  Speaker 2: time of year. So it's it's been going great.

  Speaker 2: But you get here and there was like, you know,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: one hundred players between major and minor league guys. Our
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: guys love coming here, love putting the work in, and
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: we have such a young team.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: It's a huge factor for us. So that's been great
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: to see.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Oh no, this is real quick. He wanted to point
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: out the outfit he did the gym.

  Speaker 3: Yep, that's exactly right.
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, but I say, I tell people this, We
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: joke about this. It's the for the men. It's the
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: sun dress for men. You can wear it unfancy, you
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: can wear it fancy, you can wear golfing. You wear
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: it at the beach, wear it at spring training, wear
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: it in the front office. It does everything. It's a
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: it's a utility player.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: I like McDonald.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: It's the John McDonald of men's wear.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: The twelve year veteran utility players.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Couldn't it Yep, field cord.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: And it looks and it looks nice. It's good, Mike.
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: When I was with the organization in twenty seventeen, I
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: got to see firsthand for an entire year what you
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: just talked about. You just said, Man, everybody's been down
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: here for a month. How how how deliberate is it
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: that you guys set it up so that your players
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: coming through the organization have a place to sept for
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: on like on Thanksgiving Day, on Christmas Day, and like
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: a week around Christmas in New Year's to always be
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: working out for the fans who don't know you guys,
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: have you have Turkey Camp. You have Jay Camp, which
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: is January. You have Christmas Camp, which is like December.
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: It's a very deliberate thing. But do you guys feel
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: like other organizations are like, Man, those guys are dumb
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: for doing that. And I think you guys get so
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: much value out of it because you're investing in your
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: people in the organization.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, first off, Eric, great to see you, man.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: But were you around when he was Yeah, when you fired.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Him, I'm probably the same as what it is today.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: But Chris is about me. It was all Chris's fault.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: It was all Chris's fault.
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: We'll get We'll get to that in a sec. You
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: can answer the question, but we'll get to you guys
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: firing me in a second.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: It's a competitive advantage for us.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, we are a young team where we're
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: one of the youngest teams in baseball, we have been
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: for years.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: We have to do things differently.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: We're a small market and in today economic environment in baseball,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: we can't go out and sign top tier free agents.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: It's just impossible with the economic landscape.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: So we have to do it through scouting and development,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and a huge part of that, as you guys all
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: know from your playing careers is your off season. You
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: have to find a way to raise the floor in
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: your off season, right, how do you just how do
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you keep building?
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: How do you whether it's a physical.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Profile, the bat speed, the velocity, the command, whatever it is,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: how you build those things in the off season and
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: really push the envelope on what you can do. So
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: we try to provide as many programs as we can
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: for our guys, and thankfully we have a culture where
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: guys buy into that and they love being out here together.
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: So it's one of those It's one of those things
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: that I spent a ton of time in other organizations.
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: You guys do it by far. I've always said the
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: best of anybody, and I think it's a value that
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: if other organizations knew it or did the same thing,
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: you guys would lose a competitive advantage. But we'll get
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: to it. Don't tell anybody else all the stuff, I
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: won't tell anybody else, Okay, But getting to the whole
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: fired me thing. I played the entire season in twenty seventeen,
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: and when I got hired in the beginning of twenty seventeen,
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: I told you guys, I said, you know what I said,
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: I'll help do whatever it takes to get to the
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: World Series. And on August thirty first I got I
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: got trades.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Shit.
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: By the way, we gotta wear helmets.
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: An feet behind the.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: But that's not even like who just needs need to
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: be testing. I saw the testers here earlier. Whoever hit
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: the ball, well, I gets the windows blowing out. But still.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: All that to say, one of my greatest prognostication moments
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: was you guys traded me to the Yankees, and you
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: called me into the office and I said, well, I
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: lied to you at the beginning of the year. Now
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: it's going to be the Yankees who are going to
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: have the best chance of making it to the World Series.
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: And do you remember in seventeen who knocked the Guardians
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: or the Indians time out of the playoffs?
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: You cursed us? How about?
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I can't believe it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: You traded me.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: I want every p of the trip a team, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: you traded me. So I blame you, guys. So anybody
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: who wants somebody to blame, turn off the guy.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: That's a good story.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: That is good. I like it.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: That's funny. All right. I want to go on something
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: you talked about you mentioned it. I don't know, I
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: don't like bringing this up, but you mentioned the whole
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: small market.
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: Yeah, right.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: As a GM of a small market team, small market,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: you know, you have to play within the margins or
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: outside the margins, try to find the small things. What's
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: that like on a daily basis? Explain to people that
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: are watching when your owner comes to you and says,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: here's your payroll, of your your budget one hundred and whatever,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: a million, fifty million, whatever, random numbers, and then you say, okay,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: how do I do this? And you talk about young guys?
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: But what's it like when you call free agents? Because
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: you do guys? Do you guys do sign for agents?
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: And you say, hey, look you know we won the
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: division where really good, we have young pitching, we have this,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: we have Jose, We need you to come. Can you
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: take do you go at? Can you take a million? Less?
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: Can?
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Right? How does that work? Because that it's got to
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: be put you in a bad situation at times and
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: it's not your fault to hand your dealt but you've
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: done a great job of it. So how do you
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: handle that when you call free agents?
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, first things first, we know who we are,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: and we don't sell ourselves as something else, and so
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: we have a lot of players that love being here
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: because of the culture that we create, and we're looking
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: for guys like that. So Austin Hedges continues to re
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: sign here because the opportunity we provide him and because
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: of the culture that hopefully he has been a part
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: of creating, but also that is here that he loves
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: playing in. And you see that with other guys, whether
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: it's some of the relievers that we sign, some of
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the starters we've signed over the years, or position players.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: This is a fun place to play.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And look, you can stack up payrolls as much as
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: you want, but we don't make excuses about payrolls. Over
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: the past ten years, we've been to the postseason seven times,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: so that we don't. We are stacking ourselves up on wins,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: not on payroll, and we try to create that winning
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: environment where guys know it's our internal guys that drive us.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: We look to compliment the team with great people and
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: great players, but it's the internal people here. It's the
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: internal players that have come up through our system that
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: are going to be the core of our success going forward.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I absolutely, absolutely love that answer is al Central guy
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Twins White sox al Central. I heard it all the time,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: especially when it was Twins, Oh, you can't compete because
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: you don't have so to hear you say what you
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: just It makes my heart happy because you know what
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: you are and you're like, we're going to figure this out,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: and you're competitive and you want to win. But the
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: one guy that's you just are like the perfect example
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: of that. Ze Ramiroz. You could have gotten probably more
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: on the open market, but he said, I love Cleveland,
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: I love what you guys are doing. I'm stay there
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: for life. And good for y'all for recognizing that and
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: saying here you go. Hosey.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: He sets the standard and he's the example. And for
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: him for him to have have had multiple times now
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: three times now, to have had the desire to want
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: to commit to being here, I mean that speaks volumes
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: and it's incredible and I'm so thankful for our ownership
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: group to be willing to invest back in him. But really,
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: he could have had many opportunities in his career, but
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the thing that was most important to him was committing
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: to hear and being the best player he could for
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the Cleveland Guardians, which is a pretty neat thing.
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: We got the Warby Parkers. I got the Raiders, but
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: one thing I upgraded to polarized. Sorry about it.
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah, these are good not only for wearing, but also
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: out in the sun. When I become that baseball coach
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: I always want to be with my kids. I got
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: the Hatchers. They're darker, a little bit wider for my face.
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: They fit perfect, They're comfortable. It's an easy process to
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: order these really really cool glasses.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I am a die hard Warby Parker fan. I do
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: have prescription glasses and I wear Warby Parker every day
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: for many years. I'm excited about this one. Give it
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: a shot. Warby Parker gives you quality and better looking
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: prescription I wear at a fraction of the going price.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Our listeners get fifteen percent off plus free shipping when
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: they buy two or more of prescription glasses at Warbyparker
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: dot com slash foul. That's fifteen percent off when you
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: buy two pairs of glasses at wa r B y
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Parker dot com slash foul. After you purchase, they will
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: ask you where you heard about them. Please support our
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: show and tell them foul Territory sent you. Let's get
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to the support staff. So can you go over what
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you did this offseason? And I asked this question nowadays,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: because there are still free agents, is there any chance
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: that somebody else gets added to the mix, as you know,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: prices changed this time of year.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's our job.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: We're we're scouring every whether it's guys we GETDFAD or
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: minor league free agents or major league free agents that
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: are out there.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: But again, like I was saying to AJ, it's the
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: core of our.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Success is going to be dictated by the guys that
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: we have here in camp. And yes, we're always looking
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: to add on the margins. And you saw us we
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: took an approach to this off season of really adding
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: some depth to our bullpen. We brought in three or
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: four different guys Sean Armstrong the key veteran, but three
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: or four different guys to help bolster our bullpen. But
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: this is going to come down to the young players
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: that we had, and the younger we got last year
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: towards the end of the year, the better we played. Right,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: we struggled early on. We had signed a few veterans,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: they didn't necessarily have the best first half of the season,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: but we came back from a fifteen and a half
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: game deficit because we went young and we doubled down
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: on giving those young guys opportunities.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: I'm going to go to one of your first playoff games.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: Chase the latter gets to play in his first game.
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: You as somebody who is part of the decision making process.
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: I see him playing in that first game, and obviously
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: he drops the fly ball, and that's what people are
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: going to remember. You guys couldn't find him any at
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: bats in September, Like, there wasn't any Like what were those.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Conversations like, So, I don't know if you remember it.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: He caught up his first flay ball really well though.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Oh man, that was the moment.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: That was.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: What I felt for him, and I felt for Voter
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: because Voter took a big leap of faith put him
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: out there. But Jason was unbelievable and how he bounced
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: back from that. Yeah, But it's so if you remember
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Chase the season last year, he started the year he
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: had a core area of surgery that he just basically
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: a similar type of thing, right, So he wasn't back
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: to playing in Triple A until midway through the year.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: He was just starting to get his feet underneath him
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: and build up his playing time, and then he had
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: a handmaid injury, so that set him back for another month,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: and he was actually in Arizona. The guy had not
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: had live at bats against in game pitching since probably
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: July when he did the hanmdmate and he's taken, you know,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: swings off of our traject machine and off of machines
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: out here, and he shows up and he plays in
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: that playoff game. So it's not that we couldn't find
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: it bats for him in September, it's that he had
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: had the handmads set back, and he did everything he
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: possibly could to put himself in a position to help us,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: but he had to do that in a rehab setting.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: And then a huge credit to him to be able
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: to just walk into a game and despite you know,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: the sort of miss cue on the fly ball, had
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: one of the better at bats i've seen any of
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: our guys in his first playoff at bat right after that.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: But you know, you were nervous, right, oh man. You
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: know we talked to a voter about it in the
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: same way drops the you guys like, what are we
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: the way, you know. But but it worked out.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: One of the coolest things was Tanner Bibby's reaction to
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: it in the dugout. Tanner came up to him immediately
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: and said, put it past you, and just that I
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: can only imagine as a young player when you hear
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: that from a veteran picture who's out there busting his
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: tail off, and that just happened. For him to come
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: over there and put his arm around you and say,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: don't sweat it, let's move past it.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: That had a huge impact.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: That you just called him a veteran. He's got like
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: three years back.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Right on our team.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: That's the month in the big legs over the guy
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: who hadn't played a regular season game. All right. So
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: the one thing about the Guardians is they're known to
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: develop pictures. You guys are known to develop pictures. How
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: do you get the position player development to match the
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: picture developed.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we have this reputation of developing pictures and
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: rightfully mean trusin crowds.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Let's us know all the time. He says, that's why
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: his career ended so quickly after being a Guardians, because
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: you guys didn't develop improperly.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: That's not there you go, right, But we have we
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: have had waves where we've had similar types of position
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: player development. I mean, you know, you probably remember the
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: teams whe Jose Ramirez and Francisco Lindor and Jason Kipnis
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: and a lot of really strong young position players, and
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: we've we've sort of gone through waves. The current wave
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: and the group that we had to start the season
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: last year really scuffled offensively. That wasn't that's not the norm.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: That was just the past year or two we have
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: scuffled offensively. I think what we're really optimistic about is,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: like I said, the younger we got, the better we played.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: We provided opportunities for Kyle Manzardo, Cjkafis, George Valera, P. D. Halp,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: and some of these young guys that had been in
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: our system, and when we did that, our offense was
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: significantly better.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: All Right, I got two for you to finish up here.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: So one is a fan question, and we've had quite
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: a few of these while this is going on. They
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: want to know about Travis Bozana, chances of break camp,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: just where he's at in general.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're excited about Travis's future. I mean, this is
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: a guy who we met with him pre draft before
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: we took him one to one. I've never met a
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: player in my twenty three years here with this type
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: of mindset. I mean, this guy is so focused on
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: improvement and getting the most out of his ability he
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: possibly can, and he showed that every step of the way.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: He had a couple of injury setbacks last year with
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: his oblique that sort of slowed down his timeframe, but
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: when he was healthy, he was good and we're excited
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: about what his future can bring. He's, as you probably know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: he's going to go play in the WBC with Team Australia.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: It was hugely important to him, even in thinking about
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: this several years ago, that if he had a chance
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: to represent his country, he would want to do that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: So that'll take him out of camp a little bit.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Once he gets back, we'll make sure we get him
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: in games see where things go.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: And we don't ever set timetables on players, so.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Now you can't say he's coming up in twenty twenty six.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, we are looking for great players to impact
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: our team, and.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: It's the sets the GM talk.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Don't you don't know, Yes, my son dress of it
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: might just.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Rub off on all gms. As soon as they put
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: the corners of on, they all have the same talk
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: and the same lingo. It's amazing how the quarters have
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: just I love it.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Here's what we tell players. It's two things. One your
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: own readiness. You can control that. Two opportunity you can't
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: control that, right, So how does how we have to
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: help a player see that? Focus on what you can control,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: that's your own readiness and the opportunity hopefully takes care
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: of itself. And whenever that opportunity is there, make sure
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: that you're as ready as you can to take over
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: that opportunity.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: All right, Last one, no more on field stuff. Like
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: I said before, the people you hire in the environment
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: that you created is one of the best that I
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: was ever part of in an organization standpoint, how do
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: you guys deal with because that is your number one
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: priority that I saw when drafting guys, retaining guys, whatever
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: it is when you have a class A type of situation,
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: Because that's like for me, seeing that coming out of
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: the Guardians organization is like shocking to me if I
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: saw from other organizations. But how did you guys deal
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: with that? Because it's really tough for you guys to
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: go that far outside of something that you normally aren't doing.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: It's a great point, Eric, I mean that hit us hard.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Look Colt, Like you said, we have to separate ourselves.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: We can't do it with the economics. We have to
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: do it in other ways. And culture is such a
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: huge part of what we do.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: Our scouts do.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: A phenomenal job of understanding and learning the makeup of
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: each player, and we try to bring in great people,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: not just great players. And we do the same thing
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: with coaches and scouts and whoever that we're bringing into
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: the organization, so we can separate ourselves with culture. And
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: when something like that happens, man, it's a knock to
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: the whole organization, obviously what it does on the field,
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: but also what it does off the field. I think
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: what I would say is how our guys bounce back
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: from something like that tells you everything you need to know.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, our guys were pissed, they were not happy.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I'm sure you've talked to some.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Of our players.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Still, every time I read anything about it, I'm cringing.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: It makes my stomach unspettled. Just to see some of
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the stuff that's been written about and yet our guys
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: never gave up from the.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: Date I give I give a Voter so much credit.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: You know, obviously two time defending Manager of the Year.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: But I went in and did a game for you
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: guys in Fox August Ish and I the question has
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: to come up. You hate asking the question, YEP, And
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: he says, listen, I had a meeting right after, and
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: our guys actually handled it. Not they used that as
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: a positive sid weady to do it without them and
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: show them that, you know, it wasn't all him, and
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: we're gonna and it actually kind of I don't want
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: to say galvanized it for a terrible situation, but it
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: brought you guys together, the players and Voter obviously did
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: a tremendous job making that.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: I'll have no doubt about it. Voter is a huge
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: part of that.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: From the day class was suspended to the end of
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: the season, we had the number one Bullpenny r and baseball,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: which to me tells me everything.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: He didn't need to know.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: You lose the guy who is maybe the highest performing
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: closer in all baseball, and everybody just stepped up in
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: and performed even better. These are things we have to
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: deal with at our jobs. That's why I'm going gray
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: at such a young age.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: It by the way, speaking of so he started as
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: an intern, Mike started as an intern and free right,
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: So you know who Dave Saint Peter is. Yeah, so
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: that you're like on the Dave Saint Peter track, right.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Dave Saint Peter was a guy with the Twins that
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: was started in the mailroom and he ended as president
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: of the Twins.
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: So Mike's going from intern.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: He's at GM now. Now he's just got to get
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Chris Antonetti, his crats, his buddy to step aside, and
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: then he can go to president of Baseball off.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: And I've been trying to knock him off to the sacrom.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: He just won't leave. You guys seem to have a
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: good relationship, so I think.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, yeah, they've got a good thing going.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: And see that's good. All the interns that reach out
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: all the time, you know you are it is important
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: making impression and then places will keep you and you'll rise.
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: It is a really good message for those trying to
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: get involved in the game. Really appreciate the time. Awesome
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: to get you for some time here in person, for
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: aj out of camp. Thanks for having us there for
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the day and good luck this season.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Thank you guys, great talking with you.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: We got the big rig here. Gavin Williams, you had
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: my muted Mark. Every time Mark touches something, it goes
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: to hell here. So just keep Mark away from everything,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: okay in your life if you possible. Well, we got
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: the big rig here. Gavin Williams. You had an unbelievable
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: second half. If you didn't see Gavin Williams numbers last year,
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: check him out, boys and girls, because he had an
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: unbelievable season, almost to a no hitter, almost almost got
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: the We talked to you about it, and just an
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: unbelievable season for you, especially the second half. What I'm
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: just gonna dig what change?
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: Honestly starting from uh, I think it was the Giants series,
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: went in there on the off day to a pen,
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: worked on a little bit of delivery stuff, added the
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: cutter back. I think that's when we started throwing the
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: cutter a little bit more and then started the sinker
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: I think halfway right before the halfway point. Honestly, just
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: it opened up the holes one for me, open the
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: top opened the bottom outer half, helped.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Out a lot, Kevin, Was that the moment or was
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: that the second half that you were like, Oh, finally
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: I can hear people stop saying so much potential. He's
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: got so much potential. Was that annoying to you because
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: I never had anybody say that I had potential, So
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: I have no idea what that's like.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: Honestly, I wasn't hearing that too much. I try to
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: stay off of social media as much as possible. I
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: don't really care what other people say or anything like that.
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: I try to do what I can do and what
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: I can control. At any point, you.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Mentioned like what you change and what you did we
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: started throwing strikes? Was that finely but not finally? But
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: it's not like you went out there. You know, every
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: person from little league to the big leagues just throw
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: a strike. It's not like you're not trying to throw
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: a strike. For sure, the mentality change. Did something change
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: in your mechanics?
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: I think I was just frustrated with myself at the beginning,
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: Like the first half, I would say, I was trying
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: to go through some delivery changes, and then it finally
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: clicked and that that one off day throwing the pen.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: So I think when when it finally clicked, everything just
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: came together for me.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: It happened like that, right, Yeah.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: Honestly I did much needed.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the voter didn't sit you down, Carl Willis didn't
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: sit you down. It was just inside yourself.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: That And I think the All Star break really helped
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: me out with like a little reset that those four
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: days just get my mind away from the game. It
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: really helped out.
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: Are you competitive?
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I say so. I tried not to show it
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: as much. I don't want to get too frustrated with myself.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: I think at times I try to be too perfect
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: with things, and I don't want to get too frustrated
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: with myself and bring it out where other people can.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: Other people can see that.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: Okay, because we see how we see how emotional Tanner
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: can get. Do you tell him to like relax because
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: we look at your demeanor and I assume you're really competitive?
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: Kind of rhetorical question. I assumed that. But you look
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: at his demeanor and he's like, wow, man, oh this
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: and that and everything, and then you talk to him
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: he's like, yeah, you know what, I'm just trying my best.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: Do you calm him down or do you try to,
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: like prode the horse a little bit.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: I think it's a little bit of both. Uh, everybody's different.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: I try to get on him a little bit, try
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: to poke at him, stab at him with anything that
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: I can, uh, And most of the time he just
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: laughs at it with anything I say to him. Do
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: you guys have the biggest pitching staff in the league
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: like I was, and like Thigh, I think the whole
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: like staff period. We got some big bodies and on
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: the whole staff.
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Occasionally Goddess, Goddess just sat of here. You Biby's
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: not small. People will look at Biby be like he's
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: the little guy.
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Stuff.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: I mean you got Sean Armstrong now, yeah, I mean Joey.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: Joey's pretty big too. Yeah, I mean I got a
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: huge staff. You guys ever thought about picking up basketball?
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: I mean in the off season, clearly? I mean I
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: was a center in middle school, seventh grade center.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: Middle school?
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, one year.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: What happened after that?
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: No, not at all. He played a couple of games
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: and I was out.
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: That was it.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: So you didn't do high school? And were you bigger
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: than everyone in middle school? And then I will no
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: one ever really catches up bigger than everybody.
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: I know, I was not bigger than everybody in middle school.
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: I was like the little guy. I was like five foot,
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: four hundred pounds. It looked like I was like a
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: little bowling ball. So when did your height hit, like
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: junior or high school? Did you go like six eight inches, yeah,
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: something like that. I think it was like six foot gone, yeah,
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: six seventh. It was like six foot going in the
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: high school, and then by the end of it was
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: like six sixty five sixty six.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Oh wow. And then is that when you started getting
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: recruited and all that. Yeah, honestly I started getting recruited
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: sophomore you're high school, but I was playing different positions
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: obviously didn't finally hit I think it was ninety four
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: y five on the gun, and that ended all the
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: other positions.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, worked out for me.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when you're six five and you throw ninety five.
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: He went, he went to the rig went to East Carolina.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: I have to go to East Carolina in a couple
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: of weeks. My son plays at UAB Okay, so I
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: know this is way off topics. The best place ever.

• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Get a couple of those and have.
• 25:07

• 25:24
  Speaker 6: That's what I was gonna ask. That's what I was
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: gonna ask. Now, obviously college baseball just started. You sit there.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: I assume you at least check on some of the
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: game scores. Do you follow a guy like Trey You
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: Savage or or some of your ex teammates that are
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: playing in the league, and you go okay. I kind
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: of like it when they do well, even not against us,
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: but I like watching them and like pay attention to
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: where they're at.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, I'm always watching any kind of easy
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: you guys and checking up and checking up on them, uh,
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: seeing how how they're doing. I mean, opens up the
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: mat for easty you and shows guys that there's products
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: that come out of you.

  Speaker 4: See you by the way you see how they did
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: this weekend?
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: That terrible. Yep, I don't want to talk about it.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: One of my best friend's kids plays at Zavy. We
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: had a great weekend really, so we won't talk. We
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: want to talk about good place.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're keeping up. You're a big college baseball fan,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: and if so, like where where do you think the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: game is at right now? Like the state of college baseball?
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: Honestly, I think it's a good point. I think that
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: I think the game is growing in all aspects. I
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: think there's so many more people watching the game now,
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: and I mean you bring in the pitchclock and more
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: people are watching because games are going by quicker. So
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I think it's at a good point right now.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I agree. And do you think the money helps? I
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: mean Seriously, guys have a lot more reason to stay,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: and for some of them, if the financial reasons are important,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: they can maybe wait a year to get the big
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: signing bonus from the draft.
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure. I think money play is a lot
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: in anything. Really. I think anytime you get paid doing anything,
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: everybody's going to stick around and try to stay as
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: long as possible.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: How much did you get zero?
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: I wish I got paid.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I wish it wasn't there yet, right, did you just
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: miss it the cutoff?
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: How much have you gotten now? Though this is this
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: is the game that everybody plays, like, how much would
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: you have gotten? As in the fact that you were
• 27:26
  Speaker 6: a first rounder they would have won. Did you keep
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: you around? Were you loyal to ECU? Because I heard
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: the guys who aren't loyal to the school, they're the
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: ones that get to pay the most because they're like,
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: I'm gone, I'm going to the highest bidder.
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, loyalty right now isn't a thing. It's whoever is
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: going to get the most money. And I'd say I
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: was pretty loyal to you. See you. I bleed purple
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: and golden. I love it. I live I live there
• 27:51

• 28:31
  Speaker 4: there was a very famous movie. Have you seen Kate

• 29:02
  Speaker 4: watching like all the top one hundred listed movies. You know,
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: so I figure, but if there was a movie made
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: about my hometown, I would watch it just to know
• 29:10

  Speaker 1: No de Niro, but a DVD he's got. You gotta
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: rent it.

• 33:02
  Speaker 4: to shake my hand and I just need him to
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: go pick a no, no, not your left hand, your
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: right hand on dirty.
• 33:07
  Speaker 9: This thing is I just got straight off the field
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: on dirty like hey, but he touched it.
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: It isn't sticky spider.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: Is that is that the Guardian? Is that what it is?
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: From a couple of moons ago? Maybe? But it was uh,
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: it was uh the hair Joel.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: It was beard bomb. That's why I started growing one.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: Out Delaware mud. Yeah. But he went to shake my hand.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm not touching that thing dirty.
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: It is sanitized.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: Allegedly that's worse. Actually, that just moves the germs around
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: instead of actually killing.
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: You're talking about being an old time when you're worried
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: about germs.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: I don't want no flu from you. It was on
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: that ball house camp going so far. We were just
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: talking about stretching. We saw you guys out here stretching.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: Did you do anything today other than stretch your days over?
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 34:00
  Speaker 9: I stretched, I threw, I did a little shadow work
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: on the mound, and now I'm here and then I
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: go home. It's pretty easy for the first you know,
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: first few weeks you should have been pittocrats.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, think about it. It's eleven o'clock. He's like,
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: I'm already done, and then it get on the field
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: till nine thirty.
• 34:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's I mean the days where you don't get
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: on the mound as a picture. It's kind of like
• 34:23
  Speaker 9: you gotta find stuff to do. That's why so many
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: of us like playing cards just killed time.
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: I mean I always asked this position players wish we're
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: over at Royals camp yesterday and we talked to Jack
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: Cagle one who threw a hundred from the left side,
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: and it's like, do you ever look at pictures and go, man,
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: their life must suck. Do you ever look at position
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: players and go, man, their life must suck. They have
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: to do all this stuff that doesn't doesn't look as
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: fun as being a picture.
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: I think it looks more fun than being a picture,
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: but it's way more difficult.
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: It's way more fun.
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: But it's also like I'm impressed every day with what
• 34:58
  Speaker 9: some of these guys can do. Like I watched these
• 35:00
  Speaker 9: guys turn around Hunter moin our heaters, like on day one,
• 35:04
  Speaker 9: It's like, how how are you?
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: How do you show up ready to do that? But
• 35:07
  Speaker 7: they're just built different.
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: Now do you?
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: What do you do? Then it's eleven o'clock, you're gonna
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: go in, You're gonna I'm assuming you're gonna take a shower.
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I stick around here for a while.
• 35:14
  Speaker 9: I like watching the bullpens, watching the live vps. I'm
• 35:18
  Speaker 9: still a self proclaimed pitching nerd, so I like looking
• 35:21
  Speaker 9: at all the metrics on everything.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: You have a trash talker, do you sit behind like
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: the same vps and your boys are out there?
• 35:26
  Speaker 9: I don't know, Oh yeah, I'll say yes, be it
• 35:29
  Speaker 9: on a on a check swing like I'm I'm playing umpire.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: Ticket or you like I got you?
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, they yell when they hit homers. I got
• 35:37
  Speaker 7: a yelling. I guy punches somebody out.
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, I can live with that art then, so you're
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: out of here by eleven thirty. Then after all that
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: nonsense is done, So then what.
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: Usually I would try to fish?
• 35:48
  Speaker 9: I do that Arizona exactly. If you want to go
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: catch karp, you can go to the community pond with
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: some bread. But like that gets old pretty quick.
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: You know. I've tried a few times.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: Hyaking on your Instagram and all that.
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: I don't have the kayak out here.
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: If I did, i'd be going going down the Salt
• 36:02
  Speaker 9: River a couple of times a week.
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: But it's a lot to ship that thing out.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: There's like a Dicks over there.
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but then they got to sell it before I
• 36:11
  Speaker 7: leave or bring it with me, and.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: You're smart, you can just leave it here and next
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: year you use the same one.
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: You This is a veteran right here.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: Florida, Florida, Miami.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Hang it on, Miami.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: Isn't Miami? Isn't it's own like place?
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: When you when you watch up.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: School, public school?
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, whatever, that's private.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: Come on, I didn't go there, doctor Phillips.
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: Maybe they went to doctor Phillips.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: No, I went to you.
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: Okay, okay, Harvard, Correctly, it's.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: More like Harvard Princeton combined of the cell.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Got it, Orlando.
• 36:54
  Speaker 6: When you watch when you're your day is done, Your
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: day is done. Now we already hit on that plenty.
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: When you's the minor leaguers, which are all the dudes
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: that are walking by to the clover leaf, do you say, man,
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: I want to tell those guys what? Like, what's the
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: one thing you'd want to tell them now that you
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: are an established big leaguer.
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: I would say, be excited when you fail. Get excited
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: by failure, because baseball is a game of failure, and
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: the longer you play it, the more you're going to fail.
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: And every time you fail, that's just another opportunity for
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: you to learn something that's going to make you better
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: the next time you play.
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: So I think that's the biggest thing.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: By the way, I prouds. I have to say this.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: You mentioned the minor leaguers walking by, So the big
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: leaguers here have different jerseys, so he doesn't have his jersey,
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: but it's a clear difference on the back right, which
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: is fine. But I didn't know that my is minor
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: league camp already started.
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: I don't think it's officially okay kicking off.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: Because it's very obvious who are the big leaguers and
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: newer the support players, which is the minor league guys
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: here for big league camp. Because even when you guys
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: were stretching, you're like, this side was big leaguers, that
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: side was different.
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: It's like the full like lettering and then the white
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: lettering is what they do. I know some teams do
• 38:14
  Speaker 9: like gray pants white pants. I think it's more of
• 38:17
  Speaker 9: just an organizational thing.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Looking like a higher round upon them. Well, no, before
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: you talk to somebody, you say.
• 38:23
  Speaker 7: Oh on, let me see waiting, do you have no?
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: I wore that lettering for a lot longer enough one
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: than the new lettering.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: So, hey, when'd you work on this offseason? What's your
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: relationship like with your pitching repertoire heading into camp.
• 38:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't think you're going to see as many
• 38:42
  Speaker 9: big differences as you saw last year with my not
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: only rep so I wrote my mechanics, everything's going to
• 38:48
  Speaker 9: look very similar. We worked on sharpening up some of
• 38:52
  Speaker 9: the off speed, just as you're probably gonna hear every
• 38:56
  Speaker 9: picture say at this point, sharpening their secondary stuff and
• 38:59
  Speaker 9: looking to get more more chase and more and more
• 39:02
  Speaker 9: weak contact with that stuff, and also sharpening up the
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: attack plan and figuring out what are my weak contact
• 39:11
  Speaker 9: pitches that I use early in the accunts, what are
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: my whift pitches that I use late in the counts.
• 39:15
  Speaker 9: Trying to paint that picture because last year was a
• 39:17
  Speaker 9: lot of trial and error for me because I had
• 39:19
  Speaker 9: so much, so much new stuff going into the years.
• 39:22
  Speaker 9: Now that we have so much data on you know,
• 39:25
  Speaker 9: my success and my failure from last year, it's going
• 39:27
  Speaker 9: to be an easier picture to paint this year.
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: Do you feel like you're able to blend enough of
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: the you said, self proclaimed baseball nerd blend what you're
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: seeing in your pitch shapes to where their swing plan
• 39:44
  Speaker 6: is or what you're seeing in game, or when it
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: you're not seeing it in game, does it just oh crap,
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: just got to go off the rails and try to
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: figure it out.
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: The simple answer is absolutely not. I'm not that good.
• 39:57
  Speaker 9: I wish I was, but no, when I get on
• 39:59
  Speaker 9: the mound, I have to compete and I have to
• 40:01
  Speaker 9: work with what I got that day, and I got
• 40:03
  Speaker 9: to trust my catchers are going to make those adjustments
• 40:08
  Speaker 9: for me. If they see that my cutters really sharp
• 40:11
  Speaker 9: and maybe my sinker is a little flat, they're gonna
• 40:13
  Speaker 9: talk to me between innings and say, hey, we're gonna
• 40:15
  Speaker 9: we're gonna call it cutter more and we're gonna go
• 40:17
  Speaker 9: to spin if my sinkers really sink in and my
• 40:19
  Speaker 9: four seams really right, and it's like, hey, we might go.
• 40:22
  Speaker 9: We might go a little firmer than the attack plan
• 40:24
  Speaker 9: said today. And my job is just to throw the
• 40:26
  Speaker 9: ball where they put the glove, and you know, execute
• 40:31
  Speaker 9: what they asked me to execute.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: What's your what's your relationship? As far as Kate Smith,
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: I want to throw your four seam fastball right, yeah, Biby,
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: I want to throw your off speed pitches. Do you
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: go to those guys and say, hey, how do you
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: throw that? How do you hold it? And can you
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: help me shape my pitches? Differently, not only Carl Willis,
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: who's obviously been a pitching coach, I feel like for
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: like fifty years.
• 40:55
  Speaker 7: Right, Well, it's actually I think he's actually pretty close
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: to that.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: Up to me and gave me a hug, and I said, Carl,
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: why do people talk so good about you? And He's like, well,
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: you were an asshole. They say bad things about you.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: I was like, I can't figure it out. But he's
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: been doing this forever, so you can go to him.
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: Do you go to your other pitchers? Do you go
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: to who do you go to when you say, oh,
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: I want to work on you know, your two seamer
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: or four seemer.
• 41:19
  Speaker 9: I think personally, I try to find guys that match
• 41:23
  Speaker 9: my profile of pitch and mechanics, like I naturally pronate,
• 41:28
  Speaker 9: So I wouldn't go to Biby to ask him about
• 41:30
  Speaker 9: how I throw something because he's a natural supernat So
• 41:33
  Speaker 9: we're gonna the ball is gonna come out of our hand. Differently,
• 41:36
  Speaker 9: Cad Smith is Cad Smith. Nobody can do what he
• 41:39
  Speaker 9: does with the baseball. But I can't still ask those
• 41:42
  Speaker 9: guys questions about the metal game or about their preparation routines.
• 41:46
  Speaker 9: If I were to go trying to find like a
• 41:49
  Speaker 9: pitch or a movement profile that I want to like,
• 41:51
  Speaker 9: I try to find somebody that matches my delivery a
• 41:54
  Speaker 9: little bit closer, and then I can work on, Okay,
• 41:57
  Speaker 9: how do you manipulate.
• 41:58
  Speaker 7: The baseball based on how you move? How you do this?
• 42:02
  Speaker 9: But there's certainly things you can learn from everybody. I mean,
• 42:04
  Speaker 9: everybody has their specialty areas in this game where they
• 42:08
  Speaker 9: excel and maybe it might not be like a direct
• 42:11
  Speaker 9: correlation to me, but I can learn something from them
• 42:15
  Speaker 9: that will apply to me.
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: It's like you're watching your team. I'm sure you guys
• 42:20
  Speaker 6: have a group thread. Did you guys send messages to
• 42:23
  Speaker 6: each other when other teams keep signing guys? Or you
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: just are you resident to the fact that you know
• 42:29
  Speaker 6: what guardians are going to be, who we are. We're
• 42:32
  Speaker 6: just gonna play and you know the team that we
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: have on the field is the team? Or do you
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: get a little jealous that the biggest move was just
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: an extension for Hosey.
• 42:44
  Speaker 9: I think that group that especially like I mean the
• 42:47
  Speaker 9: whole team last year, but especially that September group became
• 42:51
  Speaker 9: so close through what we accomplished and going into the offseason.
• 42:57
  Speaker 9: We were pretty excited when we found out that that
• 43:00
  Speaker 9: group was going to be the team that we went
• 43:02
  Speaker 9: with next year because we bonded so tightly. We formed
• 43:07
  Speaker 9: really really close relationships, and the banter day one was there.
• 43:12
  Speaker 9: The jokes are flying, the focus is intense. So I
• 43:16
  Speaker 9: don't think any we we didn't have any conversations about it.
• 43:18
  Speaker 9: We were just excited that the same group of guys
• 43:21
  Speaker 9: that brought us to a division title we're going to
• 43:23
  Speaker 9: be back in the locker room.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: Like it.
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: Before we let you go, I have to ask, we
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: need to we need to for shot. Oh gosh, So
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: Scott went to Miami, like yes, yes. The other day
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: we had Trisha Whittaker on Okay, used to be the
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: Race Silent. She does Apple TV. I don't know if
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: you've met her yet, I don't think so. But she
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: went to Indiana. Okay, I see it's over from the
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: Indiana football game.
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: So Tim Herron is an Indiana Hoosier. C J.
• 43:59
  Speaker 9: We got we got more Miami guys. So I mean
• 44:02
  Speaker 9: Tim has been good about it. He's you know, do
• 44:05
  Speaker 9: you guys have a bet? Did you make We didn't
• 44:07
  Speaker 9: have a bet. No, he didn't. He didn't wear us
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: out too much about it. I know j jir travel
• 44:11
  Speaker 9: secretary wore some Indiana stuff and gave me a little
• 44:14
  Speaker 9: crap day on.
• 44:15
  Speaker 7: But they've taken it well.
• 44:18
  Speaker 9: I think they embody that Kurt Signetti mentality of let
• 44:22
  Speaker 9: your let you're on the field stuff do the talking.
• 44:24
  Speaker 7: You know, I would have football, oh Miami. I mean
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: it would have been.
• 44:33
  Speaker 9: It would have been a circus in the best way possible,
• 44:35
  Speaker 9: and I would have been I would have been a
• 44:37
  Speaker 9: big part of it because I love it, you know.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: Off the difference is the Kurt signetty hard working, keep
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: your mouth shut, do your job, Miami.
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: It's hard working. We just don't keep our mouth shut.
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: We work hard. We'd like to talk our ship sometimes,
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: you know. Yeah.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: And also, as AJ actually said the other day, it
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: was twenty five year old against twenty year olds, so
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: that's a big difference.
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: We got a lot of old men on that team,
• 45:04
  Speaker 7: some grown men.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: Person is like thirty five, so at some point.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: Well besides him, the rest of you though, no JJ
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: didn't you say. I used team is like the oldest
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: team or whatever.
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: And they were pretty old.
• 45:15
  Speaker 9: I mean it'sah, college football is SOMI pro football now
• 45:18
  Speaker 9: it's kind of like college football nil.
• 45:20
  Speaker 7: Now it's just how.
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: Much do you give to Miami to keep their NIO going? Jee?
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: I know, JD hits you up.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: They made so much money just now. They don't need
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: they don't need your money. They don't need my money.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: I know from a first source. They made dumb amounts
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: of money. They're good for a while now, so everyone's good.
• 45:37
  Speaker 7: That's good to know. So now I have that in
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: my back pocket.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: When I get to JD's at some point, it'll it'll
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: be the locker room or do something.
• 45:45
  Speaker 7: They just redid the locker room. It looks great, look
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: really good. I'm good.
