FT at Mets camp: Sean Manaea, David Peterson · Foul Territory

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We kind of found out in our core what we
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: had as a team last year, and I think the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: front office went out and did a great job of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: realizing what we had and trying to build off of that.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: For Sean and I had joining us right now, Kratz
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: take it away.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: The Sean Mania.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: Last year, the biggest story was your haircut. This year, yeah,
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: the biggest stories.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: You're back. I appreciate you coming back on for us,
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: of course, Yeah, thanks for having me.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: So how did it come together? How did it come together?
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: You coming back? You being back with this team. Obviously,
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: everyone wants to come back to the team that like, ah,
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: we didn't quite finish it, And everybody wants to come
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: to the team that gives you three year seventy five
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: million dollars. That's easy too, but somebody was going to
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: give it to you. How did it come together?
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like, I don't know. It was
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: my third time in free agency. It wasn't like that
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: much different.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: It was just kind of like a lull in the
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: off season for a couple of months, and then you know,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I got a lot of calls
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: and then it was like, all right, we're making a deal,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: and it's pretty much what happened here. But I kind
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: of just knew, you know, being back with them, that's
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: would be great and you know, kind of priority number one.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: So you know, that's what happened, and you know, I
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: feel like the organization reciprocated that and here we are.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it's great. You make it sound so easy.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Everybody else has like three hour meetings, need to learn
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: to dev chart and see what's going on. You're like, man,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna go up and sling the rock up there.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean that's kind of my life motto
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: to try to make things as easy as possible, and
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: the more complicated, the the worse it gets. So I've
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: learned that over the years, and I really like simplification
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: of things. And yeah, it's that's where we're at. How
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: simple is this oblique thing?
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Now we you know, we know you guys are gonna
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: be a playoff team a world series aspirations? Is this
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: still an oblique thing that you would say I probably
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: could have pitched through it had we known we're not
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: going all the way into October.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, like right now, it's just easy
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: because you know season hasn't started yet, I might as
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: well just get out, get it out of the way now,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: and kind of nip it in the bud before it
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: becomes something very very serious. And you know, just kind
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: of where where we're at. You know, I feel fine physically,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: you know, at this point, just kind of making sure
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: everything's good and stable and no lasting residual effects, and
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: then we'll go from there.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Hey, Sean, I want to ask you you to can.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: First off, congrats on everything my guy can. Congrats that
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: you've accomplished and achieved. But you know, I faced you
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: in your earlier days and your younger days out out
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: in Oapland, and even then I thought you were funky.
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: I thought it was a tough, a tough look. Uh,
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: that's tough.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: It's up arm slot to pick up, you know, but
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: you still have continued to press and continue to try
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: to get better. And last year you had an incredible year.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: You talk about some of these you've talked about some
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: of those adjustments. Whose idea was it to drop the
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: arms slot down? And and it's just and what allowed
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: you to trust it? What made you trust it so quickly?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's I feel like everyone's told me that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: I've heard plenty of guys who become teammates say, you know,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: it's like the the lulling of sleep to them, just
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: like the you know, the weird arm angles. So I
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: feel like that's kind of always been, you know, part
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: of my my thing. But after a while it just
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: couldn't it just never think nothing felt good or repeatable
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: or something where I was like going home at night
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: and being like, yeah, you know, like that was like
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: a that was a great outing from like a mechanical standpoint,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: and I there was something else in there, and uh yeah,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I mean just that that one day, the the infamous
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: or not infamous, but the uh the Chrysale story. You know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: he he showed up and I was just like all right,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: you know, like let's just try it out and see
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: what happens. And I, you know, I toyed around with
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: that idea before, but I guess I never like fully
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: committed to it, and you know, it just h I
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: threw a bullpen. A couple of days later, I talked
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: to hef and you know, the the crazy part was
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: that he didn't really notice anything. It was just like
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: any other bullpen, and you know, if I hadn't even
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: asked about it, uh, you know, something probably wouldn't even
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: like popped up. So you know, over the next couple
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: like months, Uh, you know, I feel like my arm
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: slot started to get like a lower and lower, which
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: is kind of crazy to even think about because it
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: was already pretty low to begin with. But yeah, I
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: don't know what that was. That wasn't me like intentionally
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: doing that. I think it just kind of just felt
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: more and more comfortable. And you know, I was throwing strikes,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: so that kind of always my barometer. As if I'm
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: throwing strikes and I feel like I'm attacking guys, then
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: you know I should stop questioning it and just you know,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: go with that and trust my gut.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Well, that was gonna be my next question. I was
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: going to ask, did it like was it a thing
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: where it just felt like more naturally even like like
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: you know, you you do these things for so many
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: years and you have so much success, But was it
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: just something that's as simple as like it actually just
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: feels good from throwing down here, like it was it
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: less stress on your arm or help? Like I was
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: just curious because that was gonna be my next question.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I you know, whenever I would like
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: mess around playing first base or shortstop even I would
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: always just revert to throwing down here, and I could
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: never even throw it. And then you know, I kind
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: of when I was younger, I would have a very
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: hard time throwing to the bases. You know, the the
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: yips came into effect, and once I kind of not
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: conquered it, but I got over like that hump. It
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: was when I kind of dropped down and then I
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: felt comfortable from there, and then you know, the sale
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: thing happened, and then I was just like thinking about it,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: like why don't I just try doing that? And then
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: you know, it was it was immediate from like that
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: first day, I was like I left that game of catch,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: and like I still think about that day sometimes. I
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: was like, wow, that was like amazing. You know, like
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I could just hear like the ball coming out differently,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: just like the power output I was able to like
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: put into the ground felt way different. Just how my
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: arm felt. It kind of actually felt like a spring
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: and not just like muscling a ball towards home plate.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: It was just like, you know, my body was aligning
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: itself and uh yeah, I mean like that's something I'd
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: always been like searching for for a very long time.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: And you know, everything just kind of went into place
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: on that day, you know, those next couple of days
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: and yeah, you know, from that day on it was
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: just like, all right, well let's just lean into this
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: and you know, nothing hurts or anything like that. Then
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: you know this is kind of the path that I'm
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: going to go down. And you know, it tult to
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: me what happened.
• 7:05

• 9:50
  Speaker 4: To want to sound or something that when we were
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: at the BBW A's we asked you about Pete. Pete
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: hadn't signed yet. You guys were working out together based
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: on what your biceps look like and what his biceps
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: look like. Looks like you were doing bicep days and
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: he was more of the legs.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: And back day. How did that? How did that signing?
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: And everything that the whole that whole period where it
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: looked like it doesn't look good, it looks good. It
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: doesn't look good. Pete, can you spot me like I'm
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: about to do about to do mac squat? Like what
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: were those conversations like for you guys? Now that he's
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: a Medican, it.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Goes back to me being simple. I don't really you know,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: I wasn't really fretting. You know, I kind of leaving
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: the universe too, so you know, I thought things were
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: going to happen, and even if they didn't, uh, they're
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: just meant to be. So, you know, just the fact
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: that he's met again such a blessing. I love everything
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Pete does as a human being, as a player, and yeah,
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: just working out together makes for a good offseasons.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: So yeah, just super happy's back. So what is a
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: what does the clubhouse feel like because I was in there.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Every guest we've had on talking about vibes. Vibes maybe overused,
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: but I'll be honest, I've seen four other camps and
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: I said this to Francisco before, like you guys, have
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: you guys in the orioles, The vibes are immaculate.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Okay? Is that what you would say? Uh? Yeah, I
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: think you know you can. It's a long season. Everybody
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: knows that. The way you can make it less daunting
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: and grueling is if everyone's kind of vibing together and
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: you know, just having a good time, and that's half
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: the battle. Uh. Obviously, there's so many like different personalities
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: and you know, all these different things, all these different factors,
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: and you know, it's a very truly magical special thing
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: when you know, you get twenty six guys just all
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: pull in the same direction. And yeah, I think that's
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: what we got over there. So it's, uh, you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: it's it's fun to be a part of it.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: Sean, thanks for coming on. We appreciate it. Hopefully we
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: get to see some like numbers, yes tattooed on your
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: face again this year, right, Yeah.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: Christian Scott had the Uh, the shirt on today is
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: pretty cool. That's cool.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, good stuff. Let's get to David Peterson.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Kratz take it away, dude.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, I just said it, but you said, David Peterson,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: I just said it.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: I'm like your first year was twenty twenty.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: I felt like we played against each other before that,
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: probably in the bushes probably, yeah, probably place you don't
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: want to go back to. And pretty much last year
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: you solidified you're not going back there.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that's the goal, not go back Is that
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the goal.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Every off season though, And then last year you weren't
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: even really like they didn't think that highly of you,
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: and you pushed out Mendy's words. You broke down the
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: door and you left it open, and now you've freaing.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: You just ripped the whole door hinge off with the
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: year that you had, did you was there a moment
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: that you knew, all right, I'm here, I got this.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I I could kind of see it sporadically,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: and then had the hip surgery last off season and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: was able to fix that up. And then yeah, when
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I started throwing again, I just you know, I could
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I could feel the consistency of my motion and my mechanics,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I just started to see the the work
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and the stuff that I knew that I had, just
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: on a more consistent basis.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: How long was that hip bugging you?
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I mean I had had issues for a couple of years,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: but I just thought it was tight, and you know,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't know how bad it was until
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: we got the image. And then in twenty three I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: had a start in Philly where I felt something sharp
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: on one pitch and that was when it was like, Okay,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: let's once the season's done, let's get it looked at
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: and see what's going on inside of there.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: You thought it was just something else that was always hurting,
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Like stuff hurts right when you play all these all
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: these like physicals that guys get and like, oh well
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: we got to get pictures, ah decline the physical, Like
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: does that make you think I'm not telling anybody when
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: something hurts? Or because now you got the surgery and
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: you're like, whoa, everything's flowing together and you were dominant
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: last year, you know what I might tell because they
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: might be able to fix something and I can unlock
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: something else.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's kind of raised and influenced in
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a very old school manner growing up, and definitely was
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: taught the distinction of hurt versus injured early on, and
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: so you know, you play hurt, but if you're injured,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: then you got to say something. So yeah, I mean
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: when I when I finally felt it on one pitch
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and the last couple of starts of the year in
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: twenty three, just kind of piecing it together together every
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: five days to get back out there. That was when
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: it was like, okay, let's let's take a deeper dive
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and see what's going on. But yeah, they had kind
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: of always just said, like, you know, you got tight hips,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you might have a little bit of an impingement, but
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: we never had an image, so we didn't really know
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: how bad it was. But and it was bad, so
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: you got to fix Yeah, exactly.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: I'll be the first one to admit, and this is
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: why I love doing the show like a players show,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: player driven show, and we have players on. I'm like,
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: the Mets need to add a little bit more starting pitching.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Now I get to ask one of those starting pitchers,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: not saying you would have lost your job, but you
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: know there's other dudes in your clubhouse that would have
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: lost their job had you gotten Corbyn Burns, had you
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: gotten you know, traded for Crochet, the big names that
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: are out there, what do you guys talk about as
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: a group, as a starting pitching group that you guys
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: look like you jelled so much Manaia was just in here.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: You guys were doing the paint last year, all your
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: pitcher guy gimmicks. But what do you guys talk about
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: when like, you know, that's the conversations that are being said.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's always been, you know, since I've
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: been here, there's always been an emphasis going into spring
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: training we need more starting pitching, We need starting pitching depth.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: So my first couple of years it was always like,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: now there's one spot left, we got some depth. Guys
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: kind of see how irons out and yeah, you know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's this is probably the best that I've
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: seen out of you know, the front office putting together
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: just a handful of guys that have, uh have done
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: it and done it well at the major league level.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And we've obviously had some guys have some stuff early on,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: and that's where that depth comes into place. And having
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: uh as many guys as you can uh ready to
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: just start in the big leagues.

  Speaker 3: Dave.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: I want to ask you, man, you know healthy, you
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: look healthy, you look confident. Last year, the way the
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: season went, you were thrust into some extremely big spots
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: for that organization, and you you pitched well. Man, you
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: showed that you were up up for the challenge.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: You.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: I go back to that wildcard game that you closed, Uh,
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: you know, and then you talk about the five and
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: the third shuty. Can you talk about those experiences and
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: what are you looking forward to this year after being
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: in those roles and those those experience what what do
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: you want to see out of yourself this coming year?
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think the goal is to continue
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: where where I left off last year, you know, kind
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: of keep doing the same thing, continue to get better
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: every single day and and work hard. And uh yeah,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: it was fun, you know, kind of switching roles at
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the end of the year. We had multiple conversations and
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: just talked about, hey, you know, you you might be
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: helping us out in the most spots out of the bullpen.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: And so it was after starting the last game of
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: the regular season before we went to Atlanta for those games.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: I wasn't going to start against Milwaukee and so being
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: in the bullpen there it was. It was fun getting
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: my first career save in a playoff environment and advancing
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and then obviously the my last appearance, uh, starting against
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers in another elimination game was awesome. And yeah,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: you know, I think we we kind of found out
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: in our core what we had as a team last year,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: and I think the front office went out and did
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: a great job of, you know, realizing what we had
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: and trying to build off of that and make this team,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: uh the best version we can for twenty twenty five.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: And I'm excited to get to work and get the
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: season rolling.
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I want I want to follow on that. You
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: talk about being the best version of the Mets in
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: twenty twenty five, What did you learn last year from
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: not only your team yourself?
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Can you you got me? He's it? Nope?
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: Still now try try again, Cam? Do you just Guy's
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: ear piece of you got me?
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: You got me?
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: He's got nothing? Okay? What are you saying was.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Cam would probably hit a dinger against you. That's what
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: he was saying. I wasn't honestly paying attention to Cam's questions.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: So if we get it back, we'll get it back.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: You can hear Cam go ahead.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, give me the questions. Go ahead ask it,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: He'll ask you. I just.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Last year, you know, from beginning to the end, you know,
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: dealing with the New York media, a lot of criticism,
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: and then you look up and, like you said, there
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: were one game from being in the World Series. What
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: did he learn about that team as a whole throughout
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: that season, from beginning to end? What did he he
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: learned and what is he looking forward to?
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: What did you learn from the team last year? Basically
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: the fact that you guys were one game away from
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: the World Series from beginning to end, what did you
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: learn that now you guys are going to move forward
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: with for this season?
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know, last year we kind of
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: came in and after the way twenty three went, I
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: think it was kind of, you know, go out there
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and see what we got. I think we didn't really
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: have externally a lot of expectations and obviously got off
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: to a rough start and had to dig ourselves out
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: of a hole. But I think, you know, the constant
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: fight and not quitting of that team to get to
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: where we did. Like you said, to be one game
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: away was awesome. And I think it's you know, being
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: able to get a taste of the playoffs in twenty
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: two being the home wild card and getting eliminated, and
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: then last year being able to move deeper into the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: playoffs and see what it's like and what it takes
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: to to move on round to round, I think was awesome.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: And you know, the next step is getting past the
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: CS and and get into the ultimate showdown and.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Win that win.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Did you keep the ball from the safe? I got
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: so many things that while you were talking to Cam.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: Did you get to keep the ball?
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: I did? Yeah?
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Uh, Pete had it and gave it to me when
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: we were in the clubhouse afterwards. So yeah, I got
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: that one at home.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: That's awesome. That that's awesome.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: We actually asked that, asked that later to but I
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: was going when you talked about the Phillies. I have
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: to go on record here. I picked you guys to
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: finish third. You could probably clear less because you guys
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: are gonna go out and just try to win as
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: many games as possible, stay healthy, do all that stuff,
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: but you yourself dominate the Phillies. What is it about that lineup?
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Or because going five and a third shutout, I think
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: you went in the MLDS, you pushed it over into
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: playoffs sometimes like guys do well in the regular season
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: and then it's like, eh, postseason, you just kept it going.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: What is it?
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: Is it something about how their line's constructed. Is it
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: something about the way that they attack you? Is it
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: something about how you just have confidence in a bigger game,
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: division rival against them?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's part of it. That's that's kind
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: of the division rival It's always fun being in those
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: rivalry games, whether it's at home and our fans are
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: all fired up about them being in town, or we're
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: at their place and it's rocking and it gets loud.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, I think they have some lefties
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: in there, probably more than I see on a on
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: a normal basis in a start, So that's that always
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: works in your advantage to have some same side guys.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: And yeah, you know, I think it's just, you know,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: we're two good teams continuing to battle and obviously see
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: each other a lot during the year, So I think
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: it's it's just it's a fun matchup and a good
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: rivalry to be a part of.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Where were you when Soda signed?
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: When you found out not only where where he's going,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: but how much he's going for.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was I was sitting on the couch at
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: home and just kind of I think we were watching
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: something with my wife and kids and saw something on
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: ESPN pop up and said Soda was coming to the
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Mets and uh, And then a couple of minutes later,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I think the the numbers came out, and it's just
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: it's it's wild good for him. I mean, reaching reaching
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: free agency at twenty five twenty six is uh something
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: not a lot of guys get to do. And yeah,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to have him here. It's it's been good
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: to meet him and be around him a little bit
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: and watch him work, and I'm excited to play with
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: him this year.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: Do you think he's gonna buy you a gift besides dinners?
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Like he's got dinners for days, he's got he's got
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: your kids dinners. You think he's gonna buy like a
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: let you? Does your vibe get plague with him?
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Like? Is he a gift guy? I don't know.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, he he got baity something pretty special for
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the number, So yeah, I don't know, we'll see. I
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: think a nice gift would be, uh doing what he
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: does consistently at the play for us and manufacturing the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: offense like he does and adding a crucial piece in
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: that lineup with the rest of the guys that are
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: in there.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: What would he need to have needed to buy you
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: had you been number twenty two? I don't know, Uh,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: like a five twenty nine for your kids?
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: How many kids you got?
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: You got two right now, so then maybe.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: Like you could have taken care of the kids college
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: and the rest. You never know. Let's be creative.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's one thing off the sheet.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: That's one thing off the list. You don't have to hit.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: All right, We're going to hit a couple quick hitter questions.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: And the first one that I really wanted to hit
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: the whole like, where is that baseball? Where's that where's
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: that save ball? Where did you put it in your house?
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: It's uh, we're in the process of of building a
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: house right now, so it's it's in our current house. Uh,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: downstairs with the rest of my stuff. But uh, yeah
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: It was a fun experience and this funny Pete came
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: up to me and he was like, hey, here's the
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: here's the ball from your save. And I was like,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: I knew the situation and I knew where I was at.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: But it hit me after the game when he gave
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: me the ball that it was my first career save,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: which was a cool moment. Afterwards, that's crazy.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Because in the moment you're like, do I get a win?
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I was like, we just gotta win.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Our dog fought like we're jumping around and yeah, it was.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: It was chaos, but it was a lot of fun.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: That's awesome. Do you collect baseball cards?
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: I did a little bit as a kid, but not really.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: Right now, what are your top what would be your
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: top two? If you had two rookie cards that you
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: could get, what would be your top two? Top two?
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Good Griffy as one of them, and maybe like Sandy Kofax, Okay, lefties,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: goy just stick to get a right what's the personality
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: that we need to know about that's in that clubhouse
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: right now?
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: In spring training?
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I mean you just had Sean On obviously he was
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: uh yeah, he was a big driver last year of
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: of the EyeBlack and some of the fun stuff.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: That we did, and.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's he's one of those guys that
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: just you know, you know when he walks in in
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: the morning, and he's a fun guy to be around.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: He's always bringing the spirits up. And yeah, we've we've
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: got some characters in there, so it's it's fun to
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: see kind of where guys are out on a daily basis,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: and it's fun to have Pete back. He's he's an
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: awesome personality in the clubhouse as well. So yeah, we
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: got a lot of characters in there.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: I have to say, as we're about to leave, I
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: absolutely own this guy. So I will get tons of hits.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: But I need to say that because my son's here
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: and he looks at my stats in my career and
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: I sucked. So I'm one for one with an RBI.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: I think we beat you guys that day too, in
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: in Yankee Stadium. It was the COVID season. Anyway, it
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: doesn't matter, doesn't matter, it's just another hit. But not
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: for me, it's not another hit. I didn't have many,
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: So there's that they appreciate you coming on
