  back
• 1:12
  in
• 1:12
  the
• 1:12
  studio
• 1:13
  with
• 1:13
  me.
• 1:13
  We
• 1:13
  did
• 1:13
  talk

  with
• 1:14
  Zach
• 1:14
  Scott
• 1:15
  last
• 1:15
  time
• 1:15
  about
• 1:15
  the
• 1:16
  trade
• 1:16
  deadline
• 1:16
  and
• 1:16
  a
• 1:16
  little
• 1:17
  bit
• 1:17
  with
• 1:18
  some
• 1:18
  of
• 1:18
  the
• 1:18
  prospects.
• 1:19
  And
• 1:19
  you
• 1:19
  know,
• 1:19
  it
• 1:19
  was
• 1:19
  interesting
• 1:20
  to
• 1:20
  kind
• 1:20
  of
• 1:20
  break
• 1:21
  down
• 1:21
  as
• 1:21
  the
• 1:21
  trade
• 1:22
  deadline
• 1:22
  was
• 1:23
  was
• 1:23
  happening
• 1:23
  and
• 1:24
  what
• 1:24
  moves
• 1:25
  people
• 1:25
  might
• 1:25
  make.
• 1:25
  And
• 1:25
  I
• 1:26
  think
• 1:27
  kind
• 1:27
  of
• 1:27
  puts
• 1:27
  teams
• 1:27
  in
• 1:28
  a
• 1:28
  situation
• 1:28
  where
• 1:28
  they
• 1:28
  are
• 1:29
  now.
• 1:29
  Some
• 1:29
  teams
• 1:29
  went
• 1:30
  for
• 1:30
  it
• 1:30
  and
• 1:30
  made
• 1:30
  a
• 1:30
  move
• 1:31
  and
• 1:31
  maybe
• 1:31
  have
• 1:31
  gone
• 1:32
  9:1
• 1:32
  in
• 1:32
  the
• 1:33
  last
• 1:33
  week
• 1:33
  and
• 1:33
  a
• 1:34
  half.
• 1:34
  And
• 1:34
  other
• 1:35
  teams
• 1:35
  kind
• 1:35
  of
• 1:35
  sat
• 1:35
  back
• 1:36
  and
• 1:36
  said
• 1:36
  maybe
• 1:36
  we're
• 1:37
  just
• 1:37
  going
• 1:37
  to
• 1:37
  see
• 1:37
  what
• 1:37
  we
• 1:38
  have
• 1:38
  and
• 1:38
  you
• 1:39
  know,
• 1:39
  we'll
• 1:39
  get
• 1:39
  into
• 1:39
  that.
• 1:39
  But
• 1:40
  there's,
• 1:40
  there's
• 1:40
  a
• 1:40
  lot
• 1:40
  of
• 1:41
  frustration
• 1:41
  in
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  New
• 1:41
  York
• 1:42
  area.
• 1:42
  Yankees,
• 1:43
  Mets,
• 1:43
  both
• 1:44
  are
• 1:44
  having
• 1:44
  a
• 1:44
  tough
• 1:44
  time
• 1:45
  over
• 1:45
  the
• 1:45
  last
• 1:45
  few
• 1:46
  months
• 1:46
  and
• 1:46
  it
• 1:47
  really
• 1:47
  has
• 1:47
  not
• 1:48
  gotten
• 1:48
  much
• 1:48
  better
• 1:48
  in
• 1:49
  the
• 1:49
  last
• 1:49
  two
• 1:49
  weeks.
• 1:49
  Yeah.
• 1:50
  From
• 1:50
  a
• 1:50
  talk
• 1:50
  show
• 1:51
  standpoint
• 1:51
  or
• 1:51
  even
• 1:51
  from
• 1:52
  a
• 1:52
  fan
• 1:52
  standpoint,
• 1:52
  you
• 1:53
  know,
• 1:53
  thank
• 1:53
  God
• 1:54
  there's
• 1:54
  some,
• 1:54
  some
• 1:55
  football
• 1:55
  on
• 1:55
  the
• 1:55
  horizon,
• 1:56
  but
• 1:56
  that
• 1:56
  can
• 1:56
  go
• 1:56
  stale
• 1:57
  pretty
• 1:57
  quickly
• 1:57
  as
• 1:57
  well.
• 1:57
  But
• 1:58
  still
• 1:58
  a
• 1:59
  lot
• 1:59
  of
• 1:59
  baseball
• 1:59
  to
• 1:59
  be
• 1:59
  played.
• 2:00
  You
• 2:00
  know,
• 2:00
  we're
• 2:01
  in
• 2:01
  early
• 2:01
  August,
• 2:01
  but
• 2:02
  it's
• 2:02
  definitely
• 2:02
  it's
• 2:03
  not
• 2:03
  looking
• 2:03
  good
• 2:03
  at
• 2:03
  the
• 2:03
  moment
• 2:04
  and
• 2:04
  some
• 2:05
  things
• 2:05
  have
• 2:05
  got
• 2:05
  to
• 2:06
  change
• 2:06
  on
• 2:06
  both
• 2:07
  ends.
• 2:08
  But
• 2:08
  before
• 2:08
  we
• 2:09
  get
• 2:09
  a
• 2:09
  little
• 2:09
  deeper,
• 2:10
  dive
• 2:10
  into
• 2:10
  that.
• 2:10
  We
• 2:11
  are
• 2:11
  very
• 2:11
  happy
• 2:12
  to
• 2:12
  be

  call
• 2:18
  them
• 2:19
  the

  It's
• 3:33
  so
• 3:33
  good
• 3:33
  to
• 3:33
  work
• 3:34
  with
• 3:34
  these
• 3:34
  young
• 3:34
  kids
• 3:35
  and
• 3:36
  see
• 3:36
  them
• 3:37
  really
• 3:37
  make
• 3:38
  changes
• 3:39
  very
• 3:40
  quickly.
• 3:40
  So
• 3:41
  I'm
• 3:41
  blessed
• 3:41
  and
• 3:42
  loving
• 3:42
  life
• 3:43
  here.
• 3:44
  So,
• 3:44
  Mickey
• 3:45
  Criss
• 3:45
  here.
• 3:45
  I
• 3:45
  just
• 3:45
  wanted
• 3:45
  to
• 3:46
  ask
• 3:46
  you
• 3:46
  when,
• 3:47
  you
• 3:47
  know,
• 3:47
  you
• 3:47
  tried
• 3:47
  to
• 3:48
  put
• 3:48
  yourself
• 3:48
  in
• 3:49
  a
• 3:49
  player
• 3:49
  standpoint
• 3:50
  and,
• 3:50
  you
• 3:50
  know,
• 3:51
  I
• 3:51
  know
• 3:51
  that
• 3:51
  didn't
• 3:51
  last
• 3:51
  for
• 3:51
  you
• 3:52
  too
• 3:52
  long
• 3:52
  in
• 3:52
  the
• 3:52
  major
• 3:52
  leagues,
• 3:53
  but
• 3:53
  I
• 3:53
  think
• 3:53
  that
• 3:54
  just
• 3:54
  shows
• 3:54
  how
• 3:54
  hard
• 3:54
  it
• 3:55
  is
• 3:55
  to
• 3:55
  make
• 3:55
  it
• 3:55
  to
• 3:55
  that
• 3:56
  level.
• 3:57
  What
• 3:57
  made
• 3:57
  you
• 3:58
  make
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  transition
• 3:59
  from
• 3:59
  a
• 3:59
  player
• 3:59
  to
• 4:00
  a
• 4:00
  coach
• 4:00
  and
• 4:00
  how
• 4:00
  did
• 4:00
  that
• 4:01
  go
• 4:01
  for
• 4:01
  you?
• 4:02
  Well,
• 4:02
  you
• 4:02
  know,
• 4:03
  I
• 4:03
  tried
• 4:03
  to
• 4:04
  play
• 4:04
  as
• 4:04
  long
• 4:05
  as
• 4:05
  I
• 4:05
  could.
• 4:05
  Right.
• 4:06
  I
• 4:06
  always
• 4:07
  kind
• 4:07
  of
• 4:07
  knew,
• 4:07
  you
• 4:08
  know,
• 4:08
  it'd
• 4:08
  be
• 4:08
  difficult
• 4:08
  for
• 4:09
  me
• 4:09
  to
• 4:09
  really,
• 4:10
  really
• 4:10
  compete
• 4:11
  at
• 4:11
  the
• 4:11
  major
• 4:11
  league
• 4:12
  level
• 4:12
  just
• 4:12
  because
• 4:12
  my
• 4:13
  style
• 4:13
  stuff,
• 4:14
  my
• 4:14
  fastball
• 4:15
  was
• 4:15
  a
• 4:15
  little
• 4:15
  short,
• 4:16
  my
• 4:16
  curveball
• 4:17
  didn't
• 4:17
  really
• 4:17
  have
• 4:17
  the
• 4:18
  bite
• 4:18
  that
• 4:18
  we
• 4:18
  liked.
• 4:18
  So
• 4:19
  I
• 4:19
  just
• 4:19
  kind
• 4:19
  of
• 4:19
  grinded
• 4:20
  out
• 4:20
  some
• 4:20
  years
• 4:21
  in
• 4:21
  the
• 4:21
  minor
• 4:21
  leagues
• 4:22
  and
• 4:22
  got,
• 4:22
  you
• 4:23
  know,
• 4:23
  a
• 4:23
  few
• 4:23
  years
• 4:24
  in
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  big
• 4:24
  league
• 4:24
  pitching.
• 4:26
  Not
• 4:26
  with
• 4:26
  great
• 4:27
  success,
• 4:27
  but
• 4:27
  I
• 4:27
  really
• 4:28
  enjoyed
• 4:28
  my
• 4:28
  time
• 4:29
  playing
• 4:29
  in
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  major
• 4:30
  leagues.
• 4:30
  So,
• 4:30
  you
• 4:31
  know,
• 4:31
  my
• 4:31
  goal
• 4:32
  really
• 4:32
  early
• 4:33
  on,
• 4:33
  probably
• 4:33
  halfway
• 4:34
  through
• 4:34
  my
• 4:34
  career
• 4:35
  was,
• 4:35
  you
• 4:35
  know
• 4:35
  what?
• 4:36
  I
• 4:36
  want
• 4:36
  to
• 4:37
  be
• 4:37
  a
• 4:37
  coach,
• 4:37
  you
• 4:37
  know,
• 4:38
  at
• 4:38
  the
• 4:38
  major
• 4:38
  league
• 4:39
  level.
• 4:39
  So
• 4:39
  I
• 4:39
  just
• 4:39
  tried
• 4:40
  to
• 4:40
  play
• 4:40
  as
• 4:40
  long
• 4:40
  as
• 4:40
  I
• 4:40
  could,
• 4:41
  got
• 4:41
  as
• 4:42
  much
• 4:42
  experience
• 4:42
  overseas,
• 4:43
  you
• 4:43
  know,
• 4:44
  able
• 4:44
  to
• 4:44
  communicate
• 4:45
  with
• 4:45
  people
• 4:45
  from
• 4:45
  different
• 4:46
  countries,
• 4:47
  learning
• 4:47
  how
• 4:48
  it
• 4:48
  is
• 4:49
  to
• 4:49
  Play
• 4:49
  in
• 4:49
  a
• 4:49
  different
• 4:50
  country.
• 4:50
  Because
• 4:51
  when
• 4:51
  you're
• 4:51
  dealing
• 4:51
  with
• 4:52
  those
• 4:52
  guys
• 4:52
  that
• 4:52
  are
• 4:52
  coming
• 4:53
  over
• 4:53
  to
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  United
• 4:53
  States
• 4:54
  and
• 4:54
  they're
• 4:54
  not
• 4:54
  from
• 4:55
  here,
• 4:55
  it's
• 4:55
  a
• 4:55
  difficult
• 4:56
  thing,
• 4:56
  you
• 4:56
  know,
• 4:56
  and
• 4:57
  it
• 4:57
  doesn't
• 4:57
  matter
• 4:57
  how
• 4:57
  much
• 4:58
  money
• 4:58
  you're
• 4:58
  making,
• 4:58
  it's
• 4:59
  a
• 4:59
  difficult
• 5:00
  thing
• 5:00
  to
• 5:00
  be
• 5:00
  away
• 5:00
  from
• 5:01
  home
• 5:01
  and
• 5:02
  family
• 5:02
  and
• 5:03
  play
• 5:03
  in
• 5:03
  the
• 5:03
  big
• 5:03
  league.
• 5:04
  So
• 5:04
  that
• 5:05
  experience
• 5:06
  really
• 5:07
  was
• 5:08
  able
• 5:08
  to
• 5:09
  help
• 5:09
  me
• 5:09
  communicate
• 5:10
  with
• 5:10
  those
• 5:10
  players.
• 5:11
  And,
• 5:12
  you
• 5:12
  know,
• 5:12
  I
• 5:13
  really
• 5:13
  enjoyed

  playing,
• 5:15
  for
• 5:15
  sure.
• 5:16
  Well,
• 5:17
  I'm
• 5:17
  sure
• 5:17
  it's
• 5:17
  a
• 5:17
  big
• 5:17
  difference
• 5:18
  between,

  when

• 6:38
  What
• 6:39
  is
• 6:39
  it
• 6:39
  about
• 6:40
  the
• 6:40
  Cleveland
• 6:41
  organization,
• 6:42
  including
• 6:43
  yourself,
• 6:44
  that
• 6:44
  allows
• 6:44
  pitchers
• 6:45
  to
• 6:45
  succeed
• 6:46
  in
• 6:46
  that
• 6:46
  situation?
• 6:48
  You
• 6:48
  know,
• 6:48
  we
• 6:49
  really
• 6:49
  tried
• 6:50
  to
• 6:50
  dot
• 6:51
  every
• 6:52
  I
• 6:52
  and
• 6:52
  cross
• 6:53
  every
• 6:53
  T
• 6:53
  when
• 6:54
  it
• 6:54
  came
• 6:54
  to
• 6:55
  preparation.
• 6:56
  You
• 6:57
  know,
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  have
• 6:57
  to
• 6:58
  stay
• 6:58
  healthy
• 6:58
  if
• 6:58
  you
• 6:59
  want
• 6:59
  to
• 6:59
  have
• 6:59
  a
• 7:00
  good
• 7:00
  season.
• 7:01
  We
• 7:01
  also
• 7:03
  really
• 7:03
  allowed
• 7:04
  our
• 7:04
  pitchers
• 7:04
  to
• 7:05
  embrace
• 7:05
  pitching
• 7:06
  deep
• 7:06
  into
• 7:06
  games
• 7:07
  at
• 7:07
  that
• 7:07
  point,
• 7:08
  which
• 7:09
  I
• 7:09
  think
• 7:09
  is
• 7:09
  kind
• 7:10
  of
• 7:10
  fallen
• 7:10
  by
• 7:10
  the
• 7:10
  wayside
• 7:11
  a
• 7:11
  little
• 7:11
  bit.
• 7:12
  So
• 7:12
  our.
• 7:13
  Our
• 7:13
  starters
• 7:13
  hauled
• 7:14
  a
• 7:14
  lot
• 7:14
  of
• 7:14
  innings.
• 7:15
  I
• 7:15
  think
• 7:15
  we
• 7:15
  were
• 7:15
  up
• 7:15
  in
• 7:16
  the
• 7:16
  top,
• 7:16
  you
• 7:16
  know,
• 7:16
  two
• 7:16
  or
• 7:17
  three
• 7:17
  every
• 7:17
  year
• 7:17
  as
• 7:18
  far
• 7:18
  as
• 7:18
  innings
• 7:18
  pitched
• 7:19
  by
• 7:19
  starters.
• 7:20
  And
• 7:20
  I
• 7:20
  really
• 7:21
  think
• 7:21
  that
• 7:21
  formula
• 7:22
  worked.
• 7:22
  We
• 7:22
  had
• 7:22
  a
• 7:22
  great
• 7:22
  bullpen.
• 7:23
  But,
• 7:24
  you
• 7:24
  know,
• 7:24
  wherever
• 7:25
  you
• 7:25
  are,
• 7:26
  it's
• 7:26
  all
• 7:26
  about
• 7:27
  being
• 7:27
  blessed
• 7:27
  with
• 7:28
  good,
• 7:28
  good
• 7:28
  players
• 7:29
  and
• 7:29
  we
• 7:29
  had
• 7:29
  great
• 7:30
  pitchers
• 7:30
  with,
• 7:31
  with
• 7:31
  Cleveland.
• 7:31
  We
• 7:32
  had
• 7:33
  there
• 7:33
  for
• 7:33
  about
• 7:33
  five
• 7:34
  years
• 7:34
  putting
• 7:35
  up
• 7:35
  some
• 7:35
  very
• 7:36
  impressive
• 7:36
  record
• 7:37
  breaking
• 7:37
  numbers.
• 7:39
  And
• 7:39
  it
• 7:39
  certainly
• 7:40
  seemed,
• 7:40
  you
• 7:40
  know,
• 7:40
  for
• 7:40
  the
• 7:40
  city
• 7:41
  of
• 7:41
  Cleveland,
• 7:41
  which
• 7:41
  always
• 7:42
  got,
• 7:42
  I
• 7:42
  think,
• 7:43
  kind
• 7:43
  of
• 7:43
  a
• 7:43
  bad
• 7:43
  rap
• 7:45
  in
• 7:45
  professional
• 7:46
  sports
• 7:46
  and
• 7:46
  just,
• 7:47
  I
• 7:47
  think
• 7:47
  it's
• 7:47
  a
• 7:47
  lovely
• 7:47
  city.
• 7:48
  Chris,
• 7:49
  actually,
• 7:49
  you
• 7:49
  know,
• 7:50
  he
• 7:50
  spent
• 7:50
  some
• 7:50
  time
• 7:50
  working
• 7:51
  there,
• 7:51
  just
• 7:52
  such
• 7:52
  a
• 7:52
  great
• 7:53
  time
• 7:53
  for
• 7:53
  Cleveland
• 7:54
  Indians
• 7:54
  and
• 7:54
  for
• 7:55
  the
• 7:55
  organization.
• 7:55
  And
• 7:56
  like
• 7:56
  you
• 7:56
  said,
• 7:57
  along
• 7:57
  those
• 7:58
  lines,
• 7:59
  I
• 7:59
  wanted
• 7:59
  to
• 7:59
  ask
• 7:59
  you,
• 8:00
  you
• 8:00
  worked
• 8:00
  under
• 8:01
  Terry
• 8:01
  Francona
• 8:02
  and
• 8:02
  it
• 8:02
  just
• 8:03
  seems,
• 8:03
  wherever
• 8:04
  he
• 8:04
  goes,
• 8:04
  he
• 8:05
  just
• 8:05
  seems
• 8:05
  to
• 8:05
  a.
• 8:06
  He
• 8:06
  wins,
• 8:07
  but
• 8:07
  you
• 8:07
  just
• 8:07
  hear
• 8:08
  great
• 8:08
  things
• 8:08
  about
• 8:08
  him.
• 8:09
  Can
• 8:09
  you
• 8:09
  talk
• 8:09
  a
• 8:10
  little
• 8:10
  bit
• 8:10
  about
• 8:10
  Terry
• 8:11
  and
• 8:11
  what
• 8:12
  it
• 8:12
  was
• 8:12
  like
• 8:12
  working
• 8:12
  under
• 8:13
  him
• 8:13
  and
• 8:14
  some
• 8:14
  of
• 8:14
  the
• 8:14
  things
• 8:14
  you
• 8:15
  took
• 8:15
  with
• 8:15
  you
• 8:15
  to
• 8:15
  your
• 8:16
  first
• 8:16
  managerial
• 8:16
  stop?
• 8:18
  Yeah,
• 8:18
  absolutely.
• 8:20
  You
• 8:20
  know,
• 8:20
  Terry
• 8:22
  is
• 8:24
  such
• 8:24
  a
• 8:26
  relaxed
• 8:27
  person
• 8:29
  on
• 8:29
  a
• 8:30
  daily
• 8:30
  basis
• 8:31
  that
• 8:32
  he
• 8:32
  kind
• 8:32
  of
• 8:33
  takes
• 8:33
  all
• 8:33
  of
• 8:34
  the
• 8:34
  pressure
• 8:34
  away
• 8:34
  from
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  players.
• 8:35
  Right.
• 8:35
  He
• 8:36
  focuses
• 8:36
  on
• 8:38
  processes
• 8:38
  and
• 8:39
  stuff
• 8:39
  like
• 8:39
  that
• 8:40
  and
• 8:40
  understands
• 8:41
  that
• 8:42
  this
• 8:42
  is
• 8:42
  a
• 8:42
  very
• 8:43
  difficult
• 8:43
  game
• 8:43
  to
• 8:44
  play
• 8:44
  and
• 8:44
  he
• 8:45
  has
• 8:45
  a
• 8:45
  lot
• 8:45
  of
• 8:46
  grace
• 8:47
  for
• 8:47
  the
• 8:47
  players
• 8:48
  when
• 8:48
  it
• 8:48
  comes
• 8:48
  to
• 8:49
  dealing
• 8:49
  with
• 8:49
  them.
• 8:50
  So
• 8:50
  that
• 8:50
  is
• 8:50
  definitely
• 8:50
  one
• 8:51
  thing
• 8:51
  I
• 8:51
  tried
• 8:51
  to
• 8:51
  take
• 8:52
  away
• 8:52
  from
• 8:52
  is,
• 8:53
  look,
• 8:53
  hey,
• 8:53
  always
• 8:53
  protect
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  players.
• 8:55
  Make
• 8:55
  sure
• 8:55
  they
• 8:56
  know
• 8:56
  that
• 8:56
  you
• 8:56
  understand
• 8:57
  their
• 8:57
  frustrations
• 8:58
  because
• 8:58
  this
• 8:58
  is
• 8:58
  a
• 8:59
  difficult
• 8:59
  game.
• 9:00
  And
• 9:00
  that's
• 9:00
  probably
• 9:01
  one
• 9:01
  of
• 9:01
  the
• 9:01
  things
• 9:01
  that
• 9:01
  he
• 9:02
  did
• 9:02
  the
• 9:02
  most.
• 9:02
  On
• 9:03
  top
• 9:03
  of
• 9:03
  that,
• 9:03
  he's
• 9:04
  one
• 9:04
  of
• 9:04
  the
• 9:04
  most
• 9:05
  giving
• 9:06
  people
• 9:06
  that
• 9:07
  you'll
• 9:07
  ever
• 9:07
  be
• 9:07
  around.
• 9:08
  Right?
• 9:08
  He
• 9:08
  really
• 9:08
  took
• 9:09
  care
• 9:09
  of
• 9:09
  the
• 9:09
  coaching
• 9:09
  staff
• 9:10
  and
• 9:12
  really
• 9:12
  helped
• 9:13
  educate
• 9:13
  us
• 9:13
  on
• 9:14
  baseball
• 9:14
  in
• 9:14
  general.
• 9:16
  It
• 9:16
  wasn't
• 9:16
  just,
• 9:17
  okay,
• 9:17
  you
• 9:17
  guys
• 9:18
  do
• 9:18
  this
• 9:18
  and
• 9:18
  that.
• 9:19
  He
• 9:19
  really
• 9:20
  collaborated
• 9:21
  with
• 9:21
  everybody
• 9:22
  on
• 9:22
  the
• 9:22
  staff
• 9:22
  and
• 9:23
  we
• 9:23
  would
• 9:23
  pick
• 9:23
  his
• 9:24
  brain.
• 9:25
  His
• 9:26
  knowledge
• 9:26
  of
• 9:26
  the
• 9:27
  game
• 9:27
  is
• 9:28
  next
• 9:28
  to
• 9:28
  no
• 9:28
  one.
• 9:29
  So
• 9:30
  he's
• 9:30
  just
• 9:30
  all
• 9:31
  around
• 9:32
  amazing
• 9:33
  leader
• 9:33
  and
• 9:35
  really
• 9:35
  laid
• 9:36
  back,
• 9:36
  you
• 9:36
  know,
• 9:37
  and
• 9:37
  I
• 9:37
  think
• 9:37
  those
• 9:39
  traits
• 9:39
  and
• 9:40
  those
• 9:40
  positive
• 9:40
  traits
• 9:41
  that
• 9:41
  he
• 9:41
  had,
• 9:42
  you
• 9:42
  know,
• 9:43
  really
• 9:43
  kept
• 9:43
  you
• 9:43
  from
• 9:44
  going
• 9:44
  into
• 9:44
  these
• 9:45
  negative,
• 9:46
  you
• 9:46
  know,
• 9:46
  spirals
• 9:47
  that
• 9:47
  you
• 9:47
  see
• 9:48
  teams
• 9:48
  go
• 9:49
  in
• 9:49
  because,
• 9:50
  you
• 9:50
  know,
• 9:50
  it
• 9:51
  can
• 9:51
  get
• 9:51
  a
• 9:51
  little
• 9:51
  hairy
• 9:52
  out
• 9:52
  there
• 9:52
  when
• 9:52
  things
• 9:53
  aren't
• 9:53
  going
• 9:53
  your
• 9:54
  way.
• 9:54
  And
• 9:54
  then,
• 9:54
  you
• 9:55
  know,
• 9:55
  guys
• 9:55
  start
• 9:56
  kind
• 9:56
  of,
• 9:56
  you
• 9:56
  know,
• 9:57
  clubhouse,
• 9:57
  you
• 9:57
  kind
• 9:57
  of
• 9:57
  lose
• 9:58
  them
• 9:58
  a
• 9:58
  little
• 9:58
  bit
• 9:58
  and
• 9:59
  they
• 9:59
  start,
• 9:59
  you
• 9:59
  know,
• 10:00
  bickering
• 10:00
  at
• 10:01
  each
• 10:01
  other.
• 10:01
  But
• 10:02
  he
• 10:02
  really
• 10:02
  kept
• 10:02
  everything
• 10:03
  positive
• 10:04
  and
• 10:04
  laid
• 10:05
  back
• 10:05
  and
• 10:05
  stress
• 10:06
  free.
• 10:07
  So,
• 10:07
  Mickey,
• 10:08
  you
• 10:09
  started
• 10:09
  the
• 10:09
  2018
• 10:10
  season
• 10:10
  with
• 10:10
  the
• 10:11
  Mets.
• 10:11
  Can
• 10:11
  you
• 10:11
  talk
• 10:11
  a
• 10:12
  little

• 10:12
  it
• 10:12
  was
• 10:12
  like
• 10:13
  in
• 10:13
  the
• 10:13
  beginning?
• 10:13
  Because
• 10:13
  the
• 10:14
  Mets
• 10:14
  did
• 10:14
  start
• 10:14
  out
• 10:15
  111
• 10:16
  that
• 10:16
  year.
• 10:16
  You
• 10:16
  got
• 10:17
  rosters
• 10:17
  of
• 10:17
  like
• 10:17
  Kevin
• 10:18
  Ploecki
• 10:18
  and
• 10:20
  Austin
• 10:20
  Jackson

  and
• 10:21
  you
• 10:21
  guys
• 10:21

• 10:21
  out
• 10:22
  the
• 10:22
  season
• 10:23
  11
• 10:23
  1.
• 10:24
  What
• 10:24
  was
• 10:24
  it
• 10:25
  like
• 10:25
  in
• 10:25
  the
• 10:25
  beginning?
• 10:25
  You
• 10:26
  know,
• 10:26
  taking
• 10:26
  over
• 10:27
  for
• 10:27
  Terry
• 10:27
  Collins
• 10:28
  and
• 10:28
  leading
• 10:29
  that
• 10:29
  team
• 10:29
  to
• 10:29
  a
• 10:29
  good
• 10:30
  start.
• 10:31
  Oh,
• 10:31
  it
• 10:31
  was
• 10:31
  really
• 10:32
  fun.
• 10:32
  You
• 10:32
  know,
• 10:32
  obviously
• 10:33

• 10:33
  first
• 10:33
  spring
• 10:34
  training
• 10:34
  as
• 10:34
  a
• 10:35
  manager,
• 10:35
  and
• 10:35
  my
• 10:36
  goal
• 10:36
  was
• 10:36
  to

  note.

  You

  I
• 10:41
  think
• 10:42
  that
• 10:42
  manager's
• 10:43
  huge
• 10:43
  responsibility
• 10:45
  during

  entire
• 10:47
  baseball
• 10:48
  season

  is
• 10:49
  managing

  spring
• 10:50
  training

• 10:51
  right
• 10:51
  way
• 10:52
  so
• 10:52
  you
• 10:52
  can
• 10:53
  come
• 10:53
  into
• 10:53
  the
• 10:53
  season
• 10:54
  clicking
• 10:55
  on
• 10:55
  all
• 10:55
  cylinders,
• 10:56
  everybody's
• 10:57
  healthy,
• 10:57
  so
• 10:57
  you
• 10:57
  can
• 10:58
  get
• 10:58
  off
• 10:58
  to
• 10:58
  a
• 10:58
  nice
• 10:58
  start
• 10:59
  and
• 10:59
  kind
• 11:00
  of,
• 11:00
  you
• 11:00
  know,
• 11:00

  it
• 11:00
  over
• 11:00
  to
• 11:01
  the
• 11:01
  players
• 11:01
  as
• 11:01
  the
• 11:02
  season
• 11:02
  goes
• 11:02
  on.
• 11:03
  So,
• 11:03
  you

  the

  start

• 11:06
  years
• 11:06
  I
• 11:06
  was
• 11:06
  there,
• 11:07
  but
• 11:08
  I
• 11:08
  really,
• 11:09
  really
• 11:09
  enjoyed
• 11:10
  that
• 11:10
  111
• 11:11
  start.
• 11:11
  Obviously,
• 11:11
  it
• 11:11
  was
• 11:12
  very
• 11:12
  exciting.
• 11:12
  You
• 11:12
  know,
• 11:13
  baseball
• 11:14
  in
• 11:14
  New
• 11:14
  York
• 11:14
  is
• 11:15
  like
• 11:15
  playoff
• 11:15
  baseball
• 11:16
  in
• 11:16
  Cleveland
• 11:16
  on
• 11:17
  a
• 11:17
  daily
• 11:17
  basis.
• 11:18
  So
• 11:18
  there's
• 11:19
  no
• 11:19
  better
• 11:19
  place
• 11:19
  to
• 11:20
  coach
• 11:20
  or
• 11:20
  manage
• 11:21
  or
• 11:22
  be
• 11:22
  around
• 11:22
  baseball
• 11:23
  than
• 11:23
  in
• 11:24
  New
• 11:24
  York.
• 11:24
  You
• 11:24
  know,
• 11:24
  obviously
• 11:25
  there's
• 11:25
  pressure
• 11:26
  to
• 11:26
  win
• 11:27
  on
• 11:27
  a
• 11:27
  nightly
• 11:28
  basis,
• 11:28
  which
• 11:28
  is
• 11:29
  something
• 11:29
  that
• 11:30
  you
• 11:30
  always
• 11:30
  want
• 11:31
  to
• 11:31
  be
• 11:31
  there.
• 11:32
  But
• 11:32
  it
• 11:32
  is
• 11:32
  the
• 11:33
  most
• 11:33
  Electric
• 11:34
  playoff
• 11:34
  atmosphere

  even

  early
• 12:03
  in

  the

  season,
• 12:04
  it

  Each

• 12:05
  there
• 12:06
  at

  and
• 12:08
  the

  excitement
• 12:09
  was
• 12:10
  palpable.
• 12:11
  When

  you

  were
• 12:12
  in
• 12:13
  the

  a

  you

  know,

  obviously
• 12:18
  you
• 12:18
  spent
• 12:19
  a
• 12:19
  lot
• 12:19
  of
• 12:19
  time
• 12:20
  in

  Was

  your

  ultimate
• 12:24
  goal
• 12:24
  to

  manager?
• 12:26
  Or
• 12:26
  was
• 12:26
  it
• 12:26
  something
• 12:27
  where
• 12:27
  you
• 12:28
  just.
• 12:28
  You

  tremendous

  move
• 12:40
  up,
• 12:40
  or
• 12:41
  was

  something
• 12:41
  that

  just
• 12:42
  kind
• 12:42
  of
• 12:42
  happened
• 12:42
  organically?
• 12:44
  Yeah,
• 12:45
  I
• 12:45
  love
• 12:45
  being
• 12:45
  a
• 12:45
  pitching
• 12:46
  coach,
• 12:46
  but
• 12:46
  I
• 12:47
  first
• 12:48
  and
• 12:48
  foremost
• 12:48
  love
• 12:49
  leadership.
• 12:49
  Right.
• 12:50
  That
• 12:50
  is
• 12:50
  something
• 12:50
  I'm
• 12:51
  very
• 12:51
  passionate
• 12:51
  about.
• 12:52
  I
• 12:52
  study
• 12:53
  about
• 12:53
  it,
• 12:53
  I
• 12:54
  read
• 12:54
  about
• 12:54
  it
• 12:54
  as
• 12:54
  much
• 12:55
  as
• 12:55
  I
• 12:55
  can,
• 12:56
  and
• 12:56
  I
• 12:56
  always
• 12:57
  wanted
• 12:57
  to
• 12:57
  be
• 12:57
  in
• 12:57
  a
• 12:58
  leadership
• 12:58
  role
• 12:58
  of
• 12:59
  some
• 12:59
  sort.
• 12:59
  And,
• 13:00
  you
• 13:00
  know,
• 13:00
  when
• 13:00
  you're
• 13:01
  a
• 13:01
  pitching
• 13:01
  coach,
• 13:01
  you're
• 13:01
  leading
• 13:02
  12,
• 13:02
  12
• 13:03
  pitchers.
• 13:03
  When
• 13:03
  you're
• 13:04
  a
• 13:04
  manager,
• 13:04
  you're
• 13:05
  leading
• 13:05
  basically
• 13:06
  the,
• 13:07
  you
• 13:07
  know,
• 13:07
  organization
• 13:08
  from

  on
• 13:09
  down
• 13:10
  from
• 13:10
  the
• 13:11
  gm.
• 13:11
  So,
• 13:12
  you
• 13:13
  know,
• 13:13
  that
• 13:13
  that
• 13:13
  is
• 13:13
  a
• 13:14
  goal
• 13:14
  I
• 13:14
  had
• 13:14
  for
• 13:15
  sure
• 13:15
  even
• 13:15
  early
• 13:16
  on.
• 13:16
  You
• 13:17
  know,
• 13:17
  I,
• 13:17
  I
• 13:18
  obviously
• 13:19
  knew
• 13:19
  going
• 13:19
  in
• 13:20
  there
• 13:20
  wasn't
• 13:20
  many
• 13:20
  pitching
• 13:21
  guys
• 13:22
  to
• 13:22
  become
• 13:23
  managers
• 13:23
  in
• 13:23
  the
• 13:23
  history
• 13:24
  of
• 13:24
  baseball.
• 13:25
  But
• 13:26
  you
• 13:26
  know,
• 13:26
  it
• 13:26
  was
• 13:26
  a
• 13:26
  lofty
• 13:27
  goal,
• 13:27
  but
• 13:27
  it
• 13:27
  was
• 13:27
  something
• 13:28
  that
• 13:28
  I
• 13:28
  really
• 13:30
  wanted
• 13:30
  to
• 13:30
  do.
• 13:30
  And
• 13:30
  I
• 13:31
  think
• 13:31
  my
• 13:31
  last
• 13:31
  two
• 13:32
  years
• 13:32
  as
• 13:32
  being
• 13:33
  a
• 13:33
  pitching
• 13:33
  coach
• 13:33
  in
• 13:34
  Cleveland,
• 13:34
  I
• 13:34
  really
• 13:34
  started
• 13:35
  to
• 13:36
  consider
• 13:37
  it
• 13:37
  being
• 13:38
  a
• 13:38
  huge
• 13:38
  possibility.
• 13:39
  So
• 13:39
  I
• 13:39
  studied
• 13:40
  even
• 13:40
  more,
• 13:41
  you
• 13:41
  know,
• 13:41
  about
• 13:42
  all
• 13:42
  facets
• 13:43
  of
• 13:43
  the
• 13:43
  game
• 13:43
  and
• 13:44
  started
• 13:44
  to
• 13:45
  really
• 13:45
  research
• 13:46
  the
• 13:46
  analytics
• 13:47
  and
• 13:47
  kind
• 13:47
  of
• 13:47
  dive
• 13:48
  deep
• 13:48
  into
• 13:48
  that
• 13:49
  type
• 13:49
  stuff.
• 13:50
  So,
• 13:51
  you
• 13:51
  know,
• 13:51
  it's
• 13:51
  something
• 13:51
  that
• 13:52
  I
• 13:52
  had
• 13:53
  a
• 13:53
  lot
• 13:53
  of
• 13:53
  passion
• 13:54
  for
• 13:54
  leadership
• 13:55
  and
• 13:55
  something
• 13:56
  that
• 13:56
  just
• 13:56
  kind
• 13:56
  of,
• 13:57
  you
• 13:58
  know,
• 13:58
  transpired
• 13:59
  over
• 14:00
  some
• 14:00
  pretty
• 14:01
  quality
• 14:01
  seasons
• 14:02
  there
• 14:02
  in
• 14:03
  Cleveland,
• 14:03
  leading
• 14:04
  12
• 14:04
  pitchers.
• 14:06
  So,
• 14:06
  Mickey,
• 14:06
  here
• 14:07
  in
• 14:07
  New
• 14:08
  York,
• 14:08
  the
• 14:08
  Mets
• 14:08
  have
• 14:09
  now
• 14:09
  gone
• 14:09
  on
• 14:09
  a
• 14:09
  streak
• 14:10
  of
• 14:10
  losing
• 14:11
  seven

  some
• 14:16
  odd
• 14:16
  games

  over.500.
• 14:18
  And

  have
• 14:18
  now
• 14:19
  come

  down

  half

  You

  in

  2018,

  How

  handled
• 14:29
  in,
• 14:30
  in
• 14:30
  that
• 14:31
  time
• 14:31
  and
• 14:32
  what
• 14:32
  is
• 14:33
  a
• 14:33
  manager's
• 14:33
  role
• 14:34
  in
• 14:34
  that
• 14:34
  situation
• 14:35
  when
• 14:35
  the
• 14:35
  team
• 14:35
  goes
• 14:36
  into
• 14:36
  a
• 14:37
  spell
• 14:38
  where
• 14:38
  it's
• 14:38
  hard

  to

  sure
• 14:46
  a

  lot
• 14:46
  of

  people
• 14:47
  would

  agree

  in
• 14:48
  New
• 14:48
  York,
• 14:48
  but
• 14:49
  you
• 14:49
  have
• 14:49
  to
• 14:49
  stay
• 14:49
  positive,
• 14:50
  right?
• 14:50
  You,
• 14:50
  you
• 14:51
  have
• 14:51
  to
• 14:51
  sit
• 14:51
  up
• 14:51
  there
• 14:52
  in
• 14:52
  front
• 14:52
  of
• 14:52
  the
• 14:52
  media,
• 14:53
  pick
• 14:53
  up
• 14:53
  the
• 14:54
  good
• 14:54
  things
• 14:54
  that
• 14:54
  are
• 14:54
  going
• 14:55
  on
• 14:55
  because
• 14:55
  baseball
• 14:56
  is
• 14:56
  a
• 14:56
  game
• 14:57
  of
• 14:57
  streaks.
• 14:58
  In
• 14:58
  2017,
• 14:59
  when
• 15:00
  I
• 15:00
  was
• 15:00
  with
• 15:00
  the
• 15:01
  Cleveland
• 15:01
  Indians,
• 15:02
  we
• 15:02
  won
• 15:02
  22
• 15:03
  games
• 15:03
  in
• 15:03
  a
• 15:03
  row.
• 15:03
  That
• 15:04
  was
• 15:04
  unbelievable.
• 15:05
  I
• 15:05
  think
• 15:05
  the
• 15:06
  rest
• 15:06
  of
• 15:06
  the
• 15:06
  season
• 15:07
  we
• 15:07
  were
• 15:07
  two
• 15:08
  games
• 15:08
  below.500.
• 15:10
  Right.
• 15:11
  So
• 15:11
  without
• 15:12
  that
• 15:12
  22
• 15:12
  game
• 15:12
  win
• 15:13
  streak
• 15:13
  or
• 15:13
  whatever
• 15:14
  it
• 15:14
  was,
• 15:15
  or
• 15:15
  however
• 15:15
  many
• 15:15
  games
• 15:16
  above.500
• 15:17
  were,
• 15:17
  we
• 15:17
  weren't
• 15:18
  going
• 15:18
  to
• 15:18
  be
• 15:18
  there.
• 15:18
  Right.
• 15:19
  So
• 15:19
  baseball
• 15:20
  is
• 15:20
  a
• 15:20
  game
• 15:20
  of
• 15:20
  streaks.
• 15:20
  You
• 15:21
  have
• 15:21
  to
• 15:21
  understand
• 15:21
  that
• 15:22
  you
• 15:22
  might
• 15:22
  lose
• 15:22
  7
• 15:23
  or
• 15:23
  9
• 15:23
  or
• 15:24
  11
• 15:24
  of
• 15:24
  12.
• 15:24
  Well
• 15:25
  at
• 15:25
  some
• 15:25
  point.
• 15:26
  But
• 15:26
  hey,
• 15:27
  the
• 15:27
  Mets
• 15:27
  are
• 15:28
  still
• 15:28
  in
• 15:28
  it
• 15:28
  and
• 15:28
  hopefully
• 15:29
  the
• 15:29
  managers
• 15:30
  in
• 15:30
  there
• 15:30
  saying
• 15:30
  the
• 15:30
  same
• 15:31
  thing.
• 15:31
  Hey,
• 15:31
  we're
• 15:32
  still
• 15:32
  in
• 15:32
  it.
• 15:32
  Guys.
• 15:33
  I
• 15:33
  know
• 15:33
  this
• 15:33
  is
• 15:33
  a
• 15:33
  tough
• 15:34
  stretch.
• 15:34
  Let's
• 15:34
  keep
• 15:34
  our
• 15:35
  heads
• 15:35
  up.
• 15:35
  We
• 15:35
  have
• 15:36
  players
• 15:36
  to
• 15:36
  be
• 15:36
  able
• 15:36
  to
• 15:37
  do
• 15:37
  this.
• 15:37
  You
• 15:37
  know,
• 15:38
  we
• 15:38
  got
• 15:38
  to
• 15:38
  obviously
• 15:39
  stay
• 15:39
  healthy
• 15:39
  and
• 15:40
  throw
• 15:40
  strikes.
• 15:41
  You
• 15:41
  know,
• 15:41
  I
• 15:41
  think
• 15:42
  one
• 15:42
  of
• 15:42
  the
• 15:42
  things
• 15:42
  that
• 15:42
  might
• 15:43
  have
• 15:43
  haunted
• 15:43
  Nets
• 15:44
  to
• 15:44
  this
• 15:45
  point
• 15:46
  is
• 15:46
  they're
• 15:46
  based
• 15:46
  on
• 15:47
  balls.
• 15:47
  They
• 15:47
  walk
• 15:47
  a
• 15:48
  lot
• 15:48
  of
• 15:48
  guys
• 15:48
  and
• 15:48
  they
• 15:48
  don't
• 15:49
  strike
• 15:49
  a
• 15:49
  lot
• 15:49
  of
• 15:49
  guys
• 15:49
  out.
• 15:51
  You
• 15:51
  know,
• 15:51
  it's
• 15:51
  kind
• 15:51
  of
• 15:52
  mediocre,
• 15:54
  kind
• 15:54
  of
• 15:54
  across
• 15:55
  the
• 15:55
  board.
• 15:55
  When
• 15:56
  you're
• 15:56
  looking
• 15:56
  at
• 15:56
  their
• 15:56
  numbers,
• 15:57
  you
• 15:57
  know,
• 15:57
  as
• 15:57
  far
• 15:58
  as
• 15:58
  batting
• 15:59
  average,
• 15:59
  run
• 15:59
  score,
• 16:00
  they're
• 16:00
  just,
• 16:00
  you
• 16:01
  know,
• 16:01
  they
• 16:01
  kind
• 16:01
  of
• 16:01
  hang
• 16:01
  around
• 16:02
  the
• 16:02
  middle
• 16:02
  of
• 16:02
  the
• 16:02
  pack.
• 16:03
  But
• 16:03
  where
• 16:03
  they're
• 16:04
  really
• 16:04
  poor
• 16:04
  at,
• 16:04
  I
• 16:05
  think
• 16:05
  they're
• 16:05
  27th
• 16:06
  in
• 16:06
  baseball
• 16:06
  is
• 16:06
  walking
• 16:07
  guys
• 16:08
  and
• 16:08
  then
• 16:08
  they're
• 16:08
  not
• 16:08
  striking
• 16:09
  a
• 16:09
  ton
• 16:09
  of
• 16:09
  guys
• 16:10
  out.
• 16:10
  You
• 16:10
  know,
• 16:10
  if
• 16:10
  you're
• 16:10
  going
• 16:10
  to
• 16:11
  be
• 16:11
  27th
• 16:12
  and
• 16:12
  walks,
• 16:13
  you
• 16:13
  better
• 16:13
  be
• 16:13
  first
• 16:13
  or
• 16:14
  second
• 16:14
  or
• 16:14
  third
• 16:15
  strikeout.
• 16:15
  Yeah.
• 16:16
  To
• 16:16
  kind
• 16:16
  of
• 16:16
  counter,
• 16:17
  counteract
• 16:18
  that.
• 16:18
  So,
• 16:18
  you
• 16:19
  know,
• 16:19
  they
• 16:19
  haven't
• 16:19
  given
• 16:20
  up
• 16:20
  a
• 16:20
  ton
• 16:20
  of
• 16:20
  runs.
• 16:21
  Their
• 16:21
  ERA
• 16:21
  is
• 16:21
  not
• 16:22
  that
• 16:22
  high.
• 16:23
  They're,
• 16:23
  they're
• 16:25
  on
• 16:26
  base
• 16:26
  percentage
• 16:27
  and
• 16:27
  stuff
• 16:27
  is
• 16:28
  just
• 16:28
  mediocre.
• 16:29
  The
• 16:29
  one
• 16:29
  thing
• 16:29
  I
• 16:30
  did,
• 16:30
  did
• 16:30
  look
• 16:31
  into
• 16:32
  their
• 16:32
  batting.
• 16:32
  You
• 16:33
  know,
• 16:33
  they're,
• 16:33
  they're,
• 16:34
  they're
• 16:35
  very
• 16:35
  unlucky
• 16:36
  at
• 16:36
  the
• 16:36
  plate.
• 16:37
  So
• 16:37
  I
• 16:37
  think,
• 16:38
  you
• 16:39
  know.
• 16:39
  Yeah,
• 16:40
  right.
• 16:40
  Their
• 16:40
  hard
• 16:40
  hit
• 16:41
  balls
• 16:41
  are
• 16:41
  there.
• 16:42
  Their
• 16:42
  batting
• 16:42
  average
• 16:43
  on
• 16:43
  balls
• 16:44
  and
• 16:44
  play
• 16:44
  is
• 16:45
  very
• 16:45
  low.
• 16:45
  I
• 16:46
  think
• 16:46
  they're
• 16:46
  down
• 16:47
  maybe
• 16:47
  27th
• 16:48
  or
• 16:48
  something,
• 16:48
  hitting
• 16:49
  about
• 16:49
  275.
• 16:50
  And
• 16:50
  that
• 16:50
  usually
• 16:51
  kind
• 16:51
  of
• 16:52
  works
• 16:52
  its
• 16:52
  way
• 16:52
  up
• 16:53
  to
• 16:53
  the.300
• 16:53
  mark.
• 16:54
  And
• 16:54
  if
• 16:54
  that
• 16:54
  happens,
• 16:55
  you
• 16:55
  know,
• 16:55
  some
• 16:55
  of
• 16:55
  those,
• 16:56
  you
• 16:56
  know,
• 16:56
  games
• 16:57
  kind
• 16:57
  of
• 16:57
  turn
• 16:57
  the
• 16:58
  other
• 16:58
  way,
• 16:58
  but,
• 16:59
  you
• 16:59
  know,
• 17:00
  it's
• 17:00
  getting
• 17:00
  late
• 17:00
  in
• 17:00
  the
• 17:00
  season,
• 17:01
  so
• 17:01
  you
• 17:01
  don't
• 17:01
  know
• 17:01
  that
• 17:02
  it's
• 17:02
  necessarily
• 17:02
  going
• 17:02
  to
• 17:03
  turn
• 17:03
  around
• 17:03
  at
• 17:03
  this
• 17:03
  point.
• 17:04
  But
• 17:04
  the
• 17:04
  manager's
• 17:05
  got
• 17:05
  to
• 17:05
  be
• 17:05
  positive.
• 17:06
  You
• 17:06
  know,
• 17:06
  the
• 17:06
  players
• 17:07
  have
• 17:07
  to
• 17:08
  see
• 17:08
  a
• 17:08
  manager
• 17:09
  that's
• 17:09
  positive
• 17:09
  and
• 17:09
  not
• 17:10
  panicking
• 17:10
  because
• 17:11
  if
• 17:11
  the
• 17:11
  manager
• 17:12
  panics,
• 17:12
  then
• 17:12
  the
• 17:13
  players
• 17:13
  are
• 17:13
  going
• 17:13
  to
• 17:13
  panic.
• 17:13
  You
• 17:14
  know,
• 17:14
  you're
• 17:14
  the
• 17:14
  leader
• 17:14
  out
• 17:15
  there,
• 17:15
  you
• 17:15
  know,
• 17:16
  and
• 17:17
  no
• 17:17
  matter
• 17:17
  how
• 17:17
  hard
• 17:18
  it
• 17:18
  is
• 17:18
  for
• 17:18
  maybe
• 17:19
  fans
• 17:19
  or
• 17:19
  somebody
• 17:20
  else
• 17:20
  to
• 17:20
  understand
• 17:21
  the
• 17:22
  positivity
• 17:22
  part,
• 17:23
  when
• 17:23
  things
• 17:23
  are
• 17:23
  going
• 17:24
  bad,
• 17:24
  you
• 17:25
  have
• 17:25
  to
• 17:25
  keep
• 17:25
  on
• 17:25
  doing
• 17:26
  it.
• 17:26
  You
• 17:26
  know,
• 17:26
  I
• 17:26
  think
• 17:27
  that's
• 17:27
  one
• 17:27
  thing
• 17:27
  I
• 17:28
  like
• 17:28
  about
• 17:28
  Aaron
• 17:28
  Boone
• 17:29
  over
• 17:29
  there
• 17:29
  with
• 17:29
  the
• 17:29
  Yankees.
• 17:30
  Obviously
• 17:31
  things
• 17:31
  aren't
• 17:31
  going
• 17:31
  their
• 17:31
  way
• 17:32
  this
• 17:32
  year,
• 17:32
  but
• 17:33
  in
• 17:33
  the
• 17:33
  past
• 17:33
  he's,
• 17:33
  he's
• 17:34
  always
• 17:34
  kept,
• 17:35
  you
• 17:35
  know,
• 17:35
  pretty
• 17:35
  upbeat
• 17:36
  locker
• 17:37
  room
• 17:37
  and
• 17:37
  it
• 17:38
  seems
• 17:38
  to
• 17:38
  work
• 17:38
  out
• 17:39
  pretty
• 17:39
  good
• 17:39
  for
• 17:39
  them.
• 17:39
  I
• 17:39
  know
• 17:39
  they
• 17:40
  haven't
• 17:40
  won
• 17:40
  a
• 17:40
  World
• 17:40
  Series,
• 17:41
  which
• 17:41
  is
• 17:42
  everybody's
• 17:42
  goal,
• 17:43
  but,
• 17:43
  you
• 17:43
  know,
• 17:44
  that
• 17:44
  is
• 17:45
  not
• 17:45
  an
• 17:45
  easy
• 17:45
  task,
• 17:46
  for
• 17:46
  sure.
• 17:47
  Yeah.
• 17:48
  And
• 17:48
  especially
• 17:49
  with
• 17:49
  the
• 17:49
  Yankee
• 17:50
  organization,
• 17:51
  any
• 17:52
  season
• 17:52
  that
• 17:52
  doesn't
• 17:52
  end
• 17:52
  in
• 17:53
  a
• 17:53
  World
• 17:53
  Series,
• 17:54
  it's
• 17:55
  a
• 17:55
  failure.
• 17:55
  Right.
• 17:56
  Which
• 17:56
  is
• 17:56
  such
• 17:57
  a
• 17:57
  shame.
• 17:59
  I
• 17:59
  wanted
• 18:00
  to
• 18:00
  ask
• 18:00
  you,
• 18:00
  Mickey,
• 18:00
  behind
• 18:01
  the
• 18:01
  scenes,
• 18:01
  you
• 18:01
  know,
• 18:01
  in
• 18:02
  the
• 18:02
  situations
• 18:02
  you're
• 18:03
  talking
• 18:03
  about,
• 18:03
  obviously
• 18:05
  being
• 18:05
  positive
• 18:06
  is,
• 18:07
  as
• 18:07
  you
• 18:07
  said,
• 18:07
  is
• 18:07
  just
• 18:08
  paramount.
• 18:09
  And,
• 18:09
  you
• 18:09
  know,
• 18:10
  fans
• 18:10
  and
• 18:10
  media
• 18:11
  maybe
• 18:11
  don't
• 18:11
  understand
• 18:12
  that
• 18:12
  because
• 18:12
  It's
• 18:13
  a
• 18:13
  team
• 18:13
  dynamic.
• 18:14
  But
• 18:14
  as
• 18:15
  a
• 18:15
  human
• 18:15
  being,
• 18:15
  as
• 18:16
  the
• 18:16
  leader
• 18:16
  of
• 18:16
  the
• 18:17
  team,
• 18:17
  when
• 18:17
  you're
• 18:17
  going
• 18:18
  through
• 18:18
  those
• 18:18
  kind
• 18:18
  of
• 18:19
  down
• 18:19
  times,
• 18:20
  is
• 18:20
  it
• 18:20
  something
• 18:21
  in
• 18:21
  professional
• 18:21
  sports,
• 18:22
  in
• 18:22
  a
• 18:22
  major
• 18:23
  league
• 18:23
  clubhouse
• 18:23
  where
• 18:24
  if
• 18:24
  a
• 18:24
  guy
• 18:24
  is
• 18:25
  maybe
• 18:26
  dogging
• 18:26
  it
• 18:26
  a
• 18:26
  little
• 18:26
  bit
• 18:26
  or
• 18:27
  is
• 18:27
  just
• 18:27
  kind
• 18:28
  of
• 18:28
  down,
• 18:28
  is
• 18:28
  it
• 18:28
  something
• 18:29
  where
• 18:30
  you
• 18:30
  can
• 18:30
  pull
• 18:30
  them
• 18:30
  aside
• 18:31
  and
• 18:31
  kind
• 18:31
  of
• 18:32
  get
• 18:32
  into
• 18:32
  them
• 18:32
  a
• 18:32
  little
• 18:33
  bit
• 18:33
  or
• 18:33
  is
• 18:34
  that
• 18:34
  just
• 18:34
  overrated
• 18:35
  and
• 18:35
  kind
• 18:35
  of
• 18:36
  like
• 18:37
  coach
• 18:37
  speak
• 18:37
  of
• 18:38
  people
• 18:38
  who
• 18:38
  aren't
• 18:39
  really
• 18:39
  in
• 18:39
  the
• 18:39
  game
• 18:39
  on
• 18:40
  the
• 18:40
  professional
• 18:40
  level?
• 18:42
  Oh
• 18:42
  no,
• 18:42
  no.
• 18:42
  I
• 18:43
  think
• 18:43
  that
• 18:43
  definitely
• 18:44
  has
• 18:44
  to
• 18:45
  be
• 18:45
  there.
• 18:45
  Right.
• 18:46
  You
• 18:46
  have
• 18:46
  to
• 18:46
  have
• 18:47
  the
• 18:47
  ability
• 18:47
  to
• 18:47
  pull
• 18:48
  a
• 18:48
  guy
• 18:48
  in
• 18:49
  and
• 18:49
  tell
• 18:49
  him
• 18:49
  to
• 18:49
  get
• 18:50
  after
• 18:50
  it.
• 18:51
  You
• 18:51
  know,
• 18:51
  obviously
• 18:52
  that's
• 18:52
  a
• 18:52
  manager's
• 18:53
  job
• 18:55
  on,
• 18:55
  on
• 18:55
  a,
• 18:56
  on
• 18:56
  a
• 18:56
  good
• 18:56
  team.
• 18:57
  Great.
• 18:57
  And
• 18:58
  I'm
• 18:58
  sure
• 18:58
  you
• 18:58
  guys
• 18:59
  have
• 18:59
  heard
• 18:59
  this
• 18:59
  quote
• 19:00
  before,
• 19:00
  right?
• 19:00
  Good
• 19:01
  teams,
• 19:01
  the
• 19:02
  coaches
• 19:03
  lead
• 19:03
  great
• 19:04
  teams
• 19:04
  and
• 19:05
  championship
• 19:05
  teams,
• 19:06
  the
• 19:06
  players
• 19:06
  lead.
• 19:07
  Yeah.
• 19:07
  So
• 19:07
  ideally
• 19:09
  you
• 19:09
  have
• 19:09
  a
• 19:10
  player
• 19:10
  in
• 19:10
  that
• 19:10
  clubhouse
• 19:11
  like
• 19:11
  David
• 19:12
  Wright
• 19:12
  or
• 19:12
  somebody
• 19:13
  who
• 19:13
  kind
• 19:13
  of
• 19:14
  steps
• 19:14
  in
• 19:14
  and
• 19:15
  kind
• 19:16
  of
• 19:16
  does
• 19:16
  that
• 19:17
  for
• 19:17
  you
• 19:17
  because
• 19:18
  every
• 19:19
  time,
• 19:19
  100%
• 19:20
  of
• 19:20
  the
• 19:20
  time,
• 19:22
  the
• 19:22
  players
• 19:23
  are
• 19:23
  going
• 19:23
  to
• 19:23
  respond
• 19:24
  better
• 19:24
  to
• 19:25
  their
• 19:25
  peers.
• 19:26
  You
• 19:26
  know,
• 19:26
  I
• 19:26
  had
• 19:26
  to
• 19:27
  get
• 19:27
  in
• 19:27
  some
• 19:27
  guys
• 19:27
  asses
• 19:28
  when
• 19:28
  I
• 19:28
  was
• 19:28
  there
• 19:28
  and
• 19:29
  you
• 19:29
  know,
• 19:29
  sometimes
• 19:30
  it
• 19:30
  doesn't
• 19:30
  end
• 19:30
  up
• 19:30
  great.
• 19:30
  They
• 19:31
  go
• 19:31
  in,
• 19:31
  they
• 19:31
  complain
• 19:32
  that
• 19:32
  I
• 19:32
  yelled
• 19:33
  at
• 19:33
  them
• 19:33
  or
• 19:33
  something
• 19:33
  to
• 19:34
  other
• 19:34
  players
• 19:35
  and
• 19:35
  then
• 19:35
  it
• 19:36
  just
• 19:36
  doesn't
• 19:36
  turn
• 19:36
  out
• 19:36
  great.
• 19:37
  But
• 19:37
  when
• 19:37
  you
• 19:37
  got
• 19:38
  the
• 19:38
  team
• 19:38
  and,
• 19:39
  and
• 19:39
  the
• 19:39
  players
• 19:39
  doing
• 19:40
  that
• 19:40
  in
• 19:40
  the
• 19:40
  locker
• 19:40
  room
• 19:41
  and
• 19:41
  kind
• 19:41
  of
• 19:41
  managing
• 19:42
  that
• 19:42
  locker
• 19:42
  room
• 19:42
  and
• 19:43
  making
• 19:43
  sure
• 19:43
  everybody's
• 19:43
  hustling
• 19:44
  and
• 19:45
  doing
• 19:45
  the
• 19:45
  things
• 19:45
  they
• 19:45
  can,
• 19:46
  then
• 19:47
  that's
• 19:47
  where
• 19:47
  you
• 19:47
  become
• 19:48
  that
• 19:48
  championship
• 19:49
  caliber
• 19:49
  team.
• 19:49
  And
• 19:50
  that's
• 19:50
  why
• 19:50
  it's
• 19:50
  so
• 19:51
  important
• 19:51
  when
• 19:52
  you're
• 19:52
  building
• 19:52
  a
• 19:52
  team
• 19:53
  to
• 19:53
  make
• 19:53
  sure
• 19:53
  you
• 19:54
  get
• 19:54
  the
• 19:54
  right
• 19:54
  players.
• 19:55
  And
• 19:55
  I
• 19:55
  thought
• 19:55
  we
• 19:56
  had
• 19:56
  that,
• 19:57
  you
• 19:57
  know,
• 19:58
  with
• 19:58
  the
• 19:58
  Mets
• 19:58
  when
• 19:58
  I
• 19:59
  was
• 19:59
  there
• 19:59
  and
• 19:59
  I
• 19:59
  thought
• 20:00
  we
• 20:00
  were
• 20:00
  on
• 20:00
  our
• 20:00
  way.
• 20:00
  You
• 20:01
  know,
• 20:01
  we
• 20:01
  went
• 20:01
  from
• 20:02
  what,
• 20:02
  70
• 20:02
  wins
• 20:03
  the
• 20:04
  year
• 20:04
  before
• 20:04
  I
• 20:04
  got
• 20:05
  there
• 20:05
  to
• 20:05
  77
• 20:06
  to
• 20:06
  86.
• 20:07
  And
• 20:08
  I
• 20:08
  could
• 20:08
  feel
• 20:08
  the
• 20:08
  young
• 20:09
  Alonzos
• 20:10
  and
• 20:10
  McNeil
• 20:11
  starting
• 20:11
  to
• 20:11
  really
• 20:11
  mesh
• 20:12
  and
• 20:12
  I
• 20:12
  was
• 20:13
  really
• 20:13
  looking
• 20:13
  forward
• 20:13
  to
• 20:14
  that
• 20:14
  third
• 20:14
  year
• 20:14
  to
• 20:15
  see
• 20:15
  if
• 20:15
  we
• 20:15
  could
• 20:15
  do
• 20:15
  something
• 20:15
  special.
• 20:16
  Unfortunately
• 20:17
  it
• 20:17
  wasn't
• 20:17
  in
• 20:17
  the
• 20:17
  cards
• 20:18
  for
• 20:18
  me,
• 20:18
  but
• 20:19
  I
• 20:19
  really
• 20:19
  enjoyed
• 20:20
  my
• 20:20
  time
• 20:20
  there
• 20:21
  as
• 20:21
  a
• 20:22
  leader
• 20:22
  in
• 20:22
  that
• 20:22
  clubhouse.
• 20:23
  Yeah,
• 20:24
  that
• 20:24
  brings
• 20:24
  up
• 20:24
  another
• 20:25
  great
• 20:25
  point
• 20:25
  that
• 20:25
  seems
• 20:26
  to
• 20:26
  be
• 20:26
  such
• 20:27
  a
• 20:27
  double
• 20:28
  edged
• 20:28
  sword
• 20:28
  with
• 20:28
  New
• 20:29
  York.
• 20:29
  It's
• 20:29
  great
• 20:29
  to
• 20:29
  be
• 20:30
  a
• 20:30
  manager.
• 20:30
  It's
• 20:30
  great
• 20:31
  on
• 20:31
  the
• 20:31
  biggest
• 20:32
  stage,
• 20:33
  if
• 20:33
  you're
• 20:34
  doing
• 20:34
  great,
• 20:34
  you're
• 20:34
  a
• 20:34
  hero.
• 20:35
  If
• 20:36
  you're
• 20:36
  treading
• 20:36
  water,
• 20:37
  unfortunately,
• 20:38
  just
• 20:38
  don't
• 20:38
  get
• 20:38
  the
• 20:39
  leash
• 20:39
  that
• 20:40
  I'M
• 20:40
  sure
• 20:40
  you
• 20:41
  know,
• 20:41
  that
• 20:41
  resume
• 20:42
  in
• 20:42
  practically
• 20:42
  any
• 20:43
  other
• 20:43
  baseball
• 20:43
  town,
• 20:45
  you're
• 20:45
  by
• 20:46
  far
• 20:46
  coming
• 20:46
  back,
• 20:47
  and
• 20:47
  that's
• 20:47
  a
• 20:47
  tough
• 20:48
  thing
• 20:48
  to
• 20:48
  deal
• 20:48
  with.
• 20:49
  Those
• 20:50
  two
• 20:50
  years,
• 20:51
  though,
• 20:51
  you
• 20:51
  brought
• 20:52
  up
• 20:52
  a
• 20:52
  couple
• 20:52
  of
• 20:52
  names.
• 20:53
  Was
• 20:54
  there
• 20:54
  someone
• 20:54
  developing?
• 20:55
  I
• 20:55
  know
• 20:55
  you
• 20:55
  said
• 20:55
  Alonzo
• 20:56
  and
• 20:57
  McNeil,
• 20:57
  but
• 20:57
  was
• 20:58
  there
• 20:58
  someone
• 20:58
  in
• 20:58
  the
• 20:59
  clubhouse
• 20:59
  that
• 20:59
  you
• 21:00
  could
• 21:00
  kind
• 21:00
  of
• 21:00
  count
• 21:00
  on
• 21:01
  at
• 21:01
  that
• 21:01
  time
• 21:01
  who
• 21:02
  was,
• 21:03
  you
• 21:03
  know,
• 21:03
  a
• 21:03
  solid
• 21:03
  presence,
• 21:04
  or
• 21:04
  was
• 21:04
  it
• 21:04
  just
• 21:04
  such
• 21:05
  a
• 21:05
  young
• 21:05
  group
• 21:06
  that
• 21:06
  you
• 21:06
  really
• 21:06
  needed.
• 21:07
  You
• 21:07
  needed
• 21:07
  as
• 21:07
  the
• 21:07
  manager
• 21:08
  to
• 21:08
  continue
• 21:08
  to
• 21:09
  develop
• 21:09
  those
• 21:09
  guys
• 21:10
  in
• 21:10
  the
• 21:10
  leadership?
• 21:11
  You
• 21:12
  know,
• 21:12
  I
• 21:12
  think
• 21:12
  we
• 21:12
  had
• 21:12
  some
• 21:13
  really
• 21:13
  great
• 21:13
  guys
• 21:13
  on
• 21:14
  that
• 21:14
  team.
• 21:14
  We
• 21:14
  had,
• 21:15
  you
• 21:15
  know,
• 21:15
  the
• 21:15
  Todd
• 21:15
  Fraziers
• 21:16
  and
• 21:16
  guys
• 21:17
  like
• 21:17
  that
• 21:17
  that
• 21:17
  were
• 21:18
  a
• 21:18
  little
• 21:18
  bit
• 21:18
  older,
• 21:18
  the
• 21:19
  Jay
• 21:19
  Bruces.
• 21:20
  I
• 21:20
  mean,
• 21:21
  I
• 21:21
  think
• 21:21
  the
• 21:22
  problem
• 21:23
  with
• 21:23
  that
• 21:23
  was,
• 21:24
  is
• 21:24
  at
• 21:24
  this
• 21:25
  stage
• 21:25
  in
• 21:25
  their
• 21:25
  career,
• 21:27
  it
• 21:27
  was
• 21:28
  maybe
• 21:28
  a
• 21:29
  little
• 21:29
  bit
• 21:29
  more
• 21:29
  difficult
• 21:31
  to
• 21:31
  do
• 21:32
  what
• 21:32
  we're
• 21:33
  talking
• 21:33
  about.
• 21:33
  You
• 21:34
  really
• 21:34
  want,
• 21:35
  you
• 21:35
  know,
• 21:35
  a
• 21:35
  Francisco
• 21:36
  Lindor
• 21:37
  in
• 21:37
  your
• 21:37
  locker
• 21:37
  room.
• 21:38
  That
• 21:38
  guy
• 21:38
  is
• 21:39
  one
• 21:39
  of
• 21:39
  the
• 21:39
  best
• 21:39
  guys
• 21:40
  I've
• 21:40
  ever
• 21:40
  been
• 21:40
  around
• 21:41
  when.
• 21:41
  When
• 21:41
  he
• 21:41
  was
• 21:41
  a
• 21:42
  rookie,
• 21:42
  he
• 21:42
  was
• 21:42
  leading
• 21:43
  our
• 21:43
  team
• 21:43
  in
• 21:43
  Cleveland.
• 21:44
  So,
• 21:45
  you
• 21:45
  know,
• 21:45
  we
• 21:45
  really
• 21:45
  need
• 21:46
  someone
• 21:46
  of
• 21:46
  that
• 21:46
  caliber,
• 21:47
  one
• 21:47
  of
• 21:47
  your

  better,
• 21:48
  better

• 21:50
  be
• 21:50
  able
• 21:51
  to
• 21:51
  step
• 21:52
  up.
• 21:52
  You
• 21:52
  know,
• 21:52
  you
• 21:53
  had
• 21:53
  David
• 21:53
  Wright
• 21:54
  when
• 21:54
  things
• 21:54
  were
• 21:54
  going
• 21:55
  well,
• 21:55
  when
• 21:56
  Terry
• 21:56
  was
• 21:56
  there.
• 21:57
  Well,
• 21:57
  I
• 21:57
  got
• 21:57
  to
• 21:57
  see
• 21:58
  quite
• 21:58
  a
• 21:58
  bit
• 21:58
  of
• 21:58
  David
• 21:59
  around
• 21:59
  the
• 21:59
  clubhouse,
• 22:00
  but
• 22:00
  he
• 22:00
  wasn't
• 22:00
  playing.
• 22:01
  So
• 22:01
  it
• 22:01
  was.
• 22:01
  It
• 22:01
  was
• 22:02
  kind
• 22:02
  of
• 22:02
  hard
• 22:02
  for
• 22:02
  him
• 22:02
  to
• 22:03
  really
• 22:03
  step
• 22:03
  into
• 22:03
  that
• 22:04
  role
• 22:04
  and
• 22:04
  embrace
• 22:05
  it
• 22:05
  like
• 22:05
  he
• 22:05
  had
• 22:05
  in
• 22:06
  the
• 22:06
  past.
• 22:07
  So
• 22:07
  you
• 22:07
  really,
• 22:08
  you
• 22:08
  know,
• 22:09

• 22:12
  there
• 22:12
  and
• 22:13
  be
• 22:13
  able
• 22:13
  to
• 22:13
  lead,
• 22:14
  in
• 22:14
  my
• 22:14
  opinion.
• 22:16
  Real
• 22:16
  quick.
• 22:16
  What?
• 22:17
  Just
• 22:18
  explain
• 22:19
  having
• 22:19
  Jacob

  deGrom
• 22:20
  go
• 22:20
  out
• 22:20
  on
• 22:20
  the
• 22:20
  mound
• 22:21
  every
• 22:21
  fifth
• 22:21
  day

  for

  you.

  What.

  was
• 22:22
  it

  like
• 22:23
  to.
• 22:23
  To
• 22:23
  just.
• 22:24
  I
• 22:24
  don't
• 22:24
  know
• 22:24
  how
• 22:24
  much
• 22:24
  you
• 22:25
  coached
• 22:25
  him
• 22:25
  up
• 22:25
  or,
• 22:26
  you
• 22:26
  know,
• 22:26
  the
• 22:26
  pitching
• 22:27
  staff
• 22:27
  did,
• 22:27
  but

  what
• 22:28
  was
• 22:28
  it
• 22:28
  like

  have
• 22:28
  him

  your
• 22:29
  staff?
• 22:30
  I
• 22:31
  mean,
• 22:31
  I
• 22:31
  don't
• 22:31
  think
• 22:31
  anybody
• 22:32
  needs
• 22:32
  to
• 22:32
  coach
• 22:32
  Jacob
• 22:33
  DeGrault.
• 22:33
  That
• 22:34
  guy
• 22:34
  is
• 22:34
  just
• 22:35
  an
• 22:35
  unbelievable
• 22:36
  talent
• 22:37
  when
• 22:37
  he
• 22:37
  comes
• 22:37
  onto
• 22:38
  the
• 22:38
  mound,
• 22:38
  and
• 22:39
  really
• 22:39
  just
• 22:39
  an
• 22:39
  unbelievable
• 22:40
  athlete
• 22:41
  all
• 22:41
  around.
• 22:41
  You

  watch
• 22:42
  him
• 22:42
  hit,
• 22:42
  you
• 22:43
  watch
• 22:43
  him
• 22:43
  out
• 22:44
  there
• 22:44
  running
• 22:44
  around,
• 22:44
  fielding
• 22:45
  ground
• 22:45
  balls
• 22:46
  before
• 22:46
  the
• 22:46
  game.
• 22:46
  The
• 22:47
  guy's
• 22:47
  an
• 22:47
  incredible
• 22:48
  athlete,
• 22:48
  and
• 22:48
  to
• 22:49
  be
• 22:49
  able
• 22:49
  to
• 22:49
  watch
• 22:49
  him
• 22:50
  pitch,
• 22:51
  you
• 22:51
  know,
• 22:51
  I
• 22:51
  was
• 22:51
  there
• 22:51
  for
• 22:52
  Corey
• 22:52
  Kluber's
• 22:53
  2
• 22:53
  Cy
• 22:53
  Youngs.
• 22:54
  I
• 22:54
  was
• 22:54
  there
• 22:54
  for
• 22:55
  Jacob
• 22:55
  deGrom's
• 22:56
  2
• 22:56
  Cy
• 22:56
  Youngs,
• 22:57
  and
• 22:59
  it's
• 22:59
  pretty
• 23:00
  amazing.
• 23:01
  You
• 23:01
  know,
• 23:01
  it
• 23:01
  was.
• 23:01
  It
• 23:02
  was
• 23:02
  nerve
• 23:02
  wracking
• 23:03
  for
• 23:03
  me
• 23:03
  as
• 23:03
  a
• 23:03
  manager.
• 23:04
  The
• 23:04
  one
• 23:05
  I'll
• 23:05
  never
• 23:05
  forget
• 23:05
  was
• 23:06
  we
• 23:06
  were
• 23:06
  in
• 23:06
  Philly
• 23:07
  and
• 23:08
  Jacob
• 23:08
  in
• 23:09
  the
• 23:09
  middle
• 23:09
  of
• 23:09
  his
• 23:10
  Cy
• 23:10
  Young
• 23:11
  run
• 23:12
  through
• 23:12
  44
• 23:13
  pitches
• 23:13
  in
• 23:13
  the
• 23:13
  first
• 23:14
  inning
• 23:14
  and
• 23:14
  didn't
• 23:14
  give
• 23:15
  up
• 23:15
  a
• 23:15
  run.
• 23:16
  Wow.
• 23:17
  I've
• 23:17
  never
• 23:17
  seen,
• 23:18
  I've
• 23:18
  never
• 23:18
  even
• 23:18
  heard
• 23:19
  of
• 23:19
  anything
• 23:19
  like
• 23:19
  that.
• 23:20
  And
• 23:20
  I
• 23:20
  was
• 23:20
  like,
• 23:20
  oh
• 23:20
  great.
• 23:21
  Yeah,
• 23:21
  he
• 23:21
  does.
• 23:21
  The
• 23:22
  best
• 23:22
  pitcher
• 23:22
  on
• 23:22
  the
• 23:22
  planet
• 23:23
  does
• 23:23
  this
• 23:23
  when
• 23:24
  I'm
• 23:24
  managing
• 23:24
  him.
• 23:24
  And
• 23:25
  I
• 23:25
  got
• 23:25
  to
• 23:25
  make
• 23:25
  the
• 23:25
  decision
• 23:25
  whether
• 23:26
  or
• 23:26
  not
• 23:26
  the
• 23:26
  send
• 23:27
  him
• 23:27
  back
• 23:27
  out.
• 23:29
  But
• 23:29
  I
• 23:29
  think
• 23:29
  we
• 23:29
  made
• 23:30
  the
• 23:30
  right
• 23:30
  decision.
• 23:31
  We
• 23:32
  pulled
• 23:32
  him
• 23:32
  out
• 23:32
  of
• 23:32
  the
• 23:32
  game
• 23:33
  after,
• 23:34
  you
• 23:34
  know,
• 23:34
  one
• 23:34
  inning
• 23:35
  and
• 23:35
  he
• 23:35
  still
• 23:35
  ended
• 23:36
  up
• 23:36
  winning
• 23:36
  a
• 23:36
  Cy
• 23:36
  Young.
• 23:37
  So
• 23:38
  you
• 23:38
  know,
• 23:38
  I
• 23:38
  didn't,
• 23:38
  I
• 23:39
  was
• 23:39
  worried
• 23:39
  about
• 23:39
  that
• 23:40
  one
• 23:41
  thing
• 23:41
  really.
• 23:42
  But
• 23:42
  when
• 23:43
  it
• 23:43
  comes
• 23:43
  down
• 23:43
  to
• 23:44
  it,
• 23:44
  no
• 23:44
  matter
• 23:44
  what
• 23:45
  accolades
• 23:45
  are
• 23:45
  on
• 23:45
  the
• 23:46
  line,
• 23:46
  you
• 23:46
  have
• 23:46
  to
• 23:46
  take
• 23:46
  care
• 23:47
  of
• 23:47
  guys
• 23:47
  health
• 23:48
  or
• 23:48
  then
• 23:48
  your
• 23:48
  team
• 23:49
  has
• 23:49
  no
• 23:49
  chance
• 23:49
  moving
• 23:50
  forward.
• 23:50
  So
• 23:50
  we
• 23:50
  took
• 23:51
  him
• 23:51
  out
• 23:51
  and
• 23:52
  he
• 23:52
  ended
• 23:52
  up
• 23:53
  finishing
• 23:53
  with
• 23:53
  a
• 23:54
  Cy
• 23:54
  Young.
• 23:54
  And
• 23:55
  it
• 23:55
  was
• 23:55
  awesome.
• 23:55
  But
• 23:56
  that
• 23:56
  guy
• 23:57
  is
• 23:57
  electric.
• 23:58
  I
• 23:58
  mean
• 23:58
  I
• 23:58
  can't
• 23:59
  even.
• 23:59
  I
• 24:00
  think
• 24:00
  that.
• 24:00
  And
• 24:01
  I
• 24:01
  have
• 24:01
  this
• 24:01
  theory
• 24:02
  and
• 24:02
  I
• 24:02
  might
• 24:02
  be
• 24:02
  totally
• 24:03
  wrong,
• 24:04
  but
• 24:04
  I
• 24:04
  really
• 24:05
  truly
• 24:05
  think
• 24:05
  this.
• 24:06
  The
• 24:06
  reason
• 24:06
  we
• 24:06
  couldn't
• 24:07
  score
• 24:07
  runs
• 24:07
  for
• 24:07
  Jacob
• 24:08
  deGrom
• 24:08
  is
• 24:09
  because
• 24:09
  all
• 24:09
  of
• 24:09
  our
• 24:10
  hitters
• 24:10
  are
• 24:10
  out
• 24:10
  on
• 24:10
  the
• 24:11
  field
• 24:11
  watching
• 24:12
  Jacob
• 24:12
  deGrom
• 24:15
  make
• 24:15
  hitting
• 24:16
  look
• 24:16
  like
• 24:16
  the
• 24:16
  most
• 24:17
  difficult
• 24:17
  thing
• 24:17
  in
• 24:17
  the
• 24:18
  world,
• 24:18
  which
• 24:18
  it
• 24:18
  is.
• 24:18
  Yeah.
• 24:19
  But
• 24:19
  he
• 24:19
  makes
• 24:20
  it
• 24:20
  look
• 24:20
  almost
• 24:20
  impossible.
• 24:21
  And
• 24:22
  I
• 24:22
  think
• 24:22
  that
• 24:22
  got
• 24:22
  in
• 24:22
  our
• 24:23
  guys
• 24:23
  head.
• 24:23
  Yeah,
• 24:24
  that
• 24:24
  and
• 24:25
  you
• 24:25
  know,
• 24:25
  when
• 24:25
  putting
• 24:26
  pressure
• 24:26
  on
• 24:26
  themselves
• 24:26
  to
• 24:27
  go
• 24:27
  out
• 24:27
  there
• 24:27
  and
• 24:27
  score
• 24:27
  runs
• 24:28
  for
• 24:28
  him
• 24:28
  because
• 24:28
  they
• 24:28
  wanted
• 24:29
  him
• 24:29
  to
• 24:30
  win
• 24:30
  every
• 24:30
  game.
• 24:31
  Yeah,
• 24:32
  he
• 24:33
  was
• 24:33
  insane.
• 24:33
  Yeah,
• 24:34
  it
• 24:34
  was
• 24:34
  awesome.
• 24:34
  And

  dynamic

  tough
• 26:15
  of
• 26:15
  a
• 26:15
  time
• 26:15
  during
• 26:16
  certain
• 26:16
  situations?
• 26:18
  You
• 26:19
  know
• 26:19
  what
• 26:19
  I
• 26:19
  mean?
• 26:19
  Just
• 26:20
  know,
• 26:20
  you
• 26:20
  know,
• 26:20
  I
• 26:21
  kind
• 26:21
  of
• 26:21
  look
• 26:21
  at
• 26:22
  managing
• 26:23
  this
• 26:23
  way.
• 26:23
  Like
• 26:23
  I've
• 26:24
  been
• 26:24
  doing
• 26:24
  a
• 26:24
  podcast
• 26:25
  a
• 26:25
  little
• 26:25
  bit
• 26:27
  with,
• 26:27
  with
• 26:27
  some,
• 26:28
  some,
• 26:30
  some
• 26:30
  people
• 26:31
  and,
• 26:32
  you
• 26:32
  know,
• 26:32
  they
• 26:32
  ask
• 26:32
  questions
• 26:33
  about
• 26:33
  managers
• 26:34
  decisions
• 26:34
  and
• 26:35
  stuff.
• 26:35
  And
• 26:36
  the
• 26:36
  one
• 26:36
  thing
• 26:36
  I'll
• 26:37
  always
• 26:37
  say
• 26:38
  is
• 26:38
  I'll
• 26:38
  never
• 26:39
  criticize
• 26:39
  a
• 26:40
  manager
• 26:40
  because
• 26:42
  the
• 26:42
  manager
• 26:42
  is
• 26:43
  the
• 26:43
  only
• 26:43
  one
• 26:44
  that
• 26:44
  knows
• 26:44
  all
• 26:45
  of
• 26:45
  the
• 26:45
  information
• 26:46
  if
• 26:46
  the
• 26:46
  guy's
• 26:47
  hurting,
• 26:47
  if
• 26:47
  the
• 26:48
  guy
• 26:49
  didn't
• 26:50
  sleep
• 26:50
  last
• 26:50
  night
• 26:51
  for
• 26:51
  some
• 26:51
  reason.
• 26:52
  And
• 26:53
  all
• 26:53
  of
• 26:53
  these
• 26:53
  things,
• 26:54
  a
• 26:55
  manager
• 26:55
  can't
• 26:56
  stand
• 26:56
  up
• 26:56
  in
• 26:56
  front
• 26:57
  of
• 26:57
  the
• 26:57
  sports
• 26:58
  reporters
• 26:58
  and
• 26:58
  the
• 26:59
  fans
• 26:59
  to
• 26:59
  talk
• 27:00
  about,
• 27:00
  right?
• 27:01
  You
• 27:01
  have
• 27:01
  to
• 27:01
  take
• 27:02
  care
• 27:02
  of
• 27:02
  the
• 27:02
  organization
• 27:04
  and
• 27:04
  the
• 27:05
  players
• 27:05
  that
• 27:05
  are
• 27:05
  in
• 27:05
  that
• 27:06
  clubhouse.
• 27:07
  So
• 27:07
  I
• 27:08
  think
• 27:08
  that
• 27:08
  was
• 27:09
  a
• 27:10
  challenge
• 27:10
  as
• 27:10
  well
• 27:11
  as,
• 27:12
  you
• 27:12
  know,
• 27:12
  you
• 27:12
  really
• 27:12
  can't
• 27:13
  give
• 27:13
  all
• 27:13
  the
• 27:13
  information.
• 27:14
  So
• 27:15
  to
• 27:15
  really
• 27:16
  give
• 27:16
  the
• 27:17
  sports
• 27:17
  writers
• 27:17
  what
• 27:18
  they
• 27:18
  deserve,
• 27:19
  as
• 27:19
  much
• 27:19
  of
• 27:19
  the
• 27:19
  truth
• 27:20
  as
• 27:20
  you
• 27:20
  possibly
• 27:21
  can
• 27:21
  without
• 27:21
  it
• 27:22
  being
• 27:22
  a,
• 27:23
  you
• 27:23
  know,
• 27:23
  tactical
• 27:24
  disadvantage.
• 27:25
  When
• 27:25
  you're
• 27:25
  going
• 27:25
  to
• 27:25
  play,
• 27:27
  you
• 27:27
  know,
• 27:27
  the
• 27:28
  Tampa
• 27:28
  Bay
• 27:29
  Rays
• 27:29
  next
• 27:29
  week,
• 27:29
  you
• 27:30
  can't
• 27:30
  reveal
• 27:31
  that
• 27:31
  Jacob
• 27:31
  deGrom
• 27:32
  has
• 27:33
  a
• 27:33
  little
• 27:33
  bit
• 27:33
  of
• 27:33
  a,
• 27:34
  you
• 27:34
  know,
• 27:34
  sore
• 27:34
  thumb
• 27:35
  or
• 27:35
  whatever
• 27:35
  when
• 27:35
  he's
• 27:36
  pitching.
• 27:36
  So,
• 27:37
  you
• 27:37
  know,
• 27:37
  that,
• 27:37
  that
• 27:38
  kind
• 27:38
  of
• 27:38
  made
• 27:38
  it
• 27:38
  difficult.
• 27:39
  And
• 27:39
  I
• 27:39
  can
• 27:39
  understand,
• 27:41
  you
• 27:41
  know,
• 27:41
  the
• 27:42
  dynamic
• 27:42
  in
• 27:42
  New
• 27:43
  York
• 27:43
  where
• 27:44
  the
• 27:44
  fans,
• 27:45
  they
• 27:45
  want
• 27:45
  what
• 27:46
  they
• 27:46
  want,
• 27:46
  right?
• 27:46
  And
• 27:47
  they
• 27:47
  don't
• 27:47
  want
• 27:47
  to
• 27:47
  sit
• 27:47
  there
• 27:48
  and
• 27:48
  read
• 27:48
  about
• 27:48
  Kumbaya
• 27:49
  every
• 27:50
  day
• 27:50
  because
• 27:50
  that's
• 27:51
  not
• 27:51
  reality,
• 27:52
  right?
• 27:52
  The
• 27:53
  fans,
• 27:53
  the
• 27:54
  base,
• 27:54
  baseball
• 27:55
  is
• 27:55
  for
• 27:55
  the
• 27:56
  fans.
• 27:56
  And
• 27:56
  I
• 27:57
  think
• 27:57
  the
• 27:57
  sports
• 27:57
  writers
• 27:58
  in
• 27:58
  New
• 27:58
  York
• 27:59
  give
• 27:59
  them
• 28:00
  what
• 28:00
  they
• 28:00
  want
• 28:01
  to
• 28:01
  hear,
• 28:01
  and
• 28:01
  that's
• 28:02
  totally
• 28:02
  fine
• 28:02
  by
• 28:03
  me.
• 28:03
  So
• 28:04
  I
• 28:04
  didn't
• 28:04
  feel,
• 28:04
  you
• 28:05
  know,
• 28:05
  that
• 28:05
  it
• 28:05
  was
• 28:06
  unfair
• 28:06
  or
• 28:06
  anything.
• 28:07
  Obviously
• 28:07
  it
• 28:08
  was
• 28:08
  a
• 28:08
  challenge
• 28:08
  at
• 28:08
  times
• 28:09
  to
• 28:09
  read
• 28:09
  some
• 28:09
  of
• 28:10
  the
• 28:10
  stuff
• 28:10
  I
• 28:10
  did,
• 28:10
  but
• 28:11
  that's
• 28:12
  part
• 28:12
  of
• 28:12
  the
• 28:12
  game
• 28:12
  there
• 28:13
  in
• 28:13
  New
• 28:13
  York
• 28:13
  and
• 28:14
  I
• 28:14
  really
• 28:14
  thoroughly
• 28:15
  enjoyed
• 28:15
  it.
• 28:16
  Like
• 28:16
  I
• 28:16
  said,
• 28:16
  baseball
• 28:17
  playoff
• 28:18
  atmosphere
• 28:19
  every
• 28:19
  night.
• 28:19
  I'll
• 28:19
  take
• 28:20
  it
• 28:20
  162
• 28:21
  times
• 28:21
  a
• 28:21
  year.
• 28:22
  Well,
• 28:22
  we
• 28:22
  appreciate
• 28:23
  your
• 28:23
  candor
• 28:23
  because
• 28:24
  that's
• 28:24
  something
• 28:25
  that
• 28:26
  very
• 28:26
  often,
• 28:27
  you
• 28:27
  know,
• 28:27
  you
• 28:28
  don't
• 28:28
  hear.
• 28:28
  And
• 28:30
  it's
• 28:30
  a
• 28:30
  real
• 28:30
  great
• 28:31
  fact
• 28:31
  of
• 28:31
  life
• 28:31
  that
• 28:32
  you're
• 28:33
  protecting
• 28:33
  your
• 28:33
  team,
• 28:34
  you're
• 28:34
  managing
• 28:34
  your
• 28:35
  group
• 28:35
  and
• 28:35
  you're
• 28:36
  trying
• 28:36
  to
• 28:36
  give,
• 28:36
  you
• 28:37
  know,
• 28:37
  I
• 28:37
  don't
• 28:38
  want
• 28:38
  to
• 28:38
  say
• 28:38
  sound
• 28:38
  bites,
• 28:38
  but
• 28:39
  you're
• 28:39
  trying
• 28:39
  to
• 28:39
  give
• 28:39
  the
• 28:40
  reporters
• 28:41
  their
• 28:42
  due
• 28:42
  and
• 28:42
  give
• 28:42
  them
• 28:43
  their
• 28:43
  time.
• 28:43
  And
• 28:44
  it's
• 28:44
  got
• 28:44
  to
• 28:44
  be
• 28:45
  a
• 28:45
  very,
• 28:45
  very
• 28:46
  tough
• 28:46
  tightrope
• 28:47
  to
• 28:48
  maneuver.
• 28:50
  Before
• 28:50
  we
• 28:50
  let
• 28:50
  you
• 28:50
  go,
• 28:51
  just
• 28:51
  wanted
• 28:51
  to
• 28:51
  check
• 28:52
  in
• 28:52
  now
• 28:52
  in
• 28:52
  2025,
• 28:54
  you
• 28:55
  know,
• 28:55
  you
• 28:55
  said
• 28:55
  you're
• 28:56
  doing
• 28:56
  some
• 28:56
  pitching
• 28:57
  work.
• 28:58
  Are
• 28:58
  you
• 28:58
  looking
• 28:58
  to
• 29:00
  get
• 29:00
  back
• 29:01
  into
• 29:01
  managing
• 29:02
  coaching
• 29:03
  on
• 29:03
  the
• 29:03
  professional
• 29:03
  level?
• 29:06
  Where
• 29:07
  do
• 29:07
  you
• 29:07
  stand
• 29:07
  right
• 29:07
  now
• 29:07
  and
• 29:08
  what
• 29:08
  are
• 29:08
  your
• 29:08
  immediate
• 29:09
  goals?
• 29:10
  Yeah,
• 29:10
  you
• 29:10
  know,
• 29:11
  I
• 29:11
  just
• 29:11
  bought
• 29:11
  a
• 29:12
  Ranch,
• 29:12
  a
• 29:12
  50
• 29:13
  acre
• 29:13
  ranch
• 29:13
  here
• 29:14
  in
• 29:14
  North
• 29:14
  Mississippi,
• 29:15
  just
• 29:15
  south
• 29:16
  of
• 29:16
  Memphis.
• 29:17
  So
• 29:18
  I
• 29:18
  bought
• 29:19
  chickens
• 29:19
  and
• 29:20
  ducks
• 29:20
  the
• 29:20
  other
• 29:20
  day
• 29:21
  and
• 29:22
  try
• 29:22
  to
• 29:22
  raise
• 29:23
  some
• 29:23
  cattle
• 29:23
  over
• 29:24
  here.
• 29:24
  So
• 29:24
  I'm
• 29:24
  doing
• 29:24
  that
• 29:25
  right
• 29:26
  now.
• 29:26
  But
• 29:26
  there's
• 29:27
  no
• 29:27
  doubt
• 29:27
  I
• 29:28
  love
• 29:28
  to
• 29:28
  get
• 29:28
  back
• 29:29
  at
• 29:30
  that.
• 29:33
  So
• 29:33
  if
• 29:34
  that
• 29:34
  opportunity
• 29:34
  arises,
• 29:35
  I
• 29:35
  will
• 29:35
  definitely
• 29:36
  take
• 29:36
  it.
• 29:36
  I
• 29:37
  miss
• 29:37
  the
• 29:37
  game.
• 29:37
  I
• 29:38
  miss
• 29:38
  professional
• 29:38
  baseball.
• 29:40
  I
• 29:40
  miss
• 29:40
  that
• 29:40
  level
• 29:41
  of
• 29:41
  competitiveness
• 29:42
  that
• 29:42
  you
• 29:42
  see
• 29:43
  on
• 29:43
  a
• 29:43
  nightly
• 29:44
  basis.
• 29:44
  I
• 29:44
  miss
• 29:44
  the
• 29:45
  pressure.
• 29:46
  So,
• 29:46
  you
• 29:46
  know,
• 29:46
  I
• 29:46
  would
• 29:47
  love
• 29:47
  to
• 29:47
  obviously
• 29:48
  get
• 29:48
  back
• 29:48
  to
• 29:49
  the
• 29:49
  game.
• 29:49
  I've
• 29:49
  been
• 29:49
  eligible
• 29:50
  for
• 29:50
  a
• 29:50
  few
• 29:50
  years
• 29:50
  now.
• 29:51
  I
• 29:51
  haven't
• 29:51
  really
• 29:52
  reached
• 29:52
  out
• 29:52
  to
• 29:52
  anybody.
• 29:54
  If
• 29:54
  somebody
• 29:54
  wants
• 29:54
  me,
• 29:55
  I'm
• 29:55
  sure
• 29:55
  they'll
• 29:56
  reach
• 29:56
  out
• 29:57
  someday
• 29:58
  and
• 29:58
  I
• 29:58
  will
• 29:59
  gladly
• 30:00
  consider.
• 30:01
  Well,
• 30:01
  you
• 30:01
  certainly
• 30:02
  proved
• 30:02
  you
• 30:02

• 30:02
  do
• 30:03
  it
• 30:03
  and
• 30:03
  you
• 30:03
  did.
• 30:03
  Have
• 30:04
  you
• 30:04
  improved
• 30:05
  each
• 30:05
  year

  New

  And
• 30:06
  we
• 30:06
  hope
• 30:06
  you
• 30:07
  get
• 30:07
  the
• 30:07
  chance
• 30:07
  to
• 30:07
  do
• 30:08
  that
• 30:08
  again.
• 30:09
  We
• 30:09
  can't
• 30:09
  thank

  But

  Talk
• 32:21
  a
• 32:21
  little
• 32:21
  baseball.
• 32:22
  We
• 32:22
  can
• 32:22
  if
• 32:23
  you
• 32:23
  have
• 32:23
  any
• 32:23
  questions
• 32:23
  about
• 32:24
  Mickey
• 32:24
  Calloway
• 32:25
  and
• 32:25
  his
• 32:26
  great
• 32:27
  interview
• 32:28
  we
• 32:28
  just
• 32:28
  had
• 32:28
  with
• 32:28
  him,
• 32:29
  unfortunately,
• 32:29
  we
• 32:29
  had
• 32:29
  a
• 32:29
  little
• 32:30
  bit
• 32:30
  of
• 32:30
  a
• 32:30
  technical
• 32:30
  issue
• 32:31
  with
• 32:31
  his
• 32:31
  phone,
• 32:32
  but
• 32:32
  we
• 32:33
  were
• 32:33
  able
• 32:33
  to
• 32:34
  get
• 32:34
  through
• 32:34
  it.
• 32:34
  And,
• 32:35
  you
• 32:35
  know,
• 32:36
  again,
• 32:37
  he
• 32:37
  gave
• 32:37
  us
• 32:37
  some
• 32:37
  great
• 32:37
  insights
• 32:38
  on
• 32:38
  what
• 32:38
  it's
• 32:38
  like
• 32:39
  managing
• 32:39
  in
• 32:39
  New
• 32:39
  York.
• 32:39
  I
• 32:40
  think
• 32:40
  we
• 32:40
  could
• 32:40
  have
• 32:40
  probably,
• 32:41
  you
• 32:41
  know,
• 32:41
  done
• 32:41
  another
• 32:42
  half
• 32:42
  hour
• 32:42
  with
• 32:42
  him
• 32:43
  and
• 32:43
  I'm
• 32:44
  hoping
• 32:44
  to
• 32:44
  do
• 32:44
  that
• 32:45
  on
• 32:45
  a
• 32:45
  little
• 32:46
  clearer
• 32:46
  signal
• 32:46
  next
• 32:47
  time
• 32:47
  because
• 32:47
  he
• 32:48
  really,
• 32:48
  he
• 32:49
  besides
• 32:49
  the
• 32:49
  Mets,
• 32:50
  you
• 32:50
  know,
• 32:50
  Cap,
• 32:51
  he
• 32:51
  as
• 32:51
  we
• 32:51
  were
• 32:52
  talking
• 32:52
  off
• 32:52
  air,
• 32:52
  he
• 32:53
  had
• 32:53
  some
• 32:53
  interesting
• 32:53
  personalities
• 32:54
  that
• 32:54
  he
• 32:54
  managed
• 32:55
  and
• 32:55
  worked
• 32:56
  with.
• 32:56
  Yeah.
• 32:56
  I
• 32:56
  mean,
• 32:56
  he
• 32:57
  had
• 32:57
  to
• 32:57
  deal
• 32:57
  with
• 32:57
  a
• 32:57
  lot
• 32:57
  of,
• 32:59
  you
• 32:59
  know,
• 33:00
  shots
• 33:00
  here
• 33:01
  in
• 33:01
  New
• 33:01
  York,
• 33:01
  people
• 33:02
  in
• 33:02
  Cleveland.
• 33:03
  And,
• 33:05
  you
• 33:05
  know,
• 33:05
  for
• 33:06
  people
• 33:06
  who
• 33:06
  might
• 33:06
  have
• 33:06
  looked
• 33:07
  up
• 33:07
  some
• 33:07
  of
• 33:07
  his
• 33:07
  past,
• 33:08
  he
• 33:08
  had
• 33:08
  to
• 33:09
  take
• 33:09
  some
• 33:09
  time
• 33:09
  away
• 33:10
  from
• 33:10
  baseball
• 33:10
  for
• 33:11
  some
• 33:11
  penalties
• 33:11
  that
• 33:12
  he,
• 33:12
  you
• 33:12
  know,
• 33:12
  unfortunately.
• 33:14
  Yeah,
• 33:15
  obviously
• 33:15
  we
• 33:15
  weren't
• 33:15
  going
• 33:16
  to
• 33:16
  delve
• 33:16
  into
• 33:16
  that,
• 33:16
  but
• 33:17
  he
• 33:17
  admitted
• 33:18
  that,
• 33:18
  you
• 33:18
  know,
• 33:19
  I
• 33:20
  think
• 33:20
  also
• 33:20
  here's
• 33:21
  a
• 33:21
  guy
• 33:21
  grew
• 33:22
  up
• 33:22
  in
• 33:22
  Tennessee,
• 33:24
  you
• 33:24
  know,
• 33:24
  went
• 33:24
  to
• 33:24
  school
• 33:24
  in
• 33:25
  Mississippi,
• 33:25
  then
• 33:26
  gets
• 33:26
  into
• 33:26
  professional
• 33:27
  baseball.
• 33:27
  Now
• 33:28
  he's
• 33:28
  in
• 33:28
  Cleveland,
• 33:29
  which
• 33:29
  is
• 33:29
  no
• 33:29
  small
• 33:29
  potatoes
• 33:30
  market,
• 33:30
  but
• 33:30
  it's
• 33:31
  Cleveland.
• 33:31
  It's
• 33:31
  not.
• 33:32
  And
• 33:33
  then
• 33:33
  boom,
• 33:33
  his
• 33:34
  first
• 33:34
  real
• 33:35
  managerial
• 33:35
  job
• 33:36
  in
• 33:36
  professional
• 33:37
  baseball
• 33:37
  is
• 33:37
  in
• 33:37
  New
• 33:38
  York.
• 33:38
  It's
• 33:38
  different.
• 33:39
  Yeah.
• 33:39
  And
• 33:40
  I
• 33:40
  thought,
• 33:41
  you
• 33:41
  know,
• 33:41
  again,
• 33:41
  I
• 33:41
  thought
• 33:42
  he
• 33:42
  did
• 33:42
  real
• 33:42
  well.
• 33:43
  I
• 33:43
  mean,
• 33:43
  I
• 33:43
  don't
• 33:43
  know
• 33:43
  what
• 33:43
  else
• 33:44
  was
• 33:44
  going
• 33:44
  on
• 33:45
  behind
• 33:45
  the
• 33:45
  scenes
• 33:45
  at
• 33:46
  that
• 33:46
  time,
• 33:46
  but
• 33:46
  he
• 33:46
  did,
• 33:47
  you
• 33:47
  know,
• 33:48
  he
• 33:48
  had
• 33:48
  that
• 33:48
  maybe
• 33:49
  he
• 33:49
  was
• 33:49
  a
• 33:49
  victim,
• 33:49
  unfortunately,
• 33:50
  of
• 33:50
  that
• 33:50
  great
• 33:51
  start
• 33:51
  because
• 33:51
  they
• 33:52
  did
• 33:52
  start
• 33:52
  out
• 33:52
  so
• 33:53
  well.
• 33:53
  Then
• 33:53
  they
• 33:53
  Hit
• 33:54
  the
• 33:54
  skids.
• 33:54
  And
• 33:54
  that
• 33:54
  first
• 33:55
  year
• 33:55
  was
• 33:55
  not.
• 33:56
  Was
• 33:56
  not
• 33:56
  what
• 33:56
  he
• 33:56
  was
• 33:56
  looking
• 33:56
  for.
• 33:57
  Second
• 33:57
  year,
• 33:57
  better.
• 33:57
  But,
• 33:59
  you
• 33:59
  know,
• 34:00
  the
• 34:00
  Met
• 34:01
  ownership
• 34:01
  and.
• 34:02
  Everything,
• 34:02
  it
• 34:02
  was
• 34:02
  somewhat
• 34:03
  trying
• 34:03
  to
• 34:03
  change.
• 34:03
  You
• 34:03
  got
• 34:03
  to
• 34:03
  also
• 34:04
  remember
• 34:04
  they
• 34:04
  brought
• 34:04
  in
• 34:04
  Brody
• 34:05
  Van
• 34:05
  Wagenen
• 34:05
  to
• 34:05
  take
• 34:06
  over
• 34:06
  for
• 34:08
  Sandy
• 34:08
  Alderson,
• 34:09
  who
• 34:09
  had
• 34:09
  stepped
• 34:09
  away.
• 34:09
  So
• 34:10
  you
• 34:10
  had
• 34:10
  a
• 34:10
  guy
• 34:10
  who
• 34:10
  was
• 34:11
  Jacob
• 34:11
  deGrom's
• 34:12
  agent
• 34:12
  is
• 34:12
  now
• 34:13
  your
• 34:13
  boss.
• 34:13
  Yes.
• 34:14
  So
• 34:15
  you're
• 34:15
  dealing
• 34:15
  with
• 34:15
  a.
• 34:15
  Definitely
• 34:16
  a
• 34:16
  different
• 34:16
  situation.
• 34:17
  And,
• 34:18
  you
• 34:19
  know,
• 34:19
  I
• 34:19
  think
• 34:19
  that
• 34:19
  that
• 34:20
  kind
• 34:20
  of
• 34:20
  plays.
• 34:21
  Part
• 34:21
  of
• 34:21
  it
• 34:21
  is
• 34:22
  now
• 34:22
  you
• 34:22
  have
• 34:22
  a
• 34:22
  guy
• 34:22
  above
• 34:22
  you
• 34:23
  who
• 34:23
  you
• 34:23
  just.
• 34:23
  It's
• 34:24
  a
• 34:24
  different
• 34:24
  person
• 34:24
  than
• 34:24
  it
• 34:24
  was
• 34:25
  the
• 34:25
  first
• 34:26
  year.
• 34:26
  And
• 34:26
  you
• 34:27
  have
• 34:27
  guys
• 34:27
  like
• 34:28
  Marcus
• 34:28
  Stroman
• 34:28
  on
• 34:28
  your
• 34:29
  roster,
• 34:29
  guys
• 34:29
  like,
• 34:30
  you
• 34:30
  know,
• 34:30
  bringing
• 34:30
  in
• 34:30
  Edwin
• 34:31
  Diaz
• 34:31
  and
• 34:32
  Robinson
• 34:32
  Cano
• 34:33
  and,
• 34:33
  you
• 34:33
  know,
• 34:33
  having
• 34:33
  to
• 34:34
  get
• 34:34
  rid
• 34:34
  of
• 34:34
  Matt
• 34:34
  Harvey
• 34:35
  halfway
• 34:35
  through
• 34:35
  the
• 34:35
  season
• 34:35
  because
• 34:36
  some
• 34:36
  of
• 34:36
  the
• 34:36
  mistakes
• 34:36
  he
• 34:37
  made,
• 34:37
  it's
• 34:37
  like,
• 34:37
  you
• 34:37
  know,
• 34:37
  there
• 34:38
  was
• 34:38
  some
• 34:38
  behind
• 34:38
  the
• 34:38
  scenes
• 34:39
  stuff
• 34:39
  that
• 34:39
  we
• 34:39
  didn't
• 34:39
  talk
• 34:39
  about
• 34:39
  that
• 34:40
  were
• 34:41
  not
• 34:41
  easy
• 34:41
  to
• 34:41
  deal
• 34:42
  with.
• 34:42
  David
• 34:42
  Wright
• 34:42
  had
• 34:43
  to
• 34:43
  retire
• 34:44
  in
• 34:44
  one.
• 34:44
  Of
• 34:44
  his
• 34:44
  seasons,
• 34:45
  and
• 34:45
  it
• 34:45
  seems
• 34:46
  like
• 34:46
  he
• 34:46
  would
• 34:47
  definitely
• 34:47
  be
• 34:47
  willing
• 34:47
  to
• 34:47
  get
• 34:48
  into
• 34:48
  that.
• 34:48
  It's
• 34:49
  a
• 34:49
  sticky
• 34:49
  wicket
• 34:50
  because
• 34:50
  he's
• 34:50
  trying
• 34:50
  to
• 34:50
  get
• 34:50
  back
• 34:51
  into
• 34:51
  baseball.
• 34:52
  You
• 34:52
  know,
• 34:53
  not
• 34:53
  that
• 34:54
  we
• 34:54
  lob
• 34:54
  softball
• 34:54
  questions
• 34:55
  at
• 34:55
  him
• 34:55
  tonight,
• 34:55
  but
• 34:56
  I
• 34:56
  would
• 34:56
  like
• 34:56
  to
• 34:57
  dive
• 34:57
  into
• 34:58
  a
• 34:58
  little
• 34:58
  bit
• 34:58
  of
• 34:58
  that.
• 34:58
  But
• 34:59
  for
• 34:59
  me,
• 35:00
  as
• 35:00
  someone
• 35:01
  who
• 35:01
  just
• 35:01
  coaches
• 35:02
  sports
• 35:02
  and
• 35:03
  as
• 35:03
  a
• 35:03
  teacher,
• 35:04
  it's
• 35:04
  fascinating
• 35:05
  when
• 35:05
  you
• 35:05
  hear
• 35:06
  guys
• 35:06
  like
• 35:06
  him
• 35:07
  talk
• 35:07
  about
• 35:07
  their
• 35:08
  leadership
• 35:08
  and
• 35:08
  being
• 35:09
  positive
• 35:09
  all
• 35:09
  the
• 35:09
  time
• 35:10
  and
• 35:10
  then
• 35:10
  getting
• 35:10
  in
• 35:11
  someone's
• 35:11
  butt.
• 35:11
  And
• 35:12
  it's
• 35:12
  just.
• 35:14
  I
• 35:15
  really.
• 35:15
  I
• 35:16
  mean,
• 35:16
  I
• 35:16
  could
• 35:16
  sit
• 35:16
  and
• 35:16
  talk
• 35:16
  to
• 35:16
  guys
• 35:17
  like
• 35:17
  that
• 35:17
  for
• 35:17
  hours,
• 35:18
  just
• 35:18
  picking
• 35:18
  their
• 35:19
  brain,
• 35:19
  what
• 35:19
  it's
• 35:19
  like.
• 35:20
  And
• 35:21
  it's
• 35:21
  just,
• 35:22
  you
• 35:22
  know,
• 35:22
  what
• 35:22
  a
• 35:22
  privilege
• 35:23
  it
• 35:23
  must
• 35:23
  be
• 35:23
  to
• 35:23
  manage
• 35:24
  on
• 35:24
  that
• 35:24
  level.
• 35:24
  But
• 35:25
  the
• 35:25
  heartache
• 35:26
  you
• 35:26
  go
• 35:26
  through
• 35:27
  as.
• 35:27
  A
• 35:27
  pitching
• 35:27
  coach,
• 35:28
  excellent.
• 35:28
  I
• 35:28
  just
• 35:28
  think
• 35:29
  he
• 35:29
  ran
• 35:29
  into
• 35:29
  a
• 35:29
  tough
• 35:29
  time
• 35:30
  in
• 35:30
  New
• 35:30
  York
• 35:31
  and
• 35:31
  wasn't
• 35:31
  able
• 35:32
  to
• 35:32
  get
• 35:32
  himself
• 35:32
  out
• 35:33
  of
• 35:33
  debt.
• 35:33
  Another
• 35:33
  guy
• 35:34
  who
• 35:34
  I'd
• 35:34
  love
• 35:34
  to
• 35:35
  talk
• 35:35
  to
• 35:35
  about
• 35:35
  stuff
• 35:36
  like
• 35:36
  this,
• 35:36
  people
• 35:36
  who
• 35:37
  go
• 35:37
  through
• 35:37
  the
• 35:37
  rankings
• 35:38
  like
• 35:38
  you
• 35:38
  and
• 35:38
  I,
• 35:39
  Mike,
• 35:39
  like
• 35:39
  a
• 35:39
  Nate
• 35:40
  Oates
• 35:40
  at
• 35:40
  Alabama
• 35:41
  basketball,
• 35:42
  a
• 35:42
  guy
• 35:42
  who
• 35:42
  was
• 35:42
  a
• 35:42
  high
• 35:43
  school
• 35:43
  math
• 35:43
  teacher,
• 35:44
  then
• 35:44
  went
• 35:44
  to
• 35:44
  the
• 35:44
  University
• 35:45
  of
• 35:45
  Buffalo
• 35:46
  and
• 35:46
  eventually
• 35:46
  winds
• 35:47
  up
• 35:47
  at
• 35:47
  Alabama.
• 35:47
  Like,
• 35:48
  this
• 35:48
  is
• 35:48
  a
• 35:48
  guy
• 35:49
  who
• 35:49
  went
• 35:50
  through
• 35:50
  the
• 35:50
  grind
• 35:51
  just
• 35:51
  to
• 35:51
  get
• 35:51
  where
• 35:52
  he
• 35:52
  was.
• 35:52
  And
• 35:52
  he
• 35:52
  was
• 35:52
  coaching,
• 35:53
  you
• 35:53
  know,
• 35:54
  high
• 35:54
  school
• 35:54
  basketball
• 35:54
  and
• 35:54
  coaching
• 35:55
  math
• 35:55
  a
• 35:55
  few
• 35:56
  years
• 35:56
  before
• 35:56
  that.
• 35:57
  So
• 35:57
  those
• 35:57
  are
• 35:57
  the
• 35:58
  situations
• 35:58
  where
• 35:58
  it's
• 35:58
  like,
• 35:59
  wow,
• 35:59
  like,
• 35:59
  the
• 36:00
  only
• 36:00
  difference
• 36:00
  between
• 36:01
  him
• 36:01
  and
• 36:01
  us
• 36:01
  is
• 36:01
  he
• 36:02
  has
• 36:02
  to
• 36:02
  do
• 36:02
  it
• 36:02
  on
• 36:03
  a
• 36:03
  bigger
• 36:03
  spotlight.
• 36:04
  But
• 36:04
  they.
• 36:04
  These
• 36:04
  guys
• 36:05
  come
• 36:05
  and
• 36:05
  they
• 36:05
  talk
• 36:05
  and
• 36:06
  they
• 36:06
  say,
• 36:06
  hey,
• 36:06
  listen,
• 36:07
  you
• 36:07
  know,
• 36:07
  my
• 36:08
  job
• 36:08
  is
• 36:08
  to
• 36:08
  take
• 36:09
  all
• 36:09
  of
• 36:09
  the
• 36:09
  tough
• 36:09
  stuff
• 36:10
  and
• 36:10
  not
• 36:10
  really
• 36:11
  talk
• 36:11
  about
• 36:11
  it,
• 36:12
  but
• 36:12
  he
• 36:12
  was
• 36:12
  given
• 36:12
  a
• 36:12
  tough
• 36:13
  time
• 36:13
  by
• 36:13
  some
• 36:14
  of
• 36:14
  the
• 36:14
  media
• 36:14
  and
• 36:14
  he
• 36:15
  had
• 36:15
  to
• 36:15
  go
• 36:15
  on
• 36:15
  the
• 36:15
  air
• 36:15
  and
• 36:16
  kind
• 36:16
  of,
• 36:16
  you
• 36:16
  know,
• 36:17
  take
• 36:17
  some
• 36:17
  of
• 36:17
  that
• 36:17
  stuff
• 36:18
  and
• 36:18
  put
• 36:18
  it
• 36:18
  down.
• 36:18
  But
• 36:19
  you
• 36:19
  know
• 36:19
  where
• 36:19
  we
• 36:19
  are
• 36:19
  with
• 36:20
  the
• 36:20
  Mets
• 36:20
  right
• 36:20
  now,
• 36:21
  Mike,
• 36:21
  it's,
• 36:22
  it's
• 36:23
  tough.
• 36:23
  Well,
• 36:23
  every
• 36:24
  day,
• 36:25
  you
• 36:26
  know,
• 36:26
  let's
• 36:26
  start
• 36:26
  like
• 36:27
  last
• 36:27
  week.
• 36:28
  They
• 36:28
  were
• 36:28
  not
• 36:28
  doing
• 36:28
  well.
• 36:29
  No.
• 36:29
  To
• 36:29
  begin
• 36:29
  with,
• 36:29
  it's,
• 36:30
  it's
• 36:30
  been
• 36:30
  tough.
• 36:30
  I
• 36:30
  think
• 36:31
  the
• 36:31
  Mets
• 36:31
  and
• 36:31
  the
• 36:31
  Yankees
• 36:32
  have
• 36:32
  the
• 36:32
  third
• 36:32
  and
• 36:32
  fourth
• 36:33
  worst
• 36:33
  record
• 36:33
  since
• 36:34
  June
• 36:34
  13th.
• 36:35
  Somewhere
• 36:35
  around
• 36:35
  like
• 36:35
  20
• 36:36
  and
• 36:36
  30
• 36:36
  and,
• 36:37
  and
• 36:38
  you
• 36:38
  know,
• 36:38
  20
• 36:39
  and
• 36:39
  32,
• 36:40
  something
• 36:40
  like
• 36:40
  that.
• 36:40
  Between
• 36:40
  the
• 36:41
  two
• 36:41
  of
• 36:41
  them,
• 36:42
  things
• 36:42
  weren't
• 36:43
  going
• 36:43
  well.
• 36:43
  And
• 36:44
  people
• 36:44
  might
• 36:44
  say
• 36:44
  today
• 36:45
  or
• 36:45
  last
• 36:46
  night
• 36:46
  or
• 36:46
  whatever
• 36:47
  was
• 36:47
  rock
• 36:47
  bottom,
• 36:48
  but
• 36:48
  being
• 36:48
  at
• 36:48
  that
• 36:48
  game
• 36:49
  last
• 36:49
  Wednesday
• 36:50
  and
• 36:50
  them
• 36:50
  not
• 36:51
  having
• 36:51
  a
• 36:51
  hit
• 36:51
  in
• 36:51
  the
• 36:51
  ninth
• 36:52
  inning,
• 36:52
  that
• 36:52
  was
• 36:53
  pretty
• 36:53
  bad.
• 36:53
  It
• 36:53
  was,
• 36:54
  you
• 36:54
  know,
• 36:54
  we,
• 36:55
  Chris
• 36:56
  and
• 36:56
  I
• 36:56
  went,
• 36:56
  we
• 36:56
  went
• 36:57
  to
• 36:57
  the
• 36:57
  game
• 36:57
  and
• 36:58
  it
• 36:58
  was
• 36:58
  an
• 36:58
  afternoon
• 36:59
  game,
• 37:01
  very
• 37:02
  beautiful
• 37:02
  day,
• 37:04
  good
• 37:04
  sized
• 37:05
  crowd
• 37:05
  because
• 37:05
  obviously
• 37:06
  you
• 37:06
  have
• 37:06
  the
• 37:06
  camps
• 37:07
  there.
• 37:08
  But
• 37:08
  there
• 37:08
  was,
• 37:10
  it
• 37:10
  was
• 37:10
  a
• 37:10
  weird
• 37:11
  feeling
• 37:11
  though.
• 37:11
  I
• 37:12
  mean,
• 37:12
  going
• 37:12
  to
• 37:12
  baseball
• 37:12
  games,
• 37:12
  we're
• 37:13
  going
• 37:13
  to
• 37:13
  met
• 37:13
  games,
• 37:13
  you
• 37:14
  know,
• 37:14
  for
• 37:14
  40
• 37:14
  plus
• 37:15
  years,
• 37:15
  it.
• 37:16
  Just
• 37:16
  walking
• 37:16
  around
• 37:17
  the
• 37:17
  stadium,
• 37:17
  I
• 37:18
  didn't
• 37:18
  feel
• 37:18
  like
• 37:18
  I
• 37:18
  was
• 37:18
  even
• 37:18
  at
• 37:19
  a
• 37:19
  major
• 37:19
  league
• 37:19
  game.
• 37:19
  It
• 37:20
  was
• 37:20
  weird.
• 37:20
  Yeah,
• 37:21
  it
• 37:21
  was
• 37:21
  kind
• 37:21
  of
• 37:21
  a
• 37:21
  little
• 37:21
  relaxed
• 37:22
  and
• 37:22
  you
• 37:22
  can
• 37:23
  hear
• 37:23
  people
• 37:23
  on
• 37:23
  the
• 37:23
  way
• 37:23
  and
• 37:24
  say,
• 37:24
  oh,
• 37:24
  we're
• 37:24
  going
• 37:24
  to
• 37:24
  win
• 37:24
  today,
• 37:24
  we're
• 37:25
  going
• 37:25
  to
• 37:25
  win
• 37:25
  today.
• 37:26
  And
• 37:26
  listen,
• 37:27
  I'm
• 37:27
  don't,
• 37:28
  I
• 37:28
  don't
• 37:28
  like
• 37:28
  to
• 37:28
  call
• 37:28
  myself
• 37:28
  pessimistic.
• 37:29
  I
• 37:29
  try
• 37:29
  to
• 37:30
  say
• 37:30
  I'm
• 37:30
  somewhat
• 37:31
  of
• 37:31
  a
• 37:31
  down
• 37:31
  realist.
• 37:32
  You're
• 37:32
  a
• 37:32
  realist.
• 37:32
  You
• 37:32
  know,
• 37:33
  I
• 37:33
  see
• 37:33
  what's
• 37:33
  going
• 37:33
  on
• 37:34
  and
• 37:34
  I
• 37:34
  follow
• 37:34
  the
• 37:35
  pattern.
• 37:35
  And
• 37:35
  I'm
• 37:35
  not
• 37:36
  a
• 37:36
  person
• 37:36
  that
• 37:36
  says,
• 37:36
  oh,
• 37:36
  because
• 37:37
  we've
• 37:37
  lost
• 37:37
  four
• 37:37
  in
• 37:37
  a
• 37:37
  row,
• 37:38
  we're
• 37:38
  going
• 37:38
  to
• 37:38
  win
• 37:38
  the
• 37:38
  fifth.
• 37:39
  For
• 37:39
  me,
• 37:39
  it's,
• 37:39
  we
• 37:40
  have
• 37:40
  to
• 37:40
  find
• 37:40
  a
• 37:40
  way
• 37:41
  to
• 37:41
  get
• 37:41
  out
• 37:41
  of
• 37:41
  this
• 37:42
  rut
• 37:42
  or
• 37:42
  else
• 37:42
  it's
• 37:43
  going
• 37:43
  to
• 37:43
  continue.
• 37:43
  Yes.
• 37:44
  And
• 37:44
  it's
• 37:44
  just
• 37:44
  going
• 37:44
  to
• 37:44
  keep
• 37:44
  going.
• 37:45
  And
• 37:45
  it
• 37:45
  started
• 37:46
  with
• 37:46
  the
• 37:46
  first
• 37:47
  play
• 37:47
  of
• 37:47
  the
• 37:47
  game,
• 37:47
  knocking
• 37:48
  the
• 37:48
  glove
• 37:49
  off
• 37:49
  of
• 37:49
  the
• 37:49
  pitcher.
• 37:50
  He
• 37:50
  hustles
• 37:51
  after
• 37:51
  the
• 37:51
  ball.
• 37:52
  Probably
• 37:52
  something
• 37:52
  one
• 37:52
  of
• 37:52
  the
• 37:53
  Mets
• 37:53
  pitchers
• 37:53
  wouldn't
• 37:53
  have
• 37:53
  done.
• 37:53
  No,
• 37:54
  they
• 37:54
  would
• 37:54
  have
• 37:54
  waited.
• 37:54
  Throws
• 37:55
  the
• 37:55
  first
• 37:56
  and
• 37:56
  gets
• 37:56
  the
• 37:57
  guy
• 37:57
  out.
• 37:57
  Yeah.
• 37:57
  Okay.
• 37:58
  Works
• 37:59
  his
• 37:59
  way
• 37:59
  through
• 37:59
  that
• 37:59
  inning
• 38:00
  and
• 38:01
  you
• 38:01
  know,
• 38:01
  a
• 38:01
  couple
• 38:01
  of
• 38:02
  walks
• 38:02
  here
• 38:02
  or
• 38:02
  there.
• 38:02
  Yeah.
• 38:03
  A
• 38:03
  couple
• 38:03
  of
• 38:03
  hiccups
• 38:03
  later
• 38:04
  on.
• 38:04
  But
• 38:04
  Mike,
• 38:04
  that
• 38:05
  game
• 38:05
  went
• 38:05
  on
• 38:05
  and
• 38:05
  on.
• 38:06
  And
• 38:06
  what
• 38:06
  were
• 38:06
  you
• 38:06
  and
• 38:06
  I
• 38:07
  talking
• 38:07
  about?
• 38:09
  The
• 38:09
  guy's
• 38:10
  Got
• 38:10
  a
• 38:10
  no
• 38:10
  hitter.
• 38:10
  A
• 38:10
  no
• 38:11
  hitter,
• 38:11
  Absolutely.
• 38:11
  Yes.
• 38:12
  You
• 38:12
  get
• 38:12
  and
• 38:12
  you
• 38:12
  start.
• 38:12
  And
• 38:13
  even
• 38:13
  early,
• 38:13
  I
• 38:13
  think
• 38:14
  we,
• 38:14
  you
• 38:14
  know,
• 38:14
  third
• 38:15
  inning
• 38:15
  or
• 38:15
  so.
• 38:15
  Yeah.
• 38:16
  We're
• 38:16
  like,
• 38:16
  hey,
• 38:16
  you
• 38:16
  know,
• 38:17
  it's
• 38:17
  not.
• 38:17
  This
• 38:18
  is
• 38:18
  not,
• 38:18
  you
• 38:18
  know,
• 38:18
  fancy.
• 38:19
  Became
• 38:19
  quicker
• 38:19
  in
• 38:20
  it.
• 38:20
  Yes.
• 38:20
  Because
• 38:20
  remember,
• 38:21
  that
• 38:21
  first
• 38:21
  inning
• 38:21
  was
• 38:21
  like
• 38:21
  33
• 38:22
  pitches.
• 38:22
  I
• 38:22
  mean,
• 38:22
  we
• 38:23
  walked.
• 38:23
  We
• 38:23
  walked
• 38:23
  around.
• 38:26
  We
• 38:26
  had
• 38:26
  a
• 38:26
  couple
• 38:27
  young.
• 38:27
  Young
• 38:27
  kids
• 38:27
  with
• 38:28
  us
• 38:28
  and.
• 38:28
  And
• 38:28
  families,
• 38:29
  and
• 38:29
  we.
• 38:29
  We
• 38:30
  did
• 38:30
  a
• 38:30
  quick
• 38:30
  walk,
• 38:31
  and
• 38:31
  before
• 38:31
  you
• 38:31
  know
• 38:31
  it,
• 38:31
  it
• 38:32
  was
• 38:32
  like
• 38:32
  the
• 38:32
  six
• 38:32
  thinning.
• 38:33
  Yeah.
• 38:33
  Yeah.
• 38:33
  And
• 38:33
  a
• 38:33
  couple
• 38:34
  of
• 38:34
  runs
• 38:34
  for
• 38:34
  the
• 38:34
  other
• 38:34
  team.
• 38:35
  And
• 38:36
  now
• 38:36
  you're
• 38:36
  counting
• 38:36
  down
• 38:37
  our
• 38:37
  outs.
• 38:37
  15,
• 38:38
  12,
• 38:38
  nine,
• 38:38
  six.
• 38:39
  And
• 38:39
  now
• 38:39
  you're
• 38:39
  getting
• 38:40
  a
• 38:40
  six.
• 38:40
  And
• 38:40
  you
• 38:41
  had
• 38:41
  two
• 38:41
  different
• 38:41
  people,
• 38:41
  sets
• 38:42
  of
• 38:42
  people
• 38:42
  at
• 38:42
  the
• 38:42
  game,
• 38:43
  right?
• 38:43
  Oh,
• 38:43
  yeah.
• 38:44
  So
• 38:44
  what
• 38:44
  was
• 38:44
  it,
• 38:44
  Mike?
• 38:44
  What
• 38:44
  were
• 38:45
  two
• 38:45
  sets
• 38:45
  of
• 38:45
  people?
• 38:45
  You
• 38:46
  had.
• 38:46
  Well,
• 38:46
  you
• 38:46
  had
• 38:46
  a
• 38:46
  lot
• 38:46
  of
• 38:46
  Cleveland
• 38:47
  fans
• 38:47
  there.
• 38:47
  Correct.
• 38:48
  You
• 38:48
  had
• 38:48
  people
• 38:48
  there.
• 38:48
  You
• 38:49
  know,
• 38:49
  we
• 38:49
  were
• 38:49
  sitting
• 38:49
  near
• 38:49
  the
• 38:50
  Cleveland
• 38:50
  dugout.
• 38:50
  But
• 38:51
  then
• 38:51
  you
• 38:51
  had
• 38:51
  a
• 38:51
  lot
• 38:51
  of
• 38:51
  Met
• 38:52
  fans
• 38:52
  who
• 38:52
  were
• 38:52
  kind
• 38:52
  of
• 38:52
  rooting
• 38:53
  for
• 38:53
  a
• 38:53
  no
• 38:53
  hitter.
• 38:53
  So
• 38:54
  you
• 38:54
  had
• 38:54
  the
• 38:54
  Met
• 38:54
  fans
• 38:54
  rooting
• 38:55
  for
• 38:55
  the
• 38:55
  no
• 38:55
  hitter.
• 38:56
  And
• 38:56
  then
• 38:56
  you
• 38:56
  have
• 38:56
  the
• 38:56
  other
• 38:56
  people
• 38:57
  who
• 38:57
  were
• 38:57
  just
• 38:57
  dying
• 38:57
  to
• 38:58
  break
• 38:58
  it
• 38:58
  up.
• 38:58
  Right.
• 38:59
  And
• 38:59
  listen,
• 39:00
  if
• 39:00
  you've
• 39:00
  gotten
• 39:00
  that
• 39:00
  far
• 39:01
  and
• 39:01
  your
• 39:01
  team's
• 39:01
  down
• 39:01
  for
• 39:02
  nothing,
• 39:03
  I'd
• 39:03
  love
• 39:03
  to
• 39:03
  see
• 39:04
  history.
• 39:04
  Of
• 39:04
  course.
• 39:05
  And.
• 39:05
  And
• 39:06
  not
• 39:06
  to
• 39:06
  interrupt
• 39:06
  you,
• 39:06
  but,
• 39:07
  I
• 39:07
  mean,
• 39:07
  seriously.
• 39:08
  Yeah.
• 39:09
  And
• 39:09
  it's
• 39:10
  not
• 39:10
  as
• 39:10
  if
• 39:11
  this
• 39:11
  team
• 39:13
  has
• 39:13
  been
• 39:13
  playing
• 39:14
  a
• 39:14
  certain
• 39:14
  way
• 39:15
  to
• 39:15
  where
• 39:15
  you're
• 39:15
  like,
• 39:15
  you
• 39:15
  know
• 39:16
  what?
• 39:17
  They're
• 39:17
  sharp.
• 39:18
  They're
• 39:18
  just
• 39:19
  having
• 39:19
  a
• 39:19
  down
• 39:19
  moment.
• 39:19
  They're
• 39:20
  going
• 39:20
  to
• 39:20
  continue
• 39:20
  to
• 39:20
  fight.
• 39:21
  They'll.
• 39:22
  It
• 39:22
  wasn't.
• 39:23
  It
• 39:23
  was
• 39:23
  not
• 39:23
  as.
• 39:23
  Yeah.
• 39:24
  It
• 39:24
  was
• 39:24
  not
• 39:24
  as
• 39:24
  if
• 39:24
  I
• 39:25
  felt
• 39:25
  I
• 39:25
  was
• 39:25
  going
• 39:25
  against
• 39:26
  my
• 39:26
  Met
• 39:26
  fandom
• 39:27
  saying.
• 39:27
  I
• 39:28
  mean,
• 39:28
  I
• 39:28
  literally
• 39:28
  thought
• 39:29
  they
• 39:29
  got
• 39:29
  no
• 39:29
  shot
• 39:30
  to
• 39:30
  win
• 39:30
  this
• 39:30
  game.
• 39:30
  Nothing.
• 39:31
  So
• 39:31
  why
• 39:31
  not
• 39:31
  see
• 39:31
  some
• 39:31
  history?
• 39:32
  Yeah.
• 39:32
  It
• 39:32
  wasn't
• 39:32
  like
• 39:32
  it
• 39:32
  was
• 39:32
  one
• 39:32
  nothing.
• 39:33
  No.
• 39:33
  You
• 39:33
  know,
• 39:34
  and
• 39:34
  then,
• 39:34
  like,
• 39:34
  you
• 39:35
  know,
• 39:35
  you
• 39:35
  could
• 39:35
  see
• 39:35
  a
• 39:35
  guy
• 39:36
  come
• 39:36
  up
• 39:36
  to
• 39:36
  the
• 39:36
  plate,
• 39:37
  and
• 39:37
  it
• 39:37
  was
• 39:37
  almost
• 39:37
  like,
• 39:38
  you
• 39:39
  know,
• 39:39
  someone
• 39:39
  was
• 39:39
  thinking
• 39:40
  early
• 39:40
  in
• 39:40
  the
• 39:41
  game,
• 39:41
  you
• 39:41
  know,
• 39:42
  not
• 39:42
  the
• 39:42
  ninth
• 39:42
  inning
• 39:42
  of
• 39:43
  possibly
• 39:43
  laying
• 39:43
  down
• 39:43
  a
• 39:44
  bunch,
• 39:44
  and
• 39:44
  it
• 39:44
  was
• 39:44
  like,
• 39:44
  oh,
• 39:45
  boy,
• 39:45
  you
• 39:45
  can't
• 39:45
  do
• 39:46
  that.
• 39:46
  And
• 39:47
  it
• 39:47
  just
• 39:47
  got
• 39:47
  to
• 39:47
  that
• 39:47
  last
• 39:48
  inning,
• 39:48
  and
• 39:48
  I
• 39:48
  was
• 39:48
  rooting
• 39:49
  for
• 39:49
  it,
• 39:49
  and
• 39:49
  I.
• 39:50
  And,
• 39:50
  you
• 39:50
  know,
• 39:50
  I
• 39:50
  think
• 39:50
  you
• 39:50
  had
• 39:51
  said
• 39:51
  to
• 39:51
  me
• 39:51
  you
• 39:51
  thought
• 39:51
  maybe
• 39:52
  it
• 39:52
  would
• 39:52
  come
• 39:52
  up
• 39:52
  to.
• 39:52
  Well,
• 39:53
  I.
• 39:53
  Alonzo
• 39:54
  hitting
• 39:54
  the
• 39:54
  game.
• 39:54
  I
• 39:55
  didn't
• 39:55
  want
• 39:55
  to
• 39:55
  say
• 39:55
  anything.
• 39:56
  I
• 39:56
  shot.
• 39:56
  I
• 39:56
  shot
• 39:57
  you
• 39:57
  a
• 39:57
  text.
• 39:57
  I
• 39:58
  said.
• 39:58
  I
• 39:58
  said,
• 39:59
  they're
• 39:59
  going
• 39:59
  to
• 39:59
  get
• 39:59
  two
• 39:59
  out,
• 40:00
  and
• 40:00
  then.
• 40:00
  And
• 40:00
  then
• 40:01
  Pete's
• 40:01
  going
• 40:01
  to
• 40:01
  hit
• 40:01
  a
• 40:01
  home
• 40:01
  run.
• 40:02
  It
• 40:02
  wound
• 40:02
  up
• 40:02
  being
• 40:02
  one
• 40:02
  Out.
• 40:03
  And
• 40:03
  Soto.
• 40:04
  But.
• 40:04
  So
• 40:04
  Soto
• 40:04
  hits
• 40:05
  the
• 40:05
  home
• 40:05
  run.
• 40:05
  All
• 40:05
  right,
• 40:05
  but
• 40:06
  I
• 40:06
  want
• 40:06
  to
• 40:06
  go
• 40:06
  ahead.
• 40:07
  So
• 40:07
  I'd
• 40:07
  like
• 40:08
  to
• 40:08
  rewind
• 40:08
  just
• 40:09
  a
• 40:09
  second
• 40:09
  with
• 40:09
  that
• 40:10
  and
• 40:10
  I.
• 40:12
  This
• 40:12
  is
• 40:12
  something
• 40:12
  a
• 40:13
  guy
• 40:13
  like
• 40:13
  Mickey
• 40:13
  Calloway,
• 40:14
  I
• 40:14
  would
• 40:14
  have
• 40:14
  loved
• 40:14
  to
• 40:14
  ask
• 40:15
  them
• 40:15
  and
• 40:15
  maybe
• 40:15
  next
• 40:16
  time
• 40:16
  I
• 40:16
  will.
• 40:16
  I
• 40:17
  kind
• 40:17
  of
• 40:17
  alluded
• 40:18
  to
• 40:18
  it
• 40:18
  about
• 40:18
  getting
• 40:18
  into
• 40:19
  guys.
• 40:20
  So.
• 40:20
  All
• 40:20
  right,
• 40:21
  Soto
• 40:21
  is
• 40:21
  Soto
• 40:22
  one.
• 40:22
  He's
• 40:23
  got
• 40:23
  this
• 40:23
  incredible
• 40:24
  contract.
• 40:24
  Whatever
• 40:25
  else,
• 40:25
  but
• 40:25
  he
• 40:26
  is.
• 40:26
  He's
• 40:26
  the
• 40:26
  highest
• 40:27
  paid
• 40:27
  player.
• 40:27
  Yeah.
• 40:28
  Now
• 40:28
  he
• 40:28
  has.
• 40:29
  He
• 40:30
  might
• 40:30
  not
• 40:30
  be
• 40:30
  the
• 40:30
  greatest
• 40:31
  leader.
• 40:31
  It
• 40:31
  doesn't
• 40:32
  seem
• 40:32
  that
• 40:32
  way.
• 40:33
  He
• 40:33
  probably
• 40:33
  didn't
• 40:34
  sign
• 40:34
  up
• 40:34
  for
• 40:34
  that.
• 40:35
  And
• 40:35
  maybe
• 40:36
  his
• 40:36
  contract
• 40:36
  10
• 40:37
  years
• 40:37
  from
• 40:37
  now
• 40:37
  will
• 40:37
  be
• 40:38
  a
• 40:38
  bargain.
• 40:39
  But
• 40:39
  you
• 40:39
  cannot
• 40:40
  have
• 40:40
  that
• 40:41
  type
• 40:41
  of
• 40:41
  guy.
• 40:41
  And
• 40:41
  let's
• 40:42
  just
• 40:42
  take
• 40:42
  his

  and
• 41:09
  now
• 41:09
  we're
• 41:10
  talking
• 41:10
  about
• 41:10
  a
• 41:10
  team
• 41:11
  with
• 41:11
  no
• 41:11
  life.
• 41:12
  There
• 41:12
  you
• 41:12
  go.
• 41:13
  Yeah.
• 41:13
  And
• 41:14
  I
• 41:14
  understand
• 41:14
  at
• 41:15
  times,
• 41:15
  you
• 41:16
  know,
• 41:16
  it's
• 41:16
  seven
• 41:16
  nothing
• 41:17
  in
• 41:17
  the
• 41:17
  ninth
• 41:17
  inning,
• 41:17
  a
• 41:17
  ground
• 41:17
  ball
• 41:18
  to
• 41:18
  third.
• 41:18
  I
• 41:18
  don't
• 41:19
  want
• 41:19
  him
• 41:19
  pulling,
• 41:20
  doing
• 41:20
  that.
• 41:20
  Of
• 41:21
  course,
• 41:21
  but
• 41:21
  I
• 41:21
  mean,
• 41:22
  mid
• 41:22
  fifth.
• 41:22
  Yeah,

  he's,
• 41:23
  he's
• 41:24
  just
• 41:24
  chilling
• 41:25
  going
• 41:25
  down
• 41:26
  that.
• 41:26
  So
• 41:26
  when
• 41:26
  we
• 41:27
  talk
• 41:27
  about
• 41:27
  the
• 41:27
  difference
• 41:28
  of
• 41:28
  a
• 41:28
  team
• 41:28
  last
• 41:28
  year
• 41:29
  that
• 41:29
  had
• 41:29
  spunk,
• 41:30
  the.
• 41:30
  Oh
• 41:30
  my
• 41:31
  God,
• 41:31
  the
• 41:31
  grimace
• 41:32
  like
• 41:33
  now,
• 41:34
  can
• 41:34
  you
• 41:34
  blame
• 41:35
  it
• 41:35
  on
• 41:35
  one
• 41:35
  guy?
• 41:35
  No,
• 41:36
  you
• 41:36
  can't
• 41:36
  blame
• 41:36
  it
• 41:36
  on
• 41:37
  one
• 41:37
  guy.
• 41:37
  But
• 41:38
  man,
• 41:38
  there's
• 41:39
  a
• 41:39
  lot
• 41:39
  to
• 41:39
  do
• 41:39
  with
• 41:40
  it
• 41:40
  when,
• 41:41
  when
• 41:41
  you
• 41:41
  add
• 41:41
  a
• 41:42
  talent
• 41:42
  like
• 41:42
  that,
• 41:43
  but
• 41:43
  they
• 41:43
  bring
• 41:43
  you
• 41:44
  nothing
• 41:44
  in
• 41:44
  terms
• 41:44
  of
• 41:45
  the
• 41:45
  intangibles
• 41:45
  of
• 41:45
  the
• 41:46
  game.
• 41:46
  So

• 42:27
  to
• 42:27
  make
• 42:27
  the

• 42:28
  because

  I

  know
• 42:45
  if

  anybody's
• 42:45
  getting
• 42:45
  on

  them
• 42:46
  for
• 42:46
  the
• 42:46
  way
• 42:46
  that
• 42:47
  they're
• 42:47
  playing.
• 42:47
  And
• 42:48
  I
• 42:48
  know
• 42:49
  that
• 42:49
  in
• 42:49
  years
• 42:49
  past,
• 42:53
  other
• 42:53
  managers
• 42:54
  may
• 42:54
  have
• 42:54
  dealt
• 42:54
  with
• 42:54
  this.
• 42:55
  So
• 42:55
  we're
• 42:56
  going
• 42:56
  to
• 42:56
  go
• 42:56
  back
• 42:56
  to,
• 42:57
  you
• 42:57
  know,
• 42:57
  a
• 42:57
  couple
• 42:57
  of
• 42:58
  years
• 42:58
  back
• 42:58
  when
• 42:59
  after
• 42:59
  a
• 43:00
  9
• 43:00
  nothing
• 43:00
  loss
• 43:00
  to
• 43:01
  the
• 43:01
  Arizona
• 43:01
  Diamondbacks,
• 43:02
  Terry
• 43:03
  Collins
• 43:03
  came

  and

• 43:05
  Play
• 43:05
  the
• 43:06
  game
• 43:06
  correctly.
• 43:09
  And
• 43:09
  we're
• 43:09
  all
• 43:09
  responsible,
• 43:10
  Every
• 43:10
  single
• 43:10
  one
• 43:10
  of
• 43:11
  us.
• 43:11
  The
• 43:11
  coaches,
• 43:12
  me,
• 43:12
  the
• 43:13
  player.
• 43:13
  We're
• 43:13
  all
• 43:14
  in
• 43:14
  this
• 43:14
  together.
• 43:14
  There's
• 43:15
  no
• 43:15
  one
• 43:15
  guy
• 43:15
  to
• 43:15
  blame.
• 43:16
  There's
• 43:16
  no
• 43:16
  one
• 43:17
  guy
• 43:17
  to
• 43:17
  point
• 43:17
  a
• 43:17
  finger
• 43:17
  at.
• 43:18
  I
• 43:18
  don't
• 43:18
  do
• 43:18
  that.
• 43:19
  I
• 43:19
  have
• 43:19
  never
• 43:20
  done
• 43:20
  that.
• 43:21
  Never.
• 43:22
  I
• 43:22
  am
• 43:22
  a
• 43:22
  team
• 43:22
  guy.
• 43:23
  I
• 43:23
  believe
• 43:24
  in
• 43:24
  team
• 43:25
  just
• 43:25
  as
• 43:25
  you
• 43:25
  guys
• 43:26
  do.
• 43:26
  You
• 43:26
  write
• 43:26
  a
• 43:26
  bad
• 43:27
  story,
• 43:27
  it's
• 43:28
  about
• 43:28
  the
• 43:28
  paper.
• 43:29
  It's
• 43:29
  about
• 43:29
  where
• 43:30
  you
• 43:30
  came
• 43:30
  from.
• 43:30
  Everybody's
• 43:31
  in
• 43:31
  it.
• 43:32
  And
• 43:32
  I
• 43:32
  believe
• 43:33
  that
• 43:33
  today's
• 43:34
  game,
• 43:34
  it's
• 43:34
  going
• 43:34
  to
• 43:35
  happen
• 43:35
  again.
• 43:35
  But
• 43:36
  I
• 43:36
  know
• 43:36
  one
• 43:36
  thing.
• 43:36
  Starting
• 43:37
  tomorrow,
• 43:37
  we're
• 43:37
  back
• 43:37
  fresh.
• 43:38
  Starting
• 43:39
  tomorrow,
• 43:39
  we're
• 43:40
  going
• 43:40
  to
• 43:40
  get
• 43:40
  after
• 43:40
  it
• 43:40
  here.
• 43:41
  And
• 43:41
  those
• 43:42
  who
• 43:42
  don't
• 43:42
  want
• 43:42
  to
• 43:42
  get
• 43:42
  after
• 43:43
  it,
• 43:43
  I
• 43:43
  will
• 43:43
  find
• 43:43
  somebody
• 43:44
  else
• 43:44
  who
• 43:44
  does.
• 43:45
  Because
• 43:45
  in
• 43:45
  Las
• 43:46
  Vegas,
• 43:46
  there's
• 43:46
  a
• 43:47
  whole.
• 43:47
  Clubhouse
• 43:47
  full
• 43:48
  of
• 43:48
  guys
• 43:48
  who
• 43:48
  want
• 43:48
  to.
• 43:48
  Sit
• 43:48
  in
• 43:49
  this
• 43:49
  room,
• 43:49
  and
• 43:49
  I'll
• 43:49
  find
• 43:50
  them.
• 43:51
  That's
• 43:52
  all
• 43:52
  I
• 43:52
  got
• 43:52
  to
• 43:52
  say.
• 43:52
  I'm
• 43:53
  done.
• 43:54
  Now,
• 43:54
  that's
• 43:54
  leadership.
• 43:56
  Does
• 43:57
  Carlos
• 43:58
  Mendoza
• 43:59
  need
• 43:59
  to
• 43:59
  do
• 43:59
  something
• 44:00
  like
• 44:00
  that?
• 44:00
  Or
• 44:01
  is
• 44:01
  it
• 44:02
  Mickey
• 44:02
  Calloway
• 44:03
  saying,
• 44:03
  you
• 44:03
  got
• 44:04
  to
• 44:04
  stay
• 44:04
  positive.
• 44:04
  You
• 44:05
  got
• 44:05
  to
• 44:05
  stay
• 44:05
  positive?
• 44:06
  And
• 44:07
  that's
• 44:07
  what.
• 44:07
  I
• 44:07
  didn't
• 44:07
  name
• 44:08
  one
• 44:08
  name.
• 44:08
  No,
• 44:08
  he
• 44:08
  didn't.
• 44:09
  He
• 44:09
  did
• 44:09
  not
• 44:09
  name
• 44:09
  one
• 44:10
  person.
• 44:10
  But
• 44:10
  he
• 44:11
  showed
• 44:11
  that
• 44:11
  he.
• 44:12
  That
• 44:12
  he
• 44:12
  cares
• 44:13
  in
• 44:14
  that
• 44:14
  clip
• 44:14
  and
• 44:14
  that
• 44:14
  he's
• 44:15
  as
• 44:15
  passionate.
• 44:16
  Now
• 44:17
  you.
• 44:17
  I
• 44:18
  think
• 44:18
  that's.
• 44:18
  That's
• 44:19
  a
• 44:19
  masterclass
• 44:20
  right
• 44:20
  there
• 44:20
  on
• 44:21
  being
• 44:21
  the
• 44:21
  leader,
• 44:22
  taking
• 44:22
  the
• 44:23
  hits,
• 44:24
  not
• 44:24
  naming
• 44:25
  guys,
• 44:25
  but
• 44:26
  saying,
• 44:26
  hey,
• 44:26
  look,
• 44:26
  you
• 44:27
  know
• 44:27
  where
• 44:28
  I'm
• 44:28
  responsible.
• 44:29
  Yes.
• 44:29
  That's
• 44:29
  what
• 44:29
  he's
• 44:30
  coaching
• 44:30
  me.
• 44:31
  Yes.
• 44:31
  Yeah.
• 44:32
  And
• 44:32
  tomorrow
• 44:33
  we're
• 44:33
  going
• 44:33
  to
• 44:33
  come
• 44:33
  out
• 44:33
  and
• 44:34
  play
• 44:34
  hard
• 44:34
  and
• 44:34
  if
• 44:34
  you
• 44:35
  don't,
• 44:35
  you
• 44:35
  know,
• 44:36
  hit
• 44:36
  the
• 44:36
  road.
• 44:37
  And
• 44:39
  I
• 44:39
  don't
• 44:40
  know
• 44:40
  Carlos
• 44:40
  Mendoza,
• 44:41
  I've
• 44:41
  never
• 44:41
  met
• 44:41
  the
• 44:42
  man.
• 44:43
  You
• 44:43
  know,
• 44:43
  he's
• 44:44
  had
• 44:44
  some
• 44:44
  interesting
• 44:45
  streaks
• 44:45
  as
• 44:45
  a
• 44:45
  manager.
• 44:46
  Very
• 44:46
  streaky.
• 44:47
  You
• 44:48
  don't
• 44:48
  get
• 44:48
  this
• 44:48
  job.
• 44:48
  And
• 44:49
  you're
• 44:49
  not
• 44:49
  a
• 44:49
  Yankee
• 44:50
  bench
• 44:50
  coach
• 44:50
  for.
• 44:51
  If
• 44:51
  you
• 44:51
  don't
• 44:51
  know
• 44:51
  the
• 44:52
  game
• 44:52
  well,
• 44:52
  I'm
• 44:52
  rooting
• 44:53
  for
• 44:53
  him.
• 44:53
  I
• 44:53
  hope
• 44:53
  he
• 44:54
  does
• 44:54
  well.
• 44:54
  But
• 44:55
  I
• 44:55
  think
• 44:55
  the
• 44:55
  time
• 44:55
  comes,
• 44:56
  you
• 44:56
  don't
• 44:56
  even
• 44:56
  have
• 44:56
  to
• 44:56
  be
• 44:56
  that
• 44:57
  passionate.
• 44:58
  Just
• 44:58
  come
• 44:58
  out
• 44:58
  and
• 44:58
  say,
• 44:59
  hey,
• 44:59
  look,
• 44:59
  I
• 44:59
  realize
• 45:00
  that
• 45:00
  we
• 45:00
  stink
• 45:01
  and
• 45:01
  that,
• 45:02
  you
• 45:02
  know,
• 45:02
  not.
• 45:03
  We're
• 45:03
  gonna
• 45:04
  find
• 45:04
  a
• 45:04
  way.
• 45:05
  No.
• 45:05
  Get
• 45:06
  a
• 45:06
  little
• 45:06
  zip
• 45:06
  under
• 45:06
  you.
• 45:07
  Yeah.
• 45:07
  It's
• 45:07
  hard
• 45:07
  to
• 45:08
  describe.
• 45:08
  Tough,
• 45:08
  frustrating,
• 45:09
  but
• 45:09
  we've
• 45:09
  got
• 45:09
  to
• 45:10
  turn
• 45:10
  the
• 45:10
  page.
• 45:10
  Oh,
• 45:11
  gosh.
• 45:11
  There
• 45:11
  wasn't
• 45:12
  a
• 45:12
  good
• 45:12
  showing,
• 45:12
  and
• 45:13
  they
• 45:13
  pretty
• 45:13
  much
• 45:13
  outplayed
• 45:14
  us,
• 45:14
  you
• 45:14
  know,
• 45:14
  and
• 45:15
  when
• 45:15
  we
• 45:15
  do.
• 45:16
  When
• 45:16
  we.
• 45:17
  When
• 45:17
  we
• 45:17
  ask
• 45:17
  about
• 45:18
  Frankie
• 45:18
  Matas,
• 45:19
  we
• 45:19
  haven't
• 45:19
  made
• 45:19
  a
• 45:19
  decision
• 45:19
  yet
• 45:20
  as
• 45:20
  of
• 45:20
  now.
• 45:20
  We,
• 45:21
  you
• 45:21
  know,
• 45:21
  we
• 45:21
  think.
• 45:21
  And
• 45:22
  I
• 45:22
  get
• 45:22
  now,
• 45:22
  like,

• 45:23
  I
• 45:23
  understand.
• 45:23
  Strong
• 45:24
  with
• 45:24
  that.
• 45:24
  You.

  You

• 45:25
  to
• 45:25
  step
• 45:26
  up
• 45:26
  at
• 45:26
  some
• 45:26
  point
• 45:27
  and
• 45:27
  say
• 45:28

• 45:29
  way
• 45:29
  of

  losing
• 45:31
  a

• 46:35
  We

  have,
• 46:35
  like,
• 46:35
  a
• 46:35
  yearly
• 46:36
  ritual.
• 46:36
  We
• 46:36
  post
• 46:37
  that
• 46:37
  every
• 46:37
  single
• 46:37
  year
• 46:37
  with

  the

  capture.

  Mark

  I

  contest

  with
• 46:40
  each
• 46:40
  other
• 46:40
  to
• 46:41
  see
• 46:41
  how
• 46:41
  many
• 46:41
  impressions
• 46:42
  that
• 46:42
  clip
• 46:43
  gets
• 46:43
  year
• 46:43
  over
• 46:43
  year.
• 46:43
  Every
• 46:44
  single
• 46:44
  year,
• 46:44
  the
• 46:44
  Mets
• 46:44
  fans
• 46:44
  are
• 46:45
  like,
• 46:45
  this
• 46:45
  is
• 46:45
  exactly
• 46:45
  what
• 46:45
  we
• 46:45
  want.
• 46:46
  No,
• 46:46
  all
• 46:47
  he
• 46:47
  said
• 46:47
  today
• 46:47
  was,
• 46:47
  we're
• 46:48
  very
• 46:48
  frustrated,
• 46:48
  but
• 46:48
  we've
• 46:49
  got
• 46:49
  to
• 46:49
  keep
• 46:49
  going.
• 46:50
  Nobody
• 46:50
  said
• 46:50
  it
• 46:50
  was
• 46:51
  going
• 46:51
  to
• 46:51
  be
• 46:51
  easy.
• 46:51
  Those
• 46:52
  quotes
• 46:52
  come
• 46:53
  every
• 46:53
  day
• 46:53
  from
• 46:53
  Carlos
• 46:54
  Mendoza.
• 46:54
  Yeah.
• 46:55
  The
• 46:56
  one
• 46:56
  thing
• 46:56
  about
• 46:56
  the
• 46:57
  fact
• 46:57
  that
• 46:57
  there's
• 46:57
  no
• 46:57
  fire
• 46:58
  now,
• 46:58
  it
• 46:59
  does
• 46:59
  give
• 46:59
  me
• 46:59
  a
• 46:59
  little
• 47:00
  bit
• 47:00
  more
• 47:00
  confidence
• 47:00
  that
• 47:01
  he's
• 47:01
  never
• 47:01
  a
• 47:02
  fire
• 47:02
  guy.
• 47:02
  So
• 47:03
  it'd
• 47:03
  be
• 47:03
  even
• 47:03
  crazier
• 47:04
  if,
• 47:04
  especially
• 47:05
  to
• 47:05
  the
• 47:05
  media,
• 47:05
  if
• 47:05
  suddenly
• 47:06
  the
• 47:06
  Fire
• 47:06
  came
• 47:06
  out.
• 47:07
  I'm
• 47:07
  just
• 47:07
  worried
• 47:08
  about
• 47:08
  whether
• 47:08
  or
• 47:08
  not.
• 47:08
  And
• 47:08
  we
• 47:09
  can't
• 47:09
  know
• 47:09
  this
• 47:09
  and
• 47:09
  I
• 47:09
  guess
• 47:10
  we'll
• 47:10
  know
• 47:10
  tomorrow
• 47:10
  when
• 47:10
  the
• 47:10
  writers
• 47:11
  put
• 47:11
  some
• 47:11
  articles
• 47:12
  out.
• 47:12
  But
• 47:12
  about
• 47:12
  fire
• 47:13
  that
• 47:13
  could
• 47:13
  be
• 47:13
  inside
• 47:14
  the
• 47:14
  clubhouse.
• 47:14
  Like,
• 47:14
  I
• 47:15
  think
• 47:15
  no
• 47:15
  matter
• 47:15
  what,
• 47:15
  like,
• 47:15
  I'm
• 47:16
  fine
• 47:16
  with
• 47:16
  these
• 47:16
  guys
• 47:16
  not
• 47:16
  blowing
• 47:17
  up
• 47:17
  on
• 47:17
  the
• 47:17
  media
• 47:17
  because
• 47:18
  this
• 47:18
  is.
• 47:18
  They've
• 47:18
  never
• 47:18
  been,
• 47:19
  they've
• 47:20
  never
• 47:20
  been
• 47:20
  anything
• 47:20
  besides
• 47:21
  like
• 47:21
  cordial
• 47:21
  with
• 47:21
  the
• 47:22
  media,
• 47:22
  like,
• 47:22
  friendly,
• 47:22
  nice.
• 47:22
  I
• 47:23
  think
• 47:23
  like
• 47:23
  Mendoza
• 47:23
  and
• 47:23
  like
• 47:24
  Stearns
• 47:24
  especially,
• 47:24
  like
• 47:25
  they
• 47:25
  have
• 47:25
  their
• 47:25
  own
• 47:25
  little
• 47:26
  like
• 47:26
  rapport
• 47:26
  with
• 47:26
  the
• 47:27
  media.
• 47:27
  There
• 47:28
  just
• 47:28
  needs
• 47:28
  to
• 47:28
  be
• 47:28
  some
• 47:28
  report
• 47:28
  of
• 47:29
  someone
• 47:29
  inside
• 47:29
  that
• 47:29
  room
• 47:30
  saying
• 47:30
  or
• 47:30
  doing
• 47:31
  something
• 47:31
  because
• 47:31
  it's
• 47:31
  like
• 47:31
  it
• 47:32
  has
• 47:32
  to
• 47:32
  be.
• 47:32
  Whether
• 47:33
  it
• 47:33
  be
• 47:33
  Mendoza
• 47:33
  or
• 47:34
  Lindor,
• 47:34
  Alonzo,
• 47:35
  Nimoso,
• 47:35
  and
• 47:36
  someone
• 47:36
  has
• 47:36
  to
• 47:36
  just
• 47:37
  open
• 47:37
  their
• 47:37
  mouths
• 47:37
  and
• 47:37
  be
• 47:38
  like,
• 47:38
  we
• 47:38
  have
• 47:38
  to
• 47:38
  get
• 47:38
  some
• 47:38
  of
• 47:38
  these
• 47:38
  things
• 47:38
  out
• 47:39
  in
• 47:39
  the
• 47:39
  air
• 47:39
  right
• 47:39
  now
• 47:39
  because
• 47:39
  there's
• 47:40
  no,
• 47:40
  there's
• 47:40
  no
• 47:41
  cohesion
• 47:41
  with
• 47:41
  this
• 47:41
  roster.
• 47:42
  It's
• 47:42
  just
• 47:42
  completely
• 47:43
  empty
• 47:43
  on
• 47:43
  the
• 47:43
  field.
• 47:43
  It's
• 47:44
  ridiculous.
• 47:45
  Yeah.
• 47:45
  And
• 47:45
  before
• 47:45
  we
• 47:46
  get
• 47:46
  into
• 47:46
  numbers,
• 47:47
  just
• 47:47
  the
• 47:47
  team
• 47:48
  in
• 47:48
  general,
• 47:48
  you
• 47:49
  know,
• 47:49
  a
• 47:50
  lot
• 47:50
  of
• 47:50
  people
• 47:50
  say,
• 47:50
  oh,
• 47:50
  it's
• 47:51
  rock
• 47:51
  bottom.
• 47:51
  And
• 47:52
  it
• 47:52
  like,
• 47:52
  it
• 47:53
  just
• 47:53
  happens
• 47:53
  a
• 47:53
  different
• 47:54
  way
• 47:54
  every
• 47:54
  time.
• 47:55
  Is
• 47:55
  this
• 47:55
  just
• 47:56
  a
• 47:56
  matter
• 47:56
  of
• 47:57
  things
• 47:57
  kind
• 47:58
  of
• 47:58
  going
• 47:58
  down
• 47:58
  a
• 47:59
  bad
• 47:59
  path
• 47:59
  and
• 47:59
  maybe
• 48:00
  things
• 48:00
  change
• 48:00
  at
• 48:01
  some
• 48:01
  point
• 48:02
  or
• 48:02
  is
• 48:02
  there
• 48:03
  major
• 48:03
  because
• 48:03
  I'm
• 48:03
  not
• 48:04
  a
• 48:04
  big,
• 48:04
  you
• 48:04
  know,
• 48:05
  Juan
• 48:06
  Soto's
• 48:06
  not
• 48:06
  not
• 48:07
  allowed
• 48:07
  to
• 48:07
  have
• 48:07
  a
• 48:07
  laugh
• 48:08
  in
• 48:08
  the,
• 48:08
  in
• 48:08
  the
• 48:09
  dugout
• 48:09
  with
• 48:09
  Tyrone
• 48:10
  Taylor.
• 48:10
  To
• 48:10
  see
• 48:10
  them
• 48:11
  smile
• 48:11
  while
• 48:11
  the
• 48:11
  Mets
• 48:12
  are
• 48:12
  on
• 48:12
  a
• 48:12
  seven
• 48:12
  game
• 48:13
  losing
• 48:13
  streak
• 48:13
  is
• 48:13
  bad.
• 48:14
  I'm
• 48:14
  not
• 48:14
  for
• 48:14
  that.
• 48:14
  You
• 48:15
  know,
• 48:15
  it's
• 48:15
  okay
• 48:15
  to
• 48:15
  still
• 48:15
  be
• 48:16
  a
• 48:16
  human
• 48:16
  being,
• 48:16
  but
• 48:17
  is
• 48:17
  it
• 48:17
  at
• 48:17
  the
• 48:18
  point
• 48:18
  where
• 48:18
  it's
• 48:19
  just
• 48:19
  so
• 48:19
  bad
• 48:19
  it's
• 48:20
  never
• 48:20
  going
• 48:20
  to
• 48:20
  turn
• 48:20
  around
• 48:20
  again?
• 48:21
  Or
• 48:21
  do
• 48:21
  you
• 48:21
  think
• 48:22
  that,
• 48:22
  you
• 48:22
  know,
• 48:23
  it's
• 48:23
  just
• 48:23
  a
• 48:24
  law
• 48:24
  of
• 48:24
  averages?
• 48:25
  I
• 48:26
  mean,
• 48:26
  it
• 48:26
  feels
• 48:26
  like
• 48:26
  a
• 48:26
  little
• 48:26
  bit
• 48:26
  of
• 48:26
  both.
• 48:27
  Right?
• 48:27
  Like,
• 48:27
  it's
• 48:27
  kind
• 48:27
  of
• 48:27
  fair
• 48:28
  to
• 48:28
  think
• 48:28
  it
• 48:28
  would
• 48:28
  be
• 48:28
  both.
• 48:28
  I
• 48:29
  think
• 48:29
  the
• 48:29
  Mets
• 48:29
  have
• 48:29
  had
• 48:30
  some
• 48:31
  in
• 48:31
  terms
• 48:31
  of
• 48:31
  like
• 48:31
  the
• 48:31
  expectations,
• 48:32
  the
• 48:32
  player,
• 48:32
  this
• 48:32
  team,
• 48:33
  the
• 48:33
  players
• 48:33
  on
• 48:33
  this
• 48:34
  team,
• 48:34
  definitely
• 48:34
  a
• 48:34
  lot
• 48:34
  of
• 48:35
  bad
• 48:35
  results.
• 48:35
  Things
• 48:35
  that
• 48:36
  they
• 48:36
  were
• 48:36
  like,
• 48:36
  this
• 48:36
  is
• 48:36
  turning
• 48:36
  out
• 48:36
  worse
• 48:37
  than
• 48:37
  we
• 48:37
  thought
• 48:37
  it
• 48:37
  was
• 48:37
  going
• 48:38
  to.
• 48:38
  And
• 48:38
  then
• 48:38
  also
• 48:39
  just
• 48:39
  a
• 48:39
  few
• 48:39
  injuries.
• 48:39
  Every
• 48:40
  team
• 48:40
  has
• 48:40
  injuries.
• 48:40
  Every
• 48:40
  team
• 48:41
  has
• 48:41
  guys
• 48:41
  that
• 48:41
  don't,
• 48:42
  you
• 48:42
  know,
• 48:42
  play
• 48:42
  up
• 48:43
  to
• 48:43
  their
• 48:43
  standards
• 48:43
  in
• 48:43
  particular
• 48:44
  the
• 48:44
  year.
• 48:44
  But
• 48:44
  just
• 48:44
  the
• 48:44
  fact
• 48:45
  that
• 48:45
  like
• 48:45
  you
• 48:45
  guys
• 48:45
  said
• 48:46
  right
• 48:46
  before
• 48:46
  I
• 48:46
  got
• 48:46
  on,
• 48:47
  every
• 48:47
  single
• 48:47
  guy
• 48:48
  is
• 48:48
  having
• 48:49
  their,
• 48:49
  one
• 48:49
  of
• 48:49
  their
• 48:49
  worst
• 48:49
  stretches
• 48:50
  of
• 48:50
  the
• 48:50
  season
• 48:50
  at
• 48:50
  the
• 48:50
  same
• 48:51
  time.
• 48:51
  But
• 48:51
  it
• 48:51
  happens
• 48:51
  to
• 48:51
  be
• 48:52
  two
• 48:52
  months.
• 48:52
  So
• 48:52
  it's
• 48:52
  like
• 48:52
  it's
• 48:53
  not
• 48:53
  really
• 48:53
  the
• 48:53
  same
• 48:53
  time.
• 48:53
  It's
• 48:54
  more
• 48:54
  just
• 48:54
  like
• 48:54
  there's
• 48:55
  a
• 48:55
  good
• 48:55
  group
• 48:55
  coldness.
• 48:56
  There's.
• 48:56
  I
• 48:56
  don't
• 48:56
  know,
• 48:57
  it's
• 48:57
  hard.
• 48:57
  I
• 48:57
  mean,
• 48:57
  you
• 48:58
  guys
• 48:58
  watch
• 48:58
  it
• 48:58
  every
• 48:58
  day.
• 48:58
  It's
• 48:58
  hard
• 48:58
  to
• 48:59
  explain.
• 48:59
  Like,
• 48:59
  you
• 48:59
  watch
• 48:59
  a
• 48:59
  baseball
• 49:00
  team
• 49:00
  lose
• 49:00
  confidence,
• 49:00
  you
• 49:01
  can't
• 49:01
  really
• 49:01
  describe
• 49:01
  it,
• 49:01
  but
• 49:01
  you
• 49:02
  can
• 49:02
  see
• 49:02
  it
• 49:02
  very
• 49:02
  clearly,
• 49:02
  like
• 49:03
  visibly.
• 49:03
  That's
• 49:03
  what
• 49:04
  this
• 49:04
  weekend
• 49:04
  felt
• 49:05
  like.
• 49:06
  I'm
• 49:06
  not
• 49:06
  a
• 49:06
  make
• 49:07
  change
• 49:07
  for
• 49:07
  change
• 49:08
  sake
• 49:08
  guy.
• 49:09
  It's
• 49:09
  just
• 49:09
  not
• 49:09
  in
• 49:09
  my
• 49:10
  nature
• 49:10
  as
• 49:10
  well.
• 49:10
  And
• 49:11
  you
• 49:11
  know,
• 49:12
  I
• 49:12
  don't
• 49:12
  like
• 49:12
  seeing
• 49:13
  people
• 49:13
  fired
• 49:13
  or
• 49:13
  whatever
• 49:14
  else.
• 49:14
  But
• 49:15
  do
• 49:15
  you
• 49:15
  think
• 49:15
  that
• 49:15
  there's
• 49:16
  just
• 49:16
  got
• 49:16
  to
• 49:16
  be
• 49:17
  something,
• 49:18
  some
• 49:18
  kind
• 49:18
  of
• 49:18
  shake
• 49:19
  up,
• 49:19
  you
• 49:19
  know,
• 49:19
  new,
• 49:20
  new
• 49:20
  hitting
• 49:21
  coach?
• 49:22
  I
• 49:23
  don't
• 49:23
  say
• 49:23
  fire
• 49:23
  the
• 49:23
  manager,
• 49:24
  but
• 49:24
  just
• 49:24
  there's
• 49:25
  got
• 49:25
  to
• 49:25
  be
• 49:25
  something
• 49:26
  that
• 49:26
  A,
• 49:27
  doesn't
• 49:27
  look
• 49:27
  desperate,
• 49:28
  but
• 49:28
  B,
• 49:29
  maybe
• 49:30
  changes
• 49:30
  something
• 49:31
  here
• 49:31
  a
• 49:31
  little
• 49:31
  bit
• 49:31
  because
• 49:32
  it
• 49:32
  is
• 49:32
  desperation
• 49:33
  time.
• 49:34
  I
• 49:34
  mean,
• 49:34
  probably
• 49:35
  any
• 49:35
  move
• 49:35
  you
• 49:35
  make
• 49:35
  in
• 49:35
  August,
• 49:36
  firing
• 49:36
  a
• 49:37
  coach
• 49:37
  probably
• 49:37
  does
• 49:37
  look
• 49:38
  desperate,
• 49:38
  but
• 49:38
  also
• 49:38
  that
• 49:39
  doesn't
• 49:39
  really.
• 49:39
  I
• 49:39
  don't
• 49:39
  know.
• 49:39
  Sometimes
• 49:40
  I
• 49:40
  don't
• 49:40
  think
• 49:40
  these
• 49:40
  guys
• 49:41
  care
• 49:41
  so
• 49:41
  much
• 49:41
  about
• 49:42
  the
• 49:42
  optics
• 49:42
  at
• 49:42
  this
• 49:43
  point
• 49:43
  and
• 49:43
  where
• 49:43
  this
• 49:43
  organization
• 49:43
  is.
• 49:44
  Maybe
• 49:44
  like
• 49:44
  the
• 49:44
  past
• 49:44
  versions
• 49:45
  of
• 49:45
  it.
• 49:45
  I
• 49:46
  think
• 49:46
  right
• 49:46
  now
• 49:46
  they're
• 49:47
  very
• 49:47
  consistent.
• 49:48
  One,
• 49:48
  state,
• 49:48
  of
• 49:48
  course,
• 49:49
  but
• 49:49
  also
• 49:49
  two,
• 49:50
  definitely
• 49:50
  realize
• 49:51
  that
• 49:52

• 49:53
  moment.
• 49:53
  There
• 49:53
  needs
• 49:53
  to
• 49:54
  be
• 49:54
  something
• 49:54
  that
• 49:54
  galvanizes
• 49:55
  these
• 49:55
  guys.
• 49:55
  Like
• 49:55
  the
• 49:55
  way
• 49:56
  it's
• 49:56
  kind
• 49:56
  of
• 49:56
  funny
• 49:57
  looking
• 49:57
  back,
• 49:57
  but
• 49:58
  the
• 49:58
  team
• 49:58
  kind
• 49:58
  of
• 49:58
  looked
• 49:59
  like
• 49:59
  this
• 49:59
  for
• 49:59
  a
• 49:59
  month
• 50:00
  and
• 50:00
  a
• 50:00
  half,
• 50:00
  two
• 50:00
  months
• 50:00
  last
• 50:01
  season.
• 50:01
  And
• 50:01
  all
• 50:01
  of
• 50:02
  a
• 50:02
  sudden,
• 50:02
  Jorge
• 50:02
  Lopez
• 50:02
  throws
• 50:03
  like
• 50:03
  one
• 50:03
  of
• 50:03
  the
• 50:03
  greatest
• 50:03
  pantries
• 50:04
  we've
• 50:04
  ever
• 50:04
  seen
• 50:04
  in
• 50:04
  a
• 50:04
  baseball
• 50:05
  field.
• 50:05
  All
• 50:05
  of
• 50:05
  a
• 50:05
  sudden,
• 50:05
  like
• 50:05
  it's
• 50:06
  just
• 50:06
  like,
• 50:06
  whoa.
• 50:06
  Like
• 50:07
  you
• 50:07
  just
• 50:07
  have
• 50:07
  to.
• 50:07
  There
• 50:08
  needs
• 50:08
  to
• 50:08
  be
• 50:08
  like
• 50:08
  a
• 50:08
  Runway
• 50:08
  for
• 50:09
  these
• 50:09
  guys
• 50:09
  to
• 50:09
  let
• 50:09
  some
• 50:09
  things
• 50:09
  out.
• 50:10
  It
• 50:10
  seems
• 50:10
  like
• 50:10
  there's
• 50:10
  just
• 50:11
  something
• 50:11
  that's
• 50:11
  just
• 50:12
  like
• 50:12
  a
• 50:12
  blockade,
• 50:12
  like
• 50:13
  a
• 50:13
  mental
• 50:13
  blockade,
• 50:14
  team
• 50:14
  wise.
• 50:15
  I
• 50:15
  don't
• 50:15
  know,
• 50:15
  it's
• 50:15
  just
• 50:15
  hard
• 50:16
  to
• 50:16
  even
• 50:16
  explain
• 50:17
  when
• 50:17
  you
• 50:17
  watch
• 50:17
  it
• 50:17
  every
• 50:17
  day.
• 50:18
  Yep.
• 50:18
  516623,
• 50:19
  1240
• 50:20
  we're
• 50:20
  talking
• 50:20
  with
• 50:21
  James
• 50:21
  Shiano
• 50:21
  of
• 50:22
  the

  Mets

  Podcast.
• 50:22
  James,
• 50:24
  you
• 50:24
  know,
• 50:24
  getting
• 50:24
  thrown
• 50:25
  out
• 50:25
  at
• 50:25
  home
• 50:25
  plate
• 50:25
  the
• 50:26
  other
• 50:26
  night,
• 50:26
  obviously
• 50:27
  we
• 50:27
  talk
• 50:27
  about,
• 50:27
  you
• 50:28
  know,
• 50:28
  we
• 50:28
  could
• 50:28
  have
• 50:28
  put
• 50:28
  Tyrone
• 50:29
  Taylor
• 50:29
  in.
• 50:29
  He,
• 50:30
  you
• 50:30
  know,
• 50:30
  has
• 50:31
  the
• 50:31
  decisions
• 50:32
  that
• 50:32
  Mendoza
• 50:33
  has
• 50:33
  made,
• 50:33
  whether
• 50:33
  it
• 50:34
  be
• 50:34
  who
• 50:34
  to
• 50:34
  put
• 50:34
  in
• 50:34
  the
• 50:35
  game,
• 50:35
  who
• 50:35
  to
• 50:35
  take
• 50:35
  out
• 50:36
  of
• 50:36
  the
• 50:36
  game,
• 50:36
  who
• 50:36
  to
• 50:37
  pinch
• 50:37
  run.
• 50:37
  You
• 50:38
  know,
• 50:39
  has
• 50:39
  that
• 50:39
  been
• 50:40
  a
• 50:40
  little
• 50:40
  too
• 50:40
  much
• 50:41
  for
• 50:41
  him
• 50:41
  lately?
• 50:42
  Do
• 50:42
  you
• 50:42
  think
• 50:42
  that
• 50:42
  it's
• 50:42
  gotten
• 50:43
  to
• 50:43
  be
• 50:43
  a
• 50:43
  little
• 50:43
  too
• 50:44
  much?
• 50:44
  Because
• 50:44
  he
• 50:44
  seems
• 50:44
  to.
• 50:45
  To
• 50:45
  have
• 50:45
  an
• 50:45
  answer
• 50:45
  each
• 50:46
  time,
• 50:46
  but
• 50:46
  it
• 50:46
  seems
• 50:46
  to
• 50:46
  me
• 50:47
  to
• 50:47
  be
• 50:47
  the
• 50:47
  wrong
• 50:47
  answer.
• 50:49
  The
• 50:49
  Friday
• 50:49
  game
• 50:50
  was
• 50:50
  the
• 50:50
  first
• 50:50
  time
• 50:50
  where
• 50:51
  I
• 50:51
  was
• 50:51
  like,
• 50:51
  oh,
• 50:51
  man.
• 50:51
  Like,
• 50:52
  this
• 50:52
  is
• 50:52
  a.
• 50:53
  This.
• 50:53
  This
• 50:53
  is
• 50:53
  actually
• 50:54
  the
• 50:54
  kind
• 50:54
  of
• 50:54
  call
• 50:54
  that
• 50:55
  is
• 50:56
  inexcusably
• 50:56
  bad.
• 50:57
  At
• 50:57
  least
• 50:58
  every
• 50:58
  manager
• 50:59
  makes
• 51:00
  crappy
• 51:00
  bullpen
• 51:00
  decisions.
• 51:01
  Like,
• 51:01
  this
• 51:01
  is
• 51:01
  going
• 51:01
  to
• 51:01
  happen
• 51:01
  across
• 51:02
  the
• 51:02
  league
• 51:02
  no
• 51:02
  matter
• 51:02
  what.
• 51:03
  Like
• 51:03
  the
• 51:03
  pinch
• 51:03
  hit,
• 51:03
  pinch
• 51:04
  run
• 51:04
  decisions.
• 51:04
  Like,
• 51:04
  I
• 51:04
  mean,
• 51:05
  not
• 51:05
  just
• 51:05
  the
• 51:05
  pinch
• 51:05
  hit
• 51:05
  decisions.
• 51:06
  Like,
• 51:06
  I
• 51:07
  understand
• 51:07
  the
• 51:07
  gut
• 51:07
  that
• 51:07
  Mendoza
• 51:08
  uses
• 51:08
  for
• 51:08
  that
• 51:08
  and,
• 51:08
  like,
• 51:08
  use
• 51:09
  it
• 51:09
  well
• 51:09
  last
• 51:09
  year.
• 51:09
  So
• 51:10
  it's
• 51:10
  like,
• 51:10
  it
• 51:10
  worked
• 51:10
  one
• 51:10
  year,
• 51:10
  it
• 51:10
  didn't
• 51:11
  work
• 51:11
  the
• 51:11
  other
• 51:11
  here.
• 51:11
  Okay.
• 51:12
  The
• 51:12
  no
• 51:12
  pinch
• 51:13
  run
• 51:13
  is
• 51:13
  like,
• 51:14
  that's
• 51:14
  like
• 51:15
  kind
• 51:15
  of
• 51:15
  I'm
• 51:15
  gonna.
• 51:15
  I'm
• 51:16
  an
• 51:16
  I'm
• 51:16
  asleep
• 51:17
  moment.
• 51:17
  Because
• 51:17
  it's
• 51:18
  very
• 51:18
  obvious
• 51:18
  that
• 51:19
  the
• 51:19
  guy
• 51:19
  who
• 51:19
  happened.
• 51:20
  The
• 51:20
  bench
• 51:20
  is
• 51:20
  faster
• 51:21
  selling
• 51:21
  martes,
• 51:23
  like
• 51:23
  six
• 51:23
  of
• 51:23
  the
• 51:23
  slowest
• 51:23
  players
• 51:24
  in
• 51:24
  baseball
• 51:24
  this
• 51:24
  year.
• 51:24
  And
• 51:25
  now
• 51:25
  as
• 51:26
  the
• 51:26
  tying
• 51:26
  run,
• 51:26
  you
• 51:26
  just
• 51:26
  leave
• 51:27
  them
• 51:27
  out.
• 51:27
  Like,
• 51:27
  it
• 51:27
  just.
• 51:27
  That
• 51:28
  seems
• 51:28
  like
• 51:28
  such
• 51:28
  a
• 51:28
  layup.
• 51:28
  Such
• 51:29
  an
• 51:29
  obvious,
• 51:29
  like,
• 51:29
  reflex
• 51:30
  instinct
• 51:30
  that
• 51:31
  wasn't
• 51:31
  taken.
• 51:31
  Which
• 51:31
  didn't.
• 51:32
  Don't
• 51:33
  question
• 51:33
  Carlos
• 51:33
  Mendoza.
• 51:34
  But
• 51:34
  it
• 51:34
  was
• 51:34
  the
• 51:34
  first
• 51:34
  time
• 51:34
  where
• 51:34
  I
• 51:35
  thought
• 51:35
  like,
• 51:35
  oh,
• 51:35
  that
• 51:36
  was
• 51:36
  a.
• 51:37
  There's
• 51:37
  no
• 51:37
  explanation
• 51:38
  behind
• 51:38
  this
• 51:38
  one.
• 51:40
  What
• 51:40
  are
• 51:40
  the
• 51:40
  bench
• 51:41
  coaches?
• 51:41
  Like,
• 51:41
  what's
• 51:42
  going
• 51:42
  on?
• 51:42
  That's
• 51:43
  a
• 51:43
  good
• 51:43
  question,
• 51:43
  right?
• 51:43
  Yeah.
• 51:47
  I
• 51:47
  mean,
• 51:47
  the
• 51:48
  guy
• 51:49
  was
• 51:49
  a
• 51:50
  player
• 51:50
  spits
• 51:50
  nails.
• 51:51
  I
• 51:51
  mean,
• 51:51
  he's
• 51:51
  not
• 51:52
  a
• 51:52
  quiet
• 51:52
  guy.
• 51:52
  That's
• 51:53
  not
• 51:53
  why
• 51:53
  he's
• 51:53
  there.
• 51:53
  I
• 51:54
  mean,
• 51:54
  they're
• 51:54
  not
• 51:54
  having
• 51:55
  this
• 51:55
  conversation.
• 51:58
  In
• 51:58
  the
• 51:59
  flow
• 51:59
  of
• 51:59
  that
• 51:59
  game.
• 51:59
  And
• 51:59
  after
• 52:00
  a
• 52:00
  couple
• 52:00
  days
• 52:00
  before
• 52:00
  it,
• 52:01
  I
• 52:01
  mean,
• 52:02
  at
• 52:02
  least
• 52:02
  watching
• 52:02
  it,
• 52:02
  I
• 52:02
  felt
• 52:03
  shocked
• 52:03
  that
• 52:03
  that
• 52:03
  hit
• 52:03
  went
• 52:04
  in
• 52:04
  the
• 52:04
  gap
• 52:04
  from
• 52:04
  Starling
• 52:04
  Martha.
• 52:05
  So
• 52:05
  I
• 52:05
  understand
• 52:05
  maybe
• 52:07
  again,
• 52:07
  like
• 52:07
  peeing
• 52:07
  asleep.
• 52:08
  If
• 52:08
  there's
• 52:08
  ever
• 52:08
  a
• 52:08
  moment
• 52:08
  to
• 52:09
  be
• 52:09
  asleep.
• 52:09
  Like,
• 52:09
  I
• 52:09
  felt
• 52:09
  like
• 52:09
  I
• 52:10
  was
• 52:10
  sleeping.
• 52:10
  Yeah.
• 52:10
  Most
• 52:11
  of
• 52:11
  that
• 52:11
  game.
• 52:11
  That's
• 52:11
  kind
• 52:11
  of.
• 52:12
  That's
• 52:12
  kind
• 52:12
  of
• 52:12
  what
• 52:13
  it
• 52:13
  felt
• 52:13
  like
• 52:14
  to
• 52:14
  me
• 52:14
  for
• 52:15
  a
• 52:15
  degree
• 52:15
  or
• 52:15
  I
• 52:15
  was
• 52:15
  just
• 52:15
  like,
• 52:16
  can't
• 52:16
  believe.
• 52:16
  It's
• 52:16
  like,
• 52:17
  oh,
• 52:17
  now
• 52:17
  he's
• 52:17
  throwing
• 52:17
  out.
• 52:17
  Like,
• 52:17
  wait
• 52:18
  a
• 52:18
  second.
• 52:18
  You
• 52:18
  should
• 52:18
  have
• 52:18
  been
• 52:18
  trans.
• 52:18
  Like,
• 52:19
  I
• 52:19
  don't
• 52:19
  know.
• 52:19
  It
• 52:19
  was
• 52:19
  a
• 52:19
  sleepy
• 52:20
  moment.
• 52:20
  But,
• 52:20
  well,
• 52:21
  being
• 52:21
  asleep
• 52:22
  after
• 52:22
  those
• 52:22
  two
• 52:22
  games,
• 52:22
  like,
• 52:23
  I
• 52:24
  was
• 52:24
  asleep.
• 52:24
  Any.
• 52:25
  Any
• 52:26
  coach,
• 52:27
  basketball,
• 52:28
  baseball,
• 52:28
  football,
• 52:29
  whatever
• 52:29
  it
• 52:29
  is,
• 52:29
  assistant
• 52:30
  coaches
• 52:30
  jobs
• 52:31
  are
• 52:31
  to
• 52:31
  be
• 52:32
  thinking
• 52:32
  ahead
• 52:33
  for
• 52:33
  the
• 52:33
  manager.
• 52:34
  And
• 52:35
  I'll
• 52:35
  tell
• 52:35
  you
• 52:35
  if.
• 52:36
  I
• 52:37
  mean,
• 52:37
  Chris,
• 52:38
  he
• 52:38
  can
• 52:38
  tell
• 52:38
  you.
• 52:38
  What
• 52:39
  was
• 52:39
  his
• 52:39
  answer
• 52:40
  as
• 52:40
  to
• 52:40
  why
• 52:40
  he
• 52:41
  didn't.
• 52:42
  I
• 52:42
  mean,
• 52:42
  I
• 52:42
  know
• 52:42
  he
• 52:43
  said
• 52:43
  something
• 52:43
  about
• 52:43
  that.
• 52:45
  He
• 52:45
  never
• 52:45
  thought
• 52:45
  about
• 52:45
  it.
• 52:46
  Marte's
• 52:46
  a
• 52:46
  good
• 52:46
  runner.
• 52:47
  Yeah,
• 52:47
  Marte.
• 52:49
  Definitely
• 52:50
  in
• 52:50
  that
• 52:50
  play.
• 52:51
  Marseille
• 52:51
  did
• 52:51
  everything.
• 52:51
  The
• 52:52
  guys
• 52:52
  had
• 52:52
  knee
• 52:52
  problems.
• 52:53
  What,
• 52:53
  are
• 52:53
  you
• 52:53
  kidding?
• 52:54
  Of
• 52:54
  course.
• 52:54
  Yeah.
• 52:54
  No,
• 52:55
  the
• 52:55
  entire.
• 52:55
  Tyrone
• 52:56
  Taylor's
• 52:56
  the
• 52:56
  flash
• 52:57
  Yeah,
• 52:57
  I
• 52:57
  mean.
• 52:57
  Why
• 52:58
  else
• 52:58
  have
• 52:58
  them
• 52:58
  on
• 52:58
  the.
• 53:00
  Yeah,
• 53:00
  I
• 53:00
  mean
• 53:00
  he's.
• 53:02
  Well,
• 53:02
  I
• 53:02
  think
• 53:02
  we're
• 53:02
  now
• 53:02
  at
• 53:03
  the
• 53:03
  Rockers
• 53:03
  also.
• 53:03
  It's
• 53:04
  even
• 53:04
  more
• 53:04
  upsetting
• 53:04
  because
• 53:05
  then
• 53:05
  you
• 53:05
  look
• 53:05
  back
• 53:05
  at
• 53:05
  Tuesday,
• 53:06
  Monday,
• 53:06
  whatever
• 53:06
  day
• 53:07
  the
• 53:07
  first
• 53:07
  game
• 53:07
  was
• 53:07
  against
• 53:07
  the
• 53:07
  Guardians
• 53:08
  and
• 53:08
  Tyrone
• 53:09
  Taylor
• 53:09
  is
• 53:09
  the
• 53:09
  pinch
• 53:11
  where
• 53:12
  it's
• 53:12
  like,
• 53:12
  how
• 53:12
  do
• 53:13
  you.
• 53:13
  How
• 53:13
  did
• 53:13
  we
• 53:14
  get
• 53:14
  both
• 53:14
  of
• 53:14
  these
• 53:14
  wrong?
• 53:14
  Like
• 53:15
  in
• 53:15
  the
• 53:15
  aggregate,
• 53:16
  50,
• 53:16
  50
• 53:16
  things.
• 53:17
  Like
• 53:17
  you
• 53:17
  got
• 53:17
  to
• 53:17
  get
• 53:17
  one,
• 53:17
  you
• 53:17
  don't
• 53:18
  get
• 53:18
  the
• 53:18
  other
• 53:18
  one,
• 53:18
  then
• 53:18
  you
• 53:19
  win
• 53:19
  one
• 53:19
  of
• 53:19
  those
• 53:19
  games.
• 53:20
  Like
• 53:20
  every
• 53:20
  game
• 53:20
  is
• 53:20
  Brewer
• 53:21
  series.
• 53:21
  And
• 53:21
  I
• 53:21
  know
• 53:21
  he's
• 53:22
  got
• 53:22
  a
• 53:22
  back.
• 53:22
  If
• 53:22
  you
• 53:22
  make
• 53:22
  half
• 53:23
  the
• 53:23
  right
• 53:23
  plays,
• 53:23
  you
• 53:23
  sweep
• 53:24
  the
• 53:24
  series.
• 53:24
  Yeah.
• 53:24
  And
• 53:24
  I
• 53:25
  know
• 53:25
  he's
• 53:25
  such
• 53:25
  a
• 53:25
  wisdom.
• 53:25
  Series
• 53:26
  just
• 53:26
  do
• 53:26
  everything
• 53:26
  wrong.
• 53:27
  He's
• 53:27
  got
• 53:27
  to
• 53:27
  back
• 53:27
  his
• 53:27
  coaches
• 53:28
  up.
• 53:28
  So
• 53:28
  he's
• 53:28
  going
• 53:28
  to
• 53:28
  say
• 53:28
  100%
• 53:29
  he
• 53:29
  would
• 53:29
  have
• 53:29
  been
• 53:30
  out
• 53:30
  of
• 53:30
  the
• 53:30
  plate
• 53:30
  or
• 53:31
  oh,
• 53:31
  he
• 53:31
  made
• 53:31
  the
• 53:31
  right
• 53:31
  decision
• 53:32
  and
• 53:32
  not
• 53:32
  sending
• 53:32
  them.
• 53:33
  If
• 53:33
  they
• 53:33
  send
• 53:34
  him
• 53:34
  this
• 53:35
  losing
• 53:35
  streak,
• 53:35
  number
• 53:35
  one
• 53:36
  is
• 53:36
  not
• 53:36
  seven
• 53:36
  games.
• 53:36
  But
• 53:37
  I
• 53:37
  think
• 53:37
  that
• 53:37
  makes
• 53:37
  a
• 53:38
  huge
• 53:38
  difference
• 53:39
  in
• 53:39
  that
• 53:39
  series
• 53:39
  against
• 53:40
  the
• 53:40
  Guardians.
• 53:40
  Changes,
• 53:41
  you
• 53:41
  know,
• 53:41
  the
• 53:41
  way,
• 53:42
  the
• 53:42
  way
• 53:42
  things
• 53:42
  are
• 53:42
  flowing
• 53:43
  for
• 53:44
  the
• 53:44
  Mets
• 53:44
  and
• 53:44
  I
• 53:44
  think,
• 53:45
  you
• 53:45
  know,
• 53:45
  at
• 53:45
  this
• 53:45
  point
• 53:46
  they're
• 53:46
  just
• 53:46
  fishing
• 53:47
  to
• 53:47
  see
• 53:47
  offensively
• 53:48
  who
• 53:48
  they're
• 53:48
  going
• 53:48
  to
• 53:49
  put
• 53:49
  up
• 53:49
  there.
• 53:49
  But
• 53:49
  my,
• 53:49
  my
• 53:50
  question
• 53:50
  to
• 53:50
  you
• 53:50
  is
• 53:50
  we're
• 53:51
  at
• 53:51
  like
• 53:51
  53,
• 53:51
  54
• 53:52
  straight
• 53:52
  games
• 53:53
  without
• 53:53
  getting
• 53:53
  two
• 53:54
  different
• 53:54
  pitchers
• 53:55
  to
• 53:55
  go
• 53:55
  six
• 53:55
  plus
• 53:56
  innings
• 53:56
  in
• 53:56
  a
• 53:57
  start.
• 53:57
  You
• 53:57
  know,
• 53:58
  what's
• 53:59
  the
• 53:59
  next,
• 53:59
  like,
• 53:59
  how
• 53:59
  do
• 54:00
  we
• 54:00
  get
• 54:00
  guys
• 54:01
  to
• 54:01
  be
• 54:01
  on
• 54:01
  his
• 54:02
  team?
• 54:02
  Maybe
• 54:02
  we
• 54:02
  just
• 54:02
  don't
• 54:03
  have
• 54:03
  that
• 54:03
  this
• 54:03
  year.
• 54:04
  You
• 54:04
  know,
• 54:04
  Shamani
• 54:04
  is
• 54:05
  not
• 54:05
  ready.
• 54:05
  He
• 54:05
  hits
• 54:05
  a
• 54:06
  wall
• 54:06
  every
• 54:06
  time.
• 54:06
  He's
• 54:07
  not
• 54:07
  ready
• 54:07
  for
• 54:07
  that.
• 54:08
  Kodai
• 54:08
  Sanga's
• 54:09
  not
• 54:09
  ready
• 54:09
  for
• 54:09
  that.
• 54:10
  David
• 54:10
  Peterson
• 54:11
  is
• 54:11
  the
• 54:11
  one
• 54:11
  guy
• 54:12
  Frankie
• 54:12
  Montas
• 54:13
  doesn't
• 54:13
  even
• 54:13
  start
• 54:13
  for
• 54:13
  us
• 54:14
  anymore.
• 54:14
  And
• 54:15
  you
• 54:15
  know,
• 54:15
  we're
• 54:15
  going
• 54:15
  to
• 54:15
  be
• 54:15
  bringing
• 54:16
  back
• 54:16
  Paul
• 54:16
  Blackburn,
• 54:17
  who
• 54:17
  they
• 54:17
  haven't
• 54:17
  even
• 54:17
  given
• 54:18
  him
• 54:18
  an
• 54:19
  idea
• 54:19
  of
• 54:19
  what
• 54:19
  he's
• 54:20
  doing.
• 54:20
  So
• 54:21
  what
• 54:21
  is
• 54:21
  the
• 54:21
  next
• 54:21
  step
• 54:21
  and
• 54:22
  how
• 54:22
  do
• 54:22
  you
• 54:22
  get
• 54:22
  these
• 54:22
  guys
• 54:23
  to.
• 54:23
  To
• 54:23
  put
• 54:23
  out
• 54:24
  more
• 54:24
  than
• 54:24
  four
• 54:24
  innings?
• 54:25
  I,
• 54:26
  I
• 54:26
  think
• 54:26
  that
• 54:26
  is
• 54:26
  a.
• 54:27
  Is
• 54:27
  a.
• 54:27
  It's
• 54:28
  slightly
• 54:28
  an
• 54:28
  unsolvable
• 54:29
  problem
• 54:29
  at
• 54:29
  this
• 54:29
  point
• 54:29
  in
• 54:29
  the
• 54:29
  season.
• 54:30
  It's
• 54:30
  just
• 54:30
  you
• 54:31
  kind
• 54:31
  of
• 54:31
  got.
• 54:31
  That's
• 54:32
  what
• 54:32
  got
• 54:32
  like
• 54:32
  talked
• 54:33
  about
• 54:33
  the
• 54:33
  beginning
• 54:33
  here.
• 54:33
  And
• 54:33
  I
• 54:33
  was
• 54:33
  like
• 54:34
  a
• 54:34
  lot
• 54:34
  of
• 54:34
  his
• 54:34
  bad
• 54:34
  performance,
• 54:34
  a
• 54:35
  lot
• 54:35
  of
• 54:35
  his
• 54:35
  bad
• 54:35
  luck,
• 54:35
  like,
• 54:35
  you
• 54:35
  shoot
• 54:36
  for
• 54:36
  like
• 54:37
  half
• 54:37
  of
• 54:37
  these
• 54:37
  guys
• 54:37
  being
• 54:37
  able
• 54:38
  to
• 54:38
  do
• 54:38
  that
• 54:38
  by
• 54:38
  this
• 54:38
  time
• 54:38
  of
• 54:38
  year.
• 54:39
  The
• 54:39
  way
• 54:39
  they
• 54:39
  went
• 54:39
  into
• 54:39
  the
• 54:39
  season.
• 54:40
  The
• 54:40
  fact
• 54:40
  that
• 54:40
  you
• 54:41
  can't
• 54:41
  get
• 54:41
  that
• 54:41
  from
• 54:41
  either
• 54:42
  Minio
• 54:42
  or
• 54:42
  Sanga,
• 54:43
  the
• 54:43
  guys
• 54:43
  who
• 54:43
  are
• 54:43
  kind
• 54:43
  of
• 54:44
  presumed
• 54:44
  to
• 54:45
  Be
• 54:45
  the
• 54:45
  top
• 54:45
  two
• 54:45
  guys
• 54:45
  in
• 54:45
  the
• 54:45
  staff.
• 54:46
  They
• 54:46
  both
• 54:46
  got
• 54:46
  hurt.
• 54:47
  They
• 54:47
  both
• 54:47
  dealt
• 54:47
  with
• 54:47
  some
• 54:48
  stuff
• 54:48
  that's
• 54:48
  just
• 54:48
  like.
• 54:48
  Still,
• 54:48
  it's
• 54:49
  like
• 54:49
  a
• 54:49
  big
• 54:50
  part
• 54:50
  of
• 54:50
  the
• 54:50
  team
• 54:50
  was
• 54:50
  predicated,
• 54:51
  at
• 54:51
  least
• 54:51
  one
• 54:51
  of
• 54:51
  those
• 54:52
  guys
• 54:52
  to
• 54:52
  be
• 54:53
  something
• 54:53
  like
• 54:53
  that.
• 54:53
  And
• 54:53
  the
• 54:53
  fact
• 54:54
  that
• 54:54
  it's
• 54:54
  neither
• 54:54
  of
• 54:54
  them,
• 54:55
  it's
• 54:55
  like
• 54:55
  you.
• 54:56
  Unless
• 54:57
  they
• 54:57
  want
• 54:57
  to
• 54:57
  bring
• 54:57
  up
• 54:57
  one
• 54:57
  of
• 54:57
  these
• 54:58
  kids,
• 54:58
  which
• 54:58
  it
• 54:58
  seems
• 54:58
  like
• 54:58
  they
• 54:58
  might
• 54:59
  based
• 54:59
  on
• 54:59
  all
• 54:59
  the
• 54:59
  shuffling
• 55:00
  they
• 55:00
  did
• 55:00
  today
• 55:00
  with
• 55:01
  Joe
• 55:01
  and
• 55:01
  Tom
• 55:01
  going
• 55:01
  aaa,
• 55:03
  guys
• 55:03
  going
• 55:03
  Triple
• 55:04
  A.
• 55:04
  But
• 55:04
  I
• 55:04
  didn't
• 55:04
  even
• 55:04
  see
• 55:04
  that.
• 55:06
  Yeah,
• 55:06
  they
• 55:06
  put
• 55:06
  on
• 55:07
  tongs
• 55:07
  up,
• 55:07
  Ewing's
• 55:08
  up,
• 55:08
  Clifford's
• 55:08
  up.
• 55:09
  And
• 55:09
  then
• 55:10
  there
• 55:10
  was
• 55:10
  a
• 55:11
  couple
• 55:11
  others.
• 55:12
  The
• 55:12
  big.
• 55:12
  They
• 55:12
  did
• 55:13
  like
• 55:13
  a
• 55:13
  big
• 55:13
  up.
• 55:13
  A
• 55:13
  big.
• 55:14
  A
• 55:14
  big
• 55:14
  double
• 55:14
  up
• 55:14
  from.
• 55:14
  So
• 55:15
  then
• 55:15
  maybe
• 55:16
  Syracuse.
• 55:17
  That
• 55:17
  seems
• 55:17
  like.
• 55:18
  To
• 55:18
  bring
• 55:19
  Joe
• 55:19
  and
• 55:19
  Tom
• 55:19
  to
• 55:19
  that
• 55:20
  rotation.
• 55:20
  Clearly
• 55:20
  someone's
• 55:21
  going
• 55:21
  to
• 55:21
  leave
• 55:21
  that
• 55:21
  rotation.
• 55:22
  It's
• 55:22
  kind
• 55:22
  of
• 55:22
  the
• 55:23
  idea.
• 55:23
  But
• 55:23
  also,
• 55:24
  you
• 55:24
  can't
• 55:24
  really
• 55:24
  expect
• 55:24
  one
• 55:25
  of
• 55:25
  those
• 55:25
  guys
• 55:25
  to
• 55:25
  come
• 55:25
  up
• 55:25
  with
• 55:26
  this
• 55:26
  year
• 55:26
  either.
• 55:26
  No.
• 55:27
  You
• 55:27
  had
• 55:27
  to
• 55:27
  bring
• 55:27
  those
• 55:28
  guys
• 55:28
  up.
• 55:29
  Oh,
• 55:29
  whoa.
• 55:29
  Wow.
• 55:30
  On
• 55:31
  the
• 55:31
  street
• 55:31
  here.
• 55:31
  Holy
• 55:32
  crap,
• 55:32
  you're
• 55:33
  right.
• 55:34
  Yeah.
• 55:34
  I
• 55:34
  got
• 55:34
  motorcycle
• 55:35
  right
• 55:35
  in
• 55:35
  front
• 55:35
  of
• 55:35
  me.
• 55:35
  Oh,
• 55:35
  my
• 55:36
  goodness.
• 55:36
  No.
• 55:37
  I'm
• 55:37
  sorry.
• 55:37
  He
• 55:37
  was
• 55:38
  blaring
• 55:38
  the
• 55:38
  thing
• 55:38
  like
• 55:38
  a
• 55:38
  jerk.
• 55:39
  But
• 55:39
  okay,
• 55:39
  you
• 55:40
  have
• 55:40
  to
• 55:40
  get.
• 55:40
  You
• 55:40
  had
• 55:40
  to
• 55:40
  build
• 55:41
  those
• 55:41
  guys
• 55:41
  up
• 55:41
  slowly
• 55:41
  over
• 55:42
  the
• 55:42
  last
• 55:42
  two
• 55:42
  months
• 55:42
  if
• 55:42
  you
• 55:42
  want
• 55:43
  them
• 55:43
  to
• 55:43
  do
• 55:43
  in
• 55:43
  the
• 55:43
  stretch
• 55:43
  run
• 55:43
  now.
• 55:44
  They're
• 55:44
  kind
• 55:44
  of
• 55:44
  close
• 55:44
  to
• 55:45
  their
• 55:45
  own
• 55:45
  innings
• 55:45
  limits.
• 55:46
  They've
• 55:46
  been
• 55:46
  pitching
• 55:46
  with
• 55:46
  a
• 55:46
  six
• 55:46
  man
• 55:47
  rotation
• 55:47
  the
• 55:47
  whole
• 55:47
  year.
• 55:48
  Aaa.
• 55:48
  It's
• 55:48
  like
• 55:49
  you
• 55:50
  can't
• 55:50
  really
• 55:50
  expect
• 55:50
  more.
• 55:50
  Than
• 55:51
  like
• 55:51
  what
• 55:51
  Frankie
• 55:51
  Matas
• 55:52
  is
• 55:52
  doing
• 55:52
  right
• 55:52
  now
• 55:53
  from
• 55:53
  one
• 55:53
  of
• 55:53
  those
• 55:53
  guys.
• 55:54
  I
• 55:54
  just
• 55:54
  see.
• 55:54
  Give
• 55:54
  him
• 55:55
  a
• 55:55
  little
• 55:55
  bit.
• 55:55
  They
• 55:55
  bite
• 55:55
  that
• 55:55
  off,
• 55:55
  they
• 55:56
  can
• 55:56
  chew
• 55:56
  it,
• 55:56
  then
• 55:56
  you
• 55:56
  can
• 55:56
  give
• 55:56
  them
• 55:57
  more.
• 55:57
  It's
• 55:57
  like,
• 55:57
  that's
• 55:57
  just.
• 55:58
  I
• 55:58
  don't
• 55:58
  know.
• 55:58
  It
• 55:59
  seemed
• 55:59
  like
• 55:59
  such
• 55:59
  an
• 55:59
  easy
• 56:00
  answer
• 56:01
  in
• 56:01
  June
• 56:01
  to
• 56:01
  let
• 56:01
  one
• 56:02
  of
• 56:02
  those
• 56:02
  guys
• 56:02
  be
• 56:03
  like
• 56:03
  this
• 56:03
  kind
• 56:03
  of
• 56:04
  bulk
• 56:04
  sponge
• 56:04
  kind
• 56:04
  of
• 56:04
  guy.
• 56:05
  Like
• 56:05
  we
• 56:05
  saw
• 56:05
  DL
• 56:05
  hall
• 56:06
  do
• 56:06
  today
• 56:06
  for
• 56:06
  the
• 56:06
  brewers
• 56:07
  on
• 56:07
  Sunday.
• 56:08
  It's.
• 56:08
  They
• 56:09
  have
• 56:09
  tried.
• 56:10
  Neither
• 56:10
  of
• 56:10
  them
• 56:10
  there.
• 56:10
  It's
• 56:11
  kind
• 56:11
  of
• 56:11
  like,
• 56:11
  oh,
• 56:13
  that
• 56:13
  was
• 56:13
  a
• 56:13
  mess.
• 56:15
  Well,
• 56:15
  I
• 56:15
  think,
• 56:15
  you
• 56:15
  know,
• 56:16
  right
• 56:16
  now
• 56:16
  it's
• 56:17
  the.
• 56:17
  It's
• 56:17
  the
• 56:17
  bats.
• 56:18
  I
• 56:18
  mean,
• 56:19
  who's
• 56:19
  the
• 56:19
  biggest
• 56:19
  disappointment
• 56:20
  for
• 56:20
  the
• 56:20
  Mets
• 56:21
  at
• 56:21
  the
• 56:21
  plate?
• 56:21
  Is
• 56:21
  it.
• 56:22
  Is
• 56:22
  it
• 56:22
  Lindor?
• 56:22
  Is
• 56:23
  it
• 56:23
  definitely
• 56:24
  Lindor?
• 56:24
  Yeah.
• 56:25
  I
• 56:25
  feel
• 56:25
  like
• 56:25
  it's
• 56:25
  not
• 56:25
  even
• 56:26
  close.
• 56:26
  Right.
• 56:27
  I
• 56:27
  just
• 56:28
  think
• 56:28
  that
• 56:28
  it's
• 56:28
  a
• 56:29
  bad
• 56:29
  season.
• 56:29
  It's
• 56:29
  objectively
• 56:30
  a
• 56:30
  bad
• 56:30
  season
• 56:30
  from
• 56:30
  a
• 56:31
  guy
• 56:31
  that
• 56:32
  came
• 56:32
  to
• 56:32
  second
• 56:32
  place
• 56:32
  National
• 56:33
  League
• 56:33
  MVP
• 56:33
  last
• 56:33
  year.
• 56:34
  Yeah.
• 56:34
  But
• 56:34
  I
• 56:35
  just
• 56:35
  think
• 56:35
  people
• 56:35
  talk
• 56:35
  about
• 56:35
  the
• 56:36
  regression.
• 56:36
  It's
• 56:36
  like,
• 56:37
  that's
• 56:37
  a
• 56:37
  big
• 56:37
  part
• 56:37
  of
• 56:37
  this
• 56:38
  team's
• 56:38
  aggression
• 56:38
  this
• 56:38
  year.
• 56:39
  The
• 56:39
  hard
• 56:39
  part
• 56:39
  is,
• 56:40
  you
• 56:41
  know,
• 56:41
  as
• 56:41
  a
• 56:41
  manager,
• 56:41
  he
• 56:42
  tries
• 56:42
  to
• 56:42
  leave
• 56:42
  him
• 56:43
  up
• 56:43
  in
• 56:43
  the
• 56:43
  top
• 56:43
  of
• 56:43
  the
• 56:43
  lineup,
• 56:44
  but
• 56:44
  he's
• 56:44
  killing
• 56:44
  him.
• 56:44
  But
• 56:45
  the
• 56:45
  other
• 56:45
  guy
• 56:45
  that's
• 56:45
  absolutely
• 56:46
  destroying
• 56:46
  them
• 56:46
  is
• 56:47
  Brandon
• 56:47
  Nemo.
• 56:47
  You
• 56:47
  got
• 56:48
  your
• 56:48
  three
• 56:48
  hitter
• 56:48
  bunting
• 56:49
  today
• 56:49
  because
• 56:50
  he's,
• 56:50
  because
• 56:51
  he's
• 56:51
  striking
• 56:51
  out
• 56:52
  50
• 56:52
  of
• 56:52
  the
• 56:52
  time.
• 56:53
  You
• 56:53
  know,
• 56:53
  it's,
• 56:54
  there's
• 56:55
  just
• 56:55
  too
• 56:55
  many
• 56:55
  holes
• 56:55
  in
• 56:56
  the
• 56:56
  lineup
• 56:56
  and
• 56:56
  I
• 56:56
  think
• 56:57
  you
• 56:57
  got
• 56:57
  to
• 56:57
  try
• 56:57
  to
• 56:57
  just
• 56:57
  put
• 56:58
  your
• 56:58
  best
• 56:58
  players
• 56:58
  in
• 56:58
  the
• 56:58
  top
• 56:59
  five.
• 56:59
  Whoever
• 57:00
  it
• 57:00
  is
• 57:00
  that.
• 57:01
  Who
• 57:01
  do
• 57:01
  you
• 57:01
  think
• 57:01
  that
• 57:02
  is?
• 57:02
  That.
• 57:02
  I
• 57:02
  mean,
• 57:02
  what
• 57:03
  do
• 57:03
  you
• 57:03
  change?
• 57:03
  No
• 57:03
  one's
• 57:04
  hitting
• 57:04
  up
• 57:04
  and
• 57:04
  down
• 57:04
  the
• 57:04
  hall.
• 57:04
  I
• 57:04
  mean,
• 57:05
  I,
• 57:05
  I,
• 57:05
  Mauricio
• 57:06
  and
• 57:06
  Alvarez
• 57:06
  a
• 57:06
  little
• 57:06
  bit
• 57:06
  more,
• 57:07
  but
• 57:07
  like,
• 57:07
  I
• 57:07
  don't.
• 57:07
  McNeil,
• 57:08
  I
• 57:08
  guess
• 57:09
  you
• 57:09
  can
• 57:10
  make
• 57:10
  him
• 57:10
  the
• 57:10
  two
• 57:10
  guy
• 57:10
  again.
• 57:11
  Maybe,
• 57:12
  I
• 57:12
  don't
• 57:12
  know.
• 57:12
  But
• 57:12
  it's
• 57:13
  still
• 57:13
  just
• 57:13
  like
• 57:14
  they
• 57:14
  might.
• 57:14
  Have,
• 57:15
  they
• 57:15
  might
• 57:16
  have
• 57:16
  to
• 57:16
  take
• 57:16
  a
• 57:16
  grasp
• 57:17
  and
• 57:17
  bring
• 57:17
  up
• 57:17
  a
• 57:17
  guy
• 57:18
  straight
• 57:18
  from,
• 57:18
  you
• 57:18
  know,
• 57:19
  from
• 57:19
  Double
• 57:19
  A
• 57:20
  and
• 57:20
  Carson
• 57:20
  bench.
• 57:20
  I
• 57:20
  don't
• 57:21
  know,
• 57:21
  they
• 57:21
  might
• 57:21
  have
• 57:21
  to
• 57:21
  do
• 57:21
  something
• 57:22
  crazy
• 57:22
  because
• 57:22
  it's
• 57:23
  not
• 57:23
  going
• 57:23
  to
• 57:23
  be
• 57:23
  Cedric
• 57:24
  Mullins.
• 57:25
  No,
• 57:27
  he's
• 57:27
  not
• 57:28
  in
• 57:28
  that
• 57:28
  poorly.
• 57:28
  Like
• 57:28
  it's,
• 57:29
  in
• 57:29
  terms
• 57:29
  of,
• 57:29
  it's
• 57:29
  funny,
• 57:30
  the
• 57:30
  deadline
• 57:30
  stuff.
• 57:30
  It's
• 57:31
  like,
• 57:32
  I
• 57:32
  know
• 57:32
  Helzer
• 57:33
  blew
• 57:33
  the
• 57:33
  game
• 57:33
  today,
• 57:33
  but
• 57:34
  you
• 57:34
  go
• 57:34
  five
• 57:34
  straight
• 57:34
  innings
• 57:35
  against
• 57:35
  another
• 57:35
  team's
• 57:35
  bullpen,
• 57:36
  you
• 57:36
  don't
• 57:36
  score
• 57:36
  runs.
• 57:36
  Like
• 57:37
  you
• 57:37
  have
• 57:37
  to
• 57:37
  get
• 57:37
  insurance
• 57:38
  for
• 57:38
  the
• 57:38
  guys.
• 57:38
  Just,
• 57:39
  I
• 57:39
  don't
• 57:39
  know,
• 57:42
  it's
• 57:42
  all
• 57:43
  gonna
• 57:43
  happen
• 57:43
  at
• 57:43
  once
• 57:43
  if
• 57:43
  it
• 57:43
  does
• 57:44
  happen
• 57:44
  because
• 57:44
  like
• 57:44
  there's
• 57:44
  no
• 57:45
  teeny
• 57:45
  tiny
• 57:45
  little
• 57:45
  tweak
• 57:46
  at
