  Speaker 1: change going over from Milwaukee to Kansas City and what
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: you know, your expectations, and what you're looking most forward to.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's obviously a new team. Uh, you know,
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: it feels good to kind of a clean slate and
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: just you know, start fresh. And you know, I can
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: just really be myself and I don't I don't need
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: to uh, you know, live up to any expectations or anything.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I just you know, I can just be me.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: And I know, uh, I learned last year, you know,
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: my rookie season that you know, my game works, and
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: if I can just be the best version of myself
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: each day, you know I can I can help the
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: team win. And you know, all the people I've met
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: in Casey so far, they're you know, great people. I've
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: learned very quickly that the organization is you know, very
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: family friendly and uh, you know, relationship first, and that's
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: always that always makes the transition easy. You know, I
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: got drafted by Colorados. This is my third organization, but
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: first time, you know, going from one big league club
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: to another.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: So it's been good.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: You know, the guys are great, and you know, I'm
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: ready to get to work.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah. The org is pro, they're pro. They take care
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: of your family, all that stuff. The Brewers they were
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: pro too, So I think you're you know, you're lucky
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: you're going from from one to another. But we just
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: had to Jake magnem one the other day. Two guys,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: both of you made your big lead debuts older than
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: the mainstream media shows, the guys who you know, come
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: up at twenty one or twenty two years old. How like,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: were you like, why am I getting traded? Like I
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: just got here? Uh?
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: I mean us to know, you know that that outfield
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: room in Milwaukee was crowded. You know, there's some there's
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: a ton of talent there. And uh, like you said,
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: you know with those older guys that that debut later,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: you know, not necessarily a first round pick or you know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: not much invested in I kind of knew I was expendable,
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: I guess.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: And that's just kind of the big the business side
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: of baseball.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: And you know, I'm I'm blessed to go to an
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: organization that you know values me. And that's that's really
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: what it comes down to. And you know, I just
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: I just want an opportunity. You know, I've I've I've.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Worked so hard throughout the minor leagues.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: You know, I've dealt with uh, you know, just doubt
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: and you know, wondering like is this really gonna work out?
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Do I need to start, you know, think about something else,
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: but uh, you know, finally break through and see success
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: and then you know, started with this new organization and
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: and you know that I have an extremely good opportunity
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: in front of me. You know, that's that's all I
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: can really ask for as a baseball player. And so
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: it's it's it's extremely exciting.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: How do you know they value? What did they say?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Like obviously it traded for you, but you know there's
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: been times where people get traded and it's like, well
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: it's because you have options or you have you know
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: this thing like you had a legit year last year.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: What did the Royals tell you, to tell you that
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: you're valued.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Uh, they just they liked my game and they said
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: that they think he would play extremely well in Cofferince
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Stadium and just my.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: On base ability and.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: You know, table setter type of guy, and they just
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: they made it clear that hey, you know, we need
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: some help and we think you're the guy that can
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: help us.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: So that's that just feels great to hear because it seems.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Like my entire career, dating back to when I was drafted,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: it was always like trying to prove what type of
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: player I am and prove to people that I can,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: you know, be a big lead, and you know, to
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: get that validation of you know, you're you're here to
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: help us. Is it's almost like a weightlift off my
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: shoulders and now I can just go out there and
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: be myself and just be the best version of me
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: and and the helpless win each night.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Does it change your game that they're moving the fences
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: in because Kaufman, when I played there, it was like,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: you know, you had Alex Gordon platinum glove, you had
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: you had Lorenzo Caine gold glove. Gerrod Dyson was sitting
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: on the bench gold glove like now they're moving it in.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Does that mean they're gonna say, hey, Isaac, we need
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: to put on thirty pounds and hit forty dangers.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: They haven't.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: They haven't said that to me yet.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: But uh, well, I mean they're bringing the fences in
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: the gaps, so you know, I know the corners are
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: pretty big. I haven't played at Coffin yet, so I'm
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: not I'm not even quite sure how exactly it plays.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: But I know there's a lot of grass out there,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: and uh, you know, I love it on the outfield,
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: and so I mean, we'll see, we'll see how it plays.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not quite sure how it's gonna affect us.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you know those leaders are gonna
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: get caught more or you know that triples, alleys just
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: it's it's gonna be, you know, tough to get to third.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: But uh, you know, we'll see. I don't plan on
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: changing my game. I'm just gonna be me and uh
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: if that ends up with a few more home runs,
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: and that'd be great.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Isaac.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: You left Milwaukee, which has been a special place, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: do you guys want to you want a ton of games,
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: including last year the best record in baseball? What what
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: the fans loved you? It seemed like, because there's a
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: lot of nice messages when you got traded. What's it
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: like leaving a place like Milwaukee for another great baseball
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: town like Kansas City?
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: And what did Murph say to you?
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: What what's so special about Pat Murphy? Besides that he
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: has a nickname for everybody? And what was your nickname?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Milwaukee always start first question. Milwaukee is a great city.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, uh, it's kind of one of those like
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Midwest cities. It's like a little forgotten, you know, a
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: little It's like an underdog city, which kind of just
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: perfectly describes a type of player I am and the
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: type of team that we had. So and and the
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: city really got behind us, you know, through through those
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: July August months when we got super hot, and by
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: the end of the year, it was just it was crazy,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: you know, like getting recognized in public and stuff like
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: it was just like, is this is this real life?
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Like what's what's going on? This is this is an
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: unbelievable run we're going on. And and yeah, I mean
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: murk he set the tone in the clubhouse. He set
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: the culture of what it was all about, and it
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: was ultimately just you know, we're taking this thing one
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: pitch at a time, and we're gonna be you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: relentless every single pitch of every single night throughout the
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: entire season. And that's what's gonna take us over the edge.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: That's what's gonna you know, get us to win the
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: division and beat these bigger market teams whenever you want
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: to call it. But again, like I feel that exact
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: same you know, vibe coming to KC as well, Like
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: it's another smaller market team that just has some grit
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: to it and some competitiveness, and you know, we've got
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: the pieces to make a run, and it's ultimately just
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: going to come down to executing you know, every single
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: pitch every single night. And again, like I'm ready to
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: get to work. Like I said, we got all the
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: pieces to do it. It's just you know, putting it
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: on paper.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: A right Rookie of the Year voting, did you feel
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: like you should have ended at least before in front
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: of in front of Durban And does he hold that
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: over you as your teammate, because I mean you look
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: at some of the numbers, and some of the numbers
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: can be manipulated. You had a little bit of a
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: better year. So do you say that should have been me?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Durban and I are actually really good friends.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: We shared a fantasy football team this past offseason and
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: did really well, So I didn't give them any any
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: crap for you. I actually congratulated him when I saw
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: that he finished third, So I mean third fourth, like it,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: what's the difference? Like neither of us want So it's
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: like I can't. I can't give him, you know, too
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: much crap for that. But uh, yeah, he did.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: A great year.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: And you know, to know that there's another rookie on
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: the team with me like fighting to you know, stay
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: up and just help the team win. And you know
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: he's he's a little scrapper and overlooks guy just like me,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: and uh, you know, we we create a good relationship
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: and we're still still friends, still keeping in touch, and
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm gonna fall along and hopefully he has
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: another solid year.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait, there's no difference. Isn't there a bonus
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: for the top the top three and Rookie of the
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Year voting?
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean yeah, I guess there's there's a little
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: bit of a difference.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: But uh, you know, well it doesn't matter.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: No. Now, well, all that time, next time you guys
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: are on the same fantasy team or this year, he
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: should have paid for the whole fantasy team because.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: He had exact votes.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: And every dinner that you guys go out when Casey
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: plays Milwaukee once a year, he's got to pay.
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's all I was gonna say. He'll be down
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: here in Arizona soon, so I'll make sure he picks
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: up the tab.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Perfect. Now, you just answered my question.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I was wondering where you work. The weather looks amazing.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: You're in Arizona, all right. Who's the best athlete in
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: your family, Isaac? Because your dad played football at West Virginia,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: your brother was drafted by the Royals. I don't know
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: if your mom was a professional athlete in any capacity,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: But who's the best athlete in the Collins plan?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with me. I have to my dad.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: He was a really good football player, but he wasn't
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: the best at baseball. Roman my older brother, he was
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: an extremely good baseball player. But I have more rushing
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: yards than him our senior year. So I'm gonna have
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: to go with myself. On that one.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Now, you wanted to play football at West virgin and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you also kind of following in your dad's footsteps, how'd
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you end up really sticking to the baseball up?
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Once I saw my brother get drafted, I was a
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: junior in high school. He actually got drafted by the
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Can't See Royals, which is full circle moment for us.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: But he got drafted my junior year high school. He
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: was a fifth round pick. So when I saw him
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: do that, that was kind of you know, I can
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: do it too. If Broman can do it, I can
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: do it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Who's one guy? Who's one guy in probably a layup
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: when I asked this that you want to see day
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: in and day out for one hundred and sixty two games?
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: And where's that bar set from? Who that guy was
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: with with the Brewers? So who you want to see
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: with the Royals play one hundred and sixty two games?
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Probably have an idea who it is, But who was
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: that bar set right now? Where you're like, WHOA? I
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: watched that dude in Milwaukee every single day and I
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: was impressed, you.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Know, I mean Bobby with you know, I mean I'm
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: excited to play with him, Like he's uh, you know,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: the best shortstop and base right now, you know, only
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: twenty five years old. Like it's it's gonna be so
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: cool to see him play every single day. And and
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: just like the the vibes of the of the clubhouse,
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: you know, with Bobby being kind of the leader and
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: coming from Milwaukee where it was Yelich who you know,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: tail ended his career, you know, m v P, it's
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: a little different like you know with Milwaukee, Uh, Yelich,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: he was he was kind of like a mentor, you
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: know to all of us, and because he just had
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: so much experience and he was like like like master
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: Splinter and we were the little teenage mutant ninja turtles,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: just like keeping us in check and and letting us
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: know like what what to look for and when when
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: we can take a step back and when we could
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: be a little aggressive. And you know, with Bobby, you know,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: he's young, like he's you know, he's been in the
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Leaf for a few years now, and he's extremely talented,
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: but it's he's at a totally different stage of his
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: career years compared to Yelich. So it's I can just
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: tell from that, like the vibes of the clubhouse are
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: you know, a little more just young and a lot
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: of excitement, you know, not that we didn't have that
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: in Milwaukee, but it's it's different, you know, when your
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: best players twenty five is compared to you know, thirty
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: three or thirty four over old yell, chhiit is. So
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: it'll be fun though. I'm excited. You know, he's such
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: a good talent, and you know he sets the tone.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: He plays hard all one hundred and sixty two games.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I love that, master Splinter. I feel like I feel like, yeah,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna text Yelly that he was a master Splinter.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I like that. Postseason, Yeah, postseason. You guys won the
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: most games in baseball. You guys beat the Cubs in
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: an awesome anytime the Brewers get to play the Cubs,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: it's an awesome rivalry. If you've never been a part
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: of it, it's awesome. So good for that. But then
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: the Dodgers came in and really just stomped you guys.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Is there a feeling that it was like, Wow, how
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: did this happen? Happened? We had Pat, we had murph
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: On and it was like, hey, you know this, this
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: little this, I forget what instance he said, but if
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: this goes a different way, you know it's a one
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: to one series or you know, the series changes. Did
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: you see that happening in the sense of like the
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: way that it happened, like it happened so quick or
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: did you look up and go, WHOA four games? That
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: was quick?
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, and uh it was. It was quick,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: but it also wasn't at the same time. I mean
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: that game one, you know, we had a we had
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: a shot there to win in I think if we
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: we take that one, it totally changed the series. But
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: it was just like a gradual just like a you know,
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: snowball rolling down the hill. Like you know that game
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: one was close. You know, Game two we competed well,
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: and then you know three that kind of you know,
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: handled us a little bit, and in game four was
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: just the the Otani show.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, it happened. I'm not gonna lie.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: It happened quick, but I mean, murce try like you know,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: baseball is one of those games like one pitch or
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: one ball just kind of bounces your way.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: It totally changes.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: The the momentum of the game. And they yeah, we
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: just we ran into you know, a buzz saw like
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: they just they they played really good baseball for four games,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: and we just didn't play to our best ability.

  Speaker 4: that's a tough one. I'm a big fan of Ross.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: I might have to go the beer brock.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: All right, are the tough questions that I ask you,

• 15:16
  Speaker 7: now in FTJP. Great to have you on the show.
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: We really appreciate the time. How's the off season for you?
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: Hey, what's up guys? Yeah? Thanks for having me. Yeah,
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: everything's been great.
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: Just been here down here in Charleston, South Carolina, working
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: out with some guys here that live here as well,
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: and you know, getting geared up to go out west
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: here soon.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: Question for you, just because it's the hot topic, I mean,
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: you just came on when this happened. I'm sure you
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: heard us chatting about it. Did you follow this Trek
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: Scoogle arbitration case at all? I know, for you, I think, yeah,
• 15:46
  Speaker 7: you guys settled you and the padres before, so you
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: didn't have to deal with an arbitration case. But just
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: for all the players out there, Schooble, I'm sure was
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: getting texts and people were just following it almost like
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: it's a sporting event in the off season, because it
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: was such a discrepancy, so get to take a look
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: at what happened there.
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I actually found out the news from you guys
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: from like hopping on right here, obviously with it being
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: so recent, but yeah, going through the process a little
• 16:10
  Speaker 8: bit myself for the first time this year obviously piqued
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: my interest a little bit more and so definitely followed
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: it song and you know, you were, you know, everybody
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: was kind of excited to hear the news on one
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: side or the other. So yeah, I'm super happy for him, obviously,
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: very well deserved. He's been a treat to watch him.
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: Afar as a left handed pitcher.
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: How did that process go for you? Because people, yes,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: we have baseball fans that listen, but it's hard. Like
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Scoobles and his third arbitration case. He's a cy Young
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Award winner. You're in your you said you're first correct correct?
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, first time?
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: And how and kind of explain a little bit. Did
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: you feel like, Okay, I moved over to the Padres.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Had I stayed with Sacramento and I stayed with the A's,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: you know, would have been a little different. They know me.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Did you feel like they pressured you to sign, you know,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: the contractor did you feel like everything was above board
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: and you were happy with it?
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I was really happy with the whole process.
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: The Padres handled it really well. I feel like my
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: agent handled it really well. And you know, I was
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: just going through it trying to learn as much as
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: I could during the process of it.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: Obviously, as a player, you you strived.
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: To get to the big leagues, and then as you
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: kind of slowly get more and more years, you know,
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: you get closer to it and started to learn a
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: little bit more about the process. And so for me,
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: it was really educating just getting to know it, you know,
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: getting to learn the.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Details of it all.
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: And obviously asked my agent a million questions about it,
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: but you know, just overall, yeah, I was.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: I was happy with the process of.
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: It, and yeah, and happy how it turned out.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: JP did they did when you signed that deal, when
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: they made the offer, was your agent and I don't
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: know who your agent is, so excuse me, but was
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: your agent say, hey, man, I really think this is
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: a good number for you, So like, let's do this
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: because you don't really want to go through arbitration, Like
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: you don't want to go through the process.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: This is a good number. And listen, that's a nice numb.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think that.
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: You know, it's obviously really humbly just getting paid that
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: to play baseball in general. And as a player, you
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: know you're competitive, and you know you obviously wan want
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: to be you know, you want you want to get
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: what you're worth, but also I want to make my
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: value more than that this year. And yeah, so like, yeah,
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: our conversations were just about me wanting to get what
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: I felt like I was happy and what I should
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: earn and and I feel like that that's what I got.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: That trade when you got thrown when when they threw
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Mason Miller into the JP Sears trade, did you feel
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: did you feel good for because I mean, Mason pitches
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: like he pitches an inning, like you're a starting pitcher,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: like you are the marquee part of that trade. Did
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: you see it coming? I've asked this to so many guys.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: You know, you're a controllable player. It's a young team
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: with in Sacramento, and it's like, well, why would they
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: why would they trade both of us? Like we're both good,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: we're both part of this team that they're building.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I mean, like, there's so many emotions
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: when you get traded. Obviously it was it was fun
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: to get traded with someone like that caliber. Obviously Mason's
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: one of my one of my great friends too, Like
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: we've become really close over the last couple of years,
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: So getting to move over there with him was something
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: that made me and I'm sure him feel a little
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: bit more comfortable, just because you know, get this is
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: I guess third time getting traded, but second time in
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: the big leagues. I feel like, so those days can
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: be kind of crazy. You know, it's a lot of
• 19:27
  Speaker 8: mixed emotions of you know, you're around a lot of
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: the same guys for two or three years, and you
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: become close to them, so it's tough to leave. But
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: also there's so much ahead in baseball, and you know,
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: as you guys know this, it's a long career and
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: you know it's your own career. So being on a
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: team like the Padres is going to be a blessing.
• 19:43
  Speaker 8: I'm you know, I'm super excited to compete with these
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: guys and to learn more about them. We just had
• 19:48
  Speaker 8: a camp last week. Joe had us out for a
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: little like a week long camp out in San Diego,
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: so that, you know, it really was big about like
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: getting getting to know everybody more, even like even though
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: I got some time there last year, just makes spring
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: train I feel quite as fresh.
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: JP when you were talking about this trade. But what
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: I want to know is you went from Sacramento basically
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: not basically it's a Triple A ballpark right to San Diego,
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: which is unbelievable ballpark, forty thousand, every game screaming, yelling,
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: they could be you guys could be playing the Mets
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: and they're yelling bat la right, Like it's just an
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: atmosphere every game, right. What was that like? Because you
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: literally you went from Oakland where they didn't draw anybody.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: Then you went to Sacramento, which is a minor league ballpark,
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: to San Diego, which is one of the great ballparks
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: in the league.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, it was the first time I went there
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: in twenty twenty three.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: I was wowed by it from the beginning of you know,
• 20:42
  Speaker 8: the support that the fans have, and and just like
• 20:44
  Speaker 8: the obviously the city and the atmosphere of the stadium
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: and how just you know, how how much it comes
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: to life every night. So yeah, that was a big
• 20:52
  Speaker 8: exciting part about the trade was known that I will
• 20:54
  Speaker 8: get to play in front of those fans and got
• 20:56
  Speaker 8: to go out to Fan Fastest past week and meet
• 20:58
  Speaker 8: some of the people, and yeah, it's definitely gives you
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: a little bit more of a boost and energy having
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: a lot of fans in there yelling, and obviously they
• 21:05
  Speaker 8: do a great job in San Diego too of just
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: like pulling for the guys, like being really positive. It
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: seems like that they're really supportive fan base. So I'm
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: excited about that part of this year for sure.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: One of the things you kind of glazed over, you said,
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Joe ran a camp. You mean Joe Musgrove.
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: Musgrove, Yeah, like I mean he wasn't the one obviously,
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: like you know, running the whole thing, but Joe put
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: it on Joe. You know, it took us out a
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: lot of guys out to dinner some nights, He set
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: up some things and you know, just I think you
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: guys know in baseball is just so much going on
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: in the first couple of weeks of spring training. So
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: getting that comfortability of each other and starting to grow
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: that bond of you know, becoming good teammates is really
• 21:40
  Speaker 8: big and you know, developing a winning atmosphere.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Who who all was out there? And what the what
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: a kind of activities did you guys do? Like did
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: you guys like do balloon tosses? And did you guys
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: go to the park together?
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: And some some close some stuff close to that. There
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: were some videos on Instagram of us at the beach
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: one day. Yeah Joe, Uh yeah, he set up some
• 22:01
  Speaker 8: dinner some night. You know, we went we went on
• 22:03
  Speaker 8: a boat one night Wednesday. He does a lot of
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: working out. Uh, he goes to the beach. Obviously, living
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: in San Diego, you're able to go out to the
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: beach all the time. So we did a little bit
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: of like a dynamic cardio work out there and did
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: some competitive stuff out on the beach that was fun.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: And yeah, and.
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: Then obviously we had and did some community community relations things.
• 22:20
  Speaker 8: Were able to go visit some animal shelters and go
• 22:23
  Speaker 8: visit some elderly homes and went to the Air Force
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: base and the Naval base.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: And all that. So just a little bit of mix
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: of everything.
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: I feel like it just kind of brings out, you know,
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: the different size of all the players, and you're able
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: to become a closer teammates because of that.
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: JP did he make you guys all go to his
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: coffee shop, his parents' coffee shop.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: No, I've heard about it though, And I know Joe's
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: big on coffee.
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: He's got he's got his he's got his little step
• 22:47
  Speaker 8: in the clubhouse and yeah, and so no, I didn't
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: go there, but I'll obviously be checking that out very
• 22:52
  Speaker 8: early in this season.
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: And and then the other thing is is like Joe's
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: was San Diego native. He couldn't get you guys to
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: go seal training, couldn't get you guys to run the
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: obstacle course out.
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know what.
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: I don't know if he could have convinced anybody to
• 23:05
  Speaker 8: do that if they had. I mean, I don't know
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: about y'all. I mean, I don't really want to do
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: any of that stuff. I got there and I watched
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: some of you've seen videos of some of those guys,
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: and it's unreal. But yeah, Joe's been a great leader
• 23:18
  Speaker 8: so far, and it's been great to get to know
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: him and obviously a lot of the other guys that
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: have been there for a little bit.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: JP.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: Come on, you know you wanted to make is a
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: sugar cookie, because they'll take you out there and they'll
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: let you run out there in the boats and then
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: run in and I'm a little sugar cookie in the sand,
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: and then they make your run out. Trust me, I've
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: seen it, and I've been offered it, and I've said no.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: I've been out there a few times, but I've never
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: actually done it. And no, I'm not climbing the obstacle
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: course because there's a good chance on the ball and
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: hurt something.
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: So no, Yeah, I mean I'm a little bit crazy
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: to her.
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: I would probably have a hard time saying no, just
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: because it's a unique opportunity and I'd want to try
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: and see what everybody around me's got and see if
• 23:52
  Speaker 8: I can last longer than some guys in around me.
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: But at the end of the day, I think that
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: there's nothing compared to what those guys do.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: We all know that, and we actually get to got
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: to hear some of them speak. They came and spoke
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: to us too. That was another thing that they set up.
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: And so just hearing the different perspective of those guys
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: and how you know, how our jobs relate in so
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: many different ways.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: You get out there and be competitive against your other
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: starting pitchers, you at least wouldn't you wouldn't you wouldn't
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: find you wouldn't come in last behind Randy Basquets. You
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: have to beat. That would be the biggest thing the Randy.
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: Randy and I knew each other with the Yankees and
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: we've been good friends.
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: Randy is the best. Yeah, I think that would definitely
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: be one.
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: I can't let Randy beat me, but uh yeah, or
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: Nick or any of those guys. Michael, Michael King and
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: I are good friends too, so it would be a
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: very competitive group for sure.
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: Oh I forgot that Kinger and you played with the Yankees. Yeah, yeah,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: that's my bad. That's my bad.
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: I forgot that my last My last video of KRATS
• 24:49
  Speaker 8: was you when you catch called Davy in the playoff game.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was another another one of your guys. Yeah,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: you guys were all you guys are all the studs
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: coming up through the Yankees.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah. So yeah, King, here's a man.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Let's talk about Sacramento. Talk about Sacramento. Obviously, things came
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: out that Luis Severino said you can look at his numbers.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: How much did that come into maybe more of your
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: psyche than actually physically the field affecting pictures? And how
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: bad was it early and were they able to get
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: it a little bit better? Obviously you left before the
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: end of this season because this is really like, this
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: isn't like to me. I love Louis Severino as a teammate,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: as a man, and he's a competitor, and for him
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: to come out and say it, some people got on
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: him because, oh, you're soft, You're not doing good, You're like,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: this is real, and I think the show shows that,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: like players can have real opinions of playing in a
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: triple A ballpark. So what was your what was your
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: interaction with that?
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean obviously Sevi was, you know, the leader
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: of our staff there last year, and you know, seeing
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: those struggles is hard to watch, you know, just seeing
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: the difference in the games at home and away, and
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: it's kind of hard to have really to too much
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: of any excuse in my look in my eyes, and
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: not not a knock on sev because it really is
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: a big difference from maybe where he had pitched the
• 26:08
  Speaker 8: last couple of years and last six seven years in
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: the big League, So like, I can definitely see a
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: big difference in some of those aspects.
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: But you know, for me, it's just I get out there.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: It's just hard to really ever get past the fact that,
• 26:22
  Speaker 8: like what my job is, it doesn't really matter where
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: I'm at. It doesn't really matter the team you're facing,
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: or the conditions or really the fan base or the
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: stadium or any of the outside things. Is like, you know,
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: if I got beat that day, it was my fault,
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: you know. And if I and if I and if
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: I won that day, it was because I did my job.
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: So it's just hard to really, uh, in my eyes,
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: making an excuse because I couldn't really look it like
• 26:45
  Speaker 8: that when I was in the moment, because it's then
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: you before you know it, it's it's well past gone
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: and it's way worse than it could have been. So
• 26:51
  Speaker 8: I think a big part of that is just a mentality.
• 26:53
  Speaker 8: And but yeah, it was definitely adjustment for Sev and
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: I think that you see with the A's and like
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: how they how they handle the last two months six
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: weeks of the season. The pitching staff was did a
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: really good job. So you can see you'll be able
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: to see a probably a big difference in last year
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: and this year.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: I'd imagine j P.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: You mentioned King and a bunch of guys that you've
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: played with before, but miguel Aanduhar just signed over there too.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Is it like everyone has to follow you wherever you go?
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: These guys have to go and follow you.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: I don't I think I don't have phone me or
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: more so King, I don't.
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: Know, but yeah, but yeah, he Meggi is the man.
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: He was the nicest guy to me when I first
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: made the big leads with the Yankees and and then
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: it was great to see him come and play with
• 27:38
  Speaker 8: him the last two years with the A's and Meggie
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: is just a great guy.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: It's a great personality.
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: He works hard and you know, he's a great teammate,
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: so being able to have him around again, and he'll
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: fit in so well with the group of guys that
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: they have, the you know that the position players have
• 27:53
  Speaker 8: there and just a group in general. And so yeah,
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: anytime you can get good people, I think that's a
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: big part of you guys, know how small is is,
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: Like getting a great player is awesome, but also getting
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: great people as well as a big part of being good.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: All Right, So you've had Boom, you've had Cats, you've
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: had Shilt, and now you get a freaking relief pitcher
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: as your manager. Unbelievable. How different do you think it's
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: going to be?
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I'm excited about it.
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: You know, Craig's been you know, I got to meet
• 28:25
  Speaker 8: him last year towards the end of the season when
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: we were in Chicago for the for the wild Card,
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: and every single person that's spoken about him or had
• 28:32
  Speaker 8: any type of relations with him says that he's just,
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: you know, he's a head, head down, knows you know,
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: grinder guy, and you know, and someone that you just
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: don't want to let down and that you know, just
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: handles everything he does so gracefully. So it's been great
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: to get to know him a little bit, and obviously
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: I'll get to know him a lot more the next
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: couple of weeks. But uh yeah, and then obviously having
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: the relation of just being a pitcher. And that's one
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: of the first things he said to us this past
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: week when we saw him, was, you know, I think
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: that it'll be fun to get to you know, have
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: a little bit more to relate to and just be
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: able to know kind of what some guys are going through.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: All right, Last one for me, what are your personal goals?
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: Because obviously you guys talk, You went to the you know,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: you had coffee with Joe and you guys had some
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: nice you know, patty cake everything, team, team bonding. What
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: are your goals? Because it's a it's a team game
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: played by individuals. So what do you want to see
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: out of yourself for this year?
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's hard to always you know, goals are such
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: a finicky thing because you know, you want to have
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: such high goals and so like, yeah, every year, I
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: try and really focus on the things that I can control, right,
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: you know. Number one is just outside of competing, is
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: just having a great attitude and being a good teammate
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: and making myself available for the team every day, just
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: being healthy, doing my job, and so that's like a
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: big part of just the outside things that I feel
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: like I can't control. It's just my attitude every day
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: and that. And then you know, being a starter in
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: the big leagues, you want to be to throw a
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: lot of innings. So I think, you know, throwing at
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: least one hundred and eighty one hundred and ninety innings
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: this year would be awesome.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: And you know.
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: In pitching to a and pitching to a good era,
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: I think that it's just going out there and I
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: think that if you at end of the day, you
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: know you have a quality start every time, and your
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: team wins and you do your job, so you know,
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: just racking up the wins as well. And I think
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: just in general, I really try and focus on week
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: to week and month to month and just have those
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: smaller goals and like such a lofty full goal of
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: the whole season, just because you know, I'm out there
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: every five days and hopefully you know most of them
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: are better than not. But like there's gonna be bumps
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: in the road, and you can't really worry too much
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: about what's happened at the end.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: And you know, just focused on day to day.
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: But uh yeah, just you know there's in you know,
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: just having good quality innings being available, you know, pitching
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: every five days or are big goals of mine?
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: All right, JP, you weren't there very long, but you Darvish,
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: is he retiring? Was he at Joe musk Grove's fantasy camp?
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: You guys have because he's saying, oh yeah, he was there, tiring?
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: Is he retiring because some people say he's retiring. Some
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: people say he's not retiring. He doesn't know what he's doing. Like,
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: what is happening with.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: You, Darvish?
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: And that's a tough question answer. I really don't know.
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: I know that he's he's working hard to get healthy
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: right now, and I did see him and got to
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: speak to him.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: But yeah, obviously that's a good question to ask you.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: All right, last thing, what's the most what's the thing
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: that you miss the most about the off season? Something
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: that you're like, man, I love doing that in the
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: off season. Now seasons right around the corner here, you
• 31:31

• 31:43
  Speaker 8: fun and you can really only do in you know,
