.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: I know it's go here, go ahead, Scott, go ahead.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I just wind it one more on on the on
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: the Padres there. How much fun was that team? It
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: looked like you guys were having a blast all the time.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Did you feel like you could truly be yourself there
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: and being that you've been in the league for a while,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: you could show all your enthusiasm.
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: Yes, my I think my game the game that you know,
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: I played since Little League, you know, kind of reflect
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: with with with with the Padres, you know, just having
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: fun and at the same time, you know, compete and
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: and and and give your one hundred percent and and
• 24:38
  Speaker 10: and try to win every night. And I think you
• 24:41
  Speaker 10: know that that culture that.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: That they have there, you know, really really helped me.
• 24:47
  Speaker 10: And and I'm in the sway in the same situation
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: right now. So that's why, you know, I really really
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: want if it wasn't the Padres. You know, I really
• 24:56
  Speaker 10: really wanted to be on this team because we I
• 25:00
  Speaker 10: think we have the same kind of players, the same
• 25:03
  Speaker 10: kind of cultures, and these guys, you know, already have
• 25:08
  Speaker 10: won a lot of things already. So I'm looking forward
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: to to to this season to compete with these guys.
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: Jerkson, last year, last thing on Padres. Last year, you
• 25:17
  Speaker 7: were involved in a in a couple of dust ups. Right,
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: you hit a walk off home run and you celebrated.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: I don't care you hit a walk off home run,
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: do whatever you want. The game's over. Like, how bad
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: were you cause the next day, first pitch they smoke you, right,
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: and the pitcher didn't get kicked out, the catcher didn't
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: get kicked out. The other team's manager got kicked out.
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: You got kicked out, and you're.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: The one that got hit. Shouldn't any other bend the
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: other way around?
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: It was Mike got kicked out.
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, like he didn't do he didn't throw the pitch,
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: you know, like I don't understand why that was.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: And then how much did it mean to you?
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: Like you talk about the Padres in the atmosphere, they
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: all had your back. They were like, screw this, We're
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: gonna fight for our guy, right, I mean, Manny was
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: first one out there, Fernando, all these guys, Mike Schild
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: gets kicked out for you. How much did that mean
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: to you as a player to say, man, this organization's
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: got my back for real.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: A lot, a lot, a lot like you know it.

  Speaker 6: You know, he he.
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: Had my back, he had the team's back since since
• 26:21
  Speaker 10: day one. And to have a manager like that, man,
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: I I can run through a wall for you any day.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: I want to stay there.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: You talk about a manager like that, I know it's
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: been you know, Spring and you still got a lot
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: of time to go. Do you get some of those

  Speaker 4: tell you how many times I felt like calls are missing.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I would have.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: Loved to give it one of these. Are you looking
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: forward tonate at it?
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: You just kind of want to keep it, keep the
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: umpire element in the game on that.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 27:30
  Speaker 10: I don't know because I didn't. I didn't have it yet.
• 27:33
  Speaker 10: I played most of my games here and here we don't.
• 27:37
  Speaker 10: We don't have it. But I'm watching, you know, almost
• 27:40
  Speaker 10: almost every game. So guys are liking it, you know,
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: And for myself, I don't know.
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: You spend so much time smile. I don't even think
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: you worry about the umpire's coming ball.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: So it Hey, so you're gonna be playing with the
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: June when he returns. I know you recently were asked
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: to compare him to Soto. Can you relay your thoughts
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: on the comparison.
• 28:10
  Speaker 10: No, I didn't that that that. I didn't say that,
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: you know, first of all, I didn't. I didn't compare
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: Acuna to so first of all, so I have.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: But you know I.
• 28:23
  Speaker 10: Said tatis and and and Otani are on a level
• 28:33
  Speaker 10: of their own. And then they they they put Soto
• 28:38
  Speaker 10: in there, you know, and say that I said that
• 28:42
  Speaker 10: is better than Sodo. But for for me personally, like
• 28:45
  Speaker 10: those three when when they're healthy, it's just you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 10: it's just it's just different. You know, they can they
• 28:51
  Speaker 10: can do like if you can steal seventy bases and
• 28:56
  Speaker 10: and hit forty homers, come on right.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: Exactly a place to you got yes out there, but.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: He's that talent.
• 29:03
  Speaker 10: Yes, Like it's it's just different the same as as Otani.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: You can pitch, you hit how many homeworks he hit?
• 29:10
  Speaker 10: He did fifty to fifty, so like we can do
• 29:13
  Speaker 10: that before nobody?
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, Cam asked the question.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I would ask this because this is this is
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: a real question.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: Is it more impressive that he pitches how he does
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: or that he hits how he hits?
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: I couldn't. I had no.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Answer for it.
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: No, he hits all he hits.
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: I think that's more impressive than the pitching.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah there you go, alright, go ahead, go ahead.
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: I had to ask, said, Akuna, is your teammate now
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: Soto's in the division, Say Listen is better than Sodo.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Because he's on my team. He's, like you said, many yeah.
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: Better so.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Hey, Soto went away.
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: So last year, Manny Katis, your boys on your team,
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: Jackson Merrill, Right this, higgy, those.

  Speaker 3: on my team. They're on team. So now.
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: I play, I play. I played with Solo too, and
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: he said he's a great hitter, you know, but he's unbelievable,
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: Like I said, those three guys do yes, you know?
• 30:21

• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Remember it was weird. So I'm like, if you're gonna
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: do that, and you ever celebrate anything on your own,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: everyone's just gonna be like, uh, what are we doing?
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: Remember that Tim Anderson Salvador Perez thing when Tim Anderson
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: hit a home run and flipped his bat and Salve
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: gave him a lecture, but we don't do that. And
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: but then Salvi had hit a home run and throw
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: his bat up, and everyone's like, oh, he's just having fun,
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: Like what are we doing. You can't you can't yell
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: at other people if you do the same thing. That
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: was one of the things, Like, I mean, I did
• 31:18
  Speaker 7: a lot of batfliping, a lot of stupid stuff in
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: my time. But you know what, if someone else did it,
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: he hit a walk off homer, you can do whatever
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: you want because the game's over, right, Like prince Field,
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: Remember they did the bowling pin thing in spring training.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: The giants hit him, like, what do we like? What
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: are we doing? We want to have fun, we want
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: to celebrate the game.
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: So I don't know.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: I love Profar. He was great. I mean it's funny
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: to me.
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: I look back and played with him and like Martine
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: Perez in twenty thirteen, right here we are in twenty
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: twenty five, and these.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Dudes are still doing it.
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: So it's it's awesome to see them and see some
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: of these guys, and Profile is one of the best.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: Man always smile and always happy.
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: He went through some up to the downs, and people
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: forget he was the number one prospect ahead of like
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: Bryce Harper and all these other guys. Manny, he's had
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: a hell of a career. People can say it was
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: a disappointment. I disagree. He's had a hell of a
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: career for a guy.
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: And I mean he's a late bloomer. He's figured some
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: things out later in his career. He's an on base
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: machine these days. He was at least top ten on
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: base percentage if not better last year. So I think
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: he's gonna be a great addition. Like he mentioned, if
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I wasn't going to end up back in San Diego,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: This is a perfect spot winning team, guys he knows,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: feels like he can be himself. Yeah, I'm stock is
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: high for me. I'm in on Profar continuing to run
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: this year.
