- 0:44Speaker 5: But the real sprints just beginning now, which is exciting.
- 0:47Speaker 1: All right, So I'll do the burning question right from
- 0:50Speaker 1: the jump. What changed? Was it getting away from Lance
- 0:54Speaker 1: or something else?
- 0:58Speaker 4: Yeah, I think getting getting away from this was definitely
- 1:00Speaker 4: good for me. But you know, I think, uh, getting
- 1:04Speaker 4: this organization and and just getting kind of a fresh start,
- 1:08Speaker 4: you know, was was really important for me. And you know,
- 1:11Speaker 4: something this off season that I was excited about. And
- 1:13Speaker 4: obviously you know, whenever you get non tendered, it burns
- 1:15Speaker 4: a little bit, But for me, I was just excited
- 1:18Speaker 4: about a fresh start and getting somewhere where, you know,
- 1:22Speaker 4: winning was the most important thing.
- 1:24Speaker 6: Talk to us a little bit about forget about baseball
- 1:26Speaker 6: right now, we'll get back to that. You just had
- 1:28Speaker 6: a new baby daughter. You're a little sleepy in those eyes.
- 1:32Speaker 6: How you feeling right now? Congratulations? Healthy, happy, hopefully and
- 1:37Speaker 6: my mom is doing.
- 1:37Speaker 5: Well, healthy, happy.
- 1:40Speaker 4: We timed it really well, you know, Sunday I missed
- 1:43Speaker 4: one game and then wrote it right into the All
- 1:45Speaker 4: Star break and yeah, such a such a cool, cool,
- 1:50Speaker 4: just experience. Most respect for my wife after watching everything
- 1:54Speaker 4: that she went through and going on a ten day
- 1:56Speaker 4: roadstand right now is tough obviously being away from them
- 1:59Speaker 4: and only getting a couple of days with him, But no,
- 2:02Speaker 4: we got a healthy baby and a health of mommy,
- 2:04Speaker 4: so it's uh, it's been great.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Hey did you use my advice and make sure you
- 2:09Speaker 3: didn't gripe about your back hurting sleeping?
- 2:11Speaker 2: Yeah? I did, I did.
- 2:13Speaker 5: That was that was good advice?
- 2:14Speaker 2: You know.
- 2:15Speaker 4: I didn't want to bring up how uncomfortable a couch
- 2:17Speaker 4: was for a couple of nights, but I felt I
- 2:20Speaker 4: felt that I would just wear that one and and
- 2:22Speaker 4: be supportive.
- 2:22Speaker 5: But I appreciate you. Uh. I think that was a
- 2:25Speaker 5: good piece of advice you gave me perfect.
- 2:28Speaker 2: That's awesome. I want to talk a little bit more
- 2:29Speaker 2: about family.
- 2:30Speaker 6: Your dad, Larry, played eight seasons with the Orioles, Tigers
- 2:33Speaker 6: and Mariners. Talk a little about what he is ingrained
- 2:36Speaker 6: in you in baseball, the grind, you know, the ebbs
- 2:40Speaker 6: and flows of the of the ever lasting, getting humbled
- 2:44Speaker 6: all the time. What are you and your dad have
- 2:46Speaker 6: talked about over the years, just so you know, to
- 2:49Speaker 6: get your mind right here, because I find this so
- 2:51Speaker 6: interesting and fascinating how family members and it genetics makes,
- 2:55Speaker 6: you know, the world go around in this baseball world.
- 2:58Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt.
- 3:00Speaker 4: You know, it's fun because each year we've had different conversations.
- 3:04Speaker 4: You know, in the beginning, it was how to come
- 3:06Speaker 4: up in the league and and stay in the league,
- 3:08Speaker 4: and then it was you know, I've had different roles.
- 3:10Speaker 4: I've been a platoon player, I've been off the bench guy.
- 3:12Speaker 4: Now this year I'm an everyday starter. So you know,
- 3:16Speaker 4: being able to talk to them through each scenario and
- 3:18Speaker 4: how to handle your situation, how to you know, make
- 3:21Speaker 4: the most of each role that you're in, and so
- 3:22Speaker 4: every day it's a it's a different conversation, but just
- 3:26Speaker 4: having someone that's been through and understands how hard this
- 3:28Speaker 4: game is and what it takes to stay in this
- 3:30Speaker 4: league for a long time has been has been very important.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Gavin, I'll do another classic question. I'm sure you've been
- 3:36Speaker 1: asked it before. What are the differences behind the scenes
- 3:39Speaker 1: that are helping you prep for games? Every organization runs
- 3:42Speaker 1: themselves differently. We've spoken to quite a few players either
- 3:45Speaker 1: on the padres or that are former padres. You say,
- 3:49Speaker 1: the info and the preparation is elite, is top notch,
- 3:53Speaker 1: and I know you don't have a million teams to
- 3:55Speaker 1: compare it to, but I'm sure friends around the league
- 3:57Speaker 1: have talked to you about them as well.
- 3:58Speaker 5: What do you got for us?
- 4:00Speaker 4: Yeah, the way we prepare here in the and the
- 4:03Speaker 4: stuff available to us is awesome, you know, just preparing
- 4:06Speaker 4: on a daily basis for the pitcher at hand.
- 4:08Speaker 5: And but I just like how simple they keep it.
- 4:11Speaker 4: You know, it's they don't they take out the eye
- 4:14Speaker 4: wash and you know, the most important thing is is
- 4:17Speaker 4: six forty every night?
- 4:18Speaker 5: You know, it's it's.
- 4:19Speaker 4: Not about you know, it's not about the We get
- 4:22Speaker 4: our work in for sure, but when you show up
- 4:25Speaker 4: to the ballpark every day, you understand the most important
- 4:27Speaker 4: thing is is once the game starts. And you know,
- 4:30Speaker 4: I think that's that's most important. You keep all your
- 4:32Speaker 4: effort and your energy and you save it up for
- 4:34Speaker 4: the game. And we're extremely prepared. And the way we
- 4:37Speaker 4: go about our business and the way we talk in
- 4:39Speaker 4: the meetings and just prepare for the game is pretty special.
- 4:43Speaker 1: How did it come about when you linked up with
- 4:45Speaker 1: the Padres? Like take us through that process? Like you mentioned,
- 4:48Speaker 1: you know, it never feels good getting non tendered. Of course,
- 4:51Speaker 1: I'm sure that adds some juice for you. But what
- 4:53Speaker 1: happened after that?
- 4:55Speaker 4: Yeah, then it was you know, seeing the interest around
- 4:58Speaker 4: the league, talking to a couple of teams.
- 4:59Speaker 5: And narrowing it down.
- 5:00Speaker 4: And you know, it's funny one of my one of
- 5:03Speaker 4: my big mentors that you know, Lance played for a
- 5:05Speaker 4: while was Tony LaRussa, And you know, I had some
- 5:08Speaker 4: I was talking to some teams that Tony was.
- 5:10Speaker 5: Was knew the guys running it, and you know he he.
- 5:13Speaker 4: Spoke very highly of of Shilt and you know, he
- 5:17Speaker 4: felt it would be a good fit. And you know,
- 5:19Speaker 4: I talked to him and obviously you know, making it,
- 5:21Speaker 4: making sure the Padres was a good fit as well,
- 5:24Speaker 4: you know, what they needed it and what you know,
- 5:26Speaker 4: what I could bring to the table, and you know,
- 5:29Speaker 4: and then the business side of it is is the
- 5:30Speaker 4: business side of it, So that's the negotiations with all
- 5:32Speaker 4: the teams and everything.
- 5:33Speaker 5: But just felt like a really good fit.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Hey, I know you you signed to be a d
- 5:40Speaker 3: H and you're getting some left field time and I've
- 5:42Speaker 3: seen you run out there, but I've seen you progress
- 5:44Speaker 3: over the years when we were from Chicago on the years,
- 5:47Speaker 3: how much how comfortable were you out there? And you know,
- 5:50Speaker 3: is it something you were expecting as the year went on.
- 5:53Speaker 4: Yeah, I think when I came in it was it
- 5:55Speaker 4: was going to be mostly first in First and d H.
- 5:59Speaker 4: But as the season per dressed on and what our
- 6:01Speaker 4: needs were and you know, being able to go out
- 6:04Speaker 4: there and help us out there has been huge. And
- 6:06Speaker 4: I feel like I've gotten a lot better out there.
- 6:08Speaker 4: You know, put in a lot of work with the
- 6:10Speaker 4: guys here, and you know, I think that's the cool
- 6:12Speaker 4: thing about being able to play different positions is you
- 6:14Speaker 4: allow yourself to get on the field in many different ways,
- 6:16Speaker 4: and you know, being able to help this team and
- 6:18Speaker 4: play out there every day has been It's been a
- 6:20Speaker 4: lot of fun.
- 6:20Speaker 5: It's been a new challenge for me and really embracing it.
- 6:25Speaker 1: You know about the best place to buy, sell, trade,
- 6:28Speaker 1: or look for that special card in your world. It's
- 6:31Speaker 1: called Arena Club and aer Kratz just went through a
- 6:33Speaker 1: little slab pack experience and.
- 6:35Speaker 2: You went big. You went for the Ruby Pack. I
- 6:38Speaker 2: love it.
- 6:38Speaker 7: I love clicking on the Ruby Pack and knowing that
- 6:41Speaker 7: we're going to open something that is going to be epic.
- 6:43Speaker 7: H I got a cal Rican Junior autographed one of
- 6:47Speaker 7: forty two. I'm keeping it right now, but I would
- 6:50Speaker 7: love to have it in my hands, so I might
- 6:52Speaker 7: even have them send it to me already graded everything
- 6:55Speaker 7: taking care for me.
- 6:56Speaker 2: That's right.
- 6:56Speaker 1: You want to hang it up and stare at it
- 6:58Speaker 1: all day, go for it. But if you're in there
- 7:00Speaker 1: to get something else or to sell.
- 7:01Speaker 2: It away, you can do that.
- 7:03Speaker 1: They've got the buyback program, or you can put it
- 7:05Speaker 1: on the marketplace yourself. Tons of options. This is where
- 7:08Speaker 1: the best cards live. It's arenaclub dot com. Slash foul
- 7:12Speaker 1: and use the code foul for twenty percent off your
- 7:14Speaker 1: first slab pack, or if you'd like to purchase a card,
- 7:17Speaker 1: twenty percent off your first card purchase again Arena club
- 7:20Speaker 1: dot com slash f o U L use code f
- 7:24Speaker 1: o U L.
- 7:25Speaker 6: So I got a gyues no question, and then I'll
- 7:27Speaker 6: ask the real question I want. Do you naturally hate
- 7:30Speaker 6: the Dodgers? Now since you're on the padres.
- 7:36Speaker 5: I enjoy the rivalry. I enjoy.
- 7:39Speaker 2: That.
- 7:39Speaker 6: I love that political answer. I'll take it, no worries.
- 7:42Speaker 6: How how are you guys gonna get over the hump
- 7:44Speaker 6: this team, the Dodger's been struggling. It's always a battle
- 7:47Speaker 6: against them, but they always seem to come out on
- 7:50Speaker 6: top of the division or what have you in the playoffs.
- 7:53Speaker 6: You know, not to bring up bad things and what's
- 7:55Speaker 6: been going on over the recent years. How do you
- 7:57Speaker 6: guys get over the hump here and get through to
- 7:59Speaker 6: this dog your team and make a run. Because last year,
- 8:02Speaker 6: my partner here, Scotty, thought you guys would have won
- 8:05Speaker 6: the whole thing if you would have won those last
- 8:06Speaker 6: two games last year. So talk to you about how
- 8:08Speaker 6: you guys finally get over the hump here and finally
- 8:11Speaker 6: beat the Dodgers.
- 8:14Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm excited for the challenge.
- 8:16Speaker 4: You know, obviously on paper they are what they are,
- 8:18Speaker 4: and you know, obviously we're not going to shy away
- 8:20Speaker 4: from because we have a lot of star Town as well.
- 8:22Speaker 4: And you know, I think that you know, our our
- 8:24Speaker 4: pitching has been extremely good this year, our hitters are
- 8:27Speaker 4: We're starting to pick it up and get it going.
- 8:29Speaker 4: And you know, obviously at the deadline with with Peller
- 8:31Speaker 4: and the way he does business, anything can happen. But
- 8:34Speaker 4: you know, we got Michael King coming back hopefully soon,
- 8:36Speaker 4: and you know, our team's really line it up to
- 8:38Speaker 4: be special. So you know, I think that, you know,
- 8:41Speaker 4: the biggest thing is is not worry about other teams
- 8:43Speaker 4: and just kind of control what you can control and
- 8:45Speaker 4: go out every day and put stack wins up and
- 8:48Speaker 4: see what happens. But you know, obviously the Dodgers are
- 8:51Speaker 4: the head of the pack right now, and you know,
- 8:53Speaker 4: we're excited to, uh see what happens in this next sprint.
- 8:57Speaker 1: I think you nailed it with the inclusion of Prowler
- 9:00Speaker 1: in that sentence.
- 9:01Speaker 2: So this is one of the.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Premier Gunslinger executives in the game, which is fun for
- 9:07Speaker 1: I would say basically everyone, right, it's fun for players
- 9:10Speaker 1: when you get some help. It's fun for fans to
- 9:12Speaker 1: follow really of the entire sport. We want more trades activity,
- 9:17Speaker 1: and he's always making phone calls. He is more aggressive
- 9:20Speaker 1: than most. So during this time period we're ten days
- 9:24Speaker 1: away from the trade deadline. Do you get a little
- 9:26Speaker 1: fandom in you in a good way where you're keeping
- 9:28Speaker 1: track of the rumors and the reports. Are you one
- 9:30Speaker 1: of those people that are checking the phone obviously? I
- 9:32Speaker 1: know most club basses now have the guys in the
- 9:34Speaker 1: phones a lot. Is that happening over these ten days here?
- 9:37Speaker 1: And this is different. This is different from the White
- 9:39Speaker 1: Sox days, where the phone checking is probably in a
- 9:42Speaker 1: different way like uh trade.
- 9:45Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it is. It is completely different.
- 9:47Speaker 4: I remember in twenty three sitting with Lance and a
- 9:50Speaker 4: couple guys and by thirty minutes later they're all off
- 9:52Speaker 4: the team. So this is this is a little different now.
- 9:55Speaker 4: But yeah, I've never seen you know, I've never seen
- 9:58Speaker 4: Preller not.
- 9:58Speaker 5: On the phone.
- 9:59Speaker 4: So think we're always kind of looking around and you know,
- 10:02Speaker 4: I know from just looking around the league when when
- 10:04Speaker 4: I was with the White Sox, you always look to
- 10:05Speaker 4: see what the Padres do because you know he's aggressive
- 10:08Speaker 4: and you know he wants to win.
- 10:09Speaker 5: I think it's great for baseball.
- 10:10Speaker 4: I think you see now there's so much parody around
- 10:13Speaker 4: the league and so many teams that are in it,
- 10:14Speaker 4: and you know, obviously at the trade deadline, anything can happened,
- 10:18Speaker 4: and teams bolster up around the league. And I think
- 10:21Speaker 4: it's an exciting time for fans. I think it's exciting
- 10:23Speaker 4: time for baseball. And you know, we'll see what happens
- 10:26Speaker 4: with us.
- 10:28Speaker 3: Hey, like you said, I know it broke your heart
- 10:29Speaker 3: when I got traded from the White Sox years ago,
- 10:32Speaker 3: and you're like I heard you're like the lost puppy
- 10:34Speaker 3: running around the playpass, didn't know who to follow or
- 10:36Speaker 3: anything like that. That being said, now you get to
- 10:38Speaker 3: play every day and you know you're in the lineup.
- 10:40Speaker 3: Is that hurt the golf game cause we're not getting
- 10:42Speaker 3: to play much or what are we working with?
- 10:45Speaker 5: It's definitely, it's definitely hurt the golf game a little
- 10:47Speaker 5: bit in a good way.
- 10:49Speaker 2: You know.
- 10:49Speaker 4: It's, uh, this is probably the least I've ever played.
- 10:53Speaker 4: You know, I missed it a little bit. I got
- 10:54Speaker 4: to play a couple of times in the road days.
- 10:56Speaker 4: But you know, between playing every day and the baby,
- 10:58Speaker 4: now it's it's gonna be off season.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Only it looks like, yeah, you're finally grown up. Now
- 11:03Speaker 3: it's good for you.
- 11:05Speaker 5: Yeah it feels good.
- 11:06Speaker 2: You know.
- 11:06Speaker 4: I still still enjoy taking money from you on the
- 11:09Speaker 4: on the course, but that can always wait till the
- 11:11Speaker 4: off season.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Hey, that was Graveman. Don't get us confused. You always
- 11:14Speaker 3: took it from Graveman.
- 11:18Speaker 2: All right.
- 11:18Speaker 1: So I've got a few fan questions. This is a
- 11:21Speaker 1: perfect one to start with because it involves Lance as well.
- 11:24Speaker 1: So we can get Lance on the screen for this
- 11:26Speaker 1: one too. Let's four box it. Okay, So Mike g said,
- 11:29Speaker 1: for Gavin, how would he how would he approach that
- 11:31Speaker 1: bad against prime Lance Lynn? And how would Lynn try
- 11:35Speaker 1: to get him out? So we'll let Gavin.
- 11:38Speaker 5: Well, I think we can.
- 11:39Speaker 4: I think we can pull up the tape last year
- 11:42Speaker 4: of our bats, he threw me a two oh change
- 11:45Speaker 4: up with the guy that throws ninety percent heater. So
- 11:47Speaker 4: you talk about the fear factor already, but I think
- 11:50Speaker 4: there was a double down the left field line, and
- 11:53Speaker 4: uh yeah, I actually had him sign the ball that
- 11:55Speaker 4: you know said I was one for two of the
- 11:57Speaker 4: walk and I put on their two oh change up
- 11:59Speaker 4: on their well.
- 12:00Speaker 5: So I had that sitting in my house at home.
- 12:04Speaker 3: The question was Prime, Right, we're not talking last year
- 12:07Speaker 3: in your career and missing a couple of hamstring tender.
- 12:09Speaker 4: Look, I just I just saw the Saint Louis Cardinals
- 12:12Speaker 4: jersey on, so I just figured it was Prime Lancelne.
- 12:14Speaker 3: Wow, Yeah, you know, no, right he did? He shot
- 12:22Speaker 3: a sinker. You know he's hitting fourth. He late barrels,
- 12:25Speaker 3: slapped the ball down the left field line, so you know, yeah,
- 12:28Speaker 3: a little bit of a slappy, but you know that's
- 12:30Speaker 3: kind of fits his mold. That's he was a platoon
- 12:32Speaker 3: guy back then too, So you gotta slap. You gotta
- 12:35Speaker 3: get your knox just to hope you get in the
- 12:36Speaker 3: line up the next day. So I get it. But
- 12:39Speaker 3: you got Prime. Let's go to Texas, right, Todd? Prime?
- 12:42Speaker 3: When you're just when I'm punching tickets, it's just four seems.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Buy him up.
- 12:46Speaker 3: Top all day long, and then every and then cut
- 12:49Speaker 3: her in hard, let him hook it foul, Yeah, let
- 12:51Speaker 3: him hook it foul. Thinks he's on it, and then
- 12:53Speaker 3: it's buy him again up top.
- 12:54Speaker 2: Oh my, So he's not catching up to the one
- 12:57Speaker 2: up here, all.
- 12:58Speaker 3: Right, and he's gonna he's gonna keep trying to get
- 13:00Speaker 3: to it too, but he just gets it. It gets
- 13:03Speaker 3: a little here, he gets a little here.
- 13:05Speaker 2: He can't do it. That gets.
- 13:08Speaker 4: This brings back to all of our clubhouse back and forth,
- 13:10Speaker 4: and I do miss it.
- 13:12Speaker 5: I do miss it.
- 13:14Speaker 2: It's all good. It's all good.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I'll get you another one. This from
- 13:21Speaker 1: Chris Fan. Question Gavin, what's uh? Basically asked, what's what's
- 13:25Speaker 1: the diet at this point in your life to kind
- 13:27Speaker 1: of keep you fresh throughout a whole season? And what
- 13:30Speaker 1: have you learned about that?
- 13:32Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 13:33Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing for me is just you know,
- 13:35Speaker 4: this year, especially playing out there every day, especially in
- 13:37Speaker 4: left field, has just been you know, sticking on all
- 13:40Speaker 4: the proteins and just recovery. It's been more recovery than
- 13:42Speaker 4: I've ever done in my career. And you know, just
- 13:45Speaker 4: a lot of protein cars before the game and then
- 13:48Speaker 4: you know, hydrating up and getting ready for the next day.
- 13:50Speaker 4: Especially right now we're on this East Coast swing and
- 13:53Speaker 4: and the heat and humidity has been has been tough.
- 13:55Speaker 4: So yeah, recovering more than ever and being conscious what
- 13:58Speaker 4: you're putting in.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Okay, I got one more for me. Back to the
- 14:04Speaker 1: White Sox days again, are you keeping in touch with
- 14:06Speaker 1: a lot of the guys there? Like you know, obviously
- 14:09Speaker 1: you're not there anymore, and you mentioned it was good
- 14:11Speaker 1: times when you had Lance there, But do you keep
- 14:13Speaker 1: in touch now? Is more of a veteran right You've
- 14:16Speaker 1: got dirt and your spikes in the league to provide
- 14:18Speaker 1: even just motivation to some of the guys that are
- 14:20Speaker 1: trying to find their footing or obviously going through hard
- 14:22Speaker 1: times in terms of wins and losses.
- 14:25Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny. I don't know many of the guys
- 14:30Speaker 4: there now, you know. I know some of the pitchers,
- 14:32Speaker 4: and obviously Ben and Tendi and I are really close
- 14:34Speaker 4: and Luis Robert, but a lot of the guys are
- 14:37Speaker 4: new and you know, I still stay in touch with
- 14:39Speaker 4: a lot of staff. I love the staff there now,
- 14:41Speaker 4: and you know, some of the guys been reaching out
- 14:43Speaker 4: to me and congratulating me on just the years so far.
- 14:46Speaker 4: But you know, there's been a lot of turnover there.
- 14:48Speaker 4: I've been in touch with Vonnie a lot. I love
- 14:50Speaker 4: to see what he's doing in Milwaukee. Really happy for him,
- 14:54Speaker 4: and uh, you know, just just some of the guys.
- 14:56Speaker 4: Obviously Ben in tending and I stay in touch a lot,
- 14:58Speaker 4: but you know, a lot of the guys there young,
- 15:00Speaker 4: and you know, it's an exciting, you know, exciting quarter
- 15:02Speaker 4: that they're running out there right now. And you know,
- 15:04Speaker 4: I know they have a lot of pitching coming up
- 15:06Speaker 4: for him as well. So there's just been a lot
- 15:08Speaker 4: of turnover there. And but I you know, it's I
- 15:10Speaker 4: spend a lot of time there, and I wish nothing
- 15:12Speaker 4: but the best for those guys.
- 15:14Speaker 6: All right, last question overall here. I want to get
- 15:16Speaker 6: Padre love here because I love watching you guys play.
- 15:19Speaker 6: I love the personalities on your team. Talk to us
- 15:21Speaker 6: a little bit about Tatis Machado, who's a guy in
- 15:24Speaker 6: that clubhouse that you you nobody would understand, how funny,
- 15:28Speaker 6: how just funny the dude is, like, talk to us
- 15:30Speaker 6: about some of those personalities, like a guy everybody like,
- 15:33Speaker 6: no way.
- 15:35Speaker 4: Yeah, I think, uh man, it's it's such a fun clubhouse,
- 15:39Speaker 4: just the brand that we play and the fun that
- 15:41Speaker 4: we have in there.
- 15:41Speaker 5: But you know, for me, it's Luisa Rias you know
- 15:44Speaker 5: he is.
- 15:44Speaker 4: He's hilarious and just the energy he brings and and
- 15:47Speaker 4: just the behind the scenes. He's been a ton of
- 15:51Speaker 4: fun to play with. Obviously, playing against in the Minnesota
- 15:53Speaker 4: I could see some of that, but being around him
- 15:55Speaker 4: every day has been has been a blast. But just
- 15:58Speaker 4: seeing you know, Manny behind the scenes and just the
- 16:01Speaker 4: work he puts in and playing every single day and
- 16:04Speaker 4: playing through the aches and pains, and you know, just
- 16:08Speaker 4: just not worrying about it, just going out there every
- 16:10Speaker 4: day and and playing. And I don't think he's missed
- 16:12Speaker 4: a game this year, so so seeing him and Toddy
- 16:15Speaker 4: the way they go about their business. But you know,
- 16:17Speaker 4: just the behind the scenes funny guys is Luisa Ryas
- 16:19Speaker 4: for sure.
- 16:21Speaker 2: It's fun to watch too.
- 16:23Speaker 1: That's a very different player from you.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Ever try hitting like him?
- 16:25Speaker 5: Just I couldn't. I couldn't do it.
- 16:28Speaker 4: I watched him in the cage and it's impressive. But
- 16:31Speaker 4: I think i'd be out this league pretty quick if
- 16:33Speaker 4: I tried to.
- 16:33Speaker 2: Hit like.
- 16:36Speaker 3: I could get him. I could not get him out.
- 16:39Speaker 5: It's crazy.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, Gavin, this was awesome man. Thanks
- 16:44Speaker 1: for stopping by for Lance's FT hosting debut.

- 16:49Speaker 2: No?
- 16:49Speaker 4: I love that Savana Banana's shirt on him too. That
- 16:51Speaker 4: was fun team out there high pants. I don't think
- 16:55Speaker 4: those high pants are your look. But other than that,
- 16:57Speaker 4: I thought it was.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Pretty cooor.
- 16:59Speaker 3: Is either that or mid Casts, But the Midcasts might
- 17:01Speaker 3: have been a place since I am retired, that's a
- 17:03Speaker 3: retirement look true.
- 17:05Speaker 5: Yeah, that was certainly a retirement.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Look there you go.
- 17:09Speaker 3: I retired for a couple of years.
