Speaker 1: Being able to go back to wearing sunglasses during the
0:01
Speaker 1: day game.
0:02
Speaker 2: That was one of my biggest things for wanting to
0:04
Speaker 2: try it if I started wearing them for the night
0:06
Speaker 2: games and haven't gone back since.
0:12
Speaker 3: You got Max months, even the Dodgers joining us right
0:14
Speaker 3: now on FT Max.
0:15
Speaker 1: Good to see you. How is the week?
0:17
Speaker 3: I mean, you played, you know, I thought one of
0:19
Speaker 3: the most entertaining series of the year against the Mets,
0:22
Speaker 3: and then a pesky Cardinals club this weekend.
0:24
Speaker 1: How was it? Yeah, it was. It was a tough
0:27
Speaker 1: week for us.
0:28
Speaker 2: Obviously, the first two games in Saint Louis didn't really
0:31
Speaker 2: go how we wanted them to go. Did a great
0:34
Speaker 2: job getting guys on base, we just you know, didn't
0:36
Speaker 2: get the hit to bring him in, and so that
0:38
Speaker 2: was pretty frustrating for us. Broke out a little bit
0:40
Speaker 2: yesterday and then yeah, the game games against the Mets.
0:43
Speaker 2: I don't know how many extra inning games we had,
0:44
Speaker 2: but those were you know, as a fan, those are
0:47
Speaker 2: obviously very entertaining.
0:48
Speaker 4: First, let me hit on the Cardinals series. I was
0:51
Speaker 4: watching those first two games. I think you guys had
0:53
Speaker 4: nineteen guys on base before you scored a run.
0:57
Speaker 5: When you yeah, when you're go ahead, go ahead.
1:00
Speaker 1: I just say we did a pretty terrible job of
1:02
Speaker 1: getting those guys in.
1:03
Speaker 4: But but you're a team that just you feast in
1:07
Speaker 4: those moments. Do you guys sit there because you always
1:10
Speaker 4: talk about like evaluating in the moment this guy's got this.
1:14
Speaker 4: We talked about last time, like one of the best
1:16
Speaker 4: hitting conversations we had on the show, Like do you
1:18
Speaker 4: talk about it in the moment, like, hey, this dude
1:21
Speaker 4: is going to a different pitch when we got runners
1:24
Speaker 4: in scoring position, be aware that he's not thrown that
1:26
Speaker 4: curveball as much until a guy's on second kind of thing.
1:30
Speaker 4: Did you guys run into that or was it just
1:32
Speaker 4: like man unlucky?
1:35
Speaker 1: I think it a little bit of both. You know,
1:36
Speaker 1: we had some we had some bad at bats. We
1:40
Speaker 1: had some of bats.
1:40
Speaker 2: That resulted in good contact just didn't get the result.
1:44
Speaker 2: And we also ran into a little bit. You know,
1:46
Speaker 2: Sunny in particular, his last several starts, the data on
1:52
Speaker 2: the sinker wasn't that great, so he wasn't thrown it
1:54
Speaker 2: a ton, and then against us, he you know, abused
1:57
Speaker 2: us with the sinker and it was really good. You know,
2:00
Speaker 2: obviously pitchers are going to have those days. And that's
2:02
Speaker 2: just the unfortunate part of baseball is any any given day,
2:05
Speaker 2: anyone can find a certain pitch or.
2:07
Speaker 1: Find their stuff.
2:08
Speaker 2: And you guys know as well as anybody if the
2:11
Speaker 2: pitcher is on, it's it's gonna be a tough day.
2:15
Speaker 6: All right, before we get into the padres, because you
2:17
Speaker 6: think you guys playing seven of the next ten games.
2:19
Speaker 6: The little San Diegans down there, your little brother, I
2:22
Speaker 6: want to ask you this question. Did you would you
2:25
Speaker 6: go four for eight this series? Four for eight in
2:27
Speaker 6: Saint Louis?
2:27
Speaker 1: I think you were, uh, four for ten maybe something
2:32
Speaker 1: along those lines.
2:34
Speaker 6: Oh okay, because do you know why you had another
2:36
Speaker 6: great series? Because your good luck charm was there?
2:38
Speaker 5: Did you know that I was in Saint Louis this weekend?
2:41
Speaker 1: No? I kept seeing you on the video board though
2:43
Speaker 1: when they were trying.
2:44
Speaker 6: To That's that's what I was getting to, the Kershyont thing, right.
2:48
Speaker 6: I know he was mad about it, but I didn't
2:51
Speaker 6: feel bad about that.
2:52
Speaker 5: It had nothing to do with Kursh.
2:54
Speaker 6: And he knows that we've talked about it, because I
2:55
Speaker 6: bet it was more about Matt Adams and I wasn't
2:57
Speaker 6: on the roster, so I had nothing to do and
2:58
Speaker 6: I had all this energy. So I apologize to Kersh,
3:01
Speaker 6: but your good luck charm was in Saint Louis. So
3:05
Speaker 6: if you need me, just let me know. I'll send
3:06
Speaker 6: you like a cameo or something, and we can get
3:08
Speaker 6: you hot anytime you need it.
3:11
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, don't be afraid to make an appearance.
3:13
Speaker 3: Then huh wall how often did they play it?
3:18
Speaker 5: Mac Oh, they played it like all the time.
3:21
Speaker 2: Uh well, they they actually played that video before all
3:24
Speaker 2: three games. But I mean it's kind of been a
3:29
Speaker 2: recurrent thing we've seen with you know, some teams they
3:32
Speaker 2: keep trying to, you know, play troll videos like that,
3:34
Speaker 2: and you know, I don't necessarily know that that was
3:37
Speaker 2: the case. You know, as I was just saying, I
3:39
Speaker 2: think it was more so just celebrating a moment of
3:43
Speaker 2: you know, Cardinals' history for them. But when you're the
3:47
Speaker 2: when you're opposing team and that's the video that's popping up,
3:49
Speaker 2: it does feel like they're trolling you, and you know,
3:51
Speaker 2: it does seem to keep happening to cursh But at
3:54
Speaker 2: the same time, when you're one of the greatest pictures
3:56
Speaker 2: of all time and you've been pitching in this League
3:58
Speaker 2: for you know, eighteen years he has and you've gotten
4:01
Speaker 2: all the accomplishments. Then you know teams want to kind
4:03
Speaker 2: of take advantage of that and never seems.
4:06
Speaker 1: To work out well for them, but uh, you know,
4:08
Speaker 1: they keep doing it.
4:10
Speaker 4: What did you think of his comments? What what Kurse
4:12
Speaker 4: said about about how you know they played that? And
4:16
Speaker 4: then he goes, yeah, pretty commonplace or or I'm not,
4:19
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't expect anything less from them. Do
4:22
Speaker 4: you think he handled because I think he handled it awesome,
4:25
Speaker 4: because that would have been pissed if they kept playing
4:26
Speaker 4: the one time he ever screwed up and it just
4:29
Speaker 4: happened to be they kept playing it three times.
4:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Kursh handles everything about as well as
4:37
Speaker 2: you would expect. You know, I don't know how how
4:42
Speaker 2: mad he was at that at that video, but you know,
4:44
Speaker 2: his I think his comments kind of say say it all.
4:47
Speaker 2: And he handled it with you know, grace as he
4:49
Speaker 2: always does, and uh, you know, he just went out
4:51
Speaker 2: there and shoved and you know, he got seven seven
4:53
Speaker 2: more strikeouts, got closer to three thousand, and that was
4:56
Speaker 2: the you know, for us, that was the big takeaway
4:58
Speaker 2: is that Kirsh was back to being kersh and uh,
5:00
Speaker 2: you know, it's really fun to watch him go out
5:01
Speaker 2: there and dominate.
5:03
Speaker 5: He wasn't tipping anymore. Max.
5:04
Speaker 6: I don't know if you know that story, but he
5:05
Speaker 6: used to tip really bad. That's where the Cardinals used
5:07
Speaker 6: to beat up on him all the time. He used
5:09
Speaker 6: to tip. So he fixed it. I'm just kidding. They
5:12
Speaker 6: didn't have at least if they had something, they had
5:14
Speaker 6: to sure. Sell didn't tell me.
5:15
Speaker 5: When I was with him, So that was that was
5:18
Speaker 5: a long time ago.
5:20
Speaker 2: As I said, when you've been pitching for eighteen years,
5:22
Speaker 2: I'm sure at some point you've done something. And uh,
5:25
Speaker 2: you know I've obviously you culdan it up really fast.
5:27
Speaker 2: But yeah, when you've been pitching that long, I'm sure
5:29
Speaker 2: someone found something and you just you have to make
5:32
Speaker 2: the adjustment.
5:33
Speaker 6: No, listen, he's he's the best. Curse is one of
5:35
Speaker 6: the best so of all time on and off the field. Hey,
5:38
Speaker 6: let me ask you about the Padres. You guys get
5:40
Speaker 6: to go play the Padres seven of the next ten games.
5:42
Speaker 6: Are you guys ready for this this Padres? Because they're
5:45
Speaker 6: playing well, I mean they're ready.
5:48
Speaker 2: That's kind of how our schedule's been this year, we
5:50
Speaker 2: keep running into these, you know, teams that are in
5:52
Speaker 2: first place, and instead of just playing a three game
5:54
Speaker 2: series and then you know, you get a month and
5:56
Speaker 2: then you play them again.
5:56
Speaker 1: We keep playing you.
5:57
Speaker 2: Know, the same teams over and over and over again.
6:00
Speaker 2: And you know, we played you know, the Mets uh
6:03
Speaker 2: seven times in ten days or whatever it was. And
6:06
Speaker 2: you know, it's just it's kind of how our schedule's
6:08
Speaker 2: been this year. We keep playing a team on the road,
6:10
Speaker 2: and then we come back and play them at home,
6:11
Speaker 2: and then you know, you don't get that chance to
6:15
Speaker 2: rest from them, and you know it'll be a good
6:17
Speaker 2: be a good test for us, and you know it's
6:18
Speaker 2: a it's a good chance they go out there and
6:20
Speaker 2: if we if we play our game and do what
6:22
Speaker 2: we're supposed to do, we can go, you know, put
6:23
Speaker 2: some distance between us.
6:26
Speaker 1: Crats.
6:26
Speaker 3: You look different today, Do I see chubby shorts on
6:29
Speaker 3: your shoulder?
6:30
Speaker 5: Oh?
6:31
Speaker 4: This the sick design. I mean, don't even get it
6:34
Speaker 4: twisted too, because the lining normally is like an SOS pad.
6:39
Speaker 4: This lining that's in the center is so soft, so

Speaker 3: turn some heads. Summer's here. Dress like it in Chubbies.
7:26
Speaker 4: Are the Padres the Dodgers' rival because obviously the rivals
7:29
Speaker 4: the giants, but we've seen those, like traditional rivalries kind
7:33
Speaker 4: of change. Do you feel like the Padres right now
7:36
Speaker 4: are the Dodgers' rival?
7:38
Speaker 2: I mean, everyone always wants to bring this question up,
7:41
Speaker 2: and my answer to that is the Padres bring everything
7:47
Speaker 2: that is.
7:47
Speaker 1: In a rivalry.
7:50
Speaker 2: But for me, my personal opinion, you only have one rival.
7:54
Speaker 2: And you know, I don't like when people say you
7:57
Speaker 2: have rivals. I just think if you have a rival,
7:59
Speaker 2: it's your you know, it's your counterpart. And that's always
8:01
Speaker 2: going to be the Giants for the for the Dodgers
8:05
Speaker 2: at least, and it's always going to be the Red
8:06
Speaker 2: Soots for the for the Yankees. You know, people always
8:09
Speaker 2: made the argument that the Astros and Yankees had a
8:12
Speaker 2: good rivalry going, and it's like, that's true. They you know,
8:14
Speaker 2: they were very good teams that were facing each other
8:16
Speaker 2: in the postseason all the time. But you only have
8:19
Speaker 2: one rival. And so for me, like I said, the
8:21
Speaker 2: Padres bring everything that a rivalry brings. You know, the
8:23
Speaker 2: fan bases hate each other, the teams are both good,
8:26
Speaker 2: they're playing well, the environments are hostile. It's everything that
8:29
Speaker 2: you would expect out of a rivalry. And you know,
8:32
Speaker 2: to me, I would I would say it's everything you
8:35
Speaker 2: would get out of a rival. But for me, your
8:38
Speaker 2: rival is just one team. You don't have multiple teams
8:41
Speaker 2: as your rival.
8:43
Speaker 6: Well, it's not a rival unless they win a World seria.
8:45
Speaker 6: That's why I kind of that's why the way the
8:46
Speaker 6: Dodgers fans look at it, that's why they're like, uh,
8:49
Speaker 6: go away Nats. But all right, so you started wearing
8:52
Speaker 6: glasses recently, and you know, I work contacts my whole life.
8:56
Speaker 5: So I understand the whole glasses thing, But is that
8:59
Speaker 5: why you got the obstruction call?
9:00
Speaker 6: Because you didn't know where you were on the field,
9:03
Speaker 6: So you were just walking away kind of blindly because
9:05
Speaker 6: you couldn't see. So that's why you didn't know the
9:07
Speaker 6: runner on third was behind you.
9:10
Speaker 2: No, I mean I was just wandering aimlessly and Trip
9:13
Speaker 2: thought I was in the way and called me for it.
9:14
Speaker 1: You know, I was, I was.
9:17
Speaker 2: Having I was having a nice thought about in a
9:19
Speaker 2: bat probably, and I was just kind of, you know,
9:21
Speaker 2: wandering into space and Trip told me I got in
9:24
Speaker 2: the way.
9:27
Speaker 5: What was that?
9:27
Speaker 4: What was that conversation like with him?
9:29
Speaker 5: What did he? What did Trip say? Well?
9:33
Speaker 2: So I my argument was I wasn't close enough to
9:37
Speaker 2: be called for obstruction in that case.
9:40
Speaker 1: You know, I know the rule. Everyone every third baseman
9:43
Speaker 1: knows the rule.
9:44
Speaker 2: You're you're taught about it, and it's one of those
9:47
Speaker 2: things where if you're right next to the guy where
9:49
Speaker 2: you're directly impeding his path, then yeah, it's obstruction and
9:52
Speaker 2: they can call you on that, even though it never
9:53
Speaker 2: does get called, but you can.
9:55
Speaker 1: Call for that.
9:56
Speaker 2: I felt like I was far enough away from the
9:58
Speaker 2: guy that you know, he he could still see what
10:00
Speaker 2: was going on even if it wasn't, you know, directly there,
10:04
Speaker 2: and I wasn't right next to him.
10:05
Speaker 1: He couldn't touch me. He couldn't reach out and touch me.
10:08
Speaker 2: That's always been the interpretation of the rule is if
10:10
Speaker 2: you're close enough for the guy can touch you, then
10:11
Speaker 2: you're obstructing his view. And so I was trying to
10:14
Speaker 2: make the argument that I was far enough away from
10:16
Speaker 2: the from the bag and the runner that I wasn't
10:18
Speaker 2: in the way, and he said, you had no business
10:21
Speaker 2: being in that area on that play. And you know
10:23
Speaker 2: my response to that was, well, what if Freddie cutch
10:26
Speaker 2: the ball and the guy stops halfway, I have to
10:28
Speaker 2: be there to catch the relay throw. Then he didn't
10:31
Speaker 2: really have a response to that, but then he his
10:33
Speaker 2: next comment was, you made it too intentional to walk
10:37
Speaker 2: in front of the guy, And like I said, I
10:40
Speaker 2: wasn't being intentional about anything.
10:42
Speaker 1: I was kind of daydreaming and just wandering around the field.
10:45
Speaker 5: Oky. Was there a makeup call later in the game
10:47
Speaker 5: when they called.
10:48
Speaker 6: It again for you guys, like was that, Like watch this,
10:50
Speaker 6: I'm gonna get two of these in one game.
10:52
Speaker 5: There hasn't been one of those called in twenty five years.
10:55
Speaker 2: Well, he did call it on Bret Betty later in
10:58
Speaker 2: the game, but you know, Taost scored till nothing was
11:02
Speaker 2: made of it and no one knows about that.
11:04
Speaker 1: But he did call it later in the game.
11:06
Speaker 2: And me and Dino were talking, you know, the next
11:11
Speaker 2: day or the day after, and he brought up a
11:13
Speaker 2: point that Trip was actually on the playoff crew against
11:19
Speaker 2: the Padres last year, and Dino was yelling at him
11:22
Speaker 2: that Manny was purposely blocking the view and that was
11:24
Speaker 2: obstructing him and Tripp didn't call it, and so Dino
11:28
Speaker 2: thought that maybe that was why Tripp decided to call it,
11:30
Speaker 2: because we were on him so hard about that in
11:32
Speaker 2: the last year in the postseason.
11:35
Speaker 6: Hey tell Dino to quit selling you guys out. I mean, gee,
11:39
Speaker 6: your team.
11:44
Speaker 2: Well, you mean, if a guy is holding on to
11:46
Speaker 2: something from a year ago, then you know it's a
11:49
Speaker 2: little different.
11:50
Speaker 5: That agreed. Okay, So let's get back to the glasses.
11:53
Speaker 6: I know you don't like to talk about it, but
11:56
Speaker 6: I did recently notice you started wearing glasses. What is
11:59
Speaker 6: it because Scott wear glasses. I iWar context. I was
12:03
Speaker 6: like nine years old, I don't think krats were as glasses.
12:05
Speaker 6: My son has an eye condition, so I've been I
12:08
Speaker 6: know all about the eye stuff, but talk to me
12:10
Speaker 6: about what the glasses maybe have changed for you.
12:13
Speaker 2: So when I went to the eye doctor, I've been
12:16
Speaker 2: going to this guy for about eight or nine years now,
12:18
Speaker 2: sim guy.
12:19
Speaker 1: That Kik goes to.
12:20
Speaker 2: And he did the eye test, and you know, without glasses,
12:25
Speaker 2: I have almost twenty twelve vision. I have very good vision,
12:29
Speaker 2: but I'm extremely left eye dominant, which as a left
12:32
Speaker 2: handed hitter, that it makes it a little you know,
12:36
Speaker 2: tricky being your back eye. And it's it's something that
12:39
Speaker 2: I thought maybe over the last couple of years had
12:42
Speaker 2: gotten maybe a little bit worse, not that my eyes
12:45
Speaker 2: had had gotten worse, but just maybe that my left
12:47
Speaker 2: eye had been taken over more. I used to wear
12:50
Speaker 2: sunglasses when I hit during day games all the time,
12:52
Speaker 2: and over the last two three years I wasn't able
12:54
Speaker 2: to because I was seeing so much of the the
12:58
Speaker 2: nose piece when I was in the batters that I
13:00
Speaker 2: couldn't see the ball because all because all I could
13:02
Speaker 2: see was the nose piece. And you know, as I'm
13:05
Speaker 2: kind of talking about this with the doctor, he you know,
13:07
Speaker 2: just mentioned something to me that you know, I had,
13:11
Speaker 2: you know, some stigmatism in my right eye. And he
13:16
Speaker 2: asked me if I wanted to try something. And so
13:18
Speaker 2: he puts, you know, the big giant machine on on
13:21
Speaker 2: my head and it's got you know, the one hundred
13:24
Speaker 2: different lenses that are on there, and he's you know,
13:26
Speaker 2: clicking through all of them, and you know, he has
13:28
Speaker 2: me look at the sign and says, all right, so
13:31
Speaker 2: this is with nothing on, can you read it? And
13:33
Speaker 2: I read it to him. I don't miss a letter.
13:36
Speaker 2: And then he says, what does this look like? And
13:38
Speaker 2: he you know, puts a couple of lenses in there,
13:40
Speaker 2: and you know, it was it was like the letter
13:43
Speaker 2: grew like triple in size almost, and I was like, well, yeah,
13:48
Speaker 2: it looks a lot better. And he goes, do you
13:51
Speaker 2: do you want to you want to try something? I
13:53
Speaker 2: can make you a pair of glasses that's just got
13:55
Speaker 2: a little prescription in your right eye. The left eye
13:57
Speaker 2: will be clear. And my biggest thing is with this
14:01
Speaker 2: even out my eyes. And he said, yeah, I'll make
14:04
Speaker 2: you a sunglass pair of prescriptions and a clear player
14:08
Speaker 2: clear pair of prescriptions and you know you won't notice
14:13
Speaker 2: the nose piece because both eyes we work in properly,
14:16
Speaker 2: and so he sent them to me. It took me
14:18
Speaker 2: about a week and a half to get used to
14:20
Speaker 2: them because I'd never worn anything prescription in my life.
14:22
Speaker 2: So when I put the you know those glasses on
14:24
Speaker 2: they have the curved lenses, it felt like I was
14:26
Speaker 2: in a fish bowl. It felt like I was walking
14:28
Speaker 2: around drunk. It took me a long time to get
14:31
Speaker 2: used to it. And then when I finally did get
14:32
Speaker 2: used to it, the first game I wore was a
14:34
Speaker 2: day game, and that was the day I hit my
14:36
Speaker 2: first homer this year, which strange coincidence.
14:40
Speaker 1: Of course, But.
14:42
Speaker 2: You know, after that, I was kind of like I
14:44
Speaker 2: was able to wear sunglasses during the day, so I'm
14:46
Speaker 2: not squinting as hard having having blue eyes. You know,
14:50
Speaker 2: the sun effects people with lighter eyes. You squint a
14:53
Speaker 2: lot harder. And so that's why I'd always worren sunglasses
14:56
Speaker 2: in the past when I was hitting and being it.
14:58
Speaker 2: Being able to go back to wearing sunglasses during a
15:00
Speaker 2: game is kind of huge for me to be able
15:02
Speaker 2: to relax my eyes. I don't feel like I'm stressing
15:03
Speaker 2: my eyes as much. And that was one of my
15:06
Speaker 2: biggest things for wanting to try it, And then I
15:08
Speaker 2: started wearing them for the night games.
15:10
Speaker 1: And you know, havn't gone back since.
15:13
Speaker 4: When you started wearing the glasses in BP. How did
15:15
Speaker 4: BP go? Because I mean, maybe maybe you're different, but
15:18
Speaker 4: anytime somebody tries a new like contact lens, like prescription
15:23
Speaker 4: or wearing sunglasses, you try it out for at least
15:27
Speaker 4: a few days. Were you raking right away or were
15:30
Speaker 4: you like like you said, like you were drunk. Were
15:32
Speaker 4: you swinging like you were drunk, or playing deepense like
15:34
Speaker 4: drunks like the Yankees.
15:36
Speaker 2: I was hitting the top of the ball quite a
15:38
Speaker 2: lot first couple of days, a lot a lot of
15:42
Speaker 2: just chopping it right into the ground, which to me,
15:44
Speaker 2: I didn't think was the worst thing in the world.
15:47
Speaker 2: And so when I dialed it back in, all of
15:49
Speaker 2: a sudden, the ball was coming out on a line
15:51
Speaker 2: and I was having good results. You know, I don't
15:54
Speaker 2: know if the glasses are you know, the sole reason
15:57
Speaker 2: for that. But as you guys know, you don't really
15:59
Speaker 2: take coincidence in baseball. It's as I always say, if
16:02
Speaker 2: you put your left sock on first one day and
16:04
Speaker 2: you rake, you're gonna put your left sock on first
16:06
Speaker 2: the next day.
16:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, because then your left sock is your left foot
16:10
Speaker 4: is warmer before your right foot is, and your back
16:14
Speaker 4: leg is your left foot, so it's perfect. That's exactly
16:16
Speaker 4: why you're gonna start raking.
16:18
Speaker 5: I get it.
16:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, one day if you put your If you
16:21
Speaker 2: put your shin guard on before your elbow guard one
16:23
Speaker 2: day and it works, you're gonna do it. If you
16:24
Speaker 2: put your elbow guard on before your shining guard the
16:26
Speaker 2: next day and that works, you're gonna do that.
16:28
Speaker 1: You know. It's just one of those things. We're not
16:30
Speaker 1: superstitious in baseball at all, right.
16:33
Speaker 4: No, absolutely not.
16:34
Speaker 5: And shint guard.
16:34
Speaker 4: Shoot, if you put on show Hay shin guard, you
16:37
Speaker 4: might just automatically get two hits. You'll look up and
16:39
Speaker 4: you're already two for two and it's the first inning.
16:41
Speaker 4: So maybe that's what you should do. Sometimes I would
16:43
Speaker 4: put the best hitters' bats in my bag and just
16:47
Speaker 4: take them on road trips, so they'd talk to my
16:48
Speaker 4: bats during the road trip. But yeah, I've seen that one.
16:53
Speaker 2: I've seen guys walk through the batrack and they grab
16:55
Speaker 2: the other bats and they just kind of, you know,
16:57
Speaker 2: rub them on their bats say all right, I'm taking
16:59
Speaker 2: everyone's hits today.
16:59
Speaker 1: I want these hits. And it doesn't usually work, but
17:03
Speaker 1: you know, you never know, it might work that one day.

18:08
Speaker 4: It's it's not the arrow. It's not the arrow, but
18:10
Speaker 4: it could be the glasses. Can you tell us a
18:13
Speaker 4: little bit about your charity event coming up that you
18:15
Speaker 4: got today? It's June twelfth, so.
18:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, days, yes, this Thursday. It's it's called Uncork for
18:22
Speaker 1: a Cause.
18:23
Speaker 2: And you know they're they're an organization that has done
18:26
Speaker 2: this with a lot of players and teams in the past.
18:30
Speaker 2: They reached out to us through our financial guys about
18:33
Speaker 2: if we wanted to, you know, do an event and
18:37
Speaker 2: we could pick a charity that we could help out.
18:40
Speaker 2: You know, at the moment that they reached out, my
18:43
Speaker 2: wife was kind of sitting there talking to me about, Hey,
18:46
Speaker 2: this could be a great opportunity to do something to
18:48
Speaker 2: help out all the you know, the fire relief efforts
18:51
Speaker 2: in La You know, we sat there and watched the
18:54
Speaker 2: pure devastation happen in our community, and you know, she
18:58
Speaker 2: immediately was like, this could be a chance to raise
19:01
Speaker 2: some money and help out. And so we we got
19:03
Speaker 2: back to them and said, yeah, we'd like to, you know,
19:05
Speaker 2: do this event and have all the proceeds.
19:07
Speaker 1: Go to help fire relief.
19:08
Speaker 2: And they thought that was awesome, so they started setting
19:11
Speaker 2: it up and you know.
19:13
Speaker 1: That's that's how it came about.
19:14
Speaker 2: And for you know, for me and Kelly, it was
19:17
Speaker 2: just being in la for as long as we've been,
19:19
Speaker 2: it's it's become our home. Uh, you know, our kids
19:22
Speaker 2: have grown up there. You know, it's it's it's become
19:26
Speaker 2: our home away from home. And to sit there in
19:29
Speaker 2: the off season and see, like I was saying, the
19:31
Speaker 2: devastation happens to your community, it hits a lot harder,
19:34
Speaker 2: and you know, you just see all these people without
19:37
Speaker 2: their homes and without ways to move forward, and to
19:41
Speaker 2: have any type of chance to get back to the
19:42
Speaker 2: community that has, you know, helped helped us grow so much.
19:46
Speaker 1: We we had to jump at the opportunity. And so
19:50
Speaker 1: that's how that came about.
19:51
Speaker 2: And we're really excited about On Thursday, we got a
19:53
Speaker 2: lot of awesome stuff. There's gonna be an auction for
19:56
Speaker 2: you know, some wine bottles, some jerseys, bats, all signed
20:00
Speaker 2: by the players. You know, there's some six lead wine
20:04
Speaker 2: bottles that have been signed by the team. Uh, they're
20:06
Speaker 2: they're pretty awesome looking, you know, and one hundred percent
20:09
Speaker 2: of the proceeds are going to go to help out
20:10
Speaker 2: the fire relief efforts.
20:12
Speaker 4: Who on the team is the most philanthropic? Who on
20:15
Speaker 4: the team do you look at and you go and
20:16
Speaker 4: if it's you, you don't have to say you, it's fine,
20:18
Speaker 4: But who would be second place? You look at you
20:20
Speaker 4: because there's always somebody on the team that you're like.
20:23
Speaker 1: Dang, go on that that guy's always doing.
20:25
Speaker 4: I gotta do more. I gotta do as much as
20:27
Speaker 4: that guy. Maybe not everybody can give as much because
20:30
Speaker 4: not everybody makes the.
20:31
Speaker 1: Same Uh, that's that's actually it's not me.
20:35
Speaker 2: But that's a tough question, uh, because we have so
20:38
Speaker 2: many guys that do many, so many good things. I mean,
20:42
Speaker 2: Kersh just over the course of his career has done
20:44
Speaker 2: so much to help out so many different avenues. And uh,
20:47
Speaker 2: you know, Freddy's given back, Mookie's given back, Will's given back,
20:53
Speaker 2: you know, all of there's so many guys in the clubhouse.
20:56
Speaker 2: It's really hard to just pick one answer that you know,
21:00
Speaker 2: everyone's been given back so much to the community in
21:03
Speaker 2: to certain areas.
21:04
Speaker 1: It's it's hard to pick just one guy.
21:06
Speaker 6: By the way, a couple of things, or one you
21:08
Speaker 6: didn't mention show Hey, he's not making enough to give back,
21:10
Speaker 6: so he probably that's why you didn't mention Hi, right,
21:13
Speaker 6: because he's only making two million, so he can't he
21:16
Speaker 6: can't afford to give back, right, right.
21:18
Speaker 5: I know, I'm sure. I'm sure show Hay does plenty. Okay,
21:22
Speaker 5: it's a joke.
21:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, he does plenty.
21:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, But I.
21:26
Speaker 6: Gotta ask you this because I was just checking my
21:28
Speaker 6: email and I just went to my mailbox, my invite.
21:31
Speaker 6: It's not in my spam, it's not in my junk,
21:34
Speaker 6: it's not in my trash, it wasn't in the regular mail.
21:37
Speaker 5: I don't know. Maybe Kraft's got one crass. Did you
21:39
Speaker 5: go on, Scottie? Did you get invited? Because I mean,
21:41
Speaker 5: I gotta check my junk, always check your junk junk.
21:46
Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I I
21:48
Speaker 5: don't know. Maybe got lost in the email. I'm looking
21:51
Speaker 5: for it.
21:52
Speaker 1: I mean I can.
21:52
Speaker 2: I can send it to you guys if you want,
21:54
Speaker 2: if you want to come help out, for sure, we'd
21:55
Speaker 2: love that.
21:57
Speaker 5: Gonna be tight now because Thursday is tight.
22:03
Speaker 2: Here, this is like, this is like to say you're
22:05
Speaker 2: my good luck char I mean, you never show up,
22:07
Speaker 2: all right.
22:08
Speaker 5: But see I show up even when I'm not there.
22:10
Speaker 5: But here's my thing. If it would have.
22:12
Speaker 6: Come Sunday, then I would have had four days to
22:14
Speaker 6: play them. But because it's Monday now, three days is
22:17
Speaker 6: not a plannable offense.
22:18
Speaker 3: He's going to send a highlight video of himself, his
22:20

Speaker 1: You can use it.

Speaker 1: We can try.
22:29
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's gonna get I don't know
22:31

22:32
Speaker 2: can try to auction off the video, you know.
22:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, I have some DVDs that used to I don't
22:37
Speaker 6: even know if you know what DVDs are, Max, but
22:39
Speaker 6: they used to give us DVDs every year.
22:42
Speaker 1: Listen.
22:42
Speaker 5: They used to give us DVDs.
22:43
Speaker 6: Like in the half when I was at the White Sox,
22:45
Speaker 6: it would be like Perzinski Positive and It'd be like
22:48
Speaker 6: my four hits for the first half, and I'd be like, oh,
22:50
Speaker 6: and I never want I don't think I ever watched
22:51
Speaker 6: one of never.
22:53
Speaker 1: Mind, I still got VHSS at my house. I know
22:56
Speaker 1: what DVDs are.
22:58
Speaker 4: Like, Max is not Max is not twenty three years old.
23:00
Speaker 4: This is the Max Moncie that's played for a long time.
23:03
Speaker 4: And a J if you want to give the q
23:05
Speaker 4: R coach right at the bottom of the screen. If
23:07
Speaker 4: if Max just points to it right now, just get
23:10
Speaker 4: a J. Get your phone out. My phone doesn't work.
23:14
Speaker 5: I don't know. It's broke. It's oh, all right, all right,

23:21
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what Max, I tell you what I will.
23:24
Speaker 5: I will make it. I will make a donation.
23:25
Speaker 6: Max might not be much as as Crats, but I'm
23:28
Speaker 6: gonna I will make a donation.
23:32
Speaker 3: Or TONI.
23:34
Speaker 2: Can any amount helps, but speak. Also, if you're not
23:41
Speaker 2: able to attend, you can still sign up on the
23:43
Speaker 2: website and and bid on a lot of the items
23:47
Speaker 2: that are.
23:47
Speaker 1: Going to be available.
23:50
Speaker 2: I know we've we've got jerseys and bats signed by
23:53
Speaker 2: you know, pretty much all the guys.
23:54
Speaker 1: On the team.
23:56
Speaker 2: And there is going to be a jersey that's signed
23:57
Speaker 2: by Show Hey, and the guy or the guy or
24:00
Speaker 2: girl that that wins that jersey will get it personalized
24:04
Speaker 2: to them. So I thought that was a pretty cool thing,
24:06
Speaker 2: you know, show Show reached out about that and said that, uh,
24:09
Speaker 2: you know, he could personalize it, and we thought that'd
24:12
Speaker 2: be great. And so whoever gets the show, hey jersey,
24:14
Speaker 2: it'll be personalized to them, and hopefully that brings in
24:17
Speaker 2: a ton of money to help out for the you know,
24:19
Speaker 2: the community. Like I said, it's all going to a
24:21
Speaker 2: great cause. One hundred percent of it's going to a
24:23
Speaker 2: good cost.
24:24
Speaker 6: But if I win that and then he personalizes it
24:27
Speaker 6: to me, I can't sell it.
24:30
Speaker 5: I don't know.
24:31
Speaker 1: That's kind of the point.
24:33
Speaker 3: Is kind of the point, I know, or you can
24:36
Speaker 3: sell it to another AJ.
24:37
Speaker 5: I guess there's no you know, I did see a
24:39
Speaker 5: j Ellis this weekend, so maybe.
24:40
Speaker 2: He will mean I will say, if you win the jersey,
24:44
Speaker 2: I don't think he will personalize it for you.
24:45
Speaker 1: So you know, oh, okay, okay, all right, you can
24:51
Speaker 1: write to Mac.
24:52
Speaker 5: He'll do it if you ask.
24:53
Speaker 2: I'm sure, you know, he he might make like an
24:56
Speaker 2: AI video of him just taking you deep, even though
24:58
Speaker 2: you never well, I don't know, if you have pitch,
25:00
Speaker 2: he might make an AI video taking you deep.
25:04
Speaker 5: That'd be great. That'd be worth more than the jersey exactly.
25:07
Speaker 5: That'd be so great.
25:09
Speaker 6: So good luck, good luck with this because it's it
25:11
Speaker 6: is a it is an awesome thing that you're doing
25:13
Speaker 6: for for the fire relief and everything out there in
25:15
